!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Thing'' #28 (October, 1985) [[note]]As Dennis Dunphy[[/note]]; ''Captain America'' #328 (April, 1987) [[note]]As Demolition-Man[[/note]]
A former unlimited-class pro wrestler who befriended ComicBook/TheThing, Demolition Man has had a dubious and difficult career as a costumed adventurer. Although he began as one of Captain America’s closest allies during a difficult time for the patriotic hero, first teaming up with him to investigate the Power Broker, the man who gave him his augmented strength, much of his life following that has proven hard.
----
* AlliterativeName: His real name as well as Demolition Dunphy.
* BadassBeard: Recently he has grown a full beard.
* {{Bear}}: Dennis was eventually revealed to be gay during [[Comicbook/NickSpencersCaptainAmerica Nick Spencer's run]].
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: D actually. He deliberately duplicated ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'s original costume (though with a knock-off of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s mask).
* CrazyHomelessPeople: Ended up as one after he had seemingly met (what was then believed to have been) Bucky's fate at the hands of Flag-Smasher.
* DeathIsCheap: After he became the latest [[spoiler: Scourge of the Underworld]] and fought Cap, [[spoiler: Sharon shot him]]. He eventually came back.
* DrugsAreBad: They gave him his powers, but messed him up bad.
* HistoryRepeats: Was thought lost after being stuck on a plane that exploded, much like Cap and Bucky's fate toward the end of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. In Dunphy's case, though, he was found living among the Inuit, but suffering from TraumaInducedAmnesia.
* HollywoodHeartAttack: The process that granted Dunphy his superhuman powers has resulted in a dangerous heart condition that has plagued him on several occasions.
* ManlyGay: He's manly and also attracted to men.
* ThePigPen: After coming back from his time with the Inuit, he lived among a group of homeless called the Zero People, and hygiene became less of a priority. The rest of the Avengers noticed.
* PsychoSerum: But not by choice after the first time.
* SomethingPerson: The Demolition-Man.
* SuperStrength: Dunphy possesses superhuman strength, sufficient enough to enable him to lift up to 15 tons.
* UnskilledButStrong: D-Man coasted through a lot of fights early in his career. He was a competent enough fighter, and few opponents expected Cap's sidekick to be an order of magnitude stronger than Cap himself. However, the second he ran into someone stronger (specifically, Titania), he was curb-stomped.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Possibly as a delayed after-effect of the Power Broker treatments, Dunphy became schizophrenic. He believed that a voice was instructing him to collect the Infinity Gems. Instead he stole ordinary gems. Daredevil convinced Dunphy to get treatment for his illness.

A young man from Arizona inspired by Captain America to become a vigilante himself, eventually managing to get superpowers and training from his idol. He was imprisoned in he Negative Zone following the Superhero Registration Act for violating it, becoming crippled in the process. While in prison he ended up leading the prisoners against Blastaar. After teaming up with Star-Lord, he wound up with [[ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy a really weird bunch of cosmic heroes]]. And for the record, he hates "cosmic stuff".
----
* AscendedExtra: Appeared far more often in the second volume of Guardians of the Galaxy than he ever did in Captain America.
* AscendedFanboy: Of Captain America. This is also part of what gets him into trouble during his appearance in Thunderbolts, since he refused to sign up for the SRA on the grounds that Captain America would, meaning he got into some serious trouble for not being registered.
* BackForTheDead: In ''ComicBook/CaptainAmericaSteveRogers'' #1, he was thrown off a plane by Steve because he found out he was Hydra. He eventually died of his injuries in the hospital before he could tell anyone.
* BadassNormal: What he started out as.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Knew what violating the Registration Act would bring on him, and didn't care, because someone needed help.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: After accidentally ingesting some of Mr. Hyde's formula, he became super-humanly strong, fast and durable.
* FishOutOfWater: Jack's a street-level hero, used to dealing with people like ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, and he has a bit of trouble coming to terms with someone like ComicBook/IronMan. He's way out of his depth with the Guardians. The only reason he doesn't go home is because (as far as he knows) he's still a wanted man.
* GrumpyBear: [[CatchPhrase He hates cosmic stuff]].
