| 58 | |
| 59 | Matt's priest, who Matt comes to in times of personal and spiritual crisis. |
| 60 | ---- |
| 61 | * BeliefMakesYouStupid: Inverted. When Father Lantom was in seminary, he was among the more skeptical candidates, and questioned the existence of Satan. His doubts were dispelled during his time in Rwanda during the 1994 genocides, when he witnessed a particularly horrific murder. |
| 62 | * ConfessInConfidence: He's Matt's first and best outlet for his mixed feelings over his vigilantism, and takes the confessional seal very, very seriously. |
| 63 | * {{Confessional}}: The first shot of the series is of Matt and Father Lantom in the confessional, with Matt attempting to rationalize the vigilante quest he's about to embark upon. |
| 64 | * CoolOldGuy: He's very understanding of Matt's actions, if not entirely accepting, and constantly challenges Matt to question his assumptions, which ends up making him a better Daredevil. He's also something of a father surrogate, representing the moral, Catholic side of Jack Murdock. |
| 65 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Dex impales him with a blunt baton thrown with enough force to break through his rib cage.]] |
| 66 | * DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments, though they're uncommon. For instance, when presiding over Ben's funeral: |
| 67 | -->'''Father Lantom:''' How are you holding up?\ |
| 68 | '''Matt Murdock:''' Like a good Catholic boy.\ |
| 69 | '''Father Lantom:''' That bad, huh? |
| 70 | * DemotedToExtra: In Season 1, he's a supporting character. In Season 2, he only appears for Grotto's funeral. In Season 3, he gets a lot more scenes focusing on his past with Matt, [[spoiler:[[DeathInTheLimelight only to be killed by Dex while shielding Karen]].]] |
| 71 | * {{Determinator}}: He ''will'' get that cup of coffee with Matt. That is, he knew Matt was planning on doing something dangerous, and he was determined to guide him through it. |
| 72 | * DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:He gets impaled by one of Dex's batons trying to stop Dex from killing Karen.]] |
| 73 | * GiveMeASign: Unintentionally, but when he worked in Rwanda around the time of the genocide in 1994, he knew a very respected local elder, whom no one would harm. Eventually, the commander of the Hutu militia met with the elder, and they talked for hours. Then the commander hacked the elder ''and his family'' to death in front of the whole village, which Lantom witnessed. He took this as a sign from God that his doubts about the existence and nature of Satan (and, therefore, ultimate evil) were wrong, and that he saw the face of evil in that commander. |
| 74 | * GodIsFlawed: Father Lantom is fairly critical of some of God's actions, especially allowing for the existence of evil, which he concludes must have been part of God's plan (since God is omnipotent). He decides that God's reason for allowing evil to exist is to terrify humanity into following "the Path of the Righteous" i.e. become better people. Lantom isn't happy about this, but realizes that God is equally responsible for the good as the bad. |
| 75 | * GodIsGood: Lantom believes that God is a fan of ToughLove. Everyone is created for a purpose, a reason for being, and He provides guidance to those seeking it. This purpose may be difficult (just ask the martyrs who died "bloody and alone") and the guidance might be graphic but it's there. |
| 76 | * GoodCannotComprehendEvil: He once doubted true evil to exist, that there couldn't be people that dark and dangerous. Then he saw the brutal murder of a good man by a very evil person. |
| 77 | * GoodShepherd: Invites many of his parishioners in for a talk over coffee, including blind vigilantes. He also agrees to shelter Karen in the church after she makes herself a target of Fisk's, which gets him killed when Dex tracks her down. |
| 78 | * MoralityChain: Helps convince Matt of his better nature, and prevent him from crossing the line into killing. |
| 79 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: He was only known as Lantom in the comics, but is given the first name Paul in the MCU. |
| 80 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:It's mostly because of the seal of confession, but he's one of the few that know of Matt's vigilantism. He and Maggie also keep Matt's living status quiet while he's recovering from Midland Circle. Finally it turns out that he is one of the few people in the world who knows that Maggie is actually Matt's mother but kept that information to himself in the hopes she would reach out to her son herself.]] |
| 81 | * SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler:He easily figured out that Matt was "the Devil of Hell's Kitchen" from their confessionals, but didn't say anything until Matt was about to reveal the secret.]] |

| 98 | * AdaptationalNameChange: Not exactly a name change, since her name in the comics is also Maggie Grace, [[spoiler:but she never married Jack Murdock in this adaptation, and thus has a different last name than her son, Matt]]. |
| 99 | * ChekhovsGunman: She gets teased a few times prior to being introduced in Season 3: |
| 100 | ** In Season 1, Jack leaves an answering machine message to her prior to his match with Creel, asking her to take care of Matt. |
| 101 | ** In the last shot of ''The Defenders'', a nun can be heard saying "Get Maggie, tell her he's awake" as Matt regains consciousness in the convent. This shot is repeated for ''Daredevil'' season 3 [[OnceMoreWithClarity but with more context]]. |
| 102 | * DeadpanSnarker: She tends to snark at Matt when he is high on his pity parade. |
| 103 | -->'''Maggie:''' I just want you to know I think you're a real hero, sitting down here feeling sorry for yourself. |
| 104 | * UsefulNotes/{{Depression}}: [[spoiler:Maggie suffered from postpartum depression shortly after giving birth to Matt, sadly it was during a time when such things weren't well known so she left Matt and Jack believing that she would hurt her son.]] |
| 105 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She chides Matt for wallowing in self-pity, after he had lost Elektra and got seriously injured, even though she [[spoiler:abandoned him as a child, and retreated into the church when she was suffering from postpartum depression]]. |
| 106 | * ItsAllMyFault: Maggie believes that all of the pain that Matt suffers is because [[spoiler:she abandoned him as a child and her failure to reach out to him at any point since then led to him nearly killing himself as a vigilante]]. |
| 107 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: Comic book readers know she would [[spoiler:be [[LukeIAmYourFather revealed as Matt Murdock's mother]] at some point.]] |
| 108 | * LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:Matt finds out she is his mother midway through Season 3. He doesn't take it too well.]] |
| 109 | * TheLostLenore: She teaches Matt his loss isn't unusual by relating how she loved Jack so much that she nearly gave up on becoming a nun after giving birth to Matt. Her decision to take vows meant the two could never be together, and worse, he died shortly after Maggie left him. |
| 110 | * TheMedic: She is in charge of caring for Matt in the weeks he spends recovering from having a building drop on him. It doesn't take long until he goes out on the streets to fight goons and from there, she's almost always sewing new wounds shut in her scenes with Matt. Her medical care gives her the in she needs to try and help Matt spiritually when he insists cosplaying Satan is the best way to live. |
| 111 | * MetaCasting: She's a nun played by an actress who attended convent school. |
| 112 | * MissingMom: Zig-zagged. [[spoiler:She left Jack when Matt was a baby. When Stick asks about her to the nuns when first approaching Matt, the nuns tell him that "it's a long story". But it turns out, she did raise Matt, albeit in secret and as a nun, when he grew up at the orphanage.]] |
| 113 | * MoralityPet: Maggie helps Matt with his questionable activities as the Devil at the cost of insisting he get back in touch with his friends and keep his faith in God. Matt spends most of the season ignoring her and the few times he agrees to reach out tend to go badly. [[spoiler:Her most successful call to morality is actually towards Ray Nadeem, getting him to turn against Dex and Fisk after Maggie pins Father Lantom's murder on him.]] |
| 114 | * NaughtyNuns: [[spoiler:As a novitiate she talks her friends into going to a boxing match, where [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys she meets and later falls for Battlin' Jack Murdock.]] However she interprets her postpartum depression as a sign from God that she made a mistake and should return to the Church.]] |
| 115 | * SecretKeeper: Father Lantom tells her about Matt's secret identity so she knows why he showed up to the church half-dead. After cursing Father Lantom out, she swears all the sisters to secrecy and maintains her own even as Matt slowly kills himself by picking fights in Hell's Kitchen. |

| 148 | * ArmoredClosetGay: He's deeply closeted and cheats on his wife with men, which Jeri uses as blackmail against him. But since she's gay herself, she has a tiny shred of sympathy for him and outright tells him he'd be saving a lot of trouble and would be less vulnerable to blackmail if he just came out rather than keeping it a secret. Even Malcolm says this when approaching Benowitz at Whisker's. |

| 178 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She's arrested for [[spoiler:Wendy's]] murder and her fate isn't elaborated on in the season finale, and while she does kinda have a credible self-defense justification, the fact she doesn't have a bunch of witnesses like Jessica and wants absolutely nothing to do with the one witness that could defend her certainly don't help.

| 209 | |
| 210 | Foggy Nelson's girlfriend, a young attorney in Manhattan cutting her own path through white collar law. |
| 211 | ---- |
| 212 | * AmoralAttorney: Invoked by Foggy when he and Karen meet Marci for Elena's case. "You used to have a soul." But it turns out Marci has standards, and is easily persuaded to turn against her partners who are in Wilson Fisk's pocket. |
| 213 | * AscendedExtra: Marci spends the first two seasons as a recurring character and OneSceneWonder, with four episodes in Season 1 and two in Season 2. In Season 3, Marci has a somewhat larger presence at five episodes, and actively plays a part in Foggy's storyline, being the one to suggest that he run against Blake Tower as a write-in for District Attorney, while a case she's working on ends up being the key that allows Foggy to figure out that Fisk is planning to make himself the man that all criminals will have to turn to to get protection from prosecution. |
| 214 | * BetaCouple: With Foggy, as their relationship is much more steady than the rocky WillTheyOrWontThey that [[OfficialCouple Matt and Karen]]. |
| 215 | * CanonForeigner: Marci has no comics equivalent. Although her role in Foggy's campaign for District Attorney in Season 3 does give her some traits of Deborah Harris, Foggy's first wife from the comics. |
| 216 | * DemotedToExtra: After playing a somewhat major part in the resolution of Season 1, Marci only gets two scenes in Season 2: having drinks with Foggy at Josie's to give him some information about Reyes, and later visiting him at the hospital after he gets shot. In ''Defenders'' she just gets mentioned by Foggy, confirming the two are still dating, and a two second scene of talking to Foggy in the background that's interrupted with Jeri taking Foggy aside to ask him to babysit Jessica. Season 3 reverses the trend and gives Marci five episodes. |
| 217 | * EveryoneHasStandards: |
| 218 | ** Marci stops mispronouncing Elena Cardenas' name after she is murdered, since she thinks it's cruel to make jokes about people who have been murdered. Given Fisk's smear campaign against Matt's alter ego, she's also initially hesitant to trust the information that Matt manages to obtain from Owlsley. In the season 3 finale, she accepts Foggy's invitation to come to Father Lantom's funeral. |
| 219 | ** Marci has disdain for Reyes. The fact that Reyes has a serious shot at the Mayor's chair in the 2017 elections off an anti-vigilante platform is enough to make her [[INeedAFreakingDrink desire a very bitter drink]]. |
| 220 | * {{Foil}}: To Jeri Hogarth. Both are women in a very male-dominated profession who have to put up a front of ruthlessness to be taken seriously by male lawyers. Where they differ is that Jeri [[BecomingTheMask ended up becoming a ruthless shark willing to do outright illegal things for her own selfish reasons]], while Marci has managed to avoid that. |
| 221 | * HelloAttorney: She's a stunning blonde who rocks powersuits, which doesn't escape Foggy's notice. |
| 222 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: Marci doesn't make any appearances in ''Jessica Jones'' despite the fact that she joined Hogarth Chao & Benowitz right after Fisk was arrested and thus was around while the saga with Kilgrave was going on in ''Jessica Jones'' season 1, plus Jeri's involvement in the IGH case in ''Jessica Jones'' season 2. And her and Foggy's employment status following the dissolution of Hogarth Chao & Benowitz is unknown.[[note]]In the former case, it's because no one expected ''Daredevil'' Season 2 at the time ''Jessica Jones'' Season 1 was written, so Marci being hired in is a simple retcon. In the latter case, considering how Jeri rejected Foggy's efforts to help her with her legal battle against Chao and Benowitz, Marci also probably decided to keep out of the drama.[[/note]] |
| 223 | * HighHeelFaceTurn: The only female attorney we've seen at Landman & Zack, and she's the one who sells out the ones doing Fisk's dirty work. |
| 224 | * ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Downplayed. When Foggy demolishes her legal arguments on the tenement case, and, for good measure, mixes in a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, Marci's reaction demonstrates both [[{{Touche}} respect]] ''and'' attraction. |
| 225 | -->'''Marci Stahl:''' You would've killed it here, Foggy Bear! You never should've left. |
| 226 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She tends to push Foggy to do things that she thinks will be great for his career, like recommending him to Jeri Hogarth, or suggesting he run against Blake Tower for the office of D.A. to get Tower's inaction against Fisk out in the spotlight. |
| 227 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In her time working for Landman & Zack, she seems to have become the same sort of apathetic asshole as her partners. However, Foggy's appeals to the fact that she used to "have a soul" get the better of her and she begins to question her superiors and collaborate with Foggy and Matt to expose Fisk. Really, she's the only white collar lawyer in the Netflix shows who is a genuinely nice person and is not driven by greed or selfish motivations. In Season 3, she even motivates Foggy into running for District Attorney. |
| 228 | ** [[https://seat42f.com/daredevil-and-taken-scoop-shining-the-spotlight-on-amy-rutberg.html In the words of Amy Rutberg]]: |
| 229 | -->'''Amy Rutberg:''' "Marci is always straight and brutally honest with Foggy, more so than Matt or Karen in a way. She has his best interest at heart because she loves him and knows him. She may not always be right about what he needs, but it comes from the right place — protection and love." |
| 230 | * LovableAlphaBitch: She certainly looks the part, and makes no secret of being selfish and mostly interested in her own career, but she has moral standards and her open bitchiness can be strangely endearing. |
| 231 | * MealTicket: While she genuinely loves Foggy, her push for him to run for District Attorney has some degree of being motivated by the logic that if Foggy wins, then her being the DA's girlfriend could provide her with new career opportunities. After Foggy officially drops out of the race at the end of Season 3, she admits she was just starting to get adjusted to the idea of being married to the district attorney. |
| 232 | * MookFaceTurn[=/=]HighHeelFaceTurn: After Foggy convinces her that her bosses are corrupt, she gets Matt and Foggy information of Wilson Fisk's dealings with Landman & Zack. |
| 233 | * OfficeRomance: Marci and Foggy begin dating seriously while they're working for Jeri Hogarth. |
| 234 | * RelationshipUpgrade: Or re-upgrade, as Marci rekindles her flame with Foggy between Seasons 1 and 2, and they've moved in together at the start of ''Daredevil'' Season 3. |
| 235 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When her bosses and other people of Landman & Zack are indicted she resigns, disgusted at having worked at such a corrupt place. She later takes on a job at Jeri Hogarth's firm. |
| 236 | * SheepInWolfsClothing: Marci is the only white collar New York attorney we've seen across the Netflix shows who displays compassion and selflessness towards others and isn't willingly engaging in criminal activity (unlike Joy Meachum, Jeri Hogarth, Ben Donovan, or Chao and Benowitz). |
| 237 | * SleekHighRiseApartment: She lives in an Upper East Side high-rise in Season 1. By Season 3, she and Foggy are living in a condo in Williamsburg. |
| 238 | * TookALevelInKindness: Foggy's appealing to Marci having "used to have a soul" really gets to her. In both of her appearances in Season 2, we can see that since joining HC&B, Marci has become considerably nicer and has a more amicable relationship with Foggy. They also go back into a committed relationship once Foggy joins her at HC&B. |

