  • Captain Superhero: Notably one of the few to actually obtain the rank of captain.
  • Composite Character: Combines his backstory from the MCU with a few elements from the comics.

  • Significant Birth Date: Yes, Captain America was born on the 4th of July of 1918.

  • Benevolent A.I.: FRIDAY (Female Responsive Intelligent Digital Assistive Yeoman) is the artificial intelligence system integrated into the Mark 3 armor. FRIDAY acts as Tony Stark's trusted companion, assisting him with real-time data analysis, threat assessment, and mission coordination.

  • The Beastmaster: Through the use of hidden cybernetic implants, Van Dyne can channel her biolectricity to communicate with and control certain higher insects, in a manner similar to Ant-Man's Helmet.

  • Cool Car: Resplendent in its custom canary yellow paint job, Jan's Jaguar XJS is a head-turner on any boulevard. The sleek, aerodynamic curves of the classic British coupe are only further accentuated by the vibrant hue, giving it a sun-kissed radiance that shimmers under daylight.

  • Cunning Linguist: Van Dyne can speak fluent English, Spanish, French, and Italian.
  • The Fashionista: Van Dyne is a very talented fashion designer. Her talent has earned her a great deal of acclaim in the fashion world. Her talents also extend to designing colorfully armored adventuring costumed using the unstable fabric engineered by her father.
  • Flight: Due to the small insects-like wings created by her husband, Van Dyne can fly at incredible fast speeds when at reduced size. The wings are functional when she is nearly a foot shorter than her height. Her flight speed can also allow her to gain a form of superhuman reflexes and agility, being able to easily evade targets and attacks, especially when at reduced size.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thor_earth_27m.jpg
Click for Donald Blake
  • Action Dad: Just like in the myths, Thor has three children fathered with different mothers; he fathered Magni with Jarnsaxa, Modi by Brynhild, and Thrud with Sif.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Donald Blake is portrayed with blonde hair in the Marvel comics, but here he has strawberry blonde hair.
  • Amnesiac Hero: Doesn't remember much about his past, only that he showed up on Earth under Hydra's control during WWII, before being freed from their influence and wandering the Earth on his own.
  • Amplifier Artifact: Megingjord, Thor's fabled "belt of strength" that enhances his already formidable strength, increasing his power and allowing him to perform incredible feats.
  • Angel Unaware: Even Fury Sr. suspected Donald Blake was actually Thor, the Norse God of Thunder.
  • Conspicuous Gloves: Járngreipr, a pair of leather gloves with orichalcum embellishments that are worn by Thor. These gloves assist him in wielding Mjolnir effectively and provide additional strength and grip for his battles. Using these gloves, Thor is able to hold onto Mjolnir when he throws the hammer to effectively allow him to fly.
  • God of Thunder: One of the most famous examples and it's literally one of his titles
  • I Have Many Names: Donnergott, The Tourist, Thunder God.
  • In-Series Nickname: Donny, Heartbreaker, Point Breaker, Sparkles.
  • Manly Facial Hair: Of course, even as Donald Blake he has his manly beard.
  • The Needless: Blake's advanced musculature is much more efficient than that of a human and most augmented persons encountered by Shield, allowing him to sustain himself almost indefinitely without any exhaustion. Though he has little need for food, water, sleep, and oxygen — he does fund such things to be enjoyable and prefers to indulge in such "luxuries."
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Though he is not impervious to injury, Blake is able to resist gunfire (bullets are usually more of an annoyance than a threat) and finds the unarmed attacks of most "mere mortals" to be quite laughable. When he is injured, he also appears to heal at a rate far surpassing those of normal persons.
  • Official Couple: Currently dating Jane Foster.
  • Omniglot: Blake appears to have some innate ability to speak, read, and understand all known languages, though his fluency varies based on his overall previous exposure.
  • One-Man Army: Blake is a highly skilled warrior, proficient in unarmed combat and even more proficient with most basic weaponry with a particular preference for hammers and axes. It is quite clear that he has been waging wars for quite some time.
  • Primary-Color Champion: In his formal Asgardian dress he wears blue and red, plus his eyes glow golden.
  • Spare to the Throne: For a time he was Odin's heir, but after the birth of his half-brothers Baldr and Hodr, he was pushed further back in the line of succession.
  • Supernatural Gold Eyes: Unlike the comics who has blue eyes, he has golden eyes, an indicator there's more to him that meets the eye.
  • Super-Speed: Blake can keep pace with sports cars while running on-foot for short distances. Likewise, his reflexes are far superior to those of a human.
  • Super-Strength: Blake has shown many feats of strength over the years. He has proven himself able to bend adamantium and snap steel with his bare hands.
  • Thunder Hammer: His signature weapon Mjolnir. It is a formidable and indestructible weapon forged by the dwarves Brokkr and Sindri. Mjolnir is known for its ability to crush enemies with great force, returning to Thor's hand after being thrown, transforming itself into innocuous forms to avoid detection, and possessing a spirit of its own that chooses to prevent the "unworthy" of wielding it in battle.
  • Truer to the Text: Instead of blonde like in the comics, Thor has strawberry blonde hair, which is more in line with the myths, which represent him with red hair.

