Portrayed By: Ty Burrell

Voiced By: Mario Castañeda (Latin-American Spanish), Keiji Fujiwara (Japanese), Sérgio Stern (Brazilian Portuguese)

Appearances: The Incredible Hulk

A psychiatrist and Betty Ross' boyfriend while she is away from Bruce Banner.

Adaptational Wimp: Doc Samson, as he's known in the comics, is a superhero with a standard Super-Strength and Super-Toughness power set, none of which he demonstrates here.
Badass Bookworm: Lets General Ross know exactly how big a jerk he is.
Brainy Brunette: A brunette who's a psychiatrist and takes a personal pride for being a Living Lie Detector.
Everyone Has Standards: He was willing to tell Ross that Hulk came to his university, but is appalled that Ross brought in a full attack team that, among other things, endangered Betty.
I Wished You Were Dead: Downplayed. He admits to Bruce that he secretly hoped Bruce was dead, because then he could keep dating Betty and wait for her pining for Bruce to fade. Now Bruce is back, though Leonard knows better than to hold a grudge.
Living Lie Detector: It's personal pride for him to be able to do this.
Locked Out of the Loop: He's aware that Betty has been keeping something secret from that's been the reason for Bruce's exile. This also happens when Bruce tries to explain his condition to him, but the little he gives Leonard makes it sound like mere anger management issues.
The Mole: He gives Ross Banner's location so the General can capture him.
My God, What Have I Done?: When he sees the Hulk and Ross's ruthlessness in hunting him down.
Nice Guy: He's friendly, reasonable, doesn't hold a grudge; no wonder Betty rebounded on him.
Only Sane Man: He can certainly understand how and why others think, and for his on-screen time he is not prone to overreacting.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Mixed in with the What the Hell, Hero? below, he rebuffs General Ross' attempts at cooperation after seeing his military forces in action, and goes so far as to say that Bruce is essentially protecting Betty from Ross.
Leonard: I used to wonder why she never talked about you. Now I know.
Romantic Runner-Up: Loses Betty back to Bruce.
There Are No Therapists: Averted, considering his own profession. However, Betty won't share everything with him.
Tranquil Fury: His "Reason You Suck" Speech to Ross. He's quite calm, but his words show that he’s incredibly pissed at him.
Two First Names: Leonard and Samson.
What the Hell, Hero?: A short but pointed one to General Ross. "He protected her. You almost killed her."

Rick Jones

Richard "Rick" Jones

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: N/A

Voiced By: N/A

Appearances: The Incredible Hulk ^note Mentioned only | The Avengers ^note Mentioned only

A Culver University student and Bruce Banner's acquaintance.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the comics; Rick Jones is one of Banner's and Hulk's closest allies and Rick was indirectly responsible for the Hulk's origin, but in the MCU; the Hulk's origin is based on the Ultimate and TV Series, where Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk while experimenting on himself in one of General Ross's attempts to recreate the Super Soldier Serum.
Demoted to Extra: In the MCU; Jones doesn't have any role like he did in the comics.
The Ghost: He does not physically appear in any of the MCU movies and Rick Jones is only mentioned twice; the United States military watched Jones' movements in case he contacted and assisted Banner and the S.H.I.E.L.D. files. they had information about Jones' relationship with Banner.
Mythology Gag: In The Avengers, during the Chitauri Invasion, the files of S.H.I.E.L.D. they had information about Rick's relationship with Bruce, revealing that Jones was a teenager and was thrown into a protective trench by Banner. Which is a reference to the original origin of the Hulk, where Rick Jones was indirectly responsible for the Hulk's origin, when Bruce pushes Rick into a protective trench saving his life, but absorbing the Gamma Rays that transform Banner into the Hulk.

Jim Paxton

James "Jim" Paxton

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paxton_james.jpg

"You know, you almost had us convinced that you were gonna change your ways. They were really rooting for you. It's gonna break their hearts."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Bobby Cannavale

Voiced By: Dafnis Fernández (Latin-American Spanish), Nestor Chiesse (Brazilian Portuguese)

Appearances: Ant-Man | Ant-Man and the Wasp

Maggie's new fiancé, a cop who distrusts Scott.

Adaptational Heroism: Paxton (eventually) helps Scott out, and actually cares for Cassie. His comic book counterpart is constantly hostile towards Scott, and outright disrespectful when he died.
Adaptation Name Change: His name in the comics is Blake Burdick.
All There in the Manual: His full name is James "Jim" Paxton.
The Artifact: While an important Hero Antagonist for Scott in Ant-Man, he's lost much of his reason for being there in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Because Scott and Paxton have settled their differences and become good friends, Paxton isn't given much to do other than show up every now and then to remind us he's there. The result is that he's Demoted to Extra, but they couldn't outright get rid of him either. The Hero Antagonist role instead has gone to Jimmy Woo in the sequel.
By-the-Book Cop: He is devoted to his occupation as a policeman, hence why he was initially distrustful of ex-con Scott and keeps a strict eye on him before finally seeing the good in him and lightening up towards him.
Cool Big Bro: After Scott risked his life to protect Maggie and Cassie, Paxton has come to love Scott like a little brother and regards him as a part of their extended family; this affection is shown in regular brotherly bear-hugs and all four of them regularly and happily spending time together.
Death of the Hypotenuse: Averted. Yellowjacket does intend to kill him, but is defeated before causing harm.
Demoted to Extra: Paxton returns in Ant-Man and the Wasp, but his role is much smaller and he has zero impact whatsoever. It's to a point where Cannavale doesn't get star billing for his role like he did the first time around.
Fire-Forged Friends: Initially, he and Scott are hostile to each other. After the Final Battle of the first Ant-Man movie, they came into good terms and Paxton even becomes his Friend on the Force.
Friend on the Force: At the end of the film, he uses his position to get Scott cleared of all the charges against him.
The Glomp: In Ant-Man and the Wasp, he occasionally gives Scott a hug whenever he meets him.
Good Stepmother: Gender-Inverted. He's nothing but kind and protective towards Cassie.
Hero Antagonist: Towards Scott during the first movie, due to Scott's criminal past.
Inspector Javert: Spends much of the first film pursuing Scott after he escapes custody, unaware that he's actually trying to save the world.
Jerkass Has a Point: He is a very hostile towards Scott, but with good reason due to Scott's criminal past and the fact Paxton is unsure if Scott really turned to a new leaf. While Scott truly did turn over a new leaf, it must be said that his first mission as Ant-Man is to "break into a place and steal some shit".
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He is very hostile to Scott (with good reason, since he's an ex-con), but is genuinely protective of Cassie, and shields her when Yellowjacket attacks. When it becomes clear that Scott is the good guy, Paxton gets him cleared of all charges and comes to love him like a brother.
Last-Name Basis: No one calls him "Jim".
Not So Above It All: Even he got fascinated by Scott's card trick.
Obstructive Bureaucrat: He forbids Scott from visiting Cassie at her birthday party due to not paying for child support.
Odd Name Out: With his fiancée Maggie and stepdaughter Cassie. Them having same letters before their similar ones hurts his case.
Papa Wolf: His initial hostility towards Scott when he arrived at Cassie's birthday uninvited can be interpreted as this due to his criminal past and perceived him as an uncaring deadbeat for his inability to pay for child support. When Paxton hears Yellowjacket has broken into Cassie's house, he immediately stops driving to prison and speeds straight there, as well as calling up a small army of cops. He also threatens to open fire on Yellowjacket with his standard issued handgun if he hurts Cassie, and tells Cassie to get behind him after Yellowjacket seems to have killed Scott.
Police Are Useless: Zig-Zagged. For the majority of the first movie, he focused more on arresting Scott and his accomplices like Hank Pym over Scott trying to stop Darren Cross and his evil goal that threatens society, but when Cross targets Cassie, he forms an Enemy Mine with Scott to defeat Cross, which prompts Paxton to see the good in him.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Zig-Zagged. Paxton spends most of the first movie directly opposed to Scott, because Scott is a wanted felon, and Paxton is a cop. After getting the full story, and seeing how dedicated Scott is to Cassie, Paxton gets Scott cleared of all charges. Then in Ant-Man and the Wasp, he and Maggie defend Scott from the insensitive FBI agents.
Second Love: He is presumably the first person that Maggie dated after her divorce with Scott.
Supporting Protagonist: Or Supporting Tritagonist of the first movie, but mostly in the third act and the climax, as while it is mostly Scott's and Hank's story with Paxton fulfilling the role of the film's Hero Antagonist trying to arrest Scott for being an escaped fugitive and Hank for aiding and abetting a known felon, Paxton plays an important role in helping Scott to defeat Yellowjacket and rescue Cassie.
Took a Level in Kindness: In Ant-Man and the Wasp. He's warmed greatly towards Scott, frequently calling him "Buddy", defending him from the FBI agents constantly raiding his home and giving him the occasional Bear Hug.
Tritagonist: He is this to Scott's protagonist and Hank's deuteragonist in the first movie, though mostly averted in the first and second acts due to his little screen time, but played straight in the third act and the climax where he plays a pivotal role in rescuing Cassie from Yellowjacket with Scott helping by defeating Yellowjacket.

Dale

"No, it wasn't a violent crime. It was a cool crime."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Gregg Turkington

Voiced By: Héctor Alcaraz (Latin-American Spanish), Francisco Brêtas (Brazilian Portuguese), Alain Zouvi (Canadian French)

Appearances: Ant-Man | Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

The manager of a Baskin-Robbins store. He always finds out.

Benevolent Boss: From what we see of him, he seems to be a reasonable employer. He is nothing but friendly during his firing-scene with Scott and says that Scott's crime, which he is firing Scott over, was a "cool crime".
Big Brother Is Watching: Played for Laughs when he uncovers Scott's criminal record, claiming that "Baskin-Robbins always finds out".
The Bus Came Back: He reappears in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, unveiling an "Employee of the Century" plaque for Scott at Baskin-Robbins.
Lethal Chef: The cake that he bakes for Cassie's birthday, in addition to being extremely poorly iced, also tastes so bad that Scott immediately wretches and spits it out as soon as he takes a bite. Justified as he's been out of practice for quite a while.
Mean Boss: Subverted. He only wants to protect his business from potential scrutiny, so his firing of Scott is actually justified. It doesn't help Scott that he didn't disclose his criminal record when he applied for the job in the first place. He also seems to get on well with Scott other than that and it's clear Scott has no hard feelings about the firing.
Nice Guy: He seems to be a pretty decent guy who gets on well with his employees and his firing of Scott is something he makes clear isn't personal and the two part on relatively good terms with Scott seeming to have no anger or resentment towards Dale. It's telling that Quantumania has Dale rigorously shaking Scott's hand, commemorating a plaque for him in his store and baking a cake for Cassie's birthday, despite Scott only briefly working there ten years ago.
Pet the Dog:
- After firing Scott from Baskin-Robbins, he says he'll look the other way if he wants to help himself to a smoothie on his way out. Scott takes him up on that offer.
- In Quantumania, Dale goes out of his way to bake a belated birthday cake for Cassie due to his friendship with Scott, even if the cake itself isn't of great quality.

Katy Chen

Katy Chen (陈瑞文, Chen Ruiwen)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stmb_specialod_4825x72_katy_v2_lg.png

Species: Human

Citizenship: Chinese-American

Portrayed By: Awkwafina

Voiced By: Farahnaz Nikray (Japanese), Priscilla Concepcion (Brazilian Portuguese)

Appearances: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

"I've been by your side for half your life. I get there are things you never wanted to talk about, and I never wanted to push... but a guy with a freakin' machete for an arm just chopped our bus in half, Shaun!"

Shang-Chi's friend of ten years, now coworker.

