History Characters / UltimateMarvelVsCapcom3

* HumanHammerThrow: His Hammer Throw move has him grabbing a zombie and spinning it multiple times by the legs, bashing the opponent in the process.

* ArcherArchetype: His weapons of choice are always a bow and arrow.

* DropTheHammer: In his "Objection Overruled" hyper combo, a giant version of the Judge from his home series appears and slams down his gavel on top of his opponent.

* HaveANiceDeath: He says the quote word-for-word if he manages to catch his opponent in his level 3 hyper combo.

* IronButtMonkey: Despite the silly appearance of his moveset and having no combat skills, he actually has above average health[[note]]At 1000000, which it's close to heavy hitters like Hulk and Thor which have 1.2m and 1.25m respectively.[[/note]]. This has precedence in his home series, where he has survived being stabbed, whipped, hit on the head, struck by a car, bitten by a dog, attacked by a falcon, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and had hot coffee thrown in his face.]] He lampshades it in one of his victory quotes.

* AmoralAttorney: Played with. Phoenix seems to recognize that some of the villains are indeed criminals, though he offers to defend them on a couple of occasions. Even in his ending, he goes as far as defending [[spoiler:''[[PlanetEater Galactus]]'']]. Crosses over with AdaptationalVillainy to an extent, as in his home series it takes extreme coertion to get him to defend a guilty client, and even then he'll make sure they're convicted by the end.

* GutturalGrowler: Being mostly incapable of speech, his only vocalizations are roars, grunts, growls and groans. And "[[CatchPhrase S.T.A.R.S.]]".

* CoolBike: [[JustForPun Hell]] yeah, it is. The Hell Cycle shows up in his intro pose, and he additionally uses it [[CarFu to turn you into roadkill]] in one of his hypers.

* AuthorAppeal: Marvel confirmed that the reason Iron Fist is wearing his classic costume & not his post-''ComicBook/CivilWar'' attire is because Capcom specifically asked to use that costume.

!!Phoenix "Nick" Wright (Ryuichi Naruhodo)

[[folder:Nemesis T-Type]]

[[folder:Strider Hiryu]]

[[folder:Rocket Raccoon]]

* {{Irony}}: In terms of canonical power levels, Phoenix Wright is unarguably the weakest fighter in the entire roster what with him being an unpowered, non-combative lawyer in a FantasyKitchenSink cast consisting of a WorldOfBadass. In terms of actual gameplay, Phoenix Wright is also unarguably one of the ''strongest'' characters, with his Turnabout Mode making him nigh-unstoppable and his Hyper Combo being the second most powerful in the entire game.

** Maya falls under this as well. In her home series, her powers extend solely to channeling dead spirits. Here, she can create psychic barriers, rush opponents with a flurry of strikes in Phoenix's Level One Hyper, and is shown teleporting during their victory animation.

* {{Muggle}}: Not as big an example as Phoenix Wright, but he is still a regular human with no combat experience in a roster full of gods, mutants and super soldiers.

-->[[BadassBoast Avengers. Defenders. Thunderbolts. I make any team better.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Downplayed. While Hiryu is definitely a badass in his home series, his moveset consists of just a slide and basic sword slashes. Here not only are his skills expanded, but the clunky and borderline useless Panther and Hawk robots become much more versatile.

* AmoralAttorney: Played with. Phoenix seems to recognize that some of the villains are indeed criminals, though he offers to defend them on a couple of occasions. Even in his ending, he goes as far as defending [[spoiler:''[[PlanetEater Galactus]]'']].

* AstralProjection: Used at the start of his Level 3 Hyper, aptly named "Astral Projection". He also provides the current page image.

** After beating Chris, he will say "That's for letting (Umbrella) mess up [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Raccoon]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3 City]], [[DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch ya wanker]]".

* LongRangeFighter: His chain has a long reach, and has access to a bunch of firey projectiles.

* WhipItGood: Combined with VariableLengthChain, resulting in ChainPain.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Phoenix can convict anyone guilty of a crime. Including people like Doctor Doom, who famously uses his DiplomaticImmunity to get away with his schemes, or aliens like Super-Skrull and Rocket Raccoon, who logically couldn't be tried under Earth laws. The same goes for extradimensional beings like Dormammu and Shuma-Gorath, deities like Amaterasu and Thor, a mindless genetically-engineered monster like Nemesis, or the Sentinel, ''a 50-foot tall killer robot''[[note]]Zero may be a robot as well, but he's at least partially sentient enough to potentially be tried in court[[/note]].

* MultiMeleeMaster: Not only is he a masterful swordsman, but he is also adept at fist fights, allowing to fight with both his trademark katana and the Beowulf gauntlets.
* NamedWeapons: The katana is called Yamato, but he also has access to gauntlets called Beowulf and the dark sword Force Edge.

* OneWingedAngel: His Level 3 Hyper combo has him transform into his final, horrifically mutated form from VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis, ensnare the opponent with tentacles, and then spit acid at them.

Chosen by the dying alien Rhomann Dey to receive his [[TheChosenMany Nova Corps]] powers, [[Comicbook/{{Nova}} Richard Rider]] began his new life as a super hero. His battles take him all throughout the universe, fighting evil wherever he is needed. In addition to superhuman strength and durability, he can fly through space at supersonic speeds. He can also absorb and reflect energy attacks.

* BreakoutCharacter: Initially an obscure D-list UnexpectedCharacter, this game marked the beginning of Rocket's gradual ascension to A-lister status, which was fully cemented by the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' movie released three years later.

* SneezeOfDoom: His launcher attack, as well as his j.S. His sneeze is so powerful that it lifts him off the ground... and his opponent he bumps into.

** The Judge appears as a Level 1 Hyper, available only during Trial Mode and Turnabout Mode, slamming down his massive hammer on top of the opponent.

* DropTheHammer: In his "Objection Overruled" hyper combo, a giant version of the Judge from his home series appears and slams down his hammer on top of his opponent.

* AbsoluteCleavage: RareMaleExample. His costume opens up to expose his chest and display the tattoo of the Iron Fist.

* MysticalHighCollar: The Cloak of Levitation has a very high and regal-looking collar, and posseses great magical power of its own.
