* Teddy is altruistic and dutiful, two traits that lend themselves to Teddy's chosen path as a superhero. He believes in doing the morally right thing, and he will go all out to make sure he accomplishes this goal. His highly-focused moral compass helps him to make the choices he feels are right in even complicated situations. He is also very brave, courageously facing frightening situations in order to do what he feels is right. Fortunately, he is also resilient, managing to carry on despite various extremely traumatic events - perhaps not overcoming them completely, but not letting them cripple him.
* Teddy is affectionate and loyal with the people around him, willing to do whatever it takes to support and protect the ones he cares about. This is noticeable with his teammates, particularly with his future boyfriend, Billy, who he risks death for on many occasions and never gives up on, even when others consider him dangerous.
* Teddy is confident and not at all self-conscious, remaining true to who he is without fear. He is very set in what and who he believes in, and who he is as a person, and won't allow negativity from others to get in his way. He has shown this on many occasions, including refusing to quit being a superhero despite being told to by a childhood hero and being open about his homosexuality, standing up for himself when harassed for it.
* Teddy is intelligent - despite his position as the team tank, and his jockish appearance, he defies both stereotypes and avoids being dumbed down or needing to be lead around by the nose. He's quick-witted and snappy, and has a very good vocabulary. He may be blond and sport a football player's build, but he's actually kind of a nerd.
Weaknesses
* Teddy's determination and dutiful personality often leaks over into stubbornness and rebellion. He can be incredibly hard-headed when he decides something, even if it isn't good in the long run. For example, he was unwilling to give up his teammates and boyfriend on Earth in order to attempt to put an end to the Skrull/Kree war, which has been raging for centuries.
* His loyalty and protective nature can occasionally become bullish overprotectiveness. While he generally lets people make their own decisions, if he feels that something has gone on long enough or isn't being done in a way he approves of, he can be very forceful about imposing his way of doing things.
* Teddy's courage can quickly become impusiveness and recklessness - he can occasionally thrust himself into conflicts that are very obviously over his head and make impulsive snap decisions without thinking things through clearly. For example, in canon he has, on various occasions, directly threatened Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Magneto, Quicksilver, and various others - most of whom could crush him easily. This isn't helped by the fact that his quick wits are often expressed as snarky sharp words, and he can come off as a bit of a smart-mouth when disagreeing with his elders.
