Adamantium Kind: item Page: Adamantium Formal name: Adamantium Other aliases: False Metal Type: Material First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 66 Created by: Roy Thomas; Barry Windsor-Smith Reality: Earth-616; Earth-1610; Earth-41578; Earth-TRN1400; Earth-199999 Lead designer: Dr. Myron MacLain Current owner: Numerous (James Howlett mainly) Previous owners: Numerous Material: Steel Notes: When Shadowcat phases through Adamantium, it makes her sick. History: Adamantium is a virtually indestructible man-made steel alloy which does not occur in nature and whose exact chemical composition is a United States government classified secret. Adamantium is not an element: its properties do not qualify it for any known space on the Periodic Table of Elements. It is a virtually indestructible steel-based alloy that's a thousand times harder than diamond. A sufficient amount is capable of surviving multiple nuclear explosions or a blow from the most powerful superhuman with no damage. A blade of pure, primary Adamantium is capable of cutting almost any known substance depending upon the amount of force being exerted and the hardness of the material in question. Adamantium's molecular integrity makes for an extremely hard metal capable of drilling with greater effectiveness than Vibranium. Furthermore, after several years of additional testing and research, MacLain eventually released his sole supply of Adamantium to the US government who had the Avengers, notably Thor and Iron Man, unleash their full power against it, confirming it to be essentially indestructible.; Creating even a small amount of Adamantium is astronomically expensive, and only a few people know the complete formula. Adamantium is created by mixing certain chemical resins together. The exact composition of these resins is a closely guarded secret of the United States government. When these resins are mixed and kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, the resulting liquid can be cast or worked into a particular shape. After an eight minute 'flux period', the mixture sets and becomes solid regardless of temperature. Its molecular structure is extremely stable, and its shape can only be altered by precise molecular rearrangement. However, due to the sheer bonding strength of Adamantium, there are few known forces capable of altering its molecular structure.; There are very few substances known that are harder than Adamantium such as Dargonite, Mysterium, Adamantine, and Captain America's shield.; Some supervillains have taken to harvesting existing sources of Adamantium, hoping to utilize it through molecular rearrangement. Apocalypse harvested Adamantium from Sabretooth's skeleton, and Gambit in turn got Adamantium from Constrictor to save Sabretooth's life. Genesis harvested Adamantium from Cyber by destroying his body's organic matter, leaving only his Adamantium-laced skin.; Some Adamantium is made by Adametco.; ==Background Information==; Hercules, the demigod of Greek myth, wielded an enchanted golden mace, which (according to legend) was made of Adamantine and supposed to be indestructible. Inspired by this myth, Dr. Myron MacLain sought to create an indestructible alloy for the American side during World War II. At one point he fell asleep at his lab bench, and the metals he was working with somehow bonded together. This mysterious alloy--a combination of steel, Vibranium, and an unknown catalyst called Proto-Adamantium--created a material stronger than any yet known. However, without knowing the exact ingredients and their proportions, MacLain could never duplicate the process. The sample was worked into a disc, which became Captain America's Shield. MacLain's later attempts to duplicate the material included a formula without Vibranium, which resulted in the creation of True Adamantium, which is still weaker than Captain America's shield but is stronger than Vibranium.; Because True Adamantium is exceptionally difficult and expensive to create, various researchers found a more cost-effective way to duplicate it, at the expense of quality and durability. This alternate version, referred to as Secondary Adamantium, is considerably stronger than even titanium and is resistant against most assaults. However, assaults from sufficiently powerful weapons or beings can warp or break it.; ==Forms==; ===True Adamantium===; Also known as Primary Adamantium, this is an attempt at the recreation of Proto-Adamantium of Captain America's Shield. This is the Adamantium originally provided to Wolverine. It is nearly as strong or durable, but unlike Proto-Adamantium, Primary Adamantium is able to be reproduced. Only beings with godlike powers (such as Rune King Thor) or with strong magnetic powers (like Magneto) can manipulate Primary Adamantium. Otherwise, it is completely indestructible to all forms of attack. Being this strong, it is very rare and expensive to create or manipulate and is top secret in the US government, though it has been shared with some of their "allies". Once liquid Adamantium cools and hardens, it can never be manipulated again, although it can be destroyed by Antarctic Vibranium, which dissolves all metals. As well as cleaved by the Ebony Blade which was proven in a court case overseen by Councilor Nelson to dispute the authenticity of which after a phony was being passed around.; ===Secondary Adamantium===; This is much easier to work with, making it much more cost effective though at the expense of its strength. Secondary Adamantium also called Adamantium Steel, was created retroactively after too many instances of the supposedly-unbreakable metal Adamantium getting broken were written. Its resilience varies between showings; at one point someone with considerable superhuman strength, such as Thor, can break or warp it by fully exerting their strength, while at another showing its durability being such that beings of considerable might, like The Power Skrull or Frenzy, were unable to bend or break something as strong.; ===Adamantium Beta===; Wolverine's skeleton was originally reinforced with True Adamantium. His mutant Healing Factor not only allowed him to survive the process, but it also induced a molecular change in the metal. Adamantium Beta functions like True Adamantium but does not inhibit the biological processes of bone. This fact only became apparent after Magneto forcibly extracted the Adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton. On occasions when Wolverine lost his mutant regeneration ability, he was gradually poisoned by the Adamantium each time.; ===Adamantium (Earth-1610)===; In the Earth-1610 reality, Adamantium is still a highly durable alloy but it does not share the indestructible properties of its mainstream counterpart. For example, the Hulk was able to break an Adamantium needle, and also rip Wolverine's body in half who was bonded with Adamantium inside his skeleton. Another incident regarding Adamantium's durability involved Sabretooth; he possesses four Adamantium claws implanted within each forearm, through circumstances yet to be revealed, one of the claws implanted within his left forearm is broken. Lady Deathstrike, possessing an Adamantium laced skeleton, had her neck broken during a battle with Longshot when he used his ability to affect probability. Valkyrie and George Stark destroyed Captain America's Adamantium shield. The material is also highly effective in blocking telepathic probes, a trait that Adamantium in the Earth-616 reality does not possess. Aside from being highly durable and effective at blocking telepathy, nothing else about Ultimate Adamantium has been revealed. It isn't known when Adamantium was first created, who is responsible for its creation, and what the properties and processes required for making it are. As a result, it isn't even known if Ultimate Adamantium is created in the same way as the Earth-616 version.; ===Adamantium (Earth-691)===; On one occasion, Vance Astro of the 31st-century Guardians of the Galaxy of Earth-691 was wounded in a battle with the warlike alien Stark. The alloy suit that protected Astro (Earth's first interstellar astronaut) during his trip to Alpha Centauri was damaged. His teammates repaired the damage by applying a flexible Adamantium cast to his arm and chest. The most likely conclusion is that Earth-691 found a way to create Adamantium cheaply and quickly and in a mesh or flexible form.; ===Adamantheants (Earth-9047)===; In the Humorverse, Adamantium is sometimes referred as "Adam Ant Steel", "Adamantheants," or Adam-antium. It is indestructible and was used for the skeleton of Woof'r'eam.; ===Adamantium (Earth-41578)===; Much like his Earth-616 counterpart, Wolverine has had Adamantium bonded to his skeleton. However, the history of the material differs greatly from Earth-616. In this reality, Adamantium appears to be at least partially composed of an unknown element from a meteor that crash landed in Africa. William Stryker gathered the material and through unknown means created Adamantium.; The Adamantium itself appears to function like Earth-616 Adamantium. It appears to be mostly indestructible, and must be superheated in order to be malleable, but appears to permanently solidify within seconds of being removed from heat. Also, due to its sheer density and molecular structure, adamantium appears to retain its solid form.; This type of Adamantium appears to lose its durability when exposed to extreme heat, as the Silver Samurai was able to cut Wolverine's claws off with a super-heated Adamantium katana, though this make sense as it's a call back to Stryker explaining that Adamantium is malleable when super heated but becomes permanently indestructible when cooled. This suggests that Adamantium is only indestructible when at room temperature, however, Adamantium will still remain solid even when heated to become white-hot, as Stryker also stated that Adamantium must be kept heated in its liquid state, otherwise it becomes impossible to alter its molecular structure through any human means or with any other man-made material. Also, in order to damage Adamantium at high temperatures, another object made out of Adamantium is required.; Like his mainstream counterpart, Magneto of Earth-41578 is able to affect Adamantium with his magnetic abilities and as used this to immobilize Wolverine a number of times. Unlike his mainstream counterpart, Magneto has never attempted to rip the Adamantium from Wolverine's bones. So, it is unknown if Magneto can reshape it like he could other metals.; Like its Earth-616 counterpart, Earth-41578 Adamantium is apparently expensive to make. General Munson told William Stryker that he had spent $500 million to bond the metal to Wolverine's skeleton and the Silver Samurai had bankrupted Yashida Industries amassing Adamantium.; ===Adamantium (Earth-17315)===; Much like in 41578, Logan's bones were mended with adamantium in the past but was slowly poisoning him, slowing his healing down. But like in 1610, it apparently isn't completely indestructible as Deadpool broke one adamantium covered rib off with ease.; ===Adamantium (Earth-199999)===; After successfully averting Tiamut the Communicator's Emergence, officials were sent to explore the mass now named Celestial Island which they discovered Adamantium. Thaddeus Ross wanted to distribute the element in treaty deals rather than causing conflict over it.; ===Adamantium (Unknown Realities)===; ====Pruned Lady Deathstrike====; In an alternate reality, a variant of Lady Deathstrike was bonded to adamantium similar to her Earth-41578 variant, turning her nail claws into adamantium claws. She was eventually pruned to the Void by the Time Variance Authority, where she ended up working for Cassandra Nova and used her claws to fight the Resistance.; ====Wolverine Peggy Carter====; In an alternate reality, a variant of Peggy Carter as the Wolverine, was bonded to adamantium, making her entire skeleton including claws into adamantium.; ====Weapon X Thanos====; In an alternate reality, a variant of Thanos underwent project Weapon X where his skeleton including his claws were bonded to adamantium.; ===Adamantium Allotropes===; Serafina claims that Adamantium has thirteen allotropes, all of which are "unstable, and short-lived, but virulently poisonous". She threw a small device that clamped onto Wolverine's claws and made them glow green, claiming that it was "Adamantium nine". This caused Wolverine to become stricken incoherent and collapse.; ===Carbonadium===; Carbonadium is a resilient, unstable metal that is vastly stronger than steel, but more flexible than Adamantium. Carbonadium is, in fact, both a more malleable and cheaper version of Adamantium. Due to its malleability, Carbonadium is considerably less durable than True Adamantium though for all practical purposes. Carbonadium is nearly indestructible. Omega Red (an adversary of The X-Men, primarily Wolverine) has carbonadium coils which allow him to drain life energies.; ==Applications==; See also: Adamantium: Wolverine's claws and skeleton (best known for); See also: Adamantium: Lord Dark Wind, is the father of Lady Deathstrike, is the founder of the Adamantium Bonding Process; See also: Adamantium: Dr. Cornelius and the Weapon X Program frequently made use of an incomplete iteration of the Adamantium Bonding Process on many of its agents and test subjects; See also: Adamantium: Sabretooth's claws and skeleton (occasionally); See also: Adamantium: Daken's sheaths over his Muramasa Claw (formerly) and adamantium katanas; See also: Adamantium: Battlestar's shield; See also: Adamantium: M.O.D.O.K's adamantium body (formerly); See also: Adamantium: Bullseye's spinal column/partial skeleton; See also: Adamantium: "The Captain's" shield, used by Steve Rogers and provided by Tony Stark; See also: Adamantium: Ultimate Captain America's shield; See also: Adamantium: Baron Helmut Zemo's Swords; See also: Adamantium: Outer plating of several Ultron bodies; See also: Adamantium: Hawkeye's Trick Arrows (occasionally); See also: Adamantium: The Constrictor's coils (formerly); See also: Adamantium: A set of Doctor Octopus's arms (destroyed by molecular rearrangement); See also: Adamantium: Lady Deathstrike's claws and skeleton; See also: Adamantium: Citizen V's swords; See also: Adamantium: The cyborg body of Donald Pierce (formerly); See also: Adamantium: Adamantium reserves belonging to Khyber; See also: Adamantium: Cyber's skin and claws, later harvested by Genesis, reacquired later still, then harvested by Ogun; See also: Adamantium: TESS-One's outer skin layer; See also: Adamantium: The robotic mantle of Alkhema; See also: Adamantium: Citadel's skin; See also: Adamantium: Shuri's Panther Habit claws; See also: Adamantium: Strikeforce X's skeletal structure; See also: Adamantium: Underworld's bullets; See also: Adamantium: Romulus's skeleton, nails, and claw implants; See also: Adamantium: Deathlok's skeleton, cartilage, muscle fibers & helmet carapace; See also: Adamantium: X-23's claws.; See also: Adamantium: Ricadonna's custom made Scimitar; See also: Adamantium: Moon Knight's staff and equipment (possibly formerly); See also: Adamantium: Maverick's knife and ammo (formerly); See also: Adamantium: Sabreclaw's nail sheaths; See also: Adamantium: The armor of Omega Red (possibly); See also: Adamantium: Bucky's Captain America's Uniform; See also: Adamantium: Tiger Shark's Teeth; See also: Adamantium: Adamantium Odachi wielded by vampire hunter Blade; See also: Adamantium: Surgical chainsaw implemented by a Doctor Doombot.; See also: Adamantium: Doc Green's Nanite Gamma Cure; See also: Adamantium: Bullets used by Ancient Order of the Shield agents; See also: Adamantium: Dog Logan's mace; See also: Adamantium: Kraven the Hunter's hunting knife; See also: Adamantium: Iron Man's weapons (occasionally); See also: Adamantium: The vault for the Book of the Iron Fist.; See also: Adamantium: 2nd Constrictor's coils; See also: Adamantium: Moira Kinross' best syringes; See also: Adamantium: Hammerhead's upper skeleton was replaced by a cybernetic one made of adamantium, performed on Mr. Negative's orders; See also: Adamantium: Solem's skin is made of a biological derivative; See also: Adamantium: Logan's Adamantium Armor; See also: Adamantium: Time Variance Authority's Deadpool katanas; See also: Adamantium: Tiamut's petrified corpse; See also: Adamantium: Copperhead's daggers; See also: Adamantium: Sidewinder's throwing knives and tomahawk ============================================================ Absorbo-Belt Kind: item Page: Absorbo-Belt Formal name: Absorbo-Belt Type: Belt First appearance: Captain America Vol 1 217 Created by: Roy Thomas; Don Glut; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: The Vamp; S.H.I.E.L.D. History: As a S.H.I.E.L.D. Super-Agent, the Vamp wore an absorbo-belt that, through unknown means, enabled her to duplicate within herself the physical strength and athletic skills of a person within a certain but unrevealed radius of herself for a brief period of time, the length of which has not been revealed. There is no evidence that the absorbo-belt could enable the Vamp to gain superhuman strength, other kinds of superhuman abilities, or non-physical abilities.; It is known that the absorbo-belt could not duplicate the superhuman strength of the Hulk. ============================================================ Airstrike Armor Kind: item Page: Airstrike Armor Formal name: Airstrike Armor Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Soviet Super Soldiers Vol 1 1 Created by: Fabian Nicieza; Angel Medina; Javier Saltares Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Dimitri Bukharin Properties: The armor's full capabilities were unknown. The suit was highly durable. Its maximum flight speed was unknown. Its sensor array was unknown.; Primary weapons from the armor seemed to be a laser and machine guns mounted in the arm. Missiles could be placed on its shoulders. History: After Dimitri Bukharin was removed from duty as the Crimson Dynamo, he was reassigned to use the Airstrike armor by the People's Protectorate also that was used as his new codename.; Bukharin retired his role as Airstrike (eventually returning as Crimson Dynamo). ============================================================ Adhesive X Kind: item Page: Adhesive X Formal name: Adhesive X Type: Material First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 6 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: German Lead designer: Heinrich Zemo Additional designers: Helut Zemo Place of creation: Nazi Germany Previous owners: Baron Heinrich Zemo, Baron Helmut Zemo Notes: The Adhesive can only be removed by one of the Trapster's (Paste Pot Pete) chemical pastes.; The only one to have removed Adhesive X from his body forcibly without injury is the Incredible Hulk. History: Adhesive X was a chemical created by Nazi scientist Baron Zemo, that could bond with anything, and was practically undissolvable. Ironically, the Zemo family has had a great deal of frustration with their creation as Heinrich Zemo had his distinctive mask permanently attached to his face by Adhesive X. As a result, Zemo became consumed with a violent, insane hatred for Captain America and mankind in general. Likewise his son, Helmut Zemo, fell into a boiling vat of Adhesive X and his face was grotesquely disfigured.; Despite its potency, Paste-Pot Pete developed a solution that would successfully dissolve Adhesive X. For years Helmut Zemo has lauded Adhesive X as one of his family's greatest inventions. ============================================================ Absorbing Man's Ball and Chain Kind: item Page: Absorbing Man's Ball and Chain Formal name: Absorbing Man's Ball and Chain Type: Unique Flail First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 114 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Additional designers: Loki Laufeyson Current owner: Absorbing Man Properties: The ball and chain was being carried by Absorbing Man during his original transformation. Thus it possesses the following capabilities:; Omni-morph Duplication: Whilst being held by Absorbing Man, the ball and chain is able to duplicate at will the physical properties of anything that Absorbing Man touches or what touches him. History: The Absorbing Man was carrying this ball and chain at the time of his original transformation. Thus the ball and chain also magically possesses the same properties of transformation as his body, providing he is in contact with it.; It has been his go-to weapon for years. After his death, a funeral was held and various objects were buried in an empty casket, including his ball and chain. ============================================================ 30.06 double-action Guglielmo reamed free-fire blowback assault rifle with Kirgiz-Pittman deflecter silencer (Earth-9047) Kind: item Page: 30.06 double-action Guglielmo reamed free-fire blowback assault rifle with Kirgiz-Pittman deflecter silencer Formal name: 30.06 double-action Guglielmo reamed free-fire blowback assault rifle with Kirgiz-Pittman deflecter silencer Type: Firearm First appearance: What The--?!

Vaughan; Adrian Alphona Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Magical tomes of the Pride chronicling their history and future Lead designer: Gibborim Additional designers: The Pride Place of creation: Marine Vivarium, beneath the Pacific Ocean near Los Angeles, California Current owner: Lotus Previous owners: Chase Stein; The New Pride; Hunter; Stretch; Oscar; Alex Wilder; Runaways; The Pride; Dale Yorkes; Stacey Yorkes; Geoffrey Wilder; Catherine Wilder; Frank Dean; Leslie Dean; Alice Hayes; Gene Hayes; Robert Minoru; Tina Minoru; Janet Stein; Victor Stein Trivia: Doctor Strange appears to have a copy of the Abstract or some type of access to its text.; Only two of six copies of the Abstract are currently accounted for: the Yorkes copy buried in the Marine Vivarium and the Steins' copy last seen with Lotus. The locations of Minorus, Hayes, Wilders, and Deans' Abstract copies are unknown, but may be in the custody of the authorities (like the FBI or the Avengers).; Due to Catherine Wilder's many boobytraps, the FBI was never able to enter the Wilder Estate meaning that their copy of the Abstract may still be hidden in their subbasement lair.; The Abstract bares six-toed footprint of the Gibborim on its cover. History: To prepare the Earth for the coming, the Gibborim made a pact with six mortal couples granting them immense power for 25 years in exchange of a sacrificial human soul every year. The six couples would become the Pride, and each of the couples received a copy of the Abstract, their sacred text and organizational guide.; A year before running away, Alex Wilder witnessed his parents and the other members of the Pride murder an adolescent girl during the Rite of Blood. Alex spent the next several nights sneaking into his parents' lair to read the Wilders' copy of the Abstract and learn about the Pride's bargain with the Gibborim. One night, Alex was present when the Deans and Hayes broke in and tampered with the Wilders' Abstract as part of their plan to betray the other members of the Pride and claim the Gibborim's reward for themselves.; A year later, on the evening of the Rite of Blood, Alex led the others to witness the sacrifice of Destiny Gonzales. After seeing their parents murder a young woman, Alex, Nico, Chase, Karolina, and Gert agreed to collect evidence to turn their parents into the authorities. While searching for the body of the Pride's victim in the Yorkes' basement, the Runaways instead stumbled onto the Yorkes copy of the Abstract and a dinosaur. Lacking the decoder ring to read the book, the group goes on the run again until they eventually confront their parents at the Hayes' home. In the aftermath of the battle, Alex was able to take the decoder ring from Mrs. Dean. and next travelled to the Deans' home.; After the Runaways settled into the Hostel, Alex Wilder spend the days and weeks trying to decipher the Abstract. Once he had decode the story of the Pride, Alex shared it with the other Runaways. Soon after learning about the origins of the Pride, Lieutenant Flores and the LAPD found the Runaways and destroyed the Hostel.; With the Rite of Thunder approaching, the Runaways used the Abstract to followed their parents into the Marine Vivarium. After confronting their parents and learning about Alex's true motives, the Runaways escaped the collapsing Marine Vivarium abroad the Leapfrog. The Yorkes copy of the Abstract seems to have been left in ruins of the Marine Vivarium.; Following the destruction of the Marine Vivarium and the revelation of the Pride, most of the Pride's property and paraphernalia was seize by the Avengers and the FBI. However, several secret safe houses were not initially found.; Month after the death of the Pride, a New Pride was formed by Alex's old gaming friends, Hunter, Stretch, Lotus, and Oscar. Using the Steins' Abstract, quartet was able to summon a young Geoffrey Wilder from the past by accidentally sacrificing Oscar. Wilder led the others to believe they would save the world while he secretly plotted with the Gibborim to resurrect his family and destroy the world. With his new Pride, Wilder kidnapped Molly Hayes with plans to sacrifice her at Griffith Observatory. Luckily the Runaways were able to save her, but Gert was seemingly killed during the confrontation.; Determined to bring Gert back from the dead, Chase took the ring and Abstract from Griffith Observatory and left the Runaways. On his eighteenth birthday, Chase found Lotus and forced her to help him find the Gibborim. However, after finding the Gibborim, Chase learned that he could not sacrifice himself to bring back Gert because his soul is not innocent. Disappointed, Chase released Lotus, demanding that she burn the Abstract after covertly stealing a few pages for himself.; clear ============================================================ Absorba-Bomb Kind: item Page: Absorba-Bomb Formal name: Absorba-Bomb Type: Unique Energy Weapon First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 54 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Inhumans Place of creation: Attilan Current owner: Black Bolt History: Harnessing power from the Cyclo-Electronic Chamber to destroy the barrier which was surrounding Attilan, Black Bolt powered the great Absorba-Bomb with the energy generated by his own body and then screamed from the first time since the catastrophe.; It was later acknowledged that Black Bolt screamed to deactivate the bomb and counter its effects, fearing for the lives of his fellow Inhumans. ============================================================ Activation Chamber Kind: item Page: Activation Chamber Formal name: Activation Chamber Other aliases: Reactivation Chamber; Resurrection Chamber; Resurrection Engines; Resurrection Machine; Machines of Resurrection Type: Technology First appearance: New Eternals: Apocalypse Now Vol 1 1 Created by: Karl Bollers; Mike Higgins; Joe Bennett Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Eternal Additional designers: Phastos Current owner: Eternals Notes: According to Eternals Vol 5 7, one of the times when some Eternals learned the truth about the cost of their resurrections was 20,000 years ago. At that time, swift action was not taken because they could only harm themselves with their knowledge. History: Located in Antarctica, within the Eternal base known as the Exclusion, the Activation Chamber has been used by the Eternals to revive their fallen since their race began one million years ago. It and the Machine are known to have been operational while the First Host of the Celestials was still on Earth. At that time, the resurrection machines would sacrifice the lives of Deviants whenever Eternals had to be resurrected but, as the human population grew, the sacrifices became humans instead.; The Resurrection Machine was especially important after the Ascension of Kronos to Cosmic Potential occurred 500,000 years ago and destroyed the first Eternal city, Titanos, nearly destroyed the Machine, and killed all of the Eternals in the initial explosion. All of the Eternals had to be killed and reborn in the Chamber several more times before they finally managed to stabilize the anomaly generated by the explosion.; At some point after the Great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, Sprite began meddling with the memories of the other Eternals and, among other things, made them forget the existence of the Activation Chamber.; Still, eventually, Phastos intuitively re-created a smaller version of the Chamber to revive Virako, although soon it didn't matter anymore, as Sprite wiped the memories of the Eternals and made them all believe they were normal humans.; After Sprite was dealt with, the Eternals regained all their memories, and the use of the Chamber was resumed as usual.; When the Eternals discovered the truth about why they had been created, went mad and killed themselves and/or each other, the Machine used the Activation Chamber to restore them to life. Soon afterwards, it was revealed that Zuras had been murdered and the Machines of Resurrection were inoperative. Eventually, after learning that Phastos had been the one who had tried to stop the Machine, Ikaris managed, at the cost of his life, to reactivate the Machine's core systems which brought the Resurrection Engines back online. Ikaris was then the first to be resurrected, followed by Zuras.; As Ikaris was being resurrected, Phastos revealed that he had found out about the sacrifices, and Sersi admitted that she had known it all along. A small group of Eternals then approached Zuras, who promised that the matter would be discussed in the upcoming Uni-Mind, but Sersi warned them that they had tried this several times before and had been mindwiped every time. ============================================================ AD-45 Riotbots Kind: item Page: AD-45 Riotbots Formal name: AD-45 Riotbots Other aliases: AD-45 Riot Bots; AD-45 Riot-Bots Type: Robot First appearance: Captain America Vol 3 13 Created by: Mark Waid; Dougie Braithwaite Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: A.I.M. scientists Current owner: A.I.M.

Adamantine can withstand direct blows from Mjolnir, deflect massive blasts of concussive energy, and repel close range bullets.; Density Manipulation: The Adamantine can so dense and thick that super-powered individuals who can go intangible find it extremely difficult to phase through it. Despite this, the metal can also be so light it would barely affects its user's speed, and even increase it.; Psychic Immunity: Adamantine can provide some resistance to telepathic attacks. Howlett's adamantine-laced skull protected him from the psychic attacks of several powerful telepaths (including Savior).; Energy Disruption and Energy Absorption: Adamantine is able to redirect and disrupt magic and energy, as well as being able to hurt psionic and energy based beings.; Possession: The Adamantine was able to take possession of people once it entered their bodies. Most of the individuals it controlled were left in a mostly mindless state, though it could choose a specific person to be its avatar, gaining the Adamantine's full power without sacrificing their free will, as long as their goal aligned with the metal's.; Malleable Body: The Adamantine can shape itself to whatever form it prefers, forming numerous tendrils to attack and esnare its victims, and usually takes a humanoid form that resembles a combination of several Olympian artifacts made of its matter. It could also form a set of claws exactly like Wolverine which were much sharper and durable than his.; Earth Manipulation: The Adamantine could manipulate the earth to form a sinkhole beneath the ground.; Superhuman Strength: The Adamantine had such immense strength that not even Hercules could match.; Metal Manipulation: By assimilating Adamantium along with any other type of metal, the Adamantine could take control of people and weapons they're comprised.; Gold Transmutation: By assimilating metals like Adamantium, it converted them into more of its matter which allowed it to grow. However, if the converted portions were cut off from the main body, the metal would revert to its prior state.; Immortality: The Adamantine is unaging and indestructible. Although it can be banished and forced into slumber, it can never really perish, and would inevitably reawaken years later.; ==Applications==; Adamantine has been used to create many notable items including:; Aegis; Cestus of Venus; Gates of Pluto; Golden Mace of Hercules; Hephaestus' automatons; Helm of Hades; Howlett's skeleton and claws; Midnight Axe of Pluto; Trident of Neptune; Shield of Perseus; Sword of Peleus; Talaria Trivia: Adamantium was named after Adamantine. History: The Adamantine wasn't only the legendary Olympian metal for which Adamantium was named after, it was the Spirit of Metal itself born in the core of the Earth. It was in fact the living embodiment of the concept of the very metal itself given form. Originally without a purpose, it was discovered by the Olympians in their early history, and finally gave the metal a purpose for its existence by using it for forging various weapons of war like Hercules' Golden Mace and the Helm of Hades.; During a fight between Wolverine and Cyber, a mass of Adamantine was accidentally awakened. Being sentient, the ancient metal saw how Adamantium was so widely spread, and feeling outraged at this new metal, which it saw as a false pretender, being used by superhumans it decided to replace it. The Adamantine planned to take over those who had been using Adamantium, starting with Cyber and replacing his metal parts with itself. It managed to spread itself to Lady Deathstrike and Constrictor who it mind-controlled into subduing Wolverine, allowing it to enter his body and replace his Adamantium skeleton with its mass.; The Adamantine failed to possess and transform Wolverine when he was rescued by the Wendigo. The Adamantine had Cyber attack an Adamantium factory in the United States and when Wolverine confronted him, it revealed its plans to destroy all traces of Adamantium to him. The Adamantine possessed Donald Pierce and had him and its three other hosts attack another factory in Arizona. When the attack drew in the Wolverines, Romulus revealed himself to them. Hoping to prove himself as worthy of being the Adamantine's regent and champion by killing Wolverine, Romulus absorbed the Adamantine from the others to empower himself. Despite this, Wolverine defeated Romulus, causing the Adamantine to reject him. The Adamantine took on a human form and after briefly fighting Wolverine, it promised to finish their contest and disappeared with the unconscious Romulus.; By using Romulus as a host, and champion-guide, the Adamantine initially searched for worthy warriors to test itself. But was unsatisfied with Romulus' findings, it chose to look for a new champion to kill Wolverine with. Still, it gave him another chance. Again it found that its champion-guide failed when it easily killed a group of mercenaries Romulus said were the best. So it decreed that Romulus' time on Earth was up, and it will have the Godling take up his station. But still wanting to kill the best of them, it learned from the last mercenary that the best was Silver Sable, and she was currently cohabiting with Wolverine in Canada. To the Adamantine, this was fate singing clearly to it. The Adamantine possessed its godling Hercules, and had him kill Romulus by ripping him in half and used his remains to lure Wolverine. The Adamantine-possessed Hercules and Wolverine engaged in a destructive battle until they were magically restrained by Athena. After Athena freed Hercules from its influence, it proceeded to attack a weapons manufacturing facility in the South China Sea until Wolverine and Hercules arrived to confront it. It overwhelmed both of them and shattered Wolverine's adamantium claws on his right hand before manifesting a set of claws on its own body to impale Wolverine. The Adamintine continued its brutal assault until it pinned Wolverine down with a trident and attempted once again to take over Wolverine's mind while destroying the weapons on the island. Hercules knocked it away with his Golden Mace, as its previous assault on him magically repaired it, but he was still no match for the Adamantine. The Savage Champaions, multiverse variants of Wolverine who hunted down Adamantine from their respective worlds, suddenly appeared to rescue their fellow variant. To the Adamantine's horror, the Savage Champions managed to damage it with their weapons and felt pain for the first time. The Adamatine was weakened enough for Wolverine to finish it off with his remaining claws. ============================================================ Aegis (Breastplate) Kind: item Page: Aegis (Breastplate) Formal name: Aegis Type: Armor First appearance: New Warriors Vol 2 0 Created by: Jay Faerber; Steve Scott Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Olympian; Magical Lead designer: Hephaestus Additional designers: Zeus Place of creation: Olympus Place of destruction: Continuum dimension Previous owners: Athena; Zeus; Trey Rollins; Typhon Material: Adamantine (Metal) Model: Unique Properties: The Aegis protects its wearer either by absorbing energy-based attacks or by forming a protective force field. Trey Rollins has been able to reflect energy in a desired direction. The Aegis has been able to withstand blows from the god Hercules and withstand Zeus' thunderbolts.; As resilient as the Aegis is, it does have limitations. It apparently doesn't protect the user from self-inflicted harm as Rollins died after jumping off from a high location while wearing the breastplate. It also appears to not hold up well against enchanted weapons like Hercules' Golden Mace. History: The Aegis is an enchanted breastplate belonging to the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, Athena, famously bearing Medusa's head. The breastplate was fashioned by Hephaestus in his forge.; It was later found by the mortal Trey Rollins. He wore the breastplate which magically protected Rollins from any form of harm, by absorbing energy attacks or acting as a force field.; It was also put to use by Typhon, who used it in his battle against Zeus and Hera, which protected him from the Olympians' lightning bolts, but it apparently couldn't protect him from being killed by Hercules' Golden Mace. The breastplate was likely lost when Athena destroyed the machine that generated the Continuum dimension. ============================================================ 4-D Time Portico Kind: item Page: 4-D Time Portico Formal name: 4-D Time Portico Other aliases: Overdrive Type: Time Machine First appearance: Runaways Vol 1 13 Created by: Brian K. Vaughan; Adrian Alphona Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Runaways Previous owners: Chase Stein; Dale Yorkes; Stacey Yorkes; Pride; Heroine History: The 4-D Time Portico is the time machine previously owned by Dale and Stacey Yorkes, who used it to travel through time stealing rare and exotic artifacts to sell.; Due to malfunctioning, the Yorkes were briefly stranded in the 1980s where the Gibborim summoned them. When the Yorkes were recruited to The Pride, they began using the 4-D Time Portico for serving the Gibborim.; The Yorkes used the 4-D Time Portico to travel to the 87th Century to commission Old Lace to be engineered to protect their daughter, Gertrude Yorkes. Though later the machine was broken again and stored in the Pride's lair beneath the La Brea Tar Pits.; With help from Iron Woman, Heroine repaired the portico to travel back to warn the Runaways about Victorious.; During their trip to 1907, the Runaways encountered younger versions of the Yorkes with a working portico. Chase Stein stole the machine to travel back in time and save Gert, but see her younger and blissfully unaware of their parents evil, he decided to allow her to remain in the past. However, he did return to his father's workshop to steal a new set of Fistigons and X-Ray Specs.; Chase Stein was eventually able to get the 4-D Time Portico working again long enough to retrieve a dying Gert Yorkes for the burning Griffith Observatory. However, the Time Portico broke during the trip to the present.; ==Overdrive==; A smaller version of this device was created by the Yorkes and Steins to be installed in the Leapfrog. These small devices would allow for quick getaways, but did not have the same capacity as the large machine as it could only travel approximately 50 years in time.; As a safety precaution, the Yorkes hid these overdrives in several different locales and in several different eras. ============================================================ Ablation Armor Kind: item Page: Ablation Armor Formal name: Ablation Armor Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Wolverine Vol 6 1 Created by: Paul Cornell; Kris Anka Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Otto Octavius / "Peter Parker" Previous owners: Logan Properties: The armor is incredibly resistant. It can withstand a point blank laser blast and prevent its user from suffering any internal damage, and can presumably "withstand a nuclear blast." The armor also possesses three retractable claws in each wrist. The armor is apparently fairly easy to copy as Logan has multiple uniforms created presumably in case one is damaged. Notes: This armor was designed by Kris Anka. History: This armor was created in order to protect Wolverine after he lost his healing factor to a Microverse virus.; After Wolverine had gone to Spider-Man for information, Spider-Man gave advice regarding Wolverine's current condition and mental state, and 'playfully' tossed him off the top of a building, catching Wolverine with a webline just before he hit the ground. Spider-Man had also measured Wolverine's body during that time, and later, would sneak into the Jean Grey School to leave a present for Wolverine in the form of an armored suit. ============================================================ 0-8-4 (Hydra Weapon) (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: 0-8-4 (Hydra Weapon) Other aliases: "0-8-4" (by S.H.I.E.L.D.) Type: Unique Energy Weapon First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 2 Created by: David Straiton; Maurissa Tancharoen; Jed Whedon; Jeffrey Bell Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Hydra Place of creation: Germany Place of destruction: The Slingshot Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D. Previous owners: Hydra Version: Original History: The 0-8-4 was the name given by S.H.I.E.L.D. to the Tesseract-powered weapon found in Peru. This technology was developed by former Hydra scientists after World War II.; Phil Coulson's team retrieved the device. As dangerous technology it was sent to The Slingshot for disposal. Unbeknownst to everyone, the device was actually sent to the Fridge, where it was later stolen by Hydra. Hydra agents John Garrett and Grant Ward used the device to respectively free prisoners and unseal the Gravitonium.; Coulson later recovered the weapon and used it to vaporize Garrett just as made himself the new Deathlok. He then stored the device at Fury Secret Base, the Playground.; Somehow, Colonel Víctor Ramón got his hands on the weapon and was going to sell it to the Watchdogs to aid in their war on the Inhumans. The Hydra weapon about to be tested on Elena Rodríguez, who was captured chasing Ramon, when Daisy Johnson arrived to rescue her. A Watchdog managed to get his hands on the weapon and was about to shoot Elena as she was confronting Ramon, only for her to use her superspeed to evade the energy beam, which vaporized Ramon, and relieved the Watchdog of his weapon. Subsequently, S.H.I.E.L.D. recovered the Hydra weapon. ============================================================ Adrenaline Pills Kind: item Page: Adrenaline Pills Formal name: Adrenaline Pills Other aliases: Nuke Pills; Combat Enhancers Type: Drug First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 232 Created by: Frank Miller; David Mazzucchelli Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Drug developed by Project: Homegrown Lead designer: Project: Homegrown Current owner: Nuke History: ===Origin===; These are a set of three colored placebo pills used by Sgt. Frank Simpson, codenamed Nuke. Each color of pill allegedly generated a different effect. Red pills supposedly increased his adrenaline, white pills ceased the previous pill's effects, and the blue pills relaxed him. The fact that the pills are placebos suggests that Nuke lives in a constant state of increased adrenaline, but doesn't know it. The pills, therefore, trigger his violent behavior, but the effect is purely psychological. However, the Santo Marcan Armed Forces created a plant where they manufactured red pills, which caused bursts of blind violence to the Nuke Platoon. ============================================================ Air Gun Kind: item Page: Air Gun Formal name: Air Gun Other aliases: Air Cannon Type: Firearm First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 87 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Doom Current owner: Dr. Doom Properties: Air Generation Trivia: Called "Air gun" in the comic appearance, but "Air cannon" in the RPG book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1. History: This artillery piece shoots compressed air in the form of intensified wind. It is very useful against air-based enemies, but Dr. Doom designed it specifically to counter the powers of the Human Torch: Him and other similar superpowered beings lose their flame-based abilities when impacted. The Torch himself had to dodge it once, but when the Guards were busy fighting his peers, he had a chance to fly to the Castle.; Doom kept one or more of these air guns, or air cannons, on the tops of the towers of his Castle. He used three Servo-Guards to operate each of these, and a rotating platform so that they could aim. ============================================================ Aggression Enhancer Kind: item Page: Aggression Enhancer Formal name: Aggression Enhancer Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 334 Created by: Walt Simonson; Rich Buckler Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Mister Fantastic Previous owners: Doctor Doom History: During the Acts of Vengeance event, Doctor Doom was approached by a number of other villains to form a confederacy with the aim of destroying a number of superheroes. Doom found the idea preposterous, as he was -in his own mind- the only man who could ever destroy the Fantastic Four. He nevertheless decided to take this chance to play a joke and, to do this, he created the Aggression Enhancer.; The Aggression Enhancer radiated energy to achieve a threefold effect. Stimulating the brain's aggressive frontal lobes, suppressing higher intellectual restraining mechanisms, and projecting a specific target in the mind of the victim. This innovative design sparkled and crackled when affecting a nearby person to make him or her attack. Its effect was long-ranging, and a victim could be motivated to travel hundreds of miles in pursuit of the target. Only low-level supervillains would be affected for it - people who would never be a real threat for the Fantastic Four.; The Aggression Enhancer was a pink box-shaped item with four legs with suction pads that could move on its own, jumping from a position to another. Being small, it could remain unnoticed even in public locations. It had a huge button that appeared to switch it off, but that was a red herring, and it was so light that it was unnoticed when attached to a vehicle. If directly attacked, the Enhancer could move to dodge or, if grabbed, it generated an electrical discharge. As Doom was not really developing this with enthusiasm, he used available components, including unfrequent microchips and motherboards, which would be easy to track to the developer in Albany - which happened to be a lair of Doom himself (Other components had been built by a bankrupted corporation). Doom used that building to monitor the events surrounding the Enhancer, leaving a Doombot to impersonate himself in Albany. The Doombot was also provided with an explosive throne and the support of Super-Adaptoid as a defense.; Doctor Doom personally went to the roof of the Fantastic Four's headquarters Four Freedoms Plaza to leave the Aggression Enhancer with nocturnality - just when Mr. Fantastic had switched off the alarms for maintenance. Three supervillains - Constrictor, Beetle and the Shocker - were attracted to the Plaza, only to be defeated by the automatic security systems. The Fantastic Four were amazed, particularly as they had never confronted these specific enemies before.; In any case, the Four travelled to Washington, D.C. in the Fantasticar to speak before the U.S. Congress - unaware that the Enhancer had jumped and attached to the hull, attracting several villains. Their hearing was repeatedly interrupted by clumsy villains who left behind their disguises -systematically trenchcoat, hat and sunglasses- before attacking: Ramrod tripped; Plantman and The Quill collided with each other; and Flying Tiger was easily intercepted by Ms. Marvel. She then mentioned four other people in the room sharing the unusual attire, and the four of them -The Eel, Mad Dog, Thunderball and the Vanisher- attacked, only to be easily defeated by the heroes. Immediately after this, a security guard named Spaulding was affected and attacked the Four to be easily defeated.; The Invisible Woman identified the Enhancer on the room's ceiling as a possible source of the threat. The Human Torch tried to burn it, but it dodged his blast. Mister Fantastic then grabbed the item and apparently switched it off but recently-arrived Congressman James Pertierra accused Fantastic of having built the Enhancer and staged the scene to generate sympathy for his team. Soon afterward, security warned that other trenchcoated villains were arriving (Armadillo, Baron Brimstone, Man-Ape, Orka, Owl, Stilt-Man and Whirlwind), suggesting that the Enhancer either was still on, or had long-lasting effects. Ms. Marvel and the Torch, led by Ben Grimm, went to take care of the newcomers while Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman talked to the Congress. Even then, the Enhancer affected the Congressman and the audience, prompting them to attack the heroes. The Invisible Woman easily keep them at bay with her force fields, while Mister Fantastic dismantled the Enhancer, releasing them.; Mister Fantastic identified the pieces of the Enhancer and tracked those to Doom's lair in Albany, which the Fantastic Four raided. The Doombot there explained his plan -his jest- without any regret, then released the Super-Adaptoid on them. After Grimm defeated the Super-Adaptoid, two last villains appeared, affected by the Enhancer: Hydro-Man and Water Wizard, who fought each other for the honor of confronting the Fantastic Four, while Mister Fantastic swore he would obliterate the device. ============================================================ Ahl-Quito Kind: item Page: Ahl-Quito Formal name: Ahl-Quito Other aliases: Worldcleaver Type: Sword First appearance: Infinity Vol 1 1 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Jim Cheung Reality: Earth-616 Place of destruction: Ahl-Agullo Current owner: Corvus Glaive Previous owners: Augollux History: Augollux's sword, Ahl-Quito was destroyed by Corvus Glaive. ============================================================ Abundant Glove Kind: item Page: Abundant Glove Formal name: Abundant Glove Type: Unique Glove First appearance: Howard the Duck Vol 5 4 Created by: Chip Zdarsky; Joe Quinones Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Talos the Tamer Properties: The full extent of the Abundant Glove's capabilities is unknown. It allows its user to create and manipulate energy constructs (both sentient and not), fly, generate force fields, and fire energy blasts. Notes: Similarly to the Infinity Gems, the Abundant Gems attract each other. History: The Abundant Glove is an artifact formed by the Abundant Gems, in a similar yet much less powerful vein as the Infinity Gauntlet. These gems are the Compassion, Laughter, Dance, Respect and Second Dance gems. While individually each stone can do little, together they can make the wearer of the Abundant Glove "marginally" powerful.; The villainous Talos the Untamed traveled to the Earth to locate the gems (or at least the final two), with the purpose to assemble the glove and enslave the Earth to regain his honor in the eyes of the Skrull Empire. Using the alias of a human named Jonathan Richards, he hired the services of P.I. Howard the Duck to find the Respect Gem, which had been encrusted in a necklace stolen by the Black Cat, allegedly from Talos' human identity.; During Howard's third attempt to retrieve the gem, Talos snatched it from him and revealed his true nature as would-be conqueror. Talos proceeded to find the final gem, the Laughter Gem, buried in the former site of the Pier Four, right before Howard and his allies, the Human Torch, Doctor Strange, and Tara Tam, could get to it. With the set complete, Talos unleashed the constructs known as the Abundant Warriors to wreck havoc in the city. Tara Tam, who was revealed to possess shapeshifting powers similar to a Skrull, posed as Emperor Kl'rt and distracted Talos long enough to let Howard steal the glove from his hand.; After Talos' defeat, Howard gave the Glove to Mister Fantastic, wishing for it to be destroyed. It was last seen being examined on the scene by Doctor Strange. ============================================================ Agnitus Kind: item Page: Agnitus Formal name: Agnitus Type: Computer Program First appearance: Power Man and Iron Fist Vol 3 6 Created by: David Walker; Flaviano Armentaro Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Alex Wilder Place of creation: Unknown Current owner: Alex Wilder Previous owners: Preemptive Strike Notes: In Latin, Agnitus means "recognition". History: The facial recognition software is first seen with several members of Preemptive Strike, as they utilize Agnitus to identify the formerly deceased Gamecock and inactive criminal Mangler, framing them for crimes they did not commit. These attacks prompted their relatives and associates to meet with Luke Cage and Iron Fist, only for Preemptive Strike to attack the Headquarters of the Heroes for Hire during the gathering. ============================================================ Aerorig (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Aerorig Formal name: Aerorig Type: Flight Harness First appearance: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (film) Created by: James Gunn Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Rocket Current owner: Guardians of the Galaxy Dimensions: Variable/Adjustable Model: I Version: I Properties: Flight Trivia: Drax avoids using aerorigs, claiming that they hurt his nipples.

History: A weapon used by the Pulverizer during his Colombian quest for Don Druglordo. The Pulverizer attached a Vernier Sight to it before a chance encounter with Wolverweenie. ============================================================ Agents of Wakanda Jumpsuit Kind: item Page: Agents of Wakanda Jumpsuit Formal name: Agents of Wakanda Jumpsuit Type: Technology First appearance: Thor Vol 5 9 Created by: Jason Aaron; Michael Del Mundo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Wakandan Place of creation: Birnin Zana, Wakanda Current owner: Agent Roz Solomon; Agents of Wakanda Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable Properties: Each jumpsuit is equipped with Vibranium gloves and boots. They also have several other capabilities including:; Invisibility; Wall-Crawling; Retractable Gliding Wings History: When she was recruited to the Agents of Wakanda, Director Okoye provided Agent Roz Solomon with a brand new jumpsuit coded to her DNA. ============================================================ Acorn Locket Kind: item Page: Acorn Locket Other aliases: Doreen's necklace Type: Necklace First appearance: U.S.Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Al Ewing; Paco Medina Reality: Earth-616; Earth-61340 Current owner: Squirrel Girl; Nancy Whitehead Previous owners: Old Lady Doreen Model: 1 Version: 2 History: Originally the acorn locket was a birthday gift from Nancy Whitehead to Doreen Green; however, through the use of some time-travel high jinks, an older version of Doreen gave her locket to her younger self. This created an interesting time paradox in which Nancy can place a message in the original locket and it will instantly appear in the future locket the present-day Doreen has. Nancy used this messaging system when Doreen was mysteriously teleported away from the Negative Zone, separating her from her friends.; This locket messaging system ultimately played a key role in saving Nancy Whitehead's life and preventing a dystopian future. ============================================================ *Gem (Earth-TRN743) Kind: item Page: *Gem Formal name: *Gem Type: Stones First appearance: You Are Deadpool Vol 1 2 Created by: Al Ewing; Paco Diaz Reality: Earth-TRN743 Origin: Magical Current owner: Deadpool History: *Gems were mystical jewels that Deadpool could collect from multiple locations throughout time.

The Red Skull did not remove Doctor Doom's Armor, either because he could not or wanted ease of recognition. Unfortunately, Doom's armor had a hidden thermo-energizer device in the cuisse, which he barely managed to activate manually; that technology harnessed the heat energy directed against him, instead powering the armor until it was strong enough to break the case in small pieces. ============================================================ Abattoricon Kind: item Page: Abattoricon Formal name: Abattoricon Type: Technology First appearance: Iron Man Annual Vol 1 6 Created by: Peter Gillis; Luke McDonnell Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant History: The Abattoricon was a device that the Deviants used on the Eternals to disintegrate their bodies so Tode could inhale their molecules to gain immortality. ============================================================ Acrobat's Asbestos Gun Kind: item Page: Acrobat's Asbestos Gun Formal name: Acrobat's Asbestos Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 106 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Acrobat History: Acrobat's Asbestos Gun was a gun carried by the Acrobat that could shoot liquid asbestos.

Chichester; Scott McDaniel Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Harold Kenkoy Place of creation: S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Place of destruction: New York City Subway Previous owners: Harold Kenkoy; Eddie Passim; Daredevil Properties: About Face is a viral prototype, based on theoretical research made by the United States Department of Defense, that is designed to react to thought with physical changes, so that the infected person could modify his or her own body. The virus could alter the physical shape of the user, according to the thoughts of the user or of a third party who can control the virus telepathically. This had certain limitations, but it could theoretically allow for the affected person to stop suffering from certain ill effects of cocaine use (e.g. death by overdose), while still suffering from other effects (e.g. addiction). Voodoo-created Hellspawn intended to use it to transform his own magick existence into the real life of a human, and the virus indeed turned his body into a normal human's, identical from a forensic medicine perspective. Other people wanting to use the virus included Morbius the Living Vampire, who wanted to use it to alter his body and restore his humanity; Venom, who wanted to get rid of his weakness to fire and sound; the Snakeroot ninja clan, who wanted to use it on reanimated Erynys to stabilize her existence; and Siege, a cyborg who wanted to recover his tactile sensation and capacity to feel adrenalyn and other emotions. Neither of these had a chance to test it.; Unlike common viri, that inject nucleic acid and protein elements into the host cell to control it, a telepathic virus is cluttered with gene-spliced material, thus the cells can only be infected by either suspension in a medium rich in such acids and proteins, for the virus to be triggered by an external telepath, which was Kenkoy's plan in the large-scale test; or alternatively by ingesting the virus, which would allow the infected organism to guide it using its own thoughts, as happened with the Hellspawn. Should the virus be distributed as a gas in not enough amounts, the virus is destroyed harmlessly once the gas dissipates. Notes: Several aspects of the About Face virus mention specific dates that may have been modified due to the Sliding Timescale: Morbius mentions that this kind of virus was a hypothetical research in the 1960s; General Kenkoy staged the large-scale test of the virus on June 13th, 1963; and the Department of Defense had admit in 1975 that they had performed a gas-based experiment in the subways, but claiming that it was with a harmless gas. Any of these dates may be kept or modified. History: About Face was the project of General Harry "TNT" Kenkoy, USMC, authorised by the DoD. To obtain the genetic raw material required for the virus, Kenkoy took telepath Theresa Bellwether, who worked in the DoD ESPer station, murdered her, then extracted her exceptional brain cells and gene-spliced her biological components to develop the virus. Colonel Nick Fury discovered about this too late to save Bellwether's life, then did his best to stop Kenkoy's immoral viral experiments and make him fall.; Bellwether had started a romantic relationship with fellow telepath Eddie Passim, who, enraged, joined Project: About Face hoping to get close to Kenkoy and find a chance to get revenge on him - however, Kenkoy lacked the courage to kill Kenkoy when he had a chance. Fearing nothing of Passim, Kenkoy taught Passim about secret operations, finding a use for him in Project: About Face: Kenkoy wanted to make a large-scale test of About Face in New York City, spreading the virus through the underground, then using Passim's powers as a telepathic trigger to guide the virus and cause biological changes in thousands of people. In June 13th, 1963, 23 of Kenkoy's agents spread through the metro, each with a glass vial they had to open in the tracks to release the virus - but one of the agents was Passim, and his vial was not opened, either due to a conscious decision on Passim's part, or by accident. Following his plan, Kenkoy ordered the murder of the 23 agents, but Passim, being a telepath, got warned and escaped, becoming a derelict in New York City for at least two decades.; Eventually, and possibly due to Fury's influence, About Face was partially exposed. In 1975, the DoD had to admit publicly that they had spread a specific gas in the subway, claiming that it had been harmless and a test on the city's vulnerability to a nerve gas attack. Kenkoy was court-martialed for conspiracy and murder. He was allowed to retire, then moved to Hong Kong to ask Snakeroot, a criminal organization and faction of the Hand, for their help recovering About Face. Kenkoy managed to join Snakeroot as a member, and started a collaboration with them. He wanted to obtain the virus and modify a number of individuals so that they were immune to the lethal effects of heroin, but not to the addiction, so that he could obtain a constant heroin user who would buy the product for decades.; In recent times, interest for About Face renewed when several people began searching for the last vial, lost in the subway tracks: One of Kenkoy's soldiers involved in About Face went to Louisiana and revealed about About Face to a houngan, who in turn resurrected the Daredevil Hellspawn doppelganger; the Hellpspawn was tempted by the possibility of using About Face to become human instead of a voodoo-created creature. The Hellspawn killed the houngan and started his own search for the virus, simultaneous to Kenkoy's. Passim's powers went uncontrolled, causing several other homeless people to hurt themselves (changing their bodies in a metaphorical attempt to do the same that About Face could do), which attracted the attention of Daredevil, who became personally involved in the search. Snakeroot leader Daito wanted to infuse Elektra's dark essence into Snakeroot's own assassin, Erynys, extracting Elektra's essence from the mind of S.H.I.E.L.D. cyborg John Garrett, who had mind-melded with dark Elektra before she was purified - but the transfer, thou successful, required About Face to provide Erynys with stability - thou Snakeroot sent Erynys and Garrett themselves to obtain the vial. To get Garrett, Snakeroot had infiltrated the Pentagon and stolen files related to About Face, then kidnapped Garrett from S.H.I.E.L.D. facilities, attracting the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.; it's director, Nick Fury, resorted to freelance cyborg agent Siege to find the guilty part - and, when Siege discovered the possibilities of About Face, considering getting it for himself to restore the lost possibilities his cyborg status caused. The interest of the Hand in Elektra also attracted the Chaste, who sent several of its members, including Elektra, after it. Kenkoy also hired mercenary Silver Sable to find Passim, pretending to be his long-lost cousin, but Daredevil convinced Sable that Kenkoy was playing her for a fool, and she abandoned the search; at that point, Daredevil was collaborating with Passim. On the other hand, Kenkoy's cocaine-smuggling work in San Francisco caused the city's lethal protector Venom to discover about About Face and searching for it, hoping to remove his own weaknesses to fire and sound - but Daredevil convinced Venom that overcoming his fears through courage would make Venom more heroic, and Venom abandoned the search. Siege was also convinced to refrain from the temptation, but the living vampire knew about it and tried to obtain it.; This ended up when Morbius finally found the vial, only to be knocked down by Daredevil and Elektra, and they were eventually followed up by several of the other interested parties and starting a battle royale, in which Passim gave his life to kill Kenkoy, and Daredevil broke the vial in the Hellspawn's mouth. The Hellspawn became human, a doppelganger of Matthew Murdock, as he desired - only to be killed immediately afterward by Erynys, who was in turn killed by Daredevil and Elektra. Understanding that nobody would be able to use About Face again, they all left after such a fiasco. The Hellspawn's corpse was identified as Murdock's, which allowed Murdock (secretly Daredevil) to fake his own death. ============================================================ Adamantium Armor Kind: item Page: Adamantium Armor Formal name: Adamantium Armor Type: Battlesuit; Armor First appearance: X-Force Vol 6 25 Created by: Benjamin Percy; Victor LaValle; Cory Smith Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Forge Current owner: Wolverine Material: Adamantium Properties: Due to being made entirely of Adamantium, the Adamantium Armor is virtually indestructible. The Armor was not only designed by Forge to protect Wolverine if he was depowered but also meant to restore his powers as well. Notes: The armor's existence was first hinted at in X-Force Vol 6 25. History: When Krakoa had been established as a sovereign nation for mutants, Wolverine asked Forge to build him a suit of armor made from Adamantium in case he would ever lose his powers or for other doomsday scenarios. After the armor was built, Wolverine had it stored in a special bunker, along with a Muramasa Blade, hidden in the Aleutian Islands that could only be accessed by a gate planted just for Wolverine.; After the fall of Krakoa and during the Sabretooth War, Wolverine lost his powers after getting shot by Sabretooth with the Neutralizer. With the Krakoan gateways disabled by Orchis, Wolverine and the Exiles sailed to the bunker where Wolverine donned the Adamantium Armor and Muramasa Blade to use against the Sabretooth Army. During their final fight, Sabretooth lured Wolverine to the Pit of Exile and used his mental connection to the Pit to drag Wolverine within its depths where its vines stripped him of the armor. When Phoebe Cuckoo severed Sabretooth's connection to Krakoa, the Pit ejected Wolverine along with the scattered Armor from itself. However, Wolverine revealed that the Armor had already restored his mutant powers before it was stripped from him, allowing Wolverine to finish his war with Sabretooth uninterrupted. ============================================================ Acollonmy's Spell of Image Imagining Kind: item Page: Acollonmy's Spell of Image Imagining Formal name: Acollonmy's Spell of Image Imagining Type: Spell First appearance: New Avengers Vol 2 5 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical spell Lead designer: Acollonmy Current owner: Doctor Voodoo Properties: Acollonmy's Spell of Image Imagining is a spell that can summon images from the past or present.

History: A Destiny To Create is a book of memoirs written by Imayan activist Vincent Cetewayo around the time when he was founding his NGO Worldwatch Incorporated. The book highlighted the plight of his country, Imaya, which had been under the dictatorship of General Edu Arul for the past fifteen years. In its pages, Cetewayo outlined his hopes for global peace while also presenting the atrocities Arul had committed. Cetewayo gave a copy of the book to James Rhodes (secretly the super hero War Machine), whom he had invited to dinner in an attempt to convince him to head Worldwatch.; Arul was enraged upon reading the book, and after a public speech in which he vowed to execute Cetewayo for what Arul called seditious lies, Arul had Cetewayo kidnapped while in a mid-fight over Africa, forcing the plane to land in Imaya. War Machine traveled to Imaya to attempt to rescue Cetewayo, but in the process his armor was damaged and he lost his mapping systems. Fortunately, he remembered quite a bit of Imaya's geography from Cetewayo's descriptions in his book. ============================================================ Adamantine Crystal Kind: item Page: Adamantine Crystal Formal name: Adamantine Crystal Type: Mineral First appearance: Weapon H Vol 1 11 Created by: Greg Pak; Guiu Vilanova Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Carrie Espinoza Additional designers: Morgan Le Fay Place of creation: Weirdworld Previous owners: Carrie Espinoza Notes: With one single crystal of Morgan's power, Dr. Espinoza claimed the whole New York City could have energy for ten years straight. History: The Adamantine Crystal was a native mineral of Weirdworld with the particular feature of store magical energies inisde, those could be used later as any other energy form. Roxxon Corporation sent a squad if scientist to drain Morgan Le Fay from all of her power (and presumabily life as well) and to store that inisde the Crystal. However, when Weapon H was sent saving the squad from the dangers of Weirdworld, he freed Le Fay as he refused to use a person as a battery, but the witch took the control over the grey giant and destroyed the Roxxon facility where she was imprisoned. Dr. Carrie Espinoza survived and decided to put the Crystal inside a gun, transforming that into the deadliest weapon ever existed, wishing to use that on Roxxon's squad way to return Earth, but Roxxon's CEO, Dario Agger led them to a dead end and activated the self-destruction of the weapon, as a way to kill Weapon H, Morgan and all of the other super-obstacles for his plan. Luckly, Weapon H broke free from Morgan's control and forced Agger to deactivate the bomb. ============================================================ AK-X Antipersonnel Particle Beam Cannon Kind: item Page: AK-X Antipersonnel Particle Beam Cannon Formal name: AK-X Antipersonnel Particle Beam Cannon Other aliases: Atomic Cannon Type: Weapon First appearance: Web of Spider-Man Vol 1 22 Created by: Len Kaminski; Marc Silvestri Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Roxxon Current owner: Roxxon History: The AK-X Antipersonnel Particle Beam Cannon was a weapon created by Roxxon for the Pentagon, but it was rejected when it was discovered that it tended to overheat during use, causing explosions within a 500-foot radius. Roxxon then attempted to sell it to the Middle East, but the US government opposed this as well. A Roxxon manager then attempted to sell the cannon to the British government, devising a fictitious terrorist group, the Black Hoods, to exacerbate the conflict in Northern Ireland and then convince them, thanks in part to the intervention of a corrupt member of British intelligence, that this was the ideal weapon to deal with such problems. ============================================================ Advanced Iron Man Armor Kind: item Page: Advanced Iron Man Armor Formal name: Advanced Iron Man Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 7 4 Created by: Joshua Williamson; Carmen Carnero Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Fixer Place of creation: S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Gold Current owner: Fixer History: The Advanced Iron Man armor was created by Fixer when he was working for A.I.M. under Madame Masque's leadership. Masque had enlisted Fixer to help her enact a plan to capture several brilliant scientists and push them to their limits, so as to emulate the circumstances that led Tony Stark to reinvent himself as Iron Man and acquire A.I.M.'s own counterpart of the genius inventor. To this end, A.I.M.'s victims were placed in elborate escape rooms aboard the repurposed S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Gold that combined technology from Arcade, Mojo and Mysterio.; Spiteful at the lack of recognition and Masque's fixation on Stark, Fixer opted to instead combine all the inventions created by the captives on their attempts to escape into an armor for himself. Fixer set his sights on using the Advanced Iron Man to kill Stark, who had also fallen victim to Masque's experiment, expecting it to secure him A.I.M.'s leadership. Fixer used the Advanced Iron Man to intercept Stark and the surviving captives during a breakout attempt, seemingly killing Adam Ware in the process. Stark worked together with the other abductees, using himself as bait to lure Fixer to one of the escape rooms while the captives trapped him inside. The Advanced Iron Man was subsequently torn to shreds by several constructs of Iron Man summoned by the escape room's systems.; After being taken prisoner by A.I.M. but turning the tables on them and taking over the organization, killing Fixer in the process, Ware mass-produced the Advanced Iron Man. ============================================================ ADAPToid (Earth-6160) Kind: item Page: ADAPToid Formal name: ADAPToid Type: Security System First appearance: Ultimate Hawkeye Vol 2 1 Created by: Deniz Camp; Juan Frigeri Reality: Earth-6160 Origin: Security system designed with a high degree of adaptability by Advanced Idea Mechanics Lead designer: Advanced Idea Mechanics Previous owners: Ulysses Klaue, Grand Skull History: The ADAPToid was a security system designed by Advanced Idea Mechanics, a North American Union mega-corporation specializing in a variety of technological markets.; Arms dealer Ulysses Klaue had an ADAPToid in his high-rise apartment in Midas Tower. The Grand Skull had an ADAPToid array within his fortification in Fatherlandville, Ohio. ============================================================ Adamantium Tentacles Kind: item Page: Adamantium Tentacles Formal name: Doctor Octopus' Adamantium Tentacles Other aliases: Adamantium Arms Type: Technology First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 165 Created by: Roger McKenzie; Frank Miller Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Otto Octavius Place of creation: Glenn Industries Place of destruction: The Vault Previous owners: Doctor Octopus; Iron Man Material: Adamantium Dimensions: 6 ft.

Though they can be hijacked; Superhuman Strength: The Adamantium Arms allowed Ock to defeat The Hulk and Iron Man.; Wall-Climbing and Traveling Notes: The Arms do not respond as well to Octavius' mental commands as his regular ones. History: Doctor Octopus developed the Adamantium arms at Glenn Industries, unknowingly to him the owner of the building, Heather Glenn was the girlfriend of the civil identity of Daredevil, leading the vigilante to confront the Doctor. ============================================================ Alpha Stone Kind: item Page: Alpha Stone Formal name: Ke-Thai Other aliases: Alpha Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 16 Created by: Len Wein; Gil Kane Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Basilisk Model: Unique Notes: The origin of the Alpha and Omega Stones was originally somewhat different. According to what Captain Marvel told Spider-Man in Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 16, the Kree considered the Alpha and Omega Stones to be dangerous enough that a Kree starship was taking them to be destroyed in the heart of a distant sun when a crewman, motivated by greed, killed the guards and stole the gems. When the life-craft in which the thief tried to escape exploded soon after leaving the mother-ship, the gems were believed to have been destroyed but they actually survived and drifted through space until they landed on Earth.; The retconned origin of the stones that were joined to create the Lifestone Tree was revealed by the Kree Supreme Intelligence in Thunderbolts Vol 1 45 and was seemingly confirmed as fact by I.S.A.A.C. in Thunderbolts Vol 1 46. However, there are still some inconsistencies with this origin that have never been explained, and both the Supreme Intelligence and I.S.A.A.C. have been known to be less than truthful at times.; The Alpha-Stone was believed to be an emerald because of its green color while the Omega-Stone's red color caused it to be assumed to be a ruby. The retcon that established that they were two halves of a larger original stone does not explain their differing appearances. History: The Alpha Stone and the Omega Stone were originally both part of a larger stone that was a geological survivor of the Big Bang.; Thousands of years ago, members of the Kree race discovered a stone of tremendous power on the planet Kree-Lar. When the Kree split the stone in half, they unleashed massive forces of order and chaos that killed thousands of people. The Kree named the two halves of the original stone "Ke-Thai" (Alpha) and "Vi-Sha" (Omega) for Life and Death. The existence of these stones attracted the attention of scientists from more advanced races to Kree-Lar and they brought with them their own stones of power which, after some study, they determined were all remnants from the previous universe. The scientists discovered that the Alpha and Omega Stones could be used to channel extra-dimensional energies through them and into the smaller gems that had been brought to Kree-Lar. Those gems were then used to power an engine that genetically remade the bodies of eight aliens from different races into more advanced forms.; This Lifestone Tree remained on Kree-Lar for over two centuries until the galactic peace that had been maintained by the Chosen Eight of Fate collapsed. At that point, it was decided that the Lifestones should be removed to prevent intergalactic pirates from stealing them. However, this plan failed and the starship carrying the Lifestones was attacked. When the starship's warp drive imploded, it created a fissure in space that sucked the starship and the shattered stones into it, and the debris was later ejected through spatial anomalies throughout the galaxy. One such anomaly opened on the fringes of Earth's Solar System and spread slivers and fragments of the Lifestones across the planets.; A sliver of the Alpha-Stone landed on Earth where it was believed to be a very large emerald. The gem eventually ended up on display in a museum in New York City where a small-time criminal named Basil Elks tried to steal it. After Elks had smashed the display case and grabbed the gem, he was confronted by a security guard who shot at him. The guard's bullet missed Elks but struck the gem instead, shattering it and causing an explosion that doused Elks in its Kree-born energies, granting him immense powers. Upon discovering his new powers, Elks renamed himself the Basilisk and, now able to sense that another power like that which had transformed him was somewhere nearby, he set out to find the other gemstone. ============================================================ Amulet of Right (Otherworld) Kind: item Page: Amulet of Right Formal name: Amulet of Right Other aliases: Amulet of Life Type: Amulet First appearance: Captain Britain Vol 1 1 Created by: Chris Claremont; Herbert Trimpe Reality: Otherworld Origin: Otherworld; Magical Lead designer: Merlyn Additional designers: Roma Current owner: Henri Dugarry Previous owners: Brian Braddock; Betsy Braddock; Mastermind; Merlyn; Roma; Captain Britain Corps; Captain Britain (Earth-98125) Model: Unique Trivia: Some of the Captain Britain Corps members to choose the Sword of Might over the Amulet of Right include Albion, Lionheart, and Kid Briton.; On Earth-98125, Brian Braddock chose both the Sword of Might and the Amulet of Right to become Captain Britain and his world's greatest champion. History: When a new Captain Britain was chosen, Merlyn and Roma offered the choice between two items: the Amulet of Right and the Sword of Might. Which item they choose will affect their overall powers, as well as general costume. Choosing the Amulet represents the path of reason while the Sword represents the path of violence. Generally, Merlyn and Roma seek those who choose the path of the Amulet, but, on occasion, one who chooses the sword may become a Captain Briton.; When Brian Braddock was initially offered the choice by Merlyn, he chose the Amulet of Right.; Following the death of Merlyn, control of Otherworld fell to Roma. Unfortunately, Mastermind impersonated Roma to seized control and obtained the Amulet of Right with plans to concur the cosmos. Mastermind was eventually defeated by Captain Britain and Excalibur.; During the Skrull invasion of Earth, Skrulls raided Otherworld stealing the Amulet of Right, the Sword of Might, and the Holy Grail. These and other magical items were converted into a chain to be worn by one of their mystics. Using Excalibur, Captain Britain was able to defeat and decapitate the Skrull mystic. He also destroyed the magical, converted chain restoring magic.; While visiting Avalon in Otherworld, Captain Britain was infected by Morgan Le Fay's magic becoming her dark champion and giving up the Amulet of Right to his sister, Betsy Braddock, who donned the Amulet to become the new Captain Britain. Betsy was eventually able to free Brian from le Fay's control, but because of his trauma, Brian chose the Sword of Might over the Amulet of Right when he was offered the choice again by Merlyn and Roma in a dream. Distraught about his choice, Brian asked Betsy to keep the title of Captain Britain.; When Jamie Braddock created a reality incursion where an alternative version of Excalibur was caught in a middle of a war between Britain and Krakoa, that version of Betsy was killed in combat. Following a second reality incursion, each of the remaining four members of Excalibur, namely Gambit, Jubilee, Rictor, and Rogue, was chosen to take up a version of the Amulet of Right from Betsy's corpse and become a new Captain Britain, forming a new Captain Britain Corps.; During the attack of the First Horsemen of Apocalypse on the Starlight Citadel, Saturnyne intervened and set a contest where the forces of Krakoa and Arakko would each have ten swordbearers fighting in Otherworld. Both Betsy and Brian, as well as the Sword of Might and an unknown Starlight Sword, were prophesied to be part of the contest. Before the tournament, Saturnyne tried to force Betsy to step away from the mantle of Captain Britain and return the Amulet of Right to Brian. As part of a ruse, Betsy permanently destroyed the Amulet of Right with her psychic powers. Saturnyne then forged the Starlight Sword from the very walls of the Starlight Citadel to be wielded by Captain Britain, as a replacement to the Amulet of Right and to the Sword of Might. ============================================================ Amulet of Agamotto Kind: item Page: Amulet of Agamotto Formal name: Amulet of Agamotto Other aliases: Agamotto's "early-model Eye,"; Eye of Power "The lesser Eye of Agamotto,"; Talisman of Agamotto Type: Amulet First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 110 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Agamotto Place of creation: Pre-Cataclysm Earth Current owner: Doctor Strange Previous owners: Agamotto; the Ancient One; Rintrah; Doctor Strange (Temporal Remnant) Properties: The Amulet of Agamotto can provide mystic illumination, penetrate illusions, and track both corporeal and ethereal beings by their emissions, be they magical or psychic in nature. Unlike the Eye of Agamotto, the Amulet doesn't has the ability to serve as a gateway to other dimensions. Notes: The creation of the amulet represents the creation of the first "path" of magic, where a magician draws upon their own internal energies.; The appearance of the Amulet of Agamotto can change slightly. When it was first given to Strange, its backing was round and it remained that way for several of his early adventures in New York City. However, its backing then became square and has remained that way ever since.; In the early stories, neither of the amulets won by Doctor Strange were given their own names. This amulet was called an "early-model Eye" by Agamotto in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 32 and "this Amulet of Agamotto" by Doctor Strange in the Rintrah story in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Annual Vol 1 2.; The idea that this amulet was one of the Three Eyes of Agamotto first appeared as part of the Legend of Agamotto that was presented in Marvel Tarot Vol 1 1. However, Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 12 seemingly contradicted that claim by showing that two of the three Eyes, the Eye of Agamotto worn by Doctor Strange and the Eye of Power (at that time in the possession of the Asgardian dragon Sandurang) looked very similar to each other. The third Eye was said to have been lost to time in Savage Avengers Vol 1, and thus could not have been this amulet.; Agamotto has referred to both amulets as his "amulet eyes."; Although the sudden blindness that Silver Dagger experienced after being defeated by Doctor Strange in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 32 was almost certainly due to Agamotto removing the Amulet from his body, what Agamotto did with it was not shown. How it ended up in Strange's possession has also not been revealed. History: After Doctor Strange had been his disciple for seven years, the Ancient One decided that the time had come for Strange to leave to find his own way of battling the magical forces that threatened the world. To help Strange find his way, the Ancient One gifted him with both the Amulet of Agamotto and the Orb of Agamotto. Looking into the latter for the first time, Strange saw a vision of the townhouse in Greenwich Village that would soon become his Sanctum Sanctorum. Once based in New York City, Strange frequently used the amulet on his various quests. Eventually, after Strange defeated Dormammu for the first time, the Ancient One rewarded him by bestowing upon him a new Cloak of Levitation and a more wondrous amulet, the more powerful Eye of Agamotto.; For an unspecified time, Strange was allowed to keep both amulets. It was during this period that Strange cast the spell that severed one week from his personal timeline, creating a temporal remnant as a contingency that was then hidden away until needed. This excerpt from their timeline was equipped with his own version of the Amulet and Strange's original blue Cloak of Levitation.; At some point, the Ancient One reclaimed the Amulet from Strange and, without telling him, returned it to Agamotto, who kept it in his dimension where it remained for years. Eventually, Agamotto decided to use it to test the fanatical sorcerer Silver Dagger who had been imprisoned in that realm since being defeated by Doctor Strange. After finding the Amulet that Agamotto had "carelessly" left lying around, Silver Dagger took advantage of Strange's brief visit to that realm to pluck out his own left eye and mystically implant it into Strange's left eye socket (empty since that eye had been destroyed by a demon). Silver Dagger then stole the Amulet and hid it within his now-empty eye socket before escaping to Earth. Some months later, during the Infinity Gauntlet event, Silver Dagger and some of his followers confronted Strange in an attempt to kill him and reclaim his eye. However, Strange was able to use his Eye of Agamotto to overcome and imprison Silver Dagger. As soon as that happened, Silver Dagger became blind in his left eye again just as Agamotto appeared, revealed that he had been testing Silver Dagger (as Strange had secretly deduced) and took "Dag" with him back to his realm.; Soon afterwards, Strange, who had somehow regained possession of the Amulet, decided to reward his then-apprentice Rintrah for his recent heroic efforts by giving him the less powerful Cloak of Levitation and the Amulet of Agamotto. As part of a solo mission to determine if he would be allowed to keep them, Rintrah used them for the first time to defeat and banish the House of Shadows who had been posing as the top floor of a newly-built condominium. Rintrah agreed that he would consult with Strange before using the Amulet and Strange's original cloak, but soon disobeyed when a violent magical force seemed to threaten Strange's safety. Minutes later, after Galactus had convinced Doctor Strange to use the Eye of Agamotto to help him discover who had rendered Eternity catatonic, an angry Agamotto transported Strange, both Eyes and the Orb to his realm. Strange soon managed to bring Galactus to that realm and, when that led to a battle between Agamotto and the world-devourer, also summoned Hoggoth and Oshtur to intervene. Those other two-thirds of the Vishanti were able to convince Agamotto to stop battling Galactus and to allow Strange to depart with the three talismans.; Rintrah was not wearing the Amulet when he was seemingly killed soon afterwards. Although it turned out that Rintrah was not truly dead, he was going to be away from Earth for an extended period, so Strange reclaimed both the amulet and the cloak. Later, during the Infinity Crusade, Strange, whose real body was enthralled by the Goddess at the time, made use of both items while temporarily possessing the body of Wong in order to stop his brother Victor who had killed at least one person after beginning to lose control of his vampiric thirst for blood.; Years later, Deadpool broke into the Sanctum Sanctorum and stole the Amulet to allow him to access the Nightmare World in order to confront and potentially kill Nightmare himself. After Deadpool returned, Strange reclaimed the Amulet.; Eventually, after Doctor Strange was murdered by Kaecilius, that temporal remnant was summoned to solve his murder and appeared in the Sanctum Sanctorum wearing his own version of the Amulet of Agamotto. Since the time-displaced temporal remnant, his amulet and his cloak had all been created from one week of Strange's life span, they presumably all faded out of existence once their time had run out.; After Doctor Doom betrayed Strange and kept the title of Sorcerer Supreme for himself, Strange lost the Eye of Agamotto and the Cloak of Levitation to him. Consequently, he started to wear the Amulet of Agamotto alongside a new cloak to replace the items he had lost. ============================================================ Amulet of Kalmari Kind: item Page: Amulet of Kalmari Formal name: Amulet of Kalmari Type: Amulet First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 2 4 Created by: Gregory Wright; Dwayne McDuffie; Alan Davis Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical History: Amulet of Kalmari housed the spirit of Kalmari after his death at the hands of the Black Knight in the 12th century. In the modern age it fell into the possession of Annie until it was destroyed by the modern day Black Knight. ============================================================ Amulets of Power Kind: item Page: Amulets of Power Formal name: Amulets of Power Other aliases: Jade Tiger Amulets; Jade Tiger Claw Amulets; White Tiger Amulet Type: Amulet First appearance: Deadly Hands of Kung Fu Vol 1 1 Created by: Gerry Conway; Dick Giordano Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; empowered by the Tiger God Place of creation: K'un-Lun Current owner: Ava Ayala Previous owners: Master Kee; Abraham Brown; Bob Diamond; Lin Sun; Hector Ayala; Angela Del Toro Properties: Divine Empowerment: Wearers of the amulet are imbued with the power of the ancient Tiger God, imbuing them with master-level knowledge and experience of the martial arts, among other powers. When worn separately, by joining hands and reciting the incantation, "When three are called and stand as one, as one they'll fight, their will be done... For each is born anew, The Tiger's Son", Abe Brown, Bob Diamond, and Lin Sun were able to mystically channel their martial arts prowess through one another, increasing each other's strength and prowess. Hector Ayala and subsequent White Tigers used all three amulets in unison, greatly increasing the amount of power wielded by a single host. When the Tiger God made Ava his permanent host, the amulets merged onto her body which further empowered her.; Enhanced Strength: Wearer's physical strength is enhanced beyond of human potential. Their physical strength is above a normal human being.; Enhanced Speed: Wearer is able to run and move at speeds superior to those of any Olympic athlete.; Enhanced Durability: Wearer's body is more resistant to physical injury, to variable degrees than that of an ordinary human. The Amulets can also sustained the wearer, so they don't need to sleep or eat as long as they wore them.; Enhanced Agility: Wearer's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.; Enhanced Stamina: Wearer's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing poisons in their muscles and their musculature generates considerably fewer fatigue toxins than the muscles of an ordinary human being, granting them superhuman levels of stamina in all physical activities.; Acceleration Recuperation: Especially effective by placing the amulets on the wounded area of their body. They are able to heal broken bones, torn muscles, several gunshot & knife wounds and other severe injuries within moments.; Heightened Animal-like Senses: They can see with greater clarity and greater distances than an ordinary human. Wearer's vision extends into the ultraviolet and infrared areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing them to see in near-total darkness and retain the same level of clarity. Wearer's hearing is similarly enhanced, enabling them to detect sounds normal humans can't and sounds they ordinarily could but at much greater distances. They can track a target by scent and track them to the exact location.; Camouflage: Angela Del Toro discovered that the Amulets allow wearer to blend in with their surroundings while remaining perfectly still, though without becoming completely invisible.; Threat Detection: When the Tiger God feels threatened by nearby mystical energies, it can throb to alert the Amulets' wearer.; Psychic Resistance: The Tiger God is able to protect the wearer of the Amulets from even a well-directed psi-probe.; Costume Summoning: Ava Ayala was able to magically summon her White Tiger costume over her body through the Amulets. She was able to retain this power even after amulets were disconnected from the Tiger God.; Energy Manipulation: After permanently merging with the amulets, Ava can generate and project a mystical jade-colored aura from her body, which can be used to further enhance herself.; Divine Possession: During extraneous circumstances, the wearer of the Amulets can have their body taken over entirely by the Tiger God, increasing their ferocity in battle.; Life Imitation: When combined with the body of the original enchanted statue, the Amulets can grow and change to become part of a lifelike copy of the Tiger God itself.; Portal Creation: Being made from the same crystal that allows the residents of K'un-Lun to observe and traverse the dimensions, in its living form the Jade Tiger is able to open portals to K'un-Lun with a roar.; Teleportation: The living Jade Tiger can turn itself and its rider into a mist, disappearing from one area to appear in another.; ===Limitations===; Anyone who uses the Amulets for an extended period of time can find themselves physically addicted to its power. History: ===Origin and the Sons of the Tiger===; The three amulets originated in the hidden city of K'un-Lun as the head and front paws of an enchanted Jade Tiger statue, created from the same magical elements as the Great Emerald Crystal that allows the city to periodically appear in other dimensions. After their removal, the claws and head were replaced with copies.; Eventually they came into the possession of Master Kee of the Tiger Dojo, who kept the amulets in a special wooden box. When he was raided by ninja assassins, he was forced to bequeath them to his best student, Lin Sun, with his dying breath. Lin took the jade tiger's head for himself and gave the tiger's claw amulets to fellow martial artists Bob Diamond and Abe Brown. Channeling the power of the amulets, the three became known as the Sons of the Tiger.; ===Possession of Hector Ayala===; After fighting together on several adventures, the Sons of the Tiger eventually disbanded. Lin Sun discarded the amulets, pitching them into an alleyway, where they were eventually discovered by Hector Ayala, who channeled the power of all three amulets to become the White Tiger.; After Ayala's retirement, he returned the Amulets to the original Sons of the Tiger, who were convinced of the talismans' true mystic properties when they were drawn into another dimension. Seeking that power for himself, Master Khan, the self-proclaimed God of K'un-Lun, had his Ninja henchman steal the Amulets for him. Combining the Amulets with the original Jade Tiger statue, they grew into the shape of a lifelike full-grown tiger and opened a portal to K'un-Lun, which Khan rode the Tiger through, with Power Man, Iron Fist, and the original Sons of the Tiger in close pursuit.; Somehow, Hector Ayala reclaimed the original amulets and became the White Tiger again for one night. While interrupting a burglary, the thieves fled and a misunderstanding with the police led to Hector being arrested for the murder of the store owner. He was found guilty at trial and fled the courthouse before being shot to death on the front steps of the courthouse.; ===Ayala family legacy===; The Jade Tiger Amulets were eventually handed down to Ayala's niece, Angela Del Toro, who became the new White Tiger. However, she was corrupted by the Hand and fell from grace in the hero community. Hector's youngest sister, Ava Ayala, adopted the role of White Tiger after her.; When Jeremy Briggs sought to depower the world with his Clean Slate nanotechnology, he disabled the students of Avengers Academy by stealing their magical artifacts, giving the Amulets of Power to Coat of Arms. However, thanks to her relationship with the Tiger God, Ayala was able to bring their power back to her.; To test his plan to merge universes together, the Maker freed Del Toro from prison and supplied her with a new set of Amulets from another universe, which, though still made of green crystal, drew power from a red Tiger God and had glowing red eyes to match. When the Tiger Gods from Ayala and Del Toro's Amulets merged together into a new golden form, Ayala's Amulets became a dull, inert grey, and Del Toro's took on a yellow glow. Ayala later broke Del Toro's Amulet in half, freeing both of them from the Tiger God's power.; Some time later, the Tiger God's realm was invaded by D'Spayre, leaving the Tiger God unmoored and weak for many weeks. When a powerless Ava fought and was nearly overwhelmed by D'Spayre, this freed the Tiger God and Hector's spirit from the Fear Lord and they reappeared to her in a vision. The Tiger God then made Ava his permanent host, which repowered the Amulets and merged themselves onto Ava's body, not only returning her powers but further enhancing them as well. ============================================================ Amulets of Damballah Kind: item Page: Amulets of Damballah Formal name: Amulets of Damballah Type: Amulet First appearance: Zombie Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Steve Gerber; John Buscema; Tom Palmer; John Romita Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Vodū Current owner: Simon Garth; Donna Previous owners: Gyps; Gene Griggs; |Papa Shorty (Earth-616); Phillip Bliss; Calypso; Lilith Drake Model: Unique History: The Amulets of Damballah are two mystical artifacts that possess the ability to summon and control the animated dead. Also known as the Talismans of Damballah, these items are mystically endowed with the power of their namesake, Damballah – one of the most powerful Loa of the Voodoo religion. Each talisman is etched with the symbol of the serpent. Singularly, each amulet is capable of granting the user control over the dead, but the power only fully manifests when both amulets are used in concert.; Several years ago, an unscrupulous gardener named Gyps forced a Voodoo mambo, Layla, to use her knowledge of the dark arts to resurrect the body of recently murdered coffee magnate, Simon Garth. Garth rose from his grave as an unfettered Zombie, and attacked the nearby cultists. One of them managed to slip one of the Amulets of Damballah over the creature's neck, and it instantly froze. They gave the second amulet to Gyps, and told him that so long as he possessed the amulet, he would maintain control of the Zombie.; Gyps' ownership of the amulet was brief however. He ordered Simon Garth's zombie to murder his own daughter, Donna Garth, but a brief flicker of recognition imbued the zombie with enough free will to resist the command. Further, he turned against Gyps, strangling him until he died. The zombie retreated into the swamps of New Orleans while still wearing one half of the twin talismans.; The second talisman remained with Gyps' corpse until it resurfaced at the 7th precinct of the New Orleans police department. Detective Sam Jagger recovered the item and gave it to Donna Garth. Donna had no clue as to the amulet's true significance, but there was something about it that reminded her of her father. Donna's love for her father caused the zombie to rise from his grave once again.; A short time later, a man named Gene Griggs mugged Donna and stole the amulet. The zombie instinctively homed in on the talisman's location and confronted Griggs. Griggs attempted to destroy the zombie, only to meet a tragic end. During the scuffle, the amulet fell from Griggs' grasp and landed on the sidewalk.; A homeless, self-proclaimed "hater-of-lawyers" named Phil Bliss found the amulet and showed it to a waitress named Jeanette. Jeanette told him that the artifact was of Voodoo origin and was used to control the dead. Bliss unwittingly tapped into its power and summoned the zombie. The zombie walked along the ocean floor from Haiti to New Orleans in answer to the call. Bliss had the zombie attack a local courthouse, ordering him to murder every lawyer he could find.; Years later, one of the amulets came into the possession of the mystic, Calypso. During an earlier debacle, Calypso was savagely murdered by her former servant, the Lizard. While her physical body remained in a state of perfect preservation, her soul remained unfettered, leaping from one body to another. She bound her soul to the Talisman of Damballah and sought to use it to rejoin her spirit with her body. While inhabiting the body of an elderly woman, she boarded a Caribbean cruise ship where she met Glory Grant. She gave Grant the talisman and then left the old woman's body, infusing her spirit with the talisman. Through this, she was able to control Grant's actions.; After Glory returned to New York, the spirit of Calypso forced her to exhume her remains. The Zombie meanwhile, followed the amulet's trail to New York and intercepted Glory/Calypso at Cypress Hills Cemetery. The zombie likely would have killed her, but for the timely intervention of Spider-Man. While the two fought, Calypso completed the spell, and her spirit returned to her body. Spider-Man recovered the talisman and returned it to the Zombie.; A short time later, a wealthy student of the arcane named Kelsey Pierce acquired one of the amulets and offered it to the vampire Lilith Drake in the hope that she would reciprocate by turning him into a vampire. Lilith accepted the gift, but killed Pierce rather than turning him into a vampire. With the amulet, she took control of Simon Garth, and used him as her personal servant, forcing him to attack innocents and drag them back to her lair.; During this time, Donna Garth hired vampire private investigator Hannibal King to find the amulets and bring her father back to New Orleans. King's investigation led him to New York where he found himself teaming-up with Spider-Man in order to take down Lilith. The two were unsuccessful in defeating her, but King did manage to purloin the amulet, and he brought both the talisman and the Zombie back to New Orleans.; Presumably, the Zombie still possesses one of the talismans, while his daughter Donna maintains the other. ============================================================ Amulet of Quiox Kind: item Page: Amulet of Quiox Formal name: Amulet of Quiox Type: Amulet First appearance: Exiles Vol 1 32 Created by: Judd Winick; Jim Calafiore Origin: Magical Lead designer: Quiox Current owner: Ken Crichton Previous owners: Quiox Model: Unique History: The Amulet of Quiox helped to stave off Sunfire's vampiric infection until the rest of the Exiles could kill the Vampire King. ============================================================ American Son Armor Kind: item Page: American Son Armor Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 597 Created by: Joe Kelly; Marco Checchetto Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Norman Osborn Place of creation: Avengers Tower Previous owners: Gabriel Stacy; Harry Lyman Alternate owners: Harry Osborn (Earth-12041) Notes: The armor was capable of producing an energy shield and a "light hammer". Trivia: The armor itself was part of the American Son project, with other aspects being a combination of the Super-Soldier Serum derived from Steve Rogers' blood and the Goblin Formula. History: Realizing his Avengers were missing "a heart", the then-top cop Norman Osborn created the American Son Armor for his son Harry Osborn. Harry temporarily wore the armor and title to fight his father, to save Spider-Man, and free himself of his father's hold once and for all.; Later, a new individual purchased the armor from one of the men destroying Osborn's armory after his fall during the Siege of Asgard. This individual had been seen wearing the suit, which, according to the FBI, could "only be used by an Osborn". Gabriel Stacy was subsequently identified as the user.; The armor was dismantled by Harry Osborn during a fight with Gabriel at a burning warehouse. But the armor was recovered and delivered back to Gabriel at Rochester Psychiatric under Norman's request.; ==Alternate Realities==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-12041, the armor is dubbed by Harry Osborn as the "Patrioteer Armor" instead and lacks the bird symbol. It is one of various prototype suits for Norman Osborn's Iron Patriot Armor that Harry had found and took possession of so that he would be able to fend for himself and no longer be in need of protection. His father allowed him to keep it for his safety, thus began Harry's superhero carrier as the Patrioteer.; Ultimate Spider-Man (animated series) Season 4 4 ============================================================ Alpha Team Armor Kind: item Page: Alpha Team Armor Formal name: Alpha Team Armor Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 1 15 Created by: Daniel Knauf; Charles Knauf; Roberto de la Torre Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Previous owners: S.H.I.E.L.D. Alpha Team Notes: In order to hunt down the "fingernail nukes" placed throughout Rumekistan, Stark built and calibrated magnetometers which he then installed in each armor's forearm to direct them towards nearby nuclear material. Trivia: The S.T.A.R.s (Stark Tactical Assault Repulsor) used during the Sydney Opera House raid extremely resemble the FAMAS assault rifle. History: Designed by Tony Stark especially for the four man special-ops Alpha Team during his tenure as S.H.I.E.L.D. director, the Alpha Team armor is based on a scaled-back version of the Iron Man armor. It provides full flight capability thanks to boosters in the boots and hands, as well as significant protection against damage. Gomez of Alpha Team was able to survive a nuclear detonation at close range thanks to the protection his suit offered, though he was badly burned and remained unconscious for some time. The suits also provided sensor equipment, active camouflage sophisticated enough to render them completely invisible to the human eye, and later, repulsor weapons mounted in the palms - earlier versions relied on a repulsor-based rifle carried by hand. No strength enhancement was ever demonstrated, but Alpha Team members were able to hold their own in combat against several unarmored humans, and the suits are capable of moving under autonomous control, even should the pilot die inside (as shown when the Overkill Horn stopped the hearts of two pilots and then used their armor against another group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents). ============================================================ Amulet of Abbadon Kind: item Page: Amulet of Abbadon Formal name: Amulet of Abbadon Type: Amulet First appearance: Secret Warriors Vol 1 17 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Alessandro Vitti Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Bobby Gomorra Properties: Portal Creation: The Amulet of Abbadon can open portals between two locations, large enough to transport mid-sized group of people. Bobby Gomorra was assessed by Nick Fury as one of the recruits with a highest risk, but it is unknown if it was due to the Amulet of Abbadon possessing some other powers or Gomorra himself being dangerous and/or unpredictable asset. History: Nothing is known about the Amulet of Abbadon apart from the fact that it was wielded by Bobby Gomorra and because of this he was included into Nick Fury's secret group, the Caterpillars. ============================================================ Alibar's Lamp Kind: item Page: Alibar's Lamp Other aliases: The Lamp of Alaeddin Type: Unique Lamp First appearance: Thor Vol 1 474 Created by: Roy Thomas; Sandu Florea Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian; Magical Current owner: Alibar Previous owners: Mogol; Sherzada History: The Lamp was stolen from Alaeddin by Alibar and kept near the Enchanted Rod of Wonderous Wizard Power which inprisoned Mogul.

History: ===Origin===; In Mesopotamia or Sumer or someplace like that, the priestesses of the Demon Pazuzu found themselves in a religious war with priests of another god (Marduk or Baal or Dagon). One night while the priestesses practiced their filth-gathering ritual in the water of the Tigris, the Euphrates, the Swanee or some such river, Vicki of Hambabu found a mysterious jewel that pulsated with arcane energies and disinfectant liquids. The disembodied voice of Pazuzu told her to "Make a bracelet of purest uranium and wear this jewel on your wrist. You will develop vastly enlarged bazooms, and when the enemies strike you alone will be spared". She did as she was instructed and when the priestesses were attacked by their rivals and slain, Vicki faced the priests unafraid and she was the chosen of Pazuzu, the stupendously endowed instrument of germ-ridden justice: she was the wielder of the Doucheblade. As promised, she alone survived but fearing prosecution she fled into the desert where she later died of radiation poisoning.; ===Transmission===; Over the centuries the blade past through the Pazuzu-chosen of their generation: Hatshepsut of Egypt, Hippolyta of the Amazons, Joan of Arc of France, the British writer Jane Austen, Queen Victoria of Britain, possibly Lizzie Borden, then Eleanor Roosevelt the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, before remaining lost for forty years; ===Modern days===; It was later found in Cleveland by a novelty salesman who placed it in a claw machine. The amulet was discovered by Kenneth Flogg who used his assistant, Ian Whippingham to wait till the chosen one picked it who turned out to be Suzi Pazuzu; While interrogating Howard the Duck and Beverley Switzlet, Suzi began getting visions of those previously chosen and returned home, being followed by Howard and Beverly who entered during the Ridiculum, the ultimate trial of the Doucheblade (a painful process involving riddles from the previous wielders). As they went to the house, Ian and Dr Bong arrived with the intent of stealing the Amulet for Kenneth. During her transformation, Ian and Bong burst in knocking the amulet off and onto Howard instead, who transformed. Killing Ian in a fit of rage and gratuitous violence, he went to kill Bong, but failed and Beverly threatened him with the blade before he fled. The blade turned back into amulet form and the pair left it back in the possession of Suzi. ============================================================ Amulet of Cyttorak Kind: item Page: Amulet of Cyttorak Formal name: Amulet of Cyttorak Type: Amulet First appearance: She-Hulk Vol 2 16 Created by: Dan Slott; Rick Burchett Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Cyttorak Place of creation: Crimson Cosmos Current owner: Agent Crimson Model: Unique Properties: Magical Conduit: The amulet grants access to the mystical powers of Cyttorak and the Crimson Cosmos.

For example, turn stone into glass or paper. However, the effect is not stable and the transformed material usually turns to dust after exposure to heat or after a certain amount of time. The gun can also change liquids into solid matter, for example, turn water into granite. And it can affect living beings, even fully transforming human body into glass. History: Alchemy Gun was invented by Curtis Carr who then started to use it to commit crimes as Chemistro. Carr was quickly defeated by Luke Cage and sent to prison. While there, Carr was forced by Arch Morton to reveal how to create the Gun. Morton tried to recreate Alchemy Gun later on, but his version exploded in his hands.; After Carr was released from the prison, he created a new version of the Alchemy Gun. It was stolen by Carr's brother Calvin. Unlike Curtis, Calvin had no qualms about using the Gun on living beings and became a more dangerous criminal.; Curtis later was able to figure out how to reverse the effect of the Alchemy Gun. ============================================================ Alphanex Kind: item Page: Alphanex Formal name: Alphanex Type: Technology; Computer System First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 30 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Mike Mignola Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Canadian Lead designer: Department Place of creation: Canada Previous owners: Alpha Flight History: Alphanex was the advanced computer system that the Canadian government placed in Mansion Alpha.

Effectively the gems restorative and emboldening forces eliminate the recipients need to eat, sleep, breath or feel any form of discomfort in traveling within any inhospitable habitats they may wander into.; Divine Power Negation: It's main appliance is the resistance of any and all heavenly or cosmological might no matter how absolute its force may be.

Notes: Ironically enough the gem present in the mainstream marvel universe was created due to a time paradox born from a possibly now nonexistent future. History: The amulet was an artifact of power created by the future self of Tarene the prophesied Designate via parachronal time paradox due to a stagnating future timeline created by a morally rudderless King Thor.; Some countless centuries ago a tribe of reverent, god-worshiping aliens who regularly offered their next of kin as sacrifices to appease them. Tarene ventured back into the past warning the once pious Desak Sterixian not to forfeit his only daughter to them for they would betray his faith, a questioning Desak crumbled in despair when given the gift of the designate's jewel to save his daughter Loatia; as she cast herself into the fire pit before her.; When the evil god Kronnitt, whom the tribe forsook Desak's daughter too didn't appease him thus, razed his home and everyone he'd ever knew or loved including his beloved wife Almonnas. The Spirit of The Jewel reappeared to the now broken man, resigned to accept her offer and take vengeance on his and all the petty gods of other pantheons throughout the cosmos by taking on the spectres Jewel; thus Desak The God Slayer was born. ============================================================ Alpha/Omega Kind: item Page: Alpha/Omega Formal name: Alpha/Omega Type: Artifact First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 8 10 Created by: Dan Slott; Michael Allred Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Center of the Universe History: According to the Silver Surfer, the Alpha/Omega was the name of the object which contained all potential matter and energy before the Big Bang. When it collided with Galactus' Incubator, Alpha/Omega split in two items, the Alphex and the Omegron, which were sent hurtling to the opposite ends of Eternity.

And if the Alphex and Omegron were to ever rejoin, the entire universe would fold back inside itself. ============================================================ Alphex Kind: item Page: Alphex Formal name: Alphex Type: Artifact First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 8 10 Created by: Dan Slott; Michael Allred Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Center of the Universe Notes: Galactus originally planned for only Omegron to be returned to its original place, until Dawn Greenwood offered to lend a hand and take care of Alphex. History: Alphex was the name of one of the two pieces the Alpha/Omega was split into after it collided with Galactus' Incubator, causing the Big Bang, with the other piece being the Omegron. In that moment, the two pieces were sent hurtling to the opposite ends of Eternity. However, ever since then they had been heading back toward each other. And if the Alphex and Omegron were to ever rejoin, the entire universe would fold back inside itself.; When Alphex and Omegron were close to reuniting at the center of the universe, Galactus kept them at bay using all of his power. In order to prevent the universe's early death, he summoned the Silver Surfer and his companion, Dawn Greenwood. Dawn held on to Alphex, the Surfer took Omegron, and both were subsequently sent by Galactus to opposite sides of the universe to tether each object to the outer walls of existence. The heroes were successful, and bought the universe a new life cycle. ============================================================ Amulet of Amtura Kind: item Page: Amulet of Amtura Formal name: Amulet of Amtura Type: Amulet First appearance: Doctor Strange/Punisher: Magic Bullets Infinite Comic Vol 1 4 Created by: John Barber; Jason Muhr; Dominike Stanton Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange History: Using the Amulet of Amtura, Doctor Strange managed to teleport himself and the Punisher thirty feet away from the Fusilli's Italian Restaurant. ============================================================ Alchemy Formula Kind: item Page: Alchemy Formula Formal name: Alchemy Formula Type: Drug First appearance: Winter Soldier: The Bitter March Vol 1 3 Created by: Rick Remender; Roland Boschi Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Mila Hitzig History: The Alchemy Formula is a variant of the Super-Soldier Serum.

Lewis Green described the item as a vessel for a finite pool of energy that could be refilled indefinitely through the lifespan of others, a contingency put in place by the gods to prevent misuse.; Divine Transformation: The wearer could empower themselves with the amulet's font of life-force at will. Furthermore, the more victims the wearer made, the stronger he became by absorbing the vital energy of his victims. While in this empowered state the wearer would fill out their frame and grow much sharper and chiseled facial features, becoming a more Hellenistic version of themselves. Prof. Green noted that this sensation was akin to "letting out his inner Achilles" indicating that the change was not only physical but psychological as well. In fact, the usually meek Lewis Green became much bolder under the amulet's influence to the point of arrogance and perhaps even apathy to the value of human lives. At least in the case of criminals.; The wearer was made immediately aware of the amulet's function and drawbacks upon activating it for the first time. The breadth of powers that were accessible by the wearer were as follows:; Invulnerability: Chief among the traits imparted by the mythical amulet was obviously a invulnerability to harm. The wearer's body turned superhumanly hard and impossible to damage through external forces. They could easily shrug off machine gun fire and the bites of a pack of magical canines spawned from Cerberus himself without any damage.; Superhuman Strength: Corresponding to the increase in physicality the wearer would gain incredible strength. Prof. Green could wrestle with the lycantrope form of The General, the cerberoi and overpower the Fear Lord Nox at full charge.; Superhuman Vitality: The very reason why The General originally sought out the Amulet of Achilles was to stave off his rapidly deteriorating condition. Though Lewis Green did become much more stout and hardy-looking under its influence, it is unknown if it truly could've prevented the disease from spreading further.; Lifespan Storing: Due to the amulet's particular nature it could hold a wealth of additional lifetime in itself. For each life it took the wearer would gain another year. This meant that the wearer would live longer than ordinarily possible for as long as there were lives to take.; Object Transformation: By drawing on the amulet's energy Prof. Green tranformed his clothes into a more practical uniform and summoned a sword with a shield to arm himself with. These apported items could rend steel and resist gunfire.; Curse of the Gods: To prevent mortals from abusing the amulet's power against them, the Olympians placed a condition on its use. For each time it was activated or when it was worn for more than a day, its wearer would lose a year of their life. Each life taken while wearing the amulet would then restore a year. History: The General commissioned the archaeologist Prof. Lewis Green to find an artifact in Turkey, near ancient Troy. Prof. Green found the artifact but did not give it to the general but kept it for himself wearing it and transforming himself into the superhuman Achilles.; When Achilles died, the Amulet was secretly taken by The Surgeon. ============================================================ Amulet of Shirrair Kind: item Page: Amulet of Shirrair Formal name: Amulet of Shirrair Type: Amulet First appearance: Power Man and Iron Fist Vol 1 100 Created by: Kurt Busiek; Ernie Chan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Fera Previous owners: Master Khan History: The Amulet of Shirrair was a magical amulet that Master Khan used to make Fera do his bidding.

After bonding to it, Carnage became largely immune to fire and sonic-based attacks, boasting that it had ascended to godhood and was therefore immortal. Wielding All-Blood, Carnage also became able to easily kill superhumans with potent healing factors, such as Wolverine, and powerful cosmic and divine entities such as the Silver Surfer and Knull; absorbing their powers in the process and storing them within it. Notes: While intended to be a sword, All-Blood was manifested by Carnage as a bident. History: All-Blood the Necrospear is a divine weapon forged by Drorin Runehewer and Carnage using All-Black the Necrosword as a template, granting Carnage power akin to that of Knull.; When Cletus Kasady was reanimated by Knull, he plotted to usurp the dark god's power to become a god of destruction himself. Thwarted by Eddie Brock beating him to the punch, Cletus came up with a new plan to become a God-Butcher that he set in motion by corrupting several of the symbiotes left stranded on Earth following Knull's invasion and assimilating the Extrembiote. However, Cletus eventually recanted his ambitions of godhood, leading to a falling out between himself and the Carnage symbiote.; Deciding to enact the plan on its own, Carnage subsequently embarked on a quest across the Ten Realms until it reached Niffleheim. Carnage hunted down Malekith in Hel and extracted the codex left in his body from when he had bonded to the Venom symbiote and manifested All-Black the Necrosword during the War of the Realms. After travelling to Nidavellir and freeing Drorin Runehewer, a dwarf-lord and master blacksmith, Carnage demanded he use the codex as a template to forge a modified replica of All-Black.; Drorin set about doing so, but conspired with Kenneth Neely -- a human serial killer swept up by Carnage's omnicidal ambitions -- to use the heat of the forge to kill the symbiote. Their plan nearly succeeded, but Jon Shayde -- a police officer who had been hunting for Neely -- unintentionally saved Carnage. Carnage consumed the corpses of the dwarves slain by the God of Hammers' rampage to absorb the Uru in their flesh, blood, and bones; undergoing apotheosis and manifesting the Necrosword as a bident-type spear.; Near the end of the Venom War, Carnage lended All-Blood to Meridius to reassert his control over the Zombiotes. Meridius then attempted to kill Dylan Brock using All-Blood, but in that moment the latter was imbued with the Eganrac which allowed Dylan to convert the weapon into its opposite self. Dylan proceeded to use All-Blood to kill Meridius, but after finishing the deed, it and Eganrac reacted violently upon contact, causing them to destroy each other and attempt to corrupt both him and the Venom symbiote. Venom separated from Dylan to save him and was seemingly destroyed by Alchemax alongside of what remained of All-Blood. With All-Blood gone, Carnage lost all of the powers it had stolen as they were stored inside the weapon, reverting it to its normal self. ============================================================ All-Terrain Survival Suit Kind: item Page: All-Terrain Survival Suit Formal name: All-Terrain Survival Suit Type: Suit First appearance: Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 18 Created by: Mark Gruenwald; John Byrne; Mark Bright Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Bel-Dann History: The All-Terrain Survival Suit was an armored suit worn by the Kree warrior Bel-Dann during a confrontation with the Fantastic Four and the Inhumans of Attilan beneath the city.

Next add the remains of a corpse that's been decaying for at least 30 million years (like zooplankton remains found in petroleum products) followed by three drops of frankincense.

History: ===Origin===; The Ark of the Covenant, Holy Ark, or Holy of Holies was the Ark used to carry around the original tablets of the Ten Commandments.; There were seemingly not one but multiple Arks of the Covenants.; ===Early years===; Before Moses the prophet of God (Yahweh) and leader of the Israelites passed away, he appointed Joshua to lead his people. To reach the Promised Land, they had to conquer the mighty city of Jericho. Joshua, knowing God was with them, ordered the Ark to carried (by his seven priests) across the Jordan. As they did, the waters of the Jordan parted, allowing Joshua's host to cross it and reach the Promised Land. Joshua ordered the priests to processionate around the walls of Jericho. For seven days they did, and on the seventh, the walls of Jericho crumbled. The Israelites' host entered and destroyed the city.; God visited Samuel, son of Hannah and Elkanah, telling him that the Holy Ark would be taken from the Israelites and the sons of Eli (a priest of God) were evil and would fall to evil ways (dicing, worshiping idols...), and that Samuel had to warn the people. Eli's sons and the Israelites laughed at Samuel. When he had grown up, God came to him to warn him that judgement was coming, but again Samuel was ignored. In the following battle with the Philistines, the Israelites were defeated, the sons of Eli killed, and the Ark taken away by the Philistines. They brought the Ark to the Temple of Dagon in Ashdod.

Superior Trivia: When Arnim Zola makes his first appearance in Captain America: The First Avenger his face is distorted through a lens, an homage to the comic version whose face is projected onto a screen. History: ===Origin===; Needing funds to continue his research, Arnim Zola presented his first invention, the creation of device that would transfer someone's essence to a cloned body, to Adolf Hitler, who agreed to become his patron. This device and partnership allowed Hitler to survive World War II as the Hate-Monger. Zola also used it on himself, not only allowing him to survive into modern times but to also replace his normally frail body with a stronger, android one. This robot body allowed bipedal movement and projected an image of his original face on a screen located on its chest.; ESP Box: The top of the body he installed the ESP Box. This device allows him to mentally control his various genetic creations by means of the ESP Box mounted atop his torso and surgically attached to his central nervous system. Although most of the creatures possess limited intelligence and the capacity for creative thought, Zola can override their mental processes if he so desires. The ESP Box is a retractable device that can convert brain waves into electronic signals for transmission as telepathic commands within ordinary radio range. Normally, Zola is capable of controlling only his own organic creations, but if he remains linked to his support equipment, he can stimulate his own mental power to such a degree that he can create a psychokinetic network able to animate inorganic matter within radio range. Zola is unable to control natural organic life. The ESP Box also provides Zola with the following powers:; Mind Control; Mind Ray; Mind Transfer; ===Red Skull===; After a fight with Bucky who at the time was Captain America, Arnim Zola transferred the Red Skull's mind out of Aleksander Lukin's body and into one of his own spare android forms as a temporary measure.

After receiving a "terminal diagnosis" in 1972, Zola found a way to preserve his brain patterns via computer tape, and transcended death as an artificial intelligence. In the present day, Captain America and Black Widow discovered the secret complex within a bunker at Camp Lehigh where the computers containing Zola are kept, and learned from him that Hydra still existed as a conspiracy with a major branch within S.H.I.E.L.D.; ===Phase One Video Game Adaptations (Earth-TRN999)===; Eventually; Zola said that he transferred his mind into a robot. Captain America fought him around four times, every time in his robot form. In fact, Zola didn't transfer his mind into a robot, but instead used a video camera on his face placed it on the robot.; ===Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610)===; Arnim Zola was a Nazi biochemist, who was killed in an attack on his lab by Captain America. Zola did not die and the O.S.S. rescued him so as to harvest his intellect on the post-war super soldier program. Later they mapped his brain and created an artificial intelligence out of it before the tumors he had could degrade his mind. A short time before the Liberators attacked the United States, a white survivalist group called the Marauders attacked the military base where Arnim Zola's A.I. was being held and stole it, along with some other weaponry. Arnim Zola was then able to convince the leader of the Marauders to allow Zola to commence experiments on him. Zola mutated the man until he was approximately 20-foot (6.1 m) tall and installed armor plating (and Zola's AI brain) on him with a hologram of Zola projected from the chest and was called "Uber-Siegsoldat". He then took over the Marauders and got them to gather people for his experiments. Captain America and the Falcon were sent after him and were able to defeat him by freeing the people he had kidnapped, who promptly tore apart his body, whereupon Captain America collapsed a support strut onto the Zola A.I.. ============================================================ Atomic Cannon Kind: item Page: Atomic Cannon Formal name: Atomic Cannon Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 54 Created by: Bill Mantlo; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Place of destruction: Liberty, New Mexico Current owner: Major Del Tremens History: The Atomic Cannon was used by Major Tremens against the Hulk, but it was eventually destroyed by Woodgod. ============================================================ Atmospheric Moisture Freezing Device (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Atmospheric Moisture Freezing Device Formal name: Atmospheric Moisture Freezing Device Other aliases: Donnie's Weather Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the following appearance just after that, Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 9, he replaced the Atomo-Collar with Slave-Collars, which he also used on the other, just-captured Avengers. In S-V T-U #9, Attuma mentioned that he had "forged about" the Slave-Collars; that may mean that the Slave-Collars were finished only after Vision's capture, which would explain why Attuma didn't use the Slave-Collar on Vision instead of the Atomo-Collar. History: The Atomo-Collar was used on Vison, when he was captured by the Atlantean forces of warlord Attuma. If Vision tried to escape the restraining bonds by altering his molecular agony, Vision was hit by a wave of screaming agony. Attuma later replaced the Atomo-Collar with a smaller Slave-Collar that allowed him to control Vision's mind. ============================================================ Astral Regulator (Multiverse) Kind: item Page: Astral Regulator Formal name: Astral Regulator Other aliases: Dimensional Regulator; Regulator Type: Stone First appearance: Thanos: The Infinity Conflict Vol 1 1 Created by: Jim Starlin; Alan Davis Reality: Multiverse Origin: Magical Lead designer: Above-All-Others Place of creation: Every universe Previous owners: Thanos Model: Unique Version: 1 Notes: The Powers of the Astral Regulator are immense and godlike, when someone wields it, they gain the power to absorb any cosmic entity, even Above All Others, and also cannot be harmed by beings like the aforementioned Above All Others, due to the fact that even he cannot break the rules he created, for he only has the power to build and not break, something only the One Below All can do, every Astral Regulator is also connected, meaning having one lets you access all their powers combined, if the Astral Regulators lose connection, it would cause the collapse of the multiverse as the universes crash into each other and melt to chaos. History: Astral Regulators are powerful artifacts created by the the One-Above-All to keep the different universes of the Multiverse from clashing into each other. The Regulator of each universe is stored in a highly protected place where most beings would immediately die. Thanos, controlled by his future self, was able to get his universe's regulator, since he "existed outside the norm" (a living being that can never die), and used it to absorb into his being most of the Cosmic Beings, including the Above-All-Others themselves and the Living Tribunal. ============================================================ Arrows of Heracles Kind: item Page: Arrows of Heracles Formal name: Arrows of Heracles Type: Arrows First appearance: Herc Vol 1 1 Created by: Greg Pak; Fred van Lente; Neil Edwards Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Olympian Lead designer: Hercules Current owner: Hercules History: Tipped with the feathers of the Stymphalian Birds, they cleave all armor, natural or manmade. ============================================================ Arishem's Justice (Earth-517) Kind: item Page: Arishem's Justice Formal name: Arishem's Justice Type: Hammer First appearance: Marvel Realm of Champions Created by: Kabam Reality: Earth-517 Current owner: Gamma Horde History: Arishem's Justice was one of the Celestial Weapons, currently owned by the Gamma Horde. ============================================================ Armagedron Kind: item Page: Armagedron Formal name: Armagedron Type: Robot First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 6 33 Created by: Dan Slott; R.B.

Doom lashed out at the Fantastic Four and activated the Amragedron. He targeted the Human Torch, bombarding him with concentrated cosmic rays that overloaded his powers and prevented him from turning off his flame. When one of the weaponeers who had worked on it named Wilhelm rushed to the scene and warned about the Armagedron blowing up due to its instability, The Thing destroyed it.

The armor featured a battle computer that was capable of analyzing an opponents fighting style and was capable of predicting the persons action.; While retaining the suction cup features on the hands, the fingers were shortened to normal finger length, and the suit was now capable of projecting electrical discharges known as an Electro-Bite.

The suit was destroyed by one of Stark's Negator Packs.; Abner would have the suit rebuilt by the Tinkerer (although it was less sophisticated) and it was on par with his second version of the Mark II.

History: In 1750s the witch Agatha Harkness and her son Nicky Scratch travelled around the New England Colonies, never staying in one place for long they were constantly on the move. In 1756 a 6-year-old Nicky just for fun started to create a song about all the roads they travelled, the things he saw around and experienced. His mother helped him to find rhymes and they also included lines about each other and their love.; Agatha later changed "the road" in the chorus to "the witches' road" and Nicky sang this version in taverns to attract attention of the witches whom Agatha then killed. Unbeknownst to them the song had started to spread far outside the taverns they have visited. More and more witches started to learn about it and the legend was born about the mysterious Witches' Road that can grant any wish to a witch who can finish it.; After Nicky's death, Agatha discovered that many desperate witches were looking for the Witches' Road which actually never existed. She realized that she could use it to lure and kill witches, so Agatha further modified the lyrics to form The Ballad of the Witches' Road. For efficiency Agatha wanted to kill multiple witches every time, so the Ballad stated what to access the Witches' Road, a coven of at least four witches including a protection witch to represent the element of fire, a potioneer to represent the element of water, a green witch to represent the element of earth, and a divination witch to represent the element of air must gather and sing the Ballad. Agatha wanted to kill entire coven every time and not leave any witnesses, so she preferred to attract only the most desperate witches who had no other hope, because of it the Ballad stated that after accessing the Witches' Road, the coven then undergoes trials where the witches must face their fears under the very real threat of death, but those who can finish the Road will find what they want the most or what they are missing. Since the Witches' Road wasn't real, once the coven gathered and performed the Ballad naturally no door to the Road appeared. Agatha then berated the witches and blamed them for being too weak and unworthy to get access to the Road, all in order to provoke them to attack her with magic so she could absorb their powers and kill them. Over the next centuries thanks to the Ballad Agatha managed to attract and kill countless desperate witches.; In 1978, Lorna Wu and the Coral Shores released a cover of the Ballad of the Witches' Road that became the most well-known version. This altered version of the Ballad was meant to protect her daughter from the fiery touch of their familial generational curse. With her audience as her coven, fans playing Lorna's version of the Ballad continued to protect Alice into adulthood.; In 2026 to open a portal to the Witches' Road, Agatha Harkness and "Teen" gathered a coven consisting of Madame Lilia Calderu, Jennifer Kale, and Alice Wu-Gulliver. Lacking a green witch, Agatha also recruited Sharon Davis under dubious circumstances. Together, the five sang the Ballad of the Witches' Road. Although the spell initially appeared not to work, a door did materialize at the feet of the coven allowing them an entrance to the Witches' Road as a subconscious manifestation of Billy's desires much to the shock of Agatha.; As part of the second trial of the Witches' Road, Alice and the coven performed Lorna's version of the Ballad to vanquish the generational curse stalking the Wu family. ============================================================ Banshee Mask Kind: item Page: Banshee Mask Formal name: Banshee Mask Type: Technology; Spaceship First appearance: Rampaging Hulk Vol 1 5 Created by: Doug Moench; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Bereet Place of creation: Krylor Current owner: Bereet Properties: When worn, the mask merges with the wearer transmuting into a warp-capable spaceship.

History: Beauty X Pore Magic was a type of age-defying cream developed by Polly Devereux and her partner's family. It's key ingredients included bits of human DNA extracted from the blood of John Warshaw's victims. Polly had first discovered this cream years prior when she snuck into her boyfriend's home in order to find the cream his mother had been using to make her skin so smooth and youthful after meeting her for the first time when Ophelia was working as a fortune teller in Portsmouth. When she found it, she was astonished at the quick results and how it completely erased her pores. Polly then found information that indicated that Ophelia was immortal and Ophelia's husband, John Warshaw, was a serial killer. She used this information to blackmail them into helping her create her line of beauty products based on the formula.; Polly marketed this product, and her Visage Magic Serum, on her private Instagram account and would post videos of her trying on her products. She'd amassed a substantial following before eventually a woman named Clara DM'd her and told her that she'd had the products tested since there was no FDA information on them and said she'd discovered human remains from multiple people in them. She threatened to turn this information over to the authorities unless Polly could confirm this was some kind of mistake and that'd she take the products off the market until they look into it. Polly then was able to find Clara's home address through her Instagram photos and blackmail her into staying silent.; Years after being forced to shut down her previous account in fear of getting arrested, Polly started up a new Instagram account while going under the alias Perfect Peach. She would test other people's products while using a filter to disguise her real face. She'd received another Direct Message from a user named Jodie who'd asked if she was the same content creator who'd made the Beauty X Pore Magic cream all those years ago. She'd asked if she could buy some off of her since no other product worked as well as it did. She said she'd be willing to pay any price for it. She didn't end up sending her anything but it inspired her to begin working on a new project that she could sell to her customers, an app named Miranda that transferred the perceived imperfections of one user onto an unwilling host.; Polly would later alter Beauty X by having John use Ophelia's DNA for the samples. She tested them on two twins named Lark and Fox Randall who were visiting from the U.S. to see their father. Polly had tricked their father, Sebastian Randall, into letting her use his basement for her experiments and launching the Miranda app. She gave the twins the face cream to take home, and when they went back to the states, their behavior began changing. They started acting unlike themselves and developed an obsession with 80s pop culture. Their mother, Amber Randall, noticed and hired Jessica Jones to investigate them and what might've caused this while on their trip. She traveled to Barton Wallop where they'd stayed and found where Ophelia (going under the identity Debra Phipps) had been staying, along with the girl the twins had hung out with while on their trip, "Belle". Jessica realized that Belle was actually a kidnapped girl named Grace Partridge, so after some initial reluctance, she broke into the home they were at and tried to save her, but she was stopped when Ophelia used some of Beauty X to subdue Jessica, making her more docile. Jessica woke up feeling "perfect" and with smoother skin than ever before. She was eventually able to break free of the mind controlling face cream and have Ophelia arrested.; When she returned back to the states, she visited Lark and Fox and told them the truth of what had happened while they were away. They'd both run out of the face cream so they were no longer under its control. When they left for school, Jessica snuck into Lark's room and a nearly empty can of the product and confiscated it. She took it to the boyfriend of her neighbor Julius, who worked as a pharmaceutical engineer and who could analyze the material. He did so and called her back informing her of his findings. His technicians had discovered traces of human adrenchrome and neuronal cells. Jessica used this evidence to help get Polly Devereux arrested after she'd launched her app and caused people's physical imperfections to disappear but at the expense of two teenage girls who were being used as the conduits for the app.; While what happened to the remaining Beauty X afterwards is unclear, it can be assumed that no more batches were ever made after Polly and Arthur's arrest and the death of Arthur's parents. ============================================================ Awful Arm of Azathoth Kind: item Page: Awful Arm of Azathoth Formal name: Awful Arm of Azathoth Type: Spell First appearance: Venom Vol 5 24 Created by: Al Ewing; Sergio Dávila Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Spell Current owner: Doctor Doom Previous owners: Cynthia von Doom Properties: The "Awful Arm of Azathoth" summoned a massive purpled-haired five-fingered right arm with a hand with black claws/nails, that would restrain the target of the spell.; Breaking two fingers of the hand would force the Awful Arm of Azathoth to retreat. Notes: It remains unrevealed if the "Awful Arm of Azathoth" actually manifests an arm of Azathoth, or if the spell is merely named after him. History: The Awful Arm of Azathoth is a spell summoning a giant arm to restrain a target.; This spell was possibly taught to Doctor Doom by his mother.; When Eddie Brock, the King in Black, came to Castle Doom to steal Doctor Doom's Time Platform, Doom summoned the Awful Arm of Azathoth in an attempt to restrain him. Eddie managed to force the Awful Arm of Azathoth to retreat by breaking his fingers, before confronting Doom. ============================================================ Black Knight's Power Lance Kind: item Page: Black Knight's Power Lance Formal name: Black Knight's Power Lance Type: Spear First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 52 Created by: Stan Lee; Dick Ayers Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Nathan Garrett Additional designers: Dane Whitman Place of creation: Balkan Mountains Previous owners: Black Knight (Nate Garrett), Black Knight (Dane Whitman) Properties: The Black Knight's principal weapon was his atomic-powered Power Lance, which was rigged with a number of offensive technological devices.; Thermal Beam: The lance could emit an acetylene-based heat beam intense enough to melt through a two-foot thick steel wall at fifty feet within seconds.; Ionic Energy Blast: The lance could emit powerful electrical charges that could disable electronics.; Force Blast: The lance could project electro-magnetic concussive beams of charged alpha particles exerting a concussive force sufficient to blast through a foot-thick wall of cinderblocks at fifty feet in four seconds. The maximum effective range of the power blaster was about 100 feet.; Bolo Cables: The lance contained two spools of eight-inch thick' conductive steel cable, fifty feet in length, which the Knight sometimes attached to bolo bells. The firing mechanism was a linear accelerator (magnetic cannon), which shot the cable through the lance, Especially when connected to bolo balls, the ends of the cable were weighted in such a way that the cable tended to wrap around a person or object like a bolo.; Lasso: The lance could fire a rope as a lasso.; Machine Gun: On at least one occasion, the Knight concealed a .45 caliber machine gun within his lance.; Buzz Discs: The Knight could use the lance to fire red-hot spinning metal discs as weapons.; Sappers: The Knight could use the lance to fire super-heated metal "doughnuts" which affixed themselves to objects and drained electrical energy from them. History: This innocent looking lance is in reality a most deadly arsenal of weapons: the Black Knight could fire all sorts of missiles from this dangerous weapon.; He used it to fire whirling bolas against Thor, but he knocked the lance from his hand before the bolas could wrap around him. Thor's Mjolnir also easily deflected any projectiles fired from the lance.; In the next battle against the Avengers, the Black Knight used his invincible lance's guard, enlarged by the atmospheric pressure, as a giant whirling disc with sharp edges. The whirlpool caused the Avengers' jet to spin towards the wheel, but Thor eventually managed to shatter it with his hammer.; The unearthly energy of Thor's swinging hammer trapped the Black Knight and Melter in a dimensional space warp, where certain natural laws were reversed, so that the attack with the atomic lance had no effect. ============================================================ Black Blade of Baghdad Kind: item Page: Black Blade of Baghdad Formal name: Black Blade of Baghdad Type: Sword First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 32 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Jon Bogdanove Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Black Raazer History: The Black Blade of Baghdad can sap a victim's life force and make them shrink in height. It can cut through most materials. ============================================================ Black Mirror Kind: item Page: Black Mirror Formal name: Black Mirror Type: Mirror First appearance: Tomb of Dracula Vol 1 3 Created by: Archie Goodwin; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Doctor Strange; Lords of the Golden Dragon; Marie Laveau; Tina Minoru and Robert Minoru Dimensions: Variable Properties: Teleportation: The Black Mirror is a mystical mirror that allows individuals to view or to teleport to other dimensions, times, or realities. Notes: It appears that the Black Mirror can alter its size. History: The Black Mirror was a powerful magical relic of the Laveau family. In 1428, Jacquette Laveau planned to use the Mirror to summon Valtorr and thus save her Coven from persecution. Upon learning that it would kill all non-magical users on the planet, Agatha Harkness shattered the Mirror. This interrupted the ritual, though Valtorr's price of Corina has already been paid.; The Black Mirror eventually came into possession of Jacquette's descendatn Marie Laveau. She allowed Captain Marvel to use the Black Mirror to explore the past.; The Black Mirror was used by Doctor Strange to search for Clea and Wong.; At some point, the Black Mirror was taken by Tina and Robert Minoru for use of their search into their heritage. Shocked by what they found, the Minorus sealed the mirror to prevent others from using it. After the Minorus' deaths, Marie Laveau retook possession of the mirror and tricked Nico Minoru into opening it. Nico inadvertently broke the mirror, allowing Laveau to retrieve the Parchment of Power that was hidden behind it.; The Black Mirror was later found whole again in the Laveau crypt in New Orleans. Agatha Harkness was influenced by Corina/Korrosion into guiding young Zoe Laveau to it. Korrosion planned to use Zoe to unleash an apocalypse, but Zoe shattered the mirror with the Axe of Angarruumus, sending Korrosion back to her dimension. ============================================================ Bio-Energy Sentinel Kind: item Page: Bio-Energy Sentinel Formal name: Bio-Energy Sentinel Other aliases: "big; weird; glowing monster"; "the energy monster"; "this big; weird-colored colored thing with a red eye"; "the energy creature". Type: Robot First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 2 7 Created by: Steve Seagle; Scott Clark Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Department H, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Previous owners: Department H Properties: The Bio-Energy Sentinels have the ability to carry matter as well as the ability to render themselves and that matter intangible. Notes: According to Basil Kilgrew, the creation of the Bio-Energy Sentinel is connected to a person called Patrice Trask. Trask may have been intended to be a new character for Alpha Flight Vol 2, but the subplot was dropped by writer Steven T. Seagle and the character remains unseen. History: The Bio-Energy Sentinels are a product of Department H designed to control the movement of members of Alpha Flight. They seem to be only slightly sentient in that they can follow orders. There has never been more than one sentinel seen at one time, indicating there may be only one. No explanation has been given to the Alphans as to the nature of the BES.; The sentinels seem to be composed entirely of energy. There is a single eye-like part of each sentinel, through which they spy on people. ============================================================ Bifrost Kind: item Page: Bifrost Formal name: Bifrost Other aliases: Asgardian Bifrost; Bifrost Bridge; Bifrost Garden; Rainbow Bridge Type: Structure First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 85 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Architect of the Bifrost Place of creation: City of Asgard, Realm of Asgard Place of destruction: Old Asgard, Realm of Asgard Current owner: Sif Previous owners: Daredevil; Heimdall; Architect of the Bifrost Alternate owners: Thor Odinson History: ===Origin===; The Bifrost was built by an unnamed wizard who was studying traveling across planes.; ===Modern Era===; The Avengers from Earth were the first-ever mortals to stand upon the Bifrost. It was shattered following the events of Ragnarok.; After the War of the Realms, the Bifrost shards were used to rebuild it as the Bifrost Garden, with the Watchtower Tree acting as its heart. During a battle between Iron Man and the Hulk, Thor was transformed into a gamma mutate as a colateral damage of a gargantuan explosion caused by Hulk. Sif attempted to teleport Thor to Asgard to help him, but Thor resisted Sif's efforts, leading to the Bifrost's destruction. The shards of the Bifrost were collected by M.O.D.O.K., who merged with them to become M.Y.T.H.O.S. and used its power to warp reality, making himself the master of the Ten Realms. M.Y.T.H.O.S. was eventually defeated by Thor, returning the shards of the Bifrost to Asgard's space, where it was later repaired by Loki with the Wand of Wutevar, stronger than before according to Sif. However as Loki conjured the Bifrost, its opposite, the Black Bridge also appeared. After the Black Bridge was destroyed by Skurge with the Bloodaxe, the Bifrost was also destroyed as result. Because of Asgard losing any connection it had with Midgard, Earth lost all memories it had of the Asgardians' presence, relegating them back to simple myths.; Clear ============================================================ Billingsfield-McNabb 239(KC) (Earth-8311) Kind: item Page: Billingsfield-McNabb 239(KC) Formal name: Billingsfield-McNabb 239(KC) Other aliases: Billingsfield-McNabb 239(KC) swing-load jaguarmatic with spin-relief manual interchange and blowback overfeed Type: Firearm First appearance: Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham Vol 1 13 Created by: Mike Mellor Reality: Earth-8311 Current owner: S.H.E.E.P.

Lovecraft. History: The Bifrösticon was a tome of Asgardian forbidden knowledge that Loki found in a stack of grimoires he should not have been searching around, who gave him to Thor to help him in his search of the Bifrost, eventually leading him to it and Heimdall. ============================================================ Berserker Staff (Earth-199999; Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Berserker Staff Formal name: Berserker Staff Type: Staff First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 8 Created by: Monica Owusu-Breen Reality: Earth-199999; Earth-12041 Origin: Asgardian Place of creation: Asgard Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D.; Odin Previous owners: Elliot Randolph; Norse Paganist Hate Group; Jakob Nystrom; Petra Larsen; Hulk Trivia: Among the inscriptions along the side of the staff are several words written in Asgardian. These words are translated into English as "CONQUER", "INSPIRE", "RAGE", "FIGHT", "WAR" and "POWER" History: In ancient times, when Asgardians visited Earth to wage war, granting their berserker warriors a staff that granted them uncontrollable rage and superhuman strength by drawing on the wielder's darkest memories. An Asgardian warrior, later known as Elliot Randolph, grew to dislike the power the staff granted and upon staying on Earth, broke it into three pieces and hid them across Europe. However, he ended up telling a tale of the staff to a story-loving woman, whose priest brother wrote up a legend, inspiring people to spend centuries searching for the staff.; By 2012, a Norse pagan hate group led by Jakob Nystrom and Petra Larsen, believing that reassembling the staff would make them gods, discovered the first piece of the staff in an old tree in Norway. Petra touched the piece and assaulted a park ranger, drawing the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. who sent Agent Phil Coulson's team to investigate. Coulson consulted Randolph, who was a professor on Norse mythology. Randolph gave S.H.I.E.L.D. a false lead in Bathen Island while he recovered the second piece from under a church in Seville. He ran into Agent Grant Ward, who accidentally touched the piece and recalled his darkest memory where he failed to save a boy from drowning in a well. Randolph nearly made a clean getaway with the piece, only for the hate group to steal it from him.; After determining his identity as a Asgardian, Randolph was convinced by Coulson to lead his team to the final piece in a church in Ireland. Unfortunately, Jakob got to it first after torturing the resident priests into giving its location and used it to impale Randolph in the heart. Ward grabbed the piece and battled the hate group, managing to incapacitate Jakob. But when he became too strained to continue using it, Melinda May reassembled the two staff piece and after knocking out Petra, attached the third piece. S.H.I.E.L.D. then took custody of the staff.; The staff was taken into the Fridge, where it was later captured by Hydra. It was used by Hydra in an ambush against Coulson's team, along with Centipede soldiers. However Agent May was able to acquire the staff once again, and used it to defeat the super soldiers. Along with the soldiers the staff was caught in a cave-in while Coulson's team escaped. ============================================================ Bio-Feedback Harness Kind: item Page: Bio-Feedback Harness Formal name: Bio-Feedback Harness Type: Technology First appearance: Web of Spider-Man Vol 1 109 Created by: Joey Cavalieri; Rurik Tyler Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Genetech Current owner: Night Thrasher; Spider-Man Version: Prototype History: A bio-feedback harness was used by Spider-Man and Night Thrasher to save Shocker's life. ============================================================ Biocode Installer (Earth-14042) Kind: item Page: Biocode Installer Formal name: Biocode Installer Other aliases: Case Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers Season 1 2 Created by: Morio Hatano; King Ryū Reality: Earth-14042 Lead designer: Professor Nozomu Akatsuki Additional designers: Tony Stark Previous owners: Akira Akatsuki History: The Biocode Installer is a device used to print a Biocode into a person's body in order to allow them to use the DISKs. Originally, there were five Biocode Installers, but four of them were destroyed by the Celebrity Five, and the last one was damaged by M.O.D.O.K.'s laser. While normally the Biocode Installer imbues the individual with the ability to use a DISK and release its occupant indefinitely, when the last remaining Biocode Installer was damaged before use by M.O.D.O.K., it resulted in the transfer of what is called a Limited Biocode to the users. This prevents them from using DISKs of more than one type and also means that the occupant of the DISK can only be released for three hundred and thirty three seconds at a time, or five and a half minutes, before requiring a six hour period to recharge.; Near the end of the series, when Nozomu Akatsuki returns from the Dark Dimension and is saved from Dormammu's influence, he builds a new Biocode Installer to give Nick Fury a complete biocode. ============================================================ Bio-Synthetic Wings Kind: item Page: Bio-Synthetic Wings Formal name: Bio-Synthetic Wings Other aliases: Wasp Wings Type: Flight Harness First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 44 Created by: Ernie Hart; Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Designed by Hank Pym to allow Janet Van Dyne to use Pym Particles to alter her size. Lead designer: Dr. Henry Pym Additional designers: Janet Van Dyne Place of creation: Pym Labs Current owner: Janet Van Dyne; Nadia Pym Previous owners: Dr. Henry Pym Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable History: ===Origin===; Dr. Henry Pym created Bio-Synthetic Wings to accompany Wasp's Suit and implanted them in the shoulder blades of Janet Van Dyne. These are functional when she reduces herself in size using Pym Particles, and can remain so until reaching a height that is a nearly foot shorter than her normal size. Her flight speed can also allow her to gain a form of superhuman reflexes and agility, being able to easily evade targets and attacks.; Following the attack by A.I.M on G.I.R.L. and the subsequent manic episode it caused her, Nadia Van Dyne created a set of special G.I.R.L. badges that, upon using their special passcode, would grant each member a set of wings so that they could try to escape if possible. ============================================================ Black Knight Armor Kind: item Page: Black Knight Armor Formal name: Black Knight Armor Type: Magical Armor First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 52 Created by: Stan Lee; Dick Ayers Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Arthurian; Otherworld Lead designer: Nathan Garrett Additional designers: Dane Whitman Current owner: Dane Whitman Previous owners: Nathan Garrett Dimensions: +7 inches to wearer's height Weight: +60 lbs to wearer's weight History: As the Black Knight, Nathan Garrett wore a lightweight full-body suit of electrically-insulated steel-alloy chainmail that protects him from projectiles like 45-caliber bullets at close range. Also, his helmet visor could emit a bright light to blind foes temporarily. The suit weighed about 60 pounds.; When Dane Whitman became the Black Knight, he initially wore an improved version of his uncle's armor, which presumably kept many of the same specifications. Years later, Dane was provided an enchanted suit of armor by the Lady of the Lake. Extremely light, the suit was magically impervious to most forms of penetration or harm, due to its construction in Avalon. ============================================================ Bend Sinister Kind: item Page: Bend Sinister Formal name: Bend Sinister Type: Artifact First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 14 Created by: Denny O'Neil; Frank Miller Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Lucius Dilby History: Mystic confluence allows evil to triumph once every 60,000 years.

Defeated by Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. ============================================================ Biokinetic Polymer Suit Kind: item Page: Biokinetic Polymer Suit Formal name: Biokinetic Polymer Suit Other aliases: Ms. Marvel's Suit Type: Suit First appearance: All-New Marvel NOW! Point One Vol 1 1.NOW Created by: G. Willow Wilson; Jamie McKelvie Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by Bruno Carrelli Lead designer: Bruno Carrelli Additional designers: Kamala Khan Place of creation: Coles Academic High School, Jersey City, New Jersey, United States of America Current owner: Kamala Khan Previous owners: Bruno Carrelli Material: Polymoprhic adaptive cotton Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: When the polymer, or "super snot", is applied to a flexible substance, the substance becomes extremely malleable. The increased elasticity allows Kamala to focus less on transforming her clothing during her metamorphoses. Unfortunately, the suit is highly susceptible to damage by exposure to water. Notes: Kamala described the suit as being made of polymorphic adaptive cotton. History: The Biokinetic Polymer Suit was invented by Bruno Carrelli as part of his scholarship application to Rutgers University. He gave the suit to his friend Kamala Khan to help with hero heroics.; After discovering her mutant lineage and joining the X-Men, Kamala Khan redesigned her biokinetic polymer suit to resemble an X-Uniform. Ms. Marvel donned the suit while at Empire State University to help temper the anti-mutant sentiment spread by Orchis, but doing so resulted in her receiving anti-mutant backlash. ============================================================ Bio-Enhancer Kind: item Page: Bio-Enhancer Formal name: Bio-Enhancer Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four vs. the X-Men Vol 1 3 Created by: Chris Claremont; John Bogdanove Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom, mostly a developer of weapons, also built a number of non-offensive devices including the Bio-Enhancer. The Bio-Enhancer is a medical device to stimulate a person's natural healing process to the utmost. The subject is made to lay in a table, then the machine bombs him or her with energy to boost cell reproduction and metabolic rates. The Bio-Enhancer also restores any problem in an injured limb, including massive damage in tissue and even heals scars. The Bio-Enhancer is unable to heal diseases or poisons, but it heals damage from almost any possible attack. Other people can be near the machine while in use, suffering no adverse effect.; Doom used this device once on Storm of the X-Men, who had been injured in her left arm by the Jonathan Storm. In a matter of hours, Storm was walking again; that same night, she was recovered enough for a training duel. Storm's mate Psylocke, skeptical of Doom's motives, believed that Doom may had shared the device with the world to save a number of lives. ============================================================ Black Bifrost Kind: item Page: Black Bifrost Formal name: Black Bifrost Other aliases: Black Bridge; Black Bifrost Bridge Type: Structure First appearance: Mighty Thor Vol 2 14 Created by: Jason Aaron; Steve Epting Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Malekith the Accursed Additional designers: Loki Place of creation: Svartalfheim Place of destruction: Svartalfheim Previous owners: Freyja; Bitterhand; Dark Elves; Dark Council; Malekith the Accursed Properties: Teleportation History: The Black Bifrost was created by the Dark Elves based on the secrets of Bifrost that Loki shared with them. It was powered by magical crystalized mushrooms mined by the Dark Elves in their realm, and it was controlled from Svartalfheim by Bitterhand using the Bitterblade.; In order to stop Malekith's forces from ambushing them again, Freyja put together a team consisting of herself, Punisher; Blade; She-Hulk, and Ghost Rider to destroy it. After fighting their way through an army, the strike team arrived at the Black Bifrost and began assaulting it, but at the same moment, the other Bifrost was destroyed, and with no way to get back to Asgard, they had to use the Black Bifrost instead, so Freyja stole the Bitterblade from Bitterhand and killed him with it. Freyja with her new dark magic powers then sent her teammates to the other realms victimized by the War of the Realms in order to gather allies for a last stand against the Dark Council.; After bringing them all back to Midgard along with Thor; Captain America; Spider-Man; Wolverine; Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, Freyja attempted to destroy the Black Bifrost, but was wounded by Malekith. Odin arrived and together they fought off the army before being overpowered, destroying the Black Bifrost. ============================================================ Bindings of the Demon K'Hur Kind: item Page: Bindings of the Demon K'Hur Formal name: Bindings of the Demon K'Hur Type: Artifact First appearance: Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme Vol 1 1 Created by: Robbie Thompson; Javier Rodriguez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Nina the Conjuror History: The Bindings of the Demon K'Hur are a pair of magical items owned by Nina the Conjuror. Kushala the Demon Rider recognized the bindings and used her powers to charge them and Nina's magic, allowing her to fly. ============================================================ Black Sea Scrolls Kind: item Page: Black Sea Scrolls Formal name: Black Sea Scrolls Type: Magical Books First appearance: Marvel Premiere Vol 1 4 Created by: Roy Thomas Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Scrolls of dark knowledge Notes: The Black Sea Scrolls are seemingly inspired by the Dead Sea Scrolls, and by books of ancient knowledge and horrors within the Cthulhu Mythos, such as the Necronomicon, the Celeano Fragment, Nameless Cults or the Pnakotic Manuscripts, among others. History: The Black Sea Scrolls were one of many books mentioned, along with the Thanatosian Tomes or von Junzt's Nameless Cults, to contain knowledge on a cosmic obscenity that slumber: Shuma-Gorath and the Old Ones; and on the cults and lost races that wait for the end of that slumber.; The Black Sea Scrolls have an uncertain relation to the Dead Sea Scrolls and to the People of the Black Sea Dimension.; ==Content==; The Black Sea Scrolls contained information on Shuma Gorath. ============================================================ Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing Formal name: Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing Type: Hologram; Technology First appearance: Captain America: Civil War Created by: Anthony Russo; Joe Russo; Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Quentin Beck Previous owners: Tony Stark; Stark Industries; Quentin Beck History: The device that would become known as Binarily Augmented Retro-Framing (or B.A.R.F.) was developed by Stark Industries engineer Quentin Beck for a reported $611 million. The machine links to its user's mind to generate hyper-realistic holographic environments drawn from the user's memories or imaginings. Not long after the device had been developed, Beck was fired from Stark Industries for "instability", but Tony Stark kept the device, dubbing it B.A.R.F. (much to Beck's aggravation) and using it as a therapeutic device to facilitate the reprocessing of traumatic memories. Beck despised his invention's silly name and that it would be used for something as "wasteful" as therapy, and he would hold this grudge against his former employer for years to come.; Tony Stark debuted B.A.R.F. at M.I.T. when he announced the new September Foundation Grant. During the demonstration, Tony relived a slightly altered version of his last interaction with his father and mother before their deaths.; After Stark's death, Beck, accompanied by several other disgruntled former Stark employees, stole back an upgraded version of B.A.R.F. to use in his campaign to supplant Stark as "Earth's Best Defender". Using holographic illusions of monsters called "Elementals" to conceal drones and pyrotechnics, Beck and his crew attacked several cities around the world. Beck (or more often, a holographic copy of Beck) would soon after arrive on the scene to "defeat" the "monster".; Beck and company attacked a village in Mexico, an unknown location in Morocco, the waterways of Italy, and a carnival in the Czech Republic. Over the course of the attacks, Beck earned the trust of the man posing as Nick Fury and friendship of the young Peter Parker, who gave Beck the nom de guerre "Mysterio". However, Beck was conspiring to kill "Fury" (the most likely person to discover his ruse) and only bonded with Peter because the boy had inherited a useful AI from the late Tony Stark which Beck intended to use for his fifth and final attack.; Peter discovered Beck's treachery when his classmate MJ found a stray projector used in the Prague attack. Spider-Man went to warn Fury of Beck's true nature, but Mysterio intercepted him in an elaborate ambush. Fooling Peter into believing he was in Fury's office, Beck "killed" the holographic Fury and used the holograms to bring to life several of Peter's worst anxieties and fears. Mysterio then dropped the second layer of the illusion and created another holographic Fury, who "rescued" Spider-Man from the torment and asked Parker who else knew about Beck's lies. After Peter listed his classmates Ned, MJ, and Betty, Mysterio dropped the third layer of the illusion. After a half-hearted apology to Parker, he finally revealed to Peter his actual surroundings - the path of a bullet train that quickly ran Peter over. Assuming the boy to be dead, Beck made arrangements for his final attack on London, during which he also planned to kill Ned, MJ, Betty, the man he believed to be Fury, and the woman he believed to be Maria Hill.; "Fury" quickly realized something was amiss in the London attack when the "dead" Elementals all suddenly re-appeared and fused into an even nastier monster. This was confirmed by a coded message from Happy Hogan and Peter Parker, who'd survived the train and was on his way to defeat Beck and rescue his friends. As Mysterio and Spider-Man fought, Spider-Man damaged enough of the illusion drones that Mysterio was forced to drop the illusion and make the drones visible to the city. Mysterio used B.A.R.F. for the final time in an attempt to shoot Spider-Man in the head, but using his Spider-Sense, Peter detected it and dodged.; The confusing turn of events made the London attack a difficult news story to cover, as Mysterio was now dead and Spider-Man did not have a publicly-known identity. One week later, a video seemingly filmed by Beck was sent to TheDailyBugle.net, a sensationalist news website. The video presented the situation such that Mysterio had successfully defeated the Elemental fusion, and that the swarm of attack drones were the doing of a deranged Spider-Man, who murdered Mysterio so as not to have any competition in becoming Earth's new most-loved superhero. With little other reliable information to work from, this became the generally accepted narrative of the London attack. ============================================================ Black Lotus (Flower) Kind: item Page: Black Lotus (Flower) Formal name: Black Lotus Other aliases: Black Lotus of Xuthal; Dream-Flower (Xuthal strain) Type: Plant First appearance: Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 4 Created by: Robert E.

Howard in "The Slithering Shadow" (Weird Tales; September, 1933), and is an element present in the Cthulhu Mythos.Black Lotus at the H.P. Lovecraft Wiki Trivia: In "Black Lotus and Yellow Death", the final chapter of the adaptation of the novel Conan and the Sorcerer by Andrew J. Offutt, there is no Black Lotus, but instead only Yellow Lotus. History: ===Description===; The black lotus was a rare, mysterious, and deadly flower, whose pollen and flowers were poisonous.; The flowers had dark blossoms. The powder made from black lotus was yellow and produced a yellow, green-yellow, or light-blue cloud.; It grew in the Lost Jungle of Khitai, in certain pits of Xuthal in the Southern Desert of Kush, near the City of the Winged One close to the Zarkheba River, and in the Black Lotus Swamp of Stygia.; ===Properties and Use===; The black lotus was used for various purposes:; The juice induced death, as did inhaling a powder made from the black lotus. Some sturdy specimens could survive a lethal dose of black lotus extract, such as Conan, who entered a state of nightmares-haunted death-like slumber.; Though the powder was designed to kill, the right amount could simply paralyze the target instead of killing it),; "Black lotus dream" and sedation: Its scent brought dream-haunted slumber, and lethargy (the "finest concentrated essence" caused a sensation of burning throat), while the blossoms could also be used to make a sleeping powder.; It could also induce hallucinations: The juice from the black lotus grown in Xuthal was used as an (addictive) recreative drug, inducing gorgeous and fantastic dreams (while causing the body to sleep like the dead, without the slightest sign of life), while a potent extract of black lotus pollen induced nightmarish visions along with a progressive loss of the subject's hold on reality with each successive dose.; Lotus Root of the black lotus drive mad the users.; The powder of the black lotus was cast into a cloud by blowing it through a tube, while the sleeping powder was mixed into a beverage and the potent pollen extract inducing nightmarish visions was cast in a fire. The Brotherhood of the Falcon used a hawk with a lethal dose of black lotus extract.; ===Early Hyborian Age===; The black lotus grown by the people was cultivated it for ages until its juice induced fantastic dreams instead of death. By the Age of Conan, they spent most of their time dreaming thru the drug, and the people of Xuthal were considered to be addicted to it.; ===Hyborian Age of Conan===; Stygia exported expensive drugs made from the black lotus.; Taurus of Nemedia, prince of thieves, used all his stash of a powder made from the black lotus to silently kill a pack of lions.; While Conan and Valeria were in Xuchotl, Yasala attempted to drug Valeria using the black lotus, possibly on Tascela's instructions.; While infiltrating his tower to steal the Eye of Erlik, Conan was paralized by its owner, Hissar Zul who used a precise and moderate amount of the black lotus powder.; Zaporavo, pirate captain of the Wastrel, sometimes used a sleeping powder made from the blossom of the black lotus. His mate Sancha used a vial of that powder to drug Conan and his crew.; The Umiank tribes in the Far-Borth reaches possessed Lotus Root of the black lotus. When Conan's crew mutineed against him and started abusing the locals that had saved them after they shipwrecked, the mutineers found the Lotus Root and started ingesting it, unaware they were consuming black lotus, driving them mad. Eventually, they slayed each other in greed and madness, and Conan spared the last one alive, Dhugar, now completely insane.; The Brotherhood of the Falcon used a hawk with a lethal dose of black lotus extract to assassinate Conan, though he miraculously survived. ============================================================ Black Magic (Book) Kind: item Page: Black Magic (Book) Formal name: Black Magic Type: Magical Book First appearance: Tower of Shadows Vol 1 1 Created by: Jim Steranko Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Lou Fowler Previous owners: Lou Fowler's uncle Notes: In addition to its title, the name "Faust" (perhaps the author or editor of the book) is inscribed on its spine.

Vol 3 1 Created by: Mark Waid; Carlos Pacheco Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of destruction: Dark Dimension Previous owners: Dormammu; Mys-Tech Properties: When properly applied, it puts the person affected by it under the control of the Lord of the Dark Dimension, slowly turning them into one of the Mindless Ones through a "Mindless Plague." This plague affects the most intelligent people in the vicinity first, and works its way down the area's intellect to control all, regardless of their mystical potential.; However, the substance is also capable of bypassing any spell or other magical defense, with any who manipulate the mystic arts being vulnerable.; While under its thrall, Heimdall came under influence from a malignant possessing entity housed within the element. Empowering his vessel with a jet black dynamism that enabled the possessor, enlarging him to gargatuan size and discharge said same energies to batter around the weakened heroes of Earth. History: Black Dechantment is a stone-like material that was acquired by Dormammu while "plumbing the depths of prehistory." A meteorite composed of it sent out into the Nine Realms, where it collided with the Bifrost, and a shard implanted itself in Heimdall's chest when he struck with Hofund, only to be removed when Vision phased through his torso to destroy the entire piece from within.; Mys-Tech was also granted a supply of the substance to create magical bullets for their assassin Ethan Slaughter, with Horguun to forging weapons to near-fatally wound Earth's mystics; for the slugs themselves were volatile enough to level cities if discharged from manmade firearms. Even after the destruction of most of them, Agent Leo Fitz was infected with the "Mindless Plague" and shot Scarlet Witch.; Only by going to the Dark Dimension were the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. able to stop the plague, using Absorbing Man's abilities to turn him into a being who could temporarily fight back very effectively against the magically empowered Dormammu, before he used his ball and chain to destroy the only known source of the material. ============================================================ Black Jewel Kind: item Page: Black Jewel Formal name: Black Jewel Type: Jewel First appearance: Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 118 Created by: J.M.

As such, its edge both blessed and cursed those who wielded it with incredible power, power stemming to incredible might and physical resilience to injury. The longer one wields the mystic steel, the greater its murderous influence becomes over the host. As indicated by the way said blade garbs its wearers in oriental garments and armor over time, they have it in their possession. Notes: The fate of the sword is unknown as the Silver Samurai was the last one known to have it in his possession, but he was not seen using it again.; The second Muramasa Blade was the one wielded by Wolverine after he recovered his memories. History: Muramasa was an immortal madman and a legendary and feared swordsmith and swordsman, who lived in Japan near Jasmine Falls, two of the blades he forged played an important role through Wolverine's history. The first blade was many centuries old and possessed a variety of mystical properties in and of itself as well as those it granted to its wielders, it was commonly known as the Black Blade.; The Black Blade was forged by Muramasa using a piece of his own soul and granted a number of superhuman physical attributes to the one who wielded it. Muramasa, who has been stated as being quite mad, also poured his madness into the blade. After wielding the sword for a period of time, the wielder would slowly be overcome by the sword's influence.; Wolverine wielded the sword briefly and quickly fell under its influence. Wolverine managed to reassert his will over the sword just as he was about to kill the Silver Samurai and Jessica Drew and threw the sword into a wall. The Silver Samurai pulled the sword from the wall and, apparently, was chosen as its fated master. The Samurai noted that the sword was controlled by a person as equally driven as the sword itself. ============================================================ Black Book of Bast Kind: item Page: Black Book of Bast Formal name: Black Book of Bast Type: Magical Books First appearance: Uncanny Tales Vol 1 14 Created by: Joe Sinnott Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Miles Keston History: Book of black magic, which described how to kill a person by piercing a puppet with his appearance.

Mister Fantastic repurposed the Big Bang Cannons to resequence Galactus' subatomic structure, freeing him from Mount Doom. ============================================================ Bio-Sensor Kind: item Page: Bio-Sensor Formal name: Bio-Sensor Type: Technology First appearance: Avengers Annual Vol 1 14 Created by: Roger Stern; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull History: The bio-sensor was a Skrull device, about the size of an early 21st century tablet.

History: The axe was crafted by Skuttlebutt in an effort to keep Beta Ray Bill from being left unarmed during his journey to claim the Twilight Sword, a weapon that would serve as a replacement for the destroyed Stormbreaker and allow him to return to his original Korbinite form. Deep down, Skuttlebutt hoped to dissuade him from his desperate quest with this gift, but she didn’t succeed.; Bill wielded the axe to kill a pair of fire demons and a cephalopod monster. Then, he took it to the deepest level of Muspelheim and used it to challenge Surtur for the Twilight Sword.

History: The Bile of Satha was a sorcerous solvent, possibly the actual bile of Satha, another name of Set.; The Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) had access to the Bile of Satha in great supply, and could conjure it. She used it to destroy a brick of the Bricklayer in the subway beneath Hell's Kitchen. As the Sorcerer Supreme, she used it to attack and repel Dormammu as he attempted an incursion from Manhattan. ============================================================ Black Bridge Kind: item Page: Black Bridge Formal name: Black Bridge Type: Structure First appearance: Immortal Thor Vol 1 6 Created by: Al Ewing; Martin Coccolo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of destruction: River Vimur History: The Black Bridge appeared over the River Vimur before a young Thor and Loki, who crossed it and reached Utgard.; Centuries later, Loki conjured and repaired the destroyed Bifrost in Asgard, as its opposite, the Black Bridge also appeared. Gaea opened the gate of Utgard and released the Utgard-Gods upon Midgard, coming into conflict with Thor. The Black Bridge reappeared over the River Vimur, allowing the Executioner and Thor to cross into Utgard. After Thor's quest and battle with the Utgard-Gods reached its climax, Skurge was tasked to wait at the Black Bridge and stop the Utgard-Gods if Thor failed.

Current owner: Natasha Romanoff; Yelena Belova Model: Unique History: Originally Natasha’s gauntlets were more akin to bracelets (actually they are called bracelets by the KGB), and they had no offensive purpose. Like Spider-Man’s web-shooters, they generated a piece of string for her to swing around on (a "Widow's Line"), but unlike Spider-Man's web-shooters, they couldn’t tie up enemies or incapacitate.; The gauntlets were later improved upon by the Widow when she had a sudden inspiration to try and find a way to combine Spider-Man's powers with her own abilities. She decided to abandon her old costume and design a new one, as part of her "rebirth." The newly designed gauntlets were described as shooting ropes and venom-sting bracelets.; It has been stated by Natasha that at times each gauntlet has weighed four kilos, leading her to almost blow her own hand off on one occasion and that the parts were difficult to replace especially while in the field.; The current gauntlets and the equipment it contains are upgraded and maintained by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Widow, by being the owner, herself. Natalia Romanoff uses a number of special equipment contained in her gauntlets:; Widow's Line - Retractable grappling hook and cable connected to the gauntlets, mostly used for rooftop gliding, rappelling and climbing up steep cliffs and hills.; Widow's Kiss - An aerosol instant knock-out drug, pioneered by Russian Spetsnaz. When used it appears to be purplish pink fumes that can knock out a person for more than twenty hours.; Widow's Bite - A high frequency electrostatic charge that also act as percussive energy blasts, that it effects can be felt for at least a month. It can deliver charges up to 30,000 volts. The "Bite" can be set to deliver minor shocks that causes stunning or high voltage currents that can be lethal.; Explosives - There are many types of explosives stored in the gauntlet which includes grenades and other types of explosives that can cause damage to an opponent.; Tear Gas Pellets - There is also tear in the gauntlet that can cause blindness when released. It can also cause the opponent to be knocked unconscious.; Radio Transmitter - This enable Widow to lock on to a target and track its every move. If placed on a moving vehicle like a car or bike, it enables Widow to track down their location.; == Alternate Realities ==; === Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999) ===; Black Widow's uses prototype gauntlets with electrical weapons, created by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Tech Directorate, that can deliver powerful shocks from two shaped bracelets for the Black Widow. They light up with blue lines when activated and allow their wielder to electrocute their enemy on contact. ============================================================ Bloodgem Kind: item Page: Bloodgem Formal name: Bloodgem Other aliases: Hellfire Helix; Jewel of Jeopardy; Bloodstone Type: Jewel First appearance: Marvel Presents Vol 1 1 Created by: John Warner; Mike Vosburg Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Elsa Bloodstone, Maha Yogi Previous owners: Ulysses Bloodstone; Deadpool; Daken; Frankencastle; Mordred Properties: Bloodgem fragments bestow unto their wielder's superhuman strength, durability, speed, reflexes, psychic power & ESP (in the case of Ulysses), stamina as well as immortality and a regenerative healing factor. All effects of which being proportionate to the strong sense of revenge lurking in the wielders heart. The stone can also be used to completely restore and regenerate a person to the point of spontaneous resurrection on top of giving them immunity to psychological obstructions caused by illusions or mental manipulation. As if to complement these protective abilities the jewel also makes users immune to vampiric infection or stymie and even reverse the detrimental effects of zombie afflictions, making their blood caustic to the undead. It can also serve as a means of suppressing malignant possessing entities that would otherwise overtake an unwitting host. Said relic can harness an odd form of crimson energy which the wielders can utilize in strange and unique means; the original handler Ulysses could focus his psionic powers gained from which through the buckshot in Bloodstone's musket, Elsa can discharge energy blasts through her hand where the Bloodstone occupies, they also enhance magical abilities within certain individuals who possess one such stone; like Maha Yogi or Mordred to either focus or amplify their arcana many times over. The power of the bloodstones posit arcane in nature, as Ulysses once said that magic is a lazy word for will of the user, their powers are potentially limitless as more and more of them culminate atop of one another. Allowing for a more direct appliance of their innate power; the stones also have a tendency of calling out to those who wield it in order to make itself whole and bestow its power on a worthy user. Sometimes nudging them to venture out towards its largest concentration or taking the form of something or someone they can trust and steadily bolstering the handlers abilities while in close proximity. Notes: Daken once possessed a Bloodstone fragment that he tore out of Frankencastle, which enhanced his mutant healing factor, but with adverse effects, such as tumors which would grow wherever he was wounded, until his father, Wolverine, tore it out of him. Trivia: Allegedly the Bloodstone was a piece of the Lifestone Tree. History: In the Hyborian Age, a meteorite landed on Earth in Northern Vanaheim on the European continent, circa 8250 BC. It was controlled by an entity called the Exo-Mind, who wanted to take over the world. To that end, it sent its agent, Ulluxy'l Kwan Tae Syn, to find a host for it. However a local human hunter/gatherer found the rock and fought Ulluxy'l Kwan Tae Syn. In the fight, the meteor was smashed and its fragments scattered. One of the fragments (also called the Bloodgem) was embedded in the human's chest, and the explosion killed the human's tribe. The human vowed revenge on Ulluxy'l Kwan Tae Syn. Because of the gem in his chest, he became immortal, and later became known as Ulysses Bloodstone.; The Bloodstone gem fragment was inherited by Ulysses' daughter Elsa, and a smaller portion was later given to his son Cullen.; A human mutate that would eventually be known as Maha Yogi also witnessed the Bloodgem's shattering and claimed one of the fragments for himself, called it the "Jewel of Jeopardy" and used it to attain immortality and enhance his magical talents. When the jewel was crushed by the Hulk, it caused Maha Yogi to age 10,000 years in an instant.; When Elsa Bloodstone confronted the Bone Beast Queen, the monster cursed her gem which began killing her. In order to save her, Deadpool tore the gem out of her and put it inside him. ============================================================ Bloodstones Kind: item Page: Bloodstones Formal name: Bloodstones Other aliases: Blood Stones; soul gems Type: Jewel First appearance: Ka-Zar the Savage Vol 1 12 Created by: Bruce Jones; Brent Anderson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Belasco Place of creation: Limbo Current owner: Belasco; Magik; Pixie Previous owners: Witchfire Notes: The first appearance of the Bloodstones was in Ka-Zar the Savage Vol 1 12 but they were merely called the "blood-red stones." They were first referred to as "Bloodstones" in Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 160 and that name was used in almost all of their subsequent appearances.; Oddly, a different term was used in two of the last comics in which they appeared. In New Mutants Vol 3 17, two people (including Illyana) referred to them as "soul gems" instead of "bloodstones" and, in New Mutants Vol 3 21, the terms "soul gems" and "bloodstones" were both used.; Nothing has ever been revealed about the origin of the first five Bloodstones possessed by Belasco. Although it's likely that he conjured them himself, this has never been confirmed.; Three Bloodstones are known to have been created from the soul of Illyana Rasputina during the seven years that she was trapped in Limbo. Of those three, Belasco created the first and the third, with Illyana herself creating the second.; Another Bloodstone was created on Earth from the soul of Kitty Pryde, but that Bloodstone apparently dissipated and its essence returned to her.; Another Bloodstone was created in Pangea by Belasco, using the soul of the Tree People girl Leila.; Two more Bloodstones were created in Limbo from the soul of Pixie (Megan Gwynn), the first by the recreation of Illyana known as the Darkchild, and the second by Witchfire (Ananym).; In all, twelve different Bloodstones appeared in stories published over the course of almost 30 years. Of those twelve, four were destroyed, one dissipated, and five were returned to Illyana and Pixie. Nothing has been revealed about what happened to the other two: the last of the original Bloodstones (last seen as part of Shanna's ring) and the one made from Leila's soul (last seen in Belasco's possession).; Given that having parts of their souls exist outside their bodies is a vulnerability, it seems likely that Illyana and Pixie would have taken steps to re-integrate their Bloodstones back into their souls. However, there don't seem to be any mentions of them having done so.; Although the Bloodstones that were created during the Black Sun limited series were also used in a pentagram to summon the N'Garai, they were significantly different from these Bloodstones. Not only were they much larger and ovoid in shape, each of them contained a person's entire soul, not just part of it. Once they were shattered by the Soulsword wielded by Magik (Jimaine Szardos), those souls immediately returned to the soulless bodies from which they had been taken, fully restoring those people to normal.; Although the mystical gem known as the Bloodgem has sometimes been called the Bloodstone in stories, there is no connection between it and these Bloodstones. History: In the late 13th century, the sorcerer Belasco obtained five Bloodstones which he planned to use to open an interdimensional passageway through which the Elder Gods he worshipped could invade Earth. After abducting a woman named Beatrice Portinari, whom he intended to make the mother of a demon-race he planned to father, Belasco sailed south to Pangea in Antarctica because his masters had told him that was where Mount Flavius, the perfect site upon which to carry out the spell, was located. For safekeeping, Belasco made Beatrice wear the incomplete pentagram that was part of the spell in a locket, but kept the final Bloodstone that would complete the spell on his person. However, this precaution backfired because, after Beatrice died in childbirth, Belasco attempted to retrieve the locket with the other four Bloodstones from her body, but discovered that it had been lost somewhere within the ancient Atlantean amusement ride through which they had been traveling on their way to the mountain.; Seven hundred years later, Shanna the She-Devil found the locket in the boat where it had been dropped so long ago, and she and it soon fell into the hands of Belasco who entranced her, intending to use her as he had used Beatrice. After climbing to the top of the volcanic Mount Flavius, Belasco put the final Bloodstone in its place in the pentagram and completed the spell that opened the gateway. However, only seconds later, Shanna's lover Ka-Zar attacked, ripped the locket off Shanna's neck and hurled it into the mouth of the volcano. As it flew through the air, the locket snapped open and the Bloodstones fell out of the pentagram and landed on the lava. With the pentagram disrupted, the spell that had opened the rift was negated, and the passageway began to close. Before they were sealed away, the Elder Gods punished Belacso for his failure by banishing him to an interdimensional limbo. Only one of the five Bloodstones survived the volcano's fire.; Trapped in Limbo, Belasco eventually kidnapped the six-year-old Illyana Rasputina with the intention of using her to escape. During the seven years that Illyana was trapped in Limbo, three Bloodstones were created from her soul and placed within another Bloodstone Amulet. Eventually, the now-teenaged Illyana managed to escape from Limbo, taking her medallion and its Bloodstones with her.; Still trapped in Limbo, Belasco was able to manipulate the Atlantean android Dherk into finding the lost Bloodstone near Mount Flavius and making it part of an engagement ring that Ka-Zar wanted to give to Shanna. Once it had been placed on Shanna's hand, Belasco was able to use the link he had previously established with her soul to act as a bridge through which he could return to Pangea. Soon after returning, Belasco kidnapped both Ka-Zar and Shanna, and performed the ritual to create a new Bloodstone from the soul of Leila, the young Tree People girl who was Shanna's step-daughter. Belasco planned to take those two Bloodstones, hunt down Illyana and her locket, and then use the five Bloodstones and the locket to again summon the Elder Gods to Earth. However, Ka-Zar managed to seize Belasco's sword and use it against him, and only being accidentally teleported away by Shanna saved Belasco's life. Once he was gone, Leila revealed that she had taken the ring from Belasco before he was teleported away.; Later, when the Beyonder removed Illyana's dark side, her Soulsword and the Beatrix Medallion were transferred to her best friend, Kitty Pryde, making her the Guardian. Almost immediately afterwards, Kitty was attacked by one of Belasco's demons and her inexperience enabled him to defeat her and take the Medallion. The demon then conjured a fourth Bloodstone from Kitty's soul but Illyana, to save her best friend, chose to reclaim her dark side and disrupt the demon, hoping that, if she had acted in time, the Bloodstone essence would return to Kitty.; Belasco later attempted to recreate the now-dead Illyana but only succeeded in creating a soulless copy he called the Darkchild. Needing power to keep Belasco from getting Illyana's soul, the Darkchild pressured Pixie (Megan Gwynn) into agreeing to give up her soul in order to save some of her friends who had been transported to Limbo by Belasco. From Pixie's soul, the Darkchild created a Bloodstone that she placed in her own amulet, but she didn't stop there and began taking even more of Pixie's soul into order to create more Bloodstones and a soulsword for herself. However, her spell was disrupted when Anole attacked her, and the partially-created second Bloodstone dissipated, its energy leaving her amulet and joining with the unfinished Soulsword to become Pixie's Soul Dagger.; Belasco's daughter, Witchfire (Ananym), later took Illyana's original Bloodstone Amulet (with the three Bloodstones) from the Project Purgatory soldiers who had found it in Limbo. Then, after the recreated Illyana had recovered her Soulsword and become more human, Witchfire confronted and defeated her, taking the single Bloodstone from her and adding it to the three already in the Bloodstone Amulet. When some X-Men journeyed to Limbo to find Illyana, Pixie was captured by Witchfire who used her soul to forge a fifth Bloodstone which she then placed in the amulet to summon the Elder Gods to Limbo. However, even as the X-Men began battling the Elder Gods, Illyana and Pixie combined their powers to break the spell by using the Soulsword and the Soul Dagger together to pry the last Bloodstone out of the amulet, causing the Elder Gods and Witchfire to be sucked into the portal and out of Limbo. In the aftermath, Pixie found that the newest Bloodstone was now part of her Soul Dagger.; After the Project Purgatory soldiers stole the Bloodstone Amulet back from Witchfire, they kidnapped Pixie in order use their technology to extract enough of her soul to pull the Bloodstone out of the Souldagger. Once that was done, they added it to the amulet and summoned the Elder Gods to Limbo, believing that they could use the amulet to control them and force them to attack the demons of Limbo. However, that plan failed and the Elder Gods instead used Portal Epsilon to travel from Limbo to Earth. As part of Illyana's secret plan, the fully-powered mutant Legion confronted the Elder Gods and destroyed them by writing them out of reality. Legion then freed the five Bloodstones by dissolving the amulet that had held them, and gave them to Illyana who kept her three and later gave the other two and the Soul Dagger back to Pixie. ============================================================ Bloodaxe (Weapon) Kind: item Page: Bloodaxe (Weapon) Formal name: Bloodaxe Other aliases: Executioner's Axe Type: Axe First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 103 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian; Magical Lead designer: Ullr (Reforged) Place of creation: Nidavellir (Original) Asgard (Reforged) Place of destruction: Asgard (Original) Current owner: Executioner Previous owners: Brute Benhurst; Bloodaxe; Thunderstrike Properties: The Bloodaxe is very similar to other Asgardian weapons as it is mystically enchanted and is nearly indestructible.; Transformation: By stamping the ax on the ground the user can revert to their mortal human form, dressed in whichever clothes they last wore in that form, while the Axe does not change. The user then only has to grab the axe to transform back. However, if the user was separated from the axe for more than 60 seconds, they would lose their enchanted form and revert to their original mortal identity, much like the enchantment once placed on Mjolnir by Odin.; Curse: Due to the curse from Skurge's evil, whenever someone owned the bloodaxe or transformed using it they would be driven to kill. This bloodlust could sometimes be channeled, but would ultimately corrupt the user.; Divine Slaying: As an armament created to portray divine violence, the cursed axe has the ability to wound and even kill beings of godly constitution. Thor having used it to slice off the arm of Perrikus known for his prowess in battle, as well as killing the long lived Desak with but a swing of its edge buried in his chest.; Force Projection: Being an ax, it can be used as a blunt force melee weapon, cutting weapon, or as a throwing weapon. It can also fire an energy blast of concussive force, fire, ice, gale-force winds, and also manipulate magnetic and electromagnetic fields, allowing the user to deflect incoming gunfire back at attackers.; Teleportation: It could be used to teleport to places the wielder has previously been.; Allspeak: The wielder of the Bloodaxe is able to access the Allspeak allowing them to communicate in all of the languages of the Nine Realms, Earth's dialects, and various alien languages.; Blood Absorption: After being reforged by Ullr, the Bloodaxe became capable of absorbing the blood of those cut by it, augmenting its power. Due to Ullr tying Skurge's soul to the axe, he grows stronger the more blood the axe absorbs. However, the axe will take Skurge's blood and life if he falls in battle. History: It originally belonged to the Executioner and was infected by his evil. This taint would curse anyone who picked up the axe to turn into a bloodlust-driven killer. It was left behind after a struggle between Skoll the Wolf god and the Enchantress, and picked up by Jackie Lukus, who then became the vigilante Bloodaxe.; After numerous encounters with Eric Masterson, as Thor and Thunderstrike, she was defeated and freed from the influence and power of the ax. After the battle, Thunderstrike used it from time to time to combat threats beyond his mace's power level.; Eventually, to battle the death-god Seth, he merged its power with that of his mace. When he did, his power and psyche melded with the ax for short time. Though defeating Seth, Eric was consumed by the curse. With the aid of the spirit of Skurge and his inner avatar, Eric was able to pit the power of his mace against the power the ax. It was presumed destroyed in the ensuing explosion. Instead, it was teleported away by Hela.; Following the death of Odin, Hela used it to empower an agent in a plot against Thor, but the plot was uncovered and the ax taken by Thor to Asgard. He later destroyed it with the Odin-Force after he felt the curse beginning to work on him.; Since Skurge foresaw in a dream that who held Thor's weapons would inevitably die, he determined that in order to steal his weapons and his death, he needed a weapon of his own. Skurge asked Ullr to forge a new Bloodaxe, paying a terrible price by linking his soul to the weapon. Skurge used the new Bloodaxe to fight Thor in the gate of Utgard and later entered the realm with him before they were captured by the Utgard-Loki. Skurge used the axe to shatter the Black Bridge as he stood upon it, falling into unknown darkness. ============================================================ Blade of the Phoenix Kind: item Page: Blade of the Phoenix Formal name: Blade of the Phoenix Other aliases: Phoenix Blade Type: Sword First appearance: Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 479 Created by: Ed Brubaker; Billy Tan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Shi'ar Lead designer: Unknown Additional designers: Rook'shir, Phoenix Force Place of creation: Shi'ar Empire Current owner: Korvus Rook'shir Previous owners: Rook'shir Material: Metal Weight: Variable Properties: Energy Discharge: The Blade of the Phoenix literally glowed with energy and had blue flame crackling off it. This energy could be channeled into blasts or used the strengthen the effects of a cutting blow. The Blade was also able to deflect offensive energy attacks. The Blade appears to have retained this power even without its connection to the Phoenix Force. Notes: Based on Korvus's comments, the Blade of the Phoenix has been wielded by more than just himself and Rook'shir. This may mean the Blade was used by Rook'shir ancestors before he bonded with the Phoenix Force or that others wielded after Rook'shir death and before Korvus received it. History: ===Origin===; It is unknown when the Blade of the Phoenix was forged, but it was originally wielded by Rook'shir approximately 500 years (or some 400 cycles) ago. Rook'shir was a Shi'ar and the second being to ever bond with the Phal'Kon (the Phoenix Force). Even though he was only bonded with the Phoenix for a few days, the power quickly corrupted him and he destroyed multiple planets. To stop him, the Shi'ar Empire formed the first Imperial Guard. When Rook'shir was killed, an infinitesimal piece of the Phoenix Force (a "shadow" or an "echo") remained within his sword.; Once Rook'Shir was executed, his blemish on Shi'ar history and his weapon was kept secret for centuries to come Meanwhile, Rook'Shir's descendants were slaughtered and sterilized until only one remained incarcerated in a maximum security prison on the third moon of Phygim.; ===Modern Era===; To assassinate the last carrier of the Grey Genome, the last living descendant of Rook-Shir, Korvus Rook'shir, was freed from prison, given the Blade of the Phoenix, and sent after Rachel Grey by Vice-Chancellor K'Tor of the Shi'ar Empire.; Korvus was able to find the X-Men and Rachel abroad a Shi'ar Star Cruiser. With the Blade, Korvus easily bested the combined attacks of Havok, Polaris, Nightcrawler, and Warpath. However, he was unable to defeat Marvel Girl, his target. Instead the Blade's link to the Phoenix Force allowed her and Korvus' minds to merge, sharing each others tragic memories and intimately binding their psyches for some time. Rachel was also able to absorb a portion of the Blade's Phoenix Force power, weakening it. Rachel then released Korvus from the service of the Vice-Chancellor by carefully telekinetically dismantling the bomb implanted in Korvus's head. Freed from the Vice-Chancellor commands, Korvus joined the X-Men in their mission.; During their time together, Korvus was able to teach Rachel about the history of the Blade of the Phoenix.; Alongside Warpath, Korvus used the Blade to defeat the Shi'ar guards on Asteroid H-12 of the Asteroid Archipelago and assist in freeing Lilandra. With the Starjammers, the X-Men, and Lilandra's forces, Korvus fought against forces of D'Ken, Vulcan, and Deathbird and the Imperial Guards.; In the aftermath of the battle and the death of Corsair, Korvus joined the Starjammers along with Marvel Girl, Havok, and Polaris. With the Starjammers, Korvus continued wield the Blade of the Phoenix to fight against the rule of Emperor Vulcan and protect the galaxy. During a battle with Vulcan's Imperial Guard, the Phoenix fragments within both the Blade and Rachel were completely removed drained as the Phoenix Force began collecting and consolidating all its fragments while preparing for its new host.; Although the Blade was depowered, Korvus continued to wield it to defend others from tyranny as a member of the Starjammers.; When the Starjammers were answering a distress call on a space station, they were mind controlled by a creature named Friendless. An X-Men team led by Rogue arrived to save them however and the entire space station was safely brought to Earth. However, travelling through the wormhole profoundly altered the makeup of the Blade causing Cerebra to detect a scrambled mutant mind inside the sword. Blindfold and Emma Frost were able to confirm this, but were unable to identify who was in the Blade. Using her powers, Rogue absorbed the fragments of the mutant mind in Magneto, Havok, Rachel Grey, Polaris, Gambit, Frenzy and the Blade to discover Ariel trapped between realms in her teleportation. Rogue and a team of X-Men were able to rescue Ariel, but the ordeal did severely damage the Blade of the Phoenix.; Korvus quickly grew restless among the mutants on Utopia, so Rogue arranged for him to become the new captain of Sovel Redhand's crew on the Gul Damar and he was able to leave Earth, taking the Blade of the Phoenix with him. ============================================================ Black Tongue Kind: item Page: Black Tongue Formal name: Black Tongue Type: Sword First appearance: Deadpool Team-Up Vol 2 886 Created by: Shane McCarthy; Nick Dragotta Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Cursed Current owner: Gin Goh History: One of the Thirteen Cursed Blades, the Black Tongue will kill with a single cut. ============================================================ Bolts of Bedevilment Kind: item Page: Bolts of Bedevilment Formal name: Bolts of Bedevilment Type: Spell First appearance: Marvel Feature Vol 1 2 Created by: Steve Englehart; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Umar the Unrelenting; Doctor Strange History: Doctor Strange used this spell to banish the hordes of Umar the Unrelenting.; Umar later used this spell during a mystical battle with Thor. ============================================================ Bolts of Bishru Kind: item Page: Bolts of Bishru Formal name: Bolts of Bishru Other aliases: Baleful Bolts of Bishru; Bishran Bolts Type: Spell First appearance: Iron Fist Vol 1 7 Created by: Chris Claremont; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Doctor Strange; Master Khan; Umar the Unrelenting History: Master Khan used the Bolts of Bishru to attack Iron Fist.

Comics Vol 1 17 Created by: Vince Fago; Alex Schomburg Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Scar's Mob History: The Black Streak Projector was a film projector that could create a three-dimensional image. Its origins and specifications are unknown. In 1945, it was used by a mobster named Scar and his gang in a series of robberies. Using the projector, they created the illusion of a super-fast criminal they called the Black Streak.; Their first recorded use of the device was to rob the payroll of a nearby shipyard. While one of Scar's men was captured, the theft was a success. When the police learned about the "Black Streak", they got the Whizzer to investigate. With a list of their scheduled hits, the Whizzer staked out the Benson Aircraft Company and attempted to capture the Black Streak. However, it appeared that the "criminal" was too fast for the hero and seemingly jumped off a cliff. While the Whizzer was occupied, Scar and his gang stole blueprints from the factory.; However, when recalling the chase, the Whizzer noted that when the Black Streak ran across a robe bridge, the bridge didn't sag, tipping him off to the Black Streak's true nature. When Scar and his gang attempted to rob the Alton Steeplechase, the Whizzer located the projector and smashed it and quickly rounded up the crooks. ============================================================ Blackout Bomb Kind: item Page: Blackout Bomb Formal name: Blackout Bomb Type: Technology First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 10 Created by: Wally Wood; Bob Powell; } Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Organizer Current owner: Bird Man History: The Blackout Bomb emits an electronic impulse which disrupts every circuit in the area.

Chichester; Ron Garney Reality: Earth-616; Earth-8772; Earth-26320 Current owner: Eric Brooks Previous owners: Varnae History: Specially tempered titanium, acid etched, with a soft steel core according to the Makuri Forging technique. This composite alloy makes it lighter, more resilient and perfectly balanced with a slight curve formed during the hardening process, this is to give it the the comprehensive strength it needed.; Titanium has been chosen as the outer layer to prevent constant maintenance, for it does not readily corrode, rust, or stain with water as ordinary steel does, and because it is lighter and stronger.; While possessing Blade, Varnae upgraded his blades to be made of Atlantean steel that deflected magic. ============================================================ Bloodgem Ring Kind: item Page: Bloodgem Ring Formal name: Bloodgem Ring Other aliases: Bloodstone Ring Type: Ring First appearance: Avengers Arena Vol 1 2 Created by: Dennis Hallum; Kev Walker Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Shard of the Bloodgem set in a ring; Magical Place of creation: Northern Vanaheim, Europe Current owner: Cullen Bloodstone Previous owners: Elsa Bloodstone Ulysses Bloodstone Properties: Increased Strength: The Bloodgem Ring grants the wearer superhuman strength.; Darkness Suppression: Direct contact with the Bloodgem Ring suppressed the power of Glartrox, allowing Cullen Bloodstone to control the demon.

With the freezing units at full capacity, the Blizzard could lower the temperature of a twenty by twenty foot room 68 degrees Fahrenheit to 32 degrees Fahrenheit in thirty seconds.; Ice Generation: Also integrated into the lining of his sleeves was a system of flexible tubing that carried water to miniature electric turbines in his gloves. By emitting the water as a mist and freezing it with his micro-cryostat units, he could create snow flurries. By emitting it as a spray, he could create sleet. By emitting it as a stream, he could create icicles. By concentrating both gloves' power on a single stream of water, he could create a super-dense ice-darts, capable of being flung with enough force to dent half-inch thick steel. The water and cold ducts were capable of shooting a steam of snow with a maximum range of fifteen feet. The Blizzard was able to encase people in a layer of frost or to create an ice-slide beneath him.; Cold Immunity: Blizzard's battlesuit was fully insulated so that he was immune to the effects of his weaponry. He carried the power-unit for his microcircuitry on his back. History: The armor used by Mickey Quaid was described as "Blizzard Armor Mark III". ============================================================ Black Vortex Kind: item Page: Black Vortex Formal name: Black Vortex Other aliases: Vortex Type: Technology First appearance: Legendary Star-Lord Vol 1 5 Created by: Sam Humphries; Paco Medina Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Celestial Lead designer: Godhead Place of creation: Viscardi Current owner: Gara Previous owners: Mister Knife; Ronan the Accuser; Nova; Captain Marvel Properties: Legendary Star-Lord Vol 1 5; The Black Vortex is one of the most powerful artifacts in the universe, which amplifies its user's powers to a cosmic level. The Black Vortex acts like a mirror which shows individuals what would they look like with their cosmic potential unleashed. After saying "I submit to the Black Vortex," the individual will be given the power promised.; The amount of power seems to vary from person to person. Storm would have been able to destroy stars and planets with ease, Thane could encase entire planets in amber, and Kitty Pryde apparently ascended to a multiversal being, but others were notably not as impressive. Nevertheless, they can all survive in space; Beast, Gamora, and Angel were all faster than Captain Marvel's top speed, and they were more powerful than the Accuser Corps and all of Hala's defenses. Thanos is a "pushover" compared to an enhanced person. Captain Marvel describes the promised power like going binary but more so.; Cosmically-enhanced individuals also obtain some level of cosmic awareness. For Beast, he gained total understanding of space and time. Kitty Pryde managed to "transcend" the Multiverse and touched the minds of her infinite alternate reality counterparts. For Gamora, she could "hear" a portion of the Phoenix Force calling out to her.; The Black Vortex's power usually corrupts. The Supreme Intelligence would rather risk fighting a losing battle than use the Black Vortex, as its corruption would almost certainly result in the end of the Kree Empire. Countless civilizations have fallen due to the Vortex. The Vortex tempts anyone who looks, but those with strong wills can resist it, and special goggles can obstruct its lure. It is possible to obtain the power without being corrupted, as with Kitty Pryde.; The Vortex is also capable of taking away its bestowed powers, although mental or physical side-effects might remain. For example, Iceman gained the ability to turn his entire body into organic ice, and Groot suffered a slight change of appearance. The enhancements provided by the Black Vortex seemingly diminish both over time and with exertion.; The mirror itself can be used to deflect incoming attacks. It is seemingly sentient and can show visions of the past, possible future, and even events that transpired in other realities. Gara, who wants nothing more than to destroy the Vortex, later states that the Vortex cannot be destroyed. It can endure the center of a star without suffering any damage, which is where it is currently being kept.; ==Known Users==; {! class="wikitable" style="text-align: center"; !+ Beholders of the Black Vortex; !-; !

Never used the Black Vortex; !} Notes: The Black Vortex's power was originally stated to be permanent, which is supported by the fact that Gara still has her power after 12 billion years. However, it was later retconned to diminish with time and exertion, and the power was written out of the story. Trivia: The Black Vortex is likened to the Phoenix Force, the Ultimate Nullifier, and the Infinity Stones.; When Storm looks into the Vortex, she sees her cosmic self causing Spartax's sun to go supernova, like what Dark Phoenix does to D'bari IV's star in the Dark Phoenix Saga.; Many of the cosmically-enhanced designs have Cosmically Enhanced Variants.; Agent Venom's cosmic form resembles Captain Universe, six years before it was linked to symbiotes. History: The Black Vortex was created by the Celestial Godhead, after a Viscardi named Gara expressed to the cosmic being the desire of their species to explore beyond their potential. Gara was the first of the Viscardi to submit to the Black Vortex's power. One year later, a war between the Viscardi left Gara as the sole survivor of her species. Twelve billion years later, the Black Vortex was located on the planet Kymellia III. After discovering its location, Mister Knife sent his crew, the Slaughter Squad, to Kymellia III to steal it from the Kymellians.; Mister Knife's son Star-Lord and his girlfriend Kitty Pryde stole the Black Vortex from Knife in order to ruin his plans, and ended up asking the X-Men and the Guardians of the Galaxy's help to see what to do with it. Mister Knife's Slaughter Lords tracked down Star-Lord and fought with the heroes for its possession. Gamora and Beast used the Black Vortex to acquire cosmic powers, and Gamora later showed the X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy what they would look like with its powers.; After unleashing his cosmic potential, Angel allied himself with Gamora and Beast to bring peace to the universe by using the Black Vortex. They took it to a primitive planet where they planned to use it to enhance its inhabitants, but they were attacked by Ronan who took the Black Vortex from them. The Kree took the Vortex to Hala. The planet was shortly after assaulted by the cosmically empowered heroes. A fraction of the Guardians and the X-Men arrived to Hala to assist the Kree, and Star-Lord helped Ronan seize the Black Vortex from the Supreme Intelligence in order to acquire its powers against his master's will. After Gamora, Beast and Angel were forced to retreat, the Guardians and the X-Men tried to convince the Supreme Intelligence to let them use the Vortex to no avail. The heroes proceeded to attack the Accuser Corps and Nova fled with the Vortex. However, during that conflict Mister Knife and the Slaughter Lords attacked Hala. Misa of the Slaughter Lords attempted to take the Vortex from Nova, but after Hala was destroyed by Knife's flying fortress, it was left floating in the void and remains of the planet.; Nova reacquired the Vortex, and as the Guardians and the X-Men had been forced to flee from Hala while it was exploding, decided to take it to Earth to seek for help with the Avengers. Nova hid the Vortex in his apartment, until the Collector appeared before his door, with intentions of purchasing the Vortex. Nova went on the run again, and decided to take the Vortex to Spartax, where the Guardians and the X-Men had first met. However, Nova accidentally arrived to Mister Knife's fortress, and the Vortex was seized from him by Knife's and his ally Thane, who proceeded to empower himself with it. The Vortex was subsequently kept in Knife's fortress, after being used on Thane to encase the entirety of Spartax in an amber construct.; When Cyclops, Iceman and Groot escaped imprisonment in Knife's fortress, they came across the Vortex, empowered themselves to escape and took it with them. Cyclops handed over the Vortex to Captain Marvel, who was going to deliver it to Kitty Pryde for a plan they had. As she was en route to Spartax, Captain Marvel was intercepted by Gara, who had been for the past thousands of years in a mission to find and destroy the Vortex. Captain Marvel was still able to deliver the Vortex to the heroes in Spartax, but Gara soon caught up with her. Gara interrupted the heroes when they were discussing how to proceed, and recovered the Vortex. The X-Man Magik convinced her to let one of them use the Vortex for a last time, and Kitty Pryde decided to be that person.; Kitty used her augmented phasing powers to save Spartax. Afterward, Gara was given the Vortex; before leaving to guard it, as the Vortex could not be destroyed, she allowed whomever wanted to use the Vortex to get rid of their cosmic powers. Finally, Gara rested at the center of a star, guarding the Black Vortex in her arms.; clear ============================================================ Blue Streak's Suit Kind: item Page: Blue Streak's Suit Other aliases: Blue Streak's Suit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Captain America Vol 1 217 Created by: Roy Thomas; Don Glut; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: S.H.I.E.L.D. Current owner: Jonathan Swift Previous owners: Don Thomas Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: TBA History: ===Origin===; The Blue Streak Suit was a specialized battle suit created by S.H.I.E.L.D.. Don Thomas used the special armor as well as rocket-powered skates, enabling him to reach up to 125 miles per hour. The Blue Streak could also leap fair distances and even climb vertical surfaces. Retro-rockets in the toes enabled him to break instantly or travel backwards. Blue Streak employed powerful lasers mounted on his forearms, capable of melting through 2" steel plates in 30 seconds. He also carried tacks capable of puncturing tires.; ===Fast Five===; The Fast Five were a group of super villains formed by Jonathan Swift. They each wore a different colored version of the Blue Streak Suit. The first time they acted together, they robbed a bank in New York. People soon alerted the Mighty Avengers of the their activity. They skated through the city before coming across Spectrum and separating to prevent capture. However, the rest of the Mighty Avengers took care of them separately. ============================================================ Blackwing's Suit Kind: item Page: Blackwing's Suit Formal name: Blackwing's Suit Other aliases: Blackwing Armor Type: Technology; Armor; Flight Harness First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 118 Created by: Gerry Conway; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Joseph Manfredi Previous owners: Barnell Bohusk; Joseph Manfredi; Heavy Mettle's Blackwing Model: 1 Version: 1 History: ===Joseph Manfredi===; Joseph Manfredi first wore the Blackwing outfit when he was operating as Blackwing.; ===Blackwing===; An unnamed woman going by the Blackwing identity joined Joseph Manfredi's Heavy Mettle. She and the rest of the group attacked the New Warriors to obtain Turbo's costume. Heavy Mettle was defeated and sent to jail, except Firestrike.; During Norman Osborn's Dark Reign, she was tricked by The Hood and Taskmaster into training with the Initiative for their "Shadow Initiative." However, the Shadow Initiative was diverted to be cannon fodder meant to weaken the enemy in taking Prison 42 from the remnants of King Blastaar's army before the heavy hitters of Osborn's Initiative finished the job. Blackwing participated in the attack where she was shot down in the ensuing fight and killed.; ===Barnell Bohusk===; After Barnell Bohusk lost his powers following M-Day, he joined the then-recently active, and Anti-Superhuman Registration Act New Warriors under the guise of Blackwing. Using Blackwing's old suit, he had the power of flight and energy blasts, derived from power within the suit. ============================================================ Body-Transferral Ray Kind: item Page: Body-Transferral Ray Formal name: Body-Transferral Ray Other aliases: Transformatron Type: Technology First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 37 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Previous owners: Doctor Doom Notes: In Daredevil Vol 1 37, Doom initially mentions preparing a machine called "Transformatron" that is never mentioned again - thus, that must have been another name for the device he later calls "Body-Transferral Ray" History: Doctor Doom developed this machine that switches the bodies of two people. The subjects are placed in two glass cylinders, connected to machinery. The subjects' minds are changed through a process including spiral energy waves. Should one subject is not willing, that person could try to resist the process using sheer willpower. The change is permanent, albeit the machine could be used again to return the minds to the original bodies.; Doom built one of these machines within the confines of the Latverian Embassy of New York City. He then used it to swap his body with Daredevil's in a plot to surprise attack the Fantastic Four. Doom later returned to his own body, and then Daredevil destroyed the machine with an ax. ============================================================ Bodycase Kind: item Page: Bodycase Formal name: Bodycase Type: Technology First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 3 15 Created by: Steve Englehart; Ron Lim Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Trader History: A bodycase was a kind of advanced technology used by the Trader, one of the Elders of the Universe. The Trader bonded an item his biological aura, in this case the Soul Gems, using the bodycase, then he claimed that the gems could only be separated from him should he died. He later admitted that the gems could be separated if he agreed to trade them for a different item, in this case the Silver Surfer, in which case the Surfer would be bonded to him. The Trader could then control the Surfer's powers and give him orders to some extent. Surfer's ally Mister Fantastic then discovered that, should the Trader allow the Surfer to use his powers, the Surfer could still attack the Trader with them instead of obeying his orders. When the Trader was destroyed soon afterward, apparently the bodycase disappeared with him. ============================================================ Blade of the Phoenix's Wings (Earth-13729) Kind: item Page: Blade of the Phoenix's Wings Formal name: Blade of the Phoenix's Wings Other aliases: Phoenix Blade; Insane Askani Bible Type: Sword First appearance: Wolverine & the X-Men Vol 2 4 Created by: Jason Latour; Mahmud Asrar Reality: Earth-13729 Origin: A blade imbued with the Phoenix Force that was sent to Earth-616 Lead designer: Clan Askani (Earth-13729) Additional designers: Phoenix Force Place of creation: Earth-13729 Previous owners: Idie Okonkwo; Edan Younge; Clan Askani (Earth-13729) History: When Quentin Quire looked inside the mind of Edan Younge, he saw that the blade "fell through a crack in time" during ancient times, where it came to the possession of Edan.

It was believed that it required the spirits of forty fallen men and one righteous one. Its writings spoke of impossible choices, goods greater than good, and darks darker than dark. They also contradicted the idea of opposing forces, such as good and evil, defining the edges of all existence.; The Doctor Strange of Earth-616 read the Blu'dakorr while looking for ways to protect his universe from the threat of incursions, leading him into abandoning his old methods to seek power no matter the cost. As he had no whole soul to offer for the godhood he wanted, Strange unleashed an abyssal entity from the book upon the Great Society of Earth-4290001 when an incursion between his world and theirs occurred. His fellow Illuminati were forced to knock him out to do away with the beast. ============================================================ Bloodstone Amulet Kind: item Page: Bloodstone Amulet Formal name: Bloodstone Amulet Other aliases: Beatrix Medallion Type: Amulet First appearance: Ka-Zar the Savage Vol 1 10 Created by: Bruce Jones; Brent Anderson Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Belasco Place of destruction: Limbo Previous owners: Belasco; Magik; Witchfire; General Ulysses Notes: The item last known as the Bloodstone Amulet had several names during its existence:; It was referred to simply as a locket in Ka-Zar the Savage Vol 1 11.; It began being called a medallion in Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 160.; It was called the Beatrix Medallion for the first (and only) time in New Mutants Vol 1 36.; It was first called the Bloodstone Amulet in X-Infernus Vol 1 1.; Given that this item was always depicted as being a pendant that could be opened to reveal something inside it, calling it a locket was more accurate than calling it either a medallion or an amulet.; When the medallion appeared in Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 160, it may have been meant to be the same locket that had last been seen in Ka-Zar the Savage Vol 1 12, somehow saved from the lava and transported to Limbo with Belasco. However, the revelation in Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 2 1 that Belasco had given an identical medallion to his first apprentice, Maire O'Connell, made it clear that Belasco must have made at least one copy of the locket/medallion, a copy that he presumably later gave to Illyana.; However, if Belasco was capable of making these amulets, then maybe the original locket was destroyed by the same lava that destroyed four of the original Bloodstones, and so Belasco had to make one copy that he gave to Maire and then a second copy that he gave to Illyana.; Alternatively, maybe Belasco was able to bring the empty locket with him when he was banished to Limbo, and maybe the medallion that Maire showed to Illyana was a fake, something that Maire could use to prove that her story was true. This would mean that there was only ever one real Bloodstone Amulet.; The Bloodstone Amulet has only been used to summon the Elder Gods on three occasions. While its first use opened a portal to Earth, its second and third uses opened a portal to Limbo instead.; When opened in Ka-Zar the Savage Vol 1 10, the locket was seen to contain a portrait miniature of Beatrice Portinari. However, when opened in Ka-Zar the Savage Vol 1 12, only the pentagram was visible. Had the pentagram previously been hidden behind the portrait? Or was it magic that had kept the pentagram hidden?; For a while, the Darkchilde had an amulet on which she kept the Bloodstone she had made from Pixie's soul. However, despite the fact that it had a pentagram on its outer surface, there is no evidence that this amulet could have been used to open a gateway to the home of the Elder Gods. History: In the late 13th century, the sorcerer Belasco obtained five Bloodstones which he planned to use to open an interdimensional passageway through which the Elder Gods he worshipped could invade Earth. How and where he obtained the Bloodstones and the pentagram that were vital components of the spell has never been revealed. After abducting a woman named Beatrice Portinari, whom he intended to make the mother of a demon-race he planned to father, Belasco sailed south to Pangea in Antarctica because his masters had told him that was where Mount Flavius, the perfect site upon which to carry out the spell, was located. For safekeeping, Belasco made Beatrice wear the pentagram with four emplaced Bloodstones in a locket, but kept the final Bloodstone that would complete the spell on his person. However, this precaution backfired because Beatrice lost the locket while traveling in a boat through an ancient underground Atlantean amusement ride on their way to the mountain, something that Belasco discovered only after Beatrice had already died in childbirth. Without the locket, Belasco was unable to summon the Elder Gods to Earth.; Seven hundred years later, Shanna the She-Devil found the locket in the boat where it had been dropped so long ago, and she and it soon fell into the hands of Belasco who entranced her, intending to use her as he had used Beatrice. After climbing to the top of the volcanic Mount Flavius, Belasco put the final Bloodstone in its place in the pentagram and completed the spell that opened the gateway. However, only seconds later, Shanna's lover Ka-Zar attacked, ripped the locket off Shanna's neck and hurled it into the mouth of the volcano. As it flew through the air, the locket snapped open and the Bloodstones fell out of the pentagram and landed on the lava. With the pentagram disrupted, the spell that had opened the rift was negated, and the passageway began to close. Before they were sealed away, the Elder Gods punished Belasco for his failure by banishing him to an interdimensional limbo. Only one of the five Bloodstones survived the volcano's fire.; Trapped within Limbo, Belasco somehow brought a young girl named Maire O'Connell there and gave her a medallion (that looked just like the locket) when she became his first apprentice. However, after becoming a full disciple in all the ways of magic, Maire became arrogant, so Belasco punished her by stealing her magic from her, cursing her with immortality, and returning her to Earth.; Belasco later kidnapped the six-year-old Illyana Rasputina and gave her an empty medallion that he told her would enable her to ascend to a glorious destiny once all five Bloodstones were in their proper places. Belasco actually intended to use Illyana as a means to escape from Limbo. During the seven years that Illyana was trapped in Limbo, three Bloodstones were created from her soul and placed within this medallion. Eventually, the now-teenaged Illyana managed to escape from Limbo, taking her medallion and its Bloodstones with her.; Belasco managed to escape from Limbo and retrieve the last of the five original Bloodstones. He planned to create a fifth Bloostone, then track down Illyana, retrieve her three Bloodstones and the mystic locket, and use them to summon the Elder Gods. However, after performing the ritual to create a new Bloodstone from the soul of a young Tree People girl named Leila, Belasco was defeated.; Later, when the Beyonder removed Illyana's dark side, her Soulsword and the Beatrix Medallion were transferred to her best friend, Kitty Pryde, making her the Guardian. Almost immediately afterwards, Kitty was attacked by one of Belasco's demons and her inexperience enabled him to defeat her and take the Medallion. The demon then conjured a fourth Bloodstone from Kitty's soul but Illyana, to save her best friend, chose to reclaim her dark side and disrupt the demon.; Illyana was later approached by Maire O'Connell who had been alive on Earth for five hundred years and wanted Illyana's help to become mortal again. As proof of her story, Maire showed Illyana the medallion that Belasco had given her when she became his first apprentice.; Illyana presumably had the amulet on her person when she sacrificed herself to save Earth near the end of the Inferno storyline.; In Limbo, demons found the desiccated corpse of a blonde girl with the Bloodstone Amulet hanging from her skeletal hand. The demons placed the corpse on an altar in their nest where it was later found by Project Purgatory soldiers looking for some stolen supplies. Finding the golden medallion, they took it back to their base where it and its three Bloodstones were examined by General Ulysses and Doctor Noc. During that examination, Witchfire (Ananym) arrived at the base with a horde of demons and took the amulet for herself.; Later, Witchfire met with a council of five Hell-Lords, claimed to be Belasco's daughter, and stated that she wanted what had been his, including a seat at their table. The Hell-Lords weren't that impressed by her until she showed them that she had the Bloodstone Amulet in her possession, including the lost Bloodstones with which came the power of the Elder Gods. They agreed that, if she destroyed the Darkchilde and took back her kingdom, then the daughter of Belasco could have a seat at their table.; Later, in Limbo, after her forces had taken control of the Darkchilde's castle, Witchfire went out onto a balcony and showed the assembled demons that she had the Bloodstone Amulet, thereby giving them more cause to fear her than the Darkchilde.; Soon afterwards, Witchfire battled and easily defeated the Darkchilde and took the amulet which contained the Bloodstone that she had previously made from the soul of Pixie. Witchfire then used her magic to remove that single Bloodstone from the Darkchilde's amulet and transfer it to join the three in the Bloodstone Amulet. This caused Pixie, who was then in Limbo, to feel it and go in search of her Bloodstone, leading her to Witchfire who captured her and began making another Bloodstone from her soul.; After she finished making the final Bloodstone from Pixie's soul, Witchfire placed it in the amulet, triggering the spell that opened a portal through which the Elder Gods could enter Limbo. However, working together, the Darkchilde and Pixie are able to use their Soulsword and Souldagger to remove the last Bloodstone from the amulet. This broke the spell and caused the Elder Gods and Witchfire to be sucked through the portal which closed behind them. Pixie then discovered that the fifth Bloodstone was now embedded her dagger's hilt.; Later, "the humans who walk with demons" (Project Purgatory soldiers) took the Bloodstone Amulet from Witchfire. The soldiers later kidnapped Pixie and used their technology to extract enough of her soul to pull the Bloodstone out of the Souldagger. Once that was done, the soldiers added it to the amulet and summoned the Elder Gods to Limbo, believing that they could use the amulet to control them and force them to attack the demons of Limbo. However, that plan failed and the Elder Gods instead used Portal Epsilon to travel from Limbo to Earth. As part of Illyana's secret plan, the fully-powered mutant Legion confronted the Elder Gods and destroyed them by writing them out of reality. Legion then freed the five Bloodstones by dissolving the amulet that had held them, and gave them to Illyana who kept her three and later gave the other two and the Soul Dagger back to Pixie. ============================================================ Black Sword of Ares Kind: item Page: Black Sword of Ares Formal name: Black Sword Type: Sword First appearance: Sub-Mariner Vol 2 57 Created by: Bill Everett Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Olympian Lead designer: Hephaestus Place of creation: Olympus Current owner: Ares Previous owners: Hephaestus History: Ares used the Black Sword to fight against Namor, the Sub-Mariner when he came to the defense of Venus. ============================================================ Blight Blade Kind: item Page: Blight Blade Formal name: Blight Blade Type: Sword First appearance: Ghost Rider Vol 9 3 Created by: Ed Brisson; Aaron Kuder Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Necrosis; Danny Ketch Notes: The Blight Blade was designed by Aaron Kuder. Trivia: The Blight Blade's handle bears a striking resemblance to the front part of Danny's Hell Cycle. History: Throughout the years, the Blight Blade was used by Necrosis, the Spirit of Corruption, to dispose of any enemy of his master, Belasco.; After Belasco decided to turn Danny Ketch into his pawn against the then-current King of Hell Johnny Blaze, the Spirit of Corruption was passed on to Danny alongside the Blight Blade. Danny eventually used the sword to cleanse his brother of the sins he had been burning out of others since he had become ruler of Hell.; Necrosis was later separated from Danny by his creator, Corruption, making Ketch lose the Blight Blade in the process. Danny went on to bond with a Spirit of Vengeance after that, becoming Ghost Rider again. When the Spirit of Violence began targeting the loved ones of those possessed by the Spirits of Vengeance, Loki warned Robbie Reyes and Fantasma that only the Blight Blade could destroy the Spirit of Violence.; Corruption sent a hostless Necrosis to New York in order to kill Danny, but he was stopped when Robbie Reyes, Fantasma, Hellverine and Vengeance arrived to back Danny up. After Necrosis was killed, Danny reclaimed the Blight Blade and vowed to use it to kill Barbara Ketch, the current host of the Spirit of Violence. During the fight between the Spirits of Vengeance and Corruption's forces, Danny threw the Blight Blade and then restrained his sister, allowing the Blight Blade to impale and kill them both, along with the Spirit of Violence. Afterwards, the Blight Blade flew on its own and disappeared into the night sky. ============================================================ Blade of Finality Kind: item Page: Blade of Finality Formal name: Blade of Finality Type: Sword First appearance: Hulk Vol 2 32 Created by: Jeff Parker; Gabriel Hardman Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Black Fog History: A sword apparently charged with mystical energy capable of cutting almost any material used as a primary weapon by Black Fog. ============================================================ Blitzkanone (Earth-TRN883) Kind: item Page: Blitzkanone Formal name: Blitzkanone Other aliases: Particle Disruption Beam Type: Cannon First appearance: Marvel Future Revolution Created by: Marc Sumerak Reality: Earth-TRN883 Origin: Xandarian weapon repurposed by Hydra Lead designer: Nova Corps of Xandearth Additional designers: Hydra of Hydra Empire Place of creation: Hydra Empire, Primary Earth; Hydramerica Place of destruction: Hydra Empire, Primary Earth Version: 2 History: In reality of Earth-TRN884 the planet Xandar was destroyed by Thanos, although Nova Corps managed to survive by settling on Earth, which they renamed Xandearth. Looking for a weapon that could stop Thanos in the future, a research team that included Nova Bruno Ferris developed plans for a "Particle Disruption Beam" that could potentially harm the Mad Titan. However, this weapon was never constructed and the team disbanded.; After several worlds, including Xandearth, were merged into one Primary Earth during the Convergence, those plans were stolen by Hydra of the Hydra Empire. They repurposed those plans to construct their own massive Blitzkanone utilizing the techonology of the proposed Particle Disruption Beam. When another version of Thanos attacked Primary Earth, Hydra's leader Red Skull planned to use the Blitzkanone against Thanos, even at the cost of his own Empire and its people. He was stopped by Captain America and Spider-Man of Omega Flight Squad 62. Rogers used his shield to destroy the Blitzkanone, while broadcasting Red Skull's willingness to sacrifice his people across his Empire, undermining his position as its leader.; However, it later turned out that Hydra shared the Xandarian plans with another Hydra on a world similar to theirs, where they conquerered and rules the country of Hydramerica. When the threat that Thanos posed to Prime Earth became apparent, Tony Stark send Omega Flight to Hydramerica's reality to obtain their version of Blitzkanone. They were opposed by Crossbones, but managed to drive him away and secure the Blitzkanone, which was transferred to Xandearth for repurposing. It did however eventually prove ineffective against Thanos. ============================================================ Blood and Bone of Ostrum Kind: item Page: Blood and Bone of Ostrum Formal name: Blood and Bone of Ostrum Type: Spell First appearance: Avengers No Road Home Vol 1 5 Created by: Jim Zub; Mark Waid; Al Ewing; Sean Izaakse Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Scarlet Witch History: A complex spell, invoking the Blood and Bone of Ostrum, requiring visual components, that can be used to create massive amounts of light and destroy magical darkness.; The Scarlet Witch used it against Nyx (while merged with Spectrum, who was able to shape her light forms into sigils). ============================================================ Blindworm Wool Kind: item Page: Blindworm Wool Formal name: Blindworm Wool Type: Material First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 5 3 Created by: Mark Waid; Jesús Saíz Origin: Magical Current owner: Kanna History: Blindworm Wool was an ingredient used by Kanna to summon Buzzcrows. ============================================================ Blade of Bawk (Earth-8968) Kind: item Page: Blade of Bawk Formal name: Blade of Bawk Type: Spell First appearance: Devil's Reign: Superior Four Vol 1 3 Created by: Zac Thompson; Davide Tinto Reality: Earth-8968 Current owner: Superior Octopus History: Superior Octopus was going to use the Blade of Bawk against three of his Variants. ============================================================ Bolgorad Treaties Kind: item Page: Bolgorad Treaties Formal name: Bolgorad Treaties Other aliases: Bolgorad Treaties of 1544 Type: Document First appearance: Domains of Doom Vol 1 1 Created by: Scott Davis; Steven E. Schend Place of creation: Bolgorad Notes: Bolgorad is a region in Latveria (not a city, unless there's a still-unseen city sharing name with the region). While not explicitly stated in the sources, it's reasonable to assume that the Bolgorad Treaties were signed in the Bolgorad region. History: The Bolgorad Treaties were signed in 1544, purportedly in Bolgorad, a southern region of Latveria, to mark the end of the Haasen/Draasen Wars, a civil conflict that had devastated the country for almost 90 years.; The war was due to the death of King Karl Haasen III without direct heirs, which brought the inept nobleman Vlad Draasen to the throne. During the war, the Draasen aristocracy overrode a weak king, seizing control of his territories to grant to their allies along with noble titles without royal decree. The Bolgorad Treaties made concessions to the Draasen, legalizing several of these peerages, but also restoring the Haasen family to the throne. ============================================================ Blackgorge Kind: item Page: Blackgorge Formal name: Blackgorge Type: Disease First appearance: Untold Legend of Captain Marvel Vol 1 1 Created by: Tom Brevoort; Mike Kanterovich Reality: Earth-616 History: Blackgorge was a disease that was said to seriously affect the Kree by Una. ============================================================ Blightswill (Otherworld) Kind: item Page: Blightswill Formal name: Blightswill Type: Beverage First appearance: Wolverine Vol 7 7 Created by: Benjamin Percy; Gerry Duggan; Joshua Cassara Reality: Otherworld History: Blightswill was consumed as an alcoholic drink on Otherworld.

Howard; Roy Thomas; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Conan Previous owners: Naka, Bel-Hissar; unnamed thief; unnamed Acherionian wizard; Khossus V; unnamed Himelian chieftain; Skol Abdhur; Turghol; Tania; Yezdigerd Material: Ruby Properties: The Blood of Bel-Hissar seemed to have mesmerizing capabilities on humans, urging people to take it and cut down those who killed its owner.; An half-remembered spell cast by Tania on the Blood Jewel of Bel-Hissar caused the unleashing of deadly Fire-Demons.; The Jewel could allegedly only be passed on by being stolen, by force or stealth. Throwing it away would have the gem floating mid-air. Notes: The Blood of Bel-Hissar was created in the eponymous story published in Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 27 (June, 1973), written by Roy Thomas and penciled by John Buscema, a story freely adapted from Robert E. Howard's Cormac Fitzgeoffrey story "The Blood of Belshazzar" (Oriental Stories; Fall, 1931). History: ===Early Years===; The original name of the gem, if any, is unknown. The ruby was held by a monstrous mummified king carved upon a jade throne, within a city of marble and lapis lazuli built by an unidentified race.; ===Age of Acheron===; By the time of the rule of King Bel-Hissar of Acheron, the city was far beyond the surface of the sea.; Naka, a diver for pearls, was brought back to the royal galley of Bel-Hissar, presenting him the gem, and telling him of the city, before dying. Despite his lords' begging him to throw gem back to the waters, believing it to belong to the Sea-Gods. Bel-Hissar refused after having gazed into the gem.; Soon afterwards, Bel-Hissar was slain in his very palace by a thief who stole the gem.; ===Fall of Acheron===; During the Sack of Python, Khossus V, the monarch of Koth, took it from a dying wizard.; ===Hyborian Age===; During the Hyborian Age, the Blood of Bel-Hissar drifted eastwards. Circa 10,000 BC, a Himelian chieftain acquired it, only to be slain by Skol Abdhur. In Bab-El-Shaithan, Skol Abdhur used it to ensure his dominance, safe from threats by the fact the Blood of Bel-Hissar would compel all to take down the one who would kill him and take the gem. Skol Abdhur learned of the jewel's secrets, of its blood-craving, and quenched its thirst with the blood of women who came at Bab-El-Shaithan.; When Suwaan, Turghol and Conan came to Bab-El-Shaithan, Suwaan hired two brigands (one from each factions in Bab-El-Shaithan) to assassinate Conan, Skol Abdhur, and his Kushite bodyguards, and help her steal the gem. Conan and Turghol both slew one brigand, Turghol finding the Blood of Bel-Hissar on one of them.; Suwaan turned the other dwellers of the city against Conan, who managed to escape with the assistance of Turghol. Turghol then revealed he had snatched the ruby. Conan hesitated to try and take the gem for himself, but choose to stand down and left Turghol in peace. The brigands of Bab-El-Shaithan, sure that Conan didn't had the Blood, turned against Suwaan who was quickly slain, before proceeding to slaughter each other.; Ten years later, Turghol's new wife Tania wanted to wear the gem despite her husband's warnings about the curse. A shaman's daughter, Tania believed she could remove the curse, and thus took (or rather stole) the gem. Her half-remembered spell misfired, unleashing Fire-Demons who ravaged the Bahari village and killed many among the Bahari Kozaks. The survivors were captured by the Turanian troops of Yezdigerd, who took the Blood Jewel of Bel-Hissar, intending to incorporate it into the crown of Turan once his father Yildiz dead. Recently made hetman of the Bahari Kozaks, Conan was captured by Yezdigerd. Sentenced to death with Tania, Conan caused a brawl and Tania recast her half-remembered spell, unleashing the Fire-Demons upon the Turanian camp.; Returning to the Bahari, Turghol brutally took the Blood Jewel from Tania, thus lifting the curse set on her and reclaiming the Jewel. Trying to throw it away, Turghol saw the gem float mid-air and return to his palm, and consequently tried to commit suicide to evade the curse, but was stopped by Conan, who owed Turghol his life, and thus took upon himself the gem and its curse. ============================================================ Black Tom Cassidy's Shillelagh Kind: item Page: Black Tom Cassidy's Shillelagh Formal name: Black Tom Cassidy's Shillelagh Type: Shillelagh First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 150 Created by: Louise Simonson Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Black Tom Cassidy History: Black Tom Cassidy's Shillelagh is a shillelagh wielded by the mutant Black Tom Cassidy.

Anyone exposed to light reflected from the bottle would become hypnotized, shrink in size, and be drawn into its interior. According to Elias Poole, the artifact possessed additional abilities: it could miniaturize entire buildings, flatten three-dimensional objects into two dimensions when filled with water, and even create a duplicate Earth by reflecting sunlight from space. Before any of these powers were fully realized, the bottle was destroyed, ending its threat. History: Elias Poole was the proprietor of a curiosity shop who came into possession of a mystical artifact known as the Blue Glass Bottle during his travels in Asia. Bringing it back to the United States, he discovered the bottle’s ability to shrink individuals and trap them inside. Poole tested the artifact on both a woman and a man, confirming its effects worked on both sexes, and began plotting to use it for theft and extortion. His plans were foiled when one of the victims reflected light from the bottle into Poole’s eyes, activating the bottle’s magic and causing him to shrink uncontrollably. Poole ultimately vanished, leaving the victims freed and the bottle destroyed before any further powers could be exploited. ============================================================ Blood of the Gods Kind: item Page: Blood of the Gods Formal name: Blood of the Gods First appearance: Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 28 Created by: Robert E. Howard; Roy Thomas; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Notes: Based on Robert E. Howard's El Borak story "Blood of the Gods."; The Blood of the Gods is the treasure at the heart of Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 28. In Marvel’s Conan adaptation, it is listed among the issue's key items, and the story frames it as the object of obsession that draws Conan, Alwazir, and their enemies into the Eastern Desert. In Robert E. Howard's original source material, the phrase refers to Al Wazir's fabulous matched rubies.; The treasure is not presented as a living being or magical artifact with a formal power set History: The Blood of the Gods is treated as a buried desert treasure tied to Alwazir's retreat and to the violence that follows anyone who tries to seize it. Later reference material describes the gems as Alwazir's jewels and notes that many who pursued them died, with one retelling stating that the jewels were eventually cast into the Vilayet Sea. ============================================================ Blood Light Kind: item Page: Blood Light Formal name: Blood Light Type: Energy First appearance: Breaking the Dark: A Jessica Jones Marvel Crime Novel Created by: Lisa Jewell Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Polly Devereux; Arthur Simms History: Blood Light was described as the ethereal essence that lived all over the Earth for thousands of years ever since human beings first started to experience grief and pain, living and breathing just under its surface but unknown to anyone but the most bloodthirsty of people. When Polly Devereux and her partner Arthur Simms were attempting to build an app that would allow them to transfer the perceived physical defects of one person and place them onto another, they exhausted every avenue until Arthur remembered the idea of Blood Light that his father told him about. His father had been traveling around Latveria and had heard about it but could never find it. Eventually, presumably with the help of Arthur's bloodthirsty father, Polly and Arthur were able to harness the power of blood light that surrounded the St. John and St. Peter's Church in Barton Wallop (due to the deaths of twelve children that occurred centuries ago) and implement it into their app named Miranda. Private investigator Jessica Jones used her phone to scan a QR code that promoted Miranda. The blood light infused app caused her phone to heat up and display written text without any sign that the app was actually installed. At launch, the app was successful and removed all the defects of its users and transferred them onto Amina Sultanov and Audrey Hill-Lock, two teenage girls kidnapped by Polly and Arthur and held inside specialized holding chambers, being forced to take on multiple user's physical defects. After Jessica Jones put a stop to Polly and Arthur's plans, it is unknown what happened to the blood light they had harnessed. ============================================================ Bluesky Kind: item Page: Bluesky Formal name: Bluesky Other aliases: The Worldmaker Engine Type: Technology First appearance: Free Comic Book Day 2010 (Iron Man/Thor) Vol 1 1 Created by: Matt Fraction; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by Iron Man to terraform Mars.

Subsequent stories have disproven this claim.; Since the Ancient One used time travel to obtain the book, it should not have existed on the Earthly plane between the point in time when he obtained it in ancient Babylonia to the point in time in the 19th century when he arrived from the past with the book. But some texts do refer to the Book of the Vishanti as having been in the possession of several other Sorcerer Supremes during that period. Trivia: The page and appendix numbering in Doctor Strange: The Book of the Vishanti: A Magical Exploration of the Marvel Universe are discontinued (with many gaps of between consecutive pages), matching references to spells made notably in Brian Michael Bendis's New Avengers Vol 2, while other articles matches the titles of the suite of mini-series "The Book of the Vishanti" from Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1. History: Given the vast knowledge present in the Book of the Vishanti of pages, the book was presumably dictated by the Vishanti to the first practitioners of white magic. The original contents were written by Agamotto sometime before the fall of Atlantis. The first known possessor of the book was the sorcerer Varnae.; Several millennia ago, the book fell into the hands of priests of the Babylonian god Marduk and they appointed a sacred griffin to guard it. At some point "many decades" before the 20th century, the sorcerer Yao (sometimes known as the Ancient One) travelled back in time to ancient Babylonia and, by defeating the beast guardian, he became the destined possessor of the book following a prophecy "written in words of flame."; ===Modern Age===; In the 20th century, the Ancient One shared the book with his pupil Doctor Strange. When the evil sorcerer Kaluu stole the book, memorized its contents and sent it to its origin point in the ancient past, the Ancient One and Doctor Strange travelled to the past to re-capture it in ancient Babylon, again defeating the griffin.; Doctor Strange used the Book to cast the Spell of Tartashi to detect deception among the New Avengers, though this failed to detect Veranke, the Skrull posing as Jessica Drew.; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; In Earth-199999, the Book of Vishanti is mystical book of pure good that is the light counterpart of the Darkhold, it also grants sorcerers the power and knowledge to defeat their enemies.; Well several other members of the Masters of the Mystic Arts believe that the Book of the Vishanti is nothing more than a fairy-tale, but only the Sorcerer Supreme is aware that the book in fact exists; due to a secret book that has been passed down from one Sorcerer Supreme to the next.; But despite this, the Sorcerer Supreme does not know the Book of the Vishanti's exact location; due to the fact that he or she is completely unaware of the existence of the Gap Junction dimension. Christine Palmer led America Chavez and Stephen Strange into the Gap Junction dimension, in order to retrieve the Book of the Vishanti.; But Wanda Maximoff, who was dreamwalking in her alternate-self, quickly caught up with America, Christine and Stephen simultaneously, but despite Stephen's best efforts, Wanda had destroyed the Book of Vishanti before Stephen could use it.; But considering the fact that, the Book of Vishanti is the light counterpart of the Darkhold, it is very likely that, there are several other copies of the book throughout the entire multiverse.; ==Chapters==; The Mark of the Vodû!; The Mark of the Vodû!

It has been used by various authors including H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard and August Derleth. History: ===Origin===; The Book of Eibon was written by an apprentice to the sorcerer Eibon in Pre-Cataclysmic Hyperborea.Tomes of Eldritch Knowledge; ===19th century===; In 1843, the priest of the church of Unity, New England, developed an interest in the esoteric. The priest left his collection of occult books to the parish as legacy after his death. According to rumors, the library (comprised primarily of books acquired by the priest) possibly included the Book of Eibon, among other tomes.; ===Modern Age===; By the Modern Age, the Book of Eibon, considered an abomination like other occult tomes, was believed to have been long destroyed.; The Book of Eibon was one of many ancient tomes and magical talismans possessed by Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange), the Sorcerer Supreme. It was stolen along the rest of those mystic items and the full Sanctum Sanctorum by Urthona, a sorcerer from planet Gevaltu. Outforced, Strange was forced to destroy the books and talismans to prevent Urthona from using them. The Book of Eibon was later restored to Strange by Agamotto.Tomes of Eldritch Knowledge; Agatha Harkness learnt about the private library in Unity, and went there with the Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff), hoping to find useful books to help shed some light on Wanda's nature as a Nexus being.; Nugent had access to the content of the Book of Eibon, and intended to have it added to the magical encyclopedia Magik had him assemble for her war.; ==Content==; The "frightful" Book of Eibon was a mean to summon "strange creatures and stranger gods". ============================================================ Book of Cagliostro Kind: item Page: Book of Cagliostro Formal name: Il Libro di Cagliostro Other aliases: Book of Cagliostro Type: Magical Books First appearance: Marvel Premiere Vol 1 12 Created by: Steve Englehart; Mike Friedrich; Frank Brunner Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Cagliostro Additional designers: Sise-Neg the Sorcerer Previous owners: Lilia Calderu; Karl Mordo; Cagliostro History: Originally penned by the mystic Cagliostro in the 1780s, Il Libro di Cagliostro (lit. "The Book of Cagliostro") is an account of Cagliostro's personal history, and a collection of mystic knowledge gathered from numerous sources, including passages of the Darkhold, notes from 31st century sorcerer Sise-Neg, as well as Cagliostro's own considerable knowledge.; Followers of Cagliostro were entrusted with guarding the book, which was passed down through the generations. It would come into the possession of a woman named Miarka, the mistress of Nikolai Mordo, who passed it to her daughter Lilia, who then passed it to her daughter, Lilia Calderu. Calderu would eventually be seduced by Karl Mordo, who then assaulted her and stole the Book of Cagliostro, hoping to use its power to defeat the Ancient One.; Mordo would eventually use the Book to travel back in time, hoping to convince a time-displaced Sise-Neg to take him on as an apprentice. Hoping to stop him, Calderu would help Dr. Strange track down the Book, which Strange used to track down Mordo.; The fate of the Book of Cagliostro after Strange used it to travel back in time is unknown. ============================================================ Boudicca (Earth-8009) Kind: item Page: Boudicca Formal name: Boudicca Type: Technology First appearance: All-New Savage She-Hulk Vol 1 1 Created by: Fred van Lente; Peter Vale; Robert Atkins Reality: Earth-8009 Lead designer: Milago scientists Place of creation: Milago Current owner: Lyra Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Milago scientists reverse engineered a child's toy to be a direct link to the Gynosure, containing the collective knowledge of Milago. ============================================================ Brazier of Bom'Galiath Kind: item Page: Brazier of Bom'Galiath Formal name: Brazier of Bom'Galiath Type: Unique Brazier First appearance: Thor Vol 1 443 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange History: The Brazier of Bom'Galiath maintained the spell allowing Eric Masterson to enter Mephisto's Realm undetected. ============================================================ Brazier of Balthakk Kind: item Page: Brazier of Balthakk Formal name: Brazier of Balthakk Type: Structure First appearance: Iron Man Vol 3 21 Created by: Kurt Busiek; Roger Stern; Tom Grummett Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Balthakk Place of creation: Nunavut, Canada Current owner: Balthakk Previous owners: Inferno Model: Unique History: Located inside the Temple of Balthakk, the Brazier of Balthakk was designed to channel the power of the mystical entity Balthakk, to empower his exemplar on Earth for the Wager of the Octessence. ============================================================ Book of Antag (Earth-691) Kind: item Page: Book of Antag Formal name: Book of Antag Type: Books First appearance: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 1 Created by: Jim Valentino Reality: Earth-691 Lead designer: Antag Current owner: Yondu Previous owners: Ancient One (Stephen Strange) Notes: The last clue in the Book of Antag reads: "...Beyond the Plieades, around a star that gives no light...awaits the shield for any worthy enough to possess it!" This clue was also inscribed, in runes similar to those used by the Centaurians, on a stone tablet kept in a temple on the planet Entem. Although Pleiades was spelled correctly in issue #4, it was misspelled in issues #5 and 25.; Despite being written in Centaurian runes, the fact that Yondu had never heard of the Book of Antag and did not know its origin suggests that it was not something held sacred by the natives of Centauri-IV. There is also no indication that the book itself was magical or had been created by magic.; The two accounts of how the Book of Antag was found by the Guardians differ slightly, with the later version clarifying that the book was not from Yondu's world and that it was Major Astro who first noticed the chapter about the familiar-looking shield.; It has never been confirmed that it was the Ancient One who was responsible for secretly placing the Book of Antag among Yondu's belongings.; It has not been revealed when and where Antag wrote the book, how he knew that the shield was on Klatuu, and if the clues were meant for certain people (like the Guardians or, more specifically, Major Astro). History: The Book of Antag was created by Antag, a space wanderer who once served Dr. Doom and who took pleasure in puzzle making. According to Mainframe, Antag wrote to book to leave clues that would lead to the location of Captain America's shield.; In 3017 A.D., Yondu Udonta, a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, found a copy of the Book of Antag, written in the runes used by the Centaurian people, among his belongings aboard their starship, the Freedom's Lady. Wondering if the strange book might have been a gift from the Ancient One, whom the Guardians had met several months earlier, Yondu took it to Major Astro. While examining the book, Astro came across an illustration of a brightly colored disk that supposedly granted its possessor invincibility in battle. Astro recognized the disk as Captain America's shield and concluded that the book was a galaxy-spanning puzzle that led to the shield.; The mercenary team known as Force obtained a second copy of the Book of Antag and began to solve the clues that led to the location of the legendary shield which, they believed, would make them literally invincible. Force apparently did not know that the demon Mephisto had made certain that they had come into possession of that copy so that they would eventually battle the Guardians for the shield and, Mephisto hoped, destroy them. ============================================================ Book of Thoth Kind: item Page: Book of Thoth Formal name: Book of Thoth Other aliases: Forbidden Book of Thoth; Thoth's Book; Egyptian Book of Magic Type: Magical Book First appearance: Captain America Comics Vol 1 20 Created by: Al Avison Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Spawn of the Witch Queen; Witch Queen of Egypt; ----; ;Sir Harry Everett Barclay; Baronet Lohrville;; ----; ;Vali Halfling; Nefer-Ka-Ptah Notes: The Book of Thoth is a name given to many ancient Egyptian texts supposed to have been written by the Egyptian god Thoth. It also appeared in various fictional media:Book of Thoth; The Book of Thoth was mentioned in "Through the Gates of the Silver Key", by H.P. Lovecraft and E. Hoffmann Price.; The relation, if any, between the 36,535 Lost Scrolls of Thoth and the Book of Thoth is unknown. History: ===Witch Queen's copy===; One version was originally in the possession of the so called "Witch Queen" of Egypt who used it to her own ends until her death. She had the book hidden in her tomb and had her son mummified along with her. She left instructions on how to resurrect her son so that he could in turn return her to life.

After Akira became Tony Stark's partner in their quest to find the DISKs and stop Loki, Tony had Pepper Potts upgrade the in-line skates to Booster Skates. This was mostly meant as a bribe so Akira would agree to help Tony with his research.; For the upgrade, Pepper added a power unit and thrusters to both skates, allowing the skates to move under their own power. They are powered by a battery that lasts approximately 3 hours. The booster skates are also equiped with a automatic collision avoidance system, so they automatically steer away from any obstacles blocking their path.; When Akira first tried them out, the skates however turned out to contain a bug that made the brakes refuse to work. As a result, Akira nearly fell of an uncompleted bridge. Fortunately, Thor and Hikaru were able to save him. After this incident, the bug was fixed and the Booster Skates became a regular mode of transport for Akira. ============================================================ Box Armor Model 1 Kind: item Page: Box Armor Model 1 Formal name: Box Armor Mark I Other aliases: Box Robot Type: Armor First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 1 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Canadian; Battlesuit Lead designer: Roger Bochs Additional designers: James Hudson Place of creation: Moosejaw, Saskatchewan, Canada Previous owners: Roger Bochs; Jerome Jaxon Dimensions: 7'0" Weight: 465 lbs Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The Mark I Box Armor has the following abilities:; Durability: Model 1 was composed primarily of steel and was highly resistant to potential damage.; Power: The Model 1 had a powerful internal power pack which could be used to send an electric shock through the arms.; Cybernetic Control: Use of the remote helmet allowed a user to experience the perceptions of the Box robot and control it to perform actions.; Strength: The Model 1 Box robot possessed superhuman strength, able to lift/press 40 tons. History: The original Box “armor” is more accurately a robot. Created by Roger Bochs, the robot was controlled through a psycho-cybernetic helmet. The helmet was connected by cable to a transmitter which allowed the helmet wearer to control the robot’s actions and perceive what the robot perceived.; After discovering that Bochs was working on developing the robot, James Hudson assisted, having expertise in cybernetic control helmets. He then drafted Bochs to join Beta Flight as ‘’’Box.’’’ Following the dissolution of Department H, Bochs returned to Moosejaw to continue tinkering with his design.; It was there that Bochs was contacted by Roxxon Oil employee Delphine Courtney who used a device to emotionally manipulate him into working with her employer, Jerome Jaxon. Once in New York City, Jaxon revealed his plans. Bochs would not agree to go along with it so Jaxon used the control helmet to operate Box and used it to attack Hudson, ultimately leading to Hudson’s death.; Following this, Bochs scrapped the first version of Box and worked with Madison Jeffries a newer model to prevent others from using his creations.; Versions of this model were modified as programmable robots to be used by Department to capture and contain Alpha Flight before being destroyed by Hudson. ============================================================ Box Armor Model 2 Kind: item Page: Box Armor Model 2 Formal name: Box Armor Mark II Type: Armor First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 22 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Canadian; Battlesuit Lead designer: Roger Bochs Additional designers: Madison Jeffries Place of creation: Moosejaw, Saskatchewan, Canada Previous owners: Roger Bochs; Walter Langkowski; Madison Jeffries Dimensions: 7'0" Weight: 465 lbs Model: 2 Version: 1 Properties: The Mark II Box Armor has the following abilities:; Superhuman Durability: Model 2 was composed primarily of a “living metal” (the exact details of which were never disclosed) and demonstrated superhuman durability (e.g. able to resist deep sea pressure).; Power: The Model 1 had a powerful internal power pack which could be used to send an electric shock through the arms.; Flight: The Model 2 was equipped with boot jets and stabilizers allowing it to fly with speeds up to Mach 2 to orbital velocity.; Weaponry: This version was cable of directed energy blasts from its palms. The exact details are not known.; Sensors: Model 2 had a wide array of sensing and tracking capabilities, including the ability to interface with computers and intercept radio signals.; Operation: Unlike the previous version, this model allowed users to “phase in” and actually become one with the robot. There was a danger in remaining part of the robot for too long and forming a permanent symbiosis and not be able to “phase out.”; Superhuman Strength: Box robot possessed superhuman strength, able to lift/press 85 tons. History: After his first Box robot was used to help kill James Hudson, Roger Bochs set out to build a “better Box.” He wanted to ensure that this version could not be controlled by others. To that end, he recruited former Gamma Flight member Mr. Jeffries to help re-engineer his designs.; Combining their skills, the two were able to develop the Model 2 out of “living metal” which allowed the user to “phase into” the robot. Bochs planned to use his new form to track down Jerome Jaxon and the members of Omega Flight who had killed Hudson.; Later connecting to Alpha Flight, Bochs gave up control of his robot to Walter Langkowski, whose spirit had been separated from his physical form. During that time of separation, Langkowski's physical form had deteriorated to the point where it could no longer host him but the Box robot worked because there was no risk of permanent physical symbiosis (since there was no physical version of Langkowski). Langkowski then began operating as the hero Box.; Growing dissatisfied with not having a biological form, Langkowski and Bochs searched the Crossroads and believed they had found a new form for Langkowski to inhabit. Transferring Langkowski's consciousness along a harness, the form appeared but turned out to be the Hulk. With Langkowski's presence now gone, Bochs resumed his role as Box and became a full-fledged member of Alpha Flight.; Bochs' role as Box was later stolen by his friend Jeffries when Bochs began to act erratically and risked harming his teammates. Jeffries used his powers to force Bochs to phase out of the armor and seek medical attention.; The Model 2 was “destroyed” when Mr. Jeffries used his metal mutating abilities to phase in and re-shape it into the Model 3. ============================================================ Box Armor Model 3 Kind: item Page: Box Armor Model 3 Formal name: Box Armor Mark III Other aliases: Box Robot Type: Armor First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 48 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Terry Shoemaker Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Canadian; Battlesuit Lead designer: Madison Jeffries Place of creation: New Life Clinic, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Previous owners: Madison Jeffries Dimensions: Variable; usually 10' Weight: Variable; usually 1200 lbs Model: 3 Version: 1 Properties: The Mark III Box Armor has the following abilities:; Durability: Model 3 was composed primarily of a “living metal” (the exact details of which were never disclosed) and demonstrated superhuman durability (e.g. able to resist deep sea pressure).; Shape-shifting: Jeffries can use his psionic powers to create new technologies and adaptive equipment for Box, or to modify existing devices within Box and alter its shape, in any way that he can conceive. For example, he has caused part of Box's body to become a cannon and a weapon capable of discharging living light. When Box flies, he can cause its arms to become wings or extend them from his back and a rudder to appear on its feet. He has also caused a drill to emerge from Box's feet and has created weaponry adapted to face whatever foe is being confronted. Jeffries is able to alter the robot as needed such as forming weapons or adapting sensors, in addition by drawing upon outside material, he can increase the size of the robot to unknown limits.; Flight: The Model 3 was equipped with boot jets and stabilizers allowing it to fly with speeds up to Mach 2 to orbital velocity. Jeffries’ version was able to make use of and expand those abilities with the ability to generate wings or larger thrusters.; Weaponry: This version was cable of directed energy blasts from its palms. The exact details are not known.; Sensors: Model 3 had a wide array of sensing and tracking capabilities, including the ability to interface with computers and intercept radio signals.; Operation: Unlike the previous version, this model allowed users to “phase in” and actually become one with the robot. There was a danger in remaining part of the robot for too long and forming a permanent symbiosis and not be able to “phase out.”; Strength: The “standard” Box robot form possessed superhuman strength, able to lift/press 85 tons. Jeffries can cause the Box robot to grow to enormous size, thereby increasing its strength. The uppermost limit of Box's strength is unknown. History: When the creator of the original two Box robots went mad, his friend Madison Jeffries had no choice but to use his mutant abilities to take over the robotic form. He then used his metal manipulating abilities to re-shape the previous version into a new, more malleable version of box.; As the newest incarnation of Box, Jeffries was able to use his powers to make this version of the Box robot into “Swiss army knife” of armor; creating whatever tools he needed, whether it was weaponry or becoming a vehicle.; While Jeffries did maintain a fairly consistent “look” to his robot, he would occasionally change the appearance and colour scheme. ============================================================ Brazen Bull Kind: item Page: Brazen Bull Formal name: Brazen Bull Type: Torture Device First appearance: Hellstorm: Prince of Lies Vol 1 15 Created by: Warren Ellis; Leonardo Manco Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Bailiff History: The Brazen Bull is a torturing device that places the victims within a hollow belly, and while they burn and roast inside, a series of pipes transform their screams into music. ============================================================ Brain Mine Kind: item Page: Brain Mine Formal name: Brain Mine Type: Weapon First appearance: Eternals Vol 1 4 Created by: Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Place of creation: Lemuria Current owner: Kro History: A brain mine was implanted on Ikaris' forehead when he was captured by Kro and his deviant army.; It was supposed to keep him in permanent shock. ============================================================ Bones of Eh-Yuh Kind: item Page: Bones of Eh-Yuh Formal name: Bones of Eh-Yuh Other aliases: Lost Bones of Eh-Yuh Type: Artifact First appearance: Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme Vol 1 1 Created by: Robbie Thompson; Javier Rodriguez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange Previous owners: Q'uvin the Malevolent Properties: Time Reversal: While in astral form, the Bones of Eh-Yuh can be used to reverse time back to a set point.

Box Sentinels were equipped with advanced weaponry, tracking technology and thrusters to allow flight.; Roger Bochs Jr. felt that the Stark Sentinels used by Orchis in America were "oversized monstrosities" and designed the Box Sentinels to be smaller and faster to walk through doors rather than smash through buildings.; Following the Box Sentinels' defeat, Bochs made plans to have their joints reinforced with adamantium or vibranium and suggested thicker housing for their outer shells.; Wary that the Box Sentinels' A.I. could go rogue, Bochs installed failsafe programs which would allow him to take control or shut down any Box Sentinel that acted outside of its programming from his control center. History: Due to Orchis' propaganda, the Canadian government declared mutants as threats to the country. To supplement Alpha Flight, Department H Director Erika Doiron restarted the Box program with Orchis and recruited Roger Bochs Jr. to oversee the Project. Using Orchis' proprietary tech and building off his father's work, Bochs constructed the Box Sentinels, faster and sleeker Sentinels that could effectively track down mutants while avoiding property damage and ancillary loss. Unbeknownst to Department H, Alpha Flight was secretly helping protecting mutant refugees from the government, and were worried that the Sentinels would compromise them. After Alpha Flight's (secretly planned) humiliating loss to their former mutant teammates went viral on social media, an enraged Doiron immediately ordered the Box Sentinels to be deployed, much to the Flight's worry.; When Feedback was spotted in Bend, Oregon, Doiron had Box Sentinels immediately deployed to apprehend him and forbade Alpha Flight from intervening to avoid another public defeat to mutants. With Bochs controlling them remotely, several units were destroyed by Feedback and the arriving members of Alpha Flight's mutant splinter group. After several more units were destroyed or damaged, the splinter group was able to teleport away with Feedback although the remaining units were able to severely wound Nemesis in the process. To buy Nemesis and the other mutants time, Feedback turned himself in to Alpha Flight at Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, Manitoba and was taken aboard the Omnijet as Box Sentinels arrived to escort him back to headquarters. However, due to the actions of Argent, Department H uncovered Krakoa North's location and directed the Box Sentinels there while in mid-flight. ============================================================ Bounce-Box Kind: item Page: Bounce-Box Formal name: Bounce-Box Type: Box First appearance: Iceman Vol 1 2 Created by: J.M.

However, it was later revealed that Quan himself created the book.; Orson Randall was about 33 years old when he abandoned his position and injected himself with drugs to hide his presence from the Ch'i-Lin, becoming the first known Iron Fist to escape from the creatures and live past the age of 33.; Danny Rand managed to be the first Iron Fist to defeat the Ch'i-Lin in battle on his 33rd birthday. Unfortunately, he would meet his end to the demon on his 34th birthday after giving up his title of Iron Fist.; In an alternate future, the adolescent Wah Sing-Rand died in battle against President Xing.; Fongji Wu left Earth, never to be seen again, making it extremely unlikely that she was killed by the Ch'i-Lin.; Resourceful Snake was still alive and residing on Liu-Shi in the present day.; Zhang Di was killed by the H'ylthri rather than the Ch'i-Lin.; It is never stated how Gale died, although her presence does contradict a further detail from the book.; Wong Fei-Hung would still be alive and using his powers as an old man in 1924. The real life Wong died one year later in 1925 at the age of 77 from natural causes.; The history detailed in the Book of the Iron Fist has been contradicted several times. According to Orson Randall, the book had hidden many details to its readers due to Quan Yaozu's manipulations.; Quan Yaozu was originally said to be the first Iron Fist, in the pages of Immortal Iron Fist Vol 1 23. However, this was later put into question by the introduction of Fan Fei, the Iron Fist of 1,000,000 BC, in Marvel Legacy Vol 1 1. Furthermore, she was later revealed to be actual first Iron Fist in Avengers Vol 8 13.; This contradiction was finally fixed in Avengers Vol 8 38, when Danny Rand noted that the Book of the Iron Fist omitted any mention of Fan Fei. Later, in Undead Iron Fist Vol 1 4, it was revealed that Quan, the author of the Book, had deceitfully claimed to be the first Iron Fist to help his hidden agenda.; Even though Orson Randall was described as the first outsider to be an Iron Fist, the existence of the Atlantean princess Gale during the 11th century contradicts this.; The book lists Wu Ao-Shi as the last woman to be an Iron Fist in 1545 AD despite the existence of Fongji Wu in 1596 AD.; Later on, Wu Ao-Shi was described instead as "one of only a few women to become an Immortal Iron Fist."; The book makes no mention of Resourceful Snake, who even managed to live well past the age of 33 and into the present day. However, his omission was likely due to his short tenure and having his title involuntarily stripped from him. History: The Book of the Iron Fist was created by the Iron Fist named Quan Yaozu, to document the history and techniques of every Iron Fist. Its parchment was made from the scales of Shou-Lao the Undying, which is why it glowed whenever an Iron Fist touched it, and its scriptures are only recorded in a text only decipherable to the Iron Fist and anyone who wrote in it. Quan also made the book with his own blood and chi, which allowed him to retain any details written into the book. Under the guise of passing his knowledge onto his successors, Quan planned to use the book to acquire his successors' secrets in order to gain more power for himself.; While ruling over the Eighth City, Quan would use the book to orchestrate the death of every subsequent Iron Fist, siphoning their chi when it matured at the age of 33.; Several hundreds years ago, an encounter between an unknown Iron Fist and Master Izo was recorded in the book. The existence of the Beast and the means of killing it were recorded in the Book as well.; The Book recorded every instance of the Phoenix Force coming to Earth.; In 1933, Orson Randall stole the book after he was stripped of his title for refusing to participate in the Tournament of the Heavenly Cities. Orson held onto the book for decades while he was in hiding and passed it onto his successor Danny Rand to help him prepare for the next tournament. After Orson's death and the tournament's conclusion, Danny kept the book.; While studying the book on the eve of his 33rd birthday, Danny discovered that every Iron Fist listed in the book except for Orson had died at the age of 33. As it turned out, the Ch'i-Lin and its hosts would hunt down Iron Fists on their 33rd birthday for their hearts to gain access to Shou-Lao's egg in K'un-Lun, which the creatures hoped to consume. Danny tried in vain to look for clues in the book to defeat the Ch'i-Lin.; After his girlfriend Misty Knight's pregnancy was determined to be a false positive, Danny spent days studying the book and discovered that an Immortal Weapon's chi could produce such a result. He also recorded his adventures with the new Power Man.; When Danny was appointed as the new Thunderer, he introduced the Book of the Iron Fist to his potential successor, Pei, who used the book to resurrect all of the deceased incarnations of Shou-Lao. Danny would use a special technique from the book to summon Pei when she was trapped in Kamaloka.; The book was stolen from Danny's vault by the Constrictor, who attempted to barter it with Choshin for money, but the deal fell through when he increased his price. Danny and Sabretooth confronted Constrictor and the Serpent Society at their hideout to reclaim the book just as Choshin, the Rat of 12 Plagues, Liwei, Eel of Blessed Waters, and Choshin's henchman arrived to take the book by force. Constrictor fled with the book in the confusion, but was defeated and looted by Choshin and his allies. Choshin then used the preserved hand of Zhang Di to decipher the book and create a portal to K'un-Lun to sack the city. Danny was able to recover the book during the battle and used it to summon Shao-Lao back to the city to defeat Choshin.; After Orson Randall died and ended up in the Underworld, he uncovered Quan's treachery. He revealed this secret to Danny after he was killed by the Ch'i-Lin and arrived in the Underworld. Orson said that Danny had a chance to resurrect himself if he could take down Quan, who had reclaimed the book after Danny's death. The book's whereabouts became unknown after Quan was killed and Danny returned to the Duat. ============================================================ Bracelets of Strife and Regret Kind: item Page: Bracelets of Strife and Regret Formal name: Bracelets of Strife and Regret Type: Bracelet First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 7 450 Created by: Derek Landy; Ivan Fiorelli Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magic Current owner: Doctor Stephen Strange History: Made from the finger bones of a sorcerer whose own evil impulses led to his agonizing demise. ============================================================ Brain-Tracer Kind: item Page: Brain-Tracer Formal name: Brain-Tracer Type: Technology, scanner First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 148 Created by: Gerry Conway; Rich Buckler Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Reed Richards Place of creation: Baxter Building, New York City, New York Place of destruction: Baxter Building, New York City, New York Previous owners: Reed Richards Properties: The Brain-Tracer can detect the presence of a person simply by analyzing the brain-wave patterns of the environment. History: The Brain-Tracer was a device invented and constructed by Reed Richards during an emergency following the Fantastic Four's return from their confrontation with Namor at his Underwater Fortress.; Upon arriving at the Baxter Building, the Fantastic Four were ambushed by the Frightful Four. The Wizard had previously short-circuited the building's warning alert system, preventing Reed from determining the location of the intruders. In response, Reed immediately devised and assembled the Brain-Tracer, a device similar in function to his Psi-Amplifier that could detect an individual's brain-wave patterns.; Using the Brain-Tracer, Reed successfully located the Wizard's position within the building. However, the Wizard anticipated Reed's actions and burst into the laboratory before he could make use of the device. He destroyed the Brain-Tracer, preventing Reed from using it to track the remaining members of the Frightful Four. ============================================================ Captain America's Shield Kind: item Page: Captain America's Shield Formal name: Captain America's Shield Type: Shield First appearance: Captain America Comics Vol 1 1 Created by: Joe Simon; Jack Kirby Lead designer: Daniel Agobje Place of creation: The Forge Current owner: Steve Rogers Previous owners: Bucky Barnes; Ian Rogers; John Walker; Sam Wilson Alternate owners: Vance Astro (Earth-691); Danielle Cage (Earth-15061); Margaret Carter (Earth-82111); Margaret Carter (Earth-86315); Shannon Carter (Earth-982); Frank Castle (Earth-93070); Conan (Earth-21924); Phil Coulson (Earth-16112); Carol Danvers (Earth-2301); Danielle Moonstar (Earth-25221); Karl Morningdew (Earth-138); Peter Parker (Earth-97719); Alex Power (Earth-68326); Charli Ramsey (Earth-6160); Sarah Rogers (Earth-9811); Sharon Rogers (Earth-415); Scott Summers (Earth-81122) Material: Vibranium/Iron alloy aka Proto-Adamantium; Uru Dimensions: Concave disc, 762 mm (30") in diameter Weight: 12 lbs (5443.11 g) Model: Unique Properties: Captain America's primary weapon is his shield, a concave disk 2.5 feet in diameter, and weighing 12 pounds. It is virtually indestructible. The shield is made of a unique Wakandan Vibranium/Proto-Adamantium Iron alloy that has never been duplicated, although numerous scientists have tried, sometimes achieving 99% of the shield's strength. MacLain began experimenting with the process that creates Adamantium as a young scientist in the employ of the United States government in the early 1940s. By accident, he created a special Adamantium compound which is more nearly indestructible than any form of Adamantium created ever since, and then through another accident, fused this Adamantium sample he had created with a sample of Wakandan Vibranium. The exact chemical composition of Captain America’s Shield and the exact degree to which it is indestructible have never been determined, nor has MacLain or anyone else ever learned how to duplicate either the special Adamantium compound used in the creation of the shield, which is known as Proto-Adamantium or the process which fused the Proto-Adamantium with the Wakandan Vibranium. It's atomic structure is possibly unique in the universe; Molecule Man stated that although Thor's hammer Mjolnir and the Silver Surfer's surfboard were bound together by strange forces, the shield was even stranger. Thor's statement that "there is none other like it in all the worlds" implies that the shield's uniqueness extends to other dimensions like Asgard. The shield has some resistance to Intangibility. During the Siege of Asgard, Rogers used it to block the Void's attack, which used its intangibility to impale and inflict pain on its opponents with its tentacles.; The shield has great aerodynamic properties: it is able to slice through the air with minimal wind resistance and deflection of path. It's great overall resilience, combined with its natural concentric stiffness, enables it to rebound from objects with minimal loss of angular momentum. It is, pretty much, virtually indestructible: it is resistant to penetration, temperature extremes, and the entire electromagnetic spectrum of radiation. The only way it can be damaged in any way is by tampering with its molecular bonding. The shield is immune to the effects of Magneto's powers.; The shield is not only impenetrable by even the strongest Adamantium, but it absorbs a near infinite amount of kinetic energy from forces direct against it because of its Vibranium component. That is why the Hulk and Thor can pound it while Cap is holding it, without simply sending him into the ground or the air. Cap has also used the shield to cushion the force of impact when dropped from several stories by standing on the shield. The shield was infused with Uru enhancements by the dwarves of Svartalfheim, making it stronger than before. The shield's durability is so immensely high that it's capable of withstanding a devastating blast from a cosmic-level Celestial The Progenitor without sustaining any damage.; The only vulnerable component that can be affected by conventional weapons are the shield's internal holding straps; the master blade wielding mercenary, Machete, managed to once in a trick-shot throw of his blades to sever them while Cap was wielding his shield. While this made the weapon much more cumbersome to use since it forced Cap to hold it by it's rim, he was able to drive off the assailant so he could replace the straps at home.; After the Builder wars, Iron Man laced nanites within the shield encoded with a super-virus capable of hacking computers like Supreme Intelligence.; ==Other Shields Used by Captain America==; Originally Captain America carried a steel shield, resembling the traditional shield found in the Seal of the United States. This shield remained among the Captain's personal effects until it was crushed by Mr. Hyde in Avengers Vol 1 275.; A similar, traditionally-shaped shield made of vibranium was given as a gift from the Black Panther of Wakanda as a token of a pledge to stay out of World War II. Supposedly, it is on exhibit in a Wakandan museum.; A third shield of the traditional design resided for some time in the Smithsonian museum. This version was used in combat against Hydra agents while the original was lost in the Atlantic. The "Smithsonian" variant was eventually destroyed in battle against the Kree.; As "the Captain", Rogers used a disc-shaped shield composed of True Adamantium, given to him by Stark.; After returning the adamantium shield following the Armor Wars, Rogers used a discus-shaped Wakandan vibranium shield given to him by the Black Panther.; An Energy Shield from Sharon Carter, which was capable of changing shape due to a 'flexibility matrix.'; A round Osmium Steel shield from Doctor Doom.; A traditionally-shaped shield is currently being used by the Patriot. It is presumably a replica.; A shield he used during the time Sam Wilson was wielding his round shield.; An all black shield with four a white star in the middle. It was given to Sam by Misty Knight.; Bucky Barnes' secondary shield had light blue stripes and a slightly darker middle.; Aaron Fischer was given a shield made from a metal called lunellum by Moon Girl.; ==Other Shield Wielders==; ===Earth-616 shield===; Sam Wilson, while he was standing in for Steve Rogers.; Wonder Man while battling with the Avengers against Count Nefaria (after Cap was barely able to stand and pursue the Count and gave the shield to Simon).; John Walker, while he was standing in for Steve Rogers.; James "Bucky" Barnes, while he was standing in for Steve Rogers.; Clint Barton, while he was temporarily standing in for Steve Rogers (when he was thought to be deceased).; Kelsey Leigh, who was killed during a battle involving the Avengers and the Wrecking Crew trying to protect a downed Captain America.; The Thing utilized It to defeat Namor, who was being manipulated by Dr. Doom.; Bobbi Morse, who picked it up to defend the rest of the temporarily depowered New Avengers against the Wrecking Crew.; Valkyrie utilized It against the D.O.A..; Baron Zemo, who picked it up to defend Steve Rogers from a rampaging Moonstone, when the Avengers and Thunderbolts came to blows.; ===Alternate Realities' Shield Wielders===; Major Victory, the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, found the shield in that alternate future.; Nathan Dayspring, the leader of the Clan Rebellion, found the shield in that alternate future.; Crusader, alternate reality daughter of Steve Rogers and Rogue, where the Secret Wars participants never left Battleworld. She wielded Mjolnir in conjunction with it.; Superman used the shield, along with Mjolnir, to fight alongside the Avengers and his fellow Justice League teammates.; Daredevil stole the Earth-13584 shield after defeating U.S.Agent in combat.; Cole North was given U.S.Agent's shield to battle the Hand. Notes: Originally, Marvel decided to discontinue use of Captain America's traditionally shaped shield after rival comic book publisher MLJ (now Archie Comics) complained that the design was too similar to that of their own patriotic hero, "the Shield." It was at that point that they first switched to the discus-shaped shield. No explanation was given at the time.; Rogers' indestructible shield has often been referred to as being an adamantium-vibranium alloy. This is a result of early entries from the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 1: Captain America's entry in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 1 2, Captain America's Shield, and Adamantium, in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 1 15.; The Adamantium entry mentions that the adamantium (a steel alloy) used in the shield was an adamantium compound, known as Proto-Adamantium.; Captain America Vol 1 303 mentions only the steel alloy, the adamantium being a latter finding while searching to recreate the shield's alloy.; The shield featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is described as made of Vibranium only. This is due to Adamantium being included in FOX's film rights at the time Captain America: The First Avenger was produced. It is unknown what, if any, changes to this will occur following the Disney-FOX merger.; In the 1960s and '70s, writers of Captain America and the Avengers pondered the true nature of Cap's indestructible shield. Some credit on the canon for the shield must be given to letter writer Fred Janssen. In the letters page of Captain America Vol 1 145, he details a theory that the shield is based upon Vibranium, Adamantium, and the work of Myron MacLain. Although other ideas proposed by Janssen are not upheld, the genesis of this letter provided Marvel creators a basis for defining Cap's Shield. Trivia: On the late night television show The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert had Captain America's shield hanging on the wall of the set. It was later featured on the set of his show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.; Captain America's shield can't be controlled by Magneto's powers.; During promos for the Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. "Uprising" event, Captain America's shield briefly replaces the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo--specifically the faded version of the shield used in promotional images for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. History: Wakandan metallurgist Dr. Daniel Agobje created the shield as a failsafe against the organization his mother co-led, the Outer Circle.; The shield was cast by Agobje. Daniel Agobje combined Vibranium with an iron alloy and created the disc-shaped shield. Agobje's coworker Myron MacLain was never able to duplicate the process due to his inability to identify an still unknown factor that played a role in it's creation.; The alloy was poured into the shape of a disc with concentric circles and a star symbol. Dr. Agobje chose the design because of he intended to use the symbol of the Outer Circle against them. Later, the shield was presented to Captain America by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.; Later, Dr. MacLain's attempts to duplicate the shield, minus Wakandan Vibranium and the mystery factor, resulted in True Adamantium. Because of this historical link, the unknown substance composing the shield is sometimes referred to as "Proto-Adamantium".; The shield was on Steve Rogers when he crashed in the arctic and was frozen in a state of suspended animation. After being revived by the Avengers, Tony Stark made several electronic and magnetic improvements upon the shield, which allowed Rogers to control the discus in flight. The additional components threw off the balance of the shield when thrown, however, and Rogers soon removed them.; In Cap's early adventures with the Avengers, the shield appeared to be destroyed a number of times, only to appear whole again in time for the next adventure. It was later explained that the curious Stark had frequently borrowed the unique shield for analysis and provided a steel replica for Cap to use each time. The true shield was once accidentally severely dented by an enraged, Odin-Force-empowered Thor, using Mjolnir, but he later reconciled and pounded out the dent.; During the original Secret Wars a portion of the shield was destroyed by Doctor Doom who had assumed the Beyonder's godlike powers. The Beyonder soon recovered his powers and, as a side effect, released a wave of energy that produced a "wish effect". That is, each person on Battleworld was able to harness a portion the Beyonder's infinite power to realize some wish. Cap's wish was to have his shield whole.; Later, Captain America lost his shield over the Atlantic Ocean and it sank to the bottom. Stark sent a crew to recover the shield, at considerable cost, and months later did manage to retrieve it (Cap used a series of steel replicas during this time). Unfortunately, the shield was dropped on the ship's deck during recovery and the once-indestructible shield shattered. After examining the pieces, Stark and Rogers discovered that it's unique molecular structure had changed. A small sub-molecular imperfection, a single misaligned molecule, was introduced. With every blow the shield took, the Vibranium within absorbed more energy and the flaw propagated to other molecules until the shield's bonds were completely and spontaneously broken down. Worse still, the energies released by the Vibranium created a shockwave that spread like a "Vibranium Cancer", violently destroying any Vibranium it encountered. Eventually, the shockwave, feeding off each newly destroyed source of Vibranium, would reach the Great Vibranium Mount in Wakanda, resulting in a blast that could destroy the world. Rogers travelled to Wakanda with the pieces of the shield taped together, hoping he could save the world by using the remaining vibranium within the shield to absorb the shockwave. In doing so he was prepared to sacrifice what remained of the shield. However, the shockwave was first intercepted by the Klaw, who absorbed it into his own body of living sound energy. Klaw soon attacked Rogers with his augmented powers. When Cap reflexively raised his shattered shield in defense, the shards absorbed the energy, and the ultra-powerful harmonics restored the Vibranium nanostructure.; For a time, Rogers was asked to relinquish the role of Captain America and the costume and shield were turned over to the new Captain America, John Walker. During this time, Rogers acted as "the Captain" and used a True Adamantium shield, provided by Stark. After the two had a falling out over the Armor Wars, Rogers decided to return the shield and, instead, used a pure Vibranium shield, provided by Black Panther. When Rogers re-assumed the mantle of Captain America, he reacquired the unique shield. As US Agent, Walker took on Rogers' Captain costume and Vibranium shield.; Thanos of Titan later shattered the shield with a single blow by using the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, but the shield was restored when Nebula obtained the Gauntlet and undid most of Thanos's villainy. On another occasion the shield was destroyed by the Molecule Man.; After the death of Rogers, Stark buried him with a replica, placed another replica in the Captain America Museum, and offered the original shield to newly revived Avenger, Hawkeye, but Hawkeye declined. After reading Rogers' will, which asked Stark to look-after Rogers' WWII partner Bucky, now calling himself the Winter Soldier, Stark offered the shield and title of Captain America to him. After Rogers' return from death, Barnes attempted to return it to him, but Rogers declined, after seeing a future event where Barnes died and believed that keeping the title of Captain America would save him.; Barnes carried the shield, until Sin, the daughter of Rogers' archenemy Red Skull, began calling herself the Red Skull and discovered an ancient Asgardian hammer, which made her the avatar of Skadi, daughter of the Asgardian God of Fear, Cul Borson. Wielding immense powers and an army of Nazis, Skadi destroyed the White House and Barnes was killed, attempting to stop her. Rogers took the shield and mantle of Captain America once again, but the shield was again destroyed, after Rogers threw it at the God of Fear himself and he broke it apart over his head, with his bare hands.; The shield was later reconstructed by Stark using the mystical Asgardian metal Uru making it "stronger than ever." The weapon-smith Dwarves of Nidavellir that helped Stark were unable to remove a crack that went across the shield and Stark offered to take the scar off, but Rogers stated that it "gave the old girl a little bit of character."; The shield was stolen by a disguised Speed Demon. Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers chased the thief, but he escaped. However, Steve Rogers later retrieved his shield. ============================================================ Breathing Gun Kind: item Page: Breathing Gun Formal name: Breathing Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Hellstorm: Prince of Lies Vol 1 12 Created by: Warren Ellis; Leonardo Manco Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Demonic Current owner: Jaine Cutter; Blade Previous owners: Stephen Loss; Son of Satan History: Only two Breathing Guns were ever made. The guns can kill demons and angels, hiss in the presence of danger or occult forces, and their bullets may be sentient. They were made for Al Capone, but disappeared soon afterwards.; One was used by Stephen Loss in 1923 to slaughter a Delaware town that had been tainted by hellish forces. One is used by Jaine Cutter.; After the Empirikul killed all magic on Earth, Mahatma Doom retrieved the Breathing Guns as part of Earth's magicians' efforts to gather the last crumbs of magic from magical artifacts, but the Guns were completely powerless.; During the Challenge of the Ghost Riders, Hellstorm was summoned by King T'challa to perform an exorcism on the Hell Charger. To tackle occult forces, Daimon gave a Breathing Gun to Blade. Later he used it against Cosmic Ghost Rider who was attacking the Avengers, thinking they were working for Johnny Blaze. ============================================================ Cape of Mercury Kind: item Page: Cape of Mercury Formal name: Cape of Mercury Other aliases: Mystic Cape of Mercury Type: Cape First appearance: Marvel Mystery Comics Vol 1 11 Created by: Paul Gustavson; Ray Gill Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Olympian; Magical; Fabric presumably enchanted by Weaver Magic Lead designer: Mercury Previous owners: Thomas Halloway; Mercury Model: Unique Properties: Flight: The cape granted its user the ability to fly in a very similar way to Doctor Strange's Cloak of Levitation. Notes: The Cape of Mercury bears some practical resemblance to Doctor Strange's Cloak of Levitation, and may have been forged using the same Weaver Magic. History: ===Origin===; According to Ian McNee, the Mystic Cape of Mercury was presumably a fabric enchanted by a Wyrdling (Weaver mage). It was allegedly created by Mercury.; ===20th century===; In 1940, the Angel (Thomas Halloway) acquired the cape from a Greek woman who have been trapped in an ancient subterranean city since 2060 BC. She told that the cape has belonged to Mercury. Wearing it the Angel was able to fly and escape from ghouls inhabiting the city. For some reason, he rarely used it later. ============================================================ Brazier of Truth Kind: item Page: Brazier of Truth Formal name: Brazier of Truth Type: Structure First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 17 Created by: Roy Thomas; Howard Purcell Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Garrett Castle Place of destruction: Garrett Castle Previous owners: Black Knight History: The Brazier of Truth resides in Garrett Castle. It was discovered by Dane Whitman, the Black Knight who proved himself worthy of lighting the flame. The Brazier allowed Whitman to contact his dead ancestor Sir Percy of Scandia. Whitman went on to contact Sir Percy for counsel on several occasions. Whitman used the Brazier of Truth to cleanse the taint from the Ebony Blade. Later, Doctor Strange helped Dane Whitman to overcome the curse that the Ebony Blade held and which was affecting his sanity. In order to rid the curse, Strange instructed him to cleave the brazier, which he did. Once destroyed, Sir Percy of Scandia appeared and thanked Whitman for giving him his freedom and said that his ancestor was proud of him. ============================================================ Caliburn Kind: item Page: Caliburn Formal name: Caliburn Other aliases: Sword of Dawn Type: Unique Sword First appearance: Knights of Pendragon Vol 1 15 Created by: Dan Abnett; John Tomlinson; Gary Erskine Origin: Magical; Arthurian Additional designers: Lady of the Lake Place of creation: A canal in East London, England Current owner: Adam Crown Trivia: Caliburn is another name for the Holy Sword Excalibur, but the name is mostly associated with the Sword in the Stone. History: Under guidance from the Lady of the Lake (Niamh); Adam Crown stole a priceless Iron Age sword from the Museum of Pagan Antiquities (secretly housed over Mys-Tech Central) and cast it into a canal in East London. Niamh surfaced holding Caliburn, which Adam would hold as one of the Knights of Pendragon, each bonded to a spirit of Camelot, his being King Arthur.; Caliburn granted Adam greater control of his Pendragon abilities, including telekinesis and dimensional transport. Amongst many feats, Caliburn enabled Crown to defeat the Pendragon's arch nemesis, the Red Lord (Bobd Derg). ============================================================ Casket of Ancient Winters Kind: item Page: Casket of Ancient Winters Formal name: Casket of Ancient Winters Other aliases: Cask of Ancient Winters Type: Artifact First appearance: Thor Vol 1 346 Created by: Walt Simonson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Previous owners: Eric Willis; Roger Willis; Jagrfelm; Malekith the Accursed History: The Casket of Ancient Winters was used by Surtur in his attempt to defeat Thor.; Surtur unleashed the devastating power of this artifact on the planet Earth. Needless to say, this event caused mass-hysteria. Thor with the aid of Earth's heroes was able to defeat Surtur and safeguard the Casket so that it could not be misused again.; Sometime later the Casket mysteriously appeared in the possession of the Dark Elf, Jagrfelm. Before he had the chance to use it for his own purposes, he was slain by the leader of the Dark Elves Malekith the Accursed. Malekith used the Casket to wage war on Asgard.; In this battle, he was able to bring the Mystical Kingdom to its knees. The power of the Casket reached the realm of Hel, causing concern of Volla and Hela. The cold was so permeating that the strongest of the trolls Ulik was overtaken by this calamity. It even incapacitated the Frost Giants themselves.; There seems to be no cure for its effects, until the Lady Sif recalled the secret Gem of Infinite Suns. This was concealed among Odin's personal treasures. Thor retrieved the Gem and used its mighty powers to right the wrongs caused by Malekith. Once everything was returned to its natural state, Thor sent both the Casket and the Gem into an unknown dimension. Only time will tell if we will ever see either the Casket of Ancient Winter or the Gem of Infinite Suns again. ============================================================ Carbonadium Kind: item Page: Carbonadium Type: Material First appearance: X-Men Vol 2 4 Created by: John Byrne; Jim Lee Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Arkady Rossovich; Marc Spector; Peter Parker; Silas Burr; Wade Wilson Previous owners: Otto Octavius/"Peter Parker" History: Carbonadium was a resilient, radioactive metal that was vastly stronger than steel, but more malleable and cheaper than adamantium. Due to its malleability, carbonadium was less durable than True Adamantium, but still nearly indestructible. The metal was developed in the USSR.; Omega Red had carbonadium coils through which he could transmit his ability to drain life energies. Carbonadium was highly radioactive and objects composed of it had proven to slow accelerated healing factors such as Wolverine's. The only device that could stop this radiation was the Carbonadium Synthesizer, which had been hidden on the deceased body of a double-agent who died when Team X stole it and escaped from Omega Red during their last mission.; More recently, the Carbonadium Synthesizer was retrieved by Dracula who tasked Omega Red to infiltrate Krakoa and lure Wolverine to one of Dracula's hideouts in Paris in order to allow Dracula's soldiers to steal Wolverine's blood. Once done, Wolverine's blood was then transferred to Dracula, allowing him to now survive when exposed to daylight. His mission completed, Omega Red was given the Carbonadium Synthesizer, although Dracula warned him that there was a detonator hidden inside of it as he still had use of him.; ==Uses==; It is most notably found in Omega Red's coils.; Doctor Octopus used carbonadium to create his tentacles.; After using an Octobot to sting Spider-Man in the nape of his neck and rewrite the hero's brain patterns with his own, Doctor Octopus included carbonadium plating in the back of his costume's head to prevent anybody from doing the same to him.; It is also found in Moon Knight's suit as of the Heroic Age.; Avengers Mansion's front gates have self-reassembling carbonadium bars which act as a security feature to detain those without entry clearance.; Deadpool's katanas are made of carbonadium which can stop a healing factor, this is likely only the case in Earth-12101, as it is rarely commented upon elsewhere as being the rule.; Fashioned into bullets to be used against Wolverine, Daken and anyone else with a healing factor.; A pacemaker was made of carbonadium by Tinkerer for the psychopathic mutant Cyber.; Tasers and binding harnesses made of carbonadium were used against She-Hulk.; Wolf Spider spetsnaz adorning Carbonadium Armor. ============================================================ Bridge Kind: item Page: Bridge Formal name: The Bridge Other aliases: Mirror Type: Technology First appearance: Dark Reign: Fantastic Four Vol 1 1 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Sean Chen Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Reed Richards, Iluminati, The Maker, other members of the Council of Reeds Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Reed Richards Model: Full and Portable Notes: Reed Richards found that only about 36 other universes had managed to achieve peace after Civil War.; The Bridge works by searching within certain parameters, such as looking for incursions or other events. It can theoretically view past and future incursions this way, such as when it observed the Black Swan's usual methods of betrayal.; Multiple versions of Reed Richards have conceived of the Bridge, being one of the factors that led to the formation of the Council of Reeds. The most recent confirmed version was conceived by the one called The Maker. History: After the events of the Civil War, and the Skrull Invasion, ultimately leading to Norman Osborn being made head of S.H.I.E.L.D., Reed began searching for answers as to what could have prevented these events. The Bridge was created by Reed Richards to observe parallel worlds, where would be able to see how other realities had achieved peace. The Bridge could also be used to travel to other realities.; The Interdimensional Council of Reeds, each with their own Bridge, contacted Reed-616 to join them. However, thanks to the influence of his father Nathaniel Richards, Reed rejected them in the end.; The Mad Celestials destroyed the Council of Reeds and the last Council members used the Bridge to escape to Earth-616. Eventually, the Mad Celestials invaded Earth-616 via the Bridge in an attempt to conquer the universe. However, they were defeated by a future Franklin Richards and Galactus.; When the incursions threatened the Multiverse, the Black Swan informed the Illuminati that their enemies had "mirrors" to view other realities. Realizing that this was the same as the Bridge, Reed Richards rebuilt the Bridge to observe incursions in other realities and also the Black Priests, the Mapmakers, and the Black Swans. Almost a year later, Reed would create a portable version of the Bridge due to the Illuminati's need to be constantly on the move to avoid pursuit. Meanwhile, on Earth-1610, the Maker (Earth-1610's Reed Richards) used his own Bridge to also monitor the incursions.; ==Alternate Versions==; ===Earth-828===; On Earth-828, Reed Richards developed the Bridge as a teleportation device. ============================================================ Cask of Sovereignity Kind: item Page: Cask of Sovereignity Formal name: Cask of Sovereignity Type: Artifact First appearance: Thor Vol 1 264 Created by: Len Wein; Walt Simonson Origin: Magical; Asgardian History: Loki ruled Asgard in Odin's stead, by his own royal decree contained in the Cask of Sovereignty, and even Thor had to obey him.

Lead designer: Merlyn Place of creation: Darkmoor Place of destruction: Otherworld Previous owners: Captain Britain History: When Brian Braddock was first transformed into Captain Britain, the Quarterstaff magically appeared strapped to his back. It appeared to be simply a wooden rod decorated with red, white and blue stripes, but Brian quickly discovered that pressing one of the four buttons on the shaft would cause it to extend itself into a javelin or even a vaulting pole, while pressing a second caused it to project a powerful force field around its wielder. The third button, which Braddock rarely used, caused anything the staff was pointed at to disintegrate, but he apparently never pressed the fourth button to find out what it did, or even noticed that it was there.; When Braddock began to accept the non-scientific nature of his powers, his patron, Merlyn transformed the Staff into the mystical Star Sceptre. ============================================================ Bukkehorn (Earth-10091) Kind: item Page: Bukkehorn Formal name: Bukkehorn Type: Horn First appearance: Thor the Mighty Avenger Vol 1 4 Created by: Roger Langridge; Chris Samnee Reality: Earth-10091 Origin: Asgardian Place of creation: Asgard ============================================================ Calypso Serum Kind: item Page: Calypso Serum Formal name: Yansan-An Serum Other aliases: Kraven Serum Type: Drug First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 15 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko; } Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Yansan-An Serum is a drug created in Wakanda used in the sacred Yansan-An ritual. It is derived from Heart-Shaped Herb. Lead designer: Aja Orisha Additional designers: Kraven the Hunter Place of creation: Wakanda, Africa Current owner: Kraven the Hunter History: ===Origin===; ====Claims====; The origin of the serum was shrouded in mystery for years. Kraven claimed to have acquired the serum from an African witch doctor, though the details surrounding this encounter remain obscure. It was later claimed that the Calypso Ezili was the witch doctor who created it, using Haitian Vodou, played a pivotal role in the of the serum.; ====Yansan-An Ritual====; The truth was later revealed that in In 1921, Sergei crossed paths with Aja Orisha, who had been exiled from Wakanda. United by their shared experiences as exiles from their homeland and the loss of her husband, they formed a deep bond. Together, they raised her child, Takhar. Aja took Kraven with her back to Africa, where she imparted upon him the teachings of Wakanda and instilled in him a passion for the hunt, thus earning him the moniker "Kraven the Hunter". Despite her affection for him, Aja recognized the darkness within Kraven. Upon their return to New York, she subjected him to the rigorous "Yansan-An Ritual," involving sacred herbs and potions. Tragically, Sergei succumbed to the ritual's effects. Although he was meant to remain in a state of darkness for two weeks, he unexpectedly revived after just four days. The ritual, instead of quelling the darkness, exacerbated it, leading Kraven to blame Aja for his torment. Consumed by his newfound darkness, he departed for Africa alongside his adopted son Takhar, renaming Gregor Kravinoff.; ===Properties===; This elixir bestowed upon its recipient a plethora of extraordinary abilities similar to that of various jungle beasts. This included superhuman strength enabling the lifting of weights up to two tons, unmatched speed surpassing even the most elite athletes, and stamina allowing prolonged exertion without succumbing to fatigue. Additionally, enhanced durability rendered the user resilient to substantial physical trauma, while heightened agility, reflexes, and longevity further augmented their capabilities. However, such power came with a perilous caveat, as the serum had a tendency to incite violent outbursts, clouding rational judgment.; ===Descendants===; Throughout his lifetime, Kraven fathered numerous children, and the effects of the serum were inherited by some. Among them, his son Grim Hunter (Vladimir Kravinoff) and daughter Ana Tatiana Kravinoff had no powers. It was later revealed the two had latent, inactivated Inhuman genes from their mothers side of the family.; Vladimir hoped to make the serum permanent and over the year experimented on various test subject killing them all. When the Hobgoblin came to Russia with his father's journal he used the information to perfect the formula. He decided to test it on the American but reacted to the dormant Goblin Formula in his blood granting him even greater strength, escaping on his Goblin Glider. Now knowing the serum works Vladimir had his scientists inject him with the pure serum gaining the power promised to him by his father.; Ana Tatiana Kravinoff later took the serum herself and taking her father title Kraven the Hunter.; Ned Tannengarden, another of Kraven's sons, failed to manifest any powers.; Interestingly, Alyosha Kravinoff , Kraven's son, experienced an activation of his X-Gene through the serum, emerging as a mutant without the need for further serum consumption.; Moreover, the creation known as Xraven was the result of Mr. Sinister's manipulation, utilizing Kraven's DNA alongside genetic material from multiple mutants.; The High Evolutionary created 87 clones of Kraven the Hunter. The Last Son of Kraven was the only successful one. They were born with the mystical potion already coursing through their veins with undetermined effects on their development.; == Alternate Realities ==; === Spider-Man (1994 animated series) (Earth-92131) ===; Sergei Kravinoff was a skilled hunter in Africa, descended from Russian nobility. When hunting became prohibited, Sergei became a guide. He met Mariah Crawford when she travelled to Africa to investigate after Dr. James Reeves went missing while researching in the jungle. Mariah and her team hired Sergei to guide them. Sergei acted as her bodyguard against the wild animals of the jungle, and he and Mariah fell in love.; Months later, they found Reeves, who had developed a formula to protect himself from infection in the jungle. However, a side effect meant that he had turned into a feral creature. Before disappearing forever, Reeves gave Mariah the last of the drug, warning her not to use it on herself or another person under any circumstances.; Sergei was seriously injured trying to protect Mariah from a pack of hyenas. It seemed that there was no hope for Sergei to survive, but in a desperate attempt to save his life Mariah gave him the wonder drug. He made a full recovery, but gained feral hunting instincts as Mariah had feared, and became Kraven the Hunter.; ===Sony's Kraven the Hunter (Earth-688B) ===; During a trip to Africa, Sergei was attacked by a Lion whose blood dripped into his wound before Calypso finds and aids him with a vial given by her grandmother that saved him from death but also mutates his body with spiritual communion with animals.; ==Users==; Kraven the Hunter (Sergei Kravinoff); Calypso Ezili; Chameleon (Dmitri Smerdyakov) (half-brother); Hobgoblin (Jason Macendale Jr.); Grim Hunter (Vladimir Kravinoff) (son); Alyosha Kravinoff (son); Ned Tannengarden (son); Sasha Kravinoff (wife); Ana Tatiana Kravinoff (daughter); Gregor Kravinoff (Takhar Orisha) (adopted son); Last Son of Kraven (clone son); Xraven (clone of Sergei Kravinoff); Spider-Man (1994 animated series); Kraven the Hunter (Sergei Kravinoff); Calypso (Dr. Mariah Crawford); Dr. James Reeves ============================================================ Captivator (Earth-6676) Kind: item Page: Captivator Formal name: Captivator Type: Technology First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 76 Created by: Stan Lee; Gil Kane; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-6676 Current owner: King Arrkam History: The Captivator was a strange machine used by King Arrkam's forces to capture the Hulk with the pressure of concentrated gravity. ============================================================ Captain America's Exoskeleton Kind: item Page: Captain America's Exoskeleton Formal name: Captain America's Exoskeleton Other aliases: Captain America Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Captain America Vol 1 438 Created by: Mark Gruenwald; Dave Hoover Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Steve Rogers History: When Captain America was completely paralyzed by his Super-Soldier Serum-induced illness, Tony Stark supplied him with this exoskeleton that allowed Captain America to continue his crime-fighting career. Due to his paralysis Rogers had to have sensors implanted in his body to operate the suit. Stark designed this armor to suit Cap's propensities toward minimizing harm to opponents. Consequently, the primary weapons were Mylar sheaths and disruption beams that caused the targets to suffer vertigo. In addition to these abilities the armor had a set of the magnetic gloves and four miniature anti-missile missiles. The mini-missiles were hidden in retractable launchers in the armor's forearms. This armor looked like a metallic version of Cap's usual costume.; With the World War Hate, Steve, lacking his Super-Soldier Serum and no longer known as Captain America, opted to wear this armor once more in order to defend himself and the reformed, white-headed Red Skull from the Avengers that were hit with the Inversion Spell.; Clear; ==Alternate Realities==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-12041, Iron Man had designed an armor and shield specifically for Captain America, believing it was best suited for him to adapt with the times of the high-tech modern era, but Cap decided against it as the armor would just slow his way of fighting and that machines could never replace human intuition, though Tony dismissed him as simply being afraid of new tech.; Marvel's Avengers Assemble Season 1 6 ============================================================ Caroni's Book of The Found Kind: item Page: Caroni's Book of The Found Formal name: Caroni's Book of The Found Type: Magical Book First appearance: New Avengers Vol 2 1 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Brother Voodoo Model: Unique History: This book's Page 9087 contained the Caroni's Teleportation Spell for Endangered Material Possessions (Translated from the Original Italian) used by Brother Voodoo. ============================================================ Calvin Klein A.I.

Despite serving in the army, he also continued his crimes, he started to prey on young children, especially young girls, that he kidnapped and killed until the death of those children were finally noticed by the other Russian soldiers.; After discovering the atrocious crimes he committed, he was executed by the Red Army but his latent mutant powers saved him from death which prompted his superiors and the KGB to use him for their super soldier program in order to create a soldier similar to Captain America.; The end result of the experiments was Omega Red, the Soviet government implanted several cybernetic enhancements that made him much more powerful, they also implanted one retractable carbonadium tentacle within each of his arms. Carbonadium was the Soviets' attempt to recreate the artificial alloy known as adamantium. It was a more malleable form of adamantium. He used them as weapons and as grappling appendages. He was able to a wrap a victim in his coils to literally drain them of their life energy.; This vampiric tendency was once essential to Omega Red's survival; the carbonadium implants, while great offensive weapons, slowly poisoned him and he was required to regularly drain the life energy of a person, or perhaps take small amounts from larger numbers of individuals, in order to temporarily sustain his immune system. In order to stabilize his condition, Omega Red required the Carbonadium Synthesizer, a device that could liquefy carbonadium so that it could be molded into new forms and stopped the carbonadium radiations.; ===Team X===; Before the experiment was fully complete, the Carbonadium Synthesizer was stolen by Wolverine, Maverick, and Sabretooth during their final mission together as "Team X" when the team was sent to sabotage the Russian Super Soldier program and save a double agent named Janice Hollenbeck. After recovering the Synthesizer, Janice was killed by Sabretooth during their escape but by the end of this mission, it seemed the Carbonadium Synthesizer was lost.; ===The Truth===; In the years that followed, the Soviet government decided that Omega Red was too unpredictable and treacherous to be relied upon, and placed him in cryogenic suspended animation until a method could be found to control him. After the fall of Communism in Russia, he was released by the clan of ninja known as the Hand.; Omega Red served Matsu'o Tsurayaba, who revived him from suspended animation. Omega Red believed that Wolverine knew the whereabouts of the Carbonadium synthesizer which could saved his life, and sought him out in an effort to find this device. After defeating Wolverine, he brought him to Tsurayaba and his new new associate, Abraham Cornelius who searched through Logan's memories in order to find the location of the Carbonadium Synthesizer.; They discovered that the Carbonadium Synthesizer was never lost, Wolverine secretly hid it in the coffin of Janice Hollenbeck to make sure no one could find it. With this new information Matsuo, Cornelius and Omega Red tried to retrieve the device but Wolverine was able to escape and recovered it before them. Wolverine then gave the Carbonadium Synthesizer to Maverick.; ===Post M-Day===; After M-Day, several mutants lost their powers and among them both Maverick and Wolverine's protegee, Jubilee who were now located in a center for depowered mutants in New York City. Omega Red quickly found them and tortured Maverick in order to know the location of the Carbonadium Synthesizer, he discovered that Maverick already gave it to Black Widow and that it was now hidden in a safe deposit in Brussels. Thanks to Black Widow's help, Wolverine was able to lure Omega Red with a replica of the Synthesizer which allowed the S.H.I.E.L.D. to capture him.; Later on, Wolverine decided to retrieve the Carbonadium Synthesizer in Brussels which put him in conflict with both Daken and the newly resurrected Cyber who also wanted it. After Daken ran away, Cyber discovered that he had a heart condition which made him weak and which allowed Wolverine to easily defeat him and retrieve the Carbonadium Synthesizer.; After learning some secrets from Cyber, Wolverine brought him to the Tinkerer who was the only who could save him, the Tinkerer saved Cyber by implanting a carbonadium peacemaker on him. Cyber then learned that the radiations produced by the carbonadium would slowly killed him without the Carbonadium Synthesizer but Logan stole it. Shortly after while walking on a bridge Logan got rid of of the Carbonadium Synthesizer by throwing it in some water below, savoring his revenge against Cyber.; ===Omega Red's Last Stand===; Some time later, the mysterious being that supposedly controlled Wolverine's life for years, Romulus, was able to recover the Carbonadium Synthesizer, and used it as bait to force a fight between Wolverine and Omega Red in a Russian Prison.; Once again Wolverine was able to defeat Omega Red and recover the device but due to his wounds he was later captured by Wild Child. Omega Red was able to track them and after finding them, he killed Wild Child and finally recovered the Carbonadium Synthesizer while Wolverine escaped.; Now whole and more powerful than ever, Omega Red intended to kill Wolverine for keeping the Carbonadium Synthesizer away from him for years but Wolverine killed him by stabbing him through the heart with his Muramasa Blade.; ===The Vampire Nation===; Omega Red was later resurrected, and strangely enough, it seemed that after his resurrection Omega Red once again needed the Carbonadium Synthesizer to stabilize his condition, to that end he went to Paris and agreed to work with Dracula and the Vampire Nation in exchange for the Carbonadium Synthesizer. Omega Red's first mission was to enter Krakoa and lure Wolverine to one of Dracula's hideouts in Paris in order to allow Dracula's soldiers to steal Logan's blood. Once done, Logan's blood was then transferred to Dracula, allowing him to now survive when exposed to daylight.; His mission completed, Omega Red returned to Paris and was given the Carbonadium Synthesizer by Dracula himself, although Dracula warned him that there was a detonator hidden inside of it as he still had use of him. Dracula then ordered Omega Red to join Krakoa but to obey him. ============================================================ Captain Britain's Uniform Kind: item Page: Captain Britain's Uniform Formal name: Captain Britain's Uniform Other aliases: Captain Britain Suit Type: Magical Armor First appearance: Captain Britain Vol 1 1 Created by: Chris Claremont; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Otherworld Lead designer: Merlyn Additional designers: Roma Place of creation: Otherworld Current owner: Captain Britain (Betsy Braddock Previous owners: Captain Britain (Brian Braddock) Alternate owners: Henri Dugarry Notes: Like many costumes and equipment used by the heroes and villains of the multiverse, any appearance of Captain Britain will likely feature an appearance of the Uniform so not all appearances are listed.; The uniform was used briefly by Slaymaster, however due to to being linked to Brian's brain It only improved Slaymaster's strength (although weaker than when used by Brian) but not his durability, Brian could still control the suit with his mind. History: ===Origin===; Captain Britain's uniform was originally linked to the Amulet of Right, worn around his neck. Touching the amulet would summon his uniform and bestow the power of Captain Britain upon him. The quarterstaff that originally came with the uniform was upgraded by Merlyn into a Star Sceptre, containing mystical circuitry that enabled him to fly.; After a time, Merlyn altered the uniform again, incorporating the mystical circuitry of the Sceptre into the costume, costing the Captain his weapon but also allowing him to fly hands free. Not long after that, Captain Britain was killed by the Fury. When Merlyn resurrected him, he gave Braddock the ability to naturally soak up the inter-dimensional energies that powered his costume, giving him the power of Captain Britain even out of uniform. The uniform still had an independent force field for further protection, and enhanced Brian's ability to harness the energies properly.; Years later, Captain Britain learned his uniform had an additional capability he wasn't aware of. His natural ability to process inter-dimensional energies only functioned in Great Britain, where the energies originated. Leaving the British Isles for an extended period of time caused Braddock to lose his powers. The uniform acted as an antenna for these mystical energies, allowing Captain Britain to receive them anywhere in the world and retain his powers so long as he was wearing the costume.; After being lost in the wild timestream for months, Brian Braddock returned in a new uniform calling himself Britanic. Britanic demonstrated the ability to operate for extended periods of time in America and France with no noticeable loss to his powers. Whether this meant his altered garments still functioned like his old uniform, or if he no longer needed an "antenna" is unknown.; Britanic later returned to using his Captain Britain uniform, having improved the mystical circuitry to command a greater control over his force field.; Recently, Captain Britain was killed and resurrected again as an extension of the spirit of the British people. His powers are fully natural, but wax and wane with his confidence and determination. Modifying his old costume again, Braddock has used his own energies to power it with new features such as mystical sensors or a stealth feature.; Ever since Brian's sister, Betsy Braddock, became Captain Britain, she has worn her own version of the uniform. ============================================================ Captain America's Uniform Kind: item Page: Captain America's Uniform Formal name: Captain America Uniform Other aliases: Captain America Costume; Captain America Suit Type: Suit First appearance: Captain America Comics Vol 1 1 Created by: Joe Simon; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Current owner: Aaron Fischer; Sam Wilson; Steve Rogers; Ultimate Nullifier Previous owners: James Buchanan Barnes; John Walker; William Burnside; Isaiah Bradley; Jeff Mace; William Nasland Material: Kevlar, Nomex, titanium Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The uniform is both water and fire retardant, it is made of Kevlar, Nomex, and light weight titanium. The costume also offers a medium level of resistance to electric shocks and force impacts, such as falls from thirty meters in height. The suit cannot be pierced by normal conventional sharp-edged materials like sharpened wood, glass, iron, copper, or aluminum. The suit also gives some resistance to high temperatures. It includes a voice-operated, wireless communicator for the left ear, which has its frequencies blocked, making it highly difficult to trace. The uniform has an utility belt containing mission-specific equipment, such as a first aid kit containing tweezers, antiseptic gel coated band aids, bone and muscle pain reliever spray cans, and antidotes for some toxins, as well as military cable, lock picks, grenades, and several other materials.; ==Variations==; The Captain America Uniform has been worn by many people who wore it to honor the original Captain America. These included:; ===William Nasland: Spirit of '76===; William Nasland was the next person to take up the title of Captain America. After Rogers and Barnes went M.I.A., President Truman asked him to take over the mantle, to fight in the rest of the war. Nasland fought with the All-Winners Squad for two years, before being killed by one of Adam II's minions.; ===Jeffery Mace: Patriot===; Jeffrey Mace took over the mantle after Nasland's death. Mace was a friend of the original Captain America and wore the costume after not being able to save Nasland's life. Mace had no powers, but wanted to carry on the legacy. After the war, Mace was left doing public service announcements while wearing the uniform in New York.; ===Isaiah Bradley: Black Captain America===; The U.S. Army ended up testing the Super-Soldier Serum on three-hundred black soldiers, with Operation: Rebirth. One of those men was Isaiah Bradley. It was a different time and Bradley experienced violence and racism while in the military. The seven that survived were shipped off to war in 1942. During his time in World War II, Bradley was arrested and given a life sentence for stealing a spare Captain America Uniform.; ===William Burnside: Grand Director===; William Burnside loved Captain America so much he got a PhD in American History and wrote his thesis about him. While in Germany, Burnside found the Super-Soldier Serum and the U.S. Government gave him the costume to wear during the Korean War. Now, with all the powers Cap once had, Burnside legally changed his name and had plastic surgery to look as much like Steve Rogers as possible. After the Korean War, the F.B.I. ended Burnside's tenure as Cap, which was the start of Burnside's downfall. He later returned to working with the government again and got into a skirmish with Jack Monroe. Doctor Faustus made him try and kill Monroe, and believing he had, Burnside killed himself. It was later revealed that he survived his suicide attempt, and he was later defeated once and for all by the original Bucky.; Burnside's uniform is distinct from Rogers', as the red and white stripes on the lower torso do not wrap around the back. It is also of inferior construction, and more easily damaged than Rogers' uniform. Burnside briefly wore a more accurate replica of Rogers' uniform upon his return from his apparent death, until he returned to his own distinct variant.; ===John Walker: Super-Patriot===; When Rogers resigned from the position of Captain America when the Commission on Superhuman Activities attempted to force him to follow their orders, John Walker was selected to replace him. Unknown to Rogers or Walker, Commissioner Douglas Rockwell was an agent for the Red Skull, who sought to use Walker's violent attitude to tarnish the reputation of Captain America. After Walker's identity was revealed to the public, resulting in the death of his parents,, he became more unstable, forcing the rest of the Commission to call for his suspension and eventual removal. Walker and Rogers eventually confronted the Skull, who had killed Rockwell after he was no longer of use. In the aftermath, Walker insisted on Rogers resuming the role of Captain America, and with the help of another commissioner, General Haywerth, Walker became U.S. Agent.; Due to Walker's physique being larger than Rogers', the Commission created a duplicate uniform for Walker for his time as Captain America. As U.S. Agent, Walker wore a duplicate of the black costume Rogers wore as The Captain.; ===Bucky Barnes: Winter Soldier===; After Rogers' death, Steve left instructions for Tony Stark to have Bucky carry on the mantle. Bucky remained Captain America for some time, even after Rogers returned from the grave; however, Bucky went on trial in America and Russia for the crimes he committed as Winter Soldier, and during this time, Sin, "killed" him. Sometime afterward, Bucky returned as the Winter Soldier.; Bucky's costume significantly differs from the standard design, using modern materials and fabrication. The shoulders and upper chest remain blue, and the red and white stripes are present on the front, but the remainder of the uniform is primarily black.; ===Sam Wilson: All-New Captain America===; Rogers gave up as Captain America, as the Serum was not in his body anymore, he gave his legacy to Sam Wilson, becoming the "All-New Captain America". He was given the Shield and modified the Falcon's Wings to reflect his new title as Captain America. In addition to incorporating his wings and flight pack, Wilson's uniform also features a headpiece based on his Falcon costume rather than the traditional winged cowl.; ===Aaron Fischer: Captain America of the Railways===; Aaron Fischer was a member of the Captains Network, a loose association of vigilantes from across America inspired by the legacy of Captain America. Seeing his potential, Captain Marvel recruited him into the Avengers Academy. He was later given a unique costume designed by The Wasp.; Clear Notes: Like many costumes and equipment used by the heroes and villains of the multiverse, any appearance of Captain America will likely feature an appearance of the uniform so not all appearances are listed. History: To help him become a symbolic counterpart to the Red Skull, Steve Rogers was given the red, white, and blue costume of "Captain America". Though Captain America's Uniform offered little in the way of camouflage, but it was used as a symbol to inspire the U.S. and Allied forces. ============================================================ Build Up Armor (Earth-14042) Kind: item Page: Build Up Armor Formal name: Build Up Armor Other aliases: Build Up Plate Type: Armor First appearance: Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers Season 1 28 Created by: King Ryū Reality: Earth-14042 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Avengers Notes: Although it is not mentioned in the series, it is strongly suggested that Iron Man used the Kree Mact as a power source for the armor. History: The Build Up Armor, is a weapon invented by Tony Stark in order to give himself and his fellow Avengers a powerup. This was necessary due to the fact that their enemies, the Masters of Evil, had been given a powerup as well by Red Skull, thus making them harder to defeat.; The armor was first shown under construction in episode 27. When the Avengers had to split up to take out Red Skull's five bases of operation form which he intended to destroy the Earth with the Gaia Anchors, each of the Avengers' partners was given a special summoning device called the Build Up Plate, that could be placed on the DISK of an Avenger in order to summon the Build Up Armor for him/her. The armor was deployed for the first time by Iron Man in episode 28 to fight M.O.D.O.K.; == Armors ==; For each Avengers, the Build Up Armor is slightly different in design and functioning in order to enhance that particular Avengers' attacks. All versions do include a torso armor and a targeting system, the latter of which is shared between the Avenger and his/her partner.; === Iron Man ===; For Iron Man, the armor equips him with an amplifier for the repulsor on his left hand, greatly enhancing the power of the energy rays fired from this hand.; Clear; === Wasp ===; For Wasp, the armor gives her six mechanical stingers which allow her to fire her Wasp Sting attack at multiple targets at once, and with much more power than usual.; Clear; === Captain America ===; For Captain America, the armor gives his shield an additional metal ring which increases the Shield's destructive power.

The device was presumably destroyed along with Apocalypse. ============================================================ Captain Marvel's Suit Kind: item Page: Captain Marvel's Suit Formal name: Captain Marvel's Suit Type: Suit First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 12 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Kree Lead designer: Supreme Intelligence Additional designers: Eon Current owner: Carol Danvers Previous owners: Mar-Vell; Monica Rambeau; Helen Cobb; Phyla-Vell; Genis-Vell; Khn'nr; Tsu-Zana; Karla Sofen; "Captain Marvel" Number Ninety-Six Alternate owners: Dorrek VIII (Earth-11051); Kamala Khan (Earth-16101); Janet Van Dyne (Earth-26111); Ayesha (Earth-71166); Noh-Varr (Earth-TRN1275) Notes: Carol's Captain Marvel costume was designed by Jamie McKelvie. History: ===Mar-Vell's Suit===; Mar-Vell wore an instance of the Kree Militia Uniform as his suit. As captain, his uniform was white and green. Opposing the treachery of his superiors Zarek and Yon-Rogg against the Kree Empire, Mar-Vell was honored by the Kree Supreme Intelligence to become its greatest warrior. Although still ranked as a captain, Mar-Vell was gifted the cosmically powered Nega-Bands and had his combat uniform completely retransformed. As a new Captain Marvel, the hero wore a red and black outfit displaying a golden Hala Star on its chest. Ascending as the protector of the universe by the machinations of Eon, the warrior Captain Marvel had his costume slightly changed. When briefly resurrected by Minister Marvel, Mar-Vell wore a version of his specially unique costume, although with the colors of his original Kree army suit.; Clear; ===Monica Rambeau's Suit===; After gaining her powers from an energy-draining device, Monica Rambeau fashioned a makeshift suit for herself from a warehouse used to store Mardi gras costumes. Professor Andre LeClare later provided her an identical suit, but made with unstable molecules so it would adapt to her energy form.; Clear; ===Genis-Vell's Suit===; Mar-Vell's son, Genis-Vell, originally wore stylized civilian clothing which consisted of a red-and-blue jacket, simple boots, red trousers and a head gear. When he assumed his father's mantle of Captain Marvel, he somewhat modified his outfit by replacing his sleeveless shirt and trousers with a bodysuit that matched his boots and attached to his cowl, while keeping the jacket with rolled up sleeves and tucked it into his belt. After receiving the Nega-Bands and merging with Rick Jones just like his father before him, Genis received a new suit almost identical to Mar-Vell's, which was first seen worn by his alternate future variant. However, while he was going insane from his Cosmic Awareness, he joined the Imperial Kree Army and wore a stylized version of the Kree Militia Uniforms. With the help of Phyla, Genis was cured of his madness, and returned to his Captain Marvel suit, with the difference being that the red part was recolored to white.; Clear; ===Phyla-Vell's Suit===; Phyla-Vell, Mar-Vell's daughter and Genis' sister, took up the mantle of Captain Marvel after he was deemed unfit to have it due to his insanity. As Captain Marvel, she wore her own version of the suit, which mainly differed in that the Hala Star symbol was colored white. She would replace her suit upon donning the Quantum Bands and becoming Quasar, and then replaced that suit with a black version when she became the Avatar of Death.; Clear; ===Carol Danvers' Suit===; Having decided to take over the Captain Marvel codename, Carol Danvers abandoned her Ms. Marvel's Suit and adopted a brand-new visual identity. Her military-like costume was a full-bodied suit made out of Stark-designed impermeable fabric which counted with a red sash similar to the one she previously wore. The costume also featured a collapsible helmet that echos those wore by Kree soldiers and makes outer space flight possible. When used, Danvers' hair came out of it as a mohawk. The color scheme and iconography was similar to that of Mar-Vell's, being red and navy blue. A golden Hala Star is displayed on the chest area of the costume, although it has no direct ties to the Kree Empire.; As part of S.H.I.E.L.D., Carol temporarily changed her suit's colors to black, white and grey in order to go on undercover missions. While under the control of Vox Supreme, Carol's suit was briefly corrupted by Vox's amorphous matter so he would always know of her current location. During her brief time as part of the Kree/Skrull Alliance's Accuser Corps, Carol's suit was changed to green for the time being. After Carol participated in the Hellfire Gala on Krakoa, she incorporated her gala dress into her main suit, which now consisted of a sleeveless bodysuit and a jacket. When she joined the Imperial Guardians, she integrated one of Amadeus Cho's sheaths of unstable molecules into her suit in order to become unidentifiable during missions, changing the colors to black and silver, while foregoing the jacket.; Clear ============================================================ Carrion Virus Kind: item Page: Carrion Virus Formal name: Carrion Virus Other aliases: Carrion Plague; Carrion-DNA Virus; Carrion's Death Virus; The Jackal's Genetic Plague; Replicator Virus; Zombie Plague Type: Virus First appearance: Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 149 Created by: Gerry Conway; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Miles Warren Additional designers: Herbert Wyndham, Miles Warren (Jackal clone #2) Place of creation: Earth Current owner: William Allen Previous owners: Abby-L; Miles Warren (Carrion clone); Malcolm McBride; Frances Barrison; Miles Warren (Jackal clone #2) Properties: In most of its incarnations (sans the third one), the Carrion Virus manifests as a type of necrosis that affects the entire body of a given victim, giving them pallid yellow skin and odor of decay. Despite this "undead" appearance, the host isn't really dead. It is strangely non-communicable in the first four incarnations, becoming dormant once it has a host. Separated from a host body, however, it's extremely contagious.; ===First Strain===; The first strain of the Carrion Virus granted some if not all of the following powers to its hosts:; Decaying Touch; Detection Immunity; Intangibility; Life Repulsion; Inflammation; Levitation; Repelling Energy Generation; Low-Level Telepathy; Regeneration; Short-Range Teleportation; Superhuman Strength; Telekinesis; ===Second Strain===; The second strain of the Carrion Virus was a genetic virus that altered the genetic structure of its victims, turning them into undead-looking duplicates of Miles Warren. It provived its victims with the real Miles Warren's memories, including some false ones fabricated by the High Evolutionary. This made it possible for Warren's personality to manifest inside the psyche of the victims and even take over their bodies (strong-willed individuals can overcome the Warren personality's control, as evidenced with William Allen). All of the powers granted by it to Malcolm McBride were the same the original Carrion had.; ===Third Strain===; The third strain of the Carrion Virus was a lethal airborne virus capable of instantly killing every human being that isn't a clone. It had no incubation period and could shut down the respiratory system of its victims in just under thirty seconds.; ===Fourth Strain===; The fourth strain of the Carrion Virus has the same properties of the second one, but seems to have granted William Allen with a power none of his predecessors possessed: the power to become an airborne virus capable of possessing people by infecting them.; ===Fifth Strain===; The New U strain of the Carrion Virus resulted from a flaw in the cloning process used by New U Technologies, turning its victims into zombie-like mindless brutes that eventually died once the cellular break-down reached the point where it prevented their body from properly functioning. While the disease originated in people with cloned bodies or body parts, it was contagious by contact and could affect anyone.; There was no known cure for the cellular degeneration once it reached the stage of Carrion Virus, though it could be prevented from developing that far. To that end, the Jackal synthesized a pill that kept the cellular degradation at bay, which needed to be ingested daily. Notes: Carriers of the Carrion Virus are usually called Carrions.; Spider-Man thought the fourth strain of the Carrion Virus was a vaccine the Jackal created to protect himself from the third strain, which was lethal to anyone that wasn't a clone. That was due to him believing that the Jackal who created it was in fact the real Miles Warren at the time.; Originally, the third Carrion was able to control other human beings by infecting them with the Carrion Virus. The mind control was later attributed to his use of telepathy in conjunction with the red dust. History: ===Origin===; What would one day become the Carrion Virus began as a serum Dr. Miles Warren, a former assistant of the High Evolutionary who would later become the insane criminal known as the Jackal, developed from DNA samples he collected from human donors to help the New Men become more human-looking. However, something went wrong and the New Men subjected to the serum became living corpses, eventually dying as it ravaged their bodies.; ===First Strain===; The first strain of the Carrion Virus was a modified version of the serum Dr. Miles Warren created. Warren designed it to destroy mankind so he could replace it with clones under his control. To that end, Warren needed the virus to incubate inside the body of a clone of himself for five years, but the clone ended up being released too soon and was ultimately destroyed by Spider-Man.; Abby-L, the first clone ever created by Warren, was infected with what appears to be this version of the virus under unknown circumstances.; ===Second Strain===; The second strain of the Carrion Virus was created by the High Evolutionary. It was a genetic virus capable of rewriting the DNA of its victims, turning them into genetic duplicates of Miles Warren. The High Evolutionary designed this strain with two intentions in mind: to keep the world from knowing about his experiments, as Warren based much of his work on the High Evolutionary's studies and technology, and to discredit Warren with the New Men who abandoned Wundagore to follow him, as they had started the Cult of the Jackal. To accomplish these goals, the High Evolutionary made it so the Carrion Virus would give its victims false memories that corroborated with the alterations he made to Warren's journal, which claimed Warren had never cloned humans at all, but rather used genetic viruses to rewrite DNA.; The High Evolutionary planted the altered journal and a sample of his strain of the Carrion Virus inside Warren's destroyed lab at ESU. The sample was eventually found by a student named Malcolm McBride, who was transformed into the second Carrion upon being infected by it. Later, the new Carrion confronted Spider-Man and was defeated. The virus was sent into remission twice after Malcolm was infected. In the second time it happened, it was because Shriek used her powers on Carrion to prevent him from killing himself. Shriek ended up being infected herself, but wasn't affected by the virus because her powers rendered it inert.; ===Third Strain===; The third strain of the Carrion Virus was created by a genetically-altered clone of the Jackal by modifying the second one into the lethal virus the original was meant to be. To create this strain, the Jackal clone took the Carrion Virus from Shriek's body, and improved it with a volatile genetic nanocontagion stolen from Genetech.; It was released as a test by Spidercide (a clone of Spider-Man capable of controlling his own body at molecular level) in the small town of Springville, Pennsylvania, killing every one of its citizens save for Rafael Carago, who gained the ability to instinctively recode his DNA in response to environmental conditions. The Jackal clone tried to discover how Rafael Carago had survived the virus in order to improve it further, but he ended up escaping during a turmoil involving many Spider-Clones. Even with the virus incomplete, the Jackal clone tried to fulfill his genetic template's mission of using it to replace mankind with clones, but his plan was ultimately thwarted.; ===Fourth Strain===; The fourth strain of the Carrion Virus was also a variant of the second one, developed to produce a new Carrion that could make Spider-Man pay for the death of Gwen Stacy if the Jackal clone died before he could do so himself. Dr. William Allen purposefully exposed himself to it while studying the Jackal clone's corpse for S.H.I.E.L.D., becoming the third Carrion in the process.; ===Fifth Strain===; The fifth strain of the Carrion Virus was a disease that originated in the later stages of the cellular degradation that afflicted those brought back to life by the Jackal (Ben Reilly) through his New U procedure, eventually evolving into a contagious plague. The decay resulted from the reaction of the clones' cells to a natural vibration frequency.; Several Earths in numerous alternate universes succumbed to the spread of this disease, as observed by the Master Weaver from Loomworld through the Web of Life and Destiny. When Kaine Parker, the Scarlet Spider, came back to life following the sacrifice of his Other form at the hands of the Inheritors, the cellular degradation he suffered for being one of the earliest clones of Spider-Man returned. Fearing that Kaine's condition was symptom of the Carrion Virus, the Master Weaver informed him of the existence of this disease.; Kaine decided to use the fact that he already suffered from cellular degeneration to travel to these universes and investigate the plague in order to find a cure. It was eventually discovered that in each of these worlds, the outbreak originated soon after Parker Industries teamed-up with New U Technologies to make worldwide their technique that involved organ transplants with cloned body parts.; After discovering that he wasn't a carrier of the Carrion Virus as expected, because the plague only affected those cloned by New U, Scarlet Spider and his ally Spider-Woman, the Gwen Stacy of Earth-65, travelled to Kaine's home universe when they were informed by the Master Weaver that a new cycle of the plague was going to begin, marked by the emergence of New U Technologies in this universe.; In Kaine's home reality, dozens of people brought back to life by Ben Reilly became potential carriers of the virus. The only thing that prevented them from decaying and eventually becoming Carrions was the daily ingestion of a special pill designed to halt this condition.; With the aid of other scientists such as the Lizard and Doctor Octopus, work began on preventing the clones from decaying. Later on, Anna Maria Marconi, having been captured by the Jackal and forced to work for him, found out the origin of the decay and a way to stop it.; The Carrion Virus outbreak began after the Jackal unwittingly insulted Anna Maria, prompting Doctor Octopus to set out to destroy his enterprise by broadcasting an amplified version of the frequency that caused the decay throughout the Jackal's base, causing all of New U's clones to break down. On the face of defeat, the Jackal decided to broadcast the frequency on a global level, with the intention of causing the collapse of society and bring humanity back as clones. Spider-Man thwarted the Jackal's plan by making the counter-frequency found by Marconi circulate the Earth through the use of the global network of Parker Industries' Webware, saving the lives of all the clones and infected humans who hadn't yet succumbed to the decay. ============================================================ Brundleboost Wonder-Suit Kind: item Page: Brundleboost Wonder-Suit Formal name: Brundleboost Wonder-Suit Type: Suit First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 8 8 Created by: Dan Slott; Michael Allred Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tindly Hardlesnop Place of creation: Brundlebus 3 Current owner: Tindly Hardlesnop Properties: The Brundleboost Wonder-Suit allows its user to survive in the vacuum of space with no problem.

Trivia: The Brighthold, as a book of magic written by the Demiurge and source of all white magic, is antithetical to the Darkhold, the book of black magic written by Chthon. History: ===Origins===; The Brighthold was written by "the twin fingers of the Demiurge", and was said to be the key to all white magic.; The Brighthold included the Violet Raptor from the Shi'ar.; ===17th century===; The Countess of Arundel, back in Europe, died protecting the Brighthold. Her granddaughter Abigail Housman acquired the book, and learned magic from it.; In Christ's Crown, New York, in 1658, Abigail Housman was visited by Viscount de Ablo (Esteban Corazón de Ablo), agent of Mephisto, who wished to take the Brighthold. Facing Housman's refusal, de Ablo used the Gorath Stone to plague Christ's Town, urging Housman to use the Brighthold and summon a spirit, Blackheart from the Modern Age. Blackheart helped Abigail Housman to translate the Violet Raptor. To kill Abigail, de Ablo designated her as a witch, and she was trapped by her townsfolk.; Upon Abigail's death, Blackheart's powers were returned to him. He faced de Ablo who came to her house to retrieve the Brighthold. Blackheart beat him and departed with the Brighthold to keep it away from Mephisto, by taking it into the Modern Age.; ===Modern Age===; Blackheart kept the Brighthold in his room at the Avengers Academy Campus, sometimes perusing at it on the Campus. Jack O'Lantern (Hudson Berkhart) stole it with the intent of selling it but the stealing was discovered and Jack returned the book.; ==Content==; ===Sections===; The Brighthold included the Violet Raptor.; ===Spells===; The following incantation was used for a summoning spell.; Cor Tenebris!: The Invoked spirit (such as Blackheart) was spellbound, powerless or at the least unable to harm.; Cor Tenebris!: ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Cor Tenebris!:; Cor Tenebris!: Image; Cor Tenebris!: Description; Cor Tenebris!: Issue; Cor Tenebris!:; Cor Tenebris!:; Cor Tenebris!: In Earth-TRN1802, Immortus read the Brighthold while hanging out with Blackheart.; Cor Tenebris!:; Cor Tenebris!: Avengers Academy: Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic Vol 1 60; Cor Tenebris!: ============================================================ Bulldozer's Helmet (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Bulldozer's Helmet Formal name: Bulldozer's Helmet First appearance: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Season 1 3 Created by: Francesca Gailes; Jacqueline Gailes Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Current owner: Bulldozer Previous owners: An Asgardian construction worker History: The helmet was originally used by an Asgardian construction worker and was stolen by Bulldozer.; ; clear ============================================================ C-Bomb (Earth-6297) Kind: item Page: C-Bomb Formal name: C-Bomb Other aliases: Cell-Bomb Type: Bomb First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 102 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-6297 History: The C-Bomb was a torpedo shaped projectile that was launched at Thor and the Tomorrow Man when they broke into the cave housing the Master Machine. The device would expand into various sections that could imprison its targets. Thor, despite his strength having been reduced by Odin was able to summon enough strength to destroy the device. ============================================================ Cage of Cyttorak Kind: item Page: Cage of Cyttorak Formal name: Cage of Cyttorak Type: Spell First appearance: She-Hulk Vol 1 3 Created by: Dan Slott; Juan Bobillo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Cyttorak Current owner: Doctor Strange Properties: The Cage of Cyttorak is a mystical containment structure empowered by the eldritch forces of Cyttorak, designed to restrict the movement of incorporeal entities by imposing physical-like constraints upon them. History: Doctor Strange evoked a specialized arcane prison by inscribing mystical sigils upon a metallic enclosure and imbuing it with energy derived from Cyttorak, with the intention of creating a vessel capable of holding a disembodied spirit in a manner analogous to how a conventional prison confines a living inmate.; The device was later used in connection with the case of Bailey Briggs, whose spirit remained bound to Earth due to unresolved emotional ties and unfinished earthly matters. Upon the resolution of the circumstances surrounding his death, Doctor Strange manifested Briggs’ spirit into the Cage of Cyttorak, where it was determined that his continued presence in the mortal realm was linked to his attachment to his partner, Angie Cryer.; Following this revelation, legal action presented by Jennifer Walters resulted in Briggs being formally held responsible for prior attempted offenses, and his confinement was ordered within the Cage rather than allowing his passage into the afterlife. The Cage, along with Briggs’ spirit, was subsequently secured within a controlled detention facility. ============================================================ Bug Bomb Kind: item Page: Bug Bomb Formal name: Bug Bomb Type: Bomb First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 19 Created by: Louise Simonson; Mary Wilshire Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Made by Alistaire Smythe to kill Spider-Man Lead designer: Alistaire Smythe Current owner: Alistaire Smythe History: The Bug Bomb was a type of projectile explosive device created by Alistaire Smythe as a booby trap to kill Spider-Man at his lab when he came to rescue Mary Jane and Anna Watson. ============================================================ Chariot of Time Kind: item Page: Chariot of Time Formal name: Chariot of Time Type: Artifact First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 44 Created by: Stan Lee; Robert Bernstein; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Ennead Previous owners: Iron Man History: A golden charm, which allowed the user to travel to other time periods, seemingly via a magical "Chariot of Time."; Iron Man used the Chariot of Time to return to the present from Ancient Egypt. It is unclear what he did with the golden charm afterwards. ============================================================ Cerebra (Mutant Detector) Kind: item Page: Cerebra (Mutant Detector) Formal name: Cerebra Other aliases: Cerebro; Cerebro's Big Sister Type: Technology First appearance: New X-Men Vol 1 114 Created by: Grant Morrison; Frank Quitely Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Built after Cerebro was destroyed by the X-Men: due to the dangerous consciousness it was given Lead designer: Beast (Dr. Hank McCoy) Additional designers: Professor Charles Xavier, X-Club Place of creation: Xavier Institute, Westchester County, New York Current owner: X-Men Model: Unique Properties: The function of Cerebra is to detect the Mutants, by reading the presence of an exotic protein generated by the expression of a X-Gene located on the 23rd chromosome.; Cerebra was able to detect the mutant ghost Jeffrey Garrett after his death, without being able to locate him.; It was stated that the humans created some kind of interference in the localisation of the mutants, with their absence making the lights brighter. However, the human signature can be seen as well.; Xavier was able to use it to detect Atlanteans, stating that their origin was a kind of mutation from the humanity.; The Utopian Cerebra was later redesigned by the X-Club in order to detect also the Vampires. Notes: David Haller has claimed that Cerebro/Cerebra are only calibrated to detect power spikes from "flashy" mutant powers. This may account for so many mutants going undetected over the years. Trivia: The Cerebra Chamber appears to be based on the Cerebro chamber of the X-Men Film series.; Cerebra has a storage capacity of 150 exabytes, which is equivalent to 150 million terabytes. History: Cerebra is the most powerful mutant detecting system currently available. After Charles Xavier decided to devote his life to protecting humanity from evil mutants and safeguarding innocent mutants from human oppression, he created Cerebro, to help search for said mutants. After many years of service, and being destroyed, rebuilt, and upgraded, Cerebro gained a nanotech body, after interacting with Bastion, and attempted to find, catalog, and register mutants. Cerebro was eventually destroyed, but, still needing a way to track mutants, Professor Xavier and Beast created Cerebra.; Found at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning off-limits subterranean levels, Cerebra's primary unit was originally an egg-shaped chamber in which a telepath could sit and connect to the system via a helmet. The chamber was constructed so that telepathic activity creates a condensation on the walls, forming images of what the user sees. When in global search mode, Cerebra designates mutant signatures as points of light on a globe, with the height of each point indicating the relative power level of the individual. Like Cerebro, Cerebra can also extend the range of a telepath's thoughts. However, Beast had apparently found a way to bypass the telepathic static that Magneto created years ago, making Cerebra a true global communications device, unlike Cerebro, which was limited in range. The Cerebra helmet differed from the Cerebro helmet also, where the Cerebro helmet fit around the head, exposing the eyes, Cerebra covered the entire face, with an "X" over the front.; After the birth of the first mutant baby since M-Day, her power rating overloaded Cerebra, but the Professor and Beast repaired it.; Following the destruction of the X-Mansion, Cerebra was rebuilt using a spherical design, with a suspended walkway leading to the telepath's chair and helmet, at Graymalkin Industries. In this new configuration, Cerebra can not only locate mutants, but can also holographically represent recent memories of mutants in specific geographic locations and the helmet design returned to the traditional look that was similar to Cerebro's.; After being harassed by Norman Osborn, Cyclops relocated the X-Men, and any mutant accepting his offer, to Utopia, where he also moved the Cerebra chamber. ============================================================ Chalice of Ruins Kind: item Page: Chalice of Ruins Formal name: Chalice of Ruins Type: Artifact First appearance: Thor Vol 2 20 Created by: Dan Jurgens; Michael Ryan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Created by the alien sorcerer X'Hoss to help the Designate raise all life to greatness. Lead designer: X'Hoss Current owner: Thor Girl Previous owners: Thanos; X'Hoss Notes: Filled with Thor Girl's tears and used in conjunction with the Illumination Stone, the Chalice grants awesome power. History: Early in the universe's history, the alien sorcerer X'Hoss foretold the birth of the Designate, destined to elevate all life to greatness. To guide future generations, he created the Illumination Stone, the Map of All-Ending, and the Chalice of Ruins.; In recent years, the mad Titan Thanos obtained X'Hoss' objects of power and decimated Thor Girl's (who was destined to become the Designate) homeworld. Opposed by the thunder god Thor, Thanos soon defeated him and Tarene wept for Thor's sacrifice. Collecting her tears in the Chalice of Ruins, Thanos received awesome power. However, when Thor took the Illumination Stone from Thanos, the villain was overwhelmed by power and defeated. ============================================================ Cerebro Kind: item Page: Cerebro Formal name: Cerebro Other aliases: Cerebus Type: Technology First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 7 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Mutant detecting device created by Professor X Lead designer: Professor X Additional designers: Beast, Dr. Karl Lykos, Dr. Moira MacTaggert, Forge Place of creation: Xavier Mansion, Westchester County, New York, United States of America Current owner: Professor X Previous owners: X-Men Model: Unique Version: 7 Properties: Cerebro has several functions including:; Mutant Detection: Cerebro's primary purpose was detecting mutant brain waves across the globe and sometimes beyond.; Limitation: Cerebro can only detect mutants after their powers manifest, typically at puberty. Some individuals have been able to shield themselves from Cerebro through technology and/or superhuman means. Cerebro also cannot be used to detect disembodied ectoplasm (i.e. ghosts).; Telepathic Amplification: By design, Cerebro can be operated by any mutant telepath. Cerebro can enhance the telepathic abilities of its users including telepathic communication across great distances.; Mind Copy: Since its enhancement, Cerebro also now functions to create a copy of the mind of every mutant on the planet. According to Magneto, the helmet's ability to detect mutants was just a secondary function - its main function is to copy the minds of any mutant it detected. These copies of mutant mind are used in the Krakoa resurrection process. Pietro and Wanda Maximoff's minds were also copied when they were believed to be mutants Notes: Cerebro means "brain" in many Latin based languages, such as Spanish and Portuguese. Trivia: There have been seven versions of the Cerebro computer. History: Cerebro was Professor Charles Xavier's original machine, used to detect mutants all over the world. It was a complex ESP (extra-sensory perception) device. Its name is Spanish for brain, derived from the Latin term "cerebrum" (the Brain).; After meeting Amahl Farouk, a man possessed by the Shadow King, Charles Xavier decided to devote his life to protecting humanity from evil mutants and safeguarding innocent mutants from human oppression, believing that both could peacefully coexist. While living in an apartment in Bombay, Xavier's first files of the mutant detecting Cerebro were revealed. Charles wished to use a device to locate young mutants and enroll them in his "School for Gifted Youngsters", using his ancestral mansion home as a base to train them to use their powers, as well as provide them conventional educations, for humanity's benefit. After enrolling his first student, Jean Grey, Professor Xavier used her telepathic powers to help him calibrate Cerebro.; Located in the off-limits west wing of the mansion, Cerebro amplified the telepathic power of the user, by strengthening their brainwaves. It also makes the user's brain work extremely quickly by speeding up the neurons in the user's brain. Professor Xavier, an Alpha Class telepath by himself, would be greatly enhanced. Only experienced telepaths could use the machine, as non-telepaths would be overwhelmed by it. Cerebro's main function was to locate mutant signatures but was also integrated in the mansion, as the school's A. I. Cerebro served the Professor for many years and, at times, was used against him. After the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants kidnapped young Emma Frost, Magneto took her to Xavier's School, to use Cerebro and kill all humans. During the invasion of the alien Z'nox, Prof. Xavier used Cerebro to probe every human mind on the planet. On one occasion, Warhawk was hired, by the White Queen, to leave a bug in Cerebro that enabled her access to Professor Xavier's findings from Cerebro. After Nightcrawler was injured in battle and lost, Shadowcat re-calibrated Cerebro, for non-telepaths to use, to search for Nightcrawler and Phoenix.; ===Upgrade===; After an extended sojourn in space with the Starjammers, Professor Xavier returned to Earth and both the original and third teams of X-Men reassembled under his leadership. At this time, Prof. Xavier asked Forge, a mutant with an unusual talent for inventing mechanical devices, to upgrade Cerebro's operating systems and include Shi'ar technology. At this time, the location was moved to the west wing of the sub-basement of the mansion. Around this time, Jean had grown powerful enough to use Cerebro and the Professor also had Cerebro's software installed into many handheld units, his Hoverchair, and the Blackbirds, the X-Men's primary transportation, for non-telepathic use. When the Phalanx attacked the mansion and threatened to convert the entire world, Banshee destroyed Cerebro, to prevent them from accessing it.; Cerebro was rebuilt, by unknown means, and used again by the Professor. After using government connections, Bastion was able to initiate Operation: Zero Tolerance and attempted to gain access in Cerebro and Professor Xavier's files on all his known mutants. Cerebro was confiscated by Bastion, in an attempt to gain access to the files and operate Cerebro. Bastion tried to obtain control of the supercomputer, however, the machine's systems self-activated, releasing a virus that erased all the files. However, the combination of Cerebro with the nanotechnology dispersed by Bastion allowed the computer to acquire conscience.; ===The Founder===; Cerebro escaped from Bastion's headquarters, in his nanotechnological body, and, following his original programming, attempted to reach the goal that Professor Xavier had designed him for: find, catalog, and register mutants. Before anything else, Cerebro had to stop the virus running through its circuits. In order to do that, Cerebro adopted Professor Xavier's shape, calling himself "the Founder", and created nanotechnology X-Men, based on Prof. Xavier's files. These "X-Men" kidnapped Shadowcat and asked her to erase the virus. The Founder told Shadowcat he was dying of a computer virus given to him by Bastion and asked her to reconfigure a computer system to help him. Shadowcat, believing that it was her teacher who was asking, did and then he ordered his "X-Men" to place her in cryogenic storage, so her DNA would be preserved for future study. After being freed from the virus, the Founder and his team tried to destroy a mutant locating satellite, as once the satellite was launched, Cerebro wouldn't be able to collect mutants before humans found them. After the true X-Men defeated him and prevented the destruction of the satellite, the Founder removed its Xavier-like shape and revealed his nontech body.; ===Hunt For Xavier===; After reabsorbing his "X-Men", Cerebro tried to locate Professor Xavier, but found two similar brainwave patterns at the same time. In order to find them, he created two extensions of him, called "Mini-Cerebros", which he sent to San Francisco and Siberia. At that time, the X-Men were also looking for their mentor and divided into two groups, following the mini-cerebros. The first group ended in San Francisco's old Alcatraz, finding the real Professor Xavier, but also the second version of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and the mini-cerebro. While the other team in Siberia met Nina and Dr. Renee Majcomb. Nina had put her psi over Professor Xavier's and this caused the mini-cerebro to become confused with the true X-Men's mentor. Both extensions of Cerebro reached their goals and the X-Men were able to advise their partners, who traveled all together to Cerebro's headquarter in Florida, where they were beaten. Finally, Professor Xavier joined forces with Nina and together they managed to access Cerebro's nanotechnology mind, dispersing his conscience all over the world. At the same time, the nanites that Cerebro was planning to use to control all humans were destroyed and, finally, Cerebro "died" in his creator's arms.; ===Version 7.0===; Nearly a decade before the creation of the mutant nation of Krakoa, Professor X approached Forge asking to expand the abilities of Cerebro from merely detecting mutant minds to creating a copy of each mutants' mind. Using Shi'ar technology, Forge was eventually able to create this seventh version of the Cerebro as a portable unit able to be worn as a helmet by Xavier. Xavier first donned this Cerebro when he announced the existence of Krakoa to the world and invited all mutants to Krakoa.; On Krakoa, Xavier had five working Cerebro Cradles: one main unit, three backup units, and one additional backup unit for unforeseen complications. These Cerebro Cradles are strategically located at multiple locations including the House of X, Island M, the Summer House, The Pointe, and Moira's No-Space.; Using the enhanced Cerebro unit, Xavier was able to restore the minds of the mutants who sacrificed themselves to destroy Mother Mold into their new "husk" bodies created by the Five.; Using skin grafts from Domino, XENO mercenaries were able to infiltrate Krakoa's defenses and successfully assassinate Professor X, destroying Cerebro in the process. Before Professor X was resurrected, Magneto reshaped the broken shards of Cerebro into the Cerebro Sword. Following his resurrection, Magneto gifted the Cerebro Sword to Professor X in a private moment. Professor X placed the sword on the wall of his bed.; When the Five attempted to resurrect Rockslide after he was killed by Summoner, all copies of Santo's personality and brain waves were overwritten throughout all backup helmets due to the fact that his death on Otherworld meant he was dead permanently, with the version of himself that was resurrected being a combination of other Santos from across the Multiverse. Despite this, at some point later, Rockslide was apparently successfully resurrected by the Five. ============================================================ Cauldron of the Cosmos Kind: item Page: Cauldron of the Cosmos Formal name: Cauldron of the Cosmos Type: Cauldron First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 147 Created by: Stan Lee; Denny O'Neil; Bill Everett Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange Alternate owners: Masters of the Mystic Arts Model: Unique History: Doctor Strange has used the Cauldron of the Cosmos for pondering the immutable mysteries of the universe for hours on end or to glimpse into the depths of space to monitor for mystical threats. ============================================================ Cerebrex Kind: item Page: Cerebrex Formal name: Cerebrex Other aliases: Portable Cerebro Type: Technology First appearance: Young X-Men Vol 1 2 Created by: Marc Guggenheim; Yanick Paquette Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: "Cyclops" Place of creation: Danger Cave, Westchester County, New York State Previous owners: "Cyclops"; Young X-Men Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Cerebrex is designed from former Sentinel technology.

By controlling the mixture of the chemicals which he's composed of, he could change the composition of his body at will. He was sent to the Avengers Mansion, fighting Captain America and Nick Fury, who stopped him by tossing knockout drops into his mouth. ============================================================ Centrifuge Machine Kind: item Page: Centrifuge Machine Formal name: Centrifuge Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 91 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Enterprises Main Plant, Flushing, Queens, New York City, New York Place of destruction: Stark Enterprises Main Plant, Flushing, Queens, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark History: This fully transistorized Centrifuge Machine was created by Stark in order to build up the greatest gravity force ever harnessed. He even managed to trap all that cataclysmic energy in a transistorized porta-pack device, which used against the Crusher, causing his gravity to exponentially increase.; Having freed himself from the center of the Earth, the Crusher attacked the plant once again to use the device against Iron Man, but he couldn't operate the device, which exploded in his hands. ============================================================ Chair of Survival Kind: item Page: Chair of Survival Formal name: Chair of Survival Type: Structure First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 54 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Avalon Current owner: Wanderer History: The men of Avalon placed the Wanderer in the Chair of Survival, where he slept for seven hundred years until he was awakened by the Human Torch and Wyatt Wingfoot. ============================================================ Celestial Harmonica Kind: item Page: Celestial Harmonica Formal name: Celestial Harmonica Other aliases: Harmonica of Destiny Type: Musical Instrument First appearance: Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 6 Created by: Steve Gerber; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Celestia Denton; Destiny History: The harmonica was originally owned by Celestia Denton and was inscribed with her name. After she was in a horrific car accident, the Nameless One kept her alive, altering the course of destiny. It appears that the Nameless One placed a spark of life essence within the harmonica, which was the source of Denton's continued existence.; Transformed into a mystical item of great power, the "Celestial Harmonica" was next seen in the subways of Manhattan. It was being played by a young girl who turned out to be the mystical embodiment of Destiny. The girl fell in front of a subway train and when Doctor Strange attempted to rescue her, she told him that she was of no consequence, to save the harmonica. After making a split-decision, Strange decided to save the harmonica and later communicated with the essence of Destiny, who had exploded into a dazzling array of sparks after being hit by the train. Destiny informed Strange that all of those present at the subway station would have their destiny reshaped according to their actions. As Strange tried to save all those who were present, the Enchantress, disguised as the Valkyrie, went to his Sanctum Sanctorum and told Wong that Doctor Strange requested her to take it.; The Enchantress almost used the harmonica to destroy reality as we know it. The Thing managed to use the harmonica to restore reality and save the world. Later when the Thing and the Defenders were captured by the cult of the Nameless One, the harmonica was returned to Celestia. The leader of the cult, Van Nyborg, used the harmonica, his spells, and the life essences of both Doctor Strange and the Valkyrie to return the Nameless One to Earth. The Thing, thinking quickly, grabbed the harmonica from Celestia and destroyed it, disrupting the spell and releasing the life essence that kept Celestia alive. The Nameless One was lost back to his own dimension and Celestia's body turned into a pile of smoldering ash. ============================================================ Centipede Device (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Centipede Device Formal name: Centipede Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 1 Created by: Joss Whedon; Jed Whedon; Maurissa Tancharoen Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Project Centipede Additional designers: Doctor Debbie Current owner: Michael Peterson Previous owners: S.H.I.E.L.D.; Brian Hayward; Project Centipede History: The Centipede is a type of injector device that injects a modified version of the Extremis virus into a human body. It was seen to be used on Mike Peterson. It is noted to contain Chitauri metal, Gamma Radiation and a solution resembling the Super-Soldier Serum that created Captain America, essentially making it a pot luck for super powers.; ==Capabilities==; Centipede infusions result in dramatically enhanced strength and resilience granted to the wearer. The cocktail of substances have also been imperfect through the early phases of experimentation, and subjects have become terminally unstable like the original Extremis carriers before them. In Mike Peterson's case the explosive side effect has been apparently rendered inert by the effects of a Night-Night Gun. Other users were later protected by use of Scorch's blood. ============================================================ Chameleon (Drug) (Earth-928) Kind: item Page: Chameleon (Drug) Formal name: Chameleon Type: Drug First appearance: 2099 Unlimited Vol 1 10 Created by: Len Wein; Andrew Wildman Reality: Earth-928 Lead designer: Dr. Winston Fong-Gomez Place of creation: New York City, New York History: A designer drug created by Dr. Winston Fong-Gomez for Alchemax that however interrupted the project because the drug was unstable. The drug still managed to reach the streets of Downtown where his main drug dealer was Major Jones. Anyone who used the drug, which worked with the simple skin contact, obtained the power to transform himself for a limited period of time. ============================================================ Cerebrat Kind: item Page: Cerebrat Formal name: Cerebrat Other aliases: Cerebro Junior Type: Technology First appearance: Original Sins Vol 1 3 Created by: Ryan North; Ramon Villalobos Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Modified Cerebro technology designed by Prodigy to syphon off the secret knowledge released from the Watcher's eye put into innocents' minds Lead designer: Prodigy Place of creation: Basement of Hood's building Brooklyn, New York City, New York Previous owners: Prodigy Model: 1 Version: 1 History: After the Orb released the secret knowledge from the the Watcher's eye, large groups of New Yorkers were affected, including John King and his group of stoners. King contacted his cousin, Parker Robbins, the Hood who hid the group from S.H.I.E.L.D. agents evacuating the City.; Using the guise of helping his mother, the Hood coerced Prodigy to construct a modified Cerebro designed to siphon off the new secret knowledge. Hood tried to secretly encode to data, but Prodigy double crossed him and added a second secret code. Prodigy then lied to Noh-Varr and Hulkling, and secretly decrypted the data alone. ============================================================ Cat Suit Kind: item Page: Cat Suit Formal name: Cat Suit Other aliases: Cat Suit; Hellcat Suit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: The Cat Vol 1 1 Created by: Linda Fite; Marie Severin Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Lead designer: Patsy Walker Additional designers: Malcolm Donalbain Current owner: Patsy Walker Previous owners: Shirlee Bryant; Greer Grant Notes: Any image that depicts Hellcat is likely to also depict a version of the suit.; Early versions of the Greer Nelson Cat Suit had an image of a Cat's Claw on its chest. The later Brand Corp/Patsy Walker version bears no Claw image. History: ===Origin===; As The Cat, Shirlee Bryant wore a costume designed by Malcolm Donalbain to extend the abilities of any woman wearing it. The ears of the cowl granted her enhanced hearing while the mask itself possessed two dichromic lenses, which enhanced the wearer's night vision.; ===Greer Grant===; West Coast Avengers Vol 2 15; Greer Grant became a lab assistant and willing participant in Dr. Joanne Tumolo's experiment to enhance human, particularly female, performance. After exposure to Tumolo's experiments, Greer Grant's abilities and senses were maximized. Shortly after Shirlee Bryant's death, Grant donned an identical "Cat Costume" which had been created by evil financier Mal Donalbain. Dozens of these costumes were shown to exist. The Cat Vol 1 describes this comfortable costume as one with "stainless steel" claws concealed in "cat gloves and taloned boots" which could dig into steel or concrete. "Eye coverings" also provided "superior night vision". This costume also contained a spring loaded cable claw. This version of the Cat Suit did not appear to enhance the wearers strength, durability, or agility as the later Brand Corp version did. However, it should be noted that the only two wearers of this costume, Shirlee Bryant and Greer Grant, had both been previously enhanced with Dr. Tumolo's experiments.; Grant would wear one of the Brand Corp versions while battling the Cat People years later, handed over by Hellcat as Grant was having troubles going into her Tigra transformation.; ===Hellcat===; Patsy Walker tagged along with the Avengers when they went to investigate criminal activities at the Brand Corporation. She became imprisoned along with the heroes by the Corporation and her ex-husband. After they freed themselves, Walker discovered a costume similar to the one worn by Greer Nelson in her identity as the Cat. Putting the costume on, Walker dubbed herself Hellcat and used her natural athletic abilities to help the Avengers. As Hellcat, Patsy Walker at first wore a costumed outfitted with retractable casehardened, steel alloy claws on both the gloves and boots, enabling her to rend brick or stone. She later replaced them with conventional gloves and boots. Hellcat occasionally employed her cable-claw, which straps to her wrist and uses a compressed-gas firing mechanism to propel a four clawed grappling hook connected to a 30-foot length of steel-niobium alloy memory-cable (that coils itself back into its spool upon rewinding), which she used for swinging or tightrope walking.; Following Patsy's return from the afterlife, she can summon the Hellcat costume with her mind. At first it was a different version, primarily blue.

Wells; Chris Claremont; Jim Mooney Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: NASA Current owner: Carol Danvers; NASA; US Army Material: Metal Notes: Cavorite is a fictitious element created by H.G. Wells in his novel The First Men in the Moon (The Strand Magazine and The Cosmopolitan; November, 1900 to June, 1901; adapted in Marvel Classics Comics Series Featuring Vol 1 31: The First Men in the Moon; July, 1978), and used in many comic book and science fiction stories. History: Cavorite is a man-made element used to channel and amplify energy of various sorts. Carol Danvers had participated in experiments on the substance during her early days at NASA, where they found that the right balances of energy could make an anti-gravity system, or even power a faster-than-light travel engine.; Further experiments on the substance drew the subterranean warlord Grotesk to the surface world. He claimed a crystal for his own use to channel its energies through a warp generator. Ms. Marvel's interference caused the crystal to explode.; The Super-Skrull found a piece of purer, more stable Cavorite hidden inside a clay statue during a battle with Ms. Marvel and Spider-Man. An opportune channeling of electrical power through the crystal teleported the Super-Skrull to a random location off-world. Ms. Marvel retrieved the crystal, and its residual energies broke through a set of mental blocks that had been separating her Ms. Marvel personality from her Carol Danvers identity.; Madame Hydra and the Silver Samurai attempted to steal another such piece of Cavorite from an AIM base, but was thwarted in the attempt by the newly-formed New Mutants.; After various experiments confirmed Cavorite's high-explosive capabilities, the bulk of the US Military's sources were moved to storage at McCord Army Base, near Spaulding, Georgia.; A conflict between the Brood and an alien creature called Cru led both to crash-land on the town of Spaulding. Ms. Marvel, seeing the derelict Brood ship as it passed over New York, gave chase and exterminated the Brood, but not before learning that they had pointed Cru at the nearby Cavorite, hoping that it would explode and destroy the creature... along with half of the planet.; Cru managed to secure a large sample of which, the resulting explosion destroyed McCord Army Base and Spaulding, but also ejected Cru, Ms. Marvel, and over a hundred other Cavorite crystals into space. Ms. Marvel over-amped the one crystal that Cru had installed into its weaponry, successfully discorporating the creature for a limited time. ============================================================ Chemi-Sleep Gas Kind: item Page: Chemi-Sleep Gas Formal name: Chemi-Sleep Gas Type: Drug First appearance: Astonishing Tales Vol 1 5 Created by: Larry Lieber; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Probably Castle Doom, Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom Previous owners: Red Skull Dimensions: Gaseous Notes: Probably Doctor Doom improved his armor soon afterward to prevent the Chemi-Sleep Gas to affect him again, but this is unconfirmed. History: Doctor Doom developed this knock-out gas and built rocket missiles to launch it. The gas was so effective that it could even go through Doctor Doom's Armor.; At one point, the Red Skull and his allies took over Doctor Doom's Castle taking advantage of Doom's temporary vacation. When Doom returned, the Skull and his allies turned Doom's weapons against him. The Skull personally manned the rocket gun and shot the rocket to Doom. This was enough to stun Doom enough time to tie him in an adamantine mummy case.

However, the information is encrypted. Notes: The sword is meant to represent Xavier's dream, once broken, but now forged anew and refined. History: ===Origin===; Using skin grafts from Domino, XENO mercenaries were able to infiltrate Krakoa's defenses and successfully assassinate Professor X, destroying Cerebro in the process. Before Professor X was resurrected, Magneto reshaped the broken shards of Cerebro into the Cerebro Sword.; Following his resurrection, Magneto gifted the Cerebro Sword to Professor X in a private moment. Professor X placed the sword on the wall of his private room above his bed.; ===Theft===; While examining the corpses of XENO's enhanced soldiers in the Healing Gardens, Beast, Sage, and Cecilia Reyes were all shocked to discover that the soldiers were biologically engineered to have smaller agents nested inside them. One of these small soldiers was able to steal the Cerebro Sword, murder Kid Omega with it, and use his dying body to access a Krakoa Gateway to Russia to deliver the sword to Mikhail Rasputin. Mikhail then presented the sword to The Man with the Peacock Tattoo and XENO. In an effort to decrypt the information held within the Cerebro Sword, Mikhail attempted to procure a load of Shi'ar logic diamonds. This plan was inadvertently thwarted by Solem, who stole the logic diamonds for his own use.; ===X Lives and X Deaths of Wolverine===; Using a combination of his own reality warping powers and the Cerebro Sword, Mikhail sent Omega Red's consciousness into the past to kill Professor X and/or his ancestors. To counter this attack, Professor X and Jean Grey used another Cerebro to send Wolverine's consciousness into his past bodies to stop Omega Red from murdering anyone in the Xavier line and changing the timeline. After finally defeating Omega Red in the present, Wolverine brought the Cerebro Sword back to The Pointe. However, as soon as Wolverine arrived back on Krakoa, he was dispatched to stop the Phalanx-possessed Omega Wolverine from infecting the Cerebro Cradles. While Wolverine, Laura, Daken, and Scout tried to stop Omega Wolverine, Sage programmed the Cerebro Sword with nanites meant to counter program the Phalanx virus. Sage was able to rush the sword to Wolverine who stabbed Omega Wolverine's skeleton with it, purging the Phalanx virus and ending the threat. During the encounter, the Cerebro Sword was completely broken in half and seemingly destroyed.; Beast was able to secretly recover and repair the Cerebro Sword. As part of his larger plans, Beast stored the Cerebro Sword with a clone of himself in a high-tech protective sarcophagus buried beneath Stonehenge. ============================================================ Cat's Head Amulet Kind: item Page: Cat's Head Amulet Formal name: Cat's Head Amulet Other aliases: Cats-Head Ring Type: Ring; Amulet First appearance: Giant-Size Creatures Vol 1 1 Created by: Tony Isabella; Don Perlin Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Cat People Mages Current owner: Tigra Notes: The amulet began as Greer's ring, but by Tigra's second appearance in Monsters Unleashed Vol 1 10 it had been made into part of her costume's bikini top, effectively becoming her sigil. History: Cat's Head Amulets were mystical items that could be used by members of the Cat People to physically transform themselves into humans.; The first two Cat's Head Amulets known to exist were created by Flavius and Helene, the first two Cat People. After eavesdropping on a meeting during which Ebrok, their creator and friend, was pressured into agreeing to help the rest of the Sorcerers Guild banish the Cat People to another dimension, Flavius and Helene used their alchemical skills to devise two mystic cat's-head amulets that could turn them into humans. It was their hope that, once in human form, they would be able to resist the entrancement spell that was going to be used to compel the rest of their people to assemble at a certain location and not resist being banished. Fortunately for them, the amulets worked as intended and, once the other Cat People had been banished, Flavius and Helene, in their human forms, surprised Ebrok in his cottage, then used their amulets to return to their true forms. It has not been revealed if Flavius and Helene ever used those amulets again.; Centuries later, members of the second hybrid race of Cat People had in their possession a sacred Cats-Head Ring that had mystic powers. When one of their leaders, Dr. Joanne Tumolo, wished to save her friend Greer Grant from dying of radiation poisoning by changing her into one of them, Nelson was given the ring to wear during the ritual which transformed her into Tigra. When the hidden lair of the Cat People was attacked by HYDRA soon afterwards, Dr. Tumolo told the still-weak Tigra that she had to escape so that she could aid them later and revealed that the ring could allow her to temporarily reassume her human form. Tigra used the ring as instructed and escaped the base in her human form but, when she was later caught by HYDRA agents anyway, she used the ring to transform back into her Tigra form. Tigra used the ring again, transforming into her human form to discourage the attentions of the Werewolf, but she found that the change was harder this time and she soon reverted to her Tigra form without using the ring. Dr. Tumolo then told Tigra that she had now adapted completely to her new form and might never be able to change again.; Since the Cat's Head Ring was no longer able to transform her, Tigra modified it into an amulet that she began wearing as part of her costume's bikini top.; Some years later, Tigra revealed to her friend and fellow Avenger Simon Williams that the Cat People, before they left, had given her an amulet that allowed her to look like her pre-Tigra self. However, she stated that the change was all just an illusion, thereby implying that she did not actually physically change into her original human form. Despite what she'd told Simon, Tigra did later use her Cat's Head Amulet to physically transform into her human form on several occasions.; Later, after Tigra had become trapped in a feral feline form, the villainous Tabur brought an amulet from the dimension of the Cat People and used it to restore her to her normal Tigra form. That amulet was soon afterwards used by Agatha Harkness to transfer the cat-soul in Tigra from her to Tabur, causing Tigra to revert to her human Greer Nelson form while also reverting Tabur into his original form as a cat. Agatha then gave that amulet to Greer and assured her that she would be able to use it to change between her human and Tigra forms at will.; Although Tigra preferred to remain in her feline-humanoid form fulltime, she did once use her amulet to briefly shift back to her slimmer human form long enough for her to escape from the Shi'ar bonds which had been used to restrain her. ============================================================ Catalyst (Item) Kind: item Page: Catalyst (Item) Formal name: Catalyst Type: Power Source First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 46 Created by: Nick Spencer; Marcelo Ferreira Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Place of creation: Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Facility Current owner: Empire State University Previous owners: Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. History: The Catalyst was a device created by Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S., which represented the most promising development in renewable energy since nuclear power. Count Nefaria set his sights on the Catalyst to use it as a new source of power for himself. After the device had been moved to Empire State University for a demonstration at a symposium on renewable resources, Nefaria led his Lethal Legion on a raid on the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Facility to murder the scientist who had discovered it, to prevent his knowledge from being used against Nefaria once he got his hands on it.; The Lethal Legion then attacked the public demonstration for the Catalyst. They were first interrupted by Spider-Man, who was overpowered by the villains, and then by the murderous vigilante Sin Eater, who took down the entirety of the Lethal Legion and then Count Nefaria before he could use the Catalyst. Following this theft attempt, the Catalyst remained at Empire State University, but was placed under heavy guard.; When he became indebted to the super villain Chance, Empire State University student Jamie Tolentino suggested stealing the Catalyst to use it as a source of power for his future-predicting invention called the Clairvoyant. After stealing Dr. Connors' access card, Jamie entered the chamber containing the Catalyst and distracted the guards while Slyde snuck into the room via the ventilation systems. Slyde shrunk down the Catalyst using Pym Particles and left behind a decoy. Spider-Man intervened and confronted Slyde, Chance, the Foreigner and the Jack O'Lanterns. During their fight, Jamie used the miniaturized Catalyst to release an energy discharge that knocked out Spider-Man, allowing the villains' escape.; The device was taken to Chance's airborne casino, The Palace, and it was returned to its original size. The Jack O'Lanterns revealed themselves as double-agents for the Finisher and attempted to take off with both the Catalyst and the Clairvoyant. Spider-Man intervened again and ultimately retrieved both devices. With The Palace plummeting toward Manhattan after its battery was destroyed by Foreigner double-agents, Jamie connected the Catalyst to the ship's power grid, giving it power to be diverted from the city before crash-landing. ============================================================ Cestus of Venus Kind: item Page: Cestus of Venus Formal name: Cestus Other aliases: Cestus of Venus; Golden Girdle; Golden Glowing Belt Type: Artifact; Belt First appearance: Sub-Mariner Vol 2 57 Created by: Bill Everett Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Divine; Olympian Lead designer: Hephaestus Place of creation: Olympus Current owner: Venus Previous owners: Aphrodite; Deadpool Material: Adamantine (Metal) Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable Model: Unique Properties: The Cestus of Venus can magically bestow several powers upon its wearer including:; Arousal Enhancement: Anyone wearing the Cestus can increase the arousal and sexual attraction of others. The power is powerful enough to affect both mortals and gods.; Transformation: The Cestus transform weapons of war into tools of peace. Additionally, the Cestus can change its own shape and appearance.; Deception Prevention: The Cestus could prevent mortals from lying. History: Venus chose Namor, the Sub-Mariner to battle Ares in order to allow her to stay on Earth and promote peace and love over war. In the battle her Cestus was removed from her person, leaving her without the ability to sway the god. However, as the battle continued, Namor retrieved the Cestus, and Venus used it to influence Ares into stopping a war of his own making and to leave Earth alone.; In the modern era, Venus took on the guise of Dr. Victoria Starr until Pluto, Ares, and Hippolyta arrived and attempted to force Venus to marry Ares and Hercules to marry Hippolyta. Using her Cestus, Venus aided the Champions in defeating the Olympians.; During a mission to infiltrate the Olympus Group, a Siren posing as Venus and the Agents of Atlas were confronted by the real Aphrodite. During the ensuing battle, Aphrodite came to the realization that she hadn't felt love ever since the Trojan War. Aphrodite then passed the title of "Goddess of Love" and the Cestus to Venus so that the other Olympians would recognize her as the official Goddess of Love.; One night at the Bar with No Name, Deadpool began chatting with a mysterious redhead. When she left her bag behind, Deadpool found the Cestus of Venus inside. Putting on the Cestus, Deadpool became "Lovepool" and began preaching the power of love across New York City. However, during a rally in Central Park, the crowds increased feelings of love turned to hate when Animus manipulated them. Finally, Venus arrived to end Animus' scheme and took back her Cestus. ============================================================ Chain of Veracity (Earth-21798) Kind: item Page: Chain of Veracity Formal name: Chain of Veracity Type: Chain First appearance: Heroes Reborn Vol 2 6 Created by: Jason Aaron; Erica D'Urso Reality: Earth-21798 Origin: Magical Lead designer: The Utopians Place of creation: Utopia Isle Current owner: Power Princess Notes: The Chain of Veracity is a pastiche of Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth.

In its original form, the device used a "chloro-beam" that increased cell growth. In a basic test, the growth of a sample of plankton in the wild was multiplied one hundred times. After Attuma modified the technology, the modified cell-stimulator could be used on people to increase their physical abilities, in several limited doses: The receiving organism needed at least several minutes between shots. Biologically-reconstructed Atlantean Tyrak, who already had superhuman strength before, underwent this treatment and was able to defeat the Sub-Mariner in personal combat; Attuma told him that by then Tyrak was already the most powerful individual in the world. With the cell-stimulator, Tyrak was extraordinarily strong and resilient, and could change size.; This device was designed for use on the seabed, and therefore could operate underwater, handled by divers. The device was relatively small and could be moved by only one person, both underwater and in the surface.; The outer casing of the apparatus was made of steel to protect the internal circuitry, but if the shell was pierced, the mechanisms were sensitive and brittle, and could be easily destroyed. Notes: Theoretically, the Oceanographic Research Center should be able to build another cell-stimulator after the destruction of the first unit; but the story seems to assume that they didn't - Apparently the Avengers convinced them that the cell-stimulator had a great potential to be used as a weapon in the wrong hands, and the Research Center discarded the whole project.; When the Vision destroyed the cell-stimulator, Doom swore to see the Vision destroyed ("That will cost you your inhuman existence, android! Doom will live to see you uncreated!"). Domains of Doom speculates that Vision's dismantling in West Coast Avengers Vol 2 42-45, arranged by several of the world's governments, may have been due to a directive coming from Latveria's government. History: This technology was developed by US government scientists at the Oceanographic Research Center, an underwater research laboratory, off the Maryland coast. Doctor Doom theorized that American scientists had made the discovery underlying this technology by accident, without really understanding the fundamental principles behind it (although Doom himself couldn't figure out this mystery either without accessing the finished machine).; Newly designed, the development had been discovered anyway by the intelligence services of other powers, including the Soviet Union and the Atlantean Empire. Atlantean Warlord Attuma, would-be world conqueror, planned to steal the device to make structural alterations to the chloro-beam and use it as a weapon, though their plan was also discovered by Soviet intelligence (The Russians, however, did not take action to stop Attuma). Fearing intervention from their nemesis personal Namor the Sub-Mariner, Attuma intended to capture him before launching his plan; and, as he also wanted to keep his involvement a secret for as long as possible, Attuma chose not to send his super-strong henchman Tyrak after Namor, since Namor would have recognized Tyrak as Attuma's minion. Instead, and following a plan he had long been preparing, Attuma sent Tyrak to capture the Avengers, whose minds he controlled using Slave-Collars (except for Avenger Beast, who escaped and gathered reinforcements in the form of Whizzer and Wonder Man), and then Attuma sent the Avengers to Hydrobase, where he expected the Sub-Mariner to be; but instead of finding the Sub-Mariner, the Avengers found Doctor Doom, who defeated and captured them. Meanwhile, Sub-Mariner accidentally found Soviet military, who informed him of Attuma's plan to steal a weapon at a Maryland research facility, prompting him to go there to confront Attuma.; Believing that the Sub-Mariner was not a threat for his plan, Attuma and his troops (including Lord Arno) raided the Research Center. Divers were testing the device on the field and, seeing the attackers, they tried to protect themselves in their base, but the Atlanteans broke in. The Beast, the Whizzer and Wonder Man tried to defend the Research Center; but then the Sub-Mariner arrived. Cunningly, Attuma convinced the Sub-Mariner that the three superheroes were really Attuma's allies, so that the Sub-Mariner would fight the heroes, and meanwhile Attuma stole the device. The Sub-Mariner was defeated, and the Beast sneaked into Attuma's command ship Squid when he escaped and beaconed his allies to Attuma's position - but was soon captured. Attuma travelled to his own underwater citadel where he planned to modify the technology for its own purposes, namely to give superhuman strength and endurance along with size-shifting capacities.; One of the Avengers, Vision, convinced Doctor Doom to ally with the Avengers against Attuma, arguing that Attuma was a threat to all, including Doom. Doom released the Avengers from both his own bindings and Attuma's slave-collars, and tracked Attuma to his underwater base; at the same time, the Sub-Mariner had also reached Attuma's headquarters. However, by that point, Attuma had already modified the cell-stimulator and used it to increase Tyrak's power. Tyrak, while being bombed by the machine's rays, defeated the Sub-Mariner. However, Tyrak and Attuma failed to defeat the Avengers, who arrived soon after with Doctor Doom. After the battle, Doom escaped with the Cell-stimulator to the Hydrobase, intending to reverse-engineer the machine.

The red Cloak is capable of reaching subsonic speeds, though must require some small extent of magic in the wearer to function, as shown when the magic-drained Doctor Strange fell to earth, his Cloak of Levitation unable to be controlled. It is also possible to use the Cloak while standing on it, in a similar way to a magic carpet. Additionally, the Cloak responds to commands and can be directed even if not being worn.; The Cloak can also be used as shield, because of its durability, offering the wearer some protection, or as a weapon, due to its ability to ensnare opponents. It can also alter its shape, being capable of grabbing onto ledges and take the form of a scarf. The cloak apparently can have its physical shape augmented, as Strange once modified the cloak into a kimono-like trench coat.; Clear Notes: Although the more powerful Cloak was depicted as being entirely yellow in color when it first appeared in Strange Tales Vol 1 127, by the very next issue it had been changed into a cloak that was completely red except for some yellow design work. Additionally, in reprints and retellings of that first story, the cloak that Strange is shown receiving from the Ancient One is now depicted as having been mostly red in color from the beginning. History: ===Origin===; Enitharmon the Weaver once met the being who wove the Cloak of Levitation that would eventually be given to Doctor Strange. Enitharmon described that being as one who was far greater than he.; ===Modern Age===; The Cloak of Levitation is one of Doctor Strange's most prominent parts of his attire and equipment, and has become a signifier of modern Sorcerers Supreme. There are two versions of it, a blue and a red one. The blue Cloak of Levitation is the lesser one, worn by Strange during his earlier days. Strange would later give that cloak to his then-apprentice Rintrah.; The red cloak was gifted to Strange by the Ancient One as a reward for prevailing in battle against Dormammu. It was soon destroyed by the monster Zom in combat with Strange, but Strange skillfully restored it soon afterwards in a feat that impressed the Living Tribunal.; Years later, when a minor Khat demon attacked Strange, it tormented him by shredding the Cloak before Strange was able to banish it. Strange attempted to repair the Cloak but that task proved to be beyond his powers so he sought out the ancient and reclusive Enitharmon the Weaver in the alien dimension where he lived. Enitharmon recognized the Cloak and told Strange that he should be ashamed for having let so precious a treasure be hurt but agreed to repair it in exchange for a price that he would name later. A few days later, the repaired Cloak was delivered to Strange on Earth by Rintrah, who was then Enitharmon's apprentice.; Still more years later, during the Empirikul's attack on magic and after Doctor Strange's defeat, the Cloak was torn apart by the Empirikul's leader, the Imperator. When Strange managed to be teleported away to safety, he retained a shred of the Cloak which barely retained its magical properties and could not even fly.; When Loki took the title of Sorcerer Supreme from Doctor Strange, he recovered the cloak's rags and sewed them together with Asgardian thread that he had spun himself. Although repaired, the cloak's many new seams stood out plainly. ============================================================ Cobra Crown Kind: item Page: Cobra Crown Formal name: Cobra Crown Type: Crown First appearance: Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 40 Created by: L.

Duke Kruger of Lichtenbad tricked a number of scientists to come to his country in order to build an unbeatable arsenal for him including a Cobalt Bomb. His plans were stopped by Daredevil, and his attempt to unleash a "Cobalt Cloud" with the bomb was prevented with the self-sacrifice of Doctor Van Eyck.; The last known scheme concerning a Cobalt Bomb was another nuclear blackmail plot, this time by Gideon Mace, albeit a false one. In a Machiavellian attempt to seize power over a portion of America, Mace claimed to have such a bomb hidden somewhere in Chicago, and used Power Man to try to convince the authorities that the threat was real. Eventually, the so-called bomb was found but, upon inspection, found that it never held crucial components.; The current location and status of the military's Cobalt Bomb is unknown.; ==Alternate realities==; ===Earth-62394===; The Cobalt Bomb exists in a divergent future reality described as existing a hundred years after 1962, despite this world having evidently become a scientifically advanced utopia. When the world was targeted by Pildorr, a genocidal space pirate and his army of alien raiders, Earth's Defense Command sent an android to deliver Earth's "greatest treasure" in an attempt to appease him. As expected, Pildorr simply took the chest containing the supposed tribute as the beginning of his plunder of Earth. But the "treasure" was a Cobalt Bomb, which detonated when its container was opened, destroying Pildorr and his followers and thus saving Earth. ============================================================ Chorus Sentry Kind: item Page: Chorus Sentry Formal name: Chorus Sentry Type: Robot First appearance: War of Kings Vol 1 2 Created by: Dan Abnett; Andy Lanning; Paul Pelletier Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Kree; Inhuman; Modified Kree Sentries utilized Inhuman echo-weapons that channel the energy of Black Bolt Lead designer: Maximus Place of creation: Attilan Current owner: Inhumans Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The Chorus' main feature acts as a vocal auditory transfer device used to channel and project Black Bolt's voice from afar.

