* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: The reserve Avengers team includes two canonical characters who have never been Avengers in any medium (though largely drawing from their ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' portrayals who've never met the MCU's Avengers), Isabelle Hartley and Absorbing Man (the former taking on the new codename Warrior and the latter renaming himself to Alloy). The former was a SHIELD agent whose only comic appearance was in a single issue of ComicBook/DarkAvengers, and whose more fleshed out ''Agents of SHIELD'' depiction died onscreen in her first appearance (largely appearing in flashbacks if she was ever seen again). The latter is a supervillain in the comics whose ''Agents of SHIELD'' depiction had undergone AdaptationalHeroism, but was largely confined to working with Glenn Talbot.

This is then zig-zagged as Professor X admits that he has helped before in limited ways, but part of the problem is that a good chunk of the mutants under his care are children.



** Creel accidentally hits a berserk button for Matt Murdock, as Creel was the one who fought Matt's father in his last bout. Mr. Murdock was supposed to take a dive, but didn't, and was killed by the mob. Creel expresses remorse over this and wishes that Mr. Murdock had taken the dive, as Creel liked him. Matt is furious by this and storms out.

While the Leader is dangerous on his own, Klaue is able to point out that not only does the leader not get ''people'', his tactics tend to lack practicality. In many of their scenes together he seems to be the one pulling the Leader back from going full-on scenery-chewing ham. In one of the final scenes of the first volume, he's telling the Leader to not talk to himself in a dark room, since it makes him look crazy.

However, what he ''has'' is ''experience.''

* EvenGuysWantHim: It's mentioned multiple times that Steve Rogers and Thor are enough to make even straight men question their preferences.



* JerkassHasAPoint: J. Jonah Jameson, in his interview, delivers his opinions in a highly skewed rant. However, he does make points that are reflected in the story at large. He mentions that Dial came from nowhere and has absurd amounts of power, which were plot points early on when trying to find who is and is not HYDRA, and the Superpowered Arms Race specifically points to Dial's powers as one thing nations are scrambling to counter. He mentions that Carl was a former mob enforcer, and asks if he can be trusted... which comes back to haunt Creel multiple times, including with Matt Murdock. He mentions national superhero teams, and mentions Fantasma, stating that the circumstances around meeting her look suspicious from the outside, and that she could refuse to fight against Russia's interests... which again, are concerns that BRIDGE mentions having.



** The story proper starts when Mahmoud hears that Captain America is an outlaw (the Winter Soldier storyline) and leaps into action.



* RecognitionFailure: Tony Stark drops into Pop's hair salon for a haircut, but one of the kids there says that Iron Man is taller. Tony just snarks to Pops that that's why he needs the haircut; he's unrecognizable.

** As of the Nexus of Realities storyline, Phil Coulson's Lawgiver copy works much the same way.



** It says something when actual literal demons from hell, who regularly sacrifice people and engage in casual brutality, start running scared from Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher.
** Shortly before Jessica Jones and Luke Cage meet with Sam, Dial, and Maria Hill, a maid sees Dial in his Big Chill form and makes the sign of the cross as he passes.
** Chernobog plays this up to the maximum, partially because, well, he's a god of Evil, and partly because he's a massive troll.



** Happens again with gamma-mutated HYDRA operatives.

** Happens again with gamma-mutated HYDRA operatives.operatives- well, some of them. Others, like Rana, actually take to prion well and start getting rehabilitation.



* YoungFutureFamousPeople: Dial makes sure to keep track of any such person, including Peter Parker and Doctor Doom.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: one way that Mahmoud is able to tell who's an important person in this version of Marvel he finds himself in is that every significant person coincidentally looks exactly like a famous actor from his world. He notes that Fury looks like Samuel L. Jackson, Stark like Robert Downey Jr., and Maria Hill as Colbie Smoulders, for a very abridged list.
** He's ''extremely'' confused during the Mind War segment, when the Avengers are facing enemies of their past, and finds that Jeff Bridges is attacking Iron Man.
** This even applies to other characters that ''haven't'' shown up in MCU canon yet, like the Grapplers, or She-Hulk.



* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Sauron's]] reaction to learning of HYDRA's resurgence is to voice a hope that they were destoyed quickly. This is from an unrepentant tyrant and slaver.

** A kid makes this comment to Tony Stark when he stops in at Pops', leading to Tony joking that "this is why he needs a haircut," since apparently he's unrecognizable.



* FusionDance: Two of Dial's aliens, Upgrade (Galvanic Mechamorph) and Blight ([[spoiler: Klyntar symbiote]]) allow him to do this with other people. So far, as the former, he has combined with War Machine and Iron Man, and as the latter, he has combined with Alloy.

So far, as the former, he has combined with War Machine and Iron Man, and as the latter, he has combined with Alloy.


Added DiffLines:

** Ulik (and Mahmoud's Troll form) are both shown as having healing powers.


Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler: After the final battle against Hydra, in which Mahmoud managed to remove the mental block placed on him, he discovers that Emma Frost put a filter on him (and several other people) to prevent them from even ''thinking'' about Mutantkind in any way, shape, or form. After Strucker's death (he had a similar block placed on him), Charles Xavier contacts Dial to arrange a meeting.]]

Alphabetizing, and nothing here suggests Ruby Hale is anything more than a Badass Normal human. Removing per https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13543987200A54420100&page=700


* AGodAmI: Strucker believes he has become a god through the power of the mind stone. Mahmoud dissuades him of that notion by showing him [[EldritchAbomination Chthon]], [[{{Hell}} his future]], and [[spoiler: [[Characters/MarvelComicsGalactus The Devourer]] ]].



* AdorableAbomination: Ruby Hale is a 14-year-old girl, raised and taught from birth to be the ideal, ruthless, heartless assassin of HYDRA's dreams, and Natasha can see it in her eyes. But to the veteran assassin Black Widow (and slightly to Hawkeye and Nomad), she comes off as a deadly but incredibly cute and naive puppy.

He retains his humanoid form rather than being a space cloud, but like his movie self rather than use technology to absorb a planets life force he is massive enough reach down and absorb it with his bare hands.]]
