History Characters / MCUCriminalsTerroristsOrganizations

* WellIntentionedExtremist: She is the leader and most ruthless member of the Flag-Smashers, but she is genuinely trying to help all the people who were displaced.

* BigBadWannabe: He likes to think of himself as the Big Bad and carries himself like one, seeming to form a BigBadDuumvirate with Radcliffe, but it becomes pretty clear that he's in over his head once his InsaneTrollLogic conspiracy theory comes out. Once he launches his grand plan into action, he is very badly outplayed by both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Radcliffe. After remote controlling his LMD body's and overcoming his restrictions he ditches the ''Wannabe'' part and forms a full-on BigBadDuumvirate with Aida. However after the events of Season 4, he's found by General Hale and forced to be her dragon.

* TheDreaded: ''Dottie Underwood'', the Red Room trained assassin who was eternally confident throughout the first season, is completely terrified of her.

!!!'''Species:''' Humans
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''

The other mercenaries working for Ulysses Klaue.

* CadreOfForeignBodyguards: Many of them appear to be of African descent, and they serve as henchmen for Ulysses Klaue.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: There are many people of various ethnicities among them.
* HarmlessVillain: While they probably could pose a threat to normal people, but against the Avengers they are treated as a nuisance at worst and get defeated with little efforts. Especially for the likes of Thor and Captain America, who beat many of them while barely looking like they’re trying.
* MeleeATrois: They are ordered by Klaue to attack both the Avengers and Ultron’s team, who are themselves in the middle of fighting each others. That being said, for the most part they are only seen fighting the Avengers, though.
* {{Mooks}}: They are Ulysses Klaue’s minions, and they are just here to serve as another army of bad guys for the heroes to beat up.
* OneHitPolykill: At one point, Captain America throws his shield and hits three of them at once while they were lined up, one after the other.
* TheWorfEffect: According to WordOfGod, their role in the film is mostly to be defeated by Hawkeye and Black Widow to show how badass these two are, even if they lack superpowers.
* WouldHitAGirl: They don’t seem to have much of a problem with attacking Black Widow.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/DavidSLee

A criminal associate of Ulysses Klaue and Erik Kilmonger.

* AllThereInTheManual: His name is never said in the film, but according to the end credits it's "Limbani".
* BeardOfEvil: A bearded mercenary and murderer.
* GetawayDriver: He appears to be the one charged with driving the ambulance after the museum robbery, and later during Klaue's break out as well.
* HiredGuns: He's a mercenary and, like Klaue, is motivated by money.
* HollywoodSilencer: He and Klaue have silencers on their guns during their robbery at the Museum of Great Britain.
* TheVoiceless: He doesn't say a word in any of his scenes.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He didn't get much personality or screen-time before his death. In fact, he didn't even have a single line of dialogue.

->''"Hey, Dave, can you get the link to the tape?"''
-->-- '''Ulysses Klaue'''

One of Klaue's henchmen who accompanies him to the Korean casino.

* BeardOfEvil: He has a pretty impressive beard, and he's a henchman of Ulysses Klaue.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There are many other characters named "Dave" (or other similar names) in the MCU, notably Luis' friend from the ''Film/AntMan1'' movies.
* OnlyOneName: He's only known as "Dave".
* ShoeSlap: How he gets defeated. Nakia takes off her shoe and hits him with it, knocking him out.
* TheVoiceless: Doesn't have any lines of dialogue.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Last time we saw him, he was knocked out by Nakia in the Korean casino. It's unknown what happened to him afterwards, though we can assume he was arrested by the CIA.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' (appear in ''[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E8TheWell Episode 18: "The Well"]]'')

* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler:What his attempted blackmail of [[DiabolicalMastermind Sharon Carter]] [[DeathBySecretIdentity turned out to be]]]].

* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Batroc was ex-DGSE, with over 36 kill missions, before his commanding officers axed his career. He's also been issued a Red Notice by Interpol.[[note]][[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpol_notice More or less an international arrest warrant]].[[/note]]

* {{Greed}}: [[spoiler:He tries to blackmail the Power Broker to pay him four times as much in exchange for keeping their identity a secret. [[KilledOffForReal It doesn’t go as planned]]]].

* RaceLift: Just plain French in the comics, Algerian in the movie. He's still said to be a veteran of French Intelligence, and portrayed by an actor who doesn't look remotely North African (which could be explained by his being from a French colonial family) and [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent doesn't sound like a French-speaking Algerian]].

* AfricanTerrorists: He's obviously of African descent, and is a criminal working for [[ArmsDealer Ulysses Klaue]].

* ShootingSuperman: They try to shoot normal bullets at Wakandan cars, which are [[MadeOfIndestructium made of Vibranium]]. [[LampshadeHanging Klaue calls them out on this]].

* {{Expy}}: This interpretation of the Watchdogs is essentially the MCU equivalent of the [[Franchise/XMen Friends of Humanity]] and other similar groups, albeit focused on Inhumans [[ExiledFromContinuity rather than Mutants]].

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: His comic counterpart is a Life Model Decoy. Here, he's a human... [[SubvertedTrope Who gets turned into an LMD]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is actually quite skilled in combat, especially with his knives. Even Aida seems wary of him. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome However]], against a super-powered Daisy he loses [[CurbStompBattle as quick as you'd expect him to]].

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Many of them turn out to be fairly sympathetic and well-intentioned individuals who are actually uncomfortable with the extremes that Karli progressively resorts to. However, after they're arrested with the hinted possibility of turning over a new leaf, their transport is bombed on Zemo's orders, killing all of them]].

** HYDRA has always had a "legitimate" aspect to their actions by operating under an official government organization; in ''The First Avenger'' they were the Third Reich's Science Division, while in ''The Winter Soldier'' they were TheConspiracy operating from [[VillainWithGoodPublicity within S.H.I.E.L.D. and other parts of the world's governments]]. The Flag Smashers are BombThrowingAnarchists, yet also operate in the open through their use of masks.
** HYDRA had hundreds of {{Mooks}} to throw at the heroes, but most of them were {{Muggles}}, only making consistent use of one Enhanced SuperSoldier despite their efforts to make more, and reaped the benefit of working within the Third Reich's military wing and the USA's intelligence network to rely on [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill overwhelming force]] and [[WeHaveReserves sheer numbers]]. The Flag-Smashers are a small guerrilla outfit, whose core membership are all enhanced with a refined form of the original SuperSerum that created Captain America, and get by on the loyalty and charity of those sympathetic to their cause.

* UnskilledButStrong: Most of them don't have the least idea how to fight properly, as demonstrated in Episode 4 when the unenhanced Sam is able to hold his own while in his Falcon gear, the comparatively WeakButSkilled Bucky easily beats several of them once he realizes that he doesn't have to hold back (the only one who lays a glove on him is Karli and that's because she hits him in mid-air when he's dropping from a balcony), and they stand no chance against [[spoiler:an equally enhanced and increasingly AxCrazy John Walker]]. In episode 6, they only do well against Walker and Bucky by ganging up on them all at once, or attacking them while they're distracted by hostages; 1v1 the WeakButSkilled BadassNormal Georges Batroc proves to be a ''far'' better fighter than them, as seen in his fight with Sam.

* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: Despite their unsavory image with the U.S. government, they seem to have enough grassroots clout that they have families taking the risk of giving them shelter. Their conversations also imply that they represent [[FantasticRacism a growing social rift]] between the people who were [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Snapped]] and [[Film/AvengersEndgame the people who were left behind]].

* GenderFlip: In the mainstream comics, Karl Morgenthau was male, as was his [[LegacyCharacter successor]]. Not only is Karli female, but the beloved parental figure who inspired her is also her (adoptive) mother rather than her father.

* HeroKiller: An accidental one. She kills [[spoiler:Lemar Hoskins]].

-->'''Karli:''' [[ShutUpKirk They're not innocent! They're roadblocks in my journey and I'd kill them again if I had to]].

-->'''Karli:''' I didn't mean to kill your friend. [[ThatCameOutWrong I don't wanna hurt people that don't matter]].\\

* YouthfulFreckles: Erin Kellyman's freckles are in no way de-emphasized here. In fact, [[OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain they emphasize her youthfulness compared to the two older heroes]]. (For the record, during filming, Erin Kellyman was 21, Anthony Mackie was 41, and Sebastian Stan was 37).

* InformationWantsToBeFree: His excuse for his behavior, [[{{Hypocrite}} despite the fact that he's selling said information, making it anything but free]].

* TookALevelInBadass: In the final episode of ''Moon Knight'', [[spoiler:they all briefly gain the power to judge souls and instantly kill those deemed evil by Ammit]].

* DarkChick: Stands out from the rest of Cal's group as [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only female member]].

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: As Howard Stark points, all the members of the Arena Club have to be "male and pale", which is, of course, [[DeliberateValuesDissonance normal for the time period]]. Women are not allowed inside the club and those men with even whiff of non-anglosaxon ethnicity are not allowed to become members.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: This seems to be her philosophy, since she tells Dr. Wilkes that she wants to use her power to make the world a better place for marginalized people like women and people of color. [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans She just doesn't mind being an evil supervillain to do it]].

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He gleefully recalls the great profits he made from helping to engineer the [[TheGreatDepression Wall Street Crash of 1929]].

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He was in a position to engineer the [[TheGreatDepression Wall Street Crash of 1929]]. According to Masters, every dollar in the US economy has flowed through his company.

* TortureTechnician: He used intense torture techniques to [[KickTheSonOfABitch get information out of a Nazi within 24 hours]]. He later applies his knowledge on Dottie Underwood.

* UncertainDoom: The first episode of ''{{Series/The Punisher|2017}}'' implies Frank Castle hunted down all members of the Dogs of Hell, [[KilledOffscreen which means Jimmy is quite likely dead]].

* UncertainDoom: The first episode of ''{{Series/The Punisher|2017}}'' implies Frank Castle hunted down all members of the Dogs of Hell, [[KilledOffscreen which means Leon is quite likely dead]].

* 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]].

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/5/57/Sonny_Burch_%28Earth-616%29_from_Iron_Man_Vol_3_76_0001.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150422091546 His comics counterpart is a fat man with ugly glasses]]. The MCU version is played by Creator/WaltonGoggins, who in comparison is much more attractive.

* ButtMonkey: Whether it's by Wasp, Ghost, Luis, Ant-Man or whatever, Sonny is a guy with a streak of bad luck and tends to be made a fool of. [[LaserGuidedKarma Not that it's unearned]].

