Savage Steel — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Разочарованные системой правосудия и тем, что они считали ее снисходительной позицией по отношению к преступности, несколько офицеров полиции Нью-Йорка объединились, чтобы сформировать организацию, которая будет убивать преступников, а не просто сажать их в тюрьму. Savage Steel — это силовая броня, созданная Stane International для них на основе технологий, украденных у Stark Enterprises , и используемая несколькими членами Кабала, включая Пола Трента и бывших членов Гарри Леннокса, Джонни Леоне и Джимми Зафара.

[ нужен том и выпуск ]
Scalphunter — один из все еще обладающих силой мутантов, живущих в палатках на лужайке Института Ксавьера после того, как почти все мутанты были лишены сил во время сюжетной линии « Децимация ». Когда приходит бессмертный мутант Апокалипсис , Scalphunter уходит и служит ему. Когда Хавок предупреждает Scalphunter и его товарищей Апокалипсиса, рекрутов Fever Pitch и Skids , что они влипли в неприятности, Scalphunter отвечает, что Apocalypse объяснил, что в данном случае он на стороне мутантов, поскольку они находятся под угрозой вымирания. [ нужен том и выпуск ] В сюжетной линии « X-Men: Messiah Complex » после поражения Апокалипсиса Scalphunter возвращается к своему хозяину и воссоединяется с Мародерами.

Он боится, что Люди Икс убьют его, и полностью скрывается. Проповедник начинает есть в закусочной и постоянно донимает Скальфантера непрекращающейся болтовней. Однажды ночью Ночной Змей нападает на Скальфантера в его трейлере, показывая, что он был проповедником, замаскированным. Скальфантер пытается убить его, но легко побеждается. Ночной Змей говорит ему, что он искал его, чтобы убить, но передумал, когда понял, что у Скальфантера нет души — он был просто копией копии. Затем он прощает Скальфантеру все его грехи, прошлые и будущие, а затем уходит. На следующий день Скальфантер снова появляется в закусочной, готовя еду, теперь с золотым крестом. [34] Он также пытался наладить отношения с Людьми Икс, сообщив им о взломе одной из старых лабораторий Синистера. [ нужен том и выпуск ]
Во время сюжетной линии «Люди Икс: Утопия» Скальфантера захватывает группа немутантных сверхлюдей и заставляет его лететь на грузе из пяти существ, пожирающих мутантов, к Людям Икс на Утопии.

Scimitar — наёмник из Халвана и враг Железного Кулака . О его прошлом мало что известно, за исключением того, что его имя использовали многие другие люди в Халване.
В своем первом появлении Scimitar убивает нескольких мирных жителей, чтобы выманить Iron Fist из укрытия. План срабатывает, и Iron Fist раскрывает себя, и, несмотря на скорость Scimitar и его боевые навыки, Iron Fist все еще может победить его. [ нужен том и выпуск ] У него есть еще несколько стычек с Iron Fist и его партнером Luke Cage , но всегда заканчивается поражением. [ нужен том и выпуск ] Scimitar исчезает со страниц комиксов на долгое время, пока не возвращается в ограниченной серии Iron Fist 1990-х годов . [ нужен том и выпуск ]
Scimitar позже присоединяется к Weaponeers, террористической группе, которая использует его в качестве «суперагента» из-за его высококвалифицированных навыков владения мечом. Scimitar появляется с Weaponeers в Занзибаре и пытается убить их президента, который является отставным супергероем. Благодаря члену X-Men Архангелу и его союзникам из Genosha , Scimitar и Weaponeers побеждены. [55]
Затем, незадолго до начала « Дома М», Скимитар и Оружейники были побеждены Людьми Икс . [56]
Скимитар появляется в эпизоде мультсериала « Невероятный Халк » «Затерянная деревня» [57] , озвученный Томом Кейном . [58] Эта версия — киборг , который ранее жил в тибетском городе Анаврин, прежде чем был изгнан своим отцом Тонгом Цзином.
Сцинтилла (первоначально названная Миджет ) — член Имперской гвардии Ши'ар . Созданная Крисом Клермонтом и Дэйвом Кокрумом , персонаж впервые появился в X-Men #107 (октябрь 1977). Сцинтилла обладает способностью уменьшаться до пяти процентов от своего обычного размера и до любого размера между ними. Как и многие оригинальные члены Имперской гвардии, Сцинтилла является аналогом персонажа из DC Comics « Легион супергероев» : в её случае — Уменьшающейся Вайолет . [59]
Миджет был одним из первых из Имперской Гвардии, с которыми столкнулась команда сверхчеловеческих мутантов, известных как Люди Икс, которые стремились спасти принцессу Лиландру от ее безумного брата императора Д'Кена . Следуя приказу своего императора, Гвардия столкнулась с Людьми Икс на безымянной планете Империи Ши'ар и была на грани победы, когда прибыла группа межзвездных флибустьеров, известных как Звездные джеммеры , чтобы переломить ход битвы в пользу Людей Икс. [60]
Некоторое время спустя, когда Смертельная Птица была императрицей, Миджет присоединился к другим членам Имперской Гвардии в битве против Экскалибура и Звездных Джеммеров. Позже, от имени Смертельной Птицы, Миджет помогал другим Имперским Гвардейцам в битве против Людей Икс и Звездных Джеммеров, но был ими побежден. [61]
Midget переименован в Scintilla [62] в начале Operation: Galactic Storm , межгалактической войны между Ши'ар и Кри . Имперская Гвардия является неотъемлемой частью Ши'ар, создающей огромное супероружие — «Нега-бомбу» — с использованием артефактов Кри, включая оригинальные Нега-браслеты Капитана Марвела , которые Гвардия крадет из гробницы мертвого героя. Эта бомба способна опустошить территорию, эквивалентную территории Империи Кри (которая предположительно расположена по всему Большому Магелланову Облаку ). В конечном счете, устройство Нега-бомбы успешно взрывается, опустошая Империю Кри, при этом 98% населения Кри погибает мгновенно. [63] Ши'ар присоединяют остатки Империи Кри, а Птица Смерти становится наместником территорий Кри. [64]
Вулкан , могущественный мутант, намеревающийся завоевать Империю Ши'ар, сражается со Стражем, начиная с The Uncanny X-Men #480 (2007). К сожалению, Вулкан убивает Космо и Смэшера (и, по-видимому, Импульса , Нейтрона и Титана ), прежде чем его побеждает Гладиатор , который выбивает ему левый глаз. Несмотря на желание Сцинтиллы отомстить, Гладиатор берет Вулкана под стражу и заключает его в тюрьму. [65]
У Сцинтиллы было много дальнейших приключений с Имперской Гвардией, в таких сюжетных линиях, как « Император Вулкан », [66] «Тайное вторжение», [67] «Люди Икс: Королек-убийца» , [68] « Война королей » [69] и «Суд над Джин Грей». [70]
Скорпион — суперзлодей .
Элейн Колл завербована Сильвермейном из психиатрической больницы , чтобы стать новым Скорпионом. Вместо этого она решает называть себя Скорпионом и получает роботизированную броню, похожую на скорпиона, которая увеличивает ее силу и скорость на 500%. Скорпия успешно приводит Детлока в Сильвермейн и получает приказ устроить засаду Человеку-пауку и Сорвиголове, которые проникли на их базу. Она изматывает их, но затем Сильвермейн предает ее, стреляя ей в спину. Скорпия следует за Человеком-пауком и Сорвиголовой к месту нахождения Сильвермейна и немедленно нападает на него. Мэйнфрейм, еще один наемник Сильвермейна, берет под контроль кибернетические улучшения Скорпионы и использует ее, чтобы атаковать Человека-паука. Однако вскоре она восстанавливает подвижность и взрывает Сильвермейна. Взрыв, созданный Карателем, сбил Скорпию со здания, в котором они находились, но психически противоречивый Детлок спас ее. Затем она решила сбежать из этого района, чтобы не попасть в тюрьму. [71]
Затем Скорпия присоединяется к новой Зловещей Шестерке (хотя всего их было семь человек). Главной целью команды было помешать Кейну убить еще больше врагов Человека-паука. Когда Кейн замаскировался под Человека-паука и напал на Хобгоблина, Скорпия немедленно присоединилась к остальным в битве. Однако они не привыкли работать вместе, к большому презрению Скорпии. В конце концов Человек-паук вступил в битву и смог победить Скорпию. Она также участвовала в другой битве против Человека-паука с некоторыми из своих бывших союзников и новыми, такими как Бумеранг и Джек О'Лантерн . Она была побеждена, когда Человек-паук бросил в нее Джека О'Лантерна. [ нужен том и выпуск ]
Гораздо позже Скорпия сражается с Человеком-пауком и Черной кошкой и терпит поражение, когда Черная кошка отрывает ей хвост. [72] Позже она рассказывает, что была нанята Альберто Ортегой, главой местного наркосиндиката. [73]