* HandicappedBadass: Even whilst in wheelchair, Jack became the de-facto leader of the inmates of Prison 42 after the wardens abandoned the prison during the ComicBook/SecretInvasion and fought off Blastaar's forces in his attempt to gain access to the prison's portal to Earth.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Saves a girl from some thugs, gets beaten up, crippled, beaten up ''some more'' and then thrown into another universe and left to rot for his troubles.
* OnlySaneMan: Prior to joining the Guardians, Jack was imprisoned in Prison 42 located in the Negative Zone, for breaching the Superhuman Registration Act. When he joined up with the Guardians, he reacted to most of the cosmic stuff with "I hate cosmic stuff" due to his background as a street faring vigilante.
* PutOnABus: Disappeared from Captain America in the mid-90s, reappeared in ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} only to get beaten up, crippled, beaten up again and thrown in prison. Again in Guardians of the Galaxy, disappeared after vol. 2, having gone back home to earth.
* RunningGag: He doesn't like 'cosmic stuff'. Not even after it gives him his legs back.
* SuperSpeed: Not ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} level super-speed, but faster than the human norm.
* SuperStrength: Strong enough to go up against Mr. Hyde and win. Bearing in mind, Mr. Hyde regularly fights ''[[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]''.
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: Left paralyzed from the waist down following his run in with the Thunderbolts. The damage to his spine was healed using alien technology during his first visit to Knowhere.

The creator of the Super Soldier Serum that created Captain America. He was assassinated before writing down the formula, which led to several parties attempting to recreate the formula from scratch with little success.

->''"This war is everybody's war...! I was needed... and I answered the call... just as you did, in your own way!"''
-->--'''Peggy Carter''' to ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, ''Tales of Suspense'' #77
Margaret "Peggy" Carter is a Creator/MarvelComics character that originally appeared as a supporting character in the comic books featuring ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. She was created by Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby and introduced in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse in ''Tales of Suspense'' #77 in 1966.
She first appeared, unnamed, as a wartime {{love interest}} of Steve Rogers in ''Tales of Suspense'' #75 (single panel) and #77 (May 1966). She appeared again as the older sister of [[ComicBook/{{Agent 13}} Sharon Carter]] in ''Captain America'' #161 (May 1973). She was later retconned as Sharon's aunt.
When Peggy was only a teenager, she joined the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Resistance French Resistance]] during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. She proved to be a valiant and highly capable agent with the Resistance and served on several Resistance operations alongside the hero Captain America. Carter and Captain America fell in love with each other.
When she heard the rumor that Captain America had apparently been killed just before the end of the war in Europe, Peggy withdrew from the world, refusing to speak, dressing in mourning garb, and requiring hospitalization. She began treatments from the criminal Doctor Faustus. After Captain America resurfaced many years after the war, he learned of Peggy's whereabouts when he freed her and others from Faustus' clutches. Peggy eventually regained her mental bearings, and initially kept her love for Captain America to herself. Eventually any romantic feelings between the two subsided, but she formed a new romance with Gabe Jones of the ComicBook/HowlingCommandos, one of the first interracial relationships in the comics. Peggy worked for ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} and the Avengers Support Staff until she retired, passing away sometime in 2011.
After so many years only appearing as a SatelliteLoveInterest for the Sentinel of Liberty, Peggy finally became a central character in the new series ''Operation S.I.N.'' (a tie-in to ''ComicBook/OriginalSin'', apparently). In this series, she also co-stars with Howard Stark (father of [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]]). It was first released in January 2015, mirroring the debut of the ''Series/AgentCarter'' television series, which also features Peggy and Howard as major characters in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. The event in ''Operation S.I.N.'' is set during TheFifties.
Nearly a decade after her death, [[spoiler:Peggy made [[BackFromTheDead a surprise return]] in Creator/TaNehisiCoates' ''Captain America'', apparently with her youth restored (and a new [[RuleOfCool nose ring]]). Under the assumed alias [[NatureSpirits Dryad]], she lead Sharon and a team of fellow female superheroes, named the Daughters of Liberty, in an effort to rescue Steve from an unjust imprisonment]].
