| 36 | |
| 37 | An Algerian pirate who was a former French Intelligence agent before going rogue. His crew hijacks a S.H.I.E.L.D ship, the ''Lemurian Star'', and thus become targets of STRIKE and Captain America. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Ten years after the events of ''The Winter Soldier'', he would cross paths with Sam Wilson, Captain America's successor. |
| 40 | ---- |
| 41 | * AdaptationalBadass: Batroc's considered something of a joke in the comics, although occasionally he proves to be a NotSoHarmlessVillain. Here he's able to put up a fair fight against one of the world's best super soldiers, and proves to be a better fighter than even some enhanced humans. |
| 42 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Batroc in the comics is essentially a thief at best, and he has a strong code of honor that includes not harming innocent people. Here, he's a pirate leader fully willing to kill hostages and raid boats and airplanes. |
| 43 | * AdaptationalSeriousness: In the comics, Batroc is mostly portrayed as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain with a colourful costume and a silly accent who isn't taken too serious by his opponents. The MCU portrays him as a straight terrorist without the comical elements of his comic book counterpart. |
| 44 | * AlternateSelf: Batroc has one on Earth-82111. |
| 45 | * ArchEnemy: He devlops a personal hatred on Sam Wilson during the premiere episode of ''The Falcon And The Winter Soldier'', demanding to be the one killing the Falcon in the series finale. It seems to be pretty one-sided. |
| 46 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Gets shot in the head in the series finale of ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier''. Nobody is gonna miss him, that’s for sure.]] |
| 47 | * BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:His reappearance in the prime timeline of the MCU has him meet his end at the hands of the Power Broker, though he does manage to make one hell of a final impression before he goes.]] |
| 48 | * BadassNormal: He's able to put up an impressive fight against Captain America and later an upgraded Falcon, and he manages it using only his own personal skills, without any superhuman enhancements or even the special equipment other BadassNormal [=MCU=] characters like Falcon, Hawkeye, Black Widow, or Crossbones use. |
| 49 | ** He's the first non-enhanced human in the [=MCU=] to be able to put up a decent fight against Captain America in hand-to-hand combat, and later manages to make an escape from Cap and Natasha make his way off the ''Lemurian Star'' despite being in the middle of the Indian Ocean. |
| 50 | ** 10 years later, he manages to stun Falcon with a flurry of kicks, lead him on an ''insane'' glider chase through the sky (when he and his men only have the real world wing suits vs Sam’s hi-tech wings), almost get into Libyan airspace, and perhaps most impressively of all, ''survive'' when the entirety of his crew dies. |
| 51 | ** During the climactic attack on the [=GRC=], Batroc manages to give Sam more trouble than any of the Flag Smashers ever had before 1v1 (other than Karli herself), despite lacking the super serum or even Sam's vibranium shield and Wakandan-enhanced suit. |
| 52 | * BeardOfEvil: Batroc sports a goatee and mustache, though it's nowhere near as pronounced as his comic book DastardlyWhiplash mustache. |
| 53 | * BloodKnight: After he lost his ship and his crew, he went back just to fight Captain America. Even more so in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', where he gets so pissed off at the Falcon botching his air raid that he pulls a VillainTeamUp with the Flag-Smashers just so he can get a shot at revenge. |
| 54 | * BullyingADragon: [[spoiler:What his attempted blackmail of [[DiabolicalMastermind Sharon Carter]] [[DeathBySecretIdentity turned out to be]].]] |
| 55 | * TheBusCameBack: About a decade after being stopped by Captain America, he reappears in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier''. [[spoiler:And it would be ultimately be his last appearance in the MCU, [[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 at least in the prime timeline.]]]] |
| 56 | * ChallengeSeeker: Has some strong elements of this, given that he neglected an opportunity to escape for the sake of throwing down with Captain America, then later neglects an opportunity to [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim kill the stunned Falcon]] before beginning their glide-suit chase through the sky. His frequent use of a GrinOfAudacity when taking on superheroes on what amounts to their own terms implies that’s the attraction to him. In ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'''s fifth episode, he forms a VillainTeamUp with the Flag-Smashers primarily because he wants the luxury of facing the Falcon again. |
| 57 | * CharacterTic: He thumps himself on the chest with his fist mid-fight. |
| 58 | * CivvieSpandex: For ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', He sports a purple jacket and orange shirt resembling his comic costume. |
| 59 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Referred to by his real name rather than his alias from the comics, "Batroc the Leaper". |
| 60 | * ConservationOfNinjutsu: Every fight with the guards on the ship was a CurbStompBattle by Cap. Only when he gets to the last guy, their leader Batroc, does he find himself a challenge. |
| 61 | * DeathBySecretIdentity: [[spoiler:Batroc is one of two people to discover who the Power Broker really is in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', the other being Karli Morgenthau. Fittingly, both are killed by her by the end of the series.]] |
| 62 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Trying to blackmail Sharon Carter, a formidable crime boss and former CIA agent, wasn't one of Batroc's brighter ideas.]] |
| 63 | * TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Sharon Carter, until she kills him when he attempts to expose her Power Broker alias to the world.]] |
| 64 | * ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Batroc was ex-DGSE, with over 36 kill missions, before his commanding officers axed his career. He's also been issued a Red Notice by Interpol.[[note]][[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpol_notice More or less an international arrest warrant.]][[/note]] |
| 65 | * FrenchJerk: French-Algerian, to be more specific, and is quite conceited and bloodthirsty. |
| 66 | * GratuitousFrench: Batroc primarily speaks French in all of his appearances, only briefly switching to English in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'' to express his desire to kill Sam Wilson. |
| 67 | * {{Greed}}: [[spoiler:He tries to blackmail the Power Broker to pay him four times as much in exchange for keeping their identity a secret. [[KilledOffForReal It doesn’t go as planned]].]] |
| 68 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:He gets offed during the series finale of ''Falcon and the Winter Soldier'' after he finds out that Sharon Carter is the Power Broker.]] |
| 69 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Unlike his comic book counterpart, he doesn't wear a helmet and even goads Steve Rogers into removing his own. |
| 70 | * IKnowKarate: He practices savate, a French martial arts with lots of jumping kicks. In the comics, this is where he gets his full name "Batroc the Leaper". In ''The Winter Soldier'', however, his style resembles more UsefulNotes/{{Capoeira}}. In ''The Falcon and The Winter Soldier'', his fighting style is more akin to St-Pierre's regular style of mixed martial arts, including muscling Sam around with a freestyle wrestling double-leg takedown. |
| 71 | * ItsPersonal: After the Falcon foils his SkyPirate job, he develops enough of a grudge against Sam that he throws his lot in with the Flag-Smashers for a chance at revenge. |
| 72 | * LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Well, not exactly ''gentlemen'', but he does belittle Cap for using a helmet and a defensive weapon, prompting him to put them aside and even the playing field. |
| 73 | -->'''Batroc:''' ''<... I thought you were more than just a shield.>''\ |
| 74 | '''Steve:''' ''<Let's find out.>'' |
| 75 | * LightningBruiser: Fast and strong enough to pose a challenge to Captain America. |
| 76 | * MistakenNationality: Some characters assume he's French, but he's actually Algerian. |
| 77 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Batroc is French-Algerian, but Georges St-Pierre is Canadian and speaks English and French in his natural Quebecois accent, likely thinking Anglophone viewers wouldn't know the difference. |
| 78 | * NotInThisForYourRevolution: Doesn't give a rat's ass about the Flag-Smashers' goals, only joining up with them since their goals just so happen to align at the moment. |
| 79 | * NotWearingTights: Rather than his full comic costume, he instead sports miltary gear with a jacket that resembles his costume top with his signiture colors. ''The Falcon and The Winter Soldier'' shifts to CivvieSpandex. |
| 80 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Wears a purple jacket in reference to his comics counterpart. And while he may not be planet-breakingly powerful, he is still skilled enough to tango with Captain America and Falcon and get away with it. |
| 81 | * RaceLift: Just plain French in the comics, Algerian in the movie. He's still said to be a veteran of French Intelligence, and portrayed by an actor who doesn't look remotely North African (which could be explained by his being from a French colonial family) and [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent doesn't sound like a French-speaking Algerian.]] |
| 82 | * {{Revenge}}: After suffering a defeat at his hands in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'''s first episode, he joins up with the Flag-Smashers with the promise that he'll be able to kill Sam Wilson while attacking the GRC. |
| 83 | * RuthlessModernPirates: Batroc is more interested in getting his ransom from S.H.I.E.L.D., but his crew is openly vicious and ready to kill any hostages. |
| 84 | * SkyPirate: When he returns after his long absence, it’s to hijack a flight to capture a VIP, before gliding from helicopter to helicopter to try and secure his prisoner. |
| 85 | * StarterVillain: Serves as the main antagonist during the opening mission of ''The Winter Soldier'', before the film's main crisis begins. He acts as this again to Sam in the first episode of ''The Falcon and the Winter Soldier''. |
| 86 | * TemptingFate: |
| 87 | ** He demands that Captain America put his shield away so that the fight is fairer. Cap does... and then starts fighting even better than beforehand. |
| 88 | ** He tries to extort and blackmail Sharon [[spoiler:after he finds out she's the Power Broker. She doesn't take kindly to blackmail, as it turns out.]] |
| 89 | * UnwittingPawn: He was hired by Fury himself in a move to get the USB MacGuffin off the boat under cover of rescuing the team. |
| 90 | * VillainRespect: Batroc seems to hold a form of reverence for Steve Rogers, as he's eager to fight the man hand-to-hand upon meeting him in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''. He also disapproves of Sam Wilson taking up the mantle of Captain America in Steve's stead, claiming that "robes don't make the monk" after seeing him in his new costume. |
| 91 | * VillainTeamUp: Forms one of these with Karli Morgenthau and the Flag-Smashers, working with them to attack the GRC, though he's primarily focused on killing the Falcon than he is helping them out. |
| 92 | * WeakButSkilled: He has no powers or special gadgets, but is such a good martial artist that he can put up a hell of a fight against Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson. |
| 93 | * WorthyOpponent: Captain America sees him as one, even going so far as to not use his shield while fighting him to put them on more even ground. |