* GenreBlind: While he'd be a decent enough threat in a normal, mundane setting, the fact is that being an unpowered, non-combative black market dealer with resources, money, manpower and connections to the FBI can only get you so far in a setting like the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. When your opponents consists of two size-shifters more than capable of fighting and commanding an army of insects, the premier ScienceHero who fathered one and mentored the other, and a ghostly woman capable of foiling your schemes with little effort, he might've been better trying his efforts somewhere else. Despite being clearly overmatched on all fronts, Burch still continues to try to keep up with them out of a misguided sense that he can handle it, [[ButtMonkey which constantly backfires in his face in spectacular fashion]].

* InsistentTerminology: Sonny and his men insist that the chemical he uses to make people tell the truth is not, in fact, a TruthSerum. It just happens to behave like that. [[BrickJoke After being forced to confess to the police by it, they finally admit that it is actually a truth serum]].

* ManOfWealthAndTaste: He very much enjoys the finer things in life, from his expensive suit to his [[JiveTurkey pimped out SUV]]. When his men battle Hope at his restaurant, he completely loses his shit when his own men end up shooting up his turn-of-the-century chandelier.

* NoHonorAmongThieves: While Hope honors her side of the deal, bringing in the amount of money he asked for in exchange for the part of the Quantum Tunnel she asked for, Sonny makes it clear to her that he knows who she is and decides to [[MovingTheGoalposts alter the deal]] and [[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord have her work for him under threat of blackmail]]. When she refuses, he keeps both the money and the tech as "compensation", forcing Hope to take the tech by force via her Wasp suit.

* ZergRush: How he poses a threat. Whereas Ghost is a OneWomanArmy, Burch has many men at his disposal to go after any target, [[NonActionBigBad making up for his own lack of fighting ability]].

* ParentalSubstitute: She basically adopts runaway and homeless teens to [[TheFagin raise them as thieves and grifters]].

* ConMan: Amy knows how to work a scam, such as three-card monte and is able to lie her ass off effortlessly. [[BadLiar Most of the time anyway]].

* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: Heavily implied following TheReveal that [[spoiler:Sharon Carter is in fact the Power-Broker. It is very likely, in retrospect, that with Sam and Bucky being at risk in Madripoor (and therefore realizing she can call in a favor from them) eventually decided that the two can be her passport back to legal status in America--and therefore wouldn't mind losing [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness a minor crime partner in Selby]].]]

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Once he has told Bucky, Sam and Zemo everything they need to know about the new super-soldier serum, Zemo shoots him dead without hesitation to prevent the creation of more serum. In retrospect, the very fact that Sharon, the Power Broker, willingly led Sam and Zemo to him meant either a) she was willing to lose her "golden goose" of Super Soldier serum just to keep the trust of Sam and Bucky, or b) she did not expect Zemo to be an anti-super soldier obsessive, and losing Nagel and the Super Soldier serum was [[IndyPloy a serious setback that she had to build on]] by leaning closer to Sam's promise of a pardon]].

* SlashedThroat: He suffers one against Ronin, but it's [[SubvertedTrope not what kills him]]. It's the simple stab that does him in afterward.

A Triad whom Wenwu, the leader of the Ten Rings Army, decimated before he disbanded his empire to live a life of peace with his wife Yi-Ling, their children Shang-Chi and Xialing. Their [[spoiler:revenge murder of Yi-Ling prompted Wen Wu to reform the Ten Rings Army anew, with far-reaching impacts that ultimately saves the universe from Thanos]].

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:By 2007, Wenwu had all but disbanded the Ten Rings, content to live a mortal life with the love of his life Ying Li as an honest man, raising a happy family. Had the survivors of The Iron Gang, [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs a petty triad cell]] that he once decimated, not come seeking revenge by beating Ying Li to death in front of their children, Wenwu would not have re-forged his criminal empire in grief fueled vengeance. One year later in 2008, there would have been no Ten Rings Army to kidnap Tony Stark on his fateful weapon's demonstration in Afghanistan, tossing him in a cave with a box of scraps, and Film/IronMan would never have come to be. [[Film/AvengersEndgame And no one would be there to stop Thanos' genocide of half of all life.]] Tragic though it may be, Ying Li's murder at the hands of the Iron Gang is the very catalyst that inadvertently saved The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: The Iron Gang was [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs just another petty ring of loan sharks and meth-pushers you would find in any gambling house in China or Hong Kong.]] Though vicious, compared to the likes of Hydra, the Chitauri and the Red Room, they are ''nobodies'' in the grand scheme of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. And yet [[spoiler:their revenge killing of Ying Li, Wenwu's wife, was the inadvertent catalyst that saved the universe from Thanos]]. See NiceJobFixingItVillain for more details.

* FacelessGoons: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]. They were all wearing [[GasMaskMooks gas masks]] and protective helmets that concealed their faces during the attack of the IFID facility, but a few moments later the remaining mercenaries ditch their equipment and expose their faces while trying to blend in with the crowd of the market place to escape from the Avengers.

* StarterVillain: They are the first enemies to be fought by T'Challa in [[Film/BlackPanther2018 his movie]].

The leader of the Norse Paganist hate group. He wants to find the three pieces of the Berserker Staff in order to [[GodhoodSeeker become a god]].

* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler: What his attempted blackmail of [[DiabolicalMastermind Sharon Carter]] [[DeathBySecretIdentity turned out to be]]]].

* AssholeVictim: While they are never shown as being much of a threat to guys like Daredevil, Punisher or [[spoiler: Ronin]], they're still a drug cartel at the end of the day and are responsible for the deaths of dozens of innocent people, [[PayEvilUntoEvil so no one really misses them when they get killed off.]]

** Years later, [[spoiler: Ronin also kills off several cartel members that survived the Snap, [[LastDisrespects and as if to add even more insult to injury]], Ronin's kills were just chalked up to gang warfare by the Federal Police.]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The first time we see the Mexican Cartel, [[spoiler: they are hanging from meathooks courtesy of the Punisher.]]
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' ''You left men [[spoiler:hanging from meathooks.]]''

* UnskilledButStrong: Most of them don't have the least idea how to fight properly, as demonstrated in Episode 4 when the unenhanced Sam is able to hold his own while in his Falcon gear, the comparatively WeakButSkilled Bucky easily beats several of them once he realizes that he doesn't have to hold back (the only one who lays a glove on him is Karli and that's because she hits him in mid-air when he's dropping from a balcony), and they stand no chance against [[spoiler: an equally enhanced and increasingly AxCrazy John Walker]]. In episode 6, they only do well against Walker and Bucky by ganging up on them all at once, or attacking them while they're distracted by hostages; 1v1 the WeakButSkilled BadassNormal Georges Batroc proves to be a ''far'' better fighter than them, as seen in his fight with Sam.

* CompositeCharacter: With Marrow, who like Karli was a young woman that [[spoiler: Sharon]] took under her wing.

'''Walker:''' [[spoiler: [[ArmorPiercingQuestion You don't think Lemar's life mattered?]]]]

* SheKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler: She's killed by Sharon Carter under the pretense of Sharon stopping her from killing Sam. However, Sharon was also silencing Karli, who knows Sharon's identity as the Power Broker.]]

* ADeathInTheLimelight: Only really gets his character development fleshed out from the other non-Karli Flag Smashers in Episode 4... [[spoiler: just in time to get murdered by Walker.]]
* GoryDiscretionShot: [[spoiler: We don't see the end result of what John did to him due to the camera cutting away from the moments of impact with the shield as well as cutting to a wide shot when John looks at the crowd in order to obscure any detailed wounds on his corpse. All the audience sees is his bloodied hand falling limp after Walker finishes him off. Sam, Bucky, Karli, and the rest of the crowd watching the act aren't so lucky.]]
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: When facing an enraged John Walker, he cries "It wasn't me!" While it's true that he wasn’t the one who directly killed Hoskins, he was a fully complicit accomplice in everything Karli did as well as being the one who restrained Walker in order to let Karli try and kill him, which prevented Walker from being able to save Hoskins. Unsurprisingly, Walker is not moved.]]

* DeathByIrony: He hopes to reach Ammit's resting place, [[spoiler: but he gets killed by one of her guards before he can even reach it.]]

* BigBad: Whitney is the main antagonist of Season 2, though she's initially in a BigBadEnsemble with the Council's DragonInChief Vernon Masters. They're connected via Calvin Chadwick, but they both have their own agendas and methods. She becomes the sole BigBad after she takes over the Council, making Vernon Masters subservient to her. [[spoiler: The finale, however, establishes that the Zero Matter is actually sentient, and is manipulating Whitney into opening a portal for it to invade.]]

* TheHeavy: Eventually becomes this for [[spoiler: the Zero Matter. Her growing obsession with gaining more of it is partially a result of it actively manipulating her, and had she succeeded in opening a stable rift the Zero Matter would have consumed all of reality.]]

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:The first episode of ''{{Series/The Punisher|2017}}'' implies Frank Castle hunted down all members of the Dogs of Hell, [[KilledOffscreen which means Jimmy is quite likely dead]].]]

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:The first episode of ''{{Series/The Punisher|2017}}'' implies Frank Castle hunted down all members of the Dogs of Hell, [[KilledOffscreen which means Leon is quite likely dead]].]]

** As far as Darius is concerned, he just wants the money that Geoffrey promised when he confessed to a murder committed by Geoffrey and he thought he could get it by bullying Wilders employee in the construction site. He absolutely had no idea that his former friend has become a member of murderous cult and unwilling pawn of a HumanoidAbomination, that essentially stresses Geoffrey out which may contribute to his annoyance on Darius' insistence to get paid (which can also be considered BullyingADragon to a degree). This attitude indirectly gets [[spoiler:Andre]] killed by PRIDE.

* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler:Geoffrey kidnaps him to sacrifice him to Jonah after Victor's failed attempts at procuring a victim.]]
* PunchClockVillain: He's involved with Darius because he believes working for him is his only way to have a better life and bears no malice towards Alex, even after [[spoiler:Alex shoots him in the shoulder]].

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: [[spoiler:As with D'Spayre, she has been changed from a demon to a human, and not even a supernaturally enhanced one like he is.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:A seemingly kind and understanding woman who seeks to help abuse victims. In reality, she picks the most vulnerable ones for Andre to feed off.]]

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:She's based on Avanda'''lia''', an agent of D'Spayre. "Blue Note" even reveals that her full name is Avandalia.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:She is victimized by her partner-in-crime by the same method she helped him do to other women and then unceremoniously left on the side of the street to die. After waking up, she is put into prison.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:She survives being drained by Andre, but is left in a coma.]]
* SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler:Initially wanting to kill her, Tandy eventually feels sorry for her after realizing that she was just another victim of Andre's manipulation.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:She used to be a hopeful young girl and a talented cellist.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Just like Andre.

* DoomMagnet: Chaos seems to follow her. The fact that she's with [[OneManArmy Frank Castle]] doesn't really help, though. [[spoiler:Likely because she and her friends took photos of Senator David Schultz, the gay son of famous evangelicals who was photographed in a compromising position, and said evangelicals have powerful friends who want the photos back by any means necessary, just so that their son can move up the political ladder.]]