    The Hulk (Bruce Banner) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_hulk__earth_27m__commission_by_phil_cho_dfwqktl_fullview.jpg
Click for Civilian Look
  • Abusive Parents: His father Brian Banner was a violent alcoholic who deeply resented his son for his intelligence and the love of his wife Rebecca. This made Brian beat Rebecca to death in front of young Bruce and would get Brian the death penalty several years later.
  • Alliterative Name: Bruce Banner.
  • Best Friend: His best friend is Hank Pym.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Bruce is most of the time non-confrontational, while the Hulk prefers to be left alone, but as the saying goes, you wouldn't like him when he's angry.
  • Big Brother Instinct: When Emil Blonsky shot his cousin Jen in front of him, he turned into the Hulk and gave him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown.
  • Brains and Brawn: Unsurprisingly Bruce is the brains while Hulk is the brawn.

  • Hulking Out: When the Hulk takes over, Banner's cellular structure is fortified by extra-dimensional power, adding over 900 lbs of bone marrow and muscle tissues to his body. During his times of stress, the Hulk's adrenaline causes an increase in power; thus the madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets — making him one of the most physically most powerful beings known to Shield. As his strength increases, so does his durability, his regenerative healing rate, and his resistance to foreign disease, toxins, poison, or other impurities.
  • I Have Many Names: Bob Danner, Bruce Bancroft, Bruce Barnes, Bruce Baxter, Bruce Roberts, Bruce Ross, Bruce Smith, David Bannon, David Bixby, Glenn Summers, Joseph Brown, Robert Baker.
  • Improvised Weapon: Hulk is quite accomplished with the use of improvised weapons (such as telephone poles, boulders, chunks of pavement, or even making himself some boxing gloves out of a ripped in half car).
  • Involuntary Shapeshifting: When Banner experiences the sensations of fear, rage, or stress, he runs the risk of triggering a complex biochemical process that transforms him into the incredibly powerful green-skinned behemoth known as "The Hulk". Depending on Banner's resistance, the total time of transformation is mostly a stress reaction, it is virtually impossible to attack, wound or sedate Banner in his human form without the Hulk erupting almost instantaneously in self-defense.
  • Like Brother and Sister: He and his cousin Jennifer Walters became this after he moved to NY after the death of his mother and the arrest of his father.
  • Magic Pants: His pants are the only clothes that don't get destroyed when he transforms into the Hulk.
  • Middle Name Basis: Bruce's first name is actually Robert, but is almost always referred to by his middle name, and very rarely Bob.
  • Nephewism: After the death of his mother and arrest of his father, he was taken care of by both his aunt Susan Banner-Drake and his uncle Morris Walters.
  • Official Couple: He's engaged to Betty Ross, daughter of his mentor-turned-enemy Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross.
  • Psychic Block Defense: Due to his immense rage, Banner is highly immune to telepathic intrusion and coercion. This is true as Banner and the Hulk.
  • The Rival: Ever since they met he's had a rivalry with Tony Stark.
  • Smarter Than They Look: The Hulk might look and even act like a dumb brute at times, but he's actually pretty clever when it comes to analyzing his opponents and taking advantage of his environment, showing he shares a lot of Banner's intellect.
  • Split Personality: Banner has (at least) one additional personality, known as "The Hulk". After the incident that augmented his physiology, this persona became tied to his big green transformation, but the two personas can communicate with each other mentally, regardless of which is currently in control (though they are not always aware of what the other is doing).
  • Supernatural Sensitivity: For some unknown reason, both Banner and the Hulk are able to see, hear, and interact with ghosts, spirits, and astral projections.
  • You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: Banner and the Hulk don't go out of their way to cause trouble, but get them angry and you'll see exactly why the Hulk is called the strongest there is.

In an atmosphere, she appears able to fly at speeds as high as Mach 4 [~3100 MPH, ~4900 Km/h] for short distances but cruising at a quarter of that is more sustainable. Outside of an atmosphere, Danvers's speed is considerably greater.
  • Flying Brick: Obviously, being super strong and capable of flying even in outer space.
  • Gender-Restricted Ability: According to information provided by a Kree sympathetic to humans, Kree females possess the potential for psychic abilities of various kinds, referred to as a "Seventh Sense".

