During ''Secret Wars'', Ewing wrote a two issue mini-series, ''Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders'', which had similar characters and themes. Ewing has since brought ComicBook/BlueMarvel and Monica Rambeau over to the ''[[ComicBook/TheUltimates2015 Ultimates]]'' series, while White Tiger and Power Man reappeared in ''[[ComicBook/NewAvengers2015 New Avengers]]''.

* BreakingSpeech: White Tiger gives an epic one to the Tiger God in #8; When it threatens to devour her soul, she tells it to try, pointing out that her friends wouldn't allow anyone else to wield the Amulets after her. She then mocks it for talking about the days when humanity feared it, and how modern humans hunt, cage and pity its kind. She follows up by stating that the Tiger God is afraid of humanity, and that she is more feared then it is,and finishes by demanding the Tiger God give her all its power. And it ''does so''.
-->'''Ava''': Your time is done. '''I'm''' the beast that hunts in the darkness now. '''I'm''' the monster who even monsters fear. '''I'm the White Tiger'''. You want a deal? This is your deal. Give me everything you have. Now. Or crawl away and die and I'll do it without you.
-->'''Tiger God''': ...Damn you.
* BrickJoke: A very quick one. In issue 4 Falcon complains that everyone assumes he goes everywhere with Captain America. A short conversation later and Power Man appears, and on seeing Falcon asks where Captain America is.
* TheBusCameBack: Dave Griffen, Luke Cage's best friend from his solo series, returns after not showing up in a comic in years.

* ComicBookDeath: The last time The Bear appeared, she was blown up and apparently killed. Since she's [[spoiler:a Were-Bear created by The Four Who Rule,]] she got better.
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Despite the fact that he's supposed to be laying low, Ronin insists on wearing his foul-smelling trenchcoat everywhere.
* ContinuityNod:
** In issue 4, Falcon mentions that Spidey's been stealing food from the other Avengers and spitting in it, as seen over in the concurrent run of ComicBook/TheAvengers.
** Power Man mentions the fight against [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Mother]], and the fact that Monica doesn't know what he's talking about. Later on in the issue, we see him reading texts from Loki, who's in the middle of robbing a casino in his own series.
** Monica Rambeau's time in ComicBook/{{Nextwave}} is acknowledged, but apparently the Beyond Corporation never existed. And yet she still has nightmares about the baby M.O.D.O.K. She also uses the skull-mark expletive from that series. [[spoiler:Then, they find out that the Beyond Corporation ''did'' exist.]]
** While Adam Brashear talks with Ulana, we see several alternate universes from ComicBook/WhatIf, along with [[ComicBook/{{FF}} Scot Lang yelling at Uatu]].
** The reason Spitfire isn't with Blade is because she's keeping an eye on the Black Knight, who according to [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers: World]] is having some issues,
** Watching Avenger Prime and Deathwalker Prime fighting, Luke angrily mutters if what's happening isn't some "[[ComicBook/XMen Dark Phoenix]] [[SymbolSwearing $#!%]]."
* ContinuityPorn: There is a lot of it, Al Ewing knows a lot about Marvel history. He has brought back several characters and locations that hadn't shown up in years. Like the Krask brothers.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Jason Quantrell, head of Cortex Incorporated, is this from the word 'go'.
* DarkerAndEdgier: "Captain America and the Mighty Avengers" compared to the previous volume, dealing with BodyHorror, MindRape, and the end of absolutely all existence. That said, there's still moments of humour, and hope.
* DeathFakedForYou: Apparently Adam Brashear faked his death some time before 1972, for his own reasons.
* {{Determinator}}: Luke Cage. The Deathwalker Prime forces everyone on Earth to submit to its will, and sticks Luke inside an illusion. He still keeps fighting it. For the record, the only other person shown resisting is ''Captain America'', and he's not shown resisting anywhere near as much as Cage.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Spidey's attempt to apologise for what [=SpOck=] did isn't helped by him bringing up threatening to send Danielle into child-care. He even admits he's got no idea why he said it.
