Kenshiro "Zero" Cochrane
Debut: Ghost Rider 2099 #1
A new, high-tech Spirit of Vengeance who stalks the streets of Transverse City and struggles against the evil corporate entity D/Monix.
- Catchphrase: Along with the rest of 2099's Future Slang, Zero gets extensive mileage out of calling people "pusbags".
- Chainsaw Good: Has a chainsaw for a hand.
- Flaming Sword: In this case, it's a hellfire chainsaw hand.
- Haunted Technology: What he is in the original and 2019 edition. For the 2019 edition, the Hotwire Martyrs were trying to jack power cells from a SHIELD transport, there were no batteries. Instead there was a combat robot that's going to D/Monix corporation from streetsweeping the homeless. When the Hotwire Martyrs were blown up along with Kenshiro, Johnny Blaze the King of Ghostworks (the Hell of this timeline) puts Kenshiro's spirit inside of the robot.
- Hollywood Hacking: Was a member of the Hotwire Martyrs, a street gang who, in the future world of 2099, use hacking to commit most of their crimes.
- Holographic Disguise: His robotic body has a hologram projector that could make him look like anyone, including his old flesh-and-blood body.
- Shapeshifter: Due to his cybernetic nature, he could reshape his body at will. This includes changing his fingers into blades Sharpened to a Single Atom.
- Skelebot 9000: His robotic body looks like a T-800 from The Terminator.
Ravage
Paul-Phillip
Debut: Ravage 2099 #1
The former head of ECO Central, he quit the company in the most spectacular way possible after finding out that they were deliberately covering up evidence of their own pollution and blamed it on innocents, going as far as to kill people.
- '90s Anti-Hero: Rough features, incredibly muscled, Hot-Blooded, all around savage... yeah, he fits.
- Awesome, but Impractical: When he gets his energy blasts, he can't control them at all. And on top of that, firing them drains his energy, because it has to come from somewhere.
- Anyone Can Die: Doom eventually kills him and his entire cast with liquid adamantium and hurls them in space.
- Barbarian Hero: IN A CYBERPUNK DYSTOPIA! But really not fully realized until he flees Nuevo York and sets out into the badlands.
- Barbarian Longhair: While at work he keeps in in a ponytail, but he lets it loose after he quits.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: As part of his savage image.
- The Cameo: He briefly appears in Spider-Man 2099 vol.3 as a member of the resistance against SHIELD.
- Carpet of Virility: He's a pretty hairy guy. In his words, he doesn't expect to win any beauty contests.
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: Doom just up and killed everyone. Ravage and his supporting cast.
- Experienced Protagonist: Before he got his comfy job in ECO, he was the head of the company's combat troupes and personally supervised their training.
- Fiery Redhead: Bright red hair and a lot of rage.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: Goes on the run after being publicly accused of being a collaborator with the evil mutroids. Things get cleared up in later issues, where he resumes his office and starts doing heroism in private.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Throughout his origin issue, he trusts in the establishment and his Corrupt Corporate Executive boss. In his backstory, he joined a revolution against the US government to fight against corporate corruption and hazardous waste mismanagement... which was backed by the world's biggest case of Toxic, Inc..
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: Started out as a mere gun-toting muscleman, then got some laster-blasting powers from his time on Hellrock, and finally got the ability to change into a Beast Man.
- Original Generation: There's no non-2099 Ravage.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: During the "Fall of the Hammer" story arc, he's less than thrilled that he has to work with Spider-Man or Doom. The feeling is mutual.
- Token Minority: Never actually confirmed, but his name strongly implies that he has French origins.
- Took a Level in Badass: Twice. First, he was infected with the radiation of Hellrock Island, and thanks to the timely intervention of one of its residents, he got the ability to fire energy blasts from his hands. Secondly, after than radiation settled, he got the ability to shift in a form that vaguely resembles a boar, complete with horns, fangs and claws.
Hulk 2099
John Eisenhart
"You know those stories that the angrier the Hulk gets, the stronger he gets? They were true!"
Debut: 2099 Unlimited #1
A "concept hunter" for Hollywood, John Eisenhart ran into the Knights of Banner where he found out that they were running illegal experiments on humans trying to recreate the Hulk. He called the police on them, but the ensuing shootout resulted in the deaths of each of the knights, the abduction of an innocent boy, and an accident that led to him become the new Hulk. With his newfound strength and a massive change of heart, he's now trying to right his wrongs.
- Alternate Self: A version of him in Exiles gets possessed by Proteus, and dies as a result, causing that reality to branch off from the regular 2099 continuity.
- Anyone Can Die: In 2099 AD Apocalypse, he goes out via Suicide by Cop.
- The Cameo:
- He is a member of the Defenders in Secret Wars 2099.
- He also appears in Spider-Man 2099 vol.3 as part of the resistance against SHIELD.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Unlike Bruce Banner, John doesn't have any Split Personality problems. He can control his transformations at will, keeps the exact same level of clarity in either form, and unlike Banner, his Hulk form is genuinely heroic and is seen as a hero by all those who meet him. He also looks far more monstrous than the original Hulk, is not a scientist but more of an artist, and underwent a Heel–Face Turn.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: He was originally a cold-hearted Hollywood producer who was perfectly willing to sacrifice others to save his own skin.
- Genius Bruiser: When he fights as the Hulk, he's using his wits as much as his brawn, For instance he lured a water monster to a snowy mountain peak to freeze it, or he faked a Face–Heel Turn to trick his captor and save the bystanders from a hostage situation.