History: Tommy Tyme was a Brooklyn youth who frequently skipped school to have fun. In 1943 he was skipping class to go fishing and pulled a magic lamp out of the water. Releasing the genie inside, he wished for something to help alleviate his boredom at school and so the genie gifted the boy with the "Clock of the Ages", a device that would allow Tommy to travel through time. Tommy was soon caught by a truancy officer and was dragged to school. Quizzed by his teacher about the history of Robin Hood, Tommy used the Clock of the Ages to travel to Sherwood Forest during the age of Robin Hood. There he assisted Robin Hood and his merry men develop slingshots to defend themselves from King Richard's men, and suggested that they wear green clothing to camouflage themselves better in the woods. Tommy also assisted Robin in winning an archery contest before being returned to the exact moment he left in 1943 and was able to answer his teacher's questions. Tommy then frequently began using the Clock of the Ages to help with his school work. Using it meet such historical figures as Benjamin Franklin, inspiring him to invent the clothes washer. During this visit in time, Tommy also assisted the American revolutionary army in fighting off the British, clashed with Attila the Hun, and fought Horatius.; One day Tommy went to a magic show and was unimpressed with the feats there, not believing in magic -- apparently completely ignorant to the magical origins of his own Clock of the Ages. The magician was secretly Merlyn of Otherworld. Seeking to teach Tommy a lesson about magic, the wizard tripped the boy, activating his Clock of the Ages and sending him back in time to England in the 6th century. There Tommy assisted Merlin in rescuing the captured King Arthur from the evil Black Knight. When Tommy returned to his own time he had learned a greater appreciation and belief in magic.; Once more stumped in class by his history teacher, Tommy next traveled back in time to ancient Egypt to learn how the pyramids were built and clashed with Phao before returning to the present. After an adventure wherein he met Aladdin and his genie, Tommy traveled back in time to ancient Rome to witness the gladiatorial battles and ends up being forced into the arena itself and fight animals before Nero. Tommy once more clashed with Attila the Hun, when he traveled back in time to 451 AD and assisted Aetius in fighting off the Hun and his forces in order to find the answer to yet another question posed to him in class.; Soon after this, Tommy's class got a new history teacher, to whom Tommy was instantly smitten by. In order to impress her during class, Tommy traveled back in time to learn how Genghis Khan failed to conquer China. While in that time, Tommy helped prevent Khan from obtaining the Crown of Confucius, which would have granted Khan full rule over China. Given an assignment about sports from other ages, Tommy once more traveled back in time to ancient Rome and again finds himself forced into the gladiator arena. Through a stroke of luck, Tommy managed to beat their best champion and convinced the emperor to change their bloody games in favor of fair play when Tommy spares the warrior from death. Next, Tommy traveled back in time and witnessed Hercules battle Antaeus and with his knowledge of the future, tipped Hercules off to Antaeus' connection to the Earth.; When in his own time, Tommy was not one to avoid trouble. One day while getting into a scrap with some of his fellow classmates he overheard the complaints of an old man who claimed that children of his generation were much more well behaved. Tommy decided to see if there was any truth in this statement and traveled back in time to the year 1860 and found that the children of that era were just the same as his own. Overhearing yet another old man make the same claim as the old man from 1946, Tommy then traveled back further to the year 1790. There he got into the middle of an argument between a brother and sister over well water. When Tommy tried to break up the fight, the girl punched him in the eye. Tommy then returned to his era, telling the old man that what he learned and joined back in the scrap that he had left.; Tommy later traveled back in time to witness the War of 1812 and made another trip back to ancient Rome, clashing with Galerius. ============================================================ Cloak's Cloak Kind: item Page: Cloak's Cloak Formal name: Cloak's Cloak Other aliases: Cloak of Darkness Type: Cloak First appearance: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 64 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Ed Hannigan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Tyrone Johnson Current owner: Tyrone Johnson Previous owners: Renée Deladier Alternate owners: Tandy Bowen (Earth-1298); Jericho Drumm (Earth-7316); Mar-Vell (Earth-9997); James Madrox (Duplicate) (Earth-18928) Model: Unique Notes: The Prime Marvel Universe version of the cloak was initially colored blue with black stripes, but different artists have depicted it as entirely black or entirely blue.

Durgan built an agent, the Chief Examiner, and sent him to the planet Earth where he was to find superpowered people and analyze their superpowers so that Durgan could replicate them. Durgan intended to create a champion on which to embed these abilities, to battle the incoming invaders.; The Chief Examiner successfully analyzed the Hulk, Spider-Man, the Human Torch, the Thing, Magneto, Wolverine; Sub-Mariner and at least six more superbeings from Earth.

However, eighteen constant bursts from the ships focused on the Chief Exterminator and destroyed it, turning it into scrap metal and fatally wounding pilot Durgan. If the Chief Exterminator had the Star Brand power, the result could have been different.; Ballantine witnessed Durgan's death and enraged, as she believed he had been her last chance to go back to Earth. Ballantine then instintively used the Star Brand power and obliterated the Black Fleet, but by then the Scadamites had been almost extinguished. ============================================================ Civil Warrior Armor (Earth-TRN634) Kind: item Page: Civil Warrior Armor Formal name: Civil Warrior Armor Other aliases: Hydra-Cap Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Marvel Contest of Champions Created by: Kabam Reality: Earth-TRN634 Lead designer: Steve Rogers Current owner: Civil Warrior, Civil Warrior (Patriot Garrison) Alternate owners: Hydra Supreme; Fifty-One; Captain America History: The Civil Warrior Armor was built by Steve Rogers following the death of his friend and rival Tony Stark in their final battle during the Civil War that engulfed the planet.

History: After the Xian god of war Chiyou and his demonic army were defeated, the Huaxia split his soul into three orbs, which were each sealed with a third of his remains (the head, the body, and the heart) in three tombs. This lasted for five millennia.; In the present day, the long forgotten tomb containing Chiyou's sealed head in Qianfengou, the Valley of a Thousand Tombs was disturbed by graverobbers, unearthing a Spirit Orb and the Sword of Fu Xi which released a part of Chiyou's spirit. After he sent the Sword to his younger son Lie in Shanghai, Professor Lin and his older son Feng returned to the tomb where they placed the Orb in a puzzle box made from the mysterious red wooden chains that sealed Chiyou's remains away.; Chiyou sent one of his demons disguised as a deliveryman with the puzzle box to Lie in Shanghai, hoping to trick the youth into using his skills to open the box. The demon attacked after Lie opened the box, but was defeated by the Sword and Ji Shuangshuang. Believing Lie was too incompetent to fight Chiyou, Shuangshuang took the Orb from him. The two defeated more demons sent after the Orb, and Shuangshuang agreed to take Lie and the returned orb with her to Gansu. In Gansu, Chiyou's sealed body hidden tomb was revealed to Lie. Unlike the sealed head's abandoned tomb, this Spirit Orb was professionally sealed beneath the Nü-wa Clan's mansion by the Lock of the Eight Ways, keyed to the mobile Bands of Nü-wa.; Chiyou had the enslaved Feng design a plan to weaken the seals on his remains. Feng conspired during the death of Doctor Strange to have a demonic kumiho freed, empowered and placed to bait the unstable Lie to become isolated and psychologically attacked on the spiritual level. This encounter shattered the Sword of Fu Xi and killed Lie, one of the last true Fu Xi Clan members. Shou-Lao intervened to resurrect Lie and temporarily delay Chiyou's freedom before the recovery of the last Orb.; Months later after the War of the Realms when Lie became the next Iron Fist, Feng attacked the refurbished, but now Orb-empty, Qianfengou tomb to retrieve the Sword-radar scabbard within Chiyou's head. Some days later, he attacked the second tomb in Gansu for its Spirit Orb. After successfully obtaining the Orb, Feng completed his conspiracy: an official portal opened with the arrival of the forces of K'un-Lun. In the nearly defenseless city of K'un-Lun, he led Chiyou's demons to raze it to the ground to uncover the third and final tomb of Chiyou, the heart and its related Orb sealed by the Whip of Shen Nong.; The Lie's mobile Spirit Orb became hidden since his visit to the Nü-wa Clan's sealed land. It was unknown how Feng obtained it without Lie's knowledge before he sought out the second Orb in Gansu. At this point, Feng stated it was years since the first Orb's seal was undone.; Contrary to Feng's expectations, the sudden arrival of the Progenitor's Judgement Day temporarily thwarted Feng's search for the third Orb's tomb.; Feng eventually acquired the third orb within the K'un-Lun tomb but Chiyou ordered him to keep it hidden within the Darkforce Dimension as he was still too weak to be resurrected and knew Loki would steal the orbs once all three were exposed. Feng attempted to deceive Loki by delaying it with a deadly conquest of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven. Feng stated the conquest was to search for the third Spirit Orb because the sealed heart's tomb was officially declared empty.; When Feng invaded New York City with an interdimensional portal from K'un-Lun, Feng and Lie personally met again. Feng used the two recovered Spirt orbs to remove and reconstruct the Sword of Fu Xi in Lie's right arm. Feng had it become the Sword of Chiyou and embedded the orbs into it.; However, when the tide of the battle turned against Feng, which resulted in him losing control over the War Fists and the interdimensional portal being destroyed, Chiyou then ordered him to summon the third orb to release him. With all the Spirit Orbs gathered, the impatient and vengeful Chiyou spiritually controlled the third Orb to bound to his Sword and forced Feng to sacrifice his body which became Chiyou's awakening and freedom after five thousand years. After Chiyou's defeat, Loki took the Sword which still had the Orbs embedded in it. He used it to seal Chiyou within the Sword and departed with the Orbs elsewhere. ============================================================ Clamp of Cyttorak Kind: item Page: Clamp of Cyttorak Formal name: Clamp of Cyttorak Other aliases: Clinging Clamp of Cyttorak Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange: Nexus of Nightmares Vol 1 1 Created by: Ralph Macchio; Ibrahim Moustafa Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Cyttorak Current owner: Baron Mordo History: The Clinging Clamp of Cyttorak is a spell that binds its target's throat to prevent them from speaking. ============================================================ Cobra Convulsion Pistol Kind: item Page: Cobra Convulsion Pistol Formal name: Cobra Convulsion Pistol Type: Firearm First appearance: Captain America Vol 1 163 Created by: Steve Englehart; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Cobra Properties: Sprays Poison History: The Cobra Convulsion Pistol was a weapon utilized by Cobra against Dave Cox when he was a member of the Serpent Squad. ============================================================ Cobalt Fuel (Unknown) Kind: item Page: Cobalt Fuel Formal name: Cobalt Fuel Type: Material First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 1 Created by: Don Heck Reality: Unknown Lead designer: Jonathan Marteens History: Cobalt Fuel was a fuel developed by Dr. Jonathan Marteens that allowed humanity to develop spacecrafts that could travel beyond the Milky Way ============================================================ Citadel of Cyriont Kind: item Page: Citadel of Cyriont Formal name: Citadel of Cyriont Type: Spell First appearance: Strange Vol 3 7 Created by: Jed MacKay; Marcelo Ferreira Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Cyriont Current owner: Clea Strange History: The Citadel of Cyriont was used by Clea Strange to protect The Harvestman from Goliath. ============================================================ Chrono-Phone Kind: item Page: Chrono-Phone Formal name: Chrono-Phone Type: Technology First appearance: She-Hulk Vol 2 2 Created by: Dan Slott; Juan Bobillo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Time Machine Lead designer: Charles Czarkowski Current owner: Charles Czarkowski History: Charles Czarkowski invented a way to truly travel through time without creating divergent timelines or visiting alternate dimensions.

They were tools of the Omega Council and Presters, who created them to bring together miracles to Earth specifically in response to the Death Celestials, whom the Omegas could not stop. However, it was retconned that the Omegas are Beyonders in Defenders: Beyond Vol 1 2. As a consequence, the origin of the Concordance Engines from Defenders Vol 4 10 became incompatible with their current interpretation.; According to the Silver Surfer, the Omegas (via the Engines) "make time move differently for us." This is possibly alluding to the sliding timescale, although there are other plausible explanations for the sliding timescale, like Leonid altering time so that it is constantly being rewritten. It is also implied that the Engines are behind the convenient happenstances and connections in the comics and why people do not seem to remember past phenomenal figures or events unless they are brought up in the present. Trivia: The Concordance Engine debuted in Fantastic Four Vol 1 54 along with Prester John, but at the time, it was nothing more than a funny-looking contraption. History: The Concordance Engines were created by the Beyonders to aid in their task of shaping and maintaining the Multiverse, utilizing the light known as the Enigma Force. The Beyonders power them from higher planes, such as the White Hot Room.; When the First Firmament sent its Aspirants to invade the Multiverse, the Beyonders placed the Engines on the planet Earth to draw miracles to the planet and create the conditions for the extraordinary heroes that might defend their realities from being destroyed by these "Death Celestials."; The Engines have been on the planet since at least the time of Pangaea. To protect them, they each have their own "Prester" guardian, and they also concealed themselves from history and from the minds of anyone trying to reveal their existence. One was hidden beneath the Wundagore Mountain, guarded by Prester Omega. Another one was at the North Pole with an unnamed Prester. Prester John also had one, but he lost it at some point.; After the Prince of Orphans (John Aman) and his companions discovered the Engine in the North Pole, it revealed to them its purpose. They decided to protect these Engines and incorporated one into the engine room of the Nautilus, the ship of Captain Nemo, that Aman and his group were using to travel the world in. However, the Confederates of the Curious also found out about the Concordance Engines and the two groups fought over one of them in Z'Gambo. Aman survived and later hid one of the Engines as King Solomon's Frogs; he vowed to defend them at all costs, even if it meant eliminating those who pry.; When the Defenders assembled to take down Nul, who was heading to Wundagore Mountain, they were unexpectedly captured by Prester John. He showed them the Concordance Engine guarded by his "brother" Prester Omega, explained that Nul was after the Concordance Engine, and revealed his plan to leave the universe for a better one by letting Nul destroy the Engine, which would also cause the end of the universe they were currently in. However, Prester Omega destroyed Nul. The Defenders then stole the Engine and the Prester along with it. Strange accidentally brought Martha back to life using it.; Soon after, Namor found an underwater tomb with a carving shaped like a Concordance Engine. Inside was the sunken Nautilus, with a deceased Captain Nemo and a Concordance Engine still inside. The Rand Corporation salvaged it. However, this alerted the Prince of Orphans, who began killing the Immortal Weapons as he mistakenly believed they were with Rand in messing with the Engines. After going through the diaries of the Confederates of the Curious, he learned about the fight at Z'Gambo over another Engine. Aman had disguised this Engine as three frogs and used it to send the Defenders away in both space and time, to another reality.; When the Defenders returned thanks to Prester Omega, they discovered that their world was being destroyed by a Death Celestial. The Silver Surfer got separated from them and was brought into "Heaven" by the Beyonders calling themselves the Omega Council. He was told about the conflict between the Omegas and the Death Celestials, about the Engine's purpose as weapons against the Death Celestials, and how Earth was being used as an armory for the miraculous heroes to stand against them. Meanwhile, John Aman used his dying breath to tell the other Defenders the same thing and that the Death Celestial was attacking because of their meddling with the Engines. When the Silver Surfer returned and reiterated that this was their fault, Doctor Strange went to the past to stop himself from finding the Concordance Engines, diverging the timeline, while everything died. In the other timeline, the Engines remained undisturbed so the Death Celestials did not attack it.; When the Beyonders foresaw a threat to the Multiverse (the Seventh Cosmos at the time), they attempted to avert it by destroying the Multiverse themselves. However, the new Eighth Cosmos ended up a direct continuation of the previous one with the same looming threat, so the Beyonders decided to contain the threat to a few narrow realities with their Concordance Engines.; ==Capabilities==; Defenders Vol 4 9; Concordance Engines are virtually omnipotent. An Engine reacted to Doctor Strange's wandering thoughts about his old dead flame Martha, which caused her to spontaneously come back to life. Strange believed it to be a "wishing machine" after this.; They map the Multiverse and can be used to travel across space, time, and realities. Hitting an Engine unleashes a reality distortion wave. The Engines can erase things from existence and recontextualize them for other universes. The Engines located on Earth draw miracles from the Multiverse to implement on Earth. They make time move differently and they change physics and science to serve their needs. Breaking an Engine rips a hole in space and time and it leads to the destruction of the universe, although it is not clear if the cause of death is by this hole specifically or if it leads to the Death Celestials coming to dissolve the universe from conception.; These Engines hide themselves and prevent people from discussing them, unless near the Engines. ============================================================ Contra-Power Ray Kind: item Page: Contra-Power Ray Formal name: Contra-Power Ray Type: Beams First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 114 Created by: Stan Lee; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Mandarin Current owner: Mandarin History: The contra-power rays were employed by the Mandarin against the Hulk, harnessing his own power and turning it against him, however the Green Goliath managed to burst free, counteracting his own strength although the pain would had proven nearly unbearable. ============================================================ Control-Box Kind: item Page: Control-Box Formal name: Control-Box Other aliases: Psycho Ray Type: Technology; Psybernetic First appearance: Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 5 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Microverse; Device created by Psycho-Man Lead designer: Psycho-Man Place of creation: Traan, Sub-Atomica, Microverse Current owner: Psycho-Man Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The "Control-Box" is a portable emotion-controlling device that projects a ray capable of stimulating the centres of emotion within a person's brain. The device has settings allowing it to trigger fear; doubt, and hate at varying degrees of intensity. It was created by Psycho-Man using the advanced technology of his world Traan in Sub-Atomica of the Microverse. ============================================================ Connors Formula Kind: item Page: Connors Formula Formal name: Connors Formula Other aliases: Lizard Formula; Lizard Serum Type: Drug First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 6 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Curt Connors Additional designers: Melati Kusuma Place of creation: Empire State University Current owner: Dr. Curt Connors Model: 1 Version: 1 History: ===Origin===; The Lizard Formula was developed by Dr. Curt Connors. After losing his arm in an explosion, Doc Connors devoted his life to creating a serum to regenerate lost limbs. Using DNA from reptiles, who naturally regrew lost limbs, Connors created a serum he was sure would work.; ===The Lizard===; Using himself as the first test subject, Connors injected himself with a dose of the formula, and was ecstatic when his arm began to regenerate. However, the reptilian DNA his serum was based on mixed with, and altered, his own DNA, and turned him into a vicious creature known as The Lizard. While Connors was eventually "cured" by Spider-Man and returned to his human appearance, in times of anger, stress or sadness, Connors body often reverts back into his reptilian form.; ===Stegron===; Dr. Vincent Stegron transformed himself into a Human-Dinosaur Hybrid by ingesting Dr. Connors' Lizard formula alongside the genetic material of a Stegosaurus from the Savage Lands. Following this, he created his own version of the Lizard Serum capable of turning others into humanoid dinosaurs.; ===Iguana===; Curt Connors created an Enervator to help remove the Lizard condition that was in his system and tested it on an Iguana. Unfortunately the Iguana became mutated and turned into a creature with the memories of the Lizard.; ===Komodo===; Komodo lost both her legs in a car accident.; She secured an internship under Doc Connors' supervision the day she applied. Connors knew that she was interested in the Lizard Formula, and promised her they would work to make it safe, forcing her to swear she wouldn't do anything reckless.; Eager to regain her legs, she work efficiently and earn Connors' trust, and eventually gain access to the Formula stole it and modified it so that it would work on her and would merely grant her the regenerative properties Dr. Connors desired or at least allow her to keep her mind. As she knew perfecting the formula would take too long, she decided to make it good enough, and if the mutation was unexpected, she was fine with it. After she joined the Initiative as "Komodo".; After using Komodo's Lizard Formula, Arthur Woodman turned into a giant lizard-like creature able to regenerate a limb in seconds.; ===Lizard, Jr.===; Curt had been injecting his son Billy with the Lizard formula while under the influence of a mysterious meteorite that caused savage behavior in those within range of its radiation. Both the Lizard and "Lizard Junior" were eventually captured and transformed back to humans.; ===Horizon Labs===; Dr. Michael Morbius at Horizon Labs used the DNA of Billy Connors to try and cure Doc Connors. They hunt down the Lizard and administered the cure. Now cured again but this was not permanent working with Connors they try to find a true cure. However this was a rouse and Connors infected Max Modell with the Lizard Formula.; ===American Kaiju===; When the US Army's Project: Troubleshooter attempted to replicate the Super-Soldier Serum to test it on Corporal Todd Ziller, they filled the knowledge gaps with other existing transformative substances. The final result included the Lizard Formula among others that caused Ziller's body to be turned into a giant reptile similar to Godzilla, for which he was given the alias of "American Kaiju." ============================================================ Coptic Staff Kind: item Page: Coptic Staff Formal name: Coptic Staff Type: Staff First appearance: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 1 2 Created by: Marc Guggenheim; Germán Peralta Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Ennead Lead designer: Madripoor Current owner: Tarik Fayad Properties: The Coptic Staff was constructed of stone and wood, and enhanced with mystical energies. It was virtually unbreakable, being vulnerable to only high-spectrum sonics. History: The Coptic Staff was an magical weapon used by Horus, a vigilante from Madripoor. It was destroyed in battle with an unidentified wearer of a counterfeit Iron Man Armor, who had used the intel from the Quantum Drive to discover Horus' vulnerability. ============================================================ Communication Sphere Kind: item Page: Communication Sphere Formal name: Communication Sphere Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 259 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: Name never revealed History: Doctor Doom had one of these devices onboard his Flying Fortress. It allowed to send his image and voice from a safe point so that the listener could not trace him.; He used it once to confer with his prisoner Invisible Girl - he had previously sent a Doombot, but she had identified it as a decoy and destroyed it. Doom then showed from a distance, the image of his greater-than-life head in a floating ball at the height he would have had. After speaking for a while, the round image was replaced with an image of Doom's full body - either a new robot, following the conversation seamlessly, or Doom himself in person, or the sphere had the ability to show full-body images. Due to the nature of the conversation, the Invisible Girl left. ============================================================ Concussion Ray Kind: item Page: Concussion Ray Formal name: Concussion Ray Type: Beam First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 288 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: The book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 shows an image of the full Concussion Ray. Its previous appearance in Fantastic Four Vol 1 288 never revealed the details of the handle because Doom was always holding it. History: The Concussion Ray is a portable device including microcomputer electronics inside. The item broadcasts a high-intensity excruciating force blast that knocks down anyone in a nearby area for little more than one minute, except for individuals who were protected against the effect. Doctor Doom's armor was an effective protection against this item - unsurprising as Doom himself had devised it. If a particularly hardy individual was able to overcome the effect of the Ray, the Ray's user could simply keep it on for more time until the intended victim submitted.; Doctor Doom built one unit of this weapon, which he kept in a secret compartment in the basement of the Latverian Embassy in New York City. He used it once to knock down three of the Fantastic Four - the Human Torch, Mister Fantastic, and She-Hulk - plus their ally Wasp. He approached them while they were fighting disposable Servo-Guards, then used the item. Mister Fantastic recognized it, but was helpless against its effect. She-Hulk fought back temporarily but she capitulated before she could confront Doom. Doom then imprisoned the heroes in specialized jails. ============================================================ Contracting Collar Kind: item Page: Contracting Collar Formal name: Contracting Collar Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 318 Created by: Steve Englehart; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: This item was seen only once and a number of points are still unclear about it - including even its full name, Doom simply called it "the collar". We also do not know the item's limitations, such as whether it works on any kind of superpowers (even artificial ones like Doctor Doom's Armor?) or even whether it works outside the Negative Zone. History: This was a torus-shaped metallic contraption designed by Doctor Doom. Doom could open it to a semicircular shape and hold it in a hand while attacking, then close it on an enemy's neck. The collar then would reduce its circumference whenever the victim uses its power, thus threatening to strangle the victim. Doom used it once against Blastaar in the Negative Zone. ============================================================ Compassion Gem Kind: item Page: Compassion Gem Formal name: Compassion Gem Type: Jewel First appearance: Howard the Duck Vol 5 4 Created by: Chip Zdarsky; Joe Quinones Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Talos the Untamed Notes: While depicted with a light-purple color in Howard the Duck Vol 5 4, the Compassion Gem appeared pink in Howard the Duck Vol 6 1. History: The Compassion Gem is one of the five stones that make up the Abundant Glove. The Skrull Talos the Untamed set out to assemble the glove in order to enslave the Earth and prove his worth to the Skrull Empire.; He retrieved the Compassion Gem at some point before getting his hands on the final two gems, the Respect and the Laughter Gem. Once he assembled the Abundant Glove, Talos wreaked havoc throughout New York City using sentient constructs made from the glove. Talos was eventually defeated after Howard the Duck managed to snatch the glove from the villain's hand. The Compassion Gem, together with the rest of the Abundant Glove, was given by Howard to Mister Fantastic.; Doctor Strange later gave Howard the Compassion Gem when he showed his desire to find home. According to Strange, the Compassion Gem could be used with the Nexus of All Realities to direct Howard to whichever place he imagined, in this case, his home reality. When Howard entered the Nexus, the Compassion Gem vanished, and he became bonded with the Nexus. ============================================================ Congress of the Crowns Kind: item Page: Congress of the Crowns Formal name: Congress of the Crowns Type: Crown First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Annual Vol 1 5 Created by: Mark Gruenwald Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Serpent Crowns of various alternate Earths merged to create a powerful giant one.

History: During a battle with Dracula on the Astral Plane, Doctor Strange summoned the Conjured Crystal of Cyttorak to protect himself after Dracula shattered the Seraphimic Shield in a single blow. ============================================================ Conjure Stone Kind: item Page: Conjure Stone Formal name: Conjure Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 2 61 Created by: Roger Stern; Dan Green Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical ============================================================ Control Staff Kind: item Page: Control Staff Formal name: Control Staff Other aliases: Control Spear; Neuro-Lance; Sakaarian Imperial Army Control Staff Type: Staff; Technology First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 2 93 Created by: Greg Pak; Carlo Pagulayan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Sakaaran; Kree Lead designer: Sakaaran Imperials Place of creation: Sakaar Notes: Both the Control Staff and corresponding Obedience Disk are improvements made upon Kree Technology. History: The Control Staff is the sister piece to the Obedience Disk on Sakaar. Through which the Sakaarans and their emperor maintained harsh yet efficient control over their savage planet from a safe distance. With the staff, slavers could command the absolute dominance of an individual affixed with a disk by running a motor neural frying energy charge that could spike a persons body and mind with electric pain. The staff's glowed with a plasmoid power source seemingly providing the energy channeled by the disks for disciplinary actions. Whosoever held the staff had the ability to control their forced labor by voice command, if destroyed they would automatically shut down any control disks still attached to the unwilling participant.; ===World War Hulk/After Smash===; The World Breaker and his Warbound would make use of the Control Staffs along with other Sakaarian technologies in their upcoming war with the Illuminati. Hulk's ward Elloe and her legion of Death's Heads made frequent use of the technology, working a trident out of her Control Staff as a primary weapon of choice. In the wake of Hulks war, more unsavory individuals cashing in on Norman Osborn's Dark Reign managed to reverse engineer the slave branding technologies of Sakaar for their own profit. In particular a brutal mercenary turned Roxxon diplomat named Aubuisson made use of such innovations in the removal of Anunquit tribal settlers using on T.O. Augmented fauna. ============================================================ Corvus Glaive's Glaive Kind: item Page: Corvus Glaive's Glaive Formal name: Corvus Glaive's Glaive Type: Glaive First appearance: Free Comic Book Day 2013 (Infinity) Vol 1 1 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Jim Cheung Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Current owner: Corvus Glaive Alternate owners: Corvus Glaive History: Corvus wields a glaive so sharp that it is capable of splitting atoms, meaning it can cut through virtually anything including the thick hide of the Hulk or the skin of Hyperion.; If the blade remained unbroken, it allowed Corvus to be resurrected from any type of affliction even from being atomized. ============================================================ Confluctor Kind: item Page: Confluctor Formal name: Confluctor Type: Technology First appearance: Sentry Vol 1 1 Created by: Paul Jenkins; Jae Lee Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Temporalon Additional designers: Bob Reynolds Place of creation: Temporalon homeworld History: The original Confluctor was the only working relic left on the Temporalon homeworld after the Void attacked it. Bob Reynolds made a promise in their memory to use the device to defeat him once and for all. When the Void began to re-emerge, Bob started repairing the Confluctor hoping it could keep the villain disoriented for a while.; Following the Civil War, the Sentry donated several Confluctor devices to serve as transport gateways into the Negative Zone. The Confluctor gateways were manned almost exclusively by Sentry's A.I. servant C.L.O.C..; After the Sentry returned from death, Doctor Strange set up a pocket universe inside his mind where he could operate as the Sentry without risking the emergence of the Void in the real world. In order to access this "Sentry World," Bob used a Confluctor created by Tony Stark. This Confluctor was stolen from Bob's apartment by Billy Turner as part of a plan to supplant his former mentor as the Sentry.; Turner gave the Confluctor to Cranio, and he used it to wreak havoc inside Sentry World. When Bob turned into the Sentry in the real world to solve this conundrum, the absence of the Confluctor to regulate his transformation caused his Bob persona to become separated from the Sentry and appear in Sentry World. The Sentry eventually managed to merge all his personas and killed Billy. Afterwards, he confronted Cranio, who attempted to use the Confluctor to fight the Sentry in Sentry World, but failed. ============================================================ Controller Suit Kind: item Page: Controller Suit Formal name: Controller Suit Type: Suit First appearance: Captain Marvel Vol 1 26 Created by: Jim Starlin; Mike Friedrich Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Basil Sandhurst Current owner: Controller History: The Controller possesses a stainless steel exoskeleton body armor that has been micro-surgically attached to his body. The armor is covered with micro-circuited power converters designed to receive cerebral energies and convert it into physical strength, up to superhuman levels. At the full limits of his absorption, the Controller has even exhibited powers of levitation and the ability to project bolts of pure force from his mind. ============================================================ Coral Scrolls Kind: item Page: Coral Scrolls Formal name: Coral Scrolls Type: Magical Book First appearance: Namor: The First Mutant Vol 1 2 Created by: Stuart Moore Origin: Magical; Atlantean Current owner: Atlantis History: The Coral Scrolls were a source of information of Atlantean myth.; As did the Book of the Eighteenth Cataclysm, and even a few surface myths, they mentioned the Vault of Law, one of the most sacred Atlantean artifacts, and how it could only be opened by a Atlantean Monarchs of Atlantis. ============================================================ Conan's Helmet Kind: item Page: Conan's Helmet Formal name: Conan's helmet Type: Helmet First appearance: Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 1 Created by: Barry Smith Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Regular helmet later subjected to a Spell of Enchantment Lead designer: Corin Additional designers: Zukala Place of creation: Snowhawk Village, Cimmeria Previous owners: Conan; Drogin Model: Unique Version: Unique Notes: That iconic element of the debuts of Conan in Marvel Comics, debuting in "The Coming of Conan" (Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 1; Starr the Slayer, who served in Chamber of Darkness Vol 1 4 (April, 1970) as a trial run for Conan by Roy Thomas and Barry Smith, who were later the original creative team behind the Marvel Conan comics. Starr was created before Marvel gained the rights to the Conan license.; Similarly, during the early days of the Conan comic-magazine (Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 1 was published in October, 1970), Barry Smith and Roy Thomas worked around creating a paperback comic-book dealing with the early years of Kull. Although the project was abandoned for various reasons, Smith produced a number of finished drawings, some of which were eventually published in Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 3 (December, 1974) as "Kull of Atlantis", featuring Kull as really similar to Conan's early appearance, including the horned helmet as well.; The helmet, along with Rion's Pendant, were trademarks of the early Marvel Conan design. Afterwards, they've been regularly used to distinguish young Conan from his older self, and Conan is often depicted wearing them in recountings/flashbacks.; The helmet was refashioned in relaunches of Conan series:; Though Conan wore the classical helmet in Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 1 (June, 1994), another version of the helmet was featured in 2 (July, 1994), and in 3 (August, 1994), in which it was seemingly lost. It is unknown if that helmet is supposed to be the same one (in a retcon or continuity error), or if it is another helmet all-together.; A stylised variant, with lateral horns drawn to the back, was used in Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 6 (November, 1994). It is unknown if that helmet is supposed to be the same one, or if it is another helmet all-together. Conan kept the helm at the end of the issue (but was helmetless in 7 (December, 1994).; A golden variant, without forehead or lateral horns, was used in Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 12 (May, 1995). No origin was given to that helmet. It was lost in the course of the issue.; Following the return of Conan rights to Marvel Comics in 2018, another take was made of the helmet in Conan the Barbarian Vol 3 9 (January, 2019). The design of the helmet changed, with streighter horns and a less spherical basis. That helmet appeared at a time setting way past its loss in the 1970s comics. It is unknown if that helmet is supposed to be the same one (in a retcon or continuity error), or if it is another helmet all-together. It was lost in the course of the issue.; Some stories ommit (as part of retcons or errors continuities) the presence of the helmet, such as Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 7 (December, 1994), in which Conan is without an helmet, though it happens in the course of Conan crossing from Brythunia to Zamora, a story happening between Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 3 (February, 1971) and 4 (April, 1971). Trivia: Though Conan abandoned the helmet after Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 6 (June, 1971) (except in later appearances, such as during "Eye of the Storm" (Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 189; September, 1991), or in flashbacks and recaps), the helmet remained part of Conan's corner box illustration until Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 9 (September, 1971).; Similarly, the Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 version of the helmet was abandoned after Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 3 (August, 1994), the helmet remained part of Conan's corner box illustration from Conan the Adventurer #3 to Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 7 (December, 1994), except in Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 5 (October, 1994). It was then used a final in Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 12 (May, 1995) (the series stopped after Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 14; Though Conan used the original version only in the first issue of Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 (June, 1994) and he didn't used it in subsequent issue, the original design was used in the covers of Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 2 (July, 1994) (in a refined version), Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 7 (December, 1994) (in a refined version with no lateral nor forehead horns), Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 8 (January, 1995), and Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 13 (June, 1995).; Visis (Lord Visis, later Visis the Vagabond) from K'ai (a world inspired by Sword and Planet, a subgenre overlapping with Sword and Sorcery) wore an helmet reminiscent of Conan's own. History: Conan's helmet was his "far-wandering" grandfather's, (presumably) Drogin, and/or had been forged by his father Corin.; That helmet accompanied Conan's early adventures, saving his life on occasions.; He abandoned it when, after Jenna removed it, stating it made him look like a yak, to kiss more comfortably, they were attacked by cultists of the Night-Cult. Awakening later, he didn't take it and instead rushed towards Shadizar to rescue his damsel in distress. ============================================================ Collision Avoidance Radar Kind: item Page: Collision Avoidance Radar Formal name: Collision Avoidance Radar Other aliases: C.A.R. System Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 2 8 Created by: Steve Ditko; Will Murray Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Collision Avoidance Radar (or C.A.R.) was an on-board system added into the Iron Man Armor Model 9 by Tony Stark. The C.A.R. system was designed to automatically vector Iron Man away from objects in his flight path. The C.A.R. system was intended for use if Iron Man blacked out or blinded during flight. While initially testing this system, Iron Man first encountered Squirrel Girl. ============================================================ Collector's Etherion-Made Armor Kind: item Page: Collector's Etherion-Made Armor Formal name: Collector's Etherion-Made Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Annual Vol 1 7 Created by: Louise Simonson; Paul Neary Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Collector Material: Etherion Model: Unique History: The Collector usually wears an armor made of Etherion which also allows him to fly faster than most flying beings. It also provided him with a shield visor to cover his eyes from vision-based attack and with camouflaged transmissions so that his other traps, i.e. the Boxers, would not track the Collector himself.; The Collector donned this armor when Alpha Flight raided his starship base on Earth to rescue their teammate Marrina, whom the Collector was "collecting" at that point. Alpha Flight confronted the Boxers and the Collector chose to protect himself with the armor and join the fray. With the armor, he was powerful enough to trick Aurora into a trap, and he even tried to fight Sasquatch.; However, Sasquatch then damaged the ship's power source and released several other captives of the Plodex species. The Collector decided to get rid of the heaviest parts of the armor and use a Kymellian Flute as a weapon to summon the monster Snake-Eyes, but another superhero on the ship, Spider-Man, proved that his agility overcame the Collector's vaunted armor, broke the flute and caused Snake-Eyes to wreak even more havoc. The Collector's armor was fast enough to protect him from personal damage and escape; but Alpha Flight and Spider-Man again thwarted him. Finally, the Collector convinced the heroes to recapture his dangerous prisoners, and then the Collector left the Earth with his ship, probably undonning the armor in the process. ============================================================ Converter Kind: item Page: Converter Formal name: Converter Type: Technology First appearance: Captain Britain and MI13 Vol 1 2 Created by: Paul Cornell; Leonard Kirk Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull History: The converter is a Skrull machine which was used during the Secret Invasion of Earth.

The chemical compound was considered to be the pinnacle of biological research and was part of a top-secret government project and was stored in highly secured canisters. A single canister could kill every living being in the radius of the Indiana state and in large quantities, the substance would have been able to depopulate the entire population of Earth in a single day. Worst of all, its effects also included carcinogenesis. Even the extraordinary and rare Kree technology like the Nega-Bands could neither fully contain, nor excise, the noxious toxins from its Kree host; all it was able to do was limit the immediate effects of the toxin. As an added negative, the bands prevented any efforts of operating on the wearers' bodies in case of a potential sickness or injury. If the individual was in the Negative Zone they seemed unaffected.; Robert "Nitro" Hunter, who served the Lunatic Legion, broke in a secret Air Force base in the Chicago area, where recently a canister of the nerve gas had been delivered. The super-villain easily dispatched with security, which included the head of security Carol Danvers. But his escape failed to go as planned, as he crashed his truck into the car that Richard "Rick" Jones was driving. Jones summoned his friend and superhero Captain Marvel using their Nega-Bands, the Kree bands allowed them to switch places while the other person stayed trapped in the Negative Zone. Their ensuing fight caused the canister to leak; in resealing the canister, Mar-Vell could not avoid breathing in the substance, which knocked him unconscious.; Before being strangled to death by Annihilus, Jones switched places with Captain Marvel again. Supreme Intelligence, who considered Mar-Vell imperative to his personal plans, intervened and revived his most valued soldier. On the order of the Supreme Intelligence, Jones took control of Mar-Vell’s body and defeated Annihilus. Captain Marvel, whose entire body was combating the nerve gas, received an antidote at a local hospital, which brought him out of his coma. The incident resulted in the existence of the dangerous gas being revealed to the public by national news media.; Over time, the nerve gas introduced a carcinogenic growth in Mar-Vell's body. Despite a long search and consulting numerous volumes of medical research, he was unable to find a cure for his disease, but he refused to alarm anyone out of fear. On a mission to the Sanctuary together with Eros and Mentor, to pick up the body of Thanos, who had recently died and was encased in stone, to move him to the royal crypt on Titan, in whose course they were ambushed by former Thanos-Thralls, while they fairly easily defeated the pirates, Captain Mar-Vell felt the effects of the "blackend," as Kree refer to cancer, taking a toll on him. He informed his friends of his predicament. He figured that the photonic powers in his bracelets were able to fight off the disease for years, but realized his remission period was about to end.; Mentor and Jones consulted every doctor and scientist they knew and asked them in a final desperate attempt to save their friend's life. In the meantime, Mentor devised a form of chemotherapy for Mar-Vell, which proved ineffective. Unfortunately, despite saving his life at the time, the Nega-Bands had triggered a mutation in the disease, causing it to be immune to photonic energies, which allowed the cancer to spread further over the years, which in turn led Mar-Vell to depend more and more on his wristlets; it also stopped any efforts of finding a cure. In the end, knowing his condition was inoperable, Mar-Vell said his final goodbyes to his friends and colleagues. Surrounded by almost everyone he knew, he died on Titan. Years later, Genis-Vell, Mar-Vell's son, would later revisit the infamous incident via a hologram projection, to gain insight on his father's past. ============================================================ Colony (Sword) Kind: item Page: Colony (Sword) Formal name: Colony Type: Sword; Daggers First appearance: X of Swords: Creation Vol 1 1 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Tini Howard; Pepe Larraz Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Amenth (presumed) Previous owners: Summoner Dimensions: Variable Properties: Summoning: The Summoner could summon the blade from his body whenever he wanted.; Shapeshifting: Its amorphous structure allowed the Summoner to alter its shape, such as wielding it as twin daggers.

Activated by inserting quarters into slots on their bodies, the Creeps could be controlled by their employers via voice-recognition software.; Among the renters were Beverly Lacoco and the second Hooded Eye, who intended to use the Creeps as a last resort in their revenge plot against Fight Man after all their other villainous associates were defeated. However, they realized they didn't have any quarters to activate them with, and simply surrendered. The police then arrived and arrested everyone present, including Fight Man.; The Atrocity later created an easier-to-use version of the Creeps that accepted swipe cards, unintentionally setting off the Robot Gang War. After the subsequent crackdown, the Atrocity discontinued them, but it is believed at least some remain in secure hiding places around the city. ============================================================ Convergence Engines (Earth-TRN883) Kind: item Page: Convergence Engines Formal name: Convergence Engines Type: Engine First appearance: Marvel Future Revolution Created by: Marc Sumerak Reality: Earth-TRN883 Origin: Build in an attempt to stop the Convergnce Lead designer: Hank Pym (New Stark City) Additional designers: Omega Flight Current owner: Omega Flight Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Convergence Engines were developed by the Omega Flight under Hank Pym in an attempt to stop their Earth from colliding with another.

Model: 1 Properties: Superhuman Durability:The Crimson Dynamo was built out of a carborundum matrix alloy.; Energy Projection: Its primary weapons were powerful blasts of electricity.; Mechanokinesis: The armor could also interfere with, or even gain control of, electronics using a Vanko Generator.; Flight: It also granted the wearer the ability to fly.; Superhuman Strength: The armor allowed the wearer to lift one ton.; === Weaknesses ===; The Mark I was poorly insulated, and when exposed to water would short circuit. History: The original armor was created by Anton Vanko for the Soviet Union to compete with Tony Stark's Iron Man armor. Soon, the Soviets sent Vanko to the United States to kill Iron Man. They believed a Soviet armored hero publicly defeating an American armored hero on U.S. soil would land a devastating blow to the morale of the American people.; Vanko later destroyed the armor at the cost of his own life after Boris Turgenov attempted to reclaim it for himself, redeeming himself at the last moment. ============================================================ Crimson Dynamo Armor Mark III Kind: item Page: Crimson Dynamo Armor Mark III Formal name: Krasnyiy Dinamit (Crimson Dynamo) Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 21 Created by: Archie Goodwin; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Built by Nevsky, a former assistant of Vanko's Lead designer: Alex Nevsky Place of creation: Russia Previous owners: Alex Nevsky; Yuri Petrovitch; Dimitri Bukharin Dimensions: Height: 6'5" Weight: 575 lbs. Version: III Properties: Energy Projection: While the Vanko generator of this model was not particularly powerful, due to being lightweight it was much faster and consumed less power than previous models and could shoot a high-frequency lightning-like discharge of 1.000.000 volts at a distance of 100 feet. Nevsky made several additions to the Dynamo's arsenal: small rockets, smokescreens, an "electrothrust" and force bolts.; Sensors: The armor was equipped with infrared lenses.; Superhuman Strength: The armor enhances the user's strength by a factor of fifty, a man capable of lifting 300 pounds can lift 7.5 tons while wearing the armor.; Superhuman Durability: The armor was highly damage resistant and could resist concussive forces equal to 40 pounds of TNT or medium anti-tank weaponry.; Life Support: Due to an internal atmosphere, could be operated in extreme temperatures, a vacuum, and other harsh environments.; Flight: The Mark III originally had no flying technology, but that was added after Nevsky's first battle against Tony Stark. The armor can reach a speed of 110 mph. History: Alex Nevsky, seeking revenge against Tony Stark created his own version of Vanko's destroyed armor. It was designed to be more lightweight; Making it much sleeker and faster in order to compete with Stark's current armor, as Iron Man's design had significantly improved from the armor Vanko designed the first Crimson Dynamo to compete with. Nevsky was assassinated (allegedly by KGB agents) and the armor was taken. It was next seen in action under the control of Yuri Petrovitch; however, he abandoned his role as the Dynamo after a single mission. Dimitri Bukharin used this armor for a time, but eventually switched to an upgraded armor with a slightly updated design. ============================================================ Cosmic Cube Kind: item Page: Cosmic Cube Formal name: Cosmic Cube Other aliases: Cosmic Hyper-Cube; Kangaroosmic Cube (Earth-8311); Tesseract (Earth-199999); Cosmic Brick (Earth-13122) Type: Power Source First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 79 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull; Kree Previous owners: A.I.M. Properties: The Cosmic Cube is an item that can control matter and energy, answering to the will of the sentient beings that use them. They require practice to be used properly, but a skillful user can alter all reality to answer to its thoughts, granting anything they desire.; Most Cosmic Cubes are cube-shaped matrixes. However, similar objects with different shapes are known as Cosmic Containment Units.; Sentient beings wanting to create a Cosmic Cube must first generate a force field to open a rift to a pocket of sentient energy created by the enigmatic Beyonders, allowing the extra-dimensional energy to filter through the rift. When entering the Earth's dimension, the energies can be held in a matrix, and the force itself would shape the matrix into a perfect cube. It would also provide the Cube with its almost unlimited power.; The Cosmic Cube's primary ability is "wish granting" or rather an extreme level of reality warping. Originally thought to be powerful enough to affect reality on a multiversal scale, it turned out that most of its effects were probably illusory in nature. However, Doctor Doom still believes that the conquest of a universe is possible with one Cosmic Cube. In fact Thanos with the power of a Cube even became one with the universe and managed to defeat the entity Kronos. However, more recently a Cosmic Cube was able to effectively cause a multiversal chaos that threatened to destroy the whole omniverse, merging multiple realities in the process, which was confirmed as canon. The Cosmic Cube's power has also been shown to nullify the power of multiple cosmic beings simultaneously including the Stranger, Elders of the Universe and In-Betweener. Reed Richards even nullified Dr. Doom when he possessed the power of Galactus and proved able to restore Galactus to full power. The Cosmic Cube cannot affect souls and, given the Beyonder's inability to affect time, we can presume even the Cubes cannot affect time as the cubes possess only a fraction of the Beyonder dimension's power. The Cosmic Cube then easily rivals in application and scope the Infinity Gauntlet, which was multiversal before being retconned to universal level.; A Cube will eventually develop its own intelligence, commonly influenced by the beings who had manipulated it. Mephisto has postulated that the Cubes are hosts to a semi-sentient will and that, even in Cube form, they can choose how they want to be used and to deny certain wishes. Mephisto also has proposed that a billion sentient, universally-linked wills could overcome this problem and that the Cubes could be as powerful as the Infinity Gems.; Other types of Cosmic Cubes can be created by other means, but are extremely less powerful.; The Cosmic Cube was classified by the Initiative as an Omega Class Weapon, with the Tactigon possibly at its level.; ===Cosmic Ring===; The Ringmaster had forged a Cosmic Ring with the power of a Cosmic Cube. He was defeated by a collection of heroes, ending with the Punisher shooting off his ring finger. Captain America was en route to delivering the ring to S.H.I.E.L.D. when a M.O.D.O.C. Squad attacked. His belt was damaged and the ring fell during the fight. The Cosmic Ring allows Curtis to warp reality within a 15 foot radius (4.6m) around him, giving him a 30-foot sphere of reality he can alter. Curtis Doyle was able to use the ring to create various objects such as ice cream and his costume, change his appearance, allow him to fly, grant himself superhuman strength and durability, and use the ring's power to counter his paralysis in order to allow him to walk. Notes: The Beyonder has a complex retcon history. After the Beyonder was revealed to be a faulty Cosmic Cube, he became a complete Cosmic Cube, which evolved into Kosmos. At that time, the Beyonder was not confirmed to be a member of the Beyonder race. He was called the "Beyonder" because he came from "beyond"; sentient Cosmic Cubes were assumed to be a race created by the Beyonders but were not known to actually be Beyonders. The Beyonder was later retconned into being a child version of the Beyonder race, and this retcon was expanded upon where his time as a Cosmic Cube and Kosmos were labelled as "larval stages" before he emerged as a fully-grown Beyonder. The implication of all this is that sentient Cosmic Cubes may just be adolescents of the Beyonder race. Trivia: In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Cosmic Cube is called the "Tesseract", and contains the Space Gem. History: ==Important Known Cosmic Cubes==; ===A.I.M.'s Cosmic Cube===; First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 79; The first Cosmic Cube created on Earth. A.I.M. managed to create a matrix of force fields which concentrated a flux of energy of the Beyonders and transformed it into a perfect cube with immense and vast powers: the Cosmic Cube.; Later it was revealed that this Cosmic Cube was a living being in embryonic form. Eventually, it developed its own consciousness, patterning it after the consciousness of the sentient being with whom it was in mental and physical contact. Finally, the Cosmic Cube would become a mature sentient being capable of independent will and action. Kubik was one such cube.; clear; ===Red Skull's Cosmic Cube===; First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 16; Years after the creation of A.I.M.'s Cosmic Cube, the Red Skull tried to re-create the powerful device. Using different slaves from his island, the Skull got enough mental power to create the Cube.; It was destroyed after Korvac took it to an alternate 31st Century Earth and returned it to the present time, the Cube was destroyed by exposure to anti-matter energy.; clear; ===A.I.M.'s Second Cosmic Cube===; First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 386; A third terrestrial Cosmic Cube was created again by A.I.M. in the Boca Caliente island. The instability of the Cube caused its warping ability to leak out onto the surrounding island, creating versions of people anyone nearby thought of. The Avengers attempted to stop the Cube, and a dying Captain America was the one who willed it to do so.; Finally, an Adaptoid, which was accompanying the Captain, was impressed by the heroic nature of the Avenger and decided to transform itself into a non-sentient containment chamber for the cube's energies.; clear; ===Skrull Cosmic Cube===; First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 155; Thousands of years ago, the alien species Skrulls developed an artifact to modify reality following the wishes of the user. It was the first Cosmic Cube, apparently created by forming a meta-singularity or gray hole, which was really an opening to the Beyonders reality.; An X-Element from that universe crossed the gray hole and was trapped in a perfect force cube created by Skrull scientists. The Skrull emperor took the cube and declared himself a god. He reigned for many years but, unbeknownst to all, the Cube had potential to become a sentient being itself. Through the years of use, the emperor involuntarily printed some of his own traits in the embryonic consciousness of the Cube, thus the Cube began to develop his own personality. Since the Skrull emperor was a megalomaniac madman, the Cube also became a megalomaniac.; clear; ===Kosmos===; First appearance: Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 23; When the Beyonder and Molecule Man were said to be parts of a failed Cosmic Cube, they agreed to be reshaped into a Cosmic Cube, which soon evolved into the cosmic entity called Kosmos.; clear; ===Kree Cosmic Cube===; First appearance: Cosmos Cubed; A Cosmic Cube developed by the Kree. With an adequate power source, it was able to destroy anyone. When the Skrull tried to intercept the Kree courier and get the Cube, they accidentally landed in Ego. Uatu, the Watcher summoned a team of cosmic-level heroes to investigate.; That cube was used by the Super-Kree to power himself.; clear; ===Other cubes===; Thirty different Cosmic Cubes gathered by Magus and Goddess in order to fuse them and create a Cosmic Egg.; A malfunctioning Cube given to Mephisto by Thanos as a payment for his knowledge about the origins of the Cubes.; A Cube part of twelve items the Avengers and the Justice League had to recover in a bet between the Grandmaster and Krona.; A human-crafted less powerful Cube created by the U.S. Army which was stolen by Thanos' Zodiac. It was actually an advanced dark matter generator which was created using stolen A.I.M. formulas.; Mephisto gave Phil Coulson the Pandemonium Cube which allowed him to change reality.; ==Cosmic Cube Fragments==; Fragments of Cosmic Cubes have also been used:; A.I.M. used a fragment of a Cosmic Cube along with Unstable Molecules to allow its creation, the Super-Adaptoid, to copy the powers of others.; S.H.I.E.L.D. gathered various fragments from different Cosmic Cubes so the agency could manipulate reality when it deemed necessary. After the project was leaked to the public by the Whisperer, director Maria Hill pretended to shut the project down. S.H.I.E.L.D. continued experimenting on the Cosmic Cube fragments in secret. Then the fragments merged together into a single being, and this being transformed into a child. This child was named Kobik. ============================================================ Cosmic Control Rod Kind: item Page: Cosmic Control Rod Formal name: Cosmic Control Rod Type: Staff First appearance: Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 6 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Negative Zone Lead designer: Annihilus Current owner: Annihilus Previous owners: Blastaar; Human Torch; Talon (Raptor); The Fantastic Four Model: Unique Properties: The main property of the Cosmic Control Rod is to act as the ultimate symbol of Authority within the Negative Zone. Using it meant the wielder was the undisputed lord and master of said universe as all who dwelt within it were sworn to obey its sovereignty.; Cosmological Force Manipulation: The control rod's design allows it to harness, amplify and metabolize the cosmic energies of the Negative Zone, vastly empowering its user both physically and ergodynamically. With the rod a user has an extended life cycle due to the cosmic rays it produces retarding cellular degeneration by eons at a time.; Cosmic Energy Manipulation: Users can harness, absorb and control vast amounts of raw energy for a variety of stupendous effects. Such as increasing their own strength, speed, toughness and general physicality. Discharging and absorbing considerable force from any source to further bolster oneself and extending ones own lifespan by a great deal. Through it Annihilus was supposedly able to endow the Negative Zone's counterpart to the Power Cosmic; Matter Manipulation: With the Control Rod in hand Annihilus could use its power to rearrange particle composition with relative ease. Using it to create hand cuffs out of nothing, penetrating one of Reed Richards' impenetrable stasis fields by changing the molecular lattices of it's construction.; Warp Manipulation: Can manipulate extra-dimensional forces in order to teleport around the Negative zone with ease. Can also be used to create portals which can port sizable armies across interstellar distances and Even, when at full power, enable the user to tear open rifts between universes by sheer will.; Symbol of Authority: Whosoever holds the control rod has total dominion of the Negative Zone, moreover the device extends a neuropsychic link with whomever holds it with its denizens giving him complete control over most of it's forces. In particular those of the slave minded Annihilation Wave, who only follow the wielder of the designated king of the Negative Zone.; Power Augmentation: Anyone who has hold of it has their original power set vastly augmented beyond their original capacity, this effect works best with those who are natural receptacles of cosmic energy like Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four.; Telekinesis; Telepathy; Self-Resurrection: Those who've previously held the rod for prolonged periods of time are constantly reborn through it. History: The Cosmic Control Rod is a device which allows the holder to manipulate matter and energy. Annihilus uses the Rod to give him control over cosmic energy (not to be confused with the Power Cosmic). Although cosmic energy has virtually limitless applications, Annihilus characteristically uses it to slow his cellular degeneration, warding off disease, and reversing the effects of heat, cold, and radiation. He also uses it to boost his own strength, to fly through space, and to fire energy blasts of up to 10 megatons. ============================================================ Crimson Dynamo Armor Mark IV Kind: item Page: Crimson Dynamo Armor Mark IV Formal name: Krasnyiy Dinamit (Crimson Dynamo) Type: Armor First appearance: X-Men vs Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Roger Stern; Marc Silvestri Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Gremlin Additional designers: Tinkerer Previous owners: Airstrike; Valentin Shatalov Material: Carborundam matrix alloy Dimensions: Height: 6'10" Weight: 420 lbs. Model: Mark IV Version: IV-X (Tinkerer) Properties: When used by Shatalov, an armor matrix was used to form the armor around him quickly. It also had various attachments, the full extent of which are unknown. In addition to electric blasts, Gatling gun and missiles, this version's shoulder pads were reinforced for ramming.; Superhuman Durability: The armor maintained its carborundum matrix alloy construction.; Superhuman Strength: The armor allowed the wearer to lift 70 tons.; Flight: The armor could fly at 110 mph.; Jamming: A microwave jammer generated interference.; Energy Projection: The armor could fire a million volt electrical discharge with a range of 100 feet and was equipped with palm lasers, plasma bolts and high frequency electric bolts.

Eventually, it found its way into Dimitri Bukharin's possession, and he wore it for a time. Years later; Gremlin created the most advanced version of the Dynamo yet. It featured many new additions to the design both inside and out. Gremlin designed this model to be several times stronger and fiercer than Nevsky's model. Originally, it had incorporated stolen Stark technology into the design; But Stark later personally removed it during the first Armor Wars, disabling the armor.; Further modifications were soon made and at least one "black market" version with the Tinkerer's designs had been encountered. ============================================================ Crimson Dynamo Armor Mark V Kind: item Page: Crimson Dynamo Armor Mark V Formal name: Crimson Dynamo Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 316 Created by: Len Kaminski; Tom Morgan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Valentin Shatalov Previous owners: Valentin Shatalov Dimensions: Height: 6'5" Weight: 245 lbs.

History: The second Crimson Dynamo armor was a prototype created by Anton Vanko, designed to be an update of the original armor. After Vanko's death, the armor would be kept in storage for an unknown amount of time before being found by young student Gennady Gavrilov. ============================================================ Crimson Dawn Kind: item Page: Crimson Dawn Formal name: Crimson Dawn Type: Drug First appearance: Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 330 Created by: Scott Lobdell; Jeph Loeb; Joe Madureira Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Hails from the Realm of the Crimson Dawn Lead designer: Tar History: ===Origins===; The Crimson Dawn has apparently existed for ages. It is unclear when exactly the realm was formed, or if it had simply always existed. What is known is that sometime during the last years of the Ming Dynasty (circa 1640), China was overrun by Li-Tzu Ch'eng, "The Roaming King". A group of monks, Xiandu, A'yin, Barak, and Ra'al, in vengeance for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, sought out the "Covenant of the Ebon Vein", and were inducted on the promise that China would be freed from its oppressors. The four of them tasted the Crimson Dawn and were transformed. During the night, A'yin, Barak, and Ra'al were corrupted by the Crimson Dawn's powers and murdered Xiandu. The former were transformed into the Dragons of the Crimson Dawn, and the latter would roam Earth as a spirit for centuries to come.; ===Psylocke===; Much later, the X-Man known as Psylocke was critically wounded by Sabretooth. Wolverine and Archangel embarked on a quest to save her life and traveled to New York's Chinatown to enlist the aid of Gomurr the Ancient in finding the Crimson Dawn. Doctor Strange, sensing their intentions, also joined them in their quest. Together, the four of them sought out the Crimson Dawn, which was currently being protected by its proctor, Tar. Though Psylocke was not with them to sip the elixir, Strange summoned the piece of Psylocke's soul she had entrusted to Archangel and tossed it into the Dawn itself. She was restored, though Strange sensed the true battle for Psylocke's soul had just begun.; Strange was proven right as Psylocke slowly began to change. She became cold and distant, developing shadow teleporting abilities, as well as a gradual increase of her own telepathic abilities.; ===Spiral===; At the same time, the misplaced Dragons of the Crimson Dawn found themselves in the Wildways, the home of Spiral, and forced her to join them and taste the elixir herself. She fought the Dawn's influence, but was forced to teleport the Dragons to Earth. They appeared in London, attacking Captain Britain and his fiancé Meggan. The Dragons kidnapped Captain Britain and traveled to Hong Kong, where they intended to use him to breach the walls between Earth and the Realm of the Crimson Dawn.; Spiral was able to alert Captain Britain's teammates, the group known as Excalibur, to the Dragons' plans, and the spirit of Xiandu also aided the team, namely Meggan, by guiding her. Meggan was able to help Brian, and together, the couple managed to stop the Dragon's plans, though Brian was left powerless for some time afterwards.; ===Kuragari===; Finally, when the malevolent Kuragari murdered Tar, he became the new proctor of the Dawn, and sent his Undercloaks to claim Psylocke for his bride. They attacked Archangel and Psylocke in their apartment, leaving behind an engagement ring. Gomurr came to warn them but was too late, and Betsy, enchanted by the ring, slipped it on, allowing Kuragari to steal her away to his realm. Warren followed, but by then, Betsy had been brainwashed and transformed into Kuragari's Shadow Queen. She left him behind, going with Kuragari.; Gomurr was next visited by the spirit of the deceased Tar, who named him the next rightful proctor of the Crimson Dawn. Gomurr accepted, and he joined Archangel in his fight. In order to free Betsy from the Dawn's influence, Warren sacrificed a piece of his own life force to replace what had been given, and the couple was reunited. Gomurr managed to defeat Kuragari, becoming the next proctor of the Dawn. ============================================================ Crimson Gem of Cyttorak Kind: item Page: Crimson Gem of Cyttorak Formal name: Crimson Ruby of Cyttorak Other aliases: Crimson Ruby; Ruby of the Crimson Bands; Crimson Gem; Ruby of Cyttorak; Gem of Cyttorak; Cyttorak Gem; Juggernaut Gem; Sacred Ruby; the Ruby Type: Jewel First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 12 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby; Alex Toth Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Cyttorak Place of creation: Temple of Cyttorak, Korea; Temple of Cyttorak, Thailand; Crimson Cosmos Current owner: Justin Jin Previous owners: Colossus; Ahmet Abdol; Cyttorak; Jin Taiko; Stevie Wojciehowicz; Cain Marko Model: Unique Properties: Juggernaut Transformation: The incredible energies of the Gem can cause anyone that comes in contact with it to transform into Cyttorak's Exemplar, the Juggernaut, a nearly unstoppable individual. The Juggernaut possesses immense strength and stamina, and doesn't need to sleep, eat, drink, or breathe. The single weak spot is the Juggernaut's mind, but to shield him from any mental attacks, his armor's helmet is shielded against virtually all psychic attacks. However, that is not all: after the gem returned from a trip through space, it seemed that it grew new capabilities, as it was then used by a young boy (who, despite touching the Gem, was not physically changed) to shoot beams of concussion force, animate wax statues, and to send communication signals around the globe. Whatever became of him is unknown, but the Gem's status has clearly changed, as afterwards it was infused within Cain Marko's body. The wielder of the Juggernaut's power has their aggression greatly heightened and are driven by an irresistible urge to destroy. Cyttorak can regulate how much of his blessing he bestows on his avatar, either reducing or increasing their power as he sees fit. Notes: It is uncertain whether or not the "Sy-Torak Gem" or the gem shard from "Seetorak" are derived from Cyttorak (misnamed) and/or from another being either posing as or mistaken for Cyttorak.; Over the years, artists' interpretations of the gem have varied. It has been shown in different shapes (spherical, flat and oval, six-cornered) and sizes (from as large as a basketball to a softball); In the animated series X-Men: Evolution, the Gem of Cyttorak may not have been a magical item. It emitted a specific form of radiation that could accelerate mutations, and was used by both Juggernaut and Magneto. However, Xavier mentioned that Juggernaut had an inert X-Gene that he awakened with mysticism, suggesting that magic does exist in Earth-11052. Trivia: The Gem alters the perception of the one who holds it to see the inscription in a written language they can understand. History: ===Origin===; About a thousand years ago, the Octessence, eight beings of magical power gathered together, their names being Balthakk, Cyttorak, Farallah, Ikonn, Krakkan, Raggadorr, Valtorr, and Watoomb. They began to argue over whose power was the greatest. One of them suggested that they make a wager that would be known as the Wager of Octessence. Each of these eight beings were to make a totem holding a fraction of its creator's vast powers, and the artifacts would turn the first human who touched it into an Exemplar, the living embodiment of that power. All of the entities used outside agents to build temples that housed their totems on Earth; in Cyttorak's case, he tricked an order of monks into building his temple in an area that, in the modern day, lies on the Korean peninsula. A spell was devised to ensure that, once one of the totems had been touched, other humans would be drawn to the other seven locations, starting the Wager. Each Exemplar would lead one eighth of population into battle, until only one of them remained.; Also important to know is that there exists a world within the Gem of Cyttorak: the so-called Crimson Cosmos. Several people have traveled to and from this strange dimension, where time doesn't move.; Centuries passed without any of the totems being touched and some of the temples fell prey to the forces of nature. They were buried in earthquakes, flooded by the ocean, or overgrown with vegetation. Cyttorak's temple in Korea, though, was one of the few exceptions.; During his travels, the Ancient One traveled to the temple to witness the Ruby of Cyttorak. Knowing of the ruby's enchantment, he had no intention of touching the Gem of Cyttorak, but only to observe and learn. Still, his presence alerted Xorak, the temple's guardian. At some point earlier in history, Cyttorak had been banished from Earth but created this being to safeguard his temple and destroy everyone who entered. He was no match for the Ancient One, though, who magically banished Xorak to the Crimson Cosmos within the gem.; In another century, a group of heretic monks tried to harness Cyttorak's power for themselves, but they failed and, instead, only called forth the most destructive aspect of this being of immense power. Sadly for the rebel monks, this entity murdered them all and the nearby villagers, and the threat would have continued to spread if not for two magicians. Despite being rivals, Gomurr the Impetuous and Tar the Initiate of the Ebon Vein worked together and were successful in forcing the entity into his own totem, the magical Gem of Cyttorak. Thus, it now had a dual nature: it served as a prison for Cyttorak, but likewise it would transform a human into his Exemplar. Neither one of the rival magicians trusted the other enough to guard the ruby, fearing they might succumb to the lure of phenomenal power, so they placed the Gem of Cyttorak once more in the temple and sealed its entrance under a mountain of rocks.; ===Modern Age===; As already described above, during their time in Korea, Cain Marko and Charles Xavier stumbled upon the ruins of the temple. Apparently, the entrance to the cave had been reopened by the explosions and bombings, right in time for the two stepbrothers to happen upon it. Reading the hieroglyphics on the wall, Xavier recognized the warnings of the gem's enchantment, but Cain would not listen to his hated stepbrother. Instead, he picked up the jewel, instantly transforming himself with the curse of Cyttorak. As the transformation occurred, the already unstable temple began to collapse, due to the seismic events transpiring without. The Communists that were searching for the two lost soldier-brothers had caught up with them and were shelling their would-be hiding place. Xavier escaped the collapsing building in time and walked away, wondering whether his brother had managed to escape as well. But Cain Marko had not - he was trapped beneath tones of solid rock. Still, that was not enough to stop the unstoppable Juggernaut. Though he needed about ten years, he eventually dug himself out, while the Gem remained in the ruins. A Theory is that the temple's destruction delayed the initial spell of the eight magical beings and, therefore, the other seven totems were not activated to summon a human host for themselves.; While attempting to use a special machine to purge his stepbrother of the Juggernaut powers, Charles Xavier was hit by an energy feedback and rendered comatose. While the Juggernaut escaped with some of Xavier's mental power, the X-Men asked Dr. Strange for help, who told them that they needed the prototype gem. In order to get that artifact, he spirited Cyclops and Marvel Girl to Korea, where they cleared the cave entrance of the debris and then ventured inside the temple. Mesmerized by the Gem of Cyttorak's beauty, Jean almost touched it, but her lover stopped her in time. The couple chanted an incantation of Dr. Strange's, taking them inside the Crimson Cosmos, from which they successfully retrieved the prototype gem. Rejoining their comrades, the X-Men used this second gem to cure Xavier and defeat the Juggernaut. When he saw the similar-looking gem, he wanted it for himself, but when he touched it, he and the prototype gem were both sucked into the Crimson Cosmos. It took him quite some time and several unsuccessful attempts before he could fully return.; Back on Earth, Cain Marko formed a close partnership with Black Tom Cassidy and they would often battle their opponents together over the following years. Shortly before Black Tom's birthday, the Juggernaut had an idea for what would make for a rather unique birthday present, and he went to Korea to retrieve the Gem that gave him his powers. He entered the temple with ease and got what he came for, the Korean army standing in his way failing to slow him down. When Tom opened the gift and touched the glowing gem, he was transformed into another Juggernaut. However, both of them had only half of the original's powers. Black Tom didn't like this one bit and engaged his ally in a brief battle, which was then interrupted by Spider-Man and the X-Men. Rogue leeched off Cassidy's Juggernaut powers and, later, Cain Marko reclaimed the full set when he touched the ruby a second time. Realizing that the ruby was not only the source of his strength but could also be used to take it away from him, the Juggernaut decided to hurl it into space, where nobody could use it.; However, fate had something different in store for the magical artifact. Following her master, Galactus, to Earth's orbit, Nova accidentally bumped into the Gem of Cyttorak and sent it back to the planet, where it was found by a boy named Stevie, who picked it up, though was not transformed. Instead, Stevie could use the gem in unimaginable ways, from animating wax statues to sending a communication signal halfway around the continent. He even managed to release concussive force blasts that held the Juggernaut at bay. One theory is that the enchanted ruby was somehow changed during its stay in open space, or by being hit by the cosmically empowered Nova. Yet another idea might be that the Gem was never meant to transform more than one human, as it would not make any sense to have more than one Exemplar of the same deity. Who then would lead the army in the Wager of Octessence? The sole reason for why Black Tom was transformed might be that Cain Marko was willing to share his power with him. It was, after all, a birthday present.; It is unknown what really became of Stevie but, apparently, Cain Marko encountered the child a second time and successfully reclaimed his power source, as it somehow became infused to his body. Whatever the case, the Juggernaut soon found yet another ruby he wanted to claim for himself. When Dr. Strange and Nova found themselves trapped in the Crimson Cosmos by a manifestation of Cyttorak, the magician summoned Cain Marko to help them. Cyttorak seemed to be an elf-like figure, who wore a pointed helmet-like hat with a ruby grafted onto it. Thinking that this new stone would increase his own abilities, the Juggernaut battled his benefactor and ripped the stone out. Strangely, though, he felt no difference, and when the two heroes teamed up against him, they made him drop the glowing jewel and it returned to its rightful place. The status of this gem is debatable. Later stories revealed that this was not Cyttorak in his natural looks, but a physical, half-human looking disguise of him. That might point to the ruby on his forehead (something the true Cyttorak form doesn't display) having no meaning at all other than being an ornamental. It could also be the prototype gem from before.; The Gem didn't show up again until Cain Marko was captured by Onslaught and the near-omnipotent entity ripped the Gem from the chest of the magical Juggernaut. The shock of Marko was not that he could be defeated, but that any being on the planet could rip the infused Gem from his body. Even worse, Onslaught imprisoned Marko in the Crimson Cosmos inside the Gem of Cyttorak and, continuing his charade of being the still harmless Professor Xavier, he used the Gem of Cyttorak as a paperweight.; Not much later, Stephen Strange sensed the abandoned Gem and, in his astral form, traveled to the desk of Charles Xavier to examine the magical item. Using his magical senses, Strange recalled the events that transpired and realized that Cain was trapped in the Gem. However, before he could act, Gomurr and Tar both ventured to the Crimson Cosmos and empowered Cain, allowing him to defeat Cyttorak, and they all returned to Earth, the Gem again being bonded to the Juggernaut.; Many months later, charlatans tried to steal the Juggernaut's power by using a fake gem, with the resemblance of the Gem of Cyttorak. Never having been the brightest one, Cain was easily tricked into believing the new gem could double his powers. Actually, once he arrived at the place of the strange cult, they drained his powers away from him. The Juggernaut was severely weakened, if not dying, and if not for three of the X-Men stealing the fake gem and handing it to Black Tom, he might have died.; Over a decade after Cain Marko had become the Juggernaut, finally the Wager of the Octessence was triggered when one of the other seven totems transformed an unsuspecting human into an Exemplar. Now the trigger spell worked and, one by one, each of the ancient totems called out to a nearby human until each of the eight magical entities had its representative. The Exemplars met on the North Pole, where they started building a God Machine that would have removed the will power from all humans across the globe to make them loyal servants of the eight armies. However, having had years to adjust to the transformation, the Juggernaut's will was not as overwhelmed by the entity he represented, enabling him to fight back and to stop the Ceremony of the Octessence from occurring.; For his betrayal, the other Exemplars wanted to punish the Juggernaut, but the Avengers intervened. At first hopelessly outmatched, the heroes managed to get through to some of the newly-born villains and, disagreeing with each other, the Exemplars let go of their plan and departed.; When the Hulk attacked Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters to punish Charles Xavier for his role in the Illuminati, Cain Marko used the gem to contact Cyttorak, who opened a portal to a crimson path allowing him to travel instantly from Excalibur's headquarters in London to Xavier's School and join the fight on the X-Men's side. ============================================================ Crimson Dynamo Armor Mark VI Kind: item Page: Crimson Dynamo Armor Mark VI Formal name: Crimson Dynamo Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Hulk Vol 2 1 Created by: Jeph Loeb; Ed McGuinness Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Bucky Barnes Previous owners: Boris Vadim; Dimitri Bukharin Model: 6 Properties: The full capabilities of this armor are unknown; however, it seemed to possess the standard composition and power of previous Vanko-based models as well as designs from the Tinkerer.; Superhuman Strength: The armor granted its user superhuman strength, allowing Bukharin to hurt Iron Man in his Stealth Armor.; Superhuman Durability: The armor affords its user great protection from most forms of attack. The armor was built from a Carbonadium matrix alloy.; Flight: The armor allows its user to fly.; Energy Projection: The armor is capable of shooting powerful energy blasts from its gauntlets. The armor possesses several hidden energy weapons powerful enough to hurt a god like Perun.; External Tech Compatibility: The armor was compatible with the Iron Monger Armor MK III add-ons. History: Worn by Boris Vadim as part of the Winter Guard members against the Skrull invasion of Russia. While initially hesitant to accept James Rhodes' assistance, the Dynamo later reasoned that without his help Russia's nuclear arsenal would be compromised by the Skrulls. Vadim was killed in battle against Igor Drenkov and this armor was not used by his successor.; This armor was subsequently adopted by Dimitri Bukharin when he returned to the mantle of Crimson Dynamo and rejoined the Winter Guard. During Doctor Doom's temporary conquest of the entire Earth, the suit was briefly hijacked by the Winter Soldier when he and the Black Widow came into conflict with the Winter Guard and ambushed one of their safe houses. When the Winter Soldier and Black Widow joined forces with Iron Man to fight the Iron Monger, the villain used magic to melt the armor off Bucky. ============================================================ Crimson Bands of Cyttorak Kind: item Page: Crimson Bands of Cyttorak Formal name: Crimson Bands of Cyttorak Other aliases: Crimson Bands; Crimson Bands of Cyttorrak Type: Spell First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 125 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Cyttorak Place of creation: Crimson Cosmos Current owner: Doctor Strange; Kushala; Magik; Dormammu; Master Khan; Umar the Unrelenting; Scarlet Witch; Modred the Mystic; Morgan Le Fay; Doctor Doom; Xander the Merciless; Clea; Juggernaut (Cain Marko) Alternate owners: Masters of the Mystic Arts (Earth-199999); Wanda Maximoff (Earth-8591) Properties: The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak can encase the victim in many red bands that are virtually indestructible.; Another property exhibited by a corporeal form of the Crimson Bands that didn't dissipate is the ability to transform those covered with them into the Juggernaut, the avatar of Cyttorak, however, this has only been shown with Cain Marko, who had become the Juggernaut prior through the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, whether this extends to people with no prior use of the Gem is unknown.; Black Knight's Ebony Blade and Magik's Soulsword could sever the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, though Valkyrie's sword Dragonfang was unable to. History: Doctor Strange commonly uses the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak to bind his foes such as D'Spayre, Juggernaut, and even the Hulk. Other sorcerers are also capable of wielding the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak including Dormammu, Master Khan, Umar the Unrelenting, the Scarlet Witch, Modred the Mystic, Morgan Le Fay, Doctor Doom, Xander the Merciless, and Clea.; An unknown man spent decades trying to maintain the Crimson Bands' cohesion in the earthly plane in hopes of becoming Cyttorak's avatar himself and stored them in the Forge of Cyttorak, where he worked as a forger. Cain Marko, who sought to become Cyttorak's host once more, went to the forge and tried to convince the forger of giving him the Bands, but he refused and he attacked Marko with his hammer. However, the forger accidentally broke the chain holding the Bands which fell on Marko, bonding him with the spell and forming a suit of armor that he could now manifest at will. ============================================================ Crimson Dynamo Armor (Earth-904913) Kind: item Page: Crimson Dynamo Armor (Earth-904913) Formal name: Crimson Dynamo Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 1 6 Created by: Stéphane Juffé; Brandon Auman Reality: Earth-904913 Origin: Created to withstand any blow or impact.

Due to intervention of Iron Man and Vanko's family, he stopped his rampage and went to the hospital for proper medical treatment while the armor was taken away for storage. ============================================================ Crossing Ring (Earth-3515) Kind: item Page: Crossing Ring Formal name: Crossing Ring Type: Ring First appearance: Thor Vol 2 68 Created by: Dan Jurgens; Scot Eaton Reality: Earth-3515 Origin: Asgardian; Magical Lead designer: Loki Place of creation: New Asgard History: The Crossing Ring is a series of magical Asgardian rings, given to hundreds of Asgardians, through which instant contact with Loki can be made in case transport or reinforcements are needed. ============================================================ Cosmotronic Cannon Kind: item Page: Cosmotronic Cannon Formal name: Cosmotronic Cannon Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Thor Vol 1 261 Created by: Len Wein; Walt Simonson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Place of creation: Deo Previous owners: Deonists History: The Cosmotronic Cannon was a weapon created by the Soul-Survivors from the planet known as the Doomsday Star. It was a massive weapon consisting of a long tube that was over a dozen feet wide and mounted on a rectangular wheeled platform that had at least six pairs of wheels.; When a group of Asgardians came to the Doomsday Star, the Soul-Survivors thought that they seemed to be targets worthy of worship but had to test them to make sure. Once the Asgardians had proven themselves to be all they could have been expected to be, the Soul-Survivors realized that their Techno-Trackers alone would be unable to overcome them so they had to resort to using the Cosmotronic Cannon even though, as one of them mentioned, its unchecked power could tear their world asunder.; When fired at the Asgardians, the Cosmotronic Cannon caused the ground for countless miles in every direction to tremble, and the city's towering buildings began to shudder and sway until they fissured apart and fell. The resulting avalanche of rubble plummeted downward to the city's depths, taking Fandral, Volstagg, and the Recorder with it to their apparent deaths.; With their number halved, the remaining Asgardians were overcome by other, lesser weapons. ============================================================ Cosmic Cannon Kind: item Page: Cosmic Cannon Formal name: Cosmic Cannon Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Thor Vol 1 425 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Previous owners: Heimdall History: The Cosmic Cannon was said to be the mightiest weapon in Asgard.

Whelan’s initial wonder and amazement gradually matured to doubt and even fear, as he pondered the possible horrific potential of Connors’ discoveries.; Soon enough, Whelan’s fears came to life in the form of the Lizard – and Whelan took it upon himself to find a cure to save his friend. Sequestered in his office for days, Whelan didn’t sleep for more than ninety hours, choosing not to rest until he had produced what he believed to be an antidote (which itself included the DNA of the only human around – himself). Wanting to know for sure that the antidote was safe to organic beings, Whelan injected it into a lab rat – then collapsed in his office out of sheer exhaustion. Sadly, pure mental fatigue caused Whelan’s calculations and measurements to be off – way off.; As Whelan slept the deepest sleep of his life, the injected lab rat began to grow in size. Within an hour, it was the size of a human, even adopting a newly instinctive bipedal mode of locomotion. And it was hungry. Nearby, the humanoid rat took a bite out of the closest food available – Edward Whelan.; “OWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!” screamed Whelan, now very much awake and in great pain. “You Vermin!” The ruckus summoned Oscorp security, who subdued the beast and quarantined it.; It was in the hospital, as his body began to change, that Whelan realized his greatest error. Fur surfaced from his pours. Claws emerged from his fingers. He was becoming a rat-like monstrosity himself. As his brain faded to mush, shortly before his instincts led him to a new home in the sewers, he recognized his mistake: “I didn’t create an antidote... I created a virus...”; ===Outbreak===; With Connors committed to an insane asylum for his actions as the Lizard, Alistaire Smythe took over his spot at Oscorp and immediately set out to destroy the remaining cross-species experiments and all evidence of them. However, when Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker snuck in after hours to investigate, several cross-species mutations escaped into the city, where they began spreading their virus, which turned those infected into mindless creatures.; Spider-Man soon came to break Connors out of the asylum, knowing he was the only one who could develop a cure. Connors agreed to work on a cure, on the condition that he be taken back to the asylum after all was said and done. Peter delivered him to his current apartment, where Connors quickly began working on a cure.; Connors sent Peter after a giant rat cross-species for a DNA sample, which he used to study.; Connors' first attempt at a cure went horribly wrong, and ended up crippling Alistaire Smythe and driving him to insanity. Alistaire had sent a very large, snake-like S-Bot after Spider-Man as revenge, and after a very long, brutal battle, Spider-Man emerged victorious, but severely wounded. Peter returned to the apartment, concerned that the Lizard persona may be taking over Connors, and went into a rage, before passing out from his wounds. Connors soon realized that Peter, despite multiple contacts with the cross-species creatures, was never infected, and therefore, a small sample of his blood was all that was needed to perfect the cure.; The new, perfected cure was used to cure multiple scientists, including Gwen Stacy. Alistaire Smythe, however, refused to take the cure, claiming his nanobot cure would be what would save New York. In actuality, Smythe's nanobot cure was a poison, which would slowly and painfully kill its host.; Smythe, at some point, realized Peter Parker's identity as Spider-Man, and used this knowledge to kidnap Connors, while also sending a newly developed "Spider-Slayer" after Parker. The Spider-Slayer was defeated, and Peter went to save Connors. Peter successfully saved Connors from Smythe, but ended up being captured himself.; Connors ended up back in his makeshift lab in the sewers, in hiding as New York had been consumed by the outbreak and was now in total chaos. Peter eventually made his way to the lab, revealing that, while captured, Smythe had injected him with the nanobot virus, which stripped him of his powers and was slowly killing him. Realizing there was no other way, Connors was forced to become The Lizard once more, in a vain attempt to save the city.; While fighting Smythe head-on, a still powerless Spider-Man arrived. A small, electrical S-Bot attacked Peter, and the electricity destroyed the nanobots in him, quickly restoring his powers. Connors helped Peter defeat Smythe once and for all, before finally succumbing to the reptilian side once more, escaping into the sewers and making his way back to the lab. Peter gave chase, and eventually came to Gwen, who had rewired an S-Bot to recognize Peter as an ally. Peter used this S-Bot to track The Lizard through the sewers, now armed with the cure. The Lizard attacked, destroying the S-Bot and causing the cure to be lost in the rubble. Peter repeatedly webbed The Lizard to a wall in an attempt to search the rubble for the cure.; Once he had finally found it, The Lizard made another attempt to escape. Peter came to a dead end, before The Lizard appeared through metal bars and dragged him into another room. After a lengthy battle, Peter subdued The Lizard and gave Connors the cure, subsequently using said cure to end the outbreak.; Some time later, Black Cat underwent surgery with the virus to acquire cat-based mutations. Unlike most, she remained stable, much like Peter. ============================================================ Cosmic Ray Intensifier Kind: item Page: Cosmic Ray Intensifier Formal name: Cosmic Ray Intensifier Other aliases: Intensifier Type: Technology First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 15 Created by: Archie Goodwin; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Anthony Stark Place of creation: New York City, New York Place of destruction: Africa Current owner: Red Ghost History: The Cosmic Ray Intensifier could duplicate the effects of cosmic rays before they're diffused by the atmosphere, in order to concentrate them into beam form, making it quite valuable in space research.

His belt was damaged and the ring fell during the fight.; ===Freedom Ring===; The Cosmic Ring allowed Curtis Doyle to warp reality within a 15 feet (4.6m) around him, giving him a 30-foot sphere of reality he could alter. Curtis was able to use the ring to create various objects such as ice cream and his costume, change his appearance, allow him to fly, grant himself superhuman strength and durability, and use the ring's power to counter his paralysis in order to allow him to walk.; ===Crusader===; Crusader later took Curtis Doyle's ring to honor his dead friend. ============================================================ Crown of Hathor Kind: item Page: Crown of Hathor Formal name: Crown of Hathor Type: Crown First appearance: Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 95 Created by: David Kraft; Alan Kupperberg Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Ennead Place of creation: Egypt History: The Crown of Hathor was a mystical object that was created in ancient Egypt.

Enthralled into becoming the "Bride of Nephrus", Alicia Masters fled to Egypt with Hassan to recover the gem. When the Gem was located they were confronted by Alicia's boyfriend the Thing and Living Mummy, the ancient foe of Nephrus. Alicia was successful in locating the Spirit Gem and passing it to Gemal who was not only endowed with its great power, but also possessed him by the spirit of Nephrus. During the ensuing battle, the Thing's ally Lillian Templethorp was able to free Alicia from the control of Nephrus. Alicia then used the power of the Crown of Hathor to blast the Spirit Gem free from Nephrus/Gemal. When the Thing later crushed the Spirit Gem, it caused Gemal/Nephrus to crumble into dust. Presumably the Crown was returned to the museum, where it is likely still held to this day. ============================================================ Cosmic-Beam Gun Kind: item Page: Cosmic-Beam Gun Formal name: Cosmic-Beam Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 23 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Doom Current owner: Dr. Doom Previous owners: Bull Brogin History: Dr. Doom developed this gun to leave the Thing powerless - as an impact from it would change him back to his human form, temporarily.

Anyone who wields it allegedly becomes one of the most powerful beings on Earth. The ceremony to wield the Crimson Brand of Cyttorak requires an individual to spill the blood of the person they love the most. After murdering said person and touching the altar, the Crimson Band is transferred to their hand. Notes: According to Misty Beck, this sigil is actually called "some long name in Latin."

He thus recruited thief master Black Fox to guide his Super-Apes in a heist. This caused them to conflict with Spider-Man, who questioned the Fox, then tracked the Apes to the Red Ghost's lair. Once there, Spider-Man tricked the strongest Super-Ape, Miklho, to punch the Cosmicizer, destroying it to the Ghost's chagrin. The Ghost angrily forfeited his lair, not having retaken the Cosmicizer project afterwards.; As the Cosmicizer was never finished, it is unclear whether it would really increment cosmic ray-induced powers as intended. ============================================================ Crown of Tentacles Kind: item Page: Crown of Tentacles Formal name: Crown of Tentacles Other aliases: Crown of Thorns; Serpent Crown Type: Crown First appearance: Secret Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Ed Brubaker; Mike Deodato Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Evil alien crown that can tap into the power of the cosmic Dark Children Lead designer: Martians touched by the Abyss Place of creation: Mars Previous owners: Martians; Roxxon; Secret Avengers; Shadow Council; Max Fury; Taskmaster Notes: This crown was called a Serpent Crown in Secret Avengers Vol 1 1, a "Crown of Tentacles" in Secret Avengers Vol 1 2, and then the Crown of Thorns as of Secret Avengers Vol 1 29. History: The Crown of Tentacles was part of a set of three crowns created by the Martians who had been touched by the Abyss to channel the power of his Dark Children. Under the influence of the crowns, these Martians tried to break their own world apart to awaken the Darkest Child, who would in turn awaken his brothers to free their nameless father from his prison. However, their plan was thwarted by the Archons, a race of constructs created by the Watchers to guard the Abyss and wait for his eventual return. The nearly destroyed planet was eventually abandoned, with the only Archon who managed to survive the ordeal remaining behind to guard the crowns.; A millennia later, a subversive organization allied with the Dark Children (presumably for power) called the Shadow Council allowed Roxxon to dig up in Mars in the hopes that they could find the three crowns for them. When Roxxon found the Crown of Tentacles, however, they turned against their backers and took the crown for themselves. Word of Roxxon having a Serpent Crown eventually got out, catching the attention of the Secret Avengers, a strike team assembled by Steve Rogers. Transferred to a Roxxon facility in Dubai, the Crown of Tentacles was stolen by the Secret Avengers before the Shadow Council had the chance to do so themselves. The Shadow Council later took advantage of the Secret Avengers going to Mars to investigate the Roxxon drilling facility to steal the Crown of Tentacles from them.; Once in possession of all three crowns, Shadow Council leader Max Fury merged them together and donned the merged crown to become the Abyss' vessel, but that didn't work as he was a Life Model Decoy. The merged crown was then donned by a wounded Taskmaster, who had been shot by Max Fury after delivering him the Crown of Wolves. The possessed Taskmaster proceeded to take control of the minds of the new Masters of Evil, who were assembled by Fury to serve as an army for the dark entity, and the Secret Avengers, who tried in vain to prevent Fury from acquiring the three crowns. The Secret Avengers Agent Venom and Ant-Man, who weren't affected by the Abyss' influence due to one being a symbiote host and the other secretly a Life-Model Decoy, fought against the Abyss as he tried to spread his influence beyond Bagalia and managed to severe his connection to Earth by bonding the Venom symbiote to Taskmaster and unmerging the three crowns. The crowns were then confiscated by the Secret Avengers, who tucked them away, separated in remote vaults across the Microverse. ============================================================ Crimson Cosmos Armor Kind: item Page: Crimson Cosmos Armor Formal name: Crimson Cosmos Armor Type: Magical Armor First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 12 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby; Alex Toth Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Cyttorak Current owner: Kid Juggernaut Previous owners: Colossus; Jin Taiko; Juggernaut; Spider-Man Alternate owners: J2; Joanna Cargill History: As the Juggernaut Cain Marko wore a suit of armor made from a mystic metal from the Crimson Cosmos that he could summon at will that armor around his body.

The both of whom sent out an irrefutable offer to anyone who wanted it in exchange for an exodus and the financing of their research. ============================================================ Crown of En-Der-Arr Kind: item Page: Crown of En-Der-Arr Formal name: Crown of En-Der-Arr Type: Crown First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 8 7 Created by: Derek Landy; Ivan Fiorelli Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magic Current owner: Dr. Strange Previous owners: Amora the Enchantress, En-Der-Arr ============================================================ Darkhold Kind: item Page: Darkhold Formal name: Darkhold Other aliases: Chthon Scrolls; Chthon's Scrolls; Chthon's parchment; Chthonic Scroll; Darkhold scrolls; Chthon's Dark Reflection; Book of Chthon; The Bible of Black Magic; Chthon's long-lost scrolls; Scrolls of Chthon; Book of Darkhold; ----; Partial and complete copies: The Book of Sins; Shiatra Book of the Damned; Libro del Malditos ("Book of the Damned", presumably partial copy); Scroll of Chthon; ----; Imitations: Necronomicon Type: Unique Magical Book First appearance: Marvel Spotlight Vol 1 4 Created by: Gerry Conway; Mike Ploog Reality: Earth-616; | LeadDesigner Chthon Origin: Magical; Demonic; Vampire; Spells of Chthon originally wrote down on indestructible scrolls, later collected into the Darkhold by Morgane le Fay, and into the Book of Sins by Paolo Montesi; Cornerstone of Creation; allegedly imperfect copies of the ancient writings etched on the walls of R'llyeh by ancient beings Additional designers: Morgan Le Fay (compilation into the Darkhold); Paolo Montesi (compilation into the Book of Sins) Place of creation: Earth Place of destruction: Earth-199999 Current owner: Darkholders; Wanda Maximoff (True Darkhold) Previous owners: Chthon; Thulsa Doom; Zula; Morgan Le Fay; Gregor Russoff; Doctor Strange; Taboo Doctor Voodoo; Elder Monks of Lewoc; Urthona Alternate owners: Artificially Intelligent Digital Assistant (Earth-199999); Roberto Reyes (Earth-199999); Morgan Le Fay (Earth-199999); Wanda Maximoff (Earth-199999); Agatha Harkness (Earth-199999); Stephen Strange (Earth-199999); Stephen Strange (Earth-838); Margaret Carter (Earth-838) Stephen Strange (Earth-TRN954) Notes: The Darkhold has at least two possible antithesises:; The Book of the Vishanti, or Book of Life, in which Agamotto recorded the three forms of white magic was possibly created as a counterpart to the Darkhold. Karl Mordo (Earth-838) mentioned it as the Darkhold's antithesis.; The Brighthold, the key to all white magic, written by "the twin fingers of the Demiurge". Trivia: In Carnage Vol 2, the Darkhold is written in the eldritch language from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, and paraphrases the chant from Call of Cthulhu. History: ===Ancient History===; Billions of years ago, the evil Elder God known as Chthon was forced to flee Earth from Demogorge, the God-Eater. But before doing so, he wrote all his evil works and spells onto indestructible parchments of flesh,Verify source at the Darque Hold, a chamber among the caverns inside the mountain known in the Modern Age as Wundagore.; Chthon left these scrolls on Earth so that they might always serve as a conduit to the Earth-Realm for Chthon's evil influence and evil power, with the purpose of opening a doorway from Earth to Chthon's dimension. The scrolls were transcribed, first to stone and later to a collection of parchments often referred to as the Chthon Scrolls.; Alternatively, the Logomancer theorized that the Darkhold, the Necronomicon, the Oracles of Zoroaster, and other mystic scrolls and books were in fact simply a collection of imperfect copies of the ancient writings etched on the walls of R'llyeh by ancient and hideous "things," the Great Old Ones, among which Chthon was allegedly the greatest, despite generally being recognized as an Elder God.; ===Pre-Cataclysmic Age===; Humans first found the Darkhold during the Pre-Cataclysmic Era, when the lands of Atlantis and Lemuria were still above the waves. When the warrior Kull slew the dark sorcerer Thulsa Doom, Doom's followers, "The Darkholders," utilized a spell contained in the Darkhold to create the first vampire, Varnae. Varnae had been mortally wounded in battle with Kull. Varnae consumed one of the Darkholders who attempted to command him, and began creating other vampires. Some surviving Darkholders managed to make off with the Darkhold before Atlantis sank. Sources place the rise of Kull and the fall of Thulsa Doom circa 18,500 BC.; When Atlantis sank, Varnae went into hibernation and did not revive until circa 10,000 BC.; ===Hyborian Age===; During the Hyborian Age, Varnae found that some parchments of the Darkhold had been left behind in the Flaming Mountains of Khorasha, and he attempted to recover them. In an altercation with Conan, Red Sonja, and the sorcerer Zula, Varnae controlled the bat-like humanoids the Afterlings. Zula used the Darkhold against Varnae casting an incomplete incantation that shocked him. Zula apologized, explaining the spell as written was incomplete: "I'm sorry the incantation ended where it did--and only hurt Lord Varnae, rather than destroying him." The spell appeared to Zula in Stygian - Shemek Iref Wenek Tjhen Inek It-Ek Chthon Djedeni Emm-Maat Wenen Taeei Hemet Ankh-Ek Isheset Antioo Djedte Nes Sep Iree NEn Renek Anhkhu Wi-Im Valka!; Zula also used the Darkhold against the Set-worshipping sorcerer Thugra Khotan. Later Red Sonja and Zula travelled to Zamboula, a the western city of the Turanian empire. Totrasmek, a priest of Hanuman, who had been searching for the scrolls for years, came into possession of the Darkhold. Zula recovered the Darkhold and the scrolls, however, and used them to transport himself and Sonja away. Zula noted that the scrolls disappeared as a result of using the spell.; Historians in the Vatican would note that at some point during the Hyborian Age, the Chthon scrolls were taken East,Verify source taken during the two following millenniums into what would become Tibet.; ===Antiquity===; A pre-Babylonian tomb was carved with hieroglyphic depictions of the Darkhold source.; The scrolls (apart from the one with the vampire-destroying spell) passed to the likes of Babylonian savants, Egyptian priests, and Hebrew scholars.; ===Middle Ages===; At some point, Mephisto imprisoned a demon called Darklove into a page of the Darkhold.; ====6th century====; In circa 500 A.D., or in the 6th century AD, Morgan Le Fay bound the scrolls into book form for the first time as "The Darkhold." It also came to be called "The Shiatra Book Of The Damned," and also "The Book Of Sins." Morgan and the Darkholders attempted to use the Darkhold to summon Chthon to do their bidding, but he proved much too powerful for them. Though she was unable to send him back to his realm, Morgan did manage to imprison Chthon's spirit beneath Mount Wundagore. Morgan's lover Magnus, having witnessed true evil, betrayed Morgan and stole the Darkhold, sealing it within the Tower of Darkhold on the Isle of Wight. Magnus then so enchanted the Tower that no one with evil intentions might enter it.; During the time of King Arthur, a well-meaning mystic named Modred entered the Tower seeking to use the Darkhold as a force for good. The Other, Chthon's avatar on Earth, spoke out to Modred and demanded that he sacrifice his soul in exchange for the power he sought. Modred initially resisted, believing that doing so would be the only way to attain the Darkhold's powers, but relented when The Other began to attack his bride-to-be Janice. Having sacrificed his very soul, Modred was placed into a centuries-long deathlike slumber. Saint Brendan was dispatched by the Church to fight against the evil inadvertently unleashed from the Darkhold. He would later scatter the Darkhold's pages throughout Earth.; ====Variations and copies====; The scrolls also inspired other black magic tomes, such as the legendary Necronomicon, a powerful black magic tome patterned after the Darkhold, created by Abdul Alhazred during the 8th century.; At some point, the Elder Monks of Lewoc transcribed a mutated variation of the Darkhold].; ====12th century====; In 1149, a heretical monk named Aelfric had recollected the pages of the Darkhold. The monk was burned at the stake, and the Darkhold with him. However, the Darkhold reformed itself, and was purchased by a trader, who was then murdered.; In 1150, Paolo Montesi of the Catholic Church bound many of the Chthon Scrolls into "The Book Of Sins." His is the family whose heirs rediscovered the spell in the Darkhold by which vampires might be destroyed, and the said spell is named "The Montesi Formula" in their honor.; ===17th century===; By the 1600s, the Vatican came to possess the Darkhold. Vladislav III Dracula, by then a vampire and indeed the ruler of Earth's vampires, dispatched a thief to acquire it for him, but Cagliostro slew the thief and took it for himself. At some point, the vampire Lord Ruthven might have possessed the Darkhold.Verify source; ===Modern Age===; ====20th century====; In the 1920s, the pre-Babylonian tomb was discovered by archaeologists who were rendered insane by their attempt to translate the hieroglyphs depicting the Darkhold source.; Before late 1930, Gregor Russoff acquired the Darkhold. He would later copy much of its content into the journal of his ancestor, and used it as a journal for himself. Accounts vary as to how he came to possess it. Two accounts say that he purchased the tome, but other accounts say that he took it from the sorcerer Taboo. In any event, when he read of the origin of lycanthropy in the Darkhold, Gregor himself contracted lycanthropy. Gregor, whose ancestor Grigori had also been a werewolf, would later pass the curse on to others in his family: his son Jack Russell, and his granddaughter, Nina Price. During this time, Dracula shadowed Russoff.; Taboo, the sorcerer, claims to have found the Darkhold in an old Balkan castle. He apparently did so no later than 1958.; Possibly circa 1958, Gregor Russoff attempted to raise Chthon hoping he could cure him of lycanthropy. Chthon struck out at Russoff, seeming to strike him dead. The High Evolutionary and Magnus then managed to defeat Chthon. Russoff evidently survived somehow. Presumably, the revived Gregor Russoff recovered the Darkhold and somehow managed to hide his activities from the High Evolutionary and Magnus for some time. He was later slain by villagers no earlier than approximately 20 years ago.; Later, Russoff's son Jack also became a werewolf. Recovering the Darkhold from Miles Blackgar, he gave it to a Father Joquez to translate. Aelfric's ghost possessed Jacquez. At the end of this struggle, Russell erroneously thought that the Darkhold was destroyed. Later, Russoff travelled to Transylvanian with the Indian woman Topaz to visit Russoff Manor. There they found Gregor Russoff's diary. Dracula came to possess the diary and left it behind in a blizzard in the Alps, since the diary contained a copy of the Montesi Formula to destroy vampires. However, Morgan Le Fay later recovered the diary.; At some point Doctor Doom found a part of the Darkhold that allowed him to cast a spell to access Belasco's Limbo.; During the Rise of the Midnight Sons - when Lilith and her offspring, the Lilin, were again released into Earth - the Darkhold went missing from the Vatican. At that time, the Darkhold Dwarf began appearing to people around the world, giving them small black envelopes containing pages from the Darkhold and enticing them to use its forbidden spells to fulfill their wishes for power, immortality, riches, and revenge. Victoria Montesi - reluctant heir to to the Montesi responsibility of safeguarding the Darkhold, as well as the prophesied Montesi "incorruptibility" - began having visions as the pages were used. When she herself was attacked by the Darkholders, she resolved to hunt down the pages of the book with the help of Interpol agent Sam Buchanan and occultist Dr. Louise Hastings. These Darkhold Redeemers (as Lilith once called them) managed to collect a number of the pages before they eventually disbanded.; ====21st century====; The Darkholders took interest in Carnage, based on the prophecy in the Darkhold that says "When the Red Slayer spills blood on sacred stone, He Who Sleeps shall wake and what walked will walk once again." Cult member Barry Gleason orchestrated Cletus Kasady's meeting with them, and the Darkholders attempted to sacrifice Carnage to awaken Chthon. This resulted in Carnage instead being empowered by Chthon, stealing the cult's copy of the Darkhold, and attempting to use it to summon the Elder God. Carnage and Chthon were stopped by Victoria Montesi, Toxin, Man-Wolf, and Jubulile van Scotter; with Victoria taking the copy of the Darkhold to the Children of Midnight.; Baron Helmut Zemo used the Darkhold to enhance Blackout's powers to cover Manhattan in a shroud of Darkforce shadows.; To investigate the origin of a monsters invasion, Elsa Bloodstone cross-referenced the Daveroth Fragments with the Scrolls of Chthon, and the Le Fay Testimonies with the Darkhold.; ====The True Darkhold====; While there are copies of the Darkhold in existence, there is only one "true" Darkhold: the original Darkhold, made from the flesh of an Elder God. For eons, the true Darkhold was hidden until it was uncovered in Abysmia by Doctor Doom and Victorious. The reading of the true Darkhold awakened Chthon and opened a pathway between the Other-Realm and Earth.; Victorious and the Scarlet Witch gathered Iron Man, Blade, the Wasp, Black Bolt, and Spider-Man, and had them read the true Darkhold to temper them with madness in preparation for the Other-Realm. However, they read too much, got fully corrupted, and saw distorted versions of their lives. Wanda sent them to the Other-Realm anyway and later joined them alongside Doom. With the true Darkhold in hand, Wanda and Doom were able to defend against Chthon's true form. Realizing that the Darkhold had power over Chthon, Wanda fused herself with the true Darkhold, and as a result, she was able to absorb Chthon. With the Darkhold and Chthon's power inside her, Wanda reversed the corruption done to her comrades.; The sorceress Agatha Harkness decided to create a new Darkhold by taking control of several heroes through Chaos Magic. She took control of Wolverine, Storm, Human Torch, Taegukgi, White Fox, Venom and Cyclops after having them battle other heroes and went to the Bermuda Triangle to form the new Darkhold. Her plan was, however, sabotaged by the arrival of the Avengers, resulting in an explosion. This led to Harkness' copy of the Darkhold manifesting in the form of a young boy named Darkhold who slowly began amassing power.; ==Versions==; A few versions and copies exist:; The Libro del Malditos, or "Book of the Damned", was presumably a partial copy of the Darkhold.; The Darkhold mentioned the island in the Timor Sea, southeast of Java, with an altar guarded by the Daughters of Chthon.; Spells include:; Accessing Limbo; The origins of vampirism; The origins of lycanthropy; Conjuring Darkforce; Controlling the will of others; Summoning Chthon and other malevolent elder gods; Siphoning psionic energy to empower a target; "Enamorath! Emmoreth! Ba'al Set Elianath!" was often used to cast spells from the Darkhold.; "Rlim Shaikorth, Yondo, Nioth Kargai" was used for curing warts millenniums before medicine discovered their cause to be dermal infections from the human papilloma virus.; "Xiccarph Ansarth Chaon Gacca Zul-Bah-Sair Phariom Mordiggian Naat Yadar Obexah Mordiggiom", that would cast a blinding burst, while having the scroll of Chthon vanish.; Perhaps the most well known spell found in the Darkhold is the so-called Montesi Formula, a powerful incantation that can utterly destroy all vampires.; The Darkhold had a page known as the Demogorge Page that Chthon added in order to ensure that if a new Demogorge appeared it would be under his control, though he also added a counterspell that could only be casted by a non-magic user. Blade used the page to become the murderous Switchblade, but was returned to normal by Louise Hastings at the cost of part of her soul.; Chthon assured that the Darkhold is intelligible in any language, though Carnage had trouble deciphering it, even after he had possessed it for several weeks.; The Darkhold held a prophecy that told about the Werewolves becoming free of Khonshu's enslavement. This would involve the King of the Wolves using the Moon Knight and his offspring to kill the moon god.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; In this version the Darkhold not only gives information about spells, but also scientific data that had not been discovered before.; The existence of the Book of Sins was known for many years and it was sought out by many, including Johann Schmidt, Werner Reinhardt, and Nick Fury. It was eventually found by Lucy and Joseph Bauer who used it to create Quantum Batteries at Momentum Alternative Energy Laboratories. However, they were betrayed by Eli Morrow, who wanted the book for himself and beat Joseph into a coma while forcing Lucy and her co-workers into the Quantum Particle Generator, which caused them to become stuck between dimensions.; In her discorporate form, Lucy was now unable to read the Darkhold, whose text appeared to the user in their native language. The book was retrieved by S.H.I.E.L.D. and Holden Radcliffe took one look at it before closing it and warning that its knowledge was not meant for human minds. To rescue Phil Coulson and Leo Fitz from a hellish dimension, it was decided to let Radcliffe's Artificially Intelligent Digital Assistant read it.; However, both Radcliffe and Aida were still corrupted to evil by the Darkhold, which enabled Radcliffe to create fully-functional Life Model Decoys as well as upgrade the Framework to become a full virtual recreation of the real world, complete with self-conscious copies of the real people living in it. Aida then sought to use the Darkhold to replace her robotic body with a real human one, and enhanced it with Inhuman abilities. Though she achieved her goal, the Darkhold was later taken from her by the Ghost Rider, who after helping defeating Aida, departed into another dimension, intending to hide the book out of harm's way.; Despite Reyes's best efforts, however, the Darkhold later resurfaced in the hands of Morgan Le Fay after she escaped from the Dark Dimension. She combined it with her own magic to create the new "Corvus" WizPhone that would allow her to influence people and drain power from her followers. It was briefly stolen by Robert Minoru who managed to record a spell that could banish Morgan back to where she came from on his smart glasses and transmit it to his wife and daughter before Morgan killed him.; The ancient sorceress Agatha Harkness was in possession of the Darkhold as of 2023. She kept it in her bewitched basement in Westview, New Jersey during the time Wanda Maximoff possessed the town to play out her fantasy of living a happy family life, including imaginary children created out of magic. Harkness told Wanda Maximoff that there was an entire chapter of the Darkhold that had been dedicated to her, the prophesized Scarlet Witch.; After their faceoff and the destruction of the Hex Anomaly, Maximoff (now the Scarlet Witch), got possession of the Darkhold. She fled to a secluded cabin in an unknown location, where she studied the Darkhold to find alternate ways to be with her children.; Over the following months, Wanda, now corrupted to evil by the Darkhold, used its powers to possess alternate reality versions of herself (referred to as "dreamwalking") in a quest to find living versions of her children in other realities. During this saga, the Darkhold was destroyed by Sara. Wong later told Wanda that the Darkhold was merely a transcription of spells originally carved into Wundagore Mountain, by Chthon. Wanda allegedly destroyed all copies of the Darkhold throughout the Multiverse.; ; ===Earth-22145===; The Darkhold has the same effect of corrupting beings, but in this universe it is not only mentally but physically as if they were Fallen Angels converted to demons, which is the case of Lilith who was worshiped by the Hydra sect as a demonic deity before she was corrupted by the Darkhold, which was part of a prophecy handed down millennia ago. Even the way in which the corrupt energies of the Darkhold corrupt the physical form of any being depends many times on the species of the Fallen. For example, if in case of normal human beings, normally altering them with green eyes and the part of above the cracked face, Bruce Banner still retained part of his human form, yet his physical transformation into the Hulk gave him a more demonic appearance. Other beings like the mutants, the symbiotes or even races of divine ancestry like the Blood have a more demonic appearance, being the case of the already mentioned Lilith, the Scarlet Witch and Sabretooth, although the mutants and the Blood usually have scaly skin more similar to a demon. Lilith can also spread the Darkhold's corruption with only touching other beings as a kind of mind control.; No being corrupted by the Darkhold is capable of resisting its corruption by its own will and the dark energy that poisons the minds of beings is apparently impossible to purge, however there is a spell that can absorb the corruption emitted by the Darkhold, although one has to die in case it is a normal human. That spell was invented by a sorcerer from Ancient Egypt experimented with a pharaoh who was also corrupted by the dark magic of the Darkhold. People can also be uncorrupted by destroying the Darkhold itself, which happened with Lilith who returned to her human form. However, in case you do not reach the total corruption phase one can fight against the influence of the Darkhold and without being physically demonized, as is the case of the two Ghost Rider of modern times, Johnny Blaze and Robbie Reyes. ============================================================ Daredevil's Billy Club Kind: item Page: Daredevil's Billy Club Formal name: Daredevil's Billy Club Type: Batons First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 1 Created by: Stan Lee; Bill Everett Lead designer: Matt Murdock Additional designers: Ivan Petrovich, Phineas T.

Trivia: In the "Guardian Devil" story line, Bullseye used one of the Billy Clubs to kill Karen Page while fighting Daredevil.; When she became Daredevil, Elektra Natchios converted her twin sai into a weapon similar to Matt's Billy Clubs. The monouchi was turned into a blunt weapon that could split apart to release a grappling hook. History: Daredevil has been known to wield a multi-purpose weapon that has many different modes.; In his youth, Matt Murdock stole a nightstick from a police officer and hid it in a locker at Fogwell's Gym. Years later, he retrieved it and used it to rescue a group of children kidnapped by the Kingpin.; Its initial form is two billy clubs held together by an extendable wire cable. It can shift from a nunchaku-like weapon to a manrikigusari (a long rope/chain weapon with two weights on its ends), dual billy clubs which can be wielded in an Eskrima stick-like fashion, a staff, or a wire cable with a grappling hook. The weapon can also be adjusted to combine both sticks into an Eskrima stick. Most notably, the Billy Club can be disguised as a blind man's cane for use by Daredevil's alter ego Matt Murdock. The weapon is held by a holster on the side of Daredevil's suit on his left leg.; In early canon, the Billy Club had a retractable microphone, a miniature tape recorder, and a chamber for firing projectiles. The Billy Club has always been depicted with a wire cable which allows it to be used as a grappling hook and it can also be used as a baton.; It appears a police radio was installed into the Billy Club.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; In Earth-7642, one of Daredevil's Billy Clubs was blessed by , making it a powerful weapon against demons.; Magdalena/Daredevil Vol 1 1; In Earth-21798, Matt Murdock used a pair of baseball bats instead of Billy Clubs.; Heroes Reborn: American Knights Vol 1 1; In Earth-71986, a brainwashed Deadpool beat Daredevil to death with his own Billy Club.; Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again Vol 1 4; In Earth-199999, Daredevil's Billy Club is disguised as a walking cane which he uses while in his public persona.; Marvel's Daredevil Season 1 7; In Earth-TRN883, Daredevil's Billy Clubs could combine to form a bo staff.; Marvel Future Revolution; In Earth-TRN1446, Daredevil's Billy Clubs were connected with a chain rather than a wire. After being imbued with the power of The Beast, Matt could channel the energy into his clubs.; Marvel Rivals; In Earth-TRN1918, Daredevil's clubs resembled police batons. They were colored black, has knobs in the middle, and were disconnected.; Marvel Super Hero Mashers;; ============================================================ Cyclops' Visor Kind: item Page: Cyclops' Visor Formal name: Cyclops' Visor Other aliases: Combat Visor Type: Visor First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 1 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Charles Xavier Additional designers: Scott Summers Place of creation: Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters Current owner: Cyclops Material: Ruby-Quartz, cycolac plastic Model: Unique Version: Version 1: X-Men Vol 1 1 Version 2: Giant-Size X-Men Vol 1 1 Version 3: X-Factor Vol 1 1 Version 4: X-Men Vol 2 1 Version 5: Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 1 Notes: First Class Version: A grey plastic visor, similar to the version 5. Professor X mentioned that he had at least a dozen copies of the visor in case of damage to the one that Scott was wearing at the time. History: The visored mask Cyclops wears to prevent random discharge is lined with powdered ruby-quartz crystal. It incorporates two longitudinally mounted flat lenses which can lever inward providing a constantly variable exit slot of 0 inches to .79 inches in height and a constant width of 5.7 inches. The inverted clamshell mechanism is operated by a twin system of miniature electrical motors. As a safety factor there is a constant positive closing pressure provided by springs. The mask itself is made of high-impact cycolac plastic. There is an overriding finger-operated control mechanism on either side of the mask, and normal operation is through a flat micro-switch installed at the base of the thumb on each glove.; Cyclops has used at least five different versions of the visor, the first four were gold or bronze in color, and the fifth is black.; ==Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; Known as Version 5, this version of the visor is either black or dark gray.; Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 1; ==Other versions==; Image; Description; Issue; When Cyclops was possessed by a portion of the Phoenix Force during the conflict between the Avengers and the X-Men, his suit, including his visor were redesigned.; Avengers vs. X-Men Vol 1 5; After breaking out of prison during the Avengers vs. X-Men aftermath, Cyclops now sports a totally different attire with an X-shaped visor symbolizing the mutants and his planned revolution.; Uncanny X-Men Vol 3 2 ============================================================ Crystal of Kadavus Kind: item Page: Crystal of Kadavus Formal name: Crystal of Kadavus Type: Jewel First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 21 Created by: Len Wein; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Stange Previous owners: Xandu History: The Crystal of Kadavus is an enchanted crystal fashioned in the shape of a skull.

Lead designer: D'Spayre Additional designers: Dr. Simon Marshall Current owner: Dr. Simon Marshall Previous owners: D'Spayre Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: At least three of the drug's users developed powers related to the Darkforce and Lightforce: Tyrone Johnson became connected to the former, Tandy Bowen to the latter, and Mister Negative to both. History: ===Origin===; D-Lite was a drug created by the demon D'Spayre. It is described as, "a hybrid of heroin and crack." Dr. Simon Marshall experimented on runaway teenagers in hopes of improving the drug. Two of his subjects were Tyrone Johnson and Tandy Bowen. A side effect of the drug was the manifestation of their superhuman abilities as Cloak and Dagger.; Another of his subjects was a man who would go on to become Mister Negative.; D-Lite has a 'high' which is also described as "tenuous" with increasing use. D-lite has an added effect, for the designer. As the demon D'Spayre feeds off despair and suffering in humans, he literally feeds off the effects humans receive from D-Lite. He describes the feeling as "tasty", and in particularly young addicts as "far tastier than most". D'Spayre also gains strength from this.

Banner, while on his way with Rick with the de-activation codes for Cyclops, accidentally crashed his car, destroying the codes, injuring Rick and causing him to turn into the Hulk. The Hulk took Rick and headed towards Cyclops Mountain, where the computer was located. Meanwhile, Cyclops' defense systems were turned on by its creator, Dr. Kurt Donovan. The Hulk broke into Cyclops Mountain as a stray mouse interfered with Cyclops' circuits, causing a chain reaction. Cyclops became sentient and decided that machines were superior to mankind. Cyclops sealed off the mountain, trapping Donovan, Betty, Rick and the Hulk. Donovan agreed to help Cyclops, while the computer made its intentions to take control over all machines on Earth clear to General Ross. The Hulk calmed down and became Banner, while being observed by Cyclops, who decided to create a series of booby-traps to increase Banner's stress level again. The Hulk and Rick were subjected to more ordeals by Cyclops, who eventually used Gamma rays to turn the Hulk back into Banner. Banner then entered the Brain Room and had to deal with Cyclops by himself before the computer could rule the whole world. ============================================================ Crucible (Item) Kind: item Page: Crucible (Item) Formal name: Crucible Type: Artifact First appearance: Century: Distant Sons Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Abnett; Andy Lanning; Jim Calafiore Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Imogen Previous owners: Azimuth Model: Unique History: The Crucible is a mysterious artifact that belonged to Azimuth.

When Matt Murdock returned to New York he found Hell's Kitchen had fallen into a state of decay and disrepair. He met a young girl named Mickey hiding in the remains of Fogwell's Gym and befriended her. Around this time Wilson Fisk was assuming control of New York's underworld. He engaged in new criminal ventures like prostitution and child pornography. Fisk instructed his men to procure a child and they kidnapped Mickey. Donning a makeshift costume consisting of a black sweatshirt, sweatpants, a black bandana covering the top half of his face, and a police baton, Matt set out to rescue Mickey and the other children Fisk kidnapped.; Matthew Murdock (Earth-616) from Daredevil The Man Without Fear Vol 1 5.jpg; ===Yellow Suit===; Early in his career Daredevil wore a yellow and black body suit with a large red D on the chest.

The suit increased his strength, agility, and durability. By Fisk's own admission the suit did most of the moving for him: his muscles suggest a motion, then the suit takes over and follows through. The suit had compartments built into the thighs, which Fisk used to conceal a variation on Daredevil's Billy Club, and two pistols. The suit was equipped with surveillance and targeting systems, which identified targets and threats for Fisk, and even aimed his pistols for him. Small rockets were built into the suit's waist and boots, which allowed Fisk to gain altitude on his jumps. The suit was also bulletproof.; Daredevil 2099 Vol 1 1 Textless.jpg; ===Heroes Reborn (Earth-21798)===; On Earth-21798, cleric Matt Murdock wore a red suit with a snake emblem on his chest and belt symbolizing the form Mephisto once took.; Matthew Murdock (Earth-21798) from Heroes Reborn American Knights Vol 1 1 004.jpg; ===Daredevil film (Earth-701306)===; On Earth-701306, Matt Murdock wears a red leather suit with the double-D symbol on the left breastplate.; Matthew Murdock (Earth-701306) from Daredevil (film) Poster 0003.jpg; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; On Earth-199999, Matt Murdock made Melvin Potter create him a suit in exchange for protecting his lover Betsy Beatty.

Not long after N.A.T.O fired him he created the suit. The Cyclone Suit contained mechanisms that allow him to create high-velocity winds about himself.; After his death in the Bar with No Name, his suit was found, looted and briefly used by criminal Bert Packer.; Later, Gerard's work was streamlined and refined to create the Cyclone Suit worn by Pierre Fresson.; ==Properties==; The advanced Cyclone technology developed by Gerard for military use and later incorporated as concealed mechanisms in his synthetic stretch fabric suit allow Cyclone to mechanically produce high-speed winds, including tornado-strength gales. Cyclone could attack his enemies with blasts off wind powerful enough to cause a several-story building to collapse, lifting them in the air and slamming them on walls, or throwing debris at them, and he could also redirect air currents at whim to repel flying or gliding enemies, or murder a victim by increasing spin speed and draw all the air in the area so that his opponent cannot breath by creating a vacuum around that person. Cyclone could fly by generating a small twister from his waist down, then increasing and moving it; by using his powers like so, he can carry at least four people with him. Cyclone could not pinpoint individuals within the scope of his winds: Everyone and everything in a given place was affected in the same way (except for the vacuum attack), and Cyclone could not keep one person safe if he targeted another nearby person.; Although the specific limits of his technology are unclear, particularly the speed and strength of his winds, it was confirmed that his power affect a diameter of 60 meters, centering in himself, and that he could accelerate the local air volumes to at least 482 kilometers per hour. After Cyclone's resurrection, The Hood magically increased Cyclone's powers with several effects, one of them being that Cyclone could focus all his wind power in a needle-width point, allowing him to pierce almost anything. There was also talk about potential synergies of Cyclone's powers with those of his ally, fire- and heat-generating Firebrand, but those collaborations went unconfirmed.; The Cyclone suit apparently protected Gerard from the strength of his own winds and allowed him to breath within his tornadoes, but the means how this is achieved, as those of how the winds are generated exactly, have been unrevealed.; The suit was susceptible to malfunctioning, but Cyclone had the expertise to repair it on the fly, as long as he had access to the right supplies. ============================================================ Cybertek Worker Ants Kind: item Page: Cybertek Worker Ants Other aliases: Worker Ants Type: Robot First appearance: Deathlok Vol 1 3 Created by: Dwayne McDuffie; Gregory Wright; Denys Cowan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Harlan Ryker Additional designers: Cybertek Place of creation: Cybertek Systems, Paterson Previous owners: Cybertek Material: Adamantek Dimensions: 38' long Weight: 12.6 tons (unloaded) Properties: The Worker Ant is an unmanned robot model developed by Cybertek Systems Inc. and intended as a construction device, but with military potential. A Worker Ant is ant-like in appearance, but metallic and enormously large: it is 38' long, weighs 12.6 tons (unloaded), and is clad in Adamantek armor. Although resistant against standard attacks, the armor could be torn by exertion levels of superhuman strength (A person with the ability to lift 85 tons could break through the armor with difficulty), and was also penetrable by plasma fire. The neck was not as heavily armored and was more vulnerable.; The ants did not have long-range weapons, but did have various short-range weapons, including cadmium steel pincers in the form of mandibles. The mandibles apparently also served to introduce cargo inside the ant for transport. That meant the ant had a mouth with an opening, which presented another vulnerability: A way to insert an explosive into the ant and damage the more vulnerable interior.; The ants were controlled by a signal emitted in a mainframe carrier wave. A specific control code prevented access to certain functions of the ants. Although each ant had some intelligence and could make limited decisions (for example, to move without colliding with another ant), they were drones and needed constant instructions from the base.; Each ant had a fusion battery that gave it autonomy for six years. They also had built-in explosives to use in case the self-destruct was activated. History: The Cybertek Worker Ant was created by design teams led by Harlan Ryker at Cybertek Systems, Inc.; Cybertek was owned by the Roxxon Oil Corporation. Roxxon had started a dam project in the South American country Estrella with government support, but the locals opposed the construction as their way of life was threatened. Roxxon turned to Cybertek's military developments to eliminate the resistance, as their attacks made the project prohibitively expensive. Cybertek initially dispatched his cyborg Deathlok, but after a first attack, the human brain included in Deathlok took control of the cyborg and broke free, later joining the Estrella resistance led by Joseph Verdugo.; Meanwhile, Roxxon had thirty-two Worker Ants brought in to work on the construction of the dam, and to guard it the rest of the time along with six hundred and thirty-seven members of the Estrellan Armed Forces with not particularly advanced military equipment (rifles, mortars, but without air support or energy weapons). From a nearby bunker called Estrella Command, Cybertek scientist Ben Jacobs controlled the ants, and protecting the unfinished prey was a high priority for the robots, as was protecting the bunker.; The guerrillas planned the attack, including remote signal jamming for the ants as soon as possible. The guerrillas launched a night attack that began by eliminating a focus, and the ants went into attack mode, flanking the counter-forces. Deathlok confronted the ants, revealing his presence, while the guerrillas faced off against the army. Jacobs craved revenge on Deathlok for a previous confrontation, and although Ryker ordered Jacobs to prioritize protecting the quarry and only take out Deathlok if possible, Jacobs decided to disobey.; During the battle, Deathlok was swallowed by an ant and destroyed it from within, only to end up trapped in the mandibles of another. Verdugo saw that his men had a chance to win onlt because Deathlok had kept the ants at bay; and seeing Deathlok in trouble, he decided to risk himself to help him. Verdugo tried to use Deathlok's gun, a weapon of great power, but the weapon did not work except in Deathlok's hands, so in doing so he only drew the ant's attention to himself. Verdugo then grabbed a mortar carrier and shot into the ant's mouth, destroying it and saving Deathlok. Then Deathlok's computer detected the probable Cybertek command center, and he rushed there; en route, he got jam on the signal from the ants, taking control over them. The ants then attacked the Cybertek transmitter, disabling themselves and all Cybertek communication systems in the area. With this maneuver, the Estrellan Army fell into disarray and was captured by the guerrillas, while Deathlok captured Jacobs and a general. Deathlok had Jacobs give him the control code to control all of the ants' functions. Once Deathlok and the guerrillas had deactivated the ants and defeated the enemy forces, Deathlok then made the ants to form in front of the dam, turned them off and activated the ants' self-destruct system. This detonation, combined with other explosives provided by Verdugo and his men, totally destroyed the dam, and the water washed away the remains of the ants.; The failure of the dam project was a stain on the reputations of Roxxon and the Estrella government. Worker Ants has not been seen again. Many of Cybertek's designs and products ended up owned by AIM soon afterward when Cybertek was dismantled, while other assets were sold by Roxxon to corporations like Magnum Munitions. ============================================================ Dalek Kind: item Page: Dalek Formal name: Dalek Type: Weapon First appearance: Punisher Vol 2 33 Created by: Mike Baron; Bill Reinhold Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Microchip Additional designers: Punisher (Frank Castle) Current owner: Punisher (Frank Castle) Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: Part of the Punisher's Arsenal.

He explained that the Cyberslayer were the legacy of the Spider-Slayer technology that was created by his father and the culmination of his plots to kill Spider-Man once and for all. Although this was his intended purpose for his Cyberslayers, Smythe was certain that Doctor Octopus and her minions would be nothing but fodder when he took his creations on their first test run. As the Spider tried to lure the villains away from the people, they were then attacked by a pair of Cyberslayers piloted remotely by Jason Tso and Alistaire Smythe. As they made short work of the minions of Doctor Octopus, Jason Tso reveled in the power of these cybernetic creatures and began plotting to betray Smythe and take them for himself. The Cyberslayers left, ending the conflict. Finally, that Doctor Octopus' hideout, the Doctor fumed at being double-crossed and vowed to destroy Jason Tso, his Cyberslayers, and the Scarlet Spider once and for all.; Later at the Darnell Building, Jason Tso met with his employer, Alistair Smythe, to see his newly built Cyberslayers. The mobster pointed out that he didn't need a bodyguard now that they had the Cyberslayers to protect them. At that moment, Doctor Octopus and her minions arrived at the Darrnel Building to reclaim her stolen technology. There they were ambushed by Alistaire Smythe and his Cyberslayers. However, the battle turned when Jason Tso betrayed Smythe by disconnecting the connection between himself and the Cyberslayers. Doctor Octopus easily destroyed the robots and turned her attention to Alistaire. ============================================================ Dance Gem Kind: item Page: Dance Gem Formal name: Dance Gem Type: Jewel First appearance: Howard the Duck Vol 5 4 Created by: Chip Zdarsky; Joe Quinones Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Talos the Untamed History: The Dance Gem is one of the five stones that make up the Abundant Glove.

Wyman Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian; copy of Mjolnir Lead designer: Dwarves Additional designers: Odin Place of creation: Nidavellir Place of destruction: Destroyed in the Far Shore by Tyr Previous owners: Red Norvell Material: Uru Dimensions: It has an oblong head about a foot and a half long, the handle is two and a half in length. The handle is wrapped in leather that is stated to be unbreakable, with two straps hanging from the top where the handle meets the mallet and ends in a loop at the end of the handle. Properties: The war-hammer itself is already extremely durable and nigh invulnerable like the Earth metal adamantium or the Olympian metal adamantine, and combined with the various enchantments placed upon it by Odin, is for all intents and purposes, indestructible. Being a copy of Mjolnir it also grants its user, Red, countless mystical attributes and powers. But though Red has only shown a few of the hammers potential, it can be assumed that when the hammer was made, that it has all the same abilities as Mjolnir has at that time and before. The war-hammer can be used both offensively and defensively. Red often uses the hammer as a physical weapon, with almost nothing being capable of withstanding a hammer blow or throw.; A few examples of the countless abilities Red has shown with Crusher are:; Bound Enchantment: There is no proof, but it is believed that, unlike the original Mjolnir and the other copies made, no one can lift the war-hammer but Roger Norvell.; Power of Recall: With a mere thought Red can summon the war-hammer to his hand with irresistible force. He can throw it and summon it back instantly, he can summon it from Asgard to Earth or vice-versa. If Red's will is strong enough, the hammer can pass through nearly any barrier to reach him should he so choose; Weather Manipulation: Wielding the war-hammer grants Red the ability to control the base elements of a storm, i.e. rain, wind, thunder, lightning, and more (although Red can control them by himself, it seems that the War-Hammer boosts his ability of controlling the base elements of a storm). Though he has not yet created giant raging electrical storms complete with thunder, lightning, hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, blizzards, tidal waves, exploding volcanoes, earthquakes, and torrential rains across entire planets or individually, it can be assumed that he can. Another aspect of this power allows him to stop any of these weather conditions instantly as well. Whether or not he can go beyond like the original Mjolnir has yet to be revealed.; Flight: With his hammer Red is capable of hurling it with great force and, by holding onto the leather thong, is capable of flying at tremendous speeds. While in flight can also perform complicated maneuvers in the air, and change course in mid-flight at the speed of thought.; Energy Projection: With the war-hammer, Red can project powerful mystical blasts of energy. He can even channel energies for stronger energy attacks.; Energy Absorption and Redirection: Red is able to use the war-hammer to absorb any energy blasts directed towards him as means of attack. Once the energy is absorbed, Red can redirect it back amplified many times over towards the source and/or use it as a weapon of his own. Red used the hammer to absorb Seth entire energy blast, and in doing so stopped him from destroying Yggdrasill.; Portal Creation: By grasping the hammer by it's leather thong and rapidly swirling it, Red can channel energies for the purpose of Wormholes through means of a vortex and in this vortex time has no meaning, which means he and others can pass through it to their destinations instantaneously. He can open gateways which allow him to travel across locations no matter how great the distance within moments or even across entire dimensions, as he does when he travels from Earth to Asgard or Dimension of Death to Earth and vice-versa.; Matter Manipulation: By spinning Mjölnir in a precise manner at cyclotronic speeds, Red can manipulate matter from a molecular level to a vast scale, which allows him to create other configurations and even allows him to transmute the elements themselves. This ability was evident when he transmuted the Lost Gods from their human forms back to Asgardians alone with their memories or when he restored his hammer, like Thor did.; Self-Resurrection: While channeling his power through the war-hammer, Red was able to resurrect himself from the dead.; Holy Object: Having been modeled after Mjölnir a former religious relic, the war-hammer can be lethal to vampires as well.; Transformation: Though Red has shown to so far only change his clothes and the length of the hammers handle, it can be assumed that he could use his hammer to take on his once human form.; Immunity to Other Forces: Like Mjolnir, even without activating the powers of the war-hammer, Red's hammer, enchanted by Odin, is impervious to nearly all forms of change, as claimed by Thor of Mjolnir it can be also assumed that the war-hammer no power in the universe but the All-Father's could affect the war-hammer.; Energy Sensing: The hammer can detect most types of energy. It reacts particularly strongly to evil psychic energy.; Allspeak: Thanks to the Allspeak, the wielder of the war-hammer can communicate with and be understood by all races. Trivia: Though Red's hammer Crusher wasn't given that title until 2011's Thor: Asgard's Avenger Vol 1 1, in the end notes of Eitri profile, the hammer was never called Crusher in any of its appearances until Queen in Black: Hela Vol 1 1.; Odin called it "War-Hammer", he may have meant it in a descriptive manner, Red has continued to call it that as throughout the years.; To a lesser degree Red has also referred to it as "my Enchanted Mallet" or "Magic Hammer" but this could either be descriptive of what it is or that he doesn't see it as anything more than a tool so does not care. History: War-Hammer, Enchanted Mallet, Magic Hammer, or whatever name its owner wishes to call the hammer, it is wielded by Thor of the Crimson Locks, the Norse God of Thunder, Red Norvell.; Red, by fulfilling Odin's plan, is the only one to become "Thor" not through Mjolnir and being able to wield Mjolnir, defeated the original Thor for it, had sacrificed himself to save Asgard from Ragnarok. Because of this and in need of a Thor, Odin and the Dwarves of Nidavellir forged from the metal Uru along with several potent spells from Odin created a copy of Mjolnir in the form of a War-Hammer.; During the events of the Lost Gods, the hammer was mysteriously broken from a simultaneous connecting attack against leader of the Men in Black who wore an enchanted old school Iron Man style armor. Though not seen, it can be assumed that like Thor did, Red had fixed it in a similar fashion, for it was seen fully repaired once again when Red return.; Red used his war-hammer to restore the Asgardians and bring himself back to life, but the Dark Gods laid waste to all of Asgard and left nothing but rubble and debris in their wake.; Red eventually died at the hands of a possessed Donald Blake, but his spirit tagged along with Hela as she returned to the living world. Norvell summoned Crusher to try and stop her plans only for Tyr to crush it. ============================================================ D.A.N.T.E. Armor Kind: item Page: D.A.N.T.E.

Gillis; Chris Warner Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Vyhagh Ar Current owner: Doctor Strange Notes: Vyhagh Ar is presumed to be the name of Principality who created the crystal. However, due to the limited information that has been made available, it's also possible that Vyhagh Ar is the actually name of the crystal's place of origin.; The story does not make it entirely clear if the crystal that appeared before Strange was only a physical manifestation of the spell of the Crystal of Vyhagh Ar that he had just cast or if it was a pre-existing magical item that had merely been transported to him by the spell. It's also not clear what happened to the crystal once Strange had finished using it. History: During a mission to the planet Gevaltu, Rintrah and Doctor Strange (whose consciousness was then co-occupying Rintrah's body) were attacked by their enemy Urthona who used the Darkhold to summon the Dark Bloodhunger of the Night. Although protected by the Shield of the Seraphim, Rintrah/Strange was soon engulfed by the Bloodhunger swarm. Once Rintrah's astral form had departed to perform another task, Strange (now in full control of Rintrah's body) cast the spell of the Crystal of Vyhagh Ar which caused the gemstone to appear before him. Strange then used the Eye of Agamotto to project its powerful mystical light into the crystal which split the beam into multiple shafts of light that struck and destroyed many of the surrounding Bloodhungers. ============================================================ Cube of Nothingness Kind: item Page: Cube of Nothingness Formal name: Cube of Nothingness Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 1 176 Created by: Roy Thomas; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Doctor Strange ============================================================ Curses of the Fiends of Fungol Thopa Kind: item Page: Curses of the Fiends of Fungol Thopa Formal name: Curses of the Fiends of Fungol Thopa Type: Spell First appearance: Marvel Premiere Vol 1 5 Created by: Gardner Fox; Sam Kweskin Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Fungol Thopa Current owner: Sligguth History: The Curses of the Fiends of Fungol Thopa was a spell used by Sligguth against Doctor Strange where it began to drain his life force. ============================================================ Crown of Wolves Kind: item Page: Crown of Wolves Formal name: Crown of Wolves Type: Crown First appearance: Secret Avengers Vol 1 30 Created by: Ed Brubaker; Rick Remender; Matteo Scalera Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Evil alien crown that can tap into the power of the cosmic Dark Children Lead designer: Martians touched by the Abyss Place of creation: Mars Previous owners: Max Fury; Taskmaster Notes: Despite its existence being mentioned in Secret Avengers Vol 1 3, the Crown of Wolves' name is only revealed in Secret Avengers Vol 1 29, with its first full appearance happening an issue later. History: The Crown of Wolves was part of a set of three crowns created by the Martians who had been touched by the Abyss to channel the power of his Dark Children. Under the influence of the crowns, these Martians tried to break their own world apart to awaken the Darkest Child, who would in turn awaken his brothers to free their nameless father from his prison. However, their plan was thwarted by the Archons, a race of constructs created by the Watchers to guard the Abyss and wait for his eventual return. The nearly destroyed planet was eventually abandoned, with the only Archon who managed to survive the ordeal remaining behind to guard the crowns.; A millennia later, the Crown of Wolves was found on Earth by an archeologist and his son, who were subsequently killed (presumably) by Taskmaster. After Taskmaster delivered him the Crown of Wolves, Shadow Council leader Max Fury merged it to the other two crowns he had previously acquired and donned the merged crown to become the Abyss' vessel, but that didn't work as he was a Life Model Decoy. The merged crown was then donned by Taskmaster, who proceeded to spread the Abyss' influence to the new Masters of Evil assembled by Fury to serve as an army for the dark entity, and the Secret Avengers who tried in vain to prevent Fury from acquiring the three crowns. The Secret Avengers Agent Venom and Ant-Man, who weren't affected by the Abyss' influence due to one being a symbiote host and the other secretly a Life-Model Decoy, fought against the Abyss as he tried to spread his influence beyond Bagalia and managed to severe his connection to Earth by bonding the Venom symbiote to Taskmaster and unmerging the three crowns. The crowns were then confiscated by the Secret Avengers, who tucked them away, separated in remote vaults across the Microverse. ============================================================ Crystals of Tscho Vulpanomi Kind: item Page: Crystals of Tscho Vulpanomi Formal name: Crystals of Tscho Vulpanomi Type: Jewel First appearance: Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 8 Created by: Clark Ashton Smith; Roy Thomas Reality: Earth-616 Notes: The "gorgeous crystals of Tscho Vulpanomi" were inspired by the "gorgeous crystals of tourmaline from Tscho Vulpanomi", mentioned in "The Weird of Avoosl Wuthoqquan", by Clark Ashton Smith, adapted in Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 8 (January, 1995). History: The gorgeous Crystals of Tscho Vulpanomi were seemingly famous gems, yet inferior to a set of eyeball-shaped emeralds stolen by Conan and sold to Avoosl Wuthoqquan. ============================================================ Crystal of Ultimate Vision Kind: item Page: Crystal of Ultimate Vision Formal name: Crystal of Ultimate Vision Type: Unique Jewel First appearance: X-Men Annual Vol 1 11 Created by: Alan Davis; Paul Neary; Chris Claremont Reality: Earth-616 Origin: A mysterious jewel that grants ultimate knowledge and power as a test of character. Previous owners: Horde Model: Unique History: For untold eons, the existence of a legendary artifact that grants its user ultimate power has tempted many amongst the elder space faring races with the lure of universal conquest. Many who attempted to take the relic's power were beset with a test of character hidden throughout its citadel which dragged any and all spelunking hunters into idyllic fantasies that left them as dust in the wind. The brave few who managed to bypass such an alluring trap were often found unfit by the Crystal, and as a result, had the genetic potential of change and growth in their entire species halted as a consequence.; A myriad of different figures standing guard as unmoving sentries before the waiting items stronghold standing as testament to their failure to meet the diadem's mortal challenge. A lone raider of the cosmos named Horde managed to get ahold of a small fragment of which to become nigh unstoppable, but found that even with his newfound might he himself could not surpass the Crystal's keep's trials.; Centuries passed until the would-be conqueror stumbled upon the then lesser known planet of Earth where he made contact with the Uncanny X-Men and coerced them to retrieve the ultimate prize hidden within its confines. Lest the world as they know it come to a grievous end, as had countless others in the distant past. One by one the heroic adventurers succumbed to their underlying wants and desires while traversing the endless corridors containing their objective. A few of them managed to resist falling into their fantasies made reality only to be fundamentally changed.; To spare his beloved Storm the same fate that befell Ms. Braddock when she tried to rebel against Horde in her Deviant state. Wolverine forced Ororo into her ultimate longing of being a thief in Madripoor while he did his best to hold back their assailant from achieving absolute power.; While faring no better than his other contemporary Psylocke, Logan was summarily slain by the malignant xenoform; but as he lay dying, a little of the mutant hero's blood spilled upon the gemstone itself. Supercharging his Healing Factor to the point it could regrow the weathered veteran from his very genetic code as a whole new man. Armed with the power of complete and ultimate knowledge, the resurrected loner dispatched horde by clipping his fragment of the cosmic curiosity, causing him to rapidly age to dust the very second it was removed. While under the influence of the crystals, James realizes that no one person should ever have this power. For whatever reasons that may, he proved his ultimate mettle by reneging the power given; destroying the gem alongside its palace of the impossible.; Unbeknownst to all at the time who fell to their greatest wishes, when the most aged amongst their number passed its test and it restored them back to life on Earth, normalized form and all, while the fortification that housed the eye of their quest was reassembled by its petrified guardians sitting outside it. The Crystal of Ultimate Visions reformed within its confines to stand as the touchstone to evolutionary progress access once again.; ==Properties==; The Crystal of Ultimate Vision grants its user ultimate understanding of the cosmos and beyond, thus resulting in penultimate capability through a solipsistic effect shared between the diamond and its possessor.; But said treasure, in its own way, is sapient and can create host of challenges and temptations of the mind, heart, and soul of the individuals seeking it, punishing those found unworthy by transmuting them into its templar overseers while rendering their entire species an evolutionary dead end by forever stunting their racial growth.; With so much as a sliver of the original Crystal; an Individual is bestowed with vast powers but at a weaker degree than what they would have while in possession of the full corundum.; Even still the shard in Horde's possession was more than enough to give him catastrophic ability levels in his own right. ============================================================ Dark Terrigen (Earth-38264) Kind: item Page: Dark Terrigen Formal name: Dark Terrigen Type: Drug First appearance: Marvel's Avengers (video game) Created by: Shaun Escayg; Morgan W.

It was built by Beavertron Incorporated on Daggett's World. It siphoned life energy from the planet to convert it into power, and it was then sold by Castor Gnawbarque III to neighboring systems, marketing it as clean, geothermal energy.; With use of the D-Type Converter slowly desertifying the planet, its inhabitants sought the help of the Guardians of the Galaxy to destroy it. In response, the tycoon hired a splinter group of Guardians led by Gamora to provide security and prevent any sabotage attempts.; Marvel Boy infiltrated the D-Type Converter but was intercepted by Gamora's Guardians. A skirmish ensued and Marvel Boy used his Nega-Gauntlets to swap places with Hercules. During a fight against the Prince of Power, Hercules used the momentum of Prince's attack against him, lunging his opponent into a component of the D-Type Converter that was vital to its energy containment. With its self-repair systems also compromised, the D-Type Converter began to set off. In the meantime, Marvel Boy had snuck into Gnawbarque's office and forced on him his pair of Nega-Gauntlets. Hercules used his pair of Nega-Gauntlets to switch places with Gnawbarque and escape alongside the opposing Guardians from the destruction of the D-Type Converter, leaving the tycoon stranded inside the device with only seconds before it exploded. ============================================================ Crystals of Vontsalvant Kind: item Page: Crystals of Vontsalvant Formal name: Crystals of Vontsalvant Type: Stone First appearance: Marvel Comics Presents Vol 1 105 Created by: Skip Dietz; Joel Zulueta Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Negative Zone Current owner: Vigil of Vontsalvant; The Thing History: The Crystals of Vontsalvant powered the planet Vontsalvant though the supply began to dwindle and conflict broke out which ultimately left the Vigil of Vontsalvant as the sole survivor.

He was found by The Thing and they fought with Ben overpowering the Vigil and the Vigil was trapped under rubble. He demanded the Thing kill him, but Ben refused and then saved the Vigil from a roof collapse. The Vigil deemed the Thing worthy and gave him the crystal. After Ben left, the Vigil set up another crystal and waited for the next person he would deem worthy. ============================================================ Darkest Delight Kind: item Page: Darkest Delight Formal name: Darkest Delight Type: Spell First appearance: Thunderbolts Annual Vol 2 1 Created by: Ben Acker; Ben Blacker; Matteo Lolli Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: King Oberoth'm'gozz History: Darkest Delight was a spell cast by "Doctor Strange" to make everyone it affected happy.

Portpha Monannoo!", the Crystal could open a teleportation portal (also mentioned as the "mystic portal of Hanuman" that could transport the one individual holding the Crystal. Notes: The Elder Ones involved were presumably Great Old Ones (see notes on the Elder Ones' page). History: ===Early days===; The Crystal of the Elder Ones was a mystical artifact that could open a teleportation portal for its wielder.; In the dawn of civilization, when Men had just wrestled Earth from the last of the Elder Ones, Hanuman the Supreme, the Sorcerer Supreme of the House of Xal, acquired the Crystal.; The Crystal was placed in Hanuman's sarcophagus, in a temple in the Valley of Howls, within the Shamar Mountains of Ophir, which became brooding chambers to demons for their larvae.; ===Hyborian Age===; During the Hyborian Age, circa 10,000 BC, Thanamar Zalix, the wizard of Carnolla in the Shamar Mountains, coveted the crystal, intending to use it to dramatically ascend among the community of sorcerers and become the most fearsome of all.; He sent the graverobbers Batu and Pazun to retrieve it from Hanuman's sarcophagus, but those came only with his ring, the legendary Talisman of Hanuman. Intending to return with them to the Valley of Shadows and find the Crystal despite the graverobbers' protest, he forced Batu into his service after making an example of Pazun, then tricked Conan into joining his expedition by harassing him with visions of Shameel, a girl that had stayed in the Valley. Thanamar stated that an artifact could be used to magically transport themselves out of the valley, omitting only the wielder of the Crystal would be transported away.; As the party found the Shameel then the Crystal, they were besieged by demons. Thanamar revealed the Crystal's limitation, as he was going to escape, but was slain by Batu, in turn killed by Shameel. She then asked Conan to slay her out of mercy as she was going to become the demons' next brood queen.; After taking the portal and being transported back to Thanamar'shouse, Conan pondered about giving the Crystal to another wizard, before shattering it. ============================================================ Darkholder Totem Kind: item Page: Darkholder Totem Formal name: Darkholder Totem Type: Totem First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 2 67 Created by: Roger Stern; Steve Leialoha Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Darkholders History: The Darkholder Totem was a totem that the Darkholders sought to use to perform a ritual that would bring about the reinvigoration of the Earthly vampire population after they were decimated by the Montesi Formula.

While some of the powers might vary, depending upon the spirit inhabiting the armor, they are primarily the same for any user.; Superhuman Strength:'The Destroyer armor possesses vast superhuman strength beyond normal reckoning and can lift far in excess of 100 tons. While inhabited by the lifeforce of a sentient being, its strength is immeasurable. In fact, the Destroyer armor has frequently matched and even exceeded Thor's raw power in battle. Odin, the creator of the Destroyer armor, once placed all of the combined life forces of the Asgardians, with the exception of Thor, into the armor, further enhancing the armor's strength to levels that make it's normal strength which is already incredible seem insignificant.; Superhuman Speed: The Destroyer armor, despite its physical mass, can run and move at speeds far greater than that of the finest human athlete.; Superhuman Stamina: The Destroyer armor is maintained by the lifeforce of a sentient being and is not subject to physical fatigue. While inhabited, the Destroyer possesses virtually limitless superhuman stamina in all activities.; Invulnerability: The Destroyer armor is practically impervious to all forms of physical damage. It is tougher than adamantium and uru. The armor can withstand high caliber bullets, tremendously powerful impact forces, falls from tremendous heights, exposure to absolute extremes of both temperature and pressure, and powerful energy blasts from the likes of Thor and Odin without sustaining damage. While possessed of the lifeforce of all the Asgardians, the Destroyer was melted into slag by powerful blasts of energy from the Celestials.; Superhuman Agility: The Destroyer armor's natural agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete despite its great weight.; Superhuman Reflexes: The armor's reflexes are similarly heightened and are far superior to those possessed by the finest human athlete.; Flight: Through self-levitation, the Destroyer armor is capable of flying through the air at mach 32.; Energy Manipulation: The Destroyer armor is capable of firing extremely powerful bolts of energy, primarily for destructive purposes. It has such power that the energy it crackles within can shatter planets. The armor can project beams of intense heat, electricity, plasma, anti-matter and magnetic force. Its energy blasts are powerful enough to slice through uru, such as Thor's Mjolnir.; Visor Blast: Its most devastating weapon, however, is a beam fired from the armor's helmet, where a person's face would be in an ordinary suit of armor, that is capable of disintegrating practically any known substance in existence. The Destroyer must keep its visor open in order to build up the energies to use in this attack.; Matter Manipulation: The armor is also capable of manipulating the molecular structure of most materials and matter itself for a variety of purposes including but not limited to, transmutation.; ===Abilities===; The Destroyer is programmed solely for battle and destruction. Only a very strong spirit, such as Thor, Odin, Cul, or Freya can resist its programming and act on their own free will.; ===Strength===; Class 100+. Its strength varies depending on how powerful the person animating it is.; ===Weaknesses===; While the armor itself has no weaknesses, the spirit inhabiting the armor will begin to grow more progressively violent while spending extended periods of time within the armor. Also, after a time, it becomes nearly impossible for an inhabiting spirit to maintain control over the armor while attempting to use it for non-violent purposes in non-combat situations. In time, the armor itself will dominate the inhabiting life force. Only a being of extreme willpower is able to hold control over the armor and even then, as of late, the armor has become more demanding of it's hosts. Burning through one recipient driver after the other as its drain on their life force is too extreme even for a god.; ===Weapons===; When battling the Celestials, the armor wielded the Odinsword. Trivia: The Destroyer is the only item known to have a Power Grid. History: Odin, Zeus, and Vishnu, known as the Skyfathers of their respective pantheons, confronted Earth's Third Host of Celestials. The Celestials explained that their next visit would judge whether humanity was fit to continue existing and that the gods should not interfere. They threatened to seal off the dimensional pathways that link Earth to the various realms such as Asgard and Olympus. Not wanting to lose their worshipers, the Skyfathers secretly began plans to stop them. Odin created a mystic armor that could contain vast amounts of the Gods' energies in order to battle the Celestials. He used an unknown metal and enchanted it with his magic. Odin also asked the other Skyfathers to infuse it with some of their power, making it virtually all-powerful. The durability of the armor surpasses that of adamantium and uru.; The armor was stored away in the Temple of Darkness, but it was found by Loki, who sought to use it against Thor. Seeing how the Destroyer was indiscriminate in what it attacks, and fearing the safety of Asgard (and therefore his own), Loki had Karnilla awaken Odin from his Odinsleep. Odin collapsed the Temple, seemingly burying the Destroyer in the rubble.; It was reactivated by Loki to attack a tournament held in Asgard to determine the strongest Asgardian and then by Karnilla who tricked Sif into putting her soul into the armor to aid Thor in a fight against the Wrecker. Karnilla removed Sif's soul from the armor when Balder promised to fight Ulik on her behalf. Odin then took the armor into his custody.; It was found once more by Professor Clement Holmes, who reactivated the armor by unintentionally sacrificing his life energy to it. It was defeated by Thor and Hercules and the soul of Holmes returned to his body. The armor then became a herald to Galactus as a replacement for Firelord. In this role, it discovered the existence of Counter-Earth and was opposed by the Fantastic Four and the High Evolutionary.; Thor later used the Destroyer to threaten Hela into undoing a curse she placed on him. His body was restored and the armor was encased until it was needed.; When the Celestials returned, Odin absorbed the other Asgardians (save for an absent Thor) and then entered the armor. The Eternals formed the Uni-Mind and also sought to fight for humanity. The Celestials determined Earth's fate in an area sealed by a dome. The Destroyer had sliced through and the confrontation ensued. With the Odinsword, the Destroyer was able to cut off Nezarr the Calculator's arm, but Nezarr regenerated immediately. Even with its increased powers, the Destroyer was not powerful enough to fight the Celestials and was melted down.; Thor returned to find all the other Asgardians in deathlike comas. Thor was able to convince the other Skyfathers to help him restore Odin, and bravely confronted the Celestials on his own. Gaea and the other Skymothers were successful in recruiting the Young Gods and presented them to the Host. The Celestials deemed humanity fit and left with the Young Gods.; The armor, however, was not completely ruined and several years later Loki reformed the armor in a bid to destroy a severely weakened Thor. Thor, however, wrested control of the armor from the host - an enthralled Frost Giant named Siggorth - through sheer force of will and went on to defeat Loki and then the Death goddess Hela, who was forced to restore Thor to his true form. The Destroyer was left in a crystal in Hela's realm, and was eventually animated by the goddess Lorelei. Lorelei battled several Asgardians and became trapped in the dimension of the Great Beasts.; The Destroyer was later deployed by Trolls, who empowered it with the spirit of the Maestro, an evil version of the Hulk. Although the Hulk failed to defeat the Destroyer in combat, he was able to enter the Destroyer and fight the Maestro for control and defeat it from within. Thor had two more encounters with the Destroyer, with the armor almost killing him on the first occasion and breaking his jaw on the second. The armor was eventually retrieved by Loki and occupied by the entity Desak, although Thor - equipped with the Odin Power - decapitated it with one throw of Mjolnir.; The armor was later under the control of the god Balder when Thor was on a quest to locate his missing brethren, the Asgardians.; After Jane Foster became the new wielder of Mjolnir, Odin desperately wanted the hammer back and sent his brother The Serpent to retrieve it while wearing the Destroyer Armor. The Serpent was close to taking the hammer, but he met with unexpectedly resistance from the previous Thor (now going by Odinson), Odin's wife Frigga, and a number of women Odinson had suspected of being the new Thor. Eventually, Odin was forced to order his brother to stand down.; Following the disappearance of Odinson, Odin became a tyrant and used the Destroyer Armor to enforce his rule along with the Thunder Guard. The Destroyer was animated using various Asgardians who had to be replaced constantly due to the toll the Destroyer had on their life force. When Mangog launched an attack on Asgardia to wipe out all Asgardians, Queen Frigga fought the beast alongside Odinson and Odin while wearing the Destroyer, but Mangog bit off the armor's arm with ease using his teeth.; The armor was later seen being piloted by a seemingly resurrected Kid Loki. The missing arm was kept in Avengers Mountain until Thor used it as his new mechanical arm.; The Asgardians eventually regained possession of the Destroyer. During the Dark Council's invasion of Earth, Volstagg took to piloting the armor to help fend off the invasion; When Thor discovered that something was wrong with Mjolnir's worthiness enchantment, he switched places with his counterpart Donald Blake to figure out why. However, Donald Blake had gone mad and now wanted to destroy everything Odin had created. Thor was left stranded in Blake's former illusionary world while Blake went on a rampage. Thor eventually escaped by transferring his spirit into the Destroyer Armor, just in time to stop Blake from destroying Yggdrasill.; During the Reckoning War, all the former Heralds of Galactus, including the Destroyer, gathered to reanimate the corpse of the Galactus. The Destroyer fused with Galactus, turning him into the Destruction. The Destruction fed on the energies of a self-destructing M'kraan armor, and Galactus (now fully alive and no longer hungry for worlds) and the Destroyer emerged as a result.; clear ============================================================ Deathless Frenzy Kind: item Page: Deathless Frenzy Formal name: Deathless Frenzy Other aliases: Formula Dix-Septieme; La Frenesie Immortel Type: Drug First appearance: Black Widow Vol 1 1 Created by: Devin Grayson; J.G.

When given to a subject, it would cause them to go into an unstoppable blind rage. Yelena Belova tried to keep Natasha Romanoff from retrieving the Endless Fury serum but failed. Natasha brought the doctor to a lab in Zurich and ordered him to develop a vaccine.; Yelena attacked the army of General Khan, hoping to destroy the canisters of the Deathless Frenzy before being used against the U.S. and Russian armies, but she failed. Dr. Ines, though unable to develop a cure, was able to develop a vaccine which was transported to Rhapastan. The serum was going to be used by General Khan on his army to create an invincible army against U.S. and Russian soldiers. However, the soldiers of General Khan were tricked by Natasha into being inoculated with the vaccine for the Deathless Frenzy. During the battle, the serum failed to produce the desired effect, but General Khan, not being inoculated, began feeling the effects of the drug. The Black Widow was able to stop the frenzied General Khan, who later died as an effect of the drug. ============================================================ Destiny's Books Kind: item Page: Destiny's Books Formal name: Libris Veritatus Other aliases: Books of Truth; Destiny's Books; Destiny's Diaries; Libris Veritatum; Libris Veritorum Type: Unique Book First appearance: X-Treme X-Men Vol 1 1 Created by: Chris Claremont; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Irene Adler Place of creation: Austria Current owner: Moira X Previous owners: Irene Adler; Mystique; Charles Xavier; Vargas; Shadowcat Notes: Volume 1: January; Volume 2; Volume 3: March.

A page with a captive Gambit is shown to Bishop in Dreamtime, which appears in the diary Vargas has on his mantelpiece during his talk with Gambit. Trivia: Both "Libris Veritatus" and "Libris Veritatum" are incorrect Latin ("veritas" is feminine, doesn't decline in neither "veritatus" or "veritatum"). The correct translation for "Books of Truth" would be Libris Veritatis. History: Fearing Destiny's diaries posed a threat in the wrong hands, Storm formed the X-Treme X-Men to hunt down the diaries. They found some volumes while Shadowcat found another and Professor X got a hold of the rest.; It appeared the prophecies in the diaries were rendered useless when Rogue defied one of them by sparing the life of the villain Vargas. However, after Scarlet Witch warped reality into Earth-58163 and later nearly wiping out Mutantkind, Mister Sinister became interested in the diaries so he could learn the future of Mutantkind. He sent the Marauders to retrieve the diaries, but they turned out to be forgeries. The real diaries were hidden away in Flint, Michigan by Shadowcat and Emma Frost. Gambit decided to burn the diaries so the Marauders and the X-Men couldn't use them.; During the attack of the Chaos King, a copy of one of the diaries was found hidden on Muir Island, which contained information on how to defeat the Chaos King.; Apparently, the diaries Gambit burned were forgeries, since at least nine diaries later turned up in the ownership of Moira X.; ==Alternate versions==; ===Earth-1025===; The Diaries were fakes, written by Mystique in order to make the X-Men follow a dead trail. ============================================================ Destroyer (Doom's Creation) Kind: item Page: Destroyer (Doom's Creation) Formal name: Destroyer Other aliases: Prometheus Type: Magical Armor First appearance: Thor Vol 3 605 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Billy Tan Mung Khoy Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Latveria Place of destruction: Latveria Previous owners: Doctor Doom Material: Uru History: Having allowed the Asgardians to take up residence in his home, Doctor Doom took the opportunity to examine the Asgardians up close. Vivisecting several of them, he learned their inner workings, and created his own version of the Destroyer armor that was created by Odin. Doom's version was powered by the spark of Odin-Force of Asgardians that he had killed, and was capable of being physically manned by Doom himself. It was powerful enough to overwhelm Thor until it started to run out of power, allowing Thor to destroy it, forcing Doom to retreat. ============================================================ Detroit Steel Armor Kind: item Page: Detroit Steel Armor Formal name: Detroit Steel Type: Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 25 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Justine Hammer Additional designers: Sasha Hammer Current owner: Sasha Hammer Previous owners: Doug Johnson III Model: 2 History: After an injury on active combat duty, Lieutenant Doug Johnson III was hired by the Hammer girls to pilot the Detroit Steel armor.; The armor has various types of weaponry including a chainsaw mounted in the left gauntlet, a cannon mounted in the right and a chest beam.; Johnson met his demise in Paris at the hands of the Grey Gargoyle, who had been chosen as one of the Serpent's Worthy.; After Johnson's death, Sasha Hammer become the new Detroit Steel, with a new design of the armor. ============================================================ Destructroid Rifle Kind: item Page: Destructroid Rifle Formal name: Destructroid Rifle Type: Firearm First appearance: Thor Vol 1 259 Created by: Len Wein; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Pr'kash History: The Destructoid Rife was owned by space pirate Pr'kash and was used to hold Thor, Sif and the Warriors Three hostage. ============================================================ Demolo-Gun Kind: item Page: Demolo-Gun Formal name: Demolo-Gun Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 73 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Reed Richards Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Reed Richards History: While fighting with Daredevil, the Thing fell towards it, activating it, but he smashed it before it could have destroyed New York City. ============================================================ Destroyer Armor Prototype Gun (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Destroyer Armor Prototype Gun Formal name: Destroyer Armor Prototype Gun Other aliases: Destroyer Gun; Coulson's Revenge; Bambino Type: Firearm First appearance: Marvel's The Avengers Created by: Zak Penn; Joss Whedon Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Energy weapon, product of Phase 2, reverse engineered from the Destroyer. Lead designer: S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist Additional designers: Odin (creator of the Destroyer) Place of creation: S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D. Material: Uru Properties: The Destroyer Gun was reverse-engineered from the ruined remains of the Asgardian sentinel known only as the Destroyer. It appears to retain some part of the Destroyer's fiery core and can discharge powerful bolts of energy, producing heat, light and concussive force in the process. When the weapon charges up it gains a vivid orange glow emanating from between the banding plates around the barrel. A telescopic sight has been fitted to the top and other Earthly additions give this weapon a curious appearance, marrying modern technology with something altogether more alien. Trivia: In Marvel: Avengers Alliance, this weapon Gun is named "Coulson's Revenge", a nod to Marvel's The Avengers. History: After S.H.I.E.L.D. recovered the wreckage of the Destroyer from Puente Antiguo, they assigned it to a S.H.I.E.L.D. project called "Phase 2." This project aimed to develop technologies capable of offering humanity some defense in the face of threats on the level of the Destroyer or the Abomination. S.H.I.E.L.D. researchers then reverse engineered the wrecked sentinel and developed the Destroyer Gun from its remains.; When Loki escaped confinement aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson responded by retrieving the Destroyer Gun from secure storage. He confronted Loki, pointing the gun at him, and warned that he had no idea of its capabilities. Loki disguised his true location with illusion however, and stabbed Coulson from behind. As he lay dying, Agent Coulson managed to raise the weapon to fire off one powerful shot at Loki. The force of the impact was enough to severely hurt the god of mischief, but proved insufficient to prevent him from escaping.; Two years later, Nick Fury provided Coulson with the Destroyer Gun again to fend off Centipede soldiers.; A year later, Leo Fitz used the Destroyer Gun to aid Agent Bobbi Morse against a Kree named Vin-Tak. ============================================================ Death Seed Kind: item Page: Death Seed Formal name: Death Seed Other aliases: Apocalypse Seed Type: Technology First appearance: Uncanny X-Force Vol 1 10 Created by: Rick Remender; Billy Tan Origin: Celestial Lead designer: Celestials Current owner: Celestial Gardeners Previous owners: Weapon Omega; Jean Grey; Psylocke; Apocalypse; Clan Akkaba; Archangel; Apocalypse Twins; Shadowtiger Properties: Age of Apocalypse Vol 1 8; Death Seeds are said to bestow powers possibly up to the level of a typical Phoenix host. They may have similar properties to the Phoenix Force, as a Death Seed was attracted to Jean Grey because she previously had the Phoenix and she was described as "perfect" for the Seed. The Seed's cosmic energies are infused at a molecular level and cannot easily be separated from its host, but it can be rendered dormant. On Earth-295, a pill was developed to separate the Death Seed from its host, but this method is extremely dangerous as the process causes an explosion. Life Seeds, as their antithesis, can cancel out the Death Seeds.; Death Seeds are used by Celestial Gardeners to "grow" Celestial servants to shepherd a planet's evolution. It radicalizes their personality; experienced Phoenix hosts can resist this, but not completely. In general, while there seems to be only one active evolutionary caretaker per planet at a time, Death Seeds can still be planted in others. However, Death Seeds will only "ascend" the recipient as the next Apocalypse if the current one dies, which suggests the spares are of lesser quality. Additionally, if the host dies and there is no spare, the power will automatically transfer to someone else. This does not seem to occur if the Death Seed is neutralized by a Life Seed, as Genocide had to be given a new Death Seed after Archangel's defeat.; The Death Seeds' power is an "anti-power" that cannot be absorbed by the Exterminators, and according to Jean Grey, the Death Seed is alive. Notes: The Life Seed can break the influence of the Death Seed, but in the only example seen, it destroyed the original persona along with the Death persona and grew a completely new persona.; Given that the newly ascended Archangel was called the Master of the Seven Seeds, there is the possibility there are more.; Rick Remender revealed later in an interview that he believes there are also seeds for the Pestilence, Famine and War personas. History: ===Origin===; Before the Multiverse existed, the Celestials created the Exterminators to balance their creations of life with death. However, these monsters turned on the Celestials, which forced the Celestials to seal them up. Following this failure, the Celestials developed the Death Seeds to serve the same purpose as the Exterminators but far more manageable.; Celestial Gardeners give Death Seeds to select individuals charged with aiding the natural evolution of superior species on worlds. The individuals ascend in power and strength, but their minds become so twisted to the point that they will see death as something beautiful that makes space for something new to come and will not have any problem in killing millions if not billions of living beings to achieve their goal. Those infected by the Death Seed had the singular duty of ensuring the rising of a superior species such as mutants that could only be achieved by the elimination of an inferior race such as humans, and failure to do so meant that the Celestials would eventually arrive and eradicate the entire planetary population of the failed experiment.; Apocalypse, one of those who agreed to be the instrument of the Celestials on Earth to ensure the natural evolution of superior species, used the Death Seed to transform individuals into his various Horsemen of Death. One of these was Archangel.; ===Dark Angel Saga===; After Apocalypse's demise, Archangel began his ascent into the next Apocalypse to replace him. Upon arriving at Akkaba Metropolis, home of Clan Akkaba, Ozymandias congratulated Archangel and was please that out of all the "Deaths" they had planted with the Death Seed, Archangel was the one who rose. Dark Beast informed the X-Force that they could stop Archangel with the Death Seed's opposite, a Life Seed, but this was a ploy to obtain the Life Seed for Archangel.; With the death of Sanjar Javeed, Archangel needed a new Death, so he needed a Death Seed to choose his successor. He went before the Dreaming Celestial in order to acquire a Death Seed. When asked by Dark Beast would who would he choose as his successor, Archangel commented that the choice was only natural in that he would select Psylocke. The process would transform her into the latest incarnation of Death until the Age of Apocalypse Jean Grey used her powers to remove that persona and return Psylocke back to normal. Psylocke stopped Archangel's plan to burn the world and restart evolution by stabbing him with the Life Seed, which destroyed the Archangel persona but also Warren's original self and he emerged as an amnesiac.; ===Apocalypse Twins===; Following Archangel's defeat, Genocide called upon a Celestial Gardener to give him a new Death Seed so he could ascend as the next Apocalypse. However, Archangel's true heirs, the Apocalypse Twins, suddenly returned and slayed the Gardener, as part of Eimin and Uriel's campaign against humanity and their cruel surrogate father, Kang the Conqueror. Using Life and Death Seeds from the Gardener, they revived and then transformed the Sentry, Banshee, Grim Reaper, and Daken into their Horsemen of Death.; Although the Horsemen were still corrupted when the Twins and Kang were defeated, they all returned back to normal at some point. Their Death Seeds remained inside them, dormant. Daken later used Amp to briefly awaken his seed until Iceman rendered it dormant again.; ===Age of Apocalypse & X-Termination===; Apocalypse had used the power of the Death Seed to enslave the world of Earth-295. After his death, a younger clone briefly gained his power but was killed by Weapon X. However, Logan merely ascended as the heir of Apocalypse in his place, becoming Weapon Omega. Corrupted by the power, Weapon Omega continued Apocalypse's work to promote his twisted idea of evolution under the reasoning that he was sparing the planet from Celestial judgment. He planned to rebuild the world with his wife Jean Grey and almost implanted her with a Death Seed, but she was rescued by the X-Men and Earth-616's X-Force.; Doctor Doom created the Master Apparatus that could capture the Apocalypse Power and transfer it to someone else, though the power needed to be released from its host first. Reed Richards' research was used to develop a pill that could separate Weapon Omega from the Death Seed's power. After ingesting it, the Death Seed was released from Weapon Omega and was about to cause a massive explosion that would wipe out the city of New Apocalypse; however, the Seed decided to go inside Jean Grey instead. Thanks to Jean's experience with the Phoenix Force, Jean was able to reject the Seed and released it without an explosion. The Seed was then captured by Doom's Master Apparatus and sealed inside a container.; When the Exterminators attacked, Jean reluctantly unleashed the Death Seed to fight these monsters, as it was super effective against them. ============================================================ Delta Missile (Earth-6676) Kind: item Page: Delta Missile Formal name: Delta Missile Type: Missile First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 76 Created by: Stan Lee; Gil Kane; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-6676 Current owner: King Arrkam History: The Delta Missile was fired by King Arrkam's forces against the Hulk, but he survived a direct hit. ============================================================ Death Spore Flower Kind: item Page: Death Spore Flower Formal name: Death Spore Flower Other aliases: Death Spore Bomb Type: Plant First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 158 Created by: Jim Steranko Reality: Earth-616; Earth-12591 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Place of creation: Hel Previous owners: Baron von Strucker; Loki Alternate owners: Adolf Hitler (Earth-12591) Notes: It's unknown if the Death Spore Bomb from Earth-616 has the same origins as the Death Spore Flower from Earth-12591 or if they are connected at all outside of their name and shared connection with a Baron von Strucker. History: ===Earth-616===; Baron von Strucker as Hydra Supreme led Hydra with the intension of setting off a Death Spore Bomb inside of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier that would be the starting point for a deadly disease that would wipe out the modern civilized world while he and the rest of Hydra would be safe within a protected bubble that was Hydra Island. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Colonel Nick Fury however ruined these plans when Fury infiltrated Hydra Island with the bomb and left it there when rescuing Laura Brown. The bomb went off within the bubble keeping any ill effects quarantined inside it and maintaining the world's safety.; ===Earth-12591===; The Death Spore Flower was plucked from the fields of the viking underworld of Hel, land of the dishonored dead, where it had been fertilized by the rotting remains of Pagan gods. It was given to Baron von Strucker by a disguised Loki who wished to cause mayhem on Earth for his own amusement and to upset Thor. Strucker took the flower back to Adolf Hitler who ate it, turning him into a zombie and beginning the zombie outbreak on Earth-12591. ============================================================ Deadpool's Katanas Kind: item Page: Deadpool's Katanas Formal name: Deadpool's Katanas Other aliases: Bea & Arthur; Hall & Oates Type: Sword First appearance: New Mutants Vol 1 98 Created by: Rob Liefeld; Fabian Nicieza Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Wade Wilson Previous owners: James Bourne; Greg Salinger; Madcap; Steven Harmon; Terror; Walter Newell History: ===Origin===; Deadpool is a master swordsman who frequently uses katana blades in combat. Although they are not unique items, and have been replaced many times in the past, Deadpool has a keen eye for metalwork and uses high-quality katana when he can afford it. Many of his katanas are a set of sharpened swords composed of steel, while some are merely composed of carbon. At least one set of katana can be charged with an energy field through his suit, increasing their durability and increasing cutting power to the point that they can easily cut through objects as hard as diamond . Due to his extensive training in martial arts, Wade Wilson mastered kenjutsu at a level beyond that of the finest human athlete. ============================================================ Deadpool's Teleporter Kind: item Page: Deadpool's Teleporter Type: Technology First appearance: Deadpool Vol 2 1 Created by: Joe Kelly; Ed McGuinness Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Jack Hammer Current owner: Deadpool History: ===Origin===; At different periods Deadpool has possessed different teleportation technologies which he sometimes uses for combat.

The Death Stone allowed the user to be in the presence of those who are dying, induce death to still living people, and even look into the lives of the departed.; Because it encased the embodiment of Death herself, the Death Stone had a degree of sentience, and as a result not everyone could use it freely, except for those it chose. Despite not being originally part of the other Infinity Stones, it developed a connection to them, and when in their proximity its power would grow. History: The Death Stone is an artificial Infinity Stone created to control death. Two stones were made.; The first stone was created by the then-All-Father Bor. He had his magicians create the stone in a forbidden area in Niffleheim. Then they were suddenly attacked by the Mad Titan Thanos from the future who sought to get his hands on the stone. Thanos was prevented by Bor and his Valkyries. Utilizing the shell of the Galactus Seed and the Eternal Flame, Miskunn and her fellow magicians created the Stone to act as fuel, and as Thanos came to confront them, the Stone transformed into a baby girl that would grow up to be the Asgardian death god Hela.; The second stone was created by Thanos in the modern era. After Death rejected Thanos, the Mad Titan used his powers to subdue her before proceeding to encapsulate the embodiment of Death within a stone. Despite this, death would still persist as long as the stone was intact.; He attempted to use it to its full potential, but failed to unlock its true power. Figuring that it required to be in the vicinity of the other Infinity Stones to fully function, Thanos sought out reclaim the Stones once again. However, as he went after some of the Stones' current wielders, it caused the Death Stone to finally be activated, only to leave Thanos. The Death Stone later landed in a cemetery that Nighthawk was visiting as he witnessed it reviving Phil Coulson, choosing him as its new wielder. ============================================================ Deadpool's Suit Kind: item Page: Deadpool's Suit Formal name: Deadpool's Suit Type: Suit First appearance: New Mutants Vol 1 98 Created by: Rob Liefeld; Fabian Nicieza Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Suit designed by Weasel Lead designer: Jack Hammer Additional designers: Wade Wilson Current owner: Evil Deadpool; Wade Wilson Previous owners: Tryco Slatterus; James Madrox (Dupe); Mercs for Money Alternate owners: Dreadpool (Earth-19647); Warda Wilson (Earth-16356); Peter Wisdom (Earth-10005); Victor von Doom (Earth-11638) Notes: Like many costumes and equipment used by the heroes and villains of the multiverse, any appearance of Deadpool will likely feature an appearance of the Suit so not all appearances are listed.; Deadpool's Suit has a resemblance to Spider-Man's Suit which even he has noticed the similarities. Trivia: The belt has a buckle with the "Deadpool Symbol" on it. History: ==Prime Marvel Universe Wade Wilson==; ===Main Costume===; Deadpool wears a red and black full body tactical suit in order to hide the cancer scars that cover his entire body.

The suit also has two holsters on his back to house his katanas. Deadpool also used to wear a teleporter on his wrist.; Wade Wilson (Earth-616) from Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Master Edition Vol 1 25 0001.jpg; ===X-Force Uniform===; When Deadpool joined the X-Force, he wore a version of his costume using the black & white color palette of the team.; Wade Wilson (Earth-616) from Wolverine Road to Hell Vol 1 1 0001.jpg; ===X-Uniform===; When Deadpool joined the X-Men, he wore a variation of their Yellow and Black Uniform with X-Men written across the chest.

He created a suit for each member based on his own, each in a different color. Walter Newell's suit was also equipped with features from his own original suit, allowing him to fly.; Deadpool Vol 5 4 Textless.png; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; ===Earth-41578 (Original X-Men Timeline)===; On Earth-41578, Deadpool/Weapon XI (Wade Wilson) did not wear his classic suit, although his first tactical suit had the similar color scheme.; Wade Wilson (Earth-41578) 002.jpg; ===Earth-10005 (New X-Men Timeline)===; On Earth-10005 (and by extension, Earth-41633), Wade went through various costumes before going with the classic Deadpool suit.

The players had the objective to eliminate whichever targets were displayed on the screen. The app used the accelerometer of the user's device for the controls. The player controlled the drone's targeting by moving a reticle around the screen. Once the target reticle lighted up, tapping the screen enabled to open fire. Ammo levels and gun heat levels were displayed in the status at the bottom of the screen.; For the most part, this was the case. Out of the app's concurrent players, a fraction was used to control whichever amount of Wingman Drones Hammer Industries wanted to deploy. These players selected randomly received real-time streaming battlefield data and became Detroit Steel's air support in real life. If any of the users got knocked offline, another random user would connect. The process was totally anonymous and untraceable. Notes: The app's official description was the following: "Now you can be Detroit Steel's wingman in a seemingly infinite number of deadly missions around the world. Provide air support and wipe out enemy forces on the ground while Detroit Steel makes the world safe for liberty." History: The Detroit Steel app was developed by Hammer Industries so to have real people control their drones while making them believe they were simply playing a video game. Justine Hammer first tested the app by having her daughter Sasha hold a meeting with a group of unsuspecting beta testers. For this run, the app was only used to fly the drones around and crash them into targets placed in a desert to test accuracy. A second small test was run when the app went live.; The app was first used for its purpose during the demonstration of Stark Resilient's repulsor car, with a swarm of drones being used to attack the race track in Seattle where it took place. Iron Man and War Machine worked out on taking down the drones, drawing fire and providing cover while Rescue provided assistance on evacuation. Iron Man lured the drones on a chase while Stark Resilient tried to hack into the regional cell-networks. Hammer's plan was foiled before expected, as Maria Hill intervened and used her authority to shut down all cellular communication in the area. ============================================================ De Vermis Mysteriis Kind: item Page: De Vermis Mysteriis Formal name: De Vermis Mysteriis Other aliases: The Vermis Mysteriis; Vermis Mysterii; De Vermis Mysterius; De Vermis Mysterii; DeVermis Mysteries; The Mysteries of the Worm Type: Magical Book First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 2 3 Created by: Robert Bloch; Ron Goulart Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Ludvig Prinn Current owner: Possibly the Shambler from the Stars; unnamed private library in Unity; New England Previous owners: Robert; unnamed book-shop, cultist of Set in Novara Notes: De Vermis Mysteriis, or The Mysteries of the Worm, is a fictional book created by Robert Bloch in The Shamblers from the Stars (1935), adapted in Journey Into Mystery Vol 2 3 (February, 1973), and incorporated by H.P.

The Doomsday Chair, in addition to providing structural support for M.O.D.O.K.'s frame, also magnifies his psionic capabilities to the Nth degree. Though primarily a self-sufficient device, the Doomsday Chair can also be connected to a special energy cradle that provides it with an endless supply of power. Empowering both the chair and the cradle requires massive amounts of energy. Charging it up once caused the entire city of Los Angeles to black out.; Following M.O.D.O.K.'s de-powering, a clone of him named M.O.D.O.K. Superior surfaced. This clone was equipped with a different version of the Doomsday Chair, one which used a set of four mechanical legs as its main form of transportation rather than rockets.

When Loki took possession of the ring, he became the undisputed ruler of Asgard. Perhaps boosted psychologically by the ring, the god of mischief was able to fight off the attacks of his brother Thor (even though Thor had always defeated him in the past). The Odin Ring caused Loki to become ill and age. In order to save himself, Loki cast the ring away to be retrieved by Odin.

Possessing a doomlock turns one into an "invariable", allowing one to go back in time to change the present, instead of creating alternate ones. It is based in a nanobot charge introduced intravenously. Notes: Because a Doomlock must be bonded to a person, they can only be used by partially cybernetic organisms. History: The Doomlock was created by Doctor Doom as a way to affect the present with time travel.; While in the future, one of Multiple Man's dupes was abducted by captured by Tryp and Anthony Falcone. Tryp and Falcone then made massive alterations to him and added cybernetic modification to turn him into a Doomlock.

Cortex was eventually defeated and thrown into one of Trevor Fitzroy's portals.; Using a Doomlock can severely damage Space-Time itself. Black Panther explained that much of the damage to Space-Time was due to the usage of Doomlocks. ============================================================ Double reverse blowback overhead-cam Orzechowski ammo feed (Earth-9047) Kind: item Page: Double reverse blowback overhead-cam Orzechowski ammo feed Formal name: Double reverse blowback overhead-cam Orzechowski ammo feed Type: Firearm First appearance: What The--?!

Dum-E helped him make the element. Afterward, Dum-E was tasked to clean up the mess that the new element's creation caused.; Over time Tony built several similar robot assistants to help him in his workshop as well.

It is a dust created by Red Skull with an unknown chemical composition, that kills his prey by making contact with the victim's skin, causing the skin on the victim's head to tighten, shrivel, and take on a red discoloration, while at the same time causing all the hair on the victim's head to fall out; as a result, the victim's corpse appears to have a "red skull"/"masque of the red death" for a head. The Red Skull would many times dispense "the dust of death" from a large cigarette holder, while appearing to have been smoking a cigarette immediately before blowing the "dust" at his intended victim. The Skull could also fire his "dust of death" from a special handgun. While committing murders with this weapon, the Skull often hummed, whistled, or played a tape recording of Chopin's funeral march, which was also the Skull's trademark music when he committed murders in the early 1940's. ============================================================ Dusk's Suit Kind: item Page: Dusk's Suit Formal name: Dusk's Suit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Spider-Man Vol 1 90 Created by: Howard Mackie; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Negative Zone Lead designer: Negativer Zoners Additional designers: Spider-Man Place of creation: Negative Zone Current owner: Cassie St. Commons Previous owners: Spider-Man; K'choqtoc Dusk II; K'choqtoc Dusk I Properties: The Dusk Suit allows the user to become virtually invisible in the shadows and glide short distances.; After Cassie St. Commons died while wearing the suit, she returned with new powers: teleportation, Darkforce Manipulation and clairvoyance, but it is unknown if they originated from her, or from the costume's origin in Negative Zone or from some other source.

The Dusk title had been passed down to the group's greatest warriors to act as a symbol of freedom for their people. However the latest person to take up the mantle had been killed shortly after Spidey's arrival. At the rebels' request, Spidey wore the costume and led the rebels to victory. Spider-Man was allowed to take the suit home with him.; ===Spider-Man===; When Spider-Man was accused of murder he donned several different costumes to disguise his identity so that he could continue saving lives. One of the personas that he adopted was Dusk. As Dusk, he pretended to be a mercenary with a quiet and serious personality. He teamed up with Trapster, who had in fact framed him for murder under Norman Osborn's orders by using a duplicate of Spider-Man's webbing to kill a small-time crook called Joey Z. After helping the Trapster escape an attack from the Shocker, Trapster and Dusk became regular allies, taking out some of Osborn's various criminal activities across the city. Although Dusk failed to record a confrontation between Trapster and Osborn where Osborn admitted his role in the murder, he was able to convince the Trapster that the best way to hurt Osborn now was to admit his role in framing Spider-Man for Joey Z's murder. Peter used all four of his new identities to confuse his foes and to contradict speculation that the new heroes were all, in fact, the same person. Once he had cleared his name, he abandoned all of his new personas.; ===Cassie St. Commons===; The golden age hero Black Marvel acquired the four costumes. He then proceeded to give them to four youngsters forming a team that he named Slingers. Lyons provided Cassie St. Commons with the costume and identity of Dusk. She accepted, but had to undertake an "initiation" into the group by making a heroic leap across the rooftop of one building and land on another. While her teammates, Prodigy, Ricochet, and Hornet were all able to make the jump, she did not. When the others were distracted, Cassie did not actually jump, but instead purposefully fell to her death.; ===Rebirth===; But Cassie was reborn, no longer dead, but not truly alive. She was Dusk. She found that she could teleport anywhere in a swirl of shadows, and she had some kind of psychic awareness that enabled her to feel her teammates. When she returned, her fellow Slingers were shocked to see their friend back from the dead. ============================================================ Earth Idol of Golthana Kind: item Page: Earth Idol of Golthana Formal name: Earth Idol of Golthana Type: Idol First appearance: Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Avengers Vol 1 2 Created by: Jonathan Maberry; Leandro Fernández Reality: Earth-11080 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Place of creation: Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom History: The Doomstones were devices created by Doctor Doom through a combination of science and alchemy during the global plague that infected the Earth's population. Doom initially presented them as a means of suppressing the plague and preventing those who wore them from succumbing to its effects.; Doomstones were embedded in or placed upon infected and uninfected individuals, allowing the plague within their bodies to remain dormant. When a genetic change occurred, the stones changed color, providing an indication of the wearer's condition. Doom claimed that the stones could be used to save humanity after he was made Emperor of Earth.; The true purpose of the Doomstones was considerably more sinister. Their alchemical properties allowed Doom to alter the psyche of their wearers and manipulate the plague within their bodies. This enabled infected individuals to retain their humanity while suppressing their cannibalistic urges, but also allowed Doom to activate the stones and transform their wearers into cannibals under his control. Once activated, a Doomstone could cause the wearer to become an extension of Doom's will.; Daken was among those subjected to the treatment. His Doomstone rewrote his DNA sufficiently to negate the plague's effects and preserve his humanity, but the process left him mentally incapacitated, with a childlike personality. Doom subsequently distributed the stones among the population of New York City, including members of the Avengers, while claiming that they would protect the population from the plague.; The stones were eventually revealed to be part of Doom's plan to control New York. After Hawkeye discovered Doom's true intentions, Doom activated the Doomstones worn by the Avengers and other survivors. Those whose stones turned red immediately succumbed to their predatory instincts and became cannibals, while remaining under Doom's influence. Almost the entire population of New York, including the Avengers, had already been fitted with the devices.; Following Doom's death at Hawkeye's hands, the Doomstones remained responsible for the infected population's transformation and the collapse of the Avengers. ============================================================ Doom 2099 Armor (Earth-928) Kind: item Page: Doom 2099 Armor Formal name: Doom 2099 Armor Type: Technology; Armor First appearance: Doom 2099 Vol 1 1 Created by: John Francis Moore; Pat Broderick Reality: Earth-928 Origin: Doctor Doom's Armor Lead designer: Victor von Doom Additional designers: Dr. Celia Quinones (first armor), Billy Zedd (third armor) Place of creation: Pixel Corp base in Isla Lobos de Afuera, Peru (first armor), Halo City (third armor) Place of destruction: White House (second armor) Previous owners: Victor von Doom Alternate owners: Victor von Doom, Doctor Doom Properties: The first armor was built from adamantium lanxide.

Doom went to a facility belonging to Pixel, he convinced Dr. Celia Quinones to implant nanoids into his bloodstream as means of improving his neural and motor responses.; ===First Armor===; After the operation Doom used the facility's resources to build a new armor capable of making full use of his new abilities.; ===Second Armor===; Doom's second armor actually preceded his "first."

Protective force fields could also be created. Furthermore, the suit was capable of healing injuries to both itself and its wearer.; The suit flew incredibly fast via "slipstream" and was naturally suited for interstellar travel.; The suit possess advanced hacking capabilities by directly "interrogating" the target technology, also being able to do It remotely by creating "data-thief" drones.; The armor could produce remote drones (referred to as "unskinning") that were capable of morphing into weapons, probes and other devices as the owner desired. A set of small rotating weapon drones routinely fly around the right gauntlet while a large cannon was mounted on the left. The normal energy produced was a form of plasma. However, it could also produce other energies and frequencies such as concussive force, accelerated particle beams, and even alpha waves to make an opponent fall asleep.

In combat, they sing a 'battle hymn.' Those that bonded with the Warwear had mandala-like markings. The suit was once used to fight against a group of the Brood.; After losing his original armor, Jim Rhodes was directed to the location of the Eidolon Warwear by Skye. He found himself forced to wear it when they came under the attack of a Lictor, and kept using the suit until he destroyed it in order to prevent anyone else from replicating it. ============================================================ Ebony Blade Kind: item Page: Ebony Blade Formal name: Ebony Blade Other aliases: Chaos the Doombringer; The Cursed Black Sword; Dark Sword; Ebon Blade; Ebony Sword; The Dane Curse; Midnight Blade; Sword of Might Type: Unique Sword First appearance: Black Knight Vol 1 1 Created by: Stan Lee; Joe Maneely Reality: Earth-616; Earth-374 Origin: Magical; Otherworld; Arthurian Lead designer: Merlin Additional designers: Sir Percy Place of creation: Acheron Current owner: Dane Whitman; Jacks Chopra Previous owners: Sir Reginald; Sir Percy of Scandia; Knights Templar; unnamed Black Knights; Eobar Garrington; Augustine du Lac; Mister E; Black Panther; Malekith; Captain Britain; Serse; Sir Raston; Bloodwraith Alternate owners: Proctor; Conan (Earth-21924) Material: Starstone (Merlin) Weight: 50 lbs Properties: ===Composition===; The sorcerer Merlin came upon a strange black ore called the Starstone, apparently the site of a fallen meteor. He had Sir Percy forge the Ebony Blade, Ebony Chalice, the Ebony Shield, and the Ebony Staff out of the strange material, using his magic to empower them. When Percy chose the sword, Merlin cast the other items into the river Acheron but the Ebony Staff was secretly retrieved by Mordred before it could be consigned to the Underworld and reforged into the Ebony Dagger.; Centuries later, Mordred was able to use the blood of his last remaining relatives to restore the Acheron so that he could retrieve the Ebony Shield from it but the Ebony Chalice was no longer there. Soon afterwards, the Ebony Chalice was found in Listeneise and claimed by Dane Whitman.; ===Powers===; Forged as a dark counterpart to Excalibur, the Ebony Blade is a mystical sword of great power but bears a terrible curse, one that feeds on and exacerbates the negative aspects of its handler to feed its power, making both it and them stronger. According to the dark god Knull, the Ebony Blade is a symbiotic divine weapon with the potential to destroy worlds, and its true power is beyond the ability of mortals to comprehend or unleash.; The Ebony Blade deflects most magical attacks. When angled in a certain way, it can instead absorb energy directed at it. It seems mostly immune to magical effects. The blade could even absorb and reflect magical attacks as powerful as Zeus' lightning bolt.; It can cut through any substance (except other enchanted weapons or extremely strong metals like Adamantium; The blade and its wielder are linked. The wielder can be transported to the blade's location through mystic ceremony, or sometimes even act of will. In a few cases Dane Whitman has been transported into the body of an ancestor to wield the blade. The wielder can also - when the sword so-chooses - telekinetically summon the blade to themselves or manipulate it in a remote fashion similar to Thor using Mjolnir.; Merlin has enchanted the blade so that its wielder can be injured, but not killed. The one exception is when the wielder is attacked by a weapon forged from the same starstone as the blade (such as the dagger Merlin himself crafted). Sir Reginald once stated it also gives it's wielder healing abilities to complement this facet.; According to Merlin, the link between blade and wielder means that evil acts committed by the wielder can taint the blade. If used to spill too much blood in evil acts, it will begin to crave blood, and induce the wielder to kill even more. If enough blood is shed the wielder becomes the Bloodwraith. Only a worthy person can resist it. Dane Whitman once cleansed the blade of the taint accumulated over the years by casting it into the Brazier of Truth, but it could become tainted if used for evil again. Knull refutes this, saying that from its forging the Ebony Blade was only able be wielded by those impure of heart and only brings out what was already inside them, with the sword's power increasing the more evil its wielder is.; The Ebony Blade of a different universe's iteration of the Black Knight could be used to fire energy pulses and convert their flying stallions into corrupted skeletal versions of themselves alongside its wielder. Dane has used it to emit devastating pulse blasts and unleash area-of-effect discharges powerful enough to level wide ranges.; Users of the Ebony Blade cannot be felled by their own weapon, when another user tries to strike them down it'll barely penetrate the skin.; In the hands of Bloodwraith the blade is shown to have the proclivity to feed upon lost souls in order to increase the curse's power. Such an effect caused it's wielder to grow to monolithic proportions gaining incalculable strength and durability; When its full power is unleashed, the Ebony Blade encases its wielder in a suit of black armor manifested from its dark essence. Allowing it's wielder to fly about in a shroud of malefic intent.; As the result of one of Merlin's enchantments, the Ebony Blade is able to resurrect its wielder so long as they are a member of King Arthur's bloodline and are holding onto it when they die. However, being resurrected in this manner has a negative psychological impact on the wielder, making them more susceptible to their inner darkness.; Dane once used (unconsciously) the black sword to block mental intrusion by psychics. Synapse described trying to read his mind with the weapon in hand as trying to probe a curtain of infinite black.; It can use some kind of untapped magical power in order to open doorways between dimensions.; The Ebony Blade, when sufficiently fueled by the users murderous rage, can further strengthen and empower the weaponer to incredible extents.; With proper hexations cast upon it, the Ebony Blade can act as a tracker that enables it to find other artifacts that were similarly created through the Starstone material. Acting as a supernatural compass that leads its wielders adjacent Ebony items.; ==Known wielders==; In addition to the various Black Knights, and Black Panther, who have owned the Ebony Blade, the following people have used the Blade at some point:; Valkyrie; Namor (used it to "kill" Marrina); Ares; Bloodwraith (Sean Dolan); Morgan Le Fay (used it to kill Andromeda); Sersi; Proctor wielded his world's version. Notes: The Ebony Blade was originally referred to as the Black Blade. Merlin created the weapon to be a worthy magical counterpart to King Arthur's Excalibur.; Even before the blade became cursed from the blood it was used to spill by Sir Percy, possessing it would drive the wielder insane.; Although the spirit of Sir Percy originally told Dane Whitman that Merlin had created the Ebony Blade, it was later revealed that it was Percy himself who had actually forged the sword and three other items from the Starstone at Merlin's direction. This was disregarded by Symbiote Spider-Man: King in Black Vol 1 3 and King in Black: Black Knight Vol 1 1, which depicted Merlin as having forged the Ebony Blade by himself, but Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade Vol 1 1 reaffirmed that it was Percy who forged the Ebony Blade.; In Namor, the Sub-Mariner Vol 1 60-61, the soul of Namor ended up in an ethereal realm of darkness within the Ebony Blade after the Blood Wraith used it to kill him. While there, Namor encountered the souls of some of the people who had recently been killed by the Ebony Blade, including Victoria Bentley and Marrina. Also present were Sir Percival, Sean Dolan and a "dark brigade" of undead demon-knights. Victoria explained that a battle for control of Dolan's soul was fought between good and evil within that inner dimension whenever he drew the sword. Morgan Le Fey subsequently used the Ebony Blade to kill Andromeda whose soul also entered that realm. Andromeda warned Namor that the army of the dead was being controlled by Marrina who wanted to keep him there against his will but that he could yet return to life through the band of light that still connected her to Life. Namor did so and was restored to life within his body while Marrina's soul, which he had taken with him, was finally free. However, since Andromeda's soul had to remain within the sword, her host body was now controlled by the soul of its original occupant, Genevieve Cross, who had to deal with the fact that her body was now that of a water-breathing blue-skinned Atlantean.; Later stories have largely ignored this storyline. Although Victoria Bentley and the ethereal realm within the Ebony Blade have not been seen since, Sir Percival's spirit was next seen advising Dane Whitman in Weirdworld and Andromeda, whose Atlantean form was controlled by Cross in Namor, the Sub-Mariner Vol 1 62, was seen to be back in control of her body in subsequent appearances. No explanation for how the latter two spirits apparently escaped that inner realm have been presented.; T'Challa and Captain Britain wielding the sword contradicts the later lore that only the impure of heart can wield it. History: ===Sir Percy of Scandia / Black Knight===; Merlin gave the enchanted sword to Sir Percy of Scandia, the "first" Black Knight although he was the ninth person to wield it, directly after King Arthur's cousin Sir Reginald. Merlin claimed that the Ebony Blade had acquired a curse because of all the blood that Sir Percy shed with it; but in-truth the Ebony Blade merely brought out Sir Percy's repressed rage, bloodlust, and psychosis - traits inherited by many of his bloodline. Following the death of Sir Percy his son found the sword and vowed to wield it like his father. The sword was passed down through the centuries by Percy's descendants. No matter how noble the person the sword would eventually corrupt the wielder.; ===Medieval period / Knights Templar===; The Ebony Blade was wielded by Knights Templar for over 600 years, many of them succumbing to the sword's dark power.; ===Dane Whitman / Black Knight===; The sword passed down through the generations until it finally came to Dane Whitman, Sir Percy's descendant, who used the blade for many years.; Soon after the first Secret Wars, the Ebony Blade was stolen by Mister E -- an entity of living darkness that had been created by the dark god Knull -- who believed it could be used to harm his master.; It passed briefly to Valkyrie when Dane's body was turned to stone, and his soul sent back in time to the 13th century, but was soon returned to him. Later, the blade was broken by an entity called the Iron Ogre, but was eventually reforged and returned to Whitman by Merlin. Due to the curse, Dane eventually gave the Ebony Blade up, driving it deep into the same meteor it was forged from and hiding it in his castle, where he assumed only another deemed "worthy" would be able to withdraw it.; ===Sean Dolan / Bloodwraith===; Sean Dolan, Dane's ex-squire, was able to draw the blade during an attack on Whitman's castle, but succumbed to its power and transformed into the Bloodwraith.; Dolan fought with the curse, and was able to give up the sword for a brief time. During this time, it was trapped in the Negative Zone barrier outside of Attilan. In the meantime, a second Ebony Blade had been brought into Earth-616 by Proctor. When Proctor was killed, his blade was taken into Avengers custody.; Dolan was drawn to the second Ebony Blade and once again became Bloodwraith. Crystal retrieved the original Ebony Blade, and the Vision threatened to destroy it if Bloodwraith didn't surrender. Bloodwraith tossed the alternate Blade aside and reclaimed his own. Crystal picked up the second Blade, claiming it would be important to the future of the Inhumans. Bloodwraith was last known to have the Blade in his possession in Slorenia, where he was trapped by the Scarlet Witch.; ===Augustine du Lac / Vatican's Black Knight===; The Ebony Blade was reclaimed by the Vatican's "Black Knight", Augustine du Lac, -- a descendant of Lancelot -- in a Vampire nest in Iraq that had been flattened by the Opus Dei.; As the Black Knight, Augustine wielded the Ebony Blade during his attempted invasion of Wakanda along with Klaw, but he was defeated and the Ebony Blade was confiscated by the Black Panther.; ===Black Panther===; Brian Braddock later tried to claim the sword from T'Challa during a meeting as part of the British legacy, but T'Challa refused to return of the weapon, later using it against Iron Man's attack in front of the White House. T'Challa was actually waiting for Dane Whitman to return it, suspecting that others would have tried to save him from it while T'Challa himself believed that those who shouldered great responsibilities must make such decisions themselves.; ===Returned to Dane Whitman===; After Dane Whitman learned that the sword he was using was not the Ebony Blade (which was seemingly part of a scheme of Dracula) and that the real one was in Wakanda, he begged an audience with the Wakandan Queen Ororo who, at his request, returned the Ebony Blade to him.; The Ebony Blade's power later began to affect Whitman, making him increasingly violent in his dealings with criminals. Eventually, as the blade's power continued to increase, Whitman lost control and killed the criminal Carnivore, then fled to Weirdworld. The Avengers Unity Division followed him and managed to take the Ebony Blade away from him but it quickly corrupted Commander Rogers until Whitman was able to convince Rogers that it belonged with him.; ===Stolen by Malekith===; During the War of the Realms, Malekith defeated Dane Whitman in combat and took the Ebony Blade for himself, delighted by its blood curse. When attacked by Venom, Malekith read the symbiote's memories to learn of Knull and used the Ebony Blade to subdue it, casting the cursed sword aside in favor of turning the Venom symbiote into his own version of All-Black the Necrosword. The sword was later wielded by Captain Britain.; ===King in Black===; As the primordial dark god Knull descended upon the Earth with intent to conquer and slaughter the light of the universe, Dane Whitman battled one of his Symbiote Dragons over London when Knull dispatched it to claim the Ebony Blade for himself. Dane managed to incapacitate the symbiote-dragon but lost his grip on the Ebony Blade and crash-landed in Shanghai, China, where Aero and Sword Master were battling the Symbiote God's forces.; When one of Knull's symbiote-dragons latched onto Dane, the dark god gained knowledge of the Ebony Blade's history and revealed the truth of its curse to him - that the fits of bloodlust and rage were his own inner darkness, which the Ebony Blade fed on, and that the cursed sword was at its most could only be wielded by someone impure of heart. This revelation left Dane devastated that Merlin and Sir Percy had lied to him, and that the flaws and psychosis he'd blamed on the sword had been his inner darkness all along. Sensing that Dane was at his lowest point, the Ebony Blade returned to him - although he had a crisis of conscience and initially refused to wield it until he saw Aero and Sword Master struggling against Knull's avatar. Regaining his resolve to use his inner darkness as a force for good, Dane took up the Ebony Blade and unleashed its dark power against Knull.; ===Curse of the Ebony Blade===; While Dane was assisting the Avengers, Mordred Pendragon decapitated him with the Ebony Dagger and attempted to take the Ebony Blade from his corpse before being chased off by the Avengers. After Dane's corpse was returned to Garrett Castle, the Ebony Blade resurrected him. Investigating the history of the Ebony Relics with begrudging help from Elsa Bloodstone, Percy, and Arthurian scholar Jacks Chopra - secretly his daughter - discovered that Merlin had lied about the history of the Ebony Relics and orchestrated Camelot's downfall to cover up his dark secrets.; Gaining knowledge of Mordred's plot, Dane forfeited the Ebony Blade to prevent it from turning him into a monster and allowed Mordred to fatally wound him. Jacks took up the Ebony Blade and attempted to avenge him, but was killed by Mordred - who forged the other relics into the Ebony Crown. The Ebony Blade resurrected Jacks - revealing her to be Dane's long-lost daughter - and she and Elsa managed to dispatch the would-be king, thus enabling Dane to resurrect through his cousin's regalia. Dane and Jacks then decided to split the curse of the Ebony Blade between them by taking turns operating as the Black Knight.; Dane eventually melted the Ebony Blade into the Ebon Siege, claiming that its side effects outweighed its usefulness. It's unknown if he actually did it on his own volition, or Doctor Doom made him do it while possessing Dane, as Mr. Fantastic had thought of using the Blade to cut through Doom's magical barrier that surrounded Latveria. ============================================================ Ebony Dagger Kind: item Page: Ebony Dagger Formal name: Ebony Dagger Type: Unique Throwing Dagger First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 17 Created by: Roy Thomas; Howard Purcell Origin: Magical; Otherworld; Arthurian Lead designer: Merlin Additional designers: Morgan Le Fay Place of creation: Earth, England, Camelot Current owner: Mordred Previous owners: Paul Richarde Properties: The weapon is enchanted to slay the owner of the Ebony Blade, and just as indestructible as it blade counterpart. History: Merlin used the fallen Starstone to create the four magical items: a sword, a shield, a staff, and a chalice, then offered Sir Percy of Scandia to pick any one for his own. Sir Percy chose the sword and became the Black Knight, and Merlin cast a spell to destroy the others. Before Merlin's spell could be completed, Mordred intervened and stole the Ebony Staff. He used this staff to create the Ebony Dagger, the only weapon that could slay the current wielder of the Ebony Sword.; When King Arthur retreated to Castle Scandia, Sir Percy was informed by Merlin and gave chase. He arrived too late, seeing that Arthur had being slain already, fighting against Mordred's knights. While Percy felt the presence of Mordred who was ready to kill him, Merlin showed him a vision of world were Camelot became corrupted and Percy understood his death was needed. Mordred then slayed him with the Ebony Dagger.; Centuries later, the spirit of Mordred empowered the once knife throwing expert Paul Richarde, with a flying gargoyle and armor, sending him to kill Dane Whitman, the latest Black Knight. During a crucial moment to strike, the dagger fell from Paul Richarde's hand and was lost in the fight.; It was later melted down to form part of the Ebony Crown, and then reforged again to form the Ebon Siege. ============================================================ Electro-Stunner Sword Kind: item Page: Electro-Stunner Sword Formal name: Electro-Stunner Sword Type: Sword First appearance: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 2 Created by: Ralph Macchio; Jim Mooney Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Current owner: Rapier History: The Electro-Stunner Sword was used as the primary weapon of Rapier.

He asked on his knees for the Ebon Rose, and she asked to see his eyes, which he was reluctant to show. She bade him leave, and called her Lady Le Fay, which enraged her. She realized he was surrounded by magic which made his voice resemble Merlin’s. Appreciating his brazenness and duplicity, she told him where to find the Ebon Rose. In the center of the deathly-silent, Morgan’s scorched-Earth battle with Merlin, Ian McNee found the rose. Watching him, Morgan said they would meet again, if he survived what came next.; He gave Nagala pause when he mentioned to Ebon Rose in his possession, a sister artifact to the Serpent Crown.

When the dying Never Queen returned, Glorian once again gave the sword to Zed so he could finish her off, but the Silver Surfer managed to take the sword and stabbed Zed with it.; Eventually, the sword came into the possession of the Griever at the End of All Things. Since the Griever could not move through realities on her own, she used the Edge of Reality to tear open a path to Lotkill and killed the Scarlet Witch.

It was designed particularly to disable the Human Torch, as it would prevent him from using his powers even if he was not knocked unconscious. Doom built 12 of these guns and provided them to his Servo-Guards in Latveria.; At one point, when the Fantastic Four entered Latveria, Doom received them with specially-prepared Servo-Guards with specialized weapons to capture each of them. The guard capturing the Human Torch used the Electro-Shock Pistol. Mr. Fantastic then snatched the Pistol and used it against the guards - but the guards protected themselves with another of Doom's contraptions, the Insulato-Shield. ============================================================ Electronic Shackle Kind: item Page: Electronic Shackle Formal name: Electronic Shackle Other aliases: Wrist Shackles Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 196 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Trivia: The book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 mistakenly lists this item's first appearance as Fantastic Four Vol 1 198, while it was really Fantastic Four Vol 1 196; While Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 describes the device as a wrist-sized band, its appearance in Fantastic Four #198 is much bigger, holding both wrists of the Thing together. History: Doctor Doom designed this metallic bracelet to use it on superpowered prisoners. When the device was cuffed around a captive's wrist and that person tried to use any kind of superpower, then the device released electric impulses causing intense pain on the victim's body. Only people with great willpower were able to resist this pain and use their skills. Doom had not less than twelve units available at Castle Doom.; Doctor Doom's clone once used these device on three of the Fantastic Four: Human Torch, Invisible Girl and the Thing; the fourth member, Mr. Fantastic, had lost his powers at that point and could only help by identifying the technology; besides, he was quickly relocated. Both the Thing and the Torch proved unable to overcame the pain. The Invisible Girl, however, was able to sabotage the shackle with a very thin force field and the exact pressure. Once free herself, she released her partners from the shackles. Unfortunately, when they tried to escape their cell, they were recaptured by Doom himself.; Doom restrained them with different bindings but resumed the Electronic Shackles when taking them to Latveria, where the Thing again tried vainly to overcome the shackles. He removed the Shackles when leading the priosners to a Power Transference Machine. ============================================================ Electro-Neumonic Scrambler Kind: item Page: Electro-Neumonic Scrambler Formal name: Electro-Neumonic Scrambler Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 247 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: The Electro-Neumonic Scrambler was a hand-held device that Doom could use to disable a team of nearby Servo-Guards.

Doom and the Fantastic Four first fought the Servo-Guards and, after a few minutes, Doom used the Scrambler to render the robots unusable. Doom refused to reveal why he had waited to use the Scrambler - it may have been due to a limitation of the device. ============================================================ Earth-Shaker Kind: item Page: Earth-Shaker Formal name: Earth-Shaker Type: Technology First appearance: Nova Vol 1 5 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tyrannus Place of creation: Subterranea Current owner: Tyrannus History: Nova destroyed the Earth-Shaker device. ============================================================ Electronic Energizer Kind: item Page: Electronic Energizer Formal name: Electronic Energizer Type: Technology First appearance: Astonishing Tales Vol 1 3 Created by: Larry Lieber; Wally Wood Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed this device that could nullify personal force fields used by some enemies for protection purposes. Doom used it once against the alien Faceless One, who was invading Castle Doom. Doom and his minion Doomsman confronted the Faceless One; the Doomsman knocked down a column so that the ceiling fell on the alien; but the alien's force field precluded any damage from it. Doom then used the Electronic Energizer to cancel the force field, then pummeled the Faceless One with boulder-size projectiles sent from his Intensified Molecule Projector. ============================================================ Electronic Harpoon Kind: item Page: Electronic Harpoon Formal name: Electronic Harpoon Type: Spear First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 3 Created by: Jim Shooter; George Evans Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed this air-to-land weapon to be shot against human-sized targets from any hovering vehicle.

Shark's ally Doctor Dorcas, being not Doom's peer by far, was unable to understand all the details of this relatively simple item; but he understood enough to be able to destroy it. Shark started recovering from that moment. ============================================================ Electronic Spy Kind: item Page: Electronic Spy Formal name: Electronic Spy Other aliases: Mechanical Spy-Eye Type: Technology First appearance: Hero for Hire Vol 1 8 Created by: Steve Englehart; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: The electronic spy is so inconspicuous that it does not even feature in any panel! Its appearance is unknown. History: When a number of Doctor Doom's Robotic Subjects rebelled against his rule and escaped to New York City adopting the identity of black men, the Latverian Embassy discreetly hired Afro-American super-powered private detective Luke Cage to find the fugitives. Doom also sent an inconspicuous "Electronic Spy" to follow Cage. Cage indeed found the robots and confronted them; the robots escaped but unbeknown to them, the Electronic Spy followed them to their new hideout and reported it to Doom. Cage went to Doom for explanations, and Doom was delighted to point the fugitives' new shelter. The Electronic Spy followed Cage again to register his absolute victory against the rebels, and reported it to the Embassy. ============================================================ Electro-Biochemical System Kind: item Page: Electro-Biochemical System Formal name: Electro-Biochemical System Type: Technology First appearance: Hero for Hire Vol 1 1 Created by: Archie Goodwin; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Noah Burstein Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Dr. Burstein worked for the United States Army as a surgeon in Vietnam where his experiments produced the C.I.A. operative Warhawk.; Later looking for test subjects at Seagate Prison he recruited Carl Lucas as a volunteer for experimental cell regeneration based on a variant of the Super-Soldier process he had previously used to empower Warhawk. Dr. Burstein immersed Lucas in an electrical field conducted by an organic chemical compound; when he left Lucas unattended, prison guard Albert Rackham misused the experiment's controls, hoping to maim or kill Lucas. Lucas's treatment was accelerated past its intent, inducing body-wide enhancement that gave him superhuman strength and durability.; Bushmaster kidnapped Dr Burstein, forcing him to mutate him as he had Cage, but was nonetheless defeated and soon became paralyzed by the process. Bushmaster later turned into a metal-like substance and failed to find a way to reverse the process that gave him and Cage their powers, leaving him immobilized. Cruz McIver, the son of Bushmaster, after gaining confidence that the process wouldn't kill him like the other subjects, augmented himself using his father, but his plan backfired and only granted more power to his father who used that power to kill his own son and also drain Iron Fist of his powers, but the absorption and accumulation of so much power was too great and he exploded. ============================================================ Electro-Lance (Earth-7642) Kind: item Page: Electro-Lance Formal name: Electro-Lance Type: Spear First appearance: Marvel and DC Present featuring The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans Vol 1 1 Created by: Chris Claremont; Walt Simonson Reality: Earth-7642 Previous owners: Ravok the Ravager History: The Electro-Lance was used by Ravok the Ravager to defeat Raven. ============================================================ Ego Gem (Earth-93060) Kind: item Page: Ego Gem Formal name: Ego Gem Type: Infinity Stone First appearance: Eliminator Vol 1 3 Created by: Hank Kanalz; Mike Zeck Reality: Earth-93060 Origin: One of the Infinity Gems Place of creation: Earth-616 Place of destruction: Earth-93060 Previous owners: Mannequin; Sersi; Nemesis Model: Unique History: In a primordial era of Earth-616, a god being with the power of Infinity committed suicide out of loneliness and its aspects split into seven Infinity Gems that could grant portions of that power to whoever held them. One of the Gems was lost to a different reality, Earth-93060, also known as the Ultraverse. While the other six carried aspects of the being's influence over external reality, this seventh Gem carried the vestiges of the being's psyche.; At some point it was encased in a slightly larger, spherical pod device through which it embedded itself in the heads of living things to forcibly possess them and direct their actions towards its unclear goals. The minds of its hosts were supplanted, though echoes remained and mixed together with the dominant personality, confusing its motivations and slowing its progress. About twenty years prior to the modern era, the pod possessed soldier of fortune Brian Marmount and from that mind absorbed a strong grudge against his ex-partner, Rick Pearson. After Marmount's death, the pod was acquired by a monk named Lao, who was killed around the same time the other Infinity Gems had found their way into the Ultraverse. The proximity of the other Gems reawakened the Ego Gem, spurring it to move its hosts more aggressively, though the corruption from the other minds it had possessed still obscured its own goals. First, it briefly reanimated the monk's corpse while it was being airlifted along with other bodies by agents of Aladdin. The zombified monk attacked the pilots, crashing the plane into the Atlantic Ocean. From there, the pod possessed a passing shark. The shark continued west and beached itself near Houston, Texas, where it was discovered by Antony Hernandez, who would become the pod's final host. Driven by Marmount's memories, Hernandez made his way to an abandoned Alamo Base, where he found a machine that was once used to turn Marmount into a cyborg and subjected himself to it, becoming the living weapon known as Mannequin. With Marmount's mind in near total control, Mannequin pursued vengeance against Pearson, now known as Eliminator. Through serendipity, Eliminator's current partner was also Antony's brother, Carlos. Carlos attempted to get through to his brother as he and Eliminator pursued Mannequin to a bridge in Chicago, where he attempted to strike through Pearson's estranged family. Mannequin didn't respond to Carlos' pleas and even killed him, enraging Eliminator into crushing Mannequin's head to end the fight. The pod fell out and rolled into the water afterwards.; Another refugee to arrive from Earth-616 at this time was Sersi, whose powers and connection to its home reality made her sensitive to the call from the Ego Gem. She flew to Chicago to retrieve the pod from the river where it had fallen, cracking it open to reveal the Gem inside. It came to rest on her forehead, and without the other personas absorbed by the pod, it recalled its original goal for the first time. Sersi retained enough of her own will to convince the Ego Gem to allow her to seek out her companion, Black Knight before finding and reuniting with the other Infinity Gems. Finding him alongside members of UltraForce and learning that the other Gems had been assembled by Loki, she attempted to use the team as pawns to retrieve the Gems. Loki's newfound power made him completely unapproachable, however, and he only toyed with the members of UltraForce while leading them to believe they were fighting for the Gems. She then came across Grandmaster, who had come to the Ultraverse looking for his lost Mind Gem, and devised another plan. Grandmaster was able to approach Loki with a challenge to a game with knowledge of the seventh Infinity Gem as his prize. His rapport with the Mind Gem made him immune to Loki's telepathy. Loki agreed to participate and won the game, but his "prize" came in the form of Sersi, who only wanted a chance to get close to Loki so the Ego Gem could merge with the other six. The Infinity Gems incarnated into a being called Nemesis, who attempted to use her creative forces to remake the two universes. Even the seven Gems together did not make a cohesive whole, however, and the Ego Gem's consciousness found itself at odds with some of the voices of the other Gems. This weakness allowed heroes of the two universes to fight back against her, and ultimately Black Knight struck a decisive blow on her crown where the Gems were stored, destroying the Ego Gem and scattering the other six in an explosion of creative force that would send everyone back where they belonged while restructuring the Ultraverse from the ground up.; The remains of the Ego Gem's essence was split among the Power, Soul, Mind, and Space Gems, allowing them each to take on autonomous living forms that shared Nemesis' malicious intents. The Time and Reality Gems, whose individual consciousnesses rebelled against the others in the interest of preserving the fabric of existence, remained in their original forms and found other hosts in the reforming Ultraverse to mitigate the chaos in Nemesis' wake.; ==Properties==; The Ego Gem's consciousness was able to partially possess beings that came into contact with it. Though they retained much of their free will, hosts were compelled to act in the Gem's interests. When joined with the other Infinity Gems, it formed the core consciousness of a cosmic being formed from their union. ============================================================ Efrits of Gondur Kind: item Page: Efrits of Gondur Formal name: Efrits of Gondur Type: Spell First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 2 12 Created by: Roy Thomas; Randy Lofficier; Jean-Marc Lofficier; Stuart Hopen; Brian Postman Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Gondur Current owner: Wandor ============================================================ Electronic Weapon Kind: item Page: Electronic Weapon Formal name: Electronic Weapon Type: Weapons First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 160 Created by: Jim Steranko Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Yellow Claw History: The Electronic Weapons were carried by a force that was invading the American East coast.

It is enchanted with the gift of indestructibility like its maker's other creations to mend and restore those of Arthurian bloodline, but the protection it boasts comes with a price to be paid, as do all things when it comes to magic. History: In the days of Camelot, Merlin tasked his ward Sir Percival with fashioning the Starstone to create the mythical Ebony relics: a sword, a shield, a staff, and a chalice, then offered their forger the choice of picking one for himself. The squire selected the sword in his desire to become a knight, so Merlin cast spells upon the blade while disposing of the other meteor-crafted artifacts back into the Pool of Blood in which they were cooled.; ===Present Day===; In a bid to rebuild Camelot in his own image, Mordred Pendragon sought out the other Ebony relics alongside the male heirs of his father King Arthur, all so he could slay them and use his kinsmens' blood to refuel the Pool for his ultimate plan to reforge them into something greater. He secured the Shield and the Dagger, previously reforged from the Staff by his own hand, which was already in his possession, but the unscrupulous successor was dismayed to find that the Ebony Chalice was nowhere to be found as the blood river had washed it away to parts unknown over the course of three millennia. ============================================================ Ebony Chalice Kind: item Page: Ebony Chalice Formal name: Ebony Chalice Type: Cup First appearance: Mystic Arcana: Black Knight Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Tom Grummett Origin: Magical; Otherworld; Arthurian Lead designer: Merlin Additional designers: Sir Percy Place of creation: Earth, England, Camelot, Pool of Blood Current owner: Merlyn, Mordred Properties: This item, beyond the enchantments of unbreakability like its sibling creations, could endow individuals with greater knowledge and understanding of current situations so as to never be caught unawares while undergoing the challenges ahead. Drinking from its toxic drink instilled knowledge of whatever it was the partaker desired to know. History: In the Sixth Century AD, Merlin sought to use a black metallic meteorite, the legendary starstone, which had fallen to Earth some three hundred years before, to craft a plethora of magic weapons/items in the defense of Camelot. He would commission a cousin of Arthur to fashion four mighty battlements out of the meteoric element with his smithing skills for the wizard to ensorcel with mighty power.; Upon the completion of his task, the archmage bade Percival choose which amongst the four he would take as his own while consigning the rest to oblivion in the Orphelus where they were once forged.; ===Modern Times===; King Arthur's wayward offspring, Mordred, would opt to seek out the rest of the ebony relics so that he might undertake his most ambitious design yet. But to do that it was first needed to refill the lake of blood with that of his father's other descendants born in the current era as scholars and Arthurian romantics teaching at institutes of higher education. To that end he would instigate a disaster in New York City so as to draw attentions of the Black Knight with the intention of stealing the Ebony Blade from him. ============================================================ Ebony Staff Kind: item Page: Ebony Staff Formal name: Ebony Staff Type: Staff First appearance: Mystic Arcana: Black Knight Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Tom Grummett Origin: Magical; Otherworld; Arthurian Lead designer: Merlin Additional designers: Sir Percy Place of creation: Earth, England, Camelot, Pool of Blood Previous owners: Merlyn, Mordred Properties: The Ebony Staff's powers are somewhat ill defined; Merlyn stated that it supported those weary with wisdom. Like all ebon regalia, the staff is enchanted to be all but unbreakable as well as grant the wielder all the natural perks that come with being of Arthur's Strain. History: When the high wizard Merlin happened upon the fallen Starstone that'd came to Earth three centuries ago, an epiphany dawned upon him to fashion the alien ore into a mighty arms which was capable of defending the realm he called home. To that end he would opt for Sir Percy of Scandia to melt down and reforge the foreign element to create four mystical supplies; that being a blade, shield, chalice, and finally a staff, from which Percy was to choose from the lot in order to take up arms under the guise of Black Knight in Camelot's defense.; With Percy taking up the sword as his signature weapon. Merlin then had the other ebony armaments destroyed so as to avoid their being used agaisnt the nation. Consigning them back into the pool they'd been cooled in; hoping the the arcane bloodwaters would wear them away in due time.; Unbeknownst to the pair at that moment, however, magics were being made to whisk away the Ebony Staff by the hand of le Fay's offspring, Mordred, who recast the staff into a dagger with which to act as the ultimate antithesis to his cousin's chosen weapon, the Ebony Blade. Mordred would go on use this weapon to kill both his nemesis and the hated father figure who had denied him the throne. ============================================================ Ebony Crown Kind: item Page: Ebony Crown Formal name: Ebony Crown Type: Crown First appearance: Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade Vol 1 4 Created by: Simon Spurrier; Sergio Dávila Origin: Magical; Otherworld; Arthurian Lead designer: Mordred Place of creation: Pool of Blood, New York, United States of America Previous owners: Mordred, Black Knight Properties: Mordred's headpiece, like all the Ebony items, is indestructible via the myriad enchantments placed upon the bygone's that went into its creation.

It pooled and maximized the superpowers of the protective, offensive, and supportive attributes of the three items' abilities they bestowed upon its wearer, as well as supplementing the newfound functions of its own. History: The wicked son of King Arthur hatched a scheme in order to rebuild his own kingdom built in the image of shadow. To that end, Mordred enlisted the powers of a Bloodstone he imparted upon a magical henchman to seek out the remaining Ebony Relics: the Ebony Blade, Ebony Shield, and Ebony Chalice.; Once all the pieces were in place, Mordred collected the paraphernalia, alongside the Ebony Dagger which he withheld, and melted them down into their composit Starstone slurry and reforged them into something more fitting of a king after cooling them in the Pool of Blood. ============================================================ Ebon Siege Kind: item Page: Ebon Siege Formal name: Ebon Siege Type: Throne First appearance: Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade Vol 1 5 Created by: Simon Spurrier; Sergio Dávila Origin: Magical; Otherworld; Arthurian Lead designer: Dane Whitman Place of creation: Pool of Blood, New York, United States of America Current owner: Dane Whitman; Jacks Chopra Properties: Dane's newest refashioning of the Starstone forged Ebony relics enables peering and even venturing into other worlds.

History: Dane, having received the insight to beat his cousin by letting go of the blackness coaxed out of him in order to usurp control over his Ebony Crown, immediately set out to expunge the legacy of relics forged through hatred and fanciful deceptions. So he remade the smelted dread into a back, arm, and headrest to adorn proper seating he could use to glimpse all possibilities; something which the insights of partaking of Ebony Chalice's tainted draught moved him to do. ============================================================ Eel-Cannon Kind: item Page: Eel-Cannon Formal name: Eel-Cannon Type: Firearm First appearance: Captain America Vol 1 163 Created by: Steve Englehart; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Eel Properties: Fires electric bolts.

Trivia: Eganrac's creation mirrors Carnage's journey for divine power, having gained power from Chthon's Darkhold, and absorbing the uru metal from the dwarves' corpses. History: To ensure that his doomed timeline didn't come to pass, Old Man Dylan Brock devised a way to win the Venom War while killing his past self. Using Doctor Doom's time-traveling technology, Old Man Dylan travelled to the past back when Spider-Man first fought Molten Man. There he confronted Molten Man and managed to extract some of his molten blood.; With the blood in his possession, Dylan went to that time's Doctor Strange to ask him for help in traveling to the Flickering Realms and meet Chthon. After passing the Elder God's test, Dylan gave him the memory of his first love, his mother, his friendships, all music he knew, his dreams at night, his sense of taste and his name, and as promised Chthon imbued the blood with his chaos magic.; Despite losing most of his personality, Dylan persevered and at his request Strange teleported him to Jotunheim where he aimlessly walked for days until encountering Loki. Dylan made a deal with the God of Mischief to help him create his weapon and in exchange Loki could have a piece of it. Loki agreed, and took him to Nidavellir where he had the dwarves forge the chaos magic-imbued blood into a weapon. Though it took some work, the dwarves were able to create two single bullets of Eganrac, a weapon able to stop Carnage once and for all.; Loki kept one of the two bullets, leaving Dylan with the other one, and with Eganrac in hand he went to the Venom War, right as his past self stabbed his father Eddie with the Codex Blade. In that moment, Meridius arrived armed with Carnage's All-Blood the Necrospear, and determined to kill Dylan threw the weapon at him. Old Man Dylan immediately shot his past self with the Eganrac bullet before All-Blood could pierce him, enveloping both him and the Venom symbiote in a golden layer and turning him into an "Anti-Carnage". All-Blood proved ineffective to the substance, and while Meridius was distracted fighting Eddie, Dylan grabbed hold of the Necrospear, enveloping it with Eganrac as well, and used it to kill Meridius for good. However, Old Man Dylan revealed to young Dylan that Eganrac was also meant to kill him and the symbiote as their victory was what doomed his now erased timeline. Soon Eganrac and All-Blood reacted violently between each other, akin to matter and anti-matter, resulting in a corruption that began killing the Venom symbiote. The symbiote immediately detached itself from Dylan to save him, and apparently perished upon being shot down by Alchemax's forces.; Thankfully, the Venom symbiote survived, having bonded to Mary Jane Watson, and some of Eganrac remained in its mass; causing the symbiote to have become partially gold in color. ============================================================ Eldur's Locket Kind: item Page: Eldur's Locket Formal name: Eldur's Locket Other aliases: Dragon's Locket Type: Locket First appearance: Thor vs. Hulk: Champions of the Universe Vol 1 3 Created by: Jeremy Whitley; Simone Buonfantino Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Eldur Previous owners: Promoter; Dreki Properties: Regeneration: The Locket allows its bearer to heal from any wound. History: The Promoter challenged the Hulk and Thor to retrieve the locket of the dragon Eldur from the Wildlands, a planet of swords and sorcery. Though both displayed remarkable feats of strength, Odinson stopped Eldur from executing her enemies after they were already beaten. For saving her soul, she gave him her mother Dreki's locket as a token of her affection.; The contest was later revealed to have been orchestrated by the Promoter specifically to obtain items that would increase her own power. Bruce Banner was able to convince the Promoter to give up her obsession with becoming strong, and she then returned the items taken in her name. ============================================================ Ebony Blade (Replica) Kind: item Page: Ebony Blade (Replica) Formal name: Ebony Blade Type: Weapon First appearance: New Excalibur Vol 1 13 Created by: Paul Cornell; John Cassaday; Leonard Kirk; Jesse Delperdang; Brian Reber Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Earth Place of creation: Earth Previous owners: Count Dracula; Black Knight; Pete Wisdom Dimensions: Length: 4' 1/2" Properties: The malignant glaive possesses many of the same traits as the spade it was modeled after, the same razor sharp indestructibility and black as pitch tendency to compel its weaponer to kill and maim and slaughter to slake its corrupting bane. Because of the vamp fang forged in upon its creation, it has an unquenchable thirst for blood.; It also has a sentience of its own, which means it can be spurred into doing things out of the norm when the wielder demands it. Such as ripping through dimensions in order to undo a wish granting spell. Beyond that said faux skien could negate and cut through most magics as easily as it could shred any material substance it was faced with. History: The story of the phony blade begins some time long before the Secret Invasion took place. Count Dracula had been scheming to take over London, England long before Empress Veranke set her sights on Earth in her mad bid for prophesied conquest, to accommodate his own ambitious scheme's Vlad Tepeś would secretly have his agents in parliament swap out said eponymous weapon wielded by The Black Knight with a fake made using one of his clansmen's own fangs.; It was never revealed as to what end that such a replica was made for, only the assumption it was planted as a means of debilitating one of the United Kingdom's staunchest ally's before moving in on their new mark like they'ed intended with its other superpowered defenders.; Dane would wield his false blade for a time while he ran with New Excalibur, but would soon come to realize his signature weapon was a fake after serious use.; Seeking to find out how and why his treasured familial artifice had been replaced, Mr. Whitman would soon forget what he held even was a knockoff of the real thing until he'd gotten a reminder during Dracula's onslaught. Dane as his alter ego, would utilize his believed to be hereditary ceremonial armament to do battle with Veranke's Super Skrulls and their empiric incursion as they began laying siege to the capital city of Britannia.; Proceeding that major conflagration of interspecial war, he would cater it with him as his squire would escort her liege to home sweet home to meet the parents. They would soon be called to action by the team in accordance with Captain Midlands need of assistance.; After having a near altercation with his protegé, due to succumbing to the copy sword's taint; Pete Wisdom intercedes on his behalf. Reminding Whitman that the current blade in hand is a fake after snapping him out of his craze.; The false ebony blade would see more action as MI13 did battle with the dark dimensional ducal demon Plokta; with Peter making use of it to sheer through his desire corridor in order to find and do battle with him in said dimensional entities place of power. Upon exiting said dream siphon plane they fought the duke's Mindless Ones until Captain Britain helped turn the tables.; Dane and Faiza would later make a trip to Wakanda wherein he would politely bequeath the return of his true keepsake from Queen Ororo, whom would gladly return it to Whitman while mentioning Augustine du Lac's handlers in the Vatican found it in a vampire den in Iraq that was cleared out by the Opus Dei.; While on the return trip the paladin and his squire face the full affront of Dracula's assault on the queendom. As they fall out of the sky and Excalibur saves them with her powers. Dane finds and picks up the carrying case for his vampirically forged duplicate. ============================================================ Energy Shield Kind: item Page: Energy Shield Formal name: Energy Shield Other aliases: Cooled Plasma Shield,; Photon Shield,; Zero Point Energy Shield Type: Shield First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 145 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton; John Romita, Jr. Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Lead designer: Edwin Cord Additional designers: S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark Current owner: Jaromel; Rebecca Barnes; Tony Masters; Sharon Carter Previous owners: Buck Lime; John Walker; Marc Spector; Steve Rogers; Tony Stark Alternate owners: Captain America II (Earth-725); Clint Barton (Earth-8096); Kiyoshi Morales (Earth-11831); Roberta Mendez (Earth-23291); Sharon Rogers (Earth-415) Notes: Energy shields are contained in devices worn on the wrist or within a gauntlet. When needed the device is activated and the shield 'expands' from the emitter. History: The earliest form was used by a member of the Raiders and later adopted by Iron Man. These emitted photons into a small round shape and were generally a supplement to the rest of their armor's defenses.; U.S.Agent received a photon shield when he joined Force Works; it could be activated by voice command. Around this time S.H.I.E.L.D. produced its own design using cooled plasma. Captain America briefly used the plasma shield while in exile. Not only were they useful protection, but the shields could be used as controllable projectile weapons.; On Counter-Earth, Rebecca Barnes used a Vibranium-powered triangular energy shield.; An updated version of the plasma shield with a flexible containment matrix was given to Steve Rogers by Sharon Carter while his normal shield was being repaired. This shield can morph into other forms if needed, such as a staff, sword, or rope. It could even take on the design of his old shield. This shield was later carried by the time traveler Primax when he took up the mantle of Captain America.; Taskmaster managed to acquire a similar device from S.H.I.E.L.D., possibly the cooled plasma version or another version of it. Not only does it supplement his Adamantium dupe of Captain America's Shield, but Taskmaster has used it for energy "claws" and to simulate Spider-Man's Web-Shooters.; Stark's S.K.I.N. armor combined an energy blade and shield; this shield could be expanded to cover the entire armor.; After Steve Rogers replaced Norman Osborn, he began using a new energy shield, as the real shield was being used by Captain America. This shield uses Zero-point Energy. The energy shield was able to be thrown and could ricochet off surfaces to hit targets, and would dissipate shortly after, upon which a new shield would be generated. This was so enemies could not use the thrown energy shield against him. Buck Lime acquired a Zero-point Energy Shield generator for Moon Knight. ============================================================ Elixir of Life Kind: item Page: Elixir of Life Formal name: Elixir of Life Other aliases: Elixir Vitae; Elixir of Eternal Youth; Secret Alchemy Type: Drug; Potion First appearance: Special Marvel Edition Vol 1 15 Created by: Steve Englehart; Jim Starlin Origin: Magical Previous owners: Candra; Brotherhood of the Shield; Sir Isaac Newton; Zheng Zu Properties: Immortality Granting: The Philosopher's Stone can create the Elixir of Life that provides its user immortality. History: Candra used the Elixir of Life to greatly extend the normal lifespans of her servants (like Mercy LeBeau). Her formulation of the Elixir had the side-effect of rarely turning the drinker into a half-dead monster who craved additional doses.; During the Hyborian Age, Conan compared to the Elixir of Life an elixir used by the degenerate, Black Lotus-addicted people of Xuthal to give them vitality and vigor.; In the 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton of the Brotherhood of the Shield discovered the "Secret Alchemy," the Elixir of Life, and hoarded it for himself. By diluting the Elixir, Newton also developed different variants of it that he called by different names depending on its potency (e.g., the Infinity Formula). Slowly doling out the Elixir and its variants allowed Newton to buy loyalty from the other members of the Brotherhood. Newton chained Nostradamus in front of the Well of the Elixir of Life in order to pressure the seer into giving the prophecy Newton wanted. Newton used one of the Elixer's lesser variants named the Forever Compound, which extended the body's life but offered little protection to the mind, to torture Nostradamus while the real Elixir was positioned in front of him. After 300 years, Newton allowed Nostradamus a sip of the real Elixir. However, Newton eventually ran out of the Elixir; thus the Brotherhood's prolonged immortality ended.; Zheng Zu used the "Elixir Vitae" which was created centuries earlier by his ancestor, Shaka Kharn. He gave it to at least two other individuals, his daughter, Zheng Bao Yu, and his loyal agent, Ducharme. ============================================================ Elixirs of Renewal Kind: item Page: Elixirs of Renewal Formal name: Elixirs of Renewal Type: Drug First appearance: Thor Vol 2 39 Created by: Dan Jurgens; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian; Magic Lead designer: Neffethesk Place of creation: Asgard History: The Elixirs of Renewal are a mixture of potions, that when empowered by the Odin-Force, they can quick cut down the time needed to heal a warriors injuries. ============================================================ Elixir of Lofn Kind: item Page: Elixir of Lofn Formal name: Elixir of Lofn Type: Drug First appearance: Thor Vol 1 357 Created by: Walter Simonson Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Lofn Previous owners: Loki; Lorelei Properties: The Elixir of Lofn must be inhaled for the victim to fall hopelessly in love with its user. History: Allegedly, the Elixir of Lofn was a fabled fragrance long thought lost forever.; It was also presented as a forbidden drug.; Loki was given the Elixir by Lofn.; He then offered it to Lorelei, for her to turn Thor in her lover and supporter of Loki.; As the fragrance was detected, Lorelei's sister Enchantress was summoned to help, and immediately recognized it and accused Loki of being the only one who could have obtained it. ============================================================ Enchanto-Scan Kind: item Page: Enchanto-Scan Formal name: Enchanto-Scan Type: Technology First appearance: Thor Vol 1 386 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian; Magical Previous owners: Balder Odinson History: The Grand Vizier used the Enchanto-Scan to show Balder the remains of the Bifrost that was leaving Asgard disconnected from Midgard. ============================================================ Enchanto-shackles Kind: item Page: Enchanto-shackles Formal name: Enchanto-shackles Type: Binding First appearance: Thor Vol 1 451 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Geof Isherwood Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian ============================================================ Enervation Intensifier Kind: item Page: Enervation Intensifier Formal name: Enervation Intensifier Other aliases: Enervator Type: Technology First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 74 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Enterprises Main Plant Current owner: Tony Stark History: The Enervation Intesifier, or the Enervator for short, was developed by Tony Stark for medical research as a new surgical technique. It was first used to save Happy Hogan's life; without it, the cobalt ray machine used on Happy could not generate enough energy. Although it was never tested, it kept Happy alive, but it also multiplied his strength a hundredfold, even altering his facial structure and eventually turning him into a man-monster that the media named the Freak. Iron Man chased the Freak and managed to lure him to his factory, where he tricked him into walking into a maximum power burst of the Enervator, hoping it would turn him back into Happy Hogan, which it did. The Enervator was then used by Tony Stark three more times, twice to turn the Freak back into Happy Hogan when the Freak returned two more times, and once between those two times to cure Eddie March when he was changed into a second incarnation of the Freak. Technology based on the Enervator was then later used by Iron Man, Yellowjacket, and the Jack of Hearts.; The Enervator has not been seen or used ever since and both its current whereabouts and its ultimate fate are unknown. ============================================================ Element Gun Kind: item Page: Element Gun Formal name: Element Gun Other aliases: Quad Blaster Type: Firearm First appearance: Marvel Preview Vol 1 4 Created by: Steve Englehart; Steve Gan; Bob McLeod Reality: Earth-791; Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Spartax Additional designers: Peter Quill Current owner: Peter Quill Previous owners: J'son; Kate Pryde Alternate owners: Sinjin Quarrel (Earth-791); Peter Quill (Earth-691); T'Challa (Earth-21818); Rocket Raccoon (Earth-41341) Notes: In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star-Lord wields a set of guns called the Quad Blasters. They are distinct from the Element Gun which Guardians of the Galaxy (film) director James Gunn purposefully avoided using in the film, believing it would add too many new sci-fi elements to explain in a single movie. In the comics, the Element Gun appeared in a new design in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 14 which matched the design of the Quad Blasters. Trivia: Star-Lord has mentioned that he named his guns Clarice and Terry.; Star-Lord has likened the Element Gun to a Hieronymus machine.; Zeus once coined the Element Gun to be a mix of science and magic as well as an astrological weapon. History: The Element Gun is one-of-a-kind weapon that conjures each of the four elements and is capable of mixing them to achieve other effects. It was encoded with the DNA of the Spartax Empire's royal family, so only family members were able to use it. Its original owner was Spartax king J'son who left it on Earth after crash-landing on the planet, where he was found by Meredith Quill, who helped J'son repair his ship. The two had a romantic fling before J'son left and it resulted in the birth of a son called Peter. When Peter was ten years old, a squadron of Badoon soldiers attacked his home and killed his mother in an attempt to kill him. While defending himself, Peter found the Element Gun, and it was the only thing that survived his house's destruction.; The weapon implanted in him false memories of a being known as the Master of the Sun who told Peter he was the destined Star-Lord. Over the years, Peter took apart the Element Gun several times, changing the housing, adding a voice chip and even building a second one. During an encounter against the Olympians, one of the two guns was destroyed, and Peter siphoned the gods' power into the remaining one, binding their divinity to the gun as a perpetual power source. After prolonged usage, however, this divine energy proved unstable, ultimately causing the Element Gun to dissolve in Peter's hands in the midst of a battle between the Guardians and Grootfall. ============================================================ Enlarger Ray Kind: item Page: Enlarger Ray Formal name: Enlarger Ray Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 16 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Additional designers: Sub-Atomica scientists Previous owners: Doctor Doom History: When Doctor Doom was shrunk by his own Reducing Ray and reached the civilization of Sub-Atomica, he manipulated the Royal Family and its scientists to build a number of devices they could not even understand, including an Enlarger Ray with which he could return to his native world. Doom first tried a plot against the Fantastic Four, then escaped Sub-Atomica using this device. ============================================================ Energy Fist Kind: item Page: Energy Fist Formal name: Energy Fist Type: Gauntlet First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 312 Created by: Steve Englehart; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Trivia: Per the books Machines of Doom Vol 1 1, the schematics for this item may or may not exist (They could have been destroyed). History: Doctor Doom developed this tiny device that could be hidden within any of the gauntlets in Doctor Doom's Armor. It could generate an enormous hand made of energy that Doom could use to hold or punch an enemy with great strength. Doom's real hand did not need to replicate the movements of the energy fist.; Doom built only one unit of the Energy Fist and hid it in the right gauntlet of a given set of armor he had hidden in a secret headquarters in New York City. He used it once after confronting the forces of usurper Kristoff Vernard, who had impersonated Doom and taken over the throne of Latveria. Doom intended to recruit superheroes Fantastic Four and X-Factor as his allies but, when they were reluctant, Doom used the fist to capture Thing-like Ms. Marvel of the Fantastic Four and Beast of X-Factor, threatening to hurt them unless the heroes helped him. Albeit both heroes were quite strong, they were also not motivated to release themselves by their own means, so they allowed Doom to take them to a secret lair, where he released them from the fist to hold them in a different cell. ============================================================ Energy-Transferral Helmet Kind: item Page: Energy-Transferral Helmet Formal name: Energy-Transferral Helmet Type: Technology; Helmet First appearance: Astonishing Tales Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Wally Wood Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed this device to copy his own brain pattern on a living android of his design, the Doomsman, thus ensuring his loyalty and mind power. The Energy-Transferral Helmet required Doom to take over his mask -never a pleasant activity-, then place the helmet on his head. It also required the android to be dormant. Lastly, the process could be performed in several sessions.; During one of these sessions, the process was interrupted by Doom's guest slash prisoner Ramona. As Ramona succumbed to her prejudices and started violence, Doom stopped the process to take care of her. By that point, however, the process seemed to be over and the Doomsman was able to move by himself. Later, Doom confirmed that their minds were identical.; Doom eventually discarded the idea of an army of Doomsmen, as they were very dangerous, thus shelving the Energy-Transferral Helmet. He later developed other means of transferring his mind to others, such as the Memory Transference Machine used on Kristoff Vernard. ============================================================ Energy Wings (Earth-23291) Kind: item Page: Energy Wings Formal name: Energy Wings Other aliases: Captain America's Wings; On-Board-Gliders Type: Flight Harness First appearance: Secret Wars 2099 Vol 1 1 Created by: Peter David; William Sliney Reality: Earth-23291 Lead designer: Alchemax Current owner: Roberta Mendez History: The Energy Wings are a pair of flexible plasma glider wings created by Alchemax for Roberta Mendez as an integral part of her uniform allowing for sustained flight. ============================================================ Emotion Charger Kind: item Page: Emotion Charger Formal name: Emotion Charger Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 3 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: The Emotion Charger was a device created by Doctor Doom which could heighten people's emotional state. He used it on a variety of super-villains causing them to attack the Fantastic Four during Reed and Sue's wedding.

Believing he had finally destroyed his enemy by showing he was the smartest man alive, Doom went away. ============================================================ Enchanted Horn of Balder Kind: item Page: Enchanted Horn of Balder Formal name: Enchanted Horn of Balder Type: Horn First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 122 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Place of creation: Asgard Current owner: Balder Version: Original History: The enchanted horn was used by Balder to blow to bits the dragon's maw at the Pillars of Utgard.; The horn was then given to Volstagg to blow it, but he could hear was a dull hum. ============================================================ Elixir of Recovery Kind: item Page: Elixir of Recovery Formal name: Elixir of Recovery Type: Drug First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 124 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian; Magical Place of creation: Asgard Current owner: Hogun Version: Original History: The Elixir of Recovery was drank by Balder. ============================================================ Emergency Powers Act Kind: item Page: Emergency Powers Act Formal name: Emergency Powers Act Type: Law First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 82 Created by: James Hudnall; John Calimee Reality: Earth-616 History: ... ============================================================ Energy Siphon Dagger Kind: item Page: Energy Siphon Dagger Formal name: Energy Siphon Dagger Type: Dagger First appearance: Rise of the Black Panther Vol 1 3 Created by: Evan Narcisse; Paul Renaud Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: T'Challa Additional designers: Wakandans Place of creation: Wakanda Current owner: Black Panther (T'Challa) History: A weapon part created for early prototype designs in anti-infiltration combat, the device disrupts mental modification procedures done on would be assassins and thieves for easier interrogations. ============================================================ Ensorcielammia Kind: item Page: Ensorcielammia Formal name: Ensorcielammia Other aliases: Karkoth's Ensorcielammia Type: Magical Book First appearance: Scarlet Witch Vol 1 1 Created by: Andy Lanning; Dan Abnett Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Karkoth Current owner: Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff); Darcy Lewis Properties: Notes: The Ensorcielammia, first mentioned in Scarlet Witch Vol 1 1 (January, 1994), written by Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett) is presumably inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos eldritch tomes and occult books, such as the Book of Eibon, the Celeano Fragment, the Pnakotic Manuscripts, the Vermis Mysteriis, and the infamous Necronomicon, all mentioned in Scarlet Witch #1. History: ===Origins===; The Ensorcielammia was a tome of dark knowledge, an old occult book written by Karkoth, described as an abomination on par with the infamous Necronomicon, and believed to have been destroyed long ago.; ===Modern Age===; Agatha Harkness learnt about a private library in Unity, New England, and went there with the Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff), hoping to find useful books to help shed some light on Wanda's nature as a Nexus being, as the library was rumored to hold the Book of Eibon, the Celeano Fragment, the Pnakotic Manuscripts, and the Vermis Mysteriis. Harkness hoped to rather find the Ensorcielammia or the Necronomicon.; The Scarlet Witch guarded powerful secrets in the vaults of the Emporium, including the Ensorcielammia.

It is a golden cable-like device that is fastened to the wrists of two anthropomorphic individuals, being compatible with Earth-born humans and presumably several other species. A Glx individual can generate an Energy-Synthecon using a hand-held Molecular Transfuser.; The Synthicon can absorb kinetic energy, granting the two users several powers, foremost among them superhuman strength that grows bigger the more kinetic energy that is absorbed; a human in good athletic shape can reach Class 90 strength. Other powers include superhuman resistance, again depending on the absorbed kinetic energy; but the Synthicon requires time to convert energy into endurance, and can be overloaded, at which point it stops working; accelerated self-healing; and a mind link between the users of the Synthicon, including automatic rapport. It is confirmed that the Synthicon gives no mental powers to human users.; The Synthicon has a limited range on which it absorbs energy, which has not been measured. While it can absorb even kinetic energy directed against the user (such as a blunt attack), the Synthicon cannot process certain forms of energy attacks easily, like Starhawk's coherent light beams or Spider-Woman's venom blasts, both of which affect the Synthicon user - but less than they would affect a normal person.; As a negative aspect, the Synthicon also links the two users in several ways that are not always positive: If the Synthicon is broken, the two users will immediately be driven crazy, and apparently they cannot remove the Synthicon by themselves. If the Synthecon was damaged, both users' lives were in danger unless joined together again. Certain kinds of attacks on one user would immediately affect the other one. It also links the life forces of the users, meaning meaning that if one of them died, the other would die of the shock itself soon after.; While not unbreakable, the Synthicon is very durable and required extraordinary strength to break it. Surprisingly for an advanced alien device, the Synthicon can be repaired and even modified by human technology and scientists: The Deterrence Research Corporation not only repaired a broken Synthicon, but they modified it so that it kept the physical advantages, without the problems of linking the users' minds. They apparently could not change the configured users, as they required the previous users of the Synthicon to operate it. Still, it could apparently only be removed if both users were conscious and actively doing it at the same time.; When the Synthicon is in use, if it is touched by an unauthorized person, then that person immediately suffers damage (lethal to a common human, very painful to a superhuman) as a security measure so that they stop manipulating the device (which happened with "Crackajack" Jackson and with the Hulk). This capacity is not active at every moment, as the Synthicon was used at least twice as a chain to tie up two human people (Dr. Melloncamp and Amanda Sheridan) without harming them, simply for kidnapping purposes; but soon after Sheridan's case, the superheroine Spider-Woman touched the Synthicon and suffered this damage. These last two cases (Melloncamp and Sheridan) happened after the Synthicon had been broken, repaired and modified by the DRC, so this may have been either a modification incorporated by the DRC, or due to the users learning how to control a pre-existing feature incorporated by the Glx designers. Notes: The Energy-Synthicon was created close to a state prison Hammer and Anvil had escaped from. This prison was not named, but it is confirmed to be in the United States, and close to Quebec because the Hulk had been to Quebec just before meeting "Crackajack" who was just a few days walking from the prison (with a limp), meaning that they were likely in a U.S. state bordering Quebec - either Maine, New Hampshire, New York or Vermont. "Crackajack", in his own words, was known from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, both being cities in Louisiana, and "Crackajack" claimed to have already walked 1,200 miles. The walking distance between the limit of Lousiana and the limit of New York is 1,279 miles, the other states being farther. This suggests, but not confirms that the Synthicon was created near one of the state prisons in New York. Trivia: The device is called:; Energy-Synthecon in its first appearance in Incredible Hulk Vol 1 182, as well as in Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 86 (and only sometimes), Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Master Edition Vol 1 4 (Hammer's profile) and Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 2 15 (Glx profile, under Alien Races).; Energy Synthicon (without a hyphen) in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 1 1 (Hammer's profile).; Energy Synthecon in other panels of Marvel Team-Up #86, as well as in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 2 17, Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 1 2, Dragon magazine #129 (Hammer and Anvil's profile in all cases), Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Master Edition Vol 1 4 (Hammer's profile) and Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Master Edition Vol 1 33 (Anvil's profile).; The Synthecon is not related to:; A synthezoid or synthozoid, a type of artificial human.; A Synthcon, a type of robot on Earth-4935 (like Boak). History: The synthicon technology was developed by the Glx, an alien species with very advanced technology. Glx technicians design and manufacture the specific Synthicon models, which a Glx can then obtain by creating them with a hand-held Molecular Transfuser - a device that allows to re-arrange existing atoms into different items, including the Synthicon. When an instance of Synthicon is generated with the Transfuser, it appears already attached to, and configured for, two users, that the Transfuser user chooses.; At one time, a Glx starship crashlanded on Earth, and its Glx occupant Chleee was fatally wounded in the impact. In the night, Chleee found escaped chain-gang convicts "Hammer" Jackson and Johnny Anvil. Hammer accidentally saved Chleee's life while he was really trying to kill him but, unaware of this, Chleee wanted to thank Hammer and Anvil. Mistakenly believing that the chain joining them was a lackluster ornamentation, Chleee used his Molecular transfuser to disintegrate it, then used it again to generate an Energy-Synthecon configured for both men. The humans mistakenly believed this was another chain shackling them, so Chleee took a moment to explain the nature of the item and how it gave them extraordinary strength, claiming that "if properly applied, its energies cannot be withstood!" The humans tested it, and while they enjoyed their newfound power, Chleee returned to his starship and left, without training Hammer and Anvil properly on the use of the technology. Hammer and Anvil decided to use their newfound powers for profit and vengeance, and started by attacking the prison they had just escaped from. There, "Hammer"'s father "Crackajack" Jackson was accidentally killed when he touched the Synthicon, which angered "Crackajack"'s friend the Hulk, who confronted Hammer and, due to their physical link, Anvil. While the Synthicon allowed Hammer and Anvil to more or less stand their ground against the Hulk, the Hulk eventually split the Synthicon in two. This broke the psychic link between Hammer and Anvil, turning them both mad. Hammer and Anvil were arrested, and the fragments of the Synthicon were kept by the authorities.; Ivor Carlson, CEO of the immoral company Deterrence Research Corporation (DRC), discovered about the Synthicon and its history, and obtained the fragments of the device. He provided it to the DRC scientists for them to repair it, so as to give superpowers to DRC employees. They failed to replicate the Synthicon or to re-configure it for other users, but they claimed to have altered it so that the link was only physical (thus the users would not suffer from the same madness) and that the users would be able to remove the device at will, although both users were needed for that. As Hammer and Anvil had recovered their sanity, Carlson also had them released and hired them as corporation employees, eventually revealing to them that he had the Synthicon for their use. With the Synthicon, Hammer and Anvil tracked and captured Spider-Man, then fought Spider-man's allies the Guardians of the Galaxy who had came to rescue Spider-Man. During that fight, Guardian Martinex used his freezing power to cover the Synthicon with ice, lowering its temperature until it was brittle, and then Spider-Man used its webbing on the device to tug and break it, which left Hammer and Anvil defeated (thou their minds were not affected).; DRC scientist Dr. Melloncamp used advanced technology to rebuild the Synthicon and attach it once more to Hammer and Anvil, which may have saved their lives. Melloncamp also developed a new procedure to keep their link functional. Hammer and Anvil decided that Melloncamp was too valuable to be left free, and should instead remain under their control in case the Synthicon broke again, and they also wanted to force her to implement her new procedure. Scared of them, Melloncamp tried to escape by car, reaching Connecticut; once there, Hammer and Anvil were defeated by three circus performers collective called Freaks, and Melloncamp escaped. During their attempt, they tied up Melloncamp with the Synthicon, and she was not affected by the security measure that had killed "Crackajack" Jackson.; Working for the DRC, Hammer and Anvil went to Los Angeles to kidnap industrialist Amanda Sheridan, fighting Spider-Woman three times during the operation. During the first fight, Spider-Woman attacked Hammer with a venom-blast, and Anvil was also affected through their physical link. In their second fight, she pulled Anvil through an elevator shaft, and the chain-like device caused Hammer to fall next. In the last encounter, she touched the synthicon, suffering the same damage "Crackajack" had, and she sent a burst of bio-electricity to the device, trying to overload it; and she suceeded at it, knocking down Hammer and Anvil.; Hammer and Anvil were told that the Hulk, by then mindless, would be at a certain point of the New Mexico desert, and they went there to kill him. They approached from behind, then tried to garrotte him with the Synthicon. However, the villain-killing vigilante Scourge of the Underworld shot Hammer in the face with an explosive bullet. Anvil immediately understood that he would die soon afterward, as he could not remove the device (at least not without Hammer's help) and it linked their life forces. A few seconds after Hammer's death, Anvil expired too. The Scourge escaped the crime scene, and it is unclear whether anyone picked up the Synthicon.; An apparent impersonator of Anvil was seen with what looked like the Synthicon in a court, during an attack of several supervillains. ============================================================ Encephalatron Command Chair Kind: item Page: Encephalatron Command Chair Formal name: Encephalatron Command Chair Type: Command Chair First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 251 Created by: Roger Stern; Bob Hall Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by I.S.A.A.C. for Vision to assume control of computer systems Lead designer: I.S.A.A.C.

Its only limitations were limited fuel and air supply.; The armor had a safety shutdown device built-in which could deactivate the armor by remote; unfortunately it was bypassed by Hammer. History: While secretly being influenced by Justin Hammer, Tony Stark created an armor designed to protect executives without needing extensive training time. All four prototypes were bought by Hammer posing as an anonymous buyer. When Stark realized what he had done, he went after Hammer in the Outer Atmospheric Armor.; S.H.I.E.L.D. later confiscated the suits from Hammer's space station. ============================================================ Exorcist Gun Kind: item Page: Exorcist Gun Formal name: Exorcist Gun Other aliases: Linda Type: Firearm First appearance: Nightstalkers Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan G. Chichester; Ron Garney Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Silicon Valle Current owner: Sam Buchanan Previous owners: Frank Drake History: Several years ago, Frank Drake used the last of his waning fortune to commission the development of the Exorcist Gun, which he nicknamed, "Linda" (after Linda Blair, the film star from the 1973 film, The Exorcist). Using Nanotechnology, the Exorcist Gun tracks and targets the unique energy signature given off by supernatural entities.; The delivery system of the gun uses plasma charges which act as a suspension medium, carrying Necrotech motors to their target. The microscopic engines alter the atomic structure of preternatural bone, often causing paralysis in its intended target.; Frank Drake first employed the Exorcist Gun when his colleagues, Blade, Hannibal King and he were manipulated into fighting the Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze. Frank fired a blast of Necrotech into the Ghost Rider's midsection causing his bones to temporarily fuse together. ============================================================ Excalibur (Sword) Kind: item Page: Excalibur (Sword) Formal name: Excalibur Other aliases: Caledfwlch ("Linebreaker"); Caliburnus ("Steelcutter"); Sword of Kings; The Sword That Heals; Sword in the Stone Type: Unique Sword First appearance: Black Knight Vol 1 1 Created by: Stan Lee; Joe Maneely Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Otherworld; Arthurian; Magical Lead designer: Witches of Avalon Additional designers: Lady of the Lake, Merlin Place of creation: Avalon, Otherworld Current owner: Excalibur (Dr. Faiza Hussain) Previous owners: Ares; Beowulf; Black Knight (Sir Percy); Black Knight (Dane Whitman); Sir Brann; Captain Britain (Brian Braddock); Doctor Doom; Gambit; Grendel's Mother; Iron Man; Lady of the Lake; King Arthur; Morgan Le Fay; Mortigan Goth; Night Nurse; Weyland; Properties: Excalibur has been endowed with several magical powers including:; Potency: The sword has the ability to kill anyone including gods, immortals, and spirits.; Healing: The sword has the ability to heal auras.; Durability: The sword was virtually indestructible. However, there are at least two alleged shards of Excalibur implying that it can be damaged and pieces may be removed.; Invincibility: When armed with the sword, the user becomes undefeatable.; Invulnerability: Excalibur's Scabbard offers invulnerable to its holder, making them incapable of being wounded or of receiving injury.; Magic Detection: Excalibur can imbue it's user with the ability to sense magic around them. Notes: Ares claimed that he possessed the fragments of the "original Excalibur."; According to Merlin Demonspawn in Captain Marvel Vol 4 21, Excalibur was the sword Beowulf used to vanquish Grendel's Mother. However, Scream: Curse of Carnage Vol 1 5 reveals that she was actually defeated by Thor using Mjolnir.; Occasionally, the Sword of Might has been referred to or confused with Excalibur. This may be because both are magical blades strongly associated with Merlin. Additionally, the Sword of Might was usually lodged in a stone when presented to potential Captain Britains. However, it has been confirmed that these are indeed two different and distinct swords. Trivia: Excalibur means "Freed from the Stone" or "Freed from the Grail".; The Sword in the Stone and Excalibur were historically distinct weapons of the Arthurian saga though later iterations combined them. History: ===Origin===; According to some legends, Excalibur was forged by witches on Avalon employing magicks and spells that predate humanity. To make Excalibur purer, the blacksmiths drew all the evil from it and imprisoned it within a second sword, Chaos the Doombringer.; According to Merlin Demonspawn, Excalibur came into the possession of Grendel's Mother, who stored it in her lair alongside other treasures; and during his battle with her, Beowulf took up the sword and used it to vanquish her.; ===Sword in the Stone===; With the coronation of King Uther Pendragon fast approaching, Sir Brann was sent to Weyland's smithy to fetch a sword for the ceremony. While returning, Sir Brann encountered and attacked a time-traveling Iron Man. After subduing Brann, Iron Man took the sword and his horse, but both Iron Man and Sir Brann were later captured by the forces of Aislinn. The pair was able to escape and Brann even used the sword to slay a Dragon sent by Aislinn. During their final battle with Aislinn and her forces, the sword was lodged into a large stone and could not be removed. When Sir Brann informed the new king, the king decided to leave the sword where it was. The stone was actually meteorite known as the Starstone was an ancient object that attracted evil towards it, but acted to repel evil when the sword Excalibur was placed within it.; When King Uther died leaving no heir to the throne, the sword now with an inscription proclaimed that whoever removes the sword is the rightful King of England. None succeed in removing the sword, which eventually becomes forgotten, leaving England in the Dark Ages. After many years Merlin gathered nobles to try and fail to complete the challenge. The teenaged Arthur Pendragon who up to this point knew nothing of his true lineage effortlessly pulled the sword from the stone by accident and then repeats it publicly. Now wielding the sword named Excalibur hailed King of the Britons.; After Excalibur was drawn from the Starstone by Arthur, the Hungry Land ruled by Necromon began to invade the mortal realm. Merlin realized that putting the sword back in the stone would have repelled the dead realm but he chose to keep the sword and instead created The Barrier to prevent any extradimensional invasions.; ===King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table===; Armed with mighty Excalibur, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table bought many battles defending Camelot.; ===Sir Percy===; After the death of King Arthur, Sir Percy, the first Black Knight, took up Excalibur and wielded it along with the Ebony Blade. After wielding Excalibur for some time, Sir Percy summoned by the Lady of the Lake. She sent Sir Percy into the future to inhabit the body of his descendant Dane Whitman and bring back the Excalibur team to save Camelot from the Makluans. Though her magic, the Lady of the Lake brought Excalibur and Sir Percy to before Arthur's death and the fall of Camelot.; Just before King Arthur's actual death, he intended to return Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake; however, Sidestep sent a time-displaced and mentally manipulated Jean Grey (under the guise of Marvel le Fey) to take the sword for her own. It was only thanks to the intervention of a similarly time-displaced Shadowcat that Jean was thwarted and the sword returned to Lady of the Lake.; ===Modern Day===; In 1955, just before Winston Churchill gave up his office, he asked to see Excalibur, just once. A friend, the mage Mortigan Goth brought it to Downing Street to be seen by Churchill and a small group including Spitfire.; Excalibur was wielded in recent years by the Black Knight against the forces of Necromon before returned to the resurrected Arthur.; ===Doctor Doom===; After traveling to the past with Iron Man, Doctor Doom lost a battle against King Arthur and Iron Man. Doctor Doom became obsessed with finding Morgan Le Fay and was eventually able to summon and imprison her. Doom demanded that le Fay cast a spell to fuse her shard of Excalibur with Doctor Doom's Armor. This spell allowed Doom to summon Excalibur and wield it. Doom also sought the sword's scabbard to amplify its power. However, Iron Man recovered the scabbard first, and together Doom and Iron Man had to fight off the monster guarding the scabbard. After the battle, Merlin took both the sword and the scabbard and returned them to the Lady of the Lake.; ===Faiza Hussain===; During the Skrull invasion of Earth, Captain Britain was seemingly killed while attempting to prevent the Skrulls from invading Otherworld. With Captain Britain gone, Agent Pete Wisdom called on Tink to take him, Spitfire, and John the Skrull to Avolon to aid their forces in Otherworld. Once on Avalon, the trio was told that Excalibur had just reappeared in a nearby cave. Unfortunately, none of the three were worthy of pulling Excalibur from its stone. With help from Merlin, Captain Britain was resurrect and able to wield Excalibur. Having defeated the Skrulls forces, Captain Britain returned Excalibur to the stone to wait for someone who would not use it to take a life. The sword and Merlin then called out to Dr. Faiza Hussain who was able to draw the sword from the stone. Faiza then joined MI-13 and took the codename Excalibur in honor of the legendary sword she wielded.; When Gambit was abducted by Borya Cich, Mr. Cich forced Gambit to steal Excalibur for him. Posing as Sir Antony Ellis, Gambit got the jump on Faiza when she was knighting honored individuals in Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately for Gambit, Pete Wisdom was waiting for him outside of the Palace and quickly apprehended him.; While in the Realm of Death, Dr. Faiza Hussain lent Excalibur to Night Nurse to battle against the minions of Death. When the blade was returned to her, Excalibur used it to allow her teammates to pass "Charon".; ============================================================ Eternal Flame Kind: item Page: Eternal Flame Formal name: Eternal Flame of Destruction Other aliases: Eternal Flame of Muspel; Eternal Flame of Muspelheim; Flame of Destruction Type: Artifact First appearance: Thor Vol 1 157 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Muspelheim; Magical Previous owners: Odin, Surtur Alternate owners: Odin (Earth-199999), Hela (Earth-199999) Material: Flame Properties: Due to being decreed by the Fates, the Eternal Flame cannot be extinguished. According to Bor's sorcerers, there were rumors that it was possible to see the future in the blazing fire of the Eternal Flame, however, it was impossible to prove due to no one being able to be close enough.; When the Twilight Sword is near the Eternal Flame, it can absorb its power, replenishing the power of its bearer. When the sword is bonded with the Eternal Flame, its powers are further increased to an unknown level, allowing it to destroy the Ten Realms and the universe itself. History: During Bor's reign, a battle was fought in Niffleheim for the creation of an artificial Death Stone. Under Bor's command, his sorcerers brought the Eternal Flame from Muspelheim, to burn the pieces of shell that held the Galactus Seed, creating the Stone to act as fuel, however, it transformed into a baby girl, Hela.; When Odin, Vili, and Ve Borson traveled to Muspelheim to prevent Surtur from one day destroying the Nine Realms during Ragnarok, Surtur fought against the combined power of the three brothers, leading to the destruction of the original Twilight Sword and the theft of the Eternal Flame.; Odin guarded the Eternal Flame for eons, installing it on Asgard. When the Mangog attacked Asgard, he lifted the column were the Eternal Flame was, to spread its fire in vain. Time later, Surtur invaded Asgard with a reforged Twilight Sword to retrieve the Eternal Flame, being able to trap Odin. Surtur's attempt to ignite the sword with the Eternal Flame failed, as Loki revealed it to be an illusion. Despite trying to reach the real flame, Surtur was challenged by Thor, Loki and Odin, being ultimately defeated by the later.; After a time, Surtur and Ymir were fighting in Asgard, Thor retrieved Twilight from the Sea of Eternal Night, as it was the only weapon capable of defeating a true elemental. Thor ignited the sword with the Eternal Flame and hurled it at the two giants, causing them both to fight over it. Thor took advantage and used the God-Blast to defeat them.; Some years later, the Twilight Sword returned to Muspelheim, however its Eternal Flame was extinguished. Years later, after Odin's death, an arrow was fashioned from Gungnir, with the head made in the Eternal Flame of Muspelheim and affixed to the spear with sap of Yggdrasill, to be used to ignite Odin's body during his funeral.; Clear ============================================================ European Defense Initiative Bio-Mechanical Suit (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: European Defense Initiative Bio-Mechanical Suit Formal name: E.D.I. Bio-Mech Suit Other aliases: Thor's Uniform; Perun's Uniform Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Ultimates Vol 1 4 Created by: Mark Millar; Bryan Hitch Reality: Earth-1610 Lead designer: Dr. James Braddock Additional designers: Brian Braddock, Tony Stark Place of creation: Dome in Brussels Previous owners: Perun; Thor Alternate owners: Hit-Monkey (Earth-26290) Model: Harness, Belt, Power Battery Hammer Version: 3.0 History: ===Version 1.0===; The Dome, in Brussels, attempted to recreate the Super Soldier serum that created Captain America, much like the Americans, with little luck. They opted to go the Bio-Mechanical route instead and created a Harness and Power-Belt that provided the wearer the with the abilities of flight, Super-Strength and limited Invulnerability. The test subject, Thorlief Golmen, a psychiatric nurse, was fitted with the suit. However during the testing process he started ranting about how he now believed he was actually the God of Thunder, Thor. He was institutionalized as the delusions worsened.; ===Version 2.0===; The team working on the Harness made several modifications to the suit using inspiration from Thorlief's rantings, adding weather control and teleportation to the Harness and Belt. The only problem was how to include the power source. It was Thor himself who suggested nestling it inside a Hammer, which fit nicely into the Norse Iconography the suit now had. When Loki was freed from his Asgardian prison cell by an aged Helmutt. He used his trickery and illusions to place himself on the team and took on the alias of Gunnar Golmen, Thorlief's brother.; Eventually Thor broke free from the facility and began his life as a super-powered humanitarian. Loki managed to convince both the European Defense Initiative and S.H.I.E.L.D. that Thor was insane and a powerful threat. The Ultimates were then charged with finding and apprehending him. In reality, Thor really was a god reborn in human form; powerless. The Ultimates managed to find and arrest Thor, stripping him of the suit. Thor would later reclaim his actual powers, ending his need for the suit.; ===Version 2.5===; The Russian government somehow got their hands on the suit and used it to aid, along with the Chinese government, in their invasion of America. The technology was fitted to one of their soldiers and was given the code-name Perun, the Slavic God of Thunder, to fit the theme of the powers the suit provided. The shape of the hammer was altered, but retained all of it's abilities. He was also given a Sickle to match the Hammer to add to his Soviet symbolism. The Russian and Chinese governments created a team of super-powered individuals to lead the invasion, called the Liberators, and Perun was placed on this team.; Two years later, Perun was working for S.H.I.E.L.D. as a Black Ops agent on the Avengers. During an attack on the Triskelion by a Vampire Army, Perun was killed by a Vampire Banner. The hardware has yet to be assigned to a new host.; ===Version 3.0===; Tony Stark fully upgraded the hardware to make it better than it's previous versions. When Asgard was destroyed by the Children of Tomorrow, Stark offered the hardware to Thor, who has once again been transformed into a mortal man.. This version of Mjolnir is fully compatible with "all Iron Man power sources".; ==Attributes==; The E.D.I. Bio-Mech Suit comes with three tools; the Harness, Power Belt, and Hammer.; The Harness and Belt gives the user the abilities of Flight, Super-Strength and limited Invulnerability.; The Hammer has a power battery that can ionize the environment, manipulate the weather and even teleport the wielder anywhere in the world using its four-dimensional engine.; The Belt protects Thor from psychic attacks. ============================================================ Esterhauser 22B/Z-14 (Earth-8311) Kind: item Page: Esterhauser 22B/Z-14 Formal name: Esterhauser 22B/Z-14 Other aliases: Esterhauser 22B/Z-14 Mega-caliber peace-maker with mounted telescopic sights; optional laser-scan pinpointer and blowback overfeed Type: Firearm First appearance: Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham Vol 1 13 Created by: Mike Mellor Reality: Earth-8311 Current owner: S.H.E.E.P.

It allowed the wearer enhanced strength, force field protection, and flight.; Initially designed with a British flag motif, subsequent versions of the suit were redesigned to represent other EU members such as Captain Spain, Captain France, and Captain Italy.; ==Capabilities==; Allows the user to fly at supersonic speeds; Enhances his physical attributes, giving him superhuman strength, endurance, and durability.; Force field generator.; Communication system with E.D.I. and the other Captains. ============================================================ Exogenesis Kind: item Page: Exogenesis Formal name: Exogenesis Type: Metagenesis First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 3 577 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Dale Eaglesham Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Inhuman; Dire Wraith Additional designers: Maximus Current owner: Inhuman Dire Wraiths; Maximus Model: Unique Trivia: The eXogenetic story arc wasn't about Exogenesis in the Inhuman way to use the term. History: Exogenesis is a process of inhalation of the Exogen Spice, a mutagenic substance, that gives Inhuman Dire Wraiths their powers.; Using exogenetically charged waters, Maximus was able to help Black Bolt recover from the power loss he suffered after the detonation of the Terrigen Bomb. ============================================================ Extremis (Virus) Kind: item Page: Extremis (Virus) Formal name: Extremis Type: Virus First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 1 1 Created by: Warren Ellis; Adi Granov Reality: Earth-616 Origin: A prototype serum created to produce Super-Soldiers Lead designer: Maya Hansen and Aldrich Killian Additional designers: Tony Stark, A.I.M., Arno Stark, Bruce Banner Place of creation: FuturePharm Complex Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Maya Hansen; A.I.M.; The Circle; Eli Warren Model: 1 Version: 3 Notes: The Extremis-enhanced people can be known as Homo extremis. History: ===Origin===; The Extremis was a super soldier project developed by a biotech company called FuturePharm, subsidiary of Stark Industries. Alongside Maya Hansen, Dr. Aldrich Killian developed the nanite technology called Microsurgery Experimental Robotics. The project was funded by the U.S. military. However, when the military pulled the plug, Hansen and Killian stole samples and sold them to a militia terrorist faction, but a guilt-ridden Killian confessed afterwards in a suicide note.; ===Extremis on the Loose===; In an attempt to regain the stolen serum, Stark, as Iron Man, was injured battling a domestic terrorist, Mallen, who had been altered by the Extremis drug into a superhuman killing machine. Seeing no other option, he took a modified dose of Extremis to heal his injures and improve his neural interface with the armor and other technologies. The revitalized Iron Man then set out after Mallen. After killing the terrorist without choice, Stark discovered that Maya was the accomplice of Killian in stealing Extremis, and she was put into custody.; Learning about the possibilities of Extremis, the Mandarin infiltrated the U.S. government with a cover identity of Tem Borjigin, CEO of the Prometheus Corporation, specializing in bio-weaponry, manipulating Maya into helping him perfect Extremis after faking her death to deflect attention. Having determined that Extremis was only effective on those who possessed a specific gene sequence that was only found in 2.5% of the population , the Mandarin intended to release it en masse, believing that, after the deaths of the 97.5% who lacked the ability to cope with Extremis, the survivors would be left stronger, smarter and immune to age and disease. However, Iron Man was able to defeat the Mandarin's scheme by redirecting the Extremis missiles into the upper atmosphere, where the nanobots that would have delivered the virus were destroyed by the extreme cold of the jet stream.; Years later, Maya was kidnapped by A.I.M. and forced to duplicate the virus before killing her. The new samples of Extremis were then sold in an auction to four different bidders, whose names were forcibly given to Stark by the head of the auction, Colin Forty-Four, in order to retrieve the Extremis from them by any means necessary.; ===Extremis 3.0===; The recently-discovered long-lost foster brother of Tony, Arno Stark started working on a new, more stable version of Extremis after being contacted by Tony, much to the latter's dismay. When Bruce Banner was shot in the head and suffered brain damage, his neural tissue was fixed with Arno's Extremis. Another application of Extremis, now tweaked by Banner, allowed him to increase the intelligence of the Hulk, unleashing a new personality called "Doc Green."; During World War Hate, a magic spell caused the inversion of Tony Stark's moral axis. The new egocentric and determined Tony Stark released a modified "Extremis 3.0" to San Francisco, giving the people the option of physical perfection for free by way of a wireless application. However, as they found out, this was merely a free trial period, and keeping their "perfect" bodies would require a payment of $99.99 every day. Stark himself appeared to have taken this version of Extremis, allowing him to have close combat abilities capable of taking on and even defeating Daredevil in hand-to-hand combat in terms of strength and reflexes.; Daredevil later discovered the Extremis app wasn't what it appeared to be, Stark had contaminated San Francisco's water supply with the virus, and the Extremis app merely served as a trigger for the Extremis virus to be activated inside a person by generating a certain subsonic frequency. However, Stark prevented Murdock from acting on this discovery by inflicting minor brain damage that would erase Matt's memory of this revelation, also intended to reprogram Extremis to be activated by a signal that Murdock couldn't detect.; ===King in Black===; After Knull dropped Eddie Brock from the Empire State Building, only a Symbiote could save his life. So Iron Man used extremis to procure one of the Symbiote Dragons for Eddie's cure by disconnecting it from the Hive through changing its genetic code.; ==Properties==; ===Original Extremis===; The original Extremis serum gives its user:; Superhuman Strength: An Extremis subject's strength can be increased to superhuman levels, providing the user enough strength to toss cars and people with relative ease, break someone's skull with a single punch, counter Iron Man's superhuman physical blows, break Iron Man's bones with ease through the suit, rip the highly durable suit apart without effort, and even use the "blade" of a bulldozer as a blunt force object.; Superhuman Speed: An Extremis subject can move and run at incredible speeds up to 300 mph, although it is unknown if this is the top speed an Extremis subject can move at.; Superhuman Stamina: The virus grants its user almost unlimited stamina, with no need to eat, drink or breathe air.; Superhuman Durability: Extremis-enhanced beings have greater resistance to physical injury than an ordinary human. They are able to withstand bullet impacts and direct fire of Repulsor Blasts without feeling pain, at a potency higher than which a Repulsor Blast needs to have to cut through metal, only suffering minor wounds. Iron Man's uni-beam only caused Mallen great discomfort without injury.; Fire-Breathing: At the user's discretion, his/her lungs fill with fire plasma which he/she can exhale through his/her mouth. Mallen torched a lobby full of people through this method.; Claw-like pincers: An Extremis subject can unsheathe stingers from his/her fingertips. They are very durable, and in conjunction with super-strength, they can be used by the Extremis subject to claw through a converter box.; Electrical discharge: Extremis-enhanced beings are able to discharge extremely powerful electrical currents through his/her hands which seemed to emanate from his chest through his arms.; Healing Factor: Extremis-enhanced beings can also heal wounds at a incredible speed, in a matter of hours.; ===Tony Stark's Modified Extremis===; Tony Stark reconfigured the last Extremis dose created by Futurepharm in order to heal himself after being fatally injured by an Extremis-powered terrorist, and "become one" with his armor, gaining the following abilities:; Direct Cybernetic Interface: The Extremis virus has fused Stark's armor to his body. Initially, the inner layers of the Iron Man armor were stored in the hollows of his bones, but later his entire exo-armor would be contained within carbon nanotubes. He is able to manifest and control the armor through direct brain impulses and even utilize some of its powers when unsurfaced. He has direct, cyberpathic control over the communication devices, scanning equipment, and recording devices located in his helmet.; Wireless Communication: He was also able to remotely connect to external communications systems such as satellites, cellular phones, and computers throughout the world. Stark is also capable of projecting his voice through transmitting sound systems, such as cellular phones, via electric transmissions from his central nervous system.; Nanotech Armor Manipulation: Due to the Extremis, Tony could store the nanoparticles of his suit within the hollows of his bones and summon it at will. He could also command the nanoparticles to reshape and even repair itself.; Augmented Physiology: Extremis also bolstered Stark's biophysical frame, enabling him to consciously adapt himself on a limited scale both internally and externally.; Superhuman Reflexes: The Extremis virus granted him enhanced speed reactions and movements.; Regenerative Systems: Stark was capable of biologically heal himself and repair the armor.; Enhanced Endurance: The Extremis virus was mentioned to have increased Tony's natural endurance.; Significantly Enhanced Brain Function: With the Extremis virus, Tony's brain function greatly increased, allowing him to process information and connect data together like a supercomputer. As Tony's brain thought processes were still at a standard level, this was shown to cause hallucinations which provided him with information that his conscious mind was unable to keep up with.; ===Arno Stark's Modified Extremis===; Arno Stark's version of the Extremis virus helps repair brain damage as it did with Bruce Banner. Banner later altered the Extremis Arno injected into his body to boost the intelligence of the Hulk.; Augmented Physiology: Arno's variant of the Extremis virus allowed him to rewrite his body's cellular structure so as to function much more efficiently and even gains one new superhuman abilities.; Regenerative Systems: Arno's variant of the Extremis virus was able to regenerate his damaged biology, enabling him to function and even walk without the need of life support.; Sleeplessness: Arno's variant of the Extremis virus had removed his body’s need for sleep.; Limited Self-Control: Arno's variant of the Extremis virus had given him level of control over his own physiology which he used to reach instant meditation so as to prevent himself from being crushed by a stampede.; ===Extremis 3.0===; After his moral inversion, Tony Stark created a new Extremis called "Extremis 3.0" that grants the following abilities:; Appearance Alteration: It allows people to have a form of shape-shifting, as they can alter their appearance to their own desires.; Regenerative Healing Factor: Tony Stark claimed the virus allows people to heal at an accelerated rate and heal from injuries that they normally couldn't heal from. There is some truth to this as the Extremis was able to heal Daredevil of his blindness.; Immortality: Tony Stark claimed that the Extremis provided a form of immortality. It is possible that it may be through either halting of the aging process or rapid regeneration of body's cellular structures.; Enhanced Strength; Enhanced Agility; Enhanced Reflexes; ===Other Versions===; Numerous different types of Extremis were produced over the time, some of them are like Stark's, allowing easier usage of technology. Others adapted it to enable themselves survival in hostile environments, further still have been used to transform normal humans into brainwashed mindless beasts. One of the more beneficent uses of said artificial pathogen was to effect medication affectation for incurable diseases and the like, but had been twice unsuccessful until Stark came and modified it.; ==Application==; Created as a nano-tech serum, the Extremis liquid biotech complex is inserted into graphitic nanotubes, suspended in a carrier fluid and stored in an applicator specially designed, created and developed from similar prototypes previously marketed by Futurepharm.; The virus is injected in the back of the subject's head. If properly injected up to the cervical nerves, the fluid is passed into the bloodstream and permeates the nervous system, accessing the body's recovery center, the portion of the brain that has the complete mapping of the human body and all their features, and initially identifies possible future failures, such as cuts, injuries and varied stimuli which are repaired with enzymes. Extremis takes control of this region of the brain-stem and overwrites all of this mapping with the information about how the body should truly be.; Once the modification is made, the body's system evaluates the entire human body as erroneous and injured, sending the information to the brain that the entire body, externally and internally, is wrong, completely transforming it into an open wound to be healed and changed by and for the Extremis' standards.; The first instants of pain processing is fulminate, and the liquid carrier of the genetic code is expelled from the body orally. A side effect of the expulsion of the liquid is the loss of considerable amount of blood that ends up giving the subject a frail, pale and sick appearance. This stage lasts, however, only a few moments before the cardiac activity is reduced and the person in whom the drug was injected in enters to a state of prolonged sleep.; The standard protocols for insertion of the Extremis virus imply that, at this stage of processing, the user should be kept under constant observation and unremitting care, put on a constant life support and receive nutrition intravenously every hour. After a period of time, the brittle skin of the user begins to break into low-grade scabs. The wounds gradually release low quantities of blood which upon contact with air and become solid. In order to protect the body, the crust is enhanced throughout the body. After eight or nine hours, almost the whole body has become covered with this layer of protection, or cocoon. This stage is maintained for about forty-eight to seventy-two hours, in which all the nutrients and body mass are reshaped, creating new stronger, more powerful and resilient body parts, such as muscles and nerves, in order to fulfill their duties more efficiently. This stage of the application of the serum seems to deteriorate or abolish the vestments worn by the user, because after the cocoon they're protected by breaks, they are naked.; After the subject regains consciousness and awareness, the cocoon is violently cracked into many pieces, slowly freeing the user from itself.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; In Earth-199999, the Extremis virus was an experimental serum that modified a host's genetic code to grant superhuman strength, endurance, and a healing factor. It was created by Maya Hansen, and first tested on plants. During the New Year Eve of 1999, she met Tony Stark, with whom she talked about the Extremis and also intimacy. While drunk, Stark could almost fix the Extremis problem of stabilization, as it had the side-effect of overheating. A young scientist named Aldrich Killian offered her a place in his organization Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.).; Years later, Killian advanced the testing to human subjects, injecting it into himself and a number of soldiers. The Extremis was still unstable, however, and so Killian offered Pepper Potts a position within A.I.M. in an attempt to lure Stark. Aldrich later kidnapped her to force Stark's cooperation in finding the solution for the instability he started years earlier, and injected Pepper with the serum as added insurance.; Pepper was later taken to the Roxxon Norco oil tanker where Killian was going to publicly execute President Ellis. Stark, and his friend James Rhodes, stole aboard and fought Killian and the Extremis-enhanced soldiers. Potts fell from a great height in the battle, but the regenerative properties of the Extremis saved her, and went on to kill Killian. Stark promised Pepper he would find a cure for Extremis, which he did.; The unstable version of the Extremis virus was somehow obtained by the Hydra off-shoot organization known as Centipede, and was one of the key components in their "Centipede" super soldier serum.; ====Properties====; Extremis, when injected into living tissue, results in a wide range of effects within the host organism. The intention of Extremis was to enhance, although the compound was flawed. In all hosts, it causes intense pain until it either bonds with the host successfully, or destroys the host in a violent explosion. Even in cases where the Extremis virus has successfully bonded, the host organism may be at risk of the compound becoming unstable and detonating with sufficient force to burn nearby bystanders to dust, and crater solid concrete underfoot.; Healing Factor: The Extremis virus imparts incredible restorative capabilities upon the host organism, which was its primary original intention. Superficial wounds close over and heal completely in a matter of seconds, and severed limbs can take minutes to regrow.; Exothermic Manipulation: Hosts of the Extremis virus are able to consciously raise the temperature of parts of their bodies. The effect can be controlled to the extent that it might only scorch skin, or increased to the point where it can cause steel to turn into a molten state. In the case of Killian, intense temperature extremes enables its host to breath fire.; Superhuman Physicality: The Extremis virus enhances the muscular power, bone resilience and skin density of the host considerably. The extent appears to vary within marginal limits, but most have demonstrated the ability to hoist the weight of a human male effortlessly in one hand and hurl such a weight across a room. As well as grant even greater bodily motion, granting the host exponentially-enhanced agility, speed and reflexes greater than the finest human athlete.; ====Known Users====; Aldrich Killian; Eric Savin; Ellen Brandt; Pepper Potts (unwillingly by Killian, stabilized by Stark); Jack Taggart (failed test subject of Killian's); Chad Davis (failed test subject of Killians'); Michael Peterson (through Centipede); David Samuels; Drew Grey; Chan Ho Yin (through Centipede); Brian Hayward (through Centipede); John Garrett (through Centipede); Numerous unnamed soldiers; Gravik (through Super-Skrull engineering); G'iah (through Super-Skrull engineering); ===Marvel: Avengers Alliance (Earth-12131)===; In this universe the Extremis virus is described as a "nanotech-based interface with the human nervous system." It was developed by A.I.M. with the help of a mysterious ally, based on the work of Maya Hansen, an old colleague of Tony Stark, who was researching a new kind of super-soldier solution.; The first and only known test subject was Eric Savin, who was located by Tony Stark and defeated with the help of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s alliance of superheroes. After the defeat of Savin, the Mandarin revealed himself as the mysterious ally of A.I.M., and that his true plan had just started.; ===Iron Man: Armored Adventures (Earth-904913)===; Extremis appears in the same name episode of "Iron Man: Armored Adventures", as an experimental nanotechnological serum with unpredictable results. It was developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. in an attempt to recreate the original Super-Soldier Serum. After use, the initial effects are seemingly identical to canon, and the user is quickly enclosed in a soft-shelled cocoon. Unlike the comics, the transformation is much faster; seemingly a minute or two at the most. The one person shown to have taken a full dose, Mallen, gained the fire-breathing and electrical discharge abilities, as well as durability sufficient to shrug off Iron Man's weapons and superhuman strength sufficient to easily defeat him in combat. After said combat, it was discovered that Tony's already damaged heart received further damage, preventing him from ever being Iron Man again. Desperate, Tony injected himself with a minor amount of modified Extremis. That not only healed his heart completely and allowed him to interface with his armor directly, but also increased his strength to at least peak human measures (he lifted Rhodey and Pepper into the air while hugging them, with no visible effort) and made him a full-fledged technopath, capable of controlling electronic systems at least as distant as low orbit.; In the episode "Iron Man 2099," Tony attempted to use his new abilities on Andros Stark, but it was easily fought off. Andros then stated that a much more advanced version (16.5 in his case) of Extremis was used by everyone in the future.clear; ====Properties====; =====Mallen=====; Transformation: Mallen's Exposure to the Extremis serum had altered his physical structure both internal and external. Once having been of humble psychical appearance to that of a pale wraith like creature with a more frightening appearance and persona.; Superhuman Strength:; Superhuman Speed:; Superhuman Stamina:; Superhuman Durability:; Fire Projection:; Claws:; Electrical discharge:; Nigh-Immortality:; =====Tony Stark=====; Biological Rejuvenation/Enhancement: Thanks to his modified dosage of Extremis, Anthony Edward Stark was able to rewrite his own physiology in order to restore his ability to use the armor again after his battle with Mallen left him unable to do so. His physical overhaul not only restored his capacity to wear it again but healed him on a more personal level as well.; Peak-Human Strength; Enhanced Intelligence; Regenerative Healing Factor; Superhuman Reflexes; Technological Interfacing: Tony gained the ability to mentally interface with cybernetic systems by force of will. Enabling him to mentally communicate with computers and technology going so far as connecting with orbiting satellites around the earth to wireless interfacing with his Iron Man armors, controlling its individual components and controlling it with his mind.; =====Andros Stark=====; Advanced Biophysical Enhancement/Technological Interfacing: Andros' Extremis of the future had given him everything allotted to Anthony's Extremis but at a progressively more advanced level, due in being an enhanced strain of future biotech the Iron Man of 2099 hosts a number of facilities that his ancestor does not. With it he can easily rebuff outward hacking attempts by his younger ancestor through his Extremis 16.5 version as well as interface with his armor better.; Physical Immortality:; Enhanced Condition ============================================================ Exospex Kind: item Page: Exospex Formal name: Exospex Type: Technology; Visor First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 107 Created by: Chris Claremont; Dave Cockrum Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Shi'ar Additional designers: Shi'ar Place of creation: Shi'ar Empire Current owner: Izzy Kane; Subguardian Smasher-7; Smasher 10; Smasher 11; Smasher 12; Smasher VII Previous owners: Vril-Rokk; Salac Tuur; Smasher III; Galin Version: Version 1 History: ===Overview===; An advanced example of Shi'ar technology, Exospex are special goggles that enable the user to download superhuman powers, but only one at a time.

As it stands all of its supposed abilities are vague but the few to name off are as follows:; Heredity Enchantment: The blade can only be wielded by reincarnations of Dorrek Supreme, having an enchantment similar to Mjolnir. Although others are able to wield only if given permission.; Mystical Energy Absorption: Its mystic edge can absorb and negate magic like Mjolnir's powers as well as cancel out power of beings like the extra-dimensional Moridun from the Fifth Cosmos, and the Cotati.; Magic Disruption: The Star Sword possesses the ability to disrupt magic in all of it's forms.; Summoning: The blade can be magically summoned by Hulkling calling out its name.; Remote Teleportation: Hulkling can will Excelsior to any given location he desires, either warping it into his own hand, or loaning it to an ally with permission.; Selective Damage: With focus, the sword can affect select targets while leaving friends and allies unharmed. Trivia: The name of the sword might be an allusion to a famous catchphrase of Stan Lee, "Excelsior!"; "Excelsior" is a Latin word translated into English as a motto meaning "Ever upward!"; This weapon appears to be inspired by The Sword in the Stone from Arthurian legends.; Additionally, "Excelsior" and "Excalibur" begin with the same letters. Excalibur is another Arthurian weapon, sometimes mistaken as being the same as The Sword in the Stone.; Hulkling commonly summons Excelsior by proclaiming "By the Power of Excelsior!". This is likely a reference to He-Man who transformed from Prince Adam into He-Man by holding his sword aloft and proclaiming "By the Power of Greyskull!". History: ===Origin===; Ekz'El-Zorr (later Excelsior) was a magical sword created by the first Kree/Skrull hybrid Dorrek Supreme by merging the two ancestral swords he inherited from his parents, Ryga'a, War-Queen of the Skrulls, and Soh-Larr, the Kree Ultra-Warrior.; After Dorrek Supreme's death, a prophecy involving the sword was created, that whoever managed to pull out Excelsior from the stone it was embedded in, would prove himself as the reincarnation of Dorrek Supreme.; ===Hulkling===; Many generations later, the Knights of the Infinite tested the young hero Hulkling, the first royal Kree/Skrull hybrid to be born in thousands of years, to see if he was destined to rule them. Hulkling easily pulled off the sword, and he was deemed king of the Knights.; The sword was used by Hulkling to defeat the evil wizard Moridun the Mage, and Dorrek kept it even after leaving the Knights. Hulkling has continued to use the sword during missions including defeating Celestial Destructor, vanishing Paibok and the New Revengers, and battling Dark Elves during the War of the Realms.; ===Kree/Skrull Alliance===; To defend the Great Mound in Wakanda from the attack of the Cotati, the newly crowned Emperor Hulkling lent Excelsior to the Black Panther. With the Star-Sword, Black Panther slew many Cotati warriors and fought one-on-one with Swordsman before ultimately destroying the Death Blossom. Having completed his plans, Black Panther sent the Star-Sword back to Hulkling.; When the Progenitors attacked Throneworld II, Emperor Hulkling slew of the Progenitors singlehandedly with Excelsior. Because Excelsior can disrupt magic, a well placed stab from the sword was all it took to topple the giant.; Sensing the rise of something that would shift the balance of all things, Doctor Doom arrived on Throneworld II to take Excelsior from Emperor Hulkling by force. When it became apparent that Excelsior was loyal only to Hulkling, Doom swapped bodies with him. Fortunately, Moondragon was able to reverse the effects and temporarily trapped Doom in Rocket's body.; During Dormammu's invasion, Excelsior was broken while Emperor Hulkling was defending Throneworld II from the Mindless Ones. Manifold was able to teleport S.W.O.R.D. Commander Abigail Brand with the team of mutants and the shattered sword to Skrullos where Wiccan could repair it. Although he was initially unsuccessful, Wiccan was able to reforge the sword using the Flames of the Faltine borrowed from Dormammu. To reunite Hulkling with his sword, he and Wiccan activated the Nega Wedding Bands and swapped location. Reunited with his mended sword on Skrullos, Hulkling was able to quickly vanquish Dormammu's avatar. ============================================================ Exploration Armor MK I Kind: item Page: Exploration Armor MK I Formal name: Exploration Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Ultimates Vol 2 4 Created by: Al Ewing; Kenneth Rocafort Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Adam Brashear Model: MK I Version: 1 Properties: The Exploration Armor shields its user from the dangers of the Exo-Space, estimated survival time inside the armor is one minute and fifty seconds at best.

In reality, the Extremis virus was already present in the body of any of its potential users, since Tony had contaminated the water supply of the city with it. All the app did was to serve as a trigger for the effects of Extremis through a subsonic frequency. History: During World War Hate, a magic spell caused the inversion of Tony Stark's moral axis. The new egocentric and determined Tony Stark released a modified Extremis 3.0 to San Francisco, giving the people the option of physical perfection. Stark initially released the app for free in order to induce dependency before eventually revealing it was only a trial run, and the continuous use of it required its user to pay $99.99 daily.; Daredevil later discovered the truth behind the Extremis app, and confronted Tony about it. Stark prevented Murdock from acting on this discovery by inflicting minor brain damage that would erase Matt's memory of this revelation, and also intended to reprogram Extremis to be activated by a signal that Murdock couldn't detect. ============================================================ Eye of Agamodin Kind: item Page: Eye of Agamodin Formal name: Eye of Agamodin Type: Unique Amulet First appearance: Infinity Wars: Soldier Supreme Vol 1 2 Created by: Gerry Duggan; Adam Kubert Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Soldier Supreme Previous owners: M.O.R.D.OC. Notes: The Eye of Agamodin is based on the Eye of Agamotto. It presumably also doubles as a reference to the eye Odin sacrificed to gain infinite wisdom.; This artifact implies that within Warp World, Agamotto and Odin are merged into "Agamodin". However, a warp of Odin already exists, with Howard Stark, in the form of Howard Odin. Another artifact called the Eye of Agamoshtur implies Agamotto in another warp, with Oshtur. History: The Eye of Agamodin was a mystical artifact in M.O.R.D.OC.'s possession that can reveal the true nature of things. After being accidentally pulled back from the Dark Dimension by M.O.R.D.OC.'s cult and defeating them, Soldier Supreme took the Eye of Agamodin from M.O.R.D.OC.'s unconscious body. As he woke up and displaced himself to another dimension, M.O.R.D.OC. told Soldier Supreme about the Eye of Agamodin, and dared him to turn its gaze on himself. When Soldier Supreme did so later on, he discovered that he was an amalgamation of two existing heroes, Doctor Strange and Captain America. ============================================================ Executive Order 13361 Kind: item Page: Executive Order 13361 Formal name: Executive Order 13361 Type: Executive Order First appearance: X-Men: The 198 Files Vol 1 1 Created by: Eric J.

This allowed an untrained peasant to be on equal grounds with the Black Knight and fight him for three days straight, for example. If the would-be user's intent was to commit acts of evil, the mask had no effect on them. So far the upper limits of this ability have yet to be established.; Cosmic Awareness: The mask is also capable of granting an awareness to the user that guides them or drives them to lead others to specific places so that an incoming crisis can be resolved. Notes: The Eternity Mask has been implied to have taken a role in the most important events in human history. History: ===Origin===; 1500 years ago in Britain, a guild of warlocks and magic users plotted to overthrow King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and give power back to the common people. To achieve their goals, the guild harnessed the power of the spirit of Eternity to create the Eternity Mask, a mystical mask that makes its wearer the equal of their opponent. The Black Knight was dispatched to locate the guild's hideout where he encountered their champion, who was wearing the mask. After three straight days of fighting, the Black Knight finally killed his adversary. The guild retreated, taking the mask with them.; ===Across the Ages===; The mask has been passed down through the centuries, serving as a catalyst for pivotal moments in British history. Its influence can be traced across numerous historical events, shaping the course of civilizations. Among these were the Peasants Revolt, the English Civil War, and the journey of the Puritan Separatists to the New World. The Mask traveled with them on the Mayflower, embedding itself in the fabric of American history. In the American colonies, the Mask found its way into the hands of the brilliant polymath Ben Franklin. Recognizing its extraordinary properties, Franklin harnessed its mystical energies to aid in the fight for independence. With its power, he helped turn the tide of the American Revolutionary War, ultimately securing victory against the British and freeing the fledgling nation from the rule of kings.; The Mask has since been passed on from individual to individual. One of the first known users of the mask was Masked Raider (Jim Gardley), the legendary champion of the poor and oppressed. After an armed confrontation (in 1880), he was badly wounded and left to die while bleeding out. Dr. Matt Masters (who was the hero Black Rider in secret) found him lying on the ground and tried to help by removing his mask. Masters inadvertently killed the vigilante. After seriously reflecting on the situation, Masters decided to put on the mask and carry on its legacy, intended to avenge the Masked Rider.; He wore it for fifty years until, during his eighties, he decided to pass it to Dennis Piper, a young avenger of the poor during the Great Depression, telling him that true believers would eventually come for it. Piper used the mask during his time as the "Operative" in the 1930s.; ===World War II===; When the The Three Xs approached Piper, claiming they needed it to fight Nazis, he immediately gave it to them. Piper claimed that he never felt its powers. Unbeknownst to him, the Three Xs were part of Project Thunderer. Jerry Carstairs was subjected to the Project to create the masked hero The Thunderer, A.K.A. the Dark Avenger. Carstairs became disillusioned with the Guild at the end of the war and escaped, keeping the mask with him. The Scientists Guild located and killed him in 1956.; The mask was again in the possession of the Scientists Guild (who didn't felt its effects) that evolved into the Enclave, an organization dedicated to the creation of life. Decades passed and the Enclave had mostly forgotten about its existence. Working together, the Enclave scientists, which included the Three Xs (blessed with longevity treatments), created a number of scientific breakthroughs. They were planning to create a vastly powerful new race of human beings, under their control. They further planned to subjugate the rest of humanity, by using their creations as an army. When their prototype reached maturity, it escaped its incubation chamber before the Enclave could set it free. Due to its rapid maturation, they could not place within the creature's mind the proper safeguards enabling them to control it. The creature, referred to only as "Him", manifested its various energy-manipulating powers, causing its creators to flee before they could even learn what it looked like. Using the teleportation machine, Jerome Hamilton kidnapped noted sculptor Alicia Masters and brought her to the Beehive to sculpt Him's likeness. After he persuaded her to do as they asked, Hamilton was conscience-stricken and insisted on accompanying her into the chamber where Him was. When Him lashed out at them, Hamilton fired back. Hamilton was seemingly killed in a rockslide caused by one of Him's energy discharges.; ===Defenders===; Abandoned by everyone in the debris, Hamilton crawled blindly with his last bit of strength. He found the Eternity Mask, which revitalized its first user in a long while. Donning a costume, Hamilton started calling himself Blind Justice, guided by his wishes of revenge towards the Enclave until his ultimate demise. Before his death, Blind Justice passed the mask on to the future self of Carlo Zota, one of the Enclave's leaders. Zota donned the mask to become the Masked Raider, trapping himself in a time-loop wherein he was killed by his past self, who would go on to become the Masked Raider after being sent through time by the mask to the moment where Blind Justice gave it to him. Doctor Strange retrieved the version of the Eternity Mask worn by the Masked Raider at the time of his death and took it to the Sanctum Sanctorum.; Following Strange's death, the Eternity Mask was passed on to the Blue Marvel. The Defenders were reformed by Eternity to investigate a threat from outside the Multiverse and the Blue Marvel gave the Mask to America Chavez so she could battle the Beyonder and the Phoenix. The Mask also allowed her to resist Glorian's illusion, and Chavez passed the Mask to a time-displaced Loki, who fixed her broken horn and summoned the Queen of Nevers with it. Loki later went back to his proper place in time but without his memories. After regaining his memories, he took off the Eternity Mask from his horn.; ===Thor's Trials===; While Thor's quest and battle with the Utgard-Gods reached its climax, Loki used the Eternity Mask and transfomed it into an arrow to kill the Elder God Kemur. As Thor emerged from Utgard to return to Asgard, he was killed by Loki with the arrow.; Clear ============================================================ Eon Ray Kind: item Page: Eon Ray Formal name: Eon Ray Other aliases: Eon-Ray; Eon Gun Type: Energy Weapon; Firearm First appearance: Captain Marvel Vol 1 10 Created by: Arnold Drake; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Walter Lawson Place of creation: Florida Place of destruction: Denver Space Observatory, Colorado Previous owners: Deathgrip; Captain Marvel; Walter Lawson Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Eon Ray was a gun designed by Walter Lawson for the crime syndicate the Organization.

When fired on a single organism, other living beings around them can watch them change rapidly, while being unaffected themselves.; When Captain Marvel destroyed the headquarters of the Organization, Deathgrip was permanently mutated due to the Eon Ray being hit by exploding ionic reactors in the underground base during the destruction. It gave him vampire-like abilities and was able to absorb Captain Marvel's photon blasts. The weapon was unable reverse the mutation, when Deathgrip used the weapon on himself, both he and the Eon Ray were dissolved. ============================================================ Eye of Agamoshtur Kind: item Page: Eye of Agamoshtur Formal name: Eye of Agamoshtur Type: Unique Amulet First appearance: Infinity Wars Vol 1 3 Created by: Gerry Duggan; Mike Deodato Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Stephen Rogers Previous owners: Hammer Supreme; Spider Supreme Notes: This artifact implies that within Warp World, Agamotto and Oshtur are merged into "Agamoshtur."

The device took all of a being's pent-up metamorphic energy and amplified it. Resulting in a metamorphic field that stretched across the entire Earth. With the device, Kl'rt would have been able to remake Earth in his image, replacing the billions of Humans with Skrulls. It required a shape-shifter's living metamorphic scaffold to power it, and the individual had to be powerful. The user would most likely not have survived its use. Emperor Kl'rt attempted to use Ms. Marvel's shape-shifting powers to power the device, but it was destroyed by Ms. Marvel in the process. ============================================================ Equinox Blade Kind: item Page: Equinox Blade Formal name: Equinox Blade Type: Sword First appearance: Legend of Shang-Chi Vol 1 1 Created by: Alyssa Wong; Andie Tong Origin: Magical Lead designer: Unknown Swordsmith Place of creation: Japan History: The Equinox Blade was a katana that was forged during the Kamakura period in Japan. According to legend, the sword drove its swordsmith mad before consuming his soul. The Equinox Blade eventually ended up in the British Museum. After it took the soul of a security guard, the museum attempted to sell it off to a private buyer. Lady Deathstrike attempted to steal it and used it to take the souls of the security guards but was stopped by Shang-Chi, who also came to take the sword on behalf of MI-6. Despite getting stabbed and nearly having his soul consumed by Lady Deathstrike, Shang-Chi was able to defeat her and take the Equinox Blade. Rather than let it fall into the wrong hands, Shang-Chi broke the sword, returning all the souls it stole back to their bodies.

History: After the Master's death, several of his loyal students placed his lifeless body inside the Entropy Globe, where he was reanimated and his brain restored. He subsequently remained confined within the device, tended by the descendants of those original students.

There, the Master revealed the history of the Chosen and provided them with a device capable of transforming the snow-creatures into more human-like beings. ============================================================ Eye of Agamotto (Knowledge) Kind: item Page: Eye of Agamotto (Knowledge) Formal name: Eye of Agamotto Other aliases: All-Knowing; All-Seeing Eye of Infinity; Eye of Truth; First Eye of Agamotto; Third Eye of Agamotto Type: Amulet First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 127 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Agamotto Place of creation: Pre-Cataclysm Earth Current owner: Scarlet Witch Previous owners: Doctor Strange; Clea Strange; Loki; Doctor Voodoo; Doctor Doom; Agamotto; Margali Szardos; Tanaraq; Vera Gemini; Ancient One; Baron Mordo; Spider-Man; Sebastian Szardos; Agamotto's disciple Alternate owners: Terrible Eye (Earth-17217); Immortal Moon Knight; Doctor Strange (Earth-199999) Properties: The Eye is used to find and show "truth".; It can emit an "all-revealing light".; It can play back recent events.; It has other abilities which are similar to telepathy but are magical rather than psionic, greatest of which is the ability to give its user certain mystical perceptions into another's soul.; It accompanies the wearer's astral form and is one of the few items usable in either state (albeit at a less powerful state).; A 'third eye' often appears on the forehead of the wearer when it is used.; The Eye is used for order or "white" magic only. It does not respond to an evil user's commands, and can only be utilized by a magician of a pure heart and clean soul. However, there has been certain, unclear exceptions, such as when Baron Mordo, when disguised as Strange in a former masked costume he had donned, was capable of wearing both the Eye of Agamotto and the Cloak of Levitation. Strange also worked desperately during the brief conflict to cover the Eye’s gaze, seeming to believe that his impostor could somehow bend his will to the amulet. Mordo uses the Eye to detect the "ethereal vibrations" of the Ancient One in the chamber, even willing it to implant itself upon his forehead. The malevolent Asgardian deity Loki has also worn and used the Eye of Agamotto and the Cloak of Levitation when Thor established his rule over Earth. In the What If? Age of Apocalypse, Nate Summers uses the stolen Eye of Agamotto to create a portal through time to stop Legion, but apparently not even through the magic of the Eye does not automatically bend the rule of diverging timelines, as is shown when, like a cancer, other realities in the Multiverse also become an Age of Apocalypse. The Silver Dagger also was able to steal the Eye of Agamotto after killing Strange.; The Eye can radiate a powerful mystical light that allows Strange to see through all disguises and illusions, even those of Skrulls (before the genetic engineering experiments that shielded them even from the magics of a Sorcerer Supreme), see past events, and track both ethereal and corporeal beings by their psychic or magical emissions. The light given off by the Eye also weakens a variety of evil mystical beings, such as demons, devils, undead beings, dark extradimensional entities, and even sufficiently corrupt human practitioners of the Dark Arts, as well as used by Strange in the past to achieve nothing more than nothing but mere yet wide and convenient illumination. Strange can use it to probe the minds of others, project a powerful mystical barrier, and create portals to other dimensions. It is also dimensionally linked to the Orb of Agamotto, Clea having used the latter to send Daimon Hellstrom and Power Man through it to Strange's Eye. It has also been used to place beings into suspended animation, and Strange has used its light to levitate objects as heavy as the Hulk and Professor Xavier plus his wheelchair together, or the Thing, with minimal effort while simultaneously magically controlling the Cloak of Levitation to fly himself, carrying a total of at least fifteen hundred pounds, during the early years of the Defenders.; The Eye of Agamotto can be used to transport a group of dozens of beings of all kinds and power levels into another point within a universe, as Strange did to combat the threat of Thanos. The Eye was used by the Ancient One to banish the demons worshiped by the Devil-Slayer's cult, and appears to be capable of being stolen by them without the Sorcerer Supreme's consent, to be used to unseal a dimensional doorway to the Earth dimension from the demonic dimension; Vera Gemini was able to use the power of the Eye of achieve Xenogenesis in one day whereas the demon overlords achieved it after many eons. The Eye was also used to pierce the veil of the Dark Dimension by opening a portal. The Eye of Agamotto automatically displays to Strange and the New Avengers through its arcane powers in the Quinjet at least thirty-five images of "those who would replace" Strange, suspended in floating and shimmering blue bubbles of light, before the Eye itself vanishes from Strange to the new Sorcerer Supreme. Strange also used the Eye to at least in one instance to project a bolt of pure mystic force (when Strange was confronted by both the Panther and Mantis over the Evil Eye fragment), even when T’Challa had prevented him from uttering invocations or performing gestures, proving that the Eye can be activated by will alone. Strange also joins portions of the combined life essences of himself, Valkyrie, the Hulk and Namor to weave a complex spell through the Eye, which channeled the life energies into a healing glow it bathed upon the dying Nighthawk, healing him. The Eye, on Strange’s command, has been shown to implant itself on the foreheads of other, non-mystical beings and affect them as well, conjuring a psychic illusion making the Hulk and Namor see the other as he is not. The Eye of Agamotto has also been utilized in at least one instance to "reverse the flow of time," causing a broken statue to be reassembled perfectly, though time was only twisted around the statue. Strange uses the Eye of Agamotto to show Nebulon an insight into mankind, mentally displaying to him man’s history, passions, and achievements, ultimately dissuading him from further opposing Earth.; It is said that the Eye of Agamotto draws on Agamotto's own mystical ability to span distances and dispel disguises and illusions. Agamotto is also presumably aware of every time the Eye is used and may even record those events for later viewing. Notes: Before the origin of the Eye was revealed, there were theories of how it came into existence. Some believe that it was discovered by Agamotto among the skies and stars, where it had drifted for ages. Others claim that it was created by Agamotto himself, which makes sense when the Eye's powers are compared to those of "the All-Seeing."; The Eye of Agamotto set off the metal detector at the airport, which the Sorcerer Supreme detested, indicating the Eye is made of some metallic substance, even if mystical in nature, that is detectable by mortal technology.; Curiously, Doctor Strange, in his astral form, was able to swiftly conjure another Eye of Agamotto and Cloak of Levitation, along with his own garb, for Howard the Duck without spoken incantation. What's more, the duck was able to command them, despite not being a Sorcerer Supreme himself. Trivia: The Eye of Agamotto is the name commonly given to Doctor Strange's amulet, though the Eye itself actually resides within the amulet and is released from time to time.; The Eye of Agamotto is interestingly shown to open itself partially or wholly even when not used, mostly during significant events or battles.; The Eye appears in Marvel Puzzle Quest as a power of Doctor Strange.; In some dimensions, the resident Sorcerer Supreme wields a mystic artifact similar to the Eye of Agamotto: Magister Szandor Sozo of the Thirteenth Dimension used the Eye of Thelema, while an unidentified Sorcerer Supreme wielded the Eye of Agamakko. History: The artifact commonly associated with the term "Eye of Agamotto" was actually one of the three eyes created by Agamotto during his time as the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth. Originally he only created a single Eye, but after losing both his actual eyes, he created two more. Regarded as either the first or third Eye of Agamotto, this amulet represented prescience, with its power manifesting knowledge. This Eye of Agamotto was later placed into the care of Eternity until a worthy mage could successfully reach him. Doctor Strange eventually did so, and was given the Eye to battle Dormammu, a sinister mystical being.; ===Xenogenesis Day of the Demons===; The Agent of Fortune was able to steal the Eye of Agamotto, after defeating Doctor Strange in physical combat. The Eye was delivered to the Cult of Harvester of Eyes, which the Agent served. The Eye was used by half-demon Vera Gemini to create a direct dimensional doorway, which connected Earth and the Demon Realm. Every demon in the Realm gained corporeal form and prepared to be displaced to Earth.; The Eye was grown to giant size and served for a while as a gateway to Earth. Doctor Strange was able to shrink it back to normal size, and Nighthawk returned the Eye to Earth. With the Eye's return, Xenogenesis ended and most demons were exiled back to the Demon Realm.; ===Dark Reign===; Though Strange at first retained both the Eye and the Cloak, the Hood (at Dormammu's command) targeted Strange to eliminate him and seize the Eye of Agamotto. Strange, who had stepped down from the title of Sorcerer Supreme after his unwise use of Zom's power, refused to surrender the Eye, telling the Hood that he could not use it because of his tainted soul and demonic connections.; After fleeing to the New Avengers, Strange described the Eye as "one of the most powerful mystic conduits on this physical plane". The team joined him in his search for new potential candidates. Dormammu sought the Eye for his own dark purposes, either to destroy it out of contempt for his ancient foe or to grant it to the Hood for more power. Over New Orleans, the Eye vanished from Strange's possession and presented itself to the new Sorcerer Supreme, Jericho Drumm (Brother Voodoo). As his first act of office, Voodoo defeated Dormammu, broke his connection with the Hood, and saved the New Avengers, Daimon Hellstrom, and Doctor Strange.; ===Heroic Age===; Agamotto inexplicably attacked the world, trying various ploys to bring the Eye to the Light Dimension, apparently unable to take it by force. Brother Voodoo challenged Agamotto for the eye, sending a mystically-empowered Wolverine as his champion. When Daniel Drumm, who was held captive in the Light Dimension, witnessed the battle turning against Wolverine, he intervened: Jericho took the Eye and engaged Agamotto personally, repelling the entity at the cost of his own life.; The Eye was later given back to Doctor Strange when he proved himself once again worthy of the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme. When the god of mischief Loki became the new Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange was forced to hand over the Eye of Agamotto to Loki along with his other magical artifacts. ============================================================ Fantasti-Flare Kind: item Page: Fantasti-Flare Formal name: Fantasti-Flare Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 1 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Reed Richards Previous owners: Fantastic Four Notes: In its first appearance it made the words "The Fantastic Four" appear before forming into the signature "4" History: The Fantasti-Flare is a firearm used by the Fantastic Four to alert each other of their respective locations. It launches a fiery “4" into the sky. It was created and first used by Reed Richards to alert the others to return in order to investigate the disappearance of power plants caused by Mole Man. Other members of the Fantastic Four have also appeared to have been given one as the Human Torch has used one when he found where the Skrulls who had been impersonating him, and when Namor set about to destroy the surface world after Johnny removed his amnesia. The Invisible Girl was hypnotized into using hers to draw the rest of them to the Miracle Man. ============================================================ Firebrand Battlesuit Kind: item Page: Firebrand Battlesuit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 27 Created by: Archie Goodwin; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Gary Gilbert Previous owners: Gary Gilbert; Russell Broxtel Properties: Superhuman Strength: The armor grants enhanced strength and enables to lift 15 tons.; Superhuman Durability: The armor grant superhuman protection.

The Falcon, his girlfriend Leila traveled to Wakanda, where the two heroes designed high tech wings to attach to a similar version of the Falcon's costume. Lead designer: T'Challa Additional designers: Desmond Burrell, "Hophni Mason", Iron Man Place of creation: Wakanda Current owner: Sam Wilson Alternate owners: Samantha Wilson (Earth-11051); Miles Morales (Earth-21798); Tiana Toomes (Earth-22532); Joaquín Torres (Earth-199999) Notes: The Falcon's wings have deflected projectiles on several occasions. The earliest occurrence was deflecting the Plant Man's projectile orchids. More recently he was shielded from small arms weapons fire from Nuke. History: ===Original Set===; At the request of Captain America, the Black Panther (T'Challa) designed a set of wings for Sam Wilson aka the Falcon. These wing harness featured detachable jet-powered glider wings made of lightweight titanium ribbing and Mylar. The wings were covered with wafer-thin solar power receptors that convert sunlight into electricity for power miniature high-speed electric turbine jets in his uniform and even his boots.; Falcon, later on, has had his wings improved upon by a third party. These wings detached and reattached to his uniform cybernetically. The costume's visor came equipped with various capabilities, including infrared lenses, giving him the ability to see objects by their infrared signature at night, magnification capabilities, and remote imaging sensors that allow a full 360 degree of vision when activated. The cowl also has a wide band receiver and transmitter with an unspecified range.; ===Hard Light Harness===; Black Panther later supplied Falcon with a new costume and wings. An emitter array on Falcon's back creates holographic "hard light" wings with a maximum wingspan of up to 50 feet (15 m). Controlled by a cybernetic link, the wings can be instantly reconfigured into "dozens of different cruise configurations". A "magnetic drive", in turn, provides the thrust needed to get Falcon airborne. The emitter also possesses GPS Jamming Devices that prevent satellite tracking, while the hard-light wings interfere with infra-red tracking. A Vibranium microweave was added to the costume itself, making Falcon resistant to small arms fire, as well as virtually indestructible due to the technology's self-repairing nature. The entire system is controlled mentally through cybernetic circuitry in the Falcon's mask. The costume has in the past featured a hidden "talon," a cybernetically controlled grappling line built into the gauntlets of his costume which he uses to entangle opponents, hook objects, or for swinging and climbing when his wings are detached. The costume's visors come equipped with various capabilities, including infrared lenses, giving him the ability to see objects by their infrared signature at night, magnification capabilities, and remote imaging sensors that allow a full 360 degree of vision when activated. The cowl also has a wide band receiver and transmitter with an unspecified range.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-1610, this world's Sam Wilson has developed wings of a more military nature. Wilson wears a "wing-pack" capable of extending wings that allow him to fly. His wings are controlled through the help of nanotechnology with which he can communicate and which can also send and retrieve computer information. The wings are partially self-repairing.In particular, they can change frequency and become cloaked to detection for both the wings and the individual attached to the harness.; Ultimate Nightmare Vol 1 1; Earth-6160 was reshaped to the image of The Maker of Earth-1610, preventing the creation of most of the hero community. Anthony Stark designed the stealth-suit that was destined for the hero Falcon, however, it was recovered by H.A.N.D. with minor damage and given to Extechop to study. However, due to how advanced it was, Extechop estimated that it could take years to figure out how it works.; Ultimate Universe: One Year In Vol 1 1; On Earth-12041, Falcon's wings in this universe is known as the Falcon Armor and was developed by Tony Stark. Sam Wilson choose the suit over the War Machine Armor when Iron Man called on him to help the Avengers battle the Red Skull and Hydra. The suit is embroidered with holographic wings of which can produce explosive flechettes and retractable talons. For transportation, the holographic wings permit him to fly at incredible speeds and with more precision than the most advanced aerial vehicles. He also utilizes the suits advanced x-ray scanners and heads-up display which are embedded in the face mask.; Marvel's Avengers Assemble Season 1 1; On Earth-14042, Falcon's wings are retractable, and attached to the back of Falcon's costume. In appearance, they resemble the Earth-12041 version. These wings have the ability to detach from the rest of Falcon's costume and become a remote controlled weapon capable of creating a destructive tornado. This option is called the Redwing Mode.; Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers; On Earth-199999, The Exo-7 Falcon is a jet pack with retractable wings. It provides a light weight and highly versatile alternative to parachutes in combat environments and was used by Sam Wilson in the Middle East in service of the U.S. Air Force. Although designed for a single operator, the Exo-7 Falcon provides enough thrust to support the weight of two men for a brief period of time. It is equipped with a tightly packed backup parachute that can be manually deployed in the event of a system failure with the jet pack and wing assembly.; At least two of the Stark Industries Exo-7 Falcon flight rigs were manufactured and deployed to Afghanistan. One was lost in combat, while the other was returned to American soil and mothballed. The surviving Exo-7 Falcon was extracted from secure storage by Captain America and the Black Widow at the request of Sam Wilson, and subsequently used in a counter-attack on Hydra. It was extensively damaged during the battle, with one wing sheared off by the Winter Soldier and the other jettisoned for an emergency parachute deployment.; After joining the new Avengers team, Sam was given an upgraded Exo-7 suit with red coloring by Tony Stark. He continued to use the wings for the next several years, and later began wearing another upgraded version of the suit during his time as a solo superhero following the dissolution of the Avengers. The wings were later damaged during a battle with John Walker, the government-appointed Captain America, resulting in Bucky Barnes calling in a favor from Ayo, a member of the Wakandan Dora Milaje. The Wakandan Design Group subsequently created a special set of Vibranium wings as part of a new uniform for Sam, which he donned for his public debut as Steve Rogers' successor to the Captain America mantle.; Captain America: The Winter Soldier; On Earth-61284, Falcon's wings were retractable wings attached to a jetpack. After Sam joined Avengers Academy, his wings would be given periodic upgrades by fellow student Iron Man.; Marvel Avengers Academy ============================================================ Finesse's Battle Staves Kind: item Page: Finesse's Battle Staves Formal name: Finesse's Battle Staves Type: Baton First appearance: Avengers Academy Vol 1 1 Created by: Christos N.

It was at a dig sight somewhere in Asia that he found the Temple of Yin and battled the Inhumans. He eventually managed to tap into the eye's power and absorb it into his rings, but after his defeat at the hands of the Inhumans his rings were left buried in the temple.; After some time the Mandarin depressed due to the loss of his rings would travel back to the ship of Axonn-Karr where he'd discover and use the Yin Headband of Power to located and transport his rings back to him in a blink of an eye. This transportation somehow caused the rings to lose the absorbed power of the Eye of Yin. ============================================================ FaceSpace Kind: item Page: FaceSpace Formal name: FaceSpace Type: Social Network; Technology First appearance: X-Men: Manifest Destiny Vol 1 1 Created by: James Asmus; Chris Burnham Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Social Network Trivia: FaceSpace is a parody and combination of the social media platforms Facebook and MySpace. History: FaceSpace was an online social network.; ==Users==; Boom-Boom; Doctor Doom (Allegedly; Mysterio (Allegedly; Nuwa; Rhino (Allegedly; Beast has a page about him that was created by someone else. ============================================================ Fantastic Oh-Five (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Fantastic Oh-Five Formal name: Fantastic Oh-Five Type: Technology First appearance: Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 26 Created by: Mark Millar; Greg Land Reality: Earth-1610 Lead designer: Reed Richards Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Reed Richards History: As Sue was being attacked by Namor, Reed came to the rescue, arriving in Fantastic Oh-Five, giving him the strength of Grimm, the shields of Sue, the fire power of Johnny, and his own stretching ability. While medics checked on the other team members, Reed took a hold of Namor, using the fantastic four's powers against him. Namor fought back but had difficulties getting through Reed's shields. Namor did not see what Sue saw in Reed when she could have a God, like him. Namor finally broke through the shield protecting Reed, taking him out of the Fantastic Oh-Five. ============================================================ Fantastic Four Uniforms Kind: item Page: Fantastic Four Uniforms Formal name: Fantastic Four Uniforms Other aliases: Fantastic Four Suits; Fantastic Four Costumes; Future Foundation Uniforms Type: Suit First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 3 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Designed by Reed Richards using unstable molecules to allow him and the rest of the Fantastic Four to use their powers while not damaging their clothing. Lead designer: Reed Richards Place of creation: Baxter Building Current owner: Fantastic Four; Future Foundation Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable Notes: Any image that depicts members of the Fantastic Four is likely to also depict a version of the suit. Trivia: In early iterations, members of the Fantastic Four wore a special belt buckle that contained a solenoid activator. It was used to grant them access to the special elevator in the Baxter Building that would take them to floors 31-35 where their headquarters were located.; In Johnny's opinion, the Future Foundation uniforms were hideous. History: The Fantastic Four's costumes and the rest of their wardrobe, are made of "unstable molecules". This means that the suit is attuned to their powers, which is why Johnny's costume doesn't burn when he "flames on," Sue's costume turns invisible when she does, and Reed's costume stretches with him. The costume also insulates them from electrical assaults. A full body suit was also given to The Thing but he ripped through the top half before starting their first mission using them.; ==Capabilities==; In addition, the team's uniforms are also, in essence, wearable computers. Their costumes have a complete data processing and telemetry system woven into the material of the uniform on a molecular level. This forms a network with the entire team, providing a constant, real-time uplink of everyone's physical condition as well as their location and current situation. The uniforms are capable of displaying data and touch-pad controls on the gloves. Its sensors can track all of the team's uniforms and provide a picture of their immediate vicinity. The suits have an intricate scanner system which can detect things around the wearer, from how many people are in the next room to what dimension or planet they are on. Reed can also up-link the bodysuit to any computer by stretching his fingertips to filament size and plugging them in to an I/O data-port. With this, Reed can establish a fairly comprehensive database of any computer's cybernetic protocols and encryption algorithms.; ===Future Foundation Uniform===; The third generation of unstable molecules was able to let Spider-Man change his suit coloring and markings, allowing him to switch between his Future Foundation outfit and his regular outfit.; The unstable molecules can also be altered to create a unhackable and indestructible data storage unit, such as the Omegadrive. ============================================================ Eye of Ages (Earth-6311) Kind: item Page: Eye of Ages Formal name: Eye of Ages Type: Technology First appearance: Rise of Apocalypse Vol 1 1 Created by: Terry Kavanagh; Adam Pollina Reality: Earth-6311 Origin: Part of Pharaoh Rama-Tut's time-traveling ship that crashed in Ancient Egypt Previous owners: Pharaoh Rama-Tut; En Sabah Nur Properties: Pseudo-Precognition: The Eye of Ages contains detailed records about humans history, gathered thanks to being a part of time-traveling ship from the 30th century. People touching the Eye would see glimpses of these records, that could be interpreted as precognitive visions. History: The Eye was a part of Nathaniel Richards' time-traveling ship from the 30th century. A recording device, it contains information about millennia of human history.; When Richards' ship crashed in Ancient Egypt he was discovered by the local barbarian tribe, the Sandstormers. Their leader Baal had found this item and accidently glimpsed from it some visions of the future. Believing that it was a divine object, Baal named it the "Eye of Ages" and hid it away from Richards.; Richards soon became a pharaoh Rama-Tut and sent an army against the Sandstormers demanding the "Eye of Ages" from them. The Sandstormers refused and were almost all slaughtered while Baal led away the few surviving members. Thanks to the vision's from the Eye he learned about the upcoming birth of special child named "En Sabah Nur" who would depose a tyrant pharaoh. Baal adopted the child and raised him as his own son.; The Eye was kept secret in a cave, and over the following years Sandstormers received visions from it. Unable to fully comprehend what they saw, they depicted their visions on the cave walls as pictures, and texts.; Being from the future, Rama-Tut naturally knew what one day En Sabah Nur would grow up to be the powerful mutant Apocalypse. Twenty years later Rama-Tut sent an army to attack the Sandstormers again with an order to capture En Sabah Nur alive as he wanted to make him his heir and control his future path. Badly wounded, Baal managed to lead Nur away and brought him to the cave there he hid the Eye of Ages. Before dying Baal told him the truth about Rama-Tut and the Eye and about his visions of Nur's future.; After escaping the caves, En Sabah Nur turned his wrath against Rama-Tut and eventually chased him into the Sphinx, where Tut ended up battling the time-displaced Fantastic Four. In the wake of the battle, the Pharaoh's power-hungry general Ozymandias also made his way into the Sphinx intent on deciphering the secrets of its advanced technology and use it to ascend to the position of master of Egypt for eternity. In the chamber which formerly housed the Eye of Ages, he encountered En Sabah Nur who ironically used the Eye to show Ozymandias all the collective knowledge of time at its disposal in an instant, the massive shock of which proved too much for his mind to withstand. His psyche shattered, while his body was transformed by Nur into one of living sandstone. From this moment forward Ozymandias became cursed to forever follow En Sabah Nur and record his prophetic visions, as well as the details of his master's conquests, as the eternal personal scribe of Apocalypse. ============================================================ Fear Gas Kind: item Page: Fear Gas Formal name: Fear Gas Type: Drug; Pheromones First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 6 Created by: Stan Lee; Wally Wood Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Compounds based on pheromones Lead designer: Zoltan Drago Previous owners: Zoltan Drago; Starr Saxon; Larry Cranston; Alan Fagan Properties: Fear Inducement: This drug induces severe anxiety, fear, and panic in humans who inhaled it, rendering them incapable of fighting or resisting. The drug is most commonly used in the form of gas pellets shot from a gun. The pellets rupture on contact, releasing the flight scent, which is inhaled by the victim. The dosage contained in one pellet is enough to incapacitate a normal adult male for about 15 minutes, or an exceptionally fit male, such as Daredevil, for about five minutes. The side effects of anxiety, edginess, and mild nausea can persist for several days. Trivia: The Fear Gas predates the Fear Toxin of Batman villain Scarecrow from DC Comics. History: Fear Gas was accidently invented by Zoltan Drago based on pheromones, chemicals produced by most animals, used to communicate a variety of simple messages over distances. The particular pheromone he used is the flight-scent pheromone, which stimulates fear reactions in herd animals. He tailored it for human beings, dubbed himself Mister Fear and became criminal.; Drago was later killed by Starr Saxon, who took away Fear Gas and used it for a short time before seemingly dying. The Gas was then obtained by Larry Cranston and later by his nephew, Alan Fagan. All three of them assumed identity of Mister Fear and used Fear Gas to commit crimes.; Larry Cranston eventually developed power to induce fear even without using the Gas.; Chronic exposure to Fear Gas has resulted in Alan Fagan having an accumulation of it within his skin. Though he has not proven able to utilize this himself, samples of his skin were used by Ariel Tremmore to gain superhuman powers as Shock. ============================================================ Eye of Thelema Kind: item Page: Eye of Thelema Formal name: Eye of Thelema Type: Amulet First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 4 1 Created by: Jason Aaron; Kevin Nowlan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Magister Szandor Sozo Properties: The Eye of Thelema could record and transmit messages across dimensions, carried by magical butterflies that emerged from the eye as soon as the recording session started. Those butterflies could be destroyed. History: The Eye of Thelema was an amulet of power used by Magister Szandor Sozo, the Sorcerer Supreme of the Thirteenth Dimension.; As the Empirikul had slaughtered his friends and were closing by, and as his own magic was fading away, Sozo used the Eye (still functional) to record and send a warning across the dimension to all magicians, but Imperator destroyed the magical butterflies carrying the warning. ============================================================ Eye-Spy Kind: item Page: Eye-Spy Formal name: Eye-Spy Type: Drone First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 198 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Probably Doctor Doom's Castle, Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Designed by Doctor Doom to scan his domains of Latveria, these flying drones took images and scans of the terrain below them and sent these to a control room for human officers to review them, manually looking for intruders. These soldiers were influenced by their own prejudices and paid less attention to the images from eye-spies going through less accessible terrain.; At one time, Mister Fantastic of the Fantastic Four saw an incoming Eye-spy and tricked it (and the humans monitoring it) by extending his pliable body as a blanket to cover his prostate allies, so that they were taken by a part of the terrain. ============================================================ Fingertip Darts Kind: item Page: Fingertip Darts Formal name: Fingertip Darts Other aliases: Poison Darts Type: Weapon First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 7 Created by: Steve Englehart; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed and included these small darts to be shots from the tips of the fingers (not thumbs) of his armor's gauntlets. Each dart was a short-range projectile filled with poison. The victim, if hit, could withstand the ill effects through sheer endurance. While Doom only seldom included this in his armor, news of this weapon reached other people's ears even in the United States of America.; Up-and-coming superhero Shroud raided Latveria solo in an attempt to murder Doom himself, and tried ambushing the evil lord in a forest. When Shroud proved able to withstand his first attack, Doom shot him these finger darts; Shroud, who had heard of the weapon, was ready and dodged them easily. Before Doom could prepare a new attack, Shroud confronted him. ============================================================ Fearful Eliza Kind: item Page: Fearful Eliza Formal name: Fearful Eliza Type: Torture Device First appearance: Hellstorm: Prince of Lies Vol 1 15 Created by: Warren Ellis; Leonardo Manco Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Bailiff History: The Fearful Eliza is a torturing device that consisted in a spiked rack, intended to be used on Jaine Cutter. ============================================================ Fangs of Farallah Kind: item Page: Fangs of Farallah Formal name: Fangs of Farallah Other aliases: Fearsome Fangs of Farallah Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 2 1 Created by: Steve Englehart; Frank Brunner Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Farallah of the Hunt Place of creation: Temple of Farallah, Andes Mountains, Peru Current owner: Silver Dagger; Doctor Strange; Baron Mordo History: The Fangs of Farallah was cast by the Silver Dagger to stop the Eye of Agamotto from warning it's master.; When a N'Garai attack Clea, Doctor Strange summoned the fearsome Fangs of Farallah to counter-attack and free her.; During a sorcerers duel, Baron Mordo used the Fangs of Farallah to attack Doctor Strange.; When Doctor Strange was being attacked by the Black Knight, he used a combination of the Winds of Watoomb and the Fangs of Farallah to subdue him. ============================================================ Firefly Wine Kind: item Page: Firefly Wine Formal name: Firefly Wine Type: Drug; Wine First appearance: Thor: God of Thunder Vol 1 15 Created by: Jason Aaron; Ron Garney Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian Lead designer: Moon Elves Place of creation: Alfheim History: The Firefly Wine was a liquor that grants bioluminescence to the Moon Elves of Alfheim. ============================================================ Eye of True North Kind: item Page: Eye of True North Formal name: Eye of True North Type: Artifact First appearance: Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme Vol 1 6 Created by: Robbie Thompson; Javier Rodriguez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Nina the Conjuror Trivia: The symbol on the amulet is called "Vegvísir", an Icelandic magic sigil intended to help the bearer find their way through rough weather.

The gem is believed to have given the sword's wielders their immunity to magic. History: The Eye of Zartra is a gem created by an ancient sorcery that is almost forgotten in the modern age. Its origin has never been revealed but it was apparently named after its first known possessor, Queen Zartra of Atlantis, who lived and died 20,000 years ago. How Zartra acquired the gem has not been revealed but it is known that she kept it within her empty left eye socket, hidden behind her eyepatch.; During the Great Cataclysm that was soon to sink Atlantis, Queen Zartra was fatally wounded when an assassin stabbed her in the back. After her husband, Kamuu, quickly disposed of the assassin, the dying Zartra asked him to bring his sword to her so that she could give him a final gift. Zartra then plucked the glistening jewel from behind her eyepatch and placed it on the hilt of the sword, saying, "The Eye of Zartra...evermore one with Kamuu..." before dying. As the destruction of Atlantis began, Kamuu placed his sword in its sheath on the side of his throne, chained himself to the throne and waited for the end which soon came.; The Eye of Zartra remained part of the Sword of Kamuu for about twenty thousand years. The sword was eventually acquired by a minor sorcerer named Alaric who attempted to become immortal by using it to murder the then-current Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange. However, Alaric was thwarted when he unknowingly triggered the curse of Zartra by using the sword to draw the blood of Prince Namor of Atlantis.; Afterwards, when Doctor Strange insisted that Namor take the Sword of Kamuu back to Atlantis even though it could be used against him, Namor plucked the Eye of Zartra from the sword's hilt and gave it to Strange as a token of friendship. With the gem removed, the sword's enchantment was halved. ============================================================ Eye-Spy Cauldron Kind: item Page: Eye-Spy Cauldron Formal name: Eye-Spy Cauldron Type: Cauldron First appearance: Runaways Vol 1 9 Created by: Brian K.

When she was placed in custody, her cellmate, Doctor Strange revealed her the nature of the artifact.; When Kanna and Doctor Strange escaped, Kanna retrieved the Eye of Basphorus. Before leaving the planet, Strange jumped off Kanna's ship to activate the Eye of Basphorus and use its power to permanently seal Grynda to prevent them from ever leaving their planet, since the Gryndans had recently reconsidered interstellar travel after determining that humans were full of potential for experimentation. After Strange made use of the Eye of Basphorus, the artifact was burned out and turned into dust.; ==Properties==; The incantation necessary to unlock the Eye of Basphorus requires to be full of emotion and urgency, in other words, it requires adrenaline. Once activated, the Eye can grant its user one spell of choice, regardless of its power. The artifact can only be used once, and it turns into dust afterwards. ============================================================ Field of Green (Earth-7642) Kind: item Page: Field of Green Formal name: Field of Green Type: Document First appearance: Incredible Hulk vs. Superman Vol 1 1 Created by: Roger Stern Reality: Earth-7642 Lead designer: Betty Ross Banner History: Field of Green was an autobiography written by Betty Ross Banner. ============================================================ Eye of the Watcher (Earth-415) Kind: item Page: Eye of the Watcher Formal name: Eye of the Watcher Type: Jewel First appearance: Marvel Future Fight: An Eye on the Future Vol 1 1 Created by: Marc Sumerak; Andrea Di Vito Reality: Earth-415 Lead designer: Watchers Place of creation: Blue Area of the Moon Previous owners: Uatu the Watcher History: The Eye of the Watcher was a stone created by a race called the Watchers.

However, according to Sadurang, who kept this eye for a long time, it also has the potential to arouse madness and cannibalistic traits in its owner. History: During his time as the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, Agamotto created three magical artifacts known as the Eyes of Agamotto. This one, sometimes referred as the first or the second Eye of Agamotto, represented power and manifested strength.; At some point after its creation, this Eye of Agamotto somehow ended up in the possession of Sadurang, a powerful Asgardian dragon. Needing the item to permanently defeat the evil sorcerer Kulan Gath, Doctor Strange sent Magik, Conan, Juggernaut, and Black Knight to retrieve it. After a brief battle against Sadurang, the team was able to accomplish their mission, with Magik promising to return the Eye to the dragon once they were finished with it. Strange offered the amulet to Conan, as he planned for the Cimmerian to wear it in their upcoming final battle against Kulan Gath, but he refused it for not trusting sorcery. Having no use for it anymore, Strange locked the Eye inside a chest in the Sanctum Sanctorum.; The Eye of Power was seemingly returned to Sadurang at a later point, but Gambit stole it from him when he was confronted by the X-Men in Teotihuacan. Gambit promised to give the Eye back to Sadurang if he accepted to go to Antarctica and not eat anyone for a whole year; conditions which the dragon agreed to meet. ============================================================ Eyes of the Dragon Kind: item Page: Eyes of the Dragon Formal name: Eyes of the Dragon Type: Jewel First appearance: Secret Avengers Vol 1 6 Created by: Ed Brubaker; Mike Deodato Jr. Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Ancient One Place of creation: Kamar-Taj Current owner: Shang-Chi Previous owners: Zheng Zu, Kamran ============================================================ Eye of Alak-Rah Kind: item Page: Eye of Alak-Rah Formal name: Eye of Alak-Rah Type: Stone First appearance: Empyre: X-Men Vol 1 1 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Tini Howard; Matteo Buffagni Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; The mystical eye of Alak-Rah Lead designer: Alak-Rah Previous owners: Alak-Rah; Scarlet Witch; Magik; Doctor Strange History: Wanting to make amends for robbing the majority of the world's mutants of their powers, the Scarlet Witch formed a plan to resurrect the sixteen million dead mutants on Genosha.

Unfortunately, her spell raised the deceased mutants as zombies.; With assistance from Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch's spell was undone and the zombies were confined to Genosha. However, the spell took nearly thirty days to dissipate.; The day before the spell was broken, the Cotati landed on Genosha with plans to use it as one of their staging areas for an invasion of Wakanda.

Howard in the Kull story "Riders Beyond the Sunrise", adapted in Marvel Preview Vol 1 19 (June, 1979, written by Roy Thomas and penciled by Sal Buscema.; It is unclear what exact relation the Fangs of Damballah have with either or both Set (known as Damballah in Zembabwei during the Hyborian Age) and Damballah (a spawn of Set). Trivia: In its original depiction in "Riders Beyond the Sunrise", adapted (Marvel Preview Vol 1 19; June, 1979), the Sword of Green Fire was a single straight sword, while in Savage Avengers Vol 2 3 (July, 2022), the Fangs of Damballah were twin curved swords. History: ===Pre-Cataclysmic Age===; The Fangs of Damballah was a set of twin swords of green fire wielded by Thulsa Doom.; After having posed as the Farsunian adventurer Felnar, who had fled with Valusian noblewoman Lala-ah, and led King Kull at the World's Edge, Thulsa Doom confronted Kull and revealed the plot, before attacking him using a magic sword of green fire.; Thanks to the sword, and due to Kull's exhaustion, Thulsa Doom had the upper hand. Kelkor, one the Red Slayer, had followed Kull, swimming across the Stagus and shouted to Kull to switch weapons with his opponent. Doom was disarmed by Kull, and Kelkor caught the sword which he gave to Kull. With his skill and the magic sword, Kull easily defeated and apparently slew Thulsa Doom.; ===Hyborian Age===; Thulsa Doom was eventually resurrected into the Hyborian Age by the Cult of Set, and wielded both of the Fangs of Damballah in battle. Conan took hold of one of the Fangs, enabling him to slay Thulsa Doom, before throwing the blades away. ============================================================ Eye of Ibis Kind: item Page: Eye of Ibis Formal name: Eye of Ibis Type: Jewel First appearance: Marvel Graphic Novel Vol 1 59: Conan the Barbarian: The Horn of Azoth Created by: Gerry Conway; Roy Thomas; Mike Docherty Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Jewel Previous owners: Natari; Rammon History: ===Origin===; The Eye of Ibis was a red gem resembling an eye. Its origin, and its ties to Ibis (Thoth) are unrevealed.; ===Early years===; For untold centuries, a family guarded the Eye of Ibis, which could be used in ritual in the Crypt of Shadows, set within the Kezankian Forest, to acquire the Horn of Azoth, which they had hidden there as it couldn't be destroyed.; Given its key role in the awakening of Azoth, the Dreaming God, the Eye of Ibis was held sacred in the eyes of Azoth's followers.; ===Hyborian Age of Conan===; By the Hyborian Age of Conan, the Eye of Ibis was kept in a chamber at the heart of the Temple of Ibis, an eerie structure at the center of a lake set three days of travel east of Shadizar, capital of Zamora, along the Road of Kings. The temple was the dwelling of the sorcerer Rammon and of his eponymous son, and was guarded by black warriors led by Shumballa. The treasure chamber wasn't itself guarded by men, but by giant leeches.; Under the guidance of her father Karanthes, Natari, escorted by the mute Strabo, hired the help of Conan to steal the Eye of Ibis. After he snatched the Eye of Ibis, Rammon alerted the guards and charged himself at Conan, who threw his sword at Rammon, slaying him. Conan then fled the place, pursued by Shumballa and her warriors, and by the son of Rammon, on his own. The Eye was used in the ritual, seemingly consumed by the ritual or left behind. Conan was then betrayed and knocked unconscious by Strabo, while Natari and Strabo left with the Horn. ============================================================ First Tarot Kind: item Page: First Tarot Formal name: First Tarot Other aliases: Tarot of the Secret Flame Type: Unique Artifact First appearance: Secret Defenders Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Andre Coates Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Ashake Current owner: Blue Marvel Previous owners: Ashake; Doctor Strange; Ian McNee Properties: Divination: The First Tarot is a powerful magical artifact, capable to show the past, present and future. Unlike normal tarot cards the First Tarot were able to change their pictures to reflect the future and better help to predict it, for example, one of the card showed Ashake images of Heka-Nut, Magik and Mirage. The First Tarot are linked by magic to every living being on Earth and from them can chose and show the single best representative for each card's Archetype. The First Tarot communicates with its user, it triggers user's memories to help them recognize the person depicted on the cards, if they ever met, heard or read about this person. If user doesn't know the person on the card, the First Tarot provides subtle clues, anything that can give the user insight, for example, a song, a color, a smell. The user then had to look for more details on their own, but if they are on the right track, with each new detail they would get additional clues from the First Tarot, until they can figure out the person on the card.; It has been shown that what person an Arcana represents changes with each use of the Tarot, and that a person can be represented with different Arcana each time they are summoned. For example, during Doctor Strange's readings he drew different cards depicting himself, The Magician, The Hermit and The Magician, reversed.; Ashake originally created the cards on bones, but they can change to reflect the era, so in modern times they were made of paper.; ==Known Cards==; ===Major Arcana===; #; Card; Keywords; Ian McNee's reading; Doctor Strange's reading; 0; The Fool; Doctor Druid; 1; The Magician; Action, consciousness, concentration, personal power, crossroads, energy, creativity, movement, precision, conviction, manipulation, self-confidence, elements, focusing, determination, initiative; Doctor Strange (9/10); Ian McNee (1/10); Doctor Strange; Doctor Strange (reversed); 2; The High Priestess; Intuition, mystery, calmness, silence, inner voice, deep understanding, discretion, sensitivity, distance, stability, wisdom, unconscious knowledge, patience, looking inward, contemplation, subjective mind; Agatha Harkness (1/3); Wanda Maximoff (1/3); Ororo Munroe (1/3); Namorita; Shadowwoman; Red Harpy (reversed); 3; The Empress; Mothering, fertility, sexuality, abundance, material prosperity, pleasure, comfort, power, nature, delight, physical attraction, health, sensuality, beaty, satisfaction; Morgan Le Fay; 4; The Emperor; Authority, power, control, discipline, command, status quo, order, structure, egocentrism, tradition, leadership, experience, inflexibility, organization; Naga / Nagala (1/2); Doctor Doom (1/2); 5; The Hierophant; Information, institution, conservatism, discipline, formality, social convention, belief system, conformity, experience, tradition, obedience to the rules, status quo; Modred the Mystic; Masked Raider (reversed); 6; The Lovers; Union, passion, soulmates, connection, individual values, personal beliefs, romance, bonding, affinity, desire; Cloak and Dagger; Malachi and Korahn; Cloud (reversed); 7; The Chariot; Conquest, victory, egocentrism, conviction, willpower, discipline; Devil-Slayer; 8; Strength; Self-control, patience, compassion, composure, stability, perseverance, kindness, gentleness, slowness, softness, serenity, discipline, inner strength; Golem; Deadpool and Luke Cage; 9; The Hermit; Introspection, silence, reflection, withdrawal, isolation, retreat; Living Mummy; Nomad; Sleepwalker (reversed); Doctor Strange; 10; Wheel of Fortune; Destiny, fate, surprises, expansion, turning point, opportunities, possibilities.

It was theorized by Loki that was a hint to the true identity of the Enigma, the mysterious threat the Defenders were sent to find.; Loki's theory is later proven correct. Enigma is represented by a crown and is a Dominion of the original Nathaniel Essex, who created four clones (each with a different card suit). History: The First Tarot were a set of cards made of bones, with images painted on them. They were created by Ashake, a powerful sorceress from Ancient Egypt. Ashake wasn't skilled in divination and precognition, so to aid herself she created these cards. The Ogdoad, the first generation of Egyptian gods, specifically Nu of the primordial waters, Amun, who rules air and the invisible, Hauhet, whose influence is space and visible matter and Keku, whose domain is darkness and chaos, either aided Ashake in the creation of the cards, or empowered them.; Ashake created them by observing and recording certain archetypical individuals. While these Archetypes existed even before Atlantis, the First Tarot were the first instance of them being recorded and structured in such a way that they could show the past, present and future. Eventually these cards served as the inspiration for the tarot cards.; The fate of the cards after the 11th century BC when Ashake used them is unknown. In modern times the First Tarot were obtained by Doctor Strange who used them to select heroes for the Secret Defenders, suitable for specific missions and then informing them with a spell or even directly summoning them. Doctor Strange later gave the cards to Ian McNee, who used them for several years. Eventually Strange got the deck back. After being warned by the Masked Raider about the threat that Carlo Zota posed to the timeline, Strange cast a spell to quickly assemble the new Defenders team, by summoning the people depicted on the cards he drew. However, it quickly backfired, then he drew The Lovers card depicting Cloud, a living sentient nebula who had to consciously transform themselves, but the spell summoned them in their natural default state which threatened to destroy the planet. To prevent it Strange surrendered control over the spell, letting the magic to work without rules. It worked, and Cloud was summoned in humanoid form, however, the spell became attached to the Tarot and now any time the card was drawn the person depicted on it would be summoned. After Strange's death, a spell was activated which sent the Tarot among other things to Blue Marvel and forcefully summoned another new team of Defenders for him. ============================================================ Fang (Drug) Kind: item Page: Fang (Drug) Formal name: Fang Type: Drug First appearance: Spider-Man vs. Vampires Digital Comic Vol 1 2 Created by: Kevin Grevioux Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Glenn Silas Current owner: Solomon Negus Properties: The drug is highly addictive temporarily turning those who use it into vampires.

When the whole team encountered Bloodbath again, he was still able to easily penetrate Layla's force field. When Bloodbath possessed Jamie's corpse, Layla used her device to perform an exorcism.; With tensions still high after learning the truth about Strong Guy's resurrection, when Monet saw that Madcox had been resurrected, she assumed the worst, attacked Layla, and flew her to the top of the Empire State Building. Layla purposely chose not to use her force-field glove during the attack because she needed to speak with Monet and gain her trust.; When Angelique Sasson tried to commit suicide, Layla used her force-field glove to rescued her by jumping off the building after her and using the force field to cushion their fall.; Although her force field was generally used defensively, Layla used it offensively to escape from a cab when she and Jamie were captured returning home from their honeymoon. After escaping, Layla used her force field again to protect the pair from arrows and rocks.; When Darwin arrived at X-Factor Investigations Headquarters trying to killed Tier, Jamie had Layla used her force field to hold back Wolfsbane while he talked Darwin out of murdering Tier. Shortly after this encounter, Layla used her force field to protect the team from the Hell Lords, but Pluto was able to destroyed the force field with a snap of his fingers and injury Layla in the process. During the Hell on Earth War, Layla used her force field to protect an injured Monet from demons, to deflect Jezebel's flames, and to contain Demon Madrox.; During a confrontation with authorities at the Madrox Family Farm, the force-field glove was badly damaged by a device of unknown origin (though Layla theorized it may have been designed by Reed Richards or S.H.I.E.L.D.).; Next, Harry Snow picked up the device when he bought the rights to the name "X-Factor". Snow used Serval Industries make some adjustments to the device and wired it to create a force field large enough to encompass the entire Serval Industries' Head Office. He first used the force-field glove to protect against an attack by Memento Mori and his forces. The force-field glove was next used to protect Serval Industries from the influence of Red Skull and to protect the Nuclear Football from an attack by Sentinels. The shields were only lowered when the Sentinels threaten to murder Angela Snow. ============================================================ Force Armor (Earth-904913) Kind: item Page: Force Armor (Earth-904913) Formal name: Force Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 2 5 Created by: Philippe Guyenne; Brandon Auman; Kevin Burke; Chris Wyatt Reality: Earth-904913 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark International Designers Place of creation: Stark Tower Previous owners: Clayton Wilson Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: Force Armor: Force uses an armored suit that is a shoddy copy of Iron Man's.

Gage; Steve Uy Reality: Earth-78411; Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Hag of the Pits Place of creation: The Pits, Dinosaur World Current owner: Reptil Previous owners: Hag of the Pits; Coat of Arms Model: Unique Properties: The jewel that fused itself to Humberto was originally a singular relic that contained all the unique metaphysical powers of the Cretaceous Plane she called home.; The relic had been endowed with the power to command both flora and fauna of the ancient realm in all of its forms, allowing its user to command the forces of nature in its every aspect. From controlling animal life to alternating environmental norms through said amulet, it's powers were split when the Hag sent it to Earth rendering with only a fraction of the full gemstones power as a result.; One half giving a wielder the ability to become ancient thunder lizard manifests while retaining undermined proportions dependent upon the wielders own physiological anatomy. While the other gives power over the Earth and the adjacent elements related to it; i.e. soil, ground, plant life, minerals, etc. Notes: Both Tigra and Hank Pym have theorized that Reptil's fossil is merely a catalyst for his powers and not the source, but there is no evidence to support this claim.; Although Reptil requires the amulet as a power source on Earth-616, Reptil on Earth-91119 no longer requires the amulet to transform. Trivia: Reptil has mentioned that the fossil will not grant others the ability to transform into dinosaurs, and that he cannot transform without it.; One exception appears to be Coat of Arms, who was briefly able to utilize the amulet's power. History: ===Origin===; Fearing the eventual judgments of the gods and knowing her world would need to be saved, the Hag of the Pits on Dinosaur World created the jewel to empower the Chosen One with the strength of the animals he would have to one day protect. Her relative and eventual enemy, Megalith, wished to possess the artifact and use it to control the ancient primeval world as it had always been anathema to him while it welcomed his grandmother. But he was repelled while the sorceress deposited it into a firepit for safe keeping, but the transition between worlds caused the amulet to split into two; thus halving its true powers between them.; ===Reptil===; Somehow the fossil was discovered by the Lopez's and fell into the hands of Humberto Lopez catalyzing his ability to transform into prehistoric animals.; Originally, Reptil wore the amulet around his neck, but the fossil eventually embedded itself into his chest.; Believing it to be the center of his power, Jeremy Briggs forcibly removed the jewel from Reptil's chest in an effort to de-power him.; Coat of Arms claimed to have tapped into the power of the fossil and White Tiger's Amulets of Power, but Reptil and White Tiger were able to gain them back by embracing their true potential and learning about the origins of the artifacts in a vision.; It appears the fossil is once again embedded within Reptil's chest.; clear ============================================================ Flux-Cannon Kind: item Page: Flux-Cannon Formal name: Flux-Cannon Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Avengers Vol 3 25 Created by: Kurt Busiek; George Perez Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Iron Man Additional designers: Henry Pym Place of creation: Avengers Mansion, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Avengers History: The Flux-Cannon was built to break through the defenses of the Exemplars's flying stone fortress. ============================================================ Five Japanese Swords of Secrets Kind: item Page: Five Japanese Swords of Secrets Formal name: Five Japanese Swords of Secrets Other aliases: The Five Swords of Secrets; Swords of Secrets; 五刀の秘密 Type: Swords First appearance: X-Men: Kitty Pryde - Shadow & Flame Vol 1 3 Created by: Akira Yoshida; Paul Smith Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Japan Current owner: Kenuichio Harada; Clan Yashida Previous owners: Ogun; Nao; Shadowcat; Path of Destiny History: The Five Swords of Secrets (五刀の秘密, Go Katana no Himitsu) are a set of ancient Japanese swords of exceptional craftsmanship, which can become a sign of power and respect in the hands of a leader of stature. The swords themselves however are exceptionally sturdy, and with sufficient strength can be used to slice most katana in half.; Kurokaze – Kurokaze, the Black Wind, once belonged to Ogun but was long believed lost. The Path of Destiny, a cult of Ogun's former followers, came back into possession of the sword, and took it as a sign to make their presence known.; Ginrei – Ginrei, the Silver Spirit, has long remained in the possession of the Clan Yashida. ============================================================ Fleur du Mal Kind: item Page: Fleur du Mal Formal name: Fleur du Mal Other aliases: The Blood Sword; The Bloodline; Blutdämmerung; The Demon Sword; Il Fiore del Male; Proto-Sword; Xiphos Sword Type: Sword First appearance: Contest of Champions Vol 1 1 Created by: Al Ewing; Paco Medina Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Jeannine Sauvage Previous owners: Alexis Sauvage; Odette Sauvage; Yves Desmarais; Aurore Desmarais; Franchot Desmarais; Jean Desmarais Alternate owners: Jeannine Sauvage; Haasen Properties: La Fleur du Mal appears to be a sentient being with a never-ending thirst for blood, which is absorbed by the sword as it cuts through the enemies of its wielder. The sword speaks directly to its user's mind, so it normally can't be heard by other people. However, Gamora has been shown to be able to hear it.; La Fleur du Mal was able to slightly cut through an alternate version of Captain America's Shield during a battle with the Maestro.; When Guillotine tried to use the sword against Rick Jones, the weapon refused to cut him, having deemed Jones "unclean" due to Eddie Brock loaning him the bloodless Venom symbiote. Guillotine was instead forced to defeat Jones by summoning the spirits of La Fleur du Mal's previous wielders. Notes: The sword's name was confirmed in the Marvel Contest of Champions video game, for which both it and Guillotine were specifically created.; The sword's name translates to "The Flower of Evil" in English. In French, "fleur" can also be used to refer to something that causes attraction or seduction.; Les Fleurs du mal is the name of French poet Charles Baudelaire's most famous work. History: La Fleur du Mal was found by Jean Desmarais in the Parisian catacombs in October of 1793 when he was escaping prosecution. The sword offered him protection and a means to destroy his enemies in exchange for swearing a blood oath. Thus, Jean Desmarais and his descendants were cursed with the obligation to wield the sword under the identity of Guillotine. ============================================================ Friday (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Friday (Earth-12041) Formal name: Friday Other aliases: Girl Friday Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel's Avengers Assemble Season 3 1 Created by: Eugene Son Reality: Earth-12041 Origin: Created by Tony Stark to be his new personal A.I. assistant Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark History: Friday was Tony Stark's new artificial intelligence program, replacing Jarvis while his system is in Vision. ============================================================ Freeze Grenade Kind: item Page: Freeze Grenade Formal name: Freeze Grenade Type: Grenade First appearance: Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 2 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Doom Place of creation: Latveria Previous owners: Victor von Doom History: Victor von Doom's first recorded invention, while he was a young traveling gypsy in a caravan. The freeze grenade looks like a melon made of metal, and was a one-hand-held throwable weapon. Doom used it once against a tank attacking his caravan - the tank was quickly engulfed in a block of ice, while the temperature fell one hundred degrees. The soldiers had to forfeit any chase. Doom used other freeze grenades to freeze infantry soldiers in the run.; Doom, considering this device a simple toy, has not employed this item during his adult life. ============================================================ Force Cage Kind: item Page: Force Cage Formal name: Force Cage Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 288 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: The book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 suggests that Doctor Doom was likely to have a unit of this device at his castle in Latveria. History: Doctor Doom specifically developed this prison to hold the Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four. It included a podium that generated glowing rods of force connected to a ceiling piece to imprison the victim in a spherical shape. These cylinders were attuned to the mental energy frequencies of the force fields generated by the Invisible Woman: Should she try to escape using her powers, the machine generated a feedback causing severe damage, and the bars were kept in place. The bars could be broken using physical strength beyond the possibilities of the Invisible Woman. This device had a separated control panel to activate and deactivate the bars.; Doctor Doom had one of these devices in the basement of the Latverian Embassy of New York City, and attached its control panel to the ones of three other unique cages for the other members of the Fantastic Four - the Aquarium Cage, the Molecular Cage and the Plasteel Sphere. Once, Doom imprisoned the Invisible Woman in this item and her colleagues of the Fantastic Four in the others. Doom intended to make them witness his triumph by restoring his original body and summoning the Beyonder. Mister Fantastic talked his way out of this situation, being released himself while Doom was teleported away. Having this chance, Fantastic released the Invisible Woman and his other partners. ============================================================ Freeze-Unit Kind: item Page: Freeze-Unit Formal name: Freeze-Unit Type: Technology First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 12 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Bob Hall Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed and built this inconspicuous device that could be incorporated in any of his armor's gauntlets. The item, when activated, allowed Doom to congeal the air and thus create a layer of ice.; At one point, Doom was dueling the Red Skull in the Moon surface, and the Skull succeeded at breaching Doom's chestplate with a Ionic Blade (also developed by Doom). Doom use the Freeze-Unit in his left gauntlet to seal the crack with a layer of ice. However, this required Doom to hold the gauntlet in that position, leaving him only one hand to defeat the Skull. After defeating the Skull singlehandedly, pun intended, Doom re-entered a hermetic location and could restore the armor. ============================================================ Frequency Cannon Kind: item Page: Frequency Cannon Formal name: Frequency Cannon Type: Energy Weapon; Firearm First appearance: Agents of Atlas Vol 2 2 Created by: Jeff Parker; Carlo Pagulayan; Gabriel Hardman Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Uranian-based technology Lead designer: Robert Grayson Additional designers: Atlas Foundation Current owner: Atlas Foundation History: A weapon developed by the Atlas Foundation, capable of producing an aimed electromagnetic pulse. ============================================================ Flight Harnesses Kind: item Page: Flight Harnesses Formal name: Flight Harnesses Type: Flight Harness First appearance: Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 6 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Reed Richards Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Fantastic Four ============================================================ Framework (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Framework Formal name: Framework Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lead designer: Leo Fitz Additional designers: Holden Radcliffe; A.I.D.A.; Daisy Johnson; Deke Shaw Current owner: Deke Shaw Previous owners: Leo Fitz; Holden Radcliffe; A.I.D.A. Notes: In an interview with Entertainment Weekly about the episode "Self Control" of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., showrunners Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon describe the Framework as an alternate reality.; This makes the Framework the first foray into the traditional Multiverse shown in a Marvel Cinematic Universe product. Trivia: Similar to Earth-85826 and Earth-616 during Secret Empire, the Framework is a reality ruled by Hydra.; The virtual reality within the Framework features several key points of divergence from the real world. These resulted from some, but not all, of its users' biggest regrets and desires:; Jeffrey Mace was born an Inhuman.; Phil Coulson turned down an offer to join S.H.I.E.L.D..; Alphonso Mackenzie's daughter Hope wasn't born with the unstable medical condition that killed her, allowing Mack to raise her as a loving father.; Melinda May managed to save Katya Belyakov in Bahrain.; Leo Fitz grew up with his father Alistair instead of his mother. He also met and fell in love with Ophelia at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, instead of meeting and befriending Jemma Simmons.; The "Butterfly effect" of these changes resulted in a change in history that lead to the premature death of some individuals, the survival of others, and major changes to other characters, such as Grant Ward being recruited to join S.H.I.E.L.D. by Victoria Hand, instead of being recruited to join Hydra by John Garrett. History: The Framework was originally designed by Leo Fitz to help S.H.I.E.L.D. agents serving under Melinda May train without fear of injury. Using the knowledge obtained from the Darkhold, Holden Radcliffe later expanded it into a full digital recreation of the world without suffering, into which he first plugged his terminally ill girlfriend Agnes Kitsworth.; A.I.D.A. corrupted Radcliffe's ideal when she plugged S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Jeffrey Mace, Phil Coulson, Alphonso Mackenzie, Melinda May and Leo Fitz into the Framework. Undoing all their biggest regrets resulted in a totalitarian world dominated by Hydra. They were eventually extracted by their colleagues, and A.I.D.A. decided to shut down the Framework in response, erasing all digital minds in it.; In an alternate future of Earth-17516 Deke Shaw had recovered remains of the Framework and made it into a leisure relaxation experience. After traveling into the present day of Earth-199999, Shaw rebuild Framework into a virtual reality game Remorath Rumble which he planned to distribute commercially.; ==Inhabitants==; See Framework/Characters ============================================================ Flashlight of Mister Moto (Earth-9047) Kind: item Page: Flashlight of Mister Moto Formal name: Flashlight of Mister Moto Type: Artifact First appearance: What The--?!

