Como muchos miembros originales de la Guardia Imperial, Scintilla es el análogo de un personaje de la Legión de Superhéroes de DC Comics : en su caso, Shrinking Violet . ^[59]

Midget fue uno de los primeros miembros de la Guardia Imperial que encontró el equipo de mutantes sobrehumanos conocidos como los X-Men que buscaban rescatar a la Princesa Lilandra de su hermano loco, el emperador D'Ken . Siguiendo las órdenes de su emperador, la Guardia se enfrentó a los X-Men en un planeta sin nombre del Imperio Shi'ar, y estaban a punto de ganar cuando la banda de piratas interestelares conocidos como los Starjammers llegaron para cambiar el rumbo de la batalla a favor de los X-Men. ^[60]

Mientras Beetle hace que Electro escriba una propuesta sobre cómo el Sindicato puede usar a Boomerang como ejemplo para el submundo criminal, Beetle se va mientras llama a Wilson Fisk para decirle que atraparon a Boomerang, mientras le dan la información sobre dónde puede ocurrir el intercambio.

Scramble ( Lionel Jeffries ), también conocido como Scramble the Mixed-Up Man , es un supervillano que aparece en los medios publicados por Marvel Comics. Específicamente, fue un enemigo de Alpha Flight , pero por un breve tiempo fue alternativamente su aliado. Scramble es el hermano de Madison Jeffries . Scramble apareció por primera vez en Alpha Flight #30 (febrero de 1986) y fue creado por Bill Mantlo y Mike Mignola .

Lionel Jeffries y su hermano mayor Madison eran mutantes: Madison con la capacidad de alterar superficies metálicas y Lionel capaz de manipular materia orgánica. Lionel utilizó su poder para convertirse en un cirujano exitoso, y más tarde, tanto él como Madison estuvieron entre los miles de canadienses que se alistaron en el Ejército de los Estados Unidos durante la Guerra de Vietnam . Madison, que detestaba ser un mutante, sirvió como mecánico de primera clase, mientras que Lionel ansiaba la oportunidad de usar sus poderes para el bien como médico. Sin embargo, la incapacidad de Lionel para resucitar a muchos de sus compañeros soldados después de que una explosión desmembrara a su escuadrón hizo que se volviera loco, y Madison tuvo que usar sus propios poderes para ayudar a contenerlo. ^[110]

En los años posteriores a la guerra, Madison hizo que su hermano delirante fuera internado en el Hospital General de Montreal , donde lo mantuvieron atado, antes de unirse él mismo al equipo de superhéroes canadiense Alpha Flight. Poco después, la líder de Alpha Flight, Heather Hudson, encontró a Lionel, descubriendo su existencia en el sistema informático Alphanex del equipo (solo después de eludir un bloqueo de seguridad en el archivo de Madison). Dado que Madison nunca informó a sus compañeros de equipo sobre la existencia de Lionel, Heather asumió que el hombre era un médico del hospital y viajó allí en un esfuerzo por determinar si era un mutante y, de ser así, reclutarlo para Alpha Flight. Cuando descubrió que Lionel era, de hecho, un paciente, se horrorizó aún más al contemplar lo que creía que era un terrible maltrato por parte de los médicos que lo sujetaban. Sin embargo, cuando Heather intentó presentarse como amiga de Madison con un apretón de manos, Lionel hizo contacto físico con ella y usó sus poderes para deformar brutalmente su cuerpo, liberándose en el proceso y tomando el control del hospital. Ahora se hacía llamar Scramble, el hombre mezclado, y pronto se dedicó a alterar al personal del hospital y a los pacientes para convertirlos en zombis horriblemente deformados (resucitando involuntariamente a Deadly Ernest, un enemigo fallecido de Alpha Flight, en el proceso). El loco Scramble se creía poco más que un médico que cuidaba a sus pacientes. Alpha Flight pronto llegó a la escena para rescatar a Heather (después de rastrear su camino a través de Alphanex) y terminó en una pelea con los mutantes. Pronto, los hermanos Jeffries se reunieron en la morgue del hospital, y allí Madison se dio cuenta por completo de la profundidad de la locura de Scramble, al mismo tiempo que creía que todavía había bondad en él. Los dos hermanos se enfrentaron, pero finalmente Madison manipuló a Scramble para que usara sus propios poderes de deformación orgánica en sí mismo, curando su cerebro de la psicosis. El Scramble "curado" revierte gran parte del daño que hizo, incluida la transformación de Heather, y jura volver a la medicina después de ser dado de alta del hospital. ^[110]

Scramble finalmente dirigió la Clínica Nueva Vida, una organización que ayudó médicamente a Alpha Flight en varias ocasiones, convirtiéndose en un fuerte aliado del equipo en el proceso. Sin embargo, gradualmente, su locura comenzó a regresar y comenzó una campaña secreta para crear una raza de superhumanos genéticos. Encontró un socio en Box (Roger Bochs), un miembro de Alpha Flight a su cuidado que también había estado sufriendo una psicosis severa. Box, vengativamente celoso, le pidió a Scramble que usara sus poderes para reparar sus piernas dañadas en un esfuerzo por asegurar el amor de su novia y compañera de equipo Aurora . Finalmente, se reveló que Scramble no usó el exceso de tejido graso de Bochs para reparar las piernas del hombre, sino que usó carne de cadáver manipulada. A pesar de esta extraña traición, la pareja demente aún unió fuerzas en la búsqueda de Scramble para conseguir su superraza prevista. Scramble y Bochs luego se fusionaron físicamente en una criatura horriblemente deformada conocida como Omega, y atacaron a Alpha Flight y sus aprendices Beta Flight cuando los equipos se dieron cuenta de sus planes, primero mutando a Madison y al propio asistente de laboratorio de Lionel, Whitman Knapp (lo que provocó que los poderes mutantes latentes de Knapp se activaran) y luego dominando al resto de los equipos. Madison se deforma y luego se pone la armadura de Box y la usa para luchar contra Omega, tiempo durante el cual la personalidad de Scramble se volvió dominante y mató a la mitad de Bochs después de que la personalidad de Bochs encontró la cordura e intentó terminar la batalla. Después de que Alpha Flight se recupera y derrota a Omega (gracias en gran parte a los esfuerzos del controlador mental de Beta Flight, Purple Girl ), Madison se dio cuenta de que la única forma de evitar un colapso futuro de su peligroso hermano era matarlo. Luego procedió a hacerlo, usando armamento conjurado de su armadura de Box. ^[111]

Señor Muerte y Señor Suerte son alias utilizados por varios personajes ficticios que aparecen en los cómics estadounidenses publicados por Marvel Comics.

