* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: His crime group is never called the Maggia.[[note]]This may be because there's not as a great a danger in depicting the Mafia as there was back in the 60s, either from UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode or the real life Mafia.[[/note]] Likewise, he is never referred to as Blackwing, and instead [[CompositeCharacter takes a few cues]] from [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Hammerhead.]]

Sonny is not a minor villain, he's half of the Big Bad Ensemble, so I replaced the misused trope with one that fits the actual context of the movie.


* MoreHateableMinorVillain: Sonny Burch is much less sympathetic than Ghost. The former is a low-level criminal-type who wants Hank Pym's technology to sell on the black market. The latter is simply trying to find a way to end the pain she feels ''every second of every day''.

* AdaptationalWimp: The comics Intelligencia was a gathering of Marvel's greatest evil geniuses who were all capable of worldwide domination. In the show, it's an online hate forum started by a rich douchebag whose only goal is to harass superhumans for fun.

* TooDumbToLive: Refusing to return a Wakandan spear to what is essentially ''the most powerful nation in the world'' just screams total suicidal idiocy.

* FreudianExcuse: Karli's an orphan and grew up on the streets until Mama Donya finds her and takes care of her. She lost her home as people return in the Blip. Her purpose of founding the Flag-Smashers is also genuine as she wants to help refugees around the world and end supremacy.
