| 37 | ---- |
| 38 | * AssholeVictim: Given how most of the inmates of the Kyln were notorious criminals, no tears were shed when Ronan and his men massacred everyone inside it. |
| 39 | * InstitutionalApparel: Prisoners in the Kyln wear yellow T-shirts and pants, with some variation. Gamora gets a sleeveless top, [[WalkingShirtlessScene Drax]] naturally doesn't bother with the shirt, and Groot (who can't even attempt to pass for humanoid) doesn't wear anything. |
| 40 | * NoPrisonSegregation: The Kyln prison holds people of different genders and species. This makes sense, given that it needs to hold everything from tree-people to humans — a simple male/female divide would probably not work. |
| 41 | * ProducePelting: Not long after the Guardians walk into the main hall of the Kyln, the other inmates start throwing food at Gamora because of her affiliation with Thanos and Ronan. |
| 42 | * TheyKnowTooMuch: Ronan orders the inmates massacred to cover up his hunt for the Orb. |

| 58 | A criminal imprisoned in the interstellar prison facility of the Nova Corps, the Kyln, who wants to slice Gamora's neck. |
| 59 | ---- |
| 60 | * AdaptationalHairstyleChange: In the comics, Moloka Dar has a full head of bushy hair, while in the MCU he is completely bald. |
| 61 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: He is a convicted criminal in both versions, but in the comics Moloka Dar willingly helps [[OmnicidalManiac Thanos]] when he comes to the Kyln prison by giving him information. His MCU counterpart, on the other hand, [[EvenEvilHasStandards has nothing but hatred]] for Thanos and even tries to murder his daughter Gamora for the crimes she committed on his orders. |
| 62 | * AllThereInTheScript: His name is never mentioned during the film, but it's revealed in the credits. |
| 63 | * BaldOfEvil: Dar is a smooth-headed criminal. |
| 64 | * BullyingADragon: Despite knowing Gamora's reputation, he assault her with a few other prisoners and they drag her into the prison showers to try to murder her. Once there, she proves to be very much capable of defending herself and manages to disarm most of them before putting a knife to Dar's throat. Had Drax and Peter not been present, she would surely have killed him. |
| 65 | * DeathByAdaptation: In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'', Moloka Dar is among the Kyln prisoners gathered by Ronan whom he orders to be executed. In the comics, he is last seen alive and well in the Kyln prison. |
| 66 | * DirtyCoward: He cowers before Drax and says anything just to placate him. |
| 67 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Dar is a convicted criminal, but it's implied that he's disgusted with the actions of Ronan and Thanos, trying to kill Gamora to get back at them and calling it "a death sentence for [Gamora's] crimes against the galaxy". |
| 68 | * HandGagging: In a deleted scene, Moloka Dar puts his hand over Gamora's mouth when he breaks into her cell during her sleep and sticks his knife to her throat. |
| 69 | * KilledOffscreen: He's presumably killed along with all the other inmates of the Kyln on Ronan's orders. |
| 70 | * MisplacedRetribution: Dar wants to kill Gamora to avenge "her" crimes against the galaxy... nearly all of which were committed by Thanos and Ronan, or on their orders. |
| 71 | * OpinionFlipFlop: When Drax is confused about the ThroatSlittingGesture, Peter Quill asks Moloka Dar if he knows what the gesture means and he answers that he does. However, Drax gives him an angry look so he immediately changes his mind and claims that no he doesn't know the gesture at all. |
| 72 | * RubberForeheadAlien: He looks pretty much like a human with some make-up. |
| 73 | * ThroatSlittingGesture: He does this when he threatens Gamora in front of the glass door of her cell. However, he later pretends not to know what this gesture means to avoid offending [[TheDreaded Drax the Destroyer]]. |
| 74 | * WouldHitAGirl: He'd be more than happy to assassinate a defenseless Gamora for the crimes she committed under Ronan's and Thanos's orders. |

| 87 | A criminal imprisoned in the interstellar prison facility of the Nova Corps, the Kyln, who has some implied nasty intentions towards Peter Quill. |
| 88 | ---- |
| 89 | * BaldOfEvil: There's no visible hair on his head. |
| 90 | * TheCameo: For James Gunn regular Nathan Fillion. |
| 91 | * DepravedHomosexual: He threatens and taunts Quill by rather lustfully stroking his face and talking about "slathering him in Gunavian jelly". It's a good thing Groot was close by to teach him a lesson. |
| 92 | * EvilSoundsDeep: He speaks with a notably deep voice, as is fitting for a giant alien. |
| 93 | * HumanoidAliens: He has a more monstrous appearance than most of the other aliens in the film, but he still has a mostly human-like body shape with one head, two arms and two legs. |
| 94 | * InelegantBlubbering: He's reduced to this by Groot via a NoseShove. |
| 95 | * KilledOffscreen: He's presumably killed along with all the other inmates of the Kyln on Ronan's orders. |
| 96 | * LaserGuidedKarma: No matter how painful the NoseShove was, he definitely had it coming for trying to mess with Groot's pals. |
| 97 | * MuggingTheMonster: Upon seeing the Guardians arrive at Kyln, he assumes that Peter Qill is easy prey and goes to harass him, only to discover the hard way that he is protected by [[WhenTreesAttack Groot]] who makes short work of him. |
| 98 | * NoNameGiven: Given that he's a minor character, his name is left unknown. |
| 99 | * NoseShove: Courtesy of Groot; it looks extremely painful. |
| 100 | * PrisonRape: He implies this pretty strongly as his intentions for Peter - though being an alien, it's entirely possible he was being literal about eating him. |
| 101 | * VillainousFaceHold: He fondles Peter's cheek in a creepy way when he arrives in the prison yard. |
| 102 | * TheWorfEffect: He's absolutely massive and very threatening, so Groot's power is established by easily defeating him. |

| 113 | * CompositeCharacter: They are the MCU version of the Majesdanians but instead named Gibborim, which are the demons worshipped by the Pride, the comic book counterparts of PRIDE. |
| 114 | * EnergyBeing: Gibborim are composed of light. |
| 115 | * DemonicPossession: They require host human bodies in order to survive Earth's atmosphere. This process takes some time but eventually the mind of the host becomes inactive. |
| 116 | * HalfHumanHybrid: While inside a human host, Gibborim may reproduce with humans, producing half-Gibborim hybrids with Gibborim powers. |
| 117 | * PowersViaPossession: They alter the biology of their host bodies, which develops healing properties, and also become capable of projecting bursts of light. Offspring of Gibborim while inside a host body develop Gibborim abilities. |
| 118 | * PossessionBurnout: Employing their powers causes the host bodies to deteriorate and require the energy transfers through the Dematerialization Box. |

