!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/RachelWeisz[[labelnote:Foreign voice actors]]Carla Medina (Latin American Spanish dub), Creator/AtsukoTanaka (Japanese dub), Élida L'Astorina (Brazilian Portuguese dub)[[/labelnote]]
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}''

A spy and assassin who has undergone Red Room training five times.

* ActionGirl: She can fight just as well as Natasha, Yelena, and Alexei.
* ActionMom: Melina is an assassin, a scientist, as well as the adoptive mother of Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Her comic counterpart is a villain, while here, she's portrayed as Natasha and Yelena's adoptive mother who still cares about them. [[spoiler:Seemingly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when she betrays Natasha, Yelena, and Alexei to the Red Room... then it's [[DoubleSubversion revealed]] that it was actually a plan to get them in to shut the operation down.]]
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the comics, Melina is a younger rival to Natasha, being envious after years of growing up in her shadow. This version of Melina is much older than Natasha and serves as a surrogate mother figure to both her and Yelena, and they ultimately remain on good terms.
* AgeLift: Is explicitly stated to be younger than Natasha in the comics, but is old enough to be her adoptive mother in the film.
* BadassNormal: Melina does not have superpowers, but she is still a deadly martial artist.
* BattleCouple: She and Alexei Shostakov genuinely care for one another, even during the most precarious times.
* BeneathTheMask: Her cold cynical exterior shows genuine cracks from time to time. [[spoiler:When Natasha discovers Melina kept the scrapbook of her and Yelena pretending to take photos of holidays, Melina admits she did it for a sense of comfort.]]
* BrainyBrunette: She's a brilliant scientist with dark brown hair.
* BrokenBird: Just like Natasha and Yelena, her time as a spy and Red Room agent has made her bitter and untrusting.
* ChubbyChaser: Is still ''very'' much attracted to Alexei, and if anything, it seems to be ''because'' of [[StoutStrength the current shape he's in]], not in spite of it.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodeNames: She is never referred to by the "Iron Maiden" codename she bears in the comics.
* CompositeCharacter: This version of Melina is a Black Widow agent who was involved with the Red Guardian, aspects taken from the comic version of Natasha.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite having dark hair and her tendency of wearing dark clothing, Melina is a kind and loving mother to her adoptive daughters.
* DeadpanSnarker: Melina can make some sassy statements that rival those of both Natasha and Yelena.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She was perfectly fine developing a mind control method for Dreykov, largely for her own MadScientist inclinations, but discovering he was using it to control Yelena and other Widows is a large part of what causes her to turn against him.
* FakeAmerican: InUniverse. Melina and Alexei both put on American accents during their time undercover in Ohio. Melina briefly [[OohMeAccentsSlipping exposes her natural Russian accent]] when Alexei tells her in private that they have to leave.
* GeniusBruiser: Primarily a handler, strategist and scientist, and Alexei points out that she was mainly the brains of their previous missions together while he did the heavy work. Despite this, she's still a Black Widow, and is fully capable of handling herself in a fight, even managing to get the drop on Taskmaster at one point.
* GoodWearsWhite: She wears a white tactical suit during her mission of terminating the Red Room.
* MadScientist: Came up with the brainwashing method used by Dreykov. She uses this on pigs at her home/research station, even ordering a pig to ''stop breathing'' to demonstrate its potency. After Dreykov's death, Natasha saves a final vial of the serum's antidote and suggests that Melina try to replicate its formula.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Both times we see her significantly injured (once while being shot on the plane during their "family" escape in the 1990s, then later in the aftermath of the crashing of the Red Room fortress), she reacts with nothing but mild irritation at worst.
* MamaBear: Much like Alexei, Melina does genuinely love Natasha and Yelena as daughters, and is ultimately willing to take on the Red Room to protect them.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Yelena reveals that she and other Widows were placed under mind control by the serum she developed, Melina is shocked and remorseful.
* NoSympathy: Zig-zagged. As a result of undergoing Red Room training ''five times'', Melina's outward care for other creatures was ground into dust. She orders one of her pigs to stop breathing for almost a minute, all while showing no concern for the creature's wellbeing, merely scientific excitement. Melina later asks Natasha how she "kept her heart", like she's read about hearts in books but never witnessed one herself. However, it is ultimately shown that she genuinely cares for Natasha and Yelena - she's just not really capable of properly showing it in any normal way.
* OlderThanTheyLook: In 2016, she doesn't look that much older than she was in 1995.
* SpyCatsuit: Dons the standard Black Widow catsuit just before Dreykov's goons show up to apprehend everyone. [[spoiler:She'd actually swapped clothes with Natasha as part of their plan, meaning she spends the climax of the movie in Natasha's white suit.]]
* UndercoverAsLovers: With Alexei in 1995, as they posed as a married couple in order to steal information from HYDRA loyalists within S.H.I.E.L.D. To strengthen the ruse they were given Natasha and Yelena to pose as their daughters, and stayed for three years before stealing the data. Despite commenting on Alexei's weight gain, she still appreciates how he looks.
* YouAreFat: She tells Alexei that he's gotten fat since the last time they saw each other, though she adds that he still looks good.

!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/TomokazuSeki (Japanese dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' | ''Series/{{Secret Invasion|2023}}''

An international smuggler, private contractor and collaborator of Natasha Romanoff and Nick Fury.

* AdvertisedExtra: Despite getting his own character poster, Mason only shows up in a few short scenes of ''Black Widow''.
* TheBusCameBack: When he reappears in ''Secret Invasion'' to support Nick Fury, after most of a decade in-universe since the events of ''Black Widow'' (as well as the concurrent ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Civil War]]'').
* TheFixer: Introduced having brought Natasha supplies and a set of fake [=ID=]s. He later appears in ''Series/{{Secret Invasion|2023}}'' to lend Fury an airplane to Finland.
* RaceLift: In the comic books, Rick Mason is Caucasian, whereas the MCU version is black.
* RedHerring: Before ''Black Widow'''s release, some fans theorized that he was the true identity of Taskmaster, which was backed up by a number of the few scenes Rick appeared in. [[spoiler:Turns out, they were wrong, as Taskmaster turns out to [[SamusIsAGirl actually be a woman]].]]
* TwoFirstNames: "Rick" and "Mason" are both popular given names.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: In the comics, Rick Mason is the son of Phineas Mason aka the Tinkerer. No evidence of that is present here, and indeed, given Rick's RaceLift and the fact that their actors are of similar ages, it's probably not the case.

Clint Barton's wife.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Laura's blonde in ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'' but a brunette in the MCU. She also has brown eyes instead of blue.
* AdaptationalBadass: Laura is a normal wife and mother in the comics. [[spoiler:She is a retired agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the MCU.]]
* AscendedExtra: Like Doctor Cho, Laura is a very minor character in the comics, and was killed after only a handful of issues.
* BackFromTheDead: She gets killed by the Snap in the beginning of ''Avengers: Endgame'' and comes back thanks to Bruce Banner at the end of it.
* BrainyBrunette: [[spoiler:Laura is a former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. with investigating skills, fluency in German, and brown hair.]]
* CompositeCharacter: The finale of ''Hawkeye'' shows her to be [[spoiler:the owner of a S.H.I.E.L.D. watch marked "19", implying she has been combined with Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird, Clint's ex-wife in the comics, who [[Characters/MCUSHIELDTeamCoulson also exists]] in the MCU]].
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her hair and eyes are both brown.
* GratuitousGerman: In the fourth episode of ''Hawkeye'', Laura briefly switches to speaking German to her husband to talk about some of the loose ends he's been cleaning up.
* HappilyMarried: Laura lives on a farm with their children, far away from danger and not even in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s records (courtesy of Directory Fury himself). This situation is why Clint is the most stable and personally fulfilled out of the Avengers.
* HiddenDepths: ''Hawkeye'' reveals she has some investigative experience and is fluent in German. [[spoiler:This is because, like her husband, she is a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.]]
* TheLostLenore: Her death makes Clint go revenge-crazy in ''Endgame'' and he ultimately brings her back.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: As the start of ''Endgame'' reveals, she was disintegrated along with half the universe after Thanos completed the Infinity Gauntlet. Then she was blipped back into existence five years later.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Because of the Snap, she's five years younger than her actual age.
* RetiredBadass: [[spoiler:As a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, this is pretty much a given.]]
* SparedByTheAdaptation: She and her children are thankfully avoiding the fate of [[ComicBook/TheUltimates their comic book counterparts]] being murdered by [[TheMole this universe's Black Widow]].
* UnderstandingBoyfriend: GenderInverted. She's fully aware of Clint's work for S.H.I.E.L.D. and supports him even if it means he's away from the family. ''Hawkeye'' establishes that she also knows about his previous run-ins with the Tracksuit Mafia and why he needs to deal with them before coming home. [[spoiler:The end of the show reveals why Laura understands Clint so well - she [[RetiredBadass was also a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent]].]]
* WetBlanketWife:
** Inverted. Clint worries that his life as a superhero is an unwelcome strain on his wife, but she shoots that idea down and supports the fact that he's needed for something so important.
--->'''Laura Barton:''' You know I totally support your avenging. I couldn't be prouder.
** Taken even further in ''Series/{{Hawkeye|2021}}'', where she acts as a sounding board, doing research and computer work for Clint and even [[spoiler:figuring out what the Tracksuit Mafia is after: an antique Rolex Clint thought had been destroyed.]]
* YouAreNumberSix: [[spoiler:The codename she used during her S.H.I.E.L.D. days is "Agent 19".]]