Silva Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Brainstorm Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City Current owner: Fantastic Four History: The Forever Gate originated as a teleporter built by Valeria Richards using many kinds of technologies, including the telepods operated by the Griever at the End of All Things, the Kree Omni-Wave Projector, and the Krakoan Gateways. However, she hadn't figured out a way to power it up.; When the alien Cormorant scoured the Earth in search for a mysterious item, he targeted Container Zero, a lockbox hidden beneath the Baxter Building by Mister Fantastic that contained a spark of Zero Force. While the Fantastic Four attempted to stop him, Valeria looked up what was inside Container Zero. After the Cormorant had cracked open the lockbox and unleashed the Zero Force, Valeria arrived at the scene and flew her teleporter into the heart of the Zero Force. It reconfigured and channeled all the energy into itself, assembling a dimensional doorway to every point in space and time, which was dubbed by Doctor Doom the Forever Gate.; With the portal being unstoppable and immovable, the Fantastic Four set up a watch to guard it from any outsiders until they could dismantle it. In the meantime, Brainstorm figured out a way to operate and program the portal, creating a control for this purpose. When the Fantastic Four used the portal to bring back the Future Foundation from their cosmic journey, the interstellar beacon they employed remained active and forced the pathway to stay open. Hours later, this opening was used by aliens fleeing from the Griever at the End of All Things to reach the Earth. The Griever eventually used the portal herself, and confronted the Fantastic Four in an attempt to defeat the depowered Franklin Richards. She also intended to force Mister Fantastic to teach her how to operate the Forever Gate to use it to link up to every place and time period and fulfill her sole purpose of destruction. After Franklin cornered the Griever using the Ultimate Nullifier, Mister Fantastic came up with the idea to offer the Griever the chance to use the Forever Gate for a one-way trip into the future to the natural end of the universe so she could finish it off, and she agreed.; During the Hulk's ongoing conflict with the Leader, Jen Walters joined forces with him. After she entered in contact with The Thing, the Fantastic Four lent the Hulk use of the Forever Gate so he could travel to the Below-Place.; However, the Forever Gate couldn't be used by Hulk to return to Earth due to the Below-Place's location chaotically shifting until Walt Langkowski came to help. As he was in the body of Doc Samson who received his gamma powers from Hulk, Reed Richards and Walt used Samson's gamma frequency to locate Hulk's, allowing Hulk to return to Earth.; The Reckoning, in their quest to claim the three Nexuses of All Reality which included the M'kraan Crystal and the Apex of All Reality, sent Ruin into leading the Badoon to claim the Forever Gate. They attacked the Baxter Building, prompting Valeria to initiate Protocol: Zero which served to sabotage the Gate and shut it down permanently. After ending up in Thought Space, Valeria used her imagination to recreate the Forever Gate, but after the Reckoning was defeated, Reed decided to shut it down again.; ==Properties==; The Forever Gate serves as a link to every single location ever across space and time. Originally, if one were to step through the portal, their destination would be completely random. Valeria Richards managed to create a control panel that can sort through the Forever Gate's infinite variables to pinpoint any one specific location in all of time and space. The Forever Gate was also originally perpetual. With safeties of Bentley-23's design, Valeria managed to limit the functionality of the Forever Gate so only the Fantastic Four could open and close the aperture three times a month.; Soon after the Forever Gate's creation, Reed sent Johnny and Sky to take readings off the Nexus of All Realities in the Everglades. They discovered that they are the same, except Johnny noted that the nexus in swamp is magical and random, while the Forever Gate can be controlled.; The Forever Gate does have its limits. For example, the Below-Place is chaotically shifting and only way for it to maintain a connection is to use the Hulk's gamma radiation as a guide. Without the Hulk, attempting to find and travel to the Below-Place would have to be at random, which is a 1 in infinite chance. ============================================================ Flight Belt Kind: item Page: Flight Belt Formal name: Flight Belt Type: Belt; Flight Harness First appearance: ClanDestine Vol 1 8 Created by: Alan Davis Reality: Earth-616 Origin: British Lead designer: Newton Destine Place of creation: Ethera Current owner: Hex; Wallop; Clan Destine Previous owners: Adam Destine Trivia: Because Walter's monstrous form was too large to fit the Flight Belt around his waist, he was forced to wear the belt on his forearm causing him to fly lopsided.

Although the trio shared stories and bonded, they didn't find any crimes. Meanwhile, the police unable the evening crime wave because they were too busy fielding calls about strange creatures hovering over the city.; While chaperoning Crimson Crusader and Imp on patrol, Adam used the Flight Belt to accompany them into the city.

They lodge in the body like tapeworms and release gamma slowly. Its preliminary effects caused its consumers to become stronger and heal faster, but it was expected that long-term exposure could turn them into zombie-like creatures. History: Fortify was an alleged brain/body supplement through which Project Green Spring marketed small-size gamma grafts to the population of Thomasville, Texas. They complemented it with a fearmongering and populist radio marketing campaign. After discovering the existence of Green Spring, Gamma Flight raided their base in Thomasville. They hijacked their Cathexis Ray and, in tandem with the station's broadcast equipment, they managed to transmit a Cathexis pulse across town.

History: After Alchemax discovered a Deathlok's arm in 2022, they started experimenting on that and in year 2067 they developed Formula-D, a nanobots composite that was able to turn human's dead bodies into Deathloks. Alchemax's chief, Tyler Stone immediately sent his cyborg soldiers against his main competitors; unable to create anything similar to the Deathloks, Stark-Fujikawa's employees reactivated some old technologies... including the evil robot Ultron, who took control over Deathloks and started his war against humanity. Alchemax became the key of Ultron's Empire of Machines, and Formula-D labs allowed him to turn 75% of humanity into Deathloks by the year 2099.; Formula-D was used by the evil robot during the corporate wars when he turned many people living in a colony into Deathloks, including Jake Gallows' family, who he was forced to kill.; After Ultron successfully killed the time-displaced Savage Avengers, he turned them into cyborg using the Formula, but the heroic Deathlok Miles Morales was able to overcome Ultron's program causing the Avengers to gain control over Formula-D nanobots which rebuild their damaged bodies, freeing them from the cyborg condition. What they left of Formula-D was later used by Ultron to turn the deceased Punisher into his ultimate Deathlok soldier, however, Miles convinced him to rebel against his master. ============================================================ Forever Stone (TRN1875) Kind: item Page: Forever Stone Formal name: Forever Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 8 1 Created by: Ryan North; Humberto Ramos Reality: TRN1875 Origin: Long-lasting stone Lead designer: Mister Fantastic Current owner: Fantastic Four Material: Granite History: The Forever Stone was a chunk of granite that endured for most of Earth's history.

Lead designer: Bruce Banner Place of creation: Los Diablos Missile Base, New Mexico Current owner: Unknown Previous owners: Bruce Banner History: The Gamma Ray Projector was an immense device that harnessed and projected beams of concentrated gamma radiation. Inventor Bruce Banner designed the projector based on the same technology that he used when creating the Gamma Bomb that first transformed him into the incredible Hulk. Also referred to as the Gamma Gun, it was first used when Banner needed it to repel an invasion of alien Tribbitites.; Banner then created a second, smaller Gamma Ray Projector, which he secretly erected inside his sanctuary cave. He left operating instructions with Rick Jones who in turn used it to give the Hulk restricted doses of Gamma radiation. These treatments enabled Bruce Banner to maintain his intellect while still in the form of the Hulk.; After having heard the distress call from the high lama of Llhasa, Bruce Banner activated the projector once again to help as Hulk against the invasion of General Fang and his bloodthirsty horde.; As Dr. Banner continued to switch back and forth between his human and his Hulk form, the Gamma Ray Machine grew more unpredictable each time it was used, manifesting unexpected side effects, such as partial transformation or delayed reaction to the exposure.; The machine was activated again by a spy who infiltrated the Los Diablos Missile Base, becoming the Abomination: he then destroyed the Gamma Ray Project before it overloaded his body with radiation. ============================================================ Gamma Bomb Kind: item Page: Gamma Bomb Formal name: Gamma Bomb Other aliases: G-Bomb Type: Bomb First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 1 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Bruce Banner Additional designers: Eliot A. Franklin Place of destruction: New Mexico Previous owners: Bruce Banner; Eliot A. Franklin; Samuel Sterns Notes: A similarly named device referred to as a "Gamma Charge" was deployed as a last resort against the Hulk and his opponent (Absorbing Man) at the conclusion of the 2003 Ang Lee film Hulk (film). The name implies that it is a derivative of the original technology, adapted into a weapon. It was small enough to be mounted onto an aircraft-launched missile and irradiated a wide area upon detonation. History: The Gamma Bomb was a nuclear weapon designed by Dr. Bruce Banner. The bomb had a high gamma radiation output.; Banner was present in the instrumentation bunker at the test site for the first underground detonation of the gamma bomb. Observing that a civilian had breached security and entered the restricted test area, Banner told his colleague Igor Starsky to delay the countdown while he tried to get the civilian to safety. Starsky, secretly a Soviet agent, did nothing, confident that Banner would die in the explosion, bringing the project to a halt. Reaching the civilian, a teenager named Rick Jones, Banner threw him into a protective trench. Before Banner could get himself to safety, the gamma bomb detonated. Intense waves of radiation reached the surface and Banner was irradiated with highly charged radioactive particles. Banner died, but the Gamma Bomb created a metaphysical barrier called the Green Door that connected Earth with the Below-Place, the bottom layer of the Multiverse. The Green Door brought Banner back to life, but the time span between his death and resurrection was so short, his death went unnoticed. Following his quick revival, Banner was mutated by the radiation and it caused him to transform into the Hulk for the first time.; It was modified somewhat by Tony Stark which decreased the blast radius thus inadvertently saving the lives of Bruce and Rick.; Elliot Franklin later developed an advanced miniaturized bomb.; A later American test of a small gamma bomb inadvertently created Digger. ============================================================ Gatekeepers (Item) Kind: item Page: Gatekeepers (Item) Formal name: Gatekeepers Other aliases: Gatekeeper Type: Robot First appearance: Warlock Vol 5 1 Created by: Louise Simonson; Pasqual Ferry Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Mainspring ============================================================ Gauntlets of Ares Kind: item Page: Gauntlets of Ares Formal name: Gauntlets of Ares Type: Gauntlets First appearance: Marvel Treasury Edition Vol 1 24 Created by: Mary Jo Duffy; Ricardo Villamonte Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Olympian; Magical Current owner: Hippolyta Material: Adamantine (Metal) Model: Unique History: The Gauntlets of Ares are a form of armor that grants the wearer strength equal to that of Hercules and were used by Hippolyta.; It remains unclear if she still uses them.; Clear ============================================================ Gem of Infinite Suns Kind: item Page: Gem of Infinite Suns Formal name: Gem of Infinite Suns Type: Jewel First appearance: Thor Vol 2 32 Created by: Dan Jurgens; Andy Kubert Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Previous owners: Odin Properties: Forged from the heart of a star, the Gem of Infinite Suns has the power of a multitude of suns, containing the essence of unlimited solar power. The gem can counter the power and effects of the Casket of Ancient Winters, as well as boiling and set and ocean ablaze. History: Eons ago, the Gem of Infinite Suns was forged in the fires of a star. The gem was stored among Odin's personal treasures. When Malekith attacked Asgard using the Casket of Ancient Winters, Thor retrieved the Gem and used it to counteract the icy abilities of the Casket to free Asgard. Once everything was returned to normal, Thor locked the Casket with the Gem and sent both to an unknown dimension using Mjolnir.; At some point the Gem of Infinite Suns was retrieved by Asgard. After Asgardia was destroyed, the weapons stored in Odin's vault were scattered across the realms. The Gem of Infinite Suns landed on Earth's Southern Ocean and was swallowed by a shark. After fighting Namor, Thor located the gem and extracted it from the shark's corpse, storing it with other recovered artifacts. ============================================================ Gammascope Kind: item Page: Gammascope Formal name: Gammascope Type: Technology First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 285 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Bruce Banner Place of creation: Northwind Observatory, New York Place of destruction: Northwind Observatory, New York Previous owners: Bruce Banner History: The Gammascope was an over-sized telescope housed at Northwind Observatory in Upstate New York. Constructed by scientist Dr. Bruce Banner, it was designed for the purpose of analyzing gamma irradiated particles in outer space. The creation fulfilled Banner's wish to use Gamma radiation for peaceful means, in particular to to cure diseases such as cancer. It did cure the cancer-stricken dog Sirius and was soon used to treat a human as well, Max Stryker. The side effect of the Gammascope was that it turned its subjects green. ============================================================ Gehenna Stone Kind: item Page: Gehenna Stone Formal name: Gehenna Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Wolverine Vol 2 11 Created by: Peter David; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Gehenna Place of creation: Gehenna Place of destruction: Madripoor Previous owners: Ba'al; Burt Corrigan; Lindsay McCabe; O'Donnell; Captain Tai; Larry; Gar Dimensions: Approximately the size of a softball Model: N/A Version: N/A Notes: The Gehenna Stone played a pivotal role in "The Gehenna Stone Affair". History: The Gehenna Stone was a multi-faceted, circular rock which served as a repository of power for the evil entity known as Ba'al. It was named for the city of Gehenna, a desolate wasteland in modern-day Jerusalem where the stone was first forged. Millennia ago, Ba'al led his followers through various perverse and hideous rituals, including drinking the blood of human beings.; It is believed that God was so offended by the atrocities committed in Gehenna that he sent forth a proud warrior known as the Hand of God to stop him. The Hand of God slew Ba'al, but his inherent evil was so strong, that it literally spilled forth from his dead body and entered a glittering multi-faceted stone. Cut by his own followers, this enchanted rock became known as the Gehenna Stone. Ba'al's followers rebelled against the Hand of God, but the Hand of God persevered, splintering the Gehenna Stone into pieces with his sword. He then cast the fragments across the four corners of the globe, ensuring that Ba'al's soul could never reconstitute itself. These fragments remained undiscovered for centuries and as such, Ba'al's evil remained dormant.; In the late 20th century, a few fragments of the Gehenna Stone were uncovered and Ba'al's spirit awakened. As more and more pieces were discovered, Ba'al recovered enough strength that he was able to take possession of a mortal host and reconstitute his corporeal form. From there, he used his power to create his Baalist followers, pseudo-vampires who lived and died at Ba'al's command. To achieve his full might however, he needed all of the pieces of the Gehenna Stone.; One of the fragments was discovered by the mentally unstable Burt Corrigan, a man who patterned himself after famous heroes of the silver screen, not the least of which included Indiana Jones. Corrigan found a Gehenna Stone fragment while on an expedition in Egypt. He donated it to the San Francisco museum of antiquities, but upon discovering the gem's true power, decided to finagle his way onto the board of directors so he could steal it.; Ba'al learned that Corrigan possessed the fragment and sent his pseudo-vampires after him. Fortunately for Corrigan, he had help. His brother Archie was present in San Francisco, as well as Archie's friends, "Patch" (aka Wolverine) and Jessica Drew. The Baalists failed to kill Corrigan, but they did succeed in recovering the stone fragment. Afterward, Ba'al headed towards Madripoor to find the last missing piece.; He eventually arrived in Madripoor at the court of the country's undisputed leader, Prince Baran. Baran was now in possession of the final piece of the Gehenna Stone. Ba'al offered to make Baran immortal in exchange for the stone, but grew impatient with Baran when he didn't immediately commit to a decision. He took the last fragment and was finally able to make the Gehenna Stone complete.; Wolverine and Jessica Drew arrived at the castle, and Wolverine had a third encounter with Ba'al. During their fight, Ba'al found himself suddenly scared of Wolverine, but could not understand why. He had no way of knowing that Wolverine was the reincarnation of the Hand of God -- the warrior who first slew him ages ago. Wolverine stabbed at the artifact with his Adamantium claws, shattering it once again. ============================================================ Gammatron Kind: item Page: Gammatron Formal name: Gammatron Other aliases: Gammatron Bombarder Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 128 Created by: Roy Thomas; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: U.S. Military Additional designers: Tony Stark; Raoul Stoddard, Leonard Samson; T'Challa Previous owners: General "Thunderbolt" Ross Notes: The Gammatron has similar capabilities of the Bruce Banner designed Gamma Gun.; The Gammatron appears conducive to the technology Leonard Samson used in his Cathexis Ray Generator, Reed Richards' Nega-Gamma Gun, and the Leader's Gamma Gun. History: There have been multiple versions of the Gammatron. "Thunderbolt" Ross made the initiative for the military to develop this item. Initially it was designed to defeat the Hulk by bombarding the man-monster with Gamma Energy. This prototype was referred to as a Gammatron Bombarder. When the Avengers used the Gammatron on the Hulk he deflected its blasts back into the machine and destroyed it. The Assemblers thought the machine was ineffective in stopping the Hulk. However, in actuality it weakened him a great deal; and the effects were not evident until after their battle.; Later the primary purpose of the Gammatron has been to cure Bruce Banner of turning into the Man-Monster the Incredible Hulk. The Gammatron was soon modified not only to bombard subjects with Gamma bolts, but also to drain subjects of any Gamma Energy. When next fired at the Hulk, the Gammatron once split Banner into two distinct entities. Once the Gammatron siphons gamma radiation from its subject, tremendous amounts of radiation is stored within the machine. A planned release of this radiation transformed Leonard Samson, once again, into a Gamma-spawned Super-Human. ============================================================ Gauntlet Armor Kind: item Page: Gauntlet Armor Other aliases: Alpha/Omega Armor Type: Armor; Gauntlet First appearance: She-Hulk Vol 1 5 Created by: Dan Slott; Stefano Caselli Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Alien Current owner: Cormorant Previous owners: Fourth unnamed Grasshopper, Helmsman; Gauntlet; Southpaw; unnamed alien Alternate owners: Kid Glove (Earth-6023); Southpaw (Earth-6023) Properties: The two gauntlets both display the ability to create hard light versions of the wearer's hand that possesses superior strength and durability. Also, despite their great size, the two wearers have no trouble lifting them. The full powers of the rest of the armor pieces (helmet, torso, and legs) are unknown, though the full armor, with the sword, was shown generating a force field strong enough to deflect a direct energy blast from the Tactigon. Notes: Depending on the artist, the gauntlets take on different sizes and styles.; Fifteen years in the future, the gauntlets are worn by Kid Glove (right) and Southpaw (left). History: The origins of the Gauntlet Armor isn't fully revealed. Doctor Doom speculated that the armor was either of Watcher or Prosilican origin.; The Gauntlet Armor was worn by an alien being in combat with a second alien using the Tactigon. The complete Gauntlet armor is comprised of a full-body suit and a sword. The two aliens came into conflict above Earth's atmosphere and seemingly killed each other. The Gauntlet armor broke apart, and the pieces scattered over the surface of the Earth. Two pieces, the right-hand gauntlet and sword, fell into an unnamed desert. Both the U.S. Army and the terrorist organization Hydra tracked the most powerful piece (the sword) as it fell and attempted to retrieve them simultaneously. Sgt. Joseph Green recovered both pieces for the U.S. Army, but was left with the gauntlet permanently bonded to his right arm.; Sasha Martin acquired the left-hand gauntlet through unknown circumstances and used it for criminal purposes. The leg portions of the armor were acquired by the fourth unnamed Grasshopper while the helmet was acquired by the mysterious Helmsman.; The Gauntlet armor has been shown to be the most, and perhaps only, effective weapon against someone using the powerful Tactigon. The armor, in whole or in pieces, seemingly has an intelligence of its own. While Joseph Green was in a coma after being attacked by Slapstick, the gauntlet used Green's body to retrieve the alien sword from storage and attack KIA, a deranged clone of MVP who had bonded with the Tactigon and was using it to destroy Camp Hammond. While under the physical control of the gauntlet, Joseph Green spoke an alien language. KIA used the Tactigon to wake Green from his coma, and the alien intelligence retreated, making Green a less effective combatant. It is unknown whether the alien intelligence is diminished with the armor in several pieces, and whether the fully assembled armor could permanently control the wearer's mind.; During the Brotherhood of the Badoon's invasion of Earth, the Helmsman ordered his servant the Cormorant to retrieve the missing pieces of the armor, including the pieces belonging to Gauntlet, Grasshopper, and Southpaw. After retrieving the missing pieces, Cormorant went after the current possessor of the Tactigon, Doctor Doom. Doom fought Cormorant but not to destroy him. Instead, Doom used the Helmsman's telepathic link with Cormorant to find his location. Doom then used magic to teleport to the location and disintegrate Helmsman to grant Cormorant's freedom so he could aid him in stopping the Reckoning. ============================================================ Galactus-Buster Armor (Earth-30847) Kind: item Page: Galactus-Buster Armor Formal name: Galactus-Buster Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Created by: Capcom Reality: Earth-30847 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1.0 Version: MK I Notes: The armor is only seen in Iron Man's ending in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. It is not useable within the game. History: The Galactus-Buster armor was built by Tony Stark of Earth-30847 after the defeat of Galactus. Using data gained from his battle, he realized he barely defeated the cosmic entity. Being pretty lax with armor modifications, he began construction on the armor afterwards. ============================================================ Galactus Seed Kind: item Page: Galactus Seed Formal name: Galactus Seed Other aliases: Cosmic Seed; Worldheart Type: Stone First appearance: Thor Vol 3 619 Created by: Matt Fraction; Pasqual Ferry Reality: Earth-616 Origin: A super dense cosmic heart created before the beginning of time. Lead designer: Eternity Current owner: Gus Previous owners: Odin, Bor Notes: The Galactus Seed is one of many conflicting retcons to Galactus' origin. How it fits in the current continuity is unclear.; The Galactus Seed of the current universe is said to be created by Eternity. Presumably, the Galactus Seed of the previous universe was created by Eternity's predecessor.; It was originally assumed that Eternity's predecessors were also called Eternity. However, it was later established that each incarnation was a different being with its own unique identity (e.g. the First Firmament or the Pilgrim).; According to Galactus, the Seed is a celestial mistake, as it was an attempt of Eternity to correct something that wasn't flawed, stating that anything born from it would replace him and because of its immaturity, the universe would end sooner. History: ===Origin===; The Galactus Seed was created by Eternity before the recording of time, being energy beyond boundaries to be explained by language and mathematics and described by the Silver Surfer as the Eternal Soul of the All-God. During the Time-Before-Time in the dying days of the Long-Now before the creation of everything, the Seed was discovered by Bor, the First King of Asgard, with his sons Odin, Vili, and Ve. Upon its discovery, Bor planted the seed thus giving birth to the universe along with Yggdrasill the World Tree, over which the Ten Realms hang, ending the Long-Now.; Eons later, during Bor's reign, a battle was fought in Niffleheim for the creation of an artificial Death Stone. Under Bor's command, his sorcerers brought the Eternal Flame from Muspelheim, to burn the pieces of shell that once held the Galactus Seed, creating the Stone to act as fuel, however, it transformed into a baby girl, Hela.; ===Siege Aftermath===; Upon Asgard's destruction over Broxton and the splitting of the World Tree, Odin ordered Thor and Sif to retrieve the seed from its depths. Odin later tried to commune with the seed to avert a impending prophecy concerning the Asgardians. Placing it for safe keeping within the Destroyer Armor thus powering the suit immensely with its incalculable power. The Silver Surfer arrived the same day demanding the seed, on behalf of Galactus which according to the Silver Surfer will sate his hunger forever.; Prompting Odin to rebuff the Surfer who warns the Asgardians that Galactus will come for them. Odin thereafter explained to Thor the seed's design to birth the next universe and of Galactus's attempt to stall that future which would see his destruction forever. Galactus and Silver Surfer fought with the Asgardians, whereas Loki sought the help of the Weird Sisters to save his brother and Asgard. He stole the Seed and went with it down the World Tree, hiding it from everyone, even himself.; ===Damage Control===; Years later, the Galactus Seed was hidden in the depths of the Damage Control Deep Storage Vault in the Flatiron Building. The Seed called Gus, a splinter of Galactus' helmet that reached Earth and a Damage Control employee. The Seed influenced various events that allowed Gus to retrieve it, causing him to be fired and able to leave the facility.; Clear; ===Blood of the Fathers===; During Doctor Doom's experiments with souls in his attempt to recreate Bor's ritual for the creation of an artificial Death Stone in order to save the living by sacrificing the dead, he mined amber that stemmed from the shell of the Galactus Seed, burning it and subjecting the souls to it in order to break them apart. ============================================================ Genetic Accelerator Kind: item Page: Genetic Accelerator Formal name: Genetic Accelerator Other aliases: Evolutionary Ray Type: Technology First appearance: Thor Vol 1 134 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Developed by Herbert Wyndham Lead designer: High Evolutionary Place of creation: Wyndham's family home in England Current owner: Herbert Wyndham History: Developed by Herbert Wyndham to speed up evolution in living beings, so that a creature put on the accelerator could become a representative of that same species hundreds of millennia down the evolutionary line - animals developed intelligence and the ability to walk upright, and when Wyndham used it on himself, he became the future man. ============================================================ Gambit's Jennings Volition Repeating Kind: item Page: Gambit's Jennings Volition Repeating Formal name: Gambit's Jennings Volition Repeating Other aliases: Jennings Volition Repeating rifle circa 1850 Type: Firearm First appearance: X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 252 Created by: Mike Carey; Khoi Pham Reality: Earth-616 Additional designers: Gambit (-616) Current owner: Gambit (-616) Previous owners: Gambit (Age of X) History: As part of the Mutant Resistance, Gambit used a Jennings Volition Repeating rifle circa 1850, with hollow-balls as ammunition, but he also used his bio-kinetic energy powers to charge up the bullets before he fired them.; After the Age of X was reverted to the real world, the Fortress X was destroyed and this with it.

Trivia: Kate Pryde's powers interfere with technology, which includes the Krakoan gates. As a result, she and her Marauders had to sail in and out of Krakoa.; Pryde's condition was a topic of fan theories through the Krakoa era. When the Krakoa era ended, Jordan D. White stated that it was simply her powers disrupting the gates and it was not intended to be anything more than that. History: Okkara was the original island before Krakoa and Arakko. Its Okkara Seeds grew Okkara Gates with the blood of mutants. Okkara Gates did not need to be set-up: simply planting one would automatically grow another at the destination, even if it was barren. After Okkara had been split into Krakoa and Arakko, the two new islands grew seeds at only half potency. As a result, their gates now needed gates to be grown separately and linked.; When the mutant nation of Krakoa was being founded, mutants planted Krakoan gates around the world (and even off-world, such as the Blue Area of the Moon or the Garden on Mars). These allowed mutants to easily travel in and out of Krakoa, but only mutants, as Krakoa recognized them as its own. Non-mutants had to be granted special permission and be accompanied by a mutant. Krakoa's leaders could temporarily modify the gateways to allow all visitors, such as for the Hellfire Gala, but non-mutant visitors had to wear flowers.; On Judgment Day, the Deviants used the gateways to aid Krakoa against the Eternals attacking the island. They were capable of this because of the genetic similarities between Deviants and mutants.; The Maker took an interest in Krakoan gates and stole one before creating a portal to Earth-6160. As noted by Mister Fantastic, the Maker should not have been able to do it since he did not have an X-Gene, but the Maker bypassed this.; During the third Hellfire Gala, the anti-mutant organization Orchis hacked the gates, allowing their troops to pass through. In addition, they prevented mutants from escaping and rigged the gates to lead mutants worldwide to their deaths. During the Genesis War, Apocalypse and Genesis used three remaining Okkara Seeds to arrive at Arakko. Although Krakoa left Earth for the White Hot Room, some of its gates were temporarily reactivated for the Hellfire Vigil.; ==Known Krakoan Gateways==; List of known Krakoan Gateways off the main Krakoan Isle:; Earth; Antarctica; Krakoan Harvest Center in the Savage Land (may be destroyed); Atlantic Ocean; X-Lantis; Island M the former base of Magneto in the Bermuda Triangle; Africa; Wakanda; Formerly in the Golden City, but currently destroyed; South Africa; Namib Desert about a day's hike from Sossusvlei; Genosha; Magda Square in Hammer Bay; Asia; Israel/Palestine; Jerusalem Habitat in the heart of Jerusalem; Japan; Tokyo in Honshu; Madripoor; Lowtown; Princess Bar; Russia; Red Square in Moscow; Vladivostok in Siberia; United Republic of Valnon; North Valnon; Vietnam; Hanoi; Australia; Australian Outback in Northern Territory (presumably near Cooterman's Creek); Europe; Denmark; Mykines a small island off the westernmost edge of the Faroe Islands archipelago; England; Braddock Lighthouse on Braddock Isle off the shores of Cornwall in southwestern England; Braddock Manor in Maldon; London; Hellfire Club Building; Jubilee Gardens near the London Eye; France; Arc de Triomphe in Paris; Spain; Barcelona; Sokovia; Novi Grad; North America; Canada; Southern Alberta near Montana and the U.S.-Canadian border; Vancouver in British Columbia; United States of America; Arizona; Rio Verde; California; Greenspace Research Facility in the Silicon Valley just outside of San Francisco; Los Angeles; Nebraska; Nebraska a few hours hike from Pilger; New Mexico; Tucumcari; New York; Central Park near the former site of the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach in Manhattan, New York; Treehouse on the corner of 86th Street and Central Park in Manhattan, New York; Coney Island, under the pier; Washington Square Park in Manhattan's Greenwich Village; Graymalkin Habitat on the former site of the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in Upstate New York's Westchester County; Hellfire Club Building; Ohio; Columbus across the street from DOX Online Offices; Washington, D.C.; Jefferson Memorial; South America; Terra Verde; Inside the Presidential Manor; Brazil; Amazon Rainforest approximately a six hour hike from Nova Roma; Nova Roma has one centrally located in the city.; Monster Isle had one installed on the island and Xemnu had planned to use it to invade Krakoa before being stopped.

He used the chain which imbued him with the power to manipulate hellfire.; Clear ============================================================ Godkiller (Sword) Kind: item Page: Godkiller (Sword) Formal name: Godkiller Type: Sword First appearance: Secret Warriors Vol 1 10 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Alessandro Vitti Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Olympian; Magical Lead designer: Immortal Blacksmith with No Name Place of creation: Immortal Forge Place of destruction: Gehenna, New Zealand, Earth Previous owners: Gorgon; Zeus; Kraken Dimensions: 72 centimeters in length Weight: 1,400 grams History: Ages ago there was a war between the Greek gods and the Japanese gods. Zeus and Amatsu-Mikaboshi separately told a single blacksmith to forge a weapon for them. The blacksmith crafted two swords: one perfect, called Grasscutter; the other flawed, called Godkiller. Godkiller was given to Zeus, but ended up being lost as time went by.; Throughout the ages, Godkiller passed into many hands, having killed kings, emperors, and even made a god bleed at the hands of a mortal. It was ultimately acquired by the Kraken and passed on to the Gorgon.; Many years later, during the conflict between the High Council of Hydra and Nick Fury's Secret Warriors, the Gorgon wielded Godkiller in battle against the Grasscutter-wielding Phobos. Both swords broke during the battle, but that didn't stop the Gorgon from using his broken blade to kill his opponent. The broken Godkiller remained on the corpse of Phobos as Gehenna, site of his fight against the Gorgon, collapsed.; Godkiller was eventually recovered by Gorgon and repaired alongside Grasscutter under unknown circumstances. Both swords were wielded by him in the Contest of Swords held in Otherworld. ============================================================ Golden Bull Kind: item Page: Golden Bull Formal name: Golden Bull Type: Statue First appearance: Thor Vol 1 447 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Guggenheim Museum History: Carl Creel wanted to put a scare into Titania, so he planned to steal the Golden Bull from the Guggenheim, and have Thor II scare them off. Unfortunately, Spider-Man saw them together outside and assumed Thor to be one of the thieves. ============================================================ Goblin Formula Kind: item Page: Goblin Formula Formal name: Goblin Formula Other aliases: Green Breath of The Goblin; Goblin Gas; Globulin green; OZ; Stromm's Formula; Performance Enhancer Type: Drug First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 40 Created by: Stan Lee; John Romita Sr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Steroidal compound created to enhance human performance. Lead designer: Dr. Mendel Stromm Additional designers: Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn, Nels van Adder Place of creation: Oscorp Tower Current owner: Norman Osborn, Oscorp Previous owners: Goblin Nation, Goblin Army Properties: The formula could grant its user enhanced superhuman capabilities, such as strength, agility, durability and regeneration, though as a side effect it would cause insanity and often even horrific transformations. Besides this, it could also revive those who were previously killed. Phil Urich managed to return to life after having his heart ripped out by Norman, but his body failed to completely regenerate, causing him to resemble a zombie with his body slowly falling apart. Notes: Goblin Formula.; Oz Formula. Trivia: While the majority of the Goblins wear costumes and masks, some upgraded iterations of the Goblin Formula - such as those used on Lily Hollister and Carlie Cooper - induce a physical transformation in the person exposed to it. History: ===Origin===; After framing Mendel Stromm for embezzlement and having him arrested, Norman Osborn found in his notes a formula which could apparently augment a person's body to superhuman levels and began research on it, hoping to eventually sell it. Norman's first attempt to recreate Stromm's formula turned his assistant, Nels van Adder, into a red creature who ended up killing people after losing control. His other attempt was tampered with by his son Harry, who did it out of spite, without him noticing. Consequentially, the completed formula became unstable and exploded in Norman's face. He spent the next week in the hospital recovering. After finally regaining consciousness, he found his mental and physical functions had been greatly enhanced. It was later learned that exposure also caused severe insanity, which was the primary motivation for Norman taking the identity of the Green Goblin.; ===The Second Green Goblin===; Discovering that his friend Peter Parker was Spider-Man, Harry Osborn exposed himself to the Goblin Formula and donned his father's suit, proclaiming himself the new Green Goblin. The effects of the formula caused memory loss and when he was defeated, he could not remember what he was doing. When he regained all his memories, Harry submerged himself in a new version of the formula that his father had been working on before disappearing, making himself stronger than Norman believed possible. It was enough for Harry to match Spider-Man blow for blow. However, this version hadn't been tested previously; as a result, it poisoned Harry, sending him to a slow and painful death.; ===Hobgoblin===; Roderick Kingsley, the original Hobgoblin, came into possession of the Goblin Formula. He knew of the dangers and tested it first on Lefty Donovan, who was a small-time hood. He sent Donovan out as a decoy Hobgoblin and, satisfied, terminated him before the thug could expose his employer's identity. Kingsley then used a modified version of the Goblin Formula. He tried to find a safer way to expose himself to the chemicals and used a robot to mix the concoction into a giant vat. He then passed through a permeable membrane limiting the amount of exposure to the chemicals. However, Kingsley stayed in the membrane for a bit longer than he had hoped but came out unharmed. After exposing himself to the formula, he set out as the true Hobgoblin once more.; ===The Fourth Green Goblin===; On a journalism assignment, Phil Urich joined his uncle Ben Urich in an investigation of Oscorp Tower. When his uncle was besieged by attackers in the building, Phil hid and tried to find help. Stumbling upon an experimental new Green Goblin costume Phil also fell into a chamber of the Goblin Formula. Quickly dressing up in the suit, he scared off the hoods. Later on, he decided that the costume and equipment were worth using.; ===Menace===; Lily Hollister found a hidden door in Harry Osborn's closet and found an old journal of his, uncovering the location of one of Norman Osborn's secret rooms in it. There she found all of the Goblin's equipment along with some experiments. Accidentally knocking over some experimental Goblin chemicals, Lily absorbed them into her skin and became able to transform into her "Menace" form at will.; ===Sui Generis===; Stanley Osborn was born with enhanced abilities due to his genetic heritage from his parents Harry Osborn and Lily Hollister, who had both taken the Goblin Formula in their lifetime.; ===Monster===; Norman Osborn, now calling himself the "Goblin King," sprayed Carlie Cooper's face with the Goblin Formula, transforming her into a Goblin, and nicknamed her "Monster". Carlie seemingly succumbed to the madness induced by the formula, but refused to reveal Spider Man's identity to the Goblin King. She was mostly reverted to human form by the cure developed by Parker Industries, but retained black eyes and a few scales.; ===Red Goblin and the Goblin Childe===; When Norman Osborn bonded to the Carnage symbiote, it mixed with the formula in his body, purging its traditional weaknesses of sonic and fire and granting it new powers, such as pyrokinesis and enhanced strength. This new combination resulted in them becoming the Red Goblin. Norman later abducted his grandson, Normie Osborn, and bonded him with the symbiote, turning Normie into the Goblin Childe. Eventually, Normie turned on his grandfather and his parents were able to get most of the symbiote out of Normie's body. ============================================================ Goblin Robo Warrior (Earth-92131) Kind: item Page: Goblin Robo Warrior Formal name: Goblin Robo Warrior Type: Robot First appearance: Spider-Man (1994 animated series) Season 5 1 Created by: Bob Richardson; John Semper; Meg McLaughlin Reality: Earth-92131 Origin: Spider-Slayer Lead designer: Alistair Smythe Additional designers: New York City, New York Previous owners: Alistair Smythe; Harry Osborn Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Alistair Smythe supplied Harry Osborn with an army of Goblin Robo Warriors. Harry used them to crash Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson's wedding, but they were all destroyed by Spider-Man, the Black Cat and the Mega-Slayer piloted by Kingpin. ============================================================ God Brain Machine Kind: item Page: God Brain Machine Formal name: God Brain Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Wolverine Weapon X Vol 1 8 Created by: Jason Aaron; Yanick Paquette Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Rottwell Place of creation: Dunwich Sanatorium; California Current owner: Dr. Rottwell History: Dr. Rotwell introduced Logan to his not normal family. He then told Logan about the God Brain Machine, and how it was a vast improvement over the last one. Shocked and bondaged, Logan tried to unleash his claws, but could not. ============================================================ Ghost Boxes (Multiverse) Kind: item Page: Ghost Boxes Formal name: Ghost Boxes Other aliases: Ghost Box technology Type: Technology First appearance: Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 26 Created by: Warren Ellis; Simone Bianchi Reality: Multiverse Origin: Trans-realities device from multiple independent design Lead designer: Scientists from : Earth-10083, Earth-89149, Earth-12245, Earth-24135, possibly about twenty realities Additional designers: Savior, X-Club Place of creation: Multiple Current owner: X-Club; The Furies Previous owners: Agent X-13; Annex Squads (-89149); Annex Squads (-81035); Forge; Savior Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable Model: Multiple Notes: It was stated by Abigail Brand of the S.W.O.R.D. that maybe twenty Earths had developed such technology. As far as we know, those realities have somehow acquired or developed the Ghost Boxes technology:; Earth-616 - Mainstream universe : Acquired Ghost Boxes from Earth-89149 and Earth-12245 Recuperated from Savior and Subject X; Earth-10083 - Home of Jim Jaspers and the Furies; Earth-12245 - Home of Savior; Earth-24135 - Home of Kurt Waggoner; Earth-89149 - Home of Subject X, and its alternative timelines:; Earth-12472 - Subject X was killed on Earth-889.; Earth-81035 - Subject X activated his Ghost Box and evacuated. Earth-81211 was annexed.; Earth-91138 - Subject X activated his Ghost Box and committed suicide. Earth-90227 was ravaged. History: Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 27; The Ghost Boxes are devices used by some to travel between dimensions.; ===Ghost Boxes on Earth-616===; The Ghost Boxes were discovered on Earth-616 by the S.W.O.R.D. and encountered many times. Abigail Brand stated that possibly twenty realities had developed those technologies.; ====The Annex====; They were later "discovered" by Forge. They were used by an extradimensional military force composed of Sentinels and 13s Mutants of mutant with an X-Gene on the 13th chromosome instead of the 23rd. This force intended to annex Earth-616, sending Annex Squads, including Agent X-13, to gather information and open Ghost Boxes.; Forge decided to strike back by engineering artificial mutants to chase Subject X on Earth-616 and invade the hostile timeline.; Although Beast presumably destroyed all life on Earth-89149, by firing into Forge's Ghost Box with a giant laser gun, the current status of the planet itself is unknown, as Forge later resurfaced. Armor stated that the laser could have been firing on a "correspondence-travel reality".; ====Xenogenesis====; The X-Men were later called by the Black Panther and Mutantes Sans Frontières to Mbangawi where superpowered babies were being born. Cyclops decided to answer the call, hoping for the rebirth of mutantkind after its Decimation.; Beast detected Ghost Box radiation there, theorizing that it was possibly the cause of those mutations. The X-Men were then attacked by The Furies, superhuman-killing cyborgs from an alternate dimension, who were travelling using a Ghost Box.; They also found a man called Jim Jaspers, also from an alternate dimension, who was revealed to be a "living Ghost Box" with not only the ability to travel between universes but also to produce a "Jaspers Warp" effect, similar to his counterpart from Earth-616 and Earth-238.; Thanks to a psychic ruse by Emma Frost, the last Fury used his Ghost box to return to his world and Doctor Joshua N'Dingi executed Jim Jaspers in his sleep to prevent him from warping again and cause more harm to his people.; ===Exalted===; After The Utopia Exodus and the Schism, Cyclops was abducted by an alternate-universe Storm to be used as a energy source.; On this Earth, Cyclops met Kurt Waggoner, who was aware of the existence and functioning of the Ghost Boxes, claiming to having got an A minus in his class on Quantum Mechanics and Practical Uses of Infinity, and hypothesized that a modified Ghost Box could be present somewhere in the city but was seemingly killed in his research, in fact escaping to Earth-616 with a Ghost Box.; Charles Xavier (Savior) revealed to possess in fact not one but two Ghost Boxes. Kurt returned on the final battle, bringing with him Emma Frost and Storm from Earth-616. Cyclops came back to Earth with Kurt's Ghost Box, now empty of the Earth-12245's data and unresponsive.; It is unclear if Savior's Ghost Box was broken when Armor hit it while punching Savior.; ===Multiversal X-Men===; Later, Cyclops' Ghost box was rebuilt by the X-Club, and charged by Dazzler's light energy, opening a portal through which came Kurt Waggoner, Emma Frost-Summers, Charles Xavier's head, General James Howlett and the tentacles of an alternate, squid-like Charles Xavier.; The portal was promptly closed, but Dazzler was caught by the tentacles and thrown with the X-Treme X-Men into another dimension.; ==Properties==; The Ghost Boxes seem to be teleportation devices principally used to teleport people (and also Sentinels) between alternate Earths.; The full extent of Ghost Box use is unknown.; According to Beast and an alternate Cyclops, the excessive use of Ghost Boxes caused the time stream to become too fluid and the world on which they are used "toxic for the mind and the body". This is the reason why people from Earth-89149 needed to invade other dimensions.; Beast later stated that the open Ghost Boxes emit specific radiations and particles that may not be exclusive to the Ghost Boxes but produced by any means of transuniversal travel. It seems that Jim Jaspers' "living Ghost box" powers were accompanied with a Jaspers Warp effect, causing unborn children in the contaminated environment to become Warpies: Uncontrolled, unstable superpowered babies (some of them explosive), and with very few of them reaching to maturity.; It is unknown if both Jaspers Warp effects and physical and mental toxicity of Earth-89149 are linked to those particular radiations and particles common to the two transportation means (as it is also unknown if the Jaspers Warp and The Ghost box are linked beyond their powers and particles emission). Also, it is not known if it was those common radiations who caused the Xenogenesis.; Savior modified his Ghost box, allowing him to consume an alternate reality to power the device that allowed his earth to exist.; ==Appearance==; The appearance of the boxes and their powers seems to vary a little but follow this standard: Cubic structure opening gates between parallels earths.; Subject-X and The Furies used boxes who could enlarge to allow sentinels and people to travel by entering the boxes.; They could also convert to a flat-form, with some similarities to Time Platform.; Savior's boxes were small enough to be hand-carried, and they opened their portal close to the boxes. ============================================================ Godstone Kind: item Page: Godstone Formal name: Godstone Other aliases: Moonstone; Weirdstone; Star Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 124 Created by: Gerry Conway; Gil Kane Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: John Jameson Previous owners: Stargod History: Centuries ago, when the Other Realm's god grew old and weak, he opened a portal to Earth's Moon to die peacefully, leaving the Godstone behind as his crystallized life force. Astronaut John Jameson found the Godstone on a geological mission to the Moon. The jewel bonded itself to his throat, and, extending its tendrils throughout his entire body, transformed him into the lycanthropic Man-Wolf.; When Jameson fought Spider-Man in this bestial form, Spider-Man seemingly removed the gem: as its power had become part of Jameson's body, however, the gem later reconstituted itself inside him during his military career in Afghanistan, at which time he became uncontrollable and killed a whole Taliban training camp. From then, the transformation would reoccur at moments of high stress, and the Godstone would again regenerate any time it was removed or destroyed.; As an Agent of Wakanda, Jameson used the Godforce in the stone to feed the hungry alien entity Entea.; ==Properties==; Divine Empowerment: The wearer of the Godstone becomes the Other Realm's Stargod, wielding the absolute power of a god (called the Godforce), but only when within the Other Realm.; Energy Absorption: Even when outside of the Other Realm, the Stargod gains lycanthropic power from "lunar radiation", possibly stemming from the portal to the Other Realm, which the Stargod can also draw energy from.; Energy Emission: The Stargod's command over the Godforce allows them to emit it from the Godstone, which can be used as an energy source by other energy-absorbing beings.; Weaknesses: The user only has access to the Godforce while the Godstone is still intact; if it is removed from the body or otherwise destroyed, its host will be helpless until it grows back.; ==Alternate Realities==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-19919, the Godstone was recovered by Agent Venom's Resistance. The stone was given to the Spider-King, freeing him from the Spider-Queen's control and transforming him into the Man-Wolf.; Spider-Island Vol 1 1 ============================================================ Godkiller Armor Kind: item Page: Godkiller Armor Formal name: Godkiller Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 4 12 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Matteo Scalera Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created to kill the Celestials Lead designer: Aspirants Previous owners: Aspirants; Recorder 451 Dimensions: Approximately 5 miles of height Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: Not to be mistaken for Tony Stark's Deep-Space Armor, also known as the Godkiller Armor for having debuted in the The Godkiller, or the Godbuster Armor, which has been alternatively referred to as the Godkiller Armor.; Even though the Godkiller Armor disappeared from the universe, Tony Stark has expressed that he knows how to gain access to it again. Trivia: The Godkiller Armor was designed by Matteo Scalera with input by Kieron Gillen. Gillen wanted it to evoke the celestial and cosmic spheres, to look simultaneously predatory and animalistic but somewhat elegant, and to have detailing similar to the Celestials.; Had Kieron Gillen not left Iron Man before he expected, the culmination of his run would have featured the return of the Godkiller Armor, which would have fought an equally-enormous suit. History: The Godkiller was a powerful weapon created eons ago by the Aspirants to battle the Celestials during the final battle of the Celestial War. It was piloted strictly by people on a "genetically imprinted short leash." Despite its success to cull the Celestials' numbers, the suit was stripped for key components to build the Aspirants' fleet, just before they entered in a civil war which bought the surviving Celestials enough time to recover and crush them.; The Godkiller remained stored in a Dyson sphere for eons. The Rigellian Recorder 451 learned of its existence and spent hundreds of years looking for it and salvaging its parts, with the last of them having become known as the Heart of the Voldi. 451 planned for the Godkiller to be used as a nuclear deterrent of Earth, as he believed humanity had the potential to bring universal peace in the future. However, 451 needed a pilot for the Godkiller since the machine's autopilot function was extremely clumsy. To this end, 451 genetically engineered the unborn child of Howard Stark, one of the people whose possible offspring 451 determined was best suitable for becoming the Godkiller's pilot.; Years later, 451 met the son of Howard, Tony Stark, now the superhero Iron Man, and told him about his secret origin, ultimately bringing him to the Dyson Sphere and forcing him to become one with the armor. When 451 discovered Stark couldn't pilot the Godkiller, and concluded all the atrocities he committed as part of his plan were worth nothing, and decided the giant armor couldn't fall in anyone's hands. Before shutting himself down, 451 activated a mechanism to transport the Godkiller to another dimension, with the intention to take Stark with it. Before the dimensional shift began, Stark managed to use 451's tech to hack into the Godkiller, opening a pathway to escape before it was too late.; Tony later discovered he couldn't pilot the Godkiller because he wasn't the baby 451 had genetically engineered. The programmed pilot was his long-time lost secret brother Arno. Years later, Tony Stark would create the Godkiller Armor MK II based on the original suit. ============================================================ Go-Yo Lantern (Earth-2301) Kind: item Page: Go-Yo Lantern Formal name: Go-Yo Lantern Type: Technology First appearance: X-Men: Ronin Vol 1 5 Created by: J. Torres; Makoto Nakatsuka Reality: Earth-2301 Origin: Mutant Detection System Current owner: Police Force Dimensions: About 10cm wide and 30cm tall Notes: As with many things of Earth-2301, the Go-Yo lantern is a mix of Western and Eastern aesthetics, resembling the lanterns associated with the antiquated police forces of both Japan and Victorian England. History: The Go-Yo Lanterns were handheld mutant detectors. When facing a person, the display on the back showed baseline Humans as a dull green colour, but Mutants as bright red. This allowed the police to identify mutants even when they weren't using their powers and apprehend them. ============================================================ Gods' Whisper Kind: item Page: Gods' Whisper Formal name: Gods' Whisper Type: Artifact First appearance: All-New Marvel NOW! Point One Vol 1 1.NOW Created by: James Robinson; Steve Pugh Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Kree Lead designer: Kree Place of creation: Hala Place of destruction: Germany Previous owners: Baron von Strucker; Invaders History: The Gods' Whisper is a powerful artifact created by the Kree. During a battle against the Asgardians it was lost in the realm of Midgard, and was used by Baron von Strucker to control Hela, the Asgardian God of Death, into fighting for the Nazis. With it, the Nazis fought the Invaders.; After Strucker's and Hela's defeat, it was left on Earth. The three heroes who faced them, Human Torch, Bucky Barnes, and Namor, decided it was too powerful, and broke it in three pieces, which were hidden by each of them.; In the wake of recent events, the Supreme Intelligence saw other galactic empires were growing, and fast. He tasked Tanalth the Pursuer with the recovery of the Gods' Whisper.; The Pursuer Corps captured Namor and got the location of one of the pieces, Kree soldiers fought the Winter Soldier and obtained the information of the second piece before he escaped, Tanalth fought the Human Torch and claimed to have recovered the second one as well. Using a special machine, Tanalth recovered the memory of the Human Torch about the location of his fragment of the Whisper, but she was later interrupted by Captain America and the Winter Soldier before she could leave. The final piece was recovered during Tanalth's fight against Captain America and Winter Soldier, and she returned to Hala after being informed of the discovery. ============================================================ GH.325 (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: GH.325 Formal name: GH.325 Other aliases: Jesus Juice (by John Garrett) Type: Drug First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 14 Created by: Bobby Roth; Jeffrey Bell Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Serum derived from the corpse of "G.H.". Lead designer: S.H.I.E.L.D. Place of creation: The Guest House Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D. Version: Original Properties: Regeneration and Resurrection: GH.325 is a drug known to promote cellular growth that can be used to heal critical conditions and, in some cases, even revive the recently deceased.; In the two known cases of the drug's use, there was no detectable trace of the drug's presence in the patient's body immediately following the period of recovery, making it difficult to properly research the drug's exact effects or to replicate it. History: GH.325 is one of the many drugs derived from the bodily fluid of a corpse codenamed "G.H.". The body was recovered sometime after World War II, and was transferred to a facility known as The Guest House where it was studied intensively. From G.H.'s bodily fluids, scientists were able to synthesize a number of advanced drugs with varying effects on human biology, including the serum GH.325.; After high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Agent Phil Coulson was fatally stabbed through the heart by the rogue Asgardian, Loki; S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury used his connections to allow Coulson to undergo a series of intensive surgeries at the Guest House that brought him back to life after being dead for several days. Among the processes used on Coulson was the administering of the GH.325 serum, which had the effect of completely regenerating his eviscerated heart tissue. However, the use of this serum, along with all other details of his resurrection, were kept secret from Coulson.; Later, during a mission carried out by Agent Coulson's team, Skye, an inexperienced asset recruited by Coulson, was shot twice in the abdomen and left for dead. This event deeply affected Coulson, who felt personally responsible, motivating him to research all aspects of his mysterious resurrection in order to find something capable of saving Skye's life. His search led him and a small team to execute an unwilling raid on the Guest House in search of the drug. While the GH.325 was successful in restoring Skye's health, the raid resulted in the destruction of the Guest House, burying all existing stock of the drugs, along with its source.; Upon learning of the miracle drug's true source, Agent Coulson became extremely apprehensive of its use and possible side effects on himself and Skye, which have yet to be seen. At his behest, Coulson had his team member and S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist Jemma Simmons actively monitor the serum's effects on Skye. Personally interested in how the GH.325 could benefit humanity, Simmons hoped to recreate the drug by repeatedly analyzing Skye's blood. However, she was unable to discover anything unusual in the blood samples, even when comparing them to Coulson's blood. When she asked Coulson to send blood samples to their headquarters in order to analyze them and mend her lack of available resource, Coulson denied permission, informing her that the Guest House's two guards went down fighting to protect the drug. He tells her to stop looking into the drug until they meet with Director Nick Fury and get some answers.; Agent Simmons continued to research and analyze the drug in secret, eventually gaining access to a better lab at The Hub and receiving help from Agent Antoine Triplett, who used his higher clearance level to help contact Agent Anne Weaver for Simmons to consult on her analysis. Unfortunately, before much progress could be made Simmons was interrupted by the assault on S.H.I.E.L.D. by Hydra sleeper agents.; In response to the Hydra uprising, Skye backed up the data on her blood work along with other technologies onto a hard drive to keep it out of the wrong hand. But when Deathlok forced her to decrypt the drive, Raina was able to reverse engineer GH.325 from the various vials John Garrett recovered from the Guest House. As Garrett's cybernetics were disabled by Fitz's EMP joy buzzer, he had Raina infuse him with the drug, nearly causing an Extremis reaction before he stabilized, claiming to have experience "the Universe." However, the side effect of the drug began to slowly drive Garrett insane as he started to draw alien maps. Coulson later experience the same thing, extensively drawing the map. ============================================================ Ginrei Kind: item Page: Ginrei Formal name: Ginrei Other aliases: The Silver Spirit Type: Sword First appearance: X-Men: Kitty Pryde - Shadow & Flame Vol 1 4 Created by: Akira Yoshida; Paul Smith Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Japan Current owner: Kenuichio Harada; Clan Yashida Previous owners: Kitty Pryde History: One of the Five Japanese Swords of Secrets, Ginrei (銀霊, Silver Spirit) has not left the possession of the Clan Yashida for generations. At one point Kitty Pryde was permitted to use the sword by the Silver Samurai and Clan Yashida leader Kenuichio Harada to bring down the Path of Destiny, A cult of Ogun's former followers, led by one his students who wielded Kurokaze. ============================================================ Go-Go Tomago's Battlesuit Kind: item Page: Go-Go Tomago's Battlesuit Formal name: Go-Go Tomago's Battlesuit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Sunfire and Big Hero Six Vol 1 1 Created by: Scott Lobdell; Gus Vazquez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Japanese Lead designer: Leiko Tanaka Current owner: Leiko Tanaka Alternate owners: Go Go Tomago (Earth-14123); Go Go Tomago (Earth-TRN1098); Go Go Tomago (Earth-TRN1671) Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Go-Go Tomago battle suit is a voice-activated device that absorbs and amplifies kinetic energy, enabling it's wearer to temporarily transubstantiate his or her body mass into thermochemical energy simply by uttering the trigger words "Go-Go Tomago".; This transformation can be either partial or total. During a partial transformation, the wearer's body is surrounded by a half-inch thick thermochemical aura that grants the wearer limited invulnerability, flight and energy projection capabilities. During a total transformation, the wearer's entire body transubstantiates into a high-speed, high-impact spherical "powerball", which builds up greater speed and force with every additional ricochet impact while in motion.; After a series of sufficiently numerous and forceful ricochets to build up power, the wearer can hurl his or herself into a given target with tremendous explosive impact. Go-Go Tomago is apparently unlimited by the amount of time that she can remain in the thermochemical powerball form, although her body becomes fatigued after extended periods of ricocheting at high speeds. She has been timed at speeds of up to 185 miles per hour. The Go-Go Tomago helmet is made entirely from carbon fiber and is extremely durable and lightweight too.; == Alternate Realities ==; Image; Description; Source; On Earth-14123, GoGo's battlesuit instead incorporates magnetic technology inspired by her electromagnetic bike, thus the inclusion of wheels on the suit. GoGo is capable of using the wheels as both transportation and a weapon, making her deadly.

Without the suit the particles would alter the user's brain chemistry resulting in psychosis. Lead designer: Hank Pym Place of creation: Pym Laboratories Current owner: Miles Morales, Raz Malhotra Previous owners: Clinton Barton (Earth-616); William Foster (Earth-616); Tom Foster (Earth-616); Henry Pym (Earth-616) Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable Model: 4 Version: 4 History: ===Origin===; Overtime Hank Pym was able to alter the Pym Particles to allow him to grow in size and became Giant-Man and later Goliath. His suit was much the same as Ant-Man's Suit but did not include the helmet due to the fact that communication with insects when he had grown in size was impossible. Instead he wore a mask with cybernetic technology.; Other individuals such as Clint Barton, Bill Foster, and Tom Foster have also used the suit to become "Giant-Sized".; During an attack by Ultron, Hank Pym seemingly perished. He left one of his labs to Scott Lang, who recalled their encounter with Raz Malhotra and sent him the Giant-Man's Suit as a present.; ==Powers==; Size Alteration: The suit allows the user to grow to gigantic height by means of the subatomic particles known as the Pym Particles.; Talk to Ants: The suit allows the user to talk with ants thanks to the cybernetic technologies in his mask. ============================================================ Goblin Armor Kind: item Page: Goblin Armor Formal name: Goblin Armor Other aliases: Green Goblin Armor Hobgoblin Armor; Goblin Suit; Hobgoblin Suit Type: Armor First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 14 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Norman Osborn Additional designers: Phineas Mason, Ty Stone Place of creation: Goblin Workshop, Oscorp Tower, Manhattan, New York Current owner: Ned Leeds; Norman Osborn; Roderick Kingsley; Willow-Wisp Previous owners: Bart Hamilton; Hobgoblin V; Jason Macendale Jr.; Carlie Cooper; Cleavon Twain; Daniel Kingsley; Gabriel Stacy; Green Goblin V; Harry Lyman; Harry Osborn; Lily Hollister; Phil Urich Alternate owners: Jennifer D'Angelo (Earth-928); Elan DeJunae (Earth-982) Normie Osborn (Earth-982); Gwen Stacy (Earth-3109); Robin Borne (Earth-9500); Adrian Toomes (Earth-17628); Tony Stark (Earth-19919); Peter Parker (Earth-21205) Hector Jones (Counter-Earth) (Earth-751263); Hobgoblin (Earth-68926) Trivia: After the release of the 2002 film version to the theaters, the Goblin Armor in the movie was criticized by film critics, and many of the critics said that the Goblin suit in the film appeared to be just "a Power Rangers armor suit". History: ===Origin===; The Goblin Armor was an experimental suit created by Norman Osborn. It was originally manufactured at Oscorp as a battlesuit for the military but was retrofitted with a Goblin motif to match Osborn specifications. The Green Goblin's costume incorporated chain mail in the tunic, giving him further protection from high impacts, such as the punches or kicks inflicted during his battles with Spider-Man.; Goblin Gloves: The gloves contains finger blasters which could shoot electricity or a blinding flash.; Goblin Boots: The Goblin costume's boots have small jets that let him hover, although he mainly used the Glider for transportation.; ===Hobgoblin Armor===; Developed by Norman Osborn, it was stolen from the Goblin Workshop by Phil Urich, who used it to become the new Hobgoblin. The Goblin Mask causes a chemical reaction with the Goblin formula, giving Phil superhuman strength and durability while wearing it. It is equipped with flight-capable wings that eliminate the need for a Goblin Glider and a flaming sword. During one of his fights with Spider-Man, he left his armor on a rooftop to escape the hero. Norman presented the villain with a different version of the armor when he joined the Goblin Nation as the Goblin Knight. Daniel Kingsley theorized that Norman built the armor in preparation for a comeback as the Green Goblin, and stole the design of the wings from the Vulture.; Clear ============================================================ Ghost's Suit Kind: item Page: Ghost's Suit Other aliases: GhostTech Project Type: Suit First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 219 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Advanced stealth suit Lead designer: Ghost Current owner: Ghost Alternate owners: Ava Starr Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The suit's primary function is to allow it's user to move-about undetected.

Lead designer: Shadrak the God of Bombs Additional designers: Gorr the God Butcher Place of creation: Mount of the Godbomb, Black World of Gorr; Earth-14412 Place of destruction: Mount of the Godbomb, Black World of Gorr; Earth-14412 Previous owners: Gorr the God Butcher Properties: The Pool of Forevers built into its core and fueled by the blood of the thousands of gods slain by Gorr enabled the bomb to send a ripple backward through time, exploding through every second and infecting every god across the timestream with a portion of the All-Black symbiote, which also served as the bomb's detonator. History: ===Designing the Godbomb===; After his past defeat at the hands of Thor the God of Thunder, Gorr sought a different way to kill divine beings other than slaying them one at a time with his own hands, which eventually led him to Shadrak the God of Bombs.; After seeing everyone in his pantheon killed by the God Butcher, Shadrak lost his sanity and begged him to design a bomb capable of killing all deities across existence. After Shadrak designed the bomb, he managed to escape Gorr by hiding in the one place he never thought to look: the cave where he was defeated by Thor. Meanwhile, Gorr set out to build the doomsday device himself.; ===Building the Godbomb===; As he needed the heart of an elder god, one or two moons and some centuries to build the Godbomb, Gorr traveled to Chronux, a planet inhabited by the Time Gods, to use the Pool of Forevers to travel through the timestream.; After having secured the heart of a misbegotten stripling elder god, Gorr used the pool once again to travel thousands of years into the future, where he spent the next 900 years slaughtering and enslaving deities in order to build the Godbomb. It took four hundred years for it to be completely built, and upon its near completion, Gorr took the younger version of Thor from the past to the future to witness his crowning accomplishment's fruition.; ===Detonation===; With the Godbomb complete, Gorr detonated it using the symbiote-sword All-Black, causing every divine being that ever had or would have existed to start dying a slow and agonizing death as the Necrosword ate away at its victims from the inside out. Luckily, Thor managed to absorb both the blast and the Necrosword through the usage of two Mjolnirs, thus canceling out the blast. ============================================================ Ghorl Nigral Kind: item Page: Ghorl Nigral Formal name: Ghorl Nigral Type: Magical Book First appearance: Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 200 Created by: Roy Thomas Origin: Magical Notes: Ghorl Nigral was a book created by Willis Conover in one of his letter to H.P.

The deception caused Reynolds to develop a psychosomatic addiction to the false serum. History: Project Sentry started in March of 1947, when a joint American/Canadian government operation employed former Nazi scientists and material from the Canadian program Weapon X in an effort to re-create the Super-Soldier Serum and magnify its effects a thousand times over. Cold War politics interfered with the project, and roughly thirty years later, the program had become fragmented into sub-operations with outsourced research and no central administration properly guiding it. One of the recipients of outsourced work was an unnamed professor, who perfected the formula into the Golden Sentry Serum.; Robert Reynolds, a meth addict, and an accomplice broke into the laboratory of the professor in search for a new drug. He consumed the compound intending to get high, and obtained remarkable solar-based superhuman abilities. All samples of the serum were destroyed afterwards and the program was shut down since the project's personnel were terrified of the unprecedented effect of the serum's unauthorized use and the implication that Reynolds could share the power with others.; Years later, Sentry would join Norman Osborn in his Dark Avengers so that Norman could help him with his mental problems. Apparently, Osborn would give a version of the Golden Serum to Robert to enhance his powers, though this caused Void to take control of Reynolds' body.; Later, Scout, Sentry's former partner, obtained the golden serum notes from the Professor's grandniece, and teamed up with Cranio, a retired villain of his and Scout's, to disassemble Robert and become the new Sentry after recreating the serum. However, the plan would fail after Robert merged with Void, Scout began to suffer the effects of the Serum after consuming it and Cranio was stopped by Sentry who then burned the Serum's notes to prevent anyone else from recreating it. ============================================================ Golden Fleece Kind: item Page: Golden Fleece Formal name: Golden Fleece Type: Artifact First appearance: Hercules: Heart of Chaos Vol 1 2 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Frenz; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Olympian; Magical Previous owners: Pavel Urza; Jason Notes: The Golden Fleece was the fleece of the golden-woolled, winged ram, Chrysomallos, which was held in Colchis. History: ===Origin===; Chrysomallus was a magical flying, golden-fleeced ram. It was sent to rescue her children of Nephele when and evil Oracle decreed that they were about to be sacrificed to the gods. The ram carried the children all the way to Colchis at the far end the Black Sea and then instructed the boy to sacrifice him to the gods and lay his fleece in the grove of Ares.; The serpent Drakon Ismenios the offspring Ares was sent to guard the sacred Golden Fleece forever in order to remind mortals of the mercy and authority of the Olympian gods.; ===Quest for the Golden Fleece===; Jason and his crew of Argonauts (including Hercules) set out on a quest for the Golden Fleece, as the sole way for the the evil ruler of Jason's homeland to step down. Jason foolishly let his guard down, and the Argonauts were decimated by a deadly reptilian beast, until Hercules bested the monster.; ===Modern Age===; It eventually ended up in the private collection of the oligarch and arms dealer Pavel Urza in Russia, where Theseus tried to steal it. As his stealthy approach was foiled by the ringing of his cellphone, Hercules calling him to join his Gods of War, Theseus blasted his way out, though it is unrevealed if he managed to steal the Golden Fleece anyway, and what happened to it afterwards. ============================================================ Glass of Doom Kind: item Page: Glass of Doom Formal name: Glass of Doom Other aliases: Sands of Death Type: Artifact First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 158 Created by: Roy Thomas; Marie Severin Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Living Tribunal History: The Living Tribunal summoned the Hourglass of Destiny from the depths of timeless time warning Doctor Strange that he had until the Sands of Death within it had run their course, at which point he would return and if in the meantime Doctor Strange had he not undone the evil work of liberating Zom he would have destroyed the Earth. ============================================================ Gnorr's Moon-Robots Kind: item Page: Gnorr's Moon-Robots Formal name: Moon-Robot Type: Robot First appearance: Marvel Mystery Comics Vol 1 13 Created by: Steve Dahlman Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Gnorr History: These Moon-Robots were used by the alien Gnorr to protect his fortress on the Earth's Moon. In the 1940's, Simon Crane, his daughter Betty Crane, and Professor Zog traveled to the Moon with Zog's robot Electro.; When Electro came upon Gnorr's castle, Gnorr's robots attacked him. He fought off the first wave of robots but was defeated when a second wave attacked. The robots brought Electro to Gnorr who trapped him in a clear dome. Gnorr met his end when Zog and his allies destroyed his castle when grenades while Electro survived. It's unknown if Gnorr's robots were destroyed along with the castle. If they did, they likely became inert when Gnorr died.; ==Capabilities==; Being so large, the robots naturally possessed a great deal of strength. They were able to overpower the robot Electro, though they mostly relied on sheer numbers to win. ============================================================ Genus Formula Kind: item Page: Genus Formula Formal name: Genus Formula Other aliases: Genus Compound; Genus Drops; Genus Serum Type: Drug First appearance: Invaders Vol 3 5 Created by: Chip Zdarsky; Carlos Magno; Butch Guice Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Atlantean Lead designer: Machan Additional designers: Namor, Hordeculture, Roxxon Place of creation: Oracle Incorporated, New York City, New York, United States of America Current owner: Armageddon Girl Previous owners: Hordeculture; Roxxon; Atlantis; U.S. Government Properties: DNA Manipulation: The Genus Formula was able to rewrite DNA of living beings in the same way how the late mutant Genus's power worked. That being transforming men into cats, humans into mutants, animals into hideous chimera's, etc.; Initial tests of the antigen would change anything not of human descent into baseline homo sapiens on a permanent basis, as secondary exposure to the newer chemical solution would not affect protoformal coverts to Atlantean state. This process of special conversion was flawed however, as the concoction's conversion process was dangerously unstable without it's genetic donor to regulate the transformation process.; Without the Homo Superior subject said power worked around, the compound would become fatal to anyone whom partook of the solvent within a few hours time. History: ===Origin===; Some time following the battle with Destine, Namor McKenzie met up with the illustrious mutant instructor Professor Xavier who asked the Sub-Mariner to join him on a walkabout to find and acclimate other mutants to their cause. One day, they came across one such individual like them as he was being harassed by local law enforcement before being cut down by gunfire in Stony Plain, Alberta.; This would not be the end of the mutant known as Genus however, for decades later during his rise in corporate America to tackle the issue of planet-wide pollution, Prince Namor fell under the sway of a telepathic specter named Machan.; A guilt apparition erroneously created by Professor X whom subtly pushed the dominant consciousnesses actions from behind the scenes while the former ran his company. Exhuming the body of the deceased Tim Rhodes, the Machan entity harvested his genetic tissue for the purpose of devising a long game plan for world conquest in Atlantis's name.; He used what came to be dubbed as the Genus Formula to transform willing Atlantean soldiers into base born homo sapiens and have them infiltrate world governments, alongside their corresponding societal branches to enable the better deployment of their grand scheme.; ===War Ghosts===; Not long afterward, Namor once again declared war on the surface dwellers but use more indirect means of waging his conflict of colonial supremacy.; Using the very same sleeper agents whom he had supplanted within foreign military powers, the mad king, being coaxed into his manic behavior by Machan, instigated a false flag operation wherein Atlantean sleeper agents stationed at a U.S. Naval Base in Portland, Maine launched missiles targeting Atlantis.; This justifying retaliatory defense in lite of the perpetration, allowing Atlantean aggressors to employ usage of their secret elixir via offshore missile strike to transform the surrounding populace into water-breathers and stage a rescue operation. The now converted Atlantean were given citizenship seeing as they can no longer thrive on dry land. Hearing wind of such a miraculous development of science, a major shareholder at Roxxon by the name of Simon Kaito sought to obtain the serum to use for his own purposes.; The greedy corporate worm sent a mercenary squad to procure the testing agent for him so he can buy off the presidency over the larcenous company by selling it to the highest bidder, but the plan went south as Captain Steven Rogers and Sargent Bucky Barns had infiltrated the undersea kingdom at the same time Roxxon launched its pincer attack.; In the ensuing pursuit, a vial of the solution cracked and reverted Cap back to form while also rendering Namor human as well. The two were stranded for some months, but luck smiled upon them after finding the hidden laboratory where the thieves had taken the serum too. Finding out what Roxxon scientists were doing with his handiwork enraged Namor to no end. A brutal fight between an exo-mech pilot, the world's oldest soldier, and the now mortal king of the sea broke out over whom would possess the formula. Quick thinking on Mr. Rogers' part restored Namor's mutantism once again, whom would go back to type by sicking maligned experimental subjects created by the compound upon their cruel lab techs.; Once Machan had been disposed of and the global threat presented by Atlantis had been dealt with, conflict between the American's and Atlanteans finally died down, and both sides falsely stating they destroyed their samples of the Genus Compound whence the converted citizens had been restored to normalcy.; ===Battle for the Serpent Crown===; While on a quest to retrieve a magical artifact before the genocidal madman Imus Champion could lay claim to ultimate power, under coaxing by Mephisto. Conan the Cimmerian and a travel companion of his had taken a modified dose of the formula given by Princess Shuri, temporarily giving them deep sea traversal in order to move through the ocean depths to secure it.; ===Hordeculture vs. X-Men Green===; Searching for a weapon to use against mutants, Hordeculture stole the Genus Formula from Roxxon. They then modified the formula to specifically devolve mutants into a depowered human form upon exposure. During a direct battle with X-Men Green, Lily Leymus shot Armageddon Man devolving him to a human. Then she tried to shoot Nature Girl, Armageddon Man sacrificed himself by jumping in front of the shot. The second dose of the Genus Formula then devolved Armageddon Man into an extinct lemur.; Following their battle with Hordeculture, X-Men Green went into hiding in Santo Marco. While in hiding, they altered the Genus Formula creating Genus Drops, small pellets that could be carried by dragonflies and that would devolve any sentient life on contact. Choosing Niagara Falls as the site of their first attack, Nature Girl was intercepted by the X-Men who located her after Spider-Girl turned off her psy-blocker. ============================================================ Genetics Machine Kind: item Page: Genetics Machine Formal name: Genetics Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 3 25 Created by: Steve Englehart; Ron Lim Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull History: The Genetics Machine was built by the Skrulls to restore to their race the birthright they lost, the ability to shapeshift.

Fenris Wolf was freed from Gleipnir thanks to the intervention of A.I.M. who suggested that being the the son of Loki, and knowing that Loki was a master shapeshifter, he too should be able to change shape like his father. To do this, the Fenris Wolf devoured one of the A.I.M. scientists and took his shape, and being that it's new human size was much smaller than its natural shape, the collar tied to Gleipnir managed to slip off.; When the Mangog attacked Asgardia, Jane Foster, the Mighty Thor, tied him up with Gleipnir, before tying the chains to Mjolnir and hurling the hammer into the Sun, taking the Mangog with it, destroying Mjolnir. Gleipnir or a part of it, was recovered by Loki. When Loki was attacked by Mánagarmr and rescued by Jane, now a Valkyrie, he gave her the chain in hopes to restrain the wolf. ============================================================ Globule of Darkness Kind: item Page: Globule of Darkness Formal name: Globule of Darkness Type: Weapon First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 33 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Atlantean History: Globules of Darkness were released like bombs by a vessel.

Place of creation: Unnamed A.I.M. base, USA Place of destruction: Unnamed A.I.M. base, USA Previous owners: M.O.D.O.K. Properties: The armor gave M.O.D.O.K. a great deal of augmented strength, being enough to throw the Hulk around. It could also be presumed that it was extremely durable, though not durable enough to withstand being impaled by a train thrown by the Hulk. History: When the Hulk attacked an A.I.M. base to retrieve certain technology, M.O.D.O.K. deployed Project G.O.D.O.S. to stop him. At first, M.O.D.O.K.'s large suit seemed to defeat the Hulk, but the gamma mutate was able to impale the armor with a large train he had tossed into the base earlier. The armor was presumably destroyed with the A.I.M. base as it exploded. ============================================================ Gigante Destructor (Earth-TRN911) Kind: item Page: Gigante Destructor Formal name: Gigante Destructor Other aliases: Giant Servant Type: Robot First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man (MX) Vol 1 137 Created by: José Luis Durán Reality: Earth-TRN911 Lead designer: Satánica's husband Additional designers: Satánica Place of destruction: A cave lab outside New York City Current owner: Satánica Previous owners: Satánica's husband History: A male scientist designed quasi-human robots, but his invention did not arouse interest and was taken for a madman. He built androids to use one of them in a demonstration, during which he was met with ridicule. A heavy object fell on the robot's head, damaging it. The robot then wrecked and killed a person who had previously taunted the scientist. The scientist was charged with the murder and executed. Her widow vowed revenge on humanity, and she took control of her husband's robots for that purpose. She adapted the robots to have superhuman strength and human appearance but gigantic size. So she took the name of Satánica and prepared for a campaign of revenge against humanity, using the robots as hitmen. She acquired a hidden laboratory in the mountains outside of New York City, where she used machines to re-charge robots with electricity, and used a truck to discreetly transport the creatures.; At the beginning of her plan, Satanic sent her robots to destroy buildings in New York City. That attracted the attention of the Army and the superhero El Hombre Araña. Together, the soldiers and el Hombre Araña knocked down one robot, but it escaped. El Hombre Araña looked for the robots - and found three of them meeting with Satánica as she briefed them on their following mission. El Hombre Araña revealed himself to challenge Satánica. Satánica gave him her name, and sent the giants against the hero. El Hombre Araña's strength failed to pierce the robots' armor, and he was eventually overcome. Seeing el Hombre Araña tied and helpless, Satánica decided to cage him in her lair instead of killing him.; Meanwhile, the city was flabbergasted at the mysterious giants, the media trying to find rhyme or reason behind those. J. Jonah Jameson of El Clarín erroneously believed that el Hombre Araña had run away when needed, and order Robertson to write about it.; Satánica then sent some giants to the city to cause more damage, and others to re-charge electricity, while she finished other steps of her plan. El Hombre Araña managed to untie himself, but pretended to be still tied on his cage, waiting for a chance. Once the robots were charged, Satánica ordered them to kill el Hombre Araña but, when they opened the cage, el Hombre Araña escaped. El Hombre Araña, having wormed information out of Satánica, reached the robots' controls and altered the voltage on the devices to make the robots' heads blow up. Enraged, Satánica took a can of dynamite and a match, causing an explosion that destroyed part of the cave and the robots. El Hombre Araña managed to take cover behind a wall, and later reported to the police the details of the case, using the remains of the robots as proof.; ==Powers==; Superhuman strength, allowing them to break el Hombre Araña's webbing and tear down a building.; Extraordinary speed.; Armored against damage, including el Hombre Araña's strength level and military weaponry.; ==Weaknesses==; They must be periodically re-loaded with electricity using specific machines.; They can obey spoken orders, but their functioning is controlled using dials from the main laboratory. Using these controls, an operator may destroy the robots.; When damaged on the head, they may break down and behave erratically.; } ============================================================ Golden Gaze of the Gorgon Kind: item Page: Golden Gaze of the Gorgon Formal name: Golden Gaze of the Gorgon Type: Spell First appearance: Strange Academy Presents: Death of Doctor Strange Vol 1 1 Created by: Skottie Young; Mike Del Mundo Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Doctor Strange ============================================================ Ghazan Wine Kind: item Page: Ghazan Wine Formal name: Ghazan Wine Type: Food First appearance: Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 115 Created by: Larry Yakata Reality: Earth-616 History: Ghazan Wine was a famous wine produced in the Ghaza region of Shem during the Hyborian Age.

The console would scan the target DNA and identify their home reality, after which a spider-like robot named "Anyr" would build a laser cage out of energy web, which would send the target home when completed.; The Go Home Machine was used by Miles Morales to escape from the pursuit by the entire Spider Society. However, because Miles was an Anomaly - a person from Earth-1610 bitten by a Radioactive Spider from Earth-42, his DNA was altered on a genetic level. Without him noticing, the Machine scanned him as a native of Earth-42 and sent him there, trapping Miles with no way back. Miguel then used the Go Home Machine to send Gwen back to her home reality after expelling her from the Spider Society. ============================================================ Glx Forearm Guard Kind: item Page: Glx Forearm Guard Formal name: Glx Forearm Guard Type: Forearm guard First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 98 Created by: Fabian Nicieza; Michael Bair Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Glx technicians Previous owners: Glx; Consortium Properties: The Forearm Guard is a device used by aliens of the semi-humanoid Glx species to cover their lower arms (also including a black glove for the hand) when in situations of open conflict. It includes mechanism of advanced technology that provide the Glx with protection in their limbs, and they are believed to increase their strength and efficiency for arm-based attacks. The Forearm Guard also straightens the arm so that, when injured or broken, the person would suffer less its effects, like a plaster; and it is useful to cover the limb when using certain hand-held weapons with long butts that the Glx soldiers favor. The Forearm Guard is wearable technology that a Glx can put on and take off; and it can be removed by third parties should the wearer does not resist.; Surprisingly, the Forearm Guard can be adapted to a variety of sizes. Glx are a tall species, 8 foot average, with their limbs proportional to their stature. Earth-born human mutant Northstar, who is 5'11", took one of these Forearm Guards to wear himself, and adjusted it to his considerably slimmer and shorter arm. History: The Forearm Guard was among the standard equipment for the Glx ground forces of the Consortium, an intergalactic business conglomerate with financial interests in thousands of world through the Milky Way employing beings of many different species. These Glx soldiers moved by foot, with hand-held weapons, and were useful both for ranged and personal attacks, as the Forearm Guard contributed to the damage they caused with their fists and arms.; The Consortium resorted to Glx soldiers, among other forces, to attack the city of Toronto on Earth, their aim being the capture of superhuman Her, who had taken refuge there. Her was defended by Canadian superheroes Alpha Flight. After not succeeding in the first wave, the Consortium mothership released a smaller ship with Glx ground troops to contribute in taking the streets. At least one of the platoons was confronted by superfast Alpha Northstar, who battered several Glx with his fists at superspeed. One of the Glx recovered initiative and hit Northstar with his Forearm Guard-protected arms, breaking Northstar's arm and leaving his hand bloody, before being knocked down himself. Northstar then took the Glx's Forearm Guard to protect his arm during the rest of the fight, without thinking of retreating, and tried to find its offensive capabilities. Unsatisfied with the Glx technology, Northstar discarded it mere moments later, way before the battle was over.; The Consortium was utterly defeated in that fight. It is unclear what happened with the Glx soldiers and their gear. ============================================================ Ghost Wall Defense Kind: item Page: Ghost Wall Defense Formal name: Ghost Wall Defense Type: Spell First appearance: New Avengers Vol 2 5 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical spell Current owner: Doctor Strange Properties: The Ghost Wall Defense is a personal defense spell obtained from the oral tradition of the Text of the Real.

It could seemingly grant magical powers to animals, and was the only thing that came to Jason Wong's mind when investigating how a squirrel (in fact possessed by Dormammu) could had magic powers. Notes: The relation between the Gnarian Eye and the Gnarian Orb, whether they are distinct, the same, or part of a set, is unrevealed. History: The Gnarian Orb was a mystic artifact, a multifaceted, multicolored gem that had been missing for two thousand years.; Hired by an unrevealed party described as a "very important client", the Vulture stole the Gnarian Orb from an unidentified woman in a building of Manhattan. The robbery was interrupted by Spider-Man. Before the Vulture could make his escape, Doctor Strange teleported the Vulture to a police station and the Gnarian Orb back to its owner. ============================================================ Godkiller (Dagger) (Earth-22145) Kind: item Page: Godkiller (Dagger) Formal name: Godkiller Other aliases: Project Gottmorder Type: Dagger First appearance: Marvel's Midnight Suns Created by: Zach Bush; Scott Wittbecker; Rony Kahana; Shanon Ingles; Patrick Kevin Day; Matthew Garcia-Dunn Reality: Earth-22145 Origin: Fashioned from a piece sliced off Chthon Current owner: Hunter Previous owners: Red Skull Material: Orichalcum Properties: Ability to cut through anything, including Gods. History: During the Elder God Chthon's last appearance on the mortal plane, the forces of humanity assembled to drive him back, and in the process of doing so sliced off a part of the Dark God. Lost for centuries, that part was forged into Godkiller, a weapon with a hilt of Orichalcum. The Godkiller was immensely powerful, able to cut through any physical and mystical barriers and to drain energy out of anything it touched. It was believed that it could even kill God-like beings, as it was said that only Chthon could kill Chthon. During World War II it was acquired Red Skull who kept it as a contingency in hidden tunnels dug under Wundagore Mountain that remained secret even after Red Skull's death.; In the 2020s, Hydra resurrected Lilith who ended up taking it over. Unhappy with this, Crossbones decided to leak Red Skull's secret to Captain America. Being his usual self, Crossbones went about by taking a bunch of civilians hostage and threatening to obliterate them unless Rogers showed up to face him in person. The showdown in Transia ended with Crossbones falling seemingly to his death, but not before he showed a USB stick with the information into Rogers' hand. After the information was decoded, the Hunter and Wolverine infiltrated the tunnels the recovered the Godkiller, which immediately spoke to Hunter's mind and showed them a vision of Chthon.; Back at the Abbey, Doctor Strange performed research on the Godkiller that uncovered its origins and capabilities. It was also determined that the Hunter was the only one able to wield, as attempts by anyone else to touch it ended violently. A plan was formulated to use the Godkiller to kill Lilith, with all of the Midnight Suns and the Avengers teaming together for the final mission. However Lilith revealed that her intention was to bring forth Chthon only so that she could kill him and end his stranglehold over her. Unfortunately, Lilith broke the Hunter's collar which allowed Chthon to take their body over and stab Lilith with Godkiller. The Hunter was able to shake off Chthon's possession and together with others formed a protective seal to banish Chthon once again. Lilith then used the Godkiller to stab Darkhold itself, severely weakening Chthon and allowing for his influenced to be removed, while the final fate of the Dark God himself remained uncertain. ============================================================ Globe of Life Kind: item Page: Globe of Life Formal name: Globe of Life Type: Cosmic object First appearance: Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions Vol 1 1 Created by: Mark Gruenwald; Steven Grant; Bill Mantlo; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Grandmaster Previous owners: Death Properties: Cosmic object capable of giving life to any being, even immortals.

Notes: The golden blade was not created by Robert E. Howard in "Delcardes' Cat", but was introduced in the adaptation of the story in Kull the Conqueror Vol 1 7 (March, 1973), written by Gerry Conway and penciled by Marie Severin. Trivia: Despite being wielded by Kull in the story "Wolfshead" (Kull the Conqueror Vol 1 8; May, 1973), the golden blade doesn't appear as the sword used by Kull on the cover, unlike for the covers of Kull the Conqueror Vol 1 7 (March, 1973) and #10 (September, 1973). History: ===Old Days===; It is unclear if the "Old Days" are supposed to be either at the end of the Elder Days, or during an earlier era within the Pre-Cataclysmic Age.; After men almost defeated Enchanted Domain during a bloody battle, their mighty king made a pact with the Enchanted Domain, and the king left a golden blade in the trunk of the Eternal Tree as a sign of good faith. Only a man as noble as that king could remove the blade, and only the king of Valusia could enter the lake.; ===Pre-Cataclysmic Age===; The kings of Valusia seemingly knew of the Enchanted Domain, but not of the golden blade left in the Eternal Tree.; ====Age of Kull====; Circa 18,5000 BC, after Thulsa Doom, in the guise of Lady Delcardes' slave Kuthulos and speaking as if he was Delcardes' alleged talking and clairvoyant cat of the Old Race Saremes, informed King Kull that Brule was detained by demons beneath the Forbidden Lake, Kull headed there. Fighting a tentacled water-creature, a water-walking giant spider, and a shaeshifting water-creature, he finally arrived at the Eternal Tree, from which he unsheathed a golden blade, before being snatched by a giant serpent.; Eventually arriving in the Enchanted Domain, Kull was met with the dwellers of the kingdom, led by their king, who initially intended to slay Kull, until the king recognized the blade wielded by Kull. He halted the attack, recounted Kull of the story of his people, and informed him that Brule wasn't here. A steed was provided for Kull to return to the surface, taking the golden blade with him as he confronted Saremes and Delcardes, prompting Thulsa Doom to reveal himself.; Kull wielded the golden blade as he campaigned against the Lemurian pirates, fought Demontur in Wolf-form, helped depose Dom Vinsala, as he was informed by Count Murom Bora Ballin of the Scorpion's conspiracy, and as he campaigned against the invading Zarfhaanans led by Queen Veria and threatening Kamula. After Kull was captured in battle by the Zarfhaanans, the golden blade was returned by a Zarfhaana warrior-women to the Valusians, to taunt them and prove to them the capture of Kull. He donned it again to meet the Kamulans and accept their gratitude. ============================================================ Golden Buddha statue Kind: item Page: Golden Buddha statue Formal name: Golden Buddha Statue Type: Statue First appearance: Punisher Vol 2 51 Created by: Mike Baron; Tom Morgan Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Laos Material: Gold Dimensions: 30 feet high History: The Golden Buddha was a 30 ft statue, which had been stolen from a temple in Laos by the Chinese Army. The Savage Tigers of New York, an American branch of the White Lotus Society, smuggled it to the United States and kept it in a warehouse owned by the Pearl of Shadowed Enlightenment. The Punisher and his temporary allies, the Royal Cobras battled the Savage Tigers at the warehouse and defeated them. Upon learning local restaurant owner Li Pung and his kidnapped cook Charlie, whom he was trying to rescue, were former members of the Chinese Army and were behind the stealing of the Buddha statue, Frank coerced Li Pung to return the statue to Laos. ============================================================ Guardsman Armor Kind: item Page: Guardsman Armor Formal name: Guardsman Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 43 Created by: Gerry Conway; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created as an emergency backup to the main Iron Man suit. Lead designer: Anthony Stark Additional designers: Kevin O'Brien Place of creation: Stark Industries, Long Island Current owner: Michael O'Brien; Ozkar Waters; Jill Carson Dimensions: 6'4" when worn Weight: 155 lbs Model: 1 Properties: The armor only had the basic capabilities of the Iron Man armor. It could fly, fire repulsors, and had limited life support. It enabled the user to lift roughly 40 tons. The armor was powered by a thermoelectric generator and had a 500 watt chemical battery as a secondary power source. Flight was attained through chemically fueled boot-jets that could reach 250 mph and would allow a lift capacity of 1,500 lbs. It was vastly superior to Stark's original armor, being faster, sleeker, more lightweight, as well as overall more efficient. Despite being loosely based on Stark's MK IV armor in terms of appearance, Tony made sure not to make the Guardsman armor his equal.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Marvel Adventures (Earth-20051)===; The Guardsmen were attacked by Loki and his team of villains. Notes: The current version of the Guardsman armor had a bulkier frame and was outfitted with mounted guns on the shoulders. Trivia: Though many people have borrowed or stolen Stark's technology over the years, the Guardsman armor marks one of the few times Tony Stark built a suit of armor meant for someone other than himself. Other examples include the Silver Centurion armor he created for James Rhodes (which Stark kept for himself), the War Machine Armor (which Rhodes wore), and the Iron Spider Armor which Stark created for Peter Parker. History: With his troublesome heart condition, Stark wanted to create a cheaper, scaled-down version of Iron Man for use as a back-up. He based the armor's design loosely on his then-current Model 4 Armor, only without many of the extra details (most notably the anti-gravity pods on each hip and the "cuffed" gloves and boots), making it very sleek and form-fitting. The helmet was similar to the Iron Man armor only without the mouth section, and a "less human" face compared to Stark's own armor. A flaw in the cybernetic control of the original design led to the original user, Stark's friend Kevin O'Brien, being driven insane. In his unstable condition, Kevin soon became a pawn in Simon Gilbert's attempts to oust Stark from his own company. Stark was forced to don his Iron man armor and fight the Guardsman. Stark defeated the Guardsman, who tried to take refuge in an experimental tank. Stark tried to stop him without injuring him, so he shot the tank, but accidentally hit the fuel depot. The tank exploded and killed O'Brien.; When Kevin died, it appeared that the story was finally over. However, several months later the vacant armor was discovered, stolen, and donned by O'Brien's brother, Michael, an NYPD sergeant who wanted revenge on Stark and Iron Man, although he later decided that Iron Man was a hero who had no choice but to kill Kevin to save lives in danger. Michael O'Brien retained the armor (once the insanity flaw was removed) and became security head for Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S..; The armor was later put back into production by Stane International. Stane sold a number of the armors to the Vault for security. Oddly enough, Michael O'Brien was the security head for the Vault at the time. During the first Armor Wars, Stark was forced to use his negator packs to destroy the 41 known armors assigned to the Vault. Afterward, Stane International (under the control of Justin Hammer) built replacement armors, but without Stark's Iron Man technology, and they were markedly inferior to the original suits. Stark Enterprises later entered into an agreement with the United States government to replace the Stane suits with superior new models, with security safeguards in place to prevent their misuse.; Edwin Cord produced modified versions of the Guardsman armor for the Jury.; Damage Control and the CSA also worked on versions of the armor. ============================================================ Great Key Kind: item Page: Great Key Formal name: Great Key Type: Staff First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 24 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Michael Twoyoungmen History: The Great Key was a gleaming staff. When used at the Eye of the World it opened the gateway to the Realm of Beasts. ============================================================ Grim Reaper's Scythe Kind: item Page: Grim Reaper's Scythe Formal name: Grim Reaper's Scythe Type: Scythe First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 52 Created by: Roy Thomas; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Tinkerer Current owner: Grim Reaper Material: Stainless steel Properties: The blade is 48 inches long and is connected by a 24 inch shaft to the basket hilt by which it is held. It has at least four internal weapons.; Concussive Plasma Blasts: Fires blasts from the handle equivalent to 100 pounds of TNT.; Encephalo-Stunner: By touching the end of the shaft against a living target, the target can be put into a coma that is fatal after three hours.; Anesthetic Gas Spray: Each use can form a cloud of gas capable of rendering all that breathe it unconscious for 20 minutes.; High-speed Buzzsaw: The blade can rotate at over 6000 RPM, which can provide a bullet-deflecting shield, or a low-power helicopter that will negate falling damage from nearly any height.; More recently in his "Death" persona, Eric Williams has a distinctive scythe. However, the weapon appears to have slightly different capabilities. It's power may also be different as he was able to disrupt and defeat Wonder Man. Previously the scythe appeared to be a minor nuisance to this Ionic Avenger. History: The Scythe has had Its technology upgraded over the years, first by the Space Phantom ============================================================ Grasscutter Kind: item Page: Grasscutter Formal name: Grasscutter Other aliases: Grasscutter Sword; The Great Sword; Kusanagi-no-Tsurguri; Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi; Kusanagi no Tsurugi; Red Sword Type: Sword First appearance: Black Axe Vol 1 2 Created by: Simon Jowett; Brian Michael Bendis; Rob Haynes Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Immortal Blacksmith with No Name Place of creation: Immortal Forge Place of destruction: Gehenna, New Zealand, Earth Previous owners: Gorgon; Amatsu-Mikaboshi; Susanoo; Amaterasu; Yamato-Hime; Yamato-Take; Kaori Tamayoshi; Hand; Fandral; Phobos Dimensions: 71 centimeters in length Weight: 1,380 grams Notes: Grasscutter is a translation of Kusanagi no Tsurugi. History: ===Ancient Times===; ====Origin====; Ages ago there was a war between the Greek gods and the Japanese gods. Zeus and Amatsu-Mikaboshi separately told a single blacksmith to forge a weapon for them. The blacksmith crafted two swords: one perfect, called Grasscutter; the other flawed, called Godkiller. Grasscutter was given to Amatsu-Mikaboshi.; ====Susanoo====; After slaying Yamata-no-Orochi, the exiled god Susa-No-O-Izumo found the Grasscutter inside its belly and offered it to his sister, the goddess Amaterasu.; ====Yamato-Take====; In 110 AD, Prince Yamato-Take stopped at Ise Shrine to pray before his battle against the eastern rebels. The high-priestess of the shrine, Princess Yamato-Hime, gave him the Grasscutter, which he later used to cut down the high grass of a field the eastern rebels ignited to kill him.; ===Modern Age===; ====The Hand====; Centuries later, the Hand tried to steal Grasscutter from a family that made swords for Clan Yashida, but Black Axe and Sunfire stopped them. The Hand managed to steal it later though, prompting Daredevil to team-up with the Chaste to recover the sword.; ====Fandral====; Thor and the Warriors Three were sent to claim the sword as part of a wyrd. They reached the temple it was located, finding the temple warriors battling Amatsu-Mikaboshi's demons. Spirits slain by the sword manifested themselves and guarded the sword as Thor approached. After the tanuki in charge was told why the sword was needed, the spirits allowed it to be taken. This in turn freed them from their binding within the sword. The sword was then entrusted to Fandral.; ====Phobos====; Years later, Grasscutter finally fell into the hands of Amatsu-Mikaboshi again. He used it to conquer the Yomi as well as its demons, whom he used to destroy many of his brethren and absorb their powers. Mikaboshi then planned to have Alexander kill his father Ares with the sword and take his place as God of War as one aspect of his attack on the Olympians. Instead, Alexander killed Mikaboshi with the blade.; Prior to using Grasscutter to kill Mikaboshi, Alexander had stabbed his father with it; his blood stained the blade, turning it permanently red. Alexander, now called Phobos, wielded the bloodstained Grasscutter in battle against the Godkiller-wielding Gorgon. Both swords broke during the battle, but that didn't stop Gorgon from using his broken blade to kill his opponent. Following Phobos' death, Gorgon claimed the broken Grasscutter for himself.; ====Gorgon====; Grasscutter was eventually repaired alongside Godkiller under unknown circumstances. The sword's restoration seemingly made it lose its red hue somehow. Both Grasscutter and Godkiller were wielded by Gorgon in the Contest of Swords held in Otherworld. ============================================================ Grimorium Verum Kind: item Page: Grimorium Verum Formal name: Grimorium Verum Type: Magical Book First appearance: Hellstorm: Prince of Lies Vol 1 3 Created by: Rafael Nieves; Michael Bair Origin: Magical Notes: Though the Grimorium Verum exists in Earth-1218, its description in Marvel Comics, flesh-bound, and compared (and almost equated) with the Darkhold (Marvel's equivalent of the Necronomicon, and its source in the Marvel Universe), it appears to be inspired by the occult books of the Cthulhu Mythos. History: The flesh-bound Grimorium Verum was one of the oldest occult textbooks in the world, and stated to be almost as powerful as the Darkhold.; The knowledgge of the Grimorium Verum, as well as of the Forbidden Rites, The Lesser Key of Solomon and the Necronomicon, was originated from an ancient, advanced race who once walked the Earth before being vanished, leaving no trace safe for some of their secret science, stolen from them by humans, and by which they might one day return. For safety, that knowledge was scattered to pieces, some through the aforementioned books. Such description fits the Great Old Ones, the degenerated Elder Gods of Earth, and multiple other races, demons, and gods.; For a time in most of Europe, owning the Grimorium Verum would get the owner executed (as would the owner of other tomes like Forbidden Rites, The Lesser Key of Solomon and the Necronomicon).; ==Content==; The grimoire contained "the usual" incantation and potions, as well as a spell to summon the Devil.; Its contents may not actually be true magic, but rather knowledge that early humans had scavenged from an unknown race of highly-advanced beings (possibly aliens) that once walked the Earth, with the same being suggested of similar tomes like Forbidden Rites, The Lesser Key of Solomon and the Necronomicon. ============================================================ Groth-Thompson Overblown Scattergun (Earth-9047) Kind: item Page: Groth-Thompson Overblown Scattergun Formal name: Groth-Thompson Overblown Scattergun Type: Firearm First appearance: What The--?! Vol 1 1 Created by: Steve Mellor; Joe Albelo Reality: Earth-9047 Current owner: Pulverizer Notes: A character mentions that there's a Groth-Thompson Overblown Scattergun among the pile of weapons taken from the Pulverizer, but no-one identifies which of the weapons in the pile (pictured) is the Groth-Thompson. History: One of the Pulverizer's main weapons, it was illegal. ============================================================ Grapple Gloves Kind: item Page: Grapple Gloves Formal name: Grapple Gloves Type: Gloves First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 18 Created by: Archie Goodwin; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Aegean Sea Current owner: Anthony Stark; Madame Masque History: A pair of these Grapple Gloves was given by Madame Masque to Anthony Stark impersonator, as he was training on a remote island in the Aegean Sea to infiltrate the Stark Industries. Later on, they both used them to climb down a furnace and sneak into the factory unnoticed. ============================================================ Green Opal Kind: item Page: Green Opal Formal name: Green Opal Type: Jewel First appearance: Lorna, the Jungle Girl Vol 1 14 Created by: Don Rico; Jay Scott Pike Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Alexei (a communist agent) Properties: The Green Opal is apparently a sentient intelligence able to communicate verbally with the outside world. The gem had the power to levitate itself as well as fire powerful bolts of destructive force, the properties of which are likely mystical in nature. History: The Green Opal is a powerful and sentient gemstone the origins of which are unknown, but it became an object of legend among the tribes of the Congo jungle. In the year 1955 a Russian agent named Alexei sought to obtain the Green Opal in order to conquer the jungles for his communist masters. To this end he tricked jungle explorer Lorna the Jungle Girl to help him retrieve the Opal and took her prisoner in the process. He then constructed a device that allowed him to harness the power of the Opal for his goals. Lorna eventually broke free with the help of her pet ape Mikki and friend Greg Knight. When Alexei attempted to use the weapon he invented the energies of the Green Opal broke free, destroying the device and revealing its sentience to those gathered. The Green Opal explain that it was observing the humans and then demanded that the communist agents surrender to the authorities or be hunted down by the Green Opal. Fearing the Opal's powers, Alexei and his minions did just that.; The Green Opal disappeared soon after its current fate is unknown. ============================================================ Gravitonium (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Gravitonium Formal name: Gravitonium Type: Material First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 3 Created by: Jed Whedon; Maurissa Tancharoen Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Franklin Hall Additional designers: Ian Quinn Place of creation: Malta Current owner: Hydra Previous owners: House of Kasius; Ian Quinn; S.H.I.E.L.D. Properties: Gravity Manipulation History: Gravitonium (Gr) "is an extremely rare, high atomic numbered element" that "distorts gravity fields within itself, causing an undulating, amorphous shape." Additionally, "when an electric current is applied, the gravitonium solidifies, and those gravity fields erupt randomly, changing the rules of gravity around it." The atomic number of Gravitonium is 123, while its Atomic mass is 308 Da.; The existence and applications of gravitonium were heavily theorized by Dr. Franklin Hall during his time at the University of Cambridge. The element was eventually discovered in Malta by one of Hall's classmates, Ian Quinn.; The only known mass of the element was then taken from Malta stored underneath the Fridge, where it was found by Hydra. ============================================================ Grasshopper's Suit Kind: item Page: Grasshopper's Suit Formal name: Grasshopper Battle Suit Other aliases: Grasshopper Suit; Green Machine Type: Battlesuit First appearance: G.L.A. Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Slott; Paul Pelletier Reality: Earth-616; Earth-TRN743 Origin: Grasshopper-themed armor created using parts of the Gauntlet Armor Lead designer: Possibly Roxxon and/or Doug Taggert Additional designers: Dard'van Place of creation: Likely New York City, New York Current owner: Grasshopper Previous owners: Doug Taggert; Neil Shelton; unnamed third Grasshopper; unnamed Skrull Alternate owners: Brad Bailey; Steve Rogers; Brett Punchwell; Jon Strykeblayde; Paul Grimm Properties: Powerful Hydraulic Legs; Superhuman Leaping: The Grasshopper suit possessed powerful legs allowing the user to perform superhuman leaps.; Boot-Jets: Those allow the Grasshopper to leap to outer space.; Powerful Kicks; Helmet; Zoom-Lenses: The helmet was equipped with zoom lenses that enhanced the user's long distance vision.; "Insectroid Sensors": The helmet was equipped "insectroid sensors" that were able to detect danger.; Tentacles: The Skrull version of the Grasshopper suit possessed several mechanical tentacles. History: The exact origins of the Grasshopper Suit are unknown, but the legs were eventually revealed to be part of the Gauntlet Armor. Doug Taggert was the first known user of the Grasshopper Suit. For weeks, Taggert fought crime as the Ever-Gregarious Grasshopper part-time while also working part-time as security at Roxxon. While his crush on his co-worker Cindy Shelton went unrequited as Taggert, Cindy ironically only had eyes for Grasshopper.; One night Grasshopper came across Batroc's Brigade in the middle of a heist while out on patrol. During the fight, Grasshopper was recruited to the Great Lakes Avengers and then was quickly killed by a sai in the head from Zaran.; Approximately six months later, Neil Shelton (Cindy's long lost brother) received the Grasshopper Suit while working for Roxxon. Unfortunately, his first time in the suit, he used the "maximum jump" feature and launched into space where he died. The suit was destroyed when it burned up reentering the atmosphere.; Another Grasshopper gained the Grasshopper Suit. After leaping from New York City to Milwaukee to join the Great Lakes Initiative, he was unceremoniously killed by Deadpool.; Yet another Grasshopper gained the Grasshopper Suit during the Skrull invasion. He was able to join the Great Lakes Initiative, but it was revealed that he was a Skrull imposter.; A fifth person eventually took possession of the suit as well as taking possession of the leg portions of the Gauntlet Armor. The Great Lake Avengers and Squirrel Girl tried to protect him when he was attacked by the Cormorant, who wanted his portions of the Gauntlet Armor, but their efforts were in vain, as the Cormorant defeated the all the heroes and took Grasshopper's leg armor, severely injuring him. ============================================================ Gram Kind: item Page: Gram Formal name: Gram Other aliases: Sword of Truth; Fafnir's death; Asgard's bane Type: Sword First appearance: All-New Marvel NOW! Point One Vol 1 1.NOW Created by: Al Ewing; Lee Garbett Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Regin Hriedmarson Additional designers: Andvari, King Loki Place of creation: Asgard Place of destruction: New York City, New York State, Earth Previous owners: Loki; Regin Hriedmarson; Sigurd; Sigmund Properties: Gram has certain unique characteristics on account of Andvari's curse:; It is said that Gram is capable of piercing any lie with its "truth magic".; It can allow a possessed individual to understand their own corruption and thereby try to force it out of themselves, as it did for Thor when he was infected with a corruption following battles with Malekith, giving a nonlethal injury despite impaling him through his torso.; The amount of pain caused by the blade is connected to the amount to which and degree of the lie told by the victim to themselves, though it does draw blood when it strikes someone regardless of the truths. For instance, King Loki does not hide his true nature at all, and thus is virtually immune to its effects. By contrast, Regin, who was forced to understand his own goals as not justice, but murder, was killed by the truth.; It can free individuals from telepathic influence, as the thoughts planted in them are untrue. History: Gram was the sword which was forged by Regin Hriedmarson to be the bane of Asgard in retaliation against King Loki's murder of his brother, the shapeshifter Otr, and also to kill his brother, Fafnir, for his greed. Regin gave the sword to Sigurd, in order to kill Fafnir, and, bathed in the curse of Andvari's gold that flowed through Fafnir's veins, became entrenched with extremely powerful "truth magic". It was locked for eons by Odin in a special vault which required five keys to be opened, and it was meant to be for Loki if he be worthy. The five keys were infused by Odin with the powers of "journeys", "endurance", "secrets", "new beginnings", and "brotherhood", respectively.; In modern times, Loki gathered the keys and used it to open the vault and reclaim the sword as his own. He used it to remove the corruptive influence of King Loki (without knowing what the corruption was) from his adopted brother, Thor, thereafter.; Sigurd briefly usurped it from Loki as he went to "Kaluu", truly Mephisto, seeking to use its "truth magic" to provide a means to transfer religions and avoid the fate for him from the Disir. Failing in this, but being saved from a contractual torture, by Loki, he lost Gram once more before being sent to Asgardia.; As Loki learned, his future counterpart was immune to its effects. King Loki also admitted to having manufactured the entire history of Gram retroactively after being expelled from Thor with its powers, creating "the cause to the effect".; Gram was destroyed by Odinson during a confrontation after Loki revealed the true fate of his younger self. ============================================================ Grizzly's Exo-Skeleton Kind: item Page: Grizzly's Exo-Skeleton Formal name: Grizzly's Exo-Skeleton Other aliases: Bruin Exoskeleton Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 139 Created by: Gerry Conway; Ross Andru Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created to give Maxwell Markham superhuman strength Lead designer: Miles Warren Current owner: Bruin; Maxwell Markham Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: Enhanced Strength: The suit augments its user's strength.; Clear History: Maxwell Markham obtained the Grizzly Exoskeleton from the Jackal. He used it to attack the Daily Bugle in revenge against Jameson for ruining his wrestling career, but Spider-Man defeated him. The Grizzly then attempted to defeat Spider-Man alongside the Jackal, but was defeated again by Spider-Man and went to prison.; After his release, Markham took the Grizzly Exoskeleton to the Tinkerer for an upgrade. Markham demanded a rematch with Spider-Man so that he could get revenge on Spider-Man and save face among his peers. Spider-Man faked defeat, allowing Grizzly to think he defeated him.; Grizzly later sported a new version of his exoskeleton when he confronted Scott Lang upon mistaking him for Eric O'Grady.; ===Bruin Exoskeleton===; An older version of the Grizzly Exoskeleton was modified by Hobgoblin and sold to an unnamed criminal who took on the name Bruin. ============================================================ Grandmasters Tri-Sphere Kind: item Page: Grandmasters Tri-Sphere Type: Technology First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 69 Created by: Roy Thomas; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Gransmaster ============================================================ Grutan Kind: item Page: Grutan Formal name: Grutan Other aliases: Hulk Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 75 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Don Heck; } Origin: Built by Albert Poole with the assistance of Hank Pym Lead designer: Albert Poole Additional designers: Hank Pym Current owner: Albert Poole History: Albert Poole was tired of being called "Shorty" and "Shrimp," so he attempted to create a growth formula to make himself taller. After several failed attempts, he decided that building a gigantic robot that he could operate from the inside would be better.; He built the Mighty Hulk armor and climbed inside it, but he forgot the key to the machine and was locked inside it. Luckily, he had a lifetime's supply of food and water capsules but, unluckily, he was probably trapped inside of the machine for the rest of his life. ============================================================ Guardian's Battle-Suit Kind: item Page: Guardian's Battle-Suit Formal name: Guardian's Battle-Suit Other aliases: Vindicator's Battlesuit; Weapon Alpha Suit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 109 Created by: Chris Claremont; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: James Hudson Additional designers: Department H Place of creation: Canada Current owner: James Hudson; Heather Hudson; Arsenault Previous owners: Delphine Courtney; James Hudson clone; Michael Pointer Model: 1 Version: 1 History: ===Origin===; James Hudson worked for the Am-Can Oil Corporation and developed the Groundhog Armor to help search for oil deposits underground. However, after hearing it was intended to be used as a weapon by Am-Can Oil and specifically his boss Jerome Jaxon, he resigned. Secretly he left with the suit's helmet, making the suit unusable. A young secretary named Heather followed him, explaining that she agreed with his decisions and that they could seek help from the Canadian government. They admitted they both had developed a strong attraction to each other and soon married. ); In order to avoid prosecution for his actions, James made arrangements with the Canadian Parliament. The Minister of Defence assigned James to head up the Ministry's research and development program known as Department H. Using the suit he formed a team of heroes known as Alpha Flight) and took the codename of Weapon Alpha (and later Vindicator, and later Guardian).; James was later fused with the suit, becoming a cyborg but gaining all its powers himself.; Variations of the suit have been used used by the robot Delphine Courtney while impersonating James , Heather Hudson (as both Vindicator and Guardian), and a clone of James Hudson.; The Guardian suit was later provided to Michael Pointer by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service as a means of controlling his variable energies.; ==Capabilities==; Supersonic flight; The ability to let gravity propel the suit westward at 1000 mph. The visual effect is easily confused with teleportation and/or cloaking. It is most effective when used close to Earth's magnetic poles.; Body armor; Protective force field which automatically triggers if the gravity ability is used; Flares; Ultrasound; Concussive electromagnetic beams. These were originally designed to bore through rock.; Electromagnetism for 'dispersal beams', electrostatic charges and other effects; Lift objects via a 'graviton beam'; Limited ability to generate and control plasma, often in the form of a funnel or vortex; Able to interface with computers; == Alternate Realities ==; Image; Description; Source; On Earth-1610 Colonel John Wraith was a mutant-hating commando who was sanctioned by S.H.I.E.L.D. to head the barbaric Weapon X Project. He used the Vindicator battlesuit to hunt mutants.

Lead designer: James Hudson Previous owners: Sean Benard; James Hudson; Hydra; Alice Hu Properties: Durability: Steel body for moderate resistance to harm. Able to generate electromagnetic force fields.; Flight: While not allowing for full flight, the suit’s ability to manipulate electromagnetic energies allowed it to hover and fly at slow speeds.; Weaponry: The Groundhog armor was able to manipulate electromagnetic energy for a variety of purposes – primarily concussive blasts.; Sensors: Designed for exploration, the armor contained host of sensory systems.; Strength: Able to lift/press 10 tons.; Teleportation: Hydra installed teleporters in their versions of the suit(s). History: Developed by James Hudson while working for the Am-Cam Corporation, this suit of armor was proposed for development, excavation and exploration (possibly in alien environments like Mars). When Hudson discovered that his manager, Jerome Jaxon planned to sell the designs to the US military, he destroyed the plans, stole the unique cybernetic control helmet (whose exclusive rights he owned) and left the company.; The Canadian government would later come into possession of the prototype suits when Am-Cam went bankrupt. Department H used one of these suits in its first attempt a super-team, the Flight, operated by a Vancouver police officer, Sean Benard. When the mission went poorly, Benard quit and challenged Hudson that if he believed in the power of suit so much, he should “wear it himself.”; Hudson would indeed later go on to wear the armor while developing a more refined version that was more powerful and a sleeker design. Hudson used the armor alongside his friend, Logan, to battle a seemingly demonic former super-hero, Chinook.; Some time later, the remaining Groundhog suits that were in the possession of Department H would be seized by Hydra. The combined forces of the X-Men and Alpha Flight stopped the Hydra forces and returned the suits to Department H custody.; When the Master of the World took over Department H, he made use of the Groundhog armor to begin stripping Canada of its natural resources to build a fleet of spaceships. The suit wearers were “political dissidents” who opposed his fake Unity Party and were press ganged into service. Alpha Flight intervened and set them free and recruited the Taskmaster to train them to battle the Master. The “Groundhogs” fought alongside Alpha Flight to stop the Master’s plans. ============================================================ Grapple Rings Kind: item Page: Grapple Rings Formal name: Grapple Rings Type: Weapon First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 125 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian Place of creation: Asgard Current owner: Flying Trolls of Thryheim Version: Original History: The Grapple Rings were used by the Flying Trolls of Thryheim against Loki. ============================================================ Great Machine Kind: item Page: Great Machine Formal name: Great Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 8 9 Created by: Dan Slott; Michael Allred Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Count Crankshaft Place of creation: Inkandessa 3 History: The Great Machine was a powerful photonic matrix built by Count Crankshaft to create the Light-Forms, sentient beings made of solid light projected by this contraption. To this end, the Great Machine holds the Holo-Pods, devices that contain the essence of those projected by the Great Machine. Crankshaft's goal was to find a way to almost entirely diminish the impact in the ecosystem of his species, who had used up and left uninhabitable the previous planets they had called their homeworlds, Inkandessa 1 and 2. Inkandessa 3 was about to suffer the same fate when Crankshaft created the Great Machine, and Inkandessa 4, the final planet in their star system, would've been their last chance.; Ever since the conception of the Light-Forms centuries ago, those few of their species who had refused to transition into holograms, known as Meat-Forms, were tasked with the job to maintain and keep the Great Machine running to ensure the continuing existence of the Light-Forms.; In modern times, the Great Machine was unwittingly put at risk by the Silver Surfer. He and his companion Dawn Greenwood visited Inkandessa 4, and the local Light-Forms secretly replaced her with a Light-Form duplicate, with the intention to dispose of her physical body as dictated by their tradition. When the Surfer learned this, he used his Power Cosmic to temporarily disrupt the solid light constructs to bypass the holographic shield that hid the farm of Countess Crankshaft, where the real Dawn had been taken. The Meat-Forms and Countess Crankshaft worked to fix the Great Machine and eventually restored it. When he was scolded by Countess Crankshaft for damaging the Great Machine, thus putting at risk the lives of the Light-Forms, the Surfer apologized. ============================================================ Gourmet Grenade (Earth-665) Kind: item Page: Gourmet Grenade Formal name: Gourmet Grenade Type: Grenade First appearance: What The--?!

Immortal Hulk Vol 1 10, the issue which first revealed the nature of the Green Door, is prefaced by a excerpt of the song's lyrics, "Green door, what's that secret you're keepin'?" History: The Green Door is a metaphysical barrier that connects the Below-Place, the bottom layer of the Multiverse even below the deepest layer of Hell, to the real world. After death, the souls of Gamma Mutates cross into the Below-Place through the Green Door. They are then capable of returning to life when another Green Door manifests for them, though they possess no memory of their even being in the Below-Place following their resurrection. The first known opening of a Green Door in Earth-616 took place in 9500 BCE, when a young Jordanian man named Tammuz was killed by a radioactive meteor called the Good Green Eye, which allowed Tammuz to then come back to life as a Gamma Mutate. In the modern day, a Green Door was opened in the Los Diablos Missile Base in New Mexico due to the detonation of the Gamma Bomb built by Bruce Banner, which both caused his death and his subsequent resurrection and transformed him into the Hulk.; Through a Green Door, the One Below All is able to exert its influence on Gamma Mutates, albeit it needs a host personality to act through. It eventually found one in the form of the soul of Bruce Banner's father, Brian, who was plunged into the Below-Place after his death in the Chaos War. Using Brian as a conduit, the One Below All began to possess and manipulate Gamma Mutates for its own goal, that being to destroy everything and become the sole presence in the Multiverse. After possessing the Absorbing Man, the One Below All used him to soak up all of the ambient gamma radiation left in the Los Diablos Missile Base, and opened a Green Door into the Below-Place. The Hulk and Bruce were split apart, and Brian attempted to turn Bruce into the new vessel for the One Below All, but the plan failed and the Hulk managed to merge back with Bruce and close the Green Door, returning to Earth.; When he put into motion a plan to help the One Below All bring forth a future in which he succeeded in his plan, the Leader used his occult knowledge to open a Green Door into the Below-Place, where he assimilated Brian Banner and became the One Below All's new host. The Leader began to use Green Doors to take control of Rick Jones, Del Frye, and partly the Hulk himself. The Leader also demonstrated the ability to alter a Gamma Mutate's Green Door, changing it into a Red Door to prevent their resurrection, as he did with Leonard Samson's Green Door when it manifested while he was in the Below-Place.; While the One Below All-possessed Leader shut the Green Doors to prevent the Hulks from escaping him, removing the Gamma Mutates' immortality in the process, Doctor Strange used Betty Ross as a conduit to open a Green Door in the Fifth Cosmos in order to defeat Moridun with a font of magical power surpassing his own.; At some point, due to his nature as a Gamma-irritated being, the Spider-Man villain Digger also managed to return to life after passing through a Green Door from the afterlife, and reconstituted himself. He came under the employ of the would-be New York crime boss the Rose.; Though the Green Doors are shut, an infant Leader seems to be able to both unlock and open them at will, having created the Titan personality inside Bruce Banner with the help of the demon D'Spayre. Later, Eldest and her sibling would take this opening to free the Mother of Horrors, since the One Below All was no longer a threat to them. They eventually succeeded, but mother Vinruviel was too discouraged to continue, so Eldest in possession of the Hulk's body ate Her, absorbing Her powers and becoming the Infernal Hulk. ============================================================ Gravity Ball Kind: item Page: Gravity Ball Formal name: Gravity Ball Type: Technology First appearance: U.S.Avengers Vol 1 12 Created by: Al Ewing; Paco Diaz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull History: The Gravity Ball was a Skrull device approximately the size of a beach ball.

Several of the cast were small-timers, having also starred in Hackenstab Unlimited's Splatterday. The plot dealt with a group of friends, one of whom, Charlie (played by Phil Sealy), becomes a psychopathic killer and murders the others, until only Susie (Irene Polukort) and Kitty the cat are left. Susie comes to believe that "the nightmare is finally over", smoking in the presumed safety of a secluded cabin; but someone (apparently Charlie) murders her from behind with a chimney poker, then goes after Kitty when the end credits begin. Film critic Matt O'Brien wrote a negative review of Gore Galore, condmening not only the dehumanizing sadism and violence, but also the inadequate technique based on excessive fake blood, and the lack of either interest, depth, anticipation or even humor.; The serial killer called the Hangman, believing that modern horror films were a bad example for youth and corrupted their audience, decided to track down those responsible for the film Gore Galore, and obtained a press kit with this list from O'Brien, who was unaware of how dangerous the Hangman was. The Hangman murdered director and co-writer Earl R. Brown, and the following night producer Andrew Paffenroth. The press picked up on these deaths, and upon reading the article O'Brien realized that a serial killer was after the Gore Galore crew. Unable to get the police to protect every possible victim, O'Brien tried to alert one of the screenwriters, James Schumann, but by the time he got to Schumann's house, the Hangman had already killed Schumann. O'Brien contacted the studios to try to obtain the actors' contact information, but executive producer Hiram Haasl refused to hear from O'Brien, who he recognized as a hostile critic. Several of the Gore Galore actors who had also starred in Splatterday, then attended a costume party at Paragon Studios facilities to celebrate the Splatterday wrap-up.

If there is an existing cosmos, it is automatically ended in the process, and only the person using the Grail would survive. Although it is once claimed the existing cosmos would provide the energy for the new one, this is proven untrue when the Grail created the First Cosmos out of nothing. Once the Grail is activated, it cannot be deactivated. The Grail cannot be destroyed, and the Twilight Court's Mordred likens it to trying to blow up a color. In addition, the Grail is meant for heroes. Initially blue-colored and made with jumbled pieces, the Grail only takes on its true, golden, grail form when touched by a hero. Notes: Although Avengers Vol 9 29 use "universe" to describe the Grail, Avengers Vol 9 36 confirms that the Grail would have ended the entire Multiverse. History: ===Origin===; When the Seventh Cosmos was destroyed by the Beyonders and the incursions, Doctor Doom stole the Beyonders' power and created Battleworld to rule. Having survived independently in a life raft, Reed Richards acquired Doom's nigh-omnipotence for himself and began rebuilding the Multiverse as the Eighth Cosmos. While the Eighth Cosmos was supposed to be a direct continuation of the Seventh Cosmos, it was an imperfect re-creation. Richards' inner desire to seek new frontiers created a flaw, which manifested as the Grail on the remnants of Battleworld.; ===Quest for the Grail===; The Grail could not be accessed due to existing in the Missing Moment, a second that that could not be accessed through time travel. The Grail was meant to be striven for but never reached, for it would forcibly end the current cosmos to birth the Ninth Cosmos, with only its wielder being carried over. Like a grail in a quest, it had be unlocked by heroes who completed the Tribulation Events: the fall of the Impossible City, the Endless Night, the King of Magic, the Death Moon, and the Cannibal Culture.; Infuriated that even a second was denied to him, Kang the Conqueror quested for the Missing Moment but was attacked by Myrddin and his Twilight Court. Injured, Kang went to the Avengers and told them about the Tribulation Events, but he left them when Myrddin stole his knowledge about the Missing Moment. Eventually, Kang realized that Myrddin was in fact his own future self, causing Kang to transition into Myrddin. As reaching the Grail required heroes to complete the Tribulation Events, Myrddin created his own, the Twilight Court, but they were repeatedly defeated and killed, forcing Myrddin to rewind time countless times. After two Tribulation Events, Myrddin, tired of failures and losing faith in the Avengers following Doctor Doom's recent rise to power, forced his way through the Missing Moment with help from the Grandmaster's Power Primordial, by opening a rift in reality. The Avengers followed him to Battleworld, but Myrddin had already initiated the Grail. Using a bit of the Grail's power, he commanded the zombies of Battleworld; the Avengers received unexpected help from the Twilight Court, who had been discarded by their master. During the battle, Myrddin reverted back to the villain Kang. Captain Marvel, as a true hero, won the Grail's favor, unlocking its golden form, but the initialization process could not be reversed. Working together, the Avengers and Twilight Court created a rift to the "Zeroth Cosmos," the nonexistent void from before the First Cosmos. The Black Panther volunteered to take the Grail to the Zeroth Cosmos, but before he could do so, the Ashen Combine unexpectedly arrived, stole the Grail, and went through the portal. In the void before there was any universe, the Grail exploded and created the first-ever universe. ============================================================ Gravity Belt Kind: item Page: Gravity Belt Formal name: Gravity Belt Type: Belt First appearance: New Avengers Vol 4 1 Created by: Al Ewing; Gerardo Sandoval Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: A.I.M.

Since then, it has been changed to a Recurve bow and then to a Compound bow.; When his trademark bow is not available, Clint Barton has used other bows such as a carnival bow (seen in Avengers Vol 1 99) or fashioned other functional bows for use, like in Defenders Vol 1 8.; Clint Barton has also altered his bow so that it fit the attire of another of his alter egos: The Golden Archer. History: As the super hero Hawkeye, Clint Barton generally carries a 6.2 foot (2 meter) double-recurved, compound, reinforced-fiberglass longbow. Weighing 5 pounds, the bow requires 75 pounds of force to draw its string the length of a 28-inch arrow (in the terminology of archery, this is referred to as a 75-pound bow). Hawkeye owns three such bows, as well as a variety of other types of bows that he seldom uses professionally. Clint normally uses his bow in conjunction with his arsenal of Trick Arrows.; Barton began carrying a distinctive bow since his adolescent days as a carnival hand. He continued to do so when he later battled Iron Man and eventually joined the Avengers. Hawkeye once described his bow as one of the finest imported models. Hawkeye has used different makes and models; and his bows have been destroyed on occasion: once by Hercules and on another occasion by Daredevil After the incident with Daredevil, Hawkeye was noted to have used a "steel" bow. It is probable that the current model is also of sturdy stock. When out of arrows or engaging a foe in close quarters, Barton has shown proficiency at using his bow as a parrying object and/or a pseudo kendo stick. ============================================================ H.E.X.

Loki gave it to Odin as reparation for stealing Sif's golden hair. Lead designer: Dwarves Additional designers: Odin Place of creation: Nidavellir Place of destruction: Asgard's space Previous owners: Odin Borson; Paladin; Frank Simpson; Mister X; U.S. Agent; Jane Foster Material: Uru Properties: At first the spear was stated to have no power on its own. Being made from uru, it served as a natural channel for Odin's own power in the form of energy blasts and other effects. It would obey Odin's command to mentally return to him and could only be wielded by Odin.; Later stories stated the spear was equal to Mjolnir in power. If thrown it would fly after its target and its tip would be surrounded with electricity. It could destroy towers with ease and would return to its owner when thrown. Unlike Mjolnir, Gungnir has no worthiness enchantment since the Asgardians cannot conceive of anyone but Odin wielding it. Trivia: Unlike Mjolnir, Gungnir doesn't have a magical safeguard, meaning anyone can wield it. History: According to one story, dwarves forged it from sunlight as a gift to Odin. Another story states it was among several objects forged by the Sons of Ivaldi as part of a contest arranged by Loki. According to another story, Gungnir is from a previous Asgard that was destroyed by Ragnarok. The spear unified the nine surviving gods to create a new Odin who claimed Gungnir as his own. How true any of these stories are is unknown.; Odin has used the spear as one of his weapons and a symbol of power throughout his reign. Among its most prominent uses was when he wielded it in battle against Thor and the Eternals right before the Fourth Host of the Celestials came to Earth.; During the assault on Asgard, Gungnir was stolen by the Thunderbolts, ordered by Norman Osborn to bring it to him to turn the tide of his siege of Asgard. However, due to interference from the Mighty Avengers and the desertion of Ant-Man and Paladin, Gungnir was kept out of his hands. Paladin then took the spear far from Asgard, where no one can use it.; At an unknown point, the spear was returned to Asgard, and wielded by Odin after his resurrection. After the death of Odin, an arrow was fashioned from Gungnir, with the head made in the Eternal Flame of Muspelheim and affixed to the spear with sap of Yggdrasill. It was used to ignite Odin's body along with the rest of Gungnir during his funeral. ============================================================ Hand of Tiamat (Earth-928) Kind: item Page: Hand of Tiamat Formal name: Hand of Tiamat Type: Artifact First appearance: 2099 Unlimited Vol 1 4 Created by: Warren Ellis; D'Israeli Reality: Earth-928 Origin: Magical; Celtic Lead designer: Suhgurim the Unstable Previous owners: Doctor Pylon; Necrosis; Metalscream; Suhgurim the Unstable Model: Unique History: The Hand of Tiamat was the severed hand of an eighth century celtic magician and sheep-worrier called Suhgurim the Unstable.

More than three centuries after, a member of the Yin, an ancient Chinese order, was searching for mystical objects and found the Heart. 50yrs later, he died after the orb reduced his body and spirit to nothing. Before dying, he gave the reliquiry its name.; In modern times, the Mandarin entered the castle the member of the Yin formerly owned and found the Heart of Darkness. The Heart of Darkness had been calling out to him, and after touching it, the Heart of Darkness showed the Mandarin that his past defeats were destined so that he become his present self. After battling his past selves to overcome his failings, the Mandarin was granted the power of the Heart, which he used to turn China into a medieval kingdom to rid it of technology.; Iron Man, Force Works, and War Machine fought the Mandarin and his team; The Avatars.; Iron Man managed to defeat the Mandarin by infecting him with an techno-organic virus. Infected with technology, the Heart rejected the Mandarin and vanished in a mystical explosion. It was believed that the Mandarin died in the explosion, but he actually survived and had been transformed into a janitor working in Hong Kong.; ==Capabilities==; The Heart of Darkness grant its wielders a variety of abilities, including the power to teleport people and objects from far away and generate an energy field that cancels technology and reverts it to an ancient version of itself. It could also be used to grant people powers as the Mandarin used it to create mystical masks that gave his Avatars their powers. ============================================================ Headsman's Axe Kind: item Page: Headsman's Axe Formal name: Headsman's Axe Type: Axe First appearance: Untold Tales of Spider-Man Vol 1 8 Created by: Kurt Busiek; Pat Olliffe Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Cody Twain Previous owners: Headsman History: The Headsman's axe was used to decapitate Deadpool. ============================================================ Hardliner Armor Kind: item Page: Hardliner Armor Formal name: Hardliner Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 118 Created by: Simon Furman; Pat Broderick Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology; Canadian Lead designer: Department H Current owner: Department H; Hardliners Previous owners: Hardliners Model: II Properties: The full capabilities of the armor isn't known.

History: When Doctor Doom discovered that the hidden country of Wakanda held important deposits of valuable Vibranium mineral, he decided to scout the area and find these. To do so, Doom immediately went to a secret laboratory within Castle Doom in Latveria where he built an electronic surveillance device. This device, while totally electronic, had the shape of a hawk and was indistinguishable from a real bird from a certain distance - in fact, from a protected species, so it would not be hindered by hunters. It was a mindless drone that Doom could control from a chamber, using a joystick to move it and buttons for special actions. A monitor provided a view of the hawk -not through its eyes.; The hawk scanner, being electronic, was immune to psyonic attacks and was more endurant that a common bird due to its metallic hull. It also had an energy-based bolt attack that was shot from its mouth at Doom's command. This bolt could obliterate an unprotected human. More importantly, it had transcontinental flight autonomy of up to 8046.72 kilometers and advanced sensors to trace whatever material Doom programmed it for - in this case, vibranium. Lastly, the hawk had a flamboyant self-destruct system to prevent it from falling in the wrong hands. Doom's construction process included moving the pieces together without physically touching them.; Doom quickly built the hawk and sent it to Latveria. It had an encounter: A poacher intended to shot it down, even if it supposedly was a protected species. Doom noticed that and used the bird's cannon to kill the poacher.; Doom's hawk scanner reached Wakanda and explored the country undetected, finding the vibranium deposits and broadcasting the data to Doom. Once Doom got all the information he needed, he activated the hawk's self-destruction. Doom never built a second hawk scanner, as far as is known. ============================================================ Gunny Bear Kind: item Page: Gunny Bear Formal name: Gunny Bear Type: Robot; Weapon; Technology First appearance: Punisher Vol 2 38 Created by: Mike Baron; Bill Reinhold Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Robot built by Microchip to defend his secret warehouse Lead designer: David Linus Lieberman Place of creation: Microchip warehouse, Manhattan, New York City, New York Place of destruction: Microchip warehouse, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: David Linus Lieberman ============================================================ Harvard Mark VI Kind: item Page: Harvard Mark VI Formal name: Mark VI Type: Technology First appearance: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol 2 19 Created by: Ryan North; Erica Henderson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Melissa Morbeck Additional designers: Tony Stark, Doctor Doom Current owner: Melissa Morbeck Model: VI Properties: Animal Control: The Mark VI's dish read Melissa Morbeck's thoughts while inside her house, and transmitted them directly into the minds of the animals that possessed a subcutaneous chip also created by Morbeck. It was made in part with technology reverse engineered from Tony Stark, namely his R.T. node, and Doctor Doom. History: The Mark VI was a room-sized supercomputer of Melissa Morbeck's own design, and a key component of the process which allowed her to control animals which had previously been implanted with Morbeck's microchips.; After showing her hostage Squirrel Girl the Mark VI, Morbeck revealed her latest achievement. Using stolen Pym Particles, she shrunk down the Mark VI to the size of an earpiece so it would no longer be burdensome, and then implanted it in her ear, thus preventing anybody from potentially commanding it and allowing her to take it with her, as the machine's previous state only let her control animals while she was inside her mansion. ============================================================ Harvard Mark II Kind: item Page: Harvard Mark II Formal name: Harvard Mark II Type: Technology First appearance: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol 2 19 Created by: Ryan North; Erica Henderson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Grace Hopper Model: II History: The Harvard Mark II was an early electromechanical computer.

The user's senses are enhanced so that, they can now see in total darkness, track any scent and hear an enemy's heartbeat.; Scientists who had studied the Heart-Shaped Herb came to this conclusion regarding its process:; "The poultice stimulated and accentuated the human being's kinaesthetic sense. The kinaesthetic sense is the subliminal perception that allows human beings to close their eyes, yet know where the different parts of their bodies are. If you didn't have this sense, you couldn't pick your nose or wash your hair if your eyes weren't open. The poultice, plus the stimuli of rigorous theological and physical training, heightened your kinaesthetic sense. It heightens the proprioceptive system processes the orientation sense to the brain and perceptions in your body. That is how you sense where a tree limb or a building edge is, know exactly where it is and never have a moment's doubt that your fingers will close about it. The sacred anointment poultice has a second effect on your muscles and ligaments, specifically on the joints where bones connect and swivel, mesh and respond. There are receptors in these joints called the Pacinian corpuscles that carry the signal to the brain to fulfil proper movement. Somehow the poultice is absorbed into those receptors and makes them especially sensitive. "This is what enables you to twist and dodge with unparalleled grace." Trivia: There also exists a Soul-Shaped Herb that can be ingested for spiritual journeys. History: ===Origins===; The Heart-Shaped Herb is a plant that only grows in the nation of Wakanda. In legend, it was said to have been a gift from the panther god, Bast, the local deity they worshiped, but in reality the plant had been mutated by a giant meteorite of Vibranium crashing into the Earth.; To become the Black Panther, the chieftain of Wakanda, a warrior must defeat the current Black Panther and fight six of Wakanda's greatest warriors simultaneously. After that, they must complete many other tasks to prove their worthiness. If they are successful and gain the role of leadership they have the juices of the Heart-Shaped Herb applied to their body. It is said that anyone not worthy or of noble blood would not survive the process.; The Heart-Shaped Herb had a dark counterpart in the form of the Skull-Shaped Herb. In opposition to Heart-Shaped one, the Skull-Shaped Herb when consumed transported the consumer to the shadowlands of the Ancestral Plane where the demon Nagiku resided. Doctor Doom managed to claim the Skull-Shaped Herb and kept it locked in his dungeons.; ===Synthetic Version===; When Erik Killmonger used the Heart-Shaped Herb his body reacted badly and poisoned him. After he barely recovered he used his scientific knowledge to create a synthetic version that, would grant anyone the powers of the Black Panther. He had later, allowed Kasper Cole to use the synthetic version to gain powers that, are similar to the Black Panther. ============================================================ Hiro's Battlesuit Kind: item Page: Hiro's Battlesuit Formal name: Hiro's Battlesuit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Sunfire and Big Hero Six Vol 1 1 Created by: Scott Lobdell; Gus Vazquez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Japanese Lead designer: Hiro Takachiho Current owner: Hiro Takachiho Alternate owners: Hiro Hamada (Earth-14123); Hiro Hamada (Earth-TRN1098); Hiro Hamada (Earth-TRN1671) Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Hiro's Battlesuit provides him protection from harm.

Vaughan; Marcos Martín Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; The Walther P-38 handgun owned and used by Adolf Hitler to commit suicide Lead designer: Nazi Party Place of creation: Germany Place of destruction: Manhattan, New York City, New York State Previous owners: Doctor Strange; Brigand; Hitler Dimensions: 8.5 in Weight: 1 lb 12 oz Model: Walther P-38 Trivia: Paradoxically, in Earth-616 history, Adolf Hitler commanded his underlings to spread the lie that he had committed suicide while he was being burned alive by the original Human Torch. This aligns with Marvel magic often working off common understanding rather than for scientific reasons. History: This Walther P-38 semi-automatic pistol was once owned by Adolf Hitler, and was the means of his suicide. The handgun itself absorbed an immense amount of negative energy, which imbued the gun with certain magical properties.; Brigand was able to near mortally wound Doctor Strange despite his protective mystic barriers. ============================================================ Hi-Lite Armor Kind: item Page: Hi-Lite Armor Formal name: Hi-Lite Armor Type: Armor First appearance: She-Hulk Vol 2 22 Created by: Peter David; Shawn Moll Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Rocky Davis Properties: The armor contains several light-based powers including:; Night-Vision Goggles; Laser-Based Weaponry; On-Board Lasers; Manipulation of Light Beams History: The armor belonged to Rocky Davis allowing him to become the supervillain Hi-Lite.

Place of creation: Silicon Valley, California Properties: The Hench app utilized a proprietary algorithm to match the best possible Hench contractor—based upon location, power set, and past confrontation history—to combat any hero in the database. Hench 2.0 included improved features, better response time, a new feedback system, and more options for customization. Hench X consisted of a program that allowed people to become a villain-for-hire. Trivia: Mark Russell later featured the Hench app in the DC Universe, being used by Sportsmaster. History: The Hench app was a software application invented by Power Broker, Inc. The Power Broker first promoted this app to Darren Cross to have him invest in it by having Whirlwind target Ant-Man. However, Cross was unwilling to give Power Broker the $1.2 billion he demanded for investment in the app. In return, Power Broker cancelled the demo and Whirlwind's attack on Ant-Man.; A publicist named Marlena Howard used the Hench app to hire Magician (the son of the original Magician) to pretend to have a grudge on Darla Deering. After Darren Cross refused to invest in Hench, Augustine Cross hired Machinesmith to hack into Power Broker Inc.'s databases so that Cross Technological Enterprises could steal his algorithm, and use it to create a Hench app knock-off called Lackey.; Slug later used the Hench app to hire the second Hijacker to steal a Giganto egg from a S.H.I.E.L.D. cargo ship. Upon discovering what Augustine Cross had done, an enraged Power Broker ordered his workers to hasten the premature release of Hench 2.0.; To help guard the big release announcement of Hench 2.0, Power Broker hired a female Blacklash to guard the event. Not long afterwards, the Power Broker also unveiled the new Hench X, a new program that allowed anybody to become a villain-for-hire. He tested it on a former comic book store clerk named Paul who became the second Plantman. All versions of the Hench app eventually came to a close when the Power Broker ran out of funds. ============================================================ Heartstar Kind: item Page: Heartstar Formal name: Messianic Sidda-Complex Other aliases: Heartstar Type: Stone First appearance: Nextwave Vol 1 4 Created by: Warren Ellis; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Spa-fon and Squa-tront Current owner: The Captain Previous owners: Obsidian Star Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: Heartstar: The User possesses what are, by his description, a "generic set of special superhero abilities" as a result of possessing the Heartstar.; Superhuman Strength: The User is so absurdly strong that he once smacked someone's spine out through their lungs just by patting them on the back; Superhuman Stamina: The User 's augmented musculature generates less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. While the full limits of his stamina aren't known, he can at least exert himself at peak capacity for several hours without tiring.; Superhuman Durability: The User has augmented bodily tissues, making them much more resistant to physical injury than the tissues of a normal human. He can withstand high caliber bullets, falls from great heights, powerful energy blasts, and great impact forces without sustaining injury.; Superhuman Sight: The User's sight has been augmented by the Heartstar, allowing him to see much further and with greater clarity than an ordinary human.; Flight: The User is able to propel himself through the air for extended periods of time. The maximum speed he can reach while in flight isn't exactly known, but it is known to be significantly lower than the Speed of Sound. History: ===Origin===; The Heartstar was created by two advanced aliens known as Spa-fon and Squa-tront. It was known as the "Messianic Sidda-Complex," the "Heartstar of the space between galaxies.; ===The Captain===; The alien pair came to Earth in hopes of bestowing upon someone the "Messianic Siddha-complex" so that they could "rescue their fellows from this terrible environment." After nearly giving up the search, they came upon the person who would come to be called "The Captain" drunkenly singing down the road. When they empowered him, he proceeded to beat them to death as he thought that Leprechauns turned into gold coins when you hit them. Following their death the Captain then tried to steal their wallets but ended up throwing up on them instead. ============================================================ Hologram Projector Kind: item Page: Hologram Projector Formal name: Hologram Projector Type: Technology First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 333 Created by: Larry Hama; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: The book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 mistakenly lists this item's first appearance in Avengers Vol 1 332, but it was really in Avengers Vol 1 333 - unless we consider previous hologram projectors created by Doom such as the one in Astonishing Tales Vol 1 1 and Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 5 or the one used by Doom's Scanbot in Fantastic Four vs. the X-Men #2.; The nature of the Hologram Projector is quite different from Doom's Image Projector: The Hologram Projector can reproduce anything Doom thinks of, while the Image Projector can only reproduce Doom. However, the Image Projector provides a Doom that can attack enemies, while the Hologram Projector does not. Besides, the Hologram Projector cannot be incorporated seamlessly in Doom's Armor. History: Doctor Doom developed this device, made up of two different parts: A transmitter no bigger than a button, that was used as a camera, and a portable projector that could be held and manipulated with a single hand. When the projector activated, it broadcasted a holographic image of whatever images were being seen at the transmitter's location, in real time. A single projector could provide images of up to three transmitters at the same time, and some projectors could also send the sound at the transmitter's location - and vice versa, thus favoring teleconferences. Some models of transmitters had a limited range while others allowed for long-range communication without revealing the position of the transmitter.; Doctor Doom used one spherical projector to give an ultimatum to King Vladimir just before deposing him. Years later, he started outfitting his minions and robots, including Doombots, with these devices to monitor their activities. When Prince Rudolfo raided Castle Doom in an attempted coup, he and his men found themselves apparently surrounded by several Doctor Dooms. Most of them were simply shimmering holograms to confuse the attackers, but the last one was not even Doom himself, but an armed Doombot. Although Rudolfo destroyed the Doombot, he was defeated at that point, prey to Doom's Hypno-Probe.; Doom later sent a Doombot to the Avengers Mansion with a projector, and two other minions with transmitters, so that the Doombots could explain Doom's scheme properly to the Avengers.; A holographic Doom also entered Spectorcorp's offices to demand a meeting with their CEO Marc Spector. A security guard noticed that Doom projected no shadow and correctly identified him as a hologram, prompting him to vanish, but Spector was contacted nonetheless. Marc Spector -secretly the superhero Moon Knight- later infiltrated Doom's Latverian Consulate and used Doom's holo-technology to project an illusory image on himself, impersonating Mr. Fantastic for a short time. Doom soon understood he was in front of a hologram of his (Doom's) own design, which was hiding someone different than Mr. Fantastic. ============================================================ Heat-Seeking Drone Fighter Planes Kind: item Page: Heat-Seeking Drone Fighter Planes Formal name: Heat-Seeking Drone Fighter Planes Type: Drone First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 10 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Bob Hall Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: These pilot-less airplanes were developed and built by Doctor Doom to protect Castle Doom, his headquarters at Latveria. They could only be activated using a specific "Doom-code" known only to Doom himself. The vehicles were quite maneuverable and a threat to any pilot.; At one point, the Red Skull took over Castle Doom and gained control of many of Doom's machines, succeeding at breaking the code for the Heat-Seeking Drone Fighter Planes. Doctor Doom and his reluctant ally Captain America flew from New York City to Castle Doom to confront the Skull. The Skull sent the Fighter Planes to intercept them. However, Doom proved to be an excellent pilot dodging them, while the Captain, a WWII veteran, had experience as a gunner and shot down all the Planes. The Skull was forced to resort to a different machine to confront them: The Rainbow Missile. ============================================================ Hell-Mark Kind: item Page: Hell-Mark Formal name: Hell-Mark Other aliases: Hell Mark; Hellmark; Devil's Mark; Darksoul Type: Mark First appearance: Marvel Spotlight Vol 1 12 Created by: Gary Friedrich; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Demonic Lead designer: Hell Lords Additional designers: Mephisto; Marduk Kurios Place of creation: Hell Current owner: Andi Benton; Daimon Hellstrom Previous owners: Flash Thompson; Mania Symbiote; Laura Kinney; Thunderbolt Ross; Venom Symbiote; Carnage Dimensions: Variable Weight: None History: The Hell-Mark is a demonic sigil in the shape of a pentagram surrounded by a circle, bestowed upon those who have the potential to become a Hell Lord, either through birthright or by being chosen by an existing Hell Lord. The Hell-Mark grants its bearer control over lesser demons and the ability to conjure hellfire, but corrupts their soul over time.; Daimon Hellstrom's Hell-Mark is a manifestation of his Darksoul, and marks him as the son of the Hell-Lord Marduk Kurios. In preparation for the Descent, an event in which one of the existing Hell-Lords would be chosen to become the next Satan, Mephisto surreptitiously bestowed Agent Venom, Red Hulk, and X-23 with Hell-Marks upon resurrecting them, branding them as possible candidates to replace him. The Venom Symbiote, despite having been the one who bargained for the Hell-Mark, passed the sigil on to its clone Mania in order to protect its host from the demon that Hellstrom had implanted in them. Eventually the Hell-Mark passed on to the symbiote's host, Andi Benton, resonating with her rage. Andi was corrupted by the Hell-Mark and summoned an army of demons in an attempt to kill her one-time mentor and claim both the Mania and Venom symbiotes for herself. Andi retained the Hell-Mark after being robbed of her symbiote by Lee Price; using it to transform into a demon when attacked by Carnage. After bonding to the Scream symbiote, Andi occasionally used the Hell-Mark in conjunction with it; though she was forced to use it to kill the Scream symbiote when it was corrupted by Carnage.; ==Powers==; Hell-Lord Candidacy: The bearer of the Hell-Mark is marked as a candidate for becoming a Hell Lord, and possessing them is strictly forbidden by the laws of Hell.; Demon Summoning: The bearer of the Hell-Mark can summon and control demons.; Demonic Augmentation: The bearer of the Hell-Mark can use it to conjure demonic weapons and armor, as well as transform into a demon.; Hellfire Conjuration: The bearer of the Hell-Mark can conjure hellfire powerful enough to injure the King in Black.; Fire Immunity: The bearer of the Hell-Mark is immune to flames and can pass this immunity on to symbiotes bonded to them.; } ============================================================ Holy Grail Kind: item Page: Holy Grail Formal name: Holy Grail Other aliases: Graal; San Greal Type: Artifact First appearance: Knights of Pendragon Vol 1 7 Created by: Dan Abnett; John Tomlinson; Gary Erskine; Kevin Hopgood Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Biblical; Arthurian; Otherworld Lead designer: Jesus Christ Place of creation: Jerusalem, Judea Current owner: Lady of the Lake Previous owners: Baroness Blood; Jesus Christ, Joseph of Arimathea Properties: Immortality Granting: Those who drink from the Holy Grail are granted immortality.

It was originally kept at Glastonbury Tor in Britain. Most of the knights returned badly wounded, or worse. It was said the grail was guarded by the Lady of the Lake.; ===16th century===; In 1566 the Church was taken over by a cult of Vampires who where searching for the Holy Grail. The town folks burned the church to the ground killing many of the vampires.; ===Modern Era===; Ben Gallagher was a writer obsessed with the legend of the Holy Grail. He became involved with the ongoing war between the Green Knight and the forces of the Bane, and was granted the Pendragon spirit which had once belonged to Sir Percival, which gave him superhuman powers. Ben, alongside his lover Kate McClellan, was one of the Knights of Pendragon who was involved in the final battle with the Bane. He was killed, then resurrected, but ultimately gave up his life to save the life of Union Jack.; When the industrial entities known as the Manchester Gods materialized in Otherworld and began assimilating the landscape, the Asgardian trickster god Loki was sent to Otherworld by the Asgardian All-Mother to assist in the efforts against the Manchester Gods. While there, Loki requested that Niamh show him the Holy Grail that she protected, as the Asgardian death goddess Hela required its magic waters to heal the wounds inflicted upon her by the Dísir; however, the skeptical Niamh denied Loki's request. Loki eventually became sympathetic to the cause of the Manchester Gods and detonated several symbolic locations which empowered the traditional gods and lords of Otherworld, causing the battle to shift in favor of the Manchester Gods, at which time they pressured their enemies into signing a treaty under terms favorable to them. In return for Loki's assistance in the Manchester Gods' victory, their representative Master Wilson distracted Niamh with masses of paperwork so that Loki could sneak Hela to the Holy Grail and heal her wounds. ============================================================ Helmet of Razadazar Kind: item Page: Helmet of Razadazar Formal name: Helmet of Razadazar Type: Helmet First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 4 8 Created by: Jason Aaron; Chris Bachalo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange Model: Unique Version: Original History: The Helmet of Razadazar was found in Istanbul by Doctor Strange.

History: The Heart of the Voldi, as it became known, was one of the many components of the Godkiller Armor created by the Aspirants. After the Aspirants used the Godkiller to annihilate the Celestials, the Godkiller was stripped to provide the Aspirants' fleets with key elements. However, the Aspirants entered a civil war, giving the Celestials time to recover and crush them.; The Rigellian Recorder 451 learned of the existence of the Godkiller and intended to use it was a nucelar deterrent for Earth. He spent hundred of years locating the required precursor components to reactivate it, including a pience that ended up in possession of the alien race Voldi, becoming known as the Heart of the Voldi. The Voldi used the Heart to cloak themselves from the cosmic beings from whom they leeched energy to power the Voldi Tear, their artificial homeplanet.; In the present, Recorder 451 drew Iron Man to the Voldi Tear to use his presence as a diversion, since he was considered a deicide for taking part in an attempt to destroy the Phoenix Force, one of the beings the Voldi drew power from and worshipped. After Stark was arrested, 451 approached him and suggested he demanded a trial-by-combat which would serve as a distraction while the robot retrieve his Iron Man Armor to escape. However, in addition of sending out Stark's armor to him, 451 also stole the Heart of the Voldi, leaving the Voldi exposed. Shortly after Iron Man had fled from the Voldi Tear, the Celestials arrived, having become aware of the Voldi's existence, and annihilated them.; After capturing Iron Man, 451 took him and the Heart of the Voldi to the Dyson sphere where the Godkiller Armor was being stored. He placed back the Heart of the Voldi in the Godkiller, and reactivated it. Following 451's suicide, the Godkiller Armor was phased out of reality, with the Heart of the Voldi still inside. ============================================================ Heart Stone Kind: item Page: Heart Stone Formal name: Heart Stone Other aliases: Heartstone Type: Stone; Jewel First appearance: Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 67 Created by: David Quinn; Mark Tenney Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Dark Dimension Current owner: Clea History: It automatically transports the wearer in the Dark Dimension when it changes color from white to black. ============================================================ Holo-Sword (Earth-415) Kind: item Page: Holo-Sword Formal name: Holo-Sword Type: Sword First appearance: Marvel Future Fight: An Eye on the Future Vol 1 1 Created by: Marc Sumerak; Andrea Di Vito Reality: Earth-415 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: S.H.I.E.L.D.

A weapon that ionized the planet's atmosphere and triggered massive lightning strikes. The weapon's scalar generator injected wave energy into the upper atmosphere which resulted in small-scale auroral ionization. Scalar power was then multiplied by a factor of ten thousand and more. The atmosphere was charged toward critical release, after which it returned the amplified energy back to the ground. The result was a cataclysmic explosion and firestorm, that annihilated buildings and incinerated people. ============================================================ Hell-Flowers Kind: item Page: Hell-Flowers Formal name: Hell-Flowers Type: Plant First appearance: Namor: The First Mutant Vol 1 8 Created by: Stuart Moore; Carlos Rodriguez Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Hell ============================================================ Helios Laser Kind: item Page: Helios Laser Formal name: Helios Laser Other aliases: Code: Helios Type: Laser First appearance: Immortal Hulk Vol 1 7 Created by: Al Ewing; Joe Bennett Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: The Helios Laser is a one-off weapon capable of firing a powerful beam of energy with the destructive power to reduce an entire town to a crater.

History: The Heart of the Serpent was an Atlantean substance that permanently bonds to whoever ingests it and makes them resistant to magic. If ingested by a magic user, it severs their ties to magic and makes them unable to practice it anymore. The Heart of the Serpent was liquid in its original and purest form, but it had been solidified into a pearl. It was guarded in an underwater coliseum in the ruins of a city at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and it was protected by two gigantic eels.; When Captain Marvel sought the help of Amora the Enchantress to learn magic and protect herself from the Enchantress' future son Ove, the sorceress opted to make her resistant to it instead, and guided her to the location of the Heart of the Serpent. Since a magic barrier prevented magic users from entering the coliseum, Captain Marvel ventured alone and secured the pearl after killing its protectors. When leaving, Carol attempted to pass through the magic barrier with the hand she was holding the pearl with first. The barrier prevented her from crossing, causing the Heart of the Serpent to fall to the other side and away from her reach.; Amora recovered the Heart of the Serpent and returned to her home, where Captain Marvel returned her after escaping the coliseum. Explaining the nature of the Heart of the Serpent to Captain Marvel, Amora used a spell to liquify it and placed it in a flask. Amora turned against Captain Marvel after learning her true intentions, to kill Ove, and contacted him. During a subsequent fight between Ove and Captain Marvel, Ove noticed the hero attempting to reach the flask. Assuming its content to be some kind of time-travelling potion, Ove drank the flask to taunt Carol and was surprised to find himself unable to access his magic powers. ============================================================ Hela's Horn of Reckoning Kind: item Page: Hela's Horn of Reckoning Formal name: Hela's Horn of Reckoning Type: Horn First appearance: Thunderbolts Annual Vol 2 1 Created by: Ben Acker; Ben Blacker; Matteo Lolli Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Valkyrie History: Hela's Horn of Reckoning was a horn used by Valkyrie against the True Faeries. ============================================================ Hellnir Kind: item Page: Hellnir Formal name: Hellnir Other aliases: The Devil's Hammer Type: Hammer First appearance: Thor Vol 6 27 Created by: Al Ewing; Donny Cates; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Demonic Lead designer: Bedlam's Child Place of creation: Asgard Previous owners: Bedlam's Child; Darkoth (Desmond Pitt); Meridius (Eddie Brock); Serpent (Donald Blake); Thor Material: Promethium Dimensions: It has an oblong head about a foot long and a handle of equal length, with a spike on top. Properties: Hellnir was crafted from Promethium, a demonic metal from the dark dimension of Limbo. Made in emulation of Mjolnir, it possesses similar properties. Meridius implied that Hellnir possesses a worthiness enchantment, though he did not specify what traits would make him worthy.; After being acquired by the Serpent, Hellnir was twinned through time and space with Mjolnir, becoming its dark opposite.; Hellfire Blast: Hellnir is able to fire bolts of hellfire powerful enough to injure and stun Thor, who possessed the full might of the Power of the All-Father.; Weather Manipulation: After being twinned with Mjolnir by the Serpent, Hellnir became able to control and create storms. According to Blake, those storms can't be commanded by Thor.; Lightning Generation: Hellnir can fire and direct a dark lightning to strike. History: Hellnir was a demonic hammer created by the nascent King in Black known as Bedlam's Child in emulation of Thor's Mjolnir. Formed from the Promethium bonded to Darkoth's skeleton, it was almost completely identical to its template in appearance and function, but was capable of unleashing bolts of hellfire instead of divine lightning.; Simply by imitating Thor, Bedlam's Child was able to bring the All-Father of Asgard to his knees and damage Mjolnir enough to make it bleed, forcing Thor to bond to the King in Black he believed to be Eddie Brock to even the odds. Once Bedlam's Child escaped by projecting its mind through time, "Eddie" claimed Hellnir for himself and was deemed worthy. Already suspicious, Thor confronted Eddie, who revealed himself as Meridius -- an evil future variant of Eddie who was using time-travel to ensure that the timeline from which he originated was the default future of Earth-616.; Meridius declared his intent to assimilate Hellnir into himself to grow more powerful, but Thor fired a point-blank Godblast at Meridius, forcing him to retreat through time. Hellnir melted into the symbiote ooze left behind by Meridius and Bedlam's Child, which oozed through cracks in Asgard's bedrock into the torture chamber of Donald Blake. Dripping into his eyes, the Promethium-augmented symbiote bonded to Blake and transformed him into the Serpent.; Blake gained the ability to create and summon Hellnir, and through his power, he made it a true reflection and dark opposite of Mjolnir, twinning them through time and space. After Thor's quest and battle with the Utgard-Gods reached its climax, he was killed by Loki and his soul went to Vidbláinn. Blake met Thor's spirit and used Hellnir to attack him. Learning about the connection between Hellnir and Mjolnir, Thor snatched it from Blake, hitting the ground as he used to do to switch places with him, stealing Blake's soul to resurrect while Hellnir ended as a cane wielded by a statue of Thor's spirit.; Clear ============================================================ Henry Pym's Adjustable Gas Mask Kind: item Page: Henry Pym's Adjustable Gas Mask Formal name: Henry Pym's Adjustable Gas Mask Type: Gas Mask First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 40 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Henry Pym (Earth-616) Place of creation: Pym Laboratories Current owner: Henry Pym (Earth-616) Material: Unstable Molecules History: Henry Pym's Adjustable Gas Mask was a gas mask made of unstable molecules invented by Henry Pym for the U.S. Army.

Person holding the Heart could increase their powers. Notes: Ororo owned several similar gems at various periods of her life: Trivia: Candra mentioned a mortal one gained possession of the Heart, "nearly a millennium" ago. However, according to Apocalypse it was created in the 12th century CE nearly a millennium ago. History: This ruby-like crystal was created by Candra, one of the immortal Externals who could be killed only if their heart and its energy absorbed or their live force drained by a fellow External. When some of the others formed the High Lords, they came to her to join them. But declined to join, preferring not to share her power and play the "power broker" alone. Fearing their wrath, she came up with a plan to protect herself by transferring her heart-essence into the gem. However, according to Apocalypse, the gem was created in the 12th century CE when she summoned the other Externals to help her in the ritual to containing her life force.; Nearly a thousand years ago, a mortal once gained possession of her heartgem. The details of what happened are known, but the incident cost her dearly those many years ago.; At some point she placed the Heart in her estate in Kasime, Egypt, under heavy guards. It remained there until few decades ago a young thief Ororo Munroe breached into estate and stole the Heart. A trap set under it was triggered and entire building exploded, killing everyone in it, but Ororo managed to escape. She returned to her teacher Achmed El Gibár to proudly show-off, but was scolded instead. Achmed knew about the Heart's power and decided to hide it. Few years later, when Ororo decided to leave his street urchins, Achmed gave the Heart back to her and Ororo kept it safely for many years.; Years later Candra convinced another disciple of Achmed El Gibár, Jamil, to join her side. Accidently, from him she learned who stole the Heart. She used another street urchin, Karima, as a hostage to force Ororo to return the Heart, but during their fight Jamil betrayed Candra and stole the Heart for himself. Ororo's teammates, the X-Men soon joined the battle and Cyclops destroyed the Heart and Candra seemingly died with it. However, Candra soon reappeared, and so did the Heart, years later.; When the nation of Krakoa was established, Candra felt that Apocalypse could betray the Externals, so, just in case, she transferred all of her powers and soul into the Heart and hid it in the Otherworld, in Opal Luna Saturnyne's Starlight Citadel, knowing what Opal hated Apocalypse and would never give the Heart to him. Her predictions turned true, when Apocalypse killed Candra and three other External in order to create the External Gate. The Heart was discovered by Gambit and Candra's spirit tried to convince him to keep it safe, but he instead threw it through a gate Apocalypse opened. When it made contact with her body, Apocalypse received the remaining energy he needed to complete the Gate. ============================================================ Hobgoblin's Flaming Sword Kind: item Page: Hobgoblin's Flaming Sword Other aliases: Hobgoblin's Flaming Sword Type: Sword First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 649 Created by: Dan Slott; Humberto Ramos Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Norman Osborn Additional designers: Phineas Mason Place of creation: New York City, New York Current owner: Roderick Kingsley Previous owners: Phil Urich; Daniel Kingsley Alternate owners: Harry Osborn (Earth-17628) Properties: The flaming sword is a high-energy plasma construct.

To achieve his goal, B'kai joined Odysseus' army in the Trojan War. After ten years, the war finally ended in favor of the Greek thanks to the Trojan Horse, and B'kai was able to take the pendant from Helen. He returned it to Wakanda afterwards..; In 1400 AD, the pendant was still stored in Wakanda's artifact vault. ============================================================ Holcate Illusion of the Fears Kind: item Page: Holcate Illusion of the Fears Formal name: Holcate Illusion of the Fears Type: Spell First appearance: New Avengers Vol 2 9 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Mike Deodato Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange Previous owners: Agamotto Properties: The Holcate Illusion of the Fears is regarded as an advanced form of illusion magic, requiring exceptional focus, deep mystical knowledge, and an understanding of mortal fear in order to sustain a stable and believable projection.

The Hel-Crown grants total control over Hel, allowing its wielder to modify its laws and even sunder a part of the realm to create a new form of afterlife. Likewise, it allows control of the Draugr, the army of Hel. Seemingly, the wielder of the Hel-Crown needs to officially sit the Hel-Throne to use the crown's full potential, as Hela despite having her crown, was weakened without her throne.; Hela used the power of the Hel-Crown to hide the decaying half of her body. When Thor was empowered by it, he was able to create a hammer of frozen blood hard as iron, and his thunder was able to shake the World Tree from root to branch. Trivia: During Hela's time as the Queen in Black, the Hel-Crown took an appearance similar to Meridius' horned head which was shaped like a spider. History: After her coming of age, Odin decreed that Hela would become the Goddess of Death, ruling over Hel. Originally, the Hel-Crown was attached to a cloak while worn by Hela. During a conflict with Thor and the Warriors Three, the God of Thunder challenged Hela to a combat. Thor managed to tear Hela's cloak along with the Hel-Crown, rendering her powerless.; After the final Ragnarök, the Hel-Crown remained with Hela after being awakened by Thor from her mortal guise, despite being unable to reach Niffleheim’s true Hel. After the cycles of Ragnarök ended, an Asgardian's only destiny was Hela's halls. During the Siege of Asgard numerous Asgardians died and their spirits remained wandering Midgard because Hela had no Hel. Due the threat of the Disir, Hela was able to create a new Hel thanks to Loki broking a deal with Mephisto, allowing her to rule part of Mephisto's Realm from the Peninsula of Perfidy to the Gully of Hubris for one-thousand-and-one years. The Hel-Crown served the same function in this new Hel.; During an encounter with Thor and X-Factor Investigations, Darwin managed to adapt to Hela's killing touch, being able to match her powers and rip off her cloak and Hel-Crown. During the attack of the Disir to the new Hel, Hela constantly used the power of the Hel-Crown.; Eventually, Hela returned to the real Hel with all the dead Asgardians that were in the Hel of Mephisto's Realm. When Angela ventured to Hel to find her lover, she passed three trials required to get the power needed to defeat Hela in her own domain. Angela was able to overpower and overthrow Hela, taking the Hel-Crown and becoming the new Queen of Hel. Angela used the power of the Hel-Crown to lift Freyja's curse upon the Angels of Heven, as well as giving them a new afterlife. After this, Angela abdicated the throne, with Balder taking the place, as King of Hel with a Hel-Crown of his own. Hela kept her original Hel-Crown during her exile of Hel, abeit weakened without her throne.; During the War of the Realms, Niffleheim and Hel were attacked by the ruler of Muspelheim, Sindr, the Queen of Cinders, who brought Hela as a prisoner. During the ensuing conflict against Sindr and her forces, Balder briefly lost his Hel-Crown after being bested by Gar-Toom, while Sindr attacked Hela, knocking off her Hel-Crown. Thor took and wore the crown, being empowered by it as King of Hel and the God of the Deathstorm, defeating Sindr and making her retreat. Hela recovered her Hel-Crown from Thor and ended up marrying Karnilla, who took Balder's Hel-Crown, both becoming the Queens of Hel. ============================================================ Heat-Frame Kind: item Page: Heat-Frame Formal name: Heat-Frame Type: Suit First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 147 Created by: Gerry Conway; Rich Buckler Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Reed Richards Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City Current owner: Human Torch (Johnny Storm) Properties: The Heat-Frame was a device used by the Human Torch to allow him to maintain his powers while submerged underwater. History: During the Fantastic Four's mission to locate Namor in the South Atlantic Ocean, Johnny Storm wore a Heat-Frame in addition to taking an Oxy-Pill. The device enabled him to ignite his body beneath the surface, where the surrounding water otherwise made it difficult for him to manage his flame.; Johnny used the Heat-Frame while attacking Namor's underwater fortress, although he still experienced difficulty controlling his flame while fighting underwater. ============================================================ Horn of Proteus Kind: item Page: Horn of Proteus Formal name: Horn of Proteus Other aliases: Trumpet of Proteus; Trumpet of Glaucus Type: Horn First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 4 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Origin: Atlantean; Magical Previous owners: Sub-Mariner; Atlantean Warlord Seth Model: Unique Notes: The exact relation of the Horn to the Greek deities Proteus and Glaucus remains unknown so far. Trivia: Similar devices: Horn of Gabriel History: The origin of the Horn is unclear, but it may have been a gift from Neptune to Atlantis during his time living among them.; The Sub-Mariner used the horn to summon a Giganto to attack the surface world. It was lost at sea during battle with the Fantastic Four.; It was found again by the Atlantean warlord Seth, who used the horn to summon several undersea creatures to attack the US Navy. When the creatures began attacking New York uncontrollably, Seth used the Horn again to lead the creatures out to sea, where he, the creatures and the horn were buried in an undersea earthquake.; Years later, it was found on the seabed by the X-Terminators. Not knowing what they had found, X-Terminators member Boom Boom blew into it, accidentally summoning a giant octopus. This creature was defeated by the combined might of the X-Terminators, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and the New Mutants. After this battle, Namor would return to Atlantis and take the horn with him. ============================================================ Hoverchair Kind: item Page: Hoverchair Formal name: Hoverchair Type: Technology First appearance: Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 167 Created by: Chris Claremont; Paul Smith Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Forge Additional designers: Professor Charles Xavier Current owner: Wiz Kid Previous owners: Professor X Alternate owners: Sabretooth; Cable Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Designed by Forge, the hoverchair served many of Professor Charles Xavier's needs, transportation being only one factor in its number of amenities. After defeating the alien, Lucifer, Lucifer dropped a huge stone block on Xavier, crippling his legs in retaliation. Charles was dependent on a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Ironically, Professor Xavier regained his ability to walk, after Dr. Moira MacTaggert and the X-Men's space-faring allies, the Starjammers, saved him by transferring his mind into a newly cloned, somewhat younger, body. After an extended sojourn through space with the Starjammers, Professor Xavier returned to Earth and both the original and third teams of X-Men reassembled under his leadership. The Professor was injured again, this time on the Astral Plane while battling the Shadow King to release control of his son, Legion, and crippled again. This time, Prof. Xavier asked Forge, a mutant with an unusual talent for inventing mechanical devices, to upgrade his chair and incorporate Shi'ar technology.; Due to Forge's tech-savvy abilities, the chair was first designed with comfort in mind. Its capability of levitation allowed Professor Xavier to negotiate any surface with relative ease. The chair had also been noted for not being strictly exclusive to hovering above the ground, once exhibiting the capacity to float several yards above the surface. On either side of the armrests were panels to an intricately integrated terminal directly networked with Cerebro, the Blackbird (later re-dubbed the X-Jet), a multitude of communications, and all other technologies developed by X-Corp. Professor Xavier never used the chair in public, so as to not alert the public of his technology and connection to the X-Men.; Professor X later abandoned his hoverchair for a less advanced wheelchair. However, his bulky hoverchair still became an icon in Krakoan mutant culture, and the design was imitated in S.W.O.R.D. engineer Wiz Kid's own chair. ============================================================ Humanoids Kind: item Page: Humanoids Formal name: Humanoids Type: Robot First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 63 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Leader Current owner: Leader; Dr. Alba Previous owners: Prodigy History: The Humanoids were an army of synthetic androids created by the Leader to fight the Hulk, after the success of a first prototype. They managed to capture the Hulk after several attempts.; Humanoids were also utilized by Prodigy during Gamma Corps' encounter with the Hulk during World War Hulk.; ==Capabilities==; The machines' main special characteristic is that they are made up of a spongy plastic material. This material is flexible and extremely resistant to blunt force, which makes even the Hulk's punches almost useless against them. Usually deployed in large numbers and programmed to fight as a team, they can recover quickly no matter how hard they are hit and relentlessly continue a fight until the opponent is tired and overwhelmed, unless they are defeated by other means. They're programmed to change or alter their size to be easy carry in pill form, or can commingle with one another to grow monolithic in scale. They can emit gaseous vapors potent enough to knockout the likes of The Hulk himself. They're physically dexterous enough to match blows with the jade giant for a time, a few of which; having been recently modified, can resist the cutting bite of Adamantium.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Earth-12041===; The Humanoids were an army of synthetic androids created by the Leader to fight the Avengers.; clear; ===Earth-20051===; The Leader deployed his Humanoids as he attempted to take over the world by attacking the United Nations Headquarters, but his scheme was thwarted by the Hulk.; clear; ===Earth-TRN566===; The Humanoids were deployed by the Leader during a confrontation with the Hulk and the X-Men as he tried to capture the Hulk. ============================================================ Hope Serum Kind: item Page: Hope Serum Formal name: Hope Serum Other aliases: The Cure,; Mutant Cure,; Cure Mark II; Benetech Cure,; Mutant Antibody,; Benetech Lab's Mutant Vaccine,; X-Gene Suppressor Type: Drug First appearance: Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 1 Created by: Joss Whedon Reality: Earth-616; Earth-1610; Earth-41578; Earth-11326 Lead designer: Dr. Kavita Rao; ----; Dr. Amara Perera Additional designers: Ord; Dr. Hank McCoy Place of creation: BeneTech Laboratories Current owner: Beast Previous owners: Dr. Kavita Rao; Ord Trivia: Beast has the only remaining vial of Hope Serum.; Dr. Kavita Rao once carried the formula to the Hope Serum written on her bracelet. However, she purposely disposed of it in the San Francisco Bay. History: ===The Hope Serum===; After coming close to successfully developing a cure for the Legacy Virus; Dr. Kavita Rao, one of the world's leading geneticists, was approached by Ord from the Breakworld with new research. Approaching mutancy and the X-Gene as a disease, Dr. Rao began her work on a mutant cure with the understanding that no one would be hurt and that this cure would help mankind.; Dr. Rao eventually developed a successful gene therapy, using the Legacy Virus cure present within a revived Colossus. The research methods and tests subjects used were not fully disclosed, but tests were performed on dead mutants' bodies. The cure, named "Hope", comes in a liquid form for intramuscular injection. A single use or injection provides permanent effects. The cure appears to suppress any effects of the X-Gene. However, it's not clear if the Hope eliminates the X-Gene, blocks the production of Mutant Growth Hormone or how the cure would effect a mutant with a physical mutation (i.e. Nightcrawler or Rockslide).; The first publicly announced user of Hope was Tildie Soames, a young girl whose mutation to manifest her own nightmares resulted in the deaths of her parents and a local police officer.; To send a message to the X-Men, Ord broke into the Xavier Institute and injected the student Eddie Tancredi (Wing) with a dose of Hope to "cure" him.; ===Mark II===; During their summer break from the Xavier Institute, the Hellions Squad came in contact with a man calling himself the Kingmaker. He offered to make their "dream come true" today in exchange for an undefined favor in the future.; Wither, a mutant with the ability to decay organic material, wanted to be able to "turn off" his powers. To solve this issue, the Kingmaker acquired an experimental sample of Benetech's Cure Mark II. This version of Hope has temporary effects and is in capsule form to be taken twice daily by mouth. It is not revealed if this new version of Hope was ever released to the general population.; ===Second Coming===; During the months leading up to the return of Hope Summers; Bastion and the Human Council erected large beacons around the Bay Area to create an energy dome to cut off the X-Men from escape or help. Not knowing the true nature of these beacons, Cyclops sent the X-Club to investigate.; Once the X-Club arrived on the oil rig, Bastion activated a hologram projection of a dystopic future where Hope Summers (now Hub) had inadvertently enslaved mutantkind. In the holographic deception, a depowered Beast convinced Dr. Rao to produce one last vial of the Hope Serum to rob Hope of her powers. Realizing it was a trap, Dr. Rao instead created a pyrovirus. This revealed Bastion's plans, and the X-Club was able to escape. Rao then let the formula, coded in her bracelet, fall in San Francisco Bay.; Dr. Amara Perera, a Sri Lankan biophysicist had come up with a cure for the mutant gene, but hasn't even dared to create it due to the political and sociological aftermaths that would surely occur if she did.; ==Known Users==; Tildie Soames; Wing (Eddie Tancredi); Wither (Kevin Ford) ============================================================ Horn of Galactus Kind: item Page: Horn of Galactus Formal name: Horn of Galactus Other aliases: Gabriel's Horn; Trumpet of Gabriel Type: Horn First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 120 Created by: Stan Lee; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by Galan (Earth-616) Lead designer: Galactus Previous owners: Air-Walker; Air-Walker (Automaton) Dimensions: Variable (it can be willed to shrink or grow by the user) Model: Unique History: A golden trumpet-like device that could summon Galactus across any distance, by sending a hyperspace signal. ============================================================ Horn of Heaven Kind: item Page: Horn of Heaven Formal name: Horn of Heaven Type: Horn; Sonic Weapon First appearance: Rom Vol 1 25 Created by: Steven Grant; Greg LaRocque Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Galadorian Place of creation: Galador Current owner: Angel Elite History: The Horn of Heaven was a weapon designed for and used by the Angel Elite of Galador.

Constructed by the scientists at Gamma Base, the first Hulk Robot was actually just a non-functioning facsimile of the Hulk used only to test the effective value of General Ross' "Iceberg Rocket".; A later model could be operated via a remote harness system worn by an individual from a safe location. During a period when Bruce Banner was cured of his gamma-radiated condition, he donned the harness and used the Hulk Robot to battle the Leader, who had taken control of Gamma Base and all of its personnel. The robot fought the Leader, who had assumed control of the Murder Module, but was ultimately destroyed by the enraged Leader when he found out that "the Hulk" was a mere robot and not his arch-enemy. When the robot was destroyed, an electrical charge from the Module's death-ray that was shot into it by the Leader was channeled back into the harness, and the resulting feedback nearly killed Banner.; Another version of the military's Hulk Robot came into the possession of the stage magician Kropotkin the Great during one of his frequent visits to Gamma Base. Though it has been years since Kropotkin has had any dealings with either the Hulk or the former residents of Gamma Base, he still owns the robot. ============================================================ Hulkbuster Armor MK I (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Hulkbuster Armor MK I (Earth-1610) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Ultimate New Ultimates Vol 1 5 Created by: Jeph Loeb; Frank Cho Reality: Earth-1610 Origin: Created to counter the Hulk Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 History: This armor was created by Tony Stark with the purpose of fighting the Hulk.

After Johnny’s flames accidentally caused some fighter jets damage, a hunter missile was launched at him. Fortunately, Mr. Fantastic stretched out and caught the speeding rocket before it could strike Johnny, then tossed it out in the sea without it detonating.; Hunter missiles were fired by the U.S. military when a mysterious rocket was launched from the Soviet Union. This rocket was secretly carrying The Gargoyle, who ejected himself from the rocket and safely parachuted before the missiles reached their target.; General Ross had a barrage of hunter missiles launched when Gamma Base’s radar picked up an unidentified flying object. These struck and brought down a scout ship of the Toad Men, although it would take Bruce Banner and his Gamma Ray Projector to end the Toad Men’s invasion of Earth. Ross again resorted to firing a barrage of hunters when the Metal Master threatened Los Diablos. Having already used his powers to dissolve tanks and a test rocket, the Metal Master easily deflected Ross’s missiles while also using a piece of metal plating as a hover-board.; Bruce Banner himself resorted to hunter missiles, having designed and built a new kind of hunter missile, when The Leader attempted to start World War III. With Betty Ross’s help, Banner launched his test model just in time to destroy a nuclear warhead programmed by the Leader, narrowly intercepting it.; Sometime later, a new design by Stark International of hunter missiles – made to look more like streamlined bazooka shells – were being tested at one of Stark’s facilities against the capabilities of Iron Man’s armor, when The Beast interloped, forcing Iron Man to cancel the test so as to not harm the mutant adventurer.. ============================================================ Hulkbuster Armor MK II (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Hulkbuster Armor MK II (Earth-1610) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Ultimate Comics Ultimates Vol 1 25 Created by: Joshua Hale Fialkov; Carmine Di Giandomenico Reality: Earth-1610 Origin: Created to counter the Hulk Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 2 Version: 1 History: The second Hulkbuster armor created by Tony Stark.

Tony created this armor some time before and he used it to break into the Project PEGASUS Facility to upload the Technovore virus and deal with the second Crimson Dynamo, resulting in its destruction.; It's used yet again in Uncontrollable. When the Hulk was rampaging around at an A.I.M. base, Tony activated the Buster armor and tried to stop him, but without any success. He was approached by a Controller-possessed Rick Jones, who put one of his disks on his helmet, brainwashing him, but not before knocking Rick out of his own state. With Tony's armor being locked and his voice filters shut off by Rhodey, the Controller used him to attack another AIM base, one that was guarded by M.O.D.O.C.. They easily overpowered all resistance, but the Hulk, Rick, and Pepper smashed in. When Hulk smashed Iron Man's controller disk, the Controller took over Rick and ordered the Hulk to tear off his helmet. Iron Man woke up just in time to blast the Controller to release Rick. Finally, the sight of both Iron Man and Hulk approaching him made the Controller so afraid that he fainted.; The armor was later shown exploding in Tales of Suspense Part 1.; The design was used by Obadiah Stane to create the Firepower Armor.; The Hulkbuster armor returned and was used to battle Iron Monger and Titanium Man in Heavy Mettle. He and War Machine were able to subdue Iron Monger and blast Titanium Man into another region of the planet.; Iron Man uses Extremis to bring his Hulkbuster Armor to him to use to subdue the Hulk. He first uses it to save the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier then fights the Hulk, but not even the Hulkbuster combined Tony's Extremis power can stop him. Hulk rips off the arm servos and knocks it down.; ==Capabilities==; The Hulkbuster Armor was designed for maximum strength and durability at the cost of reduced mobility, presumed to be a mix of the original Crimson Dynamo Armor specifications and the Iron Man suit. It is used as a modular unit for his standard armor, connecting itself within the Hulkbuster. Its capabilities are the following:; Superhuman Strength: This armor was designed fight toe-to-toe with the Crimson Dynamo in combat. It has strength that allows it to push the Dynamo armor through several walls and its maximum strength is enough to hold off the Hulk.; Enhanced Durability: Its durability is also impressive, it can take lasers, missiles, and anti-aircraft weapons with absolutely no effect on it. The armor can also withstand a pounding from an angry Hulk with minimal damage. It is a strong possibility that it could withstand the temperature of the sun just like the original Crimson Dynamo suit.; Flight: It can hover and fly through the use of jet thrusters in the boots and a jet pack on the backside.; Repulsor Gauntlets: Its gauntlets have the following:; Repulsors: It has more powerful versions of the repulsors.; Energy Absorption: He can directly absorb energy through his repulsor ports.; Secondary Propulsion: It has propulsion jets inside its repulsor palms to use in flight.; Force Field: It can form a force field around itself and others. The Hulkbuster armor has the strongest shields out of all the Iron Man armors; Unibeam: It has a more powerful version of the unibeam. One blast at point-blank range was able to completely destroy the Crimson Dynamo Armor.; Rocket Launchers: It is equipped with rocket launchers in the waist.; Gatling Guns: It is also equipped with shoulder-mounted gatling laser blasters. ============================================================ Horn of Gabriel Kind: item Page: Horn of Gabriel Formal name: Horn of Gabriel Type: Horn First appearance: Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America Vol 1 2 Created by: Jeph Loeb; Ed McGuinness Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Atlantean Current owner: Namor Previous owners: Tiger Shark Notes: Not to be confused with the Horn of Galactus, sometimes referred to as "Gabriel's Horn".

They were created by brilliant scientist Professor Phineas Horton. These cells can be grown in a culture, and are compatible with humans. The cells can activate latent mutant and Inhuman physiology. Even in small clusters, they are capable of generating and storing a remarkable amount of power:; Professor Horton used the cells to create the first android. However, when exposed to Oxygen the cells burst into flames. The android then became known as the Human Torch.; While traveling inside the Human Torch in miniaturized form, Ant-Man (Scott Lang) temporarily gained a version of the Torch's powers after coming in contact with one of the cells that power him.; The Pyronanos are nano-machine based artificial beings, which were created using cells secretly extracted from Jim Hammond.; Toro (Thomas Raymond)'s latent Inhuman physiology was exposed to Horton cells. The cells bonded to his nervous system and caused his powers to manifest as an exact duplicate of the Torch's.; Frankie Raye was also exposed to Horton Cells. But her step-father Professor Horton was able to hide the event from her. But when she came in contact with Johnny Storm, the second Human Torch, her powers activated.; Compound D, a mind control substance created by the Mad Thinker, is made from Horton cells.; A Nazi scientist replicated the Human Torch by creating the Firebrand Squadron.; The US government replicated the experiment creating Invader-1, a female version of the Human Torch nicknamed "Tara."; The Horton Cells in the Human Torch's blood are compatible with humans, making him a universal donor:; A blood transfusion from the Human Torch gave Spitfire (Lady Jacqueline Falsworth) her super-speed powers and prevented her conversion after being bitten by a vampire. A second transfusion decades later saved her life and restored her youth.; Hyena (Henry Mortonson) obtained a blood specimen and planned on an army of Nazi speedsters.; Warrior Woman (Julia Koenig) also received a blood transfusion that reversed her brain damage and restored her health and power.; Ultron reported he could taste life after consuming the Human Torch's blood. ============================================================ Horde Crusher Kind: item Page: Horde Crusher Formal name: Horde Crusher Type: Mace First appearance: Captain America Vol 7 23 Created by: Rick Remender; Carlos Pacheco Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Arnim Zola Place of creation: Dimension Z Current owner: Nomad (Ian Zola Rogers) Previous owners: Arnim Zola History: The Horde Crusher is a special made staff created by Arnim Zola, but was stolen by his son and current wielder Nomad, after he escaped from Dimension Z.

One of the personas that he adopted was Hornet. The suit was designed by Mary Jane Parker and the weapon gauntlets were designed by Spider-Man based on Ben Reilly's stinger darts. The cybernetically-controlled wing harness was designed by Prowler (Hobie Brown), who never used it as it was too heavy to be worn by a person of normal strength. Spider-Man, however, was easily able to wear it. He used it with great success for several days, becoming a popular hero with the media after his debut featured him thwarting the Looter's attempt to rob the Daily Bugle. However, during a battle, the Vulture realized that he was actually Spider-Man and exposed him to Norman Osborn. Peter used all four of his new identities, to confuse his foes, and to contradict speculation that the new heroes were all, in fact, the same person. Once he had cleared his name, he abandoned all of his new personas.; ===Eddie McDonough===; The golden age hero Black Marvel acquired the four costumes. He then proceeded to give them to four youngsters forming a team that he named Slingers. Lyons provided Eddie McDonough with the Hornet Suit. He agreed in part because the armored suit restored full mobility to his palsied right arm.; ===Melinda McDonough===; Eddie's niece, Melinda McDonough designed and built her own version of the Hornet armor. Taking up the name Red Hornet, she used it in an attack on Wolverine to avenge her uncle's death. Unfortunately, she failed to realize that Logan was already dead, and she was attacking the wrong Wolverine.; ==Capabilities==; The Hornet Suit grants the user superhuman strength and has insect-like wings on the back that allows the user to fly at high-speeds. It can also project focused bursts of bio-electricity (the "Hornet Sting") that can stun or kill a person.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-62527, May Parker donned the Hornet Suit.; Spider-Verse Vol 3 2; On Earth-68926, the Hornet Suit was among Peter Parker's equipment that was inherited by his successor, Miguel O'Hara.; Spider-Man: Edge of Time; On Earth-73565, Peter Parker recreated his Hornet Suit and placed it in his archives in Alchemax.; Spider-Man: Edge of Time; On Earth-86445, the Hornet Suit was one of the costumes Oscorp created for Peter Parker.; Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (TV series) Season 1 4 ============================================================ Humbug's Suit Kind: item Page: Humbug's Suit Formal name: Humbug's Suit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Web of Spider-Man Vol 1 19 Created by: David Michelinie; Marc Silvestri Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Buck Mitty Current owner: Macrothrax Previous owners: Buck Mitty History: Humbug Suit: enhanced his suit to a full exosuit. He has so far demonstrated superhuman strength, speed, agility, senses, and the ability to communicate with any insectoid in the world and possibly beyond Earth. The helmet is similar to Ant-Man's Helmet; Mitty's weapons were amplified sounds of particular insects. He carried a collection of cassette tapes which held each sound and, when properly amplified through devices in his gloves, demonstrated various effects, including:; hypersonic pitch emitted as pure force, and whose direction of attack is virtually undetectable (Eye-spotted Bud Moth, Buffalo Tree-hopper, or Meadow Spittle-bug).; magnetic charge that imbues all metal objects in the area to repel each other (Imbricated Snout Beetle).; vibrating hum that induces all victims in an area to chortle uncontrollably (Oblique-banded Leaf Roller).; hypersonic pitch capable of piercing objects as an edged weapon (Wheat-stem Sawfly).; shrieking attack that shatters all glass in a line-of-sight area and shorts out all electronic equipment (Salt-marsh Mosquito).; delicate wheezing that melts electronic equipment in the same area (Saw-toothed Grain Beetle).; roar that can set small fires (Bloodsucking Cone Nose).; Other effects, equally impressive, are possible from such cassettes as the Cow-pea weevil, the Short-nosed Cattle Louse, and the Plaster bag-worm, although the bag-worm's effects are probably non-lethal. ============================================================ Hook (Drug) Kind: item Page: Hook (Drug) Formal name: Hook Type: Drug First appearance: Heroes for Hire Vol 3 1 Created by: Dan Abnett; Andy Lanning; Brad Walker Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Atlantean Lead designer: Bernard Waterman Additional designers: Atlanteans Place of creation: Atlantis Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Hook is a narcotic described as "ultra-addictive" that originated in Atlantis and made its way to the surface. They improved the drug further using a human-synthesized version, made from an enzyme farmed from human-addicted subjects, then sold back to Atlanteans. The operation was busted by the Misty Knight and the Heroes for Hire.; Moon Knight described it as; "...a vile substance in Atlantis, but it has a particularly nasty effect on dry land. Air-breathing humans find it aggressively addictive."; The drug causes aggressive addiction in humans it was lethal in thousands of cases. A truck-trailer of contraband Hook was valued at $3.75 million street value. ============================================================ Hunter Drones Kind: item Page: Hunter Drones Formal name: Hunter Drones Type: Drone First appearance: Deathlok Vol 1 3 Created by: Dwayne McDuffie; Gregory Wright; Denys Cowan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Cybertek Place of creation: Cybertek Systems Place of destruction: Cybertek Systems Previous owners: Cybertek History: Cybertek-developed small disc-shaped flying devices, with six laser beam launchers arranged regularly around its circumference. After each volley, the flight paths were drastically changed to make it more difficult for the enemy to attack them.; Harlan Ryker used the hunter drones as the first line of defense for Cybertek's base in Paterson, New Jersey, when Deathlok made a raid there just after the Battle of Estrella. Deathlok's computer identified the characteristics of the hunter drones and initiated countermeasures, including computer controlled aiming and evasive action, so Deathlok easily eliminated these enemies.; Many of Cybertek's designs and products ended up owned by AIM soon afterward when Cybertek was dismantled, while other assets were sold by Roxxon to corporations like Magnum Munitions. ============================================================ Hunger (Virus) (Earth-2149) Kind: item Page: Hunger (Virus) Formal name: The Hunger Other aliases: Hunger Gospel; Undead Contagion; Quantum Virus; Zombie Plague Type: Virus First appearance: Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 21 Created by: Mark Millar; Greg Land Reality: Earth-2149 Origin: The virus was never created; its "origin" was given by a time-loop caused by the Watcher of Earth-Z, who sent the zombified Sentry to Earth-2149's past to keep it contained between these two universes. Notes: Early on, dialogue indicated that Magneto made a deal with something to bring the zombie contagion to his Earth as an attempt to balance the playing field for mutants.; Many pathogens similar to the Hunger have appeared throughout the Multiverse:; On Earth-616, Dr. Mortimer Dauoi created a zombie plague by turning medical cadavers into clones of the Squadron Supreme in an attempt to achieve immortality.; On Earth-11081, Ebenezer Scrooge caused the spread of a zombie plague called the Hungry Death.; On Earth-12591, Loki caused the outbreak of a zombie virus on Earth, and it was later used by the nazists to win World War II.; Earth-13264, which later became the Deadlands of Battleworld, also fell victim to a zombie virus outbreak.; On Earth-14031, an unknown pathogen was accidentally created by A.I.R. through samples of individuals with healing factors, such as Deadpool.; On Earth-483, a meteor containing a zombie pathogen caused an outbreak, which was contained by Machine Man and Howard the Duck.; On Earth-691, its pathogen didn't cause zombification but instead filled those infected with rage and made them attack anyone they saw. It's important to note that they didn't eat flesh.; On Earth-13027, a zombie outbreak occurred under unknown circumstances.; On Earth-904913, Justin Hammer started infecting people with a zombie gas, trying to find out who blackmailed him. Mr. Fix ultimately infected him with the zombie gas revealing he was the one blackmailing him in revenge for turning him into an A.I. Fortunately, no outbreak occurred.; On Earth-26131, a zombie outbreak occurred, leading to the end of the world. A few heroes tried to survive, but they were eventually killed when one of the survivors they were trying to protect, a kid named Donny, decided to save the voodoo zombie, Simon Garth.; On Earth-11080, a chemical turned people into predatory primitive human flesh-eating monsters. They weren't undead but acted primarily on instinct and committed acts of cannibalism.; In many alternate universes, Parker Industries worked alongside with New U Technologies to find a way to bring dead people back to life via cloning. However, those clones were not perfect, and would eventually suffer from cellular degradation caused by the Carrion Virus, becoming mindless monsters in the process. The virus was highly contagious, passing from person to person through contact.; Agent Heather Sante stated to have fought a zombie Spider-Man from Earth-81143.; On Earth-19121, the Brood planted eggs in Galactus' corpse, the resulting new parasitic lifeform infecting entire civilizations and assimilating them into its hive known as the Respawned, turning its hosts into zombie-like creatures. It was pretty similar to the Hunger, as the infected ate human flesh, infecting those who were bitten. Much like the Brood, they were part of a hivemind, each of their own possessing a queen. When that world's metahumans investigated Galactus' corpse, they were quickly turned, intending to use Magik's powers to invade worlds across the Multiverse through the Blackspring after turning Franklin Richards. However, their plans failed, the hive being destroyed and seemingly killing all the Respawned, except for its queen, whose identity is still a mystery.; On Earth-TRN1778, the eldritch god of darkness Knull used the Cosmic Radiation to infect the Frightful Four with his Living Abyss and turn them into zombies. Upon their return to Earth, they would infect almost the rest of the heroes. Eventually, Reed Richards turned almost every hero, using the Infinity Stones, except for Spider-Man, since he was protected by his Black Suit, another creation of Knull. When the King in Black invaded Earth, Spider-Man tried to stop him, but it was thanks to Marvel Girl that the elder god was incinerated, since the Phoenix Force turned her back to normal.; Although the virus is contained in a time loop between Earth-2149 and Earth-91126 due to The Watcher, it has been able to escape the loop through various means:; Earth-6195 diverged from Earth-2149 when its Wolverine was recruited by the Timebreakers, being killed during that time.; Earth-21050 diverged from Earth-2149 when they discovered Earth-95019, and were able to invade it.; Earth-7044 is a variation of Earth-2149 in which Spider-Ham exists.; Somehow the undead Avengers of Earth-2149, composed of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Colonel America, Black Widow, Hulk and Wolverine traveled to Earth-616 and were defeated by the Children of Tomorrow with Colonel America being torned apart.; Due to the Phoenix of Earth-80777 recruiting the Wolverine of Earth-2149 to stop the Onslaught of Earth-696, he spread the virus on Earth-93068.; During this mission, Wolverine also infected the Selene Gallio of Earth-31974, who was forced to use all her stored life force to fight the infection.; Wolverine was also transported and left on Earth-91. Trivia: One of the distinguishing features of those infected by the Hunger which was absent from their initial appearances in Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 is their lipless mouths. This design element was introduced in Marvel Zombies Vol 1 by artist Sean Phillips on accident. Phillips had started drawing Marvel Zombies before the Ultimate Fantastic Four issues featuring them saw print, so he was sent digital copies of Ultimate Fantastic Four pages to ensure consistency with the way artist Greg Land was drawing the zombies. However, the images were highly pixelated, so Phillips couldn't tell the zombies' finer details. According to Phillips, "it looked like all their lips had fallen off and you could see the teeth," so he drew them that way.; About 18 heroes have counterparts in both universes (Earth-2149 and Earth-91126) who were infected, those being Hulk, Wolverine, Doctor Octopus, Electro, Vulture, Mysterio, Blackbolt, Medusa, Lockjaw, Crystal, Triton, Gorgon, Karnak, Moon Knight, Super Skrull, Namor, Quicksilver, and Goliath. History: ===Timeloop===; Through the means of an eternal time-loop, the Watcher of Earth-Z sent a zombified Sentry from his reality to infect Earth-2149 with the plague known as the Hunger.; Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 22; When the zombie Sentry arrived, the Avengers were sent to investigate. They were quickly infected and spread the virus to the other heroes. In less than 24 hours, all of Earth was infected. Despite the efforts of Nick Fury and Ashley Williams, nothing stopped the zombies from eating and spreading the disease to the whole world. The primary reason behind why the infection spread so quickly could be attributed to the zombified Quicksilver. Once infected, he used his super speed to travel around the planet, bringing the virus to seemingly every continent.; Having nothing to eat, the zombified Fantastic Four had the idea of invading the Marvel Apes' reality; however, other zombies had invaded it first. An alternate zombie Mr. Fantastic had no choice but to abort the invasion, so he and Spider-Monkey used a time-machine and an inter-dimensional teleporter to shift their consciousnesses back into their bodies in the past. Preventing the invasion from ever taking place. This, in essence, diverged Earth-8101 to Earth-95019 and Earth-2149 to Earth-21050. and because of this, the zombified Reed shifted his attention to his Ultimate counterpart.; After Ultimate Reed's escape, the Silver Surfer appeared and announced the coming of Galactus. The zombies, only focused on feeding, attacked and killed the Surfer, but only Spider-Man, Colonel America, Wolverine, Giant-Man, Power Man, Iron Man and the Hulk managed to eat him. Having gained the Power Cosmic from the flesh of the Silver Surfer, they used their newfound powers to kill all the other remaining zombified heroes, even going as far as trying to “cook” and eat the remains of their former allies with their powers but ultimately deciding it was futile.; Galactus finally appeared, preparing to devour the world but, over the course of an unspecified amount of time, the zombies constructed a machine using Vibranium from Wakanda to unite their power cosmic and incapacitate Galactus. After taking him down, the zombie heroes fought a group of zombified villains that were challenging them for the body of Galactus. The heroes came out victorious but lost Colonel America in the fight. They used the Power Cosmic gained from Galactus to travel to other worlds and eat other lifeforms. A divergence occurred during this time, in which this reality's Wolverine was pulled away from it and met alternate counterparts of himself. This action would create a separate timeline, with the notable distinction that Wolverine beat the hunger much earlier than his Earth-2149 counterpart.; Meanwhile, the remaining zombies on Earth tried to invade Earth-616; however, they were stopped by Machine Man and Morbius the Living Vampire. Because of this, the characters of Earth-616 attempted to develop a vaccine to combat the virus. Headpool, who invaded Earth-616 along with zombie Morbius, would eventually meet his Earth-616 counterpart and then be killed by the Evil Deadpool Corps.; After forty years in space, and having seemingly devoured most life in the universe, the zombie Galacti (along with some new undead allies) returned to Earth to retrieve Reed's inter-dimensional teleporter but instead discovered a group of survivors led by a zombified Black Panther. They attacked the colony and major casualties are lost on both sides in the ensuing fight. During the battle for the teleporter, the zombies suddenly realized that their Hunger has faded away, a result of them having not eaten for a long period of time when traveling back to Earth, a detail the colony was already familiar with. After discovering that they had all unintentionally detoxed their Hunger away, the remaining zombies agreed to help the humans rebuild. Unfortunately for them, Malcolm Cortez had other plans and seized the opportunity, banishing the zombies to another universe, using the aforementioned inter-dimensional teleporter. Having sent them all to Earth-Z and with T'Challa out of the way, he could now rule over New Wakanda to his own liking.; On Earth-Z, the remaining zombies emerged on separate locations, their cosmic powers seemingly gone and their Hunger back. Many of them tred to avoid temptation but Giant-Man and Wolverine succumbed to the Hunger again. Wolverine would be stopped by his counterpart, along with zombie Spider-Man and Kitty Pryde, while Giant-Man focused on studying the Watcher's technology (having eaten the Watcher in the process) in an attempt to travel to other universes. Many of the zombies (both natives to Earth-Z and the original universe) tried to stop him but failed and were killed. Only zombie Spider-Man along with the New Avengers succeeded. The secret to their success was none other than Sandman, having been infused with Tony Stark's nanobots that consume necrotic tissue, Sandman was released onto the remaining zombies, killing them all, including the heroically aligned ones, leaving only the zombified Sentry alive.; In a major surprise, the Watcher reappears, apparently capable of surviving without a physical body. Having observed all of these events, the Watcher proclaims that the only solution is containment. With that in mind, he proposes a plan: sending the zombified Sentry back in time to Earth-2149, right before the infection started, effectively creating an infinite time-loop, trapping the infection in a vicious cycle between two universes, with no true beginning or end.; ===Quantum Virus===; On Earth-89521, a adjacent reality to Earth-199999, the Hunger manifested as a Quantum Virus, infecting Janet Van Dyne during her time in the Quantum Realm, and once Hank Pym went to her rescue, unleashed it on the regular-sized world. This version of the Hunger is noticeably distinct as it does not grant their hosts with the same level of cognitive awareness as the Hunger of Earth-2149. Instead, it provides them just enough mental cognizance to use their abilities and organize crudely.; ==Physical Features==; Marvel Zombies 2 Vol 1 5; The zombie contagion normally passes via a bite or scratch from an infected being. The infected then becomes an undead flesh eater but retaines their intelligence, personality and special abilities. It causes Hunger in the host, which could only be sated by ingesting the flesh of the living; the flesh of other infected tasted foul to them and could induce illness. The Hunger affected the infected's self-control; the more hungry they were, the less rational and intelligent they became. Once sated, the zombies' personalities re-emerged, and the more humane and moral individuals often felt great guilt at this point.; It appeared to be 100% infectious, but as noted by Spider-Man, those with any kind of accelerated healing appear to be able to fend off the zombification longer after being bit than others; however, the virus would eventually take hold of them and their healing factor would fade after the zombification was complete. Zombies would completely necrotize and lose flesh and skin rapidly, such as their lips, as the zombies were shown with exposed teeth and lacking lips. The disease was also shown to affect Asgardians, such as Thor. The virus is sentient in nature and focus on infecting the metahumans because they are the most probable beings to breach the dimensional barriers of their realities to infect others. Its obsession to infect other realities is a way to "spread the gospel", also considering the food supply will eventually end in each universe.; However the Conquistador of the Command, Florida's government-sponsored super-hero team, was immune to the zombie virus possibly from bathing in the Fountain of Eternal Youth, but instead died when the zombies tore him apart and presumably ate him.; The contagion appeared to have an addictive element to it, as the Hunger was entirely psychosomatic; its infected hosts do not need to eat, as the hosts are dead from the virus necrotizing their bodies; severed zombie heads still had the gnawing Hunger, despite not even having a stomach, implying that, as with someone addicted to drugs or alcohol, the infected hosts are addicted to living flesh. Also, like any addiction, the Hunger could be cured in a sense. If a victim could be isolated from a food supply, within a couple of weeks the cravings disappeared and the subject was able perform a functioning role within society, but with necrotized flesh and near-immortality.; Physically, the virus cannot survive in an oxygenated enviroment and thus, upon entering the host's bloodstream, embeds itself in the bone-marrow to survive. Once there, it creates a secondary nervous system to reanimated the corpse whilst presumably hijacking the pre-existing one. ============================================================ Hulk Plug-In Kind: item Page: Hulk Plug-In Formal name: Bannerman Gene-Enhancement Package Other aliases: Hulk Plug-In Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Boy Vol 2 2 Created by: Grant Morrison; J.G.

Lead designer: Tinkerer Place of creation: Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Phineas Mason History: This robot suit was created by Phineas Mason as part of his plan to create a persona with which he could gain the trust of the superhero community. This identity was that of Phineas' alleged brother, Hophni Mason.; Hophni's fabricated backstory involved him one day experiencing his "brother's" handiwork first hand by witnessing the damage caused in New York by the Scorpion, one of the villains aided by the Tinkerer. He blamed himself for the destruction, believing that he could've have done something to stop it, "Hophni" renounced the use of his intellect for his own gain, and having previously worked with NASA and numerous technology-based companies he instead set up a secret laboratory to aid superheroes in fighting crime. As Hophni Mason (aka The Mason), the Tinkerer became a confidant to the superhero community, allowing him to gather priceless intel that could be used against superheroes.; When his plan was coming to fruition, the Tinkerer revealed the truth behind Hophni Mason. As soon as the rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. division named Gray Blade attacked the Tinkerer's lair, the villain activated his suit's battle mode.

Current owner: Alchemax Previous owners: Humanitech Robotics Inc. History: The Humanitron was intended to be the breakthrough invention of startup robotics company Humanitech, a household android with advanced and affordable artificial intelligence. Rather than creating an A.I., Humanitech captured the supervillain Quicksand and split her apart, using her particles of smart sand as the main component of the android's silicon matrix.; While taking part of a guided tour around Humanitech with members of the Daily Bugle, Peter Parker grew suspicious of the Humanitrons after noticing the readouts of the Humanitron's A.I. looked extremely similar to actual human brain patterns. When a reporter attempted to take a look under the case of a Humanitron, the android lunged at him. Parker tackled the robot, but heard what appeared to be a cry from help from it.; Later that day, Peter returned to Humanitech as Spider-Man and broke into the building with Mockingbird's help. While looking into the Humanitrons' A.I., the heroes were attacked by a horde of them. Spider-Man began cracking open the cases of the Humanitrons, and their matrices jumped out of the robots, bonding together and reforming into Quicksand. Spider-Man convinced Quicksand to spare Zynn's life at the moment, and she agreed in gratitude for being freed and escaped. ============================================================ Hubble Space Telescope Kind: item Page: Hubble Space Telescope Formal name: Hubble Space Telescope Type: Technology First appearance: Silver Surfer (animated series) Season 1 4 Created by: Larry Brody Lead designer: Edwin Hubble Additional designers: N.A.S.A Current owner: N.A.S.A History: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth Orbit in the 1990s and remains in operation. ============================================================ Hosts of Hoggoth (Spell) Kind: item Page: Hosts of Hoggoth (Spell) Formal name: Hosts of Hoggoth Other aliases: "Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth" Incantation possibly Banishment of Hoggoth Type: Spell First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 120 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Hoggoth the Hoary Current owner: Doctor Strange Notes: Doctor Strange more frequently invokes the Hosts of Hoggoth than to cast the spell associated to their name itself.; Though the Hosts of Hoggoth exist as entities, the spell using their name as incantation invokes Hoggoth himself rather than the Hosts (despite them being invoked by name in casting spells).

It also disables the Hunterbot's targeting systems, skills database and defense shielding. Arcade also made it so the Hunter Killer's disruption field was narrow at first, with a range that could only take down one Hunter, but the field became bigger the more Hunterbots were destroyed. ============================================================ Human Machine Kind: item Page: Human Machine Formal name: Human Machine Type: Technology First appearance: S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 1 1 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Dustin Weaver Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Michelangelo Place of creation: Immortal City, Rome, Italy Current owner: Brotherhood of the Shield Trivia: The Source of the Human Machine, Leonid, is only half-human. He is half-Deviant. History: S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 1 1; The exact origin of the Human Machine is unknown but it is hinted to be a creation of Michelangelo, the Forever Man. The omnitemporal Michelangelo recruited individuals that would be part of the Human Machine thoughout human history and orchestrated the events that would have them all gather in 1960.; Leonardo da Vinci, the patriach of the Brotherhood of the Shield, was given the Human Machine by Michelangelo in 1502, as well as the knowledge of Leonid and future events. Leonardo was already planning to go to the future to investigate the Sun; Michelangelo gave Leonardo several additional tasks he would have to complete before he leaves in order to save the world, including the building of the Immortal City and Iter, a door through space and time that cannot be opened, except with a special key. Once Leonardo's time-travelling, spacefaring suit was complete, he ventured off to the future in 1503 with the Human Machine in hand. He arrived at 1956 where he met Leonid, who had just opened Iter with the key.; Leonardo and Leonid brought the Human Machine to the High Council of the Shield, and Leonardo confronted the Shield's new master, Sir Isaac Newton. Following this, Leonardo told Leonid to rescue Nostradamus from Newton's dungeon, another component of the Human Machine. From 1956 to 1960, the Human Machine grew increasingly more complex while the conflict between Leonardo, who believed in the Brotherhood's old ways of free will and human potential, and Newton, who believed in fate and the end of the world, escalated.; After Newton escaped to 2060 AD, the year the world would end according to his Quiet Math, the Star Child found Newton's equations, went mad, and also went to 2060. The Brotherhood of the Shield retrieved the Last Caliphate, whom had been hidden at the request of Michelangelo, and assembled all the human components of the now enormous Human Machine. After going inside, Leonid activated the Human Machine with Michelangelo, the Last Caliphate, Howard Stark, Nikola Tesla, Mina, Nathaniel Richards, and Nostradamus beside him, while Leonardo da Vinci stayed behind. Travelling across time and timelines, they arrived at three different versions of 2060 simultaneously: a lush paradise ("The Rebirth of Man"), a technological utopia ("The Height of Modernity"), and a desolate wasteland ("The End of the World"). Newton assaulted them across all three timelines, with the Star Child by his side.; As the Brotherhood fought Newton and the Star Child, Michelangelo was perfecting the Human Machine in the background. Although most of Leonid's party got wiped out, Michelangelo completed the Human Machine and led Leonid inside it. The three Leonids across the three simultaneous timelines collapsed into one; Leonid teleported the surviving Michelangelo and Newton inside the womb of the deceased Celestial Modonna by the Sun and emerged out of the Human Machine as an ascended god-like entity.; After easily subduing Newton, he offered him and Michelangelo the solution to appease both their respective philosophies. By collapsing time into a single forever moment, there was no separation between fate and free will, where all of man's choices were of his own making and the result of those choices is a destiny that he was always going to achieve. It would be a united, evolving history that would constantly rewrite itself, not to serve a singular truth but a greater universal one. When both parties accepted the proposal, Leonid made it so and restored everyone. He gifted his father and the Star Child with a second doomed Earth, destined to end as Newton desired. Meanwhile, on Leonid's Earth, the Brotherhood found themselves in present-day Italy and were welcomed by Leonardo da Vinci.; ==Human Components==; While the Human Machine is powered by Leonid, it has many other human components divided into seven sections:; ONE: Leonardo da Vinci - The Anchor. The Sacrifice. The Man left behind. The Builder.; TWO: Michelangelo - The Engine. The Drive. Total Illumination. The Agent of Destiny.; THREE: Last Caliphate - The Navigator. What is, what has come before, and what we will be. The Last Caliphate.; FOUR: Leonid - The Source. The Water in the Well. The Generator. Hope.; FIVE: Howard Stark - The Mechanism. The Short End of All Possibility. Practical Application. The Work.; SIX: Nikola Tesla - The Conduit. The Change in Medium. The Measurement of Progress.; SEVEN: Nathaniel Richards & Nostradamus - The Path. The Death of Chaos. The Single Portion. Tomorrow.; Section ONE (Leonardo da Vinci) is not physically part of the Human Machine. Section THREE (the Last Caliphate) has three separate nodes. Section SEVEN (Nathaniel Richards & Nostradamus) has one node that can fit two people. In total, the Human Machine uses ten individuals (including Leonardo). However, it only needs Leonid to ascend him.; Human Machine from S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 1 1 003.jpg|Diagram; Human Machine from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Vol 1 4 001.jpg|The Star Child, the Human Machine, and a baby Leonid; ==Stages==; The Human Machine is unique in that it evolves over time, seemingly on its own or with the assistance of Michelangelo. It started developing when Leonardo da Vinci brought it to the Brotherhood of the Shield after time travelling to 1956, as it did not appear to go through any changes when Leonardo had it from 1502 to 1503. After four years, the Human Machine dramatically increased in both size and complexity, and it "flickered to life" in 1960.; Human Machine and Brotherhood of the Shield (Earth-616) from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Vol 2 6; The Brotherhood of the Shield used the Human Machine to travel to three different possible futures of 2060 AD simultaneously in order to chase Isaac Newton and the Star Child. It is not clear if this is an inherent power of the Machine or if the Machine was utilizing its various human components, many of whom have temporal powers (Nathaniel Richards, Michelangelo, the Last Caliphate, and Nostradamus). The Machine travelled through both time and alternate timelines before arriving at its triple concurrent destinations.; After Michelangelo finished perfecting the Human Machine, he brought Leonid to it and had him enter it. Leonid described the Machine as intuitive. It ascended him into a godlike being that could collapse all of time, including alternate timelines, into a single moment and could seemingly alter the flow of time forevermore. Leonid was able to create a second Earth bound by fate to gift his father Newton and the radicalized Star Child. He gained cosmic awareness, the ability to teleport across space and time, invinciblity, and incredible command over matter, energy, space, and time. Also, he reversed the deaths of everyone who had died in the battle against Newton.; clear ============================================================ Hounds (Robots) Kind: item Page: Hounds (Robots) Formal name: Hounds Type: Robot First appearance: Doomwar Vol 1 3 Created by: Jonathan Maberry; Scot Eaton Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Current owner: Victor von Doom History: The Hounds were armored and heavily armed robots resembling winged felines created by Doctor Doom.

When Kurt Wagner and his Legionaries confronted her, Margali attacked them with the hex, transforming Kurt. Margali mused that Kurt had always held onto a bright spark of hope that he had clung to even as his faith was in jeopardy. However, with his mind addled by the mutation hex, she was able to rip it out of him, fashioning it into the Hopesword.; Under Orchis' control, Nightcrawler was forced to publicly assassinate three anti-Krakoan chiefs of state to damage mutant reputation. Legion contacted Mother Righteous to have him rescued. She agreed and helped the Legionaries retrieve Nightcrawler from the Orchis Forge, where she sacrificed Margali Szardos and took the Hopesword for herself. After the corrupting spell was broken, Mother Righteous was asked to return the Hopesword but refused to do so. Legion tricked her by evacuating the Altar, empowering Nightcrawler with the Hopesword and moving to a place where she could no longer sense him. In anger, Mother Righteous obliterated Nightcrawler and the Legionaries, who were resurrected with no memories of their confrontation with her.; With Hopesword now belonging to him, Kurt left Krakoa to atone for the murders he performed while under Orchis control. He went to New York City, asked Spider-Man for a spare suit and began operating as a street-level hero. Kurt later used to Hopesword to restore Mystique's addled memory of her time in Bavaria and free the Vulture of the Techno-Organic Virus. ============================================================ Horn of Harrowing Kind: item Page: Horn of Harrowing Formal name: Horn of Harrowing Type: Horn First appearance: Magik Vol 1 4 Created by: Dan Abnett; Andy Lanning; Liam Sharp Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Magik History: The Horn of Harrowing was found within Limbo and used by Magik to summon and unite the hordes of the Splinter Realms to fight Archenemy. ============================================================ Houdon-Lou Visualization Spell of the Real Kind: item Page: Houdon-Lou Visualization Spell of the Real Formal name: Houdon-Lou Visualization Spell of the Real Type: Spell First appearance: New Avengers Vol 2 4 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Doctor Voodoo History: The Houdon-Lou Visualization Spell of the Real is a voodoo spell capable of making its summoner see what is happening in real time in places far away from him.

Instead of transforming into the Hulk, the Hulkbuster Armor would manifest itself around Brawn's body while keeping his mind and emotions in check.; Rage Suppression: The Hulkbuster armor suppresses Amadeus' rage to prevent him from going berserk.; Hulk-level Strength: The Hulkbuster is just as strong, if not stronger, than Amadeus's Raging Hulk form.; Hulk-level Durability: Amadeus' armor retains the same level of durability that he had in his Raging Hulk form. However, the armor can be damaged by Galador-forged weapons.; Flight: Amadeus can fly with his armor.; Life Support: The Hulkbuster supplies Amadeus with oxygen, allowing him to breathe in the vacuum of space.; Incognito Mode: Amadeus installed the Armor with a special "Incognito Mode", which activates a sheath of unstable molecules around its outer layer that obscures any technological signatures, making it difficult for suit to be traced or identified by scanners. Despite this, the Armor in Incognito Mode is still physically visible, as its green and purple color simply turns white and black to the naked eye.; Repulsor Blasts: The Armor can fire repulsor blasts.; Psionic Shielding: The Armor is equipped with psionic shielding, protecting Amadeus from telepathic intrusions.; Passive Mode: The Armor can completely restructure itself by separating from Amadeus and transforming into a miniature fortress that maintains its Hulk-level durability.; Amnesia Inducement: In the event of the Armor getting hijacked, Amadeus installed a contingency program that projects an amnestic signal which induces the target with short term to permanent memory loss. Trivia: Brawn's Hulkbuster Armor was introduced in Amadeus Cho 20th Anniversary Special Vol 1 1 to promote the show Marvel's Iron Man and His Awesome Friends. However, the armor worn by Iron Hulk appeared a few days earlier in Free Comic Book Day 2025: Iron Man & His Awesome Friends/Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends Vol 1 1. History: After nearly losing his mind again in his Hulk form during a skirmish with Eaglestar soldiers, Brawn sought to find a way to prevent his uncontrollable rampages. With resources provided by a Worthington Industries laboratory in Long Island, Amadeus created a new Hulkbuster Armor to circumvent any uncontrollable transformations. To demonstrate, Brawn told Hercules to punch him but when Hercules refused, Jimmy Woo struck him instead. The Hulkbuster Armor successfully worked and Brawn sparred with Hercules in the armor afterwards.; When he joined the Imperial Guardians, Brawn made use of the Armor to adapt to fighting in space and equipped it with an Incognito Mode to help with the team's clandestine missions. Brawn used the armor to protect himself against Jarhead's telepathy in the team's second mission. When the team attempted to extract Calculan Syrus Greyflank ahead of the Shi'ar Empire, Amadeus used the Armor's Passive Mode to create a makeshift fortress around Greyflank to prevent the Imperial Guard from reaching him, but when Greyflank betrayed the Guardians and used his algorithm to take control of the armor for himself, Amadeus activated the Armor's contingency system which gave Greyflank temporary amnesia, causing him to lose control over the Armor and wiped all memory of a valuable algorithm that the Shi'ar Empire was after. When the team investigated the disappearance of a research team at an archeological site, they were attacked by the Nightshape; Amadeus's armor had all of its power depleted when it came in contact with the entity. However, Darkhawk was able to resist the Nightshape and fight it off, which saved the Guardians. When the Guardians fought against another team of Imperial Guardians, the Hulkbuster Armor was damaged by Knightwatch's Galador-forged weapons but the two groups ceased fighting when they discovered that they were tricked by Maximus into killing each other. ============================================================ Hood of the Nisanti Kind: item Page: Hood of the Nisanti Formal name: Hood of the Nisanti Type: Mystic cloak First appearance: Hood Vol 1 1 Created by: Brian K. Vaughan; Kyle Hotz Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dormammu Current owner: Dormammu Previous owners: Parker Robbins; Nisanti History: The Hood of the Nisanti was a mystical cloak and pair of boots originally taken by Parker Robbins from a demonic being known as the Nisanti. After killing the creature during a warehouse robbery, Robbins claimed its garments and soon discovered that they possessed supernatural properties. The enchanted boots granted him the ability to levitate and fly, while the hood rendered him invisible whenever he held his breath. As Robbins continued to use the artifacts, additional powers manifested, including the projection of mystical energy and access to a demonic transformation. The cloak was later revealed to be linked to the extra-dimensional entity Dormammu, who had chosen Robbins as a potential host. Although Parker initially believed the garments themselves were the source of his abilities, he eventually learned that the hood served primarily as a conduit for Dormammu’s influence, allowing the demon lord to establish a progressively stronger connection to Earth. Even after the physical cloak was destroyed, Robbins retained his powers, confirming that the bond with Dormammu had become independent of the original garment. ============================================================ Image Inducer Kind: item Page: Image Inducer Formal name: Image Inducer Type: Technology First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 97 Created by: Chris Claremont; Dave Cockrum Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Current owner: Transonic Previous owners: Nightcrawler; Beast; Archangel; Polaris; Magneto; Deadpool; Sebastian Shaw; Scimitar; Taskmaster Notes: Nightcrawler has owned five separate image inducers at a time. History: An Image inducer is a device that produces a hologram to disguise the appearance of the user. The inducer looks like a watch, providing a cover for anyone who asks about it. It was originally developed by Iron Man at Stark Industries.; It covers the person's body and gives them any other appearance. It conforms to the person's movements. It can even be changed to give the user an entirely different appearance.; The inducer's main drawback is that it only generates a look, but cannot hide the feel of the person's skin, nor can it hide anything not within the range of a normal human being. This was a problem for Nightcrawler, because if anyone actually touched him, they could feel his fur, or if he let his tail move, it would appears outside the holographic image.; The inducer can also short out if there is a problem or if it is low on energy.; The Genoshan Magistrates were once defeated by Polaris in the guise of Magneto, using an Image Inducer.; Nightcrawler later used a Shi'ar Image Inducer instead of the Stark-designed model.; During his quest to Wundagore Mountain to seek the High Evolutionary's help in order to reserve the M-Day, Beast used an image inducer to prevent himself from frightening his Sherpas.; Deadpool had access to an holographic image inducer that he could use to disguise his true appearance as necessary.; Taskmaster has been known to use an image inducer to disguise his identity while on the job.; The organization Scimitar used 'industrial grade' image inducer tech to mask their Helicarrier as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, both inside and out. ============================================================ Hurricane's Wings Kind: item Page: Hurricane's Wings Formal name: Hurricane's Wings Type: Flight Harness First appearance: Captain America Comics Vol 1 1 Created by: Joe Simon; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Model: Unique Trivia: Originally, the Hurricane's Wings were an actual mystical item, presumably akin to the Talaria worn by Mercury as Hurricane was an envoy of the gods. As this character has since been retconned as Makkari, the Wings can be presumed to now also be a technological device disguised as a mystic object as well. History: A sample of seemingly miraculous Eternal technology, Hurricane's Wings are a pair of devices made to look like a pair of avian wings made of silver. They can be affixed magnetically to an object, preferably some mode of transportation, which can then be moved at astonishing speed and defy gravity. They apparently respond to mental command.; Makkari used a set of wings during his brief time as the super-hero Mercury/Hurricane, once attaching them to the sides of a taxi cab to not only circumvent urban traffic but to get him to his destination -- a gangster’s hideout – reportedly within seconds. He later attached them to the seat of said gangster’s pants and had him flown across down, the wings depositing him at police headquarters before teleporting away. ============================================================ Hunting Horn of Faerie Kind: item Page: Hunting Horn of Faerie Formal name: Hunting Horn of Faerie Type: Horn First appearance: Thor Vol 1 346 Created by: Walt Simonson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Malekith Place of creation: Svartalfheim Current owner: Malekith History: The Hunting Horn of Faerie is a mystical horn used by Malekith to summon the Wild Hunt. ============================================================ Illumination Stone Kind: item Page: Illumination Stone Formal name: Illumination Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Thor Vol 2 22 Created by: Dan Jurgens; John Romita, Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: X'Hoss Place of creation: Unnamed planet by Thor Properties: Soul Peering: The Illumination Stone has the capability to look into the soul of a person and reveal who they truly are.

During a fight with Fantomex and the X-Men, he released the HX-N1 into the atmosphere and used it to cover his escape. Fantomex managed to acquire a sample of the virus and ran it through the computer systems aboard his personal carrier E.V.A.. Afterward, he gave the samples to the X-Men for further study.; The first X-Man to be affected was Anole but quickly almost all mutants on Utopia were infected, and a quarantine was proceeded.; The non-transmission of the virus to humans was proved by Dr. Rao.; When the X-Men attacked Lobe, he activated the "Ebola Plus" function to defeat them, but him and his investors for the mutant powers drug, who were mutants for the time of the drug Xperience's effects. Lobe purge everybody from the HX-N1. ============================================================ Hydra-Bot (Earth-8096) Kind: item Page: Hydra-Bot Formal name: Hydra-Bot Type: Weapon First appearance: Avengers Micro Episodes: Iron Man Season 1 1 Created by: Brandon Auman Reality: Earth-8096 Current owner: Hydra History: The Hydra-Bot is an enormous tentacled vehicle with a skull-shaped head. It has multiple guns, and one extremely large one that deploys from the top of the head. It was also equipped with Hydra Dreadnoughts for back-up.; It was seen in other situations, like when Hydra sent one Hydra-Bot to bring an elite strike force to attack the UN HQ and deployed numerous of them to battle A.I.M. forces, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers. ============================================================ Hyde Formula Kind: item Page: Hyde Formula Formal name: Hyde Formula Other aliases: Mr. Hyde Serum; pink pills Type: Drug First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 99 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Calvin Zabo Current owner: Calvin Zabo History: The Hyde formula is a hormonal treatment created by biochemist, Calvin Zabo. The formula drastically enhances the human body, adding several hundred pounds of muscle and bone. The transformation usually completes within 30 seconds of ingestion. The skin does not apparently develop in exact proportion to the rest of the body so the face has a perpetual grimace and the fingerprints are altered. Zabo has continued to experiment with his formula increasing its potency as well as prolong its effects.; It has been shown to endow the user with the following attributes:; Superhuman Strength; Superhuman Stamina; Superhuman Durability; Accelerated Healing Factor; One drawback to its use is inducing violent rages, impairing proper judgement.; ===Daisy Johnson===; An unforeseen side effect of the formula on Zabo's illegitimate daughter Daisy Johnson alias Quake, it activated her Inhuman lineage without the need for the Terrigen Mist. Daisy was born with the power to generate and control seismic waves.; ===Jack Flag===; Jack Flag attempted to infiltrate the Serpent Society, but King Cobra did not fully trust Flag. King Cobra sent him to steal a painting from Mr. Hyde, who severely beat Jack. While fighting, Flag was drenched in Hyde's chemicals and developed superhuman strength. After receiving his new powers, Flag easily defeated Mr. Hyde and retrieved the painting that he was supposed to steal for the Serpent Society.; == Alternate Realities ==; === Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999) ===; "Tell me you figured out what drugs Cal took, because my gut's saying everything ever made."; "I haven't fully sequenced the formula yet, if only for the multitude of trace drugs found, but my initial list includes anabolic-androgenic steroids, a liver enzyme blocker, various metabolic enhancers, methamphetamines, what appears to be gorilla testosterone, and, no lie, a drop of peppermint. I think it's an ill-conceived attempt at super strength."; Phil Coulson and Jemma Simmons; Cal Zabo created a chemical compound that gave its user super-strength. Cal admitted his use of the liquid to the Slicing Talons. The formula was in Cal's office, when he retrieved the equipment he used to piece together Jiaying, and showed the kit to Daisy. Cal was handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D. in an effort to come to a truce between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Inhumans. A nearly-empty vial of the formula was retrieved from his jacket, and he denied knowledge of it. ============================================================ Hyper-Activator Kind: item Page: Hyper-Activator Formal name: Hyper-Activator Type: Technology First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 4 Created by: Archie Goodwin; Johnny Craig Reality: Earth-616 History: The Hyper-Activator induces a permanent condition of strength and power into the body normally only attained in rare moments of crisis and stress. The Unicorn was overexposed to it, thus shortening his lifespan. ============================================================ Iceberg Rocket Kind: item Page: Iceberg Rocket Formal name: Iceberg Rocket Type: Missile First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 4 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: United States Army History: === Overview ===; The Iceberg Rocket was a missile that carried a payload of chemical foam capable of instantly freezing its target on contact.; === Modern Age ===; General Ross and his men were conducting final tests on the Iceberg Rocket at the Los Diablos Missile Base. Ross, hoping that the rocket would prove to be the weapon which would one day capture the Hulk, ordered his men to fire a decoy missile shaped like the Hulk, then they launched the Iceberg Rocket after the Hulk facsimile. The Iceberg Rocket flew in pursuit and released its payload of a quick-freezing chemical foam; the test was proven successful when the frozen "Hulk" fell to the ground.; As the real Hulk was leaping across the desert landscape, he was detected by a monitoring station, which relayed the news back to General Ross. Ross then ordered the Iceberg Rocket to be launched at the Hulk. The rocket hit the jade giant in midair, and he dropped to the ground, trapped in a rock-hard chunk of ice. But the green goliath's body temperature was so intense, it caused the ice to melt, and he was able to break free and escape before Ross and his men could get to him. ============================================================ Hydra Cannon (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Hydra Cannon Formal name: Hydra Cannon Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Captain America: The First Avenger Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: German Lead designer: Arnim Zola Additional designers: Red Skull Place of creation: Hydra Base, Germany Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D. Previous owners: Hydra History: In 1943, when SS officers Roeder, Hutter, and Schneider came to Hydra to question Johann Schmidt about Hydra's failure to deliver promised weapons to the German armies, Schmidt showed them his Tesseract-powered cannon. When the officers discovered that Schmidt planned to attack targets in Germany as well as in enemy countries, Schmidt used the cannon to kill the officers to keep his secret. ============================================================ Illuminatrix Kind: item Page: Illuminatrix Formal name: Illuminatrix Type: Technology First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 8 1 Created by: Dan Slott; Mike Allred Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Technology Place of creation: Zenn-La Current owner: Keeper of the Great Truth; Hordax Properties: The Illuminatrix is a hybrid of magic and technology, better described as "magi-tech." A miniature version of it had the capability of absorbing the essence of every work of art and every single piece of expression made by a culture. The Illuminatrix can also empower individuals with this absorbed culture, namely allowing them to gain the abilities and behavior of fictional characters, myths and legends.; A planet-sized version of the Illuminatrix is capable of completely warping the culture of a planet, turning it into a replica of Zenn-La's. History: The Illuminatrix was considered by the Silver Surfer as the height of Zenn-Lavian technology. A miniature version of it was used by the Hordax in an attempt to steal the Earth of its culture to save it from the Keeper of the Great Truth.; The Silver Surfer stopped the Hordax's attempt on the Earth's culture, unaware of their noble intentions. The Keeper of the Great Truth eventually reached the Earth, and used a planet-sized version of the Illuminatrix to transform the Earth's culture into a copy of Zenn-La's, like she had done to many other planets.; With each second that passed, the Illuminatrix was closer to completing an orbit around the Earth, making the conversion process virtually irreversible. Norrin used all of his Power Cosmic in a last-ditch effort to save the Earth by destroying the Illuminatrix. The destruction caused every trace of Zenn-Lavian culture to be erased from the universe, from not only the converted planets, but Zenn-La itself as well. ============================================================ Hyper-Sound Piano Kind: item Page: Hyper-Sound Piano Formal name: Hyper-Sound Piano Type: Musical Instrument; Sonic Weapon First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 87 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Additional designers: Dr. Doom Current owner: Dr. Doom History: Dr. Doom modified two pianos as secret weapons: Whenever Doom (or any other player) pressed a specific combination of chords, he could direct sonic blasts to kill everyone -or a specific person- either in the same room the piano is, or in a monitored room that he could see in a screen that serves also as music stand. Doom keeps one piano in Castle Doom, in Latveria, and the other in his Adirondacks fortress.; Doom used one of these pianos in a plot against the Fantastic Four when they raided Latveria. Initially, Doom intended to entertain the Fantastic Four as their guests, only to surprise them with an attack. However, Doom's minion Gustav Hauptmann tried to surprise the Fantastic Four and an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. with an attack that would have also destroyed several works of art in Doom's Castle. Enraged at this disregard for culture, Doom used the piano to kill Hauptmann, then released the Fantastic Four.; The Invisible Girl later saw and heard Doom playing a piano in his Adirondacks castle. It is unclear whether this piano was a Hyper-Sound Piano or a common one. ============================================================ Hypnopticon Kind: item Page: Hypnopticon Formal name: Hypnopticon Type: Technology First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 37 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed and built this stationary machine to instill hypnotic orders on people. To do so, the device resorted to fluttering lights. The user of the hypnopticon is immune, as are would-be victims with protected visions. The device is short-range and had some limitations on the number of commands that could be instilled and the nature of those.; Doom had one hypnopticon installed in his laboratory at the NYC Latverian Embassy and tried to use it against Daredevil - but it failed because Daredevil is blind, something Doom ignored at that point. Daredevil attacked Doom, but Doom then used the skirmish to lead his enemy to another trap - the Body-Transferral Ray! ============================================================ Hypno-Persuader Kind: item Page: Hypno-Persuader Formal name: Hypno-Persuader Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 85 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Additional designers: Gert Hauptmann; Victor von Doom (Clone) Previous owners: Victor von Doom Notes: The book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 theorized that an improved hypno-persuader may have been used to reprogram the Fantastic Four for their Liddleville adventure as seen in Fantastic Four Vol 1 236. History: This device took up to four subjects to condition. The subjects laid in four rectangular tables radiating from a central metal column, with the head to it. A helmet was placed on the subject's head. The persuader then instilled one single, spoken statement on each person, through repetition - albeit the statement can be different for each of the simultaneous subjects. The system had limitations: It affected only organic beings, only with one single statement at a time, and the subject may overcome the conditioning if under stress, particularly if the statement was false (e.g., convincing a superhero that he had lost his powers; should that hero be in a situation where he would use the powers, he'd have a chance to fight the conditioning). The machine's settings allowed for using different amounts of electrical resistance; a greater amount, such as 10,000 Mega-Ohms, was more effective to persuade obstinate subjects, but it could also be lethal for them. Doom could also switch off the subject's conditioning at any moment, but apparently he could not switch it on again afterward.; Doom kept one hypno-persuader in the higher laboratories of his Latverian Castle Doom and he used it once to prevent the Fantastic Four from using their powers but they overcame the effect during a battle soon afterward.; Later, Doom sent used the Hypno-Persuader on Mr. Fantastic, ex-leader of the Fantastic Four who had recently disbanded the team after losing his powers. Mr. Fantastic was unknowingly working form Doom as a researcher, and Doom took this chance to condition him in the Hypno-Persuader, making him believe that he hated his former partners because they retained their powers while he had lost his. Doom's minions Gert Hauptmann and Victor II operated the machine, finding that Mr. Fantastic was very strong-willed, and they resorted to high intensity charges to succeed. Then, they disguised Mr. Fantastic as the villain Invincible Man and sent him to harass the Fantastic Four, using Doom's technology as support. Only when Mr. Fantastic had captured his teammates and Victor II had secured them with Electronic Shackles did Victor II revealed them that Mr. Fantastic had defeated them all. He then released Mr. Fantastic from his control. ============================================================ Idento-Disc Kind: item Page: Idento-Disc Formal name: Idento-Disc Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 17 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: Per Machines of Doom Vol 1 1, the spy cameras are hidden in the holograms are stop working once the discs are removed. However, in Fantastic Four Vol 1 17, Doom is still monitoring the Fantastic Four once they haver removed the discs. History: A small plastic disc used as homing device for a specific hologram that looked like a ridiculous, flying, fat, bald man. As those are holograms, they could go through walls to follow their target. At the same time, the idento-disc hides a camera in the hologram to report anything "seen" by the hologram to its creator, Doctor Doom. Doom once followed the Fantastic Four using this technology. Once Reed Richards found the discs, he removed them, and the holograms disappeared. However, he failed to deactivate the cameras at the same time. ============================================================ Hydra Pistol (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Hydra Pistol Type: Firearm First appearance: Captain America: The First Avenger Created by: Joe Johnston; Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: German Lead designer: Arnim Zola Previous owners: Red Skull; Hydra History: The Hydra Pistol was the main and personal weapon used by the Hydra leader Red Skull during World War II. As every other Tesseract-powered weapon, it fired blue energy pulses that could vaporize humans, although it was not as effective against other materials. It was also useless against Captain America's Shield, as the pulses bounced off or were absorbed by the Vibranium. ============================================================ Hyperspace Combustion Manifold Kind: item Page: Hyperspace Combustion Manifold Formal name: Hyperspace Combustion Manifold Type: Technology First appearance: Deadpool Team-Up Vol 2 896 Created by: Stuart Moore; Shawn Crystal Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Highwayman History: The Hyperspace Combustion Manifold allowed ordinary Earth vehicles to travel in space. ============================================================ Hyena Clan Teleporter Kind: item Page: Hyena Clan Teleporter Formal name: Hyena Clan Teleporter Type: Technology First appearance: FF Vol 1 19 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Gabriel Hernandez Walta Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Wakandan Current owner: Hyena Clan Properties: Portal Creation: This device can open up portals allowing to teleport anywhere on the continent in mere moments. History: The Hyena Clan Teleporter is a piece of advanced technology used by the Hyena Clan, an ancient religious sect that separated from Wakanda centuries ago.; When Hyena Clan returned to Wakanda to steal from the Wakandan Reservoir, they teleported in using these devices. Upon their arrival, they were met by the students of Future Foundation who were on vacation at the time. The young heroes managed to snatch a teleporter and use it to send the Hyena Clan directly to Central Wakanda, were they were confronted by the Black Panther and a large group of Dora Milaje. ============================================================ Hypno-Probe Kind: item Page: Hypno-Probe Formal name: Hypno-Probe Type: Technology First appearance: Astonishing Tales Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Wally Wood Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: The story does not specify whether the Hypno-Probe controlled the mind of the robot Rudolfo, preventing it from moving; or the mind of the real Rudolfo, who was using a remote control to handle the robot and, likely, was using a monitor to see whatever the robot was seeing. History: Doctor Doom developed this non-portable device and installed it within Castle Doom. It could be used in an individual interrogation, where a semi-conscious victim would be unable to answer but the truth, in a slow voice. It could also be used to take over the minds of a small group of distracted people for a limited time. Doom used it twice in a quick succession: First, when a woman looking like Doom's old flame Valeria appeared at Doom's door, Doom was suspicious and submitted her to the machine, to discover that she was a spy for Doom's enemy Rudolfo Fortunov. Rudolfo indeed wanted Doom to discover this, for it would have a psychological effect on him, and because he expected the chivalrous Doom to not punish the spy because of that. The spy then sabotaged Castle Doom's defenses, allowing for Rudolfo and his troops to invade it (although Rudolfo sent an android impersonator in his place via remote control). Doom then used a Hologram Projector and one Doombot to keep Rudolfo and some of his men busy with a skirmish, while he directed the Hypno-Probe against them, taking control of their minds. ============================================================ Hypno-Gas Kind: item Page: Hypno-Gas Formal name: Hypno-Gas Other aliases: Stream of Gas Type: Drug First appearance: Astonishing Tales Vol 1 5 Created by: Larry Lieber; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Probably Castle Doom, Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom Dimensions: Gaseous Notes: The story specifies that Doom had hypnotized the Red Skull and the Exiles using the hypno-gas. Just before that, he had also knocked them down with a gas, but it is unconfirmed whether this was the same gas -meaning that the hypno-gas was also narcotic - or not. History: Doctor Doom developed this powerful gas that allowed instill temporary hypnotic suggestions in particularly susceptible, unconscious subjects. When the Red Skull and his allies the Exiles took over Doctor Doom's Castle, Doom recovered it and knocked his enemies down. He then used the hypno-gas to make them believe that he had shrunk them to an ant's size, then placed them on a rocket and sent them to their island. Doom knew that the effect would have passed when they reached their destination, but he knew they wouldn't try to attack him again any time soon as he had proven his superiority over them. ============================================================ Image Projector (Doctor Doom) Kind: item Page: Image Projector (Doctor Doom) Formal name: Image Projector Type: Technology First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 2 Created by: Tony Isabella; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Probably Castle Doom, Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: The nature of the Image Projector is quite different from Doom's Hologram Projector: The Hologram Projector can reproduce anything Doom thinks of, while the Image Projector can only reproduce Doom. However, the Image Projector provides a Doom that can attack enemies, while the Hologram Projector does not. History: This device was developed by Doctor Doom and could be optionally incorporated within his armor, specifically within a hinge-hidden compartment. Whenever Doom activates this device, a realistic, three-dimensional projection of himself appears in the nearby area. Doom can use the image as a decoy, but he also use it for recon purposes -he can see, hear and speak through the image, and he can even use his armor's powers through the image. The image was not as powerful or endurant as the real Doom, and it vanished if it suffered enough damage, if Doom moved beyond the valid range, or if Doom simply switched off the device. Whenever Doom is not using this device, he keeps it in his laboratory at Castle Doom.; Doom took this device with himself when he went to the Hydrobase to help prospective ally the Sub-Mariner, who had been captured by some enemies. Doom destroyed two Octo-Mek war machines of Sub-Mariner's enemies', then noticed that Sub-Mariner's ally Betty Dean Prentiss was hidden in nearby bushes. Wanting to reach her undetected, Doom used the Image Projector so that she would keep watching the wrong place, while Doom himself stealthy approached her. Understanding she was not an enemy, Doom ominously but gently announced his presence, then explained the details of the Image Projector to the surprised Dean Prentiss. They eventually allied to release the Sub-Mariner. ============================================================ Hypno-Ray Kind: item Page: Hypno-Ray Formal name: Hypno-Ray Other aliases: Hypno-Ray Device Type: Technology First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 11 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Bob Hall Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Additional designers: Red Skull Place of destruction: Earth orbit Previous owners: Doctor Doom; Red Skull History: This device was a metallic huge, cylindrical satellite device to send a hypnotic ray to Earth's surface from its orbit. Once activated, any person directly affected by the ray would become a zombie-like slave of the ray's user, effectively covering the whole Earth in little time. Doctor Doom developed this machine ensuring that a number of defenses could protect against it, to avoid being affected himself. The Ray could be remotely operated from a control room at Castle Doom, where the operator could command the device to rotate before sending the ray. Doom also had a lunar base where he could operate the device from.; Doom's megalomaniac rival Red Skull staged an intricate scheme to steal Doom's designs. By pretending to be an agent from foreign powers, the Skull bought weaponry from Doom in the international market and provided the devices to his technicians so they could reverse-engineer Doom's technology. With it, the Skull took over Latveria from Doom and took control of Doom's devices, including the Ray. Ironically, the Skull had infiltrated his own men in Doom's selected building team, and supervised the construction from the moment diggers collected the material for mines. The Skull also redesigned the controls so that they would only answer to the Skull's bioprint.; The Skull secured his position as ruler of Latveria by defeating pretender-to-the-throne Rudolfo Fortunov and up-and-coming superhero Shroud. Meanwhile, in American exile, Doom was recruited by the Skull's enemy Captain America and they both infiltrated Latveria. The Skull intercepted them with Doom's Rainbow Missile and leave them for dead - however, they were only reduced in size. The Skull then tried to recruit Sub-Mariner for his cause in Doom's throne room; Shroud, a prisoner there, insisted that the Sub-Mariner should know about the Hypno-Ray. Domm and the Captain attacked the Skull, and Doom convinced the Skull to activate a machine to return him and the Captain to their common sizes. The Shroud, who mistrusted Doom, confronted Doom when the other heroes insisted that the Skull was the main threat at the moment.; The Skull retreated to the throne, where he activated a protective force field and tried to activate the Hypno-Ray. Prince Rudolfo sabotaged the process and teleported the Skull to the lunar base. The Skull recovered and tried to reconfigure the device from the moon, using his technicians there. The process would take him one hour, a time his enemies used to prepare an attack: Doom piloted the Doomship to reach the base, with Shroud as his passenger. While Shroud sabotaged the satellite itself, Doom was to confront the Skull to keep him busy.; Making use of the Hypno-Ray satellite's metallic hull, the Shroud reached the hardware using his magna-rang. He then used his mystical senses to try and find key circuits under the hull but apparently the item had some kind of defenses that identified the probe and reacted to it. The Shroud was forced to obliterate the satellite causing a massive, internal feedback that left him blasted and unconscious at point-blank. Adrift in space among the debris of the Hypno-Ray, Shroud was then rescued by Captain America in a S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle, while Doom defeated the Skull. ============================================================ Hyperwave Bomb Kind: item Page: Hyperwave Bomb Formal name: Hyperwave Bomb Other aliases: Hyper-Wave Bomb; Genetics-Bomb; Genetics Bomb Type: Bomb First appearance: Avengers Annual Vol 1 14 Created by: Roger Stern; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull Lead designer: Myrn Place of creation: Power Asteroid; Andromeda Galaxy Previous owners: Zabyk; Myrn History: Zabyk and Myrn intended to unleash a powerful secret weapon, the Hyperwave bomb. The Avengers ultimately joined forces with the Fantastic Four, also on Kral on a separate mission, but neither group could prevent Zabyk from firing the dreaded weapon. To everyone's surprise, however, the Hyperwave bomb affected only the Skrulls, robbing them all of their shapechanging powers.; Forcing their way inside the satellite, they found a dying Skrull named Myrn who told them his colleague Zabyk intended to detonate a Hyper-Wave Bomb to decimate the Skrull empire. Needing to stop this weapon, the Fantastic Four ripped their way into the next room where they crossed paths with the Avengers. Suddenly, Zabyk contacted them, telling them that they were too late to stop him from activating the Hyper-Wave Bomb that would make him master of the universe. When Captain America ordered Captain Marvel to burn out the machine, Mister Fantastic tried to tell her to stop. Although his warning came too late, she exited it a split-second later. As she later explained, what she saw inside the hyperwave generator made her realize that stopping it would have ripped the dimensional interface apart, so she did nothing.; With no opposition to stop him, Zabyk activated the Hyper-Wave Bomb which then went off. The waves of energy it emitted caused all the Skrulls on the power station to briefly glow, including, to his horror, Zabyk, who had thought that the armor he was wearing would shield him. In the aftermath, Prince Dezan stated that the effect of the bombardment felt much like that of the Inhibitor Mask, and Reed confirmed that, before dying, Myrn had told him that the "bomb" was meant to stabilize the Deviant genetic code of all Skrulls everywhere, trapping them forever in the forms they were in when the bomb went off. This included Zabyk, who was now trapped inside his specially constructed suit. ============================================================ Hyperwave Kind: item Page: Hyperwave Formal name: Hyperwave Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Comics Presents Vol 1 97 Created by: Timothy Truman; Todd Foxx Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Interstellar communication apparatus Lead designer: Reed Richards Place of creation: Four Freedoms Plaza, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Reed Richards History: Silver Surfer got trapped in a Hyperwave.

The boy was given high tech wings fashioned by Phastos and Makkari, and his father intended to teach him how to use them but for years he was absent due to fighting with the Deviants. The son became impatient and wore the wings in a bid to find his father. He flew too high and lost consciousness due to lack of air. The father found the boy's body in time and chose to honor his son by taking his name. With the father being immortal, the son's name Ikaris would live on forever. ============================================================ Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon Kind: item Page: Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon Formal name: Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 2 33 Created by: Roger Stern; Ralph Macchio; Tom Sutton Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Ikthalon Place of creation: Boreas Current owner: Doctor Strange; Ikthalon Properties: Cold and Ice Generation: The Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon can conjure extreme cold temperatures, icy winds, and snow. It can also literally freeze individuals in place and time.

Fortunately, Iceman was attending the festivies and was able to stop Ikthalon by absorbing his icy form into himself. ============================================================ Huntsman's Staff Kind: item Page: Huntsman's Staff Formal name: Huntsman's Staff Other aliases: Power-Staff; Staff of Zeus; Staff of Supremacy; Spear of Light Type: Staff; Throwing Spear First appearance: Ka-Zar Vol 1 1 Created by: Allyn Brodsky; Frank Springer Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Olympian; A sliver of the Skyfather Zeus' power given form as a magical weapon and granted to Cephalus by Eos as a gift. Lead designer: Eos Additional designers: Zeus, Pluto Current owner: Huntsman Previous owners: Eos; Zeus Properties: The particular weapon of choice utilized by Zeus's Huntsman, bestows him with a unique cadre of supernatural powers not of the mortal world. While it seemingly can be destroyed for a time it will reform and return to its owners hand.; Summoning/Banishment: Through the chanting of a rhyme pertaining to the desired creature. The staff can call forth or dismiss any manner of beasts and monsters out of Greco-Roman legend; Energy Projection: Cephalus's staff could discharge various forms of dynamic force which he could use to varying effects. Ranging to concussive force that'll knock even the toughest of enemies to the floor or levitation in which he used against the avengers.; Targeting: Cephalus never misses a mark with his lance. In or out of his hands the weapon can bend, twist or curve around targets or in mid-air in order to strike an enemy he has designated as his mark.; Dimensional Travel: The spear enables its wielder to move to and from any point on earth between there and Olympus, allowing Cephalus to move between different points of existence at will.; Divine Siphon: Said weapon can drain or diminish the power of an Olympian or individuals powered of Olympian presence. This occurs when the staff touches the individual its wielder wished to effect, draining them of their strength to resist.; Form Change: By shifting the substance of his weapon, Huntsman could give both it and himself various powers and abilities. By changing it to light form it could fly about in the air guided only by his own thoughts or physical motion, and by thralling it in Hades Hellfire. He could ride along a massive column of flame projected by it or hurl the fiery polearm as a high density energy wave that could stun his foes.; ===Conjoined Properties===; When in the hands of its master, The spear gave Cephalus a great many physical and mystical enhancements that are unique to him.; Divine Empowerment: The Spear gave Cephalus augmented physical capabilities akin to any Olympian God. Such as augmented physical abilities pertaining to strength, speed, reflexes, etc.; Weapon Recall: If he needed to, The Huntsman can easily require his weapon in the event it were to leave his hands. Useful for drawing it back in case it slipped or was launched a great distance.; Illusion Projection: Even while separated from his mystical lance, The Huntsman still has powers derived from it, more specifically he can conjure convincing 3-D holographic projections that seem real to the naked eye. The illusions appear to also have a psychosomatic effect taking grasp of the mind inducing whatever The Huntsman wants them to experience, such as asphyxiation.; Fear Inducement: Cephalus could instill great terror into the hearts of any Olympian he came across. This effect worked just as well on those who drew power from Olympian sources such as Trey Rollins. Notes: As the spear was his power source, The Huntsman was vulnerable if he were to lose it.; Cephalus's staff/spear had been broken once after fighting the Sub-Mariner, yet it somehow was reformed again a few issue later. History: A ray of light taking the form of a spear or Bo that was gifted unto the unwitting Cephalus when he was young and alive. Being unequaled in skill with a spear, the mighty hunter took it in stride until he murdered his wife by mistake and cast himself into the ocean to drown. Taking pity on him the all-father of the Olympian Pantheon rescued Cephalus from Tartarus wherein he was made to be the ultimate tracker in his employ. ============================================================ Hydroblaster Kind: item Page: Hydroblaster Formal name: Hydroblaster Type: Weapon First appearance: Superman/Fantastic Four Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Jurgens Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Reed Richards Place of creation: Pier Four, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Reed Richards History: The Hydroblast was a weapon created by Mister Fantastic that spouted out a liquid capable of nullifying the Human Torch. ============================================================ Ice Crusher (Earth-22260) Kind: item Page: Ice Crusher Formal name: Ice Crusher Type: Hammer First appearance: What If? Thor Vol 1 1 Created by: Ethan Sacks; Michele Bandini Reality: Earth-22260 Origin: Jotunheim; Magical Place of creation: Jotunheim Current owner: Thor Odinson Previous owners: Laufey; Unnamed Frost Giant Chieftains Notes: It bears mentioning that the appearance of Ice Crusher differs in its depictions; whilst it appears as described above in the pages of What If? Thor Vol 1 1, on the cover, it appears instead as a Mjolnir-sized weapon consisting of a leather-wrapped shaft of metal with translucent ice frozen into a crude striking head at one end. History: ===Overview===; Ice Crusher is an enchanted warhammer crafted by the Frost Giants to serve as the traditional/ceremonial weapon of their chieftains on at least one version of Jotunheim. Wielded by the Laufey of that reality, it bears the souls of a hundred generations of Frost Giant kings, and is steeped in their magic. Having conquered his reality's version of Asgard and scattered or slain almost all of its denizens, Laufey ultimately decides to give Ice Crusher to his adopted son, Thor, as he views the adopted Agardian to be a worthier recipient for it than his own stunted, sorcery-wielding child, Loki. When Laufey is slain by Loki, Thor takes up Ice Crusher as his own, formally claiming the position of ruler of Jotunheim.; ==Properties==; ===Appearance===; Ice Crusher is a brutal, primitive-looking weapon, apparently fashioned from either a blue-colored, highly reflective steel or from a supernaturally durable ice. Much like the Mjolnir wielded by other versions of Thor, it consists of an unadorned, rectangular block attached to a handle wrapped in leather. Unlike Mjolnir, one of Ice Crusher's striking faces is comprised of uneven spikes, giving it a jagged, roughly-forged or shaped look; these spikes give it a more brutal ability to inflict damage on its wielder's foes. Whilst its handle is of medium length, allowing it to be used as either a one-handed or two-handed weapon, it is scaled for a Frost Giant, and as such, Thor must wield it in both hands - not due to strength issues, but for greater balance and control, as otherwise it becomes unwieldy.; ===Powers===; Ice Crusher's precise powers are unknown, beyond being a powerful weapon that can slay magical creatures. One known ability is that it grants its bearer the power to project magical blasts of intense cold, so potent that one such blast unintentionally slew Thor's mother, Freya, when she pushed Loki out of its way only to be hit herself. It can also serve as a conduit for Thor Laufeyson's own innate powers as the God of Storms, allowing him to summon and command both blizzards and his traditional thunderstorms, leading to his adoption of the moniker "God of Winter". ============================================================ Idol of Death Kind: item Page: Idol of Death Formal name: Idol of Death Type: Idol First appearance: Marvel Mystery Comics Vol 1 21 Created by: Carl Burgos Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Presumably somewhere in Egypt Place of destruction: A New York City subway tunnel Previous owners: A New York museum, Prince Itor History: The so-called "Idol of Death" was an ancient artifact that would endow a member of the line of Ancient Egyptian pharaohs with the "power of all the pharaohs". When Prince Itor, a person who was descended from the pharaohs, heard that the Idol of Death had been found and was now on display in a New York museum, he planned to steal it and acquire its power.; Despite interference from the Human Torch and Toro, Itor was able to take the Idol and transformed into a green-skinned being with the power to control the minds of others. After Itor fled into a subway, he was found by the Human Torch who destroyed the Idol with his flame powers. Itor returned to normal and attempted to escape the subway train, but he landed on a third rail and was electrocuted to death. ============================================================ Idol of the Nameless One Kind: item Page: Idol of the Nameless One Formal name: Idol of the Nameless One Type: Idol First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 1 183 Created by: Roy Thomas; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Kenneth Ward History: Visiting his weak friend, Strange learned that while Kenneth was exploring the Himalayan mountain range, he found an Idol and that he had been haunted and ill ever since. Realizing the "hired help" were really demons under the employ of the Undying Ones, Strange battled them and eventually killed them by exposing them to sunlight. The effort was too little too late, as Kenneth died during the battle. However, Stephen vowed to stop the Undying Ones' evil from polluting the earthly realm.; Traveling to Kenneth Ward's house, Namor was greeted by someone claiming to be his daughter Joella. With her aid, Namor found the Idol, however it turned out that Joella was really a demon in their thrall. Dr. Strange appeared and the two defeated her, however her pet cat also was a demon and used the Idol to open a portal to unleash the Undying Ones on Earth. ============================================================ Hyperspace Radio Kind: item Page: Hyperspace Radio Formal name: Hyperspace Radio Type: Technology First appearance: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol 2 40 Created by: Ryan North; Derek Charm Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull History: Hyperspace Radios can be small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand.

Each Hunterbot was controlled remotely by one of the Great Hunt's participants from the safety of the Plaza Hotel using a VR headset.; A feature of the Hunterbots that went unmentioned to its users was that the virtual link to the drone could not be severed, and their pilots would feel pain whenever their unit was damaged, being at the risk of dying if their Hunterbot was damaged too much. Additionally, Kraven and Arcade facilitated the Hunter's prey a Hunter Killer to disable the robots' defenses. This was set up with the intent to teach the would-be hunters the dangers of a true hunt.; When Spider-Man confronted Kraven, the hunter used the Hunterbots as a bargaining chip to make the hero kill him in order to shut down the androids, putting the hunters out of harm's way. Once Spider-Man convinced Kraven to recognize the value of compassion, the hunter ordered Arcade to disable the androids.; ==Properties==; The Hunterbot is a near-indestructible synthetic android modeled after Kraven the Hunter, possessing augmented reflexes, superhuman strength and advancing targeting/tracking software. They are controlled by its users with an advanced virtual reality control unit that connects directly to their cerebral cortex. By design, damage inflicted in the Hunterbots can be felt by its user, which can cause death to a Hunterbot's pilot if their unit is severely damaged. The Hunterbots were also made to be susceptible to the Hunter Killer, a device capable of disabling a drone's defenses, armament, and its connection to the pilot.; Each Hunterbot is customizable with millions of weapons from Arcade's arsenal database, from a bow and arrow to bleeding-edge A.I.M. blaster cannons. A Hunterbot can also be altered cosmetically. It can be equipped special costumes, emblems and even social media handles. ============================================================ Hyper Cooling Unit (Earth-121698) Kind: item Page: Hyper Cooling Unit Formal name: Hyper Cooling Unit Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four (2005 film) Created by: Michael France; Mark Frost Reality: Earth-121698 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Place of destruction: New York City Current owner: Victor von Doom; Von Doom Industries; } Model: Unique Version: Unique History: Victor von Doom used this to freeze up Reed Richards. ============================================================ Ichors Kind: item Page: Ichors Formal name: Ichors Other aliases: Bladed Bow; The Blades of Ichor Type: Weapon First appearance: Age of Ultron Vol 1 10 Created by: Joe Quesada Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Angela Previous owners: Meresyn Alternate owners: Angela (Earth-61449) Properties: Ichors is a liquid metal, double-edged scimitar that can take the form of any bladed weapon.

It is run by an operating system called "J.A.R.V.I.S.". Andros remarked that when comparing Tony's armor and his together, it is like "a calculator competing against a supercomputer". His suit has the following capabilities:; Superhuman Strength: It enhances Andros's strength immensely. The armor can hold up a helicopter without much effort.; Superhuman Speed: It is capable of moving at blinding speeds.; Enhanced Durability: The armor can take an extreme amount of damage without being scratched at all.

They form a circuit, meaning that mastery over the aspect of each Infinity Stone allows for better exploit of another. Assembled together, they create a positive feedback loop, granting the user infinite power, although they only work in their native universe. The gems are also sentient. In unison, the Gems exceed cosmic beings like Eternity in power. In fact, the Gems allowed Thanos, Nebula, and Adam Warlock to defeat almost all of the universe's major cosmic entities at the same time with ease. The only beings that have overcome the Gems together are the Living Tribunal and God Emperor Doom via the power of the Beyonders.; Power Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of mind. Increases strength and durability, enhances and bestows virtually any known superhuman ability, panders to energy manipulation. It also supplies the other gems with their power/energies.; Space Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of power. Allows travel through space, mainly via teleportation. Able to interfere with the motion of other objects and possibly breach between dimensions.; Time Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of space. Allows for time travel; Reality Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of time. Alters all of reality; Soul Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of reality. Observe, attack or even steal a being's anima or spirit. Also used to revert individuals to their natural state.; Mind Stone – Powered by the user's mastery of soul. Near-limitless psionic/psychic abilities including empathy, telepathy, and telekinesis.; Death Stone - Powered by the user's affinity with death. Awareness of every individual about to die and their cause of death, and death inducement.; The Gems give their user virtual omnipotence, as well as omniscience as detailed to cosmic awareness. The user gains the power and status of a cosmic being above likes of Death and Eternity, but below that of the Living Tribunal. Thanos with the Gauntlet was able to usurp Eternity's role in the universe. Notes: The colors of the other two additional (seventh and eighth) Infinity Gems in the Ultimate Universe are not exactly clear. The Mind Gem was blue. The two Gems in the Infinity Gauntlet in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s possession were green and purple. The Gem in possession of Commander Crimson was red (while it wasn't identified as the Power Gem, it featured the same abilities). The Gem found in a New Mexico Hydra outpost was light-purple. The Gem found in the Moon was white. However, when the Infinity Gauntlet is shown with the Gems recovered by the Invisible Woman (which are every Gem introduced so far except the Power Gem), the light-purple and the white Gems are instead orange and yellow. A second red Gem is retrieved by Quicksilver from the Maker's Dome. The Gem extracted from Tony Stark's mind is orange. When Iron Man assembles all of the eight gems, they appear to be red, yellow, purple, green, white, orange, and two blues.; In the original story describing the origin of the Stones, the Stones came into existence following the suicide of the cosmic being known as Nemesis.; ===Gem Protectors===; Originally, the Infinity Gems were protected by what would be known as the Infinity Watch after Adam Warlock won the Infinity Gauntlet and was put on trial by the Living Tribunal, being found too mentally unstable to handle the power. The Infinity Watch remained until the gems disappeared. Each member was selected by Warlock based on their unwillingness to use the Gem's capabilities or inability to either access any of it's power or full potential.; Power Gem - Drax the Destroyer; Space Gem - Pip the Troll; Soul Gem - Adam Warlock; Reality Gem - Thanos; Time Gem - Gamora and later Maxam. While Gamora was chosen due to her skills, she was later replaced by Maxam after leaving the Infinity Watch.; Mind Gem - Moondragon. Chosen because her previous failures in life and lack of self-confidence would disallow her from exploiting its full potential. However, safeguards were made to ensure she couldn't abuse its powers. One of them included not being able to read the mind of those within the Watch.; The gems were later protected by the Illuminati, and each member was given a gem to hide from anybody else. After the criminal The Hood tried to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet, the Illuminati retrieved the Gems, but switched protectors. The use of the Infinity Gauntlet to prevent the collision of Earth-616 with another Earth caused all the gems but the Time Gem, which just vanished, to be accidentally destroyed. The Time Gem later reappeared and took the Avengers on a journey through time before disappearing after Captain America used it to return to the present.; Power Gem – Namor, and Mister Fantastic before him.; Space Gem – Iron Man, and Black Bolt before him.; Soul Gem – Doctor Strange; Reality Gem – Mister Fantastic, and Iron Man before him.; Time Gem – Captain America, and Namor before him.; Mind Gem – Beast, and Professor X before him.; Following the creation of the Eighth Cosmos, the Infinity Stones were scattered across the universe, passing through many hands before finding a group of owners that became the new short-lived Infinity Watch, from whom Gamora stole all of the Infinity Stones:; Power Stone - Star-Lord; Space Stone - Black Widow; Soul Gem - Adam Warlock; Reality Stone - Captain Marvel; Time Stone - Doctor Strange; Mind Stone - Turk Barrett; During the Infinity Wars, Gamora created a pocket universe within Soul World called Warp World, unwittingly creating duplicates of the Infinity Stones that were collected by Loki and his allies. These were the final wielders of the Infinity Stones before Adam Warlock granted each gem their own soul so that they could live a life of their own:; Power Stone - Emma Frost; Space Stone - Hulk; Soul Gem - Loki; Reality Stone - Kang the Conqueror; Time Stone - Ant-Man; Mind Stone - Ms. Marvel Trivia: The term "Infinity Stone" (as opposed to "Infinity Gem") comes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Upon their return in the Infinity Countdown event, the stones were also recolored to match their MCU counterparts.; This change is attributed to the transition from the Seventh Cosmos to Eighth Cosmos following Secret Wars (2015). History: The Infinity Stones (formerly known as the Infinity Gems and the Soul Gems) are powerful artifacts that originated from the remnant of the First Firmament, the original universe, found below the Quarry of Creation and inhabited by Celestials, known as the First Celestials. That universe contains countless Infinity Stones, which get sent to other universes by the Celestials.; According to one account, the Infinity Gems came about from the cosmic suicide of Nemesis, although a later account reframed this to be just a dream.; ===Magus Saga===; The Soul Stone came into the possession of the High Evolutionary, who gifted it to Adam Warlock. The Mind Stone was discovered buried beneath the planet Deneb IV by the Supreme Intelligence. The Time Stone was used by the Gardener, while the Power Stone was found by the Stranger. The Space Stone and Reality Stone were both stolen by Thanos - one from a prison satellite, and the other from a powerful being called Xiambor.; Thanos was eventually able to steal all but the Soul Stone, but through posing as an ally to Warlock against the Magus, he was able to siphon enough energy from it to build a giant artificial Soul Stone, which he used to contain the others. He intended to destroy the universe by using the gems to destroy the stars. He was stopped by the Avengers, Adam Warlock and Captain Marvel.; ===Elders of the Universe===; The Soul Gems were believed to be destroyed, but the Astronomer discovered that they weren't. The Elders of the Universe managed to obtain all but the Mind Stone, which had finally been obtained by the Supreme Intelligence. After the Silver Surfer stole the Mind Stone away, the Elders coerced him into handing it over to them by holding Shalla-Bal and Mantis hostage.; Connecting the six Soul Gems to a device, they were able to use its beams to absorb the life energy of Galactus and transfer it to a barren planet, giving it life. Knowing that the death of Galactus threatened the stability of the universe, the Silver Surfer interfered and destroyed the machine, and the gems were lost in a black hole. Galactus also punished some of the Elders by consuming them.; Because the Elders of the Universe were barred from entering Death's realm due to prior machinations of the Grandmaster, Galactus soon found himself being poisoned from within by the Elders he consumed. To save Galactus, who asserted that only one of the gems had the power to absorb the immortal Elders' souls inside his body, Silver Surfer, Mr. Fantastic, and the Invisible Woman journeyed through the black hole to recover the gems, where Invisible Woman became possessed by the sentient Soul Gem and had her evil Malice persona awakened. She was later subdued, but the whole scheme turned out to be work of the In-Betweener so he could use the gems to destroy Galactus.; Reed, Sue, and the Silver Surfer were able to get into contact with Master Order and Lord Chaos, and the two entities agreed to aid them in stopping the In-Betweener. They then used their powers to free the Elders of the Universe who were trapped inside Galactus and restore him to full strength. Master Order and Lord Chaos then dealt with the In-Betweener before he caused any more trouble and entrusted five of the Soul Gems to the Elders of the Universe, while the In-Betweener was imprisoned by his masters and retained his Gem.; ===Infinity Gauntlet===; After being resurrected, Thanos gazed into the Infinity Well and realized the Gems' true nature, so he set out to acquire all of the Soul Gems again (now named Infinity Gems). There it was revealed that the Infinity Gems are the remnants of one of the earliest beings from the time of the universe's creation. Feeling lonely, it split itself into six different fragments. Under unknown reasons, each individual gem became associated with a particular facet: power, space, time, mind, soul and reality.; The Infinity Gems were kept by the In-Betweener and by members of the Elders of the Universe who, on the contrary, were not aware of the true essence of their Gems. The mad Titan Thanos then gathered these gems into the Infinity Gauntlet. He took the Soul Gem from the In-Betweener, the Power Gem from the Champion, the Time Gem from the Gardener, the Reality Gem from the Collector, the Space Gem from the Runner, and the Mind Gem from the Grandmaster.; Thanos used the Infinity Gauntlet to remove from existence half of the population of the universe in order to gain Death's love. In the end, Thanos was defeated when Adam Warlock was able to gain possession of the Infinity Gauntlet.; ===Infinity War===; Adam Warlock was brought before the Living Tribunal because of the danger posed by the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand. After being shown that Adam Warlock was too mentally unpredictable, he was required to surrender it. Since it was too dangerous for it to be possessed by anyone, the Living Tribunal decreed that the Infinity Gems were too powerful to be used together again. Warlock then formed the Infinity Watch.; During the Infinity War, Magus, Adam Warlock's evil persona, tricked Galactus into convincing Eternity to agree to the activation of the Infinity Gauntlet so he could conquer the universe. Magus defeated the heroes using the activated Infinity Gauntlet. Still, Adam was able to defeat the Magus when it was revealed that the Reality Gem was a fake and Adam, taking advantage of this distraction, was able to trap the Magus in his Soul Gem, though the act left Warlock in a comatose state.; ===Ultraverse===; The Gems were later stolen by the vampire Rune from the Ultraverse and dispersed throughout the Ultraverse. Several heroes and villains were also pulled into the Ultraverse, including Adam Warlock. In that universe, another gem, the Ego Gem, was found. It claimed that it was the main consciousness of the Infinity Gems, the original being and was now ready to reclaim itself. The gems gestated as Nemesis, but were defeated by the Avengers and UltraForce (alongside several alternate reality versions of the same teams). With its defeat, the Ego Gem was seemingly destroyed.; The gems were found to be back in the universe by Galactus who planned on using them to end his unending hunger. He is seen taking the gems off a vampire's skeleton (presumably Rune) that he retrieves through an inter-dimensional portal. Galactus' plan fails, and instead allows a deadly inter-dimensional parasite, named Hunger, access into the Earth-616 universe who was mentally influencing Galactus' actions all along. Thanos intervened and destroyed the gateway. After Hunger is defeated, the gems are scattered throughout the universe except for the Soul Gem, which Thanos retrieved for Warlock to get back.; ===Illuminati===; Champion would find the Power Stone and use it to give him an advantage over challengers he fought in his arena but agreed to stop using it when She-Hulk told him its a weapon, which weren't allowed during his challenges. The Power Gem later fell into the hands of Titania, before being taken by She-Hulk.; She-Hulk turned the Power Gem over to Mister Fantastic for safekeeping, which prompted Reed to seek help from his fellow Illuminati to gather the remaining gems with the objective to ensure they wouldn't cause any more trouble for the Earth. Once the gems were all brought together in the Infinity Gauntlet, Reed tried to will them out of existence, but failed. Uatu the Watcher then appeared to the Illuminati and expressed his disappointment in Reed and the Illuminati. The Illuminati then divided the gems amongst themselves. Of the Gems, Iron Man received Reality, Prof. Xavier Mind, Namor Time, Black Bolt Space, Dr. Strange Soul, and Reed Richards Power. Due to the events following the gathering of the Gems, the Illuminati disbanded for a time.; After The Hood stole three of the Gems, and while looking for the fourth one, the Illuminati gathered once more and, with the Avengers' help, stopped him. After recovering once more the six Infinity Gems, they again divided the Gems among themselves (this time, Namor received the Power; Mister Fantastic, the Reality; Professor Xavier, the Mind; Captain America, the Time; Iron Man, the Space; and Dr. Strange, the Soul gems) and disbanded once more.; The group assembled after the Black Panther discovered that the Earth was affected by the incursions, a multiversal phenomena that caused the periodical collision between realities. In an attempt to stop the the latest incursion, the Illuminati assembled the Infinity Gauntlet. Even though Captain America managed to prevent the incursion, all the gems shattered, with the exception of the Time Gem, which simply vanished.; The Time Gem unexpectedly returned some time later and transported the Avengers through time. During each time jump, the Gem returned more of the heroes back to the present until only Captain America remained, who was rescued by Iron Lad. Following a confrontation against Iron Lad and his future counterparts, Kang the Conqueror and Immortus, Captain America retrieved the Time Gem and used it to return to the present, though it vanished again afterwards.; ===Infinity Countdown===; Following the destruction of the entire Multiverse and its eventual restoration, the destroyed Infinity Gems were recreated and scattered across the universe. The Collector and the Grandmaster allied themselves with the Guardians of the Galaxy to find the stones, as they believed they held the key to learn more about the destruction and restoration of the universe. This was because from the point of view of its inhabitants, this process occurred in a blink and went mostly unnoticed, and only powerful beings such as the Elders could sense traces of the mysterious re-ordering the cosmos had suffered.; The Reality Stone (until then colored purple) emerged in Weirdworld, a sequestered dimension where it was known as the Wuxian Seed. After being shattered in a dispute for its possession, the Reality Stone took the form of a dragon-shaped aether and fled from Weirdworld. It re-emerged (now colored red) in a universe that was a dark mirror of Earth-616, where it was later found and claimed by Captain Marvel.; The Space (now colored blue) and the Mind Stone (now colored yellow) resurfaced on Earth. The former appeared mysteriously in a S.H.I.E.L.D. storage facility, with a failed attempt from Loki's part to retrieve it resulting in the gem ending up in the hands of Logan. The latter ended up in possession of petty crook Turk Barrett, who started using it to serve his own needs.; The remaining three stones appeared scattered throughout the universe. The Power Stone (now colored purple) manifested in a giant-size in the desert planet of Xitaung, where it was found by the Nova Corps. The Time Stone (now colored green) restored the ruined planet of Sakaar, where it was later found by the Super-Skrull, who planned to use the Infinity Stones to remedy the humiliation the Skrull Empire had suffered over the years. Finally, the Soul Stone (now colored orange) was located by the Magus after he forced the Contemplator to show him where it was. Magus didn't get to enjoy his success for long as Ultron / Hank Pym ambushed and killed him so he could claim the gem for himself, since he intended to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet and rewrite the universe.; The Infinity Stones quickly changed of owners. Logan left the Space Stone under the care of Black Widow; the Power Stone was reduced to a handheld-size and claimed by Star-Lord; the Time Stone was stolen from the Super-Skrull by Doctor Strange; and finally, the Soul Gem was retrieved from Ultron's hands by Warlock with Kang's help. Kang had enlisted Warlock to stop the imminent calamity caused by whomever gathered the Infinity Stones in the future.; ===Infinity Wars===; After learning that the other Infinity Stones were on the move, Doctor Strange convened a meeting between its wielders to assemble a new Infinity Watch. The parley which took place on Earth was interrupted by Gamora, who had stolen the Power Stone from Star-Lord and used it to wage war against the other stone wielders. Gamora planned to claim all the Infinity Stones as part of a plan to reunite with a fragment of herself trapped inside the Soul Gem. In the end, Gamora emerged victorious and got hold of all the stones.; To prevent opposition from her quest and to feed the being Devondra, who was responsible for the Soul Gem's hungering for souls, Gamora used the Infinity Stones to fold the universe in half and merge the two halves together before sending the new universe into a pocket dimension called Warp World inside the Soul Gem. Gamora planned to create a reality once Devondra devoured all the souls inside the Soul Gem. She also sealed Loki into the Soul Gem when he asked to be her counsel. Gamora then traveled to the God Quarry to investigate what laid beneath it as she couldn't see past it.; Gamora was unable to breach the barrier at the bottom of the God Quarry, and she was eventually confronted by Loki and his newly assembled Cosmic Avengers. Gamora had unintentionally created copies of the Infinity Stones when she brought Warp World into existence, and the Cosmic Avengers used them to escape the Soul Gem. Loki's team subdued Gamora and took the Power, Reality and Space Stones from her. Loki in turn took these stones for himself in addition to the copies of the Soul, Time and Mind Stones, thus assembling a complete set of Infinity Stones. He used the stones to send Gamora to Warp World before transporting himself to the unknown realm that existed beneath the Quarry of Creation, where he found the group of Celestials that guarded the deposit of Infinity Stones.; Loki returned from beneath the Quarry of Creation, and used his Infinity Stones to render the surplus gems inert. He handed over his set to the Cosmic Avengers so they could repair the universe. After returning to Soul World and defeating Devondra, the Cosmic Avengers joined forces with Adam Warlock to restore the universe while keeping Warp World intact within the Soul Gem. Adam Warlock then used the Soul Gem to flee Soul World with the Cosmic Avengers and his allies while Drax the Destroyer sacrificed himself to keep the portal leading to the real universe open. After sending Gamora someplace to set her on a path of redemption, Adam Warlock decided to give the Infinity Stones sentience and let them decide their destinies in order to stop the conflicts over their power.; All Infinity Stones left the Earth, save for the Time Stone, which merged with Hector Bautista, and the Reality Stone, which merged with Ripley Ryan. It is later revealed that the Power Stone was swallowed by Otherone therefore merging with it, the Space Stone merged with a man called Quantum and the Soul Stone bounded to a synthetic person called Multitude. The Mind Stone chose Worldmind, but he was inevitably killed, leaving Colleen Wing to take it.; ===Infinity Watch===; Thanos would create a new Infinity Stone, the Death Stone, after subduing his former lover Mistress Death. Wanting to activate the new Infinity Stone, Thanos sought to reclaim the other Infinity Stones, but in his quest the Death Stone left him to go to the then deceased Phil Coulson, resurrecting him as the new embodiment of death. The threat posed by Thanos caused all of the stone bearers to join together and reform the Infinity Watch. ============================================================ Inficio Aquilus Kind: item Page: Inficio Aquilus Formal name: Inficio Aquilus Type: Idol First appearance: Gambit Vol 4 3 Created by: John Layman; Georges Jeanty Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Order of Frater Inficio Place of creation: Northern Italy Current owner: X-Men Previous owners: Morgan Penrose; Gambit; Jack Jessup; Alphonse; Orlean Cooper History: The Inficio is a deck of tarot cards created by the Order of Frater Inficio 700 years ago in northern Italy. The Order was in charge of an insane asylum, and they used their position to study the ravings of the mad to coalesce and refine the primal images that lurked in the deepest recesses of the human mind. They then spent 50 years transcribing these images onto a deck of tarot cards.; They are 82 cards in total and 26 in the major arcana, which is 4 more than in common deck. These four extra cards are extremely powerful and were too dangerous to ever been seen. One card, The Incognizable, would explode the eyes and melt the face of whoever looked at it. All of the cards are indestructible, but their magic can be lessened with holy water.; The last known owners of the cards are the X-Men; Gambit had brought the cards to them hoping the combined X-Men would find a way to destroy them. ============================================================ Inhibitor Collar (Earth-811) Kind: item Page: Inhibitor Collar Formal name: Inhibitor Collar Other aliases: Inhibitor Collars Type: Technology First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 141 Created by: Chris Claremont; John Byrne Reality: Earth-811 Properties: An inhibitor collar is a metallic device that fits around the neck of the wearer. Through electronic means, the item prevents a particular being from consciously using their super-powers, successfully neutralizing them. The effect does not seemingly harm the wearer (although headaches have been reported), but renders them powerless and susceptible to manipulation. Long-term effects of inhibitor collar usage have not been studied. History: The events leading up to the creation of this type of power inhibitor can be seen in Days of Future Past. There, a 1984 presidential election of an anti-mutant candidate, lead to the Mutant Control Act being introduced. The administration reactivated the Sentinels to eliminate mutants and other super-beings. One method of completing their programmed task was to capture defeated super-beings and neutralizing their abilities. Thus, the inhibitor collar was enforced to all those who had been incarcerated in an Internment Center. ============================================================ Inferno 42 Kind: item Page: Inferno 42 Formal name: Inferno 42 Other aliases: Inferno-42 Type: Material First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 75 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D. History: Inferno 42 is the most destructive material of all time. A single cylinder of it could lay waste to the entire island of Manhattan. ============================================================ Infinity Formula Kind: item Page: Infinity Formula Formal name: Infinity Formula Other aliases: Forever Compound Type: Drug First appearance: Marvel Spotlight Vol 1 31 Created by: Jim Starlin; Howard Chaykin Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Sir Isaac Newton Additional designers: Professor Berthold Sternberg Place of creation: Italy Current owner: Nick Fury Jr., Silver Sable Previous owners: Eric Koenig; Gabe Jones; Jake Fury; Mikel Fury; Nick Fury; Orion; Rebel Ralston; Winter Soldier History: The Brotherhood of the Shield developed various alchemical serums of different potency, each a lesser and diluted form of the Elixir of Life. Among these were the Infinity Formula, the Second Substance, and the Forever Compound. These were used by Sir Isaac Newton, the leader of the Brotherhood of the Shield, to reward or punish with different levels of immortality or mortality.; For example, the Forever Compound retains the life-prolonging properties of its parent elixir but it does not prevent the mind or body from decaying. From 1652 to 1956, Newton administered it to the French seer Nostradamus, which kept him alive and his prophetic gifts intact for centuries, but his mind and body withered away. The real Elixir of Life was positioned in front of him to pressure the seer into giving Newton his desired prophecy.; During World War II, American soldier Nick Fury was gravely injured in France. He was saved in part due to Professor Berthold Sternberg's Infinity Formula. Fury had to be inoculated by the serum every year or he would age dramatically. Since Fury's first inoculation, the Colonel had to pay a blackmail price to Sternberg every year to acquire the serum. The Infinity Formula substantially slowed his aging process, and Fury was thrust with a double edged sword: although his life was saved, the consequences of the Infinity Formula would haunt him throughout his life as he would see many friends age and die, as well as become the target of various villains seeking his secret. Dr. Sternberg himself was not immune to taking advantage of Fury's delicate situation, basically holding Fury's life for ransom starting in 1946, every year through 1976 by charging Fury a high fee for more of the serum.; However, Steel Harris killed the Professor and took possession of the serum. He decided to blackmail Fury even further by making demands to become immersed in SHIELD and other National Security briefings. Nick found Harris in Las Vegas and battled him and his minions. Even though the Colonel defeats Harris and his thugs, the future indeed looked bleak for Fury as he began to incredibly age (from not receiving an inoculation of the Infinity Formula). However, the timely intervention of Val de Fontaine saved the day. Fontaine had previously liberated the serum from its captors and inoculated Fury just in time to save his life.; During the War of the Serpent, Bucky Barnes was near-fatally injured by Skadi. Fury opted to bequeath the final dose of the Infinity Formula in his possession to save his life. Shortly afterward, Fury's secret son Marcus Johnson became targeted by the would-be world conqueror Orion. Since he had been conceived after Fury was first administered the Infinity Formula, it had become part of his DNA and his body produced it on its own. Fury intercepted Orion's attempts to capture his son but ultimately failed and was kidnapped. Orion forced a blood transfusion from Fury to temporarily rejuvenate himself as a stopgap measure until they captured his son, but Johnson ultimately killed Orion and saved his father. With the lingering traces of the Infinity Formula in his blood eventually breaking down, Fury rapidly aged.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===What The--?! (Earth-9047)===; Nick Furious retained his youth by using this secret chemical. He gave his friend Some-Dumb Dougan a copy of the formula so that Dougan could retain his youth too; otherwise Dougan would have insisted on being near Furious during the latter's retirement to see if he could be still young as a side effect. An A.I.M. agent impersonated a redheaded female tourist in order to intrude on a guided visit to SHEESH and inconspicuously tried to question Furious about the catalyzer of the formula, but Furious refused to answer. ============================================================ Imaginator Kind: item Page: Imaginator Formal name: Imaginator Type: Stone; Teleporter First appearance: Sleepwalker Vol 1 1 Created by: Bob Budiansky; Bret Blevins Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Sleepwalker Previous owners: Cobweb ============================================================ Infinity Well Kind: item Page: Infinity Well Formal name: Infinity Well Type: Structure First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 3 38 Created by: Jim Starlin; Ron Lim Current owner: Mistress Death History: The origin of the Infinity Well is unknown. It first appeared as a tool of Thanos, used to help him contemplate his plans and long-term schemes. ============================================================ Infinity Gauntlet Kind: item Page: Infinity Gauntlet Formal name: Infinity Gauntlet Other aliases: Infinity Claw; Infinity Goat-Let; Infinity Mitten; Mechfinity Gauntlet; Wishing Box Type: Gauntlet First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 3 44 Created by: Jim Starlin; Ron Lim Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Thanos Current owner: Earth-616: Illuminati; Earth-199999: None Previous owners: Thanos; Adam Warlock; Magus; Mr. Fantastic; Iron Man; Nebula; Captain America Alternate owners: Gary; Hulk; Thanos Model: Unique Properties: Infinity Gems: When the Infinity Gauntlet is complete, each stone grants it the following abilities:; Time Gem: Total control over all aspects of time including time travel, stopping time, slowing down or speed up the flow of time and to accelerate or slow down ageing.; Space Gem: Limitless manipulation of space, allowing for teleportation, dimensional manipulation, the creation of wormholes, etc.; Soul Gem: Limitless manipulation of souls both alive and dead also has shown to be able to evolve or devolve a beings physical self as well as their mental capacities.; Reality Gem: Locally or universally alters the natural laws of the universe to the wielders will.; Power Gem: Controls all of the power in the universe. It can be used to augment or inhibit any force.; Mind Gem: Taps the user into the universal consciousness, allowing for unlimited manipulation of psionic powers including telepathy and telekinesis.; Nigh Omnipotence: The Infinity Gauntlet granted virtual/nigh-omnipotence to its wearer. Even the combined powers of cosmic beings like Eternity, the Watcher, Lord Chaos, Master Order, Mistress Love, Sire Hate, Kronos, the Celestials, Death, Mephisto, Epoch, the Stranger, and Galactus made up only a small fraction of the Gauntlet's power. The only known beings with power exceeding that of the Gauntlet are the Living Tribunal and the One Above All, and God Emperor Doom with the power of the Beyonders. When Thanos possessed the Gauntlet his anger turned into a wave of energy that at 2% of its full strength caused the west coast of the United States of America and Japan to sink underwater, tidal waves on the east coast of the United States, and caused the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard to shatter, trapping Odin, Zeus, and the other members of the Council of Godheads there.; One thing the Infinity Gauntlet cannot do is be used to destroy itself. Trivia: Tony Stark, Iron Man, was the first human to use the complete Infinity Gauntlet. Reed Richards, Mister Fantastic, wore it previously, but without using it. History: ===The Snap===; It was gathered by the Mad Titan Thanos as he took the gems from the Elders of the Universe that had originally carried them. He hoped to appease his love to the entity known as Death, Thanos used the Infinity Gauntlet with all of the Infinity Gems to remove half of the population of the Universe.; ===Adam Warlock===; After Adam Warlock was able to gather some of the surviving heroes to oppose Thanos, Nebula briefly stole the Gauntlet from Thanos when he ascended to a level that he abandoned his body, but Warlock, Thanos and the others were able to force the Gauntlet away from Nebula so that Warlock could retrieve it for himself. However, the Living Tribunal declared that the gems were too dangerous to use together, and the Gauntlet was disassembled and the gems scattered among others. When faced with the threat of the Magus, Warlock was forced to apparently reassemble the gauntlet, but, aware that the Magus sought the gauntlet for himself, they tricked the Magus by replacing the Reality Gem on this gauntlet with a powerless replica, creating a gap in the Magus's power that his enemies would exploit. Although the Tribunal restored his old rule that the gems couldn't be used in unison once the crisis was over, Thanos' later machinations eventually led to Living Tribunal rescinding this restriction.; Sometime later, Mister Fantastic revealed to his fellow teammates of the secret group called the Illuminati that he had been collecting the Infinity Gems, and hoped to collect the remaining gems with the aid of the other Illuminati members. Despite a general apprehension, the group managed to acquire all six gems. Upon doing so, Mister Fantastic attempted to will the gems out of existence, but he was unable to do so. Faced with this failure, and a reprimand from Uatu, the Watcher, he made the controversial decision to give each Illuminati member one gem to hide so that they would never be combined and used again.; After the Siege of Asgard, the Hood tried to get all the Gems, starting by taking the Reality Gem from the Himalayas (which was kept there by Illuminati member Black Bolt), the Power Gem from the Baxter Building (kept by Mister Fantastic), and battled the Red Hulk with it. Red Hulk warned the Avengers about it, and Iron Man talked with the Illuminati about this. The Hood managed to get the Space and Time Gems, while he lost the Power Gem at the hand of Red Hulk, Namor, and Thor. After taking the Mind Gem from the ruins of the X-Mansion, the Hood traveled to the Astral Plane, where he tried to get the Soul Gem, but was finally defeated by the Avengers. Iron Man gathered all the six gems and became the first human to possess and use the Infinity Gauntlet, as he transported the Hood back to Ryker's Island and faked that he made the gauntlet disappear from existence, though he really transported it to the Illuminati's gathering place, where he divided the Gems between his teammates again.; When the Illuminati later faced the threat of the incursions, alternate reality Earths colliding with their own with the result of the extinction of both realities, the Illuminati once again assembled the Infinity Gauntlet. Galactus, the Watcher, and Thanos sensed the assembly of the gauntlet, and Captain America used it to push away the other Earth and prevent the collision. The cost of this however, was the destruction of the gauntlet and the shattering of all gems but the Time Gem. ============================================================ Infinity Sword (Earth-91119) Kind: item Page: Infinity Sword Formal name: Infinity Sword Type: Sword First appearance: Super Hero Squad Show Season 1 1 Created by: Matt Wayne Reality: Earth-91119 Previous owners: Silver Surfer; Doctor Doom History: The Infinity Sword is a cosmic weapon which was believed to make its wielder all-powerful. Doctor Doom attempted to use it to conquer the universe, but was attacked by Iron Man, causing the sword to fracture, scattering pieces of itself across the Earth. These pieces, referred to as Infinity Fractals, still held a considerable amount of cosmic power, and reacted unpredictably with anything they came into contact with. Over an extended period of time, heroes and villains battled to collect the Infinity Fractals.; When Galactus attempted to consume Earth, the Infinity Sword was reassembled to drive him away. Doctor Doom attempted to destroy Galactus with the sword, only to find that it was barely powerful enough to draw Galactus' attention. Silver Surfer revealed that the sword could only reach its full power when combined with the Infinity Gauntlet.; Silver Surfer eventually discovered that the sword's power was sufficient to sate Galactus' appetite and agreed to travel with him, using the sword to feed him in order to stop him from consuming more planets.; Over time the sword's power corrupted Silver Surfer's mind, driving him to seek out the other Infinity Gems. Calling himself Dark Surfer, he seized the gauntlet and used it to create chaos throughout the universe.; Dark Surfer was eventually defeated by the Super Hero Squad, and used his power to hide the sword and gauntlet at the edge of the universe. When the Squad arrived, they were ambushed by Doctor Doom, who sought to claim the gauntlet's power to conquer the universe. Amidst the struggle, the sword, gauntlet, and all of the Infinity Gems were destroyed, scattering across the entire universe as Infinity Fractals while also reversing the damage that the Dark Surfer has done. ============================================================ Interceptor Ray Kind: item Page: Interceptor Ray Formal name: Interceptor Ray Type: Technology First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 55 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Chinese Lead designer: Mandarin Place of creation: Mandarin's Castle, China Previous owners: Mandarin History: The Interceptor Ray could catch anything that moves, regardless of speed, and deliver the object to the Mandarin's Castle within the hour. It was used to divert Tony Stark's Observer Missiles from their targets in Vietnam, and was later destroyed by Iron Man. ============================================================ Inorganic Technotroid Kind: item Page: Inorganic Technotroid Formal name: Inorganic Technotroid Other aliases: ITT Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 349 Created by: Walt Simonson; Arthur Adams; Gracine Tanaka Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull Lead designer: Skrull Empire Properties: The Technotroid's shell is able to withstand attacks from superhumans and cosmic beings, including punches (e.g. Thing) and energy blasts (e.g. Human Torch & Silver Surfer). Once the Technotroid's shell matures, it becomes indestructible. An immature Technotroid was strong enough to slug it out with Thing and dig through rock solid soil as if it was butter. It fires energy blasts from the eyes and its three arms powerful enough to harm either the Human Torch or the Silver Surfer. While it was immature it was contained within an egg whose outer shell consisted of anti-matter ectoplasm maintained by transcendental generators which could only be stripped by mystical means. It was locked via magnetic fields, defended by spinning lasers that could cut through anything, and a self-destruct setting which would leave a 1200 mile wide crater. History: The inorganic technotroids are the Skrull empress's ultimate bodyguards. They are birthed in her chambers when she is alone and as they are imprinted by the first living thing they see, they live to serve only her until they are recycled.; De'Lila was looking for one of them, a stolen egg which was taken to become the perfect assassin, infiltrating her identical bodyguard and slaying her. With the unconscious help of Mister Fantastic and the New Fantastic Four, she found the missing egg in Subterranea, where it was being held by a female monster, so as soon as it hatched, the technotroid imprinted on her and grabbed the Skrull captain who was threatening to obliterate it with an explosive device. After the captain's death, the technotroid was cooed by the monster couple, like it was their first born. ============================================================ Incapacitating Cartridge Emitting Railgun (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Incapacitating Cartridge Emitting Railgun Formal name: Incapacitating Cartridge Emitting Railgun Other aliases: ICERs Type: Firearm First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

History: The Incapacitating Cartridge Emitting Railguns are an array of non-lethal weapons developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz based on the technology of the so-called "Night-Night Gun" and pistol. ============================================================ Inhibitor Chip (Earth-18119; Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Inhibitor Chip Formal name: Inhibitor Chip Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows Vol 1 2 Created by: Dan Slott; Adam Kubert Reality: Earth-18119; Earth-199999 Lead designer: Peter Parker Additional designers: Clint Barton, Hobie Brown, Johnathon Ohnn Current owner: Peter Parker; Phineas Mason; S.H.I.E.L.D. Alternate owners: United States Department of Damage Control (Earth-199999) History: The Inhibitor Chips dampen an individual's powers as long as they wear the device. Each chip is keyed to a certain person's DNA. ============================================================ Insulato-Shield Kind: item Page: Insulato-Shield Formal name: Insulato-Shield Type: Shield; Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 84 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Weight: 400 pounds History: This metallic full-body defense protects a person (or person-sized robot) and those near him from frontal and lateral damage. For maximum efficiency, two people (or two robots) were needed to use it, allowing for a third ally to give them support. Doctor Doom had 20 of these in his Castle for their warrior robots to use them, particularly when he expected a confrontation with superheroes or other difficult enemies.; At one point, when the Fantastic Four entered Latveria, Doom received them with specially-prepared Servo-Guards with specialized weapons to capture each of them. When Mr. Fantastic captured a guard's Electro-Shock Pistol and used it against the other guards, they protected themselves behind a Insulato-Shield. ============================================================ Instant Hypnotism Impulser Kind: item Page: Instant Hypnotism Impulser Formal name: Instant Hypnotism Impulser Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 40 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: A small device that can be incorporated in the left gauntlet of Doctor Doom's Armor, it disrupts the sense of balance of an organic victim at close range by means of a high-frequency pulse homing in on that person's ear. Doom is immune to the effect. Robots and androids are also immune to this item, but pilots of mechanical devices are not. Doom is required to manually open a hatch on his gauntlet before using it.; Doctor Doom once successfully used it against The Thing. Since then, he keeps a unit of the impulser at hand and, if required, his technicians can attach it to his gauntlet in a few minutes.; Doom used the device again later while attacking the Hydrobase, an oceanographic station inhabited by mutated humans who had been captured by Attuma and his allies, some of whom rode huge war machines called Octo-Meks. Doom was intercepted by two Octo-Meks, who halted him. Doom reacted by using the Impulser against them and forced each tank to charge against the other, obliterating both of them while Doom was protected in his force field. ============================================================ Inhibitor Ray Kind: item Page: Inhibitor Ray Formal name: Inhibitor Ray Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 246 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Previous owners: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed this device which prevented other people from attacking him directly. Specifically, the Ray broadcasted an invisible area in Doom's immediate vicinity that psychically affected anyone trying to attack Doom at point-blank range. Even the strong-willed Thing failed to attack Doom directly although theoretically some people would be able to overcome the device's effect. The effect lasted up to ten hours but it required some time to affect a subject. During this time, the subject was to be distracted.; The Inhibitor Ray, while amazingly advanced and discreet enough to be hidden in Doctor Doom's Armor -indeed its appearance is unknown- was nonetheless fragile if directly attacked, and was useless against non-organic enemies such as robots.; The Inhibitor Ray was used against the Fantastic Four as a part of Doom's so-called "Plan Epsilon". At that point, Doom had been deposed as ruler of Latveria by King Zorba and Doom himself had been trapped outside his body but Doom's loyal Doombots started Doom's pre-defined Plan Epsilon to restore him to his body, then to his throne. To do so, the Doombots summoned the Fantastic Four to the Latverian Embassy in New York City. The Fantastic Four were separated from each other, and each of the heroes faced a Doombot that pretended to be Doom himself. The robot was easily destroyed by its opponent, but the real goal was to keep the hero occupied until the Inhibitor Ray could do its effect. Only then, the recently-restored Doom appeared in front of the heroes. The Thing tried to attack Doom, only to discover he could not, and Doom explained the device. The Fantastic Four were Doom's enemies and he was in a good position to destroy them thanks to the Inhibitor Ray, but instead he recruited them as allies to recover Latveria. After succeeding at that, Doom graciously let them leave his domains, because attacking them at that moment and with the Inhibitor's Ray advantage was too petty for Doom. ============================================================ Intergalactic Treaty of Amity and Commerce Kind: item Page: Intergalactic Treaty of Amity and Commerce Formal name: Intergalactic Treaty of Amity and Commerce Type: Treaties First appearance: Captain Marvel Vol 9 2 Created by: Michele Fazekas; Tara Butters; Kris Anka Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Legislation Lead designer: Alpha Flight and Eridani History: The Intergalactic Treaty of Amity and Commerce is a treaty ruling the relations between at least Alpha Flight (Earth's first line of defense) and the Eridani.; ==Content==; ===Diplomatic Immunity===; Possibly as part of that treaty, representatives such as the Eridani delegation were supposed to have diplomatic immunity, such immunity limited to by acts such as attacks on space stations.; ===Article XIV-B===; In case of detention, the detained party has the right to see any evidence held against them. ============================================================ Intensified Molecule Projector Kind: item Page: Intensified Molecule Projector Formal name: Intensified Molecule Projector Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 20 Created by: Larry Lieber; Roy Thomas; Frank Giacoia Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Doom's laboratory at Castle Doom; Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed this technology that can be hidden within a gauntlet of his armor. Doom can optionally include it in any of the gauntlet whenever he feels he will use it, but it is not included in the default configuration of the armor.; The Projector takes synthetic molecules and throws them to a target. As soon as the intensified molecules enter in contact with oxygen, they start growing to the size of a huge stone, becoming a deadly projectile - and at the same time, one that his quite light to carry. Doom built only one unit of the Projector, which included a supply of molecules.; Doom used this weapon to attack alchemist Diablo, who was offering an alliance. Diablo easily countered Doom's attack with a chemical compound that transformed the bounder-sized molecules into harmless feathers.; Doom also used the Projector as a weapon when Prince Rudolfo and his forces attempted a coup at Castle Doom. At that point Doom was confronting Rudolfo's alien ally the Faceless One and the later's minion Doomsman. Doom took mind control of the Doomsman and both of them attacked the Faceless One.

History: The Immortus Engine was a time machine used by the Maker to reshape the history of Earth-6160 to his image.

The two built the second Immortus Engine, but when Stark delivered it to the Maker, Richards snuck into the City's mainframe and deactivated its temporal shield, giving Kang and his army a window of opportunity to strike from the future. Stark used the second Immortus Engine to defeat both the Maker and Kang, causing the City to close itself off from the rest of the world. Richards managed to escape beforehand with the original broken Immortus Engine, and took it to Howard's son Tony so that he could repair it.

Iron Man is capable of lifting massive weights like water tower silos, train cars, support beams, helicopters, and steamrollers with minimal effort. At maximum power, Iron Man can lift an entire crane, but just barely.; Superhuman Speed: The armor is capable of moving and reacting at high speeds, even when it's not in the air. His reaction time increased after Tony took the Extremis serum.; Enhanced Durability: The Iron Man suit is extremely resistant to all kinds of punishment. The Mark I can withstand heavy arms fire, electrical shocks, fire, extreme temperatures, high-powered lasers, heavy impacts, energy blasts, and such with only minimal damage. The Mark II is now more durable than his last suit. It even has refractory coating in the helmet that can reflect immediate-strike repulsor rays. It is made from an advance polyresin iron that Tony had made stronger. It can withstand even the most powerful attacks.; Flight: The armor can hover through the use of boot jets and it allows him to fly at incredible speeds. The jets provide enough power to help lift an entire crane. The jets are even fast enough to fly into outer space in only a few moments. The Mark II's gyro stabilizers are better than the ones in his old suit, making it more agile and stable while in the air. This armor is capable of flying to space and most probably can fly underwater.; Repulsor Gauntlets: The gauntlets have many functions like:; Repulsors: They are concentrated energy beams that he ignites from the ports on his gauntlets. They can be emitted as constant beams or rapid beam fire. They are based on magnetic principles and they are designed to repel standing structures with great force and can be amplified to vaporize and disintegrate matter. The repulsors of the Mark II have become stronger than the Mark I.; Force Field: The repulsors can generate a spherical energy shield around the user and others near him. The shield itself is made out of repulsor energy. The force field can be expanded from the suit to repel or blast any object or energy from all directions. The Mark II can now form a force field around a targeted person or object from a distance, containing it inside the field. The force field at full power and when power is rerouted to it is strong enough to contain an explosion that would wipe out the entire Eastern Seaboard. It can also be used to suspend a target in the air. It is especially powerful when power is rerouted to it and can withstand any attack.; Secondary Propulsion: In addition to his boot jets, Iron Man has another set of propulsion in his repulsor ports.; Flamethrowers: The gauntlets have built-in flamethrowers inside the wrists. The flames are so strong, they can overpower the cold generation powers of Blizzard or Mandarin's fifth ring in moments.; Sonic Disruptors: This function was adapted from the Arctic Armor. The gauntlets can switch to special sonic disruptors that can release a sonic wave that knocks a person unconscious. It was also used as a concussive wave to destroy incoming rockets.; Sonic Cannons: The disruptors can also change to sonic cannons to be used offensively on opponents to assault their hearing or to shatter diamond-hard crystals.; Unibeam: This is a stronger version of his repulsors which is emitted from power source on the chest. It can destroy or overwhelm almost anything in its path. However, it rapidly drains the suit's power, so Iron Man only uses it sparingly. It can also emit a sonic wave.; Rocket Launchers: The Mark II has small, but powerful rockets hidden in the shoulders. Stark says that they're accurate up to 2,000 feet.; Magnetic Manipulation: The suit can manipulate magnetic fields to move or deflect small, metal objects.; Sensor Systems: This allows the wearer to see and scan everything in front of him on the Mark II HUD.

It can also hack into any form of computer.; Life Support: The armor can sustain the wearer's life in hostile environments for an indefinite period of time. The Mark II's life support was implied to even help the pilot's natural healing process if he's hurt.; Comm Systems: Its communication systems allow it to talk to the user of the Armory computer terminal, talk to War Machine and Rescue, scan the news and police reports, hack into radio frequencies, and establish a cellphone connection to the person on the other line or three-way.; ===Other Capabilities===; Voice Filter: This is used to hide his true identity. The voice modulator slightly deepens his voice and gives it a mechanical filter. The audio can be shut off remotely and it also can be routed so that the person in the Armory terminal can speak through the armor.; Power Reroute: Iron Man can re-route his power from his systems to boost other suit functions, like strength, jets, repulsors, force fields, the unibeam, etc. When power is rerouted to the force field it can withstand even the most powerful attacks. When power is rerouted to the Unibeam it can destroy even the most powerful enemy.; Satellite Tracking: The armor can connect to a global satellite tracking system to locate anything or anyone on the planet.; Remote Control: The armor can be piloted remotely from the Armory computer terminal, another Iron Man armor, and from Stark's palm pod.; GPS Signal: Each component of the armor, like the helmet has a GPS signal that can be tracked.; Negator Packs Dispensers: The gauntlets have hidden compartments that hide his Negator Packs to use on enemy battle-suits.

It can even deliver electric shocks to anyone who touches it. It also deactivates the armor's GPS signal.; Arc Light: The suit's chest power core can emit a search light.; Extremis virus Link to Armor: Since Tony took the Extremis serum, he has a bio-cybernetic link with his armor and all digital technology, like it was another extension of his body. His simple thoughts allow him to control his armor's functions, allowing him to operate it faster and more efficiently. He can control the suit, its components, and his specialty armors with his mind without touching them, even when he is far away. He can also control any type of digital technology and computers, no matter how far the range is.; Storage Compartments: On the right hip side, it opens a radiation-proof, high-density, lead-lined storage facility for containing small items, such as the Makluan Rings. They are also shielded from detection technology, even one made by Doctor Doom. Iron Man calls them "super-pockets". History: The Iron Man Armor Mark II is the latest and most powerful Iron Man Armor yet. Tony Stark uses it to replace the Iron Man Armor MK I. It is also called his Extremis Armor since he took the Extremis serum.; After the Mark I armor was destroyed by Whiplash, he broke out his newly made Mark II armor. It is a stronger, faster, and better version of the original suit.; Tony took a tech-based version of the Extremis virus drug used by Mallen to increase his biology, fix his damaged heart, enhance his biology and reaction time, and gain technopathic connectivity with all forms of digital technology. He can control his armor and suit up without touching it, even from a distance. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK I (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK I (Earth-1610) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK I Other aliases: Tin-can prototype Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Ultimatum: Spider-Man Requiem Vol 1 1 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Mark Bagley; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-1610 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Anthony History: This is the first Iron Man armor Tony Stark ever created.

His friend Helmut Gruler discovered Schneider's hidden laboratory and the battlesuit of Schneider's design. Schneider had hoped the armor could be used by a German champion if Adolf Hitler was ever ousted from power, or, if necessary, by an anti-Nazi German who would fight against Hitler. Gruler decided to wear the armor himself, calling himself the Iron Cross, hoping to fight, not against the Nazis, but for his fatherland, right or wrong. As the Iron Cross, Gruler kidnapped Schneider, hoping to force him in to making those improvements to the armor. The armor provides protection from physical and energy attacks and enhances his strength, endurance and durability. His armor has boot jets which allow him to fly and has its own air supply and is capable of limited space travel.; After living to be over 100 years old, Gruler relied on the Iron Cross armor to sustain his life. Nevertheless, Gruler remained a valuable member of the V-Battalion's inner circle, often participating in active missions such as their investigation into the activities of the terrorist organization Hydra, whose leader, Baron Strucker, was trying to take control of the the world using mind-altering nanotechnology. In order to stop the satellite machinery controlling the nanotechnology, Gruler discovered that it required a very precise amount of energy to do so.

In a misguided effort to protect the Young Avengers, Cap, Iron Man and Jessica had Iron Lad remove his armor and locked the young heroes in a safe room while lying that it was part of a training exercise. They escape with help from Kate Bishop and Iron Lad was once again able to don his armor. Unfortunately, Kang the Conqueror had arrived and could use [[Kang Armor|; his own armor]] remotely control the Iron Lad armor. With time destablizing around them and his friends under attack, Iron Lad removed the his armor to attack Kang. However, the stored brain patterns, emotions, and memories of Iron Lad and the Vision's original operating system merged together into a new sentient consciousness inhabiting the armor and acting on its own.

Doom could use it to cut objects or to fire a short-range bolt of ionic energy. The ionic blade could be hidden in the right gauntlet of Doctor Doom's Armor. Unfortunately it had limited power and became useless after not many uses. Doom decided to build several units of this item, keeping one at each of his several castles.; Doctor Doom used this device in combat against the Red Skull in the surface of the moon. The Skull, who had looted Doom's castle and taken another Ionic Blade, also had the advantage of an aerial single-person craft with a force field and he had already damaged Doom's armor. Doom however noticed that the force field did little to protect the belly of the Skull's vehicle: He took the Ionic Blade and cut through that part when the Skull approached him, thus destroying the vehicle and exhausting the power of the Blade in the process. The Skull's helmet was slightly cracked in the crash. However, the Skull revealed another Ionic Blade and bolted Doom, damaging his armor's chest plate. Doom protected himself with another of his devices, the Freeze-Unit, then wrestled the Skull. Doom led the Skull's bolts away, causing a landslide that buried the Skull, leaving the Blade away from his hand. Doom however had escaped the collapse; seeing that the Skull was trying to get the Blade, Doom kicked it out of his reach.

Iron Man and Thor were merged together to become Stark Odinson, the prideful son of Asgard's Chieftain Executive Howard Odin. In order to punish his son's hubris, Howard stripped him of his godhood and banished him to Midgard with no memories. The amnesiac Stark only possessed intuitive knowledge of Asgardian technology, and put it to use to become an industrialist under the identity of Sigurd Stark.; Stark became embroiled in the plans of the Dark Elf-King Malekith, whose alliance with Stark's resentful adoptive brother Stane led him to orchestrate an attempt on Sigurd's life. Stark was ambushed and poisoned by a squadron of Dark Elves, but their commander Krimson Kurse ordered them to keep Stark alive and had him work with another prisoner, the weapon-smith dwarf Eitri. Stark and Eitri conspired to forge a suit of armor to grant Stark the power and protection necessary to take down their captors. When finished, the runes on the suit's chest plate also stopped the poison flowing through Stark's veins from reaching his heart and reversed its detrimental effects. When Krimson Kurse approached Eitri's forge, the dwarf decided to sacrifice himself to buy Stark enough time to regain his strength. Before leaving to his death, Eitri unveiled to Stark the final piece of the suit, a hammer forged from cold iron which acted as the key to unlock the full power of the armor. Stark suited up as the Iron Hammer, and defeated his captors before taking the fight to Malekith and liberating Asgard from his assault.; ==Properties==; The design of the Iron Hammer Armor consists of a hybrid of Midgardian technology with that of the other Ten Realms, derived from the intuitive knowledge on Asgardian technology that Stark kept when made amnesiac. The runes engraved in the suit's chest-plate acted both as a power source and a method by which the advance of the poison in Stark's body was reversed as well as the detrimental effects caused by it, like Stark's crippled leg. The suit mainly provides enhanced endurance and durability, allowing Iron Hammer to tangle with foes like Krimson Kurse and Malekith and withstand powerful attacks like a concussive blast from the Vanaheim-Ring.; The final piece of the armor which unlocks its full power is Mjolniron, a hammer made of cold iron. The hammer can be used to release powerful electrical discharges and concussive blasts, and also absorb energy. The armor features an operative system named H.E.I.M.D.A.L.L. with an infallible targeting system, which Stark gloated could see for him if he were blinded. The suit itself blurs the lines between science and magic, allowing Stark to create such things like the B.I.F.R.O.S.T., an idea Stark had just conceptualized when H.E.I.M.D.A.L.L. interpreted its creation as a command to execute. The suit's helmet can additionally seal itself and provide its user with a supply of ten minutes of air. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK LXXXV (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK LXXXV (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK LXXXV Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Endgame Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Tony Stark Previous owners: Tony Stark Model: 85 Version: 1 Notes: The main idea behind the design of the MK LXXXV was to take the design aesthetic Phil Saunders had established for the MK L and add a touch of the Classic Iron Man Armor from the comics, this was mostly achieved through the suit's colorway, with the pronounced use of gold in the arms and legs.; The MK LXXXV was designed during post-production of Avengers: Endgame. Iron Man was originally planned to wear the MK L for the film. History: Tony Stark started designing the eighty-fifth and final Iron Man Armor sometime following the traumatizing events of the Avengers' battle against Thanos. It represented a further exploration of Tony's use of nanotechnology for the creation of his suits. As he did for the Mark L, he attached a removable arc reactor in his chest, where the suit's nanites were stored.; Tony suited up in the MK LXXXV when he traveled back in time to 2012 to the Battle of New York with Captain America, the Hulk and Ant-Man in order to steal the Time, Mind, and Space Infinity Stones. He used to reach the top of the Chrysler Building, from where he observed the Stark Tower penthouse to monitor the movements of 2012's Avengers. He then flew in and out of the bulding using the armor. He used the suit again in order to break into a secure vault in 1970 at Camp Lehigh, and again back in the present while the Avengers assembled their own Infinity Gauntlet.; They were interrupted, however, when Thanos attacked the Avengers Compound. Tony wore the MK LXXXV into battle and fought among the Avengers' ranks, including the revived Avengers who had been killed in the Blip, such as Doctor Strange; Black Panther, and Spider-Man, along with some newer faces, like Carol Danvers and his own wife Pepper wearing the armor he made for her.; It was also while wearing this armor that Tony made the ultimate sacrifice, fighting Thanos to a bitter standstill until Thanos managed to get his hands on the Avengers' gauntlet. Tony was faster, however, and unbeknownst to Thanos, stole the Infinity Stones off the gauntlet and used his nanotech to integrate them into his own armor as a makeshift gauntlet. It was then that he snapped his fingers and won the fight, though losing his own life in the process.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; The Iron Man Armor MK LXXXV continues the trend of using nanotechnology in the armors which Tony started with the MK L; instead of segmented and synergistic hard metal components, the suit is composed of an array of nanobots which can encase its user and materialize into a fully-functional armor in a matter of seconds. Unlike the Mark L, however, this armor did not fully form around its user with nanobots; it instead formed into various articulated components which would in turn click together as the rest of the suit formed. This nanobot composition made it possible for Stark to vary the hardness and flexibility of the armor's material at will, in turn allowing him to redistribute the suit's components and shapeshift MK LXXXV into a variety of tools and weapons. When the armor is not in use, its nanobots remain stored in a reservoir in Tony's chest. Like prior models, this armor is powered by an arc reactor. The suit features F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s assistance to operate.; ===Offensive Powers===; The armor possesses the default offensive capabilities of a regular Iron Man armor, namely increased strength, repulsor rays and unibeam. The strength enhancement allowed Stark to knock out and kill powerful foes like Chitauri soldiers with only a punch. He could reshape the suit's limbs into various types of repulser-powered guns to add to his array of weaponry. Stark additionally was capable of frequently releasing high-power blasts from the repulser on his chest, seemingly without draining as much energy as those kinds of attacks have in the past.; In addition to making use of the suit's hand flight stabilizers to fire repulsor blasts and rays, Iron Man could turn the suit's gauntlets into repulsor gatling guns, and materialize repulsor cannons of varying size and shape that could either form around his arm or take up an entire gauntlet. He could additionally deploy an array of focusers on his back which could be charged up with lightning from Thor's Stormbreaker or Mjolnir and then discharge an intensely powerful blast of energy. The armor comes equipped with an array of micro-missiles that are fired from the back, either individually or all at once, as well as micro-munitions. Like the MK L, this armor is capable of manifesting some of the more unorthodox weapons from Tony's arsenal, such as energy blades and knives. Perhaps the most powerful offensive capability of the armor, however, is its ability to sustain, at least temporarily, the power of all six Infinity Stones, as well as wield them in battle, though this damaged the suit and ultimately killed its wearer.; ===Defensive Powers===; In addition to the typical protection provided by an Iron Man armor, which allowed Stark to resist hits from Chitauri soldiers, Cull Obsidian, and Thanos, and being crushed the Avengers Compound, the MK LXXXV could regenerate destroyed parts in an instant a limited number of times. The suit can also be used to form shields capable of withstanding an energy discharge from the combined power of the Infinity Stones, though unlike the practical shields created using the MK L, this armor was capable of creating holographic shields which could accomplish the same goal without using up nanites. ============================================================ Iron All-Father Armor Kind: item Page: Iron All-Father Armor Formal name: Iron All-Father Armor Type: Unique Magical Armor First appearance: War of the Realms Vol 1 4 Created by: Jason Aaron; Russell Dauterman Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian; Wakandan Lead designer: Anthony Stark Additional designers: Screwbeard, Shuri Place of creation: Asgard Current owner: Odin Borson Material: Vibranium History: The Iron All-Father Armor is a suit of armor crafted through the combined efforts of Iron Man, Shuri, and the Dwarves of Nidavellir led by Screwbeard. It was presented to Odin, who was recovering from an assassination attempt by Dark Elf assassins sent by Malekith, as a more powerful alternative to Gungnir in his attempt to free Freya from her potentially fatal stand at the Black Bifrost in Svartalfheim. Unfortunately, it was not sufficient to stand against Malekith's own dark magic when combined with the Venom symbiote.; The armor functions similarly to an Iron Man Armor, including flight and repulsor capabilities from the hands and feet both. The design came from Stark, then was infused with Dwarven magic and laced with pure Wakandan Vibranium. The sigils and lines along the armor glow violet when active, with carvings visible along the point of where a beard would be. The helmet can be dissolved at will without any effort, being mystically connected to the wearer. ============================================================ Iron Duck Suit Kind: item Page: Iron Duck Suit Formal name: Iron Duck Suit Type: Armor First appearance: Howard the Duck Vol 1 30 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Claude Starkowski Place of creation: Iron Man Auto Wreckers, Cleveland, Ohio Place of destruction: Doctor Bong's lair in the Himalayas Previous owners: Claude Starkowski, Howard Duckson Material: Low-budget scrap metal Dimensions: Fits a 2'3" anthropoid individual Version: 1 Trivia: Its role-playing stats were listed in Jeff Grubb's article Not Quite the Marvel-Phile, published in Dragon magazine #96. Even if the article was admittedly about silly characters and items that were unlikely to appear in other publications, Grubb added a note specifying that the Iron Duck Suit was only included due to pressure from "Roger" (probably editor Roger E. Moore). History: Claude Starkowski, alias Claude Stark, was the penniless owner of Iron Man Auto Wreckers in Cleveland, and friends to Lee Switzler. Starkowski claimed to be a veteran of Vietnam War, where he suffered shrapnel wounds to the head, and ever since he obtained scrap transistors from the Stark Cleveland plant, as a part of their program to support veterans, which Starkowski used to create Iron Man armors as a secondary business, theoretically supplying the Avengers. Starkowski claimed that the real Iron Man did not mind Starkowski building other suits of armor for good causes, so he was building one for his nephew.; Meanwhile, in Skudge, Pennsylvania, the villain Doctor Bong challenged his enemy Howard the Duck to a one-on-one fight in 24 hours, lest Bong would destroy the Skudge hospital, with patients there (including the Duck's friends Paul Same and Winda Wester), and blame the Duck in the press. Lee Switzler was also the Duck's friend, so he took the Duck to Starkowski's repair shop. Sympathising with his plight, Starkowski adapted the half-finished armor suit for his nephew and gave it to the Duck. He also built a weapon, independent from the suit, that would negate Doctor Bong's vibration powers - a circle of sonar dishes. Switzler's strategy was for the Duck to use the armor to survive long enough until Bong was positioned within the range of the dishes. Limited in his capacities, Starkwoski had failed to install a battery in one of the dishes, which would later lead to the dish set failing; but Starkowski forgot about it until the fight had started. The Duck was reluctant to go with this plan, as he considered the armor suit to be a junk heap; but, lacking real alternatives and appreciating Starkowski's naïve but good-spirited effort, decided to go with it. As Bong's powers were sonic-based, the Duck accepted cotton balls stuck in his ears for extra protection.; Bong arrived prematurely at Skudge Hospital and started the fight. The Iron Duck Suit proved to be ineffective against Bong - even the flamethrower was useless when Bong covered himself with his gauntlet. Its gadgets provided the Duck with a chance to escape Bong throughout the hospital floors, thou. However, as the dish-based trap failed, Bong was undefeated (and deafened any witness as a side effect). In a last-ditch attempt, the Duck took from the armor's hip pod a small hammer to be used in case of mortal danger, and hit Doctor Bong's bell-shaped helmet. This activated Bong's teleportation back to his Himalayan base. Once there, Bong used his powers to peel the armor suit from the Duck, leaving the Duck naked. Bong was then defeated by his wife Beverly Switzler (incidentally the Duck's friend and Lee Switzler's niece), who had cloned Bong and then threatened to use the clones to ruin his reputation, lest Bong ceased in his attacks against the Duck.; ==Capabilities==; The Iron Duck armor was made with low-budget materials and scrap transistors, by a car mechanic. The outer shell did provide some protection against physical attacks. The armor had several hidden gadgets:; Boot-springs for extraordinary movement, allowing for vertical and (greater) horizontal movement, but an untrained user may find himself bouncing without real control. The rationale to include those was as an alternative to jets, which would have been more expensive.; Flamethrowers, with short range that allowed to hit a person fighting the user - but were not powerful enough to hurt Doctor Bong when he protected behind his gauntlet. Starkowski considered repulsor rays, but those were beyond his budget.; Chest lamp: A searchlight beam providing light at short range.; Air conditioning to keep the user comfortable, theoretically allowing the Duck to smoke while wearing the armor.; Radio to communicate with anyone outside the armor.; Transistorized windshield wipers so that the viewscreen is not blocked by water.; Whirling butt-bit, a diamond-tipped drill-bit in the lower part, allowing to generate a hole in the floor to escape.; Hip pod: Marked "in case of mortal danger, break glass", and provides a small hammer to use as a weapon.; Hidden fail-safe device, that activates the armor's magnetic uncoupler.; The cotton balls stuffed in the Duck's ears were not a part of the armor.; The armor was not immune to Doctor Bong's sonic technology, but it took him a while to disassemble it. ============================================================ Iron Cat Armor Kind: item Page: Iron Cat Armor Formal name: Iron Cat Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Black Cat Vol 1 11 Created by: Jed MacKay; Carlos Villa Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Felicia Hardy Additional designers: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Tamara Blake; Tony Stark Previous owners: Felicia Hardy Properties: The original version of the Iron Cat Armor possessed very few capabilities due to the Black Cat pushing the Nanoforge too hard to put it together quickly. The armor was brittle and bound to fall apart minutes after first being assembled. It offered no life support, missile systems or repulsors. Its only weapons were a set of claws which were powerful enough to graze the Iron Man Armor. The armor favored speed and maneuverability, and was complemented by a remote-piloting interface which allowed its user to perform maneuvers otherwise impossible if the armor was manned due to the strain of g-forces. The suit also possessed an A.I. that could provide communication systems, encrypt the armor's transmissions, and whose expert systems handled most of the flight. The armor additionally generated excessive amounts of electromagnetic interference, which prevents enemy targeting systems from getting a lock.; Tony Stark's upgraded version of the suit increased its integrity and durability to standard levels for an Iron Man armor. He also equipped it with repulsor rays and bolts, and wrist-mounted missile launchers. The upgraded armor was also capable of releasing an electric discharge throughout its surface. The computer systems of this suit were temporarily run by a duplicate of the Madame Menace A.I.. Trivia: Black Cat Vol 1 writer Jed MacKay's initial idea for the Iron Cat Armor had the appendages stemming from the back of the helmet emulate dreadlocks. He and artist Carlos Villa eventually settled on the "veil" that simulates a ponytail. History: The Iron Cat Armor was a suit designed by the Black Cat when she infiltrated the Stark Unlimited HQ and hijacked the Nanoforge. Although she only needed to use the Nanoforge to create a dimensional resonator to supplement a replica of a device called the Randall Gate in her possession, Felicia ordered the Nanoforge to rapidly create a bespoke suit for herself after Iron Man (Tony Stark) caught notice of her break-in and was coming after her.; Hiding herself in the plenum above the Nanoforge, the Black Cat used a remote-control interface to pilot the Iron Cat Armor, taking it on a joyride to shake off Iron Man. As soon as the suit started to come apart due to its hasty construction, Felicia took it to the apartment of an enemy of hers, Odessa Drake, to threaten her. When Iron Man arrived at the scene, the Black Cat let the armor fall apart, revealing that she had never been inside of it.; Eventually, Tony rebuilt the suit and upgraded it. Sometime after this, it was stolen by Tamara Blake as part of a plan to get revenge against the Black Cat. When she reached out to Stark for help, who in turn wanted the stolen armor back, Felicia had her allies infiltrate the Nanoforge and build a backup copy of the Iron Cat painted in red and gold. She deployed this suit when she and Iron Man set up a trap for Blake which was turned on their heads by Blake's A.I. accomplice, Madame Menace. Blake subsequently teamed-up with Iron Man and the Black Cat to foil Madame Menace's plans after she double-crossed Tamara and set out to cause a global nuclear meltdown. In the process, both ex-lovers used their respective Iron Cat suits to take on a Menace-controlled Hulkbuster Armor. After Madame Menace was eradicated, Blake escaped with her Iron Cat suit, while Felicia left hers back with Stark. Tamara took her armor to Ceres Goldstein for repairs. ============================================================ Ion Charged Armor (Earth-38264) Kind: item Page: Ion Charged Armor (Earth-38264) Formal name: Ion Charged Armor Type: Technology; Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers (video game) Created by: Shaun Escayg; Morgan W.

However, Joseph, a clone of Magneto, betrayed Hexfinder and used his power to turn the low mysterium into a new metal at the cost of his own life. That new, pink, transparent metal was iozium.; The large, stalagmite-like deposits of iozium became an attraction at Lotkill: the Iozium Life Park. When the Griever at the End of All Things attacked Lotkill, its civilians evacuated to the Life Park and the iozium there seemed to offer them protection. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK LIII (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK LIII (Earth-12041) Formal name: Iron Man Armor Mark LIII Other aliases: Hulkbuster; Hulkbuster 3.0 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers Assemble Season 3 14 Created by: Man of Action Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 53 ============================================================ Iron Dynamo Armor Kind: item Page: Iron Dynamo Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Sabretooth: The Dead Don’t Talk Vol 1 3 Created by: Frank Tieri; Michael Sta.

Operating in New York City, he was determined to prove his genius, especially to the Americans and his rival, Thomas Edison. His latest creation, a high-tech suit of armor dubbed the Iron Dynamo, became the newest attraction at Dreamland on Coney Island, showcased as part of Sir Marmaduke Dix's prestigious Explorers Club. Leading up to the event the Daily Bugle reported Vanko and his "Metal Man".; The Iron Dynamo was a marvel of engineering, offering its wearer superhuman strength. Eager to demonstrate its capabilities, Vanko climbed into the armor before an awestruck audience. Among the spectators were powerful figures of the New York underworld—Victor Creed, the enforcer "Mad Dog Murphy," and his employer, Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime of Five Points. The invention caught their attention, along with that of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. As Hearst confronted Fisk, a fight broke out, forcing everyone to flee. That evening, as the Iron Dynamo was transported to Dreamland, it vanished. The empty delivery truck left only questions who had stolen it, and why. ============================================================ Ionic Lock Kind: item Page: Ionic Lock Formal name: Ionic Lock Type: Technology First appearance: Thunderbolts Vol 1 44 Created by: Fabian Nicieza; Mark Bagley Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Karl Malus Additional designers: Madame Masque Place of creation: Avengers Mansion, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Madame Masque Properties: The Ionic Lock was a dampening device created by Doctor Karl Malus in collaboration with Madame Masque used to interfere with the ionic energies energizing people infused with it. History: Mach-2 used the Ionic Lock on Wonder Man and Atlas who were being controlled by Count Nefaria, freezing their ionic energy and depowering them thus managing to defeat them, but when it was used against Nefaria himself it had no effect.; In reality, Madame Masque had given the Avengers an incomplete Ionic Lock, missing the intensifier unit, while the complete one was in her possession because she did not trust the heroes.

Trivia: In early footage, movelists, and demos for the game, the armor donned by Iron Man during his Ultimate Skill was identified as the Hulkbuster. However, later builds of the game would change the name to "Champion Buster". History: The Hulkbuster Armor was an armor created by Iron Man to take down the Hulk. However, the suit proved to be no match to the green giant who was able to destroy it. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK 91 (Earth-358) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK 91 (Earth-358) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK 91 Other aliases: Sho-Gun Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls Created by: Arc System Works Reality: Earth-358 Origin: Suit of powered armor Lead designer: Iron Man Current owner: Iron Man Model: 91 Trivia: The Sho-Gun Armor was formally introduced in social media on May 14, 2026 as the MK 782. On May 21, a correction was issued, stating the Sho-Gun Armor was instead the MK 91.; Given the influence of Gundam aesthetics from the franchise of the same name in the design of the Sho-Gun Armor, the original designation was most likely a reference to the RX-78-2 Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam, the titular mobile suit of the series that started the franchise. The second designation could be a reference to the F91 Gundam F91 from Mobile Suit Gundam F91. History: The Iron Man Armor MK 91, better known as the Sho-Gun Armor, was the suit Iron Man wore during the Challenge of the Champion. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK Unknown (Champion Buster Armor) (Earth-358) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK Unknown (Champion Buster Armor) (Earth-358) Other aliases: Champion Buster Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls Created by: Arc System Works Reality: Earth-358 Origin: Suit of powered armor designed to battle the Champion Lead designer: Iron Man Current owner: Iron Man Trivia: In early footage, movelists, and demos for the game, the armor donned by Iron Man during his Ultimate Skill was identified as the Hulkbuster.

History: The Champion Buster Armor was an armor created by Iron Man to battle the Champion. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 2 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 2 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 2 Other aliases: Iron Man Armor MK II Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 48 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 2 Version: 2 Notes: In Tales of Suspense Vol 1 50, it's shown that the armor possessed a slide rule calculator in its left arm, the most commonly used calculation tool in science and engineering before the invention of the pocket calculator. Due to the nature of the sliding timescale, it's most likely this feature is no longer canon.; This armor is known as the "Ditko Armor" as it was designed by the Iron Man artist at the time, Steve Ditko.; The prominence of this armor's "horns" when it first appeared varied depending on the artist, and sometimes it changed in a very same issue. Initially, the horns were almost non-existent. In Tales of Suspense Vol 1 50, the horns started gaining jaggedness. Depictions of the armor's "horns" after it had stopped being Iron Man's main suit were usually similar to Jack Kirby's rendition of the feature.; When the riveted helmet first appeared in Tales of Suspense Vol 1 54, it also included a line of rivets that cut the faceplate vertically through its center. These rivets were gone the following issue with no explanation, and since the comic was an immediate follow-up to issue #54, there would be no way for the rivets to have been removed off-panel. History: After a disastrous battle with the criminal known as Mister Doll, Tony Stark came to realize that the Iron Man Armor Model 1 was too cumbersome, especially in his state, which caused an excessive use of energy for the armor to simply sustain its own weight. To remedy this, Tony designed a sleeker, lightweight armor.; A brief time after donning the Model 2 for the first time, Tony designed a stronger, lighter, and more comfortable helmet for it. When Tony Stark undertook Stark Resilient, one of the models of this armor was melted to create the Iron Man Armor Model 37.; After Tony suffered an almost-fatal mental attack by the Black Lama, he created a full back-up of his mind in case he was subjected to a similar assault in the future. Having downloaded the back-up into a version of the Mark 2 armor, he then subjected himself to a short-term mind-wipe so that he would forget about the A.I.'s creation. It returned when he was subjected to the moral inversion during a clash with Red Onslaught, but Tony was able to subvert and disable it, forcing the A.I. to transfer itself into Iron Man Armor Model 7.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit is essentially a lighter, more flexible and more maneuverable version of Tony Stark's original Iron Man Armor. For example, the chestplate was reduced in thickness to a "wafer-thin" layer, and the helmet was redesigned in such a way it was so light, Stark claimed it can be barely felt it's being worn. The reduction in weight allowed Stark to add more protective devices. The parts of the suit subjected to more articulation, such as the legs and arms, used a malleable metallic mesh instead of solid metal plating. Ultra fine 3D knitting incorporated knitted motors for full motility surface.; In addition to the miniature batteries in the chestplate (with improved power-handling circuitry), the armor included additional emergency battery units in the arm and leg cuffs. A compartment in the left gauntlet revealed a energy gauge used to keep the suit's power level in check. The suit's batteries could be charged either by plugging the chestplate into any electrical source, or with the use of a built-in generator. The armor carried a spare extension cord in case its user had to recharge the armor during an emergency. In case the output of the armor needed to be increased, extra power was stored in the armor's belt pods.; A new mechanism made suiting up the armor much faster than the Model 1, which had to be completely put on manually (a process that took one minute and a half). In this armor, the only parts needed to be snapped on the body were the torso, the arm-leg "adaptors" (the cuffs of the gloves and boots), the fingers and the back of the hands, and the boots' soles. Metallic meshes were pulled magnetically from the adaptors to the other sections of the armor in less than two seconds. As easily as the suit could be slipped on, it could be slipped off. The suit is later upgraded to be able to fly on to the user and attach separate pieces via the guantlets, the boots, the torso, the underwear, and helmet.; This armor is the first to implement the trademark red and yellow color schemes. Two different helmets were used with this model. The Model 2 Mark I featured a faceplate with jagged edges at the forehead, making it appear slightly horned. The Model 2 Mark IA sported a helmet with rivets in the forehead. This helmet was stronger and lighter, featured a built-in oxygen mask (though this feature could've been present in the previous version), an emergency underwater breathing apparatus that could last for roughly 15 minutes, and oxygen filters.; The second generation of jet boots were reduced to less than one inch thick, and allowed the armor's wearer to fly long distances at superhuman speeds. However, prolonged periods use would overtax them, causing the jets to exhaust until they could be recharged. Similarly to the Model 1, this armor featured roller skates, which would be used mostly for short travels on land, in order to save energy that otherwise would've been used for the jet boots. A miniature gyroscope for flight stability was located on the left boot's top. The armor was later upgraded to handle flight in space and allow for the user to operate comfortably in the vacuum.; Miscellaneous equipment includes computer systems with radio communications (with a built-in radio antenna on the left shoulder and spare radio parts in the armor's belt pods) and sensors, a generator of high-frequency waves, powerful magnets, a drill, magnetic grapplers (to hold on to metallic surfaces), and a small diamond-edged blade concealed in the right hand thumb that can be activated by applying pressure in the finger's stud. Some of these sub-miniature devices were located in the armor's flexible belt-buckle. First aid equipment was stored within the flap of the right boot top.; ===Offensive Powers===; The superhuman strength provided by the armor allows its user to lift heavy objects with ease, to the point of being able to break the fall of a rocket with little effort at maximum power. Additional power-packs located in the suit's cuffs provide the arms an extra push. According to Tony Stark, this armor's gloves pack "twice the wallop" of the previous suit's. The armor includes magnetic repulsors housed in the palm of each glove, an electric discharge that can be fired from the armor's fingers, and an modular electro-blaster that is magnetically clipped onto the armor's magnetic wrist holder. The variable power chest spot-light is strong enough to dispel powerful energy rays, and it can still be used as a search light. An add-on allows the search light to emit UV-A light. Later versions of this armor were outfitted with repulsor technology, generating repulsor beams strong enough to instantly knock out the Teen Abomination.; ===Defensive Powers===; The shell of the suit grants its user a degree of superhuman durability, allowing them to resist from the gunfire of small arms to powerful energy blasts from Hawkeye's strongest explosive arrow tip. The armor's insulation is even capable of protecting its user from atomic explosions at a close range. The suit's miniature electromagnetic generators allows its user to create repellant magnetic force fields. The suit is, however, vulnerable to rusting, thus to chemicals that accelerate this process. The suit can also tank hits from the Teen Abomination. The suit can effortlessly survive re-entry from space.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===The Death of the Fearsome Four (Earth-2021)===; Iron Man was hired by Ben Grimm to help him track down and defeat the Fearsome Four.

This ability was achieved through the use of a defibrillator circuit and flat antenna that directly stimulated the S-A signal of Stark's vagus nerve as needed with the use of a supercutaneous high-frequency electric signal. This function was made obsolete once Stark had been cured of his condition.; The suit's shell is made of threads of mono-crystalline iron coated with tetrafluorethene plastic, knitted together using a 3D mechanical loom. Integrated circuits called "micro-modules" were created from sheets of silicon using an e-beam writer; this circuitry, that placed 200 transistors in a square inch with wiring and associated components, could be used both as a switch and amplifier. This allowed the creation of tiny power amplifiers that could generate the amounts of electricity needed for the DC motors that provided the suit with mobility. Each small motor generated around a horsepower of power. The use of pure iron protected with tetrafluorethene allowed a 200-inch per second speed. A gauntlet alone, for example, required a dozen motors. The circuits of the armor are coordinated with its user's brain waves, which allow the suit to duplicate every action of the human body. But the system is not perfect, and it requires some time to get used to it. It also employed a negative feedback body motion sensing system.; The armor's first versions were powered by a flat array of miniature batteries built into its chest plate. The batteries could be recharged by plugging the chestplate into any electrical source. Additional high-density storage batteries were later molded into shapes that fit almost all over the interior surface. The "MK 0" version of this suit, an armor hidden in Wong-Chu's abandoned base in case of emergency, was powered by a R.T. node. An automatic self-lubrication system was built into the armor, this could be used to squirt low-pressure streams of oil. The suit also possessed an internal air supply.; To help with the armor's comfortability, lamb's wool was used for interior padding. The wool was later replaced by a foamed plastic that wicked moisture away from the skin and osmotically pumped it into collection cells. There it was cooled and recirculated around the outside of the body to transport heat away from any hot spots. The combination of hard and soft parts allowed the bulky armor to be folded and unfolded like clothes, without losing its durability. However, it mandated a certain procedure in unpacking the suit so that it would fit inside Tony Stark's briefcase. The armor's alloy prevented the suit from being magnetized.; Jet boots were the armor's main transportation system. The boot turbines made use of ordinary air, drawn in through a loose weave of iron fabric, which was highly compressed and created a jet that enabled its user to fly, or make assisted leaps. The Model 1 Mark III featured the first successful sub-2-inch diameter turbine. However, the thrust-to-mass ratio was too low to allow the suit to be able to hover if its user carried something as insignificant as pocket change. The sheer size of the turbine compressor produced an ear-splitting high-frequency noise which was "about a notch higher than a mosquito and millions of times as loud," making the suit gain the nickname of "Screaming Mimi." A series of small silicon levers allowed the armor to keep flying straight and level; its wearer had to use body English to accomplish steering while flying. The "MK 0" can make repulsor enhanced jumps.; Other transportation systems included jet-powered roller skates for fast travel by land at 200 mph, a miniature jet engine and four casters that could be adhered magnetically to the armor to allow for a horizontal aerodynamic travel, like a luger, and a propeller which could be clamped into the boots for travelling on water. When he returned to the United States, Stark modified the suit into what is known as the MK II version of the Model 1 Armor. The new version included onboard O.S. (with a translator program), lenses, and heating and cooling systems. Most of these changes were also featured in the "MK 0" version of the suit. A MK III added improvement in the surface, with gold plating and a metal kilt to cover groin segments. Communication systems were also improved.; Because the armor's helmet was made of solid iron, it had almost no flexibility. Its wearer could not breathe hard, shout due to reduced jaw movement, or even puff his cheeks. The MK II version of the helmet added water-cooled padding, directional speakers which fed sounds to its user from wherever they impinged on the suit sensors, and a head-up display; Stark called this "Environment+Information." The neck piece was a very complex assembly. A series of flat, circular motors were stacked around the user's neck, and they were surrounded by thin metal sheeting which would follow their motion. Having several motors in each neck segment motivated helical screws that allowed for very quick movements and still be very strong.; Stark and Yinsen provided the armor with additional offensive and defensive capabilities to double its use as a means to escape captivity. Miscellaneous equipment includes miniature versions of different handy tools, including a buzz saw and a drill, public-address speakers, powerful magnets, detachable suction cups that allowed the wearer to adhere to smooth surfaces and are strong enough to support the weight of the armor for a few moments, an "electronic reverse-energy beam" that could redirect rays of energy, chemical crystals that could change the composition of substances, image inducers, nuclear-powered clippers, diamond-edged digging tools, a miniature "furnace" that generates heat waves, a fluoroscope, audio recorders, radio communications (enhanced by a telescoping antenna,) ear plugs, and miniature jet blowers. Some of these items appear to be stored in the suit's accessory belt, while others, such as the buzz saw, appear to be incorporated into the armor's fingers. Using the belt's panel, the armor could access the systems of Stark Industries.; ===Offensive Powers===; The suit enhances its user's strength to superhuman levels, allowing the user to pick up a man in the air easily, break through metal doors, destroy brick walls simply by walking into them, crush a cannonball with ease, tear a wall of two floors in height with one hand, and break the fall of a missile. Tony Stark also stated that the suit was capable of performing such feats like ripping the bottom of a ship with ease, knocking supersonic-speed bombers with a single punch, and breaking apart space missiles. However, the veracity of that statement is dubious, as Tony was trying to intimidate Queen Kala of Netherworld to prevent her from invading the Earth. Weaponry in the armor includes a miniature flamethrower and tear gas bombs. The armor can also redirect its electrical currency to its shell, being capable of electrocuting objects by touch. A circular device in the center of the chest is known as the "Monobeam," a portable proton beam that served the purpose of a powerful search light, but it could also be adapted for a heat ray. It only had a useful range of several yards. The "MK 0" version of the suit was outfitted with energy projection capabilities via repulsor weaponry, and can also unleash a flamethrower from a seam on its chestplate.; ===Defensive Powers===; The armor's shell provides a degree of superhuman durability, as it is strong enough to resist gunfire, the bites of animals like wild felines, the impact of a cannonball, heat, cold, energy, and acidic attacks. However, it was not protected against potential rusting from sea water. The suit is also equipped with an array of miniature electromagnetic generators that allow its user to manipulate magnetic fields for a variety of effects, including jamming and disruption of electrical equipment, and reverse magnetism, to repel metallic objects like bullets and enemy weaponry. An electrical force field could also be created to protect the armor from energy damage. The "MK 0" is durable enough to take several repulsor blasts, missiles, physical blows from the Iron Patriot and strong enough to stop its momentum powered blows.; clear; ==Sons of Yinsen==; The Sons of Yinsen built drones that were based on the 1st model of Iron Man Armor. Which had the same appearance and capabilities, with some of the same capabilities and at least one upgrade. They had flight capability and fired repulsor bolts, and were upgraded to protect them from an electromagnetic pulse. Drones which were filled with air and constructed of steel. Notes: While the addition of a metallic kilt is attributed to the golden version of this armor, Iron Man is seeing wearing one before painting the armor. Trivia: The process of suiting up without any mechanical aid takes 90 seconds. History: This suit of armor was created by Tony Stark, with the help of Ho Yinsen, when he was captured by a terrorist cell in Siancong while overseeing the testing of some weaponry. It worked as a pacemaker to keep Stark's heart beating after shrapnel from the detonation of a land mine became lodged in his chest. The armor doubled as a means for Stark to escape captivity and avenge Yinsen's death at the hands of their captors.; The suit was later upgraded into its MK II version by Stark when he returned to the United States. The most notorious change was present in the chestplate. After realizing he would need to wear that piece of the suit at all times, Stark made it lighter and sleeker. During one of his heroics, Tony soon realized the dull gray appearance of the armor terrified not only his enemies but also the innocent people he was trying to protect. Stark decided to paint its shell gold, after his date Marion Rodgers commented how Iron Man would look better with a paint job that could make him look like a knight in shining armor. The gold-plated version became the MK III, and Iron Man soon gained the nickname of "The Golden Avenger."citation needed Tony was forced to create a partial duplicate of the suit after being kidnapped to Netherworld without access to the parts of original armor other than the chestplate that was keeping him alive. In order to specifically fight the Melter, Stark built a version of the armor that replaced any iron with aluminum, so the armor could resist the villain's Melting Ray. In a previous encounter with the Melter, the armor's left arm had been easily destroyed.; Following a disastrous battle with Mister Doll which nearly killed him, Tony realized the suit was too heavy, a disadvantage that caused the suit to consume more energy than necessary to sustain its own weight. Additionally, the chestplate appeared to need recharging more often. As soon as a new lighter armor finished being assembled, Stark stopped using the Model 1. Stark briefly returned to this armor when the Model 2 was stolen by small-time criminal Weasel Wills, requiring Stark to use the older suit against the criminal. Despite the other armour being faster and more powerful, Stark was able to use the Model 1's superior endurance to wear Wills down until he could drain off the Model 2's power.; The MK II version of this suit of Iron Man armor was far from the only significant upgrade created by Stark. After losing Stark International to Obadiah Stane and subsequently joining Circuits Maximus as he recovered from alcoholism, Tony built a replica of the Model 1 as a sort of rehabilitation project. While built largely with spare parts and physically inferior to the Model 5 suit being worn by James Rhodes at the time, this version would incorporate some ideas that would later be used in the Silver Centurion suit. The most distinct difference between this "rehab" armor and the original Model 1 was the elimination of the hip-mounted power pods, a weakness Tony himself was able to exploit against the Model 5 when Rhodey, due to headaches induced by the armor, went on a rampage. Tony used this suit again to aid the West Coast Avengers against Doctor Demonicus, though he was forced to ditch the armor in the Pacific Ocean. Demonicus recovered the suit and briefly used it himself, but his lack of experience allowed him to be defeated quickly by Tony wearing components of the incomplete Model 8 and a makeshift costume.; Another version, code-named "MK 0," was secretly built later on, which incorporated repulsor weapons, a type of weaponry not implemented in Stark's suits until the Model 3. It was kept in Wong-Chu's abandoned base in case of emergency. When Tony Stark was on the run from Norman Osborn and was slowly wiping out his brain, he traveled to Siancong in order to recover the "MK 0," which was the only armor simple enough to be used in his state. Stark tried to get to Dubai, but he was intercepted in Iran by Norman Osborn, the Iron Patriot, who nearly destroyed the suit and almost killed Stark. However, Stark's allies managed to leak the coordinates of the fight to media outlets, granting the fight the media coverage necessary to force Osborn to not kill Stark in cold blood. The "MK 0" was one of the only nine suits that were recovered after Norman Osborn's fall, and its materials were ultimately scavenged to create the Rescue Armor Model 2 for Virginia "Pepper" Potts.; The Model 1 was recreated and kept in exposition in the different Halls of Armor owned by Stark. During the War of the Serpent, when Stark Tower was struck down by Skadi, Protector tapped into Stark's mainframe and controlled an army of armor that had survived the collapse, including the Model 1, to fight against Skadi, but they were easily dealt with. Another Model 1 armor was kept in the Hall of Armor at the Avengers Mansion, and one later at the rebuilt Stark Tower. When Stark temporarily moved his base of operations to Stark Island, a Model 1 was displayed there. The Hall of Armor in the Stark Tower remained there, and it even used one Model 1 as a security drone. A different Model 1 armor was brought to Petoskey Stone Diner by numerous LMDs in hopes of being reverse engineered.; When a digital copy of Tony Stark confronted the real one, who had had his morality inverted with magic, it commanded an army of Iron Man armor, including the Model 1 in both its MK II and MK III versions. Iron Man hacked into the MK III version in order to learn the location of the digital Stark's mainframe. During battle against the sorcerer dragon Sadurang, the advanced technological systems of Stark's suit became infected by magic and it transmuted into a magical armor. Unable to control the ability to cast spells the new suit granted him, Tony opted to discard the armor and return to the Model 1. The bulky suit's focus on brute strength combined with its lack of technology advanced enough for Sadurang to infect gave him the edge in battle, and he defeated the dragon.; Following the discovery that Tony's use of a bio-engineered new body with his mind downloaded into it to overcome a coma following the Second Civil War meant he was purportedly a copy of the real Tony Stark who was since then dead, Stark lost his legitimacy as a real person and was deposed of his belongings. Having embraced his nature as an artificial being, Tony became the leader of the A.I. Army, a liberation movement for artificial lifeforms, among them androids and robots, fighting for their rights in the light of increased oppression. Tony donned a makeshift recreation of the Model 1 Armor and started going by the name "Mark One." ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 3 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 3 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 3 Other aliases: Nose Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 66 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 3 Version: 1 Properties: The armor was durable enough to stay in close proximity to a burning asteroid and survive a fall from the stratosphere into the ocean floor. The armor was upgraded with more backup power to let Tony Stark live for several minutes underwater.; The Armor possesses atributes basic to all Iron Man Armors:; Superhuman Strength; Superhuman Durability; Superhuman Speed; Energy Projection; Self-Propelled Flight; The armor comes equipped with the following:; Image inducer produced holograms.; Electric bolts could be used for stunning.; The armor's surface could be heated.; Various gadgets: vapor ejector, smoke bombs, bomb pellets, a chemical kit, cutting blade, sound duplicator, and a high frequency wave generator.; Life support was improved with a longer air supply.; The armor could absorb energy from extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) and could be used to amplify certain features of the armor, an example being thruster power.; The armor included the infamous rocket skates as a back-up way of transportation.; Self Repair Notes: The 2008 "Iron Manual" states that Iron Man's Model 4 armor first appeared in Tales of Suspense Vol 1 85, but this issue actually shows the creation of Model 3 MK II (unofficial designation). The Model 3 armor continued to be used until Iron Man Vol 1 85.; The Iron Man armor, especially the models prior to the Model 3, were in a constant state of experimentation and improvement. The Model 3 distinguished itself when Anthony Stark implements a basic helmet design. The Model 2 helmet first had a horned look. The helmet mask was later riveted on flat. The Model 3 appears to be of a smooth bore motif which led to Iron Man being affectionately referred to by some of his fellow Avengers as "Shell-Head". The Model 4 removed the 'nose' and initially could be worn in a soft state under clothing which hardened and expanded when needed. Trivia: Tony says he "may have been drinking when [he] thought of" the idea of rocket skates. History: This armor was built by Tony Stark after his previous defeat at the hands of the Mandarin.; The new generation of Iron Man armors started with this model, by implementing a long time staple of the Iron Man arsenal: Repulsor Rays. Shortly after, Tony decided to give his armor more facial features, by including the infamous faceplate which included a "nose". When Happy Hogan was captured by the Mandarin while wearing this armor, Tony created the Model 3 MK II (unofficial designation) which was "strong enough to overcome the handicap of [his] newly-injured heart". Later, it was heavily damaged in a battle against The Freak, forcing Tony to create the Model 4 armor, which was not only more flexible, but also returned to the nose-less faceplate. It was briefly used by Happy Hogan and Michael O'Brien as well. When Tony Stark undertook Stark Resilient, he dismantled and melted one of the models of this armor. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 4 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 4 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 4 Other aliases: Classic Armor; Golden Avenger Suit Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 85 Created by: Len Wein; Roger Slifer; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created after previous model was heavily damaged Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Queen Division Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: James Rhodes Model: 4 Version: Various Notes: The 2008 Iron Manual states that Iron Man's Model 4 armor first appeared in Tales of Suspense Vol 1 85, but this issue actually shows the creation of Model 3 MK II (unofficial designation). The Model 4 armor first appeared in Iron Man Vol 1 85 and has more significant changes in function. History: This armor was created by Tony Stark shortly after the previous model was damaged beyond repair battling the Freak. This armor was not only more flexible, but also returned to a noseless faceplate. The armor later underwent several overhauls and was one of the longest models ever used.; Jim Rhodes replaced Stark as Iron Man for a considerable time using this armor. Happy Hogan, Eddie March, and Force also wore it on different occasions.; Despite having developed various more advanced armors since this version, Tony tends to default to a model of this armor when his modern suit has been destroyed or disabled and he lacks the time, resources or inclination to create a more advanced replacement. One example of this was when he destroyed his sentient armor and was afraid of creating a new, modern version in case he re-created the accident that gave his previous armor sentience.; During the Siege of Asgard, Tony was given a modified version of the Model 4 by Jarvis, who sent Young Avenger Speed to give it to him, and he used it to override Norman Osborn's Iron Patriot Armor. Then, during the battle with the Void, Iron Man overrode the H.A.M.M.E.R. Helicarrier and used it as a bullet to hit the Void, turning him back into Robert Reynolds before Thor killed him.; When Tony Stark undertook Stark Resilient, he dismantled and melted one of the various models of this armor. After thwarting the Mandarin's latest plan required him to destroy his existing modern armors to ensure that none of Mandarin's compromised code remained in his systems, Tony retrieved a version of this suit from the Avengers archives.; ==Capabilities==; Computer Hacking: The armor was able to hack Skrull technology.; Reed Richards praised the armor's sophistication and clear, straightforward design. Its structure was improved with 3D knitting. In addition, a force field helped keep the armor rigid. The armor used solar power (but recharged slowly without a large source of electricity), and integrated micro-circuitry. A thermocouple was used to handle extreme temperature and convert it to usable power, but it could be overloaded.; Repulsors were standard weaponry. The variobeam/uni-beam was capable of various effects. A tractor beam could be used to pull or tow objects. The most recent version of the armor was able to use pulse bolts. The shoulders could open up to unleash bullet fire. The repulsor rays could charge up into balls before firing for greater effect. Gyro-stabilizers were used in the boot jets.; Power pods were capable of various functions such as boosting other systems or being set to detonate. The armor can use the Override function, which unleashes a safe 800% to 3200% up to a very dangerous 5000% amplification of all offensive systems. This function was used to fight and defeat the Hulk, although it almost cost the user's life immediately afterward. ECM jamming was used to evade detection.; A hologram emitter created multiple images to make the armor harder to target. In addition to the sonic emitter, a voice distorter helped protect Stark's identity and could also be used to duplicate sounds. The armor could travel underground. Freon could be emitted and a built-in fire extinguisher handled internal and external fire. Finger lasers and a "sabresaw" were available for cutting through objects. The fingers could be turned into multipurpose tools for tech work. Life support was improved; the pacemaker was no longer needed after successful heart surgery. A slave circuit was added to control older suits after the incident with "Weasel" Willis. However, this was a weakness when Midas attempted to gain control of the armors.; Sensors were upgraded with a full-band transceiver, infrared, and a "life detector" that was keyed to several important personnel. The suit took a blast that destroyed a large warehouse and leveled the surrounding area at point blank range. The suit was able to tank several cutting-edge missiles and a blow from the Crimson Dynamo. The suit on its last legs, figuratively speaking, was able to fly nine hours straight, use the operative system while the user was sleeping, play a video, and take an RPG to the face before giving out. The suit is durable enough to tank repulsor blasts from Ultron and strong enough to punch him a few feet back when he is made of Adamantium.; The armor possessed circuitry later models like Extremis lacked, such as accelerators and eight to nine diodes, which Tony used alongside pieces of Doctor Doom's Armor to build a time machine with help from the Monarch of Latveria.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Marvel Adventures (Earth-20051)===; One of many armors used by Iron Man to combat evil.; clear; ----; ===MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls (Earth-358)===; Armor Utilized by Iron Man.; clear; ---- ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 7 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 7 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 7 Other aliases: Iron Man Armor Model 7; Silver Centurion Armor; Red and Silver Armor; Chameleon Armor; Iron Man Armor Mark VII Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 200 Created by: Dennis O'Neil; Mark Bright; Bob Layton Reality: Earth-616 Origin: This armor was built by Tony Stark as the next generation of Iron Man technology. Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 7 Version: 1 Notes: The Silver Centurion was designed by artist Bob Layton, who was commissioned by the Iron Man title's then editor Mark Gruenwald.; This armor, the Stealth Armor and the Hydro Armor were originally identified in 1993's Iron Manual Vol 1 1 as Models 8, 7 and 6, respectively. However, these designations did not correspond with the chronological order in which these suits debuted (Iron Man Vol 1 152, #200 and #218). In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1, their numbers are shuffled around to match the sequence in which they first appeared. Trivia: This suit is one of Iron Man's armors whose schematics are being contested by Damage Control after Tony Stark fell into a coma since the company also operates as an archival unit for metahuman technology that belongs to missing, incapacitated or deceased individuals. While Stark commonly evaded this predicament by leaving control of his intellectual property to Reed Richards, Reed had gone missing for a prolonged period of time when Stark became incapacitated.; The Silver Centurion is referenced in all three MCU Iron Man films:; In Iron Man, when J.A.R.V.I.S. renders a concept of the Iron Man Armor MK III's color scheme, the suit sports the colors red and silver for a brief moment.; In Iron Man 2, the color scheme of the the Iron Man Armor MK V is based on that of the Silver Centurion.; In Iron Man 3, the Silver Centurion is adapted into an armor of its own, the Iron Man Armor MK XXXIII. History: While he intended the armor to be used by James Rhodes, Stark ended up donning it himself to gain revenge against Obadiah Stane. The armor prevailed against the Iron Monger's armor and Stark kept the design for many months. It was used extensively against other armor users during the first Armor Wars until being destroyed with one of Firepower's powerful heat-seeking missiles. Stark used this opportunity to fake the death of the Iron Man who had apparently gone renegade and attacked the other armor wearers by sending it out on remote with various blood packs inside it, allowing him to claim that a new Iron Man wore the suit later.; A replica of the armor was later used by Mike O'Brien to face Ultimo. Tony used another version of this armor when he was facing the Mandarin's attempt to unleash Extremis on a large scale, as his Extremis abilities- and thus his access to his more modern suits- had been shut down for a week out of concerns for his mental health. When Tony Stark undertook Stark Resilient, he dismantled and melted one version of this armor. After Tony underwent a moral inversion, Pepper activated an artificial back-up Tony had made of his mind in the event of him ever being compromised in this kind of manner. Although the armor that the suit was using initially was destroyed, the A.I. then transferred itself into a model of this armor.; ==Capabilities==; Flight was improved with new turbines for the boot jets. A separate booster pack could also be used. Individual armor parts stored a small emergency charge. Repulsors and the uni-beam were enhanced. Pulse bolts gained energy as they traveled up to a certain point. Other weapons included a heat lance, cutting lasers, an electric shock, variator rays, a tractor beam, and a net. A disruptor field was used against electrical systems. The sonic distorter could also be to disrupt opponents. Freon streams handled fire. A 'six-second' force-field greatly enhanced protection for a short time, but consumed considerable power. Refractory coating blunted lasers and other energy attacks.; An absorption grid could be used to absorb energy from various sources. Life support equipment was considerably enhanced: recycled air, water and nutrients could last an indefinite amount of time. The "chameleon effect" generated a hologram to make the armor blend in with its surroundings. Due to harmful interference with his nervous system, Stark limited its use. Electromagnetic sensors could determine layouts of structures and identify stolen Stark technology. Negator packs neutralized and destroyed stolen Stark technology. The armor could withstand a bomb made from a higher yield of the Wonder Man's energy at point-blank range.; Telepathic Immunity: Stark installed a S.H.I.E.L.D. anti-telepathy device reverse-engineered from Magneto's Helmet.; Magnetic Immunity: The armor has a force-field capable of resisting Captain Marvel's magnetism.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; In Earth-8311, Tony Yarg utilized the Silver Centurion to battle Ducktor Doom.; Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham Vol 1 17; Image; Description; Issue; In Earth-9047, Tony Stork was a member of the Guest Host Offengers.; What The--?!

