* BigBrotherInstinct: Easily one of the biggest ways to piss him off is to hurt a member of [=DedSec=], either physically or emotionally. Sure enough, after the [=FBI=] [[spoiler: arrests Wrench, [[PoliceBrutality gives him a beating]] and steals [[SecurityBlanket his mask]],]] Marcus raids one of their safe houses.

This is definitely a shoehorn — I don't really see how any of the members are "adorable" in the manner of that trope.


* BadassAdorable: The titular members (Marcus, Wrench, Sitara, Josh) are cute and quirky in their own way, but they are young hackers who can get physical.

Added DiffLines:

** Aiden's melee weapon was a collapsible rigid baton, like a cop (even though it's illegal for civilians) that he hides until needed. Marcus' "Thunder Ball" is an improvised weapon, flexible, he usually hides it in plain sight as a bag decoration, and is probably outright illegal in Cali[[note]]Presumably a judge would think it's close enough to a monkey's fist to count.[[/note]].

* KillerYoYo: Wields a billiard ball threaded onto a length of paracord as a makeshift flail, [[ICallItVera the "Thunder Ball"]] as his melee weapon.

Nerd is now a redirect to Indexed And Nerdy and no longer a trope per TRS


* {{Nerd}}: Aside from their obvious obsession with tech, they constantly sling pop-culture references at each other, and their main hackerspace is located in the basement of a tabletop gaming store.

He confirms this in a later dialog when he responds to Marcus suggesting he "air out his mask and relax" by saying he needs the mask because it's what keeps him calm.

* ExtremeDoormat: To an extent. He does the vast majority of the work in just about every mission and is always the first to volunteer or accept when someone else needs something done.



* InexplicablyAwesome: Unlike Aiden, who has a history of working as a Fixer, it's never really explained how Marcus is so competent in firearms that he can use any weapon or so good at melee that he can overpower trained FBI agents or gangsters.



* MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite his somewhat wiry frame he's capable of overpowering every single enemy in the game, even Enforcers.
* NervesOfSteel: He rarely ever seems to panic. The one time he does is when the Bratva knock him out and put him in a car crusher, and after he escapes that he's back to joking with his friends and poking fun at Wrench for punching a hole in the wall for his sake.



* ThouShaltNotKill: Zig-zagged. While he can kill people just fine in gameplay there's no cutscene where he ever resorts to lethal force and he starts off with a tazer only in his inventory. Even when he meets Dusan alone in an office early on and has nothing left to lose by killing him he simply punches him in the face then lets him leave. [[spoiler: The only possible aversion is after Horatio dies. In the cutscene he's shown with a pistol rather than his tazer and his dialogue after dealing with the bosses indicates he permanently dealt with them rather than just knocking them out.]]
