== World Tropes ==

* [[Broad Strokes]]: Thanks to being set in [[Alternate Continuity]], MC2 can choose which new elements or characters from regular Marvel Universe will incorporate into itself (like Araña) and discard everything else ([[Secret Invasion]]).

* [[Comic Book Time]]: The comics have been going on for a decade. May's aged maybe two years. It's also supposed to be an Alternate PRESENT, actually. [[Word of God]] is that originally the writers wanted to play with this being a genuine possible ''future'' of Earth-616, but the target audience meant that pop-culture references would need to be kept contemporary.

* [[Distaff Counterpart]]

* [[Fan Nickname]]: MC2 is short for "Marvel Comics 2".

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Played straight in that almost all of the MC2 heroes are following in their parent's or mentor's footsteps (and costume choices). Averted in that most of them have different personalities and motivations.

* [[Happily Married]]

* [[Cycle of Revenge]]: Doom and Namor are stuck in one for {{spoiler|destroying Alantis and Latveria, respectively}}.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Darkdevil. Kaine, too, once he [[Heel Face Turn|mellows out]].

* [[Divide and Conquer]]: {{spoiler|Loki's}} plan in Last Hero Standing.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: J2, Thunderstrike

* [[Jossed]]: At least two Fanon theories.

** American Dream's a fangirl, not Cap's kid.

* [[Last Girl Wins]]: {{spoiler|Thena}} in Avengers Next, beating out [[Good Bad Girl|Bluestreak]], [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Talia]] and [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Montana]] for J2/Zane.

* [[Married to The Job]]: American Dream

* [[Missing Mom]]: Darkdevil, Franklin Richards (for a while)

* [[Morality Chain]]: Big Man to his sister Red Queen. Once he turns himself in and joins the Thunderbolts, she abandons all pretext of retribution and becomes a straight-up villain.

* [[Omniscient Morality License]]: Doctor Strange rounds up a [[Shell Shocked Senior|bitter old Namor]] and forces Bruce to turn back into the Hulk... because they have to kill this lady before she accidentally destroys the world. Except not really, it was all a [[Secret Test of Character]] for his son and the Avengers. Ah, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

* [[Pop Cultured Badass]]: Doc Magus. He [[Ascended Fanboy|collects comic books]] and is a Star Wars fan.

* [[Transformation Comic]]: J2

* [[Unwilling Roboticisation]]: Tony Stark's mysterious bodyguard, also known as {{spoiler|Jim Rhodes}}.