El primer personaje en utilizar estos nombres fue Ramón García, quien nació en Hatillo, Puerto Rico . Ramón era el dueño de una cadena de casinos de juego y un criminal que se hacía llamar "Señor Suerte" (que significa "Mr. Luck" en inglés) en su papel de jefe de operaciones de juego criminal en Nueva York. Usaba el nombre "Señor Muerte" (que significa "Mr. Death" en inglés) cuando mataba a sus oponentes. Ramón envió hombres para matar a Frank Jenks y Luke Cage. ^[120] Muerte intentó matar a Luke Cage y asesinó a un dueño de casino rival. Luchó contra Cage, pero fue electrocutado por su propio dispositivo durante la batalla y murió. ^[121] Ramón reaparece sin explicación años después, siendo obligado a cometer crímenes por Lady Caterpillar, quien había secuestrado a su esposa, Rebecca Clyde. ^{[122] [123]}

Después de la muerte de Ramón, sus hermanos menores Jaime y Phillip se hicieron cargo de sus operaciones y se convirtieron en copropietarios de los casinos de juego de sus hermanos. Jaime se convirtió en "Señor Suerte" y Phillip en "Señor Muerte". Jaime era un ladrón profesional y Phillip era un asesino profesional.

Phillip, como el nuevo Señor Muerte, se hizo pasar por su hermano fallecido, Ramón. Junto a Tarántula , asesinó al agente del gobierno Ken Astor e intentó secuestrar un convoy militar, los Madbombs. Luchó contra el Capitán América. ^[124] Phillip usaba guantes que podían liberar veneno de araña en sus víctimas.

Los hermanos colocaron trampas mortales para Cage y Puño de Hierro, pero aun así fueron derrotados por ellos. ^[126]

Señor Muerte aparece en Los Vengadores: Los héroes más poderosos de la Tierra episodio "Robar un Hombre Hormiga".

Suvik Senyaka es el primer personaje de Sri Lanka que aparece en Marvel Comics, seguido por la Dra. Amara Perera. Senyaka apareció por primera vez en The Uncanny X-Men #300 y fue creado por Scott Lobdell y John Romita Jr.

Senyaka posee el poder de drenar la esencia bioeléctrica de otros al entrar en contacto físico. La energía vital que drena aumenta su fuerza natural, resistencia y reflejos, además de acelerar significativamente sus poderes de recuperación. Senyaka también puede utilizar el exceso de fuerza vital que drena para generar un par de látigos psiónicos compuestos de energía bioeléctrica. Estos látigos se mueven según su orden mental y pueden aumentar en gran medida la distancia de su capacidad de absorción. Los látigos también pueden conducir su energía bioeléctrica para encender grupos de nervios en un oponente y causarle dolor intenso o parálisis, así como quemar su carne.

Senyaka es un mutante reclutado por Fabian Cortez como miembro de un segundo grupo de Acólitos . ^[127] En su primera misión, este nuevo equipo de Acólitos atacó la escuela Nuestra Madre del Sagrado Corazón mientras buscaban a un niño mutante. ^[128] Durante el asalto, Senyaka disgustó a su señor Magneto después de herir gravemente a una enfermera humana con sus bobinas de energía y posteriormente fue asesinado por Magneto, quien aplastó la vida de Senyaka con sus propias bobinas. ^[129]

Sin embargo, Senyaka sobrevivió al extraer la energía vital de los agentes de la agencia internacional de aplicación de la ley conocida como SHIELD, que habían recuperado el cuerpo de Senyaka. Buscando vengarse de Magneto, Senyaka se propuso matar al capitán de mar Lee Forrester, un ex amante del autoproclamado maestro del magnetismo. Forrester se asoció con el soldado mutante del futuro llamado Cable , y Senyaka aparentemente murió una vez más en la batalla que siguió. ^[130]

Senyaka reapareció más tarde una vez más como miembro de una facción de Acólitos liderada por Exodus , que tiene la capacidad de devolver la vida a las personas. Los Acólitos participaron en un asalto a la montaña Wundagore en el país europeo de Transia , hogar del enigmático científico conocido como el Alto Evolucionario . El Evolucionario había desarrollado un poderoso compuesto mutagénico conocido como Isótopo-E, que los Acólitos codiciaban para sí mismos. ^[131]

Después de que Exodus fue derrotado, Senyaka se encontró entre las filas de los antiguos Acólitos que estaban ayudando a la rebelión de Carrion Cove contra el gobierno de Magneto de la nación insular de Genosha. Con el genocidio de la población de Genosha a manos de los robots gigantes cazadores de mutantes Centinelas controlados por Cassandra Nova , la gemela genética del profesor Charles Xavier, se creía que Senyaka estaba muerto. ^[132]

Pasó algún tiempo antes de que Senyaka regresara. A su regreso, cuya naturaleza aún se desconoce, se unió a las filas del nuevo equipo de Acólitos de Éxodo. Después de la batalla de los X-Men contra Hecatomb, Senyaka apareció en la diezmada nación insular de Cable, Providence, junto con los nuevos Merodeadores, Gambit y Sunfire , en un intento de reclamar los archivos de información de la isla, lo que permitiría el acceso a la futura tecnología de Cable. Mientras Gambit y Sunfire se enfrentaban a Cable, Senyaka luchó contra Deadpool y pareció ganar la partida antes de que Deadpool fuera teletransportado por la tecnología de Cable. ^[133]

