History Characters / MCUSHIELD

* ImproperlyParanoid: They see Phil's favoritism over Skye (who is like a daughter to him and is a teammate) when she develops her inhuman abilities, his manhunt for criminals in the index (most of which were detained by S.H.I.E.L.D. in the first place to protect the public) and his secrets regarding Theta Protocol ([reconstructing the Helicarrier for extreme emergencies, something that becomes vitally important in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'') as a nefarious plot where he is building an army of powered people for World Domination.

* GoodCounterpart: To HYDRA.

----

* DemotedToExtra: Was originally the linchpin that brought the Avengers and the entire SharedUniverse together. However, they fall to pieces in ''The Winter Soldier'' thanks to the HYDRA reveal, play a minor role in ''Age of Ultron'', and is mostly forgotten in the Phase 3 films, with the only references being the TV show (which has yet to crossover with the films) and some passing mentions in ''Ant-Man'', ''Civil War'', and ''Ant-Man and the Wasp'', and it's not until ''Captain Marvel'' (which is set before their disintegration) that the organization is prominently featured.

* AntiHero: As a whole, S.H.I.E.L.D. might be ultimately "on the side of the angels" (so to speak), but it's not that big of a surprise in retrospect that HYDRA was able to infiltrate them. In ''Endgame'', [[spoiler:when Tony and Steve travel to the 70s and visit their base in New Jersey which was the place where the Captain America experiment and the Arnim Zola AI was housed, Iron Man calls them "quasi-fascistic" which Captain America doesn't challenge or respond to]].

!!''Lola''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bscap0045_4915.png]]

->''"Don't touch Lola."''
-->-- '''Several characters'''

A '62 red Corvette that Coulson helped his father restore. Coulson has since made his own modifications to the car.
----
* NumberOneDime: In Season 2, Coulson explains that its sentimental value comes from the fact that his dad was a car guy, and they together restored a certain red '62 Corvette.
* BrickJoke: Remember how Lola can fly? Comes in handy in "Seeds". The ability becomes a ChekhovsGun in "Nothing Personal," when her flying ability saves Coulson and Skye. Coulson is later able to restore her but only after getting S.H.I.E.L.D. back to ops, though apparently he never got around to fixing her flight capability.
* CargoShip: [[invoked]]
** Several other characters - including Skye, Maria Hill and Nick Fury - take Coulson's professed love for Lola quite seriously. Skye even echoes Coulson's warning of "don't touch Lola" to a group of visitors when he's not around to do so himself.
** Coulson eventually reveals that when he was a boy, his father restored a '62 Corvette and had his son help; the young Phil was upset and wished he was out with his friends... until he saw how beautiful the finished product was. Lola is implied to be ''that'' car, but either way it's clear she has sentimental value to him because she brings back fond memories of his late father.
* CompanionCube: Coulson refers to his car the same way he would a member of his team. Nick Fury even once asked how "she was doing."
-->'''Reyes:''' There's the flying man-cave, the hot red sports car--\\
'''Coulson:''' Her name is Lola.\\
'''Reyes:''' Of ''course'' it is.
* CoolCar: A red Corvette that can fly.
* FlyingCar: Lola is equipped with a version of Howard Stark's early repulsor technology as demonstrated in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''.
* FunWithAcronyms: '''L'''evitating '''O'''ver '''L'''and '''A'''utomobile.
* HatesBeingTouched:
** According to Coulson, who tells everyone not to touch her.
** Agent Blake makes a point of loudly running his finger along Lola's side as he walks off the Bus in "FZZT" to piss Coulson off.
** It's given a MeaningfulEcho in "The Magical Place" when, as she's kicked off the Bus on Agent Hand's orders, Skye tells her and everyone else still on board, "Don't touch Lola."
** Skye is naturally upset when Ward and Deathlok shoot her up as she and Coulson use her to escape the Bus, which Ward had captured.
** Once Creator/EmilyVanCamp [[http://33.media.tumblr.com/0631232a90c26d633ecd35ae17ba3c30/tumblr_neniljQHvU1su6zr6o1_500.gif touched Lola in a Marvel special]], the fandom went nuts... but [[IfItsYouItsOK Coulson himself]] [[https://twitter.com/clarkgregg/status/530085312509542400 sees no problem]]. ([[TheVamp Lorelei]] [[https://twitter.com/clarkgregg/status/443548089094111232 apparently has a pass too]]).
** He lets Skye drive her in the Season 2 finale, though this is partly out of necessity, since he only has one hand, which would make driving difficult.
** In "The Patriot", May (or rather, her LMD) tells Daisy that Coulson once let her drive Lola in an early mission of theirs.
* MidLifeCrisisCar: Camilla accuses her of being this. Coulson says she's more of an ''after''life crisis car.
* PutOnABus: After being a regular fixture in Season 1, she's rarely seen in Season 2, but occasionally referenced; mostly by Mack, who's angling to do some work on her. Lola reappears in "One Door Closes", when Coulson finally offers Mack a peek under the hood. Completely absent in Season 3, though Lola starts to reappear in Season 4 when Coulson becomes a field agent again. She disappears for good after that; at best she was confiscated by the US government after S.H.I.E.L.D. lost the Playground base (and Coulson had bigger things to worry about than retrieving her). [[spoiler:Lola ''finally'' returns in the [[BackForTheFinale last minutes of the series finale]], with the Coulson LMD flying her off [[CallBack just like]] Coulson did at the end of the series pilot.]]
* WeaponizedCar: Lola has a pair of [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} Aston Martin DB5]]-like machine guns that pop out from the front lights, as Ward and Deathlok found out the hard way. According to Fitz, she also has flamethrowers that we have yet to see in action as well as the world's first GPS.

