* RetCanon: The new Henry Hayes [[LegacyCharacter version of]] Deathlok is very similar to the show's character Mike Peterson, bordering on {{Expy}} status. Tom Brevoort later confirmed that Hayes was indeed created in response to the show's use of Peterson as Deathlok.

* NinetiesAntiHero: A strange example, as ComicBook/{{Deathlok}} the Demolisher was created well over two decades before the heyday of the trope. Each of the various versions of Deathlok has very 90's Anti-Hero traits to them: he is always a dead man resurrected as a cyborg (cyborgs being common in 90's comics), and turned into an unliving cybernetic weapon that uses huge guns as its primary method of offense. Usually however the plot often involves Deathlok's ''unwillingness'' to succumb to his programming and kill wantonly, instead struggling to non-lethally dispatch his foes.

* {{Expy}}: The 2014 ''Deathlok'' series stars new character Henry Hayes, who is very blatantly modeled after the Mike Peterson version of Deathlok from the ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' TV series. Not surprisingly, the ''ComicBook/AgentsOfSHIELD'' comic book later used Hayes as part of the cast, having him fill a similar role to the one held by Peterson in the TV show. Why Marvel didn't simply have Mike become an outright CanonImmigrant is unknown.

* AbortedArc: His name was listed as a potential recruit for the [[ComicBook/AvengersTheInitiative Initiative]], but he never appeared in that title.
* TheAce: ComicBook/NickFury himself describes Truman as the best manhunter S.H.I.E.L.D.'s got and says that he was "the one guy I never worried about."
* BadassNormal: Fights Cable evenly without any powers, although [[WorfHadTheFlu Cable was sick and missing some of his powers]].
** EmpoweredBadassNormal: The ''Deathlok'' title would later establish Truman as this with the revelation that he learned how to BodySurf in Tibet.
* BigGood: When he was last seen in 2011, Truman was playing this role to the Teen Brigade, a plucky youth team closely associated with Rick Jones and the Avengers.
* BloodKnight: The guy loves a good fight and just basically wants to test his abilities.
* BodySurf: He describes this as his "Tibetan mind-trick". Over the course of the ''Deathlok'' title, he makes good use of it, jumping first into a S.H.I.E.L.D grunt, then into that S.H.I.E.L.D. grunt's young son, then into the Deathlok body that was originally intended for him, and finally into CowboyCop S.H.I.E.L.D agent Larry Young, the latter of which he kept and still inhabits to this day.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He doesn't think much of G.W. Bridge and has questioned the man's leadership ability, even though he's just as bad when it comes to doggedly fixating on Cable.
* ItsPersonal: Like G.W. above, Truman is the very model of an effective S.H.I.E.L.D. agent... until Cable gets involved, at which point he throws professionalism out the window and becomes a tenacious BloodKnight.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Unlike Billy Bailey, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Larry Young was a {{Jerkass}} who earned his bodyjack.