!!!'''Species:''' Enhanced human (Mental construct)

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Jett Klyne, Gavin Borders (age 5)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/WandaVision''

--> ''"Next stop: Cavity Town!"''

Wanda and Vision's son and Billy's older fraternal twin brother.

* AdaptationalContextChange: In the comics, Tommy is named for Phineas ''Thomas'' Horton, creator of the ComicBook/HumanTorch1939, whose body [[ContinuitySnarl was (or wasn't)]] used to create the Vision. Due to the changes in Vision's origin in the MCU, Horton has no relevance to the Vision (although his existence was teased in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''). Instead, Wanda decides that Tommy is the perfect name for TheAllAmericanBoy she wants her son to be.
* TheAllAmericanBoy: Wanda decides upon the name "Tommy" as in her eyes it's the perfect, All-American boy's name.
* AlternateSelf: Has a variant on [[Characters/MCUEarth838 Earth-838]].
* AmbiguousSituation:
** His and Billy's shared ability to magically age themselves up is something that could be explained by either Billy's RealityWarper nature, Tommy's SuperSpeed, or some other, unknown power behind the twins. [[spoiler:Agatha claims they were created through Wanda's use of Chaos Magic, which allows the spontaneous generation of matter.]]
** [[spoiler:It's implied that he and Billy were erased from reality like Hex Vision when Wanda ended the Hex. But we don't actually see what happens to them when their home disappears. Furthermore, we later hear their screams in Wanda's head, but it's unclear if this is their souls, where they are if so, and if Wanda is genuinely communing with them somehow, especially as she is in the process of studying the Darkhold.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: When being held hostage by [[spoiler:Agatha]], Tommy can be heard yelling at her to let go of his brother.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Aside from the blue baby blanket and his Halloween costume, all of Tommy's outfits have at least some green.
* DeadpanSnarker: He inherits some of his parents' dry sense of humor.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:In Episode 9 of ''[=WandaVision=]'' it's shown that, like Vision, the twins are a magical construct of Wanda's and their existence is tied to the Hex. They disappear when Wanda dissolves the Hex completely. In the comics the original Billy and Tommy were fragments of a demon's soul, and ceased to exist after being reabsorbed by the demon.]]
* {{Expy}}: Episode 6 makes him one for Reese from ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' in the 1990s/2000s sitcom pastiche as the dimwitted, rebellious, and destructive brother (albeit not as senselessly mean or cruel).
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Billy's responsible. He loves playing pranks and when he gets excited he starts running around wildly until Wanda has to grab him by the arm and give him a stern talking to.
* GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:He shares the same powers as his uncle.]]
* HeroWorshipper: [[spoiler:To his CoolUncle Pietro.]] Tommy copies everything [[spoiler:Pietro]] does, including wearing the same Halloween costumes and instantly changing his opinion of his mother's costume when he hears the latter call it lame, and is delighted to discover [[spoiler:that they have the same superpowers.]]
* MythologyGag:
** With his brother, their ColorCodedForYourConvenience colours reflect their comic book costumes, as Tommy typically wears metallic green and Billy wears red and blue.
** His HeroWorshipper attitude and desire to copy [[spoiler:his uncle Pietro]] somewhat reflects the fact that [[spoiler:Pietro's]] characterization more closely resembles Tommy's personality in the comics (a ComedicSociopath ManChild).
** Pietro calls him and Billy "demon spawn" in Episode 6, referring to his and Billy's past as pieces of Mephisto's soul in the comics.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: The twins are infants at the start of [[Recap/WandaVisionEpisode5OnAVerySpecialEpisode Episode 5]], [[spoiler:but quickly age themselves up to become five-year-olds, and later turn ten so they can adopt a puppy. Later in the episode it seems that they are about to do it again before Wanda stops them.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Billy's blue. He's much more active and playful than Billy. Fittingly, he wears [[spoiler:Pietro's costume for Halloween and develops SuperSpeed, while Billy goes with his Wiccan outfit from the comics and is implied to have mystical powers like their mother's]].
* SiblingRivalry: Tommy playfully insults Billy in a similar way Pietro does their mother. It's a VitriolicBestBuds situation though as Tommy makes it clear he likes his brother, he just thinks he's a dork.
* SuperSpeed: Tommy's power, much to [[spoiler:Pietro's]] delight.
* ThreeMonthOldNewborn: He and Billy are pretty big when they are born. Justified, even, given the MindScrew sitcom world they're all trapped in.
* TricksterTwins: Along with Billy, Tommy manages in the course of a single day [[spoiler:to smuggle a dog into the house and age himself up ''twice'']]. In the sixth episode, the two of them start stealing candy and vandalizing random houses in Westview with the help of Pietro, though Tommy eventually gets the ability to do this on his own.
* WalkingSpoiler: Like his brother, his birth and aging-up is a pretty big spoiler.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/WandaVision''

-->''"Whoa, Mom. Are you Old Red Riding Hood?"''

Wanda and Vision's son and Tommy's younger fraternal twin brother.

* AdaptationalContextChange: In the comics, Billy is named for Simon ''Williams'', aka ComicBook/WonderMan, whose brain patterns were used to create Vision. Given the changes to Vision's origin in the MCU, Williams has no relevance to either Wanda or Vision [[note]]Simon Williams was intended to make a cameo in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', portrayed by Creator/NathanFillion, but his appearance did not make it into the film[[/note]]. Instead, Billy is named for William Shakespeare, at Vision's suggestion.
* AlternateSelf: Has a variant on [[Characters/MCUEarth838 Earth-838]].
* AmbiguousSituation:
** His and Tommy's shared ability to magically age themselves up is something that could be explained by either Billy's RealityWarper nature, Tommy's SuperSpeed, or some other, unknown power behind the twins. [[spoiler:Agatha claims they were created through Wanda's use of Chaos Magic, which allows the spontaneous generation of matter.]]
** Also given the revelation that [[spoiler:Wanda's abilities aren't just superpowers given to her by the Mind Stone, but magic she was apparently born with, and the fact that the other witches in Agatha's coven used magic that was the same color as Billy's powers, it's unclear whether he is actually a warlock instead of a superpowered person like his brother.]]
** [[spoiler:It's implied that he and Tommy were erased from reality like Hex Vision when Wanda ended the Hex. But we don't actually see what happens to them when their home disappears.]] Wanda hears Billy cry out to her [[spoiler:despite he and Tommy having disappeared when the Hex came down. The scene ends before it becomes clear whether Wanda was imagining things or if they actually survived in a disembodied form.]]
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Aside from the blue baby blanket, all of Billy's outfits are at least partly red.
* DeadpanSnarker: He inherits some of his parents' dry sense of humor.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:In Episode 9 of ''[=WandaVision=]'' it's shown that, like Vision, the twins are a magical construct of Wanda's and their existence is tied to the Hex. They disappear when Wanda dissolves the Hex completely. In the comics Billy and Tommy were fragments of a demon's soul, and ceased to exist after being reabsorbed by the demon.]]
* {{Expy}}: Episode 6 makes him one for Malcolm from ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' in the 1990s/2000s sitcom pastiche as the more intelligent and sensitive brother that narrates to the audience.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The responsible to Tommy's foolish. While he's not above participating in playing pranks alongside his twin, he does seem to be a bit more level headed and calm than the hyperactive Tommy.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Agatha takes the kids to her house so Wanda can have her alone time, Billy notes that he likes being around Agnes because she's "quiet". [[spoiler:This is because Agnes is the witch Agatha Harkness and is able to use her magic to block her thoughts from Billy.]]
* GenerationXerox: [[spoiler:He shares the same powers as his mother.]]
* MetaGuy: As part of the aforementioned ''Malcolm'' parody, he spends Episode 6 narrating to the audience. [[JustForFun/TheZerothLawOfTropeExamples Related to that]], the way he does this is via LeaningOnTheFourthWall, not unlike [[Theatre/RichardIII a very famous fictionalized king]] his [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare purported namesake]] wrote of.
* MindOverMatter: [[spoiler:Uses this to stop his brother mid SuperSpeed run when he senses his father in danger, in addition to using it to stop Hayward's bullet in the series finale of ''[=Wandavision=]''. Notably his energy is colored blue, as Wiccan's powers are usually shown in the comics.]]
* MythologyGag:
** Billy is, [[AdaptationalContextChange in this series]], named for Creator/WilliamShakespeare. In ''ComicBook/TheVision2015'', Vision's synthezoid son Vin was a huge fan of the Bard.
** With his brother, their ColorCodedForYourConvenience colours reflect their comic book costumes, as Tommy typically wears metallic green and Billy wears red and blue.
** Billy's halloween costume is a CivvieSpandex take on his comic book costume, right down to the headband.
** Pietro calls him and Tommy "demon spawn" in Episode 6, referring to his and Tommy's past as pieces of Mephisto's soul in the comics.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: He is named after William Shakespeare. Vision, coming up with the name, [[ReferencedBy/WilliamShakespeare quotes the bard]]. [[Theatre/AsYouLikeIt "All the world's a stage."]]
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: The twins are infants at the start of [[Recap/WandaVisionEpisode5OnAVerySpecialEpisode Episode 5]], [[spoiler:but quickly age themselves up to five year olds and later ten. Later in the episode it seems that they are about to do it again before Wanda stops them]].
* PowerIncontinence: Once his [[spoiler:psychic powers begin to manifest, he's not able to turn them off, which is very distressing for him, especially because Wanda is totally incapable of parenting at this point. He tells Agnes he likes being around her because he can't hear her thinking]].
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Tommy's red. He's more quiet and well-behaved than his brother. Fittingly, he wears his Wiccan outfit from the comics for Halloween and [[spoiler:is implied to have mystical powers like their mother's, while Tommy wears Pietro's costume and develops SuperSpeed]].
* {{Seers}}: Sees a vision of [[spoiler:his father trying to exit Westview and being ripped apart in the process]]. In the next episode, he complains to Wanda about his head being "noisy" all the time, apparently being unable to control this power enough to "turn it off" yet.
** In the final episode he has a precognitive flash of something happening to Wanda moments before it actually happens.
* SiblingRivalry: Tommy playfully insults Billy [[spoiler:in a similar way Pietro does their mother]]. It's a VitriolicBestBuds situation though as Tommy makes it clear he likes his brother.

