Line 32:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Meanwhile, even Baron Zemo himself discovered some heroic tendencies from his time on the team.
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Jolt is an Ascended Fangirl.
* [[Back
* [[Badass Normal]]: Citizen V
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Songbird
Line 38:
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Kind of the point of the original series.
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: ''Graviton'' -- a supervillain who is to gravity what Magneto is to magnetism, held back mostly by his personal inadequacies. Became a recurring opponent to the team, mostly because of Moonstone repeately manipulating him -- only for the attempts to backfire.
:He later becomes a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] villain for [[Iron Man]] and [[Took a Level
* [[Badass Decay]]? He takes out the entire team, with outside reinforcements, ''twice''. They never won a clean fight against Graviton.
* [[Black Like Me]]: Abe (MACH-1) Jenkins was technologically disguised as a black man to cover up the fact he'd been released from prison around the time he upgraded to MACH-'''2'''.
Line 50:
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Atlas has one of these.
* [[Deader Than Dead]]: Zemo atomized Photon and scattered him across space and time, claiming that he was like this. [[Word of God|Fabian Nicieza]] confirmed that Zemo is merely [[Genre Blind]], because [[Death Is Cheap|Photon will return as soon as Marvel feels like using him again]].
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Blizzard, who spent so much time whining about his suit's freon supply that he was ineffective. He eventually [[Took a Level
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Charcoal
* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: The vast base within Mount Charteris.
Line 56:
* [[Evil Plan]]: The first reason for suspicion whenever Baron Zemo comes up with a new plan to "save the world" is that every one looks exactly like a villainous plot to ''take over'' the world. At least Zemo has stylistic consistency.
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]
{{quote|'''Moonstone:''' [[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?|What does "Growing Man" do]]?
'''Jolt:''' [[Eureka Moment|He GROWS]]! }}
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Humorously, this was both the reason that Genis-Vell (Captain Marvel/Photon) was added to the team ''and'' the reason he was killed off.
Line 112:
* [[Think Nothing of It]]: Spidey and MACH-1
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Moonstone. While the rest of the teammates who betray Zemo do so as part of their [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turns]], Dr. Sofen does so for her own agenda. Though she occasionally flirts with becoming a better person, she never really stops being a manipulative schemer.
* [[Two Aliases, One Character]]: Just about the entire team.
* [[Unreliable Voiceover]]: The first Annual, in which Citizen V tells Jolt about how he brought the team together, without mentioning the parts about them all being supervillains.
* [[Warrior Therapist]]: Moonstone
Line 126:
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: American Eagle and Shadow-woman(Sepulchre).
* [[Badass]]: While most of the team fit this trope, a special mention goes to Jason Strongbow, AKA American Eagle. He impales Moonstone's arm with his Grapple Gun, fights Venom to a standstill, escapes without a scratch from the entire team, then proceeds to beat the crap out of frickin' ''Bullseye'' without breaking a sweat!
{{quote|'''Strongbow: '''You might do okay with those New York city boys. But you and me are in Phoenix, Arizona. [[Badass Boast|So you take a swing at a real American and see what happens]].
'''Bullseye: '''You done?
'''Strongbow: '''Not till I'm paddling in your blood, little boy. C'mon, first shot's free.
'''Bullseye: '''First shot's all I need.
''Bullseye goes in for said first shot, Strongbow ducks, then beats the hell out of him until he's vomiting [[Blood From the Mouth]].''
'''Bullseye (weakly): '''What happened to the first shot?
'''Strongbow: '''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|I lied]]. }}
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: The head shaving of Swordsman marked [[Took a Level
* [[Batman Gambit]]: The telepaths letting themselves get captured to get inside Thunderbolt Mountain.
* [[Boxed Crook]]: The more blatantly psychopathic members, like Bullseye, were kept under control this way.
Line 156:
* [[The Starscream]]: Both Moonstone and Songbird qualify. Moonstone secretly switched [[Norman Osborn]]'s meds (and he's dangerously psychotic while on them), while Songbird tricks Bullseye into an escape attempt that leaves him paralyzed and later blackmails her way into Moonstone's leadership position.
* [[To Catch Heroes Hire Villains]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: [http://i.imgur.com/2TPrw.jpg "Steel Spider, man."]
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: Norman Osborn
Line 207:
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Eric O'Grady, who, just to remind you, is ''The Irredeemable Ant-Man'', fulfilled the Headsman's desire to go back to Louisiana and show his brother what he became, extolling Cleavon's virtues all the while.
* [[Retirony]]: {{spoiler|Headsman}} - While he isn't literally a day from retirement, in the issues leading up to his death we start to sympathize with his character a lot more as more details on his background are revealed.
* [[Sunglasses
