It should also be noted that every ally can hold up to 10 charges of Ambient Particles, so this move is by far one of the strongest attacks in the game thus far, rivaling Havok's buffed up Plasma Wave.
* CursedWithAwesome: As evidenced by his bio, his powers have the potential to destroy entire PLANETS without much exertion (this power in particular is utilized by his voice), unfortunately forcing him to stay mute for everyone's safety lest he devastates entire cities or mountain ranges by speaking a sentence or less.

* ShieldBash: His "Shield of Night" attack.
* StanceSystem: Has the aggressive "Blood Curse" stance and the defensive "Chivalrous Duty". By using his L1 Ebony Blade attack, he gains the Blood Curse buff and becomes more offense-oriented, with a chance to perform follow-up or counter attacks on bleeding targets. With his L2 Atonement move, he gains the Chivalrous Duty buff instead and plays more defensively by protecting his allies and either getting charge-ups from ranged attacks or a chance to parry and retaliate against melee attacks. He can only have 1 of these buffs at any time, so gaining Blood Curse would cancel out Chivalrous Duty and vice versa.

!!Doctor Doom
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maa_doctor_doom_7707.jpg
-->'''Mr. Fantastic''': I object to this. In the strongest possible terms.
-->'''Doctor Doom''': As always, Richards, your objections are irrelevant.
->''Born a gypsy in the Balkan kingdom of Latveria, the man who would become Dr. Doom was a college friend of Reed Richards' until the rivalry between the two brilliant students caused a disfiguring accident to Doom's face. Already a powerful sorcerer, Doom became a technological wizard as well, taking over Latveria (where his army of Doombots awaits deployment) and becoming one of the most powerful threats to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the civilized world.''
----
* ActuallyADoombot: In the [[BonusBoss Epic Boss battle]] of Chapter 3 Mission 5
* AGodAmI: As to be expected, '''''Doom is SUPREME OVER ALL!'''''
* ArchEnemy: '''''RICHAAAAAAAAARDS!!'''''
* AssistCharacter: His Summon Servo-Guard move extends to multiple actions to summon different Servo-Guards that have different effects.
* BadassCape
* BadassNormal: Even though he has vast knowledge in science and sorcery, he is still a mortal.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:essentially the main villain amongst the entire BigBadEnsemble of Season 1, and fittingly the TrueFinalBoss.]]
* ChargedAttack: His Doom Canon, which hits all enemies and cannot be blocked, takes 12 rounds before it can used. The countdown is reduced by using tech actions and the damage is increased when he uses Magic actions.
* TheChessmaster
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Doom Cannon takes quite some time to be available for use. And if it does, prepare to unleash doom to the enemy party.
* TheDreaded: As long as Doom is in the battle, his Imperial Ring passive can induce any enemy attack to fail 20% of the time via the Cower debuff.
* DoomyDoomsOfDoom
* EmperorScientist: Of Latveria.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Everybody refuses to work with Doom when he decides to assist S.H.I.E.L.D., even people like [[BloodKnight Sabretooth]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist Magneto]].
* EvilOverlord
* EvilVersusOblivion: He agrees to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. because of the incursions and the threat they pose to all of reality.
* GeniusBruiser
* GodzillaThreshold: Incursions are more or less the only thing that could force S.H.I.E.L.D. to work with him (and vice versa).
* HandBlast: The electric bolts from his hands are due to his suit of armor; his magical blasts are due to his talent in sorcery.
* HannibalLecture: Much like Loki, Doom will reprimand you for opposing him before; he then rubs in your face that you are the one joining his own personal battle against Incursions.
* InsufferableGenius
* InTheHood
* KillSat: His ultimate ability, Doom Cannon.
* LargeHam: With extra pork.
* LastNameBasis: With Reed Richards
* LifeDrain: Trifurcator reduces an enemy's health and [[ManaDrain stamina]] by a fraction and restores stamina to all party members; Steal Essence damages the enemy and reduces their stats while restoring health to all party members and giving a stack of Full Doom to Doom, increasing his stats.
* {{Magitek}}: Doom combines magic and technology ''really well''.
* MoralityPet: To keep Doom at bay, S.H.I.E.L.D. christens the Agent his human RestrainingBolt.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A metal-armored-human-sorcerer-with-gadgets-and-robots. In Tony's words, "crazy cyber warlock".
* PercentDamageAttack: Trifurcator, which is Doom's version of Bifurcator, reduces the enemy's health and stamina by a set percentage.
* PowerArmor
* RagsToRoyalty: Villainous version. From a Latverian gypsy came to rise a dreaded emperor and dictator.
* TheRival: Quite a few but Reed Richards is most prominent.
* StanceSystem: His Technological Superiority, Dark Arts and Summon Servo-Guard abilities extends to multiple actions.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: His surname actually ''is'' Doom -- as far as we can tell.
* SorcerousOverlord: On top of mastering science, he extended his knowledge and talents to sorcery.
* ThirdPersonPerson
* TinTyrant
* TrueFinalBoss: of Season 1; you'll need Mr. Fantastic to unlock his mission.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: As his playable hero profile states, Doom's ways are evil, but his inflated ego tells him that only his iron rule can create a total utopia.
* WorthyOpponent: He considers the incursions of being this for him but specifically denies Reed Richards of ever being this, despite the numerous times Reed has defeated him.
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: As mentioned above, ''no one'' will fight alongside the Agent if Doom is along, hero or villain alike.
!!Emma Frost
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Emma_Frost_5400.jpg
-->"I know what you are thinking, Agent...Remember that, and we can work together."
->''Born wealthy and privileged, Emma Frost didn't need her mutant powers to succeed in the world, but she still took advantage of them. Her telepathic powers won her an invitation to the notorious HellFire Club, where she rose in rank to become the White Queen. There she started a school for mutants and clashed with the X-Men with her contentious curriculum. After a tragedy killed most of her students, Emma decided that teaching for the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters and joining the X-Men was a better use of her gifts.''
----
* ActionGirl
* BadassCape: White and flowing; Emma clearly also has the RequiredSecondaryPowers of keeping it spotless throughout battle.
* BareYourMidriff: Her default Modern costume.
* BlondesAreEvil: Played with, given her HeelFaceTurn in comics after being a long-time X-Men villain. She is not the nicest or most upfront of individuals, and Fury actively distrusts her until the end of Spec Ops 2.
* CombatStilettos
* CulturedBadass
* IceQueen: [[DefrostingIceQueen In fact, impressing her was the entire point of the Spec Ops she was recruited in.]]
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Also in her Modern costume.
* ImmuneToBullets: Her diamond form allows her to anticipate what could be a lethal blow and take minuscule damage instead.
* LadyOfWar: She looks gorgeous, even when she's kicking enemies in the face.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Is snarky and condescending, and has questionable motives, but more than willing to help S.H.I.E.L.D. out. Psylocke even tells Fury to stop suspecting Emma's intentions when she assists in the tracking of some Unstable [=ISO-8=].
* MindRape: Her "Psychic Tap" attack, which inflicts Mental Anguish onto a target.
* PowerUp: "Unlock Potential" wipes off almost all nasty debuffs and raising stats for one round. Her Phoenix Five "Cosmic Power" has this as a chance passive, making it very invaluable in combat.
* PsychicPowers: Of course.
* RecurringCharacter: She is a semi-regular extra member of MissionControl, whenever telepathic powers and/or the Hellfire Club is involved.
* StoneWall: with her Diamond Body passive, she can take less damage from an incoming attack; however, this would leave her vulnerable to the next attack until her turn comes up, or follow up attacks.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her Phoenix Five outfit.
!!Fantomex
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Fantomex_4403.jpg
-->"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Agent. I'd like you to know I will always be fully truthful with you. That last sentence being the exception."
->''Very little is known about the cunning thief called Fantomex, mainly due to his penchant for telling lies and creating telepathic illusions. Created by the same weapons program that produced Wolverine, Fantomex was artificially evolved in a virtual reality domain called 'The World.' This experience left him with super-human reflexes, marksmanship, and discipline. Combined with his sentient techno-organic ship E.V.A., Fantomex is a dangerous enemy...and possibly an even more dangerous ally.''
----
* AssistCharacter: Fantomex's external nervous system, E.V.A., appears in 2 of his attacks: "Allons-y" (where he rides it and shoots at enemies) and "OVNI-E.V.A." (where it grows to a huge size and mangles opponents with tentacles). After the 1st use of "Allons-y", E.V.A. appears by his side for the rest of the match, and has a chance to do follow-up or counter attacks.
* BadassLongcoat: His awesome white duster.
* ConfusionFu: Has the ability to cause enemies to attack each other, as well as an evasive passive.
* ConsummateLiar: As stated in his bio.
* {{Fauxreigner}}: Pretends to be French even though he is technically British. Hill and Fury calls him out on this.
* GratuitousFrench: All his attacks have French names that are coincidentally [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]].
* GunsAkimbo
* MasterOfIllusion: The gist of his mutant powers, along with his complete dishonesty.
* SelfProclaimedLiar

-->"I know I'm not the easiest man to work with, Agent. But I also know I have a lot to contribute to your cause. If you want me on board, I'm yours"
->''Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym is quite possibly the smartest man in the world, though his battles with mental illness have kept him in the shadow of Tony Stark and Reed Richards. His discovery of the Pym Particle, which causes matter to grow or shrink tremendously, is chief among his many scientific achievements. Through many identities, including Ant-Man, Giant-Man, and Goliath, Pym has always used his genius to fight injustice, no matter the size.''\\
\\
''Main article: Comicbook/{{Ant-Man}}''
----
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: His costume subtly invokes the ant, and two of his moves exploit his ability to shrink to miniscule size.
* AssistCharacter: Hank Pym's Army of Ants attack summons a huge swarm of flying insects, one of which he rides on.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: His 'Smartest Man in the Room' passive grants him additional attack advantages as each round passes, as he analyses the combat situation.
* BadassBookworm: He has a specific 'Smartest Man in the Room' passive which can be shared with fellow genius Iron Man, albeit with him rebutting his Analysis. Much like Mr. Fantastic, he also relies more on changing his body than on being inherently built.
* {{Determinator}}: He was going to build Ultron, no matter what stood in his way.
* FlechetteStorm: If ants count as small projectiles, his "Army of Ants" attack certainly qualifies.
* GeniusBruiser
* GiantFootOfStomping: "Bug Squashing," which looks about how you'd expect.
* HeroWithAnFInGood
* InsufferableGenius: Very intelligent and not afraid to let you know it.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's brilliant, but he's not very nice. Even [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Stark]] gets a bit annoyed with him. (Although to Hank's credit, he acknowledges that he is difficult to work with during his recruitment dialogue.)
* SizeShifter: With the help of Pym particles, which his body can naturally generate, he can either grow or shrink.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Can summon ants to his aid, through his headpiece.

