| 71 | !!Reserve Avengers |
| 72 | [[folder:Mahmoud Schahed / Dial]] |
| 73 | An SI who finds himself in the MCU equipped with an Omnitrix. |
| 74 | ---- |
| 75 | * AscendedFanboy: Well, he's a self-insert with the Omnitrix in a Marvel universe, so... |
| 76 | ** He often goes out and buys superhero merchandise, of both the Avengers and the Winter Guard. There's a reason Tony always calls him "Fanboy". |
| 77 | * BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Once he's officially an Avenger, he starts training with Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanov and starts wearing the standard issue [[AdaptiveArmor Armor Gear]], just for those times the Omnitrix times out. |
| 78 | ** Later on, when he needs to really push his alien powers to the next level, he finds a new mentor in Ares, God of War. |
| 79 | * CatchPhrase: "Rude", when in alien form at times, something he says at least a few times during the story. |
| 80 | * CharacterDevelopment: Initially, he had a hangup about [[SuperWeaponAverageJoe the Omnitrix being the only worthwhile thing that made him a hero]], no matter how many skills he learned or how much tech he helped develop. After he gets stranded in the Savage Land with no tech and a damaged Omnitrix, the trial to get out of it helps reaffirm that he can be worthwhile without the watch. |
| 81 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: He doesn't hesitate to use the Omnitrix to become a hero and save people, running around at night saving civilians and even JumpedAtTheCall to help Captain America when the events of Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier happen. |
| 82 | * ComboPlatterPowers: Many of the aliens have this, and the very ownership of the Omnitrix gives him this. |
| 83 | * GenreSavvy: Thus far, Dial has managed to realize that most every person he knows that is important in this universe looks like a famous actor more often than not. So when he sees Creator/MichelleRodriguez during a mission, he immediately pegs her as important. He's right, since she turns out to be Titania. |
| 84 | * HomelessHero: Dial spent his first few months in the MCU squatting in an abandoned building. It's downplayed since he had a legal construction job, he could Jury Rigg any amenities he wanted (including a supercomputer), and it wasn't long until the CallToAdventure came out. |
| 85 | * TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Much like Ben, his personality sometimes changes based on the alien he becomes. Rath is the best example, lowering Dial's intelligence while also making him more aggressive. |
| 86 | ** To a smaller degree, when he pulls out NRG Russians tend to look at him funny because [[AliensOfLondon he sounds like he's affecting a Russian accent,]] despite that he has no control over that and it's just an artifact of the Omnitrix and the Alien itself. |
| 87 | * ProtagonistTitle: The man himself. |
| 88 | * RealMenLoveJesus: Mahmoud is Muslim, and is an inspiration to Kamala Khan because of it. |
| 89 | * SelfInsert: Natch. |
| 90 | * SkilledButNaive: A few of his hero colleagues are starting to view Dial as this after working with him for some time. For all that Mahmoud is powerful, personable, and genuinely heroic, he still isn't a soldier and has trouble following orders to the letter, isn't as disciplined, and still goes off on vigilante runs without informing anyone, which could get him killed if he isn't careful. |
| 91 | * SuperpowerLottery: Just like Ben, of course, the Omnitrix and the aliens contained within are all the powers he needs. |
| 92 | * ReedRichardsIsUseless: While he hasn't gone too far yet, thus far Dial is trying to avert this. Using Jury Rigg, he's managed to create armor and weapons for BRIDGE alongside Tony and plans on making more technology for the world at large. |

| 135 | A metahuman who was captured and brainwashed by Hydra. He was freed of it and joined BRIDGE as a result. |
| 136 | ---- |
| 137 | * AdaptiveAbility: Thanks to his power to copy the properties of any material he touches onto his body, Creel can quickly adapt to situations as needed. As a member of BRIDGE, he wears a bracer full of samples of useful materials, from [[FragileSpeedster lightweight aerogel]], to [[MightyGlacier superdense osmium]], to [[LightningBruiser refined vibranium]]. |
| 138 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: To [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Kevin Levin]] in a MythologyGag sense. After all, he's a character that can absorb material properties and started out on the wrong side of the heroic Omnitrix user before becoming an ally. |
| 139 | * AlliterativeName: '''C'''arl "'''C'''rusher" '''C'''reel. |
| 140 | * TheAtoner: Trying to make up for his past under mind control fighting for HYDRA. |

