** The entire reason this show exists is because of Coulson's (former, because he now obviously is a main character) Ensemble Darkhorse status in the MCU.
** Antoine Triplett got a lot of love for being a really nice guy and for having nice chemistry with Simmons. Many fans were ecstatic when he joined the team near the end of Season 1 and essentially [[spoiler:replaced Ward. Those same fans were outraged when the character was killed off during the Season 2 mid-season finale, only to become overjoyed when he returned during the Framework arc in Season 4.]]
** Season 2 notably introduced several characters who instantly became this, particularly [[ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}} Bobbi Morse]] and Mack, who got noticed by the writers who proceeded to upgrade them to main characters by the end of the season (Bobbi getting promoted during the winter break, Mack at the end of the season), taking them out of this territory. Bobbi in particular was set to get a spin-off due to the reception she got, similar to ''Series/AgentCarter'', though this didn't work out.
** Skye/Daisy's father, Cal Johnson. Thanks to him being a complex, CreepyAwesome character and Kyle Maclachlan's magnificent performance, every time he appeared on screen, you can bet the review and comments will be gushing about him and place him as the best thing in the episode.
** Raina has got a lot of attention from fans to her AffablyEvil, AntiVillain and MonsterFanGirl status, with many praising Ruth Negga's awesome performance. It's the point that in the 5th episode was renamed to 'Girl in the Flower Dress' from 'Scorch' because even the creators like her.
** Joey from Season 3, the Inhuman the team rescue in the first episode. Being a total woobie and realistic representation of what its like for a completely ordinary guy to suddenly get destructive powers they can't get rid of, as well as being the MCU's first openly/explicitly gay character, made him very endearing to audiences very quickly. It helped a lot when he reappears after having time to adjust, and is now ''very'' enthusiastic about being a superhero.
** Mike Peterson/Deathlok is pretty well-regarded by fans due to his tragic backstory, status as TheDreaded, and being a completely friendly NiceGuy who happens to be a cyborg super-soldier killing machine.
** Likewise, Yo-Yo Rodriguez, being an Inhuman with a really fun power (limited super speed), a great romance with Mack and a strong friendship with Daisy, and being the only Secret Warrior from the original comics (as well as the only one to stay on the show after the team breaks apart). She was so well-recieved she even got a spin-off mini web series that was highly regarded by the fandom.
** James, the [[AwesomeAussie Australian]] [[CrazySurvivalist survivalist]] inhuman who just keeps getting more badass as the show goes on. There's a reason fans are hoping he joins the Secret Warriors as [[spoiler:Lincoln's replacement]]. Subverted, though, with his [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn in Season 4, though some still love him for his CreepyAwesome portrayal]].
** On the meta side, Kevin Tancharoen is highly regarded as one of the show's most gifted directors, and many fans get excited whenever his name appears in the credits as it inevitably means there's going to be some kind of extra-special set piece.
** Ghost Rider very quickly became one of the most popular characters when he joined the cast in Season 4. His popularity was so great that Hot Toys announced they would be producing a collectible Ghost Rider toy, making him the first character from the show's history to get an action figure[[note]]Not counting the Coulson figures that were made for the first ''Avengers'' movie, which were obviously produced before Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was created.[[/note]].
** Jeffrey Mace, by way of RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap. When introduced, fandom was against him thanks to him initially being described as an ObstructiveBureaucrat type who the team didn't trust, with many resenting him for replacing Coulson as Director. However, his NiceGuy demeanour, genuine respect for the team, his friendly interaction with Daisy, Coulson, and Jemma after they all resolved their initial distrust, lead to him winning over the fanbase, to the point [[spoiler:his death was considered one of the saddest moments in the season]].

Davis even [[spoiler:gets a HeroicSacrifice to take down AIDA]], though it doesn't take. [[spoiler:Many fans were delighted when Piper and Davis returned alive and well in Season 5.]]
** [[MadScientist The Doctor]], Aida's CreepyAwesome [[TheDragon second-in-command]] in the Framework [[spoiler:AKA [[EvilTwin evil Fitz]]]] received almost ''unanimous'' acclaim among fans and critics alike for [[spoiler:Iain de Caestecker]]'s chilling performance and is widely considered to be one of the [[CreepyAwesome scariest]] [[EvilIsCool villains]] in the entire show, if not the entire ''MCU.'' The fact that the two episodes he returned for (one in each season) after Season 4 were some of the best of their respective seasons did nothing to dispel that popularity.
** Though he was [[BaseBreakingCharacter controversial]] in the first half, many fans warmed to Deke Shaw in the back half of Season 5, when he became an unexpected source of [[PluckyComicRelief much-needed levity]] in a very dark season. Especially when it turned out that he was [[spoiler:Fitz-Simmons' grandson]].
** Enoch, the mysterious bald alien man in black from Season 5 erupted in popularity when it turned out [[spoiler:that he was the BigGood of Season 5]], and quickly won over audiences with a killer combination of TheComicallySerious and NiceGuy, even more so following [[spoiler:his HeroicSacrifice in the mid-season finale]]. Naturally, the fans were delighted [[spoiler:when he returned as a main cast member in Seasons 6 and 7]].
** While some people thought that ArcVillain Kasius was boring, most fans agree that his [[TheDragon henchwoman]] Sinara is ''incredibly'' endearing as a villain, due to her [[TheStoic demeanor]], cool telepathic spheres, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnECGzGwX4Q chilling musical theme]] accompanying her, and just Florence Faivre's performance in general.
** Rick Stoner, despite being nothing more than the voice of the Lighthouse's automated security protocol, is a massive hit, probably no doubt thanks to being played by the legendary '''Creator/PatrickWarburton'''.
** Glenn Talbot has became one of the more popular side characters, in large part because of his surprising amount of HiddenDepths early on -- he was initially presented as an InspectorJavert and total {{Jerkass}}, but turned out to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure -- his nuanced CharacterDevelopment into becoming one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s biggest supporters, and his surprisingly [[FireForgedFriends close friendship]] with Coulson (after their initial mutual enmity).
