SHIELD/BRIDGE

Leadership

    Nick Fury 
The former director of SHIELD. He steps down and becomes the Number Two of the director of the newly formed BRIDGE, Maria Hill.
  • Number Two: Serves as this to Maria Hill.
  • Retired Badass: Downplayed. He is no longer the leader of SHIELD/BRIDGE, but he serves as an advisory role to the new leader.

    Maria Hill 
The former Number Two of Nick Fury. She is now the director of BRIDGE.
  • Number Two: Was this to Nick Fury in SHIELD. These days, he is this to her.
  • Rank Up: Was promoted to Director after Fury stepped down.
  • Ship Tease: Has a dash of this with Sam Wilson, as both are second-in-commands to certified badasses now leading their own teams.

Avengers

    Steven "Steve" Rogers / Captain America 
A Super-Soldier made in WWII. He was frozen and was unfrozen in present day.
  • Closet Geek: Secretly likes more than a little anime and geek culture, such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Gurren Lagann.
  • The Leader: Of the Avengers as a whole.
  • Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: A vibranium disc that is his weapon.
  • The Paragon: His steadfastness to his ideals and his Determinator attitude to always get back up after defeats are the reasons he's so inspiring to others.

    Natasha Romanov / Black Widow 
A spy trained by the Red Room, a Russian program for assassins. She later left that organization and joined SHIELD/BRIDGE.
  • The Mentor: Serves as this to two characters:
    • Often kicks Dial's butt on the battlefield to hone his combat abilities when he's not in alien form.
    • Serves as this to Ruby Hale after she and her mother defect to BRIDGE, both honing her skills as a Tyke Bomb assassin and balancing it with humanity.

    Anthony "Tony" Stark / Iron Man 
A former weapons manufacturer who decided to use his technological skills for good.

    Clint Barton / Hawkeye 
An archer and assassin.

    Robert "Bruce" Banner / Hulk 
A scientist who gained powers from gamma radiation.
  • Hulking Out: The Trope Namer. When the Hulk comes out, he gains inhuman levels of muscle and power.
  • My Sister Is Off-Limits: Isn't particularly happy when his cousin Jenny hooks up with Mahmoud.
  • Teach Him Anger: Dial does a version of this to Bruce via Fourarms and Percussive Therapy - to teach the Hulk and Bruce to stop holding each other back and channel their anger to beat their stronger enemies - like HYDRA after they kidnapped his cousin.

    Thor Odinson 
The Norse God of Thunder. He has decided to become one of Earth's protectors.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Drops in at the climax of the HYDRA attack to both help Tony and Hulk out with the Gamma mutates and stop John Garret from escaping.
  • Thunder Hammer: Mjolnir itself.
  • Shock and Awe: Again, God of Thunder.