A Triad whom Wenwu, the leader of the Ten Rings Army, decimated before he disbanded his empire to live a life of peace with his wife Yi-Ling, their children Shang-Chi and Xialing. Their [[spoiler: revenge murder of Yi-Ling prompted Wen Wu to reform the Ten Rings Army anew, with far-reaching impacts that ultimately saves the universe from Thanos]].

And yet [[spoiler: their revenge killing of Ying Li, Wenwu's wife, was the inadvertent catalyst that saved the universe from Thanos]]. See NiceJobFixingItVillain for more details.

* FlatCharacter: Unlike the other criminal organizations in the MCU Netflix shows (or at least most of the MCU in general), the Mexican Cartel have yet to have any named characters working for them, have the least amount of characterization, and mostly just exist as vigilante fodder.

* ChallengeSeeker: Has some strong elements of this, given that he neglected an opportunity to escape for the sake of throwing down with Captain America, then later neglects an opportunity to [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim kill the stunned Falcon]] before beginning their glide-suit chase through the sky. His frequent use of a GrinOfAudacity when taking on superheroes on what amounts to their own terms implies that’s the attraction to him. In ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'''s fifth episode, he forms an VillainTeamUp with the Flag-Smashers primarily because he wants the luxury of facing the Falcon again.
* CharacterTic: In both his fight, he thumps himself on the chest with his fist mid-fight.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Referred to by his real name rather than his alias from the comic "Batroc the Leaper".

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Trying to blackmail Sharon Carter, a formidable crime boss and former CIA agent wasn't one of Batroc's brighter ideas.]]

* IKnowKarate: He practices savate, a French martial arts with lots of jumping kicks. In the comics this is where he gets his full name "Batroc the Leaper". In ''The Winter Soldier'', however, his style resembles more UsefulNotes/{{Capoeira}}. In ''The Falcon and The Winter Soldier'', his fighting style is more akin to St-Pierre's regular style of mixed martial arts, including muscling Sam around with a freestyle wrestling double-leg takedown.

!!''Ulysses Klaue''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mcu_klaue.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"Human life: Not a growth market."'']]
!!!'''Species:''' Human (cybernetically enhanced)
!!!'''Citizenship:''' South African [[note]]born in the Netherlands; has a citizenship in Belgium[[/note]]
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Intelligencia (formerly)
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/AndySerkis
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Enrique Cervantes (Latin-American Spanish dub), Ramón Langa (European Spanish dub), Minoru Hirota (Japanese dub), Jérémie Covillault (French dub), Manuel Tadros (Canadian French dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' | ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''

-> '''Klaue:''' Tell me something. How much do you know about Wakanda?
-> '''Everett K. Ross:''' Textiles, shepherds, cool outfits.
->'''Klaue:''' All a front. It's a technological marvel.

A powerful South African gangster and smuggler who knows Tony from back during his days as an arms dealer. He's also the only mercenary to ever find Wakanda... and survive.

* AbsurdPhobia: He's afraid of, to the astonishment of the Maximoffs, cuttlefish, having been terrified by a documentary featuring them. He's fully aware of how absurd it is and exploits this to mock Scarlet Witch's nightmare-inducing power and the Maximoffs' amateur intimidation tactics. Whether the fear is genuine or just made up to screw with the Maximoffs is left unclear.
* AdaptationDeviation:
** Klaue is ''not'' responsible for T'Chaka's death in this continuity, Helmut Zemo is; it's said that he ''was'' hired to kill T'Chaka at the Bilderberg Conference if he refused to open Wakanda to trade, but he failed.
** In the comics he lost his hand during his first attempted invasion of Wakanda; here, Ultron cuts it off in a moment of impulsive anger. The upshot of all this is that in the MCU, T'Challa sees Klaue as an enemy of his nation -- and [[ThatOneCase his father's last unresolved piece of business]] -- instead of his personal ArchEnemy.
* AdaptationNameChange: His name went from "Klaw" in the comics to "Klaue" in the movies, although it's still pronounced the same. [[note]]It should be noted that "Klaue" [[OlderThanTheyThink was also his birth name in the comics before he changed it]].[[/note]]
* AdaptationalNationality: He went from being Belgian in the comics to South African. Although the file the Avengers have on him in ''Age of Ultron'' still states that he has the Belgian citizenship and was born in the Netherlands.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, Klaw has become a nearly-unkillable EnergyBeing made of living sound who possesses superhuman strength and speed, and can use his sonic cannon in a large variety of ways, which even include the creation of mobile constructs in solid sound. While still dangerous, the MCU version is significantly less powerful, as he remains a mere human being until his death and his sonic cannon's capabilities are much more limited.
* AllOfThem: His answer when one of his subordinates asks him who he is supposed to kill between the Avengers and Ultron.

