Savage Steel

Savage Steel is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Disillusioned by the justice system and what they viewed as its lenient stance on crime, a number of New York City Police Department officers came together to form an organization that would kill criminals, rather than simply jailing them. Calling themselves the "Cabal," the group commissioned Stane International to give them an edge in their crusade. Stane's company designed and manufactured a suit of powered armor, the "Savage Steel" battle-suit, based on technology stolen from Stark Enterprises. Different members of the Cabal all took turns wearing the suit, including Paul Trent and former members Harry Lennox, Johnny Leone, and Jimmy Zafar. Savage Steel was first seen battling Darkhawk and killed some drug dealers. Savage Steel then tried to kill the Punisher, battled the Punisher, Darkhawk, and weapons dealers. Savage Steel attacked Phillippe Bazin during his trial, and was revealed as Harry Lennox. The Cabal's creation of the Savage Steel identity is discovered. Darkhawk defeats the Cabal and most, but not all, of its members are taken into custody.

Police van driver Arthur Vale then steals the Savage Steel armor and adopts the Savage Steel identity. Vale attempted to gain new weaponry but was defeated by Iron Man, who regains and deactivates his stolen technology.

Jimmy Zafar rescued the imprisoned Cabal members Vale and Lennox and faked their deaths and his own. Vale, Lennox, Leone and Zafar join the Witness Relocation Program. Zafar later stole the rebuilt armor from renegade Stane technicians and adopted the Savage Steel identity. With Darkhawk as an ally, the new Savage Steel battled terrorists. He later attempted to aid Darkhawk against an invasion of Mahari space pirates led by Overhawk, but was knocked out of the fight. He met up with Darkhawk and his other allies after the battle.

Lt. Rafael 'Rafe' Scarfe is a fictional New York City Police Lieutenant in Marvel Comics. The character, created by Chris Claremont and Pat Broderick, first appeared in Marvel Premiere #23 (August 1975).

Rafe is a Vietnam War veteran who returned to New York to become a police officer. He grew close to his partner Misty Knight and when she lost her arm in a bomb explosion, Scarfe never left her side. He was a recurring ally of Iron Fist, and later Luke Cage when the two came together to form Heroes for Hire and teamed up with Misty and Colleen Wing, often helping them with cases and arresting the bad guys they fought. He even teamed up with Spider-Man ally Jean DeWolff.

Years later, in the Shadowland storyline, Scarfe later went rogue and tried to frame Daredevil for the murder of several criminals. He is later captured by his former partner Misty Knight.

During the "Gang War" storyline, Rafael Scarfe is revealed to be the leader of the Heat, a group of police officers operating in Hell's Kitchen. In addition, he receives aid from an anonymous benefactor who sent the assassin Bellona to help out the Heat. He was provided a prototype arm cannon to wear over his broken left arm Rafael Scarfe then tests the arm cannon on an attacking Elektra. When Rafael demands that Bellona arranges for her boss to hook the Heat up with the same arm cannons, Bellona gets annoyed with the demands and slices off his left arm. As Elektra fights against Bellona, Rafael is helped up by one of his men as he tells the Heat members present to grab what they can and flee. After the building comes down trapping some of the Heat members, Elektra knocks out Rafael upon Bellona getting away and leaves the incapacitated Heat members for the arriving police officers that have been sent by Mayor Luke Cage.

Scaleface

Scaleface is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Scaleface is a mutant that can turn into a large dragon-like reptilian creature. After the Morlock Massacre storyline, Scaleface, Blowhard, Berzerker, and Masque, part of The Tunnelers came up on Iceman and Beast. They incorrectly believe that the two X-Men were threatening Morlocks members Leech and Caliban. A fight breaks out, with Leech neutralizing the powers on both sides. Eventually, the group calms down with the urging of Scaleface. As a group, they join with the remnants of X-Factor and make their way to safety. It almost goes badly as Thor's funeral pyre for the dead Morlocks nearly roasts Scaleface and all of her old and new allies. Dissatisfied with the possibilities at X-Factor's HQ, they sneak out, disguised and claiming to be the X-Factor 'cleaning staff'. Scaleface urges restraint in this escape, not wanting to kill. Attempting to simply go home, they stumble upon the Savage Wolf gang. When it is clear they are mutants, the gang opens fire, killing Blow-Hard and wounding Masque. The confrontation swiftly escalates, leading to a cordon by the police. Again, Scaleface urges restraint, explaining how the cops simply want to defend their own, like the Morlocks have. Scaleface transforms in front of the cops, who frightened, open fire, killing her. Berzerker goes mad, deciding to kill every human who hates mutants. Cyclops confronts him and in the fight, Berzerker vanishes below the water, seemingly destroyed by his own powers.

Scaleface was later resurrected as a zombie by the Black Talon as part of the X-Humed along with other dead mutants Changeling, Living Diamond, and Harry Leland to fight She-Hulk. After She-Hulk defeats the zombies, Scaleface is given a proper burial, and magical charms are placed to keep her body from rising again.

However, Scaleface is among the dead mutants resurrected by the transmode virus that Selene sends to attack X-Force during the Necrosha storyline.

Scalphunter

Scalphunter (John Greycrow) is a fictional mutant villain character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Scalphunter is a member of the Comanche tribe of Native Americans who originally fought in World War II for the United States but was to be executed for murdering his fellow officers. He is shot by a firing squad and is believed dead. However, he survives and is found and recruited by enigmatic mastermind Mister Sinister early on. Later, apparently not working under Sinister, he kills the employer of the savage mutant Sabretooth and offers Sabretooth money to join Scalphunter's boss as a mercenary, which Sabretooth accepts.

Years later, he meets the thief Gambit; The Uncanny X-Men #324 reveals that Greycrow and Gambit were once co-workers at an Arizona diner, where they and waitress Claire De Luc comprised a trio of close friends. Gambit would later recruit Scalphunter as a member of the Marauders, a band of assassins operating under, by apparent coincidence, his one-time boss Sinister (and reuniting him with one-time ally Sabretooth, who was field leader for the loose team), who sends the Marauders to massacre the entire underground mutant community known as the Morlocks. He shoots young Morlock Tommy after using her to lead the group to "The Alley," the Morlock's home in the tunnels. Gambit apparently follows the Marauders, having learned of their intentions, and manages to save one Morlock, who will grow to be Marrow. As seen in flashback in Gambit (third series) #8, Gambit was appalled that Greycrow would be involved in such a massacre, suggesting that at the time Gambit knew little of Greycrow's violent past. In the course of the Mutant Massacre, the Marauders clash with the X-Men and the original X-Factor team, as well as Thor and Power Pack, leaving several Marauders dead.

Subsequently, the X-Men thwart the Marauders' attempt to assassinate Sinister's former pawn, Madelyne Pryor, in San Francisco. Failing, they try once more in New York City during the demonic invasion Inferno event. During this time, Sinister cloned the entire band of Marauders, to replace any members of the team who are killed with exact replicas (as was done in the case of the Marauder known as Riptide). Scalphunter manages to live throughout his encounters with heroes, ⁣ but when the Marauders later fight dimensionally-displaced Nate Grey after trying to assassinate Sinister's former servant, Threnody, he is killed and then cloned. When Sinister poses as Dr. Robert Windsor a scientist in the Weapon X program, Scalphunter is still helping him obtain mutant captives for their DNA, as Sinister supposedly helps prisoners escape, only to take them to his own labs for experimentation.

Scalphunter is one of the still-powered mutants living in tents on the Xavier Institute lawn after almost all mutants were depowered on following the events of the "Decimation" storyline. When immortal mutant Apocalypse comes, Scalphunter leaves and serves him. When Havok warns Scalphunter and fellow Apocalypse recruits Fever Pitch and Skids that they are in over their heads, Scalphunter replies that Apocalypse has explained that he is on the side of mutants in this case, as they are in danger of becoming extinct. In the "X-Men: Messiah Complex" storyline, following Apocalypse's defeat, Scalphunter returns to his master and rejoined the Marauders. Scalphunter is involved in the initial assault on Cooperstown, Alaska for the mutant child. During the X-Men's search for the mutant child he shoots and badly injures Nightcrawler. He later assists the team in their defense of Sinister's base from the X-Men on Muir Island. During the battle, he shoots Wolverine in the head, but subsequently is pinned to the wall with one of Warpath's knives when he tries to kill Hepzibah.

In X-Men: Divided We Stand, after Sinister's defeat and the death and disbanding of the rest of the Marauders, Scalphunter flees to a small town in the desert, where he is again working at a diner as a cook. He fears the X-Men are going to kill him and has fully gone into hiding. A preacher begins to eat at the diner, and constantly plagues Scalphunter with incessant chatter. One night, Nightcrawler attacks Scalphunter in his trailer, revealing that he was the preacher, in disguise. Scalphunter tries to kill him but is easily defeated. Nightcrawler tells him that he sought him out to kill him, but changed his mind as he realized that Scalphunter had no soul – he was just a copy of a copy. He then forgives Scalphunter for all his sins, past and future, then leaves. The next day, Scalphunter is seen back in the diner cooking, now wearing a gold cross. He also has tried to mend fences with the X-Men, notifying them of a break-in at one of Sinister's old labs.

During the "X-Men: Utopia" storyline, Scalphunter is captured by a group of non-mutant superhumans and forced to fly a cargo of five mutant-eating creatures to the X-Men on Utopia. In the new status quo for mutants post House of X and Powers of X, Professor X and Magneto invite all mutants to live on Krakoa and welcome even former enemies into their fold. Sometime later, during the Krakoan Age, he joins a loose group of outcast mutants, operating under Mister Sinister: the Hellions, which also comprise Havok, Kwannon, Empath, Wildchild, Nanny and Orphan Maker. CBR noted that the Hellions series retired Greycrow's racist Scalphunter codename, which debuted during the 1986 Mutant Massacre storyline, in the second issue of the series and that Greycrow had major "character development" with a shift towards redemption and heroics during this series.

Schizoid Man

The Schizoid Man is an alias used by two fictional supervillains who appear in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Chip Martin

The mainstream version, Chip Martin, first appeared in Spectacular Spider-Man Volume 2, #36 (November 1979), and was created by Bill Mantlo, John Romita, Jr. and Jim Mooney. A graduate student at Empire State University, he suffers from psychological instability and has the power of building and animating solid constructs with his mind. His father is Senator Robert Martin, a possible suspect as the Hobgoblin.

The Schizoid Man joined Vil-Anon, a twelve-step program dedicated to helping individuals overcome criminal tendencies which also consisted of Armadillo, Equinox, Hypno-Hustler, Jackson Weele and Man-Bull.

In Civil War: Battle Damage Report, it is revealed that Chip and Lectronn engaged in a three-hour fight over New York that ended in a stalemate.

The Schizoid Man was among several super-powered criminals housed in an unnamed, ill-equipped prison in the Avengers Vs. X-Men storylines. Rogue and Mimic had to fight the two off during a prison riot where the Schizoid Man was trying to get control of himself.

The Schizoid Man possesses the power of building and animating solid constructs with his mind.

Ultimate Marvel version

An Ultimate Marvel equivalent of the Schizoid Man is an unnamed genetically modified French citizen thanks to Jamie Madrox's stolen stem cells. He uses his similar self-replication powers to control a riot before joining the Liberators. His team leads a large army to invade and conquer the United States, leading to the deaths of some members of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Giant-Man Reserves. Captain America and Wasp defeat all of the Schizoid Man's bodies that were "scattered all over the Triskelion".

Scintilla

First appearance	X-Men #107 (October 1977)
Created by	Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum
Species	Unidentified extraterrestrial race
Teams	Imperial Guard
Abilities	Shrinking from normal size to five percent of her normal size (and any size in between)

Scintilla (originally named Midget) is a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. Created by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, the character first appeared in X-Men #107 (October 1977). Scintilla has the ability to shrink to five percent of her normal size, and any size in between. Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Scintilla is the analog of a character from DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes: in her case, Shrinking Violet.

Midget was amongst the first of the Imperial Guard encountered by the team of superhuman mutants known as the X-Men who sought to rescue the Princess Lilandra from her insane brother emperor D'Ken. Following the orders of their emperor, the Guard clashed with the X-Men on a nameless Shi'ar Empire planet, and were on the verge of winning when the band of interstellar freebooters known as the Starjammers arrived to turn the tide of battle in the X-Men's favor.

Sometime later, when Deathbird was empress, Midget joined the other Imperial Guard members in the battle against Excalibur and the Starjammers. Later, on Deathbird's behalf, Midget assisted the other Imperial Guardsmen in the battle against the X-Men and Starjammers, but was defeated by them.

Midget is renamed Scintilla at the outset of Operation: Galactic Storm, an intergalactic war between the Shi'ar and the Kree. The Imperial Guard are integral to the Sh'iar creating a massive super weapon — the "Nega-Bomb" — using Kree artifacts, including the original Captain Marvel's Nega-Bands, which the Guard steals from the dead hero's tomb. This bomb is capable of devastating an area equivalent to that of the Kree Empire (which is supposedly located throughout the Large Magellanic Cloud). Ultimately, the Nega Bomb device is successfully detonated, devastating the Kree Empire, with 98% of the Kree population dying instantaneously. The Shi'ar annex the remnants of the Kree Empire, with Deathbird becoming viceroy of the Kree territories.

Vulcan, a powerful mutant intent on conquering the Shi'ar Empire, fights the Guard beginning in The Uncanny X-Men #480 (2007). Tragically, Vulcan kills Cosmo and Smasher (and seemingly Impulse, Neutron, and Titan) before he is defeated by Gladiator, who puts out his left eye. Despite Scintilla's desire for revenge, Gladiator takes Vulcan into custody and imprisons him.

Scintilla has many further adventures with the Imperial Guard, in such storylines as "Emperor Vulcan," "Secret Invasion," X-Men: Kingbreaker, "War of Kings," and the "Trial of Jean Grey."

Scorcher

Scorpia

Scorpia is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Elaine Coll is recruited by Silvermane from a mental hospital to become the new Scorpion. She opts to call herself Scorpia instead and is given robotic scorpion-like armor which enhanced her strength and speed by 500%. Scorpia successfully brings Deathlok to Silvermane and is ordered to ambush Spider-Man and Daredevil, who had infiltrated their base. She wears them down but is then betrayed by Silvermane, who shoots her in the back. Scorpia follows Spider-Man and Daredevil to Silvermane's location and immediately attacks him. Mainframe, another of Silvermane's mercenaries, takes control of Scorpia's cybernetic enhancements and uses her to attack Spider-Man. However, she soon regained mobility and blasted Silvermane. An explosion created by The Punisher knocked Scorpia off the building they were on, but a mentally conflicted Deathlok saved her. She then decided to flee the area rather than be put in prison.

Scorpia then joins the new Sinister Six (though there were seven members total). The team's main purpose was to stop Kaine from killing any more of Spider-Man's enemies. When Kaine disguised himself as Spider-Man and attacked Hobgoblin, Scorpia immediately joined the others in the battle. However, they were not accustomed to working together, much to Scorpia's disdain. Spider-Man eventually entered the battle and was able to defeat Scorpia. She also participated in another battle against Spider-Man with some of her former allies and new ones such as Boomerang and Jack O' Lantern. She was defeated when Spider-Man threw Jack O'Lantern at her.

Much later, Scorpia fights Spider-Man and Black Cat and is defeated when Black Cat rips off her tail. She later reveals that she was hired by Alberto Ortega, the head of a local drug syndicate.

During the "Infinity" storyline, Scorpia appears as one of the female villains in the employ of Caroline Le Fay. She helps fight off Thanos' forces and later battles the Fearless Defenders. Scorpia remained in Le Fay's employ afterward, acting as one of her bodyguards during a meeting with the Mercs for Money.

During the "Hunted" storyline, Scorpia is among the animal-themed characters that were captured by Taskmaster and Black Ant for Kraven the Hunter's Great Hunt, which is sponsored by Arcade's company Arcade Industries. She was seen at a gathering held by Vulture. She was later freed when Kraven the Hunter told Arcade to lower the force field around Central Park.

Scorpia appears as a member of a female incarnation of the Sinister Syndicate. She states to Francine Frye that she heard about her frying the original Electro and stealing his schtick. The Sinister Syndicate begins its mission where they attack the F.E.A.S.T. building that Boomerang is volunteering at. Beetle leads the Sinister Syndicate in attacking Boomerang. It was stated by Boomerang that he was the one who came up with the Sinister Syndicate name. After getting Aunt May to safety, Peter Parker changes into Spider-Man and helps Boomerang fight the Syndicate. The Syndicate starts doing their formation attack until Spider-Man accidentally sets off Boomerang's gaserang which knocks out Spider-Man enough for the Syndicate to make off with Boomerang. As Beetle has Electro write a proposal on how the Syndicate can use Boomerang as an example to the criminal underworld, Beetle leaves while calling Wilson Fisk that they caught Boomerang, as she is given the information on where the exchange can happen. Scorpia later mentioned to the Syndicate members that Rhino once refused to arm wrestle her. When Beetle returns to the headquarters, Scorpia is present when Mayor Wilson Fisk brings the full force of New York City to their headquarters, demanding that they surrender Boomerang to him. The Syndicate then assists Spider-Man against Mayor Fisk's forces. After Spider-Man evacuates Boomerang, the Syndicate fights Mayor Fisk's forces while not killing them. The Syndicate is defeated and arrested by the police. Their transport is then attacked by an unknown assailant who frees them.

During the "Sinister War" storyline, Scorpia was with the Sinister Syndicate when they were recruited by Kindred to punish Spider-Man for his sins.

Scorpia was with the Sinister Syndicate when they took Janice Lincoln out for a bachelorette party.

During the "Gang War" storyline, Scorpia accompanied Beetle, Lady Octopus, and Trapstr to provide aid White Rabbit and her henchman Kareem when Black Mariah's group attacks the warehouse that they are in. Scorpia accompanies the Sinister Syndicate to Sugar Hill to fight Diamondback's gang there. They defeat some of Diamondback's men and find that the rest of them have been defeated by Rose and Digger. Scorpia and the Sinister Syndicate fight Rose and Digger where Scorpia's tail is briefly grabbed by Digger. Just then, some armored soldiers come in with one of them quoting "Light 'em up"! The armored soldiers are revealed to be working for Wilson Fisk as they drag Rose away leaving Digger behind. While Beetle has a parley with Madame Masque, Scorpia works on repairing her tail. When it comes to the challenge by Madame Masque at Central Park the next day, Scorpia was with the Sinister Syndicate, Digger, and some gangs against Madame Masque and the Maggia. Scorpia joined the Sinister Syndicate in fighting the Maggia and the A.I.M. Agents with them. As Tombstone orders White Rabbit to have the Sinister Syndicate and those on their side pull out of Central Park, Scorpia is among those that take their leave.