* DueToTheDead: Averted, according to Ulana the Watcher, they don't bury their dead, because as far as they're concerned the corpse is another item inhabiting the universe, and to dispose of it would count as interference.
* DynamicEntry: Adam Brashear used to be good at making these.
* EldritchAbomination: The first BigBad the team faces off against is Shuma-Gorath.
** [[spoiler:The Beyond Corporation. All of them.]]
* EvilCripple: After his encounter with Spider-Man (way back in TheEighties), Gideon Mace is confined to a wheelchair.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Several to who Ronin actually is. A big one is when Monica mentions fighting vampires in New Orleans.
* FusionDance: The Four Who Rule merge into one being, controlling the fifth element of the earth, Deathwalker Prime, who controls spirit.
** The Mighty Avengers do this as well to defeat them, becoming "Avenger Prime".
* GoneHorriblyRight: Jason Quantrell got a bunch of mad scientists to build a gateway to another dimension. And they did. Everyone else was killed, and Quantrell... [[FateWorseThanDeath wasn't so lucky]].
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: ''Something'' happened in 1972, involving the Blue Marvel and Luke Cage's father.
** The ComicBook/OriginalSin tie-in investigates what it was that happened. [[spoiler:The Four Who Rule were trying to bring about the end of the world. Blade, Kaluu, Dr. Brashear and Luke Cage's father wound up working together to foil it.]]
* GreenLanternRing: Monica can turn her body into all kinds of energy, [[{{ComicBook/Nextwave}} except the kind they make up on]] Franchise/StarTrek.
* HeelFaceTurn: Because of ''Axis'', The Plunderer and his minions decide to become Robin Hood-esque thieves. It doesn't work out for them.
* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler: Deathwalker Prime traps every person in the world in a nightmarish illusion meant to break their wills. Luke Cage is the only person with the willpower to free himself (with the captions even pointing out that he is "unbreakable"). The only other person who was even able to resist was Steve Rogers, who is seen in a single panel, trying to stand up under the mental onslaught.]]
* HumanSacrifice: How the Four Who Rule got their immortality, by sacrificing everyone in their kingdoms.
* {{Hypocrite}}: A right-wing news-anchor criticisms Sam Wilson for using potentially lethal force against a pair of hoodlums, then immediately starts an editorial about why the police ''should'' be allowed to use it more often. She even had the gall to call the Punisher a '''patriot''' for his actions.
* HypocriticalHumor: James Lucas scolds his son for swearing, and then when Luke confronts him about what he got up to in the seventies, he starts swearing himself.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: James Lucas admits that the world of monsters and superbeings isn't for him. It's why he avoided his son for so long.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:How the Were-Roosters subdue Blade.]]
* {{Irony}}: In the last issue, Monica nearly destroys the Ultimate Earth, only to be captured by The Maker, who believes she must have hesitated because it was her first time killing.
* ItsAllAboutMe: ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan doesn't want the Mighty Avengers around because they'd 'get in his way'. So he shows up at their door with an army of {{Mooks}} and demand they work for him.
* ItsPersonal: Gideon Mace killed Ava's family. She wants him dead.
** Kaluu was drawn into the conflict with the Four Who Rule because they stole his people's grave goods.
* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: Blade's original bright yellow outfit returns in the ''ComicBook/OriginalSin'' flashbacks.
* JerkAss: ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan is this, through and through.
** Kaluu.
* KickTheDog: Superior Spider-Man threatens to have Danielle Cage sent into childcare.
** While beating up Power Man, the Tiger God feels the need to tell him Aya doesn't love him.
* KnightTemplar: Sam Wilson becomes one under the effect of the Inversion, crippling two criminals, violently assaulting the Plunderer and his goon, and acting like an utter dick to the Avengers. He does mercifully get over it, though.