-->''"Oh no, no, Daddy don't get scared."''

Scott's friend and former cellmate. Later, the head of X-Con Security Consultants.

* TheAllegedCar: It becomes a RunningGag in the franchise for people to call his van ugly.
* BadassNormal: Has no superpowers but is a reliable sidekick to Scott. He even gets to be a BadassDriver operating a shrinking car in the sequel.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's one of the cheeriest, nicest ex-cons you'll ever meet. He's also got one hell of a right hook.
* BumblingSidekick:
** Subverted; despite how silly he is, he's more than capable of holding his own, and is useful -- his only issue during the heist being that he didn't know who the security chief was, and takes him out anyway.
** He's far more useful in the sequel, even getting into a car chase where he uses a shrinking car.
* CanonImmigrant: Originated in the MCU, but made his way into the mainstream comics.
* ChekhovsGun: Luis owns a 1972 Ford Ecoline with a horn that plays La Cucaracha which initially serves as the Wombats' getaway vehicle before it was fitted with a Quantum Tunnel by the Pyms.
** [[spoiler:Subverted twice in ''Endgame'' that while it becomes a basis for the Avengers' time-traveling plan, it was not used in favor of a more advanced version created by Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, and Rocket Raccoon. After the other one was destroyed by a time-traveling Thanos, the Avengers attempted to use the one in Luis' van but moments before Captain Marvel can reach it, Thanos destroys the van as well.]]
* ChekhovsSkill:
** Claims to be the only person to have knocked out Peaches, a hulking convict that not even Scott could meaningfully harm. This seems to be a lie for most of the movie, but come the heist he quickly knocks out several of Cross's guards when he gets the chance.
** In the sequel, when he gets injected with a TruthSerum, he's able to get around being unable to lie by using his MotorMouth habit to tell a long story with the implications being he was trying to buy time for it to either wear off or for the criminals using it on him concluding that he doesn't know anything. Unfortunately, he gets cut off before he can progress far enough and is forced to admit the information.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The guy may be a MotorMouth goofball, but he has a really mean punch and is a rather good driver, using the streets of San Francisco and Hank Pym's tech to evade Sonny Burch and his men.
* CulturedBadass: When not punching out people in a single hit, he frequents wine tastings, art museums with abstract expressionism exhibits (though he's more of a Neo-Cubist kind of guy), and so on.
* DerailedForDetails: Does this to himself whenever he's telling stories, often interjecting with details that aren't relevant to the matter at hand, usually requiring whoever's listening to ask (or just tell) him to get back on track.
-->'''Scott:''' Wrong details, wrong details. It has ''nothing'' to do with this story.
* ExactWords: Gets asked where Scott Lang is while under truth serum, so he goes on a long story about how he met Scott and ends up explaining where Scott was ''emotionally'' at.
* GoodFeelsGood: Feels "weird" more like, but he still enjoys being the "good guy" for once. Come the sequel, he and the gang have created a business and swore off criminal activity, and help out Scott when they can because they want to.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He is Scott's longest and most trusted friend.
* HiddenDepths: Enjoys wine tasting and modern art when not committing crimes, specifically expressing an admiration for neo-cubism and the abstract expressionist painting Untitled (black on maroon) by Mark Rothko. The sequel also shows that he has surprisingly good leadership skills despite being a bit rough about office rules.
* KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy: His signature scenes are about him chatting with a friend who chatted with a friend who...
* {{Leitmotif}}: Roy Ayers' "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SURKTNn2JDs Escape]]''" is played whenever he is story telling.
* MotorMouth: He can talk really fast when he gets excited. If anything, he's even ''faster'' when he's answering questions under Uzman and Burch's (chemical that they insist is not) truth serum, no doubt due to being forced to be accurate about his stories.

* NiceGuy: He may be a thief, but he is very nice to his friends.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: All those stories of his are a chain of people and rumors.
* OneHitKO: Luis can knock out a man with one punch, and does so repeatedly during the Pym Tech heist and against Sonny Burch.
* PerpetualSmiler: He is remains cheerful and always keeps a smile on his face even during dire situations.
* PetTheDog: Goes back to save the guard he knocked out so he doesn't die in the Pym Tech implosion.
* PhraseCatcher: His stories tend to be go on such twisty tangents that after he is done the only thing anyone has to say is "[[FlatWhat What]]".
* ThePollyanna: Part of his EstablishingCharacterMoment in his first scene: since he got out of prison his girl left him, his mother died, and his father got deported. But he got the van! The guy's ''eternally'' upbeat.
* PutOnABus: Alongside the rest of the Wombats, he doesn't appear in ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania'', owing to director Peyton Reed feeling that he didn't fit the larger scale of the film. Though considering he hasn't been seen since before the Snap, one has to wonder what happened to him...
* ReformedCriminal: He opens a security consultant company in ''Ant-Man and the Wasp'' with Scott, Dave and Kurt.
* ShipperOnDeck: While he also says she's beautiful, he refers to Hope as Scott's girlfriend.
* ShoutOut: His stories with people lip-syncing his exact words is exactly how ''Series/DrunkHistory'' tells stories.
* TeamChef: [[RealMenCanCook No, really.]] Belgian waffles count, right?
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Played straight and inverted. At first, he tries to get Scott (who had just gotten out of prison and was determined to not go back) to join him in a burglary. Eventually, Scott makes him realize GoodFeelsGood.
* UncertainDoom: His fate after Thanos' BadassFingersnap was left unclear. However, considering he never retrieved his van from storage over the five-year TimeSkip, he was most likely snapped out of existence. While the events of ''Endgame'' brought everyone back, he has yet to reappear.
* UnreliableNarrator: He has a tendency to... [[MotorMouth embellish]] his stories, often having the characters in them (who are all people he knows) speak exactly like he does.
* VerbalTic: Has a tendency to use the phrase "You know what?" during his tall tales.
* WickedCultured: Downplayed since he's a basically good guy, but he is a former criminal who enjoys art galleries and wine tastings.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Downplayed. During his freakout over learning about the Ant-Man suit, Kurt declares its abilities "the work of Gypsies". "Gypsy" is a slur for the Romani people that has been used to persecute them for a ''long'' time. However, Kurt is genuinely a good person, so his use of the term either comes from [[InnocentBigot ignorance or small-town superstition]] rather than from genuine racism.

-->''"There was a black guy who looks exactly like me knocked us out and locked us in the back of this disgusting van!"''

A friend of Scott Lang and Luis who served as the driver in charge of the getaway vehicle. Later joined X-Con Security.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Upon spotting a Crown Vic parked in front of Pym Technologies, he immediately knows that it is a car commonly used by undercover cops.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** Distracts Paxton and his partner by hijacking their car, preventing Hank from getting arrested.
** In the second movie, he and Kurt knock out Sonny's men right before they kill Luis.
* CanonForeigner: Like Luis, he was created for the film.
* GetawayDriver: He's the "wheels on the ground". He can also hijack other people's cars.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Immediately after successfully giving the cops the slip, he accidentally hits the very distinctive "La Cucaracha" horn of the van, revealing his and Kurt's position to the cops and their identities to Paxton.
* OutOfFocus: Due to Luis having his storytelling segments and Kurt's obsession with Baba Yaga and getting starring role in ''What If...?'', Dave is left with the least amount of importance in the Wombats.
* ReformedCriminal: He opens a security consultant company in ''Ant-Man and the Wasp'' with Scott, Luis and Kurt.
* ThoseTwoGuys: He is rarely seen without Kurt at his side.
* UncertainDoom: His fate after Thanos' BadassFingersnap is left unclear. Considering neither he nor Kurt retrieved Luis's van from storage during the TimeSkip, it's likely they were erased as well as Luis until the Avengers returned everyone in ''Endgame''.

->''"You have a gift. You have power. And with great power, there must also come great responsibility."''

Peter Parker's aunt, with whom he lives in Queens.

