!!Tropes:
* AbortedArc:
** "Avengers World" ended with Tony announcing plans to expand the Avengers. One TimeSkip later, the Avengers have drifted apart and Tony offhandedly mentions that the plan fell apart because there were no new threats.
** Nat's working for the UN, meanwhile, is completely ignored.
* CardCarryingVillain: As Cap notes, "the Masters of Evil" is pretty on the nose.
-->'''Captain America:''' How exactly does one ''become'' a Master of Evil?
-->'''Screaming Mimi:''' Practice!
* ChekhovsGunman: The Masters of Evil become important a few episodes down the line.
* CompressedHair: Natasha is able to hide her long locks underneath AIM's beekeeper outfits, as is Thor.
* CostumeEvolution:
** Cap's now sporting the costume he wore in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''.
** Black Widow's got a new outfit based on what she wore in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: AIM's base is hidden under an entire town.
* EvilEvolves: The episode ends with Ultron stealing the Scientist Supreme's knowledge and the Adaptoid nanotech, giving him a look more like his MCU counterpart.
* EvilIsNotAToy: AIM had Ultron's body lying around. There was no way that was ''ever'' going to end well, even before it turns out Ultron wasn't as deactivated as might've been hoped.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: On Nat's team entering the AIM base, the camera passes in front of Ultron's shattered remains in a jar, before Sam finds out about it.
* KickThemWhileTheyreDown: Hulk continues pounding on Goliath even after he's already knocked down. The others have to tell him to stop.
* LogicalWeakness: Screaming Mimi's SuperScream can be disabled simply by choking her.
* MoodWhiplash: The episode ends with the Scientist Supreme defeated, AIM's base destroyed and the nearby civilians saved. Cue Ultron popping out of the ground like a daisy, zapping the Scientist Supreme and getting a new body.
* MuggedForDisguise: Natasha, Sam and Steve beat up some AIM goons to steal their outfits. Then it turns out they weren't the only ones with this idea.
* MythologyGag: Screaming Mimi looks appreciative of Beetle catching her (Beetle, not so much). In the comics, they were a couple during the Niceiza run of ''Thunderbolts''.
* PutOnABus: Ant-Man's gone, having left when the Avengers started drifting apart. JARVIS is also gone, now replaced by FRIDAY.
* TheQuietOne: Beetle doesn't say a word, which Cap comments on.
-->'''Captain America:''' Let me guess, you're the quiet type.
* RightHandVersusLeftHand: The Avengers find themselves all having infiltrated AIM, but nearly end up attacking each other because they didn't tell one another.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Thanks to the time spent apart, the Avengers are off their game through the episode, tripping over one another through the fight.