| 253 | |
| 254 | The Stokes family lawyer, as well as the senior counsel on Wilson Fisk's legal team. |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Donovan in the comics had Luke Cage for a client. This version has only ever provided legal services for crime lords. Though by the end of ''Luke Cage'' Season 2, he is working for Luke as Luke acquires Harlem's Paradise. |
| 257 | * AdaptationalWimp: Donovan has none of the physical prowess of his comic book counterpart. He also easily spills the beans when Matt garrotes him in his car. |
| 258 | * AmoralAttorney: Mama Mabel put him through law school and groomed him to be the family lawyer and fixer for the Stokes family. Misty Knight calls him a "snake" and a "flunky" when he shows up during Candace's interrogation, indicating that his reputation is pretty well known to the NYPD. In time, his reputation as a crooked lawyer becomes known enough that Fisk hires him to handle his defense. |
| 259 | * BrutalHonesty: He is always willing to tell Fisk things as they are, cautioning him about his limited funds and the fact that his efforts to get Fisk out of jail are going to take a while due to the strength of the state's case against him. |
| 260 | * CompensatingForSomething: Mariah insinuates that [[TeenyWeenie he used to be called "Big Ben" for this]]. |
| 261 | * TheConsigliere: He definitely is serving Fisk in this capacity, and is one for Mariah to a lesser extent. |
| 262 | * DangerTakesABackseat: He's on the receiving end of this when Matt, who's learned about Fisk's snitching on the Albanians, hides in the backseat of his car and strangles him from behind when he gets in. Matt chokes Donovan until he admits the truth about why Fisk snitched (to get Vanessa's legal issues resolved), and is then forced to abandon his interrogation when an FBI unit monitoring Donovan show up to rescue him. |
| 263 | * DontAnswerThat: His go-to remark when getting Stokes associates out of interrogations. |
| 264 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 265 | ** He almost shits himself when Mariah orders the elimination of any and all witnesses who could testify against her, until Mariah tells him that he's exempt, owing to attorney-client privilege as well as the other criminals he has connections with. |
| 266 | ** He's uneasy about Fisk's plan to use Frank Castle to dispose of Dutton, as evident in the tone when Fisk is discussing arranging payments to the guards to get Frank to blow his trial. |
| 267 | --->'''Benjamin Donovan:''' This guard you've spoken to... do I ''want'' to know what he will be asking him to do? |
| 268 | * EvilHasABadSenseOfHumour: |
| 269 | ** Before letting Matt see Fisk, he gives Matt a lengthy spiel about how he is to not to discuss this meeting with Fisk to anyone in any official capacity, and when Matt points out that that's a lot of rules, quips, [[EvilLawyerJoke "Rules are what separate us from the animals, Mr. Murdock."]] |
| 270 | ** Joins in with the other cops in making several ill jokes towards Misty's missing arm. |
| 271 | --->'''Big Ben Donovan:''' Detective! As always, I find your charm ''disarming''. |
| 272 | * FamilyBusiness: Mama Mabel put him through law school, and he's been the Stokes family lawyer for 25 years. |
| 273 | * {{Foil}}: He's a lot like Fisk, just more in control. And he's filling Wesley's old role, but not with the overconfidence or cruelty that cost Wesley his life. |
| 274 | * GroinAttack: Mariah at one point squeezes his family jewels in order to intimidate him, while saying, "I thought they called you [[TeenyWeenie Big Ben]]." |
| 275 | * PlayingBothSides: He temporarily drops Mariah as a client after Bushmaster steals all of her money, and signs on with Bushmaster. Then it turns out he was simply looking for a way to reverse the theft. [[IFightForTheStrongestSide Or so he claims.]] |
| 276 | * SmugSnake: He ''oozes'' smugness in near-every scene he's in, with all the satisfaction of a man who knows damn well he's pissing off everyone in the room and that they can't do a damn thing about it. |
| 277 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Fisk, he's taken over some of James Wesley's former duties, including the arrangement of payments to his underlings. Most of Wesley's other duties, though, are now handled by Felix Manning. |

| 367 | |
| 368 | The editor-in-chief at the ''New York Bulletin''. |
| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | * AmbiguouslyJewish: He greets Karen a Happy Hanukkah when giving her a present. |
| 371 | * AscendedExtra: He gets much more presence in ''Daredevil'' seasons 2 and 3 and ''The Punisher'' season 1, once Karen gets hired on at the ''Bulletin''. |
| 372 | * CanonForeigner: He was created because during production of ''Daredevil'' Season 1, Marvel Studios didn't have the rights to ComicBook/SpiderMan yet and hence, neither J. Jonah Jameson nor the ''Daily Bugle'' could be used. The ''New York Bulletin'' itself, however, isn't a CanonForeigner and has been around in the mainstream comic since 2009. |
| 373 | * CanonImmigrant: Downplayed, he's mentioned in the mainstream comic ''Kingpin'' in 2017, [[TheGhost but has yet to make a proper onscreen appearance]]. |
| 374 | * CharacterDevelopment: In Season 2, he's far more helpful towards Karen's investigation and willing to investigate the truth, [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute filling in]] for Urich. |
| 375 | * TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: By Ellison's own admission, he can remember the dates of important news stories off the top of his head, but has a hard time remembering his own kids' birthdays. |
| 376 | * CynicalMentor: For all he's a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and a grouch, he's also driven by the needs of the market and the reality that the newspaper's archives are all kept ''on paper''. He has to ride herd on the bitter old extreme Ben Urich and the young and driven Karen Page... but he manages them both. |
| 377 | * DaEditor: To Urich's (and later Karen's) IntrepidReporter. |
| 378 | * DeadpanSnarker: It's more pronounced in Season 2, but he's always been a snarker. |
| 379 | * DecompositeCharacter: With Jameson making his proper debut as conspiracy-driven news host, it becomes evident that Ellison inherited all of Jameson's good attributes, such as caring for his employees and belief in honest press. |
| 380 | * DistressedDude: He's left in such a position when Fisk sends Dex to his newsroom to eliminate Jasper Evans. He ends up being stabbed with a pencil, but survives, while Foggy and Karen are overpowered, and Jasper is killed. |
| 381 | * EtTuBrute: Urich accuses Ellison of being paid off by Fisk and ensuring that his remaining career is limited to fluff pieces. After Urich's death, Karen angrily confides in Matt that Ellison shouldn't have even been at Urich's funeral pretending to be his friend. The arrests, however, prove that he's not complicit. Fisk's mole was ''his secretary''. Leading to a blink-and-you'll-miss-it MyGodWhatHaveIDone durin the last episode of the first season of Daredevil. |
| 382 | * ExpyCoexistence: He was created to replace J. Jonah Jameson, as Marvel Studios had not yet aquired the rights to Spider-Man and most of his supporting cast. Jameson would end up making a cameo in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', albeit [[ReimaginingTheArtifact reimagined]] as an Alex Jones style PompousPoliticalPundit. This character is ''far'' more reasonable and supportive and a kind mentor than any JJJ we've seen in any spiderverse movie. |
| 383 | * AFatherToHisMen: It's made pretty clear he cares for his employees. He takes it ''especially hard'' in Season 3, after he is wounded and several of his employees are killed by Dex. |
| 384 | * HappilyMarried: To his wife Lily, who runs a magazine. |
| 385 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: At first, Ellison comes off as a moronic jerk who cares only about readership; in reality he's a sharply intelligent journalist who cares deeply about the reporters who work for him and believes in the value of the press. This becomes much more apparent once Karen begins working for him. |
| 386 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 387 | ** He's correct to call Ben out on his attempts to run stories about Fisk's mother without reliable sources. |
| 388 | ** While he refuses to let Karen participate in stories pertaining to Fisk, he's right to say that her past association with Fisk means that it's a conflict of interest for her to be writing stories about him. |
| 389 | * LastNameBasis: Everyone only addresses Ellison by his last name. His first name of Mitchell is only brought up in credits during ''Daredevil'' Season 2, and only spoken out loud in Season 3 when Karen is having dinner with his wife and nephew. |
| 390 | * LikeASonToMe: He never says it out loud, but Ellison clearly sees Karen as a surrogate daughter. |
| 391 | * TheMatchmaker: Ellison and his wife, a magazine publisher, were set up by their college newspaper editor. He tries to use a dinner to set up Karen with his nephew, but it goes nowhere due to Karen still grieving Matt and the dinner being cut short by the news of Fisk's release. The fact that Lily spills the beans during dinner, making everything ''super awkward'', doesn't help. |
| 392 | * TheMentor: Becomes this for Karen Page, filling in the void left by Urich's death. |
| 393 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Upon learning Ben was right about Fisk when Ellison's secretary is outed as TheMole; Ellison can only lower his head in absolute shame, realizing his inaction played a part in Ben's death. |
| 394 | * NotSoStoic: The normally reserved Ellison is livid about Fisk sending Dex to kill several of his employees, especially when he realizes Karen knows Daredevil's real identity and is refusing to tell him it. |
| 395 | * ThePenIsMightier: Dex stabs him with a pencil during his attack on the ''Bulletin''. |
| 396 | * PetTheDog: For all his griping over keeping the paper lucrative in wake of the rise of social media, he's also concerned with Urich's wellbeing and that of his wife. Though it is soured by the fact that it sometimes comes across as CondescendingCompassion. His mentoring Karen in Season 2, however, further emphasizes this status, as is his anger over Fisk attacking the paper. |
| 397 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's trying his best to keep the ''Bulletin'' in business in the face of social media and the growing disinterest in important stories. This brings him into conflict with Ben. In Season 3, even after Karen quits because she refuses to sell out Matt, Ellison is still willing to listen to Karen when she comes to him to tip him off about Ray Nadeem testifying before the grand jury and agrees to call a press conference for her to denounce Fisk. He also assists Karen with ensuring Nadeem's death confession gets posted on the Internet. |
| 398 | * RedHerring: After it is hinted he may be Fisk's mole in the newspaper, it turns out it was not him but Caldwell. |
| 399 | * ShipperOnDeck: At the start of Season 3, he invites Karen to dinner with his wife and nephew. An accidental slip of the tongue from Lily, though, causes Karen to realize Mitchell is trying to set her up with Jason, which she takes issue with as she's still hung up on her grief from losing Matt. |
| 400 | * TookALevelInKindness: Season 1 depicted him as rather unsympathetic as a way to set him as a RedHerring for Fisk's mole inside the Bulletin. When Karen approaches him in Season 2, he is much more helpful, genuinely shows concern for her and expresses regret about Urich's death. A freeze-frame of an assignment board in one episode will show that he also has revamped the editorial priorities to focus on important events instead of fluff pieces. |
| 401 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: He orders sauerkrauts from a particular food cart every day at around 11:40 am, making it easy for Karen to track him down when she needs to tip him off about Ray Nadeem's impending grand jury hearing as well as arrange a press conference for Karen to publicly denounce Fisk for trying to have her killed. |
| 402 | * WhatTheHellHero: He calls out Ben for trying to push an uncorroborated story about Fisk. In ''The Punisher'', he also puts Karen on notice when he realizes she secretly has been helping Frank. It gets much, ''much'' worse in ''Daredevil'' Season 3, after Fisk sends Dex to attack the ''Bulletin'', during which several employees are killed and Ellison is put in the hospital. While recovering, he realizes that Karen knows the real Daredevil's identity, and fires her when she refuses to give up Matt. |