* LargeHam: The Plunderer.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Luke Cage's comment on destroying the Deathwalker's macguffin, about not having "saved the world" in a while can be taken on it's face, or as a comment on the nature of superhero comics focusing less on over-the-top heroics, and [[ComicBook/CivilWar more on]] [[ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen conflicts between superheroes]].
* LemonyNarrator: The captions, pretty much all the time.
* LetsGetDangerous: Drained of several pints of blood and surrounded by unfriendly were-scorpions, [[spoiler:Blade]] admits he was holding back. Violence ensues
** Monica, when she learns that [[spoiler:the Beyond Corporation is behind Quantrell.]]
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: She-Hulk and Blue Marvel, when one of Blue Light's gang uses a strobe effect to escape them. Then Adam goes and tells Monica anyway, much to She-Hulk's displeasure.
* LightEmUp: Adam Brashear is capable of generating light. Comes in handy against the undead.
* LotusEaterMachine: The Deathwalker Prime tries this on the Avengers. To its credit, it does at least try different illusions for each of them. It still doesn't work.
* {{Macguffin}}: The Lost Talisman of Kamar-Taj. The Deathwalkers want it, [[spoiler:and Blade has it.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Sam Wilson, after the Inversion.
* MyGreatestFailure: Adam Brashear, the Blue Marvel, is [[spoiler: unable to save his son from the Neutral Zone]]
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Kaluu uses his magic to transport Redline into another dimension, absent all his clothes, save his underwear.
* NonHumanUndead: [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Ninja Were-Snakes]].
-->'''Caption''': Yes. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Ninja Were-Snakes]].
** Followed by Were-Slugs, Bugs, Rhinos, Octopi, Honey-Badgers, and Roosters, all to capture [[spoiler:Blade]].
-->'''Caption''': "Don't say we never give you anything."
** Oh, and the Were-Lampreys.
** The Bear turns out to be... a Were-Bear.
* OhCrap: Adam has one during ''Infinity'', when his disaster warning system sounds off a level 8 alert, since he designed it and had no idea it could go that high.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Adam Brashear is pushing somewhere over eighty. He looks to be in his mid-fifties at the most.
** Confirmed in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates2015'', he's 87 years old.
* OmniDisciplinaryScientist: Adam Brashear, the Blue Marvel.
* PerpetualSmiler: Jason Quantrell never stops smiling. It gets seriously [[SlasherSmile creepy]] after ''Axis''.
* PokemonSpeak: For whatever reason, the criminal Redline is incapable of doing anything but shouting his name out. Repeatedly.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Max Brashear appears in his father's undersea lairs without warning. Spider-Man assumes he's attacking, and the two fight until Monica intervenes.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "Hello, boys. Let the [[ComicBook/SheHulk mediation]] begin."
* ThePromise: Blade promised to return to Spitfire, and England, alive. It's what motivates his escape attempt from the Deathwalkers.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Jason Quantrell gives Gideon Mace a short but effective one in #3 of the relaunch, pointing out that Mace lacks subtlety, and that the world is leaving him behind, despite his efforts to keep up.
** Blue Marvel gives a great one to the Illuminati on how completely full of themselves they were to assume only ''they'' could find out a solution to the Incursions when Blue Marvel is a genius in his own right whose research could have cracked the solution.
* TheReveal: Ronin is [[spoiler: {{ComicBook/Blade}}.]]
** Doctor Positron is [[spoiler:Adam's other son]]. Though it's not as if he's going to any lengths to hide it.
* {{Retcon}}: The events of ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}'' were ultimately revealed to be in-canon, with Monica revealing that the only ones who knew that it actually happened where those involved. And it particularly hurt Monica. Or at least it's canon in the sense the Beyond Corporation was messing with their minds.
* RousingSpeech: Spidey manages to give a good one when he takes an inverted Captain America's shield from him. He claims it was like the shield bringing something out of him. An issue later, Same makes his own speech, on all the things Captain America has to stand for. He agrees with Peter.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Kaluu, in his own words, spent most of ComicBook/{{Infinity}} trying to flee to a 'less doomed plane of existence'.