* AdaptationDyeJob: May Parker was always shown as an old woman in the comics but it's a fact that the young May Parker when she married Ben was blonde. As in the case of changing May's ethnicity here, she has become a dark haired woman. Also, May had blue eyes in the comics but she has brown eyes here.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Aunt May was a typical doddering and oblivious old woman in the early comics before the writers made her a CoolOldLady later on, although she's usually a passive character. In the MCU, thanks to an AgeLift, Aunt May is an assertive and spirited maternal figure who's not afraid to F-Bomb in shock when she discovers her nephew is a superhero, something that her soft-spoken comic counterpart would never do. MCU May also shows support for Peter's superhero life in ''Far From Home'', whereas in the comics she's fearful of him getting hurt or outright against it like in ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan''.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: A given when you cast [[https://twitter.com/superherofeed/status/618848552362508288 Marisa Tomei]] as a character who's usually a CoolOldLady. Even more than the YoungerAndHipper ComicBook/UltimateMarvel version! This is lampshaded to hell and back in her cameo in ''Captain America: Civil War'', with Tony practically having his tongue hanging out while talking to her.
-->'''Tony:''' It's so hard for me to believe that she's someone's aunt.
-->'''May:''' Yeah, well, we come in all shapes and sizes, you know.
* AdaptationalBadass: On top of [[AgeLift being younger than most other incarnations]], she's also a lot more capable, [[spoiler:even going as far as taking an active and physical role in Peter's first fight against Norman Osborn in ''No Way Home'' -- that's hard to imagine for comic book May. Sadly, [[DeathByAdaptation it leads to her death]].]]
* AdaptationalWimp: When it comes to her cooking skills. In the comics, she's a SupremeChef who's particularly great at baking. In the MCU, however, she's a LethalChef.
* AgeLift: Seems like Aunt May [[http://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Aunt-May.jpg gets a decade younger with each adaptation]] ([[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Rosemary Harris]] was in her seventies[[note]]though according to the novelization, her version of May was somewhere in her eighties[[/note]], [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan Sally Field]] in her sixties, and Marisa Tomei was only 51). At least it's not an ImprobableAge, given Tom Holland was at the time of ''Civil War'' 19 playing the 15-year-old Peter.
* AlternateSelf: Has a variant on [[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 Earth-89521]].
* AndStarring: Marisa Tomei gets the "with" credit in the end titles of all three ''Spider-Man'' films.
* AscendedExtra: She only has a few minutes of screen time in each of her appearances until ''No Way Home'', where she plays a bigger and much more important role. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it's also the film where she's KilledOffForReal.]]
* BackFromTheDead: Is resurrected by Professor Hulk in ''Endgame''. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it doesn't stick as Green Goblin murders May a year later, this time for good.]]
* BusCrash: Though May herself doesn't actually appear in ''Infinity War'', ''Far From Home'' confirms that she got dusted by Thanos's BadassFingersnap, with her first scene being her recalling how she blipped back into her apartment, to the confusion of its new tenants, who mistook her for a man's mistress or a ghost.
* CallingParentsByTheirName: In a bit of a departure from most depictions of Spider-Man, Peter, his friends, [[spoiler:and Peter's Raimi-verse variant]] primarily address her as "May" instead of "Aunt May". This seems to be a change that was born from Spidey's solo films, as both Peter and Tony call her "Aunt May" in ''Civil War''.
* TheCameo: May appears in two scenes in ''Captain America: Civil War'' to establish her role in Peter's life. She also appears briefly in ''Endgame'' [[spoiler:comforting Peter at Tony's funeral]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: From ''Homecoming'' onwards, May is noticeably a more traditional mother figure whose emotional well-being is one of Peter's primary concerns. Compare her rather laid-back reaction to hearing about him getting into a fight and getting a black eye from it to her angrily confronting Peter about being out late. That said, once May actually finds out that her nephew is Spider-Man, she's nothing but supportive for Peter's career in crimefighting, to the point of even secretly packing his suit for him when he's going to Europe just in case he needs it.
* CheatedDeathDiedAnyway: Was resurrected after being dusted by Thanos, [[spoiler:only to be murdered by the Green Goblin a year at most later]].
* CluelessDudeMagnet: She seems unaware of just how attractive men find her.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:Oddly enough, she takes on the role Uncle Ben has in most Spider-Man media with her death teaching Peter what he'd been learning over the course of his tenure in the MCU: "With great power, comes great responsibility." May's demise is a result of his impulsive actions trying to get Strange to wipe everybody's memories and tampering with the spell, starting a string of events that leads to the Green Goblin killing her with his glider. Uncle Ben is confirmed to have existed in the MCU thanks to ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'', but it's unclear what impact he had on Peter and his decision to become Spider-Man. May is also this to her counterpart in ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'', who died at the end of the game due to a villainous plot after advising Peter one last time.]]
* CoolAunt: So much so that, when Peter comes back bruised from an obvious fight, instead of telling him the usual shtick of "fighting is wrong", she asks him if he at least got some hits in. In ''Homecoming'', she quickly shifts gears upon realizing how upset Peter is over losing the "Stark Internship", and later helps him get ready for his date with Liz without a moment's hesitation. By ''Far From Home'', May has grown comfortable with the idea of her nephew being a superhero, acting as a publicist of sorts for Spidey and scheduling an appearance for him at a local homeless shelter. She also encourages Peter (still shell-shocked from the events of ''Endgame'') to take his suit on his trip to Europe, and ends up packing it for him herself when he leaves it behind. In ''No Way Home'', she cleans Peter's suit after it was ruined by someone getting paint on it and later assists him in transporting the villains to Happy's apartment and trying to cure them of their afflictions.
** She does have her limits though, as in ''Homecoming'', May's initially fed up with Peter sneaking out of the house all the time and skipping school, and in ''No Way Home'', Peter mentions she didn't take it so well when she first found out he was Spider-Man.
* CurseCutShort: The very last scene of ''Homecoming'', the camera pans to reveal that May was watching Peter trying his new suit, to which her reaction is "What the fu--?!" *SmashCut to credits*
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has brown hair and brown eyes.
* DeadAlternateCounterpart: Her [[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 Earth-89521]] counterpart was mentioned by Peter to have died during the ZombieApocalypse. [[spoiler:May [[InSpiteOfANail also dies]] in ''No Way Home''.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:May is still alive in the comics, but she's KilledOffForReal in ''No Way Home'', a first for any live-action Spider-Man film.]]
* ADeathInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:She gets more screen-time and plot relevance in ''No Way Home'' than any of her previous appearances. She dies halfway through the film.]]
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Dies in her nephew's arms after being mortally wounded by the Green Goblin's attack.]]
* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler:In ''No Way Home'', her eyes remain open as she dies.]]
* DisappointedInYou: She has a look of disapproval when Peter tells her that the multiverse villains aren't his problem and the best thing they can do is to just send them back to their home universes as they are.
* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler:Tearfully {{Lampshaded}} by the alternate Peters. Due to her being Peter's caretaker, and hence his only domestic role model, she takes the place Uncle Ben does in other continuities. This is really highlighted in ''No Way Home'', and needless to say, she imparts the lesson of "WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility" and ends up getting killed by a criminal Peter helped. In this case, she ended up dying much later than the start of Peter's career, and she wasn't killed by a desperate petty criminal but by an AlternateUniverse Green Goblin that she and Peter were trying to rehabilitate.]]
* DudeMagnet: Tony, Mr. Delmar, the Thai restaurant waiter, Ned, and Happy have all expressed attraction towards her, usually [[RunningGag right in front of Peter]].
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Her initial appearance in ''Civil War'' had her in more fashionable 2010s clothes and heavier make-up. Stating with ''Homecoming'', her wardrobe is changed to '90s clothing, she wears big glasses, and her make-up is toned down.
* FormerTeenRebel: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]], when she tells Peter that she also used to sneak out at night when she was younger. The extended edition of ''No Way Home'' reveals she was arrested at protests in her youth, keeping in line with her Ultimate counterpart.
* FriendsWithBenefits: She and Happy were apparently this while Peter was away on his trip in ''Far From Home''. Happy is under the impression that they are in a serious relationship and admits to being in love with her, while May insists it was more of a casual thing.
* GoodBadGirl: She's a very sweet and warm-hearted woman who doesn't have any problem having a casual relationship with Happy Hogan.
* GoodParents: Despite not being Peter's biological parent, May is extremely open and supportive with him.