| 127 | |
| 128 | A figure who wishes to buy out one of Geoffrey Wilder's properties for a large sum of money. Later revealed to be the reason that PRIDE exists and the benefactor of each of its members. |
| 129 | |
| 130 | ---- |
| 131 | * AchillesHeel: Gibborim is effectively NighInvulnerable, but their human host is not. If the host is dead, the Gibborim has to abandon it and find another host. |
| 132 | * AGodAmI: He didn't explicitly state it, but he made a point that Church of Gibborim is ''his'' religion, with the Gibborim's name actually being his species' name. The Church's human followers are unknowingly worshipping him. |
| 133 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: He's implied to be extremely long lived and when aged looks like a mummufied alien. When he has sex with Leslie, a blinding light emerges from them. He also has the same powers as Karolina. He's later revealed to be the magistrate of the Gibborim race. |
| 134 | * BadBoss: He threatens and outright attacks the PRIDE's kids when things don't go his way. By the end of season one, they're ''all'' conspiring against him. |
| 135 | * BigBad: For the show as a whole, as the ManBehindTheMan to the PRIDE. |
| 136 | ** Season 1: The PRIDE are TheHeavy and bound to serve him as a result of their DealWithTheDevil. Leslie, who is the leader of the PRIDE, is subservient to him. |
| 137 | ** Season 2: Jonah attempts to raise his ship so he can leave the planet with his family, which would inadvertently destroy LA. He and his family possess members of the PRIDE in the second half of the season. |
| 138 | * BigBadEnsemble: While they initially work for him, the Pride eventually turns against him and scheme to stop his apocalyptic plans. |
| 139 | * BodySurf: He's been doing this for quite awhile, though he [[UnreliableExpositor claims]] that he's kept his latest host for longer than average because it was the one by which he fathered Karolina. Once this form and his ship is destroyed, he possesses Victor. |
| 140 | * CanonForeigner: Neither he nor the other members of his family have any direct analogue to any specific Gibborim from the comics. He does share some DecompositeCharacter traits with Frank Dean, though. |
| 141 | * CastFromHitPoints: Using the Gibborim's light powers will inevitably damage his human host. It's implied that he took interest in Karolina because she's capable in using her powers freely without damaging her body thanks to her nature as Human-Gibborim hybrid. |
| 142 | * CompositeCharacter: He serves as the show's version of the Gibborim, a group of god-like beings, and also takes on some of Frank Dean's character traits (see DecompositeCharacter). He's later revealed to be a Gibborim, and in fact the magistrate of their race. |
| 143 | * ConsummateLiar: He assures Leslie that he won't need another sacrifice anymore. But the truth is he will ''always'' need HumanSacrifice if he wants to preserve his human host instead of changing the host. |
| 144 | * ConMan: He claims he predates human history, and sure enough his technology is tens of thousands of years ahead of human tech, and yet when it boils down to it he's nothing more than a cheap hustler who needs to con various humans to get what he wants. The Church of Gibborim itself was nothing but a cheap hustle: David Ellerh was just a strung-out hippie who dropped a little too much acid in the 60's and started spouting gibberish about "the light." All Jonah needed to do was put on a little lightshow for him and tell him he was right about everything, and lo and behold he got himself a nice little cult to do his bidding. |
| 145 | * TheCorrupter: Frank Dean would've remained a decent and humble GracefulLoser if Jonah didn't "befriend" him and gave him a way to take control of the Church from Leslie. It's also a case of MoreThanMindControl, as Frank knew Jonah manipulated him and he claimed that he intended to use it to his own advantage to find Karolina. Yet he remains obsessed with the Church even after Jonah's apparent death and Leslie attempting to close it down. |
| 146 | * DarkLordOnLifeSupport: He initially appeared as a weakened old man with cracked white skin and bound to a breathing apparatus. Later, it's revealed he requires yearly sacrifices in order to regain his youthful appearance. Season 2 puts an extra emphasis on life support: Four episodes into season 2 and his body is already decomposing with him coughing up blood. |
| 147 | * DecompositeCharacter: One for the comics Frank Dean. Frank Dean in the show has the name, the acting career and is married to Leslie, while Jonah is Leslie's lover, is more than human, and Karolina's biological father. |
| 148 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Initially ''appears'' that way in season 2, as he's seemingly killed halfway through the season by Nico. [[SubvertedTrope However]], it's ultimately revealed that he survived this, and is still the main cause of trouble; his ''physical'' body was destroyed, but he secretly [[BodySurf transferred his essence]] to Victor. This isn't revealed until the end of the season. |
| 149 | ** Played straight in season 3. He and his family seemingly meet their ends when Nico accidentally casts a spell that transports the Runaways and the Gibborim's hosts, now back to their old selves, into the Dark Dimension. The fates of the Gibborim themselves are never revealed after this as Morgan ends up taking stage as the antagonist for the remainder of the season. |
| 150 | * EnergyBeing: What Gibborim's form truly is. According to Xavin, they're difficult to kill, but not impossible. |
| 151 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Seems to care about Leslie and Karolina. However, the season 2 finale seems to indicate he has no problem using his daughter as a [[HumanResources sacrifice]] for himself and his fellow full-blooded Gibborim. However, come season 3 and it's shown he actually still cares about her in his own extremely twisted way and never intended to sacrifice ''her'', and plans to bring her back to the Gibborim home planet with the rest of his family, possibly sans his wife. |
| 152 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Sure he's a manipulative son-of-a-bitch, but even ''he'' knows ''not'' to [[BreadMilkEggsSquick drink a 1965 Macallan with ice]]. |
| 153 | * HiddenVillain: In the first part of season one, the parents' plan was unknown and Jonah doesn't reveal himself as their leader until after his revival. |
| 154 | * HumanoidAbomination: Jonah is actually an ancient alien possessing a human body. Jonah is also his host's name, not his. |
| 155 | * ILied: Gene and Alice Hernandez calculated that his ship leaving the Earth would cause an earthquake big enough to destroy California, but Jonah assures the rest of PRIDE that their calculations do not apply to the alien, organic technology that comprises his ship. When he finally prepares to depart and a massive earthquake appears imminent, he admits he lied. |
| 156 | * LightIsNotGood: The Room he's in is all white, and the revival apparatus used to sacrifice teenagers to revive him emits white light. His powered-up form gives him a chalky white colour, contrasting Karolina's rainbow look. |
| 157 | * LongLived: Implied. Frank finds a picture of Leslie in eighth grade. Beside her is Jonah, who looks exactly the same as he does in the present. The truth is that he ''does'' age, especially if he uses his light powers, and needs HumanSacrifice to revive his youth. The PRIDE had been sacrificing many people throughout the years to revive his youth. |
| 158 | * LukeIAmYourFather: He is Karolina's biological father. |
| 159 | * NoNameGiven: His ''title'' is known to be the magistrate of the Gibborim, but his real ''name'' isn't actually known, if Gibborim even have names at all. He's called Jonah because that's the name of the human host he [[DemonicPossession possesses]] from 1957 until his seeming "death" halfway through season 2. |
| 160 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his no-nonsense demeanor, he's prone to occasional snark when dealing with some of PRIDE's more... eccentric moments. To say nothing of the fact that he was downright giddy with the prospect of [[DesignatedGirlFight Leslie and Tina duking it out]], calling it a fight for the ages - and much to his dismay, he had to call it off as they were pressed for time. |
| 161 | * OlderThanTheyLook: His first appearance is that of a wrinkly old man, but the sacrifice revives his youth. |
| 162 | * PetTheDog: Though he's probably manipulating him, rather than antagonise Frank Dean, he seems to treat him in a friendly manner, reassuring him after he failed his test, and gifting him healing gloves so that he can feel special. |
| 163 | * PoweredByAForsakenChild: He is revived by an annual HumanSacrifice. |
| 164 | * SarcasticConfession: In Season 2, he didn't even bother to deny that he attempted to kill Geoffrey Wilder and use him as HumanSacrifice. |
| 165 | * SurroundedByIdiots: His opinion of PRIDE. Most of the problems he faces are the result of their screw-ups. |
| 166 | * UncertainDoom: Nico casts a spell that ultimately frees Victor, who is sent to the Dark Dimension, but The Magistrate's fate--along with his family--isn't known. |
| 167 | * TheUnfettered: Whatever it is that's down in that cavern, Jonah will stop at nothing to get it. |
| 168 | * WifeHusbandry: He knew Leslie as a child, and became her lover. How much hand he had in raising her is unknown, but the fact is that he was basically the god-figure in her father's cult, so it could have been ''a lot''. |
| 169 | * WouldHurtAChild: In "Hostile", he attacked the kids. It's revealed he killed Amy Minoru when he suspected she might know something about PRIDE (which she didn't, she had just hacked Wizard to rebel against her mom). |
| 170 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: |
| 171 | ** He attempted to murder Geoffrey to rejuvenate himself. [[SarcasticConfession He didn't even try to deny it]]. Surprisingly, he does manage to get himself rejuvenated without actually killing him as the latter is rescued by the Runaways. |
| 172 | ** Xavin was his slave in piloting his ship. When he meets her again after the ship exploded, he pretty much says that he no longer needs her. |

| 186 | * BigBadEnsemble: With Jonah and the Pride for the second half of Season 2 and first half of Season 3. |
| 187 | * DarkActionGirl: The daughter proves herself to be a ''terrifyingly'' good fighter while beating up Nico. It helps that her host is a capable martial artist as well. |
| 188 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: The son is set up as the worst of the Gibborim and a major antagonist in season 3. The episode after he reveals himself, the Gibborim are sent by Nico to the Dark Dimension. |
| 189 | * EroticEating: The daughter flirts with Robert while possessing Tina by eating a chocolate cake in a very suggestive manner. |
| 190 | * EvenEvilCanBeLoved: They're all terrible, but Jonah cares about all of them. |
| 191 | * EvilerThanThou: The son is [[TheSociopath way]] [[{{Sadist}} worse]] than the rest of his family, who ''themselves'' are EvilerThanThou to the human members of PRIDE. |
| 192 | * TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: They're a family of [[AliensAreBastards evil alien]] [[EnergyBeing energy beings]]. |
| 193 | * TheGlassesGottaGo: The wife repeatedly makes a point of removing Stacey's glasses everytime she's in control of Stacey's body, not even bothering with the fact that Stacey is BlindWithoutEm. |
| 194 | * GrandTheftMe: The wife and daughter are possessing Stacey Yorkes and Tina Minoru, respectively. The son eventually does the same with Alex Wilder; the exact beginning of his possession is left ambiguous. |
| 195 | * IceQueen: The wife doesn't really bother to impersonate Stacey very well and repeatedly acts cold and ruthless. |
| 196 | * LaughablyEvil: The daughter. |

| 215 | An ancient race of synthetic, semi-robotic beings from the planet Chronyca-2, in the constellation Cygnus. |
| 216 | ---- |
| 217 | * AerithAndBob: As a result of being named after people in the Bible, which Western civilization also practices, their names range from as common as Noah or Luke to as unusual as Enoch or Atarah. |
| 218 | * AlienNonInterferenceClause: They are forbidden from interfering in the affairs of the races they observe, ''unless'' it's to prevent an extinction-level event. |
| 219 | * AliensAreBastards: Not at first, but after their planet is destroyed by the Shrike their morality goes out the window. |
| 220 | * BiblicalMotifs[=/=]ThemeNaming: All of them are named after figures from the Bible. How come the Chronicoms not stationed on Earth also have Biblical names is not brought up. |
| 221 | * BigBad: Led by Sibyl, they serve as the main antagonists for season 7, after serving as secondary antagonists in season 6. |
| 222 | ** BigBadDuumvirate: Form alliances with various past members of HYDRA. |
| 223 | * BreadEggsBreadedEggs: In season 4 S.H.I.E.L.D. goes up against [[AIIsACrapshoot killer robots]], in season 5 they go up against [[AliensAreBastards killer aliens]], and when facing the Chronicoms they're now up against [[NinjaPirateRobotZombie killer robot aliens]]. |
| 224 | * CanonForeigner: They have no basis in existing Marvel mythology and were invented solely for the show. |
| 225 | * {{Expy}}: While they are original to the MCU, the Chronicoms have some similarities to the [[Characters/MarvelComicsSkrulls Skrulls]]. Like the Skrulls, they can pass as normal humans, infiltrate Earth to destablize its defenses so they can mount invasion to take over the planet, and led by a female character. In fact, the conflict between them and SHIELD is quite similar to the [[ComicBook/SecretInvasion2008 Secret Invasion]] storyline. |
| 226 | * FaceStealer: An individual can replace its synthetic skin with that of another, either a human or a fellow Chronicom, usually (if not always) by [[KillAndReplace killing the original]]. |
| 227 | * FantasticCasteSystem: According to Enoch, there are many "varietals" of Chronicoms. Three types are known: |
| 228 | ** Anthropologists are dispatched to observe a species after it achieves a recognizable form of sentience. This observation can take millennia (Enoch arrived on Earth around 30,000 BCE). Unfortunately in "The Sign", they're all reassigned as Hunters. |
| 229 | ** Hunters are the warriors are trackers of the Chronicoms, protecting their planet and hunting down targets. They are the most aggressive, and most unrelenting, of the Chronicoms, but can't seem to fix a problem unless it involves violence. |
| 230 | ** Predictors are akin to oracles, using a device known as the Time Stream to analyze timelines and predict the likely outcomes of actions so they can shape the course of events to their liking. |
| 231 | * FantasticPlastic: Whenever Enoch is referred to as a robot by his human friends, he insists that he isn't a robot and that he is made from a plastic alloy. |
| 232 | * HostileTerraforming: After their homeworld is destroyed by the Shrike they decide to conquer Earth and make it their new homeworld, while seeking to stop S.H.I.E.L.D., who they know could ruin their plans. |
| 233 | * HumanAliens: Invoked and subverted. Their real bodies are covered in a kind of synthetic skin that gives them human appearance. |
| 234 | * NinjaPirateRobotZombie: They're aliens but are also in a sense quasi-robotic, bio-mechanical lifeforms. |
| 235 | * RedOniBlueOni: The anthropologists are calm, collected, and can be reasoned with. The hunters are aggressive, prone to violence and engage in StupidEvil tactics if they can't get their way. Even after the other Hunters turn on Altarah when they realize time travel is not a viable option, they still decide to conquer an already inhabited world rather than locate and settle an uninhabited planet. |
| 236 | * SerkisFolk: As with Hive in season 3, the form we see them in most is human (presumably for budgetary reasons), but the rare appearance of their true form is rendered with CGI. |
| 237 | * TerminatorImpersonator: Hunters' relentlessness, ruthlessness and lack of emotion sure sound similar to certain robotic soldiers disguised under synthetic skin. |
| 238 | * TimePolice: The Hunters are responsible for going after those who "tamper with the universe". {{Subverted|Trope}} when it turns out that they just wanted Team Space to tell them how they traveled through time, as they wanted to use that knowledge to save their planet from its destruction. In fact, in season 7 they actively try to screw with the timeline in the 20th century for their own nefarious purposes, meaning S.H.I.E.L.D. that opposes them effectively becomes a TimePolice to ''them''. |
| 239 | * TookALevelInKindness: Thanks to Kora and May's powers, they develop the ability to feel empathy, leading to them deciding to live on Earth in peace alongside humans. |
| 240 | * TheWorfEffect: [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome Between Season 5 and 6]], they completely destroy the Confederacy. |