| 135 | |
| 136 | A secretive organization with an online community currently dedicated to tracking and harassing enhanced individuals for a yet-to-be-revealed purpose. With the rise of She-Hulk, their website becomes a haven for misogynists resentful of a super-powered woman. They are also behind the attack on She-Hulk in order to obtain her gamma-irradiated blood. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * AdaptationalDumbass: Consisting of evil scientists in the comics, consisting of internet trolls in the MCU. |
| 139 | * AdaptationalWimp: The comics Intelligencia was a gathering of Marvel's greatest evil geniuses who were all capable of worldwide domination. In the show, it's an online incel hate forum started by a rich douchebag whose only goal is to harass superhumans for fun. |
| 140 | * DirtyCoward: They collectively harass and threaten Jen online, but the moment one of them is actually in the same room as an enraged She-Hulk, they turn and run with their tails between their legs. The only time any of them, aside from the Wrecking Crew, even face Jen in person is in the finale, where she's wearing an inhibitor to stop her from transforming and Todd has the means to get superpowers himself. |
| 141 | * EarlyBirdCameo: First mentioned in ''Age of Ultron'' in a FreezeFrameBonus of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s file on [[Characters/MCUCriminalsTerroristsUlyssesKlauesGang Ulysses Klaue]]. Doubles as EarlyInstallmentWeirdness due to the characterization of the Intelligencia as an incel group. |
| 142 | * EvilIsPetty: |
| 143 | ** They post hate speech and death threats against Jen online just because she's a woman who has the same powers as a male superhero. |
| 144 | ** At the gala, not only do they publicly slander, slut-shame, and humiliate Jen to provoke her into getting arrested, but some of their members showed up to record it all on their phones, which nearly gets them mangled when She-Hulk sees them. |
| 145 | ** In addition to their harassment of She-Hulk, one of their members whines about Jane Foster becoming the Mighty Thor. |
| 146 | * {{Expy}}: Of websites such as {{Website/Reddit}}, particularly online communities of the so-called "manosphere", (i.e. incels). In the video they show at the Southern California Law Awards Gala two members appear wearing masks and using a voice generator in the manner of {{Tropers/Anonymous}}. |
| 147 | * FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: They hate She-Hulk for seemingly no reason other than she is a woman and she exists. It's self-justified with a mantra that she somehow "stole" the Hulk's powers, but that's clearly just the closest thing they have to a rational excuse. |
| 148 | * HateSink: Most of them are unpleasant sexist scumbags who talk hate against female super heroes, Josh in particular is one of the worst members. |
| 149 | * HeManWomanHater: Their online forums are crawling with sexist douches who despise and want to kill Jen simply because she's a female version of the Hulk. When they interrupt the Gala, they even state she "stole" Bruce's powers despite her being very adamant that she never wanted a superhero life. |
| 150 | * InsaneTrollLogic: They justify their endless harassment of Jen and complaints about Jane Foster becoming the Mighty Thor by claiming that they didn't earn her powers and (unconvincingly) claim that they'd still hate both women even if they were men. Not only did Jen get her powers from an accident, they explicitly issue threats and insults based on her gender, and the very heroes who Jen and Jane supposedly "stole" their powers from didn't get them by choice either; Bruce Banner became the Hulk by accident, and Thor was born a god and didn't have to earn his power. |
| 151 | * SlutShaming: They interrupt the South California Law Awards Gala during She-Hulk's speech with a video in which they insult her and end up showing a sex tape which Josh recorded without Jennifer's consent. |
| 152 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: Members of Intelligencia are fond of claiming that Jen becoming She-Hulk was a case of "nepotism". While this reasoning is as nonsensical as anything else they spew at her, it's true that Jen did get her powers from a family member; she got some of Bruce's blood in her system in a car crash, and, because they shared certain genetic traits, Jen was able to become a Hulk instead of dying from Bruce's gamma-irradiated blood. |

| 165 | A billionaire Jennifer Walters goes on a date with, and the founder of Intelligencia. |
| 166 | ---- |
| 167 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Calls Jen to a restaurant, supposedly to ask her for legal representation, but then starts hitting on her, and honestly thinking she's flirting with him. |
| 168 | * AmbiguouslyBi: He's an AbhorrentAdmirer to Jen, yet he also calls Pug easy on the eyes. |
| 169 | * BigBad: The main antagonist of ''She-Hulk'' as the founder of the Intelligencia organization harassing the title character. |
| 170 | * BigBadWannabe: He attempts to position himself as the villain in Jen's story arc by becoming a Hulk, but his appearance is completely undermined by Titania and Hulk appearing out of nowhere, and he doesn't even get to fight Jen. In the show's RevisedEnding, he doesn't even get to Hulk out. |
| 171 | * BodyHorror: His transformation into a Hulk is slow, awkward, and painful-looking, starting with him [[GrowingMusclesSequence growing muscles]] at an uneven rate throughout his body. |
| 172 | * CanonForeigner: He's not based on any existing Marvel character, which is probably a good thing given that he's just a BaitAndSwitch for the audience. |
| 173 | * CastingGag: Jon Bass previously played a total douche turned villain named Todd in the [[Series/MiracleWorkersOregonTrail third season]] of ''Series/MiracleWorkers''. |
| 174 | * DePower: By way of CosmicRetcon, since Jen complains that Todd turning into a Hulk is a lame, nonsense plot point. |
| 175 | * EntitledBastard: |
| 176 | ** As Mallory points out, it really says something that he went out with a woman with ''actual'' superpowers and came away thinking that ''he'' could do better. He believes that Jen doesn't deserve to have Hulk powers since she didn't earn, so he instead "works" to turn himself into a Hulk -- [[RewritingReality at least until Jen convinces K.E.V.I.N. to erase that stupid plotline]]. |
| 177 | ** He brags about buying an appropriated Wakandan spear at auction and mentions that he refused to return it when the Wakandans asked, clearly considering himself the rightful owner of the stolen item simply because he paid for it. |
| 178 | * EvilAllAlong: While Todd was an entitled, creepy slimeball from moment one, everyone considered him a mere annoyance and had no idea he was the founder of Intelligencia. |
| 179 | * EvilCounterpart: Parodied. He was supposed to be this to She-Hulk in the original climax after becoming a Hulk himself, but Jen calls it out for the tired cliché it is and he never gets Hulk powers in the final canon. |
| 180 | * EvilIsPetty: His grand master plan to steal Jen's super-powered blood was just so that he could himself give Hulk powers and show her up out of simple misogyny. |
| 181 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: He calls Jen a "specimen" during their first date. [=HulkKing=] was shown as wanting to steal Jen's blood. That was just one of many red flags that Todd was more than a simple creep. |
| 182 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He claims that Jen was handed her powers and that, unlike her, he's earned the right to them... by paying other people to steal her blood so they can hand it to him. |
| 183 | * MadScientist: During his date with Jen he calls her a "specimen" and is highly interested in her strengths and weaknesses. He also manages to synthesize Jen's blood into a formula that will turn him into a Hulk, although that plot ultimately gets erased from the canon. |
| 184 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Well, he's very much a misogynist, but he also shows a racist streak in episode 8, buying a Wakandan spear for his collection of "African shit" and refusing to return it to its country of origin (as it was unjustly stolen from them) when they asked. |
| 185 | * PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: He, a very white guy, tries doing the "Wakanda forever" salute out loud in a crowded restaurant. |
| 186 | * PsychologicalProjection: Despite knowing that Pug is a friend of Jen's, Todd had no difficulty at all believing that any man would hate She-Hulk as much as he himself does and welcomed him with open arms. |
| 187 | * TheReveal: That he's actually [=HulkKing=]. Granted, it's a lot more obvious on a rewatch, but then again that's not actually [[NoFourthWall the big twist]] in [[RageAgainstTheAuthor the finale]]... |
| 188 | * {{Slimeball}}: He's an incredibly creepy, self-focused sleaze. |
| 189 | * TooDumbToLive: Refusing to return a Wakandan spear to what is essentially ''the most powerful nation in the world'' just screams total suicidal idiocy. Plus, injecting himself with ''gamma irradiated'' blood was more likely going to give him cancer or worse instead of the [[spoiler: initial]] result seen. |
| 190 | * TheUpperCrass: Feels entitled to call up a lawyer via her office just to brag about acquiring an appropriated item at auction. |

| 226 | |
| 227 | An anti-alien and anti-government hate group that has came into formation months after Terrigen went widespread with plans to eliminate Inhumans and their supporters. |
| 228 | ---- |
| 229 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: They seem to recruit anyone who has anti-Inhuman agendas, regardless if they're Caucasian, Asians or Africans. |
| 230 | * {{Expy}}: This interpretation of the Watchdogs is essentially the MCU equivalent of the [[ComicBook/XMen Friends of Humanity]] and other similar groups, albeit focused on Inhumans [[ExiledFromContinuity rather than Mutants.]] |
| 231 | * FacelessMooks: They cover their faces in masked helmets that resemble a mixture of a skull and an attack dog. |
| 232 | * FantasticRacism: They express a genocidal hatred toward Inhumans. |
| 233 | * FormerRegimePersonnel: Some of its members are former KGB and SVR agents. |
| 234 | * TheRemnant: Some of its members are former HYDRA agents. |
| 235 | * RightWingMilitiaFanatic: Their anti-government rethoric, their anti-gifted people speech (just replace "gifted" or "alien" with "immigrant") and their predominantly white male membership, as well as their military arsenal, are quite evocative of white nationalist and far right militia groups. Season 4 of ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' reveals that the Watchdogs are affiliated with the Aryan Brotherhood, thus promoting them to ANaziByAnyOtherName. |
| 236 | * TookALevelInBadass: They went from a domestic terrorist group in the third season to a global threat in the fourth season thanks to some high-end financial backup. |
| 237 | * UnwittingPawn: Unbeknowst to them, they are being fed intel and weaponry by HYDRA itself and used to promote their goals. |
| 238 | * WithUsOrAgainstUs: They'll gladly kill any Inhuman sympathizers. |
| 239 | -->'''Watchdog:''' Whose side are you on?\ |
| 240 | '''Coulson:''' Not yours. |
| 241 | * YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: They see themselves as fighting to protect the people of the United States from oppressive governments and dangerous aliens. They're called domestic terrorists because they implode buildings and kill civilians. |

