''[[Secret Warriors]]'' is a 2009-2011 comic book series starring Nick Fury, [[Badass Normal|Agent of Nothing]]. The premise: Take the world's longest-operating clandestine agent with a legendary career in the world's police agency. Turn his world completely upside down. Add superpowered teenagers and shake well.
Although it was started by [[Brian Bendis]], Jonathan Hickman now writes Secret Warriors. Its starting premise {{spoiler|(that HYDRA had control of SHIELD)}} has yet to be reconciled with Hickman's other book [[SHIELD]] (although {{spoiler|references to "the Spear" in both suggest that a reconciliation is coming}}.)

{{tropelist}}
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: Yo-yo after the Gorgon cuts off her hands.
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]: the first mission of Howling Commandos PMC under Fury is to steal these back.
Line 17 ⟶ 19:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Yo-yo for Jerry. Hurt her and he will absolutely ruin your day.
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: Fury's attitude prior to the Howling Commandos mission to the Dock, which would put former comrades in the line of fire.
* [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode]]: In the Secret Warriors ''Siege'' crossover Alex/Phobos blames the President for his father's (Ares) murder by The Sentry and proceeds to Washignton to kill him. Although the President is unharmed Phobos, a child for whom Nick Fury is responsible, kills numerous Secret Service agents. No one ever mentions this again and there don't seem to be any consequences.
* [[Body Double]] and [[Robot Me]]: When JT and Alex discover Nick's Life Model Decoys, leading to some...[[Screw Yourself|implications]]
* [[Call to Adventure]]: Function performed by either Daisy or Fury.
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: {{spoiler|Viper}} likely [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]] despite being dead for only a few hours.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Baron von Strucker and Nick Fury.
* [[The Chosen Many]]: Daisy's sqaud isn't the only one working for Fury. Since this is [[Properly Paranoid|NickFury]] we're talking about, we only meet the leaders of the other two squads.
Line 40 ⟶ 42:
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Gorgon. Although this is probably a [[Power Limiter]]
* [[The Lancer]]: Daisy "Quake" Johnson.
* [[Legacy Character]]: All the caterpillars are the children of villains or former villains. Daisy is the daughter [[Complete Monster]] Dr Hyde, Yo-Yo is the daughter of the Griffen, Stonewall is the son of {{spoiler|Absorbing Man}}, Phobos is the son of Ares, Druid is the son of Dr Druid. The ones that aren't related directly are connected to other characters, J.T to [[Ghost Rider (Comic Book)|Ghost Rider]], Eden Fesi to the mutant Gateway.
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: Nick towards Daisy and presumably everyone else.
* [[Living Lie Detector]]: the Howling Commandos and HYDRA employ psychics
Line 52 ⟶ 54:
* [[Physical God]]: The adolescent son of Ares, Phobos.
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Eden Fesi, J.T and Druid each fill this role.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: JT Slade aka Hellfire.
* [[Private Military Contractors]]: Dugan's 3000 strong Howling Commandos outfit, before Nick brought them back into the fold.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Sebastian is kicked off the team by Nick for incompetence.
* [[Redshirt Army]]: HYDRA
** {{spoiler|Dugan's Howling Commandos are eventually completely wiped out}}
* [[Reincarnation]]: Alex and Ares, because a mortal lifetime is not long enough to raise a god.
* [[Repetitive Name]]: J.T.'s full name is James Taylor James.
* [[Sealed Army in Aa Can]]: {{spoiler|The reason why (all) 100,000 members of Leviathan disappeared overnight}}
* [[Sealed Orders]]: Daisy's team disperses this way in issue 13.
* [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]: used when Dark Avengers get inside a Fury base.
Line 66 ⟶ 68:
* [[Spy From Weights and Measures]]: The first issue shows HYDRA's command structure. It kind of ruined Nick's day...
* [[The Spymaster]]: Obviously
* [[Spy -Versus -Spy]]: HYDRA, HAMMER, Fury's group, and now Leviathan
* [[State Sec]]: Leviathan seems to have been this for Russia at one point.
* [[Super Speed]]: Yo-yo Rodriguez and the Gorgon. But the Gorgon is just a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cut above her]]
Line 75 ⟶ 77:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|Viper has this as a near death experience/flashback before she's resurrected}}
* [[The War Room]]: Multiple, as Fury has numerous private bases around the world.
* [[Was It All a Lie?]]: {{spoiler|issue 15, Nick has this with Valentina in the [[Mexican Standoff|restaurant]], reflecting that in the past he would have tried to kill her}}
* [[Worf Effect]]: JT gets knocked out in nearly every fight, it's just about a running gag.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Since SHIELD is revealed to have been an intelligence arm of HYDRA, Nick's entire career becomes this.