| 417 | A veteran reporter for the ''New York Bulletin'' who mentors Karen as she throws herself into cleaning up corruption in Hell's Kitchen. |
| 418 | ---- |
| 419 | * CelebrityParadox: The ''Franchise/DieHard'' films exists in the MCU, due to being referenced by Ant-Man in ''Film/AvengersEndgame''. Curtis-Hall played one of Colonel Stuart's soldiers in ''Film/DieHard2''. |
| 420 | * CoolOldGuy: He's in his mid-60s and has quite the reputation in Hell's Kitchen, with good reason. |

| 423 | * DeathByIrony: In Ben's first scene, he meets with an old mafia contact, Silvio, who says he's grateful to Ben for not dragging his family through the mud when he got out of prison. He ultimately meets his death due to speaking to Fisk's mother. |
| 424 | * HaveYouToldAnyoneElse: He's on the receiving end when Fisk asks him if anyone else was with him when he spoke to Marlene. Ben lies and says he was alone, to ensure that Fisk won't know about Karen snooping around. |
| 425 | * IntrepidReporter: He's chummy with old crime lords to get the scoop. He used to be more intrepid in his younger years. He's a bit slower with age, but no less determined to cover ''important'' stories. |
| 426 | * KnightInSourArmor: In his prime, Ben was a crusading reporter who single handedly brought down corrupt institutions whenever he saw them. He still is, but he deeply regrets the mistakes he's made along the way, is a lot more jaded about the way the world works and isn't the idealist he once was, to the point where he actively tries to keep Karen from making the mistakes he did and worries about her safety. |
| 427 | * TheLastDJ: Still believes in reporting the news that people need to hear, instead of the news they want to hear, unlike seemingly everyone else at the ''New York Bulletin''. |
| 428 | * MarriedToTheJob: Says as much himself in one of his conversations with Karen. His wife encourages him to go after the stories. |
| 429 | * MentorArchetype: For Karen, in ferreting out corruption without getting killed. |
| 430 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: Wilson Fisk ultimately kills him. Fisk does not know he was mentoring Karen but said mentoring indirectly lead to the situation where Fisk killed him. |
| 431 | * ProperlyParanoid: Ben is well aware that the man in the mask could be playing him and doesn't take anything he says at face value, he knows this is just another source of potentially tainted information and he needs to pursue and verify. |
| 432 | ** When Fisk confronts him in his home, he knows he's speaking to a very dangerous man, so plays his cards close to the chest and doesn't let Fisk know he has a partner. As a result, even though he only thought he was being threatened and not moments from death, he kept Karen safe from Fisk's rage. |
| 433 | * RaceLift: Normally depicted as a white man, here he's played by African-American Vondie Curtis-Hall. |
| 434 | * SacrificialLion: Wilson Fisk chokes him to death as he becomes increasingly desperate to keep his secrets hidden. |

| 699 | * IronicName: Ironic on multiple levels, thanks to time. His nickname is "Pop," which sounds like a reference to the fact that's the CoolOldGuy and a father figure to the youth of Harlem. It's actually a reference to his particularly brutal way of punching people back when he was younger and a gangster. The only person who knows it's true meaning in the present is Cottonmouth, and the fact that he still thinks of Pop that way is shown to bother Luke. |

| 702 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: In his younger days, Pop was known as a street brawler, who delivered vicious smackdowns on enemies. It's even where he got his nickname, because of the noise of his fists crashing into someone: snap, crackle, '''pop'''. |

| 835 | |
| 836 | Wilson Fisk's abusive father, who beats his wife and son — both physically and verbally — for every minor perceived weakness. |
| 837 | ---- |
| 838 | * AbusiveParent: Bill's idea of "making a man" out of Wilson involves demeaning him, teaching him to blame others for his problems (including blaming Wilson himself for his own problems) and playing cruel jokes on him. |
| 839 | * AdaptationalHeroism: While he's definitely no hero, Bill never becomes a part of the mafia like his ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' counterpart. |
| 840 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Is this compared to his ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' counterpart. While his counterpart was hardly father of the year material, this version's abuse of Wilson is more horrible. And with his animated counterpart having his son take the fall for his crime, that's saying something. |
| 841 | * AssholeVictim: When he goes missing, everyone who knows him assumes that he left the city to get away from the gangsters he was indebted to, or that they killed him for it. Either way, no one loses sleep over it and there didn't seem to be much investigation into his disappearance. |
| 842 | * BaldOfEvil: Well, balding. He is certainly a {{Jerkass}} {{Domestic Abuse}}r, however. |
| 843 | * CorruptPolitician: He has aspirations to be one, which is why he runs in the local elections. He funds his campaign by borrowing money from Rigoletto with the understanding that if elected he will repay the money through kickbacks. However, he loses and Rigoletto wants his money back. |
| 844 | * DomesticAbuse: He beats his wife savagely, in addition to being verbally abusive to her and their son. |
| 845 | * EvilCounterpart: He and Jack Murdock were complete opposites when it came to certain things they did with their kids. When Jack offers Matt a sip of alcohol, it looks like father and son bonding. When Bill does it to Wilson, it looks more like peer pressure. While both try to teach values to their kid despite hard living conditions, Jack wanted Matt to be an educated man who wouldn't have to take beating for a living like him, while Bill wanted Wilson to be just like him. |
| 846 | * HatedByAll: His campaign ratings aren't exactly clear, but if his general community opinions are anything to go by, he's not well liked and for good reason. |
| 847 | * HateSink: Bill is nothing more than a petty, hateful, cowardly abusive loser who makes his crime lord of a son look better in comparison. Not a single person in Hell's Kitchen misses him after he dies. |
| 848 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He lectures Wilson about giving respect to get it, but shows nobody respect while expecting it from others. |
| 849 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: For every time he gives a nugget of advice to his son or shows affection, there's an imminent swing in the opposite direction, or it's given at the expense of his wife. |
| 850 | * KarmicDeath: You wanted to toughen your son up, Bill? [[SarcasmMode Congratulations!]] You did exactly that, [[GoneHorriblyRight and he has your blood on his hands to prove it]]! Oh, and your biggest wish about being known and respected? Well, [[{{Unperson}} Wilson's had all public records of you erased, making sure no one remembers you]], and those who do remember you only remember you for your bad traits. |
| 851 | * NeverMyFault: Bill believes that the reason he lost the election is because his wife and son don't show him enough respect at home. Not because he's a vile, vicious, petty loser. |
| 852 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Invoked. When he goes missing, everyone assumes that he did this to get away from the mobsters to whom he owed money or, alternatively, that the mobsters caught him attempting to do this and killed him. His wife and son do nothing to dissuade people from this assumption since Wilson killed him to protect his mother and they both disposed of the body. It helps that everyone knew Bill was just the type of DirtyCoward to abandon his family in order to save himself. |
| 853 | * TooDumbToLive: Using money he borrowed from an infamous mob boss to fund his political campaign was a lose-lose situation. If he had won, he would've been in Rigoletto's pocket for life, in addition to living with the possible scandal that could have arisen if Bill had been exposed. There was no guarantee he would win, especially given the community's opinion on him. Naturally he loses, and given what his wife said, Bill likely would have ended up dead [[TheDogBitesBack even without his son's involvement]]. |
| 854 | * {{Unperson}}: Wilson has all public records of Bill erased. Ben Urich has trouble finding any records or photos of him. |
| 855 | * WouldHurtAChild: In addition to the verbal and psychological abuse he levels at Wilson, he beats up a teenager for knocking down his signs. After the election is over. And he forces Wilson to participate. |

| 870 | * BrokenBird: Due to the abuse suffered at Bill Fisk's hands. She tries to raise their son with gentleness and compassion, but Bill thinks it makes him too soft and less of a man. |

| 874 | * PutOnABus: Wilson has her moved to Italy right before he gets arrested, promising her that they have good ''zuppa inglese'' there. Unfortunately, she [[BusCrash dies there]] before Wilson can get out of jail. |
| 875 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: She inadvertently plays a small role in the demise of her son's empire, as her tipping off Wesley to the visit Karen and Ben made to her ends up getting Wesley killed, and that greatly destabilizes Wilson's ability to work on his criminal ventures. |
| 876 | * SupremeChef: Wilson loved the pastries she made as a child, particularly her ''zuppa inglese''. |

| 890 | |
| 891 | Matt's father, who was a boxer. He died before the start of the series, not long after Matt lost his sight. |
| 892 | ---- |
| 893 | * AlternateSelf: Has a variant on [[Characters/SpiderManTrilogyOthers Earth-96283]]. |
| 894 | * BadassNormal: He was tough as nails in the boxing ring, noted to specialise in soaking up punches until his opponent tires. In his last fight he beat Creel, a superhuman at least half his age. |
| 895 | * BookDumb: Acknowledges himself as only good for his fists, and thus pushes Matt to try hard in school so he doesn't end up like him. |
| 896 | * DeathByOriginStory: His death is a major part of Matt's backstory. |
| 897 | * ADeathInTheLimelight: Is heavily featured in flashbacks in the second episode, and dies at the end of it. |
| 898 | * TheDeterminator: Matt got the trait from him. He never was knocked out in the ring. Even when he took dives. |
| 899 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: He faces his impending demise with no fear, knowing that his son had got to hear the crowd cheer for him one last time. |
| 900 | * FatalFlaw: Pride. He knew fully well that not throwing the match would have fatal results, but he wanted his son to be proud of him, at least once. |
| 901 | * HeroicSacrifice: He decides not to lose in the fifth round as ordered to so that his son can hear the crowd cheering for him one more time, and also to set up his son with a trust fund by betting everything on himself. He is predictably killed for it. |
| 902 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: Stick suggests that Jack was at least partly motivated in his sacrifice to earn respect and glory for the first time in his life. The fact that Jack stops in his escape from the gym changing room to soak in the crowd's cheering suggests it played a part. |
| 903 | * {{Jobber}}: Took falls for a living. Even when he didn't he was more of a journeyman. |
| 904 | * MythologyGag: His yellow boxing shorts and red boxing gloves match the color scheme of the Daredevil costume as it first appeared in the comics. |
| 905 | * NiceGuy: A devoted father and all-around nice guy. |
| 906 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He defeated Carl "The Crusher" Creel, a boxer known for cheating by turning his hands under his gloves into fists of steel. |
| 907 | * OrderedToCheat: It was his turn to take a dive. However, he decided to win instead and was killed for it. |
| 908 | * PosthumousCharacter: He died long before the start of the series and is only shown in flashbacks. |
| 909 | * ThrowingTheFight: Roscoe Sweeney wanted Jack to go down in the fifth to Creel. Jack instead TKO'd Creel. |

| 937 | * {{Expy}}: Shares some characteristics with Scott Lang, Jessica's love interest other than Luke in the comics. Both are divorced dads with criminal pasts, but since [[Film/AntMan1 Scott's attentions are elsewhere]] in the MCU, Oscar was created in his place. |

| 971 | Jessica's upstairs neighbor in Season 1, and the twin sister of Ruben. |
| 972 | ---- |
| 973 | * BigSisterInstinct: Robyn is very protective of Ruben, stating that she only guards him so fiercely because he is incapable of taking care of himself. Of course, her protectiveness also has quite a bit of IncestSubtext to it. |
| 974 | * CanonForeigner: Neither of the twins seem to be based on anybody from the comics. |
| 975 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's prone to bizarre non-sequiturs that she seems to think are common sayings. |
| 976 | * DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Averted; Robyn's emotional, financial, and verbal abuse towards Ruben are treated as ''very'' wrong and she's called out on them, with Jessica physically threatening her to shut up (though, mostly because she's finding the noise annoying), while Ruben is viewed with sympathy. She's still treated sympathetically when [[spoiler:he dies]] and she's left struggling to deal without him in her life. |
| 977 | * FieryRedhead: A HotBlooded and ill-tempered woman with red hair. |
| 978 | * HappilyFailedSuicide: [[spoiler:Well, given how bitter Robyn is, not that "happy", but surviving a forced self-hanging does make her value her own life.]] |
| 979 | * HumansAreBastards: As she tells Malcolm in "AKA I've Got the Blues," Robyn's life philosophy boils down to "humankind is made of selfish assholes." |
| 980 | * IncestSubtext: With her brother; on top of their rather odd behavior, they act a lot like a couple, which causes many a raised eyebrow when they mention they are twins. |
| 981 | * {{Jerkass}}: Robyn is a rude, self-centered and judgmental misanthrope to anyone within earshot, and even when she's otherwise sympathetic she's still horrible to everyone around her. [[spoiler:This backfires when she starts rallying Kilgrave's victims against Jessica. She ultimately reveals to Malcolm that she resents herself for being the way she is and believes that Ruben would be disappointed in her.]] |
| 982 | * JerkassHasAPoint: For all her egocentrism, [[spoiler:hearing how her missing brother is casually revealed to be dead and his body dumped by Malcolm during the Kilgrave victim support meeting gives her reason to demand answers from Jessica.]] Jessica herself acknowledges that Robyn is "a very perceptive asshole." |
| 983 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: Robyn's a ''bit'' too protective of her brother, which Malcolm points out as being ridiculous, given his age. |
| 984 | * TheNicknamer: Robyn constantly nicknames people (mostly in an insulting way). |
| 985 | * RedOniBlueOni: Robyn is the quick-tempered Red to Ruben's more even-tempered Blue. |
| 986 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Once she decides to exact revenge on Jessica, [[spoiler:she releases Kilgrave mistaking him for just another guy Jessica was abusing. This backfires on Robyn's face as Kilgrave makes her nearly hang herself if not for Jessica's intervention. It also leads to Hope's suicide and Kilgrave's father being recaptured.]] |