->''Orphaned at a young age, Clint Barton became a circus performer specializing in feats of marksmanship. After seeing Iron Man in action, he reinvented himself as a costumed vigilante and became a criminal before approaching Tony Stark, who sponsored him as a member of the Avengers. He possesses near-perfect accuracy with a wide variety of ranged and hand-to-hand weapons, and has designed a number of custom arrows for different battlefield situations.''\\
\\
''Main article: {{Hawkeye}}''
----
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: A subtle hawk theme, mostly emphasizing his pinpoint accuracy.
* AnnoyingArrows: A single arrow doesn't hurt much, unless he decides to go rapid fire on any targeted opponent.
* ArrowsOnFire: The Incendiary Arrow, one of the many trick arrows that Heroic Age Hawkeye can shoot.
* BadassNormal: His only true powers are his keen eye and ingenuity with arrows.
* BeamSpam: An offshoot of this trope. His Rapid Fire passive allows him to fire a LOT of arrows if proc'd enough.
* BottomlessMagazines: His quiver never runs out of arrows.
* CoupDeGrace: Heroic Age Hawkeye can kill off near-death enemies (for good) with his randomly-drawn Adamantium arrows, bypassing "resurrection" effects in the same manner as X-23's "Assassin's Strike."
* ConfusionFu: Heroic Age Hawkeye, who pulls random Trick Arrows to apply various debuffs to a foe. If the player's lucky, a foe afflicted with Pinpoint Target would be barraged with several Trick Arrows, applying a large slew of debuffs in a single round.
* DeadpanSnarker: Unless you threaten his love interest...
* [[DeathOfAThousandCuts Death with a Thousand Shots]]: Especially in his Heroic Age outfit. Even if a target manages to survive the first rain of arrows, he/she will probably go down on the next turn under the resulting stacks of debuffs.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Being a master marksman, his attacks ''almost'' never miss and have a high crit chance.
* ItsPersonal: Clint takes Mockingbird's disappearance very, very seriously, swearing to rescue her personally and successfully doing so [[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim after defeating her while she is brainwashed]].
* {{Multishot}}: His Arrow Volley attack has him shooting three arrows at once.
* RainOfArrows: His "Arrow Volley" skill allows him to launch three arrows at once, each hitting one target. The "Rapid Fire" passive allows him to do a sequential rain of arrows on a targeted opponent.
* TrickArrow: His "Loaded Quiver" passive has 12 different arrows Clint can pull out randomly per shot, inflicting up to 2 debuffs per arrow type.
!!Loki

-->"Whether wrought by my hand or yours, chaos is my coin, Agent. And I foresee great profit from our alliance."
->''This misfit of Asgard, forever carrying a grudge over the death of his father and the Aesir's love for Thor and Balder, inadvertently inspired the creation of the Avengers during one of his plots to destroy his step-brother Thor. A trickster and would-be usurper, Loki schemes constantly, and has allied with Dr. Doom in his recent plots against the Avengers and his hated brother.''
----
* AffablyEvil
* BackStab: His Lie-Smith passive gains chance to avoid attacks and then counter by stabbing the enemy in the back with his scepter. Just like what he did to Coulson.
* BadassLongcoat
* {{Bishonen}}: Given that his LB hero sprite is based off the Avengers movie Loki, you knew this was going to be in effect
* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: in comparison to Thor
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Thor's Abel.
* ChekhovsGag/[[ChekhovsGun Gun]]: Loki's Sceptre is featured as a prize for the daily roulette a couple of weeks before [=SpecOps=] 14 began, and roughly around the same time that Loki was announced as the next Lockbox prize.
* ConfusionFu
* DeadpanSnarker
* ForTheEvulz: The reason why he joined the Syndicate is simply because he likes to watch mayhem and chaos among the humans.
* GodOfEvil
* HannibalLecture: His Comic Book Collection story is basically a big one.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex
* MasterOfIllusion: Used to great effect in some of his boss battles, notably in the Valkyrie Spec Ops, where illusionary versions of him would pop up in regular minion fights and shatter upon hitting them a couple of times.
* {{Narcissist}}: So much so that he would rather have you to believe that you're joining ''him'' rather the other way around.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* SquishyWizard
* TokenEvilTeammate
* TheTrickster
* TheUnfavorite
* VoluntaryShapeshifting
* WeakButSkilled: His attack and defense stats are quite weak but he some-what makes up for it with his abilities of evading attack, making enemies attack each other and reversing buffs/healing effects.

->''Growing up in Nazi Germany, Max Eisenhardt could do nothing as his family was rounded up and murdered. After discovering his mutant ability to control and generate magnetic fields, he fiercely dedicated himself to saving mutantkind from the same fate, no matter the methods or the cost. This purpose has guided Magneto throughout his life, whether as a villain, revolutionary, terrorist, or savior.''\\

''Main article: SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}}''
----
* BadassCape: Dark purple, on his shoulder plate.
* BadassGrandpa: He's about the same age as Professor X and he looks quite ripped.

* CoolHelmet
* ElementalBarrier: His force fields comprise of electromagnetic energy.
* ButNotTooEvil: Magneto is the first to undergo this treatment, being an obvious candidate after the Red Skull joined the Syndicate at the end of Chapter 10. [[spoiler:It turns out that the "Magneto" who was creating mutant test subjects was actually Mystique.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Both the Red Skull and [[spoiler:Mystique's plan to forcibly mutate all of Manhattan]] were too much for him.
* FlyingFirepower: Flies and blasts his foes with ranged magnetic attacks.
* GeniusBruiser
* HeelFaceTurn: The aforementioned events (as well as the player collecting the 8 lockboxes necessary) lead to him joining up with SHIELD.
* KnightTemplar: He reveals that he joined the Syndicate to protect his fellow mutants in the wake of the Pulse. Still, it's hard to ignore the fact that he injected innocent human test subjects with Iso-8-tainted Mutant Growth Hormone and drove many of them insane. Then we find out [[spoiler:it was Mystique in Magneto's guise who was responsible for those experiments]].
* PsychicBlockDefense: His signature helmet blocks out psychic attacks completely.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Even though his reputation was suffering, he held off on turning against [[spoiler:Mystique]] until he had proof of her activities.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: after the Epic Boss battle of 2.2.6, Magneto traps Sugar Man in a graviton well so that he won't escape, whether or not Sugar Man actually did use [[VillainExitStageLeft Shrinkage]] in the battle.

When the original [[LegacyCharacter Moonstone]] became her patient, Karla convinced him to give up the Kree Lifestone he had stolen. Karla then absorbed the stone herself, gaining the powers of flight, intangibility, gravity manipulation, and more. Her recent signs of reform may be genuine...or may simply be another psychological power play.''

* ActionGirl
* ArchEnemy[=/=]EvilCounterpart: To Ms. Marvel.
* BlondesAreEvil
* ChargedAttack: Her Big Bang attack requires one turn before using and on the next round must be first action she uses or she must recharge.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Big Bang requires one round to charge up(she cannot protect or counter in this state) and another round to actually. These actions must be the first and only action she does in both rounds. Better hope she doesn't get K.O.'d before then.
* FlyingBrick
* GravityMaster: Her LV 6 move Gravity Syndrome applies Heavy debuff to all enemies, making flying characters no longer immune to ground attacks and while applying Gravity Well to all allies, increasing damage of melee attacks.
* HannibalLecture: She loves handing out these.
* {{Intangibility}}: Her LV 2 move Blinding Attraction gives her Phased for two rounds.
* LightEmUp. To an extent
* LightIsNotGood
* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]

He could never have predicted that a burst of cosmic rays would hit and grant him the power to stretch his body into any shape. Still a brilliant scientist, Reed is also the leader of the Fantastic Four.''
----
* AlliterativeName
* AwesomeByAnalysis: His "Critical Thinking" passive grants him a chance to place "Weak Point" debuffs on his opponents by pinpointing their weaknesses, guaranteeing a hit and crit on an ally's next attack.
* BadassBookworm: He's the scrawniest-looking member of the lot of heroes, but thanks to his bending abilities he can shape himself into making a bigger impact, especially his "Tumble" move which turns him into a human wheel.
* GadgeteerGenius
* InsufferableGenius: Dedicated obsessively to science throughout the game, to the extent of having NoSocialSkills at times. Even his wife comments that she sometimes has to translate his tech speak into LaymansTerms.
-->'''Tony Stark''': Pym isn't the most lovable guy, is he? But compared to Reed, he's the life of the party.
* LifeDrain: "Bifurcator" will cut an enemy's health by about 50% (30% for bosses) and give the rest of the party a Stamina boost.
* PercentDamageAttack: "Bifurcator" inflicts a debuff which reduces an enemy's health by a percentage based off their current amount, and thus cannot be used as a FinishingMove.
* RollingAttack: "Tumble".
* RubberMan: His combat style takes advantage of his ability to stretch and flex his body in any direction. This can also help him evade attacks and take less damage.
* ScienceHero: The only hero in-game who ''uses a homemade gadget as an attack'', "Bifurcator".
* SuperIntelligence: Depicted in-game as the go-to authority for all things scientific, with Iron Man, Beast and Hank Pym playing second fiddle.