| 146 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: Eventually meets with Matt Murdock/Daredevil, and is recognized as the last opponent Battlin' Jack Murdock ever faced and beat before he was killed for not throwing the fight. |
| 147 | * PowerCopying: Can absorb the physical properties of any material onto his body, from metal to stone. To take the most advantage of this, he has a bracelet with various materials he can touch and use, ranging from aerogel to vibranium. |
| 148 | * ShipTease: With Isabelle Hartley a.k.a. Warrior, especially after they start sleeping together. |
| 149 | [[/folder]] |

| 151 | [[folder:Jennifer "Jenny" Walters / She-Hulk]] |
| 152 | The cousin of Bruce Banner. She was captured by HYDRA and experimented on using gamma radiation due to sharing the same gamma gene as her cousin. |
| 153 | ---- |
| 154 | * AmazonianBeauty: As She-Hulk, she has turned a few heads and is easily on the high end of the strength spectrum. |
| 155 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Not to the extent of her comic counterpart, but she has displayed this ability once when Dial threatened to turn into Four Arms only to be told 'go ahead, it's been a few chapters!' |
| 156 | ** Later, she does this for real after Dial tells her of his real origins. |
| 157 | * CharacterDevelopment: After she is rescued, she finds that she likes her new strong self so much that she never turns back into Jennifer for a long period, not liking the weak woman she once was. When she finally does after a long and grueling fight with Mary [=MacPherson=], she finds that it's not so bad after all (especially since her human form is still quite ripped). |
| 158 | * DamselInDistress: Was captured by HYDRA and infused with Gamma powers to be used against the Hulk until BRIDGE rescued her. |
| 159 | * OfficialCouple: Eventually hooks up with Mahmoud. |

| 161 | * SecretKeeper: Like with X, Dial tells her about how he comes from a world where their world is fictional. |
| 162 | * StatuesqueStunner: Confirmed to be anywhere between 7 and 8 feet tall. And well... it's SHE-HULK. Of course she's a stunner. |
| 163 | * TinyGuyHugeGirl: Pretty much anytime she's paired up with Dial. While he isn't noted to be particularly short in any sense, a lot of their conversations involve her looking down at him, at least until he transforms. |

| 165 | |
| 166 | [[folder:Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch]] |
| 167 | A Sokovian girl who, along with her twin brother Pietro, was given powers by exposure to Loki's scepter from HYDRA's experiments. She and Pietro initially worked with HYDRA to get revenge on Tony Stark for destroying her home, but after the Grapplers revealed the truth, they made plans to switch sides and join BRIDGE. |
| 168 | ---- |

| 254 | * BrattyHalfPint: Takes this attitude with Natasha at first, until Black Widow smacks some sense into her. She's more of this around Mahmoud, who just calls her "midget" in return. |
| 255 | * OddFriendship: With Shuri, Princess of Wakanda. Also with Mahmoud. |
| 256 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Talented she may be, but when she gets violent at Natasha for not marching to her tune, the Black Widow is more than experienced enough to give her a reality check. |

