History Characters / MCUNewAvengers

* AesopCollateralDamage: Her character arc is to learn a lesson about revenge and whom the real bad guys are. The only problem is that she learns this lesson ''after'' unleashing a PersonOfMassDestruction on an entire city and being herself ultimately responsible for creating the BigBad. She learned her lesson by the films' end, but a ''lot'' of innocent people either died or had everything taken from them. [[spoiler:And if you consider Pietro's death to be part of her punishment, that counts as well.]]

* AdaptedOut: In the comics, her father is ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, and she's a mutant. Because Fox owns the rights to the X-Men franchise as far as the films are concerned, they can't mention this or really bring it up. [[RetCanon Conveniently]], it was revealed [[ComicBook/{{AXIS}} in the comics]] that neither she nor Quicksilver are related to Magneto a while before the film was released. She and her brother are also not mutants in this universe, rather, since their powers come from experiments with the Chitauri Scepter, they're Enhanced, or empowered humans.

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She's generally detached.

* AngstNuke: [[spoiler:After she feels her brother die]], she lets out a powerful burst of her powers, destroying all the Ultron Drones surrounding her, [[spoiler:save one that barely survived]].
* AngstySurvivingTwin: [[spoiler:She mentions to Ultron that she also felt like she had "died" following Pietro's death.]]

* TheAtoner: She's hit hard by her attempt to contain Crossbones' suicide explosion in Lagos, which ended up causing a number of casualties in a nearby building.

* CivvieSpandex: Wears at least 3 red-and-black battle outfits throughout the movie: a black dress with a red shawl, a red dress with a black jacket and her main promotional costume: a black dress with a red jacket. Justified, since the Twins are poor street urchins who steal whatever clothes they can find to form outfits. [[spoiler:Also, they don't join the Avengers until halfway into the movie, when the team would be busy dealing with Ultron. She ends the movie wearing a [[SpandexLatexOrLeather leather uniform]], a red top with dark pants reminiscent of her Ultimate Marvel outfit, but with a long jacket over it like in Uncanny Avengers.]]

* CompositeCharacter:
** Her powers in the movie are nothing like the probability alteration/reality warping she has in the comics, instead she has telekinesis and telepathy just like her first main enemy, the ComicBook/XMen's Jean Grey. This simplification is justified given her origin in this universe. Many of her probability spells have telekinetic effects, and in contemporary comics she wields magical energy as if it were a generic beam. (It also helps that, as noted, Jean is unlikely to ''appear'' in the MCU, so there's no worry of power overlap.)
** Her attire appears to be at least inspired in part by the Scarlet Witch from ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', particularly the presence of the red coat. She wears her hair long and has none of that Scarlet Witch's gothic accessories, though.
* CuteWitch: She's a witch (technically a girl enhanced by an alien artifact to use hexes) and she's cute (technically a pretty young woman with baby face and sometime childlike behavior).
* DespairEventHorizon: She crosses it after [[spoiler:Pietro is killed]]. Luckily, she's shown to have snapped out of it by the end [[spoiler:(if her spot on the New Avengers is of any indication)]].

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has pale skin, long dark hair and magical powers, which she uses to invoke StringyHairedGhostGirl. The former may be effects of being imprisoned. [[spoiler:She's looking a decent bit more healthy at the end, to boot.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She starts out as an antagonist who thinks nothing of sending [[PersonOfMassDestruction The Hulk]] on a rampage, putting innocent lives at risk in pursuit of her revenge on Tony. However, when she realizes what Ultron is planning, she is horrified by it and joins The Avengers to stop it.

* ForgotAboutHerPowers: [[spoiler:In ''Civil War'', her telepathic powers are never mentioned or used]].
* GlassCannon: One of the most powerful of the Avengers and her powers have many and varied uses, but she can't take a hit as well as most of the others.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Her eyes glow red when she uses her power.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:At the end she switches into her new Avengers uniform and is sporting a sleek red and black outfit with her hair styled in a lighter shade with curls.]]
* GothGirlsKnowMagic: She's an angry young woman, her wardrobe is quite gothic with a preference for the color black and use of high socks and combat boots, and her appearance is reminiscent of a StringyHairedGhostGirl. She can cast "spells" that are destructive hex bolts.
* GuiltByAssociation: The only one of the Avengers she and Pietro hates is Iron Man/Tony Stark. The rest she has no qualms hurting due to this trope. [[spoiler:She stops all her hate when she becomes an Avenger.]]