Reserve Avengers

    Mahmoud Schahed / Dial 
An SI who finds himself in the MCU equipped with an Omnitrix.
  • Ascended Fanboy: Well, he's a self-insert with the Omnitrix in a Marvel universe, so...
    • He often goes out and buys superhero merchandise, of both the Avengers and the Winter Guard. There's a reason Tony always calls him "Fanboy".
  • Boxing Lessons for Superman: Once he's officially an Avenger, he starts training with Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanov and starts wearing the standard issue Armor Gear, just for those times the Omnitrix times out.
    • Later on, when he needs to really push his alien powers to the next level, he finds a new mentor in Ares, God of War.
  • Catchphrase: "Rude", when in alien form at times, something he says at least a few times during the story.
  • Character Development: Initially, he had a hangup about the Omnitrix being the only worthwhile thing that made him a hero, no matter how many skills he learned or how much tech he helped develop. After he gets stranded in the Savage Land with no tech and a damaged Omnitrix, the trial to get out of it helps reaffirm that he can be worthwhile without the watch.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: He doesn't hesitate to use the Omnitrix to become a hero and save people, running around at night saving civilians and even Jumped at the Call to help Captain America when the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier happen.
  • Combo Platter Powers: Many of the aliens have this, and the very ownership of the Omnitrix gives him this.
  • Genre Savvy: Thus far, Dial has managed to realize that most every person he knows that is important in this universe looks like a famous actor more often than not. So when he sees Michelle Rodriguez during a mission, he immediately pegs her as important. He's right, since she turns out to be Titania.
  • Homeless Hero: Dial spent his first few months in the MCU squatting in an abandoned building. It's downplayed since he had a legal construction job, he could Jury Rigg any amenities he wanted (including a supercomputer), and it wasn't long until the Call to Adventure came out.
  • The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Much like Ben, his personality sometimes changes based on the alien he becomes. Rath is the best example, lowering Dial's intelligence while also making him more aggressive.
    • To a smaller degree, when he pulls out NRG Russians tend to look at him funny because he sounds like he's affecting a Russian accent, despite that he has no control over that and it's just an artifact of the Omnitrix and the Alien itself.
  • Protagonist Title: The man himself.
  • Real Men Love Jesus: Mahmoud is Muslim, and is an inspiration to Kamala Khan because of it.
  • Self-Insert: Natch.
  • Skilled, but Naive: A few of his hero colleagues are starting to view Dial as this after working with him for some time. For all that Mahmoud is powerful, personable, and genuinely heroic, he still isn't a soldier and has trouble following orders to the letter, isn't as disciplined, and still goes off on vigilante runs without informing anyone, which could get him killed if he isn't careful.
  • Superpower Lottery: Just like Ben, of course, the Omnitrix and the aliens contained within are all the powers he needs.
  • Reed Richards Is Useless: While he hasn't gone too far yet, thus far Dial is trying to avert this. Using Jury Rigg, he's managed to create armor and weapons for BRIDGE alongside Tony and plans on making more technology for the world at large.

    Sam Wilson/Falcon 
A friend of Captain America. He serves as the leader of the Reserve Avengers.
  • Energy Weapon: His Armor Gear-enhanced wingsuit now comes with repulsors in addition to his regular machine pistols.
  • I Believe I Can Fly: Uses a suit with wings to fly.
  • Lampshade Hanging: In the informational section about Astrodactyl, he questions how a species naturally evolved Jetpacks.
  • Ship Tease: With Maria Hill, as they both commiserate of going from Number Twos of their more badass, qualified friends to leaders in their own right.

    James "Rhodey" Rhodes / War Machine 
A friend of Tony Stark who now has his own Powered Armor.

    Barbara "Bobbi" Morse / Mockingbird 
A SHIELD/BRIDGE agent skilled enough to join the Reserve Avengers.

    Isabelle "Izzy" Hartley / Warrior 
A SHIELD/BRIDGE agent skilled enough to join the Reserve Avengers.
  • Blood Knight: Bobbi often notes that Izzy will be upset if she misses fights.
  • Cool Sword: Often shows an appreciation for the broadsword form of the Armor Gear's weapons.
  • Ship Tease: With Creel, and soon they start sleeping together.

    James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes / Winter Soldier / Nomad 
A friend of Captain America from before WWII. He was brainwashed by HYDRA and kept young thanks to cryogenics. He is later freed and joined the Reserve Avengers.
  • Deprogram: He is freed of the brainwashing HYDRA put him through.
  • Headbutting Heroes: Is mentioned to have a few issues with Falcon as his team leader, since he respects Steve a lot more.
  • Heel–Face Turn: After he is deprogrammed from his HYDRA brainwashing, he joins the Reserve Avengers.