The Ace: Far more than Shang-Chi. Where he's maintaining a low end job because he's hiding from his father, she's doing it because she masters skills easily, gets bored, and moved on. She has a master's degree from Berkeley, and is parking cars as a valet. Demonstrated in the film when she masters archery in a few days sufficient to deliver the killing blow to the Dweller in Darkness.
Action Survivor: She strikes Razor Fist when he corners Shang-Chi. She manages to hold up running from the Ten Rings while jumping around in scaffolding, and drives extremely well. Later, she is also pushed into being an archer, even shooting a miraculous shot with an arrow at the Dweller's throat.
Badass Driver: She and Shang-Chi discuss that being a valet is challenging for requiring driving skills, and she demonstrates hers are impressive when forced to take over a dubiously controllable bus after the driver is KO'd, even if she totally wrecks the thing - and just about every car parked by the sidewalk. Even more when driving the heroes to Ta Lo, following directions from a strange creature being translated by a washed-up Cloudcuckoolander actor - and succeeds.
Big Damn Heroes: Just as Dweller-In-Darkness had almost absorbed the Great Protector's soul, Katy shoots a Dragon Scale arrow at the Dweller-In-Darkness' neck, weakening him, allowing the Great Protector, Shang-Chi, and Xialing to defeat him.
Brilliant, but Lazy: Most of her mother's frustration with her stems from the fact that she rarely applies herself, especially since she graduated valedictorian from Berkeley. Her archery teacher also lampshades this, stating that if "you aim at nothing, you hit nothing."
Canon Foreigner: There is no Katy Chen in the comics. The character was specifically created for the film.
Confusion Fu: She first met Shang-Chi by saving him from a racist bully, by shouting the lyrics of "Hotel California" at him which left him so baffled they were able to run away. She tries the same thing on one of the Ten Rings ninjas—it doesn't work for long, but the moment's hesitation it caused may have saved her life.
Deadpan Snarker: Not even getting caught up in a mystical adventure or learning Shang-Chi's true heritage can put a damper on her snarkiness.
The Ditherer: She says that she attempted to learn or work with many things, but gave up. And then someone makes a decision for her, pushing her onto the archery range, and it works out well.
Drives Like Crazy: Even before the bus scene, her very intro is taking a rich man's sports car and doing some reckless driving (first speeding, then donuts), while working as a valet. Shang-Chi, who is nearly having a fit in the passenger seat, is not amused.
Eating the Eye Candy: More subtle than other examples, but when Shaun enters the arena shirtless, she seems to be enjoying the view.
Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: She's an archer partnered with the martial arts master Shang-Chi.
Heritage Disconnect: While she's able to address her grandmother in Chinese and is capable of understanding some Chinese, she identifies more as an American and points that out after her mother says their family did not move from Hunan for Katy to be a slacker. She also had trouble pronouncing "Shang-Chi" and is referred to as an "ABC" (American-born Chinese) by Jon Jon. Wenwu asks her for her Chinese name, to which she briefly had to think about, though that may have been nerves what with sitting down to dinner with an international crime lord.
Instant Expert: For having only a literal couple days of archery training, she's able to pick it up almost immediately to the point of making a seemingly impossible long-distance shot that turns the tide of the climactic battle.
Karmic Jackpot: Dive with your friend into a strange battle, vowing to protect him to the bitter end? You end up saving the world, and becoming an Avenger!
Like Brother and Sister: Katy and Shang-Chi's relationship seems to be very close (Shang-Chi delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to anyone who threatens Katy), but purely platonic, despite what Katy's grandmother may think. While the latter half of the movie suggests something more, they never definitely break out of this mold.
Muggle Best Friend: Follows Shang-Chi into danger to save the world, despite not having any powers or special training.
Platonic Life-Partners: She became friends with Shang-Chi when she defended him from a bully who called him "Gangnam Style" and then they stole the bully's Ford Mustang keys and took it for a joyride. They've been friends for a decade since then, working as hotel valets together and often coming over to her house to eat breakfast. She denies her grandmother accusing her and Shang-Chi of having feelings for each other (and he tells the same grandmother they're not getting married, they're just friends). It becomes spottier the longer the movie goes on. By the end, they follow Wong with Katy taking Shang-Chi's arm after he offers it to her, which can be taken either way.
Ship Tease: While they're mostly Like Brother and Sister, Katy doesn't seem to mind seeing Shang-Chi shirtless. The ending of the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings also sees Katy walk off taking hold of Shang-Chi's arm, which could be interpreted any way - and then immediately after, the song played during the Creative Closing Credits is very clearly a love song, one that even states “I’m calling it now, you’ll find love with me somehow”. So far it's Shrug of God which way this relationship is gonna go.
The Straight and Arrow Path: After the heroes arrive in Ta Lo, a few days before Wenwu and his forces plan to invade, Katy winds up taking up the bow-and-arrow in an effort to help, roped into it by an elder of Ta Lo who either identifies her as a potential archer or thinks "Hey, let's get this useless girl out of the way for a while.". This officially becomes her heroine niche as she partners with Shang-Chi transitioning into the superhero life at the end of the movie.
True Companions: Shang-Chi and Katy's friendship is unshakable. Katy learns the truth about "Shaun" after being attacked on a bus by Razor Fist and his goons, and what does she do? She goes to Macau with him to find his sister even though he clearly intends to go by himself.
Katy: You can explain on the plane, Shaun!
Undying Loyalty: To Shang-Chi. Despite being justifiably angry that he deceived her about most of his life and identity, she never even considers not going with him on a dangerous mission and no matter what strangeness comes their way, never considers leaving.
Unwitting Muggle Friend: Shang-Chi deliberately kept her in the dark about his true identity, trying to disappear into the persona of "Shaun the hotel valet". It was almost working out until Razor Fist and the other Ten Rings goons showed up. Given the traumatic way she was first exposed to his past, Katy is not happy about it, and forces "Shaun" to fess up right then and there as he's preparing to head to Macau after dealing with the Ten Rings goons and helping her stop the bus.

John and Soo

Species: Humans

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Kunal Dudheker (John), Stephanie Hsu (Soo)

Appearances: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Shang-Chi and Katy's married friends.

Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite living in a world of superheroes where half the population suddenly vanished, Soo refuses to believe Katy and Shang-Chi when they recount their adventures with the Ten Rings and Tao Lo. It takes Wong walking through a portal in the restaurant they're sitting in, asking for Shang-Chi personally to get her to believe them. Granted, it may be less being skeptical of the events themselves, and more of her two loser valet friends being involved.
Foil: Soo to "Shaun" and Katy. Their initial dinner in the film makes it clear that Soo loved goofing off in life like Shaun and Katy did, but eventually became a lawyer. She clucks at her friends for finding Happiness in Minimum Wage and not growing up like she did.
Satellite Love Interest: John is mainly around to be Soo's husband.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabe_reyes.jpg

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Lorenzo James Henrie

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Robbie Reyes' paralyzed younger brother, for whom he allows himself to become Ghost Rider to help support.

Big Brother Worship: Gabe clearly thinks the world of his big brother, and is absolutely delighted when he thinks that Robbie has been secretly working for S.H.I.E.L.D. — and when he finds out otherwise, he's not happy.
Broken Pedestal: Towards his big brother, after he finds out that Robbie is the Rider,and is not happy.
Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Averted. He furiously tells Robbie that he's fine with his wheelchair not because he hates to be pitied, but because Robbie has been killing the people involved in the name of avenging Gabe's paralysis.
Sibling Yin-Yang: Gabe looks to the future with hope and assumes the best of people, while for Robbie, it's a struggle every day to not give into despair and corruption.
Smarter Than You Look: He doesn't look dim, but he comes off as the ordinary oblivious kid brother. As it is, he picks up on a lot. He quickly identifies that Daisy is trouble, for instance, and politely but firmly tells her to stay the hell away from his brother (who he thinks is just an ordinary guy at this point), and he later mentions that he had picked up on Robbie's odd behaviour despite his best efforts to hide it - and had been fairly close to the truth in his original guess of what his brother got up to...
There Are No Therapists: Averted, Mace specifically gives orders for somebody to find Gabe a therapist after everything that happened with his brother and uncle.
What the Hell, Hero?: He is devastated to find out Robbie's been murdering people as Ghost Rider, and doesn't necessarily buy that the Rider is a different entity.

Dennis Bukowski

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Drew Matthews

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

An attorney for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Adaptational Jerkass: His comic counterpart in The Savage She-Hulk is closer to a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. He's still an abrasive jerk towards Jen, but first crosses paths with She-Hulk when he tries to thwart a murder attempt on one of Jen’s friends. Much later in the comic, when he realises that She-Hulk's been mistakenly accused of murder, he immediately takes steps to clear her name. In the series, he doesn't seem to have any of those redeeming features.
Asshole Victim: Everyone acknowledges that Runa conning him out of $175,000 by pretending to be Megan Thee Stallion was wrong and illegal, but that doesn't make them feel sorry for him or stop them from being amused by it.
Casanova Wannabe: He assumes every woman he sees is a possible romantic partner, going so far as to refuse to have Mallory Book represent him because they could get together in the future. The fact that almost every woman he makes these comments about reacts with open disgust doesn't seem to register with him. He was convinced Nikki had a crush on him even though she openly admits to fantasizing about killing him.
A Fool for a Client: At one point, Dennis tries objecting to his own side's witness, despite not being listed as one of the lawyers for his case. The judge reminds him of this. And also more literally, as he wins the case when Jen testifies that he is so deluded that he genuinely thought he was dating Megan Thee Stallion.
The Friend Nobody Likes: Jen and Nikki can barely hide their contempt for him whenever he's in their presence and are quick to badmouth him when he gets brought up while he's not around. Even Pug, a very good-natured guy, is incredibly annoyed by his dickishness.
Hated by All: Everybody who interacts with him grows to hate him really quickly because of how self-important and chauvinistic he is.
He-Man Woman Hater: For the first three episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, every line out of his mouth is sexist disdain. It is either talking down to Jennifer, referring to a woman as "it", or preferring legal help from a random guy who might not even be a lawyer over a woman who is.
"It" Is Dehumanizing: When he notices "a hot chick" in the bar, he says he's "gonna go talk to 'it'".
Jerkass: If his blatant sexism wasn't already a warning sign, he proves that he's every bit as terrible as the audience was led to believe from his first scene when he accuses Jen of staging the courtroom attack and believes her gaining Hulk powers is "nepotism" when she evades the question on how she got them. Then he refers to an attractive woman as "it" for the cherry on top. After Jen loses her job in the wake of her public freakout, he goes on the news and concocts a whole past relationship with Jen, and says he broke up with her because she was "crazy." Either he did this as payback over what Jen said in his trial (which she helped him win), or he did it for pure attention and ego-stroking.
Jerkass Has a Point: He's completely right when he states that Runa's punishment is just going to be a slap on the wrist as long as she still has her powers. Notably, this gives Jen an idea for how to handle the Abomination case.
Narcissist: He's extremely self-important and believes that every woman he talks to is attracted to him no matter how blatant their disdain of him is.
Small Name, Big Ego: Pug's case and Jen's testimony both hinge on the fact that Bukwoski really is so self-absorbed that he thinks he, a minor District Attorney, could be dating a megastar like Megan Thee Stallion.
Jen: He once described himself as a New York 10 and an LA 11.

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

A party girl originally from Florida who crossed paths with Wong after accidentally getting sent to a demonic dimension by stage magician Donny Blaze.

Affectionate Nickname: She starts referring to Wong as "Wongers" which he does not appear to appreciate.
Brainless Beauty: Madisynn is pretty attractive but she’s not the brightest bulb in the box, possibly due to her drinking.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: She's a ditsy party girl who's always drunk, but she also managed to survive in a hellish dimension by making a deal with a demon to get back to Earth.
Hard-Drinking Party Girl: She's constantly drunk and was apparently at a party when Wong summoned her to court in the middle of the day.
Hidden Depths: Name one other party girl from Florida who can survive a trip to Hell, make a Deal with the Devil and garner a genuine friendship with the Sorcerer Supreme while still drunk. Clearly there's more to Madisynn than meets the eye.
My Nayme Is: How she introduces herself with her name being spelled with two "n"s and a y. But not where you thiiiink!
Nice Girl: She is incredibly friendly and easy-going, taking everything in a stride. It probably helps that she's completely piss-drunk out of her mind every waking (and sleeping) second.
Noodle Implements: When she arrives at Kamar-Taj she's carrying a heart, one that's roughly human-sized. Where and how she got it is never explained and she barely even seems to notice she's holding it.
Odd Friendship: Wong is initially frustrated by her, especially when she spoils an episode of The Sopranos for him, but by the end of "Is this Not Real Magic?" they're hanging out in Kamar-Taj together and chatting about their favorite drinks.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: She survives entering a hellish world, and survives by making a deal with a demon she names Jake and ends up with a human heart in her hands. Being completely hammered likely helped.
The Scottish Trope: She makes a blood pact with a demon in order to be returned to Earth, under the stipulation she never speak its name or it would place a curse on her soul and the souls of her entire family. She just calls him "Jake."
Unfazed Everyman: She takes being sent to a hell dimension and then Kamar-Taj extremely well, describing it as "fun, then scary, then fun again." Being drunk the entire time probably helped her stay calm. She does admit that she "browned out" at certain points, so she doesn't remember the whole thing.

