History Fanfic / ThereWasOnceAnAvengerFromKrypton

** One of the major plot points of the Labyrinth arc of ''The Girl Who Could Knock Out The Hulk'' is Kara being puzzled by how not only does S.W.O.R.D. apparently have no knowledge of Krypton or the Kryptonian Empire, but that while there ''is'' an asteroid belt in Krypton's former orbit around Rao/Gliese 3707 and all the ''other'' planets Kara remembers are there, the actual ''mass'' of the asteroids is nowhere even ''close'' to the mass of even ''one'' of Krypton's moons, let alone the other moons, Krypton itself, or its sister planet Daxam, not to mention that Kara's best estimates of how long she spent in the Phantom Zone don't give the belt itself enough time to form. Lena's best guess is that maybe time went wonky and Kara was in the Zone longer than she thought, and the explosion was so violent that the remaining mass fell further out of orbit than Kara thought it would, but Kara's still not convinced. [[spoiler: Doctor Doom eventually reveals that this is because Kara's actually from a different universe than the one she's currently in, and while the native versions of some individuals, like Lena, came into being as a result of the changes Doom and Reed got the Celestials to trigger to make her fit, the equivalent of the Kryptonian star system didn't change properly]].

* GalacticConqueror: Multiple characters and factions either are this or wish to be it.
** Most notable is the Gem Empire, which has 100% control of ''every'' solar system in their home dwarf galaxy, as well as presences in multiple other galaxies, namely Andromeda, which their galaxy orbits, and the Milky Way, along with other members of the Local Group. The only reason they haven't conquered the universe yet is that the Diamonds like to take their time extracting all available resources from a system before moving on, and since they're effectively immortal they're not exactly rushing.

* ActuallyADoombot: The TropeNamer is the BigBad of ''The Girl Who Could Knock Out the Hulk'', so of course this comes up, with Doom using one as a decoy during the Labyrinth arc, which makes Kara wonder if she's ''ever'' been in the same room as him (WordOfGod, though, confirms their first encounter was in-person on Doom's part).

** In the canon MCU, Fury was born in 1950. In the Kryptonverse he was born 1n ''1930'', with his aging rate having been halved due to being exposed to an alien artifact left behind by the Red Skull. Abigail Brand was similarly exposed, also making her older than her MCU counterpart.

** In the MCU, The Nova Corps were more of a generic galactic army who lacked their canon version's abilities. Here, their FlyingBrick SpacePolice status is reestablished.

** Prince Ali is cut from the ''Miraculous Ladybug'' storyline, due to the author feeling that he's a flat character who doesn't actually contribute much to the canon series, with his precipitating role in "Princess Fragrance" instead being given to a princess implied to be Shuri, who has a larger part to play in the overall setting.

* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: In general, this is averted, as Earth is a backwater planet in a backwater galaxy that has only recently become relevant on the larger scale. [[spoiler: However, Doom and Reed reveal that on the Celestials' multiversal level, Earth is vital -- it exists in every universe, with humanity always living on it, and if it's destroyed, the universe as a whole suffers.]] [[spoiler:Verdona and Max confirm that this is the case in "Just Another Day at the Office", telling Shepard that it'll be easier to pinpoint the universe of her origins on Earth.]]

* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: In general, this is averted, as Earth is a backwater planet in a backwater galaxy that has only recently become relevant on the larger scale. [[spoiler: However, Doom and Reed reveal that on the Celestials' multiversal level, Earth is vital -- it exists in every universe, with humanity always living on it, and if it's destroyed, the universe as a whole suffers.]]

** The Nova Corps is technically an empire, but they're fairly hands-off as long as a world remains affiliated and doesn't engage in "bullshit like slavery", as Carol puts it. This is part of why, despite the [[WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow Akiridions]] being one of the oldest and most loyal members of the empire, Nova Prime has given orders not to interfere with Morando's coup. The fact that they will need Akiridion's military forces against the Black Order is another factor.
** Krypton had an interstellar empire back in its heyday, one that was far-reaching enough that Kara is deeply confused that no one else she's met with knowledge of the wider galaxy has never heard of it.