| 254 | The leader of a faction of surviving Chronicoms after the Shrike destroyed their planet. |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * BigBadEnsemble: Sarge and Izel are the main threats, but Atarah is obsessed with hunting down [=FitzSimmons=] so they can unlock time travel. |
| 257 | * BigBadWannabe: Her increasing SanitySlippage and StupidEvil tendencies leads to Malachi overthrowing her. |
| 258 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: She's killed off by Malachi, who takes over the Chronicoms to launch an invasion of Earth. |
| 259 | * SanitySlippage: Assuming she wasn't always like this, Atarah's sanity seems to have dropped considerably following the destruction of Chronyca-2. When told that [=FitzSimmons=] are in danger of being killed by merging their minds, Atarah flat out says she doesn't care and is willing to let them die before they can develop a means of time travel, which would leave the Chronicoms with nothing. Towards the end of the season, after seeing [=FitzSimmons=] memories, the other Hunters realize they can't time travel to save Chronyca-2, so they believe the Chronicoms should conquer a new world. Atarah, however, deludes herself into believing that the memories prove time travel is possible and refuses to abandon the idea. Recognizing that Atarah has lost her mind, Malachi kills her with Baal-Gad's consent. |
| 260 | * StupidEvil: She wants to go back through time to save her planet. But her method of threatening to kill ''everybody'' who can't help her or even worse can help her out of spite, evaporates whatever sympathy the audience might have for her plight. |

| 271 | * TheBadGuyWins: At the end of season six, Malachi and his army manage to take the Lighthouse and Fury's black box, although most of S.H.I.E.L.D. escapes. |
| 272 | * BigBadEnsemble: Overthrows Atarah and takes her plase as the secondary antagonist of the sixth season, launching an invasion of Earth while S.H.I.E.L.D. is occupied by the Izel-Pachakutiq BigBadDuumvirate. |
| 273 | * DemotedToDragon: In season 7, he is not the BigBad, but is instead under Sibyl's command, as seen when he follows her orders to lead his group of Hunters to search the Lighthouse, so he can capture Fitz and the other team members who have successfully infiltrated the base. |
| 274 | * TheDragon: He leads the hunt for Team Space at Altarah's orders, and serves as her main enforcer. |
| 275 | * DragonAscendant: After killing Atarah, Malachi leads the Chronicoms' raid on the Lighthouse, and is set up as the BigBad of the show's seventh season. However, he is DemotedToDragon to Sibyl in season 7. |
| 276 | * FailureIsTheOnlyOption: After seeing [=FitzSimmons=] memories, Malachi concludes that saving Chronyca-2 is impossible, and the Chronicoms would be better off conquering a new world to establish a colony called Chronyca-3. Atarah refuses to move from her plan on time travel, so Malachi ultimately kills her with the other Hunters' approval. |
| 277 | * HeelFaceBrainwashing: The combination of May and Kora's powers cause Malachi and the other Hunters under his command in the Lighthouse to have empathy and stand down from attacking S.H.I.E.L.D. any further, instead deciding to peacefully live on Earth. |
| 278 | * TheStarscream: Malachi betrays and kills Atarah in order to take over the Chronicoms and enforce his own plan to establish Chronyca-3 on Earth. |
| 279 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: By the end of season 6, he appears to be the new leader of the Chronicoms, who are antagonizing S.H.I.E.L.D. While the Chronicoms remain the main villains in season 7, Malachi himself isn't seen or even mentioned, with the new character [[TheHeavy Luke]] doing most of the Chronicoms' dirty work. He is shown at the end of the season to have stayed behind in present-day Lighthouse, as he is seen again in the final episode when the main cast returns. |

| 355 | |
| 356 | A Chronicom Predictor and the leader of a separate faction from Atarah who oversees the Chronicoms' plans to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.. |
| 357 | ---- |
| 358 | * AffablyEvil: When Coulson meets her in "Adapt or Die", she answers all his questions sincerely and calmly. |
| 359 | * BigBad: She is by far the biggest threat in the final season and the only member of the BigBadDuumvirate who is present from beginning to end, pulling all the strings. |
| 360 | * BigBadDuumvirate: Sibyl is the actual main antagonist of the seventh season, and she and Nathaniel Malick are the two main antagonists of the second half of the seventh season, with Malick providing Sibyl with muscle in exchange for knowledge of the future after her Hunters are destroyed. As the highest-ranking Chronicom, she's clearly the dominant member of the partnership over the StupidEvil [[BigBadWannabe Malick]], though he receives far greater enmity from S.H.I.E.L.D. and more focus as TheHeavy of their alliance. |
| 361 | * BigBadWannabe: Played with, considering that her status as a living supercomputer (with the only way to kill her being to atomize her body and the entire fleet of warships controlled by her to prevent her from escaping digitally) and her ability to affect the future makes her arguably ''the'' most powerful and dangerous enemy S.H.I.E.L.D. has ever faced. Still, for all her insistence that she knows exactly what thread to pull to ensure the Chronicoms' success, almost ''everything'' that happens broadly lines up with Fitz, Simmons, and Enoch's own plans to stop them. Malick deems Sibyl useless as an oracle after S.H.I.E.L.D. beats the odds one too many times and goes to challenge Daisy on his own, and even ''Sibyl herself'' decides to disregard her own calculations. Once S.H.I.E.L.D. reunite with Fitz, Coulson and May easily play Sibyl to ensure their own victory, and her ultimate fate is to be anticlimactically knocked out by a surprise attack from May and KilledOffscreen by her exploding ship while Malick becomes the FinalBoss for Daisy. |
| 362 | * CanonForeigner: Like the rest of the Chronicoms, she has no basis from any of the comics. |
| 363 | * CharacterDeath: She is killed for good in "What We're Fighting For" (the series finale) when her Chronicom flagship is blown up by Daisy detonating the ship's reactor cores. |
| 364 | * KilledOffscreen: After a surprise attack by May crashing through the ceiling knocks Sibyl down, she is not seen again and is finally obliterated when Daisy unleashes her full power to destroy every single warship, preventing Sibyl from digitally escaping. |
| 365 | * MeaningfulName: Sibyls were ancient Greek oracles who prophesied at holy sites. This Sibyl predicts the future for a group largely named for Biblical figures. |
| 366 | * NotQuiteDead: She survives the destruction of the Chronicoms' time ship by uploading her mind into a hard drive. |
| 367 | * NonActionBigBad: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Other than remotely controlling robots to attack the Lighthouse (including inhabiting one herself) in "The Totally Excellent Adventures of Mack and the D" and personally restraining and striking down Coulson in "What We're Fighting For", she takes no direct part in any fights, being more of a calculating manipulator than a fighter. |
| 368 | * OddNameOut: Sibyl is the only Chronicom seen so far to not be named after a figure from Literature/TheBible. |
| 369 | * OutGambitted: Sibyl is easily played by S.H.I.E.L.D. in the finale, as they trick her into destroying Izel's temple and providing them access to neutralize the Hunters, ending the Chronicom invasion. |
| 370 | * PragmaticVillainy: When Abel asks her why she set the Chronicoms to melt down rather than explode (and take out S.H.I.E.L.D.), Sibyl offers up the counterargument that the Chronicom tech scattered as a result would ''hasten'' S.H.I.E.L.D.'s development. |
| 371 | * TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies: She frames the Chronicoms' actions in this light in her conversation with Coulson. He doesn't buy it. |
| 372 | * TheWomanBehindTheMan: She is pulling the strings behind Luke's alliance with Wilfred Malick. |
| 373 | * VillainOverride: She can give any Hunter orders using only her mind, which she does to command Malachi and those stationed at the Lighthouse to wipe out the intruders. |
| 374 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: When using the control module to overtake and give orders to every Hunter within range, including down in the Lighthouse, her voice echoes all over the ship and she doesn't even need to move her mouth. |

| 384 | * AlienInvasion: They claim that [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Earth is under threat from one]], and will protect humanity in exchange for Gravitonium and Inhumans. |
| 385 | * ArmsDealer: What they serve as to the greater galaxy in the future. Of course, those weapons are [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil Inhumans]]. |
| 386 | * BadassArmy: According to Kasius. Ben's combat and telepathic abilities allowed him to go toe-to-toe with [[BadassNormal Melinda May]], but Kasius said that Ben wouldn't have lasted a day in his father's army. |
| 387 | ** That said, their forces are apparently incapable of standing up to a true threat like Thanos, with Taryan openly admitting that the Confederacy does not dare challenge him, hence their game plan of gathering everything of value from Earth and bolting before he gets there. |
| 388 | * BadassLongcoat: Seems to be a style of the Confederacy; Faulnak and the Kree Watch all them wear them in the future, while Taryan, Kasius and Qovas tend toward {{Badass Longrobe}}s. |
| 389 | * BigBadDuumvirate: There are six member races of the Confederacy, and each race's leader is accorded an equal voice within meetings. |
| 390 | * BigBadWannabe: The Confederacy is easily cowed by Graviton, though Taryan manages to get on his good side, and are apparently destroyed by the Chronicoms offscreen. |
| 391 | * CanonForeigner: There's no Confederacy in the comics. |
| 392 | * GreaterScopeVillain: The Confederacy are behind Hale, and subsequently are the cause for the creation of Graviton, but only Qovas gets directly involved. |
| 393 | * HegemonicEmpire: Made up of multiple alien races, with the House of Kasius operating independently from the Kree Empire, but still a conquering alliance. |
| 394 | * ILied: They offered to protect the Earth in exchange for Inhumans and gravitonium. They have no intention of doing anything of the sort; they just wanted to extort humanity before [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Thanos got there]]. |
| 395 | * KilledOffScreen: They are wiped out in-between Seasons 5 and 6 by the Chronicoms to [[TheWorfEffect show off their strength]]. |
| 396 | * PsychoSerum: They are the manufacturers of the Odium, a concoction which will turn the user into [[TheBerserker a berserk rage]], giving them incredible strength and all but eliminating any sensation of pain. However, the substance will eventually cause the user's heart to burst after a short amount of time, so it's used for a LastStand. |

| 410 | ---- |
| 411 | * AffablyEvil: He's ''far'' more personable than his sons. While Faulnak was an unrepentantly psychotic {{Jerkass}} and Kasius was a narcissistic FauxAffablyEvil, Taryan is at least affable and polite to allies and enemies alike. Talbot even seemed quite fond of the guy, although he wasn't exactly in the right state of mind at the time and was being manipulated. |
| 412 | * BigBadEnsemble: In ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' Season Five, along with Glenn Talbot and General Hale. While Talbot as Graviton is the bigger threat as the one who is destined to crack the Earth apart, and Hale set the events in motion for Talbot becoming Graviton, Taryan is the GreaterScopeVillain as Kasius' father and a member of the Confederacy Hale wants to stop. He doesn't appear until "The One Who Will Save Us All", but establishes himself as a big threat within the Confederacy by kowtowing to Talbot and manipulating him into giving him Daisy Johnson. |
| 413 | * CanonForeigner: Has no comic counterpart. |
| 414 | * CloseRangeCombatant: Implied; according to Kasius, Faulnak's preference for blades over firearms sounds very similar to their father. |
| 415 | * GreaterScopeVillain: For the entirety of Season 5, as Kasius rules the Lighthouse in his name in the future and Hale, by extension of working for the Confederacy, works for him. Even Graviton, the FinalBoss of the season, was manipulated into that position by Taryan. |
| 416 | * InsignificantBluePlanet: Most of the Kree consider Earth this, and mocked him for his obsession with it, but he apparently saw it as a "hidden blue gem", and gaining it was a big goal for the Confederacy. |
| 417 | * KarmaHoudini: Despite being the ''real'' bad guy for ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' Season 5, he ultimately survives the season. |
| 418 | * OffingTheOffspring: Kasius is convinced his father sent him on the military expedition to get him killed, as he never bothered to properly train Kasius in warfare. |
| 419 | * ParentalFavoritism: He favors Faulnak over Kasius, as Faulnak acts like a "proper" Kree warrior, while Kasius and Sinara retreated from a losing battle. |
| 420 | * ThePatriarch: The head of House Kasius. |
| 421 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Only appears on two episodes, but was more or less responsible for the problems of Season Five. |