| 254 | |
| 255 | A Russian industrialist and the leader of the Watchdogs. He hates the Inhumans for not "earning" their power. |
| 256 | ---- |
| 257 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: His comic counterpart is a Life Model Decoy. Here, he's a human... [[SubvertedTrope Who gets turned into an LMD.]] |
| 258 | * AdaptationalVillainy: His comic books counterpart fought alongside War Machine and the Winter Guard against the Skrulls during ''ComicBook/{{Secret Invasion|2008}}''. In the MCU, he's the leader of a terrorist organization. |
| 259 | * BigBadWannabe: He likes to think of himself as the Big Bad and carries himself like one, seeming to form a BigBadDuumvirate with Radcliffe, but it becomes pretty clear that he's in over his head once his InsaneTrollLogic conspiracy theory comes out. Once he launches his grand plan into action, he is very badly outplayed by both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Radcliffe, and later ends up as TheDragon to Aida as an LMD. While he temporarily gets away from this when Aida loses control over him, forming a Duumvirate with her instead, he falls right back into Wannabe status when General Hale gets a hold of his head, forcing him into her service. |
| 260 | * BrainInAJar: His fate after Aida dissects him, with him being given remote control of a number of LMD bodies. Later, his disembodied human head is installed in a robotic body. |
| 261 | * BrokenPedestal: While admitting his father was "a son of a bitch", he did admire him for working as a miner for very little pay. When he saw his father kowtowing to the richest man in town, however, he lost his respect for him, telling Mace that the only thing worse than scum are those who wish to be like scum. |
| 262 | * TheBusCameBack: Anton Ivanov makes his return in "The Devil Complex", having been DemotedToDragon when Hale found his brain. |
| 263 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: A particularly gruesome example: Anton Ivanov's fate as a head controlling an LMD makes him the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of [[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Guardian_(Anton) Anton]], an LMD who was Red Guardian, and was decapitated but still living. |
| 264 | * CharacterDeath: Gets [[DestinationDefenestration tackled out of a window]] by Elena, landing on his (real) head. |
| 265 | * CompositeCharacter: While he's based on the Anton LMD version of Red Guardian, he claims to be "[[ComicBook/{{MODOK}} designed only for killing]]". Furthermore, his status as a BrainInAJar [[RemoteBody controlling an army of LMDs]] is similar to the current MODOK, aka MODOK ''Superior''. |
| 266 | * DemotedToDragon: After Daisy critically injures him, Aida gives him an [=LMD=] body so he can assist her in protecting the framework as her top enforcer. I.e. he is no longer anyone's "superior". He briefly escapes this fate when Aida becomes human and thus loses her control over him, but quickly falls back into it, this time to General Hale. |
| 267 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: Although he follows Aida's orders, it's pretty clear he does it for his own gains, namely killing Coulson. When she gains a conscience and tries to make him stop his murderous attempts, he shows that she is no longer in control of him. They later seem to form more of a BigBadDuumvirate. After framing S.H.I.E.L.D., he vanishes, not coming to AIDA's help later. |
| 268 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: The Superior's death was really quite sudden and poorly conveyed. The last we heard his real head was being kept in a jar by Hale, but then it turns out the version Yo-Yo tackled out of a window had his real head attached. It was not apparent that the real deal had died, besides a few subtle hints in the scene, until WordOfGod later confirmed his head had been attached to a robotic body. |
| 269 | * {{Expy}}: His status as a human whose brain commands a near-inexhaustible supply of LMD bodies while kept on life support puts him in the same boat as the comics' Dum Dum Dugan. |
| 270 | * EvilLuddite: His primary problem is with the Inhumans, but he is mistrustful of modern technology for similar reasons. He calls it weak and fragile, and prefers older, proven ways. Provides the page quote. |
| 271 | * EvilVirtues: He respects people who work hard for a living. Part of his problem with the Inhumans is because they didn't "earn" their power, but just got it through chance. |
| 272 | * FantasticRacism: He hates the Inhumans because they were just handed their power through Terrigenesis, instead of earning it, not caring that these are genetic traits that Inhumans had no say in having. |
| 273 | * FatalFlaw: His drive to prove himself superior to others, and especially inhumans, gets him in trouble. The first time is going head-to-head with Daisy despite knowing that his death is all but guaranteed, because he can't stand to run from an inhuman. This gets him quaked into critical condition. The second time is exposing his real head to danger by going to the site with the gravitonium-absorbing machine so he could have superpowers. This leads to a fight where Elena kills him. Heck, if Shockley weren't so loyal to him and his ideology, then he would have been killed while choking an ActionBomb. |
| 274 | * FreudianExcuse: As a boy, Ivanov saw his father (who worked long hours in a mine) kowtowing to a man who'd inherited his wealth, causing him to hate those whom he believed had gained power without earning it. |
| 275 | * GreenEyedMonster: He dresses up the reason for his FantasticRacism towards Inhumans with SocialDarwinist rhetoric but it's implied that he's just jealous that they develop superpowers and he can't. |
| 276 | * HumiliationConga: Things don't go well for him once he and Coulson finally meet. To wit, he finds out that after spending years focused on revenge against Coulson that the man doesn't even remember the incident that sparked everything, doesn't even get a chance to try and settle things with the man he's hated for so long, and winds up close to dead from fighting Daisy who's after him for leading the Watchdogs. Then his head is put in a jar by Aida and he can only continue living as her robotic minion. |
| 277 | * {{Hypocrite}}: For all his talk about the superiority of humans he doesn't seem to mind his new powerful robotic state. He even lampshades how he updated his definition of "humanity" to include head-in-a-jar-controlling robots instead of admitting that he was wrong. To be fair, he didn't have much choice in what Aida did to him. |
| 278 | * InsaneTrollLogic: He concludes that Coulson is responsible for all the alien incidents in the last decade because Coulson was always there when something happened, and despite having died, he's somehow still alive. It never occurred to Ivanov that Coulson was investigating these occurances. |
| 279 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: His [[BrainInAJar severed head]] isn't found in the Season 4 finale and he gets away with framing S.H.I.E.L.D., still left with his old organisation and an unknown number of LMD's. However, in Season 5 Episode 17, he finally meets his end at the hands of Elena. |
| 280 | * KeystoneArmy: Once the real Superior died, his LMD army deactivated. |
| 281 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He is killed by one of the Inhumans he persecuted, and the only reason he was vulnerable in the first place is because he wanted to become superior to everyone by absorbing gravitonium. |
| 282 | * MadeOfIron: His LMD bodies can take quite an impressive amount of punishment. |
| 283 | * MesACrowd: He doesn't just control one LMD, but at least dozens of them. |
| 284 | * MoodWhiplash: He can go from enjoying vodka to torturing someone to back again in seconds. |
| 285 | * MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: Apparently so. He doesn't shy showing off his muscles in some occassions. |
| 286 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: His comic counterpart had no last name. |
| 287 | * PeoplePuppets: Thanks to Aida's programming, he cannot harm anyone connected to the Framework unless they become a threat to it. Ivanov tries to murder Coulson but his body doesn't respond no matter how much he wants to. |
| 288 | * RemoteBody: The Ivanov [=LMDs=] function as these for his disembodied head. |
| 289 | * {{Sadist}}: He tells an uncooperative Billy Koenig that he enjoys causing other people pain. |
| 290 | * SocialDarwinist: Shows some signs of this, phrasing his issues with Inhumans as them getting powers by little more than luck than by actually doing anything to earn them. He also clearly enjoys demonstrating his strength over others, forcing Shockley to admit that Anton is his superior by choking him. |
| 291 | * TalkingToThemself: Or rather, to his dozens of LMD bodies, which he all controls. |
| 292 | * TookALevelInBadass: After overcoming his LMD restrictions and forming a more equal partnership with Aida, he is a much more threatening villain. |
| 293 | * VillainBall: There was no logical reason whatsoever for him to attach his real head on one of his LMD bodies and engaging Elena in combat. |
| 294 | * VillainousValor: Doesn't hesitate in going head-to-head with Daisy (I.e. the superheroine Quake) despite knowing the deck is stacked against him. |
| 295 | -->'''Ivanov:''' It's not a fair fight, but one I'll take on anyway. |
| 296 | * WeCanRebuildHim: His broken body gets cut up by Aida and he gains control of dozens of LMD bodies. |

| 367 | |
| 368 | The Mexican Cartel are a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin drug cartel operating in Mexico]] and New York City. While never directly referred to as such, the Mexican Cartel is based in Juarez, Mexico, likely making it the RealLife Juarez Cartel. |
| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | * AssholeVictim: While they are never shown as being much of a threat to guys like Daredevil, Punisher or [[spoiler:Ronin]], they're still a drug cartel at the end of the day and are responsible for the deaths of dozens of innocent people, [[PayEvilUntoEvil so no one really misses them when they get killed off.]] |
| 371 | * ButtMonkey: With the exception of Luke Cage and despite being a drug cartel, everytime the cartel is mentioned, they are being targeted by vengeful vigilantes. |
| 372 | ** Unlike the Dogs of Hell or Kitchen Irish, none of them posed a threat to Frank's life at any point in the show, and they never even get the mercy of Daredevil. Instead, they wind up getting the worst deaths out of the three shootout gangs, and eventually Frank kills off every last member of their New York chapter. |
| 373 | ** Even their contribution to the shootout winds up backfiring in their face. As despite actually managing to shoot up an entire park full of people, it only managed to get a very angry vigilante to put them on his hitlist. |
| 374 | ** Years later, [[spoiler:Ronin also kills off several cartel members that survived the Snap, [[LastDisrespects and as if to add even more insult to injury]], Ronin's kills were just chalked up to gang warfare by the Federal Police.]] |
| 375 | * TheCartel: It's in the name, as they are a cartel who regularly engage in drug trafficking and gang warfare. |
| 376 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: The first time we see the Mexican Cartel, they are hanging from meathooks courtesy of the Punisher. |
| 377 | -->'''Matt Murdock:''' ''You left men hanging from meathooks.'' |
| 378 | * FlatCharacter: Unlike the other criminal organizations in the MCU Netflix shows (or even most of the MCU in general), the Mexican Cartel have yet to have any named characters working for them, have the least amount of characterization, and mostly just exist as vigilante fodder. |
| 379 | * KilledOffscreen: In ''Endgame'', Rhodey mentions that Ronin was last seen killing cartel members, but unlike [[{{Yakuza}} Akihiko]], they are never seen putting up a fight. |
| 380 | * NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Frank kills off a sicario from the cartel [[Series/ThePunisher2017 in his own series]], who was [[ImprobableAimingSkills all the way in Juarez]], which means that the specific cartel that participated in the death of his family is likely the RealLife [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juarez_Cartel Juarez Cartel.]] |
| 381 | * TheUnfought: Despite their debut in ''Daredevil'' Season 2, Matt never ends up fighting a single member of the Mexican Cartel, as they arguably get the worst deaths from The Punisher instead and both of them have more trouble fighting the Dogs of Hell and Kitchen Irish. |

| 409 | A global anarchist terrorist cell formed in the five years after the Snap, who believe that the world was better off after the snap effectively erased national borders. Their goal is to tear down borders and the symbology of the old world in order to secure global unity. |
| 410 | ---- |
| 411 | * AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, Flag-Smasher (singular) leads an organization called [[FunWithAcronyms ULTIMATUM]] (Underground Liberated Totally Integrated Mobile Army To Unite Mankind). Here, his epithet has been applied to the group as a whole. |
| 412 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Here, the Flag-Smashers have taken the Super-Soldier Serum and have increased strength and toughness. The comic book Flag-Smasher was a BadassNormal, and his followers in ULTIMATUM were similarly unpowered. |
| 413 | * AffablyEvil: They're terrorists, but are an AntiVillain WellIntentionedExtremist group who are trying to help the needy who were screwed over by the Blip, while maintaining a VillainousFriendship amongst them. |
| 414 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Many of them turn out to be fairly sympathetic and well-intentioned individuals who are actually uncomfortable with the extremes that Karli progressively resorts to. However, after they're arrested with the hinted possibility of turning over a new leaf, their transport is bombed on Zemo's orders, killing all of them.]] |
| 415 | * AntiVillain: They believe that the world would be better off united as one people. To that end, they have launched a campaign of sabotage against anything they see as holding people apart, like banks. They also seek to aid Snap-displaced refugees, who have been left behind in the wake of the Blip. |
| 416 | * BombThrowingAnarchists: Acting outside and in opposition to all governments of the world, the Flag-Smashers steal supplies from the Global Repatriation Council and take them to vulnerable refugees in displacement camps. "Power Broker" has Karli escalate their actions a few steps further by detonating a car bomb beside the GRC headquarters, insisting that doing so will send an unignorable message. |
| 417 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To HYDRA, especially as seen in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''. |
| 418 | ** HYDRA has always had a "legitimate" aspect to their actions by operating under an official government organization; in ''The First Avenger'' they were the Third Reich's Science Division, while in ''The Winter Soldier'' they were TheConspiracy operating from [[VillainWithGoodPublicity within S.H.I.E.L.D. and other parts of the world's governments.]] The Flag Smashers are BombThrowingAnarchists, yet also operate in the open through their use of masks. |
| 419 | ** HYDRA had hundreds of {{Mooks}} to throw at the heroes, but most of them were {{Muggles}}, only making consistent use of one Enhanced SuperSoldier despite their efforts to make more, and reaped the benefit of working within the Third Reich's military wing and the USA's intelligence network to rely on [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill overwhelming force]] and [[WeHaveReserves sheer numbers.]] The Flag-Smashers are a small guerrilla outfit, whose core membership are all enhanced with a refined form of the original SuperSerum that created Captain America, and get by on the loyalty and charity of those sympathetic to their cause. |
| 420 | ** HYDRA's goal was always to impose order on the world by bringing it under their fascistic rule. The Flag-Smashers are more concerned with providing aid and succor to those they believe the world has left behind since the effects of Thanos' Snap were undone, and while they are also bent on forcing the world to unite by erasing borders between nations, there's no evidence that they actually want to ''rule'' it. |
| 421 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: In Episode 6, they collectively disapprove of [[spoiler:Karli's decision to start killing hostages]] and very reluctantly go along with it. |
| 422 | * EvilVsEvil: They come into conflict with two major villains of the universe: Baron Zemo (because of his opposition to the existence of {{Super Soldier}}s) and the Power Broker (because Karli stole twenty vials of SuperSerum from the Broker to use in their campaign of sabotage). |
| 423 | * ExternalCombustion: [[spoiler:How Karli's group, barring Karli herself and Diego, are dealt with in the end, by Zemo's butler.]] |

