11
12	The dinosaur-morphing class leader of Avengers Academy who always aspired to be an Avenger. He's trapped alongside four other members of his team on Murderworld, and he wants to lead his team off the island and get back to his girlfriend. He also wants to avoid doing something he'll regret in order to protect them.
13
14	Please see the [[Characters/AvengersAcademy Avengers Academy character sheet]] for that series' specific tropes about Reptil.
15	----
16	* CollateralAngst: In #11, his point-of-view issue, the plot revolves around him trying to shake Hazmat out of her grief-fueled depression and denial and his frustrations at failing at it (and eventually just letting her do whatever she wants).
17	* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He's scarred up pretty bad after [[spoiler: Deathlocket shoots him with her laser (under control by Apex).]] Hazmat made sure he healed fully by staying by his side.
18	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: After he sees Hazmat about to go nuclear, he scoops her up with no hesitation and rushes her to the ocean to contain the blast.]].
19	* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: He felt very badly about even ''thinking'' about killing Chase and Nico, he doesn't want to play Arcade's game, and just wants to get back home to his maybe-girlfriend White Tiger.
20	* LoveTriangle: As carry-over from Comicbook/AvengersAcademy. It's still very complicated between Reptil, Finesse and ComicBook/WhiteTiger. Reptil was last dating White Tiger at Avengers Academy and possibly lamented being without her in issue #4, but in issue #10 it's revealed he may still have feelings for Finesse. On top of that, he doesn't know if his feelings are returned. Issue #13 reveals that Finesse still does love him.
21	* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: His final fate is uncertain. His body was displayed on page with rescuers finding him in the water and giving the thumbs-up sign, making it unclear whether or not he survived saving Hazmat. Hopeless said that as far as he is concerned, Reptil is dead but his fate was LeftHanging in case the character is to be used in the future. He turned up alive ''five years later'' in Creator/BrianMichaelBendis's final issue of ''The Invincible Comicbook/IronMan'' starring ComicBook/{{Ironheart}} and later gets his own solo series in 2021, 7 years after ''Arena''.]].

As she attends Avengers Academy and becomes a hero, she comes to term with her powers, becomes more vulnerable and nicer (well, ''slightly'') and even gains a boyfriend in Mettle. Murderworld is taxing her sanity and strength as she tries to survive while coping with tragedy.
27
28	Please see the [[Characters/AvengersAcademy Avengers Academy character sheet]] for that series' specific tropes about Hazmat.
29	----
30	* BreakTheCutie: She's harsher than your typical cutie, but she's been through absolute hell while in Murderworld.
31	* FailureKnight: : With [[spoiler: Mettle]] dead, she doesn't want to lose [[spoiler: another Academy member]]. In #4, she's first seen begging the others to keep looking for the missing Juston after they spent a day hunting and looking for clues to where his Sentinel crashed. She still feels guilty about them both and blames herself for getting [[spoiler: Mettle]] killed.
32	* HairTriggerTemper: She's always been quick to anger. And now, [[spoiler: with Mettle dead]], it's gotten worse with her ready to attack anyone outside the other Academy students. Including people she has met before like the Runaways.
33	* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler: Having Mettle killed in front of her]] hasn't diminished her fighting and hero skills. It possibly ''strengthened'' them due to [[spoiler: her anger and grief]].
34	* HeroicBSOD: In issue #11, she loses it badly and just wants to enjoy the time she has left on the island in denial. In actuality, [[spoiler: she is still grieving over Mettle, and wanted to just not think about him or Murderworld anymore.]]
35	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: How Reptil identifies her HeroicBSOD.
36	* ParentalMarriageVeto: A sad carryover from ''Avengers Academy''. It's revealed that Hazmat's parents disapprove of her relationship with Mettle.
37	* SuperPowerMeltdown: She survives X-23's attack, but [[spoiler: loses complete control of her powers and nearly causes a huge meltdown. Reptil rushes her to water and contains the blast, and Hazmat survives and is cured of her PowerIncontinence.]]

42	An OppositeSexClone of Wolverine and trained assassin. She's served on the Comicbook/XMen and even spent time on the ComicBook/XForce, the X-Men's secret assassination squad.

48	* SherlockScan: ''Arena'' reminds the audience that when entering a room, ComicBook/{{X 23}}'s brain automatically begins to calculate the best method by which to kill ''everyone in it''. Her thoughts in her focus issue reveal that ''she can't turn it off'', so she even does this with her friends.
49	* TechnicalPacifist: She tries not to resort to violence and only fights if someone attacks her or her friends. Sadly, this goes out the window if she smells the trigger scent.
50	* TraumaticHaircut: During their fight, Hazmat nukes X-23 and in the process, completely torches Laura's hair. After the events on Arcade's island, X-23 is found wandering homeless by the O5 X-Men and Laura's still totally bald.

