* BadassBoast: Many, many times. Probably the most audacious example is [[spoiler: Phobos, the child god of fear, delivering a Reason You Suck Speech to Normon Osborn, the former GreenGoblin after he offered to bribe him with toy trucks. After Phobos has well and truly messed up Osborn with his mind, he delivers two amazing parting lines. You don't f*ck with Nick Fury, and you DO NOT f*ck with the god of fear. Made even better by the fact that Osborn starts the exchange by threatening him and saying that he's in too deep for a child.]]

* BreakoutCharacter: Compared to the others, Daisy is this. The rest of the team has faded into obscurity, but Daisy has became a fairly well-known member of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s regular agents, was briefly its director, and has made the jump into the Franchice/MarvelCinematicUniverse as one of the leads in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' (and, arguably, the main character of said show). Now with ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' introducing the MCU's own version of the ''Secret Warriors'', Daisy is the only member from the comic in the team, while the rest are CanonForeigner originals (at least, so far).

* BizarroEpisode: In the Secret Warriors ''Siege'' crossover Alex/Phobos blames the President for his father's (Ares) murder by The Sentry and proceeds to Washignton to kill him. Although the President is unharmed Phobos, a child for whom Nick Fury is responsible, kills numerous Secret Service agents.

* [[CloakandDagger Cloak and Dagger]]: Nick sneaks into Obama's office IN THE FIRST ISSUE!
* CloudCuckooLander: A mild case in Druid. For example; after Yo-Yo has her arms cut off, Druid is more worried about Yo-Yo's body image then her emotional trauma, he didn't understand why Daisy was angry with him after crashing their plane, etc, etc. A small quirk.
* CrazyPrepared: The Fury Files
* DeadPersonImpersonation: The[[spoiler: Kraken]] is apparently this, explaining how he could be dying six years prior and be around at the present. The flashback that explains this also shows that the helmet extrudes an armor.
* DishingOutDirt: Daisy Johnson, field commander of the team, can cause earthquakes.

* FacelessGoons: Guess, I dare you
* FemmeFatale: Valentina de la Fontaine.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Alex's power, being the God of Fear.
* HandiCappedBadAss: Gorgon. Although this is probably a PowerLimiter
* TheLancer: Daisy "Quake" Johnson.
* LegacyCharacter: All the caterpillars are the children of villains or former villains. Daisy is the daughter Dr Hyde, Yo-Yo is the daughter of the Griffen, Stonewall is the son of [[spoiler: Absorbing Man]], Phobos is the son of Ares, Druid is the son of Dr Druid. The ones that aren't related directly are connected to other characters, J.T to {{ComicBook/GhostRider}}, Eden Fesi to the mutant Gateway.

* LivingLieDetector: the Howling Commandos and HYDRA employ psychics
* LovecraftianSuperpower: Hive and apparently Leviathan. The former is similar to Davy Jones from PiratesOfTheCaribbean

* PutOnABus: Sebastian is kicked off the team by Nick for incompetence.
* RedshirtArmy: HYDRA
** [[spoiler: Dugan's Howling Commandos are eventually completely wiped out]]
* {{Reincarnation}}: Alex and Ares, because a mortal lifetime is not long enough to raise a god.
* RepetitiveName: J.T.'s full name is James Taylor James.
* SealedArmyInACan: [[spoiler: The reason why (all) 100,000 members of Leviathan disappeared overnight]]
* SealedOrders: Daisy's team disperses this way in issue 13.
* SelfDestructMechanism: used when Dark Avengers get inside a Fury base.
* SlapSlapKiss: JT and Daisy, but they are now a couple.
* SlidingScaleofIdealismVersusCynicism: The Secret Warriors (especially Jerry) want to be TrueCompanions who band together to save the day. Nick Fury points out every chance he gets that this is not that kind of story.
* TheSpymaster: Obviously
* SpyVersusSpy: HYDRA, HAMMER, Fury's group, and now Leviathan
* StateSec: Leviathan seems to have been this for Russia at one point.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: Eden is the former, HYDRA uses the latter.
* TookALevelInBadass: The entire HYRDA organization.

** Now revealed that [[spoiler: Fury knew this all along and in fact had been manipulating HYDRA and Strucker]]. And so the GambitPileup begins.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Viper has this as a near death experience/flashback before she's resurrected]]
* TheWarRoom: Multiple, as Fury has numerous private bases around the world.
* WasItAllALie: [[spoiler: issue 15, Nick has this with Valentina in the [[MexicanStandoff restaurant]], reflecting that in the past he would have tried to kill her]]
* WorfEffect: JT gets knocked out in nearly every fight, it's just about a running gag.
* ZergRush[=/=]WeHaveReserves: Pretty much standard procedure for HYDRA. May have changed after Strucker destroyed a base with 15,000 agents in it. The guy really doesn't like Skrulls...