An alternate universe version of herself as Captain America also appeared in the 2018 run of ''[[ComicBook/Exiles2018 Exiles]]'', from a past where Steve Rogers was assassinated and Peggy took up the mantle as the good Captain, joined by {{Gender Flip}}ped sidekick [[ComicBook/BuckyBarnes Becky Barnes]].

!Tropes
* ActionGirl: Peggy was dedicated to end Nazi oppression and joined the French Resistance while she was still a teenager.
* ActionHeroine: Throwing punches and shooting guns are her preferred ways of beating her enemies.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde in the comics, brunette in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
* AdaptationalNationality: She was American in the comics, but is British in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. This is much likely because her actress, Creator/HayleyAtwell, is a British-American.
* AmnesiacLover: Peggy was captured by the Gestapo and was being held captive in Paris when it was liberated by the Allies. However, a shell exploded near her during the battle that freed the city, and the shock gave her amnesia. She was found and identified by Resistance colleagues and sent home to her parents in Virginia. When she began to recover from her amnesia, she was suffering from mental and emotional distress, and kept calling for Captain America.
* AscendedExtra: In the comics, Peggy is, at best, an important footnote to Steve and his primary love interest, Sharon Carter. In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, though, she's become one of the most prominent supporting characters, even after ''First Avenger'' seemingly concluded any more adventures in the 40s. The first issue of the 2011 ''Captain America'' series even uses her death from old age as a jumping-off point specifically because she'd now be familiar to audiences.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In Ta-Nehisi Coates' run of ''Captain America'']].
* BadassNormal: Unlike the captain, she's a normal human without superpowers.
* BattleCouple: [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/3/33913/1576973-11_capaft001_cov.jpg With Captain America]], [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/9241/767609-001.jpg during the war]].
* BreakoutCharacter: When Peggy Carter debuted in the comics, it was to be a TemporaryLoveInterest to ComicBook/CaptainAmerica during his time in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, but she debuted in UsefulNotes/TheSixties, [[{{Retcon}} long after]] Cap's regular WWII war stories were over. At first she appeared only in {{Flashback}}s (in her first story she wasn't even named!). Under these circumstances, she's rarely been anything more than a SatelliteLoveInterest in the comics. But when ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' came out, since 99% of the film takes place during the War, she naturally had a [[AscendedExtra much bigger role]]. She took center stage in the one-shot ''Film/AgentCarter'', which was such a huge hit that it [[SpinOff spun off]] into [[Series/AgentCarter her own regular TV series]]. It's worth noting that the filmmakers have tried to use Peggy in every single (Earth-bound) MCU vehicle after ''The First Avenger''. Creator/JossWhedon wrote a scene for her in ''The Avengers'', and she has cameos in ''The Winter Soldier'', ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'', ''Age of Ultron'', and ''Ant-Man''.
* CharacterDeath: In the modern-day of [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse mainstream comics universe]], she has passed away. Her death is shown in ''Captain America'' vol. 6 #1, which is released in July 2011, around the same time of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'''s release.
** [[spoiler:... and then undone after the release of ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.]]
* ComicBookTime: An aversion since, like Captain America, her backstory is tied into the Second World War. This makes her one of few characters of note to die of old age in mainstream comics.
* CompositeCharacter: In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, particularly ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', she combines elements of Peggy Carter (ActionGirl-ness and the name and relationship to Sharon Carter) with Lt. Cynthia Glass from the ''Sentinel of Liberty'' Miniseries (who had the same look and was also Phillips' aide).
* CoolAunt: For Sharon. Peggy is the one who inspires Sharon to become an ActionGirl and secret agent in her own rights.
* {{Expy}}: In her original appearances, she was one for Golden Age Captain America's LoveInterest, Betsy Ross.
* FirstLove: To Steve Rogers in the [=MCU=]. In the mainstream comics, his first love was Lt. Cynthia Glass, the Project Rebirth aid.
* GenerationXerox: Peggy Carter was a heroine of World War II and in a romance with Captain America. Her niece Sharon grew up to become a hero in her own right and got involved in a romance with the same long-lived hero.

