* AssholeVictim: While plenty of ire was thrown Coulson's way for letting his thirst for vengeance control him - [[HeelRealization including from]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone himself]] - the truth is ''no one'' mourned Ward after all of the monstrous things he's done. Not ''one'' of his former friends and teammates grieved even a little, not Malick or anyone from HYDRA, and ''definitely'' not his younger brother. That said, his death ended up being a ''gigantic'' NiceJobBreakingItHero for Coulson, as Ward's body is what allowed Hive to cross over from Maveth to Earth.

* BrokenAce: Grant Ward is cited as one of the best agents ever produced by S.H.I.E.L.D./HYRDA, being considered a top-notch combatant and a spy on par with [[ComicBook/BlackWidow Natasha Romanoff]]. However, his horrific upbringing has left him severely antisocial and unable to properly work with people.
* BrokenPedestal: No-one takes the news that he's been EvilAllAlong particularly well, but the biggest and worst reactions come from Skye (for whom he was a mentor and LoveInterest) and Fitz (who viewed him as the hero he'd like to be himself).

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AxCrazy: He already suffered from an AmbiguousDisorder along with traces of self-delusion. After he accidentally kills Kara, he becomes more noticeably unhinged. It really says a lot that becoming possessed by Hive was the best thing that could have happened to him.

A virtual recreation of the real-world person of the same name inside the Framework. A HYDRA agent tasked with finding and capturing Inhumans, he became a double agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. after discovering that his partner and girlfriend Skye was a latent Inhuman.

* AdaptationalHeroism: This version of Ward is far nobler than his real world counterpart, fighting against the HYDRA regime, apologizing for the mistakes of his real-world counterpart and showing genuine concern for Daisy/Skye instead of creepy obsession.
* DatingCatwoman: After learning that Framework Skye has Inhuman DNA, Ward defected to Resistance. But Framework Skye remains a genuine HYDRA agent, although he had a plan to take her into Resistance's custody to protect her before Daisy hijacked her body.

* InSpiteOfANail: No matter what universe it is, it seems that Ward is just destined to be TheMole, even if he's one for the good guys.
* KilledOffscreen: The audience doesn't see him getting deleted along with the rest of the Framework.
* NiceGuy: An almost hilarious far-cry from his real-life counterpart, this Ward is honest, kind and genuine in everything he says and does. He goes out of his way to try atone for sins that technically were never his to begin with.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He figures out that there was bad blood between his counterpart and Simmons and offers a sincere apology for whatever the other Ward had done, much to her surprise, given that the real Ward would '''never''' have apologized for anything he had done [[NeverMyFault as he was incapable of seeing himself as possibly being in the wrong]].
* TheMole: He's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mole within HYDRA and provides things like fake I.Ds that, because of his insider access, technically aren't "fake".