Jim Evans

Jim Evans is a successful apothecary in Dustville during the Old West. He began to date Sarah (the prettiest girl in town) until she began to neglect him upon stating that she already has a boyfriend in Matt Cody. Matt Cody was not pleased that Sarah went out with Jim and challenged him to a shootout. Jim drew his gun first and only managed to wing Matt in the left arm as Matt managed to shoot Jim's gun out of his hand. Matt then made Jim dance with his gun. Jim was humiliated and vowed revenge. Upon inventing a liquid paralytic that he can fire no matter where he would hit them, Jim took on the identity of Scorpion and embarked on a crime spree. Scorpion managed to hold up a stagecoach and the sound of his gun attracted the attention of Rawhide Kid. Rawhide Kid managed to tackle Scorpion who hit Rawhide Kid with a paralytic pellet and continued to rob the stagecoach where he made off with the payroll. Upon questioning the nearby town about Scorpion, Rawhide Kid learned that there had been an apothecary who had been around for four months which allowed Rawhide Kid to determine his identity. Rawhide Kid followed Jim to an abandoned mine, watched him change into Scorpion, and then confronted him. Their fight collapsed the mine and Rawhide Kid fell into an underground stream. Rawhide Kid recovered and went after Scorpion again. When Scorpion fired the paralytic pellet again, Rawhide Kid twisted Scorpion's wrist causing Scorpion to get hit by his own paralytic pellet. Rawhide Kid then turned Scorpion over to Dustville's sheriff.

After six months in jail, Jim Evans managed to mix up a small amount of his stun potion in the prison workshop. He used it on a guard, grabbed his keys, and escaped from jail. Taking on the alias of Sting-Ray, Jim Evans went on another crime spree until he arrived in Bison Bend and decided to settle there as the base of his ultimate destiny as the Emperor of the West. Sting-Ray robbed a bunch of people at Bison Bend's square dance. Clay Riley and Sheriff Ben Brooks tried to stop him, but ended up victims of his stun pellets. Sting-Ray later kidnapped Sheriff Ben Brooks' daughter Natalie holding her hostage until he got the power he demanded. However, he was foiled by Phantom Rider who attacked Sting-Ray. Phantom Rider managed to defeat Sting-Ray and unmasked him after he was distracted by Natalie's shouting. The sheriff and his men arrived and chased after Phantom Rider.

Abilities	Can fuse with technology.
show Further reading Scorn at the Comic Book DB (archived from the original)

Scorn (Tanis Nieves) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Tanis Nevies first appeared in Carnage #1 (December 2010), while the Scorn Symbiote first appeared in Carnage #4 (June 2011).

After the Carnage symbiote was ripped in half by the Sentry outside the Earth's atmosphere, it is later discovered that Carnage survived and returned to Earth, where it was discovered by Michael Hall who brought Shriek and her doctor, Dr. Tanis Nevies, to use Shriek to keep Carnage alive to use the organism's properties to create prosthetic limbs and exo-suits which would respond in the same way as a symbiote. Nevies is outfitted with one of these prosthetic arms after she is caught in an attack by the Doppelganger who tried to rescue Shriek. When near Carnage, her arm goes wild and forces her to kill several scientists before Carnage forcefully bonds to her. After the symbiote uses Tanis to break into a Hall Corporation facility, it is revealed that Cletus Kasady is alive, preserved by Carnage and repaired by Hall's prosthetics. Kasady reclaims Carnage once more, attempting to avenge his captivity, while Spider-Man and Iron Man struggle to stop Carnage. It is then revealed that Carnage was once again 'pregnant', and the suit's spawn briefly bonds to Tanis, but she removes it from herself and the symbiote bonds to Shriek before being torn from her. Scared of Shriek's malice, the symbiote arm then rebonds to Tanis, creating the new hero Scorn who defeats Shriek and forces her to use her sonic shriek to weaken Carnage who escapes.

In Carnage USA, Carnage invaded Doverton, Colorado and bonded to its citizens and the Avengers team (who originally tried to stop Carnage) to which the government send in the Mercury Team, a symbiote-enhanced special forces team bonded to the Agony, Phage, Riot and Lasher symbiotes along with Dr. Tanis Nieves as Scorn to stop Carnage, but they are heavily outnumbered, since Carnage controls the entire town. The enhanced special forces keep fighting, but Carnage sends the controlled Avengers after them, that was when Spider-Man comes with the town's unaffected residents. The melee is particularly fierce when Agent Venom intervenes with sonic rounds. Scorn uses a construction vehicle to carry the two to a device she built and reveals that her device is meant to permanently remove the bonds from Carnage and Venom, but the hosts are still in there. After the symbiotes fight with themselves and the Avengers team, the Venom symbiote finds its way back to Flash Thompson while Scorn is able to capture and contain the Carnage symbiote.

In Carnage Born, it is revealed that Scorn got corrupted and started a cult worshiping Knull. She with her followers retrieve the Grendel symbiote's remnants from the Maker, along with Kasady's damaged body following the Venomized event. After implanting the remnants inside Kasady start to fight for control.

Scramble

Scramble (Lionel Jeffries), also known as Scramble the Mixed-Up Man, is a supervillain appearing in media published by Marvel Comics. Specifically, he was an enemy of Alpha Flight, but for a brief time he was alternately their ally. Scramble is the brother of Madison Jeffries. Scramble first appeared in Alpha Flight #30 (February 1986) and was created by Bill Mantlo and Mike Mignola.

Lionel Jeffries and his older brother Madison were mutants: Madison with the ability to alter metallic surfaces and Lionel able to manipulate organic matter. Lionel utilized his power to become a successful surgeon, and later both he and Madison were among the many thousands of Canadians to enlist in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Madison, who loathed being a mutant, served as a first class mechanic, whereas Lionel craved the opportunity to use his powers for good as a medic. However, Lionel's inability to resurrect many of his fellow soldiers after an explosion dismembered their squad caused him to go insane, and Madison had to use his own powers to assist in restraining him.

In the years following the war, Madison had his raving brother committed to Montreal General Hospital, where he was kept in restraints, before he himself joined the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight. Shortly afterwards, Alpha Flight leader Heather Hudson found Lionel, discovering his existence on the team's Alphanex computer system (only after bypassing a security lock on Madison's file). Since Madison never informed his teammates of Lionel's existence, Heather assumed the man was a doctor at the hospital, and travelled there in an effort to determine if he was a mutant, and if so recruit him into Alpha Flight. When she discovered Lionel was, in fact, a patient, she was further horrified to behold what she believed to be terrible mistreatment on behalf of the medics who restrained him. However, when Heather attempted to introduce herself as Madison's friend with a handshake, Lionel made physical contact with her and used his powers to brutally warp her body, freeing himself in the process and overtaking the hospital. He now went by the name of Scramble, the Mixed-Up Man, and soon went about altering the hospital staff and patients into hideously deformed zombies (unintentionally resurrecting Deadly Ernest, a deceased Alpha Flight foe, in the process). The insane Scramble believed himself to be little more than a doctor caring for his patients. Alpha Flight soon arrived on the scene to rescue Heather (after tracing her path via Alphanex), and wound up in a brawl with the mutates. Soon, the Jeffries brothers reunited in the hospital morgue, and there Madison fully realized the depth of Scramble's insanity, while also believing there was still good in him. The two brothers clashed, but eventually Madison manipulated Scramble into using his own organic-warping powers on himself, healing his brain from psychosis. The "cured" Scramble reverses much of the damage he did, including Heather's transformation, and vows to return to medicine after getting discharged from the hospital.

Scramble eventually headed the New Life Clinic, an organization that medically assisted Alpha Flight on several occasions, becoming a strong ally of the team in the process. However, gradually, his madness began to return, and he began a secret campaign to create a race of genetic superhumans. He found a partner in Box (Roger Bochs), an Alpha Flight member in his care who also had been suffering from severe psychosis. The vengefully jealous Box requested Scramble to use his powers to repair his damaged legs in an effort to secure the love of his girlfriend and teammate Aurora. Eventually, it was revealed that Scramble did not use Bochs' excess fatty tissue to repair the man's legs, but rather used manipulated corpse flesh. Despite this odd betrayal, the demented pair still joined forces in Scramble's quest to procure his intended super race. Scramble and Bochs then physically amalgamated into a hideously deformed creature known as Omega, and attacked Alpha Flight and their trainees Beta Flight when the teams caught on to their plans, first mutating Madison and Lionel's own lab assistant Whitman Knapp (causing Knapp's latent mutant powers to trigger) and then overpowering the rest of the teams. Madison warps and then dons Box's armor and uses it to fight Omega, during which time the Scramble persona became dominant and killed the Bochs half after the Bochs persona found sanity and attempted to end the battle. After Alpha Flight recovers and defeats Omega (thanks in large part to the efforts of Beta Flight's mind controller the Purple Girl), Madison realized the only way to prevent a future meltdown from his dangerous brother is to kill him. He then proceeded to do so, using weaponry conjured from his Box armor.

Señor Muerte / Señor Suerte

Señor Muerte and Señor Suerte are aliases used by a number of fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Ramon

The first character to use these names was Ramon Garcia, who was born in Hatillo, Puerto Rico. Ramon was the owner of a chain of gambling casinos and a criminal who called himself "Señor Suerte" (which means "Mr. Luck" in English) in his role as head of criminal gambling operations in New York. He used the name "Señor Muerte" (which means "Mr. Death" in English) when he killed his opponents. Ramon sent men to kill Frank Jenks and Luke Cage. Muerte attempted to kill Luke Cage, and murdered a rival casino owner. He battled Cage, but was electrocuted by his own device during the battle and died. Ramon reappears without explanation years later, being forced to commit crimes by Lady Caterpillar, who had abducted his wife, Rebecca Clyde.

Jaime and Phillip

After Ramon's death, his younger brothers Jaime and Phillip took over his operations, and became the co-owners of their brother's gambling casinos. Jaime became "Señor Suerte" and Phillip became "Señor Muerte". Jaime was a professional thief, and Phillip was a professional assassin.

Phillip, as the new Señor Muerte, posed as his deceased brother Ramon. Alongside the Tarantula, he murdered government agent Ken Astor, and attempted to hijack a military convoy, the Madbombs. He battled Captain America. Phillip wore gloves that were able to release spider venom into his victims.

Jaime, as Señor Suerte, attempted a theft of Tutankhamen artifacts from a museum, and battled Cage and Iron Fist. Jamie and Phillip's gambling operations were disrupted by Cage and Iron Fist. The brothers set death-traps for Cage and Iron Fist, but were still defeated by them.

Senyaka

Suvik Senyaka is the first ever Sri Lankan character to appear in Marvel Comics, followed by Dr. Amara Perera. Senyaka first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #300 and was created by Scott Lobdell and John Romita Jr.

Senyaka possesses the power to drain the bio-electrical essence of others upon physical contact. The living energy he drains augments his natural strength, endurance, and reflexes, as well as accelerating his recuperative powers significantly. Senyaka can also utilize the excess life-force he drains to generate a pair of psionic whips composed of bio-electric energy. These whips move according to his mental command and can greatly increase the distance of his absorption ability. The whips can also conduct his bio-electric energy to ignite nerve clusters in an opponent to cause intense pain or paralysis, as well as sear into their flesh.

Senyaka is a mutant recruited by Fabian Cortez as a member of a second group of the Acolytes. On their first mission, this new team of Acolytes attacked the Our Mother of The Sacred Heart school while searching for a mutant child. During the assault, Senyaka displeased his lord Magneto after critically injuring a human nurse with his energy coils and was subsequently slain by Magneto, who crushed the life out of Senyaka with his own coils.

Senyaka survived, however, by siphoning the life energy from agents from the international law enforcement agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. who had recovered Senyaka's body. Seeking revenge on Magneto, Senyaka set out to kill Sea Captain Lee Forrester, a former paramour of the self-styled master of magnetism. Forrester teamed up with the mutant soldier from the future named Cable, and Senyaka was seemingly killed once more in the ensuing battle.

Senyaka later reappeared once more as a member of a faction of Acolytes led by Exodus, who has the ability to bring people back to life. The Acolytes participated in an assault on Wundagore Mountain in the European country of Transia, home of the enigmatic scientist known as the High Evolutionary. The Evolutionary had developed a powerful mutagenic compound known as Isotope-E, which the Acolytes coveted for themselves.

After Exodus was defeated, Senyaka found himself amongst the ranks of former Acolytes who were aiding the Carrion Cove rebellion against Magneto's rule of the island nation of Genosha. With the genocide of the Genoshan population at the hands of giant mutant-hunting robot Sentinels controlled by Cassandra Nova, the genetic twin of Professor Charles Xavier, Senyaka was believed dead.

Some time passed before Senyaka would return. Upon his return, the nature of which is still unknown, he joined the ranks of Exodus' new team of Acolytes. Following the X-Men's battle against the Hecatomb, Senyaka appeared on Cable's decimated island nation of Providence alongside new Marauders, Gambit and Sunfire, in an attempt to claim the island's information archives, which would allow access to Cable's future technology. While Gambit and Sunfire faced Cable, Senyaka battled Deadpool and appeared to gain the upper hand before Deadpool was teleported away by Cable's technology.

When Selene dispatches her Inner Circle to retrieve the mystical knife necessary to complete her ritual, Senyaka mortally wounds several mutants with death-related powers. At first, when she tries to fool him by appearing before him as a little girl, he tells her to drop her disguise as he will kill for her because she is different compared to the others he has served. They travel to Selene's birthplace, Rome and New York where they slaughter the members of that branch of the Hellfire Club. After being led to the ruins of Genosha by Caliban, Selene declares this is where she will become a goddess and renames it Necrosha.

When Selene dispatches her Inner Circle to retrieve the mystical knife necessary to complete her ritual, Senyaka mortally wounds Meld, then teams up with Blink to attack Archangel, using his coils to restrain him, while Blink teleports his wings to shreds. Senyaka is later attacked by Wolverine, who drives his claws into his chest. Senyaka is unfazed by this, declaring he has been killed before. In the final fight, Senyaka ensnares Wolverine in his coils, slamming him in to walls. X-23 releases him when she cuts Senyaka's arm off. Wolverine takes advantage of the situation, decapitating Senyaka.

Senyaka in other media

• Senyaka makes a non-speaking cameo appearance in the X-Men: The Animated Series episode "Secrets, Not Long Buried" as a resident of the mutant-dominated community of Skull Mesa.
• Senyaka appears in Wolverine and the X-Men as a member of Magneto's Acolytes and resident of Genosha.

Sepulchre

Sepulchre (also known as Shadow Woman) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in Quasar #45 (April 1993), and was created by Mark Gruenwald and Grant Miehm.

After a difficult childhood, Jillian Marie Woods left home to attend the University of San Francisco. While there, she met occult lecturer Anthony Ludgate Druid, the superhero known as Doctor Druid. They discovered that a psychic link existed between them. Druid probed Jillian's mind and learned her soul had inhabited a male alchemist in King Arthur's court in a past life, and that the alchemist loved a princess whose soul was reincarnated as Dr. Druid. The alchemist and princess were killed by the princess' brother because of their relationship, and the alchemist swore he would find the princess again. Jillian and Druid, surprised by these revelations, became lovers. Sometime later, Jillian accidentally released a demon, which killed her when she and Druid were investigating mystical artifacts Druid took from the sorcerer Magnus. Dr. Druid, using a mystical statue called the Bride of Slorioth, bonded a piece of Jillian's soul to her shadow. When Jillian woke up with her new powers, Druid told her that they were a result of her exposure to the demon.

Jillian took the name Shadow Woman and alongside other heroes Jim Scully (as the second Blazing Skull) and N'Kantu, the Living Mummy, joined a team, led by Dr. Druid called the Shock Troop. When Quagmire, using his Darkforce, Neutron, and the Presence corrupted Earth-148611 (New Universe), Shadow Woman and the Shock Troop helped Quasar fight Anti Bodies until the Shi'ar Imperial Guard destroyed them. Later, the Shock Troop was called on by Doctor Strange to face a threat at the Nexus of All Realities. When the team arrived, the threat had already been neutralized by Quasar.

After Dr. Strange forced Dr. Druid to assume the responsibility of organizing the Secret Defenders, Jillian, Luke Cage and Deadpool were assembled to prevent Malachi from reassembling the Moebius Stone. They met at the Chicago Museum of Art, and confronted Malachi as she attempted to acquire a Moebius Stone fragment attached to a sword. To hold back the Secret Defenders, Malachi animated artwork to attack them and departed with the fragment. Casting her shadow form over them, Shadow Woman caused them to dissipate. Druid then teleported them to his townhouse to seek artifacts which could aid them against Malachi.

They set out to oppose Malachi at a tomb where a corpse held the last fragment of the Moebius Stone in a ring upon its finger. They were joined by Cody Fleisher, Cadaver, a teenager Malachi killed who Agamotto re-animated to serve as his Pale Horseman. However, Malachi obtained the last fragment, and caught Shadow Woman and Dr. Druid with her spells. Shadow Woman was able to phase through her bonds, and distracted Malachi while Dr. Druid escaped. Malachi struck Shadow Woman down, and when she survived the blow, she realized she should not have, and that Dr. Druid had done something to her. Malachi was finally slain by Deadpool, but then Strange, Dr. Strange's servant, attempted to claim the Moebius Stone. Shadow Woman opposed him, only to be struck down again, but Dr. Druid was able to destroy the stone.

Shadow Woman, Cadaver, Dr. Druid and R.G. Mathieson confronted Swarm, as it attempted to control the Rand-Meachum supercollider. Jillian was immune to Swarm due to her powers, and helped free Dr. Druid and Cadaver from the creature's clutches. She and Cadaver helped hold Swarm back long enough for Dr. Druid to convince Swarm to stand down.

Returning from their encounter with Swarm, Jillian asked Dr. Druid to explain to her what she had become. Druid promised to do so, but cast her into the Bride of Slorioth. Within the statue, Jillian encountered the dark side of Dr. Druid's soul, and learned from it what Dr. Druid had done to her. She emerged from the statue furious, and assaulted Dr. Druid, but he convinced her that he had only done what had to be done, and that he was ready to lead her and Cadaver on a mission that would free them all of their respective curses. She agreed, but assumed the new alias of Sepulchre for that mission. Dr. Druid then teleported them to Starkesboro.

Sepulchre and the others met up with Deathlok, Dagger and Drax, their teammates for this mission. Dr. Druid led them to the Gates of Perdition, where he was to confront the demon Slorioth. However, as Dr. Druid departed, the original Defenders — Silver Surfer, Hulk and Sub-Mariner — appeared to oppose the Secret Defenders. Sepulchre engaged the Silver Surfer in battle, but he fled the scene when he realized he was in an era where Galactus's barrier did not surround the Earth. However, the Surfer's conscience gnawed at him, and he returned to engage Sepulchre once more, but she encased him within a field of total darkness. Just then, their battle was interrupted when the demon Slorioth arose.

The two teams of Defenders fought Slorioth, but Sepulchre and Cadaver were taken aside by Joshua Pryce to face the real threat — Dr. Druid, corrupted by his dark side. Dr. Druid claimed that everything he had done had been for Jillian, then attacked his one-time allies. Since Dr. Druid had taken control of her soul, he used that advantage to cause her to dissolve away. Ultimately, Joshua Pryce brought in the Vishanti and Living Tribunal, who drove off Dr. Druid and Slorioth. Pryce then went to help Sepulchre, but she begged him to let her die. He replied, "Better to live, forever a Shadow woman...than to die a Sepulchre!", and helped raise her to life.