Luke Jacobson

"My client list is very exclusive because my work is impeccable."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Griffin Matthews

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

A designer of superhero costumes whom Jennifer Walters and Nikki Ramos come into contact with during the events of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

Adaptational Origin Connection: He is the one who designed and put together Daredevil's yellow-and-red suit. In the comics, Murdock crafted the suit himself.
Berserk Button: Questioning his work in any way is a good way to get on Luke's bad side. When Jen speaks to him about a client claiming he was sold faulty merchandise Luke is so outraged that he destroys a dress she comissioned and blacklists her as a client, even though Jen herself wasn't the one making those claims.
Big Ego, Hidden Depths: The man has high standards for who he'll even consider doing work for and treats his skill in design as entitlement to do so. But there's no denying that he can back up the talk and knows how to create for superheroes. He takes Jen as a client after first dismissing her when he realizes that she is actually related to the Hulk and also that her looking for a wardrobe that will change sizes when she transforms will give him a real challenge.
Can't Take Criticism: He's so thin-skinned that his response to criticism is to insult and blacklist said criticizer.
Challenge Seeker: He initially laughs Jen out of his office since she's not high-profile enough for him, but changes his mind at the prospect of making a suit that can change sizes with her.
Eccentric Fashion Designer: In addition to being stereotypically Camp Gay (or at least Camp Straight), he's got a larger-than-life personality and a massive ego over his "exclusive clientele".
Everyone Has Standards: He is a jerkass but, in his own words, "not a monster". So when Jen rescues him from Leap-Frog, he forgives her for pressing his Berserk Button and goes back to being her tailor.
Expy: He's very clearly based on Edna Mode from The Incredibles, being a grouchy, eccentric but nonetheless competent costume designer for superheroes who has a cover business to throw off suspicion from regular citizens (though in Luke's case, he uses a boba store).
Insufferable Genius: He is frustrating to deal with because of his pride as a designer of super suits, but dealing with him is worth it for the suits. He can make formal clothing that will stretch and shrink with the wearer as a fun challenge.
Jerkass: Even trying to see Luke gets reacted to with hostility, and Jen not wanting a stereotypical super suit causes him to try and dismiss her immediately. When Jen tries to talk to him about a potential lawsuit regarding a defective suit from his shop to avoid going to court, he's so offended at the mere suggestion of failure that he destroys the (pre-paid) gala dress he was making for her and calls her a "greasy old buffalo" as he throws her out.
Nerves of Steel: Shows nothing but calm contempt after being kidnapped by Leap-Frog.
Race Lift: Luke was a blonde Caucasian in the comics, but is African-American in this show.
Read the Freaking Manual: He provides clear instructions with the super suits he creates. If a suit malfunctions, then it is because a client did not read them carefully enough, not a mistake on his part.
Transplant: In the comics, Luke Jacobson was a very minor character in a 1980s comic series called Dakota North. For his MCU appearance, Luke appears as part of the ensemble of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

Craig Hollis / Mr. Immortal

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_immortal_she_hulk.png

Species: Enhanced human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: David Pasquesi

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

A man with the power of Resurrective Immortality.

Adaptational Jerkass: In the comics, Hollis only ever attempted suicide and discovered his powers after his foster sister turned lover killed herself, immediately attempted to become a crime fighter, and later developed a genuine relationship with Dinah Soar. This version selfishly takes advantage of his immortality to run out on multiple unaware spouses and romantic partners (some of whom he's had children with, thus making him a deadbeat dad) and amass wealth for himself, with nothing suggesting he's ever tried to use his powers for good.
Adaptational Sexuality: Straight in the comic books, here he married at least one man.
Age Lift: A twofold example, as he both looks older than his comics counterpart and is heavily implied to have been born much further in the past too.
But Not Too Bi: He married several women and only one man.
Deathless and Debauched: He spends his free time getting into committed relationships then killing himself to get out of them, then looking for someone else. Given that he's immortal, he just wants to give absolutely everything a try.
Dirty Coward: Would much rather kill himself, regenerate, and then sneak away than actually deal with conflicts.
I Have Many Names: He takes up a new alias every time he comes back to life. It's unclear if Craig Hollis is even his real name, since he refuses to be referred to as anything other than his moniker.
Immortal Immaturity: Despite being several hundred years old, Mr. Immortal has No Social Skills since he just kills himself whenever he runs into conflict so he doesn't have to deal with it. He winds up in legal trouble due to his habit of marrying then offing himself whenever he gets bored of the relationship, a pattern that falls apart thanks to modern technology letting his exes meet up.
In Name Only: Craig Hollis/Mr. Immortal in the comics was a superhero and all that entails: young, fit, dressed in a bright costume, and dedicated to protecting people. This Craig/Mr. Immortal has gray hair, dresses like a civilian, and constantly leaves his partners (some of whom he had children with) by committing suicide (he gets better) just because he doesn't want to have a conversation with them. There's even the implication that "Craig Hollis" isn't his actual name, since each of his former spouses refers to him by a different name.
Not Wearing Tights: He doesn't wear his costume from the comics, but it's Justified since this Craig Hollis isn't a superhero at all.
Resurrective Immortality: Whenever Mr. Immortal dies, his body quickly heals and he gets right back up.
Super Window Jump: To get out of being berated by Mallory and Nikki for his selfishness and their subsequent argument about taking his case, he throws himself out the window of the GLK&H office, which is on the top floor of a high-rise. He pancakes a parked car, then gets up none the worse for wear once he regenerates. He starts trying to get up again during the argument between his exes over how much he owes them, with Mallory and Nikki shoving him back down.

Kevin Bacon

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Kevin Bacon

Appearances: The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

World-famous actor known for timeless classics such as Footloose, Animal House and the phenomenon known as the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. He's had an enormous impact on Peter Quill growing up, and as such Mantis and Drax decided to cheer up a depressed Quill by gifting him the poor actor.

Actor/Role Confusion: Quill would inspire the Guardians with tales of Kevin Bacon's heroics that were really just somewhat embellished retellings of Kevin's movies. Peter himself was totally aware that Kevin's movies aren't real, but Drax and Mantis are disgusted when they learn that Kevin really hasn't done any of those amazing feats and that he's just an actor.
As Himself: A fairly cut and dry example of a real-life celebrity portraying a fictionalized version of himself.
Becoming the Mask: He decides to stay in space long enough to hold an impromptu concert for Quill and the people of Knowhere, thereby becoming a sort of renown hero for real.
Black Comedy: His entire role in the story is, essentially, being abducted by very confused aliens to be given as a Christmas gift. It'd be downright horrifying if it wasn't so funny, and from Kevin's perspective, it is.
Brainwashed and Crazy: The only way Mantis could get him to go along with the whole thing is to whammy him into submission. Quill is absolutely mortified that she would do something so awful and immediately demands she turn him back to normal.
The Cast Showoff: In-Universe and out, as Kevin is one-half of the country-folk duo "The Bacon Brothers" in both the MCU and real-life. At the end of the special, he decides to stay on Knowhere and sing a bit for everyone.
Hero Antagonist: He's the closest thing the special has to an antagonist, justifiably opposing the Guardians in their attempt to kidnap him from his home.
Nervous Wreck: Seeing as he's the point of a kidnap plot, you really can't blame the guy for freaking out for most of the special's runtime.
Nice Guy: While absolutely terrified out of his wits, he proves to be every bit as cool as one would hope their childhood hero to be. After Kraglin explains why he was so important to Quill, Kevin calls up his wife to tell her he has a few friends he needs to "help" first.
Saving Christmas: The special's entire premise is to save Christmas for Quill by giving him Kevin Bacon as a Christmas present. They very nearly ruin it, permanently, but thankfully Kevin is a sweet enough of a guy to stick around at least for a little bit (of his own free will) and cheer-up Quill and the denizens of Knowhere.

The Walters' Family

Morris Walters

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Mark Linn-Baker

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

Jennifer Walters' father.

Good Parents: When he notices that Jen's extremely uncomfortable and stressed at the family dinner, makes an excuse to bring her to the basement, where he asks her how she's doing and gives her reassurance that everything is going to be alright.
I Want Grandkids: When Jen brings Matt Murdock to a family barbecue Morris grills him about his finances and points out that having children in L.A. can be expensive. When Matt says he wasn't expecting this line of questioning, Morris makes clear that every conversation will lead to this line of questioning.
Papa Wolf: After hearing about the attack by the Wrecking Crew, Jen's dad brings over various security equipment (locks, cameras, etc.) and a shovel for digging holes. The latter he leaves open-ended.

Elaine Walters

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Tess Malis Kincaid

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

Jennifer Walters' mother.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: She apparently has a habit of giving Jen's phone number to random strangers. She also shows Nikki an old, embarassing video Jen and her friends made at school.
Good Parents: Embarrassing as she may be, she clearly loves her daughter and is fine letting Jen move back in after Jen loses her job at GLK&H and can no longer afford rent.
Spared by the Adaptation: In the comics, she was killed when Jennifer was very young but is alive and well in here.

Ched

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Nicholas Cirillo

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

Jennifer Walters' cousin.

The Ditz: He is not very bright, such as not realizing Titania's shoddy merchandise is not approved, endorsed or related to Jen in any way.
New Job as the Plot Demands: In his first appearance, he says he's a manager at Best Buy. When Titania tries to copyright She-Hulk, he's shown selling her merchandise and trying to get Jen to sign it. When Jen attends a wedding, he's hired as a DJ.
Unwanted Assistance: He tries to explain to his cousin, a lawyer, about how copyright law works.

Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway

Nikki Ramos

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Ginger Gonzaga

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

Jennifer Walter's best friend and paralegal.

Canon Foreigner: She has no comic counterpart.
The Confidant: She is Jen's best friend, and one of the only people she told about being She-Hulk before it was revealed to the world.
The Fashionista: Her wardrobe is more experimental and trendy than Jen's. She and Pug bond over their mutual love of fashion.
Gay Best Friend: She's sassy, makes a remark about how terrible hetero dating must be, and is Jen's go-to girl for fashion and dating advice. Downplayed in that Nikki is also a darn good mediator in her own right.
Hello, Attorney!: She is an attractive paralegal. She takes advantage of her good looks in She-Hulk by laying a "thirst trap" (a picture of her with a flirty expression and a bunch of books) to get Wong to contact her. It doesn’t work, but she implies it's worked before.
Leg Focus: In one scene when she's sitting on a windowsill, Nikki shows off her impressive legs.
Twofer Token Minority: Filipina, based on her Philippines flag pin in "Just Jen", and LGBT in some way.

Holden Holliway

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Steve Coulter

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

An attorney and named partner at Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway.

Alliterative Name: Holden Holliway.
Everyone Has Standards: He has a few Amoral Attorney leanings and isn't above coercing Jen into taking cases she has moral reservations against but Bukowski is such a Slimeball that Holliway can barely hide how much he loathes the guy and really just hurries him out of his office as quick as he can.
Jerkass Has a Point: Forcing Jen to represent Blonsky under threat of being fired may have been underhanded but he is right that Jen was hired for exactly cases like that and Blonsky did sign a conflict waiver so Jen has no real legal reason not to represent him.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He acts with the interests of his firm first and foremost, which doesn't always correlate to the most ethical choices; has little issue basically making Jen a diversity hire and pressing her into taking on cases she may have moral objections to under threat of being fired and isn't all that empathetic about people taking issue with his methods. But he's pretty ambivalent on a personal level, gives his employees the latitude to do their jobs with little issue as long as they follow mandates and makes it clear that while Jen is being hired for her powers she still got the job for her qualifications as a lawyer.
Nepotism: Possibly. Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg, and Holliway was mentioned in the first season of Agent Carter (which is set in the 1940s, long before Holden was born) but without the Lieber, which implies that Holden may have gotten his position through his father or his grandfather.
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: At the end of "The People vs. Emil Blonsky", Holliway sees Jen and Megan Thee Stallion twerking in her office, but just shrugs and walks off.
Worthy Opponent: Holloway may be hiring Jen as the public face of the law firm's new superhuman law division because she's She-Hulk, but he also respects her ability to win a case against him (or would have, anyway) and clearly sees her as a talented lawyer apart from being She-Hulk.

Augustus "Pug" Pugliese

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pug_9.jpg

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Josh Segarra

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

An attorney at Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway was also assigned to the Superhuman Law Division.