-->'''Klaue's Mercenary:''' Which ones?
-->'''Klaue:''' ALL OF THEM!
* TheAllegedCar: Or boat in this case. During Klaue's very first moment on-screen, he's complaining on the phone about how old and rusty his boat is to the guy who traded it to him for some missiles.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: He may be a powerful and dangerous criminal himself, but in both of his appearances, Klaue ends up falling victim to a stronger, more menacing villain.
** In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', he got his arm cut off by none other than Ultron himself.
** He's later betrayed and murdered by his former partner-in-crime Erik Stevens, also known as Killmonger, during the events of ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''.
* AmoralAfrikaner: He's a South African gangster.
* ArchEnemy: He is the longtime veteran enemy of Wakanda since the time T'Chaka took up the Black Panther mantle.
* AnArmAndALeg: Like in the comics, he loses one of his arms, this time thanks to Ultron.
* ArmCannon: Gets one after Ultron severs one of his arms. It's this in the most literal sense, as his robotic arm unfurls to reveal the actual cannon, which in itself is an ImprovisedWeapon, originally used for Vibranium mining. Klaue also used it in one scene as a SonicStunner, but to break glass rather than attack someone, though given what sonics do to vibranium in the film, it's entirely possible it's ''always'' been a sonic weapon.
* ArmsDealer: He sells all kinds of weapons on the BlackMarket, and he's notably the only person in the planet capable of delivering Vibranium.
* ArtificialLimbs: After losing his left arm during his encounter with Ultron, he replaces it by a prosthetic arm that also doubles as a [[SonicStunner sonic weapon]] before the events of ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Klaue mentions that his greatest fear is the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttlefish cuttlefish]], describing it as a deep-sea fish that uses "disco lights" to hypnotize its prey before eating it. Either Klaue was misremembering or the documentary he watched was inaccurate. Cuttlefish are not fish, tend to live in the shallows, and use their "flashing lights" either for camouflage or communicating with each other. The description Klaue gives fits the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglerfish anglerfish]] better than the cuttlefish.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Klaue tells Ross that El Dorado was in Africa all the time, saying that everyone looking for the fabled city was actually looking for Wakanda, implying it was the source of the El Dorado myths. However, the myth of El Dorado began with the Musica people, who were native to Colombia, and referred to a ritual in which a tribal leader would cover himself in gold dust and then wash himself off in a lake while his attendants threw gold and jewelry into the water as a gift to their god.
* AscendedExtra: He has a much larger role in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'' than in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''.
* AssholeVictim: As fun as he may have been, it's hard to say he didn't deserve his death, considering he was a ruthless murderer and generally acted like a crazy jerk.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Say what you will about this guy, but you gotta admit that "Ulysses Klaue" (pronounced "Claw" and meaning claw in German) is a pretty badass name.
* AxCrazy: The arm he lost was presumably the arm he used to shake hands with sanity. Klaue is a violent maniac who takes joy in causing pain and suffering.
* BadBadActing: The way he begs for mercy when T'Challa captures him is so over-the-top and ridiculous that it's obvious he only does it to mess with him.
* BadassNormal: Managed to sneak into Wakanda, steal a quarter-ton of Vibranium, kill many Wakandans, get ''caught and branded'' at some point, and somehow make it out '''alive'''. As a result, he's been evading Wakanda forces for many years while also having enormous success as an illegal arms dealer. He also survives encounters with Ultron and the Avengers. He also has NervesOfSteel, doesn't bat an eyelid in the face of immediate danger and likes to taunt his captors at every opportunity. In short, Klaue is as tough as they come.
* BadassTransplant: His {{Artificial Limb|s}}, which contains an ArmCannon capable of shattering glass and blowing a car to smithereens.
* BaitAndSwitchBoss: In ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', Klaue initially appears to be set up as the main villain. However, Erik Killmonger ends up killing him halfway through the movie and taking the role of the true BigBad of the film.
* BatmanGambit: When T'Challa apprehends him in South Korea and has his claws at Klaue's throat, Klaue starts pathetically pleading for his life [[BadBadActing in an exaggerated and]] [[LargeHam over-the-top fashion]], not because he's legitimately afraid, but because there's a large crowd gathering and Klaue knows how bad it would look for the WarriorPrince of a (supposedly) third-world country to murder an unarmed man begging for his life.
* BeardOfEvil: He has a moderately long one.
* BenevolentBoss: It's hard to believe, but even Erik notes that Klaue always make sure of paying his men pretty well.
-->'''Klaue:''' I'll make sure both of you guys get paid.
-->'''Erik:''' I won't worry about the money, bro. I know you're good for it.
* BigBadWannabe: He was indeed Wakanda's ArchEnemy for years, and works alongside Killmonger, imagining that they're equals in a partnership with Klaue's aim being to steal and sell Vibranium. However, from the start, Killmonger was just trying to get Klaue in a relatively defenseless position so he could kill the arms dealer and use Klaue's death to help him realize his own grander ambitions to rule Wakanda.
* BloodKnight: He gets a massive charge out of causing violence with his own (prosthetic) hands. After tearing his way through a casino, he joyously remarks that it was awesome.
* BloodlessCarnage: There isn't a single drop of blood after his arm gets chopped off. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as Ultron apparently heats up his hand at that moment, thus cauterizing the wound.
* BodyHorror: Every time he deploys his sonic cannon, his prosthetic arm has to split open in two, which can be a bit disturbing to watch.
* BreakingOutTheBoss: After Klaue is captured in South Korea, his henchmen promptly come to storm the CIA facility in which he is held prisoner and break him out.
* BringIt: After stealing a vibranium artifact, Erik tries to warn Klaue that the Wakandans are probably going to go after him for that, only for him to confidently reply "That'll make my day!".
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite his numerous eccentricities, he's very good at stealing valuable artefacts, selling weapons and murdering people. In addition, he must be the most knowledgeable person (outside of Wakanda, of course) when it comes to vibranium and its incredible properties.
* TheCameo: In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', he only appears for a single scene, albeit a fairly important one.
* CatchphraseInsult: Downplayed, but he refers to the Wakandans as "savages" on several occasions.
* CelebrityParadox:
** ''The Winter Soldier'' and ''Civil War'' acknowledge that the ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise exists, which Serkis is a part of its Sequel Trilogy since 2015 (as Snoke).
** In ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', Iron Man calls Hawkeye "Legolas", which would imply that ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' exists. Serkis played Gollum in the films.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He was a much more stoic and serious character during his brief appearance in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' compared to the LargeHam GigglingVillain he becomes in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''.
* ChewingTheScenery: His actor is clearly having tons of fun in the role. He even ''sings pop songs'' during his interrogation.
* CloudCuckoolander: Moreso in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'' than in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''. He displays many odd and eccentric behaviors, as mentioned above he even starts singing whilst being captured.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: In this version, he's only called "Ulysses Klaue" (his original name from the comics) instead of "Klaw" (his supervillain name) [[note]]"Klaue" and "Klaw" are pronounced the same, though[[/note]]. Might be [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that unlike the comics, MCU Klaue has remained a mostly normal human being throughout his appearances.
* CompositeCharacter: He has taken many elements of his father, Fritz Klaue, such as being a smuggler and ally to Baron Strucker, the unique spelling of his surname and overall look.
* {{Cyborg}}: Becomes one in ''Black Panther'' after replacing his lost limb with a cybernetic prosthesis that can serve as a powerful sonic ArmCannon.
* DeadlyEuphemism: Klaue's introductory scene is him on the phone with a customer whom he's not happy with. He ends the conversation by warning them that if things aren't made right, "the next missile I send you will come very much faster."
* DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart is not only still alive, but also pretty much immortal since he turned into an EnergyBeing made of sound. In the MCU, Klaue is murdered by Killmonger in his second movie appearance only, and never gets the chance to become a being of sound like in the comics.
* DecompositeCharacter: In the MCU, Klaw's role as T'Chaka's murderer from the comics is given to Helmut Zemo instead of him.
* DefiantCaptive: Even after being apprehended, he keeps taunting his captors and even tells T'Challa to his face that his people are savages who don't deserve to possess Vibranium. Later, he tries to play mind games with Everett Ross and to sow discord between him and the Wakandans by revealing there are many things that they are hiding from him.
* DemotedToExtra: In the comics, he's T'Challa's [[ArchEnemy most important enemy]] and the two have clashed with each other on numerous occasions. In the MCU, he apparently meets T'Challa only once, and gets killed shortly after.
* DidntSeeThatComing: He certainly didn't expect his partner Erik to betray him and try to shoot him, and even less so that he would turn out to be of Wakandan origin.
* DieLaughing: When Erik mortally wounds him, Klaue warns him that he'll never be able to just drop in on Wakanda. Erik then reveals that he has Wakandan heritage, after which Klaue quickly realizes who he is. This realization causes him to laugh at his own mistake, during which Erik kills him.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He gets killed off around half way through ''Black Panther'' by the real villain, Killmonger.
* DoesntTrustThoseGuys: Due to his past history with them, he thinks the people from Wakanda should never be trusted, as he explains to Agent Ross.
-->'''Klaue:''' You know, you really shouldn't trust the Wakandans.
* EarlyBirdCameo: His first appearance was in ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'', three years before a ''Black Panther'' movie. His official description even refers to him as "A powerful new player in the Marvel Cinematic Universe".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** During his very first moment in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', he rudely berates one of his missile buyers and even makes an ImpliedDeathThreat, then he casually resumes his call with another customer who's none other than a minister. This effectively shows what kind of person he is.
** To reintroduce the character and his larger role in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''. He breaks into a museum alongside Erik and kills a bunch of museum guards. He leaves one alive, assuring him that he can go free, but waits for him to run a few paces before shooting him in the head. When questioned about this he points that spreading out the crime scene makes the job look less professional to attempt to hide their involvement, then gleefully uses his ArmCannon to bust open the glass around a Vibranium axehead. The message is clear: for all his giddiness and comic relief value, he's still a clever and cunning criminal who knows what he's doing. It also offers some insight into how he has evaded Wakandan custody for so long.
* EvilColonialist: Ulysses Klaue is a charismatic but cruel thief who pillages Wakanda's prized natural resource of Vibranium, justifying it by saying that the Wakandan are "savages" who don't deserve to have it. He even likens the country to his own personal El Dorado, the city of untold riches in many a colonizer's dreams.
* EvilIsHammy: He's a very exuberant, unhinged and fun presence despite his sadistic love of violence, particularly in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''. After causing an explosion at a casino, he joyously remarks that he 'made it rain'.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: For one thing, [[{{Irony}} he labels a wrapped-up piece of vibranium 'fragile']]. Oh, and he hides it in his pants so he can pretend to flash his junk when he takes it out.
* EvilLaugh: Does this several times in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''. He often laughs insanely while causing deaths and destruction, a good example is when he starts cackling like a maniac after using his ArmCannon to blow up a podium filled with money in an attempt to kill T'Challa.
-->'''Klaue:''' I made it rain! MWA HA HA HA HA!!!
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has a very deep voice and is evil to the core.
* EvilVirtues: Despite appearing, at first glance, to be nothing more than a slimy, double-crossing ArmsDealer, Klaue is afraid of ''[[NervesOfSteel nothing.]]'' Ultron and the Maximoff twins barely faze him, even after getting his arm sliced off he's still giving orders to his men. Even after Killmonger shoots him at least twice, he's [[DieLaughing still laughing]] before being finished off.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When Killmonger prepares to shoot him, Klaue appears to accept his fate and simply laughs, rather than try to beg for his life.
* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner:
-->'''Klaue:''' Ah, to think I saw you as some crazy American...
* FakeArmDisarm: During their confrontation in Busan, T'Challa promptly ends the fight by forcefully ripping off Klaue's prosthetic ArmCannon.
* FiringInTheAirALot: He shoots several times in the air while trying to get out of the Korean casino. Unfortunately for him, this causes him to run out of ammunition when he is confronted with T'Challa a few seconds later.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: After gaining a Vibranium arm to replace the one he lost to Ultron, he becomes this and as a result of gaining FromNobodyToNightmare status, he's shown to be a bit intimidating as seen when he becomes angry at Everett Ross's accusation of him stealing a large amount of Vibranium from Wakanda.
* GadgeteerGenius: Downplayed, but he was apparently able to make some adjustments to an old Wakandan mining tool and managed to convert it into a formidable ArmCannon.
* GigglingVillain: It's more prominent in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', but Klaue tends to be having a very good time no matter what he's doing. He's always snickering and smiling.
* GlassCannon:
** Almost literally. He's got an ArmCannon powerful enough to blast apart Vibranium armor (though the Vibranium nanites of the Black Panther suit are able to NoSell at least one shot from it), but is otherwise just a reasonably fit ordinary middle-aged dude. Once T'Challa finally manages to get close enough to land a punch on him it's pretty much over.
** In his short gunfight with Killmonger, he actually manages to land a couple shots on Killmonger before Killmonger can shoot him. Unfortunately for him, Killmonger is wearing body armor, while Klaue isn't.
* GlassShatteringSound: His sonic arm cannon can emit a powerful frequency capable of shattering glass, as seen when he uses it to break the glass case containing the Vibranium warhammer during the Museum robbery.
* GoryDiscretionShot:
** In ''Age of Ultron'', we're not directly shown his arm getting sliced off by Ultron, though we see the aftermath.
** Also, we don't see him being shot to death by Erik in ''Black Panther'', we only see the latter firing in his direction.
* GracefulLoser: He [[DieLaughing cracks up laughing]] when he realizes how much Erik has tricked him, right before being fatally shot.
* HaHaHaNo: A variation when Ross claims he stole all of Wakanda's Vibranium.
-->'''Klaue:''' I stole... ''[Bursts out laughing.]'' ALL of it?! I took a tiny '''piece''' of it.
* HairTriggerTemper: A rare example of this trope occurs after he hysterically laughs off being accused of stealing a large amount of Vibranium from Wakanda. He also has one of these moments in ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'' in which his hair trigger temper is arguably far nastier in that film than it was in ''Black Panther''.
* HandicappedBadass: Even after losing his left arm, Klaue remains a very dangerous villain.
* HiddenDepths: He has made a mix-tape and offers to give Everett Ross a copy.
* HiddenSupplies: He hides his stock of Vibranium above one of the room of his boat containing toxic wastes.
* HollywoodSilencer: He and Limbani have silencers on their guns during their robbery at the Museum of Great Britain.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: In his first movie appearance, he tries to make business with Ultron, an AxCrazy KillerRobot. It was obviously a bad idea, and he eventually loses an arm because of him. In his second film, he makes an alliance with Erik "Killmonger" Stevens, an [[FromCamouflageToCriminal unstable black ops assassin turned criminal]], who ends up betraying and killing him. Clearly, Klaue is really bad at choosing his associates.
* HumanShield: Klaue tries to use Linda as this when Erik starts attacking him. Unfortunately for him, Erik is perfectly willing to [[ShootTheHostage shoot her to get at him]].
* TheHyena: In ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', there's hardly a single one of his scenes in which he doesn't burst out laughing. This even includes [[DieLaughing the scene of his death]].
* IHaveYourWife: Takes Erik's girlfriend hostage when they end up in a standoff. It doesn't work out because [[ShootTheHostage Erik just kills her himself]].
* IKnowYoureWatchingMe: After his capture, he's taken to the CIA facility and placed in an empty interrogation room, where T'Challa and Okoye observe him through a two way mirror. However, Klaue watches in their direction at one point and tells them that he knows they're here.
-->'''Klaue:''' I can see you!
* ISurrenderSuckers: When T'Challa confronts him in the Korean casino, Klaue throws his gun down and starts putting his arms in the air, making it look like he's about to surrender... but then he reveals his ArmCannon and shoots at him.
* ItsPersonal: His family and the Black Panthers have been going at it since the 19th Century.
* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: When he faces T'Challa during the casino fight, he promptly tries to shoot him with his gun, only to realize that he just ran out of bullets due to FiringInTheAirALot shortly before.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even without meeting him in person, Bruce Banner accurately describes him as a "horrible" individual.
* JustAKid: When he meets the Maximoffs Twins, Klaue mocks their juvenile status and treats them like children, even offering them some candies.
