38Frank Castle was a former Marine and NYCPD cop who lost his family during a picnic because of a mob hit ordered on him. After that and his murdering the mod street captain involved, something in Castle died and was replaced by a need for vengeance, setting him on the path to becoming possibly one of the single deadliest men on Earth.

44* BrooklynRage: Frank was born and raised in Brooklyn and you don't want to be on his bad side.
45* CarpetOfVirility: He has a pretty hairy chest, and he's quite the manly guy.

59[[caption-width-right:250: [[labelnote: Click for 1990s Civilian Look]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tchalla_earth_27m.jpg]] [[/labelnote]]
60* ActionPolitician: Part of T'Challa's education included intensive study of not only political and military strategy, world and local history, art, dance, and economics.
61* BodyguardBabes: If you happen to see T'Challa, approach him with caution. If you make any sudden movements toward the prince, you might find yourself tackled by bald African ninja women. Not to worry, these are the Dora Milaje, the Wakandan equivalent of the Secret Service, only a million times cooler, sexier, and scarier.
62* ColorAnimalCodename: '''Black''' Panther.
63* ComicBookFantasyCasting: His appearance is based on Creator/ChadwickBoseman, who played him in the MCU.
64* CulturedBadass: T'Challa has a sensitive side that he is not afraid to show. He has a deep appreciation for art and cultural expressions.

68* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's the crown prince of Wakanda and very much involved in the runnings of his country.

78* DarkIsNotEvil: He's a half-vampire hunter with sharp fangs who dresses in black leather and almost always wears shades, but he's a good guy.

80* HellbentForLeather: Oh yes, he wears quite a lot of black leather, fitting for a vampire hunter.
81* ManlyFacialHair: A well-trimmed goatee and mustache and he sure is manly and edgy.
82* ScaryBlackMan: He might be on the side of good but he can be pretty intimidating if he wants to.
83* VampireHunter: Easily one of the most famous examples.
84* TheyCallHimSword: Almost everyone calls him Blade, very rarely by his real name.

90* AlliterativeName: '''W'''ade '''W'''inston '''W'''ilson.
91* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's not clear if Wade was a latent mutant or he's a mutate given powers by a Super Soldier Formula experiment.
92* AntiHero: Oh yes, Wade is a mercenary who happens to have little qualms about killing his opponents.
93* BunnyEarsLawyer: Make no mistake, Wade is just as talkative and irreverent as he acts, but he's also a genuinely skilled mercenary.
94* BreakingTheFourthWall: As always, Wade will occasionally talk to the audience or reference he's a fictional character, usually to the confusion of whoever he's talking to.
95* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Even without breaking the fourth wall, Wade is a weird person.
96* ComicBookFantasyCasting: His appearance is based on the actor Creator/RyanReynolds, who portrays him in the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' and ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'' films.
97* CunningLinguist: Wilson is reportedly fluent in English, Esperanto, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Pig Latin.
98* DualWielding: His weapon for close quarters are two katanas strapped to his back.
99* FightsLikeANormal: Wade's healing factor doesn't give him any perks beyond making him just as strong as an Olympic athlete. He is an extraordinary martial artist, hand-to-hand combatant, and is a master of multiple unarmed combat techniques. He is also a master of wide variety of assassination techniques, espionage methods, covert operations, infiltration methods, escape artistry, marksmanship, and is highly skilled with many bladed weapons (recent sightings of him in his new "super-suit" describe him carrying two swords strapped to his back), and a number of other weapons including firearms.
100* HealingFactor: Wilson possesses an accelerated healing factor which allows him to regenerate damaged or destroyed bodily tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human — even faster than those of James Logan and Victor Creed.
101* IHaveManyNames: Weapon DPP-001, Armando Khan, DP, Buchanan "Buck" Neket, Jack Koffer, Merc with a Mouth, Regenerating Degenerate.
102* TheMentallyDisturbed: It is possible that Wilson suffers from a wide variety of mental disorders due to his body's regenerative abilities. Among Wilson's mental disorders are partial amnesia, various obsessions (such as the "Golden Girls" TV series), phobias ([[AbsurdPhobia cows, chickens]], being alone), and strange belief that he is a fictional character.
103* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Wilson's healing factor (or mental illness) makes his brain a difficult thing for telepaths to process. Apparently, reading his mind can cause confusion, migraines, or even temporary insanity.
104* MotorMouth: He's the Merc with a Mouth for a reason. Wade never stops talking, even when he's told not to.
105* MysteriousPast: His exact backstory and how he obtained his powers are uncertain, and Wade's memory doesn't help. It's not even clear if Wade Wilson is his actual name.
106* PullingThemselvesTogether: If severed, Wilson's head or any other limb can be quickly reattached. While beheaded, Wilson can still move his body normally (though clumsily). Similarly, his severed limbs are still able to flop, squirm, or drag themselves along the ground. This appears to be possible through some psionic connection Wilson maintains with his living cellular mass. As new parts are regrown, the severed parts decay and the psychic connection likewise diminishes until it fades completely.
107* SerialSpouse: It's easy to tell Deadpool falls in love very quickly, and he's been married at least five times; his ex-wives include Carmelita Camacho, Mercedes Hawkins, Gretchen Bailey, Inez Temple and Raven Darkholme. His current and sixth wife is Vanessa Carlyle/Copycat.
108* TheTopicOfCancer: Wilson suffers from a form of cancer that is aggravated and accelerated by his regenerative powers. The cancer has disfigured him. At this time, it is unknown if this cancer is natural or was a failed attempt to kill him.