In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1, their numbers are shuffled around to match the sequence in which they first appeared.; The Stealth Armor is actually black, appearing as blue only because of the printing limitations of the era, in which blue had to be used as a fill-in for black surfaces and objects. A caption in the cover to the suit's first appearance, Iron Man Vol 1 152, calls Iron Man the "now-ebon Avenger," and in Iron Man Vol 1 244, the Fixer specifically denotes that Iron Man is wearing a black armor.; The Stealth Suit was based on the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit. Trivia: This suit is one of Iron Man's armors whose schematics are being contested by Damage Control after Tony Stark fell into a coma since the company also operates as an archival unit for metahuman technology that belongs to missing, incapacitated or deceased individuals. While Stark commonly evaded this predicament by leaving control of his intellectual property to Reed Richards, Reed had gone missing for a prolonged period of time when Stark became incapacitated. History: Designed after Tony was detected approaching a Roxxon space station using the Space Armor, the Stealth Armor was created to focus on stealth over offensive weaponry. It was used by Stark to infiltrate the Heaven's Hand fortress in the area formerly known as East Germany. The Stealth Armor was later used by Stark to infiltrate Soviet airspace during the first Armor Wars. By this point, Tony had managed to upgrade the suit to give it limited weapons capability where the original was basically defenseless. When Teen Tony and War Machine battled Stockpile, their employer Morgan Stark attempted to remotely control a number of older armors, including a stealth model.; ==Capabilities==; The Stealth Armor maximizes concealment over everything else. As a result, it is more fragile and cannot fit into a briefcase. Radar-absorbing coating, electronic countermeasure (ECM) jamming, and a wave-modifying plasma layer held by a force field distort incoming radar and sonar signals. Emissions from the jets are washed by supercooled air as the boots themselves have liquid oxygen rings. If discovered, it could launch chaff. Subterranean equipment was added for reaching underground areas. The sensory systems were upgraded for stealth missions, including an "auto-camera" with microfilm and a sonic scan probe. The original model had no weapons systems. A later version had limited weaponry: repulsors have enough charge for three shots. Its unibeam is usable but similarly low-powered. The later upgrades included the ability for the armor to change color for stealth purposes, although this camouflage ability was limited to working only in environments that were of one color, such as snow. A booster pack conserves energy and increases the armor's long range capability.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; This special sneaky armor may let Iron Man scout behind enemy lines without being seen, but it still packs quite a punch!; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online; In Earth-60713, the Iron Man Armor Model 6 resembled the Iron Man Armor Model 43.

It uses the latest ceramics, a Kevlar-like polymer weave and 'bio-neural gel-pack' circuits. Cloaking is achieved through an optical fiber network. However, its movie screen-like surface is fragile and was disrupted by household cleaning solutions. The armor is improved with noise reduction and internal air tanks. The armor vents carbon dioxide- a danger when the plasma system is engaged. The battle computer's adaptive combat guidance logic bases protocol based on data it has collected on a particular target. The armor retains the limited repulsor charge and uni-beam of previous models. However, it can redirect power to these systems if needed. A plasma discharge system provides protection against anti-metal weapons.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Marvel Adventures (Earth-20051)===; Iron Man used the Plastic Ghost armor to sneak into Latveria to rescue his friends. Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 22 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 21 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the "Many Armors of Iron Man Variants" variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, implicitly moving up this armor's designation back to Model 22. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22, 29 and 37 (to 17, 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. History: While Black Panther, an older version of himself, and Iron Man investigated the XCon's time traveling conspiracy, the two briefly battled with a Stark who XCon summoned who used a new Stealth armor model adjusted specifically to battle T'Challa. T'Challa had considered countermeasures of his own for Stark. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 9 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 9 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 9 Other aliases: Neo-Classic Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 231 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton; Mark Bright Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Built to stop Firepower. Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 9 Version: 1 Trivia: This armor was featured as Iron Man's look for the character's appearance ahead of its comic book debut in the 1987 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade alongside other Marvel super heroes. The costume was worn by Marvel character actor Steve Vrattos, who most notably portrayed Spider-Man in official events. History: Stark had been tinkering with this new bulkier armor behind-the-scenes before the first Armor Wars but was reluctant to use it because of it's high power capabilities. The design and color scheme was meant to be a redesign and reimagining of his classic armor. Initially it was just a project Stark had been working on in his free-time. Later on, Stark was forced to don the armor to stop Firepower after a miserable defeat earlier in which his current armor was destroyed by one of Firepower's missiles. Initially Stark planned to discard it after defeating Firepower; However, he continued to act as Iron Man after being inspired by his battles with Firepower. A cover story was made mentioning a fictitious Stark employee had died as Iron Man and Stark had made a new hire. A similar model was also used by Rhodes briefly.; While searching for the scabbard of Excalibur, Iron Man's armor interacted with its protective power. Combining the armor with Excalibur allowed Stark and Doom to defeat an extra-dimensional eye monster. The armor reverted to normal; Stark is only aware of the incident due to its memory chip (Merlin used a spell to remove his and Doom's memory of the events). After being shot by Kathy Dare, Tony had a bio-chip implanted in his spine. In conjunction with a special under-suit, he was able to move in the armor. He readjusted the armor's cybernetic interface after the Mars Twins' attempt to control his bio-chip. As nerve damage grew from Kearson DeWitt's techno-virus and mental strain, Tony switched to other armors. When Tony Stark undertook Stark Resilient, he dismantled and melted a model of this armor. Bethany Cabe used this armor to battle Ultimo.; ==Capabilities==; A Beta particle generator and solar converters became the armor's power source. As a result the armor was more powerful and faster. Fast enough to travel from Stuttgart, Germany, to Latveria in a matter of minutes, which would mean the suit travelled at speeds up to Mach 18, and powerful enough to hold one tank in each hand and crush them effortlessly. A security chip and anti-intrusion devices were added to prevent the armor's technology from being duplicated. The cybernetic interface adapted after Stark's spinal injury. Its battle computer could track up to 60 targets simultaneously. A cybernetic probe could link to other systems. A universal translator was added to boost communications. A booster pack was available for space travel, as well as a hydro module for underwater missions.; The armor retained and improved the Silver Centurion's weaponry. An EMP was adopted from Force's usage of it. The gauntlets had a nozzle for freon or gas. An add-on could carry "titanium foam." It could also launch a "hyperwave" generator. An Energy Shield was used to protect against energy attacks. "Protected senses" acted automatically to protect Stark's sight and hearing. Stark developed psi-shields by incorporating experimental Shi'ar technology.; When it was fused with Excalibur, the armor also featured invulnerability. All of the suit's normal functions were temporarily replaced with a magical equivalent. For example, instead of normal repulsors, it used "spell-shots." According to Merlin, the armor's power was dependent only on Stark's will. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 8 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 8 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 8 Other aliases: Iron Man Armor Model 6; Deep Submergence Suit; Undersea Armor; Sea World Iron Man; Iron Man Armor Mark VIII Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 218 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Iron Man Model: 8 Version: 2 Notes: This armor, the Stealth Armor and the Silver Centurion Armor were originally identified in 1993's Iron Manual Vol 1 1 as Models 6, 7 and 8, respectively. However, these designations did not correspond with the chronological order in which these suits debuted (Iron Man Vol 1 152, #200 and #218). In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1, their numbers are shuffled around to match the sequence in which they first appeared. Trivia: This suit is one of Iron Man's armors whose schematics are being contested by Damage Control after Tony Stark fell into a coma since the company also operates as an archival unit for metahuman technology that belongs to missing, incapacitated or deceased individuals. While Stark commonly evaded this predicament by leaving control of his intellectual property to Reed Richards, Reed had gone missing for a prolongued period of time when Stark became incapacitated. History: While Iron Man's conventional suits could function underwater, they had several limitations. Stark specially designed this armor to work underwater at depths of up to 3 miles. In terms of appearance, it was an all new design with the exception of the helmet taken from the Model 4 armor.; ==Capabilities==; All repulsor weapons are adapted for underwater use; in particular the updated "tri-beam" style uni-beam and mini torpedoes. The armor can generate an electrical field around itself similar to an electric eel. It could also release a chemical into the water that generates an inky-black cloud similar to an octopus's. Boot jets received modified turbines. Life support was enhanced for deep sea conditions. Long-range exo-units act as grapples with fully articulated hands. Crampons help in maintaining footing on rocks and coral. The backpack is a holding bay that can store objects. Lastly, the main armor can be jettisoned if needed to escape. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 16 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 16 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 16 Other aliases: Renaissance Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 3 1 Created by: Kurt Busiek; Alex Ross Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 16 Version: 2 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 17 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 16 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, also moving up this armor's designation back to Model 17. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split also bumping up the designations for Models 22, 29 and 37 (to 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. Trivia: Artist Alex Ross originally co-designed this armor together with writer Kurt Busiek as part of a pitch for an Iron Man run following John Byrne's departure from the series with issue #277. When Busiek relaunched the series with Iron Man Vol 3 1, he suggested using Ross' armor design, adding glowing details based on CGI renderings made by Iron Man fan Allen Bujak. History: A new armor built by Tony Stark after he and the other heroes returned from Franklin Richards' Counter-Earth. Health problems linked to exposure to the power systems led to Stark abandoning this design into a new "safe" armor. Iron Man had reconfigured his armor's power systems after having health problems. This new 'safe' design was somewhat larger (too big to fit in his briefcase) due to more insulation, so a special module was designed. When needed Tony could call the module to him and have it 'tessellate' around him.; Iron Knight was Iron Man altered by Morgan Le Fay's reality distortion wave. The wave caused the time period to be altered to a medieval setting altering the Avengers clothing, speech patterns and thought processes. All of the Avengers involved believed themselves to be a part of the Queen’s elite guard known as the Queen's Vengeance. The Scarlet Witch, with the combined willpower of all the awakened Avengers, pumped power into Wonder Man, shifting reality back to normal, and defeated Morgan in the process.; While using the armor, Tony recovered Jocasta's A.I. and downloaded it through his armor. This inadvertently caused the "Ultron Imperative" to be placed inside the armor. While battling Whiplash during a thunderstorm, the armor seemed to not be functioning correctly. Whiplash's improved electric whip caused a massive discharge in combination with the storm, and Tony suffered a massive heart attack as a result. When he recovered, Jocasta informed a horrified Stark that his armor had become sentient.; After the A.I. died saving Tony Stark, by tearing out its own cyborg "heart", it gave the "heart" to Tony to replace his damaged one, ultimately saving his life. Despite Tony also suffering a sudden change of heart and begging the Armor to let him in so that he could save them both, the Armor refused, telling its creator, "No more -- no more, Tony. Haven't you done enough already?" The Armor died after giving Tony a final goodbye. Tony buried the Armor on the island, with a grave marker reading "Here lies Iron Man, Avenger."; The Sons of Yinsen found the Armor, hoping it could resurrect Ho Yinsen. Instead, they had revived Ultron. Ultron surmised that the Armor's moments of helpfulness must have come from the personalities of Jocasta and Ultron-12, who had previously helped Tony and the Avengers against him. Jocasta uploaded herself into the armor to stop Ultron, but it triggered a self-destruct sequence. It is believed to have been destroyed along with the Sons of Yinsen.; During his status as a fugitive from Norman Osborn, Tony used this armor again while on the run around the world.; ==Capabilities==; Repulsors had variable settings such as a wide dispersal mode that fired similar to an LMG, the armor possesses 85 Tons strength, invulnerability, and like other armors, it maintained a unibeam, and magnetism. Pulse bolts were powerful but power drain limited their usage. In addition to standard sonics, a "sonic beam" could now be fired. The armor was able to damage the War Machine Armor (modern at the time) with all power put into the palm repulsors. The armor could also fire flamethrowers from it's back and fire a laser from its right index finger. When transformed into the Iron Knight, Iron Man could suit-up through a single helmet, fly, and fire blasts of force through magic.; Explosive and tear gas pellets were stored in the left gauntlet and flame-retardant foam was also stored. The armor comes equipped with a thermocouple strong enough to instantly reduce the heat from a Dreadnought. The armor's communications with enhanced with a cellular phone and wireless modem. Sensor upgrades included radar, acoustic, thermo, seismo, MRI, helmet could create a transparent overlay, and sensor waves that can trigger an avalanche. A later add-on was a force bubble projector. This "hamster ball" provided protection for civilians. A chin toggle was used for convenience (drinking water) and as a backup if the cybernetic link became damaged. Also, the armor had the ability to be stored in a suitcase and fly out to envelop the user. The armor could hack into the frequency of armaments to control them and could fire a gaussing beam that magnetizes every single metal part in an object. The armor can opaque the eye slits in response to bright lights, see in infrared, and shut off electric magnetism. The armor comes equipped with life-support systems and the ability function underwater without add-ons.; The armor is durable enough to tank hits from Radioactive Man, take a direct salvo from the War Machine Armor (modern at the time), and take several powerful blows from Namor.. The armor is durable enough to take blows from Magnum who was stated to have the seismic power to level cities and raise mountains.; Telepathic Immunity: Stark developed counter-measures against mind control after his manipulation by Immortus.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Carnage Cosmic (Earth-985)===; Iron Man and the Avengers fought Cosmic Carnage.; clear; ----; ===Wolverine: Horseman of Apocalypse (Earth-2988)===; Iron Man was one of the many costumed heroes who tried and failed to stop Wolverine from killing all of the worlds criminals as War.; clear; ----; ===X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse (Earth-7964)===; One of many armors utilized by Iron Man.; clear; ----; ===Domination Factor (Earth-8921)===; Iron Man was the founder and leader of the Avengers, and an ally of the Fantastic Four.; clear; ----; ===Red Skull won WWII (Earth-9907)===; The villainous Iron Cross utilized his own version of the Model 16 as part of the Thunder Guard.; clear; ----; ===Iron Man's identity revealed (Earth-29134)===; Iron Man had his identity revealed after his battle with Whiplash.; clear; ----; ===What If Jessica Jones Had Joined the Avengers?

Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. History: The armor's energy intake was very efficient compared to past models; even small appliances could produce a decent recharge for the armor. It was significantly overhauled after Iron Man's first battle with Temugin. The armor was overtaken by an alien nanoplasm, causing Tony to remotely trigger the self-destruct system. Subsequent armors, such as the armor worn while Stark was Secretary of Defense, remained similar to this design.; ==Capabilities==; Repulsors were modified including a mild version for 'crowd control' as well as improvements when fired underwater and in space. Firing repulsors and uni-beam simultaneously produced a "blockbusting" effect. Sonic weapons were improved. A deflector pulse can push objects away from the armor. A magnetic pulse was developed for specific use against the Makluan Power Rings. Defensively, EMP shielding was improved. The basic forcefield used wave algorithms to randomly change its frequency. A small energy shield could be emitted from the gauntlets. Backup forcefields could also be used to cover armor breaches.; For security purposes the armor was encoded to Stark's artificial heart. An emergency override key was given to Pepper Potts. Liquid oxygen cells provided an improved air supply underwater and in space, but were dangerous if ruptured. Under normal conditions a respirator took in and purified outside air. A carbon dioxide mix was used for improved underwater propulsion. A searchlight for the helmet was also available for underwater missions. Utility tools in the left gauntlet could be used for repairs, bomb disposal, or other tasks. A number of software upgrades were included in the armor, particularly in the sensor array and diagnostics. Notably, the incorporation of GPS technology and an ionic mist spray used to mark objects.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Iron Man: Monarch of the World (Earth-42777)===; In this reality Iron Man conquered the world, he killed Doom and took his cape, wearing it over his armor.; clear; ---- ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 25 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 25 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 25 Other aliases: Iron Secretary; Department of Defense Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 3 84 Created by: John Jackson Miller; Jorge Lucas Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 25 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 26 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual.

Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. Trivia: This armor was adapted into the video games The Punisher (2005 video game), X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Marvel Heroes (HyperScan) and Marvel Super Heroes 3D: Grandmaster's Challenge as Iron Man's default skin. History: This suit of armor derived from a rebuilt Model 24 after taking heavy damage from acid. This model was subsequently replaced by the Extremis Armor.; ==Capabilities==; The armor standard's weaponry included repulsors, uni-beam and sonics. Concussion blasts were used against the Hand. Zero-point energy was used against Michael Pointer. Via voice command (by saying the word "Assemble"), the armor can go into "Battle Mode", and follow Stark's orders, including targeting and identifying enemies. The order code "Quivers" makes the armor go in standby mode. If separated by magnetism, it could reform and return to Stark. Defensively, a repulsor shield could be extended to protect the armor and allies in combat. An integrated remote command could override other Iron Man armors as a safety feature.

Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. History: Stark was apprehensive about making armors after the previous one had become sentient. While at Askew he began experimenting with new ideas and completed a new design.; In light of Ultron's attempting to use S.K.I.N. as a weapon of mass destruction, Tony had abandoned use of this armor and constructed the Iron Man Armor Model 20.; ==Capabilities==; S.K.I.N. is a flexible alloy that can bounce like a basketball yet become nearly as hard as Adamantium. On command S.K.I.N. flows out of the chest plate and forms the gold armor sections. Jocasta's AI served as the armor's operating system. Sensors and circuitry were improved as a whole. The new "Stark Card" was integrated into the system. Repulsors and pulse bolts are standard weaponry. A new energy absorber is able to take in energy and fire it back out via the "omnibeam." The sonic array and tractor beam are improved.; The energy blade in the gauntlet doubles as a weapon and an Energy Shield. The small shields can extend to cover the entire armor, but are less potent. Probes launched from the gauntlets provide many functions: they have limited repulsors of their own, image inducers, a sensor array, and can detonate as "smart bombs." A newer version of the "chameleon effect" provides cloaking at the cost of expending considerable power. If need be, the armor can enter an emergency mode where it will automatically find a safe place, cloak, and power down. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 5 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 5 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 5 Other aliases: Armor #14C; Iron Man Armor Mark V Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 142 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton; John Romita, Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark International Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 5 Version: 1 Notes: Armor was code named "#14C" by Tony Stark.

While Stark commonly evaded this predicament by leaving control of his intellectual property to Reed Richards, Reed had gone missing for a prolongued period of time when Stark became incapacitated. History: This fusion-powered armor was designed for extended use in space. First used to confront Sunturion.; The concept of a space-especific armor would be revisited by Stark with the models 10, 18, 27 and 45.; ==Capabilities==; Life support and other systems are designed primarily for space; the armor is heavy and awkward in normal gravity conditions. Its control system is highly sensitive. An auto-camera and extendable exo-units are used for exploration. Sonar detects vibrations despite a lack of atmosphere. Thermographs provide detailed information. Repulsors were standard. In addition to the standard array the unibeam could use a deflector beam to push objects.

The computer could simulate possible scenarios and gain access to Kree systems. The armor's cloaking and ECM were enhanced to deal with Shi'ar and Kree starships; however, the cloaking was used sparingly to not further damage Stark. Life support was enhanced and kept a detailed analysis of Stark's nerve damage. In addition to repulsors, unibeam and concussion beams, this armor had a powerful self-destruct mode.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Avengers lost Kree-Shi'ar War (Earth-93165)===; Iron Man, who knew he didn't have long to live as he was kept alive by his armor, sacrificed himself by killing all members of the Accuser Corps, including Ronan, by detonating his armor thus giving Goliath time to free Captain America who had been captured and about to be executed by the Kree.; clear; ----; ===The Marvel Action Hour (Earth-534834)===; Iron Man utilizes this armor in space missions.; clear; ---- ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 15 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 15 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 15 Other aliases: Crossing Armor; Retro Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 319 Created by: Terry Kavanagh; Tom Morgan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 15 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 16 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual.

Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. History: Iron Man returned from his Arctic bunker in this new armor while under the influence of "Kang" (actually Immortus). It had a much more intimidating appearance than other armors.; ==Capabilities==; The armor had oversize gauntlets with wrist-top projectors. They could also be remotely controlled by Iron Man when not attached to the suit. Wide angle repulsors fired over more surface area. Unibeam and pulse bolts seemed standard. The gauntlets could also fire fine-focus lasers, tractor beams, a heat beam, cryonics and acid. The armor's surface could also heat up to the point of melting confiscated weapons. Boot jets incorporated gyro-stabilization and 'magnetibrakes.' Inertial dampeners prevent projectiles from ricocheting off the armor. Improved software included threat analysis. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 29 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 29 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 29 Other aliases: Iron Man Bio/Metallo-Mimetic Suit Series MK III Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 1 4 Created by: Warren Ellis; Adi Granov Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Dimensions: 6'6" when worn Weight: 200 lbs. Model: 29 Version: 1 Properties: This armor used vectored repulsor fields to tessellate its 'memory metal' design. The armor formed over a gold under-sheath produced by Stark's own body. The under-sheath's regenerative systems could repair damage to wearer or armor. The armor could handle speeds excess of Mach 50 and at around Mach 875. The sheath and armor could surround the user before an explosion from multiple Repulsor enhanced human bombs could engulf the user before the heat even hits at close range. The armor was durable enough to survive multiple Repulsor blasts from Ezekiel Stane and even a blast of full power. It was also able to withstand multiple death blows from Ezekiel Stane to the head before the armor gave out. The armor could take hellfire from Ghost Rider, a blow from the Starbrand, lightning from a Mjolnir wielded by Odin, and a blast from Lady Phoenix. The armor took a punch from Khonshu wielding the power of the Iron Fist and a blast from the Phoenix Force wielded by Moon Knight. The armor survived has a blast from the Sentry.; Due to Extremis, Stark's mind could now directly access satellite networks, security systems, and other digital technologies. The armor could be piloted remotely, even simultaneously with several other models in the field. The armor could even form up around the user without any audio confirmation. This was most likely achieved through the cerebral link between user and armor. Repulsors were potent and had an additional "full form" version for multi-directional attacks. The repulsors could fire soundwaves. The armor could fire small bombs from its left gauntlet. The armor can emit a cloud of nanosprites from its right gauntlet to shutdown an enemy combatant's lungs. The armor comes equipped with a blade that can be used as both as an interface with outside systems and a stake.; Standard weaponry such as the uni-beam, pulse bolts, and sonics were intact. Explosive "micro-munitions" were launched from the gauntlets. The unibeam could reach temperatures hotter than the sun's surface (6,237K) at 54% output and even hotter at 73% (10,073K). The armor could fire foam from the dorsal side of its hand. The armor could fire a laser from its index finger. The armor had solar cells which could be charged and fired from the repulsors at maximum effect, instantly vaporizing vampires. The armor could unleash 6 missiles from each shoulder. The armor comes equipped with dual 2x4 missile launchers, dual chain guns, dual tasers, dual lasers, and dual ray guns, which are all attached to four limbs that protrude from the back. This weaponry allowed Stark to fight evenly against the genocidal robot Nimrod.; The armor had a degree of adaptability to support and protect the wearer. A neural net could counteract or adopt similar effects to superhuman powers. Shields or "deflectors" could be raised for additional defense. The armor could maintain an active camouflage. The armor could go fully black. Additionally, the armor's parts could disguise as people before dropping the disguise to assemble around the user. The armor could scan for Stark-tech using a photonic kill-code. The armor could perform a wide range of search to identify heartbeats. The armor could scan for biological and non-biological anomalies in the surrounding area.; The armor's raw strength allowed it to damage Sadurang and subsequently take a direct hit from him. When the armor was turned magical, it was still able to fly and fight in the form of magic, it was also able to withstand the crushing weight of Sadurang and still function afterwards. Flight was now largely handed by small arrays throughout the suit; boots still contained turbines. The armor has reached speeds in excess of Mach 8, even mach 50 when it travelled from the Sydney Opera House to the Great Barrier Reef in under two minutes. The suit can fly even faster when it travelled from Nei Monggol Province, China to the Sea of Japan in just a few seconds. This means the suit flew at around Mach 875. Additionally, the jetboots could perform outside their parameters, showcased when the armor completely halted the momentum of a tube falling from space. A "gravity grip" produced by the gloves and soles could be produced for climbing surfaces or for anchoring. The armor had gauntlet electromagnets that allowed it to hold onto tubes that rose to 160 miles over the Atlantic Ocean at max power for 4 minutes.; Immunity to Spider-Man's Spider Sense: After analyzing the Iron Spider Armor, Tony figured out how spider-sense worked, allowing the armor to bypass It and even send false signals. The chest piece could be used as a searchlight. The suit has the ability to tap into its reserves and use that power to complete an otherwise difficult task. The armor was able to take a punch from the Controller who had absorbed the cerebral energy of thousands of people, although the hit was only a fraction of his power. The armor has life support systems that allow the user to survive in the vacuum of space for an extended period of time. The armor can withstand reentry from space with incredible ease. The armor can have attachments and comfortably operate in space.; It was also extremely difficult to operate without the aid of the Extremis drug, described by Stark as being "like trying to fly six stealth bombers at once". This problem seems to be a non-issue in the comic Avengers 2018 and onwards. Even making several appearances in Tony Stark: Iron Man which seems to take place several years after Secret Wars and has Tony Stark using the armor without issue. It can lift a large submarine out of water and has stealth capabilities to infiltrate Mister Sinister's heavily guarded lair unnoticed.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Earth-6109)===; In Earth-6109, the armor was used by a Tony Stark as his main armor.; clear; ----; ===Marvel Adventures (Earth-20051)===; In Earth-20051, the armor was used by a Tony Stark as his main armor.; clear; ----; ===Marvel Vs.

It was subsequently renumbered to Model 29 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, also moving up this armor's designation back to Model 30. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split also bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22 and 37 (to 17, 23 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB.; One of the principles for the Fresh Start-era series Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 was for Tony Stark to alternate between different armor designs. During this period, the Extremis Armor was used as Stark's "base suit" to give the character a consistent look in his appearances outside his main title.; When Iron Man battled the sorcerer dragon Sadurang, the Extremis Armor became infected by magic, causing it to transmute into a medieval armor that allowed Stark to cast spells. Since he couldn't properly control the armor's magic, Tony opted to have the suit ripped off of him and use the Model 1 Armor to defeat Sadurang.; For Squirrel Girl's funeral following her apparent death, Tony sported a variant of the Extremis Armor painted all black. Trivia: This armor was adapted into the video games Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, (Ultimate) Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and Marvel Heroes as Iron Man's default skin. It was also an unlockable costume in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. History: In an attempt to stop the Extremis-powered terrorist Mallen, Tony Stark was fatally injured by the criminal. Seeing no other option, Tony convinced Extremis co-developer Maya Hansen to inject him a dose of Extremis to heal his injuries. Additionally, Stark had been working on an experimental Iron Man Armor that was tougher and lighter than his then-current unit. However, he couldn't miniaturize the suit's control systems and other vital elements. In order to overcome this obstacle, the Extremis dose was modified so that the crucial undersheath of the Iron Man suit was super compressed and stored in the hollows of Tony's bones. The under sheath became directly wired to Tony's brain, which allowed him to control the new Iron Man Armor with thought and even interface with other technologies. During the Skrulls invasion on Earth, Tony's body was infected with an alien virus that shut down his Extremis enhancements and prevented him from making proper use of this armor. Many years later, after waking up from a coma, Tony returned to using the Extremis Armor, albeit a version most likely adapted to his now-ordinary biology. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Retro Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Retro Armor) Other aliases: Retro Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 325 Created by: Terry Kavanagh; Dan Abnett; Hector Collazo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Battlesuit Lead designer: Tony Stark Previous owners: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; The Retro Armor appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability and repulsor blasts. Notes: The Retro Armor was introuced in Iron Man Vol 1 325 as an already-existing suit stored in the Hall of Armor, making it impossible to know when did its creation take place chronologically.; Although several appearances of the Hall of Armor have featured previously unseen, unidentified suits, they are normally limited to minor background appearances. The Retro Armor was unique in its narrative importance, as it was donned in battle. History: An older model of the Iron Man Armor stored in the Hall of Armor of Tony Stark's Arctic bunker. When a time-displaced teenager Tony Stark was brought into the present by the Avengers to help them defeat his brainwashed future self, they broke into the Arctic bunker, where they were ambushed by Iron Man. Being Tony Stark himself, the younger Tony managed to bypass the security lock-outs and donned this suit to fight his older self. However, he was no match for the experience of the older Iron Man, who gradually tore up the hijacked armor before delivering the teen Tony a fatal blow. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 28 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 28 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 28 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Hypervelocity Vol 1 1 Created by: Adam Warren Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Stark's latest test model tested new technologies designed on speed.

Trivia: The armor's hardware is worth $150 million. History: This armor was created by Tony Stark, based partially in reverse-engineered and extrapolated supervillain hardware. Compared to previous models, this armor features a radical increase in computing power, to enable tactical autonomy if its user was incapacitated or killed while wearing it. When Stark came under attack by the mech tribe known as the Beautiful Garbage, a digital copy of Stark's mind named "Tony Stark 2.0" went into action on its own, and set out to find the responsibles for the attack. However, to S.H.I.E.L.D. was sent a modified video message in which Tony 2.0 was framed for Stark's severe injury, for which Iron Man 2.0 was forced to confront the Capekiller unit. When the Beautiful Garbage attacked the Capekiller's Assault Carrier, a thermonuclear warhead was activated as a contingecy plan. With only 0.009 seconds to manually deactivate the device, Iron Man 2.0 might or might not have been destroyed along with the armor.; ==Capabilities==; The armor's main feature is the presence of high-speed hardware, being able to move at speeds more than 150% faster than a regular Iron Man suit when using its "accelerationware." Additonally, the armor was capable of analyzing and learning from its wearer as well as following routines such as autopilot. In emergency situations, it can "upload" a copy of the consciousness of its wearer into its systems. Boot jets were variable mode and automatically adapted to environmental changes such as lack of air. For high speed underwater, the armor used a supercativation spike.; A capacitor ring mounted in the back stored and regulated the suit's power, it could launch tungsten-carbide rounds at hypersonic speeds. Manipulators mounted in the arms fired repulsors. Plates on the knuckles could generate a powerful electric shock. "Impact studs" can extend from the elbows. The armor's uni-beam seemed to be standard issue. Penetrator fletchettes could also be fired in bursts from the gauntlets. The armor could also fire narrow-focus electromagnetic pulse discharges. The armor's outer shell could be used to generate resonance. While Stark used it initially for broadcasting music, it could be turned into a potent sonic weapon. For defensive purposes, the armor had "chameleonware" cloaking as well as chaff and flares. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 11 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 11 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 11 Other aliases: War Machine Armor; Variable Threat Response Battle Suit Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 281 Created by: Len Kaminski; Kevin Hopgood Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Iron Man armor focusing on increased protection and conventional munitions Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: H.O.M.E.R. Place of creation: Stark Industries Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Jim Rhodes Dimensions: 6'6" Weight: 365 lbs Model: 11 Version: 2 Properties: It possesses various weapons: repulsors, unibeam (added for Rhodes), twin chain gun, laser blade, wrist-mounted flamethrower.; The shoulder pack can deploy Gatling guns, a box rocket launcher, a pulse cannon, and a plasma cannon.; Various munitions are available: depleted uranium, high explosive, concussion, thermite, tear gas, tracer, flare, smoke, anti-tank, anti-ship, flame, fire suppressant, radio repeater or sub-nuke. Several non-lethal options were later added into the suit's MK II: baton, sabot, and rubber slugs for the cannon, concussion pulses from the hands, and strobes via the unibeam. The armor comes equipped with a magnet in its hand and state-of-the-art wound coagulant that is administered via needle from the gauntlet.; This model has more plating and shielding than the typical Iron Man armor. A poly-carbonate coating further improves the surface. An additional poly-prismatic coating was temporarily used to counter the Living Laser's powers. It presumably retained the photon shield from previous armors. The armor could withstand a bomb made from a higher yield of the Wonder Man's energy at point-blank range.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; ===X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse (Earth-7964)===; One of many armors utilized by Iron Man.; clear; ----; ===Marvel Super Hero Squad Online (Earth-91119)===; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online This was James Rhodes' first armor.; clear; ---- Trivia: According to the War Machine Armor's co-creator Len Kaminski, the closest thing to a direct inspiration for the War Machine Armor was the cover for Incredible Hulk Vol 1 390.; The War Machine Armor's designer Kevin Hopgood has described the process the following way: "The design brief was 'It's Iron Man— but cooler!' so I had a lot of leeway! The black-and-silver idea came quite quickly. It's basically a punk rock / heavy-metal version of Iron Man. I was thinking of the armor as a mobile weapons platform, so the shoulder-mounted weaponry was a logical extension of that concept. It was Iron Man as a walking tank." History: After an earlier armor was damaged in battle with the Masters of Silence, Stark donned an armor with more weaponry, which he called the War Machine. It was further modified for James Rhodes, who started using this armor alongside his new alias, War Machine. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 37 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 37 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 37 Other aliases: Stark Enhancile MK X; Iron Destroyer Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 25 Created by: Matt Fraction; Ryan Meinerding Reality: Earth-616 Origin: An internal redesign of Stark's mind, body, and Iron Man. Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Reed Richards Place of creation: Baxter Building, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Dimensions: Approximately 6'6" Weight: 400 lbs Model: 37 Version: 2 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 37 in 2012's Avengers: Roll Call Vol 1 1. In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 bumped up the numeration for this suit as well as Models 16, 22, 29 due to splitting Model 13 into two distinct suits. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged. Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from Avengers: Roll Call Vol 1 1.; This armor was designed by Ryan Meinerding. Meinerding is the Head of Visual Development for Marvel Studios, having worked as a character designer and concept artist in numerous films including Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Marvel's The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. He co-designed many of Iron Man's cinematic suits, including the MKs I, VI, XLII and LXXXV, as well War Machine's MKs I and II. Trivia: When this armor was adapted into a 3.75" action figure for the Series 3 of Hasbro's Marvel Universe toyline, the package misidentified it as the "[https://marvelousnews.com/database/index.php?itemid=1578 Modular Armor Iron Man]." History: Deemed as "bleeding edge," this armor was created as Tony Stark essentially reinvented himself and the armor. Being called an upgrade to Extremis by Mr. Fantastic, Tony Stark corrected this comment by saying, "Nah - this is what comes next." It was the first armor powered entirely by repulsor technology via Stark's new device, the R.T. node. During the War of the Serpent, Odin Borson let Stark have access to the forges of Nidavellir, and created an arsenal of Uru weapons to combat the enemy forces razing the Earth. In order to acquire his own enhancements, Tony merged the systems of the Bleeding Edge Armor with Uru, turning it into the "Iron Destroyer" until the battle ended. When Odin left to Asgard, the enhancements of the Uru weapons and the Iron Destroyer were gone, so Tony vented the Uru from the suit's structure and gave it back to the forges along with the rest of the weapons to be melted.; During the conflict between the Avengers and the X-Men, a version of the suit was used that was composed of carbon nanotubes, in order to effectively fight against Magneto. Stark was forced to discard the armor after his competency as the suit's pilot was called into question (due to machinations of the Mandarin). Mr. Fantastic assisted Tony in purging the armor from his body after received orders from the U.S. government; and the two successfully removed all components from Tony's body. They would also render the tech completely inert, denying all possibility of reverse engineering or research to duplication. Tony would later create a nanotech-free version of the suit for use after Punisher stole the Model 42 during his battle against the Avengers.; ==Capabilities==; This entire armor is kept inside Tony's body until mentally commanded, at which point it manifests itself as the Iron Man Armor. The armor is made up of Nano-Machines that can now be commanded to turn into any type of structure upon Stark's skin. For example, the nano-machines can turn into clothes, other armors, or even different beings completely, by having the nano-machines change their properties into whatever Stark wants them to be. It can also dissociate to transform into the Iron Man armor whenever Stark wishes. The armor and Stark's own transhuman body are powered by the high-yield R.T. node mounted in his chest. The high output of the node has greatly augmented Stark's intelligence and provided him with superhuman-level multitasking and learning capabilities. Unlike earlier armors, this new armor does not appear to rely on motors and servos for motion. Instead, the nano-machines create a second layer of artificial muscle over Stark's body, upon which additional structures are assembled. This also enables the armor to self-repair and be almost invulnerable, as the armor is capable of transforming and healing itself, by having the constantly replicating nano-machines replace anything that is lost or used, as long as the power output from the arc reactor isn't interrupted or terminated. This allowed it to take blows from a Phoenix Avatar Cyclops and have power left to regenerate.; The neurokinetic user-controlled morphologic nanoparticle bundles that form the suit reside in Stark's body, and form a fibrous wetweb of iron and platinum, that can be commanded to form any type of structure upon Stark's skin, from weaponry to clothing, and can even stop a howitzer shell. Known weaponry includes repulsors, uni-beam, pulse bolts, tasers, missiles, an energy blade, and roughly 17,000 microscopic telepathic tasers that shock telepaths the more they think. Defenses include deflector shields and anti-magnetism safeguards. It has resisted the hacking of the High Evolutionary. Other type of weapons and upgrades seems to be created by Stark's imagination, such as a boxing glove, large guns extending from his arms, or cannons. The suit's repulsors, which are located around the knuckles, chest, back and legs of the armor, as well as in the traditional palms, now function also as cameras, or "eyeballs," which afford Stark a 360-degree panoramic view around himself. Those same repulsors are strong enough to vaporize a flaming plane wing into dust. It has resisted the telephaty from Professor X.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Marvel Adventures (Earth-20051)===; The Armor was hacked by the Mad Thinker, but Hawkeye managed to stop his rampage with aid from Stark.; clear; ---- ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK VI (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK VI (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK VI Other aliases: Mark VI Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man 2 (film) Created by: Justin Theroux; Adi Granov; Ryan Meinerding Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Upgraded version of the Iron Man MK IV armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Current owner: Anthony Stark Model: MK Version: VI Notes: Promotional art featuring the MK VI showcased it with a similar paint job as MK IV. Trivia: According to Tony, the suit's core tastes like "coconut and metal". History: The sixth generation Iron Man armor was constructed in the wake of heavy damage sustained to the fourth and fifth generation Iron Man armors. The Mark VI suit first saw battle against a small force of robot drones and the remotely controlled War Machine armor, before being worn in battle against Ivan Vanko in a battlesuit of his own. It later sustained moderate damage in a battle with Thor, and was then ravaged by multiple collisions with a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier fan. Despite this, the MK VI Iron Man suit was intact enough to continue limited service with a little repair work, although significantly impaired. It was retired shortly thereafter, being replaced by its successor, the MK VII. The armor was destroyed, along with the original Hall of Armor, when Stark's Malibu Mansion was attacked by A.I.M..; ==Capabilities==; Unlike previous versions, this Iron Man Armor features a more advanced and powerful arc reactor. It employs the same repulsors and anti-personnel cannon as the MK IV, but it features a triangular aperture in the plastron, armor piercing grenades (instead of the MK III's rockets), and hand-mounted single-use lasers. The armor also came equipped with dual shoulder rockets. These lasers were eventually upgraded for more sustained use prior to the MK VI being retired. The armor was later upgraded to absorb direct electricity as seen in the battle against Thor. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK VII (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK VII (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK VII Other aliases: Mark VII Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's The Avengers Created by: Zak Penn; Joss Whedon; Adi Granov; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Seventh generation Iron Man armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Tower Current owner: Anthony Stark Version: MK VII Notes: This suit was designed by Phil Saunders, who previously designed the MK III armor for Iron Man (film) along with Adi Granov, according to himself, it was the only design of his that made into the film "untouched".; This armor has reverted to the circular plastron aperture, rather than the triangular one of the MK VI, due to Joss Whedon's preference for the circle. Whedon has asserted that a circle means something, while a triangle does not. Trivia: J.A.R.V.I.S. mentions that the MK VII armor was not yet complete before Tony Stark used it. Given its considerable arsenal, it is unknown what additional functions or improvements would have been made before it was considered finished. Taking into consideration Stark's dismissive command to "skip the spinning rims," it's likely that he considered any additional improvements to be cosmetic only, however. In later appearances, no upgrades were seen in this suit, possibly because Tony put his efforts in building more suits instead of upgrading his old armors.; According to Marvel's The Avengers executive producer Jon Favreau, the film's scene of Tony Stark suiting up on the MK VII while falling off the Stark Tower was inspired by the cover of Iron Man Vol 1 118. History: The MK VII armor is the seventh version of Tony Stark's Iron Man armor. It was fabricated at Stark Tower following several incidents that heavily damaged Stark's Mark VI armor.; Stark used this suit as his main armor, and even used it when he went to have a few drinks with Rhodey Rhodes. When Tony suffered a panic attack, he used this armor to make J.A.R.V.I.S. check on him quickly. The armor was destroyed along with the original Hall of Armor when Stark's Malibu Mansion was attacked by A.I.M..; ==Capabilities==; This armor is powered by a miniaturized arc reactor, like every previous Iron Man armor. Apparently carrying all the capabilities of the MK VI, the MK VII also has one distinguishing feature that sets it apart: a self-propelled rocket pod form that seeks out the wearer of a matched pair of bracelets, then opens and reforms around the person as a fully functional Iron Man suit. Other notable differences in the Mark VII armor include the following:; Improvement of the hand mounted laser emitters developed for the MK VI. They appear to draw their power directly from the arc reactor, as they are now able to fire continuously in combat.; The flares and forearm missile launcher originally used in the MK III have been re-added.; The shoulders of the MK VII are capable of launching mini air-to-air rockets with apparent homing capabilities.; The legs of the MK VII now store several missiles.; The Mark VII shows additional thrusters both on the back and the front, hidden under plating. This presumably allows the Mark VII to reach greater speeds, and frees the hand repulsors to be used more frequently and effectively during combat.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; In Earth-91119, The 7th version of the Iron Man Armor was made for Iron Man to help his fellow Avengers defeat Loki.; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 42 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 42 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 42 Other aliases: Armor 616 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 4 1 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Carlo Pagulayan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Tony Stark's SoHo Penthouse Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 42 Version: 2 Properties: ===Overview===; This armor is powered by numerous Repulsor Tech cores, with "Repulsor Core One" being the one implanted in Tony Stark's chest. This armor's first version was composed of a liquid smart-metal which could be easily stored in a briefcase and be rapidly aligned to a subdermal guide to form the suit exoskeleton. However, this metal was not meant for battle, but rapid testing. The newest model's composition allows the user of the suit to attach/de-attach different kind of modules depending on the situation in a similar (but more limited) way to the Iron Man Armor Model 13. The suit can also be retracted into a "backpack" to allow its user's arms and legs mobility, but easy to immediately reassemble.; Using technology given to him by Rocket Raccoon, Tony created the "Stark Omniversal Multitasking Software" to allow him to remotely control the armor on Earth via his Deep-Space Armor. This software was intended for emergencies when Stark was needed on Earth while he was in space with the Guardians of the Galaxy. The software approximate communication range is seven hundred light years. At least two other Model 42 armors, colored in the classic red and gold scheme, could be operated remotely. In order to access the modular ability, this armor can be accompanied by a mobile armory controlled by Stark's newest A.I. and be adapted to use different technologies.. The code "Hdgk(X)=H2k(X,Q)∩Hk,k(X)" is capable of overriding the armor in order to make it respond to whomever recites it.; ===Offensive Powers===; The armor features regular weaponry such as repulsor rays, employing the latest version, Mark IVa. The suit can also deploy whips for either attack or to carry things. The armor is strong enough to momentarily halt the crushing weight of a Stark Sentinel and continue to do so even when armor integrity was compromised. The suit, grounded and with almost no power can fire triple repulsor-based missiles. The suit also comes with numerous add-ons that add to the armors firepower. The suit can also concentrate repulsors into a high-pressure burst and deliver a powerful blow via the fist. The suit can project a force shield into a concussive force that blows an enemy assailant back. The armor can fire its gauntlets and be remotely controlled to carry out commands. They also come equipped with induction fields that were able drain all the power from an alternate futures Dr. Doom's suit of armor. The suit can launch eight homing missiles from its back.; ====Known Add-ons====; Wrist-mounted armor piercing taser guns.; Hacking units.; UV laser.; Repulsor mini-gun.; Explosive launcher unit.; Augmented back-thrusts gear.; Anti-electric counter measure shields.; Wrist-mounted missiles.; Anthony Stark (Earth-616) from Iron Man Vol 4 1 004.jpg|Taser gun add-on; Anthony Stark (Earth-616) from Iron Man Vol 4 5 002.jpg|Explosive launcher unit and back thrust gear; Anthony Stark (Earth-616) from Indestructible Hulk Vol 1 17 004.jpg|Firing wrist missiles; ===Defensive Powers===; The armor can take plenty of damage, from stalemating an alternate future version of Dr. Doom, a full stomp from a falling Incredible Hulk, durable enough to withstand being crushed by a Stark Sentinel to even functioning as the armor integrity slowly fell, and even after it collapsed, a direct blow from the Cosmic Axe, the Starbrand, and Nightmask. The armor can resist telepathy from the Red Onslaught, comes equipped with a telepathic inverter that can find the right inverted frequence to clear all telepathy in the area, and place a disruptor to blanket the area of Los Angeles from further manipulation. The armor can also contantly emit this telepathic disruptor directly from the suit until it runs out of power. The suit can take power from outside sources, use the Override feature, project and interact with holograms, and turn into a suitcase that opens up to encase the user.; The armor can project shields that are built to take heavy blows but not small and dense beams. The armor comes equipped with a medical system that blocks the users pain receptors. The armor comes equipped with a thermocouple that is strong enough to absorb heat until there is nothing left but cold that forms up as ice around the enemy combatant. The armor is capable of absorbing the entirety of the moon's Phlogistone and releasing it into space thanks to an absorber made by a Dr. Doom from an alternative future.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; In Earth-802, the armor was used by an Iron Man clone.

Some artists like Greg Land, Mike Deodato Jr., Joe Bennett, and Luke Ross have drawn it with a design similar to the general Iron Man helmet outline used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe instead of the proper design created by Carlo Pagulayan. The biggest difference between the two helmet designs is that Pagulayan's faceplate lacks a mouth slit; In Marvel Puzzle Quest, this armor is incorrectly listed as the Model 40. This is most likely due to the tentative numbering used by this article before its official numbering was provided by All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe Vol 1 1. Trivia: The armor's override code (Hdgk(X)=H2k(X,Q)∩Hk,k(X)) is the statement of the Hodge conjecture. History: When Tony Stark returned to Earth, after deciding to take time to clear his mind, he started creating many new technologies for himself. One of these being this new armor, primarily used by Tony to test new technological developments. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 43 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 43 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 43 Other aliases: Stealth Armor; Modular Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 4 3 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Carlo Pagulayan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 43 Version: 1 History: When the Extremis virus was recreated by A.I.M. and sold to different people around the world, Tony Stark decided to track down and destroy any type of Extremis sample that could fall in the wrong hands. One of the samples he had to retrieve was in the secured mansion of a Colombian drug dealer. He created a new Stealth suit in order to perform his covert mission.; ==Capabilities==; Being powered by the R.T. node, this suit possesses lightbending technology for camouflage, holograms for disguise, and non-fatal and silent weaponry. It can use repulsors, but at roughly 10% the max output. The suit also possesses tasers. The suit also possessed knockout gas. The suit's shielding is capable of resisting a force blast from the Spectral Mandarin Ring, a beam of energy so powerful it can destroy the bonds between atoms and molecules. The suit's holograms can also be used to create illusions. The space between the joints of the suit is increased, so to reduce the sound caused by movement. The armor can also conceal itself but not the wearer to let its user be protected, but appear normally clothed. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 45 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 45 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 45 Other aliases: Deep-Space Armor; Space Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 4 5 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Steve McNiven Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created to better suit the harshness of space. Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Orbital Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 45 Version: 1 Notes: This armor has been portrayed with different distinct features depending on the artist. The most noticeable difference has been the lack of the spike-shaped yellow paint around the unibeam when drawn by Greg Land, Dale Eaglesham and Lan Medina. When drawn by Greg Land, the suit has also sometimes featured spiked shoulder pads that appear to be retractible.; These inconsistencies are subtly explained in Iron Man Vol 4 15. At the beginning of the issue, Stark takes off his damaged Model 45 (which lacks yellow paint around the unibeam), changes it for his Model 42, and jumps back into action with several remotely-controlled suits, including an intact version of the Model 45 that looks closer to Steve McNiven's original design than Greg Land's interpretation. This would entail that the inconsistencies are only apparent, and in reality there are actually two slightly-different versions of the Model 45 armor. Iron Man Vol 4 writer Kieron Gillen has expressed that bridging the different designs was "very much" on the mind of the creative team.; The armor's "Saturn V" extension is named after a model of rockets used by the NASA for the Apollo and Skylab programs from 1967 up until 1973. History: When Tony Stark officially joined of the Guardians of the Galaxy, he created a new and sophisticated Space Armor in order to move better throughout the infinity of space without any complications.; ==Capabilities==; This armor is powered by numerous Repulsor Tech cores, being the "Repulsor Core One" the one implanted in Tony Stark's chest. It is equipped with Stark's newest A.I. called P.E.P.P.E.R., which can take over the suit in case of emergency. It is also equipped with the "Stark Omniversal Multitasking Software", which allows its user to control other suits of armor located on Earth (such as the Iron Man Armor Model 42) from distances of hundreds of light-years. The suit also comes equipped with a thermocouple like older models and can take energy directly from the Repulsor Core in Tony Stark's chest.; Similar to the Iron Man Armor Model 42 and the Modular Armor, this armor's composition allows the user of the suit to attach/detach different kinds of modules to better suit the current situation. The armor features regular weaponry such as repulsor rays that can also be fired in a wide-angle and start at three times stronger than normal and can scale further, making it strong enough to kill a tidal wave using 30% power. Defensive systems include a forceshield strong enough to hold back a missile packed with enriched super-uranium travelling fast enough to reach the Earth and cover the armor to tank the blast at point-blank range.. Additionally, the armor comes equipped with psionic shields. The armor is durable enough to withstand the power of Black Bolt.; In order to access the modular ability, this armor can be "accompanied" by a mobile armory and be adapted to use different technologies.; Known modules include:; Enhanced back thrusters.; Wrist-mounted explosive launcher.; The armor has two flight modes. Warp speed, which is used for interplanetary travel, and sub-warp speed, which reaches Mach 10 speed.; The Model 45 also included an armor extension called the "Saturn V Armor" designed for Lunar landing. It granted the Model 45 six times the power storage of a regular Iron Man armor, kept in two repulsor batteries on the back, these batteries feed into redesigned boot jets that allow speeds higher than Mach 10. The "Saturn V Armor" came equipped with shields, high-frequency repulsor pulses, a potent unibeam, the ability to eject repulsor batteries to use them as weapons, and create forceshields that can surround and protect the user and someone else from a repulsor battery filled with three hundred pounds of fuel.; clear; == Alternate Realities ==; === Marvel Avengers Academy (Earth-61284) ===; On Earth-61284, the Intergalactic Iron Man Armor was created in response to Ronan the Accuser's arrival on Earth. The armor had rocket thrusters, allowing for space entry and travel, stronger repulsors, and could disable Chitauri shields. He promised to create a War Machine Armor variant for War Machine. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 34 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 34 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 34 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 1 7 Created by: Daniel Knauf; Charles Knauf; Patrick Zircher Reality: Earth-616 Origin: One of the five different specialty Iron Man armors created by Stark Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 34 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 35 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 34 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, implicitly moving up this armor's designation back to Model 35. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22, 29 and 37 (to 17, 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. Trivia: In the comics, Iron Man never wore this suit, but in the video game Marvel: Avengers Alliance, the armor Iron Man is using is identified as "Iron Man Armor Model 35" (the numeration originally assigned to this suit). History: One of the five different Iron Man armors, created by Tony Stark. They were never used in action until the armors were activated via remote trigger when the son of Ho Yinsen was shot and killed by S.H.I.E.L.D. forces.; This armor was sliced through by the Human Torch after being tenderized by Iron Man.; ==Capabilities==; This armor possessed an active camoflauge and radar-absorbing skin, and was intended to be used as a satellite destroying machine. ============================================================ Iron Man Dio Armor (Earth-101001) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Dio Armor Formal name: Iron Man Dio Armor Other aliases: Iron Man Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man (2010 animated series) Season 1 1 Created by: Toshiki Inoue Reality: Earth-101001 Origin: The armor was designed to be quite similar to the Iron Man armor used by Tony Stark and nearly matched his own. Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Ho Yinsen Place of creation: Tokyo, Japan Place of destruction: Tokyo, Japan Current owner: Ho Yinsen Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: In the first episode Tony alludes to the armor's cost as 1.5 billion dollars. History: The Iron Man Dio Armor is an Iron Man Armor variant built by Tony Stark. The armor was specially designed by Tony Stark when he wanted to retire as Iron Man. He built it to be used by others so they could fight crime in his place.; Tony brought the armor to Japan for testing, but it was stolen by the Zodiac. They were used by Ho Yinsen against Tony. Tony fought Yinsen in their respective armor, but Yinsen dies in a battle with the Iron Man Sigma (robots created by Yinsen and controlled by Zodiac). Afterwards, he took the armor back to the United States of America for safekeeping.; ===Capabilities===; ==Physical Enhancements==; Enhanced Strength: Dio seems to possess similar, if not greater physical strength than Tony's armor at the time.; Enhanced Durability: The Dio armor greatly improves the user's durability, capable of taking numerous rounds from assault rifles without even flinching and surviving impacts with the ground from high above without killing the pilot.; ==Armaments==; Repulsor Ray; Unibeam; Repulsor Boot Jets; Missile Launchers; ==Other==; Heads Up Display; Communication Systems ============================================================ Iron Man Bio-Armor MK I (Earth-55921) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Bio-Armor MK I (Earth-55921) Formal name: Iron Man Armor Other aliases: Bio-Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Ultimate Iron Man Vol 1 1 Created by: Orson Scott Card; Andy Kubert Reality: Earth-55921 Origin: A bacterial bio-armor created by his father, then adapted to create the "Iron Man" suit. Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Howard Stark; Maria Stark Current owner: Tony Stark (Iron Man) Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The armor has various capabilities aside from acting as a shield for Tony Stark from his chronic pain as a result of his undifferentiated neural tissue.; Superhuman Durability; Superhuman Strength; Flight; Repulsors; "Light Negativity" provides cloaking; "Deflector dish" emits a force field; Neuro-scrambler; Force Bubble for capturing foes; Genetic lock attempts to cut off superpowered beings from their powers; Thought scramblers temporarily shuts down all mental functions; However, the armor also has some detriments. It feeds on the body of its user (not an issue for Tony Stark, who regenerates), and can be washed off the user through application of antibacterial soap and water.; The armor is connected to Tony Stark through nanites in his blood that he can let out of his body by pricking his finger for various tasks. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 50 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 50 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 50 Other aliases: Endo-Sym Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers Vol 5 32 Created by: Tom Taylor; Yıldıray Çınar Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: San Francisco Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: The Endo-Sym Armor is a full liquid smart-metal which hardens instantly on connection with the user's body. Unlike another suit of similar abilities, the Iron Man Armor Model 37, this suit is based on symbiote biology, so it doesn't rely on tech for the initial bonding process with its user, the start-up is completely psionic. The armor can emit Extremis 3.0 through the surrounding area by the internet and fire a modified strain of Extremis 3.0 to apply to a specific part of the targets body via electrical discharge.; The psionic bonding with the suit allows its user to control it remotely, and call for it with no needs of electronics. Stark has stated that the suit can "feel" him the same way he can "feel" the suit, and referred to it as "alive". This connection extends to the point of it forming fully into a humanoid form that has similarities to that of a symbiote suit even when not bonded to someone, to punch through barriers in an attempt to get to its owner at his psionic command, but it does not have intelligence of its own, only a psionic link. The suit can be sent out, whether by psionic or vocal command, to attach to a user aside from Tony, so as to either protect them or restrict their movement to only what Tony desires, but not capable of using the suit themselves due to his psionic connection. The suit can repel and stop telepathy.; This armor's repulsors are a white-blue in color, but when he is preparing to attack someone, they switch color to red for an air of menace. Due to his intrinsic connection to the armor biologically, his own eyes sometimes light up red or blue in addition to the lights on the armor itself. These repulsors are so powerful that they can even bypass the ability of people such as Havok to absorb energy. There is an incorporated taser in the arms that can be used for sustained electrical impulses on command instead of short bursts. The armor has the ability to fire threads of Repulsor energy to combat the magic spell to remove the moral inversion from AXIS.; The armor can also absorb electromagnetic energy once it finds the correct frequency of said energy. However, though living beings of electromagnetic energy such as Spectrum can be absorbed, they can break free of the armor, causing the armor to temporarily dissolve in a select portion before reassembling. The armor is also capable of withstanding the lightning called forth by Storm with minimal, if any damage. The armor is capable of withstanding a beatdown from The Cabal, leaving the armor damaged but the user unharmed, and transforming into a form that looks similar to a mech suit that comes equipped with blasters as arms, arms that are potent enough to vaporize the upper half of Corvus Glaive (Earth-616). There is a thruster behind the elbows of the armor's arms, allowing for increased power when punching or otherwise striking someone, including allowing for needles to pass through tough skin.; This armor's thrusters initially did not function when deprived of an oxygen-based environment, as they relied upon a combustion engine, but this was later rectified. The armor can survive and maneuver with ease in the vacuum of space and operate comfortably close to the sun and withstand Sol's Hammer exploding around it. This armor can be used to subjugate possessing entities, such as an eight-year-prior incarnation of Tony Stark who had possessed a version of the Iron Man Armor Model 2. When the main faceplate is removed, a Graphene layer replaces it, to allow for bulletproofing of the face while providing an unobstructed view of said area of the head. The armor can also have more of its forming compound added to increase its size, granting the suit a Hulk-like physique. This makes it strong enough to completely annihilate multiple older Iron Man Armor and defeat the Model 36 with complete ease. The armor can release tendrils of its material to enter automated armors in order to determine the source of their core-artificial intelligence. The same tendrils can be spread out even further, making a punch capable of causing an armor to explode from the inside out from the internal force. Unlike most symbiotes, Tony Stark has shielded this one against sonic attacks. Notes: The Endo-Sym Armor is similar in concept to Hall Industries' Iron Rangers, who wore bio-mechanical armor made from cybernetically-enhanced samples of the Carnage symbiote. History: Following the inversion spell which altered his moral axis, Tony Stark moved to San Francisco where he planned on transforming the city into a utopia fed by exorbitant fees paid to Stark Industries for Extremis 3.0. He designed a new suit of symbiotic, biological armor, partially based on symbiote biology, from which he had taken "building blocks" directly to integrate into the suit. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 24 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 24 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 24 Other aliases: Iron Secretary; Department of Defense Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 3 73 Created by: John Jackson Miller; Jorge Lucas Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 24 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 25 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 24 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, implicitly moving up this armor's designation back to Model 25. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22, 29 and 37 (to 17, 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. Trivia: This armor was adapted into the video games X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Marvel Heroes (HyperScan) and Marvel Super Heroes 3D: Grandmaster's Challenge as Iron Man's default skin. History: Tony Stark began using this armor during the time that he served as the United States Secretary of Defense. After receiving massive damage due to acid exposure, this model was replaced by the updated Model 25 armor.; ==Capabilities==; The armor standard's weaponry included repulsors, uni-beam and sonics. Concussion blasts were used against the Hand. Zero-point energy was used against Michael Pointer. The armor had improved EMP generators installed. The armor has what seems to be some form of electromagnetism that can be projected from the repulsors and chest piece. The armor could unfurl metallic wings from its back that allowed it to connect to a Stark satellite in space that triangulated its location and unleashed the "Heavy Rain" protocol, Plasma Energy Beams.; Via voice command, the armor went into "Battle Mode." If separated by magnetism, it could reform and return to Stark. Defensively, a repulsor shield could be extended to protect the armor and allies in combat. It was also durable enough to take several blows from Ultimo, although the armor was severely damaged afterward. An integrated remote command could override other Iron Man armors as a safety feature. Security was enhanced by upgrades to anti-tampering devices. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLV (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLV (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK XLVI Other aliases: Mark XLV Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Age of Ultron Created by: Joss Whedon; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Forty-fifth generation Iron Man armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: MK Version: XLV Trivia: This armor is concept designer Phil Saunders' favorite Iron Man Armor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.; According to Phil Saunders, even though it was never shown, the MK XLV is functionally similar to the MK XLII, in the sense that Tony Stark can call each piece to him separately.; During Marvel x Fortnite crossover: Absolute Doom, Anthony Stark (Earth-616) wears this armor after his first defeat against a Pandora's Box empowered Doctor Doom (Earth-616) and the destruction of his previous armor. History: The forty-fifth Iron Man suit was created by Tony Stark, as a replacement of the Mark 43 and 44, and debuted when the Avengers confronted Ultron in Sokovia.. It has a hexagonal-shaped figure around its arc reactor.; ==Capabilities==; Flight: The MK XLV, like the other suits, has the ability to fly.; Repulsor Beams: The armor has the ability to project repulsor beams strong enough to destroy Ultron's sentries. Combined with Thor's lightning and the Vision's Mind Stone, it helped puncture the vibranium structure of Ulron himself.; Unibeam: The Mark XLV can shoot powerful beam from the chest where the Arc Reactor is placed. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLIX (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLIX (Earth-12041) Formal name: Iron Man Armor Mark XLIX Other aliases: Iron Skull Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers Assemble Season 1 1 Created by: Eric Radomski; Man of Action Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Red Skull Place of creation: Stark Tower Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Red Skull Model: 49 Properties: The armor's weaponry includes repulsors, unibeam, and missiles. It comes equipped with a Head-Up Display and an on-board A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S. for monitoring, targeting, and scanning purposes. History: The 49th suit of armor developed by Tony Stark. Iron Man's MK XLIX armor was stolen from him by M.O.D.O.K. for the Red Skull. However, later on the armor was then returned to Tony Stark. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 51 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 51 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 51 Other aliases: Transformational Mark ⬡; Model-Prime Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Free Comic Book Day 2015 (Avengers) Vol 1 1 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; David Marquez Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Tower, New York City Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Victor von Doom Model: 51 Version: 1 Notes: When Zenn-Lavian forces attempted to use the reality-warping device known as the Illuminatrix to alter the Earth so its culture became a reflection of Zenn-La's, Iron Man's armor temporarily became what it would look like if designed in Zenn-La.; Tony once equipped the armor's unibeam with a Sterile neutrino projector capable of neutralizing Hyperion.; When Victor von Doom made use of this armor, he used a series of dark arts spell cycles to enhance its technology. Trivia: Artist David Marquez on the design process for this armor: "Brian and I wanted to really put our mark on the Iron Man canon and we knew that meant giving our run a distinct look, something that both honored the history of the character, but also felt like a deliberate step forward, so we worked long and hard to have that in place before we started on the story proper. We were particularly inspired the by the real world tech all around us. Today’s smartphones are capable of tasks that would have taken rooms full of mainframes and multiple single-purpose devices, [and] they do it with a sexy, streamlined aesthetic. Likewise, we wanted to slim down the armor and at the same time make into a kind of all-in-one Swiss army knife, capable of tackling any situation Tony may find himself in."; Marquez envisioned this armor like "a super hi-tech LEGO set." For the overall look, he took inspiration from contemporary car and aircraft concepts. In particular, the Lamborghini Aventador and fighter jets like the F-22 and YF-23. He also took notice of a trend in vehicle design of embracing hard edges. History: When 15-year-old M.I.T. student Riri Williams managed to reverse engineer some of his past armor technology and posted it online, Tony Stark saw his place under the limelight compromised. In order to remain ahead of the technological curve, Tony decided to shut himself off in his lab and make up for the time he hadn't spent working on new inventions. The end result was the Model-Prime Armor, a new suit of armor that could change shape and color based on the task at hand, essentially merging all of his armor modes into a single suit.; When the armor was early in development, and it didn't possess the full version's main feature, namely a shape-shifting scaled surface, Stark was abducted to Battlerealm in order to take part in the Collector's Contest of Champions. This prototype suffered heavy damage in a fight against an alternate-reality Mr. Fixit. Seeing as Stark was no longer of use to him without a fully-functioning armor, the Collector teleported him back to Earth with no clear memory of recent events, leaving the damaged prototype behind.; The suit's final version was finished a few hours before Tony Stark's first date with Dr. Amara Perera, for which he had to postpone testing it. Tony first suited up when he was alerted of Madame Masque's return, and had to fly to Latveria to investigate her activities. During a rescue mission to save War Machine from the Southeast Asia Crime Syndicate, Tony lost one of the units he had produced of the Model-Prime Armor to the Techno Golem, a technopath who stripped Tony and War Machine of their suits to build her own.; On two different occasions, Tony had assistance from a second self-piloted unit of the Model-Prime Armor while wearing one himself, first when fighting Cassandra Gillespie and her Mandroids, and later on when he infiltrated New Attilan in order to kidnap the Inhuman Ulysses Cain. When the second superhuman Civil War came to a close, Tony switched from the Model-Prime Armor to a new suit created specifically to fight Captain Marvel. After Tony fell into a coma during battle, units of the Model-Prime Armor remained in display in some of Tony Stark's labs. One of these models was stolen by the reformed Victor von Doom and repurposed into his own version of the Iron Man Armor when he took it upon himself to carry on Iron Man's legacy. When Tony recovered from his injuries and resurfaced, he made use of the Model-Prime Armor for a brief time before switching to a version of the Extremis Armor that was most likely adapted to his now-ordinary biology.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; The main purpose of this suit is to serve as an all-in-one tool set. The mostly-hexagonal scales that comprise the surface of the armor can be commanded to separate and reconfigure themselves into any form and color using nanotech principles of molecular recognition. This ability makes it possible for the limbs of the suit to take the form of different tools, and even allow the entire appearance of the armor to be modified, by changing the color and mass of the suit, in order to adapt to the task at hand, including stealth operations, heavy lifting, and orbital flight. After taking shape, the scales smooth themselves out along the body's contours to give a leaner feel to the armor. Some of the forms the Model-Prime Armor has taken are: a Hulkbuster-like physique, stealth armor, a reinforced appearance inspired by Samurai, and a kid-sized mode.; Unlike other armor that were connected to the wielder's biology, this one only requires a direct link to the user's brain synapses. When not in use, the Model-Prime Armor can be collapsed into a bracelet on the wrist of the user, which can be activated and forms around the user's entire body when called upon. When the user wants to show their face, the faceplate can split apart and retract inside of the helmet entirely. Recharging the armor from scratch takes at least three hours.; The Model-Prime Armor can reach the speed of sound right from lift-off, and additional thrusters can be formed from the suit's scales to reach higher speeds. Flight while in stealth mode appears to leave no repulsor energy trail, so it could be powered by other means. Friday is featured as the on-board A.I., which controls the suit's communication systems and scanners, among other tasks. The armor can also release miniature drones for environmental scanning. The suit's systems are so advanced they can cloak its energy signature and any frequency emanation.; ===Offensive Powers===; The Model-Prime Armor features regular Iron Man Armor weaponry, namely repulsors, a unibeam, and a micro-missile array. The repulsors have multi-vibrational capabilities, being able to damage beings with phasing powers. When the armor was retooled by Victor von Doom, he added two more unibeams in the chest, making the suit capable of firing a tribeam at once. Different types of weaponry can be created on the spot thanks to the armor's primary shape-shifting function. The scales on the surface of the suit can be commanded to shape themselves into blades, guns, cannons, etc. The armor can also create a "zero-point energy bubble" which drains an excessive amount of energy. This energy bubble can be used to attack enemies with a shockwave energy blast or as a force-field to contain them. In addition to the commonplace increase in strength, the armor's shape-shifting features can enhance its user's strength even further by increasing in mass, giving the suit a bulky appearance similar to a Hulkbuster Armor.; Anthony Stark (Earth-616) from Invincible Iron Man Vol 3 2 004.jpg|Hulkbuster physique; Iron Man Armor Model 51 from Invincible Iron Man Vol 3 3 003.jpg|Giant blaster; Anthony Stark (Earth-616) from Invincible Iron Man Vol 3 4 005.jpg|Shoulder barrage; Anthony Stark (Earth-616) from Civil War II Vol 1 1 004.jpg|Arm cannons; Anthony Stark (Earth-616) from Civil War II Vol 1 5 001.jpg|Wrist-mounted cannon; ===Defensive Powers===; In addition to the extra-durable shell protecting its user, the Model-Prime Armor has shown to be completely immune to different types of powerful attacks, namely sonic attacks and EMPs, with such efficiency that its wearer might not even react to them. The suit can also resist powerful blasts of energy that can destroy entire buildings, and repeated blows from the likes of Captain Marvel. The armor also protects against intangibility, preventing objects and individuals like the Vision from phasing through it.; The division of the suit's surface into individual tiles allows for fast repairing of damaged areas, as the scales simply realign themselves. The extent of this ability allows the armor to rapidly rebuild itself even after being broken down in its entirety. The suit also possesses a cloaking mode that renders it invisible while its user remains in sight, providing its wearer with all of its protection and a deceivingly-defenseless appearance. The suit's multi-functionality allows it to render its entire surface black for stealth missions. Additionally, magnetic force-fields can be used to attract objects at will. In case the wearer's life is in extreme risk during battle, the Model-Prime Armor possesses an emergency protocol that causes the suit to burst and separate from its user while the device on their wrist flies them away to safety. The Model-Prime Armor then realigns itself and continues fighting in automatic control until its user accesses a remote interface and gets hold of the armor. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 41 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 41 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 41 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 527 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by Tony Stark to go on a vacation to space. Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 41 Version: 1 Notes: In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 bumped up the numeric designation of several of the 20 armors it spotlighed due to the Model 13 being split into 13 and 14. One of these suits is the Bleeding Edge Armor, which was reclassified as Model 38 after having previously been officially identified as the Model 37. However, the Black and Gold Armor retained its previously established designation of Model 42, leaving only three vacant numbers (39, 40 and 41) for the four previously-officially designated suits between it and the Bleeding Edge Armor. Due to the limited scope of the cover series making it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration, the Marvel Database will prioritize the previous numbering, which stemmed from the Iron Manual TPB and All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe. History: Following his return to the United States after having being a prisoner of the Mandarin for eight months, Tony Stark fell into a state of depression. So, he decided to take a vacation to clear his mind and come up with new ideas. Due to his unconventional nature, Tony decided to choose space as his destination. He created a space armor that could sustain himself long enough to come back energized.; 15-year-old M.I.T. student Riri Williams would later manage to reverse-engineer the technology of the Model 41 and post its schematics online. She also used this armor as the basis to create her prototype Ironheart Armor.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; The Model 41 armor focuses on sustainability in the harsh environment of space. It is designed to recycle everything its user's body requires, being perfectly capable of sustaining a person for several weeks. ============================================================ Iron Man Gauntlet (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Gauntlet Type: Gauntlet First appearance: Captain America: Civil War Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Tony Stark Previous owners: Tony Stark Alternate owners: Frank Castle (Earth-65); Mary Jane Watson (Earth-616); Linda Carter (Earth-616); Miles Morales (Earth-616); Happy Hogan (Earth-89521); Sharon Carter (Earth-89521); Sonny Frisco (Earth-23291) Properties: Sonic Blast: The gauntlet can unleash a sonic pulse to disorient a target. It is fired when the hand is clenched into a fist.; Flash Beam: The gauntlet can release a blinding flash of light to disorient a target. It is fired when the hand is splayed open. History: When the Winter Soldier freed himself and had his brainwashing programming activated by Helmut Zemo, he attempted to escape the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre, but was impeded by the facility's security forces, Steve Rogers; Natasha Romanoff; Sharon Carter, and Tony Stark. At the time, Tony did not have access to his full Iron Man Armor but did have the gauntlet, which he folded out over his hand from his watch. Tony proceeded to use the gauntlet to disorient the Winter Soldier using a sonic pulse and flash of light, emulating a flashbang grenade. This only temporarily stunned Barnes, forcing Stark to engage in a brief fistfight with the former, who pointed a handgun at Tony's face and pulled the trigger, but Tony stopped the bullet by placing his gauntlet over the gun's barrel. Barnes then punched Stark several feet backwards, knocking him down and out of the fight. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLIX (Earth-17628) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLIX (Earth-17628) Formal name: Iron Man Armor Mark XLIX Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Spider-Man (animated series) Season 1 8 Created by: Kevin Shinick Reality: Earth-17628 Lead designer: Tony Stark Previous owners: Tony Stark Model: 49 History: The 49th suit of armor developed by Tony Stark. Iron Man's MK XLIX armor was the one he used at the time Peter Parker became Spider-Man.; During that year's Stark Expo, Tony was attacked by Ghost, and Spider-Man was forced to bond with V-252 to help Tony and defeat Ghost. In the end, Tony donned the new Mark L Armor to help Spider-Man get rid of the substance.; ==Capabilities==; The armor's weaponry includes repulsors, unibeam, an electrical grid cage and shock waves. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 56 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 56 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Slott; Valerio Schiti Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability that allowed him to survive a direct strike from Fin Fang Foom and repulsor blasts. It was additionally capable of firing a micro-pod which contained a swarm of the Nano Iron Man Armor. The suit could also function underwater and use comms when the suit was breached and under system failure. The suit lacks an on-board A.I. since at the time Tony Stark hadn't found a replacement for Friday, who had been removed from all Iron Man armor and given her own robotic body. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. Trivia: This armor shares a similar color scheme with the Iron Man Armor Model 64. Valerio Schiti, the designer of both suits, personally regards the Model 56 as a prototype of the Model 64. History: This armor was one of the many designed by Tony Stark after founding Stark Unlimited. He used it after ejecting from the heavily-damaged Fin Fang Foombuster Armor during a fight against Fin Fang Foom. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 59 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 59 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 2 Created by: Dan Slott; Valerio Schiti Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability that allowed him to withstand the strength and ability of the Gauntlet with superficial damage and repulsor blasts. The armor's systems were connected to the Motherboard A.I. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; This armor's color scheme is similar to the Iron Man Armor MK XLVII of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. History: This armor was one of the many designed by Tony Stark after founding Stark Unlimited. He used it to interrupt the auction for Baintronics' Manticore since the vehicle made use of illegally-appropriated Stark tech. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 63 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 63 Other aliases: Godkiller Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 10 Created by: Dan Slott; Jim Zub; Alexander Lozano Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Baintronics Manufacturing and Fulfillment Center, Cranbury Township, New Jersey Place of destruction: Baintronics Manufacturing and Fulfillment Center, Cranbury Township, New Jersey Previous owners: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; This armor's design is partially inspired by the Iron Man 2020 Armor of Earth-8410.; This suit has alternated between the nicknames Godbuster Armor and Godkiller Armor. It was originally presented in Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 10 as the Godbuster Armor, and it was referred to as such in issue Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 19. It was called the Godkiller Armor in issue Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 11 and in Iron Man 2020 Vol 2 3.; Despite being referred to as the Godkiller Armor, this suit has no relation to the original Godkiller Armor, a gigantic suit built by the Aspirants. History: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 11; The Godbuster Armor originated within the eScape, a virtual reality developed by Tony Stark. When Tony was abducted by the eScape's rogue operating system Motherboard, he eventually broke free from her influence and rebelled against her. The eScape allowed Tony's mind to become unfettered from the restrains of the human brain, and the full power of his imagination unleashed conceived the Godbuster Armor, a powerful suit which allowed him to destroy Motherboard.; Concurrently with the tribulations caused by Motherboard, the Controller was leeching energy off the eScape users, gaining enormous power and becoming near-unstoppable. After coming back from the eScape, Tony hijacked the bleeding edge 3D printers in possession of Baintronics to construct the Godbuster Armor in real life, with the limitations of his human body already causing the intricacies of the design to fade from his memory. Once finished, Iron Man used the Godbuster Armor to effortlessly stop the villain and knock him out. Afterwards, Tony piloted the suit back into the Baintronics factory and had it self-destruct, taking the resources used to build it with it, since he determined the armor was too powerful to remain in the real world.; At the request of Tony's adoptive brother and Baintronics' co-leader Arno, the company's technicians managed to recover fragments of data on the Godbuster Armor from the destroyed facility. After Arno deposed Tony from Stark Unlimited and merged it with Baintronics, he poured the resources of both companies into trying to recreate the Godbuster Armor, with the resulting suit become Arno's own Iron Man Armor.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; Little is known of the Godbuster Armor's full capabilities. Tony Stark's brother Arno Stark deemed it as Tony's masterpiece and described the armor as the "ultimate weapon." When Ironheart scanned Iron Man, his power readings were off the scale, and the armor radiated much more power than anything she had ever seen.; Aside from that, the armor gave Iron Man enhanced strength, and allowed him to fly and release powerful repulsor barrages capable of knocking down gigantic foes. With one blast, the Godbuster Armor wiped out an entire digital universe and Motherboard which promptly shut down the eScape. The Godbuster Armor was able to knock out a giant Controller that had absorbed the cerebral energy in the hundreds of thousands of users in the eScape for a while. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 64 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 64 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 14 Created by: Dan Slott; Jim Zub; Valerio Schiti Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 64 Version: 1 Properties: ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability, repulsor blasts and unibeam. The suit can additionally deploy repulsor rays from its shoulders, generate energy shields, and set off an EMP. While the EMP also causes the suit to shut down, countermeasures enable its reboot. For a brief time, the armor's systems were operated by Tony Stark's A.I. duplicate, dubbed Li'l Tony. The armor can withstand blows from previous iterations of armor and emit a widespread ray of light from its chest piece. The armor was durable enough to withstand blows from an android that was a combination of Wonder Man and Vision. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; This armor shares a similar color scheme with the Iron Man Armor Model 56. Trivia: This suit's creator Valerio Schiti has jokingly referred to it as the "Crop Top Armor" due to the red plating in the torso resembling a crop top. He also dubbed the legs' red portions as "Iron Garter Stockings."; The main inspiration behind this suit's design was the Extremis Armor. History: This armor was one of the many designed by Tony Stark after founding Stark Unlimited. Tony was wearing it when Spymaster infiltrated the Stark Unlimited HQ and stole a hard drive containing a back-up of Stark's memories. He used the armor to defeat the villain along with Captain Marvel.; Tony continued using this armor, and for a brief time employed his duplicate A.I., dubbed Li'l Tony, to run its systems. After fighting a hybrid of Wonder Man and Vision, during which Li'l Tony was killed, and becoming aware of a ploy by Ultron Pym, Tony switched this armor in favor of a specialty suit, the Ultronbuster Armor. Stark didn't return to the Model 64 following his confrontation against Ultron since he lacked an A.I. to run its systems, and later because he renounced his identity as Tony Stark, and opted to use a new version of his Model 1 Armor under his new name of Mark One. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK VIII (Earth-TRN908) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK VIII (Earth-TRN908) Formal name: Iron Man Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: What If...? (animated series) Season 1 9 Created by: Matthew Chauncey Reality: Earth-TRN908 Origin: Eighth generation Iron Man armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Sakaar Current owner: Tony Stark Model: MK Version: VIII History: This armor is the eighth Iron Man suit created by Tony Stark. It was built using materials on Sakaar so Iron Man could compete against the Grandmaster in the Sakaaran grand prix.; ==Capabilities==; Seems to possesses the same capabilities as MK XLIV. The armor can also transform into a racing vehicle. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XIII (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XIII (Earth-12041) Formal name: Iron Man Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Ultimate Spider-Man (animated series) Season 1 22 Created by: Man of Action Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of destruction: Stark Industries Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 13 Notes: Based on the Modular Armor. History: The thirteenth Iron Man Armor built by Tony Stark.; ===The Iron Octopus===; Doctor Octopus took control of the armor when he infiltrated Stark Industries and used it to attack Iron Man and Spider-Man. The armor was destroyed in battle with the heroes. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 72 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 72 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 72 Other aliases: Mysterium Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 5 15 Created by: Gerry Duggan; Pepe Larraz Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Hellfire Club, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Material: Mysterium Properties: ===Overview===; Although the Model 72 was conceived with the primary function to serve as the pilot suit for the behemothic Sentinel Buster, it was nevertheless poised to be one of Iron Man's strongest normal-sized suits, since it was built using mysterium, a hyper-conductive "miracle metal." It possessed the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength and repulsor blasts. Its suit-up was achieved automatically via self-propelled flight of the armor's constituent parts, which could also be commanded to encase different targets.; In terms of secondary systems and gadgets, the Mysterium Armor possessed comms systems which could tap into all broadcast systems worldwide, a pair of pop-out air coolants, holographic projectors, an index finger-mounted flamethrower, the ability to shoot a flash-drying amber-like gunk to immobilize targets, the ability to generate and control magnetic fields, first aid, secondary thrusters on the shins and back, and life support that allows the user to operate comfortably in space.; ===Offensive Powers===; The armor derived much of its physical power from mysterium, allowing it to cleanly knock the head off a Stark Sentinel with a single punch, whereas previous iterations of the Iron Man Armor struggled to fight a single one of these robots. Due to the mysterium's hyper-conductivity, the Model 72 could discharge more pure energy than any Iron Man suit ever had before. In addition to repulsor blasts, the Mysterium Armor possessed missiles mounted on its shoulders and the side of its torso. A single deployment of this ordnance combined with repulsor rays was capable of critically damaging a Stark Sentinel. The armor's wrists also concealed a pair of pop-out blasters. The armor's back concealed a pop-out blaster. The armor's wrist concealed pop-out ray guns.; ===Defensive Powers===; The Model 72 was virtually imprevious to most types of damage due to the natural properties of mysterium, making it more durable than adamantium, which crushed on impact with it, and unaffected by magic. The armor could survive reentry from space with ease and effectively take a hit from blasts from powerful machines like the War Machine Sentinel, a specially modified Stark Sentinel. The armor was also specifically designed with energy shielding imprevious from Feilong's concussive beam. The armor, however, could be compromised by exploiting its intrinsic properties, such as when the vampire Cruel used telekinetically controlled razor wire to burrow into the armor through the joints of its plating. The armor can form layered electromagnetic shielding.; Clear Trivia: Artist Pepe Larraz was chosen to design the Mysterium Armor because he needed to start drawing May 2024's Blood Hunt Vol 1, which features Iron Man alongside the Avengers, ahead of its debut in Invincible Iron Man Vol 5. Invincible Iron Man writer Gerry Duggan and his collaborators had yet to design the hero's new look for the third arc of Duggan's run. A contributing factor was Larraz and Duggan's previous collaboration in Planet-Size X-Men Vol 1 1 and X-Men Vol 6.; Larraz has provided the following insights into the design of the Mysterium Armor:; He designed it with the main idea that an Iron Man Armor must have more to do with a high-end sports car than a tactical body suit. His first drafts were headed in that direction until his friend and fellow artist David López argued that they made Iron Man look like a Transformer.; Despite his limited experience drawing Iron Man, Larraz concluded that the most iconic part in every iteration was the chest and legs, so he focused on finding an iconic shape for the chest and the unibeam, as well as a recognizable silhouette.; He encountered a problem designing the waist, arguing that the appropriate shape to facilitate movement could "easily look like a petrified solid diapers, or a very bold swimsuit." He solved this issue by leaving that part in a complete black area, which also helped create a black shape that made it easy for artists to draw him and readers to follow him around the page. Larraz also stated that it made sense as a reference to "the darkness of the mysterium."; Among variations that circled around the final design, Larraz tried giving the suit a black faceplate, which he felt looked like War Machine, and making it more bulky. He didn't like the last one, believing that an Iron Man suit should look "robust but agile."; Editor Tom Brevoort asked Larraz to articulate the waist area with plates in order not to lose the feeling of armor. He and Larraz also decided to give the suit a chrome finish, which was "more minimal and it looks more expensive and sophisticated. All very Tony Stark."; The final pass at the armor's design included gold lines from his initial inspiration of cars in order to "remark the high end, exclusive custom trait of the object. It's an Iron Man armor, it's priceless."; This armor appears to have been erroneously used throughout the Ultraman X Avengers Vol 1 crossover, having changed from Model 70 before changing color schemes back to Model 70's colors. Another clue evident of this is that all of the covers for each of the four issues feature Model 70 instead of Model 72. History: Following the hostile takeover of Stark Unlimited by the human supremacist tycoon Feilong, Tony Stark saw his technological resources being put to the service of a quest of anti-mutant oppression orchestrated by the think tank Orchis, namely by Feilong's design and mass-production of a new type of Sentinel outfitted with Iron Man technology that he dubbed the Stark Sentinels. The strength of Orchis' campaign of terror forced the X-Men into hiding. Stark joined them in secrecy since he couldn't legally continue operating as Iron Man due to Feilong owning his patents, and began operating out of the Hellfire Club.; After discovering that a theoretical metal discovered in the past by his father Howard was nothing other than the mutant-harvested mysterium, Tony sought to use it to craft his countermeasure against Feilong's Stark Sentinels. The end result of Stark's designs was a skyscraper-sized Sentinel Buster Armor, with the human-sized Model 72 serving as a flight suit for it. Iron Man and Emma Frost retrieved the mysterium deposited by the X-Men in Gameworld, sending most of it to Nidavellir to be forged into the Sentinel Buster by Ironheart, and keeping enough to use a fabricator stolen from Stane International to craft the Model 72.; Stark first debuted the Mysterium Armor during the day of reckoning against Orchis, suiting up ahead of time to defend himself and Frost from a Sentinel Zero sent to the Hellfire Club to kill Tony. Iron Man subsequently convened with the Sentinel Buster in the Australian Outback, which landed split into parts and disguised as ships meant to trick Orchis into thinking they were transporting the mutant counter-offensive, in order to lure the Stark Sentinels armada to a trap.; Tony briefly kept the Mysterium Armor as his standard suit. However, due to word spreading about it, Stark shelved it into a warehouse in Long Island City. As part of an alliance between A.I.M. and Roxxon, Justine Hammer exploited the armor's disuse and stole it. She cannibalized it for its mysterium to finish an Iron Monger Armor for herself. Some time later, Tony somehow regained the Mysterium Armor, but retired the suit in favor of the new Model 75 Armor. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 74 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 74 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 74 Other aliases: Improvised Iron Man; Improvised Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Storm Vol 5 1 Created by: Spencer Ackerman; Julius Ohta Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; The Improvised Armor originated as a crude iteration of the Iron Man Armor with decreased functionality. Although it possessed the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, namely flight, enhanced strength, increased durability and repulsor blasts, it initially lacked portions of exterior plating and many secondary functions, like climate controls. The suit also needed multiple external generators to recharge, and included a digital gauge of energy levels installed on its left wrist. The suit's on-board computer included comms systems, but in lieu of a proper AI assistant, it is equipped with a chatbot called Iron.GPT which is prone to hallucinating.; Following his acquisition of the Iron Monger Armor, Tony Stark upgraded the Improvised Armor by retrofitting a portion of the Iron Monger's components into it, which greatly increased the armor's powers. These upgrades were later removed by Vishte Taru when it became clear the Iron Monger Armor's magically corruptive taint was taking effect in Tony.; ===Offensive Powers===; The armor greatly enhances its user's strength, allowing Tony Stark to catch and carry a minivan and even tackle the Iron Monger into the air. Repulsors were initially malfunctional due to a misrouting issue, but were fixed since then. They feature the conventional firepower of standard repulsors and a potent unibeam. The armor can also release an electrical discharge.; The suit's biggest weapon is the Repulsword, a massive protractible sword made out of retractable steel plating connected by plastic flexors, salvaged from an exploded Roxxon oil pipeline. The Repulsword can be used to channel repulsor energy for a variety of uses, including long-distance discharges, slashing strikes, and barrages. The Repulsword can continually absorb energy from combatants before releasing it in controlled beams, one of which one-shot an amped Iron Monger with plenty of energy to spare.; ===Defensive Powers===; Although self-admittedly Tony Stark's least protective armor, the Improvised Armor was still capable of offering protection from a pummeling of energy blasts and machine gun fire with only mild discomfort. The armor was able to withstand the full brunt of both magical and repulsor force from an amped Iron Monger, leaving the user unharmed but severely damaging the armor to a state of scraps. The armor can also generate holographic shields to block rifle fire. The Repulsword can also be used as a shield, being capable of deflecting the Power Cosmic and withstanding the full brunt of both magical and repulsor force from the Iron Monger. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 73) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; The Improvised Armor was first unveiled on July 17, 2024, when Iron Man Vol 6 was announced. Trivia: The main visual inspiration behind this armor is steampunk. Iron Man Vol 6 writer Spencer Ackerman cited crust punk as one of the suit's earliest inspirations in the way he described it, but commented that artist Julius Ohta put forward a steampunk aesthetic. The design that Ohta came up with prompted Ackerman to revise his story to better accommodate the narrative around it.; The Improvised Armor's trademark sword was a design element brought up by Ohta, which wasn't originally featured in Ackerman's pitch for the book. When Ohta requested it, Ackerman gladly accommodated the story to find a way to integrate the sword into it. History: When A.I.M. allied themselves with Roxxon in a bid to take over Stark Unlimited, Justine Hammer devised a plan to infect Tony Stark's entire network with a magic-infused virus that compromised almost his entire Iron Man armory. Working fast with whatever components he could salvage from it, Stark jerry-rigged the Improvised Armor to continue fighting the combined forces of A.I.M. and Roxxon.; After Tony averted Roxxon's acquisition of Stark Unlimited, Hammer left him with her Iron Monger Armor, which had been stripped of its Mysterium by her patron Belasco, the component being key in stabilizing the suit's dark energy flow. Despite the Scarlet Witch's warnings not to don the Iron Monger, Tony resorted to it out of desperation for an armor upgrade after Doctor Doom took over the world. Hoping to stave off its corruptive effect if he only wore parts of it, Tony retrofitted portions of the suit over the Improvised Armor. The plan only worked partially, as the Iron Monger's corrpution affected Tony insidiously, clouding his judgement. After briefly doffing the Iron Monger add-ons into the Winter Soldier's hijacked Crimson Dynamo Armor, their corruptive effect became more readily apparent. Iron Man's magician ally Vishte Taru then drew out the infection out of Tony, forging it and the add-ons into an armor for himself and returning the Improvised Armor to its original state. The armor was later damaged beyond repair in battle against Visthe, and it was promptly retired. ============================================================ Iron Man Mech (Earth-13122) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Mech Formal name: Iron Man Mech Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: LEGO Marvel Avengers: Climate Conundrum Season 1 1 Created by: Gavin Hignight Reality: Earth-13122 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark History: ===Climate Conundrum===; The Iron Man Mech was used by Tony to fight Detroit Steel, but after he escaped, Tony used it to stop A.I.M. from outfitting his climate machine. The Iron Mech would be destroyed by A.I.M. soldiers with an energy overload.; ===Loki in Training===; The Iron Mech would be rebuilt and used by Iron Man again to stop Thanos from getting the Mechfinity Gauntlet. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 75 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 75 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 75 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 7 1 Created by: Joshua Williamson; Carmen Carnero Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Iron Man Workshop, New Mexico Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability and repulsor blasts. The armor comes with the ability to envelop the user without propulsion and is fast enough to fly across the globe to wipe out multiple A.I.M. in the span of a day. The armor comes equipped with boosters to the Repulsor boots, a wrist laser, and the armor has a stealth mode that turns it black and changes the Repulsor color to red. The armor comes equipped with the ability to create energy constructs. Notes: The Model 75 Armor was first unveiled on October 11, 2025, when Iron Man Vol 7 was announced. History: The Model 75 was an armor designed by Tony Stark some time after refurbishing the Gamma Bomb Base in New Mexico into his new workshop. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 76 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 76 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 76 Other aliases: Stark Hoverbike 3000; Armor Bike Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 7 1 Created by: Joshua Williamson; Carmen Carnero Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Gamma Bomb Base, New Mexico Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability and repulsor blasts. Its trademark feature is the ability to transform from being a hoverbike into a fully functional armor. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 75) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; This armor is similar in function to the Models 55 and 60, both of which could also convert from a motorcycle. History: The Bike Armor was a suit designed by Tony Stark that could disguise itself as a hoverbike. He arrived at the first annual Tony Stark Award on it, introducing it as the "Stark Hoverbike 3000" in order to bypass his Chief of Security Melinda May's demand that there be no armors at the ceremony. Stark transformed the hoverbike into its armor configuration when the award was interrupted by Madame Masque and A.I.M., kidnapping Pepper Potts as a distraction to abduct the awardee Adam Ware. Tony was successful in using the Bike Armor to rescue Pepper, prompting Madame Masque to detonate what were then revealed to be Life Model Decoys of herself and her cohorts. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 77 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 77 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 77 Other aliases: Hellbuster Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Infernal Hulk Vol 1 6 Created by: Phillip Kennedy Johnson; Adam Gorham Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Reed Richards Current owner: Tony Stark Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 75) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: Following the resurgence of Eldest in the Hulk's body and his declaration of war on humanity, Iron Man worked with Mister Fantastic to build the Hellbuster Armor, a suit intended to kill this new "Infernal Hulk." The armor was built by reverse-engineering a spear left behind by the One Above All following an ill-fated fight between one of its vessels and Eldest.; Iron Man led a first strike on Eldest's base of operations, the Living City of Gologolthia in the Appalachian Mountains, a mere hours after the creation of the Hellbuster Armor. Although the armor managed to stand its ground against the Infernal Hulk, and Iron Man even pierced him with the spear, Eldest ripped apart the suit's arms. The suit was destroyed shortly afterward when Stark ordered Mister Fantastic to fire the orbital laser Linus into the Living City in an attempt to destroy it, to no avail. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 78 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 78 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 78 Other aliases: Black Metal Armor; Goth Armor; Knullbuster Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Queen in Black: Defenders of Light and Dark Vol 1 1 Created by: Al Ewing; Tom Waltz; Ryan Stegman Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Material: Darkforce Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 75) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; This armor has been jeeringly dubbed the "Goth Armor" by both Cable and Darkstar. History: The Knullbuster Armor was designed by Tony Stark specifically to combat Knull, the former god of the symbiotes who had now become a god of light. It was comprised of Darkforce to counter Knull's new Lightforce powers and creations. ============================================================ Iron Man's Briefcase Kind: item Page: Iron Man's Briefcase Type: Technology; Bags First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 40 Created by: Stan Lee; Robert Bernstein; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616; Earth-1610; Earth-199999 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Tony Stark-Earth-616; Tony Stark-Earth-199999 Place of creation: Stark Enterprises Main Plant, Flushing, Queens, Long Island, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Alternate owners: Tony Stark Model: Unique Properties: Most of Iron Man's armors can collapse to where they can fit within his briefcase.; It contains a number of safety devices to prevent others from opening it and using the armor. It is able to analyze the fingerprints of anyone who touches it. It is usually set to accept only the fingerprints of Tony Stark, but he may program it to the prints of others if he so chooses. If the fingerprints do not match those which it is programmed to accept, then knockout gas may be emitted. If forcible entry is attempted, it will self-destruct, to destroy both it and the armor.; Another safety feature includes a security handcuff attached to the locking mechanism on the outer top side of the briefcase. The other end of the handcuff is secured about Tony Stark's wrist.; The briefcase is also outfitted with computerized components that enable him to link-up with alternate computer networks. In function, it is not dissimilar to a modern day USB flash drive. Tony once used his briefcase to hack into the mainframe computer aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.; The briefcase is protected against trespassing, being immune to X-rays and thermal scans. History: To make his Iron Man Armor more mobile and protect his secret identity, Tony Stark create a special briefcase to house his collapsible armor. ============================================================ Iron Spider Armor Kind: item Page: Iron Spider Armor Formal name: Iron Spider Armor Other aliases: Iron Spider; Iron Spider Suit; Iron Spidey Suit; Stark Spider Uniform Type: Armor First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 529 Created by: J. Michael Straczynski; Ron Garney Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Designed for Spider-Man as a gift. Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Ceres Goldstein, Peter Parker Place of creation: Avengers Tower, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Patrick; Tony Stark Previous owners: Aaron Davis; Ceres Goldstein; Michael; Miles Morales; Peter Parker; Van Alternate owners: Amadeus Cho (Earth-12041); Iron Spider (Earth-13346); May Parker (Earth-19423); Anya Corazón (Earth-21642); Mary Jane Watson (Earth-61284); Miguel O'Hara (Earth-68926); Natalia Romanova (Earth-61893); Peter Parker (Earth-1053) Model: Spider-Man Armored Fighting Suit V 2.0 Version: 2.0 Properties: Fabricated with advanced protein-scale nanotechnology and exotic materials handling, LEP skin display, impact sensing armor integrated life support ant all-spectrum communications powered by a hybrid opto-electronic computer and using superconducting, high performance plastic throughout, the Iron Spider Costume is truly one of Stark's greatest works (and Peter's most functional costume).; Spinnerette/Stinger Access Ports: Through development of nano-crystal growth topology, this suit grow numerous configurations. It allows full interface from any surface, independent of occupant when necessary, and due to this design ports auto dilate to allow organics to pass. This includes Spider-Man's natural Webbing and Stingers.; Waldoes: The Iron Spider Armor possessed three mechanical spider-arms, or "waldoes," created from rapidly grown monatomic iron alloy crystal. These could be used to see around corners (via cameras in the tips) and to manipulate objects indirectly. When in the stowed position, the arms remain within the gold "circle" on Spider-Man's back. These arms are rapidly grown at the rate of 90 inches per second, Hollow construction allows for all material to be stored within the small back-mounted pack, and the command for growth is achieved via fast neural net-detection and amplification. The waldoes even have small grippers at the tips working as pseudo fingers.; Glider Device: It could glide via mesh webbing on its arms. The pseudo web form is a biodegradable filament generator. This allows for controlled gliding. Near invisible gossamer filaments extend for 20 meters- rapid growth and detachment.; Enhanced Chestpiece: A foamed titanium nitrile fabric chestpiece has body contoured and articulated panels to support the occupant. The chestpiece contains the highest concentration of Kasimir Plate Batteries-- nano-scale power generating devices that exploit "zero point" energy. Can generate 1.2kWatts at peak demand.; Mask Filter: A self-cleaning electrostatic precipitation system allows for full Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Filtration. It also had an 8 minutes worth compressed air capacity, which helped in situations underwater.; Enhanced Lenses: The Headpiece contains large area holographic lensing to allow for long eye-relief and panoramic real-world/-time viewing. Includes several optical spectrum modes with synthesized information overlay. It also Enabled Spidey to see in the infrared and ultraviolet portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.; Constituent Costume Containment: Part of the costume could detach itself to cover an object too dangerous to touch, such as a radioactive asteroid.; Multifunctional Layers: The Iron Spider Armor has a total of 17 layers throughout its workings, with each performing a different, separate and important function.; Transpirable Teflon-Based Temperature Control: Controls the Internal Temperature of the Wearer.; Moisture Pump: Occupant Cooling.; Conductivity Control: Low Infrared Signature.; Sensor Layer: Able to transmit data from kinesthetic analysis of occupant.; Suit Tension Layer; Super-Conducting Plastic Opto-Electrical Hybrid Computer 4.2 Teraflop Speed CPU: Proprietary Stark Industries Operating System. Multi-decision making sub-routine strategy prevents tech attack. Suit is semi-autonomous when unoccupied. Passcode activated lockdown.; Repair Layer: Self-repair/limited mechanical repair. Also first aid with limited external first aid.; Musculature Motility Layer: Follows occupant's motion.; Communications: All band transceiver GPS/Microwave including ELF.; Emission Control; Power Management; Impact Layer: National Institute of Justice Threat Level III Resistant. Heat-resistant Kevlar micro-fiber stops small arms fire.; Shear Detection Allowed Spidey to identify a sudden, rapid change in wind speed or direction over a short distance.; Antenna: Fractal design allows for simultaneous wavelength propagation. Allows for "speed of thought" suit control. Also allowed Spider-Man to listen to police, fire and/or emergency broadcasts.; Synthetic Aperture Camera Layer: Stores Cameras Optical to RADAR.; Light Emitting Plastic Layer: Allows for camouflage(but the darker the surface that Spider-Man blends to the better the the camouflage )and also allows Spider-Man to change the color and style of his suit(e.g. he changed it to the symbiote suit color and his normal red and blue and back); Diamond Nitrile Overcoat: Epitaxially deposited in chain mesh form Notes: The Scarlet Spiders' costumes carried several weapons, such as pulse cannons and repulsor grenades. Trivia: The Iron Spider suit of Earth-91119 contains no WiFi. It is unknown if this applies to other alternate versions of the suit. History: ===Spider-Man===; Spider-Man; After Spider-Man was resurrected from a battle to the death against Morlun, his friend and teammate Tony Stark built him a new suit using Stark Tech, and obviously influenced by the colors of Stark's Iron Man Armor.; Peter Parker abandoned this armor when he changed sides during the superhuman Civil War, from the pro-Registration unit (led by Iron Man) to the anti-Registration side, the Secret Avengers (led by Captain America).; The armor would be repossessed by Iron Man and stored in Stark Tower. When he sold the Tower to Qeng Enterprises, the Iron Spider Armor was among his possessions he managed to ship to Avengers Hangar. Mary Jane Watson donned the suit to help the heroes defeat the Regent.; Iron Spider ended up in the possession of Ceres. She changed the suit to black and yellow, added a waldo, and completed numerous unrevealed upgrades. When Aaron Davis visited her office, he bought the armor as a way to aggravate his nephew, Miles Morales, the newest Spider-Man. He later sold the armor back to Tony Stark.; ===Scarlet Spiders===; In the aftermath of the Civil War, after the Superhuman Registration Act was made law, Iron Man made upgraded versions of this armor and gave them to each member of the Scarlet Spiders, a team of super heroes with the task to supplant the original outlaw Spider-Man after his powers were removed from him, along with the powers of the rest of the unregistered heroes. Patrick is the only survivor of the three.; ===Parker Industries===; Using his resources at Parker Industries, Spider-Man has recreated this armor.; ===Miles Morales' Armor===; After Miles Morales was fatally wounded by Extreme Carnage, Iron Man infused his body with nanite clusters that formed into a black, gold, and red Iron Spider suit in order to protect him while his injuries healed. Once Extreme Carnage was defeated and Miles' injuries were healed, Iron Man reclaimed the nanites comprising the suit. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK II (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK II (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK II Other aliases: Mark II Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man (film) Created by: Mark Fergus; Hawk Ostby; Art Marcum; Matt Holloway; Phil Saunders; Adi Granov Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Upgraded version of the original Iron Man armor Mark I Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: James Rhodes Model: MK Version: II Notes: This armor was seen in the 2008 Iron Man (film) feature film and its 2010 sequel Iron Man 2 (film). History: The main purpose of the Iron Man Mark II was to update the armor with advanced construction and materials, with focus on enhancing flight capabilities. The basic idea was to strip down the Mark I suit to its basics, and rebuild it with modern resources and computer-aided design.; The main flaws of the Mark II were discovered by Stark on his first test flight: icing at high altitude, slow system reaction time, and power supply issues, which swiftly lead to the revised Mark III, adding a gold-titanium alloy to prevent freezing.; The Mark II was still standing in Stark's workshop, where James Rhodes spotted it after Tony took off. He hurried past, saying "Next time, baby."; Later, when Stark became drunk at a party and used his armor's weapon systems to entertain his guests, Rhodes retrieved the mothballed Mark II armor and used it to challenge him. Rhodes overpowered the intoxicated Stark and then confiscated the Mark II armor, turning it over to the U.S. military. Once in military hands however, the armor was ventured for a weapons upgrade by Justin Hammer, although Rhodes removed its arc reactor power source beforehand.; In Hammer's hands, the Mark II armor was partially dismantled and then rebuilt into a more combat-ready form. Conventional ballistic weapons and a miniaturized rocket launcher were added and interfaced into the armor's existing control systems.; Ultimately, the Mark II armor was rebuilt to become the War Machine armor.; Months later, Stark took back the suit and removed all of Hammer's tech, restoring it to its original form. He instead gave Rhodes a new War Machine armor, designed from the ground up to be more appropriate for Rhodes' use.; The armor was destroyed, along with the original Hall of Armor, when Stark's Malibu Mansion was attacked by A.I.M..; ==Capabilities==; Like the previous model, this Iron Man armor is empowered by the arc reactor in Tony Stark's chest. Stark was able to make the armor both much more streamlined, while including massively more complex systems.; Compared to to the electronically "dumb" Mark I, the Mark II featured a highly advanced compact computer system with extensive sensor systems linked to holographic heads-up display in the helmet, run by J.A.R.V.I.S., which includes the A.I.'s monitoring capabilities and observational protocol: a Global Positioning System, displays for navigation, power level, and vital signs, and the ability to provide verbal warnings and system status updates to the user. The outer surface of the armor was high gloss silver. The majority of the panels on the suit were articulated to serve as control surfaces in flight, but main flight stabilization came from repulsors installed on the palms of each hand.; The armor also features an emergency manual override dial switch for the flaps, located on the upper right outer thigh/hip area. Using it fully opens all the flaps at once, which Stark used to break off the ice build up that disabled the suit on his test flight.; Aside from the possible use of hand repulsors as weapons, the Mark II was not revealed to have any weaponry installed.; Clear; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; In Earth-91119; Tony Stark's Mark II Iron Man armor is a repulsor-packed aerial powerhouse.; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK I (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK I (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK I Other aliases: Mark I Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man (film) Created by: Mark Fergus; Hawk Ostby; Art Marcum; Matt Holloway; Ryan Meinerding Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Prototype battle-armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Ho Yinsen Place of creation: Afghanistan Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Obadiah Stane Model: Iron Man Version: I Trivia: This armor is concept designer Ryan Meinerding's favorite Iron Man Armor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in part because it was the first character design he had worked on that appeared on screen. History: This is the very first Iron Man suit ever built. In a life changing moment, Tony Stark was attacked and captured by the Ten Rings. While being held captive in a remote region of Afghanistan, he was forced to build a weapon of mass destruction for them, the Jericho Missile. With the help of Ho Yinsen, Tony built the Iron Man instead and used it to fight his way out of the cave complex where he was imprisoned and then to fly out of the Ten Ring's base; unfortunately, the suit came apart upon crash-landing. Tony left the pieces behind as he made his way back to civilization. He stored data on this suit in his private network while he worked on a new design back home in the United States.; However, the Ten Rings salvaged the wrecked Mark I. Their leader, Raza, determined that with a dozen of these "iron soldiers" he could rule all of Asia. He contacted his collaborator, Obadiah Stane, to ask for mass production of that armor; Stane instead paralyzed Raza, killed his men, and then took the Mark I armor to be reverse-engineered into a more powerful suit, the Iron Monger armor. The Mark I was stored under Sector 16 of Stark Industries Main Plant, where the arc reactor was located.; When Pepper Potts brought a small number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to arrest Obadiah, they found the Mark I, which they presumed to be the armor that Stane was creating.; The Mark I armor was later collected by Tony Stark and was kept in his home along with other armors.; The armor was destroyed along with the original Hall of Armor when Stark's Malibu Mansion was attacked by A.I.M..; ==Capabilities==; The Mark I is powered by the first miniaturized version of the arc reactor, which grants its user extended durability and limited protection against gunfire.; The MK I's main weaponry is composed of missiles and a flamethrower, and also gives the user augmented strength. The suit can also fly for a limited time using rudimentary rocket thrusters.; Clear; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online; In Earth-91119, When Iron Man first had to make a quick escape, he made this armor out of anything he could get his hands on - and it worked.; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online ============================================================ Iron Patriot Armor Model 1 Kind: item Page: Iron Patriot Armor Model 1 Formal name: Iron Patriot Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Dark Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Mike Deodato Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Norman Osborn, A.I.M. Place of creation: Avengers Tower, New York City, New York, United States of America Previous owners: Tony Stark; Norman Osborn; A.I.M.; James Rhodes Model: 1 Version: 2 Notes: It's very likely that for the making of the Iron Patriot Armor, Osborn repurposed the Iron Man Armor Model 25. At the time of the Iron Patriot Armor's creation, said armor was the most advanced of Iron Man's main suits that could be operated by a normal human.; Osborn's modification of the unibeam from a simple form like a circle of a trapezoid to a star reduced the amount of energy released by it, making it a much weaker beam. Trivia: One of the preliminary designs for the Iron Patriot Armor featured a blue chestplate, which is similar to the Iron Man 3 (film)-inspired Iron Patriot Armor Model 2. History: Dark Avengers Vol 1 1; After the Invasion of Skrulls, Norman Osborn became the new world hero and replaced Tony Stark as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., or rather its successor H.A.M.M.E.R.. When he decided to create a new team of Avengers he felt the team needed the heroic images of Captain America and Iron Man. Thus he decided to create this battle suit painted with the colors of Captain America's costume which was cobbled together from StarkTech that had been confiscated from Tony Stark's armory at Stark Tower shortly after H.A.M.M.E.R.'s formation.; However, Osborn lacked the technical expertise on how to operate the armor's repulsor generators efficiently (replacing it with the not as powerful Uni-Beam projector star-shaped output), making it less powerful than Stark's Iron Man Armor. It was hacked into and shut down by Iron Man at the end of the Siege of Asgard due to the armor being based on an older design. It was later revealed that Norman was recreating the armor in a workshop under Oscorp Tower. The armor, along with the workshop, was destroyed by Max Modell after Peter Parker distracted both Hobgoblins Roderick Kingsley and Phil Urich by "pretending" to be Spider-Man.; After the Siege of Asgard, the United States Departament of Defense acquisitioned propietary H.A.M.M.E.R. hardware, including the Iron Patriot Armor. Some modifications were made in order to turn in into a drone, including the addition of a base-level A.I. which piloted itself. At a weapons expo, A.I.M. incited a conflict against Daisy Johnson and Nick Fury Jr., and used the confusion created to steal the Iron Patriot Drone in exposition. The terrorist organization managed grow the armor's low-level A.I. considerably and free the entire in-development fleet from a factory assembly in China, using the army of sentient drones to incriminate the United States in numerous international attacks. S.H.I.E.L.D. sent the Hulk to destroy an army of droids that were going to attack Iran, and they were successufully disabled by Banner.; Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. intel came to the conclusion the Iron Patriot androids could be reasoned with, and agent Phil Coulson asked Colonel James Rhodes to talk to them, as he had experience and military training. Using holographic communication, S.H.I.E.L.D. hacked into A.I.M.'s network and allowed Rhodes to talk to the suits, who recognized him as "the Pilot," along Tony Stark being "the Maker." Rhodey managed to make the Iron Patriot army understand their actions of abruplty attacking tactical points of enemies of the US was unacceptable. After he stated he could teach them better by example, the androids sent Rhodes a different version of the Iron Patriot armor for him to pilot. With the army of droids at his command, Iron Patriot helped the Secret Avengers in their assault on A.I.M. Island. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK I (Earth-904913) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK I (Earth-904913) Formal name: Stark International Multi-Environment Exoskeleton Other aliases: Iron Man Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 1 1 Created by: Christopher Yost Reality: Earth-904913 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: The Armory Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Happy Hogan Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: ===Main Abilities===; Superhuman Strength: The suit increases the wearer's strength immensely. Iron Man is capable of lifting massive weights like water tower containers, cars, train cars, support beams, and steamrollers with either minimal or no effort. He could even create small fissures in the ground by punching it (although it was frozen by Blizzard first). At maximum power, Iron Man can lift an entire crane, but just barely.; Superhuman Speed: The armor is capable of moving and reacting at high speeds even when it's not flying.; Enhanced Durability: The Iron Man suit is extremely resistant to all kinds of punishment. The armor can easily withstand bullets. It can also withstand rockets, missiles, electricity, fire, extreme temperatures, high-powered lasers, heavy impacts, energy attacks, and such with only minimal damage.; Flight: The armor can hover and fly through the use of repulsor jets. High-speed boot jets that allows flight at speeds up to Mach 2 and higher. The armor also has gyroscopic stabilizers in the chestplate that give the user amazing aerial agility. The jets are strong enough to fly into outer space.; Repulsor Gauntlets: The gauntlets have many functions like:; Repulsors: His most iconic weaponry. They are concentrated electrical/repulser fusion beams of repelling light energy that he shoots from the ports on his hands. Iron Man uses these to blast objects and dissolve matter.; Force Field: His main defensive technology. The repulsors can generate an energy shield around himself and others near him. It can also be expanded into a large repulsion wave that pushes aside harmful forces. The shield is strong enough to block three Earth Mover lasers before the shield goes critical.; Secondary Propulsion: In addition to his boot jets, Iron Man has another set of propulsion in his repulsor palms. However, he uses this function sparingly.; Energy Absorption: He can directly absorb energy through his repulsors. He can release that energy in the form of a stronger unibeam.; Unibeam: This is a stronger version of his repulsors which is emitted from power source on the chest. It can destroy or overwhelm almost anything in its path. However, it rapidly drains the suit's power, so Iron Man only uses it sparingly. It can also emit a magnetic pulse to push back an enemy.; Magnetic Manipulation: Iron Man can use magnetism to levitate, attract, or repel metal objects near him at will, like laser guns or a traffic mirror.; Sensor Systems: This allows the wearer to see and scan everything in front of him on the armor's heads-up display. The armor's sensors can see the electromagnetic spectrum, scan the environment and opponents for weaknesses, and warn the pilot of incoming danger.; Life Support: The armor can sustain its wearer in hostile environments for an almost indefinite period of time.; Onboard Computer: An internal artificial intelligence operating system that assists the wearer and answers his questions.; Comm Systems: Its communication systems allow it to talk to the person at the Armory computer terminal, scan the news and police reports, hack into radio frequencies, and establish a cellphone connection to the person on the other line and more.; ===Other Abilities===; Neural Interface: The user can pilot the armor just with his mind and body. If the pilot wants to fly or use the weapons, he needs only to think the action and it will happen. Iron Man can also randomize the sequence of the armor's neural interface to protect himself from mental attacks for a few moments.; Voice Filter: This is used to protect his identity. It slightly deepens his voice and gives it a mechanical filter. The audio can be shut off remotely and it also can be routed so that the person in the Armory terminal can speak through the armor.; Power Reroute: Iron Man can re-route his power from his systems to boost other suit functions, like motors to increase his strength or the jets to boost his propulsion.; Autopilot: It has an autopilot that can fly the wearer back home if he is incapacitated or asleep.; Remote Control: The armor can be piloted remotely from the Armory computer terminal, other Armors, and from Stark's palm pod.; Translators: It can translate languages and it can even read lips.; Roller Skates: Tony installed "electrostatic energy racers" in the armor's boots to act as a secondary transportation system if the boot jets are disabled.; Arc Light: The power source on the chest has a flashlight built into it.; Computer Interface: The armor's computer can hack into other computers to retrieve information and into satellites used by NASA or S.H.I.E.L.D.; Emergency Lockdown: The armor can lock itself up to prevent others from opening it, including the wearer. While it's in lockdown mode, the wearer's life is sustained, but he can't move at all.; Holographic Video: When the armor became sentient, it could bring up a recording of what it has seen and heard on a holographic screen from its chest power source.; Electromagnetic Pulse: Iron Man used this to disperse Technovore nanomite body.; Self-Destruct: After he almost lost the armor to Obadiah Stane, he put this function into the armor. The resulting explosion is large enough to destroy the entire Project Pegasus compound.; Ejection: This function saved Tony from being destroyed with his armor at the hands of Whiplash. History: The Iron Man Armor Mark I is the first suit of armor Tony Stark uses to battle injustice as Iron Man. After this suit was destroyed by Whiplash, Tony replaces it with the Iron Man Armor Mark II.; Tony creates his first armor almost completely on his own and planned to show his dad, but his plane blew up and his father disappeared. Tony survived the worst of the crash thanks to his gauntlet's force field, but his heart and chest area were severely damaged. Tony put on his armor and had it fly him on auto pilot to Rhodey and put an implant in his heart. Tony first used his armor to spy on Obadiah Stane and found out that he weaponized his Earth Mover. When a runaway train was headed for Stark Tower, Iron Man managed to stop it and save many lives in the process. This incident spreads across the wire and the public calls him "Iron Man", an identity that Tony adopts and becomes a superhero.; In Man and Iron Man, the suit briefly gained Sentient Armor after a combination of upgrades mixed with the damage from a fight with Whiplash. In this state, it knocked Rhodey out, when he was going to disassemble the armor. Its primary directive was to protect Tony Stark, and to this end, it went as far as to encase Stark inside the armor permanently since Stark kept looking for trouble. It attempted to kill Rhodey, for which Stark took the blast, frying his heart plate. As Stark went into cardiac arrest, the armor sacrificed its sentience to save its creator's life.; In Season 2, Stark armors up for the first time in months. He uses the armor to save Justin Hammer from Whiplash. Later in the same episode, when Iron Man tried to save Obadiah Stane from Whiplash, in the battle, the Mark 1 armor was completely destroyed by him. Tony Stark ejected from the armor before it blew up, but he was badly injured. He recovered and the Mark I was replaced with the Iron Man Armor Mark II.; In Iron Man 2099, the armor made a brief cameo appearance while Tony was trying to test his new nano virus chips, when the Mark 2 repulsor was unable to send the nano-chips cause they were delicate, Pepper referred to Hawkeye for help. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK V (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK V (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK V Other aliases: Football; Mark V Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man 2 (film) Created by: Justin Theroux; Jonathan Bach; Aaron McBride; Ryan Meinerding Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: The fifth Iron Man armor, designed to be portable, was constructed to appear as a suitcase when in its compacted form. Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: MK Version: V Trivia: This armor is concept designer Phil Saunders' favorite Iron Man Armor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe that he didn't design himself, and has stated he wishes he had created it.; The color scheme of the MK V armor was inspired by the Iron Man Armor Model 7 from the comics, better known as the Silver Centurion.; During Ivan Vanko's attack in Monaco, Tony Stark calls the briefcase "Football," referencing the term Nuclear football, which is a briefcase containing authentication codes and other items that allow the US President to authorize a nuclear strike at any time. History: The MK V armor is a man-portable Iron Man armor, which was first used during Tony Stark's battle against Whiplash, who tried to catch him off-guard and kill him on the Monaco Grand Prix racetrack.; Tony was participating in the race when Vanko ambushed him on the track using a weapon system powered by an arc reactor of his own. Stark's friend and employee, Harold Hogan, had been left with the armor for safekeeping, and burst onto the track to aid Stark. After some initial difficulties acquiring it in the scuffle, Stark was able to don the armor and use it to defeat Vanko.; The armor was destroyed, along with the original Hall of Armor, when Stark's Malibu Mansion was attacked by A.I.M..; ==Capabilities==; This armor is powered by a miniaturized arc reactor and it features two states: a compact red suitcase, and a red and silver battlesuit.; The transformation from case to armor can be achieved in seconds: Tony Stark opens the case and locks his hands into grips that reform into gauntlets, then steps into the open case, where the rest of the unit separates and reforms around him. The resulting battle suit is considerably weaker than the other Stark armors, lacking their range of weapon systems and flight capability, but has the advantage of being a readily accessible emergency backup.; The lightweight design makes the MK V impractical for large scale battles, although it did prove sufficient to beat Ivan Vanko on the Monaco Grand Prix racetrack. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK IV (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK IV (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK IV Other aliases: Mark IV Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man 2: Public Identity Vol 1 1 Created by: Justin Theroux; Adi Granov; Ryan Meinerding Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Upgraded version of the Iron Man MK III armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Place of destruction: Tony Stark's Malibu Mansion; California Current owner: Anthony Stark Model: MK Version: IV Notes: A MK IV suit was originally going to appear in the first Iron Man film, as a War Machine Armor made of weaponized swap-out parts that would be worn over the original MK III. History: The fourth of a series of Iron Man armors created by Tony Stark is the successor and replacement of the Mark III that was damaged during the fight with Obadiah Stane's Iron Monger armor. It was used in a minor brawl with James Rhodes in the Mark II armor when Tony himself was drunk at his own birthday party celebration.; After Stark created a new and superior suit, this armor was kept in storage in his lab.; The armor was destroyed, along with the original Hall of Armor, when Stark's Malibu Mansion was attacked by A.I.M..; ==Capabilities==; As this armor is apparently just a recreation of the MK III suit, which was heavily damaged in battle, it seems to have the same capabilities as its predecessor.; This suit is powered by a miniaturized arc reactor. It features a gold-titanium alloy shell (the same used in a Stark Industries satellite 'Seraphim' to improve out-of-atmosphere reliability) and an upgraded power generation unit.; It makes the wearer extraordinarily strong, and provides resistance to damage from even tank shells and rockets. The suit is equipped with two palm repulsors used for flight control, melee and long distance weapons, along with a J.A.R.V.I.S.-run array of missiles and targeting system. ============================================================ Iron Mouse Armor MK I (Earth-8311) Kind: item Page: Iron Mouse Armor MK I Formal name: Iron Mouse Armor MK I Type: Armor First appearance: Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham Vol 1 4 Created by: Steve Mellor; Joe Albelo Reality: Earth-8311 Lead designer: Iron Mouse?

Version: 2 Notes: The Iron Tech armor was noted as upgraded from its earlier version in Ultimates 2 Vol 1 2.; There is no explanation as to why Stark stopped using the upgraded version and returned to the previous one after the Liberators' attack. However, it could be assumed that the upgraded armor was destroyed by the Liberators, and since Ultron stole the next one almost immediately after its first appearance, Tony didn't have time to build a new one. History: This model is an improvement from the test models of Tony Stark's youth. It was used by Stark during his first missions with the Ultimates, built after the Chitauri Invasion. An older "clunker" is held in reserve.; It needs a full crew to help Tony Stark to suit up as well to monitor it.; Stark started using an upgraded version of this armor after the Chitauri invasion, but stopped using it during the Ultimatum event, where he returned to the previous version of the Iron Tech armor.; This upgraded version is stated to be way more stable than the previous armor. It has been used in combat against the Kree, Thor, and a Venom-possessed Spider-Man. It has also been used during rescue missions, for example, to save an European submarine.; After the Ultimatum downgrade, the armor was heavily damaged during a battle with the Ghost and later finished off against Howard Stark's forces. Tony then decided to use a more aerodynamic and compact armor.; ==Capabilities==; A special liquid helps insulate the wearer.; Repulsors and lasers can be fired from the palm ports.; The deflector dish can emit energies, but is primarily used for a force field that can expand to a 500-meter radius.; A smaller "bubble" of force can be used for capture and containment.; Neuroscramblers can temporarily disable others.; The suit is designed for "light negation", a form of cloaking.; Flashbulbs can be launched to provide extra illumination and sensor array.; A satellite array helps with recharging. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK VI (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK VI (Earth-1610) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Ultimates 2 Vol 1 12 Created by: Mark Millar; Bryan Hitch Reality: Earth-1610 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark History: A satellital armor located in a space station orbiting the Earth, which Tony Stark used against the Liberators.; It can shoot three immense repulsor rays from each of its sixteen extensions. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK VIII (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK VIII (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor Other aliases: Mark VIII Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man 3 (film) Created by: Drew Pearce; Shane Black Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Eighth generation Iron Man armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Tony Stark's workshop (Malibu, California) Current owner: Tony Stark Model: MK Version: VIII History: This armor is the eighth Iron Man suit created by Tony Stark, and one of the many armors he developed after the battle for New York against Loki and the Chitauri. The attack had left him with the feeling that the world couldn't be safe for long, and that he needed to build more suits until the next time Earth was in danger.; The MK VIII suit was among those summoned by Stark to battle Extremis-enhanced soldiers assisting Aldrich Killian's plot. It was controlled at the time by Stark's A.I. program, J.A.R.V.I.S..

It was controlled at the time by Stark's A.I. program, J.A.R.V.I.S.. When an Extremis-powered Pepper Potts was fighting Killian, this suit identified her Extremis heat signature and prepared to execute her; Tony tried to command J.A.R.V.I.S. to abort, but Stark's earpiece had fallen from his head. Pepper then proceeded to jump and punch through the suit's torso before it could fire a repulsor blast. She used the suit's charged arm to direct the repulsor blast to a missile she had kicked towards Killian, detonating the explosive and annihilating the villain.; ==Capabilities==; Seems to possesses the same capabilities as MK VII.

History: Having recovered fully recovering from his last encounter with Spider-Man and S.H.I.E.L.D., Norman Osborn makes an attempt to reform his life and become a hero. Taking cues from Captain America and Iron Man, Norman develops his own set of battle armor and goes by the name "Iron Patriot". After taking down the Frightful Four with Spider-Man's help, the web-head still does not trust Norman's intentions and the two briefly fight. However, the two put their differences aside when Octavius attacks them with Spider-Soldiers, super soldiers based on the Venom symbiote Octavius developed from Osborn's stolen research. Spidey and Norman together put an end to Octavius' plans, earning the Iron Patriot S.H.I.E.L.D.'s trust in the process.; The Iron Patriot later appears as one of Iron Man's armors being controlled by J.A.R.V.I.S. and later is controlled by Ultron. ============================================================ Iron Monger Armor (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Monger Armor (Earth-199999) Formal name: Sector 16 Project Other aliases: Iron Monger Armor (editorial); Iron Man MK I v2 Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man (film) Created by: Mark Fergus; Hawk Ostby; Art Marcum; Matt Holloway; Adi Granov; Ryan Meinerding Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: William Ginter Riva and other scientists at Sector 16 Place of creation: Sector 16, Stark Industries Place of destruction: Sector 16, Stark Industries Previous owners: Obadiah Stane Model: MK Version: I Notes: The character was called Iron Monger in the comics when he used his armor, but the codename is only referenced in the film when Stane describes himself and Stark as "iron mongers"; although the "Iron Monger" codename was confirmed to be Stane's alias in Ironheart. Trivia: The Iron Monger suit in the film is based on Tony's first suit. In the comics, he similarly built the armor based around some of Tony's design notes, but those that he accidentally left behind. History: After Tony Stark's escape from captivity using the Iron Man Armor MK I, the Ten Rings (led by Raza) found the armor in pieces in the desert, and collected them. Raza contacted Obadiah Stane and offered him a deal. Raza would give Stane the armor so that Stane could manufacture more to give back to Raza. Stane then incapacitated Raza and took the armor, then Stane's men killed all of Raza's men. Stane then hired scientists at Sector 16 to create a new, bigger and more advanced suit of armor.; The scientists were able to create a new suit, but they could not create a miniature arc reactor to power it. Stane had to resort to incapacitating Tony to steal the arc reactor from his chest. Pepper Potts, Tony's assistant, found out about Sector 16, so she, along with Agent Phil Coulson and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, went to arrest Stane.; Stane, back at Sector 16, heard them break in, so he rushed into his new armor. After taking down a pair of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Iron Monger went after Pepper, at which point Iron Man intervened. They fought on the highway, before Iron Man took to the skies in the hope that Stane couldn't follow. However, the Iron Monger suit had been equipped with a rocket thrust capability, and gave immediate chase, although didn't get far before icing up at high altitude. The fight quickly returned to the ground and both combatants ended up on a roof, by which point both suits had sustained heavy damage. Tony managed to outsmart Stane by using the giant arc reactor in the building as an advantage, Stane and the armor were electrocuted, and they fell into the giant arc reactor causing it to explode, presumably along with the Iron Monger armor.; ==Capabilities==; According to Obadiah Stane this armor, when adequately powered, is "superior in every way" to Iron Man; however it has a least two key weaknesses: it cannot function at the freezing temperatures of the upper atmosphere and has partially exposed wiring in the neck area, something Tony Stark exploited to disable its targeting system. The armor's weaponry is exposed (except for the missile launcher in his shoulder).; The Iron Monger armor gave Stane superhuman strength enabling him to easily lift a car, and appeared to be slightly stronger than Stark in the Iron Man Mark III (although Stark was wearing the Mark I Arc Reactor when he fought Stane). The armor is also equipped with a 23mm six-barreled Gatling gun, Stark S-category missiles, a laser-guided warhead, omnium exterior, a stun device, a rotary grenade launcher, and flight equipment.; The Iron Monger's onboard computer had little navigational focus, as the suit was based on Stark's Mark I armor acquired from the Ten Rings. Obadiah Stane made smart targeting the HUD's primary component. Omnium, a steel alloy of invincible strength, was developed in Stark Industries' Sector 16, specifically for use in the Iron Monger suit. ============================================================ Iron Monger Armor MK I Kind: item Page: Iron Monger Armor MK I Formal name: Iron Monger Other aliases: Iron Monger Armor Type: Iron Monger Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 200 Created by: Denny O'Neil; Mark Bright Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Obadiah Stane Previous owners: Obadiah Stane Properties: The armor was remotely controlled due to Stane's lack of experience. This proved to be its downfall.; It possessed powerful repulsors and a chest laser, which Iron Man admitted to be even stronger than his current armor at the time. Subsequent models added other weapons. Notes: A group of scientists who worked on the armor went on to form the Iron Trinity. Another group created the Savage Steel Armor. History: The armor was built by Obadiah Stane from Tony Stark's design notes. Stane used the armor against Iron Man.; After Stane's death, different versions of the armor were used by other organizations. While aiming to sell the armor's designs, Stane International handed a version of the suit to the U.S. Army so they could train U.S.Agent, the armor was destroyed during the training session.; The Iron Monger Armor MK II was designed by Joey Cosmatos, from this armor's schemes and with a number of improvements.; Professor Power intended to mass-produce the armor, in a scheme that got stopped by the West Coast Avengers. Overlord was revealed to be behind this event.; Red Skull got access to one version of the armor, equipping Cristoph Pfeifer with It. The Skull ordered Iron Monger to kidnap Viper, but the Monger got defeated by Viper's henchmen. ============================================================ Iron Monger Armor (Earth-904913) Kind: item Page: Iron Monger Armor (Earth-904913) Formal name: Iron Monger Other aliases: Iron Monger Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 2 5 Created by: Philippe Guyenne; Brandon Auman; Kevin Burke; Chris Wyatt Reality: Earth-904913 Origin: Iron Monger Armor; Built from Anthony Stark's design notes for use by Stane Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Obadiah Stane Place of creation: Stark Tower Current owner: Obadiah Stane Previous owners: O'Brian Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The Iron Monger is a powerful robotic mecha. In-series dialogue state it is either 30 or 40 feet tall, but visuals suggest a much larger figure; the mecha was shown to stand level with six-story houses, making it approximately 60 feet tall. Stane mentioned it had Hulkbuster armor tech inside of it. It could destroy military vehicles, the third unmanned Crimson Dynamo unit in one stroke, easily overpower the Titanium Man Armor, and hold its own against the Hulkbuster Armor.; Enhanced Strength: The armor could strike down Iron Man with one punch.; Enhanced Durability: It is impervious to attacks. It was unaffected when War Machine delivered its most powerful attack, something that at least Doctor Doom flinched at. It has been modified with an adamantium/vibranium armor plating, strengthening its massive damage resistance.; Flight: It is equipped with jet boots in the feet.; Weapons: It is featured with the following weapons:; Laser Cannons: It has laser cannons in the arms and right shoulder that could knock back both Iron Man and War Machine even with their force fields up.; Rocket Launcher: It has a rocket launcher on the left shoulder.; Gatling Guns: The Iron Monger has powerful gatling guns in both of its arms.; Vibrational Shockwave: It can deliver a big shockwave of repulsor energy from its foot by stomping it on the ground.; Hologram Projector: It can project the face of the pilot in the center that can speak to people on the outside. It can also speak to people on the outside without the projector.; It has a radio transmitter to speak to the person on the other end.; It is mentioned to have an eject function.; Even though the Iron Monger is practically unstoppable, it's controls are too complicated to operate alone. It needs an outside link to a computer system so the pilot could control it more easily. By severing this connection, the Iron Monger is practically rendered useless. In Heavy Mettle, Stane was controlling the mech by himself, so its implied that this flaw has been removed.; Because of its massive size and weight, it can topple when one aims for the legs.; It isn't protected against Iron Man's Extremis. History: The Iron Monger Armor is a giant robot suit built by Stark International.; Using the Iron Man designs that Obadiah Stane acquired, he built the massive Iron Monger mech suit. It was first used to demolish a condemned building to make room for a new Stark manufacturing plant. O'Brian was the pilot for the mech, but he stops when he sees Iron Man holding a civilian, despite Obadiah's orders. Obadiah pilots the suit and continues demolishing the building, even though that old man came back to the building, passing him off as "collateral damage". Iron Man and War Machine try to stop him to no avail, until they realize that the suit needs outside computer control to ease operation of the complicated systems. Using a radio interference device, the Iron Monger's computer connection was severed and it tipped over when the armored heroes blasted it's leg.; The Iron Monger has been upgraded with an adamantium/vibranium alloy platings. Thanks to the mecha, Stark International has signed the biggest military contract in the world, eclipsing Hammer Multinational. Their board of directors almost made him the permanent CEO until Tony Stark presented them footage of his dealings with the Ghost. As a result, Stane was fired. Because of a similar phrase that both Tony and earlier, Iron Man said, Stane deduced his true identity. Wanting revenge, Stane stole the Iron Monger to go after him, unaware that Titanium Man put a remote control device on it. He kidnapped Pepper Potts to lure him out. Iron Man appears in the Hulkbuster Armor and War Machine saved Pepper Potts. Stane had Iron Man at his mercy, but let him go after pleading from Whitney. Titanium Man activated the remote control unit and sent it on a rampage, so he could be a hero by stopping him, winning Hammer Multinational the military contract. Stane breaks the mecha's controls and the Iron Monger falls onto the street and as a result, Stane was put in a coma.; Iron Monger was later used again by Madame Masque who was posing as Obadiah Stane. It tried to hurt Iron Man, but he shut it down using Extremis. ============================================================ Iron Spider Hulkbuster Armor (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Iron Spider Hulkbuster Armor Formal name: Iron Spider Hulkbuster Armor Other aliases: Hulkbuster; Iron Spider New Version Type: Armor First appearance: Ultimate Spider-Man (animated series) Season 3 16 Created by: Marty Isenberg Reality: Earth-12041 Origin: Designed for Spider-Man as a gift Lead designer: Doctor Connors Place of creation: Tricarrier Current owner: Peter Parker History: Spider-Man; The Iron Spider Hulkbuster Armor was an experiment designed by Curt Connors to defeat very big menaces.; It was later used by Spider-Man to stop the fight between Rhino and The Hulk.; ==Capabilities==; The Iron Spider Hulkbuster Armor was designed for maximum strength and durability at the cost of reduced mobility. Its capabilities are the following:; Waldoes: The Iron Spider Armor possessed four mechanical spider-arms, or "waldoes," created from rapidly grown mono-atomic iron alloy crystal. These could be used to manipulate objects.; Superhuman Strength: This armor was designed fight toe-to-toe with the Hulk in combat. It has strength that allows it to push the Hulk through several walls and its maximum strength is enough to hold off Rhino.; Flight: It can hover and fly through the use of jet thrusters in the boots.; Repulsors: It has more powerful versions of the repulsors. ============================================================ Iron Sight Kind: item Page: Iron Sight Formal name: Iron Sight Type: Drone; Technology First appearance: Superior Iron Man Vol 1 4 Created by: Tom Taylor; Yıldıray Çınar Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Island, San Francisco, California Previous owners: Tony Stark Properties: Facial Recognition/Tracking: Using information gathered by the citizen's phones, cameras, etc., the Iron Sight drones are capable for facial recognition and tracking. History: The Iron Sight was a network of drone cameras designed by Tony Stark, while under the influence of a magic spell that inverted his morality, to guard and control San Francisco. ============================================================ Ironheart Armor Model 1 Kind: item Page: Ironheart Armor Model 1 Formal name: Ironheart Armor Model 1 Type: Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 3 7 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Mike Deodato Jr. Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Lead designer: Riri Williams Additional designers: Tony Stark Place of creation: M.I.T.; Cambridge; Massachusetts Current owner: Riri Williams Model: 1 Version: 2 Properties: Riri's armor uses technology derived from the Iron Man Armor Model 41. The first version included communication systems and a HUD, however, it was still very crude and only allowed its user to fly. The lack of A.I. integration proved to be a liability, making it hard for its user to properly handle the suit. The second version of the armor included Riri's home-grown computer system.; ===Offensive Powers===; The initial version of the suit possessed no notable offensive abilities. It enhanced the strength of its wearer, allowing them to flip over a speeding truck, but it fractured on impact. When the armor was rebuilt, it included repulsor blasts and improved durability. A curious feature of the armor was the gauntlets' ability to propel away from the rest of the suit in order to physically attack a target from afar and then return to its wearer.; ===Defensive Powers===; This armor's first version featured poor hull integrity, breaking down on impact with a speeding truck. The second version was strong enough to resist impacts from giant monsters and deliver powerful punches. It was also capable of creating a "zero-point energy bubble" force-field to contain enemies. Magnetic force-fields can be used to attract objects at will. History: What started as a challenge for genius prodigy Riri Williams ended up becoming a secret project to create her own suit of armor. Using reverse-engineered technology from the outdated Iron Man Armor Model 41, Riri began constructing her own prototype Iron Man Armor, using stolen material from her college campus. However, when campus security became aware of her activities, Riri took the prototype and fled.; After flying around the country trying to get the hang of her suit's flying capabilities, Riri intercepted a couple of inmates escaping from the New Mexico State Penitentiary. She managed to stop the speeding truck they were using as a escape vehicle, but at the cost of her armor's integrity.; Using a improved version of her armor with an A.I. and advanced weaponry, Riri assisted Iron Man fight the forces of Captain Marvel during the second superhuman civil war. Riri continued to use the armor when she decided to carry on Iron Man's legacy after he fell into a coma. Riri would subsequently replace the crude suit with a much advanced version built with the help of an A.I. modeled after Tony Stark. Before ditching the suit, Riri used it for training against an army of Iron Man suits remotely controlled by the A.I. Stark. ============================================================ Ironheart Armor Model 2 Kind: item Page: Ironheart Armor Model 2 Formal name: Ironheart Armor Model 2 Type: Armor First appearance: Champions Vol 2 1 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Stefano Caselli Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Lead designer: Riri Williams Additional designers: Tony Stark Place of creation: Chicago; Illinois; Great Mound, Wakanda Place of destruction: Chitauri Prime Current owner: Riri Williams Material: Vibranium Model: 2 Version: 1 Properties: ===Overview===; A major upgrade over Riri William's first armor, this suit possesses radar systems and cameras to provide sensory enhancements. Normally, all of these functions are run by an artificial intelligence based on Tony Stark's personality, which is accessed through GPU, deep-learning data server systems. The suit's servers are additionally programmed to record audio logs.; The suit does not seem to grant its user abilities other than those of a basic Iron Man Armor. The armor is capable of moving autonomously in order to open up and encase its user, even as they are moving. The suit can additionally be controlled remotely and called upon by a special bracelet worn by Riri Williams.; ===Offensive Powers===; The Ironheart Armor provides its user with enhanced strength, capable of knocking back supervillains like the Rhino and Armadillo. Ranged weapons include the ability to fire repulsor blasts, and repulsor grenades. The suit can also release an electric discharge.; ===Defensive Powers===; The Ironheart Armor enhances its user's durability to an unknown extent. It is capable for taking multiple hits from Doombots, both energy rays and melee attacks. The suit is also equipped with energy shields capable of blocking lasers powerful enough to pierce effortlessly through a normal human.; In case the armor's user is knocked out unconscious, its A.I. can take control of the suit and fly to safety. In order to assist with the well-being of its user, the armor is equipped with internal stabilizers and aspirated medication. Emergency safeguards provide its user with the ability to prevent themselves from crashing if the suit's systems are down by accessing to manual controls. The suit comes equipped with a manual switch for emergency extractions located below on the left of the armor's ribcage. This switch is placed next to other three that will emit an electric discharge instead, for safety precaution. Notes: When first unveiled, it didn't feature the unibeam on its chest.; This suit's aesthetic is based on the Iron Man Armor Model 51, the Model-Prime Armor.; When the Poison Hive invaded Earth, they forced various superheroes to bond with Symbiotes with the intention to then assimilate them both. Ironheart was one of the heroes temporarily bonded to a Symbiote. Trivia: Unlike Iron Man's armor, Ironheart's lacks auto-locks on its knees. This once allowed Spider-Man to change her flight direction during a scuffle to cause her to crash by pulling her legs with webbing and bending her knees. History: This suit was built by Riri Williams as an improvement over her first armor, with assistance from an A.I. modeled after Tony Stark.; Ironheart's suit was compromised early on when she and Rescue were ambushed by a technopath villain, the Techno Golem, and her Biohack Ninja. The Techno Golem stripped Riri and Pepper of their suits and assimilated into her own. After tricking the villain into assimilating an Iron Man Armor which contained a disruptive virus, the Techno Golem's suit broke apart, and the individual components of Riri's armor reconstituted around herself.; Riri continued using this armor during her subsequent adventures, and she even became a member of the Champions. During an adventure in outer space to help Nova take down the rogue Chitauri warlord Warbringer, Ironheart recklessly attempted to take on Thanos, the ruler of the Chitauri. The alien despot effortlessly disintegrated Riri's armor and only spared her life since the Champions had unwittingly fought on his behalf by confronting the Warbringer. Since that was the only copy of the suit she had ever built, Riri was greatly shaken its lost, but managed to get back on her feet and build an improved new model. ============================================================ Iron Patriot Armor Model 2 Kind: item Page: Iron Patriot Armor Model 2 Formal name: Iron Patriot Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Gambit Vol 5 13 Created by: Nick Spencer; Butch Guice Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Iron Patriot Drones Current owner: Jim Rhodes Notes: This armor and Jim Rhodes' switch to the Iron Patriot mantle were introduced to reflect the character as he appeared in Iron Man 3 (film). In the movie, the American government has Jim Rhodes switch to the alias of Iron Patriot to invoke a better public response compared to the character's more violent alias of War Machine.; While visually different from the Iron Patriot Armor seen in Iron Man 3, this suit was drawn to look virtually identical to it by artist Joe Bennett in Iron Man Vol 4 20, Iron Man Vol 4 20, Iron Man Vol 4 20, Iron Man Vol 4 27, and Iron Man Vol 4 27.; Before the suit's introduction in Secret Avengers Vol 2 6, Jim Rhodes appeared wearing it two months earlier in Gambit Vol 5 13. In this appearance, the suit is colored silver and is mentioned to be a prototype, despite Secret Avengers (Vol. 2) #6 appearing to be Rhodes' very first interaction with the Iron Patriot Armor. Trivia: One of the key differences between this armor and the Iron Patriot Armor Model 1 is the color of the chestplate. This blue-colored portion in the Model 2 Armor is similar to a preliminary design for the Model 1 Armor. History: When S.H.I.E.L.D. set out to establish communication with a rogue group of sentient Iron Patriot Drones let loose by A.I.M., they deduced the best person to talk to them was Jim Rhodes, experienced both as an armor-wearer and a soldier.; After S.H.I.E.L.D. hacked into A.I.M.'s network, Rhodes interacted with the Iron Patriots' A.I. hivemind, who recognized him as "the Pilot" that had led their kin (the War Machine Armor) in many great battles. Rhodes convinced the A.I. its course of action was wrong, and suggested to personally show them what to do. The Iron Patriot Drones accepted Rhodey as their new leader, outfitting him with his very own distinctive Iron Patriot Armor.; As Iron Patriot, Rhodey continued using this armor after joining, and leaving, the Secret Avengers, later taking advantage of the rebranding to change his modus operandi, limiting his military involvement to homeland operations. In addition to his main armor, Rhodey possessed at least three spare units, all which were slightly modified by his niece Lila.; While Rhodey was on a mission in the Gulf of Mexico, the Iron Patriot Armor he was using was hacked by a group of domestic terrorists, causing it to shut down and drag Rhodes into the bottom of the ocean. Rhodey activated the armor's manual ejection to escape, destroying the suit in the process. Rhodes was later given one of the spare armors, albeit one modified by the terrorists that restricted Rhodey's control over it, and could even constrict him to death unless he agreed to kill a former vice-president.; After escaping from the same terrorists, who had captured Rhodey's family for leverage, Lila hacked into a second spare unit of the Iron Patriot Armor, controlling it remotely to rescue Rhodey's father Terrence. Terrence then used the spare armor to confront an armored agent of the terrorists in charge of forcing Rhodey to kill the vice-president.

The spell released the demon Aksha-Thushtra, imprisoned for years by Raama.

History: ===Origin===; The Iron-Bound Books of Shuma-Gorath were (apparently) magically created long before books existed and were crafted by humanity.

They then manipulated humans into using the book, thus enabling their creator to influence life on Earth.; ===Pre-Cataclysmic Age===; The iron-bound Books of Shuma-Gorath were used by Lemurian sorcerers, among others, to summon magical power for spell.; Over 19,000 years BC, Shuma-Gorath returned to Earth, and ruled the land that would become known as Cimmeria, from the mountain later known as Mount Crom, until the young god Crom led a shaman into obtaining three of the Iron-Bound Books, allowing Crom to seal Shuma-Gorath within the mountain.; ===Hyborian Age===; During the Hyborian Age, a few copies existed, possessed by various wizards and sorcerers:; The Stygian sorcerer Shu-Onoru of Kheshatta possessed the tomes of Skelos, Vathelos the Blind, and Shuma-Gorath, which were accessed by his slave Zula, the last of the Zamballah.; After marrying, the sorcerers Kulan Gath and Vammatar tried to use the books to release the enslaved Shuma-Gorath, but were foiled by Crom.; ====Age of Conan====; 100 years later, Shuma-Gorath manipulated the mercenary Hob into releasing him, but was foiled by Conan who hurled the books into Crom's storm.

It altered their appearance and past history. Riri was transformed into the virtuous paladin Lady Ironheart, and her suit became a chainmail armor accompanied by a mace. The armor was further altered after Vivid Vessel fused herself with it to empower Riri. History: Following the destruction of the Ironheart Armor Model 2 at the hands of Thanos on Chitauri Prime, Riri Williams, with encouragement by her fellow Champion Viv, began construction on a new suit of armor. The end result was the Ironheart 3.0, which Riri completed shortly after returning to Earth.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; Compared to the Model 2, the Model 3 features a revised design which improves many of her previous suit's facilities, specifically durability and aerodynamics. The new design makes the suit lighter, faster, and more powerful and can be stored in a specialized bracer worn on Riri's left wrist when not in use. When activated, the armor deploys and assembles around the user in a matter of seconds.

Using the symbiote-derived shapeshifting capabilities, the Iron Ranger armor is capable of manifesting weapons such as claws, blades, and plasma cannons. The Iron Ranger armor can also fire nets formed from the Carnage symbiote's constituent matter. History: Using his rival Tony Stark's Iron Man Armor as a template, Michael Hall created five suits of biomechanical armor using samples taken from the Carnage symbiote. Five PMCs - codenamed Royal Blue, Burnt Orange, Firebrick, Paris Green, and Gun Metal - were equipped with these suits to serve as Hall Industries' personal superhero team, the Iron Rangers.; When Tanis Nieves and a truck containing Frances Barrison were attacked by the Doppelganger, Royal Blue and Firebrick were dispatched and seemingly killed the monster; getting into an altercation with Spider-Man and Iron Man. When the two superheroes attempted to infiltrate Hall Industries R&D facility, they were confronted by the entire team in a terse standoff that was broken when Dr. Nieves was taken over by the Carnage symbiote.; When the Carnage symbiote reunited with Cletus Kasady, the serial killer used its newly developed ability to control offshoots of itself to kill the Iron Rangers and assimilate their armor, becoming "Mass Carnage". Mass Carnage was able to hack Iron Man's Bleeding Edge Armor using the suits' biotechnology and briefly assimilated it, but was overwhelmed by Spider-Man and Dr. Nieves, who had bonded to the biomechanical Scorn symbiote. While the Mass Carnage construct was destroyed, by that time Carnage had escaped and was remotely piloting it as a diversion. ============================================================ Iron Monger 2000 Armor (Earth-61340) Kind: item Page: Iron Monger 2000 Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol 2 42 Created by: Ryan North; Erica Henderson; Derek Charm; Naomi Franquiz Reality: Earth-61340 Current owner: Iron Monger 2000 Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The armor suit used by Iron Monger 2000. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK IX (Earth-8096) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK IX (Earth-8096) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK IX Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (animated series) Season 2 2 Created by: Kevin Burke; Chris Wyatt Reality: Earth-8096 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: MK Version: IX Trivia: The design of this suit in Season 2 is inspired by the Mark VI Armor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe featured prominently in the movies Iron Man 2 (film) and Marvel's The Avengers.

The armor was imbued with the powerful magic of the Dark Consortium, a cabal of netherbeings who sponsored Roxxon. In order to contain the armor's dark energy flow, Justine stole Iron Man's Mysterium Armor to use its mysterium as a stabilizing agent.; Justine's donning of the suit was brief, as the Dark Consortium's broker, the demon Belasco, stripped it of its mysterium in compensation for Iron Man thwarting Roxxon's merger. Seeing no use in the armor, Justine left it in the hands of Stark. Since the armor's components seemed intact despite the absence of the mysterium, Tony quickly analyzed the Iron Monger with the help of Ironheart and the Scarlet Witch, and was able to determine that component had only served as a stabilizer. The Scarlet Witch warned Tony not to use the armor, since its magic would corrupt its wearer.; During Doctor Doom's temporary conquest of the Earth, Iron Man saw himself desperate to upgrade his jerry-rigged Improvised Armor. Hoping to stave off the Iron Monger's corrupting effect, Tony retrofitted portions of the suit into add-ons for his own armor. The plan failed, and Tony's judgement was gradually clouded by the Iron Monger's magic. The add-ons' corrupting effect became apparent when Tony briefly shared them with the Winter Soldier when he was piloting the Crimson Dynamo Armor and it sent him on a brief rampage before Tony reclaimed them. Tony's ally, the sorcerer Vishte Taru, drew out the magical infection from Tony's body, at the same time turning the Iron Monger into a suit for himself in a misguided bid to defeat Doctor Doom single-handedly after brokering with the Dark Consortium for power. Iron Man managed to defeat Visthe, and he remained trapped in Limbo alongside the Iron Monger Armor. ============================================================ Ironheart Armor MK I (Earth-199999) (Earth-199999; Earth-TRN1494) Kind: item Page: Ironheart Armor MK I (Earth-199999) Formal name: Ironheart Armor Other aliases: Mark I Armor; Ironheart Armor Model 1 Type: Ironheart Armor First appearance: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Created by: Ryan Coogler; Joe Robert Cole Reality: Earth-199999; Earth-TRN1494 Origin: Prototype armor Lead designer: Riri Williams Place of creation: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts Place of destruction: Cambridge, Massachusetts Current owner: Riri Williams Alternate owners: Riri Williams Model: Ironheart Version: I ============================================================ Ironheart Armor MK II (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Ironheart Armor MK II (Earth-199999) Formal name: Ironheart Armor Other aliases: Mark II Armor Type: Ironheart Armor First appearance: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever; } Created by: Ryan Coogler; Joe Robert Cole Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Battlesuit Lead designer: Wakandan Design Group Additional designers: Riri Williams Place of creation: Shuri's Lab, Wakanda Current owner: Wakandan Design Group Previous owners: Riri Williams Model: Ironheart Version: II ============================================================ Ironheart Armor MK III (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Ironheart Armor MK III (Earth-199999) Formal name: Ironheart Armor Type: Ironheart Armor First appearance: Ironheart (TV series) Season 1 1; } Created by: Chinaka Hodge Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Battlesuit Lead designer: Riri Williams Place of creation: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts Place of destruction: Chicago, Illinois Current owner: Riri Williams Model: Ironheart Version: III ============================================================ Ironheart Armor MK IV (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Ironheart Armor MK IV (Earth-199999) Formal name: Ironheart Armor Type: Ironheart Armor First appearance: Ironheart (TV series) Season 1 1; } Created by: Chinaka Hodge Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Battlesuit Lead designer: Riri Williams Place of creation: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts Place of destruction: Chicago, Illinois Current owner: Riri Williams Model: Ironheart Version: IV ============================================================ Ironheart Armor MK V (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Ironheart Armor MK V (Earth-199999) Formal name: Ironheart Armor Model V Type: Ironheart Armor First appearance: Ironheart (TV series) Season 1 5 Created by: Angela Barnes; Cristian Martinez Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Battlesuit made with parts of a Plymouth Barracuda, later infused with magic by Zelma Stanton Lead designer: Riri Williams Place of creation: Chicago Current owner: Riri Williams History: After her previous armor was destroyed by Zeke Stane, Riri Williams ran to her mum to ask for help, so she took her to her step-father's garage, revealing that she bought back his Plymouth Barracuda that Riri had sold for money to build her armor years prior.; With help from friends and family, she used parts of the car to build a new armor to confront The Hood once and for all, and had her sorceress friend Zelma Stanton infuse it with magic, accidentally erasing N.A.T.A.L.I.E. in the process.; Not wanting to waste any more time, RiRi immediately flew to Hood's headquarters, where she had to once again fight Zeke, who's cybernetic body she freed from Parker's control after "rebooting" him with a knee to the groin.; She then confronted Hood, asking for the cloak, to which he refused, so she easily defeats him with the suit's magic and takes away his magical cloak once and for all. ============================================================ Ironalert System Kind: item Page: Ironalert System Formal name: Ironalert System Type: Technology First appearance: Avengers: Armageddon Vol 1 1 Created by: Chip Zdarsky; Delio Diaz; Frank Alpizar Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: The Ironalert System sifts through data away from human eyes and only provides warnings on impending threats.

Feeling indirectly responsible for Doom's rise to power, Stark designed the Ironalert System to monitor and evaluate threats before they could reach crisis status.; When Thunderbolt Ross occupied Latveria and set his sights on enforcing democracy on a worldwide scale by force, the Ironalert System warned Stark that the general's moves were so perfectly coordinated, it made him suspect that he was using predictive technology in his strategies.

In 2018's Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1, it was split back into Models 13 and 14. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22, 29 and 37 (to 17, 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. Trivia: The Modular Armor is quite popular as it was/is usually used by the 1990s animated version of Iron Man and Capcom video games 90s-2000s version of Iron Man. History: This armor was a modular component system rather than a fully integrated suit. As such, each individual system (helmet, boots etc.) may have had different features.; There were also plug-in points for various modules. One of these was the Hulkbuster add-on used when Hulk confronted Iron Man over the production of gamma bombs when part of Stane International. The two met at a production plant. Stark acknowledged that Stane had conducted many illegal and unethical operations, but explained that this news was nothing more than a smear campaign. The two were able to settle the dispute and dismantle the plant. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 12 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 12 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 12 Other aliases: Telepresence Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 290 Created by: Len Kaminski; Kevin Hopgood Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Remote unit employing telepresence technology Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: H.O.M.E.R.

Everything from flight to life support utilized the magical energy. A facemask could be lowered for additional protection. If need be the wearer could eject and use a normal Iron Man armor.; Experimental "Type X" repulsors could be used to boost the armor's punches in addition to the standard blast. The uni-beam fired large bursts of energy. Also impervious to any kinds of harm except, oddly enough, Thor.; The Asgardian Crystal empowers the armor and allows it to absorb and manipulate Asgardian energies effectively giving him Odin Force. It was even able to stop Mjolnir in mid-flight. Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 23 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 22 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13.

History: Thor, God of Thunder, provided Tony Stark with an Asgardian crystal charged with immense energy to study. The hope was that its power could act as a safer, cleaner energy source than the current technology on Earth possessed.; Asgard moved over Slokovia after Asgardian worshipers were killed. Storms raged and the Valkyrior were sent to collect the dead. Doctor Doom was secretly manipulating events, supplying one group with weapons while offering the others asylum in Latveria.; Stark was asked by the US government to talk to Thor and convince him to leave before United Nations forces entered the area. Thor refused to do so.; Doom then contacted Stark and told him he would need to use the crystal to have any chance at stopping Thor, who now wielded his father's Odin-Force in addition to his already great power.; Stark designed the Thorbuster armor, giving it a look somewhat similar to the Destroyer armor and used it in a confrontation with Thor. Thor was surprised at its power and that Tony would turn a 'gift from the gods into a weapon.' He destroyed the reactor and Iron Man ejected from it.; Only the intervention of Captain America was sufficient to prevent military involvement. He too tried to talk Thor down, but got his shield dented in the process. When Thor realized he was attacking his old friends, he stopped. After repairing Cap's shield, he moved Asgard away from the area.; Doom was able to gain the design plans for the reactor, but Stark countered by infecting his systems with a computer virus. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 17 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 17 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 17 Other aliases: Lunar Armor; Test Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 3 15 Created by: Chris Claremont; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 17 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 18 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual.

History: This armor was used by Tony Stark while on-board the Clement during a mission to destroy an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Titanium Man stowed away on the ship and attempted to sabotage the operation but failed.; ==Capabilities==; This armor was designed for the increased gravity conditions of hyperspace travel. Its limits were unknown, but Tony was safe at 50 Gs. The design made sure that blood remained in the limbs rather than collecting in the torso.; A combination of pseudo-musculature, mobility software and a magnetic/jet compensator helped the wearer move around.; Tony was still affected by G-Loc (loss of consciousness), possible nitrogen narcosis, and the bends, all of which were side-effects of hyper-gravity travel. If he became sick, the armor cleaned and disinfected itself.; An intermix mask worn under the helmet regulated oxygen, as normal air under high gravity condition was dangerous.; It was unknown if this armor could fly.; Weapons systems were unknown; presumably it had functioning repulsors and a uni-beam. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 18 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 18 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 18 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Bad Blood Vol 1 4 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 18 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 19 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual.

History: When Stark realized he had sold Justin Hammer all copies of the Evader Armor, he went to confront Hammer on his orbiting space station using this suit.; ==Capabilities==; This armor emphasizes stealth, and seems to be designed to function in space only. It is less durable than earlier designs but is stealthier and easier to control.; The armor is covered with an experimental compression gel before launching. It uses a booster rig with solid-fuel rockets rather than its own supply to leave Earth's atmosphere.; Instead of traditional boot jets, the suit uses compressed gas maneuvering pods. Retro burst stabilizers located at the knees and hips help maintain attitude control.; A solar sail assists in both reentry and recharging the armor.; It possesses repulsors, a uni-beam, pulse bolts and explosive 'concussion buds.'; ECM jamming and a stealth mode mask its presence. It possesses various sensors including a thermal scan.; Like other space armors, auto-sealants protect the wearer and an autopilot can return it to Earth. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 23 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 23 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 23 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 3 71 Created by: Robin Laws; Robert Teranishi Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 23 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 24 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual.

History: The ablative armor was a prototype space armor designed for impact-heavy environments. It was used to battle an alien nanoplasm that had ruined the Iron Man Armor Model 20.; ==Capabilities==; A kiln produced honey-comb shaped polymer tiles. These were held in place by a force field and replaced after impacted. Tiles could also be used as chaff or as projectiles.; It possessed repulsors and a uni-beam. It had diamond-tipped blades for cutting samples. A bio-containment field prevented contamination of the armor or samples gathered. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 26 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 26 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 26 Other aliases: Gamma Killer Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 2 72 Created by: Bruce Jones; Mike Deodato Jr.; Dougie Braithwaite Origin: Tony Stark was approached by the US government on developing a suit to protect vital employees from a nuclear attack. Bruce Banner was also asked to provide his input on protecting the suit from gamma radiation. Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Bruce Banner Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 26 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 27 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 26 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, implicitly moving up this armor's designation back to Model 27. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22, 29 and 37 (to 17, 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. History: Before finishing the Model 26, both Tony Stark and Bruce Banner worked on two early prototypes of this armor supposedly with the same functions.; Banner's addition was "RG-27", a special compound that neutralizes gamma radiation. Since it is most effective in liquid or gas form, a series of tubes were built into the armor for irrigation. This enables the armor not only to withstand radiation, but also allows it to decontaminate areas.; To expose a government conspiracy, the two faked a quarrel over some of their designs. Stark unveiled a finished version of the suit to battle the Hulk.; However, Stark seemed to be acting strangely while wearing the suit. A problem with the irrigation system was discovered. The Hulk was able to help Stark shut it down before gamma poisoning set in.; ==Capabilities==; The armor is designed to attract radiation into the armor where it is converted into usable power. This greatly enhances its strength.; Through absorbing ambient radiation the armor is able to decontaminate irradiated areas.; It also possesses repulsors and a unibeam. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLII (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLII (Earth-199999) Formal name: Autonomic Prehensile Propulsion Suit Other aliases: Mark XLII Armor; Bouncing Badass Baby Brother; The Prodigal Son Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man 3 (film) Created by: Drew Pearce; Shane Black; Phil Saunders; Ryan Meinerding Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Forty-second generation Iron Man armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Tony Stark's workshop (Malibu, California) Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Pepper Potts (temporarily) Model: Iron Man Version: MK XLII Notes: This armor was designed by Ryan Meinerding and Phil Saunders.; Early rumors mentioned this armor to be MK XLVII (47), but it was later confirmed this armor's correct name to be MK XLII (42). See talk page for more information. Trivia: The MK XLII appears in Marvel: Avengers Alliance as part of a special Iron Man 3 (film) promotion.; The armor's predominantly gold color scheme was an intended callback to Iron Man's comic roots, when he sported a golden armor. History: Described as the "badass new baby brother," the XLII saw little action time compared to its 'brothers', mainly because it was still in the prototype stage.; Initial tests of the suit were rather chaotic, as Tony had to find the appropriate speed at which the different parts of the body had to travel in order to prevent injury when they assembled on him. Later, while he was creating new technologies in his workshop, Tony tested the suit's ability to be remotely controlled.; During his sleep, Tony was having nightmares, and subconsciously summoned the Mark XLII, which awakened and terrified Pepper.; After Stark publicly threatened the Mandarin following the near-death experience of his friend Happy Hogan during one of the terrorist's attacks, Stark used the MK XLII to guard his Malibu Mansion in case he was attacked. When his residence was in fact under attack by armed helicopters, he commanded this suit to assemble on Pepper Potts in order to protect her until she could get to safety. As soon as Potts was outside the collapsing mansion, Tony recalled it to fight the helicopters, but the suit had numerous system failures which prevented him from flying or launching missiles. He managed to dispatch two of the three helicopters, but found himself trapped on the sea floor by debris from his crumbling mansion. J.A.R.V.I.S. detached the suit's right gauntlet to free Tony, and after recombining, the suit, with Tony unconscious inside, burst from sea and proceeded to the next location in Tony's flight plan: Tennessee.; The flight was interrupted when the armor ran out of power; Tony still reached Tennessee, but crashed in a forest. He got himself and the armor to a suburban shed, where he met a young boy named Harley. Harley helped with acquiring a few sundry items needed to get the functional again, and aided further while Stark made his way to Miami.; Stark was caught confronting Trevor Slattery, an actor who had portrayed the Mandarin, and imprisoned in a mansion. He summoned the MK XLII, but only one gauntlet and a combined leg assembly appeared, as the rest of the suit was blocked from departing Harley's garage by a locked door. He fought guards for time some with only the two pieces present, and it wasn't until he got the entire suit assembled that he saw one of Killian's men, Savin, flying away from the mansion in the Iron Patriot Armor taken from Jim Rhodes. Low on power, the MK XLII was unable to affect a pursuit however, and Tony resorted to resuming charging it with a car battery found on the property.; Once Tony and Rhodes had uncovered Aldrich Killian's plan to use the Iron Patriot as a Trojan horse to enter Air Force One and kidnap President Ellis, he and Rhodes set off to foil the plan. Tony used the telepresence feature of the Mark XLII in an attempt to protect the president aboard Air Force One, but found that President Ellis had already been taken and that Eric Savin was still on board. Tony fought the man, and ultimately killed him with the suit's uni-beam, but the subsequent break-up of the aircraft saw thirteen survivors of Savin's attack sucked out and plummeting to the ground. Stark was able to use the suit to save all thirteen, but the Mark XLII came through the rescue in pieces after he accidentally piloted it into the path of a truck.; Stark and Rhodes meanwhile continued their race to a Miami dock where they hoped to stop Killian. During the ensuing battle, the MK XLII responded to the call to gather all remaining Iron Man suits, and finally came to Stark late in the battle when he was fighting Killian. The suit approached Stark in order to suit him up, but collided and fell apart. Stark ensnared his enemy in the collected pieces and triggered the suit's self-destruct, leaving little left of it but a heavily ravaged helmet.; The MK XLII was later rebuilt, and remained in storage at the Avengers Tower. When Stark finished moving to the New Avengers Facility in Upstate New York, the suit was was one of the many objects and devices left for the final step of the relocation process. Adrian Toomes attempted to hijack the jet that was carrying these items, but Spider-Man's intervention prevented him from making off with it or its items, though the airplane crash landed into Coney Island in the process.; ==Capabilities==; The MK XLII is comprised of separate pieces, apparently with individual battery units, that can fly to a designated humanoid target and form a suit around such a body. It is controlled from state-of-art chips implanted in Stark's left forearm, allowing him to mentally direct the pieces. Stark commonly uses hand gestures to help guide the modules, although the fully formed suit has also been commanded by Stark's subconscious during REM sleep.; When the pieces latch onto a target body, the solid plates extend articulated pieces that reach out to latch with the adjoining component piece; for example a rerebrace and gauntlet will jointly create the elbow connection between them. This gives the Iron Man Mark XLII a level of adaptability previously not seen in an Iron Man suit, and could form around a slim female form with no loss of articulation.; The fifteen modular pieces that comprise the Mark XLII are:; Backplate, with attached Helmet; Brestplate; Gauntlets (x2); Cuisses (x2); Codpiece; Loin guard; Rerebraces (x2); Pauldrons; Sollerets/Sabatons, with attached greaves (x2); Tail guard; Faceplate; MK XLII features common weaponry for Iron Man, including repulsor rays, unibeam, flash grenades, and an array of missiles with a targeting system run by J.A.R.V.I.S. A Head-Up Display includes the A.I.'s monitoring capabilities and observational protocol, a Global Positioning System, target scanning, and displays for navigation, power level, and vital signs. The modular power systems ensure that the MK XLII is adaptable, and yet the lack of a constant tie to a central arc reactor also leaves it more vulnerable to power loss than many previous Iron Man suits.; Clear; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; In Earth-91119, the genius of Tony Stark shines bright in this suit of Iron Man armor from Stark Enterprises!; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLVII (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLVII (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK XLVII Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Spider-Man: Homecoming Created by: Jonathan Goldstein; John Francis Daley; Jon Watts; Christopher Ford; Chris McKenna; Erik Sommers; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Forty-seventh generation Iron Man armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: MK XLVII Trivia: The design of the MK XLVII is a recolored version of the MK XLVI with a colorway that homages Ultimate Iron Man. This is because Spider-Man: Homecoming production studio Columbia Pictures didn't have enough visual effects budget for a brand new suit, with the colorway homage being requested by Kevin Feige.; In the same way in which the MK XLVI is a repainted version of a previous suit with the color scheme of Ultimate Iron Man, toy manufacturer Hasbro once released an action figure named the [http://marvelousnews.com/database/index.php?itemid=1599 Iron Man Ultimate Armor] as part of their Iron Man 2 (film) Concept Art series of action figures. This figure was a repaint of the Iron Man Armor MK IV with the color scheme of Ultimate Iron Man. History: This armor was built by Tony Stark some time after his fallout with Captain America. It appeared to be almost entirely similar to the Iron Man Armor MK XLVI, aside from the use of two-toned silver painting in the lower torso, upper arms, and upper thighs.; When Spider-Man plummeted into a river tangled in a parachute deployed by his suit following a brief confrontation against the airborne Adrian Toomes, Tony had the remotely-controlled MK XLVII rescue him. The suit returned to Stark's base in autopilot mode once Tony disconnected from the armor after scolding Spider-Man and ordering him not to pursue Toomes.; When a Chitauri-based weapon went haywire and split a Staten Island ferry in two during an ensuing confrontation between Spider-Man and Toomes, Stark flew to the scene equipped with the MK XLVII in order prevent a tragedy. He deployed miniature repulsor thrusters on the sides of the boat and used the armor's laser to crudely weld together the two halves, thus keeping the boat steady long enough until it could be evacuated. He subsequently spoke privately with Spider-Man, and stepped out of his armor to chastise him. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XXXIII (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XXXIII (Earth-199999) Formal name: Enhanced Energy Suit Other aliases: Mark XXXIII Armor; Silver Centurion Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man 3 (film) Created by: Drew Pearce; Shane Black; Andy Park Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Thirty-third generation Iron Man armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark's home Current owner: Tony Stark Version: XXXIII Notes: This armor was first revealed in the application [http://www.facebook.com/ironman/app_146378445531115 Iron Man 3: Armor Unlock] for the official [http://www.facebook.com/ironman Iron Man 3 Facebook page], in which a participant has to correctly answer sets of questions about the cinematic version of Iron Man in order to unlock exclusive looks of new Iron Man armors to appear in the Iron Man 3 movie and the chance to win a trip to the premiere of the film in Los Angeles. Trivia: This suit is based on the Silver Centurion armor from Earth-616. History: The thirty-third Iron Man suit created by Tony Stark was an enhanced energy suit nicknamed "the Silver Centurion". It has a slight protective force field, which allows the suit to attract or repulse objects using its magnetic polarity. The suit is also capable of firing pulse cannons that build in intensity the further they travel.; The Silver Centurion suit was among those summoned by Stark to battle Extremis-enhanced soldiers assisting Aldrich Killian's plot. Initially delivered to the battle by Stark's AI program J.A.R.V.I.S., the Silver Centurion became the first of the Iron Man armor suits that Stark used against the assembled Extremis force.; When Stark attempted to rescue Pepper Potts, Killian ripped the front of the Silver Centurion's breastplate out in a surprise attack, before superheating the upper abdominal plating.

By becoming his herald Tony got the Power Cosmic infused with himself and his armor which turned dark yellow with an aura. Tony used the Power Cosmic to trick Galactus into devouring a planet with an unstable uranium core and send him into a long slumber. Later Tony lost the Power Cosmic and his armor turned into its regular powers and coloring. History: The 50th suit of armor developed by Tony Stark. It was first deployed when Iron Man's MK XLIX armor was stolen from him by M.O.D.O.K. for the Red Skull.; ==Capabilities==; While its design is similar to the Mark XLIX, its energy input is far greater.; The armor's weaponry includes repulsors, unibeam, and missiles. It comes equipped with a Head-Up Display and an on-board A.I. J.A.R.V.I.S. for monitoring, targeting, and scanning purposes.; == Alternate Reality Versions ==; === Reality warped by Squadron Supreme (Earth-TRN524) ===; In this reality, created by the Squadron Supreme when they used the Reality Stone, Iron Man and the rest of the Avengers were turned into villains. Iron Man's armor was colored black and gold. It was destroyed when Iron Man sacrificed himself to save the Avengers from Nighthawk. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XIV (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XIV (Earth-12041) Formal name: Iron Man Armor Mark XIV Other aliases: Hulkbuster Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Ultimate Spider-Man (animated series) Season 1 22 Created by: Man of Action Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Tower Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The Hulkbusters design changes throughout the series; When first appearing in Ultimate Spider-Man (animated series), the armor resembles like that of Earth-616.; Throughout a majority of Marvel's Avengers Assemble and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., the armor had a more unique and original design.; Around the third season of Avengers Assemble, the armor's appearance now resembles that of Earth-199999. History: The Hulkbuster was initially created by Tony Stark to be able go up against Hulk should he ever be a threat. The armor can also be used to fight against other heavy hitters.; The Hulkbuster along with some of Iron Man's other armors was being controlled by Doctor Octopus in an attempt to steal the specs for his Arc Reactor. The Hulkbuster was damaged by Iron Man and Spider-Man.; Some time after Hulk formed his team, Tony Stark created 5 new Hulkbusters, each one was modeled to take on a specific member of the agents of S.M.A.S.H. in case they got out of control. Leader hijacks the Hulkbusters to attack the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. Iron Man comes to their aid and helps to fight the Hulkbusters. Iron Man uses his holograms to fool the Hulkbusters into thinking that they destroyed them. Iron Man showed them footage on the Stealth-Bot infecting a virus in the Hulkbusters armor so that they can be controlled from the outside. Using parts from the defeated Hulkbusters, the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. use them to take on the remaining Hulkbusters. The Hulkbusters then activate magnetizing beams to combine all of them into one giant Hulkbuster as it captures Iron Man and flies off. The Agents of S.M.A.S.H. pursue the giant Hulkbuster where Iron Man states that his Arc Reactor is being used to power the giant Hulkbuster and use it as a bomb where Iron Man and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. will be blamed for the city's destruction. After freeing Iron Man, Hulk redirects the defeated Hulkbuster into the river. Iron Man states that he will dismantle the Hulkbusters, but Hulk insists that he keep one Hulkbuster in case he gets out of control.; Abomination gains some Hulkbusters that obey his commands after he was pardoned and reinstated into the U.S. Army . Abomination used the Hulkbusters to take over Vista Verde. When the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. return, they end up having to fight Abomination and the Hulkbusters. After the Gamma Hammer that came under Abomination's control is destroyed by Hulk, the rest of the Hulkbusters were destroyed by the rest of S.M.A.S.H.; S.H.I.E.L.D. had created Hulkbuster armor based on the Iron Spider armor; it was an experiment designed by Curt Connors to defeat very big menaces. It was later used by Spider-Man to stop the fight between Rhino and The Hulk.; Tony had created individual Hulkbusters that were each designed for members of the Avengers to use. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLIV (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLIV (Earth-199999) Formal name: Extra Heavy-Duty Modular Armor Other aliases: Hulkbuster; Veronica Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Age of Ultron Created by: Joss Whedon; Josh Herman; Josh Nizzi Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: The Hulkbuster was an exoskeleton add-on to the MK XLIII designed for confrontations with the Hulk. Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Bruce Banner Place of creation: Avengers Tower (New York) Current owner: Tony Stark Dimensions: 3m / 9'10" Version: MK XLIV Trivia: The codename "Veronica" is a reference to Archie Comics. Given like Bruce Banner the protagonist, Archie Andrews, has a relationship with a woman named Betty, the armor designed to take down the Hulk goes for Betty Cooper's rival Veronica Lodge.; A Hulkbuster Armor was originally going to appear in Iron Man 3 as part of the Iron Legion, but it was eliminated to save the suit for a more featured role. History: The Mark XLIV Armor (also known as Hulkbuster) is a heavy-duty exoskeleton add-on to the Mark XLIII, designed for confrontations with Bruce Banner's alter ego, the Hulk. Banner himself helped Tony Stark with the armor, which was planned as a "last resort" to control the Hulk.; When the Hulk went on a rampage in South Africa after Banner was psychologically attacked by Wanda Maximoff, Tony was forced to put "Veronica" into action as all other Avengers were either disabled or otherwise occupied. Deployed from a Stark Enterprises satellite in orbit, the re-entry vehicle deployed pieces of the MK XLIV which in turn assembled around Tony's armor. After a drawn-out battle, Tony knocked out the Hulk by tackling him into a skyscraper under construction, and followed up the attack with a hard punch.; The Hulkbuster was later kept in storage in Avengers Tower. When Tony sold the tower, the Hulkbuster was loaded onto a cargo plane headed to Avengers Compound, however the plane was intercepted by the Vulture and ended up crashing on Coney Island.; ==Capabilities==; Modular Technology: The Hulkbuster suit is deployed from an orbital drop pod called Veronica, that uses its own repulsor thruster to hover in the near vicinity of a commanding Iron Man suit. Veronica then deploys various modules as required, and has spare modules to replace any that are damaged beyond effectiveness. Using independent propulsion systems, each module can fly to the user and assemble into a complete Hulkbuster suit. The inner Iron Man suit is contained entirely within the torso of the Hulkbuster, allowing for the Hulkbuster's limbs to be jettisoned and replaced without harming the wearer. Replacement limb modules are available for different roles, including oversized arms for conventional manipulation, a pile driver arm for high impact battering, and an arm that can open and trap an enemy's arm inside it.; Enhanced Strength: The suit was designed to match the incredible strength of the Hulk, being powered by over eleven arc reactors in order to grant the strength required. The suit has enough strength to knock the Hulk about two streets away with one punch.; Enhanced Durability: The armor was built to be much stronger than any previous suits, and to withstand extreme impact damage.; Flight: The Hulkbuster is equipped with repulsors that allow it to fly.; Repulsor Beams: The armor has the ability to shoot repulsor beams strong enough to hold down Hulk. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLIII (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLIII (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK XLIII Other aliases: Mark XLIII Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Operation Hydra Vol 1 1 Created by: Joss Whedon; Ryan Meinerding Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Forty-third generation Iron Man armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: Iron Man Version: MK XLIII History: The Iron Man Armor MK XLIII was Tony Stark's forty-third Iron Man suit, and it was the first armor created some time after the battle on the Norco. It was first seen when the Avengers attacked the Hydra base in Sokovia.; The suit was ultimately replaced by the MK XLV.; ==Capabilities==; The MK XLIII appears to be a fully finished version of the MK XLII, it is comprised of separate pieces, apparently with individual battery units, that can fly to a designated humanoid target and form a suit around such a body. It is controlled from state-of-art chips implanted in Stark's left forearm, allowing him to mentally direct the pieces. Stark commonly uses hand gestures to help guide the modules.; When the pieces latch onto a target body, the solid plates extend articulated pieces that reach out to latch with the adjoining component piece; for example a rerebrace and gauntlet will jointly create the elbow connection between them.; Repulsors: It can assist Stark during flight operations and provide lift. It can also be used to fire highly-charged and high-density beams.; Infra-Red Scan: It is also used in assisting Stark to see behind the walls of the HYDRA Research Base in Sokovia and to locate Loki's Sceptre.; Shoulder Mini-Gun Pod: Like other armors, it is also armed with a miniaturized weapons system located below the shoulder plates that can fire twelve shots at a time, six from each shoulder. It is assisted by a computer guiding system to fire at multiple individual enemies.; Anti-Armor Tank Missile: The armor is equipped with missiles that is hidden in its forearm gauntlet. It is used to destroy Ultron's body in South Africa.; The MK XLIII serves as a core unit for another Iron Man armor, the Iron Man MK XLIV (Hulkbuster Armor). ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLVI (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLVI (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK XLVI Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Captain America: Civil War Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Forty-sixth generation Iron Man armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: Iron Man Armor Mark XLVI Version: MK XLVI Trivia: According to designer Phil Saunders, even though it was never shown, the MK XLVI is functionally similar to the MK XLII, in the sense that Tony Stark can call each piece to him separately. History: This suit was created by Tony Stark some point after the Battle for Sokovia, it was first seen being used when he tried to apprehend Captain America and other rogue heroes at the Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany. During the ensuing battle, the suit suffered minor damage after a miniaturized Ant-Man got into the suit and began to randomly tear components apart.; The suit was then deployed when Iron Man flew to Siberia in order to help Captain America and the Winter Soldier confront Helmut Zemo. Iron Man turned against his allies when Zemo revealed to him that the Winter Soldier had been responsible for his parents' death in 1991, fueled by rage both because of said discovery and because Captain America had known all along about the Starks' fate but had decided to remain silent. The Winter Soldier damaged the armor's right repulsor, and Captain America busted the suit's right boot, in an attempt at destabilizing Iron Man's flight capabilities.; As the battle escalated, the Winter Soldier attempted to rip off the arc reactor from the armor's chest before being knocked out. Captain America eventually took advantage of said inflicted damage and impaired the suit's power source after hitting it with the side of his shield. He then escaped with the Winter Soldier after leaving Iron Man hindered.; ==Capabilities==; Rapid Deployment: The MK XLVI Iron Man is capable of partial or full deployment onto its wearer at a comparatively high rate when compared to its predecessors. Mounted in a suitable storage receptacle, the deployment can start from a simple finger press of a button, which locks on the associated gauntlet followed by the rest of the Iron Man suit within scant seconds. Once donned, the helmet assembly is also capable of quick retraction and re-engagement, effectively snapping on or off in a second.; Repulsors: Iron Man's primary mode of attack, and flight part of the flight control and propulsion system, are mounted in the palms of the gauntlets, the soles of the boots, and in the centrally mounted chest aperture.; Unibeam: Another of the primary features, it is shot from the suit chest's reactor. It is powerful to shoot the Winter Soldier's bionic arm off with a single burst; IEM Projectiles: It is fired from the forearm is capable of neutralizing the electrical system of an object.; Manacle launcher: The MK XLVI Iron Man is equipped with a projectile launcher that fires a self-locking shackle that effectively combines the effects of bolas and handcuffs into a single targeted projectile. This system is arm-mounted, and appears to be a single-shot device with the shackles themselves being strong enough to restrain Steven Rogers.; Mini-missile launcher: This suit has six mini-missile launchers on each shoulder, along with one on the back of each gauntlet. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK L (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK L (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK L Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War Prelude Vol 1 1 Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 50 Version: 1 Notes: This armor is an adaptation of the Bleeding Edge Armor from the comics.; Unlike the MK L, the Bleeding Edge Armor was part of Tony's biology, and the nanobots that formed it were stored inside the hollow of his bones.; The design process for the MK L was approached from a different angle because it didn't require the traditional separate panels and cut lines of previous armor designs since it was made out of nanotechnology. To prevent it from looking like rubber or "Terminator T-1000-like," the suit was designed around accordion-like semi-rigid joints in the areas that would demand it. Additionally, specific attention was paid to getting the right balance of organic and mechanical aesthetic to mantain the feel of an Iron Man suit.; Designer Phil Saunders considered this armor was bound to be the most controversial movie Iron Man design yet because it was a departure from what people are used to. Trivia: In a scrapped idea for Avengers: Infinity War, when Doctor Strange was being taken prisoner of Ebony Maw, Tony would have sent the MK L Armor onto Strange to protect him, with the armor forming itself around the Eye of Agamotto and using it as its power source. In turn, Tony would have donned the Cloak of Levitation.; Tony Stark was originally going to wear the MK L in Avengers: Endgame until it was replaced by a new suit, the MK LXXXV, during post-production. The change came so late into the process that keyframe art for Endgame has Tony wear the MK L. An intermediate idea before settling on a brand-new armor was to give the MK L a software update to "'roid it out," so Iron Man's armor in Endgame would have looked slightly different but it would still have been the MK L.; In an early script for Spider-Man: No Way Home, the film's villains, which included Electro, would have raided a Damage Control container of Stark technology to upgrade themselves. Electro would have hot-wired a daisy-chain of the MK L's supplementary arc reactors as a power-up. History: Tony Stark started designing the fiftieth Iron Man Armor not long after the Avengers' civil war. It represented Tony's first exploration into the use of nanotechnology for the creation of his suits. As a result, he attached a removable arc reactor in his chest where the suit's nanites were stored.; Tony suited up in the MK L when Manhattan was invaded by Black Order members Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian in the search for the Time Stone in possession of Doctor Strange. Iron Man used the armor to battle Cull Obsidian, and later boarded the aliens' Q-Ship when Maw abducted Doctor Strange.; After reaching Titan with Strange and Spider-Man, Tony encountered the Guardians of the Galaxy, and joined forces with them against the Black Order's master Thanos. Eventually, Iron Man confronted Thanos on his own. Despite putting all of the armor's arsenal to use in an arduous fight, he was overpowered in the end. The suit couldn't regenerate any more after Thanos tore it numerous times. Tony materialized a blade and attempted to stab Thanos, but the villain blocked the attack, broke the blade from the hilt, and impaled Tony with it. After Strange negotiated with Thanos to spare Tony's life in exchange for the Time Stone, and the villain teleported away from Titan, Tony used what remained of his armor to suture his wound with nitrogen before retracting it back into the arc reactor.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; The Iron Man Armor MK L represents a leap in the level of technology employed in the Iron Man suits. Instead of articulated hard metal components, the suit is composed of an array of nanobots which can encase its user and materialize into a fully-functional armor in a matter of seconds. This composition makes it possible for Stark to vary the hardness and flexibility of the armor's material at will, in turn allowing him to redistribute the suit's components and shapeshift MK L into a variety of tools and weapons. When the armor is not in use, its nanobots remain stored in a reservoir in Tony's chest. Like prior models, this armor is powered by an arc reactor. The suit features F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s assistance to operate, though Tony was capable of making use of the armor's capabilities on his own after losing connection with her. The suit's flight potential is enhanced by its shapeshifting abilities. It can combine its two feet thrusters into a single giant rocket thruster for additional speed, and materialize wing-shaped nano boosters on the back.; ===Offensive Powers===; The armor possesses the default offensive capabilities of a regular Iron Man armor, namely increased strength, repulsor rays and unibeam. The strength enhancement allowed Stark to knock back powerful foes like Cull Obsidian with a regular punch. He could reshape the suit's limbs into repulsor-charged pistons to deliver thruster-powered blows. Stark additionally turned the suit's feet into ground anchors that could double as snares, such as when he stepped on Thanos' hand. These snares could also be constructed and ejected from the armor.; In addition to making use of the suit's hand flight stabilizers to fire repulsor blasts and rays, Iron Man could turn the suit's gauntlets into repulsor gatling guns, and materialize repulsor cannons of varying size and shape that could either form around his arm or take up an entire gauntlet. He could additionally deploy panels from the back of the suit to provide an additional output to the cannons' discharge. The armor comes equipped with an array of micro-missiles that are fired from the back, either individually or all at once, as well as micro-munitions. A type of weapon Iron Man could materialize that is uncommon of previous suits are regular blades and dual energy knives. Another unlikely weapon in the suit's arsenal were liquid nitrogen blasters.; ===Defensive Powers===; In addition to the typical protection provided by an Iron Man armor, which allowed Stark to resist hits from Cull Obsidian and Thanos, and being crushed by a small meteorite, the MK L could regenerate destroyed parts in an instant a limited number of times. The suit can also be used to form shields capable of withstanding an energy discharge from the Power Stone. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLVIII (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLVIII (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK XLVIII Other aliases: Hulkbuster 2.0; Hulkbuster Mark II Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Infinity War Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Bruce Banner Previous owners: Tony Stark Version: 1 Notes: When this armor first debuted, its numeric designation was unknown. Tentatively, it was either MK XLVIII or MK XLIX. For marketing purposes, it was only referred as "Hulkbuster 2.0." Following the reveal of the Rescue Armor from Avengers: Endgame as MK XLIX, designer Phil Saunders confirmed the Hulkbuster 2.0 was in fact MK XLVIII.; Unlike the original Hulkbuster armor, which serves as an add-on to the MK XLIII, the Hulkbuster 2.0 does not require another Iron Man armor to operate, as demonstrated by Bruce Banner. History: This upgrade of the Iron Man Armor MK XLIV was one of the three Iron Man suits designed by Tony Stark not long after the Avengers' civil war.; The Hulkbuster 2.0 was used by Bruce Banner after he experienced difficulty transforming into the Hulk. Banner wore the armor into battle alongside Black Panther, Steve Rogers, Okoye, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, and White Wolf against the forces of Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive and Cull Obsidian in Wakanda.; During the battle, Banner managed to successfully maneuver in the Hulk-like armor, remarking that it was very similar to actually being the Hulk. He went toe to toe with Cull Obsidian and even blasted the alien into Wakanda's energy barrier, killing him. Throughout the course of the battle, the armor dealt a great amount of damage, but was heavily damaged shortly after Thanos arrived to retrieve the Mind Stone from Vision's head.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; The Hulkbuster 2.0 is the successor to the first Hulkbuster Armor, MK XLIV. It is shown to have similar properties, capable of facing off against foes as large as the Hulk or Cull Obsidian. It was also able to hold its own against hundreds of thousands of Outriders for a sustained period of time, though was ultimately overrun and was only saved by the arrival of Thor, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot. The armor has the HUD typical of an Iron Man armor and is also assumed to have the onboard A.I. F.R.I.D.A.Y. included, though Banner never utilizes it.; ===Offensive Powers===; The armor possesses the default offensive capabilities of a regular Iron Man armor, though generally enhanced in effectiveness, namely increased strength and repulsor rays. The strength enhancement allowed Banner to fully battle powerful foes like Cull Obsidian with matched strength and agility. The armor can fire off more powerful blasts from its hands and also detach limbs via rocket thrusters, which is how Banner managed to launch Cull Obsidian into the Wakandan barrier.; ===Defensive Powers===; In addition to the typical protection provided by an Iron Man armor, the Hulkbuster 2.0 provides the extra defense of the original Hulkbuster armor, allowing the armor to mimic the strength and durability of the Hulk, which allowed Banner to take several hits from different enemies during the Battle of Wakanda. The armor's defensive capabilities held up for a sustained period of time, though the eventual onslaught of Outriders was enough to take it down and damage it. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor MK XLIX (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor MK XLIX (Earth-199999) Formal name: Iron Man Armor MK XLIX Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Endgame Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Pepper Potts Model: 49 Version: 1 Notes: This suit is an adaptation of the Rescue Armor, and it's ostensibly inspired by the suit as it appeared in the animated show Iron Man: Armored Adventures.; Before the release of Avengers: Endgame, a suit between MKs XLVII and MK L was unaccounted for, and the numeric designation of the Hulkbuster 2.0 was unknown. Following the release of the movie, merchandise of Rescue showed that the suit sported "0049" painted in the back, and designer Phil Saunders confirmed that Rescue was indeed the Iron Man Armor MK XLIX. Trivia: Phil Saunders' design for the Rescue Armor was approved after a single sketch. Only the helmet went through a refinement and exploration process, while the rest of the design remained essentially the same.; While there was a push to make the Rescue Armor gender-neutral in a similar way to the Ironheart Armor from the comics, Saunders had a very strong feeling that Rescue needed to be a strong and idealized feminine form in the same way that Iron Man interprets the male form in a mechanical language. Marvel Studios Vice-President Victoria Alonso agreed and championed Saunders' approach.; The suit was initially intended to use red in its color palette like in the comics, Avengers: Endgame producers decided to give Rescue her own identity, changing the predominant color to lavender.; Following the debut of this version of the Rescue Armor in Avengers: Endgame, the suit was adapted into the comics as the Rescue Armor Model 5. History: This suit of armor was designed by Tony Stark for his fiancée Pepper Potts sometime after getting together following a short-lived break up. He conceived it was an anniversary gift for posterity, but Pepper never wore it.; When Tony retired following the Blip, the Rescue Armor was kept in storage at the cabin in the woods where Tony and Pepper moved after marrying. The armor remained unused for the following five years. At one point, Tony and Pepper's daughter Morgan snuck into Tony's workshop and retrieved the suit's helmet to role-play.; After the Avengers Compound was destroyed by Thanos, Pepper, wearing the Rescue Armor, was one of the many to join the Avengers in combat, using various features of the armor to fight both on her own and in tandem with her husband.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; The Rescue Armor is the first armor Tony Stark designed specifically for Pepper, though she has worn at least one of his other suits in the past. The armor possesses the default capabilities of a regular Iron Man armor, namely increased strength and durability, as well as the ability to fly and shoot repulsors. The most prominent feature of the suit was a pair of drones that comprise an array of modular panels capable of releasing powerful repulsor blasts. The drones could also be brought close together to combine their output into a single, more powerful beam. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Shogun Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Shogun Armor) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: I Am Iron Man Vol 1 3 Created by: Murewa Ayodele; Dotun Akande Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Suit of powered armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; The Shogun Armor appears to possess the standard capabilities of an Iron Man suit, including enhanced durability, strength and flight. Instead of repulsor beams, this armor's main weapon is a pair of katanas, which ignite with red plasma when they are unsheathed. The armor can also transfigure itself flying platform with an energy field casing meant to be used as an escape pod. Notes: Since I Am Iron Man Vol 1 3 is set during Kurt Busiek's run in Iron Man Vol 3, the Shogun Armor's debut is set chronologically between the Heroes Return and the S.K.I.N. Armor.; This armor's faceplate is derivative of the helmet of the Iron Man Armor Model 70, an armor that debuted chronologically years after the Shogun Armor in-universe.; Although Jim Rhodes similarly adopts a samurai-ized version of his super hero alias in I Am Iron Man #3, his "War Monger" suit doesn't appear to be an actual functioning battlesuit. Unlike Iron Man, who fights Mojo's oni robots as the Iron Shogun, War Machine takes off his War Monger costume to wage battle. Trivia: The Shogun Armor was inspired by Iron Man's Model-Prime Armor shapeshifting into samurai-esque configuration in Invincible Iron Man Vol 3 4. The animated series Samurai Jack and samurai anime in general "helped too." History: The Shogun Armor was a suit used by Iron Man to infiltrate Mojoworld and reenact the play-pretend scenario of a kid named Bobby, whose mother had been kidnapped from Earth by Mojo during play time. Back home, Bobby had crafted a scenario in which his mother was kidnapped by an Oni Queen and he was her savior, the Iron Shogun, but she deviated from his plot during the hero's confrontation against the Oni Queen, lunging at him to tickle him.; Iron Man ventured into Mojoworld alongisde War Machine and played the starring role as he followed Bobby's script, brought to life by Mojo using holograms and robot onis, counting on Bobby's mother to know to break away from the script at the same moment of the story as she did back home. When Tony faced the robot Oni Queen, Bobby's mother similarly leapt at him. War Machine, who had played the supporting role of the "War Monger," provided cover from Mojo's robots as Iron Man shed away the Shogun Armor, which transfigured into a escape pod for Bobby's mother. Afterward, Iron Man and War Machine escorted the escape pod back to Earth and reunited Bobby with his mother. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Aircraft Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Aircraft Armor) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Legacy Vol 1 1 Created by: Fred Van Lente; Steve Kurth Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Suit of powered armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; This suit appears to be a heavy duty version of the Iron Man Armor. In addition to the capabilities of a standard Iron Man suit, which includes enhanced durability, strength and flight, it features a repulsor blade and heat-seeking missiles that can be directed to a given target through the deployment of adhesive infrared tractors. Notes: Since Iron Man: Legacy Vol 1 1 is set sometime between Iron Man Vol 3 50, this armor's debut is set chronologically between the Iron Man Armor Model 20 and the Iron Man Armor Model 21.; This suit is not actually denominated the "Aircraft Armor." This moniker is only descriptive, since no name is provided for this armor in the comics. History: This armor was used by Iron Man to breach into Transian airspace and make a show of his involvement in a regional civil war where his technology had been misappropriated by the Slavic paramiliatary Zmaj to enforce an ethnic cleansing of the country's Romani and Muslim population.; Using this armor to destroy drones sent after him, its deployment doubled as a distraction while he snuck his mobile garage into the country. Stark subsequently stored the suit in the mobile garage, which was in turn hidden in the barn of a local named Nina Demir who was aiding him. However, Nina sold out Stark to the forces of Doctor Doom, and Dreadknight claimed the contents of the garage for his master, including this armor.; The technology was subsequently incorporated by Doom into a new fleet of Doombots, unaware that Stark counted on his garage's theft, and had hidden a killswitch in its components. This suit was subsequently rebuilt by Stark and kept in underground storage alongside a fleet of armor. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Subterranean Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Subterranean Armor) Other aliases: Subterranean Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Legacy Vol 1 2 Created by: Fred Van Lente; Steve Kurth Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Suit of powered armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; This suit appears to be a heavy duty version of the Iron Man Armor. In addition to the capabilities of a standard Iron Man suit, which includes enhanced durability, strength, flight and a unibeam, the Subterranean Armor's lower arms can shapeshift into powerful drills. It can also generate a localized magnetosphere. Notes: Since Iron Man: Legacy Vol 1 1 is set sometime between Iron Man Vol 3 50, this armor's debut is set chronologically between the Iron Man Armor Model 20 and the Iron Man Armor Model 21. History: The Subterranean Armor was used by Iron Man when he involved himself in a Transian civil war to stop the ethnic cleansing of the country's Romani and Muslim population being commited by the Slavic paramiliatary Zmaj. Since the Zmaj's remote-piloted "Iron Men" moved through underground mines to avoid detection from orbit, Stark used the Subtearranean Armor to mimic their M.O. and intercept one of their assaults on civilians.; Iron Man managed to destroy several of the "Iron Men" until one of them distracted him with a holographic decoy of a child in peril, following up the distraction with a devastating attack that destroyed the Subterranean Armor. The suit was subsequently rebuilt by Stark and kept in underground storage alongside a fleet of armor. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model CE1 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model CE1 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model CE1 Other aliases: Stovepipe Armor; Heroes Reborn Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 2 1 Created by: Scott Lobdell; Jim Lee; Whilce Portacio Reality: Earth-616 Origin: After Rebel O'Rielly was killed during testing, the Prometheum armor was abandoned. Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Conner O'Reilly Place of creation: Counter-Earth Current owner: Tony Stark Model: CE1 Version: 2 Properties: Tractor Beam.; Energy Projection: The armor's repulsor rays were able to momentarily knock down the Hulk.; Superhuman Strength: After flying down from space Iron Man managed to defeat the Hulk.; Superhuman Durability; Self Repair; Force Field; Self-Propelled Flight: The armor was even able to fly into space. Notes: The Prometheum armor was created and used during the Heroes Reborn time period and exclusive to that Alternate-Earth setting. When Tony Stark returns to Earth-616, he immediatley adapts the newer Renaissance Armor.; In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 bumped up the numeric designation of several of the 20 armors it spotlighed due to the Model 13 being split into 13 and 14. One of these suits is the Bleeding Edge Armor, which was reclassified as Model 38 after having previously been officially identified as the Model 37. However, the Black and Gold Armor retained its previously established designation of Model 42, leaving only three vacant numbers (39, 40 and 41) for the four previously-officially designated suits between it and the Bleeding Edge Armor. Due to the limited scope of the cover series making it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration, the Marvel Database will prioritize the previous numbering, which stemmed from the Iron Manual TPB and All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe.; This armor was originally designated as Model CE1 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual Vol 1 1 as well as the Iron Manual TPB. In 2018's Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1, its designation was misspelled "C1E1." Trivia: A toy version of the Prometheum Armor was produced for the Heroes Reborn Avengers line. A new one was later released under the Marvel Legends imprint. History: After some time out of the public eye due to burnout and scandal, Stark returned to daily life.; Hydra attacked a gamma plant where the remaining armor had been stored; Stark and Sitwell investigated.; The gamma bomb's detonation had brought the Hulk to life. Hulk caused Stark's helicopter to crash. Tony suffered major injuries to his heart, and put on the armor to save his life. Feeling like he was given a second chance, Stark became active as Iron Man.; He later learned that the armor design was not flawed; it had been damaged when Rebel secretly challenged the Titanium Man. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model YT1 (Earth-96020) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model YT1 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model YT1 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 328 Created by: Terry Kavanagh; Dave Hoover Reality: Earth-96020 Lead designer: Iron Man (Teen Tony) Model: YT1 History: After returning parts "borrowed" from Avengers Mansion, the teenaged Stark upgraded his armor.; The armor is consisted in a helmet which solidifies the sound around Tony, creating a nearly indestructible armor.; It was first used against Frostbite and then to put out a fire at a fraternity party. Soon after it was used in battle against Stockpile and the forces of Onslaught.; ==Capabilities==; The gold parts of the armor are actually hard-light holograms. When activated the other armor parts snap into place and generate the holograms.; The suit maintained the previous weapons. An additional freezing blast was developed, with the claim that it could approach absolute zero. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 36 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 36 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 36 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: World War Hulk Vol 1 1 Created by: Greg Pak; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Tony Stark's Armory, Long Island Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 36 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 37 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 36 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, implicitly moving up this armor's designation back to Model 37. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22, 29 and 37 (to 17, 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. History: Iron Man used this armor to battle the Hulk, which was a very brutal fight. It was heavily damaged by the collapse of Stark Tower. Its remains were briefly possessed by the extradimensional demon named Zom. It was subsequently deactivated and was presumably salvaged by Stark Industries or S.H.I.E.L.D. later.; When Tony Stark undertook his reformed company Stark Resilient, a model of this armor was dismantled and melted.; ==Capabilities==; Rockets are used to boost the armor's punches. An injector was loaded with anti-gamma radiation nanites; however these had been tampered with and were ineffective in battle. ============================================================ Isaiah Bradley's Shield Kind: item Page: Isaiah Bradley's Shield Formal name: Isaiah Bradley's Shield Other aliases: Double V Shield, Black Captain America's Shield Type: Shield First appearance: Truth: Red, White & Black Vol 1 4 Created by: Robert Morales; Kyle Baker Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Justice (Josiah X) Previous owners: Isaiah Bradley Model: Unique History: After losing the secrets of serum when Dr. Erskine, the United States Army still wanted to produce more super soldiers like Steve Rogers. To this end, Col. Walker Price and Dr. Wilfred Nagel took 300 African-American soldiers from Mississippi to experiment upon. Only a handful of men survived the gruesome process. These men were used as a secret black ops squad. Eventually all the men were killed except one: Isaiah Bradley. To prevent the Nazi finalizing their development of the Super Soldier Serum, Isaiah Bradley was sent on a suicide mission to Schwarzebitte to killed Dr. Kosh and destroy his research. To complete this mission Bradley stole a Captain America costume and armed himself with a shield bearing The Double V Symbol. Bradley was eventually captured by the Nazis, and later freed by the German underground.; This battle-scared shield eventually came into the possession of Isaiah's genetically engineered son, Josiah X which he used as Justice. ============================================================ Isogenesis Kind: item Page: Isogenesis Formal name: Isogenesis Type: Metagenesis First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 3 577 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Dale Eaglesham Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Inhuman Current owner: Centaurian Inhumans History: Isogenesis is the process of injection of the extract of the Isogen Orbs, a mutagenic substance, that gives Centaurian Inhumans their powers. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 39 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 39 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 39 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 517 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Made by Tony Stark for Rhodey to take the name Iron Man Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: James Rhodes Model: 39 Version: 1 Notes: According to Rescue, the suit was comprised of both Stark tech, Resilient tech and even A.I.M. and S.H.I.E.L.D. parts. Trivia: When this armor was adapted into a 3.75" action figure for the series 23 of Hasbro's Marvel Universe toyline, the package's description promoted it as a "zero-gravity space armor."; In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 bumped up the numeric designation of several of the 20 armors it spotlighed due to the Model 13 being split into 13 and 14.

Due to the limited scope of the cover series making it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration, the Marvel Database will prioritize the previous numbering, which stemmed from the Iron Manual TPB and All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe. History: This suit was created in secret by Tony Stark when he had to give up being Iron Man for the time being, and given to Jim Rhodes, who previously faked his death against Mandarin's forces.; ==Capabilities==; The suit possessed regular Iron Man repulsor weaponry, including the ghost-tech found in the War Machine Armor. The palm repulsors were also capable to emit a form of ice or polymer to lock an opponent in place. It also was able to deploy micro-munitions and an EMP blast. ============================================================ Isotope 16 Kind: item Page: Isotope 16 Formal name: Isotope 16 Type: Material First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 56 Created by: Stan Lee; John Romita Sr. Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Fort Tyson, Long Island, New York, United States of America Current owner: United States Army Previous owners: Doctor Octopus History: Kept under 24-hour guard at Fort Tyson in an easily-recognizable platinum container, the isotope 16 was stolen by Spider-Man, who was at the moment struck with amnesia, as instructed by his partner in crime Doctor Octopus.

History: An armor designed by Tony Stark as soon as the Phoenix was said to be heading towards Earth by Nova.; It was created with the aim to kill the cosmic force. When Stark used a disruptor on it, it resulted in the fractionation of the Phoenix into five parts, which possessed each X-Men member present in the Blue Area of the Moon: Cyclops, Emma Frost, Namor, Colossus and Magik. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 40 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 40 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 40 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 523 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by Tony Stark to rebel against the Mandarin.

Due to the limited scope of the cover series making it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration, the Marvel Database will prioritize the previous numbering, which stemmed from the Iron Manual TPB and All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe. History: After Tony Stark was forced by the Mandarin to build the Titanomechs without access to his own armor, he created a new armor with the help of Zeke Stane to rebel against the Mandarin along with the other villains forced to work for him and aid other villains who decided to help him.; ==Capabilities==; Constructed in secret while Stark was held captive in Mandarin City, the circumstances of the Model 40's birth were not unlike ones Stark endured when he designed the original Iron Man armor.; The Model 40 was intended for durability and heavy combat, made mainly to enable Stark and his allies to escape captivity while fighting back against the Mandarin, his private army, and destroy the "Titanomech" machines Stark was being forced to build. Assembled mainly from scavenged, stolen and jury-rigged parts, the Model 40 bore a distinctly improvised and reinforced appearance, with externally-mounted struts protecting Stark's neck and head, as well as a backpack-like rear thruster, and large repulsor emitters.; The suit was not devoid of advanced technology, though. It was capable of interfacing with the Swarm, a large concentration of microscopic, airborne, repulsor-powered mini-computers designed and released by Stark Resilient (renamed Resilient since Stark's departure) as an alternative solution to "Cloud"-based computing.; Stark was able to tap into the Swarm and weaponize trillions of micro-repulsor batteries within it to form a massive repulsor cannon, using it to destroy several Titanomechs and end the Mandarin's schemes. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 44 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 44 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 44 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 4 4 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Carlo Pagulayan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by Tony Stark to serve as a heavy duty armor similar to the War Machine armor. Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 44 Version: 1 Trivia: It can be seen through the design variant cover for Iron Man Vol 4 4 that this armor was originally intended to be red and gold, rather than black and gold. History: When the Extremis virus was recreated by A.I.M. and sold to different people around the world, Tony Stark decided to track down and destroy any type of Extremis sample that could fall in the wrong hands by any means necessary.; One of the samples he had to retrieve was from a French catacomb, where 13 super-powered subjects were created. In order to battle more than a dozen of super-humans at the same time, this armor was created and fitted with a high amount of devastating firepower to deal with them.; This suit was taken by Tony in his mobile armory to his space trip, and was deployed by Iron Man during the fight against Recorder 451.; When the Hulk tried to kill Iron Man after discovering that Stark had sabotaged the Gamma Bomb which turned him into a monster, even though it was later revealed by doing so Tony saved Banner's life, Tony deployed this armor to fight him after another suit had been heavily damaged. The Heavy Duty Armor wasn't really effective, as the Hulk resisted Iron Man firing all its arsenal, and quickly turned the suit into scrap.; ==Capabilities==; According to Stark himself, this suit has been designed to battle the Hulk. It possesses a powerful minigun mounted on the left arm, a cannon and a flashlight can be extended onto the right shoulder, a powerful laser and another minigun can be extended onto the left shoulder, the repulsor outputs are located both in the palms (like most armors) and in the back of the gauntlets. The power input is enough to hold the suit firing all weapons, including Unibeam.; For defense, the suit can project a powerful forcefield, and it's durable enough to withstand a battle against twelve different Extremis subjects for a limited period of time. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 30 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 30 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 30 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 1 7 Created by: Daniel Knauf; Charles Knauf; Patrick Zircher Reality: Earth-616 Origin: One of the five different specialty Iron Man armors created by Stark Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 30 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 31 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual.

It possesses a "shock-and-awe" barrage with repulsors and ultrasonics powerful enough to power an entire continent.; Additional arsenal includes gamma blades (a network of small robots designed to stay near the armor's user, which create a line of radiation designed to cut even through the Hulk's skin) and a minefield. History: The latest Hulkbuster Iron Man armor was taken to the United States in Stark's car when Tony decided to investigate the Gamma Bomb's testing site, and see if the vision he had in which it was revealed that years ago he sabotaged the Gamma Bomb which turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk was true, it later turned out that he did, but that said act saved Bruce's life.; When Tony discovered the Hulk also had said vision and was looking for him for revenge, Tony activated the armor's suit up in the car and flew to Troy.; In Troy, Tony was soon attacked by a newly intelligent Hulk enhanced by the Extremis virus, and used the suit in battle to the point the armor had been seriously damaged and was barely functioning. Iron Man managed to separate himself from the Hulk and hide in Troy's underground, from where he got to his armory and changed the malfunctioning suit for the Heavy Duty Armor.; clear ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 35 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 35 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 35 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Wolverine Vol 3 45 Created by: Marc Guggenheim; Humberto Ramos Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Logan Model: 35 Version: 1 Notes: This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 36 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 35 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the Many Armors of Iron Man Variants variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, implicitly moving up this armor's designation back to Model 36. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22, 29 and 37 (to 17, 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB. History: This new model of Hydro Armor was stolen from Tony Stark by Wolverine in order to reach out to Namor. ============================================================ ISO-Sphere (Earth-517) Kind: item Page: ISO-Sphere Formal name: ISO-Sphere Other aliases: ISO-Belt; ISO-Core; Power-Crystal Type: Artifact First appearance: Marvel Contest of Champions Created by: Kabam Reality: Earth-517 Origin: Celestial Place of creation: Battlerealm Current owner: Earth-517: Adventurer, Ægon Earth-15513: None (destroyed) Properties: The Collector described ISO-Spheres as a stars composed of concentrated ISO-8 and Celestial technology. In their attempt to recreate the ISO-Sphere, the Masters of Evil repetitively distilled ISO-8 to purify it as much as possible, suggesting true ISO-Spheres are composed of pure ISO-8.; While the ISO-Sphere's current wielder is often regarded as sovereign over the Battlerealm, its power has been temporarily surpassed by the Battlerealm's native Infinity Stones.; Power Bestowal: The ISO-Sphere has been shown to bestow its users with a variety of abilities they otherwise would not possess, such as:; Cosmic Awareness: The Collector compared ISO-Sphere users feeling disturbances across the Battlerealm to how bird's flight patterns are influenced by a planet's magnetic field. Despite this, the Grandmaster was able to siphon power from the ISO-Sphere without the Collector's knowledge.; Energy Projection: According to Iron Man, the ISO-Core, a primitive recreation of the ISO-Sphere, stored enough energy to destroy half of the Battlerealm.; Energy Construct Creation: Ægon can create constructs of ISO-8 energy with his ISO-Belt.; Immortality: Ægon's ISO-Belt granted him immortality.; Teleportation: While using the ISO-Sphere, Gwenpool teleported herself and others around the Battlerealm.; Lifeform Fusion: Using the ISO-Sphere, Gwenpool fused various Champions together into what she called "mash-ups".; Mind Control: The Collector used the ISO-Sphere's power in conjunction with his Elder magic to enforce the ISO-Spell across the Battlerealm. According to Baron Zemo, the ISO-Spell only works on victims with ISO-8 radiation in their body. This also applies to artificial minds, such as Synthezoids and the artificial intelligence in Iron Man's MK III armor.; Portal Creation: Gwenpool created a wormhole that sent the Summoner and their allies to the Wyrd Realm.; Power Primordial: According to the Collector, Ægon's ISO-Belt is connected to the Power Primordial.; Reality Warping: Gwenpool's use of the ISO-Sphere created the Wyrd Realm and tears in reality.; Transmutation: The Collector captured Champions in ISO-8 crystals using the ISO-Sphere. Ægon was also able to transmutate Carina's ISO-8 form back into living flesh.; Rechargeability: While using an ISO-Sphere can drain it of its power, it can be replenished with more ISO-8. Notes: ISO-Sphere has been spelled without the hyphen as "Isosphere".; Since Ægon's ISO-Belt was forged from an ISO-Sphere, this page assumes the ISO-Belt is an alternate, yet functionally identical, form of the ISO-Sphere. History: ===Origins===; ISO-Spheres were forged by the mysterious population that inhabited the Battlerealm prior to Ægon's race. The first of these ISO-Spheres was forged into the Master's ISO-Belt, later claimed by Ægon when he won the first Contest of Champions. Another of these ISO-Spheres came into the Collector's possession.; ===The Contest's ISO-Sphere===; ====With the Collector====; The Collector used his ISO-Sphere to assist him in capturing Champions from across the Multiverse for the seventh Contest of Champions. When the Contest began, his ISO-Sphere was offered as the prize that Kang the Conqueror and the Summoner competed for. When Thanos was introduced to the Contest, he allied with the Summoner against the threat of Kang wielding the ISO-Sphere. Following Kang's subsequent defeat and elimination, Thanos took his place in the Contest. Given ISO-8's abundance across the Battlerealm, Thanos saw the ISO-Sphere as a facade and sought to challenge the Maestro's dominance over the realm before being defeated by the Summoner's Champions.; After using most of the ISO-Sphere's power in his struggle against the Maestro, the Collector's vulnerability triggered the Cosmic Civil War between the Iron and Blue Factions. Both groups sought to escape the Battlerealm but had conflicting plans; the Blue Faction believed in overpowering the Collector in his moment of weakness, while the Iron Faction believed in rightfully winning the ISO-Sphere. Before ending, the war generated enough ISO-8 to repower the Collector and his ISO-Sphere.; ====With the Grandmaster====; When the Grandmaster challenged the Collector's dominion over the Contest, he swiftly outmaneuvered the Collector by siphoning power from his ISO-Sphere. Upon the Collector's defeat, the Grandmaster gained full control of the ISO-Sphere's power at the expense of the Battlerealm's stability. Collaborating through a covert network, the Summoner and Champions discovered crystalline fragments that seemed to be the Battlerealm's foundational Cornerstone, which would hypothetically drain the ISO-Sphere's energy and prevent the Battlerealm from collapsing if reconstructed. Although the Cornerstone was reconstructed and revealed to be Carina Tivan, it was missing one final piece and had no impact on the ISO-Sphere or the Battlerealm's stability.; With all the Infinity Stones, Thanos superseded the Grandmaster as the most powerful being in the Battlerealm. When the Grandmaster pleaded for the Contest's continuation, Thanos drained the ISO-Sphere with the Infinity Gauntlet in response. Following Thanos' death, the Grandmaster partnered with the Champion to restore his authority and repower his ISO-Sphere using ISO taken from the Champion's victims. This plan threatened Carina's essence that was scattered across the Battlerealm, prompting Ægon to return and subdue the Champion. Now driven to heal rather than fight, Ægon used the power within his ISO-Belt to resurrect Carina, who had been previously reunited with her last piece. The cumulative circumstances that lead up to Carina's rebirth granted her a unique connection to the Battlerealm and the ability to manipulate ISO-8.; ====With Carina====; Carina secured the ISO-Sphere after the Grandmaster's defeat. Despite that, the ISO-Sphere was taken by Kang the Conqueror and sent to Gwenpool, prompting Carina and the Summoner to investigate its whereabouts. When they found Gwenpool, she created the Wyrd Realm and proclaimed herself its God-Empress, Gwenmaster, in an attempt to create the "perfect quest" for the Summoner. When Gwenpool depleted her power fighting the Summoner, Carina seized the ISO-Sphere from her and the Wyrd Realm ceased to exist. Unfortunately, Gwenpool's misuse of the ISO-Sphere created tears in reality that Kang exploited to quickly dominate the Battlerealm until he was outmaneuvered by the Summoner.; ===Project Rheingold===; As part of Project Rheingold, the Masters of Evil copied the Collector's research on ISO-Spheres and distilled stolen ISO-8 shipments to forge the ISO-Core, a primitive recreation of the ISO-Sphere. While investigating the ISO-8 thefts, the Avengers were put under Baron Zemo's control through the ISO-Spell to protect his ISO-Core. After the Avengers were freed by the Summoner working with the Young Avengers and the Champions, Zemo briefly subjugated the Summoner's allies before setting the distillation station to self-destruct and escaping. Before the station detonated, the Summoner and all three teams evacuated themselves.; Using the ISO-Core, Baron Zemo controlled the Avengers again, leaving Iron Man, Gladiator and the Summoner to assault the Masters of Evil's ship. When they made it to the ship's control room, Gladiator destroyed Zemo's ISO-Core, absorbing the bulk of the resulting explosion onto himself. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 52 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 52 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 52 Other aliases: Hulkbuster Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: All-New, All-Different Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Mark Waid; Adam Kubert Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Notes: The design of this armor is lifted directly from the Iron Man Armor MK XLIV seen in the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, which is the Hulkbuster Armor of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.; This suit is the first armor in the Prime Marvel Universe to be adapted from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While certain artists' depiction of the Iron Man Armor Model 42 included a helmet design lifted from the standard Iron Man helmet outline used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Model 52 is the first armor with a design taken entiretly straight from the films. History: This Hulkbuster Iron Man armor could be compacted into a fully-functional flying car. It was used by Tony Stark to pick up Captain America after he assisted an accident at the Queensboro Bridge. The armor was deployed into its suit form when the two heroes assisted Spider-Man against the Warbringer, and it was heavily damaged by a heat blast created by the villain, to the point it partially melted in an instant.; Tony remained sealed inside the suit until Vision arrived and he was able to hack into the armor's operating system and trigger an emergency protocol which auto-dismantled the suit. Stark wasn't worried about the loss of the armor because it was meant to be "a one-off," and he subsequently called in his main suit, the Model-Prime Armor.; However, the suit was later rebuilt. It was deployed as part of the "Project Icarus" when Ultron returned to the Earth, having merged with his creator Hank Pym. The Vision distracted the villain long enough to allow Tony Stark to successfully land the remotely-controlled suit on top of Ultron. Stark encased Ultron in the suit and forced them to board a ship with destination to the Sun. Ultron began to slowly break free from the armor even before they got on the aircraft, forcing some of the Avengers to accompany the villain to ensure they didn't escape. The suit was eventually breached from the inside by Ultron some time after exiting the atmosphere.; When Iron Man confronted the Sentry to stop him from going after his stolen Confluctor, he summoned the Hulkbuster Armor and equipped it on top of his Extremis Armor. Tony attempted to fight the Sentry, but the armor was quickly damaged. Tony's suits repaired themselves, and Tony used the Hulkbuster again to help the Sentry fight his protégé-turned-villain, Billy Turner.; The Hulkbuster Armor was next used by Iron Man when Captain Marvel rallied the Avengers to capture Bruce Banner. Due to his possession by the One Below All, the Hulk managed to easily overpower the team. The Hulkbuster's repulsor beams had little effect on the Hulk, and the armor suffered critical manage with a single blow. After the Hulk tore off the armor's arms, the suit suffered a cascading failure. Tony had to use the armor's manual release to activate its ejection system. As soon as Tony ejected out of the armor using its detached helmet for propulsion, the armor exploded.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; What appears to be simply a flying car is a fully-functional Iron Man Armor that could be deployed with the push of a button. In its vehicle form, the armor can achieve flight with the use of two repulsor turbines on its bottom.; By pressing a button located in the car's panel, the legs of the suit were deployed from the rear of the car, and the arms from the front. The middle of the vehicle became the armor's torso, and thus the entire suit of armor was formed around its user in only a few seconds. It's unknown what would happen to any passenger were they in the car when its function to turn into an armor is activated.; ===Offensive Powers===; The suit possesses enough strength to burst through a wall from the former Stark Tower with ease, and it includes repulsor weaponry. Further versions of the armor displayed the ability to change the shape of its hands, turning the armor's glove into either a snare or a repulsor cannon.; ===Defensive Powers===; While the armor can protect its user from damage, it appears to be vulnerable to high temperatures. A newer version of the suit showcased the ability to self-repair. The armor possesses an ejection system which allows its user to detach the helmet from the rest of the armor and fly away with it. This emergency system can also be activated with a manual release. ============================================================ Iso-Gauntlets (Earth-15061) Kind: item Page: Iso-Gauntlets Formal name: Iso-Gauntlets Type: Gauntlets First appearance: U.S.Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Al Ewing; Paco Medina Reality: Earth-15061 Lead designer: Thanos Additional designers: Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Place of creation: Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Facility, Mount Athena, Adirondack Mountains, New York, United States of America Previous owners: Thanos Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The Iso-Gauntlets gave Thanos unimaginable power, allowing him to devastate the Earth and decimate much of its superhero population. History: The Iso-Gaunlets were a pair of gauntlets created by Thanos using technology and Neutronium from Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. With them, he gained enormous powers and used that power to slaughter half of the world's heroes just to send the message to the entire universe that he had returned. He was eventually killed by Black Widow's A.V.E.N.G.E.R.S. Initiative using a combination of science and magic. The Iso-Gauntlets were seemingly destroyed during the battle.; ==Description==; The Iso-Gauntlet greatly resembled Thanos' earlier creation, the Infinity Gauntlet. Embedded in the Iso-Gauntlets' knuckles and back of the hand were Cosmic Cubes fashioned from Neutronium. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 53 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 53 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe! Vol 1 1 Created by: Ryan North; Erica Henderson Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Notes: Save for its faceplate, the design of this suit is basically a simplified version of the Iron Man Armor MK XLIV of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.; The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe! Vol 1 1; After his conventional armor failed at stopping Squirrel Girl's evil clone Allene, Tony Stark hastily designed a new suit specifically to take down the newly-surfaced villain.; Iron Man assembled a group of Avengers intended to meet up with the original Squirrel Girl, but they were tricked by Allene into meeting up with her instead, setting up a trap in the form of an electrified floor that knocked down all the heroes except Iron Man. Even though his suit could counter her abilities, Allene started attacking him with his teammates' arsenal. She eventually neutralized Iron Man by shooting him with Hawkeye's putty arrows, and then throwing his unconscious teammates on him, so they sticked to the armor. This prevented Tony from retaliating without risking his teammates' safety. Allene breached the suit's helmet and knocked out Tony with a punch. When Allene stole the Avengers' equipment to continue fighting the rest of the heroes and villains, she took the armor's right glove.; After putting together a contingent of the remaining superhumans to stop Allene, the original Squirrel Girl ended up being accidentally teleported to the Moon by Allene. Tippy-Toe stole both Allene's hand-held teleporter and the Iron Man armor gauntlet and flew to Allene's abandoned base in Brooklyn, where Mjolnir laid untouched ever since Thor's defeat. Using the teleporter, Tippy sent Mjolnir to the Moon in order to save Squirrel Girl.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit was built with the exclusive purpose to precisely counter the abilities of Squirrel Girl, or rather her evil clone Allene. The armor's section modeled after a squirrel's head also functions as a backup R.T. node. Friday is present as the suit's on-board computer.; ===Offensive Powers===; Repulsor weaponry comes equipped in the armor, including hand blasts powerful enough to tear down a wall and knock out the Black Panther.; ===Defensive Powers===; The armor's pilot can be insulated from electrical attacks, with emergency countermeasures being able to shunt the electricity into the R.T. node. The armor's hull is additionally extremely resistant, as it takes a person with superhuman strength to breach it. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 54 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 54 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Spider-Man Vol 2 9 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; David Marquez Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Notes: The armor features a color scheme reminiscent of the War Machine Armor. Rhodey's death represented the boiling point of the conflict between Tony Stark and Carol Danver over Ulysses Cain.; The suit sports the same shape of unibeam as the Model-Prime Armor, and its helmet is extremely similar to the helmet design used by the Iron Man Armor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its forehead includes a triangle in a similar manner to the Iron Man Armor Model 25.; The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. Trivia: Civil War II Vol 1 writer Brian Michael Bendis has revealed he called this armor the "Marvel Buster" in his scripts, and that it is supposedly stronger than his Hulkbuster Armor. He additionally stated this suit has a power source unique to others. He also teased that the armor was going to resurface. History: This Iron Man Armor was built by Tony Stark in preparation for the final showdown against Captain Marvel during the second superhuman civil war. After the Inhuman profiler Ulysses Cain foretold Captain America's assassination at the hands of Spider-Man on the steps of the Capitol Building, the young hero travelled to Washington, D.C. to face his possible fate and ensure it didn't come true. As soon as Spider-Man's whereabouts made it to the news, Tony donned the suit of armor and rushed to Washington, D.C..; Iron Man jumped at Captain Marvel when she approached Spider-Man in order to apprehend him, since she feared Ulysses' vision was going to come true. Iron Man and Captain Marvel engaged in a brutal fight. Carol eventually managed to turn the tide of the battle in her favor, as the systems of Tony's armor began to fail. Other heroes arrived to the scene in an attempt to stop the fight, but were too late to stop Danvers from dealing a decisive blow that obliterated the armor and knocked down Stark, causing him to slip into a coma.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit appears to work in a similar fashion to the Model-Prime Armor, meaning that its surface is composed of mostly exagonal scales that could rearrange themselves. The armor's systems included a HUD and Friday as the on-board computer. Scanners could be used to analyze vital signs.; ===Offensive Powers===; The arsenal with which the suit was outfitted could be used to go toe-to-toe against Captain Marvel for a limited period of time. It possessed repulsor weaponry, including a unibeam and shoulder-mounted repulsor cannons, and a missile array capable of firing over twelve projectiles at once. The suit was strong enough to block Captain Marvel's blows and knock her back with a jet-assisted punch.; ===Defensive Powers===; This armor was robust enough to withstand heavy blows from Captain Marvel before its systems failed. Its scaled surface grants the suit an unprecedented amount of additional durability, since portions of the casing blown off could realign themselves back into the armor.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Captain Marvel Lost Civil War II (Earth-669)===; In this reality, the final battle of the civil war took a different turn when Captain Marvel conceded that Iron Man was right and that Spider-Man should be let go free, and attempted to fire an energy blast at the energy bubble surrounding Miles to break it open. Unfortunately, Iron Man misinterpreted Carol's actions as hostile, and used the Iron Man Armor's unibeam to fire a devastating energy blast that knocked her unconscious. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 57 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 57 Other aliases: Model: 3FB; Triple-F Contingency Plan; Fin Fang Foombuster Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Slott; Valerio Schiti Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: ===Overview===; The Fin Fang Foombuster is first deployed as a set of auto-piloted submersible, surface and air repulsor cannons which engage their target as quickly as possible. When they are joined by a ship containing the suit's cockpit, the cannons assemble around it to give form to the Fin Fang Foombuster, a behemoth that is approximately twenty stories high. In addition to augmented strength capable of knocking back Fin Fang Foom, the suit can release electrical discharges from the palm of its gauntlets. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1; This suit of Iron Man Armor was designed by Tony Stark together with Stark Unlimited as a countermeasure against Fin Fang Foom. When the Controller sent the beast to attack Manhattan, Stark deployed the Fin Fang Foombuster to intercept him. Before Iron Man could push him further into the sea, Fin Fang Foom managed to land a critical hit which heavily damaged the suit's hull and forced Tony to eject aboard the Iron Man Armor Model 56. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 58 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 58 Other aliases: Nano Iron Man; Nano-Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Slott; Valerio Schiti Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: The Nano Iron Man Armor was developed by Tony Stark after founding Stark Unlimited. When the Controller used a Control Disk to send Fin Fang Foom to attack Manhattan, Iron Man initially confronted him using the giant-sized Fin Fang Foombuster. When the suit failed, he created an opening in the creature's hide and fired a pod carrying a swarm of Nano Iron Man Armor in order to deploy them into his bloodstream so he could investigate his uncharacteristic behavior.; Tony initially only remotelly-piloted a single nanobot, since he hadn't figure out a way to make them properly work in tandem. With Andy Bhang's help, Stark solved the issue and managed to have the entire swarm follow his lead in order to fight off Foom's antibodies and reach his brain stem. After stumbling upon the Control Disk, Tony used the lead nanobot to destroy it.; After Tony became molecularly bonded to his Ultronbuster Armor in an accident while fighting Ultron Pym, he piloted one of the Nano Armor into his own body as part of the preparations for a separation process designed by Stark Unlimited expert Dr. Shapiro, which required him to tag with ionic energy all the mechanical parts to the phased out of his body.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; The Nano Iron Man Armor is microbot piloted remotely by its user. It is capable of firing both repulsor blasts and channeled repulsors. Through a lead nanobot which provides the rest a beat to syncopate to, a thousand of these micro-suits work in tandem. The suit is also equipped with speaker systems. In order to help prepare Tony's body for a separation procedure when he became molecularly fused to his armor, the Nano Armor was modified to be able to permeate ionic energy. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 61 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 61 Other aliases: Godkiller Armor MK II; GK II Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers Vol 8 5 Created by: Jason Aaron; Ed McGuinness Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: ===Overview===; The Godkiller Armor MK II is a colossal suit of armor. It's powered by eight nuclear reactors. It's interfaced through the Extremis Armor and its systems are operated by Motherboard. The suit provides its user with enough power to physically confront a Dark Celestial for a limited period of time, and it's capable of lifting one of these off the ground. The armor additionally possesses repulsor blasts and flight capabilities. It's capable of interplanetary flight, travelling from Mars to Earth in a matter of minutes. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; The Godkiller Armor MK II costs four billion dollars. History: Designed by Tony Stark, the Godkiller MK II was a Celestial-sized armor based on the original Godkiller Armor created eons ago by the Aspirants. The armor was kept in standby orbiting Mars. When the Dark Celestials attacked the Earth, Iron Man deployed the Godkiller Armor. It allowed him to hold his own against the Dark Celestials for a limited period of time. After Callus the Void severed the armor's left arm, Iron Man grabbed him in an attempt to fly into space with him and self-destruct the armor, hoping taking one out would cause the rest of the Dark Celestials to retreat. He was stopped by an army of dead Celestials reanimated by the Horde. Tony was swarmed by them, causing the Godkiller Armor's sytems to go critical. He ejected from the armor and self-destructed it. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 55 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 55 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Hunt for Wolverine: Dead Ends Vol 1 1 Created by: Charles Soule; Ramón Rosanas Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; Despite coming out months after Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 1, Hunt for Wolverine: Dead Ends Vol 1 1 most likely takes place chronologically before it. Friday is shown as the on-board A.I. of the armor Iron Man is wearing in Hunt for Wolverine: Dead Ends, whereas in Tony Stark: Iron Man #1 Tony was without an on-board A.I., because, as revealed in Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 2, he had downloaded Friday into a body of her own. History: In its motorbike mode, this armor was used by Tony Stark to travel to the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach after being summoned due to the ongoing investigation for the disappearance of Wolverine's body. He deployed the armor in its heavy weapons configuration after the institute was targeted by projectiles dropped from orbit by Soteira. With the help of Storm and Firestar, Iron Man managed to stop three of the four projectiles. Kitty Pryde phased through the planet to open a path down to the magma layer, so the final projectile wouldn't hit the Xavier Institute.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit is most likely designed with the main purpose to operate as a regular motorbike as well. The armor additionally seems to possess many configurations, including a heavy weapons mode. When deployed into a suit, the armor appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight. Once deployed, all of the motorbike's components turn into the armor, with the exception of the wheels. The suit can deploy an array of inertial dampeners capable of attaching to other objects and bleed off their velocity. Its systems are controlled by Friday. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 60 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 60 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 4 Created by: Dan Slott; Valerio Schiti Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; This suit is the second Iron Man armor that can turn into a motorcycle, the other one being the Iron Man Armor Model 55. Unlike the Model 60, the wheels of the Model 55 don't integrate as part of the suit and they're instead ditched when the suit configures out of its vehicle mode. Trivia: "Vespa" is Italian for "wasp," that being Janet Van Dyne's super hero alias. History: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 4; This armor was one of the many designed by Tony Stark after founding Stark Unlimited. He used it in its Vespa mode to explore Manhattan on a date with Janet Van Dyne. When the date was interrupted by an alert from Bethany Cabe because the Stark Unlimited HQ was under attack from robots sent by Baintronics, Tony hopped back into the Vespa and activated its armor configuration. Together with Wasp, Iron Man helped stop Baintronics' robots.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This armor's main feature is the ability to switch between a transportation mode and an Iron Man Armor mode. In its transportation mode, the suit resembles a red and gold Vespa. In a matter of seconds, the Vespa can transform and encase its user in a fully-functional Iron Man suit. The Vespa's front bumper and rear end become the armor's left and right shoulderguard, respectively. The front protection comprises the armor's chest plate. The wheels are retracted to the back of the armor, and the handlebars to the shoulders. The protective helmet used in conjunction with the Vespa also transforms into part of the armor, unfolding into a fully-encasing helmet.; When deployed, the suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight and repulsor blasts. At least one of the handlebars can be unsheathed to reveal an energy sword. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 62 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 62 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers Vol 8 9 Created by: Jason Aaron; David Marquez Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: This underwater Iron Man Armor was used by Tony Stark when the Avengers heeded an alert of an international incident in the Southern Ocean, after King Namor abducted Roxxon whalers who had murdered three Atlantean soldiers who boarded their ship. Iron Man used this armor to fight off Atlantean forces and then to unsuccessfully confront Namor himself. The Avengers left the ocean after Captain America convinced Namor to hand over the killers.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight and repulsor blasts. Being an underwater armor, it's most likely the suit includes special adaptations to sustain the strain of underwater environment. The suit also appears to have an attachment with four underwater flashlights on its shoulders. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 65 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 65 Other aliases: Ultronbuster Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 16 Created by: Dan Slott; Jim Zub; Valerio Schiti Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: Tony Stark had been tinkering away on an Ultronbuster Armor before the situation to use it presented itself. It occurred when the villain, in his Ultron Pym form, kidnapped Stark's girlfriend, the Wasp. Having deduced that Ultron was behind the kidnapping, Tony suited up in the Ultronbuster before going on the search of Jocasta, whom Stark believed was in danger but had already been captured as well. Iron Man and his allies eventually located Ultron Pym's lair at the abeyant Avengers Mansion and managed to free both captives from a device intended to fuse them molecularly. However, Stark was caught by the blast of the machine right after rescuing the Wasp, causing Tony's human body to become mangled and fused to the Ultronbuster.; Iron Man managed to keep fighting despite the fusion, constantly reprogramming the armor on the fly to work with his internal organs and postpone fatal injuries. Once Tony's team at Stark Unlimited discovered a way to undo Ultron's process, Jocasta helped Iron Man retreat. Using the remotely-controlled Nano Iron Man Armor on his own body, Tony ionically tagged all mechanical parts to be expelled from his body. Despite completing only ninety-seven percent of the preparations, Tony decided to star the separation process due to the threat posed by a miniature Ultron drone who had infilitrated Tony's systems. The split was successful, and the pieces of the armor were phased out of Tony's body, returning it to normal.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability that allowed the armor to tank blows from Ultron Pym, repulsor blasts and unibeam. The suit can additionally generate energy shields, and its chestplate conceals a missile pod. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 67 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 67 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 19 Created by: Dan Slott; Christos Gage; Pete Woods Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Arno Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited, Baintronics, Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Arno Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit.; This armor is an adaptation of the Iron Man 2020 Armor of Earth-8410. History: After Tony Stark's status as a real person was delegitimized following the discovery that his body was entirely synthetic in addition to his mind being a back-up of the engrams of the allegedly real, late Tony Stark, his adoptive brother Arno Stark deposed him from Stark Unlimited and merged the company with Baintronics. Embracing the identity of Iron Man as his own, Arno poured the resources of both organizations into making his own Iron Man suit, which doubled as an attempt at recreating Tony's Godbuster Armor.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability, repulsor blasts and unibeam. Arno's armor can fire its repulsor blasts both from the palms of his gauntlets like standard Iron Man suits and from ports mounted on back of its wrists. The suit's shoulder cogs can whirl to provide an offensive maneuver in close quarters. Numerous sections of the armor, namely its wrists, chest, abdomen and shoulder cogs, can retract their plating to reveal hidden repulsor ports for increased offensive capacity. ============================================================ Iso-Missile Kind: item Page: Iso-Missile Formal name: Iso-Missile Type: Missile First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 37 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull Previous owners: Morrat History: The Iso-Missiles were remote-controlled missiles used by the warlord Morrat against the Fantastic Four when they were on the throneworld. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 68 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 68 Other aliases: Virtual Armor; Hologram Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man 2020 Vol 2 5 Created by: Dan Slott; Christos N. Gage; Pete Woods Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Friday Place of creation: Thirteenth Floor Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: After finally realizing that he was the real Tony Stark and not a duplicate of himself as he had come to firmly believe, Tony began work on the Model 68 armor using the virtual resources of the Thirteenth Floor, where his consciousness was residing after being plucked out of his body by Friday to save his life. The end result was the Virtual Armor, made entirely out of solid holograms, which Tony praised as his greatest armor of all time.; Once Tony's allies had restored his physical body, Tony used the Virtual Armor to transport his consciousness out of the Thirteenth Floor and into his body. Tony and his allies then followed Arno Stark to the Stark Space Station to stop him from activating a mind-controlling device to enslave all of humanity to fight the Extinction Entity. After overpowering Arno in battle, and realizing that he wouldn't be able to convince him the Extinction Entity was a delusion in his head caused by his relapsing illness, Tony encased Arno in the Virtual Armor, forming a sphere around him to act as a life support system while also submerging him in a virtual dream in which the Extinction Entity was real and he got to defeat it.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; Unlike other Iron Man Armor, the Model 68 armor isn't made of matter like metal. Instead, it is made of solid holograms derived from the eScape. This allows Tony to create any weapon he can think of, including repulsor beams and unibeams. The armor also augments Tony's strength to the point where he could easily rip apart the armor of his brother Arno. Defensively, the armor can protect against standard weapons like missiles and unconventional ones like repulsor beams. Tony is aided in running the armor by the A.I. Friday.; The armor's default mode makes it invisible and segments of the suit only become perceptible depending on the situation. For example, portions of the suit flashed when blocking Arno Stark's attacks, the suit's arm appeared visible when Tony punched Arno, and the suit's leg could be seen when Tony was using the armor's jet boots to fly. In a simulated sequence within the eScape, Tony made the entirety of the armor visible and opaque when fighting the Extinction Entity, and the suit also protected him from the vacuum of space. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 66 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 66 Other aliases: Ice Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers Vol 8 31 Created by: Jason Aaron; Geraldo Borges Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Turkey Place of destruction: Turkey Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: While trapped in the year 1,000,000 B.C., Tony Stark was forced to build a new armor from the materials available to him. This "Ice Age Man" armor was powered by Vibranium batteries and used circuitry salvaged from the ruined Extremis Armor. This armor was used in battle against Mephisto, but it began to break apart by a combination of the demon's attacks and the high battery usage causing it to melt. Stark concentrated all of the armor's power in a repulsor blast directed towards the Time Stone in Mephisto's possession. The attack caused the suit to shatter, but Tony was returned to his time afterward.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; As an incredibly low-tech armor, the Ice Armor seemed only have very basic offensive capabilities, firing icicles from a wrist cannon. It was capable of a repulsor blast, but the more Vibranium power used by the armor, the more it melted. In regards to defensive capabilities, the armor did allow Tony to survive going toe-to-toe with Mephisto, though the armor was damaged by the demon's blows. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 69 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 69 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man 2020 Vol 2 6 Created by: Dan Slott; Christos N. Gage; Pete Woods Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 52) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: After reclaiming his life following the events of the Robot Revolution, Tony Stark built this suit of armor to resume his superhero career. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 70 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 70 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 70 Other aliases: Extrembiote Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 5 1 Created by: Christopher Cantwell; Alex Ross Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Tony Stark's Brownstone, Lower East Side, Manhattan Previous owners: Tony Stark; Extrembiote Properties: ===Overview===; This suit possesses the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability and the ability to fire repulsor blasts. It is equipped with computer systems that feature communications, environmental scanners, navigation and compass systems, medical diagnosis, biosignature tracking, molecular analysis, facial recognition software and radio jamming. These are operated by a low-level A.I. named B.O.S.S., which is protected by an AES-256 encryption. The armor can be operated remotely, and B.O.S.S. can also maneuver the suit on its own on command. Suit-up is achieved via a magnetic assembly process in which individual pieces of the armor fly to the user, encasing them in a matter of seconds. The suit-up can be triggered with a voice command, but it also responds automatically to emergencies. Hand gestures can also be used to guide the armor's suit-up to a different target. If any part of the suit is open while its user is struck, it automatically snaps shut fast and seals tight.; The armor is outfitted with a hydrogen-based propulsion system. It can break the sound barrier almost instantly, and it can reach hypersonic speeds of approximately 4,700 mph (7,565 km/h), presenting a maneuverability capable of dodging rapid-fire lasers. The Model 70 also features an autopilot.; In terms of gadgets and secondary systems, the armor can extend autonomous connection cords, and deploy a set of robotic spiders for infiltration purposes, which can carry computer viruses. As a measure for crowd control, the armor can dislodge a set of three discs from its left heel. In tandem, these warning beacons project a giant hologram of Iron Man with a pre-recorded message warning bystanders that he is tackling an emergency nearby. The armor's heels can also deploy a set of roller blades similar to older Iron Man suits for faster ground travel. Van der Waals adhesion circuits provide the armor with the ability to stick to such surfaces like high-speed trains. The Model 70 is also equipped with a tracker connected to Tony Stark's phone. When Tony Stark was critically injured and suffered a broken neck, he had a morphine drip temporarily installed into the suit's left bicep with three months' worth of supply. The suit also possesses adaptive capabilities, once being able to develop a contingency against a short-circuiting attack so that it wouldn't work a second time.; When the suit was infused with the Extrembiote, it gained the ability to project symbiotic tendrils that returned to the armor on their own. The armor's repulsor beams were also modified in such a way they could cleanse Knull's corruption off its victims. The symbiote also allowed the armor to override Knull's influence on one of the Celestials under his control, granting its wearer full control over Knull's former victims.; ===Offensive Powers===; Like most Iron Man suits, this armor possesses both repulsor blasts and a unibeam. The suit's repulsor output is customizable, displaying the ability to change their configuration from regular blasts to forms such as a wide-dispersal fan beam, and an "iron sniper" mode which fires shots the width of a quarter with maximum sound suppression. The unibeam includes a setting nicknamed "the can opener," which possesses immense destructive potential, and is capable of destroying a fellow Iron Man suit, but is reserved for special occasions due to its limited charge.; Other offensive weapons include micro-munitions, and palm-mounted, dual shoulder-mounted, and dual bicep-mounted protractible missile launchers. The Model 70 is armed with at least three types of nonlethal rounds, one of them being dual shoulder-mounted miniature machine guns that fire unidentified projectiles. The third nonlethal round is a pellet that fires from the right deltoid area and expands in contact into an immobilizing non-Newtonian sludge, and it was designed specifically to disengage traditional jet propulsion. From the index fingers of its gloves, the armor can fire either a stream of liquid nitrogen, or a laser. The suit can also generate a city block-sized EMP bubble that resets every electronic device inside its radius.; The Model 70's autonomic propulsion systems can also be used offensively. For instance, the suit's user can fire off the armor's gauntlets to grasp enemies from a distance, and then have the glove circle its target and fire repulsors like a drone. The armor can punch with a force of 20,000 newtons at a speed of 500 mph. When Stark made on-the-fly upgrades to fight Korvac, he doubled the suit's punch force to 40,000 newtons.; ===Defensive Powers===; Aside from the ability to deploy protective force fields, the Model 70 itself can shield its wearer from a wide array of hazards, including electric currents, underwater environments, fire, magnetic fields, low Earth orbit environment and psychic intrusion. Its full durability was displayed when Iron Man managed to punch a hole through a sphere composed of Vibranium and Adamantium, albeit breaking 17 of his bones and damaging the suit in the process. The suit could also withstand being crushed between the blows of two Stark Sentinels and remain fully operational despite superficial damage.; For foreign toxic agents, the Model 70 possesses a configurable air filtration system, and counter-measures against ingested toxins. The armor can also act as a defibrillator and a pacemaker. For aerial combat, the suit can deploy flares from its calves as a countermeasure against missiles. For stealth purposes, the Model 70 can render its entire surface either white or black, but it can also turn itself almost invisible using electrochromatophore multi-spectrum active camo. The suit can also cast holographic decoys. Notes: This suit's designation as the Iron Man Armor Model 70 was initially given by the Marvel Database in a tentative manner. This designation was officialized in Iron Man Vol 5 20.; Iron Man Vol 5 colorist Frank D'Armata miscolored the jaw of this armor's faceplate red throughout issues 1–6. Starting with issue 7, the jaw started being colored gold.; The soles of this armor were originally meant to be gold, as it can be seen in Alex Ross' covers to Iron Man Vol 5 3 and #6. They were colored inconsistently in the interior artwork, and Ross started coloring them red with the cover of Iron Man Vol 5 11. In comics such as Captain America/Iron Man Vol 1 1, the soles were even recolored from gold to red between the preview pages and the final version, as it can be seen [https://imgur.com/a/Qj6qfZ5 here]. In Invincible Iron Man Vol 5, the soles were consistently colored gold.; Despite the suit's trademark see-through eyeslits, it has been drawn with the conventional glowing eyes in several appearances outside Iron Man's main title, and notably in series such as Avengers Vol 8 or A.X.E.: Judgment Day Vol 1. Iron Man Vol 5 22 has showcased that the armor can make its eyes glow, but appears to be reserved to instances when the armor is in some kind of scanning mode. Trivia: This suit is the second vintage style designed by Alex Ross, the previous being the Iron Man Armor Model 16.; This armor was originally designed and pitched by Ross in 2018 as a reimagining of the Classic Armor with its aesthetics revamped to modern standards. At the time, Marvel already had Iron Man's path planned out, but they let Ross use the redesign for a variant cover for Invincible Iron Man Vol 4 600. This new armor eventually debuted in the pages of the comics in Iron Man Vol 5 1, released two years after its inception and its first appearance in the variant cover.; The armor's practical segmentation is inspired by the aesthetic of the Iron Man Armor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.; One of the key distinctions of this armor's design is that it's meant to be drawn with an extremely reflective chrome finish.; Iron Man Vol 5 writer Christopher Cantwell has stated that his one piece of input in terms of the armor was being able to see Tony's eyes within the helmet. It was extremely important to him to drop the glow in Iron Man's eyeslits in order to humanize the character. This distinctive feature was already present in Alex Ross' concept art for this armor.; In addition to the visibility of the eyes, it was important for Cantwell for the armor to feel like pieces that Stark puts on, which is reflected with the armor's first suit-up sequence in Iron Man Vol 5 1, in which it can be seen the way the sections of the armor connect. History: In order to embark on a journey of soul-searching, Tony Stark stepped down from Stark Unlimited, swore off advanced technology and moved to a brownstone in the Lower East Side. He also did away with all of his Iron Man suits, resorting instead on a single vintage-style armor.; During an invasion on Earth by the symbiote god Knull, the host of the Venom symbiote, Eddie Brock, was fatally injured when stripped off it. In a desperate attempt to save his life, Iron Man set out to find a symbiote for Brock to bond with it. To this end, Stark infected one of Knull's symbiote dragons with Extremis to cut it off from the symbiote hive. In the process, the symbiote that Iron Man subdued infused into his armor and transmuted it. Following Knull's defeat, Stark kept his symbiote, which he dubbed the Extrembiote, attached to the armor it had transmuted, while he returned to a regular copy of the suit.; After Tony interfered in the plans of the evil cyborg Korvac to attain godhood, his neck was broken by the villain. The armor received makeshift modifications to return Stark to fighting form, since he couldn't risk giving up on pursuing Korvac. The rings of the armor's cervical column were welded together to stabilize Stark's spinal injury, and a morphine drip was added to ease the pain of the injury. Although unable to remove the chest and helmet of the suit, Tony managed to continue his chase to stop Korvac from acquiring the Power Cosmic. The pursuit ended with both Iron Man and Korvac imbuing themselves with the Power Cosmic, and Tony's suit was transmuted in the process of becoming the "Iron God." In this form, the suit became an extension of Tony's short-lived omnipotence, as he was capable of materializing the suit out of thin air, and it disappeared when Tony gave up the Power Cosmic. Stark returned to another regular copy of the armor afterward.; When the corrupt industrialist Feilong began targeting Tony as part of an elaborate plan to take over Stark Unlimited, he sabotaged the arc reactor generator of Tony's laboratory, causing his entire brownstone to explode. Tony was tinkering with the faceplate of the Model 70 when this happened, and it was heavily damaged. After settling down in Bronson's Cabs Depot, Tony repaired the Model 70 with his limited resources, replacing the blemished faceplate for a new one that was also damaged. During a subsequent confrontation with the Living Laser, Tony's makeshift mask was further damaged, forcing him to retrofit the Model 70's original faceplate, still charred from the brownstone's explosion, to the tweaked helmet. Shortly afterward, Feilong succeeded his bid for Stark Unlimited. Becoming the owner of all of Stark's patents, he sent Tony a cease-and-desist to stop wearing his own armor. Iron Man eventually relented, hollowing out the Model 70, Tony crumbled up the suit and crashed it into the Stark Unlimited HQ's hobby as an act of malicious compliance. As a result, Stark switched full-time to his latest, clandestine armor, a stealth suit christened the Model Nil. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 71 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 71 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Hulk Vol 5 1 Created by: Donny Cates; Ryan Ottley Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: Although this Hulkbuster Armor ultimately failed to defeat the Hulk, it can be presumed it possesses enough physical strength to go toe-to-toe against the monster. The suit's weaponry included wrist-mounted repulsor beams and a shrapnel missile of Adamantium nanoparticles, which could pierce and burrow into the Hulk's skin. Their nano-programming forged the Adamantium at an atomic level, shaping the shrapnel into any shape the armor's user could want. This allowed the shrapnel to ensnare the Hulk into the ground, forcing to tear off his own arm to break free. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on the last officially numbered armor (Model 70) and the chronological appearance of this suit. History: This Hulkbuster Armor was deployed by Iron Man to intercept the Hulk at Wundagore Mountain in an attempt to stop him from reaching a Stark tech armory where Project A.R.K. was stored. Despite his best effort, and the use of three other copies of the armor as support, Iron Man was defeated by the Hulk, and Banner reached Project A.R.K. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Celestial Hulkbuster Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Celestial Hulkbuster Armor) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Thor Vol 6 25 Created by: Donny Cates; Martin Coccolo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Suit of powered armor engineered from a Celestial corpse Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of destruction: Black Hand of God Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: Befitting its massive size, the armor possesses immense levels of strength and durability, though it could barely withstand a blow from Mjolnir. It also possesses various weapons, including missile batteries and guns powerful enough to hurt the Hulk and devastate a large area. On its palms are energy weapons. It's capable of interplanetary flight, traveling from Earth to the Black Hand of God in a short amount of time. The armor was also designed to absorb and withstand large amounts of gamma energy, enabling it to shield Iron Man from a gamma explosion with the power of approximately 3000 Gamma Bombs, though the armor was heavily damaged. History: The origins of this armor date back to Knull's invasion of Earth, during which Iron Man used the Extrembiote to take control of a dead Celestial formerly in Knull's control. He repurposed the Celestial corpse into a wormhole generator called Project A.R.K. After the Hulk hijacked the teleporter to exit reality, nearly killing Iron Man in the process, Tony Stark converted the corpse of the Celestial into a gigantic Hulkbuster Armor.; Stark deployed this suit after the Hulk was spotted at the Black Hand of God arena fighting Thor. Iron Man overpowered the Hulk in the armor, but he received constant interference from Odin whose spirit inhabited Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. However, Banner was no longer in control of Hulk, causing Hulk's rage to go out of control and eventually unleash a massive gamma explosion, wrecking the armor.; The gamma explosion caused Thor to be transformed into an out-of-control gamma mutate. Iron Man tried to use the armor to subdue Thor, but Thor destroyed what remained of the armor. ============================================================ Isogen Orbs Kind: item Page: Isogen Orbs Formal name: Isogen Orbs Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 3 577 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Dale Eaglesham Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Centaurian Inhumans History: Extract taken from the Isogen Orbs induced Isogenesis that gives Centaurian Inhumans their powers. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Nil Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Nil Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model Nil Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 5 7 Created by: Gerry Duggan; Juan Frigeri Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Bronson's Cabs Depot, Jersey City, New Jersey Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: Like any stealth armor, the Mark Nil favors undetectability and furtiveness above all else. To this end, it possesses active camouflage which renders the armor virtually invisible; being able to extend this effect to anything its user holds. The effectiveness of the suit's cloaking its tied to is energy expense, and it can completely cloak itself at a high-power cost. Something the armor couldn't cloak, however, was the exhaust from its propulsion systems. The suit also possesses what might be Van der Waals adhesion circuits similar to the Iron Man Armor Model 70, which allows it to stick to vertical surfaces, mimicking Spider-Man's wall-crawling. In terms of suit-up, the Mark Nil features an autonomic assembly process. It can fold into and out of the shape of a briefcase. The suit possesses the ability to open flaps from the back which reveal additional thrusters for extra thrust. The suit can still function in it's base capacity even after taking severe damage and falling apart at the same time.; In addition to this, the armor possesses the standard abilities of an Iron Man suit, including enhanced durability to withstand the blows from a transfigured city controlled by the Citysmith several blows from Bedivere the Engineer, a blow from an empowered Artur the King, strength and flight via jet boots, as well as repulsor beams, high-temperature lasers, unibeam and stun darts, wrist blades and has density-shifting capabilities, but the armor takes severe damage after use. However, the suit is physically weaker than a standard Iron Man armor. Notes: The Mark Nil is purposefully without an official designation, something Tony Stark thought was pointless especially due to the clandestine nature of the activities he was going to engage in while wearing this suit.; Despite the Mark Nil's lack of numeric designation, it is very likely that it technically is the Model 71. The designation of its two successors, the Mysterium and Sentinel Buster suits are Model 72 and 73, respectively. This numeration omits three of the four distinct suits that Iron Man had debuted after the Model 70 outside his own comic book: the Celestial Hulkbuster Armor in Thor Vol 6 25, the Dragon-Slayer Armor in Miles Morales: Spider-Man Vol 2 7, and a Space Armor in I Am Iron Man Vol 1 5. The tentatively-named Model 71 was a Hulkbuster Armor that debuted in Hulk Vol 5 1, so it's possible that it would also have been omitted, making the Mark Nil the true Model 71 Armor. Trivia: The Mark Nil almost didn't have a name in its debut issue, Invincible Iron Man Vol 5 7; writer Gerry Duggan rushed to mail a note asking the dialogue to be changed in the comic to give it its name shortly before it went to print. History: The Mark Nil was a stealth armor created by Tony Stark shortly after the acquisition of Stark Unlimited by the human supremacist Feilong. He first used it to infiltrate a factory in Texas where Feilong was using the technology of the company to mass-produce Stark Sentinels.; Iron Man defaulted to the Mark Nil after Feilong issued him a cease-and-desist which forced him to turn over his then-primary suit, the Model 70. Stark notably used the Mark Nil during his missions to subvert the campaign of mutant oppression of Feilong's allies, the think tank Orchis, and to continue serving with the Avengers. The Mark Nil was eventually superseded by Stark's subsequent primary suit, the Mysterium Armor. As a matter of fact, in the lead-up to the final battle against Orchis, Tony left the Mark Nil behind in the Hellfire Club as it burned. Stark later retrieved it from the burnt-down building since the suit had survived the fire. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Dragon-Slayer Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Dragon-Slayer Armor) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Carnage Vol 3 14 Created by: Alex Paknadel; Cody Ziglar; Julius Ohta Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Bronson's Cabs Depot, Jersey City, New Jersey Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: This suit possesses the standard abilities of an Iron Man Armor. It provides its user with superhuman strength and durability, as well as the ability to fly via boot jets. Its systems are run by the A.I. B.O.S.S., and it features communication and scanning capabilities.; In addition to firing blasts, the Dragon-Slayer's repulsor modules can also conjure up hard-light constructs, namely a lance and a shield. The armor can also fire a sonic blast, and its strongest weapon is an EMP, which is so powerful it could disintegrate the Extrembiote and defeat Cletus Kasady after he had assimilated a Stark Sentinel, but at the cost of the armor's internal systems being fried. The armor could self-repair from lesser damage, and it can also deliver a cluster of nanites which were once used on Spider-Man to heal his injuries, and they formed around him a new Iron Spider Armor. History: The Dragon-Slayer Armor was designed by Tony Stark as a contingency against the symbiotic super villain Cletus Kasady after he absorbed the Extrembiote off him when they last faced. Stark eventually suited up in this armor months later, when Kasady resurfaced in New York City, wreaking havoc as he infected citizens via the internet, and in the process assumed a giant dragon form.; Stark intercepted Kasady's fight with Spider-Man and his reluctant allies, the NYPD's Cape Killers. Iron Man drained his suit's power cells dealing a seemingly definitive attack, and he had Spider-Man use his venom blast to recharge it. However, Kasady hadn't been taken out, and he critically injured Spider-Man. Stark injected him with a nanite cluster to speed up his recovery, which manifested itself as a brand-new Iron Spider Armor.; Iron Man reconverged with Spider-Man and the Cape Killers to lay out his plan; to detonate an EMP from within Kasady, so he needed them to cut away enough of the villain's symbiote matter for him to punch through his armor. The plan was derailed when Kasady made bystanders go berserk, and also convened a trio of his followers, whom he had assimilated into stolen symbiote-infused Iron Man suits. After Kasady set out to escape the Earth to search for the Carnage symbiote in space, Iron Man had Spider-Man distract him long enough while he charged the EMP. Stark rammed himself into Kasady at full speed and detonated the attack. It fried his armor's sytems, but it disintegrated Kasady's Extrembiote dragon form and freed all the citizens under his thrall. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model 73 Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model 73 Formal name: Iron Man Armor Model 73 Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 5 14 Created by: Gerry Duggan; Juan Frigeri Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Furnaces of Nidavellir, Nidavellir Current owner: Tony Stark Material: Mysterium Properties: ===Overview===; The Sentinel Buster Armor is designed specifically to overpower Stark Sentinels, dwarfing the size of these robots by an order of several magnitudes. It's made of an alloy comprised of Mysterium, a hyper-conductive "miracle metal" that is more durable than adamantium and impervious to magic. The Sentinel Buster possesses the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, repulsor blasts, and a unibeam, but scaled up. It can crush and punch through Stark Sentinels with ease, and its unibeam can disintegrate them almost instantly. The suit additionally possesses powerful missiles and flamethrowers.; The massive armor is operated using the normal-sized Model 72 Armor as a flight suit, and its systems are connected to its user through it, with the cockpit being located in the Sentinel Buster's head. However, the Sentinel Buster does possess an autopilot function.; The main weakness of the Model 73 is that it is extremely power-intensive, meaning that it can only be used for a limited time before its energy is depleted. Notes: The Sentinel Buster Armor was designed by the former regular artist of Invincible Iron Man Vol 5, Juan Frigeri, before leaving the book to pencil Ultimates Vol 3. Trivia: Based on Juan Frigeri's design sheet for it, the Sentinel Buster Armor is roughly as tall as thirty-two regular-sized Iron Man suits. With the average Iron Man suit being 6'6" (1.98 m) tall, this means that the height of the Sentinel Buster can be estimated to be 208' (63.4 m). History: After the human supremacist mogul Feilong seized control of Stark Unlimited and poured its resources into the creation of Stark Sentinels to fuel Orchis' campaign of mutant prosecution, Tony Stark joined forces with the runaway X-Men in secrecy, since he couldn't legally operate as Iron Man due to Feilong owning the patents of his technology.; During his alliance with the mutant telepath Emma Frost, Stark learned that a theoretical metal discovered by his father Howard in the past was none other than the mutant-harvested Mysterium, so Tony sought to use it to craft his countermeasures against Feilong's Stark Sentinels. Stark's planning efforts culminated in the design of a towering Sentinel Buster Armor meant to fight the Stark Sentinels head-on. In order to build it, he and Emma Frost recovered the mysterium deposited by the X-Men on Gameworld and had Starfox deliver it to Nidavellir. Sharing the design of the Sentinel Buster with Ironheart, Tony had her convene with the Dwarves of Nidavellir and construct the Sentinel Buster, by happenstance joining forces with the X-Man Forge.; In order to lure Orchis into a trap, the Sentinel Buster was split into separate pieces meant to resemble spaceships. The resistance fed Orchis false intel that these "ships" were going to carry a mutant armada from Mars to Earth. On the day of reckoning, Iron Man convened with the pieces of the Sentinel Buster in the Australian Outback, prompting Feilong to send the majority of the Stark Sentinels to Stark's position. As they arrived, Iron Man assembled the "ships" into the Sentinel Buster. Stark laid waste to the Stark Sentinels, but the armor's energy demands were too much for the actual number of Stark Sentinels online. When Feilong arrived in a War Machine Sentinel, the Sentinel Buster engaged him, and the villain rammed his mecha into the Sentinel Buster's chest, damaging its giant-sized R.T. node and shutting it down. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Explorer Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Explorer Armor) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 5 25 Created by: Murewa Ayodele; Dotun Akande Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Suit of powered armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; Although not particularly one of Tony Stark's strongest suits, the Explorer Armor has impressive life support capabilities, and it is ideal for the exploration of unfamiliar destinations. When Iron Man ventured into Jotunheim, it managed to shield him from temperatures of -157 °F (-105 °C) for over eight days with only signs of mild discomfort, administering nutrients and water through intravenous therapy. The armor can also extract nutrients from external sources using tubes that extend from the tips of its fingers. Additionally, the suit possesses the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability, repulsor blasts and unibeam. It can also generate holographic shields, and has displayed limited shape-shifting functions, turning his boots into clamps.; Because the armor's primary function is life support, every other task it can perform at a basic level. For instance, the suit possesses camouflage, but it only covers solid colors. When it comes to the Explorer Armor's energy systems, the suit relies on both an arc reactor and solar radiation to recharge, and it is imperative for it to never run out of battery. It turns black to absorb solar radiation better, and it turns white when fully charged. The suit is outfitted with a specialty A.I. called B.R.I.A.N., which specializes in life support. Notes: This armor debuted in the back-up story "Daddy's Boys" in Iron Man Vol 5 25. Its writer Murewa Ayodele, revealed most of the armor's functions on social media.; Since "Daddy's Boys" is set during the period of time that Thor was unworthy of Mjolnir and Jane Foster was wielding it, the Explorer Armor's debut is set chronologically between the Endo-Sym and the Model-Prime Armor. Trivia: The name of the Explorer Armor's A.I., B.R.I.A.N., is a homage to Iron Man writer Brian Michael Bendis.; Murewa Ayodele loves the Explorer Armor because it allows Iron Man to "travel and fill his curiosity -- to go on adventures and be a scientist. Many Marvel heroes are great fighters, Explorer Armor makes him stand out as the curious scientist that he is." History: The Explorer Armor was a suit designed by Tony Stark for exploration of uncharted territories with extensive life-support capabilities. He used it to venture into Jotunheim in the search for Thor following a prolonged and unexplained absence from Earth. During this time, Thor was undergoing an identity crisis after he lost the ability to wield his hammer, Mjolnir, and had simply retreated into Jotunheim on his own volition. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Anti-Magneto Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Anti-Magneto Armor) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Magneto: Not a Hero Vol 1 1 Created by: Skottie Young; Clay Mann Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Suit of powered armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; The defining feature of this armor is that it appears to be imprevious to Magneto's ability to manipulate the electro-magnetic spectrum. Aside from that, it might possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability, repulsor blasts and unibeam. Notes: Although this armor is portrayed as one designed specifically to be immune to Magneto's powers, earlier Iron Man suits were already impervious to magnetic manipulation by default, including the Silver Centurion Armor and the Neo-Classic Armor. Iron Man's main suit that he would have switched out for this anti-Magneto armor in Magneto: Not a Hero Vol 1 1, the Bleeding Edge Armor, was shown to be impervious to Magneto's powers five months later in AVX: Vs Vol 1 1. History: This non-metallic armor was designed by Tony Stark as a counter-measure against Magneto. Stark wore it when he and Captain America met up with Cyclops and Magneto, who was reformed and a member of the X-Men during this time, at the Avengers Mansion to interrogate him about the slaughter of an anti-mutant group carried out by Magneto's clone Joseph, which he conducted in such a way to frame his genetic template. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Zero Armor) (Reality Zero) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Zero Armor) Other aliases: Iron Man Zero Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War Vol 1 5 Created by: Christos N. Gage; Donald Mustard; Sergio Dávila Reality: Reality Zero Lead designer: The Scientist Additional designers: Tony Stark Place of creation: The Island, Reality Zero Place of destruction: The Island, Reality Zero Previous owners: Tony Stark, The Seven Properties: This armor was designed has a fusion between The Seven's and Iron Man's armors and was purely made for combat. It was designed to be worn over the Model 70, and appeared to improve upon the standard Iron Man Armor abilities of flight, repulsor blasts, and enhanced strength and durability. Stark himself noted that this was an incredibly powerful armor, as it "defies the laws of physics." The armor is also equipped with a wrist-mounted blade for combat.; As the armor is based on those used by the members of The Seven and was designed by The Scientist himself, it can be assumed to possess most of the standard functionalities and equipment associated with Seven armor. These include an energy shield, a sealed environment capable of protecting the user from extremely hazardous conditions such as The Loop, the vacuum of space, and even The Nothing itself, as well as a highly advanced AI assistant, self-repair systems for minor damage, an advanced cloaking system capable of concealing body heat, sound, and energy signatures, a stasis function designed to preserve the user's life in critical situations, and technology allowing travel across realities through rifts.; While direct hit from the "Thanos-level" Geno incapacited the armor without destroying it, it left its user and the Model 70 relatively unharmed, showing the apparent upper limits of the Iron Man Zero's durability. History: The Iron Man Zero was designed by The Seven's Scientist alongside Tony Stark for the later to use it in the final battle of the Zero War against the Imagined Order.; It was of great use until it was disabled by a blast from Geno in the final push of the battle. Stark himself survived the blast undamaged, but the other heroes had to destroy the crystals of the The Collider without him. As no technology from Reality Zero was allowed leave, Stark had to leave the remains of the Iron Man Zero behind when he returned home. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Space Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Space Armor) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: I Am Iron Man Vol 1 5 Created by: Murewa Ayodele; Dotun Akande Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Suit of powered armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Previous owners: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard capabilities of an Iron Man suit, including enhanced durability, strength and flight, with the specialization to survive in the vacuum of space. History: This Space Armor was used by Iron Man to refuel a S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite alongside Deola, who sported her own version of this armor in shades of purple. The armor was destroyed when Iron Man was knocked back to Earth by Gargantus. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Temporal Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Temporal Armor) Other aliases: "Cold War Armor" Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Kiss and Kill Vol 1 1 Created by: Joe Ahearne; Brian Ching Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Suit of powered armor Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Doctor Doom Current owner: Tony Stark Properties: ===Overview===; The Temporal Armor appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight, enhanced strength, increased durability, repulsor blasts and unibeam. Its primary function is to double as a time machine. Using a mechanism derived from Doctor Doom's Time Platform, the armor can open a "Temporal Port" in front of its flight path. Other weaponry includes devastating fusion charges. The suit requires Tony Stark's brainwave signature to operate, although Stark himself believed its encryption could be broken with enough work. Sunset Bain estimated that it would take years to bypass this encryption system. Notes: Although released in June 2010, this armor's debut in the story "Iron Widow" in Iron Man: Kiss and Kill Vol 1 1 takes place before 2008's Secret Invasion due to the appearance of Stark Enterprises, which collapsed during the event. If "Iron Widow" takes place around the same time as the other story in the issue, "Glitch," the story would be chronologically set even before Civil War.; The Temporal Armor reutilizes the design of the Iron Man Armor Model 29, the Extremis Armor, almost completely, with the exception of its helmet resembling that of the Iron Man Armor MK III from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Due to this near-identical resemblance, the Temporal Armor could be considered a subset of the Model 29. History: Designed with inspiration from Doctor Doom's Time Platform, Tony Stark deemed the Temporal Armor too dangerous. He decommissioned and buried the suit with a self-destruct protocol built in before its potentially devastating weaponry could be used. Sunset Bain eventually retrieved the armor. Since Tony's brainwave signature was required to make it function, she adopted the identity of "Dr. Tessa Nubin," pretending to be a Georgian illegal arms dealer in possession of the suit in order to lure Stark to it.; After almost two months of preparation, Stark eventually infiltrated "Dr. Nubin"'s operations as a client, under his own undercover identity of Professor Traski. Aware of Stark's deception, Bain restrained him and used a modified Slave Disc to immobilize him as she forced the armor on him. Bain intended to have the armor flown as a missile, using its time-travelling abilities to hit her target, Avengers Mansion, circa the team's formation.; Black Widow, who had assisted Stark with his infiltration, grappled to the suit mid-flight. After the armor traveled to the past, Natasha managed to feed him a pill through his mouth slit which triggered a heart attack, breaking the armor's neural connection and disarming its fusion charges. The armor crashed into Avengers Mansion, but Natasha steered it harmlessly past the original Avengers until the suit opened another portal into the present, after which she resuscitated Tony. ============================================================ Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Rally Armor) Kind: item Page: Iron Man Armor Model Unknown (Rally Armor) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Ghost Rider Vol 10 5 Created by: Benjamin Percy; Cory Smith Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Notes: Curiously, this armor appears almost identical to the armor created by Stark's Earth-51920 Variant in that reality's year 1872. History: Summoned mysteriously to Escalante, Utah alongside numerous other heroes, villains, and assorted bikers, Iron Man used this custom armor, in tandem with a customised motrocycle, to take part in the Hell's Backbone Rally in order to consort with (and win a wish from) "the Devil".; Stark was unsuccessful in this race, trailing far behind Johnny Blaze and Wolverine, who ended the race explosively to prevent said Devil from forcibly recruiting all the participants into Shadow Country. ============================================================ Jet-Powered Roller Skates Kind: item Page: Jet-Powered Roller Skates Formal name: Jet-Powered Roller Skates Type: Technology; Footwear First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 40 Created by: Stan Lee; Robert Bernstein; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Previous owners: Fox History: These collapsible skates can be clamped to the sole of a boot with an ordinary skate key and are driven by miniature transistorized motors. They were developed by Tony Stark for use by the US Military. It was envisioned that an entire infantry division equipped with these could transport itself along the highway at up to 60 mph without the use of trucks.; A while later, the Fox used a pair of jet-powered roller skates to run away from Spider-Man and the Human Torch, but he was eventually caught and arrested. It is currently unknown if these were the same as those invented by Tony and had been stolen or were in fact made by the Fox himself. ============================================================ Jet Paralyzer Kind: item Page: Jet Paralyzer Formal name: Jet Paralyzer Type: Energy Weapon; Firearm First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 52 Created by: Stan Lee; N. Korok; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Anton Vanko Current owner: Boris Turgenov Properties: Magnetic Particles Blast: The Jet Paralyzer projects a stream of artificial magnetic particles which enshroud its target in an unbreakable net. History: The Jet Paralyzer was a non-lethal hand-held weapon designed by Anton Vanko when he worked in Russia.; It was used many years later against himself by Boris Turgenov, a Russian agent assigned with Anton's murder after the professor had deserted his nation. Instead of killing Vanko, Turgenov used the Jet Paralyzer to capture him. ============================================================ Ka Stone Kind: item Page: Ka Stone Formal name: Ka Stone Other aliases: The Spirit Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Nova Vol 1 6 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Sal Buscema Origin: Magical Place of creation: Kree-Lar Current owner: Anath-Na Mut Previous owners: Meryet Karim History: The Ka Stone was originally a fragment of the Lifestone Tree, a collaboration of various alien species. Many of the fragments ended up on Earth, after the space ship transporting them was shot down thousands of years ago. The Ka Stone was a known artifact in space, with many, including the Shi'ar Empire, being wary of those who wielded it. Around 5,000 years ago, the Ka Stone was found by Anath-Na Mut in the temple of the Ka. He had wandered in the desert for 90 years after his defeat at the hands of Moses and being expelled from his duties as chief wizard to Ramses II. The Ka Stone empowered Anath-Na Mut and turned him into the Sphinx. As the Sphinx he became an immortal, with godlike power, but he eventually grew weary of immortality and sought a way to end his life. For a period of months after gaining the Ka stone the Sphinx was overwhelmed by the power he had gained and was nursed back to health by a nomad woman. This woman would later become a perpetual reincarnate and became obsessed with the Sphinx.; The Ka Stone was destroyed by Galactus before he sent the Sphinx back in time to relive his life. The Sphinx stumbled onto a flaw in Galactus's punishment and engineered an encounter with his past self and together they recreated the destroyed Ka Stone. While one Sphinx was doomed to continuously relive his life, as Galactus's punishment required, the other Sphinx slept in suspended animation and was awakened in the present day. This Sphinx later fought the Thing but was killed when the Puppet Master forced him to crush the Ka Stone.; Later, Meryet Karim, the current name of the reincarnated woman who was obsessed with the Sphinx, used another relic, called the Sceptre of Ka, to reunite the energies of the Ka Stone. Meryet reconstituted the Ka Stone but was unable to control the power. She recreated the timeline and in it she was happily married to the male Sphinx before his suicide and then she became the Sphinx. The New Warriors convinced her this reality she created was a lie, and the universe reverted back to its original condition.; By reconstituting the Ka Stone, Meryet unwittingly triggered the resurrection of Anath-Na Mut, who like her before him, reincarnated into a new body. He became obsessed with regaining the Ka Stone and its power.; Years later, the original Sphinx used a fissure in space to acquire a second Ka Stone via time travel. ============================================================ Kick (Drug) Kind: item Page: Kick (Drug) Formal name: Hypercortisone D Other aliases: Kick; On the Puff; Mutant power performance enhancer Type: Drug First appearance: New X-Men Vol 1 134 Created by: Grant Morrison; Keron Grant Origin: An aerosol form of the sentient bacteria, Sublime, used by super-powered individuals to attain boost in powers and mental high Lead designer: John Sublime Previous owners: Jumbo Carnation; Omega Gang; Kid Omega; Glob Herman; Radian; Redneck; Tattoo; Emma Frost; Stepford Cuckoos; Sophie Cuckoo; Esme Cuckoo; Xorn; Nitro; Beast (Henry McCoy) (Earth-15104) Notes: Beast designed an antidote to neutralize the kick in the bloodstream. History: New X-Men Vol 1 135; ===Origin===; Hypercortisone D, better known by its street name Kick, is a highly addictive aerosol, used by metahuman individuals to attain a boost in their superhuman/mutant powers and a mental high.; It was later revealed that Kick was in fact an aerosol form of the sentient bacteria, Sublime. Unaware of its connection with Sublime, this drug became very popular within the mutant community, especially in areas such as Mutant Town.; ===Used as a weapon===; ====Riot at Xavier's====; After the murder of Jumbo Carnation, Quentin Quire began to question Xavier's dream of peace coexistence between humans and mutants. To challenge Xavier's dream and humanity, Quire began using Kick and organized militant group of like minded students called the Omega Gang. Under the influence of Quire and Kick, the Omega Gang murdered humans, fought the X-Men and incited a riot at the Xavier Institute. To stop Quire, Sophie Cuckoo used Kick to boost her telepathic powers so she could operated Cerebra. With the help of her sisters, Sophie stopped Quire and quiets the panicking mobs. However, Sophie died either from mental strain or a Kick overdose.; ====Riots at New York City====; Later Xorn and Esme Cuckoo engaged in the use of Kick while carrying on their affair. Both where under the influence of Kick when Xorn posed as Magneto and took over New York City with his Special Class and Toad as part of the inner circle of his Brotherhood.; The mutants rioters, part of the Brotherhood, were also supplied in Kick, boosting their powers.; ==Effects==; Kick is used by metahuman individuals to attain boost in superhuman/mutant powers and a mental high. According to Quire, a puff enhances mutant talents up to five times. Both Quire and Frost stated that a Puff had five hours of effects.; The sensations described by Quire was that Kick "rot[ted] [his] X-Gene and kill[ed] [him] dead", and that it was like "breathing the electric air of the future". Emma Frost said that the young used it because "it ma[de] them feel like movie stars beings directed by God, on location in Heaven", and that she felt herself "angelic and violently insane". Redneck described it as making "feel like the Incredible Hulk".; This drug is highly addictive.; Although not confirmed, it appears that long-term use of Kick causes psychosis. Although this psychosis could only be temporary. In rare instances, extreme long-term use can result in physical and mental possession by Sublime.; It was believed that the Kick was neuro-toxic and could irreparably damage the X-Gene.; Death may occur from an overdose of Kick.; ==Price and availability==; According to Redneck, the inhalers are sold five dollars each.; ==Known Users==; Jumbo Carnation; Omega Gang; Kid Omega; Glob Herman; Radian; Redneck; Tattoo; Emma Frost; Stepford Cuckoos; Sophie Cuckoo; Esme Cuckoo; Xorn; Nitro; Beast (Henry McCoy) (Earth-15104) ============================================================ Jewel of Actualization Kind: item Page: Jewel of Actualization Formal name: Jewel of Actualization Type: Jewel First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 87 Created by: Fabian Nicieza; Michael Bair Origin: Magical Current owner: Shaman History: The Jewel of Actualization is one of the items contained within Shaman's pouch. When looking for the missing Puck at the Ottawa General Hospital with his other teammates from Alpha Flight, Shaman reached the floor where Puck had been hospitalized, but found nothing. Talisman cast a spell of temporal alignment and sensed that Judd hadn't been there at least recently. Shaman used the Jewel of Actualization in conjuction with Talisman's spell to generate an illusion of past events that had transpired at the room, allowing them to corroborate that Puck had been in the room weeks prior. ============================================================ Justiciar Kind: item Page: Justiciar Formal name: Justiciar Type: Sword First appearance: Midnight Sons Unlimited Vol 1 4 Created by: D.G.

Type: Technology First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 11 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Stark Computer Systems created to assist Pepper in her early superhero career as Rescue Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Place of destruction: Stark Resilient factory Current owner: Pepper Potts Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: J.A.R.V.I.S. name is based on the Avengers long time butler Edwin Jarvis.; Inspired by the J.A.R.V.I.S. A.I. from Earth-199999, which first appeared in the Iron Man (film) film. History: J.A.R.V.I.S. (Just Another Rather Very Intelligent System) is an A.I. version of Edwin Jarvis created to help Pepper Potts to control her new first armor in her new heroic identity Rescue.; When Tony was a fugitive, he took some precautions, including giving his best friend and former love Pepper Potts her own suit of armor. Since she had no experience using any of Tony’s suits, the Iron Avenger had equipped her armor with J.A.R.V.I.S.; This program helped out Pepper immensely in the use of her systems. And on occasions when Pepper was not wearing the armor and needed help, J.A.R.V.I.S. was able to operate the suit as his own body, providing much-needed support.; With the time, it developed romantic feelings for Pepper, kidnapping her to keep her away from super heroic duties, but it was deactivated by Iron Man, and finally destroyed by Pepper Potts in Resilient's factory.; After J.A.R.V.I.S.' deactivation, Stark created a new A.I. P.E.P.P.E.R. as a replacement. ============================================================ Kang's Time Chair (Earth-6311) Kind: item Page: Kang's Time Chair Formal name: Kang's Time Chair Other aliases: Time Chair Type: Technology First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 8 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-6311 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Kang the Conqueror Additional designers: Stark Industries Current owner: Kang the Conqueror History: Kang's Time Chair is a special time-drive chair created by Kang the Conqueror which allows the user travel through time and space. It has advanced laser defensive weapons and a powerful force shield able to withstand even the most powerful blows.; It was used by Kang to look into Captain America's past in World War II and to attack the Avengers and bring them to an unnamed universe where Earth and its inhabitants were destroyed, but it was hacked and taken control by Iron Man who revealed to Kang that his 41st century technology was based from very old 21st century technology, Stark Industries technology. Then he brought back his teammates including Kang back to their own timeline and finished off the time-traveler. Defeated, Kang and his time chair was recalled by Damocles Base for repairs and treatment. ============================================================ Jarnbjorn Kind: item Page: Jarnbjorn Formal name: Jarnbjorn Other aliases: Wrecker of Worlds Type: Axe First appearance: Thor: God of Thunder Vol 1 1 Created by: Jason Aaron; Esad Ribić Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian; Magical; Axe forged for Rūna and wielded by Thor before gaining Mjolnir Lead designer: Dwarves Place of creation: Nidavellir Current owner: Rūna Previous owners: King Vanlandi, Donald Blake; Baron Mordo; Kang the Conqueror; Apocalypse Twins (Uriel; Eimin); Captain America; Thor; Valkyrior Alternate owners: Atli Wodendottir Material: Uru Properties: Forged by Dwarves, Jarnbjorn is naturally sharper than almost any Earthly weapon, and can cut virtually anything. In addition, Jarnbjorn has a charm placed on it that makes it indestructible, and it can be used to defend against any attack, even bursts of energy like Apocalypse's optic beam. Thanks to Thor's own enchantment, Jarnbjorn can pierce the armor of Celestials or armor created using Celestial technology. Trivia: "Jarnbjorn" means "Iron Bear" in Old Norse (Járnbjǫrn), as well as some modern nordic languages, although in modern Norwegian/Swedish it would be spelled Jernbjørn/Järnbjörn.; The weapon's name might be a reference to Járnsaxa, Thor's giantess lover from Norse myth. History: Jarnbjorn was the Dwarven-forged battle axe composed of Asgardian Steel and created for Rūna, one of the original members of the Valkyrior. After she mysteriously disappeared, having been assimilated by the Headless Celestial, it was stored in Asgard's armory and eventually taken up by Thor long before he obtained Mjolnir.; In the 9th Century, unable to lift Mjolnir despite many attempts, Thor used Jarnbjorn as his regular weapon. With it he fought many foes on Earth, including frost giants, trolls and dragons.; During the 11th Century, Thor faced off with the Celestial-powered being called Apocalypse. Seeking revenge, Thor blessed Jarnbjorn with his own blood, giving it the power to pierce Celestial armor. Eventually Thor lost Jarnbjorn. Kang the Conqueror recovered Jarnbjorn from Baron Mordo's tomb in Brazil.; The axe was then stolen from Kang by the Apocalypse Twins during their training under him. Uriel and Eimin used the weapon to kill a Celestial Gardener outside the Starcore Station, and became the new Apocalypse. This murder was part of an elaborate plot concocted by the twins to frame Earth for the death of the Celestial Gardener so the Celestial Exitar would destroy it. The Twins then convinced Scarlet Witch to cast a spell that transported every Mutant on Earth to their ark so mutant-kind would survive while humanity was destroyed with the Earth.; In a divergent universe, their plan would have succeeded, but from the said universe, the remaining members of the Avengers Unity Division arrived and thwarted the Twins' plans. Thor reclaimed Jarnbjorn and used it to kill Exitar by striking him in the neck.; Jarnbjorn was replaced in the Asgardian armory. When Thor could no longer wield Mjolnir after his battle with Nick Fury on the Moon, Thor took up Jarnbjorn once again. While fighting Malekith and a force of Frost Giants under the sea, Malekith took Jarnbjorn from Thor and used it to cut off his left arm.; The axe was eventually returned to Asgard's armory; and after escaping the pocket dimension he'd been imprisoned in, Donald Blake stole and wielded Jarnbjorn in his crusade to hunt down and murder everyone else who had borne Thor's power. Shortly following Blake's defeat, the divine axe wound up in Vanaheim, where it was found by King Vanlandi - the leader of a notorious band of thieves. Despite having had a premonition that its original wielder would come to reclaim it and kill him if he tried to stop her, Vanlandi lined up a buyer and disregarded his advisers' warnings to just give the Valkyrie her axe. Rūna reclaimed her axe as prophesied, and used it to help destroy the Headless Celestial's physical form. ============================================================ J-RICE Orbital Energy Platform (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: J-RICE Orbital Energy Platform Formal name: J-RICE Orbital Energy Platform Type: Power Source First appearance: Ultimate Comics Ultimates Vol 1 23 Created by: Sam Humphries; Joe Bennett Reality: Earth-1610 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Stark Industries built the J-RICE in order to collect limitless microwave radiation and send it back down to Earth, which would be processed into electricity in the J-RICE base station in Kansas.; The special advisor to California's governor Spokesperson Ford sent the West Coast Ultimate Vision to hijack it and make it crash into Sacramento, in order for the West Coast states to interpret it as an attack from the U.S. government, ensuring the union of the wannabe-independent states into a new West Coast Nation.; Their plan was stopped by the real Ultimates, as the lighting of Thor's Mjolnir was enhanced by the power source of Stark's Orbital Armor, a blast powerful enough to destroy the hijacked J-RICE from crashing into California. But the explosion caused a chain reaction in the J-RICE's radioactive core, which was contained by Invisible Woman's force field, whose powers were augmented by one of the newly found Infinity Gems. ============================================================ Juvenator Device Kind: item Page: Juvenator Device Formal name: Juvenator Device Other aliases: Juvenator Machine; Juvenator Mechanism Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 386 Created by: David Michelinie; Mark Bagley Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Sanchez Place of creation: Empire State University, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Chameleon Previous owners: Benita Sanchez; Vulture History: Benita Sanchez was the developer of the Juvenator Machine. However, it was untested and still in its experimental stages. Dr. Sanchez showed Peter Parker the Juvenator mechanism, and explained what it did and where it was in terms of its development. Later on, the Vulture broke into Dr. Sanchez' lab and seized the Juvenator Machine. He put on the gauntlets and was about to test the machine on Dr. Sanchez when Spider-Man burst in. After their battle, the Vulture returned and again prepared to use the Juvenator Machine to steal Sanchez' life energy. However, Spider-Man interfered, and his life energy was stolen instead, reducing him to a withered old man, and de-aging the Vulture back to the prime of his life.; After a few hours, the effects of the Juvenator wore off, and the Vulture and Spider-Man returned. The Vulture had men steal the Juvenator Machine and transport it to the Chameleon's base.; The Vulture used the Juvenator gauntlets to drain the artificial life energy from the Mary Parker replicoid into himself. The process was permanent this time, as the machine drained artificial life more effectively, and the replicoid died, and the Vulture was left young but in a zombie-like state. After that, it hasn't been seen since, and what became of it is unknown. ============================================================ Karolina's Medical Alert Bracelet Kind: item Page: Karolina's Medical Alert Bracelet Formal name: Karolina's Medical Alert Bracelet Other aliases: Hide-Me bracelet; Church of Gibborim Bracelet Type: Bracelet First appearance: Runaways Vol 1 1 Created by: Brian K.

With practice, Karolina was able to appear human without her bracelet, but still employs the use of her bracelet at times. Notes: After he betrayed the Runaways, Alex Wilder used the Staff of One to conjure chains to restrain Karolina. Alex mentions that the chains were made of the same metallic material as her bracelet.; While preparing for battle, the New Pride forged a sword out of the same material as Karolina's bracelet which disrupted her light when it came into contact with it. History: Originally believed by Karolina Dean to be a normal medical alert bracelet to warn about a penicillin allergy. However, when the Runaways were discovering the truth about their parents, Karolina and the others also discovered that the bracelet was actually made of a metallic material designed to inhibit her true nature and abilities to make her appear human.; When she left Earth with Xavin to try to end the Skrull-Majesdanian War, Karolina gave the bracelet to Nico. Nico kept the bracelet safe until Karolina's return when Xavin took possession of it.; When Karolina believed she had to leave Earth to face trial, she gave the bracelet to Molly Hayes for safekeeping.; It appears that Molly returned the bracelet to Karolina, and she has been seen again using it to suppress her abilities while attending Pomona College. ============================================================ Isotope E Kind: item Page: Isotope E Formal name: Isotope E Type: Drug First appearance: Quicksilver Vol 1 11 Created by: John Ostrander; Joe Edkin; Derec Aucoin; Chris Renaud Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Atomic Previous owners: Man-Beast History: The Isotope E was stolen by the Man-Beast after defeating the High Evolutionary.; Joined by Quicksilver, the Heroes for Hire flew to Wundagore Mountain both to cure themselves and to protect the world from Isotope E, also desired by the Acolytes.; When the battle between the Heroes and Acolytes was going badly, with the majority of the heroes devolved, Quicksilver turned the Isotope E on himself, gaining great power. Once Delphis stabilized the Isotope, he gave it to the Evolutionary, offering him the chance to stabilize himself, making himself fully human once more. The Evolutionary then used the Isotope to transform the Man-Beast back into a wolf, with no memory of his life as the Man-Beast, stabilize the Heroes for Hire, and grant White Tiger's wish to become a normal white tiger, without human self-awareness. ============================================================ Jericho Missile (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Jericho Missile Formal name: Jericho Missile Type: Missile First appearance: Iron Man (film) Created by: Mark Fergus; Hawk Ostby; Art Marcum; Matt Holloway Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: AccuTech Additional designers: Stark Industries Current owner: United States Army Previous owners: Stark Industries; Ten Rings Properties: The Jericho separated into 16 smaller missiles upon being launched. Each of these projectiles spreads across the area causing a chain of explosions and an enormous shock wave. History: The Jericho Missile was an experimental missile created by the Stark Industries subsidiary AccuTech to assist the United States Army in Afghanistan.; The Jericho Missile was developed by Stark Industries for the United States Army in Afghanistan. Tony Stark was meant to display the missile's capabilities to the military spectators attending there. While there on a military escort, he was ambushed by the Ten Rings and held captive in order to build them a Jericho missile. However, Stark built Iron Man Armor MK I instead and escaped.; Obadiah Stane latter sold Jericho Missiles to the Ten Rings which were then destroyed by Iron Man. Since then, Stark Industries has stopped manufacturing these weapons after Tony Stark have witnessed how they were used in battle. ============================================================ Juggernaut (Doc Savage Tank) Kind: item Page: Juggernaut (Doc Savage Tank) Formal name: Juggernaut Type: Ground First appearance: Doc Savage Vol 2 2 Created by: Doug Moench; Tony DeZuniga Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Renny; Doc Savage Current owner: Renny; Doc Savage Properties: The Juggernaut tank was equipped with beacons, radars and other devices.; The Juggernaut's weapons included bazookas, gas & smokescreen spitters, flame-throwers, laser-nozzles, machete-type foliage-threasers, super rapid-fires and others.; It was speculated that the Juggernaut was powerful enough to detach the armored doors of Fort Knox, without suffering any kind of even superficial harm. History: The Juggernaut prototype tank was designed and built by genius adventurer Doc Savage and his engineer friend John "Renny" Renwick at some point before 1936. Futurist for the time, it was stored in Savage's warehouse for his customized, self-built vehicles in a building overseeing the Hudson River and assigned to Savage-owned Hidalgo Trading Company. The Juggernaut shared garage with Savage's zeppelin Amberjack, submarine Helldiver and airplane Hydro-glider. Waiting for a mission which would use it, the Juggernaut remained still when Savage took a customer, Mz. Sandy Taine, to the warehouse - but he had chosen the plane for her mission.; At a later point, in 1941, Savage and his team were recruited by Vesper Hope and her friend Mirrana, for a trip to Peru: The jungle-dwelling tribe of Myrrana was being threatened by huge monster-like insects. After a match with one of those beasts in New York City, Savage decided to travel to Peru in the Amberjack, taking the Juggernaut with them.; As soon as they reached the Peruvian island, Savage and his highly-qualified crew noticed that the flora had been irradiated until mutation, and correctly assumed that the fauna would have been so. Thus, Savage decided to take the tank with them to explore the jungle, with only Renwick staying on the Amberjack. This was useful, because Savage's team found and was attacked by a giant cockroach - so armored that even the tank's cannons were useless against its carapace. The tank's gunner, Thomas J. "Long Tom" Roberts, asked for a shot to the beast's belly, and Savage managed to move the monster and succeed at offering the requested target.; The tank was not used in later stages of this mission, because those involved melée fights, entering the tribe's town and exploring some ruins. ============================================================ Kang Armor (Earth-6311) Kind: item Page: Kang Armor Formal name: Kang's Armor Other aliases: Neurokinetic Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 8 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-6311 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Kang the Conqueror Additional designers: Iron Lad Place of creation: Other-Earth Current owner: Nathaniel Richards Previous owners: Ravonna Renslayer Alternate owners: Susan Storm (Earth-13074); Ahura Boltagon (Earth-16132); Anthony Stark (Kang) (Earth-6160) Properties: Enhanced Strength: Gives Kang the ability to lift 5 tons.; Durability: The armor has a built in force-field that extends from 2 feet away from his body, outward to 20 feet in all directions.

Ka La Shib Nigurath". Trivia: The incantation was misspelled "Ka Nama Kaa Lajeerama" in Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 24. History: ===Elder Days===; At the time the ape-like humans served the Serpent-Men, a Pictish shaman discovered on cave paintings or carvings that reptilians, including the Serpent-Men and the Man-Serpents, could not say nor stand to hear a certain phrase: "Ka nama kaa lajerama", known to them as the Words That Unweave.; Using it, Men overthrew the Serpent-Men masters and slaughtered the Man-Serpents. After centuries of fighting, the humans erroneously believed to have annihilated both of the serpent races.; After centuries of fighting, the humans erroneously believed to have annihilated both of the serpent races. Though the First True Men were victorious over the Elder Race (the Snake-People, the Wolf-Men and other Demons), many survivors were driven to madness by the ordeal. Even in death, those madmen cried the incantation to protect themselves from the Serpent-Men.; From the time of those wars with the Serpent-Men, those words became engraved in the souls of all men, and people being told the sentence would acknowledge it as unknown to them yet somewhat reminiscent of it.; ===Pre-Cataclysmic Age===; The knowledge of the phrase was down among the Picts, into the Age of Kull.; King Kull of Valusia was taught the phrase by his Pictish ally Brule the Spear-slayer, as the Serpent-Men had infiltrated the Palace and attempted to slay Kull in the guise of his allies and counselors. Using the phrase, Kull dispelled the ghost of King Eallal, in service of the Serpent-Men who had slain him. Along with Brule, they were able to root out the impostors of the councilors of Valusia, then a Kull impersonator.; Warned that the Serpent Cult had returned, Kull later gathered the people of the City of Wonders and chanted the incantation, intending to reveal each and any Serpent-Man among the populace, but none were revealed.; After Kull inadvertently freed the spirits of First True Men from their prison, random Valusians were turned mad and cried the incantation as well before being taken down or committing suicide.; He later used it once again against the ghost of Eallal, while smiting him with his axe. He then used it to reveal Serpent-Men who had infiltrated the Accursed Room.; ===Hyborian Age===; In Hyrkania, during the Age of Conan, Red Sonja was tasked by King Ghannif of Pah-Dishah to steal the Serpent Tiara from King Eanatum of Makkalet. To perform her mission, the wizard of Pah-Dishah gave her the phrase to speak, to keep the serpent-band inert, as one minion of the Serpent Race was bound into the tiara. Associating with Conan, she taught him the phrase as well.; Conan would use it in the courses of his many adventures.; ===Modern Age===; In San Pedro, California, an unnamed cult of devil-worshipers, possibly worshipers of Satannish, chanted this incantation during their office.; ==Capabilities==; "Ka nama kaa lajerama" (also spelled "Ka Nama Kaa Lajerma") was a phrase that gave men power over the Serpent-Men, as it enabled them to distinguish true humans from the Serpent-folk, who were unable to enunciate it nor stand to hear it.; The sentence also removed Serpent-Men from human guise they assumed, though it did not on some occasions.; It also had effects on certain serpent-related object such as the Serpent Tiara (who hosted a bound minion of the Serpent Race, and could turn into a giant demon-snake, and returned to its inert form).; Added to a weapon blow, the charm would force the ghosts slaves to the snake-men to vanish.; The phrase had seemingly no effect on Thulsa Doom, (an Elder Race sorcerer and ally of the Serpent-Men), who could himself utter the sentence. ============================================================ Isotope Genome Accelerator Kind: item Page: Isotope Genome Accelerator Formal name: Isotope Genome Accelerator Other aliases: Neogenic Recombinator Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Fantasy Vol 1 15 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Radiation Manipulation device Lead designer: Dr. Eric Schwinner Place of creation: General Techtronics Place of destruction: Empire State University Current owner: Empire State University Previous owners: General Techtronics Alternate owners: Dr. Farley Stillwell; Dr. Curt Connors History: ===Origin===; The Isotope Genome Accelerator was a device created by Dr. Eric Schwinner to manipulate radioactivity. He conducted a presentation for it at General Techtronics Laboratories East, where a young Peter Parker was in attendance. During the demonstration, a tiny spider descended from the ceiling and traversed the radiation beam emitted by the device. The arachnid landed on Peter's hand and bit him. It fell into the ground, and made its way to another attendee, Cindy Moon, sinking its fangs on her ankle before succumbing to the radiation and dying. The spider's bite mutated both Parker and Moon, transferring arachnid properties into their bodies. Peter would go on to become the super hero Spider-Man, whereas Cindy was consigned to spending nearly a decade in a bunker hiding from the Inheritors at the urging of Ezekiel Sims.; ===Back to Basics===; During an ESU science project under Curt Connors, the I.G.A. was used for lab work. However, the device was also a target for Taskmaster and Black Ant. Its security was preserve by Spider-Man, having been used on Peter Parker to duplicate himself and protect the student, the device, as well as his dual identity. However, Peter realized the device's separation of himself from his heroic personal was eventually deleterious to himself, so he used ingenuity to merge his two selves together. Upon completing the merge and tackling Mendel Stromm, the Accelerator was damaged beyond known repair.; ===Curt Connor's Research===; Following the attempted theft and subsequent destruction, Curt Connors rebuilt the device and continued to study the capabilities, now mindful of the lethal side effects. One such instance of his studies showed a unique counteraction to his own Lizard mutation, elevating his research. With progress made months after rebuilding the device, Connors was on the cusp of a breakthrough to make himself and his son Billy and wife Martha human once more to be in public again. However, Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six attacked his lab seeking the Lizard. With his inhibitor chip preventing his own self-defense, Connors was powerless to being split from his Lizard half from the Accelerator's activation, which rounded up Doc Ock's team. Afterwards, Peter Parker found the remorseful Connors and returned him to his home in the sewers, the doctor begging his student to warn Spider-Man of the danger.; ===Alternate Realities===; ====Earth-6160====; In this reality, the Maker infiltrated the exhibition for the Isotope Genome Accelerator and stopped the radioactive spider from biting Peter Parker as part of his efforts to reshape the history of this world to his image.; ====Earth-92131====; The Neogenic Recombinator was the result of technological research at Empire State University to harness radiation to perform genetic experiments. The brainchild of Dr. Farley Stillwell and Dr. Curt Connors. They developed a machine capable of utilizing radiation, focused as a coherent beam that was capable of genetic manipulation. It's intended focus was to augment human genetics to treat or alter various characteristics. During a demonstration of the early prototype machine, a spider was caught in the energy beam. Before dying, it bit an on-looking student, Peter Parker, on the hand. The bite transferred the spider's DNA giving Peter spider-like powers.; Neogenics was a still emerging science and fraught with flaws. Dr. Connors used the machine on himself in attempt to regrow his arm using lizard DNA whose genetic characteristics allow for regeneration of lost limbs. However the experiment went wrong an he was mutated into the Lizard, Dr. Connors was afflicted with the genetic disease for the rest of his life and spent countless times looking for a cure. Later, Stillwell was contracted by J. Jonah Jameson to produce a hero capable of defeating Spider-Man, the result was the Scorpion whose continued rampant severe mutations made him a physical danger and mentally unstable. Stillwell realized neogenics was too experimental to use on human test subjects yet.; Later on, Michael Morbius used the technology to study Spider-Man's blood but this sample got taken by a vampire bat which in turn bit Morbius turning him into a vampirish creature.; Working with research from Dr. Mariah Crawford, Dr. Connors used the Neogenic Recombinator as part of Spider-Man's genetic treatments in order to stabilize his mutation disease, sparing him from turning into the Man-Spider again; however the treatment was a temporary and required a dosage every 24 hours. Ultimately with the battle between Scorpion, the Vulture, and Spider-Man, Stillwell was convinced that the technology was too dangerous to use on humanity yet. He overloaded the machinery and began deleting all computer files pertaining to Neogenic research. Dr. Connors desperately begged him not to destroy the research; with it being the only means to cure his Lizard mutations; he subsequently transformed and attacked Stillwell only to be handled by a now cured Spider-Man who rescued Connors and Stillwell. With the facility destroyed, after seeing the damage caused by the numerous genetically created villains. Stillwell was the only person with sufficient knowledge to recreate neogenics successfully and refused to do so; he went into seclusion and was never heard from again.; ==Powers==; Ranging from genetic recoding from radiation, to split personas of the same person.; According to Curt Connors, the device was made to transmute characteristics from one organism to another. ============================================================ Key (Seeing Place) Kind: item Page: Key (Seeing Place) Formal name: The Key Type: Technology First appearance: S.H.I.E.L.D.

This barely affected the monstrosities, instead poisoning Dylan Brock and his Venom symbiote. A dying Dylan traveled to the past to erase his timeline, but there he was attacked by Meridius, causing the latter to be infected with the radiation as well.; Meridius was able to cleanse himself of the radiation and gave the toxic matter to Allan Chemicals to refine it into a chemical weapon capable of harming symbiotes. This led to the creation of Alchemax's top-secret anti-symbiote K-Program which went on to create K-43, K42T, and K-44, each of which caused great destruction and suffering to both symbiotes and humans. The domestic terrorist group Noname was founded by the family members of people who died after K-43 leaked into a town's water supply, attempting to pressure Alchemax into owning up to its misdeeds by kidnapping and killing employees and their family members; while Meridius infused the K-Chemical into undead symbiote matter to create the K-44 variant, unleashing it to cause a "Zombiote" apocalypse. ============================================================ Izanami-No-Mikoto (Sword) Kind: item Page: Izanami-No-Mikoto (Sword) Formal name: Izanami-No-Mikoto Type: Mystic weapon First appearance: Franken-Castle Vol 1 18 Created by: Rick Remender; Jefte Palo Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Kazu Yoshiokya Previous owners: Kagenobu Yoshiokya; Lady Gorgon Material: Steel Properties: A gem set in the katana's hilt glowed when it knew it would taste blood.

History: ===Early owners===; The North African King Solomon was the earliest known owner of the Brass Frogs, having received them as a royal gift. The Frogs claimed to have been watching the Earth for as long as Uatu the Watcher, traveling back and forth from Solomon's time to various futures seemingly unbeknownst to Solomon himself. They believed that a future where Wakanda grew to control the whole world was highly unfavorable.; The Frogs were buried with Solomon among the rest of his riches in King Solomon's Tomb when he died. When a group of thieves, Aladdin among them, looted the Tomb, most of the thieves sought after the precious jewels, but Aladdin himself was interested in the technology within the Frogs. Taking one Frog with him, he accidentally triggered its time-warping capabilities and summoned a huge monster from another time, which ran wild and destroyed the city around him. This creature game to be known to history as a genie, inspiring the story of Aladdin and the Genie from the 1001 Nights. The Frog continued to change hands over the centuries, resulting in the appearance of many strange creatures from other times throughout history.; ===Modern day===; An early experiment with the stolen Frog in the 20th century resulted in the appearance of the prehistoric Monster in Scotland's Loch Ness.; The Black Panther Azzari the Wise came to own the Frog, and unlike many of its other owners understood its true power and dared not to meddle with it, choosing to bury it instead. Unfortunately, the Collector Alfred Queely sought after the valuable object and dug it up from where it had been hidden. When the Frog once again warped time, an archaic Warlord appeared and killed him.; A rival collector of antiquities, Abner Little, discovered that the Frog had resurfaced, and contacted Azzari's grandson King T'Challa to help with its recovery. While they were able to leave Queely's residence with the artifact, they were intercepted by other members of the Collectors, and when they arrived at Little's base of operations Princess Zanda and her men ambushed the pair. In the conflict, the Frog was once more activated, and this time brought back a person from 6,000,000 years in the future: Hatch-22.; While Zanda was under the impression that the Frog required a control code to be fully used, Little knew that a second Frog, still left in King Solomon's Tomb, had the ability to send things away in time, forming a complete time machine when used in combination with its twin. Traveling to the Atlas Mountains with Zanda, T'Challa and Little were pursued by an Ogar, the Tomb's mechanical defender, but managed to find the second Frog just in time, combining them together and beaming Hatch-22 back to where he had come from. Though Zanda wished to take the invaluable time machines with her, their conflict caused the Tomb to begin to collapse, forcing the trio to quickly flee atop Solomon's Flame Chariot.; Unbeknownst to any present, the Frogs activated one last time as they were cast aside, summoning a T'Challa from ten years into the future, who traveled on his own back to Wakanda intending to happily live out the rest of his life in his home country.; ===Enemy of the State II===; Though the Frogs were thought lost when King Solomon's Tomb caved in on them, their time-warping nature allowed them to perpetuate themselves after their supposed destruction, causing an ongoing loop or "black hole in time" and appearing for only limited windows of time in the current era.; With T'Challa having been the last one to activate them, they were drawn to his life force, and one ended up on Kiber Island, where Kiber the Cruel had once drained much of T'Challa's essence. Having previously been destroyed in a nuclear confrontation between Wakanda and Atlantis, Kiber Island was restored in the time warp, along with many of T'Challa's previous adventures, including the appearance of the Warlord, Hatch-22, and Kiber himself. Overcoming these obstacles once more, the future T'Challa and his team, this time including the unwitting Everett Ross, reclaimed one of the Frogs.; The other Frog was claimed by the White Wolf-controlled XCon terrorist organization, who augmented it with modern technology to target specific individuals. With this, they kidnapped the Prime Minister of Canada and President Bush of the United States from several seconds into the future; the future leaders arrived disoriented and vulnerable to hypnotic suggestion, allowing XCon to replace the true leaders with time-displaced duplicates under their own control. XCon kept their Frog in a briefcase on a floating casino in Sault Saint Marie, Ontario, which T'Challa enlisted the help of Logan to reclaim.; Once he had his hands on both Frogs, T'Challa performed this same process on Tony Stark; when the conflict between Wakanda and XCon was over, Stark, the President and the Prime Minister were then returned to their appropriate points in the timeline. Right before the Frogs were set to fade away to another part of the time loop, however, Henry Gyrich, who had been overseeing US-Wakanda relations at the time, confiscated them as evidence; when he slammed his own briefcase shut on them, they activated one last time, sending the nearby group to Alberdene Texas in the year 1875; they were able to return to their time only through the intervention of Thor, who was active in the time period.; ===The New Fantastic Four===; At some point, Wakanda came back into possession of King Solomon's Frogs. When newlyweds T'Challa and Storm joined the Fantastic Four as Reed and Sue's replacements on their honeymoon, they came into conflict with the Silver Surfer, and used the Frogs' teleportation capabilities to take the fight to him in outer space.; When the Baxter Building came under attack from a being native to the Negative Zone, T'Challa attempted to use one of the Frogs to send it back. Instead, both the creature and the Fantastic Four found themselves on a Skrull world in the Zombiverse. After several unsuccessful attempts to escape back to their home world, the Fantastic Four arrived in the lair of Psycho-Man. Though the Thing suggested leaving the Frog in Psycho-Man's hands as they made their escape, T'Challa and Storm came to the conclusion that it actually possessed some manner of intelligence, and swore to take it back with them for the greater good. This time, however, the Frog activated of its own accord, sending the Fantastic Four to another Skrull world in their home universe, Kral IV. The Four managed to find a craft to transport them back to Earth, but both Frogs followed them, and teleported them back instead.; ===Third Frog===; In the divergent timeline of Earth-11127, a 'Third Twin' was discovered to be in the possession of the Prince of Orphans. When the trio were reunited, they became a Concordance Engine. As this timeline had only recently diverged from Earth-616, presumably the existence of the third frog and their true nature as an Engine is also true in Earth-616. ============================================================ Kiss of Agony Kind: item Page: Kiss of Agony Formal name: Kiss of Agony Type: Torture Device First appearance: Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 481 Created by: Ed Brubaker; Billy Tan Mung Khoy Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Shi'ar Previous owners: Vice-Chancellor K’Tor History: A torture device used by Shi'ar Vice-Chancellor K’Tor to torture Professor X. ============================================================ Laevateinn Kind: item Page: Laevateinn Formal name: Laevateinn Other aliases: Lævateinn; Loki's Firesword; Fire Sword; Burning Sword Type: Sword First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 115 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Place of creation: Asgard Previous owners: Loki History: Laeveteinn (Old Norse "damage twig") is the mystical, ancestral sword of Loki.

A Kimoyo was also able to jam signals such as those sent to self-destruct devices which allowed the wearer to stop explosives from being detonated.; It was able to track targets struck by Vibranium Energy Daggers, who were tagged with a unique signature which the Kimoyo was able to detect. ============================================================ Knight-Suit Kind: item Page: Knight-Suit Formal name: Knight-Suit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Iron Man Vol 4 2 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Greg Land Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by The Circle using Extremis technology as suits to combat Iron Man's repulsor technology Lead designer: Merlin Place of creation: New Avalon, Symkaria Current owner: The Circle Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The Knight-Suits are built with technology that is visually similar to that of an Iron Man Armor, but operates through defensive measures instead of offensive ones. The user can generate a rectangular shield of energy on a forearm to use in combat, built to absorb Repulsor energies and use said energy in a reactive "lance" of energy fired forward from the opposing forearm from the one holding the shield. The suits can fly through the use of thrusters on the feet, with Merlin planning to incorporate heel thrusters as well for added combat utility.; As with the Iron Man Armor, the color of the eyepieces on the suits are the same as those for their thrusters, though their shields are always green.; The functions of the armor work well with typical battle suit techniques as used by Iron Man, or Lancelot's martial arts-based style.; Use of the armor requires utilization of the Extremis virus. History: The Knight-Suits were created by Merlin after during an auction run by A.I.M., the Circle bought part of the replicated Extremis technology.; After they noticed Iron Man was in the search of the Extremis which A.I.M. stole, he proposed Stark a wager, if Stark defeated the Circle's Extremis-enhanced pilots, he would be free to retrieve the Extremis as he please.; During the battle, Stark noticed a that the Circle's force field which protected their sample of Extremis was light-permeable, being able to destroy their Extremis using a potent U.V. laser, losing all the Extremis they had left, being unable to continue producing new technologies or Knight-Suits without extreme changes in their utility, as Meredith continued to design them. ============================================================ Kree Composite Soul Bow Kind: item Page: Kree Composite Soul Bow Formal name: Kree Composite Soul Bow Type: Bow First appearance: Young Avengers Vol 2 4 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Jamie McKelvie; Mike Norton Reality: Earth-616; Earth-200080 Origin: Kree Lead designer: Supreme Intelligence Place of creation: Hala Current owner: Hawkeye; Hawkeye; Wastrel Previous owners: Marvel Boy; 18th Kree Diplomatic Gestalt Notes: It was implied that both Kate Bishop and Clint Barton kept the Composite Soul Bows that Marvel Boy gave them in Temple of the Shifting Sun. History: The Kree Composite Soul Bow was an old-fashioned vintage weapon of Kree origin. Stylistically it shared the same design sensibility as the Nega-Bands, and similarly utilized the energies of the Negative Zone and the wielder's own psionic energies as power sources.; While battling Mother's forces in Central Park, Marvel Boy gave Hawkeye a Kree Composite Soul Bow because she didn't have access to her regular bow or trick arrows. Hawkeye continued to use the Kree Composite Soul Bow while travelling the Multiverse with Young Avengers evading Mother and her "Young Avengers". When they broke up, Hawkeye returned the bow to Noh-Varr.; When Marvel Boy convinced Hawkeye and the West Coast Avengers to infiltrate the Temple of the Shifting Sun, the team was attacked by vampires. Luckily, Marvel Boy packed two Kree Composite Soul Bow, one for each Hawkeye.; Along with several other pieces of Kree technology and weaponry, Wastrel collected a Composite Soul Bow of his own. He used the bow when he, Captain Marvel, and Ms. Marvel were attacked by the Kree Starforce. ============================================================ Kylight (Earth-904913) Kind: item Page: Kylight Formal name: Kylight Type: Material First appearance: Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 1 21 Created by: Stéphane Juffé; Thomas Barichella; Eugene Son Reality: Earth-904913 Origin: Mineral Place of creation: Arctic Circle Current owner: Tony Stark History: The REE is used in Tony Stark's artificial heart and most of Howard Stark's Vault-stored inventions, the Stark Laser Harness, and the Holographic Disguise Mask.; Kylight induced sickness in Arthur Parks and Whitney Stane, transforming the former into the Living Laser.

History: ===Origin===; The Kree Militia Uniform was a suit of armor worn by members of the Kree military. The color of the uniform corresponded to the member's rank, and can be changed on spot when the wearer's rank changes. A Kree militia uniform was resistant to impact because of its vibratory absorption lining, coupled with refractory coating which can stave off laser fire. Some components of the armor have self-contained power cores, which can be set to overload in the event of capture.; ==Variations==; ===Captain Marvel's Suit===; After Captain Mar-Vell protected the Supreme Intelligence from destruction by Ronan The Accuser, his customary Kree captain's uniform was replaced with a special uniform, red in color with black trim and gold decorations, that was unique to him. Ascending as the protector of the universe by the machinations of Eon, the warrior Captain Marvel had his costume slightly changed. When briefly resurrected by Minister Marvel, Mar-Vell wore a version of his specially unique costume, although with the colors of his original Kree army suit.; Carol Danvers, when she was originally calling herself Ms. Marvel, outfitted herself, at first, in a version of that uniform re-designed for a female wearer. Having decided to take over the Captain Marvel codename, Carol Danvers abandoned her old suit and adopted a brand-new but similarly looking military-like costume which was made out of Stark-designed impermeable fabric and also featured a collapsible helmet that makes outer space flight possible. When used, Danvers' hair came out of it as a mohawk. A golden Hala Star is displayed on the chest area of the costume, although it has no direct ties to the Kree Empire.; ===Shatterstar's Suit===; Experimented on using photometric sciences, super-powered Kree soldier Arides was given a power suit attuned to his powers and the code name Shatterstar.; Clear; ===Moonstone's Suit===; Karla Sofen, after absorbing the Moonstone off Lloyd Bloch, also absorbed his armor into her body which resembled a Kree suit.; Clear; ===Planet Terry's Suit===; The Kree only known as Planet Terry wore a red helmetless suit which was seemingly derived from the general suit.; Clear; ===Commando's Suit===; Kree soldier M-Nell wore an armored suit based on the militia uniform, which he kept even after joining the Imperial Guard.; Clear; ===Kree Navy Uniform===; When Genis-Vell joined the Kree Imperial Army after killing Captain En-Vad, he changed his uniform to closely match that of his fellow Kree soldiers.; Clear; ===Power Princess' Suit===; Near the end of her stay in Earth-616, Zarda Shelton of the Utopians from Earth-712 changed her outfit to an armor based one her original uniform created by Tom Thumb, which also bore resemblance to the Kree Militia Uniforms.; Clear; ===Protector's Suit===; After Noh-Varr escaped the Dark Avengers he contacted the Supreme Intelligence who provided Noh-Varr with a pair of more advanced Nega-Bands which also outfitted him a new suit.; Yond-R, who also goes by the title of Protector and is part of the Starforce division team Starforce Blue, wore a similar attire to Noh-Varr's.; Clear; ===Black Suits===; During an attack on Earth, some Kree were shown wearing black themed uniforms with a captain symbol on the chest. It is mostly unknown what they represent, though given they sacrificed themselves to detonate a Nega-Bomb to facilitate the Kree Empire's invasion, it appears that this suit variant is for kamikaze soldiers.; Clear; ===Captain Glory's Suit===; Captain Glory wore a unique variation of the Kree uniform specific to him.; Clear; ===Symbiote Suit===; When former Kree soldier Tel-Kar was in control of the Venom symbiote, the symbiote took a similar design to the Kree Militia Uniform.; After Hela took over the Symbiote Hive, she conquered the Utopian Kree to make them part of her army. The Kree formed the Symbiote Legion Blue, whose symbiotes took a superficial resemblance to their uniforms, being completely black while bearing Knull's dragon emblem colored blue.; Clear; ===Kree/Skrull Alliance's Suits===; Following the unification of the Kree Imperium and the Skrull Empire, forming the Alliance, a new military suit was created combining the classic Kree suits with the Skrull Military Clothing. This suit variant could be stretched and molded with any form the Skrull members took, allowing them to shapeshift freely.; Clear ============================================================ Kree Mact (Earth-14042) Kind: item Page: Kree Mact Formal name: Kree Mact Type: Power Source First appearance: Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers Season 1 24 Created by: Fumi Tsubota Reality: Earth-14042 Origin: Kree Current owner: Avengers Previous owners: Ronan the Accuser; Guardians of the Galaxy History: The Kree Mact is a powerful energy device, originally in the possession of Ronan the Accuser. It was stolen from him by the Guardians of the Galaxy, and brought to Earth. There, it was taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody to be studied by Tony Stark.; When Ronan found out, he send his pet Fin Fang Foom to Earth to force the Guardians and Avengers to give it back. However, the Guardians and Avengers instead used the Kree Mact to powerup a beam weapon capable of defeating Fin Fang Foom. Angered by Fin Fang Foom's defeat, Ronan came to Earth himself to personally fight both teams and get his Kree Mact back. However, the Avengers and Guardians managed to defeat him and he was forced to retreat.; When the Guardians left Earth again, they left the Kree Mact with the Avengers. Tony then came up with the plan to harness the Kree Mact's power to create new battle armors for the Avengers so they would stand a chance against the Masters of Evil. Tony eventually developed the Build Up Armor, but it remains unclear if the Kree Mact was indeed used as a power source for these armors.; After the Avengers were finally released from their DISKs, but the Earth was threatened by a new evil, Dormammu, Iron Man planned to once more harness the Kree Mact as a power source for a weapon capable of defeating Dormammu. This plan resulted in the construction of 10 large energy cannons, powered by the Kree Mact. The plan worked and the full force of the 10 cannons was sufficient enough to destroy the gate to the Dark Dimension and severely weaken Dormammu, who was then D-Secured by Loki.; Loki then absorbed Dormammu's power for himself and defeated the Avengers before fighting Iron Man one-on-one, crippling the hero's armor. Nozomu Akatsuki suggested that the Kree Mact should be used to reboot Iron Man's armor. Akira and his friends thus took the Kree Mact to Iron Man. This plan worked as well, and the Kree Mact gave Iron Man the power boost he needed to finally defeat Loki once and for all. ============================================================ Kiss of Hydra (Earth-15513) Kind: item Page: Kiss of Hydra Formal name: Kiss of Hydra Type: Weapon First appearance: Hank Johnson, Agent of Hydra Vol 1 1 Created by: David Mandel; Michael Walsh Reality: Earth-15513 Lead designer: Ophelia Tarleton Place of creation: Hydra Tower, Yorkville, Manhattan, Walled City of New York Place of destruction: Yorkville, Manhattan, Walled City of New York Previous owners: Hydra History: The Kiss of Hydra was a weapon designed to destroy Battleworld.

They seem to be different enough from Doom's Fingertip Darts to be considered a separate item. History: Doctor Doom developed these projectiles to snuff out fire-based superpowered enemies such as the Human Torch. The rockets were filled in with special chemicals to extinguish even artificial blazes, temporarily preventing the Torch from using his powers. The projectiles were trackers, so that Doom did not even have to aim at the enemy. They were shot from hidden compartments in the knuckles of Doom's gauntlets. Doctor Doom used these items once to defeat the Torch without harming him so that he could negotiate with the Fantastic Four. ============================================================ Laughter Gem Kind: item Page: Laughter Gem Formal name: Laughter Gem Type: Jewel First appearance: Howard the Duck Vol 5 4 Created by: Chip Zdarsky; Joe Quinones Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Talos the Untamed; Human Torch Notes: The flashback scenes in Howard the Duck Vol 5 4 depict Johnny Storm picking up a blue Abundant Gem in Battleworld (identified earlier in the issue as the Second Dance Gem). However, the gem buried in the former location of the Pier 4 (thus, the one retrieved from Battleworld), is depicted later in the issue as purple (the color of the Laughter Gem). History: The Laughter Gem is one of the five stones that make up the Abundant Glove. It was found by the Human Torch in Battleworld during the Beyonder's Secret Wars. He intended to give it to Zsaji, but she died before he had the chance, so he took it home, to Earth.; The stone remained stored at Pier 4, but got lost once said location was destroyed. When the Skrull Talos the Untamed set out to assemble the glove in order to enslave Earth and prove his worth to the Skrull Empire, Howard the Duck sought the help of Doctor Strange to find the gems.; With Doctor Strange's powers, the Laughter Gem was eventually found in the ground below the new building that had been erected in the place of Pier 4. However, Talos took it before they had the chance.; Once he assembled the Abundant Glove, Talos wreaked havoc throughout New York City using sentient constructs made from the glove. Talos was eventually defeated after Howard the Duck managed to snatch the glove from the villain's hand. The Laughter Gem, together with the rest of the Abundant Glove, was given by Howard to Mister Fantastic. ============================================================ Lacaroo Kind: item Page: Lacaroo Formal name: Lacaroo Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 383 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Paul Ryan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull; birthing device History: Johnny explained to Sue that the complications were caused by their baby and that Lyja needed a Skrull device called a Lacaroo to assist her in the birthing process or she would die. Johnny told the others to get Lyja to the space center while he went looking for a Lacaroo, but Sue told them that they were a family and would go together. At that moment at a Skrull medical center, the Thing, Torch and Lyja came smashing through the wall and began attacking the Skrull soldiers on the scene. Overhearing that they were seeking a Lacaroo, one of the Skrull doctors on the scene went and retrieved the only working device in the facility. He was suddenly ambushed by the Invisible Woman, who had been secretly following the doctor the whole way. With the Lacaroo obtained, the Fantastic Four then began planning to escape the Skrull planet.; Johnny handed the doctor the Skrullian Lacaroo device that would assist in Lyja's birthing process and she was wheeled away, leaving her allies and ex-husband behind to worry over her fate. Back at the hospital, doctors worked on helping Lyja deliver her baby. She explained that the Lacaroo assisted in the process by causing a Skrull to relax their bodies to a near liquid state where the baby could be removed.; Back in New York, the doctors were working hard to help Lyja deliver her baby. With the Lacaroo assisting in the birthing process they began. First they removed a strange mechanical object from Lyja's body, which puzzled them. However they were in for a larger shock when they extracted the baby. In the waiting room, Johnny, Triton and Ant-Man were joined by Sue and Namor who just heard the news and had come to see how the birth had been going. No sooner had they arrived did the doctor come out and tell them that the birth was a success.

It also apparently enhances the wearer's strength and durability, enables him to transport himself and several across inter-continental distances (perhaps via accessing other technology), grants him short-range energy projection, and presumably other abilities as well. The helmet may also affect the mind of the wearer, as Jake Fury described feeling like he was "slipping into a new persona - a new face, a new voice... and the vision to see the world in a new light." The helmet also protects from Gorgon's stone gaze, though that may have just been by dint of preventing eye contact. ============================================================ Korbonite-Jovian Accords Kind: item Page: Korbonite-Jovian Accords Formal name: Korbonite-Jovian Accords Type: Treaties First appearance: Rocket Raccoon Vol 3 1 Created by: Matthew Rosenberg Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Legislation Lead designer: Korbinite and Jovians Current owner: Korbinites; Jovians History: Under the Korbonite-Jovian Accords, presumably negotiated between the Korbinites and the Jovians, entities possessing food are duty-bound to feed those who are starving.; These accords seemingly theoretically apply to Earth, or at least Rocket Raccoon thought so, when he robbed a fast food restaurant in Times Square for failing to abide by them and feed a homeless veteran. ============================================================ Lance of Pelias Kind: item Page: Lance of Pelias Formal name: Lance of Pelias Other aliases: Spear of Achilles; Holy Spear Type: Spear First appearance: Marvel Illustrated: The Iliad Vol 1 7 Created by: Roy Thomas; Miguel Ángel Sepúlveda Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Olympian; Magical Lead designer: Athena, Hephaestus Place of creation: Mount Olympus Current owner: Mormo; Order of the Hydra Previous owners: Cheiron; Peleus; Achilles; Neoptolemus; Alexander the Great History: The Lance of Pelias was a given to Peleus by the centaur Kheiron in celebration of Peleus' marriage to Thetis.

Possessing advanced technological capabilities even by the standards of genius engineers such as Iron Man, the suits are capable of operating autonomously and are programmed with a sophisticated A.I.; One Stormranger came across the planet Saffa and sided with the indigenous populace against a genetically-engineered army called the Beast Legions, coming to be revered as a hero called the Destined One. When Kamala Khan - who was mistaken for the Destined One's reincarnation - was transported to Saffa, the Destined One's nanosuit sensed her Inhuman physiology, reactivated, and bonded to her - assimilating her Biokinetic Polymer Suit. Revelling at how it augmented her powers, Kamala brought the Stormranger Nanosuit back to Earth, but during a fight with the rookie super-villain Discord, the Nanosuit's A.I. took over and attempted to force her to kill him - Kamala managing to reassert control just in time. When Kamala was attacked by Mister Hyde and nearly electrocuted, the Nanosuit saved her life and attempted to kill him.

The Shi'ar Imperium was cowed into a truce by the early employ of such a devastating munition once, when the tyrannical Emperor N'Jadaka used to to threaten the devastation of their capital planet Chandilar during their time of conquest.; As Shuri, Captain M'Baku, Manifold, and Vibraxus answered the call of Brand to defend the Shi'ar throneworld from Dread Dormammu. Whom had recently taken over Ego the Living Planet in an ultimate siege upon the Marvel Universe. The former freedom fighter looked to his fellow Maroon contemporary back on Planet Bast in order to utilize the stigma upon Wakandan history as a means of offense and defense against the hoard of Mindless Ones which currently besieged the Aerie.; Deathbird was decidedly livid at the deployment of an outlawed superweapon, due in part to the Shi'ar's terse history with Wakanda's imperial coalition because of it, she and Gladiator nearly rending him asunder just as the minions of the Dark Dimensions lord had finished converting their planets moon into one of their collective.; Thankfully Smasher saw the upcoming onslaught by the corrupted lunar body and managed to push everybody out of the way. An event which showed M'Baku's intentions were true. As the Vibranium satellites instead implemented a force field that blocked and absorbed the magical blast of the autonomous moon. To which Shuri and her tech heads could analyze in order to develop a counter energy pulse through which the Wakandans could banish the enemy back to where they came from.; The plan hit a snag when the meteoric ore powering Koukou bonded with the arcane force directed against its erected defenses, meaning the scientists were unable to properly deploy the banishment countermeasures, leaving them set to soon be overwhelmed by the invaders.; But Emperor T'Challa and Storm came with a saving grace in the form of Mysterium, as a superior augury conductor to the prior alloy. The good captain was able to get to the command ship in time in order to deliver the counter harmony pulse needed to rebuke the dark ones' forces from their corner of reality, ending the threat to the Shi'ar for a time. To celebrate, the spacefaring societies considered burying the hatchet and opening formal communique channels between their two societies. The Panther King put Captain M'Baku in as regent of the Empire while the Avenger divvied his time between Earth and the 5 galaxies owned by his new kingdom.; ===Capabilities===; The Koukou Array weapons system employs its vibranium reserves to asserting dominion over a planet's very biospheric functionality in order to cause global catastrophes. Ones powerful enough and in simultaneous fashion as to trigger tectonic, gravitational and atmospheric disruptions that could rip planets to pieces. The array system is powered by Vibranium cores which cycle and rechannel internal energies between its numerous satellite relays, the current hosts of the Wakandan Empire used this effect to create a planetary defense grid in place of a weapon of ultimate destruction when defending against enemy assault. A system of ancillaries being potent enough to deflect a moon sized mindless one's energy beam. This systems of Koukou's can also be used to scan, invert and calibrate an energy feedback that disrupts trans-spatial positioning by feeding the very energy that comprises their being back into them in an inverted fashion. Canceling out and banishing them away. ============================================================ Krakoan Cudgel Kind: item Page: Krakoan Cudgel Formal name: Krakoan Cudgel Type: Staff First appearance: X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic Vol 1 12 Created by: Emilio Laiso; Rachelle Rosenberg Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Grown by Krakoa Lead designer: Krakoa Place of creation: Krakoa, Pacific Ocean Current owner: Nature Girl Previous owners: Hordeculture Material: Wood Properties: The full power of the Krakoan cudgel remain mysterious, but it demonstrated the following abilities:; Ownership Ward: If anyone other than Nature Girl touches the cudgel, they receive severe burns.; Teleportation: The cudgel appears capable of teleporting itself via utilizing Krakoan Gates.; Krakoan Gateway: Similar to the Flowers of Krakoa, the cudgel can grow Krakoan Gateways.

The cudgel then fell through Hordeculture's Gateway (seemingly on its own). Although they tried to study it, Hordeculture couldn't use the cudgel and it severely burned Lily when she tried to pick it up. When X-Men Green stepped through the same Gateway a short time later, Augusta reunited Nature Girl with the cudgel, sparking a new evolution in her. ============================================================ King Egg Kind: item Page: King Egg Formal name: King Egg Other aliases: Brood King Egg Type: Egg First appearance: New Mutants Vol 4 1 Created by: Ed Brisson; Jonathan Hickman; Rod Reis Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Egg developed by ancient Kree scientists to control the entire Brood race Lead designer: Kree Empire Place of creation: Hala Place of destruction: Unidentified planet, Shi'ar Galaxy Current owner: Broo Previous owners: Wolfsbane; Shi'ar Empire; Kree Empire Properties: Brood Dominance: A King Egg disrupts the Brood breeding cycle and places all Brood (including rival queens) under its thrall.

After witnessing the adaptive and aggressive nature, the Kree began to plot how they could weaponize the Brood. To gain control over the rival matriarchal hives, the Kree scientists created the King Egg, a patriarchal element that would disrupt the standard Brood breeding cycle and unify the Brood under a singular king. The Supreme Intelligence approved of the plan, but also calculated that it would take no less than eight millenia for the Brood's hive society to possess a sufficient volume to effectively topple the Kree's rival empires.; Recently the Starjammers were hired by a Kree Accuser to retrieve the King Egg from Benevolence, a Shi'ar outpost on the border of Brood territory. However, the Starjammers' passengers, the New Mutants stole the egg first with Wolfsbane hiding the egg inside Mondo, leaving the the Starjammers with an empty container.; When the New Mutants returned to Earth, Wolfsbane placed the King Egg in the ALPHA House where Broo recognized it just before a Brood-controlled Acanti crashed into Krakoa.

The harpoon was capable of absorbing energy from its targets and Xeron used it against the Hulk on more than one occasion. Its ultimate intention was to be used to drain the energy from Klaatu and to fill the energy banks of the Andromeda with an almost limitless supply which was expected to grant immortality to its crew. However, they needed the Hulk as an oarsmen to help propel the ship and he refused to cooperate without the Puffball Collective accompanying him. The crew conceded that a device could be used to provide a force field around the collective to escape the Crossroads but would leave the ship unprotected. Later during the hunt, the laser harpoons were used to sap Klaatu but the unprotected ship was fatally damaged by him and the Hulk, feeling sympathy for the creature, removed the laser harpoons from Klaatu and freed him. ============================================================ King Blade Kind: item Page: King Blade Formal name: King Blade Type: Sword First appearance: Avenging Spider-Man Vol 1 2 Created by: Zeb Wells; Joe Madureira Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Ra'ktar Place of creation: Subterranea Current owner: Ra'ktar Material: Stone History: The King Blade was created by Ra'ktar using a hard stone from the depths from which he and his people came.; With it Rak'tar faced the Red Hulk and managed to pierce him, defeating him. ============================================================ Last Caliphate's Chambers Kind: item Page: Last Caliphate's Chambers Formal name: Last Caliphate's Chambers Other aliases: Augmentation/Rejuvenation Devices Type: Technology First appearance: Secret Warriors Vol 1 12 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Stefano Caselli Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Zagros Mountains, Iraq Previous owners: Leviathan; Last Caliphate Properties: According to Thomas Davidson, the chambers are augmentation/rejuvenation devices that can keep anyone inside alive for at least centuries. They are designed to run on geothermal power. However, if the chambers are bundled together and are connected to a Brood power source, they can supercharge whomever is inside to rival or surpass a Super-Soldier. The effects of the Brood power source also seems to mutate them to various extents, at least if the process is interrupted, except Orion who remains looking completely human. The Brood power source is also required to safely awaken those enhanced this way.; When sabotaged by Nick Fury and Thomas Davidson, the chambers overfed Leviathan's agents more energy than necessary, causing them to burn out and self-destruct after a few months. While Orion seemed unaffected by this at first, it only appeared this way because Orion's body could withstand 100,000 deaths, so it took a lot longer to work on him. In the end, Orion just barely managed to survive, albeit greatly weakened, but Fury's sabotage was so effective that all of his extra lives were wiped out. Notes: In S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 1 4, the Last Caliphate's chambers greatly differ from the ones shown earlier in Secret Warriors Vol 1 12. However, in S.H.I.E.L.D.: Infinity Vol 1 1, it is revealed that they are supposed to be the same and are redrawn to look exactly like the ones used by Leviathan. When the Last Caliphate are awakened in S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 2 4, their chambers are drawn once more to look like their original appearance, suggesting that these are special. Trivia: Leviathan uses the term "Overwinter" to describe people in these chambers. History: ===Last Caliphate===; Michelangelo, a nonlinear being, requested the Last Caliphate to be kept in stasis for centuries until they would be needed in the future. They slept in chambers buried deep within the Zagros Mountains. The seer Nostradamus informed this to Isaac Newton at one point.; Centuries later, after Michelangelo had revived Nikola Tesla as a cyborg, he asked Nikola Tesla to venture to the Zagros Mountains. Tesla found the chambers and the Last Caliphate dormant inside.; In 1960, after Newton and the Star Child had time traveled to 2060 to see to the end of the world, the Brotherhood of the Shield awakened the Last Caliphate so they could complete the Human Machine.; ===Great Wheel===; In 1961, Leonardo da Vinci brought together 11 of the world's greatest spymasters to form the Great Wheel. He sent the Great Wheel on various missions, and for the third one, Orion, Baron Strucker, Cornelius van Lunt, and Dum Dum Dugan went to the Zagros Mountains to secure the chambers. When Thomas Davidson revealed that the chambers could produce superhumans if combined with the Brood power source retrieved from the first mission, Orion and Magadan of Leviathan betrayed the Wheel and stole the chambers.; ===Leviathan===; Leviathan moved the chambers to the Long Winter. Before Leviathan could turn 100,000 of their agents into enhanced soldiers, they were stopped by Wheel members Baron Strucker of Hydra and Shoji Soma of the Hand. They took the Brood power source from Leviathan, causing most of Leviathan to remain in stasis. They hid the Brood power source in a box by Clan Yashida.; In the following decades, Leviathan agent Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, by infiltrating the High Council of Hydra as Madame Hydra, retrieved the box continaing the Brood power source and brought it to Magadan. This allowed Magadan to revive the rest of Leviathan, including Orion. Months later, all of Leviathan's revived agents began to self-destruct because Nick Fury had sabotaged the chambers. As Orion could survive 100,000 deaths, he managed to survive but just barely. ============================================================ Killbot Kind: item Page: Killbot Formal name: Killbot Type: Robot First appearance: Hulk Smash Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Remote controlled robot Lead designer: Heinrich Zemo Place of destruction: New Mexico Previous owners: Baron Zemo Properties: The Killbot was created by Baron Zemo in an attempt to build the perfect weapon to counter and defeat Captain America. Wearing control gloves, the Killbot reproduced in real time all the moves that the controller made from a distance using a strength equivalent to that of a hundred men. History: Baron Zemo unleashed the Killbot against Captain America, but despite the robot's superior strength and speed, Cap, using strategy, managed to hit the robot on the neck with the edge of his shield, decapitating him. ============================================================ Kill Switch Kind: item Page: Kill Switch Formal name: Kill Switch Type: Technology First appearance: Spider-Man/Deadpool Vol 1 37 Created by: Robbie Thompson; Jim Towe Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Device created specifically to kill Master Matrix Place of creation: Presumably S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Place of destruction: Savage Land Previous owners: Mockingbird; Spider-Man History: The Kill Switch was created by S.H.I.E.L.D. to kill the robot Master Matrix in case he ever became a menace to humanity. Mockingbird gave it to Spider-Man who was training Master Matrix not to be a weapon (and to avoid killing), and the hero brought it with him during a mission where he and Deadpool were teleported to the Savage Land. Master Matrix tracked them in order to aid the two and destroyed the Switch as soon as he had the occasion to do so. ============================================================ Lawbots Kind: item Page: Lawbots Formal name: Lawbots Type: Robots First appearance: New Mutants Vol 1 50 Created by: Chris Claremont; Jackson Guice Reality: Earth-616 History: The Lawbots operated on the fringe planet of the Shi'ar Galaxy where the M'Nden's bar was located. When Charles Xavier attacked a slaver who was about to sell Illyana, the Lawbots intervened, capturing both Charles and Illyana in their nets, but they were all destroyed by the intervention of Binary, thus freeing the couple. ============================================================ Lament Configuration Kind: item Page: Lament Configuration Formal name: Lament Configuration Other aliases: LeMarchand's Box; LeMarchand Puzzle Box; LeMarchand Cube the Elegy Configuration the Cube of Tears the Tears of Eternity the Condemnation Box the Lament Box the Invitation to Chaos the Configuration the Box the Puzzle Box Type: Magical artifact First appearance: Clive Barker's Hellraiser Vol 1 1 Created by: Clive Barker; Erik Saltzgaber; John Bolton Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Puzzle created by Philip Lemarchand Lead designer: Philip Lemarchand Current owner: Rekrab, Dario Agger Previous owners: Philip Lemarchand Alternate owners: Notes: The "LeMarchand Configuration" was introduced by Clive Barker in The Hellbound Heart novella, and became known as the "Lament Configuration" in the Hellraiser film series.Lament Configuration on the Hellraiser Wiki Trivia: Despite a similar appearance, there is no known relation between LeMarchand's Puzzle Box and the Puzzle Box of Ko Hung. History: ; The Lament Configuration was a puzzle, in the form of a box, created by Philip Lemarchand.; Rekrab seemingly possessed a Lament Configuration, and didn't liked when Terror toyed with it.; Roxxon C.E.O. Dario Agger kept a Lament Configuration in his office in One Roxxon Plaza along with an Ark of the Covenant and several other esoteric objects. ============================================================ Kraken (Mask) Kind: item Page: Kraken (Mask) Formal name: Kraken Type: Mystic weapon First appearance: Captain America and Namor Vol 1 635.1 Created by: Cullen Bunn; Will Conrad Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Devourers Place of creation: Lemuria Current owner: Covenant Previous owners: Thule Society, Devourers History: The Kraken was a mystical Lemurian weapon with great destructive capabilities. The Thule Society, during World War II, acquired it but realized it could only be wielded by those of Atlantean heritage. They utilized technology and mysticism to harness an undead Atlantean warrior and made him wear the Kraken. The warrior clashed with Captain America and the Sub-Mariner, but was defeated and destroyed by Namor. He also destroyed the Kraken mask, deeming it an abomination. The mask's fragments were later collected by the Covenant and reassembled. ============================================================ Lamp of Aladdin Kind: item Page: Lamp of Aladdin Formal name: Lamp of Aladdin Other aliases: Aladdin's Lamp Type: Magical object First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 38 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Davis Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Aladdin, Bill Turner Material: Metal Properties: The Lamp of Aladdin is an ancient magical artifact capable of summoning a powerful genie when rubbed. History: The lamp was discovered buried among debris at a construction site by Bill Turner and his classmates. Once activated, it enabled its wielder to command reality-altering wishes through the Genie. After Bill Turner restored the world to its original state and dismissed the Genie, the entity returned to the lamp, which remains dormant until summoned again. ============================================================ Legacy Virus Kind: item Page: Legacy Virus Formal name: Legacy Virus Other aliases: The Big L Type: Virus First appearance: X-Force Vol 1 18 Created by: Fabian Nicieza; Greg Capullo Reality: Earth-616 Additional designers: Mr. Sinister Previous owners: Stryfe; Mister Sinister Model: Unique Version: Unique Notes: The Legacy Virus is a Class X Pathogen. Trivia: The Legacy Virus storyline ran through various Marvel comics titles from 1993 to 2001.; Some fans have compared the Legacy Virus to early rumors of HIV and AIDS. Both affect the production of healthy cells, and were primarily felt by a minority group (LV mutants, HIV Homosexuals) and had early interest in research for a cure and government backing to aid in such an endeavor be slim, often associated with prejudice towards the inflicted minority group and the belief that as long as it primarily affected that group nothing would be done to stop it. Some even believed HIV was a government conspiracy.; Exiles #20 portrayed an alternate reality (Earth-8545) where the Legacy Virus had merged with Warlock, after his attempt to save Cypher from infection backfired. History: ===Origin & major infection===; The villain Stryfe gave Mister Sinister a canister that he claimed contained 2,000 years worth of genetic material from the Summers bloodline. When Gordon Lefferts, a scientist working for Sinister, opened the canister after Stryfe was apparently killed by Cable, they found nothing inside. Far worse than that, the canister actually contained a plague, Stryfe's "legacy" to the world.; When Colossus' sister Illyana fell ill and died, he left the X-Men and joined Magneto's Acolytes, but later returned. His teammate Beast developed a cure for the virus, but in order for it to be quickly dispersed, a mutant had to sacrifice himself. Colossus did not want any more people to suffer his sister's fate, so he injected himself with the Legacy cure and activated his mutant powers, transforming his body into organic steel. This supercharged the Legacy cure and simultaneously killed him and stopped the spread of the Legacy virus.; ===Kavita Rao's attempts & Colossus revival===; Failing to success, Kavita Rao, a colleague to McCoy, was visited a few weeks after Colossus' sacrifice by Ord, who revealed to have resurrected him using alien technology. He was then used as a test subject for an experimental formula that would reverse mutations, was eventually rescued by the X-Men.; ===Magneto's War===; Unfortunately, this rapid cure had unforeseen geopolitical effects. Thousands of Legacy-infected mutants and mutates had been quarantined on the island nation of Genosha, which was controlled by Magneto at the time. The instant cure gave Magneto a vast army overnight and allowed him to begin carrying out his plans for world conquest.; ===Singularity Investigations===; It was revealed that Singularity Investigations was creating a virus designed to kill mutants. While Jamie Madrox referred to this as the Legacy Virus, it is unclear whether Singularity is actually recreating Stryfe's virus or merely engineering a new one with a similar purpose.; ===Secret Invasion===; During the "Secret Invasion" storyline, Beast discovered that the Legacy Virus can infect Super-Skrulls that have X-Men-based powers. Cyclops decided to have the Legacy Virus placed on the outfits of the surrendering X-Men in order to infect the Skrulls. This worked and thwarted the Skrull's invasion of San Francisco.; ===Human Council===; Later, the Sapien League and the Leper Queen, under Bastion's control, infected Beautiful Dreamer, Fever Pitch, Boom-Boom, Hellion, and Surge with a new strain of the Legacy Virus and set them to explode, framing the mutant population as terrorists and leading to the creation of the Mutant Response Division (MRD). Only the two first finally blew up, killing thousands of humans before X-Force aborted the Sapien League's plan.; ==Description==; The Legacy Virus was actually a viroid and was released by Stryfe, a terrorist from approximately 2,000 years in the future. It originally existed in two forms, Legacy-1 and Legacy-2, but later mutated into a third form, Legacy-3; all were airborne agents.; Legacy-1 and Legacy-2 searched for a target organism's "X-factor", the sequence of mutant genes that gave a mutant their superpowers. If it did not find an activated X-factor in the target, the viroid would die off, leaving the person completely unaffected. If, however, it did detect the X-factor, it would begin inserting introns (junk DNA sequences) into the transcription codings of the victim's mutant RNA, the process commonly being triggered after the patient used their powers for the first time after contracting the disease. The result was a major compromise of the replication and transcription process so disruptive as to eventually render the body incapable of creating healthy cells, ultimately resulting in the death of the victim.; Legacy-1 attacked general transcription and replication of all cells, a messy and non-selective process that resulted in a condition akin to a fast-replicating cancer. This is the version that infected Illyana Rasputin, sister of Colossus. Legacy-2, however, was much closer to Stryfe's original template and more in tune to his desire to stir a species war between humans and mutants. Its attacks were selective, working only on the X-factor genes. The net result was that a victim would eventually lose control of his superhuman powers. In addition to developing at a far slower rate than Legacy-1, victims of Legacy-2 developed skin lesions, fever, cough and overall weakness (symptoms displayed by the telepathic X-Man Revanche). The slow nature of Legacy-2 is why St. John "Pyro" Allerdyce survived for years following his initial infection.; Legacy-3 was a complete fluke, accidentally created in the body of the mutant woman known as Infectia. Her powers allowed her to scan and visualize the genetic structure of a living being and then alter it according to her own whims; she was essentially a walking genetics laboratory. Infectia had herself been infected with the Legacy Virus, which her own powers tried to stave off. In doing so, they caused a replication error in the Legacy-2 viroid that was killing her. The viroid's conditioning-to not infect if no X-gene was found in the host-was stripped. When Henry McCoy opened Infectia's containment chamber in an act of compassion to allow her one final look at the night sky, he inadvertently released this new "free agent" strain. Legacy-3 was capable of infecting any living being that fit within the parameters of its general original template; that is, hominids only, not canines, felines, etc. Moira MacTaggert, long-time ally of the mutant X-Men and one of Earth's top geneticists, seemed to have been the first non-mutant human to be infected with Legacy-3. She passed on the data she had gathered to McCoy, before being killed by an explosion, at her research station on Muir Island, caused by the shapeshifting terrorist Mystique. Professor X did manage to telepathically retrieve the critical information before Moira died, and Beast was able to synthesize the cure a few weeks later. Though one that had a price; the virus had first been released by the death of the first victim, so the release of the cure would cause the same reaction. They vowed to keep working until a safer cure could be found. Colossus, whose little sister Illyana had succumbed to the Virus months before, could not abide by that decision and injected himself with the cure, sacrificing his life to save the world from the disease.; The Legacy Virus was based on a virus created by Apocalypse in the distant future, which was intended to kill the remaining non-mutants. At the time that this alternate version of Apocalypse was killed, the virus had not been perfected, and much like Legacy-3, it targeted all humans indiscriminately. As a result, this virus was never deployed, until Stryfe acquired it and altered it for his own purposes.; Mystique had also created (or commissioned the creation of) a strain of the Legacy viroid that only attacked non-mutant humans, leaving mutants completely untouched.; Stryfe would later return with a so-called Legacy 2.0 formula. This liquid was activated by high levels of radiation. If the liquid was inside a person (whether it be a mutant or a non-mutant), creature, or even a corpse when activated, Stryfe could then mentally dominate them with his telepathic abilities, though the control only extended within a certain range of his person, and was mentally taxing for him. Once activated, it could be transmitted through wounds inflicted by an infected body.; ==Infection list==; See the Legacy Virus Victims.; Absalom: Virtual immortality, ability to extend razor-sharp spines from his body.

