Nick Gant (played by Chris Evans) is a protagonist in Push.
A Mover with telekinetic abilities who goes into hiding in Hong Kong after his father's death. He reunites with his former lover Kira and orchestrates a complex resistance plan to dismantle the Division. Nick coordinates allies, fakes his death with a decoy syringe, and ultimately saves Kira while securing a future free from Division control. Cassie Holmes (played by Dakota Fanning) is a protagonist in Push.
A teenage Watcher with precognitive abilities who initiates Nick's involvement by seeking his help to locate Kira. She plays a crucial tactical role by finding the locker key, coordinating Nick's allies, and helping execute his apparent death scheme. She is also the daughter of Elizabeth/Sarah Frank, the true mastermind behind the Division's downfall. Kira Hudson (played by Camilla Belle) appears in Push.
A Pusher who is the only successful test subject for the Division's reality-altering drug. After stealing a syringe and going on the run, she reunites with Nick and becomes the primary target of Carver and the Triad.

A ruthless Division agent and Pusher who orders the death of Nick's father and relentlessly hunts Kira for the experimental drug. He manipulates his own agents, defeats Nick physically, and brainwashes Kira, but ultimately falls victim to Kira's Push abilities when she discovers his deception and is ordered to kill him. Hook Waters (played by Cliff Curtis) appears in Push.
A Shifter with the ability to alter his physical appearance. He assists Nick and Cassie in tracking Kira and plays a vital supporting role in Nick's resistance plan by creating a convincing duplicate of the experimental drug syringe. Pinky Stein (played by Nate Mooney) appears in Push.