    Carl "Crusher" Creel / Absorbing Man / Alloy 
A metahuman who was captured and brainwashed by Hydra. He was freed of it and joined BRIDGE as a result.
  • Adaptive Ability: Thanks to his power to copy the properties of any material he touches onto his body, Creel can quickly adapt to situations as needed. As a member of BRIDGE, he wears a bracer full of samples of useful materials, from lightweight aerogel, to superdense osmium, to refined vibranium.
  • Alternate Company Equivalent: To Kevin Levin in a Mythology Gag sense. After all, he's a character that can absorb material properties and started out on the wrong side of the heroic Omnitrix user before becoming an ally.
  • Alliterative Name: Carl "Crusher" Creel.
  • The Atoner: Trying to make up for his past under mind control fighting for HYDRA.
  • Boxing Battler: Is an ex-boxer, and it shows in his fighting style.
  • Chrome Champion: When he turns into his metal forms.
  • Deprogram: He is freed of the brainwashing HYDRA put him through.
  • Headbutting Heroes: Doesn't get along with Vanguard due to the latter not wanting to work with a (former) criminal.
  • Heel–Face Turn: In the show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Creel was an antagonist of the team. Here, he's become a hero and Reserve Avenger codenamed 'Alloy' after being deprogrammed.
  • One Degree of Separation: Eventually meets with Matt Murdock/Daredevil, and is recognized as the last opponent Battlin' Jack Murdock ever faced and beat before he was killed for not throwing the fight.
  • Power Copying: Can absorb the physical properties of any material onto his body, from metal to stone. To take the most advantage of this, he has a bracelet with various materials he can touch and use, ranging from aerogel to vibranium.
  • Ship Tease: With Isabelle Hartley a.k.a. Warrior, especially after they start sleeping together.

    Jennifer "Jenny" Walters / She-Hulk 
The cousin of Bruce Banner. She was captured by HYDRA and experimented on using gamma radiation due to sharing the same gamma gene as her cousin.
  • Amazonian Beauty: As She-Hulk, she has turned a few heads and is easily on the high end of the strength spectrum.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Not to the extent of her comic counterpart, but she has displayed this ability once when Dial threatened to turn into Four Arms only to be told 'go ahead, it's been a few chapters!'
    • Later, she does this for real after Dial tells her of his real origins.
  • Character Development: After she is rescued, she finds that she likes her new strong self so much that she never turns back into Jennifer for a long period, not liking the weak woman she once was. When she finally does after a long and grueling fight with Mary MacPherson, she finds that it's not so bad after all (especially since her human form is still quite ripped).
  • Damsel in Distress: Was captured by HYDRA and infused with Gamma powers to be used against the Hulk until BRIDGE rescued her.
  • Official Couple: Eventually hooks up with Mahmoud.
  • The Rival: Has at least some of this with Letha (see below), the two being noted to snipe at each other while training.
  • Secret-Keeper: Like with X, Dial tells her about how he comes from a world where their world is fictional.
  • Statuesque Stunner: Confirmed to be anywhere between 7 and 8 feet tall. And well... it's SHE-HULK. Of course she's a stunner.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Pretty much anytime she's paired up with Dial. While he isn't noted to be particularly short in any sense, a lot of their conversations involve her looking down at him, at least until he transforms.

    Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch 
A Sokovian girl who, along with her twin brother Pietro, was given powers by exposure to Loki's scepter from HYDRA's experiments. She and Pietro initially worked with HYDRA to get revenge on Tony Stark for destroying her home, but after the Grapplers revealed the truth, they made plans to switch sides and join BRIDGE.
  • Adaptational Wimp: When Dial first sees her in action, he is surprised at how scared she is compared to her appearance in the comics. Time will tell if she will grow out of this.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Once she found out the truth about their home's destruction, she and her twin made plans with the Grapplers to switch sides.
  • Jumped at the Call: After spending time under probation, when she gets the opportunity to become a member of the Reserve Avengers, she takes the chance to do more good in the world.

Team SHIELD

    Phil Coulson 
An agent of SHIELD/BRIDGE who deals with many unusual threats.

    Melinda May / The Cavalry 
An elite agent that has been a part of Coulson's team from day one.

    Skye / Mary Sue Poots 
A hacker who was recruited by Coulson.
  • Ambiguously Human: Appears completely human, but there's something otherworldly in her genome that Dial can't identify yet.
  • Hollywood Hacking: She is able to hack almost anything.
  • Powered Armor: Builds a set with Dial's help, and customizes it to better fit her aesthetic.
  • Unfortunate Names: The reason she prefers being called Skye.