Она была замечена на собрании, организованном Vulture . [76] Позже она была освобождена, когда Крэйвен-Охотник сказал Аркейду снизить силовое поле вокруг Центрального парка. [77]
Скорпия появляется как член женского воплощения Зловещего Синдиката . Она заявляет Франсин Фрай , что слышала о том, как она поджарила оригинального Электро и украла его фишку. Зловещий Синдикат начинает свою миссию, где они атакуют здание FEAST, в котором Бумеранг работает добровольцем. [78] Жук возглавляет Зловещий Синдикат в атаке на Бумеранга. Бумеранг заявил, что именно он придумал название Зловещего Синдиката. После того, как тетя Мэй оказалась в безопасности, Питер Паркер превращается в Человека-паука и помогает Бумерангу сражаться с Синдикатом. Синдикат начинает свою формировательную атаку, пока Человек-паук случайно не активирует газеранг Бумеранга, который вырубает Человека-паука достаточно, чтобы Синдикат смог убежать с Бумерангом. Когда Жук заставляет Электро написать предложение о том, как Синдикат может использовать Бумеранга в качестве примера для преступного мира, Жук уходит, позвонив Уилсону Фиску, что они поймали Бумеранга, поскольку ей дают информацию о том, где может произойти обмен. Позже Скорпия упомянула членам Синдиката, что Рино однажды отказался бороться с ней на руках. [79] Когда Жук возвращается в штаб-квартиру, Скорпия присутствует, когда мэр Уилсон Фиск приводит все силы Нью-Йорка в их штаб-квартиру, требуя, чтобы они сдали ему Бумеранга. Затем Синдикат помогает Человеку-пауку против сил мэра Фиска. После того, как Человек-паук эвакуирует Бумеранга, Синдикат сражается с силами мэра Фиска, не убивая их. Синдикат побежден и арестован полицией. Затем на их транспорт нападает неизвестный нападавший, который освобождает их. [80]
Во время сюжетной линии « Зловещая война » Скорпион был в составе Зловещего Синдиката, когда их наняли Сородичи, чтобы наказать Человека-паука за его грехи. [81]
Скорпион был со Зловещим Синдикатом, когда они пригласили Дженис Линкольн на девичник. [82]
Во время сюжетной линии " Война банд " Скорпия сопровождала Жука, Леди Осьминог и Трапстра, чтобы оказать помощь Белому Кролику и ее приспешнику Кариму, когда группа Черной Марии нападает на склад, в котором они находятся. [83] Скорпия сопровождает Зловещий Синдикат в Шугар Хилл, чтобы сразиться там с бандой Даймондбэка . Они побеждают некоторых людей Даймондбэка и обнаруживают, что остальные были побеждены Роуз и Диггером . [84] [85] [86] [87] [88]
Скорпион — имя , используемое различными персонажами, появляющимися в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Джим Эванс — успешный аптекарь в Даствиле во времена Дикого Запада. Он начал встречаться с Сарой (самой красивой девушкой в городе), пока она не начала пренебрегать им, заявив, что у нее уже есть парень Мэтт Коди. Мэтт Коди был недоволен тем, что Сара пошла с Джимом, и вызвал его на перестрелку. Джим первым вытащил пистолет и успел только ранить Мэтта в левую руку, когда Мэтту удалось выбить пистолет Джима из его руки. Затем Мэтт заставил Джима танцевать со своим пистолетом. Джим был унижен и поклялся отомстить, став Скорпионом и орудуя парализующими пулями. [89]
После шести месяцев в тюрьме Джим Эванс сбегает и берет псевдоним Стинг-Рэй, прежде чем его побеждает Призрачный Гонщик . [90]
Первое воплощение Скорпиона в Ultimate Marvel — один из клонов Питера Паркера . Одетый как скорпион и напавший на торговый центр, он оказался психически неуравновешенным клоном, который был одет в зеленый бронированный костюм. [91] У этого клона также был механический хвост, привитый к позвоночнику, который мог стрелять кислотой. В конце концов клон был пойман Человеком-пауком и доставлен к Фантастической четверке , которая в конечном итоге передала его Щ.И.Т. [92] В конце сюжетной линии саги о клонах Ник Фьюри говорит подчиненным «приступить к работе», выходя из комнаты, в которой держат клона. [93]
См. ниже.
Джефферсон Дэвис берет имя Скорпион в Earth-65 . Он носит электрически заряженный костюм, носит посох в виде скорпиона и обладает ограниченной суперскоростью. Джефферсон работает в организации SILK и сражался с Пауком-Гвен (от имени Мэтта Мердока ), Шелком и Женщиной-Пауком . [94]
Скорн ( Танис Нивес ) — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics. Танис Невис впервые появился в Carnage #1 (декабрь 2010), [102] в то время как Симбиот Скорн впервые появился в Carnage #4 (июнь 2011).
После того, как симбиот Карнажа был разорван пополам Часовым за пределами атмосферы Земли, [103] позже выяснилось, что Карнаж выжил и вернулся на Землю, где его обнаружил Майкл Холл, который привел Визг и ее врача, доктора Танис Невис, чтобы использовать Визг, чтобы сохранить жизнь Карнажу, чтобы использовать свойства организма для создания протезных конечностей и экзокостюмов, которые реагировали бы так же, как симбиот. Невис снабжают одним из этих протезов рук после того, как она попала в атаку Доппельгангера, который пытался спасти Визг. [104] Когда она находится рядом с Карнажем, ее рука становится неуправляемой и заставляет ее убить нескольких ученых, прежде чем Карнаж насильно связывается с ней. [104] После того, как симбиот использует Танис, чтобы проникнуть на объект корпорации Холла, выясняется, что Клетус Кэссиди жив, сохранен Карнажем и восстановлен протезами Холла. [104] Кэссиди снова возвращает Карнажа, пытаясь отомстить за свое пленение, в то время как Человек-паук и Железный человек борются, чтобы остановить Карнажа. Затем выясняется, что Карнаж снова был «беременен», и порождение костюма ненадолго связывается с Танис, но она снимает его с себя, и симбиот связывается с Визгом, прежде чем его отрывают от нее. Испугавшись злобы Визга, рука симбиота затем снова связывается с Танис, создавая нового героя Скорна, который побеждает Визга и заставляет ее использовать свой звуковой визг, чтобы ослабить Карнажа, который сбегает. [104]
В Carnage USA Карнаж вторгся в Довертон, штат Колорадо, и связался с его гражданами и командой Мстителей (которая изначально пыталась остановить Карнажа), к которым правительство отправляет команду Mercury, усиленную симбиотами команду спецназа, связанную с симбиотами Agony , Phage , Riot и Lasher вместе с доктором Танисом Нивесом в роли Скорна, чтобы остановить Карнажа, но они сильно уступают по численности, так как Карнаж контролирует весь город. Усиленные спецназовцы продолжают сражаться, но Карнаж посылает контролируемых Мстителей за ними, и тогда появляется Человек-паук с незатронутыми жителями города. Схватка становится особенно ожесточенной, когда Агент Веном вмешивается со звуковыми зарядами. Скорн использует строительную машину, чтобы доставить их двоих к устройству, которое она построила, и показывает, что ее устройство предназначено для того, чтобы навсегда удалить связи с Карнажа и Венома, но хозяева все еще там. После того, как симбиоты сражаются друг с другом и с командой Мстителей, симбиот Веном возвращается к Флэшу Томпсону , в то время как Скорн удаётся захватить и удержать симбиота Карнажа. [105]
В Carnage Born выясняется, что Скорн был развращен и основал культ, поклоняющийся Кнуллу . Она со своими последователями извлекает остатки симбиота Гренделя из Создателя , вместе с поврежденным телом Кэссиди после события Venomized . После имплантации остатков внутрь Кэссиди начинает бороться за контроль. Она предлагает себя Кэссиди, чтобы он мог поглотить остатки Карнажа, оставшиеся в ее теле, но Кэссиди вместо этого убивает ее, заставляя ее кодекс снова стать Карнажем, [106] хотя Карнаж на самом деле находится в Alchemax . [107]
Скрамбл ( Лайонел Джеффрис ), также известный как Скрамбл-Запутавшийся Человек , — суперзлодей, появляющийся в медиа, опубликованных Marvel Comics. В частности, он был врагом Alpha Flight , но в течение короткого времени он был попеременно их союзником. Скрамбл — брат Мэдисон Джеффрис . Скрамбл впервые появился в Alpha Flight #30 (февраль 1986) и был создан Биллом Мантло и Майком Миньолой .
Лайонел Джеффрис и его старший брат Мэдисон были мутантами: Мэдисон обладал способностью изменять металлические поверхности, а Лайонел мог манипулировать органическими веществами. Лайонел использовал свою силу, чтобы стать успешным хирургом, и позже он и Мэдисон были среди многих тысяч канадцев, завербованных в армию Соединенных Штатов во время войны во Вьетнаме . Мэдисон, который ненавидел быть мутантом, служил первоклассным механиком, в то время как Лайонел жаждал возможности использовать свои силы во благо в качестве медика. Однако неспособность Лайонела воскресить многих своих товарищей по оружию после того, как взрыв расчленил их отряд, заставила его сойти с ума, и Мэдисону пришлось использовать свои собственные силы, чтобы помочь сдержать его. [110]
В годы после войны Мэдисон отправил своего буйного брата в Монреальский госпиталь , где его держали в ограничителях, прежде чем он сам присоединился к канадской команде супергероев Alpha Flight. Вскоре после этого лидер Alpha Flight Хизер Хадсон нашла Лайонела, обнаружив его существование в компьютерной системе Alphanex команды (только после обхода блокировки безопасности файла Мэдисона). Поскольку Мэдисон никогда не сообщал своим товарищам по команде о существовании Лайонела, Хизер предположила, что этот человек был врачом в больнице, и отправилась туда в попытке определить, является ли он мутантом, и если да, то завербовать его в Alpha Flight. Когда она обнаружила, что Лайонел на самом деле был пациентом, она еще больше ужаснулась, увидев то, что, по ее мнению, было ужасным жестоким обращением со стороны медиков, которые его удерживали. Однако, когда Хизер попыталась представиться в качестве друга Мэдисон с помощью рукопожатия, Лайонел вступил с ней в физический контакт и использовал свои силы, чтобы жестоко деформировать ее тело, освободившись в процессе и захватив больницу. Теперь он стал называться Скрэмбл, Человек-Замешательство, и вскоре начал изменять персонал больницы и пациентов в отвратительно деформированных зомби (непреднамеренно воскресив Смертоносного Эрнеста, умершего врага из Отряда Альфа, в процессе). Безумный Скрэмбл считал себя не более чем врачом, заботящимся о своих пациентах. Отряд Альфа вскоре прибыл на место происшествия, чтобы спасти Хизер (проследив ее путь с помощью Альфанекса), и оказался в драке с мутантами. Вскоре братья Джеффрис воссоединились в морге больницы, и там Мэдисон полностью осознала глубину безумия Скрэмбла, в то же время веря, что в нем все еще есть добро. Два брата столкнулись, но в конце концов Мэдисон манипулировал Скрэмблом, чтобы тот использовал свои собственные органические способности на себе, исцелив свой мозг от психоза. «Вылеченный» Скрэмбл отменяет большую часть нанесенного им ущерба, включая трансформацию Хезер, и клянется вернуться к медицине после выписки из больницы. [110]
Скрэмбл в конечном итоге возглавил New Life Clinic, организацию, которая несколько раз оказывала медицинскую помощь Alpha Flight, став сильным союзником команды в этом процессе. Однако постепенно его безумие начало возвращаться, и он начал секретную кампанию по созданию расы генетических сверхлюдей. Он нашел партнера в Боксе (Роджер Бохс), члене Alpha Flight, находящемся под его опекой, который также страдал от тяжелого психоза. Мстительно ревнивый Бокс попросил Скрэмбла использовать свои силы, чтобы восстановить его поврежденные ноги, чтобы завоевать любовь своей девушки и товарища по команде Авроры . В конце концов, выяснилось, что Скрэмбл не использовал избыточную жировую ткань Бохса, чтобы восстановить ноги мужчины, а вместо этого использовал измененную плоть трупа. Несмотря на это странное предательство, безумная пара все еще объединила усилия в стремлении Скрэмбла заполучить его предполагаемую суперрасу. Скрамбл и Бохс затем физически объединились в ужасно деформированное существо, известное как Омега, и атаковали Отряд Альфа и их стажеров Отряд Бета , когда команды раскрыли их планы, сначала мутировав лаборанта Мэдисон и Лайонела Уитмена Кнаппа (вызвав срабатывание скрытых мутантных способностей Кнаппа), а затем одолев остальные команды. Мэдисон деформируется, а затем надевает броню Бокса и использует ее для битвы с Омегой, в течение которого персона Скрамбла стала доминирующей и убила половину Бохса после того, как персона Бохса обрела рассудок и попыталась закончить битву. После того, как Отряд Альфа восстанавливается и побеждает Омегу (во многом благодаря усилиям контролера разума Отряда Бета, Фиолетовой Девочки ), Мэдисон понял, что единственный способ предотвратить будущий крах от своего опасного брата — убить его. Затем он приступил к этому, используя оружие, созданное из его брони Бокса. [111]
Грейди Скрэпс — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics. Персонаж, созданный писателем Дэном Слоттом и художником Умберто Рамосом , впервые появился в The Amazing Spider-Man #648 (январь 2011). Он является комическим коллегой Питера Паркера в Horizon Labs Макса Моделла . Скрэпс участвует в различных сюжетных линиях Человека-паука , таких как « Big Time » и « Spider-Island ». [112] [113] [114] [115]
Грейди Скрапс появляется в мультсериале «Человек-паук» , его озвучивает Скотт Менвилл . [116] [117] Эта версия — подросток и учёный, работающий в Horizon High.
Морской леопард — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Морской Леопард — представитель неуказанной подводной расы с долголетием, телепатией, острыми леопардовыми когтями и леопардовым хвостом, который можно использовать как оружие. Позже он сотрудничал с Черной Муреей при виде Старой Атлантиды, где Морской Леопард победил Аттуму и Андромеду . Нэмор победил Морского Леопарда и оставил Аттуму разбираться с ним. [118]
Позже «Морской леопард» присоединился к « Фатом Файв» . [119]
Sea Urchin — вымышленный суперзлодей, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics . Впервые появляется в New Warriors #14 и был создан Фабианом Нициезой , Марком Бэгли и Сэмом де ла Росой.
Сеньор Муэрте и Сеньор Суэрте — псевдонимы, используемые рядом вымышленных персонажей, появляющихся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Первым персонажем, использовавшим эти имена, был Рамон Гарсия, родившийся в Атильо, Пуэрто-Рико . Рамон был владельцем сети игорных заведений и преступником, который называл себя «Сеньор Суэрте» (что означает «Мистер Удача» на английском языке) в своей роли главы преступных игорных операций в Нью-Йорке. Он использовал имя «Сеньор Муэрте» (что означает «Мистер Смерть» на английском языке), когда убивал своих противников. Рамон послал людей убить Фрэнка Дженкса и Люка Кейджа. [120] Муэрте попытался убить Люка Кейджа и убил владельца казино-конкурента. Он сражался с Кейджем, но был убит электрическим током своим собственным устройством во время битвы и умер. [121] Рамон снова появляется без объяснений спустя годы, будучи вынужденным совершать преступления Леди Катерпиллар, которая похитила его жену Ребекку Клайд. [122] [123]