* LargeHam: Klaue delights in being loud, keeping everyone off balance, and having a great time even when he should probably be more wary such as making kissy faces, laughing, and singing "What is Love (Baby, Don't Hurt Me)" loudly while in federal custody.
* LaughablyEvil: Despite being a villain, Klaue is an absolute laugh riot who provides a constant stream of quips and gags and gets some of the best jokes in ''Black Panther''.
* LetsSplitUpGang: During the car chase in Busan, he orders his henchmen to split up in order to lose their pursuers, even saying this trope almost word-for-word.
-->'''Ulysses Klaue:''' Let's split up!
* MadeOfIron: A trait that's consistent in both of his appearances:
** In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Klaue gets his arm sliced off and receives a kick in the face by a metallic KillerRobot, causing him to fall off some stairs. And yet, he doesn't seem to be in such a bad shape after that.
** Likewise in ''[[Film/BlackPanther2018 his second movie]]'', despite being involved in a particularly brutal car accident and then getting beat up by the super-strong Black Panther, Klaue doesn't look like he has sustained any serious injuries. He even participates in a gunfight with Killmonger shortly afterwards, and doesn't appear to be impaired in the slightest.
* MadBomber: He's clearly a mad man who loves causing carnage and destructions, and he used bombs during his attack of Wakanda. This led to the deaths of numerous Wakandan citizens, including W'Kabi's parents.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He doesn't seem to be in that much pain after ''losing his left arm'', just irritated.
* MakeSomeNoise: He can use his ArmCannon to fire sonic blasts that are powerful enough to blow Vibranium cars to pieces.
* MakeWayForTheNewVillains: On the receiving end of this. Ulysses Klaue is a relatively important villain within the MCU, being introduced during [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron a Phase Two movie]], and later making a reappearance in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', in which the first part of the film seems to build him up as the greatest enemy that the titular hero must defeat. However, the movie also introduces new villain Erik Killmonger, who ends up killing Klaue midway through the film and taking his place as the main antagonist.
* MarkOfShame: He got [[http://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/File:Thief_Wakanda.png a Wakandan symbol]] that translates as a derogatory word for "Thief" branded on his neck when he got caught stealing a massive amount of Vibranium.
* MarqueeAlterEgo: In the comics, Klaw mostly appears as a being composed of solidified sound with a noticeably non-human look, while in the MCU he always has the ([[SerkisFolk surprisingly]]) very human appearance of Creator/AndySerkis.
* MexicanStandoff: Is involved in one at one point. When Erik tries to shoot him, Klaue takes Linda hostage and threatens to kill her, causing the two men to pause for a moment. Finally, Erik resolves the situation by simply [[ShootTheHostage shooting Linda himself]].
* MisplacedRetribution: After having his arm chopped off by Ultron, he gets so mad that he orders his henchmen to kill both Ultron and the Avengers, even though the latter have just arrived and have nothing to do with his injury. Granted, they are his enemies anyway since they are superheroes and he's a criminal, but this time they didn't even come for him.
* MythologyGag: He wears a necklace with a claw attached to it, which is both a pun on his name and a sign that he has had an encounter with T'Chaka.
** And of course, there's his SonicStunner ArmCannon mentioned above, though it's on his left arm rather than his right as in the comics.
** His insane singing and offhand mention of a mixtape may be a ''very'' subtle nod to his "made of sound" composition in the source material.
** His S.H.I.E.L.D. file mentions him being a former member of the Intelligencia, a supervillain group from the comics that Klaue was indeed involved with.
* NervesOfSteel: Nothing really fazes him. He is remarkably unafraid and unshaken by a visit from Ultron and the Maximoff twins, even offering the latter candy as if they were small children. He's also surprisingly collected after losing his arm, giving orders to his men to take out everyone that isn't on their side. Nor is he afraid of T'Challa, a man who has every reason to want him dead. In fact, he mocks him as Klaue is the only invader to find Wakanda and survive. Even his death doesn't distress him overly.
* NoodleIncident: It's never really explained how Klaue managed to acquire the Wakandan mining tool that he converted into his ArmCannon. When T'Challa and later Agent Ross try to interrogate him about it, he doesn't exactly give a clear answer.
* TheNoseKnows: Apparently, he knows Vibranium so well that he's able to recognize it by its smell, as seen when he sniffs the hammerhead to make sure it's Vibranium during the Museum robbery.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He can't keep his hands off Everett Ross during their conversation in the casino. Ross is visibly uncomfortable with this and eventually tells him to stop.
-->'''Everett Ross:''' That's enough.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Tells Everett Ross and later Erik that they are much more similar to him than to the Wakandans, therefore they shouldn't try to get involved with them.
* NotWearingTights: In both of his appearances he only wears normal clothes rather than something resembling his red supervillain "made of sound" look from the comics.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] during the robbery of the Museum of Great Britain. Klaue deliberately makes the crime scene more spread out and disorganized to make the authorities think they're dealing with amateurs.
* OhCrap: Has a notable one when he sees Okoye destroying one of his henchmen's cars with her spear.
-->'''Klaue:''' Oh shit!
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Even before his first on-screen appearance, Klaue had already met several major MCU characters at various points, including Tony Stark, Baron Strucker and the people from Wakanda. He later meets many others, such as Ultron, most of the Avengers, Erik "Killmonger" Stevens and Agent Everett Ross.
* OnlyAFleshWound: When he gets his arm cut off in ''Age of Ultron'', he seems more angry than really in pain, and continues giving orders to his henchmen.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: While he acts like a LargeHam throughout the movie, he's much more serious during the scene where he and Erik get into a gunfight.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: While Klaue is certainely a dangerous villain in his own right, when the Avengers get into his boat they don't even bother arresting him and instead concentrate their efforts on fighting Ultron and the Maximoffs, who are a much greater threat than him.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Subverted. He harbors a hatred for the people of Wakanda that surfaces on occasion, referring to them as savages, but it's a specific grudge against them due to the ItsPersonal nature of his feud with T'Challa and Wakanda. Also, for an old Afrikaner who grew up during Apartheid he's plenty tolerant -- his henchmen include men of African as well as European descent, he treats Erik as an equal partner in their operations and he doesn't appear to have a problem with black people in general. His dislike of the Wakandans comes from their culture rather than their race and the fact that they branded him, and he warns Killmonger that such "savages" would never accept "people like us" when telling Erik why going to Wakanda would be impossible, implicitly grouping himself and Erik together in contrast to the Wakandans.[[note]]He also always refers to Erik as an American, which he is, while in the real world racists from outside the USA are known to only think of white Americans as "real" Americans.[[/note]]
* PowerGlows: His sonic ArmCannon starts glowing every time he uses it to shoot energy waves.
* PsychopathicManchild: Not so much in ''Age of Ultron'', but definitely in ''Black Panther'', where he does everything he does with ''extremely'' childish glee.
* PutDownYourGunAndStepAway: When Erik tries to kill him, Klaue takes his girlfriend Linda hostage and orders him to drop his gun, or else he'll shoot her. However, [[TakeAThirdOption Erik chooses to shoot Linda himself instead]].
-->'''Klaue:''' Drop it! Or your little Bonnie-and-Clyde routine ends today! Put your gun down now!
* {{Retirony}}: Downplayed as he probably didn't really intend to put a definitive end to his criminal activities, but Klaue said he was planning to lay low for some time just before getting killed by Killmonger.
* RichesToRags: Implied. In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Ultron fills Klaue's bank account with billions of dollars in exchange for his supply of Vibranium. In ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'' however, we don't see any trace of that money, in fact Klaue's organzation even seems much smaller this time around, meaning that he probably lost it somehow between the two films.
* RiddleForTheAges: At some point, the Wakandans ''caught'' Klaue, as evidenced by the "thief" brand on his neck. Given that Killmonger kills him so as to exchange his corpse for passage into Wakanda, it's unlikely that story will ever be told.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: ''Within'' the MCU. He's first introduced as an antagonist to the Avengers in ''Age of Ultron'', but then antagonizes Black Panther completely separate from the Avengers. His comic counterpart is a Black Panther villain, but has fought the Avengers too.
* SanitySlippage: Not that Klaue was a pillar of sanity to begin with, but in the time between his encounter with Ultron and being hunted by Black Panther, he's lost his mind, acting less like the unfazed arms dealer he was and more like the PsychopathicManchild he's become.
* SeenItAll: The Maximoff Twins really don't faze him in the least; he indicates he at least knows of them through his association with Strucker. While he is freaked out by Ultron at first, he still takes the whole thing in stride, even trying to do regular business with an obvious murder-bot.
* SlasherSmile: He's a pretty happy guy, usually wearing a big horrific smile when committing vile acts.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Though he only appears for about five minutes in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Ulysses Klaue ends up leading Ultron to his vibranium stash — which becomes hugely important to the second half of the story.
* SmarterThanYouLook: In ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', Klaue can easily come across as little more than an unhinged and somewhat childish lunatic at first glance. In reality, he's much more clever than he lets on. He's a cunning strategist who managed to evade capture for years, he has a lot of knowledge about Wakanda and Vibranium, and he seems quite good with technology.
* SoleSurvivor: Countless mercenaries and treasure hunters have tried to get into Wakanda and were killed for their troubles... except for Klaue. This is something that really ''unnerves'' T'Challa and is a source of shame and concern for the Wakandans on the whole.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Klaue realizes that Ultron has some sort of connection to Tony Stark when Ultron uses a phrase Tony had said to Klaue in the past.
* SonicStunner: His prosthetic arm contains a sonic weapon capable of projecting powerful sound waves. Its effects are destructive enough to shatter glass, destroy furnitures, and even blow up ''vibranium cars''.
* StaircaseTumble: After being kicked by Ultron, Klaue falls down some stairs inside his boat.
* SuddenlyShouting: After talking in a normal voice during the majority of his scene in ''Age of Ultron'', he ends up yelling for his last words.
-->'''Klaue:''' Shoot them.
-->'''Klaue's Mercenary:''' Which ones?
-->'''Klaue:''' '''ALL OF THEM!!!'''
* SurroundedByIdiots: He calls his henchmen idiots for trying to shoot at a [[MadeOfIndestructium vibranium car]] with normal guns.
-->'''Klaue:''' It’s a vibranium car, you idiots!
* TakeMeToYourLeader: A variant. When he meets the Maximoffs twins, he refuses to make any business with them because he recognizes they are merely underlings, and tells them he will only make business with the "man in charge".
* TattooedCrook: He sports numerous tattoos, in addition of the neck brand that he got for stealing vibranium.
* TemptingFate: After angering Ultron by comparing him to Iron Man which cost him one of his arms. This would later happen again, but with Black Panther being the one Klaue angers.
* ThatOneCase: Not tracking Klaue down after his escape was T'Chaka's greatest regret, and is something of a general black mark for the entire country by extension. Killmonger uses his corpse as a bargaining tool to gain access to Wakanda.
* TookALevelInBadass: Although he was already a dangerous criminal in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', he was still a normal human being and was virtually helpless against actual superhumans. In ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'' on the other hand, he has become much more powerful thanks to the acquisition of a sonic ArmCannon, to the point he can easily blow up entire cars and give a hard time to the likes of Black Panther by himself.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: In ''Black Panther'' Klaue is noticeably more of a hyperactive, if not carnage-inflicting thrill-seeker and a party animal then his stoic debut appearance in the last movie.
* {{Troll}}: Klaue gets great pleasure out of screwing with both enemies and allies. When he meets Ross for a deal, he gets overly touchy with him just to make him uncomfortable and even pretends to expose himself before revealing he's actually just taking out the vibranium axehead.
* TrouserSpace: Where he hides the vibranium hammerhead. During his exchange with Ross in the casino, he unzips his crotch and takes it from his pants, saying he thought he'd save the money for a suitcase.
* UnknownRival: W'Kabi absolutely hates Klaue more than anyone else in the world [[YouKilledMyFather for causing the deaths of his parents]], but Klaue doesn't seem to be even aware of his existence.
* UnwittingPawn: Since the beginning of their partnership, Erik Killmonger was merely using Klaue as a pawn in his scheme to get into Wakanda, planning all along to eventually betray and kill him so that he can use his corpse as a present to the Wakandans.
* UtilityWeapon: His sonic weapon was originally a Wakandan mining tool which he subsequently made adjustments to.
* VillainExitStageLeft: Despite losing an arm, he manages to escape the events of ''Age of Ultron'' due to the Avengers being more focused on stopping Ultron than him, hence the fact that he's still at large when he reappears in ''Black Panther''.
* VillainHasAPoint: All the things he says about Wakanda pretending to be something they're not are entirely true, and he's not wrong when he points out T'Challa and his friends are lying to Ross.
* VillainOfAnotherStory: In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Klaue is only a minor antagonist that the titular heroes don't even bother to arrest, but it's established that he had some history with the people from Wakanda, namely that he stole a large amount of vibranium from them in the past. We learn more about it when he reappears as a major villain in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''.
* VillainRevealsTheSecret: During his interrogation scene, he reveals to Agent Ross the truth about Wakanda and the amount of Vibranium that is really in their possession.
* VillainTeamUp: He has been affiliated with several other MCU villains, including N’Jobu, Baron Strucker, Ultron (briefly) and Erik Killmonger.
* VillainsNeverLie: Despite T'Challa's claim that the words of a criminal cannot be trusted, Klaue tells nothing but the truth to Agent Ross during his interrogation.
* VillainsWantMercy: Played With. He loudly begs for mercy when T'Challa apprehends him in the streets of Busan, however he does it in such a ridiculous manner that it's obvious he did it to make T'Challa look bad rather than out of cowardice.
-->'''Klaue:''' Oh mercy, King! Mercy!
* WasntThatFun: He can even find some dangerous situations absolutely hilarious. After escaping from T'Challa's attack in the Korean casino thanks to his ArmCannon, he gleefully shouts "That was awesome!".
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Klaue denies Killmonger's right to go to Wakanda.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: During the museum robbery in ''Black Panther'' he pretends to allow one of the guards to leave, then shoots him InTheBack before he can get away. When Killmonger [[LampshadeHanging asks why he bothered]], Klaue explains that [[JustifiedTrope it makes the hit look like an amateur robbery, allowing them to cover their tracks]].
* WouldHitAGirl: During the heist of the Museum of Great Britain, one of his victims is the female director of the museum. In addition, he has no qualms about shooting at Okoye and Nakia with his ArmCannon, or taking Linda hostage and threatening to kill her.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: After T'Challa causes the crash of his car, tears off his prosthetic arm and violently manhandles him, Klaue starts begging for his life in a particularly pathetic way in front of witnesses, in order to paint himself as the victim.
* YankTheDogsChain: He lets one of the museum guards go before shooting him in the back of the head.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Killmonger disposes of him as part of the next step to his plan.
* YouKilledMyFather:
** A subtle example can be found [[FreezeFrameBonus if you look closely]] at [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/0/09/Klaue_SHIELD_File.png/revision/latest?cb=20171102095536 the dossier]] the Avengers have on him. The document mentions that he bears a grudge against the Wakandan royal family because his great-grandfather was killed by a past Black Panther during the 19th century. He was also hired to kill T'Chaka during the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group Bilderberg conference]] if he wouldn't start trading Vibranium.
** In addition, while Klaue didn't kill T'Chaka in this version, he did cause the deaths of W'Kabi's parents during his attack of Wakanda, causing him to hate his guts and want to make him pay.
* YouRemindMeOfX:
** In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Klaue makes the mistake of comparing Ultron to Tony Stark after hearing him say a phrase that Tony has used during their last meeting. [[BerserkButton Ultron doesn’t take it well, to say the least…]]
** When he first meets T'Challa in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', Klaue tells him that he's very similar to his late father.
-->'''Klaue:''' You know, you look just like your old man.
* YouWillBeSpared: Subverted during the raid on the Museum of Great Britain. Klaue and his henchmen have finished gunning down all the security personnel present when the former gives the last surviving member the opportunity to run, then shoots him when his back is turned in a display of pragmatism. Leaving the corpses more spread out apparently makes it resemble the work of amateurs.
* YoureInsane: He calls Erik "crazy" on several occasions, especially for wanting to go to Wakanda.
-->'''Ulysses Klaue:''' You're crazy to think that you can just walk in there.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: When we're shown a hologram of Ulysses Klaue during his attack of Wakanda in 1989, he doesn't really look much different than he is in present day, even though he's supposed to be almost 30 years younger.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KenMarino