- Heel–Face Turn: Coming face-to-face with the consequences of his actions was enough to make him reevaluate his mindset and try to be a better person.
- I Work Alone: He repeatedly tries to convince his Sidekick Quirk to stay away from all the gunfights that he gets into, but she's not hearing any of it.
- Legacy Character: Of the original Hulk.
- Made of Iron: He's incredibly tough, but not invulnerable.
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: He has two rows of teeth. Very sharp teeth.
- Overly-Long Tongue: Another thing that distinguishes him from the present day Hulk is a long tongue regularly sticking out of his mouth that could make Venom jealous.
- Suicide by Cop: His death.
- Unstoppable Rage: "You know those stories that the angrier the Hulk gets, the stronger he gets? They were true!"
Doom 2099
Dr. Victor Von Doom
Debut: Doom 2099 #1
What do you do when you wake up in the middle of nowhere, find out that everything you've worked for has been destroyed, your people are suffering under tyrannical rule, and the whole world is governed by corruption, and the planet is slowly dying?
For Doctor Doom, the answer is obvious. You take it all back. And destroy everything that stands in way.
This page only cover tropes that apply in his appearances in the 2099 comics. For the rest of his comics, look at his own page.
- A Lighter Shade of Black: He's still a villain, but he's also a far better alternative than the corrupt corporations that rule the world. Ironically, his takeover of the United States greatly improves the lives of its citizens, as his reforms cut down pollution, reduce corruption and make all the necessary items more readily available. He's also a man of his word who rewards loyalty.
- Adaptational Heroism: Doom is a Villain Protagonist, but he does develop into a better person who is actually concerned with helping people. In contrast to how petty he's usually written as, Doom successfully improves the world and makes a Heroic Sacrifice to defeat the Phalanx.
- Adaptational Villainy: In the 2019 reboot, Doom has erased all memory of superheroes and villains and lets the corruption run rampant, resulting in a 2099 that was even worse than the original.
- Alternate Self: In the 2019 reboot, there are two Dooms running around. The second one is revealed to be Reed Richards possessed by Doom, in a near identical manner to Superior Spider Man. The second one is also much closer to characterization to the original Doom 2099.
- Ambiguous Situation: Is this version of Doom the real deal or an imposter who really thinks he's Doom? His amnesia is not helping matters.
- Anyone Can Die: He pulls a Heroic Sacrifice against the Phalanx.
- Character Development: Doom 2099 is less bombastic, doesn't go into hammy rants, cares about others and will abandon his plans and risk his life to save innocent people. In one issue, he even bows to a Wakandan princess in a gesture of respect. When he time travelled to the past and met up with present-day Doom, he was less than impressed.Doom 2099: Gad! Was I really such a boor?
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: One of the major wardrobe differences between this Doom and original flavor Doom is this one wears blue, rather than green.
- The Extremist Was Right: Doom spends of most his series skirting around
Moral Event Horizon in regards to his enemies, but eventually his reforms significantly improve the lives of the people around him. - Grand Theft Me: An accidental case in the 2019 issue. The Reveal at the end is that an accident with Doom's Time Machine involving Reed Richards resulted in Doom's consciousness being imprinted in Richards' brain and taking over.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He gave his life to save the world from the menace of the Phalanx.
- I Hate Past Me: As noted under "Character Development", Doom 2099 really doesn't like being reminded of the rather uppity and boorish person he used to be when he meet the classic Dr. Doom.
- Noble Demon: He follows a strict code of honour that rewards loyalty and fights against corruption.
- Not Me This Time: In the 2019 reboot, Doom claims that he had nothing to do with reality collapsing. Miguel doesn't believe him at all, but he has no choice but to go with it. Technically true, it‘s the other Doctor Doom who’s responsible.
- Pragmatic Villainy: In this interpretation, Doctor Doom always rewards loyalty, doesn't take any action that will not benefit his plans in some way, and does not hesitate to cooperate with other heroes if it means getting results.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: As ruler of Latveria and later President of the United States. He at one point offers a group of Spider-ites (former Thor worshippers who now venerate Spider-Man, much to Miguel's discomfort) an official Presidential permit to protest his administration, as long as they do so during normal business hours. When Miguel questions why he would do such a thing, Doom simply asks if a small group of protestors should bother him as long as they're aren't harming anyone.
- Spikes of Villainy: Averted, despite his outfit having spikes on his shoulders. Well... anti-villainous, maybe.
- Tomato in the Mirror: Ultimately subverted. It's implied initially that the Doom there might not be the real Doom, given he doesn't recall how he ended up in the future and his face was healed when he first appeared but that was later explained that he was really Doom, and what happened with his memories was a trick to mess with him.
Daredevil 2099
Samuel Fisk
Debut: 2099 A.D. Genesis #1
Sam spent his entire childhood hearing his grandfather gloating over his past victories against Daredevil. And he felt sick. Years later, even though his grandfather has long passed, he still feels the shackles of his villainous legacy... and the need to atone for it. And despite being a lawyer, he knows that isn't enough.
- Adaptation Personality Change: In his appearance in 2099 Genesis, he is far more ruthless, with strong Terror Hero vibes and even goes as far as to indirectly sentence a drug dealer to death. That version of the character was vaguely based on a draft proposed by Mark Waid.
