History Fanfic / AvengersOfTheMultiverse

* DumbassHasAPoint: Downplayed in that he's not much of an idiot anymore, but even ''Drakken'' was surprised at how incompetent the Guys in White were [[spoiler:when Vortex and Undergrowth attacked their base]].

** In ''Night of the Beyond'', in retaliation for being the only ghost of Danny's RoguesGallery to not be recruited by the Cabal, the Box Ghost goes to the Avengers to warn them of their activities. Of course, he's not crazy enough to fight the Cabal, knowing he'd be in over his head.

* PragmaticVillainy: While Operatives O and K hate ghosts and Phantom just as much as most of the Guys in White personnel, even after he saved the world, in ''Forces of Nature'' they point out that Danny's aforementioned saving of the world [[OneHundredPercentHeroismRating has granted him a]] ''[[OneHundredPercentHeroismRating lot]]'' [[OneHundredPercentHeroismRatting of public support]], and if they make a move against him and his allies and don't succeed, it could result in them losing their funding, or even being shut down. Agent Alpha disregards their worries as something for the P.R. department, but they don't get a chance to try before Vortex and Undergrowth show up.

* WhatAnIdiot: InUniverse, the other Avengers basically quote this when they learn of the circumstances that led to Vlad exposing his true nature during "Phantom Planet"; Kim explicitly states that even some of her villains would have a back-up plan to something that big rather than [[AllOrNothing pin everything on a single scheme]].

* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: In ''Forces of Nature'', when Undergrowth and Vortex attack the Guys in White's headquarters, Agent Alpha decided to have them use their experimental Anti-Ecto Converter. [[spoiler:Deconstructed in that it doesn't work]].

* WizardDuel: One occurs during the battle in Atlantis in ''Dawn of the Dragons'', between Max and the summoned ghost of Atlantis' archmage.
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler: The Cabal, especially Goliath, easily overwhelm the Avengers in their first major fight. By the second, the team has managed to figure out how to turn the tables.]]

** [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] regarding Vilgax, as he's not so much gaining, but rather 'regaining' [[VillainDecay lost levels]]. In his appearance in Episode 5, he has restored his cybernetic enhancements from the original series while retaining his sword from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce''. The result is terrifyingly effective, with it requiring most of the team to push him back and a CombinationAttack from Danny and Ben, two of the Avenger's strongest members, to actually defeat him.

** Kim also playfully teases Illana by bringing up her obvious crush on Lance.

-->'''[[spoiler:Breach]]''': You talk too much. You know that, right?

* HijackingCthulhu: In ''Night of the Beyond'', [[spoiler:The Cabal is harnessing Dagon's power as he tries to reform, and combines it with the Infi-Map to gain access to Legerdomain so that they may take advantage of his resurrection and turn him into their LivingWeapon.]]

** Later, [[spoiler:Hex makes a HeroicSacrifice that successfully destroys Dagon for good.]]

* DivideAndConquer: [[spoiler: Goliath is finally defeated by the Titan team exploiting Shego and Baron's dislike of each other and Novex, eventually causing their combination to fall apart.]]

** [[spoiler:Goliath is defeated partially because Baron and Shego were arguing so much that Goliath was unable to operate at full efficiency, even coming apart completely at one point.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Dagon is stopped once and for all but at the cost of Hex's life. Not only that, the Cabal still escaped, taking Ledgerdomain's Alpha Rune with them, and the consequences of Dagon's resurrection will spring up in the future. However, the Avengers gained new members and they all resolve to protect the Multiverse from the Cabal's machinations.]]

* AbilityMixing: In Chapter 4 of ''Night of the Beyond'', the Cabal's leaders [[spoiler:combine the Infi-Map's powers with Dagon's energy to allow them to breach the defenses that Charmcaster has put up over Legerdomain]]. Then in Chapter 6, the Cabal's magical experts combine their different abilities in order to [[spoiler: channel a control spell through Charmcaster in order to impose it on the reforming Dagon]].
* AdaptationExpansion: When [[spoiler: Breach]] returns, her backstory is discussed in detail, which was never covered in canon.

* ApeShallNotKillApe: Averted. When it's questioned by Drakken if Argost is upset by fighting the ghostly Yetis of the Far Frozen during the Cabal's assault, Argost replies that not only do humans regularly slaughter each other without batting an eye, he's also killed one of his own kind before[[note]]referring to the cryptid who had known him before he doned his human disguise[[/note]], so this is nothing new to him.

* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: Breach]], last seen in ''Deus Rex Machina'' in Season 1, returns in Chapter 2 of ''Night of the Beyond''.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Modula says this in reference to [[spoiler: Charmcaster]] after taking her prisoner.

* NotMeThisTime: In ''Night of the Beyond'', the Cabal isn't actually ''causing'' the HatePlague incidents, that's [[spoiler:Dagon's essense]], but they're still taking advantage of them for their own plans.
* OhCrap: Ben's reaction in ''Night of the Beyond'' when he realizes that the energy being used by the Cabal's mystics is [[spoiler: Dagon's essence]].

** Inverted when [[spoiler: Breach]] defeats Van Kleiss but refuses to finishes him off, stating that only Rex has that right.

** During the fight in the Naga city in ''Night of the Beyond'', Rani Nagi is ranting about killing the Avengers when in response [[spoiler: Breach]] redirects several attacks by the [[spoiler: Esoterica]] into her, knocking her off a ledge.

* HeroicSacrifice: In the climax of ''Night of the Beyond'', [[spoiler:in order to stop Dagon from coming back again, or the Cabal trying to ''bring'' him back again, Hex has himself infused with Dagon's energy and sent to the Unworld, knowing that he'll die, but that Dagon will be either destroyed or trapped in the Unworld forever, with Clockwork later confirming the latter.]]

* CanonWelding: A few examples show up in ''Night of the Beyond''.

* EvilIsNotAToy: In ''Night of the Beyond'', Frostbite lampshades that Vlad has a tendency to try to harness powerful forces and beings only for the attempt to blow up in his face, and so rejects his EnemyMine offer to deal with [[spoiler:Dagon]].

* HeroicSacrifice: In the climax of ''Night of the Beyond'', [[spoiler:Hex, in order to stop Dagon from coming back again, or the Cabal trying to ''bring'' him back again, Hex has himself infused with Dagon's energy and sent to the Unworld, knowing that he'll die, but that Dagon will be either destroyed or trapped in the Unworld forever, with Clockwork later confirming the latter.]]

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Charmcaster suffers one when the Cabal comes calling to Legerdomain, with each BigBad pitching in to lay on the pain even after she's beaten and trying to get away.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler:Averted. Hex declares he doesn't care if Addwaitya is killed by his own hands or the Avengers, just so long as he meets his end]].

* ShutUpHannibal: During the fight in the Naga city in ''Night of the Beyond'', Rani Nagi is ranting about killing the Avengers when in response [[spoiler: Breach]] redirects several attacks by the [[spoiler: Esoterica]] into her, knocking her off a ledge.

* ApeShallNotKillApe: Averted. When it's questioned by Drakken if Argost is upset by fighting the ghostly Yetis of the Far Frozen during the Cabal's assault, Argost replies that not only do humans regularly slaughter each other without batting an eye, he's also killed one of his own kind before, so this is nothing new to him.

* BigWhat: Believe it or not, Max was actually stupefied by ''Box Ghost'' of all beings upon learning about the time he took [[PublicDomainArtifact Pandora's Box]] (or rather, his dimension's version of it). Tucker explains it's a long story and not to ask about it.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Dagon is stopped once and for all but at the cost of Hex's life.]] [[spoiler:Not only that, the Cabal still escaped and the consequences of Dagon's resurrections will spring up in the future.]] [[spoiler:However, the Avengers gained new members and they all resolve to protect the Multiverse from the Cabal's machinations.]]

** [[spoiler:This is later lampshaded by Dagon himself in his fight with Max and Titan, saying that the Cabal is merely mortal, and

* AbilityMixing: In Chapter 4 of ''Night of the Beyond'', The Cabal leaders [[spoiler:combine the Infi-Map's powers with Dagon's energy to allow them to breach the defenses that Charmcaster has put up over Legerdomain.]]

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: In ''Night of the Beyond'', the Cabal manages to [[spoiler:harness Dagon's energy and turn a number of captive humans, as well as magical creatures from Jake's world, into Esoterica.]]

* YouCantThwartStageOne: In ''Night of the Beyond'', the HatePlague and the elemental monsters' attack are evidently Phase 1 of the Cabal's new plan. By the time the Avengers even realize they're involved, they're already simultaneously carrying out Phases 2 and 3. [[spoiler:By the time that the heroes take down the Esoterica, the Cabal leaders have already made it to Legerdomain using the Infi-Map and Dagon's power.]]