| 988 | * WomanScorned: Robyn's reaction to Ruben's disappearance. Odd, [[IncestSubtext since this trope usually applies to romantic pairings...]] |

| 1063 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Where as in the comics Melvin started out as a supervillain, here he's an innocent soul who's forced to work for Fisk and gladly helps out Matt when given an alternative. |
| 1064 | * BaldOfEvil: Subverted; initially he seems to be another bad bald guy, but he's really a vulnerable, mentally ill fellow being forced to work for Fisk due to Fisk keeping his girlfriend Betsy Beatty under his thumb. |
| 1065 | * TheBlacksmith: A modern day equivalent; He's incredibly good at making custom armor. [[spoiler:He even ends up creating Matt's billy clubs.]] |
| 1066 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Melvin is far more in control of his faculties in Season 2, certainly because he no longer is being pressured by Fisk or withheld his medication. He also has a better understanding of how dangerous associating himself with Daredevil is and doesn't trust him blindly. |
| 1067 | * DumbMuscle: Melvin is looked down upon for his mental challenges by people other than Fisk and Matt and proves to be a very physical threat when he attacks Matt for breaking into his workshop, being strong enough to throw him around like a ragdoll. He also demonstrates decent aim and a killer throwing arm when he hurls a buzz-saw with deadly force at Matt's head. |
| 1068 | * DumbassNoMore: Since he no longer has the burden of Wilson Fisk's threats on him, Melvin is not as fragile mentally in Season 2, compared to Season 1 where he started sobbing when Daredevil defeated him. He even guessed right that the Punisher did not try to kill Matt on purpose and can even snark at him. |

| 1072 | -->'''Matt Murdock:''' So you do work for Fisk.\ |
| 1073 | '''Melvin Potter:''' I said no, when he asked. Said no, Betsy wouldn't like it. She wants me to be good. I gotta be good. So I, I make things. I'm good at making things. |
| 1074 | ** In Season 3 he's once again coerced by Fisk, via Felix Manning, to make a Daredevil suit for Dex and to set up a trap for Matt. |
| 1075 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Is wearing the Gladiator suit underneath his shirt in "Penny and Dime" and offers to show Matt the whole thing. Matt respectfully declines. Also keeps posters of Roman gladiators on his wall. |
| 1076 | * IdiotSavant: He's a genius in his field, but otherwise has a rather child-like mind. |

| 1078 | '''Fisk:''' It's the other half that counts. |
| 1079 | * TheMentallyIll: Apparently, he "gets confused" when off his medication. |
| 1080 | * MythologyGag: He throws a buzzsaw blade at Matt, which was part of his weaponry in his comic Gladiator supervillain identity. He also has a tendency to go for one when agitated. |
| 1081 | * SarcasmBlind: He nervously tries to answer Owlsley and Elektra's rhetorical questions. |
| 1082 | * SuperCostumeClothier: He is a talented tailor who was being forced by Fisk to make special cloth-like body armor for him. When Daredevil discovers this, he promises to protect Melvin from Fisk. In exchange, Melvin makes Daredevil's iconic red suit and billy club for him. |
| 1083 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His fate after being arrested in Season 3 is left unclear. With the show's cancellation it is unlikely it will ever be answered, but the fact that [[spoiler: [[Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw Luke Jacobson]] designed the new Daredevil suit with seemingly no involvement from Melvin]], it's likely that nothing good happened. |
| 1084 | * WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: Where do Wilson Fisk and Matt get their armored clothes and costume from? Melvin. |

| 1133 | Trish Walker's abusive mother and talent agent who became Jessica's foster mother when she was young. |
| 1134 | ---- |
| 1135 | * AbusiveParents: Not exactly the most loving mother somebody could have. She forced Trish into bulimia just because she was ''apparently'' getting fat, and that's just once incident shown. |
| 1136 | * AlasPoorVillain: She was highly abusive towards Trish and Jessica throughout her life, but she [[spoiler:didn't deserve to be horrifically murdered by Salinger.]] |
| 1137 | * TheAtoner: The first season ends with Dorothy giving Trish Jessica's medical files, showing that her bill was paid by the mysterious IGH; the only thing she wants in exchange is to have a relationship with her daughter. The second season makes Dorothy a ''tiny'' bit more sympathetic a character than the first. |
| 1138 | * CompositeCharacter: With the comics version of Alisa Jones, who becomes Jessica's adoptive mother following the accident that killed her biological parents. |
| 1139 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She regularly insists that Jessica is harming Trish's life or otherwise damaging her, when she's actively a toxic influence. It's also revealed that she pimped an underage Trish out to perverted directors and producers to secure roles, but as an adult, she slut-shames her daughter for going to one of them for a lead on her story. |
| 1140 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Forced Trish to become a child star just to earn herself fame and money. She adopted Jessica not out of charity but because Trish had passed out in a club and she needed some good publicity. |
| 1141 | * JerkassHasAPoint: When she reminds Trish of the one-room apartment they used to share. Perhaps she forced Trish into show business so they would never again live in poverty. |
| 1142 | ** Though everything else she does is a massive KickTheDog moment, she ''is'' still the first person to recognize that Trish is spiraling back into drug abuse and calls her on it. |
| 1143 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Surprisingly, yes. Given her StageMom persona, she ''did'' care about her daughter somewhere within her. [[spoiler:People at her funeral even go as far as telling stories of her, saying all the good she did even if a lot of it was from her shrewed Hollywood business point of view.]] |
| 1144 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[spoiler:When Trish is hospitalized following Karl Malus' operation on her, she doesn't blame Jessica for what happened, but when Alisa tries to kill Trish, and in the process kills Detective Costa's partner, Dorothy goes right back to treating Jessica like shit.]] |
| 1145 | * KickTheDog: As if her abuse of Trish wasn't bad enough, when a young Jessica intervenes once on Trish's behalf, Dorothy tells her to butt out because it's a family thing and Jess doesn't have one. |
| 1146 | * MissingMom: When Jessica meets with her in "Top Shelf Perverts", she claims Trish hadn't reached out to her in three years. |
| 1147 | * NeverMyFault: The only times she does accepts blame are when she thinks it will benefit her, such as admitting to a drinking problem or being a terrible mother to guilt trip her daughters. It quickly falls apart when people call her on it. |
| 1148 | * ParentalSubstitute: Took Jessica in, after her family died. However, that's ''all'' she did for her; the two having nothing but contempt for one-another. |
| 1149 | * PunchedAcrossTheRoom: When she tries to force Trish to vomit one too many times, Jessica throws her out of the bathroom and into the hallway wall. |
| 1150 | * StageMom: Entirely responsible for Trish's childhood career, as well as all the bruises, bulimia and drug problems. There's an implication that her talent agency also sees a lot of these. |
| 1151 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She basically kicked off the entire plot of the second season by giving Trish her copy of Jessica's medical files. |

| 1178 | -->''"I've always been more curious than cautious, and that's served me pretty well."'' |
| 1179 | |
| 1180 | A scientist who helps Bruce under the moniker "Mr. Blue". Bruce communicates with him wirelessly while in Brazil in hopes of developing a cure for his condition, but necessary ingredients for the formula require him to return to the United States. There, he discovers that Sterns has more than just curing the Hulk on his mind. |
| 1181 | ---- |
| 1182 | * AbortedArc: A tie-in comic establishes he was taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D. shortly after the events of ''The Incredible Hulk'', but any influence he may have on future Marvel projects was dubious since he otherwise hasn't been mentioned. This made it unlikely he would become The Leader any time soon... until it was revealed in 2022 that he was set to return under his supervillain name for the fourth Captain America movie. |
| 1183 | * AdmiringTheAbomination: Well, not the actual Abomination, who he's pretty horrified by, but Sterns is in complete awe of Banner as the Hulk, calling it "god-like" and "Olympian", and comparing Bruce to Prometheus giving man fire. |
| 1184 | * AdaptationalComicRelief: He's an odd scientist with an eccentric and careless personality, but mostly harmless with some funny moments, unlike the comics where The Leader was a more serious and threatening villain. |
| 1185 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Samuel Sterns is an eccentric and careless, but mostly harmless scientist in this movie who tries to cure Banner, while in the comics, he is one of the more diabolical villains in that universe. The comic tie-in shows he eventually turned evil, so it's more like his origin story than a true morality shift. |
| 1186 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: Instead of working at a nuclear facility as a mentally handicapped janitor, he's already a science genius and university professor. |
| 1187 | * AlliterativeName: First and last names starts with S. |
| 1188 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He's an odd scientist to be sure. |
| 1189 | * TheBusCameBack: After his fate was left hanging back in ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk|2008}}'', Sterns is set to return as The Leader in ''Captain America: New World Order''. |
| 1190 | * CassandraTruth: When Blonsky demands to have the Hulk's blood and gamma radiation applied to him, Sterns argues against it, claiming that the gamma-blood combined with Blonsky's experimental super-serum body might turn him into "an abomination". Blonsky doesn't care, and holds Sterns at gunpoint to transform him anyway. |
| 1191 | * CodeName: Mr. Blue. |
| 1192 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He is never called by his supervillain name, and is only known by his normal name. But this is justified, since Sterns has not yet become a supervillain. The only alias he uses is Mr. Blue, as he contacts Bruce Banner. Sterns will finally be called The Leader in the fourth Captain America movie. |
| 1193 | * ForScience: Downplayed. While he is fascinated by Hulk blood he is ''thrilled'' by its [[JustThinkOfThePotential practical applications]]. |
| 1194 | * {{Keet}}: ''Very'' hyperactive, especially when it comes to science. In the novelization, Bruce describes him as "like a hummingbird on crack" when he ''really'' gets going. |
| 1195 | * LongBusTrip: Returns to the MCU in 2024's ''Captain America: New World Order'' after not being seen since 2008's ''The Incredible Hulk'', a gap of ''16 years''. |
| 1196 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He wants to cure Banner and find similar cures for diseases, but wants to use gamma-irradiated blood to do so, which always has unfortunate consequences. |
| 1197 | * MotorMouth: He can get carried away discussing the merits of Hulk blood; the result is a fast-flowing stream of science. |
| 1198 | * MyBrainIsBig: Caused by Banner's irradiated blood coming in contact with a head wound caused by Abomination. |
| 1199 | * NiceGuy: Other than Bruce, he knows how dangerous Hulk blood is better than anyone but instead of treating Bruce like a menace he's 'hail fellow scientist! Well met! |
| 1200 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: The Leader's return in the MCU has him set to antagonize Captain America, a character The Leader has never encountered in the comics. Bonus points in that he's fighting Sam Wilson, rather than Steve Rogers. |
| 1201 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: According to Bruce in the novel. |
| 1202 | * OneSteveLimit: Samuel shares his last name, Sterns, with [[Film/IronMan2 a senator who's]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier part of HYDRA]]. It's unlikely the two are connected outside of that though. |
| 1203 | * WeCanRuleTogether: To Black Widow when she finds him in ''Fury's Big Week''. She responds by shooting him in the knee and taking him into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. |
| 1204 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His fate after being taken into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s custody - particularly in the wake of the HYDRA uprising - hasn't been mentioned. However, it was confirmed in 2022 that Tim Blake Nelson would return as The Leader in ''Captain America: New World Order''. |