A former unlimited-class pro wrestler who befriended ComicBook/TheThing, Demolition Man has had a dubious and difficult career as a costumed adventurer. Although he began as one of Captain America’s closest allies during a difficult time for the patriotic hero, first teaming up with him to investigate the Power Broker, the man who gave him his augmented strength, much of his life following that has proven hard.
----
* AlliterativeName: His real name as well as Demolition Dunphy.
* BadassBeard: Recently he has grown a full beard.
* {{Bear}}: Dennis was eventually revealed to be gay during [[Comicbook/NickSpencersCaptainAmerica Nick Spencer's run]].
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: D actually. He deliberately duplicated ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'s original costume (though with a knock-off of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s mask).
* CrazyHomelessPeople: Ended up as one after he had seemingly met (what was then believed to have been) Bucky's fate at the hands of Flag-Smasher.
* DeathIsCheap: After he became the latest [[spoiler: Scourge of the Underworld]] and fought Cap, [[spoiler: Sharon shot him]]. He eventually came back.
* DrugsAreBad: They gave him his powers, but messed him up bad.
* HistoryRepeats: Was thought lost after being stuck on a plane that exploded, much like Cap and Bucky's fate toward the end of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. In Dunphy's case, though, he was found living among the Inuit, but suffering from TraumaInducedAmnesia.
* HollywoodHeartAttack: The process that granted Dunphy his superhuman powers has resulted in a dangerous heart condition that has plagued him on several occasions.
* ManlyGay: He's manly and also attracted to men.
* ThePigPen: After coming back from his time with the Inuit, he lived among a group of homeless called the Zero People, and hygiene became less of a priority. The rest of the Avengers noticed.
* PsychoSerum: But not by choice after the first time.
* SomethingPerson: The Demolition-Man.
* SuperStrength: Dunphy possesses superhuman strength, sufficient enough to enable him to lift up to 15 tons.
* UnskilledButStrong: D-Man coasted through a lot of fights early in his career. He was a competent enough fighter, and few opponents expected Cap's sidekick to be an order of magnitude stronger than Cap himself. However, the second he ran into someone stronger (specifically, Titania), he was curb-stomped.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Possibly as a delayed after-effect of the Power Broker treatments, Dunphy became schizophrenic. He believed that a voice was instructing him to collect the Infinity Gems. Instead he stole ordinary gems. Daredevil convinced Dunphy to get treatment for his illness.

After teaming up with Star-Lord, he wound up with [[ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy a really weird bunch of cosmic heroes]]. And for the record, he hates "cosmic stuff".
----
* AscendedExtra: Appeared far more often in the second volume of Guardians of the Galaxy than he ever did in Captain America.
* AscendedFanboy: Of Captain America. This is also part of what gets him into trouble during his appearance in Thunderbolts, since he refused to sign up for the SRA on the grounds that Captain America would, meaning he got into some serious trouble for not being registered.

He's way out of his depth with the Guardians. The only reason he doesn't go home is because (as far as he knows) he's still a wanted man.
* GrumpyBear: [[CatchPhrase He hates cosmic stuff]].
* HandicappedBadass: Even whilst in wheelchair, Jack became the de-facto leader of the inmates of Prison 42 after the wardens abandoned the prison during the ComicBook/SecretInvasion and fought off Blastaar's forces in his attempt to gain access to the prison's portal to Earth.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Saves a girl from some thugs, gets beaten up, crippled, beaten up ''some more'' and then thrown into another universe and left to rot for his troubles.

When he joined up with the Guardians, he reacted to most of the cosmic stuff with "I hate cosmic stuff" due to his background as a street faring vigilante.
* PutOnABus: Disappeared from Captain America in the mid-90s, reappeared in ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} only to get beaten up, crippled, beaten up again and thrown in prison. Again in Guardians of the Galaxy, disappeared after vol. 2, having gone back home to earth.
* RunningGag: He doesn't like 'cosmic stuff'. Not even after it gives him his legs back.
* SuperSpeed: Not ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} level super-speed, but faster than the human norm.
* SuperStrength: Strong enough to go up against Mr. Hyde and win. Bearing in mind, Mr. Hyde regularly fights ''[[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]''.
