| 147 | !!! '''Alter Ego:''' Jacques Duquesne |
| 148 | !!! '''Team Affiliations:''' ComicBook/TheAvengers |
| 149 | !!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Avengers'' Vol. 1 #19 (August, 1965) |
| 150 | |
| 151 | Beginning his career as a circus performer where he helped train a young Hawkeye, Jacques Duquesne later became the costumed mercenary Swordsman. He joined the Avengers, at first for nefarious reasons, but soon resolved to become a true Avenger when he fell in love with Mantis. |
| 152 | ---- |
| 153 | * BackFromTheDead: In the 2010 ''Dead Avengers'' miniseries, The Swordsman was one of a number of dead Avengers resurrected by the Chaos King, and apparently survived the end of ''ComicBook/ChaosWar'', unlike several of the others in that group. |
| 154 | * ButtMonkey: In Englehart's run. It even gets to the extent that the LemonyNarrator insults him over the scene of his damn funeral. |
| 155 | * CarnivalOfKillers: He got his start performing at the Carson Carnival of Traveling Wonders. |
| 156 | * CoolSword: His sword shoots out [[ShockAndAwe lightning]], [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and [[EnergyWeapon laser beams]]. |
| 157 | * DisappearedDad: He didn't even know he had a daughter, Adelynn Duquesne, who became Swordswoman. |
| 158 | * EvilMentor: Initially to Hawkeye. Seeing great potential in him, he and Trickshot trained the boy in blades and archery respectively, with Clint often being a secondary performer in the Swordsman's act. |
| 159 | * FrenchJerk: French and could be quite the jerk. |
| 160 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: When he joins the Avengers, he develops a crush on Scarlet Witch. Ordered by The Mandarin to plant a bomb in the Avengers HQ, he fears she will be injured. Eventually he has second thoughts and tries to dismantle the bomb...but he's caught in the act, and the Avengers think that he's setting the bomb instead of already having set it and now trying to get rid of it. With them already having been suspicious of him and with the real explanation not likely to do him any favors ("No, you don't understand! Sure, I planned to blow you all up ''before'' and I planted this bomb to do that earlier, but that was then! Now I'm trying to disarm the bomb, I swear!"), the Swordsman goes on the run after a fight and, perhaps for lack of any better options, goes back to being a villain for a number of years, often teaming up with the original Power Man. |
| 161 | * HeroicSacrifice: Saving Mantis by getting in the way of Kang's force-blast. |
| 162 | * LoveRedeems: His attraction to the Scarlet Witch would have led him to betray The Mandarin and join the Avengers for real, if not for a misunderstanding. His love for Mantis not only motivated him to get his life together after he'd been reduced to a shell of his old self, but to join the Avengers again, ''this'' time for real. |
| 163 | * LegacyCharacter: Three people have taken the Swordsman codename; Philip Javert, Andreas Strucker and his Cotati template. |
| 164 | * MasterSwordsman: He is a master of bladed weapons, most notably all forms of the sword. |
| 165 | * TheMole: The Mandarin sent a faked message from Iron Man asking the Avengers to allow the Swordsman to join them. Although they suspected a trap, he was allowed to become a member. |
| 166 | %%* PurpleIsPowerful: His costume was purple and he was Hawkeye's mentor. |
| 167 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: A variant. The Swordsman had reformed and joined the team proper some time before this, but he was often somewhat ineffectual; it didn't help that he both got stuck in a wheelchair, ''and'' got sick. This comes to a head when Kang captures the rest of the team, only leaving Swordsman because he considered him 'useless'. (Hawkeye was spared as well, but only because he wasn't a member of the team at the time.) The two of them, after saving Vision, then invade Kang's base, with the Swordsman largely responsible for saving the rest of the group. And finally, in a final HeroicSacrifice, he saves his love Mantis from Kang; by the time of his death, he had proved to both the team, to Mantis, and to himself, that he was truly a worthy Avenger after-all. |
| 168 | * SleevesAreForWimps: His outfit lacked sleeves. |
| 169 | * WorfHadTheFlu: He gets wounded in a fight early in his tenure with the team, and he tries to tough it out and keep fighting with the team rather than getting it properly treated and taking the time to heal up. While he's doing this to prove himself to both the team and Mantis, he isn't very effective in his weakened condition, which results in Mantis losing respect for him. |