* PerfectSolutionFallacy: This is the big sticking point of a major revelation in Chapter 34 of ''The Girl Who Could Knock Out the Hulk'', as while Doctor Doom and [[spoiler:the original Reed wishing to see Thanos defeated with little-to-no damage to Earth and humanity beyond what is necessary in the base MCU’s “script” isn’t really a ''bad'' thing, the lengths they’re willing to go to, including shoving new races into the Kryptonverse simply to serve as cannon fodder against the Black Order so Earth has less to deal with, shows that their (but especially Doom’s) obsession with a “perfect victory” on their own terms has made it impossible for Kara to bring herself to work with them]].

* ChekhovsGunman: Early in ''Changing of the Guard'', it's mentioned that three bounty hunters come to Earth in response to the Omnitrix activating, but only two (Sixsix and Krabb) show up during the story. The epilogue reveals that the third one, whose identity is still unknown at this point, is an informant for Max who's keeping an eye on things for him.

* SynchronousEpisodes: Chapters 18 and 19 of ''Changing of the Guard'' and Chapter 28 of ''The Girl Who Could Knock Out The Hulk'' show their respective [=POVs=] of Vilgax's invasion of Arcadia Oaks and the counter-attack against him. Meanwhile, the first chapter of ''From His Vantage Upon the Moon'' shows Strange and Thor's meeting with the Olympians that they were tied up with while the Avengers were first setting out for California, and the fourth chapter shows Charlie and Bumblebee's group's reactions to the attack on the town.

** [[spoiler:Doom and Reed themselves retain the memories of previous iterations of the Kryptonverse, given that they're the ones causing the retcons in the first place]].
** [[spoiler:Kara remembers the reality before the retcon in Chapter 34 due to being at ground zero of the change, as do Thor, Bruce, Strange, Dani, and Nico]].
** [[spoiler:Hecate has retained her memories since Doom revealed the truth of the Kryptonverse to her]].
** [[spoiler:Thanks to Kara interfering with the process by rescuing the goddess Doom had captive to power the change, [[VideoGame/MassEffect Jane Shepard and EDI]] remember their lives in their original reality before being dragged to the Kryptonverse]].

** When Nico hears of Dark Dan's BadFuture, and how widespread the devastation apparently was, he wonders why there was apparently ''no'' actions taken against him by the Olympians or one of the other major players around Earth like Supergirl or the other Avengers. Danny speculates that either there was some other cataclysm that took out the others, or that he's potentially more powerful than even he realizes.

* LastOfHisKind: Vilgax, due to [[spoiler: Thanos wiping out his entire species]].
** [[spoiler:Master Fu is the last of the Guardians in this universe]].

** Hawk Moth can not only give people powers, but he can also mind control them as well. He also has more direct offensive abilities, like attacking with his butterflies directly and other energy manipulation abilities such as PlayingWithFire. The caveat that his power can significantly be affected, positively or negatively, by the ambient emotions around him, like how the bravery and outrage of the Parisian citizens weakens his fire powers enough that an ordinary fire extinguisher can put it out. It's also hinted that he has other dark magic which he uses to bend Nooroo to his will.

* LikeParentUnlikeChild: More than once it's noted that it's hard to believe that Max's children were remotely related to him at all, given what they're like. Even Coulson has a hard time reconciling how someone as noble as Max Tennyson gave birth to such awful parents, even going so far as to call them "''devil spawn''".

** Master Fu has no role in giving the Miraculous to their chosen wielders here. Lampshaded when [[spoiler:Ms. Bustier]] speculates that the Guardians are all dead, which would explain his absence.

* BackFromTheDead: People end up getting killed in Hawk Moth's many Akuma attacks. The only reason death never sticks is because Ladybug's powers reverse all the damage, including the deaths.

** An unnamed princess, who is implied to be Shuri, takes the place of Prince Ali in this universe's version of the events of "Princess Fragrance".