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: Left paralyzed from the waist down following his run in with the Thunderbolts. The damage to his spine was healed using alien technology during his first visit to Knowhere.

->''"This war is everybody's war...! I was needed... and I answered the call... just as you did, in your own way!"''
-->--'''Peggy Carter''' to ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, ''Tales of Suspense'' #77
Margaret "Peggy" Carter is a Creator/MarvelComics character that originally appeared as a supporting character in the comic books featuring ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. She was created by Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby and introduced in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse in ''Tales of Suspense'' #77 in 1966.
She first appeared, unnamed, as a wartime {{love interest}} of Steve Rogers in ''Tales of Suspense'' #75 (single panel) and #77 (May 1966). She appeared again as the older sister of [[ComicBook/{{Agent 13}} Sharon Carter]] in ''Captain America'' #161 (May 1973). She was later retconned as Sharon's aunt.
When Peggy was only a teenager, she joined the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Resistance French Resistance]] during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. She proved to be a valiant and highly capable agent with the Resistance and served on several Resistance operations alongside the hero Captain America. Carter and Captain America fell in love with each other.
When she heard the rumor that Captain America had apparently been killed just before the end of the war in Europe, Peggy withdrew from the world, refusing to speak, dressing in mourning garb, and requiring hospitalization. She began treatments from the criminal Doctor Faustus. After Captain America resurfaced many years after the war, he learned of Peggy's whereabouts when he freed her and others from Faustus' clutches. Peggy eventually regained her mental bearings, and initially kept her love for Captain America to herself. Eventually any romantic feelings between the two subsided, but she formed a new romance with Gabe Jones of the ComicBook/HowlingCommandos, one of the first interracial relationships in the comics. Peggy worked for ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} and the Avengers Support Staff until she retired, passing away sometime in 2011.
After so many years only appearing as a SatelliteLoveInterest for the Sentinel of Liberty, Peggy finally became a central character in the new series ''Operation S.I.N.'' (a tie-in to ''ComicBook/OriginalSin'', apparently). In this series, she also co-stars with Howard Stark (father of [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]]). It was first released in January 2015, mirroring the debut of the ''Series/AgentCarter'' television series, which also features Peggy and Howard as major characters in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. The event in ''Operation S.I.N.'' is set during TheFifties.
Nearly a decade after her death, [[spoiler:Peggy made [[BackFromTheDead a surprise return]] in Creator/TaNehisiCoates' ''Captain America'', apparently with her youth restored (and a new [[RuleOfCool nose ring]]). Under the assumed alias [[NatureSpirits Dryad]], she lead Sharon and a team of fellow female superheroes, named the Daughters of Liberty, in an effort to rescue Steve from an unjust imprisonment]].
An alternate universe version of herself as Captain America also appeared in the 2018 run of ''[[ComicBook/Exiles2018 Exiles]]'', from a past where Steve Rogers was assassinated and Peggy took up the mantle as the good Captain, joined by {{Gender Flip}}ped sidekick [[ComicBook/BuckyBarnes Becky Barnes]].

!Tropes
* ActionGirl: Peggy was dedicated to end Nazi oppression and joined the French Resistance while she was still a teenager.
* ActionHeroine: Throwing punches and shooting guns are her preferred ways of beating her enemies.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde in the comics, brunette in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
* AdaptationalNationality: She was American in the comics, but is British in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. This is much likely because her actress, Creator/HayleyAtwell, is a British-American.
* AmnesiacLover: Peggy was captured by the Gestapo and was being held captive in Paris when it was liberated by the Allies. However, a shell exploded near her during the battle that freed the city, and the shock gave her amnesia. She was found and identified by Resistance colleagues and sent home to her parents in Virginia. When she began to recover from her amnesia, she was suffering from mental and emotional distress, and kept calling for Captain America.
* AscendedExtra: In the comics, Peggy is, at best, an important footnote to Steve and his primary love interest, Sharon Carter. In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, though, she's become one of the most prominent supporting characters, even after ''First Avenger'' seemingly concluded any more adventures in the 40s. The first issue of the 2011 ''Captain America'' series even uses her death from old age as a jumping-off point specifically because she'd now be familiar to audiences.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In Ta-Nehisi Coates' run of ''Captain America'']].
