Roaring Twenties Mafia AU

Maximoff Twins: Russian orphan immigrants, hired by the Hydra Gang as the youngest hitman and hitwoman in America. Wanda dresses in ruby flapper gear.

After Pietro is gunned down in a gang fight, Wanda ends up in a mental institution. She is “rescued” by....

Hawkeye: Low-level mob sniper, who turned to crime to support his family. His wife Laura turns a blind eye to her husband’s dark work, but it’s eating away at her day by day.

Steve Rogers: Like many WWI vets, he couldn’t find legitimate work, and turned to crime. At first wanting to protect the innocent, he started a vigilante gang, consisting of himself, Bucky, Hawkeye, Sam and Wanda. However, Steve’s ideas of “heroism” were often extreme, and self-centered. His old flame Peggy Carter distances herself from him and marries someone else. Steve has a brief affair with her underage niece Sharon, before admitting he’s in love with Bucky.

Sam Wilson: Ex-Airforce pilot from WWI, Sam went to crime for the same reason as Hawkeye. Sam wants to keep crime and danger to a minimum for the most part, but feels lucky enough to have any place to stay and work that he can never ultimately stand up to Steve.

Bucky Barnes: Shell-shocked vet and childhood friend of Steve Rogers, he is one of New York’s most vicious hitmen for years, before Steve finds and recruits him for his gang. After Steve’s radical antics make things worse though, Bucky jumps ship to the Black Panther gang, and takes the new hitman name White Wolf. And yes, he killed Tony’s parents, and in this ‘verse he might actually have been partially in control of himself when he did it. Things are gonna get ugly.

Tony Stark: Rival gang leader to Steve Rogers, ruling New York City, Tony specializes in inventing and selling weapons, among other items like cars and radios. This in addition to the obvious business of booze, naturally. Once extremely reckless, he now believes in doing things the careful business way, and is continuously frustrated by Steve’s erratic “vigilante” antics (that often make things much worse).

Peter Parker: Adorkable newsie orphan, eager to help Mr. Stark with his “business,” without knowing its full dark extent

Jarvis: Tony’s butler, who gets shot and killed during a gang fight

Pepper Potts: Tony’s secretary, and later wife. Because this is the mafia, he isn’t very faithful to her.

Friday: Tony’s new secretary, and mistress Stephen Strange: Back-alley doctor, willing to patch up injured gangsters, and give birth control to women. (Note: “Birth control” does not necessarily mean abortion; in the 1920s, literal birth control was literally illegal.) After Tony and Steve’s gangs go to war, Strange declares himself uninvolved and willing to treat both sides, but clearly has a bias towards Tony. Yes, they are also screwing around.

T��Challa: Second-generation immigrant from Wakanda, he lives in a Wakandan-American neighborhood, where everyone wears Wakandan-styled 1920s outfits. After his father is killed, he takes over the Black Panther gang. He causes some controversy when he takes in Bucky Barnes, the first ever white boy to join the Black Panther gang.

Nakia: Enthusiastic dancer, feminist and Civil Rights activist, Nakia is constantly urging T’Challa to take his efforts beyond self-serving crime, and urges him to use his power and influence for more important and selfless matters

Okoye: Badass hit-woman disguised as a flapper

Shuri: Spunky flapper girl and inventor, brilliant mechanic, loyal to her big brother’s Black Panther gang. She ends up with the white newsie Peter Parker, and things get complicated from there.

Everett Ross: Low-level Prohibition Agent, who ends up getting corrupted and working as a double-agent for the Black Panther gang, feeding them info on the FBI from within

Ulysses Klaue: Weapons dealer who tries to rob both Tony Stark and Erik Killmonger. He doesn’t last long.

Erik Killmonger: T’Challa’s bitter cousin, determined to take over the Black Panther gang for himself, and make the entire crimminal underworld far more violent

Natasha Romanoff: Femme fatale flapper of the sultry Jordan Baker variety, who is secretly one of the deadliest hit-women and spies in the country. She works for...

Nick Fury: The ultimate boss of all the bosses, ruling all organized crime in America. Or trying to anyway. The black eyepatch and coat are now accompanied by a matching fedora.

Ava Starr: Enthusiastic dancer at speak-easies, she is secretly dying of an illness that she needs to buy medicine illegally for. To afford this, she works as a spy and bootlegger.

Thor: World-famous heavyweight boxing champion, who, while not a member of any gang, is “affiliated” with several, due in no small part to his love for booze and his willingness to rough people up for money. .

Loki: Thor’s sketchier adopted brother, trying to worm his way into politics using every illegal method imaginable and then some. He also has the hots for Tony Stark.

Bruce Banner: shell-shocked WWI vet who developed a split personality from his trauma. His main personality, Bruce Banner, works in a lab brewing illegal alcohol for Tony Stark’s business. His other personality, “the Hulk,” is a feared hitman and part-time boxer (often pitted against Thor)

Thaddeus Ross: Radical Prohibition Agent, who really has it in for Bruce Banner. Ultra-conservative, he embodies all the common bigotries of the ‘20s up to infinity. He despises the 19th Amendment, the flapper movement, and jazz.

Betty Ross: Thaddeus’s innocent yet surprisingly rebellious daughter. She has an affair with Bruce Banner, and continues to help him and others in illegal dealings against her psychotic father.

Peggy Carter: One of the first female lawyers in America, she helped Steve out of sticky spots years ago. But as he’s grown more extreme and violent, she’s distanced herself from him, much to his chagrin. Eventually, she wants nothing more than to put all of these other characters behind bars.

Sharon Carter: Peggy’s underage niece, who Steve has an affair with, because Mafia show.

Peter Quill: Captain of a rum-running boat, delivering illegal booze from foreign countries. He does a lot of business with Stark’s gang.

Rocket Raccoon and Groot: Classic bootleggers

Gamora: Everyone things she’s Quill’s moll, but it’s more the other way around. She is so the one in charge.

“Mantis:” Innocent, Asian immigrant, who was initially manipulated into working for the vicious crime lord Ego, but now has better work aboard Peter Quill’s rum-running ship. She is an adorable bubbly flapper, who earned the nickname “Mantis” due to her cute yet feisty nature.

Drax: Heavyweight champion turned hitman, whose wife and daughter were killed by Thanos’s gang

Jane Foster: A young woman going to college for science, and fighting sexism at every turn. She’s not really interested in the flapper culture, but is very big on suffrage and feminism. She falls in love with Thor, but dumps him after gradually learning about his involvement with crime, and deciding she can’t handle that.

Darcy Lewis: Jane’s flapper roommate, who ends up having affairs with damn near everyone, male and female.

Erik Selvig: Swedish immigrant and Jane and Darcy’s professor at college, he ends up having some dealings with the mob, and was once blackmailed into brewing booze for Loki’s business; but overall Erik has managed to keep his hands relatively clean for the most part.

Scott Lang: Bootlegger and heist expert who mostly works for the Pym/Van Dyne family speakeasy. He was briefly a part of Steve Rogers’ gang, but after landing in prison for that, decided to stick to small-time crime.

Hope Van Dyne: Businesswoman training to someday take over her parents’ speakeasy and booze trade

Carol Danvers: Female aviator and party-animal flapper, she enters the world of crime after discovering the corruption among the government she used to work for