* HairContrastDuo: The AloofDarkHairedGirl to the light-haired HotBlooded Pietro.
* HeelFaceTurn: After reading Vision's body's mind while Ultron is BrainUploading himself into it, she finds out his plan to annihilate mankind, and quickly changes sides with her brother.

* HotWitch: Though not portrayed as ugly in the source material, here she's played by the attractive Ms. Olsen, and her wardrobe helps to emphasize this.

* JerkassHasAPoint: She warns Captain America that Tony Stark [[WellIntentionedExtremist will do anything, no matter how dangerous it is, to make the world a better place]]. She's proven wrong about The Vision but she's right by the time of ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: Her magic abilities manifest as dark red energy bolts, with hugely destructive effects both physically (telekinesis) and psychically (telepathy). Even in close-combat situations, she relies on her superpowers rather than physical skill. Her combat outfits are also more feminine in appearance compared to fellow Avenger Black Widow's, with a fondness for dresses and fashionable jackets, and she usually carries herself with a calm, contemplative demeanour.
* KarmaHoudini: As mentioned under "Aesop Collateral Damage". While she does understand that hexing Hulk was wrong, she never has to face any direct retribution for the deaths she caused by brainwashing Bruce Banner.
* MagicalGesture: She uses the standard mage hand gestures when casting her "spells".
* WomanChild: Her cameo in ''The Winter Soldier'' shows her levitating toy blocks with a look of childlike fascination on her face... before she telekinetically blows them apart. Curiously, she's quite a bit more down to earth for most of her debut film.

* MindOverMatter: The ability she first demonstrates in Strucker's prison during TheStinger of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''. [[spoiler:It also turns out to be the one thing that [[{{Unobtanium}} vibranium]] as armor ''can't'' protect against, as she could tear open Ultron's vibranium shell to [[AndShowItToYou show Ultron what it felt like when she felt her brother die.]]]]

* MostCommonSuperpower: As of ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', her costume seems to emphasize this fact, and shows off her cleavage.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** Wanda has a mini-freakout after being surrounded by Ultron sentries in the final Sokovian battle, when she realises the serious implications of her earlier actions. [[spoiler:It takes a pep talk from Clint to snap her out of it.]]
** Her warning Captain America about [[spoiler:Tony doing anything to make the world a safer place]] also has shades of this, [[spoiler:as she hadn't fully realized just what she'd be driving Tony to ''do'']].

** To, of all people, ''Tony Stark'', after a fashion. They both became the people they are in the MCU because Stark didn't do a better job of regulating who he sold his weapons/tech to before his [[Film/IronMan "accident"]] way back when.

* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:She abandons her position of guarding the anti-gravity device to destroy Ultron Prime when he kills Pietro, even though he can barely move at this point. This almost causes her death as one of his sentries manages to activate the device's reverse switch.]]
** This is her motivation through the whole film when you think about it. She wanted revenge on Stark to the point that anyone with him was, in her eyes, either [[GuiltByAssociation just as bad as he was]] or simply CollateralDamage.
* ShipTease: Deliberate scenes are shown with Wanda [[spoiler:throwing aside glances at Vision when he is speaking with Thor]], and near the end [[spoiler:Vision is the one who finds her and rescues her from the falling city where they stare into each other's eyes for a moment, and she ''keeps staring'' as they fly off.]] That last scene has been confirmed in an [[http://www.craveonline.com/film/interviews/850597-avengers-age-ultron-paul-bettany-vision-second-chances/2 interview]] with Paul Bettany as being a "a nod and a wink" to the Scarlet Witch and Vision's [[RoboticSpouse romantic relationship]] and otherwise [[TangledFamilyTree complicated history]] in the comics.

* StringyHairedGhostGirl: Invokes this in scenes where she attacks the Avengers with telepathic nightmares, specifically Strucker's fort and Klaue's lair which are dark and dingy. She suddenly appears behinds them complete with frizzly hair, and zaps them with her powers, before disappearing just as abruptly.

* TheComicallySerious: Fits this role in ''Civil War'', as he's trying to pass as human.

'''Vision:''' Well... I ''[[ReallyWasBornYesterday was]]'' born yesterday.

* GentleGiant: The tallest Avenger (Paul Bettany is 6' 3½" \1,92 m), and a NiceGuy who prefers to only fight when it's necessary.

* TheNeedless: He's a robot powered by a mystical gem in his head. Even notes as he cooks to Wanda that he has never eaten, so he lacks reference for taste.

'''Vision:''' Well... I ''was'' born yesterday.

Originally intended to be the final, ultimate body of Ultron, he is stolen by the Avengers and handed over to Tony Stark. Tony, along with Bruce Banner and a bit of help from Thor, completed it in order to give themselves a way to fight Ultron on even ground and prevent him from using his ability to move his consciousness on the Internet.