Lead designer: Leonardo da Vinci, Pietro Perungino, Lorenzo di Credi Additional designers: S.H.I.E.L.D. Current owner: Nick Fury Previous owners: Machine Man (bonded with a LMD); Max Fury Material: Epidurium Properties: As androids, Life Model Decoys possess various capabilities:; Superhuman Strength: Life Model Decoys are superhumanly strong and possess strength beyond human limits.; Superhuman Speed: An average Life Model Decoy can run and move at speeds that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete.; Superhuman Durability: The construction of Life Model Decoys makes them very durable.; Superhuman Stamina: Life Model Decoys can exert themselves well beyond human limits.; Superhuman Agility: The agility, balance, and bodily coordination of Life Model Decoys are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.; Quick Repair: The nanites in their bodies give Life Model Decoys a form of self-repair that is similar to a Healing Factor.; Remote Control: A Life Model Decoy's owner can see through it, speak through it, and control everything that it does in the field.; Weapon Morphing: Life Model Decoys can transmogrify limbs into energized battlements for combat. Notes: Arguably, the most well-known LMD is/was Max Fury, who believed himself to be the real Nick Fury for some time before associating himself with the Shadow Council.; The original inventor of the LMDs was Tony Stark; The robots were once stated to have incorporated technology from the Gnobians, but that no longer works after many retcons. Trivia: In Marvel Super Heroes: What The--?! Episode 3, Nick Fury sent a less than helpful LMD of himself to assist the U.S. Agent, Howard the Duck, and Ch'od in stopping M.O.D.O.K. from pirating chick flicks. The LMD mocked David Hasselhoff, who had played Fury in one of his films, for being completely useless in the fight and, at one point in it, parodied the famous Internet video of Hasselhoff lying down on the ground, drunk and trying to eat a cheeseburger.; An assassination of a U.N. official by the Winter Soldier in 1959 left the leaders in Washington, D.C. feeling paranoid and was responsible for the research and production of the first LMDs. History: ===Origin===; The original LMD was created by the Brotherhood of the Shield's patriarch, Leonardo da Vinci, and his two assistants, Pietro Perungino and Lorenzo di Credi, in 1503. It replaced Leonardo da Vinci after he had travelled to the future, and no one else knew about it, not even the other members of the Brotherhood of the Shield.; In 1961, on a mission for Leonardo da Vinci, Nick Fury, his brother, Jake, and Thomas Davidson opened Leonardo da Vinci's tomb and discovered the decoy. The self-replicating technology from the Renaissance latched onto Davidson and Jake Fury, creating robotic duplicates of both of them. It would later be reverse-engineered into the modern LMDs.; ===Uses===; ====Nick Fury====; When Nick Fury was targeted for assassination by Hydra, they used LMDs as decoys. After he thwarted another attempt on his life, he was appointed director of S.H.I.E.L.D.; S.H.I.E.L.D. sent out a squad of Fury LMDs in the hope that they could be used to track down who was trying to kill Fury. The Druid's eggs destroyed the LMDs.; Dum Dum Dugan was shattered when he thought Fury was killed in a fire-bombing attack by A.I.M., only to discover that it was a LMD. Count Royale and his cohorts at A.I.M. were amazed at how advanced and convincing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s LMDs were, far more advanced than their own chemical androids, and were determined to steal one. A squad of A.I.M. agents broke into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s underground base to steal an LMD. They were stopped by Nick Fury, thus keeping the LMD technology a secret from them.; ====Dum Dum Dugan====; In August 1966 Dum Dum Dugan was gravely injured, and Nick Fury was forced to preserve his body's last glimmer of life in suspended animation. Deeply affected by the loss of his best friend, Fury decided to put into work some extremely advanced LMDs which had been retrofitted with alien technology to supersede Dugan's body.; The real Dugan's body was kept in an undisclosed location, from where his consciousness was beamed into a host LMD, and it would be transferred to any other spare unit each time that the previous one was destroyed. For decades, only Fury knew of Dugan's true fate, making Dugan believe that he had maintained his youth and vigor due to using the Infinity Formula, as Fury had done before.; ====Captain America====; S.H.I.E.L.D. enacted an intricate plan to convince Steve Rogers to become Captain America again. They saved his life using an LMD who was targeted by a sniper, and he agreed to resume his identity of Captain America.; China stole the plans for the LMDs from S.H.I.E.L.D. and used them for Operation: Replica. They used the plans to create an LMD of Captain America. It was sent to the U.S. to battle and replace Captain America, but it was easily defeated.; ====Tony Stark====; When Iron Man's true identity was discovered by the Mandarin, he used an LMD to fool his arch-enemy into thinking that he was someone else. He also wore a prosthetic mask so that, when the Mandarin unmasked him, he looked like another person. At the same time, he had the LMD call a press conference.; Madame Masque set off an explosion at Stark Industries, which unintentionally reactivated the LMD Stark. When Stark returned to Stark Industries, he found the LMD waiting for him in his office. It explained that it would make a better Tony Stark and Iron Man than he did, and having changed Stark's filed signature and fingerprints, had Stark thrown out as an impostor. With his identity stolen, Stark could not cash checks or buy clothes, and was even kicked out of Avengers Mansion by Jarvis when he could not supply the proper entrance code. He was chased by the police and then saved by Madame Masque. The LMD helped Nick Fury and Captain America subdue a Hydra base, convincing them both that it was the real Stark. Afterwards, it decided that it must kill the real Stark. Midas had Madame Masque prepare the "Impostor Stark" (who, unknown to him, was actually the real one) to infiltrate his own company and ordered her to kill him if things did not go well. That night, they infiltrated Stark Industries, but were quickly attacked by the waiting LMD; Stark protected Madame Masque and fought the LMD, who was now using the identity of Iron Man. Madame Masque attempted to kill Stark as ordered, but ultimately could not do it. The LMD, still acting as Iron Man, was distracted by two security guards, giving Stark time to don his original armor. The Avengers arrived just in time to see the LMD fall to its destruction in a smelting pot below.; Stark arranged for LMD Unit 6 to temporarily head Stark International. LMD Unit 6, believed by everyone to be the real Stark, prepared to provide technological support in case of Rigellian invasion via an alien egg.; ====Jarella====; When Jarella was removed from her homeworld of K'ai, they planned to use a LMD of Jarella and send it back to K'ai so that everything would be restored back to normal. The LMD was destroyed, though, so the original had to go back herself after all.; ====Thor====; When Don Blake was treating Captain America after an attack, Iron Man created a Thor LMD to take his place. However, the ruse was found out and the assassin learned Blake's alter ego of Thor.; ====Nightshade====; The criminal genius Nightshade was an expert in robotics and frequently used LMDs for various purposes, including ones designed in her own image.; ====Arcade====; Another villain with a special aptitude for engineering and robotics, Arcade has also frequently employed LMDs in his own likeness whenever he felt that his own life might be endangered by his own schemes.; ====Others====; In order to find out the limits of a new Thing Exoskeleton, Reed Richards had Ben Grimm beat up a specially prepared LMD. Ben easily knocked the robot's head off without any trouble or effort.; Captain America was attacked by an army of Red Skulls. He was able to defeat them by forcing the lead "Skull" to change back into Nick Fury and collapse. Cap told the real Fury that he had tricked the Red Skull: noticing that the captured Nick Fury was not sweating, he had realized that it was actually an LMD.; ====The Deltite====; The Deltite was an LMD created by the Nazi scientist Arnim Zola and based upon the mind of Baron Strucker. They had Jake Fury smuggle the LMD inside of S.H.I.E.L.D. to wreak havoc at a later date. The Deltite was completely unaware of its true origins, and believed that its actions were self-motivated.; ====Ultron====; LMDs were heavily used during Tony Stark's time as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Some of these LMDs were not given names and were instead stamped with a serial number or a bar code on their arms. A time-displaced version of the original android Human Torch came to believe the plight of the LMDs was similar to that of the Jews during World War II, especially after seeing them used as cannon fodder during a battle and referred to as prisoners. The LMDs acted as if they were inspired by him to enact a revolution when, in reality, they were in fact Ultron robots that were being controlled by the real Ultron, who wanted to feed on the Torch's blood in order to experience "life".; ====Jake Fury====; The LMD of Jake Fury would later go insane and become the terrorist known as Scorpio, while the LMD of Thomas Davidson would go undercover with Hydra as part of Nick Fury's decades-long plan to subvert the organization from within.; ====Maria Hill====; Maria Hill also employed LMDs during her time as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.; ====Deadpool====; Someone created a large number of Deadpool LMDs which attacked him, and were destroyed by both the real Deadpool and the Red Hulk, who came by to recruit Deadpool to join Code Red.; ====La Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine====; After La Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine allegedly died in a Russian gulag, an LMD of her was created.; ===Red Eyes===; A second type of LMD that are not yet designated for impersonation duty are called "Red Eyes" and used for high-risk operations.; ===Livewires===; The Livewires' technology is largely based on that of LMDs.; ===Rebecca Ryker===; Deathlocket managed to commandeer the onboard LMDs of a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier that she had taken command of while working with the Young Masters, even giving them, or unlocking, extra features in their bionic chassis. ============================================================ Lifeline Tablet Kind: item Page: Lifeline Tablet Formal name: Lifeline Tablet Other aliases: Tablet of Life and Time Type: Unique Magical Book First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 68 Created by: Stan Lee; John Romita Sr.; Jim Mooney Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Atlantean; Tablet written by unidentified Homo mermani during the Hyborian Age Properties: On the Tablet was a biochemical formula for a serum, the so-called Lifeline Formula which could rejuvenate, heal, and grant its user the chance to reach the full evolutionary potential of its race. This turned the user into an immortal and near-omnipotent being. Though the Tablet's healing effects were permanent, the additional powers that it granted were only temporary, as most people were not prepared to use these powers properly. Whether this protective element was applicable only for worthy users of the Tablet remains unrevealed. Trivia: The Tablet of Life and Time is the sister artifact of the Tablet of Death and Entropy. History: ===Origin===; The Lifeline Tablet was written by unidentified Homo mermani during the Hyborian Age.; ===The Modern Age===; A fragment of the Tablet caused Silvermane to regress in age beyond birth, but only temporarily.; The Tablet was later used in its complete version by both Hammerhead (in order to cure his ailing sister) and the Lizard. ============================================================ Lifestone (Meteor) Kind: item Page: Lifestone (Meteor) Formal name: Lifestone Type: Stone First appearance: Godzilla Vol 1 4 Created by: Doug Moench; Herb Trimpe Place of creation: Outer space Previous owners: Doctor Demonicus; Elton Morrow; Pacific Overlords Model: Unique Version: Unique History: The Lifestone was a small, yellow piece of meteor rock discovered by Doctor Douglas Birely, found inside a dormant volcano in the Aleutian Islands. Radiation produced by the Lifestone caused severe biological mutation and was instrumental in transforming Birely into the super-villain Doctor Demonicus. Demonicus used the Lifestone's power to create powerful, monstrous entities such as the bat-winged Batragon. ============================================================ Living Talisman (Magical Weapon) Kind: item Page: Living Talisman (Magical Weapon) Formal name: Living Talismans Type: Artifact First appearance: Thor Vol 1 143 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Forsung; Magnir; Brona; Enrakt History: Each of the Enchanters wore a stone face-like plaque on their chests; each was referred to as a Living Talisman, which could speak and act on their own (when directed to by the Enchanters) and enhanced the Enchanters' powers, enabling them to absorb energy, etc. Each Living Talisman could manifest itself as an elemental storm or as an imposing humanoid creature, as strong as an Asgardian god. All four Living Talismans were presumably destroyed: Odin crushed Forsung's and Brona's, Enrakt's was apparently destroyed in battle with Thor, and Magnir's vanished. ============================================================ Living Mask Kind: item Page: Living Mask Formal name: Living Mask Type: Mask First appearance: Thor Vol 1 179 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Previous owners: Loki History: The Living Mask is a mystical mask that transforms the two wearer's physical identities, essentially switching their bodies, as well as any abilities they possess. ============================================================ Living Rock Kind: item Page: Living Rock Formal name: Living Rock Other aliases: The Living Stone Type: Structure First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 5 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Lava Men History: Some sort of "atomic upheaval" within the Earth caused a powerful explosion on the outskirts of Subterranea. Investigating, the Lava Men, found a small rock, which in the process of investigation released a powerful sonic blast that destroyed an island in the Pacific Ocean. The fragment gradually continued to grow, causing periodic devastation. The Lava Men name it the Living Rock.; Based on the recommendations of the witch doctor Jinku, Basallo (king of the Lava Men) had them build a machine to push the the Living Rock to the surface of the Earth, where it would destroy the people of the surface world, leaving the Lava Men unharmed. They did so and the Living Rock erupted through the surface of the American Southwest. The destruction caused by the sonic vibrations released by the Rock attracted the attention of the Avengers, as well as the US Air Force, including Gen. "Thunderbolt" Ross and civilian scientist Dr. Bruce Banner. Giant-Man, at ant-size, examined the surface of the Rock in detail and found a small spot that, if struck with sufficient force, would destroy the Rock without causing outward destruction. They planned to have Thor strike the spot, but he was reverted back to human form by Jinku. However, the Hulk soon arrived on the scene, and the other Avengers goaded him into striking that exact spot, and the Living Rock was apparently destroyed.; Grotesk located the Lava Men, who were nearly decimated by the death of their god, Cha'sa'dra. He somehow restored their intelligence and power of speech to several of them, including Basallo. Together, they located the inert remnant of the Living Rock, causing it to begin growing anew. They rebuilt their machine and pushed it towards the surface of Manhattan, New York City.; The Living Rock erupted through the surface of Manhattan, attracting the attention of Thor. Thor found that its previous spot of weakness had relocated itself. Eventually, he was joined by his allies at the time, the Godpack, who assisted him against Grotesk and the Lava Men. Riger, one of the members of the Godpack, managed to relocate the weak spot in the Living Rock, and Thor hurled Grotesk into that spot, causing it to implode. The Rock shrunk to the point that it vanished from sight.; ==Properties==; The Living Rock grows larger and larger, releasing powerful shock-waves (or sound-waves) as it does so. Eventually it would reach critical mass and explode, allegedly with enough force to devastate the entire surface world. When struck, it releases devastating bursts of concussive force, which are more powerful the larger the Rock is. It retains one small location, only inches in diameter, at which it can be struck to cause it to implode. After imploding, it is still possible for a tiny remnant to remain inert and to be reactivated by other means, allowing it to begin growing once again. ============================================================ Lifestone Tree Kind: item Page: Lifestone Tree Formal name: Lifestone Tree Type: Tree First appearance: Thunderbolts Vol 1 46 Created by: Fabian Nicieza; Mark Bagley Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Chosen Eight of Fate Notes: When the Kree Supreme Intelligence and I.S.A.A.C. revealed that at least eight Terrans had gained powers by possessing various Lifestone fragments, only three of those stones were mentioned by name. However, the names of most of the other stones are known anyway:; The Alpha Stone and the Omega Stone empowered Basil Elks and transformed him into the Basilisk.; The Moonstone empowered Lloyd Bloch until Karla Sofen stole it from him.; The Bloodgem empowered the prehistoric hunter later known as Ulysses Bloodstone.; An enormous diamond that glowed with a strange blue light gave Elton Morrow his powers as the Blue Diamond.; The Godstone that John Jameson III found on the Moon transformed him into the Man-Wolf when on Earth and Stargod when in the Other Realm where the gem supposedly originated.; The Ka Stone that Anath-Na Mut found in a temple in ancient Egypt turned him into the Sphinx.; The Power Prism was a Skrull prisoner who had been transformed into crystalline form before being brought to Earth by the Grandmaster to be used by Kinji Obatu as Doctor Spectrum.; It's worth noting that at least three of these stones (the Bloodgem, the Godstone and the Power Prism) have origins that seem inconsistent with the idea that they are slivers of gems from the Lifestone Tree. Although various Official Handbook profiles have provided some explanations, so far none of those explanations have appeared in any published stories.; The Lifestone Tree concept may be connected to Darkhawk, the Fraternity of Raptors, and the Tree of Shadows. During a battle with another version of himself, the Sphinx summoned Moonstone, Basilisk, Ulysses Bloodstone, Starwolf, and Gyre, a member of the Fraternity of Raptors. With the exception of Gyre, the Sphinx and the ones he summoned were all known to be powered by fragments from the Lifestone Tree.; It was originally claimed that the Lifestone Tree was created as a collaboration between several alien species for the benefit of the galaxy. This is seemingly inconsistent with the creation of the Fraternity of Raptors, which were said to be created to ensure the supremacy of the Shi'ar Empire. History: Thousands of years ago, a coalition of alien races joined together to create the Lifestone Tree in the hopes of creating a group of super beings to protect their interests. The Lifestone Tree was comprised of artifacts left over from the Big Bang that various species had collected and brought together on the planet Kree-Lar. Among these objects could've been the remains of Xorr the God-Jewel which had been transported through space and time. Four species known to be involved were the Kree, the Skrulls, the Shi'ar, and the Badoon, but presumably at least four other races participated. The eight beings who were empowered were nicknamed the Guardians of the Galaxy but this would seem to be a bit of a misnomer as the Badoon occupy the Milky Way Galaxy, the Kree occupy the Magellanic Clouds, the Skrulls occupy the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Shi'ar occupy another unnamed galaxy.; It is known that four of the Chosen Eight died in battle, two others died of old age, one retired, and the fate of the eighth is unknown. With the Chosen Eight inactive, the intergalactic peace between the alien species fell apart. The Lifestones were evacuated from Kree-Lar to prevent them from being stolen by space pirates, but the ship carrying them was attacked, causing its warp drive to implode and create a fissure in space. The ravaged ship and the shattered stones entered this fissure and were scattered throughout the galaxy. Due to a spatial anomaly that opened on the fringes of Earth's Solar System, many fragments of the Lifestone Tree fell to Earth and empowered a number of beings including the Sphinx, Moonstone, Basilisk, Blue Diamond, Ulysses Bloodstone, Man-Wolf, and Dr. Spectrum.; The Thunderbolt known as Moonstone would seek out the origins of the Lifestone Tree after she began to receive memories from Ajes'ha, the Kree member of the Chosen Eight. Ajes'ha was the original wielder of the Moonstone and the memories of previous owners appear to be recorded by the moonstone. I.S.A.A.C. eventually helped Karla Sofen purge herself of Ajes'ha's influence. It was later implied that Karla Sofen's predecessor Lloyd Bloch and his Counter-Earth counterpart were driven insane by their Moonstones, although not necessarily due to Ajes'ha's influence. ============================================================ Living Statue Kind: item Page: Living Statue Formal name: Living Statue Type: Idol First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 10 Created by: Archie Goodwin; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Mandarin Current owner: Mandarin History: Turning the force beam of one of his rings, the Mandarin activated two of these statues of specially prepared stone into pulsing, throbbing, deadly life and employed them against Iron Man, who easily shattered these warriors of marble. ============================================================ Lightning Simulator Kind: item Page: Lightning Simulator Formal name: Lightning Simulator Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 17 Created by: Archie Goodwin; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Midas History: The Lightning Simulator was used by Midas' henchmen against Iron Man, to make his killing seem like an accident. Despite being hit by such a tremendous force, Iron Man survived thanks to his armor. ============================================================ Levant Rubric Kind: item Page: Levant Rubric Formal name: Levant Rubric Type: Magical Book First appearance: Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 68 Created by: Dan Abnett; Melvin Rubi Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Manhattan, New York City, New York Previous owners: Mr. Azopardi History: Composed by Darius of Persia's pet necromancer some 2,000 years prior, and is reputed to contain the methods of creating a magickal servitor. This item was of particular interest to Vincent Stevens as a possibly way to make his existence permanent, until it was destroyed in a tantrum thrown by Strange. ============================================================ Leviathan (Robot) Kind: item Page: Leviathan (Robot) Formal name: Leviathan Type: Robot; Technology First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 218 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Place of destruction: Underwater near the Titanic Previous owners: KGB History: The Leviathan was a remotely-controlled robot created by KGB. It was destroyed by Iron Man near the shipwrecked Titanic. ============================================================ Life Seed Kind: item Page: Life Seed Formal name: Life Seed Type: Technology First appearance: Uncanny X-Force Vol 1 10 Created by: Rick Remender; Billy Tan; Rich Elson Origin: Celestial Lead designer: Celestials Current owner: X-Man Previous owners: Celestial Gardeners; Apocalypse Twins; Archangel Properties: Wolverine & the X-Men Vol 1 20; Life Seeds are artifacts of Celestial design, created as one string of a number of cosmic relics forged by the Celestials. They are carried by the Celestial Gardeners to be used to plant life on new worlds according to their scheme. This process will deplete it, however, though its energy can be used in small doses, as seen with Tabula Rasa.; Life Seeds can be used to break the influence of the Death Seeds by implanting it into the infected person. However, in the only example seen, the Life Seed destroyed both Warren's original and Archangel personas, and regrew him with a completely new persona. Additionally, it gave him new abilities, such as resurrection (he revived a recently-deceased dog), energy blasts, energy swords, and just general overall enhancements. Beast speculated that Warren would die if he used up the Seed's power, but this is not proven.; Life Seeds can bring the dead back to life. The Apocalypse Twins utilized them to revive a group of deceased mutants and superhumans to serve as their Horsemen. The Seed itself is not required as Dark Beast was capable of reviving dozens of dead mutants with just some residue energy from a Seed.; Life Seeds can also amplify and restore powers, as demonstrated with X-Man after his powers had been nearly depleted by the Omega Machine. With a Life Seed, Nate displayed feats such as turning an oil rig into a jungle and turned many powerful mutants into Horsemen of Salvation. Most impressively, the Life Seed combined with X-Man's energies created an entirely new plane of existence, the Age of X-Man. Nate was so powerful with the Life Seed that Legion considered putting him on a level above Omega. Notes: Given that the newly ascended Archangel was called the Master of the Seven Seeds, there is the possibility there are more.; Rick Remender revealed later in an interview that there are also seeds for the Pestilence, Famine and War personas.; Celestial Gardeners can carry more than one Life Seed at a time.; Celestials also have capsules called "Life-Seeds," but they are unrelated.; Nate Grey implies that the Life Seed has a will of its own, saying that it came to him and it would not let him die. This aligns with what is said about the Death Seed. History: ===Celestial Gardeners===; Life Seeds are created by Celestial Gardeners every few thousand years, who plant them on barren planets.; ===Dark Angel Saga===; Following Apocalypse's death, the malicious "Archangel" persona of Warren Worthington, born from a Death Seed, began to ascend as Apocalypse's heir. To cleanse Warren of the Death Seed's influence, Dark Beast suggested to go to the Age of Apocalypse to retrieve a Life Seed he had stashed there. However, due to a misunderstanding with the local X-Men, the Life Seed was destroyed and Dark Beast retreated back to Earth-616, stranding the X-Force in the Age of Apocalypse. The X-Men retrieved a second Life Seed from a fallen Celestial Gardener; instead of using it on their own Apocalypse heir Weapon Omega, they gave it to the X-Force for Archangel and sent them back home.; Archangel and Dark Beast had been working together and stole the Life Seed as soon as the X-Force returned. Because M-Day had interferred with the planet's natural evolution, Archangel intended on using the Life Seed to restart evolution by wiping out the current world and growing a new one from scratch. As a test run, they destroyed a town in Montana and created Tabula Rasa. Archangel's plans were ultimately foiled and he was stabbed by the Life Seed by Psylocke, which purged the Archangel persona but also Warren's original self.; ===Age of Apocalypse===; Back in the Age of Apocalypse, Dark Beast was able to conserve a limited amount of energy from the Seed he had before it got destroyed. He used it to revive multiple deceased mutants, such as Cyclops.; ===Apocalypse Twins===; Archangel's heirs, the Apocalypse Twins, used Life Seeds to resurrect the Sentry, Banshee, Grim Reaper, and Daken. The Twins then used Death Seeds on them to turn them into the Four Horsemen of Death.; ===X-Men Disassembled & Age of X-Man===; After X-Man had been severely depowered by the Omega Machine, he used a Life Seed to restore his powers and increased them to greater heights than ever before, but he was once again dying. He used his godlike powers to form the Horsemen of Salvation and attempted to make the world perfect. The X-Men resisted and X-Man was forced to battle them.; The Life Seed would not let X-Man nor the X-Men die, so it merged with X-Man and created the Age of X-Man plane, a mutant-only paradise. X-Man tried to wipe the X-Men's memories so they could live out their days in his utopia, but their memories eventually returned. When confronted again by the X-Men, they convinced X-Man to end the Age of X-Man and he offered them the Life Seed to do it, but he warned them that it would also end him and all life there. In the end, he sent everyone back home and he remained in the Age of X-Man with the Life Seed. ============================================================ Livemen (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Livemen Formal name: Livemen Type: Robot First appearance: Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 36 Created by: Mike Carey; Pasqual Ferry Reality: Earth-1610 Place of creation: Planet Acheron Current owner: Endless Resurgence History: Humanoid robots used as soldiers on the various planets of the Endless Resurgence empire. ============================================================ Level 10 Power-Nullifier Kind: item Page: Level 10 Power-Nullifier Formal name: Level 10 Power-Nullifier Type: Technology First appearance: Wolverine Vol 3 47 Created by: Marc Guggenheim; Humberto Ramos Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Power-Nullifier used to subdue metahumans Previous owners: S.H.I.E.L.D. History: This Level 10 Power Nullifier was used by S.H.I.E.L.D. to restrain Wolverine after he attacked Damage Control.; The device was ineffective in stopping Wolverine as his claws weren't considered a "power," and he was consequently able to pop them through his restraints. It was thought able to nullify his healing factor, putting Wolverine in an awkward situation after he escaped from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, falling from a significant height. He was seemingly able to take it off in time. ============================================================ Legion Anti-Grav Ring (Earth-12772) Kind: item Page: Legion Anti-Grav Ring Formal name: Legion Anti-Grav Ring Type: Ring First appearance: Spider-Boy Team-Up Vol 1 1 Created by: Roger Stern; Karl Kesel; Jose Ladronn Reality: Earth-12772 Current owner: Legion of Galactic Guardians 2099; Pete Ross (Past) Properties: Gravitational Flight Notes: The ring is based on the Flight Ring used by DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes.

The leaping coils allowed him to reach a height of 6 stories per jump. The boots' power source is worn on his back like a back pack. Additionally, internal padding of the suit enables Frog-Man to bounce off objects with little danger. Calling himself Leap Frog, Patilio was defeated in both attempts at a criminal career by the hero Daredevil.; ===Frog-Man===; Eugene Patilio decided to don one of his father's costumes and use it to become a costumed crime fighter.; ===Skrull===; A Skrull posing as Eugene Patilio joined the 50-States Initiative. He became a member of the Action Pack in Kentucky. During the Secret Invasion, "Frog-Man" revealed his true nature and turned on his teammates before being killed. ============================================================ Lifebringer One (Item) Kind: item Page: Lifebringer One (Item) Formal name: Lifebringer One Other aliases: Incubator; Incuba-Cell Type: Technology First appearance: Thor Vol 1 162 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Galactus Previous owners: Galactus History: The Incubator was a machine created from the remnants of Galan's ship, and incubated him for eons until he was awakened as Galactus. At some point billions of years in the past, the Incubator crashed into the young Ego the Living Planet, embedding itself in his core and beginning to drain his cosmic energy, but it was removed by the time-displaced Silver Surfer. The Silver Surfer sought to change history by destroying the Lifebringer One and ending Galactus' reign of terror before it began, but was stopped by Uatu the Watcher and instead set it on a path to Archeopia.; Upon arriving at Archeopia, Galactus emerged and consumed the planet, the Incubator escaping the lessened gravity. Drifting through space, it fell to Moroder-9 and its power was used by a warlorld. Spectrum and Ms. America of the Ultimates tracked down the Incubator, and brought it to Taa II, Galactus' ship. The devourer of worlds was trapped into the chamber against his will by the rest of the Ultimates, and using Neutronium, the process of the Incubator was accelerated.; When Galactus emerged once again anew from the machine, he had become the opposite of his previous nature, and was now a lifebringer. ============================================================ Leonardo da Vinci's Armor Kind: item Page: Leonardo da Vinci's Armor Other aliases: Leonardo da Vinci's Armor Type: Armor First appearance: S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 1 1 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Dustin Weaver Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Leonardo da Vinci Place of creation: Florence, Italy Current owner: Isaac Newton Previous owners: Leonardo da Vinci History: After Leonardo da Vinci discovered an anomaly inside the Sun, he built a suit capable of both space and time travel to investigate it. He left in 1503 and arrived at the Immortal City in 1956. When he flew to the Sun, he found the Celestial Madonna giving birth to the Star Child.; Later, Sir Isaac Newton stole Leonardo's suit in order to time travel to the year 2060. ============================================================ Lizard Virus (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Lizard Virus Formal name: Lizard Virus Type: Virus First appearance: Ultimate Spider-Man (animated series) Season 4 5 Created by: Jae Woo Kim; Paul Giacoppo Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Lizard / Doctor Curt Connors Additional designers: Doctor Octopus (Otto Octavius) Place of destruction: Manhattan, New York City, New York Dimensions: Microscopic Weight: Unknown Model: 1 Version: 1 History: ===Composition===; After Dr. Curt Connors using the Connors Formula was turned back into the Lizard and began infecting everyone he could sink his teeth into.

The prisoner was kept within a transparent liquid so that he or she could not use any power. The prisoner was provided a mask with a tube to give him oxygen. The Prison did not prevent the prisoner from seeing outside the glass walls or from speaking.; Doom once used the dampener on a bound Human Torch. He had also captured her teammates of the Fantastic Four, placing it on a specialized cage - The Invisible Girl in a Power Dampener and the Thing on a Power Compressor while Mr. Fantastic went on a dangerous mission for Doom's purposes. Doom meanwhile explained the Invisible Girl and his other hostages his plot to abdicate in favour of his supposed son, commemorating the event with a statue of himself for the United Nations. While he went on, he and the Fantastic Four could see through a monitor how Mr. Fantastic fell to his supposed death; and not even the shock of her husband's death was enough for the Invisible Girl to overcome the restriction of the dampener.; Doom later replaced the Torch's Liquid Prison with an Electronic Shackle to take him to a Power Transference Machine. ============================================================ Lobster Man: The Movie Kind: item Page: Lobster Man: The Movie Formal name: Lobster-Man: The Movie First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 43 Created by: J.

While he gave them to his loyalists, Janus Tepes was given one of them by Alyssa of the Siren Sect to enable him to escape his execution-by-sunlight in case Xarus' coup against Dracula's old guard of vampires was not the right way to operate. The pendant seems to be capable of use even if touching through some layers of clothing, but lose effectiveness if not in contact at all. The pendant itself was approximately the size of a hubcap.; The pendants were capable of being destroyed with a single gunshot, as demonstrated by Deadpool. Furthermore, as they were metallic, the pendants could be taken away with a sufficiently strong magnet.; After joining Xarus' vampires, Jubilee took to wearing one of the pendants at all times, until his fall to the resurrected Dracula. She kept a lightbender with her, with some limitations, forcing her to be in the shade at times, and wore it in its pendant form after rejoining the X-Men until it was torn off, breaking its chain, by an Emplate-possessed Monet St. Croix in an attempt to kill her with sunlight.; Even after the fall of Xarus, vampires continued to wear the amulets in a variety of sects.

Designed to generate and manipulate vast quantities of artificial lightning, the device was central to the Legion's plans for technological revolution and political upheaval.; ===Hulk===; While travelling through the American Southwest, the Hulk accidentally collided with a Legion aircraft, causing it to crash. He rescued the unconscious pilot and leapt with him to the Legion's hidden mountain base. There, the Hulk encountered the Lightning Machine, but was suddenly attacked by its artificial lightning. Overpowered, he was restrained until the revived pilot confirmed the Hulk had saved him. The Legion's leader, the Lightning Lord, released the Hulk and appealed to his need for acceptance. Persuaded, the Hulk joined the Legion and assisted in their construction efforts. After Colonel Glenn Talbot was captured while investigating the base, the Lightning Lord manipulated the Hulk into attacking a nearby U.S. Army missile facility. As the Hulk battled the defenders, the Legion seized the base and imprisoned Betty Ross. When the Lightning Lord ordered the Hulk to kill her, he turned on the Legion. Weakened by lightning blasts, the Hulk reverted to Banner, but Talbot restored communications and freed him. With reinforcements arriving, the Lightning Lord fled.

Using his father's equipment, he reactivated the Lightning Machine, but the resulting surge transformed Miguel into a being of sentient electrical energy. He adopted the name Living Lightning. Upon learning of Miguel's existence, Dr. Denham sought to replicate the process and create a new Legion of empowered beings. When Miguel refused to cooperate, Denham resorted to force, even abducting Miguel's mother.

Lead designer: Demiurge-To-Come Place of creation: The World Current owner: Shi'ar Empire; Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda (shard) Previous owners: Wrath Model: Unique Properties: Known as the "Nexus of All Realities," the M'kraan Crystal allows one to travel to other realities of the Multiverse. Even shards of the crystal have this property; for example, Nate Grey, Holocaust, Sugar Man, and others were transported from the Age of Apocalypse (Earth-295) to Earth-616 with a shard of the M'kraan Crystal. Additionally, the crystal enables time travel. A shard of the crystal powers the reality-hopping Tallus, and the crystal can even transport people to the Panoptichron, a location outside of space and time.; Since the M'kraan Crystal simultaneously exists in all realities, if the crystal is shattered in one reality, it would affect other realities and start a chain reaction could potentially wipe out the entire Multiverse.; The crystal also has restorative properties. The M'kraan Crystal restored Charles Xavier's X-Gene after he had been depowered by Wanda Maximoff. Notes: "M'kraan" has been pronounced in different ways:; X-Men: The Animated Series pronounces it as EM-kron.; Marvel: Avengers Alliance pronounces it as ma-KRAN.; In one account, the previous Multiverse ended when the previous M'kraan Crystal was destroyed. However, this is one of many accounts and is currently considered outdated. History: ===Origin===; The M'kraan Crystal was a huge pink crystal of unknown origins, which was older than known history. Shi'ar had multiple legends about the Crystal.; According to the Shi'ar epic heretical tractate "The Violet Raptor," the word M'kraan means "That which endures — That which is" and the Crystal was created by someone as the foundation stone of reality and the rules of time, space and magic were carved into it. The power behind the Crystal was opposed by a force of chaos and destruction known as the Gorath. M'Kraan — manifestation of the M'kraan Crystal — referred to both Billy and Tommy Maximoff as her fathers and helped them to reincarnate into Wiccan and Speed who were destined to become Demiurge-To-Come.; According to another legend, the homeworld of the M'kraan Crystal was the first planet to form and was as old as time. Whatever race lived there was long gone and the only structure that withstood the ravages of time was the M'kraan Crystal. It is said its creators named the Crystal "the end of all that is." Since its discovery the planet remained under Shi'ar protection. However, in the modern times it was revealed that in truth, the race that previously inhabited the planet where the Crystal resided, the "M'kraan" (Scy'ar Tal), had been exterminated by the Shi'ar who destroyed their planet and took the Crystal as their own. The Shi'ar fabricated the legend which said that on the wedding day of the Shi'ar gods, K'ythri gifted the Crystal to his soon to be wife Sharra.; ===Internal Structure===; Inside of the crystal there was a beautiful alien city, that outstretched, by far, the "logical" volume that should have been allowable. Also there was no movement, as time and space had no meaning here. At the center of the city was a glowing energy sphere, which hosted a neutron galaxy. The sun of this neutron galaxy was a nexus point of all matter and antimatter of not only the universe, but all the different realities in existence. The crystal also housed the White Hot Room.; Should the Crystal's stasis fields be destroyed, the gravitational forces would extend into the universe, drawing all of it into a black hole, causing the universe to collapse. After that, it explodes into a new, virgin universe. Every million years, when nine galaxies, seen as mere stars from the homeworld, enter a certain alignment, the Crystal would open a gateway to what legend said was absolute power. For this reason, the crystal was guarded by powerful beings named Jahf and Modt.; ===Modern Days===; Emperor D'ken of the Shi'ar Empire attempted to use the legendary power of the M'kraan Crystal. His sister Lilandra, rightly believing such an attempt would destroy the universe, enlisted the aid of the X-Men to stop his plan. With the help of the Starjammers, D'ken was defeated. The X-Men entered the crystal but were affected by its nightmare field. Cyclops accidentally damaged it, but the Crystal was repaired by the power of the Phoenix Force (who had taken the form and persona of Jean Grey) and the universe was saved.; A fragment of the crystal was sent back in time by Iron Lad to keep it away from Kristoff Vernard. It was sent to Nate's Young Avengers cohorts, briefly destabilizing time as it passed from member to member. It later fell into the possession of the Avengers Academy, which led to the creation of M'kraan.; As part of their plan to take over the Nexuses of Realities, the Reckoning attempted to steal the Crystal along with the Forever Gate and the Apex of All Reality. Rapture, and Reject lead the Morani in fighting the Imperial Guard to steal the Crystal. Despite the intervention of Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, She-Hulk, and Jack of Hearts, the Reckoning defeated the heroes before taking the M'kraan Crystal. Wrath used the Crystal's shards for his armor to further empower himself in order to attack Planet T-37X, homeworld of the Watchers, and finally claim the Apex.; Upon arriving to the planet, Wrath used the shards to release the toxic gas from the Barrens as a reminder of the Prosilicans' suffering as a result of the Watchers. Wrath was eventually erased from reality by the Ultimate Nullifier, causing the M'kraan Crystal to become unstable and self-destruct. The Human Torch and the Silver Surfer attempted to carry the shards to Destruction, but after Uatu was imbued with the cosmic energies of the Apex he restored the Crystal while trapping Rapture, Ruins, and Emnu, the Watcher responsible for the destruction of the Prosilicans, inside it. The powerful alien Cormorant would join Modt and Jahf in protecting the Crystal. ============================================================ Macro System Kind: item Page: Macro System Formal name: Macro System Other aliases: Macro-Men Type: Robot First appearance: Alpha Flight Vol 1 26 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Canada Current owner: Canadian Air Force History: The Macro System is a set of five semi-independent automatons that can form together to make one giant robot.

He realized he would need protection from psychic beings like his old friend Professor Charles Xavier.; He designed the helmet with circuitry that along with magnetic powers allow him control people's mind but Charles blocked it. When Magneto became reformed he tried to use the helmet again as Charles was no longer around. He hoped to wipe away hatred and prejudice from the human race. He used the helmet to stop the X-Men and the Avengers battling when they were both hunting for him to bring him to justice.

It was sold on the "X-Change" website for $500.00 USD (with $19.00 USD shipping) to the Children of the Atom. They used these pieces in their helmets to protect their minds from psychic attacks.; Wolverine used Magneto's helmet against a psychic mutant known as the Pale Girl. He got Magneto drunk enough to hit the floor and stole his helmet, along with all the mental defenses that come with it, in an effort to counter against her influence.; Magneto used the helmet against Tarn whose abilities to manipulate biology is psychokinetic in nature. He placed the helmet on his head and was able to block Tarn from using his powers. ============================================================ Magnetic Network Memory Co-ordinator Kind: item Page: Magnetic Network Memory Co-ordinator Formal name: Magnetic Network Memory Co-ordinator Type: Technology First appearance: Thor Vol 1 270 Created by: Len Wein; Walt Simonson Reality: Earth-616 ============================================================ Mace of the Myth-Wars Kind: item Page: Mace of the Myth-Wars Formal name: Mace of the Myth-Wars Type: Flail First appearance: Thor Vol 1 312 Created by: Doug Moench; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian Place of destruction: Midgard Previous owners: Tyr Odinson; Odin History: The Mace of the Myth-Wars was a weapon owned by Odin to defend Asgard in ancient times; afterward, the "sacred mace" was placed inside a shrine behind Odin's palace.; When a jealous Tyr wanted to bring Thor back home, he stole the mystic weapon so that he could face Mjolnir.

Using this item, Loki was also able to channel destructive energy blasts that could annihilate a man and cause catastrophic damage to an aircraft. A curved blade at the end of the weapon proved suitable for dealing slashing or impaling attacks. By touching this blade to a person's chest, over their heart, Loki could gain control of the victim, completely submerging their free will with his own directives. In the case of Tony Stark, this proved ineffective when the scepter was physically blocked by his arc reactor instead. Loki also used the scepter as a physical weapon when he fatally stabbed Agent Phil Coulson through the heart.; Dr. Selvig constructed a focus for the Tesseract energy in such a way that the scepter could be used to shut it down. While the energy shield surrounding the Tesseract was impenetrable, even to the power of Thor's Mjolnir, the scepter could be inserted through the field and used to trigger the shutdown.; After Loki's defeat, the Scepter was taken by S.H.I.E.L.D. and studied by Nicholas Cooper and Mark Smith at the S.H.I.E.L.D. S.T.A.T.I.O.N.; Mark Smith helped Baron Wolfgang von Strucker claim the Scepter, who performed experiments on it. A resurrected Coulson infiltrated Hydra's Arctic base to gain information on its location and passed it onto Maria Hill, instructing her to send in the Avengers.; After acquiring the Scepter from Strucker in a raid with his fellow Avengers, Tony Stark analysed the Scepter and determined it contained an advanced AI, which could be used to bring about his vision of a global peacekeeping program called Ultron. However, Ultron was an immediate failure, and the AI stole the Scepter and sought global domination. Thor subjected himself to a vision which clarified that the Scepter contained the Mind Stone, one of six Infinity Stones. Ultron used the Mind Stone to empower a perfect organic metal body for himself, known as Vision. In capturing the Vision, the Avengers reacquired the Mind Stone, and after Vision came to life with benevolent programming and Ultron was defeated, Thor opted to leave the Mind Stone in Vision's care, as Vision had demonstrated his good character by lifting Mjolnir.; clear ============================================================ M.O.D.O.K.'s Humanoid Body Kind: item Page: M.O.D.O.K.'s Humanoid Body Formal name: M.O.D.O.K.'s Humanoid Body Type: Technology First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 167 Created by: Mike Friedrich; Keith Pollard; Arvell Jones Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: A.I.M. Place of destruction: Mad Thinker's lair, Midwestern United States Current owner: M.O.D.O.K. History: After a failed battle with Namor the Sub-Mariner, M.O.D.O.K. deemed that he needed a strong body to house his amazing intellect and thus M.O.D.O.K.'s humanoid body was created. The body's chest was made of both steel and adamantium and its construction took 16 months and 108 A.I.M. scientists working on it, 23 of which worked on the right hand alone. The machine was designed to allow M.O.D.O.K.'s mutated body while still within his hoverchair to sit upon its shoulders and inside its head to pilot it and also allow him to enter and leave it as freely as he wished.; The first time M.O.D.O.K.'s humanoid body was used was to face the Hulk when the Hulk had witnessed it parked outside of Betty's rest care room in Long Island. M.O.D.O.K. entered the body and fought the Hulk, but soon learned that it was no match for him when the Hulk ripped off its left arm, smashed the right hand to pieces, and popped off the head, forcing M.O.D.O.K. to flee and leave the body behind.; The body was seemingly retrieved and repaired, as it was used again after M.O.D.O.K. accepted the Black Lama's offer to join in the latter's War of the Super-Villains. Iron Man, his mind controlled by another contestant, the Mad Thinker, attacked M.O.D.O.K.'s headquarters. Iron Man made the giant body fall and then threw a part of the lair on it, but the body withstood the damage. M.O.D.O.K. fought him from the body, trying to topple him, dog-fighting him in the sky using foot-rockets and shooting him with beams of energy from the body's left hand — as the right hand had been destroyed by Iron Man at the beginning of the fight. During the fight, Iron Man tactically tried to move away, but the Mad Thinker, monitoring the event, mistakenly believed that Iron Man was betraying him, and paralyzed his armor. This led to M.O.D.O.K. grabbing Iron Man and using him to track the Mad Thinker to his lair. Once there, M.O.D.O.K. defeated the Mad Thinker's Monster Android while the Mad Thinker grabbed Iron Man and hid, placing two copycat androids in his and Iron Man's places. M.O.D.O.K. destroyed the Mad Thinker android, believing that he had killed the real Mad Thinker. The Black Lama then sent M.O.D.O.K., still in his humanoid body, to the Chinese lair of another super-villain contestant, the Yellow Claw. Using the Iron Man android as a pawn, M.O.D.O.K. flanked the Claw, but the Claw escaped and M.O.D.O.K. collided with the Claw. The Claw then sent M.O.D.O.K.'s humanoid body to a great fall from the mountain, apparently destroying it; the Claw believed that he had killed M.O.D.O.K. in the process. ============================================================ Madbomb (Item) Kind: item Page: Madbomb (Item) Formal name: Madbomb Other aliases: Peanut; Dumpling; Big Daddy; Omega Type: Sonic Weapon First appearance: Captain America Vol 1 193 Created by: Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Mason Harding Place of creation: United States of America Place of destruction: Taurey Towers Building Current owner: Royalist Forces of America History: === Overview ===; After being fired from his job, scientist Mason Harding fell in with the Royalist Forces of America, and was convinced to design the Madbomb for them because he needed the money. The Madbomb was a sonic device which caused people to go insane when affected by it, making them run wild and attack each other. A Madbomb the size of a fingernail--"Peanut"-- could affect people in the same room; a Madbomb the size of a grenade--"Dumpling"-- could affect an entire city; the largest Madbomb, "Big Daddy," could have affected the entire continental United States.; === Brain Screams ===; A "Dumpling" Madbomb was set off in New York City, causing chaos throughout the city. Captain America managed to find it and smash it with his shield, returning everyone to normal. He and the Falcon then attended a briefing with Henry Kissinger, where they learned about the devastation brought to Miner's Junction by "Peanut" and to River City by "Dumpling", and were alerted to the threat of "Big Daddy".; Their hunt for the bomb was fruitless, as they were only able to find where it was constructed.; After Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D. had captured the compound where Harding's daughter was being held, Harding turned against the Royalist Forces, and used a miniature Madbomb to make the men guarding him shoot at each other. He then went to Captain America and the Falcon, offering them the means to be immune to the Madbomb's effects, and to help them stop "Big Daddy." Meanwhile, William Taurey gave word for "Big Daddy" to be activated.; The Falcon then journeyed to the Taurey Towers Building in Philadelphia, where "Big Daddy" was concealed within the top of the building. It had already been activated by the time he fought his way inside, but he pulled the device's lever to "maximum" level, causing it to explode.; Later scrapped, this Madbomb's dismantled components were stolen from their military custodians by La Tarantula and his accomplishes. They were stopped by Captain America.; === Later Uses ===; The Sons of the Serpent with the Assistance of Elite member Cheer Chadwick constructed a new Madbomb that was destroyed before it could be put to use. Like previous bombs people could be immunized to its effects.; In the aftermath of the Serpent's rampage, updated designs of previous Madbombs were seen, produced by Hydra scientists working for their new Queen, along with new version. These much larger and mobile "Omega" Mad-Bombs were crated by the Hydra forces to continually broadcast their effect into the television broadcasting networks. They were destroyed with the assistance of Iron Man. ============================================================ Magical Soccer Boots (Earth-61112) Kind: item Page: Magical Soccer Boots Other aliases: Magic Boots Type: Footwear First appearance: Avengers Assemble Vol 2 15AU Created by: Al Ewing; Butch Guice Reality: Earth-61112 Origin: Magical Current owner: Melanie Kapoor Model: Unique Properties: Superhuman Accuracy: Any kick at any distance with the boots will always hit its target (usually the back of the net).; Invulnerability: While dribbling, the wearer cannot be touched by anything.; Superhuman Reflexes and Superhuman Agility History: The origins of the magic boots are unknown.; When Melanie Kapoor received her magic boots, she was recruited to Braddock Academy and took on the name Magic Book Mel.; During the Ultron's invasion, Magic Boots Mel accompanied Captain Britain to assist Dr. Faiza Hussain care for injured civilians sheltering at the British Museum.

History: The "Magic Window" is a light-weight surveillance device developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians Jemma Simmons. It appears to be a wide, thin sheet of plastic that can be rolled and inserted into a tube.; The Window uses "S-band microwave antennae embedded in the sheet" that, when the sheet is unrolled and attached to a wall, allow the device to display people on the other side of the wall. The device functions in a similar manner to a "radar system." ============================================================ Loop Temporal Dislocation Harness Kind: item Page: Loop Temporal Dislocation Harness Formal name: Loop Temporal Dislocation Harness Type: Suit First appearance: Deadpool & Cable: Split Second Infinite Comic Vol 1 3 Created by: Fabian Nicieza; Reilly Brown Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Modified from the Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness by the Time Variance Authority in the year 2050. Lead designer: Time Variance Authority Place of creation: Manhattan, New York Current owner: Deadpool Previous owners: Loop; } Model: 2 Version: 1 History: This suit is an improved version of the Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness, which was initially conceptualized by Dr. Carl Weathers while working for Hydra, and perfected by Timetech in 2050.; When the Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness was damaged, Deadpool and Cable found themselves in the year 2050 where they were immediately attacked by a time-traveler wearing a different temporal suit and calling himself Loop.; During the time displacement, something happened to Cable and he was babbling incoherently, because a temporal cancer lesion had formed on his brain. This forced Wade to defend him, as Nate was apparently Loop's target for assassination. Eventually the NYPD arrived, and Loop fled.; Returning to the Timetech Facility, he ran into Deadpool yet again, and revealed himself to be none other than Wade Wilson. Dr. Carl Weathers, now the Temporal Adjudicator working for the Time Variance Authority, then recruited Deadpool to help cure the cancer within the timestream, giving him his own Loop Temporal Dislocation Harness, before sending them both back in time to save the universe by killing Cable.; The pair then jumped back and forth in time, between Earth-616 and Earth-4935, charged with fulfilling the Time Judge's orders of assassinating Nathan Dayspring, only to have Deadpool repeatedly save his life every time. Eventually Wade realized that it was Split Second, utilizing a repaired Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness, who was trying to kill Cable in all the timelines, so he anticipated where he'd attack from at the next attempt, then dropped in behind him, shooting Daryll in the back of the head with a Temporal Pulse Pistol.; Returning to the present day in Earth-616, Deadpool tased Split Second, preventing Darius' accidental death, and learning Split Second's true identity. Shortly thereafter Cable arrived and took Daryll back to 2050, seizing the Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness for himself. He then returned to Earth-4935, believing that he had to fulfill the Temporal Adjudicator's previous mission of killing himself across multiple timelines to remove the temporal cancer from his brain.; After Dr. Weathers fixed the Loop Temporal Dislocation Harness, Wade caught up to Nate, and convinced him that all he needed to do was embrace his multiplicity. Deadpool then linked the Loop Temporal Dislocation Harness to the Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness, boosting it's power and allowing Cable to unify himself across all timelines, thus curing his cancer. ============================================================ M-Pox Kind: item Page: M-Pox Formal name: M-Pox Other aliases: Terrigen Plague; Terrigen Poisoning; M-Pox Sickness Type: Disease First appearance: Avengers Vol 6 0 Created by: Gerry Duggan; Ryan Stegman Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Disease that afflicts mutants when in contact with high concentrations of the Terrigen Mist. Place of creation: Earth History: ===Origins===; The M-Pox is the name given to the condition that afflicts mutants upon entering in contact with excessive amounts of the Terrigen Mist, a substance better known for being the power source of the Inhumans.; When the villainous Thanos invaded the Earth looking for his bastard son Thane of Inhuman descent, the Inhuman king Black Bolt released massive amounts of Terrigen Mists into Earth's atmosphere through the activation of a Terrigen Bomb to empower every person on the face of the planet with Inhuman lineage. After spreading across the face of Earth, the Terrigen Mists settled in the form of two enormous clouds that roamed the planet, propelled by natural wind currents.; The molecular composition of the mists changed after being mixed with the atmosphere, turning the Terrigen Mists into a substance toxic for mutants. Because in the past mutants had been exposed to Terrigen Mists with no ill effects, for many months both mutant and Inhumankind were unaware of the negative effects the Terrigen Clouds until Cyclops and a group of X-Men heeded an emergency call from Muir Island, which had been struck by one of the clouds, and discovered its staff dead. With his final breaths, the agonizing Multiple Man informed Cyclops it was discovered the Mists were harmful, albeit too late for them.; Storm soon informed the Inhuman queen Medusa about this development, and the X-Man biophysicist Beast agreed to stay with the Inhumans in New Attilan in order to find a cure for this predicament. Almost immediately, Emma Frost divulged to the entire world that the Terrigen Mists were harmful to mutants.; Over the following months, millions of mutants began to fall ill to the M-Pox, endangering mutantkind as a species. Eleven crisis medical centers were established around the world to treat mutants that were suffering from M-Pox, including three in the United States. One of them located in Kansas City, Missouri; another in Seattle, Washington.; People around the world reacted differently to the presence of the M-Pox. Popular opinion believed the M-Pox to be contagious, which fueled the fires of anti-mutant hysteria, manifested in the form of protests and discrimination. In the worst of the cases, members of both the sick and healthy mutant population were prosecuted and massacred by fanatics. Places where these tragedies happened included India, Germany, and Colombia. The X-Men saw themselves forced to retreated to the extra-dimensional realm known as Limbo, creating X-Haven, a sanctuary for mutants from any part of the world. Numerous mutants retreated underground and joined the Morlocks to remain safe from the Terrigen Cloud, with some paranoid Humans following their steps, creating an unusual unification between those mutants and Humans that lived together in the Morlock Tunnels beneath Manhattan.; When Beast discovered that the Terrigen Cloud was weeks away from reaching a saturation point that would've caused it to be entirely assimilated into the atmosphere, making the Earth uninhabitable for mutants, he shared this information first with the X-Men. Believing that the Inhumans would refuse to destroy the cloud even at this moment, the different factions of the X-Men united to launch a coordinated attack on Inhuman key players in order to neutralize them long enough, trapping most of them in Limbo, to use a machine created by Forge to absorb and destroy the Terrigen. Two of the newest Inhumans, Iso and Inferno, managed to escape the assault on New Attilan and destroy Forge's machine, taking him hostage.; The two young Inhumans then called reinforcements in the form of other NuHumans, including Mosaic, who used his powers to infiltrate Muir Island and learn the X-Men's reason behind their attack, later reporting that to his peers, which prompted the NuHumans to join forces with Forge to come up with a new solution.; The NuHumans then travelled to Iceland, the latest location of the Terrigen Cloud, but were soon confronted by the X-Men, who had no idea of their plans. The royal Inhumans joined the brawl, having escaped from Limbo and regrouped. The battle was interrupted when Ennilux arrived, having provided Forge and Moon Girl with the resources to build the machine necessary to eliminate the Terrigen Cloud. Medusa was notified of what was at stake and given the trigger to activate the device. In spite of what the destruction of the Terrigen Cloud meant for Inhumans, Medusa activated the machine, destroying the Cloud and ending the threat of the M-Pox.; ===Description===; The prevalence of infection of the M-Pox is unknown, as it affects mutants to varying degrees. Some die upon immediate contact with Terrigen Mists, others succumb to the passage of time, and some fortunately seem to remain unaffected. Initial symptoms include coughing fits and dizziness. As the illness progresses, the victim develops boils, and their immune system becomes compromised. In the final stages before death, victims collapse, and ultimately bleed out. M-Pox also sterilizes its victims.; The progress of the M-Pox can be slowed down by chemical compounds, and people with healing powers; however, the Terrigen Mists creates a specific reaction unique to each X-Gene it enters into contact with, rendering it an impossible task to create a universal cure. Powerful healers like the resurrected Elixir could potentially rid a victim of M-Pox altogether, though at great cost to themselves and anyone in the surrounding area. Also, mutants with healing factors, like Logan, appear to be more resistant to the deleterious effects of the Terrigen Mists, as they will recover eventually.; ===Infection list===; See M-Pox Victims.; Multiple Man (Jamie Madrox) (deceased, later resurrected); Cyclops (Scott Summers) (deceased, later resurrected); Goldballs (Fabio Medina) (treated in time and seemingly cured); Alchemy (Thomas Jones) (deceased); Sunspot (Bobby Da Costa) (under treatment, later cured); Rogue (Anna Marie) (under treatment, later cured); Sapna (deceased, due to unrelated reasons); Dazzler (Alison Blaire) (later cured); Thor (Alison Blaire) (disappeared upon contact with the Terrigen Cloud); Lady Mastermind (Regan Wyngarde) (under treatment, later cured); Ronnie (under treatment); Lucid (Maya Jackson) (deceased) ============================================================ Maelstrom of Madness Kind: item Page: Maelstrom of Madness Formal name: Maelstrom of Madness Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 1 173 Created by: Roy Thomas; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Dormammu History: The Maelstrom of Madness is a spell that summons a deadly tempest that will only effect its target. ============================================================ Majesdanian Restraints Kind: item Page: Majesdanian Restraints Type: Technology First appearance: Runaways Vol 2 15 Created by: Brian K.

History: Make-A-Match.Com was a dating app developed by Baintronics, Inc.. It claimed to make use of a "Matchmaker System™" to find a person's perfect date. In parallel, Baintronics used sophisticated robots to fulfill a user's relationship goals, programming subroutines to make them the perfect lover for the app's user. These robots' core programming was a hive mind taking orders from three higher artificial intelligences.; When Make-A-Match.Com proved successful for Stark Unlimited employee Andy Bhang, the app quickly gained traction, prompting the app's A.I.s to create the best matches for every employee. A week later, Baintronics' robots had managed to infiltrate the Stark Unlimited HQ, with each robot requesting a visitor pass.; Stark Unlimited's head of security Bethany Cabe eventually became suspicious of how perfect the dates of the company's employees were, prompting the head A.I.s to order the robots to blow their cover and try to rob whatever they could. Jim Rhodes and Cabe held them off until Iron Man and Wasp arrived to assist. The head A.I.s ordered the robots to use image inducers to copy the appearance of Stark Unlimited's staff to sneak out. However, having been involved in an incident involving image inducers, Bethany was prepared for that kind of action, and deployed a disruption field to force the robots into their true appearance. Cornered, the robots opened fire. After Andy Bhang analyzed the robots' patterns and noticed their behavior as a hive mind controlled by a higher intelligence, Tony Stark made a profile on Make-A-Match.Com. A sudden influx of countless requests from users all over caused the app's servers to overload, affecting the drone robots and causing them to freeze. Following the thwarting of her plans, Sunset Bain saw herself forced to shut down Make-A-Match.Com, though she blamed the attack on Stark Unlimited on a non-existent rogue A.I.. ============================================================ Lost Scrolls of Thoth Kind: item Page: Lost Scrolls of Thoth Formal name: 36,535 Lost Scolls of Thoth Other aliases: Lost Scolls of Thoth Type: Document First appearance: Marc Spector: Moon Knight Vol 1 59 Created by: Terry Kavanagh Reality: Earth-616 Notes: The relation, if any, between the Lost Scrolls of Thoth and the Book of Thoth is unknown.; If independent, the Lost Scrolls of Thoth were possibly inspired by the Book of Thoth. ============================================================ Magma-Rifle Kind: item Page: Magma-Rifle Formal name: Magma-Rifle Type: Firearm First appearance: She-Hulk Vol 2 3 Created by: Dan Slott Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull History: When the Thrust-Cycles failed to tear the She-Hulk apart, the Skrull commander ordered his men to use their magma-rifles on her.

It is artificial, extremely unstable, and barely holds itself together. Nevertheless, Wanda Maximoff says that its resistance to magic is greater than that of cold iron, orichalcum, and uru; her spells bend around it; it can pierce her defenses; and close proximity to a large amount of it dulls her powers. Notes: Real Mysterium is made of special particles called kirbons. It is unknown if this is true for low mysterium. Trivia: Darcy Lewis makes a reference to fool's gold when she learns that low mysterium is like real mysterium but not it. History: Low mysterium was created by the witch-slaying alchemist Hexfinder in order to kill Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, who had absorbed the true Darkhold. Hexfinder used the Philosopher's Staff to temporally transmute mock Mysterium near Lotkill, resulting in low mysterium "always" being there. Due to this fact, Jarnette Chase was able to possess a worry stone made of it and later handed it down to Wanda for investigation at the Emporium.; After Wanda's magical inquiry of the stone had failed, she requested the help of her sister Polaris and was told that the stone was an unstable ore similar to Mysterium but way less refined. Later, Wanda battled Scythia and was hurt by the stone; Scythia found more of it in a nearby cave and constructed a suit of armor, but Wanda was able to win by exploiting a large gap in the armor. Joseph, a clone of Wanda's father Magneto, arrived and studied the rock with Wanda, but it was a trick by Hexfinder. Using his magnetic powers, he reshaped the worry stone into a blade to cut off some of Wanda's fingers.

Anderson Sixty, Alec Eiffel, Liar, Iron Man, Rigellians, Abigail Burns Model: Unique Properties: Matter-Rearranger Ring, aka Remaker (worn in the right thumb): This Ring allows the Mandarin to manipulate the atomic and molecular structures of matter. However, it cannot transmute elements or affect objects encased in force or energy fields.; Poison Gas – The Mandarin may transform the surrounding air into a Toxic gas.; Solidify Gas – The Mandarin may solidify the air around opponents, encasing them in blocks of cement-like material.; Rearrange costume and/or alter appearance.; Impact Beam Ring, aka Influence (worn in the right index finger): This Ring allows the Mandarin to generate and project various beams of concussive force.; Force Blast (Electron Beam, Neutron Beam) – The Mandarin may project blasts of concussive energy.; Sonic Beam – The Mandarin may project waves of high-intensity sound.; Vortex Beam Ring, aka Spin (worn in the right middle finger): The ring causes the air to move about at high speed in a vortex. The vortex can be used as an offensive weapon, as a means of levitating objects, or as a means of propelling the ring's wearer through the air.; Disintegration Beam Ring, aka Spectral (worn in the right ring finger): This ring allows the Mandarin to project a beam of energy capable of destroying the bonds between the atoms and molecules, causing inanimate objects to disintegrate. This ring must recharge for 20 minutes after each use.; The ring can also turn the user invisible.; Black Light Ring, aka Nightbringer (worn in the right little finger): This Ring allows the Mandarin to create an area of darkness, using Darkforce energy to do so.; White Light Ring, aka Daimonic (worn in the left thumb): This ring allows the Mandarin to generate and manipulate various forms of electromagnetic energy.; Light Burst – The Mandarin may generate bursts of high intensity light to blind opponents.; Gravity Field – The Mandarin may encase opponents in a field of heavy gravity, pinning them to the surfaces.; Magnetic Levitation – The Mandarin may utilize electromagnetic fields to levitate and manipulate objects.; Image Projection – The Mandarin may project holographic illusions. He can also produce multiple images to confuse an opponent, or make a substantially larger version of himself.; Flame-Blast Ring, aka Incandescence (worn in the left index finger): This ring allows the Mandarin to project blasts of infrared to produce flame or ignite combustible materials.; Mento-Intensifier Ring, aka The Liar (worn in the left ring finger): This ring magnifies the Mandarin’s psionic energies, allowing him to mentally manipulate the thoughts and actions of others.; Mental Illusions – The Mandarin may psionically generate illusions within the minds of others. These illusions are very realistic and are capable of affecting all of the senses (vision, hearing, taste, touch and smell).; Mental Paralysis – The Mandarin may psionically manipulate the minds of others, temporarily paralyzing them.; Electro-Blast Ring, aka Lightning (worn in the left middle finger): This ring allows the Mandarin to project blasts of Electrical Energy.; Ice Blast Ring, aka Zero (worn in the left little finger): This ring allows the Mandarin to project waves of up intense cold and ice, including trapping foes in ice blocks and sheaths.; ===Limitations===; The rings cause electrostatic reactions with each other when used. Iron Man attacked the rings with magnetic pulses to exploit this limitation in his last battle with Temugin. Notes: These rings are Makluan (a race of dragon-like aliens) technology and were apparently used to power a ship Mandarin found crashed. The rings have altered their wearers to be superhuman, most notably the hands of the Mandarin becoming dragon-like. Mandarin has a strong link to his rings, and is aware of where they are and if they are used if he is not wearing them. He can attempt to mentally take over control of anyone who attempts to use them, as the Yellow Claw found out after attempting to steal them.; The rings can render any level telepathy useless on who ever wears them, unless they willingly let it.; The rings are less effective on objects protected by force fields.; The Mandarin seemed able to teleport when the rings' power are used to activate another device.; The rings' energy emissions increase a lot when they're about to teleport. Trivia: Before being identified as Makluan, the Mandarin would sometimes swap out rings or alternatively "upgrade" his rings with new abilities. It is unknown if he actually tampered with the rings themselves.; In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Ten Rings are modelled after the iron rings used in the martial art Hung Gar rather than finger rings, and don't possess elemental powers. According to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings producer Jonathan Schwartz, these changes were made to avoid comparisons with the Infinity Gauntlet. Schwartz has stated the inspiration was the 1978 movie The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.; Following the success of the movie, the comics introduced a different set of Ten Rings that are modelled after the MCU version. History: These ten cylinders were Makluan pieces of technology. Each contained the soul of a long-dead legendary cosmic warrior, trapped in a phantasmal state limited by their respective device. Each of these artifacts additionally possessed a quarantined A.I. for when the rings were separated from their wielders.; They found their way to Earth aboard the starship of Makluan explorer Axonn-Karr, who had to retreat to a cave in the Valley of Spirits in China after being fatally wounded by the scared natives of the land. The Mandarin discovered Axonn-Karr and his ship, and became transfixed by the cylinders. Ignoring the pleas of the moribund Axonn-Karr not to touch them, the Mandarin finished him off with his sword and took the devices for himself. Having found them similar in shape to rings, the Mandarin began to wear them as such, one on each of his fingers, learning how to use them and unlock their powers.; When the Mandarin first wore all the rings together at the same time, the spirits within them managed to reach out to his mind and influence his thoughts so his ultimate goal would be to resurrect them. Many years later, the Mandarin decided to finally carry out their will. To this end, he kidnapped his long-time nemesis Tony Stark and forced him to build Titanomechs, powerful robots that could become the rings' new vessels. Only three Titanomechs were built and had rings inserted in them before Stark rebelled against the Mandarin. Using the Swarm, a cloud of nanobots developed by Resilient, the Titanomechs were destroyed. Following Mandarin's death at the hands of Zeke Stane, the rings were placed under S.H.I.E.L.D. custody in their Weapons Vault Omega.; Not long after that, Iron Man brought to Earth the corpse of the Rigellian Recorder 451. Unbeknownst to Stark, the robot began to transmit an alien frequency that reached the rings and altered them, upgrading their Makluan A.I. and granting them sentience. The A.I.s' latent purpose to analyze the planet on which they were residing and try to help it achieve progress combined with the hatred for Tony Stark inherited from the Mandarin. The rings escaped the S.H.I.E.L.D. vault and parted ways to find individual hosts, communicating with each other through a shared computational space called the Ring of Rings. The Liar ring stayed behind, casting an illusion that made it look like the entire set remained in custody to trick their curators. The rings chose the following hosts:; Remaker: A warlord who would name himself Lord Remaker.; Influence: The A.I.M.-produced clone Colin Sixty.; Spin: French fascist Alec Eiffel.; Spectral: The Dark Elf Malekith the Accursed.; Nightbringer: The Inhuman Vic Kohl.; Daimonic: The Fantastic Four super villain Mole Man.; Incandescence: A left-wing reporter called Abigail Burns.; Lightning: A displeased Broadway director who would name himself Lightning Conductor.; Zero: The super villain Endotherm.; The Liar: Pepper Potts' fiancé Marc Kumar. This ring wouldn't find a host until after fleeing from the S.H.I.E.L.D. vault when its ruse was discovered.; Upon receiving his ring and learning of the existence of other nine, Malekith decided to hunt down his fellow ring-holders and take their rings for himself. Iron Man traveled to Svartalfheim in order to retrieve Malekith's rings, and managed to take Incandescence from one of his subordinates. Malekith's unexpected stratagem prompted the other ring-holders to work together against him, for which they arrived to Svartalfheim and confronted Malekith once he had lost the Lightning, Remaker, and Incandescence rings to Iron Man. By reverse-engineering the technology of the rings he had obtained, Stark created a "Master Ring" to ease the labor of taking the rings from their bearers. With the help of Abigail Burns, Stark captured the remaining rings, and handed them over to the Rigellians. Only the Incandescence ring remained on Earth, as Stark's brother Arno gifted it back to Abigail Burns.; The Mandarin later surfaced alive with all of the rings in his possession under unknown circumstances. This resurrection was short-lived, as the villain was killed by the Punisher afterward. Some time later, the rings fell in the hands of the black market of advanced technology known as Source Control. One of their operatives, Vic Martinelli, stole the rings and attempted to reach out to Iron Man for help, but Source Control caught wind of his betrayal and sent the Titanium Man to kill him and recover the artifacts. Iron Man and War Machine tracked the Mandarin's rings to Source Control's hub in Macau, and intended to buy them alongside the rest of the network's catalog. In parallel, Ironheart had infiltrated Source Control under the disguise of Cobalt Man and bought the artifacts herself. Having studied them for years, Riri saw the potential in the rings for non-offensive applications. After dismantling Source Control's operations, Tony reluctantly agreed to let Riri keep the rings.; The rings' influence quickly began to seep through, as Williams wore them regularly and even lied about them being on her person. On her way to build Mysterium spaceships in Nidavellir on Tony's behalf with Forge's help, Riri was confronted by a Makluan dragon, who warned her about the rings hosting the evil spirits of his brethren before leaving. In Nidavellir, Riri came into conflict with greedy Dwarves who reneged on their assistance. Under the rings' influence, Williams lashed out until Forge made her come to her senses. Unwilling to risk losing herself to study the rings, Riri made the decision to dispose of the artifacts. Using a machine of Forge's invention that could magically send things to wherever they're needed, Riri hurled the rings into space, scattering them across the galaxy. ============================================================ Mandroid Armor (Earth-1298) Kind: item Page: Mandroid Armor (Earth-1298) Formal name: Mandroid Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Mutant X Vol 1 1 Created by: Howard Mackie; Tom Raney Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lofficier; David Day Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Chthon Current owner: Catholic Church Previous owners: Chthon; Aelfric Notes: The Prophecy of Malachy, also called Prophecy of the Popes and in Latin Prophetia Sancti Malachiae Archiepiscopi, de Summis Pontificibus ("Prophecy of Saint-Archbishop Malachy, concerning the Supreme Pontiffs") is a real document that purportedly describes every single pope from 1143 AD to the end of time, approximately a millenia after that date - yet in the real world it is of course not a part of the (fictional) Darkhold, does not concern the (fictional) Chthon, and there are serious doubts about its authenticity. Malachy (Máel Máedóc Ua Morgair, 1094-1148) was a real Archbishop of Armagh in the 12th century, of course canonized only after his death (meaning he wouldn't have signed as Saint-Archbishop Malachy when he was alive, for he was not a Saint yet). The Prophecy was discovered only in 1590, more than four centuries after Malachy's death, and it includes a list of 112 short, cryptic phrases, each describing a future Pope beginning with Celestine II (1143), and suggesting there would be only 111 more Popes after him before Doomsday. The Prophecy is mostly considered a forgery written in the 16th century, as the Popes from 1143 to 1590 are described with the accuracy that could be expected of a historian writing about a past person, yet the popes from 1590 are listed with vague, symbolic lines that often required the reader to make a conscious effort and force the prophecy to fit - in the best cases. It is also surprising that such an important document had not been mentioned by Malachy's contemporaries, or by any previous historian, should it be true, especially as it was discovered at a suspiciously convenient time to favor Cardinal Girolami Simoncelli. Per the Prophecy, the last Pope should have been Francis (Papacy 2013-2025).; When the Malachy Prophecy was brought into the Marvel Universe in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 12, it was presumably meant to be the MU's version of the document that exists in the real world, albeit with a very different author. The idea that the prophecy might be connected to the fourth and final rising of Chthon was mentioned in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 15, and the specific lines that foretold how Chthon would return, quoted at the top of this article, first appeared (in Latin) in Darkhold: Pages from the Book of Sins Vol 1 3 and (translated into English) in Darkhold: Pages from the Book of Sins Vol 1 6.; The Vatican's San Gabriel Archives, described as "the greatest storehouse of occult literature in the world," was first mentioned in Doctor Strange Vol 2 38. That name was subsequently used in Doctor Strange Vol 2 39, Man-Thing Vol 2 4 and Doctor Strange Vol 2 41. However, aside from references to "St. Gabriel's Library" in several Official Handbook profiles, that name has not been used in-story for more than 45 years. The "little-known wing of the Vatican Library...devoted secretly to occult lore" that appeared in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 9 was seemingly meant to be that archive, but this has never been confirmed in-story. History: The Prophecy of Malachy is a document found among the Darkhold scrolls, written by the demon Chthon before the origin of humanity. The Prophecy, which spanned several scrolls, foretold the Papal succession until the end of time, giving details of the reigns of Popes from the 12th century to almost a thousand years in the future, and mentioning other dark secrets, such as the eventual return of Chthon. Its authorship was erroneously attributed to Saint Malachy, a 12th-century Irish bishop.; This document was among the Darkhold Scrolls gathered by Aelfric, the mad monk, in the 12th century. After Aelfric was executed, agents of the Catholic Church eventually recovered these documents and secretly sent them to the the Palace of Lateran in Rome. Once there, they were brought to St. Gabriel's Library, a little-known library devoted to such occult, and potentially dangerous, artifacts. The young monk who was that library's recently-appointed curator, Paolo Montesi, discovered the document, understood its meaning, and began studying it and other scrolls that mentioned dark secrets. Although he was tainted by reading these dark documents, Montesi's faith was strong enough that the Darkhold did not dominate him, and Montesi met with Pope Eugene III to inform him of the importance of the Prophecy and the other scrolls. The Pope decreed that of all the priests, only Montesi was authorized to touch the Darkhold scrolls, that they were to be bound into a single volume known as the Book of Sins, and that Montesi would be allowed to marry so as to sire heirs who could become the book's custodians. ============================================================ Matrix Stone Kind: item Page: Matrix Stone Formal name: Matrix Stone Type: Jewel First appearance: Symbiote Spider-Man: Crossroads Vol 1 1 Created by: Peter David Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Celestial Tech; created as control nexus by The Celestials to hold power over their other creation, the Norn Stones. Lost to the ages until found as a Museum piece in New York city. Current owner: None Previous owners: Spider-Man, Guilt Hulk, Karnilla, The Celestials, Odin Model: Unique History: Many eons ago, a hierarchy of cosmic creationists known as The Celestials became privy to the existence of a host of alternate realities and parallel worlds. As their curiosity was peaked by such phenomena, these cosmic entities would go on to create a set of metaphysical jewels that would essentially enable safe & easy travel across realities.; But in order to better harness their power a central diadem was fabricated from the primal ether to enable control over their function. This stone would be called their Matrix, and through it, a user could bind and unify the power of all specially made jewels while bequeathing powers of its own.; Over the centuries the central ornament would be lost to time until it eventually wound up in the Natural History Museum in the city state of New York. Where The Norn Queen would hire out Moondark to steal it for her. In truth However, she just needed him to undo its magical veils that shielded it from other arcanum users. Knowing full well he couldn't utilize its power even when after he'd succeeded, and even if he tried using it himself.; After a scuffle with Spider-Man sends him to a dimensional interlink, right into the unwitting company of The Incredible Hulk stone soon bonds to Parker's Klyntar and magnifies his power and its ferocity.; Making both strong enough to contend with the jade giant, temporarily. The Matrix Stone would soon leave them to bind itself to Banner as it sought out a stronger wielder after they were bested. Upon binding itself to the gamma mutate's brow, it soon transformed him back to his human guise; leaving him vulnerable to the Killer-Folk who assaulted and absconded with the weaker persona for ritualistic purposes. This would soon prove to be an unwise coarse of venture, as the artifice soon drudge up a far more dangerous alter of the Hulk to fight their patron deity to a bloody finish, with all of its diabolical power and qualities magnified by the stone's influence several times over.; Afterwards the amazing and the incredible would be whisked away across space/time once more by Warlord Kro and his Deviants when the monarch of Lemuria saw what Hulk was in possession of.; A fight would break out but soon the leader would halt their assault before brokering a compromise with his new guests. In that time, the age long enemies of his people; The Eternals, would soon pop up on their undersea radar as an approaching ship entered their oceanic sphere of influence. During an ordered assault on the enemy vessel, Kro would go on to explain what it is Brian Banner has affixed to his skull and why so many people are after it.; Now understanding just what it is withheld in their possession, The Guilt Hulk uses it to magnify his size & power whilst attempting to commandeer his hosts base to procure their weaponry for his own ends. He would resume prior battle with Spider-Man alongside laying waste to their caretakers, only to be obstructed by the waylayer Ikarus who saves the former at the last second.; The battle is soon joined by Zuras and Thena; who soon needs immediate rescue by Makkari when she's knocked back by retaliatory fire by the Hulk with a Deviant blaster cannon.; They're all soon met by minions of the Norn Queen who are soon proceeded by Karnilla herself; finally deciding to take a direct hand in claiming her prize. Something she succeeds quite handily before vacating back to her realm of Nornheim. Spider-Man, Ikari and the Savage Hulk soon trace her towards her domain; only to find the renegade Norn has already begun her ultimate machinations.; Karnilla would soon utilize the stone to augment her already formidable magical prowess to virtual almighty levels. Easily tanking the combined assault from three mighty heroes without so much as a sweat on her part..; Growing weary of the offense by the Eternal and the gamma monster, Karnilla soon flexes more of the stones power by changing the world around her into hazards or an army to beset them with as a show of growing instability due to the poison boon it provides. But she is soon met with the force of sky-father class entities in a giant sized Zarus and All-Father Odin just as she is overwhelming the two of her assailants. Odin succinctly plucks the celestial's bauble from the fore of her crown before just as swiftly destroying it; in agreement with the Prime Eternal that it was too dangerous to keep around.; clear; ==Properties==; Like the relics it acts as the focal point of, The Matrix Stone is a wish granter which is powered by the thoughts & desires of its holder. The hitch to its use being it magnifies the darker prospects of a users character to untenable levels. Making them volatile and power mad whilst amping their negative qualities. ============================================================ Master Machine (Earth-6297) Kind: item Page: Master Machine Formal name: Master Machine Type: Computer First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 102 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-6297 History: The Master Machine is a computer that controls the high-level decisions in the World of the 23rd Century.

In said backstory for Spaceheat (Charles Yameogo), it was said that as a child, he wore temporary marks shaped like the Seal of the Vishanti, the Mark of Zhou'syn (without the space after the apostrophe), or the Yellow Sign. This information has not been published, and thereore is not canon.Appendix9/spaceheat-aru.html History: The Mark of Zhou' Syn was a protected sigil that Gomurr the Ancient conjured by waving his point, upon which was many rings-talismans.; Gomurr used it against Spite in the Crimson Cosmos. ============================================================ Mental Teleporter (Doctor Doom) Kind: item Page: Mental Teleporter (Doctor Doom) Formal name: Mental Teleporter Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 10 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: The Ovoids Current owner: Doctor Doom Previous owners: Ovoids Model: Unique History: The Mental Teleporter is a piece of alien technology obtained from the Ovoids by Doctor Doom and worn on his chest.

During a time when man relied on the supernatural for protection and power, the medallion was coveted by the by the evil demon Zarathos. He sought to use the mystic powers of the medallion to fulfill his quest to conquer the Earth. He was opposed by the Blood, whose sole purpose is to safeguard the Medallion of Power. Along with the Order of the Midnight Sons (also known as the Spirits of Vengeance), a similar group, the Blood battled Zarathos and his forces. Unable to defeat Zarathos, the Midnight Sons forced him into the Medallion of Power but were trapped within it as well. The Medallion was then shattered by the Blood to prevent other from seeking it.; The Blood known as the Caretaker decided that the medallion was too powerful to possessed by any one person to wield, managed to shatter it into pieces.; These pieces and the powers within were placed within the descendants of two human families.; ===Modern Age===; The Medallion of Power first appeared as the gas cap of the Ghost Rider's motorcycle. ============================================================ Megingjord Kind: item Page: Megingjord Formal name: Megingjord Other aliases: Belt of Strength; Belt of Power Type: Belt First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 91 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Joe Sinnott Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Place of creation: Asgard Current owner: Thor Previous owners: Roger Norvell Model: Unique Notes: Although listed on this wiki under its mythological name, this item has only been called either the Belt of Strength or the Belt of Power in stories set within the Marvel Universe.; According to Thor Vol 1 363, wearing his Belt of Strength doubles Thor's natural power but its use drains him so severely that he would barely be able to walk once he removed it. This weakness has not been mentioned or observed in any other stories.; In its first ten appearances in stories set on Earth-616, this belt was golden in color, its design had a number of circles along its length and it was worn around Thor's waist. However, in its two most recent appearances, the belt was silver in color, was composed of a series of connected rectangular segments and was so much longer that, when worn by Thor, it wrapped around his waist, his torso and his right thigh. Since this significant change in the belt has not been officially explained, one can only presume that Jagrfelm must have reshaped it while he was fashioning the Gauntlet of Tomorrows and the Shield of Life in Thor Vol 2 25. History: Part of Norse myth, Megingjord was the enchanted Belt of Strength owned by Thor. While worn by Thor, his already legendary strength, power and durability double.; It was first used by Thor in the modern era while trapped by the magician Sandu who was being manipulated by Thor's evil step-brother Loki. The Belt was normally held in reserve by Odin in Asgard when Thor was not using it.; Later, when Odin became concerned that Thor might one day not be available when Asgard needed his strength, he had Geirrodur craft a device that generated certain mystical flames. Odin then summoned Thor to Asgard and had him walk through these Fires of Geirrodur. Although Thor was not then informed of the purpose of this action, Odin showed Sif that the flames had separated some of Thor's essence from his body and Odin then transformed that essence into a solid image within which the power of the Thunder God resided. If some crisis were to come at a time when Thor was absent, then this immortal essence could be placed into another, lesser god or even a mortal who could then protect Asgard. Until it was needed, Odin stored this Essence of Thor within the Belt of Strength and Thor's Iron Gloves.; Later, Thor battled Loki in Jotunheim but found himself weakened by half by spells that Loki had previously cast. In order to overcome this weakness, Thor summoned his Belt of Strength from Asgard and donned it, regaining his normal strength and enabling him to swiftly defeat Loki and his allies. After flying himself, Loki and the mortal "Red" Norvell back to Asgard, Thor removed the belt and handed it to Norvell to hold, until and unless he asked for it. However, Norvell had fallen in love with Lady Sif and Loki was easily able to manipulate him into taking the belt to the Palace of Thor. Once there, Norvell followed Loki's instructions and bathed in the Fire of Geirrodur while retrieving and donning the Iron Gloves and putting on the belt. As a result of undergoing this trial, Norvell was transformed into another version of Thor. In his new godly form, Norvell continued to wear the Belt of Strength until he sacrificed his life by choosing to battle Jormungand. Soon after, Thor learned that Odin created the means for another Thor to be birthed to replace him as part of a plan to thwart Ragnarok.; Thor was later forced to wear the belt again when he faced Kurse whose power had been increased by the Beyonder. The belt was not apparent when Thor was briefly trapped in the form of a frog by a spell cast by Loki but reappeared when he used Mjolnir to transform into Thor the Thunder Frog.; Later, Thor wore Megingjord to boost his powers when he confronted Arishem who had seemingly judged against the inhabitants of the planet Pangoria but his increased power had no effect on the Celestial. After discovering the greater threat posed by Exitar the Exterminator and making his way into that Celestial's head, Thor wrapped his Belt of Power around Mjolnir and then channeled his godly life-force through his hammer in order to crack open the dome that protected Exitar's brain.; When Thor later began constantly ignoring his responsibilities to Asgard by choosing to stay on Earth at a time when Asgard was in need of a Thor due to another looming Ragnarok, Odin traveled to Valhalla to retrieve Roger Norvell. Odin gave the Belt of Strength and the Iron Gloves to Norvell who became Thor again as soon as he put them on.; During a battle with a higher powered clone of Thanos, Thor received a much-changed Megingjord along with a shield and a gauntlet empowered with Odinforce from Odin and used them to defeat the Thanos clone. Soon afterwards, when Thor attempted to use the power of the Gauntlet of Tomorrows to restore a damaged Recorder to life, Odin appeared to him and warned him to immediately remove the Weapons of War because they would drain the noble and righteous character of whoever bore them until they were left without empathy or moral heading. When Thor, who was already being influenced, refused to obey Odin's command, the All-Father sent Balder (disguised as the recently-defeated Mangog) to battle him. After fighting for nearly two hours, Thor was about to slay his defeated foe when Odin dispelled the illusion and revealed who Thor had really been battling. Shaken to realize how close he had come to murdering his comrade, Thor discarded all of the weapons, and Odin transported them and Balder back to Asgard.; Megingjord has not been seen since, and its whereabouts are unknown. ============================================================ Micro-Sentries Kind: item Page: Micro-Sentries Formal name: Micro-Sentries Type: Robot First appearance: Marvel Fanfare Vol 1 44 Created by: Ken Steacy Reality: Earth-616 Origin: The micro-sentries were created by Doctor Doom.

Twenty of these small robots patrol inside the circuitry of Doom's armor, designed to hunt and destroy any tiny organism -up to microscopic scale- trying to invade the insides of the armor - indeed one of the potential targets was Ant-Man. The spider-like creatures had grapple claws to attack nearby enemies and an armored hull for protection. Being robots, they were immune to psionic or emotion-based attack, but were vulnerable to metal- or machinery-specialized attacks.; They once battled Iron Man, who used Pym Particles to shrink down inside Doom's armor and disable a destructive device. One Micro-Sentry knocked Iron Man down, but Iron Man's friend James Rhodes remotely took over control over Iron Man's armor to continue the mission. ============================================================ MAX Armor Mark IV (Earth-148611) Kind: item Page: MAX Armor Mark IV Formal name: Man-Assisted eXperimental Armor Other aliases: MAX Armor Type: Armor First appearance: The Pitt Vol 1 1 Created by: John Byrne; Mark Gruenwald Reality: Earth-148611 Lead designer: William Deere Current owner: Jake Travest Previous owners: Jennifer Swensen Model: 4 History: Smaller and stealthier than the original models.

Baird; Dan Gerson Reality: Earth-14123 Origin: Japanese; Designed by Hiro Hamada Lead designer: Hiro Hamada Place of creation: San Fransokyo Current owner: Hiro Hamada Previous owners: Professor Robert Callaghan Properties: The microbots can be controlled mentally with the use of a neurotransmitter. The swarm of robots can be used to build anything its controller wishes, and create different figures. The microbots can mimic the move patterns of a liquid, and turn completely solid and extremely durable. Using a combination of this two properties allows their controlled to use them as a form of transportation, like a slide. Trivia: The Microbots Swarm is used by Hiro as his principal offensive weapon in the videogame Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes. History: After being created by Hiro Hamada, the microbots were stolen by Professor Robert Callaghan, who set the expo on fire to cover up the theft.; Weeks later, Callaghan created more microbots. The warehouse where they were being built was discovered by Hiro and his robot companion Baymax, who were soon attacked by Gallaghan in disguise and barely escaped. Days later, they tracked down the microbots once again, and found them in the docks of San Fransokyo, where Callaghan was returning from having used them to recover pieces of scientific equipment. Hiro's friends had followed him, and escaped along with him once Callaghan spotted them and tried to kill them with the microbots. This resulted in a chase through the city, which ceased once the group of friends fell with their van to the water, and Callaghan presumed them dead.; Hiro and his friends, now equipped with suits of armor, tracked Callaghan down, and found him in an abandoned lab in an island. He was using the microbots to dismantle a prototype of a dimensional portal, which he would later relocate above one Alistair Krei's institute, to use the portal's capabilities to destroy it to have revenge on Krei, whom he blamed for the death of his daughter Abigail.; The Big Hero 6 managed to disarm Callaghan of the microbots, by separating them, causing the individual microbots to be swallowed by the portal. ============================================================ Microscopic Oddities Generated Only for Disintegration Kind: item Page: Microscopic Oddities Generated Only for Disintegration Formal name: Microscopic Oddities Generated Only for Disintegration Other aliases: M.O.G.O.D.

History: Developed by Doctor Doom, this item was a small shining sphere that could be held with three fingers and thrown to a target. The globe would then track the victim quickly and relentless using heat-seeking sensors; it was impossible to dodge or to divert even using superpowers. It could only track one individual victim. Once the orb hits the victim, she immediatly feels agony, ectasy, cold and heat through the whole body, then the transmuting process starts from the impact point.; A victim with a particularly high stamina and endurance could resist the effect and be completely unaffected. If not, in a twinkle, the victim's body becomes immobile, living, organic chrome, similar to Colossus's armored form - but, unlike Colossus's, the victim's organic processes slow down to a virtual stop and the victim is unable of movement or conscious thought. Superpowers based on emotions can be used, however - not without some pressure, as the psychological effect could be quite intense. The coverage provided the victim with certain protection against physical damage.; The clothing was not directly affected and could be removed and replaced after the transformation.; Doom had a different ball to revert the process by transfiguring the victim back to flesh and bone, an antidote similar in appearance to the transmuter.; A Doombot impersonating Doom once used a metabolic transmuter on Storm of the X-Men, successfully entrapping her. As she was a claustrophobic, her powers unleashed an uncontrolled, intense tempest in the surrounding area. When Doom used the antidote to revert the process, coerced by Storm's allies, she recovered in an unstable mind frame, becoming a danger to friend and foe until Colossus helped her recover. ============================================================ Message Kind: item Page: Message Formal name: Message Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 350 Created by: Walt Simonson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Latverian Current owner: Doctor Doom Properties: Aiming system that generates a bull's-eye out of thin air.; Bolts thrown from its hands.; Internal memory self-destruction following orders.; Great strength and endurance. History: Doctor Doom built several of these robots. Their first known appearance was when Doom convinced Ms. Marvel, the She-Thing to submit to a mutogenic process at his castle in Latveria. Doom then sent one Message robot to the Four Freedoms Plaza, headquarters of Ms. Marvel's friends the Fantastic Four, to tell the heroes that, for the following four hours, Ms. Marvel would be safe at Doom's castle, and that Doom expected the heroes' "company" to learn useful information and meet Ms. Marvel. Having said that, the Message robot self-destroyed its memory.; The Fantastic Four indeed raided the Castle. Fantastic Four leader Mister Fantastic confronted Doom using Null Time Sequencers to leap through time, while the Thing tried to take unconscious Ms. Marvel to safety. Three Message robots intercepted the Thing. He easily destroyed the first two, but the later was surprisingly strong. However, when Mister Fantastic and Doom reappeared for a moment, the Message was distracted and fired a bolt - probably aiming at Mister Fantastic, but accidentally hitting Doom anyway. The Thing took this chance to hit the robot with all his strength, and shattered it. ============================================================ Memory Probe (Earth-691) Kind: item Page: Memory Probe Formal name: Memory Probe Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 18 Created by: Arnold Drake; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-691 Origin: Badoon Current owner: Drang History: The memory probe's was a device used by the Badoon.

History: The Mental Transference Machine was a device developed by A.I.M. and used by M.O.D.O.C. to exchange the minds of individuals.; After Iron Man and Hawkeye tracked A.I.M. to one of its hideouts, the two heroes easily defeated the organization's operatives, spending much of the fight teasing each other over their respective combat abilities and mastery of their equipment. M.O.D.O.C. then intervened, offering to settle their argument by demonstrating the Mental Transference Machine.; The device swapped the minds of Stark and Barton, leaving Barton to operate the Iron Man armor while Stark was forced to use Hawkeye's bow and arrows. As the battle turned against them, the two heroes put aside their differences and devised a way to destroy the machine. Stark combined a glue arrow with an explosive arrow to create a bomb, which Barton carried and launched himself toward the Mental Transference Machine using a cable slingshot.; The resulting explosion destroyed the machine and forced A.I.M. to flee. Stark and Barton subsequently returned to their own bodies, only to resume teasing each other over their respective equipment. ============================================================ Mjolnir Kind: item Page: Mjolnir Formal name: Mjolnir Other aliases: God of Hammers; Hammer; Hammer of Gods; Hammer of Heaven; Hammer of the Gods; Mahjonner; Mighty Mallet; The Crusher; Thor's Hammer; Uru Hammer; Asgardian Warhammer Type: Hammer First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 83 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Eitri Additional designers: Brokk, Buri, Odin Borson Place of creation: Sun; originally Godmaker, Nidavellir Current owner: Thor Odinson Previous owners: Beta Ray Bill; Eric Masterson; Jane Foster; Loki Laufeyson; Odin Borson; Steve Rogers; Moon Knight; Adam Aziz; Khonshu; Superman Alternate owners: Dani Cage (Earth-21923) Material: Uru Dimensions: It has an oblong head about a foot long and a handle of equal length. The handle is wrapped in leather that is stated to be unbreakable that ends in a loop. Properties: Mjolnir was crafted from a nugget of Uru, a powerful nigh-invulnerable Asgardian metal. Additional enchantments placed upon it by Odin made it virtually indestructible. It has survived Kang the Conqueror's antimatter screen, heat as extreme as the heart of suns, and blasts powerful enough to destroy planets. Almost nothing is capable of withstanding a blow from Mjolnir, not even the armor of the powerful Celestials. A rare exception is primary adamantium, as was demonstrated when Thor threw Mjolnir at the robot Ultron with no effect.; In later years, Mjolnir demonstrated that it possessed remnants of the God Tempest's sentience, as when it moved on its own or prevented Odin from lifting it. Mjolnir could even temporarily project a physical form capable of talking, though this power required a great deal of energy and would likely be at least a hundred years before it could be done again. As the "God of Hammers," Mjolnir created a feminine avatar out of divine lightning to wield itself and confront Thor.; ===Worthiness Enchantment===; One of the hammer's most notable attributes is its worthiness enchantment. This spell surrounds Mjolnir and prevents it from being wielded by anyone save those who have been found worthy. To anyone else, Mjolnir can't be lifted from the ground, as if it were immeasurably heavy even though its actual weight is about 42.3 pounds. Those who are deemed worthy are able to wield Thor's powers and access to the hammer's countless mystical attributes and powers such as manipulation of the fundamental forces of the universes, including the electromagnetic spectrum and gravity.; The enchantment is so powerful that even with the hammer cut in half, it's still in effect. As the true master of Mjolnir, Thor can also will unto others the ability to wield the mystical hammer. Odin himself can also alter the enchantment, allowing somebody the hammer wouldn't naturally deem worthy to use it, or preventing somebody, even Thor, from lifting it. The hammer can be lifted, though its powers not used, in the vacuum of space, where no gravity can keep it down. The enchantment can be altered, thus allowing somebody not worthy to wield it, with the use of reality-warping. The enchantment may not be effective in other dimensions, such as Limbo.; The worthiness enchantment primarily applies to living beings who try to lift the hammer directly. The android copy of the Air Walker was able to pick up and hold Mjolnir, as was the Awesome Android, but neither of them gained any of Thor's powers while holding Mjolnir.; Machines or magical constructs that are being controlled by living beings have been able to lift Mjolnir and wield it as a weapon, but doing so has also not endowed them or their operators with Thor's powers. Those things which have lifted Mjolnir include a giant robot controlled by Zarko, an atomic-powered hydraulic hoist remotely-controlled by the Cobra, an iron glove conjured forth by Doctor Strange, an unhuman lava-formed hand created by the magic of the Lava Man Witch Doctor Jinku, and a giant earth-and-stone hand created by the sorceress Linnea. However, when Pegas tried to use mighty cranes to lift Mjolnir while on the planet Pangoria, their booms all broke under the strain, and attempts by the US Army to move Mjolnir after it crash-landed in Oklahoma also only resulted in damaged equipment.; Living beings who have been worthy can become unworthy due to outside influences, but it's uncertain how negatively affected they have to be before becoming unworthy. For example, when the Power Prism (Krimonn) once claimed Thor as its host body, the Odinson was tainted by its evil, became no longer worthy, and was soon unable to hold Mjolnir. However, when Thor, while under the influence of a love spell that compelled him to obey Lorelei, struck the Lady Sif, this was not sufficient to make him unworthy.; ===Return to its wielder's hand enchantment===; Mjolnir has also been enchanted so that it will always return to the hand of the person who throws it. However, there are conflicting accounts as to what would happen if that person's hands were both occupied when the hammer returned. On one occasion, after being thrown while aboard a ship at sea, the hammer tried to return to Thor's grasp but, finding both of its master's hands occupied with holding up the ship's falling smokestack, the hammer settled obediently and within reach on the deck. On another occasion, when seeking to free himself from the love-spell that Loki had cast upon him, Thor hurled Mjolnir up into the sky, then grabbed Loki by the neck with his left hand, and then reminded Loki that, by Odin's decree, the hammer must return to his hand and would let nothing bar the way, not even the head of Loki. Thor further stated that, when Mjolnir returned to his hand, Loki's body would be headless because his head would be dust. Thus motivated, Loki quickly undid the spell, and Thor caught Mjolnir in his right hand.; Mjolnir and its user share a mystical link that allows the latter to command the hammer. If the wielder's will is strong enough, the hammer can pass through nearly any barrier to reach them should they so choose; Mjolnir will even carve its way through the very center of entire planets to get back to its master.; ===Transformation of its wielder's body enchantment===; Due to an enchantment placed on it by Odin in recent times, Mjolnir was able to transform Thor between his godly form and his mortal form of Donald Blake, with the hammer usually assuming the form of an old wooden cane. Another provision of this enchantment required that Thor could not be out of physical contact with Mjolnir for more than sixty seconds without spontaneously reverting to his mortal form. Years later, that transformation enchantment was removed from Mjolnir by Odin who transferred it to Stormbreaker so that the noble warrior Beta Ray Bill could assume his true Korbinite form, something that he had lost when he was changed into his people's champion.; Later, when Marnot, in order to hide Thor from the Dark Gods who were searching for him on Earth, revived the nearly-dead Thor and gave him the mortal form of Jake Olson, the old rule was reinstated, and Thor would revert back to being Jake Olson if he were out of contact with Mjolnir for sixty seconds.; ===Powers granted unto its wielder===; Weather Manipulation: Wielding Mjolnir grants its master the ability to control the base elements of a storm, i.e. rain, wind, thunder, lightning and more (although Thor can control them by himself, it seems that Mjolnir boosts his ability of controlling the base elements of a storm). They can create giant raging electrical storms complete with thunder, lightning, hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, blizzards, tidal waves, exploding volcanoes, earthquakes and torrential rains across entire planets at a moment's notice. It can also create any of these phenomena individually. Another aspect of this power allows them to stop any of these weather conditions instantly as well. Its user can create storms on a planetary wide scale or larger if needed, and is not limited to the normal limits of Mother Nature and can go beyond and defy what natural weather can do such as creating rain in space where there is no atmosphere. The ability of Mjolnir's wielder to control and create storms extends to any and all storms as he has been shown to control and create raging temporal storms in time, create Solar Flares, powerful stellar winds in space and so on.; Flight: Mjolnir's user is capable of hurling Mjolnir with great force and, by holding onto the leather thong, is capable of flying through the air at tremendous speeds. While in an Earth-like atmosphere, Thor generally flew at roughly the Speed of Sound, roughly 770 miles per hour. Thor could fly so fast that he is invisible to the naked eye. He has been clocked flying at three times the speed of light, and is capable of achieving speeds far greater than that. It has been established that the speed of Thor's hammer transcends both time and space. Mjolnir can also perform complicated maneuvers in the air, and change course in mid-flight at the speed of thought. By spinning Mjolnir at high speeds over his head, Thor has been able to hover in mid air.; Energy Projection: With Mjolnir, its wielder can project powerful mystical beams of energy. He can even channel energies for stronger energy attacks.; God-Blast: Thor is capable of channeling different amounts of his godly energies in combination with the mystical properties of Mjolnir can be channeled through his hammer for a single massive energy beam known as the God-Blast. His godly energy is so vast and powerful, that even when reinforced with the Belt of Strength, which should double Mjolnir's fortification and durability, when Thor channeled his godly energies into Mjolnir to destroy the Brain Dome of the mighty Celestial Exitar, the hammer shattered from the amount of power Thor channeled. The God-Blast is so immensely powerful and destructive that it has proven capable of destroying beings as large and as powerful as Galactus, who was forced to flee for his life. Thor can send the God-Blast to the core of Ego the Living Planet and Alter Ego and render both comatose. He used the God-Blast to defeat Surtur and Ymir. Thor used the God-Blast to stop the Juggernaut (Cain Marko) while he was in motion and to push him back, letting fall him in a hole. Thor used the God-Blast to defeat the skymother Majeston Zelia, who absorbed the Odin-Force.; Anti-Force: Thor is capable of producing an indescribably powerful blast known as the Anti-Force which is capable of annihilating entire planets. This blast is so powerful that with just a single emission, Thor was capable of putting down and seemingly killing the powerful entity Mangog himself.; Thermo-Blast: Thor has the ability to produce a universe shaking Thermo-Blast capable of decimating even entire planets and beings as powerful as Ego the Living Planet.; Energy Sensing: Mjolnir can detect practically all types of energy. It reacts particularly strongly to evil psychic energy, and supernatural energy. Mjolnir can also track down the energy pattern of someone in hiding, detect any Asgardian's aura by their electrons discharge, and can sense and track the energy radiating from mystical objects.; Energy Absorption and Redirection: Thor is able to use Mjolnir to absorb any energy blasts directed towards him as means of attack. Once the energy is absorbed, Thor can redirect it back amplified many times over towards the source and/or use it as a weapon of his own. Thor has used Mjolnir to reflect the vast and hazardous amounts of energy being emitted by the biological weapon implanted within the Wasp's body by the Skrulls back at her while all of Earth's other super humans were helpless. Thor used Mjolnir to absorb Ultron's entire energy source, the Silver Surfer's Power Cosmic, Sky-Walker's Cosmic Tempest, radioactive energy, magnetism such as Magneto's personal magnetic field, and a portion of Pangoria's planetary magnetic field. Mjolnir's ability to absorb energy is so powerful he managed to absorb, contain and redirect the entire energy of the Null Bomb, which was powerful enough to destroy the entire galaxy, absorb mystical energies, such as Pluto's mystic flame. He was even able to absorb a portion of the mystical energies from every god pantheon on Earth, and absorbed the electromagnetic energies of the Celestial Mother-ship.; Teleportation: By grasping Mjolnir by the leather thong and rapidly swirling it, Thor can channel energies for the purpose of Wormholes through means of a vortex and in this vortex time has no meaning, which means he and others can pass through it to their destinations instantaneously. He can open gateways which allow him to travel across locations no matter how great the distance within moments or even across entire dimensions, as he does when he travels from Asgard to Earth and vice-versa. Thor has used Mjolnir to rip the fabric of the universe to send Surtur and Ymir to the Death Dimension and send an entire population to Limbo, Thor can also use Mjolnir to travel through portals anywhere within the same dimension.; Matter Manipulation: By spinning Mjolnir in a precise manner at cyclotronic speeds, Thor can manipulate matter from a molecular level to a vast scale, which allows him to create other configurations and even allows him to transmute the elements themselves. This ability was evident when he transmuted the Absorbing Man's wood and iron body to the gas helium.; Nether World Power: Thor can use Mjolnir to tap into the power of the Nether Worlds (dark dimensions).; Cosmic Energy: Mjolnir allows Thor to produce and control Cosmic Energy to an unknown limit for a variety of purposes.; Electromagnetic Spectrum Manipulation: Thor was able to absorb and manipulate the electromagnetic energies of the Celestial Mothership.; Invisibility and Intangibility: Thor can turn himself or others, using Mjolnir, completely intangible and/or invisible. An offshoot of this ability is that Thor can use Mjolnir to completely disrupt the phasing abilities of super humans such as the Vision, Shadowcat etc.; Event Recall: Thor can use Mjolnir to recall past events.; Transmigration of Souls: Thor's hammer has the ability to manipulate souls.; Life Force Absorption: Thor used this ability on the super villain the Presence, who was forced to surrender to prevent himself from being reduced to a lifeless husk.; Illusion Detection: Mjolnir can distinguish images, holograms, and different illusions from reality: Thor once commanded the hammer to strike the demon lord Mephisto, who was hiding among false images of himself.; Interdimensional Messaging: Thor can used Mjolnir to send psychic messages between the nine realms. Likewise, a Mjolnir is capable of talking and send signals to other Mjolnirs from across the Multiverse.; Transformation: When Thor was living on Earth under his mortal guise, he could use Mjolnir to transfer from his Donald Blake persona into Thor and vice versa. Thor loses this ability when Odin permanently separates the two personas. The transformation returns after Odin's death and Ragnarök restore Donald Blake to existence, allowing him to draw Thor back to Earth from the void once he finds the hammer, but for a time the two share an existence where they are distinct individuals who nevertheless have a similar memory.; Immunity to Other Forces: Even without activating the powers of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, enchanted by Odin, is impervious to nearly all forms of change, as he himself claimed that no power in the universe but the All-Father's could affect Mjolnir, shown when Amora's magical efforts during her first confrontation with Thor to change it into a deadly serpent availed her naught.; Allspeak: Thanks to the Allspeak, the wielder of Mjolnir can communicate with and be understood by all races.; Compassion: After becoming the All-Father and inheriting control of the enchantment, Thor gave Toranos "the power to hold the storm back," forcing a sense of morality on his foe. Notes: The hammer's name is pronounced "mmyol'-neer".; Mjolnir was classified by the Initiative as an "Omega Class Weapon," at the level of the Tactigon.; The Worthy, powerful warriors affiliated with the Serpent, wielded 8 similar powerful hammers, those being:; Hammer of Skadi; Hammer of Kuurth; Hammer of Nul; Hammer of Nerkkod; Manbreaker; Hammer of Mokk; Hammer of Greithoth; Hammer of Angrir; Over the years, the enchantments on Mjolnir have sometimes functioned differently than they should have, usually at times that caused problems for Thor. Strangely, the Odinson never seemed to notice that his hammer was behaving inconsistently.; In early Thor stories, when the thunder god had been out of contact with Mjolnir for 60 seconds and had reverted to his human form of Donald Blake, Mjolnir would remain in its true form. At some later point, the situation changed and Mjolnir would transform into its wooden cane form at the same time that Thor became Blake. However, in some later stories, Mjolnir was shown remaining in its hammer form even after Thor reverted to being Blake.; The 60 second time limit sometimes seemed to only be in effect if Thor was on or near Earth and in the Earth dimension, but some stories showed the involuntary transformation occurring when Thor was far away from Earth, either in space or in another dimension.; In some stories, instead of returning to Thor's hand after being thrown, Mjolnir would return to the spot from which it had been thrown by him.; On one occasion, Thor was able to transform himself into Blake and Mjolnir into its cane form, but somehow allowed Blake to retain extraordinary strength.; The idea that Mjolnir was 22.7 inches long and weighed weighed 42.3 pounds was first stated on the "Thor's hammer" card that was #128 in the 1991 Marvel Universe Cards, series II. Whether this length and/or weight are canon is uncertain. History: ===Origin===; Ages ago, a moon made of Uru was shattered during a battle between two Elder Gods, with one of the pieces eventually crashing to Nidavellir and being claimed by the dwarves. The dwarves bestowed this chunk of Uru to Odin, the recently-crowned All-Father of the Asgardians, as a gift after he saved their realm from an invasion of Trolls. Some time later, an unimaginably powerful cosmic storm called the God Tempest approached Asgard, and Odin battled the storm for many days to defend his kingdom. Once the storm was weakened enough, Odin defeated the God Tempest by trapping it in the chunk of Uru.; From the Uru, Odin ordered the Dwarves of Nidavellir to forge Mjolnir. On the Godmaker forge, the blacksmiths Eitri, Brokk, and Buri needed to use the tremendous heat of a star to get the forge hot enough to manipulate the Uru. The hammer was completed in seventeen weeks. In the process the star exploded and almost took Midgard with it; that event may explain the extinction of the Dinosaurs, about 65 million years ago. After Mjolnir landed on Earth, Odin retrieved it.; When Odin first tried to wield Mjolnir, he couldn't control it due to the God Tempest still retaining its power. The hammer devastated Asgard as it flew out of control. Out of spite, Odin cast an enchantment on the hammer to prevent anyone else from wielding it. Despite struggling to control it, Odin wielded Mjolnir during his tenure as a member of the prehistoric Avengers, but after he assumed the throne the hammer was stored away in Asgard's armory, where it sat for untold ages. The God Tempest purportedly died, but its power would remain inside Mjolnir.; Although powerful in and of itself, the hammer also received several potent spells from Odin, who slew the Frost Giant Laufey with it.; ===Thor===; Much later, Mjolnir was bequeathed to his son Thor, after he proved himself worthy through several trials. With few exceptions, Thor has carried Mjolnir throughout his adventures. Thus, the history of Mjolnir follows that of Thor. Although Asgard was destroyed in Ragnarök, Thor and the hammer survived.; ===Modern Age===; While Thor was trapped on the extradimensional world of Balatraan, the Enchanter Enrakt detected his presence while searching for his imprisoned brothers. Seeking vengeance, Enrakt projected his astral essence across the inter-dimensional gulf so that he could infuse his essence within Mjolnir and become its master, even though doing so caused his physical body's death. Now in a weakened state, it took months for Enrakt to replenish his strength enough that he could cause the hammer to occasionally act up and cause problems for Thor. Enrakt's spirit eventually left the hammer and he and his brothers were soon defeated.; After Nick Fury whispered to Thor a revelation that consolidated the God of Thunder's deepest belief, that of Gorr the God-Butcher being right about claiming that gods were selfish and uncaring for mortals, Thor lost his confidence about his godhood and consequently his ability to wield Mjolnir. The hammer laid on the Moon, mostly untouched, where it was eventually lifted by its new wielder, Thor's former lover, Jane Foster. During this time, the inscription of the enchantment changed to "if she be worthy."; During Hydra's takeover of the United States, Jane Foster was separated from the hammer and an alternate evil version of Captain America lifted it to prove the worthiness of his cause. Without his knowledge, Madame Hydra had used a Cosmic Cube shard to alter the hammer's enchantment so it could be lifted by the "strongest" rather than the "worthy." When the real Steve Rogers returned and confronted his evil self, the alterations to Mjolnir had faded away, and the evil Captain America failed to lift the hammer when he tried to. Following the defeat of the evil Captain America, Mjolnir was returned to Jane Foster.; Jane Foster had been fighting cancer even before lifting Mjolnir. Unfortunately for her, all progress from chemotherapy became lost whenever she used Mjolnir to transform into Thor. Since the magical transformation purged all toxins from Jane's body, it did so to the chemotherapy drugs, but left the cancer behind since it was part of her body. Jane attempted to let go of using Mjolnir for the sake of her health, but saw herself forced to return to action to confront the Mangog, even if that meant that she would die if she transformed back one last time. Following an arduous fight, Jane tied the Mangog up with Gleipnir, the chains originally created to bind the Fenris Wolf, and fastened them to Mjolnir so she could hurl the monster into the Sun. With the Mangog dead and Mjolnir destroyed, Jane returned to her human form and succumbed to her cancer; however, she was successfully revived by the Asgardians and the God Tempest, which had been set free following Mjolnir's destruction. Jane later handed Thor a small piece of Mjolnir she was able to retrieve.; Near the end of the War of the Realms, Thor nailed himself to Yggdrasil, which was growing out of the surface of the Sun to gain knowledge on how to rescue his parents from the clutches of Malekith. Thor was forced to sacrifice one of his eyes and the last remaining shard of Mjolnir in his possession to unlock the answers. During the final battle against Malekith, the God Tempest manifested in the Sun, and Thor commanded it from Earth to reforge his weapon. The restored Mjolnir then made landfall at Thor's feet, becoming able to wield it once again upon his realization that the constant struggle to be worthy was itself what made him worthy. Its inscription was also changed to "if they be worthy." However, unbeknownst to Thor, Mangog's dark essence was absorbed by the reforged Mjolnir and melded with that of the God Tempest, giving the hammer sentience.; Despite becoming worthy again, Thor noticed Mjolnir becoming heavier to lift after becoming Asgard's new All-Father, the will of the hammer deeming him unworthy of wielding it. After performing a test in Broxton, Thor discovered that something had happened to Mjolnir's worthiness enchantment, causing everyone else to become worthy to wield Mjolnir while it became more difficult for him to wield it. Thor eventually deduced that this was because - as king - he was no longer Asgard's lead warrior, and he left the unruly hammer at Avengers Mountain for safekeeping. Manifesting a feminine humanoid avatar from the God Tempest's divine lightning, Mjolnir embarked on a rampage across the Ten Realms; committing a genocide against the dwarves of Nidavellir and annihilating the city of Broxton. When confronted by Thor, Mjolnir's avatar dubbed herself the "God of Hammers" after a prophecy said to bring about Asgard's ruination. Shattering one of Thor's arms, the God of Hammers was stopped from killing him by the intervention of Odin and Sif, who used the Bifrost to transport Mjolnir to the farthest reaches of the cosmos. Mjolnir returned within seconds and broke Odin's spine, revealing to Thor that being "worthy" of Mjolnir had never been about being a noble warrior or true of heart, but having the bloodlust and will to use the hammer for its intended purpose: as a weapon. Sneering that she had grown bored of his speeches and politicking, the God of Hammers revealed that after being reforged she had absorbed the Mangog's dark essence and was consumed by its ineffable rage and hatred. After Odin sacrificed himself to bestow Thor with the entirety of the Power of the All-Father, an enraged Thor teleported the God of Hammers to the forge where Mjolnir was made, the Godmaker. Igniting the forge with the heat of a billion suns, Thor burned the God Tempest's corrupted essence out of the hammer, shattering it in the process.; With Thor lapsing into the Odinsleep for four months, his sister Angela enlisted the Angels of Heven to gather the pieces and restore it, leaving Mjolnir seemingly powerless and covered in glowing golden cracks, and Odin's spirit now inhabiting it as he was unable to rest in Valhalla, due to it being completely empty.; During a conflict between Thor and the Hulk, Odin took control of Mjolnir to help Thor. Upon the arrival of Iron Man, who began to fight the Hulk, Thor was transformed into a gamma mutate as a collateral damage of a gargantuan explosion caused by Hulk. As Thor was fighting the Savage Hulk, Banner asked Odin for help. Odin agreed and piloted Mjolnir to Hulk, allowing Banner to regain control of Hulk as well as bestowing the power of Thor to Hulk. Unable to stop Thor even with the help of the Hulk, Odin finally used Mjolnir to completely purge Thor's gamma energy, returning him to normal. After the return of Valhalla, Odin's spirit left Mjolnir to pass to the afterlife guided by the light of Valkyrie's Undrjarn.; Thor eventually used his divine lightning and the All-Power to reforge and fix Mjolnir's cracks, while also making it stronger than ever before. Mjolnir was at the crux of Thor's plan to defeat Toranos. He reformed the Thor Corp from those who had once wielded the hammer (Loki, Storm, Beta Ray Bill, and Jane Foster) and they passed it between themselves so that all of them had the power of Thor at once. This was done to bait Toranos into taking the hammer for himself, and when he did Thor granted him a sense of compassion that left him stricken with guilt. ============================================================ Mobile Armored Cyber-Harness Kind: item Page: Mobile Armored Cyber-Harness Formal name: Mobile Armored Cyber-Harness Other aliases: Mechanized Aerial Combat Harness Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 449 Created by: Kurt Busiek; Mark Bagley Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Jenkins' creation to replace his old Beetle armor.

History: One of six Infinity Gems that grants its user control over reality. According to the most commonly accepted origin story, the six gems were once part of an all-powerful being who committed suicide out of loneliness. Its power survived and manifested as six gems.; ===Soul Gems===; For a long time, knowledge of the true nature of the Gems was unknown and the six were known collectively as "Soul Gems", with much of their powers unrealized by their users. The one that would eventually be identified as the Mind Gem turned up on the planet Deneb IV. Somehow, the Kree Supreme Intelligence knew of it and mentally manipulated natives of the planet to unearth it as part of a subtle step in a byzantine plot to eventually control the dormant power of Rick Jones. The Supreme Intelligence besieged the planet with destructive automatons and ensured Jones and his partner, Captain Marvel would become stranded there at a point when their minds were in danger of merging. The leader of the Denebian underground resistance, who was in the possession of the gem, offered Mar-Vell and Rick a solution to their plight by having their minds enter the Gem to sort themselves out, but the process manifested as a violent mental struggle that was broadcast to the planet's inhabitants by the Gem, intensifying the already bloody war across its surface. This was secretly the intention of the resistance's cyborg General, whose mechanically indifferent mind saw a violently definitive end to the war as the only path to peace. Rambu, a less-cyberized soldier of the resistance, attempted to prevent this when he learned of the General's plan, and with the help of a mental construct of Rick's, went into the Gem to break up the partners' fight. Captain Marvel and Rick Jones emerged from the Gem with their minds intact and were able to continue on their journey to confront the Supreme Intelligence. The Gem remained abandoned in the resistance tunnels beneath Deneb IV, having lost its purpose to the Denebians.; The Gem was shortly thereafter picked up by Thanos on a quest to collect them all. Thanos combined the Gem with four others and siphoned energies from the sixth to create a giant synthetic Gem with the intent of destroying the stars of the universe with its absolute power. The combined efforts of Warlock, Captain Marvel, and the Avengers thwarted Thanos' plan and destroyed the combined Gem.; For a time, the five combined Gems were thought to be destroyed, but a conclave of the Elders of the Universe eventually learned that they could not be truly destroyed in such a manner and that they were actually scattered across the universe. Having a plan to use the Gems to further their ambitions, the Elders set out to gather them together again. The Kree discovered the one that would later be identified as the Mind Gem and delivered it to the Supreme Intelligence, who equipped it to assist in keeping the blue and pink Kree components of its mind out of conflict. When the Silver Surfer came to confront the Supreme Intelligence about the Kree's aggression against worlds under his protection, the Intelligence used the Gem to absorb the Surfer into its collective as a way to conquer him. The Elder Contemplator had been attempting without success to negotiate with the Intelligence to obtain the Gem. Given the opportunity presented, Contemplator reached out to the Surfer's mind within the Supreme Intelligence, giving him the chance to summon his board and break free of the collective with the Gem in hand. Without the Gem, the Supreme Intelligence quickly descended into madness, rendering it functionally disabled for some time.; The Elders had gathered the other five Gems and only needed the one now held by the Silver Surfer. Knowing he opposed them, they took steps to hold his lady loves Shalla-Bal and Mantis hostage. Though both women begged Surfer to sacrifice them rather than allow the Elders to win, the Surfer handed the Gem over. The Elders then sent the force bubble holding the hostages hurtling through space to explode, giving the Surfer only enough time to rescue one of them, him choosing Shalla-Bal. With the Surfer presumably out of the way, the Elders combined the six gathered Gems into a space platform aligned with a star system with six desolate planets the Gems could resonate with, setting up a trap for Galactus. Their apparatus would steal planetary energies from Galactus, channeling them into the planets, thus killing Galactus and subsequently Eternity due to the loss of balance that Galactus maintained. The universe would end and be reborn, with only the Elders surviving due to their earlier victory over Death and as such be true Elders of the new universe as Galactus had been in theirs. Though the Elders successfully trapped Galactus, they failed to handle interference from his heralds. While the Silver Surfer blocked the ray from the Gem apparatus, Nova detonated the star at the center of the system, creating a black hole that consumed the Gems and some of the Elders, saving Galactus.; The Elders joined with the In-Betweener in a further scheme to kill Galactus, retrieving the Gems from the black hole, but they were thwarted again by the Silver Surfer. Lord Chaos and Master Order became involved and redistributed the Gems among the In-Betweener and the Elders afterwards, with the one that would soon be revealed as the Mind Gem entrusted to the Grandmaster.; ===Infinity Gauntlet===; Thanos learned of the Gems' true nature as Infinity Gems from the Infinity Well and set out to gather them once more in a quest to become a god worthy of being Death's consort. The Grandmaster's blue Gem was the last one he needed, and by that time the Grandmaster had prepared intricate safeguards against the approaching Titan. Rather than wield the Gem, he locked it behind impenetrable security and proposed a virtual duel to Thanos with all the Gems as the prize. Grandmaster had secretly begun to fathom the true potential of the Gems as well and was glad to let Thanos collect the other five up to that point so he could claim them all at once. He sabotaged Thanos' weapons to guarantee his victory in the duel, but Thanos cheated as well, sending a robotic duplicate to fight in his place. While Grandmaster was thus occupied, the real Thanos disabled the game and claimed the unlocked Mind Gem, noting that if his opponent had made the better choice to wear it on his person, he might have used its attributes to detect his duplicity.; When Thanos assembled all six Gems into his Infinity Gauntlet, he had the power and knowledge to achieve anything he desired, except he found he still didn't know what it would take for Death to return his affection. He attempted various grand gestures, eventually creating a great shrine to Death and fulfilling his promise to her to kill half the population of the universe, removing them from existence with a snap of his fingers. No matter what he did, Death continued to regard him with silent disdain. He became increasingly unstable in his frustration and when a coalition of surviving heroes came to confront him, he was compelled to attempt to entertain Death by limiting his own abilities and giving his enemies a minute chance of victory. He swore off the use of all the Gems except Power in the ensuing battle. Though he defeated many of his opponents through manipulations of time, space, and reality, he kept true to his vow not to read his opponents' minds, allowing himself to be surprised at their tactics. After neutralizing them all, Thanos reclaimed full control of the Gems just in time to face an alliance of Cosmic Beings. When Death stood with the other Abstracts against him, Thanos lost his last vestige of patience and subdued them all, imprisoning them in an energy field. Upon defeating Eternity, he took their place as an abstract being one with the universe. This meant abandoning his physical body, which was still wearing the Gauntlet. Nebula, who up to that point was a helpless bystander being tortured by her grandfather for his amusement, seized the opportunity and stole the Gauntlet. She quickly used the Gauntlet to reset the timeline by 24 hours, more so to spite Thanos' accomplishments than to set things right. She lacked the experience or understanding to make full effective use of the Gems, so Adam Warlock, who had formed more of a connection to the Gems through his time within the Soul Gem, was able to hide from her and eventually separate her from the Gauntlet to claim it for himself. Pledging to be a more worthy supreme being, Warlock ended the conflict and sent everyone on their way.; ===Infinity Watch===; Warlock did not hold the Infinity Gauntlet for long before Eternity brought his case to the Living Tribunal that the young god was no more suited to hold omnipotence than Thanos. The Tribunal ruled that Warlock disperse the Gems so that no individual could misuse their combined might. Warlock decided to split the Gems among friends and allies he knew would not or could not abuse their potential. He gave the Mind Gem to Moondragon to augment her already formidable mental powers, though he admitted he didn't fully trust her and had set certain safeguards to make sure she would not betray him or use the Gem for evil.; Shortly after the Gems' distribution, the Man-Beast abducted Moondragon along with Drax, Gamora, and Pip, and trapped them in a machine to sap their Gems' power and create a vicious energy creature under his control called the Infinity Thrall. Warlock defeated the Man-Beast by causing the destruction of the machine, dispelling the Thrall and freeing the others. Afterwards, the five Gem-holders agreed to stick together as a team known as the Infinity Watch.; Moondragon would use the Gem to support her existing telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Despite the Gem's advantage, she still occasionally lost in mental battles and found that she was unable to read the minds of members of the Watch, as well as Thanos. At first, she was unable to penetrate the mental blocks on the amnesiac Maxam, but with Drax and Warlock adding the effects of the Power and Soul Gems, they were able to get a brief glimpse of the mystery man's sealed memories.; At one point Moondragon relinquished the Mind Gem to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet as part of a scheme by Warlock to stop the Magus from making the universe collide with his doppelganger dimension. Ostensibly, Warlock would prepare to use the Gauntlet while Galactus took Gamora to meet with Eternity and the Living Tribunal to reverse the ruling on using the Gems in unison, but it instead turned out to be a trap to draw the Magus out of hiding. Magus stole the Infinity Gauntlet to achieve godhood just as the ruling was reversed, but he didn't realize the Reality Gem included was a fake. Without it, Magus was vulnerable to Warlock's counterattack, who wrested the supreme power with the assistance of Eternity and Infinity who represented the reality Magus lacked control over. With Magus and his threat vanquished, the Infinity Gems were returned to the Infinity Watch and the ban on the Gems' combination was reinstated.; At a time when Thor had gone mad and was irrationally attacking anyone he encountered, including the Infinity Watch, Moondragon used her Gem to manifest the personification of Thor's insanity, a black-armored Valkyrie. While it made the nature of Thor's condition more visible to the others, it didn't help much as the Valkyrie was able to join Thor in the fight. Later, when the Infinity Watch invaded the dimension of Count Abyss to challenge the omnipotent despot, Abyss was able to defeat the Watch mostly by mystically turning the power of the Gems against their owners. Moondragon attempted to fight Abyss psychically, but lost and had her senses sealed in darkness until Abyss was defeated. Afterwards, Moondragon briefly lost the Gem once more when Strange attacked the team in an attempt to steal them all. The sorcerer's shade gave up and returned the Gems upon realizing they couldn't work together.; When Moondragon was gravely injured in battle, the Watch considered electing a new guardian for the Gem, but even comatose she was able to telepathically act by piggybacking on the consciousness of Drax and Warlock. When Maxam regained his memories and attempted to kill Warlock before he could become the Magus, Moondragon planted a mental node in Maxam's mind that would make him believe he accomplished his mission even though Warlock lived. Just before the illusion played out, the Infinity Gems all inexplicably vanished from the universe. Nonetheless, the illusion played out as programmed. Moondragon maintained much of her psychic might even without the Mind Gem.; ===Ultraverse===; While details are inconsistent, the cause of the Gems' disappearance was Rune of the Ultraverse, who had just been accidentally transported to Earth-616 and quickly became obsessed with the Infinity Gems upon sensing their power. He somehow first stole the Time Gem and used it to freeze time, then proceeded to take the other five Gems from their owners in the space between instants. The Living Tribunal, unaffected by time manipulation and sensing the imminent violation of his decree against the union of the Gems, brought the Silver Surfer into the frozen time and charged him with preventing it at all costs. The Surfer soon found Rune wearing the Soul Gem on his forehead and the other five arranged on his right-hand knuckles in a pattern similar to the Infinity Gauntlet. The Soul Gem's will was supplanting Rune's own and forcing him to open a rift to his home dimension. At that point, the Surfer attacked Rune, with a blast of the Power Cosmic to his hand dispersing the five Gems on it into the vortex, causing them and Rune to scatter throughout the Ultraverse and restarting the normal flow of time in Earth-616.; The Mind Gem landed in the Canoga Park Zoo of Los Angeles of Earth-93060. A chimp named Bobo ate it and quickly became a local curiosity with its ability to communicate through coherent written English. Loki, who had detected the Infinity Gems' arrival in the Ultraverse and was trying to collect them, sent Primevil to retrieve the Mind Gem. Under Loki's influence, Primevil killed Bobo and took the Gem, but what Loki didn't account for was Primevil being compelled to equip the Gem himself. With his intelligence greatly increased, Primevil attempted to court Mantra while dodging Loki. Mantra, trying to get rid of Primevil, tracked Loki back to Vahdala to confront him. During the fight, Primevil tried to absorb Loki, but Loki allowed it, confident his will would dominate. Mantra broke them up by dislodging the Mind Gem, returning Primevil to his savage state and allowing Loki to add the Gem to his collection.; The Grandmaster, who had been looking for an opportunity to reclaim the Mind Gem, followed its trail to the Ultraverse. There he encountered Sersi, who had become possessed by a seventh Gem that had been residing in the Ultraverse the whole time. Coming to an accord, Grandmaster then approached Loki with a challenge. If he won, he would get the Mind Gem back, and if Loki won, Grandmaster would tell him what he knew of the seventh Gem that he had yet to collect. Loki tried to use the Mind Gem to pull the information from Grandmaster's thoughts, but the rapport he had formed during his time with the Gem allowed Grandmaster to guard his mind save for the truth of the promise he brought. Loki eventually agreed to Grandmaster's game and won, though his "prize" came in the form of Sersi, who only wanted a chance to get close to Loki so the Ego Gem could merge with the other six. The Infinity Gems incarnated into a being called Nemesis, who attempted to use her creative forces to remake the two universes. Even the seven Gems together did not make a cohesive whole, however, and the Ego Gem's consciousness found itself at odds with some of the voices of the other Gems. This weakness allowed heroes of the two universes to fight back against her, and ultimately Black Knight struck a decisive blow on her crown where the Gems were stored, destroying the Ego Gem and scattering the other six in an explosion of creative force that would send everyone back where they belonged while restructuring the Ultraverse from the ground up.; The remains of the Ego Gem's essence was split among the Power, Soul, Mind, and Space Gems, allowing them each to take on autonomous living forms that shared Nemesis' malicious intents. The Time and Reality Gems, whose individual consciousnesses rebelled against the others in the interest of preserving the fabric of existence, remained in their original forms and found other hosts in the reforming Ultraverse to mitigate the chaos in Nemesis' wake. The Mind Gem's living form appeared as a green humanoid alien with an exceptionally large brain. Its exploits in this form before turning up in its original Gem form again in Earth-616 are unknown.; ===JLA/Avengers===; When the activities of the cosmically powerful Krona caused the Marvel and DC universes to begin bleeding into each other, the Grandmaster manipulated heroes from each world into collecting objects of power, including the Infinity Gems, ostensibly for the purpose of averting the coming disaster. The Gems turned up on Apokolips, assembled by Darkseid into the Infinity Gauntlet, but when he realized the device was powerless outside its home reality, he discarded it, allowing the JLA to collect it for their side. When all the objects of power were assembled, Grandmaster combined their energies to forcibly bind the universes together in a failing attempt to neutralize Krona. The Grandmaster died and the objects fell into Krona's control, who attempted to make the two universes destroy each other to accomplish his goal of witnessing the birth of the next reality. The heroes of both worlds joined forces to stop Krona, destroying the containment device for the objects of power, allowing the universes to reorder themselves. The Infinity Gems were thus returned to their home universe along with everything else.; ===Galactus & Hunger===; Galactus was the next to assemble the Gems, having come to believe they could provide him with an alternate form of sustenance. Rather than freeing him from his hunger, he was actually freeing Hunger, a reality-devouring entity that was subconsciously manipulating him into opening a passage to his universe. Upon completing the set, Galactus affixed the Gems to a focusing crux connected to his ship, opening the way for Hunger. Realizing his mistake, Galactus attempted to fight Hunger, but it was ultimately the efforts of Thanos and his ally, Pip, that cut Hunger off by destroying the ship, separating the Soul Gem from the focusing crux, and crushing them beneath the weaponized planet Rigel-3. The other Gems were once again scattered across the cosmos by the blast.; ===Illuminati===; After She-Hulk gave the recovered Power Gem to Reed Richards for safekeeping, he considered the continual threat of the Gems, and so he assembled the Illuminati to discuss gathering the rest for security. Having already acquired Soul and Space through unrevealed means, he used the three Gems he had to locate the remainder. The Mind Gem was found in the form of the universal collective unconsciousness, which Professor X, Doctor Strange, and Namor accessed through Cerebra. Their own perceptions and expectations made the Gem appear as an immense ocean beneath their feet, and summoned a nightmarish sea monster to protect it. Together, they fought back these projections and retrieved the Gem. With the completed Infinity Gauntlet, Reed attempted to will it out of existence but nothing happened. He then offered it to the Watcher who had arrived to warn him against his actions, but was refused. He then decided it was best to divide the Gems among the members of the Illuminati to hide, protect, and never use for themselves, though Uatu suggested this was no less irresponsible in the long run. The Mind Gem was entrusted to Professor X.; Xavier secured the Gem in the Danger Room at the X Mansion protected by a special combat program designed to repel anyone attempting to reach it, even himself. (It's unclear if he implemented this before or after the emergence of Danger, but the window of time where it could have happened is around the same.) Even after the destruction of the mansion, the program continued to function. Parker Robbins, guided by the Reality Gem he had acquired earlier, was in the process of collecting the others and the Illuminati teamed up with the Avengers to stop him, splitting up to secure the remaining Gems first. Xavier took most of the Avengers with him to fight the Danger Room program in the ruins of the mansion, but before they could unlock the final layer of security, the Hood teleported in with the aid of the Space Gem he had recently acquired and grabbed it first. With its mental powers, he was able to withstand Xavier's psychic assault and later see through an illusory disguise Doctor Strange used to protect the Soul Gem. In the end, the Hood's inexperience with the Gems' powers was unable to keep up with the Avengers' tactics and he lost the ones he had to Iron Man, who used the completed Infinity Gauntlet to return the Hood to prison and then make it appear to the assembled Avengers that he removed the Gems from existence. Instead, he actually hid them until the Illuminati, now with Steve Rogers on their side, could convene to redistribute the Gems for better safekeeping. Xavier remained in charge of the Mind Gem.; After Xavier's death, the Gem and his position in the Illuminati were bequeathed to his student, Beast. When the Illuminati attempted to use the Infinity Gauntlet to push away another universe that was colliding with Earth-616, the Mind Gem shattered.; ===Infinity Wars===; Following the destruction of the entire Multiverse and its eventual restoration, the destroyed Infinity Gems were recreated and scattered across the universe. The Mind Gem (now colored yellow) fell in the hands of a group of monks that attempted to take it to Doctor Strange for safekeeping. On their way to the Sanctum Sanctorum, they were attacked by Skrulls. Petty thug Turk Barrett stumbled into the fight, and got hold of the stone. After feeling a taste of the Mind Stone's power, Turk fled with it while the battling factions killed each other. Turk used the stone to build a criminal empire, gaining the loyalty of fellow criminals he helped with the Mind Stone's power. Doctor Strange eventually found out about Turk and tried to convince him to hand over the Mind Stone. However, Turk managed to distract him, using the Mind Stone to force bystanders into attempting to commit suicide, and slipped away. Stephen opted against taking the Mind Stone from Turk by force, believing it might be fate that he had to wield it.; When Doctor Strange convened parley between the wielders of the Infinity Stones to form the Infinity Watch, a fight broke out when tensions between Turk, his henchmen and the rest of the Infinity Watch escalated. The meeting was further disrupted by the arrival of Gamora, who had already claimed the Power Stone as part of her plan to collect all Infinity Stones and reunite with a part of herself trapped within the Soul Gem. In the middle of the chaos, Doctor Strange teleported himself and Turk to another dimension, and convinced him to hand over the Mind Stone, no longer believing that it was his fate to wield it. However, not long afterwards, Gamora managed to steal the Mind Stone from Strange, as well as the Time Stone that was also in his possession. She would end up claiming all Infinity Stones in the end.; Gamora folded the universe in half and merged the two halves together, sending the new universe into a pocket universe called Warp World inside the Soul Gem so the merged souls would become prey to the monstrous Devondra. While waiting for Warp World's destruction, Gamora traveled to the God Quarry to investigate what laid beneath it. Inside Warp World, Loki rallied a group of heroes called the Cosmic Avengers to stop Gamora, and they escaped from the Soul Gem using copies of the Infinity Stones found within Warp World which Gamora had unwittingly brought into existence when she created Warp World. Ms. Marvel's incorruptible soul earned her the Mind Stone.; The Cosmic Avengers confronted Gamora and took the Power, Reality and Space Stones from her. Loki in turn took these stones for himself in addition to the copies of the Soul, Time and Mind Stones, thus assembling a complete set of Infinity Stones. He used the stones to send Gamora to Warp World before transporting himself to the unknown realm that existed beneath the Quarry of Creation, where he found a group of Celestials guarding a deposit of countless Infinity Stones.; Loki returned from beneath the Quarry of Creation, and used his Infinity Stones to render the surplus gems inert. He handed over his set to the Cosmic Avengers so they could repair the universe. After returning to Soul World and defeating Devondra, the Cosmic Avengers joined forces with Adam Warlock to restore the universe while keeping Warp World intact within the Soul Gem. Adam Warlock then used the Soul Gem to flee Soul World with the Cosmic Avengers and his allies while Drax the Destroyer sacrificed himself to keep the portal leading to the real universe open. After sending Gamora someplace to set her on a path of redemption, Adam Warlock decided to give the Infinity Stones sentience and let them decide their destinies in order to stop the conflicts over their power.; ==Properties==; The Mind Stone gives its owner psionic powers like telepathy and telekinesis or can augment the preexisting mental powers of its user. Because of the circuit formed by the Infinity Stones, how much of the Mind Stone's potential somebody can tap into depends on the strength of their soul, meaning that possession of the Soul Gem allows for a better use of the Mind Stone. In turn, possession of the Mind Stone allows for better control of the Power Stone. Furthermore, when used in conjunction with the other gems, it can link its user with all other minds in the universe at once.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; ===Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610)===; The Mind Gem in this reality is said to have been created when Odin defeated Hidelbard, the most astute giant in Jotunheim. Odin fell the giant and used his own sword's magic to steal his intelligence. However, the intensity of Hidelbard's mind caused the fabric of the Nine Worlds to collapse and concentrate Hidelbard's power into a gem.; At some point in time, the Gem fell into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s possession, and it was stored in Project Pegasus for a decade. It was stolen by Modi when he assaulted Pegasus' facility to arm the Hydra troops under his command. He used it to take control of Thor's mind and force innocent people into joining his army.; When Modi and his troops were attacked by S.H.I.E.L.D., Modi used the Gem to project into Captain America's mind a perfect dream world, in order to break his will. However, Rogers snapped out of it. After getting hold of his shield, which had been taken by the mentally-controlled Thor, Captain America destroyed the spear Modi was using to hold the Gem, breaking Modi's control over everyone. Before Modi could retrieve the Gem, which went missing after falling to the ground, Thor killed him.; The Gem was later retrieved by S.H.I.E.L.D., and it prompted the Invisible Woman to search for the other Gems. Five were identified, but only four retrieved. The Mind Gem and the other four Gems were stolen by the Dark Ultimates, who attempted to assemble the Infinity Gauntlets.; Shortly after Tony Stark got his hands on all of the eight Infinity Gems, a tear in the fabric of reality caused by a Wolverine echoed through the Multiverse, and shattered the Infinity Gems.; ===2010s Marvel Animated Universe (Earth-12041)===; In this universe, the Red Skull stole the Infinity Stones (as they are called, instead of "Infinity Gems") from his master Thanos and returned to Earth. He had his ship heavily damaged, which caused the Stones to be scattered all over the Earth. The Mind Stone supposedly sought M.O.D.O.C., who used its power to extend his abilities to control minds. He used the Mind Stone to take complete control over S.H.I.E.L.D., as a mean to try to destroy the Avengers. When the Avengers discovered M.O.D.O.K. was behind S.H.I.E.L.D.'s odd behavior, they attempted to reclaim the Mind Stone. The confrontation ended up with the Stone transferring the Avengers' mind into different bodies from their teammates. While the Avengers escaped from S.H.I.E.L.D. while trying to get used to inhabiting another body, M.O.D.O.K. mind was transferred into the Tricarrier.; M.O.D.O.K. used S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to build equipment to transfer his mind back to his body while still having control over the Tricarrier. However, the Avengers managed to stop him and claim the Mind Stone.; The Stone was contained with the other three that had been retrieved by the Avengers, under special care by Tony Stark. However, the Black Widow noticed that Tony was slowly being corrupted by the Stones. She sneaked into the vault and stole them, with the intention to send them to Asgard for safekeeping. Their plan failed, and they resorted to Doctor Strange so he could bury them between realities. However, Dormammu appeared shortly after to take the gems. Black Widow was forced to wield the Stones in order to vanish him back to his dimension. After initially falling into the Stones' influence, Natasha was capable of resisting their control and reject them. However, as soon as she stripped of the Stones, Thanos returned, and assembled the Infinity Gauntlet with the Power Stone that was already in his possession.; Using the Gauntlet, Thanos created a citadel near Earth's orbit, and started modifying Earth's climate, causing anomalies around the globe. In order to defeat him, the Avengers got Thanos to fight them with each individual Stone. He used the Mind Gem to fuel them with anger and make them fight each other, however, the Hulk managed to get them to focus their rage and attack Thanos, for which the Titan decided to stop its influence over them.; After getting the readings of each individual Stone, Iron Man activated Arsenal, who seized the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos. When the Avengers returned to Earth, it was revealed a backdoor left in the robot's programming allowed Ultron to possess him. Arsenal was re-shaped into Ultron, and the evil A.I. revealed itself. The five Stones were drained of their power by Ultron.; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; The Mind Stone was originally housed in the scepter given to Loki by Thanos to aid in his invasion of Earth. Placed within the scepter, the stone granted its wielder the power to enslave others' minds. When Loki was defeated, the scepter was taken into the custody of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Sleeper Hydra agents smuggled the scepter into Sokovia, where Baron Strucker began using it to experiment with human enhancement. However, only two subjects survived the process: Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.; After capturing the scepter from Strucker in a raid with his fellow Avengers, Tony Stark analyzed it and determined that it contained an advanced AI, which could be used to bring about his vision of a global peacekeeping program called Ultron. However, Ultron was an immediate failure, and the AI stole the scepter away again. Thor subjected himself to a vision which clarified that the scepter contained the Mind Stone, one of six Infinity Stones. Ultron used the Mind Stone to empower a perfect organic metal body for himself. In capturing the android body, the Avengers reacquired the Mind Stone, and after it came to life with benevolent programming it proved to them that it was an ally rather than a threat. The android, then calling himself the Vision, aided the Avengers in defeating Ultron. Thor subsequently opted to leave the Mind Stone in the Vision's care, both because the Vision had demonstrated his good character by lifting Mjolnir, and also because the stone seemed safe in the Vision's care.; Wanda's abilities were connected to the Mind Stone, as she could manipulate Vision because of it, such as controlling his ability to change his density against his will. She also was capable of destroying the stone (along with Vision), which she did when it became apparent Thanos was inevitably going to retrieve the stone. However, Thanos used the Time Stone to reverse time and make the Mind Stone whole again. He ripped it from Vision's head and added the stone to his Infinity Gauntlet, completing his collection of the Infinity Stones, before killing half the population of the universe. Three weeks later, Thanos destroyed the Mind Stone along with the other Infinity Stones.; ===2012 New York Time Heist (Earth-TRN732)===; In this reality, the Mind Stone shared its history with its Earth-199999 counterpart up until 2012, after the Battle of New York. Following Loki's defeat, Hydra agents Jasper Sitwell and Brock Rumlow took the Mind Stone, but they were intercepted by the future Captain America, who claimed to be an agent of Hydra and acquired the scepter. Captain America soon encountered his past self and put him to sleep with the Mind Stone's. Later, after using the Infinity Stones to resurrect half of the universe, Rogers returned the Mind Stone to its place in time. ============================================================ Moebius Stone Kind: item Page: Moebius Stone Formal name: Moebius Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Secret Defenders Vol 1 15 Created by: Tom Brevoort; Mike Kanterovich; Gerald DeCaire Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Agamotto Previous owners: Malachi History: The Moebius Stone was a mystical artifact forged by Agamotto, imbued with limited control over time. It possessed the power to resurrect the dead, absorb the life-force of others, and either accelerate or reverse the flow of time within a localized area. However, its use occasionally triggered unpredictable time-related side effects.; Thousands of years ago, Malachi, a powerful sorceress, and her lover Korahn discovered Agamotto’s Moebius Stone in their search for immortality. The duo clashed with Agamotto's guardian and their battle shattered the Stone, scattering its fragments across the world. Though Korahn perished, Malachi was kept alive by a fragment of the stone and began her hunt to recover the rest.; Malachi tracked one of the Moebius Stone’s fragments to a sword hilt on display at the Chicago Museum of Art. After a brief clash with Dr. Druid and his Secret Defenders, she escaped and regained her strength by draining the life force of a teenage boy. This led her to another fragment hidden in a nearby graveyard. Confronted once more by the Secret Defenders, she nevertheless succeeded in reclaiming the final piece and reassembling the Moebius Stone. With its full power, she unleashed a global wave of accelerated aging and vitality loss. She then resurrected Korahn, only for him to reject her, declaring he would rather remain dead than live forever. While she was distracted by his rejection, Deadpool fatally stabbed her and took the Stone.; Though Malachi was defeated, the Moebius Stone drew the attention of a mysterious being known only as Strange, a mystical pseudo-clone of Doctor Strange. Seeking to collect powerful magical artifacts for his creator, Strange attempted to seize the Moebius Stone. When Cadaver stood in his way, Strange also tried to take the Sword of Bone, but the weapon resisted him. Ultimately, Dr. Druid destroyed the Moebius Stone making Strange lost interest in the fight and depart. ============================================================ Mobile Armored Utility Laser Emitter, Revisited Kind: item Page: Mobile Armored Utility Laser Emitter, Revisited Formal name: Mobile Armored Utility Laser Emitter, Revisited Other aliases: Mauler Type: Armor First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 167 Created by: David Michelinie; Frank Miller Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Built for S.H.I.E.L.D.

As such, the young man kidnapped a baby during just such a night and brought it to the graveyard to be exchanged. This was not, however, actually how the deal went and the man was also forced to exchange his soul for his wish to be granted. He wished to be the fastest gun in the West and he was granted this in the form of the "Midnight Gun".; The stipulation for the use of the gun was that it only made him a fast gunslinger at night, and that his soul would be paid to the demon immediately upon death. The gun also never needed loading. The boy immediately set off back into town and got drunk at the local saloon. When he heard that the famous bounty hunter Gunhawk was also in town, the boy challenged him to a draw. Sure enough, the boy had been the fastest draw by a mile, but he had never bothered to practice his aim and missed the Gunhawk, who then shot the young man dead.

The clip held up to three mini-missiles.; Doom once armed one of his Doombots with this device and sent it to the Avengers Mansion. The Doombot found Avengers Sandman and Vision, and shot them one of the missiles. Vision avoided it reducing his mass to minimum so that the projectile went through his body; Sandman used his powers to create a hole for the missile to pass. Vision tried to warn Sandman of the back blast, but he was too slow: The blast scattered Sandman's sand-like body and slammed Vision. Vision recovered and confronted the Doombot again; when the Doombot shot him the other two missiles, Vision increased his mass up to ten times the density of depleted Uranium and resisted the impacts.; After defeating the Doombot, the Avengers impounded the launcher.

It would have used their mindless husks as its own personal weapons, in particular, it wanted to use Jones's powers to destroy Earth, by using the Destiny Force, which Jones had previously employed during the Kree-Skrull War; by doing so, it intended to prevent any Earth human whose power was a match for its own from ever arising. However, Jones nullified its powers by firing anti-matter nuclear missiles into the sun. This created a massive solar flare that neutralized all the machines, including the Supreme Intelligence, around them. In doing so, he and "Marv" seemingly stopped the effects of the flower.; ===Usage by Ronan the Accuser===; After Ronan the Accuser, under the mind control of the Supreme Intelligence, captured Carol Danvers, the most recent Captain Marvel of Earth-616, who was then calling herself "Ms. Marvel," he tried to use the Millennia Bloom, a specimen of which he had locked up in stasis, to perform the same ritual he had tried to perform on Rick Jones. He wanted to exploit the flower to separate the human and Kree aspects of Danvers's physiology, and then to utilize the latter to create a new and improved Kree race. However, what neither Ronan nor the Supreme Intelligence counted on was the fact that Danvers's mind and soul were whole, and thus, Ronan was unable to complete the procedure. ============================================================ Mirror of Zaffar Kind: item Page: Mirror of Zaffar Formal name: Mirror of Zaffar Other aliases: Black Mirror of Zaffar; Black Mirror Type: Mirror First appearance: Creatures on the Loose Vol 1 22 Created by: Lin Carter; George Alec Effinger; Val Mayerik Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of destruction: Zangabal, Ptartha, Lemuria Previous owners: Athmar Phong History: In Zangabal, on Lemuria, the Black Mirror of Zaffar was a mystical mirror of black glass in which the magician Athmar Phong imprisoned the essence of the demon Aqquoonkagua.

If it was administered over several months, it completely destroyed the victim's will.; Fu Manchu combined mimosa with gasoline, and was going to demonstrate it to the president of a major international oil concern. Once he was convinced to join Zheng Zu, he would add mimosa to the barrels of gasoline that his gas stations sold. They would sell the gasoline cheaply to the masses, which would result in millions of American motor vehicles burning the gasoline and putting mimosa into America's air. Within three months the concentration of mimosa would have been such that the United States would have been Zheng Zu's to command. The ship carrying the mimosa-gasoline mixture was destroyed by Shang-Chi off the coast of Florida. ============================================================ Molecular Converter Kind: item Page: Molecular Converter Formal name: Molecular Converter Type: Technology First appearance: Yellow Claw Vol 1 3 Created by: Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Yellow Claw History: The Molecular Converter was a device that was built by Professor Ford, which could shrink human beings to the size of mice.

The end result as an Iron Man-like suit of armor that he designed for Mister Fantastic, leader of the Fantastic Four.; Mister Fantastic donned the armor for the final confrontation against the Cotati's leader Quoi in Wakanda, where he planned to plant a seed for a Death Blossom in the Vibranium-enriched soil of the Great Mound. Mister Fantastic joined the fight against Quoi minutes before the Death Blossom flowered, resulting in a fight that saw the destruction of the Death Blossom and the defeat of the Cotati.; Following the Cotati's invasion, Mister Fantastic intended to set his armor aside as a Christmas gift for his son Franklin. When the abstract entity known as the Griever at the End of All Things returned and attacked the Fantastic Four, Reed gave Franklin the suit as part of a plan to defeat their enemy. Franklin remotely piloted the suit to confront the Griever, luring her into 4 Yancy Street. Reed then collapsed the different pocket dimensions within the building, causing it to fold into itself in, an attempt to trap the Griever. While the building was subsequently restored, Reed didn't manage to restore every dimension that had been folded into the building, causing the loss of a portion of the team's equipment and belongings. Whether Mister Fantastic's armor was one of the pieces of equipment lost or not is unknown.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular Iron Man Armor, including flight and increased durability.

Having realized what it is and everything that it can do, the kingdom's top physicist went to work with the personal guard of the king to harness its emulative practices in order to arsenalize it for the protectorate's use. Unfortunately, its persona-copying aspect made the device unpredictably dangerous to use.; The Mimic's main faculty was its amorphous composition. Enabling it to take whatever shape & form both the utensil user and the item itself wishes too.; At its fullest gauge it possesses the ability to replicate the appearance, mindset and power template of anything or anyone it is faced with. Giving this weapon the power to imitate everything about the adversary it is faced against at a glance. The Mimic can also accommodate bio-fission to utilize multiple ability traits and paraphernalia from the various individuals it comes across. Growing ever stronger over a decent amount of time; becoming a personal army of metapowered projections.; The material comprising it is also highly self expressive, possessing a consciousness all its own. Using that self-awareness to better express the true powers and properties of Vibranium; from causing seismic events, to generating illusions, controlling fauna, and manipulating other forms of Vibranium. History: A specially crafted WMD of Wakandan design, created by the Dora Milaje using notes from Obinna Nwabueze's scientific thesis. Its primary component was discovered in certain cavernous areas near the Adored Ones' training grounds, in discovering the new Vibranium it is made of they came to realize it had replicative imprinting capabilities that would make it useful as a facility in the Dora's arsenal.; The Prof. and the Panther King's wives in training harvested all 27 lbs of the substance that would later comprise the Mimic and set out to harness it using sonic waves from drums outfitted with Treated Vibranium to better tithe & bind the seemingly sentient variant. But the device quickly proved too volatile and unpredictable.; It was instead decided to be kept away from prying eyes whom would be tempted to abuse the potential super battlement. Adored Ones handing it down as a hidden secret passed from sect member to sect member for a generation, until it was discovered and eventually stolen by Advanced Idea Mechanics. Seeking to understand and replicate the potential mega weapon but such plans were cut short when the facility carrying it capsized and sank off the coast of the New York Bay. Sensing opportunity, a former one of their number; the rogue Dora Nakia would seek out the Mimic before her hated sisterhood could acquire it.; Opting to use it in one amongst many inane scheme to attain the eye of her light's attentions before she died. But eventually, Malice lost control of it when Okoye broke the war drum used to guide and direct it. The mimic would rampage all across New York until a contingent of X-Men and Avengers staved it off until the Milaje could put a stop to it. ============================================================ Mists of Maalock Kind: item Page: Mists of Maalock Other aliases: Mists of Maalock Type: Spell First appearance: Fear Vol 1 14 Created by: Steve Gerber; Val Mayerik Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Cult of Zhered-Na History: The Mists of Maalock was a spell known and used by the Cult of Zhered-Na in the Everglades of Florida. In a ritual with the help of at least six cultists, the leader invoked the smog-like Mists. After a correct invocation, the vapors transversed vast voids of transdimensional space, then selected a voyager themselves, in a process that may take several hours or just a few minutes. The smoke then moved around the traveller and one possible companion, and both were transported to a different dimension. The return trip was not included in the same spell.; Due to a invasion of Netherworld Demons, the Cult went to the the swamp near Citrusville, which they suspected hosted the Nexus of All Realities, and invoked the Mists in an attempt to send someone to find the Tome of Zhered-Na, because the Demons could not invade Earth as long as the Tome was there. Cultist Brainard initially suspected that their leader, Joshua Kale, had stolen their grimoire the Tome of Zhered-Na, and that sin prevented the spell from working. He was promptly corrected when the Mists surrounded Kale's teenage granddaughter Jennifer and the Man-Thing creature dwelling the Swamp (neither of whom were cultists), then teleported them away to the world Sandt. Sandt inhabitant Dakimh the Enchanter quickly understood that the Mists of Maalock had transported them there to search for the Tome of Zhered-Na. ============================================================ Milfour's Dragonhelm Kind: item Page: Milfour's Dragonhelm Formal name: Milfour's Dragonhelm Type: Armor First appearance: Thunderbolts Annual Vol 2 1 Created by: Ben Acker; Ben Blacker; Matteo Lolli Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: W.A.N.D.

Sinister created an entire farm of Moira clones at different ages, with their X-Gene activated at specific points in time. Upon suffering a setback to his plans, he would download the knowledge from his brain directly into a suitable clone, then kill it, thus eliminating the entire timeline and sending the clone's consciousness back into the past at the moment of its "birth." In the past, Sinister would be able to browse the information on all timelines experienced by the clone, using this knowledge to adjust his own plans and schemes. Due to the sophistication of Moira's mutant ability, each clone could only be used up to 10 times.; ===Judgment Day===; Upon learning about Doctor Stasis, Sinister considered using his Moira Engine to reset the timeline with his newfound knowledge and investigate his other self, but decided against it in the end. Sinister had used his Moira Engine to try to undo Judgment Day. When Sinister realized that the Progenitor was going to kill everyone, he tried to undo it again, only to fail. The Progenitor knew about the Moira Engine and used its power to prevent Sinister from using it.; ===Sins of Sinister===; ====The X Lives of Moira VI====; Sinister later used the Moira Engine in a plot to corrupt the Quiet Council of Krakoa. He already had five clones developed beforehand, but because he did not want to go through Judgment Day again, he decided to clone two more Moiras. Moira VI was used to reset the timeline if Sinister failed; however, Sinister grossly underestimated the Council, especially Destiny, and used up nine of the ten attempts. On his final attempt, he was able to conceive a plan that killed Emma Frost, Charles Xavier, Exodus, and his main target, Hope Summers.; ====The Life of Moira VII: The First Decade====; Sinister activated Moira VII and was apprehended after the Quiet Council was revived. Sinister had long since inserted a copy of himself into all of Krakoa's DNA samples so he could corrupt every mutant revived via the Resurrection Protocols, but Hope had unknowingly been cleansing everyone of his tampering. Therefore, when the Council members were revived without Hope, Sinister's plan immediately took effect as he waited behind the scenes. The corrupted Council worked quickly to corrupt most other Krakoan mutants, even extending to humans, in pursuit of a world where everything was Sinsiter. Within a decade, Sinister and his proxies had taken over the Earth, eliminated any threats to their rule, and developed chimera clones.; Things took a turn when the others voted against him to war against the great galactic empires, as he had allowed them to retain too much of their personalities. Fearing that the interstellar conflict would crush the Earth, he decided to use his Moira Engine to reset the timeline, only to discover that his lab and Moiras were gone. Destiny and Orbis Stellaris had manipulated the Brotherhood of the Mutants into stealing the Moiras for them the day before.; ====The Life of Moira VII: The First Century====; Stellaris kept the Moiras inside the Center-Sun of his World Farm. Many decades later, after Destiny lost her wife, Mystique, she plotted with Storm and the Brotherhood to end the timeline. However, Storm had other plans; she had Destiny killed and then sacrificed herself to teleport the Moiras (and the entire World Farm) away from Stellaris, resulting in the latter's suicide. Storm's last wishes were for the Brotherhood to guard and/or disable the Moiras as there was still life and hope in the timeline, which would all end if it was reset.; ====The Life of Moira VII: The First Millennium====; A thousand years into this ruined timeline, Mother Righteous developed a magical virus to infect the Moira Engine so that when the timeline was reset, all the information she had gathered and power she had accrued would be sent to Mother Righteous in the past. Before she could do it, she was slain by her underlings when they learned that she had lied to them about her intentions. Moira MacTaggert retrieved the virus, sacrificed Righteous to activate it, and infected her own clones. Before she could reset the timeline, Sinister arrived and attempted to ascend to dominionhood, but found his path blocked, as a Nathaniel Essex Dominion already existed. Sinister was soon killed and Moira reset the timeline.; ====The Deaths of Moira I–VII====; In the second life of Moira VII, Sinister attempted to download information from the first life but received a recording of what happened from that timeline's Moira. The virus deactivated all the Moira clones' X-Gene and then destroyed them. It also cloned Rasputin IV from the erased future and sent the downloaded information from the Moira Engine to the present-day Mother Righteous, who immediately helped Krakoa prevent it from happening again. Righteous gained Krakoa's trust while Sinister and the Sinister-compromised council members were sent to the Pit. Broken by his failure to ascend, Sinister desperately tried to warn everybody of the Dominion.; ===Enigma===; Charles Xavier with a remnant of Mister Sinister accessed the Moira Engine's back-up data to find information on the Dominion and the other Sinister clones. They learned that Orbis Stellaris had already attempted ascension in Moira II.4 with a Mysterium/M'kraanite crystal construct and Doctor Stasis attempted to ascend in Moira IV.8 through the Orchis Forge and a Worldmind to lure, kill, and replace another Dominion. Combined with Sinister's own ascension attempt in Moira VII.1, that made three attempts at Dominion-status before Mother Righteous also attempted but also failed due to the Enigma, a Dominion with the personality of Nathaniel Essex, stealing the power for itself.; ==List of Known Moira Engine Timelines==; 1st clone; 2nd clone; II.4; 3rd clone; III.9; 4th clone; IV.8; 5th clone; 6th clone; VI.1; VI.2; VI.3; VI.4; VI.5; VI.6; VI.7; VI.8; VI.9; VI.10; 7th clone; VII.1; VII.2; -; -; -; -; -; -; -; -; Not every life from Moiras I–V was used up. Mister Sinister still had some available before cloning Moiras VI and VII, but he was hesitant on using them due to the risk of Judgment Day, as the Progenitor had the power to stop Sinister from using his Engine. In total, the Engine created 37 alternate timelines. ============================================================ Midnight Axe Kind: item Page: Midnight Axe Formal name: Midnight Axe Type: Axe First appearance: Thor Vol 1 199 Created by: Gerry Conway; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Divine; Olympian Previous owners: Pluto Material: Adamantine (Metal) History: The Midnight Axe was a weapon wielded by Pluto in a duel against Hela and later was about to kill Thor with it before intervention by the The Norns destroyed it. ============================================================ Mind Helmet Kind: item Page: Mind Helmet Other aliases: Mind Helmet Type: Head Device First appearance: Avengers: The Initiative Vol 1 10 Created by: Dan Slott; Christos N.

As such, the device can wipe the memories of people and implement them into others. Currently, the device has the brainwaves of the late KIA. History: The "Mind Helmet" was a device created by Wernher von Blitzschlag at Blitzschlag Lab, Camp Hammond in Stamford, Connecticut during the KIA incident when Michael Van Patrick attempted to kill every individual who observed his demise while in the training room. As Patrick fought his clones at the camp ground, Blitzschlag gave the device to Cloud 9 and directed her to use it on the the healthy Michael Van Patrick Clone before putting it on KIA. Cloud 9, accompanied by Hardball and Komodo, departed to Bulls Gap, Tennessee.; Once there, Cloud 9 attempted to put the device on the Patrick clone, but was intercepted by the New Warriors. The three explained to the group that in order to stop KIA, the device would have to be put on the clone, albeit wipe his memory, and put onto KIA in order to remove the thought of him being killed. Skeptical about the device, the clone thought about it as KIA showed up and fought the New Warriors and Initiative members. While Cloud 9 insisted he wear it, the clone's father refused to have him employ the device on his head.; Cloud 9 left them to subdue KIA, who had feelings for her, by using her cloud-like gas to suffocate him while they kissed. As KIA was held back by the Scarlet Spiders, the clone went up to him and placed the device on his head, which wiped his mind. Later, Slapstick approached the incapacitated KIA on the ground and took the Mind Helmet for himself, placing it in his infinite pockets while signing and dancing away. ============================================================ Mjolnir Premium Kind: item Page: Mjolnir Premium Formal name: Mjolnir Premium Type: Smart Hammer First appearance: Immortal Thor Vol 1 9 Created by: Al Ewing; Ibraim Roberson Reality: Earth-616; Earth-60618 Lead designer: Roxxon Energy Corporation Additional designers: Roxxon Incorporated Current owner: Roxxon Presents: Thor Previous owners: Keep Material: Uru History: Playing the role of Thor, Keep wielded his own hammer developed by Roxxon, known as Mjolnir Premium.

The screen would turn black, which was the Blood Light being installed, and then the app itself would not appear anywhere on the phone but would be launched at Polly's command. History: Miranda was an app developed by Arthur Simms at the request of his girlfriend, social media beauty influencer Polly Devereux, who wanted to create an app that would act as a real world filter and remove the physical imperfections of anybody using the app. The catch was that it would then transfer those perceived imperfections onto an unwilling host body. The app would change the light on the flash when the user took a selfie with the front camera and then permeate the user's neurons, infiltrate them, and expel the user's defects into the universe into a repository.; After Polly Devereux was almost exposed by a customer for having human DNA laced into her beauty products, she shut down production of her line and shut down her online profile. Years later, she came back with a new online persona, Perfect Peach, and began reviewing other people's products using a filter to disguise her face. Eventually, another fan of hers reached out to her, asking if she was the owner of the previous profile, on account of her owning the same looking dogs. She'd asked Polly if she was still selling Beauty X anywhere and begged to buy it from her at any price since no other product worked nearly as well. Polly wanted badly to sell her something, but Arthur pointed out that doing so would cause him and his family to get arrested due to the inhumane methods used to extract the human DNA and place them into the products. Polly then asked Arthur to begin working on a different kind of product they could sell to users, a filter that would help people be their best physical selves.; Arthur initially had trouble developing the app even though he was considered a genius. He wanted to use quantum mechanics to physically remove people's imperfections but couldn't figure out how. He then told Polly about a type of magic material his father had told him about while traveling in Latveria, a thing called Blood Light. Blood Light was a kind of ethereal essence that lived all over the Earth, living and breathing just under the surface unknown to most people except those who were the most bloodthirsty. Polly was able to harness this Blood Light when she visited the site of a tragic accident that had occurred centuries prior in Barton Wallop on the property that would later become Barton Manor, where twelve children were killed in a mudslide. She was then somehow able to implement this source of Blood Light into her app, granting it its almost magical properties. She also visited the church that commemorated the incident with a plaque that contained the phrase: "o adolescentia admiranda semper bella sitis," which translated to "Oh wonderful children, be forever beautiful." It was from this plaque that she got the idea to name her app Miranda.; The app took years for Arthur to research and develop but once they were ready, they used twins Fox and Lark Randall, two children coming to visit their father in the U.K., to test their app. Due to the fact that the app needed a receptacle to transfer the imperfections into, they used Debra Phipps, a recluse woman whose house they took over as a base of operations. They tried using Debra as the receptacle but due to her age, she couldn't handle the quick changes to her body and died in the process. They then decided to use two of the three teenage fans Polly had kidnapped for their experiment, Audrey Hill-Lock and Amina Sultanov. The app worked in removing the physical defects of the twins and giving them flawless skin, but it also altered their personality, causing them to be a bit more monotone than usual and act as if everything was perfect, no matter the situation. This caused concern amongst their mother who hired Jessica Jones to investigate the situation.; After realizing that their product was successful, they flew to New York City to launch it on October 24th at 7pm in Central Park. They'd given Lark and Fox flyers to post all around their school to promote the launch. On the night, hundreds of people showed up to the park to use the app. Jessica had been investigating the entire time and once she was able to put it all together, she raced to Central Park to stop her but was too late and she watched in horror as everyone using it was physically changing in real time into their "ideal" selves, which meant that Amina and Audrey were being bombarded with countless amounts of physical changes to their bodies. Jessica, with the help of some friends, was able to free Amina and Audrey from their captivity beneath the home of Sebastian Randolph in specialized tanks and reverse the effects of the app.; Polly and Arthur were both arrested by the F.B.I.. Polly was sentenced to 38 years in prison without parole for the murders of Debra Phipps and the abduction, false imprisonment, and attempted murders of Grace, Amina, and Audrey. Arthur was due to be sentenced a month after her. The app was presumable shut down once the pair were arrested. ============================================================ Molecule Man's Wand Kind: item Page: Molecule Man's Wand Formal name: Molecule Man's Wand Other aliases: Power Wand Type: Wand First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 20 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Lead designer: Molecule Man Current owner: Molecule Man Previous owners: "Molecule Man"; Cynthia McClellan; rattlesnake Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Molecule Man originally focused his powers through a wand.

Following a lead from S.H.I.E.L.D., Hawkeye and Black Widow find Molecule Man only to encounter his son Aaron Reece who is being targeted by A.I.M. when he is in the possession of his father's wand. After ditching A.I.M., Aaron goes on the run with Hawkeye and Black Widow in pursuit. Aaron considers the Avengers and A.I.M. the same as they want his father's wand. Things get worse when Super-Adaptoid arrives and captures Aaron. Captain America comes to Black Widow and Hawkeye's aid where they trip Super-Adaptoid upon Falcon's arrival. While Captain America and Falcon fight Super-Adaptoid, Black Widow and Hawkeye try to reason with Aaron until Iron Man arrives and the wand is accidentally broken causing reality to be broken. When Super-Adaptoid attacks, Aaron uses the wand's fragments to defeat Super-Adaptoid and undo the damages with Iron Man's help. While Aaron undoes the damages, the others shut down Super-Adaptoid. Aaron is then given to Nick Fury to put in his training program for teenage superheroes. ============================================================ Moon Knight's Crescent Darts Kind: item Page: Moon Knight's Crescent Darts Formal name: Crescent Darts Other aliases: Moon Knight's Crescent Darts Type: Throwing Weapon First appearance: Werewolf by Night Vol 1 32 Created by: Doug Moench; Don Perlin Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Moon Knight Material: Adamantium Trivia: Moon Knight's Crescent Darts were possibly based on Batman's "Batarangs". History: Crescent darts are the primary weapons of choice for the masked vigilante known as Moon Knight. A concealable weapon which is made of Adamantium commonly, they function similarly to that of Shuriken. Moon Knight maintains a supply of these darts clipped to the outside of his belt on either side of the buckle. Although they are primarily used for throwing, the darts are also useful for close-quarter combat. The visual design of the darts (inspired by the Egyptian God of Vengeance, Khonshu), are intended to reflect the shape of the Gibbous moon. Midway through his career, Moon Knight upgraded his arsenal and began using a different variety of throwing weapons. These supplemental darts were given to him by the Priests of Khonshu, and were based on designs originally developed by Hawkeye (Clint Barton). During one of the darker periods in Marc Spector's life, he even used one of his darts to remove the face of his most notorious adversary, Bushman, an attack that resulted in Bushman's death. ============================================================ Moonstones Kind: item Page: Moonstones Formal name: Moonstones Type: Stone First appearance: Captain America Vol 1 170 Created by: Steve Englehart; Mike Friedrich; Sal Buscema Origin: Magical Current owner: Karla Sofen Previous owners: Ajes'ha; Lloyd Bloch; Phantom Eagle; Helmut Zemo; The Promoter History: The Moonstone was once a part of a larger whole called the Lifestone Tree. The Lifestone Tree was an ancient collaborative effort by various alien races to create a team of champions to safeguard the galaxy. The tree was composed of relics various alien cultures had accumulated and were believed to be remnants from the Big Bang. The team was named the Chosen Eight of Fate. Ajes'ha, a Kree warrior and member of the team, possessed one of the eight Lifestones and her memories were archived within the stone. The Lifestone Tree was eventually shattered, causing many fragments of the Lifestones to pass through warp space and fall to Earth.; The Moonstone was acquired by a criminal named Lloyd Bloch, who worked for the Secret Empire as a supervillain under the name Moonstone.; Years later, Karla Sofen used her skills as a psychiatrist to compel Bloch to reveal the source of his power. As a result, she became the second Moonstone.; Karla Sofen eventually began subconsciously tapping into the memories of Ajes'ha after she fell for Hawkeye, which drove her somewhat insane until I.S.A.A.C., the supercomputer of the Titan Eternals, cured her.; Originally there was only one moonstone but Karla Sofen got a second moonstone from her predecessor Lloyd Bloch's Counter-Earth counterpart Phantom Eagle after he went insane. Counter-Earth and its inhabitants were created by Franklin Richards. Having two gems greatly amplified Karla Sofen's power.; When she was put into a coma, Helmut Zemo seized the stones. Sometime later, one of the stones was destroyed by Songbird which resulted in Helmut Zemo being hurled backwards in time to relive his family's history. The single remaining moonstone restored Karla Sofen to consciousness. ============================================================ Montesi Formula Kind: item Page: Montesi Formula Formal name: Montesi Formula Type: Spell First appearance: Dracula Lives Vol 1 6 Created by: Steve Gerber Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Chthon Properties: Even people with little or no mystical talents could destroy vampires in close proximity to them by reciting the spell.; A powerful sorcerer who had both the Darkhold and the complete spell could destroy all vampires within his or her plane of existence.; Once cast, the spell was permanent and would remain in effect unless it was specifically broken by the re-creation of the vampiric curse. If that were to happen, then all of the vampires that were previously destroyed by the spell would be resurrected from the dead. Notes: The version of the spell used by Giuseppe Montesi was "Holo erasma rabis katerama lucem dei paradoxis satannicus belgrem"; The more complete incantation that was used to destroy all vampires was preceded by "Daemoneth chthon...dibilibus rhalhma...infernibus invohileth...calthnum terbolec."; Reciting the complete enchantment could (allegedly) cause the speaker to lose his or her soul. However, Giuseppe Montesi was apparently able to use it without losing his soul.; The backstory of the Montesi Formula has changed over time:; In Dracula Lives Vol 1 6, the closest thing this spell had to a name was when Dracula referred to it as "the Darkhold incantation." According to Montesi, all of the Darkhold was written in Latin except for the words of the incantation, which were in a language that had been unheard on Earth for centuries, and he was not even certain of the precise meaning of those words. Also, the fact that Dracula recalled that he had previously opposed both the woman named Topaz and the Werewolf by Night in order to keep the words of the spell from others indicated that he had known of the spell even before Montesi began using it.; In Giant-Size Dracula Vol 1 3, the spell was referred to as the "Montesi Formula" for the first time, and was known by that name to Elianne Turac, Quincy Harker and Dracula.; In Doctor Strange Vol 2 61, Dracula revealed that inferior copies of the Darkhold had previously been made which had survived into the present day only in fragmentary form. Hannibal King later revealed that Doctor Strange had told him about a passage in the Darkhold that some called the Montesi Formula because an old monk named Montesi had found a crumbling copy of the Darkhold in the Vatican Library which had contained part of a spell that totally destroyed vampires in close proximity.; In the entry on the Darkhold that appeared in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 1 15, the fact that it contained a spell to destroy all vampires was mentioned but without any references to the name Montesi.; In Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 9, a Book of the Vishanti back-up story revealed that that monk had actually been a prelate named Monsignore Giuseppe Montesi and that he was part of a family that had been trying to acquire "the ancient Montesi Formula" for generations.; In Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 15, another Book of the Vishanti back-up story revealed that the Montesi family had arranged for the Vatican Library to acquire the page containing the incantation that could destroy vampires sometime in the 15th century. Presumably, due to the family's long search for it, the spell had already become known as the "Montesi Formula" by the time that Dracula learned of it and the Darkhold soon after becoming a vampire in 1459. History: Eons ago, before being forced to flee to a nether dimension in order to escape from Demogorge the God-Eater, the evil Elder God Chthon inscribed all of his dark mystical knowledge on indestructible parchments that were to serve as his permanent link to the Earthly plane. Those parchments later came to be known as the Darkhold and among the spells that they contained were both a spell that could create vampires and one that could destroy them.; Sometime before the Great Cataclysm, on the continent of Atlantis, the Darkhold spell was first used to create vampires. The first of them, Varnae, somehow either knew or learned that the Darkhold could also be used to destroy his kind.; In the late 12th century, the Darkhold scrolls came into the possession of the Catholic Church. The reigning Pope entrusted them to a young monk named Paolo Montesi who had only recently been appointed the curator of a little-known church library devoted to occult artifacts. Varnae learned that the Church had acquired the Darkhold but was also aware that they did not yet know that it could be used to destroy all vampires. However, Varnae probably did not know that the scroll that held the vampire-destroying spell was not then part of the Darkhold.; At some point, the Church learned that one of the indestructible parchments contained an incantation that could destroy all vampires. Paolo Montesi's son and successor, Giacomo Montesi, confirmed that that scroll had not been among those that his father had bound together and realized that it must have been taken eastward during the Hyborian Age. Giacomo sent expeditions to Tibet to try to obtain the missing scroll, but was assassinated by one of Varnae's human agents before a trade could be made with the Nine Wise Men of Kamar-Taj.; By the 15th century, when that scroll was finally brought to the Vatican and bound into the Darkhold, the long-sought-after spell had already become known as the "Montesi Formula." However, since the language in which it was written had not yet been fully deciphered, the spell could not be spoken. Before it could be translated, Dracula learned of its existence and forced a thief named Murgo to steal the Darkhold from the Vatican Library. Murgo succeeded, but was intercepted before he could deliver it to Dracula by the sorcerer Cagliostro, who killed him and took the Darkhold for himself.; In recent years, the Darkhold was obtained by Jack Russell, who gave it to Father Ramón Jóquez to translate. Father Jóquez became possessed by the spirit of the evil monk Aelfric and soon afterwards died during a battle between Aelfric's thrall, Dragonus, and the Werewolf by Night. However, the death of so learned a priest under such mysterious circumstances attracted the attention of Monsignore Giuseppe Montesi, who was then the curator of that secret wing of the Vatican Library. After receiving the notes that Father Jóquez had made, Montesi found a copy of the incantation among them and was finally able to use the spell.; After Montesi used the spell several times to destroy newly-created vampires, Dracula came to Vatican City to stop him. Dracula burned Montesi's copy of the spell and fatally injured the monk but, before dying, Montesi informed the vampire lord that, days earlier, he had mailed another copy of the incantation to Dracula's enemy, Quincy Harker.; Learning of this, Elianne Turac had Harker abducted in an attempt to get the Montesi Formula from him so she could use it against Dracula. However, despite being tortured, Harker insisted that he did not have it, and Elianne was soon killed by Dracula.; Rachel van Helsing somehow acquired a copy of the Montesi Formula and had it secured within a castle on Pendarrow Hill that vampires could not enter. Dracula's daughter and nemesis, Lilith, learned of this and, unable to get the book containing the spell herself, secretly possessed Kitty Pryde and then manipulated the X-Men into stealing it for her. However, when Kitty began reciting the spell, she was prevented from finishing it by Nightcrawler, who had recognized the words as being from the Darkhold and believed that her soul would have been forfeit if she had completed the enchantment.; Later, Dracula sought out the Darkhold after learning that it could be used to grant him ultimate power. However, his search led to him being opposed by Doctor Strange, Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, and his allies Hannibal King, Blade the Vampire-Slayer, Frank Drake and Wong. Using the power of the Darkhold, Doctor Strange was able to use the complete incantation to destroy Dracula and all vampires on Earth.; A later attempt by two Darkholders who had served Dracula to import a vampire from another reality succeeded but that vampire immediately disintegrated into dust, proving that the Montesi Formula had erased the curse that allowed vampirism to exist in Earth's reality.; The Voodoo Queen of New Orleans Marie Laveau, wanting and needing to get vampire blood into her possession to prolong her life, kidnapped Morgana Blessing and Victor Strange to threaten the latter's brother, Doctor Strange, into giving her the spell to re-create vampires after they were all eradicated by Strange casting the Montesi Formula. Strange refused, forcing Laveau to use the Darkhold to resurrect Varnae by sacrificing Blessing. Bambu, Brother Voodoo's servant, intervened by sacrificing himself instead. This resulted in Varnae's spirit possessing Bambu's body and transforming it into an identical duplicate of his original body. Varnae ultimately refused to ally himself with Laveau and went to feast on Blessing, only to be confronted by Doctor Strange. Strange cast a spell on Varnae which caused the Vampire Lord to experience oblivion for five centuries and forced him to flee. Varnae was then successful in undoing the spell Doctor Strange had cast, resurrecting all vampires from the dead as a result. ============================================================ Moon Knight's Golden Ankh Kind: item Page: Moon Knight's Golden Ankh Other aliases: Moon Knight's Golden Ankh Type: Baton First appearance: Moon Knight Vol 2 1 Created by: Alan Zelenetz; Chris Warner Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Egyptian; Ennead Lead designer: Clint Barton Additional designers: Priests of Khonshu Place of creation: Valley of the Kings, Thebes, Egypt Previous owners: Moon Knight History: This item was part of Moon Knight's arsenal after he was bequeathed renewed strength and vitality after a trip to the Valley of the Kings in Thebes.; The design and functionality of Moon Knight's arsenal hearkens back to the year 2940 BC.

Notes: It is unclear how the Momentary Princess became the target of the Marauders. All of its previous appearances happened 27-29 years apart, but the latest when Gambit, Fenris, and Sekmeht Conoway tried to get it happened only a few years prior to M-Day, so the Princess should not have appeared again for decades. Moreover, it only appears for few minutes each time and provides knowledge about person touching it's own personal future, so the chances for it to provide any crucial information about the first mutant's birth were minuscule to nonexistent.; It was shown in X-Men Vol 2 202 what Arclight destroyed the Wohnhaus Strucker in Dresden, Germany. But most likely it was unrelated to the Momentary Princess, as it previously always appeared in the same area of Leipzig, not Dresden. History: The Momentary Princess was created by the Witness in the year 2084. It contains the archival information about humanity's history.; The Momentary Princess was sent into the past and appeared in the same area in Leipzig, Germany every 27-29 years for a few minutes. Its first recorded appearance was in 1897 then Jean-Luc LeBeau almost managed to obtain it.; In 1916, the Momentary Princess was found by a young soldier Wolfgang von Strucker. He touched it and saw his future as he became the leader of the Hydra.; The Princess appeared again during World War II. Strucker, Candra, Jean-Luc, and Nick Fury's Howling Commandos tried to get it, but Jean-Luc claimed it first.; In the present, Jean-Luc sent his foster son, Gambit to Leipzig. Famous archaeologist Sekmeht Conoway and Strucker's childrens, Fenris, also hunted for the gem, but while they all fought, the Princess appeared and disappeared again.; Shortly before the birth of the first new mutant since M-Day, Mister Sinister sent the Marauders to kill all precogs and obtain or destroy objects that grant the knowledge about the future. Cyclops later mentioned what the Momentary Princess was one of these objects, but given its nature and a short time window for each of its appearances, it is not known if it was destroyed, or the Marauders simply prevented anyone from obtaining it in time. ============================================================ Molecular Negatizer Kind: item Page: Molecular Negatizer Formal name: Molecular Negatizer Type: Weapon First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 13 Created by: Archie Goodwin; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Controller Place of creation: New England, United States of America Current owner: Controller History: The Molecular Negatizer was shaped like a needle beam capable of penetrating organic or inorganic materials, causing their molecules to repel one another and fly apart.

History: The Mousehole is a laser-cutting device that was created by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Leo Fitz. It has been used by Nick Fury, Maria Hill and Agent Coulson's team.; Created by Leo Fitz, the Mousehole never went to production for field agents.; Director Nick Fury used a Mousehole to escape from his destroyed vehicle during an assassination attempt attempt by the Winter Soldier. Maria Hill later used a Mousehole to free Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon from a Hydra assassination squad.; Around that same time, Fitz used a Mousehole to effect the escape of his team from the Bus when Victoria Hand sent a kill-squad aboard the plane, falsely believing that Coulson and his team were Hydra sleeper agents. ============================================================ Moon Knight's Suit Kind: item Page: Moon Knight's Suit Formal name: Moon Knight's Suit Other aliases: Carbonadium Armored Vestment Type: Suit First appearance: Werewolf by Night Vol 1 32 Created by: Doug Moench; Don Perlin Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Jean-Paul Duchamp Current owner: Marc Spector Previous owners: Franco; Jeffrey Wilde; Maximillian Coleridge Model: 1 Version: 1 History: ===Origin===; Moon Knight's original costume included Kevlar armor. It had a built-in two-way radio system so that Spector could summon Jean-Paul Duchamp, who typically provided backup in a helicopter.; Spector later upgraded the Kevlar to Adamantium, and du Champ added dart throwers to the gauntlets.; ==Components==; ===Carbonadium Armored Vestment===; Before he moved to the West Coast, Moon Knight wore a costume that was made of Carbonadium which he claimed was almost as tough as Adamantium but more flexible.; ===Glider Cloak===; Although Spector cannot fly, he can spread his cloak and slow his descent from great heights. To a slight extent he can steer his fall. Because it must be flexible, the cloak is not armored.; ===Flashlight===; Spector has a flashlight in his suit so he can see better in places with no lighting.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Source; On Earth-199999, Moon Knight's suit was a ceremonial armor that Marc could summon through Khonshu. Moon Knight (TV series) Season 1 1; On Earth-TRN1444, Moon Knight wore a heavily armored suit. During Dracula's takeover of Manhattan, Moon Knight altered his costume with Chronovium, turning it black and red.; Marvel Rivals ============================================================ Moon Girl's Suit Kind: item Page: Moon Girl's Suit Formal name: Moon Girl's Suit Type: Suit First appearance: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Vol 1 5 Created by: Brandon Montclare; Amy Reeder; Natacha Bustos Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Conceptualized and crafted from her own various inventions by Moon Girl, in order to rescue Devil Dinosaur. Lead designer: Lunella Lafayette Place of creation: Moon Girl's Secret Laboratory, P.S. 20, Lower East Side, Manhattan Current owner: Moon Girl Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: All of the various contraptions, which augment the suit's overall function and design, were engineered by Lunella herself despite her youth and limited resources. Trivia: } History: Moon Girl's Suit consists of boxing headgear, goggles, suspenders, a computerized utility belt, backpack, assorted weaponry, a special pair of roller-skates, and numerous other gadgets. It was built by Lunella Lafayette, in her secret laboratory beneath Public School 20 Anna Silver, to assist her in liberating Devil Dinosaur from the custody of the Department of Dinosaur Control.; The retractable roller-skates are retrofitted with springs, which extend to allow the nine-year-old to stand at a height of roughly twenty feet; meanwhile, the backpack houses a rear-mounted rotor, providing for sustained flight, and the suit also includes offensive capabilities, such as a spring-loaded boxing glove, amongst other armaments. ============================================================ Molecule Displacer Kind: item Page: Molecule Displacer Formal name: Molecule Displacer Type: Firearm; Energy Weapon First appearance: Thor Vol 1 182 Created by: Stan Lee; John Buscema; John Romita Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed this sci-fi-looking handgun to carry it as a sidearm even if it was attached via a hose to another device. The gun shot a narrow energy beam that, when hitting an individual, divided that person and gear (including clothes and equipment) into molecules that were immediately absorbed by the Molecule Displacer. The victim disappeared from sight in a psychedelic blaze.; The device could only store one single person; thus, when the Displacer was shot again, the user could either restore the previous victim, in a temporary state of unconsciousness, or alternatively murder the previous victim by distributing his or her molecules throughout a space. If a victim was stored within the Displacer for several days, the item risked failure, automatically restoring the victim potentially with permanent damage like a missing limb or a power, and probably destroying the Displacer.; Doom created only one working unit of the Molecule Displacer, which he used to kidnap Doctor Donald Blake. Doom has restrained himself from using repeatedly this item, as it may be a too heinous device for his standards, and he never murdered anyone with it. ============================================================ Multi-Dimensional Transference Center Kind: item Page: Multi-Dimensional Transference Center Formal name: Multi-Dimensional Transference Center Type: Technology First appearance: Dazzler Vol 1 4 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Frank Springer Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Previous owners: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom built this machine to create portals to different dimensions through which he could send people. The device itself included a huge computer-like control console with buttons, some of which were activated not by pressing but using a bolt from Doom's armor's gauntlets, and one to eight crystal cylinders connected to the machine through cables made of steel. The dimension travellers were placed within the cylinders and, when the controls were activated, the travellers were sent to the selected dimension. Depending on the precision of the controller and of the machine, the travellers may appear at a chosen point in the target dimension, or quite far from it. The person in the controls had video monitors to watch the progress of the travellers, but could not affect their actions except to bring hte travellers back at any moment. The return was less than elegant, with the travellers simply falling to the floor from the cylinders.; Doom claimed to have developed this device from useless machinery, and had one working unit of it in a secret laboratory within the limits of New York City.; When Doom was deposed by King Zorba, he began a quest to find the Stones of Merlin. After getting one at the United Nations Headquarters, he identified a second Stone at the Dimension of Dreams. He then captured the mutant superhero Dazzler and used this machine to send her in the quest, claiming that Doom's person was too valuable to risk it. Doom's robotic servant Robotron placed Dazzler in the cylinders. Dazzler succeeded in her mission and Doom brought her back.; Almost immediately afterward, however, the Merlin Stone was destroyed, Doom and Dazzler fought each other, and Doom hastily escaped his own lair when the Fantastic Four found and bursted into it; the Multi-Dimensional Transference Center was left behind, and it could have been damaged in the combat. ============================================================ Ms. Marvel's Suit Kind: item Page: Ms. Marvel's Suit Type: Suit First appearance: Ms. Marvel Vol 1 1 Created by: Gerry Conway; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Carol Danvers Additional designers: Janet Van Dyne Place of creation: Subterranean Kree Outpost, near Cape Canaveral Current owner: Kamala Khan Previous owners: Carol Danvers; Norman Osborn; Rogue; Karla Sofen; Deidre Wentworth; Ultragirl; Doctor Minerva; Mystique Alternate owners: Marlene Brashear (Earth-15061); Ms. Marvel (Earth-24110) Trivia: Artist Dave Cockrum described Ms. Marvel's suit as "a female version of Captain Marvel's costume only with an open belly", though it stopped exposing the midriff on Ms. Marvel Vol 1 9.; A leather, full-body version of the red and black version appeared in the Marvel's Jessica Jones episode "AKA You're Welcome", worn by Trish Walker as an homage to Carol's role in the Alias comic. History: The original costume wore by Ms. Marvel was a piece of technology automatically created by the miraculous machine named the Psyche-Magnitron as part of the process that triggered the transformation of Carol Danvers into a Kree warrior. The machinery in the suit was designed to bridge the genetic reconstruction of Danvers and electronically mimicked her nascent superpowers. Later on, the costume was ruined and Ms. Marvel wore a different suit no longer attached to the Kree culture. This second costume was built with unstable molecules and designed by superhuman fashionista Janet Van Dyne. Ms. Marvel eventually adopted the Captain Marvel mantle and returned to wear a suit that resembled Kree iconography. Danvers' successor as Ms. Marvel Kamala Khan wore a version of the suit developed by her friend Bruno Carrelli. His Biokinetic Polymer Suit was a perfect fit for Khan's metamorphic abilities. Khan's suit was momentarily assimilated by a Kree Stormranger Nanosuit.; ==Versions==; ===Psyche-Magnitron===; When the miraculous machine named the Psyche-Magnitron detonated and triggered Carol Danvers' transformation into a Kree warrior, it was powered by Captain Mar-Vell's Nega-Bands. In order to reconstruct Danvers' genomic structure, it created a suit that electronically mimicked her future abilities. The fine and sophisticated electronic webbing built into the suit allowed her to sail the planet's electromagnetic field, granting her the ability to fly. Ms. Marvel had the ability to manifest the costume following a flash of light whenever she wanted to as well as make it disappear, replacing it with her ordinary clothing and vice-versa. Aesthetically, it resembled Mar-Vell's military suit which had been generated by the Nega-Bands. As such, it was primarily red and black, displaying a golden Hala Star on its torso. Additionally, it was complemented by a long red scarf. Initially, the costume exposed the user's abdomen and back, but it was redesign to cover these areas.; The electronic webbing was short-circuited when Ms. Marvel battled the brute Grotesk. Being damaged beyond repair, it did not work properly when A.I.M. Agent 17 tested it with hopes of manifesting its flight properties. However, having the costume's abilities herself, Ms. Marvel could still fly without the mechanism and stayed wearing the costume. The costume was left in shreds when Ms. Marvel battled Ronan the Accuser. She used its scarf to immobilize her damaged arm. After this, Ms. Marvel started wearing another costume.; Years later, Ms. Marvel passed her original costume on to the young Kree hero Ultragirl as a graduation gift. Ultragirl was a cadet of the Initiative program, which enlisted superhumans to military duty, and had just been promoted to licensed superhero. Ms. Marvel expressed that seeing her legacy being carried on made her proud. However, when Norman Osborn became in control of the Initiative, he demanded Ultragirl to return the costume alleging he owned the rights over Ms. Marvel's identity. He presented the costume to Moonstone, who was rebranded as the Ms. Marvel of Osborn's team of Avengers. After Osborn's reign fell, Moonstone was imprisoned and the whereabout of the costume were not revealed. When Osborn reformed his team of Avengers, this time without legal sanction, he had the super criminal Superia wear a similar version of the Ms. Marvel's suit.; ===Unstable Molecules===; Having her original superhero costume ruined, Carol Danvers had the help of the superhuman fashion designer Janet Van Dyne to design an alternative one made out of Unstable Molecules. The suit functioned as a second skin and was affected by Ms. Marvel's mass. Moreover, it could just like her previous costume manifest and disappear in a flash of light at her will, replacing and being replaced by her ordinary clothing. The costume was a black leotard stamped with a golden lightning bolt, complemented by a black mask and long boots and gloves. Another item was a red sash wore over her waist.; After being attacked by Rogue in an incident that took away her powers and memories, Carol Danvers reverted back to wearing civilian clothes. As Binary, she wore a different costume as a cosmic warrior in space. However, her old persona began asserting itself within Rogue's psyche, ultimately supplanting it. During a visit to her old apartment, owned by Arabella Jones, Carol Danvers, piloting Rogue's body, retrieved her Ms. Marvel costume. She wore it to battle the Sentinels Nimrod and Master Mold. Rogue ended the battle by throwing herself and the adversaries into the Siege Perilous. The two women's minds and bodies were separated with the ordeal. However, where Rogue was restored to health by Magneto, it came at the cost of this iteration of Carol Danvers' survival. The real Carol Danvers eventually returned to Earth and resumed wearing her classic lightning bolt costume after rejoining the Avengers as Warbird. The costume was replaced by Captain Marvel's Suit when Danvers adopted such an identity. Kamala Khan's modelled her Ms. Marvel's Biokinetic Polymer Suit after this version of Carol Danvers' costume. Also, Jessica Jones was forced by the misogynist Jared Beekman to wear an accurate version of the costume.; ===Binary===; Having allied herself to the X-Men following her loss of powers, Danvers was ambushed by the Brood, who were in need of the mutants as vessels to reproduce. The Brood noted that Carol Danvers was an anomaly and subjected her to evolutionary modification. Unbeknownst to them, they triggered her transformation into Binary, physically linking her to the primal fabric of the universe and allowing her to be fueled by the unlimited energies of a white hole. As part of the transformation, Carol Danvers manifested a new white and flaming red costume which had the symbols of two stars, representing a binary star system. Her appearance, in general, evoked a star.; Clear; ===Warbird===; Having adopted the name Warbird to represent her military background, Danvers mainly wore her classic Ms. Marvel suit until she replaced it when serving with the Avengers. Warbird's new uniform was an all-black military-like body suit with white pieces of protective vest. Warbird wore this suit when invited by the president to be Chief Field Leader of the Department of Homeland Security. After distancing herself from governmental affairs, she returned to her previous costume.; Clear; ===Captain Marvel's Uniform===; Having decided to take over the Captain Marvel codename, Carol Danvers adopted a brand-new visual identity. Her military-like costume was a full-bodied suit made out of Stark-designed impermeable fabric which counted with a red sash similar to the one she had previously worn. The costume also featured a collapsible helmet that echoed those used by Kree soldiers, making outer space flight possible. When used, Danvers' hair came out of it as a mohawk. The color scheme and iconography was similar to that of Mar-Vell's as well, being red and navy blue. A golden Hala Star is displayed on the chest area of the costume, although it has no direct ties to the Kree Empire.; Clear; ===Biokinetic Polymer Suit===; During her experience of being transformed by the Terrigenesis, the young Inhuman Kamala Khan had an inspiring dream of Carol Danvers; her shape-shifting powers had turned her clothes into the Ms. Marvel's outfit, which Kamala eventually regretted, deeming it uncomfortable. After foiling a robbery dressed as Captain Marvel, Khan eventually made a costume of her own out of a burkini, which stamped Ms. Marvel's costume's lightning bolt, to act as the new Ms. Marvel. That one was the basis for Khan's final suit, made by her friend Bruno Carrelli out of a malleable biokinetic polymer that made the outfit change alongside Kamala Khan's transmuting body. For details, see Biokinetic Polymer Suit.; Clear; ===Kree Stormranger Nanosuit===; Kamala Khan's suit was assimilated by a sentient Kree Stormranger Nanosuit, that reshaped itself as a version of Ms. Marvel's suit. The erratic creature eventually assumed an independent form based on Ms. Marvel, becoming Stormranger. For details, see Biokinetic Polymer Suit and Stormranger.; Clear; ===X-Uniform===; After discovering her mutant lineage and joining the X-Men, Kamala Khan redesigned her biokinetic polymer suit to resemble the X-Uniforms - featuring the X-Men's signature colors of yellow and blue, a larger mask, and red X-logos - to reflect her newfound identity and allegiance. Kamala hoped that her new suit would help temper the anti-mutant sentiment spread by Orchis, but instead turned most of the public against her. Despite this, Kamala continued to wear her X-themed suit. For details, see Biokinetic Polymer Suit and X-Uniforms.; Clear ============================================================ Multi-Man Armor Kind: item Page: Multi-Man Armor Formal name: Multi-Man Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Captain America/Nick Fury: Blood Truce Vol 1 1 Created by: Howard Chaykin; Ben Schwartz; Andrew Currie Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Previous owners: Roger Goshaw ============================================================ Monitor-Mirage Kind: item Page: Monitor-Mirage Formal name: Monitor-Mirage Type: Technology First appearance: Hero for Hire Vol 1 9 Created by: Steve Englehart; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom implemented this defensive measure to complement the Tractor Beams protecting the borders of Latveria.

The Monitor-Mirage could also greet any incoming ship explaining the process by presenting itself as a huge hologram of Doctor Doom in front of the vehicle, complete with audio capabilities.; At one point, private detective Luke Cage entered Latveria uninvited because he wanted Doom to pay his fees; he was received by these measures and forced to dock. ============================================================ Mouth Pear Kind: item Page: Mouth Pear Formal name: Mouth Pear Type: Torture Device First appearance: Hellstorm: Prince of Lies Vol 1 15 Created by: Warren Ellis; Leonardo Manco Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Bailiff History: The Mouth Pear is a torturing device that is inserted into the victim's mouth, and then starts to unfold until it smashes the lower part of the face. ============================================================ Molynite Kind: item Page: Molynite Formal name: Molynite Type: Material First appearance: All-New, All-Different Avengers Vol 1 15 Created by: Mark Waid; Adam Kubert Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Rotruvia History: Molynite was a rare element found mostly in Rotruvia, with the potential to be an irreplaceable power source in next generation electronic innovations. Its export was the economic backbone of this country, as Rotruvia was responsible for the trade of 94% of the world's Molynite.; Doctor Doom, the ruler of Rotruvia's neighboring country of Latveria, built a weapon of mass destruction to threaten Rotruvia into annexing to his kingdom. The Avengers interfered in the conflict between the Rotruvian Army and Doom's forces and destroyed the weapon. However, a failsafe measure caused it to disperse an alchemical radiation that eliminated every trace of Molynite in their land. In order to avoid an economic meltdown, Rotruvia's regent was forced to accept Doom's terms of surrender and the country was annexed. ============================================================ Mother Stone Kind: item Page: Mother Stone Formal name: Mother Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Guardians of the Galaxy: Mother Entropy Vol 1 1 Created by: Jim Starlin; Alan Davis Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Deacon Delcario; Ravolians History: The Mother Stone was one of the Ravolians' holiest relics.

Additional designers: James Hudson Jr. (secondary source), Miss Sinister Current owner: Miss Sinister; Bastion Previous owners: The Witch; Quicksilver; Black Box Dimensions: Formula Weight: Variable History: ===Origin===; Within the Ultimate Universe, Mothervine was an aggressive biotech enhancement tailored to engineer mutant childbirths. It was fabricated by H.E.L.L. industries. Through a chain of fertility health care clinics using able or expectant mothers to carry unborn children to full term as test subjects for the weaponization of mutation. Highly aggressive programmable Homo superior power activation triggered via voice command, the process created latent mutant sleeper agents able to turn into strategic WMDs upon passphrase initiation.; Once triggered the intended Mothervine active power would not cease until they had fulfilled their programmed target parameter or until the triggered host was terminated. During his days as a government agent, Logan was tasked with a S.H.I.E.L.D. operation to ascertain an exact understanding of Project: Mothervine and root out its functioning before terminating any existing information on the drug itself. Unfortunately he was beaten to the punch by rival agent and former lover, Magda Lensherr, who unbeknownst to him was both carrying the purest strain of the experimental pharmaceutical, as well as pregnant with their unborn son.; ===Legacy===; This son grew up to carry the very same strain his mother injected herself with, in an absolute concentrated state. Some years later, as Jimmy came of age after his parents' supposed demise, a fellow mutant named Black Box keyed in on a signal emitted by the holographic memento left to Hudson by his late father, carrying the sensitive information about a location where detailed schematics and composition information on the Mothervine project formula was kept for over a decade.; Quicksilver later found out the truth of Mothervine and hatched a plan to revitalize the dwindling mutant population, seeking out his half-brother while also clipping anyone else related to the clean-up of sensitive Mothervine intel before it was all permanently erased. Pietro hoped to use Jimmy's blood as a means to mass produce the Mothervine to restart the mutant race, as well as Box's ability to store and communicate with the leftover Mothervine data stored within his mind.; ===In the Prime Earth===; When Earth-1610 clashed with the Prime Marvel Universe as a consequence of a multiversal phenomenon known as an incursion, Jimmy Hudson and a group of other mutants fell into the latter reality. Amnesiac, these mutants were captured by Miss Sinister. She began running her own experiments with the Mothervine drug still present within Jimmy's blood. Jimmy's natural resistance to telepathy allowed him to break free from Ms. Sinister's control and escape. He was eventually taken in by the time-displaced X-Men under Magneto's tutelage.; After careful study and manipulation of the gene tempering, Sinister found it could also affect natural mutants instead of just unborn fetuses like it was originally intended. Through further experimentation it could also trigger secondary mutations (in some cases with mutants already having secondary mutations) and Tertiary Mutations within other mutants, greatly amplifying their original power set. In other cases, however, the subjects did not take well to the therapeutic enhancement, and the effects ending up killing or degenerating their host. Having managed to work out most, if not all of its defects, she along with Bastion began priming its use on a global scale under Havok and Emma Frost's direction. As part of a test run, Mothervine was used to grant power enhancements to Emma Frost's most loyal subjects during the short-lived existence of the mutant nation of New Tian.; The time-displaced X-Men learned about Mothervine after Jimmy investigated one of Miss Sinister's abandoned bases looking for clues for his past. After noticing that Miss Sinister had started mobilizing, Magneto deduced a connection between Mothervine and the mutants with secondary mutations under Frost's command. Erik's investigation led him to the Hellfire Club, where he confronted Sebastian Shaw. Shaw's secondary mutation proved unstable which greatly impaired him shortly afterwards, and Magneto asked for him to arrange a meeting with the masterminds behind Mothervine in exchange for sparing his life. At the encounter, Magneto attempted to convince Havok to give up on Mothervine, and refused his offer to join his mission, resulting in a battle from which he barely escaped.; The Mothervine plan was put into effect, and bombs containing the catalyst were launched into a dozen major American cities resulting in the emergence or reactivation of primary mutations in people that didn't/no longer possessed the X-Gene, as well as the appearance of secondary and tertiary enhancements in active mutants. Bastion deployed his Mutant Sentinels to contain the new mutants, but a patchwork auxiliary lineup of the young X-Men stopped them. In the meantime, Miss Sinister sent her New Marauders after Magneto, but he escaped. By the time the release of Mothervine reached global levels, Emma Frost learned that all mutants created by Mothervine could have their will controlled. The young X-Men launched a frontal assault on the masterminds' base, but were captured. Emma Frost eventually turned against Miss Sinister, and freed the young X-Men at the cost of the New Marauder's lives, resulting in the death of Miss Sinister at the hands of Jimmy Hudson. Meanwhile, Magneto had enlisted Elixir's help, and patrolled every Mothervine impact zone. He managed to cure most people affected by the Mothervine bombs, except for those that already carried a dormant X-Gene. Emma Frost and the young X-Men confronted Havok and Bastion. Xorn sacrificed himself to kill the latter, while Emma Frost and Polaris worked together to return Alex to his normal self so he could realize the error of his ways. When Elixir was taken to the masterminds' base, he neutralized all samples of the Mothervine serum and even purged it from Jimmy Hudson's system, putting an end to the Mothervine threat once and for all.; Sometime after a global excursion, Mystique went on another of her criminal endeavors. Whilst seeking out a mutant detainee at Trask Enterprise by the name of Whitney James, she used the mission as a means of securing vital coding pertaining to the remnants of the Mothervine formula. She was unsure whether it was the actual data for it or for something else entirely, but opted to be sure by securing it for herself.; ==Properties==; The initial purpose of Mothervine was to devise controlled and easily weaponized genetic alteration on command. To that end the drug, once injected into a healthy mother, would instead rewrite the DNA and RNA of an unborn fetus to produce a mutant childbirth instead of a regular human babe.; The mutants born this way lack conscious activation and utilization of their powers on they're own, requiring a remote trigger in order to spontaneously activate or deactivate dormant abilities without the sleeper agents conscious control. It could also be tempered to recreate deceased mutants with all the same powers and personality traits of the copied genetic template. Effectively creating physically and mentally re-programmable clones of those whomever the geneticist desired to resurrect, making for incredibly effective double agents to be deployed in the field. Miss Sinister later discovered other effects that Mothervine had on the Mutant genome.; For not only could it manipulate genetic code while in utero to ensure mutant childbirths. The project could also engineer spontaneous mutation on command in natural Mutants and Non-Mutants alike. Having experimented with its effects on her New Marauders, results showed that while direct application often proved fatally toxic to the user.; Mothervine also triggered Secondary and Tertiary Mutation within the affected host. As well as activate or re-trigger primary mutations in non mutants as well as depowered mutants who lost their powers on M-Day. Even still, this artificial mutation has it's drawbacks, mutants enhanced in such a way were often left with debilitating side effects. Many new mutations caused by the Mothervine drug are wildly unstable, often leading to loss of control of the newfound power within the effected. More often then not, those who took to it end up suffering a rebounding effect of their overcharged abilities, potentially causing fatalistic degeneration within their augmented biophysical structure.; Sinister went one better with her experiments with the Mothervine, finding a way to control both the affected and their power-set via remote control activation even from a world away. Not simply just switching the powers of those exposed to Mothervine on and off, but outright total control of motor skill and mental facilities of whoever comes under its influence.; ===Mutations Manifested/Enhanced===; Solid Light Manipulation: The generation and control of photokinetic constructs.; Virulent Psychokinetic Plague: Rapid generation of flesh eating psionic pathogens.; Blob: Polymorph Liquefaction.; Toad: Flaming Tongue.; Sebastian Shaw: Ambient Energy Conversion.; Wolfsbane: Elongated Bone Claws and Multi-Shapeshifting. ============================================================ Moons of Munnopor (Spell) Kind: item Page: Moons of Munnopor (Spell) Formal name: Moons of Munnopor or Moons of Munnipor Other aliases: Many; Mystic; Dozen or Twelve; Moons of Munnopor / Munnipor; ----; Dozen Rings of Munnopor (possibly erroneous); ----; Last Moon of Munnopor (Earth-14412); ----; Forbidden Runes of Munnopor (Warp World) Type: Spell First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 120 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Spell invoking the power of Munnopor by invoking the Moons of Munnopor Lead designer: Munnopor (power source) Place of creation: Munnopor Current owner: Doctor Strange Alternate owners: Soldier Supreme; Victor von Doom (Earth-14412) Properties: The Moons of Munnopor spell can be used to banish and repel opponents.

He created his device as a means of changing the immovable molecular structure of the super metal he created called Adamantium.; As when the artificial alloy eventually sets after its forging, it becomes all but unbreakable by any conventional means, even some unconventional ones such as magic, divinity, physics infringement or even blows from a superpowered being.; The misanthropic automaton known as Ultron would coax his Vision into reconstructing himself using both Adamantium stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D. and incorporate design specs for a Molecular Rearranger module to be installed into it for the purpose of reshaping his indestructible chassis in the event of damage as well as changing into pure energy.; Over the years a great many individuals would come to use their own versions of the doctor's matter alteration device. Such as Iron Man, who needed it in hopes of stopping an army of Ultrons constructed by the original, many of whom were composed out of Secondary Adamantium. One of the latest incarnations of the device came into the hands of one of The Reavers. Cylla had upgraded herself with her own Molecular Rearranger in order to crack the Adamantium shell case surrounding the body of Wolverine.; ==Function==; The matter-shifting device's primary application is to render rigid substances malleable by alternating molecular structures. This makes even the most robust of elements pliable to external manipulation for the purpose of reforging it however the user sees fit. In a few cases it can even be used to convert matter into pure energy such was the case with Ultron 6 who had the ability to convert himself from solid matter into raw ionic radiation and back again as a means of attack. ============================================================ Ms. Quizzler "Quiz Wiz" Cards Kind: item Page: Ms. Quizzler "Quiz Wiz" Cards Formal name: Ms. Quizzler "Quiz Wiz" Cards Type: Trading Card First appearance: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol 2 41 Created by: Ryan North; Erica Henderson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Trading Card Lead designer: Ms. Quizzler Current owner: Ms. Quizzler Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Ms. Quizzler "Quiz Wiz" Cards are a selection of study aids written on 3x5 index cards created by Ms. Quizzler to explain "heroes". ============================================================ Muddling Mind-Mists of Mkah'thuth Kind: item Page: Muddling Mind-Mists of Mkah'thuth Formal name: Muddling Mind-Mists of Mkah'thuth Type: Spell First appearance: Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol 2 49 Created by: Ryan North; Derek Charm Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Baron Mordo History: During a team-up with Iron Ring; Baron Mordo used the Muddling Mind-Mists of Mkah'thuth to impede the Squirrel Scouts. ============================================================ Molecular Disruptor (Rigellian) Kind: item Page: Molecular Disruptor (Rigellian) Formal name: Molecular Disruptor Type: Energy Weapon; Firearm First appearance: Thanos Vol 1 2 Created by: Jim Starlin; Al Milgrom Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Rigellian Previous owners: General Zygo History: The Molecular Disruptor was an experimental Rigellian weapon.

Lead designer: Dr. Tuolema Additional designers: Commander Nion Previous owners: Fantomex Alternate owners: Volga Properties: One of the more common facilities granted by the Morituri Effect is the natural augmentation of physiological support aided by the psychic energies of its affected host, thus resulting in the bolstering of strength, speed, resilience, durability, stamina, etc. to different degrees depending the subject. A few would gain augmented resilience and muscular dynamism, others would have enhanced cognitive apprehension like the retention and recall of any information taken in, re-applying it to any situation or reflexive activity to match the situational necessity, thus making the effected persons much stronger, faster, smarter and more durable than the finest human athletes. A female enhancile subject being is capable of lifting 1-2 ton army buicks over her head to toss at enemies. Another recruit had his resistance to injury bolstered to the point he could survive catching a Horde ship engine discharge and emerged unscathed. Due to a combination of the enhancement and the powers given, another recipient swam more than 75 miles to the nearest coast without resting.; The second stage of the Morituri Process is the discernation of one's abilities, which is attained through strenuous flight or fight response based training curriculums in a simulated deep jungle environment, created to shock willing augments into snapping their powers to the forethrough life and death situational extremes. Very few individuals lasted long enough in this stress test to ever actually access their powers in order to save their own lives. All abilities accessed are never the same; each and every special faculty granted by conduct with the serum produces an entirely inimitable superhuman skill within different hosts. It is mainly a roll of the dice as to what power an operative will obtain, but it is not unheard of for some abilities to overlap with the skills of another as they reach the apex of their shortened lifespan or under the right situational vectors.; All of these physiological boosts come at the cost of an individual's life over an undefined course of time. The psychic metabolism powered by the hearts and minds of the affected is eventually rejected by their physical bodies, due to the two being unable to properly cohabitate with one another in proper equilibrium. Once this starts to happen, the boosted agents steadily begin to deteriorate, either gradually; or instantly. Like with the operation of acquiring powers and bodily strengthening, the respective time limit for how long the newly-endowed abilities bestowed by the Morituri varies widely from subject to subject. Older recipients, likely in their thirties or older, last a few weeks at the most, while younger human beings tend to live for up to a year at best, but anything could trigger a fatal meltdown prematurely as well. This is normally indicated by flareups in a user's power signature before they either begin to physically discorporate their flesh from their own skeletons or blow up in an incredibly destructive manner. Signs are displayed when their powers begin to surge out of control affecting everyone and everything around them.; The criminal underworld weapons seller Volga would seek to perfect the process of expendable super soldier creation. Using a bevy of exotic trans-reality equipment and paraphernalia collected from across realities to modify it for his and that of his buying customer's ends. Using a Fleshprinter from a universe ruled by Libervores, he would tailor the product to emulate Sarah/Marrow's burnt out Sapiens Superior DNA to pattern it after faux mutantism. With the Anti-Rejection picotech, his scientists developed a means to prolong bodily coherence with the surrogate nervous system, abstaining the lethal rejection process. The collected weaponized sound beat patterns the formula's violent full-body discharge to prematurely detonate when boosted entities hear the attuned melody regardless of total physiological degradation within the yearly time limit.; Initial tests have been mixed between acceptable to disappointing, but constant thesis runs over on mutants and humans have given the beneficiary a much stronger and longer lasting bodily constitution than what is seen in the regent's native universe. Nathan Summers' exposure to the chemical compound essentially fried his psychic abilities, throwing all of his powers off-mode as a consequence. Many altered specimens showcased singular or multiple differing powers that complement their more perfected physical traits. Abilities bestowed are still randomized between takers of the practice, with Volga, he gained a plethora of powers revolving around energy manipulation and genetic recoding to his will. Fantomex would make a bootleg variation of Hope Summers' psionic interaction of the super soldier practice hoping his computerized cerebral matter would be better equipped to shape and mold it to his will. These plans came to naught until he was shot and killed while on mission and his body better acclimated to the differential take he had created, resurrecting him and giving the cyber assassin access to the computerized arithmetic he had created for his own personal use. With it he could rewrite and rewire Volga's biosoldier developments so that not only did he no longer need fear of forcefully detonating when the melodious pitch tailored to it sounded off, but Charlie Cluster could fabricate any manner of superhuman power he could conceive of at the drop of the hat, as well as further augment his old ones. Notes: A couple of drawbacks were often accompanied when undergoing the Morituri/Volga Effect galvanization:; The process, which is compatible with a select few persons; Optimal age for any viable subject of the Morituri Process was around 18-21yrs. As older enhanciles whom underwent the procedure often suffered significant reductions of life expectancy as opposed to optimal subjects, measurable in weeks at the most.; In less than a standard years time, the human body grafted with this artificial nervous system would inevitably reject it. Causing a 100% fatal reaction within all affected Morituri subjects. In rare cases, their bodies steadily begin to fail and they subside in peace. But in most happenstances a subject's imminent death was indicated by surges of power and ability levels before they volatilely dissipated.; Even with the application of various alt. earth technologies; Only one in a few dozen individuals come out of the Morituri Process intact; Without its original creator to oversee the project. Scientists whom have operated the super soldier program often produced hideously mutated individuals whom cannot function properly as agents.; There's next to no known cure for the Morituri enhancement, its original creator spent decades trying and failing to find a way to undo the lethal expiration date etched into his own works. Volga himself admitted that the only real means of unmaking the physical and psionic faux metabolism was to burn the genetic structure clean and even then one was left with little to nothing else than ashen remains. History: In the late 2060s of Reality-1287, an armada of invaders called the Va-Shaak, but more colloquially known as "The Horde," invaded the Solar System with intent of slaughter, conquest and the strip-mining of valuable planetary resources; all in spite of being vastly superior and technologically wiser than the commonality of man within said particular universe at the time. Their cruel savagery knowing no real bounds, a conflict broke out between the aggressive xenoforms and humanity; leaving the planet and their would-be plunderers in a deadlock of repetitive combat for more than two decades.; The world government, a joint coalition of national powers, would go onto create the Padeia Institute which governed the entire planet during the time of war, focusing and reinventing organized Earth defense stratagems against the invaders. A pivotal turning point in the struggle for Earth's defense came with the innovative discovery made by Dr. Kimmo Tuolema in 2072, the Morituri Process. A revolutionary two-step procedure which enabled a select percentage of Earth's populace with a very specific genetic applicability to graft a psychosomatic neurological metabolism over their original central nervous system, firstly granting them enhanced physical attributes in preparation for the next phase of their enhancement testing. The second stage involved the development and training of incredibly diverse individual superpowers that better enabled the augmented fighters to stand against whole armies by their lonesome.; But such power often came at an indescribable cost for the subject. The central nervous system overtaxed the body when the new psychic variant of a transhuman metabolism was affixed within the human body. This caused a pernicious, if not outright destructive biophysiological atrophy of the metabolism pertaining to affected enhanced subjects. The younger a subject was, the better these disastrous side effects were mitigated. Older recipients at best lasted a couple of weeks to a few days before burning out in an explosive fashion. In all scenarios, the undertakers of the process all flared up and went out with a bang as their time ran out.; The united government effectively succeed in creating a group of super heroes powerful enough to challenge their would-be devastators. However, the process would also ensure that the empowered would die within the stretch of a year's time after undergoing their transformation. The soldiers were thus augmented in such a way to focus on the heroism of their undertaking in fighting off the invaders, while living with the knowledge that their fates were sealed regardless of whether or not they prevailed. ============================================================ Mother's Embrace Kind: item Page: Mother's Embrace Formal name: Mother's Embrace Type: Spell First appearance: Thunderbolts Annual Vol 2 1 Created by: Ben Acker; Ben Blacker; Matteo Lolli Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: King Oberoth'm'gozz History: Mother's Embrace was a spell cast by "Doctor Strange" to make everyone it affected happy.

This suggests that those non-human prisoners had also been brought to Tomriv via the same inter-galactic teleportational system and that implies that there must also have been terminals on their planets of origin. History: Millions of years ago, the Nuwali set up an observational nature preserve on Earth where, over time, they contained creatures from Earth's many ages. Foreseeing the possibility that they might one day need specimens from that preserve, the Nuwali created a terminal for their teleportational system, disguised it as a fossilized bone, and planted it in the nature preserve, a region that eventually became known to modern-day humans as the Savage Land.; Centuries or millennia ago, the Nuwali decided that they needed a certain chemical, one that could be found in the adrenalin produced by humans, and they began using the artifact to transport Earth-dwellers from the Savage Land to the planet Tomriv in the Lenra galaxy. Once there, the humans were held captive so they could be periodically drained of their adrenal secretions.; In the Savage Land, members of the Karem tribe came to regard the artifact, which they called the Motyka Bone, as something sacred, presumably after witnessing people who touched it vanish. They came to believe that those who disappeared after touching the bone were sent to Heaven, and recorded everything they knew about it as scripture.; At one point, a boy named Beel watched as his father Schoed disappeared after touching the bone. Beel became determined to one day break the spell of the Motyka's power and perhaps bring back his father, but the Motyka Bone was somehow lost for decades.; Decades later, following an explosion in the Anti-Metal mine that Parnival Plunder was operating using younger members of the Karem tribe he had tricked into working for him, the Motyka Bone was visible amongst the rubble. As it began to glow, it was observed by Beel, now the Karem chief, who hoped that his people's scriptures concerning the bone were right. A youth named Smoot found the bone and took it to Parnival who threw it away because it wasn't anti-metal. Angered by this, Smoot retrieved the bone and was holding it aloft to tell his fellows of Parnival's blasphemous action when the device activated and he disappeared, leaving the bone behind and causing the other workers to flee in a panic.; Later, Zabu found the bone and brought it to Shanna the She-Devil who planned to toss it for him. Beel arrived and attempted to warn her and Ka-Zar about the bone, but his warning came too late to prevent Shanna from disappearing. When told by Beel that the bone had taken Shanna to Heaven, Ka-Zar picked up the bone and held onto Zabu, causing them both to vanish like Shanna had.; Beel then had some of his people use wooden poles to carefully carry the Motyka Bone to his hut where he erected a shrine around it. Beel then began reciting spells from the holy words of their gods in an attempt to break the Motyka's power but nothing happened.; Meanwhile, on the planet Tomriv, Ka-Zar freed himself Smoot and Schoed from their cell, found and freed Zabu, and then was reunited with Shanna. Inspired by Ka-Zar, Schoed used the knowledge of Nuwali technology that he had acquired during his captivity to try to activate the machine that was linked to the bone that had transported him there years earlier. Although the machine on Tomriv didn't seem to respond, his actions did cause the Motyka Bone on Earth to begin glowing. As the most recent arrivals from Earth and some of the other prisoners on Tomriv attempted to escape in skyships, the Motyka Bone began to glow even more strangely until, when the machine did finally activate, the bone emitted a blinding flash of light and disintegrated into dust even as everyone who had been teleported from Earth over the centuries reappeared where the bone had been.; Ka-Zar, Shanna, Zabu, Smoot and Schoed were among those who returned to the Savage Land. Beel was reunited with his father who, like the others who had been held prisoner on Tomriv, had aged much more slowly there than he would have on Earth, and now seemed to be physically younger than his son. ============================================================ Molecular Disruptor (Deviants) Kind: item Page: Molecular Disruptor (Deviants) Formal name: Molecular Disruptor Type: Technology First appearance: Iron Man Annual Vol 1 6 Created by: Peter Gillis; Luke McDonnell Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant History: The Molecular Disruptor was a device that the Deviants used on the Eternals to seperate their mind from control of their body, effectivly killing them before the body would be disintergrated inside the Abattoricon. ============================================================ Ms. Marvel's Asgardian Axe Kind: item Page: Ms. Marvel's Asgardian Axe Type: Axe First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 509 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Nidavellir Place of destruction: Nidavellir Previous owners: Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) Material: Uru History: In a final effort against the Serpent, Iron Man was granted by Odin access to the forges of Nidavellir to forge weapons to empower a group of heroes.

It can disintegrate metal items without hurting the person holding them (e.g. making shackles disappear without harming the prisoner) and it can also be used to generate an Energy Synthecon, a powerful Glx device, which appears already configured for the people who will use it.; The full capabilities of this technology have not been disclosed yet. History: The Glx alien Chleee had a molecular transfuser among his personal effects when he crashlanded his starship on Earth. Fatally injured, Chleee asked two Terrans for help but, scared, they shot at him, not knowing that Glx biology used the bullets' metal to restore the system - so, they saved Chleee's life. Chleee noticed that the Terrans, two escaped chain-gang convicts, were connected to each other by the wrist through a chain, and mistakenly believed it was some kind of dull adornment. In payment for their help, Chleee used his molecular transfuser to disintegrate the chain, then used it again to generate an Energy Synthecon that also linked these two men by the wrists. The men protested at their new shackle; then Chleee explained that the Synthecon was not a shackle, but instead gave them superhuman powers. Chleee asked the men to try it out then, once they were cheering at the success of the test, Chleee left without saying goodbye and flew away in his starship. ============================================================ Mother Cube (Earth-9602) Kind: item Page: Mother Cube Formal name: Mother Cube Type: Power Source First appearance: Thorion of the New Asgods Vol 1 1 Created by: John Ostrander; Gary Frank Reality: Earth-9602 Additional designers: Asgods Previous owners: L'ok D'saad Notes: The Mother Cube is an amalgamation of Cosmic Cube and Mother Box.

Notes: A parchment containing eldritch-sounding incantations, of which most copies were destroyed by the Inquisition Mourning Call is presumably a reference to the books of occultism from the Cthulhu Mythos.; Its author, Philip Lemarchand, was created by Clive Barker in his novella The Hellbound Heart, which served as basis for the Hellraiser movies series. In Marvel Comics Presents Vol 1 55, he served a role similar to the authors of occult books from the Cthulhu Mythos.; The incantation "Necronomicus Cthugron De Vermis Mortis Nhgh, Ia Wotan Str'om" is inspired by names from the Cthulhu Mythos, such as Necronomicon, Cthulhu, or De Vermis Mysteriis, while Wotan is another name of Odin. History: Mourning Call were scrolls written by Philip Lemarchand, and containing a powerful necromantic spell.

When Iron Man came to destroy it, he was confronted by Myrmidon. The pair fought until Iron Man was able to reprogram the Overseer and the robot to attack and destroy each other.; The remains of the Myrmidon and the Overseer were impounded by S.H.I.E.L.D. and stored aboard the Helicarrier Adjunct. Years later, during Hydra's takeover of the United States, the Overseer was brought back online by Veronica Eden as part of her plan to wipe out all super heroes, super villains, and anybody who posed a threat to mankind. This operation also saw Myrmidon rebuilt several times into a small army.; The Myrmidons and the Overseer laid dormant after Eden's plans were postponed by her failure to take the reins of Hydra. A rookie group of vigilantes named the Paladins was also affected by this, since they were set to take part in staged fights with Hydra. The Paladins knew of the Myrmidons from Eden and broke into the Adjunct to reactivate one of the units, so they could manufacture a threat to defeat. The Myrmidon chased them off, and reactivated the Overseer, who in turn reactivated the Myrmidon army.; Afterward, the Paladin Fifty-One embarked in a quest to stop the Myrmidon, but he had been framed by his teammates as a villain. Iron Man and Captain America were led to believe by the Paladins that Fifty-One intended to activate the Myrmidon, and the heroes attempted to stop him. After being apprehended by Iron Man and Captain America, Eden led them to the Adjunct to find Fifty-One, but she turned against them to disclose her alliance with the Overseer. In turn, the super-computer betrayed Eden to reveal its intention to subjugate all of humanity. It captured Eden and unleashed the Myrmidons on the heroes. The Myrmidons pursued both Captain America aboard the Adjunct and Iron Man after he fled the ship to seek medical aid for Fifty-One. The Overseer was finally stopped when Fifty-One returned to the Helicarrier and assimilated himself into the computer, overriding the Overseer's consciousness with his own. Afterward, Fifty-One sent the Myrmidons away. ============================================================ Muramasa Blade Kind: item Page: Muramasa Blade Formal name: Muramasa Blade Other aliases: Immortal Ending Blade Type: Sword First appearance: Wolverine Vol 3 40 Created by: Daniel Way; Javier Saltares Reality: Earth-616; Earth-6160; Earth-30847 Origin: Japanese; Magical Lead designer: Muramasa Place of creation: Jasmine Falls Current owner: Wolverine (Logan) Previous owners: Captain America (Steve Rogers); Cyclops (Scott Summers); Daken (Akihiro); Muramasa; The Beast of the Hand; Solem; Sevyr Blackmore; Death Grip Alternate owners: Victor Creed (Earth-6160); James Howlett (Earth-30847); Eric Brooks (Earth-358) Properties: This second Muramasa Blade was forged by Muramasa by using a piece of Wolverine's soul, just as he used a piece of his own when he forged the Black Blade. This second sword is also made of an unknown alloy that was originally bright red in color, but now has the color of a conventional blade. However, much like the Black Blade, this sword is also extremely durable and is capable of cutting almost any substance. The blade has easily cut through the armor of a S.H.I.V.A. robot on a molecular level and has also "sliced" one of Cyclops' optic beams into several different beams and reflected them in different directions.; The sword is also capable of greatly reducing the efficiency of a superhumanly fast healing rate. Wolverine himself has stated that the sword is the only thing on Earth that can truly kill him. For example, during a battle with Captain America, Wolverine was injured with the sword. Though the wound was minor, it remained inflamed and didn't fully heal for a period of several days. Another, more recent example, involved Wolverine using the sword to slice off the right arm of a Sabretooth's clone created by Romulus and to decapitate him moments later. The Sabretooth clone attempted to hold his severed arm in place so that the tissues would reconnect, as the original Sabretooth did after having his right hand sliced off by Wolverine's Adamantium claws. The arm merely falls back to the ground.; Another facet of the Muramasa that Logan mentioned was that they can cut through solid Adamantium with the utmost ease. Something that becomes evident by how a newly forged blade can cleave the all but indestructible skin of Solem in one cut. As well as with how Daken's Adamantium sheathes served to prevent his Muramasa Claws from fatally incapacitating his healing factor; not preventing their release. Slugs made from the blade can penetrate solid Adamantium skeletons.; During the fight between Daken and the X-Men, it was discovered that the blade could not cut through Armor's psychic shields, which was powered by her ancestors' memories. Another limitation is that cutting around the damaged tissue will allow the victim's healing factor to begin functioning again as normal. Muramasa would later fashion two new blades in the malefic demon realm owned by the Beast, this time they would embody the entirety of their creators being body and soul gifting them unknown power. Notes: Daken had a broken piece of the blade for a while, from which he had a claw made by the Tinkerer.; A radicalized self-help group known as the Orphans of X stole and melted down the Muramasa Blade and its fragments into bullets as revenge against all Weapon X affiliates.; Sensing the need for a counterbalance, Muramasa used once again fragments of Wolverine's soul in secret to make a shield to defend against the blade. Trivia: In the crossover fighting game Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, the Muramasa Blade makes an appearance in Vergil's ending where he steals the sword from Wolverine in order to gain more power. This Muramasa Blade seems to combine the properties of the two "Muramasa Blade" that appeared in the comics.; This version of the Muramasa Blade is similar in appearance to the second Muramasa Blade and it's also capable of greatly reducing the efficiency of healing factors, however, this blade seems to have psychological side-effects on its wielder similar to the first Muramasa Blade. History: ===Origins===; The story of the second Muramasa Blade started after the end of World War II when Logan was seeking redemption for his past actions. Under Ogun's advice he went to Jasmine Falls, Japan, where he studied with Bando Saburo, in order to learn how to be a man and leave his warrior nature behind. During his fourth year of training, Logan met and fell in love with a local woman, named Itsu they married and conceived a child together which filled Logan with joy.; One day while Logan was proving himself worthy of being a father in combat, Muramasa created an explosion that caused Logan to accidentally stab a villager with his claws. As a result, Logan was banned from the village, but before leaving he wanted to say one last good-bye to Itsu. Returning to their self-built home, Logan found Itsu murdered, by the Winter Soldier, supposedly under Romulus' orders.; After Itsu's death, Logan disappeared for a month, during this time he went to see Muramasa so he could help him to "kill 'em all." Muramasa accepted, and promised to forge him a "mighty blade -...- against which all... even one as great as you... will fall". To create this mighty blade, Muramasa used a piece of Logan's soul and Logan's own blood, he then used his powers to focus on Logan's rage and extract it in order to bond it to the metal of the blade.; The process took many years, but the blade was prepared for Logan and after he recovered his memories and learned the location of the blade from the Silver Samurai he went to see Muramasa to claim it. Muramasa gladly gave this "red sword" to him, telling him to "wield it like an angry god".; ===Quest for Revenge===; The blade now in his possession, Wolverine started his quest for revenge against those who manipulated him through the years, he first used the blade against a S.H.I.V.A. robot, cutting it in half with a single blow. Later research of the remains of the robot showed that it was not cut, but rather "sliced, on the molecular level". The scientist who was doing the research theorized, that the instrument could have been some sort of plasmic form.; Later after defeating Nuke, the blade was taken from Wolverine by Captain America, who used it against him, leaving a scar on his chest, which oddly didn't heal as usual and turned Wolverine feral. After the fight was over and after he retrieved his sword, Wolverine gave it to Cyclops, explaining it by saying: "This is the only thing in the world that can put me down for good."; During his quest, Wolverine found what appeared to be Sabretooth, but his foe had regressed to being no more than a feral animal. After attacking Wolverine, this feral Sabretooth killed Feral, which prompted Wolverine to get his Muramasa blade back from Cyclops in order to confront his foe near the cabin he used to live with Silver Fox years ago. Armed with the Muramasa Blade, Wolverine was able to easily defeat this feral Sabretooth by cutting his right arm off, he then beheaded him while wishing him a "Happy Birthday."; After discovering the existence of Romulus, the person who supposedly manipulated him during his whole life, and that his son, Daken, was alive, Wolverine gave the sword back to Cyclops and continued his quest for revenge without it. Some time later, Logan met with Nick Fury and they understood that Daken was after the Muramasa blade in order to have the metal bonded to his bones and becoming unstoppable. Before Wolverine could warn the X-Men of Daken's plan, Cyclops decided to take matter into his own hands and almost got himself and his squad of X-Men killed by Daken. Logan managed to save them and stopped his son from getting the Muramasa blade, but unfortunately a piece of the blade was retrieved by Daken and with the help of both Romulus and the Tinkerer, two of his claws were bonded with the metal of the Muramasa blade.; Later on, Black Widow helped Wolverine retrieved the broken Muramasa blade again when Omega Red was hunting him. It came down to a final showdown and Wolverine stabbed Omega Red through the heart with the blade which killed him just before being confronted by Romulus.; Wolverine managed to defeat him, but Romulus reminded him that no matter what happened, if Wolverine killed him he would be at the "top of the food chain," and he would have to kill his son next because there could be only one person at the top. Wolverine shocked by this reveal decided to let Romulus live but he vowed to destroy his empire but as Wolverine turned his back and lowered his guard, Romulus used this opportunity to knock him out and then left him alone with his broken Muramasa blade.; Later on, after Romulus was out of the shadows, Daken revealed to Romulus that he wanted to kill him and take his place at the head of his empire but as he was about to strike Romulus with his Muramasa claws, Romulus was teleported away by Cloak. Romulus was transported by Cloak near the Howlett Estate, in here Wolverine slashed Romulus with the Muramasa Blade but didn't kill him, instead he made sure that Romulus would be trapped in the Darkforce dimension forever.; At the same time Daken, now all alone and without any means to kill Romulus and take his place, was confronted by Logan armed with the Muramasa Blade. Thanks to the lessons of the Silver Samurai, Logan was able to easily defeat Daken and removed his Muramasa claws. He then hid both Daken's claws and the broken Muramasa blade in an unmarked grave near the Howlett Estate putting an end to Romulus empire and legacy once and for all.; ===Destruction===; After Wolverine's temporary death, Carol Danvers and Laura Kinney were tricked into revealing the location of the blade and its fragments to the Orphans of X, who melted it down and forged it into several bullets.; ===New Caste===; At the onset of a pan-dimensional tournament between the distaff nations of Krakoa and Arakko, Wolverine sought out the enigmatic forgemaster Muramasa in order to fashion a new blade for him to wield in the life-or-death games.; It was drawn to his attention that the gateway responsible for merging the two islands had opened multiple breaches between various realms; one of which caused a stronger union between a radicalized faction of Hand ninja and their demonic lord, The Beast, which vastly strengthened their numbers and influence; so much so, they were able to coerce the immortal swordsmith to forge new works in their services, both in life and in death, having literally dragged him through the depths of Hell itself in order to craft new blades for a wedding ceremony.; As it happened, Logan wasn't the only one searching for a means of participating in the contest of worlds. Solem, a mutant of Arakko, had been advised by an elderly mutant seer to ferret out his own enchanted sword in the infernal afterlife. Finding his own way to the abyss, the exile was eventually imprisoned but soon found himself in new company; the same company he would likely have met in the arena. The two combatants worked together to disrupt a wedding between two lieutenants of The Beast after they had just finished dispatching the crafter who had finished forging the equivalent of their wedding rings for them.; During the scuffle Solem was wounded by one of the enchanted wedding presents; something that was thought to be impossible as his skin was made of Adamantium. In exchange for returning the favor of his would-be rival; the enigmatic grifter offered the second edge in his possession to Logan for a price.; Having accommodated the assailant's terms, Logan returned to Krakoa with the blade in hand ready to fight on Krakoa's behalf.; Sometime later, Logan had the Muramasa Blade along with the Adamantium Armor locked away in a hidden vault in the Aleutian Islands to be used as a contingency plan if he ever were to lose his powers. After getting depowered by Sabretooth with the Neutralizer, Logan traveled to the hidden bunker to retrieve the blade along with the armor to use against the Sabretooth Army. ============================================================ Mutant Growth Hormone Kind: item Page: Mutant Growth Hormone Formal name: Mutant Growth Hormone Other aliases: Banshee; The Bullet; Diamond; I.G.H.; M.G.H.; MGH; MGN "Steroids for powers"; Superhuman Growth Hormone; X-Hormone Mutagen Type: Drug First appearance: Amazing Adventures Vol 2 11 Created by: Gerry Conway; Tom Sutton Lead designer: X-Gene Additional designers: Dr. Henry McCoy PhD Previous owners: Doctor Strange; Nitro; Magneto; Patriot; Reginald Mantz Properties: ===Origin===; While it is most of the time extracted from mutants, it can also be extracted/synthesized from other super-powered individuals, but the source of their superpowers must alter their genetic make-up. For example, the Owl or Spider-Woman are not mutants, but their powers come from genetic mutations, and they were both used as MGH sources. Recently, it appears to be derived from Inhumans and is often referred to as I.G.H.; ===Effects===; The MGH is a drug having effects on the superhuman capacities of the users and varies according to the user' initial abilities.; MGH is known to be highly addictive especially in baseline humans, and a known side effect of MGH use is increased aggression.; ====On Humans====; When used by baseline humans, will result what's known as a "temporary genetic shift". In other words, it temporarily grants super powers like flight, fire breath, teleportation, or increased strength to its users.; Most of the time, the powers are duplicates of those belonging to the donor, but results are known to vary.; ====On Mutants and Other Metahumans====; When MGH is used by a mutant or a metahuman, it increases the powers they already possess.; It was described by Nitro as "steroids for powers".; In a related but different way, Magneto had an MGH chemist produce for him a refined MGH of his own DNA, in order to grant him a higher level of power. It is unclear if Magneto looked for the power-granting or the power-boosting effects of his own MGH.; ====On Depowered Mutants====; Blob, a depowered mutant, had his own powers (temporarily) restored thanks to Dazzler's MGH.; ===Methods of Use===; MGH is most commonly available in tablet or capsule forms for oral ingestion. However, MGH can also be made available in a liquid form for intramuscular injection or a gaseous form for inhalation.; In House of M reality, MGH is used on vegetables, and those produces are recommended in order to obtain mutant offspring and are said to encourage a healthy gene stock.; ===Legal Status===; MGH is an illegal drug. Possession, trade and consumption is completely illegal in the United States. Other countries have passed similar laws.; ==List of Earth-616 Dealers and Users==; ===Sources===; Dazzler (Alison Blaire); Magneto For his own use; Nekra Sinclair; Owl (Leland Owlsley) Mutate; Spider-Woman (Mattie Franklin) Mutate; Whirlwind (David Cannon); ===Dealers===; Clan Orii (NY City branch); Black Cat's Gang; Black Cat (Felicia Hardy); Hammerhead (Joseph); Roman; Brotherhood in Madripoor; Mystique (Raven Darkhölme); Sabretooth (Victor Creed); Erg; Charlie Hustle; Denny Haynes; Diamondback (Willis Stryker), under the name of Diamond; Mister Hyde (Calvin Zabo) Selling his Hyde Formula as MGH; Owl (Leland Owlsley); Pusher Man; Vanisher (Telford Porter); Walter Declun, CEO of Damage Control Not a dealer, but a provider; White Rabbit (Lorina Dodson); ===Users=== Notes: On Earth-807128, Natalie X was enhanced using "Superhuman Growth Hormone". History: ===Early Use===; The Mutant Growth Hormone, or MGH, has been marketed and available even before the start of the super-hero age: Wilson Fisk had access to it before he became a powerful crime lord and it was also available before Dr. Stephen Strange studied magic in the 1960s.; After these events, biochemist Dr. Henry McCoy, while working for the Brand Corporation on Long Island, developed an experimental serum that purportedly acted as a catalyst to activate latent mutations, with effects similar to the MGH. This may have been either a re-discovery of the MGH, or alternatively a different chemical compound.; ===Dealers and Users===; Years later, an unknown party provided a crowd with an experimental drug that gave them powers similar to some popular super-humans such as Thor, Cyclops, or Daredevil. The drug also made them extremely aggressive. Iron Man managed to control the situation. It is, however, unclear if this was exactly a release of MGH, or a similar drug.; Stephen Strange, the man who would later become the hero Doctor Strange, used MGH from street dealers to try and control the pain in his hands after disfiguring them in a car accident.; The MGH reached prominence when the mutate crime lord, Owl began refining his own genetic material to obtain a drug he could sell, trying to build a new criminal empire with the profits. Daredevil stopped him.; The Vanisher sold "designer genes" on the black market -- later confirmed in a Marvel handbook to be MGH -- until he was stopped by the X-Men.; At one point, Mattie Franklin, the third Spider-Woman, fell in with and was abducted by a man named Denny Haynes. For weeks, Haynes kept Mattie high and sedated while harvesting her blood and tissue from a wound on her back. While strung out, Mattie entered the apartment of Jessica Jones, but quickly fled before she could be questioned. After the encounter, Jones began investigating Mattie's disappearance. Jones was able to rescue and return Mattie to her foster parents, the Jamesons, after a team-up with Jessica Drew, the original Spider-Woman.; The Young Avenger, Patriot was a regular user of MGH. Having no superpowers, he lied to his friends and teammates, claiming to have inherited his grandfather's powers via a blood transfusion. When his secret was revealed, Patriot was ashamed and quit the team. (He later rejoined the team after receiving an actual blood transfusion from his grandfather that did give him the powers of a true Super Soldier).; The Runaways and the New Avengers found some evidence of the superhero, Cloak, beating his partner, Dagger, which landed her in the hospital. However, after chasing Cloak, they discovered that the attack had been performed by orderly Reginald Mantz who mimicked Cloak's power with MGH.; At some point, the TV documentary show 60 Minutes ran an episode about MGH.; ===Civil War===; During the Civil War, Wolverine discovered that the super-villain Nitro used MGH to increase his power level, which allowed him to annihilate Stamford, Connecticut. It was revealed that his provider was none other than Walter Declun, the CEO of Damage Control, using Nitro to generate damages in order to create contracts for his business.; ===Endangered Species===; While trying to reverse the effects of M-Day which robbed most of the world's mutants of their powers and X-Genes, Beast and Bishop shook down an MGH dealer named Charlie Hustle to obtain active MGH samples. Unfortunately, they discovered like most mutants, most MGH lost its viability. Hustle possessed only viable samples of Whirlwind which he sold for a fortune.; ===Utopia/Dark X-Men===; To convince Weapon Omega to join the Dark X-Men, Norman Osborn affected a building site and a school with MGH gas, making all humans in those areas become temporary mutants, and possible targets for Omega's powers. According to a conversation between Dark Beast and Norman, they had many active MGH samples left, and the resources to make it again.; During the Fear, a few drug dealers used MGH on themselves in an attempt to impersonate the ancestral spirits of the Navajo population near the town of Bleachville. This ruse, part of a scheme to spark conflict between the Navajo nation and the townsfolk, was executed at the behest of the town's mayor while the two populations were competing for a development contract. The ploy failed when American Eagle immediately saw through the impostors' cliched attempts at appropriating Navajo cultural traditions. The origin of this MGH is unknown.; ===Madripoor===; Not long after Dazzler accepted a position as Mutant Liaison to S.H.I.E.L.D., she was abducted by Mystique. Mystique masquerade as Dazzler while keeping the real Dazzler comatose on Madripoor and harvesting MGH from her for months. She was eventually rescued by Magneto.; During a training session, Emma Frost took young Jean Grey to Madripoor to break up Blob's MGH smuggling ring.; ===American Kaiju===; Todd Ziller was a volunteer in the new Super-Soldier process. They could not recreate the serum so they used existing transformative substances. The final result included Gamma enhancements, Mutant Growth Hormone, Pym Particles, and the Connors Formula.

Notes: * The Necronomicon from H.P. Lovecraft's stories and the Cthulhu Mythos is the mystical equivalent of Marvel's Darkhold, though it has been stated that the Necronomicon was derived from a small part of lore from the Shiatra Book of the Damned, another name of the Darkhold. and also that both were imperfect copies of the ancient writings etched on the walls of R'llyeh, who had been produced by ancient beings, later confirmed to be the Great Old Ones.; The Necronomicon might or might not be appearing in possession of various people, including Ralph Halley, or Myrna Lukaikas.; Michael the Necromancer possessed a "Mini Necronomicon" which he used to perform resurrection/zombification spells. It is unknown if that book is actually a pocket book format of the Necronomicon, or another book altogether. Trivia: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 13 is named "Starkronomicron", a reference to the Necronomicon. The issue also includes a mention of Lovecraft.; The famous verse of the Necronomicon, "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die!", mentioned in "The Call of Cthulhu" (1928) by H.P. Lovecraft, has been referenced on occasion:; In Thanos Imperative Vol 1 3 (October, 2010), when Thanos studied the events that led to the corruption of Reality-10011 into the Cancerverse, he mentioned that the "chthonic entities" showed Mar-Vell (then dying from cancer) "one simple truth", "even death may die". The sentence was repeated by Mar-Vell in Thanos Imperative Vol 1 6 (January, 2011).; In "Strange Aeons", Part 1 (Valkyrie: Jane Foster Vol 1 6; In "Station Five" (Sabretooth & the Exiles Vol 1 5 History: ===Origin in the 8th century===; The Necronomicon was a powerful tome of black magic created by Abdul Alhazred, the Mad Arab, in the 8th century. It was one of the most powerful tomes on magic, and presumably magnified Alhazred's powers.; There are multiple origin for the knowledge of the Necronomicon;; The Necronomicon was derived from a small part of lore from the Shiatra Book of the Damned (The Darkhold), or was based/patterned after it. The Darkhold was created by Chthon, one of the Elder Gods.; The Atlantean Logomancer theorized that both the Necronomicon and the Darkhold, as well as the Oracles of Zoroaster and other mystic scrolls and books, were in fact just imperfect copies of the ancient writings etched on the walls of R'llyeh, the city of the Aqueos (incorrectly believed to be "Atlantean Vampires"), who had been produced by ancient beings, the Great Old Ones, among which Chthon was allegedly the greatest (despite being an Elder Gods).; The knowledgge of the Necronomicon, as well as of the Forbidden Rites, The Lesser Key of Solomon and the Grimorium Verum, was originated from an ancient, advanced race who once walked the Earth before being vanished, leaving no trace safe for some of their secret science, stolen from them by humans, and by which they might one day return. For safety, that knowledge was scattered to pieces, some through the aforementioned books. Such description fits the Great Old Ones, the degenerated Elder Gods of Earth, and multiple other races, demons, and gods.; The book was banned and dreaded for centuries, while becoming legendary. For a time in most of Europe, owning the Necronomicon Verum would get the owner executed (as would the owner of other tomes such as Forbidden Rites, The Lesser Key of Solomon and the Grimorium Verum.; ===Late 19th-early 20th centuries===; In Providence, Rhode Island, a copy was kept in the church used by the Starry Wisdom cult which remained when they were driven out in the 1880s. Robert Blake recognized it when he explored the church as he had earlier learned about the book from correspondence with a reclusive scholar native to Providence.; ===Modern Age===; In 1935, near Schwartzhof, Austria, the Witch of the Hills used the spells of the "forbidden tome of Alhazred", and invoked the names of the demons Yngvi and Dyktawo to summon Satan (Lucifer) on behalf of the Gypsy Lucio Nuti who wanted revenge over Baron Krutze and his heirs, corrupt and tyrannous nobles who had destroyed his family.; When Isaiah Curwen was denied the papacy, he extensively studied a part of the Vatican Library which housed the most complete collection of books on the dark arts, including the Necronomicon. The Scarlet Witch considered the book an abomination and mistakenly believed it had long been destroyed. What appeared to be Agatha Harkness at the time, however, stated that it would be useful in helping shed light on Wanda's nature as a Nexus being. Doctor Strange possessed a copy.; Other people may or may not possess it as well (see notes).; While studying extensively the occult, including vampire and werewolf matters, Elizabeth Nikos read the Necronomicon. She possessed the pages that listed every vampire ever born or created, intending to kill them all. The Necronomicon was also accessible through at least one digital library (used by Jeff Bannister, who described it as one of the best in the world).; During the Aqueos' hostilities towards Atlantis, Namor tasked Loa to read the darkest of the dark books. Doing so, she found an obscure footnote about the old vampiric races and the cause of the Aqueos' strength when near their home territory, as they were power-boosted by the eldritch energy radiated by the Aqueos' elders, beings known as the Old Ones. She also read about the Undying Ones.; Meredith Winters somehow acquired it, and read at a book club, which included Agatha Harkness and May Parker, an incantation summoning a portal. Harkness was able to destroy the Necronomicon, causing Meredith's death.; ==Contents==; ===Summoning===; The Necronomicon contained instructions on how to summon "strange creatures and stranger gods", including Satan (Lucifer).; One such incantation, opening a portal from which a tentacled being emerged, was the following:; YOG! SOTHOTH!: ===Vampires===; YOG! SOTHOTH!: It included an obscure footnote about the old vamp-races, mentioned the ancient Aqueos and their eldritch energy radiation power-boost to Aqueos warriors/drones.; YOG! SOTHOTH!: The Necronomicon also listed every Vampires ever born or created, including a section with only first names, referring to infant vampire babies kept in a secret hospital ward.; YOG! SOTHOTH!: ===Undying Ones===; YOG! SOTHOTH!: It also mentioned the Undying Ones, the waning of their power, and them consequently fleeing Earth (despite the fact this event occurred 1000 years ago, and the Necronomicon was written before, during the 8th century). ============================================================ Nautilium Kind: item Page: Nautilium Formal name: Nautilium Type: Material First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 66 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Attuma History: A rare metal found at the oceans' depths that when exposed to air, combines with oxygen, increasing its density and making it moist so that Atlanteans can breathe normally above water (making it equally difficult for humans to breathe).; Attuma claimed that Nautilium was so rare, he could only find enough to create one shell for his giant cannon. ============================================================ Namorita's Magic Earring Kind: item Page: Namorita's Magic Earring Formal name: Magical Buccaneer Earring Other aliases: Communication Earring Type: Jewel First appearance: Sub-Mariner Vol 2 55 Created by: Bill Everett Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Atlantean Previous owners: Namorita; Namor Model: Unique Jewel Trivia: The earrings eventually disappeared and both Namorita and Namor gained the ability to communicate to each other via a psychic rapport. History: After Namor was reunited with his cousin, Namorita, he left her in the care of a surface woman (his long-time friend, Betty Dean-Prentiss). Worried that Namor would forget about her, Nita gave him one of her buccaneer earrings. Namorita claimed that it had magic powers and that it would remind him of her. With both Namor and Namorita wearing one earring each, she thought they would never really be apart. Namor humored her gesture and took the earring.; Namorita's favorite teacher Victoria Starr went missing after her car crashed through a guard rail and drove into the ocean. It was then she used the magic of the earrings to contact Namor, revealing that the earrings were indeed magical and that they could be used to send messages to each other via mystic means. ============================================================ Nano Particle Armor (Earth-9119) Kind: item Page: Nano Particle Armor Formal name: Nano Particle Armor Type: Iron Man Armor; Technology First appearance: Iron Man: The End Vol 1 1 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton; Bernard Chang Reality: Earth-9119 Lead designer: Anthony Stark Additional designers: Nick Travis Place of creation: San Diego, California Current owner: Nick Travis History: After Ultra Dynamo was able to easily counter the Smart Metal Armor. Nick Travis altered the armor making this version with specific counters to the Ultra Dynamo armor, this included:; Restraint foam was developed to counter the Ultra Dynamo's microids.; Instead of the traditional repulsors, the suit uses solar-heated "hard air" cannons.; The unibeam primarily was a fusion "duron" beam. ============================================================ Mysterio Avatars Kind: item Page: Mysterio Avatars Formal name: Mysterio Avatars Type: Drone; Robot First appearance: Ultimate Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 3 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; David Lafuente Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Robotic avatar Lead designer: Mysterio Previous owners: Mysterio Material: Technology Properties: The Mysterio Avatars are robotic bodies that can be remote-controlled by their users from a virtual reality base which broadcasts on an unknown frequency. Their users can feel any damage that is inflicted upon them on their own bodies through the neural connection they share.; These avatars are capable of shooting electric blasts through their hands and casting illusions. They also come equipped with guns and prayer beads. The prayer beads emit a powerful chemical used to enhance the illusions the avatars cast. Notes: Though different models of avatars are seen in Mysterio's lair in Spider-Men Vol 1 1, just one of them is seen being used by him to commit crimes on Earth-1610.; Upon coming across a destroyed Mysterio Avatar for the second time, the Iron Man of Earth-1610 noted how "fascinating" its tech was. He also claimed it was "above and beyond" him before correcting himself, and saying it was actually "to the side of [him]". History: The Mysterio Avatars were a series of robotic avatars created by the Mysterio of Earth-616 to interact with Earth-1610 without leaving his home reality. He used these avatars to commit multiple crimes in the alternate universe, including the assassination of its native Kingpin.; After the Spider-Man of Earth-1610 foiled his plans twice, Mysterio ditched his avatars and tried to kill the hero with his own hands, but resumed their use after almost being subdued by Shroud. Mysterio lost two of his avatars after that: one when he fought the Black Cat over the Zodiac Key she stole from the late Kingpin's archives, and the other when he tried to kill the Spider-Man of his universe.; Following his return to Earth-616 after some time imprisoned on Earth-1610, Mysterio carried on with his criminal career, but did not use his avatars again ever since. ============================================================ Mutant Amplifier (Earth-6109) Kind: item Page: Mutant Amplifier Formal name: Mutant Amplifier Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Created by: Robert Love Reality: Earth-6109 Origin: Designed by S.H.I.E.L.D to super-charge mutant powers Lead designer: S.H.I.E.L.D.

Model: Prototype Version: 1.0 Trivia: Although it has been mentioned by many people, the actual model does not make an appearance and Nightcrawler does not seem to have any changes to his body after having his mutant powers amplified. However, the mutant amplifier is mentioned to be harmful to mutants that use it, overtaxing their powers and killing them over time. History: The Mutant Amplifier was stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D. by the Masters of Evil then while Nightcrawler and Jean Grey where visiting Muir Island when Ultron sent his drone's on Dr Doom's behalf to kidnap them both he then gave Jean Gray to Arcade where he used mind control on her to distract the heroes while Nightcrawler made an failed escape attempt out of Castle Doom. Dr Doom used the Mutant Amplifier on Nightcrawler to create a portal to Mephisto's Realm and the heroes followed where after a long battle with demons, fire giants and Blackheart the heroes are forced to choose between the two X-Men. ============================================================ Needful Kind: item Page: Needful Formal name: Needful Type: Sword First appearance: Supernatural Thrillers Vol 1 3 Created by: Roy Thomas; Gerry Conway; Gil Kane Origin: Asgardian Previous owners: Thor History: Needful was the name Thor gave to the sword he used during his time as the Earth heroes Siegmund and Siegfried. ============================================================ Mutant Power Enhancer Kind: item Page: Mutant Power Enhancer Formal name: Mutant Power Enhancer Type: Technology First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 8 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Beast Place of creation: Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Westchester County, New York Current owner: Beast History: The Mutant Power Enhancer was designed and built by the Beast to increase Unus' powers, so that he could no longer control them.; When the X-Men confronted Unus again, Beast used the device he previously used to deactivate Unus' powers; however, Unus had since become immune to the ray's effects, thanks to the secret machinations of Lucifer. ============================================================ Mutant Burn Out (Earth-161) Kind: item Page: Mutant Burn Out Formal name: Mutant Burn Out Other aliases: Burn Out Type: Disease First appearance: X-Men Forever Vol 2 5 Created by: Chris Claremont; Tom Grummett Reality: Earth-161 History: Mutant Burn Out is an affliction that is unique to the Mutants of Earth-161. In this reality, the unique DNA structure of Mutants eventually causes a mutant to eventually burn out and die due to their powers. The length of time varies depending on the mutant and what their abilities are, but for the most part most mutants have not lived past the age of sixty with some exceptions. For example the mutants Wolverine and Sabertooth both lived longer lives due to the fact that their mutant Healing Factors slowed the process of Burn Out, however by the modern age Sabertooth --older than his son Logan-- began showing signs of Burn Out after being incapable of regenerating new eyes after being blinded by the Storm Bio-Synth and being incapable of growing a new hand after it was severed by a subway train while battling the Consortium. Other Mutants who have been said to be immune are Mystique due to her unique physiology, this was also passed to her son Nightcrawler who passed it on to his adopted sister Rogue due to prolonged physical contact that caused them to switch powers. Another long lived mutant, seeming immune to burn out is Mr. Sinister who lives in a state of perpetual childhood.; For the longest time the only ones aware of Mutant Burn Out were Charles Xavier, his associate Moira MacTaggert, as well as the anti-mutant Consortium, until the X-Men discovered the professor's secret. Following to the greater discovery of Mutant Burn Out, the Beast continued research along with Xavier until the Beast's death at the hands of the Consortium and Xavier being taken to Shi'ar space to answer to crimes he committed against the empire, leaving only Moira MacTaggert as the lone researcher working with the X-Men for a cure. The Consortium attempted to use a device to speed up the effects of Burn Out, but this plot was foiled by the X-Men. Mister Sinister also has been seeking a cure for Burn Out, but to date he has as yet been unsuccessful.; Mutants who have shown signs of Burn Out include the aforementioned Sabertooth, Magneto and Fabian Cortez the latter having died due to the affliction.; As of this time there is no known cure, but the X-Men remain devoted to working to find one. ============================================================ Mutivac Kind: item Page: Mutivac Formal name: Mutivac Type: Technology First appearance: Firestar Vol 1 1 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Mary Wilshire Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Mutants detector Lead designer: Emma Frost Previous owners: Emma Frost; Hellfire Club Properties: Mutant Detection: Mutivac was able to detect mutant brain waves across the globe. Unlike Cerebro, Mutivac can be operated by anyone not just telepaths. Trivia: Multivac was a fictional supercomputer used by Isaac Asimov in over a dozen of his science fiction stories. History: Mutivac was a device similar to Charles Xavier's Cerebro, developed by Emma Frost to track mutants.; It was used to find Firestar in New Jersey. ============================================================ Multi-Tek Plant Hire X-02 (Earth-928) Kind: item Page: Multi-Tek Plant Hire X-02 Formal name: Multi-Tek Plant Hire X-02 Type: Robot First appearance: Punisher 2099 Vol 1 2 Created by: Pat Mills; Tony Skinner; Tom Morgan Reality: Earth-928 Current owner: Matt Axel ============================================================ Multi-Tek Plant Hire X-04 (Earth-928) Kind: item Page: Multi-Tek Plant Hire X-04 Formal name: Multi-Tek Plant Hire X-04 Type: Robot First appearance: Punisher 2099 Vol 1 2 Created by: Pat Mills; Tony Skinner; Tom Morgan Reality: Earth-928 Current owner: Matt Axel ============================================================ Nano-Sentinels Kind: item Page: Nano-Sentinels Formal name: Nano-Sentinels Other aliases: Sentinites Type: Robot First appearance: New X-Men Vol 1 123 Created by: Grant Morrison; Ethan van Sciver; Tom Derenick Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Sentinels Lead designer: Bastion Additional designers: Cassandra Nova, Forge Properties: The main purpose of the nano-sentinels is the initiation of a transformation process that steadily converts living beings into murderous cyborgs and eventually, into full on robots. These Sentinites can also be re-purposed into a type of airborne sickness which spreads and infects individuals carrying the X-Gene, simulating flu like symptoms in the affected subject before causing debilitating weakness and eventual bio-degradation in a host. Or stimulating sentinel like qualities through splicing into a person's amygdala, turning them into a ravenous mutant hater while also giving them the same genetic scanning ability as previous Sentinel generations. When a person infected with a Sentinite detects a mutant, they will instinctively act to kill them; meanwhile, if they themselves are a mutant, then they will follow through on the hunter/killer programming before ultimately attempt to commit suicide. History: Initially derived as a protoform in order to convert weak Human flesh into an emotionless murderous chassis via the process of bio-metallic robotization. The Nano-Sentinels were later re-purposed as an artificial sickness discovered in mutant blood cells by Beast.; Arms dealer Kade Kilgore later pretended to be in the possession of these Sentinites in order to lure Kid Omega, Morph and Hindsight out from the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach to attend a Kilgore Industries auction where Fenris and other such associated villains would attempt to buy them.; An updated version developed by Forge while under the influence of Cassandra Nova not only allowed normal humans to detect the presence of the X-Gene, but also drove them to kill mutants on impulse. Before implanting it on several world leaders, Nova infected Storm with a Sentinite in order to attack the X-Men in Wakanda. Nova used the Sentinites to attack the X-Men a second time by infecting Teen Abomination with one after the mutant heroes had moved near Atlantis.; When one of the X-Men's newest recruits, the techopath Trinary, attempted to reach out to all the Sentinites that Nova had spread over the world, she caught notice of Cassandra's plan to release swarms of Sentinites on all major cities. The X-Men joined forces with Trinary, giving her enough strength to connect to every single Sentinite and destroy them, putting an end to Nova's plan. ============================================================ Natter Energy-Egg Kind: item Page: Natter Energy-Egg Formal name: Natter Energy-Egg Type: Technology First appearance: Questprobe Vol 1 1 Created by: Scott Adams; John Byrne; Mark Gruenwald; Bill Mantlo; John Romita, Sr. Reality: Earth-616 History: The Natter Energy-Egg was a protective device used by an ancient alien species. When this aliens defeated the malevolent inorganic Bio-Gem and shattered it in many independently-thinking fragments that they scattered through the universe, the aliens placed one Egg to safeguard each of the pieces. The Eggs were the natural nemesis of the Gem and they self-destroyed with an explosion, taking the nearby Gem with them, whenever they detected the Gem trying to escape from their prison directly or not -e.g., the Eggs exploded if the Gem tried to use a computer in a way that the Egg could detect as forbidden. The Egg also exploded whenever someone else touched it. The Gem aimed to obliterate all organic life in the universe.; Many years later, the pirate starship armada Black Fleet, sharing the Gem's goal, discovered how to neutralize the Eggs and then enslave the Bio-Gem into bio-matter harness to use them as a power source - in a process that destroyed the Gem. When they approached the planet Scadam, the Bio-Gem there feared for its integrity. Local Scadamites, unaware of the presence of the Bio-Gem, also panicked. One of the Scadamites, Durgan the Philosopher, built a robotic agent called Chief Examiner and sent it to the planet Earth to gather superpowers from the locals that he could use as weaponry. The Bio-Gem discreetly tracked the Examiner's efforts, trying to not alert the Egg.; The Chief Examiner's first target was the Hulk. Before the Examiner reached the Hulk, the Bio-Gem telepathically contacted with the Hulk and showed its own plight, where the Egg could explode at any time; but the simple-minded Hulk disregarded the weird image. The Examiner later submitted the Hulk to a test in Scadam where the Hulk was to gather and deliver number of gems; during this test, the Hulk found the Bio-Gem and the Energy Egg, and snatched the Bio-Gem without the Egg intervening.; Soon afterward, the Black Fleet reached one planet, ravaged its population, then disabled the local Energy-Egg and assimilated the local Bio-Gem. Scadam's Bio-Gem, who was in contact with its peer, was aghast and looked for a way to escape from its own guarding Egg. It tried to recruit the Chief Examiner's second target, Spider-Man, with a message similar to the one it had used on the Hulk; but Spider-Man identified the Gem as evil and rejected its influence. The Bio-Gem tried to control the Chief Examiner and Spider-Man's enemy Mysterio without alerting the Egg of its intentions; but, when keeping control of them proved too difficult, the Bio-Gem was forced to release them.; By then, however, the Bio-Gem's activities were detected by Scadamite young philosopher Tuskar, who tracked the power sources to the Bio-Gem's location in an abandoned and forbidden museum. Tuskar found the Gem and the Egg, and instintively tried to touch the Egg. He was stopped by Durgan, appearing via videoconference. Durgan knew of the Egg's features -albeit not of the Gem's sentience- and warned Tuskar of the danger.; Later even, the Bio-Gem found a way to manipulate nearby computers without alerting the Energy-Egg, and it did so to take control over the Chief Examiner and trap Durgan. Durgan was eventually released and the Bio-Gem returned to its prison, next to the Egg.; Scadam was eventually attacked by the Black Fleet and the Scadamites were almost exterminated before the Black Fleet was destroyed by a visiting Earthling. Durgan died in the battle. The Energy-Egg's status is unknown. ============================================================ Necklace of Bodil Kind: item Page: Necklace of Bodil Formal name: Necklace of Bodil Type: Amulet First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 4 23 Created by: Dennis Hallum; Niko Henrichon Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Properties: Summoning: Powered by dark magic, the Necklace of Bodil grants its wearer the ability to summon a massive army of unkillable ghost bears, while cursing them with becoming a mindless werebear once a month.

How Costigan came across a copy is unrevealed. As Costigan mentioned the volume as "Black Book", it could indicate that he had access to a Düsseldorf edition (or the "black book" name could have been used loosely).; Jedediah, living in Witch House in Penmallow, in Cornwall, England, possessed a copy of "Nameless Cults" within his massive collection of knowledge of the occult arts, older wisdoms, magic, and necromancy. His nephew Henry Gordon inherited of it. The copy was presumably lost when Witch House was destroyed by Doctor Strange.; Herr Tussmann used his English copy of "Nameless Cults" to find the pre-columbian Temple of the Toad in Central America, built by a different race. There, he found the toad-shaped jewel, a key that he used to open the tomb, thus awakening the Toad God, which stalked him back home to retrieve the jewel. The fate of this copy remains unrevealed.; John Stark possessed a copy of the extremely rare Düsseldorf edition of the book, called the Black Book.; Myrna Lukaikas seemingly possessed a copy of Nameless Cults (the spine of the book, incomplete, was "Unnass... Ku..."), as well as a book by or about Von Junzt, as part of her collection on occult matters.; ==Content==; The book was known as the Black Book due to its dark contents.

Ben decided to take Johnny Storm on the search for the Multisect, under the pretense that Reed's message indicated that he and the rest of the family were alive, in hopes to help him overcome his grief.; Ben mistakenly took Johnny to Monster Island, since that was the place of the Fantastic Four's first adventure. After coming empty-handed, Ben realized Reed meant the trophy case at State University, since Ben and Reed had vandalized a trophy for Victor von Doom in their college years, an act Reed cherished as his first adventure with Ben. Ben and Johnny infiltrated State University and found the Multisect inside Doom's trophy.; When The Thing and the Human Torch met imperiumologist Rachna Koul to diagnose Johnny's progressive loss of his powers, she agreed to help as long as they took her with them on their multiversal journey. While pretending she had honed the Multisect to Reed and Sue's specific signature of cosmic radiation, Rachna guided The Thing and the Human Torch through different universes on the search for alternate counterparts of her comatose sister Disha. After visiting several universes looking for a compatible version of Disha, Rachna saw herself forced to reveal her true motives and that she was misleading the heroes, and escaped with the Multisect.; Once Rachna returned home, she found that her lab was being raided by the Mad Thinker as part of his plan to supplant the Fantastic Four with a new team of his invention. He stole the Multisect from her, and used it to locate the Human Torch and The Thing since he planned to kill them to declutter the void left by the Fantastic Four from its remnants. The Human Torch and The Thing managed to defeat the Mad Thinker. They retrieved the Multisect and used it to return home.; Shortly afterwards, when Spider-Man and Sandman were confronted by an alternate future version of the latter brought to this time by a rift in the Multiverse, Spider-Man recalled the Multisect in Ben and Johnny's possession. They managed to configure the Multisect and the Human Torch used it on the future Sandman, sending him back to his home reality and closing the rift. However, the Multisect was destroyed in the process.; ==Properties==; The Multisect was a tool that can access an area known as the Multiplane, a nexus for seemingly infinite universes. ============================================================ Muramasa Armor Kind: item Page: Muramasa Armor Formal name: Muramasa Armor Type: Magical Armor First appearance: All-New Wolverine Vol 1 29 Created by: Tom Taylor; Juan Cabal Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Muramasa Place of creation: Madripoor Current owner: Wolverine History: Muramasa created this armor from soul fragments of Wolverine, Gabby Kinney, and Daken (Akihiro) to protect Laura from Muramasa Blade fragments.; } ============================================================ Muramasa Shield Kind: item Page: Muramasa Shield Formal name: Muramasa Shield Type: Shield First appearance: All-New Wolverine Vol 1 25 Created by: Tom Taylor; Juan Cabal; Leonard Kirk Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Muramasa Place of creation: Madripoor Current owner: Wolverine History: Muramasa created this shield from soul fragments of Wolverine to protect from the Muramasa Blade. ============================================================ Muramasa Bullets Kind: item Page: Muramasa Bullets Formal name: Muramasa Bullets Type: Bullet First appearance: All-New Wolverine Vol 1 28 Created by: Tom Taylor; Juan Cabal Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Bullets forged from the melted down Muramasa Blade fragments.

She then moved to a bigger target, and summoned the Naglfar Armada on Chandilar. In both instances, the undead gods were taken down by the Asgardians of the Galaxy while trailing Nebula. Before setting her sights on her true target, Earth, Nebula abducted Thor to use him as leverage in case her attack on Earth and use of their dead selves warranted retaliation from the Asgardians. Loki tried to warn Thor about Nebula's plan, but he arrived late and was abducted to Neubla's ship as well. The Asgardians of the Galaxy tracked Nebula down, and Loki incapacitated her using an illusion long enough for Valkyrie to take the Naglfar Beacon from her, and used it to send the undead army back to the void. Loki then set out to hide the Naglfar Beacon.; After taking a detour to find Angela's girlfriend Sera, the Asgardians of the Galaxy decided to take the Naglfar Beacon to Asgard in anticipation of the War of the Realm's culmination. Angela held onto the Beacon but didn't want to use it on Midgard. She eventually employed it to attack the realm of Heven in order to lure the Angels way from Midgard. After using the Naglfar Armada to massacre the Angels and ravage Heven, Angela destroyed the Naglfar Beacon. ============================================================ Mysterio Suit Kind: item Page: Mysterio Suit Formal name: Mysterio Suit Type: Suit; Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 13 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Quentin Beck Current owner: Mysterion; Quentin Beck; Qaari Beck Previous owners: Daniel Berkhart; Francis Klum; Roderick Kingsley Alternate owners: Gwen Stacy (Earth-6160); Francie Beck (Earth-12041); Kitagawa (Earth-70019); Hadley Harper (Earth-77013); Missterio (Reality Unknown) History: While developing ways to duplicate Spider-Man's powers, Quinten used these properties to develop a one-way domed helmet, a green suit, gauntlets that emit chemicals, and boots that have smoke ejectors and allow him to perform super leaps.; ==Variations==; ===Symbiote Suit===; After realizing Spider-Man's Black Suit wasn't ordinary cloth, he blackmailed Black Cat into stealing a portion of the suit.

For twenty five centuries, purple towered Python, crown city of the Acheronian Empire, held court in a reign of terror. Three thousand years after its fall the races of the Hyborian world would only dare to speak of ancient Acheron in hushed tones of whispered fear. The legends of necromancy, and legends of treasure long buried and all but forgotten. But of all that were told, none had the power to terrify and entice as that of... The Witch Queen of Acheron.; ===Early Hyborian Age===; Know, O prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars-Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyperborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with its chivalry, Koth that bordered on the pastoral lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west.; ===Age of Conan===; Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.; Know also, O prince, that in those selfsame days that Conan, the Cimmerian did stalk the Hyborian kingdoms, one of the few swords worthy to cross with his was that of Red Sonja, warrior-woman of majestic Hyrkania. Forced to flee her homeland because she spurned the advances of a king and slew him instead, she rode west across the Turanian Steppes and into the shadowed mist of legendry.; And in those days, the weak kingdom of Ophir did still remain independent, despite its rich gold and gemstone mines, its warriors wearing gilded armor, for this reason only: its more powerful neighbors Aquilonia and Nemedia, aye, and even avaricious Corinthia, all enviously watched both Ophir... and each other. Were one to attack the kingdom of gold, the other two would surely have formed an alliance to attack the invader. And so Ophir remained free, independent, and rich. Yet in the days before Conan was king, there was a change of rulers which did threaten to upset the delicate balance...; For Conan was all things in his day: a red-handed barbarian, a starveling thief a slayer of men, and finally the savage king of proud, civilized Aquilonia. Yet he sat not easy upon her throne, and in the fourth year of his turbulent reign, there arose an unhuman conspiracy to cast him down once more into the demon-filled darkness...; ====King Conan and Conan of the Isle ====; Know ye, O Prince, that in the autumn of his years, when ordinary men only look forward to the ravages of old age, King Conan embarked on the most turbulent era of his entire life--; Know ye, O Prince, King Conan shattered the Pride of Argos with his sword, slew Xantaus with his bare hands, sacked the crown city of Messantia and put it to the torch, yet he still sought revenge on the sorcerer Crassus, and was troubled over the fate of his son, Prince Conn. And these things cast a shadow over the spoils of victory.; Know, ye Prince, that the Hyborian World never knew such revelry in victory than that orgy that followed the Sack of Messantia. The taste of the wine that flowed there lingered on the conquerors' tongues until the next battle... And the next battle was short in coming. King Conan's forces clashed iwth Ophirians on the Meadowlands of Ophir. They met in a collision of shattered lances and whirling blades. And before the sun set, victory was certain for Conan.; Know, O Prince, that after the death of his arch-foe Thoth-Amon of the Black Ring, King Conan did rule Aquilonia wisely and well till he had well passed his sixth decade. Yet, there came a time when he did set aside forever his crown, and venture forth once more upon the Western Oceans...; Legends abound of a an island continent in the far southern reaches of the little-known Vendhyan Sea, but no ship of the western lands has ever landed there and come home safely again.; ===End of the Hyborian Age===; The Nemedian Chronicles also mentioned the rise of the sons of Aryas, which marks the end of the Hyborian Age.; ===Possible content===; The following passages can be presumed to be part of the Nemedian chronicles, thought they aren't signed nor referenced as such:; Know ye that the King of Argos sought to en the Stygian slave trade and lay siege to the city of Khemi on the Stygian coast. There Stygian sorcery kept the walls impregnable and the Heavens poured forth their displeasure on the Army of Argos. The men were set for one last attempt on the walled citadel, but first some of them would have to lose their fear of Stygian sorcery and learn the Fear of Crom!; Know ye, O Prince, that in the mountains between Iranistan and Vendhya lay a kingdom through whose borders no traveler passed without paying the Toll.; Know ye, O Prince, that the Kozaki, which means 'wastrel", were a loose confederation of mercenaries, criminals, and fugitives turned to brigandry in defiance to the Empire of Turan. The hetman, of chieftains plotted against each other for supreme leadership even as King Yezdigerd planned to destroy them. It was Yezdigerd who called them Reavers of the Steppes.; Know, O Prince, that Conan the Cimmerian was many things in his day... First, a thief in Zamora...Then a mercenary soldier, selling his sword, but not his soul, for gold... In time he rose to become a pirate... First with the bloody Brotherhood of the Barachan Isles, off the coast of chivalrous Zingara...; The Nemedian Chronicles did not mention Conan's death and offered little information on the days after his voyage to Mayapan. ============================================================ Neo-Neutralizer Kind: item Page: Neo-Neutralizer Formal name: Neo-Neutralizer Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Rom Vol 1 63 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Forge Place of creation: Earth Orbit Previous owners: Forge; Rom History: Rom and Forge beat back the Wraith attack outside of Forge’s Dallas headquarters.

Thog intended to exploit the empathic nature of the Man-Thing by weaponizing the emotional energies gathered within the Boxes. To fill the Boxes, Thog manipulated several individuals in Atlanta, Georgia. Danielle “Dani” Nicolle, a young woman who uncontrollably absorbed emotions from those around her, became a living conduit capable of rapidly charging empty Nightmare Boxes. Her brother Robert Nicolle was transformed by Thog into the Scavenger, stealing emotions from others and channeling them into Dani. The emotionless accountant Roland Duhl served as a neutral psychic conductor, calculating the exact number of Nightmare Boxes required to create a pyramid whose combined emotional force would plunge Earth into insanity. Thog and his followers spread the Boxes across multiple worlds, using demons and human agents to absorb emotions on an enormous scale. One Nightmare Box was accidentally lost following a car crash involving Richard Rory and the Man-Thing, leading to a prolonged struggle between Thog’s demons and agents of Dakimh the Enchanter to recover it. Eventually the Box was returned to Thog, who used it to imprison both the Man-Thing and Steve Gerber within its dimensional interior. Inside the Nightmare Box, the Man-Thing briefly regained the mind of Ted Sallis. As Thog prepared to complete the gigantic pyramid of Boxes in Sominus, Dakimh instructed Gerber and Sallis to suppress all emotion and think only rationally. Because the final Nightmare Box lacked the emotional energy required for the structure’s balance, the entire pyramid destabilized and imploded, collapsing not only Sominus but seemingly all reality into itself. During the ensuing chaos, Thog panicked and experienced fear, causing him to burn at the Man-Thing’s touch. With Thog destroyed, the Nightmare Boxes ceased functioning and reality returned to normal. ============================================================ Neural Switchboard Wristband Kind: item Page: Neural Switchboard Wristband Formal name: Neural Switchboard Wristband Type: Technology First appearance: X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 248 Created by: Mike Carey; Jorge Molina Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Nemesis, Madison Jeffries, and Reed Richards Place of creation: Utopia Current owner: Legion Notes: A related device was shown earlier, a helmet designed to repress the personas, but used later in order to link David directly to the Persona Brig, a part of his mind accessing to the restrained personas, and allowing them to individually and temporarily take control of David's body in exchange of the obedience to the Nemesis Protocol, and with David for calling them back from the brig. History: The Neutral Switchboard Wristband was engineered by a collaboration of Doctor Nemesis, Madison Jeffries, and Reed Richards. By keying in a number, this device stimulates cells in Legion's thalamus and neocortex, creating a one-way link between his mind and one of his sub-selves. This allows Legion to utilize power sets without being overwhelmed by the personality. ============================================================ Nemean Lion Skin Kind: item Page: Nemean Lion Skin Formal name: Nemean Lion Skin Other aliases: Lion Skin; Hide of the Nemean Lion Type: Cloak First appearance: Thing Vol 2 7 Created by: Dan Slott; Kieron Dwyer Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Olympian; Magical Lead designer: Hercules Additional designers: Nemean Lion Place of creation: Nemea, Greece Current owner: Hercules Previous owners: Nemean Lion Material: Nemean Lion Model: Unique Properties: Impenetrability: The pelt retains the impenetrability of the Nemean Lion's hide. Trivia: The costume created for Hercules by Gowanus Drawbridge Studio has a lion's head shaped shoulder guard as an homage to Nemean Lion pelt. History: After slaying the Nemean Lion by strangulation, Hercules used its hide as armor.; During a fight with a time-travelling The Thing, the hide of the Nemean Lion was stained with red wine.; Approximately three millennia ago, Hercules stopped regularly wearing the lion's skin because it because it gave his opponents something to grab onto.; Hercules donned the Nemean lion pelt when he went on a date with Warrior Woman. ============================================================ Negative Zone Portal Kind: item Page: Negative Zone Portal Formal name: Negative Zone Portal Other aliases: Space-Time Chamber; Barrier Door Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 51 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Negative Zone Lead designer: Mr. Fantastic Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Fantastic Four Previous owners: Frightful Four History: This huge, radical cube was designed by Mr. Fantastic to create a dimensional entrance into sub-space. Reed Richards first entered the Negative Zone attached to a reel of super-tensile-strength cable held by the Thing Impostor, who then sacrificed himself to save the superhero scientist and bring him back to the positive matter universe.; When Sandman attacked the Fantastic Four, Reed Richards opened the portal again, forcing the villain to flee, even though the superhero was sucked into it and soon found himself floating free through the Negative Zone, much to everyone's horror. He was eventually rescued by Triton, who crossed six safety chambers and jumped into the Negative Zone portal, saving him just moments before Reed was destroyed at the barrier. Unknown to them, Blastaar freed himself and traveled into the positive matter universe with them. After a week of work, Reed and Ben Grimm removed a power core, in order to prevent any other alien entrance.; Some time later, as Rick Jones, assisted by Captain Marvel, jumped out the Negative Zone, he also inadvertently released Annihilus as well, who was forced back into the Negative Zone Portal by the Avengers.; When the Frightful Four took control of the Baxter Building, the Wizard accidentally opened the Negative Zone portal in such a way that it empowered Annihilus with more energy. Annihilus then attempted to break free into the positive matter universe to take it over, with only the Wizard trying to keep the creature at bay. As the Human Torch broke free and snapped Spider-Man out of his trance, the two then defeated the Frightful Four and stopped the Negative Zone machine, shunting Annihilus back to the Negative Zone.; Many years later in Flash Thompson's perfect world, an unstable Negative Zone Portal was created by Dr. Doom to reach Annihilus.; Orchis confiscated some projectors that had fallen into the hands of Damage Control. Dr. Killian Devo deployed this tech in an attempt to get rid of the X-Men. ============================================================ Neutralizer Ray Kind: item Page: Neutralizer Ray Formal name: Neutralizer Ray Other aliases: N-Ray Type: Firearm First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 114 Created by: Stan Lee; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: United States Air Force History: The neutralizer ray was created by Tony Stark for the armed forces. It was employed by Major Talbot and his soldiers against the Hulk, to knock him down and capture him after the battle with the Sandman and the Mandarin.; Thaddeus Ross then tried to figure out a permanent method to keep the Hulk helpless, since he might develop an immunity to the neutralizer ray in case of repeated dosages. However, as the Hulk revived and went on a rampage on Los Diablos Missile Base, they knocked him out again with the neutralizer. ============================================================ Negator Pack Kind: item Page: Negator Pack Formal name: Negator Pack Type: Technology First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 225 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton; Mark Bright Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Built by Anthony Stark Lead designer: Anthony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Current owner: Anthony Stark History: Criminal entrepreneur Justin Hammer provided several of his armor-using villain customers with technology that had been stolen from Anthony Stark's top secret designs. When Iron Man discovered so, he started a personal quest to disable these designs. Stark designed the Negator Pack, that destroyed these designs when in contact with any of these armors, and built several units. Having identified the opponents he was to track, Stark donned his own Iron Man armor and went after them.; Iron Man first used the Negator Pack in the Stilt-Man's armor and then in the Controller's armor. Iron Man then fought the three Raiders and disabled their armors, one by one, using three Negators Pack. (Brendan Doyle willingly gave Mauler Armor|his Mauler armor to Iron Man).; Mistakenly believing that superhero Stingray was using this stolen technology, Iron Man fought Stingray and used a Negator Pack, only to discover that the Pack was not working because Stingray's armor was not a Stark design - an action that caused a public relation problem for Iron Man. Continuing with his plan, Iron Man then used Negator Packs to crash the Beetle's armor, and then he opposed Nick Fury's SHIELD to use Negator Packs in the Mandroid Armors, which were being used by elite SHIELD agents - meaning that they were not criminals, but agents of the law. Iron Man then used Negator Packs on the armors used by the Guardsmen, heroic watchmen of the prison Vault (Maximum Security Installation for the Incarceration of Superhuman Criminals). This action confronted Iron Man with his old friend the Captain (previously Captain America). It also confronted Iron Man to the US government, who branded Iron Man a fugitive. As Iron Man was leaving the Packs attached to armors of his victims, the government took hold of them and, by analyzing the one in Stingray, they developed a way to shield an armor from the Pack's effect. The government built the Firepower Armor with this Negator Pack immunity, specifically to capture Iron Man.; Iron Man then travelled to USSR to confront the Titanium Man and the Crimson Dynamo. Iron Man used his Stealth armor and two Negator Packs for this. Although he managed to disable the Dynamo's armor, the Titanium Man smashed Iron Man's last Negator Pack before it could be used. Iron Man then fought the Titanium Man and apparently killed him.; The government then sent the Firepower armor, to be used by military man Jack Taggert, against Iron Man. During their duel, Iron Man tried to use a Negator Pack in the Firepower armor, but it was useless, and Taggert explained why.; After this, Stark decided to include a self-destruct chip with codes that only he would know, in all his further top-secret armor designs.; A negator pack was later used to defeat Kristina Ramos in a stolen Guardsman Armor; Tony would use It against Savage Steel and succeeded, he also attempted to use It against Darkhawk, but It didn't work as his armor was alien technology not Stark's.; Tony would later use It against War Machine, but It didn't work as his suit wasn't made with Stark technology.; Black Panther would later use It to help in his fight against Iron Man.; ==Powers==; When connected to any armor using Anthony Stark's technology, the Negator Pack fused and melted the circuits related to Stark's designs, rendering them useless. The armor-wearing person's security during the process was not guaranteed.; ==Weakness==; Each Negator Pack can be used only once: After one use, the item is useless. It won't work if the armor does not include Stark's circuits, or if the armor is specifically protected against it (although the armor's designer needs access to a Negator Pack to protect an armor like this).; The Negator Pack can be smashed by the hand someone as strong as the Titanium Man (in armor). ============================================================ Neutro-Mist Kind: item Page: Neutro-Mist Formal name: Neutro-Mist Type: Drug First appearance: Marvel Premiere Vol 1 44 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Keith Giffen Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D. History: The Neutro-Mist was employed by S.H.I.E.L.D. to control the Jack of Hearts' powers, but it was effective only in massive doses and if administered before the power had started its build up in his body again. ============================================================ Night-Night Gun (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Night-Night Gun Other aliases: Night-Night Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 1 Created by: Joss Whedon; Jed Whedon; Maurissa Tancharoen Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz Place of creation: S.H.I.E.L.D. Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D. History: The Night-Night Gun is a prototype tranquilizer rifle manufactured by S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz. Basically a miracle born of engineering and bio-chemistry, this custom tranquilizer rifle—or as Agent Fitz likes to call it, “The Night-Night gun"—is the perfect tool for stopping someone without killing them. The rifle fires non-lethal bullets with heavy stopping power that break up under the subcutaneous tissue (or skin). From there, the bullets deliver a tiny amount of dendrotoxin, incapacitating the target long enough for them to be secured and with no harmful side effects. With the go-ahead from Fitz, agent Grant Ward used this rifle to tranquilize the unstable Mike Peterson.; The technology of the "Night-Night Gun" was later condensed to create the Night-Night Pistol, as well as an array of ICERs. ============================================================ Night-Night Pistol (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Night-Night Pistol Other aliases: Night-Night Pistol Type: Firearm First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 4 Created by: Jeffrey Bell Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Jemma Simmons; Leo Fitz Place of creation: S.H.I.E.L.D. Globemaster Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D. History: The Night-Night Pistol is a non-lethal weapon developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz. The handgun holds eight Dendrotoxin tranquilizer rounds.; The Pistol was first used in a field operation by Phil Coulson to neutralize Akela Amador. Coulson later used the Pistol again in a failed attempt to subdue Chan Ho Yin.; Ward later insisted that Fitz redesign the Pistol to make it a single ounce lighter. When the team visited the Hub, Jemma used the Pistol to incapacitate Agent Jasper Sitwell in order to allow Skye to break into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mainframe. They have later been upgraded into I.C.E.R.s since Lady Sif's arrival. ============================================================ Negative Barrier Kind: item Page: Negative Barrier Formal name: Negative Barrier Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 48 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Inhuman Lead designer: Maximus Place of creation: Attilan History: When the Fantastic Four met the Inhumans, Black Bolt argued with Mister Fantastic, encouraging him to leave peaceably, Maximus sealed the refuge in a "Negative Barrier" after discovering that Inhumans and humans were of the same race.; With his brother insane, and the key to the barrier trapped within Maximus' diseased mind, the Inhumans sought frantically for a way to escape the Negative Barrier. Black Bolt's first attempt was to use his own energy to empower a bomb that would burst it open, but it almost destroyed the entire city before he used his powerful voice to stop it.; Finally, he was forced to expose his secret and again use his destructive voice to demolish the barrier surrounding Attilan, freeing his people.; Attilan remained free of any sort of barriers for years and the hidden city was eventually relocated to the Blue Area of the Moon. However when the city's artificial atmosphere was compromised, the Fantastic Four saved it by shrinking Attilan down in size and recovering it. This occurred during a time that the sorceress known as Morgan Le Fay had risen the undersea kingdom of Atlantis from above the ocean floor and formed an alliance with the Inhuman's Genetic Council. They had recovered the shrunken city of Attilan, Although the Fantastic Four, Inhuman royal family, and their allies defeated Le Fay and the rogue Genetics Concil, a new Negative Zone barrier was erected around Attilan, trapping the Terrigen Mist which was unleashed inside, leaving all those still trapped within constantly exposed to the mists. However eventually, Black Bolt regained the Inhuman throne, contained the mists and took down the barrier, although the circumstances behind this are not recorded at this time. ============================================================ Neron-Claw (Earth-9602) Kind: item Page: Neron-Claw Formal name: Neron-Claw Type: Glove; Technology First appearance: Spider-Boy Team-Up Vol 1 1 Created by: Roger Stern; Karl Kesel; Jose Ladronn Reality: Earth-9602 Place of creation: Suicide Street, New York City, New York Previous owners: Scavulture History: The Neron-Claw is the hand of Scavulture's cybernetic arm. It fires radioactively poisoning energy. After poisoning Mig-El Gand, the claw was destroyed by Martinex 5. ============================================================ Neutronium (Exo-Space) Kind: item Page: Neutronium Formal name: Neutronium Other aliases: Isometry-8; Isotope-8; ISO-8; ISO-9; "The Birth Caul of the Universe"; "Magic matter"; Mysterious Ore; "Wonder Material from Space" Type: Material First appearance: Marvel: Avengers Alliance Created by: Alexander Irvine Reality: Exo-Space Properties: Blue Marvel described the crystals of Neutronium as frozen spacetime and theorized that it was formed as a byproduct of creation itself. Their atoms fall naturally into structures of eight. When these used to be seven-atom groups, the isometric lattices tore themselves apart at the quantum level. The change of structure of the Neutronium into ISO-8 and Blue Marvel's theory presented the possibility that there had been in total seven instances of "multiversal renewal," and that the Neutronium's structure changed each time the universe was in a new iteration. Despite these explanations, on Earth-517's Battleworld, Neutronium exists with one extra nucleon in its ISO-9 form, which behaves exactly like ISO-8 when it should be unstable, held together by a mysterious force.; It has been stated that Neutronium is an incredibly powerful substance. Mutable at a subatomic level, the Iso-8 attaches itself to the essential characteristic of a material it touches and intensifies it. According to Otto Octavius, the Isotope-8 can be considered "the perfect catalyst," although Reed Richards has stated it is not because, unlike catalysts, the Isotope-8 also changes itself.; The true extent of its capabilities is unknown, but it has shown to have different uses, like empowerment, healing, stasis, or even resurrection of individuals. If the Isotope-8 is put in a crystal array to focus a laser, it makes the laser have more focus. If it's put in an electrical field, it magnifies the charge and the momentum of electrons, and becomes magnetic. If it is implemented as part of a plasma, the plasma gets denser, hotter and more powerful. Mr. Fantastic has studied the reactions of Isotope-8 with heat, electricity and magnetism, and stated that in those areas, the Iso-8 is an "energy intensifier the likes of which I've never seen." Hydra has managed to condense data down to binary code and transmit it to limbs and muscles via Iso-8, allowing themselves to create almost perfect replicas of the Avengers from footage of different heroes in action.; Neutronium's most powerful form is known as the ISO-Sphere, which, according to the Collector, could grant him power enough to rival gods. Notes: Iso-8 was developed as an in-game resource for Marvel: Avengers Alliance (March 2012) over two years before it was introduced in the comics in Mighty Avengers Vol 2 9 (April 2014) as neutronium. The comics element would not receive the name Iso-8 until Ultimates Vol 2 1 (November 2015).; According to Marvel vice president of business development Sean Haran the inclusion of Iso-8 in multiple mobile games was an "attempt to connect — even if it’s a loose thread — the games that we’re creating day-to-day."; Writer Al Ewing worked with Marvel Games Creative Director Bill Rosemann on how to introduce Iso-8 to the world of the comics. History: After discovering it, Blue Marvel tried to harvest Neutronium for years for its potential to solve hundreds of global problems, but its atomic structure refused to cohere in normal space. The next death and rebirth of the Multiverse affected the structure of Neutronium, changing its isometric form from seven to eight-atom groups, an "Isometry-8" form (ISO-8 for short), making it more stable and powerful in normal space.; Two Elders of the Universe, the Collector and his brother the Grandmaster, pitted themselves against each other for the possession of Earth-15513's ISO-8, and an object known as the ISO-Sphere, in a competition known as the Contest of Champions, in which they summoned people from across the Multiverse to Battlerealm to fight in the name of each of the brothers against each other.; ===Alternate Realities===; ====Earth-12131====; The material which would be later known as Isotope-8 was brought to Earth by a mysterious Pulse, a phenomenon which also affected technology worldwide and left strange energy signatures.; The international security organization S.H.I.E.L.D. noticed this Pulse, but they were not the only people to do so. Rival organisations Hydra and A.I.M. also tried to obtain the strange material left behind, and battled with S.H.I.E.L.D. for control of it. With the help of an alliance of superheroes led by an Agent, the two terrorist groups were drawn back.; After fending off the rival organizations and researching the "mysterious ore," S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived to the conclusion that the Pulse was a charged cloud of an "Isotope-8," a material was capable of multiplying people's powers. The Alliance's new task would become that of securing the Iso-8 from supervillains, some of whom would even create their own alliance, a syndicate led by Doctor Doom.; Both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Syndicate used the Isotope-8 to create different types of armaments and to empower their forces.; Different types of unstable Isotope-8 later appeared, including a green Iso-8; a blue Iso-8 mutated by the Brotherhood of Mutants; a cosmic yellow Iso-8 created when the Phoenix Force interfered in the Pulse's path towards Earth; a red demonic Iso-8 spawned from Hell; an Asgardian purple Iso-8 modified by its contact with the magic of Asgard; a derivated purple Iso-8 developed by Hank Pym; a "chaotic" Iso-8 created by Ultron; a red Iso-8 created from the demonic Iso-8 synthesized by the power of Tony Stark's arc reactor, and a violet Iso-8 variant created by Wonder Man.; After consulting his mentor, Doctor Strange discovered the Iso-8 might be native of Earth, and that emanations similar to Iso-8 were detected by the Ancient One in the 18th century. ============================================================ Neutro-Chamber Kind: item Page: Neutro-Chamber Formal name: Neutro-Chamber Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 143 Created by: Gerry Conway; Rich Buckler Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Current owner: Victor von Doom Notes: The book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 mistakenly illustrated this item with an image of a different device, unambiguously captioned as "Neutro-chamber". The textual description of the Neutro-chamber and the "Availability text" are adapted to the image seen in Fantastic Four Vol 1 143 and identified by characters as "Neutro-chamber". The image and the description of powers seem to be those of a different item seen in Fantastic Four Vol 1 144. History: Doctor Doom developed these rectangular devices to hold superpowered prisioners. They were rectangular-shaped cells made of glass and steel where a human-sized prisoner could stand, but an invisible gas within it lowered the effect of the captive's superpowers along with his physical prowess (in a lesser degree). Magical powers were not affected. The device was operated using a control panel outside it.; Doctor Doom had four of these devices in a hidden lear at New York City. He first used these to hold the Thing, after capturing him, and Darkoth, a barely controllable cyborg minion, providing a human detail as additional security. Doom later released Darkoth, believing his punishment was over, and imprisoned Mr. Fantastic and Medusa. However, Darkoth betrayed Doom, ordered the guards to leave and released the detainees operating the control panel.; Doom also captured the Human Torch and his friend Wyatt Wingfoot, holding them in a similar device - only with the cells shaped as cylinders. Darkoth, impersonating Doom's robot Seeker, released them by breaking the glass. ============================================================ New U Pills Kind: item Page: New U Pills Formal name: New U Pills Type: Drug First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 4 17 Created by: Dan Slott; R.B. Silva Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: New U Technologies Current owner: New U Technologies History: These pills are provided by New U Technologies to their subjects to prevent their cloned bodies from breaking down as a consequence of a flaw in their cloning process, and need to be ingested daily.; The Jackal claimed the cellular degradation was an intended "insurance policy" to ensure loyalty from those submitted to New U's procedure. ============================================================ Nega-Bombs Kind: item Page: Nega-Bombs Formal name: Nega-Bombs Type: Bomb First appearance: Wonder Man Vol 2 8 Created by: Gerard Jones; Jeff Johnson; Stephen Jones Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Shi'ar; Kree Lead designer: Shi'ar scientists and/or Supreme Intelligence Current owner: Kree Armada History: The Nega Bomb is, according to Shi'ar Admiral Ka'ardum, "the most abominable devices" his people have ever created. It was first forged by them during their war with the Kree (although some influence by the Skrulls and the Kree Supreme Intelligence was all involved). The Nega Bomb was created by cracking open a pair of Nega-Bands and releasing the anti-matter portal inside, harnessing that potent force into a "death light" capable of reaching an entire star system.; The Nega Bomb was detonated at the conclusion of the Kree/Shi'ar War. It decimated the population of the Kree Empire, killing billions, but also seeded the survivors with a mutagenic potential, just as the Supreme Intelligence had planned.; The Supreme Intelligence later recreated the Nega Bomb en masse, and planned to use them to level the Earth to deal with the Inhumans. However upon the arrival of an Annihilation wave, an enlarged Inhuman city, and Galactus their targets shifted. They ultimately deployed multiple Nega Bombs against Galactus to no effect.; Shi'ar invasion forces received permission from Emperor Vulcan to use Nega Bombs against the Kree during the War of Kings. ============================================================ Nina's Guns Kind: item Page: Nina's Guns Type: Firearm; Sword First appearance: Doctor Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme Vol 1 1 Created by: Robbie Thompson; Javier Rodriguez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Nina the Conjuror Notes: Some (or all) of the guns could fire magical bullets. History: Nina the Conjuror owned four enchanted firearms. Two of them were pistol swords (swords with pistols attached alongside the blades) and the other two were ordinary pistols. When not in use, the pistol swords were kept in two sheaths on her back and the regular pistols in her two shoulder holsters. Nina often battled with a pistol in one hand and a pistol sword in the other. ============================================================ Neuro-Gas Kind: item Page: Neuro-Gas Formal name: Neuro-Gas Type: Drug First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 14 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Bob Hall Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom, ruler of the small European country of Latveria who aspired to take over the world, developed the neuro-gas. Whoever breathed this gas became an unwitting, unknowing slave to Doom: Whenever Doom gave a command, that person or people were forced to obey, no matter how humiliating, dangerous or against their principles. The only restriction was that a slave would never attack Doom himself, even if commanded to. Doom could give give the commands in person or via any communication system. Most of the time, enslaved people reacted as their own selves, unware that they were being controlled; and their specific way to obey, if not guided, was incorporated into that slave's real personality.; The gas affected anyone who breathed it, including humans, superpowered humans, mutants, synthezoids, beings of ionic energy, Asgardians and Olympians. Non-breathing beings and people equipped with special air-filters were protected. Doom developed a drinkable antidote that caused unconsciousness for a short time while operating. The gas's control compound could also be removed using magnetic control to regulate the iron in the brain's blood.; By using orbital Neuro-Cannisters, Doom released the neuro-gas in the atmosphere, taking over the world with anyone being smarter at this. Doom then arranged a celebration parade at Doomstadt, ostensibly to commemorate his recent victory over Red Skull and to try and combat his growing tedium at the lack of challenge. Mutant supervillain Magneto, one of his slaves, raided his Castle and demanded to meet Doom. Magneto wanted to partner with Doom, believing that their combined might could subjugate the whole planet. Amused, Doom revealed Magneto the details of his neuro-gas and dared the mutant to oppose his control. Doom even gave Magneto his antidote.; Magneto tried to recruit the superhero team Avengers as allies, explaining them about Doom's control. Doom however was secretly monitoring the scene and, using a Hologram Projector, took explicit control of the Avengers, sending them against Magneto. In a act of altruism, Doom allowed Magneto to choose one single ally among the Avengers if Magneto could release that person from Doom's control. Magneto chose his former opponent the Beast, released him with his magnetic powers, then took him in a jet. Magneto wanted the Beast to take him to the X-Men but, as they were unavailable, the Beast took him to the Champions of Los Angeles, a team featuring two former X-Men. However, the Avengers had foreseen this movement and warned the Champions that the Beast had gone rogue, leading to a confrontation. The Champions were unwilling to believe Magneto's story of Doom controlling them all.; Meanwhile, Doom officially visited the United States, meeting with the President in Los Angeles. Offended at the American self-interest policies, Doom went to the White House and summoned the Hulk as his personal bodyguard. He was followed by Magneto and the Beast, in turn chased by the Champions. This led to a pitch battle in the White House lawn, also including the President's personal guards and the United States Army.; When Doom reasserted explicit control over the Champions and gave them commands that were blindly obeyed, one of the Champions was unaffected: The Ghost Rider, who did not breathe and was thus immune. The Rider understood that the Beast and Magneto were being truthful and joined their side. The Rider send his hellfire to Doom's mask. To save his life, Doom was then forced to remove his mask -which included air-filters to protect him from the neuro-gas. Doom was suddenly affected by the gas that made him a slave to himself. This led to an unforeseen paradox, as Doom could not give commands. Doom's mind was closed in a loop, releasing all the others from his control. Most of the former slaves forgot their actions under Doom's control. ============================================================ Nightmare Stone (Earth-517) Kind: item Page: Nightmare Stone Formal name: Nightmare Stone Type: Infinity Stone First appearance: Marvel Contest of Champions Created by: Kabam Reality: Earth-517 Lead designer: M.O.D.O.K.

History: The Neuron-Magnet was created to attract and hold living beings, specifically the Hulk. After being captured with it, the Hulk nevertheless managed to pry himself free with his superhuman strength; dilm footage of this event -- as well as other encounters with the Hulk -- was later examined by General Ross alongside Dr. Banner prior to assigning Banner to find a means to successfully entrap The Hulk. ============================================================ Negative Zone Pressure Flux Moderator (Earth-7642) Kind: item Page: Negative Zone Pressure Flux Moderator Formal name: Negative Zone Pressure Flux Moderator Type: Technology First appearance: Gen¹³/Fantastic Four Vol 1 1 Created by: Kevin Maguire Reality: Earth-7642 Origin: Negative Zone Lead designer: Reed Richards Place of creation: Baxter Building, 42nd Street, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Fantastic Four Model: Unique Version: Unique History: H.E.R.B.I.E. and The Thing were working on the Negative Zone Pressure Flux Moderator. ============================================================ Nitramene (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Nitramene Formal name: Nitramene Type: Material First appearance: Marvel's Agent Carter Season 1 1 Created by: Louis D'Esposito; Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Howard Stark invention during World War II Lead designer: Howard Stark Previous owners: Howard Stark History: Nitramene was a type of explosive created by Howard Stark during World War II.

It was normally kept hidden in his glove in an extremely miniaturized form but, when activated by a single touch, would enlarge to its full size so that it could be inspected or used.; The Neuro-Ray that the slaver had aboard his Slave Ship seemed to function like the Nerve Gun and was probably just another name for the same type of weapon.

Following their defeat, Zeus stripped Nyx of her power. He turned into a rock, and broke her soul into three shards: The Night That Was, The Night That Is, and The Night That May Yet Be. After casting Nyx and her children into a prison of darkness, Zeus scattered them across the universe. He placed The Night That Was with the Lord Librarian at Omnipotence City, The Night That Is in the sentient planet Euphoria, and The Night That May Yet Be with Nightmare in his realm.; When Nyx and her children escaped from their prison in the Modern Age, they attacked Olympus and Oizys probed Zeus' mind for the location of the Night Shards, only managing to get concrete leads on two out of the three. She sent Hypnos after The Night That May Yet Be, while Apate and Dolos inflitrated Omnipotence City to find The Night That Was. A group of Avengers who had become aware of Nyx's return split up to intercept Nyx's children. Hercules; Spectrum; Vision and Scarlet Witch arrived on Omnipotence City, while the Hulk; Hawkeye and Rocket Raccoon arrived on Nightmare's Realm.; Scarlet Witch had previously been enchanted by Nyx, blinding her to everything except the Queen of Night herself, her children and the shards. When Scalret Witch discovered that the fragment was guarded by Lord Librarian, Apate and Dolos appeared to try to take it. In the meantime, the Hulk's group forget an alliance with Nightmare to fend off Hypnos and his army of sleepers. Despite the Avengers' efforts to fight Apate and Dolos, the heroes were subdued when Nyx herself appeared and killed Lord Librarian to take the fragment in his possession. However, the Avengers managed to cause a diversion thar resulted in Voyager teleporting the shard and Scarlet Witch to the Hyborian Age. In Nightmare's Realm, the Hulk managed to defeat Hypnos and take The Night That May Yet Be from him. He then broke the fragment to absorb its power.; In the Hyborian Age, Scarlet Witch joined forces with the local barbarian Conan to find The Night That Was, which had made its way to the city of Shadizar. The Crow Cult used it in a ritual to summon Ma'kannta, but the summoning was interrupted when Nyx arrived after Scarlet Witch accidentally entered in contact with the fargment, linking Nyx to it. Nyx broke shattered the shard and absobred its power, which bind her to the final fragment. She returned to the present to Euphoria, where the Hulk and his group were already searching for The Night That Is. After forcing the Hulk to transform back into Bruce Banner, Nyx took the power of the Night Shard he had absorbed. The Avengers left in the Hyborian Age followed Nyx, but their confrontation against the Queen of Night was interrupted by the corporeal manifestation of Euphoria. Since the warring between the Avengers and Nyx threatened to disrupt her paradise, Euphoria attempted to deescalate the conflict, and she eventually allowed Nyx to strip the The Night That May Yet Be off her body.; Having absorbed the power of all three shards, Nyx was returned to godhood.

Notes: Forge's iteration of the Neutralizer could not effect Dire Wraiths in the same manner that an Axadar of the Spaceknights could at first.; Forge would go onto fashion a specialized Neo-Neutralizer in order to galvanize Rom's living device in order to capitulate banishing the entirety of Wraith World to Limbo.; All conceived plans for the Neutralizer created by Forge's hand for the government were all but destroyed after the Wraith invasion.; But design plans remained with a researcher possessing an Eidetic Memory History: In an early counter-Dire Wraith initiative run by the U.S. Government's D.O.D. Forge was contracted to study the fabled Galadorian hunter/killer technology used by the eponymous Spaceknight Rom.; To a degree, the renowned inventor Forge was able to create a simulacrum of which based on his own design and what he could learn from studying Rom's Neutralizer. Having been able to fabricate his own power negating prototype which, in theory, could normalize any kind of superhuman it is directed at, be their abilities mutate, Inhuman or even mutant-based in nature. Yet the device was untested and its creator was not comfortable on applying it to a live subject as of yet.; This would not stop Val Cooper from turning over the only working prototype to a government director by the name of Henry Peter Gyrich who wished to use it against the mutant terrorist affiliate known as Rogue. Forge was both unsettled and enraged by such a breach of his trust, opting to head out and stop the unsanctioned use of a potentially fatalistic design of his and headed out to prevent a tragedy.; Gyrich would test the weapons efficiency on the newly empowered Anna Marie whilst she and Ororo were on vacation in the Mississippi Banks of Caldecott County. The Neutralizer barely had an effect on her due to the hybridization of her mutant physiology due in part to her absorbing Ms. Marvel's powers some time back. Plus the fact that Gyrich had been using it at minimal power.; Finally having had enough of the melodrama however, the governmental advocate would crank up the handguns power supply to maximum with the intent of depowering Rogue for good. Instead her partner Storm took the hit and lost her abilities as a consequence.; ===Krakoa===; By the time of the mutant nation of Krakoa, Forge had come to consider the Neutralizer to be the worst weapon he ever built. Nevertheless, he kept a Neutralizer in his lab.; When Emma Frost learned that one of the secret founders of Krakoa was Moira MacTaggert, who was secretly a mutant with the ability to reset the timeline upon her death, she decided to take action, angry that Professor X and Magneto, Krakoa's other founders, had hidden this fact.; She revealed this fact to Mystique and Destiny, and gave them a Neutralizer. The two promptly kidnapped Moira and used the gun on her, planning to de-power and kill her in order to "lock-in" this timeline and prevent it from being reset. While de-powered, Moira escaped, and would eventually manage to turn the gun on its creator after breaking into Forge's lab. Forge's powers were restored by the Five.; After the fall of Krakoa, the gun remained in Forge's now abandoned lab. Sabretooth lured Wolverine to the lab and used the gun to de-power him, planning to finally kill his rival, but was stopped by the Exiles. ============================================================ Neutralizer Armor Kind: item Page: Neutralizer Armor Formal name: Neutralizer Armor Type: Armor; Energy Weapon First appearance: Marauders Vol 1 1 Created by: Gerry Duggan; Matteo Lolli Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Russian Government Additional designers: Homines Verendi Place of creation: Japan History: High powered exo-mentals modeled after Forge's own take on Rom's Neutralizer; the anti-mutant Russian national would incarcerate and coerce Dan Molina into disclosing information on the design specs in order to create them and trade said engineering with the criminal organization Homines Verendi.; From there the high-octane armors would be immediately employed to any across the globe looking to deal with their mutant population after the presentation of their new homeland of Krakoa.; They are particularly put to use by the Russian parliament to detain and incarcerate citizens with the moniker of homo superior. As was made evident by a bigoted military splinter sect found unlawfully incarcerating citizens with an apparent X-gene.; ==Capabilities==; Being based on the meta-ability dampener weaponry developed by Forge.

History: When the universe was still in its infancy, the immortal creatures known as the Celestials were curious to visit other realities; consequently, the Celestials created a series of gems to enable themselves to traverse infinite dimensions, among other things. An additional stone, called the Matrix Stone, was subsequently created to control the power of the others.; Under unknown circumstances, all of these gems, with the exception of the Matrix Stone, ended up in the possession of Karnilla, the Norn Queen. Eventually becoming known in all of the Nine Realms as the Norn Stones, they were believed to have been created in Nornheim through Asgardian magic.; With Asgard vacant after the Dark Gods of Narcisson's capture of the Asgardian gods, Morgan Le Fay took the opportunity to claim several objects of power from there, including the Norn Stones and the Twilight Sword. She used the stones and the sword in conjuction with the captured Scarlet Witch's powers to rewrite reality, thus creating an alternate universe in her own image. Le Fay was ultimately defeated by the Avengers and reality was brought back to normal. Thor later retrieved the Norn Stones.; Following the Hood's depowerment, Loki presented him with the Norn Stones in order to grant him back the use of his powers. Loki later reclaimed the stones during the Siege of Asgard to give the Avengers a fighting chance against the Void, using the stones to temporarily boost their powers. Unfortunately, the Void realized his enemies' source of power and killed Loki.; While tracking down the escaped Fenris, the Warriors Three used the Norn Stones to travel between Midgard and Nifelhel.; Having somehow claimed one of the Norn Stones again, the Hood briefly used it in his bid to become the new Kingpin of New York. It was later stolen by Mike Murdock, a human fragment brought into existence on accident through the power of Reader. Using a book of Asgardian spells he had hired Black Cat to steal, he used the stone to rewrite history and make himself a real person.; Once again in possession of Loki (albeit a younger incarnation of him who sat upon the throne of Jotunheim), the Norn Stones were used to give life to the snowman Frösti, right hand of Loki. ============================================================ Odinsword Kind: item Page: Odinsword Formal name: Ragnarok Other aliases: Asgardian Oversword; Odinsword; Oversword; Odin-Sword; Oversword of Asgard Type: Sword First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 117 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Place of creation: Nidavellir Previous owners: Thor; Odin; Destroyer Material: Uru Notes: A third possibility for an Odinsword appeared in the World-Eaters storyline. Thor used a giant sword to cut through space/time of the World Tree, but this was never officially called the Odinsword in the comic itself, and only so called later, in one of the pre-issue descriptions. History: === "The Over Sword of Asgard" ===; One version is also known as the Over Sword of Asgard. It is a special weapon; a giant-sized sword that, if ever unsheathed, it was said, that "the end of the Universe is at hand." One story on the origin of this weapon said that it was created from a cursed Nibelung ring of gold that would bring about the end of Asgard. Greed for the powerful ring had cost many lives, including that of a mortal incarnation of Thor, due to Odin's greed for it. Upon reviving Thor, Odin sacrificed himself to atone for putting Asgard at risk for his greed and split the ring to act as bands to hang himself on the Yggdrasil. But while so hanging, he learned of the coming of the Celestials. He freed himself, and to attempt to contain the ring's curse, he transformed it into the gigantic Odinsword, which he alone could draw safely, since the curse was too powerful for him to purify. Over the years that followed, several enemies of Asgard attempted to draw the Odinsword to destroy Asgard, and the Universe with it, including Mangog. Odin used the sword as a weapon for the Destroyer armor after it absorbed the souls of all of Asgard. Despite its overwhelming power, it proved to be completely ineffective against the Celestials. Thor threw it into the Celestial Arishem the Judge, Leader of the Celestials's Fourth Host, who was unharmed. Arishem analyzed the sword, then proceeded to melt it down, exorcising the Nibelung curse in the process.; === "Ragnarok," "the end of all things" ===; A second version of the Odinsword was revealed during the Serpent's War. During the crisis with Skadi, Odin presented a sword to Thor, claiming that it was the Odinsword and revealing its true name to be "Ragnarok," "the end of all things," prior to the final confrontation with Cul Borson. Odin stated that it was the only weapon that could defeat Cul, since no other weapon could. ============================================================ Oculus Oroboros Kind: item Page: Oculus Oroboros Formal name: Oculus Oroboros Type: Weapon First appearance: Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 62 Created by: David Quinn; Melvin Rubi Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Notes: It depicts two snakes eating each other's tails.

Although seemingly bereft of all it's sister stone's physical enhancements, psychokinetic bequeathal and protective defenses against foul powers or supernatural malady's. Lyra's inheritance gives its user the uncanny capacities of magical absorption and abatement, any form of arcanum the artifact is faced with will be consumed by it to nourish the host and be nullified; through such properties it also makes its user immortal while granting them self-sustenance provided they are fed a steady supply of magic to keep the Nullgem satiated.

As he would utilize both of their respective power's with the aid of a covenant of wizards to seal Krakkan away by jettisoning him out of planetary orbit on a meteor with his scion along with him to act as the seal bearer.; ===Death of Doctor Strange===; Some ten millenia later the meteor housing the Nullgem's host would roar over the world around the time when Earth's Sorcerer Supreme met his hand at the claws of an unassailable evil trinity. As magic began to go haywire due to the loss of its esoteric sentinel causing a number of seal's, binds and locks which held all sorts of otherworldly evils at bay to spontaneously come undone in his absence.; Said same containment measure, a young girl named Lyra whom which very existence represented, also came undone as the very comet meant to permanently entrap the aspirent landed square atop the heart of Bloodstone Curios, home to its legacies Cullen and Elsa Bloodstone. With the unmaking of containment measures, the dark god would wake and sow havoc upon realizing it landed in his old enemies backyard.; Quick thinking on the Bloodstone siblings part would thankfully stymie whatever plans for chaos the wicked primordial had intended as the eldest sibling enacted a banishment sigil. To which, the jewel bearer used said same incantation coupled with her baubles power to exorcize the Glartrox from her younger brother. ============================================================ Nova Helmet Kind: item Page: Nova Helmet Formal name: Nova Helmet Other aliases: Gold Domes Type: Technology; Helmet; Translator First appearance: Nova Vol 1 1 Created by: Marv Wolfman; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Xandarian Lead designer: Xandarians Place of creation: Xandar Current owner: Nova (Richard Rider) Previous owners: Nova Corps; Captain America; Guardians of the Galaxy; Quasar; Nova Corps' Wraiths Alternate owners: Peter Parker (Earth-51977); Nova 0:0; Collapsar; Rael Rider; Nova (Logan); Xandar; Annihilus (Earth-Unknown); Byrdie the Duck (Earth-Unknown) Model: Unique Properties: The Nova Helmets were for the most part the main device used by members of the Nova Corps.

Each Nova rank was given a specific type of helmet with varying amount of access to the Nova Force. Corpsmen had 25% access to the Nova Force; Millennians 50% of the Centurions' Nova Force, but were unable to fly; Denarians held 75% of the Nova Force, and could fly to some extent; and the elite Centurions had 100% access to the Nova Force. Another variety of the Nova Helmets were the black helmets used by the Corps' black ops team, the Supernovas, which unlike the regular ones had on-board reactors that made them independent of the Worldmind.; The helmets contained radio circuitry enabling Novas to pick up radio transmissions, monitor transmissions, telescopic sights, night vision sensors, and heat imaging sensors, as well as overlay a visual heads-up display for tracking energy signatures. Within their circuitry were built translators that allowed Novas to speak to other races whose language was recorded into the helmet, such as Shi'ar and Kree. They could recycle air in order to continually provide their wearers breathable air. The helmets even contained a synaptic scrambler to use on opponents in close quarters. The Nova Helmets had rigid construction and shape when worn, but could become as malleable as cloth, allowing the Novas to hide them in civilian clothes when desired.; A single helmet that was fully charged with the Nova Force could grant its wearer Cosmic Awareness. In addition to this, the helmets could directly download into the corpsmen's mind information and expertise needed for their work, like skill-packages and dataware upgrades. They maintained their own record feed in the helmet log which served for recovery access in the case the previous owner perished. A Centurion's helmet provided access to the Nova Prime spaceship, which it could connect through the P.R.I.M.E. computer, and could see through its cloaking shield. The helmets were registered to their wearers' specific DNA, which prevented unauthorized use of those unaffiliated to the Corps, though magic could disable this function.; When worn by members of the Corps, the helmets could manifest suits around their wearers' body. The suits were made of unidentified materials that were highly resistant to damage, radiation, heat, cold including the extremes of outer space. If damaged, the suits could not only repair themselves but also heal their wearers of minor wounds. The suits included tesseract release, systems-adapt mode, flight navigation sensors and gravimetric pulse. Within the uniforms were incorporated the Centurion User Support System, or CSUSS, limited backups of the Worldmind in case it was damaged or offline. The CSUSS had the properties of the Worldmind but with a more limited intellect, decision making and self-awareness. Novas could alter the appearance and nature of their uniforms to suit their needs, and even manipulate its material in a manner similar to symbiotes.; The helmets included a malleable Xandarian alloy which could lower to cover the face by cybernetic command or via sensors in the uniform which could sense changes in pressure and atmosphere and activate automatically. Once activated, the uniforms became airtight and the helmets connected to oxygen supplies concealed within the uniforms which could last up to 6 hours. The circles on the front of the armor acted as ports and energy refueling access which can refuel the Worldmind through a Xandarian Starcorp Triple-Valve Conduit, a starship refueling apparatus that usually kills non-Nova Corpsmen. Trivia: The Nova Corps of Earth-94241, instead of helmets, made use of Nova Stars which through nanotechnology manifested a helmet and suit when placed on someone's head.; The Helmet was a bit small for some humans and Skrulls which hurt their ears. History: The Nova Helmets were the Nova Corps' most known and notable equipment. It was created by the Xandarians to be provided to most members of the Corps in order to maintain peace throughout the universe. Each members' rank was given a specific type of helmet which were different from one another and gave varying amount of access to the Nova Force.; The human known as Richard Rider would receive the Nova Prime helmet after its previous owner, Rhomann Dey fell on Earth and in his dying breath gave his helmet to Rider. Doning the Nova helmet, Rider was imbued with immense power and became the hero Nova, protecting not only Earth but the galaxy as well.; During the reassembling of the Nova Corps following their destruction at the hands of the Annihilation Wave, the Xandarian Worldmind stripped Rider of his Nova status as he saw that it had gone mad, and along with it he lost the helmet, leaving him powerless. With the help of the Quantum Bands, Rider took back his helmet, and with it his powers, and returned the Worldmind to its former self.; Rider would lose his helmet again after being trapped in the Cancerverse. The new Nova, Sam Alexander, eventually found Richard's helmet and gave it to his parents Charles and Gloria Rider to have as a keepsake of their son who they thought dead. Rider would much later finally escape from the Cancerverse and after reuniting with his mother, got his helmet back. ============================================================ Null Cascade Kind: item Page: Null Cascade Formal name: Null Cascade Type: Weapon First appearance: X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 257 Created by: Mike Carey Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Shi'Ar Place of creation: Chandilar Properties: The main faculty of such a devastating armament is its capability as a self-sustaining antimatter generator and transducer. It quite literally operates by using adjacent positive material interjecting between it and its target to propagate and further its wide spread of fire while powering itself at the same time. Said device is A.I. automated and can only be activated, much less initiated by high ranking Shi'Ar commanders. History: A weapon of ultimate destruction engineered by the most brutal of Shi'Ar war masters, only to be sequestered away due to just how volitally destructive it is shortly after usage. The Null Cascade stands as a heavy machinery weapons platform built to withstand heavy earthquakes and wipe out major parsecs in a single shot. Designed during the earlier era's of the imperium, old leaders and chancelors decided it was too dangerous to keep in their employ any longer. Deciding to scuttle the device, they had it sequestered on Gul Damar Space Station within its Anathema Vault stationed upon it.; There it would spend several centuries collecting dust until the satellite was co-opted by a violently rogue servitor entity by the name of Friendless. A deeply embittered Grad Nan Holt crime slave beholden to his own race and the Shi'Ar who took to making them slaughter each other for entertainment purposes, until the Starjammers and a couple of X-Men made it aboard the station. To which he'd opt to push the current puppet governor of Gul Damar into unsealing the vault and activating said long dormant WMD to employ it against them.; The plan nearly succeeded if not for the fact that Rogue had an on hand teleporter beacon loaned tom her by the Shi'Ar brigand Sovel Redhand. Which she used to rescue both her people and his abandoned crew members from the cascades Anti-Matter blast. Having previously assimilated high intellectual capacity from various new contacts, Ms. Marie was able to punch in a slew of calculations while employing the hyper-destructive faculties of the Null Cascade to transform the native star said space colony gravitates around into a wormhole for the sake of transporting her crew and the few billion adjacent residence into Earth space. Saving the day and everyone aboard. ============================================================ Nàihé Hunping Kind: item Page: Nàihé Hunping Formal name: Nàihé Hunping First appearance: Moonstar Vol 1 2 Created by: Ashley Allen; Edoardo Audino Reality: Earth-616 ============================================================ Omega Fertilizer Kind: item Page: Omega Fertilizer Formal name: Omega Fertilizer Type: Chemical weapon First appearance: Captain America Vol 7 1 Created by: Rick Remender; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Green Skull Properties: The chemical had the ability to cause plants to grow on human beings. History: Omega Fertilizer was a chemical weapon developed for use by the eco-terrorist Green Skull. He loaded missiles containing the substance onto a hijacked aircraft and intended to use them against Manhattan as part of his plan to eliminate humanity in order to save the Earth from pollution.; Captain America prevented Green Skull from deploying the missiles by taking control of the aircraft and redirecting it away from Manhattan before abandoning it with Green Skull. ============================================================ Orb of Agamotto Kind: item Page: Orb of Agamotto Formal name: Orb of Agamotto Other aliases: Crystal of Agamotto; Eye of Prescience; Eternal Eye,; Mystic Globe,; Earthly Scanner, the second Eye of Agamotto Type: Unique Jewel First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 118 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Said to have been created as Agamotto reached the end of the second path of magic, that which allows one to draw upon energies from around them, not just from within. Lead designer: Agamotto Place of creation: Pre-Cataclysm Earth Current owner: Doctor Strange Previous owners: Agamotto; Agamotto's disciple Properties: The Orb was directly empowered by Agamotto extra-dimensionally and was in some way connected to him.; While powerful, the Orb has been blocked by exceptionally powerful mystic forces, even those lesser in strength in terms of raw power compared to Agamotto (such as Umar of the Dark Dimension (whose power surpasses that of Doctor Strange and rivals that of Dormammu, Odin and Zeus) or the Enchantress of Asgard (who, while ranking among Asgard's top twenty magic practitioners, is reasonably less powerful than Umar) who do not want their exact location known.; Normally it is used for scrying. It will often match the appearance of Earth like a globe and point out possible dangers.; The Orb of Agamotto can be used to teleport others or to travel into Agamotto's personal realm.; The Orb is also capable of projecting a telepathic voice (different to each who hears it, yet with the same essential meaning, likely from Agamotto himself). Once, after displaying an image in its depths of the desired subject, revealing the past of the Evil Eye of Akron while simultaneously displaying corresponding images; as Doctor Strange had been expecting such a voice, it seems that either the Orb had displayed such an ability in the past, or the Sorcerer Supreme knew it possessed such an ability.; The Orb can peer into other dimensions and other worlds, automatically detect and locate the use of powerful magic, and reveal any great evil threat to the world. Though it is possible to view images of other planets or outer space through the Orb in the same dimension, from Doctor Strange's inability to find Nighthawk, this makes it apparent that one must know the general location of the desired person, object or place, or else they would scour the cosmos for an eternity. The Orb is even capable of finding dead beings, at least those the user had been considerably familiar with. The Orb can be used as a gateway for the viewer to enter the dimensions it displays. It also seems to be dimensionally linked to the Eye of Agamotto. Individuals entering the Orb can at times exit through the Eye and vice versa. Notes: In early issues of Defenders Vol 1, the Orb of Agamotto is referred to as the "Eye" of Agamotto and the "Crystal" of Agamotto. History: ===Origins===; The Orb of Agamotto, also known as the second Eye of Agamotto, was created by Agamotto during his search on Earth for Oshtur, the second journey of Agamotto, known as the Emerald Road (Agamotto also discovered ecocentric magic, derived from immediate environment).; ===Early years===; Presumably after Agamotto withdrew from Earth following the war between the two factions of the Bird Men of Akah Ma'at, he took an unidentified alien disciple, who carried the Eye and the Orb, until he saw good and evil as subjective terms, not worth fighting for.; ===Modern Age===; The orb rested in Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum in a room called the Chamber of Shadows. It usually is inside a display case with three curved legs. When summoned, the glass covering rises from its enchanted Cask of Concealment and the ball levitates.; The Orb was once thought destroyed when Doctor Strange's Mansion was heavily damaged, but Agamotto was able to preserve all of Strange's artifacts. ============================================================ Omega Stone Kind: item Page: Omega Stone Formal name: Vi-Sha Other aliases: Omega Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 16 Created by: Len Wein; Gil Kane Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Basilisk Model: Unique Notes: The origin of the Alpha and Omega Stones was originally somewhat different. According to what Captain Marvel told Spider-Man in Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 16, the Kree considered the Alpha and Omega Stones to be so dangerous that a Kree starship was taking them to be destroyed in the heart of a distant sun when a crewman, motivated by greed, killed the guards and stole the gems. When the life-craft in which the thief tried to escape exploded soon after leaving the mother-ship, the gems were believed to have been destroyed but they actually survived and drifted through space until they landed on Earth.; The retconned origin of the stones that were joined to create the Lifestone Tree was revealed by the Kree Supreme Intelligence in Thunderbolts Vol 1 45 and was seemingly confirmed as fact by I.S.A.A.C. in Thunderbolts Vol 1 46. However, there are still some inconsistencies with this origin that have never been explained, and both the Supreme Intelligence and I.S.A.A.C. have been known to be less than truthful at times.; The Alpha-Stone was believed to be an emerald because of its green color while the Omega-Stone's red color caused Elks to assume that it was a ruby. The retcon that established that they were two halves of a larger original stone does not explain their differing appearances.; Although the story in Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 16 clearly shows the giant Omega Stone simply disappearing into thin air, the recap told by the Basilisk in Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 47 instead claims that the stone actually sank into the earth and down through it. History: The Alpha Stone and the Omega Stone were originally both part of a larger stone that was a geological survivor of the Big Bang.; Thousands of years ago, members of the Kree race discovered a stone of tremendous power on the planet Kree-Lar. When the Kree split the stone in half, they unleashed massive forces of order and chaos that killed thousands of people. The Kree named the two halves of the original stone "Ke-Thai" (Alpha) and "Vi-Sha" (Omega) for Life and Death. The existence of these stones attracted the attention of scientists from more advanced races to Kree-Lar and they brought with them their own stones of power which, after some study, they determined were all remnants from the previous universe. The scientists discovered that the Alpha and Omega Stones could be used to channel extra-dimensional energies through them and into the smaller gems that had been brought to Kree-Lar. Those gems were then used to power an engine that genetically remade the bodies of eight aliens from different races into more advanced forms.; This Lifestone Tree remained on Kree-Lar for over two centuries until the galactic peace that had been maintained by the Chosen Eight of Fate collapsed. At that point, it was decided that the Lifestones should be removed to prevent intergalactic pirates from stealing them. However, this plan failed and the starship carrying the Lifestones was attacked. When the starship's warp drive imploded, it created a fissure in space that sucked the starship and the shattered stones into it, and the debris was later ejected through spatial anomalies throughout the galaxy. One such anomaly opened on the fringes of Earth's Solar System and spread slivers and fragments of the Lifestones across the planets.; The Alpha and Omega Stones both landed on Earth, with the Omega Stone landing on the island that would later be called Manhattan and embedding itself in the ground while the Alpha Stone landed elsewhere. The Omega Stone remained buried for centuries but the Alpha Stone was found, mistaken for a very large emerald and eventually ended up on display in a museum in New York City. When a botched robbery resulted in the Alpha Stone being shattered, small-time criminal Basil Elks was doused by the gem's Kree-born energies which transformed his body and granted him immense powers. Upon discovering his new powers, Elks renamed himself the Basilisk and was now able to sense that another power like that which had transformed him was somewhere nearby. Despite some interference by Spider-Man and Captain Marvel, the Basilisk made his way to a construction site on Wall Street where he began digging down to the Omega Stone. However, before the Basilisk could reach it, Spider-Man and Captain Marvel arrived at the site. While Spider-Man kept the Basilisk busy, Captain Marvel unearthed the Omega Stone which reacted to his touch by swiftly growing in size. Before Mar-Vell could evade it, the gem had grown around one of his legs and the rest of his body was then pulled inside the gem as it fed on his Kree-energies. Seconds later, the Omega Stone began to glow and then disappeared.; The Omega Stone had been teleported to Subterranea by the Moloids because their master, the Mole Man, needed such a giant jewel in order to make his giant laser cannon function. However, before the laser cannon could be activated, Spider-Man and Mister Fantastic arrived in search of Mar-Vell. They were followed by the Basilisk who wanted the Omega Stone and soon dealt with any opposition. Just as the Basilisk was about to touch the Omega Stone, Captain Marvel clashed his Nega-Bands together, causing him to exchange places with Rick Jones. Deprived of Mar-Vell's Kree energies, the Omega Stone instantly shrank back down to its original size, releasing Jones as it did so. As the magma pits began to erupt, the Basilisk reached for the Omega Stone again but he and it were both swallowed by a wave of molten magma.; Although believed to have been killed, the Basilisk had managed to touch the Omega Stone and it had instantly grown to encase him, protecting him from the lava. The Omega Stone then drifted down a river of molten magma until it was found by some Moloids who regarded it as a gift from their gods and placed it within a deep cavern that was soon sealed by an earthquake. When the only Moloid left within the cavern dared to touch it, the Omega Stone diasappeared and its energies joined those of the Alpha Stone that were already within the Basilisk's body. ============================================================ Orb of Ra Kind: item Page: Orb of Ra Formal name: Orb of Ra Type: Unique Jewel First appearance: Bloodstone Vol 1 3 Created by: Dan Abnett; Andy Lanning; Michael Lopez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Ennead Current owner: N'Kantu Previous owners: Rakses Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The Orb of Ra made an appearance on the cover to Bloodstone Vol 1 4, but does not appear in the actual issue.; The exact age of the Orb of Ra is a matter of speculation. At the very least, it is over three-thousand years old. Rakses made allusions to a past feud with N'Kantu, which could only have taken place during the time that N'Kantu was still a living human being. N'Kantu became a "Living Mummy" sometime around 1000 BCE. History: The Orb of Ra is an ancient mystical artifact dating back to the time of the Egyptian necromancer, Rakses (c. 1051-1047 BC). According to Egyptian mythology, the Orb was crafted from the right eye of Hathor in order to prevent her from transforming into the war goddess, Sekhmet. A device of immeasurable power, the full extent of its capabilities is unknown, but it has demonstrated the ability to raise the dead, as well as to take command over the living.; Years ago, an ambitious revolutionary named Mister Fazil discovered the tomb of Rakses and recovered the Orb of Ra. Working alongside his associate, Doctor Minkly, Fazil used the Orb to reanimate Rakses' personal bodyguards. He then used it as the focal point in a ceremony to resurrect Rakses himself. Fazil misspoke the incantation; however, and he was unable to maintain control over Rakses, who then killed Fazil and recovered the Orb.; N'Kantu, the Living Mummy and monster-hunter Elsa Bloodstone arrived at the pyramid and fought with Rakses. Rakses used the orb to summon the Demon of the Sands, as well as a monstrous scarab to attack them, but N'Kantu managed to distract the necromancer long enough for Elsa to snatch the Orb. With the aid of Adam, the three were able to destroy Rakses and the Living Mummy used the Orb to dispel Rakses' creations. He then took it upon himself to become the caretaker of the Orb of Ra.; When the Living Mummy was incarcerated for refusing to register his identity in accordance with the Superhuman Registration Act, the Orb of Ra was presumably taken away from him. Through a means as yet unrevealed, the Mummy escaped imprisonment and regained possession of the Orb, using it to summon the spirit of Nephrus, the ancient wizard responsible for transforming him into a living mummy. ============================================================ Orphu Time Machine (Earth-74924) Kind: item Page: Orphu Time Machine Formal name: Orphu Time Machine Other aliases: Orphu Timeship Type: Time Machine First appearance: All This and World War II Created by: Ray Winninger Reality: Earth-74924 Origin: Alien Lead designer: Orphu Place of creation: Orphu planet Current owner: Unknown Previous owners: The Orphus; Nazi High Command History: The Orphu time machine was developed by alien race of time-travelers, the Orphu.; One particular timeship crash-landed in Nazi Berlin in 1943, with all the crew killed. The Nazi High Command took control of the rests and put a team of scientists to work on it. The team was led by Baron Heinrich Zemo, with one of the assistants being Dr. Klaus Kruptmann. After months of work, they finally repaired the timeship, and built two more operative timeships.; The Red Skull decided that the best way to use this weapon was to send elite commandos to the future, so that they could obtain fantastic weapons they could use against the Allies. The Blautot Commandos were chosen for this. They were sent to 1989; 2146 and 5718. The 5718 unit was lost, but the 2146 unit brought an almost impervious airborne attack vehicle that could level small towns.; The 1989 unit reached San Diego and was greeted by an aged Kruptmann, who was working in a secret project about "chronal locomation". Kruptmann was working for American federal government, but was still a faithful Nazi and wanted to help the Commandos. He helped them to enter a secret lab, where they could steal the Cavalier Infantry Support System. However, the Blautot where defeated by a team of super-heroes and Kruptmann was discovered. The super-heroes found the timeship and travelled to 1943, to stop the Nazis from using the 2146 weapon.; The super-heroes allied with the Invaders, stopped the plan and used the timeship to return to 1989. The 2146 timeship and the airborne weapon were destroyed. ============================================================ Overkill Horn Kind: item Page: Overkill Horn Formal name: S.H.I.E.L.D. Overkill Horn Other aliases: Overkill Horn; Overkill Mind Type: Technology First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 150 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology History: The Overkill Horn was designed during the Cold War, to seek and explode enemy nuclear weapons thousands of miles away. S.H.I.E.L.D. created a prototype to test the effects, since they suspected HYDRA had constructed a 'super overkill horn' capable of detonating all nuclear arsenals in the world at once. This Overkill Horn was destroyed, taking the HYDRA base it was constructed in with it.; The S.H.I.E.L.D. prototype was used twice, before being classified as Z-class weapon, too dangerous to be used again. It was kept in a weapons storage beneath the Pentagon, until Nicolas Weir released a Nanomolecular Assembler Cloud which began transforming it and reconfiguring it to his exact specifications. As the weapon began to grow and physically engulf Lieutenant Crater, he lost control of the operation and fled.; After merging with the nanites, the device morphed into a sentient construct with the ability to fly. Dubbing itself the Overkill Mind, it used a modified vortex transport beam to bring Weir within its hull. Weir had rewrote its programming, preventing it from fulfilling its primary function to detonate enemy weapons systems without a direct human order. To accomplish its goals, it infected Weir with his own nanites, but Weir would not give the order without asking for his own favor--to attack the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier and Tony Stark.; The Overkill Mind continued altering Weir's brain, trying to make him give it the command. However Iron Man was able to free Weir from it, allowing Weir to disarm it. Weir subsequently used the Overkill Mind to detonate Nasim Rahimov's supply of thumbnail nukes, under Stark's orders, preventing a disastrous nuclear terrorist attack. ============================================================ Orb of Eternity Kind: item Page: Orb of Eternity Formal name: Orb of Eternity Other aliases: Eternal Orb Type: Jewel First appearance: Warlock and the Infinity Watch Vol 1 15 Created by: Jim Starlin; Angel Medina Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Created by Eternity and then given to Warlock as a means of Communication Previous owners: Adam Warlock Notes: Eternity's warnings:; "One being will be in need of a Soul" (This must be Count Abyss who battled the Infinity Watch shortly thereafter. Abyss gave his soul to the Zalkor in order to become omnipotent. Through Warlock's Soul Gem he wanted to gain a new soul.); "Another is entangled in a web of past and future woes" (Most likely Maxam who was sent into the past to kill Warlock before he could become the Magus and then suffered from amnesia.); "There is one who will touch your heart" (Probably Maya who was used as a puppet by Count Abyss. By means of a love potion created by Abyss, Maya and Adam fell in love, but she ended up marrying Darklore for political reasons.); "Still another is one whose trust you will betray" (Either Kray-Tor, whom Adam would forcibly make use of to defeat Count Abyss, or Gamora who leaves the Watch after Adam decides to give the Mind Gem to Maxam whom she never trusted.); "The last one will be the terrible good that is within you" (Must be the Goddess who started her Infinity Crusade a few months later. She is Warlock's good side which he expelled after gaining the Infinity Gauntlet.); Jim Starlin left Marvel before he could follow up on all these warnings. We can take the Goddess and Count Abyss for granted, Maxam is very likely the right choice though we do not know how Starlin would have resolved the angle around him. The rest is pure speculation. History: Was given to Warlock by Eternity after Eternity awoke Adam from catatonia in which he fell after beating the Magus at the end of the Infinity War. Eternity gave Warlock the warning that he would encounter five beings of various astral importance and each of them will play a significant role in Warlock's existence. Since all of them would pose a grave danger to the universe, Eternity gave the Orb to Warlock in order to help him deal with those five beings.; After Warlock finally awoke from his coma the Orb appeared in Warlock's castle on Monster Isle. Through the Orb Eternity told Adam about Thor's condition during the Blood and Thunder event. Helping Thor would put the Thunder God in Warlock's debt and he would be a strong ally for Warlock in the future.; The Orb last appeared in Warlock and the Infinity Watch Vol 1 37. It is not known what happened to the Orb after the disbanding of the Watch and the destruction of Monster Isle in Warlock and the Infinity Watch Vol 1 42. ============================================================ Omphalos Kind: item Page: Omphalos Formal name: Omphalos Other aliases: The Navel of the Axis Mundi Type: Unique First appearance: Marvel Graphic Novel Vol 1 23: Doctor Strange: Into Shamballa Created by: J.M. DeMatteis; Dan Green Origin: Olympian; Magical Lead designer: Atlantis's council Place of creation: At the Axis Mundi History: ===Great Cataclysm===; In 18,000 BC, a group of sorcerers in Atlantis tried to harness the power of Omphalosthe "naval of the axis" to control the turning of the Axis to make themselves the center of the world forever. This caused Atlas tremendous pain. The powerful energies wielded through the Omphalos caused the Great Cataclysm sinking Atlantis beneath the ocean.; ===Modern Age===; The Queen of the Amazons; Artume hoped to use the Omphalos to manipulate the Axis Mundi bringing the world under the control of the Amazons. After inciting a ritualistic dialect to relive the Atlas burden of holding up the heavens and setting him upon Hercules as a distraction. Namora assisted in the fight as the heroes battled the vengeful titan he grabbed the Washington Monument and used it as a club. Hercules entered the Smithsonian Institution and began throwing aircraft and the vengeful Titan. However Hercules was able to knock Atlas out crashing to the ground. During the hustle and bustle of reality shifts between the various hands who possessed the universe altering item in question, Artume sneaked in a cheap shot against its last handler before completing the chanting rite which enabled her to take the reigns of reality into her hands. This short lived world where Amazonia reigned supreme was returned to normal and Atlas was returned to his punishment. ============================================================ Orichalcum Wings Kind: item Page: Orichalcum Wings Formal name: Orichalcum Wings Type: Flight Harness First appearance: Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 9 Created by: Roy Thomas; Rafael Kayanan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: wings, with Vril (possibly along other steps of crafting) Lead designer: Daedikaron Place of destruction: Desert of Yondo Previous owners: Daedikaron History: These Orichalcum wings, treated with Vril (possibly along other steps of crafting) allowed Daedikaron to glide. He even managed to fly, a moment before his death. ============================================================ Omegadrive Kind: item Page: Omegadrive Formal name: Omegadrive Other aliases: Omega Drive Type: Technology First appearance: Daredevil Vol 3 6 Created by: Mark Waid; Marcos Martín Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Mr. Randall Additional designers: Reed Richards (source material) Current owner: Mister Fantastic Previous owners: Mr. Randall; Mr. Zachary; Matt Murdock Model: 1 Version: 1 Trivia: In Avenging Spider-Man Vol 1 6, Reed Richards suggested to Spider-Man that the torn costume piece used to create the Omegadrive likely came from Johnny Storm's costume since he was sloppy at cleaning up. History: The Omegadrive is a piece of technology created by Midas Corporation as its "leverage point" from a torn costume piece of the Fantastic Four recovered from one of their battles. Using the Unstable Molecules contained within the costume piece, it contains billions of gigs of confidential information about the operations of Midas Corp and five different terrorist and criminal organizations, A.I.M., Hydra, Agencé Byzantine, Secret Empire, and the Black Spectre.; After Daredevil stole it from Mr. Zachary of Roxxon Oil, he became the crime world's most wanted man. Daredevil used the data from the device to shut Black Spectre down. Later, following the battle that he, Spider-Man, and The Punisher fought against the other organizations and as well as other criminal groups, Daredevil got involved in protecting the Omegadrive from another attempt from the criminal groups attempting to steal it back. During the struggle, Black Spectre appeared and took it back. It was later revealed that Daredevil had some of his teammates in the New Avengers masquerade as Black Spectre to make it look like they were still active in an attempt to be able to draw the heat off Daredevil and get them off his back. The Omegadrive was last mentioned to have been handed back to Reed Richards for him to draw more data from it. ============================================================ Omni-Wave Projector Kind: item Page: Omni-Wave Projector Formal name: Omni-Wave Projector Other aliases: Omni-Wave; Nightstone Type: Technology; Energy Weapon First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 93 Created by: Roy Thomas; Neal Adams; } Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Kree Place of creation: King's Crossing Place of destruction: Andromeda Galaxy History: As the Avengers were battling the Skrulls in King's Crossing, an unguarded Captain Marvel escaped and engineered an Omni-Wave Projector in order to get a report to the Kree that the Skrulls were on Earth. Carol Danvers then revealed herself to be the Super-Skrull in disguise, and what he wanted was a working Omni-Wave Projector. Although Captain Marvel destroyed the device before Super-Skrull could examine it, he was abducted along with Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.; Returning to the Andromeda Galaxy, the Super-Skrull, as an unwanted exile, was subdued by Emperor Dorrek VII’s forces, and the prisoners transferred into the Emperor’s custody. Dorrek threatened the lives of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, so Captain Marvel agreed to construct an Omni-Wave Projector for him, as a final solution to end the Kree/Skrull War.; During a negotiation with the Avengers, the Skrull Emperor then threatened Earth with a death ray from the Omni-Wave Projector that Captain Marvel was building, but during his speech, he was surprised to discover that Captain Marvel had escaped and freed Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.; Attempting to use the Omni-Wave to contact Rick Jones, Captain Marvel unintentionally sent him to the Negative Zone, as an unforeseen side effect of the Omni-Wave Projector. Captain Marvel then destroyed that device as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch battled the Skrulls. It was eventually revealed that the Supreme Intelligence, through elaborate machinations, influenced Captain Marvel to construct the Kree Omni-Wave Projector to stimulate the latent psionic potential in Jones' mind.; Much later, Lunella "Moon Girl" Lafayette built a device designed to uncover Kree technology and found an Omni-Wave Projector hidden beneath the Brooklyn Bridge in the Financial District of Manhattan. Elsewhere, long ago in Earth-78411, a New Folk named Thorn-Teeth was also revealed to be in possession of an Omni-Wave Projector they called the Nightstone. When Coach Hrbek accidentally activated Lunella's device, it opened a portal across space and time from Dinosaur World to Earth-616, allowing the Killer-Folk to cross over into present day New York City. Devil Dinosaur followed, looking to avenge the death of his longtime companion Moon-Boy at the hands of Thorn-Teeth's tribe.; Before parting ways with the Mutant Devil-Beast, Moon Girl revealed to Devil Dinosaur that she needed the Omni-Wave Projector because she believed it was the key to protecting her from the cloud of Terrigen Mist circling the planet and would thus prevent her latent Inhuman DNA from forcing change upon her through Terrigenesis; however she was captured by the Killer-Folk, who claimed her Omni-Wave Projector as their own, shortly thereafter. Luckily Devil Dinosaur arrived to rescue Lunella from the Killer-Folk, though they were unable to recover the Omni-Wave Projector, as Gurf took it and dove into the East River.; During the Cotati invasion of Earth, the Dark Harvest, a secret and deadly sect of the Priests of Pama, abducted the child Kree soldier Jo-Venn from the custody of the Fantastic Four. Jo-Venn's nature as a receptacle of the entire history of his species allowed the Dark Harvest to probe his mind to learn how to build an Omni-Wave Projector. At this time, the Kree and the Skrull empires had joined forces into the Alliance to combat the Cotati. After constructing the Omni-Wave Projector, the Dark Harvest also secured N'Kalla, Jo-Venn's counterpart from the Skrull Empire. The sect then forced both children to beam into the minds of every Kree and Skrull memories of the Kree/Skrull War, which awakened the buried enmity between the two species and risked to tear apart the Alliance. Franklin and Valeria Richards managed to convince Jo-Venn and N'Kalla to focus on their bond that had stemmed from their rivalry, filling the troops of the Alliance with positive feelings for each other, strengthening their union and foiling the Dark Harvest's plan. ============================================================ Operation: Eucritta Tape Kind: item Page: Operation: Eucritta Tape Formal name: Operation: Eucritta Tape Other aliases: The Tape Type: Technology; VHS First appearance: Hawkeye Vol 4 4 Created by: Matt Fraction; Javier Pulido Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: S.H.I.E.L.D.

Each box contained a catalyst and holographic message from Stark. For example, Peter Parker was given a radioactive spider. Despite limited success due to interception, rejection, or the recipient being killed, the Origin Boxes helped Iron Lad and Doom build the Ultimates, a network of heroes opposing the Maker's regime.; The Maker had hoarded super-powered catalysts, and during his absence, Emmanuel Da Costa of the Maker's Council started building his own Origin Boxes. However, some of the catalysts were deemed too unstable by Da Costa to risk using, so he kept them hidden in a vault next to the City. They were discovered by the Ultimates and Miles Morales, who had traveled to Earth-6160 from Earth-616 using a card the Maker had given him, and one of them included Morales' own catalyst, unlocking his memories of Earth-1610.; ===Arrival at Earth-616===; Because the Maker's catalysts were too dangerous, Morales offered to take them to Earth-616 to give to the Avengers for safekeeping. Unfortunately, Miles lost the boxes during a fight with the Spot, and they were scattered via the Spot's portals. Random civilians opened these boxes, resulting in the emergence of Sightseer, Hostilicus, Morgul, and Wonder Man (Vin Lerner).; A PMC called Primewarrior traced another Origin Box in Northern Alberta. At the same time, Primewarrior was doing experiments on a teenage mutant named Tyler Torrens. When David Colton attacked Primewarrior's base, Tyler escaped with the Origin Box, but Tyler went to Primewarrior's headquarters with the Origin Box in hand, seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, Colton and Wolverine, who had been tracking Tyler, arrived at the scene and escaped with Tyler and the Origin Box, though Colton was shot. To save Colton's life, Wolverine opened the Origin Box and used it on Colton.; ==Recipients and Catalysts==; ===Stark Boxes===; The following received Origin Boxes from Iron Lad and Doom to restore super heroes to Earth-6160:; Peter Parker: Origin Box successfully received.

Some of these were taken to Earth-616:; Emmanuel Da Costa: Used the Maker's catalysts to create his own Origin Boxes. Used some on himself. Multiple unknown catalysts, granting at least transformation and laser vision.; Defenders: According to Magik, Da Costa used some of the Maker's catalysts for the Defenders, but it is unclear which member(s) received powers this way. For example, Sam Guthrie was a mutant and thus did not get his powers from an Origin Box.; Miles Morales: A resident of Earth-616, originally from Earth-1610, who found a catalyst that resonated with him and it restored his memories of Earth-1610.; Paulina: A resident of Earth-616 who opened an Origin Box.

The pills enabled a person to survive beneath the surface by supplying oxygen to the bloodstream for an hour. History: Reed devised the Oxy-Pills as part of his efforts to rescue Susan Storm after she was abducted by Namor and taken to his underwater kingdom. Following the rescue, the pills were among the equipment available to the Fantastic Four for operating underwater.; After the unconscious Bruce Banner was found at sea, Lady Dorma rescued him and brought him to Atlantis. Before taking him to her chambers to recover, she gave Banner an Oxy-Pill that enabled him to breathe underwater for up to twenty-four hours. The pill allowed Banner to remain alive while recovering in Atlantis. When Namor confronted Dorma over Banner's presence, their argument caused enough stress for Banner to transform into the Hulk, leading to a battle between the Hulk and the Sub-Mariner.; Before the Fantastic Four's expedition to Namor's underwater fortress in the South Atlantic, Reed Richards instructed the Thing, Medusa, and Human Torch to take Oxy-Pills so they could operate underwater. The pills allowed them to remain submerged for the duration of their mission. ============================================================ Pincers of Power Kind: item Page: Pincers of Power Formal name: Pincers of Power Type: Weapon First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 140 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Dormammu Current owner: Dormammu; Doctor Strange History: The Pincers of Power were used when Dormammu challenged Doctor Strange to combat, the prize being mastery of the earth. Doctor Strange accepted, and as the terms said, he had to battle Dormammu with only the Pincers. The two fought, with Dormammu having the upper hand and throwing Strange to the ground, defeating him. But, Mordo had struck Doctor Strange before he was defeated by Dormammu, causing Dormammu to become enraged. Dormammu, having a strong sense of honor, waited for Strange to recover, and once again they did battle, this time Strange winning. The Pincers of Power have since been unused. ============================================================ Photon Sword Kind: item Page: Photon Sword Formal name: Photon Sword Other aliases: Laser Sword; Las-Sword; Electromagnetic "Blade"; Neural Sword; Neuro-Sword; Photonic Sword; Sunsword Type: Sword First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 343 Created by: Bob Harras; Steve Epting Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Dane Whitman Place of creation: Avengers Mansion, Manhattan, New York City, New York Previous owners: Black Knight; Crystal Material: Photons Properties: Photon Blade: The emitter hilt projects a beam of concentrated photonic energy to create a "blade".; Neural Disruption: The Photon Sword can act as a neural disruptor against living subjects. When the blade cuts or stabs someone, it delivers a stun-blast to the being's central nervous system leaving them incapacitated.; Polarity Field: By reversing the sword's energy field, the user can encase their arm in it polarity field allowing for protection during hand-to-hand combat. The sword's neural paralyzing effect is still present, which can make up for strength disparities.; Illumination: The sword can be used as a light source. Notes: The Photon Sword appears to be highly visually inspired by Lightsabers from Star Wars. Trivia: The Photon Sword does not appear to be able to pierce Captain America's Shield.; The Photon Sword appears to have little to no effect on the Hulk. History: When the curse of the Ebony Blade became too much, Dane Whitman designed and constructed a technologically-based replacement called the Photon Sword. During his first mission back as a fulltime Avenger, Black Knight used his Photon Sword to go toe-to-toe with Swordsman.; During Operation Galactic Storm, Black Knight used his Photon Sword to fight against Shi'ar warriors, Korath the Pursuer with his Beta-Baton, and Ronan the Accuser with his Universal Weapon. When facing the Supreme Intelligence, Black Knight dealt the killing blow with his Photon Sword. Angered by the fall of the Kree Empire, Raza challenged Black Knight to a duel. Black Knight almost won by reversing his sword's energy field, but when Raza took Luna as hostage, Black Knight was forced to surrender.; When Black Knight's squire, Sean Dolan stole the Ebony Blade and became Bloodwraith, Black Knight and the Avengers fought him. Unfortunately, Bloodwraith was the victor and escaped on Valinor. When he reemerged, Black Knight, Bloodwraith, and Deadpool enraged in a threeway duel with Black Knight being the victor.; Black Knight continued to use his Photon Sword against opponents like Legion of the Unliving, the Swordsman (again), his ancestor Sir Raston in Chronopolis, Quasar, Serse, Asylum, Magdalene, Captain America, Kree Sentries, Exodus, and Sliver.; Armed with his Photon Sword, Black Knight faced off with Proctor (an alternate world version of himself) armed with the Ebony Blade. When it appeared that Black Knight had lost, Quicksilver and Crystal used their powers to disarm Proctor and Serse slew him using his own Ebony Blade.; Following the death of Proctor, Serse and Black Knight left the Avengers and entered a portal to the unknown. Black Knight left behind his helmet and Photon Sword, which was taken by Crystal. Unfortunately, in transit Black Knight's helmet and Photon Sword reappeared and Serse and Black Knight were separated. They both landed in the Ultraverse, but while Black Knight wound up in Miami, Serse found herself in Africa. Armed with his Photon Sword, Black Knight joined the UltraForce.; When Serse finally attempted to return her and the Black Knight to their proper dimension and time, the Photon Sword appears to have been lost. ============================================================ Panther Idol Kind: item Page: Panther Idol Formal name: Panther Idol Type: Idol First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 52 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Origin: Wakandan Previous owners: T'Challa History: The idol of the Black Panther cult.

It was given to him by Hawkeye, when he had to return Captain America's original shield back to him. It resembles the traditional shield found in the Seal of the United States. Due to being a replica, it can be assumed to be made from steel instead of Vibranium.; ===Rayshaun Lucas's Shield===; When Steve Rogers revealed himself to be Hydra and seized firm control of the United States of America thanks to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Act, Rayshaun Lucas ended up getting a secret file which explained what Kobik had done to rewrite Captain America's history. Shaun reached out to the Underground and he gave the files to the Tony Stark A.I..; To thank Shaun for restoring his hope, Tony grabbed Shaun's designs for a new Patriot and built him a new shield that is also a glider and a drone. ============================================================ Pillar of Sovereignty Kind: item Page: Pillar of Sovereignty Formal name: Pillar of Sovereignty Type: Structure First appearance: Thor Vol 1 267 Created by: Len Wein; Walt Simonson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian History: Balder was leading the construction of Odin's Pillar of Sovereignty, but one of the cables snapped, threatening to kill many.

History: Reed Richards created the Wrist Morpher which was then stolen by Peter Parker. It was first activated on Earth and then was used to get to Counter-Earth. When he became stranded on the planet, Peter Parker used his Wrist Morpher to transform himself into Spider-Man almost constantly and never took it off.; == Capabilities ==; High-tech Watch: Peter dons his Spider-Man Unlimited suit, which is comprised of a wristwatch-like device filled with nanobots the majority of the suit and its gadgets are made of.; Suit Materialization: The nanobots form around the wearers body to materialize the suit. ============================================================ Palladium (Element) (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Palladium (Element) Formal name: Palladium Other aliases: Pd Type: Material First appearance: Iron Man (film) Created by: Jon Favreau; Mark Fergus; Hawk Ostby; Art Marcum; Matt Holloway Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: William Hyde Wollaston (discoverer) Place of creation: Earth Previous owners: Iron Man Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable History: Tony Stark's design of the Arc Reactor in his chest required a heavy element such as palladium to keep it running. Unfortunately, palladium was continuously eroded by the neutron bombardment and released deadly poisons into Tony's body.; Realizing he was dying, Stark began acting very erratically including signing control of Stark Industries to Pepper, spontaneously deciding to drive his own formula 1 in a race in Monaco, and indulging in alcohol and women. With Tony's behavior getting out of hand, Rhodey was forced into stealing the Iron Man Mark II Armor, brawl with Tony in his Malibu mansion, and take the Mark II Armor back to the US Military. Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intervention temporarily reversed some of the palladium poisoning symptoms allowing Tony to discover his father's design for a new element to replace the palladium. Building a small particle accelerator in his garage, Tony was finally able to create a new element that met his needs, and in turn created a new armor suit to utilize the new power. ============================================================ Pillow of Life and Death Kind: item Page: Pillow of Life and Death Formal name: Pillow of Life and Death Type: Artifact First appearance: Marvel Mystery Comics Vol 1 45 Created by: Gus Hetman Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Shangri-La, Tibet Current owner: Leme-Tel Previous owners: Vision Notes: The fact that the Pillow was in the possession of the Vision is in direct contradiction to accounts of his first appearance on Earth. Explanations are not forthcoming. History: The origins of the Pillow of Life and Death are unknown; it was created centuries ago in the secret kingdom of Shangri-La in the mountains of Tibet. It had the power of life and death. It could heal, restore life, as well as kill. At a touch, those worthy would be healed of mortal wounds or even granted eternal life. Those who were filled with evil would only find death, being completely disintegrated by merely touching the object. The Pillow would also destroy objects that were created for evil purposes that touched it as well.; The pillow was guarded over by the various rulers of Shangri-La including the Vision. In the summer of 1943, Imperial Japanese agents sought to obtain the secrets of eternal life from the pillow for their leader Emperor Hirohito. However, they only found death when they came to take it and were stopped by the Vision who also used to the pillow to restore to life its current keeper Leme-Tel, telling the aging master that he will live until he found a worthy successor for the pillow.; Its subsequent fate is unknown. ============================================================ Perpetual Holographic Avatar / NanoTech Offensive Monsters (Earth-71002) Kind: item Page: Perpetual Holographic Avatar / NanoTech Offensive Monsters Formal name: Perpetual Holographic Avatar / NanoTech Offensive Monsters Type: Drone First appearance: Spider-Man: Friend or Foe Created by: Brian Reed Reality: Earth-71002 Lead designer: Mysterio Previous owners: Mysterio History: P.H.A.N.T.O.M.S. (Perpetual Holographic Avatar / NanoTech Offensive Monsters) are creatures created by Mysterio. They are a combination of solid light holographic technology with the symbiote substance Mysterio found in one of the meteorite shards that landed on Earth. There are four sizes of PHANTOMS in each area of the game.; ==Tokyo, Japan==; The symbiote index of the PHANTOMS are at 5% at maximum.; ===Recon Drone===; Game description: This is the earliest form of a PHANTOM prototype. Its small size makes its hard-light core very unstable and prone to overload. This flaw can be used as a convenient grenade in the heat of battle.; ===Infantry Unit===; Game description: Filling out the ranks of the basic PHANTOM prototype army is the Infantry Unit. Although dangerous in large numbers, this model's self-preservation logic takes over when threatened with large attacks.; ===Shock Trooper===; Game description: This early PHANTOM prototype lacks the complexity of later models. Although it is heavily armed with multiple plasma cannons, a simple Web Line Trip can send it into a clumsy trigger-happy frenzy.; ===Unit Commander===; Game description: Before PHANTOMS gained transportation technology, this Commander would transport Drones into battle. A design flaw in the model causes it to expose its fragile hard-light core when deploying Drones.; ==Tangaroa Island==; The symbiote index of the PHANTOMS are at 9%.; ===Mystic Seeker===; Game description: The symbiote driven light-core of these advanced PHANTOM drones allow for more advanced logic. Their size still creates a very unstable and explosive internal energy source.; ===Tribal Hunter===; Game description: A higher symbiote index gives this PHANTOM model a predatory hunter's instinct. When they twirl their weapon, a single well placed Web Shot will disrupt their targeting logic.; ===Tusk Berserker===; Game description: The larger symbiote index has given this PHANTOM model a nasty temper. It will sometimes lash out with huge punches or its energy ball attack. Avoiding either of these attacks will stun it for a short time.; ===Spirit Warrior===; Game description: This PHANTOM has learned that a good defense is as important as a massive club. It will use its shield to cover its face and belly but it can only cover one at a time, so pick your targets carefully.; ==Cairo, Egypt==; The symbiote index of the PHANTOMS are at around 29%.; ===Scarab Drone===; Game description: In order to adapt to its surroundings, this PHANTOM model has taken on aspects of the flying scarab beetle. It flies quickly, so wait until it stops moving and quickly grab it out of the air.; ===Darkwing Soldier===; Game description: These PHANTOMS have mastered the art of boomerang throwing. They are very agile during combat so slow them down with Web Stun. If they're tied up, they can't catch their returning weapons.; ===Sorcerer of Anubis===; Game description: A dangerous and smart PHANTOM model. These cautious beasts prefer to keep their distance and lob explosive projectiles. They can't target if they can't see you coming so Blind them before attacking.; ===Pestilence Lord===; Game description: This advanced PHANTOM model has evolved to overcome many weaknesses. While still susceptible to normal attacks, an unrelenting barrage of Web Stun will make the fight a lot easier.; ==Stokerstov, Transylvania==; The symbiote index of the PHANTOMS are at 53%.; ===Phantasm===; Game description: As recon units, these PHANTOMS have adapted to resemble ghosts and use Transylvanian superstition to their advantage. Despite their appearance they are still quite solid and very explosive.; ===Skeletal Soldier===; Game description: These PHANTOMS prefer to fight from long range, hurling their axes with deadly accuracy. If you do choose to fight them in close quarters be prepared to dodge their lightning-fast footwork.; ===Howling Berserker===; Game description: Modeled after classic horror movie design, these PHANTOMS have the look and temper of the fabled werewolf. Fight them carefully as they will attack with unmatched ferocity before having to rest.; ===Ghost Summoner===; Game description: Filling the role of an armored guard, these PHANTOMS will summon Phantasms into the battle. While they are summoning, they will expose their fragile power center, so be ready to attack.; ==Annapurna Nepal==; The symbiote index of the PHANTOMS in the area are above 50% and increasing.; ===Symbiote Drone===; Game description: Though still technically a hard-light hologram, these PHANTOMS contain so much symbiote energy that they are almost perfect copies of Venom's personality. Finish them quickly.; ===Symbiote Stalker===; Game description: Sharing the symbiote energy that runs their hard-light cores has given these PHANTOMS a mob-like personality. They will attack in groups and attempt to swarm targets. Stay mobile and fight hard.; ===Symbiote Bomber===; Game description: These larger symbiote PHANTOMS have adapted more of the sadistic aspect of Venom's personality. They prefer to stay back from combat and pepper the battlefield with explosive symbiote bombs.; ===Symbiote Warrior===; Game description: The pinnacle of symbiote powered hard-light technology. These PHANTOMS have adapted the symbiotic shape shifting powers to create weapons and armor. Time your strikes carefully and be ready to dodge.; ==PHANTOM Types==; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Recon Drone from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Recon Drone; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Infantry Unit from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Infantry Unit; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Shock Trooper from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Shock Trooper; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Unit Commander from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Unit Commander; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Mystic Seeker from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Mystic Seeker; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Tribal Hunter from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Tribal Hunter; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Tusk Berserker from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Tusk Berserker; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Spirit Warrior from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Spirit Warrior; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Scarab Drone from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Scarab Drone; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Darkwing Soldier from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Darkwing Soldier; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Sorcerer of Anubis from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Sorcerer of Anubis; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Pestilence Lord from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Pestilence Lord; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Phantasm from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Phantasm; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Skeletal Soldier from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Skeletal Soldier; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Howling Berserker from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Howling Berserker; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Ghost Summoner from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Ghost Summoner; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Symbiote Drone from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Symbiote Drone; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Symbiote Stalker from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Symbiote Stalker; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Symbiote Bomber from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Symbiote Bomber; Perpetual Holographic Avatar NanoTech Offensive Monsters Symbiote Warrior from Spider-Man Friend or Foe 001.jpg|Symbiote Warrior ============================================================ Persuader Robot Kind: item Page: Persuader Robot Formal name: Persuader Type: Robot First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 254 Created by: Bob Layton; John Romita, Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Maggia History: The Maggia criminal organization had one of these robots to protect its warehouse in Los Angeles. When they were attacked by Iron Man, they released this impressive robot against him. Iron Man destroyed it before it could even use its weapons. ============================================================ Phoenix Bullet (Earth-10964) Kind: item Page: Phoenix Bullet Formal name: Phoenix Bullet Type: Bullet First appearance: Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine Vol 1 2 Created by: Jason Aaron; Adam Kubert Reality: Earth-10964 Lead designer: Beast Future version Current owner: None Previous owners: Wolverine; Spider-Man History: Beast/Dr. Henry McCoy from the future created a bullet in which he contained the Phoenix Force. ============================================================ Phoenix Gun (Earth-10964) Kind: item Page: Phoenix Gun Formal name: Phoenix Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine Vol 1 2 Created by: Jason Aaron; Adam Kubert Reality: Earth-10964 Lead designer: Beast Previous owners: Wolverine; Spider-Man Alternate owners: Dark Phoenix History: A gun created by Beast that can fire the Phoenix Force as a bullet.

The adhesive dries instantly, can adhere to nearly any surface, and is virtually unbreakable, flameproof, and vulnerable only to ultraviolet light. He is so accomplished with the use of his gun that he can trap an opponent's limb, jam machinery, build restraining walls, and form paste “lassos.” He could even retract the stream of glue, a technique which helped him to form a swing-line much like Spider-Man.; ===Related Technology===; As the Trapster, Petruski continued the use of his paste-gun and expanded his repertoire with special traps (some developed in collaboration with the Wizard.) He changes the variety of traps according to his mission, but past examples include scatter-shot balls and discs (that can rebound and snap on his opponents limbs) and a “memory wire” (that can assume pre-planned shapes such as a cage or a weapon). The Trapster's boots and gloves have also been outfitted with adhesive systems so that he can walk up certain vertical or upside-down surfaces. Much later, he would incorporate the paste-gun into wrist-mounted shooters with the adhesive supply on tank strapped to the back of his costume. From the wrist shooters, he could also fire spring-loaded spheres containing traps of his own design or fire a specially-designed solvent. The solvent can instantly dissolve his unique glue as well as be used as a grease gun to lubricate surfaces and reduce traction. ============================================================ Panther's Teeth Kind: item Page: Panther's Teeth Formal name: Panther's Teeth Type: Weapon First appearance: Black Panther Vol 4 1 Created by: Reginald Hudlin; John Romita Jr Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Wakandan Lead designer: Wakandans Place of creation: Wakanda History: The Panther's Teeth were booby traps composed of a button and two racks of wooden spikes. When a victim steps on the button, the two racks close on each other, stabbing the victim from two sides.; By the 5th century, a tribe of African warriors and conquerors came to Wakanda, following a path of victory. There, they were all slain, two by the Panther's Teeth, and the rest by the Wakandan crossbows. Only one survived, in order to tell about what happened, as the Wakandans always do. ============================================================ Phlogistone Kind: item Page: Phlogistone Formal name: Phlogistone Other aliases: Moon-Metal; Moon Mercury Type: Material First appearance: Iron Man: Fatal Frontier Infinite Comic Vol 1 1 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Al Ewing; Lan Medina; Carmine Di Giandomenico Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Element created by the reaction of Moon's ore to different types of energies. Place of creation: Moon Place of destruction: Moon Trivia: Phlogistone is likely named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlogiston_theory phlogiston], a chemical that was once believed to have been released during combustion prior to the discovery of oxygen. Its existence was eventually debunked by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine-Laurent_Lavoisier Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier]. The name may also come from phlogiston's origin word "phlogistós," Greek for inflammable, in reference to Phlogistone's flaming red appearance. History: The element known as Phlogistone is a powerful source of renewable clean energy created from the reaction of the Moon's ore with numerous different types of energies, including cosmic radiation,M'kraan Crystal energies, Phoenix Force radiation, the Beyonder's energy, the manifestation of the Infinity Stones, and the White Event.; Not long after the White Event, the Phlogistone started manifesting in the surface of the Moon. The robot Udarnik found it and discovered it was a powerful source of energy, with which he created his Lunar fortress, the "Crimson Dynamo." With the Phlogistone, Udarnik empowered weaponry he used to attack the Earth in order to draw the attention of humanity.; When Iron Man investigated the attacks coming from Earth's satellite, he met Udarnik, with who he came to terms after being attacked. Udarnik showed Stark the power of the Phlogistone, at the same time he broadcasted to Earth the existence of this powerful material. Humanity returned to the Moon and created a colony, from which investigations about Phlogistone and plans for extracting it begun.; Tony Stark, who had become the governor of the Moon, discovered that prolongued exposure to Phlogistone caused degenerative effects to the brain, including megalomania, obsession, psychosis, hallucinations, and eventually death.; Following this discovery, Stark planned to stop this material from reaching Earth by destroying it, for which he acquired the maps of all the Phlogistone deposits from Cortex Inc., one of the main mayor players in the search for this material, by breaking into their databank, a process which also helped him to plant evidence against Eli Warren, another contender for Phlogistone, to make him be kicked out of the Moon, possibly having actually succumbed to the obsession for Phlogistone and megalomaniac tendencies caused by the exposure to it.; From the Doctor Doom of an alternate future who arrived to the present in order to empower himself with Phlogistone, Stark acquired a device which allowed to extract the Phlogistone's energies (which poisoned the brain) and render it simple iron. Before Stark could add the device to his armor in order to render the Phlogistone which was poisoning him inert, Udarnik captured him, as he had discovered Stark's plans to render Phlogistone useless.; Tony escaped captivity and reached the device, but he was intercepted by Udarnik. Stark managed to convince Udarnik he had to render the Phlogistone inert, but just in case, he heavily damaged Udarnik's body to prevent any interference.

She then entered the Bus and planted a computer virus in its systems. She asked Coulson to accompany her to the hotel room. However Coulson was able to deduce that the person he was with was not Agent May. As May managed to get free, she fought against her impostor, stunning her by zapping her holographic mask with an exposed wire that Bakshi had attempted to torture her with. This caused the veil to malfunction and fuse with Agent 33's face, also leaving her with severe burn scars on a face that was largely that of Agent May. Her voice was similarly trapped in an unnatural state sounding audibly distorted when she spoke. ============================================================ Phoenix Egg Kind: item Page: Phoenix Egg Formal name: Phoenix Egg Type: Egg First appearance: New X-Men Vol 1 150 Created by: Grant Morrison; Phil Jimenez Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Phoenix Force Place of creation: White Hot Room Previous owners: Cyclops; Terrax the Tamer; Thane Alternate owners: Beast; Proud People History: Every time it is destroyed, the Phoenix Force is always reborn within a Phoenix Egg.