Sepulchre and Cadaver met with Pryce afterward, and decided to go their separate ways, but noted that "if the world ever needs saving...and all the good super-heroes are busy," they would meet again.

Sometime later, Lindsay McCabe, a friend of Jessica Drew's, asked Jillian to help her find her missing friend. They were joined by Julia Carpenter, Spider-Woman, who had encountered Jessica's Spider-Woman costume moving of its own accord. Jillian sent the two women to the dimension of the Void-Eater, where Jessica was imprisoned. Re-powered by her costume, Jessica escaped the Void-Eater with Lindsay and Spider-Woman. Jillian closed the portal to the Void-Eater's realm before the creature could follow them back.

Jillian is seen on the phone with a representative from Roxxon Oil, agreeing to speak to them about a job offer they had made. She encounters the Thunderbolts on her way to the interview, and uses her powers to fight off Venom before teaming up with Steel Spider and American Eagle to battle the rest of the team. Managing to reach Roxxon Oil just in time, she negotiates a new life off American soil.

Sepulchre returned to America, following the collapse of Norman Osborn's regime and his Thunderbolts initiative, and was last seen participating in a job interview for a babysitter job with Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, but gets increasingly frustrated with the apparent mispronunciation of her name, repeatedly telling Jones and Cage off and re-spelling her name over and over, which results in her eventual rejection.

Darkforce energy manipulation allows Jillian to fly, generate darkness fields, phase, and merge with shadows.

Juston Seyfert

Juston Seyfert is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Juston Seyfert is an ordinary human teenager tormented by the seniors at Antigo High School in Wisconsin. He lives with his younger brother Chris and his father Peter (who operates a junkyard to which their house is adjacent). Their mother Jen walked out years ago. Being poor, Juston must be creative in finding fun, and spends the days playing in the salvage yard or constructing robots from spare parts. One day, he finds a micro-processor which he then places into a Battle-Bot that he and his friends use. During the battle however, the robot disappears into the junkyard. Unbeknownst to Juston, the processor was actually the remains of a giant robot programmed to exterminate mutants: a Sentinel (namely the MK VI model). During this time, Juston has also met a senior girl at his school named Jesse, for whom he immediately develops a crush. A few days after the event, Juston discovers the battle bot and the half re-built Sentinel in his junkyard. Initially frightened by the discovery, he begins to assist in rebuilding and reprogramming the Sentinel. The two form something of a bond. The good news does not last however, as Juston soon discovers the Sentinel's original purpose while searching online and coming across an article featuring the X-Men. Additionally, some bullies that had plagued Juston earlier in the series strike back, hurting one of his friends and turning his crush against him with lies that he had told the school body the pair had "hooked-up". Hurt and humiliated after the bullies reveal themselves, Juston returns to the Sentinel, contemplating using it for revenge. The next day, Jesse tries to find Juston to talk with him, and while talking to his two friends, the Sentinel arrives and begins to attack the school, targeting the two bullies specifically. Before they can be hurt, Juston smashes a hot-wired jeep into the Sentinel causing it to fall and retreat. It is later revealed that Juston staged the entire attack to earn positive standing at school and in the community, but he begins to feel guilt for the physical and psychological repercussions of his actions. He decides the best course is to use his Sentinel for good.

Juston soon discovers it is not as easy as it looks, as he and his Sentinel are almost caught trying to save the survivors from a plane crash. The CSA, investigating the Sentinel attack on the school, arrive on the scene and begin attacking the Sentinel in an effort to reclaim it. The Sentinel fights back, despite Juston's orders, which puts their relationship in further strain. Unaware that the Sentinel was secretly repairing its prime directive, the robot begins to hunt mutants once again leading to a final confrontation with the head CSA Agent, who was secretly a mutant and deduced that Juston was controlling the sentinel. Against Juston's orders, the sentinel kills the Agent, so Juston is free of suspicion, but his Sentinel is damaged and confiscated. Juston decides to run away and free the sentinel, then use the sentinel's DNA detection skills to look for his long-lost mother.

In the 2005 sequel to the first volume, Juston is still looking for his mother. His friends and family, not knowing where he went, begin to worry and his father does his best to try to find him. Meanwhile, Juston stumbles upon data indicating that his Sentinel was in fact used by a previous owner who used it for the murder of a non-mutant. It is revealed that a Wisconsin politician named Senator Jeff Knudsen and a military official named Colonel Archibald Hunt had worked together to take out Senator Knudsen's rival using the sentinel. In Washington D.C., Senator Knudsen and Colonel Hunt discover their Sentinel is out and could incriminate the both of them, leaving them with one option: Destroy it and anybody who knows about it. To do this, they use a new, experimental "stealth" Sentinel Mark VII-A. Juston's search for his mother leads him to an estranged aunt named Ginny Baker, who allows him in only with the hope that she be repaid with money that Juston received from all his media appearances following his "heroics" at the school from the previous volume. When he tells her he does not have any and is only trying to find his mother, Ginny cruelly reveals that she left him and his family because she did not love them. Juston rushes out the door while Ginny calls the local news, leading his father right to her as well. The stealth sentinel catches up to Juston and his sentinel and engages them. It is defeated, but not before doing serious damage. The sentinel, acting on its directive to protect Juston, takes the opportunity to not only repair itself, but to also build a cockpit for Juston to operate from the inside. Juston makes his way back to Antigo but is ambushed by the Stealth Sentinel who removes his Sentinel's hand. Juston's Sentinel and the Stealth Sentinel do battle while Juston tries to protect his family and friends in the process. Colonel Hunt is now manually controlling the stealth sentinel, which is ready to deliver the fatal blow, but Senator Knudsen disables the control system out of compassion for the young kid. After destroying the stealth sentinel, Juston makes a promise to Colonel Hunt and Senator Knudsen that if one of them pursues him or his sentinel, he would divulge their secret. After a touching reunion with his father during which he discovers the truth about his mother, Juston goes back to school where he runs into Jesse and the rest of his buddies. On the final page, it is revealed he still has the Sentinel which now wields one of the Stealth Sentinel's arms and he hopes that he can do some real good now.

Following Fear Itself, Juston and his Sentinel appear as students at the revamped Avengers Academy. The Sentinel now features a cockpit to carry Juston around in during battle. The Sentinel has since been revealed possessing the advanced self-repair abilities of the latter generation Sentinels, thus negating every shred of damage dealt during its past adventures. Juston still prefers to help the Sentinel though keeping its repairs more aesthetically pleasing. Despite Juston hopes to be a hero along with his Sentinel, he was unable to fully eradicate the "Destroy all mutants" protocol from its A.I. Instead as a workaround solution, he implanted a long string of directives each one with a higher priority than the original program such as "Protecting Juston and his friends", "Defend humanity", and "Preserve itself unless that doesn't contradict the previous directives".

During the Avengers vs. X-Men storyline, Emma Frost (possessing a fraction of the Phoenix Force) arrives to destroy Juston's Sentinel, seeing it as a threat to mutantkind. When Juston claimed that he loved it, the entire Academy rose to defend the Sentinel. During the battle, the Sentinel demonstrated the ability to override its prime directive to self-preservation, sacrificing itself to save Juston. Emma then melted down its processor, unaware that Quicksilver had swiftly swapped it with a duplicate. He and Giant-Man were then able to rebuild the Sentinel.

As part of the Marvel NOW! event within the issues of Avengers Arena, Juston Seyfert is among the young heroes who are abducted by Arcade and forced to fight for their lives in Murderworld. Others in the group include Cammi, Darkhawk, Hazmat, Mettle, Nico Minoru, Reptil, Chase Stein, X-23, Apex (Tim/Katy), Nara, Kid Briton, Red Raven, Deathlocket, Cullen Bloodstone, and Anachronism. He is attacked and the Sentinel he is working on folds around him, apparently crushing him. Juston Seyfert is later revealed to have survived, but is now paralyzed below the waist due to the injuries sustained when the Sentinel crashed. Distraught at the loss of his best friend, Juston salvages the remains of the Sentinel and creates a suit of battle armor, which he uses to attack Deathlocket. After the Runaways members Nico Minoru and Chase Stein become involved in the battle, Chase Stein transforms into the new Darkhawk and attacks Juston. The battle was aborted by Tim's technopathic powers and the group's vote for Tim/Katy's life or death. Juston was among those who voted for death. When Tim reverts to Katy, Juston is murdered by Apex who breaks his neck and then steals his Sentinel. When Deathlocket stumbles into an underground facility, Juston Seyfert's body is among the dead bodies that are seen in one of the rooms.

Shape

Shape is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Mark Gruenwald and is loosely based onPlastic Man.

The Shape (real name Raleigh Lund) was born in Simak, Lowengard, in the United States of the alternate Earth of the Squadron Supreme, Earth-712. Although he appears to be an adult male, his emotional and intellectual development is comparable to that of a child. Originally, he was a member of the criminal Institute of Evil, the Squadron's arch-foes, although, lacking sincere criminal intent, he was mostly following the lead of team leader Ape-X, who had been his friend "for years and years." After the Institute of Evil lost a battle against the Squadron, all of the institute's members underwent behavior modification, their criminal records were pardoned, and they all joined the Squadron. Now, as a public crusader and adventurer, Shape helped supervise the manufacturing of force field belts. He also helped his fellow superheroes and babysat for Arcanna Jones' three children, becoming especially close with Drusilla Jones. Eventually the behavior modification was reversed by the Squadron's opponents the Redeemers, but the Shape, having never been a criminal at heart in the first place, still chose to side with the Squadron against Nighthawk and the Redeemers. After the battle, Shape helped get the pregnant Arcanna to the delivery room after she collapsed.

Later, Shape accompanied the Squadron in a futile struggle against the Nth Man. As a result, Shape and the Squadron traveled to Earth. There, Shape and Haywire were mentally coerced by the Over-Mind to prevent Quasar from following the starship in which the Over-Mind had kidnapped the Squadron Supreme.

Miriam Sharpe

Miriam Sharpe is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

All that is known about Sharpe prior to the Civil War storyline that she was married; was a resident of Stamford, Connecticut; and had a young son named Damien who attended Stamford Elementary. Her son was at school the day that a fight between the New Warriors and several supervillains destroyed much of Stamford, including the elementary school. After her son's death, Sharpe became the most powerful voice in the emerging Pro-Registration Movement, demanding the government pass the Superhuman Registration Act (SHRA). At a memorial service for the victims of the Stamford attack, Sharpe had a highly publicized confrontation with Tony Stark where she accused the Avengers' benefactor of being there just to "play hero". It was this confrontation with Sharpe that convinced Stark to also champion the Registration Act as Iron Man. However, Stark had in fact already been covertly supporting Registration Act even before the Stamford disaster. Sharpe is widely noted by pundits as a brilliant political operator. In the weeks following the Stamford disaster, she managed to create a support base that would gather hundreds to march on the White House, influence superhumans, and eventually convince Congress and the president to pass the superhuman registration act.

Sharpe appeared on stage at the press conference where Spider-Man unmasked himself as one of the first public supporters. Sharpe attended Bill Foster's funeral after he was killed by a cyborg clone of Thor. She would again speak with Iron Man, this time to bolster Iron Man's commitment to the SHRA while also comparing "Thor" killing Bill Foster to a policeman killing a thug. She also gave him an Iron Man model, her son's favourite toy, to remind Iron Man of what they were fighting for. Wolverine would also seek Sharpe out to tell her the story of bringing justice to Nitro and to former Damage Control Inc. CEO Walter Declun (who gave Nitro Mutant Growth Hormone pills to boost power which resulted in the destruction of Stamford and giving Declum many profitable contracts for rebuilding).

Stark shows her a series of gardens created as a memorial to the children lost in the Stamford incident. It is here Sharpe thanks both Stark and Mister Fantastic for backing her idea of superhero registration despite its negative side effects. Sharpe joins Stark following the climactic battle to discuss the future in the wake of the Pro-Registration victory. As they discuss future plans, including Stark's recent promotion to Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Sharpe tells Stark that she has finally started to believe in superheroes again, thanks to Stark. In light of the public relationship between Stark and Maya Hansen, the creator of the Extremis virus, who Sharpe considers a mass murderer, Sharpe went on the television program Viewpoint to publicly attack the government for supporting Hansen. Sharpe is later on hand to support the appointment of Ultra Girl as director of the Junior Guardsmen, a youth branch of the Initiative, akin to the JROTC program.

During the 2011 "Fear Itself" storyline, she saves surviving New Warrior Robbie Baldwin (Speedball), who was involved in the Stamford Incident, from an angry mob at the time when Serpent and his Worthy were causing fear and chaos across the globe. During this time, she forgave Speedball for what happened in Stamford. She tells the mob that she doesn't believe Baldwin killed her son, that the villain he irresponsibly attacked did. Miriam comes to understand the entire world is under attack by a mysterious force of destruction and that Baldwin's resources as an Avengers associate and Miriam's disaster recovery training can do good. They work together to assist small towns the Avengers have not yet reached.

Miriam Sharpe in other media

Miriam Sharpe appears in Captain America: Civil War, portrayed by Alfre Woodard. This version's son was killed during the Avengers' battle in Sokovia in Avengers: Age of Ultron. She blames the Avengers for this and confronts Tony Stark, prompting him to support the Sokovia Accords.

Shathra is an insectoid creature from the Astral Plane and the totem of the spider wasp, much as Spider-Man is rumored to be a totem of the spider. As spider wasps kill spiders, she escaped the astral world where she lived to find Spider-Man (Spider-Man had previously visited her world and accidentally alerted her to his presence). Her plan was to feed "the spider" to her children once she killed him.

Shathra assumed a human form and calling herself Sharon, she went to Fox News and claimed to be Spider-Man's lover to draw him out and disgrace him. Spider-Man quickly came to the studio and angrily attacked her, revealing her wasp form. After an intense battle, she poisoned him with wasp venom to paralyze him. After falling into a museum exhibit, he was found by Ezekiel Sims and taken to Ghana in Africa.

There, as Peter waited in an ancient Spider Temple, Shathra tracked him, and they fought in an intense showdown. However, she was attacked by a swarm of spiders, which covered her and apparently killed her.

How she survived is left unknown. But after her previous fight with Spider-Man, Shathra began looking for a suitable replacement for her children which she found in the form of Kaine. She imitates the form of Annabelle Adams, one of the few people that is aware Kaine is also the Scarlet Spider. When Kaine rejects Shathra after seeing the real Annabelle she morphs into her natural form and is able to defeat Kaine. However, when she tries to kill Kaine's friend Wally, Kaine recovers enough to morph into a man-spider and rips her to shreds.

Powers and abilities

Shathra is an extremely powerful foe, almost on the level of Morlun. She is very, very strong, and is very agile. Shathra also has the ability to shoot stingers out of her wrists (akin to an actual wasp), which causes her prey to be paralyzed-much as a spider-wasp actually does to a spider. Spider-Man later gained this ability (temporarily) during The Other storyline.

Shinobi Shaw

Shinobi Shaw, also known as a Black King of the Hellfire Club, is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is usually depicted as an adversary of the X-Men and their affiliated teams. Created by Chris Claremont, Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio, the character first appeared in X-Factor #67 (June 1991). He is the son of the former Black King Sebastian Shaw and is a mutant with the ability to control the density of his own body.

Shinobi is the adopted son of Sebastian Shaw, the leader of the Hellfire Club. In his first appearance, Shaw is revealed to be involved in the Upstarts, a group made up of Siena Blaze, Fabian Cortez, Trevor Fitzroy and probationary members Andreas and Andrea Strucker (of Fenris), who were manipulated by the Gamemaster and originally Selene to compete in a "game" which involved killing prominent mutants and garnering points from each kill. Shinobi picked his own father as a target and set about to murder him, since Shinobi grew up to hate his father for the treatment he had received in his hands. First, he engaged in a series of financial machinations to ruin his father, he managed to buy Shaw Industries, his father's collection of companies, from under his nose. After bankrupting him, Shinobi boldly confronted his father in Sebastian's private chalet in Switzerland and revealed how he now owned Shaw Industries. He also cruelly teased his father by suggesting that perhaps the late Harry Leland, Sebastian's colleague from the Hellfire Club, could be his real father, on the basis of Shinobi and Harry's similar powers. Finally, Shinobi reached into Sebastian's chest and gave him a coronary attack. The chalet was then obliterated in an explosion, with Shinobi seemingly the sole survivor. Shaw is able to briefly take control of the Hellfire Club, assuming the mantle of Black King. In his early years, Shinobi often surrounded himself with scantily clad men and women.

Shinobi's elimination of his father put him ahead in the ranking of the Upstarts, making him the frontrunner in the game. Shinobi relished in his newfound wealth and glory, and his various servants catered to his every whim in his luxurious apartments in New York and Tokyo. However, his rival Upstart, Trevor Fitzroy, coveted the top spot of the Upstarts for himself. With a new, improved batch of Sentinels, he orchestrated the massacre of most of the Reavers, Hellions and Emma Frost, the White Queen of the Hellfire Club. Fitzroy brought the lifeless Frost to Shinobi as proof and demanded to be handed over Sebastian's ring, which Shinobi wore as a symbol of power. When Shinobi refused to relinquish it, Fitzroy unflinchingly cut off Shinobi's finger which carried the ring and seized it. After Shinobi had his own Sentinels reattach his finger, he hunted down Fitzroy and located him in his secret base in an iceberg in the Arctic Circle. Shinobi's men captured Fitzroy and Shinobi reclaimed the ring. He also gleefully informed Fitzroy that the Gamesmaster, the coordinator of the Upstarts game, had ruled this altercation between the two men in favor of Shinobi. Upon learning that the X-Men were also in Fitzroy's base at the moment, Shinobi attempted to further his Upstarts achievements and wipe out the entire team with some explosions he orchestrated, however, he failed.

Shinobi's leading position among the Upstarts was short-lived. Fellow competitor Fabian Cortez claimed to have killed Magneto and became the frontrunner in the game. When Cortez strongly demurred at the inclusion of a human, Graydon Creed, among the Upstarts, Shinobi tried to calm him down by reminding him that the Upstarts originated as an escapist game of fun for rich, bored and spoiled children. During another of these games, the Upstarts target the surviving members of the New Mutants and the Hellions, but are defeated by the combined forces of X-Force and the New Warriors. Around the same time, eager to return the Inner Circle to its former glory, Shaw approaches Betsy Braddock and Warren Worthington, attempting to convince them to become a part of the Inner Circle. Both X-Men refuse, however. He also tried to enlist Storm under Candra's orders as a member, but she also refused. Still operating with the Hellfire Club, he organizes an assassination attempt on Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson, but his power play is thwarted by Spider-Man and a handful of X-Men.

After he learned that his father was alive, Shinobi presumably in fear of retaliation for his assassination attempt, deserted all of his inherited positions and returned to a more secretive mode of life, allowing Sebastian to take control of the Hellfire Club. Shinobi then worked with Spiral and Mindmeld as they experiment on Karma's siblings. However, his personal assassin Clear-Cut betrays him and aids X-Force in defeating him.