    Jemma Simmons 
A scientist in Coulson's team. She later leaves that team to work for Tony Stark and helps him and Dial create new technology.
  • Everyone Can See It: She has a thing for Fitz. When even Bruce Banner calls her out on it, she admits that she might want to talk to him about it.

    Otto Octavius 
Fitz's replacement as the tech expert on Team Coulson.
  • Adaptational Heroism: So far he is a jovial cybernetics expert, without much penchant for physical combat. Time will tell if this change.
  • Artificial Limbs: He has already created a prototype of his cybernetic arms.

    Melati Kusuma / Komodo 
Simmons's replacement as the biologist on Team Coulson. Is also a Graveyard survivor that was mutated by the experiments there. After being cured, she experimented on herself, resulting in her current form.
  • Lizard Folk: Appears as a humanoid, female lizard as a result of self-experimentation.

Support Team and Other Agents

    JARVIS 
An AI made by Tony.
  • Robot Butler: His robot body is literally dressed as a stereotypical butler.

    X 
An AI made by Dial out of the mainframe that once held Arnim Zola's memories.
  • Do-Anything Robot: Averted. His robot chassis is built for superior strength and durability and little else, with the only firepower being whatever guns he physically carries. Tony even laments the lack of bells and whistles.
  • Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Gives his robot chassis a cowboy aesthetic, complete with spurs, cowboy hat, and accent.
  • Secret-Keeper: He is the first one Dial told about how Marvel and the Omnitrix are fiction where he's from.

    Frank Castle / The Punisher 
A grizzled soldier and veteran that was picked to become an elite BRIDGE agent.
  • Action Dad: One perk of his job is that he gets to spend more time with his wife Maria and his children Lisa and Frank Jr.
  • Badass Normal: Other than his new standard issue Armor Gear, he's just a really good soldier.
  • Horrifying the Horror: Was so insanely brutal during the Rio timequake reclamation that even literal demons fled at the sight of him.

    Ruby Hale 
A teenage girl groomed from birth by HYDRA to be the ideal assassin. After HYDRA fell, her mother turned herself and her daughter in to BRIDGE and she began rehabilitation.
  • Adorably Precocious Child: Despite her insanely lethal skills as an assassin, Natasha, Clint, Bucky and Melinda May all think she's too cute to be really scary.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: Takes this attitude with Natasha at first, until Black Widow smacks some sense into her. She's more of this around Mahmoud, who just calls her "midget" in return.
  • Odd Friendship: With Shuri, Princess of Wakanda. Also with Mahmoud.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: Talented she may be, but when she gets violent at Natasha for not marching to her tune, the Black Widow is more than experienced enough to give her a reality check.
  • Tyke Bomb: Was genetically selected, trained and informed from birth that she was HYDRA's star, their inhuman assassin that would become infamous throughout the world.

The Initiative

    General 
  • Heel–Face Turn: A BRIDGE program to help reform enhanced individuals that deserve a second chance.

    Victoria Hand 
  • Da Chief: The commander of this sub-team to help keep the individuals in line.
  • Only Sane Woman: Is frequently seen exasperated at the antics of her charges.

    Ava Starr / Ghost 
A metahuman who has intagibility powers. She worked for SHIELD before deciding to work for BRIDGE.
  • Blessed with Suck: Her quantum affliction causes her to uncontrollably phase in and out with reality, all the while wracked with pain. Getting a cure with BRIDGE's quantum resources is the only reason she is giving the organization one more chance.
    • Later chapters reveal that the "Suck" has been greatly lessened, as BRIDGE scientists have found a way to greatly lessen her pain.
  • Headbutting Heroes: Initially butts heads with Dial and his happy-go-lucky attitude.

