25	----
26	* CombatMedic: By ''Battleground'' and ''Close Quarters'' Jake is working as an EMT, and there are scenes in both movies where he is using his medical knowledge to try and save someone's life. That said, he is still a marine who can take on several armed men by himself, and he is a total badass doing it.
27	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Jake is a lot more stoic and quiet in ''Homefront'' than he is in future installments. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen This is because the role of Jake Carter was written with Randy Orton in mind instead of the charismatic wiseass that is The Miz]].
28	* TheFettered: Jake will absolutely do the right thing, even if it means taking on biker gangs and the Irish mob to save strangers he doesn't even know. [[spoiler: Sadly this habit got him killed in ''Close Quarters'']].
29	* [[spoiler: TheHeroDies]]: [[spoiler: Jake is killed in ''Close Quarters'']].
30	* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]: [[spoiler: Jake is killed so that Luke and Sarah could escape the mooks that are after them, gunned down before Maddy throws a knife in his chest]].
31	* IconicSequelCharacter: Despite being TheHero of the film series, he didn't appear until the third installment.
32	* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Jake is introduced in The Marine 3: ''Homefront'' as, well, a marine. Then he is [[PrivateMilitaryContractors working in private security]] in ''Moving Target'', assigned to protect a whistleblower trying to expose a corrupt army defense contractor. Then he is an EMT in The Marine 5 and 6.
33	* RightManInTheWrongPlace: This trait is perhaps most apparent in ''Battleground'' and ''Close Quarters''.

39	----
40	* TheBigGuy: Displays most if not all of the traits one of these typically possesses, even at one time charging into a wall to break out of a locked room. Funnily enough Luke and Jake are around the same size.
41	* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler: Rescuing Sarah becomes this for Luke after Maddy Hayes killed his friend Jake]].
42	* TheLancer: To Jake in ''Close Quarters'', though the reverse was true during their time in Afghanistan. [[spoiler: He is promoted to main protagonist for the rest of the movie after Jake is killed by Maddy and her mooks.]]
43	* MrExposition: Within minutes of his introduction, Luke explains that he was once Jake's commanding officer and mentor -- and he explains this to Jake himself, as though he didn't already know who he was.
44	* OldSoldier: Luke is a grizzled old veteran who did several tours in Afghanistan, and he is pretty quick to tell old war stories.
45	* OlderSidekick: He is clearly older than Jake but mainly serves as TheLancer to him for much of ''Close Quarters''.

63	* BombThrowingAnarchists: He is basically this when it comes down to it.
64	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Pope became a terrorist when his family went bankrupt and then lost their house. Then his father was [[DrivenToSuicide driven to suicide]]. Then his sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Yeah, life hasn't been kind to poor Pope.
65	* FaceDeathWithDignity: Pope allows himself to be killed in the climax, knowing that the car bomb he's planted cannot be defused.
66	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Pope claims that his motivation is centered on battling the 'disease' of greed and reclaiming personal responsibility.
67	-->'''Pope:''' "Greed, people. It's a disease that is eating away at our nation from the top down. Personal responsibility. That's what builds a nation. No more, no less."
68	* YouLookFamiliar: Viewers of the {{Series/Arrowverse}} series of shows may know Mister Pope as Damien Dahrk.

81	The main antagonist for The Marine 6: ''Close Quarters'', the daughter of an Irish mob boss who is on trial for a series of vicious crimes. She kidnaps a juror's daughter in order to force him to declare a mistrial via hung jury, so that her father can be freed from custody.
82	----
83	* BadBoss: Kills a couple of {{mooks}} for [[YouHaveFailedMe letting Jake, Luke and Sarah escape twice]].
84	* DarkActionGirl: Not afraid to tussle with two veteran marines.
85	* EvilRedhead: Natch -- she is the main antagonist for ''Close Quarters'', and she is played by the very orange-haired Becky Lynch.
86	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:She ultimately kills Jake, the film's protagonist since.]]
87	* KickTheDog: Cracks a joke [[spoiler: at Jake's expense after she killed him]] to Luke before the final fight.
88	* {{Oireland}}: She is the daughter of an Irish mob boss, and she is also played by the Irish Becky Lynch.
89	* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:She manages to succeed in freeing her father thanks to a hung jury, and she also manages to kill Jake as well. It is short-lived, however, as Luke kills her not long after, and her father is brought up on new charges anyway.]]
90	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Busts out a hurricanrana while fighting Luke during the final fight. It also helps that she is played by, y'know, a wrestler.