| 182 | |
| 183 | Bonita Juarez was raised as a devout catholic in Buena Vista in New Mexico. Bonita Juarez gained superpowers when she was hit by a ball of cold fire that came out of the sky. The fireball contained extraterrestrial radiation that gave Bonita energy-wielding powers. Initially fearful that this was the devil's work, Juarez eventually believed that the fireball was from the Firebird, a creature of Native American lore. Taking the creature's name, she became a costumed hero, eventually joining the West Coast Avengers. |
| 184 | ---- |
| 185 | * AmicableExes: With [[Comicbook/AntMan Hank Pym]], her former West Coast Avenger's teammate. |
| 186 | * BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: |
| 187 | ** Averted with her initial costume, a yellow unitard with red boots and gloves, and Firebird-themed shoulder pads and tiara. Played straight with her later second uniform (see above). |
| 188 | ** Taken to near-ridiculous extremes during her short tenure on Omega Flight, with her costume being made up almost entirely of buckskin-tassels and a giant fur-cape. |
| 189 | %%* {{Flight}} |
| 190 | * HeritageDisconnect: In her early appearances, from her Native American roots. Later stories would have her rediscover her Native American heritage. |
| 191 | * MagicalNativeAmerican: Downplayed somewhat, as her Catholic upbringing is more often brought up in reference to her heritage. |
| 192 | * OutOfFocus: For much of TheNineties, despite being a recurring member of the team. Creator/KurtBusiek rectified this in his run. |

| 197 | * WhatTheHellHero: When Thor was in the serious grip of wangst during ''Kang Dynasty'', Firebird called him out on it, at length. |
| 198 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: Firebird has at least experienced hints that her powers may include some form of immortality, as she has survived exposure to radiation and been able to fly in space on her own, but she is clearly uncomfortable with the notion that she may never actually die. |

| 212 | At age 13, Elvin Haliday was exposed to toxic waste after hiding from bullies that attacked him for being in their neighborhood. Returning to his grandmother's home, Elvin was nursed back to health. The chemicals caused Elvin's teenage body to grow into adulthood in a matter of weeks, but also endowed him with superhuman strength, speed, and stamina. Encouraged by his grandmother to use his newfound abilities for good, Elvin adopted a costume and name: Rage. |
| 213 | ---- |
| 214 | * AngryBlackManStereotype: In their first encounter, Rage scolded Captain America for the team's lack of any black members. |
| 215 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: He was the big guy to Speedball's little guy. |
| 216 | * BloodKnight: Picked a fight with Professor Hulk. He got humiliated. |
| 217 | * CoolMask: Wears a white one based on a luchador mask. |
| 218 | * DarkAgeOfSupernames: His name just screams a ComicBook/YoungbloodImageComics name in the making. |
| 219 | * InASingleBound: Able to use his enhanced strength to leap great distances. |
| 220 | * LightningBruiser: Extremely strong, quick, durable and full of stamina. In his first appearance, Rage was shown outrunning a speeding subway train. |
| 221 | * ManChild: Literally, at first. He was a 14 year old boy in the body of an adult man. |
| 222 | * NighInvulnerability: Has superhuman durability and resistance to physical injury. |
| 223 | * ParentalAbandonment: He was an orphaned child and raised by his grandmother until she was murdered by Poison Memories gangsters. This led to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Rage going after the gangsters and brutally snapping the neck of the gang leader as a result]]. |
| 224 | * RaisedByGrandparents: Elvin was raised by his grandmother until she was killed by Poison Memories gang. |
| 225 | * SuperStrength: He can lift on average 75 tons, but when angered he can lift past 100 tons. |
| 226 | * ToughSpikesAndStuds: After the death of his grandmother, Rage goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge to find the person responsible while donning a new outfit with spiked pauldrons and knee pads. Rage ultimately finds the murderer of his grandmother and kills him. |
| 227 | * ToxicWasteCanDoAnything: At age 13, Elvin Haliday was exposed to toxic waste after coming home from basketball practice. Returning to his grandmother's home, he was nursed back to health. The chemicals caused Elvin's teenage body to grow into adulthood in a matter of weeks, but also endowed him with superhuman strength, speed, and stamina. Encouraged by his grandmother to use his newfound abilities for good, Elvin adopted a costume and name: Rage. |
| 228 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Youngest person to ever join the Avengers at 14. When the other members found out he was a minor, he was given probationary status, then demoted to becoming a member of the ''ComicBook/NewWarriors'' when he helped them steal a Quinjet to help them on a mission. |