* SeenItAll: A very dark variant, where a woman being interviewed by the news lists off all the normal fears and anxieties a normal person in the Marvel Universe has, before noting that the end of all existence is just another thing on the list.
* ASharedSuffering: Utilised by the team during their FusionDance, listing all the members who've lost a family member, and how it unites them.
* ShoutOut: Spider-Man [[Film/TheAvengers2012 has an army]]. Luke Cage has [[ComicBook/SheHulk a lawyer]].
** Doctor Positron [[Film/AustinPowers welcomes the superheroes to his underground lair]], despite the fact that they aren't underground. He explicitly labels the Austin Powers movies as his favourite films.
** In issue 10, a caption has this to say of New York: "It's a helluva town." A reference to ''Theatre/OnTheTown''.
** [[spoiler:Kevin Brashear, on his return from the Neutral Zone, looks amazingly like [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Doctor Manhattan]] And by "amazingly", we mean exactly.]]
** Power Man's caption for ''Captain America and the Mighty Avengers'' #3 reads [[WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}} "Strong to the finish, 'cause New York is his spinach."]]
* ShootingSuperman: Monica shrugs off Barbara [=McDevitt's=] time-manipulating abilities, so the lady tries to shoot her. Monica can turn intangible.
* StandardFiftiesFather: Blue Marvel's reaction to aforementioned Film/AustinPowers reference? Remarking that he finds those movies vulgar, followed by annoyed muttering from Doctor Positron, who happens to be [[spoiler:his son.]]
* SuperSpeed: Monica can move at the speed of light. It comes in handy against a foe who can [[TimeStandsStill slow down time]].
* TakeThat: A few in the Last Days tie-ins to ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' towards the characters in the Hickman series (though not towards the series themselves).
** Issue #8 of ''Captain America and the Mighty Avengers'' has most of the cast point out that ComicBook/TheIlluminati should have asked for help to deal with the incursion crisis rather than hiding it from the world until it was too late to stop it.
** Issue #9 takes one of the ArcWords from [[ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers The Avengers]] and twists it. "We were Avengers" in the main series is used in a melancholy, nostalgic sense to show that despite their best efforts the Avengers were slowly falling apart at the seams. In Mighty Avengers it's the opposite, showing heroes and regular people alike banding together to help others even in the face of the end of the world, and stating to each other that ''this'' was what made them real heroes.
* TargetedHumanSacrifice: Blade, by the Four Who Rule.
* TemptingFate: Monica claims that nothing W.A.S.P.E have can hurt her. Seconds later, they do just that. Lampshaded by the captions.
-->'''Caption''': "Just jinxed it."
* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: The Four Who Rule acknowledge this, that ultimately only one of them could rule. They've got a solution for that. [[spoiler:It still doesn't work.]]
* TokenEvilTeamMate: The ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan, seeing as how he is really Otto Octavius. He's not actually part of the team, but he wants to be in charge.
** Also when the Tiger God takes over Ava.
** Kaluu also counts, though he's more a {{Jerkass}} at most. It still gets some angry comments from Steven Rodgers during ''Last Days''.
* TookALevelInBadass: Not that she was a slouch before, but Monica gets a free power-up during ''Infinity''.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Sam Wilson and Luke Cage, after ComicBook/{{Axis}} causes their personalities to be inverted. It wears off after the event, but they have to live with the consequences.
* TranquilFury: Jessica Jones is furious about Luke setting up ''another'' Avengers franchise, and potentially putting their baby in danger. She says this while chatting amicably with Adam Brashear, and moving furniture about.
* TheTunguskaEvent: An act of magic gone very wrong. It also happened to create The Bear in the process.
* ViolentGlaswegian: Cairn of the Four Who Rule has a strong Scottish accent, and is also the biggest and most physically violent of the lot.