As a result of the Scarlet Witch's actions, nearly all of the mutants in the entire world were stripped of their powers. Shinobi is confirmed as being one of a limited number of mutants who retained their powers following the 2005 "Decimation" storyline. When Selene attempted to rise to goddesshood, it was revealed that Shinobi was at some point found and killed by his father, as he was resurrected by Selene with the techno-organic virus and sent with Harry Leland to kill his father and Donald Pierce. Selene was ultimately defeated and Shinobi's fate was left uncertain.

Shinobi is later revealed to be alive and assembled the Upstarts again to kill the Nasty Boys and lure the X-Men out. The Upstarts are quickly neutralized and after discovering the X-Men were unknowingly working for Emma Frost, Shinobi used his own mutant powers to commit suicide by phasing his hand through his head before muttering that Emma Frost will not get him. In the 2019 relaunch of the X-Men comics, Shinobi was resurrected on Krakoa by The Five and placed under the care of his father, who appointed him the Black Bishop of the Hellfire Trading Company. Shinobi was unaware of the circumstances of his death, and his father told him that Emma Frost and Kate Pryde conspired to kill him. After Kate Pride is killed and Shaw's betrayal is revealed through Lockheed, Emma immediately calls Callisto to go after Shinobi, who was having a meeting with Christian Frost, who he was starting to date. With Cal as her bodyguard, Emma reads Shinobi's mind and finds out that he was unaware of his father's intentions. Emma later makes a dig at Sebastian by questioning his parentage to Shinobi. It is revealed that Shinobi is in fact Harry Leland's illegitimate son.

S.H.O.C.

S.H.O.C. is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was created by Howard Mackie and John Romita Jr. in Spider-Man #76 (1997).

Todd Fields is the son of Dr. William Fields, who worked for HYDRA in project S.H.O.C. (Sub-dimensional Human-based Occultechnic Conduit). The idea behind it was to use a highly evolved technology connecting to the rather mysterious Darkforce dimension. It was made into an armor by Doctor William Fields, and it has the capabilities of Cloak, as in shadow-melting and projecting the Darkforce energy into the armor to modify its form. Dr. Fields first subject was a man that would come to be known as Loxias Crown, however Crown had his own hidden agenda and killed Dr. Fields along with many other Hydra agents and was planning to use the S.H.O.C.s technology to conquer the world. Todd was a young boy when he witnessed the death of his father, which traumatized him greatly. His father however left Todd with key components for Todd to track and steal another S.H.O.C. armor and bond with it. Todd then became SHOC and swore revenge on Crown for murdering his father.

After Todd saw his father murdered by agents of Hydra, he was devastated. Years later, as a grown man, he would become the new SHOC and a hero. He teamed up with Spider-Man several times and battled Don Fortunato for the whereabouts of Crown, and he was directed to Hammerhead, who informed him that the living vampire Michael Morbius has been captured by Dr. Andrea Janson. Hammerhead killed Dr. Andrea Janson, Crown's lover, to lure him out. During the confrontation, Hammerhead was badly injured and S.H.O.C. figured out a way to defeat Crown, by having him drain the power of the HYDRA's ship, overloading him. Crown later returned as Hunger, a vampire, and battled Blade and Spider-Man. S.H.O.C. however was coming to terms with himself, since the armor was killing him, like it did with Crown.

While trying to get his life straight, Todd was ambushed by the Hand and was killed, only to be resurrected, brainwashed and used as a weapon against Wolverine in Wolverine: Enemy of the State. Luckily, SHIELD was able to stop the influence of Hydra and reverse the brainwash. His memory is slowly recovering, and he has become a hero once more.

The S.H.O.C. armor that he was bonded with allowed him access to high powered weapons that did not require reloading or recharging since it was powered by the Darkforce. He could utilize the combination of technology and mystic energies to enhance his strength, speed, fly (by creating Darkforce wings), teleport, melting into shadows, creating claws and other weapons from his body and shield of Darkforce energies.

Shotgun

Shotgun (Jensen "J.R." Walker) is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. The character, created by Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr., first appeared in Daredevil #271 (October 1989).

J.R. Walker was once a soldier in the United States Army before becoming an assassin working for the CIA. The CIA and Skip Ash sent Shotgun to retrieve a young blonde woman known as Number 9. He wound up battling Daredevil.

He has worked side by side with the Punisher at one point, teaming up to destroy the Carbone crime family. Shotgun had been hired to do this because the Carbone family were not the 'tame' Mafiosi that the government enjoyed. Shotgun saves the lives of the Punisher and ally Mickey Fondozzi. Shotgun and the Punisher then work to slaughter an isolated island full of international Mafia members. This particular battle results in the destruction of most of the Carbone family, with Rosalie Carbone being left in charge.

On the day when Randy Robertson and Janice Lincoln were about to be married, Shotgun crashed the wedding on his motorcycle where he used special bullets to wound Tombstone. While Tombstone was taken to the hospital, Spider-Man pursued Shotgun who managed to evade him.

During the "Gang War" storyline, Shotgun watches Spider-Man and She-Hulk fight the invading monsters from Monster Metropolis as he gets a call stating that Tombstone is awake. Shogtun was with Madame Masque when Hammerhead's men come looking for Hammerhead. He was shown to have a defeated Count Nefaria and Silvermane's head in his arms as he throws them to the ground. Shotgun gives Madame Masque a status on the gang wars and the acquiring of Crime Master's former territory. It turns out that Shotgun is being controlled by a magical spell that Madame Masque mastered as she casts a spell to renew it after Shotgun mentioned his "former bosses". He and a mind-controlled Count Nefaria and Silvermane were with Madame Masque when they confronted Beetle and her followers in Central Park. During the fight in Central Park, Tombstone subdued Shotgun enough to break the mind-control sigil. While mentioning his full named and occupation, Shotgun tells Tombstone that the U.S. government has the files on all the crime lords including Janice Lincoln as Madame Masque mind-controlled him before he can take her out. Tombstone then knocks Shotgun out. Regaining conscious, Shotgun shoots the mind-control sigils off of Count Nefaria and Silvermane before fleeing.

An athletic man with no superhuman powers, Shotgun is a highly experienced hand-to-hand combatant and an expert marksman with most known firearms. Shotgun wears Kevlar (body armor) for protection. He uses a high-powered recoilless rifle firing a variety of explosive, concussive, combustible and disintegrative ammunition, and also has a specially designed one-man tank. Shotgun's equipment was designed by Central Intelligence Agency weaponry research and design.

Siege

Siege (John Kelly) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

After reverse engineering and deconstructing the body of the original Deathlok, Luther Manning, Harlan Ryker of the Roxxon Oil subsidiary Cybertek Systems built a proto type of a new, vastly improved Deathlok cyborg. Colonel John Kelly, a disenfranchised veteran of the Vietnam War who had recently been fired from his job as a police officer, volunteered to become a scientific guinea pig, serving as the wetware basis for Ryker's project. The remains of John Kelly's original body have been incorporated into the framework of the Deathlok cyborg. However, in his first outing as the professional soldier Deathlok he rebelled against his computer's pre-programmed mission objectives and the onboard computer system electrocuted his brain as it determined Kelly to be 'malfunctioning.'

Sometime later, after Michael Collins had been operating as Deathlok for a number of months, the remains of John Kelly's brain were mutated into the horrific creature called Biohazard. Collins then discovered within the Deathlok computer's databanks a file named "John Kelly." Opening this file he discovered a copy of John Kelly's consciousness preserved as pure data inhabiting the file in a dormant state. Upon his opening of the file, the copy of Kelly infected Michael Collins's own brain operating as a second consciousness to the annoyance of them both. This situation did not persist long, however, as shortly afterwards Deathlok discovered Harlan Ryker to be working on a new, much improved series of cyborg soldiers, this time with lobotomized brains to avoid the issues he had experienced with both Kelly and Collins. During the ensuing battle the copy of Kelly's consciousness was transferred into the mind of one of the newer cyborgs, freeing Collins from playing host to his unwanted guest and giving Kelly back a semblance of life. As a cyborg, with Deathlok, Silver Sable and the Wild Pack, he battled Mainframe, Ben Jacobs, and the Cyberwarriors. Kelly christened himself Siege after a nickname an old war buddy had given him. With Deathlok and Coldblood, he battled Harlan Ryker, Mainframe, Ben Jacobs, and the Cyberwarriors.

Siege operated as a mercenary for some time working for Silver Sable, S.H.I.E.L.D., and various others. With Silver Sable, the Wild Pack, Next Wave, and the Knights of Wundagore, he battled the Genesis Coalition and the Cyberwarriors. He defeated an airstrike on U.S. troops by a hostile foreign power in the mideast. With Deathlok, he battled Timestream and his mercenaries in Australia. With Deathlok, he experienced the Goddess's epiphany. Alongside Daredevil, he battled Venom and the Hand. With Deathlok and Godwulf, he battled Timestream, the Demolisher, and Luther Manning in the past.

During the Superhero Civil War, Siege joined the Initiative and was assigned to lead the Florida state team the Command, along with Wundarr the Aquarian, Jennifer Kale and the Conquistador. The team investigates a disturbance in the Citrusville swamp (home to the Man-Thing and the Nexus of all Realities). The Conquistador is torn apart. Wundarr is infected but purges himself. Siege is bitten on the face by a zombie and despite his cybernetic nature was quickly turned as well. He attacks Jennifer Kale, saying he only wanted her on the team because of her 'barbarian bikini' outfit she formerly wore. His onboard computer alerts A.R.M.O.R. to the fact that he was seemingly malfunctioning. The cyborg part shoots off Siege's head.

Sister Dagger

Sister Dagger (Zheng Esme), also known as Deadly Dagger, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Gene Luen Yang, Dike Ruan, and Phillip Tan, she first appeared in Shang-Chi #1 and was introduced as the younger half-sister of Shang-Chi.

One of the many daughters of the sorcerer and crime lord Zheng Zu, Esme was raised in her father's Five Weapons Society as the Champion the House of the Deadly Dagger outside of Paris. Much like with her siblings and other Society members, Esme was raised in isolation, with her only knowledge of the outside world coming from YouTube.

When Esme's half-sister Sister Hammer names herself as the new Supreme Commander of the Five Weapons Society over its rightful successor, Shang-Chi, Sister Dagger and her half-brother Brother Sabre approach Shang-Chi to usurp Hammer. Shang-Chi reluctantly joins them to free his remaining family from his father's cult.

Although initially cold and hostile to him, Sister Dagger eventually warms to Shang-Chi and tells him her real name.

Sister Dagger helps Shang-Chi defend London from Sister Hammer and her Jiangshi army. After their victory, Shang-Chi is named the new Supreme Commander of the Five Weapons Society and offers Sister Dagger a place at his side, who happily accepts.

While Sister Dagger and Shang-Chi are investigating a rogue Society-operated drug ring in Manhattan, they team up with Spider-Man, a frequent ally and one-time martial arts student of Shang-Chi. Despite accepting Spider-Man's assistance, Shang-Chi does not tell him about the Society, much to Sister Dagger's frustration. Spider-Man is severely injured by the actions of the drug ring's leader, a former Society member named King Wild Man and after Sister Dagger accuses him of being ashamed of her, Shang-Chi reluctantly tells Spider-Man the truth about his family and new title. Sister Dagger accompanies Shang-Chi on several more missions, including recruiting their mutant half-sister Zheng Zhilan as the new Sister Staff and rescuing Shang-Chi's mother Jiang Li from the Negative Zone. After Brother Sabre's theft of a Cosmic Cube leads to an altercation between the Five Weapons Society and the Avengers, Shang-Chi hands Brother Sabre over to his superhero allies as a prisoner, which damages his relationship with Sister Dagger.

Despite her anger towards him, Sister Dagger comes to Shang-Chi's aid when his grandfather Chieftain Xin kidnaps Jiang Li and begins targeting anyone possessing Zheng Zu's bloodline. Sister Dagger reunites with Brother Sabre after she and her siblings rescue him from one of Xin's attacks and rescues Sister Hammer from Xin's Qilin Riders. The reunited Champions travel to Jiang Li's and Xin's home dimension Ta-Lo and back to the House of the Deadly Hand in Chinatown, Manhattan to defend the Five Weapons Society with Jiang Li against Xin and the Riders, who are eventually defeated by Shang-Chi with the Ten Rings. Afterwards, Sister Dagger makes amends with Shang-Chi and returns to the House of the Deadly Dagger. Sister Dagger would continue assisting Shang-Chi and the Society.

In battle, Blaze repeatedly shot Skinner with his shotgun, until Skinner was only a skeleton. He survived, however, but Ghost Rider arrived and killed him with hellfire. After they left, however, Skinner regenerated.

After this Skinner sought out new humans to steal their flesh so that he may appear human again. He decided he would wear his mother's flesh for revenge. He later attempted to kill Blaze and Ghost Rider again, this time by running then over with a stolen truck. A battle then followed, which Blaze would have lost had it not been to intervention from Lilith and Centurious appeared and abducted Blaze and Skinner, leaving Ghost Rider.

Skinner later escaped, only to be captured again, this time by the government, who planned to use him in a research and containment center called the Black Hole. Skinner was operated on so that they could discovered what his flesh was made out of, and the center's supervisor, Spook, was cruel to Skinner and taunted him over the death of his family. Ghost Rider was later imprisoned in the center, which allowed Skinner to escape as well. Skinner then started a prison break, which caused Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers to come and try to keep the situation under control. During the riot Skinner attacked Ghost Rider. Ghost rider used his penance stare on Skinner, which did weakened Skinner and made Ghost Rider feel the pain of Skinner's victims.

After escaping the Black Hole, Skinner, who pleased by the news of his mother's death, ended his feud with Blaze and Ghost Rider, and no longer pursued then for revenge. He was later captured and imprisoned in the Vault. After its destruction by the U-Foes, however, Skinner escaped and set out on a quest to kill those who he feels are responsible for the death of his family.

Vic Slaughter

Victor "Vic" Slaughter is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, created by Len Kaminski, first appeared in Morbius: The Living Vampire #6 (December 1992).

A government-trained mercenary, he is a nemesis of Morbius, the Living Vampire, as well as Wolverine.

Slayback

Slayback is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Primarily an enemy of Deadpool, the character exists within Marvel's main shared universe, known as the Marvel Universe. Created by writer Fabian Nicieza and artist Joe Madureira, the character first appeared in Deadpool: The Circle Chase #1 (August 1993).

Claiming to have come from a wealthy and loving home, Australian-born Gregory Terraerton was at some point turned into a cyborg dubbed "Slayback" by the Weapon X Program. Slayback afterward became a mercenary and worked alongside fellow Weapon X members Deadpool, Garrison Kane, and Sluggo, as well as the mutant shapeshifter Copycat. Over time, Deadpool grew disgusted by Slayback's sociopathy and sadism and attempted to kill him by blowing him up, unaware that Slayback had regenerative abilities that, over a period of ten years, allowed him to recover from Deadpool's attack.

Obsessed with getting revenge on Deadpool, Slayback stole files pertaining to him from Department K and attempted to force Kane into revealing Deadpool's whereabouts. Next, Slayback, aware that Deadpool was among the mercenaries competing for Tolliver's inheritance, discerned that it was located in a Nepalese temple, where he captured Copycat. When Deadpool, Kane and Weasel arrived to claim Tolliver's treasure, Slayback attacked them and fatally wounded Copycat. The android Zero, who had been among Tolliver's belongings, was reactivated by the battle and disintegrated Slayback.

Slayback survived or was resurrected and went to work for Doctor Westergaard, who had Slayback capture Deadpool for use as a test subject for her experiments involving the Legacy Virus. Deadpool was rescued by Wolverine and Maverick while Slayback was abandoned and blown up by Westergaard.

Allison Kemp later hired Slayback and T-Ray to help her kill Deadpool. When Deadpool attacked Kemp's airship, Slayback panicked and attempted to flee via parachute pack, realizing too late that Deadpool had stuffed it full of explosives which detonated in mid-air as Slayback screamed, "Oh, fu-". Slayback was subsequently shown running amok in Hell during a period of cosmic imbalance caused by Death being imprisoned by Eternity.

The revived Slayback rejoined Weapon X and was seemingly killed yet again when a group of the organization's escaped test subjects stabbed and immolated him during Death of Wolverine. Slayback afterward appeared as one of the villains vying for the Rigellian Recorder acquired by Deadpool and the Mercs for Money. When questioned about his return by an annoyed Deadpool, Slayback merely quips, "The kind of money being offered for killing you... is worth crawling outta the grave for!"

Smart Alec

Smart Alec (Alexander "Alec" Thorne) is a fictional mutant in Marvel Comics, and a member of Alpha Flight. He first appeared in Alpha Flight #1 (August 1983) and was created by John Byrne. He was unidentified in his first appearance and was not named until Alpha Flight #8.

The character subsequently appears in Alpha Flight #7 (February 1984), #11–13 (June–August 1984), and Alpha Flight Special (1992) in a flashback story.

Alec Thorne was born in London, England. As a mutant, he was contacted by James Hudson to be one of the first members to join Department H. Alec was also one of the first recruits to join The Flight, a precursor to Alpha Flight. In their first mission, they stopped the terrorist known as Egghead from launching a thermonuclear missile at the United States. Later, after Hudson divided the team into three smaller groups, Thorne (as Smart Alec) began training in Gamma Flight.

Sometime after Gamma Flight was disbanded, its members were contacted by Jerry Jaxon to join Omega Flight in his bid for vengeance against Hudson. During the fight between Omega Flight and Alpha Flight, Smart Alec was defeated when he looked in Shaman's magical medicine bag; the resulting mental shock shut down his mind. Shaman shrank him down to miniature size and placed him in the bag, until a way could be found to restore his mind.

Snowbird was later forced to kill Sasquatch to vanquish the Great Beast, Tanaraq, who co-inhabited his body. His mind was eventually transferred into Box's robot body. Langkowski's mind eventually entered Thorne's tiny body in an attempt to return to the human world. Thorne's body was finally killed when Langkowski merged his mind into the Box robot to defeat Pestilence, whose freed mind had inhabited the body of Snowbird (who was in the form of Sasquatch at the time), before Langkowski took over the Sasquatch body.

Smart Alec appears as part of the "Omega Flight" entry in The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #9.

Martin Soap

Lieutenant Martin Soap is a fictional police officer, and ally of the Marvel Comics antihero the Punisher. He was created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, and first appeared in The Punisher Volume 5, #2 (May 2000).

Moments after his birth, Soap was dropped on his head by a nurse. He was then abandoned at an orphanage in Dunmore, New Jersey, where he remained from 1971 to 1987. Soap was bullied by the staff and the other children, and during one unsuccessful attempt at running away he was inspired to become a police officer by the alcoholic detective who brought him back to the orphanage. Soap rose through the ranks of the NYPD to become a detective himself, despite all of his cases being botched by an improbable turn of events, such as a judge being declared insane, or an entire jury taking ecstasy.

When the Punisher resurfaces and declares war on the Gnucci crime family, Soap is assigned to the Punisher Task Force, a sinecure with only one other member, a neurotic behavioral psychologist named Buddy Plugg. After Soap criticizes his profile of the Punisher, the distraught Plugg hangs himself in his and Soap's shared office.