Cuando Selene envía a su Círculo Interno para recuperar el cuchillo místico necesario para completar su ritual, Senyaka hiere mortalmente a varios mutantes con poderes relacionados con la muerte. Al principio, cuando ella intenta engañarlo apareciendo ante él como una niña, él le dice que deje de usar su disfraz porque matará por ella porque es diferente a los demás a los que ha servido. ^[134] Viajan al lugar de nacimiento de Selene, Roma y Nueva York, donde matan a los miembros de esa rama del Club del Fuego Infernal. Después de ser llevada a las ruinas de Genosha por Caliban, Selene declara que aquí es donde se convertirá en una diosa y lo renombra Necrosha. ^[135]

Cuando Selene envía a su Círculo Interno para recuperar el cuchillo místico necesario para completar su ritual, Senyaka hiere mortalmente a Meld, luego se une a Blink para atacar a Archangel , usando sus espirales para contenerlo, mientras Blink teletransporta sus alas en pedazos. Senyaka es atacado más tarde por Wolverine, quien le clava sus garras en el pecho. Senyaka no se inmuta por esto y declara que ya lo han matado antes. En la pelea final, Senyaka atrapa a Wolverine en sus espirales y lo estrella contra las paredes. X-23 lo libera cuando le corta el brazo a Senyaka. Wolverine se aprovecha de la situación y decapita a Senyaka. ^[136]

• Senyaka hace un cameo sin hablar en el episodio "Secretos, no enterrados por mucho tiempo" de X-Men: La serie animada como residente de la comunidad dominada por mutantes de Skull Mesa.
• Senyaka aparece en Wolverine y los X-Men como miembro de los Acólitos de Magneto y residente de Genosha .

Sepulcro (también conocido como Shadowoman ) es un superhéroe ficticio que aparece en los cómics estadounidenses publicados por Marvel Comics. Apareció por primera vez en Quasar #45 (abril de 1993) y fue creado por Mark Gruenwald y Grant Miehm .

Después de una infancia difícil, Jillian Marie Woods dejó su hogar para asistir a la Universidad de San Francisco . Mientras estaba allí, conoció al profesor de ocultismo Anthony Ludgate Druid, el superhéroe conocido como Doctor Druid . Descubrieron que existía un vínculo psíquico entre ellos. Druid sondeó la mente de Jillian y descubrió que su alma había habitado en un alquimista masculino en la corte del Rey Arturo en una vida pasada, y que el alquimista amaba a una princesa cuya alma se reencarnó como el Dr. Druid. El alquimista y la princesa fueron asesinados por el hermano de la princesa debido a su relación, y el alquimista juró que encontraría a la princesa nuevamente. Jillian y Druid, sorprendidos por estas revelaciones, se convirtieron en amantes. Algún tiempo después, Jillian liberó accidentalmente a un demonio, que la mató cuando ella y Druid estaban investigando artefactos místicos que Druid tomó del hechicero Magnus. El Dr. Druid, usando una estatua mística llamada la Novia de Slorioth, unió una parte del alma de Jillian a su sombra. Cuando Jillian despertó con sus nuevos poderes, Druid le dijo que eran el resultado de su exposición al demonio. ^{[ volumen y número necesarios ]}

Jillian tomó el nombre de Shadowoman y junto con otros héroes Jim Scully (como el segundo Blazing Skull) y N'Kantu, la Momia Viviente , se unieron a un equipo, liderado por el Dr. Druid llamado Shock Troop. Cuando Quagmire , usando su Darkforce, Neutron y la Presencia corrompieron la Tierra-148611 (Nuevo Universo), Shadowoman y Shock Troop ayudaron a Quasar a luchar contra los Anti Bodies hasta que la Guardia Imperial Shi'ar los destruyó. Más tarde, Doctor Strange convocó a Shock Troop para enfrentar una amenaza en el Nexus of All Realities . Cuando llegó el equipo, Quasar ya había neutralizado la amenaza. ^{[ volumen y número necesarios ]}

Después de que el Dr. Strange obligara al Dr. Druid a asumir la responsabilidad de organizar a los Defensores Secretos , Jillian, Luke Cage y Deadpool se reunieron para evitar que Malachi volviera a ensamblar la Piedra de Moebius. Se conocieron en el Museo de Arte de Chicago y se enfrentaron a Malachi mientras intentaba adquirir un fragmento de Piedra de Moebius unido a una espada. Para contener a los Defensores Secretos, Malachi animó una obra de arte para atacarlos y se fue con el fragmento. Proyectando su forma de sombra sobre ellos, Shadowoman hizo ^{que se disiparan} . Luego, Druid los teletransportó a su casa para buscar artefactos que pudieran ayudarlos contra Malachi. ^[137]

Se dispusieron a oponerse a Malachi en una tumba donde un cadáver sostenía el último fragmento de la Piedra de Moebius en un anillo en su dedo. A ellos se les unió Cody Fleisher, Cadáver, un adolescente que Malachi mató a quien Agamotto reanimó para que sirviera como su Jinete Pálido. Sin embargo, Malachi obtuvo el último fragmento y atrapó a Shadowoman y al Dr. Druid con sus hechizos. Shadowoman pudo atravesar sus ataduras y distrajo a Malachi mientras el Dr. Druid escapaba. Malachi derribó a Shadowoman, y cuando sobrevivió al golpe, se dio cuenta de que no debería haberlo hecho y que el Dr. Druid le había hecho algo. Malachi finalmente fue asesinado por Deadpool, pero luego Strange , el sirviente del Dr. Strange, intentó reclamar la Piedra de Moebius. Shadowoman se opuso a él, solo para ser derribado nuevamente, pero el Dr. Druid pudo destruir la piedra. ^[138]

