2[[folder:Captain America]]
3!!Steve Rogers
4[[quoteright:292:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_8602.jpeg]]
5The "first" Avenger and formerly the premier superhero of Earth.
6----
7* BadassNormal: Downplayed as he still technically has superpowers but having "pinnacle" human attributes in a world of superhumans makes him this by default.
8* GoodScarsEvilScars: Bears a scar in the shape of an A on his forehead where the same letter once sat on his mask.
9* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: The super-soldier serum may have kept him in fighting shape as the years went by, but it didn't stop him from losing all his hair.
10* NeckSnap: He killed the Red Skull this way in the past as revenge for him killing an old flame of his, and is forced to kill the Skull the same way to end the Skull’s brainwashing of his fellow heroes.
11* OldSoldier: Grizzled, angst-ridden, haunted by his past, check, check, check.
12* OldSuperhero: Time hasn’t affected his super-soldier physique, but he’s now bald, and both physically and [[ShellShockedVeteran mentally]] battle-scarred.
13* ShellShockedVeteran: His decades of fighting and losing people he loves have taken a heavy toll on him.
14* UnSorcerer: The super-soldier serum that had originally made him greater than any human warrior now ironically has protected him from the Terrigan Mists that have turned everyone around him into a superhuman far beyond him.
15* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Elevated from wearing a flag inspired outfit to wearing an ACTUAL flag as a makeshift toga.
16