После смерти Рамона его младшие братья Хайме и Филлип взяли на себя управление его делами и стали совладельцами игорных заведений своего брата. Хайме стал «Сеньором Суэрте», а Филлип стал «Сеньором Муэрте». Хайме был профессиональным вором, а Филлип был профессиональным убийцей.
Филлип, как новый Сеньор Муэрте, выдавал себя за своего покойного брата Рамона. Вместе с Тарантулом он убил правительственного агента Кена Астора и попытался захватить военный конвой, Мэдбомбс. Он сражался с Капитаном Америкой. [124] Филлип носил перчатки, которые могли выпускать яд паука в его жертв.
Джейме, как сеньор Суэрте, предпринял попытку кражи артефактов Тутанхамона из музея и сразился с Кейджем и Железным Кулаком. [125] Игорные операции Джейми и Филлипа были сорваны Кейджем и Железным Кулаком. Братья расставили смертельные ловушки для Кейджа и Железного Кулака, но все равно были побеждены ими. [126]
Сеньор Муэрте появляется в мультсериале «Мстители: Величайшие герои Земли», в эпизоде «Украсть Человека-муравья».
Сувик Сеньяка — первый персонаж из Шри-Ланки, появившийся в комиксах Marvel Comics, за ним следует доктор Амара Перера. Сеньяка впервые появился в комиксе The Uncanny X-Men #300 и был создан Скоттом Лобделлом и Джоном Ромитой-младшим.
Сеньяка обладает способностью высасывать биоэлектрическую сущность других при физическом контакте. Живая энергия, которую он высасывает, увеличивает его естественную силу, выносливость и рефлексы, а также значительно ускоряет его восстановительные способности. Сеньяка также может использовать избыток жизненной силы, которую он высасывает, чтобы создать пару псионических кнутов, состоящих из биоэлектрической энергии. Эти кнуты движутся в соответствии с его ментальной командой и могут значительно увеличить расстояние его способности поглощения. Кнуты также могут проводить его биоэлектрическую энергию, чтобы воспламенять нервные пучки у противника, вызывая сильную боль или паралич, а также прижигать его плоть.
Сеньяка — мутант, завербованный Фабианом Кортесом в качестве члена второй группы Аколитов . [127] Во время своей первой миссии эта новая команда Аколитов напала на школу Our Mother of The Sacred Heart, разыскивая ребёнка-мутанта. [128] Во время нападения Сеньяка вызвал недовольство своего господина Магнето , тяжело ранив медсестру-человека своими энергетическими катушками, и впоследствии был убит Магнето, который раздавил Сеньяку своими собственными катушками. [129]
Однако Сеньяка выжил, выкачав жизненную энергию из агентов международного правоохранительного агентства, известного как Щ.И.Т., которые вернули тело Сеньяки. Желая отомстить Магнето, Сеньяка отправился убить морского капитана Ли Форрестера, бывшего любовника самопровозглашенного мастера магнетизма. Форрестер объединился с солдатом-мутантом из будущего по имени Кейбл , и Сеньяка, по-видимому, был убит еще раз в последовавшей битве. [130]
Сеньяка позже снова появился как член фракции Аколитов во главе с Исходом , который обладает способностью возвращать людей к жизни. Аколиты участвовали в нападении на гору Вундагор в европейской стране Трансия , родине загадочного ученого, известного как Высокий Эволюционер . Эволюционер разработал мощное мутагенное соединение, известное как Изотоп-E, которое Аколиты жаждали заполучить для себя. [131]
После поражения Исхода Сеньяка оказался среди рядов бывших Аколитов, которые помогали восстанию Каррион-Коув против правления Магнето над островным государством Дженоша. После геноцида населения Геношана руками гигантских охотящихся на мутантов роботов-Сентинелов, контролируемых Кассандрой Новой , генетическим близнецом профессора Чарльза Ксавье, Сеньяка считался погибшим. [132]
Прошло некоторое время, прежде чем Сеньяка вернулся. По возвращении, природа которого до сих пор неизвестна, он присоединился к рядам новой команды Исхода Аколитов. После битвы Людей Икс с Гекатомбой Сеньяка появился на опустошенном островном государстве Кейбла Провиденс вместе с новыми Мародерами, Гамбитом и Санфайром , в попытке захватить информационные архивы острова, которые позволили бы получить доступ к будущим технологиям Кейбла. Пока Гамбит и Санфайр сражались с Кейблом, Сеньяка сражался с Дэдпулом и, казалось, одержал верх, прежде чем Дэдпул был телепортирован технологией Кейбла. [133]
Когда Селена отправляет свой Внутренний Круг, чтобы получить мистический нож, необходимый для завершения ее ритуала, Сеньяка смертельно ранит нескольких мутантов с силами, связанными со смертью. Сначала, когда она пытается обмануть его, появившись перед ним как маленькая девочка, он говорит ей снять маскировку, поскольку он убьет за нее, потому что она отличается от других, которым он служил. [134] Они отправляются в место рождения Селены, Рим и Нью-Йорк, где они убивают членов этой ветви Клуба Адского Пламени. После того, как Калибан привел ее к руинам Геноши, Селена заявляет, что именно здесь она станет богиней, и переименовывает ее в Некрошу. [135]
Когда Селена отправляет свой Внутренний Круг, чтобы забрать мистический нож, необходимый для завершения ее ритуала, Сеньяка смертельно ранит Мелда, затем объединяется с Блинком , чтобы атаковать Архангела , используя его кольца, чтобы сдержать его, в то время как Блинк телепортирует его крылья в клочья. Позже на Сеньяку нападает Росомаха, который вонзает свои когти ему в грудь. Сеньяка невозмутим этим, заявляя, что его уже убивали раньше. В финальном бою Сеньяка заключает Росомаху в свои кольца, ударяя его об стены. X-23 освобождает его, когда отрезает Сеньяке руку. Росомаха пользуется ситуацией, обезглавливая Сеньяку. [136]
Sepulchre (также известный как Shadowoman ) — вымышленный супергерой, появляющийся в американских комиксах, изданных Marvel Comics. Впервые она появилась в Quasar #45 (апрель 1993) и была создана Марком Грюнвальдом и Грантом Михом .
После трудного детства Джиллиан Мари Вудс ушла из дома, чтобы поступить в Университет Сан-Франциско . Там она встретила преподавателя оккультизма Энтони Ладгейта Друида, супергероя, известного как Доктор Друид . Они обнаружили, что между ними существует психическая связь. Друид исследовал разум Джиллиан и узнал, что ее душа вселилась в мужчину-алхимика при дворе короля Артура в прошлой жизни, и что алхимик любил принцессу, чья душа перевоплотилась в Доктора Друида. Алхимик и принцесса были убиты братом принцессы из-за их отношений, и алхимик поклялся, что снова найдет принцессу. Джиллиан и Друид, удивленные этими откровениями, стали любовниками. Некоторое время спустя Джиллиан случайно выпустила демона, который убил ее, когда она и Друид исследовали мистические артефакты, которые Друид забрал у колдуна Магнуса. Доктор Друид, используя мистическую статую под названием Невеста Слориота, связал часть души Джиллиан с ее тенью. Когда Джиллиан проснулась со своими новыми силами, Друид сказал ей, что они были результатом ее воздействия демона. [ нужен том и выпуск ]
Джиллиан взяла имя Shadowoman и вместе с другими героями Джимом Скалли (как второй Пылающий Череп) и Н'Канту, Живой Мумией , присоединилась к команде под руководством доктора Друида, названной Shock Troop. Когда Куагмайр , используя свою Darkforce, Neutron и Presence , осквернил Землю-148611 (Новую Вселенную), Shadowoman и Shock Troop помогали Квазару сражаться с Anti Bodies, пока их не уничтожила Имперская Гвардия Ши'ар . Позже Shock Troop был призван Доктором Стрэнджем, чтобы противостоять угрозе в Nexus of All Realities . Когда команда прибыла, угроза уже была нейтрализована Квазаром. [ нужен том и выпуск ]
После того, как Доктор Стрэндж заставил Доктора Друида взять на себя ответственность за организацию Секретных Защитников , Джиллиан, Люк Кейдж и Дэдпул собрались, чтобы помешать Малахи собрать заново Камень Мёбиуса. Они встретились в Чикагском музее искусств и столкнулись с Малахи, когда она попыталась заполучить фрагмент Камня Мёбиуса, прикрепленный к мечу. Чтобы сдержать Секретных Защитников, Малахи оживила произведение искусства, чтобы атаковать их, и ушла с фрагментом. Набросив на них свою теневую форму, Тенечеловек заставил их [ требуется разъяснение ] рассеяться. Затем Друид телепортировал их в свой таунхаус, чтобы найти артефакты, которые могли бы помочь им против Малахи. [137]
Они отправились противостоять Малахи у гробницы, где труп держал последний фрагмент Камня Мебиуса в кольце на пальце. К ним присоединились Коди Флейшер, Кадавр, подросток, убитый Малахи, которого Агамотто воскресил, чтобы тот служил ему Бледным Всадником. Однако Малахи получила последний фрагмент и поймала Тенечеловека и доктора Друида своими заклинаниями. Тенечеловек смогла пройти сквозь ее узы и отвлечь Малахи, пока доктор Друид сбежал. Малахи сразила Тенечеловека, и когда она пережила удар, она поняла, что не должна была этого делать, и что доктор Друид что-то с ней сделал. Малахи был наконец убит Дэдпулом, но затем Стрэндж , слуга доктора Стрэнджа, попытался забрать Камень Мебиуса. Тенечеловек выступил против него, но был снова сражен, но доктор Друид смог уничтожить камень. [138]
Shadowoman, Cadaver, Dr. Druid и RG Mathieson столкнулись с Swarm , когда тот пытался контролировать суперколлайдер Rand-Meachum. Джиллиан была невосприимчива к Swarm из-за своих способностей и помогла освободить Dr. Druid и Cadaver из когтей существа. Она и Cadaver помогли сдержать Swarm достаточно долго, чтобы Dr. Druid убедил Swarm отступить. [139]
Вернувшись после встречи с Роем, Джиллиан попросила доктора Друида объяснить ей, кем она стала. Друид пообещал сделать это, но бросил ее в Невесту Слориота. Внутри статуи Джиллиан столкнулась с темной стороной души доктора Друида и узнала от нее, что доктор Друид сделал с ней. Она вышла из статуи в ярости и напала на доктора Друида, но он убедил ее, что сделал только то, что должен был сделать, и что он готов повести ее и Кадавра на миссию, которая освободит их всех от их проклятий. Она согласилась, но взяла себе новый псевдоним Сепулхр для этой миссии. Затем доктор Друид телепортировал их в Старксборо. [ нужен том и выпуск ]
Сепулькр и остальные встретились с Детлоком, Даггером и Драксом , их товарищами по команде для этой миссии. Доктор Друид привел их к Вратам Погибели, где он должен был противостоять демону Слориоту. Однако, когда доктор Друид ушел, первоначальные Защитники — Серебряный Серфер , Халк и Подводник — появились, чтобы противостоять Секретным Защитникам. Сепулькр вступил в бой с Серебряным Серфером, но он сбежал с места происшествия, когда понял, что находится в эпоху, когда барьер Галактуса не окружал Землю. Однако совесть Серфера грызла его, и он вернулся, чтобы снова сразиться с Сепулькрой, но она заключила его в поле полной тьмы. Именно тогда их битва была прервана, когда появился демон Слориот. [140]
Две команды Защитников сражались со Слориотом, но Джошуа Прайс отвел Сепулкра и Кадавра в сторону, чтобы они столкнулись с настоящей угрозой — доктором Друидом, развращенным своей темной стороной. Доктор Друид утверждал, что все, что он сделал, было ради Джиллиан, а затем напал на своих бывших союзников. Поскольку доктор Друид захватил ее душу, он использовал это преимущество, чтобы заставить ее раствориться. В конечном счете, Джошуа Прайс привел Вишанти и Живой Трибунал , которые прогнали доктора Друида и Слориота. Затем Прайс пошел помогать Сепулкра, но она умоляла его позволить ей умереть. Он ответил: «Лучше жить вечно Тенечеловеком... чем умереть Сепулкре!», и помог воскресить ее. [141]
После этого Сепулькр и Кадавр встретились с Прайсом и решили пойти разными путями, но отметили, что «если мир когда-нибудь понадобится спасти... и все хорошие супергерои будут заняты», они встретятся снова. [141]
Некоторое время спустя Линдси МакКейб, подруга Джессики Дрю , попросила Джиллиан помочь ей найти пропавшую подругу. К ним присоединилась Джулия Карпентер , Женщина-Паук, которая столкнулась с тем, что костюм Женщины-Паука Джессики двигался сам по себе. Джиллиан отправила двух женщин в измерение Пожирателя Пустоты, где Джессика была заключена. Восстановив силы благодаря своему костюму, Джессика сбежала от Пожирателя Пустоты вместе с Линдси и Женщиной-Пауком. Джиллиан закрыла портал в царство Пожирателя Пустоты, прежде чем существо смогло последовать за ними. [142]
Джиллиан можно увидеть говорящей по телефону с представителем Roxxon Oil , соглашающейся поговорить с ними о предложении о работе, которое они сделали. [143] Она сталкивается с Громовержцами по пути на собеседование и использует свои силы, чтобы защитить мирных жителей от Венома, прежде чем объединиться со Стальным Пауком и Американским Орлом, чтобы сразиться с остальной частью команды. Сумев добраться до Roxxon Oil как раз вовремя, она договаривается о новой жизни за пределами американской земли. [144]
Сепульчер вернулась в Америку после краха режима Нормана Озборна и его инициативы «Тандерболты» и в последний раз ее видели участвующей в собеседовании на должность няни у Джессики Джонс и Люка Кейджа, но она все больше расстраивается из-за очевидного неправильного произношения своего имени, неоднократно отчитывая Джонс и Кейджа и снова и снова переписывая свое имя, что приводит к ее окончательному отказу. [145]
Манипуляция энергией Темной силы позволяет Джиллиан летать, создавать поля тьмы, фазировать и сливаться с тенями.
Сет — главное божество, змеебог или «архидемон» стигийского народа в рассказах Роберта Э. Говарда о Конане-варваре в Хайборийскую эпоху . Он, по-видимому, представляет собой смесь имени египетского бога Сета с внешностью/характеристиками как Апепа , так и монстра из греческой мифологии, известного как Лернейская Гидра .
Сет появляется в «Конане-авантюристе» , озвученный Ричардом Ньюманом . Эта версия — гигантская королевская кобра .
Джастон Сейферт — персонаж американских комиксов, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Джастон Сейферт — обычный подросток, которого изводят старшеклассники в средней школе Антиго в Висконсине. Он живет со своим младшим братом Крисом и отцом Питером (который управляет свалкой, к которой примыкает их дом). Их мать Джен ушла много лет назад. Будучи бедным, Джастон должен быть креативным в поиске развлечений и проводит дни, играя на свалке или строя роботов из запасных частей. Позже он обнаруживает, восстанавливает и перепрограммирует останки Стража , которых он нашел. [146] [147] [148] [ 149] [150] [151] [152] [153] [154] [155 ] [ 156] [157] [158]
После Fear Itself Джастон и его Sentinel появляются в качестве студентов в обновленной Академии Мстителей. [159] [160] Sentinel теперь имеет кабину, чтобы переносить Джастона во время боя, и получил продвинутые способности самовосстановления последнего поколения Sentinel. Несмотря на то, что Джастон надеялся стать героем вместе со своим Sentinel, он не смог полностью искоренить протокол «Уничтожить всех мутантов» из своего ИИ. Вместо этого в качестве обходного решения он внедрил длинную цепочку директив, каждая из которых имела более высокий приоритет, чем исходная программа, например, «Защита Джастона и его друзей», «Защита человечества» и « Сохранение себя, если это не противоречит предыдущим директивам ». [161]
