* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was once an ordinary cop trying to keep the safe like any other. But she was traumatized by the events of ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'', where she was forced to shoot her own partner to prevent him from becoming a minion of Carnage. From then on, she became convinced of the SuperheroParadox, blaming Spider-Man in particular for bringing Carnage to Earth. After the passing of the Powers Act, Gao founds the Cape Killers specifically to capture as many superheroes and supervillains as she can, believing that the streets of New York will only be safe once all superpowered individuals are behind bars.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: She seems to genuinely believe that locking up every superpowered individual, superhero or not, is the only way to keep the streets of New York safe. But it's also clear that she has a particular vendetta against superheroes because of the trauma of having to MercyKill her partner before he came under Carnage's control back in ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'', making her particularly insistent on trying to take Miles and other superheroes in.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Jade was forced into being a BoxedCrook and just wants to go home to her family. She has no villainous qualities and only fights Miles because she's forced to, lest she be left in prison to rot. Despite her reluctance to fight and kind demeanor, her control over air makes her potentially the most dangerous member of the Cape Killers, as her control over wind is powerful enough to generate tornadoes and even suck the air out of people's lungs [[spoiler:as shown when Rabble uses the PoweredArmor she gave Gao to force the Cape Killers to push themselves to the breaking point.]]

It posthumously validates Miles' previous criticisms and accusations of racism as Gao has only ever gone after Black or Brown heroes(note that she never targeted Peter Parker, either of the Daredevils, or any other vigilante, and she is openly defying Luke Cage). Jade did nothing to warrant it other than simply violating the letter of the law which Gao is particularly selective in applying it to.

* ShadowArchetype: She is Miles' inverse in every way. Both of them are teenagers gifted with great intelligence and powers that enable them to do amazing things. Miles gained his powers through luck, but was surrounded by friends and family who taught him to harness these abilities for the sake of others even if it means sacrificing some of the happiness in his personal life. Raneem was born with her technopathic abilities and had a natural affinity for engineering and machinery from the start. But she lost her loving family and became tunnel visioned about the importance of her gifts, believing they made her better than those around her. After losing her chance to get into Brooklyn Visions, she becomes hyper-focused on the person she sees as the source of her misery, choosing to be selfish and entitled rather than responsible.
Added DiffLines:
* VillainousBreakdown: Raneem constantly talks about why her "gift" make her entitled to the things that Miles has, using it to justify her insane vendetta against him and his loved ones. She puts so much stock in her intelligence and technopathic abilities that she has a total meltdown once Miles slaps one of the PowerNullifier collars she took from the PDNY on her, negating her precious gifts. Raneem is paralyzed with shock after the voices of the machines she loves are silenced while asking why he would take away her gift.

It took one wedding attack and power grab from someone positioning themselves to become Kingpin or Queenpin and none of that had anything to do with the New York Street Level Vigilantes and again chooses to antagonize the Spider-Man who had little to nothing to do with the powderkeg.

* TheArmorer: She's the one responsible for outfitting Bumbler and Scorpion with more powerful gear, with her price being that they simply use it to ''kill Miles''' as soon as they have the opportunity. She also has been supplying many of the factions in New York such as Madame Masque, Hobgoblin, and Black Onyx to the point that she is technically is the tech supplier of New York's criminal underworld.

She also has been supplying many of the factions in New York such as Madame Masque, Hobgoblin, and Black Onyx to the point that she is technically is the tech supplier of New York's criminal underworld. After the events of ''ComicBook/GangWar2023'', Miles rallies his allies to locate her and bring her to justice simply because the technology she's arming New York's criminals with is becoming too dangerous to simply react to.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Subverted. Raneem tried to refurbish used cell phones to sell for cheap in an attempt to make money, but her efforts went unrewarded as people opted to buy the latest models instead. This is DoubleSubverted by the fact that she could clearly build an Iron Man-esque suit of PoweredArmor, seriously upgrade the tech of other supervillains, and hack into school databases on a limited budget but never thinks of trying to apply her skills to get into another technical high school when she loses the Brooklyn Visions lottery to Miles.
* DentedIron: She survives an enormous explosion at the end of her first climactic battle with Miles that he was certain killed her. But Raneem's overuse of her powers and the injuries she sustained damaged her brain and her technopathic abilities. This makes her gradually more irrational and frustrated at her diminishing abilities, seeking out the aid of Roderick Kingsley to help get her revenge and restore her powers.