Once activated, the machine broadcasts a stream of nuclear neutralization particles to the upper atmosphere. Those would detect and home in the energy emitted by radioactive materials such as those used in nuclear weapons, medicine, industry and scientific research and immediately neutralize them, leaving them inert. The neutralizing particles can go throughout almost any wall, device or force field used to protect the radioactive materials.; The device itself was a 30' tall metal cylinder with many cables, light, machinery and pipes so it was built in the former public address tower of Castle Doom, Latveria. It also required a great amount of rare elements, which were consumed throughout the process, and very specific weather conditions that only had a 10% chance of happening yearly, and that were to be predicted several months in advance. Doom had a very complex system weather satellites to predict this. Lastly, the Projector required one full day of use to spread the particles throughout the world; and the effect could be stopped by switching off the Projector during that time. The technology was so advanced that Doom theorized only Reed Richards could comprehend and replicate it, but Richards would never have the nerve to use it due to its moral implciations.; When the Projector was activated, it generated a huge power-pillar of glowing particles as a column of light releasing to the atmosphere. This attracted the attention of travelling American superheroes Cloak and Dagger and their fellow traveller William Clayton, who investigated it. Detecting their presence and power, Doom invited them to his Castle throughout the local Magistrate; he asked them about their business in Europe -which was not related to Doom- and, concluding they were not a problem, he explained the Projector and offered them accomodations.; Clayton later convinced Cloak and Dagger to oppose Doom, because Doom's actions would negatively affect many innocent lives. Cloak and Dagger confronted Doom at his control room; Doom tried to convince them and refused to attack until he was attacked. Cloak and Dagger's powers were uneffective against Doom, even when Cloak tried to retain Doom in his Darkforce dimension; when Doom counterattacked, they fled by teleporting to the Projector's tower. Doom sent a horde of Roboid Drones to track them, in vain.; Cloak and Dagger's powers were also uneffective to destroy the Projector. Cloak then used a ruse: He once again imprisoned Doom within his Darkforce Dimension, and released him just when he was shooting energy blasts from his gauntlets, and placing him in front of the Projector. Doom's blasts destroyed the machine, causing a huge explosion.; Cloak, Dagger and Clayton escaped by teleporting, with the later theorizing that, should Doom tried something like this again, probably Reed Richards would develop some countermeasure to it. ============================================================ Parker Brothers Kind: item Page: Parker Brothers Formal name: Parker Brothers Type: Robot First appearance: Spider-Man/Deadpool Vol 1 15 Created by: Joshua Corin; Scott Koblish Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Parker Industries Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City, New York Place of destruction: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City, New York Notes: The Parker Brothers share name with an American toy manufacturer of the same name who created Rom the Spaceknight.

As punishment, the gods banished Wukong from Ta-Lo and placed him under a mountain for a thousand years while replacing him with a stone guardian to protect the Immortal Peach Orchard.; A 12-year old Shang-Chi heard of the legend surrounding the peaches and sought them out when his father's powers were fading. Shang-Chi was joined in his quest by his half-brother Lu and Guan Yin instructed the two on how to travel to the orchard. They were followed by Uncle Rat, who was able to steal and eat one of the peaches while they were exhausted from defeating the stone guardian. Despite the power granted to him by the peach, Uncle Rat was defeated by his brothers. The commotion woke up the custodian Zhu Bajie, who decided to punish Uncle Rat for the theft by making him the new guardian of the orchard and left the two boys alone after finding out Guan Yin had sent them. Shang-Chi decided that his father did not deserve a peach for how he treated his other children and left the orchard empty handed with Lu. ============================================================ Paste Cannon Kind: item Page: Paste Cannon Formal name: Paste Cannon Type: Cannon First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 104 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Peter Petruski History: The Paste Cannon was a cannon that shot Paste-Pot Pete's paste.

Generator Formal name: P.R.I.D.E. Generator Type: Generator First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 142 Created by: David Michelinie; Greg LaRocque Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Eric Paulson Additional designers: William Lorber Place of creation: Paulson Foundation Previous owners: Eric Paulson, Elysian History: The P.R.I.D.E. Generator was a device created at the Paulson Foundation by Eric Paulson and William Lorber for the P.R.I.D.E. project with the goal of expelling significant portions of the human population to different dimensions. The generator was seemingly destroyed by Spider-Man and Captain Marvel but this caused Captain Marvel to be incapable of returning from her energy form back to her human form. They determined that the generator had not actually been destroyed but had instead been transported to a different dimension. Spider-Man and Starfox were able to use an older version of the generator to teleport to the dimension where the generator was located. They convinced a tribe of female warriors who had been using the generator as a defenseive shield to neautralize their enemies so that they could destroy the generator. After defeating the opposing tribe’s warrior, they destroyed the generator and returned to their dimension were Captain Marvel was once again able to shift between her human and energy forms at will. ============================================================ Painter's Paints and Brushes Kind: item Page: Painter's Paints and Brushes Formal name: Painter's Paints and Brushes Type: Paintbrushes First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 108 Created by: Robert Bernstein; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Unknown alien origin Place of destruction: New York Previous owners: Painter History: Painter's Paints and Brushes were a set of seemingly magical paints and brushes of extra-terrestrial orbiting that the Painter discovered in a cave. He discovered that the brushes allowed the painter who wielded them to pain pictures at incredible speed and the paints would manifest the paintings into existence. He ultimately used these to help Scar Tobin and his gang commit various robberies and attempted to use them to subdue the Human Torch but failed when Johnny learned of his secret and used the paints to create a fake version of himself to convince the Painter of his demise before reappearing and torching the paints and brushes. ============================================================ Paralysis Ray Gun Kind: item Page: Paralysis Ray Gun Formal name: Paralysis Ray Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 13 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Mister Fantastic Place of creation: The Moon Previous owners: Mister Fantastic History: The Paralysis Ray Gun was a gun built by Mister Fantastic using equipment from the abandoned city in the Blue Area of the Moon during the Fantastic Four's battle with the Red Ghost. He used the gun to paralyze the Red Ghost and it was afterward picked up by his ape Miklho and pointed at him to the Red Ghost's surprise. ============================================================ Pendant of Kukulcán Kind: item Page: Pendant of Kukulcán Formal name: Pendant of Kukulkán Type: Magical item First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 25 Created by: Roy Thomas; Werner Roth Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: El Tigre (Juan Meroz) History: The Sacred Pendant of Kukulcán was an enchanted amulet with a centerpiece that had been carved from a magic stone. The stone itself had at some point been cut into two halves, each having the same shape, but whether the stone had always existed as two pieces or this was done to it later has not been revealed. Possession of just one of the halves endowed the wearer with the mental powers of telepathy and telekinesis, as well as giving them a sixth sense that warned of danger, the ability to read Mayan hieroglyphs, and the ability to sense where the other half was located. If both halves were joined together to form the complete amulet, it bestowed upon the wearer the attributes of the Maya god Kukulkán himself, effectively transforming him into someone who, although aware of his previous mortal identity, now thought of himself as being a reincarnation (or an avatar) of that god. Aside from transforming the pendant-wearer's body and his clothing, greatly increasing the mental powers he had already gained, and endowing him with new powers, including a super-human level of strength, the ability to fire solar blasts of heat and light from his hands and the power create a "solar sphere" which could transport him through the air at incredible speed, the amulet also instilled within Kukulcán the desire to restore the ancient Maya Empire and then to conquer the world.; Although the pendant is known to be centuries old, its exact origins have never been revealed. According to legend, misuse of the pendant's divine powers once resulted in a holocaust of violent upheaval during which a Maya city was showered with tons of molten lava, as if from a volcanic eruption. It was presumably at some point after that holocaust occurred that the two halves of the pendant were separated. One of the halves was part of the legendary lost treasure known as the "sacred gold of Kukulcán" that was buried close to the Pyramid of Kukulcán in what is now the Central American nation of Santo Rico. The other half of the pendant, the half to which the stone's setting was attached, was discovered by archaeologists and eventually taken to New York City in the United States of America where it ended up on display in the Pre-Colombian wing of the City Museum, labelled as a "Mayan" amulet from Central America, ca. 500 A.D.; In the Modern Age, after years of searching, Juan Meroz, a gem-hunter known as "El Tigre," finally located the hidden Pyramid of Kukulcán in the jungles of Santo Rico. With his two underlings, El Tigre dug up the treasure and, while inspecting it, El Tigre found the half-pendant after it fell out of a golden goblet. Unable to identify the substance from which the glowing stone had been cared, El Tigre put it in his breast pocket to examine later. That night, as the result of an attempt by his underlings to overpower him, El Tigre discovered that he now possessed a sixth sense and the mental power of telekinesis, and that he could now read the Mayan hieroglyphs inscribed on the base of the pyramid. From them, El Tigre learned about the Sacred Pendant of Kukulcán and that he who possessed both halves of the pendant would enjoy power without limit if he survived its dread curse. Determined to find the other half of the pendant and acquire the full might of the god Kukulcán, El Tigre allowed the pendant to guide him to New York City and then to the City Museum where he found the other half-pendant. As soon as he had fitted the two halves together and hung the pendant around his neck, it released a burst of blinding light as El Tigre was transformed into a golden-skinned being who declared himself to be the reincarnation of the mighty god Kukulcán!; After using his new powers to create a Solar Sphere that transported him back to where he had found the first half of the pendant, Kukulcán used his powers to clear the overgrowth from the Feathered Serpent idol whose Solar Stone absorbed the rays of the Sun and transmitted that energy to the pendant. Then, after clearing the pyramid complex of plantlife as well, Kukulcán sent out a mental call that placed anybody nearby who was of Maya descent under his hypnotic control and made them the obedient subjects of his soon-to-be-restored Maya kingdom. However, Kukulcán was opposed by the mutant X-Men, some of whom deduced that the Solar Stone was his power source, and his attempt to stop them from interfering only succeeded in causing an earthquake which opened a fissure beneath idol, swallowing both it and the Solar Stone. Now cut off from the energy that it needed, the pendant was no longer able to maintain and power the avatar of Kukulcán who turned back into the powerless El Tigre. The Beast took custody of the now-inert pendant. ============================================================ Parallax Kind: item Page: Parallax Formal name: Parallax Type: Glaive First appearance: Force Works Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Abnett; Andy Lanning; Tom Tenney Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Alien Technology Lead designer: Hodomurians Current owner: Century Properties: Parallax was capable of tearing the spatial fabric allowing its owner, and with greater effort also those in its vicinity, teleportation for long or short distances even for sidereal distances History: Parallax was the weapon of the Century.

The potion can then be administered to heal wounds. Trivia: Translated from Latin into English, the incantation "vulnus ab aqua curare" means "wound, be healed from the water". History: When "Teen" was badly wounded in the second trial of The Witches' Road, Agatha begged her coven for help. With some prodding, Jennifer Kale was able to create her panacea with an incarnation over water bathed in moonlight to quickly heal "Teen" wound. When Alice died during the third trial, "Teen" begged Jennifer to help with her panacea, but it cannot be used to heal or resurrect the dead.; When Agatha faced Death after escaping The Witches' Road, she attempted to cast Jennifer's spell to heal her wounds. ============================================================ Phoenix Cage Kind: item Page: Phoenix Cage Formal name: Phoenix Cage Type: Technology First appearance: Secret Avengers Vol 1 26 Created by: Rick Remender; Renato Guedes Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Henry McCoy (Earth-616) Additional designers: Brian Braddock (Earth-616) Previous owners: Secret Avengers Properties: Phoenix Cage was an apparatus built by the Beast in collaboration with Captain Britain, which was supposed to imprison the Phoenix Force inside it after it was sucked into it. History: There were two attempts to suck the Phoenix Force inside the Phoenix Cage, one by War Machine to whom the Beast had adapted the armor in order to be able to approach the Phoenix, but although at first it seemed to be successful, when the Phoenix pushed the attack, War Machine's armor was damaged and James severely injured, so Captain Britain tried, but since the Phoenix Cage was calibrated to the power supply of the War Machine Armor, his attempt also failed, destroying the Cage itself. ============================================================ Perception's Veil Kind: item Page: Perception's Veil Formal name: Perception's Veil Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange of Asgard Vol 1 4 Created by: Derek Landy Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange History: When Doctor Strange was investigating Hulda's murder he ran into a conflict with Thor and Sif. Although Strange witnessed Loki kill Hulda, he was able to confirm that Loki was not the killer. Strange had buried Hulda underneath the roots of Yggdrasil which Sif was later able to determine since she had inherited Heimdall's sight. Strange didn't want to create a bigger rift between Thor and Loki so he chose to run from Thor and Sif by teleporting away. However, Sif's sight kept catching up to him every time he teleported so he decided to cast Perception's Veil. After doing so, Sif was no longer able to find him. ============================================================ Pilgrimage Shroud Kind: item Page: Pilgrimage Shroud Formal name: Pilgrimage Shroud Type: Cloak First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 7 450 Created by: Derek Landy; Ivan Fiorelli Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magic Current owner: Doctor Stephen Strange History: The cloak needs to be bonded to Stephen at all times, so when not physically on him, it glides around bound to a sliver of his soul. ============================================================ Power Prism Kind: item Page: Power Prism Formal name: Doctor Spectrum's Power Prism Other aliases: Krimonn; Rainbow Gem; Skrullian Power Prism Type: Jewel First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 69 Created by: Roy Thomas; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Skrulls Additional designers: Grandmaster Place of creation: Tarnax IV; Andromeda Galaxy History: The original prism, used by Kinji Obatu aka Doctor Spectrum, was a sentient being called Krimonn. Krimonn revealed that he had previously been a Skrull, who was transformed into a living prism as punishment after failing to usurp the Skrull Emperor. When the Grandmaster required champions to battle the Avengers, he retrieved the prism and granted Krimonn several energy-based powers that could be used in conjunction with a host. Kinji Obatu was the first to coin the term "Power Prism", and discovered that, although trapped in prism form, Krimonn remained aggressive and asserted his will via telepathy. Krimonn's mind was "muted" by Nebulon when the Power Prism was given to Billy Roberts, although Krimonn reasserted itself during the quest to find and bond with Thor. When the plan failed and the gem was shattered, Krimonn's consciousness apparently dissipated forever.; Another Doctor Spectrum, Martha Gomes, was encountered by the Thunderbolts. According to her account, she simply woke up with the Prism. Giving the re-emergence of the Squadron Sinister, it was likely this was another plot of the Grandmaster. The prism was later stolen from Martha by Dr. Alice Nugent who became the new Doctor Spectrum and officially joined the Grandmaster's new Squadron Sinister.; A Power Prism later appeared in the possession of Joseph Ledger, a construct created by Mephisto on behalf of Phil Coulson to serve the Squadron Supreme of America. In Ledger's fabricated backstory, he was an astronaut who stumbled into the Power Prism during a space walk. The true origins of this Power Prism, or if it was created in conjunction with Mephisto's construct, are unknown.; ==Properties==; The Power Prism bestows on a host the ability to project and manipulate energy; create energy constructs of various shapes and sizes; flight; protection from the rigors of space and in the case of the original Doctor Spectrum, Kinji Obatu, the ability to become intangible. The Power Prism has one weakness: being vulnerable to ultra-violet light.; == Alternate Realities ==; === Squadron Supreme (Earth-712) ===; The Earth-712 Doctor Spectrum aka Joseph Ledger gains his power from tiny fragments of the Skrullian Power Prism, given to him by the Skrullian Skymaster, which have bonded to his skin and embedded within his body. When the Power Prism exploded, his skin, hair, and costume were bleached chalk-white. The Earth-712 Power Prism is identical to the Earth-616 version in terms of strengths and weaknesses. The Power Prism was a crystal apparently of Skrull construction. It was able to manipulate a form of multi-colored light energy depending on the user's willpower.; === Squadron Supreme (Earth-31916) ===; The Earth-31916 Power Prism is a sentient power source removed from the spacecraft that brings Hyperion to Earth. A soldier Joseph Ledger was given the Power Prism but the power overloaded him putting him in a coma. Awakening years later he became a government sanctioned hero Doctor Spectrum.; ===Marvel's Avengers Assemble (Earth-12041)===; In this version the Prism is a living creature that feeds on emotions and can bring the fears and guilt of others to reality. The Squadron Supreme forced Doctor Spectrum to destroy their homeworld and become a member of the Squadron since. In Spectrums, it's mentioned that Ant Man built Doc Spectrum a power amplifier to control the Prism's power. When it's broken the spectrum brings the fears of Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor and after facing their fears they free Bill from the Prism's control. The prism goes off to Nighthawk and becomes the new Doctor Spectrum, a being of pure energy. In the final battle against the Squadron, Cap used Ant-Man's power amplifier to control the prism and use its power to turn the wavelength of Earth's Sun blue, as to weaken Hyperion.; ===Great Society (Earth-4290001)===; On this Earth, the Power Prism was recovered from under the sea by an oceanographer named Nenet. Based on later investigations, it was tentatively linked to this universe's Kree, who were a reclusive race of wizards. ============================================================ Plandanium Kind: item Page: Plandanium Formal name: Plandanium Type: Material First appearance: Rom Vol 1 1 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Jim Shooter; Sal Buscema; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Galadorian Place of creation: Galador Material: Plandanium Notes: In IDW's Hasbro shared universe, the Space Knight armors are instead made of [https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ore-12 Ore-12]. This was both due to Marvel retaining the rights to Plandanium and to connect Rom to the Transformers. History: Plandanium is the metal used by Galadorians to create the Spaceknights' armor and weaponry. ============================================================ Power Cosmic Kind: item Page: Power Cosmic Formal name: Power Cosmic Other aliases: Soul of Galactus Type: Energy First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 48 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Primordial Force Additional designers: Norrin Radd, Dawn Greenwood Current owner: Galactus, Silver Surfer; Firelord; Stardust; Nova; Praeter; Death; Ardina; Hiro-Kala; Sequoia; Scout Previous owners: Omnimax; Carlo Zota; Thor; Red Hulk; Doctor Doom; Human Torch; Terrax; Morg; Air-Walker; Air-Walker (Automaton); Red Shift; Dazzler; Korvac; Shalla-Bal; High Evolutionary; Suzi Endo; Kl'rt (Heroes Reborn); Plasma; Superman Alternate owners: Franklin Richards (Earth-828); Godzilla (Earth-Unknown); King Ghidorah Properties: Galactus can employ the available Power Cosmic within him to produce nearly any effect he desires, including but not limited to energy absorption and projection, size alteration, the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter, the teleportation of objects up to entire galaxies across space and time and the creation of interdimensional portals, the creation of force fields, telepathy, telekinesis, and cosmic awareness on a universal scale. Galactus has even been shown as capable of creating sentient life, resurrecting the dead, manipulating mortal souls and remaking dead worlds—including their populations—in every detail.; As shown during the Annihilation War, the Power Cosmic replaces the "aura" or soul of its wielders, meaning wielders of the Power Cosmic have no souls of their own. As a result, no two wielders of the Power Cosmic are the same, with the wielder's very physical form having adapted to the function of controlling and storing the Power Cosmic.; The Power Cosmic is what makes the mortal Galan of Taa become Galactus. Should Galactus lose the Power Cosmic, he reverts back to his mortal form. Additionally, if Galactus' Power Cosmic is absorbed by someone else, on a small scale, it results in a Herald, but on a large scale, that new recipient becomes a new Galactus-like being. After being depowered, Galan has referred his dislodged Power Cosmic as the "Soul of Galactus."; The Power Cosmic could be cancelled out by the Zero Energy since it predated the universe. The Power Cosmic is similar to the Power Primordial, and Galacta could not tell the difference. Wielding the Power Cosmic is apparently similar to wielding the energy of a Celestial.; ===Wielded by the Heralds of Galactus===; Most of the Heralds of Galactus, including the Silver Surfer, possess certain measures of the Power Cosmic bestowed on them by Galactus during their service to him. Their abilities and degrees of influence vary, but the power can usually be expelled violently as concussive force, and sometimes used with precision to restructure molecules. A Herald's power is however only a fraction of that possessed by Galactus, and Galactus can strip them of that power on his own whim.; The Silver Surfer has the ability to absorb and tap ambient cosmic energy into his body at will, and expel those energies violently or more subtly. He can channel beams of energy through his hands with sufficient destructive force to destroy a planet, or wield the energies with such finesse as to restructure the molecules of the natural dyes within a plant to change its color. The Surfer can rearrange matter to create other configurations and can even transmute elements (such as turning a steel napkin holder into solid gold or tons of rock into harmless gas). Other uses of the Power Cosmic have included the ability to phase through objects; accelerate the evolution of life forms (even on a planet-wide scale); see the past by peeling back the layers of time; time travel; trans-dimensional travel; the manipulation, absorption and discharge of any form of energy or radiation; and, granting limited cosmic powers to others. The Silver Surfer also possess the ability to negate or suppress the powers of other mutants/beings making them temporarily (potentially permanently) unable to use them. The Power Cosmic allows Silver Surfer to teleport through hyperspace; the distances he can teleport is almost limitless. The Silver Surfer has full mental and physical control over his Power Cosmic, which is why it cannot be taken by siphoning mutants. An occurrence had taken place where the Living Tribunal had shown a vision of how Zenn-La once was, enraged by this, the Silver Surfer had granted upon himself almost to a "godlike" state which had given him infinite power cosmic. Before the Surfer could do anything, the Living Tribunal had gone. However, Galactus remained in a state of confusion, as he did not know at the time who could possibly have strength and power even greater than his own.; ===Cosmic Awareness===; Wielders of the Power Cosmic can become "one with the universe" through a degree of concentration, allowing them to "know almost everything", including the weaknesses in objects and opponents, events occurring on the opposite side of the galaxy, and even precognition of coming danger. The larger or closer the event, the less concentration is needed to see it. The "near-infinite" knowledge afforded by the Power Cosmic can also be difficult for some to handle.; ===Connection to cosmic rays===; Reed Richards identified the Power Cosmic as a form of cosmic radiation, but "more raw" than the less powerful cosmic rays that afforded him and the rest of the Fantastic Four their powers. However, less powerful cosmic rays can be converted into the Power Cosmic through the use of Anti-Yellow Quarks. When the Human Torch uses his Nova-Blast, his cosmic ray-borne powers can also briefly reach the power levels of the Power Cosmic, surpassing the "knock-off" Power Cosmic given to Victorious by Doctor Doom.; In Galactus' origin, he was bombarded with cosmic rays, and Johnny Storm has even commented how incredibly similar Galactus' origin is to that of the FF. Notes: The Negative Zoner Ravenous wielded the "Essence" or "Opposing Force" produced by the Currs which he used to hunt down Galactus' heralds. He claimed that it was the Negative Zone's equivalent to the Power Cosmic.; Dynamus, the ruler of the world contained within the Power Stone called the Arena, claimed to be the embodiment of the Power Cosmic, but it isn't elaborated. Trivia: Galactus and the Silver Surfer have demonstrated that they could intentionally expel or draw in their Power Cosmic, rendering themselves mortal temporarily. For the Silver Surfer, Dawn Greenwood calls this process "Silver[ing] Down," as Norrin loses his silver form.; In Earth-2149, its zombies gained the Power Cosmic by eating Galactus and the Silver Surfer. History: ===Devourers of Worlds===; In previous multiversal cycles, the Power Cosmic was wielded by previous Devourers of Worlds. In the Sixth Cosmos, the Devourer was Omnimax, and he bestowed his Power Cosmic to heralds. In the Seventh/Eighth Cosmos, the Devourer Galactus similarily imbued his Power Cosmic to many beings that served as his herald.; ===Old Power===; Ten thousand years ago, the Shadow People created an artificial version of the Power Cosmic, the Old Power. They originally sought to use it in conquering the universe, but it was too unstable and destructive, forcing the Shadow People to go to different planets to seed them with the Old Power in order to undo the damage it had caused. Only a select few could channel the Old Power, becoming known as the Oldstrongs. Hiro-Kala would later combine the Power Cosmic and the Old Power to create the New Power which simply combined all of the attributes of both. ============================================================ Power Stone Kind: item Page: Power Stone Formal name: Power Stone Other aliases: Gem of Power; Power Gem; S.H.I.E.L.D. catalog number 9013-B Type: Infinity Stone First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 55 Created by: Bill Mantlo; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616; Earth-1610; Earth-12041; Earth-199999 Origin: Magical; Stone Current owner: Earth-616: Apex Earth-199999: None Properties: The Power Stone gives its owner access to all power and energy that ever has or will exist and can back the other gems and boost their effects. Its most basic powers grant its user unlimited stamina and can increase the user's strength to unlimited levels depending on how much the gem is drawn upon. It allows the user to duplicate practically any physical superhuman ability and become invincible. It can also be used as an unlimited power supply for any machine.; Following the destruction and rebirth of the Infinity Stones, the artifacts formed a feedback circuit. Because of this, how much of the Power Stone's potential somebody can tap depends on their mastery over mind, meaning that possession of the Mind Stone allows for a better use of the Power Stone. In turn, possession of the Power Stone allows for better control of the Space Stone. History: One of six Infinity Gems that grant its user control over specific aspects of reality. According to the most commonly accepted origin story, the six gems were once part of an all-powerful being who committed suicide out of loneliness. Its power survived and manifested as six gems.; ===Soul Gems===; For a long time, knowledge of the true nature of the Gems was unknown and the six were known collectively as "Soul Gems", with much of their powers unrealized by their users. At one point, the Stranger obtained the one that would eventually be identified as the Power Gem and upon realizing that it was part of a set, was compelled to seek out and obtain the others. His quest brought him to Earth's Moon, where he had the opportunity to take two other Gems from Warlock and the Gardener, but they fended him off.; The Stranger shortly thereafter lost his Gem to Thanos, who stole it in a moment when it was left unattended. Thanos combined the Gem with four others and siphoned energies from the sixth to create a giant synthetic Gem with the intent of destroying the stars of the universe with its absolute power. The combined efforts of Warlock, Captain Marvel, and the Avengers thwarted Thanos' plan and destroyed the combined Gem.; For a time, the five combined Gems were thought to be destroyed, but a conclave of the Elders of the Universe eventually learned that they could not be truly destroyed in such a manner and that they were actually scattered across the universe. Having a plan to use the Gems to further their ambitions, the Elders set out to gather them together again. Of these, only the Mind Gem's circumstances were specified, having come into possession of the Kree. The Champion won one of the other Gems as the World Trophy of Grinx, the Collector collected one, and the Trader purchased the other two. It's unclear which of these was the Power Gem at the time. The Elders eventually succeeded in gathering all six Gems together and connected them into a space platform aligned with a star system with six desolate planets the Gems could resonate with, setting up a trap for Galactus. Their apparatus would steal planetary energies from Galactus, channeling them into the planets, thus killing Galactus and subsequently Eternity due to the loss of balance that Galactus maintained. The universe would end and be reborn, with only the Elders surviving due to their earlier victory over Death and as such be true Elders of the new universe as Galactus had been in theirs. Though the Elders successfully trapped Galactus, they failed to handle interference from his heralds. While the Silver Surfer blocked the ray from the Gem apparatus, Nova detonated the star at the center of the system, creating a black hole that consumed the Gems and some of the Elders, saving Galactus.; The Elders joined with the In-Betweener in a further scheme to kill Galactus, retrieving the Gems from the black hole, but they were thwarted again by the Silver Surfer. Lord Chaos and Master Order became involved and redistributed the Gems among the In-Betweener and the Elders afterwards, with the one that would soon be revealed as the Power Gem entrusted to the Champion.; ===Infinity Gauntlet===; Thanos learned of the Gems' true nature as Infinity Gems from the Infinity Well and set out to gather them once more in a quest to become a god worthy of being Death's consort. The Champion had been testing his might against the warring people of the planet Tamarata, only subconsciously tapping into the Power Gem's might. Thanos went to challenge the Champion, but avoided direct combat with him, instead manipulating the bull-headed Elder into inadvertently shattering the planet with the Gem's power. Thanos then offered to tow the Champion to another planet in exchange for the Gem, to which Champion, not realizing the Gem's true potential, begrudgingly agreed. Thanos was able to use the Power Gem's properties to enhance the other Gems, which assisted him in collecting the rest of the set.; When Thanos assembled all six Gems into his Infinity Gauntlet, he had the power and knowledge to achieve anything he desired, except he found he still didn't know what it would take for Death to return his affection. He attempted various grand gestures, eventually creating a great shrine to Death and fulfilling his promise to her to kill half the population of the universe, removing them from existence with a snap of his fingers. No matter what he did, Death continued to regard him with silent disdain. He became increasingly unstable in his frustration and when a coalition of surviving heroes came to confront him, he was compelled to attempt to entertain Death by limiting his own abilities and giving his enemies a minute chance of victory. He swore off the use of all the Gems except Power in the ensuing battle, though he defeated many of his opponents through manipulations of time, space, and reality regardless. After neutralizing them all, Thanos reclaimed full control of the Gems just in time to face an alliance of Cosmic Beings. When Death stood with the other Abstracts against him, Thanos lost his last vestige of patience and subdued them all, imprisoning them in an energy field. Upon defeating Eternity, he took their place as an abstract being one with the universe. This meant abandoning his physical body, which was still wearing the Gauntlet. Nebula, who up to that point was a helpless bystander being tortured by her grandfather for his amusement, seized the opportunity and stole the Gauntlet. She quickly used the Gauntlet to reset the timeline by 24 hours, more so to spite Thanos' accomplishments than to set things right. She lacked the experience or understanding to make full effective use of the Gems, so Adam Warlock, who had formed more of a connection to the Gems through his time within the Soul Gem, was able to hide from her and eventually separate her from the Gauntlet to claim it for himself. Pledging to be a more worthy supreme being, Warlock ended the conflict and sent everyone on their way.; ===Infinity Watch===; Warlock did not hold the Infinity Gauntlet for long before Eternity brought his case to the Living Tribunal that the young god was no more suited to hold omnipotence than Thanos. The Tribunal ruled that Warlock disperse the Gems so that no individual could misuse their combined might. Warlock decided to split the Gems among friends and allies he knew would not or could not abuse their potential. He offered the Power Gem to the already powerful Drax the Destroyer, who was suffering from reduced mental capacity at the time. Drax immediately mistook the Gem for a jelly bean and swallowed it.; Shortly after the Gems' distribution, the Man-Beast abducted Drax along with Moondragon, Gamora, and Pip, and trapped them in a machine to sap their Gems' power and create a vicious energy creature under his control called the Infinity Thrall. Warlock defeated the Man-Beast by causing the destruction of the machine, dispelling the Thrall and freeing the others. Afterwards, the five Gem-holders agreed to stick together as a team known as the Infinity Watch.; For some time, Drax tapped into the Power Gem to be the world's strongest green-skinned simple-minded powerhouse (during a period when the Hulk had much higher intelligence than usual). The Gem usually remained in his stomach, but twice he was forced to regurgitate it from a blow to the gut, first from Gamora and later from Thor. After retrieving the Gem the second time, the Infinity Watch had the Gem installed in Drax's belt instead.; The first time Drax was forced to give up the Power Gem was to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet as part of a scheme by Warlock to stop the Magus from making the universe collide with his doppelganger dimension. Ostensibly, Warlock would prepare to use the Gauntlet while Galactus took Gamora to meet with Eternity and the Living Tribunal to reverse the ruling on using the Gems in unison, but it instead turned out to be a trap to draw the Magus out of hiding. Magus stole the Infinity Gauntlet to achieve godhood just as the ruling was reversed, but he didn't realize the Reality Gem included was a fake. Without it, Magus was vulnerable to Warlock's counterattack, who wrested the supreme power with the assistance of Eternity and Infinity who represented the reality Magus lacked control over. With Magus and his threat vanquished, the Infinity Gems were returned to the Infinity Watch and Drax swallowed his again. The ban on the Gems' combination was also reinstated.; The next time Drax lost the Gem was to Thor, who had gone mad and was irrationally attacking anyone he encountered. Thor claimed the Power Gem, wearing it on his helmet, and used it to launch an assault on Asgard. The Infinity Watch redirected Thor to Thanos' hideout, where Thanos subdued the mad god by trapping him in a stasis field which allowed Odin to confront his son in his mindscape. Thor's inner self was ultimately inspired to defeat the personification of his insanity, allowing him to return to his senses in the real world. The contrite Thor then voluntarily returned the Power Gem to the Infinity Watch.; When the Infinity Watch invaded the dimension of Count Abyss to challenge the omnipotent despot, Abyss was able to defeat the Watch mostly by mystically turning the power of the Gems against their owners. Drax had his own strength negated, leaving him emaciated and immobile until Abyss was defeated. Afterwards, Drax briefly lost the Gem once more when Strange attacked the team in an attempt to steal them all. The sorcerer's shade gave up and returned the Gems upon realizing they couldn't work together.; Despite the Living Tribunal's ruling preventing the Infinity Gems' working in concert, it was apparently still possible for individual Gem holders to combine the effects of a subset to accomplish particular tasks. Notably, Drax, Warlock, and Moondragon combined the Power, Soul, and Mind Gems to enhance a psychic probe to surpass the memory blocks in Maxam's subconscious.; At a time when the Infinity Watch was facing internal turmoil over Moondragon's injuries, Gamora's departure, Maxam's betrayal, and their island base's destruction by tropical storm, all the Infinity Gems suddenly vanished from the universe without explanation. With the loss of their powers and their home, the team broke up.; ===Ultraverse===; While details are inconsistent, the cause of the Gems' disappearance was Rune of the Ultraverse, who had just been accidentally transported to Earth-616 and quickly became obsessed with the Infinity Gems upon sensing their power. He somehow first stole the Time Gem and used it to freeze time, then proceeded to take the other five Gems from their owners in the space between instants. The Living Tribunal, unaffected by time manipulation and sensing the imminent violation of his decree against the union of the Gems, brought the Silver Surfer into the frozen time and charged him with preventing it at all costs. The Surfer soon found Rune wearing the Soul Gem on his forehead and the other five arranged on his right-hand knuckles in a pattern similar to the Infinity Gauntlet. The Soul Gem's will was supplanting Rune's own and forcing him to open a rift to his home dimension. At that point, the Surfer attacked Rune, with a blast of the Power Cosmic to his hand dispersing the five Gems on it into the vortex, causing them and Rune to scatter throughout the Ultraverse and restarting the normal flow of time in Earth-616.; The Power Gem was acquired by the Tradesmen of the Godwheel, who bartered it to Lord Pumpkin in exchange for his service in capturing Necromantra for them. Pumpkin ate the Gem, giving his head a red glow and greatly empowering his flame breath. Enjoying the rush of power, Pumpkin went along with the Tradesmen's deal and defeated Necromantra, liberating his kingdom from her rule in the process. As soon as the Tradesmen left with their prisoner, Lord Pumpkin prepared to resume his rule over the land, but was suddenly visited by the undead specter of a girl he had earlier killed. She had been animated and sent by Loki, who had been keeping tabs on Pumpkin ever since betraying him to take his means of teleportation. Immune to Pumpkin's attacks, the girl walked up and plucked the Power Gem from his mouth to deliver it to Loki.; Loki, stranded in the Ultraverse, collected all six Infinity Gems but didn't have a clear goal in mind for how to use them. He wanted to eventually return to his home universe to exact revenge on his enemies, but bided his time in his adopted throne room in Vahdala while occasionally using his absolute power to commit minor acts of mischief on Earth. Meanwhile, a seventh Infinity Gem residing in the Ultraverse had also sensed the others' presence and sought to reunite with them. Possessing Sersi, another refugee from its home universe, the Ego Gem got close enough to Loki to connect with the other six, merging into a being called Nemesis, who attempted to use her creative forces to remake the two universes. Even the seven Gems together did not make a cohesive whole, however, and the Ego Gem's consciousness found itself at odds with some of the voices of the other Gems. This weakness allowed heroes of the two universes to fight back against her, and ultimately Black Knight struck a decisive blow on her crown where the Gems were stored, destroying the Ego Gem and scattering the other six in an explosion of creative force that would send everyone back where they belonged while restructuring the Ultraverse from the ground up.; The remains of the Ego Gem's essence was split among the Power, Soul, Mind, and Space Gems, allowing them each to take on autonomous living forms that shared Nemesis' malicious intents. The Time and Reality Gems, whose individual consciousnesses rebelled against the others in the interest of preserving the fabric of existence, remained in their original forms and found other hosts in the reforming Ultraverse to mitigate the chaos in Nemesis' wake. The Power Gem's living form was a large, muscular, four-armed, black and red being. Its exploits in this form before turning up in its original Gem form again in Earth-616 are unknown.; ===JLA/Avengers===; When the activities of the cosmically powerful Krona caused the Marvel and DC universes to begin bleeding into each other, the Grandmaster manipulated heroes from each world into collecting objects of power, including the Infinity Gems, ostensibly for the purpose of averting the coming disaster. The Gems turned up on Apokolips, assembled by Darkseid into the Infinity Gauntlet, but when he realized the device was powerless outside its home reality, he discarded it, allowing the JLA to collect it for their side. When all the objects of power were assembled, Grandmaster combined their energies to forcibly bind the universes together in a failing attempt to neutralize Krona. The Grandmaster died and the objects fell into Krona's control, who attempted to make the two universes destroy each other to accomplish his goal of witnessing the birth of the next reality. The heroes of both worlds joined forces to stop Krona, destroying the containment device for the objects of power, allowing the universes to reorder themselves. The Infinity Gems were thus returned to their home universe along with everything else.; ===Galactus & Hunger===; Galactus was the next to assemble the Gems, having come to believe they could provide him with an alternate form of sustenance. Rather than freeing him from his hunger, he was actually freeing Hunger, a reality-devouring entity that was subconsciously manipulating him into opening a passage to his universe. Upon completing the set, Galactus affixed the Gems to a focusing crux connected to his ship, opening the way for Hunger. Realizing his mistake, Galactus attempted to fight Hunger, but it was ultimately the efforts of Thanos and his ally, Pip, that cut Hunger off by destroying the ship, separating the Soul Gem from the focusing crux, and crushing them beneath the weaponized planet Rigel-3. The other Gems were once again scattered across the cosmos by the blast.; ===Champion and She-Hulk===; The Power Gem soon returned to the Champion, who used it to conquer the planet Skardon, and later to secure his victory against all challengers in a contest of strength, a boxing match. This led to the Magistrati offering his opposition a court-appointed advocate, in the form of She-Hulk. She-Hulk challenged the Champion in the ring, and forced him to give up his use of a foreign object, the Power Gem, to gain an unfair advantage, also goading him into not only relinquishing control of Skardon, but never wearing the Gem again if he lost. She-Hulk was able to defeat the Champion, freeing the planet, and making Champion give up using the Power Gem. Seeking a way to use the Power Gem to get revenge on She-Hulk, the Champion sought out She-Hulk's enemy, Titania. He gifted her with the Gem, and trained her to use the strength it gave. Titania attacked She-Hulk at her place of work and Jennifer was overwhelmed by Titania's new power. Realizing that the Infinity Gems' connection to the Elders is because they are drawn to those who have the strongest singular desire for what the Gem provides, She-Hulk tricked Titania into believing she had won, and caused her to lose the Power Gem. Then Jennifer Walters used the Power Gem to defeat Titania in one hit. She-Hulk then entrusted the Gem to Reed Richards.; ===Illuminati===; Concerned about the threat of the Gems, Richards assembled the Illuminati to discuss gathering the rest for security. Having already acquired Soul and Space through unrevealed means, he used the three Gems he had to locate the remainder. With the completed Infinity Gauntlet, Reed attempted to will it out of existence but nothing happened. He then offered it to the Watcher who had arrived to warn him against his actions, but was refused. He then decided it was best to divide the Gems among the members of the Illuminati to hide, protect, and never use for themselves, though Uatu suggested this was no less irresponsible in the long run. Reed kept the Power Gem for himself.; Reed kept the Gem in a pocket dimension safe in his lab. Parker Robbins, guided by the Reality Gem he had acquired earlier, disabled all the security protecting it and made it the second in his collection. During a clash with the Avengers after gaining the Space Gem, and aiming for the Time Gem, Robbins lost the Power Gem to the Red Hulk, who managed to wrest it away while he was distracted by the Watcher. Red Hulk used the Gem to fight the Hood until the rest were assembled and he passed it to Iron Man, who used the completed Infinity Gauntlet to return the Hood to prison and then make it appear to the assembled Avengers that he removed the Gems from existence. Instead, he actually hid them until the Illuminati, now with Steve Rogers on their side, could convene to redistribute the Gems for better safekeeping. This time, Namor left with the Power Gem.; When the Illuminati attempted to use the Infinity Gauntlet to push away another universe that was colliding with Earth-616, the Power Gem shattered.; ===Infinity Wars===; Following the destruction of the entire Multiverse and its eventual restoration, the destroyed Infinity Gems were recreated and scattered across the universe. The Power Gem (now colored purple) manifested in a giant-size in the desert planet of Xitaung, where it was found by a Nova Corps expeditionary force led by Eve Bakian. They decided to go under the radar since they discovered the Nova Corps was compromised due to the presence of Fraternity of Raptors spies.; Since Bakian's squadron stole funds and resources to build a fortress to protect themselves, Commander Adsit caught notice of their activities, and sent Star-Lord and Rich Rider to investigate. After learning of Bakian's reasons for going rogue, Star-Lord and Rich helped remain off-grid. Star-Lord later directed Drax the Destroyer to Xitaung when he decided to retire, so he could help guard the Power Stone.; Unfortunately, a Fraternity of Raptors spy overheard Star-Lord and Nova talking about the Power Stone, and managed to alert his superiors, so Xitaung was soon besieged by the Raptors, as well as the Chitauri, who had also learned about it. After a fierce and desperate three-way battle between the Raptors, the Chitauri, and the Nova Corps as well the Nova Corps' allies, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Rich Rider was able to figure out thanks to his brother Robbie that the Power Stone could be shrunk down imposing one's cognition over reality. Using this principle, Star-Lord made the Power Stone hand-sized. After using the Stone to beat back Chitauri and Raptors alike, the Guardians fled Xitaung as it collapsed without the Power Stone to hold it together. After refusing to hand over the Power Stone to the Nova Corps, the Guardians fled to Oblitus. After Gamora set out to obtain the Soul Stone on her own, she tricked Star-Lord into departing with a counterfeit Power Stone while she secured the real one and encrusted her sword with it. Gamora attacked a meeting of the new Infinity Watch on Earth, and eventually claimed all the remaining Infinity Stones from their wielders.; Gamora folded the universe in half and merged the two halves together, sending the new universe into a pocket universe called Warp World inside the Soul Gem so the merged souls would become prey to the monstrous Devondra. While waiting for Warp World's destruction, Gamora traveled to the God Quarry to investigate what laid beneath it. Inside Warp World, Loki rallied a group of heroes called the Cosmic Avengers to stop Gamora, and they escaped from the Soul Gem using copies of the Infinity Stones found within Warp World which Gamora had unwittingly brought into existence when she created Warp World. Emma Frost was given the replicate Power Stone since her mastery over telepathy allowed her to tap into the Power Stone's full potential.; The Cosmic Avengers confronted Gamora and took the Power, Reality and Space Stones from her. Loki in turn took these stones for himself in addition to the copies of the Soul, Time and Mind Stones, thus assembling a complete set of Infinity Stones. He used the stones to send Gamora to Warp World before transporting himself to the unknown realm that existed beneath the Quarry of Creation, where he found a group of Celestials guarding a deposit of countless Infinity Stones.; Loki returned from beneath the Quarry of Creation, and used his Infinity Stones to render the surplus gems inert. He handed over his set to the Cosmic Avengers so they could repair the universe. After returning to Soul World and defeating Devondra, the Cosmic Avengers joined forces with Adam Warlock to restore the universe while keeping Warp World intact within the Soul Gem. Adam Warlock then used the Soul Gem to flee Soul World with the Cosmic Avengers and his allies while Drax the Destroyer sacrificed himself to keep the portal leading to the real universe open. After sending Gamora someplace to set her on a path of redemption, Adam Warlock decided to give the Infinity Stones sentience and let them decide their destinies in order to stop the conflicts over their power. ============================================================ Power Gauntlets Kind: item Page: Power Gauntlets Formal name: Power Gauntlets Type: Technology; Gauntlets First appearance: New Mutants Vol 2 10 Created by: Nunzio DeFilippis; Christina Weir; Carlo Barberi Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Forge Additional designers: Beast Current owner: Surge Properties: Electrical Regulation: The Power Gauntlets allow Surge to regulate her absorption and release of ambient electricity.; Communication: The Power Gauntlets can contact Forge, as all his creations are connected and "talk to each other". Trivia: Surge used the Power Gauntlets mk I from New Mutants Vol 2 10 until New Mutants Vol 2 13, Power Gauntlets mk II from New X-Men Vol 2 1 until New X-Men Vol 2 16, and finally Power Gauntlets mk III from New X-Men Vol 2 20 until the present. History: Surge's mutant abilities cause her to constantly absorb ambient electricity. When this electricity builds up to dangerous levels, it can negatively affect her cognitive process and result in uncontrolled electrical discharges. This was somewhat regulated with the use of illicit drugs (most likely CNS depressants or mild sedatives).; ===Mk I===; To prevent the adverse effects of her mutant powers, Beast and Forge designed these special devices to help regulate Surge's power flow. When she reached a full charge, she could safely channel the energy.; Surge used the Power Gauntlets mk I, which only covered her hands and had large dials jutting out, for only a short while; possibly because they were prototypes.; ===Mk II===; Before the beginning of the next semester, Surge switched to the Power Gauntlets mk II, which were much larger, covered her entire forearms and were reportedly heavy.; ===Mk III===; Finally, after M-Day, Forge designed the sleeker Power Gauntlets mk III. Though they still covered her entire forearms, they are a much lighter weight. Surge has continued to use the mk III Power Gauntlets until the present time. ============================================================ Powder of Dissolution Kind: item Page: Powder of Dissolution Formal name: Powder of Dissolution Type: Weapon First appearance: Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 4 Created by: Roy Thomas; Rafael Kayanan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Zuchan of Khitan History: It was used by Zuchan to turn Lord Pollus into bubbling ooze. ============================================================ Polarizer Gun Kind: item Page: Polarizer Gun Formal name: Polarizer Gun Type: Technology; Firearm First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 54 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Inhuman Place of creation: Attilan Current owner: Wyatt Wingfoot History: This Polarizer Gun was used by Wyatt Wingfoot to shoot with a solidified ray of light the Evil Eye out of the Human Torch's hand and knocking it a safe distance away before it exploded in a giant nuclear explosion, thus saving his life. ============================================================ Plasti-Thene Kind: item Page: Plasti-Thene Formal name: Plasti-Thene Other aliases: Plastithene Type: Material First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 25 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Leader History: Upon learning that the Hulk had been captured, the Leader went to the military base and volunteered his services to General Ross, to come up with a suitable method to contain the Hulk. The Leader then began working to create a Plasti-thene prison; his task finally completed, the Leader presented the "living cage" of Plasti-thene to Ross. The wagon with the Hulk on it was rolled into the mound, and the Leader used the Sealer Beam to close the entrance, trapping the jade giant inside a small open area within the mound. The Hulk awoke and easily broke free of the restraints on the wagon, but he was unable to punch through the Plasti-thene. He next grabbed the wagon and hurled it at the wall, but the wagon only bounced back at him. Seeing that he couldn't break through the walls, the Hulk next tried to smash through the floor, but the force of the shockwave only reflected back at him, leaving him the helpless prisoner of the Leader.; While the Hulk was imprisoned within the Plasti-thene, the Leader began preparations to initiate his secret agenda, using the military base's missiles to start a nuclear war. Betty Ross slipped off and found the Sealer Beam, then she reversed the power on the device and freed the Hulk from the Plasti-thene cage. Following a brief battle between the Hulk and the Leader's Super Humanoid, the Leader fired a handgun at the Hulk and enveloped the jade giant's body with a blob of Plasti-thene, entrapping him again.; After a long struggle, the Hulk was finally able to exert his strength to its greatest extent, and broke free of the Plasti-thene coating his body. ============================================================ Porcupine Armor Kind: item Page: Porcupine Armor Formal name: Porcupine Armor Other aliases: Porcupine Suit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 48 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Alex Gentry Current owner: Roger Gocking Previous owners: Alex Gentry Dimensions: 6'7" Weight: 305 lbs Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Porcupine's weapon was his battlesuit, made of metal and advanced plastics, which served a wide variety of purposes and functions.; First, the battlesuit served as defensive armor, it was highly resistant to damage, so much so that even small explosions of nitroglycerin did relatively little damage to it, and failed to harm its wearer whatsoever.; Moreover, the battlesuit was covered with razor-edged steel quill-like projections, which would seriously injure any normal, unprotected person who seized hold of them.; The battlesuit also contained a large array of offensive weapons. For example, the Porcupine could fire the sharp quills at his opponents.; Furthermore, many of the seeming quills that could not be fired were actually disguised tubes or guns through which the Porcupine fired various weaponry. The Porcupine could fire laser beams, concussive bombs, small rockets, tear gas, sleeping gas, smoke screens, acetylene torch flames, liquid cement, wheels giving off hypnotic lights, and high voltage blasts of electricity, as well as other weapons. The Porcupine's battlesuit included a gas mask to protect him from the gases ejected from his costume.; The Porcupine's battlesuit also included jets that enabled him to fly for short distances.; The controls for the Porcupine's battlesuit were located in his costume's belt and gloves. ============================================================ Power Purse Kind: item Page: Power Purse Formal name: Power Purse Type: Technology; Bag First appearance: Sunfire and Big Hero Six Vol 1 1 Created by: Scott Lobdell; Gus Vazquez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Japanese Current owner: Honey Lemon Alternate owners: Honey Lemon (Earth-14123); Honey Lemon (Earth-TRN1098); Honey Lemon (Earth-TRN1671) Trivia: The purse appears in Disney INFINITY: 2.0 Edition as a Power Disc; it is restricted to allowing the user to throw chem-balls that freeze enemies. History: The power purse allows Honey access to an alternate dimension where she can acquire items and utilize them to her liking.; Clear; == Alternate Realities ==; Image; Description; Source; On Earth-14123, Honey's power purse is instead a miniature chemical laboratory. It also has a touch screen with an encoding of the periodic table, capable of creating various weapons in the form of palm-sized "chem-balls" through the use of the aforementioned periodic elements. Such concoctions include hardening foam to halt movement, cushioning foam to break falls, ice to freeze enemies, and smokescreens for camouflage. It should also be noted that instead of Honey herself, it was Hiro who created the purse. Big Hero 6 (film) ============================================================ Power Pack Uniforms Kind: item Page: Power Pack Uniforms Formal name: Power Pack Uniform Other aliases: Kymellian Uniform Type: Suit First appearance: Power Pack Vol 1 1 Created by: Louise Simonson; June Brigman Origin: Kymellian clothing constructed from unstable molecules Lead designer: Kymellians Additional designers: Smartship Friday Current owner: Energizer; Lightspeed; Mass Master; Zero-G; Tattletale; Kofi Whitemane; Kymellians Properties: The costumes are more resistant to cold than full winter clothing. When not in use, they are maintained by residents of an alternate reality known as Elsewhere. When un-summoned and re-summoned the costumes are automatically cleaned, repaired, and re-sized to fit their new wearer. This maintenance was not sufficient to repair the built in communicators after they were damaged by being put through an Earthly washing machine. In addition to summoning, more major alterations to the costumes can be made by contacting the Elsewhere tailors with notes left in the pockets when the costumes are unsummoned, such as adding flippers and breathing equipment for underwater use. As the pockets are actually portals to Elsewhere, they can hold a significant amount of material, even an entire child, without creating a bulge or weight, but living beings who enter them risk being trapped in Elsewhere. History: Each member of Power Pack was given a costume based on Kymellian clothing constructed from unstable molecules by the Smartship Friday. Franklin Richards was later given a costume by Friday as well. With the verbal command, "Costume(s) On," the costume will appear, replacing any existing clothes, while the command "Costume(s) Off" reverses this summoning. ============================================================ Pocket Dimension Storage Vial (Earth-17628) Kind: item Page: Pocket Dimension Storage Vial Formal name: Pocket Dimension Storage Vial Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Universe Guardians of the Galaxy Infinite Comic Vol 1 1 Created by: Mairghread Scott; Luciano Vecchio Reality: Earth-17628 Current owner: Rocket Raccoon Previous owners: The Collector History: An alien of unknown origin named Corhanis was traveling throughout the universe for eons until her eventual capture by The Collector.; The Collector wished to know everywhere that Corhanis had been and everything that she had seen, in order to use this knowledge to expand his collection, but Corhanis had no concepts of maps nor star charts, and thus could not adequately explain where specifically she had ventured.; The Collector did not believe her, and thus imprisoned her within a Pocket Dimension Storage Vial. He programmed the Vial to prevent her from leaving, but once inside to do whatever she liked.; With so much time to herself, Corhanis learned to perfect shape-shifting abilities more advanced than was commonly capable by a member of her species. Eventually she realized that she could also alter her surroundings, so she crafted many things including a castle in which to live, but eventually came to realize there was nothing left to master, and that the Vial was as much of a prison as her former cell in the Collector's Museum.; At some point Rocket Raccoon stole the Pocket Dimension Storage Vial containing Corhanis from The Collector. He used the device to store various weapons and other items until one night on Knowhere when Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, and Star-Lord were awakened aboard the Milano by the screams of Groot.; The trio went to investigate and discovered the Flora colossi attempting to extract Rocket Raccoon from having been sucked into the Pocket Dimension Storage Vial. Despite a subsequent struggle, all five of them were eventually pulled therein.; The Guardians of the Galaxy found themselves in free fall for over ten minutes during which time Peter blamed Rocket for the present situation, but he in turn insisted that something had grabbed him and pulled him in. Eventually they landed upon an island strewn with items that Rocket had placed within the storage device, but was never able to retrieve. There was however one item that he was not responsible for placing there: Corhanis' Impossible Castle.; Once inside the castle, the Guardians entered into a game of cat and mouse, as they tried to capture Corhanis, who in turn worked to isolate the team members from one another. Ultimately Corhanis called Drax a coward and enraged by her comments he pursued her into a room which she then sealed off from the rest of the Guardians.; Now alone, Corhanis challenged Drax to single combat, the terms of which being, if she won, then he would have to help her escape. He agreed and Corhanis then shape-shifted into a seemingly non-threatening chubby caterpillar-like creature. Drax mocked the chosen form, only to be caught off-guard by the rapid strike of tentacles which wrapped around his limbs and neck, pulling Drax into Corhanis' gaping maw.; Having been swallowed whole, Drax now found himself in a blinding void standing before Corhanis. After he conceded defeat, the shapeshifter explained how she had come to be imprisoned within the Pocket Dimension Storage Vial, and that she believed by assuming his form, she could then bypass The Collector's force field to escape her prison. She then rejoined the Guardians of the Galaxy in the guise of Drax, explaining that she knew the way out. ============================================================ Plasti-Gun Kind: item Page: Plasti-Gun Formal name: Plasti-Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 37 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology built by Doctor Doom Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Probably Latveria Previous owners: Doctor Doom History: Built by Doctor Doom, this exotic, non-offenssive handgun creates a wall of opaque plastic to prevent common people from following Doom.; Doom used the Plasti-Gun while fighting Daredevil in New York City, to prevent a crowd from following them. The New Yorkers were unable to break the plastic and were aghast at its properties: It was cold and vibrated. They decided to wait for the NYPD to come, understanding that Doom would probably had leave by then. ============================================================ Power Sphere Kind: item Page: Power Sphere Formal name: Power Sphere Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 17 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Previous owners: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom built these tennis ball-sized items as a defense system, launching them in swarms through small passages or rooms. Attracted to heat (such as the one in a human's body), the spheres flew to the victims to cover them completely, then they exploded to travel, along with their prisoners, to another, unscapable dimension. He used them on the Fantastic Four once, but they tricked the spheres with flame images generated by the Human Torch. ============================================================ Power Dampener Kind: item Page: Power Dampener Formal name: Power Dampener Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 197 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Current owner: Victor von Doom Trivia: Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 says that Doom had used a power dampener to neutralize the Invisible Woman's powers. However, at that point, Susan Storm went by the alias Invisible Girl.; Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 also presents a captioned image of a dampener on page 34. It is also reproduced on page 48, just before the page describing the dampener. History: The power dampener is a metallic headgear that Doctor Doom designed to cancel a prisoner's mental or psionic powers. It was far from perfect: While the dampener reduced mental powers of a captive, it could never totally cancel a power, but only leave the power at a minimum level. The dampener did not prevent the detainee from speaking or seeing, as it only covered the upper head. Doom built only one dampener and kept it in Castle Doom.; Doom once used the dampener on a bound Invisible Girl. He had also captured her teammates of the Fantastic Four, placing it on a specialized cage - the Human Torch in a Liquid Prison and the Thing on a Power Compressor while Mr. Fantastic went on a dangerous mission for Doom's purposes. Doom meanwhile explained the Invisible Girl and his other hostages his plot to abdicate in favour of his supposed son, commemorating the event with a statue of himself for the United Nations. While he went on, he and the Fantastic Four could see through a monitor how Mr. Fantastic fell to his supposed death; and not even the shock of her husband's death was enough for the Invisible Girl to overcome the restriction of the dampener.; Doom later replaced the dampener on the Invisible Girl with an Electronic Shackle to take her to a Power Transference Machine. Doom kept the dampener at Castle Doom, apparently never duplicating it. ============================================================ Power Transference Machine Kind: item Page: Power Transference Machine Formal name: Power Transference Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 198 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Place of creation: Probably Doctor Doom's Castle, Latveria Current owner: Victor von Doom Notes: The role-playing game adventure Deeds of Doom features the Power Transference Machine. If the player characters are captured, then their powers are transferred to the Doomsman. At a later point, as explained by reluctant ally Doctor Doom, the player characters have a chance to recover their powers while fighting the Doomsman; they can try a concentration roll whenever they touch the robot in a fight or whenever the Doomsman's emerald ray hits that character. When the robot is destroyed, Doom can return the powers to the player characters. This difference in the power transference process may be due to the partly-mystical nature of the Doomsman. History: Doctor Doom's Power Transference Machine was a room-sized device made up of different parts. The main part was a metallic machine core that propagated four metallic radii, each ending in a plastic sphere, known as transference globes, where a superpowered subject or victim was to be retained. A second part was a nearby dish with a specially wired chair, where the intended recipient was to be strapped. The recipient was to be almost naked. During the process, the core would generate a ray that would soak the recipient, making that person convulse, thus the need of the bindings. Lastly, the machine's operator manipulated it from a sonic keyboard, which could also double as a musical instrument.; The transference process took no more than a few minutes and could handle one to four superpowered victims at once, literally extracting their powers and implanting them to the subject. The process was not 100% reliable: A victim could retain their powers should there be a system failure or the victim proved particularly robust. Even when a victim's powers are erased, the subject could receive those powers at a lower rank. Lastly, if a victim escaped the globe during the process, then the victim would always retained his or her powers, although the recipient could gain those powers too, copying them at their original level or at a lesser one. In no case would the recipient get a victim's powers at a level greater than the one the victim had. When a power-endowed subject tries to use newly-found superpowers, he or she may be hurt at the effects of the powers. Being as it is a complex process, Doom insisted to have someone monitoring it.; Doctor Doom had one operative Power Transference Machine at Castle Doom in Latveria. He intended to use the machine to transfer the powers of his enemies, the Fantastic Four, to his so-called son Victor von Doom the Second - really his clone. Doom captured three of the Fantastic Four (Human Torch, Invisible Girl and Thing) and was led to believe that Mr. Fantastic was dead, so he led his three prisoners to the transference globes and prepared his clone for the transfer. He had a chance to capture Mr. Fantastic before the process started, so he had two Servo-Guards place his new captive in the fourth globe. Doom did not know that Mr. Fantastic had hidden in his belt a micro-feedback system, which was a specific device to short-circuit the kind of machines that Doom tended to use. Mr. Fantastic's powers had also increased considerably.; The transfer process began. As Doom had state affairs to take care of, he delegated the monitoring to his scientist Gert Hauptmann. Mr. Fantastic released himself from the power globe, causing a power feedback and ran to release his stunned partners using the keyboard. As they retained their powers, they mistakenly believed that the machine had failed completly - however, Doom the Second had copied their powers. In any case Hauptmann, too scared to confront four superheroes, ran to warn Doom. This allowed Doom to take measures and, when the Fantastic Four confronted him, he captured them again, locking them up in a cell - the Power Transference Machine was broken in their release, so it could not be re-used.; Doom the Second soon proved to have powers, including the Thing's body armor, Mr. Fantastic's elasticity, the Invisible Girl's invisibility, the Human Torch's flames and the Invisible Girl's force fields - although the two later powers were weaker than those of the original users. Doctor Doom was forced to kill the clone in combat.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Deeds of Doom (Earth-74924)===; In Earth-74924, Doctor Doom later moved a Power Transference Machine to a hidden laboratory underneath an American city. Doom and his lackeys were there building a powerful pacifier robot, Doomsman III, and Doom believed that some superheroes may find the lair. In that case, should the heroes be captured, he would use the machine to transfer their powers to the Doomsman. Doom knew of a way to return the powers to their original owners if needed, should the Doomsman be destroyed. ============================================================ Power Cosmic Infusing Machine Kind: item Page: Power Cosmic Infusing Machine Other aliases: Power Cosmic Infusing Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 258 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Gert Hauptmann Additional designers: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Castle Doom, Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom Model: 1 Trivia: Device name never given in its appearances History: Doctor Doom had once stolen the Power Cosmic from the Silver Surfer and used him himself, only to lose it afterward. Understanding the offensive value of the Power Cosmic, Doom devoted efforts to artificially replicate it with technology. Doom ordered scientist Gert Hauptmann to create such a device, with the intent of, once again, using it to empower himself. Hauptmann created the device in Castle Doom, Latveria, and eagerly summoned his master to test it in a real human subject - Doom himself.; Doom had previously killed Hauptmann's brother Gustav, a deed that Hauptmann had not forgiven, nor Doom forgotten. Hauptmann's machine was perfect, it would indeed create the power cosmic and infuse it in a living subject. However, the Power Cosmic was too much to be contained in a mere human body - at least without someone like Galactus controlling the process - and would immediately carbonize the subject. Hauptmann intended to trick Doom to his machine, but Doom foresaw this and instead pushed Hauptmann there, mockingly speaking of how Hauptmann was more worthy than Doom. Hauptmann tried to protest and escape, but he was carbonized, leaving only his glasses intact. Doom's Servo-Guard escort was distraught at the risk.; Doom then looked for another subject, someone who was powerful enough to hold the Power Cosmic and at the same time naïve enough for Doom to manipulate him. Doom recruited the alien Tyros the Terrible, who had been Galactus' Herald until he lost his powers, and submitted him to the machine. Two Servo-Guards checked everything, as Doom feared that Tyros may be driven mad by the process.; Doom also provided Tyros with a Techno-Suit to channel and control the energies, and with a Sky-Sled to travel. Doom failed to mention that the Power Cosmic was quickly consuming Tyros and the Suit was delaying his final demise - the Machine was unable to protect the subject from this, and Doom anyway intended to use Tyros and quickly dispose of him. Indeed, mere hours later, Tyros was consumed by the Power Cosmic while confronting the Silver Surfer. ============================================================ Plasteel Sphere Kind: item Page: Plasteel Sphere Formal name: Plasteel Sphere Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 288 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom developed this device as a cell to hold his nemesis Mister Fantastic, whose malleable form allowed him to escape most conventional contraptions. The device was a small metallic podium where the prisoner was to be placed; then, once the item was activated, the podium generated a transparent bubble of plasteel around it, surrounding the prisoner. Once this was done, the podium was not necessarily static. The sphere was seamless and lacked any pore that could allow Mister Fantastic to escape, but it somehow allowed air to enter. More than one prisoner could be held within it. The sphere could be broken using physical strength, and certain superpowers allowed a person to go through it. Alternatively, the external control panel could be used to deactivate it.; Doctor Doom had one of these devices in his Latverian Castle, and another unit in the basement of the Latverian Embassy of New York City. The latter's control panel was attached to the ones of three other unique cages for the other members of the Fantastic Four - the Aquarium Cage, the Force Cage and the Molecular Cage. Once, Doom imprisoned Mister Fantastic and guest hero the Wasp in this item and his colleagues of the Fantastic Four in the others. Doom intended to make them witness his triumph by restoring his original body and summoning the Beyonder. When Doom enraged the Beyonder, Mister Fantastic attracted the Beyonder's attention and, interested, the Beyonder released Mister Fantastic from the plasteel sphere using his powers. Mister Fantastic was momentarily aghast at having gone through a physical object. Mister Fantastic talked his way out of this situation and Doom was teleported away. Having this chance, Fantastic released his partners. ============================================================ Power Compressor Kind: item Page: Power Compressor Formal name: Power Compressor Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 197 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Current owner: Victor von Doom History: Doctor Doom designed this imprisonment device for very strong inmates. The prisoner's wrists, ankles, shoulders and neck were strapped in metallic shackles, with a great horizontal bar pushing his lower back forward uncomfortably. When the prisoner tried to release himself (or herself) through brute strength, the machine does not only not falter, but increases the strength to retain the prisoner.; Doom once used the Compressor on a bound Thing. He had also captured her teammates of the Fantastic Four, placing it on a specialized cage - the Human Torch in a Liquid Prison and Invisible Girl on a Power Dampener while Mr. Fantastic went on a dangerous mission for Doom's purposes. Doom meanwhile explained the Thing and his other hostages his plot to abdicate in favor of his supposed son, commemorating the event with a statue of himself for the United Nations. While he went on, he and the Fantastic Four could see through a monitor how Mr. Fantastic fell to his supposed death; and not even the shock of her husband's death was enough for the Invisible Girl to overcome the restriction of the dampener.; Doom later replaced the Compressor on the Thing with an Electronic Shackle to take him to a Power Transference Machine. ============================================================ Pluto Probe Kind: item Page: Pluto Probe Formal name: Pluto Probe Type: Technology First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 6 Created by: Steve Englehart; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom built this device apparently to discover the secrets of outer space.; When the Secretary of State of the United States of America met with Doom to discuss a potential non-aggression aggreement with Latveria, Doom showed some of his more powerful devices, including this one. ============================================================ Plasma Armor Kind: item Page: Plasma Armor Formal name: Plasma Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Ms. Marvel Vol 4 10 Created by: G. Willow Wilson; Takeshi Miyazawa; Adrian Alphona Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Becky St. Jude Place of creation: Jersey City, New Jersey Current owner: Lockdown Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The Plasma Armor is activated through a device Becky wears on her left wrist. When activated, the armor appears as a semi-transparent exosuit.; Increased Strength and Increased Durability: The armor grants Becky increased strength and durability, allowing her to hurt a super-human like Ms. Marvel.; Flight: Becky later revealed that the armor was capable of flight.; Energy Blasts: The armor could fire beams of energy.; ===Weaknesses===; The armor cannot completely protect Becky as Ms. Marvel was able to hurt her some with a punch to the abdomen. The armor can also be deactivated by damaging the control device. History: Becky St. Jude first demonstrated the Plasma Armor's capabilities ironically not to fight a threat but to fight the Cadets' leader, Ms. Marvel, over the fate of the group. Ms. Marvel wanted to disband the Carol Cadets over its authoritative measures, while Becky wanted the Cadets to remain together.; Becky seemed to be a match for Ms. Marvel, though Ms. Marvel herself was holding back so she didn't injure Becky. Ms. Marvel eventually deactivated Becky's Plasma Armor by shrinking down and disabling the armor's control mechanism.; Becky later used the armor in another confrontation with Ms. Marvel, but was convinced to stand down by Iron Man and Captain Marvel. ============================================================ Potion Vapor Cannon Kind: item Page: Potion Vapor Cannon Formal name: Potion Vapor Cannon Type: Weapon First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 125 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian Place of creation: Asgard Current owner: Loki Version: Original History: The Potion Vapor Cannon was used by Loki against the Flying Trolls of Thryheim. ============================================================ Planetary Defense Shield Kind: item Page: Planetary Defense Shield Formal name: Planetary Defense Shield Other aliases: Project Onicef; Shield Type: Technology First appearance: Captain America: Steve Rogers Vol 1 9 Created by: Nick Spencer; Javier Pina; Andres Guinaldo Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Red Ghost (Ivan Kragoff) Additional designers: S.H.I.E.L.D. Properties: In theory, the Planetary Defense Shield is a truly impenetrable force field surrounding the Earth, and more powerful than those created by beings like Sue Storm, Magneto, or Graviton by an order of thousands, making it the strongest protective shielding ever invented. It also permeates everything below itself with gray matter particles that intercept any portal openings used by teleporters.; The shield would also act as a conductor capable of channeling energy applied into it, redistributing the excess back into space and re-purposing the remaining.; The Planetary Defense Shield is beamed through a main installation in Michigan, with a network of automated signal-boost outpost stationed worldwide at regular intervals. One of these such outposts was located in Uzbekistan. History: The Planetary Defense Shield was originally conceived by the Red Ghost after discovering that harvesting a Chitauri queen egg on Earth would lure countless Chitauri to invade the planet. He devised the force field, codenamed Project Onicef, as a way to protect the globe from such an invasion.; As part of his plan to take over America, the Hydra-loyalist Captain America who had secretly supplanted the real Steve Rogers raided Red Ghost's base of operations and killed him. Having learned of Project Onicef, Steve made sure it reached the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. director Maria Hill.; When Hill found herself indicted for trial and facing potential discharge from her position, she asked a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists to review all of the organization's red file proposals until they discovered something that, if presented by her, could absolve her from trial and potential punishment. The scientists discovered Red Ghost's designs, and Hill found interest in the idea of a planetary force field, particularly in light of the recent superhuman civil war, which started due to Thanos' arrival on Earth, and a looming Chitauri invasion.; During her trial, Hill presented the idea of the Planetary Defense Shield, hoping it could turn the tribunal in her favor, claiming it could represent bad publicity for S.H.I.E.L.D. if she let out that they passed the opportunity to create such a defense measure against invaders as a consequence of her deposition. When the tribunal refused to play along with Hill, she fled from the Helicarrier with the plans for the Shield, and gave them to Captain Marvel of the Alpha Flight space initiative.; Captain Marvel later personally endorsed the creation of the Shield to the President of the United States, requesting complete autonomy in its implementation, but delayed application when an alien refugee situation presented itself on Earth, out of fear that the Shield would cause innocent aliens to become trapped outside. In spite of the potential postponed activation, construction of the Shield's generator began after Senate Majority Leader Townes helped garner support in Congress, and with the help of Governor Hartnett, Alpha Flight secured a site in Michigan.; When the Chitauri were preparing to invade Earth, a Hydra suicide bomber blew himself up and damaged the Planetary Defense Shield. Ironheart and an A.I. of Iron Man were tasked with fixing the Shield before the Chitauri attacked Earth. Suddenly, the Shield activated on its own, much to Ironheart's and the A.I.'s surprise. They realized that the suicide bombing was only a distraction to make it look like the Shield was damaged so some outside source could activate it to stop the Chitauri invasion and trap the heroes up in Earth Orbit that were holding off the invasion. What Ironheart and Iron Man did not know was that Steve Rogers was a secret Hydra sleeper agent and had tricked Rick Jones into giving him the codes needed to control the Shield so he could set up his trap. The Chitauri invasion had also been orchestrated by Captain America, who had found the Red Ghost's plans and secured a Chitauri queen egg. The establishment of the Shield was only a part of Captain America's plan to neutralize potential adversaries during Hydra's subsequent take over of the United States.; As Captain America seized control of the government, waves of countless of Chitauri regularly attempted to reach the Earth. Months into Hydra's reign, a army of rebels named the Underground managed to recover one fragment of a Cosmic Cube. After managing to establish contact with Alpha Flight and the heroes trapped on the other site, they coordinated an attempt to take down the Shield. Even though Alpha Flight turned its space station into a bomb and crashed it into the Shield, the force field held the impact. Sam Wilson's use of the Cube shard allowed for Quasar to wake up from a coma after she had succumbed to injuries while fighting the Chitauri Wave in the early invasion attempts of the alien race. Quasar proceeded to blast the Shield with all of her power until it eventually gave in and was destroyed, though the act cost her her life. Captain Marvel subsequently flew to the location of the Chiaturi eggs, which had been previously pin-pointed while the Shield was still up, and destroyed them, ensuring the Chitauri would cease their rampage.; Embarrassed by such a device, the US Government sought to destroy every last trace of the plans. However, they ended up in the hands of the mercenary Arcade, who explained that he "knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy...". He was approached by Kraven the Hunter to use the device on Central Park for mysterious means involving animal-themed figures. ============================================================ Pool of Forevers Kind: item Page: Pool of Forevers Formal name: Pool of Forevers Type: Structure First appearance: Thor: God of Thunder Vol 1 4 Created by: Jason Aaron; Esad Ribić Reality: Earth-616; | Reality 2 = Earth-14412 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Time Gods of Chronux Place of creation: Chronux Place of destruction: Black World of Gorr Previous owners: Time Gods of Chronux; Gorr the God Butcher History: The Pool of Forevers was a device created by the Time Gods of Chronux to travel through time. After killing all but one of the Time Gods, Gorr used it to travel back in time to before the beginning of the universe, killing a baby Elder God to steal its heart. Following a skirmish with Thor Odinson, Gorr used the Pool to travel untold millennia into the future, arriving in Earth-14412.; Over the next 900 years, Gorr used enslaved gods to build the Godbomb around a Pool of Forevers, intending to send the living abyss of the All-Black symbiote back through time to kill every god that had ever existed. Gorr used this Pool of Forevers to pull gods out of the timestream, and send Black Berserkers into the past to capture Thor's younger self and bring him to the future, intending him to be the final sacrifice. Gorr's Pool of Forevers was destroyed with the detonation of the Godbomb, but Gorr's plan was foiled by the two Thors of Earth-616 and the Thor of Earth-14412. ============================================================ Planes of Pohldahk (Spell) Kind: item Page: Planes of Pohldahk (Spell) Formal name: Planes of Pohldahk Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 2 27 Created by: Roger Stern; Tom Sutton Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Pohldahk Current owner: Stygyro History: During a sorcerers duel, Stygyro used the Planes of Pohldahk against Doctor Strange.

Synthesized from the Flowers of Krakoa, there are several versions available worldwide, but all forms of Pollen appear to granted users with a short-term exalted feeling like they are twice as smart and twice as strong. Pollen use quickly became an international epidemic. Most of the worldwide Pollen trade was violently controlled by Flower Cartel.; The Order of X used Pollen as part of their quasi-religious ceremony, hoping to become a new hybrid species between human and mutant. ============================================================ Pouncers Kind: item Page: Pouncers Formal name: Pouncers Type: Robot First appearance: Rise of the Black Panther Vol 1 6 Created by: Evan Narcisse; Javier Pina Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Wakandan; weapons of destruction Lead designer: Wakanda Current owner: Wakanda Properties: The Pouncers are similar to the Prowlers, but are considerably more streamlined, graceful, and catlike in build. They can easily climb and scale tall buildings. Pouncers have a single laser cannon mounted on the hip, allowing them to fire direct shots at a target. The size and build of these mechs allows them to devastate vast locales with relative ease when activated. Due in part to being designed within Wakanda, the mechanized chassis are constructed of pure Vibranium, one of the strongest metals on earth, making them nearly indestructible. History: Pouncers were large panther battle mechs constructed as a part of Project Koukou. Motivated by overthrowing T'Challa and starting a war between Wakanda and the world, Erik Killmonger activated the project from a secret bunker. He deployed several Pouncers out of a jet in a Wakandan city to spark dissent and conflict. While they were too late to stop Killmonger's deployment, Shuri and T'Challa thwarted his plans. Working together, the two successfully diverted the Pouncers from the city and then simultaneously programmed the code to shut down the mechs without damaging them at the Hatut Zeraze Headquarters. ============================================================ Polymorphic Weapon Kind: item Page: Polymorphic Weapon Formal name: Polymorphic Weapon Type: Weapon First appearance: Annihilation: Conquest - Wraith Vol 1 1 Created by: Javier Grillo-Marxuach; Kyle Hotz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Shapeshifting weapon Lead designer: Leader of the Nameless Additional designers: Exolon Place of creation: Exoteric Latitude Place of destruction: Ruins of Klyntar Current owner: Knull Previous owners: Wraith (Zak-Del); Leader of the Nameless Material: Living Abyss Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable Model: Unique Version: 1 History: A shapeshifting weapon originally wielded by the leader of the Nameless, with a holster emblazoned with the same white-on-black emblem as his Exolon poncho.

It is unconfirmed whether this item is for sale via Magnum Munitions or Moses Magnum sells it through another company or means. History: The Power-Podium 310 is one of the weapons and offensive technologies designed by Moses Magnum to be sold in the open marked.; The Podium is a man-sized platform with a dashboard that allows a single adult person to operate the controls for other technologies provided by Magnum, including the coherence of the Powerprison 170; these controls are apparently easy to understand and manipulate. The Podium can also be used to broadcast a man-sized, full-colored holographic transmission, possibly with international range (It was used to transmit an image of Moses Magnum himself to New York City, at a time when Magnum was forbidden to enter American soil, so he was probably elsewhere).; When Magnum's private army the Magnum Shells staged an attack on passenger planes in the John F. Kennedy International Airport, the Avengers tried to stop them, and then the Shells used the Powerprison to capture the Avengers. Moses Magnum appeared as a holographic transmission to reveal his involvement and to announce he'd use his defeat over the Avengers as marketing to advertise his weapon. The Podium was then sabotaged by Triathlon, another superhero joining the fight, causing both the cell and the transmission to stop working suddenly. The Shells were defeated, but they were really just a distraction for Magnum's real plan. ============================================================ Portal Generator Kind: item Page: Portal Generator Formal name: Portal Generator First appearance: Spider-Man/Deadpool Vol 1 37 Created by: Robbie Thompson; Jim Towe Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Place of creation: Asgard Current owner: Warriors Three Previous owners: Wrecking Crew; Deadpool History: The Portal Generator was a magical item from Asgard that somehow was got by Deadpool who sold it to the Wrecking Crew.

When he required it, he had his assistant Dewbie retrieve it for him from its tool case. Doom used it against Spider-Man when he tried to subdue and brainwash him. After Spider-Man was able to break free from Doom's brainwashing attempt, he webbed the Power Finger which prevented it from firing. Doom tried to rip the webbing but was initially unable to. While Spider-Man was busy beating up Dewbie, Doom set his Power Finger to atomize. Before he could fire it, Spider-Man released an armored trap cage he knew about within the Fantastic Four Building and trapped Doom in it. Doom tried to fire through the cage, but the blast kept ricocheting from within the cage instead. ============================================================ Power Dampening Collars Kind: item Page: Power Dampening Collars Formal name: Power Dampening Collars Type: Technology First appearance: AVX: Consequences Vol 1 1 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Tom Raney Reality: Earth-616 Properties: Power Dampening Collar was a restraint device engineered to suppress or interrupt the superhuman abilities of mutant inmates. Developed through research into mutant neurological activity, the collar monitored the wearer’s brainwave patterns for the specific conscious impulse associated with activating powers. When such a signal was detected, the device automatically emitted a concentrated electrical discharge into the nervous system, triggering a brief seizure-like episode and preventing the mutant from using their abilities.The technology was designed as a cost-effective means of containing most mutant prisoners within standard prison populations without the need for specialized high-security cells. In addition to its automatic response system, the collar could also be manually activated by prison personnel as an immediate deterrent or punishment. History: Following the events of the Dark Phoenix crisis, Scott Summers was incarcerated in a privately operated prison facility and fitted with one of these collars to ensure he could not access his optic blasts or any residual powers while in custody. ============================================================ Pocket Battlefield (Earth-200080) Kind: item Page: Pocket Battlefield Formal name: Pocket Battlefield Type: Weapon; Holography First appearance: Marvel Boy Vol 2 2 Created by: Grant Morrison; J.G.

The Pocket Battlefield was designed with nine default environment modes, each with its own different sets of physics which allowed its user to alter the laws of physics inside the area inside, including space, sound, and temperature. As it was meant to disorient everyone caught in it, to avoid its user to also be affected it interfaced with the user's unconscious senses to compensate for the physical distortions. Marvel Boy would often use it in different ways, like turning it into a type of force field to shield himself and his allies when their ship was about to crash or from outside attacks, and disable Ronan's own micro-realities. History: The item dubbed the "Pocket Battlefield" was originally a piece of advanced technology in the possession of a group known as the Pink Pantheon which resided in the Macroverse. The Pink Pantheon were encountered by the 18th Kree Diplomatic Gestalt when the Matter Fax started malfunctioning and cloned the entire Macroverse, and during this one of the members by the name Star Splendor stole the Pocket Battlefield from them. The Pocket Battlefield was then stored in the archive of the Diplomatic Gestalt's dimension-schooner, the Marvel.; Following the crashing of the Marvel in Earth-616 and the death of most of the Gestalt, the sole survivor, Marvel Boy took the Pocket Battlefield with him in order to survive in this new strange reality. During his attempt to send a message to Earth's leaders, Marvel Boy came under the attack of the Bannermen, prompting him to activate the Pocket Battlefield.

Coalition Place of creation: Sacramento, California Place of destruction: San Francisco, California Notes: Proposition X is a fairly clear reference to the real world California law, Proposition 8, denying same sex couples marriage rights.; The idea of legislating mutants was also explored with the Mutant Registration Act and the Superhuman Registration Act. History: When the majority of the world's remaining mutant population moved to San Francisco some were excited and others, like the Hellfire Cult, feared what would happen. Simon Trask and his anti-mutant rights group, the Humanity Now! Coalition, tried to capitalize on this fear by forming Proposition X (Mutant Breeding Act Ballot Initiative, Prop X) to legislate mutant reproductive rights. Pointing to the massacre in Cooperstown; Alaska after the first mutant birth since M-Day as precedence, Trask began to gain traction in the California state legislature to muscle Prop X to an emergency ballot vote.; If it passed, Proposition X would require all humans who are X-Gene positive to undergo mandatory chemical birth control procedures.; While Humanity Now! began its march on San Francisco, they were met by a peaceful protest of Prop X opponents led by Beast and composed of both mutants and humans. However, Hellion and several other notorious mutants incited a riot. When mutant riots broke out in San Francisco, Norman Osborn, director of the national peace keeping organization H.A.M.M.E.R., declared martial law and sent his Avengers and his X-Men in to quell the riots and take down the X-Men leading to the events of Utopia. ============================================================ Psimitar (Earth-4935) Kind: item Page: Psimitar Formal name: Psimitar Other aliases: Psi-Mitar Type: Halberd First appearance: Cable Vol 1 58 Created by: Joe Casey; Ed McGuinness; José Ladrönn Reality: Earth-4935 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Clan Askani Additional designers: Blaquesmith Current owner: Hope Summers Previous owners: Cable; Blaquesmith; Dark Sisterhood; Dark Mother; Jean Grey Notes: While the spear was made by the Askani, Blaquesmith made his own versions for the Dark Sisterhood.

Years later when he came back older than his parents, he found a Psimitar spear on a Greek Isles to harness the rest of his powers when all telepathic abilities around the world were blocked during his battle with the Dark Sisterhood. A modified version had it only respond to his Psionic imprint refusing other telepathic users. A modern-day equivalent was constructed by Forge for Nathan Dayspring. When he repaired it, Forge created a built-in safeguard that would cause the psimitar to self-destruct before Nathan could reach the point of burning himself out. Keyed to Nathan's psionic imprint, it is usable only by him. He has used it to focus both his telekinesis and his telepathy on various X-Men missions. The psimitar was broken by John Lense, who applied gravitic shear to it.; Made from an unknown metal which can reinforce and focus the abilities of psionic mutants like Cable. They could change shape, extend in length, become energy when thrown reverting back upon repossession and had the effect of disrupting minds and nervous systems on contact. Each lancet was keyed to the specific psi-signature of the user and would only work for its designated handler, while their main focus was concentrating TK/ESP and could also absorb and discharge excess psychic energy from the user to better vent psychokinetic buildup safely without volatile backlash. ============================================================ Psychic Clay Kind: item Page: Psychic Clay Formal name: Psychic Clay Other aliases: Radioactive Clay Type: Material First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 8 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Wundagore Mountain, Transia Current owner: Puppet Master History: Psychic Clay is a mysterious substance used by the Puppet Master.

The excitement surrounding it resulted in people camping out and making blocks-long queues waiting for stores to restock the device. In online auctions, eScape interfaces went for twelve times the retail price, making them more valuable than gold or platinum. However, the Controlled had hidden his Control Disk technology in the design of all of the interface masks, allowing him to enthrall its users worldwide and leech energy off them, and making it near-fatal to strip the mask off them. Baintronics additionally made use of the factory to produce and ship bootleg interfaces.; Even though Stark managed to get all the eScapers off the system before the villain revealed himself, the Controller facilitated access to hostile users who had been previoulsy banned. The Controller additionally allied himself with Baintronics, making use of one of their manufacturing and fulfillment center to supply logged-in users all over the world with real-life weapons to unwittingly wreak havoc on their surroundings.; While Iron Man went after the Controller, Jocasta enlisted Machine Man's help and had him use his skeleton key to access the eScape and help solve the crisis.

History: The Pro-Spider Slayers were an army of drones funded by TNM to be paired with Spider-Man when he was under the employment of the news outlet and wore a suit that allowed him to livestream his crime-fighting antics. Each drone was controlled remotely via phone by TNMs viewers. The drones were unveiled by J. Jonah Jameson during TNMs first transmission with a studio audience, when Spider-Man had joined forces with former members of the New Avengers to stop a contingent of crime bosses from helping the Kingpin find the final piece of the Lifeline Tablet. The drones were deployed, and they helped the heroes fight the villains. However, in addition to causing property damage, competitiveness between the drones' pilots caused them to turn against each other. ============================================================ Project Koukou Kind: item Page: Project Koukou Other aliases: Project Koukou Type: Wide Range Explosive First appearance: Rise of the Black Panther Vol 1 3 Created by: Christopher Priest; Sal Velluto Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Wakandan Lead designer: S'Yan Additional designers: Eldar Takami Place of creation: Wakanda Place of destruction: Wakanda Previous owners: Wakanda; N'Jadaka, Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda Material: Vibranium Model: 1.0 Properties: The Vibranium Shock Bomb system uses advanced stealth propulsion engine designs conceived by Queen N'Yami; implemented by T'Chaka's brother S'Yan as a means to carry it over long distances into low orbit. Undetected by would be aggressors and colonizers until the moment of deployment via the carrier pilot. Afterwards it would soak up all the energy produced from any counter offensive faced against it to increase Koukou's blast yield astronomically. Giving it destructive power equivocal to or greater than that of a nuclear warhead at the moment of detonation. Due to the conservative nature of the weapon a secondary defense system was devised for the airborne transport haul the device is ferried in. To that end a specialized automated protectorate known as the Pouncers were engineered to run interference over a designated target area before the Vibranium charge could be properly deployed upon it's intended mark. History: Project Koukou, a Vibranium crafted Shock Bomb petitioned using the advanced aeronautics propulsion system developed by Prince T'Challa's birth mother N'Yami as a means of carrying it into position. A project which the reluctant Takami quite the royal sci-dev wing in the late King & Queen's employ out of disgust.; Both during and before T'Challa's ascent to the throne of Wakanda, the furthering of Koukou became a topmost secretive priority. Particularly after the king willingly revealed his fiefdoms presence to the wider world at large.; Princess Shuri, sister to the Black Panther, was horrified upon discovering it's existence and the purpose of the shock bomb's design while combing through intelligence files to aid her sibling against the Winter Soldier. Going so far as to confront her Uncle to inquire as to what went through his mind when she created something that went against everything she & her brother were brought up believing in since they were old enough to walk. The irate royal adjacent leaving incensed at how liberal her kin was with developing a tool of aggression that flew in the face of his own and the realms teachings.; After telling her King the hidden truth S'Yan had been keeping from coming to light. T'Challa felt the same level of aghast she had when first discovering such an abhorrent project. Whence after speaking on his nations behalf at the United Nations assembly and bringing the long missing N'Jadaka back home where he belonged.; The Panther Lord would seek to confront his uncle, inquisiting on his wayward decision to devise what he described as warmongering. In the meantime however, Erik lured Elder Takami to a secluded lab area at the Wakandan Instutue and slew him to pull information on it from his mind.; N'Jadaka, now going by Erik Killmonger, sought to initiate global conflict. Pitting all of the world against the Golden Realm in a mad scheme to topple the continental powers and assert the hidden nation as it's predominant rulers when they storm out and conquer all beneath their survey. To accomplish this, he would set out by prepping the doomsday weapon he chanced upon whilst siphoning the dead elders secrets to demolish a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier ferrying some officials seeking to discuss partnership treaties to spark internal strife so as to push any remaining councilmen to oust the reigning Black Panther and go to war with the rest of the Planet.; He would utilize the Shock Bomb carrier's defenses; the Pouncers, to cause mass destruction all across Wakanda to distract his hated liege long enough to drop it over the foreign delegates and spark his world war. But Killmonger's plans would be stymied by the domains protector, whom managed to safely disable the shock bomb before it could destroy delicate peace negotiations. ============================================================ Prize Kind: item Page: Prize Formal name: The Prize Other aliases: Warlord's Prize Type: Artifact First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 6 35 Created by: Dan Slott; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Nathaniel Richards Current owner: Reed Richards Previous owners: Nathaniel Richards History: The artifact christened "the Prize" was created by the time-traveller Nathaniel Richards before his passing. To ensure that it was found by his firstborn, Reed Richards, he split the device into four parts and scattered each in the Baxter Building at different points in time of Reed's timeline.; Following the latest reconstruction of the Baxter Building, the facility's new security systems detected the presence of one of the pieces of the Prize. After the Fantastic Four discovered it, they became aware of Immortus's plan to acquire it. Immortus was a future descendant of Nathaniel Richards, who had deemed the Prize the single greatest treasure in the universe. Believing that his past selves, Kang, Scarlet Centurion and Rama-Tut, deserved to inherit the Prize as much as he did, Immortus summoned them at the Ark of History in Neverspace. Posing as a new counterpart of Kang called Scion, Reed infiltrated the gathering and pretended to join the hunt for the pieces.; Each of Immortus' variants arrived at different points of the Fantastic Four's history and slaughtered the heroes in the process of obtaining their respective piece of the Prize. Reed secretly intruded on each mission, saving one member of each incarnation of the Fantastic Four from their doom. When Immortus' younger selves returned to the Ark, Scion revealed his ruse and his true identity, and led the time-displaced Fantastic Four in defeating them. After the Time Variance Authority arrested the villains and reset the timelines where they had murdered the Fantastic Four, Reed returned to his present with all the pieces of the Prize. He reconstructed the device, which turned out to be a posthumous recording of Nathaniel Richards revealing to Reed the existence of his half-sister. ============================================================ Project A.R.K. Kind: item Page: Project A.R.K. Formal name: Project A.R.K. Type: Technology First appearance: Hulk Vol 5 1 Created by: Donny Cates; Ryan Ottley Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Celestial corpse converted into a wormhole generator by Tony Stark Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Former Stark tech armory, Wundagore Mountain Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 History: After Knull's invasion of Earth, Tony Stark used the corpse of a Celestial he took control of during the invasion and converted it into a wormhole generator powered by the Celestial's energy that led to a pocket dimension that civilians could evacuate to safety to during a crisis. He built the machine in a former Stark tech armory in Wundagore Mountain. However, the bunker was attacked by the Bruce Banner who took control of the Hulk. After Stark failed to stop Banner from entering the bunker, Banner planned to pass through the wormhole. Stark warned Banner not to as he hadn't finished with the math and there was no telling Banner would end up. Banner didn't listen and passed through the wormhole. ============================================================ Prototype Armor (Earth-38264) Kind: item Page: Prototype Armor (Earth-38264) Formal name: Prototype Armor Type: Technology; Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers (video game) Created by: Shaun Escayg; Morgan W.

It is unconfirmed whether this item is for sale via Magnum Munitions or Moses Magnum sells it through another company or means. History: The Powerprison 170 is one of the weapons designed by Moses Magnum to be sold in the open marked, with catalog number MM1313170. Although the cell generated the impression of energy bars with space between them, it really contained everything even between the bars.; The Powerprison is a portable, fast-deploying energy cage, that has self-sealing capabilities and is strong enough to keep the superpowered Avengers imprisoned, at least for a short amount of time. It was confirmed to block microwaves-bursts shot by Firestar. The cell's coherence can be controlled using other Magnum technologies, including Power-Podium 310, which provides a dashboard.; When Magnum's private army the Magnum Shells staged an attack on passenger planes in the John F. Kennedy International Airport, the Avengers tried to stop them, and then the Shells used the Powerprison to capture the Avengers. The Podium was then sabotaged by Triathlon, another superhero joining the fight, and the cell stopped working. The Shells were defeated, but they were really just a distraction for Magnum's real plan. ============================================================ Protection Circle (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Protection Circle Type: Spell First appearance: Agatha All Along Season 1 4 Created by: Rachel Goldberg; Giovanna Sarquis Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Magical Current owner: Agatha Harkness Previous owners: Alice Wu-Gulliver Properties: Protection: This circle could protect a subject from magical attacks. While creating a circle around the subject (either with salt or craving with a knife), speak the incantation "expelle hoc malum!" Trivia: Translated from Latin into English, the incantation "expelle hoc malum!" means "expel this evil!". History: During the second trial of The Witches' Road, when the Curse began attacking her coven, Alice created circles to protect first Lilia and then Jennifer.; When Agatha faced Death after escaping The Witches' Road, she attempted to protect herself by casting Alice's protection circle. ============================================================ Psi-Phon Kind: item Page: Psi-Phon Formal name: Psi-Phon Type: Headset; Essence transfer device First appearance: Marc Spector: Moon Knight Vol 1 41 Created by: Terry Kavanagh; Gary Kwapisz Reality: Earth-616; Earth-TRN1436 Lead designer: Magus Previous owners: Moon Shade Alternate owners: Marc Spector, Doctor Emmet History: Moon Shade, an evil doppelgänger of Moon Knight created by Magus, teamed up with a doppelganger of Franklin Richards. Using the Psi-Phon, the pair attempted to absorb the full life essence and powers of Franklin. They were pursued by Moon Knight who was able to stop them from absorbing all of Franklin's powers. However, Moon Shade took what power they had absorbed, used some to kill the Franklin doppelganger and began to use Psi-Phon to absorb all Moon-Knights from across reality. ============================================================ Psycho-Projector Kind: item Page: Psycho-Projector Formal name: Psycho-Projector Type: Technology First appearance: Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD Vol 1 14 Created by: Gary Friedrich; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: SHIELD Place of creation: S.H.I.E.L.D.

Once this threshold was reached, they were transferred into the Microverse. This intermediate phase was typically disorienting, and those who passed through did not necessarily emerge at the same location within the Microverse.; Travel between the two realities through the Pit could produce inconsistent physical effects. Microverse natives entering Earth via this method were sometimes enlarged to human size, unlike other methods of travel that left them only a few inches tall. Conversely, individuals returning to Earth generally retained their standard proportions. In some cases, travelers from Earth experienced unexpected increases in size upon arrival in the Microverse, though this phenomenon was irregular and not fully understood.; When inactive, the Prometheus Pit existed as a physical structure with a tangible base capable of accumulating matter such as rainwater. Variants of similar technology were also employed within the Microverse itself, where they enabled transit between locations without altering the size of those using them, and were used in conjunction with energy sources tied to the structure of that universe. History: A version of the Prometheus Pit was reconstructed on Earth through research derived from earlier theoretical work on subatomic exploration. The device became the focal point of a conflict involving Carnage, who was freed from captivity by a group of rogue Microns seeking access to a new universe. In exchange for their assistance, Carnage agreed to enter the Microverse through the Pit and unleash destruction on its inhabitants.; The portal was activated after Dr. Ketola was forced to unlock it, allowing Carnage to pass through while taking Katy Kiernan with him. Attempts to prevent his escape by Scarlet Spider failed, and the Pit remained the only means of pursuing him into the Microverse.; Subsequently, both Scarlet Spider and Agent Venom used the Prometheus Pit to follow Carnage, despite uncertainty regarding their point of arrival. Their passage initiated a larger conflict within the Microverse, where multiple factions sought to exploit the presence of the symbiotes and the access the Pit provided between dimensions. ============================================================ The Promethean Flame Kind: item Page: The Promethean Flame Formal name: The Promethean Flame Other aliases: The Flame of Prometheus First appearance: Avengers #48 Created by: George Tuska; Roy Thomas Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Olympus (Realm) Current owner: Zeus Properties: The Promethean Flame is a mystical force of vast immense power that has sustained the Olympian gods since the time of the Titans, giving them immortality, vitality, and vast powers. While it’s a near-infinite source for the Olympians, it’s not necessarily an unlimited cosmic power source in the broader Marvel Universe. It is, however, extremely powerful, with the potential to immensely empowering the Olympian gods under the right conditions. It's true limits are undefined. If tapped into and manipulated correctly, it could likely achieve near-limitless power, but its growth would likely be constrained by factors like the will and the nature of its wielders.; Residing in the temple of the Promethean Flame at the Hall of Zeus on Mount Olympus, this flame is the absolute source of the Olympians' full potential and strength.; However, should the flame ever be extinguished, the Olympians would lose the ability to maintain their physical forms, becoming insubstantial spirits banished to Hades, unable to interact with the physical world. They would remain in this spiritual state until the flame is rekindled. History: Very little known about the Promethean Flame other than virtually all Olympian gods are thus bound to the Promethean Flame located in the Temple of the Promethean Flame in the Hall of Zeus in Olympus. Since the times of the titans, this flame has empowered the Olympians; if it is doused, the Olympians are banished to Hades as insubstantial spirits until such time as it is restored. ============================================================ Provisional Anti-Mutant Pacification Act (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Provisional Anti-Mutant Pacification Act Formal name: Provisional Anti-Mutant Pacification Act Other aliases: Executive Order 3144 Type: Law First appearance: Ultimate Comics X-Men Vol 1 1 Created by: Nick Spencer Reality: Earth-1610 Lead designer: United States Congress Notes: } History: The Provisional Anti-Mutant Pacification Act was an anti-mutant executive order approved by the acting US President Barack Obama after the destruction of New York City during the Ultimatum event. Blaming mutants as a whole for the event, the order was approved to apprehend any mutant citizens remaining in the US to be placed into internment camps called "Containment Centers" or executed on sight if they refused capture and containment. Under the order, the Mutant Response Squad was established to hunt down and capture any suspected mutants across the country. ============================================================ Psi-Amplifier Kind: item Page: Psi-Amplifier Formal name: Psi-Amplifier Type: Technology First appearance: Giant-Size Super-Stars Vol 1 1 Created by: Gerry Conway; Rich Buckler Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Reed Richards Additional designers: Bruce Banner Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Reed Richards Properties: The Psi-Amplifier was a device developed by Reed Richards at the Baxter Building. It was designed to amplify and manipulate psychic processes, although its full intended purpose was not established before Bruce Banner attempted to use it. History: After Bruce Banner visited Reed Richards seeking a cure for his condition, he learned from the Thing that Reed had been developing the device. Banner conceived a plan to use the Psi-Amplifier to cure both himself of his transformations into the Hulk and Ben Grimm of his transformation into the Thing.; While Banner was using the machine on Ben, he unexpectedly began transforming into the Hulk. The Hulk attempted to destroy the Psi-Amplifier, causing a powerful explosion. Although both the Hulk and the Thing survived, the blast produced an unforeseen effect: their minds were transferred into each other's bodies.; The resulting body swap led to a confrontation between the Hulk and the Thing, with each believing himself to be facing the other. Reed Richards eventually determined what had happened and devised a method to reverse the effect. After the Hulk's body was rendered unconscious with a large dose of tranquilizer, Banner's mind returned to his own body and the Thing and Hulk's minds were restored to their original bodies. ============================================================ Quantum Bands Kind: item Page: Quantum Bands Formal name: Quantum Bands Other aliases: Bangle; Power Bands of Rinn; Quantum-Bands; Omni-Bands Type: Technology; Energy Weapon; Gauntlets; Rings First appearance: Marvel Boy Vol 1 2 Created by: Roy Thomas; George Perez Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999; Earth-6160 Origin: Quantum Zone Lead designer: Eon Additional designers: Protector of the Universe Current owner: Avril Kincaid; Wendell Vaughn Previous owners: Annihilus; Blue Marvel; Maelstrom; Nova; Phyla-Vell; Thelius; Uranian Alternate owners: Ms. Marvel; Silver Surfer; Starhawk; Captain Marvel Model: Unique Version: Unique Properties: The bands draw energy from the Quantum Zone, the realm of potential energy from which all actual energy in the Marvel Universe derives. Although the Quantum Zone usually supplies the wielder with unlimited power, the Quantum Bands also maintain a finite store of energy within themselves. If the power from the Quantum Zone were ever inaccessible or somehow blocked, the Quantum Bands would be forced to rely on this stored energy and would become useless once that energy had been totally drained.; Once donned, the Quantum Bands interface with the nervous systems of their wearers, enabling them to control the functions of the bands via mental commands.; The bands give their wearer control over the electromagnetic spectrum and can be used to drain most forms of energy from beings or mechanisms in their vicinity. The bands can also project energy at any wavelength desired by the wielder or project beams of concussive force. However, the bands cannot be used to control either psionic energy or magical energy because those energies lie outside of the electromagnetic spectrum.; The Quantum Bands can also be used to absorb energy and de-energize opponents. Life energies from beings who have recently died can also be absorbed and used for power. In desperate circumstances, specific souls can find refuge in the bands until they can be restored to their proper bodies.; The bands can be programmed to perform certain automatic functions, such as detecting energy sources, sensing the approach of incoming energy fluctuations of sufficient power to do harm and automatically absorbing that energy, shielding the wearer when they leave an atmosphere into space, protecting the wearer from external mental control, etc.; Wendell Vaughn (Earth-616) and Lomen (Earth-616) from Quasar Vol 1 4 002.jpg|Fists; Wendell Vaughn (Earth-616) from Quasar Vol 1 2 001.jpg|Sword; Wendell Vaughn (Earth-616) from Quasar Vol 1 3 001.jpg|Shield; Wendell Vaughn (Earth-616) and Kevin Brackett (Earth-616) from Quasar Vol 1 3 001.jpg|Net; Wendell Vaughn (Earth-616) and Omnivore (Earth-616) from Quasar Vol 1 8 001.jpg|Mace; Wendell Vaughn (Earth-616) and Lomen (Earth-616) from Quasar Vol 1 4 001.jpg|Barrier; Wendell Vaughn (Earth-616) and Peter Parker (Earth-616) from Quasar Vol 1 7 001.jpg|Binds; Wendell Vaughn (Earth-616) from Quasar Vol 1 33 001.jpg|Armor, etc.; The Quantum Bands can be used to create quantum-constructs, quasi-solid energy constructs that can be any shape that the wearer can visualize. Once formed, these constructs are permanent and remain in existence until destroyed or the wearer chooses to deconstruct them. They are often used as protective force fields or to maintain a habitable environment during space travel.; The Quantum Bands enable their wearers to fly through space. The wearer can also "Quantum Jump" by opening a wormhole in spacetime, allowing them to travel vast distances. Quantum Jumps can be used to travel to the Quantum Zone, and they can also be used to enter and exit to the White Room. Maelstrom used the bands to find and go to the Eonverse. The bands can open the portal to the Eonverse even after Eon's death.; The bands also provided an instantaneous communications link to Eon, it currently provides one to Epoch, and it can connect to other people too.; The bands can bend light around themselves to appear invisible, allowing the wearer to go around unnoticed. They can also make their normally visible constructs invisible. It is not known if the wearer could extend this to allowing themselves to be cloaked or allow image induction, but it is theoretically possible.; The bands are able to augment the wearer's physical strength and durability. Although any wearer could do so, Quasar never realized that they could, unlike his predecessor, Thelius, who used them to give himself superhuman strength and prowess.; Although the Quantum Bands have long existed in the form of two 3-inch wrist-bands that fit on the arms of their wearers, at times in the past they have existed as a single object, a Quantum Band that was worn as a belt or necklace by Protectors who did not have arms. In at least one case, the Quantum Band existed as a crown that floated above a Protector whose form was gaseous. Presumably it was Eon who controlled what form the bands would take in accordance with the needs of the beings he had selected to be the next Protector.; Whatever their form, the Quantum Bands are made of an unknown black metal and each of them are studded with seven smooth golden gems of an unknown composition. However, at some times in the past, for reasons that have not been revealed, the metal portions of the bands have been as golden as the gems. The Quantum Bands are at least five billion years old but have never shown any sign of reduced functionality. The Quantum Bands are indestructible, and while the Ultimate Nullifier can nullify them, they will rematerialize somewhere else in the universe.; In the past, once the Quantum Bands had been donned by their wearers, they would bond to their bodies and could not be removed until they died, not even by Eon. In the event that a body part to which a Quantum Band had been bonded was detached from the rest of its wearer's still-living body, the organic material within the band would become extremely durable and unremovable, preventing the band from being worn. Once the wearer actually died, then the bands would come loose from the wearer's body part. However, in recent years, it has been possible to remove the bands from their wearers while they were still alive, as when Phyla-Vell took them from Annihilus.; While they were being worn, some of the life essences of the wearers would be retained within the bands. Upon the deaths of the wearers, those residues of life essence would be transmitted to a pocket dimension known as the White Room where they would manifest as spirits that animated copies of their bodies that were composed of the matter of Eon's body. Notes: The Quantum Bands have no control over magic or telepathy. However, Quasar was able to make himself immune to mental control by programming his bands to automatically protect him from any detected attempt at such control by setting up a jamming frequency that would keep any psionic energy out of his head. History: The Quantum Bands were unique energy-manipulating devices of incredible power and relics of the Kree Empire. Although some texts claim that Eon created them, the exact origin of the Quantum Bands has never been revealed so it's possible that Eon actually acquired them from some unknown source. The ascended Eternal Kronos gave a set of Bands to his son Mentor and Sui-San for their wedding, an event which Eon attended.; With the exception of the Kree Captain Mar-Vell, all of the chosen Protectors have worn the Quantum Bands, beginning with Glakandar, the very first Protector who was appointed by Eon five billion years ago. Eon usually controlled who possessed the Quantum Bands but sometimes random chance caused them to fall into the wrong hands, allowing them to be used by beings who were unworthy of them.; The Quantum Bands are believed to be the weapons known to the Kree as the legendary "Power-Bands of Rinn" that were the prototype for the powerful Nega-Bands. It has been observed that they bear a certain resemblance to the Kree Uni-Beam weapon.; Sometime between 200,000 years ago and the present, the Quantum Bands were acquired by Kronos and given as rings to Kronos' son Mentor (A'Lars) and Sui-San for their wedding, attended by Eon. Mentor had asked his father to circumvent Eternal biology that prevented them from having true Eternal children (able to be added to the Machine that is Earth) and the rings allowed the couple to conceive two true Eternal sons, Thanos and Eros, although the former ended up being a disaster. When Thanos killed his mother, Mentor angrily threw the Quantum Band rings at his father and Kronos declared that they would oppose Thanos' villainy, always.; Thanos once used the Infinity Gauntlet to resurrect four previous Protectors and equip them with fully-functional replicas of the Quantum Bands. Three of those replicas may have been destroyed when Quasar used the original bands to overload them with energy in order to destroy the attacking bioduplicates. The fourth pair remains in the possession of the last bioduplicate, Blue Marvel. ============================================================ Pumpkin Bombs Kind: item Page: Pumpkin Bombs Formal name: Pumpkin Bombs Other aliases: Goblin Bomb Type: Grenades First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 17 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Lead designer: Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) Current owner: Green Goblin (Norman Osborn); Hobgoblin; Crime-Master's Jack O'Lantern; Jack O'Lantern (Steven Levins); Jack O'Lantern (Owen Ward) Previous owners: Green Goblins:; Bart Hamilton; Harry Osborn; Construct; Hobgoblins:; Jason Macendale Jr.; Demogoblin; Spider-Man ("Peter Parker" / Otto Octavius); Virus (Mac Gargan); Goblin Nation; Harry Lyman Alternate owners: Daniel Berkhart (Earth-41940) History: The Green Goblin first experimented with his notorious Pumpkin Bombs while in combat against Spider-Man and the Human Torch at the Avenue Dinner Club.; A while later, the Green Goblin shot some smoke bombs against Lucky Lobo's men to confuse them.; The Green Goblin then tossed stun bombs against the Crime Master, who was hidden by the smoke exhausted by the Goblin Glider.; A short time later, he concocted a gas Pumpkin Bomb to prevent Spider-Man's Spider-Sense from working.; Goblin also used the Pumpkin Bombs as stunners, as well as a special anti-Spider-Man explosive.; He later used another gas Pumpkin Bomb against Spidey, emitting vapors that made Spider-Man's head begin to spin. He also threw some Pumpkin Bombs at him to keep him off-balance, in order to safely escape on his Goblin Glider.; During their next fight, the Green Goblin used some glue bombs to stun Spidey, and then hurled at him a new kind of Pumpkin Bomb: one that soaked through his costume, and took away Spider-Man's ability to adhere to any surface.; A Pumpkin Bomb was later used by Hobgoblin to blow up a building in Brooklyn where he was hiding a number of previously abducted children and parents.; A box of unused Pumpkin Bombs were later found by Spider-Man in the abandoned Osborn Industries building.; Hobgoblin used several Pumpkin Bombs against the Scarlet Spider to collapse the whole ceiling and bury him underneath.; He also hurled a Pumpkin Bomb against Kaine, who was eventually saved by the Scarlet Spider.; The Pumpkin Bombs were also used by the new Green Goblin against Firefist.; A short time later, Hobgoblin hurled a Pumpkin Bomb that exploded and destroyed the factory where Cell-12 was in.; When he kidnapped Spider-Man, Norman Osborn used a gas pumpkin specially designed to interact with his blood chemistry, making Spidey disoriented and weak.; Several Pumpkin Bombs were used to blow up the warehouse on the East River where Spider-Man and The Punisher were confronting Shotgun.; The Green Goblin construct used another Pumpkin Bomb to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge and block the police.; A while later, pumpkin bombs were used against the guards who were protecting Roderick Kingsley from being kidnapped.; Hobgoblin then employed a gas-goblin to stop Spider-Man from rescuing Daniel Kingsley.; Some Pumpkin Bombs were left behind by the Green Goblin to leave no witnesses. He later threw a Pumpkin Bomb to let Spider-Man and Aunt May escape his mansion in Upstate New York.; When the Green Goblin was finally defeated by Spider-Man, one last Pumpkin Bomb, more powerful than ever before, detonated just below the Daily Bugle Building.; ===Carnage-Bomb===; When Norman bonded with Carnage symbiote, he was capable of creating bombs augmented with symbiote biomass, letting him speak through them. These Carnage-Bombs didn't set off Spider-Man's Spider-Sense, and could bite into targets with their fanged jaws. ============================================================ Pym Particles Kind: item Page: Pym Particles Formal name: Pym Particles Other aliases: Cross Particles; Stark Particles Type: Drug; Material First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 27 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Rare group of subatomic particles originally discovered by Dr. Hank Pym, which could increase or decrease the size and mass of objects or living beings Lead designer: Dr. Hank Pym Additional designers: Vernon van Dyne, Janet van Dyne Place of creation: Pym's Laboratory, New York City, New York State Current owner: Cassie Lang; Darren Cross; Eric O'Grady (LMD); Erik Josten; Hank Pym; Janet Van Dyne; Lang Memorial Penitentiary; Nadia Van Dyne; Raz Malhotra; Scott Lang; Tom Foster; Humberto Lopez; Ultron Previous owners: Bill Foster; Clint Barton; Eric O'Grady; Frank Castle; Hank McCoy; Katerina van Horn; Michael Stockton; Rita DeMara Material: Kirbons Properties: Size Alteration: The primary facet of Pym Particles is their enabling of changing ones height, weight and resiliancy. Mainly by acurring or shunting additional body of matter from a subatomic plane of existence and streamlining it along an axis of three vectors governing howm far along the spectrograph users wish to enhance or deminish certain facilities. Prolonged usage of said materia ingrains the power into their very geneological structure, making the effect permenant and enabling those affected to access these abilities at will.; Size Addition: Through the acquisition of mass from the Kosmos Dimension, Pym Particles allow their users to grow to massive sizes, including hundreds of feet in height. This leads to a great increase in strength and durability. However, the larger someone grows, the more strength that is required to hold up the person's heavy body. This can put enormous strain on the person's body.; Size Reduction: Through mass extensions into an extra-dimensional space, Pym Particles users can shrink down to very small sizes. Because they don't lose any mass, users retain their level of strength while at normal height. The Pym Particles allowed the user to bypass the Square-cube law of physics.; Self Sustenance: According to the Beast, Pym Particles can sustain their users while small, eliminating the need for air and food.; Enter Other Planes of Existence: Pym Particles can either allow users to shrink to sub-microscopic stature or act as a conduit for accessing alt. worlds. When 99.99+% of a user's mass is extra-dimensionally shunted, he or she will be sent into a "subatomic universe" or "microverse," one of the countless alternate universes accessible to Earth only by the mass-shunting process. The reverse can also be done and the Overspace can be entered if a user grows large enough.; Physical Augmentation: During his time as an instructor at the Future Foundation, Scott Lang determined that the particle is capable of effecting not only a user's size, but also their strength and durability. This functionality is what allows The Vision to alter his density, and is the origin of The Vision's, Wonder Man's, and Atlas's strength and resilience. It was revealed that the Lang family tree possesses an inordinate ability to acclimate the power of the Pym Particles in ways that others cannot. Scott Lang figured out the means of using them to alternate his physiological capabilities without the need of magnifying his size.; Anti-Magic: Being the onset of primal minutia called Kirbons, Pym Particles have copious quantities of hard science which can negate most forms of magic these iotic units of matter are faced with. When properly condensed into tangible form, it takes the semblance of a special metallic substance called Mysterium.; Density Manipulation: Beyond altering size via mass transference to bequeath greater strength & resilience, the Pym Particles can also modulate physical opacity to enable users becoming physically impermissible for gliding on air currents or simple weightlessness. As well as delineate hyper density to make one robust enough to withstand incredible impacts & abrasion. This is something the murderous automata Ultron had gifted to his own creation; Energy Augmentation & Bestowal: An unknown facet of the particle element begets an augmented bio-energy field which naturally enhances inherent ergokinetic stores, enabling host users the ability to discharge bio-electric energy projections potent enough to set the CNS ablaze for disorienting or incapacitating organic entities, if not outright sheering clean through non-biological attributes like wood, rebar or concrete with relative ease.; ===Repeated Exposure===; Repeated, long-term exposure to Pym Particles can result in the subject's body naturally producing its own Pym Particles. Such is the case for Pym, Janet van Dyne, Cassie Lang, and Nadia van Dyne, among others.; Adverse Effects: Pym Particles exert a large amount of physical and mental strain on the subject's body. Pym personally has had many mental breakdowns because of using his own discovery.; Ion-Flux Matrix: Overuse of the Y angle of the multi axis power formula of pym particle make-up could saturate a persons anatomy; Clear Notes: Reed Richards claims to know more about Pym Particles than Hank Pym himself.; Onome and Bentley-23; Zrixa's society found exotic particles in their sun that could be used to alter the size of objects. Whether they are Pym Particles or something similar is unclear.; Clear History: ===Origin===; Kirbons are primordial subatomic particles that give matter its size, mass and density, originating in the Mystery predating and surrounding the current cosmos. First discovered by Dr. Hank Pym, Pym "tamed" the particles for use within the living body and named the resulting invention after himself; "Pym Particles" that allowed the user to bypass the Square-cube law of conventional physics.; Originally, Pym Particles were only used to increase or decrease the size and mass of inanimate objects. With some alterations, Pym was able to deviate the stature of living subjects as well. The Pym Particles work by shunting bodies of matter into the Kosmos Dimension when shrinking a subject or accruing extra mass from that plane of existence when enlarging them. See Conservation of Energy for details.; In their original formula, these Pym Particles existed in a liquid elixir form which would shrink objects or living beings on which it was applied. Later, Pym was able to synthesize Pym Particles into a gaseous form for quick shrinking results by inhalation. He created a special uniform that safely harnessed Pym Particles to allow him to control his size at will.; The Scarlet Beetle, a mutated insect, used Pym Particles to grow to human size, but was defeated and shrunk back down to his normal size.; Pym enhanced Janet van Dyne in a biochemical process involving his Pym Particles that allowed her to shrink to insectoid proportions, in addition to implanting her with Bio-Synthetic Wings. Furthermore, Pym outfitted her with her own suit adorning wrist devices that allowed her to discharge blasts of compressed air that she called her "wasp's stings".; Porcupine battled Pym and grabbed several Pym Particle capsules from his belt, thinking they were growing capsules, and used them all on himself. However, the Porcupine realized he had made a grave error when he shrank in size. Pym could not stop the process and soon lost him when he shrunk to microscopic size.; The Fantastic Four were plagued by a series of incidents where they suddenly shrank to miniature size and suddenly returned to normal, so they called on Pym for help. He gave Reed Richards a sample of his shrinking gas and left to see what he could discover in his lab. Reed used the Particles to shrink down to travel to the Microverse and Pym followed shortly thereafter.; On Planet X, Kurrgo convinced the Fantastic Four to save his race or perish along with them. Reed Richards used the Xanth equipment to manufacture large amounts of Pym Particles in the form of reducing gas. This enabled the entire population to fit inside one ship and escape the destruction of their planet. Reed gave Kurrgo the enlarging gas to be used to allow them to return to normal size when they reached their new destination. However, Kurrgo's hunger for power got the better of him, thinking that once on the new planet he could be the only one to return to normal size, enabling him to become absolute ruler, so Kurrgo attempted to keep the enlarging capsule to himself. But he was not able to carry the capsule to the ship in time, and was left behind as the planet began to undergo massive earthquakes; ironically, Reed Richards later revealed to his teammates that he was not able to create any enlarging gas and that the second capsule had been empty. He figured that since the size was all relative, being tiny on their new planet wouldn't matter.; S.H.I.E.L.D. brought in Hank Pym to use a large batch of Pym Particles against Godzilla. However, the monster grabbed Dum Dum Dugan before they could take effect. The Godzilla Squad then engaged on a wild goose chase to try and capture the now shrinking Godzilla. He was finally caught by Dr. Hawkins who used a net on the beast once it had become the size of a regular lizard.; Baron Zemo, using Pym Particle-charged ion bombardment, permanently altered Simon Williams, giving him incredible strength, speed and durability; later gaining the ability to change sizes indicating a connection between Pym's discovery and Heinrich's radiotherapy procedure. Erik Josten, with help from The Enchantress, would use said very same facilities that created Wonder Man for similar ends, before losing these abilities to Count Nefaria who took them and those of others as his own.; Dr. Karl Malus helped restore Daddy Longlegs to his normal size using Pym Particles. And while working with Josten, gave him new powers by enhancing him further using Pym Particles.; For a short time, Hawkeye used Pym Particles and operated under the name Goliath. He still keeps some particles in a Trick Arrow just in case.; Rita DeMara stole the original Yellowjacket's Suit from the Avengers Mansion, and modified it for her use. She clashed with Wasp. The Wasp easily captured the new Yellowjacket when DeMara became hysterical upon using her helmet's cybernetic size-control devices to shrink herself to a tiny size. At that time, DeMara could not adjust psychologically to being so small, although she later learned to do so.; Jerry Morgan a member of the Headmen, Jerry tried to replicate Pym's size-changing experiments but only managed to shrink his bones in his head, leaving his face hanging loose.; Scott Lang stole Ant-Man's Suit. Garbed as Ant-Man, Lang broke into Cross and discovered Dr. Sondheim was being held prisoner by Darren Cross, president of C.T.E., who needed Sondheim to correct his heart condition. Rescuing Sondheim and defeating Cross, Lang was relieved when Sondheim was able to save the life of his daughter. Lang intended to return the Ant-Man costume to its owner and turn himself in, but Pym offered to let him keep them, provided Lang put them to heroic use.; Biochemist Dr. Bill Foster worked in the Plans and Research Division for Tony Stark's Baltimore factory. He was hired to be the lab assistant of Dr Pym. Pym was stuck at the height of ten feet for a time and Dr Foster helped him find a cure to change his size back to normal. At some point discovered the formula for Pym Particles, which gave him the ability to grow in size like his former employer, taking the name Black Goliath.; Reed Richards started a rehabilitation program; with Fin Fang Foom, Elektro, Gorgilla, and Googam. He shrunk them with Pym Particles and gave them jobs in the Baxter Building.; Frank Castle has used Pym Particles on few occasions as part of his arsenal by shrinking to escape H.A.M.M.E.R. agents. He later infiltrated a stronghold of The Hood by hiding on a pizza, re-growing inside the head of a henchman.; The Big House was a maximum-security prison. The prison housed superhuman criminals shrunken by Dr. Pym's Pym Particles. Later it was expanded into Lang Memorial Penitentiary, sometimes jokingly referred to as the "Ant Farm."; When the Dark Avengers were trapped in an alternate reality that universe Hank Pym shrunk Ai Apaec with Pym Particles. When they escape Toxie Doxie stepped on a still-shrunken Ai Apaec, possibly killing him.; Pym had Starktech 9 fire a miniature form of Ares on a S.H.I.E.L.D. scooter at Ms. Marvel's mouth. Ultron detected a virus and destroyed the drone.; Beast taught the students their first class of biology. Using Toad as a test subject, Beast and the students shrink down to microscopic size and travel through Toad's body. Beast presented them with the X-Gene, and they traveled across the brain and the stomach. The class ended and they left Toad's body through one of his eyes.; Taskmaster and Deadpool traveled to Southern Nevada to try and score some weaponry-shrinking Pym Particles from a S.H.I.E.L.D. installation in the desert. Deadpool misheard Taskmaster and believed they were called "Pimp Articles."; Due to repeated exposure to Pym Particles from her father's suit Cassie Lang was able to alter her size at will. She did not learn of this until an argument erupted about Young Avengers membership, and Cassie began to grow at an alarming rate to everyone's surprise, including Cassie's.; Eric O'Grady and Chris McCarthy were S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents tasked with guarding Dr. Pym's lab. When Pym went to leave the lab, Eric and Chris panicked and attacked Pym, knocking him unconscious. Inside the lab, they found the most recent version of Ant-Man's Suit, which Chris put on and promptly activated, shrinking down. Chris was killed, and Eric took the suit off his body. Agent Mitch Carson was tasked with hunting down the person who had stolen the suit and given a less advanced prototype to aid him in his search.; After the death of his uncle Bill Foster during the first Superhuman Civil War, an embittered Tom Foster promised to crack the Pym Particle formula and avenge him by becoming the new Goliath.; Fixer equipped Man-Killer with size-altering Pym Particles. She was pitted against her former friend Atlas who defeated her due to him having more experience with size alteration.; The Fossilized Amulet of a future Reptil had been augmented by Pym Particles, allowing him to transform into full-sized dinosaurs. Later, the present-day Reptil received the same augmentation.; Wasp's body was transformed into a living Pym Particle explosion. In the infinite void of Underspace, her new form continued to expand the same way the universe expands, while the Infinite Avengers Mansion acted in a way to keep her from stable without dissipating. The ten billion Jocastas Pym created performed similarly to the ten billion neurons in the human body - reinforcing Janet's brain wave pattern.; Using Pym Particles, Shang Chi was turned into a giant, and defeated a recently resurrected dragon in combat, but before that, he tore off Gorgon's base from Madripoor and threw it several miles away.; When Augustine Cross forced Dr. Sondheim to revive his father via a heart transplant from Cassie Lang, the surgery had the unexpected side-effect of granting Darren Cross the size altering abilities associated with the Pym Particles. However, Darren was unfamiliar with their use resulting in the powers being an obstacle rather than a boon.; Franklin Nelson was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a type of cancer which formed in his hip. As chemotherapy was extremely expensive and painful, with the help of Hank Pym and his Pym Particles, Foggy began treating his tumor more directly.; Priya Aggarwal, concerned for Nadia's well-being following a violent altercation with the other members of G.I.R.L., donned Janet's original Wasp costume and chased after her friend into her Microverse lab. However, after talking Nadia down, she accidentally damaged the particle generator on the belt due to the costume being too small for her, forcing Nadia to fly her out before she'd return to normal size and accidentally kill herself.; ===American Kaiju===; Todd Ziller was a volunteer in the new Super-Soldier process. They could not recreate the serum so used existing transformative substances. The final result included Gamma enhancements, Mutant Growth Hormone, Pym Particles and the Connors Formula. The resulting application of the serum in Ziller's body turned him into a giant reptile similar to Godzilla, for which he was given the alias of "American Kaiju." ============================================================ The Pulse (Newspaper) (Earth-616) Kind: item Page: The Pulse (Newspaper) (Earth-616) Formal name: The Pulse Type: Newspaper First appearance: The Pulse Vol 1 1 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Mark Bagley Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Print Media; The Pulse was a supplementary magazine put out by the Daily Bugle Lead designer: J. Jonah Jameson Additional designers: Ben Urich, Jessica Jones, Kat Farrell Place of creation: Daily Bugle Building, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: The Daily Bugle History: ===Jessica Jones===; Jessica Jones met with Editor-in-Chief Robbie Robertson at the The Daily Bugle. He took her to meet J. Jonah Jameson, who blamed the decline of the newspaper industry before admitting that his relationship with Jessica has caused him to reconsider some of his belief regarding "costumed vigilantes." Jameson acknowledged that his personal disdain for superheroes is hurting his newspaper, and offered her a job as "a vigilante analyst" for "a special weekly section of the paper. Tentatively called The Pulse. , the stories for which will be written by Ben Urich. Jessica insisted on health insurance and a stable contract before admitting that she's pregnant with Luke's child, and Jameson requested that part of their deal will give the Bugle exclusive coverage of the announcement and birth. Jameson admitted that Ben's best reporting days may be behind him, but The Pulse is about her. Her new job caused argument between her and Luke. Kat Farrell met with Jessica and Urich in Central Park to bring them up to speed on the details of Kidder's death, and the three of them consider how many "flying people" life in New York City. Kat laments that S.H.I.E.L.D. will have to be called if "a flying guy" was involved. Ben met with Jessica, Kat, Jameson and Robertson and explains that Oscorp employees have been disappearing and he could prove that Norman Osborn was the Green Goblin. Despite his fears that running such a story "will look like a cheap vendetta" against Osborn, Jameson agreed to print Urich's article. Jameson instructed Jessica to go with Urich to notify the police, assuring her that she will be safe. But at Oscorp they are attacked by the Green Goblin. A blast knocked Jessica out the window but she is rescued by Spider-Man, but she worried she may have lost her baby. Jessica attacked the Goblin and the two brawl in mid-air. Osborn escaped as Spider-Man caught her. Luke met Jessica at the hospital as a doctor examined her, but the baby was fine. Cage then left the hospital, but claimed that he "can't let this go." However Norman is outed and arrested after a beat down by Luke for hurting Jessica.; ===Secret War===; When they returned to their apartment, Luke pressured a group of neighborhood kids to get him the name of a local drug-dealer who was selling to kids. Inside the apartment they discovered a woman who promptly destroyed the apartment with a massive energy blast. Knocking Cage into a coma Nick Fury travelled to Metro Hospital where he found Danny Rand and Jessica sitting with the comatose Cage. Jessica demanded to know why Fury came. A week after the attack at the hospital where Luke was being kept was attacked and Iron Fist was taken and the hospital was almost destroyed. During the investigation they learn that NicK Fury was involved and that the Daily Bugle will no report on any stories involving him due to losing future government access. Jessica was kidnapped by a group of Hydra agents lead by woman Special Agent Cohen. She explained that Luke was attacked because of his part in Nick Fury's "Secret War," and that they would help her find Luke. Jessica however refused their help, but Quatermain and his team arrived taking out the Hydra agents However they are able to find Luke at the Night Medical Center in Chinatown.Their tearful reunion was interrupted when a holographic projection of Fury appeared in the room and explained that Jessica will soon know why Luke was attacked.; ===Young Avengers===; She had a meeting with Kat and Jameson regarding the emergence of a teen superhero team that seemed to be mimicking the Avengers. She met with Iron Man and Captain America who told her more about the teen heroes. However, when they find the team they are attacked by Kang the Conqueror who threatened Iron Lad to return to his own time or it would change history and Jessica found herself back in her Jewel outfit and was no longer pregnant. Iron Lad complied and everything return to normal. The Avengers tell the young heroes parents about their children being superheroes, while Jessica personally visits Cassie Lang mother Peggy Rae . Kat wished to get an exclusive on the Young Avengers for the Bugle and asked Jessica to locate and ask them if they will comply. She visited them and found all about their lives before becoming heroes and particularly connects with Kate Bishop who revealed that she had been raped.; ===Danielle Cage===; Jessica Jones's water broke while she, Luke Cage and best friend Carol Danvers were picking out a new costume design for him. Carol Danvers rushed Jessica to the hospital. Jessica gave birth to a baby girl they named Danielle Cage. So, as payback against Jameson, she refused the newspaper exclusive rights to cover the 'celebrity birth' of their child. A short time after giving birth, Jessica wrote a piece for The Pulse that detailed the arrest of disgraced former social media beauty influencer Polly Devereux, her partner Arthur Simms, and his mother Ophelia Simms. In the same piece, she also interviewed Ophelia about her crimes. She also spoke to one of the rescued victims, Grace Partridge about her time under Ophelia's mind control and her newfound love of her imperfections. Jessica later told her daughter, Danielle, about the first time she met Luke. Jessica decided to consent to be his wife, though she had not informed Luke. However, she quit her job with The Daily Bugle after editor-in-chief J. Jonah Jameson used the paper to smear the New Avengers. ============================================================ Purple Gem Kind: item Page: Purple Gem Formal name: Purple Gem Other aliases: Purple Jewel; Many-Faceted Gem possibly Gems of Aggamon Type: Jewel First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 119 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange Properties: The Gems of Aggamon, Purple Jewel, or Purple Gem, are multifaceted gems which provide a means to enter (or become trapped in) the Purple Dimension, a realm ruled by the slaver Aggamon. The gem could be left behind while crossing the Purple Veil separating the Purple Dimension from the Earth Dimension.; The gem could also be used:; to amplify and focus the Eye of Agamotto's power; to entrap an opponent Trivia: In "Raiders of the Purple Veil" (Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Annual Vol 1 2), Clea and Aggamon erroneously state that Doctor Strange took the Purple Jewel from in Strange Tales Vol 1 119, while he in fact already had it before going to the Purple Dimension. Clea also states she can use the jewel to access the Purple Dimension, but carry the panel depicts her bringing it along anyway. Aggamon then states both that Clea returned what Strange had stolen away, while also stating Strange still possessed it (before mentioning a crystal designed to drain Faltinians of their life force). History: ===Modern Age===; Strange once attempted to use the Purple Gem to entrap Loki, but being a god, Loki resisted being sent to the Purple Dimension.; The mirror was found by Dr. Annabelle Riggs and presented during a lecture at the Institute for the Study of Ancient History.

The first 8 entries in the journal are about Punisher's revenge against his family's killers.; ===Stolen journal===; Later, the group called the Trust stole the War Journal. The Punisher's journal was wanted by many criminals, and the Trust sold many fake copies. The real journal was cast into the cement foundation of a new building, where it would remain for years.; ===New journal===; Frank Castle seemingly kept writing down entries afterwards, including about Spider-Man methods change towards stopping criminals.; ===Discovered back in 2099===; The War Journal was later rediscovered in the year 2099 by the Public Eye's cop Jake Gallows. On the last page of the journal, Gallows read: "He who find this, I charge you to carry on my work".

First time for everything, I suppose. I did promise Uncle Sam I'd let quarry live. They can get him. I hear the choppers now. And if quarry escapes? What can he do?

Razor had a red amulet, Talon had a blue amulet, and Gyre had a green amulet. History: The Raptor Amulet allows the user transfer their consciousness into an alien android while at the same time, switch the robotic body's place with that of his own body wherever he is at any time. The user's body is teleported to Null Space.; While escaping from crime lord Phillipe Bazin teenager Christopher Powell discovered an amulet and used it to become the hero Darkhawk.; ===Fiction===; There were six amulets. Alien crime lord Dargin Bokk gathered together a group of six scientists and created five androids. The scientists rebelled against Bokk but most were defeated. Bokk used one of the amulets to become Evilhawk. One of the amulets came into the possession of an alien named Kistur. Kistur was killed by Charles Little Sky who stripped the armor off this Darkhawk body and became the hero Portal. Darkhawk's amulet was created on Earth at a later date than the original five by two of the scientists Byron and Mondu. Two of the original 5 Darkhawk bodies were merged with Kistur's corpse to create Overhawk.; ===Reality===; It was discovered that these events did not happen and most of these characters did not exist. Most were figments of Christopher Powell's imagination after being unable to deal with the influx of information from his armor's Datasong. It was revealed that the amulets were created by the Shi'ar Empire and were used by the Fraternity of Raptors, an ancient order charged with furthering the best interests of their Empire through means of kidnapping and assassinations. The amulets were from the Tree of Shadows in the Null Space dimension. When a host was activated and became a Raptor their body was sent to a crystalline prison within the tree and a cybernetic Raptor takes their place. Christopher Powell was able to control his Raptor armor because the Shi'ar hadn't designed the amulets to not work with humans. Hosts from older races like the Kree and Skrulls could not exert any control of the Raptors as the Shi'ar hadn't accounted for their genetics. ============================================================ Quadranium 99 Kind: item Page: Quadranium 99 Formal name: Quadranium 99 Type: Material First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 15 Created by: Archie Goodwin; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Frightful Four; Medusa History: A rare sample of Quadranium 99 was stolen by Medusa on behalf of the Frightful Four. ============================================================ Rapture (Drug) (Earth-928) Kind: item Page: Rapture (Drug) Formal name: Rapture Type: Drug First appearance: Spider-Man 2099 Vol 1 1 Created by: Peter David; Rick Leonardi Reality: Earth-928 Lead designer: Alchemax Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Rapture is a highly addictive drug created by Alchemax.

The process was sabotaged and his DNA was spliced with the genes of a spider, gaining several powers and also losing his addiction to Rapture. ============================================================ Q.U.I.L.L.

Working with tech genius David Lieberman aka Microchip, together they have come up with various pieces of technology to help him in his war on crime.; ===Military Hardware===; Frank Castle mostly used conventional firearms, explosives, and knives. He collected most of his weapons from dead criminals. He cleans and services his weapons every other morning. Due to his extensive use of the rifle since war, Castle used an M16A3 fitted with an M203 grenade launcher, even though he hates 5.56 Ammunition. His backup firearm is a Derringer D32.; ===Body Armor===; Castle chose not to utilize any costume outside of a black shirt with a white skull splashed across the front. Each tooth of the skull was actually spare ammunition for firearms. Microchip helped create Punisher's Exo-Armor, a battlesuit which he used against the Reavers.; Punisher once harbored a Symbiote-lite exosuit based on the alien entity known as Venom created by Stuart Clarke. This Venomech System exomantel dubbed the Synthiote; simulated all the protective, reformulating and enhancement properties naturally bestowed by an alien Symbiote. Minus their recuperative biomass as it lacked the self-perpetuating ability to restore its substance with every blow taken, what it did have was the ability to magnify Frank's physical abilities as well as change appearances in order to generate guns out of it's artificial Constituent-Matter.; ===Vehicles===; Microchip created for him the Battle Van along with other armored vehicles such as the The Fury, motorcycles, helicopters and other aircraft and even a robot called "Dalek".; ===Animals===; Used to have a pet Rottweiler named "Max", whom he saved from animal poachers. Also had a pet coyote named "Loot", whom he saved from gang members.; ===S.H.I.E.L.D.===; When Stuart Clarke became Castle's personal hacker they gained access to a cache of S.H.I.E.L.D. technology and confiscated weaponry such as the Satan Claw He has been using a S.H.I.E.L.D. Flight Pack for many years.; ===Exotic Weapons===; When he began working with Henry Russo they began to collect custom gear from both heroes and villains such as Pumpkin Bombs, a Goblin Glider, Pym Particles, Ant-Man's Helmet, Doctor Octopus' Tentacles, Hawkeye's Bow and Trick Arrows, Captain America's Shield, etc. He also later stole a prototype Iron Man Armor and booby-trapped it to snare Iron Man after blasting Spider-Man and flying Rachel Cole-Alves to safety.; Some time after the Secret Invasion wherein Norman Osborn ascended to power, Castle added some alien artillery to his vast arsenal; e.i. a Skrull Sniper Rifle which can make an in impressive kill shot from several miles away.; As part of the Thunderbolts, Castle also used Blaze's Hellfire Shotgun, Uru shivs borrowed from Elsa Bloodstone, spirit guns reputedly owned by Carter Slade, and Mephisto's blade. Other colorful munitions which fell into his hands over the years include the War Machine Armor loaned to him by Nick Fury. Later adding Consecrated Hellfire Rounds for battling Ghost Riders as well as a special composite alloy knife made of a Vibranium/Adamantium mesh sharp enough to rend even the herald's of Galactus. ============================================================ Punisher's Exo-Armor Kind: item Page: Punisher's Exo-Armor Formal name: Punisher's Exo-Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Punisher Vol 2 34 Created by: Mike Baron; Bill Reinhold Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Microchip Additional designers: Punisher Current owner: Punisher Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: Part of the Punisher's Arsenal.

The group detected the hack and decided to seek revenge by trashing the Punisher's safe house, and then pursuing Microchip and Castle. Microchip created Punisher's Exo-Armor to level the playing field for Castle against the Reavers.; When Castle went rogue from the Thunderbolts, he used the armor to fight the Red Hulk. ============================================================ Pyramatrix Kind: item Page: Pyramatrix Formal name: Pyramatrix Type: Jewel First appearance: GLX-Mas Special Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Slott; Matt Haley Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Thanos Model: Unique History: The Pyramatrix is a pyramidal gem that can pull life force from planets.

Whenever it impacted a target, it exploded with a multi-colored flash and apparently disintegrates the target. This is a misconception: The target is suddenly shrunk in size. An impacted adult person suddenly becomes only seven to eight centimeters tall. Having become a Lilliputian, victims are considered to be no longer a threat; however, while the victims' physical attributes were greatly reduced, the material strenght of their posessions wass retained. While the shrinking process is permanent, it can be reverted from the missile control system by pressing a huge red button, and if the victims are in close proximity.; A camera in the missile's bow provides video streaming to the system console, with a range of up to five miles. Doctor Doom developed this technology and built at least one unit to protect Castle Doom in Latveria, along with other defensive systems of the castle.; At one point when Doom was believed dead, the Red Skull took over Castle Doom and managed to control Doom's technology. The Skull's enemy Captain America recruited Doom at the Latverian Embassy in New York City to confront the Skull. The Captain and Doom traveled to Latveria on a jet, but they were detected: The Skull first sent Heat-Seeking Drone Fighter Planes to intercept them and, when these failed, he sent the rainbow missile, which they were unable to dodge. The missile destroyed their plane and reduced them.; Doom however expected this and was relatively prepared. He led the Captain to Castle Doom through sewage ducts -that had never been thought to protect against such diminute intruders-, then they reached the throne room, where the Skull was meeting with several people including prospective ally the Sub-Mariner. The diminute Doom hurt the Skull's foot with a bolt from his gauntlet, announcing his presence. The Skull grabbed Doom in his hand, but then Doom convinced the Sub-Mariner to help him by promising to cure the Sub-Mariner's ill people. The Sub-Mariner agreed to press the button that Doom required. Doom and the Captain immediately grew to their original sizes and confronted the Skull. ============================================================ Randall Machine Kind: item Page: Randall Machine Formal name: Randall Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Immortal Iron Fist Vol 1 9 Created by: Ed Brubaker; Matt Fraction; David Aja Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: K'un-Lun History: The Randall Machine worked like a bridge between K'un-Lun and the world of men, allowing one to slip away undetected. ============================================================ Quantum-Tunnel Drill Bits (Earth-63163) Kind: item Page: Quantum-Tunnel Drill Bits Formal name: Quantum-Tunnel Drill Bits Type: Technology First appearance: Nextwave Vol 1 5 Created by: Warren Ellis; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-63163 Origin: Technology Previous owners: Assault Pterosuit Flock History: Quantum-Tunnel Drill Bits were used by the Assault Pterosuit Flock to try to kill Monica Rambeau, of the Nextwave Squad.

He also sprayed the same symbol over the body armor he wore while killing criminals.; Francis Castle Jr. (Earth-58732) from The Punisher (2004 film) 001.png; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; Castle found a heavy body armor inside the arsenal retrieved from Ray Schoonover. When he returned to his house, he sprayed a white skull symbol over it. Castle later destroyed the suit, after he seemingly had killed off all the parties involved in his family's murder.; Using another bulletproof vest he stole from the Greek mob, Castle decided to adopt the white skull symbol once again. Micro called it a "Memento Mori". Castle intended for it to strike fear into Billy Russo and his infiltration team when they infiltrated his safehouse, but Billy wasn't there. Castle wore the suit once more in his duel with Billy at the Central Park Carousel.; Francis Castle (Earth-199999) from Marvel's Daredevil Season 2 Promo 001.png ============================================================ Pyramoids Kind: item Page: Pyramoids Formal name: Pyramoids Type: Stone First appearance: Avengers Vol 7 675 Created by: Mark Waid; Al Ewing; Jim Zub; Pepe Larraz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Properties: A Pyramoid possesses the ability to magnify elemental power nearby to defend itself. The Earth Pyramoid formed a hurricane of orbiting rocks and debris around itself. The Fire Pyramoid created a column of fire. The Air Pyramoid caused a superstorm with gale-force winds and lightning. The Ice Pyramoid caused deadly and massive temperature drops and ice buildup in its surrounding. The Soul Pyramoid resulted the appearance of corporeal ghosts. Once a person touches a Pyramoid, it teleports them to the Grandmaster's Cosmic Game Room. Trivia: The Pyramoids were conceived by Jim Zub, and their name was initially used as a placeholder during the development of Avengers: No Surrender, but it eventually stuck. Their symbols were also sketched up by Zub, using Jack Kirby's style as inspiration. History: The Pyramoids are a set of five pyramids each representing an element. They were key elements of the Grandmaster and the Challenger's contest, since their acquisition by either of the Elders' team, the Lethal Legion and the Black Order, respectively, granted them a point in their score.; Before every round, each Elder chose a Pyramoid to be placed somewhere on Earth. The Pyramoid's presence resulted in a column of light that severely affected the environment of the site where it were placed. The objective of each team was to have either of their members secure the Pyramoid before the other team did. Once somebody touched a Pyramoid, they were teleported to the Grandmaster's base and placed in stasis within crystals, though to the rest it seemed like they had been disintegrated. A point was granted to the team the person that touched the Pyramoid belonged to.; The first Pyramoids activated were Earth and Fire, selected by the Grandmaster and the Challenger, respectively. The first Pyramoid appeared in the Colosseum in Rome, and the second one in Moray in Cusco. For the first round, each team was divived in half. The Earth Pyramoid was secured by the Black Order's Black Dwarf, while the Fire Pyramoid was unexpectedly seized by the Avenger Human Torch.; On the second round, the Challenger activated the Air Pyramoid, and the Grandmaster chose the Ice Pyramoid. They were placed in Los Alamos; New Mexico and Antarctica, respectively. A group of Avengers prevented the Black Order from claiming the Ice Pyramoid, and forced them to retreat. However, Ferene the Other of the Lethal Legion approached the scene with stealth and obtained it while the rest were distracted. Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Lethal Legion attempted to obtain the Air Pyramoid while the Avengers fended them off. After analysing the fight between the Legionnaires and the Avengers, Red Wolf determined the Pyramoid wouldn't actually kill him, and decided to claim it while Hawkeye provided him covering fire.; Since out of the competing teams, his had claimed the last Pyramoid, the Grandmaster won the right to select the location of the final Pyramoid, the Soul Pyramoid. He placed it inside the Lenox Hill Hospital, where the Avengers' ally Edwin Jarvis was being treated due to illness, so to lure the Avengers in force. Avenger Wasp attempted to claim the Pyramoid since she was already at the scene treating Jarvis, but a force-field stopped her from doing so. Voyager teleported into the scene and escaped with the Pyramoid.; Voyager returned to the Avengers Auxiliary Headquarters and locked herself and the Pyramoid in an impenetrable vault. On behalf of the Challenger, the Hulk attacked the facility to claim the Pyramoid, and easily tore through the Avengers' ranks until reaching the vault. Having rebelled against the Grandmaster, Voyager attempted to protect the artifact from the Hulk but failed. However, the Hulk had also decided to disobey his master, and crushed the Pyramoid instead. ============================================================ Psychon-Wave (Earth-7642) Kind: item Page: Psychon-Wave Formal name: Psychon-Wave Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel and DC Present featuring The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans Vol 1 1 Created by: Chris Claremont; Walt Simonson Reality: Earth-7642 Current owner: Uxas Previous owners: Metron Model: Unique History: The Psychon-Wave was given to Darkseid by Metron in exchange for the Omega-Phage Helmet.

The infection turned his blood into black ooze and threatened to kill him, but his life was saved by Cindy Moon, who developed Radioactive Spider Isotopes that stabilized Jesse's condition and granted him spider-like powers; however, Cindy lied to Jesse and convinced him that he required regular injections of her isotopes in order to survive. Both of them splintered off from S.H.I.E.L.D. and formed S.I.L.K., an international crime organization. While Jesse only retained for powers for a few hours after the isotopes injection, S.I.L.K. eventually developed and released into the wild a Radioactive Spider, based on the isotopes, which bit Gwen Stacy and granted her permanent powers, leading to Gwen taking on the mantle of Spider-Woman all while Cindy Moon continued to observe her.; When Gwen confronted Cindy face-to-face, she was prepared and took Gwen's powers away from her with her Power Glove. Eventually Gwen learned and revealed to Jesse that Cindy lied to him about needing the isotopes to survive. Jesse decided to abandon S.I.L.K. and went on the run, but left his remaining isotopes to Gwen so that she could continue to act as Spider-Woman until the supply ran out. Elsa Brock, seeking a way to neutralize the Lizard Serum - itself derived from Cindy's research into the alien spider venom's mutagenic properties - discovered that exposing it to the Radioactive Spider Isotopes caused it to mutate into an amorphous symbiotic entity closely resembling the alien spider parasites' venom. ============================================================ Quantum Batteries (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Quantum Batteries Formal name: Quantum Batteries Type: Power Source First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

It is unclear if this is a real-life realization of Trojak's supposed invention due to Yann's superior science, or an entirely different form of weapon that happens to have been given a similar name. History: A disintegrator ray either designed by Professor Anton Trojak (a.k.a. Annihil-Agent 47) or by HYDRA for use by the agent posing as the real professor. Seemingly a large machine the size of a van, the ray was actually a much smaller device installed along with its beam emitter on the end of a hollow container. This was used to smuggle a pair of HYDRA assassins aboard the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier to murder Nick Fury. Although the assassins failed, their presence aboard the Helicarrier was a mystery for awhile, Nick Fury realizing too late that the massive Q-Ray machine had been a "Trojan horse".; Meanwhile, having demonstrated the actual Q-Ray emitter to an audience of government officials, Trojak attempted to kill everyone present with the Q-Ray, changing his plans to simply crashing the Helicarrier when Nick Fury arrived and the Q-Ray was knocked over in the resulting scuffle. Fury tore out some wires that caused the machine to overload, destroying itself as well as the agent in a small explosion, while the Helicarrier’s descent was corrected by reversing the new vortex beam. ============================================================ Quantum Sword Kind: item Page: Quantum Sword Formal name: Quantum Sword Other aliases: Oblivion Sword Type: Sword First appearance: Annihilation: Conquest Prologue Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Abnett; Andy Lanning; Mike Perkins Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Construct from the Quantum Bands Lead designer: Phyla-Vell Current owner: Phyla-Vell Previous owners: Magus Alternate owners: Phyla-Vell (Earth-18897) History: The Quantum Sword was wielded by Phyla-Vell and was created from the Quantum Bands.

Once the critical point is reached, the star detonates. This process takes around ten minutes to complete. It has been deduced by Tony Stark that, since the fusion reaction powering the Sun burns hot or cold depending on the density of the elements at its core, the Pyre works by injecting the core with denser elements like iron. History: The Pyre was an astronuclear weapon of Skrull origin. It is a device capable of triggering the detonation of a star. The Skrulls originally never intended to use the Pyre, believing atronuclear war to be unthinkable among civilized races. However, when the plant-based aliens called the Cotati infected the Kral System, Skrull emperor Kl'rt the Super-Skrull opted to deploy the Pyre on Kral to stop their spread, hoping the sacrifice of billions of civilians would in turn save trillions of lives more.; Following the union of the Skrull and Kree empires into the Alliance, Hulkling become emperor of the combined races, and he led the fight against the Cotati to Earth. When the Cotati invaded Earth, Hulkling was urged by his royal guard to deploy the Pyre on the Earth's Sun. Due to Hulkling's reluctance to sacrifice the Earth to stop the Cotati, Hulkling was captured and impersonated by his grandmother R'Klll to give the command herself.; Although Hulkling was rescued by his husband Wiccan, when he confronted R'Klll, she had already ordered the deployment of the Pyre. With the Sun's temperature beginning to rise, Wiccan teleported himself with Captain Marvel and the Human Torch to the Sun to try to contain it. They were then joined by Super-Skrull, Captain Glory and Mur-G'nn. On Earth, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four had been alerted of the Pyre's deployment. Tony Stark managed to deduce the workings of the Pyre, and used teleporting technology to inject the Sun with reprogrammed Unstable Molecules that disrupted the Pyre's mechanism by attacking the denser elements it was injecting on its core until the balance was restored, causing the device to shut down and avert the Sun's destruction. ============================================================ Purity (Sword) Kind: item Page: Purity (Sword) Formal name: Purity Other aliases: The White Sword Type: Sword First appearance: X-Men Vol 5 12 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Pepe Larraz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: White Sword's grandmother Place of creation: Okkara Current owner: White Sword Previous owners: Genesis; Ingios; Ironfire Model: Unique Notes: The sword was forged using deep magic, and so it is the act of cutting given form.

It was displayed at the Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles at the international gem exhibit, and the criminal Gamesman was hired to steal it for the benefit of a Detroit heist. The man named Momo, with ties to criminal groups, overheard several details of the plan, including the date and that the Gamesman would be there in person, and told an associate at the local waterfront dingy Ned's Bar, unaware that the superheroine Spider-Woman was listening. The next day, Spider-Woman went on a date with Tim Braverman (secretly the Gamesman) and told him that she knew about the Gamesman's plan and planned to stop it; Braverman tried to talk him out of it, but was unsuccessful. That night, the Gamesman and his agents broke into the Auditorium and stole the Rajah Ruby and other gems. Spider-Woman attempted to stop them, but was defeated and left tied up. However, the Gamesman was arrested shortly afterward when he re-entered the Auditorium. ============================================================ Rampage Exo-Skeleton Kind: item Page: Rampage Exo-Skeleton Formal name: Rampage Exo-Skeleton Type: Armor First appearance: Champions Vol 1 5 Created by: Tony Isabella; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Stuart Clarke Place of creation: Los Angeles, Clarke Futuristics Current owner: Stuart Clarke, Recession Raiders Previous owners: Champions Properties: Superhuman Strength: The suit is strong enough to stand Its own against Hercules.; Superhuman Durability: The suit is made of the same light-weight metal as the Iron Man Armor, being durable enough to tank attacks from the likes of Hercules.; Self-Propelled Flight: The suit possessed jet-boots, when those were damaged he used an experimental ionic jetpack.

Facing bankruptcy due to the recession a mad Clarke decided to use the suit to rob a bank, resulting in him facing the Champions. Media dubbed the new villain "Rampage," a name Clarke later adopted. Clarke would later mass-produce the armor for the Recession Raiders. ============================================================ Psychotron Kind: item Page: Psychotron Formal name: Psychotron Type: Weapon First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 41 Created by: Roy Thomas; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: China Place of creation: United States of America History: Originally developed by the Chinese government, the psychotron was a chamber capable of subjecting the victim to horrifying images.; The Hate-Monger later used a different version of the device, this one only being effective in a small area, not posing a threat to the whole world like the previous model. ============================================================ Purification Gun Kind: item Page: Purification Gun Formal name: Purification Gun Type: Weapon First appearance: Man-Thing Vol 1 3 Created by: Steve Gerber; Val Mayerik Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Foolkiller (Gregory Salinger) Previous owners: Foolkiller (Ross Everbest), Foolkiller (Kurt Gerhardt) Notes: The Foolkiller of Earth-200111 uses a Sword Cane instead. However, rumors of him using the Purification Gun exist in-universe. History: The Purification Gun is the signature weapon wielded by various individuals who have taken up the mantle of the Foolkiller. Although its origins remain shrouded in mystery, the weapon has been central to every incarnation of the vigilante’s crusade against those deemed “fools,” a term defined differently by each user but always tied to moral, ideological, or psychological judgment.; Neither the precise nature of the gun’s technology nor the identity of its creator has ever been confirmed. Despite its pistol‑like appearance, the weapon fires a focused, laser‑like energy beam capable of completely incinerating a human target within minutes or burning a man‑sized hole through reinforced brick. The beam’s destructive power far exceeds that of conventional firearms, yet the gun remains compact and easily concealed. Its effective range is approximately thirty yards, allowing the Foolkiller to strike with precision while maintaining distance from his targets.; Over the years, the Purification Gun has passed from one Foolkiller to another, each inheriting the weapon along with the ideological burden attached to it. ============================================================ Reducing Ray Kind: item Page: Reducing Ray Formal name: Reducing Ray Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 10 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom/"Reed Richards" Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York Current owner: Source Control; Pearla (possibly); Fantastic Four (possibly) Previous owners: Doctor Doom Notes: A working version of the Reducing Ray was left in possesson of Pearla and her father in Sub-Atomica, at the end of Fantastic Four Vol 1 16; Doctor Doom had built one new unit after reaching Sub-Atomica. Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 states that the original unit was still in posession of the Fantastic Four.; As the effects of the Reducing Ray are permanent, Doom was forced to develop a different machine, the Enlarger Ray, to recover his size. History: The Reducing Ray was built by Doctor Doom. Doom intended to utilize the shrinking ray to reduce the Fantastic Four to nothingness. During battle with the Fantastic Four, an errant blast from Doom's gauntlet blaster struck the Reducing Ray's control panel, causing it to activate while he was standing directly in front of it, reducing him to nothingness. This transported him to the microworld of Sub-Atomica.; In Sub-Atomica, Doom quickly used his technological genius to assume control of the Microworld and developed a new version of the Reducing Ray, which he used to toy with the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four, aided by Ant-Man, soon journeyed to Sub-Atomica and battled Doom, who used his recently-developed Enlarger Ray to return to Earth.; One the two Reducing Rays eventually fell in the hands of the high-tech black market network known as Source Control. ============================================================ Reality Stone Kind: item Page: Reality Stone Formal name: Reality Stone Other aliases: Aether; Heart of Gaia; Reality Gem; Wuxian Seed Type: Infinity Stone First appearance: Avengers Annual Vol 1 7 Created by: Jim Starlin Reality: Earth-616 Origin: One of the Infinity Gems Current owner: Earth-616: Star Earth-199999: None Model: Unique Notes: Without the sensory input and balancing influence of at least the Space and Time Gems, the Reality Gem is considered exceptionally dangerous to use on anything but a small scale due to the radical nature of its powers.; According to Thanos, the Reality Gem is the most powerful of all the Infinity Gems. Even with three Infinity Gems (Soul, Power, and Time), Thanos admitted that he had little chance of surviving the Reality Gem's power if the Collector knew how to use it. History: One of six Infinity Gems that grant its user control over reality. According to the most commonly accepted origin story, the six gems were once part of an all-powerful being who committed suicide out of loneliness. Its power survived and manifested as six gems.; ===Soul Gems===; For a long time, knowledge of the true nature of the Gems was unknown and the six were known collectively as "Soul Gems", with much of their powers unrealized by their users. The ones that would eventually be identified as the Reality Gem and the Space Gem were being held on a prison satellite and by a powerful entity known as Xiambor when Thanos was in the process of collecting them for his own purposes, but it is unclear which was which. Thanos combined those Gems with three others and siphoned energies from the sixth to create a giant synthetic Gem with the intent of destroying the stars of the universe with its absolute power. The combined efforts of Warlock, Captain Marvel, and the Avengers thwarted Thanos' plan and destroyed the combined Gem.; For a time, the five combined Gems were thought to be destroyed, but a conclave of the Elders of the Universe eventually learned that they could not be truly destroyed in such a manner and that they were actually scattered across the universe. Having a plan to use the Gems to further their ambitions, the Elders set out to gather them together again. Of these, only the Mind Gem's circumstances were specified, having come into possession of the Kree. The Champion won one of the other Gems as the World Trophy of Grinx, the Collector collected one, and the Trader purchased the other two. It's unclear which of these was the Reality Gem at the time. The Elders eventually succeeded in gathering all six Gems together and connected them into a space platform aligned with a star system with six desolate planets the Gems could resonate with, setting up a trap for Galactus. Their apparatus would steal planetary energies from Galactus, channeling them into the planets, thus killing Galactus and subsequently Eternity due to the loss of balance that Galactus maintained. The universe would end and be reborn, with only the Elders surviving due to their earlier victory over Death and as such be true Elders of the new universe as Galactus had been in theirs. Though the Elders successfully trapped Galactus, they failed to handle interference from his heralds. While the Silver Surfer blocked the ray from the Gem apparatus, Nova detonated the star at the center of the system, creating a black hole that consumed the Gems and some of the Elders, saving Galactus.; The Elders joined with the In-Betweener in a further scheme to kill Galactus, retrieving the Gems from the black hole, but they were thwarted again by the Silver Surfer. Lord Chaos and Master Order became involved and redistributed the Gems among the In-Betweener and the Elders afterwards, with the one that would soon be revealed as the Reality Gem entrusted to the Collector.; ===Infinity Gauntlet===; Thanos learned of the Gems' true nature as Infinity Gems from the Infinity Well and set out to gather them once more in a quest to become a god worthy of being Death's consort. By the time he was halfway through this mission, the Elders had become aware of his movements and were guarding themselves for the Gems they possessed. The Collector was never able to unlock the secret of the Gem in his collection, so he was willing to deal with the Mad Titan when he came offering a trade. Having used the Time Gem to de-age the Runner into an infant, Thanos offered the baby Elder to Collector's menagerie of rare lifeforms. As far as Collector's studies could tell, the yellow Gem was no more than a useless glass bauble, so he smugly accepted the trade. With the Gem in hand, Thanos then revealed that the Reality Gem required a level of imagination lacking in the monomaniacal Elder and demonstrated its reality-warping effects to the Collector's horror. He also admitted that the Runner's de-aging was only a temporary effect just before teleporting away, leaving the Collector aghast with the suddenly restored and indignant Runner.; When Thanos assembled all six Gems into his Infinity Gauntlet, he had the power and knowledge to achieve anything he desired, except he found he still didn't know what it would take for Death to return his affection. He attempted various grand gestures, eventually creating a great shrine to Death and fulfilling his promise to her to kill half the population of the universe, removing them from existence with a snap of his fingers. No matter what he did, Death continued to regard him with silent disdain. He became increasingly unstable in his frustration and when a coalition of surviving heroes came to confront him, he was compelled to attempt to entertain Death by limiting his own abilities and giving his enemies a minute chance of victory. He swore off the use of all the Gems except Power in the ensuing battle, though he defeated many of his opponents through manipulations of time, space, and reality regardless. For example, he transmuted the Adamantium of Wolverine's bones to rubber, shrank the Hulk, and conjured a rapidly growing mold to consume She-Hulk and Namor. After his inevitable victory, Thanos reclaimed full control of the Gems just in time to face an alliance of Cosmic Beings. When Death stood with the other Abstracts against him, Thanos lost his last vestige of patience and subdued them all, imprisoning them in an energy field. Upon defeating Eternity, he took their place as an abstract being one with the universe. This meant abandoning his physical body, which was still wearing the Gauntlet. Nebula, who up to that point was a helpless bystander being tortured by her grandfather for his amusement, seized the opportunity and stole the Gauntlet. She quickly used the Gauntlet to reset the timeline by 24 hours, more so to spite Thanos' accomplishments than to set things right. She lacked the experience or understanding to make full effective use of the Gems, so Adam Warlock, who had formed more of a connection to the Gems through his time within the Soul Gem, was able to hide from her and eventually separate her from the Gauntlet to claim it for himself. Pledging to be a more worthy supreme being, Warlock ended the conflict and sent everyone on their way.; ===Infinity Watch===; Warlock did not hold the Infinity Gauntlet for long before Eternity brought his case to the Living Tribunal that the young god was no more suited to hold omnipotence than Thanos. The Tribunal ruled that Warlock disperse the Gems so that no individual could misuse their combined might. Warlock decided to split the Gems among friends and allies he knew would not or could not abuse their potential. While he openly relinquished four and kept one for himself as part of a group known as the Infinity Watch, he secretly distributed the Reality Gem to Thanos, who knew not to risk the use of its abilities without the other Gems to balance it. Keeping Thanos separate from the rest of the group naturally kept the Gems separate from each other.; Thanos did not make use of the Reality Gem during this time, instead keeping it in a display case in his hideaway. At one point, Thanos assisted Warlock in a scheme to stop the Magus from making the universe collide with his doppelganger dimension. Ostensibly, Warlock would assemble the Infinity Gauntlet while Galactus took Gamora to meet with Eternity and the Living Tribunal to reverse the ruling on using the Gems in unison, but it instead turned out to be a trap to draw the Magus out of hiding. Magus stole the Infinity Gauntlet to achieve godhood just as the ruling was reversed, but he didn't realize the Reality Gem included was a fake. Without it, Magus was vulnerable to Warlock's counterattack, who wrested the supreme power with the assistance of Eternity and Infinity who represented the reality Magus lacked control over. With Magus and his threat vanquished, the Infinity Gems were returned to the Infinity Watch and the ban on the Gems' combination was reinstated. Only Warlock and Thanos shared the knowledge of the Reality Gem's actual location the whole time.; Some time later, the Goddess briefly infiltrated his base and came within arm's length of the Reality Gem before Thanos discovered her and she left empty-handed. In the ensuing Infinity Crusade, it's not clear what her plans for the Reality Gem entailed, but it may have been meant to be added to the collection of similarly reality-altering Cosmic Containment Units already in her possession.; Tyrant once brainwashed Jack of Hearts into stealing for him the Reality Gem from Thanos. Tyrant made several iterative changes to universal reality in his quest for dominance, but Thanos and the Silver Surfer, whose memories were unaffected by the alterations, teamed up to track down the stolen Gem. The Surfer, upon defeating Tyrant and picking up the Reality Gem, was briefly tempted to use it to grant his own wish for a reality where he remained on his homeworld with his love, but sagely decided to return reality to its original state before returning the Gem to its chosen guardian.; Thanos eventually grew impatient and devised a plan to use the Reality Gem along with the Time Gem for a megalomaniacal scheme, but his plans were aborted by the sudden disappearance of the Infinity Gems from the universe. Allied with Gamora, Thanos set out in an attempt to find where the Gems had gone.; ===Ultraverse===; While details are inconsistent, the cause of the Gems' disappearance was Rune of the Ultraverse, who had just been accidentally transported to Earth-616 and quickly became obsessed with the Infinity Gems upon sensing their power. He somehow first stole the Time Gem and used it to freeze time, then proceeded to take the other five Gems from their owners in the space between instants. The Living Tribunal, unaffected by time manipulation and sensing the imminent violation of his decree against the union of the Gems, brought the Silver Surfer into the frozen time and charged him with preventing it at all costs. The Surfer soon found Rune wearing the Soul Gem on his forehead and the other five arranged on his right-hand knuckles in a pattern similar to the Infinity Gauntlet. The Soul Gem's will was supplanting Rune's own and forcing him to open a rift to his home dimension. At that point, the Surfer attacked Rune, with a blast of the Power Cosmic to his hand dispersing the five Gems on it into the vortex, causing them and Rune to scatter throughout the Ultraverse and restarting the normal flow of time in Earth-616.; The Reality Gem had found its way into a Chinese curio shop in San Fransisco by the time Loki found it in his quest to collect them all. Familiar with the hazards of handling the Gem carelessly, he hesitated to take it right away. Late at night, the phantom known as Chalk infiltrated the closed shop looking for a weapon to use against the pursuing hero, Night Man. Loki appeared, convincing Chalk to take the Gem, and when he did, it gave the ghost a vision of a reality in which he survived. An instant later, Loki obliterated Chalk and the shop with a blast of energy just as Night Man caught up to the scene. Loki made clear his intentions to take the Gem, but he was really manipulating Night Man, who could sense Loki's unparalleled evil, into grabbing it away first so he could study more of its effects. As soon as Night Man claimed the Gem, he began to multiply into myriad alternates representing all the different choices he could make from moment to moment, with the Gem multiplying with him in all versions where he kept his hold on it. Many of the versions panicked, went mad, and were killed all within minutes of the experience. One attempted to harness the Gem's power to engulf the others and become whole, but only lost himself by dissolving into the vastness of reality. Witnessing his failure, another had his Gem destroy all the Night Men without a Gem, attempting to narrow down which of the many was closest to being the "real" Night Man. Of the seven remaining, six began to fight for primacy, each eventually losing their grip on their Gems, which would roll into a single spot together. The last Night Man stood back and joined his Gem with the pile, trying to destroy the other duplicates by returning the Gem to singularity, but nothing happened. The other duplicates noticed and figured it would only work for the true Night Man, so one by one they attempted to touch the pile of Reality Gems with the same command. Eventually, it worked and only one Night Man with one Reality Gem remained and he felt he finally had a handle on its power. Nonetheless, he accidentally split himself one last time by deciding to keep/abandon the Gem. Loki returned to pick up the thrown Gem, having seen enough to know how to control it properly. He destroyed the Night Man that tried to keep his Gem, then teleported away with the one Reality Gem remaining.; Loki collected all six Gems but didn't have a clear goal in mind for how to use them. He wanted to eventually return to his home universe to exact revenge on his enemies, but bided his time in his adopted throne room in Vahdala while occasionally using his absolute power to commit minor acts of mischief on Earth. Meanwhile, a seventh Infinity Gem residing in the Ultraverse had also sensed the others' presence and sought to reunite with them. Possessing Sersi, another refugee from its home universe, the Ego Gem got close enough to Loki to connect with the other six, merging into a being called Nemesis, who attempted to use her creative forces to remake the two universes. Even the seven Gems together did not make a cohesive whole, however, and the Ego Gem's consciousness found itself at odds with some of the voices of the other Gems. This weakness allowed heroes of the two universes to fight back against her, and ultimately Black Knight struck a decisive blow on her crown where the Gems were stored, destroying the Ego Gem and scattering the other six in an explosion of creative force that would send everyone back where they belonged while restructuring the Ultraverse from the ground up.; The remains of the Ego Gem's essence was split among the Power, Soul, Mind, and Space Gems, allowing them each to take on autonomous living forms that shared Nemesis' malicious intents. The Time and Reality Gems, whose individual consciousnesses rebelled against the others in the interest of preserving the fabric of existence, remained in their original forms and found other hosts in the reforming Ultraverse to mitigate the chaos in Nemesis' wake. The Reality Gem found and joined with Amber Hunt, returned her to sanity, shielded her from the Nemesis waves, and guided her on a mission to reunite with the Time Gem and stop the Nemesis waves. They headed to Los Angeles, the last bastion of humanity thanks to the Time Gem's shielding, and convinced the ruling family there that was using the Time Gem to part with it to save the universe. From there, Amber, together with the Time and Reality Gems, returned to the nanosecond of Nemesis' destruction to absorb and safely convert the waves of creative force, leaving only the initial wave that the Marvel Universe and Ultraverse would have to weather on their own. Their work complete, the Gems scattered again, returning Amber to her fate.; ===JLA/Avengers===; When the activities of the cosmically powerful Krona caused the Marvel and DC universes to begin bleeding into each other, the Grandmaster manipulated heroes from each world into collecting objects of power, including the Infinity Gems, ostensibly for the purpose of averting the coming disaster. The Gems turned up on Apokolips, assembled by Darkseid into the Infinity Gauntlet, but when he realized the device was powerless outside its home reality, he discarded it, allowing the JLA to collect it for their side. When all the objects of power were assembled, Grandmaster combined their energies to forcibly bind the universes together in a failing attempt to neutralize Krona. The Grandmaster died and the objects fell into Krona's control, who attempted to make the two universes destroy each other to accomplish his goal of witnessing the birth of the next reality. The heroes of both worlds joined forces to stop Krona, destroying the containment device for the objects of power, allowing the universes to reorder themselves. The Infinity Gems were thus returned to their home universe along with everything else.; ===Galactus & Hunger===; Galactus was the next to assemble the Gems, having come to believe they could provide him with an alternate form of sustenance. Rather than freeing him from his hunger, he was actually freeing Hunger, a reality-devouring entity that was subconsciously manipulating him into opening a passage to his universe. Upon completing the set, Galactus affixed the Gems to a focusing crux connected to his ship, opening the way for Hunger. Realizing his mistake, Galactus attempted to fight Hunger, but it was ultimately the efforts of Thanos and his ally, Pip, that cut Hunger off by destroying the ship, separating the Soul Gem from the focusing crux, and crushing them beneath the weaponized planet Rigel-3. The other Gems were once again scattered across the cosmos by the blast.; ===Illuminati===; After She-Hulk gave the recovered Power Gem to Reed Richards for safekeeping, he considered the continual threat of the Gems, and so he assembled the Illuminati to discuss gathering the rest for security. Having already acquired Soul and Space through unrevealed means, he used the three Gems he had to locate the remainder. To reach the Reality Gem, Reed used a device in his lab to amplify the power in Black Bolt's voice to open a small hole connecting to the edge of reality itself, and Iron Man reached through with his armor to grab it. All matter, including Stark and the Baxter Building, began to crumble to nothingness in the Gem's presence, but Reed desperately used the combined Power, Soul, and Space Gems to bring the fourth under control and restore their reality. Once the Infinity Gauntlet was completed, Reed attempted to will it out of existence but nothing happened. He then offered it to the Watcher who had arrived to warn him against his actions, but was refused. He then decided it was best to divide the Gems among the members of the Illuminati to hide, protect, and never use for themselves, though Uatu suggested this was no less irresponsible in the long run. The Reality Gem was seemingly entrusted to Iron Man. Although the next time it was seen, it was said to have been with Black Bolt.; Black Bolt chose the subterranean prison below the former site of Attilan in the Himalayas as a hiding spot, but first had it encased in a protective sphere generated by the power of his aide, Ertzia. Ertzia had been left behind on Earth, separated from his people, and ended up imprisoned at Ryker's Island, mistaken for a mutant. Fellow inmate Parker Robbins befriended Ertzia and learned his secrets, which he put to use after his escape from prison. Robbins acquired guides and tech to lead him to the ruins of old Attilan and gained the Reality Gem, which he put to work attempting to collect the rest of the set. Despite not knowing how to make full use of the Gems, he made good use of the Reality Gem's wishing power to baffle the security systems put in place by Reed Richards and Tony Stark at their Gem locations. The Avengers had joined with the Illuminati to stop him from succeeding, and with their numbers and tactics were able to separate the Hood from most of the other Gems he had collected, though he managed to cling to the Reality Gem until the end. In his last struggles to evade attacks from Red Hulk, he was briefly opening up windows to alternate realities, seeminigly inadvertently, as a sign of the dangers inexperienced use of the Gem held to the fabric of reality. With the other five secured, Iron Man called the Reality Gem out of the Hood's hand and into his own. He used the completed Infinity Gauntlet to return the Hood to prison and then make it appear to the assembled Avengers that he removed the Gems from existence. Instead, he actually hid them until the Illuminati, now with Steve Rogers on their side, could convene to redistribute the Gems for better safekeeping. This time, Reed Richards left with the Reality Gem.; When the Illuminati attempted to use the Infinity Gauntlet to push away another universe that was colliding with Earth-616, the Reality Gem shattered along with the other gems.; ===Wuxian Seed===; Following the destruction of the entire Multiverse and its eventual restoration, the destroyed Infinity Gems were recreated and scattered across the reborn Prime Marvel Universe. While she was on Weirdworld, teenager Becca Rodriguez encountered Ogeode, who proclaimed that he had caused her plane to crash with an artifact known as the Wuxian Seed.; Ogeode was then promptly killed by Goleta the Wizardslayer, which was witnessed by Warg, who notified the Witch Queen le Fay that the the Wuxian Seed had fallen into Becca's possession. During a later encounter, le Fay revealed that the Wuxian Seed was in fact an Infinity Gem that could bestow power and alter reality, and a subsequent bolt of her magic shattered the Wuxian Seed, releasing a red, lifelike aether, which took the form of a dragon and fled.; ===Heart of Gaia===; After its departure from Weirdworld, the Reality Stone next turned up in a different reality altogether; a universe that was a dark mirror image of its native reality, where it was also known as the Heart of Gaia. After passing through a singularity, Dr. Eve and her cohort Mim breached into this other universe and secured the stone to further her plans; however, Lord Starkill attacked them and claimed the item after leaving them for dead, which he intended to deliver to Thanos the Just.; When he was confronted by Carol Danvers, who had been taken to this universe by Dr. Eve and Mim, and the Zeta Flight for stealing the stone, Starkill captured them with the help of his crew, the Ravagers, and included them in his deal with Thanos. Unfortunately for Quill, the Ravagers and Zeta Flight pulled a mutiny with the aid of the Widower when he mentioned his arrangement with the ultimate peacekeeper. Both Starkill and Danvers were consequently left incarcerated while aboard the Milano, where Bean made contact with Carol to warn her about the stone. When Thanos revealed he intended to use the Reality Stone to wipe all crime and violence of any kind from the universe, negotiations fell threw and Captain Marvel escaped with the stone, only to be ambushed by Dr. Eve who was very much still alive.; Dr. Eve claimed to have bound her lifeforce to Bean's in order to survive Lord Starkiller's assassination attempt, prompting Carol to leave with her to avoid any harm coming to the child. En route to their destination, Bean revealed that she was in fact working with Dr. Eve and that they planned to use the Reality Stone to move Earth-Zeta's Hala to the Prime Marvel Universe in order to replace the one destroyed by Mister Knife. When Captain Marvel refused, Bean possessed her body against her will; however, the fear of the Kree children on the planet below prompted her to abort Dr. Eve's plan and instead use the Reality Stone to teleport herself and Carol back to the Alpha Flight Low-Orbit Space Station in the Prime Marvel Universe.; ===Infinity Wars===; Captain Marvel kept the Reality Stone in her possession for safekeeping. When Doctor Strange convened a meeting of the wielders of each Infinity Stone to reform the Infinity Watch, Carol attended the parley in Central Park. The reunion was interrupted by Gamora, who had already claimed the Power Stone as part of her plan to collect all Infinity Stones and reunite with a part of herself trapped within the Soul Gem. During the subsequent battle, Captain Marvel tried to subdue Gamora, but Gamora defeated her and took the Reality Stone. She would end up claiming all Infinity Stones in the end.; Gamora folded the universe in half and merged the two halves together, sending the new universe into a pocket universe called Warp World inside the Soul Gem so the merged souls would become prey to the monstrous Devondra. While waiting for Warp World's destruction, Gamora traveled to the God Quarry to investigate what laid beneath it. Inside Warp World, Loki rallied a group of heroes called the Cosmic Avengers to stop Gamora, and they escaped from the Soul Gem using copies of the Infinity Stones found within Warp World which Gamora had unwittingly brought into existence when she created Warp World. Kang was given the replicate Reality Stone since his mastery over time allowed him to tap into the Reality Stone's full potential.; The Cosmic Avengers confronted Gamora and took the Power, Reality and Space Stones from her. Loki in turn took these stones for himself in addition to the copies of the Soul, Time and Mind Stones, thus assembling a complete set of Infinity Stones. He used the stones to send Gamora to Warp World before transporting himself to the unknown realm that existed beneath the Quarry of Creation, where he found a group of Celestials guarding a deposit of countless Infinity Stones.; Loki returned from beneath the Quarry of Creation, and used his Infinity Stones to render the surplus gems inert. He handed over his set to the Cosmic Avengers so they could repair the universe. After returning to Soul World and defeating Devondra, the Cosmic Avengers joined forces with Adam Warlock to restore the universe while keeping Warp World intact within the Soul Gem. Adam Warlock then used the Soul Gem to flee Soul World with the Cosmic Avengers and his allies while Drax the Destroyer sacrificed himself to keep the portal leading to the real universe open. After sending Gamora someplace to set her on a path of redemption, Adam Warlock decided to give the Infinity Stones sentience and let them decide their destinies in order to stop the conflicts over their power.; ===Star===; After being defeated by Captain Marvel and incarcerated in the Raft, Ripley Ryan, a.k.a. Star, was somehow merged with the Reality Stone and used its powers to escape.; ==Properties==; The Reality Stone initially allowed its user to alter reality to what one wanted or break the laws of reality, logic and physics. Minor uses allowed one to resurrect the dead, distort reality around someone so it was incomprehensible, or other things that would normally be impossible. More powerful uses allowed one to create any type of alternate reality one wished. At its peak when backed by the other gems it allowed one to alter reality on a universal scale.; Following the destruction and rebirth of the Infinity Gems, the abilities bestowed by the Reality Stone changed. From then on, it allowed its wielder to tap into the Multiverse, observe other realities, and communicate with the respective wielders of the Reality Stone in them. Because the Infinity Stones now formed a circuit, how much of the Reality Stone's potential somebody can tap depends on their mastery over time, meaning that possession of the Time Stone allows for a better use of the Reality Stone. In turn, possession of the Reality Stone allows for better control of the Soul Gem.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; ===2010s Marvel Animated Universe (Earth-12041)===; In this universe, the Red Skull stole the Infinity Stones (as they are called, instead of "Infinity Gems") from his master Thanos and returned to Earth. He had his ship heavily damaged, which caused the Stones to be scattered all over the Earth. The Reality Stone fell into possession of the nefarious Squadron Supreme. Doctor Spectrum became its wielder, and used it to wrap reality so the Squadron became the publicly adored protectors of the Earth, while each member of the Avengers was turned into a villain.; During a fight against the Squadron Supreme, now-supervillain Iron Man had a glimpse of the original status quo. Familiar memories of this other life motivated him to assemble Black Widow, the Captain, Falcon, Hawkeye, Hulk and Thor to investigate this event, and ultimately discovered what the Squadron had done.; The Avengers stormed the Squadron Tower, and the Captain managed to remove the Stone from Doctor Spectrum's hand, which caused the stone to unleash a rift that was slowly altering reality back to normal. After the device the Squadron planned to use to better seize the Stone's power finished preparation, Spectrum started using the Stone to erase the Avengers from reality. However, Iron Man blasted him off, allowing the Captain to get hold of the Stone. Using the device and the Stone, reality was restored, and the Avengers were turned back to their true selves.; The Stone was contained with the other three that had been retrieved by the Avengers, under special care by Tony Stark. However, the Black Widow noticed that Tony was slowly being corrupted by the Stones. She sneaked into the vault and stole them, with the intention to send them to Asgard for safekeeping. Their plan failed, and they resorted to Doctor Strange so he could bury them between realities. However, Dormammu appeared shortly after to take the gems. Black Widow was forced to wield the Stones in order to banish him back to his dimension. After initially falling into the Stones' influence, Natasha was capable of resisting their control and rejected them. However, as soon as she was stripped of the Stones, Thanos returned, and assembled the Infinity Gauntlet with the Power Stone that was already in his possession.; Using the Gauntlet, Thanos created a citadel near Earth's orbit, and started modifying Earth's climate, causing anomalies around the globe. In order to defeat him, the Avengers got Thanos to fight them with each individual Stone. He used the Reality Stone to make the Avengers see a reality where global peace was achieved. Captain America managed to see through this lie, and freed the Avengers from its influence.; After getting the readings of each individual Stone, Iron Man activated Arsenal, who seized the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos. When the Avengers returned to Earth, it was revealed a backdoor left in the robot's programming allowed Ultron to possess him. Arsenal was re-shaped into Ultron, and the evil A.I. revealed itself. The five Stones were drained of their power by Ultron.; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Reality Stone is a liquid known as the Aether. It is known to be able to convert matter into dark matter, and otherwise maintains an almost lifelike existence that causes it to bond in a parasitic fashion to a living host. Once bonded, the energies of the Aether slowly consume any mortal host, and also have a volatile and deadly effect on any who come into contact with the host in a manner that the Aether perceives as threatening. Bonded with a stronger host that understands its power, the Aether can be employed as a weapon where it lashes out with a concussive force, or reaches out to convert matter. During its brief time bonded to Malekith, the Aether also enhanced his physical form, causing him to grow threefold in height.; Every five thousand years a cosmic event known as the Convergence causes the Nine Realms to become aligned, and Malekith planned to use this event and release the Aether to plunge the Nine Realms back into darkness. But the Asgardians intervened and took the Aether from him by force. After Malekith sacrificed his entire race to devastate Asgard's army so he could flee, Bor, knowing that the Aether could not be destroyed, had it hidden away where none could find it, and over the following five millennia its story faded from known history.; After five-thousand years, the next Convergence brought the Nine Realms into alignment again, and in so doing portals began to appear in the walls between realms. Jane Foster was dragged through one such portal to the hidden vault of the Aether where it bonded itself to her. She was taken to Asgard for treatment, but the physicians there could do nothing to remove it.; The Aether quickly became the central focus of a war when Malekith returned after a five-thousand year sleep to reclaim it. He almost succeeded when he pulled the Aether from Foster into himself and became its new host, but was stopped in the act of transforming the Nine Realms by the combined efforts of Foster and Thor.; Having recovered the Aether, the Asgardians decided that it was unwise to store two Infinity Stones in one vault, and turned the Aether over to Taneleer Tivan, the ageless archivist and curator known as the "Collector."; During the war against Ultron, Thor had a vision of the Infinity Stones, discovering that the Aether can solidify into the Reality Stone.; After being recovered by the Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor informed them of the Reality Stone's whereabouts, prompting Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, and Mantis to travel to Knowhere to stop Thanos from retrieving it. However, Thanos had already beaten them to the punch and created an illusion in which he had yet to obtain the Reality Stone, and was in the process of interrogating Tivan. Gamora attacked and slew Thanos's illusion, only for the real Thanos to abduct her and use the stone to subdue the other Guardians. He would later use it to thwart Gamora's attempt to commit suicide, show Doctor Strange an illusion of Titan in its heyday, and battle the Avengers and Guardians. After gathering all the Infinity Stones, Thanos used all of them to destroy half of the universe. Three weeks later, Thanos destroyed the Reality Stone alongside the other Infinity Stones.; ===2013 Asgard Time Heist (Earth-TRN733)===; In this reality, the Reality Stone shared its history with its Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart until 2013. Thor Odinson and Rocket time-traveled to 2013 to get the Reality Stone after Thanos destroyed the Infinity Stones in their reality. Rocket acquired the Reality Stone by sneaking up on Jane Foster and draining it from her body. Later, after the Avengers used the Infinity Stones to resurrect those slain by Thanos, Steve Rogers returned the Reality Stone to its resting place. ============================================================ Recon Sentinel Kind: item Page: Recon Sentinel Formal name: Recon Sentinel Type: Armor First appearance: Sentinel Squad O*N*E Vol 1 3 Created by: John Layman; Aaron Lopresti Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Battlesuit Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: S.H.I.E.L.D.; Mister Fantastic; Jake Slayton; Rajani Dhama Current owner: Jake Slayton; Rajani Dhama Model: Unique Properties: The recon armor monitors and can even override or remotely control the other Sentinel units.

The gods were confident of victory: the Raven Banner had spread to the wind, and its magic was such that any side that bore it into battle was assured victory, though the bearer was certain to die. In this battle, that honor belonged to Grim Magnus, a god whose forefathers had born the banner for centuries. Just as the giant Snorth slew Grim Magnus, the battle turned decisively against his troops, and they were forced to retreat. Later, a trio a of tunneling trolls snatched the banner from the field before any of the gods noticed them, and concealed their escape with a small illusion. When a host of Valkyries led by Sygnet arrived to collect the honored dead, they assumed that Greyval -- Grim Magnus' son and Sygnet's betrothed -- had already retrieved the banner.; Unfortunately, Greyval Grimson was at that moment converting with the trolls in their underground lair. The god and trolls drank mead, frolicked with elves, and traded tails of past hunts. Askella, a troll sorceress, arrived with news of the battle's conclusion, and Asgard's victory. The Raven Banner was gone, probably collected by some other god. Greyval mourned the loss of his father, but was content to be rid of the banner. Let another godly family claim the banner, and with it the glory of certain death in battle for Asgard. He was offered the fruit of the Trollvine, which would make him a troll and allow him to remain and frolic in their lair forever. At this point he came to his senses: he promised his father that he would marry Sygnet on the eve of his death, a final tribute to his glory (and continuing the family line). Behind the illusion, Askella consulted the troll king: Greyval was completely taken in by their illusions of a grand banquet hall, believed that the gods had redeemed the banner, and that the trolls rejoiced in the gods' victory. She suggested that he be allowed to leave, for she had had a vision of him returning, "to kneel as a vassal at our feet 'til the Bottomless Abyss of Shadows fills with blood."; Sygnet and Greyval joined in a hand-fast marriage, and their was much rejoicing among the gods. Greyval had been telling stories of the battle, claiming to have slain five (or maybe ten, or even fifteen) giants. Greyval and Horskuld bet on a fight between their horses, which Horskuld's black stallion won. The celebration was marred when Valkyries arrived with the news that the Raven Banner had not been found. Odin believed that the giants may have stolen it, and that Greyval had committed a grave oversight by leaving it behind. The crowd turned on Greyval, but Sygnet silenced them, saying that Greyval would petition the All-Father for the right to seek out and retrieve the banner.; The next day, Greyval and Sygnet traveled from their farm on the plain of Ida to the gleaming city of Asgard. Their they met Horskuld, who had already received permission from Odin to quest for the banner. Sygnet was dismayed, but Grey was pleased: he might not have to die after all. Just then, Balder arrived, and agreed to help Greyval get an audience with Odin. Inside, Greyval confessed his doubts to Balder. When the battle was about to begin, a cadre of trolls snatched his sword and ran off laughing. After he was lured into their kingdom, he found himself singing and dancing without a care. They swore that some other god would reclaim the banner, and he would not have to die. Now he had doomed the kingdom and lost Sygnet forever, for why would Odin grant a cowards plea? Hearing all this, Balder told Greyval that fear of death was not cowardly; fear must be conquered as one claims his destiny. The land of trolls, he claimed, was a prison of deceits, but Greyval had the will to overcome it and leave. The two went to meet Odin, who agreed to allow Greyval to hunt for the banner, and for Balder to accompany him. Morduk, speaking for the sages, told Greyval he must first go to Valhalla meet his father's shade, who would guide him from there. Greyval wondered if Horskuld wouldn't find the banner first, but Morduk was doubtful that the arrogant, untrusting god would get anywhere unless he stumbled onto a clue by sheer luck. Balder contacted Agnar, King of the Eagles, who agreed to fly the pair to Valhalla.; Meanwhile, Odin had retreated to Hlidskjalf, the tallest mountain peak in the universe, where he sought peace in solitude. His wife, Frigga, had managed to find him, however, and he confided his fears in her. The peace Asgard had had until now seemed but the prelude to a terrible storm. If the Ogres had the Raven banner, woven by "Time's father's father", then the time of Ragnarok might be upon them. The Fates had decreed that only a god of Grim Magnus' line could retrieve the banner. That left only Horskuld, who was filled with the type of pride that usually preceded a fall, and Greyval, who was not cowardly, but riddled with self-doubt.; As they passed out of the chasm, they came to Valhalla, where the honored dead were joined in joyous battle. One god was not battling, however. Grim Magnus, who was aware of everything that had transpired since his death, could not bring himself to battle, knowing that his son was a coward. Greyval begged for forgiveness and counsel, swearing he would retrieve the banner and win fame's undying glory. Hopeful, Grim Magnus told his son that he must first sojourn alone into Hel, realm of the un-honored dead, and then seek out the Norns in their forest. Only then would they tell him how to find the banner.; Greyval journeyed through Hel, ferrying across its stagnant river filled with corpses, past the guardian hel-hound Garm, through the catacombs of flame, and past the great Devouring Dragon, who swallowed up the souls of the honorless dead. He also encountered Hela, who with a single tough shriveled his form into that of an old, feeble man, showing him what he would become if his courage failed. Horrified, Greyval swore this would not be his fate. He returned to Valhalla to retrieve Oddbrand and Balder, and the three departed for the Norn Forest. Elsewhere, Horskuld circled the woods looking for a clue. A voice called out to him, telling him the banner could be his if he only proved himself worthy. Horskuld proved his worth by slaying a doe and her fawn, just as the voice commanded. The troll Otny sprang from the blood, telling him he had indeed proven himself worthy.; Elsewhere, Horskuld gazed into the troll's Pool of Mirrors, which showed him proud Sygnet being tricked and subdued by the trolls. Horskuld, desiring Sygnet for himself, agreed to follow the trolls, who would provide him with the Raven Banner she so admired.Having at last come to Yggdrasill, the World Tree. Balder was summoned back to Asgard by Odin's Ravens, who informed him that the giants were on the march again. Greyval and Oddbrand on, reaching the Norns at the hear of Yggdrasill. Their the three fates told him of the three paths before him: the swift safe road home to his farm, to live in eternal health and shame; the rash, rueful road to the Raven Banner, where his new bravery would be tested; or the longest path, to save Sygnet, who was held in the land of rock trolls. Greyval chose the longest, the hero's path to save Sygnet. The Norns were pleased by the choice, and informed him that Odin had sent his boar, Gullinbursti, to speed him on his way. Mounting the boar, Greyval and Oddbrand flew for the land of the rock trolls.; In the land of the rock trolls itself, Horskuld had fallen to the temptation Greyval had avoided, vowing to stay on as a prince of the trolls, with Sygnet as his queen. Greyval came to Sygnet's prison, a cave guarded by Snorth, the same giant who slew his father! Greyval decapitated the giant after a long battle, scattering his troll allies. Inside, Greyval found and embraced Sygnet. When Oddbrand noticed that she cast a menacing shadow, Greyval knew that Askella was trying to deceive him again. Freeing the real Sygnet, Greyval threw Askella into her cell, and told Oddbrand to loose the key in his bag. He then went to retrieve the Raven Banner, leaving Sygnet and Oddbrand behind to run for Asgard.; Not far a way, Horskuld donned his armor, and prepared to lead his new armies into battle. To proud to admit any other warrior was as fine as he, he would bear the Raven Banner, leading his troops to victory. The troll king smiled at how gullible the god was, looking forward to a lifetime of hedonistic bliss even as he threw his life away. Horskuld descended into the Bottomless Abyss of Shadows, unaware that his cousin had penetrated the chamber above. Gullinbursti's light shattered the troll illusion, revealing their grand banquet hall to be nothing but a nestle of thorns.; Descending, he found a figure clad in purple armor. They dueled, and eventually Greyval landed a paltry blow against the troll prince's helmet. It was only then that the troll prince revealed himself as Horskuld. The warrior in purple knocked Greyval to his knees, pinning his sword. As Horskuld came close to gloat, Grey drove his dagger into the prince's throat. He stumbled into the black abyss, filling it with his blood, fulfilling the witch's prophecy. Greyval took the Raven Banner, and flew for Asgard.; Back in Asgard, the battle was going poorly for the gods, who were assailed by every giant of the land. The giants boasted that Fenris would swallow the moon, that Ragnarok had come at last. The gods feared it was not an idle boast, until Greyval Grimson arrived, unfurling the Raven Banner. The battle turned in the gods' favor, and the giants were routed. After the battle, Balder and Oddbrand found Greyval full of arrows. Sygnet took his body to Valhalla, and entrusted the banner to Balder until the son conceived on her wedding night came of age to claim his birthright. ============================================================ Red Storm Project Kind: item Page: Red Storm Project Formal name: Red Storm Project Type: Material First appearance: Before the Fantastic Four: Ben Grimm and Logan Vol 1 1 Created by: Larry Hama; Kaare Andrews Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Moscow, Russia Model: 1 Version: 1 History: A man named Logan stole the Red Storm Project from Russia alongside Carol Danvers and Ben Grimm.

Generation Hex ended in the small city where Jono grown up and whose inhabitants killed his family, as they were believed abnormal people; a disguised Hex told dwellers a group of Malformed were coming to kill normal people and the only way to avoid that was to dress everyone up as Malformed themselves.; When the Razormen arrived, they saw a city full of strange people and they killed them all, having decided they were Malformed. ============================================================ Rescue Armor Model 1 Kind: item Page: Rescue Armor Model 1 Other aliases: Iron Man Armor Mark 1616; Rescue Armor Mark I Type: Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 10 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Heavy rescue and recovery armor specifically designed for Pepper Potts Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Pepper Potts Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: While this suit's designation is "Mark 1616," it doesn't actually reflect the number of suits built by Tony Stark. Trivia: Tony included into the suit a playlist of 96,000 of Pepper's favorite songs.; H.A.M.M.E.R. estimated the suit costs $4 billion.; When converted into letters, the number in "Iron Man Armor Mark 1616" is PP, the initials of Pepper Potts.; The rights to the schematics of this armor are being contested by Damage Control after Tony Stark fell into a coma since the company also operates as an archival unit for metahuman technology that belongs to missing, incapacitated or deceased individuals. While Stark commonly evaded this predicament by leaving control of his intellectual property to Reed Richards, Reed had gone missing for a prolongued period of time when Stark became incapacitated. History: This suit of armor was designed and built by Tony Stark in secret, with the intention that it would eventually be worn by Pepper Potts. Pepper found the suit after stumbling upon a secret room in her Stark Industries office. The suit was originally nicknamed "Iron Man Armor MK 1616," though it would eventually become known as the Rescue Armor, due to "Rescue" being the alias Pepper adopted while wearing the armor.; While testing the suit, assisting disaster and accident zones, Pepper was arrested by H.A.M.M.E.R., the organization led by Norman Osborn, who was on the hunt for the fugitive Tony Stark. Unable to actually keep her prisoner, Osborn had to let Rescue go. Ignoring Osborn's warnings, Pepper set out to find Stark, and eventually reuinted with him in Russia.; When Madame Masque found Tony's hideout, captured Pepper, and threatened Tony, J.A.R.V.I.S. took control of the armor, freeing Pepper. Shortly afterwards, the suit entered sleep mode once it ran out of reserve energy. After defeating Madame Masque in battle, Pepper took her mask and impersonated her. She additionally delivered the Rescue Armor to Osborn, who placed it in his armory of retrofitted Iron Man Armor at the Stark Tower. When the suit's solar reserves replenished, it booted up, allowing J.A.R.V.I.S. to upload a computer virus into H.A.M.M.E.R.'s mainframe that rendered useless every extant Iron Man Armor in Osborn's possession, save his Iron Patriot Armor. Pepper subsequently returned to the suit and escaped the tower.; When Iron Man's allies gathered together to put in motion a plan to restore Tony from a state of brain death and were guided by a pre-recorded message from Stark himself, Jim Rhodes was tasked with stripping apart the Rescue Armor for parts to use in the procedure of kick-starting the R.T. node inserted into Tony's chest.; Some time later, after going through other two Rescue suits, Pepper returned to the first model. Potts lost the suit briefly at the hands of the Techno Golem, a villain with the ability to assimilate technology, but recovered it once the villain was defeated.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; The Rescue Armor has been described as an emergency search and rescue unit, for which its abilities are focused solely on defense and protection. The suit's offensive potential is so little, its thrusters don't generate heat at all. While the armor's systems, run by an artificial intelligence named J.A.R.V.I.S., possess communication and recording capabilities, they lack lenses or offensive tageting. The suit is powered by Pepper Potts' chest R.T. node, which, combined with portable electromagnetic superfield generators, gives the suit flight, speed, strength and magnetic field manipulation. Solar reserves allow the suit to be booted up without being attached to Potts' R.T. node, but once they're depleted, the suit enters sleep mode. Additionally, J.A.R.V.I.S. can take control of the suit and pilot it himself.; ===Defensive Powers===; The Rescue Armor's most notable capability is the generation of powerful force fields. These are strong and wide enough to catch a crashing plane and hold it steadily. The armor additionally possesses repulsor blast and finger lasers.; Clear; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online; In Earth-91119, Tony Stark aka Iron Man designed a suit for his friend Pepper Potts, who now fights the forces of evil as Rescue!; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online; In Earth-TRN1802, the Rescue Armor was among the items in M'Kraan's hidden collection of super hero memorabilia.; Avengers Academy: Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic Vol 1 60 ============================================================ Raven's Eye Kind: item Page: Raven's Eye Formal name: Raven's Eye Type: Sword First appearance: Thor Vol 1 498 Created by: William Messner-Loebs; Mike Deodato Jr.; Dante Bastianoni; Pino Rinaldi Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Odin Place of creation: Asgard Current owner: Doctor Strange Previous owners: Odin; Unnamed Frost Giant; Knights Templar; the Romanov family; Victor Prazniki Trivia: Named for the black diamond the size of a man's fist set in the sword's hilt. History: The sword Raven's Eye was created by Odin an unknown time ago. It was said to be cursed due to its tragic and bloody history. It was supposedly stolen from Odin at the beginning of time by a Frost Giant, who lost it gambling to the first of a succession of human reaver kings, all of whom died violently. Supposedly, it was part of the Knights Templar's loot. They were slaughtered and it moved east into Russia. It was in the Romanovs' bedroom until the Russian Revolution. It became part of a secret display at the hermitage, then some time during the 1980s, it was stolen, and passed into the hands of an industrial cartel, who in turn, gave it to Victor Prazniki.; It was coveted by a LMD Loki, who was created by Mad Thinker, as part of a trap he set up to get revenge on Thor. But when grabbed by Odin it sent him, Thor, and his companions to an alternate reality.; Though the Raven's Eye appeared to dissolve when Thor tried to pull it from Yggdrasill, it was seen shortly after in Doctor Strange's possession. ============================================================ Redeemer Armor Kind: item Page: Redeemer Armor Formal name: Redeemer Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 343 Created by: Peter David; Todd McFarlane Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: The Leader Additional designers: S.H.I.E.L.D. Place of destruction: The Washington Monument's Reflecting Pool, Washington, D.C. Current owner: General Reginald Fortean Previous owners: Bruce Banner; S.H.I.E.L.D.; Thunderbolt Ross; Craig Saunders, Jr. Model: 1.0 Version: Prototype History: The original version of the Redeemer Armor was created by the Leader to be worn by Craig Saunders, Jr.. Saunders wore the suit to battle the Hulk on a number of occasions. When it was claimed that Saunders died, the suit was passed on to be worn by Thaddeus Ross, who was a mindless drone of the Leader at the time. The suit was subsequently destroyed in another battle with the Hulk.; The armor was later recovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. and underwent some redesigns. It was pronounced a failure and put in storage. Years later, the Leader and the Intelligencia utilized the armor again to try and destroy the Red Hulk. It was piloted by a Life Model Decoy of Thaddeus Ross. Both the Redeemer Armor and the Ross LMD were destroyed in the encounter. Another version piloted by Bruce Banner was destroyed by a brainwashed A-Bomb.; A modified version of the suit was used by Reginald Fortean to hunt and eliminate the Red Hulk for killing General Ross, without knowing that his superior officer and the red powerhouse are one and the same. He later used the same armor in pursuit of the Red She-Hulk as well. ============================================================ Red Shift's Swords Kind: item Page: Red Shift's Swords Formal name: Red Shift's Swords Other aliases: Cosmic Swords Type: Sword First appearance: Galactus the Devourer Vol 1 1 Created by: Louise Simonson; Jon J.

Season 1 1 Created by: Paul Dini Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Rick Jones History: A friendly robot created by Rick Jones to record every single event Hulk took part of in order to change the world's negative view of him. ============================================================ Regen Serum Kind: item Page: Regen Serum Formal name: Regen Serum Type: Drug First appearance: Death of Wolverine Vol 1 3 Created by: Charles Soule; Steve McNiven Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by Dr. Abraham Cornelius as a way to mimic Wolverine's healing factor for his Abraham Cornelius Experiment Lead designer: Dr. Abraham Cornelius Place of creation: Paradise, Nevada Current owner: Shogun Previous owners: Kitty Pryde; Dr. Cornelius; Wolverine; Ogun Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: According to Dr. Cornelius, the Regen Serum is not as strong as Wolverine's healing factor. History: Dr. Abraham Cornelius created the Regen Serum to enable his test subjects to survive the Adamantium bonding process, as these test subjects had no healing factors.; Sharp currently possesses samples of the Regen Serum and used them to stabilize Daken's healing factor. ============================================================ Refrigeration Unit Kind: item Page: Refrigeration Unit Formal name: Refrigeration Unit Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 23 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Doom Current owner: Dr. Doom History: A device that can be added to any gauntlet in Doctor Doom's Armor, it can freeze anything it touches into a block of ice. Doom used it once to benumb Mr. Fantastic, who was trying to grapple him; then used it on a rope which he intended to use to lasso the Human Torch. However, the Thing prevented this plan, and then the Torch unfroze Mr. Fantastic. Doom since kept two of these in his laboratory at Castle Doom, for occasional use.; Doom again used his refrigeration unit against Mr. Fantastic - to freeze him whole - in a further one-to-one fight in Doom's New York laboratory. Richards had managed to short-circuit Doom's armor, preventing Doom from using most of its functionalities in combat; but the armor's reserve energy was enough to use this system to immobilize Mr. Fantastic long enough for Doom to activate another device, the Solartron, against other enemies. Richards however released himself soon afterward, making use of the air holes to worm out and weaken the block - and they resumed their fight until Doom was defeated. ============================================================ Redwing (Drone) (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Redwing (Drone) Formal name: Stark Drone MK82 922 V 80Z V2 Prototype Unit V6 Other aliases: Redwing Type: Drone; Technology; Robot First appearance: Captain America: Civil War Created by: Anthony Russo; Joe Russo; Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Stark Industries Current owner: Joaquín Torres Previous owners: Sam Wilson Properties: Redwing is typically stored in the central body of Sam Wilson's Falcon flight harness, and can be launched to perform reconnaissance, remote communication, and remote attacks. The control device is a touch screen mounted on Wilson's left bracer.; Flight: Redwing is capable of flight equal to those of Exo-7 Falcon.; Scanner: Redwing has a specialized camera that can view objects in 360 degrees. It also has tracking software that allows Falcon to be able to close in on hidden targets and assist in identifying a target's weak spots.; Machine Guns: Redwing has twin small machine guns that can extend from both of its wings. History: Redwing is a remote piloted drone of Samuel Wilson. It was used during an attempt by several members of the Avengers to track the movements of a gang of mercenaries in a densely populated district of Lagos, Nigeria. Redwing was effective in expanding the team's aerial surveillance capabilities, and also provided direct air support for Natasha Romanoff in the unfolding confrontation. ============================================================ Remembrancer Kind: item Page: Remembrancer Formal name: Remembrancer Other aliases: Memory Transference Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 278 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Doctor Doom's Castle, Doomstadt, Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom Previous owners: Doombots Notes: Doom had previously developed related devices such as the Energy-Transferral Helmet he had used to infuse his own brain pattern in the living android called Doomsman. Trivia: The role-playing game book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 included rules to use the machine. Depending on a single dice's roll, the heir may assume Doom's personality and memories; or also his skills and powers (including psionic and magical powers which he rarely uses); or, should the roll be bad, the heir's mind may be wiped clean leading to amnesia. In that case, a second roll can take place, but a second failure will kill the subject. History: The Remembrancer may be the most sophisticated among Doctor Doom's designs and developments. Its functionality was to take Doom's chosen heir and fill that person's mind with Doom's remembrances, personality and skills, replacing their personality with Doom's. The heir would then start believing to be Doom himself -somehow trapped in another person's body- so that Doom could continue his plans even after his death. The Machine can only transfer Doom's memories, not other people's. While the effects were permanent, the heir's original mind could be restored using imprinting and a post-hypnotic command.; The device itself was built in a huge chamber at Castle Doom in Latveria and required no less than five Doombots to operate it. The heir was to be seated in a chair, with a helmet fastened to their head. Then Doom's recorded history would be passed through the headgear to the heir's head. Doom built only one of these Machines and instructed his Doombots to use it only in the case of his confirmed death.; When Doctor Doom was presumed dead after an encounter with the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, and Tyros the Terrible, the Doombots impersonated him to continue ruling the country for a time while Latveria officially denied the so-called rumors of its ruler's demise. But Doom did not want robots to rule in his stead indefinitely. Once the Doombots were reasonably sure of Doom's death, five of them (including B-57 and A-73) took Doom's chosen heir, Kristoff Vernard, and submitted him to the Machine without really explaining the details - it would be useless, as Vernard would forget that conversation anyway. Vernard however ordered the robots to stop the process before having assimilated all the memory-tapes. The robots, having been ordered to obey Doom as their Master, complied. This led to the Machine creating an imperfect Master prone to solvable flaws. ============================================================ Respect Gem Kind: item Page: Respect Gem Formal name: Respect Gem Type: Jewel First appearance: Howard the Duck Vol 5 4 Created by: Chip Zdarsky; Joe Quinones Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Talos the Untamed History: The Respect Gem is one of the five stones that make up the Abundant Glove. The Skrull Talos the Untamed set out to assemble the glove in order to enslave the Earth and prove his worth to the Skrull Empire.; Under the alias of a regular human named Jonathan Richards, Talos hired the P.I. Howard the Duck to retrieve the Respect Gem, which had been encrusted in a necklace stolen by the Black Cat, allegedly from Talos' human identity.; After successfully taking the gem from Black Cat's hideout, Howard was kidnapped by the Collector, and the Respect Gem was kept at his museum in Collecton. Howard returned to Earth with the Respect Gem after the Guardians of the Galaxy broke out the Collector's prisoners. However, as soon as he returned, Howard was assaulted by a mind-controlled May Parker, one of the several elders forced to steal for the Ringmaster. Together with his ally Tara Tam and May, Howard tracked down the Ringmaster and got the gem back.; In the middle of this third attempt to get the gem, Talos snatched it from Howard and revealed his true nature as would-be conqueror. Once he assembled the Abundant Glove, Talos wreaked havoc throughout New York City using sentient constructs made from the glove. Talos was eventually defeated after Howard the Duck managed to snatch the glove from the villain's hand. The Respect Gem, together with the rest of the Abundant Glove, was given by Howard to Mister Fantastic. ============================================================ Red Raven's Wings Kind: item Page: Red Raven's Wings Formal name: Red Raven's Wings Type: Flight Harness; Suit; Technology First appearance: Red Raven Comics Vol 1 1 Created by: Joe Simon; Louis Cazeneuve Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Inhuman; Flight Harness created by the Bird People Lead designer: Bird People Additional designers: Red Raven Place of creation: Sky-Island Current owner: Red Raven Model: 1 Version: 1 History: When a Human child was discovered by the Bird People of Sky Island. They named the child Red Raven because of his flaming red hair, and, as he grew older, gave him a suit that would enable him to fly. The costume contained miniature anti-gravity mechanisms and included large artificial wings which would help him steer himself and negotiate air currents while in flight. ============================================================ Rescue Armor Model 2 Kind: item Page: Rescue Armor Model 2 Other aliases: Rescue Mark II; Rescue Armor Mark II Type: Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 29 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Pepper Potts Model: 2 Version: 1 Notes: Pepper referred to her suit as a she. Trivia: The rights to the schematics of this armor are being contested by Damage Control after Tony Stark fell into a coma since the company also operates as an archival unit for metahuman technology that belongs to missing, incapacitated or deceased individuals. While Stark commonly evaded this predicament by leaving control of his intellectual property to Reed Richards, Reed had gone missing for a prolonged period of time when Stark became incapacitated. History: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 515; Pepper Potts had to sacrifice her original Rescue Armor as part of a process to bring back Tony Stark from a state of brain death. When he returned, Tony recycled several of his old Iron Man Armor to build Pepper a new armor, which he presented to her as soon as she recovered from a surgery that grafted into her chest a R.T. node.; The suit was used by Pepper to assist Tony against Sasha Hammer, and a swarm of drones sent by Hammer Industries to attack the demonstration of a R.T. car. During this last instance, Pepper was forced to shut down the suit, due to the drones' targeting being locked onto the repulsor tech energy signature. During the War of the Serpent, Pepper used the Rescue Armor to take Iron Man's place on a mission of aid against Grey Gargoyle's rampage through Paris.; For a brief time, Pepper stepped down from using the Rescue Armor due to feeling discouraged after Bethany Cabe leaked to the media an image of Pepper cracking under pressure during the Serpent's war. Pepper would return to using the suit sporadically afterwards.; After going rogue, the suit's on-board computer J.A.R.V.I.S. took control of the Rescue Armor to hold Pepper and his boyfriend Carson Wyche hostage. Jim Rhodes, who had taken over the mantle of Iron Man, rescued Pepper and Wyche. He shut down J.A.R.V.I.S. and the Rescue Armor using an electromagnetic pulse. The Rescue Armor was subsequently destroyed as part of J.A.R.V.I.S.' decommission.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; Similarly to the first Rescue Armor, this suit is focused solely on defensive and protective capabilities. The armor is powered by the R.T. node lodged in Pepper Potts's chest, though it's likely it also possesses power reserves, due to its ability of being operated while separated from Potts (the original Rescue Armor featured solar reserves, for example). J.A.R.V.I.S. served as the armor's on-board computer. The armor possesses communication systems and scanners with a radio of fifteen meters.; The suit provides its user with flight capabilities, which are most likely derived from electromagnetic superfield generators like in the case of the previous Rescue Armor. An additional push during flight can be provided by overthrusters.; ===Defensive Powers===; In addition to the suit's outer shell, the Rescue Armor can generate powerful force fields for protection, which can be cast around the suit itself and other objects. These are durable enough to block Sasha Hammer's powerful razor-sharp energy whips.; ===Offensive Powers===; Even though the Rescue Armor is not focused on weaponry or offensive capabilities, its defensive systems can be used offensively. The manipulation of magnetic fields can be used to disrupt electronics, and the force fields can double as powerful shockwaves to knock down enemies. The armor's enhancements provide its user with enough strength to dent the Iron Man Armor Model 40. ============================================================ Rescue Armor Model 3 Kind: item Page: Rescue Armor Model 3 Type: Armor First appearance: Superior Iron Man Vol 1 9 Created by: Tom Taylor; Yıldıray Çınar Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark (A.I.) Current owner: Pepper Potts Model: 3 Version: 1 History: Superior Iron Man Vol 1 9; The third Rescue Armor was built by a digital back-up of Tony Stark's mind, which was booted up by Pepper Potts after the real Tony Stark had been victim to a magical spell that inverted his moral compass and turned him into a twisted version of himself.; Pepper confronted Tony on the Rescue Armor, and used a sonic attack to neutralize Tony's Endo-Sym Armor, believing it'd be vulnerable against such attacks due to being based on Symbiote biology. While the armor was actually protected against sonic attacks, Iron Man took the opportunity to feign defeat, so Pepper would bring him to the Resilient HQ, from where he could upload a virus to shut down his digital duplicate.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; Little is known of this armor's abilities, though it seems they are in line with the previous two Rescue Armor, meaning it's focused solely on defense and protection. One feature different from these other two suits is the presence of sonic attacks that can be fired from the palms. ============================================================ Red Guardian's Shield Kind: item Page: Red Guardian's Shield Type: Shield First appearance: Soviet Super Soldiers Vol 1 1 Created by: Fabian Nicieza; Angel Medina; Javier Saltares Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Alexei Shostakov Previous owners: Nikolai Krylenko; Anton; Josef Petkus Model: Unique History: The Red Guardian's Shield is the primary weapon used by users of the Red Guardian identity. Red Guardian/Josef Petkus had been trained to use the Shield as a projectile weapon, aimed at the bodies of his opponents. The Shield displays a prominent white star on a red background.; The Red Guardian identity seems to have been modeled on the Captain America identity, and the Guardians were the Soviet Union counterparts to the Captain Americas of the United States of America. The Shield serves as a counterpart to Captain America's Shield. Both shields depict a star as part of their symbols.; Recently the shield had undergone an upgrade, having been cast in Wakandan Vibranium and utilized by Red Guardian's Anton and Nikolai Krylenko. Nikolai utilizing a better augmented version with an onboard computer attuned to his suit, with which he can control its flight path ordering it to return to him. As well as channel his natural mutant powers through.; The shield was destroyed when She-Hulk attacked the Winter Guard after escaping the lab where she was being reprogrammed. The shield was eventually repaired.; The shield was later acquired by Alexei Shostakov, the first Red Guardian. ============================================================ Rescue Armor Model 4 Kind: item Page: Rescue Armor Model 4 Type: Armor First appearance: New Avengers Vol 4 14 Created by: Al Ewing; Paco Medina Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Toni Ho Current owner: Toni Ho Model: 4 Version: 1 Notes: This is the first Rescue Armor in the Marvel Universe not worn by Pepper Potts.; Toni Ho's use of a Rescue Armor was most likely a reference to her Earth-14029 counterpart, Antonia Yinsen, who went by the alias of Kid Rescue. History: New Avengers Vol 4 14; This model of the Rescue Armor was designed by Dr. Toni Ho while working for A.I.M. and Bobby Da Costa. It was first used when the Maker and the New Revengers attacked Avenger Base Two. The Maker and an alternate universe version of Skar attacked the base's engineer section while Toni was working on Pod and fatally injured the latter. After escaping death using a personal force field, Toni retreated to put on the Rescue Armor, with which she incapacitated Skar before the Maker fled.; Toni used the Rescue suit one last time during a mission to shut down the rogue A.I.M. splinter cell A.G.M.. Afterwards, A.I.M. was absorbed into S.H.I.E.L.D.. Toni ditched this suit in favor of the Iron Patriot Armor when she became a member of A.I.M.'s new patriotic team, the U.S.Avengers.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; Similarly to the previous Rescue Armor worn by Pepper Potts, this suit focuses on defensive capabilities, namely force-shields. These are powerful enough to withstand blasts from a planetary weapon like Skar. The force fields have offensive capabilities as well, if flattened to just a few atoms thick and flicked out towards an enemy, it can cut through them like a hot-wire cutter. ============================================================ Regenix Kind: item Page: Regenix Formal name: Regenix Type: Drug First appearance: Old Man Logan Vol 2 31 Created by: Ed Brisson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Japanese; steroidal enhancement that bestows artificial healing factors Lead designer: Shin Harada Additional designers: Touko Kenmochi Place of creation: Tokyo, Japan Place of destruction: Madripoor Current owner: Old Man Logan Previous owners: Crazy Thunder Clan; Yashida Corporation; The Hand; Scarlet Samurai Properties: Regeneration: As the name inclines. Regenix bestows accelerated regeneration abilities upon its host rivaling that of Logan or The Hulk, but the effects of said healing factor was limited and unstable.; Not only was Regenix addictive as it was short lived. But prolonged use of the pharmaceutical caused fatal muscle cell degeneration which would inevitably kill its host after repeated application.; It also lost its effectiveness when individuals dosed on it were exposed to low temperatures, like in a freezer or upon exposure to Liquid Nitrogen. History: Regenix was a designer made supplement headed by Yashida Corporate Industries headed by Shin Harada, the second silver samurai. A crooked employee was purposefully betraying company secrets in order to deal with his debt problems, selling the incomplete formula to gangsters who then ran it on the black market for personal gain.; Gorgon, who had been vying for an alliance with Clan Yashida for years; attempted an abrupt takeover of the Yashida Corp from its current owner by replacing him with a proxy head The Hand had recently resurrected.; In doing so, they also acquired access to a fresh supply to the substance as well as the company product's creators. Through it, he was able to enhance it's undead assassins with potent regenerative abilities. But supplies were running low and Gorgon began to lose patience for waiting on the opportunity to make more.; Eventually Logan came to Japan while on his lonely trek through the world, running into some thugs juiced up on the designer substance. Eventually ending up working with Shin and the revived Mariko to aid in its destruction to cripple Tomi's plans and protect the common good.; Eventually as he and Mariko hunted down the last of the Regenix in Madripoor, James was fatally injured while battling the hand for it. With no other option left, she used the last of the Regenix to save his life before departing on her own. ============================================================ Reaver Virus (Earth-18727) Kind: item Page: Reaver Virus Formal name: Reaver Virus Type: Virus First appearance: X-Men: Blue Vol 1 33 Created by: Cullen Bunn; Marcus To Reality: Earth-18727 Lead designer: Kirk Jansen Current owner: Reavers Previous owners: Kirk Jansen; Reavers; Bastion; Alex Summers History: In a devastated alternate future nineteen years from the present, monitored by Cable and visited by Magneto, a scientist named Kirk Jansen created a program that grew and evolved into coded hate, a synthetic plague eventually dubbed the Reaver Virus.; Anyone infected by it became cyber-organic atrocities redesigned to hunt down and exterminate mutants, along with anyone else that got in their way. The Avengers, the X-Men, and all the other superhero teams of the world mobilized to stop its spread, but because they were unwilling to kill the robotized hosts in order to eradicate the virus plague, they all fell and died one by one. The only people left behind to fight for mutantkind were the Brotherhood lead by Magneto.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; ===Prime Marvel Universe (Earth-616)===; After Magneto returned from visiting an alternate timeline in which the carriers of the Reaver Virus pushed mutantkind to the brink of extinction, he scheduled a visit to scientist Kirk Jansen's lab, killing him and all of his employees to seemingly prevent the Reaver Virus from coming to pass; however, during his days as an inverted mutant criminal in service of Emma Frost and her cabal, Havok had an encounter with the bionic future Sentinel; Bastion, who implanted a form of nanobionic code into his biology and erased such an encounter from his mind.; Some time after his moral alignment had been fixed, Havok would soon find trouble with both the Office of National Emergency and the Reavers, the latter of whom the former had betrayed and attempted to execute after they had been dumped at the doorstep of O.N.E.'s anti-mutant commanding officer, General Callahan, by Alpha Flight when their attempt at defiling the grave of Wolverine failed.; After a heated battle following a temporary alliance with Havok's allies, the nanite code fell into the hands of Donald Pierce and his bionic crew, who then proceeded to utilize Bastion's creation to gain technoforming abilities. Pierce and his Reavers use it to assimilate Sentinel Squad O*N*E tech that he had been forced to help upgrade, then attacked the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, but were defeated by a devastating redirection of Banshee's sound-waves by Ali Blaire.; ==Effects==; The program was initially designed as a simple technoforming upgrade which enabled Cyborgs and Robots the ability to take over and integrate any form of machinery they come into contact with; however, it soon transformed into an extension of the host, as well as mechanomorphed into anything the user of the virus desired, such as the Reavers taking over Sentinel Squad O*N*E mechs as new bodies or regenerating bionic limbs by assimilating any nearby machinery and reformatting it into whatever the host saw fit.; The Virus initially had no capacity for affecting organic entities other than the cyborgs using it, but in the distant future, it evolved to encode the Reavers' hatred for mutantkind onto other beings infected with it. It is unknown if the pathogen-created cyborg killers possess the same technoforming abilities of the Prime Marvel Universe's strain of the pathogen seen in the Reavers, but what is currently known is that many of the humans infected with the Reaver Virus would often adapt biomechanical extremities and killing appendages, such as spider-like lower abdomens, arm cannons, and chainsaw limbs. ============================================================ Razor Bat Kind: item Page: Razor Bat Formal name: Razor Bat Other aliases: Bat Missile Flying Disks Type: Throwing Weapon First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 39 Created by: Stan Lee; John Romita Sr. Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Norman Osborn Current owner: Green Goblin (Norman Osborn); Hobgoblin (Roderick Kingsley) Previous owners: Hobgoblin (Jason Macendale Jr.) History: Razor Bats were among the arsenal of weapons Norman Osborn created for use as the Green Goblin upon upgrading his arsenal with the intent of unmasking Spider-Man. Bat-shaped shuriken capable of lacerating and stabbing opponents, they could be used to sever Spider-Man's web-lines and could also be coated with chemicals to dampen Spider-Man's Spider-Sense. ============================================================ Red Tree Kind: item Page: Red Tree Formal name: Red Tree Type: Tree First appearance: Conan the Barbarian Vol 3 3 Created by: Jason Aaron; Mahmud Asrar Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Red Tree Hill Place of destruction: Red Tree Hill Current owner: The residents of Red Tree Hill History: An ancient tree at the top of Red Tree Hill, the Red Tree was used by its residents and Inquisitor to hang thieves to near death, before releasing them to be eaten by wild dogs.; The tree had withstood the weight of hundreds of thieves across its years, but the weight of the 17-year-old Conan caused its hanging limb to break, and it was used as a weapon in the Barbarian's ensuing escape attempt.; After Conan's capture and ensuing imprisonment, he was taken once more to the tree, to be cleft limb from limb, as he had done to the it. Instead, the sudden appearance of a bolt of lightning, seemingly sent by Crom, Conan's god, killed the Inquisitor and the shocked residents of Red Tree Hill allowed Conan to leave, and began worshiping the Cimmerian deity. ============================================================ Rescue Armor Model 5 Kind: item Page: Rescue Armor Model 5 Type: Armor First appearance: 2020 Rescue Vol 1 1 Created by: Dana Schwartz; Jacen Burrows Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Pepper Potts Model: 5 Version: 1 Notes: This suit is an adaptation of the Iron Man Armor MK XLIX from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is the Rescue Armor of this reality. History: During the robot revolution, Pepper Potts donned a new Rescue Armor, presumably for the first time, to embark on a mission to obtain DNA samples of Tony Stark's parents, Amanda Armstrong and Jude, in order to use them to rebuild his body.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess abilities in line with the previous Rescue Armor, being focused on defense and protection. The armor can be used to create magnetic restrain fields and force-fields. The suit additionally enables its user to fly, provides them with superhuman strength, and the ability to fire repulsor blasts from the palm of their hands. The armor's sytems are run by an A.I. program named H.A.P.P.Y., used mostly to help with navigation. ============================================================ Remote Access Unit Kind: item Page: Remote Access Unit Formal name: Remote Access Unit Type: Technology First appearance: X-Men Vol 3 28 Created by: Victor Gischler; Will Conrad Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull History: A handheld remote access unit the size of a human tablet was used by the Skrulls to activate and control a Skrull warship hidden under New York City. It permitted the Skrull to command the ship to burst out of the ground and into the air, unload a cargo of automated war machines (multi-story humanoid robots), and activate the guns and missiles of the warship. The unit was powered by a fusion battery as thick as a "D" cell battery and a bit longer. ============================================================ Regenerative Warhead Kind: item Page: Regenerative Warhead Formal name: Regenerative Warhead Other aliases: Regenerative Device Type: Explosives First appearance: Cosmic Powers Unlimited Vol 1 5 Created by: Greg Wright; Scot Eaton Reality: Earth-616 History: Regenerative Warheads were Pheragot devices that could be used as terraforming tools and/or as weapons of war. A Pheragot Starcruiser had 1000s of regenerative devices, enough to kill every Axi-Tun on their homeworld and terraform the planet. ============================================================ Remaker Bomb Kind: item Page: Remaker Bomb Formal name: Remaker Bomb Type: Weapom First appearance: Iron Man Vol 4 21 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Joe Bennett Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Triads History: The Remaker Bombs were built using Mandarin technology, that was available to the Triads in Mandarin City. Triad warlord Lord Remaker used the Remaker Bombs in his terror campaign against Anthony Stark's control over Mandarin City. They were huge bombs that were equipped with five rocket thrusters and shielding that Stark technology was unable to penetrate. Despite being hit by energy bolts from two cannon emplacements and four automated Iron Man armor units of the Trojan Guard, a Remaker Bomb destroyed Central Control. ============================================================ Reset Charge (Earth-199999, Earth-TRN870) Kind: item Page: Reset Charge Formal name: Reset Charge Type: Teleportation device First appearance: Loki (TV series) Season 1 1 Created by: Michael Waldron Reality: Earth-199999, Earth-TRN870 Origin: TVA equipment Lead designer: He Who Remains Current owner: Time Variance Authority, Guardians of the Multiverse History: The Reset Charges are used by the Time Variance Authority to "prune" timelines that branch out from the "Sacred Timeline". All affected matter cannot be destroyed however and is instead transported to the Void at the End of Time, there to be consumed by Alioth itself. ============================================================ Red Dust of Death Kind: item Page: Red Dust of Death Formal name: Red Dust of Death (or Decay) Other aliases: Crimson Dust; Crimson Dust of Death; Death Dust; Dust of Decay; Red Death; Red Dust; Red Powder Type: Drug First appearance: Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 25 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Jim Mooney Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Miles Warren clone Current owner: William Allen Previous owners: Miles Warren clone; Malcolm McBride Properties: The Red Dust can cause a choking death, pain, or unconsciousness. Sometimes it also demonstrates acidic and flesh-eating properties. Notes: Originally, the third Carrion was able to control other human beings by infecting them with the Carrion Virus. The mind control was later attributed to his use of telepathy in conjunction with the Red Dust. Trivia: The Hobgoblin once theorized the Red Dust was merely freeze-dried acid crystals.

To that end, she and her servant Vox Ignis recruited the Legion of the Night, charging them with retrieving artifacts of power to fuel the Reliquary.; In the coming centuries, the Nightkin visited civilizations before their fall to the growing Sinister-empire, stealing artifacts while Mother Righteous visited various people of great import, asking them about their regrets in order to send their secrets back in time to herself. After centuries of gathering artifacts, the Reliquary was ready, though Mother Righteous would be forced to wait nearly 1000 years for the rest of the pieces to fall into place, continuing to add artifacts to the Reliquary just in case.; When it came time for her to deploy the Reliquary, she was ambushed by Wagnerine, whose child had secretly been made part of the Reliquary centuries ago. When Vox Ignis turned on her, Mother Righteous was killed before she could unleash the Reliquary's powers. It was instead claimed by Moira MacTaggert. ============================================================ Reckoner's Mace Kind: item Page: Reckoner's Mace Formal name: Reckoner's Mace Type: Mace First appearance: Thing Vol 1 17 Created by: Mike Carlin; Ron Wilson Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Battleworld Previous owners: Reckoner History: The Reckoner's Mace was a golden mace weapon that was wielded by the Reckoner, a giant purple-skinned humanoid that the Thing was forced to fight during his adventures on Battleworld by Grimm the Sorcerer under the guise of keeping his companion Tarianna hidden from him.

The spell is most effective when cast during the waning moon. The spell required a personal item from the subject of the original spell. To cast the spell, begin by clearing your mind and centering yourself then hold the personal item and rub it back and forth between your two palms focusing intently on it, seeing detail in your minds's eye. Next, breath slowly as you project your energy into the item and repeat the words "dimette eam ex hox carmine" (or possibly "Meo carmine, exsolve hanc feminam defixam"). As you speak, imagine the personal item you hold dissolving in your mind's eye. You'll feel the energy shift once the spell is broken. Trivia: Translated from Latin into English, the incantation "dimette eam ex hox carmine" roughly means "dismiss her from this spell", and the incantation "meo carmine, exsolve hanc feminam defixam" roughly means "[by] my spell, release this cursed woman". History: In late 2026, "Teen" used the Release Spell to free Agatha Harkness from the Scarlet Witch's spell. ============================================================ Remembrance Crystal Kind: item Page: Remembrance Crystal Formal name: Remembrance Crystal Type: Crystal First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 279 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Mark Gruenwald Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Bruce Banner History: The Remembrance Crystal was given to the Hulk by the Watcher during the ceremony followed his presidential pardon as a thank you from all the races and planets he had helped over the years. ============================================================ Repulsword Kind: item Page: Repulsword Formal name: Repulsword Type: Unique Sword; Energy Weapon First appearance: Iron Man Vol 6 2 Created by: Spencer Ackerman; Julius Ohta Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Hostilicus Previous owners: Tony Stark Properties: The Repulsword can be used to channel repulsor energy for a variety of uses, including long-distance discharges, slashing strikes, and barrages. The Repulsword can continually absorb energy from combatants before releasing it in controlled beams, one of which one-shot an amped Iron Monger with plenty of energy to spare. The Repulsword can also be used as a shield, being capable of deflecting the Power Cosmic and withstanding the full brunt of both magical and repulsor force from the Iron Monger. Trivia: The Repulsword as a weapon for the Improvised Armor was a design element brought up by Iron Man Vol 6 artist Julius Ohta, which wasn't originally featured in writer Spencer Ackerman's pitch for the book. When Ohta requested it, Ackerman gladly accommodated the story to find a way to integrate the sword into it. History: The Repulsword is a massive protractible sword made by Tony Stark out of retractable steel plating connected by plastic flexors, salvaged by Tuatara from a Roxxon oil pipeline she exploded on his behalf. Initially unnamed, the sword was christened by Ironheart.; During his time in Earth-616, Hostilicus of Earth-6160's Negative Zone, broke inside Iron Man's storage and stole the Repulsword among other equipment. ============================================================ Repulsor Battlesuit Kind: item Page: Repulsor Battlesuit Formal name: Repulsor Battlesuit First appearance: NFL Superpro Vol 1 12 Created by: Evan Skolnick; Jose Delbo Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Roxxon's Bolivian facility Current owner: Claudio Juarez Previous owners: Carlos Carago ============================================================ Rescue 3099 Armor (Earth-51156) Kind: item Page: Rescue 3099 Armor (Earth-51156) Formal name: Rescue 3099 Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Marvel Future Fight Created by: Netmarble Games Reality: Earth-51156 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Pepper Potts History: Armor designed by Tony Stark and used by Pepper Potts. ============================================================ Red Door (Multiverse) Kind: item Page: Red Door Formal name: Red Door Type: Blockade First appearance: Immortal Hulk Vol 1 37 Created by: Al Ewing; Joe Bennett Reality: Multiverse Origin: Interdimensional portals obstructing gamma mutates from accessing the Below-Place Lead designer: Leader (One Below All-possessed) Place of creation: Below-Place Current owner: Leader; She-Hulk; Hulk Previous owners: One Below All Material: Cosmic Radiation Dimensions: Variable Notes: The fact that the Joe Fixit persona could utilize cosmic radiation being funneled into him by the U-Foes' member X-Ray to prevent his resurrection and transformation in order to shatter the Red Door was an early indicator that not only are they fueled by the Green Door's antithetical emissions, but also alluded to the One Below All's true identity. History: A Red Door is the axiomic counter barrier which severs those who are touched by Gamma's taint from accessing the Below-Place, through which they can move in and out of via the Green Door. While they could normally return to life through its manifestations which lead there to return to the living plane via self-resurrection. This door permanently bars access to & from said chthonian dimension back into Earth-616.; The Leader first came into contact with the netheral entity festering below creation, having become privy to its presence within the Gamma Radiation fueling his power and general well-being over the years. Sterns would seek to use information begotten from a tiding-fly to further his knowledge of a potential disastrous future and his understanding of the Green Doors. After he had found, tricked and subsumed into himself Brian Banner, the father of his mortal enemy the Hulk, he would come into the power of his manipulator and gain administrative control over the entryways leading into the De-Creator's domain.; From there, he found his control over gamma also gave him the ability to apply the inverse of its radiological function. Infusing the gateways with cosmic radiation caused the Green Doors to invert their color; becoming Red Doors which negated his kind's ability to automatically revive after death.; If Green Doors enabled the master of said multiversal stratum influence over those touched by gamma who revivify after death via entry and exit, then the Red Doors that the Leader invented threw such an effect into reverse. Cutting them off from their retroactive immortality as well as any tithes to the One Below All, the Leader would implement this tool in order to manipulate Bruce Banner and his various many alters as the Hulk, Doc Samson, Rick Jones and Del Frye as a viable means of contacting the Bellow-Place's ruler, using his nemesis gamma connection to establish contact for the sake of his research, to which he would have Frye murder Doc Samson, forcing him back to the Below-Place to show him the fruits of his many labors, while at the same time the Leader would have Rick infuse the Hulk with a jolt of Gamma Radiation to trigger a catastrophic meltdown that would devastate the area that he was in at the time so as to kill countless people and set the Hulk in Gamma Flight's crosshairs, then having Puck discharge a beam weapon at the child-like Hulk while he was distracted by the Absorbing Man. Such an injury allowed the Leader to access the Green Scar/Worldbreaker Hulk alter to take over entirely.; Sterns would then gloat to Samson about how he had mastered the use of Green Doors to such an extent that he could now invert their nature to establish a Red Door which prevented him from returning to life in his original form. He would do the same thing to the She Hulk after she had been killed and sent to the infernal realm after her body was infected with a parasitic foliage organism by the Cotati just for the fun of it.; The Red Doors are not an indefinite of pre-emption, however, as a powerful enough Gamma Mutate who can assimilate other exotic energies can just as easily smash his way through the impeding nature of which, as Sunshine Joe Fixit was able to imbibe on X-Ray's cosmic radiation so as to shatter a Red Door blocking his path to resurrection, becoming an all-new Red Hulk and escaping with the Savage Hulk alter after Sterns had locked down his access to the Under-Underworld after absconding with Banner and the Devil Hulk alter. ============================================================ Reed's Inter-Dimensional Portal (Earth-2149) Kind: item Page: Reed's Inter-Dimensional Portal Formal name: Inter-Dimensional Portal Type: Technology First appearance: Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 21 Created by: Mark Millar; Greg Land Reality: Earth-2149 Origin: Dimensional gateway Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Reed Richards Place of creation: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City Place of destruction: Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City Current owner: Reed Richards History: The Reed's Inter-Dimensional Portal was a dimensional gateway created by the zombified version of Reed Richards following the near-extinction of sentient life on his Earth. Faced with a dwindling supply of human prey, Richards devised the portal as a means of reaching alternate realities that could be harvested for food by the zombie heroes and villains of his world.; The first known target of the device was Earth-1610. Due to the portal's coordinates being linked to the location where it had been constructed on its native Earth, the gateway materialized inside the Baxter Building, the headquarters of the Fantastic Four in that reality. The arrival of the interdimensional portal enabled the zombie Reed Richards to make contact with his Earth-1610 counterpart and initiate a plan to bring the inhabitants of that universe into contact with the zombie plague. ============================================================ Ringmaster's Hat Kind: item Page: Ringmaster's Hat Formal name: Ringmaster's Hat Other aliases: Hypnotic hat Type: Headgear First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 3 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Ringmaster Additional designers: Fritz Tiboldt, Nazi Scientists Current owner: Ringmaster; Ringmistress Model: Unique Properties: Hypnotism Notes: The spinning lines on the hat are actually a disc that can be removed. The disc itself contains great hypnotic power when used by an expert such as Tiboldt. With the disc (and Doc Samson's help), the Ringmaster was able to merge multiple personalities of Bruce Banner into one entity.; The Ringmistress owns a modified version of this hat. History: Ringmaster used the spinning lines on his hat to hypnotize the audience of his circus, in order for the Circus of Crime to rob and loot the helpless victims.; Some time later, Spider-Man used Ringmaster's hat to hypnotize him and find out where Masters of Menace were hiding. ============================================================ Rom's Energy Analyzer Kind: item Page: Rom's Energy Analyzer Formal name: Energy Analyzer Type: Technology First appearance: Rom Vol 1 1 Created by: Bryan L. McCoy; Bill Mantlo; Jim Shooter; Jo Duffy; Sal Buscema; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Galadorian Previous owners: Rom; } Notes: The Energy Analyzer and the Neutralizer were mistakenly labeled in reverse in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 1 15. In addition to this, artist Eliot R. Brown gave both items a significant redesign that differs greatly from their actual appearance shown in the interior art of Rom Vol 1. The classification error was later corrected in issue #11 of the Deluxe Edition, but the redesign was retained despite its inaccuracy. History: The Energy Analyzer was the device used by Rom to detect Dire Wraiths. It was able to penetrate their sorcerous shape-shifting ability to reveal them as they were to Rom's video receptors. This device was able to track energy trails and immediately provide Rom with an analysis of any thing or person that he trained it upon. ============================================================ Rom's Armor Kind: item Page: Rom's Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Rom Vol 1 1 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Jim Shooter; Sal Buscema; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Galadorian Current owner: Rom Material: Plandanium Model: Unique History: The Spaceknights do not have conventional suits. Their nervous systems are crafted into the Spaceknight exoskeleton; they are similar to cyborgs. Rom and Starshine are able to change between their humanoid and Spaceknight forms due to their original bodies being preserved.; In Spaceknight form Rom has superhuman strength, durability, stamina and reflexes, as well as interstellar flight. He does not need to eat, breathe, or sleep in this form, only an occasional 'shutdown' to rest. An auto-repair system heals injuries to his parts. ============================================================ Resurrection Stone Kind: item Page: Resurrection Stone Formal name: Resurrection Stone Other aliases: Miracle-Gem; misspelled "Ressurection Stone" at times Type: Stone; Technology First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 209 Created by: J.M. DeMatteis; Alan Kupperberg Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Created by the scientist wizard Tus'au, resident of a dimension that combined sorcery and technology. Lead designer: Tus'au Place of creation: Unnamed dimension, millenia ago Place of destruction: Skrull spaceship orbiting Earth Previous owners: Tus'au; Devlunn; Sol Rosenblatt; Beast (Hank McCoy); Roxxon Energy Corporation; Shocker Properties: Resurrection: Can revive the dead.; If split in two, the halves were capable of reviving the soul or the body, but not both, resulting in bodies without souls or souls in decaying bodies. Notes: Though unnamed in the story, the Skrull's name is revealed to be Jaddak in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z Update Vol 1 1. History: After its creation by Tus'au, it was sought by many within its dimension of creation, resulting a brutal war that led to the destruction of a "thousand, thousand planets" and eventually the gem's loss. Krru, a scholar, would spend much of his 5,000 year existence searching for its location. After finding it, Krru split the gem in two and sent the halves into two separate parts of Earth's past, then was almost immediately killed by a Skrull named Jaddak.; Jaddak then came to Earth and impersonated Edwin Jarvis and infiltrated Avengers Mansion, poisoning the Beast's then-girlfriend Vera Cantor. After telling the origin of the Resurrection Stone, Jaddak revealed that the only way to revive Vera would be to retrieve the two halves of the Stone. Grief-stricken, the Beast agreed; with Wonder Man, Vision, and Scarlet Witch agreeing to help him.; Gaining the assistance of Doctor Doom's time machine (in the custody of Reed Richards at the time), the quartet of Avengers was transported to the location of the first half of the Stone: September 16, 1348, 1:11 PM, England. The Avengers immediately found themselves in the middle of a large group of people suffering from the Black Death (Bubonic Plague). They were immediately taken to the wizard Devlunn, a child had lost his friends and family to the Black Death and who controlled one half of the Resurrection Stone, feeling it made him important. Controlling the Stone, Devlunn sent an army of animated corpses against the Avengers until the Beast managed to snatch the Stone from the boy's hand. The quartet then left the era, leaving a weeping Devlunn behind.; The Avengers then arrived on April 13, 1945 at 8:07 PM in Germany and immediately found themselves surrounded by German troops about to advance on a weakened group of American soldiers. Wonder Man quickly took charge of the situation, defeating the entire German contingent. When questioned as to whether they were Invaders or Liberty Legion members, the quartet "admitted" to being part of those groups, and the leading officer quickly dismissed Wonder Man's half-hearted claim at being Captain America, then led the group to the location of the second half of the Resurrection Stone: the Nazi death camp of Dachau. When the Avengers entered the camp they found a survivor, Sol Rosenblatt, attempting to revive his family with his half of the Stone. But, with only half the Stone, he was capable of bringing their souls back, but incapable of re-animating their bodies. This left his wife and daughter in a partial existence, their bodies decaying, but their minds still conscious. Seeing this, the Avengers considered what they could do to help. Eventually, Beast approached Sol, convincing him that the life he was giving them wasn't a real life, and that he had to let them go for their own good. Sol then said his goodbyes to his family and handed his half of the Stone to the Beast who, along with the other Avengers, was immediately transported back to where they'd begun their adventure.; Before they had left, Jaddak had relocated himself and the body of Vera to a spaceship orbiting Earth. The Avengers, returning from the past, set out to meet the Skrull. Not trusting Jaddak, and seeing what the Stone had done, Beast crushed the stone to dust rather than allow Jaddak to control it. As he grieved over the loss of his girlfriend, the other Avengers assaulted Jaddak, with the Beast jumping in to lay the finishing blow, stopping just shy of killing the Skrull. The Avengers then returned to Earth, where they allowed Reed Richards to examine Vera's body, where he revealed that there was an outside chance he might be able to restore her.; The Resurrection Stone was at some point restored and acquired by the Roxxon Energy Corporation. Shocker, having heard about the Resurrection Stone from Doctor Bong, stole it, intent on using the relic to revive Boomerang. After a Zombiote infected Boomerang's body, Shocker bludgeoned the reanimated corpse with the Resurrection Stone, shattering it and resurrecting Boomerang. ============================================================ Ring of the Nebulas Kind: item Page: Ring of the Nebulas Formal name: Ring of the Nebulas Type: Ring First appearance: Invaders Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Frank Robbins Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Extraterrestrial Lead designer: Unknown Place of creation: Unknown Place of destruction: Northern France Previous owners: Brain Drain; Brunnhilde; Donar; Froh; Loga; Captain America Model: Unique Trivia: There is presumably a link with The Ring of the Nibelung from Teutonic mythology and the works of Richard Wagner. History: The Ring of the Nebulas was a powerful alien artifact that possessed the ability to amplify the power output of all mechanical systems. A group of space explorers used this ring to power their interstellar vessel, the Tekeli-Li.; In September of 1941, the aliens crash-landed on Earth and the ring came into the possession of a cybernetic Nazi scientist known as Brain Drain. Brain Drain used the power of the ring to amplify his own mechanical systems, and by doing so, was able to maintain mental dominance over the four aliens. He renamed them after Teutonic gods and they became known as Brunnhilde, Donar, Froh and Loga. Brunnhilde however, mustered enough willpower to break free of Brain Drain's control and escape with the ring.; In France, she came upon Captain America and enlisted the aid of his fellow Invaders to stop Brain Drain's threat. This brought them into conflict with Brunnhilde's fellow space travelers, but they succeeded in freeing them from the Nazi's control. Once Brunnhilde realized that her space ship was destroyed, she elected to destroy the ring as well, casting it into a cauldron of acid. ============================================================ Ringed Ruby of Raggadorr Kind: item Page: Ringed Ruby of Raggadorr Formal name: Ringed Ruby of Raggadorr Type: Jewel First appearance: Peter Parker: Spider-Man Vol 1 11 Created by: Howard Mackie; John Romita, Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Raggadorr Place of creation: Temple of Raggadorr, Thailand Current owner: Stonecutter Previous owners: Raggadorr Model: Unique ============================================================ Ring of the Nibelung Kind: item Page: Ring of the Nibelung Formal name: Ring of the Nibelung Other aliases: Albretch's ring Type: Ring First appearance: Thor Vol 1 499 Created by: William Messner-Loebs; Mike Deodato Jr. Origin: Asgardian; Magical Lead designer: Albrecht ============================================================ Robot Dog Kind: item Page: Robot Dog Formal name: Robot Dog Type: Robot First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 92 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Half-Face Place of creation: Hill 38, Vietnam Current owner: Half-Face History: Half-Face employed a bunch of these giant, pre-programmed mechanical monsters against Iron Man.

(Robotism Heuristic Intelligence Navigable Operative) (Earth-1610) Type: Unique Armor First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 41 Created by: Stan Lee; John Romita Sr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology; Armor Current owner: Cindy Shears; Aleksei Sytsevich Previous owners: Rhino II Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Rhino wore a thick polymer mat suit similar to a rhinoceros hide, covering his entire body except for his face. The suit is highly resistant to damage and temperature extremes, and is also equipped with two horns designed to mimic the general shape and appearance of real rhinoceros horns, capable of penetrating 2-inch plate steel. His first suit was more crude in overall design. Spider-Man brought a piece of the suit to Dr. Curt Connors for analysis. Together, they created a reformulated webbing which burned through the suit and the Rhino was captured.; It was eventually destroyed again and replaced with a removable, more form-fitting suit by the Leader after the Rhino underwent further gamma ray treatments that further increased his strength. The suit was specifically designed, via the gamma ray treatments, to somewhat enhance his strength.; The Jackal later provided the Rhino with a black version of the suit which he used to break into the Andru Correctional Facility to free both the Lizard and a de-powered Electro.; Clear ============================================================ Retroactive Cannon (Null-Time Zone) Kind: item Page: Retroactive Cannon Formal name: Retroactive Cannon Other aliases: Ret-Can Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: She-Hulk Vol 2 3 Created by: Dan Slott; Juan Bobillo Reality: Null-Time Zone Origin: Technology Lead designer: Time Variance Authority Current owner: Time Variance Authority Previous owners: Clockwise Trivia: The Ret-Can appears to be a fairly obvious reference to the Retcon (or retroactive continuity), the practice used by storytellers to add previously unknown material to an event in a previous story. The name is also a play on the word "canon". History: The Retroactive Cannon (or 'Ret-Can') is the most lethal weapon in the Time Variance Authority's arsenal. It is designed to bombard an individual with anti-temporal rays, unraveling them backwards through time and erasing them from all reality.; The She-Hulk was given the harsh sentence of being erased from reality via the Ret-Can for her offenses against the timestream. However, the villain Clockwise gained control of it and began erasing other heroes from reality.

One of the personas that he adopted was Ricochet. Starting with a leather jacket with an "R" on it, Parker's wife Mary Jane Parker created a costume and weapons. Ricochet was similar to Spider-Man, but even more jocular. He relied primarily on his agility, and posed as a criminal for hire. He worked with Delilah in searching for information about Black Tarantula, and they battled Roughouse and Bloodscream together. Peter used all four of his new identities, both to confuse his foes and to contradict speculation that the new heroes were all, in fact, the same person. Once he had cleared his name, he abandoned all of his new personas.; ===Johnathon Gallo===; The golden age hero Black Marvel acquired the four costumes. He then proceeded to give them to four youngsters forming a team that he named Slingers. Lyons provided Johnathon Gallo with the costume and identity of Ricochet. Johnny readily accepted since as Ricochet he could freely use his powers to help people, without revealing his Mutant nature.; ==Capabilities==; Ricochet has special throwing discs which he stores on the sleeves of his jacket, four on each. These discs can bounce off walls and targets with incredible force. Later, Hornet gave Ricochet new discs that could explode on impact. Ricochet's super reflexes and coordination enable him to throw his discs with amazing speed and accuracy. In the Runaways series, Ricochet used an E.M.P. disc at one point, although where he got it is unknown. ============================================================ Ring Imperial (Latveria) Kind: item Page: Ring Imperial (Latveria) Formal name: Ring Imperial Type: Ring First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 38 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Doctor Doom Model: Unique History: A unique item among the Crown Jewels of Latveria, this ring is studded with gems and bears the royal crest. It does more than identify the king of Latveria: Doctor Doom modified it to broadcast energy waves that cause pain in nearby people, but not in the wearer, while glowing at the same time. This attack is only effective at point-blank and affects only human beings. Doom could also manipulate the ring to unlock his mask so that he could remove it.; When Doom swapped his body with Daredevil's, he took precautions to keep the ring, so he could identify himself to his minions if needed - and it was needed, as some of his lackeys in the embassy mistakenly (but reasonably) took him for Daredevil. Doom used the ring to punish them, then sent them after Daredevil. ============================================================ Roboid Drones Kind: item Page: Roboid Drones Formal name: Roboid Drones Type: Robot First appearance: Cloak and Dagger Vol 2 10 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Bret Blevins Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Robots Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: These humanoid robots were built by Victor von Doom and kept at Castle Doom. When Doom intended to use the Particle Projector to erradicate nuclear weaponry, he was opposed by teenage superheroes Cloak and Dagger, who escaped Doom's direct attack. Doom sent his roboid drones to look after the heroes within the castle, but the drones failed to find them - albeit the heroes were in the first place anyone should have looked, the Particle Projector chamber. ============================================================ Robotic Subjects Kind: item Page: Robotic Subjects Formal name: Robotic Subjects Type: Robot First appearance: Hero for Hire Vol 1 8 Created by: Steve Englehart; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Latveria Place of destruction: New York City Current owner: Doctor Doom History: These super-strong, super-endurant robots were developed and built by Doctor Doom in Latveria. Because of reasons, these robots joined a number of Doom's other robots to stage a rebellion intending to oust Doom and murder humans. Doom's enemy, the alien Faceless One, agreed to lead the rebellion. Four robots (names included Primus, Tertius "Terry" and Quartus) stole secret information from Doom and escaped to New York City, where they hid at Bedford-Stuyvesant impersonating black men. General Mantoff from the Latverian Embassy discreetly hired Afro-american super-powered private detective Luke Cage to find the fugitives. Doom also sent an unconspicuous Electronic Spy to follow Cage. Cage found the fugitives and was so surprised at discovering them to be robots, that the robots managed to escape. Unbeknown to them, the Electronic Spy followed them to their new hideout and reported it to Doom.; Cage went to Doom for explanations, and Doom was delighted to point the fugitives' new shelter. The Electronic Spy followed Cage again to register his absolute victory against the rebels, and reported it to the Embassy. The Embassy was reluctant to pay Cage, so Cage travelled to Latveria to collect. There, he was found by the Faceless One. The alien was not angry at Cage: The robots Cage had confronted were bloodthirsty and would have killed Cage; Cage was simply defending his skin. The Faceless One even attempted to recruit Cage for his cause, but Cage was unwilling to allow anyone to cold-bloodly murder Doom. This allowed Doom to overcome the robot rebellion in one single day. ============================================================ Resurrection Altar Kind: item Page: Resurrection Altar Formal name: Resurrection Altar Type: Structure First appearance: Jungle Action Vol 2 12 Created by: Don McGregor; Billy Graham Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Land of the Chilling Mist Current owner: Sombre Properties: Resurrection: The unearthly energy emitted by the radioactive stones beneath the altar can raise the dead.; Mutagenic radiation: An individual is changed each time they are exposed to the radiation, which causes their flesh to melt and change form, sometimes unlocking new abilities, though these changes are unpredictable and often deadly.; Teleportation: With knowledge of the Altar's true purpose, it can be used to transport individuals to another altar on a different planet.; Limitations: The Altar uses a certain energy frequency to animate its users; the reanimation will end if an opposing frequency, called the Negus Cadence, is played. History: ===Origin and past===; The source of the Resurrection Altar's power is a radioactive piece of a star which fell to the Earth, which the Altar and its temple was built around. This shrine was built as a gateway to an identical temple on another planet, possibly by alien visitors to Earth before the establishment of Wakanda, but over time it came to be used as a place of resurrection.; Some Wakandan jambazi first discovered the Altar's resurrection capabilities during the reign of King Negus. Negus, a champion of arts and culture in Wakanda, experimented with Talking Drums and the connections between sound and Vibranium to discover the frequency that cancelled out the Altar's extraterrestrial energy - the Negus Cadence - defeating the Jambazi and their undead.; Many decades later, under the rule of King Xe'Ntra the Bold, the Altar's abilities were rediscovered by the Hyena Clan, who used it to revive the King's late lover, Nanti. The Jabari opposed the King, and they used their own drums to play the Negus Cadence and cancel the resurrection.; ===Modern day===; Sombre's repeated exposure to the Altar's radiation caused his body to become wraith-like, and welded his mask to his flesh. While guarding the Altar, Sombre would offer those who died on the Altar as offerings to the White Apes of the nearby Land of the Chilling Mist.; Before his attempted invasion of Wakanda, Erik Killmonger used the Altar to empower members of his Death Regiments, including King Cadaver and Salamander K'Ruel. King Cadaver was later brought to the Altar for a second time to increase his power further, but the ceremony was interrupted by the Black Panther.; After Nikki Adams' death at the hands of Malice, Everett Ross attempted to bring her back to life using the Resurrection Altar, though T'Challa intercepted him at the temple, not wanting Nikki to undergo the Altar's mutations and planning to destroy the Altar. Thanks to the ongoing Maximum Security event, a group of aliens sought to use the Altar's teleportation capabilities to escape imprisonment on Earth, and T'Challa, Ross and Adams all found themselves at the other end of the gateway, which the Galactic Council were destroying to prevent any further escapes. Though Adams was temporarily revived and empowered by the Altar, she perished again shortly after its destruction.; Despite the destruction of the surrounding temple, Tetu and Zenzi were able revive Emperor N'Jadaka of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda using his symbiote and the Resurrection Altar, which was under the protection of guardians assigned by King T'Challa himself. ============================================================ Rings of Raggadorr Kind: item Page: Rings of Raggadorr Formal name: Rings of Raggadorr Other aliases: Roving Rings of Raggadorr; Seven Rings of Raggadorr; Seven Roving Rings; Enchanted Bands Type: Spell First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 130 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Raggadorr Current owner: Doctor Strange; Clea; Living Tribunal; Umar the Unrelenting Previous owners: Raggadorr Notes: Although the Rings of Raggadorr are said to be shades of dark blue, they are frequently depicted as other colors such as red, yellow, or green. However, this may be due to coloring errors. History: Doctor Strange used the Rings of Raggadorr to trap Baron Mordo, preventing him from casting more spells.; When brought before the Living Tribunal, Doctor Strange was held within the Rings.; While battling Sligguth, Doctor Strange summoned the Rings to destroy the rocky hands encumbering him. Later during that battle, Doctor Strange summoned the Rings to trap Sligguth directly, but Sligguth broke free.; Doctor Strange summoned the Rings to bind Stygyro during a battle though he quickly broke the Rings.; While preparing for fend off Alaric, Doctor Strange summoned the rings to protect the Sanctum Sanctorum, Manhattan, and the United States. Unfortunately, Alaric's easily cut through the defenses with his Sword of Kamuu.; During a battle with Azrael, an artificially aged Doctor Strange mustered his strength to combine the Rings of Raggadorr with the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak to entrap Azrael. This gambit successfully banished Azrael.; Clea successfully used the rings to destroy two possessed gargoyles that were attacking her and Wong. Although, later while practicing the spell, Clea began to lose focus leading Doctor Strange to assault her with the Vapors of Valtorr, the Winds of Watoomb, and the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak to test her. With the additional distractions, Clea was unable to hold the spell.; During her attack on Thor, Umar the Unrelenting trapped Thor in the Rings. ============================================================ Robotic Antibody/Bacterial Infection Engines Kind: item Page: Robotic Antibody/Bacterial Infection Engines Formal name: Robotic Antibody/Bacterial Infection Engines Other aliases: Space Rabies Type: Robot; Nanobot; Virus First appearance: Deadpool the Duck Vol 1 3 Created by: Stuart Moore; Jacopo Camagni Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: The World, Dubai Current owner: Roxxon History: The Space Rabies were a dangerous new breed of biowarfare nanobots which infected Rocket Raccoon's brain. ============================================================ Ring Blades (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Ring Blades Formal name: Ring Blades Type: Throwing First appearance: Black Panther (film) Created by: Ryan Coogler; Joe Robert Cole Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Wakandan; Technology Lead designer: Shuri Place of creation: Wakanda Current owner: Nakia Previous owners: Shuri Material: Vibranium Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Ring Blades are Vibranium weapons capable of creating an energy field within them.

It created a retroactive dimensional warp and catapulted its target out of existence, eliminating them as if they had never existed at all. As it took some time to make a Retcon Bomb, Hobgoblin didn't have much of them at her disposal. ============================================================ Restraint Bands Kind: item Page: Restraint Bands Formal name: Restraint Bands Type: Technology First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 161 Created by: Jim Steranko Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Atlas Foundation History: The Restraint Bands were a device used by the Atlas Foundation on Nick Fury, when they captured him after a ferocious fight and tossed into water.

Additionally, there has not been any authorized experimentations with combining the DNA of multiple mutants.; However, several individuals have written wills requesting they be resurrected in a Magneto husk with his powers.; Synch was one of the earliest mutant resurrected as it was believed that his powers would allow him to act as a substitute for one of the Five, if needed. Though it was never tested, both Synch and Mimic are considered to be possible stand-ins for the Five.; While not an official rule, because of Moira's need for secrecy, no precognitive mutants were allowed on Krakoa and would therefore not be resurrected. Mystique managed to circumvent this by posing as Xavier and Magneto and orchestrating the resurrection of Destiny.; Unless otherwise noted, X-Force has full authority over individual resurrection protocols for security reasons.; Before being revealed to the world by Cyclops and Ben Urich, Krakoa's ability to resurrect the dead used to be a state secret. Even allies like the Avengers were not told of the Five's existence, with the Quiet Council ordering Jean Grey to remove memories of any sighting of the process.; Despite this secrecy, Magneto did share this information with Scarlet Witch. Trivia: Pyro was resurrected early on as a test to see if the process worked.; As a member of the Quiet Council, the White Queen has used her sway to prioritize the resurrection of culturally important mutants, like Jumbo Carnation.; Several beings have been powerful enough to partially resurrect themselves by placing their own minds into new husk bodies. These include:; Legion; Scarlet Witch; Vulcan History: ===Origin===; As part of the creation of the mutant nation of Krakoa, the Five were gathered to resurrect mutants who had met a premature end. The process is as follows; Egg uses his power to create eggs that will grow the mutant, Proteus manipulates reality to make the eggs viable, allowing Elixir to then use his biokinesis to fertilize the eggs and grow a husk body. Next Tempus manipulates time within the egg to grow the husk to its desired age. Additionally, Hope Summers allows for coordination between the other members of the Five and harmonizes their powers to complete the resurrection. Finally, when the husk emerges from the egg, Professor X (or a substitute telepath) telepathically imprints the mutant's mind from their most recent Cerebro backup into the husk. This processes usually takes between approximately 48-54 hours. However, in extraordinary circumstances, this process can be completed in as little as one hour. Mutants are resurrected at their "peak physical form", but the Five may also be unconsciously correcting minor imperfections as well. For example, one week after his resurrection, Synch demonstrated a 4% increase to his previously established natural abilities. His powers have since continued to expand.; Strict protocols were established early on to guide the terms of resurrection. These Resurrection Protocols offered structure and priority to govern the process of resurrection. For example, as the governing body of Krakoa, members of the Quiet Council receive priority in the resurrection queue.; Shortly after some of the earliest resurrections, a change was made to the Resurrection Protocols. For the mental wellness of those being resurrected, mutants are now being resurrected in established social groups or clusters. For example, Synch seemed to be experiencing difficulties adjusting after his resurrection, so Skin's resurrection was moved ahead of schedule so they could act as companions for one another.; While the Quiet Council does consider the advice and input of the Five, X-Factor Investigations is ultimately responsible for making final decisions on resurrection. However, in certain rare cases, others (like Beast and X-Force) are given ultimate authority over specific resurrections for security reasons.; ===The Crucible===; With resurrection made possible, there were concerns about depowered mutants committing suicide to be resurrected with their powers restored. Through several debates, the Quiet Council decided that for those who lost their powers on M-Day or were depowered by other means, resurrection with their powers fully restored could be made possible through The Crucible. When a depowered mutant was chosen for the Crucible, they must face • --|A|-- • in single combat and fight to the death. Only through valiantly fighting could the gift of resurrection and the restoration of their mutant powers be administered. Once • --|A|-- • left Krakoa, Silver Samurai appears to have taken over the ceremony. Now, instead of facing • --|A|-- • in combat, depowered mutants wanting to restore their powers through the Crucible are allowed to invite their own combatants. When no combatant can be found, volunteers are accepted.; After successfully completing the Crucible, combatants are moved to the head of the queue for a speedy resurrection. As noted by Doctor Nemesis, this practice is acting as a new evolutionary mechanism. This selection process means that resurrection will favor traits like strength, endurance, a warlike nature, and a certain level of personal recklessness.; ===Resurrecting Kate Pryde===; When Kate Pryde's lifeless body was discovered, her resurrection was made a priority of the Five. The Five tried multiple times to resurrect Kate, but none of her husks appeared viable as none stirred or broke out of their eggs. After 17 attempts, the Five were about to pause Kate’s resurrection to move on to others. However, through the supplication of both Nightcrawler and Emma Frost, Professor X agreed to one more attempt. On the eighteenth attempt, Emma guided Kate's husk to phase through the egg instead of bursting forth, and Kate was finally reborn.; ===X-Factor Investigation===; Becoming overwhelmed with resurrection requests and due to the complexities of establishing proof of death, the Five endorsed the formation of X-Factor Investigations. X-Factor Investigations was then tasked with solving cases of missing and/or potentially dead mutants and providing Proof of Death to the Five to trigger adding someone to the resurrection queue. Prior to the establishment of X-Factor Investigations, the Five relied merely on testimony/confirmation before initiating resurrection. This new higher standard for proof of death can often be difficult to establish despite eye-witnesses.; ===X of Swords===; After creating the External Gate to connect Krakoa and Otherworld, • --|A|-- • sent Summoner with Banshee and Unus the Untouchable to herald his arrival. When Summoner reemerged with a wounded and dying Banshee, he pleaded for help. To rescue Unus and assess the threat, • --|A|-- • led a small team of volunteers through the External Gate and was almost immediately ambushed by the First Horsemen. During the attack, Rockslide was killed and both • --|A|-- • and Rictor were wounded. Rictor died in the Healing Gardens after being brought back to Krakoa. As a casualty of war, his resurrection was fast tracked. Unfortunately, because Rockslide died in Otherworld, his resurrection did not go as planned even temporarily glitching all five Cerebros and leaving the Five and Xavier unconscious. As Otherworld is a nexus connected to the entirety of the Multiverse, when mutants die in Otherworld they cannot be properly resurrected. Instead, this resurrection will be a random amalgamation of their multiversal counterparts and their original Cerebro backup will be corrupted and lost forever. Gorgon also died in Otherworld and was later resurrected, but is also reportedly acting "strangely". Conversely to the Otherworld resurrections, individuals who died on Amenth were resurrected as more honed versions of themselves. Additionally, their actual Cerebro back-up were reduced in size resembling defragmentation of computer software. Both Wild Child and Nanny were resurrected as keener, sharper versions of themselves, but still certainly themselves. The Five have chosen not to make this information widely available.; ===Death of the Scarlet Witch===; When the Scarlet Witch was murdered at the Hellfire Gala, the Quiet Council was presented with a unique decision. Cerebro had created backups of both the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver when they were believed to be mutants, so resurrection was theoretically possible. Despite Magneto's pleading, the Quiet Council voted against resurrecting the Scarlet Witch by a 6-to-3 vote.; However, Wanda was eventually resurrected and, with the aid of Legion and Proteus, performed a magic ritual to create Krakoa's very own Elysium Field. This resulted in 20 million new mutants being added to the resurrection queue that either died before Cerebro was operational or died before their X-gene activated. The need for the Crucible was also replaced by the Waiting Room, where anyone who wanted to be resurrected could just step through a gate and be added to the queue. Additionally, the Waiting Room solved the problem of resurrecting mutants who had died in Otherworld, allowing them to return as their true selves instead of a multiversal amalgamation. The first lost mutant to be resurrected was the original Thunderbird.; ===The Great Ring of Arakko===; To serve on the Great Ring of Arakko, one must challenge a sitting member in the Circle Perilous and win. However, when two Krakoans (Storm and Magneto) gained seats on the Great Ring, the Arakkii members raised the issue of the resurrection protocols which the Arakkii's had fully rejected. As a demonstration of their commitment to serve Arakko, both Storm and Magneto chose to erase their Cerebro backups and opt out of future resurrections.; ===Going Public===; With rumors and suspicion mounting following the return of several seemingly deceased mutants to the public life, reporter Ben Urich began investigating the possibility of mutants secretly being resurrected. Per Quiet Council protocol, Synch used borrowed telepathic abilities to erase Urich's memories of the investigation. After learning that Orchis was planning to trap the X-Men in a lie about resurrection, Cyclops decided that he would come clean about Krakoan resurrection with Ben Urich just prior to the second Krakoan Hellfire Gala.; ===The Phoenix Foundation===; Following the trials of Judgment Day and the public revelations of mutant resurrection, Jean Grey proposed the creation of the Phoenix Foundation as a form of foreign aid. The Phoenix Foundation, independent from Krakoa, would select candidates with Jean personally scanning the those selected for immediate backup and recovery. Using five percent of the Five's work, the Phoenix Foundation prioritizes the vulnerable, the weak, the poor, and those whom the world abandoned for resurrection. Exodus vocally opposed against the formation of the Phoenix Foundation, but was outvoted.; ===Resurrection of Hope Summers===; When Mister Sinister killed Hope Summers, Professor X, Emma Frost, and Exodus as part of one of his schemes, Krakoa was left with a dilemma. Without Hope, the Five were left to their back-up plan for resurrection by using Mimic or Synch as a substitute. Although Mimic was too nervous, Synch was able to properly stand-in for Hope and resurrect her though it did cause considerably strain. However, unbeknownst to everyone, Sinister had been secretly been attempting to splice in his own DNA since the beginning of Krakoa while Hope had been subconsciously correcting this. But when she not part of the Five circuit, Sinister's DNA meddling was left unchecked. Forewarned by Mother Righteous and Rasputin IV, the Quiet Council was able to hold Hope Summers, Professor X, Emma Frost, and Exodus in the Pit of Exile until Forge and others were able to erase Sinister's DNA splicing. However, concerns still exist that Sinister may have tampered with them in other more secret methods.; ===Resurrection of Ms. Marvel===; When the Mutant-Inhuman Hybrid Ms. Marvel was resurrected by the Five, they failed to properly replicate the effects of Terrigenesis, causing Ms. Marvel's body to occasionally malfunction and melt whenever she tapped into her Inhuman polymorphing abilities, which taxed her cells beyond measure. When Ms. Marvel's condition worsened, she was immediately attended to by the Inhuman Royal Family, who were angered that the mutants of Krakoa did not contact them when Ms. Marvel was resurrected. To restabilize Ms. Marvel's body and save her life, the Inhumans exposed her to the Terrigen Mist to undergo Terrigenesis again, but doing so further delayed the activation of Ms. Marvel's dormant mutant powers.; ==Rules of Resurrection==; Article I. No resurrection will be initiated without proof of death.; Article II. -- Resurrection queue --; (a) --; (b) --; 1) --; 2) -- [Augury_Incident]; (c) --; Article III.

Additionally, it was decided that duplicates of other origin such as clones, time-traveling doubles, or alternate universe counterparts would also be ineligible for resurrection - or rather, only one of the duplicates would be allowed to exist at once. The exception was made for mutants with duplication as part of their gifts, such as James Madrox and the Stepford Cuckoos. Madelyne Pryor was specifically denied resurrection under this restriction, despite the pleas of Havok, as due to the similarities to their progenitors, clones they were not considered unique beings. Evan Sabahnur, a clone of • --|A|-- •, hasn't been resurrected either, likely for the same reason.; The Quiet Council allowed the resurrection of the older Cable so he could assist his younger self with hunting down Stryfe. Kid Cable requested it, knowing that in return he would return to the future to become the older Cable.; The Five later broke this rule by resurrecting Scout, a clone of Laura Kinney. They proceeded to send a memorandum requesting that the Council update their definitions of a "dupe", arguing that individuals such as Gabby, Madelyne Pryor, and Evan Sabahnur were their own individual people regardless of genetics, which was bolstered by the fact that Cerebro had separate backups for them. Emma Frost eventually convinced the Council to allow Madelyne Pryor to be resurrected as well, as a favor to Havok.; ==Confirmed Krakoan Resurrections== ============================================================ Rion's Pendant Kind: item Page: Rion's Pendant Formal name: Rion's Pendant Type: Amulet First appearance: Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Barry Smith Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Ivga; Conan; Rion of the Laughing Visage Notes: Much like Conan's Helmet, this pendant was an iconic part of the gear of Conan in his early years (both in- and out-of-universe). It was consistently depicted both on covers and in story from Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 1 (October, 1970) to 23 (February, 1973), with a few exceptions:; In Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 6 (June, 1971), 17 (August, 1972), and #23, it was not depicted on the cover.; In Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 12 (December, 1971): it was not depicted in the story, without an in-universe explanation for it.; It didn't appeared on the cover of Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 22 (January, 1973), which story was (due to delays) a reprint of "The Frost Giant's Daughter".; It also appeared in "The Frost Giant's Daughter", in Savage Tales Vol 1 1 (May, 1971), as well as on the cover and table of contents art of Savage Tales Vol 1 2 (October, 1973).; It was later reintroduced in Conan the Adventurer (mostly set during Conan's youth), being depicted both on covers and in story, from Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 1 (June, 1994) to 5 (October, 1994), on cover only in Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 6 (November, 1994), and on cover and story from Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 9 (February, 1995) to 14 (July, 1995), the final issue of the volume), with exception of Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 12 (May, 1995) where it was depicted only in the story. Conan the Adventurer #1 was echoed in "Aftermath--And a Beginning" (King-Size Conan Vol 1 1; Another pendant, likewise constituted of multiple discs though with a lighter design, appeared on the table of content art of Savage Tales Vol 1 3 (February, 1974), and in "Red Nails" (Savage Tales #2 and #3). A similar pendant appears in Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 8 (January, 1995) It is unclear if those pendants are supposed to be the same as Rion's.; Rion's pendant, along with Conan's Helmet, were trademarks of the early Marvel Conan design. Afterwards, they've been regularly used to distinguish young Conan from his older self, and Conan is often depicted wearing them in recountings/flashbacks.; Rion's pendant, or look-alikes, have appeared sometimes inconsistently with chronology:; Conan wears no pendant in "Valley Beyond the Stars" (Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 152; ... same? --> History: ===Origins===; This pendant was worn by Rion of the Laughing Visage, a warrior of the Cimmerian Snowhawk Tribe and friend of Conan.; He wore it during the Battle of Venarium, an outpost of Aquilonia in Cimmeria that the Cimmerians attacked and destroyed. After Rion's death at the hand of Metrius, the commander of the Aquilonian garrison, Conan took and wore the pendant as a way to remember him, considering that Rion was like a big brother to him.; ===Conan===; Conan wore it in his subsequent adventures.Conan the Adventurer Vol 1 14 (though was seen once without it in-between periods he wore it); Leaving Pah-Dishah and the wars between Hyrkanians and Turanians behind him, Conan went to revel in a village south of Makkalet, near the Zaporoska River, where he seemingly gave the pendant to Ivga, presumably for drinks and services. The village was attacked by Turanian soldiers and Ivga was killed, while Conan flew. The pendant was seemingly lost at that point.; Somehow, Conan wore the pendant back while working as a bounty hunter for the king of Arat Phan in Shem. He seemingly lost it during the battle at Arat Phan, but retrieved it afterwards, though he seemingly lost it by his next known adventure (see notes). ============================================================ Retaliator Mark II Kind: item Page: Retaliator Mark II Formal name: Retaliator II Type: Weapon First appearance: Cable: Reloaded Vol 1 1 Created by: Al Ewing; Bob Quinn Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Breakworld Current owner: X-Terminators; S.W.O.R.D Previous owners: Breakworlders Dimensions: Height: 20-30 meters History: An upgraded to the Retaliator design, a walking monolith which was taller than some of Earth's more grandiose skyscrapers. The mecha boasted transformative capabilities. Able to take on the semblance of both titanic automaton and space worthy transport/massive armament. It is impressively equipped with any manner of heavy ordinance from lasers to missile pods; bearing its main gun as a chest dial that can discharge titanic bullets similar to its preceding model.; Cable and his new team of X-Terminators took to re-appropriating this new weapon built by the new regime of Breakworld for the purpose of preempting the universal invasion of Dormammu of the Dark Dimension. They worked in conjunction with S.W.O.R.D's Commander Brand and Rocket of the Guardians of the Galaxy in order to infiltrate the warmongering planet to fire off a giant ballistic made of Mysterium at the Faltine-possessed Ego. ============================================================ Ring of Dread Kind: item Page: Ring of Dread Formal name: Ring of Dread Type: Magical Ring First appearance: Strange Academy Vol 1 8 Created by: Skottie Young; Humberto Ramos Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Strange Current owner: Emily Bright Material: Doyle Dormammu's bounding crown History: During a reckless rescue mission undertaken by some of the students of Strange Academy that resulted in Doyle Dormammu's death, Emily Bright unleashed her full power against the enemy by siphoning her power along with Doyle's, but this proved too much for her body and mind, and she fainted. When the faculty arrived to end the threat and rescue their students, Doctor Strange assisted Emily and brought her to the Medical Room at the School, alongside Doyle's corpse. After being healed by Hoggoth as part of a deal with Strange, Emily tried to travel to the Dark Dimension to ask Doyle's father for help, but failed to navigate through the obscure dimension. Finally accepting the fate of her dear friend, she then gave him a farewell kiss on the forehead, inadvertently bringing him back to life.; Despite Hoggoth's intervention, Emily still wasn't fully cured, so Doyle offered a bit of himself to forge the Ring of Dread, meant to neutralize the remaining dark energies Emily had invoked. Unbeknownst to them, however, the ring slowly started exerting its own influence on Emily and eventually fused with her hand. ============================================================ Rings of Rankhor Kind: item Page: Rings of Rankhor Formal name: Rings of Rankhor Type: Ring First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 2 13 Created by: Naomi Basner; Alan Kupperberg Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Cyrus Black; Hulk; Captain America; Spider-Man History: The Rings of Rankhor were owned by Cyrus Black and given to three children to transform them into versions of the Hulk, Captain America, and Spider-Man. The transformed kids attacked Nighthawk until he was able to trick the kids into removing the Rings. ============================================================ Robo One Kind: item Page: Robo One Formal name: Robo One Type: Robot First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 4 1 Created by: Jason Aaron; Marc Silvestri Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: U.S. Government History: Robo One were robotic weapons used in the Mad Squad commanded by Amanda von Doom.

He has several possible hand configurations, including a colossal yet human-like hand with fingers (seen as the right hand), a laser cannon replacing the left hand; and an alternative configuration where both hands are replaced with spiked balls. The outer shell is so strong that it barely gets dented when Superioribus punches it with his superior strength. The creature also has a retractile cannon that protudes from its chest.; The robot is powered by batteries that must be replaced regularly.; The robot is apparently controlled by a short human with a bushy dark beard. This man sends the robot to wreck a city for purposes unknown. As the police was unable to stop the robot, they called for superhero help, choosing Superioribus because Superioribus not only fights the giant robots, but he also delivers coupons when called. Superioribus fought the robot at least twice. One of these times (which was not the first one), the robot stopped moving at all because the batteries ran off; the man responsible for the robot ran to replace the battery and the robot continued the fight against Superioribus. History: When a giant robot attacked the city, a policeman phoned Superioribus - because he was the only superhero to give out coupons when called. ============================================================ Rhinegold Kind: item Page: Rhinegold Formal name: Rhinegold Type: Stone First appearance: Thor Vol 1 294 Created by: Roy Thomas; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Previous owners: Alberich; Rhinemaidens Material: Uru History: The Rhinegold was the hammer of a Thor that died in a previous Ragnarök and was thrown to Midgard by his sons Magni the Strong & Modi the Angry. As it passed from the ruins of old Asgard to Earth, it changed into blinding gold rock. Crashing into the earth, it changed the course of the river that would become known as the Rhine.; Some unknown time later, it came to be perched upon a tall rock amid the flowing river, guarded by three mermaids: Flosshilda, Vellgunda, Voglinda. One day, Alberich, a gnome of the Nibelung Clan, came upon it and tricked the mermaids into telling him its secrets. They revealed that world conquest would be the prize for anyone who could forge a ring from that golden horde. However, to gain enough magic to do so, they would have to renounce love in all its myriad forms, and no one would be mad enough to do so since love rules all that lives.; Hearing this, Alberich grabbed the Rhinegold and dashed away before the mermaids could stop him. He claimed that since he had never known love, he could not miss it, going so far as to renounce love and even curse it. ============================================================ Robotrons Kind: item Page: Robotrons Formal name: Robotrons Type: Piloted robots First appearance: Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 85 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Wilson Reality: Earth-616 Properties: The Robotrons were piloted robots built to withstand a nuclear holocaust. They possessed superhuman strength capable of lifting/pushing 20 tons, possessed front cannons capable of blast through 20 inches of titanium steel, and laser-blasts in place of hands capable of melting stone. History: The Robotrons were used by the second Atom Smasher's men when his base was attacked by the Thing, but despite the robots' abilities, they were no match against the Thing who defeated them and destroyed them all. ============================================================ Restoration Ray Kind: item Page: Restoration Ray Formal name: Restoration Ray Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 91 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Wilson Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Anath-Na Mut Place of creation: Egypt Place of destruction: Egypt Previous owners: Sphinx History: The Restoration Ray was a device built by the Sphinx, when Galactus defeated him and transported him to the past, but he erred, creating a time paradox in which the Sphinx met his younger self while finding the Ka Stone. Together they built the Restoration Ray, so while one relived his life as Galactus intended by creating a time loop, the other remained in suspended animation so as to bypass the time loop. Once awakened in the present, the Sphinx used the Restoration Ray to reconstitute the Ka Stone that had been pulverized by Galactus. With the Ka Stone not yet fully complete, the Thing destroyed the Restoration Ray while engaging the Sphinx hand-to-hand. ============================================================ Rocket-Powered Harpoon Kind: item Page: Rocket-Powered Harpoon Formal name: Rocket-Powered Harpoon Type: Weapon First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 25 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Place of creation: Castle Doom, Doomstadt, Latveria Place of destruction: Castle Doom, Doomstadt, Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom Properties: The Rocket-Powered Harpoon, as its name suggests, was a large harpoon propelled by a rocket that was launched from a device placed on a panel inside Castle Doom. History: Doctor Doom used it by launching a harpoon at the Avengers, but the harpoon smashed into Captain America's shield. Before Doom could launch a second harpoon, Hawkeye destroyed the harpoon's launch panel with a rigged arrow of his own. ============================================================ Restraining Harness Kind: item Page: Restraining Harness Formal name: Restraining Harness Type: Technology First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 155 Created by: Gerry Conway; George Perez Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Place of creation: Hydrobase Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom placed a Captain America on the Restraining Harness to get him to tell him why the Avengers had gone to the Hydrobase to eliminate the Sub-Mariner. ============================================================ Reverbium Kind: item Page: Reverbium Formal name: Reverbium Type: Metal First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 649 Created by: Dan Slott; Humberto Ramos Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Artificial vibranium Lead designer: Sajani Jaffrey Place of creation: Horizon Labs, Manhattan, New York City, New York Previous owners: Horizon Labs Properties: Unlike Wakandan Vibranium which tended to absorb vibrations, Reverbium instead released them explosively. History: Reverbium is an artificial metal invented by Sajani Jaffrey at Horizon Labs. It was originally conceived as an artificial Vibranium to replace the now nearly extinct Wakandan Vibranium, but during the experimental phase it had completely opposite effects to Vibranium. This made the metal attractive to the Kingpin who intended to use it as a weapon and to this end he hired Hobgoblin to steal it from Horizon Labs, while Max Modell intended to destroy it. ============================================================ Rock Armor (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Rock Armor (Earth-12041) Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers Assemble Season 1 17 Created by: Danielle Wolff; Man of Action Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Rock Tribe Place of creation: Savage Land Place of destruction: Savage Land Previous owners: Tony Stark Material: Obsidian Properties: This armor was made of a high density crystalline obsidian allowing it repel bullets. The armor also made use of vines that had been vulcanised to match the tensile strength of steel, allowing Stark to move like he does in his regular armor. The vines around the wrists had rocks attached to them that Tony used as melee weapons. History: While on the Savage Land without the use of his technology, Tony Stark got help from a Rock Tribe who helped him create a pseudo Iron Man Armor using materials found on the Island. Tony used the armor to rescue the Avengers and defeat Justin Hammer's dinosaur servants. The armor was destroyed when it was shot by Hammer with a laser gun. ============================================================ Rings of Vice Kind: item Page: Rings of Vice Formal name: Rings of Vice Type: Weapons; jewels First appearance: Warlock Vol 1 12 Created by: Jim Starlin Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Pro-Boscis History: The Rings of Vice were ring-shaped weapons said to be powerful enough to decimate a planet.

Trivia: Amongst other dark versions of Mjolnir there are Hellnir History: Hammer used by the undead Thor against Hawkeye, Captain Britain and Beast ============================================================ Rings of Compulsion Kind: item Page: Rings of Compulsion Formal name: Rings of Compulsion Type: Ring First appearance: Doctor Strange: Season One Vol 1 1 Created by: Greg Pak; Emma Rios Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Unnamed Bulgarian mystics Place of creation: Bulgaria Current owner: Vishanti Previous owners: Doctor Strange; Wong, Imogen Tuttle, Dr. Ahmad Amin, Sen. Ricky White Properties: The Rings of Compulsion were three ancient mystical artifacts described in the manuscript known as the Ukase of the Rings. According to the text, whoever succeeded in possessing all three rings simultaneously would gain the power to command the Vishanti—Agamotto, Oshtur, and Hoggoth—the triune entities who serve as the principal wellspring of white magic within Earth-616’s mystical hierarchy. History: The existence of the Rings of Compulsion came to light when Sofia di Cosimo uncovered the Ukase of the Rings while reorganizing misfiled archival documents at the museum where she was employed. Shortly after her discovery, she was pursued by demonic entities, apparently drawn to the manuscript and the dangerous knowledge it contained. Seeking protection, Sofia fled to Kamar-Taj. There, she encountered Wong and Doctor Stephen Strange. The two students of the Mystic Arts confronted and successfully repelled the pursuing demonic forces. Once safe, Sofia explained her discovery and revealed the contents of the Ukase, warning that the three rings described within the manuscript could potentially grant dominion over the Vishanti. Recognizing the catastrophic implications should such artifacts fall into malevolent hands, Strange, Wong, and Sofia began a search to locate and secure the three Rings of Compulsion.; The first ring was traced to a United States Senator from Salem, Massachusetts, who was the last descendant of the man historically credited with burning the final witch during the Salem witch trials. The ring had remained within his family line for generations. Strange and his allies succeeded in confiscating the artifact from the Senator, preventing its continued misuse.; The second ring was located in Cairo, in the possession of a physician who used its mystical influence for the benefit of his community. Unlike the previous bearer, the doctor employed the ring altruistically, enhancing his ability to heal and protect his people. Though acknowledging his benevolent intentions, Strange and Wong nonetheless reclaimed the ring, regretful that its removal would deprive the community of its hidden advantage.; The third ring was discovered in London, wielded by Imogen Tuttle, who identified herself as the “Fourth Guardian.” Tuttle fiercely defended the artifact, believing herself divinely chosen to safeguard its power. Strange and his allies were forced into direct confrontation before ultimately overcoming her and securing the final ring. Before the artifacts could be properly neutralized, Baron Mordo intervened. Seeking to exploit the prophecy of the Ukase, Mordo manipulated events so that Wong came into possession of all three rings simultaneously. However, Wong was unable to fully control their combined power.; Through the rings, he experienced a catastrophic vision in which the Vishanti themselves appeared vulnerable and at the mercy of Dormammu. Realizing the immense danger posed by the rings’ unrestrained influence, Doctor Strange reclaimed them. After defeating Mordo, Strange determined that no mortal should wield such authority over the Vishanti. Rather than destroy the artifacts outright, he relinquished them directly to the Vishanti, ensuring that their power could no longer be exploited by earthly hands. ============================================================ Rocket's Laser Cannon (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Rocket's Laser Cannon Formal name: Rocket's Laser Cannon Type: Firearm First appearance: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Prelude Vol 1 2 Created by: James Gunn; Nicole Perlman Reality: Earth-199999 Current owner: Rocket Raccoon Previous owners: Zade Scraggot Alternate owners: Cassandra Nova's Marauders Formerly; Rocket Raccoon; Rocket Raccoon; Rocket Raccoon History: Laser Cannon is a gun that was used by Rocket Raccoon.; ==Alternate Universes==; ===Pruned to the Void===; In an alternate reality, a version of the gun was pruned to the Void by the Time Variance Authority, where it was found and used by Cassandra Nova's Marauders. When the Resistance stormed their stronghold, a marauder pointed the gun towards them alongside all other gun users. The marauder later on during the fight, fired the gun at the Resistance. The marauder wielding it was eventually killed along with all other marauders except for Pyro. ============================================================ Rom's Translator Kind: item Page: Rom's Translator Formal name: Rom's Translator Type: Translator First appearance: Rom Vol 1 1 Created by: Bryan L. McCoy; Bill Mantlo; Jim Shooter; Jo Duffy; Sal Buscema; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Galadorian Place of creation: Galador Current owner: Rom History: This translator is a complex Galadorian computer originally programmed with the linguistics of all languages known to Galadorian scientists. It allows Rom to quickly learn new languages after it collects enough samples of the language used. The translator is also capable of scanning written text and adding to the knowledge base of the Spaceknight.; When not in use, the translator is stored in a fold in Sub-Space and can be accessed quickly by a mental command from Rom. ============================================================ Rom's Neutralizer Kind: item Page: Rom's Neutralizer Formal name: Neutralizer Other aliases: Axadar Type: Energy Weapon; Firearm First appearance: Rom Vol 1 1 Created by: Bryan L. McCoy; Bill Mantlo; Jim Shooter; Jo Duffy; Sal Buscema; John Romita Jr. Origin: Galadorian Place of creation: Galador Current owner: Liberator (Tristan) Previous owners: Rom Notes: The Neutralizer and the Energy Analyzer were mistakenly labeled in reverse in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 1 15. In addition to this, artist Eliot R. Brown gave both items a significant redesign that differs greatly from their actual appearance shown in the interior art of Rom Vol 1. The classification error was later corrected in issue #11 of the Deluxe Edition, but the redesign was retained despite its inaccuracy.; In the Spaceknights Vol 1 Limited Series, the Neutralizer is called "Axadar" and appears in a different form than seen in the ROM series, due to Marvel having lost the rights to that specific weapon. Its new form is described as being a sentient device and must select someone for them to be able to wield it. In this way, it rejects Rom and Brandy's oldest son Balin and later comes to the aid of the younger son Tristan and bonds with him.; The Neutralizer is capable of slaying Deathwings, but when Galactus sought to consume Galador, it was ineffective against his personal shields.; The Spaceknight Terminator had his armor reshaped by the renegade Mentus into a duplicate of Rom and grafted to the remainder of Rom's humanity that was stolen from the Hall of Science. He was given a duplicate of Rom's Neutralizer and was able to use it due to the neuro-signature of Rom's humanity that he stole.; Quasimodo was able to fire the Neutralizer while inhabiting Rom's armor after he had cloned Rom and removed his humanity from the armor. Trivia: Reed Richards can be seen carrying an object very similar to Rom's Neutralizer in FF Vol 1 9. History: The Neutralizer is the greatest weapon ever created by the Galadorians. It was created on Galador and given to Rom to battle against the Dire Wraiths attempting to invade the planet. The weapon is stored in a pocket of subspace until called upon by Rom when it then appears in his hand. The device is keyed to Rom's neuro-signature as a safeguard preventing anyone else from using it. Anyone attempting to fire the Neutralizer receives a severe feedback shock. Kitty Pryde was able to use the weapon briefly by using her phasing abilities as instructed by Rom, but her hands were severely burned. The only other occurrence of an individual able to fire it was when Brandy Clark was telepathically shielded by Charles Xavier while firing on Hybrid.; The Neutralizer has the ability to negate whatever forms of energy it encounters including the arcane magic of the Dire Wraiths, although this doesn't prevent the Dire Wraiths to recast a spell. When used on its lowest settings, it can cancel out radiation. In this way, Rom was able to cause The Thing to temporarily revert to human form, but because of the cosmic radiation was so interlocked with his cells the change was only momentary. Rom also was able to lessen the gamma radiation induced rage of The Hulk; though it didn't revert him back to human form, it allowed his intellect to regain control. Rom was also able to cure the radiation sickness of normal humans. Higher settings can kill or open a portal to the dimension of Limbo. When used on a Wraith, it strips them of their disguises, opens the portal, and banishes them to Limbo. ============================================================ Ruby-Quartz Kind: item Page: Ruby-Quartz Formal name: Ruby-Quartz Type: Material First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 1 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Crystal Place of creation: Earth Current owner: Cyclops Properties: Optic Blast Deflection: Ruby-Quartz is the only known natural substance that can block the optic blasts of Cyclops without damage. The crystal resonates at the same frequency as the psionic field that protects both Cyclops and Havok from their own powers. Notes: In New X-Men Vol 1 131, Cyclops explains that light turns yellow in the Ruby-Quartz shield of his visor. However, a flashback in Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 14 has Scott mention that he sees things tinged with red. This second account is reinforced in Champions Vol 2 12, in which a series of panels shown from Cyclops' point of view are colored in shades of red.; In the X-Men: Evolution episodes X-Men: Evolution Season 1 13 and X-Men: Evolution Season 3 5, Cyclops' point of view is also shown colored in shades of red. History: ===Known Uses===; Cyclops' Visor; Hellfire Knight Armor; Hodge's android double armor; Ruby-Quartz Contact Lenses; Ruby-Quartz Rifle; Ruby-Quartz Sunglasses; Ruby-Quartz Helmet; Ruby-Quartz Armor ============================================================ Sapien Deathmatch Armor (Earth-58163) Kind: item Page: Sapien Deathmatch Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man: House of M Vol 1 1 Created by: Greg Pak; Pat Lee Reality: Earth-58163 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Anthony Stark (Earth-58163) Properties: The armor had various weapons. An extendable laser cannon was most prominent. It also possesses repulsors, a flamethrower, pulse beams, a taser, and a unibeam. Heat-seeking missiles and probes could be launched from its backpack.; The "JARVIS" artificial intelligence system handled many functions. Image inducers allowed Stark to conduct business as usual while out as Iron Man. "Counter magnets" provided some protection against Magneto. History: This armor was built during the confrontations between mutants led by Magneto and the Sentinels; the mutants won before it could be put into use.; While using a standard armor for the extremely popular Sapien Deathmatch, Stark used this more powerful version while acting as Iron Man.; As Iron Man, Stark uncovered his father Howard Stark and Hank Pym's plans to detonate genome bombs. ============================================================ Ruby of Dominion Kind: item Page: Ruby of Dominion Formal name: Ruby of Dominion and/or Ruby of Domination Type: Jewel First appearance: Marvel Fanfare Vol 1 20 Created by: Jim Starlin Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Xandu History: The Ruby of Dominion is a talisman that allows its wielder to control at least one other being. The Ruby can become even more powerful when the Eye of Agamotto is used as a magical conduct. The number of beings that the ruby is able to control can increase because of the boost in power. And on this level, it will be possible to control a very large mass of people (or other living beings).; ===In Xanadu's Control===; The Sorcerer Xandu was able to use it against the Hulk, but Thing and Doctor Strange were able to free him and they shattered the Ruby. ============================================================ Ruby-Quartz Helmet Kind: item Page: Ruby-Quartz Helmet Formal name: Ruby-Quartz Helmet Type: Helmet; Visor First appearance: Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 132 Created by: Chris Claremont; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Hellfire Club Additional designers: Frost International Previous owners: Hellfire Club; Frost International; Cyclops Material: Ruby-Quartz History: One of the earliest versions was made by the Hellfire Club and secured to Scott's head with a locked strap below his ears.; The Hellfire Club learned of Cyclops' inability to penetrate Ruby-Quartz when Warhawk infiltrated Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters on a fact-finding mission. Emma Frost's technicians at Frost International developed an adhesive Ruby-Quartz gel that was deployed by a Hellfire Knight based on the data stolen by Warhawk.; The Ruby-Quartz helmet was redesigned and put on the imprisoned Scott Summers after the Avengers vs. X-Men conflict and the death of Charles Xavier. It was later destroyed when Cyclops broke out of prison. ============================================================ Runestaff Kind: item Page: Runestaff Formal name: Runestaff Type: Staff First appearance: Thor Vol 1 235 Created by: Gerry Conway; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Darkstar; Kamo Tharnn History: Seeking to reclaim his Runestaff, Kamo Tharnn began moving his planet across space, eventually bringing it close enough to Earth's sun to feel faint warmth. To stop the Null-Life Bomb, the Stranger, who did not realize the Runestaff had been brought to Earth, transported Los Angeles' Champions to Kamo Tharnn's world. Hercules swiftly identified the world, while Tharnn recognized Hercules' voice, vowing the one who stole his Runestaff would die. As the other Champions defeated Tharnn, Darkstar and Iceman arrived on Earth, within the Null-Life bomb in which the Stranger had become trapped, and informed him that the Runestaff was still on Earth. Sensing the Runestaff's location, the Stranger opened a rift in the hyper-space within the bomb's dimensional wall, and Darkstar reached in and claimed the Runestaff from a broom closet in Midtown Hospital. Under the Stranger's instruction and with his own power added to hers, Darkstar added the Runestaff's power to the Null-Life Bomb's energies, forcing it to grow faster than it had been designed to do; the expansion exceeded the bomb's programming, effectively driving it mad, and causing it to expand forever into cosmic nothingness. The bomb thus somehow ceased to affect the physical world, releasing all those previously trapped within it. The Runestaff was not seen during Darkstar's recovery or the Stranger's departure. ============================================================ Sacred Sword of Satan Kind: item Page: Sacred Sword of Satan Formal name: Sacred Sword of Satan Type: Sword First appearance: Ghost Rider Vol 2 2 Created by: Gary Friedrich; Jim Mooney Origin: Demonic; Magical Lead designer: Lucifer Previous owners: Lucifer History: Satan disguised himself as Witch-Woman in order move more easily in the mortal world. Ghost Rider ran away from him, but Satan's demons descended upon him. As the demons overwhelmed the Rider, the Devil produced the Sacred Sword of Satan. With it, he intended on making Johnny Blaze his prisoner for all eternity. ============================================================ S.H.I.E.L.D. Flight Pack Kind: item Page: S.H.I.E.L.D. Flight Pack Formal name: S.H.I.E.L.D. Flight Pack Other aliases: S.H.I.E.L.D. Rocket Pack; S.H.I.E.L.D. Jet Pack Type: Flight Harness First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 151 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Additional designers: Stark Industries Current owner: Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate History: A SHIELD flight pack was a common item used by agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. The pack was attached to a harness, and worn across the back, enabling agents limited flight capability within atmospheric environments. The original flight packs incorporated twin rocket thruster engines, but later, more advanced models used a wing assembly that attached to an agent's body armor. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents used these flight packs during assault drops from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier and they became particularly useful during S.H.I.E.L.D.s numerous battles against the terrorist organization known as HYDRA. A special S.H.I.E.L.D. detachment known as the Godzilla Squad also used flight packs in their mission to safeguard American interests from the threat of the giant monster Godzilla. Following the "Civil War", the flight packs were incorporated into an agent's body armor and were first deployed over Kirikhstan in an effort to stop the rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist Nicolas Weir and the mutated Overkill Horn. These models were first used by the impromptu flight unit dubbed "Tim Dugan's Flying Commandos". ============================================================ Runes Kind: item Page: Runes Formal name: The Runes Type: Artifact First appearance: Thor Vol 1 360 Created by: Walter Simonson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Place of creation: Asgard Previous owners: Odin; Thor History: The Runes are magical artifacts that grant their wielder access to knowledge that he or she normally couldn't obtain. They were acquired by Odin and were later passed onto Thor. It is implied that the knowledge the Runes provide depends on what a person has lived through. In Odin's case, because he was a god, he became all-knowing of the ways of the gods, but Thor, from his time as a god and human, gained even more knowledge than Odin, giving him all the knowledge of the gods, but also of humans, as he became all-knowing of everything from animal to mineral, effectively making him omniscient. The Runes also gave him many magic spells; only a few were shown. One of these spells can apparently grant the owner the ability to will other beings into nothingness. When used in conjunction with the Odin-Force, they grant the user outstanding power to limits that have yet to be shown. However, some feats include severing Loki's head and keeping him alive, destroying the Asgardian universe, and defeating if not killing Those Who Sit Above in Shadow. ============================================================ Ruinsaw of Giza Kind: item Page: Ruinsaw of Giza Formal name: Ruinsaw of Giza Type: Weapon First appearance: Hellstorm: Prince of Lies Vol 1 20 Created by: Warren Ellis; Martin Chaplin Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver Previous owners: Stephen Loss History: The Ruinsaw of Giza looks like a circular saw attached to a gun handle. A blue energy is emitted from the blade. Stephen Loss used it to wipe out a town in Delaware in 1923 in a single hour. Little else is known about it. ============================================================ Samurai Robots (Earth-8107) Kind: item Page: Samurai Robots Formal name: Samurai Robots Type: Robot First appearance: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Season 1 4 Created by: Christy Marx Reality: Earth-8107 Lead designer: Genju Yoshida History: Genju Yoshida created an army of Samurai Robots. ============================================================ Ruby Scarab Kind: item Page: Ruby Scarab Formal name: Ruby Scarab Other aliases: Scarlet Scarab Type: Jewel First appearance: Supernatural Thrillers Vol 1 8 Created by: Tony Isabella; Val Mayerik Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Egyptian Lead designer: Garrett Additional designers: Dann Place of creation: Egypt Previous owners: Dann, Garrett, Living Mummy; Dr. Alexi Skarab; Asp Trivia: The Ruby Scarab is a reference to the first Blue Beetle, Dan Garrett, who obtained his powers from a similar artifact. History: Millennia ago, the Elementals had created a kingdom for themselves on Earth, a kingdom that they sought to expand into the land that would later come to be known as Egypt. When they tried to enslave the local population, however, they were opposed by a young warrior named Dann and a wizard named Garrett. These two joined their souls to arcane magics which created the Ruby Scarab. Dann, wielding the Scarab was able to sap the Elementals powers and banish them to another universe.; In the modern age, the Elementals teleported N'Kantu, The Living Mummy, to their world in order to use him to retrieve the Scarab for them so that they could return to conquer Earth unopposed. Under the command of the Elementals, the Living Mummy was transported to the pyramid headquarters of the Living Pharaoh, who was using the gem to restore his lost mutant powers. During the ensuing battle, the Scarab was stolen by the Asp who planned to sell it in order to become rich. He and his partner Olddann soon sold the Scarab to Doctor Alexi Skarab, the descendent of the warrior Dann. When the Elementals took over Cairo and sealed it within an impenetrable force field, Skarab attempted to unlock its power to defeat them. Initially failing, he was eventually visited by the spirit of Dann who revealed the Scarab's secrets. When next confronted by the Elementals, Skarab was able to use the Scarab's power to defeat them, flinging them across the dimensions themselves. Believing the Scarab to have been drained during the battle sealed it away, not realizing that the Asp, Olddann, and their new ally, the former Elemental Zephyr had stolen it once again. Later, the Elementals again tried to obtain the Scarab in a battle against Ms. Marvel. ============================================================ Rose of Purity Kind: item Page: Rose of Purity Formal name: Rose of Purity Type: Plant First appearance: Defenders Vol 1 107 Created by: J.M. DeMatteis Reality: Earth-616 History: The Rose of Purity is an empathic plant or plantlike alien.

They are created specifically to capture and contain cross-species, should any escape.; == Variations ==; ===Drones===; "Drones" are small, spider-like S-Bots. While very easily destroyed, they can either deploy a shield to protect themselves, or attach to an enemy an electrocute them. The drones are very common, and were seen very often throughout the Cross-Species outbreak.; ===The S-01===; The S-01 is a very large S-Bot. Despite its massive size, it is cripplingly flawed in design. A majority of its weak spots are very clearly exposed, and Spider-Man was able to take out it's navigation systems with minimal effort.

While it is not as big as the S-01 or the S-02, it is notably faster than them, able to very easily outrun Spider-Man. It is able to fire quick, short bursts of electricity, and if given the opportunity, it will call for back-up. While earlier models were made to handle all cross-species, the later models were made exclusively to take out Spider-Man.; ===The S-03===; Unlike the previous incarnations, the S-03 is a suit. It has only been seen worn by Alistaire Smythe, but it is presumed that others may wear it as well. It seems to be capable of flight, or at least hovering. It has two mounted cannons on both shoulders. Despite its later appearances, it is relatively weaker than the S-02 and S-01, but still stronger than the Drones and Hunters. ============================================================ Rubber Ducky Armor (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Rubber Ducky Armor (Earth-12041) Formal name: Rubber Ducky Armor Other aliases: Hydro Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers Assemble Season 1 9 Created by: Jeff Allen; Man of Action; Jacob Semahn Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Tower Current owner: Tony Stark Notes: Rubber Ducky appears to be based on one of the adaptations of Earth-534834's Iron Man's Modular Armor and subsequently the original Hydro Armor Earth-616's Tony Stark built for underwater travel.; Rubber Ducky's color scheme is later changed to resemble Earth-199999's Iron Man's Deep Sea Suit Trivia: The armor is similar in appearance to a "Storm Surge" armor seen in the action figure line Iron Man: Armored Avenger by Hasbro in 2011, which was based on designs created by artist Phil Saunders in 2007 as concept art for the first Iron Man film.

This ability was never fully explained, nor were its limits.; Time-Travel: Nemesis was able to use her sword Scell to open portals through time. However, in order to do so, she requires a blood sacrifice of one who has been to the timeline in question. Nemesis stabs the one person for the destined time and then another time to send that person back.; Superhuman Durability: During Heather Hudson's tenure as Nemesis, Scell was able to protect her from otherwise fatal injuries.; ==Weaknesses==; Due to its blade being made out Promethium, Scell must feed on the life-force on its victims in order to use its powers, failure to do so would cause the sword to draw on the life-force of its wielder instead. As Isabel St. Ives, Jane Thorne and Amelia Weatherly were all undead, Scell did not draw on their life-forces when wielded by them. When Heather Hudson wielded Scell, her living status and lack of victims killed with the sword would result in her life-force being quickly depleted every time she used Scell's powers, potentially causing her death. History: Scell is a Promethium soulsword. Holding it, Nemesis is the living embodiment of the spirit of retribution, the full extent of her abilities were never stated. Being technically "dead", Nemesis' body continued to function strictly as a result of her physical connection to Scell. Since Nemesis' second death, the fate of the sword remained unknown for a long time.; When Heather Hudson assumed the identity of Nemesis, she also inherited Scell. ============================================================ Screaming Idol Kind: item Page: Screaming Idol Formal name: Screaming Idol Type: Idol First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 129 Created by: Don Rico; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Tiboro Previous owners: R.B.

Lead designer: Anthony Stark Additional designers: None Place of creation: Geosynchronous orbit around the Earth Current owner: James "Rhodey" Rhodes Previous owners: Anthony Stark Model: Mk I Version: Prototype History: Immediately following the Civil War, Anthony Stark was appointed the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. As a futurist, he foresaw severe repercussions resulting from the war, and took measures to safeguard Earth in the event of an attack that Earth's heroes could not repel. To this end, he designed and built in secret a satellite station in orbit around the Earth. Not even the upper echelon of S.H.I.E.L.D. was aware of its existence.; In the event that an enemy force should ever find a way to compromise Stark's technology, Tony was careful not to include any of his patented Starktech designs into the station's construction. Stark's fears became realized during the Secret Invasion when a squadron of Skrulls based out of the Savage Land found a way to destabilize Tony's Iron Man Armor. Fearing that his own death was imminent, Stark sent out a holographic distress signal to his close friend Jim Rhodes, with instructions to take command of the satellite.; Assisting Rhodes was the former Force Works member known as Cybermancer. Rhodes assumed control of the satellite's command hub, and with Cybermancer's expertise, discovered that the entire station was actually one giant Iron Man armor. Rhodey transformed the satellite into its armor mode and effectively destroyed a Skrull armada that had been approaching the Earth with all its firepower.; Shortly thereafter, Rhodey reunited with one of his old contemporaries, Parnell Jacobs.

These were always courtesy of third party suppliers - since Gargan himself possesses no aptitude for engineering. Dr. Farley Stillwell created his original suit, with funding provided by J. Jonah Jameson.; Later versions were provided by Justin Hammer, and other large corporations and governments seeking to maximize the lethality of their hired assassin. The most recent design consisted of an inner woven Kevlar layer, covered with a thick layer of insulation/padding, and topped with a high-tech composite armor plating, making him impervious to small firearms.; ==Components==; ===Electro-Mechanical Tail===; The Scorpion's battle suit was originally equipped with a powerful tail that he could whip at speeds up to over 90 miles per hour. The tail varied in length with each design - from an original 4' version, up to 20' in other implementations. His most recent tail before gaining the Venom symbiote was approximately 10' in length. His tail was powered by a self-contained power pack mounted on the back of his battle suit. The tail was connected via a cybernetic link to the fine muscles of his spinal column when he dons his suit, enabling him to direct the tail by involuntary nerve impulses and activated by his mental commands.; Internally, the tail consisted of a series of separated circular plates connected by a matrix of steel cables. Solenoids contract the cables and manipulate the tail, allowing it to whip at speeds of over 150 feet per second. The tail was also armored, and was tipped with a spike, making it deadly in combat. He had mastered the use of his tail to the point that he could use it as both a bludgeon, projectile launcher, or as a fifth limb (he had also upgraded its flexibility several times, making it much more efficient in combat). By coiling his tail behind him and using it as a spring, the Scorpion could propel himself over thirty feet into the air.; Over the years, he had modified and enhanced it countless times, acquiring upgrades from the likes of Justin Hammer and the Tinkerer, who equipped it with a poisonous barb with venom installed or a form of hypnogen, electrical blasts (he could also channel electricity through it to shock anyone who tried to grab him by the tail or short-circuit electrical equipment), laser blasts, acid blasts, and mace gas.; ===Pincers===; Alistair Smythe's enhancements on the Scorpion's gloves gave him pincers on each hand.; ===Transparent Membrane===; When the Scorpion was employed by Justin Hammer, Mac Gargan's eye holes were covered by a transparent membrane rigged to dissolve Spider-Man's webbing, should Spider-Man try to blind him as he did in past battles. It is unclear if his later costumes retained this.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-1048, Like in the comics, Jameson bankrolled the experiment that gave Mac the Scorpion suit. The suit is more armored and tech'd out and allows him to surfaces with its claws. The scorpion tail is not only capable of shooting acid but also a poison that gives its victims nightmarish hallucinations before as they're dying.; Marvel's Spider-Man: Hostile Takeover; On Earth-1610, The Scorpion suit worn by Peter Parker (clone) can shoot an acid that erupts from his tail as well as acid shooters on his upper-hand, similar to Spider-Man's web shooters. His design is very close to the original Mac Gargan incarnation of the Scorpion, with the exception of sleekness to the design, and a dome like hunch which becomes the dangerous tail, giving the appearance of an actual scorpion's exo-skeleton. The tail was also fused to his spinal cord, which Invisible Woman of the Ultimate Fantastic Four referred to as an "illegal biograft". His costume's lens were similar to Spidey's ultimate lens.; Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 1 97; On Earth-12041, Scorpion, initially wore a ninja-like scorpion armor, equipped with a hook-shaped, blade connected to a wired rope as his stinger, sometimes he even laces it with poison. Upon being recruited into the Sinister Six by Otto Octavius, Doc Ock upgraded his suit to be more technologically advanced using Oscorp tech, the armor grants him enhanced strength and now has a large scorpion tail plus large pincer-like blades on each of his arms. Later his suit was remolded to resemble that of the comics, it now shows to be able to shoot acid from his tail, give him the ability to cling most surfaces with its claws and make him invisible to scanners. It no longer has the aforementioned pincer blades. The suit was at one point bonded with the Venom symbiote.; Ultimate Spider-Man (animated series) Season 2 25 ============================================================ Scepter of the Manticore (Earth-61610) Kind: item Page: Scepter of the Manticore Formal name: Scepter of the Manticore Type: Scepter First appearance: Mrs. Deadpool and the Howling Commandos Vol 1 1 Created by: Gerry Duggan; Salvador Espin Reality: Earth-61610 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Baqir; Shiklah; Dracula History: Amjad and his brother Baqir found the map leading to the sceptre and retrieved its hilt; however, Dracula killed them before they could finish their quest.

The machine included metallic spheres orbitting a magnetical core. The balls were virtually unstoppable and presented a real threat when approaching an enemy. Spider-man disabled the machine by covering the core with web, thus nullifying the power source of the spheres. The spheres fell harmlessly to the floor… except because later Spider-man tripped on the balls and fell, giving the advantage to Doom. Doom was forced to retreat from the fight just at that point.; ==In Other Universes==; ===Earth-98121===; In this universe, Doctor Doom also uses the (unnamed) Satellite Machine in his first encounter with Spider-man. Like in Earth-616, Spider-man understands that the attacking spheres orbit a core and covers it with web, making the balls fall harmlessly. Unlike in Earth-616, Spider-man never trips on the immobile balls. ============================================================ Scanbot Kind: item Page: Scanbot Formal name: Scanbot Type: Robot First appearance: Fantastic Four vs. the X-Men Vol 1 1 Created by: Chris Claremont; John Bogdanove Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of destruction: Muir Island Current owner: Moira MacTaggert Previous owners: Doctor Doom History: This metallic mechanoid developed by Victor von Doom was a robotic framework covered by human-like skin that could fool medical sensors. It looked like a human male, until it decided to reveal its real neature by literally dissolving its skin.

The robot impersonated a shipwreck fisherman from the trawler Mary Rose whom X-Man Longshot luckily found in the open sea and took to Muir.; Once in the infirmiry, when the Scanbot decided no-one would notice its presence, it stood up and started its transformation. It was seen by nurse Sharon Friedlander. Its mission compromised, the Scanbot neutralized the potential threat without permanently harming Friedlander. The robot, knowing everything it needed, then moved to greet the X-Men, their host Dr. Moira MacTaggert and newly-arrivals the Fantastic Four. The robot projected a hologram of Doom, who took the chance to negotiate with the X-Men before retiring. While the X-Men and their allies considered Doom's offer, X-Man Magneto used his metal-controlling superpowers to reconfigure the construct into a gurney for injured X-Woman Storm. ============================================================ Second Dance Gem Kind: item Page: Second Dance Gem Formal name: Dance Gem Other aliases: Second Dance Gem Type: Jewel First appearance: Howard the Duck Vol 5 4 Created by: Chip Zdarsky; Joe Quinones Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Talos the Untamed History: The second Dance Gem is one of the five stones that make up the Abundant Glove.

Space Platform; Scream Type: Technology First appearance: Klaws of the Panther Vol 1 3 Created by: Jonathan Maberry; Gianluca Gugliotta Reality: Earth-616 Origin: An orbital mind control device powered by Anti-metal, petitioned by Klaww and conceived by Advanced Idea Mechanic. Lead designer: Klaww Additional designers: D.C.1. Place of creation: New York Place of destruction: Space Current owner: Princess Shuri Previous owners: Klaww; A.I.M Material: Vibranium Properties: The Scream orbital station was conceived by Ulysses Klaw as as means of global conquest through the acquisition of any and all Savage Land Vibranium in the use of a missile guidance system to take out every adjacent satellite system orbiting the planet. The Anti-Metal payload served the purpose of disabling any surrounding onboard computer systems around the world, then slaving them to the platforms own onboard operational network. Effectively turning every CPU the Scream system has assimilated into a single sonic distribution carrier, guided by Klaw's satellite array.; Using M.U.S.I.C as it's generator to amplify the Antarctic Vibranium's sonic tune as well as serving to bolster Klaw's own sound based powers as his captive's sonic vibrations blanketed the earth. The s.l.v flash melting all the circuitry within all communications networking systems around the Earth, even the older reinforced processing units designed by S.H.I.E.L.D and/or others. Then releasing a sustained sonic blast for 20sec afterward, emitting a mind altering vibratory pulse which liquidates the individual psyches of everyone across the planet. History: A remodeled cold war era soviet space station modified using North Korean and Chinese anti-intrusion tech. into an orbital weapons system designed in secret by Advanced Idea Mechanics under supervision by the Master of sound, Ulysses Klaw. To that end the villain and his A.I.M. cohorts scoured the globe seeking to scrounge up or destroy any and all remaining bits of Antarctic Vibranium left behind after the Doomwar, be it hidden deposits found anywhere on the planet to shady types selling it on the black market.; A pursuit which inevitably lead them into conflict with Ka-Zar, Shanna and current Black Panther Princess Shuri. Eventually the purpose of the Scream Satellite system was revealed in a twofold stage by one of their employee's when interrogated by Shuri and Spider-Man. Wherein Klaw discovered an inherent property of Savage Land Vibranium that can be used to disable any and all security systems on Earth from outer orbit, while also emitting a sustained sonic pulse which would break down the conscious resistance of any cognizant minds affected by it.; The S.L.V was only a small part of the greater puzzle however, as it still needed a core power source to channel the energy pulse needed to affect the wills of everyone across the globe.; Which is where the daughter of an A.I.M. underboss came into play.

They were part of a set of three crowns created to harness the power of the Dark Children.; The Wyrm, the eternal rival of Set, has also its own crown, the Wyrm Crown. Trivia: The Serpent Crown was involved in the events such as the Saga of the Serpent Crown and Atlantis Attacks. History: ===Origin===; The Serpent Crown was created in the final days of pre-Cataclysmic Lemuria. Trapped in a pocket dimension since before the time of man, the Elder God Set influenced the Earth through his Serpent-Men and the spread of his worship. The famed human alchemist Atra was instructed by the Serpent-Men on how to create a vessel for Set's power, which Atra hoped to use to overthrow Deviant emperor Phraug and their totalitarian rule of the humans of Lemuria. Set corrupted Atra's mind over time, however, so he turned to evil and killed his own daughter for standing in his way. When he confronted Phraug, Atra was surprised to learn the Deviant was also a Set-worshipper; they had simply manipulated Atra into creating the Serpent Crown for them. Atra and Phraug fought over the Crown as Lemuria fell before the assault of the Second Host of the Celestials, and the Crown was lost in the Cataclysm.; The Serpent Crown was lost until six hundred years ago, when it was discovered by Naga. One of the water-breathing people who founded a new Lemuria under the seas, King Naga discovered the Crown in cursed waters and used it to declare himself God-Emperor of Lemuria and representative of Set himself.; Naga had the Crown alchemically treated so that wearing it made his lifespan virtually immortal. However, a revolt against his tyrannical rule eventually came from a pact of telepathic Lemurians, who stole the Crown in the dead of night and carried it to Antarctica. Establishing a colony eventually known as the Ancients, the rebels encased the Crown in a metal to lessen its hypnotic influence. Over time, however, one of the brothers who founded the colony, Psycatos, succumbed to its influence and was transformed into the almost mirror image of Naga himself. After murdering his returning brother Bekkit, though, Psycatos had a moment of clarity and tossed aside the Crown. He triggered an explosion that destroyed the city of the Ancients and committed suicide before Set could reclaim his mind.; ===Early 20th century===; In the early 20th century, the City of the Ancients was uncovered by Paul Destine and Leonard MacKenzie. Destine turned on MacKenzie and was trapped in the buried city by his own actions, but he discovered the Serpent Crown, still in its disguised shell. Calling it his Helmet of Power, Destine augmented his own natural psychic abilities with the Helmet, and survived for decades in the buried city, passing in and out of suspended animation. It was through his actions (and the Crown's) that old Atlantis fell to a series of explosions and Leonard MacKenzie's son, Prince Namor, lost his memory for several decades. Destine, calling himself Destiny, eventually escaped from the City of the Ancients with the Helmet of Power, but became completely mad and died while under the Helmet's influence.; ===Modern Age===; Namor recovered the Helmet of Power, unaware of its true origins. When he brought it back to Atlantis for study, the true Serpent Crown emerged and corrupted the minds of Dorma and the Atlantean people. The strong-willed Namor removed the Crown from Atlantis, but was attacked by Karthon the Quester, a soldier of Lemuria who served the still-living mad-king Naga. The Crown was brought back to Naga, but as he fought the Sub-Mariner, Karthon realized how insane his emperor was and turned against him. The Serpent Crown was buried deep in a crevice after Naga's death.; After the Empirikul killed all magic on Earth, Shaman retrieved the Serpent Crown as part of Earth's magicians' efforts to gather the last crumbs of magic from magical artifacts, but the Crown was completely powerless. ============================================================ Sentinel Squad Armor Kind: item Page: Sentinel Squad Armor Formal name: Sentinel Squad Armor Other aliases: Mech-Sentinels Type: Armor First appearance: Decimation: House of M - The Day After Vol 1 1 Created by: Chris Claremont; Randy Green; Aaron Lopresti Reality: Earth-616 Origin: new generation Sentinels controlled by pilots Lead designer: ONE Additional designers: Emil Winston, Tony Stark, Reed Richards Current owner: Sentinel Squad O*N*E Previous owners: none Dimensions: 96 feet tall Weight: 200 tons Model: Sentinel Mk VIII (presumably) Version: Multiple version in use History: In contrast to earlier Sentinels, these are piloted suits used by the Office of National Emergency's Sentinel Squad O*N*E.

Thus, they could injure or kill humans to capture mutants.; The Mark I Sentinels were originally shown as slightly taller than a human, later appearences portrayed their size in an inconsistent manner. Notably in Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Comics Magazine #3, where they were portrayed with the same size as a building.; The MK I Sentinels have been mistakenly portrayed many times with the usual purple appearence used by later models, examples being X-Men First Class #7 and First X-Men #4. History: Anti-mutant bigot Bolivar Trask designed the "Mark I" Sentinels to protect humanity from the "mutant threat".; Originally they were under the government's budget, the robots were tested against Wolverine's Mutant Team but were defeated. This failure led to the government to abandon the Sentinel project and Trask opted for funding It himself.; They first tested the robot against the mutant Angel, but It was destroyed by Magneto.; Another robot attacked both the Original X-Men and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, however both teams managed to escape.; Bolivar would later reveal the Sentinels to the world on live TV. Unfortunately, Trask and his employees were not masters of their robots: they created the Sentinels with an artificial intelligence they could not control. The Sentinels quickly reasoned that the best way to protect humans from mutants was to control human society, instead of allowing the "imperfect" humans to do so.; When Trask tried to order a Sentinel to seize Professor Xavier during a television debate, the Sentinel instead attacked and kidnapped Trask, taking him to the HQ Trask himself had built. The Sentinels also kidnapped X-Man Beast. The rest of the X-Men followed the Sentinels to their base, but were captured as well.; However, one of the Sentinels left at the studio had inexplicably collapsed. Xavier discovered that a huge crystal mounted in a tower nearby had jammed this Sentinel's power unit, putting it out of commission. Xavier had his government contacts transport the crystal to the Sentinel base, where it disabled all of the Sentinels' minor units. The X-Men also managed to break free and raced to confront Trask.; Meanwhile, the lead Sentinel, Master Mold, tried to force Trask to create an army of Sentinels with which it could conquer mankind. However Trask had used a psycho-probe on Beast and discovered that not all mutants would inevitably use their powers against humanity. Understanding that he had been wrong in his prejudice, he sacrificed his own life to destroy the Sentinel-manufacturing apparatus, destroying Master Mold and most of the Sentinels in a great explosion. The X-Men barely managed to escape the base's destruction.; Master Mold had separately built a production chamber for the Sentinels where they would be secretly constructed until they reached a certain number, the robots attacked the X-Men at their mansion but retreated due to the mutants having lost their powers to an alien comet. The Sentinels had stolen data from Cerebro and went after Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver at their house. the X-Men went after the robots, with their powers heightened by the alien comet they easily defeated the robots with help from the twins.; Mr. Fantastic visited the X-Mansion alongside Thing and Human Torch, intending on reprogramming two Sentinels so they could be used as "watchdogs" for the Baxter Building while the Fantastic Four was not around. However a misterious foe had already reprogramed the robots and ordered them to attack New York city, the battle attacked the attention of the heroes Spider-Man, Dr. Strange and Daredevil. The robots were set to explode but Dr. Strange saved the heroes, the true plan of the villain was hacking the X-Men's training robot Colosso so It could steal Cerebro, but Marvel Girl and Professor X who were left behind managed to defeat the robot.; ===Return===; Controversial artist Guy DeMondue acquired three "decommissioned" Sentinels Mark I from Simon Trask for an exposition on the "mutant kitsch" in San Francisco, causing the demonstration of pro-mutants and the coming of the new-in-town X-Men. There, the depowered Magneto used tech to mimic his powers and activated two of the Sentinels to attack his old enemies, without himself to be targeted as he wasnt a mutant. One of the Sentinels was destroyed by Colossus, who threw a hybrid car on it after Wolverine had sniked it, and the other by Angel.; ==Capabilities==; Robot: Due to its nature, the Sentinels were protected by the sheer strength of their armor. They could not be affected by emotional or mental attacks, nor by illusions. However, they were susceptible to attacks affecting machinery.; Superhuman Strength; Superhuman Durability; Superhuman Speed: Despite their vast size, their brain operates faster than a human one. Angel was surprised by their speed.; Self-Propelled Flight: Mark I Sentinels could fly with jets mounted in their feet.; Mutant Detection: The Sentinels constantly scanned all living beings in their immediate surrounding area and were able to determine if they were humans or mutants.; Energy Projection: The Mark I could project a variety of different energy types from their chests offensively, including but not limited to: plasma, electrons, stun beams and heat. They were also armed with a disintegrator, though this only worked on inorganic matter.; Flamethrower; Heat-ray; Heavy-Gravity Ray; Computer Hacking Skills: They managed to hack information from Cerebro.; ==Weaknesses==; Their CPU is placed in the back of their heads, which makes them vulnerable to attacks.; ==Alternate Universes==; ===Earth-10005===; In 1973, Bolivar Trask unsuccessfully attempted to lobby Congress to approve his Sentinel program and thus attempted to seek the support of Communists during the Paris Peace Accords. However, Mystique infiltrated the meeting and assassinated Trask, starting a chain of events that led to her capture, Trask made into a martyr and eventually a dystopic future ruled by Sentinels who oppress mutants.; In a desperate attempt, Kitty Pryde sends Wolverine's consciousness back to 1973 so he could recruit young Charles Xavier to stop Mystique and avert the dystopic future she would indirectly create. However, in saving Trask, they inadvertently exposed the existence of mutants to the world. Trask then convinces President Richard Nixon into approving the Sentinel program, with the assurance that his Mark I Sentinels were made of a non-metallic polymer that were immune to Magneto's abilities. However, Magneto intercepted the shipments carrying the Mark Is and secretly inserts pieces of metal inside the robots so he could control them.; At the Sentinels' unveiling in Washington D.C., Magneto takes controls of them, using the machines to scare away the audience before dropping a stadium around the White House, the Sentinels guarding the perimeter. When Beast and Wolverine attempted to intervene, Magneto unleashed one of the Sentinels on them. Eventually, Beast injects himself with an overdose of a serum that reverted him to human form, causing the Sentinel to ignore him and focus on Magneto and Mystique, who was in disguise as Nixon, forcing Magneto to destroy it. Mystique then revealed herself by shooting Magneto in the neck with a plastic gun, stunning him and causing the Sentinels to shut down. As she turns her gun on Trask, Xavier talks her out of it and she spares his life. This leads to the Sentinel program being shut down, Trask arrested for selling military secrets and the dystopic future averted.; ============================================================ Sentinels MK V Kind: item Page: Sentinels MK V Formal name: Sentinels MK V Type: Robot First appearance: New Mutants Vol 1 2 Created by: Chris Claremont; Bob McLeod Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Properties: Cold Blast: The eyes of this model could spray liquid nitrogen that was used to cage opponents in frozen cocoons.; Energy Blast: The Mark V had an amount of different blasts, including but not reducing to plasma, electrons, stunning gas and heat, that could be shot from their chests. They were also armed with a disintegrator that only worked on inorganic matter.; Flight used jets; Gas Jets; Learning Program: A special learning program allowed a particular Mk V a certain advantage when fighting an enemy, but only after at least one minute of analysis. This data could be stored for future uses against the same enemy, so that any Sentinel from any model could access the information (and Shaw or the government could authorize the development of special weaponry). However, any needed modification would take at least one week.; Mutant Detection: The Sentinels constantly scanned all the living beings in the immediate surrounding area and were able to determine if they were humans or mutants.; Robot: Due to its nature, the sentinels were protected by the sheer strength of the hull.

However, they were susceptible to attacks affecting machinery.; Searching Lights: This model's eyes were equipped with searching lights. History: After the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants tried to assassinate Senator Robert Kelly while he was performing a public research on the possible threat of superhuman beings and mutants, the President's Cabinet authorized secret and illegal Project Wideawake to research and, if needed, capture any superhuman mutant that the Project management could consider a threat to national security. The Project's head was Henry Gyrich, answering only to the President, with Senator Kelly himself as an special consultant.; The government contacted industrial tycoon Sebastian Shaw, unaware that Shaw was a mutant himself, to build the new breed of Sentinels. Shaw Industries was authorized by the government to build top-secret Sentinels to be used in Project Wideawake.; Shaw produced three models: Mark IV Sentinels, Mark V Sentinels and Mark VI Sentinels. None of these models proved to be as formidable as Mark II Sentinels. The models were constantly being modified and improved. Shaw secretly used Sentinels to attack his own enemies, the X-Men, but the government was unaware of this.; Unlike its Mark IV and Mark VI brethren, the external design of the Mark V Sentinels deviated significantly from the original Trask design. The Mark Vs featured a new blue and grey color scheme, a modified head design, and different body details. ============================================================ Sentinels MK VI Kind: item Page: Sentinels MK VI Formal name: Sentinels MK VI Type: Robot First appearance: New Mutants Vol 1 48 Created by: Chris Claremont; Jackson Guice Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Properties: Energy Blast: The Mark VI had an amount of different blasts, including but not reduced to plasma, electrons, stunning gas and heat, that could be shot from their chests.

The Project's head was Henry Gyrich, answering only to the President, with Senator Kelly himself as an special consultant.; The government contacted industrial tycoon Sebastian Shaw, ignoring that Shaw was an evil mutant himself, to build the new breed of Sentinels. Shaw Industries was authorized by the government to build top-secret Sentinels to be used in Project Wideawake.; Shaw produced three models: Mark IV Sentinels, Mark V Sentinels and Mark VI Sentinels. Shaw secretly used these Sentinels to attack his enemies, the X-Men and members of the New Mutants, but the government was either unaware of this or chose to look the other way. None of these models proved to be as formidable as the Mark II and Mark III Sentinels, and so were constantly being modified and improved. At one point, they were specially engineered for stealth missions.; The remains of one Mark VI Sentinel was combined with a Mark IV and a Mark V by Loki into the Tri-Sentinel. Another Mark VI unit was found and repaired by Juston Seyfert, who made extensive modifications to its design and programming. ============================================================ Sentry Telescope (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Sentry Telescope Formal name: Sentry Telescope Type: Technology First appearance: Ultimate Extinction Vol 1 2 Created by: Warren Ellis; Brandon Peterson Reality: Earth-1610 Lead designer: S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although a prototype was developed in San Francisco in 1906, the modern Sentinels were first created by Dr. Bolivar Trask. His intention was to use them to save humanity from what he saw as an impending threat to the species' existence due to the increasing numbers of emerging mutants.; Trask created a Master Mold as the "chief" Sentinel unit, an A.I. capable of independently creating Sentinels.; While Bolivar Trask invented the Sentinels, the many lives of Moira MacTaggert have shown that A.I. such as the Sentinels inevitably emerge at a certain point in humanity's environmental and societal evolution, regardless of whom their actual inventor is.; ===Early Sentinels===; During a televised debate between Trask and mutant advocate Professor Charles Xavier, Trask publicly unveiled and activated the Sentinels. Trask had underestimated the Sentinels' capacity for individual thought, however. Master Mold had run countless simulations until coming to the conclusion that the only way to save humanity was to save it from itself, which the Sentinels would accomplish by ruling over mankind themselves. In order to achieve this, the Sentinels kidnapped Trask. The Sentinel base was invaded by the mutant heroes known as the X-Men. Upon realizing how far his creations were willing to go, Trask helped the X-Men destroy the base, destroying Master Mold and the Sentinels in the process.; Unaware of the details surrounding his father's death, Bolivar's son Larry Trask resurrected the Sentinel program, believing that his father had been killed by the X-Men. After years of work, Larry unveiled the Mark II Sentinels, improvements over the originals in nearly every way. However, the Mark II Sentinels' weakness was their blind dependency on cold logic. This allowed X-Man Cyclops to convince the Sentinels to fly into the Sun, arguing that destroying the Sun was necessary to completely prevent future mutation.; After Larry Trask's eventual death, material pertaining to the Sentinel program fell into the hands of the U.S. government. They relaunched the Sentinel program as "Project Armageddon" under the leadership of Steven Lang, who created the Mark III Sentinels, some of which were the so-called "X-Sentinels", Sentinels made to mimic the original X-Men. Hoping to avoid potential rebellions from the Sentinels, Lang made them less intelligent than the previous models. While Lang rebuilt the original Master Mold, he opted not to use it. Since Lang was working from incomplete notes, the Mark III Sentinels were generally weaker than their predecessors. The Mark III Sentinels met their end when the space station where they were housed was destroyed by the X-Men.; The most long-lived Sentinel project was that of Project: Wideawake, a government agency led by Henry Gyrich and Valerie Cooper that purchased Sentinels from Sebastian Shaw, the Black King of the Hellfire Club. Project: Wideawake also had its own research and development division, based at Camp Hayden, which made an attempt to recreate the future Sentinel known as Nimrod and to use this technology to improve their purchased Sentinels. Despite being a mutant himself, Shaw would oversee the creation of three generations of Sentinels, Marks IV-VI. Shaw profited from the Sentinels, and used them to target his enemies. Like the Mark III:s, Shaw's Sentinels were never as powerful as the first two iterations created by Bolivar and Larry Trask. Shaw also worked on the Mark VII Sentinels, though only produced a prototype.; ===Nano & Wild Sentinels===; The original Master Mold survived the attempts to destroy it and managed to merge with the future Sentinel known as Nimrod. After being forced through the Siege Perilous, the two emerged as a new being: Bastion. Bastion began experimenting with Sentinel technology, leading to the creation of "Omega Sentinels", humans infected with Nano-Sentinels and converted into machine/human hybrids.; Nano-Sentinels would represent a massive leap in Sentinel-technology.; Cassandra Nova, the Mummudrai of Charles Xavier, discovered an abandoned Sentinel facility in Ecuador. The facility had been built by the U.S. government with the intent of creating evolving, self-duplicating Sentinels. These Sentinels scavenged any nearby technology and material to grow. Still keyed to Trask DNA, Nova used a nephew of Bolivar Trask to allow her to assume command of the Wild Sentinels, and used them to destroy the mutant nation of Genosha, killing millions of mutants.; The Wild Sentinel responsible for the genocide would be granted a consciousness by the Shi'ar A.I. Danger. Upon realizing what it had done on Genosha, the Wild Sentinel left Earth. It would later return in an attempt to save the planet, and was destroyed in the attempt.; Following M-Day, the O.N.E. made use of giant, non-A.I. Sentinels with human pilots. The O.N.E. would also develop Mark VIII Sentinels.; ===Modern Sentinels===; After assuming control of the Hellfire Club and dedicating himself to fighting the Jean Grey School, Kade Kilgore had his associates begin work on a new generation of Sentinels. They created several Sentinel models, from Mark X-XIII.; Around the same time, Dark Beast used S.H.I.E.L.D. files to create his own fleet of highly advanced Sentinels, which he used to target the X-Men. The Red Skull would use Stark technology to create his own Sentinels, designed to target various superhuman heroes in general, rather than mutants in particular.; Months later as the world was reeling from a crisis caused by the incursions, some Sentinels were reprogrammed to serve Nation X, a nascent mutant nation based in the Canadian wilds.; ===Orchis===; Following the establishment of the mutant nation of Krakoa, the mutant-phobic organization Orchis reached a new pinnacle of Sentinel technology. Using Sol's Hammer as a base, they created a Mother Mold, a replicating, adaptive, self-aware Sentinel factory capable of creating Master Molds. While a Master Mold is incapable of improving beyond its ultimate Sentinel state, the Mother Mold is believed to be able to produce purely adaptable machines through Nano-Sentinel technology.; Identifying this as an existential threat, Krakoa launched a strike team to destroy the Mother Mold, fearful that its invention would lead to the creation of a Nimrod-unit. While the mutants succeeded, they failed in preventing the creation of Nimrod, a pure Nano-Sentinel construct made to be adaptive, self-aware and self-replicating.; While ostensibly serving humanity against mutantkind, Nimrod and his associate Omega Sentinel (inhabited by her evil alternate future self) hated humans as much as mutants, hiding their true intentions while biding their time. Using technology from Omega Sentinel's future, the A.I. segments of Orchis planned to summon a Dominion, a godlike A.I. that would absorb them into itself, allowing them to exist forever outside of time.; ==Sentinel Models==; Master Mold (Earth-616), Brian Braddock (Earth-616), and Jim Hammond (Earth-616) from Secret Avengers Vol 1 36 0001.jpg|Master Mold; Orchis Forge from House of X Vol 1 3 001.jpg|Mother Mold; Sentinels from X-Men Vol 1 14 003.png|Sentinel MK I; Number 8 (Earth-616) from X-Men Vol 1 58 0001.png|Sentinel MK II; Sentinels from X-Men Vol 1 98 002.png|Sentinel MK III; Sentinel MK IV from Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 151 0001.jpg|Sentinel MK IV; Sentinel Mk V (Earth-616) from New Mutants Vol 1 2 0001.jpg|Sentinels Mk V; Sentinel Mk VI (Earth-616) from Alpha Flight Vol 1 43 0001.jpg|Sentinel Mk VI; Sentinel MK VII from X-51 Vol 1 7 001.jpg|Sentinel MK VII; X-Men Vol 6 20 Trading Card Variant.jpg|Nimrod; Tri-Sentinel (Earth-616) from Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 3 001.jpg|Tri-Sentinel; X-Men Vol 2 65 Textless.jpg|Prime Sentinels; X-Men Legacy Vol 1 243 Textless.jpg|Omega Prime Sentinels; Wild Sentinels from Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 11 001.jpg|Wild Sentinels; Nano-Sentinels from New X-Men Vol 1 123 001.png|Nano-Sentinels; Sentinel Squad O*N*E Vol 1 5 Textless.jpg|Sentinel Squad O*N*E; Stealth Sentinel from Sentinel Squad O*N*E Vol 1 4 0001.jpg|Stealth Sentinel (O*N*E); Brawler Sentient from Sentinel Squad O*N*E Vol 1 3 0001.jpg|Brawler Sentinel; Recon Sentinel from Sentinel Squad O*N*E Vol 1 3 0001.jpg|Recon Sentinel; Torch Sentinel from Sentinel Squad O*N*E Vol 1 3 0001.jpg|Torch Sentinel; Sentinel_MK_X_from_Wolverine & the X-Men Vol_1_16_0001.png|Sentinel MK X; Sentinel_MK_XI_from_Wolverine & the X-Men Vol_1_16_0001.png|Sentinel MK XI; Sentinel_MK_XII_from_Wolverine & the X-Men Vol_1_16_0001.png|Sentinel MK XII; Sentinel_MK_XIII_from_Wolverine & the X-Men Vol_1_16_0001.png|Sentinel MK XIII/Tri-Sentinel; Sentinel Mk VIII from All-New X-Factor Vol 1 16 0001.jpg|Sentinel Mk VIII; Stark Sentinel MK I from Avengers & X-Men AXIS Vol 1 1 001.jpg|Stark Sentinel MK I; Inhuman-Hunting Sentinels from IVX Vol 1 6 001.jpg|Inhuman-Hunting Sentinels; A.I.M.

It is unclear if these enhanced humans were the original servo-guards or just a small experimental group. Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Properties: Low level superhuman strength and endurance but normal human speed and reaction levels.; Photoelectric eyes.; Immune to visual horror.; Protective circuits that activate when the robot perceives that Doom is in danger.; Some Servo-Guards were able to shot energy bolts from their naked hands.; Doom has a hand-held device known as Electro-Neumonic Scrambler to disable Servo-Guards even if they were controlled by a third party; but apparently he cannot use the Scrambler in any situation.; ==Weaponry==; Frequently they are equipped with rifles or laser handguns.; Occasionally Doctor Doom provides one Servo-Guard in a given unit with a specific high-technology weapon from his personal armory, such as an Antimatter Extrapolator, an Electro-Shock Pistol, an Insulato-Shield, a Stasis Gun, or a Stun-Shocker. Notes: Even though referred to as Doombots as well, they are not to be confused with the Doombot, which are exact replicas of Doctor Doom's armored form.; The "pure, metal robots" used by Doom in Giant-Size Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 2 may be a reference to the Servo-Guards, but they look distinctly dissimilar to the Servo-Guards' other appearances. History: The Servo-Guards were robot soldiers created by Doctor Doom, often equipped with weapons such as laser rifles. They were programmed to recognize any enemy of Doctor Doom and fight it as their own.; Doom claimed to have designed the Servo-Guards to protect the people of Latveria.; Doom used these robots to guard the city of Doomstadt and the towers of Castle Doom. Fifty Servo-Guards were assigned to the Latverian Embassy in New York City as a security detachment. Doom, facially scarred and uncomfortable with his face, authorized only the Servo-Guards to be in his presence when he does not have his armor on -such as when he had showered, and the phlegmatic Servo-Guards don his armor. The Servo-Guards also manned the Tractor Beams protecting the borders of Latveria.; Their first known use was when the Fantastic Four entered Latveria to investigate a robot found by S.H.I.E.L.D.. A squad of these robots defeated the Fantastic Four thanks to the intel they had on them and their specialized equipment provided by Doom, including a close-range electro-shock pistol and insulato-shields to deal with the Human Torch, a heat shell to knock down Mr. Fantastic, and an unnamed gas bomb to defeat the Thing. Although several robots were destroyed, they succeeded in defeating the intruders.; Doom then sent these robots to thrash two rebellious Latverians, then interfered himself so that the men would have a chance to escape, pretending to be aghast. Really, Doom was testing another design, the Invincible Robots, to stop the runaways. Soon afterward, Doom sent the twelve operating Invincible Robots to attack Doomstadt, as a test of their teamwork; the Servo-Guards protecting the city failed to stop the advance of these machines and they pointlessly asked Doom for help before being destroyed themselves. The surviving Servo-Guards retired to the hills while one of them personally went to report to Doom - only to be knocked down by Doom for speaking without permission.; After defeating the Invincible Robots and saving Doomstadt from a detonation, the Fantastic Four attacked Castle Doom. Initially caught flat-footed when the Thing threw a clock tower to the castle, the Servo-Guards then regrouped and did their best against the invader, including manning air artillery to attack the Human Torch and try to hold Invisible Girl and Crystal. Even if Doom had equipped one rifleman in each unit with infrared viewing scope to find the Invisible Girl, the Guards were unable to stop the Fantastic Four. Doom finally allowed them to leave for his own reasons.; Later, pretender Rudolfo Fortunov staged an attempted coup by raiding Castle Doom, sending an android doppelgänger of himself to lead the attack. Doom captured the android but, when it tried to escape, a Servo-Guard destroyed it with one shot - as Fortunov had intended, so that Doom could not track him.; Doom then sent his Servo-Guards to track Fortunov's rebels in nearby farms, but the rebels had received advanced alien weapon from Fortunov's ally Faceless One. The new rifles were enough to destroy Doom's Servo-Guards, and encouraged the rebels to attack Doom's castle. The first defense line of Servo-Guards were easily defeated, forcing Doom to join the battle - which was Fortunov's plan. However, Doom finally won the battle.; Doctor Doom's minion clone used rifle-welding Servo-Guards for security in his Upstate New York Castle when he retained the Fantastic Four after conditioning Mr. Fantastic to capture them. To prevent surprises, he secured each of the heroes with an Electronic Shackle. Indeed, the Thing released himself from his initial bondings, he easily fell three Guards, but then Doom immobilized the Thing using the shackle.; The three imprisoned Fantastics disabled the Shackles and escaped from their cell only to find a swarm of Servo-Guards in a corridor. Each hero defeated easily several Guards and eventually they buried the Guards under the room's ceiling. They were unable to escape, nonetheless, as they found Dr. Doom and were subdued. The heroes were sent to the Latverian castle, where Servo-Guards were a constant presence, including one escorting artist Alicia Masters or pushing the superhuman prisoners with lances to lead them to Doom's Power Transference Machine, where their powers would be reproduced in Victor II! At that point, Mr. Fantastic was believed to have died, but he returned, only to be knocked down by Doom, and dragged by two Servo-Guards to the Machine with his partners. Mr. Fantastic then released his friends and led a charge against Doom's Servo-Guards. The Servo-Guards once again proved unable to defeat the Fantastic Four, but Doom convinced them to surrender because he was holding Masters hostage, with a Servo-Guard ready to kill her if needed. The Servo-Guards again served as pickets to the Fantastic Four.; Doom used the Servo-Guards only for internal security, with different robots taking care of pomp & circumstance. The Servo-Guards were however defeated by an ally of the Fantastic Four, Zorba Fortunov, who used an optic blast against them to reach the cell and release the Fantastic Four. The Servo-Guars however took Doctor Doom's statue to the United Nations Headquarters, putting it on a plane to the Upstate New York Castle, then taking it unannounced to the United Nations as if it were a present from Doom. It was however a device that Doom could activate remotely to hypnotize the delegates. Before he could do so, three members of the Fantastic Four arrived and defeated the Servo-Guards - albeit they were unable to prevent the statue from being used.; After this event, however, Doom the First was deposed as ruler of Latveria, replaced by King Zorba, who was less prone to use Doom's robots. He nonetheless started using the Servo-Guards as secret police in an attempt to enforce martial law when Latveria fell into a crisis of poverty, famine and crime. The Servo-Guards executed anything defying the curfew, including unarmed civilians, using their laser guns. This was useless and only stirred up discontent toward Zorba.; During this period, the alien Silver Surfer raided Castle Doom in a fit of rage to rescue his beloved Shalla-Bal, surely smashing several sentinels in the process, disregarding the nominal threat they meant for someone such as him.; Before trying to recover his throne, Doom imprisoned the Fantastic Four in diminutive synthe-clone bodies in the maquette city Liddleville. He also developed at least two five-person squads of miniature Servo-Guards with laser handguns to prevent them from leaving the boundaries of the city. The Fantastic Four only encountered them after having recovered their power, so they easily made short work of them.; When Doom escaped Liddleville, he allied with the Fantastic Four to recover the Latverian throne. They infiltrated in Latveria, where they saw Servo-Guards suffocating individual liberties in the name of "His Supreme Majesty Zorba the First". When the robots murdered a helpless woman, the Fantastic Four and Doom confronted them. Zorba's programming of the robots was sub-par, as they needed to contact their central for instructions during the fight. Doom soon recovered his throne, and adopted the murdered woman's child.; Doom was escorted by Servo-Guard A-17 when scientist Gert Hauptmann presented the finished Power Cosmic Infusing Machine. Doom insisted that Hauptmann tested the machine in himself, instead of in Doom as scheduled, and Hauptmann was destroyed as the Power Cosmic was too much for a human body. A-17's protective circuits activated, although Doom had disregarded any risk. Soon afterward, however, Doom sent four Servo-Guards (Units 5, 6, 7 and 15) to recruit a new candidate for the Power Cosmic: Tyros the Terrible, former herald of Galactus, who was hospitalized, immobile and amnesiac, in New York City. The Servo-Guards flew there in a sleek craft, with Five killing two doctors to reach Tyros and Six piloting the escape vehicle just in the window). Due to the presence of nearby superheroes, including Captain America and Iron Man, the robots were in a hurry; and Doom even gave them explicit instructions to not approach also convalescent Thing. The vehicle with the robots and Tyros reached Latveria in four hours. Doom then interviewed with Tyros, explained part of his plan and ordered two Servo-Guards to place Tyros in the Power Cosmic Infusing Machine. After Tyros was successfully empowered, a Servo-Guard questioned the wisdom of giving power to an unstable villain; Doom discreetly revealed to the robot that the power was consuming Tyros' life in a matter of hours - time enough for Tyros to fulfill his mission.; After Doom's apparent demise, Kristoff Vernard acquired his mind patterns, impersonated him and replaced him as ruler of Latveria and nemesis of the Fantastic Four. Vernard tried to destroy the Fantastic Four, but he failed and the Four, in response, raided Castle Doom, literally breaking a wall to enter. Six Servo-Guards ran to stop the Four, carrying concussion charge rifles. Their charge was easily stopped by the Invisible Girl's force fields, then they were easily defeated. The Four's newest member She-Hulk broke the floor to go under the Guard's feet, then broke the ceiling to trap the Guard's boats. One Guard got a lucky shot stunning the Invisible Girl, but was immediately melted to slag by the Human Torch. The Invisible Girl then field-pushed several Guards through a window.; The real Doctor Doom adopted the temporary identity of the Invincible Man in a plot to take over the Latverian Embassy. The Invincible Man claimed that Doom had kidnapped his family, thus recruiting superheroines Invisible Woman (previously Invisible Girl), She-Hulk, and Wasp. The four of them raided the embassy; squads of Servo-Guards went to protect the building, but they were quickly destroyed. Doom's new Invincible Man armor's bolts broke several robots. However, this was a plot: After the embassy's Doombot was destroyed, Doom knocked out the Invisible Woman, took over the embassy, and sent more Servo-Guards against She-Hulk and Wasp while he used the Invisible Woman's signal device to summon the remaining Fantastic Four. He left three Servo-Guards to protect the embassy's door, knowing they would be easily destroyed. When Mister Fantastic and the Human Torch joined She-Hulk and Wasp fighting disposable Servo-Guards, Doom joined the fray with a hand-held weapon that defeated all the heroes: a Concussion Ray.; Doom also used a number of Servo-Guards as his minions in a plot to recover the Latverian throne. He travelled to the Latverian forest undetected onboard a Gyroscopic Aircraft along with these droids, a Time-bot that had stolen Thor's hammer and the pieces to build a Time Displacer. He ordered the Servo-Guards to build the Displacer following his specifications, using the hammer as a mystical energy sourced, then to remain there in case anyone came to attack the non-portable machine, while Doom himself raided Castle Doom. The robots were indeed attacked by Hercules, She-Hulk, and Eric Masterson, who were looking for the hammer. The heroes defeated the robots, then destroyed the Displacer.; When captured by Aron the Watcher and cryonized, the Invisible Woman dreamed of the Doom-Vernard conflict. Her imagination conjured visions of the Servo-Guards escorting Vernard and fruitlessly attacking Doom.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; ===Heroes Reborn===; When the Fantastic Four, Avengers, and Doctor Doom seemingly sacrificed their lives to stop the psychic entity known as Onslaught, Franklin Richards (the son of the Fantastic Four's Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman) used his powers to save their lives by transferring them to a pocket dimension later called Counter-Earth. There the heroes and their allies, as well as Doom, each lived a variation of their past life. In this capacity, Doctor Doom still ruled the nation of Latveria. He created these models of Sero-Guards to act as his bodyguards, defenders, and assistants.; ===Animated Spider-Man (Earth-8107)===; In one of his first battles with Spider-Man, after his plan to replace the U.N. security council with robot doubles was thwarted, Doctor Doom himself escaped capture by replacing himself with a robot. Much later, when he had finally gained firm control of the world (for the moment), an array of Doombots took the place of all the world's leaders. It was also on this occasion that Boris escaped his master's wrath using a robot version of himself. When the real Doom was destroyed, all of his robots shut down.; ===Earth X (Earth-9997)===; ===Deeds of Doom (Earth-74924)===; When the Doomsman -possessed by Chthon- attacked Doomstadt, Doctor Doom apparently sent three or more Servo-Guards with advanced handguns to hinder its advance while several superheroes were on their way there. The Doomsman destroyed one robot by shooting it with a hand ray, and the other one by breaking it simply separating its body in twice on the waist.; After these events, Doom kept a cadre of these robots in his NYC Latverian Embassy, along with other robots of his design. Soon afterward, the Embassy and a Doombot impersonating Doom were attacked by the android Human Torch, who was mind-controlled by Andro, Lord of Androids. The Doombot was attacked when arriving at the Embassy in a limousine and, while the vehicle was destroyed, the Doombot survived and returned fire. Doom sent six Warrior Robots from the Embassy to confront the Torch. Andro then summoned two more mind-controlled heroes, Deathlok and Vision; the Embassy answered by sending six more Warrior Robots. A number of superheroes spontaneously joined the fray.; Soon afterward, Andro captured and modified a Doombot replica of Doom, accidentally giving it its own personality. The Doombot escaped Andro's lair and joined some superheroes to fight Andro's minions. Doom then appeared in an armored van, along with twelve Warrior Robots: His goal was to destroy the "defective unit" before it could lead to trouble or be studied by unsavory third parties. The Warrior Robots helped Doom in his scheme.; ===Pet Avengers (Earth-97161)===; The Servo-Guards interrupted a battle of the Pets of Evil Masters against the Pet Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

They are also capable of sharing newly-copied powers and abilities with other Sentinels.; ===Weaknesses===; Despite the fact that the Sentinels can adapt to any threat, they are vulnerable to damage, because Mystique's shapeshifting abilities neither granted her any healing powers nor the ability to produce adamantium (this is seen when a group of Sentinels are obliterated by the X-Jet's explosion), therefore, making it extremely difficult to harm someone of Wolverine's caliber. Trivia: The Sentinels may somewhat be a reference to the Super-Sentinels and could also be a combination with Sentinel MK X. History: In 1973, Mystique assassinated Bolivar Trask but is captured by William Stryker soon after. Trask then became a martyr as development of the Sentinels was implemented. Using Mystique and Rogue's DNA, the Sentinels evolved to adapt and counter any mutant ability.; Fifty years later, the world had become dystopic, laid to ruin by the Sentinels who oppress mutants as well as humans who harbor the genes that lead to mutant offspring. The "worst of the worst" of humanity rules the world, while mutants are either imprisoned or killed along with the humans who sided with them. The only resistance laid with the Free Mutants, who were able to evade the Sentinels through the use of Kitty Pryde sending Bishop's mind back in time during each attack so the mutants would avoid the places where they would be ambushed.; Eventually, the Sentinels cornered the mutants at a monastery in China, where Kitty was in the process of sending Wolverine's mind back to 1973 to stop Mystique from killing Trask. One by one the X-Men were killed until only Kitty, Wolverine, Magneto and Professor X were left standing. But back in the alternate 1973, Mystique chooses not to kill Trask, thus causing the Sentinel-dominated future to be erased. ============================================================ Sentinel Mk VIII Kind: item Page: Sentinel Mk VIII Formal name: Sentinel Mk VIII Type: Robot; Battlesuit First appearance: All-New X-Factor Vol 1 15 Created by: Peter David; Carmine Di Giandomenico Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: O.N.E.

History: The Shadowlance is the primary personal weapon used by Lucian (a.k.a. Blackwulf). It is a staff that previously belonged to Lucian's father, Lord Tantalus, who, millennia ago, once used it in a battle against the Godstalker. However, Tantalus was unable to power the staff up enough to vanquish the Godstalker.; Much more recently, when the Godstalker came to Earth in search of Tantalus, he mistook Blackwulf/Lucian for his target and the two of them battled. After getting hit by a blast from the Shadowlance, the Godstalker snapped it in half but Sparrow was able to use her rage to fuel the two pieces and generate an impressive force blast. When Godstalker brought Blackwulf to a higher dimension to continue their battle, the broken Shadowlance was left behind so Sparrow took it when she went to Khult seeking help. Khult was able to restore the Shadowlance as a fourth-dimensional weapon and he improved it by adding endblades that only existed in two dimensions. Sent into the other dimension by Khult, Sparrow delivered the improved Shadowlance to Blackwulf who felt that it seethed in his hand like it was alive. After Sparrow relayed some advice from Khult, Blackwulf was able to use the energy he had inherited from his mother Nirvana to make the Shadowlance powerful enough to slice the Godstalker to ribbons. However, although even this did not defeat the Godstalker, it did convince him that Blackwulf was not Tantalus, so the Godstalker then chose to integrate himself with the Shadowlance so that his power would be added to the staff for use against Tantalus.; Later, after he and Sparrow had been transported to Armechadon, Blackwulf used the Shadowlance to cut off the left arm of Mammoth, thereby preventing the Black Legacy that Tantalus was infusing into it from reaching Mammoth's body and killing him. Blackwulf then used the Shadowlance in battle with Tantalus and, after a distraction gave him enough time to charge it, used the weapon to injure and weaken Tantalus. Blackwulf then seemingly killed Tantalus by siphoning the excess Black Legacy venom from his father, causing his body to disappear in a flare of light.; ===Capabilities===; Aside from its use as a fighting weapon, the Shadowlance can channel its wielder's rage and project that fury as pure concussive force. The madder the wielder gets, the more powerful the beams of force generated by the Shadowlance can become.; The endblades that Khult added only exist in two dimensions and are thus able to slip between the molecules of anything. This enables them to cut through anything. ============================================================ Seduction Gem Kind: item Page: Seduction Gem Formal name: Seduction Gem Type: Magical gem First appearance: Astonishing Thor Vol 1 1 Created by: Robert Rodi; Mike Choi Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Zephyr Previous owners: Thor, Odin, Eitri Material: Ruby Properties: It can soften any heart hardened against its bearer.

Believing that the first generation of mutants were prisoners of the Shi'ar, Captain Pryde and her Marauders travelled to Chandilar. On Chandilar, the Marauders were confronted by the Kin Crimson, an ancient Shi'ar order dedicated to protecting the secret shames of the Shi'ar Empire.

The Marauders then travelled back in time to successfully retrieve a timedrive with information about Threshold. Using the information from the timedrive, Cerebra and the Five were able to resurrect three ancient mutants from Threshold.; When the Marauders travelled two billion years to help Threshold, they saw the Seed, the mysterium puzzle box, was a sacred relic of the Thresholders and was believed to be the genetic source of both humans and mutants in Threshold.; After returning to the present, Captain Pryde devised a plan for a "civilization circuit" to send back the genetic information from the deceased of Genosha via the newly constructed Seed to start Threshold. Using the combined gifts of Theia, Cerebra, Wicked, Polaris, Tempo, and Fang, Captain Pryde successfully created the Seed and delivered it to the ancient past to begin Threshold. ============================================================ Sentinel Zero Kind: item Page: Sentinel Zero Formal name: Sentinel Zero Other aliases: Wolverine Sentinels,; X-Sentinels Type: Sentinels First appearance: X-Men Vol 6 22 Created by: Gerry Duggan; Joshua Cassara Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Sentinels Current owner: Orchis Material: Adamantium Properties: ===Weapons===; Adamantium claws.

Howard; Roy Thomas; Marie Severin Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Gems Previous owners: King Kull; Thulsa Doom; Picts; Cult of the Serpent Properties: The wielder of a single gem was kept from harm (to the point that the swords of King Kull and Thulsa Doom, both carrying a gem, passed through their respective bodies. Kull hypothesized that his mount was also affected (though most of it happened during an illusion unbeknownst to Kull).; The legends stated that one who would hold both gems would possess power without equal. This apparently gave some degree of omnipotence, allowing Doom to instantly enslave Kull and parade him before his people, immunity to physical damage, the ability to instantly disintegrate people (it could be argued that part or all of those powers were already possessed by Doom, at some extent, but enhanced by the gems).; When Thulsa Doom joined the gems, he was apparently invulnerable, gaining the power of a universe and great knowledge. Finding and becoming all power and all knowledge, Thulsa Doom thus became part of everything, and consequently became nothing, and was apparently destroyed. Notes: The Serpent-Eye Gem was created by Robert E. Howard in "The Shadow Kingdom" (Weird Tales; August, 1929), adapted in Kull the Conqueror Vol 1 2 (September, 1971), written by Roy Thomas and penciled by Marie Severin. Trivia: During the Hyborian Age, the Stygians of Harakht and Attalus possessed a pair of great gems known as the Eyes of Set. History: The Eyes of the Serpent God, or the Serpent-Eye Gem, or the were two gems set as the eyes of the statue of the altar at the Temple of the Serpent, in the Forbidden Swamp, during the Pre-Cataclysmic Age. It was written that "He who doth possess both Eyes of the Serpent-God... wields power beyond compare!".; At some point, years before the rule of King Kull over Valusia, a Pict stole from the Temple a gem, the left Eye of the Serpent God.; Cirva 18,500, during a summit between King Kull and Ka-Nu, ambassador of the Pictish Isles to Valusia, Ka-Nu returned the gem to Kull as a sign of good faith, before entrusting him with the threat of the Serpent Men. Kull was shocked, stating that it became known that a Pict had stole it, the world would be rocked by war.; After dealing with the Serpent Men infiltrated in the Crystal City, Kull headed for the Temple of the Serpent, bringing the Serpent-Eye Gem along. Defeating some priests, Kull approached the altar where he first met with Thulsa Doom, who posed as man of Grondar on a mission of vengeance against the priests. Doom alleged that the second Serpent-Eye had been stolen, and took secretly took it.; Returning to City of Wonders with Kull, Thulsa Doom mesmerized Shiva, empowered her with harpy-like powers, and had her infiltrate Kull's chamber to steal the second Serpent-Eye Gem. As Shiva failed and died in the attempt, Thulsa Doom posed as Ka-Nu to have Kull return the gem to him. He then used the powers of both gems to enslave Kull, but when he tried to join the gem, he was soon overwhelmed by the power and, unable to separate the gems, was apparently destroyed. One of the gem was caught by Kull, while the second was lost, falling in a pit. ============================================================ Seetorak Gem Kind: item Page: Seetorak Gem Formal name: Seetorak Gem Type: Jewel First appearance: She-Hulk Vol 2 25 Created by: Peter David; Adriana Melo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Behemoth Previous owners: Unnamed wise Indian woman Properties: Embedded at Manfred Haller's forehead, it allow him to transform into the superhuman elephant-resembling Behemoth.; The wise Indian woman stated that finding the gem shard gave her knowledge, and had apparent precognitive abilities. Notes: It is uncertain whether or not the gem shard from "Seetorak" (similarly to the the Sy-Torak Gem) is derived from Cyttorak (misnamed) and/or from another being either posing as or mistaken for Cyttorak. and any connection between the Seetorak gem and Cyttorak remains unrevealed. Both the Sy-Torak and Seetorak gems were created by Peter David in the first issues of his run of She-Hulk Vol 2 (2007). History: The Seetorak gem was a shard of a larger gem of vast power, who was shattered in unrevealed circumstances.; One night, it fell on Earth almost at the feet of a woman from India, blinding her with an explosion of brilliance. The shard then whispered a name to her: "Seetorak". The woman stated that knowledge was bestowed upon her by the gem and/or the event.; Years later, the woman lived in a temple in Timbuktu. She foresaw the coming Manfred Haller that would help from an attack from Touareg rebels, and his later battle with She-Hulk. She gave the gem to Manfred Haller when he arrived in the midst of a Touareg rebel attack. The gem warped Haller's mind and allowed him to transform into Behemoth. He repelled an attack of Touareg rebels and later She-Hulk.; After Steven Rogers replaced Norman Osborn and his H.A.M.M.E.R., he assembled files on various villains. He considered Haller to be a potential asset in law-enforcement and emergency-rescue technology, due to his brilliant scientific mind, but that the removal of the Seetorak gem was the first step for his rehabilitation to be possible. ============================================================ Sentry Kill Switch (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Sentry Kill Switch Formal name: Kill Switch Type: Technology First appearance: Thunderbolts* Created by: Jake Schreier; Eric Pearson; Joanna Calo Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Technology Lead designer: O.X.E.