112[[caption-width-right:250: [[labelnote: Click for Civilian Look]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doreen_green_earth_27m.jpg]] [[/labelnote]]
113* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Doreen's squirrel tail caused her to get bullied as a child before she ran away from home and began living in Central Park.
114* ChildishToothGap: Which adds to her cuteness.
115* ShoulderPet: Her squirrel partners Monkey Joe and Tippy Toes.
116* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She had orange hair, light green eyes and she's one of the most underestimated heroes in the world.
117* StealthHiBye: Pulls this on Peter Parker after the two first met, leaving a picture of her left in Peter's camera as the only evidence she was there.
118* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Her most obvious power is speaking to squirrels and other similar rodents.

121!!Heroes for Hire
122[[folder:In General]]
123* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Both Misty and Colleen wear in casual clothes midriff baring outfits, while Luke and Danny do not.
124* ColorCodedCharacters: Luke uses yellow, Danny green, Misty red and Colleen uses white.
125* GenderEqualEnsemble: The founding members are two men (Luke and Danny) and two women (Misty and Colleen).

128[[folder:Power Man (Luke Cage / Carl Lucas)]]
129[[caption-width-right:250: [[labelnote: Click for 1990s Civilian Look]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luke_cage_earth_27m.jpg]] [[/labelnote]]
130* BaldHeadOfToughness: Currently just a buzzcut but Luke is incredibly tough thanks to his powers.
131* BoxingBattler: Cage is a self-taught hand-to-hand combatant with street fighting experience. He may have also learned a few moves in prison from Frank or from his roommate who is something of a karate enthusiast.
132* CatchPhrase: As always, ''"Sweet Christmas"''.
133* HealingFactor: On the off-chance that Cage is injured, he can recover about three times faster than a normal person.
134* KnuckleCracking: He has a habit of cracking his knuckles when he's nervous.
135* HeterosexualLifePartners: With his roommate and best friend Danny Rand.
136* RealMenWearPink: Luke is surprisingly good at cooking. If he's not reading a casefile for the Heroes for Hire, he's got his nose in a cookbook for new ideas and techniques.
137* SuperStrength: Cage's strength has increased to levels that surpass those of the test subjects from the original WWII formula. Frank believes that Cage could easily lift one to two tons. He was able to "accidentally" snap police restraints when he has a muscle spasm with a sneeze and was able to easily kick the door off an armored police transport van. In his work as "Power Man", news reports remark that the vigilante can toss grown men aside with one hand.
138* SuperToughness: According to Frank, Cage's muscles, bones and skin are all super-dense, at least as hard as steel. This bestows amazing protection from most violence and environmental hazards. He is able to withstand gunfire at point-blank and cannot even be cut by razor-sharp blades. He also seems unfazed by high-voltage electrical shock, falls from great heights, and even being lit on fire.

