Magness Prime

Magness Prime is a cocky but well-meaning man who, as an adult, remains attached to the things he loved as a child. His room in the Milano has a number of objects from Earth, he greatly cherishes his 'tunes'—his cassette player being a gift from his late mother—, and often makes references to Earth culture, even if his teammates don't understand them. His Shadow-Moon alias comes from his favorite band, and his jacket still bears their logo patch from his childhood. Magness loves "cool" or "awesome" things and tries to come across as such; however, he is oftentimes clumsy, and his piloting skills—according to his teammates—leave much to be desired. Despite his troubled past, Magness remains a positive person—such as assuming the better of Uzukor unintelligible words, or generally looking on the bright side of things—and isn't shy to compliment those he knows, such as Cooper's gizmos, Aderia skills, Uzukor level-headedness, etc. It doesn't mean he is unaffected, however. Most notably, and perhaps stemming from his paternal abandonment, Magness is emotionally immature, promiscuous (dangerously so, since "half the girls" he has dated have tried to kill him), and rarely owning up to his mistakes. Peter has also admitted to once having suicidal urges during his imprisonment by the Chitauri and mentions several times that he hopes to never see them again, even twelve years after the war.