| 477 | ---- |
| 478 | * AnthropomorphicZigZag: They can walk upright, but tend to lean towards the ground when moving around. |
| 479 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: Remorath can extend jagged blades from below their arms, a la [[Franchise/MortalKombat Baraka]]. Whether they're just hidden in their cloaks or are anatomically part of the Remorath is unknown. |
| 480 | * BadassLongcoat: Wear black long coats, and can pretty much take anyone they come up against. |
| 481 | * DarkIsEvil: They dress in all black, cause electrical lights to go out, and are utterly ruthless hunters. |
| 482 | * TheDreaded: According to Deke, the humans of the Lighthouse were unable to fight them off; they just gave into the Remorath's demands and cleaned up the bodies after they left. |
| 483 | * {{EMP}}: According to Deke, wherever they go, "darkness follows", and that's NotHyperbole: electronics shut down wherever the Remorath appear, leading Fitz to outright speculate that they generate an EMP field. |
| 484 | * ImmuneToBullets: Bullets just seem to inconvenience them at best. Even a direct hit from the Shotgun-Axe just slows one down. |
| 485 | * MalevolentMaskedMan: Remorath soldiers wear masks over their faces. |
| 486 | * ThemeNaming: All named Remorath have names beginning with the letter "Q". |

| 524 | |
| 525 | A mysterious planet-hopping crew led by Sarge. |
| 526 | ----- |
| 527 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: They can speak and understand English perfectly despite having never been to Earth. |
| 528 | * HumanAliens: They look human, but seemingly originate from different worlds. Jaco's fire-breathing ability seems to support they aren't humans from an AlternateUniverse. |
| 529 | * EvilCounterpart: To the [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E1Pilot original]] Bus team led by Coulson, each being led by a version of Phil Coulson that operates out of a vehicle (the Bus for Team Coulson, Sarge's Truck for Sarge's team) with the ultimate objective to protect people, Sarge's team does it by way of being [[WellIntentionedExtremist well-intentioned extremists]] rather than take steps to actually save individual lives like S.H.I.E.L.D. |
| 530 | * {{Expy}}: Sarge's entire crew looks like they came straight out of a ''Film/MadMax'' movie. From their clothes, weapons, especially their truck, and their cutthroat attitudes, they'd be right at home in the Wasteland. |
| 531 | * FourIsDeath: As Tinker dies [[WeHardlyKnewYe very shortly after being introduced to the audience]], they're effectively a gang consisting of four members. |
| 532 | * HellBentForLeather: Whatever world they came from seems to have been deep in TheApunkalypse. |
| 533 | * OutsideContextProblem: Obviously, nobody knows where the hell they came from and what it is that they seek. |
| 534 | * RealityWarper: Them arriving on Earth causes all kinds of weird stuff to happen. |
| 535 | * TheSpook: Very little is known about them. They're not from Earth, they're not human in spite of their appearances, and they're clearly up to no good. Everything else remains a mystery. |
| 536 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: They're hunting down parasitic alien creatures called the Shrike that invade worlds and have been following them world to world. Trouble is, Sarge and his team don't care if they have to leave collateral damage in their wake and are perfectly okay with destroying worlds they believe to be too far gone... including the Earth. |

| 549 | |
| 550 | The sole female member of Sarge's crew. |
| 551 | ---- |
| 552 | * AffablyEvil: Despite her clear psychosis, Snowflake's butterfly speeches seem genuinely intended to comfort her victims, and she takes a sincere liking to May and Deke. |
| 553 | * AxCrazy: She is obviously a little...''off''. Her response to people's deaths is to just talk about how they'll become "butterflies". (Sometimes she'll cheerfully tell you what a beautiful butterfly you'll make ''while'' she's killing you.) |
| 554 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Her understanding of death is a bit...[[CloudCuckooLander off]], and doesn't seem to think that killing people is a bad thing because they'll become "beautiful butterflies". |
| 555 | * BookDumb: If the subject is not cutting people up, or pseudo-philosophy about reincarnation, odds are it will be lost on Snow. Her most extensive knowledge of an atom bomb was it is pretty to watch go off. |
| 556 | * ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: Believes that when people die, they will become butterflies. So she has no problems with killing. |
| 557 | * CloudCuckoolander: Has an odd spacey demeanor, and talks about [[DeadlyEuphemism what beautiful butterflies people will make]] after she kills them, showing an off-kilter view of death and rebirth. Assuming, of course, that she's not [[ObfuscatingInsanity faking it]]. |
| 558 | * DarkActionGirl: The sole female member of the team and plenty capable of kicking ass. |
| 559 | * DissonantSerenity: Again, she's eerily calm even when she's about to kill people. |
| 560 | * EvilCounterpart: To Daisy. Both are {{Action Girl}}s, Snowflake appears close with Sarge (as Daisy was with Coulson), they have similar appearances, and both attract the attention of Deke. |
| 561 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Turns on Sarge after he leaves her to die with May, Daisy, and Deke. |
| 562 | * NightmareFetishist: When Daisy describes herself as a hacker, Snowflake asks if that means that Daisy hacks people to pieces with a worryingly wide grin. |
| 563 | * ObfuscatingInsanity: In the episode "The Other Thing", it's implied that her unhinged personality is just an act, based on her conversation with May towards the end of the episode. |
| 564 | * OddCouple: With Deke. |
| 565 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Even after she helps stop Sarge's plan, Daisy still has Snowflake placed in lockup. Helping S.H.I.E.L.D. and having the hots for Deke doesn't change the fact that she's an AxCrazy lunatic who's killed several people. |
| 566 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: She cuts her own head and then runs out pretending that she's a civilian and the others have her baby, distracting the S.H.I.E.L.D. team just long enough for the bombs to go off. She's worryingly casual about it, doing it without hesitation and showing no sign of pain. |

| 575 | |
| 576 | The biggest member of Sarge's team. |
| 577 | ---- |
| 578 | * AffablyEvil: The most level-headed and polite man in Sarge's team. Not that it makes him any less dangerous. He eventually defects to SHIELD. |
| 579 | -->'''Jemma:''' "I like you." |
| 580 | -->'''Jaco:''' "Well, that's because I'm a likable person." |
| 581 | * AffectionateNickname: Pax calls him "Jaco the Giant," which both Davis and Yo-Yo take to doing as well after Jaco's HeelFaceTurn. |
| 582 | * BaldOfEvil: Not a single hair on his head. |
| 583 | * BeardOfEvil: A quite unkempt one. |
| 584 | * BizarreAlienBiology: It's not even known ''what'' he (or the rest of Sarge's men) really are, but his biology seems to differ slightly from the others. He's seen huffing cleaning fluid while Sarge remarks he hasn't breathed his own atmosphere in ages. It would seem ''wherever'' Jaco is from, the atmosphere is thick with ammonia - quite toxic to regular humans. |
| 585 | * TheBrute: Though he has been quite a civil version of the trope. |
| 586 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: He really just wanted to be a baker back on his homeworld. Then the Shrike wiped it out, he joined Sarge's BadassCrew, and the rest is history. |
| 587 | * GeniusBruiser: While Tinker was the resident scientist of the group, it's obvious Jaco is extremely intelligent himself. He's at least knowledgeable enough in geology to simplify PEGS (piezoelectric crystals) to a scared jewelry store employee. |
| 588 | * HeelFaceTurn: After some prodding from Yo-Yo, he realizes that Sarge's countless sacrifice of innocents all in the name of stopping Izel is wrong, so he defects to SHIELD. |
| 589 | * HeroicSacrifice: He sacrifices himself to blow up Izel's ship. Unfortunately she'd already slipped away turning it into a somewhat SenselessSacrifice. The only upside is he stopped Sarge's A-Bomb from killing any innocents. |
| 590 | * LargeRunt: The massive Jaco insists that he was the runt of the litter compared to his seven brothers. |
| 591 | * ThePhilosopher: Further subverting his brutish appearance, Jaco seems to be very thoughtful and cultured. |
| 592 | -->'''Jaco:''' If you consider the infinite complexity of nature, maybe strange is the norm. |
| 593 | * PlayingWithFire: Don't leave him coughing for too long, or he'll begin exhaling like a dragon. |
| 594 | * SupremeChef: Combined with RealMenWearPink. Despite his massive size and strength, back on his home planet he was - according to him - a damn good baker who passed his skills on to his family. [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Then his planet went to shit]] [[LastOfHisKind and Sarge saved just him]]. |
| 595 | * WouldntHurtAChild: Doesn't hurt a group of kids who witness him materializing on Earth, and later tells a little girl to run away from a blast radius. |

| 609 | * CharacterDeath: After he's wounded in a fight with Yo-Yo, Sarge kills him so he won't hold the rest of the team back. |
| 610 | * FacialHorror: His face is horrifically burned by Yo-Yo, though Sarge puts him out of his misery quickly afterwards. |

