Runaways

  • Much like Lockjaw from Inhumans, everyone loves Old Lace the Deinonychus. Especially popular is that the design manages to incorporate feathers like it's now known dinosaurs had, while still not messing too much with the classic image of them.

Netflix Series

Daredevil

  • Claire Temple received a lot of praise for her Good Is Not Soft Beware the Nice Ones moments while still being sympathetic and supportive of Matt. It's a refreshing break from the stereotypical female love interest on superhero television as well as a strong performance from Rosario Dawson. Many bemoan how wasted she is in the first season of Daredevil (2015) when it was clear that Dawson is only an Advertised Extra. Then this turned to excitement when she was revealed to actually be the connecting thread between every Netflix series, much like Coulson was in the Phase 1 films. Unfortunately averted when she started to be written as a holier than thou character. She eventually become such a Scrappy that she was written out of Luke Cage Season 2, with Cage himself dismissing her.

Luke Cage

  • Rafael Scarfe, for being a great foil to Misty Knight, as well as being incredibly sassy. Sadly, he's also a Dirty Cop, but that just gives him excuse to sass Cottonmouth as well.
  • Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes. Audiences were outraged when he died only halfway into the first season, and Diamondback, who took his spot as Big Bad, is widely regarded as inferior.
  • Shades is also very popular with fans, largely to his Magnificent Bastard tendencies and Theo Rossi's incredibly smooth performance. Made even better that he actually manages to survive the entire season.

Iron Fist

  • There's the Drunken Master Zhou Cheng who Danny fights, distinguished not only by his amusing personality but by being one of the few Hand members to not only nearly win against Danny, but show a degree of honor while doing it, something his compatriots were clearly lacking.
  • Scythe is also very memorable due to his introductory scene being strangling a man with a microphone while singing karaoke (of "Take on Me" no less) as well as being a badass Hand warrior with a snide sense of humor who nearly matches Danny in combat.
  • Mary Walker. Already a fan favorite from the comic, here Mary was played to perfection by the talented Alice Eve who managed to effectively play two contrasting roles. Even more impressive is that each alter is a Rounded Character with different motivations and is not defined by their relationships to each other. Prior to news of the series' cancellation, both reviewers and fans were clamoring for more of Mary in season 3 and the inevitable debut of Bloody Mary.

The Punisher

  • Beth is this after her introductory episode, showing us a glimpse of what Frank's life would be like if chose to stop punishing.
  • Ringo. He's the bouncer for Beth's club who assists Frank in the bar brawl, tanking a lot of damage and even snapping a mercenary's neck after getting stabbed several times. He needed a lot of bullets to be put down for good. Whenever he's brought up in the forums, people pay respect.