* HerHeartWillGoOn: Downplayed. Ben died prior to ''Civil War'' and she's shown wearing a wedding ring on a necklace. By ''Far From Home'', she's apparently ready to start dating again and has a casual relationship with Happy Hogan, though she isn't interested in anything more serious like other examples of this trope.
* HiddenDepths: She seems to have a decent amount of legal expertise, as shown when she is being interrogated by federal agents in ''No Way Home''. She's also on a FirstNameBasis with Matt Murdock, hinting she already knew him before he was called to act as Peter's lawyer.
* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:After being struck full-on by the Goblin's glider and nearly blown up by one of his pumpkin bombs, May is still able to get to her feet and at first it seems she will be fine. She imparts some wisdom to her nephew and prepares to exit the building with him. Then she collapses on the ground and Peter realizes she was mortally wounded by the glider.]]
* HotterAndSexier: Lampshaded in-universe. Aunt May is a middle-aged woman here, instead of the kindly old lady from both the original and ''Amazing'' Sony series of ''Spider-Man'' movies. Tony, who constantly hits on her, calls her "Aunt Hottie" and notes that he can barely believe she's Peter's aunt. In ''Homecoming'', several characters comment on her attractiveness or hit on her.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:She's mortally wounded by the Green Goblin's glider near the third act of ''No Way Home'', causing her to bleed out and die in Peter's arms. And unlike [[ReducedToDust her previous death]] at Thanos's hands, it's made clear that May isn't coming back from this one.]]
* KilledOffscreen: ''Far From Home'' reveals that she was one of the many offscreen casualties of The Snap. She recalls the circumstances of her resurrection early on in the film.
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler:A ray of sunshine to anyone she meets, May gets killed by the Green Goblin to torment her nephew.]]
* LethalChef: Tony reproves of her date loaf in ''Civil War'', and her first scene in ''Homecoming'' has May burning dinner, forcing her and Peter to go out to eat.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler:PlayedForDrama when she's hit by the Green Goblin's glider. May gets back up and says that she's fine to Peter, and the audience is also led to believe this — but then she collapses while repeating that she needs to catch her breath, and passes away seemingly unaware that her injuries were fatal.]]
* MamaBear: Fully showcases her Mama Bear credentials in ''No Way Home'' [[spoiler:when she helps her beloved nephew Peter fight off Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin, despite lacking any superpowers and only armed with a pipe.]]
* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:Falls victim to this in ''No Way Home'', where her lesson that everyone deserves a second chance influences Peter's decision to try to save the villains. She also gives him the famous "with great power" quote before dying from the Green Goblin's attack.]]
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:The Goblin recognizes her as Peter's, which is exactly why he kills her. After May dies, Peter wants nothing more than to kill Goblin with his own hands and would have gone through with it had he not been stopped by Raimi Peter.]]
* MortalWoundReveal: [[spoiler:Happens in ''No Way Home'' when May collapses after being seemingly unfazed from getting hit by the Goblin's glider. Peter is confused until he realizes his hand is covered in his aunt's blood, and she dies about a minute later.]]
* MsFanservice: In ''Far From Home'', the [[MaleGaze camera lingers]] on a few shots of her wearing tight jeans while she addresses Peter on the phone.
* NiceGirl: One of the nicest characters in the film series, naturally people-oriented, kind and sweet to everyone she meets, very supportive and protective towards Peter.
* NerdGlasses: She sports a pair of positively ''gigantic'' glasses in several scenes.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:Showing kindness to Norman Osborn causes the Goblin persona to realize she is Spidey's MoralityChain and makes him decide to "free" Peter by killing May.]]
* OfficialCouple: Subverted; she gets into what she calls a "summer fling" with Happy in ''Far From Home'', but they are still figuring out where it'll go from here. The start of ''No Way Home'' reveals they've broken up.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Tony can barely believe she is Peter's aunt, but May is actually in her [=50s=].
* OpenMindedParent: Despite her initial shock at it, she's accepting of Peter's vigilantism as Spider-Man and helps him out when he needs it. In ''Homecoming'', she finds Peter almost naked with Ned in his room, and [[MistakenForGay simply keeps smiling]] as she gently suggests he put some clothes on. In ''No Way Home'', when she bursts in on [[NotWhatItLooksLike what appears to be]] Peter and MJ about to have sex, she calmly tells Peter there's nothing wrong with it and is completely supportive.
* OutOfFocus: She has a less prominent role in ''Far From Home'' due to her nephew spending most of the movie overseas.
* ParentsWalkInAtTheWorstTime: In ''No Way Home'', she and Happy intrude on Peter changing out of his suit with MJ there, and assume the two of them are about to have sex. [[OpenMindedParent May]] quickly closes the door while warning Peter to wear protection... only to walk back in ''again'' when she realizes that the girl in the room is the famous MJ, and is excited to meet her for the first time.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Downplayed. She has a brief relationship with Happy Hogan in ''Far From Home''; their comic counterparts don't have anything to do with each other.
* RaceLift: Dialogue confirms that May is Italian-American in this continuity (Mr. Delmar calls her "a hot Italian woman"), similar to her actress. In the comics, May Reilly Parker was Irish-American. It's likely that her maiden name is different or she has mixed Italian and Irish heritage similar to many Italian-Americans, especially in the Northeast (such as Creator/RobertDeNiro himself).
* ReimaginingTheArtifact:
** Behind-the-scenes material for ''Homecoming'' notes that in a modern adaptation, Aunt May would no longer be the same kind of character, since the original Aunt May was rooted in a pre-feminist Greatest Generation idea of an ideal maternal figure, whereas in TheNewTens, an aunt figure who looks after an orphaned kid as a single parent would be closer to a "big sister" in dynamics, owing to the slowing down of the aging process and the erosion of TheGenerationGap. Thus, May is portrayed as YoungerAndHipper.
** Also, since May isn't an elderly woman in this incarnation, Peter's concern about her discovering his superhero identity is now less about potentially shocking an already frail old woman and more about not wanting to add extra stress to who is heavily implied to be a widow still grieving for her late husband.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Her death in ''No Way Home'' at the Goblin's hands has a huge impact on Peter and fuels his emotional arc for the rest of the film.]]
* SecretKeeper: May learns what her nephew has really been up to at the very end of ''Homecoming''. Ironically, May does a better job of keeping Peter's secret than Peter himself.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Peter and MJ, as shown when May offers her nephew advice in confessing his feelings for MJ during their summer trip in ''Far From Home''. In ''No Way Home'', she is delighted to meet MJ in person, and while their screentime together is brief, the two seem to get along great.
* ShipTease: Tony flirts with her in ''Civil War''; however, in ''Homecoming'', [[ShipSinking May says that she's not a fan of him]]. Also, in the two months between ''Civil War'' and ''Homecoming'', Tony has gotten back together with Pepper.
* StacysMom: Tony even describes her to Peter as "Aunt Hottie". For a case of a younger person also falling for her, there's Peter's friend Ned.
* StuffedInAFridge: She's targeted by Green Goblin explicitly so he can kill her to make Peter "stronger". [[spoiler:He succeeds.]]
* TimeDelayedDeath: [[spoiler:After being hit by the Goblin glider, she gets to her feet and walks around for at least a minute, seemingly not realizing how serious her injuries are. Sadly TruthInTelevision, as it's completely possible for someone to survive a bit longer thanks to a boost of adrenaline from the body going into a state of shock.]]
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Kind, caring to all, and a supportive motherly figure to Peter. What does she do when she comes back in the Blip? Organizes charities to help those displaced by the Snap and its undoing. When Peter tries to shirk his responsibilities, she keeps his head on straight and convinces him to help the villains from other universes because she believes it’s the right thing to do. [[spoiler:[[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished Even when it costs her her life]], May's dying words are to [[AllLovingHeroine encourage Peter to continue helping people]] because [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsIbility he has the power to do so.]]]]
* TwoFirstNames: "May" and "Parker" can both be used as first names.
* WhamLine: [[spoiler:Spouts off ''the'' [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility most famous quote]] in Spider-Man history, trying to teach Peter what it means to do the right thing. [[DiedInYourArmsTonight Then she dies]].]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: ''Homecoming'' ends with her learning about Peter being Spider-Man, which is not addressed at all in ''Infinity War'', probably because there are much bigger issues for everyone to worry about. It's resolved in ''Far From Home'', which shows she has come to accept it in the wake of everything that's happened since. Granted, ''Infinity War'' is set two years after ''Homecoming'', so by then, she had 2 years to come to terms with Peter's secret.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: [[spoiler:Uncle Ben's last words are [[CompositeCharacter given to her]] in ''No Way Home''.]]
* YoungerAndHipper: May is much younger here than in any prior adaptation and is closer in spirit to a CoolBigSis instead of the grandmotherly figure she is usually portrayed as.