Soap is later approached by Molly von Richthofen, a lieutenant, and the sole member of another pointless task force, one supposedly dedicated to dismantling the Gnucci family. The two join forces, and stake out Ma Gnucci's mansion, intending to step in and arrest whoever remains after the Punisher inevitably lays siege to the building. Over the course of their investigation, Soap and Molly become friends, and remain so even after Molly shoots down Soap's attempt to pursue a romantic relationship with her by revealing that she is a lesbian. After killing Ma Gnucci and destroying her mansion, the Punisher confronts Soap and Molly, and offers them Ma's compromising photographs of the mayor and the police commissioner in exchange for all of the information that the NYPD has pertaining to the Vigilante Squad. With the photographs, Soap is able to blackmail his way into becoming the new commissioner; while Soap is basking in his good fortune, a bird defecates on his head.

Soap is demoted back to detective and once again assigned to the Punisher Task Force after pictures of him soliciting a prostitute surface. The dismayed Soap attempts suicide, but is stopped by the Punisher, who convinces Soap to become his informant within the NYPD. After Soap kills serial killer John "Bubba" Prong in self-defense, Soap is promoted to Lieutenant.

Soap is later taken hostage by hired goons working for ruthless tabloid reporter Chuck Self, who forces the Punisher to take Self along with him while the Punisher spends a night killing gangsters and petty criminals. If Castle fails to comply with Self's orders, Self-will text-message his men to kill Soap. During the course of being chased by gang members and Mafiosos, Self is injured several times while the Punisher himself remained unscathed. Self is later killed by accidentally falling into a woodchipper, and Castle returns to save Soap by killing Self's thugs. The Punisher leaves Self's mangled corpse on the hood of his own car, then Castle and Soap walk away.

Soap is seen as a bar regular, falsely believing the bartender, Kevin, to be one of his true friends. Kevin is amused by Soap's lack of awareness when choosing dates, including, but not limited to, a killer ex-con, a transvestite and a woman Kevin believes is Soap's own long-lost mother. When Soap nearly kills himself with a gun in the men's bathroom, Kevin intervenes, and Soap believes that it is out of concern for his well-being. But when Kevin makes a snarky comment because he didn't want a mess and preferred Soap to kill himself at his home, Soap snaps at Kevin, threatens him with his gun and terrifies him before storming off, having found self-confidence in himself. Soap tries to arrest the Punisher but fails to stop him. Soap then becomes despondent; Castle then tells Soap when things aren't getting better, to "just go".

Soap leaves the NYPD, moves to Los Angeles and becomes a porn star. Up to that point, he had simply been unaware that he has large genitals.

Martin Soap in other media

• Soap appears in Punisher: War Zone, portrayed by Dash Mihok. This version is a clumsy, incompetent man with a degree in behavioral psychology who is assigned to the Punisher Task Force, a meaningless sinecure with him as the only member, since the NYPD is fully in sympathy with the Punisher's actions but has to cosmetically appear as though it is trying to discourage vigilantism. Soap is partnered with Paul Budiansky, an FBI agent fixated on apprehending the Punisher, who had killed an undercover agent by mistake. Midway through the film, it is revealed that Soap is actually one of the Punisher's allies, feeding him information on his various targets. By the time Budiansky has figured this out, he has realized how evil the criminals they are up against are, and how powerless the "system" is to punish them. Soap and Budiansky both assist the Punisher in rescuing the dead agent's family from Jigsaw. In the aftermath, Soap starts to walk the Punisher home, beginning an unsolicited lecture on the benefits of mercy and rehabilitation instead of outright execution – but halts when he is menaced by a mugger, whom the Punisher kills.

Spear

Spear is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Jasper Daniels is the brother of a convict named Jack Daniels and an unnamed brother who operated as Mangler. When Jack was dying of an inoperable brain tumor, he was a candidate for the "Power Man" experiments. When Jack couldn't survive the early "Power Man" experiments, Spear blamed Dr. Noah Burstein and began developing identities that would serve him in his quest to avenge his brother. Spear watched Noah Burnstein from the shadows. Noah noticed him but did not say anything to Power Man. Spear fired on Dr. Burnstein while he was walking with Luke Cage and Claire Foster so that he can fight with Luke Cage. Despite Luke Cage's best efforts, Spear managed to do a near fatal shot on Dr. Burnstein and escaped. Shortly after the attack, Spear shot a hollow shaft with a message to Dr. Burnstein confirming his attack on him. Spear later tracked Luke Cage's movements and was on hand to rescue Mangler after an ill-advised attack on Luke Cage. While Mangler distracted Luke Cage, Spear sent another message to Dr. Burnstein and once again decided to let him live. He left a message for him to meet him at the East River pier. When Dr. Burnstein did so, he was speared by Spear in front of Luke Cage's eyes. Two young adults witnessed Spear escaping the pier. Spear then attempted to rescue Mangler from police custody which was thwarted by Luke Cage. Not wanting to lose another son, Spear's mother tipped off Luke Cage and Quentin Chase as to his whereabouts. Luke Cage and Quentin Chase confronted Spear at his tenement apartment. He engaged Luke Cage in a running battle which took to the top of an outbound bus which crashed into the Hudson River. After knocking out Spear, Luke Cage handed him over to the police.

During the Shadowland storyline, Spear appeared as a member of Nightshade's Flashmob (which also consisted of Chemistro II, Cheshire Cat, Comanche, Dontrell Hamilton, and Mr. Fish II) where they attacked Victor Alvarez on a rooftop. Spear was quickly pinned to the wall by Power Man and then knocked out by Luke Cage. Flashmob was remanded to Ryker's Island. Nightshade's solicitor Big Ben Donovan was able to secure Spear's release. During the Spider-Island storyline, Spear was with Flashmob when they tried to leave a spider-infested Manhattan only to be defeated by Heroes for Hire.

After his brother Mangler is attacked by a gang of "preemptive" vigilantes, Spear and the relatives of other ex-cons who had been assaulted resort to asking the Heroes for Hire for help. The vigilantes crash the meeting followed by the New York City Police Department. In the confusion that follows, Spear is arrested along with Iron Fist. Spear is remanded to Ryker's Island where he reunites with his brother Mangler. Together, the two form a group with Iron Fist and fellow inmates Gamecock and Big Ben Donovan's son Little Ben Donovan.

Spirit of '76

Spirit of '76 (William Naslund) debuted as a member of the short-lived superhero team the Crusaders in The Invaders #14–15 (March–April 1977), created by Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins. In a canonical portion of a story in issue #4 (August 1977) of the alternative universe series What If?, Naslund succeeds Steve Rogers as Captain America, the first of three official replacements until Rogers resumed the role years later. This retcon became necessary after Marvel's conflicting accounts of Captain America in 1950s and 1960s comics had created a discrepancy.

William Naslund had no superhuman powers but was a brilliant athlete and a superb hand-to-hand combatant. As the Spirit of '76, he designed and wore a cloak made of an unknown bulletproof and fireproof material. As Captain America, he carried a steel shield, approximately 2.5 feet in diameter and fashioned by the U.S. government after the design used by the original Captain America.

Anubhav Chaudhry of Sportskeeda wrote, "His story is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by heroes during times of war." Nicholas Friedman of Comic Book Resources ranked William Naslund 18th in their "The Very Best Captain Americas" list.

Fictional character biography

William Naslund was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. An athletic young man, hoping to help the Allies' World War II efforts in a unique way, he develops exceptional fighting skills and learns to copy some of the moves Captain America employed with the discus-like shield that he carried. He is recruited by a mysterious man called "Alfie" to become a costumed hero in the new team of adventurers called the Crusaders, alongside Dyna-Mite, Ghost Girl, Thunderfist, Captain Wings, and Tommy Lightning. The team eventually learns that Alfie is a German agent, but not before he has manipulated them into fighting the Allied super-team the Invaders. Upon learning how they had been duped, all the Crusaders but Naslund left costumed adventuring.

When the original Captain America, Steve Rogers, and his sidekick, Bucky, went missing in action in 1945, U.S. President Harry S. Truman recruited Naslund and a young man named Fred Davis to become the new Captain America and Bucky. Alongside Namor the Sub-Mariner and the original Red Guardian, the new Captain America stopped a Nazi plot to destroy the Potsdam Conference. They briefly fought alongside the post-war All-Winners Squad, battling Isbisa and, with the Blonde Phantom, fought to prevent a criminal attempt to steal the atomic bomb, encountering a time-traveling She-Hulk during this mission. Naslund was killed in 1946 in the line of duty when he was crushed to death by a robot serving the android named Adam II while warning the rest of the All-Winners Squad of Adam II's attempt to kidnap or kill then-Congressional candidate John F. Kennedy in Boston. Naslund was succeeded as Captain America by Jeffrey Mace, formerly the superhero Patriot. Naslund was later brought through time by the Contemplator to battle an Adam II of an alternate world alongside the original Captain America, Jeffrey Mace, and the 1950s Captain America.

Spirit of Vengeance (Wileaydus Autolycus) is the Ghost Rider from an alternate future of the Marvel Universe and member of the Galactic Guardians.

The character, created by Jim Valentino, first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy #12 (May 1991) as the inheritor of the Ghost Rider mantle in the alternate timeline/reality Marvel Comics designated as Earth-691. The first appearance of the Spirit of Vengeance aspect of the character was in the following issue, Guardians of the Galaxy #13 (June 1991).

He first encounters the Guardians of the Galaxy while they are responding to a distress call from Firelord in the Tilnast system. Mistaking the ship as one carrying Black Knights of Truth as reinforcements for the Universal Church of Truth, he undergoes his first transformation into the Spirit of Vengeance and blindly attacks the Guardians. Realizing his error, he sets out to "atone for this transgression" by charging into the heart of the fleet to buy the Guardians time to escape. Instead, the Guardians are captured and brought before the Grand Inquisitor of the Universal Church of Truth on Sarka. The Spirit of Vengeance, with help from Replica, enables the Guardians escape. Before leaving, Vance Astro asks him to join them and consider changing his methods. He declines, saying he preferred to complete his work on Sarka, but that he would think on it as he kills the Grand Inquisitor.

Later, he is among those that respond to Martinex's call for help. He helps the gathered heroes save Martinex's homeworld and becomes one of the founding members of the Galactic Guardians.

Spyne

Spyne is a fictional character in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. His first appearance was in Cable #17.

Spyne was one of the mutant members of the Dark Riders. A monstrous and cannibalistic carnivore with fangs, claws, and a tail, Spyne views his adversaries as a meal more than anything else. Spyne was first seen with the Dark Riders as they hunted down the team's former member Foxbat in Alexandria, Egypt. Later, Spyne was amongst those Dark Riders that hunted Caliban in the Morlock tunnels and clashed with Cable, Storm, and Domino. Spyne was able to disarm Cable, but Cable defeated him with his telekinetic powers.

After clashing with Cable and his allies once more in Egypt, where their leader was revealed to be Cable's son Tyler, calling himself Genesis, Spyne and the Dark Riders captured Faye Livingstone, a woman who once had a romantic history with Mister Sinister. The Dark Riders then captured Jean Grey for Genesis. After the events with Mister Sinister, Spyne took part in breaking Cyber out of a Scottish dungeon and took them to their rebuilt fortress in Egypt where the villain was stripped of his adamantium in a process that killed him. When the feral X-Man Wolverine infiltrated their fortress, the Dark Riders captured him and attempted to use Cyber's former adamantium skin to bond to Wolverine's bones, recently removed of its original adamantium by Magneto. When fellow X-Man Cannonball interfered with Genesis's plans for Wolverine, Spyne and the others started to beat up on Cannonball. This allowed Wolverine to break free from the bonding process, and both he and Cannonball fled to Apocalypse's resurrection chamber, where the Dark Riders pursued them. In the ensuing battle, Spyne was killed by Wolverine just as he was prepared to attack Cannonball. Wolverine then used Spyne's severed tail to ensnare and kill his fellow Dark Rider Deadbolt.

Spyne, along with several of his fellow Dark Riders, is resurrected by means of the Transmode Virus to serve as part of Selene's army of deceased mutants. Under the control of Selene and Eli Bard, he takes part in the assault on the mutant nation of Utopia. Later Spyne is part of the new Dark Riders that attempts to kill off all the mutant healers. He and the rest of the team are killed by Magneto's Uncanny X-Men and blow up with the remains of Genosha.

Squid later dragged a cigar store owner named "Old Man" Frenzetti into the sewers and later killed him. He later confronted his father at a bar and then stormed out as Peter Parker entered. Squid later came up through the sink pipes of Miguel Vargas' coffee shop in an attempt to kill him. Miguel escaped as Mike Callahan attacked him with a baseball bat.

The Squid also attacks one of Mister Negative's criminal operations, a brothel. Squid is later recruited by Max Fury to join the Shadow Council's incarnation of the Masters of Evil. He and Whiplash helped to subdue John Steele who is then taken down by Vengeance. Boomerang and Owl then hire Squid onto the Sinister Sixteen, assembled to distract the Chameleon's forces while Boomerang steals from him.

During the "AXIS" storyline, Squid and his gang called the Tentacles commit a robbery and take a family hostage. Spider-Man heads out to save the day but is beaten to the scene by the morally inverted Carnage who defeats and webs up Squid leaving behind a note that reads "From Your Friendly Neighborhood Carnage!" Spider-Man is surprised at this heroic action that Carnage committed.

Squid was among the villains that joined Swarm's Sinister Six at the time when Spider-Man and the students of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

Unnamed criminal

Following Spider-Man's fight with Goblin King, it was revealed that Roderick Kingsley had sold some of Squid's equipment to an unnamed criminal as he was seen at the Bar with No Name with the other former Hobgoblin minions when they encounter Electro.

Squid later appears as a member of the Hateful Hexad alongside Bearboarguy, Gibbon, Ox, Swarm, and White Rabbit. During the Hateful Hexad's disastrous fight against Spider-Man and Deadpool, the battle is crashed by Itsy Bitsy who threw one of her swords at the forehead of a webbed-up Squid.

Squid-Boy (Samuel "Sammy" Paré) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Chuck Austen and Ron Garney, the character is depicted as a 10-year-old mutant and as a student at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.

Sammy Paré is a 10-year-old Canadian boy whose genetic mutation causes him to physically resemble a fish. The physical nature of his mutation causes his classmates to ridicule him. Sammy considers using a gun to shoot his tormentors, but before he can do so, he is visited by Professor X and Beast, who recruit him to enroll at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning in New York. Beast and Professor X do this with full knowledge of the weapon Sammy is carrying around; he is convinced to give it up. Sammy, with his parents' approval, chooses to enroll at the school for mutants to pursue an education free from persecution. On the return trip to the institute, Professor X takes a detour to Ireland to aid in an X-Men mission at Cassidy Keep. Sammy saves Juggernaut (Cain Marko) from drowning in the ocean, which begins a friendship between the two. Cain subsequently reforms and becomes a surrogate father to Sammy, who also becomes friends with Carter Ghazikhanian and Icarus from the New Mutants.

Sammy's mother eventually finds out about his relationship with Cain and calls upon the Canadian super-team Alpha Flight to bring the boy home. Sometime after Sammy's departure, Juggernaut suspects that Sammy's father Claude is physically abusing him. Cain, who suffered similar abuse at the hands of his own father, decides to visit Sammy to investigate. When he and Northstar arrive at Sammy's home in Vancouver they find the boy covered in bruises. Cain snaps and severely beats Claude, destroying the Paré home in the process. He is subdued by Alpha Flight. When Cain is subsequently incarcerated for violating his parole, Sammy's mother testifies on his behalf. After Juggernaut's release, Sammy returns to the institute with his mother, who entertains the thought of a romantic relationship with Cain.

Later, Juggernaut infiltrates the Brotherhood of Mutants, working as a double agent for the X-Men. When Sammy stumbles upon a meeting of the group outside the school grounds, he assumes that Juggernaut betrayed the X-Men and lashes out at him before being killed by Black Tom Cassidy. During the Krakoan Age, he is resurrected on Krakoa.

Zebadiah Stane

Zebediah Stane is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

He was the father of Obadiah Stane / Iron Monger. Zebediah Stane was a degenerate gambler who lived with young Obadiah. One day (sometime after Obadiah's mother died of unknown reasons), Zebediah considered himself on a "lucky streak"; played a game of Russian roulette and shot himself in the head right in front of young Obadiah. This trauma caused Obadiah to lose all of his blond hair and go bald and shaped him for years to come. From there on, Obadiah Stane was a ruthless manipulator who studies his adversaries to find weaknesses to exploit.

After being defeated, Obadiah Stane tells Iron Man that he believed that Zebediah saw the world as his opponent and lost, then committed suicide (via his repulustor from his hand) in a similar way to Zebediah's gunshot to his head.

When Iron Man (after personally meeting Ezekiel Stane) remembers his past experience with Obadiah, one of the things Iron Man pointed out was that Zebediah (a degenerate gambler and a mean drunk as Iron Man saw it) accidentally killed himself in front of Obadiah.

Starbolt

First appearance	X-Men #107 (October 1977)
Created by	Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum
Species	Unidentified extraterrestrial race
Teams	Imperial Guard
Abilities	Flight, energy projection

Starbolt is a warrior serving in the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, a multi-ethnic group of super-powered alien beings who act as enforcers of the laws of the Shi'ar Empire. Created by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, the character first appeared in X-Men #107 (October 1977). Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Starbolt is the analog of a character from DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes: in his case Sun Boy (although some sources think his analog is Wildfire). Starbolt can fly and project energy bolts from hands.

Part of the division of the Imperial Guard known as the Superguardians, Starbolt was amongst the first of the Imperial Guard encountered by the team of superhuman mutant adventurers known as the X-Men who sought to rescue the Princess-Majestrix Lilandra from her insane brother, then-Majestor D'ken. Following the orders of their emperor, the Guard clashed with the X-Men on a nameless Shi'ar Empire planet and was on the verge of winning when the band of interstellar freebooters known as the Starjammers arrived to turn the tide of battle in the X-Men's favor. During the clash, Starbolt became enraged when he saw the feral X-Man Wolverine attacking his teammate and then-lover Oracle. After Starbolt flash-fried him, Wolverine quickly took the two lovers out of the fight by slamming them into each other.

Starbolt is featured prominently in an adventure set early in his career; the Guard and the current ruler of the Shi'ar empire are set upon by Skrull assassins and are rescued by the hero later known as Captain Marvel.

Starbolt was also one of eight Imperial Guardsmen chosen to battle the X-Men in a trial by combat over the fate of Phoenix, a primal force of the cosmos that had assumed the form of the X-Man Jean Grey.

Soon after, Starbolt was amongst those few Imperial Guard members who opposed the treacherous Shi'ar High Council member Lord Samédàr, who was aiding an attempted coup of the Shi'ar throne by Deathbird. Even after many of the Guard chose to side with Samédàr, Starbolt remained steadfast in his loyalty to then-Empress Lilandra. These Imperial Guard members went on a mission to find Lilandra and joined with Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde in battling Samédàr's renegade Imperial Guardsmen. Starbolt was captured but was freed on Lilandra's command.