Adaptational Curves: Inverted. In the comics, Pug has a big, brawny build and previously worked as a bouncer. In the series, he sports a much slimmer physique.
All Women Love Shoes: Gender-inverted. He's a "sneakerhead"; someone who collects brand-name sneakers, both to wear and as collectibles. While Nikki questions him on this, she can't help but respect it.
Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: He gives Jen and Nikki a welcome basket that contains office supplies, snacks, and a map to the best bathroom for pooping.
Casting Gag: This isn't the first time Josh Segarra played an attorney in a series filled with vigilantes and superhumans and where the main character is green.
"Eureka!" Moment: Has one when Jen and Nikki describe how unbearable Dennis is, and realizes that he can use that to his advantage by getting Jen to testify just how unbearable Dennis is to prove that he's delusional enough to believe he was dating the real Megan Thee Stallion. It worked.
Even the Guys Want Him: The Intelligencia trolls, including Todd, call him hot and one of them says how he'd smash Pug.
Hello, Attorney!: He's an attractive, well-built, and dapper lawyer that even the members of Intelligencia can't help but gush over how handsome he is.
Nice Guy: Is a very friendly and welcoming guy, giving Jen a welcome basket when she starts at the law firm. When he has to go undercover at an Intelligencia meet-up, he's so disgusted by their misogyny that he needs Nikki to tell him what to say via an earpiece.
One of the Girls: He seems to prefer hanging out with Jen and Nikki rather than with any of his male colleagues (and has no problem drinking Nikki's Cosmo when offered after dealing with Dennis), and he also bonds with Nikki over their mutual love of clothing.
Refuge in Audacity: He succeeds in winning a case for Dennis Bukowski by proving to the court that Dennis is, indeed, narcissistic and delusional enough to believe that the real Megan Thee Stallion would date him.
Sharp-Dressed Man: Always wears a three-piece suit to work whereas his colleagues don't usually bother with a waistcoat.
Sour Supporter: In "The People vs. Emil Blonsky", Pug is assigned to represent Dennis because all his female coworkers — Jen in particular — find Dennis intolerable. The case revolves around Dennis suing Runa, a shape-shifting elf that tricked him into giving her a fortune in cash and gifts by posing as Megan Thee Stallion. Although he takes the case and does his best to represent Dennis, Pug is visibly unhappy about having to represent such a douche-bag who thinks he's God's gift to women. The only reason they win the case is because Pug ignored Dennis's suggestion to bring in his friends to testify about what an awesome guy he is, and instead has Jen come in and tell the court, under oath, about how Dennis thinks he's such a chick magnet that he deluded himself into thinking the real Megan Thee Stallion would actually go out with him.

Mallory Book

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Renée Elise Goldsberry

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

An attorney at Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway.

Adaptational Nice Girl: In the comics Book has an intense rivalry towards Walters while in the show she's still professional but openly more supportive.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the comics Book is single/possibly dating while in the show she's been married for a decade and has a kid.
Consummate Professional: She maintains a serious and professional demeanor at almost all times, including reminding Jen that she's a client and not a coworker during the counter-suit against Titania, and flatly telling Todd not to touch her. She lets the facade drop a little when she and Jen go out for drinks after they win the trial.
A Day in the Limelight: She comes into focus in the fifth episode as Jen's attorney for her counter-suit against Titania.
Even the Girls Want Her: Both Jen and Nikki can't help but gush over how good she looks from a distance.
Hello, Attorney!: A beautiful woman and a fierce combatant in the courtroom.
Not So Above It All: Despite being pretty professional and having a very sharp sense of humor, she can't help but describe Jen's last date as incredibly attractive.
Race Lift: She's white in the comics, but is played by a black actress here.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Her opening argument alone dresses down Titania for her greed and pettiness.
Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: Leaves Holliway's office the moment she sees how much of a sexist Casanova Wannabe Dennis Bukowski is.
Statuesque Stunner: Towers over Jen in her human form. Not so much in her She-Hulk form, but she isn’t absolutely dwarfed like most of the cast either.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: After questioning a bunch of guys who were only interested in She-Hulk and not Jen, she assures Jen that she deserves better than them and is absolutely worth it in her own right.

Abomaste

Emil Blonsky / The Abomination

See Emil Blonsky

William Taurens / Man-Bull

Species: Enhanced human

Citizenship: American

Affiliations: Abomaste

Portrayed By: Nathan Hurd

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

A man given bull-like features in a lab experiment. He's currently working through his stress at Emil Blonsky's meditation retreat.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Zigzagged, given how much the character's appearance has varied in the comics. At best he's just a large, muscular man with horns. At worst his face has an elongated snout like a bull's, and he has pointed teeth and patches of fur all over his body. The MCU version only has a bull-like nose, horns, and hairy forearms.
Adaptational Heroism: He's not an outright supervillain, just a misunderstood lab experiment trying to find inner peace.
Apologetic Attacker: Man-Bull immediately takes responsibility for accidentally wrecking Jennifer's car and offers to repair/move it.
Bull Seeing Red: A variation; he can't help but attack El Águila sometimes due to instinctively mistaking him for a matador.
Freak Lab Accident: How Man-Bull was created. He's pretty sensitive about it.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With El Águila. Despite fighting with each other, the two are totally inseparable and always on the same page, and are unhappy when Blonsky makes them sit apart for a little while. Blonsky even asks if they're married.
I Always Wanted to Say That: When he's asked if he can help fix Jen's car, he snarks "I'm a Man-Bull, not a mechanical bull!". El Águila asks him how long he's been sitting on that joke, and Jen says it sounded a little forced.
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Normally a Daredevil villain, but he makes his debut in She-Hulk.
Super-Strength: He throws El Águila into Jen's Prius with enough force to total it.
Vitriolic Best Buds: He and El Águila are first introduced fighting and insulting each other right off the bat, but when they get a chance to calm down, they show that they care very much for one another.

Alejandro Montoya / El Águila

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aguila_2.jpg

Species: Enhanced human

Citizenship: Spanish

Affiliation(s): Abomaste

Portrayed By: Joseph Castillo Midyett

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

"Just because I am Spanish and I have a flair for the style, people constantly assume that I am a matador. It's dehumanizing."

A superhuman with the power to generate electricity through his sword. He's not a matador.

Ambiguous Situation: He's a mutant in the comics, but his powers aren't given a concrete origin in She-Hulk.
Berserk Button: People mistaking him for a matador. He notes how cliché it would be for a matador to be fighting Man-Bull. The garish colours, sword, accent, and hard-to-pin theme probably don't help. He also did do some matadoring in university.
Captain Ersatz: A Spanish swordfighter with an animal-themed name despite no animal-themed suit - he's a bootleg Zorro^note. He even shares the first name of the second Zorro!
Dashing Hispanic: He ticks all of the boxes, as a charming, sword-fighting Spanish man.
Gratuitous Spanish: His name means "The Eagle"... which doesn't really have anything to do with his theme.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Man-Bull. Despite fighting with each other, the two are totally inseparable and always on the same page, and are unhappy when Blonsky makes them sit apart for a little while. Blonsky even asks if they're married.
Shock and Awe: He can generate electricity that runs down his sword.
Swashbuckler: This is what he claims to be. Unfortunately, this gimmick overlaps with a lot of stereotypical matador traits.
Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Man-Bull are first introduced fighting and insulting each other right off the bat, but when they get a chance to calm down, they show that they care very much for one another.

Alexander Gentry / Porcupine

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/porcupine_2.png

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Affiliations: Abomaste

Portrayed By: Jordan Aaron Ford

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

A man who wears a spiny ghillie suit that supposedly matches his moniker.

Age Lift: In the comics, Gentry was introduced as a foe to Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne in their early days. Here, he's noticeably younger than both of them.
Dramatic Unmask: He finally gets the courage to take off his mask and show his face, but his body odor ends up being far more dramatic.
Eskimos Aren't Real: When El Aguila calls himself Spanish, Porcupine "corrects" him by saying that Spanish is a language and not a nationality, at which point he immediately gets flack for forgetting about the existence of Spain.
The Faceless: Purposefully invokes this due to his insecurities by always wearing a gas mask.
The Pig-Pen: As a result of not changing out of his suit for a long time, he really stinks.
Race Lift: He's portrayed by a black actor, while his comic book counterpart is white.
Spikes of Villainy: His suit is covered in porcupine-like spines and some additional metal spikes.
24-Hour Armor: Is never seen without his porcupine suit, and it's clear he hasn't worn anything else in days if not weeks. It's implied that he has trouble taking it off because it makes him feel safe, and he is insecure about his real, uncostumed self.
Vocal Dissonance: You'd expect a guy in a hefty, freaky looking costume like his with a gas mask to sound deep and/or distorted, but he actually sounds like a pretty normal, approachable guy.

Muzaffar Lambert / Saracen

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sarcen.jpg

Species: Vampire (?)

Citizenship: American

Affiliation(s): Abomaste

Portrayed By: Terrence Clowe

Appearances: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

A man who believes he's a vampire who is part of Emil Blonsky's self-healing support group.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Saracen in the comics looks like a snarling caveman with discolored skin.
Adaptational Heroism: He's far nicer than either of his murderous comic book counterparts.
Ambiguously Human: He certainly thinks he's a vampire and dresses the part, but the others in the group seem to doubt that it's true. Given the nature of this setting, it's hard to be sure.
Bizarre Taste in Food: According to Wrecker, he regularly drinks tea that has chicken blood mixed into it.
Cloudcuckoolander: He can't stop bringing up drinking blood. For example, his proposed solution to Josh ghosting Jen is that the entire group should drink his blood. Even if he is indeed a vampire, it's a rather strange line of thinking. Unlike most examples he is aware of how odd his behavior can come across to people.
Composite Character: He combines elements of two characters called "Saracen". His self-proclaimed status as a vampire comes from an enemy of Blade, while his real name Muzaffar Lambert comes from a mercenary fought by the Punisher.
In Name Only: Outside of the vampire connection or his actual name, he has very little in common with his comic book counterparts.
Our Vampires Are Different: If he is a vampire like he claims, he's one that doesn't have visible fangs and can survive in the daylight with just a hood.
Race Lift: In the comics, the Muzaffar Lambert Saracen is nonspecifically Middle Eastern and the vampire Saracen is a green tinted chalky white, while this character is African-American.
Right for the Wrong Reasons: Saracen suggests Josh was just getting close to Jen in order to get her blood, but as it's established that Saracen believes he's a vampire and has a strange obsession with blood, everyone at the retreat thinks the notion is crazy. Turns out that's the exact reason Josh was trying to get close to Jen, although it seems he's not exactly interested in drinking it...
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Depending on which version of Saracen this is, he's either a foe of Blade or the Punisher's in the comics, but debuts in a She-Hulk property in the MCU.
You Don't Look Like You: He doesn't look like or dress like either Saracen from the comics.

Appearances: Runaways

Nico's sister who was found dead in her bedroom two years ago, under mysterious circumstances.

The Ace: Implied to have been this, judging by her sporting trophies.
Canon Foreigner: In the comics, not only were the Runaways all only children, it was a central feature of their parents' plan, since the Gibborim would only spare six people.
Death of a Child: Implied to have been a high school student before she died.
Gamer Chick: Used to be gaming buddies with Alex back when she was alive. The fact that he now mostly plays games alone is a major indicator of how badly Alex is still grieving her death.
Playful Hacker: Like Alex, she had a history of hacking, and at one point hacked into the Wizard servers looking for dirt on her parents. This alarmed Jonah, who murdered her in turn.
Posthumous Character: She's dead before the series starts, and Nico and Alex in particular are definitely feeling her absence.

Alpha Bitch: Seen teasing Gert Yorkes. Later, she engages in Victim-Blaming and Slut-Shaming against Karolina after Chase beats Brandon and Lucas for attempting to rape her.

It's All About Me: As befits an influencer, Sequoia is constantly recording herself and posting at her social media accounts.

Wilma Cully

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cully_wilma.png

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Samaire Armstrong

Appearances: Agent Carter

Agnes Cully's (the future Whitney Frost) mother.

Abusive Parent: She's emotionally and verbally abusive toward her daughter, Agnes. Wilma is responsible for twisting her daughter into an evil person through her cynical, selfish view of the world. Agnes was a Child Prodigy, but Wilma made it her mission to quash her daughter's vast potential.
Female Misogynist: She believes that a woman's value is based on her looks alone.
Never My Fault: Wilma refuses to take responsibility for herself, resting all her misfortune on Agnes' shoulders.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: It probably wasn't her intention for her daughter to become a supervillain, but her raising of Whitney Frost is what made her the way she is, and turned her into the Big Bad of Agent Carter's Season 2.