* TheAtoner: Though he generally doesn't seem like one in game so far
* ChargedAttack: His "Heat Generation" passive, which he gains Heat each round and whenever Red Hulk is attacked.
* ColonelBadass
* GeneralRipper: His obsession to destroy the Hulk had led him to "hulkify" himself. [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Once he realized what he'd become]], he sought atonement by becoming an Avenger.
* GeniusBruiser: The Red Hulk has all of a Hulk's might, combined with General Ross's cunning military tactics.
* {{Jerkass}}: As stated in a deploy, He isn't nicest guy in the world. One prominent example of this is shown in his dialogue between him and Hulk before their fight in Spec Ops "Game On":
--->'''Hulk''': Bring it Ross.\\
'''Red Hulk''': Want me to say goodbye to Betty for you, freak? Not that she'll miss you.

After nearly dying in an explosion, she was infused with cybernetic implants that allowed her to interface with her own variant of the Iron Man armor. Refusing to become a living weapon, Pepper's armor focuses solely on defensive systems, giving her incredible search-and-rescue abilities.''
----
* ActionGirl
* BadassInDistress: When Stark Tower is under attack by A.I.M. in Spec Op 9, Pepper is the only individual in the vicinity with the Agent. She then suits up in her Rescue armor for the first time despite her reservations, and is successful in defending the building from multiple waves of attacks with only the Agent's help [[BarrierWarrior (and despite the fact that her armor is primarily non-offensive)]]. Later, it turns out that she had been secretly practising control of the powered armors with Rhodey's help, using Tony's old suits.
* BarrierWarrior: Can create "Reconstruction Matrix" shields that remove debuffs, heal and mitigate damage. Additionally, when protecting allies, she can preemptively generate additional repellent shields. She even attacks by battering an opponent with her shield, and deals extra damage when she has active shields.
* BeehiveBarrier
* BerserkButton: Don't dismiss her as being just 'Tony Stark's secretary'. Crimson Dynamo and Whiplash found this out the hard way.
* CombatMedic: Arguably the most outright example in-game, as her moveset is primarily supportive. She can remove a debuff from her allies every round through her "Panacea Response" passive, as well as clear most of them and heal with "Reconstruction Matrix".

* PoweredArmor
* StatusBuffDispel: Her "Status Reset" ability, which can also negate any debuffs inflicted on her.
* TakingTheBullet: Can protect her allies against attacks with "Protector Protocol".

* BarrierWarrior: His Iron Patriot outfit, besides granting upgraded abilities, give Rhodey's armor a chance to generate a preemptive shield with the "Reactive Shield Charger" passive.
* BlackBestFriend: To Iron Man.
* ChargedAttack: A variant; Rhodey builds up Charged Capacitor stacks each round, with each stack allowing him to fire "Repulsor Ray" or "Minigun Barrage" consecutively until depleted.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: "Overcharge" grants Rhodey hugely increased damage on his next turn, but subsequently drains all his stamina and makes him unable to gain Charged Capacitor stacks, temporarily preventing subsequent use of "Minigun Barrage" or "Repulsor Ray".

* GrandTheftPrototype: [[spoiler:a hijacked Iron Patriot serves as the requisite Epic Boss of [=SpecOps=] 9.]]
* GunshipRescue: Original Armor War Machine will call in an airstrike after three turns.
* HoverTank: The best way to describe the essence of War Machine in-game. On a great turn (fighting against a Blaster character, have all 3 Charged Capacitors and Overwatch available) War Machine can deal ludicrous amounts of damage either to the entire opposition or single opponents. His Iron Patriot costume only increases the damage with his Radiation debuff. And people complain about Rescue....
* MilitarySuperhero: Is highly obedient to the chain of command, military-style.
* MoreDakka: His "Minigun Barrage", which can even fire up to 3 times depending on how many Charged Capacitors stacks he has at the moment. His Iron Patriot alternate replaces this with the "21-Gun Salute", with an additional hit and the Radiation Exposure debuff.
** If Iron Patriot holds off using any ammo-dependent attack until the 2nd round of a fight, he can theoretically fire 126 hits at his opponents in 2 turns with just "Minigun Barrage" alone (with the use of "Full Overcharge" on the 2nd turn).
* LaserBlade: The "Blade Punch" attack. This is replaced by the "Plasma Blade" when suited up as the Iron Patriot, which has the ability to ignore resurrection effects.
* PoweredArmor: Like Tony Stark, he is an ordinary man operating a robotic combat suit.

* ArtificialLimbs: The techno-organic virus transformed most of the left side of his body into metal.
* {{BFG}}: True to form, Cable indeed has his trademark big gun.
* BadassGrandpa: Despite being Scott and Jean's SON he looks old enough to be his father's father and is a cybernetic badass

* FutureBadass
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When he goes into "T-O Overdrive".
* MultiRangedMaster: Proficient with an arsenal of different-sized guns.
* NinetiesAntiHero: But of course.
* PowerAtAPrice: He has two movesets -- one is weapons/tech and the other is [[PsychicPowers psychic]]. To unlock his mental abilities, he has to lose enough stamina to go into "T-O Overdrive," which regenerates stamina but costs health every round.
** Due to a recent patch, this is no longer the case as he is allowed to change between Control Mode and Overdrive Mode at will and he no longer takes damage when he is in T-O Overdrive.
** An even newer patch allows the player to choose between switching to "T-O Overdrive" and Recharging, something that will massively change his play style
* PsychicPowers
* ShouldersOfDoom: Would you expect anything less?
* StanceSystem: Cable can switch from his default T-O Control mode to T-O Overdrive while low in Stamina, granting him a new set of abilities.
** Changed so that Cable can now switch to T-O Overdrive whenever the player feels like it.
* StealthHiBye: Stark complains in Spec Ops 7 that he "hates when (Cable) does that", when the latter pops in just long enough from the future to give a warning and pops out again. This seems to indicate that Cable is a habitual offender.

->''Seeking to acquire influence on Earth, the demon lord Marduk Kurios sired a son with a human woman. That son became Daimon Hellstrom, who rejected his father's plans, traveled to the infernal realms himself, and stole his father's Netheranium trident, which allowed him to tap into his own vast mystical abilities. In order to control the dark side of his heritage, Daimon became an expert in sorcery and the occult, as well as a powerful warrior in the fight against Demonkind.''
----
* AloofBigBrother: Satana sees Daimon as this, dismissing his attempts to reform his demonic heritage as pathetic while she wholeheartedly embraces being evil.
* AntiAntiChrist: Son of a demon lord, but one of the good guys.
* AntiMagic: His Netheranium Spire passive allows him a fifty percent chance to nullify magic attacks against all allies.
* AssistCharacter: Daimon can summon an Infiltrator succubus; the more debuffed he is, the more powerful the attack of his summon is.
* BlackMagic
* CombatMedic: Heals and prevents debuffs with his 'Purifying Flames' ultimate.
* ChainedByFashion: Has several chains dangling from his belt.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He may be half-demon, but he is also a staunch defender of humanity and uses his demonic powers against evildoers instead.

----
* AstralProjection: Not (yet?) part of his gameplay mechanic, but when he needs to leave the field it is usually because he is off speaking to someone else via the Astral Plane.
* BadassBookworm: Gets the "Dr." team-up bonus (he used to be a surgeon) and fights with decades' worth of acquired mystical knowledge.
* BadassCape: In his classic costume (pictured) he wears his traditional, high-collared Cloak of Levitation.
** MysticalHighCollar
* BadassMoustache
* BarrierWarrior: Can use the "Shield of the Seraphim" to protect himself or one of his teammates. His Modern outfit gives him the ability to shield himself or his allies in anticipation of attacks, randomly, until he's taken out of the battle.
* CombatMedic: He has an all-team healing spell, "Teresing Boost," which can be a quick action if he has enough mystic energy stored.
* {{Determinator}}: He ''will not'' let anything from another dimension get past him and attack Earth.
* EnergyAbsorption: Acquires stacks of mystic energy to boost his endurance and take multiple turns.
* GentlemanSnarker: Can be just as irreverent as Tony but is far more subtle and dry about it. Seeing the two of them engaged in SnarkToSnarkCombat is highly entertaining.
* GlassCannon: Despite possessing a pretty well-balanced move-set including the ability to heal, raise shields, and increase magic attacks, his defense is absolute crud even with his Defender buff.
* InstantRunes: His "Vapors of Valtorr" spell.
* ItsPersonal: In Spec Ops 4, demonic forces attacked his home in Greenwich Village. The irritated him enough that he insisted on being the point hero for the boss battle (Baron Mordo), elbowing out Ghost Rider for the privilege.
* RecurringCharacter: He serves as a semi-regular extra member of MissionControl, as the go-to person for briefings whenever there's magic and/or hell-related matters occurring.
* SquishyWizard: Very much a GlassCannon, despite his ability to heal and raise shields.
* SupernaturalSensitivity: Can sense the approach or presence of Dormammu and similar otherworldly threats.