- Affirmative-Action Legacy: Inverted. Sam is an average middle-aged white guy with a lot of money in his pocket, and he does not stand out in any way.
- The Atoner: He wants to make up in any way possible for the damage his family caused. He admits that the only thing that motivates him to continue is guilt.
- The Cameo: He appears in Spider-Man 2099 vol.3, hanging around in Strange's house.
- Dissonant Serenity: In his cameo in Spider-Man 2099, while Spider-Man and the Ghost Rider are completely freaked out by the sight of an exorcism taking place (in fact, Ghost Rider is so creeped out that he refuses to enter the house), Sam is just... casually sitting in a corner, introduces himself with a cheerful "Hi, I'm Sam" and offers S-Man a hotdog.
- Emasculated Cuckold: Sam knows that his wife is cheating on him, he spotted her through a window, but can't bring himself to do anything about it.
- Gold Digger: His wife is only staying with him for his money. Apparently it's an ordinary event; she threatens than she'll divorce him if he continues his Daredevil gig, disappears for a day or two and then comes back with fake apologies.
- Ironic Nickname: He is far from fearless, and in his job he's perfectly content to take boring but safe cases.
- Legacy Character: He took up the mantle of the original Daredevil.
- Nice Guy: He's a perfectly friendly guy to be around.
- Powered Armor: He doesn't have any powers or martial arts training, and instead relies on his armor to fight criminals.
Black Panther 2099
K'Shamba
Debut: Black Panther 2099 #1
K'Shamba is the king of Wakanda and the Black Panther in 2099.
- Legacy Character: The new Black Panther of 2099.
Venom 2099 ( 2019 reboot)
Alea Bell
Debut: Venom 2099 #1
An Ordinary Highschool Student who was in a car accident that resulted in the death of her mother and left her with heavy scars all over her left arm and part of her face. (Un)fortunately for her, her father works for Alchemax, so she was elected to test an experimental treatment for the disfigurement. However, "experimental treatments" don't call out for help...
- Affirmative-Action Legacy: In contrast to the previous Venom 2099, Alea is a woman with a light brown complexion. She is also firmly on the side of good, rather than embracing the symbiote's darker impulses. The plot doesn't draw any attention to this, as it could be literally anyone in her place.
- Ambiguously Brown: Not that this is unusual by 2099 standards.
- Bleed 'Em and Weep: Alea is horrified when the Venom symbiote kills a pair of Private Eye guards to protect her, though it bluntly tells her that it saved her life in doing so and that if she wants to survive she'll need to gain the will to kill.
- Bully Hunter: Becomes one after bonding to the symbiote, attempting to pull a Scare 'Em Straight on Bether.
- Covered with Scars: Alea's left arm and part of her neck are initially covered in burn scars from the car accident that killed her mother, though the symbiote heals them after bonding to her.
- Death by Origin Story:
- Her mother died in the car accident that disfigured her.
- She almost died when she broke into Alchemax, but Venom was able to reform just in time to heal her.
- Handicapped Badass: Venom may have been split apart several times and only able to transform Alea's arm, but Alchemax security is still no match for it.
- Heroic Host: Alea insists on being this, much to the symbiote's bemused disappointment; telling it that she doesn't want to be seen as a monster.
- Hidden Depths: The Venom symbiote intuits that she has a lot of repressed anger over her mother's untimely death and the suffering she's endured.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Alea agrees to help put the symbiote back together in exchange for it leaving her to live a normal, mundane life. Once this goes out the window, however, she decides to embrace being a superhero.
- Jumped at the Call: Initial shock aside, she immediately agrees to break into Alchemax and help Venom restore itself, even helping it unlock the containment modules. She's also the one to suggest they start the superheroics.
- Legacy Character: Yet another Venom, and a heroic one at that. The symbiote lampshades this.Venom: Another one who wants to be a hero. Of course.
- Missing Mom: Alea's mother died in a horrific car accident that badly burned her left arm, leaving it covered in scars.
- Mushroom Samba: She undergoes this when she first bonds with Venom. She experiences visions that are a mix of her own accident along with some of Venom's memories.
- Nerves of Steel: Downplayed, but for an ordinary girl, she takes Venom's Humanitarian tendencies quite well.
- Ordinary High-School Student: There was absolutely nothing special about her prior to being bonded with Venom.
- Partial Transformation: After the symbiote slices off Alchemax's monitoring bracelet, it transforms her left arm into a jet-black appendage with clawed fingers.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: As the symbiote says, they are simply the bigger monster.
- Secret-Keeper: For 2099 as a whole. She is one of the very few people who are aware of the existence of extraterrestrials, or that superheroes were even a thing.
- Super-Soldier: The Venom symbiote reveals that Alchemax was planning on turning her into a prototype for a prospective revival of the Sym-Soldier Program, though she kiboshes their plans.
- Troll: The very first thing Alea does after she fully bonds with a restored Venom? Scare the crap out of her bully.
- Unwitting Test Subject: Double subverted. She underwent the experimental treatment on her own free will, but Venom (the symbiote) later reveals that the whole thing was a trap for them both in attempt to create some sort of Super-Soldier or Corporate Samurai or something along those lines (it wasn't at its most articulate at that point).
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: While in control of Alea's body, Venom threatens to eat Dr. Russell unless he erases all of Alcemax's data on it and Alea... and then proceeds to eat him anyway, quipping that it no longer has any use for him aside from exacting revenge.