Later, after the formerly exiled Deathbird had usurped the Shi'ar throne, Starbolt was amongst those Imperial Guard members who clashed with the British team of costumed adventurers known as Excalibur and the Starjammers over the fate of the then-bearer of the cosmic Phoenix Force, the alternate future daughter of Jean Grey named Rachel Summers.

Much later, the intergalactic teleporter Lila Cheney transported the X-Men to the Shi'ar Empire at the behest of then-Empress Deathbird. On Deathbird's behalf, Starbolt and the Imperial Guardsmen battled the X-Men and Starjammers, but the X-Men had arrived in Shi'ar space just in time to see Lilandra regain her throne. Not all was as it seemed, however, as in reality a group of Warskrulls, using technology to allow them to duplicate superpowers, had captured and impersonated the X-Men's founder, the telepathic Professor Charles Xavier, using his telepathy to control Lilandra, and the Imperial Guard, including Starbolt. After the ruse was discovered by the X-Men and all the Warskrull impostors were exposed, Lilandra settled matters with Deathbird, discovering her sister did not want the throne anymore.

During the war between the Shi'ar and Kree Empires, Starbolt was part of a small team of Guardsmen who were charged with preventing the member of the Earth team of super-powered beings known as the Avengers named Quasar from retrieving the legendary Nega-Bands of the Kree warrior Captain Marvel, which had been stolen. Starbolt battled Quasar and Her in space during the Kree-Shi'ar War, although Starbolt was defeated and captured by Quasar.

Subsequently, Starbolt was amongst those Imperial Guard members who defended Lilandra against an assassination attempt by the Kree Ronan the Accuser and his unwilling agents, the royal family of the Earth race known as the Inhumans. He survived the Imperial Guard's battle with Vulcan.

He was one of the views selected to explore "the Fault," but was killed by a group of horrifically mutated creatures from the Cancerverse during "Realm of Kings."

Kron Stone

There are two different versions of Kron Stone that appear in Marvel Comics and exist in the Marvel 2099 reality. He is the older half-brother of Miguel O'Hara / Spider-Man and eldest son of Tyler Stone.

Original 2099 version

As a child, Kron was continually abused by the android housekeeper, which mistook him for a dog. As a result, he later became a bully, taking enjoyment in other people's pain. The relationship between the two brothers is so conflicted that Miguel tried to kill Kron at one point. In his introduction, Stone ordered Jake Gallows' family to be killed. Gallows found Stone and fatally wounded him with a knife as revenge, before dumping his body into the sewer. As Kron laid dying in the sewer, his body brushed up against a black ball. The ball then bonded to him and formed a new Venom. The symbiote was described as having mutated over the years, and displayed new abilities in this timeline, including acidic blood and saliva. With this new power, Stone sought to emotionally torture Miguel—whom Kron never discovered was his half-brother—by hurting those close, going so far as to kill Miguel's former love Dana—who was also Tyler's lover. After a fight between Spider-Man and Venom, the former emerged as the victor, using loudspeakers to neutralize Venom, who was subsequently taken to the lab for study. It was revealed that the symbiote bonded with Kron on a molecular level, giving Kron an amorphous physiology that allowed his body to take on the properties of the symbiote itself.

Timestorm 2009–2099 version

A variation of Stone appears in the Timestorm 2009–2099 as the alternate Marvel 2099 reality version of Scorpion. Stone was one of Miguel's nightmares during high school, a bully used to do whatever he wanted thanks to the influence of his father ready to solve any trouble the son caused. One evening, Kron was tormenting the lab animals in an Alchemax laboratory, using the powerful instruments found there. While toying with a gene splicer, Stone was attacked by a sudden surge of energy, resulting in an explosion, and his DNA was fused with that of a lab scorpion. The incident transformed Stone in a hulking and monstrous beast, with his reason lost and the powerful instinct of an arachnid to guide him. Rejected by his father, he becomes obsessed with finding a way to reverse his mutation.

Tiberius Stone

Tiberius "Ty" Stone is Tyler Stone's grandfather. An acquaintance of Peter Parker, he was the Kingpin's agent and the Tinkerer's protégé, while his acts of sabotage led to Horizon Labs' destruction and to Alchemax's rise with Normie Osborn's Oscorp stock.

• Tiberius Stone appears in the Spider-Man episode "Cloak and Dagger", voiced by Jonathan Brooks. This version is the CEO of Alchemax.

Tyler Stone

Tyler Stone is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a nemesis of Miguel O'Hara / Spider-Man.

He runs the Alchemax Corporation, one of the largest corporate powers in the dystopian 2099 future of Earth. When his promising young employee Miguel O'Hara develops a troubling conscience over testing on humans, Stone has Miguel secretly addicted to the highly potent drug 'Rapture' that he controls to force his compliance. Miguel's successful efforts to rid himself of the addiction create several spider-based powers. Stone hires the corporate mercenary Venture to capture O'Hara, now known by the name Spider-Man. At the same time, Stone is making a deal concerning Latveria's current ruler, Tiger Wylde. The deposing of said ruler also affects the first few issues of the series "Doom 2099". Venture does not succeed in his assignment.

Stone arranges for one of his employees — the assassin and Stark/Fujikawa Corporation field operative known as "The Specialist" — to kidnap Kasey Nash to lure Miguel (as Spider-Man) into battle. The Specialist was an expert martial artist, trained as a samurai warrior, and highly proficient with various martial arts weaponry. However, during the battle with Spider-Man, his throat was accidentally slit as Miguel discovered these new powers included talons.

Stone then fired Public Eye Sgt. Rico Estevez, and reported the failure of his plans to the Alchemax CEO. Stone conferred with Mr. Hikaru of Stark-Fujikawa, and then conferred with Dana D'Angelo. He then plotted against Spider-Man and Stark-Fujikawa. Soon after that, Stone encountered Thanatos for the first time. Thanatos later disrupts Stone's interdimensional piercing program; chasing after an amnesiac super-powered being that becomes swept up in the events. Stone and his girlfriend Dana are assaulted and kidnapped in the course of this adventure. It is later detailed that Thanatos is a corrupted version of the heroic Rick Jones, a longtime associate of the Hulk.

Tyler's son Kron Stone, chronically neglected and physically abused by the family's robot nanny (it believed him to be a dog for a time), grew up to be an amoral murderer. His serial killings take the lives of Jake Gallows' extended family, resulting in his transformation into his era's Punisher. Kron, like many other rich people, has the ability to simply purchase his way out of any legal punishment and does so. This does not save him from death at Jake's hands.

Tyler interrupts his holographic observation of the Alchemax undersea colony rebuilding (Atlanteans had damaged it). He accepts the ashes of his son from his assistant, Winston; then flushes them down the toilet.

Tyler and Kron appear in various flashbacks in the 2099 series that deals with Miguel's education. In one story, he gets into a verbal sparring match with Miguel after Kron is accused of attempted murder.

Kron returns to life through interaction with an alien symbiote. Tyler attempts to have him slain again but is outmaneuvered.

For a time, the Doctor Doom of this period takes over America and reveals that Tyler is not the true power in Alchemax, it is Avatarr, a mysterious alien being. In a fit of rage, Doom kills Avatarr.

Miguel later infiltrates Tyler's building. He unexpectedly overhears his own mother conversing with Tyler. He then hears he is actually Tyler's son.

Later, Miguel becomes head of Alchemax. He hires his own mother as his personal secretary. Around this time, she shoots and severely wounds Tyler, forcing him to utilize a hover-chair. During his recovery in the hospital, Tyler learns his love Dana had been killed; the murderer turns out to be his son Kron.

Tyler realizes his son has returned to life due to interacting with the Venom symbiote. He attempts to have it slain but is resisted by the science team overseeing the symbiote's prison cell. Miguel then overrules him. After the funeral of Dana, whom both Miguel and Tyler had slept with, Tyler attempts to bully Miguel, saying he will be reclaiming his office on the next day. Tyler claims this will be done because he is Miguel's father. The man knows this already and has Tyler removed by security.

During Tyler's many attempts to regain control over the company, he recalls it was Mrs. O'Hara who shot him. She again pulls a gun, but Miguel takes the weapon. Tyler states he has always known O'Hara has been Spider-Man. Miguel fires three shots. It is revealed Tyler was utilizing a holographic projection. When questioned on if he knew it was projection before firing, Miguel says, "I hope so."

Undersea invaders rampage through New York as revenge for Alchemax threatening to remove them from the city of New Atlantis. The leader Roman flooded the city of New York, and summoned the monster Giganto, who had originally appeared decades ago. This starts an evacuation of the city. Tyler is shot to death by General Dagin of the Atlantean Army. Mrs. O'Hara also perishes in the conflict. Stone's Mars Colony, called 'Project: Ares', becomes one of the last two outposts of humanity, the Savage Land being the other. This is detailed in the series 2099: World of Tomorrow.

Tyler Stone is revealed to be the grandson of Tiberius Stone.

Stunner

Stunner aka Angelica Brancale was a character created during the Spider-Man Clone Saga and created by JM DeMatteis and Mark Bagley. She first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #397 (November 1994).

Stunner was originally a video store clerk but she managed to get a job working for Carolyn Trainer, a former student of Otto Octavius. She immediately fell in love with Octavius, her devotion to him only increasing when he used his virtual reality technology to make Angelina powerful and beautiful, dedicating herself to him and everything he did.

She was first seen using her virtual powers to destroy a bar. While in her Virtual form she tried to resurrect Octavius (who was killed by Kaine) after a battle with Spider-Man. As her real body was actually tied down into the virtual reality machine, the explosion that followed Otto's resurrection knocked her true form into a coma from which it took her years to awake from.

Upon hearing that her love, Otto Octavius, was dead again during Spider-Man: Ends of the Earth, she swore vengeance on the one responsible for it: the Superior Spider-Man (not knowing that he was actually Otto trapped in Peter's body).

Using Octavius' machine, Angelina once again took the form of Stunner and tried to hunt down Spider-Man, causing havoc in the city to draw the attention of his Spider-Bots and minions and lure him out. Otto, in Parker's body, tried to calm her down and almost revealed his secret (that he was actually Otto Octavius), but Stunner's blind rage prevented him from doing so. Seeing no other option, Superior Spider-Man engaged in battle, rendering Stunner powerless with his new and stronger web formula. He then sent a holographic transmission signal via his Spider-Bots and ordered them to shut down the machine Angelina was connected to. As "Parker" went to the university to meet his girlfriend Anna Maria, Stunner broke out of his web and pursued Spider-Man, throwing a bus at him. As he held the bus with his webs, his Spider-Bots managed to sever the connection to the Virtual Reality Machine, destroying Stunner and leaving Angelina unconscious. Upon getting to Angelina's apartment, Spider-Man took the V.R. Machine to his lab, where he created a Virtual Otto Octavius back to his former glory to calm down Angelina and make her think Doc Ock was still alive. "Parker" used this opportunity to break up with Angelina, saying that he had found a new love with Anna, but would always care for Angelina. She was last seen in her apartment, crying on her knees, as the Virtual Otto Octavius left the scene.

Styx and Stone

Main article: Styx and Stone

Styx and Stone (Jacob Eishorn and Gerald Stone) are two fictional comic book characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are a criminal duo that have crossed Spider-Man's path on a number of occasions. They were created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane and first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #309. They reappeared in issues #332-333 and #376-377 of the same series.

Fictional character biography

Gerald Stone was an idealistic scientist who wanted to find a cure for cancer. He conducted an illegal experiment on a homeless person named Jacob Eishorn. The experiment failed and Eishorn became a living cancer, who needed to kill to survive. Now calling himself "Styx", Eishorn enjoyed the killing of innocents. Feeling responsible for Styx, Stone built high-tech weaponry for himself and turned the two of them into a mercenary duo. Stone hoped that as mercenaries, Styx wouldn't kill innocents, but by now Stone was willing to kill anybody to protect Styx. He planned on using the money they earned as mercenaries to find a cure for Styx.

On their first outing, the duo was hired by Jonathan Caesar, a millionaire obsessed with Mary Jane Watson to kidnap her. This brought them into conflict with Spider-Man, Mary Jane's husband, who defeated the duo. Styx and Stone returned to Caesar, who told them to try again. This time, the duo faced Spider-Man who was at the time in conflict with Venom. During the fight, Styx's touch nearly killed Venom and they were returned to prison.

A third meeting with Spider-Man involved the vigilante Cardiac. Cardiac's alter-ego, Dr. Elias Wirtham, had been a good friend of Stone and offered to cure Styx. Cardiac was convinced that Styx couldn't be cured or redeemed and tried to kill Styx. Spider-Man stopped Cardiac and the two fought, while Styx and Stone attempted, in vain, to escape.

After turning down a job offer from the Life Foundation, Styx and Stone try to rob the New York Stock Exchange, but are single-handedly subdued by Spider-Man.

A heavily mutated Styx and Stone later appear as the leaders of a group violent nihilists called "the Cult of Entropy". The duo and their followers attack a drug lab in Bolivia, but are forced into a retreat by Spider-Man, Deadpool, and the Mercs for Money.

Powers and abilities

Styx's touch can kill anything organic and can disintegrate organic matter within seconds. His fingers can grow longer to increase his range. His touch has no effect on synthetic or inorganic material and Spider-Man's synthetic costume was enough to protect his body from Styx's touch.

Stone wears two large weapons on his shoulders. These weapons can fire energy blasts, a blinding flash, a sticky resin to immobilize opponents and knockout gas. The duo often uses a flying platform of Stone's design.

While a member of the Cult of Entropy, Stone was somehow transformed into a golem-like creature that can turn inorganic material, such as Deadpool's Kevlar armor, into a fragile, rock-like substance by coming into physical contact with it.

A teenage version of Styx and Stone appears in the Ultimate Marvel universe as a street punk and a member of the Serpent Skulls gang.

Sublime

Sublime (also known as Dr. John Sublime) is a supervillain who is a sentient bacterium. The character is usually depicted as an enemy of the X-Men, and first appeared in the New X-Men Annual 2001 (September 2001). Sublime arose during the beginnings of life on Earth; with the subsequent rise of multicellular organisms, Sublime found endless numbers of hosts it could infect. As a sentient microscopic bacterial colony, Sublime can possess the body of any living organism and manipulate both psyche and physical appearance. Other abilities include mass mind control, personal genetic manipulation (which allows for accelerated healing), cellular shapeshifting, as well as performing any number of power enhancements.

It was hinted that the very hatred and fear of mutants was caused by Sublime itself. But the bacteria took more direct actions to ensure that the mutant population would be held in check, if not exterminated, to keep it from becoming the dominant species of the planet.

The first step was the Weapon Plus Project. Sublime took over a human body, dubbed Dr. John Sublime, and became the director of the Program, overseeing the creation of living weapons created by each installation of the program, from Captain America (Weapon I) to the Super-Sentinels – Fantomex, Huntsman, and Ultimaton (Weapon XIII, Weapon XII, and Weapon XV), passing through Nuke, Wolverine, and Deadpool, the latter two originating in the Weapon X Project, seemingly the most prolific living weapons producer.

For many years, Sublime remained behind the scenes, manipulating the Weapon Plus Project and installing Malcolm Colcord as the Director of Weapon X, which would eventually lead to the so-called War of the Programs between Colcord's replacement, Agent Brent Jackson, and Sublime, as Weapon X became an independent organization.

As millions of mutants were born worldwide, Sublime, still under the identity of John Sublime, took other steps to ensure the extermination of mutantkind. One of these steps was the creation of the TransSpecies Movement a.k.a. Homo Perfectus, a cult of humans that sought to empower themselves by grafting mutant body parts to their own bodies, but outwardly a group of 'mutants born in human bodies'. The militant faction of this group, the U-Men, refused to have any sort of contact with the world, which they considered impure, for which they sealed themselves in containment suits.

During a trip to Hong Kong's new office of the X-Corporation to investigate the murder of Risque, the X-Men discovered Sublime's farm of mutant prisoners. They were being harvested for mutant body parts which could give the U-Men powers. Sublime, who was in the country on a book tour, thus became aware of the X-Men's immediate threat to his plans. Sublime also tried to purchase the mutant healer Xorn in one such prison in China.

Although Xorn was rescued by the X-Men, he was a mole. Xorn, who was revealed to apparently be Magneto, became addicted to the drug "Kick", made from concentrated doses of Sublime's body. Xorn dealt the drug to Quentin Quire, thus placing Quire under Sublime's influence, which would cause the Open Day Riots made by the Omega Gang, and which led to the death of Sophie of the Stepford Cuckoos and Dummy, the bodiless, gaseous-form student of Xorn.

Meanwhile, Sublime and the U-Men spread their influence on New York City, where they kidnapped the telepath Martha Johansson, harvested her still-living brain, and used it as a weapon against the X-Men. Cyclops and Emma Frost, the White Queen, were kidnapped and tortured. They were sent off to be dissected, but escaped and confronted Sublime in his office. Emma, angry, held Sublime off a high ledge. Johansson forced Sublime to fall from Emma Frost's grip to his apparent death. The Sublime organism survived, regenerated its host body, and returned to actively overseeing Weapon Plus, as always, from the shadows.

Sublime suffered a setback in its plans with the destruction of two of Weapon Plus' Super-Sentinels (Huntsman/Weapon XII and Ultimaton/Weapon XV) and the defection of Fantomex (Weapon XIII). Sublime had envisioned a team of mutant-hunters with scripted actions operating from a space station (a section of Asteroid M) to make the genocide of mutantkind look like a "Saturday morning cartoon come to life". Weapon XII had already been destroyed during its test-drive; Fantomex, intended to be the smart, cool member of the team, refused to be anybody's weapon. Only Ultimaton remained, and even though he followed the direction of Weapon Plus operatives, he had begun to question his role as a slaughter machine but was ultimately killed by Wolverine.

Under the influence of Sublime via Kick, Xorn revealed himself to be Magneto, and assembled a new Brotherhood of Mutants to lay waste to the Xavier Institute and then New York City. They were defeated by the X-Men, but Xorn-Magneto, under Sublime's influence, killed Jean Grey, who was manifesting the powers of the Phoenix Force. Unbeknownst to all, the Phoenix was the ultimate threat to Sublime's plan. In retaliation for Jean's murder, Xorn-Magneto was beheaded by Wolverine.

Later, Chamber, an X-Man who had infiltrated Colcord's Weapon X organization, was ordered to assassinate Sublime by Brent Jackson, an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent turned Weapon X field leader. Chamber incinerated Sublime but Sublime again regenerated. At the same time, Sublime was also responsible for sending Sabretooth against Mister Sinister to obtain Sinister's latest creations, the Children (not to be confused with the Children of the Vault, a thematically similar team of characters but different in origin).