"Uncle" Bud Schultz

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bud_schultz.png

"Why don't you smile for your Uncle Bud?"

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Chris Mulkey

Appearances: Agent Carter

A man who had a long term relationship with Agnes Cully's mother.

Dirty Old Man: He leaves Wilma for a girl barely older than the teenage Agnes.
Jerkass: Bud is jovial enough, but he's a transparent sexist who thinks nothing of throwing a young mother and her child out on the street.

Fagan Corners, Vermont

Bernie Cohen

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Robert Vincent Smith

Appearances: Daredevil

The chief of police in Fagan Corners.

Friend on the Force: To Paxton Page. After some persuasion from Paxton, he agrees to omit some details from the accident report to claim Kevin was driving the car alone and that it wasn't the result of Karen taking her eyes off the road.
Grumpy Old Man: Bernie's in a perpetually foul mood, particularly when Karen is involved.
Jerkass: He's a thorn in Karen's side, being a condescending jerk to her at every opportunity.

Page Family

Paxton Page

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Lee Tergesen

Appearances: Daredevil

Karen Page's father.

Adaptational Dumbass: What with not being a nuclear physicist in this continuity.
Adaptational Job Change: Goes from being a renowned nuclear physicist to owner of a small town diner.
Adaptational Wimp: Since he doesn't gain any superpowers at any point, remaining a totally ordinary man.
Adapted Out: He doesn't become a supervillain here.
I Have No Daughter!: He doesn't outright say it, but following Kevin's death Paxton tells Karen to leave town. When she tries to come back after the Bulletin attack, he tells her it isn't a good idea and clearly doesn't want to see her despite her obvious distress over the phone.
Jerkass Has a Point: Despite his dismissiveness of Karen's concerns over money, he's definitely got a reason to be concerned with Karen going out with Todd, since pretty much everyone in town knows that Todd is a drug dealer.
Ms. Red Ink: He's fiscally poor at managing his money, and the diner is drowning in red ink.
Spared by the Adaptation: Since he never becomes a supervillain, and doesn't die fighting Daredevil.

Penelope Page

Penelope "Penny" Page

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: N/A

Appearances: Daredevil

Karen Page's mother.

Alliterative Name: Alongside her husband Paxton.
Greasy Spoon: She founded Penny's Place in Fagan Corners.
The Ghost: She died of cancer when Karen was in her teens.

Kevin Page

Kevin Paxton Page

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Jack DiFalco

Appearances: Daredevil

Karen Page's younger brother.

Big Brother Instinct: Inverted; though Karen is older than him, Kevin is very protective of her and decides to stage a drastic intervention to get her away from Todd.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Played with. He's definitely trying to contribute more around the diner, and also tries to un-defer Karen's college applications to get Karen out of Fagan Corners and away from Todd's toxic influence. Meanwhile, while Karen is more than competent at bookkeeping and waiting tables, she's also going out at night to do and deal drugs with Todd.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The events leading up to his death and Karen being run out of Fagan Corners wouldn't have happened if he hadn't impulsively decided to go burn down Todd's trailer then stuck around to pick a fight with Todd.
Posthumous Character: He's dead long before the events of the show.
Remember the New Guy?: He first gets mentioned in Season 2 out of nowhere when Karen is helping Matt get dressed for Grotto's funeral, and without having once been mentioned before. Given that Karen blames herself for his death and breaks down in tears when she finds out that Ben and Ellison found out about it, it makes sense that she doesn't talk about Kevin or about Fagan Corners.
Matt Murdock: You never said you had a brother.
Karen Page: Uh...you never asked.
Small Role, Big Impact: His death greatly shaped who Karen has been for all of her adult life.

Savannah, Georgia

James Lucas

Reverend James Lucas

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Reg E. Cathey

Appearances: Luke Cage

"Your strength is from God, Carl. I have no doubt in my mind about that. But with that kind of power comes its share of pain. Science? Magic? God? That power flows from within. From inside. What comes out when that pressure is heaviest? That's the real magic. That's what defines being a man. That's what defines being a hero."

A baptist pastor from Savannah, he is the father of Carl Lucas, the future Luke Cage.

Abusive Parents: Of the emotional variety. Reverend Lucas neglected his illegitimate son Willis Stryker all his life and didn't lift a finger to save him from jail even though it was within his power to do so. He was also at least neglectful of Luke. Given he almost immediately tries to get physical with Luke when the latter doesn't show him enough respect in the present, it's not unreasonable to assume he did so in the past as well.
Adaptational Villainy: In the comics James Lucas was a New York City detective, who was shunned by the rest of the force for not being crooked. Here he is an emotionally abusive and hypocritical baptist minister.
Character Development: Very extensive. When we first saw him in season 2, he was a tough but sincere preacher. Though he still treated Luke with unnecessary roughness, he is a far cry from the hypocritical Abusive Parents he was. Throughout the season, bonding with Luke and the people in his life softens him up some more to the point that he was genuinely proud of Luke and respects his decision to keep fighting for Harlem rather than returning home with him.
Corrupt Church: He had a decades long affair with his secretary and used church funds to support his illegitimate son.
The Ghost: In season 1, he never makes an appearance and in flashbacks he is only seen from the back. He doesn't properly show up until season 2.
Hypocrite: The "do as I say, not as I do" type. He preached a high standard of morality from the pulpit, all the while keeping a mistress on the side, employed by his church and having sex in his office at the church.
I Have No Son!: He disowned Carl after he ended up in Seagate. Cut off all contact with him and returned all his letters unread. Beforehand, he had disowned his bastard son Willis after he got arrested for stealing a Corvette.
Papa Wolf: Even though his son is now bulletproof, he does not take kindly to people trying to shoot Luke.
Luke: (pulling James back from the gunman he just punched out) Dad! Dad! That's enough, man!
James: He shot you.
Luke: Bullets bounce off me.
James: I don't care! You can't be shootin' my baby.
Parents as People: As evidenced by many of the tropes here, he was a deeply flawed parent toward both his sons, but he does ultimately love Luke, acknowledges his own imperfections, and wants Luke to be a better man than him. He is also shown to be very caring and understanding toward people who come to him for guidance in his function as a reverend.
Sins of Our Fathers: All the things that Diamondback hates Luke Cage for are all Reverend Lucas's fault for ignoring him all his life, not lifting a finger to save him from prison and letting his mother die from cancer.
Took a Level in Kindness: When he appeared properly, he is very different from what we know from flashback.
- It's also somewhat implied that he's generally more soft-spoken and openly compassionate with people he doesn't have complicated history and baggage with (i.e. his son), particularly demonstrated in his talk with Claire when she came to visit him.

Esther Lucas

Esther "Etta" Lucas

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Joniece Abbott-Pratt

Species: Human

Portrayed By: Natalie Paul

Appearances: Luke Cage

Sleeping with the Boss: Reverend Lucas had an affair with her due to his own wife being infertile, and in the progress ended up conceiving Diamondback.
Sexy Secretary: Had to be the case

Seagate Prison

Dr. Noah Burstein

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/noah_burstein.png

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Michael Kostroff

Appearances: Luke Cage

The scientist responsible for the experiments that gave Luke Cage his powers.

Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed example. In the comics, Dr. Burstein was a frequent ally to Luke and helped him out whenever he could. While Burstein does help save Luke's life by extracting the Judas shrapnel from his body, it's evident that his unethical research is more important and he wants to see it continuing. When he is last seen in Season 1, he is preparing to give Diamondback superpowers of his own.
Even Evil Has Standards: Well, not necessarily evil, but he does consider Rackham a "racist asshole".
Just Think of the Potential!: He is obsessed with the potential applications of his experiments, such as immortality and eternal youth.
Karma Houdini: He has gotten away with experimenting on a number of inmates, including Luke. And later, he gets Diamondback.
Mad Scientist: A more subdued example than most, Dr. Burstein is still more focused on the science than on things like ethics, legality, or morality.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: The ultimate aim of his experiments is to benefit all of mankind, but he is willing to go to some pretty uncomfortable extremes to get there.
What Happened to the Mouse?: The last episode of Luke Cage season 1 shows him continuing his experiments. Another season of Cage, 2 of Jessica, 1 of the Defenders, and 1 of Daredevil, and who knows how many other shows and movies, and he's never reappeared.

Albert Rackham

"Rule number one: You will obey every rule I say after rule number one. Rule number two: None but the righteous shall see God. And since we ain't got no righteous people in here, God ain't gonna have to worry about your shitty prayers. So that means I'm His mean, shitty substitute."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Chance Kelly

Appearances: Luke Cage

A notoriously corrupt warden at Seagate Prison during Luke Cage's incarceration there.

Blasphemous Boast: See his page quote.
Condescending Compassion: He offers Carl a huge number of perks for being a fighter in the underground ring, and considers himself to be giving him a pretty good deal.
Death by Racism: We never see Rackham do anything overtly racist, but Dr. Burstein flat out says that he was one, and his vendetta against Carl Lucas ultimately caused his death.
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Those captain's bars on the collar of his uniform, combined with the gray coloration, really do look like SS insignia.
Karmic Death: When Cage is in the chemical bath designed to speed up the healing process, Rackham tries to tamper with the process to kill him. The machine overloads and explodes, and Rackham is killed by debris, but Luke survives.
Politically Incorrect Villain: Played with. Despite having a square-jawed Aryan look to him, and being evil as the day is long, Rackham doesn't mistreat Luke based on him being black. He is unquestionably despicable, but Luke could have been white and Rackham's treatment of him would not have changed one bit. With that said, he is offhandedly called out as one by Dr. Burstein posthumously.
Smug Snake: Rackham delights in extending his power over those under him, all while his default facial expression being a self-satisfied, arrogant grin.
Wardens Are Evil: The highest ranking member of Seagate's staff that we meet, he delights in making the inmates' lives hell on Earth.

Ringo

Species: Human

Scary Black Man: Downplayed, as he's only doing his job as a bouncer.

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Joe Holt

Appearances: The Punisher

Sheriff of Larkville County in rural southern Ohio, and an Iraq/Afghanistan veteran. He and his deputies arrest Frank, Amy Bendix, and Marlena Olin following the Tides Motel ambush. He then helps Frank fight off the attack on his station by Pilgrim's mercs.

A Father to His Men: Cares very much about his deputies.
Fire-Forged Friends: He and Frank part on these terms.
Incorruptible Pure Pureness: His station is besieged, one of his deputies is badly wounded, and the attackers will leave if he hands over his prisoners. His answer: return fire.
Real Men Love Jesus: Downplayed. His faith is subtly, but consistently, hinted at.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Hardin knows bullshit when he smells it and does his due diligence on all three of his prisoners. He is also quick to recognize that Frank is neither betraying nor abandoning them during the police station siege.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Doesn't trust Frank when the shooting starts, but doesn't complain too much as long as they’re both shooting in the same direction. He soon figures out that Frank is on his side, though.
This Is Gonna Suck: When the lights, phones, and radio go down, the deputies are bewildered. The Sheriff, on the other hand, immediately grabs an M4 from the gun locker.

New Orleans Police Department

Connors

Detective James Connors

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: J. D. Evermore

Appearances: Cloak and Dagger

A detective with the New Orleans Police Department responsible for killing Billy Johnson.

Arch-Enemy: To Tyrone Johnson, and later, to O'Reilly.
The Atoner: As of Cloak and Dagger Season 2, surprisingly, having spent months in the Darkforce Dimension and coming to regret his deeds. After he gets out, he does his best to try and help Tyrone clear his name.
Big Bad Ensemble: For Cloak and Dagger Season 1, along with Peter Scarborough. While Scarborough serves as the main antagonist for Tandy Bowen's storyline, Connors is the one for Tyrone Johnson's.
Big Bad Wannabe: While he's more competent than Scarborough, he's ultimately just a normal human. He's completely overshadowed as a threat when Roxxon releases the Terrors, and is dragged into the Darkforce Dimension when he gets in the way of Tyrone and Tandy trying to stop them.
Canon Foreigner: He has no counterpart in the comics. His "Agent M" alias, however, belongs to an obscure S.H.I.E.L.D. an agent that appeared in four issues of Micronauts in 1979 and 1980. His role as a corrupt cop becoming an enemy of O'Reilly may be a reference to Roger Falcone.
Corrupt Cop: Yep. Not only did he kill Billy Johnson, he's also involved in drug trafficking.
Dead Guy on Display: Mayhem puts Connors' body on display on the precinct's shooting range, with a "Guilty" sign on it.
Dragged Off to Hell: His fate in the season finale after trying to kill Tyrone one more time is to be sucked into the Darkforce Dimension.
Evil Old Folks: He's a dirty cop who is already starting to show signs of age, placing him in his late fifties or early sixties.
Evil Redhead: A corrupt police officer involved in drug traffic with red hair.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Sports a nasty-looking cut on the left side of his face.
Hate Sink: There's nothing remotely likable about him. At least at first.
The Heavy: While he's not as dangerous as Roxxon, Tyrone's conflict with Connors is more prominent than Tandy's with Scarborough.
Heel–Face Door-Slam: After giving Tyrone's mother, Adina, all the information she needed to know, she kills him, not being able to forgive him for all the pain he put on her and her family.