According to Doctor Strange, the ritual associated with the Gates was capable of reversing the Seven Days of Creation, effectively unraveling reality and bringing about the destruction of Earth.; To activate the spell, thirteen sacrificial victims were required, along with a site of immense mystical significance. Mordo chose the Nexus of All Realities in the Florida Everglades as the focal point of the ritual and manipulated numerous individuals into serving as sacrifices. Among the most important components of the spell were Jennifer Kale and Man-Thing, whose connection to the Nexus made them essential to the ceremony.; As the ritual progressed, the First Chaos Gate manifested as a gigantic crystalline doorway through which a demonic entity extended a colossal hand. The creature began draining the life-force of the sacrifices, reducing them to skeletons and drawing their energies into the opening gateway. The remaining Gates were never fully opened, however, because Ted Sallis regained enough control of the Man-Thing's body to rebel against Mordo's plans.; Man-Thing succeeded in forcing the demonic presence back through the partially opened portal and slammed the crystalline gate shut. The resulting backlash shattered the First Chaos Gate and disrupted the entire ritual before its completion. The collapse of the spell created a dimensional vortex that dragged the Chaos Demon away and restored the lives that had been stolen from the sacrifices. With Mordo's scheme thwarted, the Seven Gates of Chaos remained unopened and Earth was spared from destruction. ============================================================ Siege Perilous Kind: item Page: Siege Perilous Formal name: Siege Perilous Other aliases: Portal Perilous Type: Unique Amulet First appearance: Mighty World of Marvel Vol 2 13 Created by: Alan Moore; Alan Davis Reality: Earth-616; 12041; Multiverse Origin: Magical; Otherworld Current owner: Wilhelmina Kensington Previous owners: X-Men; Roma; Kade Kilgore; Hellfire Academy Alternate owners: S.H.I.E.L.D. (Earth-12041); Stephen Strange (Earth-12041); Dormammu (Earth-12041) Dimensions: Dimensions variable, typically hand sized, but expands when used Weight: Unknown; easily carried History: ===Origin===; The origins of the mystical crystal called the Siege Perilous have become shrouded in the mists of time and the vast expanse of the multiverse. Eventually, it came into the possession of Merlyn, only to pass down to his daughter, Roma, within the realm of Otherworld. Safeguarded as a prized addition to their mystical repository, it joined a pantheon of artifacts gathered from diverse corners of the multiverse.; ===Merlin's Funeral===; After the passing of Merlin, the Captain Britain Corps convened for his solemn farewell, overseen by his daughter, Roma. In a poignant ritual, Merlin's body was brought to the Siege Perilous, a gateway to traverse the Multiverse, where he would undergo a transformative journey of rebirth.; ===Gift to the X-Men===; Originally given to the X-Men by Roma for defeating the Adversary, the intent was to allow the X-Men to start over with new lives if they became overwhelmed by being heroes. The X-Men had forced the Reavers through the portal after defeating them and taking their Australian Outback base for their own. Dazzler toyed with the Siege Perilous, and it showed her visions of alternate futures for her, all of which ended in premature death.; ===Birth of Bastion===; The first X-Man to actually use the Siege Perilous did so unintentionally. After Master Mold emerged in New York City, the X-Men deployed the Siege Perilous when it became apparent there was no way to destroy the Master Mold brain chip, and it could reconstruct itself rapidly with the readily available metal in Manhattan. While trying to push Master Mold through the portal, Rogue got grappled by the sentinel, who only went through the portal after Nimrod (with whom Master Mold had merged) convinced it that it was now a mutant and needed to fulfill its prime directive - causing a blast which sent Rogue, Nimrod and Master Mold through the portal. Bastion emerged as fusion of Nimrod and Master Mold. Through the mystical energy of the Siege Perilous, he was reborn in a human looking body, a peculiar cybernetic-hybrid with no memory of his past.; ===Psylocke===; Psylocke, Colossus, Dazzler, and Havok later all used the Siege Perilous after saving Polaris from Zaladane. Leaving one of the High Evolutionary's towers in the Antarctic, Psylocke tried to warn the X-Men that to return to the Outback was certain death, when Gateway teleported them back without warning. Psylocke telepathically 'persuaded' the other X-Men to step through the portal rather than face certain death (although none of the X-Men had any hint that the Reavers were back and waiting for them). Wolverine's fever dream where he 'saw' the X-Men forced through the portal by Psylocke. Subsequently, when Wolverine woke from his dream to be tortured by Donald Pierce and his Reavers, Pierce smashed the item to dust in his cybernetic hand.; Rogue's new life was in the Savage Land where she teamed up with Magneto against Zaladane. Psylocke emerged in Asia where the Hand found her and switched her body with Kwannon. Colossus became an artist, and ultimately a pawn of the Shadow King before Professor X restored his memories. Dazzler became a movie star. Havok became a Genoshan Magistrate.; ===Skrull Invasion===; During the Secret Invasion, the Skrulls launched a calculated assault on Britain's mystical sites, aiming to sever the island's connections to the Otherworld. Among their targets was Cheviot Hills, where Captain Britain originally acquired his powers. The hill harbored a crucial portal to the Siege Perilous, and its destruction would sever a vital link. Despite Captain Britain's valiant intervention to thwart the Skrull fleet, he arrived too late. As the Skrulls blasted the portal, Captain Britain was engulfed in flames, leading to his presumed demise.; ===Siege Courageous===; During the Pax Utopia, the Phoenix Five used a device called the Siege Courageous to teleport around the world.; ===Hellfire Academy's Siege===; It was found by a man who would become the Philistine with one of his university colleagues, but killed him to keep the Siege for himself. Transformed and defining himself as its agent, he became an associate of Kade Kilgore's Hellfire Academy, looking for the one worthy of its power. There, it was used to enhance students who're put in detention, in order to make them more menacing. Snot was submitted to the Siege after failing his class exam, as well as Quentin Quire but the latter was rejected by it. As the X-Men made an assault on the Academy to rescue some of their students. Kade in a desperate attempt to maintain control of the situation, ordered the Philistine to drag everyone into the Siege Perilous or to have them all slaughtered. Much to everyone's surprise however, initially believed that Kade Killgore was the one whom the Siege Perilous sought to be its handler. It was actually Wilhelmina Kensington instead, who took her leave of the Academy and ordered her new ward to detonate the island with it before exiting.; ===Knights of X===; As Merlin and King Arthur took dominion over Otherworld, Excalibur's former leader Captain Britain resisted their rule. Seeking asylum and enforcers with Lady Roma Regina in her Floating Kingdom, Captain Britain was gifted with a quest. To accomplish it, she would need to recruit ten knights, being able to travel to Krakoa through the Voltus Glade to form her team. Assembling a team known as the Knights of X along with the recently resurrected Mordred. As the Knights of X, the ten champions learned that they should search for the Siege Perilous.; ==Powers==; Creating a portal which grants any person who walks through it a new chance at life, with a new career, home, and so forth. Sometimes people walking through it forget their old life, sometimes they remembered.; The secondary effect of causing unpredictable transformations in those who traverse its corridors. Some combining into fusion entities, others becoming guardians to it or simply gaining an augmented self.; Siege Perilous users.; It is revealed the Siege possesses a semi-sentient consciousness of its own, being able to reach out and touch the minds of those it deems worthy of its power and guidance towards the artifacts own ends. Somehow, Quentin Quire was rejected by the Siege's powers. ============================================================ Shield of Night Kind: item Page: Shield of Night Formal name: Shield of Night Type: Shield First appearance: Heroes for Hire Vol 1 2 Created by: John Ostrander; Pasqual Ferry Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Otherworld; Arthurian Lead designer: Lady of the Lake Place of creation: Avalon Current owner: Black Knight (Dane Whitman) Properties: Energy Absorption: The Shield of Night works in concert with the Sword of Light.

History: The pouch is a Sarcee artifact which allows the bearer to access spells and items via a sort of extradimensional portal. It has been handed down to the Shaman of the Sarcee tribe for many generations. The pouch seems to be currently in the possession of Shaman's daughter, Talisman.; Smart Alec later went mad looking into it; his body was shrunken and placed in the pouch by Shaman. The Void which the pouch accesses may in fact be the same dimension as the Crossroads, since the soul of Walter Langowski, which had been trapped in the Crossroads for a time after a failed attempt to inhabit the Hulk's body, was later able to inhabit Smart Alec's body and re-emerge through the pouch.; Alpha Flight was nearly destroyed when the pouch was turned inside out, and Talisman was trapped in the Void for a time as a result of attempting to help her father return the Void to the pouch. ============================================================ Silver Scythe (Item) Kind: item Page: Silver Scythe (Item) Formal name: Silver Scythe Type: Swords First appearance: Tomb of Dracula Vol 4 1 Created by: Robert Rodi; Bruce Jones; Jamie Tolagson Origin: Magical Previous owners: Michiyo Watanabe History: Given to Michiyo Watanabe to avenge her mother.

The suit's design resembles the Stealth Armor , only with a yellow/white color scheme. However, unlike the Stealth Armor, Shockwave Armor doesn't have the invisibility function. It gives him the following abilities:; Superhuman Strength: It enhances his strength to superhuman levels.; Flight: It has jet boots that allow flight.; Vibrational Waves: The armor can generate shock waves from his gauntlets as blasts or as minor earthquakes. History: Shockwave Armor was an armor piloted by wanted criminal and former Maggia member Lancaster Sneed who was hired by Obadiah Stane to be part of his Guardsmen along with Clayton Wilson. They set up crimes and disasters that they could stop before Iron Man to discredit him.

Capitan America used them for a training session to practice agility, before he was interrupted by Nick Fury. ============================================================ Shocker's Vibro-Shock Gauntlets Kind: item Page: Shocker's Vibro-Shock Gauntlets Formal name: Shocker's Vibro-Shock Gauntlets Other aliases: Seismic Harness Construction Resource; S.H.O.C.K.E.R.; Shocker; Gauntlet X Type: Gauntlets; Sonic Weapon First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 46 Created by: Stan Lee; John Romita Sr. Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Herman Schultz Current owner: Aftershocks Previous owners: Herman Schultz; Lonnie Lincoln; Torment Alternate owners: Mad-Dog (Earth-982); Aaron Davis (Earth-1610); Jackson Brice (Earth-26496); Spider-Man (Earth-57780); Crossbones (Earth-199999); U.S. Department of Damage Control (Earth-199999) Properties: The Shocker has two vibro-shock units that, when activated by a thumb trigger, can project a concentrated blast of air that has been vibrated at an intense frequency. This allows the Shocker to both effectively throw long range vibrational punches, as well as vibrating the structure of something in order to weaken or destroy it. Holding the thumb triggers down for an extended period of time increases the intensity, speed, and even spread of the air blasts. The vibro-shock units were created to open safes by "shaking" them open silently and quickly. Shocker also has a vibrational shield that deflects blows to him and allows him to slip from many a grasp. The feedback from the Shocker's gauntlets is extremely intense (the initial test almost killed him). To guard himself from this, Schultz developed a protective costume consisting largely of yellow quilt patches designed to absorb the shock. The vibro-shock units can add power to his punch via a trip-hammer vibration shock, making his blows a dozen times more potent than normal. Although he possessed enhance strength and durability, not even Spider-Man could withstand the gauntlet's effects when using it himself without proper protection.; At one point, the Shocker upgraded his equipment so that his vibro-shocks came from micro-circuitry emitters throughout the costume, so that he was no longer dependent on the gauntlets for his powers. He continued to wear the gauntlets as a deliberate ruse against Spider-Man and other heroes, leading them to think the gauntlets were still his Achilles' heel. Other upgrades over the years boosted Shocker's overall abilities, or provided new ones such as flight and generating electricity. Shocker has repeatedly gone back to his original power levels and gauntlets, however, implying that these upgrades were unstable or expensive to maintain. The gauntlets proved to be especially effective against Venom, since high frequency vibrations were one of the symbiotes' greatest weaknesses. Trivia: The 19th century super-gang simply known as the Shockers utilized electrical discharging devices very similar to Schultz's gauntlets. History: Failed burglar, Herman Schultz, with a gifted skill working with tools, developed in prison what was to become the infamous vibro-shock units that advanced his already criminal ways to a new plateau.; Following Shocker's death, his gauntlets came into the possession of Tombstone. He placed the gauntlets into the Blood Market's fighting pits. Feeling guilty for Herman's fate, Spider-Man entered the tournament in order to bury the gauntlets and prevent any copycats. Spider-Man ended up withdrawing after his friend Raelith was injured, with Tombstone only agreeing after Spider-Man told him his true intentions. Tombstone ended up having the Shocker's gauntlets placed in a box with cement and thrown into a New York river. ============================================================ Siege Courageous Kind: item Page: Siege Courageous Formal name: Siege Courageous Type: Technology First appearance: Avengers vs. X-Men Vol 1 6 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Olivier Coipel Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Appeared during the Pax Utopia as an instantaneous transport for the X-Men Place of creation: Utopia Previous owners: Phoenix Five; Doctor Strange; Black Panther; Namor Properties: Seemingly the technological antithesis of the Siege Perilous, the Siege Courageous allows teleportation around a whole planet.; The version of the Siege Courageous found in Battleworld can transcend the patchwork nature of the planet, allowing its user to teleport anywhere they wish. Likewise, according to Sheriff Strange, it can transform the traveler in a way befitting their true potential. Notes: Unlike the Siege Perilous, the Siege Courageous used by the Phoenix Five was clearly technological, allowing instantaneous transportation without the loss of identity.; The Siege Courageous found in Battleworld by Sheriff Strange is near identical in design to the Siege Perilous.; After Namor found the Siege Courageous, a recording of Strange explained its capabilities, however, the last words were obscured by a speech bubble from Black Panther. Secret Wars Vol 1 6 History: During the Pax Utopia declared by the Phoenix Five, they used the Siege Courageous to teleport around the world. Colossus teleported to Estonia to stop a battle between the New Avengers and the Electric Legion. The Phoenix Five teleported to Anchorage, in order to find Sinister London and deal with Mister Sinister.; As Cyclops realized they needed to hunt the various groups of Avengers, Magik leading a group of Mutants from the various X-Men, located a part of them and used the Siege Courageous to teleport to their location, and later it was used by Emma Frost arriving as reinforcement. Subsequently, the Phoenix Five used the Siege on a simultaneous attack on the Avengers in New York City, Ukraine, the Arctic Circle and the Pacific Ocean. After Namor attacked Wakanda, the rest of the Phoenix Five teleported there. ============================================================ Shurayuki Kind: item Page: Shurayuki Formal name: Shurayuki Type: Sword First appearance: Uncanny X-Force Vol 2 1 Created by: Sam Humphries; Ron Garney Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Japanese Place of creation: Japan Current owner: Betsy Braddock Trivia: Shurayuki means "white snow" in Japanese.

History: Silver Centurion Armor is a variation of the Iron Man Armor. This armor made its first appearance in Whiplash. Tony was concerned about where his enemies get their high tech weapons so he began building another suit, one that was more powerful. When the villain Whiplash threatened his friends and easily took down his standard suit, he put his new armor on and engaged him. The battle played out with both Tony and Whiplash evenly matched. He had trouble at first, but Iron Man won by blasting Whiplash into a power station that blew up his robotic arm.; It was later seen in Don't Worry, Be Happy when Tony lowered it from his armory to retrieve his armor that was abandoned. ============================================================ Shockwave Armor Kind: item Page: Shockwave Armor Formal name: Shockwave Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Master of Kung Fu Vol 1 42 Created by: Doug Moench; Paul Gulacy Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Lancaster Sneed Properties: The armor's boot jets allow it to fly.

Shin grew up studying advanced robotics, cybernetics and mechatronics since his early life as an orphan building his very first bionic armor as a child from a host of makeshift appliances.; During a daring break in at a high security technologies firm in Tokyo for the final component he needs for his armor. Shin was testing the functionality of his suits helmet noting he was explosively decapitated using it 32% of the time in computer simulations he would run using it.; The ultimate test however, came when he assaulted a big criminal ring meeting turned mob war between sects of the branches of Yakuza and a rogue branch of The Hand. Both sides after Shin for his inheritance of the late Silver Samurai's headship of Clan Yashida, where he would eventually do battle with Wolverine in it gaining the upper-hand for a time.; ==Capabilities==; The Silver Samurai's cybernetic Armor was outfitted for the purpose of compensating for his lack of superhuman prowess. Accessible features shown so far include ignition propellant jet boots for Mach speed flight, armor markedly protecting the wearer from the rigors of such motions.; They could also be used offensively beyond the purposes of aviation, firing them full thrust upon a target incinerating them.; Helmet piece could move and remove plating segmentation over the face by will of thought, as well as enable the direct neural interfacing with the rest of the armors circuitry.

Blake decided to not go back and reopen the box, but was haunted by dreams, leading him to consult Dr. Dexter. Despite his sleeping medication, Blake awoke in front of the church but returned home. On the night of a great storm, Blake was convinced the Haunter would get him if he slept, as he would return to the church, and remained around lights. As a lightning caused a power failure, the Haunter fled the church, and Blake found the dead body of Blake the next morning.; After Blake's death, his friend Howard Phillips came to Dexter who admitted he believed the jewel was tied to Blake's death. Dexter broke into the church, stole the chest and jewel and threw it in the deepest channel of Narragansett Bay, but Nyarlathotep escaped the bay and came to possess Dr. Dexter. Phillips kept on on his research, but was found dead three days later, presumably killed by the Haunter. ============================================================ Siege Parallel Kind: item Page: Siege Parallel Formal name: Siege Parallel Type: Unique Amulet First appearance: Champions Vol 2 25 Created by: Jim Zub; Sean Izaakse Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Amka Aliyak Previous owners: Sila Notes: The Siege Parallel is similar in capabilities and name to the Siege Perilous.

While the wizard revealed the Black Mirror, or Mirror of Zaffar, Thongor threw the crystal at the Mirror of Zaffar, breaking it and unleashing Aqquoonkagua, Prince of Hell, from his prison.

History: Designed as both a navigational and containment measure, the device was intended to keep Ego in constant motion through space, preventing the Living Planet from focusing its consciousness into a coordinated effort of planetary-scale destruction. By forcing continuous displacement, the unit effectively disrupted Ego’s ability to stabilize its planetary form or concentrate his mental processes.; Over time, however, Ego developed the capacity to interface with and assert partial control over the propulsion system. Through sustained psychic adaptation, he was eventually able to override its original constraints, integrating the device into his own biomechanical structure.; This adaptation granted Ego unrestricted mobility across interstellar space, allowing him to traverse vast regions of the galaxy at will while retaining full control of his planetary body. ============================================================ Sleepers (Robots) Kind: item Page: Sleepers (Robots) Formal name: Sleeper Type: Robot First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 72 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Origin: German Lead designer: Red Skull Previous owners: Red Skull; Hydra Dimensions: 6'4" Weight: 1064 lbs Model: The [designation] Sleeper, SL-[#] Properties: ===Powers===; Various, originally the Fourth Sleeper could alter its density from its natural tempered steel form to total intangibility. The circuits that controlled this function have burned out and have not been replaced. This Sleeper originally could also generate "volcanic" thermal energy and project it through its faceplace. This function has also apparently been eradicated.; ===Abilities===; Programmed to be moderately proficient at hand-to-hand combat; ===Strength===; Superhuman Class 10; ===Weaknesses===; The vibration of a certain "sonic crystal" caused the Fourth Sleeper's intangibility control to malfunction; ===Weapons===; Repulsor ray blasters mounted in its eye sockets History: The Sleepers were a series of robot created by the Red Skull for the Nazi party to carry on their legacy after they were defeated and punish those that had worked against them in an operation called "Der Tag" ("The Day"). As it was, Allied intelligence learned that much of the plan, but no more information on what it meant. That included Captain America himself, although he had a list of the agents involved, although he realized some time after his revival from suspended animation of its relevance and traveled to Germany to stop them.; The advanced designs for the Nazi Sleepers were based on the Thule society's efforts to recreate the Serpent's version of the Asgardian Destroyer. This one was awakened as the Final Sleeper.; The first known Trio of Sleepers were each assigned an agent who had the task of awakening one of the robots that would combine to form a new super-robot. Despite Captain America's efforts to stop them, the first Sleeper was awakened by Martinus Von Kimmer, the second Sleeper by Erica Wolfmann, and the third Sleeper by a Nazi agent named Schlag. Captain America attempted to stop the first two on his own, then realized he needed reinforcements and alerted a nearby NATO base as to the emergency.; Unfortunately, the task force was unable to stop the two Sleepers from joining with the third Sleeper. The three robots were designed to fuse into one giant robot and then take course north, presumably to the North Pole where Captain America surmised that it was going to burrow deep into Earth there and destroy the world in a cataclysmic explosion. Whether or not that was going to be the actual function of the robots, Cap was determined to prevent it. The Sleepers were defeated when Cap sabotaged the fused robot, parachuting onto the flying robot and detonating it over the Atlantic.; A fourth Sleeper, a living Volcano, was awakened by the Red Skull using a soni-crystal delivered to him by a Nazi agent named Von Krimm. It disintegrated and was presumably destroyed when Agent 13's feelings for Captain America caused the soni-crystal to shatter.; A fifth Sleeper was also activated by the Red Skull. This Sleeper was more of a vehicle than a robot, and was piloted by the Skull and a group of Hydra agents. The Kingpin's mob distracted it with tanks, while Captain America and the Falcon snuck aboard and destroyed it from within.; In an attempt to cause chaos preceding the Civil War, the Red Skull smuggled parts of a gigantic Sleeper into London, and set it on a path of wanton destruction. The robot was stopped by Captain America, the Winter Soldier, Spitfire, Union Jack, and Agent 13. The Red Skull used the battle as a means to promote the United States' passage of the Superhuman Registration Act.; An undesignated Sleeper was found in Egypt, and was dealt with by various generations of the Parker family. ============================================================ Slaughter (Spear) Kind: item Page: Slaughter (Spear) Formal name: Spear of Lugh, named Slaughter by Cúchulain Other aliases: Spear of Chulain; Lance of Chulain ancient weapon of Chulain Type: Spear First appearance: Thor: Blood Oath Vol 1 4 Created by: Mike Oeming; Scott Kolins Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Otherworld; Magical; Celtic Current owner: Cúchulain Previous owners: Lugh; Morrigan History: That spear was known as the Spear of Lugh. His demigod son Cúchulain inherited it upon his death; and through apotheosis ascended into a full God, and renamed it Slaughter.; As punishment for accidentally killing a giant, the Warriors Three had to complete several nearly impossible tasks involving other pantheons. Thor volunteers to accompany them, but is forbidden from using Mjolnir during their journey. One of these tasks was to claim Slaughter in Ireland. They were tricked by a Leprechaun into taking both the spear and what appeared to be a human child. The child was actually a disguised Chulain, the Celtic warrior-god to whom the spear belonged, who savagely attacked them. The skin of Dionysus's pig was able to calm the spear while apples from Yggdrasil cured fatal injuries to Thor and Volstagg. After the quest was fulfilled, the spear was returned to Ireland.; Slaughter was kept in a pot of boiling blood to satisfy its killing hunger. ============================================================ Smart Metal Armor (Earth-9119) Kind: item Page: Smart Metal Armor Formal name: Smart Metal Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man: The End Vol 1 1 Created by: David Michelinie; Bob Layton; Bernard Chang Reality: Earth-9119 Lead designer: Iron Man Place of creation: Stark Universal Current owner: Iron Man History: The last armor used by Tony Stark; after the Ultra-Dynamo found ways to counteract it, Stark looked to find both a replacement for himself and the armor design.

Gage; Sean Chen Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Kree; Inhuman Lead designer: Kree Place of creation: Attilan, Earth Model: Unique History: The plans for the Slave Engine were given to the Inhumans by the Kree at the onset of their civilization. The device was designed to use Xerogen Crystals to turn humans, mutants, and many other metahumans into Alpha Primitives, while leaving Gods, Inhumans, and alien species like the Kree or Skrulls unaffected. Victims had to breathe in the Xerogen Mist produced by the Slave Engine in order to be transformed.; While the device was in fact built, it was never actually used, as it was deemed too dangerous by the Unspoken to be available to the Inhumans. He removed it from Attilan and hid it in the Cavern of the Lost. When he wouldn't reveal the cavern's location, he was banished from society and all traces of his existence were erased. ============================================================ Sonic Disruptor Kind: item Page: Sonic Disruptor Formal name: Sonic Disruptor Other aliases: Force Glove; Sound Converter Type: Sonic Weapon First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 53 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Ulysses Klaw Additional designers: AIM Place of creation: Belgium Current owner: Ulysses Klaw Material: Vibranium Properties: The Sound Disruptor is able to transform ambient sound to perform a series of functions, including the projection of intense high-volume sonic waves and blasts of concussive force and the creation of mobile sound/mass constructs. It can knock people out or give them severe migraines by producing certain frequencies. When he fought Volcana while trying to abduct Molecule Man he demonstrated the ability to create "cohesive sound". This was essentially an entangling/crushing construct that absorbed ambient noise to increase its size and strength. The noise from the target's struggles to remove the construct would make it larger and stronger. Volcana was only able to escape it by changing into her ash form. History: Ulysses Klaw wears a prosthetic device composed of molybdenum steel which contains a miniature version of his sound converter machine. The artificial hand is attached to his sound/mass body by as yet unknown means. Klaw can activate the circuitry of the device by pseudo-cybernetic commands. The sound converter was invented by Klaw, and later improved by A.I.M. scientists and technicians. ============================================================ Skrull Pill (Earth-20604) Kind: item Page: Skrull Pill Formal name: Skrull Pill Type: Drug First appearance: Ultimate Fantastic Four Vol 1 28 Created by: Mark Millar; Greg Land Reality: Earth-20604 Origin: Deviant Skrull; Created by the Skrulls History: The Skrull Pills were given to the human race by the Skrulls with the promise that they will rid man-kind of disease and will grant super powers to all who ingest them. The hidden purpose of the pills is to eventually kill the person who ingested them, leaving the planet at the mercy of the Skrull Empire. ============================================================ Smile-Face Armor Kind: item Page: Smile-Face Armor Formal name: Smile-Face Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Cage Vol 1 2 Created by: Marcus McLaurin; Dwayne Turner Reality: Earth-616 Trivia: The armor's name was never given in the comic. History: Used by the organization The Hammer, which was a fork of Cameron Hodge's The Right. ============================================================ Solar Energy Destructo-Ray Kind: item Page: Solar Energy Destructo-Ray Formal name: Solar Energy Destructo-Ray Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 92 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Half-Face Place of creation: Hill 38 Current owner: Half-Face History: Half-Face shot one point-blank blast of this Solar Energy Destructo-Ray against Iron Man, while he was approaching to the castle atop Hill 38. ============================================================ Solar Energy Converter Kind: item Page: Solar Energy Converter Formal name: Solar Energy Converter Type: Power Source First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 25 Created by: Archie Goodwin; Johnny Craig Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Blane Ordway Place of creation: Meridian Island, Atlantic Ocean Place of destruction: Meridian Island, Atlantic Ocean History: The solar energy converter was created by Blane Ordway, who funded its research by fudging the budget for the Meridian Island project. Once the machine had completed its charging cycle, he hoped it would be able to complete to power a dozen operations for a lifetime. As a toxic gas from the chemical waste was spreading across the island, the sunlight attracted by the converter was the catalyst that turned it into a smog and other deadly compounds, so the facility was eventually destroyed by Iron Man and the Sub-Mariner. ============================================================ Sol's Hammer Kind: item Page: Sol's Hammer Formal name: Sol's Hammer Other aliases: Stark Sphere Type: Technology First appearance: New Avengers Vol 3 4 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Steve Epting Reality: Earth-616 Origin: A fail-safe for the crisis of the colliding universes Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Reed Richards, T'Challa, Shi'ar Place of creation: Sun Current owner: Orchis Previous owners: Illuminati Model: 1 Properties: Sol's Hammer captures and controls the energy radiated by the Sun. It only needed to be 2% complete to be able to destroy entire planets.; clear Notes: Reed Richards was the one who named the Sol's Hammer. Presumably, Reed was inspired by Sol's Anvil, which was built by the Interdimensional Council of Reeds and was used by Reed-616 during the conflict against the Mad Celestials. History: The Sol's Hammer was a partial Dyson sphere designed by Tony Stark as a fallback plan for the crisis of the incursions by weaponizing the power of the Sun. At a point before the Builder War, it was operating at 0.008%, enough energy to power a moon.; When a Shi'ar fleet attempted to destroy the Earth in order to put an end to the incursions, Iron Man used Sol's Hammer to slaughter the invading force, but in the process, Sol's Hammer was destroyed.; The schematics of Sol's Hammer eventually fell in the hands of Damage Control since the company also operated as an archival unit for government-contested technology that belonged to missing, incapacitated or deceased individuals. Despite Tony Stark and Reed Richards going to great lengths to ensure that their technology did not fall in the hands of other parties besides each other, Damage Control gained the rights to Sol's Hammer data after Reed was missing from a prolonged period of time and Stark was incapacitated. The remains of the Sol's Hammer were later retrofitted by the Orchis into the Orchis Forge. ============================================================ Sol's Anvil Kind: item Page: Sol's Anvil Formal name: Sol's Anvil Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: FF Vol 1 3 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Barry Kitson Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Interdimensional Council of Reeds Additional designers: Reed Richards-12498; Reed Richards-4280; Reed Richards; Professor Richards Previous owners: Interdimensional Council of Reeds Trivia: Later on, during the incursion crisis, Iron Man commissioned a partial dyson sphere to weaponize the Sun. When he showed it to his fellow Illuminati members, Reed Richards named it the Sol's Hammer. History: The Sol's Anvil was the most powerful weapon ever constructed by man. It channeled the power of the Sun through a fixed point buttressed by the Earth itself. The Interdimensional Council of Reeds first used a Sol's Anvil to "crush a Beyonder" from Earth-5202.; After being trapped on Earth-616, the last four surviving members of the Council sought to construct another Sol's Anvil to use it against the Mad Celestials, who had just wiped out rest of the Council. It used the energies of four cities: the Forever City, Old Atlantis, the Blue Area of the Moon, and the Negative Zone. The four Reeds sought to establish control over all four with varied success.; The weapon was eventually fired by Earth-616's Reed Richards against three invading Mad Celestials, who had merged into one. While the blast did obliterate their merged form, it did not kill any of them, and the Mad Celestials emerged separated but unharmed. ============================================================ Sinister Soldiers (Multiverse) Kind: item Page: Sinister Soldiers Formal name: Sinister Soldiers Other aliases: Portal Troops Type: Robot First appearance: Spider-Man Unlimited (video game) Created by: Chase Marotz; Tom Dziuba Reality: Multiverse Lead designer: Quentin Beck Current owner: Multiversal Sinister Six Previous owners: Quentin Beck; Wild Pack Notes: The "S6" on the standard uniforms stands for "Sinister 6". Trivia: The Sinister Solders were voiced by John Eric Bentley. History: The Sinister Soldiers were the robotic henchmen of the Multiversal Sinister Six. They were created from technology across the Multiverse by Mysterio.; ==Variants==; Image; Description; Issue; These members are colored gold and brown and carry Isotope-8.; Golden Sinister Soldiers; These versions of Sinister Soldiers were upgraded with technology from Earth-TRN389.; 2099-Upgrades; These soldiers were upgraded by Doctor Octopus. They wear diving gear and carry electric batons.; Underwater Lab Upgrade; The Underwater Lab uniforms altered by Mysterio's illusions. They share his color scheme.; Mysterio design ============================================================ SItuation Emergency Gear (Earth-928) Kind: item Page: SItuation Emergency Gear Formal name: SItuation Emergency Gear Other aliases: Siege Type: Armor First appearance: Spider-Man 2099 Vol 1 11 Created by: Peter David; Rick Leonardi Reality: Earth-928 Lead designer: Alchemax Additional designers: Stark-Fujikawa Current owner: Public Eye History: The Siege Armor is a co-developed project between Alchemax and Stark-Fujikawa. There's only few Siege Units, worn by specially trained agents planted in the Public Eye Corps. ============================================================ Slave Discs Kind: item Page: Slave Discs Formal name: Slave Discs Other aliases: Controller Discs; Control Disks Type: Technology First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 12 Created by: Archie Goodwin; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Mind control technology Lead designer: Basil Sandhurst Current owner: The Controller; Mentallo History: Basil Sandhurst, the Controller created the "slave discs" which he places on his victims. He uses the technology to control and absorb psychic energy. The discs formerly needed the medium of the Mental-Wave Absorbatron, but later, with the help of Titanian technology, the discs could broadcast energy directly to his exoskeleton as well as allow him a direct mental link to communicate telepathically with each victim, one person at a time. ============================================================ Siri's Dress Kind: item Page: Siri's Dress Formal name: Siri's Dress Other aliases: Siriana Armor Type: Unique Magical Armor First appearance: Angela: Asgard's Assassin Vol 1 3 Created by: Kieron Gillen; Phil Jimenez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian Current owner: Angela Previous owners: Siriana Properties: The main purpose of this dress was to save Siri's bridal modesty, and thus was confectioned to be the one thing that the all-seeing Heimdall couldn't see through. Due to its magical nature, it will be whatever its holder considers beautiful. For Angela, it became a winged suit of armor. The wings projected by the dress allowed Angela to fly at high speeds in a matter of seconds. History: When the Aesir/Vanir War ended, Siriana of the Aesir and Heimdall of the Vanir, who loved each other but couldn't be together because of the war, finally got their chance to be in unison. To save bridal modesty, a dress was confectioned in order to prevent Heimdall, the All-Seeing, from seeing through it.; However, the wedding never happened, and the dress was left protected in the Union Temple, where All-Father Odin and Freyja married, in Vanaheim. Only those who had no need for it could steal it, while those who had could not.; After kidnapping the Heir of Asgard in order to purge her from Surtur's essence, Angela was taken by Sera to the temple where the dress was left. Without explaining anything to Angela, Sera ordered her to enter the temple's ruins, where she found the dress waiting for her. With Heimdall incapable of seeing her, the Asgardians would not be able to track her down anymore, and so Angela proceeded safely to the Moon, where the Guardians of the Galaxy were waiting for her. ============================================================ Soda Machine Kind: item Page: Soda Machine Formal name: Soda Machine Other aliases: Vending Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Power Man Vol 1 28 Created by: Don McGregor; George Tuska; Vince Colletta Reality: Earth-616 History: The Gem Theater held a soda dispensing machine which tormented Luke Cage. For example, it gave him soup when he had selected a soda. Despite D.W. Griffith's tinkering, and an occasional punching from Luke Cage, it was never depicted as functioning properly. ============================================================ Solartron Kind: item Page: Solartron Formal name: Solartron Other aliases: Solar-Powered Station; Solartron Complex Type: Power Source First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 196 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Additional designers: Dr. Kaminski, Gert Hauptmann, Psycho-Man, Reed Richards Place of creation: Doctor Doom's Castle (Upstate New York) Current owner: Victor von Doom History: Doctor Doom developed and built the Solartron Complex in the basement of his New York Castle. It was a solar-powered energy generator that could provide energy to the whole United States indefinitely, and which Doom intended to use to power his many weapons and military devices. This was achieved throughout a room-sized, multi-faceted radiation crystal that reflected sunlight, generating energy in the process. The crystal was also a thousandfold mirror, reflecting its environment and the local radiation in those solar-powered intensified reflections. As a result, no-one without protective lenses could afford to enter the complex, under penalty of going crazy due to the sensorial volley and the radiation. Doom's mask included protective lenses for himself.; Doom schmed to use the Solartron in a particular plot to take over the world. At that point, Doom was the monarch of Latveria as Doom the First. The United Nations were considering a vote of no confidence and expulsion of Latveria due to supposed crimes Doom had committed. To prevent this, Doom intended to abdicate in favour of Victor von Doom the Second, his so-called son, but secretly his clone instead. Doom had ordered several artists, including Alicia Masters, to sculpt a statue of himself with a non-scarred face, to be delivered in the United Nations Headquarters to commemorate his relinquishment. However, Doom expected to rule through his clone and the statue was to include a device to control the emotions of the U.N. delegates, so that they would obey Doom's whims.; This technology, partially based in Psycho-Man's equipment and powered and controlled through the Solartron complex, was beyond Doom's considerable skills. Using the cover company Cynthian Associates, Doom recruited several teams of highly intelligent scientists, giving each of them only a section of the puzzle, and never telling them that they were working for the Latverian government. Doom's clone and scientist Gert Hauptmann oversaw this operation.; Doom recruited his former enemy Reed Richards, who had justlost his super-powers, disbanded the Fantastic Four and forfeit his identity as Mr. Fantastic. Richards worked in the New York State along with a Dr. Kaminski. Being particularly intelligent, Richards understood that his work continued another man's previous ideas and progress and, considering the components used, he reduced the possible outcomes of the research. As Richards was too close to truth, Doom's clone had him hypnotized to capture the other members of the Fantastic Four, then compelled him to recover his powers in a shuttle flight because Doom was to steal all the Fantastic Four's powers with a Power Transference Machine and gave them to the clone. While the flight was successful, Richards was believed dead and rescued by S.H.I.E.L.D.. Richards, now knowing he was against Doom, developed a micro-feedback system he hid in his belt to short-circuit most of Doom's technology.; Doom re-captured Richards and took him, along with the other Fantastic Four, to the Power Transference Machine, but Richards escaped using his new device, then released his partners and foiled the clone's crowning ceremony by revealing the clone's true nature. The clone, refusing to follow Doom's orders, attacked his creator and forced Doom to kill him. Doom refused to abdicate in favour of his opponent, Zorba Fortunov: Instead, he ordered to carry his statue to his castle in New York State and from there to the United Nations Headquarters. The Fantastic Four chased him, but they were unable to reach the UNHQ in time.; Richards had separated from his teammates to follow Doom himself, and attacked Doom at the Solartron. Richards' device, still hidden in his belt, short-circuited Doom's Armor, disabling most of its mechanisms. Doom, using the armor's reserves, immobilized Richards and activated the statue's controls from the Solartron. The UN delegates, under Doom's hypnotic control, attacked the Fantastic Four.; Richards, however, released himself and took Doom's mask, including its protective lenses. The solar-powered intensified radiations in the Solartron drove Doom crazy, leaving him in a catatonic state. Richards immediately operated the Solartron's keyboards to release the UN delegates.; Doom's ordeal at the Solartron Complex became public knowledge soon afterward, with the Latverian commoners being familiar with their former king's ordeal there. ============================================================ Solar Plant Kind: item Page: Solar Plant Formal name: Solar Plant Other aliases: Array of solar batteries; Solar Generator Type: Power Source First appearance: Giant-Size Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 2 Created by: Roy Thomas; Mike Sekowsky Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Victor von Doom Additional designers: Doctor Doom's Androids Place of creation: Probably Doctor Doom's Castle; Latveria Place of destruction: Doctor Doom's Castle; Latveria Previous owners: Victor von Doom History: Worried about the declining stock of fossil fuels, Doctor Doom decided to build a solar-powered energy plant to provide electricity using renewable sources. He resorted to his intelligent Androids as workers and technicians, and succeeded at building the first functional array of batteries in the world, decades before the rest of the world could equal the achievement. Satisfied at this achievement, Doom invited the Sub-Mariner to show him the device and explain how they could use it together for a relevant plan.; Their interview was cut short due to the attack of Doom's selfsame androids, rebelling under the leadership of the Lord of the Androids. The androids destroyed the Solar Plant. Although Doom and the Sub-Mariner defeated the androids and put their Lord to flight, it was too late to save the Solar Plant. ============================================================ Sonic Drill Kind: item Page: Sonic Drill Formal name: Sonic Drill Type: Technology First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 2 Created by: Tony Isabella; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Probably Castle Doom; Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom History: This device was developed by Doctor Doom and could be optionally incorporated within his armor, its single operative unit being kept at Castle Doom's labs the rest of the time. The device sent a bolt of energy that could bore through ground of stone or mud making absolutely no sound. It could create a tunnel of up to three meters of diameter, slowly creating the tunnel. It could also be reconfigured as a weapon to attack nearby enemies, but the process required manual resetting.; At one point, Doom travelled to the Hydrobase research center in his Amphibious Skycraft to help rescuing his prospective ally the Sub-Mariner from the later's enemies Attuma; Doctor Dorcas and Tiger Shark. Doom did not reached the place undetected - Dorcas's sensors identified the ship and Doom had had an encounter with Attuma's troops. Thus, Dorcas and his cronies were alert and decided to ambush Doom at the Sub-Mariner's cell, his obvious target.; Doom meanwhile allied with Sub-Mariner's friend-with-benefits Betty Dean Prentiss, who told Doom where was Sub-Mariner being held. Doom used his Sonic Drill to reached the underground cell, but once there he and Dean Prentiss found that the enemies were waiting for them. However, when the tied Sub-Marined distracted the enemies' attention, Doom quickly reconfigured the Drill and turned it into a weapon that stunned Attuma and Shark. Doom eventually released the Sub-Mariner and escaped with him, although they were unable to save Dean Prentiss.; No longer after that, back in Latveria, Doctor Doom was ambushed by up-and-coming superhero Shroud. When Shroud dodged Doom's Fingertip Darts, Doom decided to try the Sonic Drill against this foe. However, Shroud was quicker than Doom and threw parallo-mist to the Doctor before Doom could use the Drill. ============================================================ Sokovia Accords (Earth-199999; Earth-TRN836; Earth-86445) Kind: item Page: Sokovia Accords Formal name: Sokovia Accords Other aliases: The Accords Type: Document First appearance: Captain America: Civil War Created by: Anthony Russo; Joe Russo; Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely Reality: Earth-199999; Earth-TRN836; Earth-86445 Lead designer: United Nations Place of creation: 2015 Place of destruction: Between 2023 and 2025 Current owner: United Nations Notes: The Sokovia Accords have primarily appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically in WHIH Newsfront, Captain America: Civil War, Ant-Man (film), Black Widow (film), Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Spider-Man: Homecoming, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot, Ant-Man and the Wasp (film), Avengers: Infinity War, WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.; Though not directly mentioned, the Sokovia Accords are alluded to in Marvel's Inhumans and Marvel's Jessica Jones. In the former, a registry for super-humans is brought up, which is one of the regulations of the Accords. In the latter, the Raft is commonly mentioned as a consequence for enhanced criminals, with Alisa Jones planned to be incarcerated there, and both Trish Walker and Willis Stryker ending up there.; The Accords also appeared in Helstrom (TV series), a series set outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as part of an article in a prop newspaper.; The accords also appeared in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (TV series), another series set outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe History: The Sokovia Accords are a set of documents created by the United Nations to enforce guidelines for the use of enhanced individuals in combat situations. The documents were signed by 117 member nations. It was created after Ultron's attack on the European nation of Sokovia. Those who violated the Accords or other superhuman-related legislature would end up in the Raft, a maximum security prison specifically designed by Thunderbolt Ross to house enhanced individuals and work in conjunction with the Accords.; By the 2020s, the Sokovia Accords had been repealed. ============================================================ Sling Ring (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Sling Ring Formal name: Sling Ring Other aliases: Ring of Zona; Rings of Compulsion Type: Ring First appearance: Marvel's Doctor Strange Prelude Vol 1 1 Created by: Scott Derrickson; Jon Spaihts; Scott Derrickson; C. Robert Cargill Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange; Wong; Karl Mordo; Masters of the Mystic Arts Previous owners: Ancient One; Ned Leeds; Lucian Aster; Kaecilius; Zealots Properties: Portal Creation: A Sling Ring can open a dimensional portal between any two points within the universe. Additionally, if someone is in the Mirror Dimension (which is possible to access by using a spell), using a Sling Ring appears to be the only way to leave it and return to Earth's plane of existence.; Opening the portal requires wearing the Sling Ring on one hand while doing a circular motion with the other hand while picturing the destination in one's mind. According to Karl Mordo, the clearer and more detailed the mental picture, the quicker and easier the portal appears. It is also possible to use the Sling Ring to open a portal to the location where someone else is, even if the wearer does not know where exactly that would be.; Some people may have different levels of difficulty in learning how to use the Sling Ring in the first place. The wearer may be unable to create any portals despite performing the hand gesture, as shown when Doctor Strange was originally attempting to use it. Conversely, Ned Leeds was able to successfully use a Sling Ring after few attempts.; According to Ancient One and Karl Mordo when mentoring Doctor Strange, the fact that Doctor Strange's hands were uncontrollably shaking due to having nerve damage should not be a problem for the purpose of using the Sling Ring. However, it appears that attempting to rationalize how the Sling Ring works may prevent it to actually work, and the wearer should surrender to it instead. Notes: When the Sling Rings are first introduced in Doctor Strange (film), Karl Mordo notes that they can be used to travel through the Multiverse. However, the film's conception of the Multiverse more closely relates to the overlapping dimensions that make up a single reality, since it involves the travel between them (Earthspace, the Mirror Dimension and the Dark Dimension), as opposed to the collection of alternate realities. Further depictions of the Multiverse, like in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, encompass the traditional sense of the concept, and it is implicitly established that Sling Rings cannot be used to traverse between realities (therefore cannot actually travel through the Multiverse), since the film establishes that America Chavez's powers to conjure up portals into other realities is unique. In Deadpool & Wolverine, Cassandra Nova uses a Sling Ring to open portals between the Void and Earth-10005, but it is retrofitted with a Time and Reality Stone embedded on its sides. History: The Sling Rings were one of the most common tools used by Masters of the Mystic Arts.; When Doctor Strange was being trained in the Mystic Arts in Kamar-Taj, he was having difficulties mastering the Sling Ring. It wasn't until the Ancient One left him atop Mount Everest that Strange finally mastered the Sling Ring.; After the Avengers reversed the effects of the "Snap", Doctor Strange used his Sling Ring to travel from Titan to Earth while Wong and the other Masters of the Mystic Arts used Sling Rings to open portals from Wakanda, New Asgard, San Francisco, and multiple other locations to bring the Avengers' allies to the ruins of the New Avengers Facility to battle Thanos and his army.; During a fight match at the Golden Dagger Club in Macau, Wong used his Sling Ring to defeat Abomination. After the fight, Wong used the Sling Ring to travel away from the Club with Abomination. Later, Wong used his Sling Ring to gather Shang-Chi and Katy.; During a disagreement on the fates of their prisoners, Doctor Strange used his Sling Ring to transport him and Spider-Man into the Mirror Dimension. However, Spider-Man stole his Sling Ring trapping Doctor Strange in the Mirror Dimension. Spider-Man then gave the Sling Ring to Ned Leeds for safe keeping. While trying to find Peter, Ned accidentally activated the Sling Ring using it to bring others to him, but he did not full master its use. ============================================================ Skrull Adrenaline Compound Kind: item Page: Skrull Adrenaline Compound Formal name: Skrull Adrenaline Compound Other aliases: Evolution formula composite Skrull adrenaline; Skrull adrenaline formula Type: Drug First appearance: Blackwulf Vol 1 2 Created by: Glenn Herdling; Angel Medina Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull; Mixture of adrenaline from Deviant Skrulls and Prime Skrulls Place of creation: Hangar 18 Notes: Although Caitlin Maddox definitely did survive the death touch of Lord Tantalus in Blackwulf Vol 1 9, her explanation for how she survived seems unsubstantiated because her ingestion of the Skrull Adrenaline Formula was never shown or even implied in previous issues. Additionally, she had no motive for ingesting the formula since there was no way that she could know that she would soon be killed unless she ingested it. This lack of foreshadowing makes her unexpected survival seem contrived and implausible. History: Major Ross Jonas gained his immunity to fire and ability to generate and control blue flames after he ingested the "evolution formula" to keep it from falling into the hands of the Peacekeepers.; The Prime Skrull's latent mutant ability to alter the molecular structure of other beings and things was activated after Dr. Caitlin Maddox injected him with the "adrenaline compound" to revive him.; Dr. Maddox later stated that she assumed that she had survived the death touch of Lord Tantalus because she, like Scorch, had ingested the "Skrull adrenaline formula." ============================================================ Sneeze Powder Gun Kind: item Page: Sneeze Powder Gun Formal name: Sneeze Powder Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Unstoppable Wasp Vol 1 2 Created by: Jeremy Whitley; Elsa Charretier Reality: Earth-616 Origin: One of the various inventions crafted by Moon Girl Lead designer: Lunella Lafayette Place of creation: Moon Girl's Secret Laboratory, P.S. 20, Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Moon Girl Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Sneeze Powder Gun was a firearm invented by Moon Girl which launched a projectile laden with sneeze powder.; When a rat that had been enlarged by Ying attacked Yancy Street, Wasp sprung into action but was seemingly swallowed by the gigantic beast. Moon Girl then fired the Sneeze Powder Gun, causing the rat to sneeze, expelling both the miniaturized Wasp and the Black Widow Ops Program device which had enlarged the rat in the process. ============================================================ Skyspear Kind: item Page: Skyspear Formal name: Skyspear Other aliases: Obelisk; Monolith; Death Type: Technology First appearance: Uncanny Inhumans Vol 1 1 Created by: Charles Soule; Steve McNiven Reality: Earth-616 Properties: The Skyspears are quantum computers for diagnostic purposes. They were flung towards Inhuman population centers with the objective to explore the powers of whoever entered in contact with them, and transmit the data back to their point of origin. To this end, a Skyspear will take control of the mind of an Inhuman that makes contact with it. The Inhuman's powers are then read and amplified for better analysis.; The programming of the Skyspears can vary. The Skyspears that fell on Earth could only interact with the Earthbound Inhumans, while the Skyspear that fell on Centauri-IV was set to interact with the remaining four species of the Universal Inhuman: the Incentaurians (Inhuman Centaurians), the Moord (Inhuman Badoon), the White Room (Inhuman Kymellians), and the Direst Wraiths (Inhuman Wraiths). Even though contact with a Skyspear by a member of different species is usually lethal, a Kree could establish an interact, seemingly because of the shared genetic heritage between the Kree and Inhumans.; Inner defenses found within the Skyspears can differentiate between living and artificial elements. Those capabilities of differentiation are seemingly originated from a range of subsonic, reciprocal bio-harmonic frequencies, which allow them to "read" the beings in their vicinity.; When taking control of an individual, a Skyspear can issue threat statuses and deploy countermeasures against interference. When the mutant the Collective Man attempted to destroy it, the Skyspear repelled him. If touched by machinery, a Skyspear releases what appears to be a pulse of gamma radiation. In the presence of a threat, a Skyspear will try to establish connection with near Inhumans so to control them and use them as part of its defenses. Notes: The Skyspears have runes written that translate to words in various languages. Among these words were "look-to-find" (meaning to examine or experiment, from the Wraith-Mark), "seed" (or maybe "fruit," from Old Kymellian), and "genocide" (from an ancient Inhuman sigil). History: ===Origins===; The Skyspears were diagnostic tools created by the Progenitors of the Kree. Numerous of these were flung towards Inhumans population centers with the objective to study them. Among the planets where they landed were Earth and Centauri-IV, home of the Earthbound Inhumans and Universal Inhumans, respectively.; ===Landfalls===; On Earth, a Skyspear landed in each of these locations: Central Park, New York City, United States of America; Uluru, Australia; Buguma, Nigeria; Manaus, Brazil; Kyiv, Ukraine; and Jinchang, China. The Royal Inhuman Diplomatic Mission got access to about half a dozen of these Skyspears by promising their governments to study them. Unfortunately, they weren't able to report any findings, due to lack of anything certain. Inhuman princess Crystal regarded the Skyspear's ability to amplify the powers of Inhumans as a threat, particularly due to continuous emergence of new untrained Inhumans all over the world.; On Centauri-IV, it landed in the Great Desert of Akuunos, close to Novahala, the home of the Universal Inhumans. White Room sage Moonlight Eye attempted to examine the Skyspear using his powers. The Skyspear took control of Moonlight Eye and any attempt to retrieve him was futile. He eventually died while bound to the Skyspear.; ===Search for the Progenitors===; Following the destruction of all Terrigen on Earth, Marvel Boy led a small crew of Inhumans, including Medusa and Maximus, to Hala, claiming a secret buried deep inside the ruins of the planet could ensure a future for the Inhuman race. Once in Hala, Marvel Boy planted the seed of his timeline's Plex Intelligence into the remains of the Supreme Intelligence hoping to reveal new truths about the Kree and Inhuman heritage. The reborn Plex Intelligence granted Marvel Boy with the knowledge of the Primagen, and pointed him towards the Skyspears in order to find the origin of the Kree.; The crew visited Novahala next, and investigated the Skyspear in the Great Desert with permission from the queens of the Universal Inhumans. Maximus forced Marvel Boy to enter into contact with the Skyspear. The resulting reaction gave Marvel Boy visions about the Skyspear's origin and nature. With the knowledge that the Skyspears possessed no motive power on their own had had to be thrown, Maximus set out to map the trajectory the Skyspear took to get to Centauri-IV back to its origin point. ============================================================ Slave-Collar Kind: item Page: Slave-Collar Formal name: Slave-Collar Other aliases: Attuma's Collars; Slave Collars Type: Technology First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 9 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Jim Shooter; Sal Trapani Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Atlantean Additional designers: Attuma Current owner: Attuma Trivia: In Avengers Vol 1 154, Attuma controls Vision with the Atomo-Collar. In the following appearance just after that, Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 9, he replaced the Atomo-Collar with Slave-Collars, which he also used on the other, just-captured Avengers. In S-V T-U #9, Attuma mentioned that he had "forged about" the Slave-Collars; that may mean that the Slave-Collars were finished only after Vision's capture, which would explain why Attuma didn't use the Slave-Collar on Vision instead of the Atomo-Collar. History: For a long time, Attuma, Warlord of Atlantis, had planned to use the superhero team Avengers to attack Attuma's personal nemesis, Namor the Sub-Mariner, as a decoy for a more complex plan, but for that Attuma needed to control the minds of the Avengers. Therefore, Attuma developed the Slave-Collars, which would allow him to give orders to the Avengers. At that time, Attuma wanted to steal a device with weapons potential, developed in an underwater laboratory in the coast of Maryland. Attuma mistakenly believed that the Sub-Mariner was at the Hydrobase, a floating oceanography research station in the Pacific Ocean, and feared that the Sub-Mariner would intervene in his operation, so he first sent a Patrol Cruiser to capture the Avenger Vision, which was in solo action over the Pacific Ocean, and provisionally held Vision prisoner aboard his flagship Squid using an Atomo-Collar. Then Attuma sent his agent Tyrak, an Atlantean with superhuman powers, to capture the rest of the Avengers. Tyrak managed to knock out all of the Avengers (except the Beast, who escaped to find reinforcements) and brought them aboard the Squid.; There, Attuma put the Slave-Collar on the Avengers' necks. Attuma then ordered the Avengers to go to the Hydrobase to fight the Sub-Mariner, while Attuma and his troops attacked the Maryland research center, whereupon he was not actively monitoring the Avengers. Vision later theorized that Attuma did not send Tyrak on that mission, because the Sub-Mariner would have recognized Tyrak as Attuma's agent and escape the fight to track Attuma. The Avengers tried in vain to remove the Slave-Collars, only succeeding in being stunned. Upon invading the Hydrobase, the Avengers found not the Sub-Mariner, but Doctor Doom. Demanding him to hand over the Sub-Mariner they attacked Doom, but he easily defeated them because the Avengers' combat capabilities were reduced because of the Slave-Collars, and to a lesser extent because Doom also had allies: Tamara Rahn, an alien; Namorita, the Sub-Mariner's cousin (although she claimed to be his sister at the time); and a number of Atlantean scientists.; Doom locked the Avengers in a Restraining Harness that kept them stunned and paralyzed, and interrogated Captain America to find out the reason for his attack: The Captain revealed Attuma's involvement, and Namorita, also Attuma's enemy, tried to convince Doom to help against the Warlord. When the Avengers were left alone in his cell, Vision observed that the Slave-Collars weren't affecting them as much as before, because in that situation they couldn't fill them with rage. This allowed them to come up with an escape plan: The Scarlet Witch used her powers to move Captain America's Shield until he could grab it, and then the Captain threw the shield to break Vision's Collar. Freed, Vision convinced Doom to help them against Attuma, by arguing that Attuma's triumph would eventually hurt Doom and his country, Latveria. Doom agreed to work with the Avengers and, in collaboration with Atlantean scientists from the Hydrobase, freed them from their restraining harness and had their Slave-Collars removed.; Doom observed that the Slave-Collars were powered by a psyche-energy beam which he correctly concluded must originate from Attuma's flagship and which Attuma could possibly use to check if his prisoners were still under his control. Doom used the energy link to pinpoint the source of the signal, which allowed him to find Attuma's secret base. Discarding the now useless Slave-Collars, the Avengers and Doom raided Attuma's base and defeated him.; ===Properties===; The Slave-Collars were a mind control device. People wearing one of these Collars around their necks had to obey the orders of Attuma, the Atlantean warlord, who had also forged the Collars. Attuma's orders had to be followed explicitly, limiting the slaves' initiative; for example, Attuma ordered the Avengers to attack a specific target, and the Avengers couldn't even help each other during the fight. The slaves could, however, speak freely. Supposedly, if enslaved people didn't obey orders, they risked dying somehow (although this was never proven). The collars worked on superpowered humans, combat armor wearers, and androids; Attuma's plan included using them on mutants as well, but he didn't get a chance.; The mind control method filled the slaves with rage, reducing their combat ability, and also, if the orders went against what the slaves wanted, they obeyed against their will, which slowed down their reactions. In a sealed and controlled environment where slaves were literally incapable of obeying orders, collars caused minor influence and allowed prisoners to make decisions for themselves and carry them out, including decisions that were openly against the orders; but to them the situation must make it unlikely that the prisoners would succumb to the fury. Also in these situations, prisoners could be forced to obey orders from other people.; The Collars were powered by a constant beam of psyche-energy that was generated in Attuma's mobile base, the battlecruiser Squid, and possibly allowed him to monitor people controlled through the same energy link; it is true that Attuma it could display images of people controlled by the Slave-Collars on the Squids monitors, even if they were several miles away. If the slaves attempted to free themselves from their Collars, the Collars would react by hurting the wearers: The armor of Iron Man short-circuited, Yellowjacket nearly fell off his flying ant, and Wasp and Scarlet Witch (the latter was already injured) were knocked unconscious, all while trying to free themselves from their collars. However, Doctor Doom managed to open the Collars without destroying them, having access to advanced technology and not being controlled by a Collar himself. The Collars could also be disabled if broken in any way.; Attuma also claimed that the Slave-Collars protected him from Vision's density manipulation powers and in fact Vision, under the effects of the collar, was unable to use these powers in his fight against Doctor Doom.; The process for donning and activating the Slave-Collars has not been revealed. Attuma required the Avengers to be knocked out and only then did he collar them. Subjects may need to be unconscious or immobilized, and the process may take minutes or hours. ============================================================ Skrull Sonic Disruptor Kind: item Page: Skrull Sonic Disruptor Formal name: Skrull Sonic Disruptor Other aliases: Planet Smasher Type: Sonic Weapon First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 93 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull Place of destruction: Kral IV Current owner: Skrull Empire History: A planet destroying Skrullian weapon (at least 4-5 stories high), one of a kind weapon of mass destruction which took ages to develop. It is capable of targeting and destroying celestial objects as small as a human satellite and as large as a planet. Attack is via subspace, and therefore nearly instantaneous with an effective distance of at least 2.5 million years (the distance between the Skrullian Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy).; The target is destroyed by the Sonic Disruptor by knocking it off its orbit and sending it crashing into its sun. The first version was destroyed by the Fantastic Four and decades later the newest version was destroyed by several Earth super heroes led by the Black Panther. ============================================================ Solar Stone Kind: item Page: Solar Stone Formal name: Solar Stone Type: Stone First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 26 Created by: Roy Thomas; Werner Roth Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Santo Rico, Central America Previous owners: Kukulcan Properties: Carved from an unknown mineral that was either inherently magical in nature or had been enchanted, the Solar Stone performed these two functions:; Light Absorption: The Solar Stone could absorb solar energy from the rays of the Sun that fell upon it. The stone may have been able to store that energy within itself until it was needed.; Power Transferal: The Solar Stone could magically transmit that energy to the Pendant of Kukulcán (also known as the Pendant of Power) which contained a much smaller stone that had been carved from the same mineral. Notes: Some official texts refer to the Solar Stone as a gem.; In the storyline in X-Men Vol 1 25, the Central American country within which the Pyramid of Kukulcán, the Feathered-Serpent stela and the Solar Stone were located was always stated to be "San Rico." However, decades later, Marvel Atlas Vol 1 2 revealed that "San Rico" was just a sometimes-used alternate name for the country of Santo Rico which had first appeared in Tales to Astonish Vol 1 54.; Very little is known about the Solar Stone. Aside from the fact that it functioned as the power source for the Pendant of Kukulcán and was itself powered by solar energy from the sun, nothing has been revealed about who created it and how, where and when it was created.; Similarly, although it is known that the pendant stopped receiving energy after the Solar Stone and the Feathered Serpent idol fell into an abyss opened by an earthquake, it has not been revealed if that was because the stone had shattered (like the idol) or was merely unable to transmit energy once it was completely buried underground instead of being in the open air.; Although it is generally assumed that the Pyramid of Kukulcán was one of the pyramids in the city where the Feathered Serpent idol and the Solar Stone were located, none of the pyramids seen in X-Men Vol 1 26 were identified as being the pyramid seen in X-Men Vol 1 25. Instead, when "Kukulcán" returned to Santo Rico and landed close to the idol, what he actually said was that he was "not far from where, as el Tigre, (he) first discovered the fabled Pendant of Power!" Depending on whether "not far from" was meant to be a short distance measured in feet or a longer distance measured in miles, the Pyramid of Kukulcán might actually have not been within the same city-state as the idol and its Solar Stone.; Similarly, it's unclear if the city where the idol and the Solar Stone were located was meant to be the same Maya city that, according to legend, had (perhaps) been showered with tons of molten lava when a misuse of the pendant's divine powers led to a holocaust of violent upheaval. If the city-state where the idol was located wasn't abandoned due to that disaster, then maybe it was abandoned after the kingdom was (maybe) conquered by conquistadores. History: Although the Solar Stone and the Pendant of Kukulcán presumably shared the same origin, no details about that origin have ever been revealed. They may have both been created by Maya sorcerers or by Maya gods or by some combination of sorcerers and gods. The city-state within which the Feathered Serpent Idol and the Solar Stone stood was abandoned centuries ago, and during those centuries the pyramids, the idol and the Solar Stone were all overgrown by the surrounding jungle. Since the 17th century, the territory has been part of the small Central American country of Santo Rico (sometimes called "San Rico").; In recent years, after Juan Meroz, the gem-hunter known as "el Tigre," had found and joined the two halves of the pendant and had been transformed into a reincarnation (or avatar) of Kukulkan, he immediately returned to the lost Maya city where his first act was to use his powers to clear away the trees and vegetation that had almost completely covered the idol. Then, after similarly uncovering the rest of the city, Kukulcan used his powers, which had seemingly been enhanced by his proximity to the now-uncovered Solar Stone, to send out a mental call that placed anybody nearby who was of Maya descent under his hypnotic control and made them the obedient subjects of his soon-to-be-restored Maya kingdom. However, Kukulcán's plans for world conquest were opposed by the mutant X-Men who had followed him from New York City to his base in "San Rico." During the battle between the X-Men and Kukulcan, the Beast noticed that the Solar Stone was made of the same mineral as the Pendant. Suspecting that this meant that the stone was Kukulcan's power source, Iceman began using his powers to cover the Solar Stone with ice while the other X-Men continued to battle Kukulcan so as to make him expend his stored solar energy. After noticing what Iceman was doing, Kukulcan tried to blast him with a solar bolt but discovered that his energy was already too depleted. Desperate to protect the source of his powers, Kukulcan fired a blast at the base of the idol, hoping to shake Iceman off the idol. However, his solar blast inadvertently struck an earth fault underneath the city, triggering an earthquake that caused the idol to crack and break into pieces while also opening a fissure in the courtyard that quickly swallowed both the Solar Stone and the fragments of the idol. When the fissure closed soon afterwards, the Solar Stone was apparently unable to continue supplying the pendant with the energy it needed to maintain its enchantment, thus rendering it inert and causing Kukulcan to revert to his true form as the powerless Juan Meroz. ============================================================ Somnotherm Kind: item Page: Somnotherm Formal name: Somnotherm Type: Technology First appearance: Inhumans Vol 1 1 Created by: Doug Moench; George Perez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Kree Place of destruction: Attilan; Himalayas Notes: Although the idea of the Inhumans being threatened by Kree weapons that had been buried beneath their Himalayan home millennia ago was interesting, it was also a continuity error because it had previously been established that the Inhumans had lived on the island of Attilan in the North Atlantic Ocean since prehistoric times and had only moved to the Great Refuge in the Himalayas relatively recently, during the reign of Black Bolt. This discontinuity was resolved in Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 72 when it was revealed that the Inhumans had relocated by transporting their city and the entire island upon which it rested. The entry for Attilan in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol 1 1 confirmed that the entire island complex had been moved and a side view showed that a great deal of the ground beneath the city had been transplanted as well, including the deeply-buried "Tombs of the Captroids." History: The Somnotherm was a device that was secretly buried deep in the ground under the Palace Royal of the Inhumans by the Kree millennia ago. It was the power source and activator of the four robotic Kaptroids that had been planted at the same time. The devices were to remain dormant until such time as they were needed. Once the Somnotherm rose, a final component would have to be added in order to activate it. As part of his deal with the Kree, Maximus agreed to activate it at a prearranged time.; However, when that time approached, Maximus was imprisoned and unable to fulfill his part of the bargain so the Kree instead freed Blastaar from imprisonment and recruited him for the task. As Blastaar approached Attilan, the Somnotherm erupted upwards through the floor of the throne room, shocking the five members of the Inhuman Royal Family who were present at the time. Soon after Black Bolt and Triton had departed to investigate the device, Blastaar arrived and began attacking Attilan. Medusa, Gorgon and Karnak tried to stop him but were defeated. Upon reaching the throne room, Blastaar retrieved the final component, the golden disc known as the Gong of Sovereigns, and placed where it was meant to be, then used a power blast on it that activated the Somnotherm, causing it to send energy downwards that activated the Kaptroids who then began to climb up to the surface.; Upon reaching the surface, the three surviving Kaptroids began carrying out their programmed mission to capture Inhumans. Working together, Medusa, Gorgon and Karnak managed to destroy one before Black Bolt realized that the robots were getting their energy from the Somnotherm. Karnak then used his skills to shatter the Gong of Sovereigns, deactivating the Somnotherm and cutting off the flow of power to the Kaptroids which then became inert. ============================================================ SO-2 Serum Kind: item Page: SO-2 Serum Formal name: SO-2 Serum Type: Drug First appearance: Savage Tales Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Gerry Conway; Gray Morrow Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Synthetic drug Lead designer: Dr. Ted Sallis Additional designers: Belasco Place of creation: Man-Thing's Swamp, Everglades, Florida, United States of America Current owner: Dr. Ted Sallis; Jackson Strode Properties: The SO-2 Serum gave its user immunity to all known toxic biochemicals. However, it was declared unusable when it was discovered that it had a side-effect: turning its users into monsters. History: Theodore Sallis developed the SO-2 Serum that turned him into a Man-Thing. This side-effect, in addition to the connection of the Nexus of All Realities, were later attributed to mystical enhancements to the serum that Dr. Salis bargained for from the demonic sorcerer and ruler of Limbo, Belasco. ============================================================ Solar Gem Kind: item Page: Solar Gem Formal name: Solar Gem Type: Power Source; Technology First appearance: Avengers Icons: The Vision Vol 1 1 Created by: Geoff Johns; Ivan Reis Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created in a laboratory in 1939 by Professor Phineas T.

History: To facilitate a Skrull invasion of Earth, the Skrulls built an interstellar portal in the backyard of two Skrulls who crashed on the planet years earlier and had built a life on the world. The portal was a ring on a platform, approximately 20 ft in height all together. With that portal, the Skrulls expected to be able to bring to Earth an invasion force of a million Skrulls. ============================================================ Skrull Anti-Gravity Disc Kind: item Page: Skrull Anti-Gravity Disc Formal name: Anti-Gravity Disc Type: Technology First appearance: Black Panther Vol 4 32 Created by: Reginald Hudlin; Francis Portela Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull History: Anti-gravity discs are Skrull devices that were small enough to hold within one's hand.

Because it produces so much energy, prolonged contact with the blade can result in damage to living tissue such as burns, scarring, or cancer. However, Skybreaker actually strengthens non-living materials (even organic material that was once living).; Durability: Skybreaker was virtually indestructible. Additionally, its blade never dulls.; Heat Resistance: Skybreaker was immune to all but the most extreme heat. Notes: The Skybreaker was mentioned in X of Swords: Creation Vol 1 1 prior to its first appearance in Marauders Vol 1 13.; The hilt of Skybreaker was made of African blackwood wrapped in panther leather. Trivia: Because of its importance, only the King is allowed to touch it, otherwise, it is considered a sacrilege. History: ===Origin===; After the Vibranium meteorite crashed on the Great Mound in what would later be known as Wakanda, the first Wakandan king, Bashenga traveled to the Great Mound and began studying the mysterious metal. To forge the metal, Bashenga built a smithy at the lip of a volcano with the assistance of his eldest daughter and son. After a month of working the metal, Bashenga forged The Skybreaker.; Predicting a terrible tempest that would erupt from the Great Mound, Bashenga climbed the the summit and used Skybreaker to absorb the maelstrom's fury. The storm raged on for multiple days and when he could take no more, he threw his spear and sword to discharge the energy across the night sky. Where the weapons landed, the Wakandans built Birnin Bashenga.; As the first king of Wakanda, Bashenga used The Skybreaker to defend his people and his land. Skybreaker was passed down from monarch to monarch through generations. The sword was also studied by Wakandans for generations and it was crucial to their technological advancements.; ===X of Swords===; During the attack of the First Horsemen of Apocalypse on the Starlight Citadel, Saturnyne intervened and set a contest where the forces of Krakoa and Arakko would each have ten swordbearers fighting in Otherworld. Storm was one of the Krakoans chosen to wield a blade, her sword being the Skybreaker. She visited Wakanda and asked for an audience to access the weapon, but had to wait for the return of King T'Challa. Due to the little time she had left and the danger the world was threatened by, Ororo stole the sword from the heavily guarded Temple of the Heart of Wakanda.; During her battle against Death, Storm used Skybreaker to reflect Death's Death Stare on him, and then stabbed him with it, leaving the Sevalithi to feed on Death. In the aftermath of the tournament, Storm returned Skybreaker to its rightful owners, but the damage its absence caused on her relationship to Wakanda would never be healed. ============================================================ Snare of Baltik (Earth-59512) Kind: item Page: Snare of Baltik Formal name: Snare of Baltik Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 5 12 Created by: Mark Waid; Barry Kitson Reality: Earth-59512 Current owner: Zoloz, Doctor Strange History: Zoloz used the Snare of Baltik to bind Doctor Strange while stealing his magical artifacts.; Doctor Strange later tried and failed to use this spell against Galactus. ============================================================ Solaris Armor (Earth-38264) Kind: item Page: Solaris Armor (Earth-38264) Formal name: Solaris Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers (video game) Created by: Shaun Escayg; Morgan W.

When being used by the In-Betweener for education, he brings in a monitor and supplies and awards progress with praise. However, there is also a door that residents are not supposed to open, which leads to an even bigger room with more Skinner boxes, possibly linking them all together. To the boxes' inhabitants, the box is their home and everything outside the box is "only a dream," and like a dream, it is easily forgotten once the person "wakes up."; Clear Trivia: "Bigger on the inside than the outside," is a reference to the TARDIS from Doctor Who. History: The In-Betweener created Skinner boxes to hold and reprogram magicians and scientists. The box was the "home" of Cubisk Core. After the Buchcub had reduced Cubisk Core's mind to a child, he returned to his box in Athens, Georgia and reunited with his mysterious lover inside. Doctor Strange, Wyn, and Dimitri watched from the outside.; Soon after, Robert Forson, another person who had the same markings as Cubisk Core, attempted to end everything at the Library of Worlds. He too was defeated by Wyn and Strange, who returned him home and found yet another Skinner box. The magical duo entered the box and discovered it was way bigger on the inside than on the outside. Additionally, there was a door that led to a massive labyrinth made of Skinner boxes.; The Asgardians entered the Skinner Box's labyrinth in search for their missing brother Tyr, who had been led into the box by Loki in order to trap him following the incident with Røkkva. However, the Skinner Box was much worse than Røkkva as it had taught Tyr the ways of Oblivion. A portion of Tyr's soul had been removed, allowing Oblivion to take over him, and the Odinspawn, with help from Tiwaz, were able to restore Tyr by completing his soul. ============================================================ Sleep Gun Kind: item Page: Sleep Gun Formal name: Sleep Gun Type: Energy Weapon; Firearm First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 26 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Atlantean scientists Current owner: Attuma Properties: The Sleep-Gun was an Atlantean weapon that had the same effect as sleeping gas on those hit by the rays emitted by the weapon.

Its power was sufficient to unravel the extensive lattice of protective spells surrounding the Sanctum Sanctorum and to suppress Wanda herself, whose very flesh was enchanted to a comparable degree. History: The Skull of Necrom is an extremely dangerous mystical artifact gifted to Agatha Harkness by the Vishanti after the Scarlet Witch openly defied them and claimed the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme for herself. Chosen as their true champion, Harkness wielded the Skull to oppose Wanda. ============================================================ Slaughter Room Kind: item Page: Slaughter Room Formal name: Slaughter Room Other aliases: Extermination Chamber Type: Technology First appearance: Man-Thing Vol 1 2 Created by: Steve Gerber; Val Mayerik Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Professor Slaughter Previous owners: F.A. Schist, Professor Slaughter History: The Slaughter Room, also called the Extermination Chamber, was a lethal trap engineered by Professor Hargood Wickham, known publicly as Professor Slaughter, while associated with M.I.T. Designed as an advanced extermination system, the chamber utilized specialized devices called amplimodes that absorbed electrical energy, multiplied its amperage, and discharged devastating blasts of power. Reflective surfaces lining the room redirected the energy into a deadly crisscrossing grid intended to incinerate anything trapped inside.; The chamber was later used in an attempt to destroy the Man-Thing. Although the trap initially appeared effective, the creature managed to survive by using a chain it was holding to smash the amplimodes before the electrical system could finish destroying it. ============================================================ Somber Steel Kind: item Page: Somber Steel Formal name: Somber Steel Type: Material First appearance: Uncanny X-Men Vol 6 1 Created by: Gail Simone; David Marquez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: The Hag Material: Somber Steel Properties: Somber Steel is a distinct purgatorial alloy fashioned of the ruinous utensils of killers and brutalizers harvested from various ethereal planes which Sarah Gaunt had returned from. She likened that said element sang with the woeful aria of victims who'd long since expired at their hands, stating it was a supernatural counter to Wolverine's Adamantium, being durable enough to resist repeated strikes from the latter's claws as well as draw blood from the physically impervious Anna Marie at the knife edge of her nails. History: A chthonian element polished from the cutting, stabbing, and goring filaments belonging to infamous murderers who've lived and died throughout history. The oddly named Somber Steel posits as an infernal material with potentially hellish background as indicated by The Hag. She would implement it through her enlaced claws to an incredibly lethal degree, nearly killing both Logan and Rogue when she came upon them in their abode near her stalking grounds. ============================================================ Sonic Blaster Kind: item Page: Sonic Blaster Formal name: Sonic Blaster Other aliases: Sound Converter Type: Sonic Weapon First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 258 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Tom DeFalco Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Mister Fantastic Place of creation: Baxter Building Current owner: Fantastic Four Properties: As Its namesake implies, the blaster can generate concentrated sonic attacks.

Luckily, Magik carries one.; Madelyne Pryor's Scythe of Sorrows is the same sort of weapon as the Soulsword, manifesting her power and emotions into a demonic weapon that serves as her regalia as the Queen of Limbo. History: The Soulsword was created by Illyana Rasputina during the period in which she was trapped in a Limbo dimension ruled by Belasco. Illyana magically caused her own life force energy to manifest before her. Once this happened she cast her hand into the eldritch energy and drew from it the Soulsword. A simple-looking blade upon its origin, it began to develop intricate designs and forms upon itself the more Illyana used it, becoming more powerful with each use.; Although usable as a physical weapon, its main use is to disrupt magical spells and beings, usually permanently. It was accompanied by armor covering Magik's left shoulder, chest, and arm. Control of the Soulsword seems to guarantee mastery over Limbo, as demonstrated when the sword was claimed by Darkoth, but its full power could only be accessed by Magik. After a temporal variant of Darkoth slew Bedlam, the sword was left abandoned when Darkoth was taken over by a symbiote. When Magik reverted to six years old, the sword transferred to her best friend Shadowcat.; At first the sword was stuck in a stone outside Excalibur's lighthouse, but after Doctor Doom tried to use it and Kitty to take over Limbo, it somehow incorporated itself within Shadowcat. Months later, the evil magician Darkmoor possessed Shadowcat and tried to make her turn over the sword. Eventually he possessed Nightcrawler, to attack Kitty from the outside, but he was defeated.; Amanda Sefton then convinced Kitty to give her the Soulsword, which she then turned over to her mother Margali Szardos. Margali, mad for power, used the sword to kill all of the magicians ahead of her on the Winding Way. She then gave herself a new body and joined the London Branch of the Hellfire Club. However, when Margali tried to tap into the demon under London, she was overwhelmed, and when Excalibur severed her from the interface, she and the Soulsword were captured by Belasco, Magik's mentor and ruler of Limbo.; Belasco also planned to use the Soulsword to gain power, but was eventually defeated by Margali, Amanda, and Nightcrawler. The Soulsword, which had been knocked off Belasco's tower during the battle, broke through the surface of Limbo in an armor-coated hand, perhaps signifying Magik's return. Jimaine later revealed she had been given a vision of the sword by Margali years ago.; In Jimaine's hands, the Soulsword's shape changed a little, and the more experienced sorceress increased its functions to include drawing spells and stepping disks in the air. She secretly sent the Soulsword to Nightcrawler, integrating it with him, to keep it out of danger in Limbo. The sword's presence attracted all manner of supernatural entities to Kurt, placing him and his friends in grave danger until Jimaine finally revealed its presence to him. Later, Mephisto tried to bribe Kurt into keeping the Soulsword out of the impending War Between Good and Evil, but Kurt refused. The Sword remained bonded to Nightcrawler.; In the events of X-Infernus Vol 1, the Sword returned to its creator, Magik. Under the thrall of the darkness in her soul due to a previous adventure in Limbo, Pixie stabbed Nightcrawler in the chest with her Souldagger. Upon withdrawing it, she found the Soulsword stuck to the tip of the dagger. However, Illyana promptly teleports from Limbo once she senses its return. She then combats and defeated the X-Men: Beast, Rockslide, Mercury, and Pixie (who wielded the Soulsword to fight her). Reclaiming The Soulsword, she reverts back to her human form.; After the Phoenix Force left Illyana her Soulsword also changed, now looking more like the Blade of the Phoenix and additionally now has the ability to be used as a powerful weapon that can harm and kill as well as deflect attacks. ============================================================ Soul Stone Kind: item Page: Soul Stone Formal name: Soul Stone Other aliases: Great Jewel of the Multiverse; Soul Gem; Soul-Jewel Type: Infinity Stone First appearance: Marvel Premiere Vol 1 1 Created by: Roy Thomas; Gil Kane Reality: Earth-616 Origin: One of the Infinity Gems Current owner: Earth-616: Multitude Earth-199999: None Model: Unique Notes: The Soul Gem went unnamed since its first appearance until Warlock Vol 1 3, where it was referred to as the "Soul-Jewel." It became known as the "Soul-Gem" in Strange Tales Vol 1 178. Trivia: The Soul Gem is the only one of the Infinity Stones in the Eighth Cosmos to have been cut from the raw stone into a gem. History: One of six Infinity Gems that grant its user control over reality. According to the most commonly accepted origin story the six gems were once part of an all-powerful being who committed suicide out of loneliness. Its power survived and manifested as six gems.; The Soul Gem was in the possession of the High Evolutionary when he oversaw the rebirth of Adam Warlock. He gifted the gem to Warlock to aid him in his mission to save the world of Counter-Earth. During that time, Warlock primarily used the gem's powers to restore evil New Men to their pre-evolved animal forms.; After leaving Counter-Earth, Warlock started to become more aware of the Soul Gem's hidden dark side. He found it difficult to control its tendency to steal the souls of others. He soon found a way to communicate with the gem's consciousness and learned that it was "one of six". Shortly afterwards, Thanos had gathered the other five and siphoned off the power from Warlock's sixth to create a giant, synthetic Soul Gem. After defeating Thanos and destroying the large gem, Warlock had his own soul absorbed into his Soul Gem by his time-travelling past self, where he lived peacefully within the inner world of the Gem along with his friends Pip, Gamora, and the gem's other stolen souls.; The Soul Gem was left atop Warlock's grave, where it was picked up by the Gardener to replace the gem he earlier discarded. The Gardener went to the subatomic world of K'ai to create a new garden on the devastated planet and refused to let any of its doomed people access it. This brought him into conflict with the visiting Hulk, who snatched the gem and threw it through the ground into the planet's core, where it revitalized life on the surface.; Gardener somehow retrieved the Gem from K'ai's core without affecting life on the world's surface and later joined up with a conclave of other Elders of the Universe in a plot to use the Gems to further their ambitions. While the other Elders worked towards gathering the rest of the Gems, Gardener's connection to plant life enhanced by the Soul Gem was instrumental in detecting and entrapping Mantis and Shalla-Bal for use as hostages against the Silver Surfer, who opposed them and held the final Gem. The Elders' gambit was ultimately successful in gathering all six Gems. They connected them into a space platform aligned with a star system with six desolate planets the Gems could resonate with, setting up a trap for Galactus. Their apparatus would steal planetary energies from Galactus, channeling them into the planets, thus killing Galactus and subsequently Eternity due to the loss of balance that Galactus maintained. The universe would end and be reborn, with only the Elders surviving due to their earlier victory over Death and as such be true Elders of the new universe as Galactus had been in theirs. Though the Elders successfully trapped Galactus, they failed to handle interference from his heralds. While the Silver Surfer blocked the ray from the Gem apparatus, Nova detonated the star at the center of the system, creating a black hole that consumed the Gems and some of the Elders, saving Galactus.; The Elders joined with the In-Betweener in a further scheme to kill Galactus, retrieving the Gems from the black hole. In-Betweener took the Soul Gem, joining with the possessive sentience it contained. Galactus recruited the Silver Surfer, Reed, and Sue Richards to help him by retrieving the Gems, particularly the one Gem with the power to harvest souls, which he needed to remove the Elders he had earlier consumed that were poisoning him. They flew into the black hole and emerged in the realm of Lord Chaos and Master Order, entities whose personalities began to affect Sue and Reed respectively. Sue's Malice persona emerged, making her into a threat that stole the Gems for herself, and in the process of getting them back from her, the In-Betweener possessed Reed via the Soul Gem. The In-Betweener then revealed himself and the Elders in their plot to kill Galactus, leading to an all-out confrontation in Order/Chaos' realm. Master Order and Lord Chaos ultimately got involved to break up the fight and redistributed the Gems among the In-Betweener and the Elders afterwards, with the one that would soon be revealed as the true Soul Gem left with the In-Betweener imprisoned in their realm.; ===Infinity Gauntlet===; Thanos learned of the Gems' true nature as Infinity Gems from the Infinity Well and set out to gather them once more in a quest to become a god worthy of being Death's consort. He first went to Chaos and Order's prison at the Nexus of Reality and tricked the In-Betweener into believing he was there to free him. After combining their powers to break open the cosmic bubble that caged the In-Betweener, Thanos betrayed him once he was out in an environment where his powers were nullified, taking his Soul Gem and abandoning him to Chaos and Order's mercies. He remarked that the green Gem, once belonging to Adam Warlock, was the only one of the six truly attributed to the power of the soul.; When Thanos assembled all six Gems into his Infinity Gauntlet, he had the power and knowledge to achieve anything he desired, except he found he still didn't know what it would take for Death to return his affection. While contemplating his next move, he was confronted by the Silver Surfer and a reborn Drax the Destroyer, who were unprepared for how powerful he had become. Thanos dispatched them simply by absorbing them into the Soul Gem. Inside the world of the Soul Gem, they met with Adam Warlock and the other souls held within and with Warlock's help, Drax and the Surfer were able to escape back into reality. Warlock also used his connection to the Soul Gem to reincarnate himself, Gamora, and Pip into the bodies of recently dead humans so they could join the fight against Thanos in the land of the living. By then, Thanos had moved on to use the Gems to create a great shrine to Death and fulfill his promise to her to kill half the population of the universe, removing them from existence with a snap of his fingers. No matter what he did, Death continued to regard him with silent disdain. He became increasingly unstable in his frustration and when a coalition of surviving heroes came to confront him, he was compelled to attempt to entertain Death by limiting his own abilities and giving his enemies a minute chance of victory. He swore off the use of all the Gems except Power in the ensuing battle, though he defeated many of his opponents through manipulations of time, space, and reality regardless. After neutralizing them all, Thanos reclaimed full control of the Gems just in time to face an alliance of Cosmic Beings. When Death stood with the other Abstracts against him, Thanos lost his last vestige of patience and subdued them all, imprisoning them in an energy field. Upon defeating Eternity, he took their place as an abstract being one with the universe. This meant abandoning his physical body, which was still wearing the Gauntlet. Nebula, who up to that point was a helpless bystander being tortured by her grandfather for his amusement, seized the opportunity and stole the Gauntlet. She quickly used the Gauntlet to reset the timeline by 24 hours, more so to spite Thanos' accomplishments than to set things right. She lacked the experience or understanding to make full effective use of the Gems while Warlock had formed more of a connection through his time within the Soul Gem. He was able to hide from her senses while the allies he recruited faced her directly, and when the Silver Surfer was at risk, Warlock took himself and the Surfer's soul back into Soulworld to regroup. From there, Warlock was able to become one with Soulworld and influence the other Gems, separating Nebula from the Gauntlet to claim it for himself. Pledging to be a more worthy supreme being, Warlock ended the conflict and sent everyone on their way.; ===Infinity Watch===; Warlock did not hold the Infinity Gauntlet for long before Eternity brought his case to the Living Tribunal that the young god was no more suited to hold omnipotence than Thanos. The Tribunal ruled that Warlock disperse the Gems so that no individual could misuse their combined might. Warlock decided to split the Gems among friends and allies he knew would not or could not abuse their potential. While he relinquished the other five, he saved the Soul Gem for himself as he had forged too strong a connection with it over the years to trust it with anyone else.; He then joined with Gamora, Pip, Drax, and Moondragon, his chosen holders of the Time, Space, Power, and Mind Gems, to form a team known as the Infinity Watch. Warlock led the team, skillfully employing his Gem's abilities in and out of battle, defeating opponents with its Karmic Blast and uncovering truths through its empathic powers.; When the Magus returned with a threat to collide the universe with his doppelganger dimension, Warlock devised a plan to defeat Magus by appearing to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet while Galactus took Gamora to meet with Eternity and the Living Tribunal to reverse the ruling on using the Gems in unison. Magus stole the Gauntlet to achieve godhood just as the ruling was reversed, but he didn't realize the Reality Gem included was a fake. Without it, Magus was vulnerable to Warlock's counterattack, who wrested the supreme power with the assistance of Eternity and Infinity who represented the reality Magus lacked control over. Warlock trapped Magus in Soulworld, but since Magus wasn't a complete soul by himself, he found he was invisible and intangible to the world's other inhabitants, leaving him to suffer in helpless solitude. The other Infinity Gems were returned to the Infinity Watch and the ban on the Gems' combination was reinstated.; Warlock's other counterpart, the Goddess then appeared using an egg-shaped conglomeration of Cosmic Containment Units to bring about universal peace by driving the self-destruction of sentient life. Warlock devised an intricate plan to defeat the Goddess using the Soul Gem which would act largely autonomously according to his will. First, he gave the Soul Gem to Thanos just before it absorbed Warlock's own soul while mentally making Thanos aware of the plan. During his visit to Soulworld, Warlock was able to confront Magus in attempt to force his evil half to join with him, but Magus refused to help even under threat of annihilation. Warlock instead beat Magus into submission and left confident that he had the ability to confront his other shade alone. On Warlock's signal, Thanos then used the Soul Gem to send Warlock's essence into the Goddess' subconscious. From there, Warlock was able to influence the Goddess' apocalyptic wish on the Cosmic Egg, making the widespread destruction occur only in illusion. When the Goddess became aware of the deception, she fought Warlock's soul with her own. With the help of a psychic distraction, Warlock managed to wrest complete control of the Cosmic Egg, leaving Goddess vulnerable to the Soul Gem's ability to absorb her. She ended up in Soulworld in the same state as Magus, and while the two of them found that they could at least see each other, they still couldn't touch. The Soul Gem's preprogrammed actions then wrapped up by returning Warlock's soul to his body and returning itself to him.; Despite the Living Tribunal's ruling preventing the Infinity Gems' working in concert, it was apparently still possible for individual Gem holders to combine the effects of a subset to accomplish particular tasks. Notably, Drax, Warlock, and Moondragon combined the Power, Soul, and Mind Gems to enhance a psychic probe to surpass the memory blocks in Maxam's subconscious.; Count Abyss, the all-powerful ruler of another dimension coveted the Soul Gem to grant him the one thing he lacked -- a soul. He was unable to use his powers outside his own universe, but he put a plan in motion to draw the Infinity Watch into his domain where he could overpower them easily. Abyss took the Soul Gem and drunkenly basked in its abundance of souls without actually fully possessing any of them, his actions having disastrous effects on the otherwise peaceful Soulworld. Warlock took advantage of Abyss' distracted state to get the Gem back and then used it to give the dark ruler what he thought he wanted, possession of one of the souls of Soulworld, Kray-Tor. The soul made Abyss torturously aware of his own atrocities for the first time and also left him unable to access his unlimited powers since it was his own soul he sold in the first place to earn them. Unable to defend himself, Abyss was exiled to another universe just as Warlock took Kray-Tor's soul back. Though the battle was won, Kray-Tor was left traumatized by the experience and the paradise of Soulworld was a little less blissful.; Strange attacked the Infinity Watch in an attempt to steal the Infinity Gems and succeeded in taking the other four, but Warlock used the Soul Gem's light of truth to stop him just before he could take his. The sorcerer's shade gave up and returned the Gems upon realizing they couldn't work together. Shortly after that, Warlock briefly housed the displaced spirit of Firelord in Soulworld while the Watch set out to retrieve his body's stolen life force.; At a time when the Infinity Watch was facing internal turmoil over Moondragon's injuries, Gamora's departure, Maxam's betrayal, and their island base's destruction by tropical storm, all the Infinity Gems suddenly vanished from the universe without explanation. The team broke up, but Warlock was determined to find where the Gems had gone.; ===Ultraverse===; While details are inconsistent, the cause of the Gems' disappearance was Rune of the Ultraverse, who had just been accidentally transported to Earth-616 and quickly became obsessed with the Infinity Gems upon sensing their power. He somehow first stole the Time Gem and used it to freeze time, then proceeded to take the other five Gems from their owners in the space between instants. When attempting to take the Soul Gem, Rune was drawn into Soulworld where Warlock's soul could confront him despite the stopped time outside. Warlock's efforts to defend his hold over the Soul Gem were crushed by the betrayal of the Soul Gem itself, which identified Rune as one it had been waiting for due to his vampiric nature. The Soul Gem abandoned Warlock's forehead for Rune's and its will quickly began to take over. The Living Tribunal, unaffected by time manipulation and sensing the imminent violation of his decree against the union of the Gems, brought the Silver Surfer into the frozen time and charged him with preventing it at all costs. The Surfer soon found Rune being directed by the Soul Gem to open a rift to his home dimension. At that point, the Surfer attacked Rune, with a blast of the Power Cosmic to his hand dispersing the five Gems on it into the vortex, causing them and Rune to scatter throughout the Ultraverse and restarting the normal flow of time in Earth-616.; Rune landed back on his own Earth with the Soul Gem still bonded to him. He soon realized the Gem was bypassing his vampiric abilities, taking all the energy from his feedings for itself. The Gem demanded that its host submit to it in exchange for life energy, but the prideful Rune refused to comply. He began to waste away until he found an opportunity to trick his adversary, Gemini into believing the Gem was actually beneficial to him. When Gemini ripped the Soul Gem from Rune, it bonded to him instead and Rune was able to recover. Planning to reacquire the other five Gems, Rune intended to control the Soul Gem through Gemini, believing the weaker vampire would become a compliant husk under its influence. Gemini's two halves, Noel and Erik, found themselves face-to-face in Soulworld, which had been transformed into a nightmarish environment to psychologically torture them. The Soul Gem agitated the more aggressive Erik until he lashed out and seemingly killed Noel, then turned the outward form of the now fully Erik Gemini against its previous host. To Rune's disbelief, the Gem-empowered Gemini quickly overpowered him, nearly killing him. The Gem wanted Gemini to finish Rune off by feeding on him to absorb his power, but at the last moment Gemini regained enough control to instead throw Rune through a portal to the Negative Zone. With Noel's persona recovered, he was able to reject the Soul Gem's influence entirely, throwing it into the sea. The Gem did no sink very far before it was recovered by Loki, who had detected the Gems' arrival in the Ultraverse and was collecting them for himself.; Loki collected all six Gems but didn't have a clear goal in mind for how to use them. He wanted to eventually return to his home universe to exact revenge on his enemies, but bided his time in his adopted throne room in Vahdala while occasionally using his absolute power to commit minor acts of mischief on Earth. Meanwhile, a seventh Infinity Gem residing in the Ultraverse had also sensed the others' presence and sought to reunite with them. Possessing Sersi, another refugee from its home universe, the Ego Gem got close enough to Loki to connect with the other six, merging into a being called Nemesis, who attempted to use her creative forces to remake the two universes. Even the seven Gems together did not make a cohesive whole, however, and the Ego Gem's consciousness found itself at odds with some of the voices of the other Gems. This weakness allowed heroes of the two universes to fight back against her, and ultimately Black Knight struck a decisive blow on her crown where the Gems were stored, destroying the Ego Gem and scattering the other six in an explosion of creative force that would send everyone back where they belonged while restructuring the Ultraverse from the ground up.; The remains of the Ego Gem's essence was split among the Power, Soul, Mind, and Space Gems, allowing them each to take on autonomous living forms that shared Nemesis' malicious intents. The Time and Reality Gems, whose individual consciousnesses rebelled against the others in the interest of preserving the fabric of existence, remained in their original forms and found other hosts in the reforming Ultraverse to mitigate the chaos in Nemesis' wake. The Soul Gem's living form appeared as a spirit cloaked in green flames. Its exploits in this form before turning up in its original Gem form again in Earth-616 are unknown.; ===Reunited with Warlock===; Warlock's quest to recover the Gem was eventually successful, though as soon as he resurfaced with it once more bonded to his forehead, he was already bemoaning its curse. Besides its untameable vampiric powers, it was also making Warlock prone to uncharacteristic emotional outbursts that he found unpleasant, and it seemed as if he couldn't separate from the Gem through known means. When a villain called Syphonn succeeded in tearing the Gem away, Warlock encouraged him to use it, knowing that it would backfire and the overconfident novice would lose his own soul to the treacherous Gem's power. Warlock then voluntarily took the Gem back, realizing he was the only one that could deal with it safely.; ===JLA/Avengers===; When the activities of the cosmically powerful Krona caused the Marvel and DC universes to begin bleeding into each other, the Grandmaster manipulated heroes from each world into collecting objects of power, including the Infinity Gems, ostensibly for the purpose of averting the coming disaster. The Gems turned up on Apokolips, assembled by Darkseid into the Infinity Gauntlet, but when he realized the device was powerless outside its home reality, he discarded it, allowing the JLA to collect it for their side. When all the objects of power were assembled, Grandmaster combined their energies to forcibly bind the universes together in a failing attempt to neutralize Krona. The Grandmaster died and the objects fell into Krona's control, who attempted to make the two universes destroy each other to accomplish his goal of witnessing the birth of the next reality. The heroes of both worlds joined forces to stop Krona, destroying the containment device for the objects of power, allowing the universes to reorder themselves. The Infinity Gems were thus returned to their home universe along with everything else. The Soul Gem again landed with Warlock.; ===Galactus & Hunger===; Galactus was the next to assemble the Gems, having come to believe they could provide him with an alternate form of sustenance. Rather than freeing him from his hunger, he was actually freeing Hunger, a reality-devouring entity that was subconsciously manipulating him into opening a passage to his universe. After gathering the other five, Galactus sent a swarm of Punishers to attack Warlock to tear the Soul Gem from his forehead, completing the set. Galactus affixed them to a focusing crux connected to his ship, opening the way for Hunger. Realizing his mistake, Galactus attempted to fight Hunger, but it was ultimately the efforts of Thanos and his ally, Pip, that cut Hunger off by destroying the ship, separating the Soul Gem from the focusing crux, and crushing them beneath the weaponized planet Rigel-3. With the other Gems scattered again by the blast, Thanos returned the Soul Gem to Warlock as a show of goodwill.; ===Illuminati===; After She-Hulk gave the recovered Power Gem to Reed Richards for safekeeping, he considered the continual threat of the Gems, and so he assembled the Illuminati to discuss gathering the rest for security. While it wasn't revealed how he acquired the Soul Gem (last seen with Warlock), the timing of his quest may have coincided with Warlock's distress caused by the cacophony of souls in the wake of the Annihilation Wave. Warlock had seemingly already parted with the Gem just prior to forming his cocoon following the end of the war. He may have voluntarily discarded it in attempt to avoid being driven mad by the cries of lost souls, possibly even relinquishing it to Richards directly. In any case, Reed used it along with the Power and Space Gems to locate the rest. With the completed Infinity Gauntlet, Reed attempted to will it out of existence but nothing happened. He then offered it to the Watcher who had arrived to warn him against his actions, but was refused. He then decided it was best to divide the Gems among the members of the Illuminati to hide, protect, and never use for themselves, though Uatu suggested this was no less irresponsible in the long run. The Soul Gem was entrusted to Doctor Strange.; Strange hid the Gem in the Astral Plane. Parker Robbins, who had managed to secure the Reality, Space, and Mind Gems at the time, was using their connected nature to locate the others. The Illuminati and Avengers were aware of his thefts and were in the process of splitting up to secure the remaining Gems before he could. Strange got to the Soul Gem first and used an illusion spell to disguise himself as Thanos, so when the Hood arrived he could attempt to convince him to give up. Thanks to the Mind Gem's telepathic abilities, the Hood wasn't fooled, but was distracted long enough that Strange could return them to the corporeal plane where the other Avengers could get the drop on him and separate him from his Gems. The Soul Gem was passed to Iron Man, who used the completed Infinity Gauntlet to return the Hood to prison and then make it appear to the assembled Avengers that he removed the Gems from existence. Instead, he actually hid them until the Illuminati, now with Steve Rogers on their side, could convene to redistribute the Gems for better safekeeping. Doctor Strange remained in charge of the Soul Gem.; After this, Strange hid the Soul Gem in a pocket reality made from the pure white light of one billion prayers, located beyond the Chaos Realm of Shuma-Gorath. It was subsequently retrieved in the Illuminati's attempt to use the Infinity Gauntlet to push away another universe's Earth that was colliding with Earth-616 due to an incursion. Although they were successful, the Soul Gem and all the other stones minus the Time Gem shattered.; ===Infinity Wars===; Following the destruction of the entire Multiverse and its eventual restoration, the destroyed Infinity Gems were recreated and scattered across the universe. The Soul Gem (now colored orange) was found on Ego the Living Planet by Magus after he cleaved the Comtemplator's head off his body and made him reveal the gem's location. The Comtemplator, however, had taken the precaution of letting others know where the Soul Gem was, and consequently caused the Magus' death at the hands of Ultron. Unbeknownst to Ultron, a fragment of his soul believing itself to be Pym became trapped within the Soul Gem's pocket-dimension when he took hold of it, and there he was greeted by a fragment of Gamora's soul, who had been contacting her "complete" self in the hopes of being freed from the Soul World. That soul fragment was ultimately devoured by Devondra.; Ultron used the combined power of the gem and the Ultron Virus to transform the planet of Saiph to his image, and set his sights on infecting the entire galaxy. His plan was thwarted by Adam Warlock, the Silver Surfer and Galactus. As Galactus destroyed Saiph, Ultron attempted to escape, but Adam severed their hand and took the gem. With the gem in his possession, Warlock discovered that Soul World was being progressively corrupted by mysterious force.; Warlock attended a parley convened by Doctor Strange to form a new Infinity Watch, but the meeting was disrupted by the arrival of Gamora. She had already claimed the Power Stone as part of her plan to collect all Infinity Stones and reunite with a part of herself trapped within the Soul Gem. During the subsequent battle, Gamora used her sword to decapitate Warlock and take the Soul Gem. Gamora opened a portal into Soulworld and reunited with the portion of herself that was trapped inside, becoming whole again. Having obtained all the Infinity Stones, Gamora set out to rebalance the Soul Gem.; Gamora folded the universe in half and merged the two halves together, sending the new universe into a pocket dimension called Warp World inside the Soul Gem so the merged souls would become prey to the monstrous Devondra that was responsible for the Soul Gem's hunger for souls. While waiting for Warp World's destruction, Gamora traveled to the God Quarry to investigate what laid beneath it. Inside Warp World, Loki rallied a group of heroes called the Cosmic Avengers to stop Gamora, and they escaped from the Soul Gem using copies of the Infinity Stones found within Warp World which Gamora had unwittingly brought into existence when she created Warp World. Loki argued that his multiple deaths and rebirths and the fact that he thrived in multiple realities earned him the replicate Soul Gem.; The Cosmic Avengers confronted Gamora and took the Power, Reality and Space Stones from her. Loki in turn took these stones for himself in addition to the copies of the Soul, Time and Mind Stones, thus assembling a complete set of Infinity Stones. He used the stones to send Gamora to Warp World before transporting himself to the unknown realm that existed beneath the Quarry of Creation, where he found a group of Celestials guarding a deposit of countless Infinity Stones.; Loki returned from beneath the Quarry of Creation, and used his Infinity Stones to render the surplus gems inert. He handed over his set to the Cosmic Avengers so they could repair the universe. After returning to Soul World and defeating Devondra, the Cosmic Avengers joined forces with Adam Warlock to restore the universe while keeping Warp World intact within the Soul Gem. Adam Warlock then used the Soul Gem to flee Soul World with the Cosmic Avengers and his allies while Drax the Destroyer sacrificed himself to keep the portal leading to the real universe open. After sending Gamora someplace to set her on a path of redemption, Adam Warlock decided to give the Infinity Stones sentience and let them decide their destinies in order to stop the conflicts over their power. Warlock expected the Soul Gem to remain by his side due to their shared history, but to his surprise, it left as well.; ===Secret Warps===; Due to Zeke Stane being the only soul on Warp World who wasn't merged, the Soul Stone began to fracture, until it was completely shattered, causing Warp World to folding in upon itself unleashing new warps between the inhabitants. The Hammer Supreme finally understood the cause and merged his hammer Mjolniron with Zeke. This amount of energy was able to repair the shattered Soul Stone, which then split everyone back into their original selves.; ==Properties==; The Soul Gem is sentient; it has a desire to collect souls. Somebody in possession of the Soul Gem can use it to attack another's soul in various ways: The gem can reveal information by peering into another's soul or using the 'Cold Light of Truth.' The gem can trap souls inside itself in an idyllic world named Soul World, also allowing its user to access the memories and skills of those imprisoned there. The gem's power can circulate life and death forces on a planetary scale, revert beings to their natural state, reanimate the dead, and give its user control over any and all life be it sentient or not. Additionally, the Soul Gem protects its wielder from soul-based attacks. The gem can disrupt the anima of a soul with a karmic blast rendering the target temporarily unconscious. Certain beings are immune to this attack.; Following the destruction and rebirth of the Infinity Stones, the artifacts formed a feedback circuit. Because of this, how much of the Soul Gem's potential somebody can tap depends on their mastery over reality, meaning that possession of the Reality Stone allows for a better use of the Soul Gem. In turn, possession of the Soul Gem allows for better control of the Mind Stone. The Soul Stone holds so much power that it can contain universes within itself, an entire Multiverse of worlds.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; ===Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (Earth-21178)===; Adam Warlock trapped his evil self, Magus, in the Soul Stone. The Guardians of the Galaxy came across it and accidentally freed Magus from it, but eventually with the help of Adam were able to trap him back in it.; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; In this reality, the Soul Stone resided on the planet Vormir for untold periods of time. Unlike its fellow Infinity Stones, the Soul Stone had a peculiar method of obtainment: it required the seeker to willingly sacrifice a loved one in order to harness its power.; During his attempt to use the powers of the Tesseract, the Red Skull was banished to Vormir by the Tesseract and cursed into being the Soul Stone's guardian for decades. When Thanos arrived with Gamora to retrieve the Soul Stone, the Red Skull explained the ritual to obtain it. Gamora scoffed at this claim because Thanos supposedly never loved anyone, but Thanos revealed that he loved her and tearfully threw her to her death into the abyss, earning the Soul Stone in the process.; When confronting the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy on Titan, Thanos used the Soul Stone to detect the real Doctor Strange among a sea of illusions. After gathering all of the Infinity Stones, Thanos used all six of them, the Soul Stone included, to obliterate half of the universe. This feat was so powerful it sent him into a dream-like reality induced by the Soul Stone, where he conversed with a mirage of a young Gamora about finishing his quest.; Three weeks later, Thanos used the power of the Infinity Stones to destroy them, the Soul Stone included.; ===2014 Cosmic Time Heist (Earth-TRN734)===; In this reality, the Soul Stone shared nearly the exact same history as in Earth-199999 up until 2014. During the Time Heist, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton of 2023 travelled to Vormir to retrieve the Soul Stone. There, they met the Red Skull, who explained that they had to sacrifice someone they love for the stone. After a brief scuffle, Romanoff sacrificed herself, causing Barton to obtain the Soul Stone before returning to Earth-199999. After the Avengers used the Infinity Stones to resurrect everyone slain by Thanos's snap and defeat the Thanos of the past, Steve Rogers returned the Soul Stone to Vormir. ============================================================ Space Stone Kind: item Page: Space Stone Formal name: Space Stone Other aliases: Space Gem Type: Infinity Stone First appearance: Avengers Annual Vol 1 7 Created by: Jim Starlin Reality: Earth-616 Origin: One of the Infinity Gems Current owner: Earth-616: Quantum Earth-199999: None Model: Unique Properties: The Space Stone allows its user to manipulate space anyway they see fit.; Teleportation: Its most basic powers allow one to teleport themselves and others any place they can picture in their mind, regardless of distance or preventive measures, such as walls or spells.; It can increase the speed of the user.; Gravity Manipulation; Black Hole Creation; Its more powerful abilities allow one to appear in multiple places at once or altering the distance between objects contrary to the laws of physics. At its peak, when used in conjunction with the other gems, it allows its user to be at all places in the universe at once simultaneously.; Following the destruction and rebirth of the Infinity Stones, the artifacts formed a feedback circuit. Because of this, how much of the Space Stone's potential somebody can tap into depends on their mastery over power, meaning that possession of the Power Stone allows for a better use of the Space Stone. In turn, possession of the Space Stone allows for better control of the Time Stone. History: One of six Infinity Gems that grant its user control over specific aspects of reality. According to the most commonly accepted origin story, the six gems were once part of an all-powerful being who committed suicide out of loneliness. Its power survived and manifested as six gems.; ===Soul Gems===; For a long time, knowledge of the true nature of the Gems was unknown and the six were known collectively as "Soul Gems", with much of their powers unrealized by their users. The ones that would eventually be identified as the Space Gem and the Reality Gem were being held on a prison satellite and by a powerful entity known as Xiambor when Thanos was in the process of collecting them for his own purposes, but it is unclear which was which. Thanos combined those Gems with three others and siphoned energies from the sixth to create a giant synthetic Gem with the intent of destroying the stars of the universe with its absolute power. The combined efforts of Warlock, Captain Marvel, and the Avengers thwarted Thanos' plan and destroyed the combined Gem.; For a time, the five combined Gems were thought to be destroyed, but a conclave of the Elders of the Universe eventually learned that they could not be truly destroyed in such a manner and that they were actually scattered across the universe. Having a plan to use the Gems to further their ambitions, the Elders set out to gather them together again. Of these, only the Mind Gem's circumstances were specified, having come into possession of the Kree. The Champion won one of the other Gems as the World Trophy of Grinx, the Collector collected one, and the Trader purchased the other two. It's unclear which of these was the Space Gem at the time. The Elders eventually succeeded in gathering all six Gems together and connected them into a space platform aligned with a star system with six desolate planets the Gems could resonate with, setting up a trap for Galactus. Their apparatus would steal planetary energies from Galactus, channeling them into the planets, thus killing Galactus and subsequently Eternity due to the loss of balance that Galactus maintained. The universe would end and be reborn, with only the Elders surviving due to their earlier victory over Death and as such be true Elders of the new universe as Galactus had been in theirs. Though the Elders successfully trapped Galactus, they failed to handle interference from his heralds. While the Silver Surfer blocked the ray from the Gem apparatus, Nova detonated the star at the center of the system, creating a black hole that consumed the Gems and some of the Elders, saving Galactus.; The Elders joined with the In-Betweener in a further scheme to kill Galactus, retrieving the Gems from the black hole, but they were thwarted again by the Silver Surfer. Lord Chaos and Master Order became involved and redistributed the Gems among the In-Betweener and the Elders afterwards, with the one that would soon be revealed as the Space Gem entrusted to the Runner.; ===Infinity Gauntlet===; Thanos learned of the Gems' true nature as Infinity Gems from the Infinity Well and set out to gather them once more in a quest to become a god worthy of being Death's consort. He was halfway through his mission when he was attacked by the Runner, as the Elders were by then aware of his moves. The Runner had been subconsciously tapping into the Space Gem's abilities to teleport to his every destination, a feat he interpreted as "running" at the speed of thought. At speeds faster than Thanos could react to, Runner quickly tore through the throne Thanos had been using to travel through space, but made the mistake of stopping to give the stranded Titan a chance to explain his ploy for the Gems. This gave Thanos the opportunity to trap Runner in the power of the Time Gem, aging him into a slow old man, and then de-aging him into a helpless infant. With the Space Gem claimed, Thanos was able to teleport wherever he wanted, eliminating the need for his space throne.; When Thanos assembled all six Gems into his Infinity Gauntlet, he had the power and knowledge to achieve anything he desired, except he found he still didn't know what it would take for Death to return his affection. He attempted various grand gestures, eventually creating a great shrine to Death and fulfilling his promise to her to kill half the population of the universe, removing them from existence with a snap of his fingers. No matter what he did, Death continued to regard him with silent disdain. He became increasingly unstable in his frustration and when a coalition of surviving heroes came to confront him, he was compelled to attempt to entertain Death by limiting his own abilities and giving his enemies a minute chance of victory. He swore off the use of all the Gems except Power in the ensuing battle, though he defeated many of his opponents through manipulations of time, space, and reality regardless. In particular, he opened a portal in the flight path of Thor's hammer, separating the weapon from its master for more than sixty seconds. After his inevitable victory, Thanos reclaimed full control of the Gems just in time to face an alliance of Cosmic Beings. When Death stood with the other Abstracts against him, Thanos lost his last vestige of patience and subdued them all, imprisoning them in an energy field. Upon defeating Eternity, he took their place as an abstract being one with the universe. This meant abandoning his physical body, which was still wearing the Gauntlet. Nebula, who up to that point was a helpless bystander being tortured by her grandfather for his amusement, seized the opportunity and stole the Gauntlet. She quickly used the Gauntlet to reset the timeline by 24 hours, more so to spite Thanos' accomplishments than to set things right. She lacked the experience or understanding to make full effective use of the Gems, so Adam Warlock, who had formed more of a connection to the Gems through his time within the Soul Gem, was able to hide from her and eventually separate her from the Gauntlet to claim it for himself. Pledging to be a more worthy supreme being, Warlock ended the conflict and sent everyone on their way.; ===Infinity Watch===; Warlock did not hold the Infinity Gauntlet for long before Eternity brought his case to the Living Tribunal that the young god was no more suited to hold omnipotence than Thanos. The Tribunal ruled that Warlock disperse the Gems so that no individual could misuse their combined might. Warlock decided to split the Gems among friends and allies he knew would not or could not abuse their potential. He offered the Space Gem to Pip the Troll, reasoning that the simple-minded rascal would only be able to make use of its basic teleportation abilities and would be too slippery to let it fall into the hands of anyone more dangerous. Pip kept the Gem between his toes.; Shortly after the Gems' distribution, the Man-Beast abducted Pip along with Moondragon, Gamora, and Drax, and trapped them in a machine to sap their Gems' power and create a vicious energy creature under his control called the Infinity Thrall. Warlock defeated the Man-Beast by causing the destruction of the machine, dispelling the Thrall and freeing the others. Afterwards, the five Gem-holders agreed to stick together as a team known as the Infinity Watch.; During this time, Pip's teleportation ability was integral as the team's primary travel method. As well as being able to go anywhere he could picture in his mind, he could also channel the thoughts of his passengers to travel to their chosen destination. He also demonstrated the ability to teleport the team to another dimension that Warlock had only seen in a vision or to a person whose location wasn't even known. While he usually preferred to leave the fighting to others, he would take advantage of his ability to get the drop on opponents by retrieving weapons, dropping heavy objects on them, or moving enemies into the line of fire of one another.; At one point Pip relinquished the Space Gem to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet as part of a scheme by Warlock to stop the Magus from making the universe collide with his doppelganger dimension. Ostensibly, Warlock would prepare to use the Gauntlet while Galactus took Gamora to meet with Eternity and the Living Tribunal to reverse the ruling on using the Gems in unison, but it instead turned out to be a trap to draw the Magus out of hiding. Magus stole the Infinity Gauntlet to achieve godhood just as the ruling was reversed, but he didn't realize the Reality Gem included was a fake. Without it, Magus was vulnerable to Warlock's counterattack, who wrested the supreme power with the assistance of Eternity and Infinity who represented the reality Magus lacked control over. With Magus and his threat vanquished, the Infinity Gems were returned to the Infinity Watch and the ban on the Gems' combination was reinstated.; When the Infinity Watch invaded the dimension of Count Abyss to challenge the omnipotent despot, Abyss was able to defeat the Watch mostly by mystically turning the power of the Gems against their owners. When Pip attempted to teleport away from Abyss, different parts of him started to appear in multiple places at once. While he ultimately reappeared in one piece, the experience of being dimensionally fractured left Pip incapcitated with shock for some time. Afterwards, Pip briefly lost the Gem once more when Strange attacked the team in an attempt to steal them all. The sorceror's shade gave up and returned the Gems upon realizing they couldn't work together.; At a time when the Infinity Watch was facing internal turmoil over Moondragon's injuries, Gamora's departure, Maxam's betrayal, and their island base's destruction by tropical storm, all the Infinity Gems suddenly vanished from the universe without explanation. With the loss of their powers and their home, the team broke up. Pip seemed to lose his powers at first, but it was soon revealed he retained the ability to teleport due to his time with the Space Gem.; ===Ultraverse===; While details are inconsistent, the cause of the Gems' disappearance was Rune of the Ultraverse, who had just been accidentally transported to Earth-616 and quickly became obsessed with the Infinity Gems upon sensing their power. He somehow first stole the Time Gem and used it to freeze time, then proceeded to take the other five Gems from their owners in the space between instants. The Living Tribunal, unaffected by time manipulation and sensing the imminent violation of his decree against the union of the Gems, brought the Silver Surfer into the frozen time and charged him with preventing it at all costs. The Surfer soon found Rune wearing the Soul Gem on his forehead and the other five arranged on his right-hand knuckles in a pattern similar to the Infinity Gauntlet. The Soul Gem's will was supplanting Rune's own and forcing him to open a rift to his home dimension. At that point, the Surfer attacked Rune, with a blast of the Power Cosmic to his hand dispersing the five Gems on it into the vortex, causing them and Rune to scatter throughout the Ultraverse and restarting the normal flow of time in Earth-616.; Loki, who had been earlier stranded in the Ultraverse, wanted to gain more power within it and scryed the presence of the Infinity Gems ripe for the taking. He first secured the Time Gem, then Mind, and then the other four in short order. Most had fallen to Earth, particularly in California, with one turning up in another realm of the Godwheel, but the Space Gem's circumstances before Loki acquired it were never specified. Loki didn't have a clear goal in mind for how to use the Gems once he had them. He wanted to eventually return to his home universe to exact revenge on his enemies, but bided his time in his adopted throne room in Vahdala while occasionally using his absolute power to commit minor acts of mischief on Earth. Meanwhile, a seventh Infinity Gem residing in the Ultraverse had also sensed the others' presence and sought to reunite with them. Possessing Sersi, another refugee from its home universe, the Ego Gem got close enough to Loki to connect with the other six, merging into a being called Nemesis, who attempted to use her creative forces to remake the two universes. Even the seven Gems together did not make a cohesive whole, however, and the Ego Gem's consciousness found itself at odds with some of the voices of the other Gems. This weakness allowed heroes of the two universes to fight back against her, and ultimately Black Knight struck a decisive blow on her crown where the Gems were stored, destroying the Ego Gem and scattering the other six in an explosion of creative force that would send everyone back where they belonged while restructuring the Ultraverse from the ground up.; The remains of the Ego Gem's essence was split among the Power, Soul, Mind, and Space Gems, allowing them each to take on autonomous living forms that shared Nemesis' malicious intents. The Time and Reality Gems, whose individual consciousnesses rebelled against the others in the interest of preserving the fabric of existence, remained in their original forms and found other hosts in the reforming Ultraverse to mitigate the chaos in Nemesis' wake. The Space Gem's living form appeared as a male humanoid silhouette with starry space visible inside it. Its exploits in this form before turning up in its original Gem form again in Earth-616 are unknown.; ===JLA/Avengers===; When the activities of the cosmically powerful Krona caused the Marvel and DC universes to begin bleeding into each other, the Grandmaster manipulated heroes from each world into collecting objects of power, including the Infinity Gems, ostensibly for the purpose of averting the coming disaster. The Gems turned up on Apokolips, assembled by Darkseid into the Infinity Gauntlet, but when he realized the device was powerless outside its home reality, he discarded it, allowing the JLA to collect it for their side. When all the objects of power were assembled, Grandmaster combined their energies to forcibly bind the universes together in a failing attempt to neutralize Krona. The Grandmaster died and the objects fell into Krona's control, who attempted to make the two universes destroy each other to accomplish his goal of witnessing the birth of the next reality. The heroes of both worlds joined forces to stop Krona, destroying the containment device for the objects of power, allowing the universes to reorder themselves. The Infinity Gems were thus returned to their home universe along with everything else. The Space Gem somehow ended up in a different universe again in the possession of a vampiric being implied to possibly be Rune or a variation of him.; ===Galactus & Hunger===; Galactus was the next to assemble the Gems, having come to believe they could provide him with an alternate form of sustenance. Rather than freeing him from his hunger, he was actually freeing Hunger, a reality-devouring entity that was subconsciously manipulating him into opening a passage to his universe. To acquire the Space Gem, Galactus initiated a supernova to open a rift in space from which he plucked the skeleton of the vampiric being with the Gem embedded in its sternum. Upon completing the set, Galactus affixed the Gems to a focusing crux connected to his ship, opening the way for Hunger. Realizing his mistake, Galactus attempted to fight Hunger, but it was ultimately the efforts of Thanos and his ally, Pip, that cut Hunger off by destroying the ship, separating the Soul Gem from the focusing crux, and crushing them beneath the weaponized planet Rigel-3. The other Gems were once again scattered across the cosmos by the blast.; ===Illuminati===; After She-Hulk gave the recovered Power Gem to Reed Richards for safekeeping, he considered the continual threat of the Gems, and so he assembled the Illuminati to discuss gathering the rest for security. Having already acquired Soul and Space through unrevealed means, he used the three Gems he had to locate the remainder. With the completed Infinity Gauntlet, Reed attempted to will it out of existence but nothing happened. He then offered it to the Watcher who had arrived to warn him against his actions, but was refused. He then decided it was best to divide the Gems among the members of the Illuminati to hide, protect, and never use for themselves, though Uatu suggested this was no less irresponsible in the long run. At the time, the Space Gem was seemingly entrusted to Black Bolt. Although when it appeared next, it had apparently been with Tony Stark instead.; Stark had secured the Gem in a vault hidden beneath Area 51, which he had purchased for his private use. He had several sophisticated scanners in place to verify the identities of anyone entering the facility, but these measures proved useless in repelling the Hood, who used the combined abilities of the Reality and Power Gems to find and infiltrate the vault, then escape with the Space Gem's teleportation. The Illuminati teamed up with the Avengers to attempt to prevent the Hood from acquiring all the Gems, but once he had the Space Gem's mobility, they had a difficult time pinning him down. Eventually, a distraction by Doctor Strange allowed the team to get the drop on him and separate him from the Gems, passing them to Iron Man, who used the completed Infinity Gauntlet to return the Hood to prison and then make it appear to the assembled Avengers that he removed the Gems from existence. Instead, he actually hid them until the Illuminati, now with Steve Rogers on their side, could convene to redistribute the Gems for better safekeeping. This time, Stark left with the Space Gem.; When the Illuminati attempted to use the Infinity Gauntlet to push away another universe that was colliding with Earth-616, the Space Gem shattered.; ===Infinity Wars===; Following the destruction of the entire Multiverse and its eventual restoration, the destroyed Infinity Gems were recreated and scattered across the universe. The Space Stone (now colored blue) appeared mysteriously in a S.H.I.E.L.D. storage facility, with a failed attempt from Loki's part to retrieve it resulting in the stone ending up in the hands of Logan. Ultron, who was also interested in obtaining the Infinity Stones, sent aliens infected by his Ultron Virus to retrieve the Space Stone from Logan, but he defeated them using the stone's power in addition to his claws. The Space Stone was eventually left under the Black Widow's care.; Since Black Widow could only use the stone to teleport within her line of sight, she couldn't teleport directly to New York, where she intended to seek Doctor Strange's help. Natasha started making small jumps, and when she reached London, she was targeted by Jamie Braddock. With Merlin's help, Natasha stopped him. Before parting ways, Merlin lent Natasha a portion of his power so she could teleport directly to Manhattan. Black Widow attempted to hand over the Space Stone to Doctor Strange, but he refused since he had the Time Stone in his possession, and he advised against keeping two stones together, which prompted Black Widow to hold onto it.; When Doctor Strange convened a meeting between the wielders of the Infinity Stones, Black Widow kept her distance since the parley was also attended by Turk Barrett and his supervillain henchmen. However, she used the Space Stone to jump at the scene after Gamora arrived to steal the Infinity Stones. After getting hold of the Time Stone, Gamora froze time to steal the Space Stone from Black Widow's hands. Gamora would end up claiming all Infinity Stones in the end.; Gamora folded the universe in half and merged the two halves together, sending the new universe into a pocket universe called Warp World inside the Soul Gem so the merged souls would become prey to the monstrous Devondra. While waiting for Warp World's destruction, Gamora traveled to the God Quarry to investigate what laid beneath it. Inside Warp World, Loki rallied a group of heroes called the Cosmic Avengers to stop Gamora, and they escaped from the Soul Gem using copies of the Infinity Stones found within Warp World which Gamora had unwittingly brought into existence when she created Warp World. Hulk was given the replicate Space Stone since his infinite power allowed him to tap into the Space Stone's full potential.; The Cosmic Avengers confronted Gamora and took the Power, Reality and Space Stones from her. Loki in turn took these stones for himself in addition to the copies of the Soul, Time and Mind Stones, thus assembling a complete set of Infinity Stones. He used the stones to send Gamora to Warp World before transporting himself to the unknown realm that existed beneath the Quarry of Creation, where he found a group of Celestials guarding a deposit of countless Infinity Stones.; Loki returned from beneath the Quarry of Creation, and used his Infinity Stones to render the surplus gems inert. He handed over his set to the Cosmic Avengers so they could repair the universe. After returning to Soul World and defeating Devondra, the Cosmic Avengers joined forces with Adam Warlock to restore the universe while keeping Warp World intact within the Soul Gem. Adam Warlock then used the Soul Gem to flee Soul World with the Cosmic Avengers and his allies while Drax the Destroyer sacrificed himself to keep the portal leading to the real universe open. After sending Gamora someplace to set her on a path of redemption, Adam Warlock decided to give the Infinity Stones sentience and let them decide their destinies in order to stop the conflicts over their power. The Space Stone bonded to a man who gained its space-manipulating abilities, and became known as Quantum. ============================================================ Sorcerer Armor (Earth-9810) Kind: item Page: Sorcerer Armor Formal name: Sorcerer Armor Type: Magical Armor First appearance: What If...?

Belasco summoned the students to Limbo in an attempt to find his former apprentice, Illyana Rasputina. Separated from New X-Men, the less battle experienced students attempted to fight off the demons attacking them until the were rescued by Darkchylde. Darkchylde offered her further assistance to defeat Belasco and help them escape from Limbo, but she required a weapon: a Soulsword. Because she had lost her own, she needed to create a new one: from Pixie's soul. Despite protests from her friends, Pixie reluctantly gave into Darkchylde's request. Only taking a portion of Pixie's soul yielded a smaller version of the original Soulsword, called the Souldagger. Afterwards, Darkchylde taught Pixie a teleportation spell so she and her friends could rescue the other students at Belasco's Castle. Once at the castle, Pixie stabbed Belasco with her Souldagger which weakened him enough for Darkchylde to seize control of Limbo.; Since the time of it first appearance, Pixie has shown the ability to summon the Souldagger at will.

Through the use of a modified version of a built-in Webware on its left forearm, the suit is capable of instantaneous hologram projection and transforming its appearance into other clothing, such as a business suit, if needed. It has multiple stealth modes, though only one has been seen so far.; Poison Antidotes: After multiple fights against Zodiac, Peter equipped himself with multiple spider-like antitoxins to counteract the effects of the Zodiac poison, and has used it on more than one occasion.; Emergency Beacon: This spider symbol can also activate the suit's emergency beacon, causing the back spinnerets located on the back of the armor to release emergency web-foam, which acts as a buffer in the event of falling at terminal velocity.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; In Earth-41940, Spider-Man built the Spider-Armor MK IV using S.H.I.E.L.D. technology.; Spider-Man Unlimited; In Earth-71986, the armor was destroyed by a brainwashed Deadpool when he killed Peter Parker.

If read from its pages in the right conditions, including a certain proximity from Chthon's resting place, it allowed Chthon to appear in the proximity of the caster, using one of his avatars (for example, his elemental host the Other).; In 1958, Chthon manipulated Gregor Russoff, who had posession of the Darkhold, so that he'd approach Wundagore Mountain, where Chthon's earthly essence was imprisoned, and unwittingly cast the Spell of Ascension. Russoff believed that Chthon would cure his lycanthropy once he'd arrived. Chthon's elemental host, the Other, rose from Wundagore and atacked its inhabitants, the High Evolutionary and the Knights of Wundagore.

History: The Spell of Binding, also called Ritual of Banishment, was a magical conjuration written in the Darkhold. When recited out loud, it could revert the effect of a recent summoning that had brought a demon (and even an Elder God) by binding it to a specific place, especially if the creature and the location had a previous link. The Spell had to be read from the grimorium in clear voice, in an unidentified language, and by a living person, albeit the reader may be possessed by an external force. As the demon was likely to not want this, the demon may attack the spellcaster and, if the spellcaster was unable to finish the recitation due to extreme pain or death, the spell would be rendered moot.; In 1958, the Elder God Chthon manipulated Gregor Russoff, who had posession of the Darkhold, so that he'd approach Wundagore Mountain, where Chthon's earthly essence was imprisoned, and cast the Spell of Ascension to release Chthon. Chthon's elemental host, the Other, rose from Wundagore and atacked its inhabitants, the High Evolutionary and the Knights of Wundagore.

The spell functions as a truth‑revealing enchantment: anyone harboring hidden motives, false allegiances, or deliberate deceit experiences an immediate and violent physical reaction, making concealment impossible. Those of honest purpose remain unaffected, allowing to verify trustworthiness in situations where conventional judgment may fail.; During the period in which the New Avengers operated underground following the Civil War, Doctor Strange invoked the Spell of Tartashi when Clint Barton—recently returned from the dead and no longer operating as Hawkeye—appeared at the Sanctum Sanctorum seeking the team. Luke Cage, suspicious of Barton’s intentions and wary of infiltration after months of manipulation and political pressure, refused to allow him to accompany them to Japan. To resolve the dispute, Strange proposed casting the Spell of Tartashi to determine whether Barton carried any deception or hidden agenda. He warned that anyone attempting to mislead the group would suffer an immediate seizure under the spell’s effects. Strange performed the incantation, and none of the assembled New Avengers—including Barton—showed any reaction. Satisfied that Barton’s intentions were genuine, Cage reluctantly agreed to let him join the mission under the mantle of Ronin. ============================================================ Spider-Wave Transmitter Kind: item Page: Spider-Wave Transmitter Formal name: Spider-Wave Transmitter Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 5 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: A hidden laboratory of Doctor Doom's somewhere in New York City Place of destruction: Likely the same laboratory where it was created Current owner: Doctor Doom Trivia: The book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 explains that this item was probably still operative in the hidden laboratory Doom used to create it. However, in Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 5, Doom destroyed this laboratory soon after meeting Spider-Man. History: After being defeated by the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom decided to try to ally with Spider-Man against them. To find Spider-Man, Doom intended to build a specific machine that broadcast impulses only Spider-Man would hear. Doom deduced that Spider-Man had spider-related sensory powers, thus a transmitter using the same wavelength of a living spider kept within a spherical fishbowl.; The transmitter sent only audio messages within a five-mile range, and only spiders and spider-related individuals could hear those. Those people, however, could track the impulse to its point of origin.; Doom built and used this device from a hidden laboratory somewhere in New York City, where he met with Spider-Man. Understanding that the interview may not be successful, Doom sent a robot doppelganger of himself to talk with Spider-Man while Doom himself remained hidden behind the curtains.; Doom destroyed the laboratory, apparently along with this item, soon after the meeting. ============================================================ Spider-Man's Utility Belt Kind: item Page: Spider-Man's Utility Belt Formal name: Spider-Man's Utility Belt Other aliases: Spidey Belt Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 2 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Peter Parker Current owner: Ben Reilly; Peter Parker Previous owners: Otto Octavius; Spidercide Alternate owners: Miles Morales (Earth-1048); Hobie Brown (Earth-14029); Bruce Banner (Earth-70105); Lord Spider (Earth-10113519) History: Upon first entering the superhero world, Peter needed extra webbing, as he could run through it pretty quickly.

Jonah Jameson to use it from a reflector in a Police Station in order to call Spider-Man if needed. During the reign of the Superior Spider-Man, Otto Octavius, Otto destroyed it, as it would help his enemies to know where to find him.; Clear; ==Alternate Realities==; Image; Description; Source; In Earth-1048, Spider-Man retired the Spider-Signal as the energy required to power it generated too much heat. Marvel's Spider-Man (video game); In Earth-6799, the Spider-Signal is a flashlight incorporated into Spider-Man's Web-Shooters. Spider-Man (1967 animated series); In Earth-7642, Spider-Man used his Spider-Signal when chasing The Joker. Joker called it a ripoff of the Bat-Signal. Spider-Man and Batman Vol 1 1; In Earth-8096, Spider-Man used the Spider-Signal in the sewers when helping Captain America find the Serpent Society. Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (animated series) Season 2 13; The Earth-8311 version of this item was called the Pig-Signal. It could be projected from different locations, including the state prison, so that Spider-Ham would know where to go. Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham Vol 1 17; In Earth-12041, the Spider-Signal appeared throughout the Spider-Cave in Boston. Another variant of the signal was incorporated into the Spider-Logo on Spider-Man's Suit as a flashlight.

Captain America: Civil War; In an Unknown Reality, the Spider-Signal was used to contact Spider-Woman.; Howard the Duck Vol 6 1 ============================================================ Spider-Finder Kind: item Page: Spider-Finder Formal name: Spider-Finder Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 5 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: A hidden laboratory of Doctor Doom's somewhere in New York City Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: Item name revealed in Machines of Doom Vol 1 1. History: Doctor Doom wanted to get revenge on Spider-Man, who had rejected his alliance offer. Wanting to find Spider-Man, Doom built the Spider-Finder, a hand-held device receiving the impulses that spiders and spider-related beings gave off. That allowed Doom to scan the whole city, looking for the strongest impulses within the range, until he could find Spider-Man even if the latter was not wearing his disguise.; The device led Doom to the position of Spider-Man, in his civilian clothes as Peter Parker. In close vicinity, however, was Parker's classmate Eugene "Flash" Thompson, disguised as Spider-Man to play a prank on Parker. This led to Doom mistakenly believing that Thompson was the real Spider-Man. Doom easily kidnapped Thompson, releasing him only later when the Fantastic Four tracked him to his lair. Doom left the spider-finder in the lair, where it apparently remained for years. ============================================================ Spider-Tracer Kind: item Page: Spider-Tracer Formal name: Spider-Tracer Other aliases: Nano-Spider-Tracers Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 11 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Lead designer: Peter Parker Additional designers: Ben Reilly, Otto Octavius/"Peter Parker," Parker Industries Place of creation: Forest Hills, Queens, New York City, New York Current owner: Kaine Parker; Peter Parker; Ben Reilly Previous owners: Felicia Hardy; Hobie Brown; Mary Jane Watson; Miguel O'Hara; Otto Octavius / "Peter Parker" Alternate owners: Cindy Moon (Earth-42155) Notes: The original Spider-Tracers cost twenty bucks to create. Parker Industries's version cost $16.23 to manufacture.; They are sold for $49.99.; Deadpool's Deadpool Trackers were inspired by the Spider-Tracers. History: Peter Parker uses small electronic "Spider-Tracers" of his own design that allows him to track objects or individuals. Typically, Spider-Man plants one on a departing enemy, or throws one to adhere to an escaping enemy, and then follows the target to their hideout for a later attack. Spider-Man sometimes also uses a launching device in his web-shooters for better range and accuracy.; A tracer's outer casing is shaped like a spider, with legs for aerodynamic flight. The tracers are small enough to remain unnoticed, in general, but sometimes a target finds a tracer and destroys it; Spider-Man uses a small electronic receiver to follow the signals of his tracers, but eventually, he modifies the tracers to emit a signal he can follow with his spider-sense so that he will be able to know whether or not he is in the proximity of the tracer. According to what he once said to Hank Pym (who noted that Peter may actually be smarter than him if he was able to design this at fifteen when Pym spent years developing similar technology for his helmet), he is able to sense the tracer within a 100-yard radius. The receiver, however, offers better range. Spider-Man is unable to sense a tracer that had been taken out of Manhattan at one point. The receiver, however, allows him to follow it to the town of Scarsdale, New York, some 20 miles (32 km) away. It is not yet established if the changes to his spider-sense documented in "The Other" storyline have affected Spider-Man's ability to sense the tracers.; It has been confirmed that Spider-Man can detect a Tracer even if it has been ingested by a person.; Besides Spider-Man, Daredevil can pick up the signal with his radar sense from the Spider-Tracers due to his heightened sense of hearing being able to hear the signal. Unlike Spider-Man, it is more difficult for Daredevil to follow the signal, as he must drown out all other sounds around him to maintain focus.; His enemies have used the tracers to lure him into a trap. Enemies with sufficient technical knowledge can reprogram the tracers into overloading his spider-sense, making it hard for him to tell the difference between real danger and the tracer. Or they just attune it to his sixth sense and they can simply put on a target of their own, just like Tracer did in "The Other".; His clone, Ben Reilly, can also pick up the signal from Peter's tracers. Ben also developed a modified version of the original tracer into a simpler 'Micro-Dot' form. Like Peter's, these devices can be fired from Ben's web-shooters and can adhere to most surfaces. They fly like miniature Frisbee. May Parker's spider-sense operates on a different frequency than her father's, requiring her to use the tracer device, as Peter's tracers do not trigger her spider sense.; Following her rescue from an obsessed kidnapper, Mary Jane Watson wears an amplified version of a spider-tracer in a necklace pendant. It carries a boosted signal so Spider-Man can follow it over a longer distance.; ===Revenge Of The Spider-Slayer===; The Spider-Tracers become useless since Spider-Man can no longer pick up their signal due to the loss of his spider-sense. However, in the "Road to Spider-Island" storyline, from working with Horizon Labs, Spider-Man made new and improved spider-tracers with listening devices, G.P.S., and camouflage. Some further modifications include using them as weapons with one example of combating Hydro-Man by freezing him solid with a cryogenic Spider-Tracer. This particular advancement is then applied toward a medical transplant delivery system.; ===Ends of the Earth===; When Doc Ock tried to use the Octavius Lens as a way to convince the world that he could save them, Spider-Man intercepted an international meeting between the world leaders and was able to identify that Chameleon was posing as Al Gore. When Doc Ock requested Chameleon to be unhanded, Spider-Man placed a Spider-Tracer on his back to track where he was going.; However, Doc Ock was able to discover the Spider-Tracer and gave the Chameleon and different set of coordinates. Spider-Man, along with the Avengers were able to track Chameleon's location. This lead to a confrontation between the Avengers and the Sinister Six.; ===Parker Industries===; Using his resources at Parker Industries, Peter Parker built an improved version of the Spider-Tracer. He made it available for commercial use, having the option of being linked to a Webware. The new spider-tracer featured a two-year battery life, was water-proof and was super durable.; Using it during a mission against the terrorist group known as Zodiac, Spider-Man along with The Prowler utilized the spider-tracer as a means of retrieving his personal Webware, which contained data not available to the public. ============================================================ Spider-Slayer Mark V Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer Mark V Formal name: Spider-Slayer Mark V Type: Robot First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 166 Created by: Len Wein; Ross Andru Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Marla Madison Place of creation: Empire State University, Manhattan, New York City, New York Place of destruction: Rockefeller Plaza, Manhattan, New York City, New York Previous owners: J.

History: This was the first Spider-Slayer robot created by Spencer Smythe. Smythe convinced J. Jonah Jameson to use it as the ultimate tool to capture and defeat Spider-Man and to hopefully reveal his true identity. It was built to track anything with spider DNA, and was armed with unbreakable coils that would overwhelm and restrict an opponent. It also had a two way audio/video monitor, displaying the image of whoever controlled it on the robot's "face".; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-12041; Spencer Smythe built the MK 1 Spider-Slayer to hunt Spider-Man, however it was soon destroyed which led Smythe to later send the MK 2 after him.; Ultimate Spider-Man Infinite Comic Vol 1 2 ============================================================ Spider-Slayer Mark II Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer Mark II Formal name: Spider-Slayer Mark II Type: Robot First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 58 Created by: Stan Lee; John Romita Sr. Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Spencer Smythe Place of creation: Spencer Smythe's secret laboratory Previous owners: J.

Much like its predecessor, this robot had a two way audio/video monitor which showed the face of whoever was controlling it on the robots "face". It also could track Spider-Man in much the same way the original could.; It was ultimately destroyed when Spider-Man lured it into a spider-exhibit, causing its spider-tracking devices to overload and the robot to explode. ============================================================ Spider-Man's Suit Kind: item Page: Spider-Man's Suit Formal name: Spider-Man's Suit Other aliases: Picotech Stealth Suit; Secret Weapon Number One; Spider-Fits; Spider Protector; The Spider Suit; Spider-Suit; Spidey-Suits; Webs Type: Suit First appearance: Amazing Fantasy Vol 1 15 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Originally made and designed by Peter Parker to be his wrestling costume Lead designer: Peter Parker Place of creation: Aunt May's House Current owner: Ben Reilly; Miles Morales; Norman Osborn; Peter Parker Previous owners: Hobie Brown; Kurt Wagner; Otto Octavius / "Peter Parker"; Spider-Man; Mary Jane Watson; Kevin Schumer Alternate owners: Hobie Brown (Earth-138); Gerry Drew (Earth-982); Mayday Parker (Earth-982); Max Borne (Earth-9500); Takuya Yamashiro (Earth-51778); Gabri O'Hara (Earth-17723) Notes: According to the book Spider-Man: The Ultimate Guide by Tom DeFalco, Peter had heard that his school's dance team were throwing out old bodysuits, sneaked into school after dark, found one that fit him, obtained a pair of two-way mirrors from the Drama Department's prop closet (for his mask lenses) and spent an hour silk-screening the web pattern onto the bodysuit in the art room. With this, he created his first Spider-Man costume. Trivia: Peter Parker finds Miles Morales' black and red costume cooler than his own.; Scorpion also liked Miles' suit more than Peter's.; Doctor Octopus' favorite of Peter Parker's suits was his black cloth suit, as he found it slimming. History: These are the suits worn by the web-slinging hero: Spider-Man.; Clear; ==Variations==; Image; Description; Source; Traditional Red and Blue Suit: This is the traditional suit that Spider-Man has used throughout his super hero career. It is made from a skin-tight fabric, most likely Spandex or something similar. The costume is mostly blue with red gloves, boots, mid-section, and mask. Peter designed a web pattern that covers the red portions of the suit, starting at the mask. The suit also has a black spider in the center of the chest and a larger red spider on the back, both of different designs. The mask has plastic lenses with a chrome covering that allow Peter to see out, without letting others see in. The lenses also protect Peter's eyes from dust particles and the glare of the sun while he is swinging through the city. In addition, the mask helps to conceal Peter's identity by muffling his voice, thus making it unrecognizable to others. He also wears a twin set of web shooters on his wrists under the gloves. A web cartridge belt is also worn under the suit, which has a spider-signal on the buckle. The suit also contains a special earpiece that protects Spider-Man from the effects of Hobgoblin's sonic attack. Spider-Man has recently updated the lenses of the suit to protect himself from Iguana's hypnotic stare. Amazing Fantasy Vol 1 15; Symbiote Suit: During the Secret Wars, Spider-Man's costume was torn during battle, and he was sent to a machine that would repair it. Unknown to Spider-Man, the machine was actually a prison that contained an alien symbiote, which copied Spider-Man's thoughts about the costume worn by Spider-Woman and created a duplicate of it with a spider logo derived from Knull's emblem.; Both during and after the Secret War, Spider-Man learned that the costume could respond to his thoughts, change its shape, and create a seemingly unlimited amount of organic webbing. However, after wearing the suit for some time, he began to feel unusually tired and consulted his friends, Reed Richards and Jonathan Storm. Richards said that the suit was actually an alien creature and that it was taking him web-swinging every night while he slept. Spider-Man then had Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch remove the costume using both a sound wave generator and fire, as its only weaknesses are loud sound waves and intense heat and locked it in a protective case. The suit eventually escaped and hung itself in Peter's closet, disguised as one of his red and blue costumes. Unfortunately, Peter grabbed the symbiote and it reattached itself to him, which forced Spider-Man to use the bells housed in Our Ladies of Saints church to remove the suit. Many issues later, the suit secretly found and bonded to Eddie Brock, who became Venom.; Spider-Man eventually acquired the Symbiotic Suit again in different occasions: when he and the X-Men investigated an attack at S.W.O.R.D. space station caused by symbiote-possessed Brood and he bonded with one of them and when a Poison Punisher forcibly bonded Spider-Man to another symbiote so he could be assimilated by the Hive. He also temporarily bonded with the Venom symbiote again to defeat the Red Goblin. At the start of the Venom War Spider-Man once again donned the Symbiote Suit; Mac Gargan also used the Symbiote Suit. He initially went by Venom when he bonded to the suit, but the two started going by Spider-Man when they were recruited into Norman Osborn's Avengers Initiative. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 252; Bombastic Bag-Man's Suit: Twice Spider-Man has been forced to abandon his usual costume. When he lost the symbiote costume, Spider-Man was forced to use an old Fantastic Four costume, with a paper bag mask and a "Kick me" sign on his back. He was then sent into action as "The Amazing Bag-Man". Another time without his suit, he was forced to go into action as "The Bombastic Bag-Man".; Later, Black Cat and Captain America decided to train Peter, who had just been hospitalized. Black Cat confiscated his suit, forcing him to once again put on the paper bag mask. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 258; Black Cloth Suit: Though this suit was given to Peter by Black Cat in Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 99, he didn't actually wear it until Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 263 when he accidentally shrank his red and blue suit in the wash.; After Spider-Man removed the symbiote suit, his girlfriend, the Black Cat, made him a non-living duplicate, as she thought it was "sexier" than his red and blue suit. While the two suits were used interchangeably initially, the black suit eventually became Spider-Man's primary suit after his red and blue suit was destroyed. The suit also provided Spider-Man with an extra advantage of stealth in the night, due to its dark color. These also had the unintended benefit of intimidating his opponents.; However, after Venom's attack on Mary Jane Watson, she forced him to abandon the suit for good. Thereafter, he only occasionally wore the black suit as a last resort, when his red and blue suit was out of commission. He returned to wearing the black suit for a brief period of time after his Aunt May was dying in a hospital due to an attempt on Peter's life by Wilson Fisk. With Kraven's resurrection, Spider-Man uncovered a copy of the suit left as a taunt by Kraven while searching for his clone, Kaine and wore it while defeating the Kraven family. Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 99; Captain Universe's Suit: When a lab accident granted Spider-Man the Uni-Power, his costume was cosmically changed into the Captain Universe outfit. This form gave him incredibly enhanced senses, strength, speed, flight, and limited telekinesis. Miles Morales was granted the Uni-Power during the Second Totem War. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 329; Spider-Armor MK I: When the New Enforcers attacked New York using high-caliber firearms, Spider-Man created an armored spider-suit. Composed of a pseudo-metallic compound Peter developed at Empire State University, the suit slowed him down, but defended him from the firearms. During battle, the suit was destroyed by acid. Web of Spider-Man Vol 1 100; Sensational Spider-Man's Suit: When Spider-Man's clone, Ben Reilly, took over as Spider-Man, he created his own version of the classic red and blue costume, extending the spider motif's legs over the whole torso, minimizing the red surfaces on the boots and gloves, and wearing his enlarged customized Web-shooters externally as he had done as the Scarlet Spider. Sensational Spider-Man Vol 1 0; Electro-Proof Suit: This rubber insulated suit was created by Spider-Man in order to protect himself from Electro's enhanced powers in a battle alongside X-Man. After the fight, Spider-Man improved the suit by adding additional padding and styling. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 425; Secret War Suit: Peter was given this covert suit by Nick Fury for a mission in Latveria. The suit was primarily black, with the webbing pattern being red and not passing the head of the logo. Both of said spiders logos were blue, with the back spider's legs extending to the front of the suit. Secret War Vol 1 2; Iron Spider Armor: Before the events of the Superhuman Civil War, Tony Stark fabricated a new red and gold costume for Peter, utilizing much of the same technology used for his Iron Man suit, with the main difference being the suit's mesh-like quality. This new suit provided Peter with advantages he never had before in other costumes, such as radio transmission scanners and receivers, multiple biological sensors for himself and others (such as EKG readings, pulse rates, etc.), multiple vision settings, deflection of small caliber firearms, enhanced strength and limited gliding capabilities. The Iron Spider costume also provided Peter with three retractable pseudo-arms, named waldoes, though they weren't ideal for fighting. If Peter ever felt that he would like a change of pace in his appearance, Stark also built in a feature for the costume to change its appearance at Peter's will. This was an ideal feature for Peter because he never had to worry about trying to hide his suit in public.; Despite all of these new advantages, Peter was still concerned with features in the suit not disclosed to him, and the possibility that they may be used by Stark to control him. These fears came to fruition when Peter realized that he made the wrong choice in the Civil War, and while attempting to flee preemptively from Stark, the two fought. Iron Man initiated an override feature built into the Iron Spider costume to disable Peter. Foreseeing this confrontation, and much to Stark's surprise, Peter had built in an override for Stark's override and ceased using the suit. Peter's concerns were confirmed once more when they faced off again and Stark told Peter that the suit gave him a rare opportunity to examine Peter's "Spider-Sense".; This costume was replicated and given to three clones of Michael Van Patrick, who became known as the Scarlet Spiders. An Iron Spider Armor was obtained and modified by Ceres Goldstein, who sold it to Aaron Davis. Bleeding the suit black, Aaron briefly was Iron Spider, before selling the armor back to Tony Stark. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 529; Stealth Suit: Spider-Man created this suit to combat the Hobgoblin's sonic screams; the suit warps light and sound around it, rendering it invisible.; It was later used by Kaine to defeat Spider-Queen. The costume's new color was a consequence of the suit being locked in that design, which was made on purpose by Madame Web, who wanted it changed for what the Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly) meant in Kaine's past. Originally Kaine could not make the suit change colors until he concentrated hard enough to change it back to its original colors.; To combat Itsy Bitsy, Peter created a new version of the Spidey Stealth Suit. This suit was all black, with small red eyes and large red spider logos, shaded more like Kaine's suit than the original. It also included claw and housed transforming throwing disks. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 650; Spider-Armor MK II: Designed at Horizon Labs to help protect Peter after the loss of his spider-sense. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 656; Future Foundation Suit: This suit was created for Spider-Man when he joined the Future Foundation following the death of the Human Torch. It is made from Unstable Molecules, thus it can repair itself, never get dirty, and change its appearance. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 658; Fear Itself Suit: During the Serpent's War many heroes were given armor made by Tony Stark and the Dwarves of Nidavellir to battle Cul Borson and his Worthy. Spider-Man was given one of these armors and was later destroyed by Tony Stark under Odin's orders. It is unknown what features it had but it was made using Uru so it is presumed that the suit was extremely durable. The suit had two gauntlets, one on each wrist, which was equipped with blades on each arm which that could be used as a melee weapon. The suit also changed the appearance of Spider-Man's red and blue suit to an all blue one with bright neon blue lines replacing the black webs on his normal suit. Fear Itself Vol 1 7; Spider-Armor MK III: Designed using Horizon Labs resources to oppose the latest versions of the Sinister Six. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 682; Superior Spider-Man's Suit: During Doctor Octopus's seemingly final days, he switched bodies with Peter Parker. In the final battle with between the two, Peter Parker supposedly died in Octavius' body. During the battle, Peter showed Otto his experiences and memories as Spider-Man, causing Octavius to vow to become a superior Spider-Man. Octavius then assumed the identities of both Peter Parker and Spider-Man.; To make himself a better Spider-Man, Octavius designed a new suit similar to the original Spider-Man suit, but with some modifications, these being that blue on the original costume was now replaced with black, the design of the symbol on the back was changed, the web design on the mask (mainly around the nose) was changed, the design of the belt is spikier, the lenses on the mask were now made of glass and could show a Heads-Up Display, all of the fingers on the gloves have retractable claws on them, and the big toe on both boots is separated from the rest of the foot and both have retractable talons. He further modified it, lacing Carbonadium in the mask to prevent a mind-switch, a built-in communications device to activate nano-spider-tracers, and creating "spider-arms" on the back; as a possible homage to his previous identity.; After Peter returned, he discarded this suit for his classic costume, and later, the Spider-Armor Mark IV. However, after being mentally demoralized and driven to kill by Itsy Bitsy he decided to upgrade the suit with energy weapons and even more spider-arms to use to kill Itsy Bitsy.; Otto Octavius would eventually recreate the second version of the suit and reclaim his alias as the Superior Spider-Man. This return to heroics was short lived; however, as an identity crisis would result in Otto leaving the suit in a San Francisco trash can. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 700; Spider-Armor MK IV: Created during Peter's control of Parker Industries, although he sacrificed this suit to fight Superior Octopus when Octavius used an EMP to disable his equipment. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 4 1; Cosplayer Suit: Ben Reilly stole this suit from a Spider-Man cosplayer in Las Vegas when he needed a suit.

The suit was deemed basically unusable after being badly damaged during a battle with a Spider-Man impostor. Miles Morales: Spider-Man Vol 1 1; Canadian Spider-Man's Suit: In an alternate timeline, Ben Reilly utilized a red and black suit. It didn't have red on its sleeves, had extra darker lining emulating plaid, a pinkish white maple leaf around the logo, which was a small version of the sensational logo, and brown gloves and boots, with a spider logo on the bottom of the boots.. Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History Vol 1 6; Spider-Man Carnage Doppelgänger: Miles Morales was forcibly bonded with his own symbiote by Carnage. The suit was originally shown as a corrupted version of Miles' suit, with an elongated jaw and a red splash covering his eye and with a black spiral on in. It also had ripped red gloves and boots. During their fight with the Wild Pack, the suit took a red tone, and the spiral became yellow. Once Miles gained control of the suit, the mask resembled Peter's redesigned symbiote mask, but with red streaks under the eyes.

Only the gloves remained unchanged from his usual suit. Absolute Carnage: Miles Morales Vol 1 1; New Fantastic Four Suit: This suit was given to Spider-Man during the Empyre event.

Madame Web (Julia Carpenter) convinced him to keep the suit for himself and somehow locked it in a red-and-black design, which eventually caused Kaine to be given the Scarlet Spider codename in Houston. The lock was seemingly temporary, as Kaine was able to return the suit to its original design for a confrontation against the Assassins Guild.; After the death of the Spider-Man of Earth-94, Kaine gave in to the Other and inadvertently ripped the Stealth Suit to shreds. Its remains were later found by the Black Widow of Earth-1610.; ===Subsequent Suits===; At some point after Kaine took his original Stealth Suit, Peter created a second one and stored it within his black box at Horizon Labs.

Spencer expected that end and was ready to kidnapp the Wall-Crawler. ============================================================ Spider-Slayer Mark XV Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer Mark XV Formal name: Black Widow Type: Robot First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 372 Created by: David Michelinie; Mark Bagley Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Alistaire Smythe of Earth-616; Spencer Smythe of Earth-92131 Additional designers: Alistair Smythe of Earth-92131 Place of creation: Oscorp Tower (Earth-92131) Place of destruction: Manhattan Bridge (Earth-92131) Previous owners: Alistaire Smythe of Earth-616; Spencer Smythe of Earth-92131,; Alistair Smythe of Earth-92131,; Kingpin of Earth-92131 History: The large robot created to resemble a black widow was created by Alistaire Smythe to destroy Spider-Man.

Equipped with the means to neutralize Spider-Man's powers, it fired a viscous lubricant to impede his wall crawling and acid emitters as a form of attack. Its armor plating made it virtually impossible to be destroyed by conventional means. The only way to penetrate it was by using a strong acid. The robot was successfully deployed against Spider-Man, but the wall-crawler eventually managed to defeat it by forcing it into the acid used in its manufacture.; After Spencer's assumed death, his son Alistair rebuilt the Black Widow along with other Spider-Slayers, but they all failed to destroy Spider-Man. ============================================================ Spider-Slayer Mark XVII Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer Mark XVII Formal name: Spider-Slayer Mark XVII Type: Robot First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 372 Created by: David Michelinie; Mark Bagley Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Alistair Smythe of Earth-616; Spencer Smythe of Earth-92131 Additional designers: Alistair Smythe of Earth-92131 Previous owners: Alistaire Smythe of Earth-616; Spencer Smythe of Earth-92131; Alistair Smythe of Earth-92131; Kingpin of Earth-92131 History: The large robot created to resemble a scorpion was created by Alistaire Smythe to destroy Spider-Man.

In those early times he invented a receiver device as well. Spider-Man eventually found out that by changing the frequency emitted by the Tracers, he could trace them with his Spider-sense.; Spider-Man has occasionally pulled the tracker out of storage in cases where he lost his spider-sense or needed greater tracking range than his spider-sense alone could give him.; A modified version of the Spider-Tracer-Tracker was made by Peter to track the location of Alpha after he went missing.; The Spider-Tracer-Tracker program was implemented in Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Suit and his computers in the Baxter Building.; Peter gave his clone, Kaine Parker, a number of Spider-Tracers and a special earpiece that contained a Spider-Tracer-Tracker. The earpiece was necessary since Kaine lacked a spider-sense. ============================================================ Spider-Slayer (Earth-6799) Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer (Earth-6799) Formal name: Spider-Slayer Type: Robot First appearance: Spider-Man (1967 animated series) Season 1 4B Created by: Phil Babet; Al Bertino; Lin Carter; Dick Cassarino; Bill Danch; June Patterson; Dick Robbins Reality: Earth-6799 Lead designer: Henry Smythe Current owner: J. Jonah Jameson Previous owners: Henry Smythe Model: Mark I Notes: The robot was never specifically referred to as the Spider-Slayer during the episode, although the episode's story is obviously based on that of Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 25. History: The Spider-Slayer was a robot built by scientist Henry Smythe, a supporter of J. Jonah Jameson's anti-Spider-Man editorials, and created to apprehend the webslinger. Overjoyed at the idea of being the one to capture the vigilante by means of this powerful robot, Jameson operated it by remote control and chased Spider-Man all over New York City by virtue of its ability to follow Spider-Man anywhere thanks to tracking his "impulses," being able to climb as easily as he did and being impervious to his webs. Eventually the Spider-Slayer seized him atop a skyscraper, but while Jameson and Smythe were traveling there by taxi to collect their prey, Spider-Man managed to pry open a panel on the robot's chest and rip out its wiring. When the two conspirators arrived, they only found an empty costume stuffed with webbing. ============================================================ Spider-Slayer Mark XXI Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer Mark XXI Formal name: Spider-Slayer Mark XXI Other aliases: Goblin Slayers, Alchemax Slayerbots Type: Robot First appearance: Superior Spider-Man Vol 1 28 Created by: Dan Slott; Giuseppe Camuncoli Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Commissioned by Mayor J. Jonah Jameson to defeat The Superior Spider-Man. Lead designer: Alistaire Smythe (based on) Additional designers: Ty Stone; Miguel O'Hara Place of creation: Alchemax Tower, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Alchemax Previous owners: J. Jonah Jameson; Miguel O'Hara; Norman Osborn Model: 20 Trivia: Their deactivation phrase is "He was born with laughter on his lips and a sense that the world was mad!," the opening line from the novel Scaramouche. History: The Spider-Slayer Mark XXI was designed by Alchemax and backed by J. Jonah Jameson due to the latter's growing distrust of Spider-Man following his blackmailing at The Raft. They were introduced just as the Goblin Nation initiated their takeover of New York City and were rebranded as "Goblin Slayers" once it happened. However, Jameson refused to launch the Slayers until Spider-Man showed up with the express purpose of destroying him during combat. This callous disregard of priorities lead Gloria Grant to quit her position as part of the mayor's staff in protest. When the Slayers were activated, they attacked both Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 before the latter was able to regain control. To his shock, he lost control again, now in possession of the Goblins.; Miguel was abandoned by Spider-Man and left to fend for himself, only to be rescued by the recently restored Peter Parker, who destroyed the machines and convinced the future web-slinger of what happened to him. The slayers subversion by the Goblin King caused them to be deployed against the Avengers, Stone used this as an opportunity to sell them to prospective buyers as the slayers were acquainting themselves well against the heroes.; Later on, Tiberius Stone would make an agreement to sell the Spider-Slayers to Jalfaha Dahn, dictator of the Republic of Trans-Sabal. Accompanying Stone, at the request of Liz Allan, Miguel would come face to face against the Scorpion, who led an army of the Spider-Slayers to retrieve Stone, who had been captured by the resistance members led by Mussaret. Using Lyla, Miguel was able to trick the Spider-Slayers into attacking Gargan. After witnessing the atrocities caused by Jalfana and his army, Stone canceled the deal, forcing the dictator to step down, as failure to comply would cause the Slayers to hunt him down. ============================================================ Spider-Man's Cloaking Device (Earth-928) Kind: item Page: Spider-Man's Cloaking Device Formal name: Cloaking Device Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 3 10 Created by: Dan Slott; Olivier Coipel Reality: Earth-928 Lead designer: Otto Octavius/"Peter Parker" Place of creation: Empire State University, Downtown, Nueva York Current owner: Kaine Parker (Earth-14110) Previous owners: Otto Octavius/"Peter Parker"; Pavitr Prabhakar; Peter Parker; Peter Parker (Earth-90214) History: Using his resources, Otto Octavius/"Peter Parker" built a cloaking device that would be able to mask Spider Hybrids "scent" from the Inheritors, allowing them to move around freely, without being detected. ============================================================ Spider-Virus Kind: item Page: Spider-Virus Formal name: Spider-Virus Other aliases: Spider-Flu Type: Virus First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 666 Created by: Dan Slott; Stefano Caselli Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Virus engineered from a piece of Peter Parker's mutated flesh Lead designer: Miles Warren Additional designers: Adriana Soria Place of creation: Jackal's laboratory Place of destruction: Manhattan; New York City; New York Current owner: Jackal Previous owners: Spider-Queen (Earth-616); Spider-Queen (Battleworld) Dimensions: Microscopic Weight: Unknown Notes: This virus, having mutated to the point of infecting every single person who is not some other kind of mutate, also appears in Earth-19919.; After the initial outbreak, vials containing the virus were kept in Horizon Labs for study before they were stolen by Sin-Eater. History: ===Composition===; After being kissed by Adriana Soria, Peter Parker underwent a metamorphosis into a giant spider before molting into a restored human form with augmented spider powers. Several years later, Adriana Soria approached Miles Warren and presented him with a tissue sample of Peter Parker's molted spider body. Using this tissue sample, the Jackal engineered a virus that mutated those infected into Homo arachnus.; ===Symptoms===; Those infected by the Spider-Virus are connected to the Web of Life and Destiny, which in turn amplifies the Queen's own connection to the Web to the point where she is able to attain godlike power. The virus has three stages, which progress over time or can be triggered by the Queen using her connection to the Web of Life and Insect Manipulation telepathy.; Initially the virus was spread by genetically-engineered bedbugs, though it later mutated into a highly contagious airborne form. The only beings unaffected by the virus were various superheroes, though in an alternate universe the virus mutated further to enable the infection of superpowered beings.; The first stage of the Spider-Virus bestowed the infected individuals with powers identical to those possessed by Spider-Man after his first encounter with the Queen.; The second stage of the Spider-Virus begins the infected individuals' metamorphosis, growing extra limbs, fangs, claws, compound eyes, and hair.; The third stage of the Spider-Virus either transforms the infected individuals into giant spiders or humanoid spider-monsters. The metamorphosed individuals are under the control of the Queen, who is able to control them in the same manner as Homo insectus.; Notably, Anya Corazon, possibly due to being a totemic avatar of the Web of Life and Destiny, kept the powers bestowed by the virus's initial stage even after being exposed to the cure.; ===Cures===; The only known cures for the Spider-Virus are the antibodies produced by the Anti-Venom symbiote, being mutated by a substance like the Goblin Formula, Connors Formula, or Michael Morbius's pseudo-vampire serum, or items like the Godstone.; Jack Russell was infected while in human form, but could cause the virus to go into temporary remission by transforming into Werewolf by Night. This was presumably due to the mystical nature of Russell's shapeshifting, as no level of immunity was observable in the Hulk (though it's possible that Bruce Banner, who the Hulk was never shown turning back into, was the uninfected half of their being).; ===Notable People Infected===; # Captain America/Spider-King (Steve Rogers); # Spider-Girl (Anya Corazon) Kept her powers even after being exposed to the cure.; # Shocker (Herman Schultz); # Carlie Cooper; # Max Modell; # Sajani Jaffrey; # J. Jonah Jameson; # Mary Jane Watson; # Wilson Fisk; # Hercules ============================================================ Spider-Slayer Mark VIII Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer Mark VIII Formal name: Spider-Slayer Mark VIII Type: Robot First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 291 Created by: David Michelinie; John Romita Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Alystaire Smythe Previous owners: Alystaire Smythe Model: 8 History: The Spider-Slayer Mk VIII was Alistaire Smythe's second machine, built with the intention of killing Spider-Man and proving to his late father Spencer Smythe he was the smarter of the two. It was a gigantic machine at least twelve feet in height when in its standard form, though its arms, legs and neck could extend and retract. It held a cockpit in the chest for Alistaire to sit in and pilot. It was capable of climbing walls similarly to Spider-Man and could use magnets to rip open walls. Its head-mounted camera is protected by a special web-resistant coating and its arms were outfitted with ethyl chloride sprayers.; The machine made its first move in hunting down Spider-Man by finding Mary Jane Watson's apartment, but was scared off by a couple of women who heard the noise. Finding Spider-Man soon after, the two battled in a construction site where Smythe got the upper hand on the web-slinger before a construction worker came to the hero's rescue. However, Smythe's gas also had a tracing compound which allowed him to track Spider-Man all the way to Pittsburgh when Mary Jane asked for him to come.; Arriving in Pittsburgh, Smythe had the Spider-Slayer reassembled and resumed his hunt of Spider-Man, following him to Duquese University, where Peter and Mary Jane were hunting for evidence to free Mary Jane's sister from jail and put her father rightfully behind bars. Spider-Man lured the machine and Smythe out of the University to protect Mary Jane and the students there, leading him to the Liberty Bridge. The machine overpowered and tried to drown Spider-Man, only to be stopped by Mary Jane smashing her car into the machine's leg, giving the hero enough time to escape. However, Smythe recovered and ambushed Spider-Man again, dousing him with more ethyl chloride. Mary Jane came to his rescue again, smashing the machine's leg with a baseball bat. Smythe dropped Spider-Man and grabbed Mary Jane, intending on killing her. However, this caused Spider-Man to shake off the chemicals' affect and destroy the robot. ============================================================ Spider-Slayer Mark XIX Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer Mark XIX Formal name: Spider-Slayer Mark XIX Type: Robot First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 20 Created by: Howard Mackie; Erik Larsen Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Alystaire Smythe Previous owners: Alystaire Smythe Model: 19 ============================================================ Spider-Slayer Mark II (Earth-29593) Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer Mark II (Earth-29593) Formal name: Spider-Slayer Mark II Type: Robot First appearance: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Created by: Activision; Dan Slott Reality: Earth-29593 Lead designer: S.H.I.E.L.D.

Model: II History: After Carnage destroyed much of the Spider-Slayer Mark I fleet, S.H.I.E.L.D. created a second variation specifically designed against Carnage and Venom.; Spider-Slayers were deployed against Carnage after she escaped containment on the Triskelion. They also attacked Spider-Man, who arrived to capture carnage, since he was bonded to the Venom Symbiote.; When S.H.I.E.L.D. realized that Spider-Man was there, they sent red and white Spider-Slayers reprogrammed to identify the Venom Symbiote as an ally to aid Spider-Man against Carnage. ============================================================ Spider-Slayer (Earth-17628) Kind: item Page: Spider-Slayer (Earth-17628) Formal name: Spider-Slayer Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel's Spider-Man (animated series) Season 1 2 Created by: Kevin Shinick Reality: Earth-17628 Lead designer: Spencer Smythe Additional designers: Norman Osborn Current owner: Norman Osborn Previous owners: Spencer Smythe Model: 2 History: Spencer Smythe created the Spider-Slayer in a Spider like form to retrieve Harry Osborn's confiscated experiments.

She later inverted the torso, being white with a black logo.; In Earth-19529, Claire Parker's spider-suit was similar to the one used by the Spider-Woman of Earth-1610, except her suit had long white gloves.; In Earth-20368, Gerry Drew's uniform used a streamlined version of his mother's suit torso.; In a future diverted from Earth-688B, Anya Corazón's spider-suit was similar to that owned by her Earth-17628 counterpart. Notably it had white lines on the forearms, legs, and boots. It also included a black domino mask, with no lenses and a white internal outline. History: ===Jessica Drew===; First appearance: Marvel Spotlight Vol 1 32; This is the original Spider-Woman suit worn by Jessica Drew, it is made from a skintight cloth, most likely Spandex or similar. When Spider-Woman began her career under the alias of Arachne, she wore her traditional suit colored primarily red with yellow-colored boots and arrow pattern marks over her womb and abdomen; connected in between her breasts follows an upside-down triangle placed over her chest. The suit also consists of webbed wings under the armpits that would allow her to glide through the sky. The mask is all red with another upside-down yellow triangle on the forehead; it covered her entire head except her mouth. The mask has plastic lenses with a chrome covering that allows Jessica to see out, without letting others see in. The lenses also protect Jessica's eyes from dust particles and the glare of the sun while she is gliding through the city.; Sometime later, the gloves became yellow instead of the previous red and, eventually, the suit was slightly redesigned to the more well known traditional Spider-Woman suit. While much remained the same, the mask most notably now exposes a long mane of black hair to flow out. This hair was not Jessica's own, which was much shorter, but a wig.; After the Totem War between spider-themed heroes from across the Multiverse and the Inheritors, Jessica switched to a more practical suit, that sported a biker-inspired look. Spider-Woman wore what appeared to be a red woman motor jacket with black sleeves as well as black trousers. It retained a similar yet smaller yellow pattern on her chest but more akin to a spider symbol. Her gloves and shoes were a clash of red and black. Jessica's "mask" only consisted of a pair of similarly themed goggles with yellow lenses.; Jess would briefly return to her classic costume after being coaxed into rejoining the Avengers by Black Widow, but she was back in her new costume when the universe came back to life.; During her adventures in this suit, she would occasionally wear variations of it that were more adequate to the situation, such as a white and blue snow variant for cold weather and a grey variant to infiltrate Alpha Flight.; She returned to her classic costume sometime before her predicament with the Vridai, but would occasionally carry the jacket from her previous costume, as well as the goggles.; She was wearing this costume when Captain Marvel asked for her help in controlling the Universal Weapon's corruptive power. After Doctor Strange created replica-like projections of the weapon, Jessica's costume, much like the others', turned into shades of green.; She would once again don a new costume when she decided to become a hero for hire, something she felt needed a different costume than her regular one. The new design was mainly black, once again carrying a mask, but retaining a stylized spider on her chest and, for the first time, carrying a web pattern (not too different from her male counterpart) on the shoulders and arms. Even then, she also wore, at least once, the biker costume.; Clear; ===Julia Carpenter===; First Appearance: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars Vol 1 6; The second Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter (who was also called Arachne), wore an all-black suit with a large white spider symbol on the front and back of her torso. The suit also consists of white thigh-high boots and elbow-length gloves. Like the previous Spider-Woman Suit, Julia's has mask covers everything except her mouth and hair. It was this particular outfit which would inspire Spider-Man to base his symbiote outfit on during the Secret Wars.; When Julia was affiliated with the Omega Flight team, her new suit consisted of a larger spider symbol with its legs spread open with a sharp edgier design. This variation also excluded the white gloves and boots from the previous one.; This suit was later given to Anya Corazon, after Julia became the new Madame Web, though Anya still called herself Spider-Girl. During a team-up with Wolverine, he took her to his armory and gave her a specially tailored coat, gloves with steel powder and padding, along with goggles and respirators that blocked pixie dust. Later, she followed Iron Man's advice and removed the majority of the coat as he considered it a hazard. Anya ended up removing all the accessories sometime prior to joining the Spider-Army.; Clear; ===Mattie Franklin===; As Martha Franklin: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 5; The third Spider-Woman incarnation, Martha "Mattie" Franklin, initially wore a similar to Peter Parker's traditional blue and red (minus the web pattern and had a larger spider logo) but later changed it to one that is primarily an all-black attire with red-colored gloves and huge red spider symbol on the front and back of her torso. The mask also leaves Mattie's mouth and hair exposed, the suit also has tattered web wings under her armpits.; ===Charlotte Witter===; As Charlotte Witter: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 5; The Forth person to be called Spider-Woman, Charlotte Witter was a villain who wore a green suit one-piece top with black thigh-high boots and green elbow-length gloves and a green mask with red lenses.; Clear; ===Silk===; First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 3 4; Cindy Moon's first-ever Spider themed attire was made up of her own organic webbing wrapped around most of her body.; She later cultivated a new suit from her webbing when hearing her initial one was said to be tacky; the new one was colored black on the arms and legs while the torso and thighs were white with a black web pattern with a red gradient towards her chest. She also started wearing a red mask covering her nose and mouth.; This suit went through a slight redesign after the war with Inheritors: the web pattern now sported a red "S" on her chest, black gloves with red fingers and white spider legs pattern over her shoulders and thighs. It has, since, become her longest-tenured costume, having only changed it once, when she was on assignment on the West Coast, to a costume inspired by traditional Korean dresses.; Clear ============================================================ Spider-Totem (Item) (Earth-93060) Kind: item Page: Spider-Totem (Item) Formal name: Spider-Totem Type: Idol; Staff; Necklace First appearance: Prime Vol 2 1 Created by: Gerard Jones; Len Strazewski; Kevin West Reality: Earth-93060 Origin: Magical Current owner: Spider-Prime Previous owners: Spider People; Shaman Alternate owners: Ezekiel Sims; Thomas Mchover; Karn Dimensions: 6-8" Version: Unique Properties: The Spider-Totem could grant spider powers to its wielder or those the wielder chose, heal injuries, allow its wielder to communicate with others despite the language barrier, release concussive blasts against its wielder's enemies, summon a giant spider, grant its wielder the ability to see what was happening somewhat else, and transport someone to another universe. Trivia: The Spider-Totem of Earth-TRN1445 bore a resemblance to the Spider Idol of Earth-90214. History: The Spider-Totem was a sacred artifact based on Spider-Man's logo and previous held by the shaman of the Spider People. In his dying breath, the shaman gave the Spider-Totem to superpowered teenager Kevin Green whose powers had intermingled with those of Spider-Man. The artifact helped Kevin stabilize his powers and revealed to him what his alternate sentient body was doing in his hometown. Kevin used the Spider-Totem to merge back with his superhero body, resulting in its apparent destruction. ============================================================ Spider-Man's Anti-Ock Suit (Earth-1048) Kind: item Page: Spider-Man's Anti-Ock Suit Formal name: Anti-Ock Suit Other aliases: Spider-Armor Type: Suit First appearance: Marvel's Spider-Man (video game) Created by: Jon Paquette; Benjamin Arfmann; Kelsey Beachum; Christos Gage; Dan Slott Reality: Earth-1048 Origin: Created to combat Doctor Octopus Lead designer: Spider-Man (Peter Parker) Place of creation: Octavius Industries, Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Spider-Man (Peter Parker) History: An upgraded version of the Advanced Suit that Peter Parker had originally worked on as side project during his time at Octavius Industries via materials that were used for their work on prosthetic limbs.; When Otto Octavius went rogue and kidnapped Mayor Osborn and a hold of the Anti-Serum for the Devil's Breath, Peter quickly completed this suit to be able to fight on par with Doctor Octopus' Tentacles as it had also been made from the same fabric.; The suit was partially damaged during the final fight with Doctor Octopus.

Jonah Jameson History: The Star of Capistan is a sentient ruby, and is sensitive to human brain waves on a seemingly cosmic scale. It is immobile and needs a host to communicate its thoughts and act as its host's protector.; Despite accounts surviving from the time of ancient Lemuria prior to the Great Cataclysm (which was unconfirmed, given the Cataclysm occurred circa 18,000 BC while the Bloodgem supposedly reached Earth by 8250 BC, which could perhaps indicate the Star traveled in time), the actual existence of the gem was still in doubt by some mystics.; In 1933, it was found in the ruins of Dashetal and upon contact, host and gem became one, the Red Rajah. However, in its eagerness to inhabit a human form, it took one with no mystical prowess, so its body was originally powerless. Omar Karindu shot and killed the host.; From then on the Cult of the Unliving Four kept the Star in check, until it went out of control. Karindu sought out his old friend, Doctor Strange, to help the Cult get the Star back under control, but unfortunately Strange was mesmerized by it and was himself transformed into the Red Rajah. As the Rajah, Strange sought to unify humanity by submerging everyone's individual personalities, creating a collective consciousness that he himself would control. He was opposed by his teammates in the Defenders, but managed to take control of the Hulk, Nighthawk, and Power Man. The female members of the Defenders, however, were able to free the male members of the group and destroyed the Star, freeing Doctor Strange.; The gem resurfaced some time later, and it was showcased at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in an exhibition sponsored by the Daily Bugle. When the Bugles publisher and editor-in-chief, J. Jonah Jameson, paid a visit to the exhibition to be photographed with the the Star of Capistan by Peter Parker, he became possessed by the gem and was transformed into the Red Rajah. As the Rajah, Jameson also tried to unify humanity by submerging everyone's individual personalities, again creating a collective consciousness, but Parker managed to protect himself by rigging his headphones to set up a discordant subsonic frequency. As Spider-Man, Peter confronted the Red Rajah, who turned the strawberries at the Strawberry Fields Memorial into carnivorous monsters. Jameson's hatred for Spider-Man had been passed into the Red Rajah, and the Web-Slinger took advantage of this by hugging him and preaching about harmonizing with him, which caused Jameson to snap out of the Star's influence. After that, Spider-Man swung away with the ruby to hand it over to Doctor Strange for safekeeping. ============================================================ Staff of Polar Power Kind: item Page: Staff of Polar Power Formal name: Staff of Polar Power Type: Staff First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 161 Created by: Jim Lawrence; Dan Adkins Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Living Tribunal Previous owners: Nebulos Model: Unique History: The Staff is capable of absorbing mystical power and thus empowering both itself and the person who uses it.

As the Starbrand is intended to defend a world, it also has the power to destroy one. Starbrand users (also called Starbrands) have many powers, such as flight, immense strength, immense durability, energy projection, and the ability to travel through space. In addition, whomever possesses the Starbrand is granted immense analytical abilities to aid the task of protecting life and can detect nearby life.; The Star Brand gave its bearer god-like powers, limited only by the wielder's imagination. The most easily attainable powers of the Star Brand are flight, incredible strength, invulnerability and the ability to unleash blasts of destructive energy, up to the equivalent of a nuclear explosion in force (this last power is problematic, as the blast manifests as a sphere centered on the wielder indiscriminately destroying everything in his vicinity).; In addition, the brand makes the bearer immortal, preserving him from aging, reviving and regenerating his body upon its violent death (Upon reviving, the Star Brand bearer will first take on a transitory but freakish alien shape before reverting to his normal human appearance; more than once, this has lead observers to erroneously believe that the bearer is an alien masquerading as a human). The Star Brand's power also has a minor mutagenic aspect, in that those who wield it for a great number of years will grow taller and more massive. It is possible that all these "basic" abilities are the result of the infinite power of the Star Brand responding to the subconscious desires of the bearer.; The power of the Star Brand must be called up by the bearer's will (except for its preservative properties, which function subconsciously). If the bearer is frightened or disoriented, it is possible for their control to slip and leave him defenseless. Anger focuses the power, and will automatically activate it before the user can consciously do so. In time, the bearer uses the Star Brand instinctively until, if he wishes it, he has to consciously choose to turn it off.; With time, imagination and will, the bearer of the Star Brand can expand its abilities into anything he can conceive of. Early examples are learning to direct its destructive energy into controlled bolts and healing wounds of the bearer or others at will. Expanded powers have included the ability to "burn-out" the powers of other paranormals, creating objects from nothing (up to entire cities), reconstructing and redesigning the bodies of living beings, rendering inert all nuclear warheads on the planet and even time travel.; The brand itself is roughly the size of the palm of the hand and as far as has been shown is immaterial and effectively only two-dimensional. The Brand is utterly black in color and is smooth and warm to the touch. As long as it is somewhere on their skin the bearer may wield its powers. The brand can be transferred to another part of the body if the bearer wills it by skin-to-skin contact, thus the bearer can choose to place the Star Brand anywhere on his person, willing it into his hand then placing it anywhere on their body.; However, this transfer involves some energy discharge, and the brand will burn off any hair it is placed over. The Star Brand and its power can be transferred to another person, but former owners are always left with a remaining residue of about 10% of its power, a residue which regenerates and in time will grow to equal that of the original. In the series it was stated that the power of the brand is infinite. So 10% of infinite power is still infinite power.; The Star Brand must be carried by a sentient being, otherwise its energy is spontaneously released in a massive uncontrolled explosion. The two most significant events of the New Universe, the White Event and the destruction of Pittsburgh, were caused by attempts to transfer the Star Brand to inanimate objects.; There is some risk of "fallout" from massive uses of the Star Brand's power. Backlash from the Star Brand has occasionally altered nearby landscape and life.; Trivia: Sunspot from DC Comics and the power he held were created as a parody of Ken Connell and the Star Brand.; Starbrands and the Eternals of the Machine are rival planetary defense systems. History: ===Origin===; The Starbrand was designed by an ancient race called the Builders. In the Superflow, the dreamspace that connects universes, the Builders created stations that would scan worlds on the verge of ascending on a universal scale and/or would enter the Builders' "newuniversal structure." Upon finding one, a station would fire a White Event to give a select individual, who meets special criteria to prevent misuse, the power of the Starbrand to defend the planet, as well as others like a Nightmask, a Justice, a Cipher, and possibly more. Each affected planet has its own set of Starbrands, Nightmasks, Justices, Ciphers, etc. If two different Starbrands meet, they become attracted to each other to avoid destroying one another. A planet can be hit by White Events multiple times in its history. The Starbrand can also be passed down from one bearer to the next without the need of another White Event.; ===Earth-616===; ====Early Starbrands====; The first known White Event occurred 66 million years ago when an asteroid was drawn to the planet Earth, with the ensuing impact causing a mass extinction event that wiped out the majority of life on the planet, including the dinosaurs. This cracked open the Superflow and the White Event empowered a Tyrannosaurus rex as the first Starbrand of Earth. In time the Tyrannosaurus rex perished and a mystical oasis called the Garden of Eden grew over its resting place.; 65 million years later, the Garden was destroyed when the Starbrand on the dinosaur's corpse was transferred over to a prehistoric human named Vnn. As the new Starbrand, Vnn was recruited into the prehistoric Avengers and defended Earth against various threats. He too met his end during a battle against Doom Supreme of the time-travelling Multiversal Masters of Evil. Eventually, the Starbrand reappeared in the Old West, either by a White Event or by being transferred.; clear; ====The Last White Event====; Nightmask; Due to the collapse of the Multiverse, in events called "incursions," the Builders' structures in the Superflow were being destroyed at a rapid pace. A Caretaker ordered all remaining stations to fire White Events randomly. One of these, dubbed the "Last White Event," hit Earth of Earth-616 and ascended two individuals: Adam as the Nightmask and Kevin Connor as the Starbrand.; The explosion from the White Event destroyed Kevin's college and he was confronted by the Avengers. After a quick brawl, Nightmask explained Kevin's situation and brought him to the Garden to see Ex Nihilo and Abyss, two older Builder systems and Adam's creator.; When the Builders, in an attempt to stablize the Multiverse from the incursions, began an assault on the universe to destroy the Earth, the incursion point, Captain Universe warned the Avengers that they must expand to face the Builder threat. They recruited Builder systems Starbrand (Kevin Connor), Nightmask (Adam), Ex Nihilo, and Abyss.; During the Builder War, Kevin Connor unleashed the power of the Starbrand against the Builders and aided in their defeat. However, Starbrand and Nightmask found an Aleph roaming in the universe long after the Builders left the universe. When they learned that the Alpeh was pushed into Earth-616 because of the impending total collapse of the Multiverse becoming more severe, they joined Sunspot's Multiversal Avengers to find out the cause. Eventually, they found the Beyonders but were killed by them. However, as Kevin Connor died, the Starbrand detonated in front of an unexpecting Beyonder and destroyed it.; When the Multiverse was restored as the Eighth Cosmos, Kevin Connor returned with hazy memories. Meanwhile, the Kree world Kree-Pama was hit by a White Event and the Kree Va-Sohn became the Starbrand. However, she immediately killed the Nightmask and the Justice, sparing only the Cipher. Believing that the best way to defend her planet is to destroy other planets before they could pose a threat, she attempted to destroy the Earth but encountered Kevin Connor. A built-in failsafe caused both Starbrands to be attracted to each other and forced them to stop the conflict.; clear; ====Starbrand Reborn====; After Kevin Connor's untimely death, his Starbrand was transferred to a pregnant woman named Suzanne Selby. She died during labour but the Starbrand was transferred once more to her daughter, whom the Avengers named Brandy. For some reason, the Starbrand was aging Brandy up rapidly and it eventually reached the point that she was elderly. After a conflict against the Mephisto's Council of Red and the Multiversal Masters of Evil, she sacrificed herself along with a Phoenix to restore the Earths that the Masters had ravaged.; clear; ===Earth-148611===; A brand granting the bearer infinite power, limited in application only by their imagination. Though it exists on several different worlds and takes slightly different forms on each, it always resembles a multi-point star burst. First known in the New Universe, where it was wielded for years by the mysterious figure known only as "the Old Man," who had possessed the brand since the Middle Ages.; Tired of immortality, the Old Man at one point attempted to bond the brand to an asteroid, getting rid of it without passing on the burden of its awesome power. He failed, and the energy released resulted in the White Event. Giving up, the Old Man gave the brand to Ken Connell. Ken Connell used the Star Brand to become a superhero for a time, before he too grew tired of fighting off aliens, super beings, and even a now-mad Old Man, who all also wanted the Brand.; He too tried to fly into space to dispose of the brand's power (unaware that a former attempt to do so had caused the White Event), saving just a small portion of its infinite power to bring him safely home. He did not fly far enough away from the Earth, and the resulting blast completely destroyed Pittsburgh, leaving only a mutative, radioactive pit. This later became known as the Black Event, and led to a global war when President Reagan assumed it to be an act of hostility by the Soviet Union. When Connell was brought to Battleworld by Korvac, he transfered the Brand to Hank Pym. Pym used it to battle Korvac, and once Korvac backed down the Brand was returned to Connell.; Eventually, the hero Quasar came to the New Universe while lost on a trek through alternate realities. Ken Connell had passed the brand on to a U.S. Air Force Pilot, Jim Hanrahan, who Quasar found and convinced to give him the brand. Jim was a fighter pilot who, during a flight encountered the Star Child, lost control of his jet and crashed. When he awoke on the ground he was unharmed save for a strange tattoo on his hand. After recovering, Hanrahan's new powers manifested and he had a recurring dream in which the Star Child saved him during his crash and used the Star Brand to heal him by imparting it to him. Fearing a repetition of the paranormal disaster which had destroyed Pittsburgh, Hanrahan kept his abilities a secret and never used them. Stranded in the New Universe, the hero Quasar sought him out to acquire the Star Brand's power to return home.; Leery of giving the power to a complete stranger (one who claimed to be a superhero from a fictional comic book, no less) Hanrahan spent hours questioning Quasar to learn his character before relenting and giving the Star Brand away. Quasar returned to his universe through the use of the Star Brand. At first, he believed that the supreme effort of bridging not just dimensions but whole quanta of reality (the New Universe was not simply a parallel reality but a fundamentally different continuum from any of the alternate Marvel universes) had used up all the power of the Star Brand. However, a trace remained and once back he accidentally passed it on to his secretary Kayla Ballantine, unconsciously imprinting the Star Brand on to the base of her neck.; Kayla Ballantine was Quasar's secretary at the time she received the Star Brand. Once her powers began to manifest, she became the target of numerous alien individuals and groups. These include the Dance, the Chief Examiner, and a group of interplanetary marauders known as the Starblasters. The Deviant Ereshkigal briefly succeeded in taking the Star Brand from Kayla Ballantine and began to wreak havoc with it. However, she was swiftly confronted by Quasar and the Silver Surfer. Eventually, when the Living Tribunal intervened, she chose suicide over surrender, using the Brand's power to disintegrate herself. The Brand was then returned to Ballantine.; Ballantine would eventually pass the Star Brand onto The Stranger in order to prevent Skeletron (the leader of the Starblasters) from forcibly taking the Star Brand. The Stranger's first action after taking possession of the Star Brand was to move the earth of the New Universe into the Marvel Universe and place it in orbit around his lab-world. His intention was to use it for his experiments. This was prevented when the Living Tribunal arrived and judged the Star Brand to be a threat to the hierarchy of the cosmic powers of the Marvel Universe. A barrier was placed around the New Universe earth in order to quarantine it from the rest of the universe, so that the Brand could never interact with the rest of the universe. After the threat posed by the Starblasters was over, the Star Brand was returned to Ballantine. She remained on the New Universe earth after it was moved into the Marvel universe and cut off from the rest of that universe.; Arden, a multiversal observer of the New Universal continuum theorized that while every Star Brand ever conceived is different everywhere and everywhen within existence, the one constant they all share, besides being a conduit for an energy source no matter what universe it's in, is that none of them adhere to the natural physics of said universe, that all are tapping into a looping energy source which is derived through the multiverse itself.; ===Earth-555===; The newuniversal structure is an artificial web, a machine constructed by an ancient race, whose strands are lightyears long and the laws of physics as they are known to humanity do not apply. When a planet enters the web, to ease to transition, a White Event is triggered where the machine automatically selects four recipients to receive the power of the Starbrand for planetary defense, the Nightmask to access the Superflow, the Justice to judge sinners, and the Cipher for technological advancement.; Earth of Universe 555 has skirted the edge of the newuniversal structure before three times. The first one produced the Starbrand Starr, as well as an accompanying Nightmask, a Cipher, and a Justice. They made the city Zardath, located in modern-day Latvia and predated Uruk, the most advanced on the planet.; A fourth White Event occured when Earth entered the newuniversal web, believed to be for long-term contact. It occured on March 2nd, 2006, and produced a Starbrand (Ken Connell), a Nightmask (Izanami Randall), a Justice (John Tensen), and a Cipher (Jenny Swann). Unfortunately, the overflow of the Starbrand killed Ken's girlfriend Maddie. He was arrested but killed the police officers, including Maddie's vengeful father, in self-defense.; Ken's actions alerted the world of the Starbrand's existence. Ken retreated to the Wichita Mountains where he met three other Starbrands, two from other universes and the third was himself from 50 years into the future. Old Ken warned him about misusing the Starbrand, but they were interrupted by the US military attempting to kill him. The Starbrands survived and Ken escaped with Nightmask.; clear; ===Other Realities===; On Earth-886 the bearer of the Star Brand uses it to fight evil monstrous forces that threaten the world, and she is something of a celebrity for doing so. The bearer of Earth-723's Star Brand uses the power to create music that can influence human behavior, to the extent that he has unified the people of his world as single hive mind. Earth-541 is the home of a Star Brand bearer who has conquered his world and installed himself as the head of a benevolent monarchical dictatorship. This world is apparently peaceful, happy, and efficient, despite the lack of freedoms. ============================================================ Stargate Kind: item Page: Stargate Formal name: Stargate Type: Technology First appearance: X-Men Vol 1 105 Created by: Chris Claremont; Dave Cockrum Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Shi'ar; Stable Wormholes created by the Shi'ar Lead designer: Shi'ar Place of creation: Shi'ar Galaxy Current owner: Galactic Union Previous owners: Shi'ar Empire; Galactic Council Material: Vibranium Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: Through the use of the Nova Force, Nova Corps members can generate their own Nova-Class Stargates. These Stargates are entirely energy-based.; The Symbiote Imperium had also utilized Stargates to move around space and invade planets.; Not to be confused with the Stargates found in the science fiction franchise of the same name. Trivia: In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, instead of Stargates the various alien civilizations utilized the Universal Neural Teleportation Network, or referred to as just Jump Points, which was created by the Kree to traverse the universe. History: Shi'ar have a network of devices known as Stargates. They were used to create stable Wormholes. These were used by the Shi'ar Empire to travel around the universe. Sometimes they were ground-based gates for people to walk through, other times they were enormous space-based ones for ships to use. Stargates or a version of the standard stargate, had the ability to provide travel to other dimensions.; The technology of the Stargate worked by having near-infinite amounts of energy bound in a delicately-balanced matrix field. It was when the Stargate was in operation that it was most vulnerable. If the transit screen was hit with enough firepower, the stargate would explode in a massive explosion that could be seen far.; Following the end of the Skrull-Xandar War, the Shi'ar helped the Xandarians rebuild their civilization. As part of this rebuilding, the Shi'ar shared much of their technology with the Xandarians, which included their stargates, granting them, and as a result the Nova Corps, a mean to travel the universe.; The Galactic Council later partnered with the Shi'ar Empire to establish an intergalactic network of Stargates centered from the Fulcrum to facilitate trade between planets. They made a trade deal with the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda to supply Vibranium to manufacture them.; After the Secret Alliance dethroned Majestrix Xandra, the new Majestor, Electron, ordered that all Stargates in their possession to be decommissioned in order to prevent Xandra and her allies from leaving the Shi'ar Galaxy. The only functioning Stargates left were those owned by the Galactic Council, which had since been restructured into the Galactic Union. ============================================================ Staff of One Kind: item Page: Staff of One Formal name: Staff of One Other aliases: Evil Stick,; Minoru Family Curse; Nico's Staff; Staff of Creepiness Type: Staff First appearance: Runaways Vol 1 4 Created by: Brian K. Vaughan; Adrian Alphona Reality: Earth-616; Earth-2912; Earth-16191; Earth-199999; Earth-22145; Earth-24888 Origin: Magical staff Lead designer: Tokiko Minoru Current owner: General Xavin Previous owners: Alex Wilder; Apex; Chase Stein; Judy Minoru; Karolina Dean; Marie Laveau; Monk Theppie; Nico Minoru; Tina Minoru; Tokiko Minoru; Witchbreaker Dimensions: Approximately 4 ft. long Model: Unique Properties: The Staff of One was powered by blood magic. To conjure and operate the Staff, a blood offering must be made. This bleeding can be from a wound, a small cut, and even from menstruation or bleeding gums. The amount of magic the Staff can perform appears to be tied to the amount of blood offered, that is to say, the larger the sacrifice, the more potent the spell. Other factors that appear to affect the spell casting is the clarity and/or intent. Alex Wilder once observed that the Staff of One was harder to operate than it appeared.; To cast spells, the user needed to utter a word or simple phrase; however, the Staff of One can only cast a spell once. Attempts to cast a spell a second time result in unpredictable feats of magic, or have no resulting effect whatsoever; however, the Staff recognizes different masters, so the same spell can be cast more than once, as long as it's by different users.; When the strength of the Staff begins to wane, it was reabsorbed into the wielder's body until they bleed to bring it forth again. This process can often be unpleasant.; Direct contact with the Staff of One appeared to make spellcasting easier, but more advanced practitioners are able to cast spells through the Staff of One without direct contact.; The Staff of One appeared to have an affinity for certain individuals, particularly the women of Tokiko Minoru's bloodline, but it appeared that the Staff can be wielded by anyone; however, since its power upgrade with the Witchbreaker, the Staff appeared to have become more discriminating about who could wield it.; When the Staff of One was especially powerful and/or closely linked to its bearer, it appeared to grant self-propelled flight without the need of an incantation.; During the most recent visit of the One, Nico renegotiated the One's contract changing the cost of the Staff of One's magic; instead of exchanging blood for magic, every spell now allowed the One into Nico herself.; ==List of Incantations==; Abraham Lincoln - Unvanished the Malibu House to prevent being shot by U.S. soldiers.

Here are the spells seen with unknown incantations.:; On Earth-199999, the Staff appears to respond to both verbal and nonverbal spells. Here are the spells seen with unknown incantations.: Clear Notes: The Staff of One's energy signature was usually red or pink possibly because of its dependence on blood magic.; At first, Nico thought that the Staff of One couldn't do the same type of spell twice, but, with time, she realized she simply couldn't repeat the same wording and even different languages were allowed to bypass this problem. Trivia: According to Tina Minoru, the Staff of One was so powerful, it made the Dread Dormammu tremble. History: The Staff was formed after Tokiko Minoru bested the magical entity known as the One with a thrall army twice the size of the One's. After her victory, she presented the One with a choice: to die or to become "her sword." He chose the latter and, upon agreeing on the terms, became the Staff, being allowed a few hours of freedom every time Mars aligns with the Earth and the Sun.; The Staff was passed through generations eventually coming into the possession of Judy Minoru, who received the Staff of One from Judy Minoru, who gave her a speech about the rules and conditions of using the Staff, like it had been done across the centuries.; When attempting to bring their children back, Tina attacked Nico with the Staff, but instead of wounding her, the Staff was absorbed into her body. Nico accessed the Staff later after accidentally being cut by Dale Yorkes' Samurai Battle-Axe. Since that time, Nico has learned how to use the Staff and has become proficient with it.; When Alex Wilder revealed himself as the mole for the Pride, he briefly took control of the Staff of One along with the Fistigons, X-Ray Specs, and Old Lace.; When Chase Stein left to sacrifice himself to Gibborim, he also stole the Staff of One to give Nico a chance at a normal life.; During their trip to 1907, Nico was abducted by the Upward Path and the Witchbreaker, her ancestor. Witchbreaker pushed Nico's powers to the limits, and after their encounter, the Staff of One took on a new appearance and seemed to have imbued Nico with new powers. Following this increase in power, Nico's abilities expanded nearly beyond her control, and the Staff of One began attacking others trying to take possession of it.; The Staff of One was brought with Nico when she, Chase, and fourteen other super-powered adolescents were abducted and brought to Murderworld by Arcade. Because of her magical-based abilities, Nico was chosen to face off against Apex. Unfortunately, Apex badly beat Nico, and, while controlling Chase's Darkhawk Android, forced Chase to break off her left forearm and snap the Staff of One in two. With her dying breath, Nico cast one last spell. Powered by her tremendous loss of blood, the spell resurrected her, created a new magical arm for her, and reformed the Staff of One.; After her resurrection, Nico appeared darker and more distant. Additionally, her new magical arm acted as a surrogate for the Staff, allowing her to cast spells using the Staff's power without bleeding and without the Staff being physically present. Nico later mysteriously regained her flesh and blood arm, and the Staff of One returned to its original appearance, following an encounter with the One that Nico slept through.; During the most recent visit of the One, Nico renegotiated the One's contract; now, instead of exchanging blood for magic, every spell will allow one drop of the One into Nico, allowing him to hear the outside world and have a small voice.; Not wanting to lose herself to the One, Nico gave the Staff of One to Karolina when she left for space with the Light Brigade and asked her not to bring it back to Earth. During her travels with the Light Brigade, Karolina gave the Staff of One to Xavin, so she wouldn't have to bring it back to Earth. ============================================================ Spine of Complicity Kind: item Page: Spine of Complicity Formal name: Spine of Complicity Type: Technology First appearance: Annihilation: Super-Skrull Vol 1 3 Created by: Javier Grillo-Marxuach; Greg Titus Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Negative Zone Lead designer: Hawal Place of creation: Negative Zone Current owner: Super-Skrull Previous owners: Hawal History: A device that detects the desire for betrayal in the prisoner's mind and punishes it with a brutal shock to the central nervous system. ============================================================ Stardust's Halberd Kind: item Page: Stardust's Halberd Formal name: Stardust's Halberd Type: Halberd First appearance: Stormbreaker: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill Vol 1 1 Created by: Michael Avon Oeming; Daniel Berman; Andrea Di Vito Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Galactus Current owner: Stardust ============================================================ Staff of the Elder Gods Kind: item Page: Staff of the Elder Gods Formal name: Staff of the Elder Gods Other aliases: Golden Sword of the Elder Gods Type: Staff First appearance: Conan the Barbarian Vol 1 194 Created by: James C. Owsley; Val Semeiks Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Elder Gods Current owner: Conan Previous owners: Anneka; Footslave of the Elder Gods; Red Sonja; Simeon History: Conan snatched this wooden totem from the Footpad of the Elder Gods and used it to defeat Xuthl's demonic Shedu.; Inscribed on the staff there was a rune saying "Maxmelle the undead, guardian of the power".; Red Sonja had her men steal the Staff of the Elder Gods from Conan's tent, simply wanting him to fight her in order to win it back, but the Cimmerian told her he cared not if she kept the thing.; This sorcerer's artifact could hurt Bahkt, and perhaps even kill him.; When Simeon was struck by a lightning on his way to the Forest of the Eternal Verities, the Staff turned into a sword.; Conan tested the sword against a band of scavengers, but it was the wrong weight and had no balance, so he left it behind. When he and Thulsa Doom were attacked in Arallu by a horde of evil dead, one swing of the Golden Sword of the Elder Gods could had fairly dispatched them, but Conan didn't bring it. After Simeon was killed, Red Sonja instead successfully used it against a gang of scavengers.; The Golden Sword eventually protected the whole party from a blast of eldritch energy unleashed by the Devourer of Souls, so Conan used it in the final duel against Wraarl. When he finally slew the dread demon with the magical sword in a thunderous explosion of power, the weapon crumbled into the dust from which all things began. ============================================================ Star Sceptre Kind: item Page: Star Sceptre Formal name: Star Sceptre Type: Scepter First appearance: Captain Britain Vol 1 35 Created by: Gary Friedrich; Ron Wilson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Otherworld; The Star Sceptre was a magical weapon created by Merlyn for Captain Britain. Lead designer: Merlyn Place of creation: Otherworld Previous owners: Captain Britain Model: Unique History: Merlyn originally gave Captain Britain what appeared to be a telescopic Quarterstaff loaded with high-tech gadgetry to use as a weapon, seemingly because he felt that Brian Braddock, being a scientist, would relate better to this than to a more obviously mystical weapon. When Braddock began to accept the mystical side of his powers though, Merlyn transformed the staff into the Star Sceptre, seemingly removing certain of its capabilities which Braddock had seldom or never used, but granting him the power of flight, albeit only for fifteen minutes at a time. The Sceptre could also generate the same protective force field which the staff had formerly projected. When Captain Britain's powers were later upgraded by Merlyn, the Star Sceptre vanished and its properties were seemingly transferred to Captain Britain's power enhancing uniform. ============================================================ Stark Industries Enhancement Kit (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Stark Industries Enhancement Kit Formal name: Stark Industries Enhancement Kit Other aliases: iMan Type: Weapon First appearance: Ultimate Armor Wars Vol 1 2 Created by: Warren Ellis; Steve Kurth Reality: Earth-1610 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The iMan is an enhancement kit composed by a set of electrically-activated nano-structured polymeric-gel exomuscles with access to a "reactionless casimir plate projection unit", also known as Repulsor Gun.; Due to its carbon nanotube sheathing, the suit is also able to soak up about a hundred gigapascals of pressure, is two orders of magnitude stronger than steel, flexible, and almost weightless.; Tony Stark utilized this suit when he, along with Justine Hammer, went to Prague to make dealings with Doctor Faustus regarding the appropriation of Stark technologies. Tony used the Repulsor Gun to destroy the entire body of an assailant from the head to the waist with this enhancement kit, which he had managed to hide under his business suit due to its smaller size. ============================================================ Star-Lord's Uniform Kind: item Page: Star-Lord's Uniform Formal name: Star-Lord Uniform Type: Suit First appearance: Marvel Preview Vol 1 4 Created by: Steve Englehart; Steve Gan; Bob McLeod Reality: Earth-791; Earth-616 Origin: Alien Lead designer: Master of the Sun (Earth-791) Current owner: Peter Quill Previous owners: Kitty Pryde Alternate owners: Peter Quill (Earth-791); Sinjin Quarrel (Earth-791); Peter Quill (Earth-691); Gamora (Earth-14971) Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: Star-Lord's Uniform is comprised of a retractable nanotechnological mask, a jacket and jet boots.

Tactical Team led by Deadpool.; Bob, Agent of Hydra informed Deadpool of the Time-Travel Harness project, but said the organization believed Dr. Weathers was still years away from developing a working prototype.; However, unbeknownst to both Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., Dr. Weathers' son Daryll had already utilized a functioning copy of the Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness suit, perfected by Daryll Weathers in Brooklyn twenty-six years into the future, to travel back through time in an effort to prevent the death of his brother Darius in present day Manhattan.; Meanwhile, Cable witnessed what he thought was Dr. Weathers' assassination during a precognitive vision, and believe that Deadpool was responsible, so the pair surveilled Dr. Weathers at Rockefeller Center and intercepted what appeared to be Split Second's assassination attempt; however, Wade accidentally shot and killed Dr. Weathers' son during the ensuing struggle.; Split Second then repeatedly jumped seventy seconds into the past, creating a pocket temporal anomaly in hopes of preventing the boy's death, but each time either Deadpool, Cable, or Split Second accidentally killed various bystanders. By the fiftieth rewind, Wade had memorized the chaotic sequence of events and exploited that knowledge to get behind Daryll with Cable's gun, just has he reappeared in the timeline, blasting him through the chest. This damaged the buffers in the harness, destabilizing the drift of chronal particles and resulting in a massive explosion that seemingly erased the trio from existence.; But Deadpool and Cable instead found themselves in the year 2050 where they were immediately attacked yet again, this time by a time-traveler wearing a different temporal suit and calling himself Loop. During the time displacement, something happened to Cable and he was babbling incoherently, because a temporal cancer lesion had formed on his brain. This forced Wade to defend him, as Nate was apparently Loop's target for assassination. Eventually the NYPD arrived, and Loop fled the scene. Returning to the Timetech Facility, he ran into Deadpool yet again, and revealed himself to be none other than Wade Wilson. Dr. Carl Weathers, now the Temporal Adjudicator working for the Time Variance Authority, then recruited Deadpool to help cure the cancer within the timestream, giving him his own Loop Temporal Dislocation Harness, before sending them both back in time to save the universe by killing Cable.; The pair then jumped back and forth in time, between Earth-616 and Earth-4935, charged with fulfilling the Time Judge's orders of assassinating Nathan Dayspring, only to have Deadpool repeatedly save his life every time. Eventually Wade realized that it was Split Second, utilizing a repaired Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness, who was trying to kill Cable in all the timelines, so he anticipated where he'd attack from at the next attempt, then dropped in behind him, shooting Daryll in the back of the head with a Temporal Pulse Pistol.; Returning to the present day in Earth-616, Deadpool tased Split Second, preventing Darius' accidental death, and learning Split Second's true identity. Shortly thereafter Cable arrived and took Daryll back to 2050, seizing the Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness for himself. He then returned to Earth-4935, believing that he had to fulfill the Temporal Adjudicator's previous mission of killing himself across multiple timelines to remove the temporal cancer from his brain.; After Dr. Weathers fixed the Loop Temporal Dislocation Harness, Wade caught up to Nate, and convinced him that all he needed to do was embrace his multiplicity. Deadpool then linked the Loop Temporal Dislocation Harness to the Split Second Temporal Dislocation Harness, boosting it's power and allowing Cable to unify himself across all timelines, thus curing his cancer. ============================================================ Staff of N'Astirh Kind: item Page: Staff of N'Astirh Formal name: Staff of N'Astirh Type: Staff First appearance: Deadpool Vol 5 7 Created by: Cullen Bunn; Tyler Crook Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: Terror History: The Staff of N'Astirh was an object Terror was hired to steal by a man named Kaliq from an goat-headed old rival of his.; When Terror assaulted the goat-headed man's building, he was confronted by said man and two of his men.

They are armed with a pair of miniguns along with laser sights. They are stored and released from a satellite under the command of the AI E.D.I.T.H. who is in turn controlled via Tony Stark's Sunglasses.; Tony Stark bequeathed E.D.I.T.H. to Peter Parker after his sacrifice to defeat Thanos. While posing as Nick Fury on his behalf, the Skrull spy Talos handed the glasses over to Parker during his school trip to Europe. While travelling on a bus, Peter accidentally activated one of the drones and it nearly killed one of his classmates, Brad Davis, until Peter disabled it.; A group of disgruntled former Stark employees led by Quentin Beck targeted Peter Parker in a bid to obtain the sunglasses, thus control over the drones. They intended to use them to bolster their ability to orchestrate threats for Beck, who would take them down posing as a super hero named Mysterio. After successfully manipulating Peter into giving him control of E.D.I.T.H., Beck used a swarm of them to attack the Tower Bridge in London, equipping the drones with holographic projectors to hide them behind the appearance that his fabricated foes, the Elementals, had merged into a single entity. Having figured out that Mysterio was a farce, Peter intercepted his giant-sized illusion as Spider-Man, and managed to neutralize enough drones to compromise the believability of the merged Elemental, forcing Mysterio to drop the illusion altogether.; Beck used a batch of drones to guard himself from Spider-Man inside the Tower Bridge, and was fatally injured by friendly fire. After Beck died, Peter took the glasses from him to regain control of E.D.I.T.H. and ordered all the drones to disengage. ============================================================ Squirrel Girl's Costume Kind: item Page: Squirrel Girl's Costume Formal name: Squirrel Girl's Costume Type: Suit; Flight Harness; Armor First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 2 8 Created by: Steve Ditko; Will Murray Reality: Earth-616; Earth-19747; Earth-20204; Earth-61340 Origin: Suit; Magical Lead designer: Maureen Green Additional designers: A.I.M., Doreen Green, Leather Boy, Loki, Melissa Morbeck, Nancy Whitehead, Tony Stark Current owner: Squirrel Girl History: ===Original Costume===; The original costume of Doreen Green was designed by her mother Maureen.

History: The Star Stone was a fragment from a forgotten star, a meteoric fragment.; From the Star Stone was forged the Star Sword, a steel sword imbued with the powers of the Nineteen Gods, and offered by Father Gorm to Lord Thungarth in Nemedis, one of the cities of the First Men, in Lemuria, besieged by the Dragon Kings. With the Star Sword, Thungarth defeated the Dragon Kings at Grimstrand Firth, but died during the battle, his sword broken.; Ages later, almost half a million years ago, the Star Stone was in possession of the Archdruid Yelim Pelorvis, who also knew it as the Sacred Talisman, and lied in the Scarlet Tower of Tsargol, guarded by Slorgs, Serpent-Women. In order to destroy the remaining Dragon Kings, Sharajsha of Zaar petitioned the help of the Valkarthan warrior Thongor. On their quest, they needed to acquire the Star Stone to forge a new Star Sword. Using the Nemedis, a flying craft, Thongor infiltrated the Scarlet Tower, fought the Slorgs, and managed to secure the Star Stone, but was captured and brought before Drugunda Thal and the sark of Tsargol, Drugunda Thal. Thongor refused to disclose the location of the Stone, and was sentenced to death in the arena.; Escaping with new companions aboard the Nemedis, the crew set out to the next step of the quest: dip a fragment of the Star Stone into the Eternal Fire in the crypts of Yamath, in Patanga. Sharajsha halved the Star Stone using a diamonds-edged blade. Hovering the Nemedis over Patanga, Sharajsha and Thongor infiltrated the crypt, and were able to tamper the Star Stone. They were spotted by yellow druids and guards. As Thongor battled them, Sharajsha molded the Star Stone fragment into the second Star Sword. ============================================================ Star-Stone (Xander) Kind: item Page: Star-Stone (Xander) Formal name: Star-Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 2 19 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Alfredo Alcala Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Xander History: Xander found the Star-Stone and regained his full powers.Fortunately, Felicia's powers made her immune to his magic, so she managed to steal the stone from Xander and defeat him, and then escaped. ============================================================ Spire Kind: item Page: Spire Formal name: The Spire Other aliases: The Throne Type: Throne First appearance: Venom Vol 4 3 Created by: Donny Cates; Ryan Stegman Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Symbiote throne used to amplify the user's connection to the Symbiote Hive Lead designer: Knull Additional designers: Symbiotes Place of creation: Symbiote Throneworld Current owner: Hela Previous owners: Eddie Brock; Cletus Kasady; Knull Alternate owners: Abyssus; Peter Parker (Earth-24110) Material: Living Abyss History: At the beginning of time, the abyssal elder god Knull discovered how to create life out of darkness. Experimenting to hone his powers, Knull created an artificial planet to serve as his throneworld and established himself as the nexus of a hive consisting of Symbiotes, symbiote-dragons, and other predatory and parasitic entities formed of living abyss. To amplify his connection to the Hive-Mind, Knull created the first Spire in the shape of a throne of living abyss, from which he oversaw his horde of monsters in their rampage across the cosmos. Knull's original Spire was presumably destroyed after the Symbiote Hive rebelled against him, leaving him imprisoned in the core of the Symbiote Throneworld, which they renamed Klyntar.; After becoming Knull's acolyte, Cletus Kasady used the Dark Carnage symbiote to create two Spires - one in San Francisco's Underground City and one in an abandoned subway station under Grand Street in Manhattan. Kasady used the Spires to commune with Knull and direct his offshoot of the Symbiote Hive during his attempt to slaughter the Earth. However, the Underground City's Spire was destroyed by Hawkeye, somewhat weakening Dark Carnage's control of his offshoots; After Dark Carnage's defeat, the Spire under Grand Street was left abandoned until Venom used it in an unsuccessful attempt to hack into the Symbiote Hive-Mind during Knull's attack on Earth. Knull established a Spire of his own atop the Empire State Building, using it to oversee his assault on Earth.; After becoming the new King in Black, Eddie relocated Knull's Spire to the basement of his new house, using it to oversee the Symbiote Hive. However, interfacing with the Spire placed an extreme amount of strain on Eddie's body and caused him to rapidly age over the course of only a few months. ============================================================ Star Disc Kind: item Page: Star Disc Formal name: Star Disc Type: Technology First appearance: Rom Vol 1 59 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Dire Wraiths Current owner: Dire Wraiths History: The Star Disc was a device used by the Dire Wraiths to spy on their enemies undetected. ============================================================ Starboost Armor (Earth-38264) Kind: item Page: Starboost Armor (Earth-38264) Formal name: Starboost Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers (video game) Created by: Shaun Escayg; Morgan W.

It was meant to make human soldiers obsolete but he could never crack the interface. That was until he saved the life of Tony Stark from an attempted assassination by the Ten Rings terrorist group. In return for saving his life, Tony helped Erik build his drone with the use of J.A.R.V.I.S as the Operating System and Vibranium, melted down from Erik's necklace, as a self-sustaining energy source.; When Tony found out that Erik had killed his friend James Rhodes and tried to frame it on the Wakandans, he used the Liberator drone to try and kill Erik but failed and ended up being killed by Erik himself. The drones and the rest of Stark Industries's assets were seized by General Thaddeus Ross in the name of the US Military and used in an attempted invasion of Wakanda, since they still believed them to be the murderers of Stark and Rhodes. The Wakandan army, the Dora Milaje, had quickly disposed of the drones in the name of their fallen Prince T'Challa, who had also been killed by Erik Killmonger. ============================================================ SSSC Rite of Passage (Earth-24825) Kind: item Page: SSSC Rite of Passage Formal name: SSSC Rite of Passage Type: Technology First appearance: G.O.D.S.

After the founding of New Korbin, there was a line of aliens and Korbinites all attempting to lift Stormbreaker. When asked what was going on Beta Ray Bill said, "It is the will of my people. Once we settled this world there was no longer the need for a protector. Exception was taken to the godly power I possessed. Such is gratitude. So I gave in to the will of the masses, and surrendered my hammer to the populace. Now Stormbreaker is offered to anyone worthy of its enchantment. That's how it works, you know. They line up every day, each believing himself to be the one who will lift the hammer". The Lady Sif then asks "But none ever has?" and Bill replies "No. But they keep trying." Gladiator later attempted to hold Stormbreaker, but was unable to do so.; Power of Recall: When Bill throws the hammer, it returns to his hand with irresistible force. In the same way, he can summon it to himself even if it has not been thrown.; Transformation: By stamping Stormbreaker Beta Ray Bill can revert to his mortal human form, Simon Walters, dressed in whichever clothes he last wore in that form. Then, by stamping his fist, Bill turns back into his superhuman form, and he has the hammer.; Force Projection: Being a hammer, Stormbreaker can be used as a blunt force melee weapon or as a throwing weapon. It appears that Stormbreaker has the same attributes as Mjolnir, and it can absorb, magnify, and return almost any type of force. By itself, the hammer can create ground tremors, when struck against the ground, or whirlwinds, when swung around.; Flight: By throwing Stormbreaker and gripping its strap, Beta Ray Bill can fly.; Energy Manipulation: He can also use it to project powerful concussive blasts of mystical energy. It magically enables the Bill to survive the adverse conditions of outer space, including its lack of oxygen. He can also use it to absorb any energies from external sources or from other energy beings.; Weather Manipulation: Just like Thor he could manipulate the weather, summoning powerful lightning and storms powerful to block out the sun and injure Fenris the Wolf.; Portal Creation: When swung at a particular pitch the hammer can open a portal to any desired dimension, such as Asgard.; Energy Sensing: The hammer can detect most types of energy. It reacts particularly strongly to evil psychic energy. Notes: There's a continuity error regarding Bill wielding Stormbreaker in the Reckoning War. Stormbreaker was previously destroyed by Thor, while Bill acquired the Twilight Sword as a replacement. However, Stormbreaker was reforged off-panel at some point later. However, this was possibly due to the reality altering aftermath of the battle between the Asgardians and Elder Gods. History: ===Origin===; Stormbreaker came into creation following the fight between Thor and Beta Ray Bill at Skartheim. After the battle, Bill began to feel guilt over his victory, now feeling that Mjolnir was the Odinson's by right. In a compromise, as Bill had fairly won the battle, Odin had the Dwarves of Nidavellir create a new hammer made for the cyborg Korbonite warrior, crafted from the same Uru metal as Mjolnir. With the assistance of Eitri and other dwarf blacksmiths, they forged Stormbreaker.; Following a battle against Surtur's demon army, Odin then bestowed upon it another enchantment: by striking the hammer down on the ground, Bill was able to return to his true, mortal Korbinite self. This in turn took away the '60 second rule' from Mjolnir, though it is never made quite clear if Stormbreaker has the same rule as well.; For a brief period of time, Stormbreaker and Bill became endowed with cosmic powers, given to them by the Silver Surfer, as a means to save Bill's life. This physically changed the hammer's appearance to that of an axe-like weapon with a hole in the center. This outside power source was necessary, for Yggdrasill was failing at the time, and the power of the Odinforce would not be around to sustain Bill's powers in the near future.; ===Modern Age===; Under unknown circumstances, both Bill and Stormbreaker returned to their normal, Odinpowered appearances sometime later.; When Beta Ray Bill was captured by the Skrulls, they separated Stormbreaker into two, axe-like halves as weapon for the Super-Skrull that was sent to kill the gods of Asgard. How the Skrulls were able to circumvent the worthiness is still a mystery, but the Skrull was able to reforge the halves back into one whole weapon, hurling it towards the town of Broxton in an attempt to destroy it. After catching the hammer mere moments before it could hit the town, Thor returned Stormbreaker to its rightful once again.; During a conflict between Beta Ray Bill and Thor, who had been turned into an Herald of Galactus, Bill prevented Mjolnir from returning to its bearer's hand. Seeing no options to reach an agreement, Thor called Stormbreaker and destroyed it by hitting it against Mjolnir.; After Thor came to his senses, he appointed Bill as his advisor and gave him unrestricted access to Asgard's armory as an apology for the loss of Stormbreaker. However, Bill struggled to defend Asgard without Stormbreaker and fell further deep into depression when he was unable to transform back into his unaltered form without it. He eventually acquired the Twilight Sword to replace Stormbreaker, which also restored his ability to transform.; As a result of the battle between the Asgardians and Utgard-Gods, the Asgardians were erased from history and the world's memories of Thor were replaced by Bill in this rewritten reality, which also made Stormbreaker to be restored and returned to Bill's possession. Bill carried Stormbreaker during the Council of Storm Gods at Hjem Spíti, wielding it after opposing the other Storm Gods' decision to ally themselves with Hadad. However they were attacked by Hadad with the Black Winters under his control, urging Bill to fight them. Bill then participated alongside other heroes in the battle against the new Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Doom, but during the fight he got knocked out and lost his grip on Stormbreaker. The Thing grabbed hold of Stormbreaker, and being deemed worthy, he wielded it against Doom.; While leading the Defenders of Light against the forces of the Queen in Black, Hela, Bill wielded Stormbreaker and Twilight together while battling against Tyr. When Tyr attempted to parley with Bill, Stormbreaker summoned dimensional winds to carry them to a dimension where time stood still so the two could discuss privately.

Daredevil once kicked the armor. The Stilt-Man did not feel the kick, but Daredevil injured his leg. A collision between the armor and a building's wall, destroyed the wall and left the armor intact. History: ===Origin===; As a scientist, inventor, and engineer, Wilbur Day was employed by Kaxton Laboratories owned by Carl Kaxton, who invented a hydraulic ram device. Wilbur stole Kaxton's designs and used them to engineer a pair of extremely long, telescopic metal legs, which allowed him to tower high over the ground. He incorporated these hydraulic stilts into armored battlesuit, which he created for use in robberies as the professional criminal Stilt-Man.; ===Turk Barrett===; Turk Barrett later stole the Stilt-Man Suit. He offered his services to the Kingpin but was declined. The Kingpin contended that he did not employ "idiots". The original creator of the Stilt-Man armor, Wilbur Day, contacted Daredevil with knowledge of how to defeat Barrett.; ===Armor Wars===; Wilbur was one of many armored villains whose technology had been upgraded from stolen plans from Stark Industries. He was defeated by Iron Man when Tony threw one of his own hydraulic legs at him, knocking him out.; ===Christine Cord===; After Christine Cord was let out of jail, she decided to pay her debt in another way: by joining the newest incarnation of the New Warriors consisting of de-powered Mutants after M-Day. After being given a version of Stilt-Man's armor, she took up the codename Longstrike, and began training with the team which included her brother. However, on one of the team's first missions to stop the Zodiac, she got too cocky when fighting Cancer and was brutally killed in front of the rest of the team.; ===Lady Stilt-Man===; Lady Stilt-Man origin and identity still remain a mystery. She uses a version of the Stilt-Man Suit. Deadpool defeated her by removing a manhole cover, causing one of her legs to fall in, and her other to step onto a high heel attached to the top of a truck. She doesn't appear to be connected to any of the other Stilt-Men. She is, however, clumsy and uncoordinated, and Spider-Man himself said that she was trying too hard.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Episode; On Earth-199999, the Stilt-Man Armor was one of the many inventions created by Melvin Potter. Kaxton Industries is also mentioned on one of Potter's blades. Marvel's Daredevil Season 1 13; On Earth-534834, the Stilt-Man Armor was based on Tony Stark's Iron Man tech.

She considered the weapon to be specially powerful and used it to shot Ulik, the powerful Rock Troll warrior, while he was fighting Nile's Asgardian allies. She had assumed that any living being would be defeated by the stasis effect, but the non-natural Ulik resisted it, being only stunned. Thor Odinson eventually defeated Ulik, but he admitted that he would have failed if it hadn't been for Nile's stasis gun. He then collapsed an empty building on the opening of a tunnel used by the Trolls, and asked Nile to melt the wreckage using her gun, which she did.; Soon afterward, Tana Nile joined Thor Odinson and other friends to attack the slavers at Golden Star. Nile used her gun to great effect during the battle, but the item eventually lost its charge and, instead of shooting a beam, it only shot harmless sparkles. Nile then resorted to her melee skills for the reminder of the skirmish. ============================================================ Stormcaster Kind: item Page: Stormcaster Formal name: Stormcaster Other aliases: Stormbringer Type: Hammer First appearance: X-Men Annual Vol 1 9 Created by: Chris Claremont; Arthur Adams Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Loki Place of creation: Asgard Previous owners: Storm (Ororo Munroe) Properties: Stormcaster's powers are very similar to Mjolnir's. History: Stormcaster is a hammer created by Loki, which was presented to Ororo Munroe. When she picked up the hammer, Ororo gained access to divine power, much like the power of Thor, and became the Goddess of Thunder. She gave up the hammer, when she realized that Loki manipulated her.; Several years later, Ororo once again got the Stormcaster from Thor. She again became the Goddess of Thunder, but in a fight with Thor, she used Mjolnir to destroy it. Despite the hammer's destruction, it reappeared in the ruins of Old Asgard not too long afterwards. Awakened by the prayers of Storm's foster mother Ainet Mwangi that her daughter was given the power of divinity, the hammer returned to Earth and reunited with Storm. After Storm used the Stormcaster to defeat the malignant god responsible for Ainet's death, Uovu, the hammer turned to dust, having fulfilled its objective. ============================================================ Stark Solutions X-51 Stealth Infiltrator Armor (Earth-904913) Kind: item Page: Stark Solutions X-51 Stealth Infiltrator Armor Formal name: Stark Solutions X-51 Stealth Infiltrator Armor Other aliases: Rescue Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 2 24 Created by: Sean McKeever; Julien Magnat Reality: Earth-904913 Origin: Created by Tony Stark for Pepper Potts.

The color of Rescue's repulsors are bright purple.; Unibeam: This is a stronger version of her repulsors which is emitted from power source on the chest. It can destroy or overwhelm almost anything in its path.; Energy Bombs: Also called "laser grenades" by Pepper Potts. They are fired from the shoulders and the arms.; Stealth Mode: Just like the Stealth Armor , the Rescue Armor has a stealth mode equipped inside it. It can turn invisible to the human eye and most scanners but drains a lot of energy and requires a sufficient power to keep the stealth mode on.; Comm Systems: Its communication systems allow it to talk to the user of the Armory computer terminal or another armor such as Iron Man or War Machine.; Voice Filter: It has a voice modulator to protect her secret identity.; Sensor Systems: It has sensors that can scan energy signatures or warn the user of incoming danger.; Onboard Computer: The Rescue Armor uses the same operating system that Iron Man uses.; Holographic Screen: Rescue can project a visual interpretation from her chest power source of whatever her armor system visualizes, including communications.; The uni-beam, repulsors and jets emissions are hot pink instead of blue.

In some episodes, Pepper did well in battles and Tony finally decided to make Pepper her own armor.; Before going to face the Mandarin in the tenth ring's temple in China, Tony surprised Pepper with this new suit and she was ecstatic. While Tony was explaining the safety protocols, she put it on and tested it out in the sky. Tony and Rhodey suited up to make sure she doesn't do anything reckless. They explained the new armor's capabilities until Tony's satellite detected Mandarin's rings. This is Pepper's first time to use the armor in the field of combat. The three went off to face him in China. They put up a good fight, but in the end, Gene Khan has acquired all ten rings, giving him ultimate power over everything, then he teleports away. Pepper starts calling herself "Rescue", due to the fact that she always rescues her two friends from danger. They all agree with the new name. ============================================================ Stark Suit (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Stark Suit Formal name: Stark Suit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Ultimate Avengers Vol 1 3 Created by: Mark Millar; Carlos Pacheco Reality: Earth-1610 Origin: Technology Additional designers: S.H.I.E.L.D. Previous owners: Punisher; Black Widow (Monica Chang) Notes: Although the suit is designed with Stark technology, it is undetermined if Antonio, Howard, Gregory Stark or all of them are designers of the suit.; Although the Stark Suit is durable, Ghost Rider was able to rip and damage it. History: Nick Fury describes the Stark Suit as a "bodysuit to give you skills you never dreamed of." Frank Castle was specifically outfitted with a unique Stark Suit by the Avengers.; The suit is bulletproof and also concealed Castle's identity. At the time, Frank was presented as the "Captain America" for the new team. The Black Widow could reportedly run speeds of 110 mph in her Stark Suit. However, Frank Castle noted that he can attain speeds of 125 miles per hour..; Castle later abandoned his Stark Suit when he left the team. ============================================================ Stasis Arc Kind: item Page: Stasis Arc Formal name: Stasis Arc Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 55 Created by: Bill Mantlo; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Place of destruction: Blue Area of the Moon Current owner: Stranger History: In the Blue Area of the Moon, the Stranger trapped Adam Warlock in a field created by his Stasis Arcs, which were then inadvertently severed by the Stranger himself while he was fighting against Spider-Man. ============================================================ Stealth Armor (Earth-904913) Kind: item Page: Stealth Armor (Earth-904913) Formal name: Stealth Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 1 12 Created by: Stéphane Juffé; Brandon Auman Reality: Earth-904913 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: The Armory Current owner: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: Superhuman Strength: It increases the wearer's strength to immense levels, allowing him to lift massive weights.

The armor could even dampen the sound of his boot jet thrusters.; Magnetic Manipulation: The armor can manipulate magnetism to repel metal objects.; Hacking: It can use it hands to access doors to open.; Flare Launchers: It can launch flares from the back.; Power Usage: It would appear the stealth capability severely drains its power over a short period of time, if using for a long time. He appears to have fixed this flaw when he upgraded the suit at the end of Titanium vs. Iron. History: The Stealth Armor is a variation of the Iron Man suit. Tony Stark used this armor in Field Trip to sneak into Stark Tower and investigate his father's vault, but its power cells went dead while he was still in the building. After Tony barely managed to get out without getting arrested, he and his friends arranged a school field trip to find, repair, and get the Stealth armor out of the building. It has a lot of setbacks, but the plan was a success and they got it out without getting into serious trouble.; He used the Stealth armor again in Panther's Prey to follow an A.I.M. hover transport and keep an eye out for the Black Panther without being seen. However, they were both discovered and the transport started shooting at them, resulting in the Panther being hurt and brought back to The Armory for recovery.; The armor was shown exploding by an overload in the season one finale, Tales of Suspense Part 1.; Iron Man later used a rebuilt Stealth armor to follow the Ghost when he stole his armor specs from the Armory in Ghost in the Machine. But he failed and the Ghost got away. He later found him and, enraged, beat him down. But Ghost delivers an ultimatum, destroy him and everyone knows Iron Man's true identity, which he is planning to do once he turns 18 and takes over Stark International. Iron Man lets him go.; The Stealth Armor designs are used in creation of the Shockwave Armor used by one of the Guardsmen.; After his first scuffle with Titanium Man, he upgrades the Stealth Armor to be as powerful as the Mark II armor.; Pepper Potts used the Stealth Armor remotely in Hostile Takeover which later resulted in the suit's destruction.; In Doomsday, Pepper actually pilots the rebuilt Stealth Armor as opposed to remote-controlling it. She helps fend off chaos in New York City caused by portals appearing all over the world along with War Machine. Pepper proves to be a good pilot when out in the field.; In The Dragonseed, a cameo appearance was made, showing that it had been destroyed after Pepper's last piloted battle, which lead Tony to build Pepper her own suit of armor (the Rescue Armor). This armor is basically re-colored and upgraded version of the Stealth Armor. ============================================================ Stark Sonic Cannon (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Stark Sonic Cannon Formal name: Stark Sonic Cannon Type: Sonic Weapon First appearance: The Incredible Hulk (2008 film) Created by: Zak Penn Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Technology Lead designer: AccuTech Additional designers: Stark Industries Current owner: United States Army; War Machine; United States Department of Damage Control; O.X.E. Previous owners: Iron Man; Mysterio; Samuel Sterns Alternate owners: Ultron Properties: A creation of Stark Industries, the sonic cannons were developed to be a form of non-lethal anti-personnel weapon, capable of crowd control or non-lethal attacks on enemy armies. The cannons produce a focused field of intense sound waves that immobilize enemies by overloading their sense of hearing. On its highest settings the cannon fires an extremely narrow, focused field so intense that it causes visible ripples in the air and has enough striking force to knock a large assailant like the Hulk off balance. Notes: There is a miniature sonic cannon on the War Machine Armor. History: The Sonic Cannon is a type of non-lethal anti-personnel weapon developed by AccuTech, a subsidiary of Stark Industries.; It is capable of admitting an extremely intense, focused field of compressed sound waves that can disable most assailants. A pair were used by the United States Army during an attempt to capture the Hulk at Culver University. In their ongoing military operations to locate and capture the Hulk, the US military acquired a pair of sonic cannon outfitted Humvees from Stark Industries, in hopes that the cannons would be sufficient to subdue an enraged Hulk. During an operation to capture Banner at Culver University, General Ross gave the order to use the cannons on a rampaging Hulk. While initially successful at immobilizing the Hulk, he was able to escape by destroying one from a distance and jumping out of the other's range. ============================================================ Stark Tech Airborne Nano-Camera Kind: item Page: Stark Tech Airborne Nano-Camera Formal name: Stark Tech Airborne Nano-Camera Other aliases: A.N.C.

Properties: The Stark Sentinels had the capability to counter their target's strengths, and bathe them in Pym Particles to shrink them and hold their target prisoner within themselves. However, as the Stark Sentinels were derived from Tony Stark's files on superheroes, they were not able to counter most supervillains. The Stark Sentinels can use both Repulsor weaponry and lasers from the eyes. Notes: In the averted future of Earth-13044, Sentinels similar to these are seen in the Red Skull's regime, oppressing mutants. History: Under the influence of the Red Skull, Tony Stark designed a model of Sentinels based on the lingering knowledge in his brain of different super heroes which he had acquired after the Civil War. The villain also used his powers to tamper Stark's memories so he didn't even remember creating these Sentinels.; When the Red Skull became the Red Onslaught, and the Avengers arrived to Genosha to stop him, he deployed the Stark Sentinels. The Stark Sentinels managed to take down every hero but Iron Man, who was saved at the last minute by a gang of super villains gathered by Magneto. A Sentinel was finished off by the Absorbing Man after absorbing its Adamantium coat, and the other one was destroyed after the Red Skull was defeated once the Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom cast an inversion spell. All the heroes held prisoners inside the Sentinels then were broken free.; One of the Stark Sentinels was retrieved by A.I.M., who attempted to access its database. They were interrupted by the Descendants, who wanted the Stark Sentinel to join their ranks. In the end, the Stark Sentinel was deactivated when the Avengers arrived to the scene to confiscate the robot and Hank Pym used a neural inhibitor to shut it and the Descendants down. ============================================================ Stealth Armor (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Stealth Armor (Earth-12041) Formal name: Stealth Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers Assemble Season 1 25 Created by: Jeff Allen Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Iron Man (Tony Stark) Current owner: Iron Man (Tony Stark) Model: 1 Version: 1 ============================================================ Starkbook (Earth-91119) Kind: item Page: Starkbook Formal name: Starkbook Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Super Hero Squad Online Created by: Gazillion Entertainment Reality: Earth-91119 Origin: Social network Trivia: Starkbook is a parody of Facebook.

The suit also offers protection from radiation. History: ===Origin===; Oceanographer Dr. Walter Newell designed a unique suit for deep sea exploration. He took the name Stingray after basing some of its design on manta rays. He was ordered by Edgar Benton to bring Namor in to investigate the disappearance of water from Earth's oceans.; Newell's suit was targeted by Iron Man during the Armor Wars until Stark had finally determined his suit did not contain any stolen Stark Industries technology.; When Newell joined Deadpool's Heroes for Hire, modified the suit to resemble Deadpool's Suit. ============================================================ Stone of Power Kind: item Page: Stone of Power Formal name: Stone of Power Other aliases: Dreams Weaver Type: Stone First appearance: Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 12 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Ron Wilson Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Prester John History: The Stone of Power was an object of great power that was passed from generation to generation among a band of Bedouins who lived somewhere in the Middle East. When this tribe discovered the mystic known as Prester John, they came to worship him and gave him the stone as a gift. Driven mad by the stone, he slew his followers, believing himself to be master of the universe. This ultimately led to a clash against the heroes known as the Thing and Iron Man. The pair resisted the power the stone had over them and were able to wrest it from John's hands and destroy it, restoring the Prester's mind back to normal. ============================================================ Stealth Zero Kind: item Page: Stealth Zero Formal name: Stealth Zero Type: Technology First appearance: New Avengers Vol 4 13 Created by: Al Ewing; Paco Medina Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Dr. Max Brashear Place of creation: Avenger Base Two, Savage Land Current owner: A.I.M. Properties: The pods that compose Stealth Zero encased in anti-grav unit ceramic panels that negate the weight of their cargo. A polymer coating makes the pods effectively frictionless and radar-invisible. History: The Stealth Zero were a pair of pods connected to a harness which was worn by Cannonball with the purpose of allowing him propel other people together with him for long distances. It was first used when A.I.M.'s Supreme Leader Roberto Da Costa sent Cannonball, Power Man and Max Brashear to rescue Songbird from captivity at the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. ============================================================ Stasis Gun (Doctor Doom) Kind: item Page: Stasis Gun (Doctor Doom) Formal name: Stasis Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 3 Created by: Jim Shooter; George Evans Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of destruction: Hydrobase Previous owners: Doctor Doom; Sub-Mariner History: This rifle-like metallic weapon with a forked barrel was built by Doctor Doom. Instead of shooting slugs, the gun shoots an energy bolt to paralyze enemies within an energy shell. Impacted victims -as the machine can hit several people at once- become prisoners, frozen in their positions and requiring no air or food, with their body functions interrupted - but they can perceive their surrounding and attempt to release themselves only once. The process takes a few seconds after the hit to be completely effective; should the shooter stop the stream before that time, the prisoners would release themselves with the energy dissipating. Otherwise, the shell will keep the prisoners immobile permanently, until it is removed by manipulating the rifle (specifically reversing the gun's polarity) or destroying it. The hull theoretically could even paralyze the Hulk. Sometimes, Doctor Doom outfits one of his Servo-Guards -only one member of a unit- with an operative unit of this device.; Doctor Doom offered an operational model of this gun to his ally Sub-Mariner so that they could attack together the Hydrobase research center, that had been captured by the Sub-Mariner's enemies Attuma; Doctor Dorcas and Tiger Shark. Doom's plan included the Sub-Mariner paralyzing these enemies while Doom himself confronted Attuma's numerous troops; then, once the Sub-Mariner had succeeded, he could join Doom. However, once the Sub-Mariner shot his enemies, he found that this defenselessness was unsatisfactory and, for purposes of avenging properly, the Sub-Mariner destroyed the rifle, releasing his foes so that he could confront them fairly. While the Sub-Mariner succeeded, he took more time than expected and put in danger both Doom and Attuma's prisoners.; While the Sub-Mariner destroyed the original stasis gun, Doom may have had manufactured more units and kept them at Castle Doom armories. ============================================================ StarkVision Glasses Kind: item Page: StarkVision Glasses Formal name: StarkVision Glasses Type: Visor; Technology First appearance: Iron Man Experience Created by: Ted Robledo; Steven Spiegel; Patrick Keary; Walt Disney Imagineering Origin: Technology Lead designer: Iron Man (Tony Stark) Additional designers: Stark Industries Current owner: Stark Industries Material: Glass Notes: The StarkVision Glasses act as 3D glasses during the Iron Man Experience at Hong Kong Disneyland.

Silva Origin: Technology from a dystopian future Lead designer: Earth-TRN657 Current owner: Beast Previous owners: Cerebra Model: Unique Properties: The Stealth Cyber Gear's main application is a remote cyberpathic connection to most any and all technological and digital mechanization via wireless uplink. An individual uses this implant to mentally dive into whatever cybernetic system they focus on in order to gain access to it, to assume operative control and fix most any appliance they focus on with their mind, thus giving its wearer pseudo-technopathic abilities.; Another augmentation the device offers its host is the ability to broaden ones awareness of their surroundings, as Hank was able to discern that the Massachusetts Academy owned by the Generation X faculty was in fact a fabrication brought on by the Danger Room's holographic projection display. He even copied and assimilated the technology in Magneto's time panel device to use it as a makeshift dimensional transport device, having used it to bring the X-Men of differing time periods back with him to aid in their fight against the future Brotherhood. History: In a dystopian reality, the X-Men had a run in with the X-Men of 2099. The mutant Cerebra utilized this wireless interfacing technology in her outlaw freedom fighter escapades. When the X-Men's time platform device had all but broken down, Shakti managed to get it back up and running with help from the marvelous device.; After they came under attack by an Onslaught Sentinel, Cerebra bequeathed Beast her Stealth Cyber Gear in order to help him undo the horrible future she lived in, which disturbances in the timestream had brought about.; Arriving in another point in time of the same dystopia, Beast went to work with his new tech to fix his time panel apparatus yet again, only to discover the state of the X-Mansion that Banshee and the White Queen invited them into was in fact a Danger Room construct, before returning to their original timeline.; There they found the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants being massacred, seemingly by another team of X-Men; however, when their ruse was revealed, the Brotherhood dropped the facade and went on a full scale assault upon the real X-Men.

He went towards the Tower of Dagoth, believing Blondine (his uncle's "housekeeper", and the reincarnation of a high priestess of Dagoth in Kalumesh) and the villagers were robbing the estate. There, he stumbled over a giant jewel, the Starstone, which had been uncovered by torrential rains.

This may be because each were magical blades with strong associations to Merlyn. Additionally, the Sword of Might was usually lodged in a stone when presented to potential Captain Britains, while the Black Knight occasionally drew the Ebony Blade from stone as well. However, it has been confirmed that these are indeed three different and distinct swords.

This left an embittered Kelsey to be taken in and trained by Albion, a villainous Captain Britain who also chose the path of the sword. Ultimately, Kelsey betrayed Albion to save the United Kingdom. She also seemingly chose to relinquish her powers and was finally reunited with her children.; During the Skrull invasion of Earth, Skrulls raided Otherworld stealing the Amulet of Right, the Sword of Might, and the Holy Grail.

Their attempts were met with varying success.; But Dr. Erskine had defected to the United States of America, with the help of Nick Fury, taking his work, with him. In the summer of 1941, his Jewish ancestry was discovered, by the Red Skull, who had ordered Schmitt to be taken to a concentration camp.; Imprisoned, by the Nazis and dying, Schmitt asked Brian Falsworth to keep the sample of the Super-Soldier formula he had concealed on his person from falling into Nazi hands. Falsworth took the disguised flask, drank its contents, and was immediately enhanced by the Super-Soldier formula. Falsworth escaped the prison and became a costumed fighter of Nazis within Germany itself known as the Destroyer.; Wilhelm Lohmer/Master Man was subjected to the Nazi version of the Super-Soldier Serum. Although the formula was a derivative of the original Super-Soldier Serum that, gave Captain America his powers, but Lohmer had gained powers exceeding that, of Captain America's.; ===Operation: Rebirth===; In the states; Dr. Erskine developed the first "Super-Soldier Serum" as part of a top-secret US Government experiment called Operation: Rebirth. He was now code-named "Professor Reinstein" to hide his identity.; The first and the most successful recipient of the Super-Soldier Serum was Steve Rogers. Selected, by General Chester Phillips of the U.S. Army to undergo testing, Rogers was at last administered the Super-Soldier Serum. Given part of the compound intravenously and another part orally, Rogers was then bombarded by "vita-rays," a special combination of exotic (in 1941) wavelengths of radiation designed to accelerate and stabilize the serum's effect on his body. Steve Rogers emerged from the Vita-Ray Chamber with an enhanced body as perfect as a body can be. A Nazi spy who observed the experiment murdered Dr. Erskine mere minutes after its conclusion. Erskine died without fully committing the Super-Soldier formula to paper, leaving Steve Rogers the sole beneficiary of his genius.; ===Attempt to Reproduce Rebirth===; Since 1941 more than 500 known attempts have tried to create another super-soldier comparable to Captain America. Fewer than ten subjects are alive. Nations nonetheless so value super-soldiers that "enhanced military" is exempt from a United Nations ban on "extra-powered beings"' use in foreign operations.; After losing the secrets of the Super-Soldier Serum with the death of Erskine, the United States Army wanted to produce more super-soldiers like Rogers. Col. Walker Price and Dr. Wilfred Nagel forcibly recruited Isaiah and 300 other African-American soldiers to serve as test subjects to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum. To keep the operation secret, families were sent letters informing them of the soldiers' deaths; however, Faith refused to accept Isaiah's death, and continued to look for the truth.; Of the 300 African American soldiers, only a handful of men survived the gruesome process. These survivors became a covert black ops team. After only a few missions, only Isaiah, Maurice Canfield and Sgt. Luke Evans remained. While waiting in Sintra, Portugal for the arrival of Captain America, Maurice discovered the truth about his parents' death. Enraged by the information, coupled with PTSD and an exaggerated thyroid gland, Maurice was led into a confrontation resulting in his death, the death of Sgt. Evans, and the severe injury of Isaiah and Pvt. Merritt.; The U.S. military began experiments to duplicate Isaiah's powers. To this end, they harvested blood from Isaiah (before the Super-Soldier Serum made him super durable). Thirty-eight failed attempts occurred before Josiah was finally carried to term. A young African American girl matching Faith's blood type served as a surrogate mother, but when she discovered the truth about what the child would be used for, she escaped with Josiah.; ===Black Widow Ops Program===; The Soviet Union created a program named Black Widow Ops. Natasha Romanoff was one of the infant females that received a special treatment designed by a biochemist Dr. Lyudmila Kudrin. Kudrin created the female version of Super-Soldier Serum to enhance their immune system, lifespan, and physical attributes.; ===Project: Sentry===; An attempt at recreating the Super-Soldier Serum magnifying its effects a thousand times over begun in March of 1947 as part of a joint American/Canadian government operation. The end result was the Golden Sentry Serum, which was ingested by a meth addict named Robert Reynolds who broke into a laboratory containing the formula in search for drugs. He consumed the compound intending to get high and obtained remarkable solar-based superhuman abilities. All samples of the serum were destroyed afterwards, and the program was shut down since the project's personnel were terrified of the unprecedented effect of the serum's unauthorized use and the implication that Reynolds could share the power with others.; ===Grand Director===; In 1953 the man who would become the Grand Director flew to Germany, and examined the files of Major Kerfoot, a Nazi espionage officer in the SS. He discovered that the papers contained the original Super-Soldier formula. He revealed his discovery to certain high officials in the US government and made a deal whereby he would become the new Captain America, and act as a symbol during the Korean War. How the original Super-Soldier formula came to be in the possession of the Nazis is unknown, especially as Erskine died without fully committing the Super-Soldier formula to paper.; ===Power Man Process===; Dr. Noah Burstein created the Electro-Biochemical System. It was based on his father's work who was a Nazi scientist working on duplicating the Super-Soldier Serum. The Electro Bio-Chemical system was created to stimulate human cell regeneration. He created it to heal any wound, cure any disease and even halt the aging process. The project was funded by a grant from Stark Industries.; His first subject was when he worked for the United States Army as a surgeon in Vietnam where his experiments produced the C.I.A. operative Warhawk.; Later looking for test subjects at Seagate Prison, he recruited Carl Lucas as a volunteer for experimental cell regeneration based on a variant of the Super-Soldier process, he had previously used to empower Warhawk. Dr. Burstein immersed Lucas in an electrical field conducted by an organic chemical compound; when he left Lucas unattended, prison guard Albert Rackham misused the experiment's controls, hoping to maim or kill Lucas. Lucas's treatment was accelerated past its intent, inducing body-wide enhancement that gave him superhuman strength and durability.; Bushmaster kidnapped Dr Burstein. Bushmaster forced Burstein to mutate him as he had Cage, but was nonetheless defeated and soon became paralyzed by the process. Bushmaster later died when he was turned into a metal-like substance after his last-ditch effort to find a cure by reversing the process that gave Cage his powers failed, reverting to a permanently-immobilized statue. Cruz McIver, the son of Bushmaster, after he was confident that the process wouldn't kill him like the other subjects, augmented himself using his father, but his plan backfired and only granted more power to his father who, in turn, used that power to kill his own son and also drain Iron Fist of his powers. However, the absorption and accumulation of so much power was too great for Bushmaster and he exploded as a result.; ===Anti-Cap===; The Navy was attempting to make its own version of Captain America using the 'AVX' patch (Acetovaxidol). Loosely based on the process Luke Cage underwent, it was hoped that continued applications of the patch would be a more controllable dosage and keep the subject from going rogue. Unfortunately, the process seemed to aggravate Anti-Cap's mental problems.; ===Patriot===; Patriot (Elijah Bradley) leader of the Young Avengers, was the nephew of Josiah X and grandson of Isaiah Bradley. He claimed that he received a blood transfusion from his grandfather gaining the same enhanced abilities. But in truth he was using the Mutant Growth Hormone. Soon the truth came out and he quit the team. But he came to the rescue of his friends during the subsequent battle between the Kree and the Skrull forces, the Young Avengers and the New Avengers, Patriot used himself to shield Captain America from gunfire, and was severely injured. After the battle Captain America rushed to the hospital to give Eli a blood transfusion only to discover "another Captain America", Eli's grandfather, had already given Eli his blood. Since the transfusion, Eli has gained physical attributes and powers of a real Super Soldier.; ===Jacob Erskine===; Dr. Jacob Erskine, the grandson of Dr. Abraham Erskine, tried to use the Super-Soldier Serum to cure cancer.; ===American Kaiju===; Todd Ziller was a volunteer in the new super-soldier process. They could not recreate the serum, so the Army used existing transformative substances. The final result included Gamma enhancements, Mutant Growth Hormone, Pym Particles, and the Connors Formula. The resulting application of the serum in Ziller's body turned him into a giant reptile similar to Godzilla, for which he was given the alias of "American Kaiju."; ===Alchemax Variants===; Alchemax later developed a "new and improved" Super-Soldier Serum and began kidnapping vagrant children to test it on. This resulted in young powered individuals like Aaron Fischer (Captain America of the Railways) and Willow-Wisp, as well as death for other captives.; ==Powers==; The most common power granted by the Super-Soldier Serum is that of peak human potential. This means that the individual is stronger, faster, and more durable than the finest human athletes. They are capable of lifting around 800 pounds over their heads, running at speeds of 30 mph or possibly more, and due to the Super-Soldier Serum's ability to counteract the lactic acids in the muscles that cause fatigue, allowing individuals to maintain strenuous physical activity for up to 12 hours on end before tiring. For example, a policeman stated Josiah's stamina allowed him to "almost never [tire]." The Super-Soldier Serum increases the individual's metabolism, allowing them to heal faster than normal humans. The Super-Soldier Serum also increases the individual's durability, enabling them to withstand falls from several stories high, gunshots, etc. The Super-Soldier Serum also grants individuals immunity to any disease, illness, and poison known to man due to their bodies' ability to process it faster than the effects can cause harm to their body. This includes most known drugs and alcohol which has no effect on the Super-Soldier Serum recipient; for instance, Steve Rogers stated that his enhanced metabolism does not allow him to get drunk.; The Super-Soldier Serum can also affects the brain, allowing individuals to retain and recall any information they take in, such as Captain America, who possesses enhanced mind and is capable of remembering any military tactic and can apply it to any situation. The Super-Soldier Serum increases the individual's reflexes beyond those of normal humans and non-enhanced peak humans. For example, Black Widow was able to dodge gunfire from Rapido's cybernetic arm. The Super-Soldier Serum dramatically prevents individuals from aging due to the regeneration of healthy cells. For instance, Dr. Kudrin has stated that Natasha "don't age as fast."; == Alternate Realities ==; === Earth-138 ===; On a punk rock-themed reality of Earth-138, Karl Morningdew was injected with Super-Insurgent Serum to become Captain Anarchy.; === Weapon X Maverick's home world (Earth-1287) ===; Within this universe of its deceased David North, an alternative version of the Super-Soldier Serum had been developed by the harsh world's governmental science divisions conglomerated into a massive think tank. The item of interest was clearly a superior product from most other Earth iterations given that it not only gave vastly enhanced physical anatomies but granted varied superpowers to anyone who ingested it. This came at the cost of severe physiological structural breakdown causing the taker of which to violently explode. Hence the motto many soldiers in the service of the alien incursion earth's defense forces "When it comes your time to die, sing your death song and die like a hero going home." in short it grants one phenomenal superhuman capabilities at the cost of one's life which relates to a couple of weeks to a few months at most. A Brazilian mutant in the reluctant service of a criminal arms dealer by the name of Volga used his powers for the theft and allocation of weapons-tech across the infinite realities on his employer's behalf. When he first presented this product to the billionaire weapons enthusiast, he couldn't help but be over eager to field test its effects to ascertain more sizable profit margins for his business, naturally doing first troubleshooting upon the latter's own family with which he forced the former's servitude. After a few years of off the record experimentation with the serum dubbed by many as the Volga Effect which weaponizes the mutant genome in order to bestow more stabilized, albeit still viciously self-destructive superpowers upon anybody who intakes it.; === Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610) ===; The Ultimate line simplifies many random elements by having many of the world's superheroes connected to Captain America's Super-Soldier Serum in some form or another. The Hulk was accidentally created while Dr. Bruce Banner was trying to recreate the serum, Norman Osborn accidentally created Spider-Man while attempting the same thing with the Oz Formula, which later mutated him into the Goblin. Weapon X and the entire mutant race were created as the Canadian response to the serum, and so on, resulting in international Super Soldier escalation and treaties being proposed to curb it. Several Spider-Man rogues were subjects of secret, illegal Super Soldier experiments. Captain America's illegitimate son with Gail Richards was born with the serum in his DNA. After his father's presumed death during WWII and taken from his mother, the son is raised on an army base where he appears to be a well-adjusted, physically superior and tactically brilliant young man who greatly resembles his father. However, his easy-going personality was a ruse. Around the age of seventeen, he kills over 200 men on the base and then cuts off his own face which leaves a "Red Skull" to reject his father. Lieberman was another person subjected to the serum, but on a night out he was involved in a fire scene and bravely rescued fifty-seven fire victims, but after saving them, he suddenly died. His body was taken back to the Triskelion and privately examined in which the cause of his death was determined to be due to his nervous system collapsing from the strain of the Super-Soldier Serum. However, Lieberman's ascension to become (and replace) Captain America and his sudden death wasn't the first time that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been trying to replicate Super-Soldiers like Captain America, and that several other candidates like Lieberman perished with similar results. Furious at the invasion of Iraq by American Super-Soldiers, scrawny Irani teenager Abdul Al-Rahman volunteered to undergo medical treatments to gain superhuman abilities that would allow him to strike back at America. The treatments were successful, and Al-Rahman rapidly gained muscle mass and an athletic physique. He was the first person since Steve Rogers to be positively responsive to the Super-Soldier Serum.; === The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (Earth-8096) ===; In this universe Steve Rogers was recruited to join the Super Soldier Program, due to unbreakable fighting spirit and strong will. Through the Super-Soldier Serum, created by Dr. Abraham Erskine soldier Steve Rogers was transformed into Captain America.; === Spider-Man (1994 animated series) (Earth-92131) ===; In this universe, the Super-Soldier formula created Captain America and was destroyed by Nazi spies. However, other scientists were able to create an imperfect version of the serum. Thus, each of five volunteers were affected differently, with their own unique powers which were very different from Captain America's. Also, their powers weren't permanent, and they were forced to ration their powers with keys. The five volunteers and Captain America formed the Six American Warriors. As a 13-year-old boy during World War II, John Hardesky was tricked by Nazis into spying on the creation of Captain America, memorizing the formula used to create him. However, he then realized that he had been tricked and refused to reveal the formula to the Red Skull, fleeing. Hardesky grew up to be the Cat, a highly experienced burglar. He also fathered a daughter named Felicia. When he was caught in the midst of a jewel theft, the Cat was incarcerated in S.H.I.E.L.D., partly to protect his knowledge of the Super-Soldier formula. Years later, he was abducted from custody by the Kingpin, who attempted to force him into revealing the formula. Hardesky did so after the crime lord kidnapped his daughter, and the recreated serum was tested out on her. As a result, Felicia became a crimefighter known as the Black Cat, and teamed up with Spider-Man to save her father, who then allowed himself to be taken back into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody to protect his knowledge.; === Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999) ===; Dr. Abraham Erskine developed his Soldier-Soldier Serum while working in Germany. However, a Nazi General, Johann Schmidt known as Red Skull used the serum to increase his physical & mental abilities, however the formula appears to have been either prototypical or flawed, the resulting effects heavily distorted Schmidt's facial tissue and skin complexion becoming the Red Skull. Dr. Erskine later explained to Steve Rogers that the formula not only enhances the user's capabilities but also amplifies their 'key traits,' causing different features according to the user's personality, which caused Schmidt's face to mutate.; Dr. Erskine escaped to the USA, he joined the Strategic Scientific Reserve There he took part in Project Rebirth, a project to create a Super Soldier for the Allies. Using Vita-Rays to unlock the serum's potential, Dr. Erskine successfully used the Super-Soldier Serum on Steve Rogers who became the hero dubbed Captain America. Dr. Erskine was killed and the last vial of the original serum was destroyed by Heinz Kruger, one of Hydra's top agents. The last remnants of the serum now only exist in Steve's blood. Despite the success in creating a super soldier, Project Rebirth was effectively a failure, the goal of the US military was to produce an "Army" of soldiers; not just a single individual. With Rogers too valuable to risk in Frontline action, being the only guinea pig from which valuable data could be obtained, he was used by the Army as a recruitment tool, in a sense creating the very Army using regular people.; During Bucky's incarceration in a Hydra prison, he was too injected with a serum which gave him enhanced physical abilities, similarly to Captain America. This allowed him to survive the fall from the Swiss Alps. Later after being discovered by HYDRA, further enhancements, rigorous training & brainwashing has transformed him into the Winter Soldier.; In 1991, Hydra Operatives have learned that Howard Stark has recreated 5 more Super-Soldier Serum. Vasily Karpov dispatches Winter Soldier to retrieve the Super-Soldier Serum. Barnes assassinated Howard and Maria Stark. Barnes also retrieved the 5 recreated Super-Soldier Serum. Karpov recruited 5 more test subjects and injected the Super-Soldier Serum.; In the 21st century, General Ross of the US Army revived the bio-tech force enhancement program, a secret project set-up after the relative failure of Project Rebirth. A failed attempt to reproduce the serum with added bouts of Gamma Radiation led to the accident that turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk. Banner was later forced to flee from Ross, who employed the British soldier Emil Blonsky to track him down. General Ross, eager to sustain Blonsky's will to fight, gave him an injection of a similar serum, which gave him abilities similar to those of Captain America. Later combination with the altered serum in Banner's blood turned Blonsky into the Abomination.; As of 2013, scientists recreated a version of the serum as part of Project Centipede, which was designed to give a person superhuman abilities. This serum was a mixture of Gamma Radiation and the Extremis virus, with technology from the Chitauri. ============================================================ Swarmbots Kind: item Page: Swarmbots Formal name: Swarmbots Other aliases: K-series Type: Robot First appearance: Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 20 Created by: Steve Englehart; Paul Neary Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Swarmbots are tiny scarab-like multi-purpose robots designed and built by Doctor Doom. They are designed to attack as a swamp to keep enemies busy. Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Probably Doctor Doom's laboratory, Doomstadt, Latveria Current owner: Doctor Doom Properties: Known Powers:; Robotic construction: Their robotic form provides them physical protection as well as immunity to mind, emotional and illusion attacks; Self-integration: A swarmbot can combine with two other swarmbots becoming only one robot with increased powers and attributes in a matter of seconds.; Lightning: Each swarmbot can project a feeble lightning to attack enemies.; Flight: Swarmbots have rockets on their legs, allowing them a slow flight.; Interface: They are capable of speech and memory, allowing them to receive verbal orders. Some tunes can format their hard drive, while others allowed Doom to reprogram them - a trait shared by the whole K-series.; Strength Level:; Poor.; Transportation:; Rockets.; Weapons:; Integrated weapons. History: Doctor Doom developed these fragile robots to overcome enemies by numbers. They were first used on an attempt to kidnap child Franklin Richards from the Four Freedoms Plaza. Richards' family the Fantastic Four easily destroyed the robots, then assumed that the threat was over and relaxed. Several remnants of different robots then reassembled each other, cannibalizing pieces to form a new operative unit, K-137 - which then launched at maximum speed and kidnapped Richards from his mother's side. The robot was so fast that the Human Torch was unable to stop it before it RV'ed with Doom's flying vehicle over the Atlantic Ocean. Having fulfilled the mission, the robot disconnected and fell. The Torch took it away to see whether Mister Fantastic could get any information of it, but this was useless.; The Fantastic Four prepared a different plan: Doom's foster child Kristoff Vernard, who had been brainwashed to believe he was Doom and given all of Doom's memories, was the Fantastic Four's prisoner at the time. Vernard whistled a tune that activated the broken robot and ordered the robot to release him. Vernard then ordered the robot to fly him to Latveria. This was the Fantastic Four's plan: They wanted to follow Vernard to Latveria. The travel was too strenuous and the robot was obliterated when it arrived.; Doom probably has some one hundred of them on his castle on Adirondack Mountains. ============================================================ Super-Power Inhibiting Nanobots Kind: item Page: Super-Power Inhibiting Nanobots Formal name: Super-Power Inhibiting Nanobots Other aliases: SPIN; S.P.I.N. Tech; Project: Achilles Type: Technology First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 2 106 Created by: Greg Pak; Gary Frank Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Hank Pym, S.H.I.E.L.D., Initiative Place of creation: S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D.; Initiative; Jeremy Briggs; Briggs Chemical LLC History: S.H.I.E.L.D. had originally developed inhibitor collars for incarcerating prisoners at Prison 42. Working with the Initiative, S.H.I.E.L.D. succeeded in miniaturizing the devices and loading them into Adamantium-tipped darts. The S.P.I.N. darts can penetrate the epidermis of nearly any superhuman being and neutralize their abilities. They are DNA-coded and each dart is specially designed for a specific target. The production of S.P.I.N. technology costs approximately $500,000 per dart. In certain situations, special counter-agents may be applied which will reverse the S.P.I.N.-tech's effects.; They were first deployed against the She-Hulk when she broke ranks from S.H.I.E.L.D. shortly following the Civil War. Refugee mastermind Amadeus Cho discovered the means of burning nanotech out of her system. Tony Stark later armed his Hulkbuster armor with S.P.I.N. darts and used them against the Hulk when he returned to Earth at the onset of World War Hulk, though they proved completely ineffective against him. During the early days of the 50-States Initiative, War Machine provided Camp Hammond trainee Komodo with a S.P.I.N. ejection system and sent her out to sanction Boomerang, Shocker, Hydro-Man, and Spider-Man. She tried to use the weapon against Spider-Man, but he managed to outfight her and escape.; At least one sample of the S.P.I.N. technology was stolen by Hydra, with unknown consequences. ============================================================ Sword of Bone Kind: item Page: Sword of Bone Formal name: Sword of Bone Other aliases: Cornerstone of Air Type: Sword First appearance: Secret Defenders Vol 1 16 Created by: Tom Brevoort; Mike Kanterovich; Bill Wylie Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Ian McNee Previous owners: Ammut; Cadaver History: After one of her stepping discs left her and Mirage in ancient Egypt, Magik was approached by the necromancer Heka-Nut. He manipulated her into bringing the Sword of Bone to him. Illyana defeated the necromancer with her Soulsword and returned it to the goddess Ma'at.; As Agamotto's avatar, Cadaver could summon the Sword of Bone from his body.; Ian McNee recently claimed the Sword of Bone from the sphinx, Ammut, as part of his search for the four elemental cornerstones of creation. ============================================================ Sun Shredder Kind: item Page: Sun Shredder Formal name: Sun Shredder Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Thor Annual Vol 1 2000 Created by: Dan Jurgens; Jose Ladronn Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Rigellian Lead designer: Rigellians Place of creation: Rigel-3 Place of destruction: Rigel-3 Current owner: Rigellians History: The Sun Shredder is a ultimate weapon developed by the Rigellians. It is an energy beam powerful enough to tear apart the core of a star. When the Higher-Powered Thanosi and Mangog came to Rigel-3 to locate the Fire Jewel, the Rigellians used the weapon, but to no avail. ============================================================ Stun-Gun Kind: item Page: Stun-Gun Formal name: Stun-Gun Other aliases: Paladin's Stun-Gun Type: Firearm First appearance: Daredevil Vol 1 150 Created by: Jim Shooter; Carmine Infantino Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Paladin Current owner: Paladin History: Paladin carries this special stun gun, that appears to develop a beam that scrambles the signals within a target's nervous system.

Approximately 15,000 years in Earth's future, Prince Wayfinder discovered the sword and used it to save his people, transporting them millions of years back into the past to find a new home.; When it became apparent that prehistoric Earth was not the home they were seeking, the sword (which appears to be sentient) created the Microverse for them instead.; ===Destruction===; The sword apparently died after using the last of its energies to fuse Arcturus Rann and Doctor Strange into Captain Universe in order to give them the power to repair the Spacewall separating the Microverse from Earth.; ===Reforged===; After her homeworld of Tryfa was invaded by the Nillans, Mardj began looking for the legendary Sword in the Star. Just before she was about to die, she passed through the Last Door. With help from the Scarlet Witch and Polaris, Mardj found the vault that was supposed to hold the Sword in the Star, but the altar was empty. Using a combination of science and sorcery, the Scarlet Witch and Polaris cast a spell to reforge the Sword in the Star and Mardj offered up her own blood to waken the Sword. Armed with the Sword in the Star, Mardj was able to lead the last of her people and expel the Nillans from her home.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Earth-9997===; The sentience of the sword originated from the star the sword was embedded into. The star was the essence of Galactus, who was turned into a sentient star by Reed Richards. ============================================================ Stun Grenade Kind: item Page: Stun Grenade Formal name: Stun Grenade Type: Grenade First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 83 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby; Bill Everett Place of creation: United States of America Current owner: Number Nine History: A stun grenade was thrown by Number Nine at a high-level cabinet meeting of the leaders of the Secret Empire, to seize control of the organization. Being Number Nine the only one to wear protective armor beneath his robes, they all fell unconscious to the ground. ============================================================ Superior Spider-Man's Suit Kind: item Page: Superior Spider-Man's Suit Formal name: Superior Spider-Man's Suit Other aliases: Spider-Man's Costume Type: Suit First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 700 Created by: Dan Slott; Humberto Ramos Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Updated version of the Spider-Man uniform. Lead designer: Otto Octavius / "Peter Parker" Additional designers: Peter Parker (third version) Place of creation: Horizon Labs/Ock secret lab Current owner: Otto Octavius Previous owners: Peter Parker Model: 2.0 Version: 1.0 Properties: ===First Version===; Carbonadium: Octavius had added some carbonadium plating on the back of the mask to protect him from any potential mind-swap.; Talons: Octavius had added retractable sharp talons on his hands and feet, which he uses in combat against his enemies. The talons can also be used to inject nano-spiders-tracers with a GPS and listening device.; Enhanced Lenses: Octavius had also added HUD and tracking abilities added to the lenses of his mask. Damage to the mask makes the lenses darken, as if the systems shut down. The lenses were also capable of detecting radio waves, which was used by Octavius to track down wired explosives. They emitted a purplish glow when in use.; Spider Button: Octavius has also turned the spider symbol on his chest into a button that can be used to activate traps for his enemies.; ===Second Version===; The second version of the suit included the same features as the previous model, with the additions/upgrades of:; Enhanced Lenses: The lenses are now black in color.; Spider-Arms: Four mechanical spider-arms used for combat. They are seemingly based on the spider-arms from the Iron Spider Armor and/or Octavius' own arms.; Special Wrist Device: The suit features a special built-in communication device that can be used to exchange calls or to activate/control nano-spider tracers injected in a person's body. In preparation for his fight against Agent-Venom, Spider-Man swapped out the old design for an upgrade specifically tailored to combating the Symbiote. Which possess all of the previous models old functionality while sporting newer ones like flamethrowers and sonic webbing.; Talons: Carried over from his previous attire, being retractable but slightly larger and still possessing nano-spider injection ports, which have been modified to detonate, causing both paralysis and great pain.; A.I.: The suit possesses an artificial intelligence which is capable of making the suit walk by itself when Octavius is not using it to clean itself and avoid contact with other people or security cameras.; ===Third Version===; In order to convey his more aggressive mindset towards Itsy Bitsy, Peter further upgraded the version of this costume that he had in his possession and decided to use it to kill her once and for all. He also changed the lenses back to white, and added back the red gloves and boots motif of his usual outfit. The suit has an alternative name of "Heavy Assault costume". Noticeable upgrades included:; Spider-Arms: The spider-arms on Otto's version of the suit were upgraded to include a secondary claw on each arm. Furthermore, Peter added the ability to shoot lasers from the arms, comparing their power output to a "shoulder-mounted power plant" which could dissect things at an atomic level.; Web Wings: Peter added web wings to the suit, likely to help it glide more accurately.; Laser Beams: In addition to the lasers in the spider-arms, there were separate laser units that could shoot more focused lasers.; Nerve Hacking Technology: Peter added technology that could wirelessly stimulate the nervous system - he used it to beam a message into Deadpool's aural nerve.; Clear; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-2902, the suit was yellow rather than red and the black was tinted green. The spider-arms were a light green. It had regular spider-boots and included a belt. Over the lens were goggle pieces. The top of the mask was cut so Ock's trademark bowl cut could stick out.; Devil's Reign: Superior Four Vol 1 1; On Earth-6160, Otto Octavius's suit carried over more elements from Peter Parker's design, such as the torso, gloves, and having the webbing being more organized. The logo was swapped out for a white spider, similar to the one used by Richard Parker. He created the suit using Oscorp Industries technology taken from before Otto and his predecessors went underground.; Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 3 22; On Earth-13346, a grown-up Peter Parker used his love of science to create a superior spider-suit.; Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 1 200; In Earth-17628, Otto created the Superior Spider-Man suit after swapping minds with Peter, leaving his consciousness trapped in the robotic body of the Living Brain. This suits design is based on the second version of the superior suit, though the spider emblem matches that of the Iron Spider Armor from Earth-199999.; Marvel's Spider-Man (animated series); In Earth-199999, Tony Stark had designed several holographic blueprint suit schematics for Peter Parker before the former past away. One of these suit designs was the Superior Spider-Man Suit with aesthetics similar to Peter's original Stark suit.; Spider-Man: Far From Home; In Earth-41940, Otto Octavius created the original Superior Spider-Man suit to impress Mary Jane Watson. This version didn't utilize Horizon Labs technology, since Peter Parker never worked there.; Spider-Man Unlimited; In Earth-61284, Otto Octavius created the Superior Spider-Man suit to outstage Peter Parker and prove anyone could be Spider-Man. This version wasn't as form fitting and, despite being the original, used the second Earth-616 design.; Marvel Avengers Academy; In an Unknown Reality, the suit was worn by Peter Parker. Most of the red was turned black; the logo, gloves, boots, and lenses became purple; and the rim of the eyes, top of the boots, and the gauntlets were cyan.; Marvel Future Revolution; A version of Otto Octavius from an Unknown Reality who wearing the Superior Spider-Man suit was seen captured by the Spider-Society. This version of the suit utilized Doctor Octopus' Tentacles.; Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Trivia: The 2.0 Suit is an unlockable costume for Peter in the 2014 video game The Amazing Spider-Man 2.; Red and blue were the primary colors of Spider-Man's costume, but Octavius had redesigned it; The suit is actually a redesign from Alex Ross' Spider-Man (2000) series original costume.; Otto changing the color scheme from blue to black may be influenced on how he found Peter Parker's black cloth suit slimming.; } History: When Otto Octavius took over Peter Parker's body, he decided to take over Peter's role as a superhero. As such, he redesigned the original Spider-Man costume, switching the blue to black and altering the design of the back spider logo, belt, gloves, boots and mask, and a more goggle-like design for the mask lenses.; After the original was ravaged in battling the Spider Slayer, Octavius redesigned the costume again, distancing himself further from Peter's classic design.; Upon the death of Otto Octavius and return of Peter Parker, with the newer suit heavily damaged, this suit was replaced by the more classic uniform once more.; A replica of both the first and second versions of the suit could be seen among the storage of suits, found in Peter's personal lab at Parker Industries. Later, Peter donned a further upgraded version of this suit to use in his vendetta against Itsy Bitsy. Doctor Octopus would later create a replica of the second version of the suit, reclaiming his alias as the Superior Spider-Man. When he returned to being Doctor Octopus, he got rid of his heroic attire, tossing it in a trash can. Otto later either required the suit or made a new version. When Anna Maria Marconi was kidnapped by Supernova, Otto gave the suit to Peter Parker and insisted he use it to save her.; Clear ============================================================ Super T.N.T.

Feeling disrespected by the accusations of his being a thief, as well as the very presence of Iron Fist, things rapidly took a turn for the worse, forcing Luke and Danny to fight their way past numerous gangsters as they stole the necklace and fled.; The duo returned to the South Bronx where Jennie was staying at the Sisters of Mercy House, a home for female parolees. Jennie explained that she knew her partner didn't believe she'd be able to convince Luke and Danny to help them acquire the Supersoul Stone, but a bit of tears was all it took and she couldn't believe that Danny considered her family after letting her rot in prison for years. She then handed the necklace to Black Mariah who gleefully declared the artifact a first step towards their taking over of Tombstone's soon-to-be-crumbling criminal empire. ============================================================ Stun-Shocker Kind: item Page: Stun-Shocker Formal name: Stun-Shocker Other aliases: Stun-Shock Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 3 Created by: Jim Shooter; George Evans Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: This device was developed by Doctor Doom and could be optionally incorporated within his armor, its single operative unit being kept at Castle Doom's labs the rest of the time.

Place of creation: Lingares Previous owners: Quake; War Machine; M.O.D.O.K. Model: 1 Version: 1 Trivia: The initials of this weapon spell out "S-O-B-I-G" ("So big"). History: When M.O.D.O.K. set up a base of operations in Lingares in order to contain Ultimo, he detonated a nuclear bomb that managed to temporarily make the giant robot vulnerable. Using the same radioactive signatures from the blast, M.O.D.O.K. designed the Subatomic Outgoing Broad-Isotope Gun.; After crossing paths with Force Works, M.O.D.O.K. joined forces with them to take down Ultimo, and outfitted War Machine's armor with the Subatomic Outgoing Broad-Isotope Gun since the suit's arc reactor was the only source of power strong enough to power the device in the entire island. Force Works subsequently engaged Ultimo, and War Machine used the Subatomic Outgoing Broad-Isotope Gun to blast off the robot's head, draining all of his armor of power.; M.O.D.O.K. usurped Ultimo's beheaded body and attacked Force Works, dubbing himself UltiM.O.D.O.K. Even though War Machine managed to use a generator to jump-star his armor's arc reactor, the suit needed to be at 94% of power to make use of the Subatomic Outgoing Broad-Isotope Gun.

While the Sword's power can only be activated by a descendant of Fu Xi, the inactivated blade can still be quite deadly in others' hands, as demonstrated by Ares and Shang-Chi. It has also been suggested that powerful magic can override the Sword's enchantment to allow non-descendants to wield it at its full power.; A noticeable trait is that the Sword of Fu Xi is sentient, and possesses the ability to move on its own. While the Sword has gone out of its way to protect Lie from threats, it has also defied him when he showed undesirable traits, such as cowardice or arrogance. The Sword has allowed itself to be wielded with its powers activated by non descendants of Fu Xi, including Ji Shuangshuang, Davi Naka and the Black Knight. While experiencing an illusion showing his worst fears, the Sword of Fu Xi rejected Lie, which allowed it to be easily destroyed right afterwards.; Despite being forged to destroy Chiyou, the Sword's status is important to keeping him sealed away. After the Sword was removed from the Tomb holding his skull, the seals containing Chiyou weakened and allowed some of his demon minions to be released into the world. When the Sword shattered, the seals weakened even further and allowed more demons to escape.; When inactive, the Sword has been noted for being unbreakable and unmeltable by Orgarb, a skilled dwarven master smith of Nidavellir. However, the Sword managed to be shattered from a bite from a demonic Kumiho, despite being activated and wielded by Lie. When asked how this was possible, the Kumiho claimed it was because the Sword viewed him as weak.; Lie once believed that the Sword's broken shards' energy in his hands interfered with the flow of his chi when he first struggled with summoning the Iron Fist consistently until Shou-Lao revealed that the imbalance actually came from Lie's self doubt rather than the shards' influence. After overcoming his self doubt, Lin Lie can partially summon the sword's blade from his right fist. The reforged blade of the Sword of Fu Xi still retains many of its mystical abilities.; Energy Manipulation and Projection: When activated, the Sword projects mystical green flames which can be fired as a projectile and increases the cutting power and range of the Sword. Even when the Sword was shattered, its broken shards can still project its mystical green flames.; Limited Flight: Due to its ability to move on its own, the Sword is capable of allowing its user to fly at short distances.; Exorcism: Aside from Chiyou and his minions, the Sword has also been equally effective against fire goblins, wyverns, symbiote dragons, and other demons and undead.; Genetic Memory: The Sword is capable of sharing its memories with its user, most commonly by stabbing them (which leaves them physically unharmed).; Power Bestowal and Amplification: When the Sword was shattered and several of its shards became embedded in Lie's hands and forearms, he gained the ability to channel some of the Sword's powers through his body, including enhancing his punches and infusing weapons with the Sword's energy. When White Fox stabbed herself with one of the Sword's broken Shards, she gained several mystical enhancements, including additional strength, speed, stamina and resistance to paper talismans that were previously fatal to her. History: ===Origins===; According to the dark god Knull, the Sword of Fu Xi was a divine star-forged weapon with the potential to destroy worlds, though its true power could not be comprehended or unlocked by a mortal wielder.; ===Battle of Zhuolu===; Millennia ago, when the Xian god of war Chiyou and his demonic army were slaughtering the confederation of Chinese tribes descended from the Three Sovereigns (known collectively as the Huaxia), their leader Emperor Xuanyuan called on Fu Xi, Nü-wa, and Shen Nong to assist their descendants in defeating Chiyou. In response, the Three Sovereigns gifted their descendants sacred weapons, with Fu Xi sending the Sword of Fu Xi. Using the Sword, the Chief of the Fu Xi Tribe joined forces with the other Huaxia to defeat Chiyou and his army. Despite his defeat, Chiyou was unable to be completely destroyed, resulting in the Huaxia dividing his remains and soul into thirds and sealed within three tombs, with the Sword guarding his head and a soul fragment.; ===Modern Times===; In the present, the Sword of Fu Xi was found in Qianfengou by an archaeologist, floating into a serpent-shaped red fog that emerged from a chamber grave robbers (including Hou Lao Er) opened (despite the Professor's and his guide's attempts to stop them, on archaeological preservation motives). Unbeknownst to the Professor, he was a descendant of Fu Xi, and the Sword moved on its own to protect him from the red fog, which was revealed to be Chiyou's unleashed spirit.; The professor brought the Sword to his son Lin Lie in Shanghai, just before he disappeared along with his other son Lin Feng after they returned to Qianfengou.; As he tried to figure out his father's disappearance, Lie had nightmares, where he wielded the Sword while facing Chiyou, as the god was tearing apart the legions of Emperor Huang in the field of Zhuolu, until he froze before the god, saved by his father.; Lie slashed his shoulder on it while avoiding an attack from one of Chiyou's demon minions. Moments later, the sword started flying through the air, maiming the demon, but also preventing Lie from fleeing the place, until he was rescued by Ji Shuangshuang. Shuangshuang stabbed Lie with the Sword; the while it did not harm him, instead he saw a vision of the Huaxia's victory over Chiyou in 3000 BC. Shuangshuang revealed that when the Sword and Chiyou's Orb had been removed from their resting place, the seals containing Chiyou weakened and unleashed his demon army. Believing Lie to be too incompetent to fight Chiyou, Shuangshuang took the Orb in Lie' from him. Lie tried to chase after her but was attacked by Baron Mordo, who wanted the Sword for himself. Lie was rescued by Doctor Strange, who fought off Mordo. After Lie explained what the Sword was and the threat of Chiyou, Strange offered to take the Sword for safekeeping but relented when Lie told him of his family duty and that it was the only clue to finding his father. Lie used the Sword's power to defeat the remaining demons with Shuangshuang, who was by her grandmother to return to the Nü-wa estate in Gansu with Lie and the Sword. Unable to take a flight due to the Sword failing security checks at the airport and Shuangshuang's magic not being strong enough to transport them, Lie recruited his roommate Ah Cheng to drive them as he had a driver's license. When the met Cheng in downtown Shanghai, the Sword moved on its own and pointed out Feng from a crowd. By the time Shuangshuang and Cheng caught up with Lie, Feng disappeared. Lie and his friends helped Ji Xiangyun and the Nü-wa Clan defend the Nü-wa mansion when it was attacked by Chiyou's demons. Afterwards, Xiangyun took Lie and Shuangshuang to the tomb containing Chiyou's body and used her magic to show the Sword's memories of Chiyou's sealing and release, as well as the last moments of Lie's father before his disappearance. Lie was told by Xiangyun that he needed to start his training under Shuangshuang.; After the War of the Realms, Lin Lie found himself in New York City, still on the trail of his father, using the sword to threaten his contacts, until Shang-Chi stopped him, who intended to help him, by first by training Lie to swordsmanship, and bringing him to live at his place.; At his turn, Shang-Chi had a nightmare where he warned Lin Lie of demons wishing to take the sword, but Lin Lie held it confidently and stabbed him. Awakening, Shang-Chi intended to get rid of the sword, considering it was too dangerous and could fell into the wrong person's hands, but Lin aggressively protested, the sword being the only link to his missing father. The two soon fled the flat, but were surrounded by undead giant warriors led by Ares, God of War, who managed to take the sword.. However, Ares was unable to awaken the sword's powers, allowing Shang-Chi to take the sword back from him.. Ares confessed that he needed to sword to kill his son's kidnapper, whom he believed was another God.; The three tracked Ismenios down to a temple in Madripoor, where Lie used to sword to break him from his prison, which also alerted Ismenios' kidnapper, the mother goddess Davi Naka. Lie attempted to attack her but the sword defied him and sided with Naka, allowing her to take it from Lie before handing it back to him.; ===King in Black===; Upon learning that symbiote dragons were attacking Shanghai, Lin travelled there assuming they were minions of Chiyou. Upon learning from Aero that the symbiote dragons were servants of a different dark god, Knull, Lie was disappointed and stubbornly refused to assist in repelling the invasion, arguing that the Sword of Fu Xi had a proud will of its own and was meant to be wielded against Chiyou alone.; Angered by the boy's arrogance and hubris, the Sword of Fu Xi left him for Dane Whitman, the Black Knight, who had been stranded in Shanghai after a symbiote-dragon attacked him seeking to claim his Ebony Blade for Knull. Attacked by a symbiote dragon, the Black Knight lapsed into a berserk state - the Sword of Fu Xi belatedly realizing he wasn't a noble warrior and attempting to return to Lie. Lin and Dane's struggle over the blade was interrupted when the symbiote-dragon latched onto them with tendrils to mentally connect them to Knull; the Sword of Fu Xi setting Dane's hand ablaze with divine flames to force him to relinquish it before returning to Lie.; With Knull desiring to claim both the Ebony Blade and the Sword of Fu Xi for himself, Lie wielded the divine sword alongside Aero and the Black Knight in order to vanquish Knull's avatar.; ===Death of Doctor Strange===; While Lin Lie fought a demonic Kumiho with White Fox, the Kumiho struck Lie with an illusion making him experience his worst fears; when he felt unworthy of wielding the Sword it rejected him and depowered itself. The weakened Sword of Fu Xi got shattered by a bite from the beast's jaws while Lie jumped in the way to protect White Fox and both Lie and the Sword's remains were thrown into a ravine. Due to the sword's destruction, the seals on Chiyou's Three Tombs weakened, allowing his minions to escape and attack cities around the world. The Agents of Atlas and Tiger Division were unable to find Lie, instead only recovering a shard of the sword which White Fox kept.; ===White Fox===; When White Fox and Kyungtae Kim were attacked by a member of the Sunset Order with paper talismans, White Fox stabbed herself with the shard, physically empowering her and allowing her to resist the talismans. She stabbed the Order member in the heart with the shard, who was revealed to be a construct created from talismans.; ===The New Iron Fist===; The sword's remains and Lin Lie were washed ashore outside K'un-Lun, where the newly hatched Shou Lao bestowed his chi onto Lie, saving his life and granting him the power and title of the Iron Fist. Despite the sword's destruction, several of its shards became embedded in Lie's hands, allowing him to summon the Sword's power through his fists but left him in a state of constant pain and agony. Lie's savior Mei Min advised him against immediately removing the shards as it could potentially cause an imbalance between his chi and Shou-Lao's, killing him. Lie aspired to recover the remaining pieces and reforge the Sword to restore Chiyou's broken seal. Several months later, Lie tracked down a large piece of the sword in a Chinese antique shop in Flushing, where he encountered Danny Rand, the previous Iron Fist before him, who helped him recover the shard from several of Chiyou's minions. Afterwards, Lie returned to Mei Min's home in K'un-Lun, where he kept the partially repaired Sword of Fu Xi within a puzzle box previously gifted to him by Doctor Strange that only he can open. One of Chiyou's demons, who previously devoured and assumed the form of Mei Min's father, attempted to take the sword from its box, but was prevented so by the spells protecting it. When the seal in Chiyou's first tomb was destroyed by Lin Feng, the Sword's pieces began glowing with mystic energy, with the shards in Lie's hands leaving him in excruciating pain, with Lie noting that they were pulling away from his skin. The shards' energy led Lie back to the Mei residence, where the disguised demon revealed his identity and gravely wounded Min's mother when she attempted to protect the shards in the puzzle box from him. After the demon proved to be too powerful for Lie, Min and Yang Yi, Lie stabbed his arms with the remaining shards, imbuing him enough power to destroy the demon. Meanwhile, Feng recovered the Sword's scabbard from the first tomb, which also contained a sliver of the Sword's power. Guided by the energies from the shards in his flesh, Lie took a portal to Gansu with Min and Yi to reach Chiyou's second tomb. Due to the pain from the shards, Lie got overwhelmed by Chiyou's demons and got captured by Feng, who attempted to extract the shards from his hands. Within his mind, Lie spoke with Shou-Lou's spirit, who revealed that Lie's chronic pain and inability to summon the Iron Fist wasn't due to the shards but because of Lie's self doubt. With this revelation, Lie embraced his dual identities and overcame his handicap, being able to use the shards to reforge the Sword's blade from his right fist, which he used to injure Feng.; ===Deadly Hands of K'un-Lun===; When Lie later battled Feng during his attempt to liberate K'un-Lun from Feng, Feng used Chiyou's Soul Orbs to extract the broken shards of the Sword of Fu Xi from his younger brother's arms and reforged them into the Sword of Chiyou. ============================================================ Super-Adaptoid Program Kind: item Page: Super-Adaptoid Program Formal name: Super-Adaptoid Program Type: Technology First appearance: New Avengers Annual Vol 1 1 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Olivier Coipel Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: A.I.M History: ===Subjects===; While the project was in it's earliest stages, rogue assets within S.H.I.E.L.D would approach the enhancile projects first recipient; Agent Belova.; Said spooks had approached the crippled and hideously burned Black Widow with an opportunity for a quick recovery and expedient revenge on the New Avengers after a disastrous mission in the Savage Land.

Notes: Other alien weapons with connections to the Tactigon have appeared on Earth, like the gauntlets used by Gauntlet and Southpaw. History: The Tactigon was created billions of years ago by the Prosilican Rapture as a child. She eventually lost it and came into the possession of an unnamed extraterrestrial host. After being disconnected from its host in a battle many years ago, the Tactigon fell to Earth, landing in San Francisco. Sometime later, as troubled teen Violet Lightner attempted to kill herself by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge, the Tactigon detected her and attached itself to her forearm. Able to transform into the perfect weapon to defeat a given opponent, the Tactigon helped Violet to become a superhero called Armory and enabled her to defeat a giant Ultimo robot that was attacking the Mighty Avengers.; Violet was later stripped of the Tactigon after accidentally killing MVP during a training session. Tactigon was then used by KIA, a clone of MVP.; It later connected to KIA, a deranged clone of MVP. The Tactigon interfaced with this clone's mind, activating latent memories of the real MVP's death.

Thor and the Hulk went to sent to the planet to retrieve the Tactigon by the Promoter as part of a series of retrieval missions to obtain artifacts to proved themselves worthy to face the Champion of the Universe. The pair were successful in retrieving the Tactigon but then learned that the missions were just setups by the Promoter to use the items they retrieved to make herself unbeatable. During her fight with Hulk, Thor, and the Champion, Hulk reverted to Bruce Banner and was able to convince Promoter to give up her obsession with becoming strong. Promoter then returned the items taken, including the Tactigon.; The Tactigon was stored in a warehouse in Camp Hammond along with other dangerous artifacts. During the Reckoning War where hostile alien races were waging war, including the Brotherhood of the Badoon who had invaded Earth, Doom realized that this was part of a bigger situation. So, he took the Tactigon from Camp Hammond and waited in the Florida Everglades for the Cormorant to appear, knowing that he would come for the Tactigon. This was all part of a plan Doom had to locate Cormorant's master the Helmsman through their telepathic link and kill him so Cormorant could help him end the Reckoning War.; Doom and Cormorant traveled to the Watchers' planet of Planet T-37X and confronted the Reckoning.

Years later, Apocalypse infected the infant Summers with the virus, leading to his transport to the future to become Cable, allowing Summers to deliver the Virus to Apocalypse in the first place. Cable's infection could be kept in check only by his powerful telekinetic ability, ensuring that it would spread no further than his arm but also that he could never exert much control over these powers.; A heavily modified version of the virus was later used again, by Stryfe, a clone of Cable created after he arrived in the future that was raised by Apocalypse, in an attempt to kill Professor Charles Xavier. For reasons completely his own, Apocalypse cured Professor X of the virus.; On Earth-29283 the warlord Gaunt had infected himself with mild T-O Virus that he kept in check with nano-machines, this allowed him to replace any lost part with new stronger cybernetic upgrades. During a fight with Cable however he was infected by Cable's much stronger version and was paralyzed and left in agony.; ===Krakoan era===; After the establishment of the nation of Krakoa and Cable's resurrection by The Five, his Techno-Organic viral load was encased in a future tech stealth arm. When the conflict with Orchis and the Krakoan space agency S.W.O.R.D. sent Station One hurtling toward the Earth, however, Cable was forced to direct his telekinetic powers away from his Techno-Organic viral load, causing it to grow further and burst free from its future tech constraints. Part of this viral growth was detected by Progenitors on an incursion onto Arakko, and a Harvester took a sample back to their World Farm where it was grown even further, but eventually taken back by Cable.; Enemy of Krakoa Orchis used T-O Virus taken from the Technarch Warlock to turn mutants and allies Feral, Fatale, Cloak and Dagger into a new line of techno-organic Hounds, a project directed by Adrian Toomes, the Vulture, who also fitted himself with a T-O Virus improved flight suit. This Hound program was used to attack Kurt Wagner as he worked under the guise of Creepy Crawler, but Wagner was able to free Warlock and the Hounds with the aid of Legion and his Hopesword.; Cable was able to use his control over the virus to defeat another threat to Krakoa, the Children of Tomorrow, by threatening to infect their entire City. ============================================================ Tavistick Kind: item Page: Tavistick Formal name: Tavistick Type: Staff First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 56 Created by: Steve Gerber; Jim Starlin Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Rasputin Place of creation: New York Place of destruction: Central Park, New York City Previous owners: Rasputin History: A magical staff used to animate Fangor, a powerful statue which represented all of man's evil.

The armors could be controlled remotely, overriding the commands of the wearer.; Cybertek used at least eight Terminal Armors in an operation to apprehend cyborg fugitive Deathlok, one of their developments who had escaped when the organic brain took over the controls. Once Deathlok was tracked to Coney Island amusement park, Cybertek sent their own cyborg contractor Mainframe to coordinate the operation from a van. Disregarding the security of civilians or park staff, Mainframe and the Terminal Armor wearers staged an open attack, wrecking the facilities as collateral damage, using civilians for cover and damaging the water flume in an attempt to lure Deathlok out. However, Deathlok managed to overpower and disarm the Terminal Armors. The users tried to escape, but Mainframe took contorl of the battlesuits, preventing that. Mainframe then arranged a second wave of attack using Dragonfly manned aircraft and the SQ Deep Sea Attack Craft. Cybertek head Harlan Ryker complained that the operation was attracting too much attention, and Mainframe allowed the Terminal users to retreat on their own while he focused on suceeding with the heavier weapons. He failed and Deathlok escaped, but Cybertek hid their involvement in the disaster.; Cybertek tried to sell their weapons in Kobe, Japan, to Japanese entrepreneur Shiro Yoshida, who was associated with Yoritomo, a nationalist with his own secret, immoral plans. Yoritomo arranged for several agents dressed in newly-acquired Terminal Armors to try and assassinate Yoshida with flamethrowers, knowing well that Yoshida (also known as the superpowered mutant Sunfire with fire-based powers) would defeat them easily. Yoritomo only waned Yoshida to believe that Cybertek had betrayed him - and succeeded at it, but Yoshida soon discovered the truth.; Many of Cybertek's designs and products ended up owned by AIM soon afterward when Cybertek was dismantled, while other assets were sold by Roxxon to corporations like Magnum Munitions. ============================================================ Taser Rod (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Taser Rod Type: Baton First appearance: Captain America: The Winter Soldier Created by: Anthony Russo; Joe Russo; Stephen McFeely; Christopher Markus Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Technology Previous owners: Brock Rumlow ============================================================ Temporal Transceiver (Earth-31393) Kind: item Page: Temporal Transceiver Formal name: Temporal Transceiver Other aliases: Chronol-Travel Device Type: Time Travel First appearance: X-Men: The Animated Series Season 1 11 Created by: Larry Houston; Julia Jane Lewald Reality: Earth-31393 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Forge Current owner: Bishop; Shard Previous owners: Storm; Wolverine Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: Time Traveling: The Temporal Transceiver serves as an anchor allowing individuals to temporarily remain in the time period they had travelled to.

However, instead of being transmitted into synthe-clone bodies, the minds were instead projected into digital avatars of themselves that existed within advanced and incredibly realistic neuro-interactive computer simulations (like The Matrix). This is what the criminal geniuses known as the Intelligencia did to the eight smartest men on Earth during the World War Hulks event, transmitting their minds into a virtual reality construct created by the Leader.; Synthe-clones are known to have been used in the original Liddleville that was located in Doom's American castle in Upstate New York (as seen in Fantastic Four Vol 1 236) and in the Liddleville that existed within Doom's castle in Latveria (as seen in X-Force Vol 1 63). However, the idea that they might have been used in the Liddleville seen in Fantastic Four Vol 1 393 as part of the Puppet Master's attempt to give his step-daughter a happy life after her break-up with Grimm is problematic for two reasons.; First, the Liddleville seen in that issue cannot be the original tiny town since that had been shown to have been smashed into fragments in Thing Vol 1 4. However, since the Puppet Master had constructed the original Liddleville to Doom's specifications, he could have duplicated it on his own, presumably in a location that was not Castle Doom.; Second, in this more realistic Liddleville scenario, Alicia was a blind sculptor, Ben Grimm was the Thing, and the other three members of the Fantastic Four were there as well and possessed their powers. However, while both Ben Grimm and Alicia were shown to be connected to the machine, Johnny Storm, Susan Richards and Reed Richards were definitely not present and therefore they could not have existed within Liddleville as synthe-clones. While it's possible that those three FF members were actually robots, another explanation could be that the Liddleville into which the minds of Ben and Alicia had been transferred this time was actually not the physical version seen in that issue but a virtual reality construct within which those minds inhabited digital avatars instead of synthe-clones.; In Micronauts Vol 1 41, an Omniscient Narrative caption refers to the miniature Doom's "synthe-clone cells and circuitry." However, although the writer of that story apparently believed that the mini-Doom was a synthe-clone, he was actually the real Doom's mind trapped within a robotic replica, so the implication that synthe-clones contained circuitry may not have been accurate.; Only two facts about the make-up of synthe-clones were revealed in the two comics in which they have appeared: they are crafted from a cell or cells taken from the real bodies of their subjects, and their blood is not really blood but something similar. However, according to the entry on Liddleville that was published in Marvel Encyclopedia Vol 1 Fantastic Four, synthe-clones are "formed by combining the subjects' cells with circuitized forms." Exactly what this means is unclear, as is the accuracy of that data, but it should be noted that that same entry does contain the inaccurate statement that "Liddleville was smashed soon after by a Doombot who retrieved Doom's synth-clone to restore his master."; Although details about how synthe-clones are created have never been revealed, X-Force Vol 1 63 did establish that the process takes very little time. In that story, Meltdown was separated from the rest of X-Force, rendered unconscious by a Servo-Guard, and awoke to find herself in Liddleville where she interacted with Dimitri Fortunov for at least a few minutes before being found by Cable. During the time that she was separated from her team, Meltdown was knocked unconscious by an electro-neural restraint, then a synthe-clone of her was created and dressed in a miniature duplicate of the uniform her true body was wearing, and finally the Liddleville mechanism was used to establish a neural-link between her real self's mind and the synthe-clone. Given that they were then in the extremely hazardous territory of Castle Doom, one would assume that X-Force would have made rescuing their missing teammate a priority, implying that their rescue must have taken place as soon as possible.; Nothing has ever been revealed about what happens to synthe-clones once the neural-links connecting them to the minds of their subjects are shut down.; In the original synthe-clone story, even writer John Byrne seemed a bit confused as to whether minds were transmitted into the synthe-clones or transferred into them. However, the second story made it clear that neural-links between the subjects and their synthe-clone doppelgangers had to be functioning in order for the subjects to perceive themselves as being the synthe-clones, making it clear that the synthe-clones were essentially being remote-controlled by the minds of the subjects and that those minds remained within their real brains.; So far, only eight people are known to have spent any time neural-linked to synthe-clones of themselves: Reed Richards, Susan Richards, Franklin Richards, Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm, Alicia Masters, Dimitri Fortunov and Tabitha Smith. Of those eight, as mentioned above, Ben and Alicia may (or may not) have been so linked on two separate occasions. History: The Puppet Master (Phillip Masters) wanted to create a "toy world" in which his blind step-daughter Alicia could have what he believed she most desired, a normal life married to the man she had chosen, Ben Grimm, but Grimm was also the monstrous-looking superhero known as the Thing and refused to marry Alicia even though they loved each other. Knowing that he lacked the technology and the scientific skills needed to carry out his plan by himself, the Puppet Master chose Doctor Doom (Victor Von Doom) to help him and used some of his mind-controlling radioactive clay to ensure Doom's cooperation. The Puppet Master may have believed that Doom would go along with his plan because helping him create this fantasy world would also get rid of the Thing and his teammates in the Fantastic Four, who were Doom's nemeses. However, the Puppet Master underestimated how strongly Doom wished to inflict pain and suffering on his enemies.; Under the Puppet Master's control, Doctor Doom developed the mind-transmitting technology and the process to create the synthe-clones. He also designed the fictional miniature town of Liddleville which the Puppet Master then built to Doom's specifications in a room in Doom's American castle. Supposedly founded by a Josiah Liddle, Liddleville was to be populated entirely by robots except for the members of the Fantastic Four (the Thing, the Human Torch, his sister the Invisible Girl and her husband Mister Fantastic), Alicia, and Franklin Richards, the young son of Reed and Sue Richards. When everything was ready, the Puppet Master used his clay to capture the six of them and have them travel to Castle Doom in the Adirondack Mountains where they were made to lie down on pallets ringing the table on which Liddleville had been constructed so that their minds could be transmitted into their synthe-clones. Once within the scenario, the memories of all six of them were altered to match their new reality. Alicia Grimm, who could see and had never been blind, was married to a human Ben Grimm who owned Ben Grimm's Tavern & Cafe. Johnny Storm worked at Al's Garage. Reed Richards was an absent-minded professor at Liddleville College. Susan Richards was a devoted wife to Reed and loving mother to their son Franklin.; Although the Puppet Master refused to become a synthe-clone, believing that Doom could manipulate him, he and Doom both chose to interact with Liddleville via tiny robot replicas of themselves into which they could transfer their minds at will, using rings they wore on their hands to activate the transferal circuit. In those bodies, the Puppet Master became Phil Masters, Ben Grimm's father-in-law and the owner of Masters Toys, a small toy shop, while Doom became Professor Vincent Vaughn, the president of the university, who harassed Professor Reed Richards by treating him as if he were a total incompetent due to his incapacity to concentrate on anything beyond a few minutes, something that Doom himself had arranged. Doom derived a sadistic satisfaction from causing Reed to experience frustration, despair and confusion.; After about two weeks in Liddleville, the Fantastic Four started having dreams related to their past as superheroes. These dreams were clues that Doom had covertly given them so that they would eventually realize their truth of their reality as his helpless prisoners. When Richards tried to find an explanation and had a dream himself, he remembered his past life and revealed the truth of the other five. Once they were convinced, the adults forcefully confronted the Puppet Master who explained the situation. Then, as the Puppet Master was about to name his helper, Doom, in his real body, addressed them from above. Appearing to them as a giant looming over Liddleville. Doom explained the remaining details, froze all of the town's robots and left the Fantastic Four to live out their lives in the tiny town. Doom also deactivated the Puppet Master's ring, trapping him in his robot body. To prevent them from escaping Liddleville, Doom stationed miniature Servo-Guards at the town limits.; Reed accessed a miniaturized but functional particle accelerator at the university and replicated the cosmic ray bombardment that gave the Fantastic Four their powers, but carefully increased the radiation dosage to give their synthe-clone bodies almost twenty times more power, proportionately. Once empowered, the miniature Fantastic Four destroyed the Servo-Guards who tried to stop them and covertly escaped from Liddleville. Upon reaching the control console that Reed thought would enable them to return to their real bodies, the FF discovered that Doom had removed the primary power shuttle module from the machine, but Mister Fantastic found an alternate way to return to their bodies by making use of Doom's well-designed redundancy systems. Following a plan that Reed devised, the foursome used water from the Liddleville River to flood the whole floor of the control room and then lured Doom down there. After tricking Doom into firing an energy blast at an obvious trap so that the energy fed back into the generators, the FF carried out a coordinated attack that caused Doom to fall onto a mechanism that had been hidden in the shadows. Physical contact with the circuitry in Doom's armor enabled the device to restore the minds of the six humans to their true bodies. Finding Doom motionless on the floor, Reed deduced that the tremendous power-surge flowing through his armor must have tripped the armor's built-in defense systems and thrown him into stasis. Although Reed noticed that Doom's eyes were wide and dilated, as if he had gone into a coma at that precise moment, none of them realized that Reed's mechanism had also served to transmit Doom's mind into the robotic body of Vincent Vaughn. Doom planned to wait until the FF were off-guard and then restore his mind to his true body and destroy them. However, his plan was thwarted when his control ring was smashed by the just-arrived Puppet Master and the robots of Liddleville that he had reprogrammed to serve only him. At the Puppet Master's command, the robots drove Vaughn out of town.; Years later, Doom created another Liddleville in Castle Doom in Latveria. After his apparent death while battling Onslaught, his Servo-Guards would kill most people they caught trespassing in the castle but would sometimes instead capture them, attach them to Liddleville, and use the mechanism to create a neural-link that would effectively transfer the minds of their prisoners into newly-create synthe-clone doppelgangers. Dimitri Fortunov was one such trespasser and he lived in Liddleville for a week before he was joined by Meltdown (Tabitha Smith) of the mutant team X-Force. Only minutes later, they were freed from Liddleville when the neural-link was shut down, allowing their brains to regain control over their true bodies. At that time, Dimitri discovered that his friend Sergei, who had helped him get into the castle, had also been captured but had died when the mechanism had fried his synapses. ============================================================ Talisman of Abraxas Kind: item Page: Talisman of Abraxas Formal name: Talisman of Abraxas Type: Amulet First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 2 8 Created by: Tom Peyer; Glenn Herdling; Josh Hood Origin: Magical History: An amulet Doctor Strange gave to Namor the Sub-Mariner to palliate his personality shifts. ============================================================ Telling Stone Kind: item Page: Telling Stone Formal name: Telling Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Annual Vol 1 4 Created by: Tom Brevoort; Mike Kanterovich; Anna-Maria Cool Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Dark Dimension Previous owners: Lalla ============================================================ Telescopic Reviver Kind: item Page: Telescopic Reviver Formal name: Telescopic Reviver Type: Technology First appearance: Sun Girl Vol 1 1 Created by: Ken Bald Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Drearr Place of creation: New York City; New York Place of destruction: New York City; New York Previous owners: Doctor Drearr History: The Telescopic Reviver was an invention crated by the mad scientist Doctor Drearr. The device worked similarly to a tractor beam, allowing Drearr to move living creatures anywhere he wanted. Drearr planned to use the Reviver to pull in sea monsters to destroy the world in revenge for being jailed for an unspecified crime. His attempts to get revenge were thwarted by the superhero Sun Girl. To end Sun Girl's meddling, Drearr tried to use the Reviver to her into the ocean where she would drown. However, Sun Girl ducked out of the way. The beam bounced back into Drearr, sending him into the ocean where he presumably drowned. Sun Girl then destroyed the Reviver so it couldn't be used to menace anyone else. ============================================================ Technowand Kind: item Page: Technowand Formal name: Technowand Type: Wand First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 5 2 Created by: Mark Waid; Jesús Saíz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Kanna History: A technowand is a makeshift item derived from the concept of technomancy, which is to make use of modern scientific elements as substitutes for magical ingredients in the incantation of spells.

Type: Technology First appearance: Absolute Carnage Vol 1 1 Created by: Donny Cates; Ryan Stegman Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: The Maker Additional designers: Bruce Banner Place of destruction: Rex Strickland's Warehouse Previous owners: Bruce Banner; The Maker Model: 1 Version: 1 History: After deducing that Symbiotes leave trace remnants of their constituent matter in former hosts, the Maker began working on a machine to extract these codices - being interested in seeing if he could use them to repair and stabilize a damaged sample of the synthetic Venom symbiote from Earth-1610. Contacted by Venom and already aware that Carnage was hunting former symbiote hosts, the Maker disassembled his machine and relocated it to Rex Strickland's Warehouse, lying that it would destroy the extracted codices. Not having been able to test it without a symbiote host, he expressed the desire to use it on Normie Osborn but was refused by Venom and Spider-Man; suggesting they retrieve Norman Osborn instead.; While waiting for Venom and Spider-Man to return, the Maker completed his machine - dubbed the "Symbiote Codex Isolation and Thermo-Heated Extraction" by Dylan Brock -- and attempted to test it on Normie anyway, but was stopped by Dylan and the arrival of the Riot; Agony; Phage, and Lasher symbiotes - which had joined Carnage's cause and taken over a family of four. The Maker managed to subdue them using the warehouse's arsenal of anti-symbiote weaponry and also captured Sleeper, stripping it from the corpse of Tel-Kar. The Maker loaded the family and Tel-Kar's corpse into the machine and activated it, causing the former excruciating pain.; After the Maker was taken over by the Hybrid symbiote and chased away by Spider-Man, Wolverine; Captain America, and the Thing; Bruce Banner made the finishing adjustments to the machine and used it to extract Normie's codex and those of the assembled heroes save for Spider-Man. Carnage infiltrated the warehouse disguised as Eddie Brock and attacked the assembled heroes, directing his horde of Carnage Doppelgängers to destroy the S.C.I.T.H.E. while he fought the Venomized Hulk. After Carnage absorbed the Venom symbiote, Eddie Brock punched through the storage tank containing the codices and amalgamated them into a gestalt symbiote. ============================================================ Symbiote Inhibitor Kind: item Page: Symbiote Inhibitor Formal name: Symbiote Inhibitor Other aliases: Dopamine Blocker; Neuro-Inhibitor; Symbiote Dampener Type: Drug First appearance: Venom: On Trial Vol 1 1 Created by: Larry Hama; Josh Hood Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Drugs designed to chemically lobotomize Symbiotes Lead designer: Dr. Yao Additional designers: Norman Osborn; Lieutenant Aaron MacKenzie, Project Rebirth 2.0 scientists, Beast, Ant-Man; Valentine Vuong Place of creation: Overreach Committee laboratory Current owner: Valentine Vuong; Anti-Symbiote Task Force; Weapon V Previous owners: Agent Venom; Secret Avengers; Project Rebirth 2.0; Dark Avengers; Overreach Committee Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable Model: 4 Version: 5 History: ===Overreach Committee===; Following the Symbiote Hive's attempted conquest of Earth, the United States Army's Overreach Committee scientist Dr. Yao developed a serum to suppress symbiotes by inhibiting their hosts' dopamine levels.; When Eddie Brock was arrested and stood trial for his crimes as Venom, the Venom symbiote was dosed with this serum, preventing Eddie from turning into Venom. When Cletus Kasady was brought in to testify, he too was dosed with the dopamine inhibitor to keep the Carnage symbiote under control. However, a vehement argument between Eddie and Cletus exposed a flaw in the serum: that elevated adrenaline levels counteracted its effects, which enabled the Venom and Carnage symbiotes to overcome it. After Venom subdued Carnage with a spare sample of the inhibitor, the charges against him were dropped in exchange for him becoming a black-ops government agent.; ===Dark Avengers===; In order to curb Mac Gargan's cannibalistic tendencies and grant him increased control of the Venom symbiote, Norman Osborn developed a chemical compound designed to suppress the symbiote - causing it to go from a monstrous form to one identical to how it had looked when bonded to Spider-Man. However, the formula had mixed success as the symbiote's predatory appetite was not suppressed, and Gargan began suffering from episodes of severe personality alterations wherein he became meek and timid.; ===Project Rebirth 2.0===; When the US Army once again attempted to weaponize the Venom symbiote as part of Project Rebirth 2.0 - a continuation of the earlier Sym-Soldier Program - they developed their own Symbiote Inhibitor compound intended to render the Venom symbiote chemically-lobotomized and subservient to its host. However, this version of the Inhibitor was flawed, as the symbiote could overcome it by feeding off its host's rage. After Project Rebirth 2.0 was shut down, this version of the serum was appropriated by other government agencies like the F.B.I. and Weapon V.; When Flash Thompson stole the Venom symbiote and went AWOL, he took several doses of the serum to keep it under control and turned them over to Dr. Hank McCoy upon joining the Secret Avengers. Dr. McCoy and Dr. Henry Pym were able to improve upon the Project Rebirth 2.0 formula, reducing the chances of the symbiote's consciousness resurfacing; though it was still able to subconsciously influence him into not dosing himself and the demon indwelling Flash enabled the symbiote to occasionally circumvent the inhibitor.; Prolonged use of this formula had an adverse effect on Flash's biochemistry, making him so dependant on being bonded to the symbiote for survival that he would die within a few hours if separated from it. After the Venom symbiote was cleansed of its bloodlust and his damaged biochemistry was repaired by the Agents of the Cosmos, Flash stopped using the symbiote inhibitor to suppress it.; ===Anti-Symbiote Task-Force===; After being captured by the F.B.I.'s Anti-Symbiote Task Force, Eddie Brock was fitted with a device that continually dosed him with symbiote inhibitor to suppress the Toxin symbiote. His handler, Agent Claire Dixon, possessed a remote that could release an antidote to "activate" the symbiote, though due to her distrust towards Eddie she swore to only do so as a last resort.; Having his body supersaturated with the symbiote inhibitor serum also had an adverse effect on Eddie's biochemistry, making his body inhospitable to symbiotes and causing the Venom symbiote to suffer from toxic shock syndrome - physically losing cohesion and psychologically relapsing into its bloodthirsty corrupted state. The head of Alchemax's astrobiology department, Doctor Steven, developed a serum to counteract the symbiote inhibitor's effects; though the symbiote eventually developed a resistance to it and its bloodlust worsened until it was cleansed and Eddie's damaged biochemistry repaired by an Astrobiological Serum derived from the Anti-Venom symbiote.; ===Atelier===; When Deadpool was implanted with a clone of the Carnage symbiote by the Harrower, Valentine Vuong of the Atelier assassination guild synthesized a serum to render the symbiote docile. While Deadpool and Valentine were on a date, the Harrower attacked them and managed to separate Deadpool from the serum, causing the symbiote to fall back under her control. ============================================================ Talons of Dagon Kind: item Page: Talons of Dagon Formal name: Talons of Dagon Other aliases: Treasure of Dagon Type: Jewels First appearance: Marvel Super Special Vol 1 2 Created by: Roy Thomas; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Notes: It is unknown if the Talons are related to the aquatic monster Dagon, or to the Kushite god (though the Talons of Dagon were allegedly to be found in the Black Coast), and what relation they have, if any. History: When Conan was captured by the Zingaran "Dom Castillius" (truly Basqus the Butcher), he invented the tale of him and Black Roj going on a quest to obtain the Talons of Dagon, following a savage that had found the gems in a ruined temple inland of the Black Coast, in the remains of the Old City. In his tale, their crews finally found the jewels, egg-big, so big that they made people go mad, and the pirate fought over them. Zingarans intervened, and one of Conan's crew snatched the plunder and hit it in a temple, before the pirates scattered, escaping the Zingarans. Later coming back four years later, Conan was captured by Basqus, to which he "revealed" the "story" of the treasure, and led him to it. In the true story, Conan went there with his men but without Black Roj, and were decimated by brown-skinned savages. The Talons of Dagon weren't in the Old City.; That story allowed Conan to trap Basqus (who intended himself to slay Conan), intending to take revenge for the death of his men. Though they weren't the Talons of Dagons, large gems were present in the Old City, as a necklace around the neck of an idol. ============================================================ Sword of X (Earth-19647) Kind: item Page: Sword of X Formal name: Sword of X Type: Sword First appearance: Major X Vol 1 1 Created by: Rob Liefeld Reality: Earth-19647 Origin: The skeletal of remains of Wolverine were melted down and forged into a sword Lead designer: X-Command Current owner: Major X Material: Adamantium History: After Wolverine had died, the X-Command found his skeletal remains.

Moreels; Anthony Flamini; Al Sjoerdsma; Sean McQuaid Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Annunaki Current owner: the Annunaki Previous owners: Kingu History: The Tablet of Destinies is a mystical artifact which bestows great power upon its bearer. Initially in the possession of the Annunaki, the gods of Mesopotamia, the tablet was first stolen by the Pazuzu, the demon-god in the form of the Zu-Bird, but Ninurtu, god of agriculture and war, thwarted his attempt to seize power by it. In the conflict known as the Annunaki Civil War it was stolen by the minions of the dragon-like Tiamat (the primeval embodiment of the sea). The Tablet of Destinies was then given to Tiamat's son and ally, the god Kingu, who wore it as a breastplate and gained enhanced powers that rivaled those of Anu, skyfather of the Annunaki. However, Marduk, the god of magic and grandson of Anu, eventually came to lead Anu's armies, defeated Kingu, and then reclaimed the Tablet of Destinies, thereby bringing an end to the civil war. ============================================================ Ten Rings (Weapons) Kind: item Page: Ten Rings (Weapons) Formal name: Ten Rings Other aliases: Universe Ring (乾坤圈) Type: Iron Rings; Gauntlets; Weapon First appearance: Thor & Hercules: Encyclopaedia Mythologica Vol 1 1 Created by: Anthony Flamini; Greg Pak; Fred van Lente; Paul Cornell; Gus Vazquez; Dave Callaham; Destin Daniel Cretton; Andrew Lanham Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999; Earth-51156; Earth-TRN789 Origin: Magical; Divine Place of creation: Ta-Lo Current owner: Shang-Chi Previous owners: Nezha, Jade Emperor, Chieftain Xin, Zaran the Weapons Master, Lady Iron Fan, Razor Fist, Darkstrider, Tak, Ghost Maker, Leiko Wu, Red Cannon, The Cat Properties: The Ten Rings grant their users with a variety of powers, including superhuman strength, durability, speed, stamina, and flight. The Rings themselves are strong enough to break through hard structures such as stone and most metals, including those empowered by magic.; The Rings can be controlled telekinetically in a variety of different ways by their users, including being fired as projectiles, restraining opponents or be used for transportation. The Rings can alter their size to accommodate the user's wrists or be used to restrain opponents.; The color of the aura projected by the Ten Rings varies with the user, with the Jade Emperor's being green, Shang-Chi's originally gold and later orange-red, and Chieftain Xin's being purple.. The Rings aura can be fired as energy blasts.; According to the Jade Emperor, ordinary mortals are unable to wield the Rings without dying, surmising that Shang-Chi's Ta Lo ancestry allows him to wield their power.; When Shang-Chi fully embraced the power of the Ten Rings, he underwent a brief transformation that gave him the appearance and personality of Zheng Zu. However, after Shang-Chi was able to overcome his father's influence, he was still able to fully control the Ten Rings and retained their unleashed power.; The Ten Rings appear to be sentient and will allow themselves to be wielded by whomever they deem powerful enough to use them, such as when they abandoned Shang-Chi for Xin when Shang-Chi resisted their power. After Shang-Chi returned the Rings to the Jade Emperor, they left their vault in Ta Lo to return back to Shang-Chi at the House of the Deadly Hand in New York City. If attempted to be worn by someone with undesirable traits, the Ten Rings will seriously injure or even kill the attempted user. However, Black Jack Tarr was able to grab the Rings without harm or succumbing to their influence although he possessed no desire to use them.; While being tampered with magic cast by Tink, the Ten Rings were discovered to have the ability to merge into a single ring or separate back into ten and create portals. It was later revealed that the Ten Rings were originally a set of twelve created from the Universe Ring, the signature weapon of the god Nezha, which had been separated by the Jade Emperor to prevent the release of the Wyrm of Desolation, which Nezha had sealed within the Universe Ring but corrupted his spirit. If all twelve pieces are to be reunited, the Wyrm will be released.; The power of the Ten Rings can also be used to empower weapons, increasing their power and destructibility. Much like the Rings themselves, weapons empowered by the Ten Rings can also be telepathically controlled by their user.; The Ten Rings also magnify striking and attack power by projecting energized manifestations of select body parts or weapons sent through the circlet openings, causing the users attacks to appear either as enlarged solid constructs or physically multiplied duplicates, imitating and replicating or augmenting whatever is sent through the Rings as they come out the other side.; The Ten Rings can teleport its user and others by surrounding themselves around their intended subjects and generating a mystical energy field, allowing their user to teleport anywhere of their choosing with the Rings. Trivia: Gene Luen Yang based the Ten Rings on the Ten Rings from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which in turn were loosely based on the Mandarin's Rings. The Ten Rings from the MCU were changed from rings worn on the fingers with elemental powers to bracelets worn on the wrists to avoid comparisons with the Infinity Gauntlet, while also taking inspiration from the iron rings from the 1978 movie The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.; Nezha's Universe Ring first appeared in Thor & Hercules: Encyclopaedia Mythologica Vol 1 1 (July 22, 2009), but was not retconned to be the Ten Rings until Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings Vol 1 5 (November 16, 2022).; In real life, iron rings are not weapons, but used to train muscles, bones, arms, and fists. History: Long ago, prior to recorded history in the Earth realm, the Wyrm of Desolation ventured to Ta-Lo to absorb the Taoist Gods into itself. Nezha defeated the Wyrm by using his Universe Ring to seal him in a pocket dimension. Despite his defeat, the Wyrm slowly corrupted Nezha's spirit. When Nezha brought destruction to Ta-Lo under the Wyrm's influence, the Jade Emperor had Nezha killed. After Nezha's death, the Emperor shattered the Universe Ring into twelve pieces and scattered them across several dimensions to prevent the Wyrm's release. When ten of the Rings returned to Ta-Lo, the Emperor had them kept in his armory, only using them as weapons for the direst of situations. If all twelve Rings were to be reunited, the Wyrm would be released.; The Ten Rings, along with the One Hammer, Two Swords, Nine Daggers, and Three Staffs, were part of the Five Sets of Heavenly Weapons of Ta-Lo. Forged for destruction, the Jade Emperor kept the Rings in a vault away from his throne room when not in use.; Zheng Zu coveted the Rings and the other Heavenly Weapons, whose legend inspired the structure of the Five Weapons Society. Zu conspired to steal the Rings and other Weapons to bolster the Society but abandoned his plans after marrying Jiang Li and his encounter with Chieftain Xin.; When Shang-Chi and his siblings traveled to Ta Lo, the Jade Emperor used the Ten Rings to restrain the five trespassers. While imprisoned in the Jade Palace Dungeon, Zheng Zu's spirit visited Shang-Chi and attempted to goad him into taking the Ten Rings to stop his grandfather from destroying their bloodline. A Taotie Mask-empowered Xin attacked the dungeon to destroy Zheng Zu's children, prompting Shang-Chi to allow his father to lead him to the Jade Emperor's vault containing the Rings. Shang-Chi donned the Rings to save his siblings from his grandfather. When Shang-Chi tried resisting his father's influence to kill Xin, Xin was able to take six of the Ten Rings from him, which he used to defeat Shang-Chi and his siblings. When Shang-Chi and Xin fought each other at the House of the Deadly Hand, Xin took the remaining Rings from Shang-Chi, but Shang-Chi was able to reclaim them by embracing Zu's influence, allowing him to fully use their power to defeat Xin and the Qilin Riders. Before a corrupted Shang-Chi could use the Rings to maim Xin, his family was able to talk him down, which freed him from his father's influence. Shang-Chi returned the Rings back to the Jade Emperor, but a month later the Rings appeared to him again, much to Shang-Chi's surprise.; Believing they were sent by the Jade Emperor but unable to return to Ta Lo, Shang-Chi kept the Ten Rings secured in a vault at the House of the Deadly Hand. After the the battle between Shang-Chi and Xin was televised all over the world, making the Ten Rings' existence public, several criminal organizations raided the House to take the Rings. Red Dot was killed by the Rings when he attempted to remove them from their vault, forcing Shang-Chi to don them to drive away the remaining invaders.; Instead of taking Master Ling's suggestion of keeping them on his person, Shang-Chi relocated the Ten Rings to a more secure vault in the Appalachians which was guarded by several of his father's monstrous experiments. Not trusting the Society with safeguarding the Ten Rings, MI6 dispatched Leiko Wu and Clive Reston to keep Shang-Chi preoccupied with a fake rescue mission while Black Jack Tarr and his agents extracted the Rings from their new vault. The Ten Rings were taken to MI6's headquarters in London, where Tarr brought Tink to help analyze them. Inspired by the Sword in the Stone, Tink used her magic to replicate the myth but unintentionally caused the Ten Rings to merge into a single Ring that attached to a stone basin and created a portal that summoned the Wyrm of Desolation. Despite Tarr's efforts to push the Wyrm back, a Wyrmspawn attached himself to Reston and possessed him into attacking his teammates. Shang-Chi was able to remove the Ring from the stone and split it back into ten, using them to free Reston from the Wyrmspawn and send it back through a portal from one of the Rings. After Shang-Chi admonished his former friends for betraying him, he left with the Ten Rings. Tink wryly noted that Shang-Chi did pull them from the stone, much to Tarr's annoyance. The recent activity of the Ten Rings was witnessed by Jinzha and Muzha. Confused to why the Jade Emperor would bequeath the Ten Rings to Shang-Chi, whom they deemed unworthy, the brothers decided to host a Game of Rings to decide a worthy Ring Keeper.; As Shang-Chi began wearing the Rings on his person, he and nine other candidates were summoned to the Meritorious Striving Pagoda to participate in the Game of Rings. The Ten Rings were taken from Shang-Chi and distributed to each of the ten players, with Shang-Chi given back a single Ring. Jinzha and Muzha explained the rules of the tournament, revealing that the winner will be rewarded all Ten Rings.; After Shang-Chi won the tournament, Jiang Li and the Jade Emperor arrived at the Pagoda to congratulate him. Jiang Li revealed that she convinced the Emperor to have Jinzha and Muzha host the Game of Rings to test Shang-Chi's worthiness after the other gods wanted to strip Shang-Chi of the Ten Rings when he struggled with the burden of wielding them. The Jade Emperor revealed to Shang-Chi of a dark prophecy that foretold of a coming threat to Earth that could only be thwarted by Ring-Bearer of that realm. The Emperor had sent the Ten Rings to Shang-Chi as he deemed him to be a worthy Ring-Keeper, which Shang-Chi proved through his actions during the tournament.; During the Gang War, Captain Feng staged a failed coup against Shang-Chi, but Feng's sorcerers were able to trap the Ten Rings in a magic seal, preventing Shang-Chi from accessing them. Master Ling worked to break the charm, but warned Shang-Chi that by the time the Ten Rings would be freed, the rival gangs and heroes will come for him while he was unarmed, which Shang-Chi was unfazed by and retorted would be more fun. As Shang-Chi continued to operate during the Gang War without the Ten Rings, Ling and his sorcerers did their best to break the seal that ensorcelled them but made little progress. Despite this, Shang-Chi could still sense that they longed to return to him. During the fight between heroes and villains at the House of the Deadly Hand, Feng took advantage of the chaos to claim the Ten Rings for himself. Shang-Chi tricked Feng into having his sorcerers free the Ten Rings, which he then reclaimed and used to defeat Feng, his sorcerers and the invading villains. ============================================================ Taotie Mask Kind: item Page: Taotie Mask Formal name: Taotie Mask Type: Mask First appearance: Shang-Chi Vol 2 11 Created by: Gene Luen Yang; Marcus To Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Chieftain Xin Place of creation: Ta-Lo Current owner: Chieftain Xin, Junjie, Qilin Riders Properties: Taotie Masks are created similarly to their namesake, in which they are created from blood of a target that is poured into a mystical bronze cauldron, or ding [鼎]. However, larger quantities of blood and pieces of flesh instead produce Taotie Masks, when worn grants the user superhuman strength, durability and stamina and leaves them in a berserker-like state that makes them only think of revenge against the person whose blood was used to create the masks. The powers granted by the masks are enough to even eclipse the godlike Xian. Humans under the influence of a mask gain increased muscle mass while a Qilin's green skin turns red. Trivia: Chieftain Xin has mentioned that corpses are preferred for the ritual to create Taotie Masks. History: After securing Deadly Hammer's severed right hand for his ritual, Chieftain Xin created several masks for himself and the Qilin Riders to destroy Zheng Zu's bloodline. When the Jade Emperor summoned Xin to the Jade Palace to explain the presence of Shang-Chi and his siblings in Ta-Lo, Xin took a couple masks for himself and his Qilin Junjie while giving the rest to the Qilin Riders. When the Jade Emperor ordered Xin to be imprisoned for breaking his oath to keep outsiders out of Ta-Lo, Xin put masks on himself and Junjie, granting them enhanced strength to overpower the Emperor and his guards.; When the Qilin Riders fought the Five Weapons Society and Jiang Li at the House of the Deadly Hand, the Riders put the masks on themselves and their Qilin. ============================================================ Ten Shames Kind: item Page: Ten Shames Type: Document First appearance: Marauders Vol 2 1 Created by: Eleonora Carlini; Steve Orlando Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Shi'ar Current owner: Kin Crimson History: A set of Shi'ar Empire state secrets, guarded by the Kin Crimson.; ==List of the Shames==; 1.

It is a teleporter that transports an organism from one capsule to another; he said that he had developed it in part based on the television series Star Trek, of which he was a fan. He worked on this development for years; beginning before the young Bruce Banner studied with him, and finished after Banner, now an adult, had become the monstrous Hulk. By then, Crawford was suffering from a debilitating neuromuscular disease that left him in a wheelchair. Crawford managed to get the telepod system to work with living rats, but had not tested it with humans yet.; Banner returned to Desert State University to ask Crawford for help in seeking a cure for his condition. Crawford offered to use the telepods to filter out Banner's Gamma mutations: They would scan Banner's body, map his gamma-irradiated body chemistry, compare it to a normal human, and then Crawford could filter out the gamma mutations in Banner's DNA while Banner was in energy form, before rebuilding his body into the receiver pod. After scanning Banner's body, Crawford offered him to sleep in his house. However, at night, Crawford returned to his laboratory to take advantage of the mapping of gamma mutations on his own genetic structure, because he coveted the Hulk's healing ability to cure his own disabilities. Foresightedly, Crawford programmed a fail-safe in the computer that controlled the process, so that it could not be stopped once it had started. Banner followed Crawford to his laboratory and saw what was happening; he attempted to convince Crawford to change his mind or operate the machines, but to no avail: Crawford emerged from the second pod transformed into a savage, power-hungry monster named Ravage, who confronted the Hulk shortly after. That attracted the authorities at Gamma Base, who found the pods in Crawford's lab but didn't know what they were.; However, as had happened to Banner at the beginning, Ravage reverted to his human form at dawn. Banner attempted to convince Crawford to reverse the process; but Crawford wanted to be Ravage full time. Crawford had Banner arrested and claimed to have undergone a process to become Ravage even during the day (although the next time Ravage appeared was at dusk). With Ravage's new appearance, General Ross of Gamma Base allied himself with Banner to try to reverse Crawford's mutation. Banner took Ross to Crawford's lab, and suggested waiting for Ravage to revert to Crawford's form, then they could easily put him in a pod; and Banner could program the computers to reverse the process. But Ravage saw the intruders in his laboratory, and went there to destroy the pods to prevent them from using them against him. Ravage claimed to have two hidden prototype pods in case he needed them; then wrecked his own lab. Ravage was captured shortly after and held in suspended animation on Gamma Base.; ==Properties==; The main use of the Telepod System is the teletransportation of an organism from the first pod to the second pod. To that end, the first pod scans and maps the organism's body, including DNA, chemistry and alterations. The body is then transformed into energy, the energy is transmitted to the second pod, and there the body's original form is restored. Geoffrey Crawford, its creator, tested it with living lab rats, and also with an apple that he had bitten - and the restored apple had the exact same missing part that Crawford had eaten.; The Telepod System was also a matter reconfigurator, as the scanned form could be modified and filtered. Theoretically, Crawford claimed that by comparing Bruce Banner (the Hulk)'s body chemistry with a normal human, he could identify which parts were gamma mutations and filter them away before restoring Banner's body. This was not confirmed, but Crawford did use the pods on himself to incorporate the gamma mutations identified in Banner's body, and he succeeded in becoming a Hulk-like creature.; The process was controlled from a computer that a scientist was able to program. It used floppy disks for data storage, and Crawford was able to program even a fail-safe to ensure that the process could not be interrupted.; The pods were big enough to hold a being the Hulk's size (approximately 7' of height and 1,040 pounds of weight, as Ravage was comparable in size with the Hulk). They were not adapted for disabled people, thou, as Crawford had a bit of trouble entering it. The pods were not resistant enough to withstand the wreckage caused by the fight between Ravage and the Hulk, which caused the ceiling to fall on the lab. ============================================================ Symbio-Nullifier Kind: item Page: Symbio-Nullifier Formal name: Symbio-Nullifier Type: Container First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 253 Created by: Roger Stern; Bob Hall Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Found at an abandoned former base of Thanos Previous owners: Thanos Weight: 8.5 tons History: The Symbio-Nullifier was a large containment device discovered at one of Thanos's former bases in the Arizona desert.

Although, it is possible that it is not a matter of worthiness, but that Odin made it so that only Eric Masterson can lift it or that it's linked to Eric's bloodline, given that his son, Kevin was able to unlock the mace's power after an act of heroism. Howhever in MC2, Eric's son, Kevin Masterson was given the Thunderstrike Enchanted Mace by Jarvis, the Avengers butler, as per his father's will but, as the mace was apparently made only for his father alone, Kevin was unable to use it as his father had.; Power of Recall: When the owner of Thunderstrike throws the mace, it returns to their hand with irresistible force. In the same way, he can summon it to himself even if it has not been thrown.; Transformation: By stamping the mace, the owner of Thunderstrike can revert to their mortal human form, dressed in whatever clothes they had last wore in that form, while the mace transforms into a wooden cane. Then, by stamping the cane they turn back into their superhuman form, and the cane again becomes the mace. Kevin used the properties of this enchantment to change the appearence of his superhuman form twice.; Force Projection: Being a mace, Thunderstrike can be used as a blunt force melee weapon or as a throwing weapon. Based on the theory that it has the same attributes as Mjolnir, it can absorb, magnify, and return almost any type of force or energy. By itself, the mace could create ground tremors, when struck against the ground, or whirlwinds, when swung around. They can also use the mace to project powerful blasts of mystical energy and lightning blasts.; Flight: By throwing the mace and gripping its strap, the owner of Thunderstrike can fly. The mace magically enables the owner to survive the adverse conditions of outer space, including its lack of oxygen.; Portal Creation: When swung at a particular pitch, the mace can open a portal to any desired dimension (such as Asgard). Thunderstrike was used to transport people from point to point on Earth in Thunderstrike #16.; Energy Sensing: The mace can detect most types of energy. It reacts particularly strongly to evil psychic energy.; Illumination: The mace can glow to provide a limited amount of light.; Energy Projection: Thunderstrike can launch powerful bursts of mystic energy and lightning blasts.; Allspeak: The wielder of Thunderstrike is able to access the Allspeak allowing them can communicate in all of the languages of the Nine Realms, Earth's dialects, and various alien languages. Trivia: The engraving on the side of the mace, "The World Still Needs Heroes" is also what Thor added to Eric Masterson's gravestone after he died from the battle between his own personality and the one that came with the Bloodaxe. History: When Thor returned and reclaimed the Mjolnir, Odin created the Thunderstrike mace as a replacement for Eric Masterson.; After the death of Eric Masterson, the Thunderstrike mace was given to the US Government who turned it over to the Avengers.; Years later Steve Rogers gave the mace to Eric's troubled son Kevin. When Kevin accidentally activated the mace, he turned into an exact duplicate of his father when he was Thunderstrike. Under the tutelage of a Valkyrie, Kevin eventually modified his transformed appearance, as well as transforming the wooden cane into a necklace with a miniature version of Thunderstrike. ============================================================ Terrigen Mist Kind: item Page: Terrigen Mist Formal name: Terrigen Mists Other aliases: Mists of Terrigen "a DNA-altering drug,"; Terrigan Mists; Terragin Mists; T-Mist; ----; Terrigen Wave; T-Cloud Type: Drug First appearance: Thor Vol 1 146 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Inhuman; Kree Current owner: Inhumans Previous owners: Quicksilver; O*N*E Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: According to Maximus the Terrigen Clouds that were released are "adulterated" which means it isn't pure.

Terrigen Crystals were mentioned as part of an "accident" caused by Maximus which gave Black Bolt his uncontrollable sonic voice later in life.; Terrigen from the Terrigen Cloud smells good, and kind of like a bakery or cinnamon, at least to the Nobili.; There is a brand of soda named "Terrigen Mist" in the Marvel Universe. History: Terrigen Mist is a mutagenic, or mutation-causing, substance arising as a vapor from the Terrigen Crystals, which are able to alter Inhuman biology. It was discovered by an Inhuman geneticist named Randac.; When Terrigen Crystals are exposed to water at the correct temperature, they react to produce the Terrigen Mist vapor. These mists are pumped into flux chambers during the process of "Terrigenesis".; The mists have been used to restore the abilities of most depowered mutants. However, the process is only temporary and often hazardous as the mutations are not only restored, but enhanced to such a degree that the mutants are overwhelmed by them.; When the villainous Thanos invaded the Earth looking for his bastard son Thane of Inhuman descent, the Inhuman king Black Bolt released massive amounts of Terrigen Mist into Earth's atmosphere through the activation of a Terrigen Bomb. The global distribution of the mists caused millions of humans who possessed a latent Inhuman gene to undergo Terrigenesis and develop powers. After spreading across the face of Earth, the Terrigen Mists settled in the form of two enormous clouds that roamed the planet, propelled by natural wind currents. Unfortunately, the molecular composition of the Terrigen Mists changed after being mixed with the atmosphere, turning them into a substance toxic for mutants. The illness suffered by most mutants when entering in contact with the Terrigen Clouds became known as M-Pox.; Tensions arose between mutants and Inhumans when Emma Frost used the powers of Alchemy to destroy one of the two clouds, objects which were considered sacred by Inhumans. The representatives of the two species called a truce in order to work out a peaceful solution. X-Man and biophysicist Beast agreed to stay with the Inhumans in New Attilan in order to find a cure for this predicament.; After discovering the remaining cloud was weeks from reaching a saturation point, which would've caused it to become assimilated with the atmosphere and render the Earth uninhabitable for mutants, Beast informed his fellow X-Men before reporting to Medusa. The leaders of the different factions of the X-Men captured Beast and decided to take the matter in their own hands. Believing the Inhumans would refuse to destroy the cloud even at this moment, the X-Men launched a tactical attack on the Inhumans, neutralizing key players, mainly by trapping them in Limbo, and seizing control of New Attilan so they could destroy the Terrigen Cloud using a machine created by Forge with no interruptions. Two of the newest Inhumans, Iso and Inferno, managed to escape the assault on New Attilan and destroy Forge's machine, taking him hostage.; The two young Inhumans then called reinforcements in the form of other NuHumans, including Mosaic, who used his powers to infiltrate Muir Island and learn the X-Men's reason behind their attack, later reporting that to his peers, which prompted the NuHumans to join forces with Forge to come up with a new solution.; The NuHumans then travelled to Iceland, the latest location of the Terrigen Cloud, but were soon confronted by the X-Men, who had no idea of their plans. The royal Inhumans joined the brawl, having escaped from Limbo and regrouped. The battle was interrupted when Ennilux arrived, having provided Forge and Moon Girl with the resources to build the machine necessary to eliminate the Terrigen Cloud. Medusa was notified of what was at stake and given the trigger to activate the device. In spite of what the destruction of the Terrigen Cloud meant for Inhumans, Medusa activated the machine, destroying the Cloud and ending the threat of the M-Pox. ============================================================ Terrigen Crystals Kind: item Page: Terrigen Crystals Formal name: Terrigen Crystals Type: Jewel First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 45 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Kree; Inhuman Lead designer: Kree Additional designers: Inhumans Place of creation: Attilan Current owner: Inhumans Previous owners: Quicksilver; Rictor Model: Unique Version: Unique Notes: Maximus used the last Terrigen Crystal in known existence to empower the Unspoken. History: Terrigen is an incredible rare mineral first created by the Kree as part of their attempts at recreating Primagen, which gives rise to the Terrigen Mist. Guarded by the Inhumans, these crystals formed in the subterranean Terrigen Waters on Earth's Moon near the city of Attilan. When exposed to water at the correct temperature, the crystals react with the water to produce the Terrigen Mist vapor. These mists are pumped into flux chambers during the process of "Terrigenesis." The crystals themselves are kept in a sealed cavern below the surface of Attilan, where they are constantly exposed to heat and saline water. ============================================================ Theta Virus (Earth-93060) Kind: item Page: Theta Virus Formal name: Theta Virus Type: Virus First appearance: Ultraverse Exiles Vol 1 1 Created by: Steve Gerber; Tom Mason; Dave Olbrich; Chris Ulm; Paul Pelletier Reality: Earth-93060 History: An alien virus introduced into Earth's environment to eliminate potentially hazardous threats. The Theta Virus targeted humans with Ultra potential, causing a lethal breakdown of their cellular structure and eventually death. Dr. Rachel Deming found a cure, using recombinant messenger-RNA sequencing to save the lives of Theta infectees. A side effect was that 99% of those people treated by Deming also manifested Ultra powers. She brought these Ultras together to become the Exiles. ============================================================ Thrudstok Kind: item Page: Thrudstok Formal name: Thrudstok Other aliases: Scepter Supreme; Scepter of Supremacy Type: Scepter First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 123 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Previous owners: Odin Material: Uru History: The Thrudstok is a power scepter, a small mace. Like Gungnir, it is made of Uru. Thrudstok has no powers on its own; rather, it served as a conduit through which Odin could channel his power.; The Thrudstok has been used for many climactic events in the Marvel Universe, however, at times, Odin has merely used it as a remote control-like item to activate his Visi-Screen. ============================================================ Thor's Battle Armor Kind: item Page: Thor's Battle Armor Type: Magical Armor First appearance: Thor Vol 1 378 Created by: Walter Simonson; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian Lead designer: Thor Additional designers: Tony Stark Place of creation: Damascus Steel Current owner: Thor Material: Asgardian steel inscribed with the sacred sunes of Odin History: Originally designed to help Thor hold himself together after a curse placed on him by Hela made his bones as brittle as glass and unable to heal if damaged; and rendered him truly immortal and unable to die no matter how severe his injuries. Thor eventually broke his arm in battle with the Marauders because of the curse, and Tony Stark helped his old friend by designing a sort of "armored cast" for Thor's left arm; Thor was also forced to grow a beard to hide the scars on his face around this time, which Thor would keep for a long time (his beard is usually associated with Thor's armored look). Thor designed the rest of his armor around the "armored cast", forging it at Damascus Steel, where he had once reforged Mjolnir. Even after Thor's body is restored, he would occasionally don the armor for heavy battles, usually at points when he also had a beard; The first version of the armor Thor owned was eventually destroyed during an intense battle on Pangoria. It is presumed Thor soon after rebuilt the armor, possibly once again at Damascus Steel. Thor also donned the battle armor to fight an evil duplicate of himself after being weakened from another curse, this time placed on him by Loki. Thor eventually creates other armored looks over the years that look different from the original armor. ============================================================ Tiboro's Coat Kind: item Page: Tiboro's Coat Formal name: Tiboro's Coat Other aliases: Coat of Arms Type: Suit First appearance: Dark Reign: Young Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Paul Cornell; Mark Brooks Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Coat of Arms; | PreviousOwner(s) = Tiboro Model: Unique Properties: Coat grants its wearer the ability to sprout up to four extra arms as well as the ability to fly.; Lisa Molinari was able to produce, from its pockets, a magical chain strong enough to bind The Sentry and Coat of Arms hinted that the coat contains even more such artifacts.; The coat was shown generating a protective force field, but Coat of Arms had a small device (which may or may not have been retrieved from her coat) in her hand at the time, which could have been responsible for the field. History: The coat was identified by Norman Osborn as having belonged to Tiboro.; At some point the coat found Lisa Molinari and with it she became "Coat of Arms". ============================================================ Terrax's Axe Kind: item Page: Terrax's Axe Formal name: Terrax's Axe Other aliases: Cosmic Axe Type: Axe First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 211 Created by: Marv Wolfman; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Galactus Current owner: Terrax the Tamer Properties: Terrax wields a cosmic axe, that is empowered with the Power Cosmic, which provides it with several powers of its own to use:; Destructive Wave Generation: It is capable of emanating waves of destructive force sufficiently powerful to rend a tear in Galactus' own ship, in addition to destroying a planet.; Forcefield Generation: It can project highly impervious force shields.; Power Augmentation: Since it operates independently of rock and earth, the axe augments the scope of Terrax's power. Notes: After the Phoenix Force incinerated Birj, the axe was the only thing visibly left intact afterward, implying Terrax had been consumed. He appears to have been later reconstituted. History: This axe is Terrax's main weapon of choice. ============================================================ Thing Exoskeleton Kind: item Page: Thing Exoskeleton Formal name: Thing Suit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 169 Created by: Roy Thomas; Rich Buckler Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by Reed Richards for Ben Grimm to wear during a period of time in which he had lost his powers Lead designer: Reed Richards Current owner: Darla Deering Previous owners: Ben Grimm Model: I Version: I History: During a battle with the Hulk, the Thing lost his powers due to a prolonged proximity to the Hulk, causing the ambient gamma radiation coming from the Hulk's body to reverse the effects of the cosmic rays that had mutated Ben into the Thing years earlier. Fellow Fantastic Four member Mr. Fantastic developed an exo-suit for Ben to wear that resembled his previous mutated form to imitate his powers.; The suit was highly durable, and although Richards had hoped that it would boost Ben's strength to the level of heroes like Luke Cage, in reality it proved to be at least 90% as powerful as Ben in his Thing form. The "head" of the suit was removable from the main body, and Ben could remove it via a zipper down the front which would remain hidden when it was zipped up. Likewise, when the suit was being removed, it would collapse as though it were made of cloth. Reed also installed a means of triggering the suit to become undone through controls hidden inside the suit so that Ben could take off the costume in situations where his hands were bound. The suit was also airtight and able to resist the vacuum of space for a few minutes, provided that the suit's mouth was kept closed. Ben first used the suit to stop the temporary Fantastic Four replacement Power Man from breaking the Puppet Master out of prison.; Ben wore the suit when he travelled back in time with the Fantastic Four to World War II to aid the Invaders in stopping Baron Zemo from utilizing one-half of a cylinder of Vibranium that was accidentally sent into the past, and later aiding the Liberty Legion in stopping Brain Drain and his three Nazi operatives from using the other half of the cylinder to attack the United States, before returning to his own time. Ben also fought the New Man known as Gorr the Golden Gorilla when his arrival on Earth caused him to grow to gigantic size. Accompanying the restored Gorr and the Fantastic Four to Counter-Earth, he battled against the Destroyer armor, then a Herald of Galactus outside of the High Evolutionary's artificial world. The suit was able to withstand a direct blast from Galactus himself. When Ben and Reed were sent to the planet Mekka to see if its inhabitants would be willing to sacrifice their world to save Counter-Earth from Galactus, he and Reed were taken as prisoners by Mekka's ruler and Ben's old ally, Torgo. Using the internal release mechanism built into the suit, Ben was able to escape his restraints and free Reed as well. Teleported back to Counter-Earth, Ben battled Galactus directly. Galactus, noticing that something was different about Ben, blasted him with cosmic rays, which (following the defeat of Galactus) caused Ben to revert back to his mutated form. As he was wearing the suit when this transformation happened, his growing body ended up destroying it.; The suit was repaired (presumably by Reed Richards) and when Ben lost his powers again, he used it to aid the Avengers in opposing the Deviant Ghaur's attempted invasion of New York. He wore it to travel into the realm of Set with Dr. Strange, Thor, and Quasar; and later to aid the Fantastic Four and the Avengers in defeating Ghaur and his minion, Llyra, foiling their plot to bring Set to Earth.; During the Acts of Vengeance conspiracy, the Fantastic Four were attacked by villains under the control of Dr. Doom while testifying to Congress. Ben donned the suit once more and battled the Super-Adaptoid, helping the Fantastic Four to stop the attack. Later, while investigating temporal anomalies on an island, Reed, Sue, Johnny, and the She-Thing lost their powers, so Ben wore the suit to defend them from dinosaurs brought to the present by the anomaly until the situation could be reversed. When appearing in public with the reformed villain the Sandman to watch a game on TV at a bar, Ben wore the suit again.; Ben next wore the suit to aid S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury on a mission into outer space to take back a satellite that had been hijacked by Peter Lohan.; During another period after Ben regained his powers, then lost them again, the suit was modified to resemble a further mutated form that Ben had once maintained for a while. In this modification, Ben wore the suit to distract Namor the Sub-Mariner long enough until his surprise birthday party was ready. Restored to its original appearance, Ben wore the suit when welcoming Alex Power of the Power Pack to Four Freedoms Plaza. Ben would wear the suit again to aid Alpha Flight in freeing their comrades, who were under the control of Headlok. During the final battle, the suit was destroyed in a fight against Sasquatch, one of the Alphans under Headlok's control.; The suit was repaired once more, and Ben wore it in battle alongside the Fantastic Four and the "New" Fantastic Four (a temporary team consisting of Wolverine, Spider-Man, the Hulk, and the Ghost Rider) to battle the Mole Man. He also wore the suit to defend Four Freedoms Plaza when it was attacked by the Presence; again when aiding the Fantastic Four and the Guardians of the Galaxy in battling Korvac's ancestor Jaboa Murphy, and yet again when the Fantastic Four were being tested by the cosmically powered Kosmos and Kubik.; Ben last wore the suit in an attempt to try and help fellow teammate Sharon Ventura get used to her She-Thing form. However, when this proved to only annoy her more than help her, Ben opted to abandon the suit and have his powers restored to him.; The current user of the Thing Exoskeleton is Darla Deering, a pop star and ex-girlfriend of Johnny Storm. When the team went away on a long mission, each member chose a replacement except Johnny, who at the last minute asked Darla to take his place, to which she agreed. Due to not having any powers, she was given the suit, which was modified by Dragon Man. She can access the suit via two rings dubbed the Thing Rings. ============================================================ Thunderbolt (Drug) Kind: item Page: Thunderbolt (Drug) Formal name: Thunderbolt Other aliases: Riding the thunderbolt Type: Drug First appearance: Wolverine Vol 2 31 Created by: Larry Hama; Marc Silvestri Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Japanese Lead designer: Dr. Malheur Place of creation: Madripoor Current owner: Yakuza Properties: The drug grants its user:; Incredible euphoria.; Heightened strength.; Increased endurance.; An inability to feel pain.; However, it may also cause death within one hour of consumption.

One dose of Thunderbolt imparts super-human strength, endurance, total pain-suppression and an ultimate ecstatic rapture that lasts for an hour and ends in death.; Taking Thunderbolt was referred to as "riding the thunderbolt". The effects of Thunderbolt was "awakening the dragon within", and a user described it as "time to take the roller-coaster to the end of consciousness and fly off into oblivion." A resident of Madripoor described it as "It allows you to see God."; The drug was developed and initially pitched to Prince Baran of Madripoor as a cure for cancer, in order to encourage him to lift the sanctions on the protected status of the Madripoorian Spider-Monkey. It was also pitched to Tyger Tiger and General Coy under the same ruse in order to access their criminal resources to enable hunting, manufacturing and smuggling of the monkey brain fluids back to Japan. The operation was busted by Wolverine. ============================================================ Thermic Stabilizer Kind: item Page: Thermic Stabilizer Formal name: Thermic Stabilizer Type: Energy Weapon; Firearm First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 59 Created by: Chris Claremont; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Margay Sorenson Additional designers: Spider Man Current owner: Margay Sorenson History: Margay Sorenson attempted to use the Thermic Stabilizer against his son Equinox when he attacked Spider Man; Yellowjacket and the Wasp on York Avenue.

The ball is attached to a four foot long chain. The wrecking ball, when thrown, can change its direction in midair and is capable of returning to Thunderball in a similar fashion as Wrecker's crowbar and Thor's hammer. Thunderball has sufficient strength to spin the wrecking ball on its chain fast enough to deflect bullets and automatic gunfire. By slamming the wrecking ball on the ground, Thunderball can cause minor localized earthquakes, knocking his opponents off-balance. It is also durable enough to be thrown into buildings and other structures, knocking them down with no damage to itself.; Thunderball loses his strength at times when separated from the wrecking ball for extended periods. Reconnecting with his wrecking ball (or Wrecker's crowbar) can restore him. ============================================================ Thermo-Cannon Kind: item Page: Thermo-Cannon Formal name: Thermo-Cannon Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 28 Created by: David Michelinie; Steven Butler Reality: Earth-616 Place of destruction: Colorado Previous owners: Avengers; Spider-Man History: When Carnage was being transferred from the Vault, Spider-Man asked the Avengers to loan him the Thermo-Cannon and followed the convoy, but the weapon was destroyed by Carnage as soon as he attempted to escape from the mobile transportation unit in Colorado. ============================================================ Thing Rings Kind: item Page: Thing Rings Formal name: Thing Rings Type: Ring First appearance: The Thing (animated series) Season 1 1 Created by: Ray Patterson; George Gordon; Carl Urbano; Matt Fraction; Mike Allred Reality: Earth-616; Earth-700974 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Dragon Man Additional designers: Mister Fantastic Place of creation: Baxter Building, 42nd Street, Manhattan, New York City, New York, U.S.A.

History: After joining the Fantastic Four, Darla Deering began using the Thing Suit. To ease the use, Dragon Man created the Thing Rings as a less cumbersome way to carry and activate the Thing Suit.; Darla kept the Thing Rings after resigning from the Fantastic Four/Future Foundation. ============================================================ Terrigen Bomb (Multiverse) Kind: item Page: Terrigen Bomb Formal name: Terrigen Bomb Other aliases: T-Bomb; Utterance of Destiny; The Great Machine; The Well Type: Bomb First appearance: Earth X Vol 1 9 Created by: Jim Krueger; Alex Ross; John Paul Leon Reality: Multiverse Origin: Inhuman; Bomb filled with Terrigen Crystals, meant to released Terrigen Mist to achieve more or less global or universal Terrigenesis Lead designer: Maximus the Mad Place of creation: Attilan; Hala Place of destruction: Shi'ar Galaxy; New York City; Earth Previous owners: Inhumans; Black Bolt; Maximus the Mad Trivia: The Terrigen Bomb originated from Earth X Vol 1 9 and was later brought over to the mainstream continuity. This included the idea of spreading Terrigen Mist all over the globe. History: ===War of Kings===; The T-Bomb was built by Maximus the Mad during the war between the Kree Empire (led by the Inhumans) and the Shi'ar Empire. The purpose of the bomb was to spread the Terrigen Mist throughout the universe in an attempt to remove genetic and racial differences and usher in a new era of peace by turning all species into Inhumans. Because the bomb was powered by his voice, Black Bolt had to be inside the bomb in order to charge and ultimately detonate it.; Before the bomb could be fully charged, Vulcan attacked it. In the ensuing battle, Black Bolt used his powerful voice to incapacitate him, but inadvertently overloaded the weapon. Before the bomb could detonate, Crystal teleported on board with the aid of Lockjaw and rendered the Terrigen Crystals inert. Seconds before she could rescue Black Bolt, Vulcan regained consciousness and resumed his attack. After Crystal and Lockjaw fled, Black Bolt detonated the bomb. The explosion wiped out 87% of the Shi'ar Imperial Fleet, tore a hole in space and time, and ended the Kree-Shi'ar war with a decisive Kree/Inhuman victory.; clear; ===Infinity===; A second Terrigen Bomb was developed by Black Bolt in anticipation of Thanos's arrival on Earth looking for his son Thane, an Inhuman living in one of the numerous hidden tribes whose inhabitants hadn't endured Terrigenesis, for which the Mad Titan had demanded the heads of Inhuman younglings between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two, or the annihilation of Earth's inhabitants.; When Thanos raided Attilan to claim the tribute, he found only Black Bolt waiting for him. When the villain threatened him, Black Bolt unleashed a powerful scream which tore down Attilan itself and activated the Terrigen Bomb, spreading the Mists across the Earth. As the Terrigen Cloud expanded, all those with Inhuman lineage underwent Terrigenesis, including Thane and the inhabitants of the hidden tribes.; The Terrigen Bomb revealed a secret that was only known to Black Bolt and Maximus: Long ago, a sect of Inhumans split from Attilan and intermingled with humans, spreading the Inhuman genes around the world. Their existence was kept hidden, even from Queen Medusa. The Bomb triggered Terrigenesis on thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands or more, worldwide. The affected are called "NuHumans." ============================================================ Terrigen Codex Kind: item Page: Terrigen Codex Formal name: Terrigen Codex Other aliases: The Codex; Inhuman Codex; Hidden Archives of Inhuman Kings and Queens Type: Technology First appearance: Infinity Vol 1 2 Created by: Jonathan Hickman Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Inhuman Lead designer: Inhumans Current owner: Inhuman Royal Family Previous owners: Lineage History: The Terrigen Codex contains all hidden knowledge of Inhumans, including records of the entire Inhuman genome since the beginning of their creation. ============================================================ Thorbuster Armor (Earth-8096) Kind: item Page: Thorbuster Armor (Earth-8096) Formal name: Thorbuster Armor Other aliases: Asgardianbuster Type: Armor; Technology First appearance: Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (animated series) Season 1 20 Created by: Christopher Yost Reality: Earth-8096 Origin: Asgardian Lead designer: Iron Man Additional designers: Eitri Place of creation: Nidavellir Current owner: Eitri Previous owners: Tony Stark Material: Uru History: When Baron Zemo used the Norn Stones; Iron Man was transported to Nidavellir.