| 240 | Miguel Santos became Living Lightning, a being of electric energy after investigating one of his terrorist father's illegal experiments to seize control of the country. After a brief career as a misguided villain, Living Lightning became a member of the Avengers until eventually retiring from the team to enroll in college. Living Lightning remains active as a hero, balancing college work with heroism and is currently a member of the Rangers. |
| 241 | ---- |
| 242 | %%* BarrierWarrior |
| 243 | * BatmanGambit: He famously defeated the Grandmaster by relying on this in ''ComicBook/AvengersNoSurrender'', provoking him into a game of poker and then raising the stakes to a level that he gambled the Grandmaster wouldn't want to risk, when if the Grandmaster took his bait Miguel would have had all of his achievements erased and be reduced to a D-list loser in the public eye. |
| 244 | * CampGay: Miguel generally doesn't display any stereotypical gay tendencies, except for a brief moment in ''No Surrender'', when he calmly tells the Grandmaster: |
| 245 | -->'''Lightning:''' "Oh, honey. I don't '''play'''." |
| 246 | * ComingOutStory: During his tenure in the West Coast Avengers, Miguel dated women. Later, though, Miguel was approached by members of the Great Lakes Avengers, who hoped to recruit them for their team. When he heard the team's acronym (GLA), Miguel mistook them for the Gay/Lesbian Alliance and inadvertently revealed that he was gay to GLA member Flatman. Followed by... |
| 247 | * {{Flight}}: Lightning has the ability to transform his body into electrical plasma, in which form he can fly at sub-light speed. |
| 248 | * OneSteveLimit: By the time of ''ComicBook/AvengersNoSurrender'', he's changed his name simply to "Lightning", as he kept getting mistaken for the [[Characters/IronManCentralRoguesGallery Living Laser]]. |
| 249 | * ShockAndAwe: Lightning has the ability to transform his body into electrical plasma, in which form he can fly at sub-light speed, generate electrical power as shocks or bolts, and surround himself with a protective electrical force field. |

| 264 | Delroy Garrett Jr. was an Olympic sprinter destined for the gold. So driven was he to win, he started taking steroid supplements. Soon after he was discovered and banned from competing, and was stripped of all his medals. Distraught and directionless, he wandered aimlessly through life until happening upon a religious group called the Triune Understanding. They gave Delroy the direction he so desperately sought, while also mysteriously helping unlock the amazing power within him. He became Triathlon, and soon after joined the Avengers. |
| 265 | ---- |
| 266 | * AffirmativeActionLegacy: Of the first 3-D Man, who was white. |
| 267 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: None of the new/younger heroes he meets (including fellow former Avengers like Rage) show him any of the "respect for seniority" that he feels he deserves post-Avengers. This gets even worse for him years later after joining Orchis, angry that he was supposedly booted from the Initiative despite leading the cavalry against the Skrulls just because he killed Crusader. [[spoiler: This is ultimately nonsense. He was always on the side of the Avengers.]] |
| 268 | * FaceHeelTurn: In ''ComicBook/FallOfTheHouseOfXCrossover'', we find out he joined Orchis. [[spoiler: He was actually a double-agent for T'Challa.]] |
| 269 | * GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: They initially assisted him in detecting Skrull impostors. Now, he doesn't need them anymore, learning to rely solely on his own abilities. |
| 270 | * JackOfAllStats: He has abilities three times what a human in peak condition would have, however, none of it matches the top-tier guys in each of those areas (Say, Hulk, Quicksilver, Wolverine, Daredevil, etc.) but putting it all together makes him pretty potent. |
| 271 | * LegacyCharacter: He's the second 3-D Man. He eventually starts going by that actual name when he joins the Comicbook/AgentsOfAtlas. |
| 272 | * TheMole: [[spoiler:He infiltrates Orchis as an "Avengers expert" by pretending he's pissed at them over what happened during the Initiative. To sell the ruse, he requests he has his memories altered until the moment when he can finally help the team strike back, so that way even ''he'' believes he's working for Orchis and they don't suspect anything.]] |
| 273 | * OnceDoneNeverForgotten: A C-List former Avenger at best, what recognition he could've gained by exposing the Skrull infiltrators during ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' instead became notoriety after he shot [[DefectorFromDecadence Crusader]] in the head just as the fighting ended. He left the Initiative with most of the recruits hating his guts and showing no remorse for his actions. Despite later joining the Agents of Atlas, Crusader's murder was still held over his head to the point he joined Orchis for payback on the Avengers for supposedly being ungrateful. [[spoiler: This is a lie. He is a double agent, and had in fact planned on exploiting his reputation to convince Orchis he was willing to take the Avengers down.]] |
| 274 | * TheResenter: Of the NeverMyFault variety. By the time of ''Fall of the House of X'', we find out that he believes that the Avengers were ungrateful for his actions with the Skrull invasion, even suggesting they threw him out of the Initiative instead of him actually leaving on his own. |
| 275 | * SelfServingMemory: After joining Orchis, he claims he was kicked out of the Initiative for killing Crusader when in reality he left because the other recruits were all pissed at him for killing their friend. [[spoiler:This is later revealed to be an edited memory ''he'' insisted on as part of a ploy to make Orchis believe he wanted to take the Avengers down.]] |

