History Characters / MarvelVsCapcom3MarvelCharacters

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: His DLC costume gives him his Director of SHIELD outfit.

%%* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: His ending.

* CounterAttack: His Level 3 Hyper starts with him doing a SexyWalk (complete with [[HeartSymbol heart-shaped bubbles]] and [[WesternAnimation/BettyBoop "Boop boop bee doop!"]]), and if the opponent attacks him, he'll stun them before beating them with his lifebar and Hyper Combo gauge.

* SexyWalk: During the start of his Level 3 Hyper, he does a comical "sexy" pose before strolling forward. Attacking him while he does this launches the attack proper.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Captain America's iconic shield is obviously his WeaponOfChoice and used extensively in his entire moveset.

* ShesGotLegs: Nice, long muscular green ones, as shown off by her LeotardOfPower, and even her DLC formal wear.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: If his "Happy-Happy Trigger" hyper is done in midair, he'll spin while firing diagonally downward.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: His Skrull Torch hyper involves him being WreathedInFlames and then spinning wildly forward like a torpedo, which is somewhat similar to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII M. Bison]]'s Psycho Crusher (especially its super variant). However, Skrull Torch can actually be controlled.

Due to actually possessing sufficient power and knowledge to potentially pull it off, Dormammu is considered to be "[[UpToEleven something worse than a demon]]", and is the archenemy of the hero Doctor Strange, who constantly somehow manages to thwart the entity's chilling mad ambitions.

* UpToEleven: Invoked. Hulk knows he is strong, but upon defeating Phoenix, he begins to wonder how much stronger he would be if he had access to the Phoenix Force.

* ChestBlaster: The Unibeam fires a blast of concentrated energy from the pentagon in his chest. Iron Avenger (his Level 3 hyper) is [[UpToEleven an even stronger version]] that deals a good 50 hits worth of damage.

* FingerGun: A shot from one of his fingers equals 30 hits. Taken UpToEleven when he uses all of his left fingers to [[BeamSpam fire multiple lasers]].

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: You only need to look at him to guess that he isn't gonna play like a standard fighter. M.O.D.O.K. is an extreme zoner with barely any close-ranged attacks. He is incapable of jumping normally (outside of super-jumping to reach launched opponents). Pressing "up" will put him in a permanent flight state, which gives him good aerial mobility. His Analyze Cube ability allows him to level-up his Psionic Blaster attacks with every hit.

* OriginalCharacter: In a loose sense. The playable Sentinel seen in the ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' series is a unique variant called the COTA-94 model (a reference to its video game debut, ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom'') and has a large range of hidden weaponry and transforming abilities that ordinary Sentinels aren't capable of. COTA-94 is also [[NotDrawnToScale significantly smaller than most Sentinels]], which are typically around the size of a large building. Some standard-issue Sentinels can be seen in the background of the Days of Future Past stage for comparison.

* AffablyEvil: Capom often interpret him this way in spite of his usual characterisation in the comics. After his debut in the series, in which his ending was [[MultiversalConqueror fitting of his status]], almost all of Shuma Gorath's subsequent endings consists of him doing something not-evil to outright good; and in this instalment things were no different, with him [[RefugeInAudacity becoming a Japanese game show host]].

--> You know, you look kind of like [[ComicBook/{{Mephisto}} the guy]] who [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay ruined my marriage]].]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green hair, because the gamma radiation in Bruce's blood affected their cells too.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: He can teleport thanks to his special belt, but the belt will malfunction and the move will backfire on every third attempt, causing an explosion that damages the opponent and Deadpool himself.

%%* FingerlessGloves

* SmugSuper: Even with only one eye and no other facial features, you can tell he's a smug bastard. He's the only character who seems to go out of his way to strike poses after he attacks, whether this be his BadassArmFold or his [[FanNickname B-Boy stance]].

* NotSoDifferent: To Akuma, as they both are in the process of succumbing to a destructive force.
--> (''To Akuma'') We're more alike than I'd like to admit.

* NotSoDifferent: If she wins against Chun-Li, She-Hulk realizes that the two have a lot in common, being strong and confident female warriors.

* {{Magitek}}: Despite his moveset being largely based on his various gadgets, Dr. Doom is a proficient magic user. This leads him to develop a minor rivalry with Dr. Strange, as the two bicker about who is the better magician during their winquote dialogues.