* WhatTheHellHero: Adam and Monica are anything but impressed by Reed Richards and T'Challa's actions over in ''[[ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers New Avengers]]''.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Everywhere in the final issue before ''Secret Wars''. Jen feels bad about the possibility of having to kill, Monica hesitates to destroy an entire universe, because her impact site was a children's playground, Dave and Soraya the tech support stay in The Gem to man the hotlines, Adam and Max are still trying to fix things (with Adam turning down a phone call from his daughter to focus on work), Danny, Luke and Ava try and save who they can, and Jessica helps out in an emergency center.
** Brought home by the doctor in the last segment, as he addresses the reader.
-->''You were struck by falling masonry while assisting in the evacuation of the school, according to the Samaritan who brought you in. By their reckoning, at least three of the younger children owe their lives to you. That might not seem like much, half an hour or so before the end comes - it's a small blessing. But the small things ''matter''. The ''effort'' matters. If we ''give in''... if we don't at least ''try''... then the world has ''already'' ended.''
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Steve Rogers says this to the team during the ''Last Days'' tie-in, even though the team's not done or doing anything to him.
* YouAreTooLate: Blade escapes his shackles and confronts the Four, the Mighty Avengers arrive on the scene... and the Four reveal they already drank Blade's blood, and don't need him. They're moving on to the next stage of their plan.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:After using Gideon Mace to "stir the pot" with his bigotry, Jason Quantrell has him killed, as he needs things to move faster than Mace can accommodate for.]]
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Ava tries going back to her family during ''Last Days'', but since she's the White Tiger, they're terrified by her (Because of what happened to Hector Ayala and Angela Del Toro) and drive her away.

* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler: Deathwalker Prime traps every person in the world in a nightmarish illusion meant to break their wills. Luke Cage is the only person with the willpower to free himself (with the captions even pointing out that he is "unbreakable"). The only other person who was even able to resist was Steve Rogers, who is seen in a single panel, trying to stand up under the mental onslaught.]]
* HumanSacrifice: How the Four Who Rule got their immortality, by sacrificing everyone in their kingdoms.
* {{Hypocrite}}: A right-wing news-anchor criticisms Sam Wilson for using potentially lethal force against a pair of hoodlums, then immediately starts an editorial about why the police ''should'' be allowed to use it more often. She even had the gall to call the Punisher a '''patriot''' for his actions.
* HypocriticalHumor: James Lucas scolds his son for swearing, and then when Luke confronts him about what he got up to in the seventies, he starts swearing himself.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: James Lucas admits that the world of monsters and superbeings isn't for him. It's why he avoided his son for so long.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:How the Were-Roosters subdue Blade.]]
* {{Irony}}: In the last issue, Monica nearly destroys the Ultimate Earth, only to be captured by The Maker, who believes she must have hesitated because it was her first time killing.
* ItsAllAboutMe: ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan doesn't want the Mighty Avengers around because they'd 'get in his way'. So he shows up at their door with an army of {{Mooks}} and demand they work for him.

* LargeHam: The Plunderer.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Luke Cage's comment on destroying the Deathwalker's macguffin, about not having "saved the world" in a while can be taken on it's face, or as a comment on the nature of superhero comics focusing less on over-the-top heroics, and [[ComicBook/CivilWar more on]] [[ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen conflicts between superheroes]].
* LemonyNarrator: The captions, pretty much all the time.
* LetsGetDangerous: Drained of several pints of blood and surrounded by unfriendly were-scorpions, [[spoiler:Blade]] admits he was holding back. Violence ensues
** Monica, when she learns that [[spoiler:the Beyond Corporation is behind Quantrell.]]
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: She-Hulk and Blue Marvel, when one of Blue Light's gang uses a strobe effect to escape them. Then Adam goes and tells Monica anyway, much to She-Hulk's displeasure.
* LightEmUp: Adam Brashear is capable of generating light. Comes in handy against the undead.