Shadowoman, Cadáver, Dr. Druid y RG Mathieson se enfrentaron a Swarm , mientras intentaba controlar el supercolisionador Rand-Meachum. Jillian era inmune a Swarm debido a sus poderes y ayudó a liberar a Dr. Druid y Cadáver de las garras de la criatura. Ella y Cadáver ayudaron a contener a Swarm el tiempo suficiente para que Dr. Druid convenciera a Swarm de que se retirara. ^[139]

Al regresar de su encuentro con Swarm, Jillian le pidió al Dr. Druid que le explicara en qué se había convertido. Druid prometió hacerlo, pero la arrojó a la Novia de Slorioth. Dentro de la estatua, Jillian se encontró con el lado oscuro del alma del Dr. Druid y supo de él lo que el Dr. Druid le había hecho. Salió de la estatua furiosa y atacó al Dr. Druid, pero él la convenció de que solo había hecho lo que tenía que hacerse y que estaba listo para guiarla a ella y a Cadáver en una misión que los liberaría a todos de sus respectivas maldiciones. Ella estuvo de acuerdo, pero asumió el nuevo alias de Sepulcro para esa misión. El Dr. Druid luego los teletransportó a Starkesboro. ^{[ volumen y número necesarios ]}

Sepulchre y los demás se encontraron con Deathlok, Dagger y Drax , sus compañeros de equipo para esta misión. El Dr. Druid los condujo a las Puertas de la Perdición, donde se enfrentaría al demonio Slorioth. Sin embargo, cuando el Dr. Druid se fue, los Defensores originales ( Silver Surfer , Hulk y Sub-Mariner ) parecieron oponerse a los Defensores Secretos. Sepulchre se enfrentó a Silver Surfer en batalla, pero huyó de la escena cuando se dio cuenta de que estaba en una era en la que la barrera de Galactus no rodeaba la Tierra. Sin embargo, la conciencia de Surfer lo carcomía y regresó para enfrentarse a Sepulchre una vez más, pero ella lo encerró en un campo de oscuridad total. Justo en ese momento, su batalla se interrumpió cuando surgió el demonio Slorioth. ^[140]

Los dos equipos de Defensores lucharon contra Slorioth, pero Joshua Pryce se llevó a Sepulcro y Cadáver a un lado para enfrentar la verdadera amenaza: el Dr. Druid, corrompido por su lado oscuro. El Dr. Druid afirmó que todo lo que había hecho había sido por Jillian, luego atacó a sus antiguos aliados. Como el Dr. Druid había tomado el control de su alma, usó esa ventaja para hacer que se disolviera. Finalmente, Joshua Pryce trajo a Vishanti y al Tribunal Viviente , quienes expulsaron al Dr. Druid y Slorioth. Pryce luego fue a ayudar a Sepulcro, pero ella le rogó que la dejara morir. Él respondió: "¡Es mejor vivir, por siempre como Shadowoman... que morir como Sepulcro!", y la ayudó a resucitar. ^[141]

Sepulcro y Cadáver se reunieron con Pryce después y decidieron seguir caminos separados, pero señalaron que "si el mundo alguna vez necesita ser salvado... y todos los buenos superhéroes están ocupados", se volverían a encontrar. ^[141]

Algún tiempo después, Lindsay McCabe, una amiga de Jessica Drew , le pidió a Jillian que la ayudara a encontrar a su amiga desaparecida. A ellas se les unió Julia Carpenter , Spider-Woman, quien se había encontrado con el traje de Spider-Woman de Jessica moviéndose por sí solo. Jillian envió a las dos mujeres a la dimensión del Devorador del Vacío, donde Jessica estaba prisionera. Re-potenciada por su traje, Jessica escapó del Devorador del Vacío con Lindsay y Spider-Woman. Jillian cerró el portal al reino del Devorador del Vacío antes de que la criatura pudiera seguirlas de regreso. ^[142]

Jillian es vista hablando por teléfono con un representante de Roxxon Oil , acordando hablar con ellos sobre una oferta de trabajo que le habían hecho. ^[143] Se encuentra con los Thunderbolts en su camino a la entrevista y usa sus poderes para proteger a los civiles de Venom antes de unirse a Steel Spider y American Eagle para luchar contra el resto del equipo. Al lograr llegar a Roxxon Oil justo a tiempo, negocia una nueva vida fuera del suelo estadounidense. ^[144]

Sepulchre regresó a Estados Unidos, tras el colapso del régimen de Norman Osborn y su iniciativa Thunderbolts, y fue vista por última vez participando en una entrevista de trabajo para un trabajo de niñera con Jessica Jones y Luke Cage, pero se frustra cada vez más con la aparente mala pronunciación de su nombre, regañando repetidamente a Jones y Cage y volviendo a escribir su nombre una y otra vez, lo que resulta en su eventual rechazo. ^[145]

La manipulación de la energía de Darkforce le permite a Jillian volar, generar campos de oscuridad, desfasarse y fusionarse con sombras.

Juston Seyfert es un personaje que aparece en los cómics estadounidenses publicados por Marvel Comics.

Juston Seyfert es un adolescente humano común y corriente atormentado por los estudiantes de último año de la escuela secundaria Antigo en Wisconsin. Vive con su hermano menor Chris y su padre Peter (que opera un depósito de chatarra al que se encuentra su casa adyacente). Su madre Jen se fue de la casa hace años. Al ser pobre, Juston debe ser creativo para encontrar diversión y pasa los días jugando en el depósito de chatarra o construyendo robots con piezas de repuesto. Más tarde descubre, reconstruye y reprograma los restos de un Centinela que encontró. ^{[146] [147] [148] [149] [150] [ 151] [152] [153] [154] [155] [156] [157] [158]}

Después de Fear Itself , Juston y su Centinela aparecen como estudiantes en la renovada Academia de los Vengadores. ^{[159] [160]} El Centinela ahora cuenta con una cabina para llevar a Juston durante la batalla y ha adquirido las habilidades avanzadas de autorreparación de los Centinelas de la última generación. A pesar de que Juston esperaba ser un héroe junto con su Centinela, no pudo erradicar por completo el protocolo "Destruir a todos los mutantes" de su IA. En cambio, como solución alternativa, implantó una larga serie de directivas, cada una con una prioridad más alta que el programa original, como "Proteger a Juston y sus amigos", "Defender a la humanidad" y " Preservarse a sí mismo a menos que eso no contradiga las directivas anteriores ". ^[161]

