* MsFanservice: When you're initially conceived as a "flirtatious demi-goddess not afraid to take her clothes off" in [[UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode the 1970s]], you know you're destined to be this kind of character.

* BrilliantButLazy: As an Eternal, Eros has a godly amount of innate potential, but he'd rather refine his seduction abilities than train his body or mind to their fullest despite having millennia to do so. As he ruefully admits in ''Judgment Day'' while trying to change his ways, his summary as "somewhat successful adventurer" is an apt one. His older future self from ''Infinity Siblings'' overcame his laziness and became a more proactive hero, helping Adam Warlock and Pip the Troll to stop Future Thanos from assimilating the cosmic entities, and in the present day, despite being crippled and confined to a hoverchair, he effortlessly bosses around cosmic heavyweights when hunting down the host of the resurrected Thanos. A pity that [[TomatoInTheMirror it turned out to be him]]. After that death, he continues pushing on, eventually becoming Prime Eternal during ''Judgment Day'' as part of the peace faction, and [[spoiler: ceding the throne to Zuras and acting as his adviser, combining his innovation and diplomacy with Zuras' steady hand]]. Oh, and he's hinted several times to be potentially as powerful as Thanos in his own way.
* CainAndAbel: As a handsome, sociable hedonist, he is the polar opposite to his deformed, thoroughly evil brother Thanos. Although he's not always been presented as the most moral guy, it's a task to not look like a saint when Thanos is your sibling.

way - and there's reason to believe it. This is the guy who even ''before'' his CharacterDevelopment was considered dangerous enough by Thanos during the ''Infinity Gauntlet'' that he made a point of removing his mouth while allowing Mephisto to try his manipulations, and shortly before he died and TookALevelInBadass, successfully crippled and defeated Ultron-Pym - a universal scale threat - with a two word command: "Love yourself."
* CainAndAbel: As a handsome, sociable hedonist, he is the polar opposite to his deformed, thoroughly evil brother Thanos. Although It's true that he's not always been presented as the most moral guy, though in ''Eternals'' and ''Judgement Day'', it turns out that his experience in the Exclusion and a long time to think has drastically improved his sense of ehtics. However, it's a task to not look like a saint when Thanos is your sibling.



* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: He's drifted through life and, as he bitterly observes to a dead Thanos, he actually envied his psychotic brother because Thanos always knew what his purpose was - Eros didn't even have that. As of ''Judgment Day'', he seems to have found it, using his genuine charisma and powers to promote ThePowerOfLove as a unifying factor.

* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: He's drifted through life and, as he bitterly observes to a dead Thanos, he actually envied his psychotic brother because Thanos always knew what his purpose was - Eros didn't even have that. It's implied in ''Eternals'' that he did know, and it scared the hell out of him, to the point where he became a debauched hedonist to run away from his destiny as an AllLovingHero. As of ''Judgment Day'', he seems to have found accepted and embraced it, using his genuine charisma and powers to promote ThePowerOfLove as a unifying factor.



* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Quite literally, in fact. Turns out that using his love based powers as a LivingAphrodisiac is him ''massively'' underperforming and it's more about bringing togetherness. When he decides to live up to his potential, the flip side is that he's an exceptional empath and a peerless diplomat, capable of brokering planetary deals and galactic alliances, and that it's not just people he can bring together - hydrogen atoms, for instance. Cue fusion.

And even before took that level in badass, he took down Ultron-Pym, who had assimilated Titan, defeated the Avengers with zero effort, and was on the verge of assimilating the universe, with his powers and two words: "Love yourself." This sent Ultron-Pym screaming off into space in [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horror]].



* PowerPerversionPotential: He has the power to control the emotions of others. In one ''ComicBook/SheHulk'' arc, a suit was brought against him by some, including She-Hulk herself, who may have been forced into sex with him thanks to his powers.

As it turns out, she wasn't, but she ''was'' forced into her infatuation with John Jameson that led to marriage.

Not a character trope. Moving to the X-Men Red page.


* AppleOfDiscord: A timed key (one hour) to his prison becomes this in [[ComicBook/XMenRed2022 the Genesis War]], as it was gifted to the mutants by Zuras as a gesture of goodwill after the events of ''A.X.E. Judgment Day'' to be used as they see fit. Unfortunately, the schism during this story arc had its usage as one of the primary points of contention between the Brotherhood and the Great Ring of Arakko, eventually prompting Storm to destroy it as while she could never bring herself to release Uranos, she could no longer trust the people around her to similarly resist.