With the massive depowering of mutants following the House of M, mutantkind's threat to Sublime has been greatly diminished. However, it remains to be seen if the depowered mutants lost their innate immunity to the Sublime infection. In any event, Sublime appears as a computer-generated image and personality in X-Men: Phoenix – Warsong where he greets the remaining Stepford Cuckoos at The World, the base of operations for the Weapon Plus. He confirms that the Cuckoos are part of the larger Weapon XIV, the "Thousand-in-One," a telepathic gestalt of one thousand cloned daughters based on the ova of Emma Frost, taken by John Sublime years earlier when she was comatose. He facilitates the transfer of the Phoenix Force into all one thousand clones and uses robots to stop the X-Men, though "he" is defeated.

Sublime was responsible for the birth of the Stepford Cuckoos, extracting thousands of eggs from the ovaries of Emma Frost and harvesting them into humanoid/nanite hybrids designed to be killing machines. The hub of his program, the five sisters, were sent to the Xavier institute to be trained in the use of their telepathic legacy.

John Sublime returned in a new human host and surrendered himself to the X-Men, hoping they could fight his sister, Arkea.

With the rise of Krakoa as a mutant nation, the X-Men have discovered plenty of secrets about the mutant race including the means to resurrect some of the oldest mutants in all existence. Thanks to their successful battle against the Crimson Kin and brief trip into the past, the team was able to recover a time-drive containing the last of the original mutants known as Thresholders. With the help of the time-displaced Cerebra, the team is able to resurrect Amass, a young "Enriched" who had the ability to fuse themselves with others. This also allowed them to save the hedonistic Crave and their leader, Theia. The three reveals to the Marauders that they were among the last of Threshold, the first ancient mutant civilization. They coexisted with early humans, whose wisdom served as a crucial check in the Enriched culture. But an ancient water-based species known as the Unbreathing went to war with the Enriched. Their increasingly dark plans resulted in the creation of biological weapons and hybrid bacteria which became self-aware and turned against the culture. The massively powerful psychic Cassandra Nova reveals that she has glimpsed into their minds and confirms that the bacteria they created are actually Sublime and his sister Arkea.

Soon afterwards, several of Krakoa's young mutants and their mentor Wolfsbane are kidnaped by the U-Men at a peaceful rally, much to the dismay of Cerebella who has intense trauma related to the evil U-Men. As Escapade, the newest edition to Krakoa's New Mutants crew, attempts to break the group out of their cage, John Sublime makes a surprise appearance, threatening the group with death and holding the glass jar that Martha's brain was originally held in, with the clear intention of turning her back into a floating brain at his service.

Sugar Man

Sugar Man is a mutant villain created by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Chris Bachalo, and first appeared in Generation Next #2 (April 1995).

Sugar Man first appeared during "Age of Apocalypse", an event that caused Marvel Universe's history to diverge. Although many of the storyline's characters were alternate versions of existing heroes and villains, Sugar Man does not appear to have an Earth-616 counterpart.

Sugar Man hails from the dystopian reality of the Age of Apocalypse, where Apocalypse conquered North America and set up a system in which mutants ruled. Little to nothing is known about this twisted figure's childhood. With his grotesque appearance and psychotic personality, Sugar Man quickly earned himself a reputation as a brilliant geneticist, as well as a sadistic torturer under Mister Sinister's direction, and like his teacher, Sugar Man so too had built secret labs all over North America, with one at Niagara Falls where he regularly torments his human slaves.

Sugar Man was later placed in charge of Pacific Northwest's human slave camp, the "Seattle Core". Magneto needed a mutant with time travel powers to go back in time to restore reality's proper order before Charles Xavier's death, whose existence was revealed by Bishop, a displaced mutant from Earth-616. Apocalypse had already killed all mutants with chrono-variant powers to prevent anyone from undermining his regime, but Know-It-All was able to locate one with latent powers: Illyana Rasputin, the sister of Generation Next's leader, Colossus.

Magneto sends the fledgling group, Generation Next, to the Core in an attempt to rescue her. During their mission, Sugar Man encounters and kills several of the members, including Vincente and Mondo. During the process, Sugar Man is seemingly destroyed. In reality, however, he lost most of his mass and shrank to a minuscule size. He hides in Colossus' boot during the assault on Apocalypse's citadel.

In the 2000 Blink limited series, a flashback reveals that Sugar Man was once the jailer in charge of cellmates Illyana Rasputin and Blink (before she was rescued as a young girl by Weapon-X and Sabretooth) in a prison facility where he regularly experiments with them.

During the assault on Apocalypse's citadel, Sugar Man takes advantage of the chaos to escape by jumping into the M'Kraan Crystal, the "Nexus of all realities". He arrives in the Earth-616 timeline, arriving in an unspecified location some twenty years in the past. With no apparent counterpart in this universe and no-one to remember him, Sugar Man travels to Genosha where he continues his genetics work behind the scenes. At some point, he approached Dr. David Moreau, a scientist who lived and worked on Genosha. Using techniques developed in his home reality, the Sugar Man sold his work on the Mutate bonding process to Dr. Moreau. Dr. Moreau, who would go on to be called the Genegineer, used the process to turn the mutant inhabitants of Genosha into mindless slaves. Years later, when the X-Men helped topple Dr. Moreau and the Genoshan government, ending the enslavement of mutants, they remained completely unaware of the existence of the Sugar Man or his role in the creation of the Mutate process. As the months and years passed, the Sugar Man quietly orchestrated things in his favor during the more peaceful government run by Sasha Ryan.

Eventually, this government falls into a brutal civil war. When the mutant team Excalibur is investigating the first Mutate slave of Genosha, they almost learn the secret of the Sugar Man; however, this is thwarted when Sugar Man activates a device that kills the Mutate before his involvement can be revealed. When Excalibur continues to keep searching for the secret history of Genosha, Sugar Man prevents them by destroying the master computer holding the information.

Detecting that X-Man, another refugee from Earth-295, is active in Earth-616, Sugar-Man sends his agent Rex to eliminate him to maintain his anonymity. Much to his frustration, the first assassination attempt is interrupted by Selene. Sugar Man then attempts to capture Alex Summers, using a copycat of the deceased Scarlet McKenzie as his operative. She fails, and he eventually gives up after learning that another refugee from "The Age of Apocalypse", Beast, now calling himself "Dark Beast", is also trying to capture him.

When Nate Grey's Earth-616 counterpart, Cable, travels to Genosha and becomes involved, his presence was picked up by Sugar Man who mistook him for his Earth-295 counterpart and incorrectly figured Nate Grey had come after him following their recent altercation. He made arrangements for the Press Gang to attack and kill "X-Man" and his associates. Sugar Man pleasantly realizes that "X-Man" was actually an older version of the Nate Grey he knew. When Cable tried to stop him telepathically, he was overwhelmed by the transtemporal jumble that still existed within Sugar Man's mind. Aware he was fighting a losing battle and eager to cover his tracks, Sugar Man initiated meltdown procedures for the nuclear core powering his base. As Cable, Domino, Jenny Ransome, Phillip Moreau, and the brainwashed ex-Magistrate Pipeline try to deactivate the bomb, Sugar Man used the confusion and fear to escape, only to be opposed by Philip Moreau. Stunning him with stories of how he and his father created the mutate bonding process, Sugar Man abducted Philip and teleported out of sight. Sugar Man's plans for Phillip remain unknown. With the database destroyed, Sugar Man's existence is kept secret. The clues themselves were passed to Phillip by Mister Sinister, who had long suspected that the Genosha mutate process was based on his own genetic research.

After nearly coming face-to-face with 616's Mr. Sinister in Genosha, Sugar-Man begins working with the Dark Beast to keep their existence secret: Sinister learning that they are the ones who are using his techniques in 616 would work against them. In this vein, they target Bishop, who retains memories from the Age of Apocalypse. After the failed attempt to slay Bishop by using the Dark Beast's operative Fatale, the two refugees part company.

Sugar Man returns to Earth-295's past Earth-295 by utilizing a hyper dimensional device. After succeeding, he quickly resumes experimentation on a super-virus that he hopes to bring back to Earth-616 to wipe out humanity. Unfortunately for Sugar Man, Nate Grey follows him and, with the help of Magneto and Forge, thwarts his plot and sends him back to Earth-616.

Back in 616, Sugar Man and the other refugees from Earth-295 are targeted by the Shi'ar empire, who see Holocaust's embedded shard of the M'Kraan Crystal as sacrilege. When the shard is removed, all refugees are sent back to Earth.

Afterward, Genosha is quickly destroyed by the wild Sentinel, directed by Cassandra Nova. The whereabouts of Sugar Man are unknown until he reappears in Genosha, killing a band of Magistrates who are exploring the island with the Dark Beast. Callisto and Karima Shapandar confront Sugar Man and apparently kill him with a pipe through the head.

He recovers from Calisto's attack in the X-Men: Endangered Species storyline and is one of the villains contacted by Beast when he is trying to reverse the effects of M-Day. Sugar Man declines, saying that Beast cannot afford him.

After the "Dark Reign" storyline, Sugar Man leaves his hideout to find the device known as the "Omega Machine". He finds the device in an abandoned H.A.M.M.E.R. facility with, to his delight, Nate Grey hooked up to it. He remakes the device to open portals to other realities and begins creating technologically derived mutates as part of his experiments while he tries to reach Earth-295, the Age of Apocalypse. Realizing that the only way Sugar Man will leave him alone is to give him what he wanted, Nate uses all of his strength and willpower to open a portal to 295; before Sugar Man can escape into it, he is forced to return to 616 by Moonstar, where he is taken into custody by Captain Steve Rogers.

Sugar Man is released from prison by Dark Beast. They rebuild the dimensional portal technology and return to the Age of Apocalypse, where the two use the energies of the life seed to resurrect a number of fallen mutants to provide Weapon Omega an army.

The Human Resistance later captures Sugar Man and gives him to Penance in exchange for her co-operation. Penance plans to reform Sugar Man and utilize his science in her reformation of society.

Sugar Man was believed to have stayed on the Age of Apocalypse when the reality was closed from the Multiverse during the X-Termination event, but in the lead-up to the incursion between the Earth-616 Earth and Earth-1610 as seen in the Secret Wars storyline, he had managed to return to Earth-616 before its closure and has been in hiding since then. Believing that the villain has the means to boost his magnetic abilities, Magneto seeks him out. Sugar Man is able to unveil a set of mobile power amplifiers with the intention of selling them to Magneto. Magneto, however, takes the technology violently and impales Sugar Man with numerous metal pipes, leaving him barely alive. While investigating the mysterious appearance of 600 new mutant signatures, Colossus takes a group of younger mutants to investigate. During the investigation, they discover that Sugar Man has created the new mutants and plans on traveling to the future with them where he will raise and control them but are able to thwart his plans.

Sugar Man was also revealed to be associated with Chance and his airborne casino for criminals, the Palace.

Bishop later receives a warning about an unspecified, imminent event that would have catastrophic consequences on the X-Men's timeline which lead him to Sugar Man's lab where the X-Man had a quick confrontation with the frightened villain before getting knocked unconscious. By the time Bishop woke up, Sugar Man was dead, with his body split in two.

First appearance	The Uncanny X-Men #392 (April 2001)
Created by	Scott Lobdell Salvador Larroca

Alter ego	Leyu Yoshida
Species	Human Mutant
Team affiliations	Genoshan Assault X-Men X-Corps Big Hero 6
Abilities	Flight, Plasma blasts Ability to view infrared Radiation immunity

Sunpyre (Leyu Yoshida (吉田 玲優, Yoshida Reyu)) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is commonly associated with the X-Men and is the sister of Sunfire.

Leyu Yoshida and her brother Shiro were born to a mother who suffered radiation poisoning due to exposure to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. As a result, she and her brother were born mutants, possessing identical powers. Her brother would go on to be the well-known Japanese superhero Sunfire. Leyu first appeared during the Eve of Destruction storyline, when she joined the X-Men for a single mission, to help fight Magneto. Jean Grey had summoned her brother, but instead got Sunpyre, who she says Shiro had never mentioned before, as Shiro had refused because he was unavailable at the time. Despite Jean not knowing Sunpyre, she accepts her offered assistance as the situation is so extreme. Jean's makeshift team of X-Men includes long-term allies Northstar and Dazzler, and the civilians Omerta and Wraith. Dazzler had problems of her own and, with a Jean-assisted telepathic conference, Sunpyre learns of the childlike Age of Apocalypse villains. Thus, Sunprye is one of the few in the current continuity to know that the Age of Apocalypse actually happened. Sunpyre fights valiantly against Magneto but almost loses her life when the master of magnetism constructs a metallic cocoon around her. After the mission is completed successfully, Sunpyre chooses to return to her home instead of staying in the United States with the "arrogant" X-Men.

Banshee later asks her to join his X-Corps (again replacing Sunfire, who did not want to join). This time she is removed from the front lines and instead spends most of her time in the laboratory studying the mutant Abyss. No explanation is provided for the 15-year-old's sudden expertise in mutant genetics. When Mystique, who had infiltrated the group and brought together the other former villains, begins her plan for taking over the X-Corps, Sunpyre is one of the casualties. Mystique stabs her to death. When Banshee finds her corpse, he is also stabbed but survives his wounds. Mystique had wanted to release Abyss but gets more than she bargained for when the mutant is unable to turn off his powers and sucks the shapeshifter into the dimensional void in his chest cavity.

Sunpyre is later apparently resurrected as a female East Asian mutant who looks exactly like her (complete with her signature flame aura). She has most recently been seen with other former X-Men and X-Men-related characters in Cyclops's Million Mutant March in Washington D.C.

Super Sabre

Super Sabre (Martin Fletcher) is a fictional character, a mutant appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. His first appearance was in Uncanny X-Men #215.

Martin Fletcher was born in Massachusetts. During World War II, as Super Sabre he fought against the Axis powers which dominated Europe. He fought alongside three other heroes during this time: Stonewall, Crimson Commando, and Yankee Clipper(*needs reference). Following the war, Super Sabre along with the Commando and Stonewall continued to fight crime. They even hoped to join the Human Torch in fighting communists, but government officials were concerned that the over enthusiastic heroes would cause a real war. The government requested that the trio retire, which they reluctantly did. Fletcher, Crimson Commando, and Stonewall returned to America. When they arrived home, they were disturbed by the criminal acts of people who thought they were "above the law". Finally deciding to do something, they came out of retirement and would kidnap criminals and hunt them for sport as vigilantes. Years later, while operating out of Adirondack State Park in New York state, they accidentally captured Storm and realized that she was not a criminal. Faced with this dilemma, they decided to hunt down Storm to keep their whereabouts a secret. Storm was also captured with another prisoner, drug dealer Priscilla Morrison, their actual target. Chasing down Morrison and Storm, Super Sabre was almost decapitated by a trap Storm had set, which buried him in an avalanche. Later, Morrison betrayed Storm, but before she could kill Storm, she was killed by the Crimson Commando. Storm and the Crimson Commando then fought in combat, which she won. After she won, she demanded that Commando and Stonewall turn themselves in. Distraught because they thought Super Sabre was dead, they complied and turned themselves in.

Months later Valerie Cooper arranged for the release of the Crimson Commando and Stonewall if they joined Freedom Force. They reluctantly agreed. Super Sabre publicly reappeared, alive, and also offered to join the Freedom Force. The trio was pardoned for their past crimes and became special operatives for the federal government of the United States. Alongside Freedom Force, Super Sabre battled the X-Men in Dallas at first, but then battled cavemen transported to Dallas by time-waves created by the cosmic entity known as the Adversary. They witnessed the televised deaths of the X-Men, and Forge's return to Dallas. Freedom Force's attempts to enforce the government policy, the Mutant Registration Act, later led to a battle with the New Mutants in Dallas, and with Cyclops and Marvel Girl of X-Factor in which Marvel Girl defeated Super Sabre. They later attempted to apprehend Rusty Collins but were thwarted by Skids. Following a mission to Muir Island which resulted in Stonewall's death at the hands of the Reavers. Later during a Freedom Force mission to capture Cable, who had escaped from federal custody, Super Sabre was almost decapitated again.

During an unknown period of time Super Sabre was seen alongside other speedsters such as Quicksilver, Whizzer, Speed Demon, Black Racer, Makkari, and the female Captain Marvel. The Runner pitted them against each other to find out who is the fastest being on Earth. The Crimson Commando then led a Freedom Force mission to Kuwait City to rescue or kill physicist Reinhold Kurtzmann, which led to a fight with the Middle Eastern mercenary group, Desert Sword. Super Sabre was ultimately decapitated by the "cutting wind" of Aminedi, and the mission ended with Commando crippled. Following this disaster, Freedom Force was disbanded.

Years later, Wolverine visited the afterlife and was attacked by several of his dead foes, among them Stonewall, Pyro, and Super Sabre. Wolverine began to fight the dead villains until Colossus appeared to help Wolverine defeat them. A young recruit of Mystique's later incarnation of the Brotherhood of Mutants took the code name Sabre, in honor of the late Super Sabre. This Sabre has somewhat similar mutant abilities as the original. Super Sabre is resurrected by means of the Transmode Virus to serve as part of Selene's army of deceased mutants. Under the control of Selene and Eli Bard, he takes part in the assault on the mutant nation of Utopia.

Superia

Superia is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Little is known of the past of the woman known as Superia, but she was first seen where she and a small army of female supervillains plotted to sterilize all other women in the world, making their reproductive capabilities valuable beyond measure. She was initially inspired to use her scientific knowledge to conquer the world when she discovered, via use of a "time probe", that a descendant of hers, Thundra, would rule the world-spanning matriarchy of the "Femizons". Her plan was thwarted by Captain America and his allies (Paladin, Diamondback, Asp and Black Mamba).

She later appeared alongside a much smaller group of Femizons, consisting of Blackbird, Iron Maiden, Nightshade and Snapdragon. This group fought against the criminal scientists of AIM, and were defeated, thanks in part to former Femizon M.O.D.A.M. Superia was saved from certain death by Captain America.

Superia again appeared as "Dr. Deidre Wentworth", and gave a young woman named Cathy Webster superhuman physical traits and subliminal performance-boosting messages. These messages also bound Webster (now called Free Spirit) to Superia's control, though Webster was quickly freed. After a failed negotiation with the Baroness Zemo, she convinced Diamondback to join her as penance for having killed her former lieutenant Snapdragon.

Superia and Diamondback resurfaced soon after, when Superia was convinced to give Captain America a treatment and cure to reverse a paralytic effect resulting from the serum that had given him his powers. The three of them, alongside other allies of Captain America, attacked AIM to steal its new Cosmic Cube, but were forced to retreat. It was at that time the cure was stolen by the Red Skull, whose mind was at the time living in a body cloned from Captain America, who used the cure on himself, and shot and apparently killed Superia.

Having acquired the power of the Cube – although unable to control it directly – Superia sent her knowledge back in time to her younger self, where she was able to use her knowledge to infiltrate A.I.M., create a new heroic identity for herself and some chosen allies, and subsequently infiltrate the Avengers by removing Captain America from history after his 'death' in the Second World War, essentially supplanting his post-war role. With her new position, she allowed the Avengers to disband and be replaced by her 'Americommandos', who arrested the X-Men and other mutants, captured 'illegal' superhumans like Luke Cage and Spider-Man, and arranged for the Fantastic Four to be lost in the Negative Zone, forcing Henry Pym, the Invisible Woman, and the Wasp into retirement, and 'killing' Tony Stark while he was undergoing heart surgery while keeping his brain alive to use his intellect. Tath Ki, the Contemplator, learned of her actions, and was able to recruit a 'resistance movement' of time-displaced heirs to Captain America's legacy, including Steve Rogers early in his career, the U.S. Agent shortly after his own time as Captain America, American Dream, Commander A from the twenty-fifth century, and the present-day Bucky to oppose her. Having learned of Superia's plans, Steve Rogers merged with one of his later selves when the team was sucked into the Cosmic Cube and arrived at the reality nexus where the removed Captain Americas had been sent, the merger creating a chronal ripple that undid her actions.