Durante la historia de Avengers vs. X-Men , Emma Frost (que posee una fracción de la Fuerza Fénix ) llega para destruir el Centinela de Juston, viéndolo como una amenaza para la raza mutante. Se sacrifica para salvarlo antes de ser reconstruido por Quicksilver y Giant-Man . ^[162]

En Avengers Arena , Juston es secuestrado por Arcade y obligado a luchar en Murderworld. ^{[163] [164]} Queda paralizado después de que su Centinela se estrella y luego es asesinado por Apex, quien roba el Centinela. ^{[165] [166] [167]}

Shape es un personaje ficticio que aparece en los cómics estadounidenses publicados por Marvel Comics. El personaje fue creado por Mark Gruenwald y está basado vagamente en Plastic Man .

Shape (nombre real Raleigh Lund ) nació en Simak, Lowengard, en los Estados Unidos de la Tierra alternativa del Escuadrón Supremo , Tierra-712 . Aunque parece ser un hombre adulto, su desarrollo emocional e intelectual es comparable al de un niño. Originalmente, era miembro del criminal Instituto del Mal , los archienemigos del Escuadrón, aunque, al carecer de intenciones criminales sinceras, seguía principalmente el ejemplo del líder del equipo Ape-X , que había sido su amigo "durante años y años". Después de que el Instituto del Mal perdiera una batalla contra el Escuadrón, ^[168] todos los miembros del instituto se sometieron a una modificación de conducta, sus antecedentes penales fueron perdonados y todos se unieron al Escuadrón. ^[168] Ahora, como cruzado público y aventurero, Shape ayudó a supervisar la fabricación de cinturones de campo de fuerza. ^[169] También ayudó a sus compañeros superhéroes y cuidó a los tres hijos de Arcanna Jones, volviéndose especialmente cercano a Drusilla Jones. ^[170] Finalmente, la modificación de conducta fue revertida por los oponentes del Escuadrón, los Redentores , pero Shape, que nunca había sido un criminal de corazón en primer lugar, aún eligió ponerse del lado del Escuadrón contra Nighthawk y los Redentores. Después de la batalla, Shape ayudó a llevar a la embarazada Arcanna a la sala de partos después de que colapsara. ^[171]

Más tarde, Shape acompañó al Escuadrón en una lucha inútil contra el Nth Man . ^[172] Como resultado, Shape y el Escuadrón viajaron a la Tierra. Allí, Shape y Haywire fueron coaccionados mentalmente por la Mente Suprema para evitar que Quasar siguiera la nave espacial en la que la Mente Suprema había secuestrado al Escuadrón Supremo. ^[173]

Miriam Sharpe es un personaje ficticio que aparece en los cómics estadounidenses publicados por Marvel Comics.

Todo lo que se sabe sobre Sharpe antes de la historia de la Guerra Civil es que estaba casada; era residente de Stamford , Connecticut; y tenía un hijo pequeño llamado Damien que asistía a la escuela primaria de Stamford. Su hijo estaba en la escuela el día en que una pelea entre los Nuevos Guerreros y varios supervillanos destruyó gran parte de Stamford, incluida la escuela primaria. Después de la muerte de su hijo, Sharpe se convirtió en la voz más poderosa del emergente Movimiento Pro-Registro , exigiendo que el gobierno aprobara la Ley de Registro de Superhumanos (SHRA). En un servicio conmemorativo para las víctimas del ataque de Stamford, Sharpe tuvo una confrontación muy publicitada con Tony Stark donde acusó al benefactor de los Vengadores de estar allí solo para "jugar al héroe". Fue esta confrontación con Sharpe lo que convenció a Stark de defender también la Ley de Registro como Iron Man. Sin embargo, Stark de hecho ya había estado apoyando encubiertamente la Ley de Registro incluso antes del desastre de Stamford. Sharpe es ampliamente reconocida por los expertos como una brillante operadora política. En las semanas posteriores al desastre de Stamford, logró crear una base de apoyo que reuniría a cientos de personas para marchar hacia la Casa Blanca, influir en los superhumanos y, finalmente, convencer al Congreso y al presidente para que aprobaran la ley de registro de superhumanos. ^[174]

Sharpe apareció en el escenario en la conferencia de prensa donde Spider-Man se desenmascaró como uno de los primeros partidarios públicos. ^[175] Sharpe asistió al funeral de Bill Foster después de que un clon cyborg de Thor lo matara . Ella volvería a hablar con Iron Man, esta vez para reforzar el compromiso de Iron Man con la SHRA y al mismo tiempo comparar a "Thor" matando a Bill Foster con un policía matando a un matón. También le dio un modelo de Iron Man, el juguete favorito de su hijo, para recordarle a Iron Man por qué estaban luchando. ^[176] Wolverine también buscaría a Sharpe para contarle la historia de traer justicia a Nitro y al ex director ejecutivo de Damage Control Inc. Walter Declun (quien le dio a Nitro pastillas de hormona de crecimiento mutante para aumentar la energía que resultó en la destrucción de Stamford y le dio a Declum muchos contratos rentables para la reconstrucción). ^[177]

Stark le muestra una serie de jardines creados como un monumento a los niños perdidos en el incidente de Stamford. Es aquí donde Sharpe agradece tanto a Stark como a Mister Fantastic por respaldar su idea del registro de superhéroes a pesar de sus efectos secundarios negativos. ^[178] Sharpe se une a Stark después de la batalla culminante para discutir el futuro a raíz de la victoria de Pro-Registro. Mientras discuten los planes futuros, incluido el reciente ascenso de Stark a Director de SHIELD, Sharpe le dice a Stark que finalmente ha comenzado a creer en los superhéroes nuevamente, gracias a Stark. ^[179] A la luz de la relación pública entre Stark y Maya Hansen , la creadora del virus Extremis , a quien Sharpe considera una asesina en masa, Sharpe acudió al programa de televisión Viewpoint para atacar públicamente al gobierno por apoyar a Hansen. ^[180] Sharpe luego está presente para apoyar el nombramiento de Ultra Girl como directora de Junior Guardsmen, una rama juvenil de la Iniciativa, similar al programa JROTC . ^[181]