    Michael "Mike" Peterson / Deathlok 
A former SHIELD agent who was turned into a cyborg by HYDRA.
  • Cyborg: Due to HYDRA's augmentations, with everything from an Arm Cannon to Rocket Boots.
  • Heel–Face Turn: As soon as his son's free of HYDRA, he begins working for BRIDGE.
  • I Have Your Wife: Or in this case, son; the only reason he is working for HYDRA is because they're holding his son Ace hostage. Once Team Coulson rescues him, Deathlok turns on the terrorist group mid-fight.

    Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver 
One of a pair of twins who gained powers thanks to HYDRA experiments. He defected alongside his sister after finding out HYDRA's role in the destruction of their home.
  • Distressed Dude: Was temporarily sedated during the attack on HYDRA, and used as a decoy to allow Baron Strucker to escape.
  • I Choose to Stay: Joined the Initiative/Grapplers as part of his probationary period, but when he and Wanda were given the opportunity to transfer to the Reserve Avengers, only his twin sister took the offer.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He might wear on people's nerves at times, and he did join HYDRA, but as soon as he hears of a french speedster who can't slow down at all, he pulls Fastrack in and gives the poor man his first normal human contact in months.
  • Mundane Utility: His speed makes him really good at paperwork, which means that busywork isn't really a punishment option for him if he acts up.

The Grapplers

    General 
  • Amazon Brigade: They're a team of super-strong women. You do the math.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Originally they were mercenaries who were hired by HYDRA, but seeing how nefarious they were gave them the incentive to flip, especially after Titania was captured. Eventually, they become a part of the Initiative.
  • One Degree of Separation: They were experimented on by Dr. Karl Malus, the same person that gave Jessica Jones her powers.
  • Sole Survivor: The four of them were the only survivors of their high school wrestling team when their bus got in a wreck; everyone else was killed.
  • Super-Strength/Super-Toughness: Thanks to Dr. Malus's experiments, all of them have this to varying degrees.
  • True Companions: All of them would do anything for the others.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: They were high school wrestlers before their accident.

    Davida Devito / Titania 
The leader of the Grapplers.
  • Alliterative Name: Davida Devito.
  • Love Potion: Can instil fanatic love in her targets, enough that they would kill for her.
    • Unfortunately, it goes into Gone Horribly Right territory when she uses this on the Appoplexian Rath, as his species expresses romantic love by beating the crap out of said lover.
  • Sizeshifter: Can increase her size and height to a noticeable degree.

    Helen Feliciano / Letha 
  • Hate Plague: Similar to Titania, she can induce intense hate in her targets, causing them to become Blinded by Rage.
  • Team Mom: Was the first to wake up after the experiment that gave them powers, and immediately put all her efforts into creating a safe home for the rest when they woke up later, even if it meant mercenary work.

    Marian Pouncy / Poundcakes 
  • Gentle Giant: Is easily the largest and strongest among her friends, but is also the shyest and most soft-spoken.

    Melissa 'Mimi' Gold / Songbird 
  • Make Me Wanna Shout: Dr. Malus's experiments equipped her with modified vocal cords and a special harness, enabling her to unleash sonic blasts and to forge objects out of solid sound.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Is the smallest of the Grapplers, but still tough enough to match super soldiers even discounting her powers.

Associates

    Virginia "Pepper" Potts / Rescue 
The CEO of Stark Enterprises and Tony Stark's girlfriend.
  • Call to Adventure: She only got the armor at first to fly with Tony, but after some news pundits criticized her for not doing any hero work despite her tools, she decided to slowly get in on the action.
  • The Joy of First Flight: Experienced this with Tony after getting used to her armor.
  • Powered Armor: Was given the Rescue armor as a present by Jury Rigg.

    Matthew Murdock / Daredevil 
A blind lawyer hired by Mahmoud to handle his legal work, who also moonlights as a vigilante around Hell's Kitchen at night.
  • Handicapped Badass: His blindness doesn't hold him back when kicking ass.
  • My Suit Is Also Super: Knowing Matt's identity, Mahmoud commissioned him a catom-based suit similar to BRIDGE's Armor Gear, that will protect him from most forms of damage and even baffle his senses in case a villain tries Sensory Overload on him.
  • Super-Senses: The toxic waste that blinded him also enhanced all his other senses.