| 1214 | Jessica's first boyfriend, a bartender at a nightclub who wants to open up his own club. |
| 1215 | ---- |
| 1216 | * AccidentalMurder: Alisa doesn't plan on outright killing him, only roughing him up. Too bad she has SuperStrength... |
| 1217 | * AmbiguousSituation: He was clearly a toxic influence on Jessica, but it's not clear if he genuinely loved her and was just a screw up, or if he was intentionally just using her so he could live easily without working. |
| 1218 | * TheCorrupter: He meets Jess when she is a struggling college student when she is tearfully being rejected by Trish. A month later she is paying for both of them through stealing and has dropped out of college. |
| 1219 | * KnowNothingKnowItAll: Has the feel of this regarding running a club. He claims to know the 'art' of running a club (something he thinks his former boss didn't), but his actual approach appears pretty incompetent ([[JerkAssHasAPoint as his former boss points out]], he's not so much 'building loyal customers' as he is just trying to get laid). Despite this, he tells said boss ''to his face'' about how he's going to open his own club, despite having no actual understanding of the business. |
| 1220 | * ManipulativeBastard: Zigzagged and potentially averted. Even though he's nice to Jessica, it is implied he was also manipulating her into stealing stuff for them both, and he later pimps her out to Wyatt as a bodyguard not just to save his own ass, but also demands a cut of whatever Wyatt gets. Then again, he may have simply pretended to go along with it 'to save his ass.' |
| 1221 | * PosthumousCharacter: He died long before the events of the first season. |
| 1222 | * SecretlySelfish: He appears to be a charming NiceGuy who paints himself as chasing a dream of running a bar, but underneath he's using his charms to get Jessica to steal anything they need so he doesn't have to get an actual job, borrows money from gangsters he's unable to pay off (and later agrees to pimp Jessica out to them as muscle), and apparently puts very little effort into opening up his club. He also encourages Jess to reconnect with her sister solely so he can network and get Trish to invest in him. Of course, Jess had no problems with breaking ATMS, stealing dresses and other things, so it wasn't like she didn't know. Suffice to say, it was always a messed up relationship. Even after Jessica found out about the circumstances of Stirling's death, she hated Alisa for doing it all the same. |
| 1223 | ** Mostly made worse by the ambiguity caused by his death, we never get to see if he only said those things because he was surrounded by the gangsters and get away. Regardless, Jessica is still righteously angered because it was her life and problem to fix and he didn't deserve to die for them both being young idiots who hadn't figured life out. |
| 1224 | * StartMyOwn: He wants to open his own place, Club Alias, but he's had to borrow money from some gangsters to finance his investment. |

| 1296 | * BullyingADragon: She can't really target the Avengers, so she chooses someone who she ''thinks'' will be an easier target. She's very wrong. Jessica is much more morally grey than the Avengers. |
| 1297 | * HateSink: She thinks lowly of people with powers and pulls Jessica away from her hunt for Kilgrave for a petty and misplaced grudge. In addition to her FantasticRacism towards superhumans, she's also proudly ableist, suggesting her attitude towards superhumans is at least partially a product of her generally being bigoted. Her only tragic quality, her mother's death, is nullified by how she's fine with getting her husband endangered. |
| 1298 | * InsaneTrollLogic: She wants to kill Jessica as a preventative measure against gifted/powered people, as the "incident" caused her mother's death under the rubble of a destroyed building. Apparently, calling it the "incident" lets her conveniently ignore the fact there was an ''alien invasion'' happening at the time, and that the Chitauri were targeting everyone in sight until the Avengers arrived to draw their attention from slaughtering everyone. Plus, if the usage of a nuclear missile to close the portal the Chitauri came through was made public knowledge, then there is the likely probability that the WSC/S.H.I.E.L.D. could have used the missile to level the city, Avengers or no Avengers. |
| 1299 | * {{Irony}}: She hires Jessica to find out if her husband is sleeping with another woman, thinking he might ask for a divorce. When Jessica proves to her why it was a really, really bad idea to do all of that, her husband asks for a divorce. |
| 1300 | * MisplacedRetribution: She blames "gifted" individuals for the death of her mother rather then, you know, the aliens that invaded the Earth. Especially considering that Loki was the one who initiated the invasion |
| 1301 | * MugglePower: She has an attitude about superhumans is driven by hatred and fear. |
| 1302 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: She cements her position as an unlikable person by comparing the word "gifted" to "special", and talking about it being a euphemism for "retarded". |

| 1313 | The owner of the Griffith Hotel, a boarding house for women in which Peggy Carter lives. |
| 1314 | ---- |
| 1315 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: At first she seems like a strict but fair landlady, then we realize she's anything but. |
| 1316 | * ControlFreak: Has a strict curfew for her residents and insists that no gentlemen callers are allowed above the first floor. |
| 1317 | * CrankyLandlord: Strictly controls the schedules of the girls in her boarding house and forbids men higher than the first floor. |
| 1318 | * FemaleMisogynist: She treats her tenants (all grown women with jobs) like particularly dim children, because she doesn't believe they're capable of knowing what's best for them. She also seems to believe that once a lady ''has'' compromised her virtue, she's unworthy of basic respect. |
| 1319 | * GrandeDame: Not an aristocrat, but she's very concerned with respectability and a bit of a snob as well, and she has the overbearing attitude. |
| 1320 | * HiddenDepths: She tries to bring up UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud to rationalize her oppressive rules. |
| 1321 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Despite knowing who Sigmund Freud is, she claims its "unbecoming" of a lady to know about him. |
| 1322 | * {{Jerkass}}: At breakfast she publicly humiliates a tenant who had a gentleman caller in her room and evicts her on the spot, to serve as an example to the others. |
| 1323 | * JerkassHasAPoint: She forbids men above the first floor of the Griffith because she believes women cannot control their sexual urges until they are married or reach a certain age. She's pretty nasty about this, but when Peggy sneaks Howard into the building, he quickly becomes ''acquainted'' with many of the residents, and he implies that this is not his first time at the Griffith Hotel. She was also unintentionally accurate in keeping Mr. Mink from seeing Peggy, not that it stopped him from breaking in. |
| 1324 | * MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: She treats the tenants like they were school girls in a dormitory rather than adults living on their own. |
| 1325 | * SatelliteCharacter: Is only relevant to the story as Peggy's landlady. Once Peggy moves out, she ceases to be important and stops appearing. |
| 1326 | * SingleIssueLandlord: Basically one rule and that rule is "no men above the first floor ever". |
| 1327 | * SkewedPriorities: She's more affected by Peggy making a hole on her wall than about having a tenant who [[spoiler:is being pursued by federal agents]]. |
| 1328 | * SlutShaming: Public evictions for... ''daring'' to have a man in your room. |
| 1329 | * SourPrude: She believes that AllWomenAreLustful so they are incapable of controlling their urges until they're married or reach a certain age. Hence why they need someone like her to keep them in line. |
| 1330 | * SpearCounterpart: As much a FemaleMisogynist as she is, she's also living proof that misogyny isn't the only brand of sexism to be featured in the series. |

| 1341 | An aspiring actress who works as a waitress at an automat Peggy Carter frequents, who invites her to stay at the Griffith Hotel. |
| 1342 | ---- |
| 1343 | * TheBroCode: Gender-flipped. Her previous best friend abruptly left her after getting married, so Angie is distrustful of friends who appear to be dating. At times she raises suspicion about Jarvis, but Peggy reassures her that they're just business partners. |
| 1344 | * DeadpanSnarker: She always has a sarcastic remark ready. |
| 1345 | -->'''Dottie:''' ''[about the boarding house]'' This place is pretty swell, huh? Seems like one big happy family.\ |
| 1346 | '''Angie:''' That wears off. |
| 1347 | * DemotedToExtra: Her role had to be significantly reduced in Season 2 as Fonseca got a role on another show. |
| 1348 | * DramaQueen: Peggy calls her this when she says she's "too consumed by ennui" to go to work. |
| 1349 | * FakeGuestStar: Lyndsy Fonseca regularly appeared through the first season and yet she was not included in the "regular cast" line-up. |
| 1350 | * LargeHam: She '''''is''''' an actress after all. Her acting comes into play when she helps Peggy in evading the SSR. |
| 1351 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: She had no idea about Peggy's double life until "A Sin To Err", although she claims that she suspected something was off. |
| 1352 | -->'''Angie:''' I knew you didn't work for the phone company! |
| 1353 | * MuggleBestFriend: She quickly becomes Peggy's closest friend but she has no idea about the world of espionage she's involved in. After what happened to Colleen, though, Peggy is reluctant to let her any closer. |
| 1354 | * NiceGirl: Very friendly, cheerful and helpful to Peggy. |
| 1355 | * TheNicknamer: She calls Peggy "English," refers to Jarvis as "Mr. Fancy", and calls Dottie "Iowa". |
| 1356 | * TheNotLoveInterest: Fulfills several of the roles typical of love interests in action, spy, and superhero films. She gets annoyed when the hero's double-life keeps them from spending time together, provides Peggy with emotional support after Ray is killed, and helps Peggy escape from the SSR agents hunting her without ever questioning her innocence. |
| 1357 | * PutOnABus: Inverted; the rest of the cast of ''Agent Carter'' (and the show itself) hopped a bus to LA, leaving Angie behind. It's a little jarring considering that Angie could have also been relocated to LA, due to being an aspiring actress. |
| 1358 | * SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: In-universe. We first see Angie practicing for an audition, but her line reading is fairly stiff. All her previous auditions went badly too, and Angie seriously considers quitting acting and going into secretary school. When she needs to distract the SSR, though, Angie wills herself to turn on the waterworks and burst into tears over a fake anecdote about her grandma, making the agents too uncomfortable to keep questioning her. Peggy overhears it, and encourages her to keep trying out for theater after that. |
| 1359 | * WaitingForABreak: She works as a waitress in a restaurant while waiting for her big break in show business. |

| 1374 | * DiesWideOpen: Peggy finds her corpse with a shocked look in her face. |
| 1375 | * KillTheCutie: Colleen was one of the nicest people Peggy knew, and still optimistic despite their hardships. Because of her death Peggy is reluctant to let other friends of hers be put in danger. |
| 1376 | * MuggleBestFriend: Deconstructed. Colleen had no idea Peggy was an SSR agent, believing she worked at the phone company. This lack of knowledge about her friend's dangerous job led to her death. |
| 1377 | * NiceGirl: Colleen was friendly and compassionate to Peggy, and often suggested friend dates they could go on after work. |
| 1378 | * OneShotCharacter: Due to dying in the same episode she is introduced in. |
| 1379 | * SacrificialLamb: Colleen dies early to emphasize the danger of Leviathan, whose agent was ruthless enough to follow Peggy home and murder her sleeping friend. |
| 1380 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: She is killed in the very episode she first appears, after having two scenes. Even Peggy admitted she had only known her for a few months. |
| 1381 | * WrenchWench: Worked as a riveter during the war but was replaced by a man. By then she was much more experienced and had to teach him how to use it. |
| 1382 | * YouNeedToGetLaid: Downplayed. Colleen wanted to see Peggy get married, and viewed staying independent as the road to spinsterdom. |

| 1396 | * BreakTheCutie: She was once a devoted and (apparently) loving wife, and then she found out her partner was cheating on her with a much younger and prettier woman, flat out didn't love her anymore, and sent a superpowered "thug" to serve her the divorce papers. [[spoiler:And then her ex-wife literally brings Kilgrave to her door.]] |

