'''''Hank Pym:''' "Everything you do is to clean up a mess '''you''' made!"'' }}

 

The super hero identity of Tony Stark. As with other incarnations, Stark is a former weapons manufacturer who became a superhero after a crippling incident that both damaged his heart and led to his becoming "The Invincible Iron Man." After the break out at the various super-villain prisons, he urges the collected heroes to join forces as [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]], providing them with their headquarters as well as leading the team itself.

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[The Casanova]]: No surprise, though it doesn't get implied that heavily until season 2.

* [[Dating Catwoman]]: "Alone Against AIM" ends with Tony asking Maria Hill if their conflicting beliefs about superhero registration ruin their chances of going out for dinner together.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Face of a Thug]]: For one of the least jerkish Tony Starks in canon, he's a remarkably sinister-looking guy.

* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: Not only does Iron Man wear red and gold armor, but Tony's civilian outfit includes a red shirt. He also has a red bathrobe.

* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]]: Averted. Tony has several versions of his [[Powered Armor]] in storage, which he can remotely activate if his suit becomes too damaged.

* [[Powered Armor]]

* [[The Atoner]]: Like his movie counterpart, Tony wants to make up for his past actions as a weapons manufacturer. However, his [[Not Good with People|lack of people skills]] sometimes gets in the way.

* [[The Smart Guy]]

* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Tony's pretty big on stating that weapons never solve anything, but what does he call that suit of armor he's wearing? But then, it's tradition for him to act as if he's above it all.

** He was also the one that modified Ant-Man's design and filled Ultron with guns. Ant-Man had only put in a couple of security measures, not a whole arsenal.

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Captain America criticizes him for typically either tackling things or blasting them.

[[File:Thor_EMH_5009.png|frame]]

 

 

The Norse god of Thunder. Thor has grown tired of the endless wars of Asgard, and believes that by acting as a hero on Earth, he can make more of a difference. This creates a conflict, in that his fellow gods desire for him to return to Asgard so that he may help defend it whilst their father, Odin, sleeps to replenish his powers.

A scientist who developed both the ability to shrink or grow larger, as well as communicate with insects, Hank Pym has also developed numerous advances in a variety of fields. He's just as interested in rehabilitating the villains the Avengers battle as he is in stopping them, believing that many of their enemies are sick people in need of help.

** Now, in the second season, Hank seems to have become prone to emotional breakdowns.

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: He has to be almost dying to even come close to telling Janet how he feels. {{spoiler|He passes out before he tell her}}.

*** {{spoiler|He finally does spit it out, but only when Janet is unconscious.}}

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

** Displayed further {{spoiler|with his Yellowjacket persona, wherein he makes it appear that he is killing villains but is actually teleporting them to a miniature prison he built himself}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Take A Level In Jerkass]]: In his Yellowjacket persona}}

* [[Vocal Evolution]]: His voice is notably more deeper and reserved in Season 2.

 

== Wasp ==

[[File:Wasp_EMH_4199.png|frame]]

 

 

Hank Pym's girlfriend and financial benefactor. She also has powers, and unlike Hank, believes that she and Hank can both make a difference as superheroes, which prompts her to take up arms and join the fight when super-villains come calling.

 

Member since: "Breakout, Part 2" }}

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Adaptational Badass]]

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[The Chick]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Fan Service]]: Her shredded uniform in "Gamma World"

* [[Genki Girl]]: And then some. Due to the way she's portrayed, there seems to be more emphasis on the "girl" part, even if she is supposed to be about the same age as the rest of them.

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Do not mess with her man, she will fly up inside your {{spoiler|Kree Sentry Robot}} and start tearing stuff up.

* [[Jumped At the Call]]

* [[Kid Appeal Character]]

* [[Sizeshifter]]: {{spoiler|As showen in Ultron-5, she can go big as well as play the [[Incredible Shrinking Man|Incredible Shrinking Girl]] but the former takes a lot out of her.}}

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Until the second season (which saw Ms. Marvel joining the team), she was the sole female member of the Avengers proper.

** Carol Danvers calls her out on it and she gets better and apologizes by the end. So the level in jerkass only lasted one episode. She makes peace with Mar-Vell before he leaves.

** There was also the "destroy humanity to be on the safe side" thing that the Kree high command had going.

 

== Hulk ==

 

[[File:Hulk_EMH_4084.png|frame]]

 

'''''Banner:''' "If you help, it'll help us. If you stand by other heroes... if you save lives, people will begin to see that the Hulk isn't a monster. That you can be a force for good!"'' }}

 

'''''Banner:''' "That's only true if you let it be. Walk away now, and it will be."'' }}

 

Mutated by exposure to Gamma Radiation, Bruce Banner developed an alternate personality that manifested as the rampaging monster known as The Hulk. However, Banner and Hulk have made peace with one another, and are set on proving their worth to the world while also seeking to undo the damage done by other beings harmed by gamma radiation.

* [[The Big Guy]]: A role shared with Thor.

* [[Blood Knight]]: The Hulk loves to fight.

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: His fights with the Thing could be seen as this.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Hulking Out]]

* [[Hulk Speak]]: For the first time in a while, averted. Though he uses this at times, the Hulk is capable of speaking in full sentences most of the time.