| 633 | !!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Eternals}}'' |
| 634 | |
| 635 | A monstrous race of near-immortal beings also genetically engineered by the Celestials and are also historical enemies of the Eternals, their racial cousins. |
| 636 | ---- |
| 637 | * AdaptationalAbomination: In the comics, they were often bizarre-looking but still humanoid creatures, here however they're animal-like sinuous monsters. |
| 638 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The Deviants in the comics are an ancient subspecies of humans genetically modified by the Celestials. Here, they are an independent species completely unconnected to humans. |
| 639 | * AdaptationalNonSapience: In the comics, the Deviants were able to create advanced civilizations that could dominate entire worlds. Here, they all lack sapience [[spoiler:and require the absorption of cosmic energy from the Eternals to evolve and achieve sapience]]. |
| 640 | * AlienBlood: They have greenish blood, as shown when Ikaris uses his eye beams to cut off the wing of a flying Deviant in the Amazon. |
| 641 | * AnimalisticAbomination: The Deviants all look like primal predators, albeit with incredibly alien-like skin and features. |
| 642 | * ArchEnemy: To the Eternals, for as long as human history itself. |
| 643 | * CameFromTheSky: [[spoiler:As he explains the purpose of the Deviants, Arishem shows Sersi a vision of the Deviants arriving on an alien planet in a meteorite shower.]] |
| 644 | * DwindlingParty: [[spoiler:The Deviants of Kro's pack are killed one after the other over the course of the film. The first one dies at the hands of Gilgamesh in Australia, most of the others are killed one by one by the Eternals during the battle in the Amazon, and finally Kro himself is slain by Thena in the final battle.]] |
| 645 | * EvilIsVisceral: Their bodies mostly look like they're all muscle without any skin. |
| 646 | * EvolutionPowerUp: The Deviants adapt and evolve to take on characteristics of a planet's predators [[spoiler:whom they were created to consume and destroy]]. [[spoiler:This includes the Eternals themselves]]. |
| 647 | * ExtraEyes: While the Deviants have two eyes in the comics, they tend to have four eyes in the MCU. |
| 648 | * FoodChainOfEvil: [[spoiler:The Deviants were created by the Celestials to hunt and kill the apex predators on each planet. In a vision that Arishem shows to Sersi, a flock of flying deviants attack a dinosaur-like alien creature just after it has killed a prey.]] |
| 649 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: All Deviants have four glowing yellow eyes and act like beastly killing machines. |
| 650 | * GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:As mentioned below, the Deviants were created to be the ultimate adaptive apex predator for other powerful predators that could potentially endanger other intelligent life. Unfortunately, their bloodthirsty nature and ability to adapt after killing predators eventually made the Deviants unstoppable killing machines, to the point that Arishem had to create the Eternals to destroy them]]. |
| 651 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: [[spoiler:The Deviants were initially created by Arishem to be apex predators that exclusively hunted other native predators to protect any budding intelligent life they endangered, and were capable of rapidly evolving to resemble the predators they killed to increase their effectiveness. However, it wasn't long before they became so much like their original prey that they evolved to hunt said intelligent life ''anyway'' and bred out of control, necessitating the creation of the Eternals as countermeasures against ''them'']]. |
| 652 | * HarmlessFreezing: Kro and his pack have spent millenia frozen in ice, but after being defrosted they don't seem impaired in the slightest [[spoiler:and even manage to kill Ajak]]. |
| 653 | * ImmuneToBullets: Bullets can irritate them or even knock them down, but they appear entirely incapable of killing the Deviants or even piercing their flesh even at point-blank range, reinforcing that the Eternals and their powers are the only things truly capable of killing them. |
| 654 | * LastOfTheirKind: While the Eternals exterminated most of the Deviants five centuries ago, Kro and his pack survived because they were frozen in Alaska and were only revived in present day when the ice they were in melted. |
| 655 | * MetamorphosisMonster: [[spoiler:It's revealed with Kro that the Deviants can forcibly evolve themselves by consuming an Eternal's cosmic energy. Kro uses his absorption powers to evolve throughout the film, and he feeds some of Ajak's energy to the last few Deviants to mutate them to more powerful forms]]. |
| 656 | * MonsterInTheIce: The Eternals were under the impression that they defeated the last of Earth's Deviants about five hundred years ago, so they're surprised when new ones turn up in the present day. It's later revealed that these "new" Deviants were frozen in ice in Alaska for millennia and were thawed out due to glacial melting. |
| 657 | * NonMaliciousMonster: [[spoiler:Surprisingly, they fit this. The Eternals are told they're parasitic monsters that deliberately, and maliciously hunt intelligent life, when they're really just animals trying to survive, and don't have the mental capacity to make moral decisions. The problem is simply they see humans as just another kind of prey]]. |
| 658 | * OmnicidalManiac: Most of the Deviants we see in ''Eternals'' are mindless predators who want nothing more than to kill and consume anything they come across. [[spoiler:At it turns out, that was more or less how they were created. Things changed, however, when they started targeting the life they were supposed to protect]]. |
| 659 | * PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs: [[spoiler:The Deviants were designed by the Celestials to wipe out a planet's apex predators so that sapient life had a chance to emerge. They aren't actually shown killing the dinosaurs but they are seen destroying some creatures that look a lot like dinosaurs on another planet.]] |
| 660 | * PredatorsAreMean: They are invasive alien predators that prey on intelligent life, and the villains that the heroic Eternals are at war with. [[spoiler:Which is a lie -- the Deviants ''are'' still predators, but were made to be predators ''of'' predators, "protecting" intelligent life in a roundabout way, until of course they evolved to start hunting said intelligent life anyway]]. |
| 661 | * SealedEvilInACan: Kro and his pack were trapped in a glacier in Alaska for at least several centuries. [[spoiler:They only managed to get free when the ice melted in present day due to the impending Emergence causing the Earth's core to heat up]]. |
| 662 | * ToServeMan: [[spoiler:As the Deviants evolved, they ended up preying mainly on intelligent species, including humans on Earth.]] In the movie's opening scene in 5,000 B.C., a Deviant devours an unfortunate fisherman and then tries to do the same to his young son before the Eternals come to his rescue. |
| 663 | * SuperpoweredMooks: [[spoiler:In addition to having their natural great strength that allows them to fight the Eternals, the Deviants in Kro's pack are all granted the [[HealingFactor regeneration power]] of Ajax, making them even tougher to defeat.]] |
| 664 | * WouldHurtAChild: The Deviants attack all humans they come across, and make no exception for children. During the first scene, two Deviants attempt one after the other to devour a young boy from a fishing village in Mespotamia in the year 5,000 B.C., but they are both thwarted by the Eternals. In the year 575 B.C. in Babylon, a young girl is also attacked by a Deviant and has to be saved by Ikaris and Makkari. In addition, the Deviants don't pull any punches when they fight Sprite, who has the appearance of a child despite being a 7,000 year-old Eternal. |