Во время сюжетной линии Avengers vs. X-Men Эмма Фрост (обладающая частью Силы Феникса ) прибывает, чтобы уничтожить Стража Джастона, видя в нем угрозу мутантам. Он жертвует собой, чтобы спасти его, прежде чем его восстановят Ртуть и Великан-Человек . [162]
В Avengers Arena Джастон был похищен Аркадой и вынужден сражаться в Murderworld. [163] [164] Он был парализован после того, как его Sentinel потерпел крушение, а позже был убит Апексом, который похитил Sentinel. [165] [166] [167]
Shape — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics. Персонаж был создан Марком Грюнвальдом и в некоторой степени основан на Пластиковом Человеке .
The Shape (настоящее имя Рэли Ланд ) родился в Саймаке, Ловенгард, в Соединенных Штатах на альтернативной Земле Верховного Эскадрона , Земле-712 . Хотя он выглядит взрослым мужчиной, его эмоциональное и интеллектуальное развитие сопоставимо с развитием ребенка. Первоначально он был членом преступного Института Зла , заклятых врагов Эскадрона, хотя, не имея искренних преступных намерений, он в основном следовал примеру лидера команды Ape-X , который был его другом «многие и многие годы». После того, как Институт Зла проиграл битву против Эскадрона, [168] все члены института прошли модификацию поведения, их судимости были прощены, и все они присоединились к Эскадрону. [168] Теперь, как общественный крестоносец и авантюрист, Shape помогал контролировать производство поясов силового поля. [169] Он также помогал своим коллегам-супергероям и нянчился с тремя детьми Арканны Джонс, особенно сблизившись с Друзиллой Джонс. [170] В конце концов, модификация поведения была отменена противниками Эскадрильи, Искупителями , но Форма, изначально никогда не бывшая преступником, все равно решила встать на сторону Эскадрильи против Ночного Ястреба и Искупителей. После битвы Форма помог доставить беременную Арканну в родильное отделение после того, как она потеряла сознание. [171]
Позже, Форма сопровождала Эскадрон в тщетной борьбе против Nth Man . [172] В результате, Форма и Эскадрон отправились на Землю. Там, Форма и Хейвайр были ментально принуждены Сверхразумом , чтобы помешать Квазару следовать за звездолетом, на котором Сверхразум похитил Верховный Эскадрон. [173]
Мириам Шарп — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Все, что известно о Шарп до сюжетной линии Гражданской войны , что она была замужем; была жительницей Стэмфорда , штат Коннектикут; и имела маленького сына по имени Дэмиен, который учился в начальной школе Стэмфорда. Ее сын был в школе в тот день, когда драка между Новыми Воинами и несколькими суперзлодеями уничтожила большую часть Стэмфорда, включая начальную школу. После смерти сына Шарп стала самым влиятельным голосом в зарождающемся Движении за регистрацию , требуя от правительства принятия Закона о регистрации сверхлюдей (SHRA). На поминальной службе по жертвам атаки в Стэмфорде у Шарп была широко разрекламированная конфронтация с Тони Старком , где она обвинила благодетеля Мстителей в том, что он был там только для того, чтобы «играть в героя». Именно эта конфронтация с Шарп убедила Старк также отстаивать Закон о регистрации как Железный Человек. Однако Старк на самом деле уже тайно поддерживал Закон о регистрации еще до катастрофы в Стэмфорде. Шарп широко отмечена экспертами как блестящий политический деятель. В течение нескольких недель после катастрофы в Стэмфорде ей удалось создать базу поддержки, которая собрала сотни людей для марша на Белый дом, оказала влияние на сверхлюдей и в конечном итоге убедила Конгресс и президента принять закон о регистрации сверхлюдей. [174]
Шарп появилась на сцене на пресс-конференции, где Человек-паук снял с себя маску, став одним из первых публичных сторонников. [175] Шарп присутствовала на похоронах Билла Фостера после того, как он был убит киборгом-клоном Тора . Она снова поговорила с Железным человеком, на этот раз, чтобы укрепить приверженность Железного человека SHRA, а также сравнила убийство Билла Фостера «Тором» с убийством полицейским бандита. Она также подарила ему модель Железного человека, любимую игрушку своего сына, чтобы напомнить Железному человеку о том, за что они сражались. [176] Росомаха также разыскивал Шарп, чтобы рассказать ей историю о том, как он добился справедливости в Нитро и с бывшим генеральным директором Damage Control Inc. Уолтером Деклуном (который давал Нитро таблетки гормона роста мутанта для повышения мощности, что привело к разрушению Стэмфорда и предоставлению Деклуму множества выгодных контрактов на восстановление). [177]
Старк показывает ей ряд садов, созданных в память о детях, погибших в инциденте в Стэмфорде. Здесь Шарп благодарит и Старка, и Мистера Фантастика за поддержку ее идеи регистрации супергероев, несмотря на ее негативные побочные эффекты. [178] Шарп присоединяется к Старку после решающей битвы, чтобы обсудить будущее после победы Про-регистрации. Когда они обсуждают планы на будущее, включая недавнее повышение Старк до директора Щ.И.Т., Шарп говорит Старк, что она наконец-то снова начала верить в супергероев, благодаря Старк. [179] В свете публичных отношений между Старком и Майей Хансен , создательницей вируса Экстремис , которую Шарп считает массовой убийцей, Шарп пошла на телевизионную программу Viewpoint, чтобы публично напасть на правительство за поддержку Хансен. [180] Позже Шарп поддерживает назначение Ультра Девочки на должность директора Младших гвардейцев, молодежного отделения Инициативы, похожего на программу JROTC . [181]
В сюжетной линии « Страх сам по себе » 2011 года она спасает выжившего Нового Воина Робби Болдуина (Спидбол), который был вовлечен в инцидент в Стэмфорде, от разъяренной толпы в то время, когда Змей и его Достойные сеяли страх и хаос по всему миру. За это время она простила Спидбола за то, что произошло в Стэмфорде. [182] Она говорит толпе, что не верит, что Болдуин убил ее сына, что это сделал злодей, на которого он безответственно напал. Мириам приходит к пониманию того, что весь мир находится под атакой таинственной силы разрушения и что ресурсы Болдуина как соратника Мстителей и подготовка Мириам по восстановлению после катастроф могут принести пользу. Они работают вместе, чтобы помочь небольшим городам, до которых Мстители еще не добрались. [183]
Мириам Шарп появляется в фильме «Первый мститель: Противостояние» , роль исполнила Элфри Вудард . Сын этой версии был убит во время битвы Мстителей в Соковии в фильме «Мстители: Эра Альтрона» . Она обвиняет в этом Мстителей и сталкивается с Тони Старком, побуждая его поддержать Заковийские соглашения . [184]
Шатра — насекомое из Астрального Плана и тотем паучьей осы , так же как Человек-Паук, по слухам, является тотемом паука. Она — соавтор Паутины Жизни и Судьбы, которая преобразовалась в свое нынешнее состояние после того, как ее вклад остался непризнанным. [185] [186] [187] [188] [189]
Шатра обладает сверхчеловеческими физическими способностями и способностью стрелять парализующими жалами из своих запястий. Человек-паук позже получил эту способность (временно) во время сюжетной линии The Other .
Шаттеракс (Роко-Бай) был создан Леном Камински и Полом Райаном и впервые появился в Iron Man #278 в марте 1992 года.
Роко-Бай был представителем нового поколения солдат-киборгов Крии , прозванных техно-воинами, и он сражался с супергероем Железным Человеком во время войны Крии-Ши'ар . [190] А позже он присоединился к Звездной силе . [191]
Во время сюжетной линии Annihilation: Conquest он вместе с Кри были заражены Фалангой , став одним из их избранных и приняв участие в нападении на Адама Уорлока , однако они потерпели неудачу. [192]
Shinobi Shaw , также известный как Black King of the Hellfire Club , — суперзлодей, появляющийся в американских комиксах, изданных Marvel Comics. Персонаж обычно изображается как противник Людей Икс и связанных с ними команд. Созданный Крисом Клермонтом , Джимом Ли и Уилсом Портасио , персонаж впервые появился в X-Factor #67 (июнь 1991). Он сын бывшего Черного короля Себастьяна Шоу и является мутантом со способностью контролировать плотность собственного тела.
Shinobi - приемный сын Себастьяна Шоу, лидера Клуба Адского Пламени. В своем первом появлении Шоу оказывается вовлеченным в Upstarts , группу, состоящую из Сиены Блейз , Фабиана Кортеса , Тревора Фицроя и членов-испытательников Андреаса и Андреа Штрукер (из Fenris ), которыми манипулировал Gamemaster и изначально Селена, чтобы они соревновались в «игре», которая включала убийство известных мутантов и получение очков за каждое убийство. Shinobi выбрал своего собственного отца в качестве цели и приступил к его убийству, так как Shinobi вырос, ненавидя своего отца за то, как он с ним обращался. Сначала он участвовал в серии финансовых махинаций, чтобы разорить своего отца, ему удалось купить Shaw Industries, коллекцию компаний своего отца, прямо у него из-под носа. Обанкротив его, Shinobi смело столкнулся с отцом в частном шале Себастьяна в Швейцарии и рассказал, как теперь он владеет Shaw Industries. Он также жестоко поддразнил своего отца, предположив, что, возможно, покойный Гарри Лиланд, коллега Себастьяна из Клуба Адского Пламени, мог быть его настоящим отцом, основываясь на схожих силах Шиноби и Гарри. Наконец, Шиноби проник в грудь Себастьяна и устроил ему коронарный приступ. Затем шале было уничтожено взрывом, и Шиноби, по-видимому, остался единственным выжившим. [193] Шоу смог ненадолго взять под контроль Клуб Адского Пламени, приняв мантию Черного Короля [ нужен том и выпуск ] . В ранние годы Шиноби часто окружал себя полураздетыми мужчинами и женщинами. [194]
Устранение Шиноби своего отца вывело его вперед в рейтинге Upstarts, сделав его фаворитом в игре. Шиноби наслаждался своим новообретенным богатством и славой, и его многочисленные слуги удовлетворяли все его прихоти в его роскошных апартаментах в Нью-Йорке и Токио. Однако его соперник Upstart, Тревор Фицрой, жаждал занять первое место в Upstarts для себя. С новой, улучшенной партией Sentinel он организовал резню большинства Reavers, Hellions и Эммы Фрост, Белой Королевы Клуба Адского Пламени. Фицрой принес безжизненного Фроста Шиноби в качестве доказательства и потребовал передать ему кольцо Себастьяна, которое Шиноби носил как символ власти. Когда Шиноби отказался отдать его, Фицрой не дрогнув отрезал палец Шиноби, на котором было кольцо, и схватил его. После того, как Шиноби заставил своих Стражей пришить ему палец, он выследил Фицроя и обнаружил его на своей секретной базе в айсберге за Полярным кругом. Люди Шиноби схватили Фицроя, и Шиноби вернул себе кольцо. Он также радостно сообщил Фицрою, что Мастер игр, координатор игры Upstarts, решил эту стычку между двумя мужчинами в пользу Шиноби. Узнав, что Люди Икс также находятся на базе Фицроя в данный момент, Шиноби попытался продолжить свои достижения в Upstarts и уничтожить всю команду с помощью нескольких организованных им взрывов, однако он потерпел неудачу. [195]
Лидирующее положение Shinobi среди Upstarts было недолгим. Его коллега-конкурент Фабиан Кортес утверждал, что убил Магнето и стал лидером в игре. Когда Кортес решительно возразил против включения человека, Грейдона Крида , в число Upstarts, Shinobi попытался успокоить его, напомнив ему, что Upstarts возникли как эскапистская игра для развлечения богатых, скучающих и избалованных детей. [196] Во время другой из этих игр Upstarts нацеливаются на выживших членов New Mutants и Hellions , но терпят поражение от объединенных сил X-Force и New Warriors . [197] Примерно в то же время, желая вернуть Inner Circle его былую славу, Шоу обращается к Бетси Брэддок и Уоррену Уортингтону , пытаясь убедить их стать частью Inner Circle. Однако оба X-Men отказываются. [ нужен том и выпуск ] [198] Он также пытался привлечь Шторм в качестве члена по приказу Кандры , но она также отказалась. [199] Продолжая работать с Клубом Адского Пламени, он организует покушение на редактора Daily Bugle Дж. Джона Джеймсона, но его силовая игра была сорвана Человеком-пауком и горсткой Людей Икс. [200]
Узнав, что его отец жив, Шиноби, вероятно, опасаясь возмездия за покушение, оставил все свои унаследованные должности и вернулся к более скрытному образу жизни, позволив Себастьяну взять под контроль Клуб Адского Пламени. Затем Шиноби работал со Спиралью и Слиянием Разумов, когда они экспериментировали над братьями и сестрами Кармы . Однако его личный убийца Клир-Кат предает его и помогает Силе Икс победить его. [201]
В результате действий Алой Ведьмы почти все мутанты во всем мире были лишены своих сил. Подтверждено, что Шиноби является одним из ограниченного числа мутантов, сохранивших свои силы после сюжетной линии « Децимация » 2005 года. [202] Когда Селена попыталась стать богиней, выяснилось, что Шиноби в какой-то момент был найден и убит своим отцом, поскольку он был воскрешен Селеной с помощью техно-органического вируса и отправлен с Гарри Лиландом , чтобы убить своего отца и Дональда Пирса . [203] Селена в конечном итоге была побеждена, и судьба Шиноби осталась неопределенной. [204]
Позже выясняется, что Шиноби жив и снова собрал Upstarts, чтобы убить Nasty Boys и выманить X-Men. Upstarts быстро нейтрализуются, и после того, как выясняется, что X-Men неосознанно работают на Эмму Фрост, Шиноби использует свои собственные силы мутанта, чтобы совершить самоубийство, просунув руку через голову, прежде чем пробормотать, что Эмма Фрост его не достанет. [ 205] В перезапуске комиксов X-Men в 2019 году Шиноби был воскрешен на Кракоа Пятеркой и отдан под опеку своего отца, который назначил его Черным епископом Торговой компании Адского Пламени. Шиноби не знал об обстоятельствах своей смерти, и его отец сказал ему, что Эмма Фрост и Кейт Прайд сговорились убить его. [206] После того, как Кейт Прайд убита, а предательство Шоу раскрыто через Локхид, Эмма немедленно звонит Каллисто, чтобы пойти за Шиноби, который встречался с Кристианом Фростом, с которым он начал встречаться. [207] С Кэлом в качестве своего телохранителя Эмма читает мысли Шиноби и узнаёт, что он не знал о намерениях своего отца. Позже Эмма делает подкол в адрес Себастьяна, подвергая сомнению его происхождение от Шиноби. Выясняется, что Шиноби на самом деле является внебрачным сыном Гарри Лиланда. [208]
Женщина-Халк — имя нескольких персонажей, появляющихся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Во время сюжетной линии « Ultimate Invasion » Мейкер отправился на Землю-6160 и переделал её по своему образу и подобию. Леджори Закария — уроженец южной части Тихого океана , мутировавший из-за гамма-бомбы Брюса Баннера . После встречи с Железным Парнем , Тором и Сиф они соглашаются помочь восстановить остров до того состояния, в котором он был до этого. [210]