* PoweredArmor: The poster boy of this trope, clad in a suit of powerful high-tech armor that he designed himself to escape captivity from terrorists. The armor in this game is designed after the Etremis suit from the comics.

* AscendedExtra: Shuma-Gorath is perhaps the most obscure character Capcom have ever adapted to the series, as he only made a small handful of appearances in ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'' issues. Nevertheless, Capcom seem to have grown very attached to the character as he has appeared in a whopping five instalments of the ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' series. Their strange love for Shuma is such that Capcom actually rebelled against Marvel as they insisted on including him in ''[=MVC3=]'' even though Marvel were against it, until Marvel conceded by allowing him to be DLC.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: The earliest trailers implied that he would be the final boss or at least a major antagonist. Galactus ended up taking the role of final boss, with Dormammu being one of his four Heralds.

%%* AccidentalHero: In his ending.
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Quite a drastic one. In the comics, Shuma-Gorath is a KnightOfCerebus whose presence in a story usually indicates that ''shit is really going down''. He's a godlike EldritchAbomination who only cares about spreading chaos and destruction throughout the cosmos, and there's certainly nothing lighthearted about him. Capcom's ''Versus'' series gives him a comedic characterisation and his threat level is considerably reduced, since his canonical power would dwarf every FinalBoss in the series.

* AffablyEvil: It seems that's the general opinion Capcom has of him and implements it in the games, after his debut in the series, in which his ending was [[MultiversalConqueror fitting of his status]], almost all of Shuma Gorath's subsequent endings consists of him doing something not evil to outright good; and in this installment things were no different, with him [[RefugeInAudacity becoming a Japanese game show host]].

%%* {{Oculothorax}}

%%* IneffectualLoner: All Hulk wants is to be left alone in peace. Unfortunately, nobody will ever just leave him be, and so Hulk Smash.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Michael T. Weiss

* TeleportCloak: His teleport move, Mass Change, has him wrap himself on his cloak and reappear somewhere else.

%%* FlashStep

%%* OneWomanWail: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKdxCFxKkYM Her theme.]]

%%* {{Stripperific}}

* TheBerserker: If it wasn't apparent by the fact that 90% of his move list starts with the word "BERSERKER", looking at his idle pose for one second is all it takes for anyone unfamiliar with Logan to realize he is a [[PintSizePowerHouse small man]] brimming with enough rage to make even hulk seem irritated at best

PintSizePowerHouse: Wolverine only stands at 5'3, which is incredibly short even for a woman with his ethnicity. Make no mistake though; He may only reach chest level of most of the cast but he will tear you apart with ease.

%%* {{Shoryuken}}: His Tornado Claw.

%%* SuperMode: Berserker Charge.

* WolverinePublicity: He ''is'' the TropeNamer and it applies here as much as anywhere as Wolverine is the only Marvel representative to appear in ''every'' Capcom-produced Marvel fighting game. (sans ''Infinite'', [[OvershadowedByControversy a fact that caused much outcry on its own]]) dating all the way back to ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom''. He is essentially to the series what Ryu is to the Capcom cast (although he doesn't have a second version of himself in this game with a different moveset like he did in ''2''). One of his new win quotes in ''Ultimate'' even acknowledges his status as such:

* BareYourMidriff: She only wears a tank top that exposes her midriff for her upper body.

%%* FlashStep

* ShadowArchetype: Of Wolverine. She admitted herself as the second best there is at what she does and sought to be the #1.

* TheHeart: It's subtle, but it's still there. The cinematic movies of the game begin [[LetsYouAndHimFight with Marvel characters fighting against Capcom ones]] (along with unexpected alliances like [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Chris Redfield]] saving [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]], for example). Cap is the first hero to actually protect guys from other universe - thus switching the battle to a good guys vs bad guys mode.

* BitingTheHandHumor: InUniverse: in his intro against [[BigRedDevil Firebrand]], Spider-Man asks if the demon has any relation to his boss, J. Jonah Jameson. He also asks Ghost Rider if he'd be interested in harvesting JJJ's soul.
** Also a more traditional version: when defeating Firebrand, he has this to say:

* ComesGreatResponsibility: ''[[TropeNamer Obviously]]'':

* TheRival: To Taskmaster. There's an achievement for winning an online match for beating the latter with Spidey (or the other way around).
** UnknownRival: Spidey apparently has no idea who Tasky is in their intro conversation.