| 675 | |
| 676 | An unusually powerful Deviant unlike any other the Eternals have faced over the millennia. His appearance is the harbinger of a global threat. |
| 677 | ---- |
| 678 | * AbsurdlySharpClaws: Kro's claws are so sharp that he manages to slice a food stall in half as easily as if it was made of paper during his fight against Ikaris in London. |
| 679 | * AdaptationDyeJob: In the comics; Kro has pinkish-red skin like that of a satanic demon. In the film, he is emerald green with some hints of red and purple on his body. |
| 680 | * AdaptationalSkimpiness: Exaggerated. The Kro of the comics is usually shown wearing clothes, whereas the MCU Kro spends the entire movie stark naked, [[spoiler:even while in his humanoid form]]. |
| 681 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, Kro's primary power is to have a mental control over the processes and structure of his body. [[spoiler:His ability to absorb the powers and memories of the Eternals is something unique to the MCU version.]] |
| 682 | * AdaptationalUgliness: Kro was never particularly attractive in the comics; however, while he looked like a rosy red demon there, he looks much more ugly and inhuman in the film. |
| 683 | * AdaptedOut: In the comics, he and Thena had a millennia-long affair that only ended early in the 20th century, and they still care deeply for each other in the present day. [[spoiler:In the film, they're nothing more than antagonistic to each other, and Thena ends up killing Kro while he's in the process of trying to kill her]]. |
| 684 | * AffectionateGestureToTheHead: [[spoiler:Kro playfully caresses Thena's cheek while he's pretending to be Gilgamesh during her Mahd Wy'ry episode in the cave.]] |
| 685 | * AllThereInTheScript: His name is never spoken in the film, but it appears in the credits. |
| 686 | * AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:On top of having all the regular powers of a Deviant, such as a great strength, Kro also has the unique ability of absorbing the powers of Eternals. Throughout the movie, he hunts down the Eternals to kill them and take their powers for himself. By the time of the final battle, he possesses the powers of a Deviant plus the HealingHands power of Ajak and the PowerFist power of Gilgamesh.]] |
| 687 | * AntiVillain: [[spoiler:At first a mere beast, achieving sentience allows him to form more tangible motives... anger over his people being used and discarded, and awareness that the Eternals are here to destroy the planet. The Eternals even question allying with him, but ultimately reason that letting him gain more power would be too dangerous]]. |
| 688 | * ArchEnemy: For all the Eternals, but especially Thena, as he's responsible for the deaths of both Ajak and Gilgamesh, the latter of which Thena had formed a strong bond with due to him taking care of her for thousands of years. During the climactic final battle, Thena goes out of her way to find and fight Kro herself in order to avenger Gilgamesh's death. |
| 689 | -->'''Ikaris:''' ''[About Kro]'' I fought that one before, he's stronger than the others. |
| 690 | * AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:The reason Kro is trying to kill the Eternals is because he wants to avenge the deaths of all the Deviants they have killed over the centuries.]] |
| 691 | * BaldOfEvil: He's a villain and doesn't have a single hair on his head even in his humanoid form, which is something he has in common with his comic book counterpart. |
| 692 | * BarbieDollAnatomy: [[spoiler:While Kro remains butt-naked the entire movie, he doesn't seem to have anything resembling genitalia or nipples, not even after evolving into a human-like being.]] |
| 693 | * BenevolentBoss: Unlike most of the other {{Big Bad}}s of the MCU, Kro genuinely cares about his Deviants followers, to the point that [[spoiler:he shares Ajak's power with them and tries his best to avenge them after they are killed by the Eternals]]. |
| 694 | * BigBadEnsemble: While obviously not as great of a threat as the [[spoiler:Celestials]], Kro is still a major problem as the leader of the Deviants, trying to kill the Eternals even as Tiamut threatens to destroy the world. |
| 695 | * BishonenLine: He starts the film as just another Deviant, a monstrous if unusually powerful beast resembling a tentacled, four-eyed ape if anything. [[spoiler:After absorbing Gilgamesh's energy, he evolves into his pictured humanoid form and gains true sentience. A flashback showing Ajak's death at his hands reveals he was originally more animalistic, resembling a generic quadruped predator with tentacles before becoming more ape-like after taking Ajak's powers]]. |
| 696 | * CombatPragmatist: During the fight in the Amazon, Kro struggles against Gilgamesh but he notices a Mahd Wy'ry-afflicted Thena hiding behind a tree, so he decides to go after her. As he expected, Gilgamesh runs to protect her and Kro manages to catch him with his tentacles to absorb his powers. |
| 697 | * CombatTentacles: Boasts a vast array of menacing sharp-tipped tentacles sprouting from his back, that he uses in battle. [[spoiler:They possess the ability to steal the Eternals' cosmic energy]]. |
| 698 | * DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:He is killed by Thena at the end of ''Film/{{Eternals}}'', while his comic book counterpart is still very much alive and well.]] |
| 699 | * DiagonalCut: [[spoiler:When Kro is about to consume Thena's life force, she creates two energy blades and slices Kro in multiple cuts. There's a shot of his face before the top half slides off, and the rest of him collapses in large chunks.]] |
| 700 | * DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:In the climax, Kro takes advantage of Thena's Mahd Wy'ry attack to imitate Gilgamesh so that she'll calm down and he can roll her up in his tentacles to absorb her powers. However, hearing Gilgamesh's voice makes Thena suddenly remember the last thing he said to her before his death, allowing her to snap out of it and create two energy blades to slice Kro into pieces. Kro clearly wasn't expecting this and has a confused look on his face as he dies.]] |
| 701 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Kro initially seems to be the main threat of the film as the one responsible for killing Ajak. He's quickly sidelined [[spoiler:by the reveal of Arishem's true plans for Earth and the revelation that Ikaris fed Ajak to him]], but nevertheless returns in the climax to try and exact revenge. |
| 702 | * DismembermentIsCheap: His right arm gets torn off by a punch from Gilgamesh during their fight in the Amazon, but he quickly regenerates it with the HealingHands power [[spoiler:he stole from Ajak]]. |
| 703 | * EatBrainForMemories: [[spoiler:A variation. Each time Kro absorbs the life of an Eternal, he gains all their memories. Once he becomes able to speak, he declares that he has access to Ajak's memory and knows all the planets that the Eternals helped to destroy while serving the Celestials.]] |
| 704 | * EnemyRisingBehind: When Thena goes looking for him in the cave, Kro silently rises behind her and prepares to hit her in the back, but she manages to react in time. |
| 705 | * EnergyAbsorption: [[spoiler:His unique power as a Deviant is to steal cosmic energy from Eternals using his tentacles. Sapping their energy evolves Kro to become more and more intelligent and human-like, as well as granting him his victim's powers]]. |
| 706 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Even though he and his Deviants pack have no qualms about killing several innocent people, [[spoiler:Kro still calls out the Eternals for helping the Celestials destroy many planets and cause billions of deaths]]. |
| 707 | * EvilIsBigger: Kro was already quite large when he was a beast-like Deviant, [[spoiler:and even after evolving into a human-like being he still towers over the Eternals]]. |
| 708 | * EvilSoundsDeep: [[spoiler:Once he has evolved into a humanoid being, Kro speaks with a fairly deep voice.]] |
| 709 | * EvilVersusEvil: [[spoiler:When he shows up during the final battle, Kro starts by attacking Ikaris, who has been established as a villain by this point. Unfortunately, the other Eternals can't let their two enemies fight each others because Kro will become unstoppable if he manages to absorb Ikaris's powers.]] |
| 710 | * ExtraEyes: This version of Kro has four eyes, perhaps to give him a more monstrous and intimidating appearance. |
| 711 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:His death is quite brutal by MCU villain standards, as he gets ''sliced up into pieces by Thena's energy blades''. If Kro had regular human blood, the movie would probably have received a different rating...]] |
| 712 | * FangsAreEvil: In his original bestial form, Kro had long and sharp fangs, [[spoiler:but they become shorter and more human-like teeth each time he absorbs the energy of an Eternal and has his body evolve]]. |
| 713 | * FourFingeredHands: [[spoiler:Kro starts off with three fingers, but a fourth finger grows on both of his hands after he absorbs Gilgamesh's power and gains a human-like appearance.]] |
| 714 | * FrameUp: [[spoiler:Played With. Although Kro did indeed kill Ajak, it was actually Ikaris who threw her to him so that he'd kill her, and then he brought her corpse back to her house to make the other Eternals think that Kro had attacked her there on his own.]] |
| 715 | * FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: [[spoiler:Kro initially had the appearance of a beast-like Deviant moving on all fours, but after absorbing the life forces of two Eternals he becomes more humanoid and ends up walking on two legs.]] |
| 716 | * FullFrontalAssault: Kro never wears clothes at any point during the movie, [[spoiler:not even after having evolved into a more human-like body]]. Nevertheless, he still spends each of his scenes relentlessly attacking the Eternals. |
| 717 | * GiantSwimmer: Downplayed, but he first appears as a rather large Deviant swimming in a river in London. |
| 718 | * GoodThingYouCanHeal: [[spoiler:It was certainly fortunate for Kro that the first power he stole was Ajak's HealingHands, because he keeps suffering all kinds of injuries during his fights against the Eternals throughout the movie. He gets both arms wounded by Ikaris' eye beams in London, has his jaw broken and loses an arm during his fight against Gilgamesh in the Amazon, and is stabbed several times by Thena's energy blades in the final battle.]] |
| 719 | * GottaKillThemAll: [[spoiler:Kro's main goal is to kill each of the Eternals one by one to absorb their powers and get revenge for all the Deviants that they killed. He manages to kill two of them during the film, but he ultimately dies while trying to kill a third one.]] |
| 720 | * GreenAndMean: He's a murderous Deviant with emerald green skin, [[spoiler:and he also becomes capable of projecting a green exoskeleton of cosmic energy around his arms and legs after stealing Gilgamesh's power]]. |
| 721 | * GroundShatteringLanding: At one point during the fight in London, Kro climbs on buildings and then jumps on the ground near Ikaris to attack him, causing some cracks to appear on the pavement because of his weight. |
| 722 | * HealingHands: Is capable of healing himself rapidly using cosmic energy, which the Eternals note is similar to Ajak's healing abilities. [[spoiler:He took this ability from her after he killed her and absorbed her energy]]. |
| 723 | * TheHeavy: He serves as the main villain for the majority of the film [[spoiler:as Ikaris doesn't turn against the other Eternals until the last third. And even when Ikaris takes over as the true BigBad, Kro remains a serious threat causing problems for the heroes as well.]] |
| 724 | * HelpImStuck: When Kro arrives in London to attack the Eternals there, Sersi uses her power to turn the ground beneath him into quicksand and then resolidify it. With Kro being momentarily trapped, Sersi, Sprite and Dane Whitman take the opportunity to run away from him, but he eventually manages to break free. |
| 725 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:In the millions of years that this particular group of Eternals has been active, their only deaths happen that week because Kro kills Ajak and Gilgamesh]]. |
| 726 | * HoldingHands: [[spoiler:While impersonating Gilgamesh towards Thena during her Mahd Wy'ry episode in the cave, Kro takes her hand in the same way that Gilgamesh did to calm her down.]] |
| 727 | * HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:He starts out as an AnimalisticAbomination like most of the Deviants, but after absorbing the cosmic energy of Gilgamesh his body evolves to become more humanoid while still retaining a monstrous appearance.]] |
| 728 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Although he does have a point, Kro still isn't exactly the best person to accuse the Eternals of being nothing but a bunch of murderers, considering that he himself belongs to a race of monstrous killing-machines that does nothing but kill every living being they come across. |
| 729 | * IllKillYou: [[spoiler:After absorbing the life force of Gilgamesh and evolving into a more humanoid form, Kro promises Thena that he'll avenge the death of his fellow Deviants by killing all the remaining Eternals.]] |
| 730 | -->'''Kro:''' I will kill you all for what you have done to my kind! |
| 731 | * ImprovisedWeapon: During his fight against Gilgamesh in the Amazon, Kro uses his tentacles to grab tree stumps and hit him with them. |
| 732 | * InexplicablyAwesome: [[spoiler:It's never truly made clear how Kro is able to absorb the Eternals' powers, as the Eternals note that none of the other Deviants they've faced before have ever displayed such an ability.]] |
| 733 | * ItCanThink: At the beginning of the film, the bestial Kro distinguishes himself from other Deviants by possessing the ability to speak broken words, act intelligently, and heal himself - qualities no other Deviant has ever displayed. [[spoiler:He gained these powers from killing Ajak, and only gets more intelligent after killing Gilgamesh]]. |
| 734 | * KickTheDog: [[spoiler:In the final battle, Kro deliberately provokes Thena by showing her that he has successfully absorbed Gilgamesh's power, and later he tries to break her psychologically in the cave by calling her "damaged" and "useless", and then by telling her that she can't protect any of her friends.]] |
| 735 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: |
| 736 | ** After being injured by Ikaris in London, Kro realizes that he can't win this fight and dives into a river to get away. |
| 737 | ** Likewise during the Amazon battle, he also decides to run away when Ikaris attacks him [[spoiler:after he killed Gilgamesh]]. |
| 738 | * LargeAndInCharge: Before [[spoiler:absorbing Gilgamesh's powers and having his body turn more human-like]], Kro was the biggest Deviant among his pack and acted as the clear leader. |
| 739 | * LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler:At the end of the film, Thena manages to kill Kro by slicing his body up into several pieces with her energy blades.]] |
| 740 | * ManBitesMan: Or rather Deviant Bites Eternal in this case, but after stabbing Gilgamesh with his tentacles, Kro bites his shoulder to restrain him [[spoiler:while he absorbs his life force]]. |
| 741 | * ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:During his fight against Thena in the climax, Kro imitates her late partner Gilgamesh's voice in order to trigger her Mahd Wy'ry and convince her to lower her guard so that he can consume her energy more easily.]] |
| 742 | * MotiveRant: [[spoiler:After absorbing Gilgamesh's life force and gaining the ability to speak, Kro gives a lengthy explanation to Thena about his reasons for wanting to get revenge on the Eternals and the Celestials instead of attacking her.]] |
| 743 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Kro doesn't play around when he goes after the Eternals. He usually prefers to attack his enemies by surprise, [[spoiler:and rarely bothers to talk to them even after gaining the ability to speak]]. |
| 744 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler:While he's about to absorb Thena's life force, Kro points out that Eternals and Deviants are actually very similar, as both are children of Arishem and tools of a god.]] |
| 745 | -->'''Kro:''' [[spoiler:''[To Thena]'' You and I, we're just tools of a god, built to kill.]] |
| 746 | * ObviousVillainSecretVillain: [[spoiler:Kro serves as the Obvious Villain for the majority of the film, while [[BigBadFriend Ikaris]] is the Secret Villain who doesn't reveal his true colors until the third act.]] |
| 747 | * PainfulTransformation: [[spoiler:Every time he absorbs the life force of an Eternal, his body contorts all over to take on a more humanoid form, which seems to be a very unpleasant thing to endure.]] |
| 748 | * {{Phlegmings}}: In his beast-like appearance, he often has visible drool in his mouth when he roars. |
| 749 | * PowerFist: [[spoiler:Due to having absorbed Gilgamesh's power, Kro has become capable of covering his fist with cosmic energy to enhance his punches.]] |
| 750 | * PowerGlows: [[spoiler:Kro's tentacles start glowing when he uses them to absorb the power of an Eternal or to transmit a power to other Deviants.]] |
| 751 | * PowerParasite: [[spoiler:Kro has the ability to sap the cosmic energy giving the Eternals life with his tentacles to empower and evolve himself, which he uses to steal Ajak and Gilgamesh's powers]]. |
| 752 | * PromotedToLoveInterest: Inverted: Kro has a long-standing on-and-off relationship with Thena in the comics, with the two even having two children together. In the MCU, Kro and Thena have nothing but hatred for each other, [[spoiler:and Thena ends up killing Kro herself]]. |
| 753 | * PunchedAcrossTheRoom: |
| 754 | ** Kro gets punched several meters away twice during his fight against Gilgamesh, the first time he gets his jaw broken, the second time he loses an arm. |
| 755 | ** During the final battle, Kro himself punches Thena several meters across the cave at one point [[spoiler:by using the power of Gilgamesh]]. |
| 756 | * RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:Kro's hatred towards the Eternals is so intense that he continues to attack them during the climax, even though they're trying to prevent the birth of the Celestial Tiamut which would destroy the entire planet and kill all the people on it, including Kro himself.]] |
| 757 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:As he explains to Thena, the reason he's chasing the Eternals all over the world to kill them is because he wants to get revenge for all the Deviants they killed.]] |
| 758 | * SelfRecoverySurprise: In London, Ikaris saves Sersi and Sprite from Kro's attack and severely injures him with his eye beams. However, Kro then turns out to possess HealingHands powers and quickly regenerates his wounds, much to the surprise of the three Eternals who have never seen a Deviant capable of doing this before. |
| 759 | * SerkisFolk: [[spoiler:In his humanoid form, Kro is a fully CGI character who's performance captured by Arie Dekker and voiced by Creator/BillSkarsgard.]] |
| 760 | * ShapeshiftingSeducer: [[spoiler:A variant. When Thena is affected by Mahd Wy'ry during their fight in the cave, Kro pretends to be Gilgamesh by imitating his voice to make her lower her guard so he can get close enough to absorb her life force.]] |
| 761 | * ShockwaveStomp: During the final battle, Makkari tries to run in circle around Kro with her SuperSpeed to disorient him, but Kro hits the ground with his cosmic energy-enhanced foot which causes a powerful shockwave that sends her and the other Eternals flying. |
| 762 | * SoleSurvivor: He and his pack were already the only Deviants to have escaped extermination by the Eternals, but Kro later becomes the only Deviant to survive the battle in the Amazon as well, making him the last surviving member of his race [[spoiler:until his own death at the end of the film]]. |
| 763 | * SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:During the final battle, Kro arrives unexpectedly and tries once again to kill all the Eternals, which causes problems for both the Eternals' plan to use the Uni-Mind to put the soon-to-be-born Celestial Tiamut to sleep, and Ikaris' plan to protect Tiamut by stopping the Eternals' efforts and ensure that the Convergence does happen.]] |
| 764 | * SpotTheImposter: When Kro goes after Sprite and Sersi in London, Sprite tries to hide from him by creating a crowd of illusory duplicates of herself and Sersi. Kro is confused at first, but he's eventually able to sense the real Sprite and attacks her with his tentacles. |
| 765 | * SuddenlySpeaking: [[spoiler:For the first half of the film, Kro doesn't seem to be able to speak and only growls like a wild beast. But once he absorbs Gilgamesh's powers, he becomes capable of speaking fluent English.]] |
| 766 | * SuperEmpowering: [[spoiler:In addition to being capable of absorbing the powers of the Eternals he kills for himself, Kro can also share them with his fellow Deviants, which is what he does with his pack after absorbing Ajak's.]] |
| 767 | * SuperheroMovieVillainsDie: [[spoiler:Kro gets killed during his fight with Thena at the end of the film.]] |
| 768 | * SuperNotDrowningSkills: Kro seems to be a pretty good swimmer. On his first appearance, he's swimming across a river in London to find Sersi and Sprite. During the climax, he even manages to swim to the island where the Emergence of Tiamut is taking place. |
| 769 | * SuperPersistentPredator: He's determined to find and kill the Eternals, following them to London, the Amazon rainforest, and finally an island in the Indian Ocean. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that he's doing this to get revenge for the other Deviants the Eternals killed]]. |
| 770 | * SuperStrength: [[spoiler:Kro was already extremely strong even for a Deviant, but after absorbing the power of Gilgamesh he becomes capable of projecting cosmic energy around his fists and legs to enhance his blows just like him.]] |
| 771 | * TentacledTerror: [[spoiler:Kro has lots of tentacles in all three of his forms, which contribute to his monstrous appearance.]] |
| 772 | * TentacleRope: When he's not stabbing his enemies with them, Kro occasionally uses his tentacles to bind them. |
| 773 | ** [[spoiler:During his attack on Ajak, Kro wraps a few of his tentacles around her body and limbs to lift her up and bring her closer to him.]] |
| 774 | ** [[spoiler:After subduing a Mahd Wy'ry-affected Thena in the cave, Kro uses his tentacles to tie her hands while he tries to absorb her power, but she manages to regain her senses in time and creates energy blades to slice them off.]] |
| 775 | * TookALevelInBadass: Kro starts out as a pretty strong Deviant, but he grows more and more powerful [[spoiler:each time he absorbs the power of an Eternal]] over the course of the film. By the time of the final battle, Kro has become powerful enough to give some serious trouble to [[FlyingBrick Ikaris]], [[{{Technopath}} Phastos]], [[SuperSpeed Makkari]] and [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation Thena]] combined by himself. |
| 776 | * TopHeavyGuy: At first, Kro has rather small and skinny legs compared to his large arms and torso. [[spoiler:He gets more normal proportions after absorbing Gilgamesh's life force and evolving into a human-like form.]] |
| 777 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:To ensure that other Eternals won't do anything to prevent the birth of Tiamut, Ikaris has Kro and his pack kill Ajak and lets them roam free on Earth to make them look like the greatest threat, hoping that they'll keep the Eternals busy until the Emergence occurs.]] |
| 778 | * VillainyFreeVillain: [[spoiler:He never actually goes after any innocents after achieving sentience, something actually noted, only targeting the Eternals (who from his perspective are the villains of the story). Ultimately his actions would have doomed the planet, but he's likely unaware of this and there was, unfortunately, no real opportunity to convince him]]. |
| 779 | * VoiceChangeling: [[spoiler:Kro is apparently able to copy the voice of the Eternals whose life force he has absorbed, as seen in the climax when he imitates the voice of Gilgamesh to trick a Mahd Wy'ry-affected Thena into lowering her guard.]] |
| 780 | * WallCrawl: He is capable of climbing on walls, as shown where he climbs on the facade of some buildings during his fight against Ikaris in London. |
| 781 | * WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:A rare villain-to-hero example, but one of the first things Kro does after becoming capable of speaking is to call out the Eternals for having helped the Celestials destroy several planets and cause countless deaths in the past, accusing them of being murderers rather than saviors.]] |
| 782 | * WhooshInFrontOfTheCamera: After Thena has entered the cave looking for Kro, he can quickly be seen running stealthily in front of the camera while she has her back turned. |
| 783 | * WouldHitAGirl: He is perfectly willing to kill the Eternal women, having successfully killed [[spoiler:Ajak to absorb her powers]] and later trying to do the same to Sersi, Sprite, Thena and Makkari. |
| 784 | * WouldHurtAChild: Or at least, he's willing to attack a 7,000-year-old Eternals with the appearance of a child such as Sprite. |
| 785 | * WouldNotShootACivilian / NeverHurtAnInnocent: After Kro's attack in London, Sersi and Sprite realize that unlike the other Deviants they've faced in the past, this one wasn't interested in harming the human bystanders and was only focused on them. |
| 786 | * YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler:When Kro arrives to fight the Eternals in the climax, Phastos declares that he mustn't absorb more powers or he'll become unstoppable, but Kro points out that it's too late as he already possesses the powers of [[SuperStrength Gilgamesh]] in addition to that of [[HealingFactor Ajak]].]] |
| 787 | -->'''Phastos:''' [[spoiler:We can't let it absorb our powers.]]\ |
| 788 | '''Kro:''' [[spoiler:[[YouAreTooLate Too late!]]]] |
| 789 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: [[spoiler:Even after evolving into a more humanoid being, the MCU Kro still looks very different from the Kro from the comics, who has pink skin, pointed ears, a small black beard and only two eyes.]] |
| 790 | * YouKilledMyFather: All the Eternals hate him with passion for killing two of their own, but Thena in particular wants to kill him to avenge the death of [[spoiler:her partner Gilgamesh]]. |
| 791 | ** [[spoiler:For his part, Kro hates them just as much for having killed a large number of his fellow Deviants and wants to kill them all for this.]] |

