* RunningGag: Each time he writes a scene at a police station, there are some cops in the background detaining some nutcase, cosplayed as a superhero and shouting nonsenses, which actually make reference to some comic book event elsewhere (for example, a Scarlet Witch shouting "[[ComicBook/HouseOfM No more mutants! No more mutants!]]", or a Carol Danvers shouting "[[ComicBook/CivilWar Choose your side! Choose your side!]]"). In Defenders 9, the nutcase is modeled after him, and shouts "A 17-year running gag is not easy to pull off!"

* ArtShift: He likes experimenting with it. In many his titles, scenes that happen in [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks past]] [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks eras]] actually imitate the art styles of when those scenes would have taken place. In DarkAvengers, scenes that happens in Norman Osborn's mind are illustrated by Greg Horn, instead of comics regular artist, Mike Deodato Jr, and in ''Mighty Avengers'' scenes in the middle ages are painted by Marko Djurdjevic in order to imitate old frescoes.

Due to massive misuse zero context examples and questionable examples for this trope are being purged.This deals with cases where a character is visibly old and is still portrayed as attractive. If this examples fits the trope then re-add with context making that explicitly clear. Do not confuse this trope for Hollywood Old, Older Than They Look, or Really Seven Hundred Years Old. Do not use this trope for personally or fan\'s opinions about a character\'s attractiveness.

* AcceptableTargets: In-Universe, Male chauvinists in ''Mighty Avengers'' and once in ''New Avengers'' - Ares and his views of women are used for pure comedic reason. When Ares joined the DarkerAndEdgier team of Dark Avengers, this was quickly dropped.
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In-Universe, Bendis's take on Scarlet Witch.
* AnyoneCanDie: Bendis' stories tend to have high body counts, with Bendis being quite open with the joy he takes in killing off popular second and third string characters. Sometimes, it's because he doesn't like the character (Vision), had prior plans to kill the character (Scott Lang), or doesn't want to deal with the character, but a lot of the time, it seems he just does it because he ''can'' (Wasp [[spoiler:and recently Ares]]).
* ArtShift: He likes experimenting with it. In many his titles, scenes that happen in [[SilverAge past]] [[BronzeAge eras]] actually imitate the art styles of when those scenes would have taken place. In DarkAvengers, scenes that happens in Norman Osborn's mind are illustrated by Greg Horn, instead of comics regular artist, Mike Deodato Jr, and in ''Mighty Avengers'' scenes in the middle ages are painted by Marko Djurdjevic in order to imitate old frescoes.
* {{Badass}}: ARES
* BreakTheCutie: Jessica Jones, Spider-Woman, Daredevil, and Tigra. And poor poor White Tiger, who [[spoiler: is murdered in cold blood by a police officer after being falsely accused of murder]]
* BuffySpeak: Fond of doing this with teenagers in UltimateSpiderMan, as well as the 616 version of Spidey.

%% Lets' save the "crowning" opinions for the "crowning" opinion pages, please.
%% This is not an editorial.

* DecompressedComic: The poster boy. Sometimes, it works, sometimes not so much.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Scott Lang, who Bendis killed off in the opening pages of his Avengers run by way of having a ''zombie'' Jack Of Hearts suicide bomb him.
* EtTuBrute: Everyone's reaction to Iron Man in New Avengers and Mighty Avengers since Civil War. Also "Hank Pym's" betrayal of Captain America in New Avengers #21 when Captain America tried to recruit him to fight Iron Man.
* FollowTheLeader: Bendis's ultra-decompressed WritingForTheTrade writing style was forced upon all Marvel writers in the early '00s, to the point that GeoffJohns quit writing the Avengers rather than endure being forced to copy Bendis' writing style.
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: 'Sup, Ultimateverse May?
* MrsRobinson: Aunt May in Ultimate Spider-Man
* PrivateEyeMonologue used as a part of Alias noir-ish stylings.
* TookALevelInBadass: The Skrull Empire, who through a miracle, Bendis was able to turn from being the punching bag of the Marvel Universe, into a truly legitimate threat to Earth. At least until the EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion trope kicked in.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Norman Osborn in ''Dark Reign''.