| 1462 | |
| 1463 | A controversial internet personality who hosts a news podcast on [=TheDailyBugle.net=], where he rants and raves against anything he believes to be a threat to society. His latest target: that wall-crawling menace [[HeroWithBadPublicity Spider-Man]]. |
| 1464 | ---- |
| 1465 | * AdaptationalDumbass: Most versions of J. Jonah Jameson are the respected head of a long-running newspaper, with the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Sam Raimi version]] in particular boasting that he hadn't needed to print a retraction in 20 years (before [[ImmoralJournalist Eddie Brock]] happened). This Jameson is a sensationalist conspiracy theorist who is considered extremely controversial and is in no way a respected source of news. |
| 1466 | * AdaptationalHairstyleChange: Jameson had a full head of hair in the comics; in contrast, this version is going bald. |
| 1467 | * AdaptationalJerkass: |
| 1468 | ** In most continuities, Jameson is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who, if pressed, will grudgingly admit that Spider-Man ''is'' a hero, he just dislikes his methods, and he's also very close with Peter (though he'd never admit it) to the point of being willing to risk his life to protect him. In the MCU, Jameson unmasks Spider-Man to the world without hesitation and labels him a public enemy, ruining the life of a teenager that helped ''save the universe''. He's even worse in ''No Way Home'', where he's constantly trying to get video evidence to "prove" Spider-Man is a menace, and blames him for a villain attack [[spoiler:where Aunt May died]]. The latter is especially egregious, since in the comics Jameson will usually not stoop to using [[spoiler:someone's death]] to inflame tensions or sell papers, but in ''No Way Home'' he not only does exactly that but is doing so knowing that [[spoiler:he's directly and knowingly blaming Peter for his aunt's murder.]] |
| 1469 | ** Jameson usually has a fairly strong code of journalistic ethics; he may put his own spin on the truth or allow his personal opinions to distort it, but he won't outright lie to sell papers. In the comics he'll often defame Spider-Man but print retractions if proven wrong, and his previous portrayal in the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' had him fire Eddie Brock because he doctored a photo of Spider-Man, and he was very unhappy the Daily Bugle had to print its first retraction in decades. In these movies, Jonah shows no such morals and is more interested in convincing people that Spider-Man is evil no matter what he has to say to do it. |
| 1470 | * AdaptationalJobChange: He's an internet personality rather than an editor-in-chief of a newspaper company. |
| 1471 | * AdaptationDyeJob: His iconic salt-and-pepper hair from the comics was recreated to perfection in Simmons' previous turn as the character; though this version has lost most of his hair, it's clearly brown. |
| 1472 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Peter's most famous job is as a photographer working for J.J. at ''The Daily Bugle''. This doesn't happen in the MCU, because J.J. is given Spider-Man's SecretIdentity and ''outs'' him to the world before ever meeting, knowing, and employing Peter Parker in any capacity. In the comics, Jameson got to know Peter as an employer and a one-sided surrogate son-nephew, even becoming an ally of Spider-Man in ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan''. In Creator/ChipZdarsky's run on ''Spectacular Spider-Man'', he actually became Peter's friend and confidant. |
| 1473 | * AgeLift: While most versions of the character are middle aged, this JJJ is a balding man in his sixties due to being reprised by J.K. Simmons after twelve real-world years. |
| 1474 | * AlternateSelf: On [[Characters/SSUCivilians Earth-688B]]. |
| 1475 | * AscendedExtra: He has a much larger presence in ''No Way Home'', acting as a minor recurring antagonist who continues to drag Spider-Man's reputation through the dirt. At one point, he even leaves the studio to hunt down the Spider out in the field. |
| 1476 | * BaldOfEvil: "Evil" is stretching it, but his [[AdaptationalJerkass transformation]] from the obnoxious but lovable blowhard of the comics and Simmons' previous version, to an inflammatory and unethical conspiracy nut, also sees the character's iconic salt-and-pepper flat-top replaced with a bald pate. [[Film/SpiderMan1 Looks like he couldn't trust his barber after all.]] |
| 1477 | * TheCameo: He makes a brief appearance in the mid-credits scene of ''Far From Home''. |
| 1478 | * CompositeCharacter: He has the [[Creator/JKSimmons actor]] and [[LargeHam mannerisms]] of the Jameson from the Creator/SamRaimi [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy trilogy]], his job is changed to being the host of an internet news media outlet like in ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'', and he outs Peter as Spider-Man while framing him as a murderer like in the non-canon story "What If Gwen Stacy Had Lived?" from ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' Vol. 1 #24. |
| 1479 | * ConspiracyTheorist: This version of the ''Daily Bugle'' appears to be a less than reputable media source. |
| 1480 | * DarkerAndEdgier: This version of Jameson isn't really a comedic jerk like his previous incarnations, but more in line with present day extreme news hosts who verbally bludgeon their target without mercy and are more interested in their personal beliefs and biases than factual accuracy. Though of course, J.K. Simmons going full ham with him is as entertaining as always to see. |
| 1481 | * DiabolusExMachina: Peter's just enjoying being back from a hectic vacation, and then suddenly Jameson shows up out of nowhere, painting him as a murderer and revealing his secret identity to the world. |
| 1482 | * DramaticIrony: He calls Mysterio "the greatest superhero of all time" during his big tirade against Spider-Man. He didn't get the memo. Or maybe he did, but discrediting Spider-Man just meant a lot more to him. |
| 1483 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: ''No Way Home'' establishes that he goes from being a relatively minor figure on the internet who films a show in front of a greenscreen in his basement to a rising media mogul who runs a massive news operation that can afford to hire multiple reporters and film crews on top of having them outfitted with news vans and helicopters -- all funded through the money he's made by exposing Spider-Man's secret identity and then covering him in a negative light. |
| 1484 | * HateSink: Unlike most versions of J.J., this version doesn't have any understandable reason to hate Spider-Man in the first place, most of his sympathetic traits are non-existent and his hatred for Spider-Man is not PlayedForLaughs. Even knowing that Spider-Man is actually a teenager doesn't stop Jameson from hating him even more, and he puts all his resources into ensuring Peter's life and those closest to him are ruined. Yet Peter [[UnknownRival still doesn't seem to view him as much of a threat compared to Mysterio or the other villains]]. |
| 1485 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Trusting Mysterio over Spider-Man? Really, Jonah? Of course, this ''is'' Jameson we're talking about here, that's been a consistent thing with him since Day One. |
| 1486 | * InspectorJavert: He firmly believes Spider-Man to be a menace, and thanks to the ManipulativeEditing on Mysterio's video, he appears to be correct. |
| 1487 | * InSpiteOfANail: While ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' confirms that Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films takes place in an AlternateUniverse, J. Jonah Jameson still [[Creator/JKSimmons looks]] and [[LargeHam acts]] the same way as his AlternateSelf in that trilogy. This is noticeable as the three versions of Spider-Man in ''No Way Home'' don't have the same appearance and by extension, all Spider-Man related characters that have appeared in multiple [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy iterations]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries of the]] [[Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse franchise]] don't share the same appearance. |
| 1488 | * {{Irony}}: His Daily Bugle platform is deemed controversial by mainstream news here, yet every other universe that came into contact with the MCU always has the Daily Bugle (at least when it exists) as [[AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome a highly respected news authority]]. |
| 1489 | * {{Jerkass}}: Him taking no issue with potentially ruining the life of an Avenger who helped save the universe from Thanos speaks volumes about the kind of person that he is. |
| 1490 | * JerkassHasAPoint: The MCU Spider-Man in both ''Homecoming'' and ''Far From Home'' makes a lot of blunders and mistakes and in the first movie, at least was responsible for defacing a national monument and nearly sinking a ferry boat with passengers on it. So it's not too much of a stretch for those on the outside to see Spider-Man as a threat or menace. |
| 1491 | * KarmaHoudini: Neither he nor the Daily Bugle face no major retribution or comeuppance of any kind despite his actions damaging Peter, [[PlotIrrelevantVillain especially due to his reduced focus later on]]. |
| 1492 | * KickTheDog: Outing a '''minor''' – who served as one of the key Avengers that saved the entire universe less than a year ago – as a seeming supervillain and putting him in danger is a real dick move. |
| 1493 | * KnightOfCerebus: Surprisingly enough, Jameson does more harm to Spider-Man than most of the other villains in the entire ''Spider-Man'' film franchise by outing his identity as Peter Parker. While he's still in ''high school'', nonetheless. Granted, it was still Mysterio that provided him with the information, but he obviously knew how useful it was for a news story against the wall-crawler. |
| 1494 | * LackOfEmpathy: He's willing to use any information as ammunition for his campaign against Spider-Man, not caring one bit how it could affect others in the crossfire as long as it can hurt Peter. [[spoiler:Although he seems concerned for the destruction left after the villains' attack at the condo, he still shamelessly uses the tragedy – where a person (Peter's Aunt May) ''died'', by the way – to further spin his anti-Spidey agenda]]. |
| 1495 | * LargeHam: J.K. Simmons clearly hasn't lost his touch. Even with only under a minute of screentime in ''Far From Home'', he chewed the scenery to bits. |
| 1496 | * ObliviousToTheirOwnDescription: Jameson considers Spider-Man's supporters to be gullible fools easily misled by an obvious murderer. In other words, exactly what Jameson himself is for buying into Mysterio's version of events. |
| 1497 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He's considerably more subdued and somber after the condo disaster and seems genuinely shaken by the event. |
| 1498 | * OpportunisticBastard: Seems to have an agent tailing Peter and his loved ones so that he can have fresh anti-Spider-Man material to report on. |
| 1499 | * PlotIrrelevantVillain: While Jameson's demonization of Spider-Man/Peter Parker is despicable and greatly affects him in ''No Way Home'''s first act, he mostly ends up taking a backseat once the multiversal shenanigans start up, with him being a minor annoyance at most as he tries to find more ways to badger Spider-Man publicly. |
| 1500 | * ReimaginingTheArtifact: |
| 1501 | ** Like in ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'', he's changed from the editor of a respected newspaper to an influential internet pundit.[[note]]Although in the [=PS4=] video game, the ''Daily Bugle'' is a separate entity from Jameson's podcast ''Just the Facts'' and Jameson was Chief Editor of the ''Daily Bugle'' as in the comics, although he's since retired by the game's timeframe.[[/note]] |
| 1502 | ** Also, ''The Daily Bugle'' itself is considered a controversial news source based on sensationalist media outlets across the internet, as opposed to being a newspaper company that everyone trusts. Consider the term "controversial", as people today are ''far'' less likely to blindly trust news sources as they were when ''The Daily Bugle'' was most relevant in the comics. |
| 1503 | * SigningOffCatchphrase: "Good night, and God help us all." |
| 1504 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: In ''Far From Home'', he only appears in the mid-credits, yet he's instrumental to setting the stage for the post-''Infinity Saga'' movies by outing Peter to everyone as Spider-Man and branding him from AHeroToHisHometown to a HeroWithBadPublicity. ''No Way Home'' continues this trope, as his influence in demonizing Peter causes the webslinger to turn to Doctor Strange for some mystical help, only to cause a multiversal crisis instead. |
| 1505 | * SnakeOilSalesman: Just like [=InfoWars=], his show contains ad breaks in which he shills questionable nutritional supplements. |
| 1506 | * TruerToTheText: Unlike his previous portrayal in the Sam Raimi trilogy, largely based on [[CharacterizationMarchesOn later interpretations]] that showed there was a more caring side to the character, this version is a more accurate adaption of Jameson's original portrayal as a greedy and selfish person willing to tell all sorts of lies and not caring about his employees as shown in the tie-in material for ''No Way Home'' with Betty Brant. |
| 1507 | * UngratefulBastard: Labeling one of the key Avengers -- who just ensured that the entire universe wasn't destroyed -- as a public menace without even trying to get his side of the story ''reeks'' of this. Not surprising, though; after all, this is JJJ we're talking about here. |
| 1508 | * UnknownRival: Peter Parker doesn't know or work for Jameson in this setting. As far as JJJ and the rest of the world knows, Spider-Man is a SmallStepsHero sensation on the internet mainly known in Queens who occasionally works with the Avengers. Yet once this influential online personality comes across incriminating information about the web-slinger (including his true ''age''), he decides to come out of nowhere and overturn his life. Despite this, in ''No Way Home'', where Jameson spends every moment he's onscreen demonising him, Peter doesn't seem to pay him much particular attention, placing the blame on Mysterio rather than Jameson. [[spoiler:Even when calling into the ''Bugle'' as part of his plan to solve the current crisis, Peter doesn't respond to Jameson's taunts and instead addresses the pundit's audience.]] |
| 1509 | * UnwittingPawn: Presuming that Mysterio isn't dead ([[MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning and even if he is]]), Jonah totally played right into his hands. |
| 1510 | * VocalEvolution: Downplayed. While this Jonah sounds exactly the same as his variant did back in the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Raimi-verse]], Creator/JKSimmons speaks noticeably slower and more concise than he did back in the early 2000s. |
| 1511 | * WalkingSpoiler: His last-minute cameo in ''Far From Home'' comes out of absolutely nowhere, and what he ends up doing in the movie completely flips the script on Peter's life ahead of ''No Way Home''. |
| 1512 | * WeWillNotUsePhotoshopInTheFuture: It either doesn't occur to him that the footage of Spider-Man ordering the London attack could have been faked, or he doesn't care whether or not it's real because it serves the narrative he's interested in presenting. |
| 1513 | * WouldHurtAChild: While it doesn't harm Peter in a physical sense, Jameson has no qualms publicly selling out the teenager's identity. It shouldn't be a leap of logic to Jameson that this means criminals Spidey has busted may come after him. Not only that, but the footage also implicates him in a murder, possibly putting vigilantes – which sensationalist news programs like his tend to inspire – on Peter's trail, too. |