- Legacy Character: Of Doctor Stephen Strange.

Strange: Now I get why the other guy had a medical degree. Makes for better intros.
Ghost Rider: Strange.
Spider-Man: No, it's not strange at all.
Ghost Rider: No, I mean you sound like Strange. She keeps saying the same thing.
Submariner 2099
Roman
- Amazing Technicolor Population: He's a blue-skinned Atlantean.
- Odd Friendship: In Secret Wars 2099, he and Hercules eventually strike up a sort-of friendship, over booze.

Tabitha

Heroes that appeared in later runs.
Captain America 2099
Roberta Mendez
- Action Mom: She has two daughters and is the Captain America of her timeline.
- Affirmative-Action Legacy: She's a Latina woman. The "woman" part is lampshaded repeatedly, to the point it becomes a Running Gag.
- Amazonian Beauty: Fitting for a female Captain, she's very well-toned and is quite pretty.
- Clothing Damage: If she changes from Roberta to Captain America, her civies will definitely get torn because she doesn't fit in them.
- Corporate-Sponsored Superhero: She and the rest of the Avengers were made by Alchemax, quite literally in Cap's case.
- Gone Horribly Right: Alchemax created the Captain America personality to be... y'know, Captain America. They didn't figure this would mean she'd decide Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!, or that she'd therefore come with the requisite Heroic Willpower to power through their brainwashing techniques.