| 328 | [[/folder]] |
| 329 | |
| 330 | !!Associates |
| 331 | [[folder:Virginia "Pepper" Potts / Rescue]] |
| 332 | The CEO of Stark Enterprises and Tony Stark's girlfriend. |
| 333 | ---- |
| 334 | * CallToAdventure: She only got the armor at first to fly with Tony, but after some news pundits criticized her for not doing any hero work despite her tools, she decided to slowly get in on the action. |
| 335 | * TheJoyOfFirstFlight: Experienced this with Tony after getting used to her armor. |
| 336 | * PoweredArmor: Was given the Rescue armor as a present by Jury Rigg. |
| 337 | [[/folder]] |
| 338 | |
| 339 | [[folder:Matthew Murdock / Daredevil]] |
| 340 | A blind lawyer hired by Mahmoud to handle his legal work, who also moonlights as a vigilante around Hell's Kitchen at night. |
| 341 | ---- |
| 342 | * HandicappedBadass: His blindness doesn't hold him back when kicking ass. |
| 343 | * MySuitIsAlsoSuper: Knowing Matt's identity, Mahmoud commissioned him a catom-based suit similar to BRIDGE's [[AdaptiveArmor Armor Gear]], that will protect him from most forms of damage and even baffle his senses in case a villain tries SensoryOverload on him. |
| 344 | * SuperSenses: The toxic waste that blinded him also enhanced all his other senses. |
| 345 | [[/folder]] |
| 346 | |
| 347 | !Winter Guard |
| 348 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 349 | * DirtyBusiness: One main (unstated) reason they were formed was in response to the Avengers, in case the US ever gets plans to use them to invade or if one of them turn rogue. Only a couple find that potential appealing, and Fantasma outright calls it a worst-case scenario. |
| 350 | * FriendlyEnemy: Even if they were created in response to the Avengers, this does not stop Dial from befriending some of them. He even calls Fantasma a frenemy. |
| 351 | * PropagandaHero: Probably not by choice, but the Russian government does influence several of its aspects, like putting on a strong face in front of the Avengers. |
| 352 | [[/folder]] |
| 353 | |
| 354 | [[folder:Mikhail Uriokovitch / Ursa Major]] |
| 355 | The liaison between the Russian government and the Winter Guard, who also proves to have powers of his own. |
| 356 | ---- |
| 357 | * {{Animorphism}}: Can [[HulkingOut shapeshift]] into a gigantic [[BearsAreBadNews bear-man]]. |
| 358 | * DiscardAndDraw: Is promoted to the main Winter Guard roster after Fantasma is transferred to the Avengers. |
| 359 | * HandCannon: Carries an [=RSh-12=], a revolver that fires sniper-caliber bullets. |
| 360 | * LetsGetDangerous: Was introduced as the Winter Guard's military liaison, with no indication that he was a metahuman himself. When the Bus came under attack by Red Ghost's cyber-monkeys, he soon proved he had the chops. |
| 361 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: Is acquainted with Natasha and the Red Room. |
| 362 | * ParentalSubstitute: To Fantasma; he mentored her after the Russian government conscripted her and taught her to love her powers. Coulson compares it to his own relationship with Skye. |
| 363 | [[/folder]] |
| 364 | |
| 365 | [[folder:Nikolai Krylenko / Vanguard]] |
| 366 | A soldier who volunteered to receive powers for his country. |
| 367 | ---- |
| 368 | * CaptainPatriotic: Perhaps the most obvious example. He's a SuperSoldier like Cap, also wields a shield, and fights purely for his country. |
| 369 | * HeadbuttingHeroes: Is incredibly honorable, and thus detests the idea of working alongside a literal GodOfEvil, or ex-cons like Alloy. His superior Mikhail has to take him aside when he starts calling Creel out. That said, he's honestly flattered when Captain America compliments his outfit and seems to enjoy the opportunitiy to work alongside professionals. |
| 370 | [[/folder]] |
| 371 | |
| 372 | [[folder:Fantasma]] |
| 373 | An amnesiac woman who was taken in by the Russian government after displaying her powers. |
| 374 | ---- |