18
19[[folder:Thor]]
20!!Thor Odinson
21
22The God of Thunder now once more exiled to Earth and transmogrified into a female form.
23----
24* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Thor's transformation into a woman was against his will but it also doesn't seem to bother "her" too much and "she" never really makes any great efforts to either return to male shape or correct those who use she/her pronouns in their regard.
25* AttractiveBentGender: A number of characters remark on how attractive "she" is, including those who knew Thor before his transformation.
26* GenderBender: This was done as a punishment by Odin (manipulated by Loki) to further teach Thor humility as he felt the original punishment of exile didn't do the job well enough. The idea of being a woman as a punishment can be chalked up to DeliberateValuesDissonance with the not exactly feminist Norse Gods.
27* PhysicalGod: It’s ''Thor'' we’re talking about here, what did you expect?
28* TheAgeless: True to his/“her” nature, he/“she” hasn’t aged.
29[[/folder]]
30
31[[folder:Iron Man]]
32!!Anthony Stark
33[[quoteright:509:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_8778.jpeg]]
34
35The former Armored Avenger has sealed himself in a giant suit of Red Ronin armor (renamed Iron Manor) to shield himself from Plague X.
36----
37* OldSuperhero: Now an old man with a long, white BeardOfSorrow.
38* PoweredArmor: This is Iron Man we’re talking about here. But this version of him has made his new home in the ''[[HumongousMecha skyscraper-sized]]'' Red Ronin armor. ''That shoots [[AbnormalAmmo Iron Man suits]].''
39* SurvivorGuilt: He feels this after the Absorbing Man kills all members of the current Avengers roster except for Vision.
40[[/folder]]
41
42[[folder:Bruce Banner & The Hulk]]
43!!Bruce Banner
44
45The Incredible Hulk, now one being in two separate forms after Plague X.
46----
47* TheDividual: Still technically one entity but with two bodies: a recreation of a pre-teen Bruce Banner and a monstrous ape-like Hulk body. To emphasize this connection, Bruce's eyes are useless and the only way he sees are through the eyes of the Hulk.
48* TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: Little Bruce is the "mind" and the Hulk body has all the brute strength. Bruce commands its actions.
49* KillerGorilla: The Hulk now resembles a green hairless gorilla, but he’s still as heroic as ever.
50[[/folder]]
51
52[[folder:The Vision]]
53!!Vision
54[[quoteright:720:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_8777.jpeg]]
55 [[caption-width-right:720:Vision and the Iron Avengers.]]
56
57The synthezoid himself, and the only one of the last Avengers roster to survive Absorbing Man’s attack. He now leads an army of Iron Avengers, androids designed in the likeness of his dead teammates.
58----
59* InTheHood: He now wears a yellow hood.
60* SoleSurvivor: The Vision was part of the final Avengers roster (Vision, Hawkeye, Giant-Man, Wasp, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch) who fought the Absorbing Man, who was now more powerful than ever and had absorbed Ultron’s intellect. Vision managed to defeat the empowered supervillain, but by then, all of his teammates had already been killed.
61* TheAgeless: Comes with being a synthezoid.
62[[/folder]]
63
64[[folder:Daredevil]]
65!!Unknown
66[[quoteright:420:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_8779.jpeg]]
67
68A mysterious showman who tours the world with his death-defying carnival act.
69----
70* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Marvels X'' is a {{Prequel}} that's eventually revealed to be his OriginsEpisode.
71* CreepyGood: Undoubtedly a benevolent person (if not a particularly heroic one) but his joyful attitude towards his own death and his far more satanic take on the classic Daredevil outfit do give one pause.
72* DeathSeeker: His HealingFactor has led him to be numb to not only pain but life itself, his act is little more than an attempt to finally find something that can genuinely harm him. When he's attacked en mass by a crowd he genuinely thanks them.
73* FromASingleCell: That’s how powerful his healing factor is.
74* HealingFactor: An incredibly powerful one that includes the ability to regenerate FromASingleCell. Giving a new meaning to the Daredevil motto "Man without Fear".
75[[/folder]]
76
77[[folder:Spider-Man]]
78!!Peter Parker
79
80The aged and widowed webslinger, who comes out of retirement and joins the NYPD.
81----
82* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite having gained weight, he still retains his spider-powers when he goes back into action. In the sequels he’s gotten back into shape.
83* FormerlyFit: The most memorable thing about this Spider-Man is that he gained a spare tyre in his retirement. Despite this, he is never seen stuffing himself, and in the sequels he has lost a fair bit of weight.
84* HesBack: He dons a spare Halloween costume of his old attire and returns to join the fight against the Skull and his army.
85* OldSuperhero: Despite having gray temples and a spare tyre (at first) he still has his Spider-powers and returns to the fight against the Skull’s army.
86* PapaWolf: Despite their relationship with each other being strained at first, Peter still cares about May, and comes to save her from the Skull’s control. The two become closer after this.
87* SuperCop: He and his daughter May Parker/Venom both join the New York Police Department.
88[[/folder]]
89
90[[folder:Venom]]
91!!May Parker
92[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mayx_3450.jpg]]
93
94Daughter of Spider-Man and the late Mary-Jane Parker, current host of the Venom symbiote.
95----
96* AntagonisticOffspring: After her mother passed away from cancer, May’s relationship with her father became strained, and it got worse when she bonded with the Venom symbiote. It didn’t improve until he freed her from the Skull’s control and they joined the NYPD together.
97* CreepyGood: No one familiar with the previous Venom (including her own father) entirely trusts her, doesn't help that the symbiote takes the form of an ominous black dress and veil in the style of WidowsWeeds when she's not in action.
98* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Played with. Non-romantic but Peter Parker has never forgiven his daughter for bonding with the Venom symbiote.
99* IHaveNoSon: She's not been fully disowned but her relationship with her father is incredibly strained. He's never forgiven her for becoming the new Venom. She keeps trying to maintain a relationship but she refuses to apologize for being herself.
100* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Tries to beat Spiders Man to death after he shows her what her father always wanted, coming close to caving his head in with a spiked mace before Peter stops her.
101* NoSell: The symbiote made her immune to Spiders Man's illusions.
102* SuperCop: She joins the New York Police Department alongside her father Peter/Spider-Man.
103* TaintedVeins: May's face is covered in pronounced black veins when she retracts the symbiote, and her costume is covered in blood-red vein-like markings.
104[[/folder]]
105
106[[folder:The Skull]]
107!!Benjamin Beckley
108
109A powerful young telepath who has created an ever-growing army of followers to take over Earth.
110----
111* AbhorrentAdmirer: Has what would normally be considered a "schoolboy crush" on Venom... that is if this particular school boy didn't ALSO have the power to bend the poor woman he's crushing on to his will.
112* BigBad: Of the first part of Earth-X before the Celestials take over in the last part.
113* EmoTeen: Started out as this, but he eventually became ''much'' worse.
114* EnfantTerrible: A child whose god-like telepathic powers have left him with no one to keep him in check and the idea that he can, and should, get whatever he wants.
115* MindRape: His entire [=MO=], he instantaneously takes over whoever he meets they then become his personal slaves. Horrifyingly they remain aware of what is happening but are unable to control themselves.
116* PowerPerversionPotential: He uses his mind control to force Venom (Mayday Parker) into becoming his "lady".
117[[/folder]]
118

120!!Namor
121
122The anti-hero monarch of Atlantis.
123----
124* TheAgeless: Despite the years between this story and canon, Namor has retained his youthful appearance.
125* BodyHorror: After killing Johnny Storm in a fit of rage he was cursed by Johnny's grieving nephew [[RealityWarper Franklin]] to forever burn when above water but as a hybrid Atlantean he must also regularly return to the surface or go insane. Leaving him in a constant state of pain no matter what he does.
126* FlyingBrick: Retains the SuperStrength and flight most depictions of Namor have.
127* HeroKiller: The reason Franklin Richards cursed him is because he murdered Frankin’s uncle, Johnny Storm/Human Torch.
128* ManOnFire: '''On half of his body'''. You can thank Franklin Richards for that as revenge for Namor’s murder of Franklin’s uncle Johnny.
129* RedBaron: Now almost exclusively referred to as Namor "the Cursed".
130[[/folder]]
131
132[[folder:The Thing]]

134[[quoteright:859:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_8604.jpeg]]

139* HappilyMarried: To Alicia Masters.
140* InformedAttribute: In the sketchbook special, Ben is said to be a voice of wisdom in a world still in shock, despite that attribute not showing.
141* SuperStrength: His power is undiminished with age.

