 * Evilutionary Biologist

Titania (Mary MacPherran)

 * Absolute Cleavage: Her usual attire sports this.
 * Arch Enemy: Of She-Hulk.
 * Always Someone Better: Has a raging inferiority complex when it comes to She-Hulk. Creel's advice to her on this subject can be found in the Quotes section of that trope's page.
 * Amazonian Beauty
 * Arrogant Kung Fu Gal
 * The Brute: A rare female example.
 * Evil Counterpart: To She-Hulk. Every bit as tall, buff, strong, and durable as Shulkie, and very hotheaded to boot, which factors heavily into her heated rivalry with She-Hulk.
 * Evil Is Sexy: Has even been seen in a dress on at least one occasion.
 * Fiery Redhead Evil Redhead
 * Foe Yay: With She-Hulk. In spades.
 * Hot Amazon: At the very least, Creel enjoys the fact that she can keep up with him. In turn, she admires his physical strength.
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex: A large factor in her Foe Yay with Shulkie. Titania hates feeling weak (as it reminds her of childhood), so whenever Shulkie manages to get the upper hand, Titania just loses it. Inversely, when she out-muscles She-Hulk, Titania is all high and mighty and quick to rub it in her foe's face.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Your Mileage May Vary.
 * Official Couple: With Absorbing Man.
 * Smug Super: When you start out as an often picked on girl who is transformed into a tall and tough Amazon thanks to Doctor Doom, it's only natural that you begin to think of yourself as superior to most.
 * Statuesque Stunner
 * Super Strength: She's actually stronger than She-Hulk in her usual calm state, although that hasn't stopped She-Hulk and even Spider-Man (during Secret Wars) from walking all over her on a few occasions. Regardless, the two women are among the strongest female supers in the Marvel universe, and much like She-Hulk, she can undergo Training From Hell to increase her already impressive strength.
 * Tsundere: Type A. She's quite brash and abrasive by default, but surprisingly loving and devoted towards Creel (they tend to be overprotective of each other as a result). Titania is arguably a Yandere (disambiguation)/Stalker with a Crush in regards to Shulkie.
 * Unholy Matrimony: Again, with Creel.
 * Ugly Guy, Hot Wife
