Warning: This list contains spoilers for Ms. Marvel!
The finale of Disney+'s Ms. Marvel has fans coming up with theories about the brave new characters. The shows have been host to expanded stories for existing heroes and villains that viewers have known for years but the true highlight lies in those who have been introduced for the first time thanks to these shows.
While a handful of these new characters have been villains or antagonists, the rest have been incredibly brave given their circumstances. Some have powers that help them while others simply stand up for what's right, yet all have proven to be courageous.
Billy & Tommy (WandaVision)
Billy and Tommy make their first appearance in WandaVision, although they also show up again in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. They are born as a result of Wanda's magic, and at first, it seems that Wanda, Vision and the boys are living a happy, family life.
However, after the reveal of Agatha as the evil witch, Billy and Tommy find themselves in dangerous situations. Despite everything, the boys show their bravery in sticking up for their mom however they can. They fight Agatha and try their best to make their way back to Wanda and Vision, even if there are complications. At the end of the day, they're just kids, but they try their best to put on a brave face when it matters.
Maya Lopez (Hawkeye)
Maya is a complex character. Although she starts out as an antagonist in Hawkeye, working for the Tracksuit Mafia, it's clear that her past and motives are far more complicated than initially believed.
She's still suffering from the murder of her father and initially turns her anger towards Hawkeye, believing he is the reason her dad is dead. After learning the truth, she turns her revenge on Wilson Fisk, a mission that is sure to be dangerous. She's incredibly talented in martial arts and relies on her other senses as she is deaf. It's already been announced that she's getting her own show under her alias, Echo, so fans can expect more from her soon.
Ayo (The Falcon And The Winter Soldier)
Although Ayo was seen in some movies, her first true appearance of note was in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. She appeared a few episodes into the series, in a scene where she confronts Bucky Barnes. Although her role seems small compared to other major players, she had an undeniable impact on Bucky. Ayo is part of the Dora Milaje, Wakanda's all-female special forces, automatically making her braver than most.
She's shown helping Bucky to break free from his mind control put in place by HYDRA. Ayo fearlessly calls off Bucky's trigger words and is clearly unafraid of what could happen. She reappears later in the series to take custody of Zemo and bring him back to Wakanda. Her power and strength as a soldier of Wakanda are true indicators of her bravery.
Mobius M. Mobius (Loki)
Mobius is a TVA (Time Variance Authority) agent who specializes in the investigation of dangerous time criminals. He spends most of his time hunting down those causing chaos in the timeline and restoring the timeline to its original plan.
Through the series, fans watch as he and Loki bond despite their first interaction and even become friends. He wastes no time in jumping head first into danger if it'll save other people. He's not phased by Loki's power (or Loki's narcissism), or significance in his own timeline. Mobius also goes against the TVA and his training to do what he thinks is right, something that takes incredible bravery, to go against everything he was taught.
Sarah Wilson (The Falcon And The Winter Soldier)
Sam Wilson's sister, Sarah, is introduced as a no-nonsense, widowed mother to two boys. She juggles running the Wilson family businesses and raising her boys, all while struggling financially.
Sarah is threatened by the Flag Smashers when Karli says she'll kill Sam Wilson, to which Sarah promptly ignores her and calls Sam. Its clear from her introduction in this series that she provides Sam with the familiar support that he needs, Sarah is always a phone call away, even if her own life is incredibly busy. She's unafraid of Bucky Barnes as well, something Bucky isn't used to. Sarah might not be a superhero, but her everyday bravery is inspiring.
Joaquín Torres (The Falcon And The Winter Soldier)
Joaquín only appears briefly in The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, but it's implied he'll have a bigger role going forward. He's a First Lieutenant in the Air Force, which is how he met Sam Wilson. Joaquín survived the Blip and talks about the difficulties he faced during those five years.
In the series, fans watch as he helps Sam investigate the Flag Smashers and their motives, even tracking them down himself in the middle of a bank robbery. He doesn't hesitate throughout the series when it comes to rescuing those in need. By the end of the series, Sam hands the Falcon suit to him, implying he has big things in his future.
Nakia Bahadir (Ms. Marvel)
Nakia is Kamala Khan's best friend. She holds true to her beliefs and doesn't let anyone sway her, an example of her bravery. She also becomes a board member for the Islamic Masjid of Jersey City.
After being questioned about Night Light, Nakia is shaken. She initially is mad at Kamala for not telling her the truth about her being Night Light, however when it came to the final battle against Damage Control, she puts her anger aside to help her friend, something that takes bravery to put her own emotions second in order to do what's right. She has a lot of potential as a character, fans are hoping she makes a reappearance in the future.
Kate Bishop (Hawkeye)
After surviving the Battle of New York as a child, Kate idolizes Hawkeye. She begins archery training and becomes a master at it, using her skills for combat sports and awards. However, after falling into an attack by the Tracksuit Mafia, she finds herself in the world of superheroes and vigilantes and even teams up with her childhood hero, Hawkeye.
Kate's arguably one of the more relatable superheroes out there. She's a little awkward, eager, and wants to do what's right. She wasn't trained for the superhero lifestyle and struggles with it, but often proves everyone wrong. She doesn't back away from a fight or a situation, even when she really should, and always tries to do the morally correct thing.
Marc Spector / Moon Knight (Moon Knight)
Marc Spector, a former U.S. Marine, has been through a lot. Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder as a result of his trauma, his brother drowned when they were both young, and he was abused by his mother growing up. Marc's psyche formed an alter known as Steven Grant.
Surviving his childhood trauma and carrying on to hope and live and love is a testament to his bravery. Marc and his alter egos try to do what's best in the given situation, even if it's difficult and overwhelming for them. His bravery is in both the big scenes where he's fighting an enemy and the small scenes, where he's fighting himself and trying to decide what's the best thing to do.
Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel (Ms. Marvel)
Introduced in the titular series Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan is a mutant. She is a super fan of the Avengers, and much like her heroes, finds herself defending those she loves from her enemies.
She quickly learns that being a superhero isn't everything she dreamed of, and has to manage her disappointment and her responsibilities. There are several moments in the series that showcase her true bravery, from standing up to her parents, to fighting for what's right, making her the perfect example of a superhero. She makes the right decisions, even if she doesn't always understand or agree, and she tries her best to do what's right.