The volatile leader of the Los Angeles Maggia in the 1940s, that Whitney Frost turns to for help.

* AffablyEvil: The guy is quite charming and polite for a mobster.
* AgeLift: He's a present-day character in the comics.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: In his first scene, Manfredi demonstrates why none of his men dare turn against him, because he can easily smash their faces in himself.
* BadBoss: He beats one of his henchman almost to death for an imagined slight.
* BadassInCharge: You have to be a badass to rise to become the leader of a crime syndicate.
* ChildhoodFriend: To Howard Stark, much to Peggy's surprise.
* 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]].
* TheDon: He's the leader of the Maggia in Los Angeles during the 1940s
* TheDragon: After Whitney takes over the Council, Manfredi becomes her most trusted enforcer. On terms of authority, he's CoDragons with Vernon Masters, due to the latter's position in the U.S. government.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He considers that delivering a [[CurbStompBattle vicious beatdown]] is an appropriate response for staring at his guests.
* EnemyMine: When it becomes clear after a series of incidents that Whitney is [[SanitySlippage no longer]] the woman he fell in love with mostly because all she appears to care about is opening another rift and doesn't stop working even to eat or sleep he comes to Peggy and Co. for help.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first appearance consists of him making Calvin Chadwick uncomfortable with a threat before claiming he was joking, casually flirting with Whitney and discussing the wedding gift he sent her, and then [[MakeanExampleOfThem beating one of his own men]] into unconsciousness for merely looking at the old girlfriend he is supposedly over.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Or at least his grandmother, whom he genuinely loves.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In Season 2 finale, he tells his grandmother that yes, he truly loves Whitney.
* FauxAffablyEvil: It's never clear when he's sincerely friendly, as he can flip from charming to monstrous in an instant.
* HairTriggerTemper: Flies into a volcanic rage and beats one of his own men to a pulp with his bare hands ''for looking at Whitney too long''. Also, we don't see it, but it is mentioned that on the day Whitney dumped him for Calvin Chadwick, he reacted by murdering six random criminals at a card game.
* HostageSituation: He holds Jarvis at gunpoint to get through Howard Stark's mansion and has everyone on edge - until it is revealed that he and Howard are old friends, and he was just messing around. Er...probably, anyway.
* InNameOnly[=/=]AdaptedOut: In the comics, he is a bat trainer and thus has natural ability to control bats without superpowers. In the TV series, he hasn't shown any of them, not even any [[AnimalMotifs motifs]] about bats.
* LaughablyEvil: An unrepentent yet affable Mafia don full of BlackComedy.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: He beats the hell out of one of his underlings until his knuckles are bloody.
* NoodleIncident: They didn't go into much detail about his past which is kind of a shame, because it apparently included such delightful occurrences as nearly getting thrown off a bridge by an old girlfriend, and Howard Stark stealing his underwear.
* OldFlame: He and Whitney used to date. He claims to have moved on, but a few minutes later he viciously beats a man because he looked at her for too long.
* SharpDressedMan: As is usual for a 40s gangster, he wears slick suits.
* UndyingLoyalty: He seems to be utterly devoted to Whitney despite her leaving him and marrying another man. As a 1940s macho Italian mobster, one would expect him to balk at taking orders from a woman but he accepts Whitney's authority without question. He is the only character not freaked out by Whitney's transformation, finding her perfect the way she is.

!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' [=DeVaughn=] Nixon
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''{{Series/Runaways|2017}}''

A leader of the Crips and former cellmate, and friend turned enemy of Geoffrey Wilder.

* AffablyEvil: Despite being a criminal, he is incredibly easy-going and outright jovial to have around.
* BeardOfEvil: He's a murderous gang leader with a thick dark beard.
* DragonAscendant: He rose to leadership after Geoffrey Wilder left the gang.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Has a grandmother whom he loves and worries about. Geoffrey threatens her to get Darius to stop encroaching in the PRIDE digging site. He also has a pregnant girlfriend named Tamar who is expecting his child.
* EvilFormerFriend: Subverted as both Geoffrey and Darius are different shades of evil. Darius comes across more sympathetic when you realize Geoffrey abandoned him him after he took the fall for his early release.
* FalseConfession: He confessed to a murder committed by Geoffrey to ensure Geoffrey's release from prison and the latter's deal with Jonah.
* FrameUp: Catherine murders him and frames him for Destiny Gonzales' murder.
* GangBangers: Took over Geoffrey's old LA gang once he got into the real estate business.
* NothingPersonal: He takes a genuine liking to Alex and apologizes to him when he sells him out to his father.
* ParentalSubstitute: He briefly takes Alex under his wing and shows him how is the life of working-class African American.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Repeatedly mentions how Geoffrey working for "white folks"... despite Geoffrey's "new friends" also include Asian, Jewish, and (formerly) Latin people. And the fact that he makes a big deal if Geoffrey actually worked with white people.
* ScaryBlackMan: He's a Crip.
* StarterVillain: He's the first antagonist the Runaways confront as a group.
* TattooedCrook: Notably, the Crips tattoo on his neck, the tear below his left eye and the crossed scratches below his right one.
* {{Troll}}: In exchange for supplying Alex with money, he briefly implies that he wants Alex to do something illegal. He was just screwing with Alex; what he actually wants Alex to do is paint the nursery for his future child.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Formerly close friends with Geoffrey.
* WouldHurtAChild: Has no qualms with kidnapping and threatening to shoot Alex to get back at Geoffrey. Darius also shoots at the Runaways when they confront him.
* WrongGenreSavvy:
** As far as Darius is concerned, he just wants the money that Geoffrey promised when he confessed to a murder committed by Geoffrey and he thought he could get it by bullying Wilders employee in the construction site. He absolutely had no idea that his former friend has become a member of murderous cult and unwilling pawn of a HumanoidAbomination, that essentially stresses Geoffrey out which may contribute to his annoyance on Darius' insistence to get paid (which can also be considered BullyingADragon to a degree). This attitude indirectly gets [[spoiler:Andre]] killed by PRIDE.
** He also kidnapped Alex without knowing that Alex's friends either have superpowers or high-tech weapon. All this makes him hilariously outclassed.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/WaltonGoggins
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp''

