Line 26:
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Bruce Banner. He thought he could control the Hulk, but he was wrong.
* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]]: Partially averted with Captain America. While they ''did'' have the formula on file, inept record keepers didn't properly document it.
* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: Given that pretty much all the heroes in the Ultimates comic book [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]], they're considerably [[Lighter and Softer]] here. Mark Millar's controversial, less heroic re-imaginations of the characters were replaced with more traditional ones. Hank Pym is still the group [[Jerkass]], but that was a step up from the unstable wife beater he was in the comic. Thor and Captain America's political views are far less extreme (in fact, they barely come up at all). In a nutshell, it takes the contemporary setting and origins from the Ultimates, but uses the character personalities of 616.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: Hank Pym's death seems to play with this trope. He didn't really do anything evil beforehand, but he had been a major [[Jerkass]], especially to Janet. And it seems his sacrifice was in part to show her that he could be the man she wanted him to be.
* [[Rock Beats Laser]]: In the second one, Iron Man's missile launcher is destroyed by a Wakanda warrior's spear and his armor is wrecked by a swinging log. For the record, Wakandan warriors wield vibranium weapons - and vibranium beats non-vibranium every time.
