Tacticians
Baron Strucker
A man of towering, heedless ambition, Strucker is second only to the Red Skull in the hierarchy of HYDRA. The insane scientists of HYDRA have armed him with the strength-enhancing Satan Claw and the fearsome Death Spore virus.
Baron Zemo
The son of Nazi scientist Heinrich Zemo, Baron Helmut Zemo carries a lifelong hatred for Captain America, whom he blames for his father's death. Formerly the leader of the Thunderbolts and the Masters of Evil, Baron Zemo will use any means to destroy Captain America, the Avengers, and the United States itself. He is currently contending with the Viper to control HYDRA.
- "Not So Different" Remark: despite starting an Evil Versus Evil Enemy Civil War within HYDRA against Viper, Captain America notes that she and Zemo are saying the same thing.
Boomerang
Australian Fred Myers moved to the US and became a preeminent pitcher in the Major leagues before being suspended for taking bribes. The Secret Empire turned him into an assassin, giving him the tools and identity of Boomerang.
- I Know Madden Kombat: That pitching really helps in fights.
Bullseye
A true psychopath, no one knows the real history of the assassin behind the mask. As Daredevil's archenemy, he lives solely to defeat the Man Without Fear and cause as much mayhem as possible.
- Chekhov M.I.A.: at the beginning of SpecOps 12.2, Tony makes an offhand remark about Bullseye apparently going "missing". Anyone who's read the comics will know where Bullseye is in regards to the mission: he's the Boss, as Dark Hawkeye.
Constrictor
A former Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Frank Payne became the Constrictor after joining The Corporation, a now defunct criminal organization that provided him with his armor and equipment.

Count Nefaria
Rising to power within the Maggia, Luchino Nefaria underwent ionic treatment, gaining incredible powers and abilities. While fully charged with ionic energy, Count Nefaria stands as one of the most dangerous threats to the Avengers.
- Flying Brick: His high-collared costume with flowing cape, neatly-trimmed goatee, streaks of grey in his hair and beard, and cultured speaking style make him seem like a magic user, but he's this instead. With Eye Beams to boot.
- We Can Rule Together: Appears to have made a deal like this with The Mandarin.
Cul Borson
Cul Borson, the Firstborn of Bor, assumed the throne of Asgard and reigned with fear, forcing his brother, Odin, to usurp the throne and imprison him within Midgard. Now the Serpent seeks to destroy his former prison with fear and the might of his Worthy.
- God of Evil: He is the God of Fear.
- One-Winged Angel: His true form is the serpent. He transforms in the middle of your last battle.
Doctor Octopus
Otto Octavius designed thought-controlled mechanical arms to assist with his research in atomic physics. An accident led to them being fused to his body and damaged his psyche in turn, leading him to a life of crime.
- Animal Motif: An octopus if you didn't know by now.
- Damage-Sponge Boss: the only thing intimidating about him as an Optional Boss is his massive HP count.
Iron Patriot Armor
Having cracked Stark Tower's security codes, Savin took remote control of the Iron Patriot Armor and used it to attack the tower.
- More Dakka: The "21-Gun Salute", with an additional hit and the Radiation Exposure debuff.
- If Iron Patriot holds off using any ammo-dependent attack until the 2nd round of a fight, he can theoretically fire 126 hits at his opponents in 2 turns with just "Minigun Barrage" alone (with the use of "Full Overcharge" on the 2nd turn).

- Remote Body: War Machine's alt armor being controlled by Savin.

This misfit of Asgard, forever carrying a grudge over the death of his father and the Aesir's love for Thor and Balder, inadvertently inspired the creation of the Avengers during one of his plots to destroy his step-brother Thor. A trickster and would-be usurper, Loki schemes constantly, and has allied with Dr. Doom in his recent plots against the Avengers and his hated brother.
See his entry in the Heroes' Tacticians folder.

While Loki is responsible for her "birth," there is no love between the god of mischief and the goddess of death. In fact, Hela cares not for her fellow gods and only wishes to rule over all the nine realms.
- Antagonistic Offspring: She's Loki's daughter, and Loki is the team-up against her boss fight in Spec Ops 24 mission 3.

This is part of the Brotherhood’s ongoing effort to disrupt the status quo of mutant rights and create an environment ripe for violence.
Madame Masque
Despite her gender, Madame Masque’s father groomed her to assume control of the powerful Maggia crime family the Nefarias from an early age. Infiltrating Stark Industries under the guise of Whitney Frost, she began to romance Tony Stark but her true identity was ultimately revealed and her schemes foiled by his alter ego, Iron Man.

- Aristocrats Are Evil / The Evil Prince: As Black Bolt's brother, he's a member of the Inhumans Royal Family. So, this qualifies.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In Spec Ops 23, he seems at first on the side of the Alliance along with the other Inhumans. But it turns out he worked for Thanos all along, and was hoping to save himself when he tried double-crossing Thanos. Not that anyone was really buying it.
- Compelling Voice: His move "Persuasion", which makes one hero attack the other heroes for him.
- Loud of War: One of his moves is "Mad Dub Drop", which employs weaponized dubstep.
- Metaphorically True: He gets a lot of mileage out of this trope during the SpecOps, via telling things that are technically true but leaving out the bit where those [bad] things were mostly his own fault.
- Obviously Evil: Seriously, with the nickname "Maximus the Mad", how could anyone let him in the Alliance especially after they made clear they don't really trust him?
- Playing Both Sides: His whole goal was to get S.H.I.E.L.D. and Thanos at each other's throats for some reason known only to himself.
- Technobabble: The name of one of his moves, in which he causes Broken Will and Incapacitation by lecturing science at people.
Magneto
In his boyhood, Magneto survived the horrors of Auschwitz, but the deprivation and sickness he experienced there prevented his mutant powers from manifesting. Later he came to have control over all forms of electromagnetism. Believing that all humans would try to destroy mutants just as the Nazis destroyed his family, he founded the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
See his entry in the Heroes' Tacticians folder.

- Affably Evil: Commented on during Spec Ops 26:Arnim Zola: Captain Rogers! We renew our acquaintance yet again.Captain America: I always thought it was a little strange how all you ex-Nazis had such good manners.