53
54	!!'''Juston Seyfert'''
55	[[quoteright:113:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/juston_562.jpeg]]
56

58
59	Please see the [[Characters/AvengersAcademy Avengers Academy character sheet]] for that series' specific tropes about Juston.
60	----
61	* BreakTheCutie: Juston was always a sweet kid, but [[spoiler: Apex crippling him]] and being left in the desert for a week, has completely broken his spirit and made him angry enough to want to kill [[spoiler: her]].

63	* DespairEventHorizon: He knows he's one of the weakest on the island, due to him having no powers and [[spoiler: Sentinel being destroyed by Apex]]. But he's motivated enough to take vengeance on [[spoiler: Apex]] once he gets his buddy's body up and running again.

Even worse, it's revealed that his father did not want him to go to Avengers Academy.
68	* TheWorfEffect: His sentinel is the first 'victim' of [[spoiler: Apex's technopathy]].
69	* WalkingSpoiler: Impressive, for someone who was PutOnABus for several issues [[spoiler: before he was killed.]]
70

72	[[quoteright:115:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mettle_9147.jpeg]]
73
74	The BigGuy of Avengers Academy. Despite his red iridium skin, huge physique, and scary skull face, Mettle is a absolute sweetheart. When transported to Murderworld, Mettle's gentle soul is tested, especially to see if he would do ''anything'' protect his girlfriend, Hazmat.
75
76	Please see the [[Characters/AvengersAcademy Avengers Academy character sheet]] for that series' specific tropes about Mettle.
77	----
78	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: [[spoiler: You couldn't tell by looking at him, but Mettle is African-American and Jewish. And he's the first causality of Avengers Arena.]]
79	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Via TakeMeInstead. He gives up his life in order to save Hazmat.]]
80	* LoveMakesYouCrazy: He tells Hazmat that maybe they should actually take Arcade seriously. When Hazmat tells him she's not bowing down to a villain, Mettle says that he doesn't care if anyone else dies, just so long as she doesn't.
81	* LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler: What Arcade reduces him to, just by ''pointing a finger at him.'']]

88	!!'''Chase Stein'''
89	[[quoteright:113:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chase_3225.jpeg]]
90
91	Chase is a complicated boy: he's smart but lazy, friendly but prone to anger, very open but keeps secrets. He's transported to Murderworld along with Nico. He's survived battles against gods, killer robots, aliens and other things, but in Murderworld, he's afraid he'll survive again.
92
93	Please see the [[Characters/{{Runaways}} Runaways character sheet]] for that series' specific tropes about Chase.
94	----
95	* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: [[spoiler: Chase comes across Darkhawk's fallen amulet, and the amulet dives into his chest and now Chase has the [[PoweredArmor Darkhawk armor.]]]]
96	* AndIMustScream: Apex [[spoiler: used her technopathy to control Chase's Darkhawk armor]], so he was completely helpless [[spoiler: when she used him to kill Nico]].
97	* FailureKnight: Since losing Gertrude, he has now transferred all of his energy into protecting Nico in Murderworld.
98	* MindManipulation: Was under [[spoiler: Apex's]] control for a bit, while still [[spoiler: in the Darkhawk armor.]]
99	* PragmaticHero: He didn't want to do it but he rationalized killing [[spoiler: Tom]] to save the group and Nico if it meant finishing off Apex.
100	* RememberThatYouTrustMe: Between him and Nico, stemming from issues dating back all the way from the second volume of ''Runaways''. Nico still finds it hard to trust Chase completely, and within Murderworld, this is exacerbated. It doesn't help that he hid the fact that [[spoiler: he had the Darkhawk armor and thought killing Tim/Apex was a reasonable solution. He was right in hindsight, but it still disturbed her.]]
101	* SurvivorGuilt: Being in Murderworld has brought his guilt over Gert back to the surface.
102	* VerbalTic: Chase sometimes says "Yo" when he speaks, something Cammi makes fun of in #17.
103
104	!!'''Nico Minoru'''
105	[[quoteright:113:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nico_5458.jpeg]]
106
107	Nico is the leader of the Runaways, who still has doubts about her leadership skills. She has a no-nonsense personality and an aptitude for magic, but with her powers on the fritz she may be less powerful than she previously was. Despite this, she's determined not to play into Arcade's hands.
108
109	Please see the [[Characters/{{Runaways}} Runways character sheet]] for that series' specific tropes about Nico.
110	----
111	* AnArmAndALeg: Not only does she get her leg broken by [[spoiler: Apex controlling Sentinel]] (complete with a gruesome shots of her leg bone sticking out), she gets her arm completely blown off by a [[spoiler: mind-controlled Darkhawk before getting kicked down a incline.]]
112	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: After she was killed, she was resurrected by the Staff of One by a death rattle spell.]]
113	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Being [[spoiler: killed, and then resurrected affected her and she's done playing nice. She actually orders Chase to attack Reptil, and then later she attacks a bleeding Cullen.]]
114	* BreakTheCutie: All she went through [[spoiler: including getting brutally killed]] pushed her to the point at which she would [[spoiler: willingly kill Apex]].
115	* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler: After her resurrection, she gets new hand that allows her to cast spells without Staff of One and would the staff be taken from her, she can now summon it back at instant.]]
116	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: She sets up a teleportation spell for the others, and closes it off after she gets injured to prevent Apex from following them.]]
117	* PowerIncontinence: Her magic isn't working as strongly as it should, due to the effects of magic inhibiting nanites scattered in the air. All her escape spells failed and she had to cut herself several times in order to get one particular spell (creating a food tree) to work the way she wanted it. Combat and rescue spells work unhindered, however.
118	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: She felt terrible about Apex killing Juston and getting away. She steadfastly defends the crew against Apex and the Sentinel to make it and makes sure the others escape quickly.]]
119	* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Part of her jumping on the bandwagon to start killing the other teens was that she thought that she [[spoiler: killed both Apex and Deathlocket]], and it didn't matter what she did next.
120	* YouShallNotPass: She held off Apex and her small horde solo while everyone else dealt with the unconscious X-23, only running on her word to.