->''"Okay, okay, okay, okay okay, okay, I'll level with you: I don't think I can keep this a secret, this is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, Peter!"''

Peter Parker's best friend in high school.
----
* AchievementsInIgnorance: In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', [[spoiler:he's capable of using a Sling Ring and summons both the Raimi and Webb-verse Peter even though he's never had formal training, and later frees Doctor Strange from the Mirror Dimension. It's implied that it's because magic runs in his family.]]
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While he is not a villain in the comics (though he was temporarily made out to be the Hobgoblin, but this was retconned as him being BrainwashedAndCrazy after he was killed), he was a bit of a {{Jerkass}} and certainly wasn't an ally of Spider-Man. Here, he is Peter's best friend and when he discovers he is Spider-Man, saves his life at one point and helps him track down and battle the villains as MissionControl.
* AdaptationalSkill: His comic book counterpart doesn't have any hacking skills.
* AdaptationDyeJob: As a result of a RaceLift, he has brown eyes instead of blue.
* AgeLift: In the comics, Ned was an adult reporter who worked at the Daily Bugle before Peter even got a job there. Here, he's Peter's age.
* AmicableExes: [[spoiler:On the plane ride back from England, he and Betty break up with apparently no ill will towards one another.]]
* AsianAndNerdy: He's of Asian descent (his actor is Filipino-American) and he has nerdy interests like ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Franchise/{{Lego}}'', superheroes, and video games.
* AudienceSurrogate: Once he discovers Peter's secret, he's absolutely giddy about the fact his best friend is a superhero and bombards him with fanboy questions.
* BackFromTheDead: He explicitly mentions he was one of the victims of Thanos's BadassFingersnap in ''Infinity War'' and then resurrected as a result of ''Endgame''.
* BadassBystander:
** When Spider-Man is about to be finished off by Schultz, Ned picks up the dislodged web shooter and fires it at Schultz. It's a direct hit and gives Spidey the chance to grab the web line and use it to defeat him.
** [[spoiler:Even more in ''No Way Home'' with the help of Doctor Strange's ring, where he opened portals to the other displaced Peter Parkers, allowing both Webb-verse and Rami-Verse Peters to come help the Peter of his own universe and leading to a Spider-Man team-up. [[HyperCompetentSidekick And that was mostly unintentionally. The ring allows him to have a more proactive role in the final battle as well.]]]]
* BadLiar: Almost as bad as Peter, usually leading him to DiggingYourselfDeeper or coming off as SuspiciouslySpecificDenial.
* BigFun: He's quite rotund and is the primary comic relief of his films.
* TheCameo: Makes a brief appearance in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' where he creates a distraction for Peter to sneak off their field trip bus by alerting their class to the alien ship. He gets another in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', where he greets Peter Parker after the world returns to normal (as it's revealed that he was also a casualty of the Snap).
* CharacterDevelopment: He goes from being enamored over the idea of Peter as a vigilante to cautiously concerned about how being Spider-Man is slowly eroding his friend's life at school and at home.
* CompositeCharacter: While he may be named after Ned Leeds, his role, mannerisms, and looks are more related to Ganke Lee, the best friend of another Spider-Man, [[Characters/MarvelComicsMilesMorales Miles Morales]]. ''Far From Home'' gives him a little more in common with his namesake by pairing him up with Betty Brant. Interestingly, this isn't the [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan first time]] Ned Leeds got an Asian RaceLift.
* CrackShip: InUniverse, Peter has no idea what to make of Ned's sudden romance with Betty.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has brown hair and brown eyes.
* DemotedToExtra: He's reduced to appearing in small cameos outside the Spider-Man films.
* {{Eagleland}}: He's under the impression that Europeans love American visitors, and that he'd be able to re-invent himself as a ladies' man during his two weeks in Europe.
* EliteSchoolMeansEliteBrain: He's a computer science expert who [[spoiler:got accepted into MIT.]]
* EmbarrassingCoverUp: When a teacher catches Ned being Peter's "Guy In The Chair" during the homecoming dance, he pretends he's using the library computers to [[TheInternetIsForPorn look up porn]].
* FatBestFriend: Due to CompositeCharacter, he is this to Peter here.
* FormerlyFat: In a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot, Ned is shown to be significantly slimmer in ''No Way Home'', due Jacob Batalon losing weight after ''Far From Home''.
* GeniusDitz: Ned can come across as a bit... silly, but he's an excellent hacker, and repeatedly breaks into Stark tech without batting an eye. [[spoiler:He's also capable of opening portals using a Sling Ring in ''No Way Home''[[note]]Closing them is another issue[[/note]] whereas it took Strange nearly ''dying in the Himalayas'' to master it.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He's this with Peter Parker.
* HowDoIShotWeb: [[spoiler:Ned finds out that he's capable of using Doctor Strange's Sling Ring during the events of ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', which excites him given that he was certain magic runs in his family. Unfortunately, he has no idea how to properly use it yet, which causes him to randomly create portals to places without much control, and he also can't figure out how to close them.]]
* InstantExpert: Played with in the case of his ability to [[spoiler:open portals with Strange's sling ring]]. While he manages to do it almost by complete accident (something which had taken [[spoiler:being stranded on top of the Himalayas for Strange]] to achieve) and soon manages to do it at will, which actually impresses [[spoiler:Doctor Strange]] when he learns about it, it is very clear that he has only minimal control over [[spoiler:their destinations]] and, more importantly, is unable to [[spoiler:close them]] on command, which proves crucial in the climax.
* InstantSedation: In ''Far From Home'', Nick Fury [[spoiler:(actually Talos impersonating him)]] shoots him with a tranquilizer dart that instantly renders him unconscious.
* KilledOffscreen: ''Endgame'' reveals that he was also among the trillions killed by Thanos, as evidenced by him reuniting with Peter, who was killed onscreen, in Midtown and being the same age as him.
* TheMillstone: On some occasions, his attempts to "help" Peter or attempt to cover for him end up making situations worse, such as opening him up to humiliation when he randomly blurts out that Peter knows Spider-Man in ''Homecoming'' (and then blaming Peter for the party not going well afterwards when ''Ned'' was the one claiming Spider-Man would show up), or on the plane trip to Europe in ''Far From Home'' when his attempt to get Betty to swap seats with Peter by saying Peter has a perfume allergy causes Peter to have to sit next to Mr. Harrington, and then coming up with the AtrociousAlias "Night Monkey" while attempting to persuade Betty that Spider-Man is not in Europe with them. ''No Way Home'' is notably the first time where (apart from screwing up in an interrogation early on) he's almost entirely helpful.
* MuggleBestFriend: He's Peter's best friend who has no superpowers and is completely human. [[spoiler:It's subverted in ''No Way Home'' where it turns out [[ThinkingUpPortals he can conjure portals]] using Doctor Strange's Sling Ring, but it's double subverted as Doctor Strange takes his sling ring back in the final battle.]]
* MythologyGag: His romance with Betty in ''Far From Home'' alludes to their comics counterparts, who are husband and wife.
* NiceMeanAndInbetween: From a multiversal point of view in regard to Peter Parker's best friend, Ned Leeds is the nice to the mean of [[Characters/TheAmazingSpiderManSeriesSupervillains Earth-120703's Harry Osborn]] and the in-between of [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogyMainCharacters Earth-96283's Harry Osborn]]. He is Peter's best friend, sidekick, and supporter, never interferes in his relationship with Michelle Jones-Watson, [[spoiler:and promises to never betray Peter. Unfortunately, their friendship is erased from existence by Doctor Strange to save the universe from countless interdimensional dangers.]]
* OddCouple: With Betty Brant in ''Far From Home''. They're SickeninglySweethearts in spite of having nothing in common which bewilders the hell out of Peter.
* OhCrap: Upon seeing aliens in New York, Ned's first – and only – words in ''Avengers: Infinity War'' is to panic about how they're all about to die. ''Endgame'' confirms that he was one of the casualties of the snap before being resurrected five years later.
* OlderThanTheyLook: As a result of being killed by Thanos' BadassFingersnap, Ned is physically five years younger than his actual age.
* OutOfFocus: After a prominent role in ''Homecoming'', Ned's prominence to the story takes a backseat in ''Far From Home'' in favor of MJ getting a larger part. He gets focus again in ''No Way Home'', being the one who [[spoiler:summons the Raimi and Webb-verse Peter Parkers via a Sling Ring]].
* PlatonicLifePartners: Becomes this with Michelle Jones in ''Far From Home'', to the point where in [[spoiler:the new reality where Peter is forgotten, they still remain close friends.]]
* PlayfulHacker: Ned is pretty talented with computers, being able to override the "Training Wheels" protocol in Peter's suit and act as mission control in the school's computer lab during the climax.
* ProudToBeAGeek: He absolutely delights in his less-than-mainstream interests like Lego, fedoras, and PC gaming. However, [[spoiler:while cornered in the Tower of London and fearing that he's about to die]], Ned admits that, on some level, he's worried that he's wasting too much of his life on these things.
* RaceLift:
** White in the comics, Filipino in the MCU. Ned's ''lola'' (grandmother) even makes an appearance in ''No Way Home'' where her mostly Tagalog dialogue is translated by Ned on-screen.
** If we're looking past the name and into the CompositeCharacter aspect of his personality, Ganke Lee (his inspiration) is Korean-American, while Ned is played by Filipino-American Jacob Batalon.
* RandomlyGifted: Despite looking like a seemingly normal student with nothing special, he is [[spoiler:capable of using magic with a sling ring. He explains that his lola has talked about magic running through their family line and uses it to not only bring in both Peter-2 and Peter-3 but finally free Doctor Strange from the Mirror Dimension after being stuck there for twelve hours.]]
* SecretKeeper: Peter unwittingly takes off his mask while Ned is present. Ned's at least a decent enough guy to keep Peter's SecretIdentity an actual secret. Ironically, Ned does a better job of keeping Peter's secret than Peter himself.
* SickeninglySweethearts: He and Betty go all in on ''all'' the lovey-dovey stuff in ''Far From Home''.
* {{Sidekick}}: He's essentially Spider-Man's closest ally who helps him out in any way he can, even when no else can/will.
* SpannerInTheWorks: In ''Spider-Man: No Way Home''. [[spoiler:By all means, Green Goblin won by killing Aunt May and with Doctor Strange gone, though MJ was planning to send them all back to die in their universes. Then, with the Sling Ring on his hand, Ned wished to see Peter again...]]
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler:In ''Avengers: Endgame'', he's seen tearfully greeting Peter Parker when they both go back to school.]]
* TeenGenius: Ned is a member of his magnet school's academic decathlon team, with an aptitude for programming and engineering. He's a crucial aid in Peter's missions by analyzing one of Vulture's hybrid weapons, hacking into Stark technology, and uncovering sightings of the Multiversal visitors. [[spoiler:He is able to apply Doctor Strange's Sling Ring in battle with a little practice, and gets accepted into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.]]
* ThinkingUpPortals: [[spoiler:He finds out that he can conjure portals with Doctor Strange's Sling Ring in the third act of ''No Way Home''.]]
* ThirdWheel: On the roof in the third film, Peter and Michelle hold each others' hands in a heartfelt moment. Ned thinks it's time for a TeamHandStack and puts his hand on top of theirs, thus creating an awkward moment.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Him getting Peter invited to Liz's party and taking the explosive Chitauri energy core with him for safekeeping during his academic decathlon team's tour of the Washington Monument provide Toomes with humongous clues as to Spider-Man's identity, as Liz innocently brings up how Peter was conspicuously absent during both these instances when the wall-crawler was in those areas.
* VocalEvolution: Ned's voice is significantly deeper in ''Far From Home'' than it was in ''Homecoming'' and ''Infinity War''. Justified, as both Ned and his actor are growing older, even after being dead for five years.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Or as he and Peter refer to it, "The Guy in the Chair." Ned initially wants to be this in ''Spider-Man: Homecoming'', but is refused by Peter already having Happy and Karen. Later in the climax, when left without both, Peter has Ned assist him by cellphone while Ned is on two computers getting important information like tracing Peter's phone and finding the headlight button in Flash's car.