| 425 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Sam's]] speech seems to turn some of them around, and the public may very well consider their stance more generously. [[spoiler:Zemo has them killed anyway.]] |
| 426 | * MalevolentMaskedMen: While committing crimes, the Flag-Smashers always put on black masks with their symbol on it in order to hide their identities while still informing the world of their goals. |
| 427 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: |
| 428 | ** Justified. None of them look as strong or as powerful as they actually are, because the serum they took was modified to grant them enhanced abilities and senses without altering their physical appearance. This allows them to blend in and avoid drawing attention to themselves when not wearing their masks. |
| 429 | ** This also seems to apply between them; Karli seems to be the strongest member, even though she is one of the smallest members of the group. |
| 430 | * NoSell: In the first episode, one of them is seen landing perfectly safe on their feet after an incredibly high jump onto cobblestone with no injuries, even dusting off their coat after they do so, which calls into question if the group as a whole are enhanced or they only have a few enhanced members. |
| 431 | * OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: The younger villains fighting opposite Sam and Bucky. |
| 432 | * SigilSpam: Their symbol is that of a red hand imprint with an image of the globe on the palm. It can be seen on all their masks, and is shown on the walls of people and families who are loyal to them. |
| 433 | * SuperStrength: One of them is seen kicking a guard so hard that he goes ''flying'' and hits his head on a lamppost. All of the central members have been enhanced. [[spoiler:It is confirmed in Episode 2 that they were enhanced with the super solder serum.]] |
| 434 | * UnskilledButStrong: Most of them don't have the least idea how to fight properly, as demonstrated in Episode 4 when the unenhanced Sam is able to hold his own while in his Falcon gear, the comparatively WeakButSkilled Bucky easily beats several of them once he realizes that he doesn't have to hold back (the only one who lays a glove on him is Karli and that's because she hits him in mid-air when he's dropping from a balcony), and they stand no chance against [[spoiler:an equally enhanced and increasingly AxCrazy John Walker.]] In episode 6, they only do well against Walker and Bucky by ganging up on them all at once, or attacking them while they're distracted by hostages; 1v1 the WeakButSkilled BadassNormal Georges Batroc proves to be a ''far'' better fighter than them, as seen in his fight with Sam. |
| 435 | * VillainousFriendship: They have established good camaraderie and rapport amongst themselves. |
| 436 | * WeAreEverywhere: Said word-for-word by Karli Morgenthau to Batroc. The Flag-Smashers' ideals appeal to a lot of people, especially the people displaced by the population that has come back from the Blip. Most of the time, the Flag-Smashers simply count on support from ordinary people, but in Episode 5, Karli mobilizes dozens of supporters in order to attack the [=GRC=]. |
| 437 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: To take down and unite the entire world as one while bringing the world to how it was during the Snap, they are willing to go to great lengths. |
| 438 | * YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: Despite their unsavory image with the U.S. government, they seem to have enough grassroots clout that they have families taking the risk of giving them shelter. Their conversations also imply that they represent [[FantasticRacism a growing social rift]] between the people who were [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Snapped]] and [[Film/AvengersEndgame the people who were left behind.]] |

| 450 | ->"''The struggle is what brings us all together. People who have nothing in common. For we are, after all, simply one world and one people."'' |
| 451 | |
| 452 | The leader of the Flag-Smashers. |
| 453 | ---- |
| 454 | * AdaptationNameChange: A minor one to go along with the gender flip, from ''Karl'' Morgenthau to ''Karli''. |
| 455 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: The original Flag-Smasher in the comics, ''Karl'' Morgenthau, became a supervillain after seeing his diplomat father murdered during a riot outside a Latverian embassy. Here, ''Karli'' is a young woman radicalized by being a homeless orphan who was adopted and raised by the kindly Mama Donya, and seeing the world come together to survive in extreme circumstances after the Snap, only for things to go back to how they were before or get even worse after the Avengers undid its effects by bringing back those who died in the initial Snap. |
| 456 | * AdaptationalNationality: Swiss man in the comic, British woman of color here. |
| 457 | * AffablyEvil: She's AMotherToHerMen out of their VillainousFriendship, while also demonstrating VillainRespect towards Sam, who sympathizes with her group's cause. |
| 458 | * ArchEnemy: While Bucky, Sam, Sharon, and Zemo are after her for either impersonal or philosophical reasons, John Walker's vendetta against her is personal after [[spoiler:she killed Lemar and he killed Nico in return.]] |
| 459 | * BeneathTheMask: Beneath the image of a freedom fighter opposing tyranny, Karli is actually a disgruntled young woman opposing a system that she refuses to accept, blaming it for causing the death of her mother figure. Her repressed frustration makes her vengeful and she is venting it against the goverment, which culminates in her killing more and more people. Thus, while she claims that it is for the sake of the people, she is actually fighting for herself. |
| 460 | * BigBad: Of ''The Falcon and the Winter Soldier''; Bucky and Sam begin working together in order to stop her before she goes too far, and they recruit Zemo to help fight her and her fellow Super-Soldiers. |
| 461 | * CelebrityParadox: The ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise exists in the MCU with Creator/ErinKellyman having appeared in ''Film/{{Solo}}''. |
| 462 | * CombatPragmatist: Both times she fights Bucky, she sucker-punches him-- the first time by exploiting her apparently harmless appearance to get him to drop his guard, the second to body-slam him as he's dropping from a balcony. In the final episode, when Bucky catches up with her gang, Karli sets a car with hostages on fire to give him someone to rescue. |
| 463 | * CompositeCharacter: With Marrow, who like Karli was a young woman that [[spoiler:Sharon]] took under her wing. |
| 464 | * DarkActionGirl: She's capable of going toe to toe with trained and genetically enhanced soldiers thanks to her powers. |
| 465 | * DeathByIrony: Rather than martyr herself against what she perceives to be a problematic icon of nationalism like Walker or [[spoiler:Sam]], she is instead [[spoiler:killed by the Power Broker, an independent criminal, who was responsible for her getting her powers.]] |
| 466 | * DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: Implied. After merely shoving [[spoiler:Lemar Hoskins]] away during a fight at the end of Episode 4, the impact of hitting a stone pillar at force kills him; Karli takes off her mask and looks just as shocked as the rest of the cast at what just happened. |
| 467 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Facetiously apologizes for killing [[spoiler:Battlestar]] in the series finale, because in her words, [[spoiler:Lemar’s life]] [[UsefulNotes/BlackLivesMatterMovement didn't matter]] as far as the goals of the Flag Smashers were concerned. |
| 468 | * TheDragon: She was once this to [[spoiler:Sharon Carter.]] |
| 469 | * EvilRedhead: Her dark red curly hair is constantly on display from behind her mask, keeping her distinct from her comrades. |
| 470 | * {{Expy}}: This version of the character seems to be partially inspired by Enfys Nest, the character from ''Film/{{Solo}}'' also played by Creator/ErinKellyman, both being young masked female leaders of a criminal freedom fighter group who are in conflict with crime lords, grew up in poverty, and are mostly trying to make life better for their people, albeit through unorthodox and questionable methods. |
| 471 | * FatalFlaw: LackOfEmpathy. Karli starts out genuinely well meaning but begins to unnecessarily start escalating her tactics as a way to vent her growing rage because she honestly doesn't see those she's fighting against as people with lives of their own but simply roadblocks to remove. This ultimately does more harm than good for the Flag Smashers cause and the other members start to get pushed away by how far she's going. Her VillainousBreakdown in the finale ultimately comes about because she can't regard Sam the same dispassionate way she would her other enemies and can only desperately lash out to try make him strike back as a way to validate how she sees the world. |
| 472 | * FreudianExcuse: Karli's an orphan and grew up on the streets until Mama Donya finds her and takes care of her. She lost her home as people return in the Blip. Her purpose of founding the Flag-Smashers is also genuine as she wants to help refugees around the world and end supremacy. |
| 473 | * FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: While Sam agrees with Karli's motivation for her fight, he doesn't agree with her method of using it, especially when it comes to killing innocent people, something he or Mama Donya would certainly not get with. |
| 474 | * GenderFlip: In the mainstream comics, Karl Morgenthau was male, as was his [[LegacyCharacter successor.]] Not only is Karli female, but the beloved parental figure who inspired her is also her (adoptive) mother rather than her father. |
| 475 | * GlassCannon: She is probably the strongest of the Flag-Smashers, but [[spoiler:a bullet to the gut from a pistol is all it takes to kill her. Captain America in comparison can take a bullet to the gut and still have enough strength left to lift a 1 ton girder and tank hits from another super soldier.]] |
| 476 | * HeroKiller: An accidental one. She kills [[spoiler:Lemar Hoskins.]] |
| 477 | * IgnoredEpiphany[=/=]HeelFaceDoorSlam: Any time Karli comes close to realizing she's JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, someone interrupts or she just flat-out ignores the realization. |
| 478 | * InASingleBound: Is seen leaping from the back of a truck and going about 30 feet into the air in Episode 2. |
| 479 | * JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Karli starts off as being JustLikeRobinHood, but her anger at the GRC results in her doing things that are undeniably acts of terrorism. By the end of the series, she's trying to burn hostages alive and kill Sam just to send a message and is content with her and her followers becoming martyrs to further the movement, which understandably unsettles her followers. |
| 480 | * JustLikeRobinHood: She's explicitly referred to as Robin Hood by her supporters and collaborators. |
| 481 | * MalevolentMaskedMan: Like all Flag-Smashers, though she's notable for taking it off to talk to Sam at Donya Madani’s funeral. |
| 482 | * MeaningfulName: Karli - the feminine of Karl, meaning strength. Morgenthau - morning dew. She's a young idealist with pure motives, the leader of a radical organization. And pure as the morning dew because she jumps off the slippery slope. |
| 483 | * AMillionIsAStatistic: [[spoiler:She is more disturbed over killing Lemar than she was about blowing up a building full of GRC members.]] |
| 484 | * MissingStepsPlan: She says that she wants a united world with no borders, but doesn't provide any concrete steps that world governments could take to bring such change about. Her plan seems to be to demand global unity, then kill people and blow stuff up until it happens. |
| 485 | * AMotherToHerMen: She genuinely cares about her fellow anarchists, and is nothing short of devastated when Matias willingly sacrifices himself to the Power Broker's men to buy her and the rest of the Flag-Smashers time to escape. |
| 486 | * MotiveDecay: Karli's goal of helping refugees JustLikeRobinHood eventually comes down to anarchy and killing anyone, innocent or not, to ensure the success of her goal. |
| 487 | * MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: She assures her followers that even in death, their movement will continue, which horrifies them. |
| 488 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She's genuinely horrified after she accidentally kills [[spoiler:Lemar Hoskins]] as her only intention was to push him away from her. She even apologizes to Walker, only to [[ThatCameOutWrong blurt that Lemar's life doesn't matter]] (she meant that he didn't matter to her cause, and she doesn't want to hurt people that don't). |
| 489 | * NoSell: Is able to ''kick away Cap's shield'' when Sam throws it at her. This is due to [[spoiler:being enhanced with the Super Soldier serum.]] |
| 490 | * NoSympathy: While she is AMotherToHerMen and a WellIntentionedExtremist genuinely wanting to help the people who were displaced, Karli is willing to kill innocent people and hostages to achieve her goals. |
| 491 | -->'''Sam:''' You're killing innocent people. |
| 492 | -->'''Karli:''' [[ShutUpKirk They're not innocent! They're roadblocks in my journey and I'd kill them again if I had to.]] |
| 493 | * NothingPersonal: She tells Walker that her killing of [[spoiler:Hoskins]] was never her intention and that it was an accident. Unfortunately for her, Walker is not swayed by her statements and becomes even more incensed when she brushes him off as someone that didn't matter. |
| 494 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: {{Downplayed}}, since her goals and concerns are sincere, but it is more and more evident to both her enemies and even her followers that she has gotten DrunkOnTheDarkSide, and on some level is just using her ideology as an excuse to vent her frustrations and hurt people she doesn't like, rather than achieve anything of substance. |
| 495 | * NotWearingTights: Karl Morgenthau is a fully-costumed supervillain in the comics, with a mask, cape, and tights to boot. Karli, along with the rest of her group, opts for a simple black mask marked with a red handprint. |
| 496 | * OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: She is 19 and fighting the much older Sam Wilson and the even older Bucky Barnes. |
| 497 | * OpenMouthInsertFoot: When she attempts to apologize for [[spoiler:killing Lemar]], she tells Walker that she never meant to kill people who didn’t matter. Walker takes it exactly how you'd expect. |
| 498 | -->'''Karli:''' I didn't mean to kill your friend. [[ThatCameOutWrong I don't wanna hurt people that don't matter.]]\ |
| 499 | '''Walker:''' [[spoiler:[[ArmorPiercingQuestion You don't think Lemar's life mattered?]]]] |
| 500 | * RaceLift: In the comics, Karl Morgenthau was Caucasian, but here Karli Morgenthau is played by Erin Kellyman, who is mixed-race. |
| 501 | * ShameIfSomethingHappened: In order to get Sam to meet her, Karli contacts Sarah and threatens both her and her children. She claims that it was just to get his attention and see what he was like. |
| 502 | * ShadowArchetype: |
| 503 | ** Karli is what would happen if Sam went against the government for their oppression of the people and took the super soldier serum. Part of Sam's character arc in the series is being a symbol for hope for a race that has been prejudiced for centuries, and accepting a mantle that means a lot for the country. On the contrary, Karli doesn't see the Captain American mantle and shield as a symbol of hope, and believes that it should be destroyed. By the final episode, Karli goes to the deep end and has no qualms about killing people, something that Sam has been avoiding throughout the series. |
| 504 | ** She is also one for the Captain America title. Whereas Captain America is supposed to be a symbol of hope for the people, Karli rallies her allies via chaos. |
| 505 | * SheKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:She's killed by Sharon Carter under the pretense of Sharon stopping her from killing Sam. However, Sharon was also silencing Karli, who knows Sharon's identity as the Power Broker.]] |
| 506 | * SheWhoFightsMonsters: Karli's initial goal of stealing supplies to give to the needy eventually has her killing GRC members. When questioned by Sam, she considers the people she killed to be obstacles in the way of her goal, and would kill them again if it meant completing her objective. This makes her realize that she is a supremacist and no different than the government that she is planning to topple. Averted by the finale, however, where she went to the deep end and is willing to kill anyone just to make a statement. |
| 507 | * SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: She gradually slips into becoming a terrorist no morally better than the people that she opposes. |
| 508 | * SuperheroMovieVillainsDie: Or in this case, Superhero ''Show''. [[spoiler:Sharon puts her down with a few well-placed shots, averting WhyDontYouJustShootHim quite hard.]] |
| 509 | * TeensAreMonsters: A 19 year old rebel leader who, while misguided and well-intentioned, has committed various acts of crime and terrorism around the globe. |
| 510 | * UnskilledButStrong: She's one of the better fighters among the Flag-Smashers, but she doesn't have the same control over her strength that the likes of Bucky do, let alone the same skills. However, she's sufficiently [[CombatPragmatist pragmatic]] to hold her own. |
| 511 | * VillainousBreakdown: As her plans to stop the GRC repeatedly get foiled by Sam and Bucky, and eventually Walker, Karli gets visibly more unhinged, resorting to more extreme tactics, even willing to kill the hostages, which disturbs her followers. By the time she confronts Sharon and fights Sam, she's screaming in fury at the latter, almost begging him to fight back. |
| 512 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: She is the leader and most ruthless member of the Flag-Smashers, but she is genuinely trying to help all the people who were displaced. Unfortunately, her growing LackOfEmpathy causes her to resort to progressively more unnecessary extremes that wind up downplaying the "well-intentioned" part. |
| 513 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: Pretends to be a hostage captured by the Flag-Smashers in Episode 2 in order to get the drop on Bucky. |
| 514 | * YoungAndInCharge: She leads the Flag-Smashers despite being the youngest of them. |
| 515 | * YouthfulFreckles: Erin Kellyman's freckles are in no way de-emphasized here. In fact, [[OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain they emphasize her youthfulness compared to the two older heroes.]] (For the record, during filming, Erin Kellyman was 21, Anthony Mackie was 41, and Sebastian Stan was 37). |