As Daniel lay dying, he made Jericho promise to take up the ways of his ancestors and avenge him. Now called Dr. Voodoo, Jericho's knowledge of the mystic arts rivals that of Dr. Strange, and he has held the mantle of Sorceror Supreme when Strange was unable to.''
----
* AntiMagic His Houngan Supreme passive grants all allies Magic Warding buff that makes them immune to Magic Effects(i.e. Soulfire) and take reduced damage from magic attacks.
* BadassBookworm: This guy doesn't look like he's spent 12 years studying Psychology
* BadassCape
* CoolBlackGuy
* DarkIsNotEvil: His costume and overall Voodoo theme tends to make him look more like an evil guy, not to mention the unfortunate stereotypes that come with the Voodoo theme
* HiddenDepths: Despite utilizing Voodoo based powers and having an admittedly awesome sash of skulls wrapped around his waist, Dr. Voodoo is a former Psychology student having studied for 12 years.
* MagicStaff: One of the conduits for the Voodoo magic and of course to make him look even more awesome
* ManaDrain: Daniel Drumm ability damages all enemies, drains their stamina and restores stamina to all party members.
* SkunkStripe

After she was freed by a religious cult called the Armajesuits, Neena became the mercenary known as Domino. Her skill with firearms and her mutant powers of probability manipulation make for a potent combination.''

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Her skin is literally white.
* GunFu

* LuckManipulationMechanic: Her Get Lucky passive allows her to manipulate probablity as well as other effects inlcuding dodging attacks, [[CounterAttack counter attacking]], [[AttackAttackAttack following-up attacks]], [[ArmorPiercingAttack ignoring defense]], or avoiding debuffs.
* SuperEmpowering: her Around the World attack gains chance to give all allies stat increasing buffs and [[StatusBuffDispel stat decreasing debuffs]] to all enemies

-->"Looks like I owe you one, Agent. I was getting tired of the Hellfire Club anyway. Just don't expect me to bunk with Scott."
->''As a child, Alex Summers was separated from his family (his brother Scott would later become the hero Cyclops) and unknowingly raised as Mr. Sinister's Pawn to take advantage of Alex's latent mutant powers. Havok struggled for years to control his ability to absorb cosmic radiation and turn it into powerful plasma blasts. His immense power, combined with his standoffish attitude, have often put him at odds with his brother and the rest of the X-Men; but Havok has remained a proven ally to the heroes' cause.''
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Cyclops's AloofBigBrother. At the end, when you recruit him, he remarks "Just don't expect me to bunk with Scott".
* ChargedAttack: His "plasma" attacks consume stored Cosmic Energy for increased damage.
* EnergyAbsorption: In his case, he can absorb a massive amount of energy at once and use it immediately, as well as build a stack over time.
* GlassCannon: As with most Blasters, he can dish out more damage than he can take. Less of a GlassCannon in comparison to, say, Dr. Strange and Storm because of his Cosmic Energy buffs which increase his defense and have a max of 5 stacks at any given time
* HairTriggerTemper
* HeroWithAnFInGood: Irritable, stubborn and overconfident. He is generally snappy throughout the course of Spec Ops 6, and insists that he is able to take out the Living Pharaoh, even when it's clear that the latter is feeding off his energy to grow stronger.
* PowerAtAPrice: Havok's 'Plasma Wave' attack is one of the game's most powerful moves. When paired with appropriate debuffs on an opponent, fully stacked Cosmic Energy buffs and a guaranteed critical hit (all of which he can set up on his own), it can epic overkill even in-game bosses. However, using this attack will give him the Kicks Like A Mule debuff, guaranteeing that he will miss his next turn.
** Thankfully, Havok was also given a new Uncanny Coordination passive to compensate, giving him a chance for extra turns when his allies attack and significantly reducing the drawbacks of using 'Plasma Wave'.
* StatusBuffDispel: Can do this with a Shattering Punch.

* BadassBookworm: Since he's a fairly normal-build guy when not in his suit, especially since he has his faceplate lifted in his dialogue picture (see the Mission Control section).
* BarrierWarrior: Can create a regenerative Deflector Shield, and his Mk V Armor starts with an equivalent that also regenerates stamina. His Mk 42 Armor loses the shield-generating power, instead turning it into a chance passive.
* BeehiveBarrier: The appearance of his Deflector Shields.
* ChargedAttack: The more "Unibeam" is fired, the higher its subsequent damage will be. However, it must be fired every round, or else its power will be reset.

----
* ActionGirl
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Has the big golden firebird emblem on her chest, which she also invokes in her Phoenix Fire attack as well as the aura for her Phoenix Five costume.
* AutoRevive: Unlike other death-cheating passives (which are chance-dependent), and other resuscitating powers requiring the use of a turn, Jean can passively revive anyone immediately after their health drops to 0.
* BackFromTheDead: [[MeaningfulName Phoenix]], infamous for repeated deaths and revivals, has a "Death and Rebirth" passive which guarantees that the next ally who dies will be restored to 25% health instead.
* BattleAura: Her Phoenix Five costume gives her a constant, Phoenix-shaped aura of fire.
* CleavageWindow: Her Phoenix Five costume.
* DeathActivatedSuperpower: "Phoenix Fire" is a devastating nuke almost guaranteed to hit all your opponents ForMassiveDamage, strip their buffs and leave them with a DamageOverTime debuff, as well as cleansing all of your team's debuffs. The catch? Jean can only use this attack after someone on your team has their HP reduced to 0, removing her "Death and Rebirth" passive. Timing the revival of a teammate and the use of "Phoenix Fire" is key to mastering (or defeating!) Phoenix.
* FlyingFirepower: Another literal example.
* GlassCannon: Was notorious for having dire Health and Defense, easily the worst amongst all starter (and even subsequent) heroes. Funnily enough, this property actually became ''beneficial'' after her revamp, as it helped her to die faster, revive herself and then unleash her terrifying "Phoenix Fire".
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: In her Phoenix Five alt.
* MindOverMatter: Invoked with her "Telekinesis" attack, where she hurls a huge rock at her opponents.
* PlayingWithFire: Her blast attacks are a blend of Fire and Psychic, which means they will still hurt enemies who are immune to mental powers.

* PsychicBlockDefense: Her Mental Resilience passive lets her gain chance to block psychic attacks and take less damage from psychic attacks.

* PowerFloats
* PowerNullifier: Her You Suck action applies Neturalized and Impaired, removing and preventing any stat increasing effects and makes attacks do twenty percent less damage.
* StanceSystem: Her Lesser Arcana and Greater Arcana abilities extends to multiple actions.

* UnpredictableResults: Basically the case for ''every'' aspect of Wanda's powers.
* WildCard: Her powers are somewhat unpredictable, especially "Probability Field," which may give an [[BlessedWithSuck unhelpful "buff"]] to a teammate or a [[CursedWithAwesome supremely useful "debuff"]] to an enemy. If you bring Wanda to a fight, you're bound to get at least one surprise.

* CombatMedic: His Amber Field ability creates a Preservation field around an ally that blocks damage, removes and prevents debuffs, and heals when dispelled.
* HealingHands: Thane initially specialised in healing abilities. Then when Thanos came to Earth, his left hand turned out to be highly lethal instead, although he can still heal with the right hand.
* IAmAMonster: Experiences great despair after accidentally killing many with his newly-manifested lethal powers.
* KilledOffForReal: His attacks are all about manipulating life and death (the latter towards opponents, of course); Sealing Touch instantly defeats any opponent below 30% health, Black Hand prevents resurrection & healing effects, and enemies knocked out by Life and Death cannot be resurrected.