| 1530 | ---- |
| 1531 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: At first, she seems like a simple loving mother, doting on Kate and worrying about her getting hurt. [[spoiler:Late in the series, it's revealed that she's the one who hired Yelena to kill Clint and has had business dealings with the Kingpin for years.]] |
| 1532 | * CastingGag: [[spoiler:This isn't the first time Vera Farmiga plays [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 a loving mother whose relationship with her daughter slowly becomes strained after losing a family member during a world-changing event, along with the fact that she is secretly in league with a notorious criminal following such tragedy]].]] |
| 1533 | * CompositeCharacter: She takes elements of Derek Bishop [[spoiler:in being a corrupt, antagonistic parent connected to Kingpin.]] |
| 1534 | * CondescendingCompassion: [[spoiler:Once Eleanor's villainy is exposed, she treats Kate as little more than a child, justifying her crimes by claiming that they were meant to keep Kate out of poverty, something Eleanor is sure her daughter can't handle and brushing off Kate's condemnations by saying that she's simply too young to understand how the world works.]] |
| 1535 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Discussed. Once she realizes Kate is actively in danger and isn't going to stop, Eleanor immediately attempts to cut ties with Wilson Fisk to prevent anything worse from happening. [[YouHaveFailedMe He doesn't take it well.]]]] |
| 1536 | * EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:It's revealed that she's an associate of the Kingpin and hired Yelena to assassinate Hawkeye.]] |
| 1537 | * {{Expy}}: She is practically the [[Series/{{Arrow}} Moira Queen]] of Marvel: Both are part of a prestigious family (interestingly, their last names are chess pieces) and the single mother of an archer-themed superhero. Their similarities do not stop there as despite loving their family, [[spoiler:they've secretly had business ties to the criminal underworld due to being forced into completing their late husbands' work. They even give the same reason to their children when confronted.]] |
| 1538 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 1539 | ** Eleanor constantly complains about how Kate is putting herself in danger for no reason, and that her actions while attempting to be like her hero Hawkeye will eventually result in her getting hurt. [[spoiler:Yet, she has no qualms with hiring an assassin to try to kill Clint, even as she knows her daughter is working with him to uncover what's going on.]] |
| 1540 | ** [[spoiler:During Eleanor's attempt to justify her actions to Kate, she once again lectures her daughter over being reckless and not understanding her actions have consequences; when the police show up to arrest her for Armand III's murder, Eleanor is stunned that Kate would have her face the consequences of her actions.]] |
| 1541 | ** [[spoiler:From the beginning of the series, Eleanor is concerned about how Kate seems to think she's invincible, and that she needs to face the hardships of the real world. Yet, she continues to work for the Kingpin long after Derek's debt is paid off because she's afraid of her daughter being unable to handle life without any sort of wealth or privilege.]] |
| 1542 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: Deconstructed. For all of her actions, Eleanor claims that she's lived "with nothing" in the past and refuses to go back to it or allow the same thing to happen to Kate. Kate, understandably, doesn't see this as real justification for Eleanor's criminal deeds (especially murder) and is even more stunned with her mother's CondescendingCompassion towards her during her explanation. |
| 1543 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Eleanor is [[spoiler:clearly trying to [[NeverMyFault guilt-trip]] Kate and had no right to justify every amoral action she committed (especially ''murder''), but she is correct that Kate has relied on her family's money all her life and will have to drastically adjust her lifestyle without it.]] |
| 1544 | * KickTheDog: Zigzagged. Eleanor reminds Clint about Natasha's sacrifice when discussing his mentorship of Kate. [[spoiler:It's unknown if it was to use Clint's grief over his best friend's death to make him cut ties with Kate in order to leave him by himself and/or as a vague death threat.]] |
| 1545 | * KnightTemplarParent: [[spoiler:Eleanor's association with Wilson Fisk and her hiring of Yelena to kill Clint was done partly due to Derek's leftover debt, but primarily out of concern for her daughter's safety. When Kate confronts her about this in the season finale, she claims it's because her daughter doesn't know how the real world works, and needs to be protected from it.]] |
| 1546 | * MamaBear: Despite her flaws, Eleanor truly loves Kate and will do anything to protect her, which is proven when she [[spoiler:smashes Wilson Fisk with her car when he tries to kill Kate.]] |
| 1547 | * NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:By the season finale, she refuses to take responsibility for what she's done, insisting her actions were for Kate's sake and the results were merely "an unfortunate arrangement". As the police arrive and place her under arrest, she tries to guilt-trip her own daughter by asking if heroes "arrest their mothers on Christmas".]] |
| 1548 | * ParentsAsPeople: It's clear she loves Kate, but can be very overbearing and underestimates what she's capable of, planning for Kate to take an administrative position in her company without asking if that's what her daughter wants and insisting she knows best. [[spoiler:Even as a mob-adjacent criminal, she still tries to look out for Kate and even attempts to quit when her daughter is put in danger. But she also has blood on her hands and tries to rationalize her actions as just a bad strain of luck that she can shrug off when inconvenient. Kate, on her part, still loves her mother, but also sees that Eleanor needs to pay for what she did and has her arrested.]] |
| 1549 | * ParentWithNewParamour: She lost her husband Derek in the [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Chitauri invasion]], but by the time of ''Hawkeye'', she's become engaged to Jack Duquesne. Kate does not approve, especially since she knows Jack is up to some shady business. [[spoiler:Turns out it's actually the other way around. Jack is just an UpperClassTwit who Eleanor was manipulating into being the FallGuy for her illegal activities.]] |
| 1550 | * PsychologicalProjection: [[spoiler:Eleanor repeatedly insists that she knows what it's like to go without money and Kate couldn't handle it, but it's implied that in reality, it's Eleanor who can't handle the idea of being without her wealth and she's just using Kate as an excuse.]] |
| 1551 | * PutOnAPrisonBus: In the final episode of ''Hawkeye'', [[spoiler:she's arrested for the murder of Armand by the police. It's implied Kate sent them incriminating evidence of Eleanor admitting to her crimes in conversation with Kingpin.]] |
| 1552 | * RagsToRiches: She's made a few comments that hint that she wasn't born into wealth. [[spoiler:And she ends up working for the Kingpin in order to keep it.]] |
| 1553 | * SelfMadeWoman: She built Bishop Security from the ground up after Derek's death. [[spoiler:Her connection to the Kingpin brings up the question if the means she used were completely legal though.]] |
| 1554 | * TemptingFate: Accuses Derek of always expecting a solution to fall out of the sky. Immediately after their argument, the Chitauri come out of the sky and start wreaking havoc, killing Derek in the process. |
| 1555 | * TrappedInVillainy: By the end of ''Hawkeye'', we learn that [[spoiler:her husband was deeply in debt with Wilson Fisk, who forced her to work for him for years as a result]]. |
| 1556 | * WalkingSpoiler: So much of her personality and role in ''Hawkeye'' is hard to talk about due to a late spoiler revealed in Episode 5. |

| 1568 | * AdaptationalHeroism: He's a CorruptCorporateExecutive in the comic, going as far as to approve of a gangland hit on Kate, but Kate on the show claims his life was about helping people. [[spoiler:He's not all good however, since he was in debt with Wilson Fisk at the time of his death, implying that he had mafia ties]]. |
| 1569 | * DeathByAdaptation: In the comics, Derek is still alive; here, he died during the Chitauri invasion, which is what sets Kate on the path to becoming a costumed heroine. |
| 1570 | * DeathByOriginStory: His death during the Chitauri invasion prompts Kate to train extensively in martial arts and archery so she can protect her family. |
| 1571 | * MirrorCharacter: To Bill Fisk, the father of the Kingpin. Both men took a loan out of crime bosses to improve their fortunes whilst having a profound influence on the lives of their children well into their adult years. That is where the similarities end as Bill was a selfish, cowardly excuse of a person who was [[HatedByAll hated by all of Hell's Kitchen]] and was a DomesticAbuser to both his wife and son, which inspired Fisk to "rebuild" Hell's Kitchen. From little we see of Derek, he was a respected figure and a caring, supportive person who loved Eleanor and Kate dearly to the point that his death drove her to become a vigilante. |
| 1572 | * OldMoney: Implied by Eleanor, who accuses Derek of always expecting a solution to fall out of the sky. Confirmed by Kate, who says her great-great-great-great-grandfather built the building their penthouse is in. |
| 1573 | * UptownBoy: He was from a generations-wealthy family, unlike his wife Eleanor. |

| 1588 | * ADogNamedDog: Kate playfully calls him "Pizza Dog" when they first meet. Episode 3 shows that he responds to that title more than any other names she tries to give him. Though by the final episode, Kate has settled on Lucky. |
| 1589 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: For being a one-eyed street dog, Lucky is immaculately groomed when Kate takes him in. |
| 1590 | * BigFriendlyDog: After Kate rescues him, he is nothing but affectionate to the girl, which she happily returns. His personality is enough to even charm Clint. |
| 1591 | * EvilDetectingDog: He bites one of the members of the Tracksuit Mafia on the leg. |
| 1592 | * EyeScream: He's clearly had a rough time living on the streets as his left eye is missing. |
| 1593 | * MeaningfulName: He's named Lucky because his showing up in Kate's life brings the luck of her meeting her hero and getting to be mentored and taken under the wing of him, the less good but still for the better luck of Kate realizing the true nature of her mother, and the luck of Clint meeting someone who ends up improving his happiness and outlook on life. He himself is lucky because if he didn't show up in Kate's life, she wouldn't have been there to save him from traffic. |
| 1594 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Loves pizza which is why Kate names him "Pizza Dog". |
| 1595 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Kate saves him from running out into traffic, and the act gets filmed and put on the news. Then, when Kate takes him back to her apartment, it allows the Tracksuit Mafia to find where she lives. |

| 1610 | A talented fencer from a wealthy family, and Eleanor Bishop's fiancé. |
| 1611 | ---- |
| 1612 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, he's an AntiHero at best, but more often than not is a PsychoForHire. Here, [[spoiler:he's completely innocent of everything he seems to be guilty of, and the worst thing we see him do is cut down several Tracksuit Mafia members in self-defense.]] |
| 1613 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the comics, he adopted and trained Clint Barton. In the MCU, they only meet long into Clint's career as Hawkeye, and even then their relationship is mostly as mutual acquaintances of Kate Bishop. |
| 1614 | * AdaptationalWeaponSwap: His personal weapon is a sabre instead of a longsword. |
| 1615 | * AffablyEvil: Though he presents himself as a kind and understanding man, his interactions with Kate give the impression of him being incredibly smug and condescending in private. The first episode also reveals he partakes in morally shady black market dealings, hinting at a much darker side to him which Kate spends most of the season hoping to uncover. [[spoiler:It's ultimately revealed that he's innocent of the worst crimes Kate accused him of and the NiceGuy act he put on is completely genuine, meaning his earlier interactions with Kate were just a case of him [[InnocentlyInsensitive trying and failing to bond with Kate]].]] |
| 1616 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: He acts pretty shady in the first few episodes of ''Hawkeye'', and Kate suspects him of killing his uncle, but she's hardly unbiased and doesn't have much '''proof''' better than a monogrammed piece of candy and his skill in fencing. [[spoiler:Halfway through the series, he's revealed to be running a front company for the Tracksuit Mafia, tying the two plots together and seemingly cementing his "evil" status properly... but then it's revealed that Eleanor was EvilAllAlong, and Jack was framed.]] |
| 1617 | * BadassNormal: Jack has shown no evidence of superhuman abilities, but he is a very talented fencer. [[spoiler:During the climactic fight at Rockefeller Center he dispatches numerous members of the Tracksuit Mafia with his sword]]. |
| 1618 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He initially seems like a decent guy, but is clearly involved in shady business. [[spoiler:Later subverted as he proves himself to be a decent guy after all, and helps fight the Tracksuit Mafia.]] |
| 1619 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Although he is ''a'' swordsman, he has not yet been called ''the'' Swordsman. |
| 1620 | * CoolSword: Collects them. Also goes out of his way to first bid on then pilfer Ronin's [[RetractableWeapon retractable]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]]. |
| 1621 | * CreepyGood: He's so nice it can be off-putting. |
| 1622 | * DashingHispanic: As a result of being played by a Mexican actor affecting a vaguely Hispanic accent, Jack evokes the Dashing Hispanic archetype with his suaveness, class, and swordsmanship. |
| 1623 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: His uncle Armand doesn't approve of him being engaged to Eleanor. [[spoiler:Turns out he had a point, given Eleanor threw him to the wolves when the heat fell on her.]] |
| 1624 | * FallGuy: [[spoiler:It turns out that Eleanor had framed him for the murder of Armand and funding the Tracksuit Mafia.]] |
| 1625 | * {{Fanboy}}: Of Huey Lewis. He openly admits that he'd be a wreck if he met the man. |
| 1626 | * GoodAllAlong: After spending most of ''Hawkeye'' being presented as AmbiguouslyEvil, [[spoiler:the last episodes confirm he's a good man whose fiancée is using him as her fall guy.]] He fully cements himself being a good person by taking on members of the Tracksuit Mafia and saving Kate when she's held at gunpoint by one of them. |
| 1627 | * HeroesPreferSwords: Largely prefers using swords. [[spoiler:And then we find out that he was GoodAllALong.]] |
| 1628 | * IAmNotLeftHanded: Subtle, but present in the first two episodes. Jacques regularly favors his right hand- handing Kate a rose and holding Ronin's sword with his right, showing it's his dominant hand. However, when he faces Kate in a fencing duel in Episode 2, he uses his left hand. |
| 1629 | * IdleRich: Jacques claims to be this while he's being arrested in ''Hawkeye'''s fifth episode, which one could reasonably expect him to be given his romantic and flattering personality, on top of him not appearing to be a hard worker on the surface. However, his unusually good skills with a sword, combined with his possible connections to the Tracksuit Mafia seem to hint otherwise. [[spoiler:By the end, it's revealed his connections to the Tracksuit Mafia have been set up, and he apparently ''is'' just this trope, merely one with a fondness for fencing.]] |
| 1630 | * JumpedAtTheCall: [[spoiler:Judging by the way he leaps into action when he gets to use his fencing skills to defend innocent people in the finale, he's apparently had a hankering to play the hero for a while.]] |
| 1631 | * JustToyingWithThem: He is clearly letting Kate win during their sparring match in the second episode, but Kate forces his hand by attacking him when he removes his mask. She clearly thinks he's got ulterior motives for hiding his skill, [[spoiler:but ultimately it seems to have been just a poorly-thought-out attempt at bonding with Kate.]] |
| 1632 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: He really takes a shine to Ronin's katana when it is up for auction and eagerly steals it in the chaos. He also uses it to threaten Hawkeye. |
| 1633 | * {{Malaproper}}: For some reason, he has a habit of muddling ''all'' the well-known phrases. Most likely to play up that he's an UpperClassTwit. |
| 1634 | -->'''Jacques:''' I guess the beans are out of the bag. |
| 1635 | * MasterSwordsman: You ''will'' lose if you try to cross blades with him. |
| 1636 | * NiceGuy: He presents the image of a pleasant and charming man who takes Kate's constant suspicion in stride. [[spoiler:It's not an act - he also holds no obvious grudge over being wrongly imprisoned for fraud.]] |
| 1637 | * NotSoAboveItAll: When things become heated in the final episode, Jack becomes as giddy as a child (the opposite an UpperClassTwit like him is usually portrayed) that he can finally use his sword to fight. He's later invited by a [=LARPer=] to join their group to which he seems excited upon hearing the request. |
| 1638 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His name is Jacques, but he is exclusively called Jack. |
| 1639 | * PapaWolf: He uses his sword to protect and help Kate during their final battle against the Tracksuit Mafia. |
| 1640 | * RedHerring: Kate repeatedly finds evidence that Jack is up to no good and maybe the culprit behind Armand the Third's death. [[spoiler:It turns out Jack is completely innocent and he was actually framed by Eleanor]]. |
| 1641 | * RefugeInAudacity: It takes a special kind of person, to run around with a sword on your belt ''right after'' you were bailed out from the accusation of killing someone with one. |
| 1642 | * SheepInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Turns out he's just an UpperClassTwit at worst, who does genuinely care about Kate and was framed by Eleanor for her crimes.]] |
| 1643 | * SomethingAboutARose: His first appearance has him walk in with a rose in between his teeth for Eleanor. |
| 1644 | * SwordAndFist: He socks one of the Tracksuit Mafia members in the face when one of them has Kate at gunpoint and proceeds to cut down the rest when more come in. |