| 798 | |
| 799 | A Deviant that fought the Eternals in Babylon in 575 B.C. |
| 800 | ---- |
| 801 | * AdaptationalBadass: A minor example, but Gilgamesh was able to defeat Enkidu on his own in the comics, whereas in the MCU he needed the assistance of the other Eternals to get the better of him. |
| 802 | * AdaptationalSkimpiness: The Enkidu from the comics wasn't wearing much either, but he at least had a pair of pants. In the MCU, Enkidu is a wild beast that goes around completely naked. |
| 803 | * AdaptationalUgliness: While not exactly handsome in the comics, having the appearance of a horned BeastMan with red skin and pointy ears, Enkidu was at least a humanoid being. In the MCU, he looks like a monstrous bovine creature the size of a house. |
| 804 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Enkidu was Gilgamesh's best friend in the comics as per the original epic. In the MCU he's just another monstrous Deviant. |
| 805 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Although Enkidu and Gilgamesh started out as enemies who fought each other on their first meeting, they ended up becoming fast friends and went on many adventures together in the comics. In the MCU, they never get past the point of being enemies since Enkidu dies during their fight. |

| 810 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: The MCU Enkidu is killed by Gilgamesh during their confrontation, whereas his comics counterpart actually survived their fight and only died much later. |

| 812 | * HornAttack: He tries to ram Gilgamesh with his horns like a raging bull. |
| 813 | * HornsOfVillainy: He has a pair of huge horns and is a particularly brutal Deviant. |
| 814 | * InNameOnly: Has nothing to do with the mythological Enkidu outside of the name. |
| 815 | * NotQuiteDead: After punching Enkidu into the walls of Babylon, Gilgamesh assumes he must be dead and starts to walk away. However, the still living Enkidu then gets up and tries one last attack, fortunately Gilgamesh hears him and manages to punch him dead for good this time. |
| 816 | * PosthumousCharacter: He was killed by the Eternals in 575 B.C. and only appears during a flashback. |
| 817 | * RoarBeforeBeating: He makes a brief pause to roar at Gilgamesh before charging at him. |

| 829 | * BewareMyStingerTail: One of the Deviants involved in the Amazon ambush has a spike at the end of its tail, which it uses to stab a villager, break the walls of some houses, kick away Sersi and the villagers mind-controlled by Druig, and finally to stab Ikaris. A flashback later shows that the Deviant grew this tail upon receiving the power of Ajak. |
| 830 | * ClipItsWings: While chasing a flying Deviant in the Amazon, Ikaris fires his eye beams to slice off one of its wings before grabbing its other wing and forcing it onto the ground. |

| 832 | * DisneyVillainDeath: When the Eternals fight some Deviants in Mesopotamia during the opening scene, Kingo and Makkari manage to defeat a large Deviant by using their respective powers to push it off a cliff, causing it to fall on its back and die on impact. |
| 833 | * FeatheredFiend: [[spoiler:As shown in Arishem's vision, the first Deviants who attacked the apex predators of some alien planet mostly looked like birds of prey. A few of the Earth Deviants also have a bird-like appearance, with one of the Deviants from Kro's pack turning into a vulture-like creature after receiving Ajak's power.]] |

