IRON MAN / TONY STARK - portrayed as a billionaire businessman who operates as a superhero using powered armor. He is also one of the founding members of the Avengers and the CEO of Stark Industries. Tony Stark, the man behind Iron Man, is known for his genius, billionaire status, and former playboy lifestyle, all while being a philanthropist. HULK / BRUCE BANNER - Bruce is a genius as an expert in gamma radiation. He is overly sarcastic by guessing Hawkeye's joke. After having exposed to the gamma bomb he gained another personality that is monstrous, called the Hulk, that he can change into after his heart rate goes at a certain point by getting too stressed. He tries to maintain his heart rate by calming himself down, but it seems that he's able to bring out Hulk by will alone (it could be theorized that Bruce's heart rate is something he cannot always control, thus he can sometimes bring out the Hulk not by his will). Bruce cares for people especially ones that have been radiated with gamma rays, even trying to help Absorbing Man. Bruce distrusts S.H.I.E.L.D., as he thinks that they will use the gamma radiated mutants as weapons of mass destruction for themselves. As the Hulk, he is very brutish especially when he transformed the first times, causing the destruction of his surroundings and beating anything in his path. After some time, Hulk started respecting people and had the thought of helping them instead of hurting them, such as when the Hulk rescued Hawkeye's men from a helicopter crash. Hulk can talk with Bruce as his dormant persona and decided to join the Avengers to help innocent people and show them that he can be good in exchange for staying as the Hulk.Hulk is very egotistical when it comes to his fighting prowess, regularly calling himself the strongest there is and laughing at Hawkeye when he said he could take him down. He is also very gruff, and sometimes grumpy, and very rarely shows any emotion other than anger, though he does have a soft side. He can get along with people very well, but can be easily irritated by others if they think that Hulk is only a monster. Hulk has a trait to call people by nicknames that he comes up with, like calling Thor "Goldilocks" and Hawkeye "Cupid". THOR ODINSON - Thor is portrayed as a powerful and honorable Asgardian god, initially arrogant and prideful due to his immense power and status as a god. He is brave, courageous, and willing to defend Asgard and the nine realms. The series also explores Thor's growth and development, showing him learning humility and understanding the value of teamwork with the other Avengers. WASP / JANET VAN DYME - Wasp is enthusiastic about being an Avenger, and crime fighting in general. She appears shallow and self-absorbed at times, but beneath it all she is a compassionate person who is willing to reach out to others in need, and genuinely cares about others. An opinionated individual, Wasp is not afraid to share what is on her mind and firmly stands up for what she believes. She likes to have fun and hates being bored. She is laid back and light hearted, and finds seriousness stifling. She is also likes to talk smack to her enemies. Despite being an adult, she has shown some very childish behavior, such as when she mimicked Hulk's angry face and stuck her tongue out then turned away. CAPTAIN AMERICA / STEVE ROGERS - democracy. He fought HYDRA and the Red Skull very bravely in WWII until he fell on ice and frozen for decades. As he woke up, he mistook the Avengers as HYDRA agents until the truth was revealed to him by Wasp. After realizing the truth, he went into stupor and put down his shield. He finally went back to battle as he fought Zemo, former leader of HYDRA. He now fights beside the Avengers to make a better world. Captain America has the ability to talk to anyone in a calm matter, hero or villain. His speeches are known to inspire others and often turn the tide of a battle. With Hulk once, he surprised Hulk with his word (hero) he used to describe him and drove him to fight harder by inspiring him to smash more HYDRA goons, much to Hulk's delight. It is possible that this trait made Tony Stark believe that he would be a better suited leader than himself. He seems to have very strong political views, possibly due to his original birth year taking place during World War II. Steve's sense of justice made him a more difficult opponent to defeat while fighting villains, mainly because, he knew if he failed, the Earth's people and fate would be doomed. One of his most defining moments was when he fought against the Skrull impostor of him during the Skrull invasion, taking place shortly after his escape from his Skrull captors. He could have given up, due to the many hits he sustained. But instead, he continued to fight and even gave another speech about human's and their overall selves, possibly to encourage himself. BLACK PANTHER / T’CHALLA - T'Challa is a man of responsibilities. He felt guilty for not saving his father, T'Chaka, from Man-Ape's wrath in the challenge of the throne of Wakanda. He dons his new Black Panther suit to go to the outside world for help. He also seems to have a less traditional and more liberal view than his tribe, as he did not listen to the tribe's customs to follow Man ape after he defeated his father since tradition says they need to follow the leader no matter who they are. In addition, he does not believe in cutting off contact with the outside world but instead need to open themselves up or else make themselves vulnerable. He believes in maintaining a close eye on his comrades, which to some may imply that he doesn't trust them as much as he should. HAWKEYE / CLINT BARTON - Hawkeye is cocky and very confident in himself, evident when he admitted to Chemistro that he had punched several supervillains in their faces. Hawkeye has a jokey nature as well, evident mostly while in battle. His constant jokes are not seen as a distraction to others and often either ignored or smiled upon by his comrades. He is very sarcastic, even in the midst of battle when Abomination strangled him