Adrien Émile Gabriel Donatien Athanase Agreste (born February, the 13th 1998), currently known as Iron Cat is Jake Thompson and Michael Green's best friend, Gabriel Agreste's only son, Marinette Dupain-Cheng's love interest and boyfriend and Anti-Storm's first and only host. He becomes Iron Cat in Season 4.
Physical appearance
Adrien Agreste is a Caucasian teenage male with green eyes and has blonde hair. He wears a white unzipped hoodie over a black shirt with yellow green and pink stripes, blue jeans and red and white sneakers.
As Black Suit Chargeshock, he looks the same as Chargeshock, but he wears a black and white suit. After the Storm sample takes over, he looks the same but with a more muscular and bulking build. He has a mouth and sharp teeth.
As Iron Cat, he wears a black cat iron suit which gives him powers.
As Anti-Storm, he is all white with a black lightning emblem covering most of his back and chest, followed by what seems to be a black mask with red-orange eyes.
Personality
At first, Adrien looks like a stereotypical spoiled rich kid, who thinks he can always buy his way out of things and use money to solve his problems. However, he's playful, witty, outgoing, approachable and naturally charming, as everyone adores him. And once you get to know him better, he is kind and always full of concern for the people he cares about. According to Marinette, this is one of the reasons why she fell in love with him.
He's also loyal to them, for instance, despite his father being the villain, Shadow Moth, he will still try to save and prevent his father from going into further danger. This is further shown after he becomes a hero to save his father from Vulture and Doctor Tarantula and even save Marinette from the Hurricane sample, Morbius the Living Vampire, Ocean Master and Lex Luthor.
Adrien has always looked for his father's approval but was usually either brushed off or ignored. His need of money seems to have come from his father always giving him money and telling him that it can solve all of his problems. However, after Gabriel reformed, the two of them started getting along very well and Gabriel allowed his son to join Dr. Maddie Connors' Academy.
Adrien once was so mad at Jake and Michael, he threw a huge party at his house just to show them that he didn't need them when in real life, he just wanted their attention. Adrien had yet to discover that money and wealth do not buy happiness and money cannot solve his problems. Adrien has been shown to feel neglected everytime Jake's teammates interrupt their conversations and "borrow" him to talk. This may bring him to realize that Jake and Michael really are his only friends, since Jake was one of the few people who supported him and was there for him to help him out after his mother passed away. However, he is shown to have finally gotten along with his teammates like Danny Núñez.

Relationships
Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug: Marinette had a starry-eyed crush on him before they got together. She had a habit of going full fangirl whenever he was around, often creating hilariously awkward moments mid-battle. Adrien found her antics endearing but confusing. After the two of them started dating, Adrien became a much more supportive boyfriend and thought that Marinette showering him with affection, compliments and gifts was adorable. He even started being flirty and affectionate around her.
Jake Thompson/Chargeshock: Jake is Adrien's best friend and the brotherly figure that Adrien desperately needed. Although Adrien felt abandoned every time Jake ignored him for too long and tried to demonstrate his independence, he eventually realized that Jake was between the few who offered him real support after his mother's death. Currently, Adrien is loyal to Jake till the end, considering him his moral "anchor", even if sometimes their competitive spirit brings out small ironies or friendly disputes during missions.