| 652 | * PetTheDog: Cared a great deal for Skye, checking up on her and allegedly doing what he did in part to improve her life. Whether or not he still cares for her is unknown. |
| 653 | * RestrainingBolt: After the crisis is past, he's given a bracelet that Coulson vaguely describes as being able to do "anything we want". At the very least, it generates some kind of interference that makes using electronics difficult. |
| 654 | * SpannerInTheWorks: By taking money to hack S.H.I.E.L.D. for Chan's location, he not only ruined his own life, but blew his chances with Skye and cost her the trust of the other members of the team when she stuck her neck out for him. |
| 655 | * TechnoWizard: He taught Skye a good portion of her hacking ability. |
| 656 | * {{Unperson}}: Not as thorough as Skye, but he has no family records and has been known to use aliases. |

| 811 | A cabal of powerful businessmen that seek to take control of the United States government through political and economic influence. They already hold influence in media as well as the intelligence community and the justice system. They gather under the cover of the Arena Club, a male-only social club. |
| 812 | ---- |
| 813 | * AdaptationNameChange: WordOfGod states they are the MCU version of the Secret Empire. In the comics, counterparts of Calvin Chadwick and Thomas Gloucester are members of the Elite, a secret society involved with the Secret Empire. |
| 814 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: They had President UsefulNotes/WilliamMcKinley assassinated and engineered the Wall Street Crash of 1929 that caused TheGreatDepression. |
| 815 | * BigBadWannabe: While a powerful secret society would normally be a pretty big threat, they're absolutely nothing compared to the Darkforce-enhanced Whitney Frost, and are usurped in short order when they try to make a move against her. |
| 816 | * TheConspiracy: They are a cabal of businessmen manipulating events to achieve further riches and power for themselves, with influence over industry, economy, politics and media. |
| 817 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: All of the council members are businessmen using their connections to influence politics and economy in order to further their own agendas and further enrich themselves |
| 818 | * EvilOldFolks: All of them are, at the very least, well over their middle age and whatever and whoever they can't buy into serving their interests they destroy. |
| 819 | * HeManWomanHater: Women are not allowed in either their club and council. That is, of course, until Whitney Frost forces herself into leadership thanks to her Zero Matter powers |
| 820 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: While the surviving Council members seemingly make it out of ''Agent Carter'' without getting any comeuppance, an off-hand mention in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' season 7 states that Daniel Sousa took them down at some point before 1955. Hugh Jones was named explicitly while the Council was named in general. |
| 821 | * NonIndicativeName: As of "Life of the Party" the Council no longer has 9 members, as 5 of them are killed by Whitney Frost. |
| 822 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: As Howard Stark points, all the members of the Arena Club have to be "male and pale", which is, of course, [[DeliberateValuesDissonance normal for the time period.]] Women are not allowed inside the club and those men with even whiff of non-anglosaxon ethnicity are not allowed to become members. |
| 823 | * {{Straw Misogynist}}s: They even denied entry to ''UsefulNotes/EleanorRoosevelt'', of all people. |

| 838 | A Hollywood starlet and wife of industrialist and Senate hopeful Calvin Chadwick, Whitney Frost is more than just a pretty face, she's also one of the smartest scientists in the world. But as a woman in 1947, she hides behind a mask that holds her back from doing what she was born to achieve. |
| 839 | ---- |
| 840 | * AbusiveParents: Well, there's no evidence her mother physically mistreated her, but she did tell her that her brains wouldn't get her anywhere, only her face, blamed her for driving away her cheating boyfriend by not being friendly to him, and was generally unpleasant. |
| 841 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: While the comics' Frost was a beautiful woman who was disguised and forced to wear a mask after being disfigured in a plane crash. Here, no such thing happened. Instead, she gets a disfiguring ''something'' on her face from Zero Matter that grows as she uses it to absorb and destroy people. |
| 842 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: Is one of the greatest scientists in the MCU, whereas her comic-counterpart is a crazed stalker with no real scientific accomplishments to speak of. By the end of the season, however, her mind is shattered. |
| 843 | * AdaptationalNationality: In the comics Whitney is Italian. Here she's a born and raised American. |
| 844 | * AgeLift: She's an enemy of Iron Man and a present-day character in the comics. |
| 845 | * BehindEveryGreatMan: She's the brains of the marriage and the one who truly grasps the implications of the Zero Matter. |
| 846 | * BigBad: Whitney is the main antagonist of Season 2, though she's initially in a BigBadEnsemble with the Council's DragonInChief Vernon Masters. They're connected via Calvin Chadwick, but they both have their own agendas and methods. She becomes the sole BigBad after she takes over the Council, making Vernon Masters subservient to her. The finale, however, establishes that the Zero Matter is actually sentient, and is manipulating Whitney into opening a portal for it to invade. |
| 847 | * BodyHorror: Being infected with Zero Matter first simply causes a small mark on her forehead, which alone is enough to terrify her. Then it turns out it can liquefy people and suck them into her body, causing the mark to grow. |
| 848 | * BrokenAce: Her mind is left in ruins from the influence of Zero Matter after it is removed from her body. Manfredi has her taken to a mental asylum where she hallucinates being a starlet again with her husband that she killed. |
| 849 | * ChildProdigy: A flashback shows her as a budding scientific genius when she was able to fix a broken radio. |
| 850 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: She is never referred to as "Madame Masque", and in fact she never even ''wears'' a mask, although the motif is subtly presented throughout the season. |
| 851 | * TheDogBitesBack: Having been pushed around by men her entire life, Whitney ''relishes'' the power the Zero Matter gave her. |
| 852 | --> '''Whitney:''' Why would I want to be fixed? I've never felt more powerful in my entire life. |
| 853 | * TheDreaded: Once she gains control over Zero Matter, Whitney wastes no time in striking fear into the hearts of everyone around her by killing nearly half the Council of Nine, and subsequently cowing Vernon Masters into submission. Even ''Dottie Underwood'', the Red Room trained assassin who was eternally confident throughout the first season, is completely terrified of her. |
| 854 | * DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Gets more and more crazy as she uses the Zero Matter infecting her more and more. |
| 855 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: She's the greatest scientist in the MCU in her era, debatably even the greatest scientist in ''any'' era... but because she's a woman in the 1940's, her scientific talents get zero recognition, which causes her to have a very bitter outlook on life. Even being a famous movie star doesn't get her that much respect because of Hollywood's attitudes about looks, aging, etc. |
| 856 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: This seems to be her philosophy, since she tells Dr. Wilkes that she wants to use her power to make the world a better place for marginalized people like women and people of color. [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans She just doesn't mind being an evil supervillain to do it.]] |
| 857 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite Chadwick's cheating on her, his ignorance of her intellect, and reluctance to follow her schemes, Whitney genuinely loves him. Doesn't stop her from killing him, though, when realizing he betrayed her to the Council. |
| 858 | * EvilGenius: She possesses a great scientific mind and a greater understanding of the potential applications of Zero Matter than her husband or any of the members of the Council. |
| 859 | * EvilMakesYouUgly: The more she uses her powers, the more the Zero Matter scar on her face grows. |
| 860 | * ExpyCoexistence: She's inspired by Creator/HedyLamarr, in that she is both a gorgeous actress and a brilliant inventor, yet "Smoke & Mirrors" mentions that Lamarr herself exists in this universe. |
| 861 | * FakeGuestStar: Appears in all ten episodes of the second season, and gets as much screentime and development as any of the starring characters besides Peggy. In fact, she's a much more prominent character in the season than ostensible series regular Jack Thompson, who is absent from four episodes. Prior to the season, Wynn Everett was announced to be a main cast member, but in the show proper, she's only ever billed as a guest star. |
| 862 | * FauxAffablyEvil: As the Zero Matter's effect over her grows, she seems to develop a liking for sweet talking her enemies and luring them into false safety before torturing or killing them. |
| 863 | * ForScience: She's thrilled by the power and applications of Zero Matter, even if it's wreaking havoc on her own body and sanity. |
| 864 | * GodzillaThreshold: Whitney is so dangerous and powerful (and has spies/allies within the SSR) that Peggy resorts to springing ''Dottie Underwood'' from federal lock-up in order to bring her to justice. |
| 865 | * TheHeavy: Eventually becomes this for the Zero Matter. Her growing obsession with gaining more of it is partially a result of it actively manipulating her, and had she succeeded in opening a stable rift the Zero Matter would have consumed all of reality. |
| 866 | * HiddenInPlainSight: She's wildly intelligent, such that a man who managed to impress Howard Stark calls her "something else", the brains behind her husband and the one who has designed most of the equipment and research at Isodyne... and she's a famous actress who no one suspects of anything. |
| 867 | * ImmuneToBullets: Thanks to her Zero Matter HealingFactor. |
| 868 | * InNameOnly: She bears little resemblance to her comic book counterpart, beyond the fact that they both go by the fake name Whitney Frost (her comic counterpart's real name is Giuletta Nefaria), have connections to the Maggia, both are socialites, and both are engaged to a powerful politician (Calvin Chadwick and Roger Vane respectively). Notably, those latter two are only elements in Whitney's origin, and since then they've rarely come up or defined her, while here they're important aspects of her character. |
| 869 | * ItsAllAboutMe: To a psychotic degree. When the Dark Matter explosion in New Mexico appears to be taking Jason instead of her, she absolutely loses it. |
| 870 | * KlingonPromotion: With the aid of her powers, Whitney takes over the Council of Nine, killing half of its members and bullying the other half into becoming her pawns. |
| 871 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Trying to reclaim the Zero Matter so that the SSR and the Council couldn't get their hands on it led to her getting infected by it and having it turn her into a super-powered potential time bomb. |
| 872 | * ManipulativeBastard: Within minutes, she convinces her husband to send an assassin after Peggy and have him think it was his idea with just a few fake sobs. |
| 873 | * MythologyGag: Most of the movies where she starred are references to the comics version of the character: |
| 874 | ** ''"The Woman with the Golden Mask"'' is a reference to her signature mask and alias in the comics. |
| 875 | ** ''"Tales of Suspense"'' is a reference to the comic book series where she first appeared. |
| 876 | ** ''"The Nefarious Daughter"'' is a reference to her birth name, Giuletta Nefaria, and being the daughter of Count Nefaria. |
| 877 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: Frost herself points out that she knows Peggy wouldn't give up on hunting her just because official channels barred her because she "knows" women like her, as in she ''is'' women like her. |
| 878 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: Whitney is traditionally an Iron Man villain. Of course, since the series takes place in the 40s, he isn't even born yet. |
| 879 | * SanitySlippage: As her 'illness' grows more severe, her grip on sanity becomes more tenuous. |
| 880 | * ShoutOut: A glamorous Hollywoodian star and a scientific genius rolled into one? Sounds a lot like Creator/HedyLamarr, just add the evilness. |
| 881 | * StageNames: She was born Agnes Cully, from Oklahoma. Whitney Frost is a stage name she uses to distance herself from her scientific work. |
| 882 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Naively thought she could be a professional scientist when she was younger, only to be turned down by a college for being a woman. |
| 883 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: She tells Wilkes that she wants to use her powers to make the world a better place for marginalized people. She may be telling the truth, but there's no doubt she's also gone mad with power by this point. |
| 884 | * WhiteDwarfStarlet: She can feel herself starting to slip in this direction and it clearly terrifies her. The moment she throws herself into the pursuit of developing Zero Matter openly and taking over the Council of Nine, she nonchalantly says she's moved on from it. |
| 885 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Whitney is a ruthless, evil woman but it's hard not to feel some sympathy for her; she struggles against both a world and an industry that value her based on her appearance and gender, not her contributions or intelligence. She's had to learn to live with the casual sexism of her day. |
| 886 | * YouHaveFailedMe: After realizing her husband told the Council to capture her, she kills him and half the Council. |