Durante la historia de " Fear Itself " de 2011, salva al sobreviviente Nuevo Guerrero Robbie Baldwin (Speedball), quien estuvo involucrado en el Incidente de Stamford, de una turba enojada en el momento en que Serpent y su Worthy estaban causando miedo y caos en todo el mundo. Durante este tiempo, ella perdonó a Speedball por lo que sucedió en Stamford. ^[182] Ella le dice a la turba que no cree que Baldwin haya matado a su hijo, que el villano al que atacó irresponsablemente lo hizo. Miriam llega a comprender que el mundo entero está bajo el ataque de una misteriosa fuerza de destrucción y que los recursos de Baldwin como asociado de los Vengadores y el entrenamiento de recuperación de desastres de Miriam pueden hacer el bien. Trabajan juntos para ayudar a las pequeñas ciudades a las que los Vengadores aún no han llegado. ^[183]

Miriam Sharpe aparece en Capitán América: Civil War , interpretada por Alfre Woodard . El hijo de esta versión fue asesinado durante la batalla de los Vengadores en Sokovia en Vengadores: La era de Ultrón . Ella culpa a los Vengadores por esto y se enfrenta a Tony Stark, lo que lo impulsa a apoyar los Acuerdos de Sokovia . ^[184]

Shathra es una criatura insectoide del Plano Astral y el tótem de la avispa araña , al igual que se rumorea que Spider-Man es un tótem de la araña. Ella es la cocreadora de la Red de la Vida y el Destino que se transformó en su estado actual después de que sus contribuciones no fueran reconocidas. ^{[185] [186] [187] [188] [189]}

Shathra posee habilidades físicas sobrehumanas y la capacidad de disparar aguijones paralizantes desde sus muñecas. Spider-Man luego adquirió esta habilidad (temporalmente) durante la historia de The Other .

Shatterax (Roco-Bai) fue creado por Len Kaminski y Paul Ryan e hizo su primera aparición en Iron Man #278 en marzo de 1992.

Roco-Bai era miembro de una nueva generación de soldados cyborg Kree , denominados tecno-guerreros, y luchó contra el superhéroe Iron Man durante la Guerra Kree-Shi'ar . ^[190] Y más tarde, se unió a Starforce . ^[191]

Durante la historia de Aniquilación: Conquista , él junto con Kree fueron infectados por la Falange , convirtiéndose en uno de sus seleccionados y participaron en el asalto contra Adam Warlock , sin embargo fallaron. ^[192]

Shinobi Shaw , también conocido como el Rey Negro del Club del Fuego Infernal , es un supervillano que aparece en los cómics estadounidenses publicados por Marvel Comics. El personaje suele representarse como un adversario de los X-Men y sus equipos afiliados. Creado por Chris Claremont , Jim Lee y Whilce Portacio , el personaje apareció por primera vez en X-Factor #67 (junio de 1991). Es hijo del ex Rey Negro Sebastian Shaw y es un mutante con la capacidad de controlar la densidad de su propio cuerpo.

Shinobi es el hijo adoptivo de Sebastian Shaw, el líder del Club Fuego Infernal. En su primera aparición, se revela que Shaw está involucrado en los Upstarts , un grupo formado por Siena Blaze , Fabian Cortez , Trevor Fitzroy y los miembros en prueba Andreas y Andrea Strucker (de Fenris ), quienes fueron manipulados por el Gamemaster y originalmente Selene para competir en un "juego" que involucraba matar mutantes prominentes y obtener puntos por cada muerte. Shinobi eligió a su propio padre como objetivo y se dispuso a asesinarlo, ya que Shinobi creció odiando a su padre por el trato que había recibido en sus manos. Primero, se involucró en una serie de maquinaciones financieras para arruinar a su padre, logró comprar Shaw Industries, la colección de empresas de su padre, debajo de sus narices. Después de llevarlo a la bancarrota, Shinobi confrontó audazmente a su padre en el chalet privado de Sebastian en Suiza y reveló cómo ahora era dueño de Shaw Industries. También se burló cruelmente de su padre al sugerir que tal vez el difunto Harry Leland, colega de Sebastian del Club Fuego Infernal, podría ser su verdadero padre, basándose en los poderes similares de Shinobi y Harry. Finalmente, Shinobi metió la mano en el pecho de Sebastian y le provocó un ataque cardíaco. El chalet fue destruido en una explosión, con Shinobi aparentemente como el único sobreviviente. ^[193] Shaw puede tomar brevemente el control del Club Fuego Infernal, asumiendo el manto del Rey Negro ^{[ volumen y número necesarios ]} . En sus primeros años, Shinobi a menudo se rodeaba de hombres y mujeres escasamente vestidos. ^[194]