[[folder:Nick Fury's SUV]]
!!''Nick Fury's SUV''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nick_furys_suv.png]]
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Creator/RobertClotworthy
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''

->'''Nick Fury:''' Get me Agent Hill!\\
'''Car's AI:''' Communications array damaged.\\
'''Nick Fury:''' Well, what's '''not''' damaged?\\
'''Car's AI:''' Air conditioning is fully operational.

The heavily armored Chevrolet Suburban that was used by S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury to get around safely. It can talk through its artificial intelligence equipped in it.

* AutomatedAutomobiles: With the control of the AI, it can be turned into this temporarily if its driver allows it or the driver is incapacitated.
* ArtificialIntelligence: An artificial intelligence is installed into the car, although unlike [[Film/IronMan J.A.R.V.I.S.]] or [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron F.R.I.D.A.Y.]], it is apparently non-sentient.
* BenevolentAI: It is capable of projecting a HUD onto the windshield of the vehicle, giving visual indication of armor integrity, possible escape routes and other pertinent information. The vehicle is also capable of self-driving if the driver is incapacitated.
* CaptainObvious: After HYDRA assassins had shot the car up with hundreds of bullets:
-->'''Car's AI:''' Warning: Window integrity compromised.\\
'''Nick Fury:''' ''You think?!''
* CarFu: Since its flying capability has been damaged and it can't help Nick Fury to escape by flying, so it has to rely on ground fighting and deadly dodging to fight back HYDRA assassins.
* CoolCar: It is heavily-armored and equipped with AI, a Gatling gun, and med-kit. Flight capability is also mentioned.
* CrazyPrepared: You wouldn't think a common-looking SUV would be ''this'' well-prepared for a heavily-armed ambush.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Averted. The car doesn't explode even after it's wrecked by Winter Soldier's magnetic disk grenade.
* FlyingCar: It has flight capabilities but alas, Fury was informed that the SUV's flight systems were too damaged to be used during his confrontation with HYDRA.
* LiteralMinded: The AI is helpful and reliable, but unlike J.A.R.V.I.S., it's a bit too literal in interpreting its boss' rhetorical question.
* MadeOfIron: It is armored like a tank and requires nothing less than lots of bullets and accumulative damage. In the end the assassins resort to a pneumatic battering ram to break the window.
* MoreDakka: A four-barreled machine gun turret with under barrel grenade launcher can be activated in the center armrest, just in case.
* NoNameGiven: Unlike Lola, it's not named.
* NonHumanSidekick: It's the only thing accompanying Nick Fury throughout his assassination attempt.
* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: "What's NOT damaged?" Fury does not care that the air conditioning is working during an assassination attempt.
* ServileSnarker: One would almost think that Fury's car is run by J.A.R.V.I.S.'s cousin or Fury may have just walked into this one with a completely LiteralMinded machine.
-->'''Nick Fury:''' Well what's '''not''' damaged?\\
'''Car's AI:''' Air conditioning is fully operational.
* ShoutOut: The previous actor who portrayed Nick Fury in the 1998 television movie ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Fury:_Agent_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(film) Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.]]'', Creator/DavidHasselhoff, also had a talking car in ''Series/KnightRider''.
* SpearCounterpart: To [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Phil Coulson's Lola]] considering that it is entirely practical in its design and has no sentiment attached to it. Coulson addresses Lola as a 'she', and this car has a male voice AI.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: An entire team of HYDRA assassins riddle it with assault rifle fire. Given how heavily armored the thing is, anything less wouldn't have even been a bother. When they get tired of their bullets bouncing off the glass, they go to Plan B: the assassins deploys a pneumatic battering ram to break the window. Fury responds with a minigun that takes out most of the assassins, and blows up their van and a squad car. This means they resort to Plan C: try to shoot at him during the resulting police chase. When Fury manages to trick the police cars into getting T-boned by a box rental truck, they resort to Plan D: have the Winter Soldier fire a sticky bomb that attaches itself to the underside of Fury's car and flips the car on its roof. Fury still escaped.
* WeaponizedCar: It is a Chevrolet Suburban equipped with a four-barreled turret with under barrel grenade launcher was fitted in the center armrest, and capable of being used by the passenger or driver to fend off enemies.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last time we see it is after the Winter Soldier heavily damaged it with his magnetic disk grenade. It's implied the police seized it as evidence.
