Mystique
Alter Ego: Raven Darkholme
First Appearance: Ms. Marvel Vol. 1, #16
- Ha! You know what your problem is? You don't understand how somebody like me can do the kind of things I do. You want a reason for it. A motive. You want me to spell it all out and make it nice and tidy and boring. But sometimes, Carol... sometimes I just like to have fun. And when you're as old as I am, fun is a lot harder to come by than it used to be.
Mystique is a 100-year old shapeshifting mutant. Originally, she could take on the appearance of any humanoid being by having complete control over the cells of her body, in addition to being able to morph the material in her clothes to suit any situation. She later got a superpower upgrade allowing her to produce weapons by morphing her organs and such into wings and talons. For years she was involved in espionage, with her long-time romantic partner Destiny - a blind mutant precognitive. For a time, Destiny and Mystique separated for personal reasons, and Mystique became romantically involved with Sabretooth and a German Baron, resulting in the birth of her two sons - Graydon Creed and Kurt Wagner. Destiny and Mystique reunited, and depending on the writer - either adopted Rogue or conceived her via Mystique's shapeshifting powers. After this, Destiny and Mystique revived the Brotherhood of Mutants to assassinate anti-mutant politicians and began their conflict with the X-Men. Mystique usually has her own personal goals she's fighting for and is usually constantly involved in multiple webs of deception.
Nitro
Alter Ego: Robert Hunter
First Appearance: Captain Marvel #34
Lowly electrical engineer Robert Hunter was embittered over his status in life, always seething with resentment towards his younger bosses. Recruited by the Kree's Lunatic Legion, Hunter eagerly volunteered to be genetically altered until he gained the ability to explode his body and reassemble his molecules at will. He was sent to obtain a chemical compound the Legion needed for their work, until he was thwarted by Captain Mar-Vell. Nitro, as Hunter took to calling himself, developed a murderous vendetta against Mar-Vell, eventually succeeding in killing the hero by giving him cancer. He continued to work as a professional assassin, clashing with heroes ranging from Wolverine to Iron Man to Daredevil, before he triggered the superhuman Civil War when killed more than 600 innocent people in Stamford, Connecticut.
- Abusive Parents: He has a daughter whom he doesn't love and tries to force her to help with his crimes on one occasion. Fortunately, she's nothing like him.
- Action Bomb: One who can go off as many times as he wants, exploding into atoms and then reforming.
- An Arm and a Leg: Lost a hand to Wolverine. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.
- Ascended Extra: For a guy who's never been more than a C-Lister, he's been involved in some pretty memorable storylines, such as The Death of Captain Marvel and the aforementioned Civil War (2006).
- Clingy Costume: The purple costume he wears is in fact part of his body, although he can wear normal clothes over it if he wants.
- Depending on the Writer: Nitro's power level tends to fluctuate depending on who's writing him. Brian Michael Bendis wrote him as not even able to kill Daredevil and needing several minutes to recharge between explosions, while under Mark Millar's pen he was able to destroy an entire suburban neighborhood. It was eventually justified when it was revealed that Nitro was hopped up on Mutant Growth Hormone in Stamford.
- Drunk on the Dark Side: Spider-Man saw him as being more this than inherently evil, to the point that Spidey took no pleasure in defeating him.Spider-Man: I defeated a menace that was just a bitter old man.
- Evil Old Folks: He's pretty old, and despite being a relatively minor villain, he has engaged in some huge atrocities.
- Having a Blast: Nitro had the ability to blow himself up and reform instantly.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Most heroes tend to beat Nitro by turning his own powers against him. Iron Man defeated him when he forced Nitro to constantly explode over and over until he was too exhausted to continue, Spider-Man tricked him into mixing tear gas with his molecules after he exploded, leaving him too sick to fight back when he reformed, and Omega the Unknown stuffed him down a long tube and blew him out into space.
- Hero Killer: Is responsible for the death of the original Captain Marvel (the cover of his debut even boasted that he's "the man who killed Captain Marvel", and albeit indirectly, Mar-Vell did eventually die due to that battle) and for several of the New Warriors at the beginning of Civil War. Though in the case of the later, most of them came back in one way or another (except Microbe).
- Mad Bomber: Nitro can self-detonate and then reform himself, and he's very mad, enough to kill over 600 people with one detonation.
- Never My Fault: He espouses this about Mar-Vell's death while fighting Carol Danvers.Nitro: I didn't even mean to kill him. I tossed a nerve-gas bomb. How could I know he'd be stupid enough to tackle it? That's not heroic, that's crazy.
- Pet the Dog: When his new partner, Nada, reveals her origin to him in Captain Marvel: Dark Tempest #2, Nitro is surprisingly sympathetic, calling what was done to Nada, her people, and her planet "awful." He also seemed to think that he and Nada were friends, even though she clearly only saw him as Dumb Muscle.
- Psycho for Hire: After taking out Captain Marvel, he became a hired hitman, accepting contracts to kill everyone from Tony Stark to Matt Murdock. He is very sadistic and is prone to killing innocent bystanders who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
- Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: He tried to rape Dakota North at one point, which horrified even another villain he was with.
- The Sociopath: He is a murderous Psycho for Hire who is prone to killing innocent bystanders, has no love for his daughter, tried to rape Dakota North, and felt zero remorse when his explosion killed 612 people, 60 of whom were children.
- Super Smoke: Nitro becomes sentient vapor for a while after he explodes.
