Runaways (comics)/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{spoiler|Near the conclusion of the first story-arc she begins to develop romantic feelings for Chase, who reciprocates, and they become a couple for the remainder of their time together. She is self-conscious about her appearance, being shorter than average and slightly over-weight, but how this is portrayed [[Depending On the Artist|varies by the artist]]. It is revealed that, in the future, Gertrude will become a super-hero named "Heroine," and will become leader of [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]] until she is killed by Victorious (see "Victor" below). However, due to the actions of her future self [[Timey-Wimey Ball|the timeline has been changed]], and Gertrude instead died while still a young runaway. Dying in Chase's arms, she transferred telepathic control of Old Lace to him.}}

* [[Hollywood Pudgy]] [[Depending On the Artist|when drawn by anyone other than Adrian Alphona]].

* [[The Kid With the Remote Control]]

* [[The Heart]] - Chase definitely thinks of her in this role, pointing out how everyone was that much worse to each other when she was temporarily [[Put On a Bus]].

* [[Tomato in The Mirror]]

* {{spoiler|[[How Dare You Die On Me!]] - He goes kind of crazy after Gert's death. At his lowest, he considers sacrificing an innocent stranger to the Gibborim in order to bring her back. When he realizes that he doesn't have it in him, he tries to sacrifice himself instead.}}

* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]

* {{spoiler|[[The Kid With the Remote Control]] (after Gert's death)}}

* [[Playing With Fire]] - The Fistigons, gauntlets stolen from his parents' lab. They're destroyed {{spoiler|when Alex tries to use them against the team}}, but he finds some more of his parents' tech in Volume 3.

* [[Anime Hair]]: [[Depending On the Artist]], this can range from mild to completely ridiculous.

* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]] - By far the hardest to get along with but always places everyone else's needs above his/her own.

* [[In Love With Your Carnage]] - He admires the Kingpin of all people for keeping New York on a tight leash, despite being a [[Badass Normal]] in a city full of superheroes.

** [[Playing With Fire]]

* [[Villain With Good Publicity]]: All of them.

** [[Time Travel for Fun And Profit]]: They steal valuables and then sell them in other times.

* [[Cursed With Awesome]]: Applies to nearly all mutants in the [[Marvel Universe]].

'''[[Cloak and Dagger (Comic Book)|Cloak and Dagger]]'''

A pair of superheroes who gained their powers after being forcibly given drugs. Like the main characters, they were once teenage runaways and avoid the [[Adults Are Useless]] theme that pervades the series. Cloak has a mystical [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|cloak]] that allows him to draw others into a hellish dark dimension. He can also teleport himself and others through the dark dimension and become intangible. He has a hunger for light that he gets either from Dagger or from the people he absorbs. Dagger has the power to generate blades of light that can, according to Nico, show you your sins. Cloak and Dagger are enlisted by Lt. Flores, a Pride agent in the NYPD, to find his bosses' children. {{spoiler|Realizing who the Runaways' parents are, Cloak and Dagger promise to bring the Avengers to LA, but are captured by the Pride and have their memories telepathically wiped.}}

Later on, Cloak is accused of trying to kill his partner Dagger. {{spoiler|While being pursued by the Avengers, Cloak is hit on the head and regains his memory}}. He seeks out the Runaways and asks them to investigate the attack on Dagger, claiming that he was framed. Dagger's attacker turns out to have been {{spoiler|a [[Stalker With a Crush]] who used [[Applied Phlebotinum|Mutant Growth Hormone combined with the drug that gave Cloak his powers]] to impersonate him.}}