150----
151* EyeBeams: His eye-beams remain as powerful as ever, and he puts them to good use against such opponents as a Hydra parasite, Charmer’s snake illusions, and a Wendigo army.
152* OldSuperhero: Scott has aged, but he’s still capable of fighting. When the new X-Men attack Cyclops to prove they can hang, Scott mops the floor with them despite being outnumbered five to one and fighting people young enough to be his kids, one of whom is a giant.
153
154[[/folder]]
155

158[[quoteright:544:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_8775.jpeg]]

160One of the former X-Men. His powers are the same, but he’s now stuck in ice form.
161----
162* BlessedWithSuck: Bobby retains his powers, but has lost the ability to change back from his ice form. This has caused him to retreat to the North Pole to avoid melting. After the destabilisation of the Earth from the Celestial Embryo’s destruction, New York is cold enough for him to return.
163* AnIcePerson: He’s now this, full time, and has relocated to the Arctic.

191
192Former ally of the Fantastic Four, ex-boyfriend of She-Hulk, now the partner of Captain America.
193----
194* LostLenore: She-Hulk being the host for the new alien Mistress Hydra takes an extreme toll on him and he is still devoted to trying to rescue her somehow, despite most acting like it's a lost cause.
195* {{Expy}}: More or less takes Falcon's place in more ways then one: As both Captain America's partner, his whole bird theme and even his codename was the name of Falcon's pet bird.
196[[/folder]]
197
198[[folder:Iron Maiden]]

214----
215* CanonForeigner: A original character for the Earth X series.
216* IdenticalStranger: Spiders Man happened to mutate in such a way as to very closely resemble Spider-Man when he was, you know, still Spider-Man.
217* MythologyGag: Unrelated to Spider-Man but his name and appearance are inspired by him.
218* NoSell: His illusions have no effect on May Parker due to the Venom Symbiote protecting her.
219[[/folder]]
220
221[[folder:The Goblin King]]
222!!Norman Osborn
223
224The former Green Goblin, Osborn was mutated by the Terrigen Mists into an ''actual'' green goblin, who wears a mask to appear human. By the time the story begins, he is the U.S President and has Tony Stark and his Iron Avengers working for him.
225----
226* BigBadWannabe: He appears to be the main antagonistic force ruling New York - and then the Skull and his brainwashed cronies come knocking.
227* DirtyCoward: When the Skull arrives with his army at his HQ, Norman tries begging his way out of danger. It doesn’t work.
228* PresidentEvil: It’s ''Norman freaking Osborn'' as the President, what did you expect?

230
231[[folder:X-51]]
232!!Aaron Stack/X-51
233[[quoteright:559:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_8650.jpeg]]
234
235Formerly the robot hero known as Machine-Man, recruited by Uatu the Watcher.
236----
237* AscendedExtra: Machine-Man/X-51 was an extremely minor superhero in the regular Marvel Comics, now made the Uatu's replacement as the Watcher and given an extremely important role in a story that concerns the entire Marvel universe.
238* BecomeARealBoy: He really wants to be more human.
239* CharacterNarrator: Serves as this in his capacity as the "new" Watcher.
240* DeathOfPersonality: What Uatu wants for him but ultimately averted. Uatu continually says he won't give Aaron the information he seeks till he deletes his emotional programing and embraces simply being a robot.
241* DoNotCallMePaul: Prefer his "human" name of Aaron Stack as part of Uatu's insistence that he let go of his humanity/emotions he continuously calls him by his designation of X-51 instead, despite Aaron's repeated requests not to.
242* MythologyGag: The character of Machine Man has his roots in the original 2001: A Space Odyssey comics. How does Uatu recruit him? Why by way of a giant black monolith of course.
243[[/folder]]
244
245[[folder:Uatu]]
246
247The Watcher, now blinded by Black Bolt and needing X-51 to do his duty for him.
248----

250* TheHeavy: It turns out that Watchers were basically enslaved by Celestials to monitor the development of Celestials gestating within the planets they're watching over. Uatu was blinded to keep the Celestials in the dark, and he picked Machine Man as his replacement to fulfill his duties.