La eliminación de su padre por parte de Shinobi lo puso por delante en la clasificación de los Upstarts, convirtiéndolo en el favorito en el juego. Shinobi disfrutó de su nueva riqueza y gloria, y sus diversos sirvientes atendieron todos sus caprichos en sus lujosos apartamentos en Nueva York y Tokio. Sin embargo, su rival Upstart, Trevor Fitzroy, codiciaba el primer puesto de los Upstarts para sí mismo. Con un nuevo y mejorado grupo de Centinelas, orquestó la masacre de la mayoría de los Reavers, Hellions y Emma Frost, la Reina Blanca del Club del Fuego Infernal. Fitzroy llevó a Frost sin vida a Shinobi como prueba y exigió que le entregara el anillo de Sebastian, que Shinobi usaba como símbolo de poder. Cuando Shinobi se negó a renunciar a él, Fitzroy cortó resueltamente el dedo de Shinobi que llevaba el anillo y se apoderó de él. Después de que Shinobi hizo que sus propios Centinelas le volvieran a colocar el dedo, persiguió a Fitzroy y lo localizó en su base secreta en un iceberg en el Círculo Polar Ártico. Los hombres de Shinobi capturaron a Fitzroy y Shinobi recuperó el anillo. También le informó alegremente a Fitzroy que el Gamesmaster, el coordinador del juego Upstarts, había dictaminado este altercado entre los dos hombres a favor de Shinobi. Al enterarse de que los X-Men también estaban en la base de Fitzroy en ese momento, Shinobi intentó promover sus logros en Upstarts y acabar con todo el equipo con algunas explosiones que organizó, sin embargo, fracasó. ^[195]

La posición de liderazgo de Shinobi entre los Upstarts duró poco. Su compañero competidor Fabian Cortez afirmó haber matado a Magneto y se convirtió en el favorito en el juego. Cuando Cortez objetó firmemente la inclusión de un humano, Graydon Creed , entre los Upstarts, Shinobi trató de calmarlo recordándole que los Upstarts se originaron como un juego de escapismo de diversión para niños ricos, aburridos y malcriados. ^[196] Durante otro de estos juegos, los Upstarts apuntan a los miembros sobrevivientes de los Nuevos Mutantes y los Hellions , pero son derrotados por las fuerzas combinadas de X-Force y los Nuevos Guerreros . ^[197] Casi al mismo tiempo, ansioso por devolver al Círculo Interno su antigua gloria, Shaw se acerca a Betsy Braddock y Warren Worthington , intentando convencerlos de que se conviertan en parte del Círculo Interno. Sin embargo, ambos X-Men se niegan. ^{[ volumen y número necesarios ] [198]} También intentó alistar a Storm bajo las órdenes de Candra como miembro, pero ella también se negó. ^[199] Todavía operando con el Club Fuego Infernal, organiza un intento de asesinato contra el editor del Daily Bugle , J. Jonah Jameson, pero su juego de poder es frustrado por Spider-Man y un puñado de X-Men. ^[200]

Después de enterarse de que su padre estaba vivo, Shinobi, presumiblemente por temor a represalias por su intento de asesinato, abandonó todas sus posiciones heredadas y regresó a un modo de vida más secreto, lo que le permitió a Sebastian tomar el control del Club Hellfire. Shinobi luego trabajó con Spiral y Mindmeld mientras experimentaban con los hermanos de Karma . Sin embargo, su asesino personal Clear-Cut lo traiciona y ayuda a X-Force a derrotarlo. ^[201]

Como resultado de las acciones de la Bruja Escarlata, casi todos los mutantes en todo el mundo fueron despojados de sus poderes. Se confirma que Shinobi es uno de los pocos mutantes que conservaron sus poderes después de la historia de " Discimation " de 2005. ^[202] Cuando Selene intentó ascender a la categoría de diosa, se reveló que Shinobi fue encontrado y asesinado por su padre en algún momento, ya que Selene lo resucitó con el virus tecnoorgánico y lo envió con Harry Leland para matar a su padre y Donald Pierce . ^[203] Selene fue finalmente derrotada y el destino de Shinobi quedó incierto. ^[204]

Más tarde se revela que Shinobi está vivo y reunió a los Upstarts nuevamente para matar a los Nasty Boys y atraer a los X-Men. Los Upstarts son neutralizados rápidamente y después de descubrir que los X-Men estaban trabajando sin saberlo para Emma Frost, Shinobi usó sus propios poderes mutantes para suicidarse atravesando su cabeza con la mano antes de murmurar que Emma Frost no lo atraparía. ^[205] En el relanzamiento de 2019 de los cómics de X-Men, Shinobi fue resucitado en Krakoa por The Five y puesto bajo el cuidado de su padre, quien lo nombró Obispo Negro de la Hellfire Trading Company. Shinobi desconocía las circunstancias de su muerte, y su padre le dijo que Emma Frost y Kate Pryde conspiraron para matarlo. ^[206] Después de que Kate Pride es asesinada y la traición de Shaw se revela a través de Lockheed, Emma llama inmediatamente a Callisto para que vaya tras Shinobi, quien estaba teniendo una reunión con Christian Frost, con quien estaba empezando a salir. ^[207] Con Cal como su guardaespaldas, Emma lee la mente de Shinobi y descubre que él no sabía las intenciones de su padre. Más tarde, Emma se burla de Sebastian al cuestionar su parentesco con Shinobi. Se revela que Shinobi es, de hecho, el hijo ilegítimo de Harry Leland. ^[208]

• Shinobi Shaw, entre otros miembros del Club Fuego Infernal, originalmente estaba planeado para aparecer en Dark Phoenix , pero finalmente fue eliminado de la película. ^[209]

SHOC es un personaje ficticio que aparece en los cómics estadounidenses publicados por Marvel Comics. Fue creado por Howard Mackie y John Romita Jr. en Spider-Man #76 (1997).