* DroneDeployer: His upgraded flight pack has a drone which he can deploy for reconnaissance.

* JetPack: His flight suit is a jetpack with wings. The wings serve the dual purpose of aiding maneuverability and functioning as a shield. The pack also contains space for a separate drone.

* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Wears a black suit, like the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Falcon but not the one from the regular comics (to the chagrin of Mackie, who wanted the red and white costume). His upgraded costume is similar, but with red highlights to emphasize the Falcon moniker.

* NighInvulnerability: [[spoiler:Vibranium]] incorporated right into his cells means he is potentially the physically toughest Avenger besides a fully enraged Hulk or the Asgardian Thor.

* AdaptationalWimp: Compared to the current Wanda in the comics, MCU Wanda is considerably less powerful. However, when the comic book Scarlet Witch was introduced, she was a heavily gimped and dubiously effective enemy and then Avenger. She only became more powerful over time, something that is hinted will happen with MCU Wanda.

* AffirmativeActionGirl: The second female Avenger after Black Widow.

* AtrociousAlias: Tony isn't impressed by the Iron Patriot name, and Rhodey ultimately admits he liked War Machine better. [[spoiler:By way of his [[EmbarrassingPassword AIM passcode]], no less...]]

* TheCavalry: [[spoiler:Shows up in the climatic fight of ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', acting as point defence for the helicarrier.]]

* MomentKiller: [[spoiler: To Tony and Pepper at the end of ''Iron Man 2''. To be fair, [[ImStandingRightHere he was sitting right there]] and they didn't bother to check.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: In ''Civil War'', his attempts to cheer up Wanda [[spoiler: following an operation gone wrong and the Battle of Sokovia that cost her brother's life]] come off as this. Part of it is because he's still trying to get used to the real world.

-->See the [[Characters/MCUNewAvengers New Avengers page]]

* AcePilot: "I never said '''pilot''.'" He seems to now be the sole surviving member of an elite pararescue team, and while not quite a household name, Sam reached a level of technical skill on maneuvering through difficult situations to the level that even the Black Widow had heard of his missions before actually meeting him.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: [[spoiler:Falcon's ability as a trained combatant to preempt and intercept Scott Lang's attacks (with the help of his goggles) is the main reason why he even had a fighting chance against a superpowered opponent.]]

* BadassNormal: He's just a normal man with special training, and he managed to outfly S.H.I.E.L.D. fighters, take down a ''Helicarrier'' almost entirely by himself, and nearly took down [[spoiler: [[Film/AntMan Scott Lang]], despite Scott's superpower advantage]], by himself.

* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: [[spoiler:His upgraded Avengers outfit is showcased in Ant-Man, with goggles that can zoom in and track a particular target.]]

-->'''Steve''': You don't have to come with me.
-->'''Sam''': I know. When do we start?

* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Wears a black suit, like the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Falcon but not the one from the regular comics (to the chagrin of Mackie, who wanted the red and white costume).
** [[spoiler: When he joins the New Avengers at the end of ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', he is wearing a suit that is mostly black but with red highlights.]]

* TheWorfEffect: Mentioned on the commentary track: Sam is a very skilled combatant, but he's new to the superhero business and the Winter Soldier is a killing machine going back at least six decades. The Soldier eliminates him as a threat in one move, and Sam barely had time to release his parachute-- it doesn't inflate all the way and slows his descent only enough to keep him from serious injury.
** Gets hit by this again in Ant-Man. He has a brief but exciting battle with Scott, who defeats Falcon and escapes in a display of how far his training has come.

* {{Badass}}: [[LampshadeHanging Self-identified.]] "It's called 'being a badass'."

* {{Badass}}: She managed to incapacitate The Avengers [[spoiler:except Hawkeye]] with her mind manipulation power that forces them to see their worst nightmares.

* {{Badass}}: While moving at super-speed, he can hit with enough force to smash through an Ultron drone and uppercut Captain America.

-->''"Sometimes it's hard, but sooner or later, every man shows himself.''"

An angry young woman whose parents were killed in an explosion in her homeland of Sokovia. She herself would have perished if not for the fact that the second shell that hit her home did not go off. Forced to stare at the unexploded shell for two days, the words written on that shell burnt in her mind who would be held responsible for her tragedy: Stark Industries and the man behind it, Tony Stark. She subjected herself to the experiments of Wolfgang von Strucker, who through the power contained within Loki's staff, gave her the abilities of telekinetic manipulation and thought implantation.