* LotusEaterMachine: The Deathwalker Prime tries this on the Avengers. To its credit, it does at least try different illusions for each of them. It still doesn't work.

-->'''Caption''': "Don't say we never give you anything."
** Oh, and the Were-Lampreys.
** The Bear turns out to be... a Were-Bear.
* OhCrap: Adam has one during ''Infinity'', when his disaster warning system sounds off a level 8 alert, since he designed it and had no idea it could go that high.

** Confirmed in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates2015'', he's 87 years old.
* OmniDisciplinaryScientist: Adam Brashear, the Blue Marvel.
* PerpetualSmiler: Jason Quantrell never stops smiling. It gets seriously [[SlasherSmile creepy]] after ''Axis''.
* PokemonSpeak: For whatever reason, the criminal Redline is incapable of doing anything but shouting his name out. Repeatedly.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Max Brashear appears in his father's undersea lairs without warning. Spider-Man assumes he's attacking, and the two fight until Monica intervenes.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "Hello, boys. Let the [[ComicBook/SheHulk mediation]] begin."
* ThePromise: Blade promised to return to Spitfire, and England, alive. It's what motivates his escape attempt from the Deathwalkers.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Jason Quantrell gives Gideon Mace a short but effective one in #3 of the relaunch, pointing out that Mace lacks subtlety, and that the world is leaving him behind, despite his efforts to keep up.
** Blue Marvel gives a great one to the Illuminati on how completely full of themselves they were to assume only ''they'' could find out a solution to the Incursions when Blue Marvel is a genius in his own right whose research could have cracked the solution.
* TheReveal: Ronin is [[spoiler: {{ComicBook/Blade}}.]]
** Doctor Positron is [[spoiler:Adam's other son]]. Though it's not as if he's going to any lengths to hide it.
* {{Retcon}}: The events of ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}'' were ultimately revealed to be in-canon, with Monica revealing that the only ones who knew that it actually happened where those involved. And it particularly hurt Monica. Or at least it's canon in the sense the Beyond Corporation was messing with their minds.
* RousingSpeech: Spidey manages to give a good one when he takes an inverted Captain America's shield from him. He claims it was like the shield bringing something out of him. An issue later, Same makes his own speech, on all the things Captain America has to stand for. He agrees with Peter.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Kaluu, in his own words, spent most of ComicBook/{{Infinity}} trying to flee to a 'less doomed plane of existence'.
* SeenItAll: A very dark variant, where a woman being interviewed by the news lists off all the normal fears and anxieties a normal person in the Marvel Universe has, before noting that the end of all existence is just another thing on the list.
* ASharedSuffering: Utilised by the team during their FusionDance, listing all the members who've lost a family member, and how it unites them.
* ShoutOut: Spider-Man [[Film/TheAvengers2012 has an army]]. Luke Cage has [[ComicBook/SheHulk a lawyer]].
** Doctor Positron [[Film/AustinPowers welcomes the superheroes to his underground lair]], despite the fact that they aren't underground. He explicitly labels the Austin Powers movies as his favourite films.
** In issue 10, a caption has this to say of New York: "It's a helluva town." A reference to ''Theatre/OnTheTown''.
** [[spoiler:Kevin Brashear, on his return from the Neutral Zone, looks amazingly like [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Doctor Manhattan]] And by "amazingly", we mean exactly.]]
** Power Man's caption for ''Captain America and the Mighty Avengers'' #3 reads [[WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}} "Strong to the finish, 'cause New York is his spinach."]]
* ShootingSuperman: Monica shrugs off Barbara [=McDevitt's=] time-manipulating abilities, so the lady tries to shoot her. Monica can turn intangible.
* StandardFiftiesFather: Blue Marvel's reaction to aforementioned Film/AustinPowers reference? Remarking that he finds those movies vulgar, followed by annoyed muttering from Doctor Positron, who happens to be [[spoiler:his son.]]
