** The man once known as [[FromNobodyToNightmare Alveus]], upon [[Characters/MCUTheKree Kree]] experimentation, was forever transformed into "[[HiveMind Hive]]." Through sheer intellect and force of will, Hive drove the Kree from earth, rallying all [[Characters/MCUInhumans Inhumans]] to his side in the process, and though banished from earth by treacherous followers, Hive nonetheless [[Characters/MCUHYDRALeadership laid the groundwork]] for the formation of [[Characters/{{MCUHYDRA}} HYDRA]], the death cult organization that has haunted the world for centuries after. In the present, Hive manipulates himself back to earth with help from Gideon Malick, and immediately amasses a small following of Inhumans. Using Malick before murdering him once he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlives his usefulness]], Hive stays one step ahead of S.H.I.E.L.D. throughout the series, even turning Daisy Johnson to his side and using her as a mole. Though driven temporarily insane, Hive is revealed to have exaggerated even this as a plot to be captured, then use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own devices to enact his final plan of turning a chunk of humanity into Inhumans so as to create a perfect, peaceful paradise. Hive's final moments are spent calmly reflecting that [[WellIntentionedExtremist he truly wanted what was best for Inhumans]], and dies realizing and admitting that perhaps humanity isn't as deserving of destruction as he once thought.

* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' & ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'': [[Characters/MCUYonduUdonta Yondu Udonta]], a former Kree battle slave and later Ravager, was hired to kidnap the children of [[Characters/MCUEgoTheLivingPlanet Ego]] to deliver them to him for a fortune. Upon realizing the children were being murdered, Yondu rescued the last of them, [[Characters/MCUStarLord Peter Quill]], and raised him as a [[ParentsAsPeople flawed but devoted father]]. Yondu proceeds to hunt down the Power Stone in Peter's possession, keeping a step ahead of nearly everyone before showing little but pride in Peter swapping the Stone out for a troll doll. After a mutiny in the second film, Yondu is able to almost singlehandedly avenge his loyalists and wipe out his enemies before heading to save Peter from Ego and ultimately proves instrumental in stopping the mad Celestial. Acknowledging Peter as his true son, Yondu chooses to [[HeroicSacrifice give his life for Peter]], honored at the end with a funeral as a true Ravager.

* [[TheWatcher Uatu the Watcher]] is a charming, witty cosmic being in charge of surveying the multiverse. Uatu is a ruthless manipulator who punishes Strange Supreme for his misdeeds by leaving him alone at the end of his universe. Uatu later recruits the Guardians of the Multiverse to stop the omncidal aims of Infinity Ultron. Using the Guardians to lure Ultron back into his own world, Uatu arranges events for Zola to destroy him. Uatu also smartly foresees in advance that Prince Killmonger would try to steal Ultron's Infinity Stones and planned to have Killmonger and Zola clash for them, [[SealedEvilInADuel perpetually trapping them in crystal]]. Uatu also brings the Black Widow of Ultron's timeline and uses her to stop King Loki. Uatu later acts as an advisor for Captain Carter and intentionally leaves out what Strange Supreme has planned for her to allow Strange to revive his world at the cost of his life.

* "[[Recap/WhatIfS2E1WhatIfNebulaJoinedTheNovaCorps What If... Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?]]": [[Characters/MCUNebula Nebula]], a child of Thanos, keeps her mainline counterpart's efficiency while lacking the tragic machinations of her mental state. Joining the [[Characters/MCUNovaEmpire Nova Corps]], Nebula aims to keep to the side of peace, a job she repeatedly holds to even when Xandar has been turned to a WretchedHive. Investigating a plot of the possible threat of an invasion, Nebula uses both ingenuity and combat efficiency to advance, with her eventually breaking the criminal Yon-Rogg free and releasing the other prisoners to initiate a riot to allow them to escape. Despite being betrayed by Nova Prime and Yon-Rogg and almost killed, it's revealed their betrayal would've been for naught as Nebula had rigged the key that would've allowed Ronan to invade to instead backfire and destroy his ship.
* "[[Recap/WhatIfS2E3WhatIfHappyHoganSavedChristmas What If... Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?]]": The Justin Hammer who faces off against The Freak is [[AdaptationalIntelligence far more intelligent]] and charming than his Sacred Timeline counterpart. Hammer infiltrates and disables the security of Stark Industries and turns the Iron Legion into his own personal army. Hammer intends to steal Tony's Hulk formula and use it to become a superhero to revive his reputation and company. Hammer runs circles around the heroes and foils Maria Hill's attempts to apprehend him by sending in his robots to intercept her. Hammer also lures Happy Hogan/The Freak into a trap, planning to kill him and harvest his body which contains the serum. When foiled, Hammer [[CrazyPrepared reveals that he had kept the Hulkbuster Armor as a precaution]] and uses it to nearly defeat the Freak. Hammer stays a [[BewareTheSillyOnes funny, charming villain]] throughout the episode and even takes his defeat with mere bemusement.