  • Super-Toughness: The tissues of Danvers' body are considerably harder and more resistant to physical injury than those of an ordinary human (or ordinary Kree). Using her Seventh Sense, Danvers is capable of withstanding high caliber bullets, great impact forces, falls from great heights, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts — sustaining little to no injury in the process.

    War Machine (James "Rhodey" Rhodes)

Click for Civilian Look
  • Ace Pilot: As a former Air Forces pilot, Rhodes has an expert grasp on aerodynamics and aircrafts. He has also is only person other than Tony Stark to be allowed to fly the Iron Man suit — even being given his own armor ("the War Machine") to use to assist Stark. Of course, as he worked on the design of the Quinjet, he's more than qualified to fly one of those too.
  • Adaptation Origin Connection: In the comics Rhodes didn't became War Machine until after Tony had already become Iron Man, but here they both became heroes around the same time due to both being captured by the Ten Rings.
  • Best Friend: He was actually surprised Tony considered him his best friend, and realizing it made him change his style to help Tony in as many ways as he could.
  • Career-Ending Injury: Rhodes injuries during his abduction left him unable to remain in active duty with the military. Though he has underwent several surgeries to repair the damage, Rhodes still walks with a noticeable limp. Outside his mechanized armor, Rhodes cannot run more than an awkward jog for any sort of prolonged period of time.
  • Composite Character: He's a combination of his MCU and comics looks and personality. This includes the injuries that force him to use his armor to function better.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Not as bad as other heroes, but Rhodey did experience a lot of racism growing up and his best friend was killed during a gang shooting, and while his life improved after joining the military, he was gravely injured during the same captivity that gave Tony the ARC reactor in his chest.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: His War Machine armor might be black, dark grey and with glowing red eyes and Arc reactor, but he's a good guy through and through.
  • Disabled in the Adaptation: In the comics he's in perfectly good health, but like in the MCU past injuries have left him with a limp that can only be corrected thanks to his suit.

  • Friendly Sniper: A former Special Forces operator, Rhodes is a master marksman with assault rifles, sub-machine guns, and handguns. He is also quite proficient in the use of long rifles, including sniper rifles.
  • In-Series Nickname: Jim and Rhodey.
  • Genius Bruiser: Though he's not quite on the level as Stark, Banner, Pym, Richards and other great minds that are practically synonymous with the word "genius", Rhodes is a very smart man with the ability to quickly adapt to his surroundings and learn new information at a rapid pace.
  • Handicapped Badass: Rhodes might have a limp without his armor, but he's still a very well-trained former military officer in excellent shape and with great upper-body strength.
  • Military Superhero: Rhodes is a former career military officer with lots of experience that he's put to use as pilot of the War Machine armor.

According to some of her friends, Walters will sometimes address walls or empty space as if she was talking to someone, even addressing this imaginary person as a 'reader'.

  • Ace Pilot: Rambeau is a highly skilled pilot. She's not quite on the level of Carol Danvers, but she'll never admit that because she's good enough not to have to.
  • Adaptation Name Change: Instead of being the second person to use the Captain Marvel moniker, she goes by her second codename Spectrum.
  • Awesomeness by Analysis: Rambeau is a skilled investigator, with prior military law enforcement experience. She is skilled in interrogation, police procedure, forensics, and a number of other related principles.

  • Flight: Using her powers, Monica is able to propel herself through the air at great speeds. Unassisted, she is able to reach speeds approaching the speed of sound, but requires protective clothing to exceed such speeds. Suited up as Spectrum, Monica appears able to keep pace with Ms. Marvel at Mach 4, though she prefers not to go above Mach 2 as she doesn't possess Danvers' durability and her intangibility renders her means of propulsion inert.

  • Light 'em Up: Among the many energy forms Rambeau has shown herself able to detect, read, absorb, and manipulate are visible light, radio waves, electricity, X-rays, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, cosmic rays, gamma radiation, and a wide variety of high-power lasers.

  • Psychic Link: Sam has a strange psychic empathy with birds. Though the exact potency of this connection varies based on species and Sam's familiarity with them, Sam is generally able to establish a mental link with most birds he encounters, allowing him to access their senses and memories, as well as communicate simple concepts with them telepathy. Sam's strongest connection is with "Redwing" a peregrine falcon that befriended Sam.

  • Super-Reflexes: Wilson's reflexes are somewhere in the area of being twelve times faster than the average human's.