141[[folder:Iron Fist (Daniel "Danny" Rand)]]
142[[caption-width-right:250: [[labelnote: Click for 1990s Civilian Look]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/danny_rand_earth_27m.jpg]] [[/labelnote]]
143* BareFistedMonk: Danny is scary good master of K'un-Lun's martial arts style, K'un-Lun Quan. However, he still claims he is little more than a "bumbling amateur" compared to the true masters of the style.
144* CunningLinguist: Danny speaks his native English, but he also seems to have mastered Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Tibetan, Thai, and speaks passable Japanese according to Colleen. He also speaks what sounds like gibberish, but Danny assures it is the language of "Shoulao", the language of K'un-Lun.
145* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Some conversations between Luke and Danny reveal that he has faced no shortage of racial discrimination in his life on account of his being the son of a white South African father and an Asian K'un-Lunese mother. Misty isn't sure whether this was during his childhood in New York or during his training in K'un-Lun, but she guesses it was both. The world's got no shortage of ignorant assholes.
146* MultiMeleeMaster: Apparently K'un-Lun Quan is not the only martial art that the Iron Fist has studied. Easy to guess the mystical city that disappears and reappears every decade has imported masters of all manner of fighting disciplines in order to compliment their own fighting techniques. Other styles which Danny has studied and mastered to some degree include Shaolin Kung Fu, Zuiquan ("Drunken Boxing"), Judo, Aikido, Karate, Tai Chi, Muay Thai, Boxing, Jiu-jitsu, Taekwondo, Capoeira. Yeah, as said so by Misty Knight "bumbling amateur", my ass...
147* NonConformistDyedHair: Misty thinks Danny bleaches his hair blonde as part of an Iron Fist ritual (something about the champions of K'un-Lun adorning their heads in a "mantle of golden light"), but there are people who think Danny does it to make himself look more like his father to dispute the claim the real Danny Rand died ten years ago.
148* PowerTattoo: His signature dragon chest tattoo, which is noticeable even with a shirt on.
149* RaceLift: In the comics Danny was white, but here he's half-white and half-Asian, K'un-Lun to be precise.

154* AfroAsskicker: Misty has a prominent afro and she's quite the crime fighter.
155* CoolShades: She wears red-tinted glasses in casual clothes.
156* LovelyAngels: With Colleen Wing.
157* MrExposition: She's the one who administers the [=KnightWatch=] files, who are centered around New York's street level vigilantes.
158* NearRapeExperience: Some frat boys tried to rape her during a party, but she gave more of a fight they expected and she would be saved by the "Devil" (Matt Murdock). When the frat boys got off scott free due to their connections and she tried to get revenge, turns out Matt had already gotten to them first and made them admit they had already killed two other girls.
159* RedIsHeroic: Wears a red tank-top, headband and even glasses and she's a heroic individual.
160* RelatedInTheAdaptation: She's the niece of Joseph "Robbie" Robertson through her mother Janet, also making her cousin of Randy Robertson.
161* StatuesqueStunner: She stands at 5'9"/175cm tall and she's considered quite attractive.
162* YouTalkTooMuch: Colleen thinks she talks too much about herself.

166[[caption-width-right:250: [[labelnote: Click for 1990s Civilian Look]] https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/colleen_wing_earth_27m.jpg]] [[/labelnote]]
167* BadassBookworm: Not only she's a badass samurai lady, she's also a full-time student of ESU, studying literature. According to Misty, Colleen's idea of a vacation is locking herself in a room with a stack of books.
168* ButNotTooForeign: She's half-Japanese through her mother Azumi Ozawa and a quarter Chinese and white through her father Richard Wing.
169* ClothingReflectsPersonality: Colleen's sense of style is always visible, despite her cold palate, abundance of sports attire, and lack of makeup or flair. Colleen does accessorize a little, but it's never showy, over-the-top, or in-your-face. That's not to say it's not bold or absurd because it often is, it's just less is more with Colleen. In general, her style is a lot like her personality: non-aggressive, not seeking attention, but it's there and if you take the time to notice it, you'll see it's cute as hell and taunting you that it took you this long to notice just how amazing it's always been.
170* HamAndDeadpanDuo: She's the quiet and deadpan to Misty's talkative and energetic.
171* InscrutableOriental: At least according to Misty, who finds her at times too quiet and mysterious.
172* KatanasAreJustBetter: She wields the AncestralWeapon of her family Ryuumusume, or "Dragon's Daughter".
173* KiManipulation: According to Danny, Colleen has an exceptionally potent natural ability to channel chi. She's training with Danny to master it.
174* LovelyAngels: With Misty Knight.
175* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her name is actually Kaori, but allows people to call her Colleen since it's easier to pronounce, although she does use Kaori while in Japan.
176* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She was born with rare red hair, which in Chinese culture is considered lucky, and she occasionally uses green or blue contact lenses in her otherwise white wardrobe.
