* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Referenced in-universe. He spent a while as the drill instructor for the X-Men's new recruits, and apparently his HealingFactor was one of his most useful qualifications. When you're giving a bunch of UnskilledButStrong young mutants with yet-to-be-tested impulse control their first taste of battle, it's nice to know that any training accidents will only ever be messy and embarrassing rather than tragic. Among other incidents, Molly 'Princess Powerful' Hayes (formerly of the Runaways) once punched his top half through the ceiling when he insulted her hat - he leaves it to the Hunter's imagination whether his bottom half followed him up.

* JackOfAllStats: Wolverine has well-rounded stats and is clearly designed to work as an attacker, a tank, and even a defensive wall. He has numerous damaging attacks that can either hit multiple enemies at once or aim at a single enemy for high damage, he can DrawAggro with several moves that inflict the taunt status, and he has multiple self-healing moves that allow him to function with minimal team support and work as a sacrificial wall in a pinch. His main weakness is that he's outclassed by other heroes in the roles he can fill, with Iron Man and Blade having better damage, Spider-Man having more mobility, Captain America acting as a more effective wall, and Nico having better healing capabilities.

* FragileSpeedster: While not the most durable character, he's able to use his abilities to speed up the gameplay, with most of his cards having the Quick attribute (which gives the player an extra card play if it KOs the enemy).

* BeyondRedemption: He was marked for death long before he became one of Lilith's Fallen, and he's the only one of them who nobody has any moral objection to killing. The Hunter only spares his life in their first encounter because they have no idea who he is, and [[spoiler:after his death, Wolverine is only upset that it was someone as young and (relatively) innocent as Magik who had to kill him - while for her part, Ilyana is as completely unbothered by the whole experience as you'd expect the Queen of Limbo to be.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: A Dark-aligned Hunter utilizes darkness to perform brutal-looking attacks and has various blunt, even caustic dialogue options, but they're still firmly on the side of good.



* HeroicWillpower: Manages to eventually overcome [[spoiler:Chthon's control]] through a combination of willpower and [[PowerofFriendship encouragement]] from the rest of the Midnight Suns.

* LightIsGood: A Light-aligned Hunter focuses on light-based attacks and support, and are firmly on the side of good.



* MasterOfAll: The Hunter is, bar none, the most versatile party member in the game, with an extremely diverse movepool that allows them to play any role the player wants and no real glaring weaknesses. The Hunter can specialise in Light to offer healing and Heroism generation, Dark for extremely powerful, high-damage attacks, Power for well-rounded offensive and defensive abilities, or mix and match any of the three to fill multiple roles at once.



* PowerLimiter: The collar the Hunter always wears allows them to contain and safely channel the demonic power they inherited from Lilith. [[spoiler: When it is shattered during the final battle, Hunter's powers are boosted considerably.]]

* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Her belief that the Avengers and Caretaker left Wanda for dead leads her to go to extreme lengths behind their back to save her. [[spoiler: Even after being confronted with Wanda's corruption into a Fallen, she refuses to listen to Hunter saying Wanda can't be reasoned with, because she just wants to save her friend.]]

* MoralMyopia: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that she's immature due to her life experiences, but she's the most combative against the Avengers. A major sticking point is that she views them as having completely given up on Wanda, a former Midnight Sun, despite Doctor Strange being the only one who particularly knows her. On the flipside she has ''absolutely'' NoSympathy for the Avengers' mental state after [[spoiler: Bruce, someone they've known ''far'' longer and have a stronger emotional connection to, is revealed to have been corrupted by Lilith. Ironically falling into the exact same "suck it up" mentality she accused them of having with her.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SupportPartyMember: Many of her cards allow her to benefit her teammates in some way, such as healing them back to full health, duplicating useful cards, buffing them with useful statuses, or inflicting debuffs on enemies. However, her damage output is very inconsistent by comparison, with all of her attacks either dealing random damage or hitting random targets.

* HulkSpeak: As usual, the Hulk speaks in broken English to show his brutish nature. [[spoiler:The fact he speaks with correct grammar while under Lilith's control is a sign that something is ''very'' wrong, and it's later revealed that Bruce was the one in control of the body, not Hulk.]]



* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Unlike the rest of the cast, you can't build friendship with the Hulk; as a tradeoff, his passive, which prevents him from getting injuries in combat, is always active.

Added DiffLines:

* LateCharacterSyndrome: Given that he's only obtained right before the final boss, at which point he won't have any upgrades, Hulk probably won't see much use in your typical playthrough. His tanking playstyle isn't particularly noteworthy either, as Captain America and Captain Marvel can also tank just as well, and you'll likely have either of them maxed out by that point. He's more useful in NewGamePlus (where he's available from the start), but he still has to contend with the two Captains for the tank spot.

* GuestStarPartyMember: Downplayed. She doesn't formally join the Midnight Suns, nor is she usable in battle at any point, but she briefly moves into the Abbey at the end of Storm's DLC, during which she has a unique icon and can be spoken to for lore details like most of the cast. She's gone by the next day.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Within the storyline, Blade is the best vampire hunters in the Marvel Universe. In the game, Vampyres suffer extra debuffs when they're hit with the "Bleed" status effect, which Blade excels in dishing out... so he's worth taking along on most Vampyre missions, even if he's not a RequiredPartyMember.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Since they're unfamiliar with the modern world, most of their conversations with other characters have them being filled in on what happened since their passing. At one point, the Hunter says that they were in a dreamlike state that allowed them to be vaguely aware of the changes, if not the fine details; for example, they're aware what a car is, but don't know how to drive one.

* WarriorTherapist: The Hunter spends about as much time helping the Midnight Suns deal with their myriad psychological issues as they do fighting Hydra and Lilith. They counsel Doctor Strange after the loss of the Sanctorum, teach Tony to work through his fear of magic and issues with control, help Robbie gain confidence in himself, and talk Eddie and Wanda through their anger and guilt at being exploited by Lilith.

* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: That's to be expected from the most well-known shield bearer in the Marvel universe. Several of his attacks, like Shield Bounce and SPANG!, have Cap throw the shield in at arc that makes it return to him.

* CrutchCharacter: Captain Marvel's Binary Form is extremely potent at the beginning of the campain, when most enemies won't be able to pierce through her wall of block, and she'l be able to quickly clear the map with her juiced-up offenses. As the game goes on-particularly on the higher difficulties-most enemies will quickly scale to the point where it only takes one or two hits to punch through her defenses and knock her out of Binary Form. She remains a viable tank thanks to cards like Bring 'Em On and Regroup, which lets her stack Resists and self-heal, but this playstyle cuts into her raw damage potential.