* SuperSpeed: Monica can move at the speed of light. It comes in handy against a foe who can [[TimeStandsStill slow down time]].
* TakeThat: A few in the Last Days tie-ins to ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' towards the characters in the Hickman series (though not towards the series themselves).
** Issue #8 of ''Captain America and the Mighty Avengers'' has most of the cast point out that ComicBook/TheIlluminati should have asked for help to deal with the incursion crisis rather than hiding it from the world until it was too late to stop it.
** Issue #9 takes one of the ArcWords from [[ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers The Avengers]] and twists it. "We were Avengers" in the main series is used in a melancholy, nostalgic sense to show that despite their best efforts the Avengers were slowly falling apart at the seams. In Mighty Avengers it's the opposite, showing heroes and regular people alike banding together to help others even in the face of the end of the world, and stating to each other that ''this'' was what made them real heroes.
* TargetedHumanSacrifice: Blade, by the Four Who Rule.
* TemptingFate: Monica claims that nothing W.A.S.P.E have can hurt her. Seconds later, they do just that. Lampshaded by the captions.
-->'''Caption''': "Just jinxed it."
* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: The Four Who Rule acknowledge this, that ultimately only one of them could rule. They've got a solution for that. [[spoiler:It still doesn't work.]]
* TokenEvilTeamMate: The ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan, seeing as how he is really Otto Octavius. He's not actually part of the team, but he wants to be in charge.
** Also when the Tiger God takes over Ava.
** Kaluu also counts, though he's more a {{Jerkass}} at most. It still gets some angry comments from Steven Rodgers during ''Last Days''.
* TookALevelInBadass: Not that she was a slouch before, but Monica gets a free power-up during ''Infinity''.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Sam Wilson and Luke Cage, after ComicBook/{{Axis}} causes their personalities to be inverted. It wears off after the event, but they have to live with the consequences.
* TranquilFury: Jessica Jones is furious about Luke setting up ''another'' Avengers franchise, and potentially putting their baby in danger. She says this while chatting amicably with Adam Brashear, and moving furniture about.
* TheTunguskaEvent: An act of magic gone very wrong. It also happened to create The Bear in the process.
* ViolentGlaswegian: Cairn of the Four Who Rule has a strong Scottish accent, and is also the biggest and most physically violent of the lot.
* WhatTheHellHero: Adam and Monica are anything but impressed by Reed Richards and T'Challa's actions over in ''[[ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers New Avengers]]''.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Everywhere in the final issue before ''Secret Wars''. Jen feels bad about the possibility of having to kill, Monica hesitates to destroy an entire universe, because her impact site was a children's playground, Dave and Soraya the tech support stay in The Gem to man the hotlines, Adam and Max are still trying to fix things (with Adam turning down a phone call from his daughter to focus on work), Danny, Luke and Ava try and save who they can, and Jessica helps out in an emergency center.
** Brought home by the doctor in the last segment, as he addresses the reader.
-->''You were struck by falling masonry while assisting in the evacuation of the school, according to the Samaritan who brought you in. By their reckoning, at least three of the younger children owe their lives to you. That might not seem like much, half an hour or so before the end comes - it's a small blessing. But the small things ''matter''. The ''effort'' matters. If we ''give in''... if we don't at least ''try''... then the world has ''already'' ended.''
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Steve Rogers says this to the team during the ''Last Days'' tie-in, even though the team's not done or doing anything to him.
* YouAreTooLate: Blade escapes his shackles and confronts the Four, the Mighty Avengers arrive on the scene... and the Four reveal they already drank Blade's blood, and don't need him. They're moving on to the next stage of their plan.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:After using Gideon Mace to "stir the pot" with his bigotry, Jason Quantrell has him killed, as he needs things to move faster than Mace can accommodate for.]]
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Ava tries going back to her family during ''Last Days'', but since she's the White Tiger, they're terrified by her (Because of what happened to Hector Ayala and Angela Del Toro) and drive her away.