Todd Fields es el hijo del Dr. William Fields, quien trabajó para HYDRA en el proyecto SHOC (Conducto Ocultotécnico Subdimensional Basado en Humanos). La idea detrás de esto era usar una tecnología altamente evolucionada que se conecta a la dimensión misteriosa de la Fuerza Oscura . Fue convertida en una armadura por el Doctor William Fields, y tiene las capacidades de Capa , como derretir sombras y proyectar la energía de la Fuerza Oscura en la armadura para modificar su forma. El primer sujeto del Dr. Fields fue un hombre que llegaría a ser conocido como Loxias Crown , sin embargo, Crown tenía su propia agenda oculta y mató al Dr. Fields junto con muchos otros agentes de Hydra y estaba planeando usar la tecnología de SHOC para conquistar el mundo. Todd era un niño cuando presenció la muerte de su padre, lo que lo traumatizó mucho. Sin embargo, su padre le dejó a Todd componentes clave para que Todd rastreara y robara otra armadura SHOC y se vinculara con ella. Todd luego se convirtió en SHOC y juró vengarse de Crown por asesinar a su padre. ^[213]

Después de que Todd vio a su padre asesinado por agentes de Hydra, quedó devastado. Años después, como un hombre adulto, se convertiría en el nuevo SHOC y un héroe. Se asoció con Spider-Man varias veces y luchó contra Don Fortunato por el paradero de Crown, y fue dirigido a Hammerhead, quien le informó que el vampiro viviente Michael Morbius había sido capturado por la Dra. Andrea Janson. Hammerhead mató a la Dra. Andrea Janson, la amante de Crown, para atraerlo. Durante el enfrentamiento, Hammerhead resultó gravemente herido y SHOC descubrió una forma de derrotar a Crown, haciéndole drenar el poder de la nave de HYDRA, sobrecargándolo. Crown luego regresó como Hunger, un vampiro, y luchó contra Blade y Spider-Man. Sin embargo, SHOC estaba llegando a un acuerdo consigo mismo, ya que la armadura lo estaba matando, como lo hizo con Crown.

Mientras intentaba enderezar su vida, Todd fue emboscado por la Mano y fue asesinado, solo para ser resucitado, lavado de cerebro y usado como arma contra Wolverine en Wolverine: Enemy of the State . Afortunadamente, SHIELD pudo detener la influencia de Hydra y revertir el lavado de cerebro. Su memoria se está recuperando lentamente y se ha convertido en un héroe una vez más. ^[214]

La armadura SHOC con la que estaba vinculado le permitía acceder a armas de alta potencia que no requerían recargarse, ya que funcionaban con la Darkforce. Podía utilizar la combinación de tecnología y energías místicas para mejorar su fuerza, velocidad, volar (creando alas Darkforce), teletransportarse, fundirse en las sombras, crear garras y otras armas a partir de su cuerpo y escudo de energías Darkforce.

Claiming to have come from a wealthy and loving home, Australian-born Gregory Terraerton was at some point turned into a cyborg dubbed "Slayback" by the Weapon X Program. Slayback afterward became a mercenary and worked alongside fellow Weapon X members Deadpool, Garrison Kane, and Sluggo, as well as the mutant shapeshifter Copycat. Over time, Deadpool grew disgusted by Slayback's sociopathy and sadism and attempted to kill him by detonating his body. However, Slayback's healing factor enables him to regenerate over the next decade.^[277]

Obsessed with getting revenge on Deadpool, Slayback stole files pertaining to him from Department K and attempted to force Kane into revealing Deadpool's whereabouts. Next, Slayback, aware that Deadpool was among the mercenaries competing for Tolliver's inheritance, discerned that it was located in a Nepalese temple, where he captured Copycat.

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

Alec Thorne was born in London, England. As a mutant, he was contacted by James Hudson to be one of the first members to join Department H. Alec was also one of the first recruits to join The Flight, a precursor to Alpha Flight. In their first mission, they stopped the terrorist known as Egghead from launching a thermonuclear missile at the United States.^[285] Later, after Hudson divided the team into three smaller groups, Thorne (as Smart Alec) began training in Gamma Flight.^[286]

Sometime after Gamma Flight was disbanded, its members were contacted by Jerry Jaxon to join Omega Flight in his bid for vengeance against Hudson. During the fight between Omega Flight and Alpha Flight, Smart Alec was defeated when he looked in Shaman's magical medicine bag; the resulting mental shock shut down his mind. Shaman shrank him down to miniature size and placed him in the bag, until a way could be found to restore his mind.^[287]

His mind was eventually transferred into Box's robot body.^[288] Langkowski's mind eventually entered Thorne's tiny body in an attempt to return to the human world.

Moments after his birth, Soap was dropped on his head by a nurse. He was then abandoned at an orphanage in Dunmore, New Jersey, where he remained from 1971 to 1987. Soap was bullied by the staff and the other children, and during one unsuccessful attempt at running away he was inspired to become a police officer by the alcoholic detective who brought him back to the orphanage. Soap rose through the ranks of the NYPD to become a detective himself, despite all of his cases being botched by 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. Over the course of their investigation, Soap and Molly become friends, and remain so even after Molly shoots down Soap's attempt to pursue a romantic relationship with her by revealing that she is a lesbian.^{[296][297][298][299][300][301][302]} After killing Ma Gnucci and destroying her mansion, the Punisher confronts Soap and Molly, and offers them Ma's compromising photographs of the mayor and the police commissioner in exchange for all of the information that the NYPD has pertaining to the Vigilante Squad. With the photographs, Soap is able to blackmail his way into becoming the new commissioner; while Soap is basking in his good fortune, a bird defecates on his head.^[303]

Soap is demoted back to detective and once again assigned to the Punisher Task Force after pictures of him soliciting a prostitute surface. The dismayed Soap attempts suicide, but is stopped by the Punisher, who convinces Soap to become his informant within the NYPD.^[304][305] After Soap kills serial killer John "Bubba" Prong in self-defense, Soap is promoted to Lieutenant.^[306]

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

Soap leaves the NYPD, moves to Los Angeles and becomes a porn star. Up to that point, he had simply been unaware that he has large genitals.^[308][292]

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]

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".

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.

• Sublime appears in Marvel Anime: X-Men, voiced by Troy Baker. This version is a human with a mechanical eye and a chief associate of the U-Men who unknowingly works for Mastermind and wields robotic armor capable of using other combatants' powers against them.^[560]
• John Sublime appears as a boss in X-Men: Destiny, voiced by Joel Spence.^[561] This version is an associate of the U-Men who later transforms into a monster after using an "X-gene" serum to grant himself various mutant powers.

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.

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]

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]

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.

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 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.

• A variation of Captain Hydra appears in Iron Man and Captain America: Heroes United, as the brainwashed form of Steve Rogers.

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.