** Played straight with Howard Stark. According to Tony, while he wasn't prejudice against African Americans, he was very admonishing of his son for being pansexual.

* UncannyValley: {{Discussed|Trope}} InUniverse regarding Victor Von Doom. It's shown that he's a handsome young man, but Sue states that looking at him, there's just something fundamentally ''wrong'' with him.

# ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/42611667 Refusal of the Call]]'' (''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'', ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', and ''Franchise/HarryPotter'') (Completed as of October 24, 2022)

** One of the major plot points of the post-Arcadia arc of ''The Girl Who Could Knock Out The Hulk'' is Kara being puzzled by how not only does S.W.O.R.D. apparently have no knowledge of Krypton or the Kryptonian Empire, but that while there ''is'' an asteroid belt in Krypton's former orbit around Rao/Gliese 3707 and all the ''other'' planets Kara remembers are there, the actual ''mass'' of the asteroids is nowhere even ''close'' to the mass of even ''one'' of Krypton's moons, let alone the other moons, Krypton itself, or its sister planet Daxam, not to mention that Kara's best estimates of how long she spent in the Phantom Zone don't give the belt itself enough time to form. Lena's best guess is that maybe time went wonky and Kara was in the Zone longer than she thought, and the explosion was so violent that the remaining mass fell further out of orbit than Kara thought it would, but Kara's still not convinced. [[spoiler: Doctor Doom eventually reveals that this is because Kara's actually from a different universe than the one she's currently in, and while the native versions of some individuals, like Lena, came into being as a result of the changes Doom and Reed got the Celestials to trigger to make her fit, the equivalent of the Kryptonian star system didn't change properly]].

** Harry is gender-neutral, having been born biologically female but raised as a boy. HP Goblins are also a larger and more intelligent subspecies of the Tales of Arcadia version instead of what we saw in the movies, and Fred and Tonks are alive.

** The author admits that J.K. Rowling's actions have made her a BrokenPedestal to them, and the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' elements of the setting have been altered rather extensively to work out some of the nastier elements.

** Several other characters were detailed in a Pride Month post [[https://darthkvznblogs.tumblr.com/post/654992977895260160/saw-the-new-chapter-nice-btw-how-would-the here]] (later expanded upon in [[https://darthkvznblogs.tumblr.com/post/655464034697674752/alright-for-the-next-group-of-names-how-about this post]]). Among others is Pidge being pansexual and genderfluid and Black Widow being an aromantic bisexual, just to name a few.

* AdaptationalDeviation: The Amazons from the ''Percy Jackson'' series are reworked here as a splinter group that broke off from the bulk of their people, who are now living in isolation in Atlantis under Kassandra's rule.

** The process of creating [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Gems]] uses [[WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender Quintessence]].

** [[WesternAnimation/Wizards2020 Bellroc]] was the first Sorcerer Supreme.

** ''Changing of the Guard'' ends with Carol talking to Max and Rook about [[WesternAnimation/ThreeBelow a coup on Akiridion-V, with the royal children fleeing to Earth]]. In addition, the Forever Knights are aware of Ben and the Trolls underneath Arcadia, and are definitely plotting something.

* CosmicRetcon: It's revealed in Chapter 34 of ''The Girl Who Could Knock Out the Hulk'' that [[spoiler:Doctor Doom and Reed Richards have been dragging people, species, and objects from other universes into Earth-199999 and then rebooting the timeline to make them retroactively part of it, all for the purpose of making Earth strong enough to fight off Thanos and the Black Order.]]

** The "Trophy Room" vault that Tony has built inside Avengers Tower is lined with lead-infused titanium in order to completely seal it off if necessary, has its own dedicated arc reactor power source, and in case of emergency can detach from the tower and be carried by repulser anywhere within a five thousand mile radius.