Brigid O'Reilly

Detective Brigid O'Reilly

Species: Human

Citizenship: Irish-American

Portrayed By: Emma Lahana

Appearances: Cloak and Dagger

A new detective with the New Orleans Police Department. Transferred from the 29th Precinct in New York.

A-Team Firing: Ever since Mayhem split off of Brigid, Brigid lost the ability to shoot properly. Mayhem on the other hand has Improbable Aiming Skills.
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Brigid wears dark red nail polish while Mayhem wears green.
Celebrity Paradox: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. reveals that Power Rangers exists in-universe. Emma Lahana played Kira Ford, the Yellow Ranger of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder.
Fair Cop: A detective who is easy on the eyes.
Fighting Irish: She's down for a scrap, especially after she drowns her sorrows when her boyfriend is murdered.
Literal Split Personality: After being shot by Connors at the end of Season 1, she is exposed to the Roxxon chemicals mixed with the forces that gave Tandy and Tyrone their powers. This causes her to be split into a good side (who largely retains her previous personality) and an evil side (who takes the name Mayhem and despises her good side).
New Meat: Played with. She's newly hired to the NOPD, but she's a veteran detective from Harlem's 29th Precinct.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: O'Reilly wanted to help Tyrone take down Connors and expunge the corrupt cops in her Precinct. By the end of the season her boyfriend was murdered and his body left in the fridge for her to find, Connors ends up escaping the Gaslighting operation she pulled off, Connors shoots her, and she ends up with a doppelganger that wants to kill her in Mayhem.
One Degree of Separation: She mentions to Fuchs in passing that the weirdness of Tyrone's powers isn't too strange since she's used to living in New York and mentions her friend Misty and the weird stories she could tell.
Reasonable Authority Figure: At first, it seems like the guy who tried to rape Tandy will be able to pass off his injuries as being mugged. But when O'Reilly looks closer at the evidence, she realizes that something is wrong, since he has defensive wounds and his pants were unbuckled, and she realizes that he tried to attack Tandy. The boy's family eventually bribes Connors to blame a dead junkie for it, going over O'Reilly's head and straight to her lieutenant to close the case.
Secret-Keeper: Tyrone shows her and Fuchs his abilities, trusting they'll keep the secret.
Split-Personality Merge: In Season 2 Episode 8, Two Player, Brigid decides to merge, and voluntarily surrenders control over their body to Mayhem, concluding that Mayhem's more ruthless approach against crime is needed.
Trademark Favorite Food: Fuchs only mentions making her pancakes.

Mayhem

Species: Enhanced human

Citizenship: Irish-American

Portrayed By: Emma Lahana

Appearances: Cloak and Dagger

Brigid O'Reilly's violent doppelgänger who was created from simultaneous exposure of Darkforce and Lightforce.

Absurdly Sharp Claws: Her nails are sharp enough to slit someone's throat.
Anti-Hero: Her methods are more extreme than the original O'Reillys.
Arrow Catch: In Season 2 Episode 3, she easily catches Tandy's light dagger.
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Brigid wears dark red nail polish while Mayhem wears green.
Evil Twin: More like "Anti-heroic clone".
Flash Step: She has a low amount of Super-Speed.
Impersonating the Evil Twin: Inverted case. This happens several times, when Mayhem needs access to police info.
Improbable Aiming Skills: Mayhem is the part of O'Reilly that can actually aim with the gun, and with frightening precision. Besides trauma, ever since they split, Brigid has been unable to hit her target.
It's Personal: Her original motivation was to find and kill Connors, who murdered her colleague/boyfriend Fuchs. When she finds Connors, the first thing she tries to do is hang him.
Literal Split Personality: She is the bad side to Brigid's good.
Other Me Annoys Me: She hates how weak and pathetic Brigid has acted ever since they were split. Unlike Brigid, who keeps trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol, Mayhem fully intends to act and get her revenge.
Pet the Dog: She seems to pity Tyrone's former teacher, Father Delgado, and how he has gone back to being The Alcoholic.
Scarily Competent Tracker: She has Brigid's intellect and is able to track down the girls that were missing for months, despite her limited resources.
Split-Personality Takeover: Brigid eventually allows her to take over her body.
Superpowered Evil Side: Mayhem has Super-Strength and fingernails sharp enough to easily cut through human skin.
Vigilante Man: Mayhem doesn't hold too much hope for the law and the judicial system, and she is willing to use torture to get what she wants. Her way to get rid of crime in the city is to kill the criminals instead of getting them into prison.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Outside of her intense hatred of her good side, Mayhem still tries to do good things like going after a kidnapping ring that preys on teenage girls. However, her preferred methods are extremely illegal (such as brutally murdering anyone she finds who is involved in the aforementioned kidnapping ring) and make her arguably as bad or worse than the criminals she's targeting.

Badass Normal: Manages to stop Tandy from stealing her hopes.
Deal with the Devil: To save Tyrone, who is on the verge of death, she decides to marry the loa Baron Samedi in exchange for Ty's life.
He Is Not My Boyfriend: Insists that Tyrone is not her boyfriend to Aunt Chantelle. Note that this is the episode after Tyrone gave her his jacket (which is an old St. Sebastian tradition to show that a girl is dating a guy) and they slept together at his house, so she's probably just trying to keep her aunt out of her private life.
Hidden Depths: She is able to push Tandy out of her head through sheer Heroic Willpower.
I Just Want to Be Normal: Despite doing the tour guides for her family's voodoo shop, Evita has some hidden resentment for her family's business. All she wanted was to go to college and then med school to become a doctor. She gives this dream up to become her aunt's successor as mambo and save Tyrone's life.

Adina Johnson

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Gloria Reuben

Appearances: Cloak and Dagger

The wife of Otis Johnson and mother of Billy and Tyrone Johnson.

The Chessmaster: Shows some deep cunning when she gets both her wish to kill Connors and exonerate her son from being wanted for murder by obtaining the info she needed, then leading Connors into a prepared room where she can murder him. She then goes to Father Delgado where she abuses priest-penitent privilege to get the info to the authorities to free Tyrone without having to reveal the source. Connors' corpse is eventually put on display at the police shooting range by Mayhem, and Adina gets away with murder.
My Beloved Smother: Can be this at times, though it's justified. She's afraid to lose Tyrone the same way she lost Billy.
Outliving One's Offspring: Her son Billy died when he was a teenager, and she's never really recovered from it.
Parental Neglect: Of the emotional variety. The trauma of losing Billy left her convinced that even if Tyrone does everything perfectly, she's still going to lose him.
Revenge Before Reason: She murders Connors, despite his honest attempts to atone for his sins.
Take a Third Option: When Tyrone leaves her alone with Connors to sort out her pent up feelings towards the man who killed one of her sons and framed the other one for lying and murdering someone, Adina is not sure if she should kill Connors to quench her thirst for vengeance or to leave him alive to exonerate Tyrone. She takes a third option by getting out all the information she needs from Connors, then killing him.

Mind Rape: Tandy subjects him to her hope-stealing ability, which affects him psychologically.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After getting hope-drained, Liam steals Tandy's money stash and abandons her.
Put on a Bus: He hasn't shown up since stealing Tandy's stash and fleeing. In Season 2 he reappears only in a flashback.
What Ever Happened To The Mouse: He's the proverbial mouse of the trope, as his fate after stealing from Tandy and leaving the church is never brought up.

Meredith Quill

"You're so like your daddy. You even look like him."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Laura Haddock

Voiced By: Mariana Ortiz (Latin-American Spanish), Aline Ghezzi (Brazilian Portuguese)

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ^note Flashback only | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ^notephotograph

"Peter, I know these last few months have been hard for you. But I'm going to a better place and I will be okay. And I will always be with you. You are the light of my life. My precious son. My little Star-Lord. Love, Mom."

The human mother of Peter Quill, Star-Lord, leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Baldness Means Sickness: Meredith is introduced (and promptly killed off) on her deathbed. She's bald-headed.
Break the Cutie: She found the love of her life who swept her off her feet and enjoyed an idyllic, golden romance with him, and eventually conceived a child with him. Unfortunately, Ego was just using her in his experiments to produce an offspring with the Celestial gene, and put a tumor in her brain, dooming her to a slow, painful death.
Death by Origin Story: She dies in the first scene of the film, and as the sequel reveals, was intentionally killed by Ego to make her son more malleable to his wishes.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: As shown in the first film, she died of brain cancer (which the sequel later revealed was actually caused by Ego), whereas in the comics, she was shot by a pair of Badoon assassins who wanted to kill her and her son, Star-Lord.
Divine Date: With Ego, a Celestial. She even describes him like he's an angel.
Good Parents: To Peter Quill/Star-Lord. She raised him by herself, and he was very close to her and devastated when she died of cancer.
Identical Grandson: Her mother, who once asked Captain America for an autograph back in the day, looks exactly like she did before the cancer diagnosis. Naturally, Peter's grandmother is much older by the time that he's abducted.
Ironic Last Words: While not exactly the last words she spoke in the land of the living, one of them is calling Peter's father "an angel". Come the sequel, he find out that Ego could be compared to an angel, just not the good kind.
Morality Pet: For Star-Lord and Peter at his most anti-heroic. The memory of his mother is enough to bring her son back from the edge. In Vol. 2, just when Ego seemed to have succeeded in brainwashing Peter to his evil plan, Peter asks Ego if he loved his mother and Ego's reveal that he killed her, made him snap out and shoot and turn against Ego. Ego also specifically killed Meredith specifically so she couldn't become a Morality Pet to him.
Satellite Family Member: To Peter. As she is dying of cancer, she tells him that he'll be her Little Star Lord. This causes the tearful Peter to run away from the hospital and his family. He was captured by the Ravagers and grew up to be the space outlaw named "Star Lord".
Secret-Keeper: It's implied by her calling Ego a "space man" and her son "Star-Lord" that she did know of Ego's alien origin and connection and that eventually Peter would be separated from Earth and live in outer-space, since she was sure that eventually his father would come and pick him up. Of course, she had no inkling of Ego's real plan and intentions. The brain tumor also was blamed for her rantings about "knowing a spaceman."
Sickeningly Sweethearts: In the flashback we get to their courtship, Meredith is head over heels in love with Ego, singing songs with him and enjoying car rides on sunny days. Ego continuously woos her by telling her some things (including alluding to his plan for a hostile terraforming of Earth) she doesn't even understand, but doesn't even care about. Ego did return the sentiment, but still used her solely to try to create a half-Celestial child, and he went so far as to kill her by giving her a brain tumor.
The Topic of Cancer: She died of cancer before Peter's eyes, weakened and hollowed by chemotherapy, unbeknownst to her said cancer was invoked by Ego the Living Planet, her alien lover.
Tragic Keepsake: The Walkman that Peter Quill carries with him and the cassettes of mixtapes of popular music of the time which she loved. Ego tragically destroys it when he forcibly takes control of Peter.
Unwitting Pawn: Just another woman Ego impregnated to try to produce a child with the Celestial offspring to one day terraform the entire universe.

Jason Quill

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Gregg Henry

Voiced By:

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Meredith Quill's father and Star-Lord's grandfather.