Winter Guard

    In General 
  • Dirty Business: One main (unstated) reason they were formed was in response to the Avengers, in case the US ever gets plans to use them to invade or if one of them turn rogue. Only a couple find that potential appealing, and Fantasma outright calls it a worst-case scenario.
  • Friendly Enemy: Even if they were created in response to the Avengers, this does not stop Dial from befriending some of them. He even calls Fantasma a frenemy.
  • Propaganda Hero: Probably not by choice, but the Russian government does influence several of its aspects, like putting on a strong face in front of the Avengers.

    Mikhail Uriokovitch / Ursa Major 
The liaison between the Russian government and the Winter Guard, who also proves to have powers of his own.
  • Animorphism: Can shapeshift into a gigantic bear-man.
  • Discard and Draw: Is promoted to the main Winter Guard roster after Fantasma is transferred to the Avengers.
  • Hand Cannon: Carries an RSh-12, a revolver that fires sniper-caliber bullets.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: Was introduced as the Winter Guard's military liaison, with no indication that he was a metahuman himself. When the Bus came under attack by Red Ghost's cyber-monkeys, he soon proved he had the chops.
  • One Degree of Separation: Is acquainted with Natasha and the Red Room.
  • Parental Substitute: To Fantasma; he mentored her after the Russian government conscripted her and taught her to love her powers. Coulson compares it to his own relationship with Skye.

    Nikolai Krylenko / Vanguard 
A soldier who volunteered to receive powers for his country.
  • Captain Patriotic: Perhaps the most obvious example. He's a Super-Soldier like Cap, also wields a shield, and fights purely for his country.
  • Headbutting Heroes: Is incredibly honorable, and thus detests the idea of working alongside a literal God of Evil, or ex-cons like Alloy. His superior Mikhail has to take him aside when he starts calling Creel out. That said, he's honestly flattered when Captain America compliments his outfit and seems to enjoy the opportunitiy to work alongside professionals.

    Fantasma 
An amnesiac woman who was taken in by the Russian government after displaying her powers.

    Sergei Kravinoff / The Hunter 
A hunter who was recruited because of his ability to hunt and kill anything.
  • Badass Normal: Has no need for anything other than his bare hands and a bowie knife to match superhumans.
  • Blood Knight: Finds the whole idea of civilization weak, and only joined the Winter Guard for the chance to fight other metahumans (particularly the Avengers).
  • Jumped at the Call: The second he heard about a mission in the Savage Land, he is on a plane there before anyone can approve of it.
  • The Knights Who Say "Squee!": When he hears about all the dinosaurs and man-eating monstrosities in the Savage Land, he's barely able to contain his glee.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Not 'token', but he is the only one who outright relishes the idea of potentially hunting the Avengers. Particularly Dial, who can transform into any one of a million creatures never before hunted.

    Galina Nemirovsky / Crimson Dynamo 
A Russian genius who made her own Powered Armor.

    Chernobog 
The literal god from mythology. He joined because Winter Guard wanted a powerhouse and because he thought it would be fun.
  • Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: Made a deal with a man named Aleksei Smirnov, who he agreed to cure his cancer and give him immortality in exchange for using his body as a time-share.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Not 'token', but he is a literal soul-stealer that kills for pleasure, who even his own allies find off-putting. The only reason he is on the team is as a contemporary (and potential match) for either Thor or the Hulk.
  • Troll: Dial outright calls him one, as he switches between affable and assholish at the drop of a hat. He goes from outright telling Dial that the Winter Guard has contingencies to defeat the Avengers, to admitting plans to go on a sightseeing tour of every Bald Mountain in the US.
    Chernobog: I love this new world. So much more fun. I love seeing all the little ways people act out.

    Laynia Petrovna / Darkstar 
Vanguard's twin sister.
  • Discard and Draw: Is promoted to the main Winter Guard roster after Fantasma is transferred to the Avengers.