[[folder:"Karen"]]
!!''"Karen"''
!!!'''Species:''' Artificial Intelligence
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Stark Industries
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JenniferConnelly, Erica Edwards (Latin-American Spanish), Creator/KikukoInoue (Japanese)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''
An A.I. Tony Stark installed in Spider-Man's suit, to be activated after the completion of his training. Peter winds up disabling the suit's training mode out of frustration, activating her and the suit's advanced functions early. Since she has no pre-set name, he nicknames her "Karen".
----
* ArtificialIntelligence: Even if the suit is less mechanical than the PoweredArmor Iron Man wears, the gadgets require an A.I..
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: One of her attributes, given all sorts of scanners and gadgets in the suit. Though it isn't always positive: Peter is not so pleased to hear "[[ExactTimeToFailure XX seconds to catastrophic damage]]" and "[[FailedASpotCheck you were 98% successful]]".
* BenevolentAI: Just like J.A.R.V.I.S. and F.R.I.D.A.Y., she's helpful and heroic.
* ChekhovsClassroom: In ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', Karen informs Peter that his suit has an "Instant Kill" function when he plans to subdue two small-time robbers, which initially horrifies the webslinger, due to his commitment to ThouShaltNotKill. Once he's surrounded by Thanos's Outriders in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' however, Peter finally crosses the GodzillaThreshold and activates it to save himself.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Even though Peter gets his Stark tech suit after it's confiscated by Tony in the climax of ''Homecoming'', Karen never reappears in vocal form in Spider-Man's later MCU appearances, nor is she ever brought up by anyone else. [[spoiler:With Peter crafting a new suit in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' and all of his ties to Stark being lost via Doctor Strange's second spell, there's a very high chance that Karen's gone for good.]]
* TheComicallySerious: Unlike J.A.R.V.I.S., she's not a snarker, but given that Karen is [[BrutalHonesty blunt]] and at times [[CaptainObvious obvious]], most of what she says ends up funny.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Played with. Like Jarvis to Tony, she's helpful, definitely on Peter's side, and overall has a very friendly disposition, but she will ask to activate the Instant Kill mode in a heartbeat. It almost seems to be her default, as she often asks to activate in situations where it is ''completely'' uncalled for, like when Peter is merely observing some bad guys and in absolutely no immediate danger. The dark and edgy is take up another notch when you stop to think that Tony put this function into a suit he made for a ''15-year-old boy...'' However, considering Ned hacked past the Training Wheels protocol, it's likely Tony figured that completing the Training Wheels protocol would take years and Peter would have matured into adulthood by then.
* DissonantSerenity: Tells Peter that because he hasn't reinstalled his parachute, a fall from the top of the Washington Monument would most likely be lethal, all in a pleasant, even tone as if she's commenting on the weather.
* DistaffCounterpart: She's J.A.R.V.I.S. with the voice of a woman. In fact, she's voiced by Creator/JenniferConnelly, [[CastingGag the wife of]] J.A.R.V.I.S.'s own voice actor Creator/PaulBettany.
* ExpositionFairy: An especially required case given Peter [[HowDoIShotWeb doesn't know a tenth of what Tony has put in the suit]].
* FunnyRobot: Is this at times, showing her recording of Peter talking to himself on the mirror despite him protesting because she found it funny, and later trying to serve as TheMatchmaker regarding Peter and his crush Liz.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Not to an extreme degree, but she ''will'' activate the Instant Kill Protocol at the drop of a hat.
* NiceGirl: Unlike the other A.I.s Stark has developed, she appears to lack a snarky sense of humor and is instead cheerful, kind, and helpful. She also seems to genuinely like Peter and tries to help him out in any way she can.
* MentorArchetype: She spends more time teaching and encouraging Peter in both superhero and civilian aspects in two days than her creator does in two months.
* NoNameGiven: Unlike the Iron Man armor A.I.s, she doesn't come with a preset name. Peter finds it awkward to call her "Suit Lady", and nicknames her Karen.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. She's the second character in the MCU with the name "Karen", after [[Creator/DeborahAnnWoll Karen Page]] in the Netflix shows.
* ParentalSubstitute: She's so personable and intelligent that she basically becomes a motherly figure to Peter, helping him in non-superhero things like his upcoming Spanish quiz or advancing his crush on a classmate.
* PutOnABus: Karen exits the movie when Stark takes away the suit, and has yet to be heard from again even after getting it back. Peter activates Instant-Kill mode in ''Endgame'' by a voice command, as he did when having Karen change his web-shooter settings in ''Homecoming'', but Karen is not heard responding. She isn't heard at all in ''Far From Home'', with her role in the story filled in by the E.D.I.T.H. A.I., and given Peter's situation at the end of ''No Way Home'', it is very unlikely that she will make another appearance in the near future.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Peter and Liz, giving him advice and urging him to kiss her when he has the chance.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Peter wears the Stark tech suit when he first appears in ''Infinity War''. It can be assumed that Karen is also implemented into the Iron Spider. However, due to the darker tone, she is not heard talking to Peter at all. Considering that Tony immediately lost the connection to F.R.I.D.A.Y when he left Earth, it's more than likely that Peter was on his own with that handicap as well.
* UncertainDoom: While not directly stated, the Stark suit was last seen packed inside Peter's luggage in ''Far From Home'' which was contained in the bus Peter's schoolmates and teachers were riding that got destroyed in the climax.

A US Air Force pilot and single mother. She was one of Carol Danvers' best friends in the 1990s.
----
* AcePilot: Naturally, being in the Air Force. In the climax, she takes on Minn-Erva in an AerialCanyonChase and wins.
* ActionGirl: She is a pilot and a soldier in the Air Force who can throw several punches.
* ActionMom: Maria is a pilot in the Air Force and the mother of Monica Rambeau.
* AdaptationalBadass: Maria wasn't an Air Force pilot in the comics.
* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: She has curly hair in the comics, but her hair is straight here.
* AdaptationalJobChange: In the comics, Maria was originally a seamstress, though her backstory was [[RetCanon altered]] to have also been in an unknown branch of the U.S. military after the movie. [[spoiler:This is followed by her becoming the co-founder and Director of S.W.O.R.D.]]
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: She was never best friends with Carol in the comics as they never even met.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Maria being friends and comrades in arms with Carol is new to this adaptation.
* AlliterativeFamily: With her daughter '''M'''onica.
* AlternateSelf: Has a variant on the [[Characters/MCUEarth838 Illuminati]] who became Captain Marvel instead of Carol, [[spoiler:as well as a variant who became the superhero Binary.]]
* AscendedExtra: At best, Maria is one of [[ComicBook/MonicaRambeau her daughter Monica]]'s supporting characters in the comics.
* BoyishShortHair: Wears her hair in a short-cropped style that was popular for women in the early-mid 90s, but also compliant with airman's regulation for the military.
* CompositeCharacter: In addition to her comics self, the movie character's includes aspects of Michael Rossi, Carol's USAF colleague, and Carol's single-parent friend Marina Renner. [[spoiler:[[Series/WandaVision WandaVision]] adds an element from Tracy Burke, an old friend and former colleague of Carol's at Woman Magazine, on to her. In the fact that both characters eventually succumb to [[TheTopicOfCancer cancer]].]]
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:She dies of cancer two years after the Snap while her comic book counterpart was last seen alive.]]
* DecompositeCharacter: In a sense. Her callsign in the Air Force is "Photon", which is one of the many aliases used by her daughter in the comics.
* DistaffCounterpart: She becomes one to Nick Fury, albeit offscreen. [[spoiler:''Series/WandaVision'' reveals that eventually became Director Maria Rambeau of S.W.O.R.D., and was also its co-founder. This makes her the second black character who directed (until her death) a major division [[FunWithAcronyms acronymized]] with the name of an [[ThemeNaming ancient combat weapon.]]]]
* GenocideSurvivor: ''[=WandaVision=]'' reveals that she survived the Snap but [[spoiler:died of cancer two years afterwards.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Prior to Carol's disappearance, she and Maria were best friends, inseparable in the skies and in civilian life. Notably, when Carol was believed to be dead, her possessions are given to the Rambeau family.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:''Series/WandaVision'' reveals that she helped co-found S.W.O.R.D., and acted as its director, a role she played until her death three years before the events of ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.]]
* ImprobablePilotingSkills: She was already an AcePilot in Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. matched only by Carol herself, but she was also able to learn and master the [[CoolPlane Quadjet]] with enough skill to outfly seasoned Star Force pilots and engage in a high-speed AerialCanyonChase through ridiculously tight passages with hairpin turns.
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:The fourth episode of ''Series/WandaVision'' reveals that she died of cancer three years prior to the Blip. Monica, a victim of the Snap, disappeared around the time her cancer went into remission.]]
* MamaBear: She's quite protective of her daughter Monica, as shown during her first encounter with Talos and Norex.
* TheNotLoveInterest: In ''Captain Marvel''. She's Carol's best friend and squadmate. Maria (and by extension, Monica as the child they're raising) is emblematic of the life Carol left behind on Earth since she wasn't too close with her own family.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:{{Zigzagged}}. Around the time of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', Maria is shown to have just fought off cancer when her daughter Monica is killed by Thanos's BadassFingersnap. Monica is eventually resurrected by Professor Hulk during the events of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', but Maria had passed away three years earlier when her cancer returned.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:Of a sort. Although Maria has been dead since 2020, she co-founds S.W.O.R.D, which begins to play a big part in the MCU's fourth phase.]]
* SassyBlackWoman: She gets really sassy when men patronize her. Both Talos and Nick Fury got a taste.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Peggy Carter. [[spoiler:She's a woman who helped co-found a major governmental apparatus during times when minorities still had major struggles. For Peggy, it was solely her gender. For Maria, it was a mixture of being a black person ''and'' a woman.]]
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Maria was definitely not a member of S.W.O.R.D. in the comics, much less its co-founder and one of its directors.]]
* ThemeNaming: [[spoiler:''Series/WandaVision'' reveals that she co-founded another military/intelligence-oriented governmental apparatus called the Sentient Weapon Observation Response Division, acronymized as S.W.O.R.D. This makes it the second governmental apparatus to bear the name of an ancient combat weapon.]]