- The Leader: Of the Avengers of 2099.
- Legacy Character: Of Captain America.
- Remember the New Guy?: Apparently she and Miguel had met before the events of Spider-Man 2099. It takes him a moment to remember who she is.
- Running Gag: As far as people in the modern era go, nobody can get over the fact that Captain America is a woman.
- Trigger Phrase: "Assemble" turns her from Roberta to Cap. "Dismissed" does it the other way.

Sonny Frisco
- Badass Boast: Delivers one to Electro 2099.Sonny: You'll be surprised at my options.
- High-Altitude Interrogation: At the receiving end of one, courtesy of Elektra.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: He doesn't remember 2099 at all, but he still retains all his technical skills. Later, it turns out that Amnesia Missed a Spot as he still sprouts some Future Slang.
- Legacy Character: A new Iron Man.
- Passing the Torch: A non-superhero example (despite both parties being superheroes). Right before Miguel returns to the future, he personally asks Sonny to take up his old position in Parker Industries.
- Punch-Clock Villain: After he is Trapped in the Past, he serves as one to Fist; he's a good guy, but because of his amnesia he didn't know any better.
- Shorter Means Smarter: He's a little person and is his timeline's Iron Man.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: His last appearance was in the last issue of Spider-Man 2099 vol.3, where Miguel leaves him in the past but gives him his old position in Parker Industries. There's no word what happened to him afterwards.
Hawkeye 2099
Max
- Ambiguously Human: The reason behind his Winged Humanoid status is unexplained, which means that he could easily be a mutant, an Inhuman, the result of experimentation, or anything else.

- Legacy Character: Of Hawkeye. Lampshaded by Roberta, who thinks that it's a very common alias. And then he lampshades that she's yet another Captain America.

- Winged Humanoid: He has wings, essentially combining him with Angel (or Hawkman for that matter).

- Megaton Punch: Is still capable of this.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: Stronger and faster than his younger self, and much skinnier.
- Old Master: A veteran martial artist and instructor. Really old. And he looks it.
- Only Friend: To Wade Wilson. Despite how Deadpool and Iron Fist weren't very close in the 20th and 21st Century, they are now one another's oldest and dearest pals by process of elimination.
Black Widow 2099
Tania
- Blood Knight: Tania had an unquenchable bloodlust, so much that Captain had to stop her from killing a criminal.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Much like the actual black widow spider, she eats her prey. Prey meaning people she's slept with.
- Only One Name: Her last name is unknown.
Deadpool(s) 2099
Wade W. Wilson, Ellie Preston, Warda Wilson
See Marvel Comics: Deadpool for Wade Wilson
See Deadpool: Supporting Characters for Ellie Preston and Warda Wilson
Villains
Alchemax
One of the Mega Corps that controls the world in Earth-928. Alchemax mostly specializes in genetically engineered super-soldiers, but also sponsors and manages the Public Eye and controls the hazardous waste disposal force called the ECO Patrol.
- Canon Immigrant: We eventually got to see the origin of Alchemax in the mainstream Marvel universe, in the pages of Superior Spider Man. Turns out it's a merger of Oscorp and Allan Chemical, which makes entirely too much sense.
- Greater-Scope Villain: They're behind the Big Bad for three-fourths of the original 2099 lineup, and are partially responsible for the mess the world's in.
- Toxic, Inc.: They have a terrible track record. ECO, their subsidiary devoted to hazardous waste cleanup, was basically just a cover to execute any political dissension against them.
Tyger Wylde
A former Alchemax executive who left the company and became dictator of post-cataclysm Latveria.
- A Lighter Shade of Black: An honorable enough ruler in his own way, and he's stopped Latveria from plunging into chaos. Really, he's not that different from Doom.
- Big Bad: For the first arc of Doom 2099, Doom's goal is to defeat him and retake his rightful throne.
- Beast Man: He's had some cosmetic work done so that his skin resembles the pattern of a tiger's coat.
- Bling of War: Goes into combat wearing golden Powered Armor.
Dethstryk
Dethstryk
- Big Bad: For Ravage 2099, though he's Out of Focus for a large chunk of the book's run.
- Evil Overlord: Of the mutroids on Hellrock.
- Our Presidents Are Different: Before he was Dethstryk, he was the last president of the United States.
- Tin Tyrant: Always wears armor.
- Touch of Death: His main superpower. Also, solid surfaces can conduct the energy from his touch, creating a deadly little Wormsign that follows people around.
- Xtreme Kool Letterz: Just look at his name! Though surprisingly enough it's actually a corruption of his birth name, Meredeth Stryker.
