Mercenaries

     Deadpool's Peers 

     The Juggernaut 
The stepbrother of Charlus Storm, Kain Marko, found the Ruby of Cydorakk to become a being of immense strength and durability. Working as a sellsword, he eventually showed up in Mereen for a trick by the Wise Masters.
  • The Juggernaut: It took all of Dany's best warriors and her dragons and her using her fire powers in a new creative way to bring him down after a prolonged fight. After all, it is in his name.
  • Living MacGuffin: The mere fact that Dany has him makes all the great power players of Essos come to her to ask for his release to their power.
  • Might Makes Right: Considers himself the most powerful man in Essos. So, when hired to defend Mereen, he instead declares that he wants to be its new ruler as his true payment.

     Curson Connurs 
A disgraced Maester who turned to dark magic in an attempt to regrow his missing arm and underwent a horrifying transformation.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Believed that he could grow a new arm for himself by combining the healing properties of the Stone Men with the remnants of broken dragon eggs. It worked in the strictest sense, but it also turned him into a lizard man.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Immediately slaughtered by Kraven after his introduction in the arena.

     Kraven the Hunter: UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEAD! 
  • All for Nothing: For years, she trained and submitted herself to magical treatment to gain the strength and skill to take Gregor Clegane down and finally avenge her children — only for her efforts to be wasted in the end, since the Iron Man slaughtered the Mountain long before she could leave Essos.
  • Blood Knight: A pit fighter who craves more dangerous beasts to slaughter, so much that she's disappointed when she realizes she won't face a true dragon.
  • Covered with Scars: Her fellow pit fighters quickly stop heckling and hitting on her when she drops her towel and lets them see her ruined body.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Was married politically, and could never quite win her husband's heart. Then after the great rebellion, Aerys decided to kill the children because he thought they might be set up as an alternative to him in mad paranoia. But rather than die alongside them, she fled Westeros and, in guilt, became a great fighter trying to bury the guilt of leaving without her babies. Only, she can't, because she took the name Kraven to show how much she hates her decision.
  • Death Seeker: She's a challenge seeker not just because she's a Blood Knight, but because she wishes to be Together in Death with her children.
  • Gender Flip: This iteration of Kraven is a woman when the Hunter was very much male in the comics.
  • Meaningful Rename: Considers herself a "craven" for not dying with her babies, instead fleeing in Essos.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Since Gregor Clegane was lying his ass off about killing her and her children, she's still alive here.
  • That Man Is Dead: Almost assaults Osborn when the man tries to address her as Princess Elia Martell.

Pentos

     Illyrio Morpatis 
  • Badass Family: Based on Doom's discomfort, Illyrio is related to the Fantastic Four of this universe. It's later confirmed that Susan and Johnny are his bastard children.
  • The Ghost: Currently unseen despite his importance to Dany just before her chapters begin.

     Rickard Reed 
  • For Science!: Rickard turned his interests to first Maesterhood, then exploration and adventure alongside his true friends and intended.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Bruce of Tarth. When Brienne got sick, Reed was one of the first people Bruce turned to, and he even agreed to help in their journey to Valyria.
  • Rubber Man: First shows his trademark stretching powers through stretching his neck out to examine Daenerys' fire powers.
  • Unknown Relative: A distant member of the cadet branch of House Reed.

     Susun Storm 
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: While often disdained by some, Viktor considers Sue the MOST dangerous since turning invisible would make her able to act however she wanted and be a terrible assassin if she so desired.
  • Only Sane Man: Much like the comics, it's Susun who's the first to cut around her companions' quirkiness and remind them that they need to maintain decorum before a Queen.

     Jon Storm 
  • Love at First Sight: Jon might be a shameless flirt, but he was instantly attracted to Dany when he saw her own fires.

     Benjen the Grimstone 
  • Cursed with Awesome: Like so often, Benjen is now a living Rock Monster, and though it gives him great strength and endurance, he still is uncomfortable with how it constantly leads to ostracizing.

Other Free Cities

     Norman Osborn 
  • Evil Is Petty: Sent a toy with Grayscale to Shireen just because Davos decided to work for Stannis instead of him.
  • Number Two: The first recruited member of Ultron's chaos bringers in Westeros.
  • Super-Strength: Much stronger than he looks, with even Kraven the Hunter being taken aback by how much force his strikes carry.

Wakanda

     Prince T'Challa 
     N'Jadaka 

Other Locations

    Apocalypse 
  • Fisher King: His rotting body corrupts all Valyria so that those who stick around too long become monsters and guardians of the shattered peninsula.
  • Predecessor Villain: A Valyrian who gave himself so much power, all of Valyria united against him and TIED. He died, but so did everyone else.