A genteel but menacing arms and black market dealer.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/5/57/Sonny_Burch_%28Earth-616%29_from_Iron_Man_Vol_3_76_0001.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150422091546 His comics counterpart is a fat man with ugly glasses]]. The MCU version is played by Creator/WaltonGoggins, who in comparison is much more attractive.
* ArmsDealer: A prolific dealer in illegal tech and weaponry.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When under the influence of TruthSerum, he and his henchmen confess to trafficking in stolen technology, killing many people, and committing numerous health code violations at his restaurant.
* BigBadEnsemble: Alongside Ghost, he's one of the main villains of ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp''.
* BigBadWannabe: Established very early on when Wasp completely floors him and all of his goons by herself. He's a SmugSnake who thinks he's bigger than he actually is, and overall is less of a direct threat than Ghost.
* ButtMonkey: Whether it's by Wasp, Ghost, Luis, Ant-Man or whatever, Sonny is a guy with a streak of bad luck and tends to be made a fool of. [[LaserGuidedKarma Not that it's unearned]].
* CardCarryingVillain: Unlike [[AntiVillain Ghost]], he makes no bones about the fact that he's a criminal with no-one's best interest at heart. He wants Pym's technology to cash in on the next big thing, no matter what the consequences are.
* ChurchOfHappyology: In a deleted scene, Burch asks for a first edition copy of Dianetics.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Ant-Man's previous villain, Darren Cross. Both Cross and Burch wanted to get rich by selling Hank Pym's technology to evil organizations. Cross had the resources and the brains to recreate the technology, which Hank and Hope saw as a GodzillaThreshold, forcing them to assemble a RagtagBunchOfMisfits to stop him. Burch's only hope of getting the technology is to steal it from Hank and Hope, who see him as more of an annoyance than a threat.
* CorruptHick: Has a Southern accent courtesy of Creator/WaltonGoggins and is a powerful ArmsDealer.
* {{Determinator}}: For all of his ineffectiveness, you gotta give the guy credit for being ''extremely'' persistent.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: A lot of his henchmen are from different races like white, black, Latino, south Asian and east Asian.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He is convinced that quantum energy is the next big thing, and only cares about the money that will be involved therein. When Hope tells him she doesn't want to be in business with him, he assumes that she's got someone else to cash out to rather than possibly concluding that the daughter of Hank Pym and ally of Ant-Man has a non-monetary motive.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts all calm and collected, even to his enemies as he's casually threatening them.
* {{Foil}}: To [[BigBadEnsemble co-antagonist]] Ghost. Sonny Burch is an older white man that has little-to-no sympathetic qualities while acting FauxAffablyEvil, doesn't do any of the fighting and instead [[ZergRush sends his minions to do all the dirty work]], and is chasing after what he knows will be the next gold rush. In contrast, Ghost is a young black woman who's an AntiVillain at worst, does all the fighting herself without any minions, and is merely looking out for her own survival.
* GenreBlind: While he'd be a decent enough threat in a normal, mundane setting, the fact is that being an unpowered, non-combative black market dealer with resources, money, manpower and connections to the FBI can only get you so far in a setting like the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. When your opponents consists of two size-shifters more than capable of fighting and commanding an army of insects, the premier ScienceHero who fathered one and mentored the other, and a ghostly woman capable of foiling your schemes with little effort, he might've been better trying his efforts somewhere else. Despite being clearly overmatched on all fronts, Burch still continues to try to keep up with them out of a misguided sense that he can handle it, [[ButtMonkey which constantly backfires in his face in spectacular fashion]].
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Not that sympathetic, since he's the only character in the film that's truly evil. In another setting, he'd be ''very'' menacing as a fearsome ArmsDealer. In a {{Superhero}} setting, one that's a comedy no less, the guy simply ''cannot'' catch a break as all his attempts to get Pym's tech are foiled by Ghost (who isn't really even trying), and the one time he ''does'' get it he gets foiled by Scott who literally flicks him with his finger.
* InsistentTerminology: Sonny and his men insist that the chemical he uses to make people tell the truth is not, in fact, a TruthSerum. It just happens to behave like that. [[BrickJoke After being forced to confess to the police by it, they finally admit that it is actually a truth serum]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: All the bad things that happen to him stem from his own attempts to make himself richer. And in the end, he's ultimately done in by the same TruthSerum he forces on others.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: He very much enjoys the finer things in life, from his expensive suit to his [[JiveTurkey pimped out SUV]]. When his men battle Hope at his restaurant, he completely loses his shit when his own men end up shooting up his turn-of-the-century chandelier.
* NoDelaysForTheWicked: When he gets his hands on Hank's lab in the climax of ''Ant-Man and the Wasp'', he flees on a ferry.
-->'''Scott:''' [[LampshadeHanging How did he even have time to buy a ticket?!]]
* NoHonorAmongThieves: While Hope honors her side of the deal, bringing in the amount of money he asked for in exchange for the part of the Quantum Tunnel she asked for, Sonny makes it clear to her that he knows who she is and decides to [[MovingTheGoalposts alter the deal]] and [[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord have her work for him under threat of blackmail]]. When she refuses, he keeps both the money and the tech as "compensation", forcing Hope to take the tech by force via her Wasp suit.
* NonActionBigBad: While part of the BigBadEnsemble, he doesn't take part in the fighting itself. Instead, he sends his men after his opponents.
* NotSoStoic: Rarely does he truly get angry, keeping a façade of calmness and good will. However, when Luis finds a loophole in the TruthSerum to tell him about Scott and giving him the life story of how they met as opposed to telling him where he's actually at, Burch makes his demands ''very clear''. Like everyone else, he also utterly freaks out when Ghost chooses that moment to pull a JumpScare on everyone.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: A black market arms dealer might have made for a menacing villain in a different context, but he's no match for the powered opponents he faces here. When he arrives to take the lab from Hope, her reaction is less a worried OhCrap, and more of an exasperated NotAgain.
* PetTheDog: While Burch is ''far'' less sympathetic than Bill and Ava, even he comes across as far less cold-blooded than the average MCU villain; allowing Hope to walk away at the beginning after making it clear that they're enemies, leaving Luis and the others alive (and not even tied up) after finding out from them where Scott is, and driving around Hope when she's been knocked out and is lying in the street instead of trying to run her down.
* PutOnAPrisonBus: Burch and his associates are last seen being arrested by the FBI.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: A minor Iron Man foe in the comics, but part of the ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'''s BigBadEnsemble with no connection to Stark.
* SmugSnake: A savvy businessman in the illegal black market no doubt, but he thinks he's much greater as a villain than he actually is.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the comics, Sonny was an extremely minor foe of ComicBook/IronMan who ultimately died. His movie counterpart survives, but is made to pay for his crimes nonetheless.
* SuperheroMovieVillainsDie: Averted, though he does get apprehended for his crimes.
* VillainousCrush: Sonny seems at first to have a thing for "Susan", putting on a show of good-ol'-boy charm in front of his staff; even after he reveals he knows who Hope is, he doesn't let up, acting like a jilted lover and claiming he's keeping her money as compensation for his "hurt feelings". Whether it's genuine in any way or just a means of intimidating her is uncertain.
* ZergRush: How he poses a threat. Whereas Ghost is a OneWomanArmy, Burch has many men at his disposal to go after any target, [[NonActionBigBad making up for his own lack of fighting ability]].

A street-smart grifter with a mysterious past that has a chance encounter with Frank Castle aka The Punisher.

* AbledInTheAdaptation: Her comic counterpart had an unspecified intellectual disability, which she shows no signs of having in the show.
* ActionSurvivor: Although she's part of the criminal underworld, she has no combat skills and relies on Frank to save her during shootouts. She's taught how to disarm opponents and shoot people, and it has its uses, but she's still generally poor at combat.
* BadLiar: She's not very good at hiding the fact of why people are after her. This seems to only be limited to when she's nervous, as when she's lying about anything else, she's really, ''really'' good at manipulating people.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: It doesn't matter how much hell she goes through, her hair will always look ''fabulous''.
* CommonalityConnection: Connects with Frank over losing everyone she cares about to crime.
* ConMan: Amy knows how to work a scam, such as three-card monte and is able to lie her ass off effortlessly. [[BadLiar Most of the time anyway]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Every other word out of her mouth is sarcasm. Usually directed at Frank.
* DoomMagnet: Chaos seems to follow her. The fact that she's with [[OneManArmy Frank Castle]] doesn't really help, though. [[spoiler:Likely because she and her friends took photos of Senator David Schultz, the gay son of famous evangelicals who was photographed in a compromising position, and said evangelicals have powerful friends who want the photos back by any means necessary, just so that their son can move up the political ladder.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Frank Castle. They're both messed up from losing everyone they ever cared about, but it's affected them in opposite ways, turning him into a BloodKnight and her into a DirtyCoward. That gives them plenty of opportunities to criticise each other's approach.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Doesn't like to swear, for whatever reason. Calls Frank an "a-hole", says "Oh S-H-1-T" when surprised, things like that. Emphasizes how young and relatively innocent she is.
* IHaveManyNames: When Amy meets up with Frank, she uses the name of Rachel. The Larkville police find out she used the names of Stephanie, Peggy, and Susan as her aliases.
* KidSidekick: Of a sort to Frank in Season 2 of ''The Punisher'', but mostly a TagalongKid in practice.
* LittleMissBadass: Amy's only 16 years old, but she has the same street toughness, and with some proper training by Frank, it allows her to able to take down grown men if needed. Even with a shotgun.
* MasterOfDisguise: Befitting her [[IHaveManyNames many aliases]] and function as a ConMan, Amy is very good at quick disguises. For example, she can switch from the look of a waitress to that of a schoolgirl while walking, without breaking stride, ''while being followed'' in "Nakazat".
* ReplacementGoldfish: Over the course of their time together Castle seems to come to regard her as one for his dead daughter, Lisa. Made all the more obvious when Frank muses that Lisa would've been 15 if she were still alive.
* ShipperOnDeck: She apparently ships Frank and Karen when the latter visits the former at the hospital, perhaps jokingly.
--> '''Amy:''' You guys are the cutest. I'm almost jealous.
* StickyFingers: Immediately swipes Madani's credit card and goes on a shopping spree.
* TookALevelInBadass: Thanks to help from Frank, of course, but she also took a damn lot of her own initiative, such that by the end of the second season of Punisher she's doing shit it never would have occurred to her to try at the start... and succeeding.
* {{Tsundere}}: As snarky as she is with Frank, it's clear that she grows quite attached to him as the season progresses.