Superia reappeared years later as the leader of H.A.M.M.E.R. She took the leadership role after Norman Osborn, former leader of H.A.M.M.E.R., was taken into custody. The New Avengers captured her after getting a tip from Victoria Hand. When Osborn escaped from the Raft, he broke Superia out also. She immediately joined Norman Osborn's second incarnation of the Dark Avengers as the new Ms. Marvel. Superia and the other members of the Dark Avengers were defeated by both Avengers teams when it turned out that her teammate Skaar was the Avengers' double-agent.

Superia later appears on the High Council of A.I.M. (consisting of Andrew Forson, Graviton, Jude the Entropic Man, Mentallo, Yelena Belova, and the double agent Taskmaster) as the Minister of Education in Bagalia, a country run and populated by supervillains. She is badly injured after an incident on A.I.M. Island regarding an escaped creature. She then made plans to retrieve the creature for the Scientist Supreme.

In-story information
Full name	Garthan Saal
Species	Xandarian
Place of origin	Xandar
Team affiliations	Nova Corps
Abilities	Gravametric manipulation

Supernova, also known as Nova Omega and Garthan Saal, first appeared eas an antagonist in The Avengers #301 in 1988.

Garthan Saal, a member of the Xandarian Nova Corps, was one of the few Xandarians who survived the destruction of Xandar at the hands of Nebula the space pirate. Garthan Saal contained the power of the entire Nova Corps within his body which increased him to the size of a giant and drove him mad. Supernova's desire for revenge against Nebula led him on a quest to track her down and exact his revenge. He had heard that Nebula had recently been a member of the Avengers (in actuality this was a temporal counterpart to Kang's long lost love Ravonna who assumed the guise of Nebula). Supernova first attacked the Avenger Star Fox (another alleged relative of Nebula's) in space which led to a confrontation between Supernova and the combined forces of the Avengers, Fantastic Four and fellow surviving Xandarian Firelord (a former herald of Galactus). Supernova was only defeated by tricking him into the timestream to find the woman he believed was Nebula as she had been lost in the timestream during a previous encounter with the Avengers.

Years later, Garthan Saal returned from the time stream even more crazed. He had come to realize that there was a small sliver of the Xandarian Nova Corps power that was still housed within the earthling Richard Rider a.k.a. Nova, a former member of the Xandarian Nova Corps and at that time a member of the New Warriors. Supernova came to earth and drained Nova of all his powers effectively killing him (ruining his date with Laura Dunham). Richard was resurrected thanks to another surviving Xandarian (and former herald of Galactus) named Air-Walker. Air-Walker and Firelord joined Nova and the New Warriors into a battle in space with Supernova. During the battle Supernova tried to drain a powerless Richard Rider again but this led to Richard himself having full control of the Nova Force. Nova was convinced by his friends to relinquish the power and use it to reboot the Xandarian Worldmind, a repository of Xandarian knowledge, culture and power. Having done this the Worldmind resurrected the Xandarian race and Nova Corps was reborn. Nova was given more power but eventually was depowered again at which point Garthaan Saal became the Nova assigned for Earth and took the name Nova Omega. His appointment caused great friction between him and the depowered Richard Rider. Garthan began tracking Volx the queen (and mother) of the Dire Wraiths. Volx murdered Garthan, who returned the Nova force to Richard Rider.

Malik Tarcel, a temporary Nova Prime during the second Kree-Shi'ar War, was captured by Shi'ar forces and tortured. After the torture was over, a man claiming to be Garthan Saal arrived to rescue him.

Estrella Lopez

In flashbacks revolving around the Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus' mind in Spider-Man's body), he was looking for an assistant in a project. He gained one in an Empire State University student named Estrella Lopez. At the abandoned Atomic Research Center, Estrella and Otto Octavius worked on a machinery and obtained a miniature star from an A.I.M. facility. Once that was done and the miniature star was placed in a dodecahedron, Estrella was infuriated that Otto took the credit. When she took out the miniature star, it caused a blackout as its energies transformed her. Superior Spider-Man found her transformed into an energy state and attacks him over the credit-taking he did while taking on the name of Supernova. Superior Spider-Man managed to trap her in the dodecahedron. In the present, Doctor Octopus was working on a new device using power from the dodecahedron until Supernova broke out of it. As Supernova did not recognize him, she flew off in search of Spider-Man.

Суэй ( Сюзанна Чан ) — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, изданных Marvel Comics. Впервые она появилась в «Люди Икс: Смертельное Бытие №3» как одна из «Пропавших Людей Икс». Ее создали писатель Эд Брубейкер и художник Пит Вудс .

Родом из Гонконга , Дэвид и Эмили Чан стали натурализованными гражданами Соединенных Штатов, прожив двадцать лет в Калифорнии. У них была дочь по имени Сюзанна, которая в 17 лет хотела поступить в колледж Барнард на восточном побережье Соединенных Штатов и планировала поездку в Нью-Йорк, чтобы доказать родителям, что после переезда она будет в безопасности одна. . Во время поездки Дэвид и Эмили были застрелены в перестрелке между бандами в китайском квартале . Хотя Сюзанна стояла в нескольких футах от своих родителей, она осталась невредимой, что озадачило полицейских.

После стрельбы Сюзанна вошла в шоковое состояние. Она могла только остановиться на том факте, что, когда началась стрельба, она каким-то образом остановила пули в воздухе и смогла уйти с пути пуль. На самом деле она остановила время вокруг пуль, фактически заморозив их на месте. К сожалению, она не смогла сделать то же самое для своих родителей и могла только смотреть, как в них вонзаются пули.

Полицейские поместили травмированную девушку в больницу на сорок восемь часов наблюдения, в течение которого она преимущественно спала и плакала. Когда ее освободили, ей сказали, что полиция занимается расследованием, но у них нет никаких зацепок. Бродя по улицам, она вернулась на место, где были убиты ее родители. Внезапно ее способности мутанта снова активировались, и она смогла увидеть прошлые события в этом районе, а именно фантомы себя и своих родителей. Став свидетельницей стрельбы во второй раз, Сюзанна следовала за автомобилем-призраком, перевозившим убийц ее родителей, по всему городу. Затем она поняла, что каким-то образом контролирует течение времени и заставляет его повторяться для нее.

Сюзанна последовала за убийцами к входной двери и увидела, как они празднуют. Она вызвала полицию, и когда они приехали, убийцы открыли огонь. Впервые сознательно применив свою силу, она вовремя заморозила пули и убийц. Дав показания полиции, детектив связалась с доктором Мойрой МакТаггерт , которая затем предложила Сюзанне шанс потренироваться в использовании своих способностей мутанта. Она взяла кодовое имя Суэй и пошла с МакТаггертом. Она была в первой команде вместе с Кидом Вулканом , Дарвином и Петрой , которая попыталась спасти Людей Икс из Кракоа , но была разрезана пополам силами острова. Из последних сил она и смертельно раненая Петра объединили свои силы, чтобы спасти оставшихся товарищей по команде от верной смерти.

Когда Люди Икс сделали Кракоа раем для мутантов, Суэй был среди возрожденных мутантов, живущих там. Она, Петра и Вулкан жили в Летнем Доме.

Во время сюжетной линии « Империи » Суэй и Петра выпивают с Вулканом в Летнем домике на Луне. После того, как Вулкан победил нападавших Котати , Суэй и Петра догнали его.

Суэй продемонстрировала способность замедлять и, возможно, останавливать или даже ускорять время вокруг своего тела, а также форму ретрокогнитивной проекции, которая позволяла ей воспроизводить недавнее прошлое в виде коротких вспышек призрачных образов. Вполне возможно, что ее силы вращаются либо вокруг манипуляции гравитацией как средства искривления пространства-времени, либо над контролем хронитонов , как и Темпо , еще одного мутанта, манипулирующего временем. Тщательно сосредоточившись, Сюзанна смогла полностью замедлить и остановить объекты, что позволило ей заморозить снаряды в воздухе, обездвижить врагов и выполнить различные другие эффекты. Судя по всему, обучение Сюзанны отточило ее способности до такой степени, что она могла нацеливаться на определенные объекты в своем диапазоне или все в определенном радиусе.

В конечном итоге она побеждает его, становясь новым правителем Лимбо и хозяином С'има, прежде чем вернуться к Людям Икс. С'им бросает вызов вновь обретенному статусу Иллианы как правительницы Лимбо. Иллиана побеждает Сима, оставляя Сима соглашаться служить Ульяне всякий раз, когда она посещает Лимбо. С'им вступает в союз с внеземным магом , позволяя заразиться техноорганическим вирусом . Хотя после этого Ульяна несколько раз пытается забрать у него Лимбо, она не может победить его, и власть С'има над Лимбо только усиливается, поскольку он распространяет техноорганический вирус среди других демонов.

С'им также проявлял интерес к Мэделин Прайор и даже играл с ее неуверенностью в себе и с огромной силой искушал ее. Позже выяснилось, что С'им был партнером демона Н'астира в манипулировании Уллианой, чтобы она открыла портал на Землю, чтобы они могли развязать демоническое вторжение . Как только вторжение началось, С'им предал Н'астира, и они сражались друг с другом за власть над Лимбо и Землей. Вскоре после этого Иллиана жертвует собой, чтобы изгнать захватчиков обратно в Лимбо, включая С'има. и Н'астир убит.

Теперь бесспорный правитель Лимбо, Сим замышляет новое вторжение на Землю. Он планирует использовать Связующее звено всех реальностей для вторжения на Землю, но его останавливает его бывший хозяин Беласко, который манипулирует Кейблом , заставляя его противостоять Симу. Беласко подтверждает свой контроль над Симом и Лимбо. Позже эти двое терпят поражение от Ночного Змея, когда его девушка Аманда Сефтон берет на себя управление Лимбо. С'им заключает союз с Архиврагом, могущественным магическим существом, и маскируется под герцога Блейса, становясь одним из самых доверенных советников Сефтона. В роли Блейса С'им обманом заставляет Сефтон объединиться со многими другими повелителями демонов и объединить их различные царства и измерения в единый бастион против Архиврага. Затем С'им раскрывает свою истинную личность и показывает, что единое, объединенное царство является более легкой мишенью для Архиврага, чем бесчисленные измерения, с которыми он сражался раньше. Тем не менее, Сефтон и ее армии удается убить заклятого врага и отменить слияние миров.

В следующий раз Сима можно увидеть в сюжетной линии Новых Людей Икс «В поисках Мэджик». Иллиана возвращается, чтобы править Лимбо, а С'им оказывается одним из ее слуг. Похоже, что он свободен от техноорганического вируса, без каких-либо объяснений.

Когда Witchfire узнает, что Мэджик покинула Лимбо во время сюжетной линии X-Infernus , она берет на себя управление. Она наносит удар Симу в грудь, серьезно ранив его. Мэджик телепортируется и находит его прикованным к трону. Она спрашивает, что случилось, и он сообщает ей, что дочь Беласко, Witchfire, взяла на себя управление в ее отсутствие.

Во время сюжетной линии «Второго пришествия » выздоровевший С'им сообщает Н'астиру, что небольшой отряд Людей Икс прибыл в Лимбо, чтобы спасти Мэджик, тем временем показывая, что Н'астир был вдохновителем похищения Мэджик. в первую очередь.

Затем он появляется в «Lours of Magik», где его можно увидеть с неизвестным человеком, выполняющим ритуал, аналогичный тому, который выполнила Мэджик, чтобы получить свой Меч Души, что принесло ему булаву. Он вторгается в замок Бельско с армией демонов, в то время как Мэджик готовился передать контроль над Мэдлин Прайор и обезоруживает ее, используя свое новое оружие, заставляя их бежать. После нескольких месяцев правления в замке Мэджик и ее союзники возвращаются, чтобы вернуть себе контроль. Оказывается, его невидимый благодетель - это еще одна версия Мэджик, созданная Лимбо, потому что она пренебрегала своими обязанностями там. Иллиана победила Сима и ее двойника с помощью Мэдлин, которую она обучила тайной магии, что позволило Мэделин наконец стать Королевой Лимбо.

Во время сюжетной линии « Темной паутины » Беласко упомянул, что Сим будет среди персонажей, которые будут искать неуместный Меч Души Беласко в Кричащей Башне. После того, как Черная Кошка использует свою крюку, чтобы вытащить себя и Мэри Джейн Уотсон из бездонной ямы, в которую их преследовали проклятые жители-людоеды, они находят Сима наверху.

Маргали Сардос

Маргали Сардос , также известная как Маргали Извилистого Пути , Красная Королева или Фата Моргана , — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах , изданных Marvel Comics. Впервые она появилась в The Uncanny X-Men Annual # 4 (август 1980 г.) и была создана писателем Крисом Клермонтом и художником Джоном Ромитой-младшим на основе эскизов Джона Бирна . Она приемная мать Ночного Змея и биологическая мать Аманды Сефтон (ранее известной как Daytripper и вторая Мэджик ).

Прошлое Маргали Шардос остается такой же загадкой, как и она сама. Предположительно, она родилась в Париже, Франция, как девочка Мануш , и ее мать преподавала магию, но ей еще предстоит раскрыть свое истинное происхождение. Особая магическая дисциплина Маргали называется «Извилистый путь».

Будучи женатым, Сзардос имеет двоих детей: Стефана и Джимейн (она же Аманда). Предположительно, у нее был роман с демоническим мутантом Азазелем , который в то время также соблазнил Мистик , которая тогда выдавала себя за жену барона Кристиана Вагнера. Бесплодный барон заподозрил свою жену в неверности, и когда боль при родах заставила Мистик вернуться в свою естественную форму и родить дьявольски выглядящего ребенка, местные жители восстали против матери и сына. Мистик сбежала, сбросив ребенка в водопад (позже эта деталь была повторена). ), где его позже нашел и усыновил Маргали. Знала ли она о происхождении ребенка или нет, она воспитала мальчика как своего собственного.

Работая на Дер Ярмаркт гадалкой, чтобы замести следы, Маргали обнаружила, что Демон Беласко сеет семена разрушения на Земле. Она обманом заставила свою дочь остаться с ней на Ярмаркте, убив Сабу, Джимейна и наставника Курта по трапеции. На следующий день после смерти Сабу Курт покинул Дер Ярмаркт, чтобы начать новую жизнь с Людьми Икс. Джимейн последовала за ним в Америку и сменила имя на Аманда Сефтон, устроившись на работу стюардессой. С тех пор у них с Куртом были периодические отношения.

Спустя годы Маргали узнала, что Курт убил Стефана. Слишком глубоко опечаленный, чтобы задаться вопросом, почему, Маргали изгнал душу Ночного Змея в измерение, напоминающее «Ад Данте». С помощью Джимейна и Доктора Стрэнджа Курт был реабилитирован.

Во время слабости Маргали на Извилистой дороге она была захвачена демоном Д'Спайром . После того, как Джимейн и Ночной Змей спасли ее, Маргали начала поиски магического оружия под названием Меч Души. Маргали снова обманула свою дочь, предупредив ее о колдуне по имени Грейвмосс, который пытался убить всех, кто находился над ним на Извилистой дороге. Аманда отправилась на остров Мьюир и обнаружила, что Грейвмосс овладел Куртом. После победы над Грейвмоссом Аманда дала своей матери Меч души, и Маргали использовала его, чтобы убить всех остальных колдунов, стоявших над ней. Затем Аманда присоединилась к Экскалибуру под кодовым именем Daytripper.

Надеясь освободить демона под Лондоном, Маргали присоединилась к британскому отделению Клуба Адского Пламени в качестве Красной Королевы и похитила гибрида-мутанта Дуглока. Ее усилия были сорваны Экскалибуром, и Маргали исчезла только для того, чтобы быть захваченной Беласко. С помощью последней капли магии она поменялась душами со своей дочерью. Душа Маргали, теперь в теле Аманды, унесла Ночного Змея в Лимбо , где они смогли спасти ее тело и победить Беласко. После битвы Ночной Змей вернулся к Людям Икс, а Маргали оставил Аманду править Лимбо. Затем Аманда взяла себе имя Мэджик.

Недавно Маргали снова появилась и обнаружила, что Кошмар пытает ее дочь. Кошмар находился под контролем демона по имени Улей, который искал Меч Души. Ночной Змей смог победить Улей с помощью Маргали, Джимейна и Кошмара. Во время битвы Маргали показал, что Ночной Змей владеет Мечом Души. Ночной Змей в настоящее время держит Меч Души внутри своего тела.

Из-за неразборчивого использования магии Маргали их пути с Амандой расстались в напряженных отношениях. После воскрешения Ночного Змея и воссоединившись с Амандой, Маргали начал жаждать тайн загробной жизни. С этой целью она спланировала атаку квазиробота-злодея, созданного ею же собственными руками, по имени Тримега, вынудив Ночного Змея предоставить ей убежище в Школе высшего образования Джин Грей. Оказавшись там, она напала на Шторма и Чудовище , которые участвовали в восстановлении Ночного Змея, превратив их тела в картины их воспоминаний. Украдя воспоминания об их опыте загробной жизни, она открыла портал в Запредельное. Намереваясь закрыть их с другой стороны, Ночной Змей и Аманда попытались пройти через ворота, но добровольное изгнание Ночного Змея с Небес не позволило ему войти, оставив Аманду одну в Пустоте.

Позже Маргали вернулась в качестве противника, нанятого Орчис , который заставил ее произнести заклинание, превращающее мутантов в монстров. Это заклинание также подействовало на Курта, позволив Орчису использовать его, чтобы убить нескольких чиновников-антимутантов, чтобы подставить мутантов. Именно в это время Маргали извлек проявление сущности Курта – его врожденной надежды – в Меч Надежды. Когда Маргали попыталась помешать Легиону спасти Курта, ее остановила Справедливая Мать , которая заключила договор с Маргали в прошлом и теперь призвала долг, понесенный ею, заключив сущность Маргали в энергетической сфере.

Силы и способности

Маргали - опытная волшебница, равная почти любому волшебнику на Земле, занимающая высшую позицию «Извилистого пути». Извилистый путь наделяет мистическую силу, но эта сила непредсказуемо прибывает и уходит, влияя на силу магии Маргали. Маргали может произносить заклинания и трансформироваться. Будучи Красной Королевой, она проявляла свою магию в виде пылающего меча, могла превращать ногти в длинные когти и стрелять струями красной тайной энергии. При первой встрече с Доктором Стрэнджем она отозвала у него Глаз Агамотто против его воли, подвиг, который заставил его подумать, что ее силы могут соперничать с его собственными или затмить его.