133
134	She only has the ability to fly, but Katy Bashir makes up for it in her intellect, craftiness, and ruthlessness. She is all too eager to start playing Arcade's game in order to save her skin. Despite her supposedly weak powers, Apex may be the biggest player in Murderworld. She has a twin brother named Tim that she shares the same body with, that due to [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetic manipulation]] by her parents.

She survived, but her father (Harlan Ryker, cybernetic genius and a creator of Deathlok) had to transform her into a cyborg in order save her life. Rebecca is innocent young girl who doesn't mean to hurt anyone, but there's no room for nice people in Murderworld.
167	----
168	* AlliterativeName ''Rebecca Ryker''. Everyone on the island just calls her Death Locket.
169	* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's browner-skinned than the white kids of Arena, and her name is not indicative of any ethnicity.
170	* AnArmAndALeg: She was missing one arm and one leg that we replaced with cybernetics.[[spoiler: Then in Murderworld, Nico disassembles her cybernetic arm after she is resurrected. Tim fixes it, but then it's broken again by Arcade.]]

You can also add being controlled by Apex into shooting at the heroes, not to mention killing her first love to the list.]]
173	* TheCutie: Deathlocket is very sweet and friendly, which is remarkable considering the circumstances.
174	* InconsistentSpelling: Apparently, the correct way to spell her name is "Death Locket" or "Deathlocket." Others have spelled it "Deathlockett," "Deathlokette," "Deathlokett," etc.
175	* TheIngenue: Deathlocket is completely new to the superhero world and very naive, which leads her to be [[spoiler: taken advantage of in Murderworld by Apex.]]

177	* KillTheOnesYouLove: [[spoiler: She reluctantly kills Tim after he begs her to do it so Apex could be finished once and for all.]]
178	* LoveAtFirstSight: After [[spoiler: Tim]] introduces himself, Deathlocket takes up for him instantly and defends him against the kids, and later it turns out to be an attraction.
179	* PowerIncontinence: Death Locket can not control her cybernetics correctly. [[spoiler: Apex has no problem doing that, but Tim is willing to help her.]]
180	* UnwillingRoboticisation: Becoming a cyborg was something forced on Rebecca by her father to save her life.

191	** The exception might be her eyes. She has the best long-distance vision on the island, and the artwork suggests she's got some sort of StatOVision going on. A minor cybernetic upgrade would be entirely in line with her "hardass space pirate" background.
192	* CrazySurvivalist: Not just in space but in Murderworld, she's already set up traps and routinely scouts the area.
193	* IJustWantToBeSpecial: She hates just being a non-powered human, to the point of rejecting going back to Earth to avoid punishment.
194	* IOweYouMyLife: Because Nico saved her and the whole group from [[spoiler: Apex controlling the Sentinel and Deathlocket]], she feels that she needs to repay her and tries to convince her not to kill anyone else later in the game.
195	* TheNicknamer: She comes up with cutesy nicknames for just about everyone. She even dubbed Anachronism "Axbro", the AscendedMeme from around the fandom.
196	* OldSoldier: Compared to most of the kids stuck on Murderworld, she has the most hero experience and can survive on her own. She also takes a bit of a mentor/leader role amongst the other players.
197	* OnlySaneMan: She is the only teen thinking long-term strategy and survival and she took up for Nico, [[spoiler: even after she let Apex get away and Juston got killed.]] She tries desperately not to fall into Arcade's trap, but the other kids around her are willing to play the game.
198	* PrecociousCrush: She reveals in #14 that she did fall in love with Drax, even though she was 10 at the time. Now that she's a teenager, she may have had the time to reflect on it and figured out that she did love him.