Оболочка — нелюдь, из тела которой торчат металлические осколки.
Sheath появляется в франшизе Marvel Rising , озвученный Беннеттом Абара . [211] Эта версия была ответственна за смерть друга Призрака-Паука, Нелюдя Кевина, и является союзником Изгнанника. В Marvel Rising: Chasing Ghosts Sheath и Изгнанник побеждены Секретными Воинами и переданы Джорджу Стейси и его коллегам-полицейским с доказательствами того, что Призрак-Паук не убивал Кевина.
Shift — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Shift — один из трёх клонов Майлза Моралеса , созданных Assessor. [212]

Рэндалл Шайр — мутант, управлявший небольшим передвижным цирком в Австралии, состоящим исключительно из мутантов низкого уровня, притворяющихся простыми артистами.
SHOC — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics. Он был создан Говардом Маки и Джоном Ромитой-младшим в Spider-Man #76 (1997).
Тодд Филдс — сын доктора Уильяма Филдса, который работал на HYDRA в проекте SHOC (Sub-dimensional Human-based Occultechnic Conduit). Идея заключалась в использовании высокоразвитой технологии, соединяющейся с довольно загадочным измерением Darkforce . Доктор Уильям Филдс превратил его в броню, и он обладает возможностями Cloak , такими как плавление теней и проецирование энергии Darkforce в броню для изменения ее формы. Первым объектом доктора Филдса был человек, который стал известен как Локсиас Краун , однако у Крауна были свои скрытые планы, и он убил доктора Филдса вместе со многими другими агентами Гидры и планировал использовать технологию SHOC, чтобы завоевать мир. Тодд был маленьким мальчиком, когда стал свидетелем смерти своего отца, что сильно его травмировало. Однако его отец оставил Тодду ключевые компоненты, чтобы Тодд выследил и украл еще одну броню SHOC и связался с ней. Затем Тодд стал SHOC и поклялся отомстить Крауну за убийство своего отца. [213]
После того, как Тодд увидел, как его отца убили агенты Гидры, он был опустошен. Спустя годы, будучи взрослым человеком, он стал новым SHOC и героем. Он несколько раз объединялся с Человеком-пауком и сражался с Доном Фортунато за местонахождение Крауна, и его направили к Хаммерхеду, который сообщил ему, что живой вампир Майкл Морбиус был захвачен доктором Андреа Янсон. Хаммерхед убил доктора Андреа Янсон, любовницу Крауна, чтобы выманить его. Во время противостояния Хаммерхед был тяжело ранен, и SHOC придумал способ победить Крауна, заставив его истощить силу корабля ГИДРЫ, перегрузив его. Позже Краун вернулся как Голод, вампир, и сражался с Блэйдом и Человеком-пауком. Однако SHOC примирился с собой, так как броня убивала его, как и Крауна.
Пытаясь наладить свою жизнь, Тодд попал в засаду Руки и был убит, но был воскрешен, подвергнут промыванию мозгов и использован в качестве оружия против Росомахи в фильме «Росомаха: Враг государства» . К счастью, Щ.И.Т. смог остановить влияние Гидры и обратить вспять промывание мозгов. Его память медленно восстанавливается, и он снова стал героем. [214]
Броня SHOC, с которой он был связан, позволяла ему использовать мощное оружие, не требующее перезарядки или перезарядки, поскольку оно питалось от Темной силы. Он мог использовать комбинацию технологий и мистических энергий, чтобы увеличить свою силу, скорость, летать (создавая крылья Темной силы), телепортироваться, растворяться в тенях, создавать когти и другое оружие из своего тела и щита из энергий Темной силы.
Дробовик ( Дженсен «Дж. Р.» Уокер ) — вымышленный персонаж в киновселенной Marvel. Персонаж, созданный Энн Носенти и Джоном Ромитой-младшим, впервые появился в Daredevil #271 (октябрь 1989).
Дж. Р. Уокер когда-то был солдатом в армии США, прежде чем стать убийцей, работающим на ЦРУ . ЦРУ и Скип Эш послали Дробовика, чтобы спасти молодую блондинку, известную как Номер 9. В итоге он сражался с Сорвиголовой . [215]
В какой-то момент он работал бок о бок с Карателем, объединившись, чтобы уничтожить преступную семью Карбоне. Дробовика наняли, чтобы сделать это, потому что семья Карбоне не была «ручной» мафией, которой наслаждалось правительство. Дробовик спасает жизни Карателя и его союзника Микки Фондоцци . Затем Дробовик и Каратель работают над тем, чтобы уничтожить изолированный остров, полный членов международной мафии. Эта конкретная битва приводит к уничтожению большей части семьи Карбоне, а Розали Карбоне остается главной. [216]
В день, когда Рэнди Робертсон и Дженис Линкольн собирались пожениться, Дробовик разбил свадьбу на своем мотоцикле, где он использовал специальные пули, чтобы ранить Надгробие . Пока Надгробие везли в больницу, Человек-паук преследовал Дробовика, которому удалось ускользнуть от него. [82]
Во время сюжетной линии « Война банд » Дробовик наблюдает, как Человек-паук и Женщина-Халк сражаются с вторгшимися монстрами из Метрополиса монстров, когда он получает звонок о том, что Надгробие проснулось. [83] Шогтун был с Мадам Маска, когда люди Хаммерхеда пришли искать Хаммерхеда. Было показано, что он держит в руках побежденного графа Нефарию и голову Сильвермейна , когда он бросает их на землю. [84] Дробовик дает Мадам Маска статус в войнах банд и приобретении бывшей территории Мастера Криминала . [217] Оказывается, что Дробовик контролируется магическим заклинанием, которым овладела Мадам Маска, когда она произносит заклинание, чтобы обновить его после того, как Дробовик упомянул его «бывших боссов». Он и контролируемые разумом граф Нефария и Сильвермейн были с Мадам Маска, когда они столкнулись с Жуком и ее последователями в Центральном парке. [86] Во время боя в Центральном парке Надгробие достаточно подавило Дробовика, чтобы сломать символ контроля разума. Упоминая свое полное имя и род занятий, Дробовик говорит Надгробию, что у правительства США есть файлы на всех криминальных лордов, включая Дженис Линкольн, поскольку Мадам Маск контролировала его разум, прежде чем он смог ее убить. Затем Надгробие вырубает Дробовика. [87] Придя в сознание, Дробовик стреляет символами контроля разума в Графа Нефарию и Сильвермейна, прежде чем сбежать. [88]
Спортивный мужчина без сверхчеловеческих способностей, Shotgun — опытный боец ближнего боя и эксперт-стрелок с большинством известных видов огнестрельного оружия. Shotgun носит кевлар (бронежилет) для защиты. Он использует мощную безоткатную винтовку, стреляющую различными взрывными, фугасными, горючими и дезинтегрирующими боеприпасами, а также имеет специально разработанный одноместный танк. Оборудование Shotgun было разработано отделом исследований и разработок вооружений Центрального разведывательного управления.
Шрайкер — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics. Его альтер эго — Джек Д'Аурия , лучший друг Дэнни Кетча . Джек имеет обширную подготовку в боевых искусствах и освоил все дисциплины.
Джек рос как друг Дэна Кетча. Он также изучал боевые искусства у сенсея Юги Ватанабе. Однажды в гараж, где часто бывали Дэн и Джек, ворвалась банда мотоциклистов. Они скрывались от мистера Хайда и заперли их обоих. Дэн превратился в Призрачного гонщика и победил группу, а также Хайда. [218] Позже Джек и его сенсей стали целью Deathwatch . Джек был ранен, а затем похищен из больницы. Однако Призрачный гонщик смог освободить его с помощью сына Юги Брасса (Шон Ватанабе) и Росомахи. [ нужен том и выпуск ] Некоторое время спустя Призрачному гонщику помог таинственный Шрайкер. В конце концов Джек раскрыл, что он Шрайкер. Однако Дэн попросил его держаться подальше от конфликтов Призрачного гонщика, так как все становилось слишком опасным. [ нужен том и выпуск ]
После Гражданской войны супергероев Шрайкер рассматривался в качестве кандидата в Инициативу Мстителей . Неизвестно, записался ли он когда-либо, поскольку он жил в Канаде и, следовательно, находился вне юрисдикции Тони Старка .
Shrunken Bones — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Джерри Морган — гений в органических науках, работал биологом и биохимиком, прежде чем стать профессиональным преступником. Морган экспериментировал с клеточной компрессией и однажды ему удалось уменьшить свой собственный размер, используя газ, похожий на тот, который использовал Хэнк Пим , чтобы уменьшить свой собственный размер. Однако последующий эксперимент несколько уменьшил размер скелета Моргана, оставив его кожу свободно свисать с его костей. [219] Позже Морган присоединился к Headmen в их стремлении использовать свои интеллектуальные таланты, чтобы взять под контроль мир. [220] Доктор Джерольд Морган впервые появился в World of Fantasy #11 (апрель 1958 г.) и был создан Анджело Торресом . Эта история была переиздана в Weird Wonder Tales #7 (декабрь 1974 г.).
Sibercat — вымышленный персонаж, появляющийся в американских комиксах, издаваемых Marvel Comics.
Сибирский тигр (переименованный в Sibercat в Soviet Super Soldiers #1) был членом мутантского подполья отца Гарноффа в России. Они работали с оригинальным X-Factor, чтобы атаковать лабораторию Doppelganger.
Позже они помогли мутантам из Советского Союза Суперсолдатам избежать правительственного плена. Киборг по имени Файрфокс убил большинство товарищей по команде Иллича, что привело его и отца Гарноффа к объединению с их новыми союзниками в Суперсолдатах, образовав группу, поочередно называемую Изгнанниками или Siberforce.
Некоторое время спустя Sibercat был сделан членом Зимней гвардии, когда Siberforce и Народный протекторат объединились в одну группу. Группа сражалась с Мандарином, когда его «Дракон небес» вошел в воздушное пространство России.
Силы Sibercat были териантропоподобной трансформацией в кошачью/гуманоидную форму. Кошачья мутация Sibercat дала ему повышенную силу, скорость, ловкость, выносливость, «кошачьи» рефлексы, улучшенные чувства, исцеляющий фактор и когти.
Siege ( Джон Келли ) — вымышленный персонаж. Персонаж впервые появился в Marvel Comics Presents #62 (сентябрь 1990), созданный Дуэйном Макдаффи , Грегори Райтом и Джексоном Гайсом .
После обратного проектирования и деконструкции тела оригинального Детлока, Лютер Мэннинг, Харлан Райкер из дочерней компании Roxxon Oil Cybertek Systems построил прототип нового, значительно улучшенного киборга Детлока. Полковник Джон Келли, лишенный гражданских прав ветеран войны во Вьетнаме , которого недавно уволили с работы в полиции, вызвался стать научным подопытным кроликом, послужив основой программного обеспечения для проекта Райкера. Останки оригинального тела Джона Келли были включены в структуру киборга Детлока. Однако в своем первом выходе в качестве профессионального солдата Детлока он восстал против запрограммированных на его компьютере целей миссии, и бортовая компьютерная система ударила его током по мозгу, поскольку она определила, что Келли «неисправен». [221]
Некоторое время спустя, после того, как Майкл Коллинз проработал как Детлок в течение нескольких месяцев, остатки мозга Джона Келли мутировали в ужасное существо под названием Biohazard . [222] Затем Коллинз обнаружил в банках данных компьютера Детлока файл с названием «Джон Келли». Открыв этот файл, он обнаружил копию сознания Джона Келли, сохраненную как чистые данные, находившиеся в файле в спящем состоянии. После того, как он открыл файл, копия Келли заразила собственный мозг Майкла Коллинза, работающий как второе сознание, к раздражению их обоих. [223] Однако эта ситуация не продлилась долго, так как вскоре после этого Детлок обнаружил, что Харлан Райкер работает над новой, значительно улучшенной серией солдат-киборгов, на этот раз с лоботомированными мозгами, чтобы избежать проблем, которые он испытывал как с Келли, так и с Коллинзом. В ходе последовавшей битвы копия сознания Келли была перенесена в разум одного из новых киборгов, освободив Коллинза от роли хозяина для его нежеланного гостя и вернув Келли подобие жизни. Будучи киборгом, вместе с Детлоком, Серебряным Соболем и Дикой Стаей он сражался с Мэйнфреймом, Беном Джейкобсом и Кибервоинами. Келли окрестил себя Осадой в честь прозвища, которое дал ему старый боевой товарищ. [224] Вместе с Детлоком и Холодной Кровью он сражался с Харланом Райкером, Мэйнфреймом, Беном Джейкобсом и Кибервоинами. [225]
Siege некоторое время работал наемником на Silver Sable, SHIELD и других. Вместе с Silver Sable, Wild Pack, Next Wave и Knights of Wundagore он сражался с Genesis Coalition и Cyberwarriors. [226] Он отразил авиаудар по американским войскам, нанесенный враждебной иностранной державой на Ближнем Востоке. [227] Вместе с Deathlok он сражался с Timestream и его наемниками в Австралии. [228] Вместе с Deathlok он пережил прозрение Богини. [ 229] Вместе с Daredevil он сражался с Venom и Hand. [230] Вместе с Deathlok и Godwulf он сражался с Timestream, Demolisher и Luther Manning в прошлом. [231]
Во время Гражданской войны супергероев, Siege присоединился к Инициативе и был назначен руководителем команды штата Флорида, Командования, вместе с Wundarr Водолеем , Jennifer Kale и Conquistador. Команда расследует беспорядки в болоте Citrusville (доме Man-Thing и Nexus всех реальностей). Conquistador разорван на части. Wundarr заражен, но очищает себя. Siege укушен в лицо зомби и, несмотря на его кибернетическую природу, был быстро обращен. Он нападает на Jennifer Kale, говоря, что он хотел ее в команде только из-за ее наряда «варварского бикини», который она раньше носила. Его бортовой компьютер предупреждает ARMOR о том, что он, по-видимому, неисправен. Часть киборга отстреливается от головы Siege. [232]
Рэймонд Сикорски , иногда неправильно пишется как Сикорский , — персонаж, появляющийся в Marvel Comics. Персонаж, созданный Роджером Стерном и Бобом Будиански , впервые появился в The Avengers #235 (июнь 1983).
Он является правительственным посредником и коллегой Генри Питера Гайрича .