| 1660 | * AffablyEvil: Despite implications of shady dealings on his part, he's pleasant enough to Kate during their brief interactions. |

| 1681 | * SpoiledBrat: Literally every moment with him in public involves him loudly whining about how bored he is and how much he hates it there, and he visibly displays the surly, entitled impatience of someone who is used to always getting what they want, when they want, how they want and thinks that any sort of inconvenience is an intolerable hardship that they should not have to stand for. |

| 1893 | |
| 1894 | A former analyst of the National Security Agency, who faked his own death to hide from the government, and continue his work of exposure of the government's secret affairs, until the day Frank Castle comes across him. |
| 1895 | ---- |
| 1896 | * AdaptationalCurves: The comics Microchip is a very heavy set man, while the MCU's take on Micro is a leaner but still scruffy looking man. |
| 1897 | * AmbiguouslyJewish: His actor is Jewish and he has an appearance of typical Jewish portrayal (which his comics counterpart doesn't have), but his ethnicity isn't mentioned or referenced nonetheless. |
| 1898 | * BigBrotherIsWatchingYou: He monitors Frank's attempts to track him down by hacking into city surveillance cameras. |
| 1899 | * BiggerIsBetterInBed: While drunk, he boasts to Frank that he's hung like a moose. Then he drops his pants to prove it, much to Frank's amusement. |
| 1900 | * BirdsOfAFeather: With Frank. Both of them were involved with serious government conspiracies that costed them their families and forced them to live in hiding. Only difference is that Frank's family was KilledOffForReal, while David had to [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim fake his own death to protect his family from getting killed]]. |
| 1901 | * BrainsAndBrawn: While they're working together, he's the brains to Frank's brawn. |
| 1902 | * BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Micro has faked his own death to protect his wife and kids from harm. |
| 1903 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He and his family don't return in ''The Punisher'' Season 2 and aren't even mentioned by anybody. Given what he had been through, it's probably best to [[EarnYourHappyEnding leave him be with his family for once in peace.]] |
| 1904 | * TheCracker: He's a former NSA analyst, and proves to be an extremely proficient hacker. |
| 1905 | ** PlayfulHacker: He channels this when crashing the DHS gun sting, by hacking Dinah's com line and serenading them with [[Music/DonnaSummer ''I Feel Love'']]. |
| 1906 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Micro is mentioned by Skye back in Season 1 of ''Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' as a crime scene junkie and member of the Rising Tide. |
| 1907 | * {{Foil}}: To Frank. His situation is a reversal of Frank's situation: Frank lost his family, but Micro cut ties with his. Micro's still wrestling with the consequences of this decision when we first meet him, and he sees Frank as his way of getting his family back. |
| 1908 | * HappilyMarried: He and Sarah have two kids as a product of their marriage, and David can't help but watch them on hidden cameras he placed in his house. |
| 1909 | * InnocentBlueEyes: But sometimes IcyBlueEyes. |
| 1910 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He quickly forgives Sarah for falling for Frank. Frank makes it clear he doesn't want anything to do with her as he will always love Maria. |
| 1911 | * MissionControl: He provides the tech and observation for Frank's mission. |
| 1912 | * MoralityPet: Ends up being this towards Frank. David has no ethical issue with Frank's methods and Frank doesn't stray too far away from his usual violent ways. But David and his family provide Frank with the first solid, human connection that he has been able to commit to in quite some time, and Frank makes more compromises with him in regards to his usual ruthless methods than with any other character. Hearing him say thank you to David or laugh at him is occasionally pretty jarring, given Frank's usual demeanor and standoffish behavior towards Matt and Karen. In fact, whereas Matt, Karen and Foggy had trouble throughout all of ''Daredevil'' Season 2 getting him to cooperate with the system, Frank says he is willing to cooperate with Dinah Madani the instant that David exposes himself in a failed attempt to try to reach out to his son. |
| 1913 | ** This dynamic itself is also lampshaded when he has a nightmare of him being forced to watch not just his own family being murdered, but Micro's as well. |
| 1914 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: With his looks and his being pushed out of the NSA, Micro has heavy Edward Snowden vibes. |
| 1915 | * NonActionGuy: The reason he needs Frank's help. As his wife puts it, "David didn't like to get his hands dirty." When Frank tries to force him into the field, things don't work out well and he nearly kills Madani by ramming her car. |
| 1916 | * OddCouple: So, this spook thought it a good idea to buddy up with a wet works specialist... BlackComedy-style HilarityEnsues. Complete with [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple bickering]] over almost ''everything''. |
| 1917 | * PocketProtector: The reason Wolf's bullet didn't kill David is because it was stopped by the cell phone in his breast pocket. |
| 1918 | * RelativeButton: He flips out when he sees Frank near his wife's house, willing to face the Punisher with a gun if needed. |
| 1919 | * SchrodingersCanon: His appearance and mention in ''The Punisher'' neither acknowledges nor denies his off-screen involvement in ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' as a contact of Skye and member of the Rising Tide. As he's only referred to by nickname in ''S.H.I.E.L.D.'', it could be that Skye was referring to a different "Micro". |
| 1920 | * ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:Subverted, as his apparent death right after his family finally learns he's alive is revealed to be fake as part of Frank's plan. Still, that ten minutes before the reveal is painful.]] |
| 1921 | * {{Tritagonist}}: For ''Punisher'' Season 1, being the most important character next to Frank and Madani. |

| 1937 | * BrokenBird: Sarah's become this ever since her husband faked his death, being shown as clearly incapable of raising and disciplining her children, [[DrowningMySorrows taken up drinking]], and relying on Frank almost immediately after he starts helping her out to the point of sharing a kiss out of sheer desperation for a husband surrogate. |
| 1938 | * DramaticallyMissingThePoint: When Frank brings flowers as an ApologyGift, it's not a surprise the lonely widow makes a pass at this man who has been repeatedly turning up under various flimsy pretexts to offer help and sympathy. |
| 1939 | * GladToBeAliveSex: After reuniting with her husband and put into safehouse with him, she asks him to follow her into restroom so they can have a private moment. |
| 1940 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Sarah is unaware that her husband is still alive, and Frank is involved in getting them back together. |
| 1941 | * OutOfGenreExperience: From her perspective, most of the season is a Nicholas Sparks-esque drama where she struggles to keep raising her kids after her husband's death, and then has a MeetCute with a dashing stranger.

| 2030 | A fighter in the underground cage matches that Colleen participates as the "Daughter of the Dragon". |
| 2031 | ---- |
| 2032 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never referred to as Hitman, as he doesn't get involved in vigilantism like his comic book counterpart. |
| 2033 | * FightClubbing: He's a participant in underground cage matches. |
| 2034 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: A rare, non-villainous example, as Jim Pierce is a ''ComicBook/{{Punisher}}'' character and not an ''ComicBook/IronFist'' one. |

| 2056 | The owner of a speakeasy during Prohibition and the grandfather of the Koenig siblings. |
| 2057 | ---- |
| 2058 | * BadBoss: Downplayed and ultimately averted with Koenig. Yeah, he let's Freddy sleep in his bar, but charges him rent, but also gives him a discount on drinks, which he deducts broken glassware from. In the end, he insists on going with the team to find Freddie, insisting the kid's his responsibility. |
| 2059 | * DeliberateValuesDissonance: Koenig's casual sexism contrasting the heroes' modern sensibility is mostly PlayedForLaughs. |
| 2060 | * EatTheEvidence: When the Hunters barge into his bar looking for Freddie, Koenig sees the bullet Jemma extracted and left in a shot glass, so he quickly takes the glass and drinks it, bullet and all. |
| 2061 | * HiddenDepths: Grandpa Koenig is just the owner of a speakeasy, a very low level criminal and businessman, but it's hinted that he's pivotal to the development of S.H.I.E.L.D. in general and its science division in particular. |
| 2062 | * IdenticalGrandson: He's identical to his grandsons due to being portrayed by the same actor. |
| 2063 | * NotSoStoic: Koenig is a low level crime boss and has handled himself incredibly well so far, but when he sees the quinnjet and a chronicom, he freaks out. |
| 2064 | * StableTimeLoop: It's implied that Koenig and his descendants become involved in S.H.I.E.L.D. because S.H.I.E.L.D. involves him when they travel back, making him want to be a part of what they will become. He also takes an interest in the LMD project specifically after learning that Enoch is a Chronicom and becoming friends with him, since Enoch is left behind after he is unable to reach the ''Zephyr'' before it jumps forward in time. Averted however when it is revealed that travelling to the past creates a branching timeline. |
| 2065 | * SustainedMisunderstanding: Despite finding out that they're from the future, Koenig [[ContinuityNod still]] thinks S.H.I.E.L.D. are Canadians. |

| 2076 | ---- |
| 2077 | * AdaptationalWimp: They have no mystical abilities in the MCU, unlike their comic book counterparts. |
| 2078 | * AdaptationNameChange: Known as the Crane Daughters in the comics. |
| 2079 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: They appear to be regular humans in the MCU, unlike the AmbiguouslyHuman daughters of the Crane Mother from the comics. |
| 2080 | * BadassNormal: Despite having no abilities, the three are proficient martial artists. |
| 2081 | * RaceLift: While the Crane Daughters all appear Asian in the comics, Avalon is African-American while D.K. seems of mixed race. Only Aiko retains the fully Asian features of the comic book Crane Daughters. |
| 2082 | * UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Seems they are just business and artistic partners in the MCU instead of actual siblings. |
| 2083 | * WildCard: At first they work for Davos to [[spoiler:aid him in gaining the Iron Fist through the ritual tattoo of the Steel Serpent symbol,]] but later they work with [[spoiler:Danny and Colleen to strip Davos of the Iron Fist by performing another tattoo on Colleen.]] |

| 2099 | * AgeLift: In the comics, he was a superhero during his prime in the '40s. |
| 2100 | * BlessedWithSuck: He's superhumanly fast but suffers from chronic pain as a result. Also, his powers only work when he's afraid. |
| 2101 | * CassandraTruth: He comes across as paranoid, which results in Jessica and Malcolm not believing his claims. The fact that he's an overweight man claiming to be superhumanly fast doesn't help him make his case. |
| 2102 | * MythologyGag: He wears a yellow hoodie --a reference to his yellow costume in the comics-- and his pet mongoose Emil is a reference to his origin, i.e. the mongoose blood [[SuperhumanTransfusion transfusion]] that gave him his powers. |
| 2103 | * ProperlyParanoid: Somebody ''is'' out to kill him, just as he believes. |
| 2104 | * SuperSpeed: Though it only activates when he is scared. |
| 2105 | * UnexpectedCharacter: Who would've expected a character from the UsefulNotes/GoldenAgeOfComicBooks and mostly associated with ''ComicBook/{{The Invaders|MarvelComics}}'' would get his MCU debut in ''Jessica Jones'' of all titles. |

| 2140 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Although she's only briefly mentioned as a way to get a Strange variant to believe the main universe one, her early death is the reason he became a doctor. |
| 2141 | * SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: The main universe Stephen mentions her death to a variant to convince him he's the real deal since Donna's death isn't something he talks about to others. |