* BadassNormal: Unlike the captain, she's a normal human without superpowers.
* BattleCouple: [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/3/33913/1576973-11_capaft001_cov.jpg With Captain America]], [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/9241/767609-001.jpg during the war]].
* BreakoutCharacter: When Peggy Carter debuted in the comics, it was to be a TemporaryLoveInterest to ComicBook/CaptainAmerica during his time in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, but she debuted in UsefulNotes/TheSixties, [[{{Retcon}} long after]] Cap's regular WWII war stories were over. At first she appeared only in {{Flashback}}s (in her first story she wasn't even named!). Under these circumstances, she's rarely been anything more than a SatelliteLoveInterest in the comics. But when ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' came out, since 99% of the film takes place during the War, she naturally had a [[AscendedExtra much bigger role]]. She took center stage in the one-shot ''Film/AgentCarter'', which was such a huge hit that it [[SpinOff spun off]] into [[Series/AgentCarter her own regular TV series]]. It's worth noting that the filmmakers have tried to use Peggy in every single (Earth-bound) MCU vehicle after ''The First Avenger''. Creator/JossWhedon wrote a scene for her in ''The Avengers'', and she has cameos in ''The Winter Soldier'', ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'', ''Age of Ultron'', and ''Ant-Man''.
* CharacterDeath: In the modern-day of [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse mainstream comics universe]], she has passed away. Her death is shown in ''Captain America'' vol. 6 #1, which is released in July 2011, around the same time of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'''s release.
** [[spoiler:... and then undone after the release of ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.]]
* ComicBookTime: An aversion since, like Captain America, her backstory is tied into the Second World War. This makes her one of few characters of note to die of old age in mainstream comics.
* CompositeCharacter: In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, particularly ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', she combines elements of Peggy Carter (ActionGirl-ness and the name and relationship to Sharon Carter) with Lt. Cynthia Glass from the ''Sentinel of Liberty'' Miniseries (who had the same look and was also Phillips' aide).
* CoolAunt: For Sharon. Peggy is the one who inspires Sharon to become an ActionGirl and secret agent in her own rights.
* {{Expy}}: In her original appearances, she was one for Golden Age Captain America's LoveInterest, Betsy Ross.
* FirstLove: To Steve Rogers in the [=MCU=]. In the mainstream comics, his first love was Lt. Cynthia Glass, the Project Rebirth aid.
* GenerationXerox: Peggy Carter was a heroine of World War II and in a romance with Captain America. Her niece Sharon grew up to become a hero in her own right and got involved in a romance with the same long-lived hero.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Steve prefers to use only [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe his shield]] when in combat while Peggy is quite the crack shot.
* HeartbrokenBadass: When she heard the rumor that Captain America had apparently been killed just before the end of the war in Europe, Peggy withdrew from the world, refusing to speak, dressing in mourning, and requiring hospitalization.
* JumpedAtTheCall: See the quote above. She dedicated to end [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Nazi]] oppression and joined French Resistance.
* LaResistance: She was member of French Resistance during the war against Nazi.
* LadyOfWar: A competent ActionGirl who also manages to be composed, even in battle.
* LegacyCharacter: Peggy Carter was first known as Agent 13, before her niece, Sharon Carter.
* NiceHat: An army beret during the war. ''Series/AgentCarter'' had a red fedora as her emblem.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: When informally addressed, people refer to her as Peggy instead of Margaret.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn'' depicts her and ComicBook/BuckyBarnes as having gotten married after Steve fell into the ice as they're implied to be Rikki parental grandparents.
** [[spoiler:''Film/AvengersEndgame'' does show Steve went back in time after returning the Infinity Stones and the two got married.]]
* {{Retcon}}: She was once introduced as much older sister of Sharon, later retconned into becoming her aunt.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: As a young girl, she looks a lot like her modern-day niece, Sharon.
* YouAreNumberSix: "Agent 13" was previously her codename before it's used by her niece.