| 839 | * LastBreathBullet: After Ikaris has fired his eye beams into its mouth, a dying Deviant uses its last bit of strength to stab him with its stinger before expiring, though it's not enough to kill him. |
| 840 | * MomentKiller: Just as Sersi and Ikaris are reminiscing about their past relationship at Druig's compound and Ikaris is about to reveal to Sersi why he left her, a flying Deviant suddenly appears and snatch him without warning. |
| 841 | * MonsterMouth: One of the Deviants encountered by the Eternals in the Amazon has [[Franchise/{{Predator}} Yautja]]-like mandibles for a mouth. |

| 844 | * SpiderLimbs: During the Battle of Babylon, a Deviant with spider-like legs attacks a young girl, but Ikaris intervenes and cuts off its legs with his eye beams. |

| 847 | * YourHeadASplode: During the fight in the Amazon, Kingo kills one of the Deviants by charging up a blast and then blowing its head off, causing Kingo to get splattered with goop. |

| 874 | The leader of a horde of Booskan marauders. |
| 875 | ---- |
| 876 | * AxCrazy: He is shown laughing like a maniac while shooting at his enemies. |
| 877 | * CanonForeigner: He doesn't seem to be based on any character from the comics. |
| 878 | * DisneyVillainDeath: Thor causes him to fall from the top of the Sacred Temple, presumably to his death. |
| 879 | * ALizardNamedLiz: Or in his case, a Booskan named "Habooska". |
| 880 | * NomDeGuerre: From what is shown in the credits, he is known as Habooska "The Horrible". |
| 881 | * StarterVillain: He serves as the villain for the opening battle scene on Indigarr, but he quickly gets killed and is never mentioned afterwards. |
| 882 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: He's killed by Thor at the end of his first and only scene. |

| 891 | A horde of Booskan marauders led by Habooska The Horrible. |
| 892 | ---- |
| 893 | * CurbStompBattle: While they don't do too bad of a job against the Guardians of the Galaxy, once Thor joins the battle they are easily decimated in less than two minutes. |
| 894 | * ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: None of them manage to hit any of the heroes with their shots. |
| 895 | * {{Mooks}}: They serve as [[StarterVillain Habooska]]'s army of evil henchmen who get killed in large numbers by the Guardians of the Galaxy and ''especially'' by Thor. |
| 896 | * OhCrap: One of them squawks in terror when he sees Thor jumping at him to strike him with Stormbreaker. |
| 897 | * RayGun: Most of them use some laser guns, with Habooska even having a huge laser cannon. |
| 898 | * RapePillageAndBurn: They take advantage of the death of the gods of Indigarr to pillage the now defenseless planet. |
| 899 | * WatchWhereYoureGoing: At one point, two Booskan vehicles charge at Thor from two opposite sides, but he manages to stop them both with his legs. They try to increase their speed, and Thor sends them crashing into each other. |
| 900 | * WouldHitAGirl: They don't seem too bothered about having to shoot at Nebula or Mantis during the battle of Indigarr. |

| 913 | * EvilInc: Orgocorp's end goal isn't too bad on its own, but the corporation is willing to conduct horrific experiments, commit genocide, and trample over human rights to see it through. |

| 930 | A scientist working under the High Evolutionary. |
| 931 | ---- |
| 932 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He was one of the scientists who directly performed the horrific operation to turn Rocket into an UpliftedAnimal and he shows a stunning lack of remorse about it, so it's difficult to feel bad when Quill coldly murders him.]] |
| 933 | * BaldOfEvil: He's bald and not only is he fully complicit in the High Evolutionary's crimes, he takes quite a lot of joy in tormenting his victims. |
| 934 | * {{Cyborg}}: He has cybernetic implants in his head that help him keep track of data from prior experiments. |
| 935 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:As loathsome as he was, dying by being dragged across the ground at high speeds to cushion a fall from the atmosphere can't have been pleasant.]] |
| 936 | * DirtyCoward: He acts smug whenever he has the upper hand, but the second Quill has him at gunpoint Theel pathetically begs for his life. |
| 937 | * DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:A variation. When Peter tackles him out the window of the High Evolutionary's base from hundreds of feet in the ground, it seems this alone will kill him. However, as part of Peter's escape attempt, Groot forms wooden "wings" that allows them to glide to soften the fall, but the impact is still hard enough that Peter uses Theel as a human shield to cushion the fall.]] |
| 938 | * FatBastard: He’s chubby and just as cruel as his boss. |
| 939 | * HateSink: While not as vile as his master, Theel is still a cowardly, abusive scumbag who experiments on and tortures sapient beings without an ounce of remorse, [[spoiler:and Quill goes out of his way to make him ''[[AssholeVictim suffer]]'' for it.]] |
| 940 | * HumanShield: An unusual example. Rather than absorbing bullets, Theel's body is used by Quill to protect himself from hitting Counter-Earth's surface too hard. |
| 941 | * {{Jerkass}}: While most of the High Evolutionary's henchmen come off as at least genuinely well-intentioned or reasonable, Theel is a smug, little sadist who enjoys tormenting the High Evolutionary's experiments. He also performed the surgery to turn Rocket into an UpliftedAnimal without anesthetic, even pinning him down at one point. |
| 942 | * KarmicDeath: While serving The High Evolutionary, Theel took sadistic glee with experimenting on Rocket and other Earth animals in unnecessarily cruel ways to draw out their pain and suffering. So it's only fitting that Star-Lord and Groot subject him to a particularly brutal death by using him as a HumanShield to survive hitting Counter-Earth's surface from a high altitude, all as he's screaming in terror. |
| 943 | * MadScientist: He's a scientist serving the High Evolutionary in his goal to create a perfect society no matter how many creations they need to go through, and he's a cruel, repulsive bastard who took sadistic joy operating on Rocket without anesthetics. |
| 944 | * PetTheDog: He has ''one'' moment of decency when he bumps into Quill in a hallway and apologizes. |
| 945 | * RasputinianDeath: [[spoiler:Theel dies either from the impact with the ground, from Peter repeatedly slamming him into the ground as they land, from being dragged along as an "anchor" to slow down Peter and Groot, from drowning as Peter holds his body underwater, from having his brain implant removed, or finally, if he somehow survived all that, from Counter-Earth's destruction immediately after.]] |
| 946 | * SmugSnake: When Quill and Groot seem helpless and defeated, he laughs about how seemingly helpless they are and asks Quill how stupid he is for falling right into the High Evolutionary’s trap. |
| 947 | * UndyingLoyalty: Despite being apprehensive sadistic and cowardly, there is nothing to suggest that his service to the High Evolutionary |
| 948 | * VillainsWantMercy: When Peter has a gun pointed straight at him, Theel becomes [[DirtyCoward a sniveling wreck]] begging to be spared. |

| 959 | A scientist working for the High Evolutionary. |
| 960 | ---- |
| 961 | * AssholeVictim: Downplayed compared to Theel and the High Evolutionary, but still present. While she's more sane and reasonable than many of the High Evolutionary's lackeys, she's still wholly complicit in his crimes against humanity and seemed to do very little - if anything - to stop or diminish the cruelty of her master and expresses no real remorse for the terrible things she's allowed or played a part in over the years. [[spoiler:So when she's vapourized by the High Evolutionary when she tries to mutiny (which was merely done to save herself and the rest of the crew rather than any case of atonement), it's hard to really feel sorry for her, and it's not like Quill would've spared her since he didn't do so to Theel.]] |
| 962 | * BaldOfEvil: She's bald and complicit in the High Evolutionary's crimes. |
| 963 | * {{Cyborg}}: She has cybernetic implants in her head for the sake of keeping track of data from prior experiments. |
| 964 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Vim is horrified when the High Evolutionary releases the Hellspawn to slaughter everyone in Knowhere, stating that they were meant for defending the future colony. And once she realizes that the High Evolutionary's obsession with Rocket has gone ''way'' too far, she turns on him and attempts to retreat rather than continue the pointless devastation. |
| 965 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: She quickly realizes that the High Evolutionary's obsession with Rocket is more trouble than it's worth and that it would be best to cut their losses and continue with the mission. [[spoiler:When the High Evolutionary refuses to back down, she finally stages a mutiny against him.]] |
| 966 | * MookFaceTurn: [[spoiler:When it becomes clear the High Evolutionary is willing to risk their ship's destruction for the sake of capturing Rocket, Vim leads a mutiny against him so they can flee the battle with Knowhere.]] |
| 967 | * TheMutiny: [[spoiler:She tries to pull one on her boss when she realizes his obsession will get them all killed. She draws her gun on him, leading the rest of the bridge crew to do the same. The High Evolutionary uses his powers to kill them all in response.]] |
| 968 | * OnlySaneWoman: While her colleague Theel is a smug, sadistic jerk and her superior, the High Evolutionary is a narcissistic ControlFreak [[spoiler:who grows increasingly insane]], Vim tries to keep the High Evolutionary focused on their stated goal of traveling to a new colony, only for her boss to continually shout her down. [[spoiler:When it's clear the High Evolutionary's obsession with capturing and killing Rocket will get everyone killed, she leads a mutiny and is killed as a result.]] |
| 969 | * PragmaticVillainy: Despite being complicit in the High Evolutionary's various atrocities, Vim is notably much saner than her boss. [[spoiler:When his obsession with Rocket's capture takes precedence over their ship being on fire and confronted by Knowhere, Vim leads a mutiny against the High Evolutionary for the sake of their own survival.]] |
| 970 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:The High Evolutionary incinerates her in the spot for turning on him.]] |

| 981 | The leader of the orgosentries aboard the Orgoscope. |
| 982 | ---- |
| 983 | * AffablyEvil: He's an amiable, blue-collar guy who just so happens to work as a guard for a madman with a god complex. |
| 984 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He's an AffablyEvil PunchClockVillain chiefly characterised by a JerkassToOne RunningGag, and his team's OrganicTechnology PoweredArmour looks absolutely ridiculous, but he's a genuinely dangerous fighter, severely wounding Drax with a {{BFG}} and forcing the Guardians into a tense stand-off before they eventually take him down by talking one of his subordinates into a MookFaceTurn. |
| 985 | * {{BFG}}: One of the advantages of his PoweredArmour is that he can heft some absolutely gigantic weapons, including a sleek cannon capable of taking down Drax. |
| 986 | * HumanAliens: Karja is unlikely to be from Earth, but he looks just as human as Quill. |
| 987 | * JerkassToOne: He treats most of his subordinates well enough, but the one that Karja considers an idiot never hears the end of it, either to his face or with Karja complaining about him to others. |
| 988 | * MookLieutenant: He serves as the leader of the Orgosentries. |
| 989 | * NotWorthKilling: He's a not-particularly-unpleasant PunchClockVillain who's easier to incapacitate than kill, and so that's all that the Guardians do to him and his men, leaving them to float helplessly in their disabled suits while they make their escape with the data they raided his space station for. The implication is that their co-workers rescued them shortly afterwards. |
| 990 | * PoweredArmour: He and his security team wear a comically grotesque OrganicTechnology version - giant puffy suits of living muscle that have various weapons and gadgets built into them as cyborg implants. |
| 991 | * PunchClockVillain: Karja clearly doesn't actually believe in the High Evolutionary's grandiose plans and ideals; he just wants to get paid and only opposes the Guardians because it's his job. |