Good Parents: He was close to his daughter and grandson, being fairly gentle with Peter despite his own recollections.
Grumpy Old Man: Downplayed in The Stinger, where Jason shares mutual frustration with his grandson that his neighbor's son, a grown man in his forties, prefers to sit and watch while the latter mows his mother's front lawn.
Innocently Insensitive: He told Peter to get out of the room when Meredith flatlined, presumably because he didn't want the kid to witness it; but into adulthood, Peter had remembered it as a harsh rejection and spends a long part of his life believing his grandpa hated him.
Mythology Gag: He's named after J'son of Spartax, Star-Lord's father in the comics.
Older Than They Look: He is in his 90s by the end of the third movie, though his actor was 71 at time of Vol. 3's release. As such, he looks younger than your average nonagenarian.
Outliving One's Offspring: His first scene has him witnessing his daughter die of cancer. He also believed his grandson Peter to be dead, but fortunately discovered that wasn't the case.
Parents Know Their Children: Grandparents in this case. Despite Peter having been gone for almost forty years, he still instantly recognizes him when he returns to Missouri to reunite with him.
Second Love: It can be assumed that Meredith's mother passed after the prologue. In the sequels, he has a new partner.

Tobias Ford

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ford_tobias.jpg

"I'm being dragged to hell for what I did."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Robert Baker

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

A technician who was seemingly killed in a laboratory accident; in reality, he's somehow caught between two worlds, and is stalking Hannah Hutchins.

Anti-Villain: Tobias is not trying to hurt Hannah, he's trying to protect her. It's not very comforting, but it's a far cry from the killer or demon everyone originally thought him to be.
The Atoner: He's trying to make up for his mistakes.
Expy: While teleporting is a fairly common power, doing so by traveling through a Hell-dimension in a puff of smoke is unique to the X-Men's Nightcrawler. There's also the fact that both characters are very religious.
Extradimensional Shortcut: When he teleports, he travels between Earth and another realm he thinks is Hell.
Manchild: He causes problems so Hannah will pay him attention; like the boy in the sandbox that tugs on a girl's pigtails.
Psychopathic Manchild: Tobias clearly never learned that when someone upsets your crush, you don't blow up their gas station or try to run them over.
Stalker with a Crush: To Hannah, both less disturbing than normal (he's just a normal guy who didn't know how to talk to the girl he likes) and more (he sabotaged a particle accelerator). Skye notes that he's acting like a kid with a crush.
Stealth Hi/Bye: He pulls it a lot with the teleporting power and everything. Then May pulls it on him, disappearing in the space of a half-second black out right as he's about to whack her with a wrench.
Talking the Monster to Death: May confronts Tobias, and convinces him to stop "protecting" Hannah for her own sake, since his current actions are only dragging her to hell with him. He realizes this, and lets himself slip through.
Teleporter Accident: The rough theory goes that the scientists running the particle accelerator were trying to recreate the rifts from Thor: The Dark World. Then Tobias came in and sabotaged a minor part, which snowballed into a detonation that trapped him between two worlds. He's able to move between them, but is slowly losing himself to the other one.
Teleport Spam: He makes good use of being stuck between worlds, such as disappearing to dodge attacks, enter locked rooms, and so forth.
Too Dumb to Live: He repeatedly sabotaged a particle accelerator in order to get Hanna's attention.
Wrench Whack: He is lugging around a pipe wrench, which he was carrying during the accident. This serves as the first hint that there's more to the accident than first appears; a pipe wrench is not the proper tool to be tightening bolts with.

Portrayed By: Laura Seay

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

A young woman that seems to have telekinetic powers. In reality, she was being haunted by her friend Tobias, who had a crush on her.

All-Loving Hero: Skye points out that she didn't choose her job as a safety inspector because she wanted to be a Rules Lawyer. She did it because she couldn't stand the thought of anyone being hurt.
The Atoner: She's trying to make up for her mistakes.
Break the Cutie: She thought that God was punishing her by sending demons after her.

Audrey Nathan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10d318b2c4ade924e566ea071ea7677c.png

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Amy Acker

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The former girlfriend of Coulson, otherwise known as the Cellist.

Ascended Extra: She was originally intended to be a completely throwaway tidbit about Coulson in The Avengers, but fans were so fascinated by Coulson having a girlfriend that the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. writers gave her two more mentions and then finally her on-screen debut.
Damsel in Distress: Audrey is being stalked by Daniels and is briefly caught up in the battle between him and Coulson's team.
Her Heart Will Go On: The reason Coulson doesn't want to reveal his resurrection to her is because she's already started to move past her grief and he doesn't want to reopen old wounds.
Nice Girl: Appears to be a very sweet, gentle person.
The One That Got Away: For Coulson.
Put on a Bus: Given that Amy Acker's role on Person of Interest got promoted to major character during the same season that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. debuted, it was obvious once Audrey's actress was announced that she wouldn't have the time to be a regular on this show. Curiously, the mechanism that invokes the trope is the opposite of the usual: She stays put, while the show's focus centers around Coulson's life on the Bus (quite literally, given the nickname of Coulson's favorite plane).
Rescue Romance: She and Coulson first fell in love after he came with SHIELD to protect her from Daniels the first time.

"I can’t lose another son."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Rey Lucas

Appearances: Moon Knight

Marc Spector's father.

Composite Character: Presumably with his wife's comic counterpart in his attempts to comfort Marc, basically swapping roles with her in what was originally his shiva.
Good Parents: In contrast to his abusive and alcoholic wife, Elias continued to love Marc all the same, celebrating his birthdays with him and begging him not to join the military, insisting that he cannot "lose another son". When Marc returns home to attend his mother's shiva, Elias is openly welcoming and beckons Marc inside without a hint of malice. However, as Marc points out, he didn't do much to protect Marc from Wendy's abuse.
Inexplicably Identical Individuals: He shares the same actor as Detective Tomas Ciancio.
Outliving One's Offspring: His younger son Randall drowned when he was just a kid.
Parents as People: He genuinely loves Marc, but he proved unable to rein his wife in after she turned abusive.
Spared by the Adaptation: In the comics, Elias dies when Marc is an adult, many years after he had his son committed to a psychiatric facility after realizing Marc was apparently suffering from delusions. In the show, he is still alive at Wendy's shiva, which happens two months before the beginning of the story.
Useless Bystander Parent: Try as he did to be a loving parent, Elias ultimately alienated Marc by not doing more to curb his wife's abuse towards their son. Marc calls him out on this when Elias tries to convince him not to leave.

Wendy Spector

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/263c64af_92d5_4f9e_b8cf_ec682ea2d64e.jpeg

"I want my RoRo back. I want him back!"

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Fernanda Andrade

Appearances: Moon Knight

Marc Spector's mother.

Abusive Parents: After the death of Marc's brother, Randall, she became physically and emotionally abusive, blaming Marc for his death and beating him. Said abuse is what caused Steven to be created, a defensive mechanism against that abuse.
Adaptational Villainy: Wendy's a very minor character in the comics, and there has never been any particular indication she was abusive to Marc.
Alcoholic Parent: After Randall's death, she spirals into depression and starts drinking heavily, which becomes an aggravating factor in her abuse of Marc.
Ascended Extra: Marc's mother doesn't play a big role in the comics, only appearing at Elias' shiva to try and get her son to stay.
Broken Pedestal: Steven loved her very much, only to find out that she was an abusive mother who wanted to take things out on him whenever she could (Marc may not have even meant for her to be Steven's mom in particular).
Dead All Along: Steven thinks that she's alive, and regularly calls her until Marc breaks the truth to him that she passed away two months before the start of the series.
Death by Adaptation: The comics had previously shown her alive during Elias' shiva, rather than the other way around, where she actually tried to reassure Marc that his father loved him.
Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off!: Wendy is shown to have beaten Marc with a belt during his childhood to punish him for accidentally getting his brother killed.
Face–Heel Turn: She was a normal, loving mother to Marc before the accident. After, though, she quickly became abusive.
Karma Houdini: Got to die of old age without Marc or anyone giving her any real comeuppance for her abuse.
Named by the Adaptation: In the comics, Mrs. Spector never got a first name.
Never My Fault: She places all the blame on Marc for Randall's death, despite the fact that she let the two kids go into a cave during a rainstorm without supervision in the first place.
Outliving One's Offspring: Her younger son Randall drowned when he was just a kid.
Parental Favoritism: Taken to an unhealthy degree after Randall dies. She ends up abusing Marc for the rest of his childhood to the point of claiming that he intentionally killed his brother out of jealousy, even when that wasn't remotely the case.
Posthumous Character: She died of unknown causes two months before the series began, with the only time we see her being in Marc’s memories.
Psychopathic Womanchild: The way she ends up handling her grief and emotions after Randall's death make her come off as something akin to an upset Spoiled Brat that might be acting more childish than either of her sons were.
Sanity Slippage: It's subtle, but years after the fact, Wendy somehow became deluded into thinking Marc was jealous of Randall and intentionally killed him, when Marc actually loved his brother and never would have meant to kill him. She also says, "I should have known you would do something like this", despite the fact that at the time she says this, it's at least two years after Randall's death.
Small Role, Big Impact: She's only around for a few flashbacks, but the trauma of her horrific abuse on her son is the reason why Marc developed DID and Steven was created, indirectly creating the Moon Knight of the show.
Troubled Abuser: She emotionally and physically abused Marc because she couldn't cope with the death of Randall, and is implied to have a mental illness.
Villainous Breakdown: During Randall's shiva, the sight of Marc made her snap and erupt into a crying, screaming fit about how it was all his fault that his brother died. This kickstarted her years of abuse towards her surviving son.
Why Did You Make Me Hit You?: Wendy says this as she begins whipping Marc with a belt.

Adaptational Heroism: In the comics, he grows up to be one of Marc's supervillains, known as Shadow Knight. Here, he dies before ever becoming an adult, and Marc looks back on him with wistful fondness.
Affectionate Nickname: He was called RoRo by his mom and Marc.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the comics, he grows to adulthood, only to be killed later during a fight with Marc over the Sapphire Crescent. Here, he dies as a child due to a rainstorm flooding the cave he and Marc were exploring.
Death of a Child: He and Marc went into a cave during a rainstorm, and he drowned when the cave flooded.
I Want My Mommy!: His final words were to cry out for his mother.
Posthumous Character: He's only seen in flashbacks, as he's been dead for years.
Small Role, Big Impact: His death was what caused Wendy to become abusive and for Marc to create Steven.
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Randall was a carefree and adventurous boy who drowned in a cave when it filled up with rainwater.

Species: Human

Portrayed By: Chaske Spencer

Appearances: Echo

Maya's uncle and William's brother.

A Father to His Men: Maya's uncle Henry works for Fisk. When one of Fisk's armories are bombed, Henry promises to protect his staff from any "crap that rolls downhill."
Arms Dealer: His primary job appears to be import-export and logistics in keeping Fisk's goons well-armed. He appears to be high-ranking as well, as Maya easily butchers Zane's operation and storehouse by easily planting a bomb in one of Henry's train cars.
Improbable Aiming Skills: Henry snipes Zane with a pistol from across a crowded fairground.
Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters: He owns a popular skating rink in Tamaha, and is known for doing a lot for his community. At the same time, the rink - as well as the local rail yard - are fronts for moving weapons.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: He was the one who got William a job working for Fisk, which eventually got him (and at least a few ASL interpreters) killed.
Only Sane Man: Compared to the bloodthirsty Zane, psychotic Ben Poindexter, or utterly ruthless James Wesley, Henry comes across as a far more reluctant, albeit willing, member of Fisk's empire who looks after his own people and prioritizes his community and family over Fisk.
Token Good Teammate: Arguably one for Fisk's organization. Even though he's a longtime member of his criminal empire, he only does it to provide for his community, and he has clear lines he refuses to cross.

Badass Driver:
- Despite his claim that he’s not good at driving a truck with the steering wheel on the wrong side, he’s pretty good at off-road driving.
- He later drives a monster truck over the two vans belonging to Fisk's minions.
Extreme Doormat: He is easily pressured into helping Maya plant a bomb on one of Fisk's trains. He's later pressured into letting several of Fisk's assassins use the wrong parking lot so they have a better point to attack the powwow. However, he eventually grows a spine and runs them over with a monster truck.
Oh, Crap!: Biscuits' reaction when he accidentaly reveals to Bonnie that Maya is in town.
Raised by Grandparents: He was raised by his grandmother.
The Whitest Black Guy: He stands out from the primarily Native American cast by looking and sounding more like a redneck (his actor Cody Lightning is a Plains Cree Native).

Cool Old Guy: He's an easygoing Deadpan Snarker Gadgeteer Genius and a friend to Maya even though she's been gone for a long time. He also respects Chula's space despite still carrying a torch for her.
Gadgeteer Genius: Builds Maya both a temporary prosthetic out of spare parts and a permanent one with an ornate decoration. He also supplies her with specialized equipment for her Train Job, though he's weirded out by her buying "militia shit."
Magical Native American: He plays up this stereotype for his white customers by coating everything he sells in some made-up-on-the-spot mysticism.