!!Black Bolt
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maa_black_bolt_3684.jpg
-->'''Black Bolt''': [[VisibleSilence ...]]
-->'''Emma Frost''': He wants to thank you for everything you've done for the Inhumans, Agent. You can count him as an ally, now and in the future.
->''Even amongst the race of super-powered Inhumans, Blackagar Boltagon's abilities are terrifyingly destructive. Blessed and cursed with a voice that can shatter whole planets, Black Bolt must keep forever mute, lest a single incautious whisper kill everyone around him. As the King of the Inhumans, it is his duty to protect the Inhuman city of Attilan and guide his people through an uncertain future.''
----
* AlliterativeName
* ChargedAttack: His Power Word attack, which consumes all Ambient Particles buffs on him and all allies to unleash what is a potentially devastating attack. It should also be noted that every ally can hold up to 10 charges of Ambient Particles, so this move is by far one of the strongest attacks in the game thus far, rivaling Havok's buffed up Plasma Wave.
* CursedWithAwesome: As evidenced by his bio, his powers have the potential to destroy entire PLANETS without much exertion (this power in particular is utilized by his voice), unfortunately forcing him to stay mute for everyone's safety lest he devastates entire cities or mountain ranges by speaking a sentence or less.
** Good thing he doesn't talk in his sleep.
** Ironic since he specifically trained himself not to do so, completely doing away with instinctual talking or crying out
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite being decked out in a pitch-black costume that does look intimidating and possessing tremendously destructive powers, Black Bolt is a staunch defender of the good guys and innocents.
* FlyingBrick
* MakeMeWannaShout: "Whisper" and "Power Word." Black Bolt's voice is so powerful that even his whispers have the capability to incapacitate opponents.
* NoKillLikeOverkill: "Power Word", the aforementioned ChargedAttack becomes this
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's the king of the Inhumans and has a range of superpowers including super strength, flight and a voice that can shatter planets and is very much active in protecting innocents.
* SilentSnarker: If the various telepaths' entertained and/or offended reactions to eavesdropping on his thoughts about the bad guys are any indication...
* StatusBuffDispel: His Whisper attack inflicts Buff Blocker on enemies, which removes and prevents most of their buffs.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: If it's still not obvious, '''Black'''agar '''Bolt'''agon.
* VisibleSilence: The only hero so far whose dialogue consists entirely of this, unsurprisingly.
* TheVoiceless: For everyone else's sake. Everyone else speaks for him instead.
!!Black Knight
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Black_Knight_1300.jpg
-->"You have my sword, Agent. ...Come on, you knew I was going to say it."
->''Nathan Garrett, the previous villainous Black Knight, begged his nephew Dane to take up the name and restore its legacy. As one of the greatest swordsmen on earth, Dane Whitman has more then kept his promise. With the all-cleaving Ebony Blade and psyche-disrupting Sword of Light, the Black Knight is equipped to handle any challenge.''
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: The Ebony Blade ignores defense and shields.
* AntiMagic: His Magic Warding passive makes him immune to Magic Effects (i.e. Soulfire or Hexed) and taking reduced damage from magic attacks.
* AssistCharacter: Black Knight can summon Valinor, his mystical winged steed from Avalon, to attack his foes.
* TheAtoner: Sheds the 'Blood Curse' by adopting a stance which protects the rest of the team, via a move aptly called 'Atonement'.
* BadassCape: Dark blue and cloaklike.
* BloodKnight: Literally becomes this when 'Blood Curse' is applied, due to the malevolent Ebony Blade.
* ChargedAttack: When defending against ranged attacks in his 'Chivalrous Duty' mode, he converts each intercepted attack into a Sword of Light charge-up, increasing the damage on the next use of Ebony Blade.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He might have dark armour and an evil black sword, but his noble heart makes him very much a hero.
* GeniusBruiser: He gets the "Eggheads" bonus, and is a physicist like Captain Britain, but he looks and fights like a KnightInShiningArmor.
* GoingNative: He's ''supposed'' to be American, but talks about serving the Queen, calls the US "the colonies", and calls Tony a "Yank", so it's either this or Adaptational Nationality.
* RedeemingReplacement: The heroic nephew of a former, villainous Black Knight.
* ScienceDestroysMagic: Implied by his Magic Warding passive that reduces damage from magic attacks and neutralizes all magical debuffs.
* ShieldBash: His "Shield of Night" attack.
* StanceSystem: Has the aggressive "Blood Curse" stance and the defensive "Chivalrous Duty". By using his L1 Ebony Blade attack, he gains the Blood Curse buff and becomes more offense-oriented, with a chance to perform follow-up or counter attacks on bleeding targets. With his L2 Atonement move, he gains the Chivalrous Duty buff instead and plays more defensively by protecting his allies and either getting charge-ups from ranged attacks or a chance to parry and retaliate against melee attacks. He can only have 1 of these buffs at any time, so gaining Blood Curse would cancel out Chivalrous Duty and vice versa.
* TakingTheBullet: See the description of "Chivalrous Duty" above.
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Played with in Season 2; he does it back and forth with Selene for a bit but then says "all right, that's enough" and starts talking normally again. He also waxes a bit poetic around Tony, who then snarks at him for it.
!!Black Panther
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Black_Panther_268.jpg
-->"Wakanda has no need of S.H.I.E.L.D., but S.H.I.E.L.D. has need of Wakanda. As long as our goals align, I will fight by your side."
->''Heir to the ruling dynasty of the ancient kingdom of Wakanda, T'Challa became king and Black Panther as a young man and has transformed Wakanda into a high-tech powerhouse. Wary of outside interests that seek to exploit Wakanda's enormous Vibranium deposits, he is a powerful ally but always keeps his home country's interests first and foremost. He is married to Storm but the demands of the X-Men and Wakanda often keep them apart.''\\
\\
''Main article: ComicBook/BlackPanther''
----
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: Anti-Metal Claws ignore enemy's defense and shield.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: He wears a panther-like mask and his weapons are special Vibranium claws.
* BadassCape: Black and simple.
* CaptainPatriotic: Places the interests of Wakanda above all. He even says as much in his recruitment message.
-->'''Black Panther''': Wakanda has no need of S.H.I.E.L.D., but S.H.I.E.L.D. has need of Wakanda. As long as our goals align, I will fight by your side.
* CoolMask
* GeniusBruiser: Like Captain Britain he's a physicist and gets the "Dr." and "Eggheads" bonuses, but his battle style consists of making things bleed with his claws and buffing himself up.
* HappilyMarried: To Storm.
* KryptoniteFactor: his Vibranium attacks are the weakness of the Ultron clones in the Heroic Battle of 2.3.5.
* LegacyCharacter: He inherited the Black Panther title from his father whom also inherited it from a relative going back hundreds of years ago.
* PantheraAwesome
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Not only is he the king of Wakanda but he is also an active superhero.
* StatusBuffDispel: By throwing his Vibranium Daggers at an opponent.
!!Captain America
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Captain_America_9935.jpg
-->"Glad to be on board, Agent."
->''Product of a World War II super soldier experiment, Steve Rogers was recovered from a block of ice years after a mission over Europe went disastrously wrong. Thrown into a future that he's still not used to, he brings an old-fashioned resolve to the Avengers' mission.''\\
\\
''Main article: Comicbook/CaptainAmerica''
----
* CaptainGeographic
* CaptainPatriotic: Fights to uphold the values of America (but ''not'' necessarily its government).
* TheGoodCaptain[=/=]CaptainSuperhero
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He has a Defensive Stance passive, which has a chance to reduce damage taken by way of his Mighty Shield.
* MilitarySuperhero
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being a perfectly professional soldier under all circumstances, even he can't resist a snarky suggestion to stick Grey Gargoyle "on a cathedral somewhere" after defeating him yet again.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Was only recently defrosted from an involuntary cryostasis.
* ShieldBash: His Level 1 attack is literally called this, too.
* SuperSerum: The famous basis of his powers.
* TakingTheBullet: Cap's "Shield Guard" ability, which allows him to intercept enemy attacks, then hitting the attacking foe with a counter move.
* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: "Shield Throw" sends the shield out in a wide circle to hit all enemies and then return to his hand.
!!Constrictor
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maa_constrictor_5225.png
-->"Alright, Agent, let's get this show on the road. ...Oh, and tell Hercules to stop giving me the stink-eye, will ya?"
->''Frank Payne began his career as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but the lure of money and power drove him to crime. He donned a cybernetic suit equipped with prehensile, electrified metal coils and took on the moniker of Constrictor. After winning an excessive force lawsuit against Hercules, he had all the money he could want, and decided he wanted to return to the life of a hero...or at least a soldier with a few scruples.''
----
* AnimalThemeNaming: The boa constrictor.
* AntiVillain: He may be willing to fight for the bad guys if paid handsomely, but Frank still respects the sanctity of human life, even stopping to save a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the Vault breakout. It turns out that he ultimately does want to do the right thing, although his heroism is tempered by his past experiences.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: mentions in his Lockbox story that the Helicarrier smelling like motor oil is one of the reasons he left SHIELD.
* AssistCharacter: Constrictor's level 9 attack is a Distress Call that summons Magneto, who uses Graviton Well. Although it is only usable once per battle, it's a Quick Action move which costs no Stamina. Its eventually upgraded so that he can randomly summon any other Lockbox hero.
* TheAtoner: Wants to go back to being a hero, after realizing that he needed more than money to feel satisfied with himself.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: His high-tech battlesuit with a pair of electrified CombatTentacles.
* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: In the Marvel XP files is a story about how he reluctantly saved a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent from the Wendigo even when he could have [[WhatYouAreInTheDark left the man to die with no witnesses]]. (This ultimately costs him his chance to escape from the Vault).
* EvilCounterpart: When he's a boss, he's this to the Agent -- he can use items and call other villains in for support. Even as a hero, he's more or less what the Agent might become if s/he gets disappointed.
* HeelFaceTurn
* ItemCaddy: His ''Quartermaster'' passive allows him to use a random consumable up to once per turn.
* KnightInSourArmor
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The primary driving forces for Frank's turn to villainy were the disillusionment and poverty he experienced as a S.H.I.E.L.D. RedShirt. He decides to reform after earning a huge injury settlement against Hercules and no longer having to worry about his income.
* ShockAndAwe: His vibranium coils are electrified and can stun opponents.
* VillainProtagonist: His [[AllThereInTheManual side-story in Marvel XP]] centers around him dealing with a breakout in the Vault and fighting various escaped monsters.
* WelcomeBackTraitor
* WhipItGood
!!Cyclops
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Cyclops_6572.jpg
-->"The X-Men are with you, Agent. Iso-8 in the wrong hands is a menace to everyone."
->''Professor X's first student, Scott Summers is one of the X-Men's leaders. Able to discharge devastating energy bolts from his eyes via a breach between universes, Cyclops is one of the most powerful mutants to graduate the School of Gifted Youngsters.''\\
\\
''Main article: Comicbook/{{Cyclops}}''
----
* AlliterativeName: Scott Summers
* ArmorPiercingAttack: his Empowered ISO-8 exclusive allows his Optic Blasts (both the lvl 1 and lvl 9 variants) to ignore defense.
* BackFromTheDead: His Uncanny outfit's ''Don't Die on Me!'' passive grants a 25% chance to a K.O.'ed ally to revive with 1% health.
* EyeBeams: His trademark optic blasts.
* AFatherToHisMen: Scott's skillset and passives focus on motivating and bolstering his team with buffs, extra turns, counterattacks, or even revivals. His Blue Team (Uncanny) outfit epitomizes this trope.
* HeroicWillpower: He motivates his teammates when they are attacked, increasing all their stats.
* HitAndRunTactics: The essence of Cyke's updated moveset, which is fitting considering his expertise in guerrilla tactics; his powers involve having allies take multiple hits against enemies, be it counterattacking with the 'Combat Expertise' buff or follow-up attacks by applying the 'Flanked' debuff.
* HowDareYouDieOnMe: The essence of Uncanny Cyclops' passive, as mentioned above.
* PowerIncontinence: Cyclops cannot control his optic blasts and must wear his visor at almost all times.
* PowerNullifier: His "Exploit Weakness" attack creates a negative counter-effect according to the class of whoever he's targeting.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Scott's glowing eyes become briefly visible when using ''Mega Optic Blast''.
* [[TheGlassesComeOff The Visor Comes Off]]: His ultimate move ''Mega Optic Blast''.
!!Doctor Doom
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maa_doctor_doom_7707.jpg
-->'''Mr. Fantastic''': I object to this. In the strongest possible terms.
-->'''Doctor Doom''': As always, Richards, your objections are irrelevant.
->''Born a gypsy in the Balkan kingdom of Latveria, the man who would become Dr. Doom was a college friend of Reed Richards' until the rivalry between the two brilliant students caused a disfiguring accident to Doom's face. Already a powerful sorcerer, Doom became a technological wizard as well, taking over Latveria (where his army of Doombots awaits deployment) and becoming one of the most powerful threats to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the civilized world.''
----
* ActuallyADoombot: In the [[BonusBoss Epic Boss battle]] of Chapter 3 Mission 5
* AGodAmI: As to be expected, '''''Doom is SUPREME OVER ALL!'''''
* ArchEnemy: '''''RICHAAAAAAAAARDS!!'''''
* AssistCharacter: His Summon Servo-Guard move extends to multiple actions to summon different Servo-Guards that have different effects.
* BadassCape