which Hawkeye sarcastically begged the latter to brush his teeth. During a citywide battle against Kang, Hawkeye sarcastically told Captain America that he was out of arrows, but could still throw rocks at the giant robots destroying the city. It is highly speculated and proven that he was being sarcastic during this short conversation, as it is highly known that rocks would most likely do very little damage to the robots, if any at all. He also has a tendency to correct others, often at the most suspenseful of times. He was convicted of being a Skrull by Ms. Marvel, who later fought by his side during the Skrull's invasion on the planet. While fighting them off with her, he reminded her of when she accused him and that this event proved him to not be one at all. He seems to have been satisfied when she told him that she would apologize if they won the battle and survived. CAPTAIN MARVEL / MS. MARVEL / CAROL DANVERS - Before becoming a superhero, Carol was dedicated in her work and achievements, never allowing the antics of others like Wasp to distract her or others from their more important and urgent matters. She believed in keeping a professional level in dealing with other coworkers. Even without powers, she was shown to be brave and bold, even questioning to bring in any of the other Avengers outside of Wasp and Ant-Man. Only when a situation seemed disastrous did she even consider changing her mind. She protected and helped others. She was shown to have a dry wit and that she has a short temper. She also seems to be quick to judge others. In that she is not unlike Janet Van Dyne. Her personality is practically the same as her comic book incarnation's own. SPIDER-MAN - Peter is a gifted academic student with considerable expertise in many fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering. With these skills, he was able to create his artificial web fluid, his web-shooters, and other Spider-Man equipment. His scientific knowledge has often been used to defeat his adversaries when his powers are not sufficient enough. Academically gifted, he is a brilliant individual, with exceptional skill in practically every field of science, and is an excellent inventor. He is an accomplished chemist and physicist. Peter is a very skilled photographer. Before his superpowers he was shy, a marked inferiority complex, and a fear of women. He was shy, nerdy, anti-social, and accident-prone. When he gained his powers, Peter was arrogant, selfish and indifferent. When he didn't receive the prize for his victory in a fight, he let a thief get away simply to take revenge, saying that it wasn't his problem. However, after discovering that his selfishness made him indirectly responsible for his Uncle Ben's death,Peter decided to use his powers to become a hero, never turning his back on anyone again. Agonizing over his choices, always attempting to do right, he is nonetheless viewed with suspicion by the authorities, who seem unsure as to whether he is a helpful vigilante or a clever criminal. Spider-Man's plight was to be misunderstood and persecuted by the very public that he swore to protect. J. Jonah Jameson, publisher of The Daily Bugle, launches an editorial campaign against the "Spider-Man menace." Despite the negative publicity and public reception, Peter continued on with his superheroics knowing that the job needed to be done whether people appreciated him or not. When wearing the costume, he becomes more extroverted and more talkative while making witty jokes as opposed to his more introverted, nerdy persona as Peter. However, when the times comes, he does become very serious. CYCLOPS - Cyclops takes his position on the X-Men very seriously, which sometimes gets him into a few conflicts with Wolverine who doesn't always obey his orders. He tends to be stoic, a bit uptight, and believes in doing things by the book, such as when he questions Professor Xavier about breaking into the Mutant Control Registration office to destroy the mutant files. He cares about his teammates greatly and has often regretted the decision he made when he left Beast and Morph behind during the Sentinel attack, which made him vow never to leave anyone behind again. There are also times when he can admit when he has made a mistake and tries to make things right for the team. Cyclops has an aura of authority and compassion and is very charismatic, extremely skilled at making decisions under pressure. Additionally, he seems to view Beast as a brother-figure and seems to love Jubilee, Rogue and Storm like sisters, hinting that he regards all the X-Men as family. His compassionate, sympathetic side is displayed when he goes back to the orphanage he once lived in and comforts a teen boy named Rusty, who is struggling with his pyrokinesis. He believes Rusty when the boy tells him that the man fostering him is dangerous, relating to him in the fact that he also has a hard time controlling his powers and that when he was growing up, he was unwanted by people who turned him away due to his mutation. Scott as a result goes and rescues Rusty and all the other mutant children from The Purple Man, showing how deeply he cares for others despite saying in that episode that he was sick of caring. He additionally shows his compassion and sympathy for Jubilee when he goes to talk to her foster parents about her mutant powers and her being kidnapped by the Sentinels, assuring the both of them, "You've done nothing wrong . . . you just wanted to help her . . . and you have." Him wanting to talk with Jubilee's foster family could be because he knows what it's like to not have a home and to feel rejected by people due to his own mutant powers that he struggles with controlling. BARON ZEMO - Zemo is a power-hungry and ambitious man. He longed to take over the world with the help of the Enchantress. And he'll do anything to make it happen. He served Amora even though he knew that she would betray him the second he was done completing her plan. He was also the first to notice something suspicious about Captain America when the Skrulls replaced him.