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 improbable events.[291][292]
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.[293] After Soap criticizes his profile of the Punisher, the distraught Plugg hangs himself in his and Soap's shared office.[294]
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.[295] 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.

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.[307]
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".[308]

Spike is the name of several fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are not to be confused with Spyke from X-Men: Evolution, nor with Spike Freeman, another character in the groups X-Statix and X-Force.
Darren Elliot aka The Spike debuted in X-Force #121 created by Peter Milligan and Mike Allred.
After watching video footage of independent hero, the Spike in action, the Santa Monica, California-based mutant-superhero group X-Statix agrees to have him join the team. His antagonistic nature creates fighting and tension among himself and his teammates. During a battle with the mutant terrorist group the Brotherhood, the Spike aids the Orphan in killing one of the Brotherhood members by impaling her as she fell backwards from the Orphan's punch.[351] In another battle, in Central America, the Spike and the Anarchist competed to kill as many militiamen as possible.[352] Sometime later, after seeing Vivisector and Phat holding hands, the Spike's homophobic reaction causes another rift with the team.[353] The Spike eventually is killed by an impostor, who is himself then killed.[354]

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.[358] 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.[359] 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."[360] Nicholas Friedman of Comic Book Resources ranked William Naslund 18th in their "The Very Best Captain Americas" list.[361]
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.[362]
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.[363] Alongside Namor the Sub-Mariner and the original Red Guardian, the new Captain America stopped a Nazi plot to destroy the Potsdam Conference.[364] They briefly fought alongside the post-war All-Winners Squad, battling Isbisa[365] 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.[366] 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.[367] 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.[368]

He first encounters the Guardians of the Galaxy while they are responding to a distress call from Firelord in the Tilnast system.[369] 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.[370] 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.[371]
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.[372]

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.[376] 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.[377]
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.[378] Later Spyne is part of the new Dark Riders that attempts to kill off all the mutant healers.

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.[413]
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.[414]

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, sharing traits with Sun Boy and Wildfire.[59] 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.[420]
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.[421]
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.[422]
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.[423]
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.[424]
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.[61]
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.[425]
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.[426] He survived the Imperial Guard's battle with Vulcan.[65][427]
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."[428]

Stilt-Man is the name of several supervillains in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Stilt-Man first appeared in Daredevil #8 (June 1965).[453] He is a criminal wearing an impenetrable suit of armor with powerful telescopic legs.[454] In addition to being one of Daredevil's most enduring arch-foes, he has appeared as an adversary to various other heroes, such as Iron Man, Thor, and Spider-Man.
Wilbur Day was born in New York City. As a scientist, inventor, and engineer, he was employed by Carl Kaxton who invented a hydraulic ram device. Wilbur stole Kaxton's designs and used them to engineer telescopic metal legs which allowed him to tower high over the ground. He incorporated these hydraulic stilts into an armored battlesuit, which he created for use in robberies as the professional criminal Stilt-Man.[455] He battled Daredevil, and was seemingly shrunk into nothingness by an experimental molecular condenser ray.[456] He later escapes the Microverse and works with the Masked Marauder.[457] Stilt-Man teamed with the Masked Marauder in an attempt to trap Daredevil; however, he battled Spider-Man and was defeated by Daredevil.[458] His escape from Daredevil aided by Electro was later recounted. Stilt-Man teamed with Electro, Matador, Leap-Frog, and Gladiator to form the original Emissaries of Evil and battle Daredevil.[459] Stilt-Man was later hired by mobsters to kill district attorney candidate Foggy Nelson, and battled Daredevil once again.[460] He disguised himself as Stunt-Master, and attacked Daredevil on a Hollywood movie set.[461] In San Francisco, he kidnapped his former employer Carl Kaxton and his daughter, to force him to recreate his molecular condenser. However, Stilt-Man battled and was defeated by Daredevil and the Black Widow.[462]
Besides Stilt-Man's long, unsuccessful career against Daredevil, he encountered other superheroes in the meantime. He was hired by Los Angeles mobsters to kill the Falcon, and in the process stole various weapons and devices from the Trapster.[463] He robbed a Los Angeles bank, and battled Black Goliath. He teleported Black Goliath and his companions to an alien planet using the Z-ray weapon.[464] Stilt-Man attacked Black Goliath at Champions headquarters in search of an alien power source. He battled the Champions, and his Z-ray weapon was destroyed by Darkstar, but he managed to escape from the Champions.[465] He was later freed from prison by Blastaar and F.A.U.S.T., and given a special new battlesuit constructed of secondary adamantium with additional weaponry. He stole some radioactive isotopes, and battled Thor, but lost the fight and was stripped of his suit by the victorious Thunder God, who confiscated it.[466]
Stilt-Man was hired to kidnap assistant District Attorney Maxine Lavender. He was waylaid in his civilian identity by Turk Barrett, a small-time crook and an even greater loser than Day, who stole his armor and took on the Stilt-Man identity. Turk contacted the Kingpin and offered to become his new assassin, only to be refused. Enraged by Turk's audacity, Day contacted Daredevil and informed him of a weakness in the armor. Thanks to Day's information, Daredevil easily disabled the auto-gyroscopes necessary for the armor to keep its balance and brought Turk down.[467] Day later modified the armor to prevent Daredevil from using this newfound knowledge against him.[volume & issue needed] Stilt-Man sought to regain his reputation by defeating Spider-Man. He turned an automated Cordco factory against Spider-Man, but when Spider-Man saved his life, Stilt-Man returned the favor by not taking the opportunity to kill him.[468]
Stilt-Man continued to make sporadic appearances in various Marvel comics, wherein he has continued his criminal career and fought several superheroes, but without much success. One of his most prominent appearances during this time was during the Iron Man storyline "Armor Wars", where he was one of the many armored super-villains whose armors had been secretly upgraded with technology stolen from Tony Stark; Iron Man quickly defeated the villain in their confrontation by throwing one of his own hydraulic legs at him to knock him out.[469] Stilt-Man later attempted to kill District Attorney Blake Tower for sending him to prison, but was captured by She-Hulk.[470] Stilt-Man was among the villains assembled by Doctor Doom to attack the Fantastic Four in Washington, D.C. during the Acts of Vengeance. Even though he had several other villains with him, he failed miserably.[471] He was also among the villains who attempted to attack the Avengers at the site of their reconstructed mansion, but was foiled by the construction workers.[472]
In the 2006 series Heroes for Hire, a version of Stilt-Man's armor can be found in a police storehouse with other villains' equipment under their names. The armor seen here is labeled "Case: NYC v. Turk ("Loser")".,[473] and is used by Scorpion during her battle with Paladin. Later, Daredevil's secret identity of Matt Murdock was exposed by a local newspaper, with Murdock denying the allegations. On hearing of this news, Wilbur visited the law offices of Nelson and Murdock, announcing he was sick of the whole ordeal and that he was retiring as Stilt-Man. He left his armor in a suitcase on Murdock's desk, and was forcibly removed when he began yelling his paranoid conclusion that Murdock was the real Kingpin. Murdock then jokingly asked his law partner, Foggy Nelson, if he would like to be the next Stilt-Man, an offer he quickly declined.[474] During this period, Day romanced and eventually married Circus of Crime member Princess Python.[volume & issue needed]
When the Superhero Registration Act offered Day a chance at redemption, he signed up with the government and was outfitted with a new suit of armor to serve as a law enforcer during the Civil War.[volume & issue needed] Unfortunately for Day, one of his assignments led him into conflict with the Punisher. Both were tracking a convicted child pornographer who was already in FBI custody. The Punisher paralyzes Stilt-Man with a M72 LAW, and then shoots him at point-blank range, killing him. The pornographer is killed moments later.[475] Day's funeral was held in the Bar With No Name, and was attended by his fellow also-rans of the crime world. Sadness turned to remembrance, which turned into high spirits, which eventually led to a full-scale fight breaking out. The appearance of Spider-Man put an end to the violence, but the bar was then promptly blown up by the Punisher in an attempt to kill all the villains inside.[476] It was later mentioned that "they all had to get their stomachs pumped and be treated for third-degree burns", with Stilt-Man ultimately succumbing to his injuries and dying.[477]
During the Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy storyline, Stilt-Man is among the supervillains "reanimated" in cloned bodies (with their souls intact) by Ben Reilly and his company New U Technologies.[478]
Stilt-Man later appears in San Francisco where he fights the Superior Spider-Man, who has recently relocated there.[479]
During Day's absence from the world of costumed crime, an as-yet-unnamed criminal acquired the Stilt-Man armor. After upgrading its telescoping abilities, this Stilt-Man was defeated by Daredevil and Luke Cage. The fight only lasted as long as it did because Daredevil was afraid of knocking the villain out at his current height as the fall would have killed him.[480] He was next seen being defeated by Ms. Marvel.[481] Stilt-Man later fought both Daredevil and the Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus' mind in Spider-Man's body).[482]
A third Stilt-Man was chosen by a gang of small-time petty thugs. Michael Watts claimed to know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy that leads to the connection of the Tinkerer who apparently upgraded the suit before his last arrest. Punisher was aware of the gang's actions. But after some convincing by the Rhino, Frank let Watts live. Watts believes he and his gang will rise to great things since the Hood is coming to power over the supervillains.[483]