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goosecaptainmarvel.png]]
!!!'''Species:''' Flerken (disguised as a red, mackerel tabby domestic short-haired cat)
!!!'''Citizenship:''' Kree Imperial, American
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Mar-Vell (formerly), Nick Fury, Carol Danvers

->''"Aren't you the cutest little thing?"''
-->-- '''Nick Fury''', ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}''

A mysterious cat that gets entangled with Carol Danvers and S.H.I.E.L.D. in the 1990s.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, Captain Marvel's cat is named Chewie in a ShoutOut to ''Franchise/StarWars''.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: She was originally owned by Mar-Vell instead of Carol.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Goose is Carol's pet in the comic, but in the movie she's the original Mar-Vell's, and later stays with Fury, while Carol remains mostly indifferent to her. Though ''Film/{{The Marvels|2023}}'' shows that at some point, Carol ended up picking up Goose from Earth and taking her on her space adventures.
* AlienAnimals: Can easily blend in as an Earth cat.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Although we have no idea how intelligent Flerkens typically are, there are times where Goose seems to be more aware of things than one would expect for a cat. When Carol and Fury are debating over how to transport the Tesseract, Goose very quickly responds by eating it, even though she has little reason to do so at the moment. She also is rather good at identifying allies versus enemies, which she also demonstrates by eating a bunch of Kree soldiers with little provocation after Maria's gun jams.
* AnimalisticAbomination: Is actually a Flerken, a species of catlike aliens who have pocket dimensions in their stomach and can extend an array of tentacles larger than most other species out of her mouth to attack and send things into it. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also claws that carry potent infections]].
* BadassAdorable: The Kree were frozen with terror the moment they scanned her; restraining her and fitting her with a muzzle, prompting Fury to shout "Hey, it's a cat, not [[Film/SilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter.]]" The fact that she can sprout a Kraken's worth of tentacles out of said mouth and drag entire grown-men into it more than justifies said restraints.
* BerserkButton: Goose tolerates all of the affection and handling Fury gives her...up until he shoves his head in her face, to which she immediately responds with hissing and blinds his left eye with one swipe.
* BigEater: PlayedForLaughs, she can devour grown men in seconds like they were M&Ms. She won't eat friendly people, though. Which is why she won't eat Talos when he's taken the form of a Kree soldier. She also didn't even hesitate to eat the Tesseract for safekeeping.
* BiggerOnTheInside: It would be anatomically impossible for Goose's cat-sized body to contain that huge mass of horrifying tentacles without some dimensional warping going on.
* BlackHoleBelly: Goose's stomach is capable of holding grown men and Infinity Stones inside of her. Although she coughs up the latter during TheStinger.
* TheBusCameBack: Was last seen in ''Captain Marvel'' which is set during the early 1990s and doesn't appear again until ''The Marvels'' which is set in the 2020s. The latter reveals that Goose was looked after by Maria Rambeau [[spoiler:before she died from cancer]], and was taken in by Carol afterwards.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Subverted. Nick Fury is amused by how [[TheDreaded absolutely terrified]] the Kree and Skrulls are of the "flerken", because she appears to be nothing more than a perfectly normal adorable widdle kitty cat. She is ''[[AnimalisticAbomination not]]'' just a perfectly normal widdle kitty cat.
* CrossCastRole: She is portrayed by four male cats, since a vast majority of orange cats are male.
* CuteCreatureCreepyMouth: She looks like a normal cat, until she unfurls a ton of tentacles to swallow things.
* CutenessProximity: ''[[CynicalMentor Nick Fury]]'', of all people, starts cooing over how cute Goose is when they first cross paths.
* TheDogIsAnAlien: The cute cat is in fact a flerken, a rare and dangerous alien species.
* ADogNamedCat: A cat/flerken named Goose.
* TheDreaded: The Kree and the Skrulls are mortifyingly scared of her. [[spoiler:Kamala Khan is freaked out when she met Goose and the first thing the latter does is devouring two mooks.]] As she's a Flerken, it's justified. She's essentially one of the Marvel universe's bedtime horror stories - though only if you are mean. If she judges you as a friendly, she's just an adorable kitty with above-average intelligence.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Keen-eyed fans noticed [[https://comicbook.com/marvel/2018/09/18/captain-marvel-does-chewie-carols-cat-appear/ her silhouette]] in the corner of the teaser poster.
* EatingSolvesEverything: Need to dispose of some people trying to kill you? Goose will swallow them right up. Need a safe place to hold an object of limitless power? Her stomach is just the right place. [[spoiler:Need to evacuate a few hundred people from a space station and you've only got a handful of escape pods? Goose and her offspring are there to help. Turns out they can [[GettingEatenIsHarmless swallow people without harming them]] if they want to.]]
* EatingTheEnemy: Goose swallows up several Kree soldiers while Nick Fury is holding her in Talos's satellite.
* EvilDetectingDog: Cat to be more precise, she will not harm anyone who is deemed friendly like Talos.
* ExplosiveBreeder: [[spoiler:In ''The Marvels'', she lays a ''lot'' of eggs on the S.A.B.E.R. station that quickly hatch into an enormous litter.]]
* ExtremeOmnivore: She eats fully armed Kree soldiers. Then she eats '''''[[ArtifactOfDoom The Tesseract]]''''' (albeit puking it up later like it's a hairball.)
* GenderEqualsBreed: Averted. She's a female orange tabby.
* GettingEatenIsHarmless: Goose can consume and then vomit up living beings completely unharmed, at least if she chooses to/hasn't has time to digest them. In ''The Marvels'', Goose vomits up two Kree she had swallowed after a rough SwapTeleportation ride with Kamala, and this fact is later exploited to [[spoiler:store the entire crew of the SABER station in the bellies of her kittens when most of the {{Escape Pod}}s fail]].
* ItCanThink: While the characters are figuring out what to do with it, Goose eats the Tesseract to keep it safe, showing that she may in fact understand what they're saying.
* KillerRabbit: Adorable she may be, but Goose is a Flerken, an alien that can spring tentacles at a moment's notice and hold entire pocket dimensions within them.
* LogicalWeakness: Since her CombatTentacles come from her mouth, simply muzzling her to keep it shut will nullify the threat.
* LongLived: Goose was already a fully grown cat in 1995, yet barely looks to have aged at all when we see her again in the late 2020s. Of course, it's entirely possible that Flerken lifespans aren't the same as regular household cats, but it's still surprising that Goose is still at her prime over 30 years later.
* LovecraftianSuperpower: She can extend a huge mass of fleshy tentacles larger than herself from her mouth, use them to swallow things far bigger than her, and even swallow the Tesseract without any ill effects.
* MysteriousPast: How she ended up on Earth is not revealed, other than she was originally owned by Mar-Vell, who might've gotten her from somewhere in the galaxy.
* NotSoHarmless: Goose actually takes a bit of comical abuse during the flight in the Quadjet, before she's revealed to be TheDreaded at the same level as [[PersonOfMassDestruction Hulk or Groot]]!
* OlderThanTheyLook: To the casual observer, Goose looks like a cat in the prime of her life. But she is actually decades old.
* OverlyLongTongue: Her mouth tentacles are essentially this taken up to eleven.
* PhlebotinumHandlingEquipment: When Fury adamantly refuses to grab the Tesseract with his bare hands, Goose immediately gobbles it up, ending the argument. Since she's immune to the object's effects, she becomes a safe and handy StomachOfHolding for it [[TheStinger until she finally coughs it up on Fury's desk]], several days later, with all the dignity and grace of [[HairballHumor hacking up a hairball]].
* ShoutOut: Her name has been changed to Goose as a reference to the character in ''Film/TopGun''.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She is the one directly responsible for Nick Fury's iconic eyepatch; when he annoyed her too much by playing with her chin one times too many, she scratched his left eye blind in one swipe. [[spoiler:This allowed Fury to assign different security files to each of his eyes, allowing him to disable the encryption in ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Winter Soldier.]]'']]
* StomachOfHolding: Is able to swallow things much bigger than herself. When Fury and Maria Rambeau discuss how to keep the Tesseract safe, Goose promptly swallows it and coughs it back up again when the threat is long over.
* {{Troll}}: [[spoiler:If her waiting until a scientist realized she and one of her kittens are there before letting her kitten eat her is of any indication, Goose is this]].
* TrulySingleParent: [[spoiler:Goose gives birth to a large litter of kittens during the climax of ''The Marvels'', despite there being no indication that there was a male Flerken that she mated with beforehand.]]
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Pukes up the Tesseract in a PostCreditsScene.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Goose's terrifying CombatTentacles are easily nullified by putting a muzzle on her. And since she's usually friendly or at least neutral at first sight (despite Lawson's claims) until you actually threaten her, it's a simple matter to grab her and muzzle her.
* WhaleEgg: Flerkins reproduce by laying fleshy eggs that hatch into the equivalent of month-old kittens in a couple of days.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Flerken scratches don't heal. Fury being a bit too affectionate with her cost him his eye.