"Just because you grow up in a family of abusive monsters doesn't mean you have to become one."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Tyler Ritter

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Thomas was the only one Mother didn't torture, and Dad always let her do it. She loved him so much."

— Christian Ward

The younger brother of Grant and Christian Ward. The only member of the family who's not a horrible monster.

Abusive Parents: His dad had "anger issues" and his mom had "dad issues". And they took those issues out on their children. Christian claimed Thomas was their favorite and got the least of it, but he's the only family member left who knows how much of that was true.
Brutal Honesty: He doesn't mince words when telling Grant that the horrible things he's done, especially murdering Christian and their parents, were unjustifiable.
Everyone Has Standards: He hates Grant not only because of his Never My Fault philosophy but because his "protection" of him usually involves brutal killing. He even tells Grant that he's the worst member of the family, even when compared to Christian and their parents.
Minor Major Character: Thomas was The Ghost for the first two seasons of the series. He serves as a major figure in Grant's backstory and his revelation that in spite of everything Christian and his parents did, Grant turned out worse served as the final Heel–Face Door-Slam for Grant.
Nice Guy: Unlike his brothers he's a genuinely nice guy.
Sympathy for the Devil: Despite how horrible Christian and his parents were, he believes they didn't deserve to be murdered by Grant.
That Man Is Dead: He changed his name so Grant would never find him.
The Unfavorite: Zig-zagged. While he was his parents' favorite it didn't stop them from abusing him anyway.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He tells Grant that he's even worse than their parents and Christian. That and helping S.H.I.E.L.D. track him, pushed Grant further over the edge, all while in the middle of torturing Fitz and Simmons, psychologically and physically respectively.
White Sheep: Despite his abusive history, he refused to continue the cycle of abuse and turned out to be a nice guy.

Bait-and-Switch: When Sam mentions that he gave the Darkhold to L.T. Koenig, yet another character played by Patton Oswalt is seen, implying that he's L.T. He's actually Thurston Koenig, and L.T. is their older sister.
Hipster: If his appearance, overall demeanor and dislike of "sheeple" are anything to go by.
Refusal of the Call: He is the only one of the Koenig brothers who refused LT's attempt to recruit them into S.H.I.E.L.D.
Wrong Genre Savvy: Acts as if S.H.I.E.L.D. is an X-Files style sinister government conspiracy instead of the benevolent organization it strives to be.

Big Damn Heroes: Shows up to bail out Hunter and Fitz in his chopper. And crashes it and dies immediately.
The Ghost: Never shows up in-person, outside of crashing his chopper from a distance.
Lives in a Van: He lived in an old, beat up Winnebago full of bootlegged surveillance equipment, hacking gear, other spy crap, and his two pet ferrets. Hunter and Fitz used the camper as a temporary mobile HQ while on the run from Hale.
No Name Given: We never find out his full name, only that he's "Rusty."
Private Military Contractor: Despite his offbeat lifestyle, Rusty made his living as a mercenary. Hunter laments that he was but one of the many shifty scumbags he had to associate with after leaving S.H.I.E.L.D.
Properly Paranoid: He was a gigantic conspiracy theorist and recluse. According to Hunter, some of his more colorful theories actually panned out.
We Hardly Knew You: He dies in his first appearance, crashing his chopper into an army base where Fitz was held at.
Weasel Mascot: He kept two pet ferrets in his camper which Hunter had to look after following his untimely demise. The ferrets...actually ended up coming in real handy in acquiring Enoch's stasis pod from Hale's base.

"My gamertag is NoobMaster69...my cousin made it."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: DC Pierson

Appearances: Captain America: The Winter Soldier | Avengers: Endgame ^note Mentioned only | The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ^note Promotional ad

Thor: “NoobMaster! Hey, Thor again! You know, The God of Thunder? Listen buddy, if you don’t log off of this game immediately, I’m gonna fly over to your house, come down to that basement you're hiding in, rip off your arms and shove them up your butt! That’s right! Go cry to your father, you little weasel!”

An Apple employee who tries to assist Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff when they use Fury's flash drive on a display computer in the store.

Nine years after the events of The Winter Soldier, he has become an internet troll who bullies Korg and Miek while they play Fortnite at Thor's Cabin in New Asgard. His insult-of-choice is "dickhead".

Ass Shove: Is threatened to be on the receiving end of this with his own arms by Thor.
Basement-Dweller: Implied, since, according to Thor, Aaron was crying for his father after being threatened.
Canon Character All Along: An Xbox ad reveals that NoobMaster69 is actually Aaron the Apple employee from Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: NoobMaster69 bit off a bit more than he can chew when he called Korg, Thor's roommate and friend, a "dickhead" while playing Fortnite. Cue the drunk and angry Thunder God yelling that he'll "rip off his arms and shove them up his butt".
Dirty Coward: He trolls people over the internet, and apparently cries when Thor threatens him.
The Ghost: We don't see what NoobMaster69 looks like, but that just leaves the fans of Endgame with a lot of discussion to speculate who he is. We don't even hear his voice on the other end of Korg's headset.
Griefer: He's apparently had a history of going after Korg specifically.
LOL, 69: His gamertag ends with 69, likely not a coincidence.
Manchild: Keeping the gamertag NoobMaster69 and calling someone a "dickhead" was immature enough, but if Thor is to be believed, Aaron was crying for his father.
New Job as the Plot Demands: Was an Apple employee during The Winter Soldier, but has become an Xbox employee after the Blip.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Regularly and verbally bullies/torments Korg and Miek, enough so that the very mention of NoobMaster69 is a Berserk Button for the now drunken shut-in thunder god.
Troll: Hides behind his online anonymity to tease and bully online players less skilled than he is.

Klev

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Zach Cherry

Appearances: Spider-Man: Homecoming | Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings | Spider-Man: No Way Home ^note Voice only

A street vendor who recognizes Spider-Man and asks him to do a flip. He later moves to San Francisco and has a run in with Shang-Chi.

Acrofatic: Apparently has some martial arts training, enough that he feels confident to grade Shang-Chi's fight prowess.
Ascended Extra: Only in a relative sense, but he goes from having single-digit-seconds screentime in Spider-Man: Homecoming to being a comedic, if minor, part of a scene in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Big Fun: A pretty light-hearted and jubilant guy.
Easily Impressed: Begins yelling in excitement when Spider-Man does the backflip he requests.
Noodle Incident: He decides not to get behind the wheel of an out of control bus because he's apparently been yelled at before for trying to drive buses.
No Name Given: The credits of Spider-Man: Homecoming just list him as "street vendor".
Social Media Before Reason: His reaction to the fight that breaks out in the bus he's in is to record it for his social media and add his own commentary.

The Cameo: Only appears in one scene.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: He is the prosecutor who sent the Abomination to prison.

Species: Human

Citizenship: Chinese-American

Portrayed By: Tsai Chin

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I may be retired but I still have contacts. And my agency hasn't fallen apart."

Melinda May's mother, a retired secret agent who is still well-connected even after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D.

All There in the Manual: Her first name hasn't been mentioned in the show but has been revealed on the book about behind-the-scenes details of the first season, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season One Declassified.
Cool Old Lady: She's a retired secret agent with a penchant for snarkiness.
Deadpan Snarker: We can see where May got it from. One of the first things she says to Melinda after meeting her is that her (Lian's) agency hasn't fallen apart.
Good Parents: She drove five hundred miles to pick up her daughter. Then there's tapping her contacts to aid her search of Maria Hill. According to Coulson, May was better adjusted before the event where she earned her hated nickname.
Retired Badass: She's a retired agent from an unspecified agency.

William May

Species: Human

Citizenship: Chinese-American

Portrayed By: James Hong

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The father of Melinda May.

Cool Old Guy: He is a kind and loving parent to May.
Foreign Cuss Word: It's implied he said a curse word in (unsubtitled) Mandarin when Lance Hunter suddenly appeared out of nowhere in his house.
Good Parents: He advised his daughter to follow what she thinks it's best for her, prompting her to rejoin S.H.I.E.L.D.
Happily Married: Sadly not. He said he was with May's mom for 20 years, meaning that they've already been divorced by now, which also explain Lian's absence when Melinda visited him. Whether they are Amicable Exes or not, however, is not very clear.
Henpecked Husband: He jokes that Lian chopped vegetables in a threatening manner to nonverbally communicate, "stay in line, old man". This is a joke because he says his daughter inherited the same chopping technique to his daughter when she is chopping vegetables.
Revenge by Proxy: He was injured in a hit and run, and May believes that Ward might've been behind it, hence why May is looking after him.

The Shlotmann Family

Hope Shlotmann

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shlottman_hope.jpg

"He made me jump for hours, as high as I could ... he said I was never as good as you."

Species: Human

Citizenship: American

Portrayed By: Erin Moriarty

Appearances: Jessica Jones

A young college student who, much like Jessica, falls victim to Kilgrave's machinations, forging a bond between them.

Always Someone Better: Kilgrave was never as complimentary to Hope as he was to Jessica:
Hope: He made me jump for hours, as high as I could ... he said I was never as good as you.
Break the Cutie: She's another one of Kilgrave's victims, which naturally makes her one of these.
Convicted by Public Opinion: What she says has happened to her in her hometown, even after she's released, and probably part of the motivation for her Heroic Suicide.
Expy: She bares many similarities to Mattie Franklin, being a young woman who ends up under the thumb of an abusive asshole while she's unable to control herself, has essentially kidnapped her and cuts her off from all her friends and family, and serves as a Morality Pet for Jess based off of their similar circumstances. The main differences are that Mattie also had superpowers (being one of the Spider-Women), and it was an unconnected drug dealer using date-rape drugs to keep her in a state of limited consciousness rather than Kilgrave, and Jess sought her out initially because she accidentally broke into Jess' apartment, not because Jess was hired to look for her.
Foil: To Jessica. Both were slaves to Kilgrave, both killed innocent people under his influence, and both were left devastated and broken by their experience. Jessica, however, found the inner strength and determination to carry on and rebuild her life (albeit not all that healthily). Hope might have found hers, too if fate had given her a chance.
Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Averted; when she finds out she's pregnant with Kilgrave's child, she pays some of the beefier inmates to beat her up and induce a miscarriage. When it doesn't work, Jessica gets her some abortion pills.
Heroic Suicide: Hope punctures her own throat to stop herself being used as a hostage, so Jessica no longer has a reason to keep Kilgrave alive and can finish him off.
Living MacGuffin: The need to prove her innocence is why Jessica can't just kill Kilgrave and be done with it. Also, after she aborts Kilgrave's child, Hogarth takes the remains to see if she can replicate his ability. This doesn't work, but once Kilgrave learns about it, he has biochemists use the remains to enhance his abilities—drastically.
Manchurian Agent: Kilgrave had implanted a latent order in her to kill her parents upon getting reunited with them, all just to send Jessica a message.
Prison Rape: Implied to suffer this at the hands of Sissy Garcia.
Self-Made Orphan: Shortly after being reunited with her folks, Kilgrave's brainwashing kicks in and Hope grabs a gun to shoot them. This plus the ensuing trial inspires Jessica to go after Kilgrave.
"Shaggy Dog" Story: The driving arc of Season 1 in Jessica Jones is to prove Hope's innocence by capturing Kilgrave and forcing to prove he was controlling her mind, to the point Jessica has to struggle with other individuals like Will Simpson who want him dead. All of this turns to ashes when Hope kills herself just to give Jessica the motivation to kill him without worrying about proving her own innocence. Though at least, her death does contribute in making Kilgrave pay at the end.
Thanatos Gambit: She kills herself so that Jessica can finally take Kilgrave down without any restraints.
Trauma Conga Line: Her kidnapping by Kilgrave kicks off the plot, where he psychologically tortured her in an attempt to mimic his time with Jessica. After being rescued (where she was forced to lie in bed for five hours in a puddle of her own pee, she's forced to murder her parents by Kilgrave's programming. This lands her in jail. While in jail, she finds out that she is pregnant with Kilgrave's child. She pays another inmate to beat her in order to abort the fetus, before getting a proper chemical abortion. And of course after she is released, when she falls back into Kilgrave's clutches, she decides to kill herself rather then be used by Kilgrave as a hostage against Jessica.
You Can't Go Home Again: When Kilgrave arranges her release from prison, she tells Jessica she can't ever go back home, blaming herself for her parents' deaths and telling her little brother she's dead.