* BadassNormal: Even though he has vast knowledge in science and sorcery, he is still a mortal.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:essentially the main villain amongst the entire BigBadEnsemble of Season 1, and fittingly the TrueFinalBoss.]]
* ChargedAttack: His Doom Canon, which hits all enemies and cannot be blocked, takes 12 rounds before it can used. The countdown is reduced by using tech actions and the damage is increased when he uses Magic actions.
* TheChessmaster
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Doom Cannon takes quite some time to be available for use. And if it does, prepare to unleash doom to the enemy party.
* TheDreaded: As long as Doom is in the battle, his Imperial Ring passive can induce any enemy attack to fail 20% of the time via the Cower debuff.
* DoomyDoomsOfDoom
* EmperorScientist: Of Latveria.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Everybody refuses to work with Doom when he decides to assist S.H.I.E.L.D., even people like [[BloodKnight Sabretooth]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist Magneto]].
* EvilOverlord
* EvilVersusOblivion: He agrees to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. because of the incursions and the threat they pose to all of reality.
* GeniusBruiser
* GodzillaThreshold: Incursions are more or less the only thing that could force S.H.I.E.L.D. to work with him (and vice versa).
* HandBlast: The electric bolts from his hands are due to his suit of armor; his magical blasts are due to his talent in sorcery.
* HannibalLecture: Much like Loki, Doom will reprimand you for opposing him before; he then rubs in your face that you are the one joining his own personal battle against Incursions.
* InsufferableGenius
* InTheHood
* KillSat: His ultimate ability, Doom Cannon.
* LargeHam: With extra pork.
* LastNameBasis: With Reed Richards
* LifeDrain: Trifurcator reduces an enemy's health and [[ManaDrain stamina]] by a fraction and restores stamina to all party members; Steal Essence damages the enemy and reduces their stats while restoring health to all party members and giving a stack of Full Doom to Doom, increasing his stats.
* {{Magitek}}: Doom combines magic and technology ''really well''.
* MoralityPet: To keep Doom at bay, S.H.I.E.L.D. christens the Agent his human RestrainingBolt.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A metal-armored-human-sorcerer-with-gadgets-and-robots. In Tony's words, "crazy cyber warlock".
* PercentDamageAttack: Trifurcator, which is Doom's version of Bifurcator, reduces the enemy's health and stamina by a set percentage.
* PowerArmor
* RagsToRoyalty: Villainous version. From a Latverian gypsy came to rise a dreaded emperor and dictator.
* TheRival: Quite a few but Reed Richards is most prominent.
* StanceSystem: His Technological Superiority, Dark Arts and Summon Servo-Guard abilities extends to multiple actions.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: His surname actually ''is'' Doom -- as far as we can tell.
* SorcerousOverlord: On top of mastering science, he extended his knowledge and talents to sorcery.
* ThirdPersonPerson
* TinTyrant
* TrueFinalBoss: of Season 1; you'll need Mr. Fantastic to unlock his mission.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: As his playable hero profile states, Doom's ways are evil, but his inflated ego tells him that only his iron rule can create a total utopia.
* WorthyOpponent: He considers the incursions of being this for him but specifically denies Reed Richards of ever being this, despite the numerous times Reed has defeated him.
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: As mentioned above, ''no one'' will fight alongside the Agent if Doom is along, hero or villain alike.
!!Emma Frost
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Emma_Frost_5400.jpg
-->"I know what you are thinking, Agent...Remember that, and we can work together."
->''Born wealthy and privileged, Emma Frost didn't need her mutant powers to succeed in the world, but she still took advantage of them. Her telepathic powers won her an invitation to the notorious HellFire Club, where she rose in rank to become the White Queen. There she started a school for mutants and clashed with the X-Men with her contentious curriculum. After a tragedy killed most of her students, Emma decided that teaching for the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters and joining the X-Men was a better use of her gifts.''
----
* ActionGirl
* BadassCape: White and flowing; Emma clearly also has the RequiredSecondaryPowers of keeping it spotless throughout battle.
* BareYourMidriff: Her default Modern costume.
* BlondesAreEvil: Played with, given her HeelFaceTurn in comics after being a long-time X-Men villain. She is not the nicest or most upfront of individuals, and Fury actively distrusts her until the end of Spec Ops 2.
* CombatStilettos
* CulturedBadass
* IceQueen: [[DefrostingIceQueen In fact, impressing her was the entire point of the Spec Ops she was recruited in.]]
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Also in her Modern costume.
* ImmuneToBullets: Her diamond form allows her to anticipate what could be a lethal blow and take minuscule damage instead.
* LadyOfWar: She looks gorgeous, even when she's kicking enemies in the face.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Is snarky and condescending, and has questionable motives, but more than willing to help S.H.I.E.L.D. out. Psylocke even tells Fury to stop suspecting Emma's intentions when she assists in the tracking of some Unstable [=ISO-8=].
* MindRape: Her "Psychic Tap" attack, which inflicts Mental Anguish onto a target.
* PowerUp: "Unlock Potential" wipes off almost all nasty debuffs and raising stats for one round. Her Phoenix Five "Cosmic Power" has this as a chance passive, making it very invaluable in combat.
* PsychicPowers: Of course.
* RecurringCharacter: She is a semi-regular extra member of MissionControl, whenever telepathic powers and/or the Hellfire Club is involved.
* StoneWall: with her Diamond Body passive, she can take less damage from an incoming attack; however, this would leave her vulnerable to the next attack until her turn comes up, or follow up attacks.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her Phoenix Five outfit.
!!Fantomex
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Fantomex_4403.jpg
-->"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Agent. I'd like you to know I will always be fully truthful with you. That last sentence being the exception."
->''Very little is known about the cunning thief called Fantomex, mainly due to his penchant for telling lies and creating telepathic illusions. Created by the same weapons program that produced Wolverine, Fantomex was artificially evolved in a virtual reality domain called 'The World.' This experience left him with super-human reflexes, marksmanship, and discipline. Combined with his sentient techno-organic ship E.V.A., Fantomex is a dangerous enemy...and possibly an even more dangerous ally.''
----
* AssistCharacter: Fantomex's external nervous system, E.V.A., appears in 2 of his attacks: "Allons-y" (where he rides it and shoots at enemies) and "OVNI-E.V.A." (where it grows to a huge size and mangles opponents with tentacles). After the 1st use of "Allons-y", E.V.A. appears by his side for the rest of the match, and has a chance to do follow-up or counter attacks.
* BadassLongcoat: His awesome white duster.
* ConfusionFu: Has the ability to cause enemies to attack each other, as well as an evasive passive.
* ConsummateLiar: As stated in his bio.
* {{Fauxreigner}}: Pretends to be French even though he is technically British. Hill and Fury calls him out on this.
* GratuitousFrench: All his attacks have French names that are coincidentally [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]].
* GunsAkimbo
* MasterOfIllusion: The gist of his mutant powers, along with his complete dishonesty.
* SelfProclaimedLiar
!!Hank Pym
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Hank_Pym_1112.jpg
-->"I know I'm not the easiest man to work with, Agent. But I also know I have a lot to contribute to your cause. If you want me on board, I'm yours"
->''Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym is quite possibly the smartest man in the world, though his battles with mental illness have kept him in the shadow of Tony Stark and Reed Richards. His discovery of the Pym Particle, which causes matter to grow or shrink tremendously, is chief among his many scientific achievements. Through many identities, including Ant-Man, Giant-Man, and Goliath, Pym has always used his genius to fight injustice, no matter the size.''\\
\\
''Main article: Comicbook/{{Ant-Man}}''
----
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: His costume subtly invokes the ant, and two of his moves exploit his ability to shrink to miniscule size.
* AssistCharacter: Hank Pym's Army of Ants attack summons a huge swarm of flying insects, one of which he rides on.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: His 'Smartest Man in the Room' passive grants him additional attack advantages as each round passes, as he analyses the combat situation.
* BadassBookworm: He has a specific 'Smartest Man in the Room' passive which can be shared with fellow genius Iron Man, albeit with him rebutting his Analysis. Much like Mr. Fantastic, he also relies more on changing his body than on being inherently built.
* {{Determinator}}: He was going to build Ultron, no matter what stood in his way.
* FlechetteStorm: If ants count as small projectiles, his "Army of Ants" attack certainly qualifies.
* GeniusBruiser
* GiantFootOfStomping: "Bug Squashing," which looks about how you'd expect.
* HeroWithAnFInGood
* InsufferableGenius: Very intelligent and not afraid to let you know it.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's brilliant, but he's not very nice. Even [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Stark]] gets a bit annoyed with him. (Although to Hank's credit, he acknowledges that he is difficult to work with during his recruitment dialogue.)
* SizeShifter: With the help of Pym particles, which his body can naturally generate, he can either grow or shrink.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Can summon ants to his aid, through his headpiece.
!!Hawkeye
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Hawkeye_1343.jpg
-->"Thanks for the invite. Looks like a fun party."
->''Orphaned at a young age, Clint Barton became a circus performer specializing in feats of marksmanship. After seeing Iron Man in action, he reinvented himself as a costumed vigilante and became a criminal before approaching Tony Stark, who sponsored him as a member of the Avengers. He possesses near-perfect accuracy with a wide variety of ranged and hand-to-hand weapons, and has designed a number of custom arrows for different battlefield situations.''\\
\\
''Main article: {{Hawkeye}}''
----
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: A subtle hawk theme, mostly emphasizing his pinpoint accuracy.
* AnnoyingArrows: A single arrow doesn't hurt much, unless he decides to go rapid fire on any targeted opponent.
* ArrowsOnFire: The Incendiary Arrow, one of the many trick arrows that Heroic Age Hawkeye can shoot.
* BadassNormal: His only true powers are his keen eye and ingenuity with arrows.
* BeamSpam: An offshoot of this trope. His Rapid Fire passive allows him to fire a LOT of arrows if proc'd enough.
* BottomlessMagazines: His quiver never runs out of arrows.
* CoupDeGrace: Heroic Age Hawkeye can kill off near-death enemies (for good) with his randomly-drawn Adamantium arrows, bypassing "resurrection" effects in the same manner as X-23's "Assassin's Strike."
* ConfusionFu: Heroic Age Hawkeye, who pulls random Trick Arrows to apply various debuffs to a foe. If the player's lucky, a foe afflicted with Pinpoint Target would be barraged with several Trick Arrows, applying a large slew of debuffs in a single round.
* DeadpanSnarker: Unless you threaten his love interest...
* [[DeathOfAThousandCuts Death with a Thousand Shots]]: Especially in his Heroic Age outfit. Even if a target manages to survive the first rain of arrows, he/she will probably go down on the next turn under the resulting stacks of debuffs.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Being a master marksman, his attacks ''almost'' never miss and have a high crit chance.
* ItsPersonal: Clint takes Mockingbird's disappearance very, very seriously, swearing to rescue her personally and successfully doing so [[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim after defeating her while she is brainwashed]].
* {{Multishot}}: His Arrow Volley attack has him shooting three arrows at once.
* RainOfArrows: His "Arrow Volley" skill allows him to launch three arrows at once, each hitting one target. The "Rapid Fire" passive allows him to do a sequential rain of arrows on a targeted opponent.
* TrickArrow: His "Loaded Quiver" passive has 12 different arrows Clint can pull out randomly per shot, inflicting up to 2 debuffs per arrow type.
!!Loki
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maa_loki_7364.jpg
-->"Whether wrought by my hand or yours, chaos is my coin, Agent. And I foresee great profit from our alliance."
->''This misfit of Asgard, forever carrying a grudge over the death of his father and the Aesir's love for Thor and Balder, inadvertently inspired the creation of the Avengers during one of his plots to destroy his step-brother Thor. A trickster and would-be usurper, Loki schemes constantly, and has allied with Dr. Doom in his recent plots against the Avengers and his hated brother.''
----
* AffablyEvil
* BackStab: His Lie-Smith passive gains chance to avoid attacks and then counter by stabbing the enemy in the back with his scepter. Just like what he did to Coulson.
* BadassLongcoat
* {{Bishonen}}: Given that his LB hero sprite is based off the Avengers movie Loki, you knew this was going to be in effect
* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: in comparison to Thor
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Thor's Abel.
* ChekhovsGag/[[ChekhovsGun Gun]]: Loki's Sceptre is featured as a prize for the daily roulette a couple of weeks before [=SpecOps=] 14 began, and roughly around the same time that Loki was announced as the next Lockbox prize.
* ConfusionFu
* DeadpanSnarker
* ForTheEvulz: The reason why he joined the Syndicate is simply because he likes to watch mayhem and chaos among the humans.
* GodOfEvil
* HannibalLecture: His Comic Book Collection story is basically a big one.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex
* MasterOfIllusion: Used to great effect in some of his boss battles, notably in the Valkyrie Spec Ops, where illusionary versions of him would pop up in regular minion fights and shatter upon hitting them a couple of times.
* {{Narcissist}}: So much so that he would rather have you to believe that you're joining ''him'' rather the other way around.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* SquishyWizard
* TokenEvilTeammate
* TheTrickster
* TheUnfavorite
* VoluntaryShapeshifting
* WeakButSkilled: His attack and defense stats are quite weak but he some-what makes up for it with his abilities of evading attack, making enemies attack each other and reversing buffs/healing effects.
!!Magneto