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.
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.[490] 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.[491] 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.[492]
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, transforming him into a monstrous scorpion hybrid. Rejected by his father, he becomes obsessed with finding a way to reverse his mutation.[493]
Kron Stone as Scorpion appears as a boss in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, voiced by John Kassir.[494] He seeks to steal a fragment of the Tablet of Order and Chaos for Doctor Octopus in exchange for restoring his human form. Along the way, the fragment empowers him, allowing Stone to lay eggs and create offspring that share his deadly abilities. Despite this, Spider-Man 2099 is able to defeat him.[495][496]
Tiberius "Ty" Stone is Tyler Stone's grandfather.[497] 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.[498] This version is the CEO of Alchemax.
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.[499] Miguel's successful efforts to rid himself of the addiction create several spider-based powers.[500] 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.[501]
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.[502] 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.[503]
Stone then fired Public Eye Sgt. Rico Estevez, and reported the failure of his plans to the Alchemax CEO.[504] Stone conferred with Mr. Hikaru of Stark-Fujikawa,[505] and then conferred with Dana D'Angelo.[506] He then plotted against Spider-Man and Stark-Fujikawa.[507] Soon after that, Stone encountered Thanatos for the first time.[508] 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.[509] It is later detailed that Thanatos is a corrupted version of the heroic Rick Jones, a longtime associate of the Hulk.[510]
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.[511] 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.[volume & issue needed]
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.[512]

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.[volume & issue needed] During his recovery in the hospital, Tyler learns his love Dana had been killed; the murderer turns out to be his son Kron.[516]
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.[517]
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."[518]
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,[519] and summoned the monster Giganto, who had originally appeared decades ago.[520] 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.[521] 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.[522]
Tyler Stone is revealed to be the grandson of Tiberius Stone.[497]

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.[544]
She was first seen using her virtual powers to destroy a bar.[545] 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).[546]
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.[547]
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.
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.[volume & issue needed]
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.[volume & issue needed]
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.[548]
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.[549]
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.[549]