| 375 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Once she is transferred to the Avengers as a show of camaraderie, she becomes this to [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Gwen Tennyson]] in a MythologyGag sense, as a female character who can use magic and works closely with an Omnitrix user. |
| 376 | * ExposedToTheElements: Her suit is [[{{Stripperiffic}} comparable to a swimsuit]], and she has no problems with the Russian weather. |
| 377 | * FantasticRacism: Discusses being called a freak, even by her allies. |
| 378 | * LadyOfBlackMagic: Uses magical sigils and mandalas similar to Dr. Strange's. |
| 379 | * LikeADaughterToMe: Is this to Mikhail. |
| 380 | [[/folder]] |
| 381 | |
| 382 | [[folder:Sergei Kravinoff / The Hunter]] |
| 383 | A hunter who was recruited because of his ability to hunt and kill anything. |
| 384 | ---- |
| 385 | * BadassNormal: Has no need for anything other than his bare hands and a bowie knife to match superhumans. |
| 386 | * BloodKnight: Finds the whole idea of civilization weak, and only joined the Winter Guard for the chance to fight other metahumans (particularly the Avengers). |
| 387 | %%* EgomaniacHunter: As is befitting Kraven the Hunter. |
| 388 | * JumpedAtTheCall: The second he heard about a mission in the Savage Land, he is on a plane there before anyone can approve of it. |
| 389 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: When he hears about all the dinosaurs and man-eating monstrosities in the Savage Land, he's barely able to contain his glee. |
| 390 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Not 'token', but he is the only one who outright relishes the idea of potentially [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunting the Avengers]]. Particularly Dial, who can transform into any one of a million creatures never before hunted. |
| 391 | [[/folder]] |
| 392 | |
| 393 | [[folder:Galina Nemirovsky / Crimson Dynamo]] |
| 394 | A Russian genius who made her own PoweredArmor. |
| 395 | ---- |
| 396 | * HiddenDepths: Recognizes a reference to ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' that Dial makes. |
| 397 | * SamusIsAGirl: No-one realized she was a girl until she got out of her armor. |
| 398 | * ShockAndAwe: A main focus of her PoweredArmor. |
| 399 | * WrenchWench: In addition to designing the Crimson Dynamo armor herself (with a few of Ivan Vanko and Tesla's notes), she also created the generator for the Winter Guard Hall. |
| 400 | [[/folder]] |
| 401 | |
| 402 | [[folder:Chernobog]] |
| 403 | The literal god from mythology. He joined because Winter Guard wanted a powerhouse and because he thought it would be fun. |
| 404 | ---- |
| 405 | %%* GodOfEvil: A literal example. |
| 406 | * SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: Made a deal with a man named Aleksei Smirnov, who he agreed to cure his cancer and give him immortality in exchange for using his body as a time-share. |
| 407 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Not 'token', but he is a literal [[YourSoulIsMine soul-stealer]] that kills for pleasure, who even his own allies find off-putting. The only reason he is on the team is as a contemporary (and potential match) for either Thor or the Hulk. |
| 408 | * {{Troll}}: Dial outright calls him one, as he switches between affable and assholish at the drop of a hat. He goes from outright telling Dial that the Winter Guard has contingencies to defeat the Avengers, to admitting plans to go on a sightseeing tour of every Bald Mountain in the US. |
| 409 | --> '''Chernobog:''' I love this new world. So much more fun. I love seeing all the little ways people act out. |
| 410 | [[/folder]] |
| 411 | |
| 412 | [[folder:Laynia Petrovna / Darkstar]] |
| 413 | Vanguard's twin sister. |
| 414 | ---- |
| 415 | * DiscardAndDraw: Is promoted to the main Winter Guard roster after Fantasma is transferred to the Avengers. |
| 416 | [[/folder]] |
| 417 | |
| 418 | !HYDRA |
| 419 | [[folder:Strucker]] |
| 420 | A high ranking member of HYDRA who took control of all the remaining members after the attack by SHIELD/BRIDGE. |
| 421 | ---- |
| 422 | * BaldOfEvil: He is bald and the evil leader of HYDRA. |