* EvilIsPetty: Raneem's vendetta against Miles is this in spades. [[spoiler:Raneem was a TeenGenius from an impoverished family who needed to get into Brooklyn Visions Academy for a chance at a better education but lost to Miles in the student charter lottery by a single number. But instead of focusing her rage at the system she herself describes as unjust for pitting the futures of children on a literal gamble, she attacks ''Miles'' and kidnaps his loved ones for "stealing" what she believes [[EntitledBastard should've been rightfully hers.]] When Miles resorted to offering [[TakeMeInstead his own life]] in exchange for leaving his family alone, Rabble vehemently refused because that would still make Miles the "Hero" of the story and she won't accept ''any'' outcome that [[XMustNotWin doesn't involve him losing everything]].]]

* OnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: To a degree. Raneem always knew Miles was Spider-Man, and could have easily shared this information with others who are compelled to act on that information, but in the company of Hobgoblin, Scorpion, and Bumblebee, she keeps this knowledge to herself. She keeps Miles secret for herself and hates it when others interfere in their fight. She’ll plot against Miles and will even enlist others to attack him, but it has to be her that does it.

* EvilIsPetty: Agent Gao's beef with Miles also has shades of this. Gao is a [[FantasticRacism anti-super bigot]] who genuinely believes in the SuperheroParadox but was willing to let Miles walk away from a crime scene since he had just rescued a girl from being ran over. But since Miles refuses to stop fighting crime afterwards even after she had threatened to put him behind bars, Gao starts using '''ANY''' legal justification she can come up with [[InspectorJavert to arrest or harass him]] [[TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw even in situations where he should really be the]] ''[[TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw last]]'' [[TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw thing on her list of priorities.]] Following the events of ''ComicBook/GangWar2023'', she's so incensed by [[spoiler:Mayor Cage's dissolution of her Cape Killers program that she seeks out Rabble, an ArmsDealer and attempted murderer, for the means to take Spider-Man down.]]

* VetinariJobSecurity: Even if Mayor Cage had the ability to shut down Gao's operation and strip the woman of her badge, the radical rise in violent crime in the city brought about by the ComicBook/GangWar2023 compounded with the regular NYPD being [[PoliceAreUseless miserably ill-equipped]] to combat superhuman threats means that Gao is an irreplacable field asset in this time of crisis.

It's subverted at the end of the event, as Cage manages to rally enough support to repeal the Powers Act, putting Gao out of a job.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She seems to genuinely believe that locking up every superpowered individual, superhero or not, is the only way to keep the streets of New York safe. But it's also clear that she has a particular vendetta against superheroes because of the trauma of having to MercyKill her partner before he came under Carnage's control back in ''ComicBook/MaximumCarnage'', making her particularly insistent on trying to take Miles and other superheroes in.

** TookALevelInBadass: After getting one upped by Spider-Man and Miles going a bit too far in their third encounter, Bumbler has garnered his own provate military, a secondary henchmen, and new weaponry. He is still somewhat ineffectual, but no longer sympathetic as he is now embracing being a full-on supervillain.

* LogicalWeakness: Rabble can only control or override technology that requires an AI or some user interface via vocal command or mental command and appears to be limited to her own homemade tech. Anything else like Starling's Wings would require HollywoodHacking on her part as shown when she shut down Starling's wings, but she has shown to effectively shut down most tech immediately. However, if her enemy isn't reliant on technology like Miles, she would have to use bruteforce. Aside from her technopathic abolities, Raneem is just a normal human in some light armor.