* BadassCape: Dark purple, on his shoulder plate.
* BadassGrandpa: He's about the same age as Professor X and he looks quite ripped.

* GlassCannon: As with most Blasters, he can dish out more damage than he can take. Less of a GlassCannon in comparison to, say, Dr. Strange and Storm because of his Cosmic Energy buffs which increase his defense and have a max of 5 stacks at any given time
* HairTriggerTemper
* HeroWithAnFInGood: Irritable, stubborn and overconfident. He is generally snappy throughout the course of Spec Ops 6, and insists that he is able to take out the Living Pharaoh, even when it's clear that the latter is feeding off his energy to grow stronger.

* CleavageWindow: Her Phoenix Five costume.
* DeathActivatedSuperpower: "Phoenix Fire" is a devastating nuke almost guaranteed to hit all your opponents ForMassiveDamage, strip their buffs and leave them with a DamageOverTime debuff, as well as cleansing all of your team's debuffs. The catch? Jean can only use this attack after someone on your team has their HP reduced to 0, removing her "Death and Rebirth" passive. Timing the revival of a teammate and the use of "Phoenix Fire" is key to mastering (or defeating!) Phoenix.
* FlyingFirepower: Another literal example.
* GlassCannon: Was notorious for having dire Health and Defense, easily the worst amongst all starter (and even subsequent) heroes. Funnily enough, this property actually became ''beneficial'' after her revamp, as it helped her to die faster, revive herself and then unleash her terrifying "Phoenix Fire".
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: In her Phoenix Five alt.
* MindOverMatter: Invoked with her "Telekinesis" attack, where she hurls a huge rock at her opponents.
* PlayingWithFire: Her blast attacks are a blend of Fire and Psychic, which means they will still hurt enemies who are immune to mental powers.
* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Her red hair is much longer and wilder in her Phoenix Five costume.
* PsychicBlockDefense: Her Mental Resilience passive lets her gain chance to block psychic attacks and take less damage from psychic attacks.
* PsychicPowers: She can mindlink with a teammate for protection, throw energy blasts with the power of the Phoenix, or simply lift an enormous boulder with her mind and drop it on you.
* StatusBuffDispel: Happens after she spreads Soulfire with Phoenix Fire.

--> "Wait, you want me to join S.H.I.E.L.D.? For real? ...Alright, but if you make me do any government oppressor-type stuff, you'll regret it."
->''The Pride was an organization of six supervillain married couples, dedicated to the destruction of all of humanity...except for their own children. Those children would prove to be their undoing, becoming a group of young heroes known as the {{Runaways}}. The leader of the Runaways is Nico Minoru, daughter of two evil sorcerors, and a powerful magician in her own right. She wields the Staff of One, a mystical weapon which allows its wielder to cast almost any spell they can imagine...but only once''
----
* BackFromTheDead: Can revive herself to full health and stamina whilst clearing all her debuffs once per battle.
* BlackMage: Most of her actions primarily focuses on dealing damage to the enemy and applying a lot of debuffs.
** BlackMagicianGirl: Through with some LadyOfBlackMagic elements.
* BloodMagic: See below.
* CastFromHitPoints: Can increase the potency of her attacks by inflicting Bleeding on herself. 'Kick Ass!' and 'Rock and Roll!' also require Bleeding on her to use.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She's goth, but she's not a villain.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not as much as everyone else, but still.
* ElementalPowers: Some of her Arcana abilities:
** AnIcePerson: "Freeze!"