| 903 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: As the owner of Isodyne Energy. |
| 904 | * DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Averted; while at first he's shown being mildly emotionally abusive towards Whitney, after she reveals her Zero Matter affliction and starts to go mad with power, she terrifies him with her abilities and begins bullying him with force and fear into following her. He's shown terrified of her, and it's not played any differently than it would be if he was the one with the power. |

| 906 | * HasAType: His wife is a brilliant engineer and physicist when she's not striving to be an actor or ruling HYDRA from behind the scenes. Before the second season of ''Agent Carter'' begins, he's also having an affair with a physicist working for Isodyne, the eponymous "Lady of the Lake" in the first episode of that season. |

In addition, it's implied that workplace liasons are so frequent with him that Jones finds nothing unusual about waking up on the floor of his office with his pants unbuckled (really because Peggy wiped his memory of searching him for a key.) |
| 925 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He wears a wide grin most of the time and acts rather buddy-buddy with his associates, but there's no disguising his true villainy. |
| 926 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: When raiding his office for the key to a Roxxon vault, Peggy (while disguised) distracts him by zapping him with a device that wipes out the past two minutes of memory. She has to use it on him six times because he keeps remembering who she really is. |
| 927 | * PragmaticVillainy: Despite his sexism, he wastes no time proclaiming his loyalty to Whitney when she demonstrates her powers and takes over the council. |

| 1101 | * ChildhoodFriend: To Howard Stark, much to Peggy's surprise. |
| 1102 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: His crime group is never called the Maggia.[[note]]This may be because there's not as a great a danger in depicting the Mafia as there was back in the 60s, either from MediaNotes/TheComicsCode or the real life Mafia.[[/note]] Likewise, he is never referred to as Blackwing, and instead [[CompositeCharacter takes a few cues]] from [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Hammerhead.]] |
| 1103 | * TheDon: He's the leader of the Maggia in Los Angeles during the 1940s |
| 1104 | * TheDragon: After Whitney takes over the Council, Manfredi becomes her most trusted enforcer. On terms of authority, he's CoDragons with Vernon Masters, due to the latter's position in the U.S. government. |
| 1105 | * DisproportionateRetribution: He considers that delivering a [[CurbStompBattle vicious beatdown]] is an appropriate response for staring at his guests. |
| 1106 | * EnemyMine: When it becomes clear after a series of incidents that Whitney is [[SanitySlippage no longer]] the woman he fell in love with mostly because all she appears to care about is opening another rift and doesn't stop working even to eat or sleep he comes to Peggy and Co. for help. |
| 1107 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first appearance consists of him making Calvin Chadwick uncomfortable with a threat before claiming he was joking, casually flirting with Whitney and discussing the wedding gift he sent her, and then [[MakeanExampleOfThem beating one of his own men]] into unconsciousness for merely looking at the old girlfriend he is supposedly over. |
| 1108 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Or at least his grandmother, whom he genuinely loves. |

| 1111 | * HairTriggerTemper: Flies into a volcanic rage and beats one of his own men to a pulp with his bare hands ''for looking at Whitney too long''. Also, we don't see it, but it is mentioned that on the day Whitney dumped him for Calvin Chadwick, he reacted by murdering six random criminals at a card game. |
| 1112 | * HostageSituation: He holds Jarvis at gunpoint to get through Howard Stark's mansion and has everyone on edge - until it is revealed that he and Howard are old friends, and he was just messing around. Er...probably, anyway. |
| 1113 | * InNameOnly[=/=]AdaptedOut: In the comics, he is a bat trainer and thus has natural ability to control bats without superpowers. In the TV series, he hasn't shown any of them, not even any [[AnimalMotifs motifs]] about bats. |

| 1116 | * NoodleIncident: They didn't go into much detail about his past which is kind of a shame, because it apparently included such delightful occurrences as nearly getting thrown off a bridge by an old girlfriend, and Howard Stark stealing his underwear. |
| 1117 | * OldFlame: He and Whitney used to date. He claims to have moved on, but a few minutes later he viciously beats a man because he looked at her for too long. |
| 1118 | * SharpDressedMan: As is usual for a 40s gangster, he wears slick suits. |
| 1119 | * UndyingLoyalty: He seems to be utterly devoted to Whitney despite her leaving him and marrying another man. As a 1940s macho Italian mobster, one would expect him to balk at taking orders from a woman but he accepts Whitney's authority without question. He is the only character not freaked out by Whitney's transformation, finding her perfect the way she is. |

| 1327 | * EvilFormerFriend: Subverted as both Geoffrey and Darius are different shades of evil. Darius comes across more sympathetic when you realize Geoffrey abandoned him him after he took the fall for his early release. |
| 1328 | * FalseConfession: He confessed to a murder committed by Geoffrey to ensure Geoffrey's release from prison and the latter's deal with Jonah. |
| 1329 | * FrameUp: Catherine murders him and frames him for Destiny Gonzales' murder. |
| 1330 | * GangBangers: Took over Geoffrey's old LA gang once he got into the real estate business. |
| 1331 | * NothingPersonal: He takes a genuine liking to Alex and apologizes to him when he sells him out to his father. |

| 1338 | * {{Troll}}: In exchange for supplying Alex with money, he briefly implies that he wants Alex to do something illegal. He was just screwing with Alex; what he actually wants Alex to do is paint the nursery for his future child. |

| 1341 | * WrongGenreSavvy: |
| 1342 | ** As far as Darius is concerned, he just wants the money that Geoffrey promised when he confessed to a murder committed by Geoffrey and he thought he could get it by bullying Wilders employee in the construction site. He absolutely had no idea that his former friend has become a member of murderous cult and unwilling pawn of a HumanoidAbomination, that essentially stresses Geoffrey out which may contribute to his annoyance on Darius' insistence to get paid (which can also be considered BullyingADragon to a degree). This attitude indirectly gets Andre and eventually himself killed. |
| 1343 | ** He also kidnapped Alex without knowing that Alex's friends either have superpowers or high-tech weapon. All this makes him hilariously outclassed. |

