  • Low-key one: the fact that the majority of Mooks that you fight in this game are "AIM bots".
  • How does the Hulk greet Thor when he arrives to help defend the Hellicarrier? By chucking a giant AIM bot in his general direction.
  • Kamala sees the Chimera's botanical garden and thinks they should grow some herb. Then she lists off perfectly ordinary spices.
  • You can stumble across a pair of soda machines in the Chimera. This exchange ensues:
    Kamala: Two soda machines?!
    JARVIS: The second one was installed at Mr. Odinson's request. It dispensed mead. There used to be a sign.
  • Many of Iron Man's quotes when using Heroics are bound to elicit chuckles.
    Iron Man [summoning the Hulkbuster]: Bustin' makes me feel good! It's a song, look it up!
  • On the bridge, Hulk smashes a bunch of mooks, flipping their tank into the air and catching it. The driver is then at the mercy of the big green, and awaits to be savaged, only for the former to dispose of him by casually kicking him away like a soccer ball.
    Unfortunate Mook: Oh, shi-- *PUNT*
  • Early in the campaign, after Kamala finds the all-but-abandoned Helicarrier in the Utah desert, she and Bruce set out to find Jarvis. A short scene of the two driving to the Pacific Northwest is pretty much solely there for comic relief, with neither of them saying a word. It opens with Kamala sipping an enormous Big Gulp-like drink, looking every bit like the goofy kid she is. Then she pokes the Hulk bobblehead on the dashboard, and it squeaks. She finishes her drink and vigorously shakes the cup, now just full of ice, to which Bruce glares at her, annoyed. Then Kamala changes the radio from a staticky weather report to "I Don't Care" by Icona Pop and does a little dance, before Bruce switches the radio back to static in an overwhelmingly passive-aggressive manner. In response, Kamala stares daggers at him and, in the words of the in-game subtitles, "slurps her drink loudly in Bruce's direction."
    • Bruce's body language in this scene practically screams "Don't get angry over her harmless actions, but mercy she is making it difficult.".
    • Afterwards, when prepping for a mission to the tundra, JARVIS announces that he will prepare a Quinjet, to Bruce's mild surprise. Kamala asks if he just wanted to go on another road trip, to which Bruce replies:
  • Also early in the campaign, when Kamala is running from Hulk in the Chimera, she panics upon getting cornered and punches him in the chest. Hulk's reaction is to literally look down at his chest in a moment of brief confusion, wondering if it was meant to hurt; before taking back Captain America's shield (because he thought she was stealing it), roar at her, and leave.
    • The entire chase started because Kamala picked up Cap's shield...and held onto it in sheer terror when Hulk came charging at her.
  • When Kamala comments to Tony that she actually enjoyed meeting him despite his initial hostility (mainly with Bruce), Tony questions how. She says that her other first meetings so far were pretty terrible. Monica and Tarleton kidnapped her, Hulk tried to kill her (again, shield), and Bruce took her blood while she was unconscious. Tony then says the secret to being popular appears to be surrounding yourself with people that have low expectations.
    • Bruce then gives a halfhearted laugh in the background, clearly a little ashamed that he did that.
  • Kamala reveals to Tony that she guessed his password on a Resistance blog. Tony is impressed. Kamala retorts that it was "I AM IRON MAN". Tony, clearly amused, just says, "Really? Huh. I thought I changed that."
    • Immediately after, when Tiny Dancer warns them that AIM is coming, Tony starts running around the mansion for spare Iron Man suit parts to put on after AIM and Tarleton come knocking. Tony's comments as the mansion turns into a battleground are hilarious. He also has the opportunity to comment on the portraits of his ancestors and what they would think of the current moment. One of them has him saying, "Don't judge me, grandpa. I'm doing my best."
      • Tony finds a relative's old plane. He calls it a thing of beauty, but "[c]an't say the same for her [said relative]."
  • Black Widow laments having to break cover in order to save Kamala.
    "What am I doing? I don't even like kids."
  • Right before the final battle with MODOK, Cap is caught in such a high-stress situation at one point that he actually swears. "Shit!" Tony is both thrown for a loop and highly amused.
  • Some post-game interactions when each of the Avengers enters Kamala's room:
    • Apparently, Bruce is not too impressed with a bobble-head version of the Hulk, despite the fact that he has one in his RV.
    • If Captain America enters Kamala's room, he notices a burger on her desk and questions how long has it been sitting there. When she tries to answer, he says it'd be better if he doesn't know.
      • Earlier, he sees the costume ideas Kamala pinned up on her wall. Cap seems a bit jealous, noting that he didn't get to pick or design his own outfit.
    • If Thor enters Kamala's room, she asks why he's there and he replies if she somehow smuggled a puppy into her room. When she replies she doesn't have one, Thor responds "Oh. Can we get one?" in a tone suggesting that he doesn't want the other Avengers to know.
      • That "puppy" could end up being a Mythology Gag to Kamala's own dog in the comics, Lockjaw.
      • An earlier interaction has Thor admire a plushie in his likeness, delighted by its "tiny muscles".
      • Later, he asks which among the Avengers is Kamala's favorite. When she doesn't give an answer, Thor replies that he'll tell Tony that he's her favorite.
    • According to Tony, it's a rule that whenever there's a new Avenger added to the team roster, there's always going to be merchandise of them. Later, he tells Kamala that people will eventually be making bootleg t-shirts with her face on it. She takes it in stride, while Tony complains that nothing is good about lost revenue.
      • When he questions about an action figure of himself, Tony notes it has more articulation than his suit does in real life.