** Gabriel is disgusted by HYDRA, and only works with them out of necessity.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** The Akuma attacks are played much more seriously in this universe, with realistic damages and people being injured in droves, and even killed, only not dying for good because of Ladybug's WorldHealingWave power resurrecting them.
** Even interstellar armadas need proper supply lines, which is why Pidge isn't particularly worried about the Galra attacking Earth anytime soon; even if it's just to demoralize the Paladins by attacking their homeworld, establishing said supply lines would take at ''least'' several decades.
** The Galra, being organic beings, can only sustain bases in a small percentage of the solar systems of the average galaxy, and usually don't bother with the satellites.
** It's noted that ''no'' outside forces intervening in the Akuma attacks in Paris is rather odd; it's then revealed to be because Hawk Moth, not wanting outside interference from the Avengers and/or similar forces, somehow applied the {{Glamour}} affecting Miraculous users to the entire city.
** When Chloe finds out that the Mayor passed a new city ordinance that states that if someone becomes Akumatized, or causes another person to become Akumatized, through criminal acts or behaviors they'll get the maximum sentence possible for each offense, she notes that it [[ArtisticLicenseLaw doens't seem legal]]. Lady Noire admits that she's probably right about it not being legal, but given the fear of becoming the one Akuma that allows Hawk Moth to ''win'', no one's really complaining at the moment.
** Darthkvzn forestalls any complaints about there not being enough interaction between the Alien Force and Avengers at the end of Chapter 21 of ''Changing of the Guard'' by pointing out that the logistics of a post-battle environment don't really allow for a fun conversation like that, with even the Avengers only managing to put together a silent lunch after the Battle of New York.
** When looking for what's left of Krypton, Kara only finds an asteroid belt. As she points out to Lena, while she isn't 100% sure how long she was in her pod, she's still pretty sure that it wasn't ''nearly'' long enough for an asteroid belt to form, and even if she ''was'', the belt itself has ''far'' less mass than it should given that two planets and four moons were destroyed.
** As Danny points out, the fact that Fury ''broke into his house'' didn't do his recruitment attempt any favors.
** As T’Challa shows, Tony’s 180 degree personality change isn’t trusted by everyone, with some people assuming that he has a hidden agenda of some kind.
** The Arcadia police force are not fans of Ben's heroic activities, because while well meant, they're still vigilantism.
** The universe is mind-bogglingly ''huge''. As mentioned above, the Galra only have actual bases in about 7% of the systems of the galaxies that they control, and that's only an average that gets higher as one gets closer to their powerbase near the core of the known universe. They have to use both unmanned and manned patrols, along with sensor drones, to give the ''illusion'' of overwhelming presence, and put special focus on taking control of strategic points and subduing/conquering sapient races that might be threats in the future, and even then it's clear that they're stretched close to the limit keeping control of an empire ''that vast''.
** While the canon MCU has somewhat touched on the consequences of the Snap and its after-effects, [[spoiler:Doom and the original Reed spell them out for Kara. Countless people died in the immediate aftermath due to the sudden absences of so many others -- crashes caused by driverless vehicles, surgeons disappearing mid-surgery, children left without caretakers for days, etc. Crops rotted and livestock starved because there was no one to tend to them. And since the loss of half the population wasn't equally spread across borders, some countries lost more people than others, all while governments and other organizations collapsed from the loss of half the people meant to support them]].
** In the last chapter of ''She Stole My Heart (and most of my valuables)'', Luz notes that since she dropped off of the face of the Earth, Verizon ended up giving her phone number away. Also, when Luz sees Dipper's new glasses, she thinks that he probably needs them because he messed up his vision from all his all-night research sessions.
** Tony notes that sidewalks tend to collapse when he suddenly lands on them, considering that the Iron Man suit weighs 400 pounds.
** The fact that Tony needed to have parts of his ribcage and diaphragm removed and his lungs slightly moved to make room for the arc reactor all means that he's in constant pain and has breathing problems.
** When Tony meets Baymax and the robot tells him that he cannot deactivate unless Tony says that he's satisfied with his care, Tony mentally notes that he can think of at ''least'' six different scenarios where a patient would be unable to do so just off the top of his head.
** While Tony is rescuing a girl from the SFIT fire, she burns herself on his armor, the metal of which absorbed a lot of heat from the surrounding flames.
