Marvel Cinematic Universe/Characters: Difference between revisions

** [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]

* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: He doesn't like Tony. ''At all.'' {{spoiler|But there's nothing like a battle that bonds brothers together.}}

* [[Unobtanium]]: His shield, which is composed of the only samples of Vibranium ever found by Howard Stark.

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Which is why he finds Stark's materialistic-cynicism twice as grating as most people would.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Thor.

* [[Badass]]: Quite so. [[Tom Hiddleston]] has stated that he cranks the badassery factor [[Up to Eleven]] in ''The Avengers''.

** [[Badass Bookworm]]

** [[Badass in a Nice Suit]]: Dresses impeccably when hiding amongst humans.

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]

* [[Gender Bender]]: Referenced in ''Thor'', even if not actually seen in action. In the beginning of the film, Odin rides in on Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse, who, in Norse mythology, is Loki's son (the product of shape-shifting into a mare, having relations with a stallion, and ending up pregnant for two years). Makes this a literal [[Mythology Gag]].

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: While it's not his motivation, Loki is consumed by his envy of Thor and has a hell of a time hiding it in the first act of ''Thor''.

* [[Green Eyes]]: Apropos for the above, but only in the marketing. In the film, he has blue eyes.

* [[Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum]]: Ever since discovering his origins, Loki has essentially been ''subtly'' throwing one. That said, all bets are off in ''The Avengers'' when he clearly becomes fed up.

* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]

* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: In ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]''.

* [[Tragic Villain]]: In ''Thor''.

* [[Wicked Cultured]]

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Though he certainly manages it well. In fact [[Power Born of Madness|all but outright stated by Zola]], who notes that the fact that his plans are insane only makes them more effective because he is more than capable of carrying them out in every psychotic detail.

'''Schmidt''': "Evidently not..."

An extremely advanced AI which Tony Stark developed. He's operated by a multitude of terminals, assists him in just about everything he develops, has complete functional control of various in-house robots, and he is in a lot of ways ''Tony Stark's house itself''. A J.A.R.V.I.S. uplink is also used as the operating system for the Iron Man suit, making him essentially ''one half'' of Iron Man, the other half obviously being Tony.

----

* [[AI Roulette]]: One of his robots (supposedly, Tony's first) is ''incredibly'' incompetent. Tony describes it as a "tragedy."

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: ''Good lord'', is he ever.