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.[554]
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.[554]
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.[555]
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.[556]
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.[557]
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.[558]
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).[volume & issue needed]
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.[559]
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 trauma related to the 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 intention of turning her back into a floating brain at his service.
Sugar Man is a mutant villain created by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Chris Bachalo, and first appeared in Generation Next #2 (April 1995).[562]
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.[563]
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.[volume & issue needed]
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.[volume & issue needed]
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.[564] When Excalibur continues to keep searching for the secret history of Genosha, Sugar Man prevents them by destroying the master computer holding the information.[565]
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.[566] Much to his frustration, the first assassination attempt is interrupted by Selene.[567] 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.[568]
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.[569] 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.[570] 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.[571]
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.[572] After the failed attempt to slay Bishop by using the Dark Beast's operative Fatale, the two refugees part company.[573]
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.[563]
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.[574]
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.[575]
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.[576] 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.[577] 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.[578]
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.[579]
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.[580]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.[581]
Sugar Man was also revealed to be associated with Chance and his airborne casino for criminals, the Palace.[582]
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.[583] However, Sugar Man later returns in the X-Men: From the Ashes event.[584]
Sunder (Mark Hallett) is a mutant in the Marvel Universe, a member of the Morlocks. The character, created by Chris Claremont and Paul Smith, first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #169 (May 1983).
Within the context of the stories, Sunder's mutant powers give him superhuman strength, stamina and durability. He is a founding member of the Morlocks, abandoning the identity he had in the surface human world. Sunder is the aide to Callisto, the muscle of his group who is very protective of them, especially Callisto. On Callisto's orders, he kidnaps Angel to the realm of the Morlocks.[585] He later aids Callisto in abducting Kitty Pryde and attempting to force Pryde to marry the Morlock Caliban.[586] He also serves the wizard Kulan Gath when he took over Manhattan.[587] Sometime later, he took up residence on Muir Island.[588] He briefly joins the "Muir Island" X-Men organized by Moira MacTaggert, but is killed by the cyborg Pretty-Boy with a bullet wound in the back when the Reavers invade Muir Island.[589]
Sunder appears in X-Men: The Animated Series, voiced by Dan Hennessey.[citation needed]
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.[590] Jean's makeshift team of X-Men includes long-term allies Northstar and Dazzler, and the civilians Omerta and Wraith.[591] 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.[592]
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.[593] 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.[594]
In 2020, CBR.com ranked Sunpyre 8th in their "Marvel Comics: Ranking Every Member Of Big Hero 6 From Weakest To Most Powerful" list.[595]
Sunstroke (Sol Brodstroke) is a supervillain in the Marvel Universe. The character, created by Steve Englehart and Al Milgrom, first appeared in West Coast Avengers #17 (February 1987).
Within the context of the stories, Sunstroke is originally a minion of Dominus, and has the ability to absorb solar energy and release it as blinding flashes of light or projections of heat. The Avengers stumble upon Dominus and his minions and defeat them.
Sunstroke later battles Captain America (who is posing as Crossbones) at a weapons expo hosted by AIM.[596] Sunstroke joins the Masters of Evil in their bid to blackmail the world governments[597] becomes a member of the Hood's crime syndicate.[598]
Sunstroke was among the villains that were killed by Black Ant and a restored Hank Pym and revived to join the Lethal Legion.[599]
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.[600]
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.[601] 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.[602] Freedom Force's attempts to enforce the government policy, the Mutant Registration Act, later led to a battle with the New Mutants in Dallas,[603] and with Cyclops and Marvel Girl of X-Factor in which Marvel Girl defeated Super Sabre.[604] 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.[volume & issue needed] Later during a Freedom Force mission to capture Cable, who had escaped from federal custody, Super Sabre was almost decapitated again.[605]
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.[606] 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,[607] and the mission ended with Commando crippled.[608] Following this disaster, Freedom Force was disbanded.[volume & issue needed]
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.[volume & issue needed] 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.[volume & issue needed] 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.[378]
Supercharger (Ronnie Hilliard) is a supervillain in the Marvel Universe. The character, created by Kurt Busiek, and Paul Lee, first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #17 (January 1996). He is, chronologically, Spider-Man's first super-villain.
Within the context of the stories, Ronnie Hilliard gains superpowers in a generator explosion that kills his father. Calling himself Supercharger, he is a "living battery" capable of absorbing, storing, and releasing great amounts of electricity. He can discharge this energy through physical contact or as destructive lightning-like bolts. He battles the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man.[609] Supercharger is later seen as a member of the Masters of Evil organized by the Crimson Cowl. Supercharger, alongside the rest of the Masters of Evil members, is defeated by the Thunderbolts.[610]
Supercharger is among the villains killed by Black Ant and a restored Hank Pym and revived to join the Lethal Legion.[599]
Superia is a supervillain 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).[611]
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.[612]
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.[613]
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.[614] 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.[615]
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.[volume & issue needed] 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.[volume & issue needed] 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.[volume & issue needed] 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.[volume & issue needed]
Superia reappeared years later as the leader of H.A.M.M.E.R.[volume & issue needed] 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.[616] When Osborn escaped from the Raft, he broke Superia out also.[617] She immediately joined Norman Osborn's second incarnation of the Dark Avengers as the new Ms. Marvel.[618] 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.[619]
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.[620] She is badly injured after an incident on A.I.M. Island regarding an escaped creature.[621] She then made plans to retrieve the creature for the Scientist Supreme.[622]
Superior is a name of different characters in Marvel Comics. The name has also been used in other related media.
The Superior (Jonathan Gallagher) is an enemy of Comet Man in Marvel Comics. The character, created by Bill Mumy, Miguel Ferrer and Kelley Jones, first appeared in Comet Man #1 (February 1987).
John Gallagher was born to Jack Beckley and his unnamed fiancée. Jack went to fight in the South Pacific while his fiancée gave birth to John and put him up for adoption. Jack was unaware of John's existence and went on to marry his fiancée and had Stephen and Rosemary. Years later, John formed a government group called The Bridge and adopted the name The Superior. He traced his father, but he didn't believe that John was his son, so he killed his father by staging a plane crash. He went up against his brother, Stephen, by kidnapping his son Benny, but was killed.[623]
The Superior is a fictional supervillain in Marvel Comics. The character, created by Sean McKeever and David Baldeon, first appeared in Young Allies Volume 2, #2 (September 2010).
The Superior is a ten-year-old child who claims to be the son of the Leader, and possesses a similar appearance to him.[624] He forms the Bastards of Evil, a group of individuals who were supposedly abandoned by their supervillain parents.[625]
Superior appears in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., portrayed by Zach McGowan. This version is a former SVR member named Anton Ivanov and leader of the Watchdogs.
Supernova is the name of different fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
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).[volume & issue needed] 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.[626]
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.[627]
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.[628]
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.[629]
Saal appears in Guardians of the Galaxy, portrayed by Peter Serafinowicz.[630][631] This version is the benevolent commander of Nova Corps' fighter fleet who is ultimately killed by Ronan the Accuser.
The Hydra Supreme, also known as Supreme Hydra, Imperial Hydra, Supreme Leader, Civil Warrior, and Captain Hydra, are aliases used by fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The "Supreme Hydra" is a term given to a leader of a branch and splinter group of Hydra.
Arnold Brown is the Imperial Hydra that was the organization's figurehead.[632]
An unnamed Shinto Imperialist was the first leader of Hydra. He first appeared in Captain Savage #4 (July 1968) where he was also killed by Baron Strucker who usurped his position.[633]
An unnamed leader tried to destroy the Hulk.[634]
Sn'Tlo was created by Mark Waid and Ron Garney, and first appeared in Captain America vol. 3 #3 (January 1998). He is a Skrull who infiltrated Hydra initially as the Sensational Hydra and ultimately impersonated Captain America.[635]
Edgar Lascombe was created by J. Michael Straczynski, and first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man vol. 1 #521 (June 2005). He is the Supreme Hydra that was responsible for the Hydra Four.[636]
Leopold Zola, created by Rick Remender and Roland Boschi, and first appeared in Hail Hydra #1 (July 2015). He is Arnim Zola's genetic-engineered son seen during the 2015 Secret Wars crossover event. Captain Hydra is in a warzone where Hydra has been in power, fighting Nomad and Ellie Rogers.[637]
Sway (Suzanne Chan) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in X-Men: Deadly Genesis #3 as one of the "Missing X-Men". She was created by writer Ed Brubaker and artist Pete Woods.
Originally from Hong Kong, David and Emily Chan became naturalized citizens of the United States after living twenty years in California. They had a daughter named Suzanne, who, at 17 years old, wanted to attend Barnard College on the east coast of the United States and planned a trip to New York City to prove to her parents that she would be safe on her own after moving. During the trip, David and Emily were gunned down in a crossfire between gangs in Chinatown. Although standing a few feet from her parents, Suzanne was unscathed, which perplexed police detectives.
After the shooting, Suzanne entered a state of shock. She could only dwell on the fact that when the shooting started, she had somehow stopped the bullets in midair and was able to get herself out of the path of the bullets. In actuality, she had stopped time around the bullets, effectively freezing them in place. Unfortunately, she was unable to do the same for her parents and could only watch as the bullets tore into them.
The police placed the traumatized girl in a hospital for forty-eight-hour observation, during which she mostly slept and cried. When she was released, she was told that the police were looking into things, but they did not have any leads. Wandering the streets, she returned to the spot where her parents were killed. Suddenly, her mutant powers activated again, and she was able to see past events in the area, namely the phantoms of herself and her parents. After witnessing the shooting for a second time, Suzanne followed the phantom car, carrying her parents’ murderers, throughout the city. She then realized that she somehow had control over the flow of time, and she was making it replay itself for her.[638]
Suzanne followed the murderers to their front door, and inside she could see them celebrating. She called the police, and when they arrived, the killers opened fire. Consciously using her power for the first time, she froze the bullets and the killers in time. After giving her statement to the police, the detective contacted Dr. Moira MacTaggert, who then offered Suzanne a chance to train in the use of her mutant abilities. She took the code-name Sway and went with MacTaggert. She was in the first team, along with Kid Vulcan, Darwin, and Petra to attempt to rescue the X-Men from Krakoa but was sliced in half by the island's force. With the last of her power, she and the mortally wounded Petra combined their powers to save their remaining teammates from certain death.[639]
When the X-Men established Krakoa as a mutant paradise, Sway was among the revived mutants living there. She, Petra, and Vulcan were residing in the Summer House.[640]
During the "Empyre" storyline, Sway and Petra have a drink with Vulcan at the Summer House on the Moon. After Vulcan defeated his Cotati attackers, Sway and Petra catch up to him.[641]
Sway demonstrated the ability to decelerate and probably stop or even accelerate time around her body, as well as a form of retrocognitive projection that allowed her to replay the recent pasts as short bursts of ghostly images. It is highly possible her powers revolve either around the manipulation of gravitation as means for spacetime curvature or the control of chronitons, much like Tempo, another time-manipulating mutant. By focusing carefully, Suzanne was able to slow down and stop objects entirely, enabling her to freeze projectiles in mid-air, immobilize her enemies, and various other effects. Apparently, Suzanne's training had honed her abilities to the point where she could target specific objects in her range or everything within a certain radius.
Swiney Girl is an anthropomorphic pig and animal version of Spider-Girl.
S'ym is depicted as a demon of Limbo who served as a frequent enemy and sometimes supporting character in The Uncanny X-Men and The New Mutants. He was created as an homage to independent cartoonist Dave Sim's character Cerebus the Aardvark.
S'ym was a minion of Belasco, the ruler of the demonic dimension known as Otherplace or Demonic Limbo. S'ym battles the X-Men when the team is transported to Limbo via teleportation "discs" in their search for 7-year-old Illyana Rasputin, the younger sister of the X-Man Colossus.[642]
During Illyana's seven years in Limbo, Belasco takes her as his heir and apprentice. She ultimately defeats him, becoming Limbo's new ruler, and S'ym's master, before returning to the X-Men. S'ym challenges Illyana's newfound status as Limbo's ruler. Illyana defeats S'ym, leaving S'ym to agree to serve Illyana whenever she visits Limbo.[643] S'ym allies himself with the extraterrestrial Magus, allowing himself to be infected with a techno-organic virus.[644] Though Illyana tries to take Limbo back from him several times after this, she is unable to defeat him and S'ym's hold on Limbo only increases as he spreads the techno-organic virus to other demons.[645]
S'ym also took an interest in Madelyne Pryor, and even toyed with her self-doubt, and tempted her with great power.[646] S'ym was later revealed to be partners with the demon N'astirh in manipulating Illyana into opening a portal to Earth so they can unleash a demonic invasion.[647] Once the invasion had begun, S'ym betrayed N'astirh and the two fought each other for rule of Limbo and Earth.[648] Shortly after, Illyana sacrifices herself to banish the invaders back to Limbo, including S'ym,[649] and N'astirh is killed.[650]
Now the undisputed ruler of Limbo, S'ym plots a new invasion of Earth. He plans on using the Nexus of All Realities to invade Earth, but is stopped by his former master Belasco, who manipulates Cable into confronting S'ym. Belasco reasserts his control over both S'ym and Limbo.[651] The two are later defeated by Nightcrawler as his girlfriend, Amanda Sefton, takes over Limbo. S'ym turns to an alliance with the Archenemy, a powerful magical entity, and disguises himself as Duke Bleys, becoming one of Sefton's most trusted advisers. As Bleys, S'ym tricks Sefton into allying herself with many other demon lords and merging their various realms and dimensions into a single bastion against the Archenemy. S'ym then reveals his true identity and reveals that the single, united realm is an easier target for the Archenemy than the countless dimensions he was fighting before. Nonetheless, Sefton and her army manage to slay the Archenemy and undo the merging of realms.[652]
S'ym is next seen in the New X-Men "The Quest for Magik" storyline. Illyana returns to rule Limbo and S'ym is shown to be one of her servants. He appears to be free of the techno-organic virus, with no explanation given.[653]
When Witchfire learns that Magik has left Limbo during the X-Infernus storyline, she assumes control. She stabs S'ym through the chest, seriously wounding him. Magik teleports in to find him chained to the throne. She asks what happened and he informs her that Belasco's daughter, Witchfire has taken control in her absence.[volume & issue needed]
During the Second Coming storyline, a recovered S'ym is seen reporting to N'astirh that a small squad of X-Men had come to Limbo to rescue Magik, revealing in the meantime that N'astirh was the mastermind behind the abduction of Magik in the first place.[volume & issue needed]
He next appears in "Labour's of Magik" where he is seen with an unknown individual performing a ritual similar to the one Magik performed to get her Soulsword, earning him a mace. He invades Castle Belsco with an army of demons while Magik was preparing to hand over control of Madelyne Pryor and disarms her using his new weapon forcing them to flee.[654] After months of ruling from the castle, Magik and her allies return to take back control. It turns out his unseen benefactor is another version of Magik, created by Limbo because she was neglecting her duties there. Illyana defeated S'ym and her doppelganger with the help of Madelyne who she had trained in Arcane Magic, allowing Madelyne to finally become Queen of Limbo.[655]
During the "Dark Web" storyline, Belasco mentioned that S'ym will be among the characters that will be after Belasco's misplaced Soulsword in the Screaming Tower. After Black Cat uses her grapple to pull herself and Mary Jane Watson out of the bottomless pit that the cursed and cannibalistic inhabitants chased them into, they find S'ym at the top.[656]
Margali Szardos, also known as Margali of the Winding Way, Red Queen or Fata Morgana, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men Annual #4 (August 1980), and was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist John Romita Jr. based on sketches by John Byrne. She is the adoptive mother of Nightcrawler and the biological mother of Amanda Sefton (formerly known as Daytripper and the second Magik).[657]
Margali Szardos's past is as much of an enigma as she is. She was supposedly born in Paris, France as a Manouche girl and taught magic by her mother, but she has yet to reveal her true origins. Margali's particular discipline of magic is called 'The Winding Way'.[658]
Once having been married, Szardos has two children: Stefan and Jimaine (aka Amanda). She supposedly had an affair with the demonic mutant Azazel who, at the time, had also seduced Mystique, who was then posing as the wife of Baron Christian Wagner. The Baron, who was infertile, suspected his wife of infidelity and, when the pain of childbirth caused Mystique to shift back to her natural form and deliver a devilish-looking child, the locals rose up against mother and son. Mystique fled, throwing the child over a waterfall (this detail was later retconned[659]), where he was later found and adopted by Margali. Whether she knew the child's origins or not, she raised the boy as her own.[660]
Working at Der Jahrmarkt as a fortune-teller to cover her tracks, Margali discovered that the Demon Belasco was sowing seeds of destruction into the Earth. She tricked her daughter into staying with her in Der Jahrmarkt by killing Sabu, Jimaine and Kurt's trapeze mentor. A day after Sabu's death, Kurt left Der Jahrmarkt to start a new life with the X-Men. Jimaine followed him to America and changed her name to Amanda Sefton, taking a job as a flight attendant. She and Kurt have since had an on-again, off-again relationship.
Years later, Margali learned that Kurt had killed Stefan. Too deep in grief to question why, Margali exiled Nightcrawler's soul to a dimension resembling "Dante's Inferno". With help from Jimaine and Doctor Strange, Kurt was exonerated.[661]
During Margali's time of weakness on The Winding Way, she was captured by the demon D'Spayre. After being rescued by Jimaine and Nightcrawler, Margali began her quest to take possession of a magical weapon called the Soulsword. Margali tricked her daughter once again by giving her a warning about a sorcerer called Gravemoss who was trying to kill all above him on The Winding Way. Amanda travelled to Muir Island and found that Gravemoss had possessed Kurt. After defeating Gravemoss, Amanda gave her mother the Soulsword and Margali used it to kill all the other sorcerers stationed above her. Amanda then joined Excalibur under the code name Daytripper.
Hoping to release a demon under London, Margali joined the U.K. branch of the Hellfire Club as the Red Queen and kidnapped the mutant hybrid Douglock. Her efforts were foiled by Excalibur and Margali disappeared only to be captured by Belasco. With her last bit of magic, she swapped souls with her daughter. Margali's soul, now in Amanda's body, took Nightcrawler to Limbo, where they were able to rescue her body and defeat Belasco. After the battle, Nightcrawler returned to the X-Men and Margali left Amanda to rule Limbo. Amanda then took the name Magik for herself.
Margali has reappeared recently to find Nightmare torturing her daughter. Nightmare was under control of a demon called Hive who was looking for the Soulsword. Nightcrawler was able to defeat Hive with the help of Margali, Jimaine and Nightmare. During the battle, Margali revealed that Nightcrawler possessed the Soulsword. Nightcrawler currently keeps the Soulsword inside his body.
Because of Margali's indiscriminate use of magic, she and Amanda parted ways on tense terms.[662] Following Nightcrawler's resurrection[663] and reunion with Amanda, Margali began to lust for the secrets of the afterlife. For this purpose, she engineered an attack by a quasi-robotic villain of her own creation called Trimega, pushing Nightcrawler into granting her sanctuary at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.[664] Once there, she attacked Storm and Beast, who had participated in Nightcrawler's recovery, converting their bodies into pictures of their memories. Stealing those memories relating to their experiences in the afterlife, she opened a portal into the Beyond. Intent on closing it from the other side, Nightcrawler and Amanda attempted to pass the gate, but Nightcrawler's voluntary exile from Heaven barred him from entry, stranding Amanda alone in the Void.[665]
Later, Margali returned as an adversary hired by Orchis, who had her cast a spell to transform mutants into monsters. This spell also affected Kurt, enabling Orchis to use him to kill several anti-mutant officials to frame mutantkind. It was during this time that Margali extracted a manifestation of Kurt's essence - his innate hope - into a Hopesword.[666] When Margali tried to prevent Legion from rescuing Kurt, she was stopped by Mother Righteous, who had made a pact with Margali in the past and now called upon the debt incurred with it by imprisoning Margali's essence in an energy sphere.[667]
Margali is an accomplished sorceress, equal of almost any sorcerer on Earth, occupying "The Winding Way's" highest position. The Winding Way grants mystic power, but that power ebbs and flows unpredictably, affecting the strength of Margali's magic. Margali can cast spells and transform herself. As the Red Queen she manifested her magic as a flaming sword, could extend her nails into long talons, and fire blasts of red arcane energy. Upon her first meeting of Doctor Strange, she summoned his Eye of Agamotto away from him against his will, a feat which made him consider that her powers could rival or dwarf his own.
Margali Szardos appears in the X-Men: Evolution episode "The Toad, the Witch and the Wardrobe", voiced by Teryl Rothery.