HYDRA

    Strucker 
A high ranking member of HYDRA who took control of all the remaining members after the attack by SHIELD/BRIDGE.
  • Bald of Evil: He is bald and the evil leader of HYDRA.
  • Red Right Hand: He has a powerful gauntlet that allows him to safely wield Loki's scepter.
  • Took a Level in Badass: After suffering setbacks due to SHIELD/BRIDGE, Strucker has decided to enhance himself. He then uses these enhancements to overthrow the aliens backing HYDRA.

    Emil Blonsky / Abomination 
A soldier who received an injection of an imitation Super Soldier serum and a gamma radiation treatment, turning him into a berserk gamma metahuman.

    Rana Phillips / Aberration 
A woman who was experimented on by HYDRA to become something similar to the Abomination.
  • The Brute: She's a gamma-enhanced human like the Hulk and Abomination.
  • A Lighter Shade of Black: Like Abomination, she revels in her new power. Unlike him, she isn't completely driven insane by a desire to fight.

Intelligencia

    Samuel Sterns / The Leader 
A scientist who gained super intelligence from exposure to Gamma radiation.
  • Evil Genius: As in the comics, he essentially has this as his only superpower. He's been one of HYDRA's best assets, designing technology, creating more gamma mutants and holding back the various Artificial Intelligences in the series from discovering HYDRA's secret base, despite how advanced X and Jarvis are.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: As people point out repeatedly, he might have read thousands of books on all subjects but he has no actual experience in various fields. Baron Strucker sees his betrayal from a mile off and Klaue completely dominates their negotiations despite technically being a prisoner.
  • The Starscream: Even after entering a Big Bad Duumvirate with Baron Strucker, he always planned on absconding with some of their tech once their alliance was no longer beneficial. Sadly for him, Strucker easily saw it coming.

    Ulysses Klaue 
A weapons dealer who has earned the ire of Wakanda.
  • An Arm and a Leg: He loses an arm after Black Widow blows up the gun he is using.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Not even being attacked or imprisoned will shut him up.
  • Motor Mouth: Ulysses Klaue irritates just about everyone he interacts with with this nonstop talking.
  • Only Sane Man: For a given value of "Sane." He's still a Bunny-Ears Lawyer, but compared to The Leader, who's so enamored with his own intelligence that he doesn't understand how the real world works, or Kragaoff, who is a Russian Ultra-nationalist, Klaue is the only member of the Intelligencia who gets people and is able to plan successful strategies in the field.
  • Smarter Than You Look: He acts like a buffoon, but he is sharper than he lets on. Within minutes of meeting the Leader, he realized why he was captured and how inexperienced the gamma genius really was.

    Ivan Kragoff 
A Russian scientist who believes that the only way for Russia to remain great is to attack other countries.
  • Intangible Man: Possesses some ability that allows him to phase through attacks at will.
  • Patriotic Fervor: He believes in the Russia he grew up with, and doesn't want the country to change.

Dial's Aliens

Big Chill

Blitzwolfer

  • Make Me Wanna Shout: Blitzwolfer's signature ability. It's so powerful that the target's ears will bleed from the intensity of the blast.

Diamondhead

  • Gemstone Assault: Summons a mountain that prevents the Insight Hellicarriers from escaping.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Shards of Diamondhead Crystals were used to create Laura, essentially a female Wolverine with crystals instead of Adamantium.

Fourarms

  • The Big Guy: He's one of the rare number that can stand toe-to-toe with Hulk.

Jury Rigg

  • The Smart Guy: Adept in technology. His skills proves vital for the Avengers when he develops the Hercules app in exposing all Hydra agents.

NRG

  • Aliens of London: NRG has a Russian accent which causes friction from the Winter Guard who thinks that Dial is purposely doing the accent.

Wildmutt

  • Terror Hero: Dial and the Avengers uses Wildmutt to scare the pants out of enemies. One thug considers it to be the Devil's Hound.