** Consider how he also stands up for Hawkeye when the rest of the team is going paranoid and threatening to beat Hawkeye to a pulp.

* [[The Lancer]]

* [[One-Man Army]]

* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Whenever the Hulk smiles in the midst of battle, any goons nearby would be wise to flee all the faster.

* [[Split Personality Takeover]]: A rare consensual one; Hulk and Banner make a deal that Hulk works to be a hero if he gets to stay as Hulk all the time, although Banner gets to come out once a month.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]

 

== Captain America ==

 

[[File:Captain_America_EMH_2634.png|frame]]

 

 

Originally a frail, sickly young man, Steve Rogers was selected to become the first recipient of Abraham Erskine's super soldier formula. Forever transformed, he became the legendary Captain America, hero of [[World War II]]. Thought killed in battle with the Red Skull, Steve was actually frozen in ice, until he was discovered and revived by the Avengers. Now, he fights to avenge wrongs in the modern day.

{{spoiler|After the Avengers overthrew Loki, Steve was kidnapped and replaced with a Skrull agent. After spending months as the Skrulls' prisoner, he leads an attack on the Skrulls, then tries to restore hope and earn back the trust of the people of Earth, after what his impostor did.}}

 

Member since: "Living Legend" }}

 

* [[Deadly Disc]]: His shield can slice a [[Giant Mecha]] in half.

* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Made one with Hela to stop Loki; how it plays out will remain to be seen (even after he beats Loki her reflection on his shield shows it will still haunt him)

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* {{spoiler|[[Hero with Bad Publicity]]}}: {{spoiler|The Skrull's deeds cause the public to lose appreciation of Steve.}}

[[File:Black_Panther_EMH_8397.png|frame]]

 

 

As the prince of Wakanda, T'Challa found himself exiled from his home when his father was killed by a conspiracy involving Klaw and M'Baku, the Man-Ape. He sought the help of the Avengers, manipulating them into helping him return to his homeland, where he defeated M'Baku and regained his throne. However, rather than rule himself, he opted to change his country for the better, turning control over to a council, while he joined the Avengers in order to gain their trust and become a better leader for his people.

 

Member since: "Panther's Quest" }}

 

* [[Animal Motifs]]: [[Captain Obvious|The panther.]]

* [[Badass Abnormal]]: He is technically superhuman, but in the lower tiers in terms of his powers, so to speak.

* [[Badass Cape]]: Donned after he returns to his Wakandan throne, and starts helping the people prepare to face the Skrulls.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: T'Challa is as smart as Tony, but more open minded about things such as magic, and can even understand it. Not to mention being roughly as good a fighter as Captain America.

* [[Green Lantern Ring]]: He wields a weapon (presumably of vibranium) that can be reshaped into a variety of constructs.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: He at first uses the Avengers only as a distraction, and doesn't come to regret it until Cap helps him in his fight with M'Baku.

* [[Ninja]]: Well, sorta.

* [[Token Black]]: So far, the only black hero on the team.

* [[The Quiet One]]

* [[Troll]]: T'Challa ''loves'' messing with Hawkeye.

* {{spoiler|[[We Used to Be Friends]]}}: {{spoiler|Following the revelation that a Skrull has infiltrated the Avengers, and might have replaced Hawkeye, Panther takes longer than the others to renew his trust in the team. Even after Ms. Marvel, Wasp, and Hawkeye help fend off Wakanda from Skrulls, even after Queen Veranke gets arrested, Panther insists that he would rather stay on his Wakandan throne than work again with potentially dishonest crimefighters. He doesn't come back until the group stops Vision from stealing Vibranium.}}

Member since: "Gamma World, Part 2" }}

 

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: He starts out on the run from The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. due to Black Widow framing him as a traitor. This is a [[Shout-Out]] to the character's first appearance in comics where he actually ''was'' a criminal.

* [[Multishot]]

* [[Odd Friendship]]: Somehow, the argumentative Hawkeye ended up becoming fairly close friends with [[The Stoic|Black Panther]].

* [[Revenge Before Reason]] : Clint really wants payback against the Black Widow. Especially clear during the “Widows Sting”. Mockingbird puts it best “You disobeyed your team leader, dragged half your team out here, got a SHIELD agent captured. All to get back at a girl who lied to you. Real professional.” He seems to get better by the end of the episode though.

** In a later episode, he mellows out further. {{spoiler|To the point of giving Black Widow a farewell kiss.}}

** Hawkeye is curiously absent from the roll call of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oRwpy66NXc this trailer].

** Among the five superheroes who became Avengers in both this show and in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]], Hawkeye appears the least frequently in publicity material (including the movie promo that Disney XD airings sometimes swap the theme song for). This presumably relates to the fact he has yet to receive a solo movie.

=== [[Ms. Marvel]]/Major Carol Danvers ===

 

 

A friend of Wasp's who does research for the military. After Philip Lawson, aka [[Captain Mar-Vell]], shields her from a Kree sentry's attack one night, she develops superpowers. She joins the Avengers in the midst of Kree invasions. Carol also works as an agent for SWORD, the division of SHIELD that tackles extraterrestrial threats.

 

Member since: "Welcome to the Kree Empire" }}

 

* [[Woman Scorned]]: After it appears that Mar-Vell let the Kree try to conquer Earth.