| 1391 | * ArmsDealer: A prolific dealer in illegal tech and weaponry. |
| 1392 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When under the influence of TruthSerum, he and his henchmen confess to trafficking in stolen technology, killing many people, and committing numerous health code violations at his restaurant. |
| 1393 | * BigBadEnsemble: Alongside Ghost, he's one of the main villains of ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp''. |
| 1394 | * BigBadWannabe: Established very early on when Wasp completely floors him and all of his goons by herself. He's a SmugSnake who thinks he's bigger than he actually is, and overall is less of a direct threat than Ghost. |
| 1395 | * ButtMonkey: Whether it's by Wasp, Ghost, Luis, Ant-Man or whatever, Sonny is a guy with a streak of bad luck and tends to be made a fool of. [[LaserGuidedKarma Not that it's unearned.]] |
| 1396 | * CardCarryingVillain: Unlike [[AntiVillain Ghost]], he makes no bones about the fact that he's a criminal with no-one's best interest at heart. He wants Pym's technology to cash in on the next big thing, no matter what the consequences are. |
| 1397 | * ChurchOfHappyology: In a deleted scene, Burch asks for a first edition copy of Dianetics. |
| 1398 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Ant-Man's previous villain, Darren Cross. Both Cross and Burch wanted to get rich by selling Hank Pym's technology to evil organizations. Cross had the resources and the brains to recreate the technology, which Hank and Hope saw as a GodzillaThreshold, forcing them to assemble a RagtagBunchOfMisfits to stop him. Burch's only hope of getting the technology is to steal it from Hank and Hope, who see him as more of an annoyance than a threat. |
| 1399 | * {{Determinator}}: For all of his ineffectiveness, you gotta give the guy credit for being ''extremely'' persistent. |
| 1400 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: A lot of his henchmen are from different races like white, black, Latino, south Asian and east Asian. |
| 1401 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: He is convinced that quantum energy is the next big thing, and only cares about the money that will be involved therein. When Hope tells him she doesn't want to be in business with him, he assumes that she's got someone else to cash out to rather than possibly concluding that the daughter of Hank Pym and ally of Ant-Man has a non-monetary motive. |
| 1402 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He acts all calm and collected, even to his enemies as he's casually threatening them. |
| 1403 | * {{Foil}}: To [[BigBadEnsemble co-antagonist]] Ghost. Sonny Burch is an middle aged white man that has little-to-no sympathetic qualities, and acts FauxAffablyEvil, doesn't do any of the fighting and [[ZergRush sends his minions to do all the dirty work]]. He's chasing after what he knows will be the next gold rush. In contrast, Ghost is a young biracial (black and white) woman who's an AntiVillain at worst, does all the fighting herself without any minions, is looking out for her own survival, and cares about her father substitute. Also, he's Southern (commonly stereotyped as stupid) and she sounds upper-class British (commonly stereotyped as smart). |
| 1404 | * GenreBlind: While he'd be a decent enough threat in a normal, mundane setting, the fact is that being an unpowered, non-combative black market dealer with resources, money, manpower and connections to the FBI can only get you so far in a setting like the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. When your opponents consists of two size-shifters more than capable of fighting and commanding an army of insects, the premier ScienceHero who fathered one and mentored the other, and a ghostly woman capable of foiling your schemes with little effort, he might've been better trying his efforts somewhere else. Despite being clearly overmatched on all fronts, Burch still continues to try to keep up with them out of a misguided sense that he can handle it, [[ButtMonkey which constantly backfires in his face in spectacular fashion.]] |
| 1405 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Not that sympathetic, since he's the only character in the film that's truly evil. In another setting, he'd be ''very'' menacing as a fearsome ArmsDealer. In a {{Superhero}} setting, one that's a comedy no less, the guy simply ''cannot'' catch a break as all his attempts to get Pym's tech are foiled by Ghost (who isn't really even trying), and the one time he ''does'' get it he gets foiled by Scott who literally flicks him with his finger. |
| 1406 | * InsistentTerminology: Sonny and his men insist that the chemical he uses to make people tell the truth is not, in fact, a TruthSerum. It just happens to behave like that. [[BrickJoke After being forced to confess to the police by it, they finally admit that it is actually a truth serum.]] |
| 1407 | * LaserGuidedKarma: All the bad things that happen to him stem from his own attempts to make himself richer. And in the end, he's ultimately done in by the same TruthSerum he forces on others. |
| 1408 | * ManOfWealthAndTaste: He very much enjoys the finer things in life, from his expensive suit to his [[JiveTurkey pimped out SUV.]] When his men battle Hope at his restaurant, he completely loses his shit when his own men end up shooting up his turn-of-the-century chandelier. |
| 1409 | * NoDelaysForTheWicked: When he gets his hands on Hank's lab in the climax of ''Ant-Man and the Wasp'', he flees on a ferry. |
| 1410 | -->'''Scott:''' [[LampshadeHanging How did he even have time to buy a ticket?!]] |
| 1411 | * NoHonorAmongThieves: While Hope honors her side of the deal, bringing in the amount of money he asked for in exchange for the part of the Quantum Tunnel she asked for, Sonny makes it clear to her that he knows who she is and decides to [[MovingTheGoalposts alter the deal]] and [[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord have her work for him under threat of blackmail.]] When she refuses, he keeps both the money and the tech as "compensation", forcing Hope to take the tech by force via her Wasp suit. |
| 1412 | * NonActionBigBad: While part of the BigBadEnsemble, he doesn't take part in the fighting itself. Instead, he sends his men after his opponents. |
| 1413 | * NotSoStoic: Rarely does he truly get angry, keeping a façade of calmness and good will. However, when Luis finds a loophole in the TruthSerum to tell him about Scott and giving him the life story of how they met as opposed to telling him where he's actually at, Burch makes his demands ''very clear''. Like everyone else, he also utterly freaks out when Ghost chooses that moment to pull a JumpScare on everyone. |
| 1414 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: A black market arms dealer might have made for a menacing villain in a different context, but he's no match for the powered opponents he faces here. When he arrives to take the lab from Hope, her reaction is less a worried OhCrap, and more of an exasperated NotAgain. |
| 1415 | * PetTheDog: While Burch is ''far'' less sympathetic than Bill and Ava, even he comes across as far less cold-blooded than the average MCU villain; allowing Hope to walk away at the beginning after making it clear that they're enemies, leaving Luis and the others alive (and not even tied up) after finding out from them where Scott is, and driving around Hope when she's been knocked out and is lying in the street instead of trying to run her down. |
| 1416 | * PutOnAPrisonBus: Burch and his associates are last seen being arrested by the FBI. |
| 1417 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: A minor Iron Man foe in the comics, but part of the ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'''s BigBadEnsemble with no connection to Stark. |
| 1418 | * SmugSnake: A savvy businessman in the illegal black market no doubt, but he thinks he's much greater as a villain than he actually is. |
| 1419 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: In the comics, Sonny was an extremely minor foe of ComicBook/IronMan who ultimately died. His movie counterpart survives, but is made to pay for his crimes nonetheless. |
| 1420 | * SuperheroMovieVillainsDie: Averted, though he does get apprehended for his crimes. |
| 1421 | * SympatheticVillainDespicableVillain: Sonny Burch is much less sympathetic than Ghost. The former is a low-level criminal-type who wants Hank Pym's technology to sell on the black market. The latter is simply trying to find a way to end the pain she feels ''every second of every day''. |
| 1422 | * VillainousCrush: Sonny seems at first to have a thing for "Susan", putting on a show of good-ol'-boy charm in front of his staff; even after he reveals he knows who Hope is, he doesn't let up, acting like a jilted lover and claiming he's keeping her money as compensation for his "hurt feelings". Whether it's genuine in any way or just a means of intimidating her is uncertain. |
| 1423 | * ZergRush: How he poses a threat. Whereas Ghost is a OneWomanArmy, Burch has many men at his disposal to go after any target, [[NonActionBigBad making up for his own lack of fighting ability.]] |

| 1581 | A street-smart grifter with a mysterious past that has a chance encounter with Frank Castle aka The Punisher. |
| 1582 | ---- |
| 1583 | * AbledInTheAdaptation: Her comic counterpart had an unspecified intellectual disability, which she shows no signs of having in the show. |
| 1584 | * ActionSurvivor: Although she's part of the criminal underworld, she has no combat skills and relies on Frank to save her during shootouts. She's taught how to disarm opponents and shoot people, and it has its uses, but she's still generally poor at combat. |
| 1585 | * BadLiar: She's not very good at hiding the fact of why people are after her. This seems to only be limited to when she's nervous, as when she's lying about anything else, she's really, ''really'' good at manipulating people. |
| 1586 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: It doesn't matter how much hell she goes through, her hair will always look ''fabulous''. |
| 1587 | * CommonalityConnection: Connects with Frank over losing everyone she cares about to crime. |
| 1588 | * ConMan: Amy knows how to work a scam, such as three-card monte and is able to lie her ass off effortlessly. [[BadLiar Most of the time anyway.]] |
| 1589 | * DeadpanSnarker: Every other word out of her mouth is sarcasm. Usually directed at Frank. |
| 1590 | * DoomMagnet: Chaos seems to follow her. The fact that she's with [[OneManArmy Frank Castle]] doesn't really help, though. Likely because she and her friends took photos of Senator David Schultz, the gay son of famous evangelicals who was photographed in a compromising position, and said evangelicals have powerful friends who want the photos back by any means necessary, just so that their son can move up the political ladder. |
| 1591 | * {{Foil}}: To Frank Castle. They're both messed up from losing everyone they ever cared about, but it's affected them in opposite ways, turning him into a BloodKnight and her into a DirtyCoward. That gives them plenty of opportunities to criticise each other's approach. |
| 1592 | * GoshDangItToHeck: Doesn't like to swear, for whatever reason. Calls Frank an "a-hole", says "Oh S-H-1-T" when surprised, things like that. Emphasizes how young and relatively innocent she is. |
| 1593 | * IHaveManyNames: When Amy meets up with Frank, she uses the name of Rachel. The Larkville police find out she used the names of Stephanie, Peggy, and Susan as her aliases. |
| 1594 | * KidSidekick: Of a sort to Frank in Season 2 of ''The Punisher'', but mostly a TagalongKid in practice. |
| 1595 | * LittleMissBadass: Amy's only 16 years old, but she has the same street toughness, and with some proper training by Frank, it allows her to able to take down grown men if needed. Even with a shotgun. |
| 1596 | * MasterOfDisguise: Befitting her [[IHaveManyNames many aliases]] and function as a ConMan, Amy is very good at quick disguises. For example, she can switch from the look of a waitress to that of a schoolgirl while walking, without breaking stride, ''while being followed'' in "Nakazat". |
| 1597 | * ReplacementGoldfish: Over the course of their time together Castle seems to come to regard her as one for his dead daughter, Lisa. Made all the more obvious when Frank muses that Lisa would've been 15 if she were still alive. |
| 1598 | * ShipperOnDeck: She apparently ships Frank and Karen when the latter visits the former at the hospital, perhaps jokingly. |
| 1599 | --> '''Amy:''' You guys are the cutest. I'm almost jealous. |
| 1600 | * StickyFingers: Immediately swipes Madani's credit card and goes on a shopping spree. |
| 1601 | * TookALevelInBadass: Thanks to help from Frank, of course, but she also took a damn lot of her own initiative, such that by the end of the second season of Punisher she's doing shit it never would have occurred to her to try at the start... and succeeding. |
| 1602 | * {{Tsundere}}: As snarky as she is with Frank, it's clear that she grows quite attached to him as the season progresses. |

| 1639 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: While Akihiko is a skilled swordsman, especially considering his position as the leader of the Yakuza. Ronin ultimately outclassed Akihiko and kills him in their brief fight. |
| 1640 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: Attempted. In an attempt to get Ronin to back off from his line of reasoning, he invokes the following question and tries to point out that ''he wasn't responsible for killing half the life on the planet, including his family''. Still doesn't work, though. |

| 1646 | * MasterSwordsman: Implied. While Akihiko only has a limited amount of screentime, he was able to briefly hold his own against ''Ronin'' with his katana, where all of his [[{{Mooks}} henchmen]] ends up dead in a few seconds. |
| 1647 | * SharpDressedMan: As befitting a high-ranking Yakuza, he wears a sharp suit. |
| 1648 | * ShutUpKirk: Attempted twice, including the ArmorPiercingQuestion above. But Ronin still won't change his mind. |
| 1649 | -->'''Akihiko:''' We never did anything to ''you''!\ |
| 1650 | '''Ronin:''' You survived... Half the planet didn't. They got Thanos... You get me. |

| 1653 | * VillainOfAnotherStory: It's clear Akihiko was some kind of powerful crime boss, but his evil deeds aren't expanded upon before he's ambushed and gunned down by Ronin. Akihiko even lampshades that his criminal activities didn't even do anything to the Ronin before he started attacking him. |
| 1654 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Gets killed off in the same scene he’s introduced in. |

| 1664 | ---- |
| 1665 | * CanonForeigner: There is no criminal organization called "Iron Gang" in Marvel comics, they were created for the movie. That being said, their name could be a reference to "ComicBook/IronMan", the true nemesis of the Mandarin in the comics. |
| 1666 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: When they came seeking revenge for Wenwu decimating their ranks, Ying Li asks that her children be spared, a request that the leading thug graciously accepts. |
| 1667 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:By 2007, Wenwu had all but disbanded the Ten Rings, content to live a mortal life with the love of his life Ying Li as an honest man, raising a happy family.