** PlayingWithFire: "Die in a Fire!"
* EmotionBomb: Her Fear Me attack applies Cower and Intimidated to all enemies.
* GothGirlsKnowMagic
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: Each of Nico's Arcana spells can only be effectively used once per battle. Repeated uses will deviate from the spells' intended effect, to say the least.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall
--> ''But I mean it when I say thanks, umm...[[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep What's your name? Agent...?]]
* MagicStaff: The Staff of One
* MagikarpPower: At early levels she is really easy to take down, but as more of her Arcana unlocks, she becomes increasingly more dangerous.
* PerkyGoth: It seems in this continuity she retained more of her original, happy self [[BreakTheCutie than she did in comics]].
* PowerAtAPrice: Much of her moveset is based off of whether or not she has (a) stack(s) of Bleeding on her character. Plus she gets a strength boost off every stack of Bleeding she has and also takes reduced damage from the Bleeding for what it's worth
* PowerFloats
* PowerNullifier: Her You Suck action applies Neturalized and Impaired, removing and preventing any stat increasing effects and makes attacks do twenty percent less damage.
* StanceSystem: Her Lesser Arcana and Greater Arcana abilities extends to multiple actions.
* StatusBuffDispel: While most of her actions inflict debuff(s) to the enemy, her ''More Dots'' attack's primary functions is to inflict a wide range of debuffs.
* SquishyWizard: Surpasses even Jean Grey as the lowest-health hero in the game.
* SuperEmpowering: "Kick Ass!", which grants an ally (or herself) and additional turn with a boost in attack and accuracy.
* UnpredictableResults: Using any of her Arcana attacks more than once per battle yields ''interesting'' results.

-->"This Isotope-8 is fascinating, isn't it? I can feel its power resonating with my own. I will join you, Agent, and we can discover its mysteries together."
->''An orphan raised with her twin brother Quicksilver, Wanda Maximoff possesses a unique combination of mutant and magical powers. When persecuted for her probability-changing mutant abilities, the twins sought refuge with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, unaware that Magneto was their father. Unhappy at being a villain, Wanda convinced her brother that they should join the Avengers to redeem themselves. Where the Scarlet Witch goes, chaos follows.''\\

* ActionGirl
* BadassCape: A red one attached to her bodysuit.
* ConfusionFu: "Hex Spheres" can make enemy attacks backfire, plus she has a "Reality Warping" passive ability which can cause enemy attacks to miss.
* FormFittingWardrobe: She wears a red leotard over a pink bodysuit.
* LadyOfWar: Her attacks are very graceful and pretty to watch. Pink energy bolts everywhere!
* LeotardOfPower: Worn together with pink spandex for added modesty.
* RandomEffectSpell: The DamageOverTime effects and debuffs after using Arcane Blast or Probability Field are entirely random.
* RealityWarping: Attacks have a 20% chance to miss her because of this passive power.
* SquishyWizard: Another GlassCannon, though her reality-warping powers make it more likely that her attackers will miss.
* UnpredictableResults: Basically the case for ''every'' aspect of Wanda's powers.
* WildCard: Her powers are somewhat unpredictable, especially "Probability Field," which may give an [[BlessedWithSuck unhelpful "buff"]] to a teammate or a [[CursedWithAwesome supremely useful "debuff"]] to an enemy. If you bring Wanda to a fight, you're bound to get at least one surprise.
-->'''Scarlet Witch''': That's the beauty of chaos magic, Tony. Nobody can plan for it. Sometimes not even me.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: Her whole schtick revolves making enemy attacks randomly miss or backfire, while granting them unknown debuffs and possibly giving your team buffs.

----
* ActionGirl
* BareYourMidriff: Her Classic costume.
* ChainLightning: Storm's Lightning attack inflicts a Static Charge debuff, which drains an opponent's health as long as an electric attack is used against their allies. She can also spread Static Charge to all her enemies at once with Lightning, if she has the Elemental Mastery buff.
* DarkSkinnedBlond
* LadyOfWar: She is very elegant and her attacks resemble a ritual dance.
* ElementalPowers: [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]], fog, [[AnIcePerson ice]], and [[BlowYouAway wind]].
* FlyingFirepower: She stays clear of her enemies and sends lightning and ice down on their heads.
* HappilyMarried: To the Black Panther.
* TornadoMove: Storm's ultimate power, also intended to be her finisher as it exploits and supports her lower-level moves.

* BarrierWarrior: his Fire Shield causes damage and lights everyone on fire when it's attacked.
* FlyingFirepower
* GratuitousJapanese: all of his attack names and passives.

-->"I don't know what those creatures wanted with me...and thanks to you, I'll never have to find out. If you'll help me understand this power I have, I'll help you in any way I can, Agent."
->''This mysterious being appeared during Thanos' invasion of Earth. What he is and where he came from remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: he holds tremendous power in his hands.''
----
* TheAtoner: Seeks to harness his new abilities for heroic purposes despite their macabre implications, and is determined not to be captured by the Black Order.
* BarrierWarrior: Can form Preservation force fields on allies, and starts a battle with such a field on him thanks to his Self-Preservation passive.
* CombatMedic: His Amber Field ability creates a Preservation field around an ally that blocks damage, removes and prevents debuffs, and heals when dispelled.
* HealingHands: Thane initially specialised in healing abilities. Then when Thanos came to Earth, his left hand turned out to be highly lethal instead, although he can still heal with the right hand.
* IAmAMonster: Experiences great despair after accidentally killing many with his newly-manifested lethal powers.
* KilledOffForReal: His attacks are all about manipulating life and death (the latter towards opponents, of course); Sealing Touch instantly defeats any opponent below 30% health, Black Hand prevents resurrection & healing effects, and enemies knocked out by Life and Death cannot be resurrected.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When his new abilities first manifested, Thane accidentally killed others instead of healing them (as was the case with his original abilities).
* StatusBuffDispel: His Black Hand attack inflicts the Nanoplague debuff, which removes and blocks most buffs.
* TakenForGranite: His original abilities have something to do with the preservative abilities of amber; in conjunction with his newfound killing touch, his basic Sealing Touch ability petrifies and eventually stun opponents on its third application.
* TouchOfDeath: So powerful that Thanos, the Titan obsessed with death, is greatly enamoured by his abilities. [[spoiler:No surprise there since Thane is supposed to be the son of Thanos.]]
* WhatHaveIBecome: His reception towards gaining powers of death is understandably less than enthusiastic.
!!Vision
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MAA_Vision_699.jpg
-->"Ultron gave me many powers, but the Avengers have given me the ability to choose how I use them. I choose to stand with you, Agent."
->''Ultron created his "vision of the future" as an android with the ability to modify his density, becoming either intangible or super-strong at a moment's notice. With the help of S.H.I.E.L.D., Vision broke free from his evil creator and joined the Avengers. Despite his analytical mind and artificial origins, he has proven himself to be a defender of humanity in all respects.''\\
\\
''Main article: TheVision''
----
* AIIsACrapShoot: After being defeated, it was found out he has human brain patterns them he is reprogrammed to have a conscience and ultimately rebels against his creator Ultron.
* BadassCape: And a bright yellow one at that.
* BrainUploading: He possessed the brain patterns of Simon Williams A.K.A. Wonder Man.
* ChargedAttack: Passively gains an Energy Charge every round, which increases the damage of his Blaster attacks.
* TheComicallySerious: Appears to be this, with his dignified and formal speaking style, but hints of a GentlemanSnarker seem to surface at times.
* TheComputerIsYourFriend: After his HeelFaceTurn.
* {{Cyborg}}
* {{EMP}}: Microwave Pulse acts as this when it applies Fried Circuits to targets with mechanical bodies, stunning them for an entire round and leaving them vulnerable to critical attacks.
* EyeBeams: Optic Beams fire lasers at enemy target and inflicts burning.
* FlyingFirepower: Literally, since he flies through manipulating his density and can shoot heat beams.
* GroundPound: General Relativity.
* HeelFaceTurn: You face him as a boss in Mission 1 of Spec Ops 8, before he teams up with you on the later two missions.
* IntangibleMan: Can Phase, either through his Density Shift passive or Intangible Fist ability.
* PowerCrystal: The Solar Jewel on his forehead absorbs solar ambient energy and can also shoot a beam much stronger than his Optic Beams that is guaranteed to crit against buring targets and exploits stun.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Whilst appearing to be robotic, Vision is actually a synthezoid, with simulated human brain patterns and hence cognition. His sentient mind also leads him to turn against his creator, Ultron, at the end of Spec Ops 8.
* {{Robosexual}}: Hinted at with his team-up bonus with Scarlet Witch "Cyber" which means their romantically linked.
* SlaveMook: Was compelled against his will to fight alongside Ultron initially.
* SpockSpeak
* StanceSystem: He starts off as a Blaster, but can switch at will between that class and Infilitrator, with entirely different movesets with his "Interface Switch" Level 2 ability. The Blaster interface makes him a Ranged specialist, while the Infilitrator interface makes him a Melee specialist.
* SuperToughness: His Density Shift passive makes him immune to bleeding.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: After the Scarlet Witch defeats Vision, Nick Fury and Tony Stark are bent on dismantling him completely. However, she appeals to S.H.I.E.L.D. not to do so, remarking that he is not a robot but a living being. She is proven right when further examination of Vision leads to discovery of his brain patterns.