- White Hair, Black Heart: His hair is white and he is a dangerous sociopath that will blow up anything and anyone.

He is a veteran of many conflicts, including the Kree/Skrull and Kree/Shi'Ar Wars, and was a recurring foe of Captain Marvel due to the latter defecting from the Kree to fight for Earth. He would eventually marry Crystal, a former fill-in member of the Fantastic Four.
Star
Alter Ego: Ripley Ryan
First Appearance: Captain Marvel Vol. 10, #1
- She thinks she's helping... thinks she's a hero... but she's just chaos! An impossible-to-contain hurricane constantly pulling all of us into her deadly wake. She needs help? She and all her super-powered invulnerable friends?! She's careless because she doesn't understand what it means to be vulnerable. Someone should make her understand.
Ripley Ryan was an anti-superhero reporter who became the vessel for the Reality Stone.
- Alliterative Name: Ripley Ryan
- The Alcoholic: Spends quite a bit of time at the Bar With No Name.
- Anti-Villain: Wants to be left alone & will use dangerous Reality Warping powers to ensure this. Fights against primordial god Knull and shows concern for her fellow Thunderbolts in the King in Black event.
- Back from the Dead: Carol Danvers rips a power absorbing device out of her chest. While she's alive after that, she dies on the way to the Raft and wakes up resurrected in a body bag due to the Reality Stone.
- The Big Guy: She packs the biggest punch among the Thunderbolts during King In Black.
- Evil Redhead: Changes her appearance at the end of her mini-series, including her hair, from blonde to red.
- Foil: For Karla Sofen, her equivalent at the Thunderbolts. They're both blonde, have similar powers and both have a history with Carol Danvers, but whereas Karla merely pretended to be a hero and has more than once turned to villainy at the first opportunity, Ripley at least tries to be genuine in her redemption and doesn't betray the Thunderbolts despite them treating her poorly.
- Freudian Excuse: She was abused by her female caretaker when she was a child and suffered from bullying and ridicule at school and at work. Having died as collateral damage from Carol Danvers' battle against the Nuclear-Man, revived and then turned into a superpowered being against her will, as well as her own biases against superheroes, defined her current mindset and personality.
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: That being said, her increasing depravity, Evil Is Petty Kick the Dog moments, and her brutality to her former tormenters is shown to be no way justified. Spider-Man calls her out on this non-stop when he went up against her.Spider-Man: Ew, yeah. That was seriously messed up. But people still remembered you were there...Ripley. That's how I knew you were heading to Lacey Fischer's house. You-You can't just murder everyone who was ever mean to you in high school! It ends up being a real downer at the reunions. And sometimes people change! They grow up!
- I Just Want to Be Free: Being abused in her childhood and ridiculed at school and work have made her value her freedom above all else, and she would rather keep both Captain Marvel and the Black Order away from her.
- Imagination-Based Superpower: Has reality warping skills from the Reality Stone, but is limited in her knowledge of how to use them and mostly seems to use it for Flying Brick and energy blasting powers.
- Light Is Not Good: Her outfit is mostly white and her name doesn't sound intimidating, but she's a very unstable person with a chip on her shoulder concerning super-heroes, especially Captain Marvel.
- The Mentally Disturbed: Being tortured by Dr. Minerva, her own traumas and being targeted for her Infinity Stone have left her a very unstable person.
- Only Sane Man: Ironically, despite her own mental issues, she comes across as the most sane amongst the Thunderbolts during King In Black.
- Power-Strain Blackout: Faints after strenuous use of her Reality Stone powers. First suggested as possibly just panic attacks as a result of seeing Carol Danvers, but this trend continues in the King in Black event.
- Reality Warper: Becomes the host of the Reality Stone, meaning she can alter reality according to how she feels.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: When using the powers of the Reality Stone, her eyes glow red.
- The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female among the Kingpin's Thunderbolts' incarnation.
- Trauma Button: At least temporarily, seeing Carol Danvers given their history.
- Token Good Teammate: For the Thunderbolts, she's the only one who actually tries to take being a hero seriously.
- Villain Protagonist: Main character of her mini-series Star and despite having the chance of becoming a true hero, or even an anti-hero, she chooses to be an anti-villain who just wants to be left alone.
- White and Red and Eerie All Over: Her costume is red and white, and while at first glance not eerie, her damaged mindset makes her rather disturbing. She changes to a red and black costume at the end of her mini-series.
- She's back to her original appearance for the King In Black: Thunderbolts tie-in.

- Sinister Shades: Wears yellow-tinted glasses and she's a Mad Scientist.
- Token Evil Teammate: For the Dark Avengers. This is a team that had an arrogant spider-god, a Killer Robot who had actually killed people, and Hawkeye's evil brother, and Dr. Covington is the most unstable of them all.
Vox Supreme
First Appearance: Captain Marvel Vol 10, #12
- Ah, Captain. Your efforts were valiant, but you are a misguided fool with a limited and disappointingly human view of the world. You view us as a villain, but we are not villains, we are architects. And we must knock down what came before in order to build something better. The Kree have pretended to be a great race for millennia, when they are but an early draft... not a mistake so much as the bones of something better. We—a Vox who survived the odds to merge with the best and brightest fragments of the original Supreme Intelligence and create the greatest version of our own selves—we will birth a master race. They will be the kings of the universe... and we their Gods.