[[Film/AvengersEndgame And no one would be there to stop Thanos' genocide of half of all life.]] Tragic though it may be, Ying Li's murder at the hands of the Iron Gang is the very catalyst that inadvertently saved The Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.]] |

Complicating things even more, another Hero Merc tries to force the heroine to surrender by threatening to use the bioweapon to kill everybody in the vicinity.

| 2012 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never referred to as "Dr. Faustus". However, Whitehall alludes to the "Faustus technique" while brainwashing Agent 33, hinting that Fennhoff may have used it as an alias at one point. |
| 2013 | * CompellingVoice: As Dooley puts it, "if you let him talk to you, he got you." Once he enters [[BuffySpeak hypno-speak-mode]], anyone who focuses on his voice becomes a puppet to his bidding. Sousa finally nabs him by wearing earplugs while pretending to be entranced. Then when Fennhoff is imprisoned he's made to wear a special skin-tight helmet-cage to keep him from speaking. |
| 2014 | * ConsummateLiar: He's so good that he even had the audience fooled until he started communicating with Dottie. |
| 2015 | * DeadlyEuphemism: When ordering a subject to kill themselves, he usually tells them there's "one more thing" they need to do. |
| 2016 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: Season 1 implies, and season 2 confirms, that he isn't acting on orders from Leviathan; he is on a personal mission of revenge that he orchestrated himself. In season 2 Vernon Masters tells Dottie Underwood that she, and presumably Fernhoff by extension, are considered dead to the Russians and Leviathan for Fernhoff effectively betraying them. |
| 2017 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Although it takes place after ''Agent Carter'', [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E3MakingFriendsAndInfluencingPeople early in Season 2]] of ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', Daniel Whitehall makes reference to a Faustus technique while Agent 33 is subjected to "reprogramming." Given Zola's recruitment of Fennhoff in the season finale's stinger, HYDRA likely developed the technique from Fennhoff (possibly operating under the assumed identity of Faustus). |
| 2018 | * {{Expy}}: His being the caretaker of an inventor forced by an enemy organization to work with stolen Stark technology easily hearkens back to [[Film/IronMan1 Ho Yinsen]], Tony's fellow prisoner by the Ten Rings. The only difference is that he was willingly working for Leviathan, unlike Yinsen who was under duress. |
| 2019 | * FeelsNoPain: His hypnotism is so strong that an entranced soldier having his leg amputated doesn't feel a thing. |
| 2020 | * HypnoPendulum: His ring seems to serve as one, as he rubs it and tells his subjects to focus on it. While doing so the soundtrack plays a odd background whine, so it's not clear if the ring is what hypnotizes people or if it's only something to draw their attention to. |
| 2021 | * IHaveYourWife: According to him, this is how Leviathan originally convinced him and other recruits to cooperate back in 1944. However, given that he is a ConsummateLiar, this may be a ruse, at least for his own personal account. |
| 2022 | * ItsPersonal: Fennhoff wants revenge on Howard Stark because of the ill-advised release of Item 17's gas in Finow, which caused everyone in the town, including Fennhoff's brother, to slaughter each other. |
| 2023 | * ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: Inverted. Whenever the SSR asks him about the technology Leviathan stole, he answers that he is a psychologist, not an engineer. |
| 2024 | * KnightOfCerebus: His ability to bend people to his will, his status as a ConsummateLiar, his utter lack of empathy and the fact that the SSR fully trusts him turned make him such an absolutely terrifying villain that turns ''Agent Carter'' from what seemed to be a "MacGuffin of the Week" procedural into having its main heroic characters bent on stopping him. |
| 2025 | * LotusEaterMachine: His hypnotic abilities allow him to place his victims in a psychological state of their greatest desires. [[PetTheDog This can be used for good]], such as a psychological replacement for anesthetic during surgery. |
| 2026 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: The good doctor works for an evil Soviet organization. |
| 2027 | * ManipulativeBastard: He is extremely good at manipulating people without them even noticing. |
| 2028 | * MisplacedRetribution: He blames Howard for the Massacre at Finow because he accidentally created the Midnight Oil gas, instead of the true culprit, General [=McGinnis=], the man who ordered it used over Howard’s objections and without his consent. |
| 2029 | * TheMole: He pretends to be the SSR's information source on Leviathan while secretly working for Leviathan and with Dottie. |
| 2030 | * MythologyGag: In an episode 7 flashback, he's shown reading ''Theatre/DoctorFaustus'' by Creator/ChristopherMarlowe, hinting toward his comic counterpart's codename and that he will develop the "Faustus method" later used by HYDRA in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. |
| 2031 | * NonActionGuy: He doesn't inflict much violence directly himself; that's what Dottie is for. |
| 2032 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Ivchenko is not his real name, but only the audience gets to know that. |
| 2033 | * PetTheDog: In 1943, he saves a soldier's life by providing a "psychological replacement for anaesthetic" during surgery when their real anaesthetic had run out. |
| 2034 | * PsychoPsychologist: He uses his great skills as a psychologist to mind control people and make them do terrible things. |
| 2035 | * RevengeBeforeReason: When he learns Howard Stark was in the city he decided to put their plans on hold until they catch him. |
| 2036 | * SherlockScan: Shows an ability to immediately deduce details about people, including personal issues, simply from observing them and their surroundings for a short time. He then uses that knowledge as a entry point to manipulating and bending them to his will. With only one visit to Dooley's office, he can deduce that the SSR chief is having marital problems due to having [[ExiledToTheCouch a bed, toothbrush, and shaving tools in his office]] and the presence of a downturned photo frame while another with two kids in it is still standing. When later kept in a room with Agent Yauch, he figures out that the agent suffers from MiddleChildSyndrome in less than half a minute. Yauch is amazed, to say the least. |
| 2037 | * TheShrink: He is a psychologist, and from what is seen in the show a '''damn good one'''. |
| 2038 | * ShootTheDog: He is forced to kill his only friend (and patient) Nikolai when the latter offers to surrender the SSR to Leviathan in order to ensure their well-being. Subverted when he is revealed to be EvilAllAlong. |
| 2039 | * SignificantAnagram: The "Ivchenko" alias is an anagram (in the Roman alphabet, anyway) of "Ovechkin", the private he helped to "anesthetize" three years back (whose name, according to the writers, is a ShoutOut to hockey player Alexander Ovechkin). |
| 2040 | * SoleSurvivor: Fennhoff was at Finow when the Midnight Oil massacre happened and was the only one to survive unscathed because he had a gas mask. A few other future Leviathan agents also survived, but had to get laryngectomies due to the side effects. |
| 2041 | * TreacherousAdvisor: He becomes one to Dooley, feeding him advice on dealing with his collapsing marriage that's really all just to open holes for him to sneak into the SSR chief's mind. |
| 2042 | * TrojanPrisoner: He poses as a hostage of Leviathan at the Red Room Academy, so the SSR can "rescue" him and bring him to the States. |
| 2043 | * VillainInAWhiteSuit: Is often seen wearing a light-coloured suit. It's likely because he poses as a benevolent doctor and using that role as a ruse. |
| 2044 | * VillainousLegacy: Being the MCU's version of Dr. Faustus, he is likely the inventor of the "Faustus Method" of brainwashing that HYDRA continues to use in the present day. |
| 2045 | * VillainTeamUp: |
| 2046 | ** His partner in crime is "Dottie" / Black Widow. |
| 2047 | ** After being arrested, he meets Arnim Zola, future founder of the new HYDRA, and the two start to collaborate. |
| 2048 | * WeaksauceWeakness: His hypnosis turns out to be useless against someone wearing earplugs. |
| 2049 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Even worse than most cases. He doesn't do this to underlings who voluntarily work for him, but to his innocent, brainwashed victims. |
| 2050 | * YouKilledMyFather: Everything he did in the series, he did to get back at Howard Stark for causing the untimely death of his brother. |

| 2065 | A mute employee of Leviathan who betrayed the organization for personal profit. |
| 2066 | ---- |
| 2067 | * ArmsDealer: Double-crosses Leviathan to sell the nitramene on the black market. In his own words, "I don't murder people; I just sell to people who do." |
| 2068 | * CreepyMonotone: What his voice sounds like with his electrolarynx. |
| 2069 | * DeathbedConfession: Tries to give one but can't because his electrolarynx was destroyed. Instead, he draws a symbol [[https://pmctvline2.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/agentcarter_symbol.jpeg?w=300&h=210 resembling a heart with a squiggly line across it in the dirt]], the emblem of the ship where Howard Stark's stolen creations were stashed. |
| 2070 | * MythologyGag: Leet Brannis shares his name with [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Leet_Brannis_%28Earth-616%29 a minor crook from 40s Marvel Comics]], who was an enemy of The Whizzer. |
| 2071 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Leet Brannis is definitely an alias. |
| 2072 | * PunchClockVillain: Claims he doesn't "murder people. I just sell to people who do." This falls flat a second later as he sets off a nitramine bomb that will kill Peggy and anyone else in the building. |
| 2073 | -->'''[[https://twitter.com/Marvel/status/552689123324993536 Marvel Entertainment]]''': Thanks for clearing that up creepy bad guy, that's totally not as evil. |
| 2074 | * TheSpeechless: Can't speak without an electrolarynx, due to having his voice box removed. This is because he inhaled Midnight Oil gas during the massacre at Finow, and nearly suffocated until throat surgery saved him, at the expense of his voice. |

| 2084 | |
| 2085 | A Leviathan agent hunting down Peggy after spotting her at ''La Martinique'' club. |
| 2086 | ---- |
| 2087 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Hunting enemy agents in a stylish green suit. |
| 2088 | * CallingCard: His murders are frequently marked with the victim's hand being stabbed to a table. Ironically he dies in the same manner. |
| 2089 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Gets crushed along with the dairy van by the nitramine implosion. |
| 2090 | * HandicappedBadass: He appears to be mute. Nonetheless, he can kick ass. |
| 2091 | * ImpaledPalm: Frequently interrogates people after nailing their hands to a table with a knife. |
| 2092 | * ImplacableMan: Being thrown out a window is a minor nuisance to him. A second later he's fled. |
| 2093 | * JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Interrogations by him frequently include beating, stabbing, and shooting. |
| 2094 | * KarmicDeath: He gets his own hand stabbed onto a truck's roof, a truck full of the explosive nitramine he was hunting. It promptly crashes into a lake with him pinned to it and explodes. |
| 2095 | * KickTheDog: Him killing Spider Raymond seems harsh, [[AssholeVictim but not unwarranted]]. What really cements him as evil is [[KillTheCutie when he murders Peggy's roommate Colleen]]. |
| 2096 | * MadeOfIron: Truly a hard man to kill, to put it mildly. |
| 2097 | * NoNameGiven: At first he's credited only as "Green Suit". Episode 3 then reveals his real name, posthumously. |
| 2098 | * OnlyAFleshWound: Getting his hand fried on a lit stove didn't slow him down either. A few bandages later and he's ready to throw punches again. |
| 2099 | * ScarilyCompetentTracker: Tracking down Carter in the middle of nowhere is no mean feat. |
| 2100 | * SilentAntagonist: Combined with being an ImplacableMan, this makes him quite unsettling. |
| 2101 | * TheSpeechless: Like other Leviathan agents, he cannot talk, and speaks through written notes or letters. Like Brannis, it's because he needed throat surgery after nearly surviving the massacre at Finow. The only sounds he ever makes onscreen are a hoarse shriek and a groan, usually when in pain. |
| 2102 | * StarterVillain: A major threat for the first two episodes. After his death he's replaced by Fennhoff and Dottie. |
| 2103 | * TheStoic: Besides being speechless, his expression doesn't change much either. There's only one moment where he's communicating with his employees where his icy expression changes to one of annoyance. |
| 2104 | * SuperPersistentPredator: Rivals the Winter Soldier in hunting. First he tracks Peggy to her home to kill her, and when flung out of a window, escapes the scene and later attacks her again on top of a moving truck. |
| 2105 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Kills Spider Raymond after Peggy steals his nitramine. |
| 2106 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: A mobster he interrogates is promptly killed soon after, along with anyone else who happened to be in the room at the time. |