| 423 | * RedRightHand: He has a powerful gauntlet that allows him to safely wield [[spoiler:Loki's scepter]]. |
| 424 | * TookALevelInBadass: After suffering setbacks due to SHIELD/BRIDGE, Strucker has decided to enhance himself. He then uses these enhancements to [[spoiler:overthrow the aliens backing HYDRA]]. |
| 425 | [[/folder]] |
| 426 | |
| 427 | [[folder:Emil Blonsky / Abomination]] |
| 428 | A soldier who received an injection of an imitation Super Soldier serum and a gamma radiation treatment, turning him into a berserk gamma metahuman. |
| 429 | ---- |
| 430 | * BloodKnight: All he wants to do fight. |
| 431 | %%* TheBrute: As per normal. |
| 432 | [[/folder]] |
| 433 | |
| 434 | [[folder:Rana Phillips / Aberration]] |
| 435 | A woman who was experimented on by HYDRA to become something similar to the Abomination. |
| 436 | ---- |
| 437 | * TheBrute: She's a gamma-enhanced human like the Hulk and Abomination. |
| 438 | * ALighterShadeOfBlack: Like Abomination, she revels in her new power. Unlike him, she isn't completely driven insane by a desire to fight. |
| 439 | [[/folder]] |
| 440 | |
| 441 | !Intelligencia |
| 442 | [[folder:Samuel Sterns / The Leader]] |
| 443 | A scientist who gained super intelligence from exposure to Gamma radiation. |
| 444 | ---- |
| 445 | * EvilGenius: As in the comics, he essentially has this as his only superpower. He's been one of HYDRA's best assets, designing technology, creating more gamma mutants and holding back the various {{Artificial Intelligence}}s in the series from discovering HYDRA's secret base, despite how advanced X and Jarvis are. |
| 446 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: As people point out repeatedly, he might have read thousands of books on all subjects but he has no actual experience in various fields. [[spoiler:Baron Strucker sees his betrayal from a mile off and Klaue completely dominates their negotiations despite technically being a prisoner.]] |
| 447 | * TheStarscream: Even after entering a BigBadDuumvirate with Baron Strucker, he always planned on absconding with some of their tech once their alliance was no longer beneficial. Sadly for him, [[OutGambitted Strucker easily saw it coming]]. |
| 448 | [[/folder]] |
| 449 | |
| 450 | [[folder:Ulysses Klaue]] |
| 451 | A weapons dealer who has earned the ire of Wakanda. |
| 452 | ---- |
| 453 | * AnArmAndALeg: He loses an arm after Black Widow blows up the gun he is using. |
| 454 | * DeadpanSnarker: Not even being attacked or imprisoned will shut him up. |
| 455 | * MotorMouth: Ulysses Klaue irritates just about everyone he interacts with with this nonstop talking. |
| 456 | * OnlySaneMan: For a given value of "Sane." He's still a BunnyEarsLawyer, but compared to The Leader, who's so enamored with his own intelligence that he doesn't understand how the real world works, or Kragaoff, who is a Russian Ultra-nationalist, Klaue is the only member of the Intelligencia who ''gets'' people and is able to plan successful strategies in the field. |
| 457 | * SmarterThanYouLook: He acts like a buffoon, but he is sharper than he lets on. Within minutes of meeting the Leader, he realized why he was captured and how inexperienced the gamma genius really was. |
| 458 | [[/folder]] |
| 459 | |
| 460 | [[folder:Ivan Kragoff]] |
| 461 | A Russian scientist who believes that the only way for Russia to remain great is to attack other countries. |
| 462 | ---- |
| 463 | * IntangibleMan: Possesses some ability that allows him to phase through attacks at will. |
| 464 | * PatrioticFervor: He believes in the Russia he grew up with, and doesn't want the country to change. |
| 465 | [[/folder]] |

| 479 | * GemstoneAssault: Summons a mountain that prevents the Insight Hellicarriers from escaping. |

| 489 | * TheSmartGuy: Adept in technology. His skills proves vital for the Avengers when he develops the Hercules app in exposing all Hydra agents. |
| 490 | !! NRG |
| 491 | * AliensOfLondon: NRG has a Russian accent which causes friction from the Winter Guard who thinks that Dial is purposely doing the accent. |