  • Examining Tony's chair as both Tony and Thor reveals that they all had rolling chairs, but a rolling chair race between the two that Tony cheated in lead to everyone getting their chairs confiscated.
    Tony: You cheat in one chair race and they steal your wheels!
    • "Taking AIM" has Tony admit to Kate that the reason why they don’t do them anymore is because last time they crashed into Steve.
  • If Thor enters Tony's room, he'll be mad at Tony for taking his rug.
  • Hank Pym shrinks an AIM Humongous Mecha the size of a building (a twin of one that was a boss fight not two minutes earlier) to the size of a chihuahua. And then picks it up by one of its legs. He comments that they're kinda cute in that state.
  • Just before the final battle when everyone is in their Starktech outfits, Kamala asks if Cap is going to say "Avengers Assemble!" The others say that they don't actually do that. So the game does it for them instead: by popping up the "Avengers Assemble!" achievement.
  • After Kamala clears the Hulk-themed game in order to get a comic, she can go talk to her dad and talks about the game. He proceeds to, jokingly, remark "with those skinny arms"? The funny part kicks in when you remember Kamala's super power.
  • In the ending, Kamala and Yusuf agree to keep her helping the Avengers secret (she does not officially become one until the Golden Ending) from her mother, but the postgame missions done afterward make it clear she found out regardless.
  • During the campaign, Kamala needs to destroy some security sensors on the Chimera, high on the wall.
    Kamala: How the heck am I supposed to reach them?
    Bruce: ...Really?
    Kamala: Oh right. Duh. Stretchy arms.
    • Kamala then talks about a fanfiction she wrote about the Avengers that parallels what she's doing right now. Bruce answers awkwardly, "Uh huh...? That's nice."
  • Some of the elevator dialogue. They include:
    • Tony regularly changes Steve's desktop background. Usually to clowns.
    • The girls are trying to overthrow Tony's control over the music selection.
    • Natasha misses Avengers Tower and its Jacuzzi tubs... while Hulk misses the pillow top beds.
    • Steve wants to learn about "shippers", but Natasha tells him not to look them up.
    • Tony wants Cap to help pull a prank on Kamala, but the former can instantly tell that Steve is a spy for them.
    • Tony tries an old "there's something on your cape" prank on Thor, but he doesn't fall for it. Tony laments that Thor takes the fun out of it.
    • Steve asks if Thor tried a certain pizza place in New York. Thor says he did... with pineapple. Steve dies a little on the inside.
    • Steve doesn't want to wrestle Hulk again after he broke his back.
    • Tony asks Thor if unicorns are real. Thor scoffs it off.
    • Thor has been stealing Natasha's ponytail holders. He claims the cat did it.
    • When Tony admits he misses being rich, Kamala notes he's bad at life lessons.
    • Tony tells Kamala he pees directly into the suit, much to her disgust.
    • Natasha asks Tony about a record, and he replies he doesn't want to talk about it.
    • Tony is off trying to license Thor's likeness for airbrushing so he be rich again.
    • According to Natasha, AIM thought that Tony was more pathetic alive than wanting him dead. Tony's... offended at that.
    • Tony bluntly tells Kamala that having Cap as a leader is unbearable.
    • When Natasha asks Kate about her old bike, she sheepishly tells her she painted it purple and lost it in a bet against LA bikers.
    • Kate is offended there aren't a lot of shipping fics of her.
    • Steve doesn't want to tell Bruce that he's hogging the hot water.
    • Kate respects Clint's gear... but not the man wielding them.
  • Apparently, Tony signed Cap up for a dating site... for senior citizens.
    • Tony claims that he just put in Cap's birth date and it automatically registered him as an elderly. Whether or not he's lying is up for interpretation.
  • Upon seeing a whole bunch of robots lying around in scrap, Tony asks if Kate Bishop brought a wrecking crew.
    Kate: Yeah. Me.
  • Kate's exchange with the Super Adaptoid:
    Super Adaptoid: Tampering with Project Omega is forbidden. You will be terminated.
    Kate: How about a rain check?
    Super Adaptoid: It is not raining. Prepare to die.
    • Funnily enough, there is a tachyon storm happening outside AIM's facility at that time, but no rain.
  • In the post-game of "Taking AIM", Kamala asks Kate if she ever met Captain Marvel. Apparently, she did... in the bathroom.
  • If the player ventures into the Chimera’s lounge are after completing the opening mission of “Future Imperfect” then they will be treated to another of Phil Sheldon’s reports on the Avengers’ activities, noting with sheer disbelief that all of Clint’s neighbours are claiming that they didn’t see or hear any of the fighting. The only witness who was willing to provide a quote was a man wearing a tracksuit who simply said “Bro. No comment, bro.”
  • During the "War of Wakanda" story, there is optional dialogue with Black Panther that mentions he is hurt that Shuri didn't invite him to join a group chat of hers. When Clint adds she didn't add him in either, T'Challa adds that doesn't make him feel better.
    • Tony later adds he is offended he can't get into it either. In this instance, T'Challa is glad.
    • Spider-Man is also in the chat. T'Challa is exasperated at the fact that she doesn't even know his name and he's just listed as "That Spider Guy."
  • The fact that, apparently, Peter, Kamala, Kate and presumably Shuri started a D&D campaign.
  • A conversation between Cap and Mighty Thor(Jane Foster) has Cap worried that the SHIELD agents might be afraid of her. When she asks Steve to clarify, he says the he's overheard them murmuring about her... stepping on them.