| 340 | Once the Bride of Ultron, Jocasta has become an honorary member of the Avengers after years of loyalty and sacrifice. She had until most recently held a position at The Avengers Academy. |
| 341 | ---- |
| 342 | * BrainUploading: Ultron originally intended her to have Janet's brain. It didn't quite take, but Jocasta has enough of Janet's memory engrams in her to say she's sure what Janet might think. |
| 343 | * ChromeChampion: Her bodies are usually silver colored. |
| 344 | %%* ComboPlatterPowers |
| 345 | * EnergyWeapon: One of her many abilities is shooting lasers. |
| 346 | * GoodCounterpart: She's pretty much the good version of Ultron. She has her own EvilCounterpart in Alkhema. |
| 347 | * MeaningfulName: Named after the mythical Jocasta, wife and mother of Oedipus. The robotic version has Ultron in a similar role - she was his 'daughter' but created as his wife (and Janet Van Dyne, the template for her mind, was perceived as his mother, of sorts). Her relationship with Hank Pym has a hint of this as well. |
| 348 | * NonHumansLackAttributes: While she doesn't wear clothes, she doesn't have the human attributes that would make her indecent. |
| 349 | * RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Not only does she have a ridiculously human personality, but Jocasta can actually alter her physical appearance to look completely indistinguishable from an actual human. |
| 350 | * RoboRomance: She's had a long-standing on-again off-again romance with fellow robot [[ComicBook/MachineMan Aaron Stack the Machine Man.]] |
| 351 | * RobotGirl |
| 352 | * RobotHair: She's a robotic copy of [[ComicBook/TheWasp Janet Van Dyne]], and thus has a head shaped like her hairstyle. |

| 356 | * WeCanRebuildHim: She was destroyed, but rebuilt during the 80s by agents of the High Evolutionary wishing to use her knowledge of the Avengers against them. Given much of Jocasta's original body was destroyed, they had to remake a lot of her body from back-up plans. Happened again afterwards, with Sunset Bain appropriating her remains for a while. |
| 357 | * YankTheDogsChain: Rebuilt during "The Evolutionary War", and then she has to sacrifice herself to stop the High Evolutionary's schemes. |

| 394 | An incarnation of Hyperion from Earth-13034, he was brought into Earth-616 when he was saved from his dying universe by A.I.M., who intended to use him for their atypical generic evil plots. It is revealed in his origin issue that this Hyperion's Earth was destroyed by a universal incursion, a problem that the Illuminati where dealing with in New Avengers. Hyperion was liberated by the Avengers and afterwards was offered to become a member of the team.

| 566 | * BrattyHalfPint: For a period, which is probably not helped by being raised by Rocket Raccoon in the dystopian ''Heroes Reborn'' reality, a rapid PlotRelevantAgeUp which meant she lacked the emotional maturity to deal with her powers, and the somewhat murderous default settings of the Starbrand power. Captain America mildly but pointedly knocks her out of it by telling her about her mother. |

| 665 | |
| 666 | A duplicate of the original [[Characters/IronManCentralRoguesGallery Whitney Frost aka Madame Masque]], an Iron Man foe and occasional love interest. Masque's creation was brought on by the writer's attempts to explain why the original Madame Masque seemed to have died multiple times. It was revealed that the real Madame Masque was so paranoid that she had bio-synthetic duplicates of herself created to act on her behalf while she remained hidden and safe. This particular duplicate escaped before she could be fully imprinted with Whitney's personality and so she wandered the world, eventually settling in as an ally to the Avengers and a heroine for a short time before her death. |
| 667 | ---- |
| 668 | * ActionGirl: Just like the original. |
| 669 | * BadassNormal: She fought alongside the Avengers and has no powers. Pretty much a requirement. |

| 672 | * ExpendableClone: What she was intended to be, but she escaped before she could be imprinted into believing she was the real Madame Masque. As such, she acted like a different person. |
| 673 | * FemmeFatale: Again, like the original. |
| 674 | * HandCannon: Carried firearms that fired "taser blasts." |
| 675 | * HeroicSacrifice: Gave her life trying to save the Avengers from Count Nefaria. Her sacrifice also inspired the real Madame Masque to take a stand against Nefaria too. |
| 676 | * HolographicDisguise: Wears an image inducer that she used to appear as Bethany Cabe, as well as several of Tony Stark's other love interests. |
| 677 | * KilledOffForReal: By Count Nefaria's laser vision. He believed her to be his daughter, the real Madame Masque. |
| 678 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Had this going with the Black Widow, perhaps because the two were so similar. |
| 679 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Was brought around for a few issues, disappeared only to reappear for her death. |
