Line 223 ⟶ 222:
* [[Brainwashing for the Greater Good]]: Magneto a few times.
* [[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu]]: Iron Man actually believed he could put Thor down by himself. [[Curb Stomp Battle|He was very wrong]].
* [[Chaos Entity]]:
** Entropy is the son of Eternity and represents the Marvel Universe's entropy with powers stronger than his father, Eternity. His goal is to kill Eternity and end all of creation.
** Lord Chaos is a being that personifies the concept of chaos through the universe and clashes with his opposite, Lord Order.
** The In-Betweener is the embodiment of dualistic concepts such as order and chaos. He was created by Master Order and Lord Chaos and used his powers to resolve balances. He is compared to Galactus as his opposite, as he is a union of Eternity and Death; Galactus is the absence of both.
* [[City of Adventure]]: Makes you wonder just how New York City hasn't gotten wiped out yet.
* [[Collectible Cloney Babies]]:
* [[Comic Book Time]]: When he revealed himself during ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]'', Peter Parker stated that he had been acting as Spider-Man since he was 15. Same goes for the first X-Men team, who started in heroics in their teens (sans Beast), and now almost 50 years later (in real time), they still seem to be 30-somethings.▼
** The Collector is named thusly because he collects strange artifacts and life forms. He attempts to "collect" all of the Avengers in the Silver Age, starting with Wasp, because they are one-of-a-kind. The Avengers weren't having it, and defeated him at least three times.
** Kamala Khan's younger brother loves action figures. Another villain, an adult, takes interest in these kiddie toys and gets an idea. She had to track one down when it turned out to be part of an evil plot, and return it to him as a normal toy.

* [[Conqueror From the Future]] "Kang the Conqueror" is quite likely the [[Ur Example]].
* [[Crapsack World]]: Few comic book universes make life harder on its heroes than the Marvel Universe. At different times, either the public hates them, the government actively tries to kill mutants, the media paints them as evil, or laws have been passed making most of them wanted fugitives.
Line 245 ⟶ 251:
* [[Healing Factor]]: A very common ability once you get to the bigger tiers. Wolverine, Deadpool and Hulk are the three most popular examples.
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: X-Men comics are the clearest example, but this trope shows up in other series as well.
* [[Humans Are Their Own Precursors]]: The Eternals are proto-humans genetically experimented on by the Celestials a million years ago. They have been living among us ever since, wielding superhuman powers and superior technology, with some taking up the [[God Guise]].
* [[I Love Nuclear Power]]: Every Hulk powered by gamma radiation and Hulk's nemesis Abomination. Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider, which gave him the abilities of Spider-Man.
* [[Immortality]]: Marvel has at least one character who embodies each type.
