* MilitaryMaverick: {{Deconstructed|Trope}}.
** In the 1950s storyline, General Puckett sees great things in Shaw in the 1950s storyline, and Shaw is a man who's very loyal to his friends, has a selfless streak of wanting to be helping on the frontline instead of from behind, and is in-tune with his feelings. However, Shaw's personality traits and cowboy attitude lead him to make a very short-sighted and costly poor decision ''despite'' Puckett's cautions based on his own personal feelings; when he blows off his promotion to becoming Monarch's head because he's unnerved by the idea of leading Monarch from behind a desk and not being in the thick of it with his friends anymore (particularly Keiko, who he's fallen in love with). This leads to Puckett being forced to put Lieutenant Hatch in charge of Monarch instead of Shaw, and Hatch then nearly destroys the organization that Lee and his friends have spent years building.
** [[spoiler:In the 2015 storyline, whilst Shaw ''is'' more successful and competent at making progress than Monarch is when he goes rogue and founds a RenegadeSplinterFaction to close the Vile Vortices, his highly emotion-driven personality and motivations render him completely blind to the mounting evidence that his plan, if it succeeds, will do much more harm than good to the world]].