* EvilBrit: A criminal with a strong London accent.

->''"I did what no other scientist since Erskine was able to do, but mine...was going to be different."''

A former HYDRA and CIA scientist who was able to recreate the super-soldier serum. He was one of the victims of the Snap and restored by the Blip, after which he was recruited by the Power Broker.

* AgeLift: In the comics, he was a scientist during WWII, while his counterpart in ''The Falcon and the Winter Soldier'' is considerably younger.
* AMFMCharacterization: As Zemo, Sam and Bucky are sneaking into his lab to confront Nagel, he is shown listening to "Comin' Home Baby" by Mel Mel Torme on vinyl.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He was such a loathsome human being that his death amounted to nothing more than a small monetary loss for Sharon. Even Sam and Bucky half-heartedly chastised Zemo only for about a minute - minute and a half - for killing him, and only because they thought he still might have shared some useful information, and not because it was morally wrong.]]
* BoxedCrook: He used to work for HYDRA, but after the organization was dissolved, the CIA recruited him for a new super-soldier serum project.
* CreepyMonotone: Speaks with an unnervingly quiet, emotionless voice.
* {{Expy}}: To Dr. Karl Malus, the Power Broker's usual MadScientist employee, who has already been used on ''Series/{{Jessica Jones|2015}}''.
* ForScience: Although he originally worked for HYDRA, he seems less interested in their ideology than in the personal gratification he derives from his scientific work, as he is perfectly willing to offer his services to both the CIA and the Power Broker as long as they fund his research.
* AGodAmI: Outright declares himself as a god for being the only scientist since Dr. Erskine to successfully recreate the super-soldier serum without any adverse side-effects.
* InformedAbility: Nagel proclaims that his serum is better than that of Erskine's. However, the Flag Smashers who took his serum are noticeably weaker than Steve Rogers as they fail to survive attacks that Steve Rogers could. Whereas Steve has survived being shot by plasma rounds and being struck by super power beings stronger than him, a simple pistol is all it takes to kill one of the Flag Smasher.
* MadScientist: He's completely unconcerned about the ethical implications of his work and openly brags about perfecting the super-soldier serum with data from illegal experiments on humans.
* NoSocialSkills: Nagel is clearly not used to conversing with people, as shown when Sam and Bucky are grilling him in his secret lab.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Once he has told Bucky, Sam and Zemo everything they need to know about the new super-soldier serum, Zemo shoots him dead without hesitation to prevent the creation of more serum. In retrospect, the very fact that Sharon, the Power Broker, willingly led Sam and Zemo to him meant either a) she was willing to lose her "golden goose" of Super Soldier serum just to keep the trust of Sam and Bucky, or b) she did not expect Zemo to be an anti-super soldier obsessive, and losing Nagel and the Super Soldier serum was [[IndyPloy a serious setback that she had to build on]] by leaning closer to Sam's promise of a pardon]].

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Attempted. In an attempt to get Ronin to back off from his line of reasoning, he invokes the following question and tries to point out that ''he wasn't responsible for killing half the life on the planet, including his family''. Still doesn't work, though.
-->'''Ronin:''' You're done hurting people.\\
'''Akihiko:''' ''WE'' hurt people?! You're crazy!
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Downplayed; he lasts much longer and is more skilled than his Mooks against Ronin, but he fights against ''Ronin'' here, which isn't saying much for him.
* BadassNormal: Again downplayed. He can go toe to toe with the remorseless Ronin, but he is eventually overwhelmed.
* BeardOfEvil: A bearded Yakuza boss.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: He wields one, as befits as Japanese fighter, and is pretty formidable, but is quickly outclassed.
* MasterSwordsman: Implied. While Akihiko only has a limited amount of screentime, he was able to briefly hold his own against ''Ronin'' with his katana, where all of his [[{{Mooks}} henchmen]] ends up dead in a few seconds.
* SharpDressedMan: As befitting a high-ranking Yakuza, he wears a sharp suit.
* ShutUpKirk: Attempted twice, including the ArmorPiercingQuestion above. But Ronin still won't change his mind.
-->'''Akihiko:''' We never did anything to ''you''!\\
'''Ronin:''' You survived... Half the planet didn't. They got Thanos... You get me.
* SlashedThroat: He suffers one against Ronin, but it's [[SubvertedTrope not what kills him]]. It's the simple stab that does him in afterward.
* VillainsWantMercy: He begs for his life when fighting Ronin.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Gets killed off in the same scene he’s introduced in.
* {{Yakuza}}: He's a member of a Yakuza syndicate in a high position of authority.

[[folder:In General]]
!!''The Iron Gang''
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings''

A Triad whom Wenwu, the leader of the Ten Rings Army, decimated before he disbanded his empire to live a life of peace with his wife Yi-Ling, their children Shang-Chi and Xialing. Their [[spoiler: revenge murder of Yi-Ling prompted Wen Wu to reform the Ten Rings Army anew, with far-reaching impacts that ultimately saves the universe from Thanos]].

* CanonForeigner: There is no criminal organization called "Iron Gang" in Marvel comics, they were created for the movie. That being said, their name could be a reference to "ComicBook/IronMan", the true nemesis of the Mandarin in the comics.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When they came seeking revenge for Wenwu decimating their ranks, Ying Li asks that her children be spared, a request that the leading thug graciously accepts.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: By 2007, Wenwu had all but disbanded the Ten Rings, content to live a mortal life with the love of his life Ying Li as an honest man, raising a happy family. Had the survivors of The Iron Gang, [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs a petty triad cell]] that he once decimated, not come seeking revenge by beating Ying Li to death in front of their children, Wenwu would not have re-forged his criminal empire in grief fueled vengeance. One year later in 2008, there would have been no Ten Rings Army to kidnap Tony Stark on his fateful weapon's demonstration in Afghanistan, tossing him in a cave with a box of scraps, and Film/IronMan would never have come to be. [[Film/AvengersEndgame And no one would be there to stop Thanos' genocide of half of all life.]] Tragic though it may be, Ying Li's murder at the hands of the Iron Gang is the very catalyst that inadvertently saved The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse]].
* SmallRoleBigImpact: The Iron Gang was [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs just another petty ring of loan sharks and meth-pushers you would find in any gambling house in China or Hong Kong.]] Though vicious, compared to the likes of Hydra, the Chitauri and the Red Room, they are ''nobodies'' in the grand scheme of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. And yet [[spoiler: their revenge killing of Ying Li, Wenwu's wife, was the inadvertent catalyst that saved the universe from Thanos]]. See NiceJobFixingItVillain for more details.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: The iron Gang is a Chinese crime syndicate.
* WouldHitAGirl: They are the men who murdered Ying Li, the mother of Shang-Chi and Xialing.
* WouldNotHurtAChild: The only redeeming quality they display in the short time they were onscreen.

!!''Iron Gang Leader''

!!!'''Citizenship:''' Chinese
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Raymond Ma
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings''

The leader of the Iron Gang.

* CreateYourOwnHero: His decision to spare Shang-Chi after murdering his mother Ying Li is directly responsible for turning the little boy into the Assassin who slew him in return 7 years later, and possibly the greatest human warrior of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse another 10 years after that.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He graciously agrees with Ying Li that Shang-Chi and Xialing will be spared from his vendetta on the account that ChildrenAreInnocent, no matter who their parents are. This comes back to haunt him 7 years later when Shang-Chi lives, trained by the greatest warriors in the world, to avenge his mother.
* NoNameGiven: His name is not known, he is only credited as "Iron Gang Leader".
* KilledOffscreen: We don't actually see Shang-Chi kill him, but he reveals to Katy that he has done it.
* PetTheDog: He accepts Ying Li's request to let her children leave without harming them.
* PosthumousCharacter: He's already dead during the events of the film and only appears during flashbacks.
* RevengeByProxy: He targets Ying Li as revenge for her husband Xu Wenwu's crimes towards his organization.
* WouldNotHurtAChild: As much as he hates Wenwu for decimating his organization, even he believes his nemesis' ChildrenAreInnocent and should ''never'' come to harm.
* YouKilledMyMother: Shang-Chi found him and killed him for having ordered the death of his mother several years ago.

The other mercenaries working for Crossbones.

* BoomHeadshot: The last of them gets shot in the head by Black Widow.
* BulletproofHumanShield: A variant. Black widow uses the body of one of them to protect herself from a grenade explosion.
* CarCushion: One of the Mercs gets shot by Falcon and falls off the roof onto the top of a truck, smashing it.
* DeadlyGas: They launch some poisonous gas into the Institute For Infectious Diseases facility before raiding it, causing the deaths of many employees.
* DeathFromAbove: One of them gets crushed against a car when Captain America falls on him from the sky. Later, a few others are killed by Falcon after he directed his missiles to rain on them.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Their trucks keep bumping into cars and other stuffs as they drive through Lagos. In fact, this seems to be what made Captain America able to identify them on the spot.
* EvilWearsBlack: They all wear dark clothes and equipment, which serve to indicate they are the bad guys.
* FacelessGoons: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]. They were all wearing [[GasMaskMooks gas masks]] and protective helmets that concealed their faces during the attack of the IFID facility, but a few moments later the remaining mercenaries ditch their equipment and expose their faces while trying to blend in with the crowd of the market place to escape from the Avengers.
* GasMaskMooks: Most of them are wearing gas masks during their attack of the IFID facility to protect themselves from the DeadlyGas that they are using.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: One of the mercenaries gets poisoned by their own gas when Captain America forcibly removes his gas mask before kicking him down.
* LetsSplitUpGang: At the marketplace, the last four mercenaries separate from Crossbones and split in two separate directions in an attempt to evade the Avengers.
-->'''Falcon:''' I got four, they're splitting up!
* MexicanStandoff: At one point during the fight in the Lagos marketplace, both Black Widow and one of the Hero Mercs draws their guns at each other at the same time, causing a stalemate. Complicating things even more, another Hero Merc tries to force the heroine to surrender by threatening to use the bioweapon to kill everybody in the vicinity. Black Widow actually seems to consider it, but [[AttackDrone Redwing]] thankfully solves everything by shooting the Merc holding the bioweapon InTheBack, which distracts the other one and allows Black Widow to fire at him.
* MobstacleCourse: When they flee from the Avengers, they have to run through a crowded market and push quite a few bystanders on their ways.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Crossbones has no problem with sacrificing two of them in an attempt to kill Black Widow with a grenade.
* WouldHitAGirl: Many of them try to kill Wanda and Black Widow during the fight in Lagos.