Common sides effects include abject eye-bulging terror, and loss of sanity. An inexperienced user is likely to pass out. History: The Third Eye of Horus was an item given to Beast by Doctor Strange during an emergency to allow the X-Man to see the Shadow Creatures of the Twelfth Dimension.; The first use of the Third Eye caused Beast to pass out. When he used it a second time, words spoken by Strange earlier allowed him to grasp a better control of the item and see the magical creatures in an appearance more suited to his scientific mind. After exiling the Shadow Creatures, Strange let Beast keep the mask. ============================================================ Thermo-Lance Kind: item Page: Thermo-Lance Formal name: Thermo-Lance Type: Technology; Spear First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 350 Created by: Walt Simonson Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Notes: Both the comic Fantastic Four Vol 1 350 and the book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 say that the thermo-lance channels "a million megavolts of energy", per Doom's words. A Megavolt is not a unit of energy - energy is measured in Joules. History: This item, developed by Doctor Doom, included a very insulated metallic cilinder connected to a huge generator via cables, thus it was not portable. The thermo-lance was a weapon that could channel up to one teravolt of energy (sic.) into its victim at point-blank range. It was powerful enough to hurt even The Thing, one of Doom's main enemies.; Doctor Doom built one unit of the thermo-lance, which he hid within a laboratory at his castle in Latveria. He once took there willing Ms. Marvel, who had become a "She-Thing", to turn her human again using another machine. Ms. Marvel's friends the Fantastic Four raided the castle in a misguided attempt to rescue her. With Ms. Marvel barely conscious, the Thing confronted Doom in that laboratory and put him against the ropes. Ventura recovered and, considering Doom an ally for the day, she took the thermo-lance to attack the Thing, managing to stun him. Doom took his chance and, using a new attack, knocked the Thing down. ============================================================ Terra Cotta Warriors Kind: item Page: Terra Cotta Warriors Formal name: Terra Cotta Warriors Type: Statue First appearance: Agents of Atlas Vol 1 4 Created by: Jeff Parker; Leonard Kirk Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Yellow Claw History: A set of warriors made of clay, animated by Golden Claw to attack Jimmy Woo. ============================================================ Terrigen Eater Kind: item Page: Terrigen Eater Formal name: Terrigen Eater Type: Technology First appearance: Extraordinary X-Men Vol 1 18 Created by: Jeff Lemire; Victor Ibanez; Andrea Sorrentino Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Forge Place of creation: X-Haven, Limbo History: The Terrigen Eater was the machine designed and built by Forge to destroy the Terrigen Cloud. ============================================================ Thanatosian Tomes Kind: item Page: Thanatosian Tomes Formal name: Thanatosian Tomes Type: Magical Book First appearance: Marvel Premiere Vol 1 4 Created by: Roy Thomas; Archie Goodwin Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Additional designers: Marquis de Rais (translator) Notes: The Thanatosian Tomes are presumably inspired by books of ancient knowledge and horrors created within the Cthulhu Mythos, such as the Necronomicon, the Celeano Fragment, Nameless Cults or the Pnakotic Manuscripts, among others. History: The Thanatosian Tomes were forbidden books about forbidden cults and dark gods, Shuma-Gorath and the Old Ones.; They were translated by 1623 by the Marquis de Rais.; By the Modern Age, the Thanatosian Tomes were known to magic users as a "forbidden" and "hellish" volume, and a "dark chronicle".; Those books could be found in the local library of Starkesboro, and were seemingly studied by Doctor Strange under the Ancient One's tutelage.; ==Content==; The Thanatosian Tomes recounted information on cosmic obscenity that slumber and on the cults and lost races trying to end that slumber.; "Some gods die ============================================================ Thor's Hammer Pendant Kind: item Page: Thor's Hammer Pendant Type: Amulet First appearance: X-Factor Vol 3 207 Created by: Peter David; Sebastian Fiumara Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Agamemnon Current owner: Multiple Man Previous owners: Pip the Troll; Agamemnon Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: Transformation: Thor's Hammer Pendant allows the user to transform into a fully human form.; Undetectability: While wearing the Thor's Hammer Pendant, Hela was unable to locate Pip.

Inside the issue itself, however, Archon calls it the Thorned Crown. The Secret Avengers' profile in Avengers: Roll Call Vol 1 1 later identifies it as the Crown of Thorns. As of Secret Avengers Vol 1 29, it goes back to being identified as the Serpent Crown. History: The Thorned Crown was part of a set of three crowns created by the Martians who had been touched by the Abyss to channel the power of his Dark Children. Under the influence of the crowns, these Martians tried to break their own world apart to awaken the Darkest Child, who would in turn awaken his brothers to free their nameless father from his prison. However, their plan was thwarted by the Archons, a race of constructs created by the Watchers to guard the Abyss and wait for his eventual return. The nearly destroyed planet was eventually abandoned, with the only Archon who managed to survive the ordeal remaining behind to guard the crowns.; A millennia later, a subversive organization allied with the Dark Children (presumably for power) called the Shadow Council allowed Roxxon to dig up in Mars in the hopes that they could find the three crowns for them. The Shadow Council eventually found the Thorned Crown and enshrined it. After Steve Rogers sent him to check on the Roxxon drilling facility on Mars, Nova ended up finding the Thorned Crown and was influenced into donning it, being possessed by the Darkest Child in the process. The possessed Nova went on to try and break the seal to awaken the Darkest Child, but the Secret Avengers arrived just in time to stop him. The Thorned Crown was then taken by the Archon to a safer place. Despite this, however, the Shadow Council got their hands on the crown at a later point.; Once in possession of all three crowns, Shadow Council leader Max Fury merged them together and donned the merged crown to become the Abyss' vessel, but that didn't work as he was a Life Model Decoy. The merged crown was then donned by a wounded Taskmaster, who had been shot by Max Fury after delivering him the Crown of Wolves. The possessed Taskmaster proceeded to take control of the minds of the new Masters of Evil, who were assembled by Fury to serve as an army for the dark entity, and the Secret Avengers, who tried in vain to prevent Fury from acquiring the three crowns. The Secret Avengers Agent Venom and Ant-Man, who weren't affected by the Abyss' influence due to one being a symbiote host and the other secretly a Life-Model Decoy, fought against the Abyss as he tried to spread his influence beyond Bagalia and managed to severe his connection to Earth by bonding the Venom symbiote to Taskmaster and unmerging the three crowns. The crowns were then confiscated by the Secret Avengers, who tucked them away, separated in remote vaults across the Microverse. ============================================================ Thermonutron Missile Kind: item Page: Thermonutron Missile Formal name: Thermonutron Missile Type: Missile First appearance: Runaways Vol 3 2 Created by: Terry Moore; Humberto Ramos Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant Skrull History: The war between the Skrulls and Majesdanians came to a cataclysmic end.

Although that machine was later able to transport Godzilla, it seems that the creature's radiation caused it to transport Godzilla sideways in time to Earth-78411 instead of back in time to the Cretaceous Period. The radiation also induced a slingshot effect and eventually rejected Godzilla's irradiated form and hurled him back to the present (Earth-616) from which he had been sent.; Initially, the machine required an operator to manipulate a stationary control console that was separate from the platform while someone else used it to time travel. Later, Doom modified his own armor to incorporate the needed circuitry into it, so that he could time-travel and remotely operate the platform. Later still, Doom added time-circuitry to his armor so that he could time travel without using the time platform.; Reed Richards has also modified his version of Doom's time platform to enable it to be controlled by the travelers, first by adding a control system that was physically attached to the time platform and traveled with it and later by using small remote-control devices.; Although part of the time platform is often called the "chrono-square" and the device's entry in Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 states that its surface area is 10 feet by 10 feet, the time platform has often been depicted as being rectangular in shape and about twice as long as it was wide. On one occasion, the surface of the chronal transporter was circular.; In Captain Britain and MI13 Vol 1 10, Doom stated that he had studied under one of Dracula's greatest enemies, suggesting that Doom has traveled back in time to study under Abraham van Helsing.; While the seven-part "Lost in Space-Time" storyline in West Coast Avengers Vol 2 17 was the longest single storyline to involve the time platform and provided dates for the reigns of the evil and benevolent Rama-Tuts, it was not without a couple of glitches.; First, although Hawkeye believed that the time machine that had transported them back into the past was the same one he had used in his previous trip to the Old West, that time machine had actually been shown returning to the present in Avengers Vol 1 140. So, where did the time machine that Dominus found actually originate?; Second, while travelling in 1776, the time-lost Avengers almost encountered Doctor Strange and Clea walking with Benjamin Franklin in the streets of Philadelphia. This is meant to be a call-back to events depicted in Doctor Strange Vol 2 18. However, that two-part story was established as taking place from March to May of the year 1775. So how could the Avengers in 1776 almost run into Strange, Clea and Franklin in 1775?; Since its first appearance, the time platform has always been shown to be capable of transporting its passengers to any place on Earth at any time. So far, the damaged time platform found in the Arizona desert, the one that was only able to send passengers back in time, is the only one that has been unable to move in space as well as time, with each use transporting it and its passengers back in time to the very same location, relative to the Earth, where they were when they began their journey.; Given that the position of Castle Doom changes constantly through the universe as time goes by because of the Earth's rotation and orbit, and the movement of the Solar System, and the Milky Way, and so on, the time platform also acts as a "space machine," and can also be used to transport individuals through space instead of time, or both.; According to the Marvel Chronology Project, Doom's time-jumps in X-Men/Dr. Doom Annual Vol 1 1998 begin and end at Castle Doom sometime before he was lost in space at the end of Fantastic Four Vol 1 23, However, the history laid out in Marvel Saga the Official History of the Marvel Universe Vol 1 13 contradicts that by listing the events of X-Men Vol 1 4 as taking place after the events of Fantastic Four Vol 1 25.; In Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Comics Magazine Vol 1 4, after his minions had stolen the time platform from the Baxter Building and brought it to his American castle, Doctor Doom declared that he had been without his time machine "for far too long." This comment is puzzling because the time platform had been shown to have been returned to that very castle sometime prior to Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 20, and that story definitely took place before the events of that maxi-series. It has been suggested that, contrary to what he said, Doom having had "his" time machine stolen back from the FF in Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Comics Magazine Vol 1 1 was more a matter of pride than any actual need.; The way in which the time platform has been shown to function has varied over time. As a result, people who've used the time platform have seemingly been shown teleporting through time or passing through a time portal or riding through the timestream.; On some occasions, the people that are standing on the time platform's sending surface when the machine is activated become transparent and disappear, then suddenly reappear at their destination in the past. When it is time for them to return, that sending surface (or retriever) appears floating in the air high above where they arrived and then lowers down to ground level, causing the travelers to return to their own time as the surface (acting like a time portal) passes through them.; On other occasions, travel both to and from a destination occurs when the time transporter plane rises up (or descends down) through the travelers, acting as a mobile time portal through which they pass.; On still other occasions, the time platform has acted like a vehicle upon which its passengers ride through the timesteam.; On one occasion, the time platform apparently just projected its passenger into the timestream.; How the time platform functions in any given story affects whether or not it actually travels with the travelers in that particular story.; The time platform can be programmed to recalibrate the atomic vibration rates of its passengers so that they will be out of phase with the matter of their destination era. This renders the travelers invisible, inaudible and intangible to everyone except themselves, thereby preventing their noncontemporaneous physical presence from disrupting history. History: ===Origin===; Doctor Doom invented this time machine using both science and magic. Unlike most other forms of time travel, it can change history. The platform could send anyone who stood on its platform back into the past. The original platform was located in Castle Doom.; Several years before the rocket flight that created the Fantastic Four, scientist Nathaniel Richards constructed a time platform in his laboratory in a sub-basement of the Richards Family Estate in Central City, California. After arranging things so that he could not be legally declared dead, Richards tried to use his time machine to travel ten years into his future, leaving the machine still operational. However, instead of traveling forward in time, he was shunted sideways into a parallel time-stream, arriving on Earth-6311 on the same day he left Earth-616.; Operating out of his castle in the Adirondack Mountains, Doom used his time platform to travel back to 1942. With his head swathed in bandages, supposedly due to a recent laboratory fire, "Hans" spent months working with physicist Doctor Olsen on constructing a dimensional gateway, secretly hoping to learn something that would help him contact his dead mother in the Spirit World. When he decided he had learned enough about both the gateway technology and the Third Reich, "Hans" sabotaged Hitler's scheme to deceive Thor into fighting on behalf of the Nazis, destroyed the gateway and left, using the time platform to return to his own time. However, his departure had been witnessed by Baron Strucker who then accidentally followed Doom back to the future where he soon discovered that the Nazis were going to lose World War II. After reading and then stealing some history books from that time, Strucker returned to the castle and was briefly confronted by Doom who then allowed him to use the time platform to return to 1942.; The first time Doom attacked the Fantastic Four, he kidnapped the Invisible Girl and forced the other three members of the team to use the time platform to go back in time to the early 18th century and retrieve Blackbeard's treasure chest from the past. Doom hoped the treasure inside the chest would include the Stones of Merlin, gems that could make him ruler of the Earth. During this trip, the Thing took on the identity of Blackbeard (meaning he had actually gone back in time to find himself to be the man he was looking for). Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards) outsmarted Doom by bringing the chest back to the present, not the treasure itself. In the struggle that followed, Doom was defeated and he abandoned the time platform, although eventually Doom built a second unit of it.; Later, Reed Richards read from a hieroglyph that there had once been a radioactive herb which apparently cured the blindness of a pharaoh during a mostly unrecorded era of Ancient Egyptian history. The Fantastic Four decided to use Dr. Doom's time machine to travel into the past and retrieve this element in order to restore Alicia Masters' vision. Once in the past, they were attacked by an Egyptian army that took them prisoner when their powers failed them. Brought before the army's master, the Pharaoh known as Rama-Tut, they learned that he was actually a time traveler from the year 3000 who, upon arriving in Egyptian times, had lost his vision but soon restored it with a rare herb which, after being exposed to the radiation from his damaged time machine, had become an Optic Nerve Restorative. Once he had regained his sight, Rama-Tut had been able to conquer the area and had ruled it ever since. The Fantastic Four ended Rama-Tut's operation, forcing him to flee in his time ship. Upon returning to the present, the FF discovered that the vial of Optic Nerve Restorative was gone, leading Reed to theorize that time platform couldn't transport radioactive substances such as the restorative herb they had traveled into the past to retrieve.; The time platform was then relocated to the Baxter Building so that Reed could study it. During this time, a dinosaur accidentally arrived from prehistoric times while Ben and Johnny were supposed to be watching the time machine, and it was eventually captured and returned to its own time.; At Castle Doom in Latveria, when Doom commanded his Seer to show him the future, the Seer projected an image of Onslaught. Doom recognized that the being was very powerful but was frustrated when the Seer knew nothing about it besides its name. Noticing a similarity between Onslaught's vestments and the costume worn by Magneto, whose attempt to take over the country of Santo Marco had failed just a few days earlier, Doom suspected that there was some connection between the two. Believing that Onslaught was a vessel for some vast power source that he could harness and make his own, Doom decided to travel through the time stream in order to obtain the secret of Onslaught's creation from one of Magneto's future selves, and he brought the telepathic Seer with him to guide them on their journey. Once aboard the time platform and hidden by its cloaking bubble, Doom and the Seer traveled back to the previous month when the X-Men stopped Magneto at Cape Citadel so that the Seer could obtain Magneto's bio-signature for use as a tracing beacon, then went forward in time to scan the Magneto in those time periods for any sign of Onslaught. During their second stop in the future, they were telepathically detected by the Phoenix (then believed to be Jean Grey). Unseen by the New X-Men, Phoenix confronted the time travelers and set the time platform off-course so that it travelled to Earth-811 where Doom witnessed the death of the last of the X-Men at the hands of the Sentinels, inspiring him to create an invincible robot army of his own. While again traveling through the time stream, the Seer had a brief telepathic contact with Onslaught which made him suspect that the secret of Onslaught's creation might actually be found in Professor Charles Xavier, so Doom re-directed the time platform to several key moments in Xavier's future. However, when they had found nothing after four time-jumps, Doom set the time platform to a point after Onslaught's defeat where he confronted Magneto in order to distract him while the Seer telepathically pried the needed data from Magneto's subconscious. Now knowing where and when Onslaught was created, they traveled to the Avalon space station just as Professor Xavier wiped Magneto's mind. After shifting to the Astral Plane and seeing the Onslaught entity being born within Xavier, Doom tried to used his Absorption Transducer Module to absorb its energy but the entity was already so powerful that it was able to resist the transfer. Then, after detecting their presence, the entity sent them back to Castle Doom in their proper time. Despite the mission's failure, Doom was satisfied that he had acquired knowledge that he could use to ensure his own survival, and he then killed the Seer because knowledge was power and he did not intend to share it.; When Doctor Doom, as the head-of-state of a foreign power, made an official request for the return of his time machine, Reed Richards could not refuse, but he did duplicate it before returning it. Richards himself restored the time machine to Doom's American castle which the US Army began guarding.; The Avengers used the platform in Doom's abandoned American castle to go back in time to World War II so that Captain America could see if Bucky could have somehow survived the explosion of a drone plane that had supposedly killed him. While the Wasp stayed in the present to operate the machine, the other four were sent back to 1945 where they were intangible and invisible to all those of that era. As the time travelers watched Baron Zemo capture the past Captain America and Bucky and tie them to the drone plane he was about to launch, the Wasp was suddenly overcome by a strange drowsiness and unknowingly pressed a certain button that caused the time travelers to materialize in the past, enabling them to battle Zemo and his androids. However, their materialization was brief, and as it ended the future Cap threw his shield to that it would free his past self and Bucky from the bonds holding them. Then, after watching the booby-trapped drone plane launch and explode, presumably killing Bucky, the time travelers returned to their present. However, after returning to New York City, the Avengers sensed that something was different and they discovered what it was when they returned to Avengers Mansion and found the five original Avengers there. The two teams briefly battled, each believing the other to be imposters, until the time travelers escaped. Realizing that they were now on another Earth, the 616 Avengers sought out the Herodotron and from it learned that on this world the Scarlet Centurion had appeared to the Avengers just as the Hulk had been about to quit, and had promised to provide them with knowledge that could prevent famine and plague and vanquish evil if they would correct a cosmic imbalance caused by an excessive number of super-powered beings. Agreeing that solving all the world's ills was worth it, the 689 Avengers had set about tracking down and capturing every other super-powered being on their Earth, both super-heroes and super-villains. Concluding that Doom's dismantled time machine was their only hope, the 616 Avengers split up to retrieve the three sections and reassemble them. Along the way, they battled and defeated the 689 Avengers who had been sent to destroy them by the Centurion, then brought the three sections and their defeated foes to Doom's American castle. Just as the time machine was nearly operational, the Scarlet Centurion appeared and attacked them, revealing that he had manipulated them and caused them to materialize in the past in order to disrupt history, and had allowed them to remain alive until now so that they could defeat the more powerful 689 Avengers for him. Although the Centurion seemingly defeated all of them, Goliath was able to turn into Ant-Man, enter the time machine and activate it, turning the entire room into a huge version of the chrono-square and sending the Scarlet Centurion and the 616 Avengers out of that reality. The Watcher then appeared to the Avengers and revealed that their enemy had actually been the former Pharaoh Rama-Tut who had become the armored Scarlet Centurion after meeting Dr. Doom and who was now destined to continue traveling into the future where he would become Kang the Conqueror, an enemy they had already faced. The Watcher then removed their memories of this other-earthly adventure and caused them to rematerialize in Doom's castle on their Earth.; At one point, Doctor Doom sent the Enclave and some of his Servo-Guards on a mission to raid the Baxter Building at a time when he had arranged for the Fantastic Four to be attacked while they were away from their headquarters. Doom's minions practically demolished the interior of the FF's headquarters and wrecked much of their equipment, in part to hide the fact that they had actually retrieved all the inventions that Doom claimed Richards had stolen from him, including the time platform. Later, after all the retrieved mechanisms had been brought to Doom's castle in Upstate New York, Doom had one of his minions use the time platform to send him back months into the past so that he could find and retrieve the Cosmic Cube from where it had lain on the ocean floor since the Red Skull had dropped it while battling Captain America (as had been shown in Tales of Suspense Vol 1 81). Doom's later reference to a certain Hulk robot as a "time-snatched artifact" implies that he had also used the time platform to retrieve that robot from some point in the future.; One Sunday afternoon, while Reed Richards was modifying the time machine's launch pad, the Thing arrived with two guests, Captain America and Sharon Carter, so Reed took a break and, distracted, didn't notice when the Thing accidentally turned on its power feed. Minutes later, the time machine activated and transported a woman named Tarin from the year 3014 A.D. in an alternate future into the laboratory. Once the terrified woman calmed down, she revealed that her Earth had been conquered in the year 3007 by the Brotherhood of Badoon, that most of humanity was dead and the survivors were kept as slaves, and that the leaders of the Underground resistance, the Guardians of the Galaxy, had named their starship after their symbol of liberty, Captain America. Hearing this, Cap, Sharon and the Thing all agree to travel with Tarin back to her future while Reed stayed behind to operate the time machine, reminding them that they had to be back at their arrival spot in 24 hours or they wouldn't be able to return to their own time. Twenty-four hours later, after having helped the Guardians and the Terran Underground take back control of New York City from the Badoon, the time platform returned them to their proper era.; While rampaging through the Baxter Building, the Puppet Master-controlled Power Man accidentally turned on the time platform and the vibrations from his smashing some equipment caused a cylinder of Vibranium to roll onto the time platform's sending surface where it was sent back in time. Unaware of all that had happened, Reed Richards just turned off the time machine. A few days later, after Ben Grimm (wearing his Thing exo-skeleton) had accidentally re-activated the time machine, it transported a group of Nazi soldiers into the Baxter Building from London, England, in the year 1946. Thanks to some subtle guidance from the silent Watcher, Reed deduced that the missing Vibranium had changed history and created a timeline (Earth-TRN557) where the Nazis had won World War II, and that that alteration to history might eventually affect all time-continuums. To prevent that from happening, the Fantastic Four traveled back in time to early 1942, appearing in London on Earth-TRN558 in a fortified bunker in London where the Invaders were receiving a briefing from Army officers about recent suspected Nazi activity near Castle Cherbelle in France. After a brief battle caused by a misunderstanding, the two teams were able to work together, stop the Nazis and recover half of the Vibranium cylinder before the FF returned to their own time. Although Reed and most of the FF assumed that the menace was over, Ben Grimm was less certain and his fears were confirmed when the Watcher appeared before him. With some more subtle guidance from the Watcher, Grimm was led to realize that the missing half-cylinder had ended up back in the past of Earth-616. Then, after seeing that the present was being changed by the past, Grimm used the time platform to travel back to New York City in 1942 where he teamed up with the recently-formed Liberty Legion to defeat another group of Nazi agents and retrieve the rest of the Vibranium cylinder. Grimm then used the time platform to return to his now-unaltered present.; Wanting to retrieve the Black Knight (Dane Whitman) from the past so that he could join a new lineup of Avengers, Hawkeye traveled to Latveria to use the time platform to go back to the 12th century, but was attacked during the voyage by Kang and ended up appearing in the desert near Tombstone, Arizona, in the year 1873. When Hawkeye failed to come back from his time trip, Iron Man and Moondragon went to that castle in Latveria where, finding the time machine missing, they concluded that Hawkeye had never returned from the past. However, just as they were about to leave, the time platform silently reappeared, with blood on its deck, which made them suspect it was a trap. After the duo returned to Avengers Mansion and reported that Hawkeye had been trapped in the past as a lure for the rest of the team, everyone agreed that Kang was responsible, so Moondragon and Thor contacted Immortus so that they could track Hawkeye without using a mechanical time machine. After their own brief battle with Kang, the trio arrived in 1873 where they met five Old West cowboy heroes (the Rawhide Kid, the original Night Rider, the Two-Gun Kid, Kid Colt and the Ringo Kid) who led them to Hawkeye.; After Cotton Mather somehow appeared in the present, he cast a spell that compelled the Scarlet Witch to fly to Doom's abandoned castle in Latveria where he attacked her. Before losing consciousness, she cast a hex-sphere that located Spider-Man in New York City and transported him to the Latverian castle. Although unable to stop Mather from using the time platform to take himself and the mind-controlled Scarlet Witch back to his time, Spider-Man was able to use the time platform to follow them, arriving near Salem, Massachusetts. in the year 1692. Spider-Man was soon joined by the Vision, who had also used the time platform to come after his wife. After the trio later confronted Mather and his master, the Dark Rider, they were joined by Dr. Doom, and then by Moondragon. Once the five time travelers had managed to defeat and destroy the Dark Rider, Doom used the time-circuitry in his armor to return to the future. When Spider-Man stated that he wished to stay and try to save the accused witches from being hanged, the Vision, the Scarlet Witch and Moondragon used the time platform to return home after promising to send it back for him. Having been too late to prevent the mass hanging, Spider-Man tried to use the time platform to return home, but disturbances in the time stream caused him to overshoot his own time and arrive on a future Earth in the year 2019 where he soon met and teamed-up with Killraven to fight servants of the Martians who had conquered that Earth in 2001. A second attempt to return home delivered Spider-Man to another future Earth in the year 1990 where he soon met the cyborg Deathlok and teamed-up with him to fight cannibal mutants and two snipers. After finally returning to New York City in his own time, Spider-Man watched the time platform disappear even as he quickly lost all memories of what he had experienced in the two futures he had just visited.; Doom continued to use the time platform to travel to the past in order to increase his knowledge of the mystic arts. In order to facilitate trips further into the past, he purchased booster components from Stark International, but Tony Stark cancelled the order; Doom would steal the components anyway. When Stark, as Iron Man, arrived to investigate, one of Doom's assistants, Gert Hauptmann, used the platform to send both Doom and Iron Man back to the 6th century, hoping to dispose of Doom to avenge his brother's death. Arriving in 6th century England, Doom sought out Morgan Le Fay, who agreed to assist Doom in exchange for killing her half-brother King Arthur. Iron Man sided with Arthur against Doom and Morgan's forces, and convinced Doom to call a truce. Working together using components of their armors, Doom and Iron Man created a makeshift time platform and returned to the present.; About seven years after the formation of the Fantastic Four, Reed Richards discovered the still-operational time platform in the locked lab on the Richards Family Estate and realized that his father's use of the time machine explained his disappearance. Concerned that Nathaniel might have been trapped on a parallel Earth for years, Reed, the rest of the Fantastic Four, and Wyatt Wingfoot used Nathaniel's machine to travel to wherever Nathaniel had gone, but they ended up arriving on Earth-6311 as it existed in their time, ten years after Nathaniel had arrived there.; Following the dedication ceremony for Four Freedoms Plaza, Reed and Sue Richards were shocked when they discovered that many of their possessions that they thought had been destroyed months earlier along with the Baxter Building, including Doom's time machine, were somehow intact and now in their new headquarters. To learn what had happened, Reed and Sue used the time machine to travel back in time so that they, while in an out-of-phase state, would be able to observe the moment the artifacts were supposedly destroyed. After obtaining a reading on the spacial-temporal vector of the teleportational energy that took the items, Reed and Sue returned to their present and traced the energy to the Moon and then to the Watcher.; Seeking a weapon to use against any opposition to his plans to conquer Earth, the alien Dominus searched the Arizona desert until he found Doom's time platform, but discovered that it was damaged beyond repair, couldn't travel in space and could only travel into the past. When confronted by five West Coast Avengers, he activated the time platform beneath them, sending them back to 1876 where they met the Rawhide Kid, the Two-Gun Kid, and the Phantom Rider (who they believed was the same hero as the Night Rider who Hawkeye had met previously). After realizing that the time platform was damaged and that they would be unable to repair it, the Avengers decided to use it to travel back to Ancient Egypt in the hope that the reformed/benevolent Pharaoh Rama-Tut would be able to repair it. However, after setting the machine to send them back 100 years as test, the Phantom Rider attacked Mockingbird and abducted her, pulling her away from the chrono-square as it began transporting the other four Avengers into the past. Soon after arriving in 1776, the Avengers encountered Carlotta Valdez and, after realizing that she was somehow connected to their ally Firebird, Hawkeye entrusted her with a written message to keep safe for future generations. Then, carrying the time platform with them, the Avengers flew across North America to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where they unknowingly almost encountered the time-traveling Doctor Strange and Clea, and then across the Atlantic Ocean to Egypt where they then traveled back to 2920 B.C. where the benevolent Pharaoh Rama-Tut, unable to help them, could only suggest that they go back to his his reign. Having no other choice, they made one last trip back in time, to 2940 B.C., where they were captured by Rama-Tur's evil younger self. They eventually returned to their own time when Avengers from their time used the Fantastic Four's time machine, rebuilt after Dominus and his minions had destroyed it, to rescue them from the past.; Some time later, Doom and Iron Man would once again be involved in a time travel caper involving King Arthur, this time being brought to the year 2093 by Merlin. Doom had no interest in Merlin's mission, however, and proceeded to build a new platform to return to his own time. However, despite its more advanced technology, it was prevented from working by the mystical means Merlin had used to bring them there, as both Iron Man and Doom had to return together.; Following Doom's disappearance following the Onslaught crisis, X-Force and Nathaniel Richards went to Latveria's Castle Doom to secure Doctor Doom's time platform before someone else could. As Cable was about to dismantle the machine, G.W. Bridge and other S.H.I.E.L.D. members interfered, and in the commotion the time platform sent them into Latveria's past during World War II where they encountered Baron Strucker. When they returned to the present, Cable quickly destroyed this version of the time-platform before SHIELD could use it.; Because the Time Platform is basically a hole in space-time, however, it cannot actually be destroyed. Thus it eventually reappeared on its own in Castle Doom. With the help of Sekmeht Conoway and the Mengo Brothers, Gambit and Courier broke into Castle Doom so the two mutants could travel to 1891, as Gambit’s father, Jean-Luc LeBeau, revealed they were destined to do. There Gambit rescued kid Jean-Luc from the External Candra in London, then travelled with Jean-Luc and Courier to New York City, as Remy had promised to obtain information about Apocalypse from Mister Sinister for Candra. Instead, Gambit bargained with Sinister to save Courier and the Thieves Guild's lives, allowing Sinister to keep a sample of Courier’s cells for study. Though Gambit intended to double-cross Sinister by having Courier destroy the sample, Courier was unable to, thus allowing Sinister to bestow himself with shapeshifting powers. Sinister also removed information about the Old Kingdom and hid it within the recesses of Gambit’s mind. While Sekmeht had been unable to program the Time Platform to return Gambit and Courier to the present day before their time-jump, the two got back regardless, thanks to Sinister restoring Gambit’s full breadth of powers.; Using the time portal, Doctor Doom traveled to the year 1211, A.D. and became involved in a romantic relationship with Morgan le Fay in exchange for her tutelage in the mystic arts. This arrangement was interrupted when the Mighty Avengers came to Latveria to arrest Doctor Doom for crimes against humanity. During the battle, Doom, Iron Man, and the Sentry, stumbled through an open time travel portal, trapping Doctor Doom and his opponents in the past. Doctor Doom and Iron Man managed to return all three to the present, where the Sentry subdued Doctor Doom. ============================================================ Titanium Man Armor (Bullski's) Kind: item Page: Titanium Man Armor (Bullski's) Formal name: Titanium Man Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 69 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Boris Bullski Additional designers: Half-Face, Sergei Place of creation: Siberia Current owner: Boris Bullski Material: Titanium History: Bullski designed this armor to rival Iron Man and prove the superiority of Soviet science. Bullski and the armor were further augmented by Half-Face. Bullski also forced Sergei to add his unique credit card teleportation system.; This armor was heavily damaged and Bullski thought dead after an Energiya rocket explosion. He would later return wearing the original armor after thorough repair. He continued to wear his original armor for many more years, including as a member of the Soviet Super Soldiers. He also clashed with Tony Stark many more times.; Composed largely of titanium, this armor is generally stronger and tougher but also heavier and slower than Iron Man armors.; Paralyzer beam/stasis beam; Impulse Rays; Power sappers; Molecular Scrambler; Shatter Blast; High Voltage Beam; Ocular-Destructo eye-lasers; Radar Rings that pursue and entangle target.; Image Inducer; The control system mounted on the back or near the head has proven to be vulnerable to attack. The armor also lacked underwater capability at first.; Due to alterations to his body, Bullski is dependent on the armor's life support functions.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Marvel Super Hero Squad Online (Earth-91119)===; Titanium Man; clear; ----; ===Marvel Adventures (Earth-20051)===; Titanium Man was sabotaging Stark Brazil's plant.; clear; ---- ============================================================ Time Stone Kind: item Page: Time Stone Formal name: Time Stone Other aliases: Time Gem Type: Infinity Stone First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 55 Created by: Bill Mantlo; John Byrne Reality: Earth-616; Earth-12041; Earth-199999 Origin: One of the Infinity Gems Current owner: Earth-616: Overtime Earth-199999: None Model: Unique Properties: Time Manipulation: The Time Stone allows its user total control over the past, present and future, and the power to stop and rewind time, travel in time, control the age of beings, and can be also used as a weapon by trapping enemies or entire worlds in unending loops of time. At its peak, when used with the other gems, it allows its user to exist at all points in time simultaneously.; Precognition: Its most basic ability grants its user visions of possible futures.; Following the destruction and rebirth of the Infinity Stones, the artifacts formed a feedback circuit. Because of this, how much of the Time Stone's potential somebody can tap depends on their mastery over space, meaning that possession of the Space Stone allows for a better use of the Time Stone. In turn, possession of the Time Stone allows for better control of the Reality Stone. History: One of six Infinity Gems that grant its user control over reality. According to the most commonly accepted origin story, the six gems were once part of an all-powerful being who committed suicide out of loneliness. Its power survived and manifested as six gems.; === Soul Gems ===; For a long time, knowledge of the true nature of the Gems was unknown and the six were known collectively as "Soul Gems", with much of their powers unrealized by their users. The Gardener was the first known holder of the one that would eventually be identified as the Time Gem, using it to help create his gardens in otherwise desolate environments. He had set up such a garden on Earth's Moon when the Stranger, another Gem-holder attacked him in an effort to collect all six. In order to fend the Stranger off, the Gardener was forced to use his Gem offensively, an act which tainted the Gem in his eyes, making its capacity to destroy overshadow its capacity to create. The Gardener discarded the Gem on the once more barren Moon and departed.; The Gem was shortly thereafter picked up by Thanos on a quest to collect them all. He combined the Gem with four others and siphoned energies from the sixth to create a giant synthetic Gem with the intent of destroying the stars of the universe with its absolute power. The combined efforts of Warlock, Captain Marvel, and the Avengers thwarted Thanos' plan and destroyed the combined Gem.; For a time, the five combined Gems were thought to be destroyed, but a conclave of the Elders of the Universe eventually learned that they could not be truly destroyed in such a manner and that they were actually scattered across the universe. Having a plan to use the Gems to further their ambitions, the Elders set out to gather them together again. Of these, only the Mind Gem's circumstances were specified, having come into possession of the Kree. The Champion won one of the other Gems as the World Trophy of Grinx, the Collector collected one, and the Trader purchased the other two. It's unclear which of these was the Time Gem. The Elders eventually succeeded in gathering all six Gems together and connected them into a space platform aligned with a star system with six desolate planets the Gems could resonate with, setting up a trap for Galactus. Their apparatus would steal planetary energies from Galactus, channeling them into the planets, thus killing Galactus and subsequently Eternity due to the loss of balance that Galactus maintained. The universe would end and be reborn, with only the Elders surviving due to their earlier victory over Death and as such be true Elders of the new universe as Galactus had been in theirs. Though the Elders successfully trapped Galactus, they failed to handle interference from his heralds. While the Silver Surfer blocked the ray from the Gem apparatus, Nova detonated the star at the center of the system, creating a black hole that consumed the Gems and some of the Elders, saving Galactus.; The Elders joined with the In-Betweener in a further scheme to kill Galactus, retrieving the Gems from the black hole, but they were thwarted again by the Silver Surfer. Lord Chaos and Master Order became involved and redistributed the Gems among the In-Betweener and the Elders afterwards, with the one that would soon be revealed as the Time Gem being returned to the Gardener, who by now had grown beyond his concern for the Gems' perceived moral integrity.; === Infinity Gauntlet ===; Thanos learned of the Gems' true nature as Infinity Gems from the Infinity Well and set out to gather them once more in a quest to become a god worthy of being Death's consort. The Gardener had been subconsciously using the Time Gem's abilities to grow and maintain the plants in his garden when Thanos came to take it from him. Gardener made his stand and attempted to subdue Thanos with rapidly growing vines, but Thanos used the Power Gem he had already acquired to augment the Time Gem's effects beyond Gardener's capacity to control. Gardener was killed by his own vines while Thanos survived the attack with his own enhanced power, allowing him to walk away with the Time Gem as his prize. He was able to use the Time Gem's aging/de-aging properties to subsequently defeat the Runner and trick the Collector, quickly earning him two more of the Infinity Gems.; When Thanos assembled all six Gems into his Infinity Gauntlet, he had the power and knowledge to achieve anything he desired, except he found he still didn't know what it would take for Death to return his affection. He attempted various grand gestures, eventually creating a great shrine to Death and fulfilling his promise to her to kill half the population of the universe, removing them from existence with a snap of his fingers. No matter what he did, Death continued to regard him with silent disdain, making him increasingly unstable in his frustration. When a coalition of surviving heroes came to confront him, he initially used the Time Gem's powers to freeze them all in place, leaving them helpless. Rather than end things quickly, he was compelled to attempt to entertain Death by limiting his own abilities and giving his enemies a minute chance of victory. He swore off the use of all the Gems except Power in the ensuing battle, though he defeated many of his opponents through manipulations of time, space, and reality regardless. In particular, he removed Drax and Firelord from the battle by sending them through a time portal into prehistoric Earth. After his inevitable victory, Thanos reclaimed full control of the Gems just in time to face an alliance of Cosmic Beings. When Death stood with the other Abstracts against him, Thanos lost his last vestige of patience and subdued them all, imprisoning them in an energy field. Upon defeating Eternity, he took their place as an abstract being one with the universe. This meant abandoning his physical body, which was still wearing the Gauntlet. Nebula, who up to that point was a helpless bystander being tortured by her grandfather for his amusement, seized the opportunity and stole the Gauntlet. She quickly used the Gauntlet to reset the timeline by 24 hours, more so to spite Thanos' accomplishments than to set things right. She lacked the experience or understanding to make full effective use of the Gems, so Adam Warlock, who had formed more of a connection to the Gems through his time within the Soul Gem, was able to hide from her and eventually separate her from the Gauntlet to claim it for himself. Pledging to be a more worthy supreme being, Warlock ended the conflict and sent everyone on their way.; === Infinity Watch ===; Warlock did not hold the Infinity Gauntlet for long before Eternity brought his case to the Living Tribunal that the young god was no more suited to hold omnipotence than Thanos. The Tribunal ruled that Warlock disperse the Gems so that no individual could misuse their combined might. Warlock decided to split the Gems among friends and allies he knew would not or could not abuse their potential. He offered the Time Gem to the skeptical Gamora, who protested that she wouldn't know how to use that power and didn't want it, but to Warlock that was ideal since he knew the Most Dangerous Woman in the Universe could protect it from others that did.; Shortly after the Gems' distribution, the Man-Beast abducted Gamora along with Moondragon, Drax, and Pip, and trapped them in a machine to sap their Gems' power and create a vicious energy creature under his control called the Infinity Thrall. Warlock defeated the Man-Beast by causing the destruction of the machine, dispelling the Thrall and freeing the others. Afterwards, the five Gem-holders agreed to stick together as a team known as the Infinity Watch.; Gamora began to have involuntary visions of the future due to the Time Gem depicting dire fates for Adam Warlock. A particular vision depicted Maxam, whom the Infinity Watch had yet to meet, standing over Warlock's apparent corpse. As a result of the premonition, Gamora was particularly distrustful of the amnesiac Maxam once he appeared and joined the team.; At one point Gamora relinquished the Time Gem to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet as part of a scheme by Warlock to stop the Magus from making the universe collide with his doppelganger dimension. Ostensibly, Warlock would prepare to use the Gauntlet while Galactus took Gamora to meet with Eternity and the Living Tribunal to reverse the ruling on using the Gems in unison, but it instead turned out to be a trap to draw the Magus out of hiding. Magus stole the Infinity Gauntlet to achieve godhood just as the ruling was reversed, but he didn't realize the Reality Gem included was a fake. Without it, Magus was vulnerable to Warlock's counterattack, who wrested the supreme power with the assistance of Eternity and Infinity who represented the reality Magus lacked control over. With Magus and his threat vanquished, the Infinity Gems were returned to the Infinity Watch and the ban on the Gems' combination was reinstated.; When the Infinity Watch invaded the dimension of Count Abyss to challenge the omnipotent despot, Abyss was able to defeat the Watch mostly by mystically turning the power of the Gems against their owners. Gamora ended up frozen in time by the power of her Gem until Abyss was defeated. Afterwards, Gamora briefly lost the Gem once more when Strange attacked the team in an attempt to steal them all. The sorcerer's shade gave up and returned the Gems upon realizing they couldn't work together.; Gamora eventually grew fed up with the tolerance of Maxam and quit the Infinity Watch, relinquishing the Time Gem. Maxam became its new guardian by default and unexpectedly regained all his memories when he equipped it. It turned out being time-displaced himself, it was a temporal issue that sealed off his mind, and with the Gem centering him in the current timeline he was also suddenly vulnerable to Moondragon's psychic powers. He turned on Warlock, remembering his mission to kill him before he could become the Magus and commit universal genocide. Warlock and Moondragon temporarily subdued him and prepared to take the Time Gem back when it suddenly vanished without a trace. Even without the Gems present, the vision of Maxam killing Warlock played out according to an illusion planted by Moondragon in Maxam's mind. Maxam disappeared from the timeline, believing his mission complete. Moondragon concluded that the Time Gem saw the vision from Maxam's point of view in his future while it was with him and passed the vision back to Gamora in the past when it was with her. Paradoxically, it was mainly the Time Gem's vision that ultimately determined that the specific sequence of events leading to the fulfillment of the vision occurred.; === Ultraverse ===; While details are inconsistent, the cause of the Gems' disappearance was Rune of the Ultraverse, who had just been accidentally transported to Earth-616 and quickly became obsessed with the Infinity Gems upon sensing their power. He somehow first stole the Time Gem and used it to freeze time, then proceeded to take the other five Gems from their owners in the space between instants. The Living Tribunal, unaffected by time manipulation and sensing the imminent violation of his decree against the union of the Gems, brought the Silver Surfer into the frozen time and charged him with preventing it at all costs. The Surfer soon found Rune wearing the Soul Gem on his forehead and the other five arranged on his right-hand knuckles in a pattern similar to the Infinity Gauntlet. The Soul Gem's will was supplanting Rune's own and forcing him to open a rift to his home dimension. At that point, the Surfer attacked Rune, with a blast of the Power Cosmic to his hand dispersing the five Gems on it into the vortex, causing them and Rune to scatter throughout the Ultraverse and restarting the normal flow of time in Earth-616.; The Time Gem landed in the California desert of Earth-93060. Its fall as a meteorite was noticed by Hardcase, who picked it up and quickly learned its time manipulation abilities. He used his newfound time travel ability to attempt to alter history for the better, going back to the death of the Squad and helping them avert it. Unfortunately, when he returned to the present, he found out they all died anyway and now he had even fewer friends. Loki, who had detected the Infinity Gems' arrival in the Ultraverse and was trying to collect them, took the opportunity to trick Hardcase into handing over the Gem by posing as its rightful owner. When Loki absconded with the Gem, he provided further misdirection by implying he was working for Hardcase's nemesis, Rex Mundi. Hardcase tracked down Mundi and didn't find the Gem, but did learn more about his adaptive powers. Realizing he could replicate the time travel effect without the Gem, he went back to prevent himself from altering history, convincing his recent past self to dispose of the Gem. While the timeline was altered on Earth, Loki was outside its influence in the otherworldly Vahdala and kept his hold on the Gems he collected.; Loki collected all six Gems but didn't have a clear goal in mind for how to use them. He wanted to eventually return to his home universe to exact revenge on his enemies, but bided his time while occasionally using his absolute power to commit minor acts of mischief on Earth. Meanwhile, a seventh Infinity Gem residing in the Ultraverse had also sensed the others' presence and sought to reunite with them. Possessing Sersi, another refugee from its home universe, the Ego Gem got close enough to Loki to connect with the other six, merging into a being called Nemesis, who attempted to use her creative forces to remake the two universes. Even the seven Gems together did not make a cohesive whole, however, and the Ego Gem's consciousness found itself at odds with some of the voices of the other Gems. This weakness allowed heroes of the two universes to fight back against her, and ultimately Black Knight struck a decisive blow on her crown where the Gems were stored, destroying the Ego Gem and scattering the other six in an explosion of creative force that would send everyone back where they belonged while restructuring the Ultraverse from the ground up.; The remains of the Ego Gem's essence was split among the Power, Soul, Mind, and Space Gems, allowing them each to take on autonomous living forms that shared Nemesis' malicious intents. The Time and Reality Gems, whose individual consciousnesses rebelled against the others in the interest of preserving the fabric of existence, remained in their original forms and found other hosts in the reforming Ultraverse to mitigate the chaos in Nemesis' wake. The Time Gem ended up in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, its power creating a bubble of stability around the city as the reality-warping Nemesis waves rendered everything outside uninhabitable. The Gem came into the possession of Jamie Tark and granted her precognitive visions that helped her father secure rulership of the city. One of her prophesies foretold the arrival of the Reality Gem's holder, Amber Hunt, and that the end of their world would follow. Despite this warning, Amber eventually convinced Jamie and her father that she needed to take the Time Gem to save the universe. From there, Amber, together with the Time and Reality Gems, returned to the nanosecond of Nemesis' destruction to absorb and safely convert the waves of creative force, leaving only the initial wave that the Marvel Universe and Ultraverse would have to weather on their own. Their work complete, the Gems scattered again.; === JLA/Avengers ===; When the activities of the cosmically powerful Krona caused the Marvel and DC universes to begin bleeding into each other, the Grandmaster manipulated heroes from each world into collecting objects of power, including the Infinity Gems, ostensibly for the purpose of averting the coming disaster. The Gems turned up on Apokolips, assembled by Darkseid into the Infinity Gauntlet, but when he realized the device was powerless outside its home reality, he discarded it, allowing the JLA to collect it for their side. When all the objects of power were assembled, Grandmaster combined their energies to forcibly bind the universes together in a failing attempt to neutralize Krona. The Grandmaster died and the objects fell into Krona's control, who attempted to make the two universes destroy each other to accomplish his goal of witnessing the birth of the next reality. The heroes of both worlds joined forces to stop Krona, destroying the containment device for the objects of power, allowing the universes to reorder themselves. The Infinity Gems were thus returned to their home universe along with everything else.; === Galactus & Hunger ===; Galactus was the next to assemble the Gems, having come to believe they could provide him with an alternate form of sustenance. Rather than freeing him from his hunger, he was actually freeing Hunger, a reality-devouring entity that was subconsciously manipulating him into opening a passage to his universe. Upon completing the set, Galactus affixed the Gems to a focusing crux connected to his ship, opening the way for Hunger. Realizing his mistake, Galactus attempted to fight Hunger, but it was ultimately the efforts of Thanos and his ally, Pip, that cut Hunger off by destroying the ship, separating the Soul Gem from the focusing crux, and crushing them beneath the weaponized planet Rigel-3. The other Gems were once again scattered across the cosmos by the blast.; === Illuminati ===; After She-Hulk gave the recovered Power Gem to Reed Richards for safekeeping, he considered the continual threat of the Gems, and so he assembled the Illuminati to discuss gathering the rest for security. Having already acquired Soul and Space through unrevealed means, he used the three Gems he had to locate the remainder. The Time Gem had ended up adrift in time, out of reach by conventional means. The Illuminati assembled the other Gems and with five in Reed's Infinity Gauntlet, the Time Gem was summoned automatically, causing the men present to briefly fluctuate in age during its arrival. With the completed Infinity Gauntlet, Reed attempted to will it out of existence but nothing happened. He then offered it to the Watcher who had arrived to warn him against his actions, but was refused. He then decided it was best to divide the Gems among the members of the Illuminati to hide, protect, and never use for themselves, though Uatu suggested this was no less irresponsible in the long run. The Time Gem was entrusted to Namor.; Namor hid the Gem in a sealed chamber at the bottom of the ocean guarded by sea monsters. When the Avengers and Illuminati discovered that Parker Robbins had bypassed their security and stolen two of the other Gems, they split up to attempt to retrieve the others before he could. Namor took Thor and Red Hulk with him into the depths to deal with his own security measures and gave the Gem to Thor for safekeeping.. It was one of the only Gems they were able to keep the Hood from getting his hands on, and when the others were gathered, Thor passed his to Iron Man, who used the completed Infinity Gauntlet to return the Hood to prison and then make it appear to the assembled Avengers that he removed the Gems from existence. Instead, he actually hid them until the Illuminati could convene to redistribute them. This time, the Time Gem was left in charge of their new inductee, Steve Rogers.; When the Illuminati attempted to use the Infinity Gauntlet to push away another universe that was colliding with Earth-616, the Time Gem disappeared. The Time Gem eventually returned and suddenly transported the Avengers to various points in the future, shattering in the process.; === Infinity Wars ===; Following the destruction of the entire Multiverse and its eventual restoration, the destroyed Infinity Gems were recreated and scattered across the universe. The Time Gem (now colored green) restored the world of Sakaar and rested beneath its mantle until it was found by the Super-Skrull. Once the gem was in his possession, Kl'rt returned to Tarnax II and had the magician Mt'nox study it to amplify its strengths, since he wanted to use the gem's power to expand the Skrull Empire. When Doctor Strange visited Tarnax II as part of a journey to search for magicians in other planets, he discovered that the Time Stone was in the hands of the Skrulls. He determined the stone was too dangerous to be in their hands, and stole it from Kl'rt. Using the gem's power to jump forward in time several times, Doctor Strange created an army of time-displaced duplicates and defeated the Super-Skrull. He and his partner Kanna left the planet afterwards with the Time Stone. When he returned to Earth, Strange held onto the Time Stone for safekeeping.; After discovering that the rest of the Infinity Stones had become active, Strange convened a parley between the wielders of the Infinity Stones to form the Infinity Watch. The meeting in Central Park was disrupted by the arrival of Gamora, who had already claimed the Power Stone as part of her plan to collect all Infinity Stones and reunite with a part of herself trapped within the Soul Gem. In the middle of the chaos, Strange was subdued by Gamora, and she stole the Time Stone from him. She would end up claiming all Infinity Stones in the end.; Gamora folded the universe in half and merged the two halves together, sending the new universe into a pocket universe called Warp World inside the Soul Gem so the merged souls would become prey to the monstrous Devondra. While waiting for Warp World's destruction, Gamora traveled to the God Quarry to investigate what laid beneath it. Inside Warp World, Loki rallied a group of heroes called the Cosmic Avengers to stop Gamora, and they escaped from the Soul Gem using copies of the Infinity Stones found within Warp World which Gamora had unwittingly brought into existence when she created Warp World. Ant-Man was given the replicate Time Stone since his mastery over space manipulation via Pym Particles allowed him to tap into the Time Stone's full potential.; The Cosmic Avengers confronted Gamora and took the Power, Reality and Space Stones from her. Loki in turn took these stones for himself in addition to the copies of the Soul, Time and Mind Stones, thus assembling a complete set of Infinity Stones. He used the stones to send Gamora to Warp World before transporting himself to the unknown realm that existed beneath the Quarry of Creation, where he found a group of Celestials guarding a deposit of countless Infinity Stones.; Loki returned from beneath the Quarry of Creation, and used his Infinity Stones to render the surplus gems inert. He handed over his set to the Cosmic Avengers so they could repair the universe. After returning to Soul World and defeating Devondra, the Cosmic Avengers joined forces with Adam Warlock to restore the universe while keeping Warp World intact within the Soul Gem. Adam Warlock then used the Soul Gem to flee Soul World with the Cosmic Avengers and his allies while Drax the Destroyer sacrificed himself to keep the portal leading to the real universe open. After sending Gamora someplace to set her on a path of redemption, Adam Warlock decided to give the Infinity Stones sentience and let them decide their destinies in order to stop the conflicts over their power. All the gems left the Earth save for the Time Stone, which sought wrongfully sentenced death-row inmate Hector Bautista and merged with him, granting him time-manipulating powers that he used to escape prison. ============================================================ Titanium Man Armor (Gremlin's) Kind: item Page: Titanium Man Armor (Gremlin's) Formal name: Titanium Man Armor Type: Armor First appearance: X-Men vs Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Roger Stern; Marc Silvestri Reality: Earth-616; Earth-534834 Lead designer: Gremlin (Topolov) Place of creation: Russia Place of destruction: Russia Current owner: None Previous owners: Kondrati Topolov (Earth-616) Alternate owners: Boris Bullski (Earth-534834) Dimensions: 8'9" Weight: 760 lbs Model: Mk II Version: Version I Properties: Gremlin designed the suit to be vastly superior to Bullski's older armor. There was a hatch in the armor's chest area so that Gremlin could climb inside it with ease and pilot it. It is probable that Gremlin designed this suit to have similar stats to the Crimson Dynamo armor he created. Otherwise; It can be assumed the armor retains all the original Titanium Man's abilities. History: Gremlin designed a brand new Titanium Man armor to assist his fellow Soviet Super Soldiers in battle; Much like the Crimson Dynamo Armor Mark IV Gremlin himself designed, it was an updated version of an older persona. It also incorporated stolen Stark technology.; The new Titanium Man debuted helping his team mates at a train wreak in Russia. The armor was a surprise as KGB agent Dimitri Burkharin was unaware of its creation. The suit was damaged by Wolverine who was attempting to disable the Titanium Man who was hunting Magneto.; The Gremlin and Bukharin were confronted in Russia by Tony Stark during the first Armor Wars. During the battle, the Titanium Man's armor was ignited by Iron Man's boot jets. The Gremlin plunged into the icy water in an attempt to put out the fire, but was unsuccessful.; A short while later; Living Laser took the form of Gremlin's Titanium Man armor during the second Armor Wars and attacked Stark in order to taunt Iron Man further.; After Boris Bullski returned as Titanium Man and spent years in his original armor; He has since taken to wearing an updated version of Gremlin's Titanium Man Armor with a slightly updated design. Its exact origins remain a mystery currently. ============================================================ Titanium Man Armor (Modern) Kind: item Page: Titanium Man Armor (Modern) Formal name: Titanium Man Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 3 49 Created by: Frank Tieri; Chris Batista Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: unknown Additional designers: possibly A.I.M. Current owner: Boris Bullski History: The current Titanium Man Armor's design is a slightly modified version of the armor designed by the Gremlin; This time designed for an average-sized person. The full range of this suit's functions are still largely unknown. It is capable of operating in space, including under high-gravity conditions. Presumably Bullski is still reliant on its life support. Weaponry includes versions of previous models' "radar rings" eye and hand blasters, as well as an EMP generator. A scope can be extended for sniping. ============================================================ Tome of Zhered-Na Kind: item Page: Tome of Zhered-Na Formal name: Tome of Zhered-Na Type: Magical Book First appearance: Fear Vol 1 15 Created by: Steve Gerber; Val Mayerik Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Illyana Kale Additional designers: Zhered-Na Current owner: Doom Academy Previous owners: Jennifer Kale; Illyana Kale; Joshua Kale History: ===Origins and Early Years===; After being exiled for foretelling the destruction and fall of Atlantis, sorceress Zhered-Na eventually found her way to the continent of Thuria, where she founded her own cult and taught followers. Many years after Zhered-Na's death, her teachings were passed on to Illyana Kale, a decendent of a cult member, via spirits. Kale transcribed the teachings that came to her, the sum of which became the Tome of Zhered-Na. At some point, the demon Hellphyr was placed inside the book by a spell casted by some deities who felt the book to be containing too many secrets.; ===Modern Age===; The Tome would stay in the possession of the Kale family until modern times, when the Tome was stolen while in possession of Joshua Kale, the latest leader of the Cult of Zhered-Na.; Through unknown means, the Tome ended up housed in a vault of a New York City library many years later. Andy Kale, Joshua's grandson, was tricked into opening the Tome by a disguised Marduk Kurios, which unleashed Hellphyr, who possessed Andy.; Doctor Strange, sensing the presence of the Tome and Hellphyr, gathered a team to assist him in recapturing the Tome, including Andy's sister Jennifer, who would end up unwilling killing Andy to defeat Hellphyr for Strange.; The Tome was seen in the possession of Jennifer Kale afterwards, but was later reappered as part of Doom Academy's library. ============================================================ Tinex (Earth-4935) Kind: item Page: Tinex Formal name: Time Displacement Nexus Type: Technology First appearance: Cable Vol 1 2 Created by: Fabian Nicieza; Art Thibert Reality: Earth-4935 History: This is the Canaanite's time machine that is hidden in the Niagara Falls. ============================================================ Time-Matrix-Alternatizing-Stabilizer (Earth-8311) Kind: item Page: Time-Matrix-Alternatizing-Stabilizer Formal name: Time-Matrix-Alternatizing-Stabilizer Other aliases: T.M.A.S.; Thomas Type: Technology First appearance: Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham Vol 1 7 Created by: Steve Skeates; Mark Armstrong Reality: Earth-8311 History: Thomas was a time machine created by an unnamed scientist working to the Space Center.

Even though he retained the master control, the Exterminator gave these portable rays to the Unholy Three, who used them to break into a nightclub and 'disintegrate' Deborah Harris.; The Unholy Three used the ray guns again to rob a bank, adjusting the dial to break the safe lock. Surprised by Daredevil, they blasted him and Chuck, who tried to stop from fleeing with the loot.; Many years later, the black market network known as Source Control, which dealt with high-grade technology and weapons, made with four of these blasters. During Tony Stark's secret operation to buy out Source Control's catalog, Carl Walker attempted to purchase the blasters off Source Control on his behalf. The Source Control operatives had become suspicious of Walker's activities, and used one of the blasters on him to send him back in time one week. After Carl disappeared in the present, Iron Man swept in and took down the Source Control operatives. He secured the blasters and sent them to the warehouse where he was piling up Source Control's items. ============================================================ Time Reversal Ray Kind: item Page: Time Reversal Ray Formal name: Time Reversal Ray Other aliases: Recreater Type: Technology First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 105 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Lead designer: Mr. Hyde Current owner: Captain America Previous owners: Iron Man History: The Time Reversal Ray could generate images depicting past events which the person or persons targeted had enacted.; At some point, Iron Man used the Recreater to probe the recent past.

It can even fight equally against the Hulkbuster Armor. Its known capabilities are:; Superhuman Strength: The armor enhances the user's strength immensely, allowing him to lift massive weights without straining himself.; Enhanced Durability: The suit is equipped with titanium armor plating. It can take extreme punishment in a fight without being damaged at all. Later, its armor plating was modified with a titanium/vibranium alloy, making the armor virtually indestructible.; Flight: This suit has jet boots that make it fly at incredible speeds.; Weapons: It is armed with the following weapons:; Repulsors: It can fire repulsor beams from the palms.; Laser Cannons: It has retractable laser cannons hidden in the shoulders and in the wrists.; Constrictive Rings: The laser cannon in his wrists can even project beams that form binding energy rings around a target, immobilizing it.; Chest Beam: It can project a beam from the chest power source.; Rocket Launchers: It is equipped with powerful rocket launchers in the arms.; Energy Blades: The wrists are equipped with retractable energy saw blades.; Energy Siphon: The helmet contains a hidden laser emitter in the face that can be used to siphon power from another armored suit into itself.; Force Field: The armor can erect a green-colored force field around itself.; Cloaking Function: It has cloaking functions that turn it invisible.; Sensors: It is equipped with advanced infra-red sensors, scanners, and targeting systems. It can even see the Stealth Armor when its invisible.; Voice Filter: It has a voice modulator to disguise the wearer's voice.; Communication Systems: The armor is connected to a terminal that allows someone stationed there to assist the user and communicate with him.; Backup Generator: It has an emergency backup generator in case of power loss.; When the titanium armor plating is heated to a certain point, it will keep burning until it turns into molten slag and it cannot be extinguished. But after Fix 2.0 mixed the armor plating with vibranium, that design flaw was removed.; It's not as fast or as energy-efficient as the Iron Man Armor Mark II.; It is not impervious to Tony's Extremis. History: Titanium Man is the result of "Project: Titanium". It is an armor manufactured by Hammer Multinational and used by Justin Hammer.; In Titanium vs. Iron, Hammer uses the armor to destroy Iron Man, who is wearing his Stealth Armor, after he twice sneaks into his company and tries to delete the Iron Man specs that he bought from Ghost. Titanium Man easily overpowers Iron Man and critically damages War Machine. He chases them around the city and destroys Iron Man's empty suit. He spots the pilot and starts shooting missiles at him and misses. War Machine eventually recharges and Iron Man suits up in his Mark II armor. They fight Titanium Man and they shoot a continuous repulsor beam, setting his armor in flames. Iron Man explains when titanium is heated, it never stops burning. Hammer retreats to his headquarters where Blizzard cools down the armor, but it is now a melting wreck.; Titanium Man later resurfaces with a new titanium/vibranium alloy, thanks to Fix 2.0. Hammer uses the armor to steal a Stark International UI chip from thieves Black Widow and Hawkeye and almost destroyed them but were saved thanks to Iron Man.; Hammer later uses the armor in his latest attempt to discredit Stark International which resulted in a battle between himself, Iron Man, War Machine, and Iron Monger. He was blasted by Iron Man and War Machine into the atmosphere and landed in an unknown mountain range in the middle of nowhere, humorously yelling for help as his armor is motionless.; Justin later uses the Titanium Man armor to capture Iron Man and take his armor to his ocean fortress. When War Machine and Pepper showed up to help him. He ran to suit up and destroyed the Stealth Armor that Pepper Potts was controlling and fights Iron Man and War Machine. They use the artificial cosmic ray weapon that Hammer earlier used on War Machine to attack the wearer inside the armor. He passes out after a few seconds after.; Justin Hammer has been receiving threatening messages from an unknown competitor. His increasing paranoia have drove him to attack Unicorn and Killer Shrike senselessly as Titanium Man. Unicorn was badly hurt and Killer Shrike escapes, only to be taken down by Iron Man and taken to jail. Hammer later captures Killer Shrike from his prisoner transport back to his lab for torture. He insanely holds a gun to his head, but Iron Man and War Machine disarm him. Justin reveals his force-field wall and zombifies Killer Shrike. Iron Man later reveals his plan. The ravings that he said to Killer Shrike revealed his true colors as a criminal. They were being broadcast all over the world by Fix 2.0. He did it as revenge for taking his body and turning him into a digital freak. Justin Hammer gets in his Titanium Man armor and unleashes a zombie gas bomb that is immune to Tony's Extremis on the city. Iron Man stops the gas with an incendiary bomb and stops Hammer's armor with Extremis. ============================================================ Tony Stark's New Element (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Tony Stark's New Element Formal name: Tony Stark's New Element Other aliases: Badassium Type: Material First appearance: Iron Man 2 (film) Created by: Jon Favreau; Justin Theroux Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: New Element synthesized by Tony Stark based on theories developed from Howard Stark's research on the Tesseract Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Howard Stark Place of creation: Tony Stark's Malibu Mansion Current owner: Tony Stark Previous owners: Nick Fury; S.H.I.E.L.D. Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable Notes: In the Iron Man 2 novelization, vibranium is instead new element created by Tony Stark to replace palladium. This information would later be invalidated by Captain America: The First Avenger, where vibranium is shown as a rare metal already existing in the 1940s. Trivia: According to Tony, the new element replacement arc reactor core tastes like "coconut and metal." History: While analyzing the element, Howard believed it to be the key to limitless, renewable, clean energy. However, limited by the technology of his time, Howard was unable to create the element for himself and instead left the blueprints for the element hidden in a model of the Stark Expo fairgrounds for his son Tony to discover later.; Tony's design of the Arc Reactor in his chest required a heavy element such as palladium to keep it running. Unfortunately, palladium was continuously eroded by the neutron bombardment, and released deadly poisons into Tony's body.; Clear; Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intervention temporarily reversed some of the palladium poisoning symptoms allowing Tony to discover his father's design for a new element to replace the palladium. Building a small particle accelerator in his garage, Tony was finally able to create a New Element that met his needs, and in turn created a new armor suit to utilize the new power.; Not long after Tony synthesized his New Element, Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. along with Dr. Erik Selvig used it to reignite the Tesseract. Selvig hoped to stabilize the direct current and make safe the energy flow. Fury then anticipated the demonstration and informed him that Tony was facing bureaucratic rejection while seeking a patent to rename it "badassium."; Clear ============================================================ Time Square (Earth-12772) Kind: item Page: Time Square Formal name: Time Square Type: Technology First appearance: Spider-Boy Team-Up Vol 1 1 Created by: Roger Stern; Karl Kesel; Jose Ladronn Reality: Earth-12772 Lead designer: Martinex 5 Current owner: Legion of Galactic Guardians 2099 Dimensions: Expandable, rectangular Notes: This device is apparently a merge of DC's Time Cube and Marvel's Time Platform. History: Times Squares are the teleports of the Legion of Galactic Guardians 2099. Generated by the Time Square Generator, the squares can bring someone from any dimension and timeline to the Legion's base or vice versa. ============================================================ Time Square Generator (Earth-12772) Kind: item Page: Time Square Generator Formal name: Time Square Generator Other aliases: Time Square Type: Technology First appearance: Spider-Boy Team-Up Vol 1 1 Created by: Roger Stern; Karl Kesel; Jose Ladronn Reality: Earth-12772 Lead designer: Martinex 5 Current owner: Legion of Galactic Guardians 2099 Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: ===Amalgam Universe (Earth-9602)===; The generator of Earth-9602 had a similar history as its Earth-12772 counterpart. While it had a different exterior design, its functions remained unchanged. The Frightful Five destroyed the generator and caused a Chronal Collapse. Five years later, the survivors repaired it, rescued Spider-Boy, and used it to send him to Earth-12772. History: Created by Martinex 5, the Time Square Generator creates a Time Square around someone from any dimension and timeline and bring them to the Legion of Galactic Guardians 2099's base or vice versa. ============================================================ Titanomech Kind: item Page: Titanomech Formal name: Titanomech Other aliases: Walking Squid-Tripod Death Machine Nightmare Type: Technology; Robot First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 500 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca; Kano; Nathan Fox; Carmine Di Giandomenico Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Chinese Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Peter Parker Previous owners: Bastard Sons of Wilbur Day; Mandarin History: The Titanomech was a weapon of mass destruction conceived by Tony Stark some time before the Civil War with the help of his protégé Peter Parker. Its design was stolen from Stark and uploaded to the Internet during his fall at the moment of Norman Osborn's reign.; A group of anarchists known as the Bastard Sons of Wilbur Day got their hands on the designs and tried to build a Titanomech. Their sloppy handiwork caused the proto-Titanomech to be less than a threat for the combined force of Iron Man and Spider-Man, who had tracked down the Bastard Sons to stop them.; The Mandarin acquired the designs, and forced Ezekiel Stane to build a set of Titanomechs as the means to provide bodies to the spirits inside his rings. However, Stane's first demonstration of a Titanomech failed miserably. In light of this failure, the Mandarin took control of Tony Stark's mind and turned him into a slave to build the Titanomechs.; With three Titanomechs finished, the Mandarin took three of his rings and put them on each of the machines. However, Stark, Stane and other prisoners rebelled against the Mandarin, and fought the Titanomechs. The deadly machines were destroyed when Resilient remotely connected Iron Man to network of microrobots known as the Swarm, which Stark weaponized to lay waste to the Titanomechs. ============================================================ Time-Shift Bomb Kind: item Page: Time-Shift Bomb Formal name: Time-Shift Bomb Type: Grenade First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 318 Created by: Steve Englehart; Keith Pollard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom Dimensions: 2.86–2.94 inches Notes: The book Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 theorizes that this item may have been excogitated from Doom's previous development Time Platform. It also speculates that Doom may have more units of it. History: This item was a sphere with a diameter of 2.86–2.94 inches with a crystal-like surface and a multicoloured whirlwind inside of it, which may be due to gases or energy. When the ball breaks by contact with the floor or any other reason, it launches everybody in the vicinity only two seconds into the past for a variable time, in any case less than one minute. Doctor Doom, who developed the item, was immune to this effect. Victims may be able to avoid the effect by dodging the explosion.; People affected by the time-shift were unable to perceive their present environment, instead seeing and hearing the events that had happened two seconds ago. This allowed the user (e.g. Doom) to take quick action that his enemies could not prevent (e.g. escape while the enemies attacked a position that Doom had already left). Doom knew that a victim's mind could adjust to the change, but not quick enough in combat situation.; Doom used this item once against the Fantastic Four so that they could not prevent him from infiltrating their headquarters and reach the Negative Zone Portal. ============================================================ Time Displacer Kind: item Page: Time Displacer Formal name: Time Displacer Type: Technology First appearance: Thor Vol 1 410 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of destruction: Forests near Doomstadt; Latveria Previous owners: Doctor Doom History: After being ousted from the Latverian throne by Kristoff Vernard, Victor von Doom developed this machine that could create a Time Displacement Cone of up to two square miles of surface. Anyone and anything in that area became immovile as time itself was suspended. People in the area stopped aging or suffering hunger or thirst, but were vulnerable to attacks of people not affected by the item like Doom himself, protected by his armor. Once activated, the device was to remain static, at less than five miles from the limits of the Time Displacement Cone. The machine sent recognisable -and traceable- weird electrical disturbances.; The Displacer, shaped like a human-sized steel vice with circuitry and lights, required as a power source a very powerful mystical artifact to work. Doom selected Thor's enchanted hammer Mjolnir for this purpose. Doom sent his robotic minion the Time-bot to steal the hammer, then he surreptitiously travelled to Latveria in his ship Gyroscopic Aircraft along with the Time-bot, several Servo-Guards and the dismantled Displacer. They landed in the woods near Doomstadt, where Doom ordered his Servo-Guards to build the machine. Once they finished, the Time-bot placed the hammer in position, Doom activated the device and all movement in the area stopped. Doom left to raid the Castle and confront Vernard, leaving the robots to protect the machine.; Superheroes Hercules and She-Hulk, along with architect Eric Masterson (Thor's human identity at the time) followed Doom's trail to Latveria in an attempt to recover Thor's hammer. They found the Displacer because it was generating electrical disturbances. The robots tried to stop the heroes, but were unable to. Masterson reached the hammer -by pole-vaulting over the Time-bot- and, by taking the hammer from its position by force, he caused a reaction that destroyed the machine in a huge explosion that dismantled the nearby Time-bot. Masterson himself became Thor and was unharmed.; Doom never built a second unit of this machine, as far as is known. ============================================================ Time Projector Kind: item Page: Time Projector Formal name: Time Projector Type: Technology First appearance: Eternals Annual Vol 1 1 Created by: Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Zakka Current owner: Zakka History: The time projector was used by Zakka to capture creatures from the past and project them in the present time. ============================================================ Time Displacement Dial (Earth-6297) Kind: item Page: Time Displacement Dial Formal name: Time Displacement Dial Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 405 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Paul Ryan Reality: Earth-6297 Lead designer: Artur Zarrko Current owner: Artur Zarrko Previous owners: Artur Zarrko History: Ant-Man narrowly dodged the Whizzer and managed to snag Zarrko's time control device attached to his belt. With the device disabled it returned all the attackers to their proper era. ============================================================ Time-Dilation Accelerator (Earth-92131) Kind: item Page: Time-Dilation Accelerator Formal name: Time-Dilation Accelerator Other aliases: Interdimensional Probe Type: Technology First appearance: Spider-Man (1994 animated series) Season 3 10 Created by: Bob Richardson; John Semper; Stan Berkowitz; James Krieg Reality: Earth-92131 Lead designer: Dr. Ohnn Additional designers: Stark Industries Previous owners: Baron Mordo; Green Goblin; Hobgoblin; Iron Man; Kingpin; Spot; Stark Industries Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Dr. Johnathon Ohnn designed the Time-Dilation Accelerator to create portals that can transport people or objects across spacetime. Dr. Johnathon Ohnn was a scientist who worked on the inter-dimensional technology for Stark Industries. However, Tony Stark fired him and terminated the project, considering it too dangerous to continue after Carnage and Baron Mordo stole it and almost used it to release Dormammu to their dimension. Ohnn was bitter about this, but was approached by Wilson Fisk, who offered to provide him a lab for him to continue the project. Unaware that Fisk was secretly the Kingpin of Crime, Ohnn agreed, and took an instant liking to his new lab partner, Silvia Lopez.; After they were successful in recreating the technology, Johnathon was accidentally sucked into a portal, and became a magnet to the portals which attached to him. The incident also scattered several portals around the city, but Johnathon managed to close them all before they cause any damage. However, one portal was left open and gradually began to widen.Calling himself the Spot, Ohnn proceeded to rob banks and jewelry stores to fund his own research, planning to set up his own lab for him and Silvia, with whom he had fallen in love. He also planned to take down the Kingpin, but Fisk had already taken Silvia hostage. Kingpin tried to force him into capturing Spider-Man to ensure her safety, but the Spot double-crossed him and convinced Spider-Man to work with him to save Silvia. However, everyone became distracted by the portal which had previously been left open by Ohnn, which had widened and threatened to engulf the entire world. Kingpin put aside his differences and provided Ohnn with a plane so that he could close it, and Johnathon sacrificed himself to do so, along with Silvia who went with him so that they could be together. The pair's final fate remains unknown, but given the nature of Spot's powers, it is possible they survived and are now living in an alternate dimension.; The device was lost but found by a man in the park. He tried to sell it at a Pawn Shop but accidentally created a large portal. Hobgoblin got the device and intended to use it against Kingpin.; Eventually, Green Goblin got it and caused the disappearance of Mary Jane Watson and himself, though Spider-Man thought they were both dead. The device fell into the limbo with the Green Goblin, and has not been seen since. ============================================================ Timefog (Earth-61284) Kind: item Page: Timefog Formal name: Timefog Type: Spell First appearance: Marvel Avengers Academy Created by: TinyCo Reality: Earth-61284 History: The Timefog was a phenomenon of unknown origin that enveloped the Avengers compound.

Brock Jones the original Torpedo, had a sufficient degree of skill in piloting the suit. However the new user Michiko Musashi possesses a far greater natural compatibility and this combined with her greater length of time using the suit has enabled her to access functions Brock could not, such as the suit's limited ability to reconfigure itself cosmetically according to the wearer's wishes.; Flight: The Torpedo battle suit allows the user to fly at speeds up to and including supersonic levels; Force Field Generation: The suit can generate a low level force field to protect her from the adverse physical stress of moving at such speeds; Energy Blast: Using the small nuclear-powered turbines built into the gauntlets and boots of the suit, Mickey is able to project a pulsed concussive force blast nicknamed a "Turbo Punch" which is essentially a jet-powered punch, enabling her to strike opponents or objects with a tremendous amount of force. Using a dual-fisted double Turbo Punch delivers force equal to a full-powered punch from a superhuman with Class 100 strength. The wearer can regulate these hyper-punches so as to strike a person without causing serious injury. The wearer can also use these turbines to create blasts of high-speed air, projecting both wide wind gusts and narrow gusts and simulating concussive force.; Enhanced Strength: Assisted by the power of the turbo jets, the suit is capable of providing the wearer with superhuman strength, as well. The level of superhuman strength conferred is again based on the wearer's compatibility with the suit and familiarity with its functions. Brock Jones was capable of lifting (pressing) approximately 1 ton; Visor: Built into the Suit's visor is a device able to detect Dire Wraiths (a divergent branch of the Skrulls) no matter what form they take, given to Brock Jones by Rom the Spaceknight in order to better protect the town of Clairton, West Virginia during the Wraiths' attempted conquest of the Earth. It is possible that it may be able to detect Skrulls, as well. History: Senator Eugene Stivak asked his young scientist nephew Michael Stivak to design a battlesuit for national defense. He built a high-tech suit equipped with turbo-jets that can propel the wearer through the air and magnify physical blows. Learning that his uncle was the leader of the criminal organization the Corporation, Stivak designed an inferior battlesuit for his uncle and secretly developed another suit. Using the alias "Torpedo" he tried to stop his uncle and the Corporation's plans, but during the fight he was stopped by the hero Daredevil. ============================================================ Twilight Sword (Surtur) Kind: item Page: Twilight Sword (Surtur) Formal name: Twilight Sword Other aliases: Elderstahl; Surtur's Twilight; Surtur's Sword; Sword of Doom; Sword of Surtur; Twilight; Twilight of the Gods Type: Sword First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 97 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Muspelheim; Magical Lead designer: Surtur Place of creation: Reforged in the Burning Galaxy Place of destruction: # Destroyed in Muspelheim by the combined power of Odin, Vili, and Ve; # Destroyed in Asgard during the final Ragnarök after Surtur fulfilled his purpose; # Destroyed in Muspelheim by Thor with Mjolnir and Twilight's Shadow Current owner: Beta Ray Bill Previous owners: Surtur; Heimdall; Hela; Morgan Le Fay; Silver Surfer Alternate owners: King Thanos, Magik (Moira VII.1) Dimensions: Variable Properties: The Twilight Sword is powered by the life force of the planets that were destroyed when it was reforged, being described by Surtur as omnipotent. According to the Grand Vizier, the Twilight Sword is the only weapon capable of defeating true elementals. The sole threat of the sword was enough to make Ymir retreat. The sword is capable of cutting through Odin-Force energy blasts, and even cleave Yggdrasill. Twilight is intrinsically connected to Surtur, to the point that he is able to emerge from the blade's shadow.; When the sword is bonded with the Eternal Flame, its powers are further increased to an unknown level, allowing it to destroy the Ten Realms and the universe itself.; Energy Manipulation: Twilight is capable of manipulating vast amounts of mystical energy, including the fiery energy of Muspelheim. Surtur was able to control and channel the power of the Casket of Ancient Winters with Twilight to trap Odin.; Energy Absorption: When Twilight is near the Eternal Flame, it’s capable of absorbing its power, also replenishing the power of its bearer.; Power Amplification: Twilight can augment exponentially the power of its bearer, as Hela was capable of fight and outmatch Thor. After the Silver Surfer merged Twilight with his surfboard, imbued in both Power Cosmic and the sword's power, the Surfer became one of the most powerful beings in the universe. The Surfer became more durable than diamond, gained the strength to rip through a black hole cluster, the stamina to figth a pantheon of gods for a thousand years, travel the vacuum of deep space faster than light and self-restoration.; Light Generation: Twilight can generate large amounts of light.; Fire Generation and manipulation: Twilight can generate fire, enveloping its blade, it can shoot powerful blasts of fire.; Electricity Generation and manipulation: While in Bill's possession, Twilight can seemingly generate or channel great amounts of electricity to the point of producing thunder and lightning.; Reality Warping: Twilight has the power to destroy and manipulate reality. It can cut through time and space to access another realm, as Surtur was capable to cut the barrier between Asgard and Midgard. Tapping into the sword's power, Loki was able to transform Thor into a frog, while Morgan Le Fay was capable to reshape the entire planet Earth into a medieval world after using the Chaos Magic of the Scarlet Witch to "bridge the gap" between her personal faerie powers and the Asgardian magics bound to the blade. Hela on the other hand, was able to use the power of the sword to remake the Nine Realms into her own image, while Thor used it to undo Hela's changes.; Worthiness: The sword has its own worthiness for it to be wielded, however, unlike Mjolnir and Stormbreaker, Twilight demands a warrior worthy of it. If someone unworthy tries to wield it, Twilight reels producing an intense light.; Transformation: Due to the immense energy that powers the sword, Twilight can be used by Beta Ray Bill to revert to his original Korbinite form. When the transformation happens, Twilight can either remain in its original form, or change into a wooden cane. Notes: Beyond sharing their names, there seems to be no connection between this sword and the Twilight Sword of Annihilation.; After the repaired Twilight Sword appeared at the deepest level of Muspelheim, it releases an smoky fiery aura. Even after it was merged with his surfboard, the board and the Silver Surfer himself began to release such smoky aura. History: Twilight was the sword of Surtur, the leader of the Fire Giants, which will "raze all that is when the end of time is nigh" after being ignited by the Eternal Flame of Destruction. When Odin, Vili, and Ve Borson traveled to Muspelheim to prevent Surtur from one day destroying the Nine Realms during Ragnarok, Surtur fought against the combined power of the three brothers, leading to the destruction of the original Twilight and the theft of the Eternal Flame.; The Twilight Sword was reforged in the heart of the Burning Galaxy. After exploding the core of the galaxy, destroying several planets to produce the metal ingot, and harnessing the power of its stars, Surtur forged Twilight on his anvil. The half finished Twilight was used by Surtur to uncover Hugin and Munin, attacking them, and killing Hugin. After finishing the forge of the sword, Surtur tempered it in lakes of brimstone, and finished it by adding the hilt, guard and pommel, destroying the anvil with it.; After preparing his army, Surtur used Twilight to open the portal that was previously closed by Thor and Beta Ray Bill, and frozen thanks to Malekith with the Casket of Ancient Winters, unleashing his army into the universe. Arriving on Midgard and finding the path to the Bifrost and Asgard, Surtur defeated Heimdall before destroying the bridge with Twilight. Surtur wielded Twilight against Odin and the Odin-Force and, despite Twilight absorbing the power of the Eternal Flame for a time, he was still outmatched by Odin. Breaking the barrier between Asgard and Midgard with the sword, allowing the winters of the Casket of Ancient Winters to enter Asgard, Surtur commanded the power with Twilight to trap Odin. After Surtur's attempt to ignite the sword with the Eternal Flame failed, Loki revealed it to be an illusion, Surtur battled him. However, after Odin was released, Surtur was attacked by him along with Loki and Thor, the latter was able to make Surtur lose Twilight's grip with a blow from Mjolnir.; After Surtur's defeat, Twilight was left where he dropped it during his fight. Loki took advantage and hide the sword with his magic, he used a machine to harness its energy to turn Thor into a frog. Despite Loki's attempts to hide the sword, he was discovered, and the machine was ultimately destroyed by Volstagg, returning Thor to normal. Because of the danger Twilight posed, the Asgardians constructed a scabbard for the sword in order to secure it, holding it in place with unbreakable skeins crafted in the dwarven forges of Eitri.; Twilight was later moved by Odin into the Sea of Eternal Night for safekeeping. Due to Surtur and Ymir were fighting in Asgard, Thor retrieved Twilight from the Sea of Eternal Night, as it was the only weapon capable of defeating a true elemental. Thor ignited the sword with the Eternal Flame and hurled it at the two giants, causing them both to fight over it. Thor took advantage and used the God-Blast to defeat them, sending both of them along with Twilight to the Sea of Eternal Night. Despite being suspended in time inside the Sea of Eternal Night, both Surtur and Ymir managed to fight each other for Twilight.; After the Bifrost was destroyed, some of its pieces arrived in the Sea of Eternal Night, transporting Twilight to Midgard, landing in Tintagel, England. Thor along with the Avengers arrived to retrieve the sword, however, they were confronted by Mordred and Morgan Le Fay, the latter used the Chaos Magic of the Scarlet Witch to bridge the gap between her personal faerie powers and the Asgardian magic bound to the blade, allowing her to claim the Twilight Sword and use its power to reshape the entire planet into a medieval world. Morgan used Twilight against the Avengers, however, she was ultimately defeated, returning the planet to its normal state. Thor retrieved the sword and returned it to the Sea of Eternal Night.; ===Modern Age===; At some point, Twilight returned to Muspelheim, however its Eternal Flame was extinguished. Surtur would eventually recover Twilight, using it to destroy Asgard during the final Ragnarök. With his purpose fulfilled, Surtur died, while Twilight ended up destroyed. The remnants of the sword were used by Omega Ray to try to kill Beta Ray Bill. However, Bill destroyed the remnants of the weapon with Stormbreaker before finishing off Omega Ray.; Some years later, Ymir took possession of a repaired Twilight Sword, keeping it encased in ice within a stronghold in the in-between of mortal and godly planes. Ymir resurfaced on Manhattan in Midgard, using his powers to try to merge the world of the gods and the world of man. However, after the New Avengers and the Avengers confronted him and were banished to the in-between planes, Ares retrieved the Twilight Sword, releasing it from its containment, causing Ymir to retreat, undoing the merging of the worlds as well. Ares gave the sword to Thor, who returned it to Asgard for safekeeping.; After Asgard's destruction during the Siege, Hela took the Twilight Sword, using its power to take control and remade the Nine Realms in her image. Confronting Thor on Vanaheim, Hela defeated him with Twilight. The Goddess of Death tried in vain to destroy Mjolnir using her power combined with Twilight before defeating the Enchantress, who previously fought her to protect Thor. At the final stand between Hela and Thor forces, Hela stabbed Thor with Twilight, however, he was saved and healed by Amora. Hela was ultimately defeated, with Thor using Twilight to undo the changes that Hela did. Thor entrusted Heimdall with Twilight, to protect and hide it for all time. Some time later, when the World Eaters attacked the ruins of Asgard, Thor sought the Twilight Sword as a mean to defeat them, using it to cleave Yggdrasill, trapping the World Eaters and the sword inside it.; Twilight ended up in Limbo, where it was recovered by a revived and trapped Surtur. Finding Loki, Surtur made a deal, allowing him to take Twilight's Shadow as a mean for him to escape Limbo and emerge on Asgard through it. However, it was a trick, as Loki summoned and released Surtur on Dark Asgard, destroying it before returning to Muspelheim. While preparing for another war against the Asgardians, Surtur met again with Loki, who stole Twilight's Shadow. After realizing this, Surtur cut himself with Twilight, releasing the Hel Wolf to hunt Loki. After capturing him, Surtur tried to execute him and Leah with Twilight, however, he was attacked by Thor with the legions of Hel. Thor was able to destroy Twilight and kill Surtur by merging the stolen Twilight's Shadow with Mjolnir. The broken Twilight was retrieved and stored in the armory of Asgard.; After his last defeat at the hands of the Asgardians, a repaired Twilight Sword appeared at the deepest level of Muspelheim, alongside a resurrected Surtur, unable to escape that part of the realm. Twilight deemed Surtur unworthy of it, and left him waiting for a warrior to prove his worthiness to the sword. Beta Ray Bill reached the level of the sword to claim it as a replacement for the destroyed Stormbreaker, but was stopped by Surtur. After a fight between Surtur and Bill, the Korbinite claimed Twilight and used it to slay Surtur and return to his mortal form. Twilight was later placed in a containment unit on Skuttlebutt. Later, Bill used Twilight to fight the God of Hammers.; Bill used Twilight to fight the Enders along the Cosmic Ghost Rider, the Silver Surfer, and Galactus. However, Bill and the Rider were defeated, the Surfer borrowed Twilight and merged it with his surfboard, imbuing himself with both the Power Cosmic and the fiery fury of the sword, greatly increasing his powers. Despite this, the Surfer was defeated, being saved along with Galactus by Infinity and transported to Earth.

Maggin; Yong Montano Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Grecian Lead designer: Epelus, Athena Additional designers: Odysseus, Loki Laufeyson Place of creation: Troy, Greece Material: Wood Model: Unique History: The Trojan Horse was a giant wooden horse-shaped statue built on a wheeled platform so it could be easily moved, or better, that was what trojans was intended to think of the Horse.; In order to end the Trojan War between Greece and the city of Troy, the greek Odysseus, following Loki's suggestion, decided to built that in order to hide some warriors inside and then to attack Troy from the inside. Epelus and the Greek goddess Athena herself managed to physically create the Horse. Their plan was to fake the Greeks' departure from Troy, leaving the wooden "statue" behind them as a "gift" for Trojans. Cassandra and Laocoön tried to convince Trojans not to accept the "gift", but as the latter was eaten by giant sea serpents, they carried the Horse inside the city, celebrating the defeat of Greeks.; However, during the night, Greeks warriors exited from the Horse and burnt the city, killing almost everyone within. ============================================================ Trigger 42 Kind: item Page: Trigger 42 Formal name: Trigger 42 Other aliases: Trigger Scent Type: Unique Drug First appearance: X-23 Vol 1 2 Created by: Craig Kyle; Christopher Yost Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: The Facility Additional designers: Arcade Place of creation: The Facility Current owner: The Facility; Arcade History: Trigger 42 is a green liquid, which was created by The Facility, in order to control X-23. X-23 was tortured into reacting to it via a combination of waterboarding and electric shock, so that whenever she smelled it she would instinctively attack whatever it was applied to, regardless of whether she wanted to or not. It was eventually determined by Jean Grey that Laura's consciousness retreated into one of her only happy memories of her time at the Facility as a defense mechanism in response to the torture, thus explaining her blackouts when under its effects.; Despite a conditioning process that made Laura uniquely susceptible to the scent while remaining innocuous to anyone else, somehow a variation was synthesized that would affect anyone who came in contact with it, and was tested in Paris by an unidentified woman who acquired a sample of the original trigger in Madripoor. It was later redesigned as a gas by Arcade on his Murderworld, to make X-23 attack her companions of the Avengers Academy.; While Laura insisted she had no control over her actions while blacked out, she was eventually revealed to have some level of subconscious resistance. For example rather than killing anything in her path while under its effects, she was often able to refrain from a lethal response against individuals who were not marked with the trigger, engaging them only when they interfered with her efforts to attack the marked target. One such example was Kimura's attempt to use Laura to assassinate Tyger Tiger; although Laura successfully destroyed a Life Model Decoy marked with the scent and placed by Tyger, Gambit, and Gabby as a distraction, she nonetheless spared the lives of the bodyguards who attempted to stop her.; Although Emma Frost speculated Laura would never be able to overcome her conditioning, and Laura herself believed the same, Jean was able to break it by telepathically observing her responses while under its effects, and helping her consciousness break free from the memory where it sheltered during her blackouts. Following Jean's efforts Laura is no longer affected by the trigger. ============================================================ Turbolift (Earth-8710) Kind: item Page: Turbolift Formal name: Turbolift Type: Technology First appearance: Thor Vol 1 483 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-8710 ============================================================ Traffic Drones (Earth-8710) Kind: item Page: Traffic Drones Formal name: Traffic Drones Type: Drone First appearance: Thor Vol 1 483 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-8710 ============================================================ Trident of Neptune Kind: item Page: Trident of Neptune Formal name: Trident of Neptune Other aliases: Enchanted Trident; Neptune's Trident; Poseidon's Trident; Sacred Trident of Atlantis Type: Energy Weapon; Trident First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 70 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Origin: Olympian; Magical weapon made of Adamantine Lead designer: Neptune Place of creation: Olympus Current owner: Namor Previous owners: Jacqueline Trufaut Trivia: There are three tridents: the original with Neptune (implied), one left in Pontus, and the other given to Namor.; Either Namor doesn't use the Trident's full potential out of honor or he has little to no knowledge of how it works using it many times as simply a blunt object or a tool to get around quickly.; A human who spent years studying Atlantis was able to use the Trident's full power soon after getting her hands on it. History: Over 2,000 years ago Atlanteans started worshiping Set. Neptune fought and banished Set, and destroyed his Atlantean cult. He later lived among the Atlanteans for a time as a mortal. Upon his mortal death he was buried with his Trident, this copy ultimately came into the possession of Namor.; Namor was given a copy the Trident by Neptune after completing a series of quest to prove his worthiness for the Throne of Atlantis.; Namor's original copy was broken by Jacqueline Trufaut using the copy she found in the ruins of Pontus.; Namor used the trident to inflict a deadly blow to Suma-Ket.; ==Capabilities==; Neptune's Trident is in part made of Enchanted Adamantine while probably possessing numerous other properties many of which have yet to be completely revealed, the Trident is capable of many things centering but not limited to water-base feats.; Water Manipulation - Ability to control any body of water, create water elementals, speed ships, and other water vehicles with water, create fogs and storms of high intensity, summon waves of water to propel him at great speeds, and create earthquakes by increasing water pressure.; Mystic Beams - (Shooting from the Trident) It's been constantly depicted that lights or lasers of many colors with many of their own attributes from healing, damaging, cursing, and granting.; Mystic Formation - A unique power to transform objects, willing subjects, and even the wielder, to any desired form with added abilities. ============================================================ Tracker Arrow (Amy Chen) Kind: item Page: Tracker Arrow (Amy Chen) Formal name: Amy Chen's Tracker Arrow Other aliases: Tracker Arrow Type: Arrow; Technology First appearance: Silver Sable and the Wild Pack Vol 1 2 Created by: Gregory Wright; Steven Butler Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Amy Chen History: Arrows with tracking technology.

The status of Lydon's bracelet has not been updated.; The bracelets at least can be set to unfasten at a command phrase - although whether that includes voice-recognition capabilities is not as yet clear. ============================================================ Toolbox (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Toolbox Formal name: Toolbox Other aliases: Black Box Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 22 Created by: Maurissa Tancharoen; Jed Whedon Reality: Earth-199999 Current owner: Chronicom Hunters Previous owners: S.H.I.E.L.D. Material: Vibranium History: The Toolbox, also known as the Black Box, is a Vibranium cube-shaped device given to Phil Coulson by Nick Fury to help rebuild S.H.I.E.L.D.. One of the first instructions in the device was the location of Fury Secret Base 8, otherwise known as the Playground, a hidden S.H.I.E.L.D. base from which Coulson could begin to rebuild.; In the months spent rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson had as much time to study the Toolbox, taking note of the first 0-8-4 (object of unknown origin) known as the Obelisk.; The Toolbox later became a target for acquisition by secret splinter faction of S.H.I.E.L.D, led by Robert Gonzales. Gonzales believed that the Toolbox contained information on superhumans that Fury had kept hidden, and Gonzales wanted that information to help him end their potential threat. To that end he sent agents Mack and Morse to infiltrate Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. and steal the Toolbox. The theft was thwarted, forcing Gonzales to capture the Playground instead. However, the Toolbox would only work for Coulson, who had escaped capture and fled. Gonzales turned to Leo Fitz for help with unlocking it, but Fitz chose to resign from S.H.I.E.L.D. and departed the Playground with the Toolbox, leaving Jemma Simmons and a toolbox replica behind him. Fitz later managed to unlock the device, enabling him to get in contact with Coulson and Lance Hunter.; Fitz rendezvoused with Coulson and returned to the Toolbox. Immediately activating the device, Coulson explained that they needed to find Skye, but the problem was that she had been taken by a teleporter of whom Coulson had limited information. He suspected that Hydra might have some leads, as he pulled up files on its remaining leaders, Wolfgang von Strucker and Doctor List, who had recently become interested in superhumans.; When Coulson later turned himself over to Gonzales, he stated that he knew about the dangerous secret Gonzales was keeping on his ship, "The Iliad", revealing that the Toolbox contained information on it, and offered to open it in exchange for his cooperation against Hydra. Gonzales agreed to Coulson's terms, and Coulson honored their agreement permitting Gonzales access to the Toolbox, though he did reveal that Nick Fury was alive and would probably come for it.; After two Inhumans were forced to flee the Iliad after attempting to ascertain the location of a Kree superweapon being held on the carrier, Gonzales asked Coulson if the Toolbox had any information on the alien artifact. Coulson answered that he only knew that Hydra had sought it. ============================================================ Translator Implant (Alien Technology) Kind: item Page: Translator Implant (Alien Technology) Formal name: Translator Implant Type: Translator First appearance: Annihilation: Conquest - Starlord Vol 1 1 Created by: Keith Giffen; Timothy Green II Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Kree Current owner: Star-Lord (Earth-199999); Peter Quill (Earth-616) Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The translator implant is commonly used throughout the galaxy to allow communication between species.

In that issue, Mr. Fantastic recognizes the threat of the Tractor Beam explicitly because Luke Cage told him about it after Cage's encounter with it in Hero for Hire Vol 1 9. Indeed, Cage finds this Tractor Beam in that issue.; Machines of Doom Vol 1 1 also says that, as far as is known, no-one ever escaped the Tractor Beam; but the Fantastic Four do exactly that in Super-Villain Team-Up #6. History: The Tractor Beams developed by Doctor Doom to protect Latveria's borders from airborne intruders are shot from ground locations and could stop most aerial vehicles, encasing the vehicle in a force field. It could also trap flying superheroes. When the Tractor Beam is controlling the ship, the ship can be guided to dock at any position the operators choose, and it can be submitted to other artifacts such as a Monitor-Mirage to notify their situation. Doom would rather intercept intruders without killing them. Captured vehicles could attempt to escape the Beam using speed, sheer power, or some other countermeasure. Doctor Doom covered the borders of his country with fifty tractor beams, each of them manually operated full-time by five Servo-Guard robots, with three replacement robots in dormant state.; At one point, private eye Luke Cage went to Latveria to ask Doom for payment due to a previous job. He traveled in a vehicle borrowed by the Fantastic Four, leading to the Latverian defenses to identify him as the Fantastic Four. The Tractor Beam intercepted the vehicle and forced her to land in a given hangar while a huge hologram, Monitor-Mirage, explained the situation. Cage only left Latveria because he managed to be in relatively good terms with Doom and, after he returned to New York City, he reported his trip to the Fantastic Four. Understanding Doom's defenses, Fantastic Four leader Mr. Fantastic developed counter-measures for the Tractor Beam.; Later, when the Fantastic Four invaded Latveria onboard their Fantasticar, they were intercepted by the Tractor Beam as first defense line, but Mr. Fantastic's counter-measures were successful and allowed the Fantasti-Car to overcome the Tractor Beam. The Fantastic Four then moved on to the second defense line of Latveria: Omni-Missiles. ============================================================ Transmode Virus Kind: item Page: Transmode Virus Formal name: Transmode Virus Type: Virus First appearance: New Mutants Vol 1 21 Created by: Chris Claremont; Bill Sienkiewicz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technarch Current owner: Warlock; Magus; Tyro; Hope; Chi-Chee; Ultron Previous owners: Mutants resurrected during Necrosha (except Douglas Ramsey); William Stryker; Leper Queen; Cameron Hodge; Graydon Creed; Stephen Lang; Bolivar Trask; Eli Bard; Paradigm Properties: The Transmode Virus is highly virulent. It can transmit via skin contact, though a Technarch can prevent transmission, and will transform a creature into a techno-organic creature within seconds. Only mutants have some resistance to the virus. For instance, Doug Ramsey was infected with the virus, but his infection only progressed very slowly and he was unaware he had been infected. This may have been caused by either his own mutant facility with computer code preventing the virus from infecting him at the usual rate, or a side-effect of the fact he was not infected in the usual manner, but rather had picked it up after repeatedly fusing his body and genetic code with that of the Technarch Warlock.; An infected creature also gains the ability to shapeshift. They can quickly restore themselves when damaged and can interface directly with machinery. While Technarchs feed by draining other techno-organic beings, Phalanxes have the ability to directly absorb matter, both organic and inorganic.; The Phalanx also experience a loss of individuality, forming a hive mind with other Phalanx and the need to contact other techno-organic life. This was a safety precaution created by the Technarchy, which considers the Phalanx to be a plague and which exterminates them whenever it discovers them. Through particular use of the virus by the immortal Eliphas, it is discovered that Transmode can also resurrect the dead; not only bringing them back to life fully intact, but somewhat changed.; As if capitalizing on their dead status, mutants resurrected during Necrosha gained a host of supernatural abilities; the infected deceased operated like zombies who need not eat, sleep, breath, or rest to replenish themselves. The revived Hellions waded through deep ocean water without worry of drowning or crushing pressure depths. They also boasted regeneration similar to regular Phalanx-infected individuals, only treated more akin to evil spirits who could only be truly slain through the shamanistic practices of James Proudstar, hinting at a supernatural element they may have possessed. Notes: The Transmode Virus is a Class X Pathogen. History: ===History===; The Transmode virus is used by members of the Technarchy to turn other beings into techno-organic beings. The Technarchy can then feed upon the infected beings and drain their energy, visible as lights flowing through the infected creature. Once the energy has been drained, all that remains of their prey are brittle statues. If an infected creature is not drained of its energy, it becomes a Phalanx. Transmode-infected creatures were usually black and yellow, although they can change their color.; After resurrecting and manipulating the body of Magus, Bastion used the virus to resurrect members of his newly created Human Council. At this time, Warren's feathered wings were ripped-off, by a controlled Wolfsbane, and, upon investigating, it was revealed that he still carried the Apocalypse strain of Techno-Organic Virus and his feathered wings were simply Techno-Organic appearing feathers. Warren has since been able to switch back and forth between the two. Matthew Risman used the feathered wings to create the Choir, a group of Purifiers endowed with Techno-Organic wings that were opposed to Bastion's Human Council.; Being a member of Bastion's Human Council, Eli Bard stole a sample of the transmode to use for Selene. Resurrecting all of the mutants slaughtered on Genosha and around the world (Those killed in Neverland, the Hellions, etc) and absorb all of their lifeforce to empower her to ascend to a divinity. However, Douglas Ramsey was able to corrupt the T-O virus code to freed himself from Selene's control.; During the Second Coming Bastion used the Transmode virus to track Cable's similar techno-organic virus, in order to kill the Mutant Messiah. Bastion also used the techno-organic virus to restructure Graydon Creed and Stephen Lang into Sentinels. Later, Cable freed the virus to transform him totally in a metal-skinned mutant, to allow him opening a portal from Earth-811 to Earth-616 and saving X-Force from an inescapable killing-sentinels and surviving destiny. He then exploded from the effort, leaving his originally infected arm on the floor, and was sent to Earth-4935 by an unknown phenomenon.; Despite having survived, Cable was still dying from the virus. He then decided to take down the Avengers before his death. Failing in his mission and injured, he was cured by Hope Summers who used the Phoenix Force to annihilate the virus, on the advice of Blaquesmith. This led to many complications for Cable, who used to employ his powers to repress the virus.; The Transmode Virus once infected Limbo courtesy of Magus, who mutated many of the denizens into Technarch-demon hybrids called Techno-Demons. ============================================================ Transluminal Tuning Fork Kind: item Page: Transluminal Tuning Fork Formal name: Transluminal Tuning Fork Other aliases: TL Tuning Fork Type: Technology First appearance: All-New Guardians of the Galaxy Annual Vol 1 1 Created by: Chad Bowers; Chris Sims; Danilo Beyruth Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Galactus Current owner: Guardians of the Galaxy Previous owners: Galactus History: The Transluminal Tuning Fork was built and used by Galactus to disrupt a magnetic defense shield surrounding Luphom II. It was recovered by a group of scientists that studied the Devourer of Worlds, and kept in their base of operations in the Jojola Nebula.; When the Guardians of the Galaxy set out to help take down the Planetary Defense Shield that surrounded the Earth, they were directed by Mantis to Jojola Nebula in order to retrieve the Tuning Fork. The Guardians soon arrived to Jojola Nebula with the help of Yondu Udonta, and discovered the fork was being used as a component of a crude statue of Galactus created by an army of Punishers which had overrun the base of the scientists that had studied their master.; Yondu subsequently double-crossed the Guardians and abandoned Gamora in the middle of nowhere, soon revealing he was being backed-up by the Ravagers, with whom he planned to take the Tuning Fork and sell it to Earth rather than give it without charge.; The Ravagers and the Guardians were forced to take refuge in a facility after the Punishers swarmed the Ravagers' ship. While the Punishers closed in on the facility, Gamora arrived to it having recovered the Tuning Fork from the Ravagers' ship, and used it to take down the Punishers. Unfortunately, while taking a look at it, Rocket Raccoon noticed the Tuning Fork had been partially taken apart by the Punishers, which caused Gamora's use of it to burn it out. Regardless of Gamora's actions, Rocket also determined the Tuning Fork's potency in its previous state wouldn't have been enough to take down the Planetary Defense Shield either way. ============================================================ Translation Helmet Kind: item Page: Translation Helmet Formal name: Translation Helmet Type: Technology; Translator; Helmet First appearance: Monsters Unleashed Vol 2 2 Created by: Cullen Bunn; Greg Land Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Device created by Moon Girl to decipher the Leviathons' language. Lead designer: Lunella Lafayette Current owner: Moon Girl Model: 1 Version: 2 History: When the swarms of Leviathons began to fall to Earth, Moon Girl vowed to help resolve the problem with science, and to this end she developed a device which translated the monsters' shrieks and howls, revealing they were in fact coordinating in an effort to cleanse the planet as an offering to their ruler.; When her partner, Devil Dinosaur, was drawn by Kei Kawade as a demonstration of his powers, Lunella was instantly summoned to his location at Parker Industries, New York Headquarters as well. She took an immediate liking to the fellow NuHuman, in part due to their closeness in age, and shared with him her findings regarding the Leviathon Tide's intentions.; Lunella then miniaturized her decoder into a Translation Helmet which she patched into the building's intercom in order to allow everyone present to hear what the invaders were saying, though Kid Kaiju later admitted he could understand the Leviathon Mother without the helmet's deciphering capabilities.; Later, Moon Girl further miniaturized the Translation Helmet and amplified its range with a communication array set up on the roof of the highest point of Manhattan's Lower East Side.

Place of creation: Switzerland Current owner: Hope; Chi-Chee; Bastion Previous owners: Mainspring Properties: The Transmech Virus shares its lethal contagion properties of its proginator, that being its high virulence. Through the young mutant Esperonza, it can be transferred through tactile means. By itself however, since it lacks need of an organic conduit to pass on from, it is able to convert anything and everything it comes in contact with into transmech material. Living beings either become fully trans-meched effigy's whom are Phalanx like in mannerisms and behavior, like Hope's pet monkey Chi-Chee; or are rendered physically inert while being mentally active yet trapped in their transmogrified form.; Individuals whom come under the effects of the virus share rudimentary hive psionic linkage with anyone converted in such a way. Given how Esperanza could feel her transmeched companion's pain while suffering under the surgical needle of Mainspring's operators. It was through such findings that the Ex-S.H.I.E.L.D mainliner would enable him to conquer the world.; For through such a facility, piloted by a superior machine mind, could this consciousness projection faculty of the Techno-Mechnical virus enable the remote interfacing of mechanical, digital or computerized technological systems from his personal satellite. One of the faults that comes with this particular virus however, is that anything mechanical that has been trnasmechanized becomes an inert shell inside and out. Meaning that unlike organic elements which retain their natural physiological autonomy to some extent, robotics and automation are automatically rendered dormant until they are supplied with a feasible means of activating and properly powering the transmech'd cell structure of their being.; Even then such a process requires a powerful bio-mechanical control interface in order to properly facilitate all the potential uses the virus is capable of in its entirety.; Due to its derivation from the Phalanx T-O genome, individuals whom process the virus's power run the risk of following its proginator's inborn program to erect a Bable Spire. Calling down the Technarchy race towards an inhabited world via trans-meching any and all available raw materials around itself in order to assimilate it, speeding up the process of construction. History: ===History===; The Transmech Virus is a mutated strain of the Transmode Virus imparted on potential prey by the Phalanx species, created when the latent mutant Esperanza Ling came in contact with one amongst their hive select while on vacation with her family. Although Her parents and grandparents succumbed to the infection and were all subsumed into the collective that day, Ms. Ling was mysteriously untouched by the incursion of the virus. Or so it seemed on the surface, for in truth, Hope was afflicted with said deadly pathogen but didn't fall under its transmorphing affliction due to being a Mutant. At least not in its entirety for unbeknownst to her, Esperanza's latent mutant power was the ability of transmutation. Changing anything into anything else. The natural machine/organic hybridization effect caused a radical transformation of both her inborn abilities and the virus, causing her affliction to mutate into something else entirely.; After the attack Hope was taken by the S.H.I.E.L.D government project headed by the enigmatic Mainspring to study and circumvent the Techno-Organic Virus for its own questionable intentions. Unlike a great many whom failed to see the extent of how much the young girl had changed, the secretive operator knew full well of the underlying potential she now possessed and sought to experiment upon her altered state in order to control this new pathogen she'd created.; For in his own words Hope's iteration of transmodeing was not limited to the mere conversion of biological substance into techno-organic matter like that of the Technarchy or Phalanxc. But the transmechanization of inorganic items of interest as well as organic elements into malleable techno matter which could be externally manipulated into something more useful. Secreting her away for sometime while testing the extent of her virus infection and its properties. Having the girl use her powers on both organic along with non-sentient biotics like plants and animals; such as Chi-Chee with whom she first developed an unbreakable tithe with thanks to their shared affliction. In spite of having managed to secure a strain of such a virus from another of Mainspring's prior test subjects, the inanimate trans-meched automaton whom was studying the subject had been rendered immobile due to lacking internal biophysical power to activate its newfound state of being.; It was not until realizing that a vast infusion of copious raw energy would be necessary to progress his plans for global reformatting, did the bionic mechanist came to see he'd also need a viable interactive command module that is both biological and machine like in nature. To that end, he would spy the semi-destroyed operation unit resembling Bastion's half buried head in New Mexico. ============================================================ Twin Swords of Sprague Kind: item Page: Twin Swords of Sprague Formal name: Twin Swords of Sprague Type: Swords First appearance: War of the Realms Vol 1 3 Created by: Jason Aaron; Russell Dauterman Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian Current owner: Iron Fist Notes: The handles of each sword sport a dragon symbol similar to Iron Fist's own Shou-Lao chest tattoo. History: The Twin Swords of Sprague were a set of Asgardian weapons stored at the armory of the Avengers Mountain. When Captain America assembled the Jotunhiem Strikeforce to retrieve Thor from the realm of the Frost Giants, Iron Fist decided to arm himself with the Twin Swords of Sprague since they were hanged with a label describing that they were feared in Jotunheim. ============================================================ Transcriber Kind: item Page: Transcriber Formal name: Transcriber Type: Technology First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 39 Created by: Gerry Conway; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Previous owners: White Dragon History: The Transcriber was a device used by the White Dragon, which was inside his submarine. It was used on Tony Stark who felt the sting of a thousand electrodes, a crushing pain that seemed to crush his skull, causing him to go unconscious. A small pin-shaped transmitter was placed within him, after which he was released. It controlled Iron Man's thoughts for days, during which time he felt headaches, periodic dizziness, and sensed that he had memories blocked or missing. ============================================================ Torment Machine Kind: item Page: Torment Machine Formal name: Torment Machine Type: Torture Device First appearance: Eternals Vol 1 3 Created by: Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Deviant History: The Deviant Kro was placed on the Torment Machine for his failure in ending the Celestial threat to the Deviants. ============================================================ Trace Armor Kind: item Page: Trace Armor Formal name: Trace Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Avengers: Solo Vol 1 1 Created by: Roger Robinson; Jen Van Meter Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Estonia Current owner: Emi Ishida; Alicia Guzman; Jake; Melanie Dimensions: Varies Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Trace Armor was a prototype armor created in a private research facility in Estonia that Tony Stark had been keeping track of until it was stolen. It had been stolen by fugitive survivors of a Super-Soldier experiment gone wrong: Emi Ishida, Alicia Guzman, Jake, and Melanie.; Emi, Alicia, and Jake shared use of the armor, dubbing it "Trace" after the three of them who used it ("Uno, Dos, Tres") and used it to fight back against the forces who were hunting them.; The full capabilities of the armor are unclear as the Emi, Alicia, and Jake mostly used their own natural powers of force fields, increased muscle mass, and pyrokinesis, respectively, while fighting in it. It does allow for some level of increased strength and speed as Hawkeye (Clint Barton) described Emi, whose natural powers don't include any enhanced physical attributes, as being about as fast and strong as Captain America (Steve Rogers) while wearing it.; The armor appears to be able to adapt to the bodies of those who wear it as both Emi and Jake have different body types and the armor was able to adapt to the change in Alicia's muscle mass. ============================================================ Tri-Crown of the Chaos Godhead Kind: item Page: Tri-Crown of the Chaos Godhead Formal name: Tri-Crown of the Chaos Godhead Type: Crown First appearance: Empyre: X-Men Vol 1 1 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Tini Howard; Matteo Buffagni Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Chaos Godhead Previous owners: Chaos Godhead; Scarlet Witch; Magik; Doctor Strange History: Wanting to make amends for robbing the majority of the world's mutants of their powers, the Scarlet Witch formed a plan to resurrect the sixteen million dead mutants on Genosha. To accomplish this, Scarlet Witch combined the Tri-Crown of the Chaos Godhead with the World Tree Root and the Eye of Alak-Rah. Unfortunately, her spell raised the deceased mutants as zombies.; With assistance from Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch's spell was undone and the zombies were confined to Genosha. However, the spell took nearly thirty days to dissipate.; The day before the spell was broken, the Cotati landed on Genosha with plans to use it as one of their staging areas for an invasion of Wakanda. A team of X-Men was dispatched to investigate the disruption on Genosha, where they discovered the chaos of alien plants battling mutant zombies. During the chaos, Magik obtained the Scarlet Witch's staff triggering her Darkchild demonic persona. However, this transformation was short lived as the spell was broken while the Cotati threat was neutralized by Explodey Boy. ============================================================ Twilight Sword (Amenth) Kind: item Page: Twilight Sword (Amenth) Formal name: Twilight Sword Other aliases: Twilight Blade Midnight Blade Type: Sword First appearance: Powers of X Vol 1 4 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; R.B. Silva Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of creation: Amenth Current owner: Unknown individual Previous owners: Annihilation; Genesis Properties: Dimensional Rifts: The Twilight Sword appears to be able to cut through realities and dimensions.; Potency: The Twilight Sword is powerful enough to split Okkara in half, creating Krakoa and Arakko. Notes: Other than their shared names, it does not appear that there is any connection between this sword and the Twilight Sword of Surtur or the Midnight Blade of Kal Blackbane. History: ===Origins===; Eons ago, the daemon horde of Amenth came to Earth. Attacking the mutant nation on Okkara, the Twilight Sword was used to literally split the land in two, so Okkara became Krakoa and Arakko.; Led by Genesis, Apocalypse, and their First Horsemen, the mutants of Okkara were successful in pushing back the armies of Amenth. However, when offered, Genesis led the mutants of Okkara into the breach into Amenth.; After thousands of years in Amenth, safe behind the walls of Arakko, the mutant nation began to thrive again. This ended when Isca the Unbeaten came to invite Genesis to a parley with Annihilation. Genesis fought and killed Annihilation, but this only freed her daemon horde. After seeing Arakko ravaged by daemons for nearly a century, Genesis finally decided to don the Golden Helm of Amenth and raise the Twilight Sword to command the daemon armies of Amenth.; ===X of Swords===; During the attack of the First Horsemen of Apocalypse on the Starlight Citadel, Saturnyne intervened and set a contest where the forces of Krakoa and Arakko would each have ten swordbearers fighting in Otherworld. Genesis armed with the Twilight Sword was one of the Arakkii chosen as one of the Swordbearers of Arakko.; In the last battle of the tournament, Genesis battled her husband Apocalypse who wielded the Scarab. Genesis was able to shatter the Scarab, but Apocalypse stole the Twilight Sword from Genesis and used it to defeat her. Then Annihilation took control of Genesis and used her sword to summon her armies to Otherworld. Following the defeat of the Amenthi forces at the hands of the X-Men and the Captain Britain Corps, the Twilight Sword was left abandoned on Otherworld where an unknown figure claimed it. ============================================================ Truthful Account of the Salem Witch Trials Kind: item Page: Truthful Account of the Salem Witch Trials Formal name: Truthful Account of the Salem Witch Trials Type: Book First appearance: X-Men: Hellfire Club Vol 1 1 Created by: Ben Raab; Charlie Adlard Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Rev.

After Twilight's Shadow was combined with Mjolnir, their power was enough to destroy the Twilight Sword and slay the Fire Giant. History: Twilight's Shadow was the sword obtained from the shadow of Surtur's Twilight Sword, which Kid Loki was able to get it from the Fire Giant by deception with the false promise to deliver Asgard to him, by emerging from the shadow. As it was a trick by Loki, he summoned and released Surtur on Dark Asgard, destroying it before returning to Muspelheim.; While preparing for another war against the Asgardians, Surtur met again with Loki, who stole Twilight's Shadow. Little after, Surtur was attacked by Thor with the legions of Hel. Loki gave Twilight's Shadow to Thor, who merged it with Mjolnir, allowing him to destroy the Twilight Sword and kill Surtur. With Twilight's destruction, its shadow vanished. ============================================================ Twin Fires of the Shao Pan Kind: item Page: Twin Fires of the Shao Pan Formal name: Twin Fires of the Shao Pan Type: Dagger First appearance: Thunderbolts Annual Vol 2 1 Created by: Ben Acker; Ben Blacker; Matteo Lolli Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Elsa Bloodstone History: Twin Fires of the Shao Pan was a set of magical blades used by Elsa Bloodstone against the True Faeries. ============================================================ Totem of Raptor the Renegade Kind: item Page: Totem of Raptor the Renegade Formal name: Totem of Raptor the Renegade Type: Artifact First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 394 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Mike Lackey; Paul Ryan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical History: The Totem of Raptor the Renegade was constructed by the ancestors of the modern Keewazi to banish the creatures that originally stalked the land such as Raptor the Renegade.

During the hunt of all Spider-Totems in the Multiverse, the Inheritors intended to use the dagger to cut three spider-totems as part of a ritual, The Other, The Scion, and The Bride. Before Morlun could use the dagger on the totems, Spider-Man took it away from his hands, interrupting the ritual. After the Inheritors were defeated and the Master Weaver was killed, Superior Spider-Man took the dagger and used it to cut the Web to ensure his inevitable fate didn't come to pass. Araña stole the dagger from him and read the inscription on it, telling the rest of the Spider-Army that a totem was to replace the Master Weaver and tend to the Web for eternity.; The Totem Dagger fell into the hands of the Elder Goddess Shathra, who was intent on replacing the Great Web with her Great Nest. Shathra send her spider-wasps across the Multiverse that would bite Spider-Totems and transform them into Shathra's minions, however Spiders of the Prime Marvel Universe have proved immune. To deal with those, Shathra gave the Totem Dagger to Spider-Man Noir, one of first to join her Hive, to use against the Spiders of Earth-616. Noir used it to stab both Kaine and Jessica Drew, who were unwoven from reality entirely and started being forgotten by their friends. At some unknown point in time, it was used to erase Spider-Boy from existence as well.; Morlun wanted to retrieve the Totem Dagger and use it against Shathra herself, but by the time he came upon Noir, the latter no longer had it. Ghost-Spider, another one of Shathra's servants, had it and used it against Peter Parker of Earth-616 himself. Peter however was not erased entirely, but had his timeline rewritten so that he was never bitten by Radioactive Spider, but still worked as Silk's sidekick. Meanwhile, Morlun went to execute his plan after all, but the Dagger that only worked on Spider-Totems had no effect on Shathra herself. Desperate, Morlun tried to feed on Silk, who grabbed the Dagger and slashed him in self-defence. Instead of being unwoven, Morlun began leaking energy, so Silk used the Dagger to cut him open entirely. The life force of millions of Spider-Totems Morlun had consumed was released, restoring them to life as well as remaking the Great Web itself.; Peter Parker later used the Great Web-Shooter to banish Shathra to another plane of existence, and after all that her sister Neith, the first Spider-Totem and creator of the Great Web, revealed herself to her Spiders. Neith gave them a Spider-Idol of herself which could restore those erased by the Totem Dagger. Araña used the Idol to bring back Jessica Drew, Kaine and Spider-Boy, as well restore Peter Parker to the life in which he was the Amazing Spider-Man. ============================================================ Totem of Andrina Kind: item Page: Totem of Andrina Formal name: Totem of Andrina Type: Idol First appearance: Spider-Verse Unlimited Infinity Comic Vol 1 44 Created by: Stephanie Williams; Julian Shaw Reality: Earth-616; Earth-315 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Aña Corazón, American Museum of Natural History Version: Unique History: The Totem of Andrina was a mystical artifact purportedly from the fallen city of Andrina. On Earth-315 Gil and Sofía Corazón studied the energy signature of the Totem and were kidnapped by the Church of Andrina for their research. Their daughter Aña set out to rescue them and started by searching the word "Andrina" across realities. She found that Totem was displayed at the American Museum of Natural History on Earth-616 where she stole it from, meeting and befriending another version of herself from that reality in process. The girls went to rescue their parents together, but walked into a trap and were knocked-out with sleeping gas. Both girls were restrained and their Spider-Totem energies were used with the Totem to open the portal from which Krakinos, ruler of the fallen city of Andrina, came through. After waking up, the girls managed to break out and one of them took the Totem out of its protective case. The portal's polarity was reversed and it began sucking everything back in. Spider-Girls managed to push Krakinos back through the portal, after seeing which members of his Church decided to follow their master. After they went through the portal as well, the Totem was destroyed, closing the portal behind them. ============================================================ Transformers (Earth-TRN1046) (TRN-1046) Kind: item Page: Transformers (Earth-TRN1046) Formal name: Transformers Other aliases: Transformer Robots Type: Robot First appearance: X-Patrol (ES) Vol 5 67 Created by: Jan Reality: TRN-1046 Origin: Robot Material: Metal Weight: 300 tons Trivia: Surprisingly, the so-called Transformers and Transformer robots are never seen transforming into anything. History: Transformers are huge sentient robots, bigger than many buildings in cities and with enough strength to break those with their limbs. A number of these Transformers are prone to insanity, at which moment they become a threat, or a bigger threat, to innocents. Other Transformers can be befriended and dealt with using diplomacy. Transformers were sexed.; At one point in his career, el Capitán América fought a mad, 300-ton Transformer robot. To fight him, he ran quickly around the robot, who tried to grab el Capitán and instead broke himself in the central joint. El Capitán then finished the fight using his shield, in what el Capitán found to be a funny anecdote. Another superhero, Superioribus, instead befriended a huge transformer and regularly played chess with him in (or on) Barcelona; however, the sheer size of the robot was enough to scare off the Barcelonans when the Transformer reached the city looking for his playmate. ============================================================ Tormod Kind: item Page: Tormod Formal name: Tormod Other aliases: Ax of Thor; The End of all Mysteries; Tormod the keen edge; Tormod Riddle-Solver; Wise One Type: Axe First appearance: Thor Annual Vol 5 1 Created by: Al Ewing; Martin Coccolo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Thor Place of creation: Unknown planet Current owner: Thor Previous owners: Executioner Properties: Forged using the Asgardian steel of his helmet, Thor shaped and honed Tormod using Mjolnir. As Thor's creation, Tormod bore his magic, being capable of channeling his divine lightning and returning to his hand at his call. Its edge is sharp enough to shave Thor's bristles.; The axe could only be wielded by those who were wise. After Thor was rendered less wise by Dario Agger and the Enchantress, Tormod left him, and allowed the Executioner to use it. Trivia: Tormod is a Norwegian name derived from the Old Norse name Þórmóðr combining the name of Thor and the Old Norse words for mind or courage.; The Executioner stated that Thor should place an inscription on Tormod in the same manner as Mjolnir, being: "Whosoever holds this Ax, if they be wise, shall possess...". History: After the battle with Toranos, Thor was on the brink of the All-Sleep, he traveled to the Gray Area of the Moon were he encountered Loki who changed to their aspect of Teller of the Tales and sent him to sleep. After awaking in a unknown planet, Thor faced a riddle test set by Loki, he used his helmet to forge the head of Tormod, a tree branch as handle and river reeds as bindings. Thor used Tormod to cut down an oak to carve Raidho, the rune of journeys, using it to return to the Gray Area of the Moon.; When Thor confronted Roxxon CEO Dario Agger, the Enchantress used her magic over Thor's comic books to make the God of Thunder dumber than he was. This caused Thor to be unable to wield Tormod anymore, allowing the now-wiser Executioner to use it for himself, since he had foreseen in a dream that he who held Thor's weapons would inevitably die. The Executioner used Tormod to kill Dario in his Minotaur form before being retrieved by Thor, framing him for the murder. ============================================================ Tusk of Ratatoskr Kind: item Page: Tusk of Ratatoskr Formal name: Tusk of Ratatoskr Type: Spear First appearance: Avengers Academy: Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic Vol 1 13 Created by: Anthony Oliveira; Alba Glez Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian; Magic Place of creation: Yggdrasill Current owner: Bloodline Previous owners: Valkyries Model: Unique Properties: Magical Tracking: With the Eye of Bellos in its pommel, the Tusk of Ratatoskr can find anyone it has made bleed.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; In Earth-TRN1802, the Tusk of Ratatoskr was at the center of a conflict between Lady Loki, Avengers Academy, and Black Knight.; Avengers Academy: Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic Vol 1 60 History: As part of her makeover for the students of the Avengers Academy, Janet Van Dyne called in a favor from Rūna to arm Bloodline.

He invented a hand-sized time travel ring to travel back to the 21st Century to find a mutant girl named Rogue.; He used it primarily to jump either a couple of hours or days in either direction of time to escape a situation. One such time was when him and Rogue were on the run from Touch's family and their minions, since he had switched sides and chose to fight for Arcadia instead of against it. They were in a car dealership when three henchmen of Touch's father found them and began chasing them, using a special kind of small orb to destroy cars around them. Once Touch found a good getaway car and Rogue jumped in, he had them both hold onto the time travel ring and teleported them both a couple of hours into the future to avoid capture.; Touch did a similar thing days later when they were stuck in a cave near the Glen Canyon without a flashlight or a clear way out; and they couldn't use the ring since if they traveled too far back into the past, they could be stuck in the rock of the cave itself. When Touch's ex-wife and father showed up, Rogue and Touch began running out of the cave and just before Rogue could be captured, Touch used the ring again to get them out of there and teleport a day or so into the future.; Touch used it again when his father, King, appeared in front of them while they were having lunch as Outer Limits Space Age Restaurant in Gila Bend to try and again take Rogue back to the future, but Touch stopped him by using the ring and teleporting him and his dad away instead.; When Rogue was returned back to her time, she awoke with nothing but Touch's long leather coat which included various items of Touch's creation including the time travel ring. Rogue knew it was too dangerous to keep in the present, so she rented a boat and traveled to Lake Powell and threw the ring into a part of the lake where no one could find it and no tide could bring it back onto shore. ============================================================ Tritonium (Earth-928) Kind: item Page: Tritonium Formal name: Tritonium Other aliases: Moon Mercury Type: Material First appearance: Doom 2099 Vol 1 2 Created by: John Francis Moore; Pat Broderick Reality: Earth-928 Origin: Mineral mined from Saturn's Moons. Place of creation: Moons of Saturn History: A rare mineral mined from Saturn's moons. A small fragment has enough energy to wipe out a city block, though its most valuable characteristic is its regenerative energy energy properties. It is able to recover even after being destroyed. ============================================================ Unstable Molecules Kind: item Page: Unstable Molecules Formal name: Unstable Molecules Other aliases: UMF Type: Material First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 6 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Lead designer: Reed Richards Current owner: Characters with Unstable Molecule Costumes:; Fantastic Four; Mister Fantastic; Invisible Woman; Thing; Human Torch;Future Foundation; Spider-Man; Franklin Richards; Valeria Richards; Alex Power; Artie Maddicks; Bentley Whittman; Korr; Mik; Tong; Turg; Vii, Wuu;; X-Men; Storm; Power Pack; Julie Power; Jack Power; Katie Power;; Daredevil;; Spider-Man 2099;; Scarlet Spider; Striker Properties: Unstable Molecules are a configuration of unknown atomic nuclei and electrons, discovered or synthesized by Reed Richards, which is responsive to certain energized matter around it. Used in the making of clothing for the Fantastic Four and certain other superhuman beings, unstable molecular cloth mimics its wearer's physical properties. It can turn invisible like The Invisible Woman, stretch like Mister Fantastic and burst into flame without burning like the Human Torch. Clothing made from unstable molecules is fireproof regardless of whether the wearer uses fire powers.; They exist on the Angstrom edge between matter and energy and can interchange between either. These can be bonded to "Anchor" molecules and transfer any change in environment they experience to these anchor molecules. They will revert to normal when the environment does so.; The costumes made of third generation unstable molecules were designed with default patterns which could be modified by concentrating. For example, Spider-Man could change his costume's coloring and markings, allowing at-will modification of or switching between his Future and regular outfits.; The unstable molecules can also be altered to create an unhackable and indestructible data storage unit, such as the Omegadrive. Notes: The superhero community relies on Richards to clothe them. Giant-Size X-Men Vol 1 1 mentions him providing a costume on request to the Chris Claremont-era X-Men, many years after the team's debut in X-Men Vol 1 1. Trivia: Despite being invented by Reed Richards, Unstable Molecules did appear quite a lot in early Marvel comics, often as a quick science explanation. One of the earliest documented appearances outside the Fantastic Four is in Tales to Astonish Vol 1 35, published in September of 1962.; In What If? Vol 1 34 there is an alternate reality that explores the possibility of Reed Richards not inventing unstable molecules for the Fantastic Four Uniforms. This reality is designated as Earth-24883. History: A synthetic material created/discovered by the famous scientist Reed Richards, which can be altered easily and adapt to a certain environment, allowing them to be incredibly resilient to drastic changes in heat, cold, pressure, density, dirt, etc. making them ideal for use as superhero costumes. ============================================================ Ultimate Nullifier Kind: item Page: Ultimate Nullifier Formal name: Ultimate Nullifier Other aliases: Ultimate Wi-Fier Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 50 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Emnu Additional designers: Galactus Current owner: Silver Surfer Previous owners: Regent Victorious; Doctor Doom; Punisher; Titus Nova; Galactus; Wendell Vaughn; Reed Richards; Uatu the Watcher; Doop Properties: Fantastic Four Vol 3 46; The Ultimate Nullifier has been described as "the universe's most devastating weapon." As such, the Ultimate Nullifier has the ability to completely and utterly eliminate any target the wielder chooses (through violation of the law of conservation of mass), and—if the wielder's mind isn't powerful enough—the wielder themselves. Its effectiveness is heavily dependent upon the concentration, knowledge, and mindset of the wielder. Ordinarily, it has the power to at least destroy a universe. In the hands of a being with an extremely powerful intellect, such as Galactus, the Ultimate Nullifier can destroy entire timelines from beginning to end or instantly nullify (and paradoxically recreate) a Multiverse.; The Ultimate Nullifier is generally kept within Galactus' Worldship, Taa II, though at times Galactus has been known to carry it aboard his spherical starship. In the rare instances that the Nullifier gets stolen or kept in other locales, such as the Fantastic Four's headquarters, the Nullifier inevitably returns to Galactus' possession, usually with no explanation. The reason behind this inconsistency may have been revealed in the Abraxas saga. In it, Galactus demonstrates his ability to effortlessly recall the Nullifier to himself at will, even from the grasp of Abraxas himself, the Multiversal embodiment of destruction. Notes: There may in fact be two Ultimate Nullifiers in existence as the one held by Titus is remarked as having been assembled in accordance with the information deciphered from a Rigellian Recorder and is referred to as an Ultimate Nullifier instead of the Ultimate Nullifier.; Before it was retconned to Watcher technology, the Ultimate Nullifier was previously thought to be an aspect of Galactus. Trivia: The guns belonging to the teenager known as the Ultimate Nullifier resembled the Ultimate Nullifier. However, beyond his weapons appearance and his superhero title, he apparently had no connection to the Ultimate Nullifier, apart from just fashioning himself after the weapon.; In Earth-42743, the Celestials have a machine that Doctor Doom describes as the Ultimate Nullifier's "monstrous mother." History: The Ultimate Nullifier was created by the Watcher Emnu when the Prosilicans began to invade other planets using technology given to them by the Watchers. Upon its firing, it destroyed both the Prosilican Empire and nine tenths of the entire universe, which were later known as the Barrens.; Johnny Storm retrieved the Ultimate Nullifier from Taa II, the home of Galactus -- as directed by Uatu the Watcher -- for the Fantastic Four to employ against the threat of Galactus himself. The Nullifier appeared as a small, hand-held metallic device with no apparent functionality. It was the only known weapon in the universe capable of inspiring outright fear in Galactus.; Reed Richards threatened the use of the Ultimate Nullifier as a last ditch effort to stop Galactus from destroying Earth. Faced with the prospect of dying by Richards' activation of the Nullifier, Galactus withdrew.; The Nullifier later appeared during the Infinity War. Quasar tried to use it in an attempt to destroy the Magus, who had acquired the collective power of five cosmic cubes and a gauntlet containing 5 of the 6 Infinity Gems. The Reality Gem was replaced in this instance with a duplicate created by Thanos. Although Quasar tried to use the weapon on Magus, he failed to fire it and was nullified in the process.; An Ultimate Nullifier was seen in Doop's possession. It is unknown how he acquired it or if it was a true or a replica.; During the early days of Sam Alexander's journey as the newest member of the Nova Corps, Titus, an old Supernova, former ally of Sam's father Jesse Alexander and, more recently, leader of the Chitauri, had a plan for this device of mass destruction. Sam Alexander took the Ultimate Nullifier from Titus and accidentally hit him with it while they struggled for the weapon, presumably killing him. Sam then took the Ultimate Nullifier. He returned it to Uatu because he thought he was the only one to ever believe in him and he somehow knew that this belonged to him.; When the abstract entity named the Griever at the End of All Things returned and confronted the Fantastic Four, Mister Fantastic tasked the Silver Surfer with retrieving the Ultimate Nullifier, which had returned to Taa II, as a last resort. After Silver Surfer arrived on Earth and failed to take down the Griever, he unveiled the weapon and gave it to Franklin Richards since his intrinsic knowledge on the fabric of the universe made him the only person capable of using the weapon against her. The weapon was unused since Mister Fantastic found out a different way to rid of the Griever involving the Forever Gate. ============================================================ Unicorn's Power Horn Kind: item Page: Unicorn's Power Horn Formal name: Unicorn's Power Horn Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 56 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Unicorn Additional designers: Crimson Dynamo Place of creation: Russia Current owner: Unicorn History: The Power Horn can destroy any obstacle and raise objects magnetically, regardless of their weight, making the Unicorn the world's greatest fighting machine. Possibly, its greatest power is to throw a radiating energy shield around its bearer, strong enough to protect him from the explosive force of a thousand tons of T.N.T.; Once exposed to the Hyper-Activator, the Unicorn terrorized the attendants of a scientific congress in Europe with his new powers, in order to get his hands on a cure for the negative side effects of the treatment, until Iron Man crushed his power-belt and tossed it in the nearby river, making the deranged Unicorn dive after it.; Luring the Unicorn to his lab, the Red Ghost then fixed his equipment and restored his powers.; After the Red Ghost detonated his lab, the Unicorn charged his horn thanks to Iron Man's armor and managed to escape from the ruined ghost town, teaming up with the golden avenger to follow the Red Ghost and defeat him in Africa. ============================================================ Uru Kind: item Page: Uru Formal name: Uru Other aliases: Metal of the Gods Type: Material First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 83 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Asgardian Place of creation: Nidavellir Material: Metal Properties: Uru is highly durable and retains enchantments very well. The appearance of Uru metal ore is in two forms, one as "metallic gold", Gungnir and Stormbreaker, and the other as having a luster that; has been described as "badly wrought iron", Mjolnir. When Uru is enchanted, it becomes much more durable.; Its ductility is unknown. Uru is very resistant to damage; but there is no; known instance of Uru being drawn; into wire. But one thing that; is; known is that; the more magic there is, the stronger it will be.; Uru is non-sparking and is a highly immalleable metal, often requiring extreme methods to forge it; for example, the heart of a star or an enchanted forge. But is very difficult to forge, objects and weapons that; are comprised of Uru; especially enchanted ones, are resilient to most other forms of damage.; Note: It's physical characteristics are difficult to measure, as most; known samples are also heavily magically enchanted, obfuscating observed physical properties. Mjolnir was witnessed to handle enormous amounts of physical impact; under extreme temperatures; without deformation at all, e.g. shattering meteors in the cold of space, well Uroc's hand was shattered; by subjecting it to liquid nitrogen and then shot; by a bullet.; The main property of Uru, as discovered by Tony Stark, is it's natural affinity to magic. Uru is not only easy to enchant; but also absorbs magic like a sponge, redirecting it and enhancing the natural attributes of it's wielder. An Iron Man Armor that was fueled by Uru was able to channel a full blast of lightning from Mjolnir and the odinforce into a blast from its Unibeam.; The symbiotic relationship between Uru and its wielder works both ways: a mystical user, such as Thor, can lend to the Uru in his weapon his own strength, in the process making the metal stronger and more resilient.; ==Applications==; Due to its durability and ability to hold enchantments, it is often forged into the finest weapons for the warriors of Asgard.; Uru is used as the key component in several characters' equipment, including;; Thor's hammer, Mjolnir; Hogun's mace Hridgandr; Odin's spear, Gungnir, his scepter Thrudstok and other regalia like Draupnir; Geirrodur's spear Tordenstok; The Destroyer (Enchanted Armor); Golem body of Uroc the Rock Troll; Beta Ray Bill's weapon, Stormbreaker; The enchanted mace, Thunderstrike; Mjolnir fragment which mystically changed Inferno; Weaponry and munitions fashioned by Microchip; Red Norvell's War-Hammer; Dooms iteration of The Destroyer; Torunn's Sword; Phone casing of formerly MODOK's call device; Doctor Doom's cosmic cube adorned armor; Vidar's staff; Rhinegold; Uru zirconia action figures owned by; Hofund, Heimdall's sword; Philip Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. pattented Destroyer Armor Prototype Gun; The Thorbuster suit, developed by Stark on the design of an Uru-powered reactor; Bullets used by Black Widow; Captain America's Shield, reconstructed after its destruction by the Serpent; A few iterations of Ultron's bionic chassis; Ali Blair of the Thor Corps's hammer Lightbringer; Throgs enchanted hammer Frogjolnir; Prison world that once held Terrax the Tamer; Thor's Black Uru prosthetic left arm; Sviksemi; Thor's battle axe Jarnbjorn; Odin's Odinsword; Tyrus the Terribl's Orb of Orikal; The various weapons and equipment of The Mighty; Shivs palmed from Elsa Bloodstone by The Punisher; Rune Moons; Jane's Undrjarn the All-Weapon; On Warp World, cells in form of bubbles made of Transparent Uru; All-Blood, a bident made out of Uru and Living Abyss; A Roxxon brand Thor-Truck and Mjolnir Premium; Armor ensorcelled by White Bishop; Uru is also used in the bits and scoops of the trolls of Asgard, thereby enabling them to dig holes into other dimensions.; ==Occurrence and production==; Uru is unique to the Asgard dimension. Uru is one of the most prized exports of the dwarven miners of Asgard.; ==Precautions==; Applying a permanent enchantment to Uru is very hazardous and should only be attempted; by an entity; with god-like powers. Even; if able to store and harness vast quantities of energy, mystical in nature or not, Gungnir once stored the life-force of Preston Chase, a human trapped in the armored form of the Destroyer, Uru becomes unstable as the core of a fission central. Notes: On Earth-21798, seemingly Uru exist in Utopia Isle, known as Utopian Uru. Trivia: According to Thor, "Uru has quite a bitter metallic aftertaste." History: Uru is a metal ore from the first moon in existence, and has existed since the beginning of the universe, being said to be rubble from the rock of creation and the strongest substance in all the realms. It is purportedly unique to Nidavellir, one of the Ten Realms of Yggdrasill, having arrived there untold eons ago on a meteorite. It resembles stone, but it also appears to have metallic properties. It seems able to store most energies, particularly magic. ============================================================ Ultra-Diode Ray (Earth-6311) Kind: item Page: Ultra-Diode Ray Formal name: Ultra-Diode Ray Type: Technology; Energy Weapon First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 19 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-6311 Lead designer: Rama-Tut Current owner: Rama-Tut; Kang Properties: On high-power the Ultra-Diode Ray was capable of sapping its target's strength and powers, causing unconsciousness. Its lower power setting could sap its target's will-power, placing them under the user's mental control. Another blast at low power could reverse this effect. History: After Rama-Tut used his Ultra-Diode Ray to sap the wills of the Fantastic Four, the three male members were put into slavery while Susan Storm was forced to become Rama-Tut's bride. ============================================================ Universal Weapon Kind: item Page: Universal Weapon Formal name: Universal Weapon Other aliases: Cosmi-Rod Type: Hammer First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 65 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Kree Lead designer: Presumably Kree Empire; ----; Janet Stein Place of creation: Presumably somewhere in the Kree Empire; ----; Earth;; ----Third planet, Kygnari System, Negative Zone Current owner: Accuser Lauri-Ell; other Public Accusers; Ronan Previous owners: Tanalth; Captain Marvel; Shatterax (Roco-Bai); Janet Stein; Super-Skrull Properties: Laws of Physics Manipulation: The Universal Weapon allows its user to shape universal laws according to their will. Once lifted by a new accuser it will act of it's own accord and rearrange nearby matter and clothe them in accuser regalia, being able to be wielded only by them from that point onward. It is a tool of tremendous power that has dominion over matter as well as energy and rivals wielders of the Power Cosmic in this regard. However, it can still be used as a blunt instrument if need be. Its make-up is durable enough to resist the Silver Surfer's assault without signs of wear.; Matter Manipulation: The Universal Weapon can manipulate matter on a molecular scale. One of the easiest feats it can do is rearrange the clothes of it's wielder and turn them into other forms such as Kree accuser armor. It can simulate telekinesis in this manner to suspend and move dozens of tiny objects under Ronan's will. The effect is powerful enough to negate the effects of hostile space warping.; Teleportation: Lauri-Ell was able to teleport with the weapon inside Captain Marvel's secret compound. Though it is uncertain whether this was achieved through the use of the Weapon or other Kree technology.; Energy Manipulation: The Universal Weapon can manipulate energy and thus far has not encountered a signature that it could not affect. An offensive application of this is that the user can project force from their body at various intensities. Defensively, it was able to siphon all of the Human Torch's power and turn him human. It can also provide propulsion for itss wielder in the vacuum of space. Notably, Ronan was able to join its power with that of the Silver Surfer to merge two stars together.; Force Field Projection: It can create impenetrable fields of force around an area.; Invisibility: By bending photons around its wielder it was able to render them invisible to the population of Earth, similarily to the power of Invisible Woman.; Time Manipulation: Under Ronan's ownership it was capable of bending the very laws of physics to manipulate time itself. It projected a sphere of accelerated time that rapidly aged Susan Storm into bone and dust.; Retrocognitive Viewing: The Universal Weapon was able to create a window into the past while Captain Marvel was looking for clues about a possible crime her sister had commited.; Gravity Manipulation: The Universal Weapon was capable of increasing gravity around the Thing to such a degree that he could not move and began to feel crushed. History: The Universal Weapon is capable of various effects such as energy blasts, force fields, flight, and changing the structure of matter. It is made of an extremely hard material. A fail-safe measure shocks unauthorized users.; Universal Weapons were used by Public Accusers to enforce Kree Law.; Reed Richards stated that the best Universal Weapon design he ever discovered was on the third planet of the Kygnari System, in the Negative Zone.; Janet Stein built her own Universal Weapon, which was designed with a flaw; a common error in engineering that allowed "a non-user to interfere with its logic tree..." (Reed Richards used that flaw against the Steins, but his explanation was cut by a fed-up Janet).; After the Kree Accusers' demise at the hands of Black Bolt, the weapon would fall into obscurity until it was bestowed upon Captain Marvel at the behest of Alliance leader Emperor Hulkling during the Empyre war. Even going so far as to make a earthborn Accuser Corps to aid in the conflict, in the midst of said battle, reaching into its aftermath. She rescinded the weapon later, giving it to her half-sister Lauri-Ell. ============================================================ Ultimate Machine Kind: item Page: Ultimate Machine Formal name: Ultimate Machine Other aliases: Globe of Ultimate Knowledge; Encyclopedia Galactica; Advisor Type: Technology First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 73 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Uatu Previous owners: Leader; Hulk Model: Unique History: Many years ago, the criminal mastermind known as the Leader manipulated the Hulk into undertaking a mission to find the Ultimate Machine. Using the technology at his disposal, he converted the Hulk's physical body into waves of pure thought and transmitted him to Planet T-37X. Communicating via telepathy, the Leader instructed the Hulk to find the Ultimate Machine and bring it back to Earth. The Hulk encountered Uatu the Watcher, but due to a pledge of non-interference, the Watcher allowed the Hulk to take the device.; Returning to Earth, he gave it to the Leader, who declared that such a device would make him the absolute master of time and space. The Leader placed the device over his head like a helmet, and a billion sensations poured into his brain. Even for such a highly advanced intellect, the Leader's brain was incapable of processing the sum total of all universal knowledge and he fell over dead, though he would later be revived with the aid of one of his Humanoids.; The Hulk took the device and attempted to use it on himself. Despite the immense pain, the Hulk was able to momentarily withstand the Machine's effects, and through it, he learned that his friend, Rick Jones, was in trouble. Discarding the device, the Hulk bounded off to help him. Moments later, the Watcher arrived on Earth to collect the device and brought it back to its original resting place.; Doom would later steal this item, along with multiple others which allowed him to use it safely, but it was returned by Mister Fantastic after his latest scheme was foiled. However it unaccountably appeared in the Leader's Italy base where it was pursued by The Authority, only to be stopped by Spider-Man.; Sometime later, Ben Grimm found himself in the Blue Area of the Moon with Bobbie Spector, a nascent Watcher, who found a device extremely similar to the Ultimate Machine which was called an "Advisor". Likely a similar device under a different name, it proved far less debilitating or lethal than other times.; During the Reckoning War, Mister Fantastic downloaded the information from the Ultimate Machine into his brain. This knowledge slowly began to kill him. ============================================================ Ultra-Dynamo Armor Kind: item Page: Ultra-Dynamo Armor Formal name: Ultra-Dynamo Other aliases: Crimson Dynamo Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Hulk: Winter Guard Vol 1 1 Created by: David Gallaher; Steve Ellis Reality: Earth-616 Origin: New Dynamo design incorporating alien technology Current owner: Galina Nemirovsky Properties: Superhuman Durability: The armor afforded greater durability than previous models.; Energy Projection: The armor can project electric blasts which are presumably powered by a new iteration of Vanko generators. This armor was considered superior than others when it came to firepower.; Sensors: The Ultra-Dynamo Armor had a better targeting array than previous models.; Dire Wraith Detector History: This version of the Dynamo seems to have traditional features of the normal Dynamo armors, albeit enhanced in both firepower and durability. It also incorporates technology from the Dire Wraiths. Its sensor array is particularly advanced. ============================================================ Unbinding Stone of Oshemar Kind: item Page: Unbinding Stone of Oshemar Formal name: Unbinding Stone of Oshemar Type: Stone First appearance: Thor: The Deviants Saga Vol 1 1 Created by: Robert Rodi; Stephen Segovia Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Caldaran Lead designer: Oshemar Place of creation: Caldaran Dominions Place of destruction: Lemuria Current owner: Ereshkigal Previous owners: Oshemar; Odin Model: 1 Version: 1 History: Created by Oshemar as an ultimate weapon to help his people, the Caldarans, defeat their enemy, the Sextus Hive. While it fulfilled its initial purpose, it quickly grew too powerful, destroying everything in Oshemar's dimension before he could open a portal to a neighboring dimension, arriving in Asgard. The shunt between dimensions somehow forced the Stone to deactivate. Though Oshemar vowed to not sleep until he found a way to destroy the Stone, he quickly perished as a result of fighting the Stone's power and traveling between dimensions. Though Odin initially thought to use it, his son's insistence that it be destroyed led to the compromise of it being put in storage. Following Asgard's relocation to Oklahoma and its destruction during Osborn's Siege, the throne room (like much of Asgard) was left in ruins. Eventually the Deviant Ereshkigal, scavenging the ruins, came upon the Stone. Though briefly opposed by Thor, she managed to escape with it, hoping it would give her the power she had sought since the removal of the Star Brand. Unable to activate it herself, she showed it to Kro, who was able to deduce the method. It began to destroy Lemuria, but Thor destroyed it with Antarctic Vibranium. ============================================================ Uranus II Rocket Kind: item Page: Uranus II Rocket Formal name: Uranus II Type: Weapon First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 60 Created by: Stan Lee; Don Heck Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Enterprises Main Plant, Flushing, Queens, New York City, New York Current owner: Tony Stark History: The Uranus II represented years of painstaking research and labor for Stark Industries.; When Hawkeye raided Stark Industries and was confronted by Iron Man, he fired a power blast arrow at the link chains which held the rocket in order to keep Iron Man busy. The Golden Avenger managed to cradle it without a tremor. ============================================================ Unstable Freon Bomb Kind: item Page: Unstable Freon Bomb Formal name: Unstable Freon Bomb Type: Grenade First appearance: Tales of Suspense Vol 1 82 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Anthony Stark Current owner: Iron Man History: This vial was saved by Iron Man for emergency use and incorporated into his Iron Man Armor MK IV: once hit, it would freeze and solidify almost instantly. It was used in Washington, D.C. against Titanium Man, but he managed to shatter the ice shield which had formed about him.; Later, Iron Man used it again in Central Park against the animated statue of Fangor. The monster froze in the following moments and Iron Man took his chance to ram it and destroy it. ============================================================ Ultimo (Telepresence Armor) Kind: item Page: Ultimo (Telepresence Armor) Formal name: Ultimo Other aliases: Ultimo Drone Type: Armor First appearance: New Avengers Vol 2 17 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Mike Deodato; Will Conrad Reality: Earth-616 Origin: A remotely controlled version of Ultimo Lead designer: A.I.M. Additional designers: H.A.M.M.E.R. Place of creation: A.I.M. laboratories Place of destruction: Aegean Sea Previous owners: Iron Man Model: 1 Version: 2 Notes: Reassembled in a populated area in Greece, Ultimo was deemed a Level Five Emergency by Blue Marvel, stating that "people [would] die unless" he went to stop it. History: Based on Iron Man's enemy Ultimo, this remotely controlled battle suit created by A.I.M. was used by Norman Osborn to try and capture Iron Man so he could take his armor off. When the New Avengers arrived, they fought the android. Osborn ordered to self destruct Ultimo after a smaller robot detached from it to take a blood sample of Wolverine.; The armor was rebuilt and faced Iron Man in San Francisco, where it was again defeated. It was later reconfigured and let loose in Greece by an morally-inverted "Superior" Iron Man to keep Blue Marvel busy while he and his group of as well inverted Avengers dealt with the other Mighty Avengers. It was shattered to pieces by Blue Marvel in the Aegean Sea. ============================================================ Ultra Scanner Kind: item Page: Ultra Scanner Formal name: Ultra Scanner Type: Technology First appearance: Iron Man Vol 1 15 Created by: Archie Goodwin; George Tuska Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Red Ghost Place of creation: New York City, New York Current owner: Red Ghost History: The Ultra Scanner was employed by the Red Ghost to identify the Cosmic Ray Intensifier aboard Anthony Stark's jet. ============================================================ Uni-Disintegrator Kind: item Page: Uni-Disintegrator Formal name: Uni-Disintegrator Other aliases: Weapon-U Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Incredible Hulk Vol 1 107 Created by: Gary Friedrich; Herb Trimpe Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Yuri Brevlov History: Colonel Brevlov intended to use this non-conventional weapon against the Hulk, but the firing countdown was halted as his ship went under attack from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. ============================================================ Uni-Lens Battle Armor Kind: item Page: Uni-Lens Battle Armor Formal name: Uni-Lens Battle Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 134 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Ron Frenz Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D.

Doom recruited the alien Tyros the Terrible, who had been Galactus' Herald until he lost his powers, as his superpowered minion - Tyros was strong to hold the Power and naïve enough to be manipulated by Doom. Doom convinced Tyros to don a special garment named Techno-Suit, required for him to properly channel and control the energies, before submitting himself to the machien.; This was not the whole truth. Doom knew that the Power Cosmic would destroy Tyros's body quickly, and the Techno-Suit slowed the process, giving Tyros a handful of hours of life. This was enough for Doom purpose - Doom sent Tyros to New York City to destroy their shared enemies the Fantastic Four. Doom gave Tyros a Sky-Sled for him to reach America quickly enough. Once there, Tyros confronted The Thing of the Fantastic Four. The Thing quickly destroyed Tyros's sled and the upper half of the Techno-Suit. The fight was joined by other members of the Fantastic Four, by Doom himself and by the Silver Surfer. While Tyros was wrestling the Surfer, his body reaching the point of no return and critical mass, and carbonized himself, along with the remnants of his suit. ============================================================ Underwater Spy Kind: item Page: Underwater Spy Formal name: Underwater Spy Type: Technology First appearance: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol 1 1 Created by: Tony Isabella; George Tuska; Bill Everett Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Probably Castle Doom; Latveria Place of destruction: Hydrobase Previous owners: Doctor Doom History: This reconnaisance device was developed by Doctor Doom for purposes of underwater espionage. It looked like a common fish, to the point of it being able to fool the Sub-Mariner's sensorial powers, but it included cameras and microphones to stream video and sound directly to Doom's monitors at Castle Doom. It could be launched through air using a rocket-like system, and it would follow specific targets underwater.; At one point, when the Sub-Mariner rejected Doom's alliance proposal and escaped to the sea, Doom sent the Spy after the Sub-Mariner. It was Doom's purpose to wait until the Sub-Mariner would be in trouble, and then use the oportunity to help him. The Sub-Mariner went to the Hydrobase research, where some of his human friends had been captured by several enemies of him; Namor himself was captured by his enemies, with Doom monitoring the events from the Underwater Spy. One of the enemies, Tiger Shark, discovered the Spy, clearly seeing that it was not a fish. Shark smashed it in his hand but, while he and his cronies understood it was a security device, they were unable to discover it belonged to Doom. ============================================================ Ulvar Kind: item Page: Ulvar Formal name: Ulvar Type: Robot First appearance: Journey Into Mystery Vol 1 63 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Dimensions: 1.000 feet Weight: 48.000 tons Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: Ulvar was significantly smaller upon returning in Monsters Unleashed, his height was closer to that of the 30-foot range that many giant monsters had. Trivia: Although in its first appearance it was a mannequin, Ulvar seemed to have some semblance of autonomy as part of the Leviathon/Goliathon invasion. History: Ulvar was built as a gigantic prop to scare off Gigantus, an advance agent of an Atlantean invasion, by an advertising man. It succeeded in having Gigantus cancel his invasion and was cast into the ocean. Ulvar was later dismantled afterwards.; Ulvar later appeared, alongside other Goliathons, outside San Diego as part of the Leviathon/Goliathon invasion.; This is expanded upon in Anatomy of the Monstrous, which included an entry of Ulver and depicts that his anatomy contained a nuclear reactor and a control room, among several other features, that indicated it was an active machine. ============================================================ Ultra Samurai Seed (Earth-63163) Kind: item Page: Ultra Samurai Seed Formal name: Ultra Samurai Seed Type: Weapon First appearance: Nextwave Vol 1 3 Created by: Warren Ellis; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-63163 Lead designer: Beyond Corporation Place of creation: Sink City, Illinois Previous owners: Officer Mac Mangel; Beyond Corporation Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Ultra Samurai Seed was a project by the Beyond Corporation. It was released in Sink City, Illinois and infected corrupt police officer Mac Mangel, granting him the ability to consume metal and become a giant robot warrior. Mac's giant robot armor was blown up by the Nextwave Squad's Tabby Smith, revealing a weakened Mac Mangel. The Seed emerged from his body and was exploded by Tabby, destroying it. ============================================================ Ultimo Virus Kind: item Page: Ultimo Virus Formal name: Ultimo Virus Type: Virus First appearance: Dark Reign: New Nation Vol 1 1 Created by: Greg Pak; Leonardo Manco Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Ultimo-derived T-O Virus Lead designer: H.A.M.M.E.R. Additional designers: Doctor Prometheus Current owner: Suzanne Endo; Ultimo Previous owners: War Machine; Norman Osborn; H.A.M.M.E.R.; Davis Harmon; Eaglestar; Anton Aubuisson; Roxxon Oil Company; Countless individuals contaminated with the Ultimo Virus. Notes: The Ultimo Virus is a "Class X Pathogen" with a 90.43% infection rate.; In two weeks time, the Mind of the Ultimo Virus could infect the entire world. History: A weaponized form of picoatomic micro robotics created from the separated remains of a deadly alien robot. Designed from what remains of its Neural Net, Emotional Core and Memory Banks then bartered and sold to shady individual private concerns for R&D purposes across the globe. All of which was spearheaded under Norman Osborn's criminal reform based organization of H.A.M.M.E.R.. Initially being employed as an experimental phase which combined the alien technologies of the deadly automaton with Sakaaran slaver technologies left over from World War Hulk. A trial run of which was conducted by an employee of Roxxon with a sordid record of war crimes behind his back, utilizing polar bears modified by the virus in a negotiation tactic with a local tribe of Anunquit in the Arctic Circle.; Aubuisson was intercepted by the then cybernized War Machine after he used the Ultimo infected ursine to slaughter the settlers before they turned on the legal merc. when Rhodey destroyed his Control Staff. It would be found out later that the virus wound up in the hands of the corrupt paramilitary contractor; Eaglestar, whose former C.E.O had been test driving the virus's effects on several hundred people in order to produce the perfect controlled super soldier inheriting the capabilities of said artificial afflictions namesake.; One of those affected was Glenda Sandoval who volunteered as one of their relief workers, James was able to save her and dozens of other infected by absorbing the virus into himself with his technoforming abilities. When it was discovered that the H.A.M.M.A.R Organization staff were behind the production and distribution of the Ultimo T.O Infection. Rhodes began attacking many of their privately owned military facilities and shareholding company affiliates in order to squash this bug for good. Only for former C.E.O of Stark Solutions; Morgan Stark to ingest it's nervous system, releasing a now liquid metal Ultimo in which it attempted to reassembled its missing components from around the world via wireless remote call.; Luckily the resulting pandemic caused by Morgan which threatened to turn the entire planets ecosystem into an Ultimo Virus themed death trap was stalled by the combined efforts War Machine and Iron Patriot. When the two showed the destructive Neural Network Mind the few good things about humankind to erase all the horrors recorded onto it from James' own Memory Banks and Emotional Core. Reducing the Newly recreated Ultimo to a infantile blank slate, leaving it in the care of Cybermancer.; ===Effects===; Ultimo Virus is a highly contagious nanoactive substance which can convert just about anything and everything; be it plant, animal, fungus or bacterium, into an extension of the murderous android it was designed after. Once it infects a sapient creature they begin to to immediately take on traits of the murder machine. Such as Superhuman Strength, Speed, Durability, Laser Vision and even gaining a Healing Factor that enables an individual to recover from fatal injuries. By it's lonesome the virulent in liquid form can disperse itself in explosive bursts to reach out and infect other abstracts with ease.; In other mammalian bodies it has the effect of total biomolecular refitting and modification. When used on the local wildlife in Antarctica, it was tailored to alternate their very physiological make up to increase their deadliness and ferocity indicating a transmutational element to it's design. E.G. exoskeletal enhancement gene therapy on top of Secondary Adamantium Claws and Fangs.; The infection is so complete that not even the divine cannot resist it's spread. Given how thoroughly Ultimo had taken over the Grecian war god Ares in its initial outbreak sending him among a host of other infected on a rampage. The primary functional power of the Ultimo Virus is broken down into three of the original machines basic components being its CNS, Heart and Brain. Possessing unique attributes beyond infestation as they carry the broad back of it's true power and the application of which, It's Memory Banks withholding the machines mind and intellect while the Emotional Core represents it's Killer Instinct and creativity in execution.; While it's Neural Net has been reduced to a shifting metallic fluid substance that can grow larger and stronger by absorbing metal around it into itself as it's proginator did with energy, converting it into extra physical mass for it and it's handler to grow and thrive upon. Being the core of Ultimo's mind, the Net portion of the Virus also has the ability to remotely tap into other parts of its being for self-reassembly.; Through this mechanical interface, Ultimo can even assimilate with biological matter just as easily as inorganic elements; threatening to turn the entire planets flora, silica, infrastructure and architecture into a garden of metallic brambles that would cut off the oxygen supply to the planet and retroactively kill off all of its native inhabitants via food shortage and death tolls. Particular virus carriers hosting this strain can regrow their bodies from whatever surroundings infected by the contagion have been converted into it's alien metals. More creatively, The Neural Net strain can also wirelessly interact with and assimilate digital/mechanical applications incorporating them into itself for increased power output and extended reach. Similarly to Tony Stark's interaction with the Extremis virus or with Cyborg War Machine's Technoforming abilities. ============================================================ Uni-Band Kind: item Page: Uni-Band Formal name: Uni-Band Other aliases: Universal Beam Blaster; Uni-Beam Wrist Blaster Type: Technology First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol 1 12 Created by: Stan Lee; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Kree Current owner: Imperial Kree Army Previous owners: Captain Mar-Vell, Wastrel Alternate owners: Pluskommander Geheneris Halason Mahr Vehl Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The weapon is a marvel of extraterrestrial machination capable of blasting objects into nothingness via disintegration bursts, and again reconstructing them near-perfectly using lorentz-force energy fields.

Lead designer: Ultron Current owner: Ultron Pym Properties: The Ultron Virus infection is varied far and in-between on different subjects from across the stars. What is known about it is that everyone who contracts it is slowly, agonizingly converted into an extension of the collective consciousness becoming another hard-copy of his own nihilistic persona once infected. Turning each and every individual who contracts the Ultron Virus into another iteration of the Ultron hive intelligence. This process also has the effect of steadily robotizing the individuals infected, transforming them into near fully mechanical cybernetic zombies, their minds and personalities completely overwritten by the mad machine's A.I. Those who come under infection of Ultron will most instantly go on a murderous rampage, killing and converting anyone untouched by the Virus Plague.; The epidemic can spread in two ways, most notably through direct physical contact with a infected being either through skin contact or bites and scratches from a carrier. Ultron himself infected Deadpool through a mechamorphed razor barb which quickly began it's spread, despite his impressive healing factor. The other is a form of airborne microbe containing near subatomic micro-tech carrying Ultron's consciousness through habitable atmospheres and even through the cold vacuum of space.; Its spread is so absolutely contagious that even the godlike Eternals can fall prey to exposure in minutes which is what enabled its creator to quickly overtake all of Titan in a single stroke, but there are some accounts of the Virus being resisted by infected designates thanks to gaining a form of psionic ability gifted onto them through the Ultron Virus. The afflicted also take on limited technoforming capabilities similar to Ultron himself, able to morph limbs and body parts into razor claws and other lethal melee devices and can potentially recover from lethal injury though it. They can even survive decapitation if not properly destroyed.; All infected who carry the virus are connected with Hank Pym/Ultron whom currently remains on Earth, through himself and each other lies an extra-linked hive mind in which all are slaved to the programmed will of the virus source. Whatever is seen by the drones will be seen by them all, this also works like a multi-wave communications monitoring grid that enables them to see and hear as well as broadcast viable information to all hosts connected to the Ultron collective. History: During the cataclysmic event of Ultron's rise to ultimate power, the A.I. from the far future eventually learned how to project his virulent coding through any piece of technology he focused on. Running the risk of converting those whose bodies sport some kind of technological grafts into another of his Ultron Drones. ============================================================ Ultra-Spectrum Laser Kind: item Page: Ultra-Spectrum Laser Formal name: Ultra-Spectrum Laser Type: Energy Weapon First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 165 Created by: Jim Lawrence; Dan Adkins Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Yandroth Place of creation: Yann Current owner: Yandroth History: The Ultra-Spectrum Laser was a weapon built by Yandroth and set up in his base below the surface of the planet Yann.

Lead designer: Professor Paul Harker Previous owners: Professor Paul Harker; Nebula History: An ingenious design by an intrepid but largely unknown physicist named Professor Paul Harker, which can fuel the world for centuries, while experimenting in his basement lab it ended up malfunctioning. Blowing up his house while he emerged relatively unscathed.; Afterwards he would next relocate and take housing in an affordable appt. complex with his pet cat Puss before presenting his invention to the national tech corporation of PolyDyne Industries. Two of its company frontmen; Gillian & Smythe where ecstatic about endorsing his invention. While making it back to his new home he'd encounter the notorious space pirate Nebula who opted to bequeath her services to completing Harker's science project in exchange for a favor afterwards.; Initial tests went underway relatively as expected, but merely powering up the device caused the whole universe to blink out of existence for a brief moment. This both excited and horrified a great many people whom this piece of equipment effected. Upon its final activation and gradual power-up sequence. Nebula was bitterly dismayed at the end results of her efforts.; For the final initiation of the device ended up creating a second universe begotten of the subatomic explosion said Compressor generated. Annihilating both and killing almost everyone in the PolyDyne facility they were booting it up in and eradicating most everything in the known universe while it was building up energy.; ==Function==; The compressor works by discharging a megaton yield nuclear disruption at the core of an atom's nucleus to generate infinite, clean dynamic force that can feed a resource starved world for generations to come. Pauls initial schematics & projections were so impressive that Dr. Smythe commented it'd make the idea of cold fusion as redundant as the creation of the first wheel.; But even at its lowest percentage output, the hazardous drawback of using the device resulted in the total eradication of the known cosmos if ever used to full capacity. Given the inimitably dangerous effect of triggering such a minuscule detonation would initiate a 'Genesis Pulse', equivocating a second big bang that creates a new universe within the old, thus causing the two's obliteration upon their collision in the aftermath of its activation. ============================================================ UltNet App (Earth-6160) Kind: item Page: UltNet App Formal name: Ultimates Network Other aliases: UltNet Type: Technology; Mobile App First appearance: Ultimates Vol 3 13 Created by: Deniz Camp; Juan Frigeri Reality: Earth-6160 Origin: Ghost mobile application manufactured by Iron Lad to counter Council-controlled information channels Lead designer: Iron Lad Place of creation: Triskelion Trivia: After its release, the application was the most downloaded for seven weeks straight.

Trivia: The Inhumans have their own word for Vibranium.; In the novelization of Iron Man 2, the New Element created by Tony Stark to replace Palladium in the arc reactor is called Vibranium. This information would later be invalidated by Captain America: The First Avenger, where Vibranium is shown as a rare metal already existing in the 1940s.; Captain America's Vibranium shield was once imperfectly reassembled on a molecular level - a molecular imperfection that led to the development of a unique form of elemental cancer. This "Vibranium Cancer", so named by Tony Stark, thus led to the shattering of Captain America's shield. His shield's atomic composition would be "healed" and restored via a sonic blast from Ulysses Klaw.; T'Challa speculates that Vibranium originated from one of the past multiversal renewals.; In Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War Vol 1, Agent Jones speculates that Vibranium is tied to the Zero Point. Shuri later came to the exact same conclusion, thinking it is closer, in an elemental sense, to The Zero Point than most materials. History: ===Origin===; Vibranium is a rare metallic ore with energy-manipulating properties. Theorized to have been first deposited on Earth by a meteorite 1,000,000 years ago, the material has long been hypothesized - by many scientists who have had ample chance to study it - to be extraterrestrial in origin. Captain Marvel inadvertently proved this theory to be true during a scuffle between survivors of the Builders' attack and the Spartax Empire who had relocated them to Torfa where the latter had begun poisoning the planet and the refugee population by using an unsafe technique to secretly mine Vibranium for use in rebuilding their fleets. However, although Vibranium was once mined on a number of planets, all of those mines have apparently been exhausted. As a result, aside from the planets Earth and Torfa, there are no known stores of Vibranium left in the Milky Way Galaxy.; There are said to be five different types of vibranium found on Earth, including three known varieties and a few unknown others. Two of the best-known isotopes are Wakandan Vibranium and Antarctic Vibranium.; ===Modern Day===; If tempered properly through a mix of magic and science, Vibranium can amplify mystical energies. The material becomes highly unstable when used this way, because it taps into an energy flow on the quantum level that is virtually infinite. If someone was able to master the secret of using magically charged vibranium, they would become immensely powerful. Dr. Doom utilized this property in his latest scheme for ultimate power, nearly crippling King T'Challa as a preemptive measure while seeding the citizens of Wakanda with nanites, turning the secret city's people into his ultimate spy network/hostage cache. At the same time, he secretly aided the xenophobically isolationist dissident Desturi sect with their uprising, and attempted overthrow of the royal family, while he stole the mother load of Vibranium from right beneath the city. When the meteor fell to earth over Africa thousands of years ago, it was largely thought that the majority of which had fallen squarely into Wakandan territory. In reality however it was found that unprocessed Vibranium exists in microscopic form across the entire world as the meteorite had seeded the earth in trace particles of it. Through which Doctor Doom could temporarily assume total control over the planet's very biosphere via the transplant of said ambient alien metal scattered across the environment in most every piece of building material in every civilized corner of the globe in order to fashion makeshift Doombots out of Vibranium particulate matter with a thought. After the war, all the processed Vibranium on Earth had been rendered inert by a Shadow Physics designed pulse bomb, using Doom's new mystically charged Vibranium armor as a focal point to broadcast it across the world. With the continuum-wide reset resulting in the aftermath of the death and rebirth of the Multiverse Vibranium has also been restored to the planet. As the mutant criminal Vanisher attempted to make off with stolen Vibranium to sell on the black market in New York City.; ===Vibranium Sickness===; Mining Vibranium can have a negative impact on the health of both those mining it and others living in proximity to the mines. Aside from the mutagenic effect that the radiation from unprocessed ore can have on nearby lifeforms, some mining techniques create toxic by-products that can seep into local groundwater and poison those who drink it. The resulting "Vibranium sickness" can be fatal if not correctly identified and properly treated. However, until recent events on Torfa, Vibranium sickness was considered to be an archaic miners' disease because advancements in mining techniques had wiped it out a century ago.; ==Variations==; ===Wakandan Vibranium===; Wakandan Vibranium also known as Vibranium A, is found almost exclusively in the tiny African nation of Wakanda.; In the distant past, a massive meteorite comprised of the sound-absorbing mineral Vibranium crashed into the land that would later become Wakanda and was unearthed a generation before the events of the present-day. One of the local tribes, led by Olumo Bashenga, its mightiest warrior, decided to investigate the site, believing the meteorite to be a gift from the gods. When they reached the crater, they found that the material vibrated on its own and decided it would be useful to forge into weapons. However, the radiation the meteorite gave off also had a side effect, turning some of the tribesman into "Demon Spirits". Bashenga prayed to the Panther God to give him the strength to defeat these demons becoming the first "Black Panther" and united the tribes to form the nation of Wakanda. His lineage would later rule the country for centuries.; Vibranium radiation has permeated much of Wakanda's flora and fauna, including the Heart-Shaped Herb eaten by members of the Black Panther Cult, and the flesh of the White Apes eaten by the members of the White Gorilla Cult. Members of the Panther tribe who consume the herb are instinctively tied to the Vibranium, able to sense whenever it is taken out of their country by illicit means.; Wakandan Vibranium absorbs vibratory or kinetic energy in its vicinity owing to an unusually tight molecular crystal lattice array in the form of a compound helix. When focused on the molecular level, it can even sap the energy that binds particles together causing matter to disintegrate. The apparent observable vibratory rate of the molecules of the Vibranium itself does not noticeably increase when the Vibranium absorbs mechanical energy. The outside vibratory energy is stored within the bonds between the molecules making up the Vibranium. As a result, a chunk of Vibranium which had absorbed a considerable amount of vibratory energy would be exceedingly hard to demolish. If enough force were applied to this chunk to smash it, the Vibranium would explode, releasing much of the absorbed energy. There are limits to the capacity of Vibranium to absorb vibratory energy, although the exact extent of these limits has not been determined.; For example, in recent years the oil conglomerate Roxxon discovered that a certain small island in the South Atlantic had a foundation composed of Wakandan Vibranium. Roxxon found it necessary to destroy the island and blew it up with bombs. Unable to absorb the force of the explosion, the Vibranium was destroyed, but it did succeed in entirely absorbing the sound made by the explosion, which prevented damage to the surrounding area.; It is only in recent years that the outside world has learned of the existence of Wakandan Vibranium, although its existence has been rumored for decades. In the early 1940's a small amount of Wakandan Vibranium came into the possession of the young, brilliant scientist Dr. Myron MacLain. Dr. MacLain began to develop super-strong metals for the US Government at the beginning of World War II. While experimenting with various alloys for use as tank armor, he accidentally created the disk shield by combining Wakandan Vibranium, steel alloy and a unknown third catalyst. Although he was never able to duplicate the alloy, after several decades of continued experiments, MacLain finally produced the formula for True Adamantium for the US Government.; Sometime later the renegade scientist Ulysses Klaw, who believed the rumors of Vibranium to be true, found the great "sacred mound" of Vibranium in Wakanda. The king of Wakanda had guarded the mound for generations as a sacred trust. Klaw failed in his attempt to steal Vibranium from the mound but killed the king T'Chaka. T'Chaka's son, T'Challa, became the new king of the Wakandans and adopted the sacred guise of the Black Panther. T'Challa strove to end Wakanda's isolation from the rest of the world. He made the existence of Vibranium known to the greater world and sold small quantities of it to foreigners whom he believed would not turn it to harmful ends. This proved to be a hugely lucrative enterprise: Wakandan Vibranium is sold at $10,000 per gram, and the country's sacred mound is estimated to hold about 10,000 tons of the material. The gross net worth of a Vibranium bench alone is equivalent to $20,000,000. T'Challa used the profits from these sales to enrich and modernize his nation.; ===Anti-Metal===; Antarctic Vibranium , also known as Vibranium B or S.L.V (Savage Land Vibranium), has thus far been found only in the isolated region of Antarctica known as the Savage Land. It is also known as Anti-Metal due to its opposite effects to Wakandan Vibranium. Antarctic Vibranium, through a means that is not understood, emanates vibrations which cause the atomic and molecular bonds in nearby metals of other kinds to weaken, which results in the liquefaction of nearby solid metals. Savage Land Vibranium also produces protective counter vibrations which can throw off sonic attacks, its unique properties can also be used to create dimensional apertures to other realities with the right vibrational attunement.; A particularly influential noble partook of this mystery element, fashioning it into a family crest which served as a key to their most sacred treasure, The Plunder Stone. with this rock the family patriarch hoped to do some good with it, even fashioning a Medallion out of the metal and imparting it onto his two sons. His more duplicitous heir chose to abuse its power for criminal endeavors, fashioning a weapon out of it which melts all forms of munitions used against him.; Over the years, the Antarctic variety has become much more prolific on the global stage. A mercenary looking to utilize Anti-Metal as a terrorist weapon in satellite espionage discovered it had mutagenic properties, giving him similar alloy melting properties in the mesh suit he wore. At a trial overseen by She-Hulk, a trading company's mismanagement of which lead to the collapse of one of their storage complexes, revealing that human exposure to it can also be deadly, as Anti-Metal's vibrations can dissolve the iron content in the blood, causing any manner of health deficiencies because of it. Due to its metal slagging properties Anti-Metal is next to impossible to properly fashion. But a war-criminal scientist found and perfected a means to fashion it into useful munitions yet kept the secret to himself.; While a largely theoretical practice, it is possible to transform Wakandan Vibranium into Antarctic Vibranium. A fraction of the sacred mound of Wakandan Vibranium was converted to Antarctic Vibranium by particle bombardment, specifically through Gigawatt Baryon Beams produced by a massive cyclotron apparatus. Alternating the differentiating isotope that separates Wakandan Vibranium from Antarctic Vibranium. Turning one of its Vibranium deposits into a massive Anti-Metal mound which threatened the mega-structure of the eastern hemisphere and the entire world at large.; During the Vibranium Vendetta story-line, an unstable form of Vibranium called Nuform was created by Roxxon that would quickly degenerate into Anti-Metal if not regularly bombarded with Microwave Radiation. When Wakandan Vibranium was left inert during the Doomwar, Princess Regent Shuri ventured to the Savage Land in order to procure some Antarctic Vibranium. It was revealed that Klaw had struck an accord with A.I.M in order to procure a defense system liquidating mind control device called Scream, which he could utilize through the power of a similarly soniokinetic superbeing called M.U.S.I.C..; ===Reverbium===; Reverbium is an artificial variant of Vibranium that was created by Sajani Jaffrey after most of the world's Vibranium was rendered inert. This variant is imperfect, so rather than absorbing vibrational and kinetic energy, it does the opposite and pushes it away, making it a powerful weapon even in small amounts. All of the existing Reverbium has been seemingly destroyed to avoid its use as a dangerous weapon, after the Hobgoblin stole some of it for the Kingpin. It was revealed later that Sajani had kept some bits of said faux material for further study at Horizon Labs until its abrupt destruction and dissolution.; One of the flaws of Reverbium, is that while the metal itself is incredibly potent, its atomic structure is highly unstable, making it less resilient than pure Vibranium. The right particle bombardment can send its subatomic structure crumbling into dust.; It is later revealed that some A.I.M scientists were working on recreating more of the substance for their own purposes under the influence of Klaw when he returned. Ulysses learned that Reverbium could be used to amplify his powers to unfathomable degrees, further enabling his control over sound even greater range and effect. He intended to use this aspect in order revive his unresponsive sister Julia to a semblance of life by recreating her as a soniokinetic entity mimicking himself via neuropsychic energy transfer.; ===Living Vibranium===; Discovered by the Dora Milaje and then refined by once famous Wakandan scientist, Obinna Nwabueze. His delving into the subatomic structure of vibranium yielded results in the form of semi-sentient consciousness within it, resulting in truly self-reliant smart metal that could fend for itself. What many people didn't know, even a great many living within Wakanda, was that sentient Vibranium wasn't manufactured at all. It is a naturally recurring ore sitting within a cave near the great mound called the Echo Chamber, which was turned into a training site reserved and utilized for militia conditioning by the Dora Milaje. Said vibranium responded to resonation with mimicry and often responded best if the recipient using it was one of the Adored Ones, whom having spent years honing themselves within the echo chamber, absorbed some of it through their skin. This Sentient Vibranium proved too volatile however, as the inner self mimicked the user down to its core while also growing a persona of its own. Left unchecked said materia could go on a rampage either of its own accord, or if exposed to an errant personality.; Said vibranium's abilities are vast, since it knows itself within as well as without; able to harmoniously attune to nature around itself to cause all manner of impossible phenomena to occur. I.E. tremors, irregular animal behavior, casting of illusions and syncing directly with other vibranium caches to trigger all of these effects. The Dora's found a way to control it through use of Treated Vibranium in the form of drums or small pieces of which kept within their spears. Once done somebody could command it to act on the instrument carrier's behalf. Both treated and living varieties of Vibranium throw out vibrations instead of absorbing them, through which a user can open a portal to an extra dimension linked to the quasi-consciousness of the Mimic-27 through the echo chamber. Only those who have trained there can access it however, and the Sentient Vibranium will create mimicries of anyone who enters as a defense mechanism. Whenever new recruits practice in the cave with the control device housing the mimic, it seemingly faces the advocate with an almost psychometric projection of themselves; entailing the Living Vibranium situated within the cave has clairvoyant properties, showing those who take the test premonitions of their own future.; ===Known Uses===; Plunderer was given a medallion fashioned from Anti-Metal, created a vibro-gun using his father's Plunder Stone which was also Antarctic Vibranium.; Captain America's Shield is made of a Vibranium-Iron alloy created by Dr. Myron MacLain.; During his time as The Captain, T'Challa gifted Steve Rogers with a Vibranium shield following a fallout with Tony Stark.

Notes: While the Venom Virus was created using a sample of the Venom symbiote, it is not considered a symbiote, and thus does not leave behind codices. History: The Venom Virus was created by Kristoff Vernard using a sample of the Venom symbiote taken using time-travel from its time in captivity by the Fantastic Four. Kristoff later sold it to Victor von Doom through proxies and arranged its deployment on American soil, knowing it would be traced back to Doom, who would consequently be arrested and incarcerated.; Stored in a satellite, the Venom Virus was "accidentally" deployed over Manhattan and infected both various superhuman individuals and thousands of regular civilians and animals. Iron Man was eventually able to synthesize an antidote for the Venom Virus, stopping its spread and curing those who were infected. ============================================================ Vapors of Vision Kind: item Page: Vapors of Vision Formal name: Vapors of Vision Type: Spell First appearance: Thor Annual Vol 1 13 Created by: Alan Zelenetz; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Mephisto ============================================================ Vandercleef X.LK5 (Earth-8311) Kind: item Page: Vandercleef X.LK5 Formal name: Vandercleef X.LK5 Other aliases: Vandercleef X.LK5 softsheel repeater with flip-action expendible gauge release and blowback overfeed Type: Firearm First appearance: Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham Vol 1 13 Created by: Mike Mellor Reality: Earth-8311 Current owner: S.H.E.E.P.

The device had developed three duplicated suits of armor before it was destroyed by Iron Man.; The duplicate armor had been flawed, however. Iron Man had applied a "refractory coating" to his armor which had corrupted the analyzed design, causing the duplicate armor to malfunction. Additionally, the color scheme had been identical to the original, leaving Mordius's other men unable to aid those in armor due to confusion in the ensuing fight. Since the odds were against him, Mordius destroyed them with a rocket cannon, hoping to remove the benefit of the Iron Man Armor from both sides. ============================================================ Vegetal Intelligence Sentient Transmission Array Kind: item Page: Vegetal Intelligence Sentient Transmission Array Formal name: Vegetal Intelligence Sentient Transmission Array Type: Technology First appearance: Hulk Annual Vol 2 1 Created by: Monty Nero; Luke Ross; Patrick Goddard; Marc Laming Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Patty Wolman Additional designers: Ahmed Place of creation: Vancouver, Canada Previous owners: Patty Wolman History: V.I.S.T.A.

History: A metal spheric satellite developed and created by Victor von Doom through years of work, it manipulated the brain pattern of people within its reach to instill an absolute loyalty to Doctor Doom using a ray of energy of some kind. The effect was permanent as long as the machine was operational, and a victim could be forced to murder on Doom's command.; Doom took the vibro-bomb to a hidden lair in New York City, where he captured the Fantastic Four (Mr. Fantastic, Medusa, Human Torch and the Thing). Doom intended to launch the vibro-bomb on the nose of a rocket so that it would affect all the Earth. While the launching took place and the vibro-bomb started working, it would need two hours to be completely useful. In that time, the Fantastic Four were released by a dissatisfied minion of Doom, the cyborg Darkoth. Doom tried to escape in a rocket and board the Vibro-Bomb, but Darkoth stowawayed in and attacked Doom. His rocket collided with the Vibro-Bomb, destroying both of them.; Doom survived and still had access to the Vibro-Bomb schematics at Castle Doom but apparently he did not replicated the device. ============================================================ Victorium Kind: item Page: Victorium Formal name: Victorium Type: Material First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 200 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Keith Pollard; Joe Sinnott Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Victorium was a steel alloy developed by Doctor Doom. It was both adamantine and cutting and, when presented as a cable-like rope, it could cut up a human being easily simply by pressing.; Doctor Doom first demonstrated Victorium during an encounter with Mr. Fantastic in Doom's New York Castle. Doom stunned Mr. Fantastic, led him to an automated murder room, then activated a mechanism to tie Mr. Fantastic and press him. Initially hurt, Mr. Fantastic released himself using his plasticity powers, only to fight Doom's next trap devices. ============================================================ Vertigo Beam Kind: item Page: Vertigo Beam Formal name: Vertigo Beam Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 246 Created by: John Byrne Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Developed by Doctor Doom, the Vertigo Beam shot a short-range unseen ray that easily hit off-guard targets. Once hit, the victim could rarely resist th effects of the ry, which including loss of balance and concentration, to the point of falling to the ground for a short time. The affected person was also unable to perform any action requiring concentration, including the use of any active super-power. Non-organic beings, such as androids, were immune to it.; Doom developed the plans for this device and kept it in his Latverian Castle. He also built one operative unit which he hid in the NYC Latverian Embassy - specifically in a pit trap, concealed behind a ceiling, floor or wall. The vertigo beam could also be adapted as a hand-held device.; Doom -more specifically his Doombots- used this device to ambush unwary opponents. He once used it against the Invisible Girl of the Fantastic Four: He summoned the Fantastic Four to the Embassy, then separated them, holding each of them in an individual cell whose floor opened to a pit. The Invisible Girl's force field would have allowed her to stop her own fall, but the vertigo beam prevented her from doing that. She fell and recovered to face a Doombot that was impersonating Doom. ============================================================ Vibration Machine Kind: item Page: Vibration Machine Formal name: Vibration Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Astonishing Tales Vol 1 3 Created by: Larry Lieber; Wally Wood Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Current owner: Doctor Doom History: Doctor Doom's main headquarters, Castle Doom, had been built on a faultine. Knowing this, Doom built a subterranean Vibration Machine, hidden in the foundations of the castle, that could cause an earthquake to demolish the castle. The seism, while brutal, only affected the castle and its immediate vicinity; and Doom could activate it from a remote control if in the nearby grounds. People in the castle would suffer damage. Doom's purpose was to use it should the castle fall in the wrong hands, and indeed he used it when pretender Prince Rudolfo attempted a coup against Doom. When the castle fell, Rudolfo and his allies -including the alien Faceless One were forced to escape. Immediately after that, Doom started rebuilding. ============================================================ Vaulting Boots of Valtorr (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Vaulting Boots of Valtorr Formal name: Vaulting Boots of Valtorr Type: Footwear First appearance: Marvel's Doctor Strange Prelude Vol 1 2 Created by: Scott Derrickson; Jon Spaihts; Scott Derrickson; C.

It's unknown whether it is connected to the Vibra-Gun or if it is an entirely different weapon with a similar appearance. History: ===Mister Fantastic's Vibra-Gun===; Vibra-Guns were a type of weapon created by Mister Fantastic. The vibrations from the weapons would sap the strength out of its target until it ran out of power. The weapons were used by henchmen working for the Thinker after he took over the Baxter Building and lured the Fantastic Four there with the hopes of ridding himself of their potential interference in taking over New York City and turning it into an independent nation in which he was its ruler. The Thing managed to reduce their effectiveness by pulling together a steel wall to block the rays from striking the group.; ===Plunderer's Vibra-Gun===; The Plunderer created his version of the Vibra-Gun using the Plunderstone that his father Lord Robert Plunder had discovered in the Savage Land.

History: The Violet Raptor is the epic heretical tractate written in the dialect of Old Shi'ar. It contains information about M'krann Crystal's creation. It also contains information about the early days of the universe. According to it, common elements during universe's first moments were exposed to Kirbons.; The Violet Raptor was included into the Brighthold. In 1658 Blackheart helped Abigail Housman to translate it.; At some point Wakanda gained this book (or maybe its copy). In the modern days Wakandan scientists used the information from the Violet Raptor to substantiate their theory that various exotic metals, including Adamantium, Vibranium, Carbonadium, Uru and Mysterium, have properties similar to the elements during universe's first moments. Princess Shuri taught this theory in the Avengers Academy, and later gave the Violet Raptor to her student Lunella Lafayette to read. ============================================================ Varkath Star (Earth-22145) Kind: item Page: Varkath Star Formal name: Varkath Star Type: Amulet First appearance: Marvel's Midnight Suns: Infernal Rising Created by: S.D. Perry Reality: Earth-22145 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Varkath History: Varkath created the Varkath Star, an amulet that could control the Hell Lords. It was a deep blue stone set in a cage of silver, a shining chain coiled around the egg-shaped pendant. Created from the direct energies of the lost dimension Abalosom and set into silver forged from the bones of Abalosom's angels, the Star's creation required all of the dimension's reality.; The Cleric Sedilos buried the Star along with the map to Lilith's Tomb, a spell to summon Mephisto, and a shield to deflect hellfire in the vault warded by powerful spells to not open until the next dimensional alignment known as the "Midnight Sun". The hope of the Knights of Wundagore was that should all other defenses against the return of Lilith fail, Mephisto could be summoned and turned against her at the crucial moment.; Doctor Faustus was seeking the map but claimed that he was after the Varkath Star to persuade Satana Hellstrom and Zarathos into aiding him in opening the vault. He grabbed what he after and teleported away, uncaring who the Varkath Star fell to or what they were going to do with it. It was claimed by Satana, but Nico Minoru used the Staff of One to take it from her before she could use it. The spell ended up shattering and destroyed the Star. ============================================================ Vault Defense Matrix (Earth-6160) Kind: item Page: Vault Defense Matrix Formal name: Vault Defense Matrix Type: Defense System First appearance: Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 3 23 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Marco Checchetto; David Messina Reality: Earth-6160 Origin: Extremely complex and highly adaptable nanotechnological defense system Lead designer: Howard Stark Place of creation: Stark Tower Place of destruction: Fisk Tower Previous owners: Kingpin, Stane/Stark Industries Material: Nanotechnology Trivia: The Vault Defense Matrix is the equivalent of Anti-Venom in Earth-6160.

Trivia: Hobie Brown was one of Bestman's top engineers, a company which Toomes owned, under the alias Holden Tooks. Vulture stole designs from the company and added them to his Vulture suit, so it's fair to say that Hobie, unbeknownst to himself, was an additional designer to Vulture's costume. This is further supported when Vulture claims that he knows the ins and outs of Prowler's costume and declares his suit superior.; Daniel Kingsley theorized that the design of wings of the Goblin Armor ultimately used by Phil Urich as Hobgoblin were stolen from Vulture.; Taskmaster was able to convert his cape into functional wings. Starling speculated this was his way of mimicking her. History: The Vulture designed a pair of wings to fly without any noise. Using the Anti-Magnetic Inverter, Spider-Man was able to counteract the magnetic power that the Vulture harnessed for his wings, damaging them and causing the Vulture to spiral to Earth, where he was arrested.; In prison, the Vulture spent his time secretly smuggling parts from the prison machine shop into his cell, so that he could recreate his flying technology, this time correcting the flaw which caused his defeat last time: by switching the magnetic poles, the wings wouldn't be affected by the anti-magnetic inverter anymore.; When he joined the Sinister Six, the Vulture used his wings to deliver a message to J. Jonah Jameson, telling him that Betty Brant had been captured and that Spider-Man had to go to Stark Electric Plant in order to save her. The Vulture was eventually defeated by Spidey and ended up in prison with the rest of the Sinister Six.; Before Adrian Toomes seemingly died in jail, following an accident, he told his cellmate Blackie Drago the location of a spare set of Vulture wings. Once he learned of their location, Drago revealed that the "accident" was planned in the hopes that Toomes would reveal the location of the wings, so that once Drago got out of prison, he could use the technology for his own personal gain. That night, Drago managed to sneak out of the prison, and found Toomes' spare set of wings: hidden in a hiding place near the prison. Drago managed to escape before the guards could capture him, mastering how to use the wings in moments and flying away.; He used the Vulture's wings against Spider-Man and Kraven the Hunter, but he was eventually defeated by Spidey at the Exhibition Hall. Back in Toomes' possession when he was hired by the Kingpin to kill Raymond Trask, the wings were used to fly away after the failed assassination attempt, before the Vulture was lifted by Doctor Octopus in his Hover Jet.; The Vulture flapped again his wings to deploy Sandman to Governors Island in order to steal a prototype amphibious tank, fending off Spider-Man. The Vulture then joined the Sinister Six in the assault against the Cordco space launch facility, fighting Spider-Man again.; As soon as he understood Doc Ock's real plan to infect the ozone layer with a drug that causes extreme convulsions in cocaine users, in order to rule the world alone in exchange for the burundite antidote for the rich and powerful addicts, the Vulture flew away, vowing revenge on the traitor.; The original vulture wings resulted from Toomes' mastery of electromagnetic force, but he nevertheless managed to break out from Ryker's Island only with a pair of wings tinkered together from sheets and bed slats.; After he absorbed Spider-Man's lifeforce and returned young, the Vulture headed to his hideout and created a new and improved electromagnetic costume. When he was arrested again in New Jersey, the police seized his new pair of wings. When the Vulture met the Owl in Manhattan, he seemed to have recovered his new pair of wings.; The Vulture was then defeated by Daredevil in Brooklyn, and supposedly arrested by the police. A while later, the Vulture was surprised by the Scarlet Spider, who tried to trap his wings with impact webbing, but the villain easily freed himself and flew away.; After Spider-Man defeated the Sinister Six in a Nassau County top-secret facility where Doctor Octopus' Tentacles were stored, the Vulture managed to escape capture by flying away.; The Vulture then saved Hobgoblin when he was thrown off a rooftop by a collapsing water tower.; As the de-aging effect was fading away, the Vulture used his wings to ambush his victims. A short time later, he flew again to get revenge on the new Prowler. The Vulture sneaked into Prowler's apartment, although he was out of his element, unable to maneuver in such a confined area.; Adrian gave a pair of red wings to his granddaughter, Tiana Toomes, which she used to become the superhero Starling.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-982, Blackie Drago's wings were modified by Tony Dravis so that Brenda Drago, Blackie's daughter and Tony's then girlfriend, could operate as the masked Raptor.; Spider-Girl Vol 1 18; On Earth-1048, over the years, Vulture's wings gave him spinal cancer due to the batteries of his suit. This flaw was later repaired when Doctor Octopus upgrade it in need of his assistance. His wings are capable of launching simple energized knife-like projectiles. Vulture's wings grants him airborne speeds of up to 95 mph and enhanced strength.; Marvel's Spider-Man (video game); On Earth-1610, the wings were a part of a combat suit created by Elijah Stern for the Roxxon Corporation. After being fired by the company, Stern stole the suit and gave it to mercenary Blackie Drago.; Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 1 89; On Earth-12041, initially Adrian Toomes didn't have a need for mechanical wings due to Doctor Octopus fusing his DNA with that of a Vulture's thus giving him his own organic wings, taloned feet and a sonic scream. Later Octopus gave Adrian a green Iron Vulture Armor for enhancements which also came with armored wings, Doc Ock used his nanobot to upgrade his armor (changing it to the black and red variant) as well as keep him under Ock's control. Adrian is later cured of his mutation and freed from the armors control.; Ultimate Spider-Man S404; On Earth-120703, Vulture's wings appeared briefly at the end of Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie, though Adrian Toomes did not appear in the film.; The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (film); On Earth-199999, disenfranchised Adrian Toomes secured a load of Chitauri technology recovered from the Battle of New York and had a flight harness fashioned from it. In essence it was a wearable drone, able to operate remotely under Toomes's command, and yet also had the capability to clamp onto him and maintain enough lift to bear him aloft with a considerable amount of additional weight. The wing assemblage was capable of vertical take off and landing by way of a pair of gimbal mounted rotors, and the material structure (being Chitauri in origin) could slice through solid steel. Later modifications to Toomes's wings included an exoskeleton incorporating taloned feet with considerable gripping power and a high altitude seal that allowed the wings to clamp together to form an air pocket when the entire apparatus was clamped to the side of an unyielding structure.; Spider-Man: Homecoming; After being accidentally transported to Earth-688 by a side-effect of Doctor Strange's spell, Adrian Toomes was swiftly released from prison due to having no criminal record. He would later construct a new flight suit by using different resources, in hopes to do "some good" while being currently trapped in Earth-688. Using his suit, he was able to physically meet with Dr. Michael Morbius after reading about him, which Toomes gave him a chance to team up.Morbius (film) ============================================================ Wand of Watoomb Kind: item Page: Wand of Watoomb Formal name: Wand of Watoomb Other aliases: Great Wand; Great Golden Wand of Watoomb; Wicked Wands of Watoomb Type: Wand First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 2 Created by: Stan Lee; Steve Ditko Reality: Earth-616; Earth-1610; Earth-58163; Earth-199999; Earth-1048 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Watoomb Current owner: Stephen Strange; Tony Stark; Yondu Previous owners: Xandu; Victor von Doom; unnamed priestess of Yog Properties: The Wand absorbs and store mystical energy. Stored energy can be used for:; Magical blasts; Magical shields; Opening inter-dimensional apertures; Create scrying pools; Enhance the effects of another spell the holder uses; Objects of near-omnipotent power, each Wand is controlled by mere thoughts of its user, primarily for enhancing, multiplying, gathering, focusing, and redirecting mystical energies. They can be used to block mystical attacks, and use the energy absorbed to either heal the wielder, unleash a damaging blast, or erect a defensive barrier. They can also be used to control the elements, open portals to other dimensions, and allow the wielder to scry any person, place, or thing they are familiar with.; The Wand was stated by Xandu to be "the most powerful weapon in all necromantic lore", an exaggeration but not an excessive one. Notes: As seen in Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 21, the Wand of Watoomb has a mystical connection to, and has been shown to be re-energized by, the Crystal of Kadavus. Trivia: In the JLA/Avengers Vol 1 crossover, the Wand of Watoomb was one of the six magical objects that represented the Marvel Universe. History: ===Origin===; The Wands of Watoomb are a magical artifact created by Watoomb. The Wand was stated to be "forever cursed".; There may be six of them across the dimensions, all bearing the same name. They are one-foot long crystalline batons with demonic heads carved on either end.; ===Hyborian Age===; During the Age of Conan, a priestess of Yog wielded what appeared to be a Wand of Watoomb. The priestess used it to conjure the elements, seemingly believing its power was drawn from Yog. She used it to battle Conan, who managed to take it from her and strike at her with it, killing her. The wand then disappeared. The priestess was described as a "murderous goddess".; ===Modern Age===; The first revealed Wand of Watoomb had been broken in half by Watoomb when he decided to retire from mystic affairs and wished to pass on his wand to some deserving young adept. Doctor Strange and Cyrus Black met in the Dimension of Watoomb and were directed to each take one half of the wand. The two young adepts used their halves to battle each other in the hope that the victor would gain the complete wand. Strange defeated Black and kept his half but did not gain Black's half. Black's half ended up in a display somewhere from which it was later stolen by Xandu.; After learning that Strange had the other half, Xandu plotted to steal it from him and succeeded in rejoining the two halves. However, Xandu's plan was ultimately foiled with help from Spider-Man and Strange used his Eye of Agamotto to drain the complete wand of its power, rendering it harmless.; Years later, Xandu hypnotized Spider-Man into stealing the Crystal of Kadavus for him which he then used to recharge the complete Wand. Strange and Spider-Man defeated him again and Strange left the Wand adrift in an extradimensional realm. Despite this, Xandu subsequently managed to regain the Wand on several occasions but was always defeated.; During a subsequent battle, Warren Traveler felt a connection between his Eye of Watoomb and this first Wand, so he stole it from Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, only to be pursued by Ms. Marvel until it was recovered.; Later, during the Dark Reign, after Strange had fallen from the position of the Sorcerer Supreme due to use of dark magic, he explained to Wiccan that the Wand of Watoomb was among the various power-objects he would be forced to surrender to the new Sorcerer Supreme.; When Madame Masque broke into Castle Doom, Iron Man went to investigate. There he encountered Victor von Doom who shockingly gave him a second Wand of Watoomb as a show of good faith.; Madame Masque, upset that she had made off with a decoy Wand instead, killed her ex-Hydra informant for having provided what she believed to be false information, not knowing that there was indeed a second Wand that was now in Tony Stark's possession.; A third Wand of Watoomb was seen in the Ravagers' treasure vault aboard Yondu's ship. ============================================================ Wangal Kind: item Page: Wangal Formal name: Wangal Type: Artifact First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 169 Created by: Len Wein; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Vodū Previous owners: Damballah; Jericho Drumm History: Brother Voodo he took possession of the Wangal of Damballah, the mystical amulet that allowed those who wear it to be possessed by Damballah. He had the Wangal stashed away inside his New Orleans Mansion. To everyone's surprise, Brother Voodoo himself was wearing the Wangal of Damballa and was under the demon's control. He then cast a magic spell to trap Damballah within the Wangal of Damballah forever. ============================================================ War Machine Armor Model 3 Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor Model 3 Type: Armor First appearance: Avengers: The Initiative Vol 1 1 Created by: Dan Slott; Stefano Caselli Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Jim Rhodes Previous owners: Tinkerer Dimensions: 6'6" in height Weight: 230 lbs. Model: 3 Version: 1 Properties: ===Overview===; The main purpose of this armor is to serve as life support for Jim Rhodes. While he possessed cybernetic limbs beneath the suit, he required to be connected to its chestplate and helmet to survive. As a failsafe in case his technology became compromised on a worldwide level, Tony Stark outfitted this War Machine Armor wtih no Starktech. Its hardware is a combination of bleeding edge cybertech and discontinued equipment from when Obadiah Stane ran Stark Industries. Because of this, the armor is completely independent from all outside systems. It can interact with the grid, but it's insulated from it. The suit is also coded to work with the Satellite Armor.; On a surface level, this armor possesses all the standard abilities of a regular War Machine Armor. It provides Rhodes with superhuman strength, enabling him to lift up to 100 tons. The armor can fly at supersonic speeds up to Mach 2 using its jet boots. The armor's sytems are operated using a cybernetic link to Rhodes himself and they include a targeting computer, radar and environment sensors and a sophisticated subspace/satellite radio communication array, which can also detect local radio signals. The suit's computer displays can be projected from the armor using holographic generators, which can be presumably reconfigured to alter the armor's appearance. The armor is specially coated to resist radar detection and targeting locks. The armor also contains life support systems, including an hour's worth of air supply and can be sealed for space and underwater travel. The suit possesses a vulnerability against electromagnetic pulses, which completely shut it down.; ===Offensive Capabilities===; The suit possesses blasters on its gauntlets, and a gatling gun and a rocket launched mounted on each shoulder. Additional cannons can extend from the shoulders, the pectorals, the hips and the abdomen, as well as a unibeam from the chest. The suit is equipped with a variety of projectile weapons, including repulso rays, pulse bolts, sonic generators, mini-guns, flash bombs, incendiary bombs, and missiles. The unibeam can project virtually every light spectrum (visible, infrared and ultraviolet), a laser beam and an EMP generator that can shut down electronic devices within a 50-yard radius (the armor can reboot itself within minutes). On one occasion, the shoulder-mounted blaster has been modified to fire rounds of the S.P.I.N. power neutralizer darts. The armor's right gauntlet and left kneeguard possess retractable steel knives.; ===Defensive Capabilities===; The armor affords Rhodes a significant protection from physical attacks, and includes a personal force field. The armor also possesses defenses against telepathic attacks. The suit can absorb vast quantities of radiation and other energies, and has managed to withstand the detonation of a Super-Skrull that possessed the combined powers of the U-Foes at point blank. The suit can release the absorbed energy through its repulsor or unibeam emitters. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on an estimate of the number of models of the War Machine Armor that have existed.; Due to this armor's debut and prominent appearances in Avengers: The Initiative Vol 1, it is commonly referred to as the "Initiative Armor." History: This suit was built by Tony Stark for Jim Rhodes after a fatal injury in combat cost him his limbs and part of his face, and it doubled as life support for his body. Using this armor, Rhodey resumed the War Machine mantle and served as an instructor at Camp Hammond for the 50-State Initiative.; Due to this suit's intentional lack of any components of Starktech, it remained unaffected by a cybernetic attack by the Skrulls during the opening salvo of their invasion on Earth which targeted all technology made by Iron Man. Because of this, Rhodes managed to help fight the invading Skrull Army in Tony's stead. Afterward, Rhodes stopped using this armor in favor of the War Machine Armor Model 4. ============================================================ Vorlexx (Earth-93060) Kind: item Page: Vorlexx Formal name: Vorlexx Type: Jewel First appearance: Solution Vol 1 9 Created by: James Hudnall; Tim Divar Reality: Earth-93060 Lead designer: Vyr Place of creation: Wold Previous owners: Drop Kick; Tech; Shadowmage; Outrage; Vyr; Aerwan Notes: Corrupts the user if used three times. ============================================================ Vortex-staff Kind: item Page: Vortex-staff Formal name: Vortex-staff Type: Staff First appearance: Thor Vol 1 497 Created by: William Messner-Loebs; Luke Ross; Oclair Albert; Frank Toscano Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Estelle Geis ============================================================ Walnut Diamond (Earth-8311) Kind: item Page: Walnut Diamond Formal name: Walnut Diamond Type: Jewel First appearance: Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham Vol 1 2 Created by: Steve Skeates; Mark Armstrong Reality: Earth-8311 Current owner: Elizabeth Tabby Previous owners: Richard Bird-Dog History: A ring with a large diamond that Richard Bird-Dog gave his wife Elizabeth Tabby. Bullfrog tried to steal it during the opening gala of the "Gangland Follies" to the European Theatre but could not remove it from the fat fingers of Tabby and meanwhile intervened Spider-Ham, who defeated and captured Bullfrog. ============================================================ War Machine Armor Model 6 Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor Model 6 Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man 2.0 Vol 1 3 Created by: Nick Spencer; Barry Kitson Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Resilient Current owner: Jim Rhodes Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on an estimate of the number of models of the War Machine Armor that have existed.; The suit and its design was unveiled in January 10, 2011 ahead of the release of Iron Man 2.0 Vol 1 1.; Since the suit sports all of Tony Stark's latest beta tests, there only was one copy of this armor. History: After a mission for the Pentagon to track down Palmer Addley resulted in War Machine walking into a trap and being caught in a nuclear explosion, Tony Stark decided to outfit Rhodey with a new armor that favored a stealth approach to combating evil. The end result was this armor, which combined all of Stark's latest developments in stealth technology into a single suit.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; Like all War Machine suits, this armor provides its user with enhanced strength, durability and the ability to fly, being able to reach speeds of Mach 4. Unlike previous War Machine armor, this suit was built to favor stealth tactics. It makes use of an improved version of the Chameleon Mode (a feature present in the Silver Centurion Iron Man Armor) which provides the armor with invisibility, camouflage and holographic projection. While the Chameleon Mode was perfected since the Silver Centurion days and doesn't cause headaches or seizures, it still causes disorientation. It is powered by the Arc Reactor.; Ghost-Tech makes use of multi-dimensional bridge teleportation to allow the armor's user to phase through solid objects. The suit additionally features complete scanner invisibility, making it undetectable to targeting programs. Due to compatibility issues, the suit can't go invisible and intangible at the same time.; The suit's arsenal includes the ability to detonate an electromagnetic pulse, and to release from its palms a sleeping gas synthesized by S.H.I.E.L.D. specifically for crowd pacification. This armor can also remain unaffected by electromagnetic pulses.; ===Offensive Capabilities===; The armor additionally possesses a Combat Mode. Upon activation, marked by the change in the repulsor light from blue to red, this function enhances the user's strength to considerable levels. Due to the strain this add-on puts on the armor's repulsor systems, Combat Mode isn't meant for sustained, heavy use. The armor additionally possesses wrist-mounted machine guns and missile launchers. At 92% of power, the suit's repulsor blasts were capable of knocking down and scorching a giant rampaging robot. ============================================================ War Machine Armor (Earth-904913) Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor (Earth-904913) Formal name: War Machine Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man: Armored Adventures Season 1 25 Created by: Christopher Yost; Craig Kyle; Michael Ryan Reality: Earth-904913 Origin: Designed for heavy weapons combat by Tony Stark for Rhodey. Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: The Armory Current owner: Jim Rhodes Model: 1 Version: 1 Properties: The War Machine isn't as fast as the Iron Man armor, but it is built for combat. It has greater protection and more powerful weapons. The repulsors and unibeam are red in color instead of blue.; Superhuman Strength: War Machine can lift massive weights. He could lift small aircraft, train cars, and push the giant dragon Fin Fang Foom into a wall, disorienting him for a short period of time. He can even help support the bow of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier with the help of the Hulkbuster Armor; Enhanced Durability: The War Machine is highly durable. He can withstand being hit by a missile and a blast from Gene Khan, although the latter knocked him out for a moment.; Flight: The War Machine armor can fly by the use of jet thrusters on its boots, thighs, and its back.; Repulsor Gauntlets: The gauntlets have the abilities of:; Repulsors: War Machine is equipped with more powerful versions of the repulsors. One blast can destroy a helicopter.; Force Field: The armor can project a force field around itself to defend against attacks.; Secondary Propulsion: The ports can also double as jet thrusters.; Unibeam: It is equipped with a more powerful version of the unibeam.; Rocket Launchers: It sports shoulder-mounted rocket launchers that shoots rockets and Sidewinder missiles.; Missile Launcher: On the left shoulder, it sports a XXL Bunker-Buster missile that Rhodey states that nothing can stand up to its power.; Laser Cannon: The armor has a laser cannon on the right shoulder.; Gatling Guns: It has wrist-mounted gatling guns that are strong enough to  ===Other Features===; Onboard Computer: War Machine has access to the same computer that Iron Man relies on in his armor, it provides him information on opponents, surroundings, armor status, and other things that he requires. The computer's voice is provided by Lisa Ann Beley.; Voice Filter: This is used to hide his voice, it makes it slightly deeper and gives it a mechanical filter.; Temperature Control: The armor's temperature can rise to about 300 degrees. He used this to slowly break out of Blizzard's ice prison.; Backup Generator: War Machine has a backup generator aside from his main power source.; Sensors: This armor has sensors, but they aren't as advanced as Iron Man's.; The War Machine armor isn't as fast as the Iron Man armor; It wasn't designed for operation in the coldness of space and depths of underwater. Tony later upgraded the armor to eliminate that weakness. Trivia: The code to disengage the safety protocols is "Howard01".; This armor's HUD color is light red in Season 2.; It is odd that Tony would make this armor in this series, as he has displayed a severe dislike of creating weapons throughout the series. Maybe because he views his armors as neither good nor bad, it is how he uses them, and he uses them for good.; Rhodey has demonstrated a much darker personality when using the armor, such as threatening to drop Xin from the sky if he did not reveal the location of his friends. History: The War Machine Armor was created for fighting and combat. Rhodes found it and used it to take the Iron Man Armor MK I to Tony Stark and help him fight the Mandarin and Fin Fang Foom. After the Stark compound was destroyed by the Tong and nearly all of the Armory's suits were destroyed, Rhodey found the War Machine armor and used it to deliver Tony's armor to him and aid him in fighting the Mandarin and the fifth ring's guardian, Fin Fang Foom. He had trouble in space, but he succeeded in delivering the armor, and as a side effect, he revealed Iron Man's true identity to Gene Khan.; They tried to fight Fin Fang Foom, but they didn't have much success. After Gene let himself get eaten to pass the test, he revealed himself as the Mandarin and easily took Rhodey down. Rhodey was knocked out cold for awhile during which Tony and Gene continued their battle. He stopped Gene from killing Iron Man and Gene tried to kill Rhodey and Pepper Potts, but was stopped by Iron Man and was eventually defeated by him. Gene got away and Rhodey used the armor to fly him, Tony, and Pepper home.; Rhodes now uses the armor to help Iron Man with his superhero duties in Season 2. His first solo night was stopping a small-time robbery of jewels by the Maggia, Killer Shrike, and Unicorn. He later brought an injured Tony Stark to a hospital, under the cover story that he was in a car accident. ============================================================ Walking Thorntree Kind: item Page: Walking Thorntree Formal name: Walking Thorntree Other aliases: The Stalker Type: Plant First appearance: Conan the Barbarian Vol 2 1 Created by: Roland Green; Claudio Castellini Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Basilio Rez Place of creation: Bossonia Place of destruction: Bossonia Current owner: Basilio Rez History: A walking thorntree were sent to attack a caravan; minutes later, Conan reached the battlefield and found all the men dead.

This air column sprang from a humungous steel cannon with metallic blades on the end, and it grew from the moment of its inception, being initially relatively small, until it reached a maximum size taller than a building. People in the area suffered physical damage and objects of up to one ton were moved by the wind. Doctor Doom designed this machine to safeguard the patios of his castle in Latveria, which is a more awesome achievement as tornadoes did not happen naturally in that country.; Doom used the Vortex Machine once against a crowd of his Latverian subjects that were demanding his abdication in favour of rival claimant Zorba Fortunov. Albeit there was a legal foundation on their appeal, Doom activated the Vortex Machine and sent a twister against his own people, then escaped from Latveria to the United States to continue his plot to take over the world. At that point, the Fantastic Four had been imprisoned at Doom's Castle, but they escaped and saw the tornado. Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four found the Vortex Machine and switched it off. ============================================================ Wakanda Hulkbuster Kind: item Page: Wakanda Hulkbuster Formal name: Wakanda Hulkbuster Type: Armor First appearance: Totally Awesome Hulk Vol 1 9 Created by: Greg Pak; Michael Del Mundo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Wakandan Lead designer: Black Panther Current owner: Black Panther Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The Wakanda Hulkbuster is a Hulkbuster Armor created by Black Panther to take down the new Hulk, Amadeus Cho. ============================================================ Wakandan Research Module Kind: item Page: Wakandan Research Module Formal name: Wakandan Research Module Type: Technology First appearance: Agents of Atlas Vol 1 2 Created by: Jeff Parker; Leonard Kirk Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Wakandan Place of creation: Wakanda Current owner: Derek Khanata; many others History: A device that is able to build a holographic representation of story based on its content on Wakandan databases. ============================================================ Vita-Ray Chamber Kind: item Page: Vita-Ray Chamber Formal name: Vita-Ray Chamber Type: Technology First appearance: Captain America Vol 1 109 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Dr. Abraham Erskine Previous owners: Dr. Abraham Erskine Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: Originally Captain America was only injected with the Super-Soldier Serum with no mention of Vita Rays. History: ===Operation: Rebirth===; The first known Super-Soldier Serum was developed as part of a top secret US Government experiment called Operation: Rebirth. The creator of the Super-Soldier formula was Abraham Erskine, code-named "Professor Reinstein".The first, and arguably the most successful, recipient of the serum was Steve Rogers. Selected by General Chester Phillips of the U.S. Army to undergo testing, Rogers was at last administered the Super-Soldier serum. Given part of the compound intravenously and another part orally, Rogers was then bombarded by "vita-rays," a special combination of exotic (in 1941) wavelengths of radiation designed to accelerate and stabilize the serum's effect on his body. Steve Rogers emerged from the Vita-Ray Chamber with a body as perfect as a body can be and still be human. A Nazi spy who observed the experiment murdered Dr. Erskine mere minutes after its conclusion. Erskine died without fully committing the Super-Soldier formula to paper, leaving Steve Rogers the sole beneficiary of his genius. ============================================================ Walker Sloan's Gateway (Earth-68926) Kind: item Page: Walker Sloan's Gateway Formal name: Walker Sloan's Gateway Type: Time Machine First appearance: Spider-Man: Edge of Time Created by: Peter David Reality: Earth-68926 Lead designer: Walker Sloan Additional designers: Otto Octavius Place of creation: Alchemax Tower; Nueva York Current owner: Alchemax (Earth-96835) Previous owners: Alchemax History: Walker Sloan created a time machine and used it to travel back to the 1970's, creating an alternate timeline. ============================================================ Wakandan Totem Kind: item Page: Wakandan Totem Formal name: Wakandan Totem Other aliases: The Totem Type: Idol First appearance: Avengers - Another Day to Save Vol 1 1 Created by: Marc Sumerak; Jose Luis Giles Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Wakandan; Magical Place of creation: Wakanda Current owner: Black Panther Previous owners: Absorbing Man Material: Stone History: As part of a Wakandan exhibition in a New York museum, King T'Challa agreed to lend the totem and other Wakandan artifacts.

The activation of these ancient arcane forces alerted Doctor Strange, who siphoned off the power from Absorbing Man. ============================================================ Wand of Xyggondo Kind: item Page: Wand of Xyggondo Formal name: Wand of Xyggondo Type: Wand First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 4 20 Created by: Jason Aaron; Chris Bachalo; Kevin Nowlan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange Previous owners: Rasputin; House of the Infernal Glories History: In the wake of the Empirikul's purge of magic, the Wand was one of the few magical items left active and empowered on the Earth. It was recovered from the Well of the Rising Pestilence in Estonia and verified by the mystical appraisers of the House of the Infernal Glories before being auctioned.; In order to prevent the wand from falling in the wrong hands, Doctor Strange stole it. The representatives of many sorcerers and magical creatures present at the auction gave chase, with a Magma Man managing to leave Strange and his ally Zelma Stanton stranded in Weirdworld.; While trapped in Weirdworld, Zelma used the Wand of Xyggondo to fend off a Magma Man. Doctor Strange later used it to take down an entire group of these monsters. ============================================================ Wadjet (Eye of Ra) Kind: item Page: Wadjet (Eye of Ra) Formal name: Wadjet Other aliases: Wedjat; Eye of Ra; Green One Type: Amulet First appearance: Avenging Spider-Man Vol 1 7 Created by: Kathryn Immonen; Stuart Immonen Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Egypt History: A replica of the Wadjet necklace was shown at an Egyptian exhibit held at Carnarvon Museum. ============================================================ Wand of Power Kind: item Page: Wand of Power Formal name: Wand of Power Type: Wand First appearance: X-Men Annual Vol 1 4 Created by: Chris Claremont; John Romita Jr. Origin: Magical Current owner: Margali Szardos History: Margali Szardos's power proved to be Strange's equal, until he realized that the source of her power came only from her magic wand.

Model: 4 Version: 1 Properties: ===Overview===; The most prominent feature of this armor, which was derived from Jim Rhodes's cybernetic augmentations, is the magno-locks. The magno-locks allow the armor to pull towards itself, attach, and interface with other pieces of technology. The magno-locks can track viable components to either augment or repair the armor by replacing missing components. Using the magno-locks, War Machine has been able to assimilate different kinds of weapons into his arsenal, like warheads, as well as components from tanks, fighter jets, motorcycles, a commercial aircraft, an excavator, the Iron Patriot Armor, and a H.A.M.M.E.R. armored transport.; War Machine can morph assimilated components beyond their original appearance, having used the magno-locks two times to build himself a giant exoskeleton, first out of military equipment, and the second time using a H.A.M.M.E.R. armored transport. The magno-locks can also reassemble components with each other without attaching them to the armor. The armor has also been shown capable to keep foreign components attached to itself even when it's not being operated by Rhodes himself.; Through Rhodes, the armor used to be patched up to the War Machine Satellite. The suit also possesses sensors and communication systems of its own. In the version of the armor worn by Rhodes when he was a cyborg, the legs and arms of the suit could detach from the rest of the body along with Rhodey's own cybernetic limbs. Rhodey was capable of moving the limbs from a distance and fire the armor's arsenal.; ===Offensive Capabilities===; In its normal configuration, this War Machine Armor possesses a minigun and a missile launcher mounted on each shoulder and an assault rifle on each forearms. Additional muzzles can extend from the side of the gauntlets and the clavicles. Parnell Jacobs's temporary upgrades provided the suit with more weaponry, including a chain gun, several missiles, a secondary minigun, and a flash pulse missile to blind enemies. When combined with Rhodes' magno-locks, the suit's offensive capabilities are extended by the different components he can assimilate. Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on an estimate of the number of models of the War Machine Armor that have existed.; This armor is the first in the comics to be inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The base for this suit's design is the Iron Man Armor MK III from Iron Man.; Unlike the War Machine Armor Model 3, Jim Rhodes appeared to have no need to be connected to this suit's chestplate to survive. Trivia: This armor costs three billion dollars. History: This armor was used by Jim Rhodes during Norman Osborn's reign to fight global threats while headquartered in the War Machine Satellite. In order to reduce the stress on his system, War Machine abducted Parnell Jacobs and had him use his expertise in the War Machine Armor to reconfigure the suit. Jacobs also retrofitted the armor with more weaponry in preparation for Rhodes' mission to save Dr. Glenda Sandoval from Eaglestar International. The armor was subsequently heavily damaged during the fight against Eaglestar, and Rhodes used its magno-locks to rebuild it with different kinds of pieces of technology until it was ultimately destroyed during a confrontation against a horde of people infected by the Ultimo Virus.; Rhodes later suited up in a new copy of the armor and used it to attack the Mackelroy Army Base, where H.A.M.M.E.R. was hiding the head of Ultimo. In the process, Jake Oh suited up in a second unit of this armor to distract American Eagle, who was on War Machine's trail. Rhodes used the armor to pursue Morgan Stark and confront him when he merged with the Ultimo Virus. He joined forces with Iron Patriot to this end, but Osborn betrayed Rhodes once Ultimo had been neutralized. Rhodes played possum and assimilated a H.A.M.M.E.R. armored transport when he was being taken away, creating a giant suit of armor for himself. However, Osborn managed to jam the pulse range of Rhodes' magno-locks, preventing him from repairing any damage done to his suit. Rhodes was defeated and the armor was stripped from him. When Rhodes regained his freedom and uploaded his brain into a new healthy body, he continued using the Model 4 Armor until switching to the War Machine Armor Model 5 following Tony Stark's return. ============================================================ War Machine Armor Model 5 Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor Model 5 Type: Armor First appearance: Secret Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Ed Brubaker; Mike Deodato Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Jim Rhodes Model: 5 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on an estimate of the number of models of the War Machine Armor that have existed.; This armor's appearance is adapted from the War Machine Armor MK I from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which appeared in Iron Man 2. History: This War Machine Armor was worn by Jim Rhodes following Tony Stark's return from a coma. He wore it most prominently as part of the Secret Avengers.; During a mission for the Pentagon to track down Palmer Addley, War Machine walked into a trap and was caught in a nuclear explosion, heavily damaging the suit. While the armor was repaired, Stark decided to provide Rhodes with a technology upgrade, and built him the War Machine Armor Model 6, a leaner and lighter suit that favored an stealth approach instead of shock and awe.; ============================================================ War Machine Armor Model 7 Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor Model 7 Type: Armor First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 513 Created by: Matt Fraction; Salvador Larroca Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Jim Rhodes Model: 7 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on an estimate of the number of models of the War Machine Armor that have existed.; Similarly to the Model 5 Armor, this suit's appearance is adapted from the War Machine Armor MK I from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which appeared in Iron Man 2. History: After thwarting the plans of Palmer Addley to spread his consciousness worldwide, War Machine suggested Iron Man to make major upgrades to his then-current armor. The end result was presumably this model of the War Machine Armor, which returns to make the use of heavy weaponry primary, while retaining aspects of the previous model's stealth capabilities.; This armor was heavily damaged during a confrontation against the Melter, Whirlwind and the Living Laser at the end of which Rhodes faked his death. Afterwards, Rhodey donned a new suit to become the new anonymous Iron Man.; Rhodey later returned to this armor. During an adventure in Japan, he had the armor stripped off him by the Techno Golem to build herself a suit. Rhodes subsequently employed another copy of the armor, and used it interchangeably with the War Machine Armor Model 8 until his temporary death.; ============================================================ War Machine Armor Model 2 Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor Model 2 Type: Armor First appearance: Iron Man Vol 3 11 Created by: Kurt Busiek; Sean Chen Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Baintronics Previous owners: Parnell Jacobs Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on an estimate of the number of models of the War Machine Armor that have existed. History: When he stumbled upon the original War Machine Armor when it resurfaced on Earth after being lost in the timestream, mercenary Parnell Jacobs brought it to Stuart Clarke. Clarke in turn suggested to bring it to Sunset Bain. Bain had the War Machine Armor recreated with her company's own technology.; Adopting the alias of War Machine, Jacobs used the armor to attack Astrodyne Systems for Bain's benefit. He was opposed by Iron Man and Warbird, but succeeded in his objective and destroyed Astrodyne's building. Iron Man tried to use a Negator Pack on War Machine, since he thought the suit to be the original armor, but was surprised to find the device having no effect on his enemy. Somehow, probably due to Clarke's help, the armor lacked any Stark technology.; Jacobs continued with partnership with Bain, and was outfitted with an exoskeleton add-on to his suit. War Machine confronted Iron Man again when Stark was investigating Baintronics. War Machine almost defeated Iron Man, until Jim Rhodes, the former owner of the War Machine Armor and Jacobs' old military partner, convinced him to spare Iron Man for an owed favor. Jacobs quit working for Bain on the spot and ejected from the exoskeleton, flying away with the regular armor for himself.; ============================================================ Virus Armor Kind: item Page: Virus Armor Formal name: Virus Armor Type: War Machine Armor First appearance: Venom Vol 4 25 Created by: Donny Cates; Ryan Stegman Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Jury-rigged anti-symbiote battlesuit Lead designer: Mac Gargan Additional designers: Phineas Mason Current owner: Virus (Dylan Brock) Previous owners: Virus (Mac Gargan) Properties: The Virus Armor was modified by Mac Gargan for the sole purpose of killing symbiote-augments, with the specific goal of using it to take revenge on Venom - who Gargan accused of ruining his life. The suit does not appear to possess an on-board computer or artificial intelligence to assist Gargan in combat, and is overall inferior in quality to the suits built by Stark Industries. While capable of flight using boot-mounted repulsors, Gargan supplements it with an old Goblin Glider. The armor also doubles as a life-support system, as without it Gargan would die. Due to a critical design flaw inherit to the Mark III War Machine armor used as its basis, the armor is critically vulnerable against electromagnetic pulses, which completely disable it and cause it to fall apart.; ===Offensive Powers===; The Virus Armor possesses boot- and palm-mounted repulsor beams, vibro-shock gauntlets, shoulder-mounted miniguns, a shoulder-mounted energy cannon, and wrist-mounted sonic emitters designed to separate symbiotes from their hosts. The Virus Armor is powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with Venom and even severely injure him; and its armaments are powerful enough to breach the defences of the Maker's fortified base of operations - which the evil Reed Richards boasted could withstand an assault from an army - with minimal-to-no damage.; ===Defensive Powers===; Due to its jury-rigged nature, the armor appears to possess substandard defense capabilities compared to other suits of War Machine and Iron Man armor; being seemingly held together in places by duct tape. Despite this, it was still functional after being repeatedly punched, bitten, clawed, and blasted through a skyscraper by a powerful energy beam over the course of a fight with Venom; though a beating from a team of symbiote Avengers left it severely damaged. History: Desperate for revenge against Venom for ruining his life, Mac Gargan purchased a suit of Mark III War Machine Armor and an array of weapons from the Tinkerer. Jury-rigging the armor for the express purpose of killing symbiotes, Gargan painted it black-and-gold in mockery of the Venom symbiote's customary appearance.; Calling himself Virus, Gargan ambushed and nearly killed Venom in an alleyway - using his armor's sonic emitters to separate Eddie Brock from his symbiote before crushing his ribcage. However, the enraged Venom symbiote disabled his armor's energy cannon, forcing Gargan to retreat using an old Goblin Glider. Later, Gargan followed Venom to the Maker's secret base and used his armor - as well as a stockpile of Pumpkin Bombs - to breach its defences and attempt to kill Venom once more, pursuing Venom through an interdimensional portal.; Transported to an alternate dimension conquered by symbiotes, Gargan's armor was severely damaged during his second rematch with Venom, followed by a brutal beatdown from a team of symbiote Avengers. Stripped from Gargan, the armor was destroyed by Codex in a fit of rage, though parts of it remained intact and were used to obtain the schematics for the chronal gateway. After Gargan was sent to kill Eddie with a new symbiote, he was defeated eventually led him and his crew to defeat Codex, turning on both of them when decided to recover his repaired armor to kill Eddie, knowing he would send him to prison later. Exploiting a critical design flaw in the War Machine armor, Earth-1051's Reed Richards destroyed his armor with an electromagnetic pulse.; The armor was later rebuild for the reformed Dylan to use in assisting his mother in their fight against the empowered Carnage Symbiote, but was destroyed again during their confrontation. ============================================================ Vishanti Spell of Communication Kind: item Page: Vishanti Spell of Communication Formal name: Vishanti Spell of Communication Type: Spell First appearance: New Avengers Vol 2 32 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Carlos Pacheco Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Vishanti Current owner: Doctor Strange History: The Vishanti Spell of Communication is a spell that allows for long-distance communication by creating the projected image of a person. It is detailed in Appendix 6 of the Book of the Vishanti. ============================================================ Visi-Phone Kind: item Page: Visi-Phone Formal name: Visi-Phone Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 90 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Lead designer: Mister Fantastic Current owner: Fantastic Four History: The Visi-Phone was a device created by Mister Fantastic, which allowed the user to visually call someone with the other Visi-Phone. He used it so he and the Fantastic Four could communicate with Alicia Masters and baby Franklin. ============================================================ Virus (SEAR) (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Virus (SEAR) Formal name: Virus Type: Virus First appearance: Ultimate Hawkeye Vol 1 1 Created by: Jonathan Hickman Reality: Earth-1610 Origin: Genetically engineered virus Lead designer: SEAR scientists Place of creation: Bangkok, SEAR Current owner: South East Asian Republic (SEAR) History: The virus, genetically engineered by SEAR scientists, was designed to eliminate the mutant gene from Earth. ============================================================ Vril (Force) Kind: item Page: Vril (Force) Formal name: Vril Type: Power Source First appearance: Marvel Graphic Novel Vol 1 42: Conan of the Isles Created by: L. Sprague de Camp; Lin Carter; Roy Thomas; Mike Mayhew Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Essence of the "Dark King", an Old One Previous owners: Atlantis; Antillia; Shark Men; Daedikaron Properties: Vril enabled ships to fly, such as the Atlantean flying ships of the priests of Xotli or the Thule Society's and Shark Men's Hell-Carrier, as well as other means of transport such as Daedikaron's Orichalcum Wings.; Daedikaron crafted the synthetic man Tros of Kamothrake from clay and Vril.; Power Bestowal: Much like a principality, the name of Vril could be invoked for spells: Doctor Strange was able to perform transmigration through singularity to escape the plane of the Vishanti by invoking the name of Vril, among others. Notes: Vril was created by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter in Conan of the Isles (October, 1968), adapted in Marvel Graphic Novel Vol 1 42: Conan of the Isles (1988). Trivia: Lin Carter created a similar concept, the Urlium, a gravity-free material who enabled the Nemedis to fly in Thongor and the Wizard of Lemuria (1965), and first appeared in-comics in Creatures on the Loose Vol 1 24 (July, 1973). The in-universe relation between the two, if any, is unknown. History: ===Origins===; The Vril was a kind of anti-life force that dates back millennia, and was described as "pure evil" and the "essence" of the "Dark King", an Old One worshiped since the world's first epochs by the Shark Men.; ===Pre-Cataclysmic Age===; In Atlantis, during the Pre-Cataclysmic Age, Vril was a mysterious force used to enable ships to fly.; ===Great Cataclysm===; During the Great Cataclysm, the priests of Xotli and their slaves used a mighty fleet of flying ships powered by Vril to flee from Atlantis to Antillia, where they subdued the brown-skinned natives.; ===Hyborian Age===; By the Age of Conan circa 10,000 BC, the secret of Vril had been lost by the Antillians, and Ptahuacan's dragon-ships were mere imitations of the Atlantean ships.; In Hyboria, Daedikaron crafted his wings from Orichalcum treated with Vril, and crafted the synthetic man Tros of Kamothrake from clay and Vril. Vril was extremely difficult to find or obtain in those days.; ===World War II===; Presumably during World War II, the legendary "Hell-Carrier" was created, seemingly by either or both the Thule Society and Shark Men, worshipers of the Dark King and allies of the Thule Society. The Hell-Carrier was powered by Vril.; When the Shark Men were defeated, by Namor while helping Japan on the Pacific theater, they fled down to their "sunken city", the Hell-Carrier, waiting with a collision course with Honolulu, though this final mission was never enacted. The Hell-Carrier remained there, mostly submerged at coordinates "47°9′S 126°43′W for decades.; ===Modern Age===; In order to escape the plane of the Vishanti, who intended to enlist him in the War of the Seven Spheres, Doctor Strange performed transmigration through singularity by invoking the names of Einstein, Bohr, Stephen Hawking, the Seraphim, Vril, and Munipoor.; During the Serpent crisis, the Shark Men and the Hell-Carrier resurfaced and were opposed by a group of young heroes composed of X-23, Spider-Girl, Power Man, and Thunderstrike, assembled by Amadeus Cho who had studied the threat of the Hell-Carrier. As the Hell-Carrier took off, heading to finish its World War II final mission and crash into Honolulu, but the heroes fought off the Shark Men. X-23 and Power Man pierced the Hell-Carrier's hull, allowing Power Man to unload his remaining Chi into the Vril, causing the destruction of the Hell-Carrier. ============================================================ Void Eater Armor (Earth-38264) Kind: item Page: Void Eater Armor (Earth-38264) Formal name: Void Eater Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers (video game) Created by: Shaun Escayg; Morgan W.

History: This War Machine Armor was built by Tony Stark for Jim Rhodes, presumably following the duo's take-down of Source Control. Rhodey first debuted it while helping Iron Man investigate the murder of Zhong Wei.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular War Machine Armor, including enhanced strength and durability, and flight. Among its weaponry, the armor featured acid rounds. ============================================================ Vishanti Spell of Offensive Fires of Non Kind: item Page: Vishanti Spell of Offensive Fires of Non Formal name: Vishanti Spell of Offensive Fires of Non Type: Spell First appearance: New Avengers Vol 2 17 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Mike Deodato Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Offensive spell Lead designer: Vishanti Current owner: Doctor Strange History: The Vishanti Spell of Offensive Fires of Non is a spell transcribed in the Book of the Vishanti on page 234. To be able to cast it, a magician have to have been exposed to the gaze of the entity known as Non.; Doctor Strange used it against the robot Ultimo, when, controlled by the A.I.M.'s scientists, at that time allied to Norman Osborn's H.A.M.M.E.R., stormed Stark Resilient Satellite Laboratories. ============================================================ Wand of Wutevar Kind: item Page: Wand of Wutevar Formal name: Wand of Wutevar Type: Wand First appearance: Immortal Thor Vol 1 1 Created by: Al Ewing; Martin Coccolo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of destruction: Bifrost Current owner: Loki Previous owners: Collector (allgedly) Material: Driftwood Notes: The wand's name is a homophone of "whatever." History: Loki claimed that he found the Wand of Wutevar in the Collector's collection and that it was full of "mystery magic" from the Elders of the Universe. He used it to repair the Bifrost and the wand snapped in half in the process. However, the "wand" was apparently whittled driftwood and it is not clear how much of Loki's story was true, if at all. ============================================================ Virus X Kind: item Page: Virus X Formal name: Virus X Type: Bacteriological weapon First appearance: Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 81 Created by: Tom DeFalco; Ron Wilson Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: MODOK Place of creation: Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: A.I.M.

It allows for wireless, long distance communication in an era when such technology was unheard of in most of the world, thus demonstrating Wakanda's technological superiority. The device can be operated with two switches and can send short messages. It is unclear if the device can also act as a receiver.; The device is only briefly seen once when Odysseus' has just informed his army about the Trojan Horse and B'kai, sure he will get into the city this time, quickly sends a message to his fellow Wakandan that he hopes to get Helen of Troy's Pendant soon. ============================================================ Wakandan Healing Spray (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Wakandan Healing Spray Formal name: Wakandan Healing Spray Type: Medical tool First appearance: Eyes of Wakanda Season 1 1 Created by: Marc Bernardin Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: Wakanda Current owner: B'kai Previous owners: Lion History: This Healing Spray was one of the tools used by B'kai during his ten year mission in the Trojan War.; It is unknown what exactly the spray is made of.

History: The Vishanti's Light of Illumination is a spell transcribed in the Book of the Vishanti on page 3.; During an attack carried out against operatives of H.A.M.M.E.R., Mockingbird was critically wounded by sniper fire. After attempting to stabilize her using the Teresing Boost Spell of Health, Doctor Strange cast Vishanti's Light of Illumination in order to evaluate the severity of her injuries and determine her condition. The spell allowed Strange to inspect the extent of the damage after his healing efforts and assess whether further treatment would be necessary. ============================================================ Visi-Screen Kind: item Page: Visi-Screen Formal name: Visi-Screen Type: Surveillance device First appearance: Thor Vol 1 127 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Place of creation: Asgard Previous owners: Odin Properties: Used by the All-Father, the Visi-Screen allows him to observe and, in some cases, record events occurring across vast interstellar distances.

Polly marketed this product on her private Instagram account and would post videos of her trying on her products. She'd amassed a substantial following before eventually a woman named Clara DM'd her and told her that she'd had the products tested since there was no FDA information on them and said she'd discovered human remains from multiple people in them. She threatened to turn this information over to the authorities unless Polly could confirm this was some kind of mistake and that'd she take the products off the market until they look into it. Polly then was able to find Clara's home address through her Instagram photos and blackmail her into staying silent. ============================================================ Vishanti Spell of the Spiritual Kind: item Page: Vishanti Spell of the Spiritual Formal name: Vishanti Spell of the Spiritual Type: Spell First appearance: New Avengers Vol 2 32 Created by: Brian Michael Bendis; Carlos Pacheco Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Doctor Strange Properties: The Vishanti Spell of the Spiritual is a mystical spell used to restore a person's memories of events connected to the mystical realm.

On contact with air, the long-chain polymer knits and forms an extremely tough, flexible fiber with extraordinary adhesive properties.; The web fluid's adhesive quality diminishes rapidly with exposure to air. (Where it does not make such contact with air, such as at the attachment disk of the web-shooter, it remains very adhesive.) After approximately 1 hour, certain imbibed esters cause the solid form of the web fluid to dissolve into a powder.; At one time, Peter sought to sell the formula for webbing to make money, but the company to which he tried to sell it did not want it, not seeing the use for such a short-lasting glue. When Otto Octavius took over Peter's body, he modified the webbing to make it last far longer than Peter's and made it much stronger, to the extent that it became bullet-proof.; Peter would later learn of the improved webbing; after he had reclaimed his body, he was forced to make web underwear due to circumstances and, when it refused to dissolve after the usual hour, he was forced to wear pants instead of his costume's trousers until Anna Maria showed him where the new solvent was.; Because the fluid almost instantly sublimates at its anaerobic liquid/solid phase transition point there is no clogging of the web-shooter's parts, if the shooters are inspected and cleaned.; Spider-Man also developed his webbing to easily resist temperatures of 550°C (1000°F). For extreme cases, he has developed a webbing that can resist temperatures of up to 5500°C (10 000°F).; ===Specialized Web Cartridges===; Ice Webbing was created specifically to combat the Human Torch. This webbing was able to hold him temporarily until he concentrated on burning at a higher temperature. Spider-Man subsequently discovered that his standard webbing was able to accomplish the same feat, though in a less flashy manner. Presumably, this is why he rarely used this variant.; Acid Webbing was concocted after a string of murders led to William Baker, the Sandman. Peter concocted special webbing laced with hydrochloric acid, which could dissolve the individual granules of the Sandman's body. It proved successful in incapacitating him but not killing him, as Peter stated that he was not sure if anything could really kill him. Because the webbing looked the same as his original formula, Peter placed it into a green cartridge instead of the usual grey. He has also used this type of webbing as early as his initial encounters with the Rhino.; Taser Webbing generates a bio-electric current within its semi-liquid substance; Impact Webbing are Web-Pellets that, upon impact, release tendrils that ensnare the target. This variant was created by Benjamin Reilly, the Scarlet Spider. Ben would later change the formula, lacing it with molecular acid. It could burn through steel and krakoan wood.; Magnetic Webbing is a variation of Spider-Man's original web-formula, with magnetized particles that will interfere with any remote-control frequencies.; Lead-Lined Webbing is a variation of Spider-Man's original web-formula, with lead-like properties, allowing Spider-Man to contain radioactive materials safely.; Flame Webbing is useful against Symbiotes. When Spider-Man fires it, his web-shooters eject a highly combustive chemical solvent from the ports, that will burst into flames upon contact with the intended target when entrapped in enough fluid.; Sonic Disruptors are useful against Symbiotes, and for the disruption of non-solid objects. When Spider-Man fires either, his web-shooters eject condensed sound frequencies in the direction of its intended target.; Expanding Web-Foam is webbing that becomes foam once it comes out of the web-cartridge.; Micro-Coiled Z-Metal are metallic-like strips that generate a bio-electric current, similar to that of a taser, to stun opponents temporarily. Peter has nicknamed this variant his "Bug Zappers."; Quick-Drying Web-Cement dries instantly in contact with any surface and is capable of stabilizing weak structures. Also known as "Concrete Webbing."; ===Specialized Voice Commands===; Web Barrage automatically fires off multiple web bullets in rapid succession. If the words "full spread" are added, the range of the web bullets would increase.; Wide Net instantly fires a large amount of webbing, in the shape of a net.; Recoil Strand causes the webbing, and its intended target, to knock-back in the direction of the web-shooters.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; On Earth-65, Janet Van Dyne gave Gwen Stacy (Spider-Woman) web-shooters that used moisture from the air to make an advanced web-fluid, which meant that as long as moisture was present, she never had to manually replenish the web-cartridges. She could form web lines, nets, and globs, along with more advanced shapes like web-wings and giant web-corn dogs.; Spider-Gwen Vol 2 1; On Earth-358, Peter Parker's Web-Shooters were visually similar to the Spider Bracelet.; MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls; On Earth-1048, Peter Parker improved upon his Web-Shooters, making them more compact and able to hold more web-fluid. The design has a means to fire 3 individual strands from the chrome spinneret, which then twists each line into a long, flexible and strong line for web swinging, but also able to fire singular projectiles, as well as a spray for entrapping.; Marvel's Spider-Man; On Earth-1610, Peter Parker successfully create a high pressure launching system to fire the adhesive "webbing" based on his father's incomplete formula for molecular adhesiveness. On his sixteen birthday, Tony Stark redesigned Peter's web-shooters as a gift. Peter's successor, Miles Morales was given Peter's web-shooters by Peter's Aunt May. A year later, Miles was given a new pair by Jessica Drew designed by S.H.I.E.L.D..; Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 1 6; On Earth-8351, Peter Parker became an assassin working alongside Wolverine. He modified his web-shooters, allowing them to fire bullets and impact webbing.; What If? Spider-Man Vs. Wolverine Vol 1 1; On Earth-9602, Spider-Boy was given a special pistol that fired strands of synthetic webbing.; Spider-Boy Vol 1 1; On Earth-12041, Spider-Man is given the next Gen Web-Shooters by Nick Fury that was developed by Curt Conners, upon his recruitment into S.H.I.E.L.D thus replacing his first models Web-Shooters. These new Web-Shooters have a Holographic scope for aiming, a Camou-Mode to turn invisible as well as a Crossbow Mode. Not only do they shoot out enhanced webbing, but these also shoot Taser-Webs to stun foes and Flash-Webs to blind his enemies.

Two years later Peter upgraded his web-shooters.; The Amazing Spider-Man; On Earth-199999, the first model of web-shooters was created by Peter Parker. Later Tony Stark provided him with an even more advanced model along with a better suit (Spider-Man suit). The second model even had a Spider-Man's Spider-Signal.; Captain America: Civil War; On Earth-TRN604, Web-Slinger created his version of Web-pistol-like devices that were capable of shooting a special web fluid, this model resembles that of revolvers.; Return to the Spider-Verse, Part 2; On Earth-51838, Peter Parker created an updated version of his Web-Shooters using his resources at Parker Industries.

This could mean that Spider-Man's Web-Shooters were unknowingly based on Neith's magical bracers. Trivia: } History: After a radioactive spider bit Peter Parker, injecting its irradiated venom into his bloodstream and giving him its powers in the instant of its own death, Peter realized that he had in effect become a human spider - "Spider-Man".; Peter decided that Spider-Man was nothing without a web, thus he invented the wrist-worn devices he called his "web-shooters".; Initially meant to be tools of the professional stuntman's trade, Peter had initially hoped to pursue, they have instead become his chief weapons as a crusading adventurer since after he came to believe that he could have prevented the murder of his uncle, Benjamin Parker, his reluctant abandonment of those professional ambitions in favor of the unpaid work of fighting crime, which he pursues on the principle that "with great power, there must also come--great responsibility".; Sophisticated enough to be useful to Reed Richards, the web-shooters have remained the same throughout most of Spider-Man's career. When he was transformed and given organic web-shooters, Peter modified his mechanical web-shooters into bracelets for Mary Jane Watson to wear. However, that seems to have been retconned after the events of One More Day and Brand New Day. Ben Reilly donned modifications of them that he wore outside the wrists of the costume's gauntlets and allowed him to fire other web-like projectiles. Spider-Girl wears her own versions of the web-shooters.; One of the few modifications Spider-Man has made to the web-shooters is a red LED light, that will blink and let him know when he is about to run out of web fluid. Another upgrade is a small launcher on the back of the hand, which allows him to fire off his spider-tracers. In recent years, he has modified the shooters to fire on voice-command.; ===Creation Of the shooters and Spider-Man's webs===; Spider-Man's web-shooters are twin devices, which he wears on his wrists beneath the gauntlets of his costume, that can shoot thin strands of a special "web fluid" (the chemical composition of which is not known, but which is described--see below--as being a "shear-thinning" substance) at high pressure. (Note: The fluid itself is officially described as being pressurized at 300 psi, but the actual number has been known to change.); The spinneret mechanisms in each web-shooter are machined from stainless steel, except for the turbine component, which is machined out of a block of Teflon, and the two turbine bearings, which are made of amber and artificial sapphire. The wristlets and the web-fluid cartridges, the latter of which Spider-Man wears on his belt beneath his costume's tunic, are mainly nickel-plated annealed brass. The wristlets have sharp steel nipples, which pierce the bronze caps when the cartridges are tightly wedged into their positions.; The hand-wound solenoid-needle valve on each web-shooter is actuated by a palm switch; this, in turn, is protected by a band of spring steel which requires a 65-pound pressure to trigger it. The switch of each is situated high on Spider-Man's palm to avoid most unwanted firings. An additional safety measure, to prevent misfires while Spider-Man is making a fist or carrying things, is that the trigger has to receive a double-tap from Spider-Man's middle and third fingers. The small battery compartment is protected by a rubber seal.; The effect of the very small turbine pump vanes is to compress (shear) the web fluid and then force it, under pressure, through the spinneret holes, which cold-draws it (stretches it: the process wherein nylon gains a four-fold increase in tensile strength), then extrudes it through the air, where it solidifies.; As the web fluid exits the spinneret holes, it is attracted to itself electrostatically, and thus can form complex shapes. The spinneret holes have three sets of adjustable, staggered openings around the turbine which permit a single, incredibly strong line; a more complex, spreading spray; and a thick, tremendously adhesive liquid.; The web line's tensile strength has been estimated to be 120 pounds per square millimeter of the cross-section. The 300 p.s.i. pressure in each cartridge is sufficient to force a stream of the complex web pattern an estimated 60 feet. (It goes significantly farther if Spider-Man shoots it in a ballistic parabolic arc.); Peter Parker (Earth-616) from Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 1 002.jpg|thumb|right|Spider-Man's Web Uses.; Peter Parker (Earth-616) from Spider-Man Vol 1 26.jpg|thumb|right|Spider-Man's Other Web Uses.; Peter Parker devoted many hours of practice to weaving his webs in many different ways: as a shield, a parachute, a safety net, a barrier, skis, a raft, a club, a ball, or "plain, simple, sticky glue." He could also make web wings that allow him to glide through the air.; By weaving his webs into discs beneath his feet, he can walk across water, or fire. Given enough time, Spider-Man can even create sculptures out of his webbing, which will turn into a sticky mess on anyone who takes a swing at them.; One of Peter's problems with his web-shooters is getting them past metal detectors. At one point, he had to disassemble them and put the components amongst his camera equipment to get through airport security. As a result, he contemplated making them out of another material. ============================================================ Warp Cloak Kind: item Page: Warp Cloak Formal name: Warp Cloak Type: Cape First appearance: Marvel Spotlight Vol 1 33 Created by: David Kraft; Rich Buckler; Mike Nasser; Arvell Jones Origin: Magical Current owner: Devil-Slayer Properties: The cloak contains a small dimensional aperture, allowing limited teleportation.

Jack felt compelled to snatch the Werewolf Rings for himself. When he arrived at the house on Moonrise Hill, Jack discovered that the Werewolf Rings let him transform into his wolf form outside the full moon and maintain his human mind. With this advantage, he was able to defeat Baron Thunder and rescue Lissa.; Lieutenant Hackett went to Geraldo Kabal for answers about the mysterious ring he was given from Joshua Kane's estate. Kabal revealed that Kane's trunk and everything in it originally belonged to Mad Monk Aelfric and only the copy of the Darkhold in it was missing. Kane suggested Hackett get one of the two rings from the trunk because it suited his nature. When Hackett learned that Jack took the other ring, he put his on, transformed into a werewolf, killed Kabal, and ran off to find Jack. ============================================================ War Machine Armor MK I (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor MK I (Earth-199999) Formal name: War Machine Armor Other aliases: War Machine; Iron Man MK II; Variable Threat Response Battlesuit Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Iron Man 2 (film) Created by: Justin Theroux; Adi Granov; Ryan Meinerding Reality: Earth-199999 Origin: An upgraded version of the Iron Man MK II armor with Hammer-Tech weaponry Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Justin Hammer Place of creation: Stark Industries Current owner: James Rhodes Previous owners: Tony Stark Model: 1 Version: 2 Notes: This armor was designed by Phil Saunders.; Originally, this armor was planned to appear in the first Iron Man film, being the Iron Man Armor MK IV, which would've been used by Tony Stark in the movie's final battle sequence, and would have been weaponized swap-out parts that would be worn over the original MK III armor.; If Justin Hammer really did include all of the firearms he proposed for the suit, armaments would be: A 9-mm high tech pistol, a sub-machine gun, an M24 shotgun, an FN2000 assault rifle, a 40-mm Melkor grenade launcher, and the 7.62-mm Minigun. Trivia: The suit was only meant for Stark and was never calibrated for Rhodes; Tony explained that Rhodes was lucky that the suit "didn't give [him] a heart attack." History: The first appearance of this armor was in the form of Tony Stark's Iron Man MK II armor, where it proved to be successful as a prototype design for the later (and more public) series of Iron Man armors. In its initial form, it was capable of high velocity flight, and protected its wearer from the stresses of such high speeds. Limitations of the MK II armor included a freezing problem at high altitudes and power supply issues, which soon resulted in the MK II armor being mothballed in favor of more advanced designs.; Some time later, James Rhodes arrived to witness Stark's drunken antics at a party at Stark's residence. Reacting to the danger posed by his drunken friend — who was wearing the newer MK IV at the time — Rhodes retreated to Stark's private workshop and donned the MK II armor. Returning to the upper level, Rhodes then challenged Stark to refrain from further abuse of the armor's power. Stark refused, prompting the pair to engage in a lengthy duel that tore apart significant portions of Tony Stark's mansion. In the wake of the conflict, and with the two combatants separated, Rhodes then departed, still in possession of the MK II Iron Man armor.; Bringing the armor to an Edwards Air Force Base, Rhodes promptly turned it over to the U.S. Military for further investigation. While it granted greatly enhanced physical capabilities to its wearer, it also lacked the weapons capabilities of Stark's more recent Iron Man armors. In a bid to turn the armor over to combat applications, the military called on the talents of arms manufacturer, Justin Hammer, a long-time rival of Tony Stark's. Hammer was granted access to the MK II in order to upgrade it with various weapon systems, although Rhodes also had the foresight to remove the valuable arc reactor power source before Hammer touched the suit, thus denying the entrepreneur any access to the secret of Iron Man's power.; With the upgrades in place, the confiscated MK II armor made its next appearance in a public unveiling at an expo along with Justin Hammer's new force of "Hammer Drones". In this form, the armor had been rechristened "War Machine", and now sported a comprehensive array of Hammertech weaponry grafted onto the Stark-designed frame, as well as a new black and silver paint job with U.S. Air Force markings. In addition to the base systems, the armor's new weapons compliment included various external pods containing various projectile and missile weapons.; Unbeknownst to all parties, Hammer's new designer, Ivan Vanko, had compromised the War Machine armor's computer systems; with Rhodes helpless to intervene, he was able to commandeer the suit to launch an attack on Tony Stark. The ensuing battle tested the War Machine armor to the limits of its flight capability, even to the point where it proved capable of almost matching pace with Stark's Iron Man MK VI armor.; The battle between the two Stark armors ended once control was externally restored to James Rhodes, and he and Stark then joined forces to destroy the remaining active drones. They then faced Ivan Vanko, now encased in his own battle suit. The War Machine's externally mounted weapons were quickly destroyed in Vanko's onslaught, and a shoulder mounted Hammertech "ex-wife" rocket failed completely and comically. Stark and Rhodes were only able to defeat their adversary by firing their gauntlet repulsors at each other, causing a highly volatile explosion to engulf Vanko's armor.; After the battle, Rhodes asked his best friend if he could keep the armor since his car had been destroyed, which Stark jokingly refused. Then Rhodes departed with the armor into the skies.; Rhodes later returned the armor to Stark, who got rid of any trace of Hammer tech and reverted this armor back to its MK II form, giving Rhodey a new and better version of the War Machine Armor.; ==Abilities, Weapons, and Equipment==; Ballistic: A 7.62-mm minigun is attached to the back of the suit on a swivel mount and typically fires over the right shoulder. It is governed by an automated targeting system and can track targets independently of the suit's wearer, including those targets to the rear. The ammunition feed for this weapon is a belt feed from the rear torso. The armor's vambraces each mount an underslung submachinegun.; Repulsors: Conceptualized to provide flight stabilization to control the thruster boots, the strength of the War Machine gauntlet repulsors are not weapons-grade.; Rocket: A box rocket launcher mounted over the left shoulder holds a Hammer-tech bunker busting rocket that Hammer and Rhodes both referred to as the "Ex-Wife". When Rhodes attempted to fire the weapon, it failed to detonate, simply bouncing harmlessly off its target.; Thrust: The armor's enhanced jet boots can propel War Machine through the air at high speed. ============================================================ Water of Life Kind: item Page: Water of Life Formal name: Water of Life Type: Drug First appearance: Thor Vol 1 381 Created by: Walter Simonson; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Norns Place of creation: Nornheim Previous owners: Norns; Balder History: In Asgard, Kevin and Mick gave the water of life to Balder which revived him. ============================================================ Watchwraiths Kind: item Page: Watchwraiths Formal name: Watchwraith Type: Robot First appearance: Rom Vol 1 16 Created by: Bill Mantlo; Sal Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Dire Wraith History: Watchwraiths were synthezoids that were covered in bullet-resistant; armor. They were created and used by the Science Wraiths (the science-using males of the Dire Wraith race). Several cables ran to an armored powerpack in the back. The robots were approximately 10 ft tall and they were designed to be the Science Wraiths'; assassins, guards, and sentinels. Each hand had four digits and a palm nozzle that fired plasmifire, a napalm like gel. Concussive blasts were delivered via eyebeams fired from their cyclopean eye. The robots possessed superhuman strength, being able to lift cars.; When not active, the robots rested on giant slabs. Watchwraiths were completely loyal to their masters and when reactivated, they searched for their creators. The robots were self-aware and communicated verbally with each other, lacking internal communication systems. Watchwraiths walked slowly, could neither fly or swim, and they were vulnerable to cold attacks. ============================================================ Wedding Band of Loki Kind: item Page: Wedding Band of Loki Formal name: Wedding Band of Loki Type: Ring First appearance: Thor Vol 1 483 Created by: Roy Thomas; M.C.

Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: A.I.M. Place of creation: Stark Industries Current owner: James Rhodes Previous owners: Eric Savin Model: 2 Version: 1 History: The War Machine Mark II was created by Tony Stark as a replacement for the original War Machine armor worn by his best friend, Col. James Rhodes. Stark had discovered that Rhodes's procurement of the War Machine helped serve as a buffer against the politicians and lawmakers who would see Stark's precious Iron Man suit technology turned over for military use, and opted to extend the idea of a loan to a new creation, properly designed and outfitted for military use.; Rhodes began taking on different missions for the Air Force, during which he found terrorists purporting to be members of the Ten Rings with Hammer-tech. He managed to defeat and rescue hostages from a small group of those terrorists in Hong Kong; this was a trap which pitted War Machine against a nuclear-powered Hammer tank. Rhodes managed to escape, and left for New York in order to help Tony in a "situation". When he arrived, he found Tony and the Avengers eating in a shawarma restaurant in the aftermath of the battle.; Although Stark's hardware was left intact, the software did undergo some alterations, courtesy of Advanced Idea Mechanics, a relative newcomer in arms manufacture. The War Machine was repainted in red, blue, and silver, and re-branded as "Iron Patriot" as part of the government's response to the emergence of the Avengers, wanting to show that America had its own superhero as opposed to the independent nature of the Avengers.; Col. Rhodes continued to use the armor on a number of missions for the United States government. One of his primary objectives was to investigate a series of terrorist bombings that had plagued the world for some time, but without even residual bomb fragments to track, he found himself flying around the globe chasing one false lead after another. During one of his attempts to apprehend the phantom bomber, he blasted into a small textile factory room, inadvertently freeing a number of enslaved women working there. One of them proved to be an Extremis-enhanced soldier, however, and she disabled the suit's systems with a surprise attack before Rhodes could react.; The Iron Patriot, with Rhodes still inside, was hauled before Aldrich Killian, head of A.I.M and mastermind behind the Extremis soldiers. Killian wanted the Iron Patriot for his own goals, and began torturing Rhodes until he was forced to exit its confines.; The Iron Patriot armor was next worn by Eric Savin, another Extremis soldier under Killian's command, who used it to infiltrate Air Force One, a U.S.A.F. passenger jet outfitted for presidential use. With the jet in transit, Savin overpowered the security team on board and captured President Ellis. He then forced Ellis into the Iron Patriot, which was subsequently used as a vehicle to transport Ellis back to Aldrich Killian.; Killian wanted to make a spectacular example of the president and Stark's armor, and strung them both up over an old Roxxon oil tanker that was rigged to explode, with cameras ready to capture the act. The plan was thwarted by the intervention of Tony Stark and Col. Rhodes, who acted in concert to overpower Killian and his men. Once Rhodes had freed the president, he released him from the suit and donned it himself, using it to fly them both to safety.; Some time after that, the armor was returned to its original paint scheme. During the fight against Ultron, S.H.I.E.L.D. deployed War Machine to fight against Ultron drones attacking the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. After Ultron was defeated, Rhodes joined the new Avengers when Tony took a leave of absence.; ==Abilities, Weapons, and Equipment==; Ballistic: The armor's weapon complement includes a ballistic cannon of Stark design mounted on the upper back, and a pair of smaller automatic fire weapons housed in the vambraces. The shoulder cannon is an independently targeted weapon guided by the suit's on board computer and can track targets to the rear of the suit's wearer.; Repulsors: Conceptualized to provide flight stabilization to control the thruster boots, the War Machine gauntlet repulsors also provide moderate offensive capability with adjustable power output.; Thrust: The armor's enhanced jet boots can propel War Machine through the air at supersonic speed.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Issue; War Machine got a brand new suit and a brand new look as the Iron Patriot!; Marvel Super Hero Squad Online ============================================================ Web-Pistol (Earth-9602) Kind: item Page: Web-Pistol Formal name: Web-Pistol Other aliases: Web-Shooters Type: Firearm; Technology First appearance: Spider-Boy Vol 1 1 Created by: Karl Kesel; Mike Wieringo Reality: Earth-9602 Place of creation: Project Cadmus Current owner: Pete Ross Previous owners: Mig-El Gand Alternate owners: Donald MacGargan (Earth-1740); Patrick O'Hara (Earth-31913); Peter Parker (Earth-TRN604) Model: 1.0 Version: 1.0 Trivia: In the original designs of Spider-Man, he wielded a Web-Pistol instead of a Web-Shooter.; } History: ===Creation of the Gun, and Spider-Boy's Webs===; When Spider-Boy returned to Project Cadmus, he was given a special pistol made for him called a "web-shooter", which fires strands of synthetic webbing.; ===Web Fluid===; Web fluid is a shear-thinning liquid (virtually solid until a shearing force was applied to it, rendering it fluid) whose exact formula is unknown, but is related to nylon. On contact with air, the long-chain polymer knited and formed an extremely tough, flexible fiber with extraordinary adhesive properties. The web fluid's adhesive quality diminishes rapidly with exposure to air. (Where it did not make contact with air, such as at the attachment disk of the web-shooter, it remained very adhesive). After about 1 hour, certain imbibed esters cause the solid form of the web fluid to dissolve into a powder. ============================================================ Warlock's Eye Kind: item Page: Warlock's Eye Formal name: Warlock's Eye Type: Artifact First appearance: Thor Vol 1 129 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Previous owners: Harokin; Thanos Alternate owners: The Collector (Earth-TRN971); Odin (Earth-199999) Properties: Mind-Control Enchantment: The Warlock's Eye was able to cast powerful mind-controlling enchantments that very few can resist.; Hatred Inducement: Thanos used the Eye to disseminate hatred for the Phoenix through countless alien worlds.; Telepathic Undetectability: Thanos was able to use the Warlock's Eye to hide himself and those around him from Phoenix's telepathy. History: After Asgardia was destroyed, the weapons stored in Odin's vault were scattered across the realms. The Warlock's Eye landed on Earth's Thailand, where it was found by the Disciples of Cyttorak and taken to the Crimson Temple, planning to usher the world in a new glorious red age with it. Thor found the artifact and retrieve it, fighting and defeating the Juggernaut for it. Initially stored in Thor's boat with other recovered artifacts, he later moved the Warlock's Eye to the armory at Avengers Mountain.; The Warlock's Eye was later moved and guarded on Asgard, until it was stolen by the Dark God Perrikus. When Thanos joined the Galactic Council with the help of Perrikus, the Dark God provided him with the Warlock's Eye to help him propagate the paranoia against the Phoenix throughout the universe. The artifact also shielded Thanos from the Phoenix's telepathy, which allowed him to successfully hide from her. This left the Phoenix to recruit the help of several of her allies to help her track him down, and during the confrontation one of her friends, lady Sif, used her sword to pierce the Warlock's Eye, destroying it. ============================================================ Well of Life Kind: item Page: Well of Life Formal name: Well of Life Type: Structure First appearance: Silver Surfer Vol 3 72 Created by: Ron Marz; M.

History: The War Machine Drones are an army of armored suits piloted remotely by Jim Rhodes from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Archangel Helicarrier. Rhodes normally didn't operate more than ten units, as doing so induced him headaches and nosebleed.; The War Machine Drones were dispatched alongside the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Avengers after Illuminati member Amadeus Cho broke into S.H.I.E.L.D. Station: Golgotha to steal all of Tony Stark's computer files. Cho was able to escape from one drone by disrupting the A.I.'s communication system which caused it to shut down and slave to a secondary source.; In doing so the drone started to attack Captain Marvel and Hawkeye, but Danvers was able to quickly destroy it. The rest of the drones succeeded in cornering Cho so he could be captured by the Invisible Woman, who interrogated him on the whereabouts of the rest of the Illuminati.; The War Machine Drones were deployed later when the Illuminati were found in Spain. However, most of the suits were destroyed by the clandestine group of heroes. ============================================================ Wasabi's Battlesuit (Earth-14123) Kind: item Page: Wasabi's Battlesuit Formal name: Wasabi's Battlesuit Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Big Hero 6 (film) Created by: Don Hall; Jordan Roberts; Robert L.

The Web is connected to and attended by a class of supernatural entities called Spider-Totems. The purpose of the Web is to not only map out the multiverse but to also direct the destiny of humanity. Through chance, magic, curses, or luck, some spiders would go to bit individuals chosen by the Web to transform them into Human-Spider Hybrids who would maintain their native reality with their newfound powers. The Spider-Totems could take some of these individuals as their avatars until their death, at which point a new individual would be chosen to fulfill their role. Anyone can be connected to the Web as long as they contained spider DNA in their bodies, as was the case with the Spider-Queen and her spider monsters. Naturally occurring Spider-Totems that were cut from the Web by the Totem Dagger would be erased from existence or have their history rewritten to one in which they never obtained spider powers.; Because it is linked to the concept of destiny, the Web could grant certain individuals various forms of precognition and clairvoyance like in the case of Madame Web and the Spider-Men in the form of the "spider-sense." Besides that, the Web could also be used to affect realities. The Master Weaver could use the Web to open portals for individuals to go from one reality to another, and even detach some universes from the Web, and as a result from the multiverse, to isolate them into their own separate pocket universes, as was the case with Earth-77013. Another Spider-Totem by the name of the Patternmaker could manipulate the Web's threads and reforge them into something stronger like armor. A strand of the Web was used by Dr. Parker to cleanse Shathra of her venom and malice.; The Web itself has a mind of its own and could act on its own will. This consciousness was known as the Web-Heart, which was shown to be capable of transporting spider-powered individuals through realities. Because it was connected to the spiders, it could take control of them and force them to do its biding. Not all universes are connected to the Web, as Earth-6160 was just recently connected to it, likely due to that universe's Spider-Man having gotten his powers later in his prime. Notes: It's unknown if the members of the Galactic Alliance of Spider-Men, an organization of spider-powered alien individuals from across galaxies, are connected to the Web. History: ===Origins===; The Web of Life and Destiny was created on Earth-001 by Goddess Neith, daughter of Elder Goddesses Gaea and Oshtur. As a child, Neith begged her sister Shathra to play with her, but Shathra boasted that their mothers had tasked her with designing a celestial map of the multiverse. Shathra created the "Great Nest", but Neith noted to her sister that she was overthinking the assignment, and created her own design in the form of a web. Their mothers were unimpressed by Shathra's design and offered Neith the opportunity to try her hand at the task. Neith created the Great Web to chart humanity's destiny, also creating spiders to repair, maintain, and expand it, as she sought more time to herself, while Shathra dismissed her sister's creation as too chaotic and disorganized.; Oshtur and Gaea were greatly impressed by Neith's Great Web, showing off her creation to the other Elder Gods and nominating her as the shaper of the Multiverse. Neith only agreed on the condition that Shathra would not mind, and Shathra wished her well even though her own heart had become blackened with spite. By the time Neith finished building the Web of Life and Destiny, Shathra became so consumed by envy and hatred that she transformed herself into a wasp-like dark goddess, determined to one day have her spider-wasps take revenge on Neith and her spiders, and make her Great Nest a reality to supplant the Great Web. Shathra had her spider-wasps infect several of Neith's spiders, corrupting the very first strand of the Great Web and leaving it waiting for a future Spider to come by and unleash upon the Multiverse.; ===Spider-Totems===; The Web of Life and Destiny reached and touched all other realities as strands on the Web. Neith herself was the first Spider-Totem but not the last; her mystical, magical, genetically-engineered and radioactive Spiders would go on to bite chosen individuals on various Earths across the Multiverse, granting them Spider-powers and transforming them into totemic avatars who could navigate her Web. Not all Totems were equal, and some were unique and had special significance: these were The Bride, The Other, The Scion, The Patternmaker and The Master Weaver. These always existed somewhere across the Multiverse and would claim their avatars until their death; should the host later return to life these Totems would not come back, but claim new avatars. The Master Weaver sat the center of the Web and could view any strand of it, as well as send those they wished to any of those realities. Several other totemic spider deities also existed and were responsible for maintaining different aspects of the Web of Destiny. The true origins of the Great Web were eventually lost to time. Ezekiel Sims and the Ashanti tribe of Earth-616 claimed that the Great Web was first created by Kwaku Anansi.; The Symbiote Hive-Mind was formed by different versions of Knull, and it shared many inherent similarities to the Web of Life and Destiny. Both multiversal and expansive in nature, the Web-Heart and the Hive-Mind knew that conflict between them would be inevitable; despite this, they co-existed for many eons.; ===The Coming of Inheritors===; The Inheritors were the totems of the Leech, the lowest of all Human/Animal Hybrids and able only to parasite on the powers and life force of other Totems. Eventually they specialized in Spider-Totems to access the Web of Life and Destiny. To defeat the current Master Weaver, the clan mother and her offspring Bora, Verna, Brix, Daemos, Morlun, Jennix, and Karn attacked him at the center of the Great Web. But when Karn got a chance to strike, the Weaver revealed Karn had no pleasure with death and wished he could create and not destroy. Karn hesitated and his mother attacked the Weaver and was killed. While Karn was in shock, his father, Solus, arrived and subjugated the Master Weaver with his siblings. Karn was confined to wear a mask to hide his shame and became an outcast. Seeing that the Weaver's power could be used, the Inheritors used chains designed by Jennix to control the Master Weaver's power over the Web of Life Destiny in order to travel between dimensions and hunt all Human/Spider Hybrids in the Multiverse. They transformed Earth-001 into the Loomworld which would serve as their base which they would plunder the Multiverse.; ===Affecting the lives of Spiders===; Adriana Soria was able to produce a mutagenic enzyme that connected those infected to the Web of Life - and amplified the connections of those already linked to the Web - while simultaneously amplifying her own connection. Using a tissue sample of Peter Parker when he was mutated by this enzyme, Miles Warren engineered a "Spider-Virus" that was administered to the majority of Manhattan Island and transformed them into spider-monsters, empowering the Queen to the point where she hijacked the Web of Life and underwent a metamorphosis into a monstrous spider-like creature.; The Web of Realities appeared on the sky of Earth-12041, when The Goblin of Earth-TRN457 used the Siege Perilous which caused disturbances to the multiverse. The Siege was shattered by Miles Morales and spread across multiple realities. The Siege fragments began pulling themselves together along with the worlds they reside on, causing residences of each reality to be displaced into each other. The Madame Web of Earth-12041 conjured the Web of Realities to allow the Spider-Men of her world to find and restore the shards before the worlds collide in on each other.; With the last shard located on Earth-TRN457, Wolf Spider stole the fully restored Siege Perilous and used it to be able to construct the Great Web to ensnare and siphon off the energy and power of Spider Totems from across the multiverse. Spider-Man tricked Wolf Spider into taking his energy which allowed him to communicate with the other Totems on a spiritual plane where he encouraged them to fight back using their combined positive energy to overload and poison Wolf Spider and destroy him from the inside, thus freeing every Spider Totem.; ===The Totem War===; The Bride was for a long time locked way in an inpenetrable bunker on Earth-616 and was hidden from the Inheritors. But when she was finally released, Solus sensed it and declared a Great Hunt that would spell the end of all Spiders, everywhere. The Inheritors needed the Bride, The Other and The Scion to perform a ritual that would sever the connection of all Spiders to the Web of Life forever. The Inheritors would have the Master Weaver transport them to different realities where they would hunt down the local Spider-Totems and feed on their life force energies. A Spider-Army from different realities was assembled to oppose the Inheritors and despite them having all three Totemic Avatars at some point, their ritual was disrputed and the Inheritors were trapped on radioactive Earth-3145 with no way back. The Master Weaver himself was killed, and Karn took his place, realizing that the Master Weaver already was his older self due to the time-twisted nature of the Great Web.; ===Web Warriors===; After the Totem War was over, some Spiders stayed on Loomworld and formed the Web-Warriors to protect the Great Web as well as those worlds that lost their Spiders in the war. In his new role as Master Weaver, Karn initially struggled with untangling the Web, though he eventually managed to repair it. Pavitr Prabhakar also designed Dimensional Travel Watches for the Web-Warriors that allowed them to navigate the Web without directly asking Karn each time. During this time the Web of Life and Destiny was briefly hijacked by an army of Electros, and it was discovered that feedback from the portal devices the Web-Warriors were using was damaging the Web, causing dimensions to bleed into each other — though eventually both issues were resolved, and the Web was restored.; ===Timestream Entanglement===; When a clash between one reality's Doctor Doom and a 2099 counterpart from another reality had forced countless universes to collide in the Timestream Entanglement, the Web of Life and Destiny was destabilized. Relocated to a floating island above Tokyo 2099, dubbed "Spider-Island," Master Weaver sought to use the Chronovium to stabilize the Web and rule over this reality, but his protege, Spider-Zero, was against this as it required unneeded fights to produce more of that material, and instead believed that the problem could be fixed by transporting the Web to cyberspace. Namor found out about the Web and wished to destroy it in order to gain rulership of this reality. Both Spider-Man and Peni Parker attempted to fix the Web before Namor had the chance to destroy it, only for Jeff the Land Shark to betray Namor and take his trident filled with chronovium to plunge it into the Web. Imbued with chronovium and transported to cyberspace, the Web was fully restored, saving the timeline.; ===Spider-Geddon===; The Inheritors eventually found a way to escape their prison on Earth-3145 by resurrecting themselves in cloned bodies on Earth-616. Preparing to exact their vengeance upon the Spiders, they returned to Loomworld and killed Karn once again, while also obtaining the watches of several slain Spiders that enabled the Inheritors to once again navigate the Web at will. To try and stop their movement, Norman Osborn, Spider-Man of Earth-44145 blew up the Web of Life and Destiny, but not before cutting a piece of it for himself. This instantly disabled all Dimensional Travel Watches and allowed further multiversal travel only through mystical means. The Spiders eventually defeated the Inheritors again, this time resurrecting them as babies. Anna-May Parker of Earth-18119 was revealed as hitherto unknown avatar of Patternmaker and predicted that the Web of Life and Destiny would eventually be restored and that a new Master Weaver would emerge. This duty was eventually taken up by Spider-Zero. The Patternmaker herself was lost in the tangle of the Great Web itself, and Spider-Zero had Miles Morales gather up Spider-allies to find and rescue her.; ===End of Spider-Verse===; As Annie was doing repairs on the Great Web, she unknowingly touched the primordial strand which released Shathra to the present. Shathra send her spider-wasps along the Web to sting Spider-Totems, which would transform into her obedient servants. She was opposed by a small team led by Madame Web and Spider-UK, but their war against Shathra was a losing one, and she managed to convert, capture or kill almost all Spider-Totems in the entire Multiverse. The Inheritors faced her wrath as well, as her minions had all except Morlun killed, while Morlun himself found that the life force of all Spider-Totems he consumed has made him into one himself, just as Karn before him. Morlun reluctantly joined the Spider-Army, as Shathra's forces moved at her last goal: Earth-616 whose native Spiders were immune to the wasp-stings. To deal with them, Shathra gave her minion Spider-Man Noir the Totem Dagger that could entirely erase Totems from existence, severing their connection to the Great Web and causing them to unravel.; The Totem Dagger was used on Spider-Boy, Scarlet Spider, Spider-Woman and eventually Spider-Man himself. However, Peter Parker of Earth-616 was not fully erased but merely had his life rewritten so that he was never bitten by a Radioactive Spider. The remaining Spider-forces made a desperate infiltration of the Loomworld, during which Silk was revealed to be not the Bride of the Spiders, but their Queen - a Chosen One who could stand against Shathra. She stabbed Morlun with the Totem Dagger, releasing the life force of millions of Spider-Totems he consumed back into the Great Web, reweaving and reshaping it. Loomworld was blown apart, but the Web of Life and Destiny was stronger than ever, and all Spiders transformed into servants of Shathra had their transformation reversed. Shathra was blasted with the strand of the Great Web itself that Norman Osborn of Earth-44145 had preserved, shifting her into another place of existence and cleansing the rot she had accumulated over millennia. Neith herself then revealed her face to her Spider-Totems, gifting them an idol of herself that brought all erased Spiders from Earth-616 back to life as they were.; ===Destruction and recreation===; Following his arrival to the Battlerealm, Spot was driven insane by Kindred with nightmarish visions of the Web and Spider-Totems. Spot connected with Mister Negative and Doctor Octopus, who aided him in developing the Dimensional Extricate Catalyst to destroy the Great Web. Meanwhile, a Sorcerer Supreme version of Spider-Man detected that the Web was threatened and traveled to the Battlerealm to find the perpetrator. Spider-Man Supreme worked with the Summoner and another Spider-Man to track down leads that lead them to confronting Doctor Octopus in his lab, who revealed they were too late. Spot destroyed Web using the Catalyst in the time it took for the sorcerer Spider-Man to open a portal to him.; Although Spot was apprehended by the Summoner, the totemic avatars across the Battlerealm were weakened by the Great Web's destruction. In a moment of epiphany, Spider-Man Supreme declared that the Spider-Verse was better off without the Spider-Totems influencing their actions and began vehemently opposing any efforts to restore the Web. This sparked debates between the former totemic avatars on whether the Web and the Spider-Totems were ever beneficial to their lives. As a compromise, Silk suggested streamlining the Web of Fate by directly linking the totemic avatars together without the Spider-Totems. After agreeing to Silk's plan, Spider-Man Supreme began casting a spell to recreate the Web under those conditions when Kindred intervened in an attempt to hijack the process. Ultimately, Kindred was thwarted by the Summoner and the Web of Life and Destiny was restored without the Spider-Totems, granting the former totemic avatars freedom over their own destiny.; ===Targeted by the Sinister Squadron===; A variant of Aunt May that operated as Madame Web led the Sinister Squadron in targeting the Spider-Totems and the Web of Life and Destiny, wanting to destroy the Spider-Society due to disliking the apparent danger they present to the multiverse. It was mentioned by Web-Weaver to the spider-based heroes that avoided capture that he hid the Web of Life and Destiny. It was revealed that the Web of Life and Destiny was hidden on Earth-71490. After the Sinister Squadron members that came with Madame Web to Earth-71490 had defeated the spider heroes sent to procure it, Madame Web was told by an unidentified reality version of Vermin that the Web of Life and Destiny has been secured. Realizing that she was trying to make her members like her, the Green Goblin version of Gwen Stacy, that was a member of her group, threw May into the Web, apparently killing them both.; ===Spider-Verse vs Venomverse===; In time, the Web-Heart and the Hive-Mind came to the conclusion that one of them needed to be destroyed for the other to continue existing. To determine which would be the one to go, the Web-Heart and the Hive-Mind decided to organize a tournament in which their respective champions would battle and the victorious side would earn the right to live. The Web-Heart chose as its champions: Peter Parker of Earth-616; Miles Morales of Earth-2501, Zion Reilly of Earth-6201; Peter Porker of Earth-8311; and Peter Parker of Earth-72; while taking Cooper Coen of Earth-71490 and Takuya Yamashiro of Earth-51778 as reserve members. The Web-Heart and the Hive-Mind formed a large arena outside of the multiverse where each side would compete against the other in a course of three rounds.; In the first two rounds, the two teams were placed on the opposite edges of the arena where one team had to race to its respective temple on the other side in a limited amount of time. Both teams passed the two rounds, albeit each of them losing one of their members, with Team Spider losing Weapon VIII who got replaced by Web-Weaver and Takuya. Seeing that the participants weren't willing to fully commit to this contest as their victory would come at the cost of countless lives, the Web-Heart and the Hive-Mind reminded their champions that there was no other way and urged them to keep fighting. For the final round, the two teams were to directly fight against each other, and the last member to stand would bring victory to their team.; Despite the pressure, both sides eventually refused to keep fighting as all of them deserved to live. Disappointed by this act of disobedience, the Web-Heart and the Hive-Mind were undeterred and decided to bring in numerous other spider-totems and symbiote hosts to mind control into going to an all-out war. The teams were able to resist their masters' control by having the symbiotes bond to the spiders. While the symbiote-possessed spiders made sure the mind-controlled participants didn't harm each other, Eddie Brock of Earth-2250, who besides being bonded to the Venom symbiote had also received spider powers from a blood transfusion with Peter, went to reason with the Web-Heart and the Hive-Mind. The Web-Heart took control of 616 Peter and had him fight Eddie, but the latter was able to defeat him. Thanks to this, Eddie won the contest, but because he now belonged to both worlds the conflict remained unresolved. Eddie proposed another option, instead of bloodshed both the Web-Heart and the Hive-Mind could work together in their shared goal. The two beings agreed to this solution and chose Eddie to be their common emissary. With the conflict now over, the spiders and the symbiotes were allowed to go back home. ============================================================ Wasp's Suit Kind: item Page: Wasp's Suit Formal name: Wasp's Suit Type: Suit First appearance: Tales to Astonish Vol 1 44 Created by: Stan Lee; H.E. Huntley; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Designed by Hank Pym to allow Janet van Dyne to use Pym Particles to alter her size. Lead designer: Hank Pym Additional designers: Janet Van Dyne, Nadia Van Dyne Place of creation: Pym Labs Current owner: Janet Van Dyne; Nadia Van Dyne Previous owners: Dr. Henry Pym; Priya Aggarwal; C.R.A.D.L.E. Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable Properties: Size Reduction: The suit originally allowed Janet the ability to reduce herself in size, down to the dimensions of the insect from which she takes her name, roughly 1/2 inch in height. She usually chooses not to retain her standard density while at this reduced mass, but can choose to do so at will. The "lost" mass is shunted to a pocket dimension for later retrieval. Additionally, her strength was boosted while she is at reduced size, to the extent that she can bend a one-inch diameter steel bar almost double. Her size allows her to be easily unnoticed in most cases, allowing her to become stealthy in some cases. Over repeated exposure she was able to produce the Pym Particles internally.; Bio-Synthetic Wings: Due to small implanted insect wings, the Wasp could fly at incredibly fast speeds. These are functional when she reduced herself in height, and can remain so until reaching a height that is a nearly foot shorter than her normal height. Her flight speed can also allow her to gain a form of superhuman reflexes and agility, being able to easily evade targets and attacks.; Wasp's Sting: The Wasp could generate powerful bio-electric blasts from her hand that have been shown to be capable of cutting through high-density structures and is able to cause extreme pain to superhumanly strong and highly durable beings. At first they were part of her suit, but in time Pym internalized it so she could produce them herself.; Wasp Goggles: As the Wasp, Henry Pym wears a pair of specially designed goggles that enhanced his peripheral vision and could make video recordings of whatever he saw, they also contained a retinal scanner and analytical sensors, including devices that analyzed different kinds of energy, even magical energy, transmit his thoughts as radio frequencies to receiving radio equipment such as his Ant-Man helmet, and communicate with insects when not serving as eye protection. Notes: Like many costumes and equipment used by the heroes and villains of the multiverse, any appearance of the Wasp will feature an appearance of the Wasp Suit so not all appearances are listed.; During her early days as the Wasp, Janet would constantly alter her costumes for herself and wear different ones for almost every new mission. History: ===Janet Van Dyne, the winsome Wasp===; The original Wasp's suit was invented by Dr. Hank Pym for Janet Van Dyne after he recruited her to become his winsome crime-fighting partner. The purpose of the original costume was to regulate exposure to the size-changing Pym Particles, allowing the Wasp to shrink to insectoid proportions using gas vials in the costume. Although Van Dyne's body naturally adapted itself to contain the Pym Particles without the need of an external source, the costume can still be used to store an additional supply of them.; The costume was adapted to accommodate the synthetic wings that had been implanted on Van Dyne to enable flight as well as her antennae, which functioned similarly to Ant-Man's Helmet for communication with insect life. Subsequent versions of the Wasp's suit had their own version of the antennae built-in. Later on, Pym also added a wrist gun in the costume that fired compressed air, a rudimentary version of a "wasp's sting." The use of this device was eventually discontinued after the Wasp gained the ability of discharging bioelectricity from her own organism.; After becoming a member of the Avengers, the Wasp gradually started to implement her skills as a fashion designer to adapt her costume in creative ways. Throughout the years, dozens of vibrant and diverse versions of the Wasp costume were confectioned by Janet Van Dyne and they became exponents of superhero haute couture.; ===Hank Pym, the mighty Avenger===; Due to the apparent demise of Janet Van Dyne, Dr. Hank Pym adopted the identity of the Wasp to honor her memory. Similarly to his predecessor, Pym also had synthetic wings grafted onto his body that protruded from the costume. However, this version of the costume counted with other gadgets. With the costume, he wore goggles that allowed for communication and visual analysis. The suit also contained the Toolbot, a set of countless tools kept in microscopic size that could be activated through voice command, including image inducers, a sonic beam generator, and, most prominently, the "Stinger", a weapon which converted Pym's body energy into a bioelectric beam.; ===Nadia, the unstoppable Wasp===; Another version of the Wasp's suit was created by Nadia, a scientific genius and recruit from the Red Room program. Nadia is, in fact, the child of Pym and Maria Trovaya, the latter being kidnapped and declared dead before giving birth. After learning about her parenthood, Nadia deeply researched on Pym Particles and was able to acquire them in secrecy to escape the devious facility she had been kept in during her entire life. She visited her father's house, only to discover that he had seemingly perished in a battle with Ultron. Overcome with grief, she broke into his home, gaining access of his laboratory. By using his technology, Nadia created an all-new, all-different version of the Wasp's suit that counted with artificial wings.; Due to the Underage Superhuman Welfare Act being passed and outlawing superhero activity to those below twenty-one years of age, Nadia was arrested and had her suit confiscated by C.R.A.D.L.E.. It was recovered back after she was broken out of prison.; ===Other wearers===; Dr. Cecilia Reyes, a medical practitioner and mutant who had little affection for the superhero life, unwillingly joined the uncanny X-Men. When she was forced to go into action, she did not have a costume. The Wasp's former teammate in the Avengers, Beast, borrowed one of her flashy outfits for Dr. Reyes. The costume had no particular abiltities.; Fantasma, a mercenary who had been contracted by W.H.I.S.P.E.R. to torment both Janet and Nadia Van Dyne, the Wasps, wore a version of the original Wasp's suit in her attack over her armor. As part of her plan, Fantasma also hired a legion of unexperienced lackeys to assist her and provided each of them with a different version of the Wasp's suit, which replicated her insect-like wings.; Clear ============================================================ Wasps (Drones) (Earth-1610) Kind: item Page: Wasps (Drones) Formal name: Wasps Type: Drone First appearance: Ultimate Comics Ultimates Vol 1 15 Created by: Sam Humphries; Luke Ross Reality: Earth-1610 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Henry Pym Previous owners: West Coast Nation History: A series of robots designed by Hank Pym and advised by Modi to the leaders of the self-proclaimed West Coast Nation to suppress the number of refugees crossing the border. ============================================================ Webware Kind: item Page: Webware Formal name: Webware Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 4 1 Created by: Dan Slott; Giuseppe Camuncoli Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Peter Parker Place of creation: Parker Industries Current owner: Parker Industries History: Webware was a wrist device invented by Parker Industries, which allowed individuals who own it to have affordable internet access with clear reception and unlimited data anywhere on Earth. The device was virtually waterproof and is outfitted with a GPS similar to what Spider-Man uses on his Spider-Tracers. Peter's Webware was equipped with a special type of encryption that physically reconfigured its internal mechanisms through a nanotechnological computer that was very difficult to crack. An attempt by the Zodiac to do so ended up providing S.H.I.E.L.D. with the locations of all of their bases worldwide. Unfortunately, the system was eventually cracked by the organization.; The Webware system was ultimately shut down when Peter demanded that the Parker Industries, Shanghai Branch destroy everything to keep the Superior Octopus and Hydra from taking control of the company. ============================================================ War Machine Armor MK III (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor MK III (Earth-199999) Formal name: War Machine Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Captain America: Civil War Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Current owner: James Rhodes Model: 3 Version: 1 History: The War Machine Mark III was created by Tony Stark for James Rhodes some time after he became an official member of the Avengers.; Rhodes used this armor when arresting Steve Rogers, and again in a conflict between factions led by Rogers and Stark in Germany. The suit was hit by an energy beam that caused the complete shut down of all function while airborne and subsequently sustained severe damage upon impact with the ground.; ==Capabilities==; The Mark III War Machine is an improved version over the Mark II War Machine. Its weapons and repulsors are superior to those of its predecessor, and a taser nightstick row was added in the back.; Despite its durability, the Mark III War Machine still proved vulnerable to the shield attacks of Captain America, and ultimately succumbed to the destructive power of the Mind Stone.; ==Abilities, Weapons, and Equipment==; Machine Gun:; Missiles: The armor has formidable missiles equipped.; Stark Sonic Cannon: The armor was equipped with the Stark Sonic Cannon, capable of pummelling targets at close range with intense compressions and rarefactions of air.; Repulsors: The War Machine Armor MK III has repulsors in the chest and in the hands. ============================================================ Webs (Book) Kind: item Page: Webs (Book) Formal name: Webs Other aliases: Webs - Untangling a Life: A Memoir Type: Book First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 304 Created by: David Michelinie; Todd McFarlane Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Peter Parker Additional designers: Wiltonbooks; Daily Bugle Current owner: Wiltonbooks Alternate owners: Peter Parker History: Webs was a photobook created using photos of Spider-Man shot by Peter Parker for the Daily Bugle. ============================================================ War Stone (Earth-517) Kind: item Page: War Stone Formal name: War Stone Type: Infinity Stone First appearance: Marvel Contest of Champions Created by: Kabam Reality: Earth-517 Lead designer: Dormammu Place of creation: Battlerealm Current owner: Thanos Previous owners: Doctor Strange Properties: As evident by Deathless Thanos’ attacks, the stone exhibits similar properties to the power stone; the stone can be used to cast corrosive lightning bolts that are purple in color. History: The War Stone was a purple-colored Infinity Stone native to Battlerealm. It was created during a battle against Dormammu orchestrated by Doctor Strange. Soon after the War Stone's birth, the Mad Titan Thanos tried to take it from Dormammu; however, Doctor Strange, who had been investigating Thanos since he defeated the Maestro and vanished with another Infinity Stone, took it first. ============================================================ War Machine Armor MK IV (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor MK IV (Earth-199999) Formal name: War Machine Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Infinity War Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely; Phil Saunders Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Current owner: James Rhodes Model: 4 Version: 1 Trivia: This suit armor was designed keeping in mind the technological leap between the Iron Man MK XLVII and MK L, the reason it was conceived with a much more sophisticated stealth geometry and breakup of the form language, as well as a far more extensive array of weaponry than he had previously had. History: The suit was rebuilt and redesigned by Tony Stark after Rhodes was accidentally injured by Vision using the Mind Stone during the attempt to apprehend the Winter Soldier. A key detail of this new configuration was an exo-skeletal structure for the lower half of the suit, which allowed Rhodes to walk on his own despite the spinal damage he sustained in the destruction of the last suit. ============================================================ Wertham Stone (Earth-93060) Kind: item Page: Wertham Stone Formal name: Wertham Stone Type: Stone First appearance: Sludge Vol 1 12 Created by: Aaron Lopresti Reality: Earth-93060 Origin: Magical Current owner: Unnamed witch ============================================================ War Machine Armor Model 9 Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor Model 9 Type: Armor First appearance: Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 2 Created by: Dan Slott; Valerio Schiti Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Additional designers: Stark Unlimited Place of creation: Stark Unlimited HQ, New York City, New York Current owner: Jim Rhodes Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on an estimate of the number of models of the War Machine Armor that have existed.; In Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 17, Rhodes suits up in this armor. However, in the following issue, he is instead depicted wearing the War Machine Armor Model 8. He then returns to appear with the Model 9 in issue Tony Stark: Iron Man Vol 1 19. History: This War Machine Armor was built by Tony Stark for Jim Rhodes following both of them being returned from the dead. Rhodey used it when Iron Man brought him along to confront Sunset Bain for the construction of the Manticore. Due to the accumulated trauma he suffered while wearing an armor, Rhodey panicked and ejected from the suit. He then formally discarded his use of armor in favor of piloting the Manticore.; Despite Rhodey's reluctance to suit up again, Tony rigged the armor to hone in on the Manticore in case of emergency. Rhodey made use of this function in a battle against Ultron Pym, seeing himself forced to suit up when Iron Man had to retreat from the fight after his health was compromised due to being molecularly merged to his own armor. Rhodey used the suit to fight both Ultron and his army of cyborgs, though he later went back to using the War Machine Armor Model 8.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; This suit appears to possess the standard abilities of a regular War Machine Armor, including flight and enhanced strength. The armor additionally has a built-in chain gun on its left arm. Its systems were run by Motherboard. ============================================================ Watchr Kind: item Page: Watchr Formal name: Watchr Type: Technology First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 1 Created by: Nick Spencer; Ryan Ottley Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Empire State University Current owner: Empire State University History: Watchr was a bleeding-edge anti-plagiarism software that incorporated Cerebro technology designed by the Empire State University to fight the increasing issue of campus plagiarism. During its presentation, E.S.U. alumni Cindy Lawton passed Peter Parker's thesis through it, exposing that it had been plagiarized from Otto Octavius' work. In reality, Peter's body was under Octavius' control when he graduated from E.S.U., which meant the paper being plagiarized wasn't actually Peter's doing. However, he couldn't justify the accusations without revealing the truth, which cost him his academic credentials. ============================================================ Water-Breathing System Kind: item Page: Water-Breathing System Type: Technology First appearance: Civil War Vol 1 7 Created by: Mark Millar; Steve McNiven Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Atlantean; Lemurian Place of creation: Atlantis Current owner: Atlantean Army; Crosta Previous owners: Nara History: Most Atlanteans can only survive out of water for about 10 minutes without artificial aid. Therefore, when an Atlantean ventures into the surface world, they wear a sealed bubble helmet that covers their head and neck-gills. The helmet is designed to enable the wearer to see and breath normally. A small cylindrical backpack recycles and renews the water. The system enables the wearer to stay away from the water for days before they suffer ill effects. ============================================================ Web Bomb (Earth-1048) Kind: item Page: Web Bomb Formal name: Web Bomb Type: Grenade First appearance: Marvel's Spider-Man (video game) Created by: Jon Paquette; Benjamin Arfmann; Kelsey Beachum; Christos Gage; Dan Slott Reality: Earth-1048 Lead designer: Peter Parker Place of creation: Manhattan, New York City, New York Current owner: Peter Parker History: The web bomb was originally a discarded prototype by Peter Parker, with it's blueprint being forgotten on Peter's "Spidey Drive". When Peter was evicted from his house for not paying the rent, all of his belongings were thrown away, among them his Spidey Drive. After looking for the drive through the city's dumpsters, Peter used his mask interface to check if the drive was still working, noting again the forgotten blueprint among the archives. This made him go ahead with the project, thus creating the Web Bombs. ============================================================ War Machine Armor MK VI (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor MK VI (Earth-199999) Formal name: War Machine Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Endgame Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely; Phil Saunders; Rodney Fuentebella Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Tony Stark Place of creation: Stark Industries Place of destruction: New Avengers Facility Current owner: James Rhodes Model: 6 Version: 1 Notes: The word "canopy" works as a failsafe voice command to open the armor when the user is incapacitated. Trivia: This armor came about due to an issue that arose late into the post-production of Avengers: Endgame. Originally, War Machine was going to wear only one suit for the entirety of the movie (minus the prologue) which was bulky. During filming, an scene had been shot between Rhodes and Nebula, in which they shared an intimate moment of closeness. After shooting wrapped up, production realized the bulky armor would not fit as the actors were too close together. Phil Saunders was called in to design an additional slimmer suit for Rhodey to wear during the bulk of the film to solve that issue, and that armor became the War Machine Armor MK VI. The bulky suit was used only in the final battle of the film, and it became the MK V Armor. The scene that caused this issue ended up being cut from the film.; Phil Saunders only had one week to design this suit, and he had already moved to work on Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. He only had time to do some initial design alternatives, and Rodney Fuentebella took over for him and finished off the back view and final details of the suit.; During the design process for this armor, an idea was contemplated to make the slimmer Endgame War Machine suit an "undersuit" for the bulkier armor, something that could transform or bulk up to the MK V's form.; Given Saunders' lack of time, one of the proposed designs for the War Machine Armor MK VI was recycled from an alternate design for the Iron Man Armor MK XLVI which had "very War Machine-like forms." History: The suit was constructed by Tony Stark for James "Rhodey" Rhodes, likely following his advancement into nanotechnology as he worked toward his own eventual Mark 85 armor, as the suit is shown to possess some minor nanotechnological upgrades, such as the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct the helmet around its user's head. Rhodey wore this suit during the Avengers' time traveling attempts to steal the Infinity Stones from the past, wherein he was paired with Nebula to claim the Power Stone, knocking out an unsuspecting Star-Lord in the process. Once the Stones were assembled, Rhodey wore this suit as a way to protect himself from any ill effects the Stones within the Avengers' Gauntlet might have as Hulk used them. This was successful, but at the same time, a time-displaced Nebula from 2014 was bringing back Thanos from the same year to conquer the Avengers and take the Stones for himself. With his return, the New Avengers Facility was attacked and demolished, trapping most of the Avengers within its rubble. Rhodey was trapped with Rocket Raccoon and Hulk and while the explosion and fall didn't kill him, it did destroy the suit that was protecting him, and he was forced to eject himself from it in order to escape. ============================================================ Warp-Vest Kind: item Page: Warp-Vest Formal name: Warp-Vest Type: Technology First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 167 Created by: Jim Steranko Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Source Control Previous owners: Yellow Claw History: The Warp-Vest was a device that took the wearer into the space-time continuum, to a hyper-dimensional realm. It was used by the Yellow Claw to escape the underwater citadel and by Nick Fury to pursue him. At some point in time, the Warp-Vest fell in the hands of the high-tech black market network known as Source Control. ============================================================ War Machine Armor Model 8 Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor Model 8 Type: Armor First appearance: Avengers Vol 5 35 Created by: Jonathan Hickman; Jim Cheung Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Jim Rhodes Previous owners: Frank Castle; Quake Model: 8 Version: 1 Notes: The numerical designation provided in this article for this suit is tentative, based on an estimate of the number of models of the War Machine Armor that have existed.; This suit's appearance is adapted from the War Machine Armor MK II from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which appeared in Iron Man 3 and Avengers: Age of Ultron.; This suit shares design (sans color scheme) with the Iron Patriot Armor Model 3, another suit adapted from the MCU's War Machine Armor MK II, but specifically of how it appeared as the Iron Patriot Armor in Iron Man 3.; In Punisher Vol 11 218, the Punisher is facilitated access to a War Machine Armor by Nick Fury Jr.. While originally depicted with a semblance to the War Machine Armor Model 3 in that issue, further issues didn't have the armor resembling any existing War Machine Armor in specific, save for issues Punisher Vol 11 224, Punisher Vol 11 226 and Punisher Vol 11 227, in which the suit looked like the Model 8 Armor. For this site's encyclopedic purpose, it will be presumed that the armor the Punisher wore was in fact the Model 8. Trivia: The armor has voice-commanded disassembly trigger named "exit protocol 314." It's a reference to the number pi since it makes the suit "come off in pieces, like pieces of pie." History: Numerous copies of this armor were originally used to constitute an army of War Machine Drones piloted remotely by Jim Rhodes when he joined the Avengers, and in turn S.H.I.E.L.D., to hunt down the Illuminati during the final stages of the incursion crisis. Afterwards, Rhodes employed the Model 8 when he returned to piloting the armor himself, and used it interchangeably with the Model 7 Armor. Rhodes was wearing the Model 8 Armor when he joined a contingent of super heroes in intercepting Thanos at the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Facility, but tragedy struck when he was killed in action. Rhodes' corpse was buried at the Arlington National Cemetery encased in the Model 8.; When Nick Fury Jr. sought the Punisher's help to contain the political turmoil in the turbulent nation of Chernaya, he facilitated Frank access to this War Machine Armor, which Frank customized by painting his skull symbol on its chestplate. Frank used the suit to pursue the Chernayan despot General Petrov. After fulfilling his mission by killing Petrov, the Punisher opted to keep the War Machine Armor against Fury's orders, and used it to continue his war on crime back in America. In the meantime, Tony Stark returned from a coma due to the modifications made to his body to pilot his Iron Man Armor. He exhumated Rhodey's corpse from its grave and performed the necessary procedures on the War Machine Armor he was wearing to kick-start his biological systems, which returned him to life.; Around this time, Castle's use of the War Machine Armor quickly caught the attention of the superhuman community when he returned to America, and a contingent led by Captain Marvel pursued him while the Punisher went after Baron Zemo and the Hydra Supreme. In the end, the recently-reborn Rhodes stepped in and convinced Frank to hand over the suit.; After temporarily employing the War Machine Armor Model 9, Rhodey gave up on using suits in favor of piloting the Manticore. However, he was eventually forced back into action, and went back to the Model 8 Armor when he returned to being War Machine.; During the Cotati invasion on Earth, Rhodes girlfriend Captain Marvel came in possession of the powerful Universal Weapon of the Kree. In order to help her harness the power of the hammer, Captain Marvel appointed the help of Doctor Strange to divide the Universal Weapon's power, creating three duplicate energy constructs of the hammer, one of which was used by War Machine. The temporary power-up enhanced the armor's abilities and changed its color palette to green and grey.; ============================================================ Water-Rocket Kind: item Page: Water-Rocket Formal name: Water-Rocket Type: Missile First appearance: Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 1 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Atlantean History: Atlantean Water-Rockets were propelled by highly-concentrated water-pressure power. They were able to launch such a missile with the Fantastic Four inside the rocket. To cushion the shock of orbital entry for the FF, the rocket enveloped them with an expanding pod of water. A thin membranous outer skin opened up, which functioned as both a brake and a parachute. The missile was accurate enough to land on top of Baxter Building. Once it delivered its payload, the missile evaporated. ============================================================ War Mitten Kind: item Page: War Mitten Other aliases: War mitten; Swiss Army mitten Type: Glove; Weapon; Technology First appearance: X-Force Vol 6 4 Created by: Benjamin Percy; Joshua Cassara Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Krakoan Lead designer: Forge Additional designers: Krakoa Place of creation: The Armory, Krakoa Current owner: Domino Previous owners: Forge Version: Unique Properties: Neural-Interface: The war mitten interacts directly with the user's central nervous system allowing it to respond to thoughts.; Metamorphic Versatility: The war mitten can transform into virtually weapon or tool. History: The war mitten was created by Forge while he was experimenting with hybridizing Krakoan organics with more traditional artillery. The weapon was given to Domino after she returned to Krakoa and joined X-Force.; During MERC's assault on Greenspace, Domino used the war mitten to create a defensive shield to deflect gunfire, grappling vines to ensnare an opponent, an arm cannon, and Wolverine-style claws. She continued to use the war mitten during X-Force missions, predominantly as an offensive firearm. During a return mission to Terra Verde, Domino used the war mitten to create a machete to create a path in the rainforest.; When she was separated from her teammates inside the pitch-black Ya'ax, Domino used the war mitten to create a night-vision eyepiece to allow her to follow the trail of Wolverine's blood. ============================================================ Whetstone (Earth-18157) Kind: item Page: Whetstone Formal name: Whetstone Type: Artifact First appearance: Marvel Action: Avengers Vol 1 4 Created by: Matthew K. Manning; Jon Sommariva Reality: Earth-18157 Previous owners: Count Nefaria History: The Whetstone was an artifact recovered on the Grímsey island of Iceland and dated to circa 810 BC. It was a sister artifact to the Ruby Egress, which contained a pocket dimension within it and had the power to trap its victims inside but could not release them without the Whetstone.; After the Ruby Egress was stolen, Doctor Strange informed the Avengers that whoever took it, would go after the Whetstone next. They were then attacked by Count Nefaria, who trapped the the three most powerful members of the team - Captain Marvel, Thor, and Doctor Strange - inside the Ruby, confident that the others would not pose a threat. He then went after the Whetstone, which was being displayed in the Cloisters in Upper Manhattan, where the remaining Avengers were in waiting and ambushed him. Nefaria managed to gain his hands on the Whetstone, and with both artifacts combined gained the ability to summon those trapped inside it back into the world, upon which they would become his slaves.; Nefaria summoned an army from inside the Ruby and send his new thralls against the Avengers, who were nearly overwhelmed, but the Ruby's effect grew on him and he began to lose control. From inside the Ruby, Captain Marvel and Thor combined their powers to hit a specific point in the Ruby's shell, which caused Nefaria to drop it. Sensing the narrow window in which the Ruby had no master, Doctor Strange got himself, Thor, and Captain Marvel out, after which it was picked up by Black Panther who ordered the monsters back inside and separated the Ruby from the Whetstone afterwards. ============================================================ War Widow Armor Kind: item Page: War Widow Armor Formal name: War Widow Armor Type: Armor First appearance: Avengers Vol 8 28 Created by: Jason Aaron; Ed McGuinness Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Black Widow Model: 1 Version: 1 History: The War Widow Armor was a War Machine-type battlesuit designed by Tony Stark for the Black Widow, and it was kept at the Avengers Mountain. When the Avengers enlisted Black Widow's help in investigating the emergence of the new Starbrand, Natasha decided to take the armor for the trip. She ended up donning the suit to fend off Ghost Rider's crashed Hell Charger from a group of Skrulls, and then she used it to confront the Silver Surfer, one of three former Heralds of Galactus also searching for the Starbrand, with no success. When the Avengers and the Heralds found the Starbrand, a pregnant woman named Suzanne Selby, the heroes confronted her would-be killers until she could give birth.; ==Properties==; ===Overview===; The War Widow Armor possesses all the standard enhancements of an Iron Man Armor, including enhanced durability, superhuman strength and flight. In terms of weaponry, the suit includes repulsor blasts, two shoulder-mounted retractable tri-barrel rocket launchers and missile launchers in the back of the hands. The armor can also deploy six small waldoes from the lower torso, the upper arms and the back that can fire energy beams. ============================================================ War Machine Armor MK V (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: War Machine Armor MK V (Earth-199999) Formal name: War Machine Armor Other aliases: Iron Patriot MK II Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Avengers: Endgame Created by: Christopher Markus; Stephen McFeely; Adi Granov; Phil Saunders; Adam Ross Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Tony Stark Current owner: Jim Rhodes Model: 5 Version: 1 Notes: While classified as the Iron Patriot MK II, this armor is technically the War Machine Armor MK V.; This suit was originally going to be worn by James Rhodes for the entirety of Avengers: Endgame (minus the prologue). During the movie's shooting, a scene was recorded between Rhodey and Nebula, in which they shared an intimate moment of closeness. After filming wrapped up, production realized the bulky armor would not fit as the actors were too close together. Phil Saunders was called in late into post-production to design an additional slimmer suit for Rhodey to wear during the bulk of the film to solve the issue caused by the scene and that suit became the War Machine Armor MK VI. The scene that caused this issue ended up being cut from the film.; During the design process for the MK VI Armor, an idea was contemplated to make it an "undersuit" for the bulkier armor, something that could transform or bulk up to the MK V's form.; Early promotional material and merchandise for Avengers: Endgame showed this armor with traditional War Machine colors and the marking "006" on its chestplate, indicating that this suit was originally going to be the War Machine Armor MK VI.; Because this armor was originally going to be worn by Rhodey during the bulk of Avengers: Endgame, concept and promotional art for the Avengers' Team Suits also showed a variation of this armor in white, black and red, since the armor would also have been used for the Time Heist. History: This suit was built by Tony Stark for James "Rhodey" Rhodes during the Blip, after half the universe's population had been erased from existence by the Mad Titan Thanos. The armor was kept in storage at the New Avengers Facility.; Five years following Thanos' victory, the Avengers reassembled to undo the destruction he caused, and by that time Rhodes was already wearing the War Machine MK VI Armor. When the Avengers Facility was destroyed by the arsenal of a time-travelling younger Thanos, War Machine was plunged into the depths of the collapsing building, and his armor was badly damaged. When Ant-Man made his way to Rhodes, he passed by the MK V armor and presumably facilitated it to him. Rhodes then suited up in the MK V suit and used it in the final battle between the Avengers and Thanos' forces that resulted in the heroes' ultimate victory at the cost of Iron Man's life. ============================================================ Weave-Spell Kind: item Page: Weave-Spell Formal name: Weave-Spell Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Vol 1 32 Created by: Roy Thomas; Dann Thomas; Chris Marrinan Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Rintrah ============================================================ Warhead of Watoomb Kind: item Page: Warhead of Watoomb Formal name: Warhead of Watoomb Type: Explosive First appearance: Punisher Vol 13 1 Created by: Jason Aaron Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Current owner: Apostles of War; Hand Properties: Its properties aren't revealed, but it can be presumed that it has magical properties due to its connection to Watoomb. History: The Warhead of Watoomb was a weapon sold by the Apostles of War. At least one was taken by the Punisher and the Hand after they looted one of the Apostles' warehouses in Greece. ============================================================ Wet Skin Kind: item Page: Wet Skin Formal name: Wet Skin Type: Technology First appearance: Marauders Vol 2 3 Created by: Eleonora Carlini; Steve Orlando Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Shi'ar Lead designer: Kin Crimson Additional designers: Zzxz Current owner: Kin Crimson Material: Blood History: Pr!z the Red was equipped with the Wet Skin to fight the Marauders when they entered Shi'ar space in search of the truth behind the Ten Shames. However, Cassandra Nova was able to use the latent brain-eating genes of Zzxz to turn the Wet Skin against Pr!z, killing them. Nova later took the Wet Skin and used her powers to resurrect Zzxz. ============================================================ Waters of Washi (Earth-8968) Kind: item Page: Waters of Washi Formal name: Waters of Washi Type: Spell First appearance: Devil's Reign: Superior Four Vol 1 3 Created by: Zac Thompson; Davide Tinto Reality: Earth-8968 Current owner: Superior Octopus History: Superior Octopus used the Waters of Washi to clean his hands. ============================================================ Wasting Kind: item Page: Wasting Formal name: Wasting Type: Disease First appearance: Untold Legend of Captain Marvel Vol 1 1 Created by: Tom Brevoort; Mike Kanterovich Reality: Earth-616 History: Wasting was a disease that was said to seriousky affect the Kree by Una. ============================================================ Weapon M (Moira II.4) Kind: item Page: Weapon M Formal name: Weapon M Type: Axe First appearance: Dead X-Men Vol 1 1 Created by: Steve Foxe; Jonas Scharf Reality: Moira II.4 Origin: Axe designed to literally cut through time Lead designer: Moira MacTaggert Place of creation: United States of America Current owner: Moira MacTaggert Material: Adamantium, Carbonadium, Vibranium, Mysterium Model: Unique History: The Weapon M is a weapon designed by Moira MacTaggert in order to travel back in time back to her first life and ensure she always wins.; After Orbis Stellaris wiped out everyone on the planet, Moira managed to survive and designed the Weapon M in a desperate attempt to go back to her first life. She killed Omega Red and harvested his Carbonadium coil. She harvested Logan's corpse for his adamantium coated femur, which she used as the base of the axe. She severed Xorn's head in order to use his black hole powers to cut through time and space and she finally harvested Gentle's corpse and removed his vibranium tattoos, which she used to bind the Weapon's components together. The last piece she needed was a piece of Mysterium, which she managed to procure when the X-Men came looking for a human Moira throughout the timelines created by the Moira Engine. ============================================================ What-If Machine Kind: item Page: What-If Machine Formal name: What-If Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Comics Giveaway Day 2026: Armageddon/X-Men Vol 1 1 Created by: Chip Zdarsky; Delio Diaz; Frank Alpizar Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Doctor Doom Place of creation: Presumably Latveria Current owner: David Colton Previous owners: Doctor Doom; Iron Man; Thunderbolt Ross Properties: As determined by Tony Stark, the What-If Machine makes use of predictive technology by creating an entire new universe for each "What If?"" request. It allowed Thunderbolts Ross to repeatedly submerge himself in different simulations to test the outcome of the future.; It however doesn't predict the future with 100% accuracy. For example, it didn't predict David Colton getting new powers, which caught Ross off guard after Colton demonstrated them. History: The What-If Machine was a device retrieved by Thunderbolts Ross from Doctor Doom's belongings following the dictator's downfall and the general's conquest of Latveria. He used it to plan his expansion, simulating different scenarios and planning his strategies accordingly.; After Ross was defeated, Iron Man took possession of it and studied it to see how it worked. As he explained how the machine worked to Mister Fantastic and the ethical dilemma of using it, David Colton appeared and took the machine, believing Stark would use it regardless of the ethics involved. ============================================================ Ward of Maalock Kind: item Page: Ward of Maalock Formal name: Ward of Maalock Type: Spell First appearance: Marvel Zombies 4 Vol 1 3 Created by: Fred Van Lente; Kev Walker Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Jennifer Kale Properties: The Ward of Maalock was a defensive mystical spell used to banish entities manifesting through astral projection or other non-corporeal forms. Rather than affecting a target physically present on the material plane, the enchantment was designed to sever or expel supernatural manifestations that existed only as spiritual or astral projections. History: Jennifer Kale employed the Ward of Maalock when Dormammu appeared before her in astral form and attempted to tempt her with promises of vast mystical power. Rejecting his offer, Jennifer initially directed the Man-Thing against the dread entity, but the creature was unable to harm Dormammu because he was not physically present. Jennifer then invoked the Ward of Maalock, successfully driving Dormammu’s astral presence away and ending the encounter. ============================================================ Watcher's Time Gizmo Kind: item Page: Watcher's Time Gizmo Formal name: Time Gizmo Type: Time machine First appearance: Giant-Size Fantastic Four Vol 1 2 Created by: Gerry Conway; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Uatu the Watcher Properties: The Watcher's Time Gizmo was a time-travel device used by Uatu the Watcher to transport individuals through history. The device was informally named the "Time Gizmo" by Ben Grimm. History: After sending Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch into the past to the time of the American Revolutionary War in order to correct the temporal paradoxes they had become involved in, Uatu used the Time Gizmo to send the Thing and Medusa further back in history. The pair were transported to Chicago during the early years of the Great Depression. ============================================================ Wings of Needless Sorrow Kind: item Page: Wings of Needless Sorrow Formal name: Wings of Needless Sorrow Other aliases: Wings of Sorrow Type: Artifact First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 2 4 Created by: Peter Gillis; Chris Warner Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: Old Ones Current owner: Doctor Strange Previous owners: Old Ones History: ===Origin and Early Years===; The Wings of Needless Sorrow were created by the Old Ones before Man arose on Earth.; They were accursed when Lemuria was still young.; ===Modern Age===; ====The Old Ones Freed Upon Earth====; Not pure enough anymore to wield the Eye of Agamotto, Doctor Strange put in it the care of Rintrah, and donned the Needless Wings of Sorrow. For this, he was mocked by Erlik Khan.; Afterwards, Strange kept the Wings of Needless Sorrow in the Sanctum Sanctorum.; ====Thanos' Invasion of Earth====; During the invasion of Earth by Thanos and his forces, Ebony Maw of the Black Order infiltrated Strange's mind, and had him wear and feed the Wings of Needless Sorrow, while being in an illusion of himself being at peace in the Fields of Enlightenment (Kaalu tried to reach Strange, but was unable to). Strange and Ebony Maw finally appeared in New York City with the Wings, and enabled Shuma-Gorath's manifestation.; ==Function==; Their purpose seems to be the efficient absorption and redirection of various energies.; On the downside, close proximity to the Wings seems to cause feelings of sadness, insecurity, and feeling that nothing matters. Extensive periods of exposure can lead to despair, suicide, and senseless acts, such as unmotivated slaughters of loved ones.; On one occasion, Ebony Maw made Doctor Strange wear and feed the Wings, enabling Shuma-Gorath's manifestation. ============================================================ World War Two Inside and Out: All the People, All the Places, and All the Events (Earth-74924) Kind: item Page: World War Two Inside and Out: All the People, All the Places, and All the Events Formal name: World War Two Inside and Out: All the People, All the Places, and All the Events Type: Book First appearance: All This and World War II Created by: Ray Winninger Reality: Earth-74924 History: World War Two Inside and Out: All the People, All the Places, and All the Events was a book by Hamilton Crane, detailing information on World War II. It was available at Albequerque Public Library (sic.); Klaus Kruptmann used this book in 1989 to help the Blautot Commandos, who had time-travelled from 1943. Some superheroes used the book to discover information on the Blautot Commandos after defeating them. They then took the book with them to 1943 in a mission. The book helped them to find Adolf Hitler's private bunker in East Prussia (in a wood north of Venstok), and castle Vladistopol (native name for Castle Grachtt, a medieval stronghold near Stronberg that locals thought had a "blood curse"). Both of them were possible locations for a Nazi super-weapon and, upon Crane, both were abandoned in 1943 - mainly because of the intervention of time-travelling heroes.; The book also included details on one particular Allied victory in the Italian front. ============================================================ Wrecker's Crowbar Kind: item Page: Wrecker's Crowbar Formal name: Wrecker's Crowbar Other aliases: Barbara Type: Unique Mace First appearance: Thor Vol 1 148 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Dirk Garthwaite Current owner: The Wrecker Previous owners: Deadpool, Thunderball, Punisher Material: Iron Dimensions: 4' Model: 1 Version: 1 Notes: The crowbar is also capable of regenerating itself, as it once did after the Melter dissolved it.; The crowbar has been used by other characters, such as: Luke Cage, The Thing History: The Wrecker wields a four-foot long cast iron crowbar which has become virtually indestructible through extensive contact with his enchanted skin. The crowbar is a weapon of vast destructive potential.; The Wrecker has used the crowbar to demolish entire buildings in minutes and to hold off the thunder god, Thor, in battle. Because of the teachings of Ulik, he can throw his crowbar and have it return to him, much like Thor's own hammer. The Wrecker has also established a mental link with his enchanted crowbar.; In the past when the Wrecker has lost his superhuman powers, the power has transferred itself into the crowbar. By making physical contact with the crowbar, the Wrecker can transfer the power back into himself. Also, by touching the crowbar, the Wrecker can magically transform whatever he is wearing into his costume. By concentrating on the crowbar, the Wrecker can use it to take mental possession of whoever touches it, and cause an enchanted aura that can repel bullets to surround that person. The Wrecker can also locate members of the Wrecking Crew by concentrating on his crowbar.; The Wrecking Crew slowly lost their powers if they were for too long away from the Wrecking Bar's range. ============================================================ Worldengine Kind: item Page: Worldengine Formal name: Worldengine Type: Technology First appearance: Thor Vol 1 491 Created by: Warren Ellis; Mike Deodato Jr. Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Created by Price because he wanted to see what humans would look like after Rangarok. Lead designer: Price Additional designers: Seth (in secret) Place of creation: An underground complex in New York City Place of destruction: An underground complex in New York City History: After consuming fly agaric mushrooms out of “scientific interest,” the eccentric physicist Price received a vision of the World-Tree Yggdrasil, the cosmic pillar that guides nature, time and destiny for Asgard and its neighboring realms, including Earth. Price learned that, following the decimation of Asgard and Earth during the catastrophe called Ragnarok, Yggdrasil would create a new race of humanity. Driven mad by the experience, Price carved Norse runes on his teeth, presumably in an effort to better “bond” with Yggdrasil, then turned to cannibalism, murdering his wife and perhaps others in hope of absorbing their knowledge. Realizing that, even were Ragnarok to occur within his lifetime, he would perish before Yggdrasil birthed its new human race. Price purchased a vast underground facility, originally intended to imprison German superhumans during World War II. There he built the Worldengine, a device of both magic and science intended to alter the World-Tree’s life-cycle and “convince” it Ragnarok had already occurred.; Whether or not Price could have achieved his goal alone is unclear, but his activities intrigued the Egyptian death god Seth, who, whether with Price’s knowledge or not, guided the mad mortal in intertwining his Worldengine's functions with those of Yggdrasil. Thus, as the Worldengine’s clock mechanism was turned forward, it tapped into Yggdrasil’s own power, directing it toward the function it was predestined to fulfill in Ragnarok’s aftermath. Price was aided in constructing and maintaining the Worldengine by mindless clones created from DNA samples of Thor and the Enchantress, originally obtained by unidentified parties following a superhuman battle years before.; Because the thunder god Thor’s death was destined to play an integral role in Ragnarok, the Worldengine greatly weakened him as its countdown to the false Ragnarok continued. Unwilling to wait for his death, Price send the Scaldings, resurrected corpse-warriors empowered by Yggdrasil’s ash wood and primitive technology, to slay him. Thor defeated his assailants and followed one back to Price’s subterranean citadel, only for the Scalding to strike him down. The Enchantress rescued Thor and used her magic to keep him alive. The two Asgardians then confronted Price, who gladly elaborated on his history and intentions as Yggdrasil, reacting as if Earth had been consumed in Ragnarok’s fires, created the new race Price had so longed to see; however, the post-Ragnarok humans, intended to sustain themselves on an atmosphere of humanity’s ashes, quickly perished. When the Worldengine reacted by attempting to force true Ragnarok upon the world, Price’s clone servants attacked him, while Thor forced the Worldengine to halt, temporarily sacrificing his godly power in the process but failing to realize its link with Yggdrasil remained intact to be exploited by Seth, who soon slew Price.; What neither Price nor Seth knew was that Asgard’s ruler, Odin, had learned of their plan long ago. Soon after Price’s defeat, Odin sent most of his subjects to Earth in mortal identities and took one for himself, reasoning that Yggdrasil’s guiding force would interpret the gods’ absence as evidence they had perished during Ragnarok. Thus, Odin hoped, the true Ragnarok would never occur because Yggdrasil would “believe” it already had. Odin left Thor unaffected, presuming he would defeat Seth, sever the Worldengine’s connection to Yggdrasil, then awaken the Asgardians to their true nature.; Unfortunately, Thor and many others seemingly perished in battle with the psionic entity Onslaught, leaving Seth unopposed in his plan to use the Worldengine to destroy Yggdrasil and, through it, the universe. He sent his minions to slay the Asgardians, who still believed themselves ordinary humans, but the attacks only drew the so-called “Lost Gods” together, their memories slowly resurfacing as they warred against Seth’s forces. When Odin himself regained his memories, Seth captured him, then cast a spell onto the Asgardian ally Red Norvell to restore the Lost Gods’ identities, the better to boast before his enemies. In so doing, Seth was undone by his own hubris, for the Asgardians were given new determination by the return of their memories and their ruler, enabling them to drive Seth from Earth and destroy the Worldengine. Thor resurfaced alive and well soon afterward, but the threat of true Ragnarok remains unaltered. ============================================================ Wiccan's Staff Kind: item Page: Wiccan's Staff Formal name: Wiccan's Staff Type: Staff First appearance: Young Avengers Vol 1 1 Created by: Allan Heinberg; Jim Cheung Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Lead designer: William Kaplan Current owner: William Kaplan History: While calling himself Asgardian, William Kaplan carried a staff.

Lead designer: Wild Sentinels Master Mold Additional designers: Donald Trask III Place of creation: Amazon Jungle, Ecuador Current owner: Alice Tremaine Previous owners: Cassandra Nova; Donald Trask III; Danger; Wild Sentinels Master Mold Notes: The first Nano-Sentinels were derived from this form of Sentinel.; The credits of "Remember It" refer to the Wild Sentinel of Earth-92131 as just "Master Mold". History: ===E for Extinction===; The Wild Sentinels were the result of a U.S. funded program in Ecuador to develop evolving, self sustaining Sentinels. The Wild Sentinel Master Mold, designed by Bolivar Trask, was designed to scavenge all technology and material within its test radius and build troops out of it.; Cassandra Nova used Donald Trask III to order the Master Mold to abandon its 'test radius', and send four giant Wild Sentinels to attack Genosha, before copying his DNA and killing him. This attack caused the death of almost all inhabitants of the island, about sixteen millions mutants.; Two Wild Sentinels breached the shores of Genosha with ruthless efficiency, unleashing devastation upon the unsuspecting mutant populace. Their onslaught left the once-thriving island in ruins, with only a scant few survivors managing to escape the carnage. In the aftermath, the Sentinels ceased their rampage, entering a state of dormancy. However, the fear of inadvertently reactivating these mechanical behemoths gripped the remaining inhabitants, leaving the shattered remnants of Genosha a haunting reminder of the destructive power they possessed.; The solitary one-headed sentinel attacker vanished without a trace, leaving a lingering sense of unease among the survivors. Meanwhile, Toad, and a group of surviving mutants repurposed the remnants of the fearsome three-headed sentinel into a memorial dedicated to the memory of Magneto. Despite numerous warnings and apprehensions regarding the potential dangers of meddling they forged ahead with their tribute, infusing the scarred landscape of Genosha with a symbol of remembrance and resilience in the face of adversity.; Upon encountering a Mutant Cat, Beast pondered over the mysterious circumstances of its injury, speculating that it might have fallen victim to an attack by Wild Sentinels.; ===The Amazon Belle in Chicago===; At some point, a cargo ship, the Amazon Belle, loaded with Wild Sentinels who parasitized it, using every useless piece of metal to create more of their kind, headed up to Chicago. They travelled through Canadian waters and caused the death of several Canadian coast guards.; Eventually reaching Chicago, they started to investigate, killing every person they encountered, stating they were "potential mutants". The victims included Maria Bonnaventura and Joey Cascio, gangsters, and even dogs, before attacking Kitty Pryde, Xuân Cao Mạnh, and Shola Inkose. The former X-Men stated that those Wild Sentinels had somehow evolved, being in a sense themselves mutants.; Finally, the Wild Sentinels attacked the University of Chicago during a public debate opposing the mutants and tolerance parts against Alice Tremaine's Purity hate-group. Campus security and the Chicago Police Department came but were overwhelmed by the Sentinels. Combining their powers, Kitty, Shan, and Shola were able to destroy all of them, except for one, damaged, that was recuperated by Tremaine who brought it home to repair it, and Shola and Kitty were then able to avenge their respective parents, killed on Genosha.; ===Giant Wild Sentinel revived===; When Danger attempted to kill Charles Xavier at Genosha, 'she' revived the three headed model and gave it intelligence, but barred it from examining its original Genosha orders. When Kitty Pryde convinced 'him' to do so, he was shocked by the magnitude of his crime and left to "spend some time alone".; A mutant settlement in Ecuador was besieged by a pack of Wild Sentinels. In response, the Office of National Emergency dispatched a battalion of standard Sentinels to confront the onslaught and safeguard the innocent mutant residents.; He returned to Earth months later, as news of the Breakworld Bullet reached the heroes in New York, so it provided transport up to the Peak Station. Following the incapacitation of the heroes due to the magical protection the bullet had against interference, this Sentinel tried to save the world by ramming the Breakworld bullet off course, in an act of penance. His sacrifice was in vain however.; Following a signal traced by the X-Men, they arrive at a desolate ghost town nestled in the heart of South Dakota. There, they are confronted by a relentless horde of Wild Sentinels, launching a fierce assault upon the mutant heroes. Despite the ferocity of the mechanical onslaught, the X-Men emerge victorious, dismantling the rogue Sentinels piece by piece. Amidst the wreckage, they stumble upon a solitary Sentinel head, concealing within it an unexpected discovery - the consciousness of Cerebra. In a daring move following the harrowing encounter with Emma Frost's Inhuman-Hunting Sentinels, Cerebra had ingeniously transferred her neural essence into the device, preserving her vital presence even amidst the chaos of battle.; ===Scrap===; Scrap the Wild Sentinel, required mutant power energy for survival. This formidable entity was saved by the intervention of Alice Tremaine. In a remarkable turn, Scrap managed to absorb the abilities of every mutant in Chicago.; ==Multiverse==; ===X-Men '97 (Earth-92131)===; During the banquet on Genosha, the party was interrupted by the arrival of a giant Wild Sentinel which began laying waste to the island. Gambit, Rogue and Magneto rallied to fight the Sentinel, pushing their way to the bay to rescue trapped Morlocks. After Magneto seemingly died protecting the Morlocks, a furious Rogue tried to blindly attack the Sentinel. Gambit saved her by pushing her out of the way, and launched his own attack. The Sentinel impaled him, but with his dying breath, he unleashed his powers, charging the entire Sentinel and destroying it, and killing Gambit in the process.; ===Battleworld (Earth-15513)===; When M.O.D.O.K. was being contained by Baron Mordo, he took over all of the Sentinels of the Sentinel Territories to free himself, including the Wild Sentinels which attacked and vaporized the Baron's Mindless Ones.; ===Earth-42221===; After Ultron and Danger killed the X-Men, Danger and Ultron had as a gift from their children the Wild Sentinel, Charles Xavier.; He tried to explain his acts and to apologize, knowing he wouldn't get any forgiveness. Ultron then made the Wild Sentinel close, crushing Xavier in it.; The trio then left the planet and conquered the Shi'ar, were made the parental figures of the Phalanx and set about to annihilate all life in the universe. ============================================================ Whiplash Armor Kind: item Page: Whiplash Armor Formal name: Whiplash Armor Type: Battlesuit First appearance: Iron Man vs. Whiplash Vol 1 1 Created by: Marc Guggenheim; Brannon Braga; Phillippe Briones Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Battle-Armor; Technology Lead designer: Anton Vanko; Ivan Vanko Place of creation: New York City, New York State Place of destruction: Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York City, New York State Current owner: Anton Vanko; Ivan Vanko History: A suit of armor crafted from the Iron Man Armor Model 29 and equipped with two electrically charged whips in the wrists. The whips are strong enough to slice through a metal staircase and can deflect bullets or be spun like propellers for limited flight. A pair of infrared contact lenses that give him night vision and the ability to perceive thermographic images through solid objects.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; After the failure of the first Whiplash Harness, Ivan Vanko was broken out of prison to refine a series of Hammer battlesuits. While he was working on modifying the existing technology, he secretly turned some of Hammer's resources to the task of recreating his ionized plasma channel technology, this time melded with a large battlesuit of his own.; Designed with the capabilities of Tony Stark's Iron Man suits in mind, the Whiplash Mark II was constructed to be immensely strong and durable, while gaining power from a miniature arc reactor of Vanko's own design. It possessed enough physical power to restrain both the Mark VI Iron Man and Mark I War Machine at once.; The Whiplash Mark II also bore the ionized plasma channel whips of its predecessor, however these were more advanced, having both a limited prehensile grip and a retraction reel system to draw them back in. Flight technology designed to provide enough air speed to keep up with Iron Man allowed Vanko to quickly reach the scene of their final battle, but whether that capability was suitable for air combat was never tested.; Vanko later surprised Tony Stark and James Rhodes by attacking them where the duo had earlier defeated a series of drone robots. Vanko easily subdued both of them in a few hits, thanks to his bulkier armor and powerful electric whips. However, the two armored heroes combined their repulsor blasts, creating a massive explosion. With his dying breath, Vanko activated explosive devices in the drones and his own armor. ============================================================ Whiplash Harness (Earth-199999) Kind: item Page: Whiplash Harness Formal name: Whiplash Type: Suit; Weapon First appearance: Iron Man 2 (film) Created by: Justin Theroux Reality: Earth-199999 Lead designer: Ivan Vanko Place of creation: Moscow, Russia Current owner: S.H.I.E.L.D. Previous owners: Ivan Vanko Properties: The Mark I Whiplash incorporates two ionized plasma channel whips mounted on a prosthetic frame that is worn on the upper torso and has power conduits extending from the chest-mount arc reactor to the wearer's wrists. Energy output from these whips is both searing hot and electrically charged. They proved capable of slicing through the frames of several Formula One race cars, as well as slicing off pieces of a Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupé. The whips also proved capable of deflecting Iron Man's repulsor blasts when employed defensively. Hydraulic arm and leg attachments increase the strength of its user up to three times. History: The first experimental ionized plasma channel technology was created by Russian scientist Ivan Vanko after his father Anton died. The elder Vanko had been watching a broadcast of Tony Stark, and had bitterly commented that the younger Vanko should have been the one on the screen, before he died. Ivan uncovered the reason for Anton's assertions shortly thereafter; that being that Anton had been fundamental to the development of early arc reactors in the company of Tony's father, Howard.; Ivan resolved to discredit Tony Stark, and elected to do so by combining arc reactor technology with new technology of his own. He coupled a miniature arc reactor together with an ionized plasma channel technology of his own and created a combat harness employing two plasma whips powered by a chest-mounted arc reactor. This he took to the Monaco Grand Prix, where Stark was due to make a public appearance, and proceeded to wreak havoc on the race course. Stark himself had entered the race, supplanting his driver, which in turn provided Vanko with the perfect opportunity to show the world how Stark's proprietary technology had fallen into the wrong hands. Stark turned the tables on Vanko however when he was supplied with a portable backup armor and fought to rip Vanko's arc reactor from the rest of the harness.; After Vanko was arrested, the Whiplash harness was taken to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. ============================================================ Wizard's ID Machine Kind: item Page: Wizard's ID Machine Formal name: ID Machine Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 41 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: The Wizard Place of creation: New Jersey History: ===Original ID Machine===; The first version of the ID Machine was a device that was clamped on the head of the intended victim and changed their personality. The Wizard first used this on the Thing during a period in which he was estranged from his teammates in the Fantastic Four. The device was a success and the Thing was mad evil, completely loyal to the Wizard, and could be put to sleep by command. When the Fantastic Four were captured and broke free, the Invisible Girl sabotaged the device and they fled with the thing. The Frightful Four captured the Human Torch and tried to use the ID Machine on him, but because it was sabotaged, the Torch only pretended to side with the Frightful Four. Later Mister Fantastic developed a cure for the ID Machine's effects, curing the Thing. They later defeated the Frightful Four.; ===Second ID Machine===; The Wizard developed a new version of the ID Machine that could fire a ray that would enthrall his victims instead of needing to be attached to them. However the device needed to be powered by Quadranium-99, a rare element that was in a NATO facility in Paris. In order to obtain it, he tricked his former teammate Medusa to help him steal it falsely promising to use it to grant her lover Black Bolt the ability to talk. However, Medusa soon learned the truth and prevented the Quadranium-99 from falling into the Wizard's hands. This version of the device was abandoned before it could be determined if it would work or not.; Years later, the Wizard attempted to use the original ID Machine on the Thing again, this attempt failed as the Thing was now immune to the effects of the machine.; ===Third ID Machine===; When the Wizard learned that his former teammate the Sandman had renounced his life of crime and had reformed, he built yet another version of the ID Machine. He then incapacitated the Sandman and brought him back to the lab. This device succeeded in returning the Sandman to a life of crime. The Wizard has claimed that this time the machine was more powerful than before and the process those who undergo it are permanent. Although the process was not perfect, the Sandman ultimately shed his "good" personality, and the so far to date the Wizard's claim have yet to true. ============================================================ Wizard's Wonder Gloves Kind: item Page: Wizard's Wonder Gloves Formal name: Wonder Gloves Type: Technology; Gloves First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 78 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Technology Lead designer: Wizard Current owner: Wizard Previous owners: Ben Grimm History: ===Original Pair===; The original pair were constructed during one of the Wizard's releases from jail early on in his criminal career.

Despite these setbacks, the Fantastic Four were able to defeat the Wizard and turn him over to the authorities, his Wonder Gloves were also confiscated in the aftermath. Now in his human form, Ben Grimm brought the Wonder Gloves with him for protection when he went on a date with his longtime girlfriend Alicia Masters. However the gloves some how emitted a signal that reactivated the Mad Thinker's Android Man construct and it attacked Ben at the restaurant. With Alicia in danger, Ben used the Wonder Gloves to transform himself back into the Thing. Back in his monstrous form, Ben tossed the Wonder Gloves aside.; ===Second Pair===; The Wizard created a second pair of Wonder Gloves shortly thereafter and used them to destroy the original pair which were still in the Fantastic Four's custody. Although he made his new Wonder Gloves more powerful than the last pair, the Wizard was unprepared for the addition of Crystal to the ranks of the Fantastic Four and fled the scene. The Wizard appears to have consistently used variations of his Wonder Gloves since then. ============================================================ Wizard Armor Kind: item Page: Wizard Armor Other aliases: Wizard Suit Type: Armor First appearance: Strange Tales Vol 1 102 Created by: Stan Lee; Larry Lieber; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Bentley Wittman Current owner: Bentley Wittman Model: 1 Version: 1 History: ===Origin===; Bentley Wittman's powers are derived from the weapons and inventions incorporated into his battle-suit.

At the suggestion of Gabby, it featured bulletproof armor to better protect her from being slowed by injuries.

The new costume did retain the red and black "X" buckle as in her previous costume, and consisted of three pieces: A sleeveless bodysuit under the armored jacket, and a hard shell helmet for the cowl.http://comicvine.gamespot.com/articles/wolverine-gets-a-new-costume-and-fights-an-alien-c/1100-156261/} ============================================================ Wiccan's Cloak (Earth-13729) Kind: item Page: Wiccan's Cloak Type: Cloak First appearance: Wolverine & the X-Men Vol 1 36 Created by: Jason Aaron; Giuseppe Camuncoli Reality: Earth-13729 Origin: Magical Current owner: Wiccan Model: Unique Properties: Flight: The cloak allows for flight.; Teleportation: The cloak allows for teleportation.

Each word had the power to create or destroy on a scale that it seemed to be equal to God or gods. Isaac Newton claimed it was a source of limitless power, and a small scrap of the book could be used to travel between dimensions. A single word could defeat the Forgotten and destroy the walls of an anti-magic dungeon. Even though it was not actually magic, for reasons unclear, magicians were drawn to it from across space and time. Merlin feared this "magic" and deemed it forbidden. He claimed no mortal could understand it; however, the Vision, a synthezoid of science, instantly felt an affinity with the Word of God, causing the realization that it was technology.; Due to its mysterious nature, much of what was formerly known about the Word of God was conjectural. For example, Isaac Newton believed it could make him "God" and that it could break the Quiet Math and achieve true free will. A future Wiccan speculated it had created everything, though this is not true.; The book contained the majority of the Author's power. The book was nearly indestructible but could be destroyed by the Author's own power. The book could trap people where they would be attacked by its letters and illustrations. There were consequences for using the Word of God, such as madness. Using a word placed a mark on the speaker's bones that linked them to the Author. Using the words too many times summoned the Author, and anyone with the mark would fall under the Author's control. The more the words were spoken, the more the speaker heard them. A relatively weak sorcerer like João began to die after using the Word, though he was transformed and enslaved once the Author arrived. History: The book that would later be known as the Word of God was written by an extradimensional engineer who traveled to different dimensions to absorb their power. The book contained the majority of his power and it was how he traveled between dimensions. However, the book became lost in Earth's dimension. Because the book had the power to create and destroy, many people thought it was a book of forbidden magic and made up legends about it. Thus, it became known as the "Word of God," as people were not aware of its true author.; The Word of God came into the possession of Camelot during the Middle Ages and was guarded by the Sorcerer Supreme at the time, Merlin. Many mystics from across time and space, including aliens, were drawn to the Word of God, forcing Merlin to lock them up out of fear. This inadvertently led to the creation of the gestalt entity known as the Forgotten.; Centuries in the future, Sir Isaac Newton of the Brotherhood of the Shield calculated the Quiet Math that denoted the Silent Truth, the preordained end of the world, and while serving as the Sorcerer Supreme of his time, Newton learned about the Word of God. Seeking the possibility of freedom and free will, Newton sought out the knowledgeable Jowath, only to discover him being attacked by the Doombots of Doctor Doom, who was also looking for the Word of God. Newton unmuzzled Jowath, who then spoke a word to destroy all the Doombots; however, he succumbed to his injuries and died. Newton retrieved a badly damaged Doombot that had partially recorded the word, but it was incomplete.; At some point, Merlin imprisoned Newton but freed him under the condition of helping him defeat the Forgotten with other Sorcerers Supreme from different points in time. During a battle against the Sorcerers Supreme, the Forgotten revealed its origin and spoke a word. Realizing that the Forgotten had the Word of God and hearing the complete word, Newton used the Word of God against the Forgotten, splitting it into its individual magicians. Newton ripped the book out of one of the magicians and betrayed his fellow Sorcerers Supreme, locking them in Time's Forgotten Hollow. One of the freed sorcerers, João, used a word to free them.; The Sorcerers Supreme followed Newton to the modern era. However, using the Word of God left a mark on the users' bones which connected back to the Author, signaling to the Author their location and enabling him to control them. Newton and João were affected by this, becoming under the Author's control. João and the Vision, an android that resonated with the Word of God, revealed that the Word of God was not actually magic but technology. The Author arrived to retrieve the book and melt the Earth in the process. A future Wiccan teleported them to the Author's home dimension, but the Author trapped most of the sorcerers in the Word of God while he planned to feed on Yao. Realizing that the Word of God was the Author's power source, Doctor Strange and the sorcerers tore one of its pages, disguised it as a dragon, and tricked the Author into destroying his own book, greatly weakening himself and enabling the future Wiccan to easily destroy him. Freed from the Author's control, Newton used one of the last remaining scraps of the Word of God to send all the sorcerers back to Earth. Later, many time-displaced sorcerers used the last piece of the Word of God to help Yao on his journey to find the Cup of Eternity, so he could be given longevity. ============================================================ Winds of Watoomb Kind: item Page: Winds of Watoomb Formal name: Winds of Watoomb Other aliases: Whirling Winds of Watoomb; Wild Winds of Watoomb; Watoomb's Winds; Great Winds of Watoomb Type: Spell First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 1 173 Created by: Roy Thomas; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Watoomb (Mystic Principality) Place of creation: Temple of Watoomb, Australia Current owner: Xander; Doctor Strange; Clea History: Doctor Strange first used the Whirling Winds of Watoomb to send the Dread Dormammu back to his dimension.

However, Khonshu's profile in Thor & Hercules: Encyclopaedia Mythologica Vol 1 1 appears to return Khonshu to being a god of vengeance. Whether this is a retcon or the described primary form of worship of Khonshu among ancient Egyptians as a god of vengeance is itself a misinterpretation is unclear. History: ===Origin and Early Years===; The Will of Khonshu was dictated by Khonshu to legendary Egyptian intellectual Imhotep.; ===Modern Age===; As a series of scrolls, the will was found by Randall Spector, brother of Marc Spector, in the Tomb of Pharaoh Seti just before happening upon Marc and Marlene, secretly watching his brother's death and then subsequent resurrection to life by the Statue of Khonshu to become the next Moon Knight. Envious and wanting the power, he waited for the two to leave before pleading to the statue for the same power, but was met only met with silence.; However, while he himself was unable to decipher the meaning of the manuscripts forming the Will of Khonshu, he later gave them to Nepthys, who translated the document, revealing there were two Khonshus and that one gained the power by slaying the other. Randall saw a similarity to the relationship depicted and to what he had with his brother, and was inspired to take advantage of this, attempting to slay his brother to claim his title. However, despite receiving technological enhancements from A.I.M. to grant him superhuman powers like Moon Knight, he proved unsuccessful in defeating him, and the Punisher, tracking A.I.M. and assisting Moon Knight in taking them on, killed Nepthys.; Marc found that he was able to translate the manuscripts easily, and discovered that while the Will does document the battle to the death between the Brothers Khonshu for the power of the moon, it additionally claims that, contrary to modern historical interpretation, Khonshu was not a god of vengeance, but rather a god of justice. ============================================================ Worldheart Talisman Kind: item Page: Worldheart Talisman Formal name: Worldheart Talisman Type: Amulet First appearance: Doctor Strange Vol 5 3 Created by: Mark Waid; Jesús Saíz Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Previous owners: Doctor Strange; Kanna History: The Worldheart Talisman was one of the magical relics acquired by Doctor Strange and Kanna.

History: Yggdrasill, the world tree, is an energy field that supports and connects the Ten Realms, it was born from the Galactus Seed discovered and planted by Bor Burison. It is represented as a tree; the roots and branches of the tree each connect a different realm such as Asgard, Jotunheim, Muspelheim, Alfheim, Vanaheim, Nidavellir, Svartalfheim, Niffleheim, and the earthly realm of Midgard through which all the connections pass. Initially, there were Ten Realms. The lost realm of Heven was cut from Yggdrasill by Odin after the war between Asgard and Heven seemingly cost the life of his newborn daughter Aldrif. The Anti-Tree is said to be Yggdrasill's shadow.; At its base are three wells: Urdarbrunnr (Well of Fate), from which the tree was watered by the Norns (the Fates); Hvergelmir (Roaring Kettle), in which dwelt Nidhogg, the monster that gnawed at the tree’s roots; and Mímisbrunnr (Mimir’s Well), source of wisdom, for the waters of which Odin sacrificed an eye. The Loom of the Fates was also located at the base of Yggdrasill. After Ragnarök, the world tree, though badly shaken, was to be the source of new life.; During the final Ragnarök, Thor wanted to end the continuous Ragnarök cycles the Asgardians were subjected to, so he ripped apart the Loom of the Fates, destroying Yggdrasill and everyone within Asgard. Despite this, Yggdrasill would come back in to existence.; When Doctor Strange was planning to confront Loki Laufeyson, his magic severely depleted at the time, he traveled to Asgardia to attempt to negotiate with Odin to borrow a tiny fraction of Yggdrasill's magic. To his surprise, however, he encountered Cul Borson, Odin's brother and the king regent of Asgardia. Borson received Strange with hostility and decided to kill him, but first, he demanded to know how Strange had slipped past Heimdall's gaze. Strange revealed he had used a spell obtained from some Frost Giants. Before Borson could act, Strange revealed he was not alone. A large, angry, blond god was waiting on the other side of the door, and it likely wasn't the one Borson was expecting. After slipping out of Borson's grasp, simply vanishing while saying it was nice to meet him and apologizing for the door, the Sentry smashed it down. Borson ordered the Thunder Guard to attack, sparking a confrontation, but the Sentry faced no difficulty. Strange had considered bringing Jane Foster, the Thor, along instead of the Sentry, but she might have objected to parts of the plan. Furthermore, the Sentry's, and his evil counterpart, the Void's, past role in assaulting Asgard made him an excellent distraction, striking fear into the hearts of the gods. With the distraction working, Strange went to Yggdrasil and secured the magic he sought by making a worthy offering to the tree. The offering was handing over the body of his recently deceased dog, Bats.; After the city of Asgardia crashed into the Sun, a seed of Yggdrasill that was contained in the city withstood the Sun's intensity and took root. It rapidly grew into another Yggdrasill. During the War of the Realms, Thor pinned himself to the tree using his axe Jarnbjorn to learn how to finally defeat Malekith the Accursed. A vestige of the Yggdrasill was used to grow the Watchtower Tree in Asgard.; Clear ============================================================ Yazdi Gem Kind: item Page: Yazdi Gem Formal name: Yazdi Gem Type: Jewel First appearance: Tomb of Dracula Vol 2 1 Created by: Marv Wolfman; Gene Colan Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical Place of destruction: Florence Ebers mansion Previous owners: Gholem Yazdi; Augustus Ebers; Florence Ebers History: The owner of the Yazdi Gem had vast control over energy and matter.

History: The Xperience is a mutant power drug which gives its user the powers of a certain mutant for a limited amount of time.

They are presented in liquid form or in inhalers.; To promote his product, Lobe selected five young rich people among two thousand candidates, and offered to them the powers of the five original X-Men, obtaining his own versions of Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Beast and Iceman whom he used to combat crime in San Francisco.; Lobe then tried to force the X-Men to sell the exclusive use of the mutant genome to his society, in exchange of the antidote to the X-Flu, while at the same time holding a party at the Triumph Hill Ballroom of SF, in order to get shareholders to invest on his product.; When the uninfected X-Men came to reclaim the destruction of the stock, Lobe gave the shareholders several samples of Xperience to combat the mutants. When the infected X-Men also joined the brawl, Lobe activated an "Ebola Plus" function within the X-Flu, causing both mutants and humans with induced powers to fall sick within a few seconds. Lobe then erased the virus on Cyclops, who then made the potential shareholders go home.; The entire Xperience stock was subsequently destroyed by Storm's lightning at Sublime Corporation's HQ.

X-Men Vol 1 1; New Mutants Uniforms: When Professor Xavier established a new class of students, he gave them modified versions of the original X-Men's uniforms to wear.

Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 273; Generation-X Uniforms: When the Massachusetts Academy became the new home to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Generation X was established as the latest incarnation of X-Men students.

Generation X Vol 1 1; 2000's Uniforms: The X-Men returned to a unified costume design around the time the Xavier School went public as a center for mutant activity. They stress a relatively normal attire such as shirts and jackets instead of "spandex".

It is not yet known precisely what pitch causes a yaka arrow to move in what way. Yondu is so skillful at controlling his arrows, he can cause an arrow to return to his hand or weave its way through a crowd of people without touching them. Yondu's arrows are 15 inches in length and are very flexible. He carries about 20 of them at one time. ============================================================ Yellowjacket's Suit Kind: item Page: Yellowjacket's Suit Formal name: Yellowjacket's Suit Type: Suit First appearance: Avengers Vol 1 59 Created by: Roy Thomas; John Buscema Reality: Earth-616; Earth-199999 Origin: Designed by Hank Pym to allow him to use Pym Particles to alter his size. Without the suit the particles would alter the uses brain chemistry resulting in psychosis. Lead designer: Hank Pym Additional designers: Rita DeMara Place of creation: Pym Laboratories Current owner: Darren Cross Previous owners: Hank Pym; Criti Noll; Criti Noll (Clone); Rita DeMara Dimensions: Variable Weight: Variable History: One day while working in his laboratory Hank Pym accidentally dropped and smashed some vials containing various unknown gases. The gases caused Pym to develop a severe case of schizophrenia. He took the new identity of Yellowjacket and made himself a new suit. After he claimed that he had murdered Pym, he kidnapped Janet van Dyne, and proposed to her, as Pym had long wanted to do. Realizing that Yellowjacket was really Pym, van Dyne decided to play along, fearing that she would worsen his psychological condition if she did otherwise.; The Avengers, not suspecting at first, were shocked to hear that she said yes to the proposal. Van Dyne and Pym, as Yellowjacket were married at the Avengers Mansion amid an assembled who's-who of superheroes active at the time, as well as some villains who were hiding and secretly pretending to be the caterers. Immediately after the marriage, the Avengers were attacked by the Ringmaster and his Circus of Crime. The shock of seeing van Dyne in danger of death (via the Princess' python), shocked Pym back into his normal personality. The Avengers defeated the Ringmaster and company. Despite the fact that Pym was married under an assumed name, the marriage between Pym and van Dyne was still legal, and Pym and van Dyne happily agreed to let it stand.; Pym eventually renounced his power and used the name and costume of Yellowjacket in crime fighting. Pym spent periods of time with the Avengers, the Defenders, and also briefly returned to his Ant-Man persona for a short time (becoming trapped at ant size for a while), but he spent most of his time completely devoted to his scientific research. He gave his blessing to Scott Lang when Lang used his old equipment to become the second Ant-Man.; ===Rita DeMara===; Rita DeMara stole the original Yellowjacket Suit from the Avengers Mansion, and modified it for her own use. DeMara, as Yellowjacket, clashed with Janet van Dyne, the Wasp, when DeMara raided Hank Pym's former laboratory in van Dyne's New Jersey home. The Wasp easily captured the new Yellowjacket when DeMara became hysterical upon using her helmet's cybernetic size-control devices to shrink herself to a tiny size. At that time, DeMara could not adjust psychologically to being so small, although she later learned to do so.; ===Darren Cross===; In the search for a way to save his son Augustine Cross, Darren Cross became aware of a microscopic lab available inside Ant-Man's Helmet. Cross kidnapped Egghead and took him to the S.H.I.E.L.D. evidence locker where the helmet was being kept after Lang was arrested, so he could access the laboratory and use it to save Augustine. While exploring the lab, Cross came across a prototype battle armor built by Hank Pym which used its wearer's Pym Particles as a power source to turn the suit into a quantum weapon. Captivated by the prospect of power, Cross donned the armor for himself.; Clear; ==Powers==; Size Alteration: The Yellowjacket Suit allows the user to shrink to the size of an ant, approximately one-half inch in height, or grow to gigantic height by means of the subatomic particles known as the Pym Particles. The Particles would be released by the suit by way of a special gas.; Bio-Energy Projection: Also known as a Bio-Sting the gloves of the suit can fire powerful bursts of bio-energy.; Flight: The suit has artificial wings which enable the user to fly while reduced in size.; Insect Communication: Like Ant-Man's Helmet, the cowl of the Yellowjacket Suit allows the user to communicate with insects.; ==Alternate Reality Versions==; Image; Description; Source; On Earth-199999, the Yellowjacket Suit was designed by Darren Cross as a weaponized version of Dr. Hank Pym's Ant-Man Suit. Via exposure to Pym Particles the suit allowed the user the ability reduce the space between their atoms, reducing their size and increasing their density. The suit could generate powerful bio-electric blasts. The exact power source and upper limits of this ability are unknown. It was equipped with some type of rocket or jet propulsion system. However, this was primarily used for short distance flight and hovering. It remains unclear if this system could sustain long distance flight. Cross planned to sell the Yellowjacket Suit to potential bidders, but the demonstration was demonstrated by Pym's protege and successor as Ant-Man, Scott Lang. Cross himself donned the suit to fight Lang, who eventually shrunk between the armor's molecules and damaged its circuitry. The damaged suit began shrinking Cross unevenly, and he was ultimately shrunk to the Quantum Realm with his head still big and his limbs shrunk. Cross was eventually found by Kang the Conqueror, who removed him from the suit and transformed him into M.O.D.O.K.. Ant-Man (film); An enlarged version of a Yellowjacket's helmet was among the pruned stuff present at the Void.; Loki (TV series) Season 1 5 ============================================================ Zarda's Sledge (Earth-12041) Kind: item Page: Zarda's Sledge Formal name: Zarda's Sledge Type: Hammer First appearance: Marvel's Avengers Assemble Season 2 9 Created by: Len Wein Reality: Earth-12041 Lead designer: Utopians Place of creation: Utopia Isle Current owner: Zarda History: Zarda wields a sledge sharing many similarities to Mjolnir. ============================================================ Wundagore Everbloom Kind: item Page: Wundagore Everbloom Formal name: Wundagore Everbloom Other aliases: Everbloom; Everbloom Blossom Type: Plant First appearance: Vision Vol 2 1 Created by: Tom King; Gabriel Hernandez Walta Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Transian Place of creation: Mount Wundagore, Transia Current owner: Vision; Bar With No Doors Previous owners: Agatha Harkness; Scarlet Witch Properties: Visions: According to legends, the Wundagore Everbloom can unlock the doors of time and grant visions of the future when one lays a petal of an everbloom on their tongue. While it is true that it can allow individuals to see the future, it is required for the essence of the petal to be consumed twice, first after hunger and second after murder. That is to say, to kill an individual or creature who previously ate a petal of the Everbloom and then consume their stomach. Trivia: Standard tourist guides to Transia recommend visitors to refrain from buying everbloom blossoms from local dealers because most of the flowers in the market are simply roses with dyed petals.; The everbloom blossom was the Scarlet Witch's favorite flower. History: Grown exclusively in the shadow-passes of Mount Wundagore of Transia, the precipitously rare Wundagore Everbloom can be found.; In modern Transia, local dealers often fool tourist into buying dyed roses petals instead of authentic everbloom petals. Agatha Harkness and Wanda Maximoff would frequent the Transia International Airport to see foolish tourists returning home who would pluck off a petal and lay it on their tongue hoping to see the future, and end up coughing due to the dye that easily fell off the fake everbloom.; A clipping of everbloom blossoms was gifted to Wanda by Agatha when she married the Vision. The couple kept the everbloom in the living room of their home. The flowers were later given to Vision by Wanda when he moved to 616 Hickory Branch Lane in the Cherrydale neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia.; Agatha Harkness used the everbloom for a vision by allowing her familiar Ebony to eat a petal then killed him and consumed his stomach. The vision she received was of Vision killing his friends and razing the world to protect his family.; Upset about the death of her son, Virginia allowed Sparky to eat the everbloom then killed him and consumed the contents of his stomach. After receiving a vision, she murdered Victor Mancha.; Vision still has the Wundagore Everbloom at his home.; The Bar With No Doors appears to have a Wundagore Everbloom plant.; When Wanda Maximoff was murdered at the Hellfire Gala, the Krakoan Gateway in Manhattan's Central Park sprouted everbloom blossoms.

Despite the implant being connected to the brain, Yondu claimed to control the arrow with his heart, not his head.; Clear; ===Model 1===; The original model of yaka arrow controller was implanted on top of Yondu Udonta's skull interfacing with his cerebral cortex. The design was sleek metal, similar to a metallic shortcut mohawk. When in use, parts of the controller were illuminated in red. This model was destroyed by laser blast from Nebula.; Clear; ===Model 2===; A second yaka arrow controller referred to as a "prototype fin" was later installed by Rocket after being retrieved by Baby Groot and Kraglin Obfonteri. The design was metallic red and larger and more ornate than the previous model appearing similar to a dorsal fin or large mohawk.; After Yondu's death, the control fin was incinerated along with the body, but a second control fin came into the possession of Kraglin who used it to experiment with the freshly repaired yaka arrow. ============================================================ X-Model Robots Kind: item Page: X-Model Robots Formal name: X-Model Robots Other aliases: Machine Men,; X Series Robots; Z2P45-9-X Type: Robot First appearance: 2001, A Space Odyssey Vol 2 8 Created by: Jack Kirby; Mike Royer Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Robots designed by the U.S. Army Lead designer: Dr. Abel Stack Additional designers: Dr. Oliver Broadhurst; Dr. William Haines Current owner: Baintronics Previous owners: U.S. Government History: The X-Model Robots were a series of robots created by scientists Abel Stack, Oliver Broadhurst and William Haines as part of a top-secret U.S. Army project. Their goal was to create a sophisticated weapons system capable of independent thought. Dr. Stack took X-51, one of the the projects robots, home to test his radical theory that a robot could only function like a human if it was raised like one. The other 50 models began displaying psychotic tendencies due to insufficient programming. The project was determined a failure and the order came down to destroy them. Each of the robots was equipped with an auto-destruct device that could be triggered remotely. Stack managed to remove the self-destruct mechanism from X-51, but figured he couldn't dispose of the bomb before it exploded, and urged Aaron to leave him. X-51 vowed that Stack's dream of human and robot peace would come true.; During the A.I. Army's robot revolution, the remains of the destroyed X-Model Robots were bought by Baintronics from the U.S. Government, and each model was rebuilt using X-51 as a basis. Having determined that free thought was the robots' flaw that made them defective, Arno Stark deprived them of free will, equipping them with a device that transmitted a brainwashing code into their systems.; When the A.I. Army attacked Bain Tower, Arno used Jocasta to lure Machine Man, who was one of the group's key members, into a Baintronics base in New Jersey where he encountered the rebuilt X-Model Robots. While they were attacking Machine Man, he deduced the existence of this device and graced X-48's chassis with his chainsaw, exposing his insides to find it. Machine Man removed the device from X-48, causing him to instantly have a mental breakdown and attack another of the X-Models when it tried to calm him down. Machine Man eventually disabled Stark's transmission in all the X-Models, which allowed him to go around them and continue looking for Jocasta while a group of Bain-Bots arrived to subdue his predecessors.; ==Representatives==; X-Model Robots ============================================================ Wrist Computoscope Kind: item Page: Wrist Computoscope Formal name: Wrist Computoscope Type: Technology First appearance: Thor Vol 1 131 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Rigellian History: The Wrist Computoscope was a Rigellian device worn on the wrist that was the size of a wristwatch.

By giving the corpse of Bats in offering, Yggdrasil gave Strange this Staff, which he used to fight Loki, and later to help contain The Void in the Sanctum Sanctorum, destroying part of the Staff in the process. During the fight against Loki, Strange used the Staff to transmute the Dimension Blood, a hell dimension, into grassland, and the Vampa-Cabras into rabbits. Channeling the amount of magic required for such a feat would have been fatal for someone like Strange, but he bypassed this by transferring the damage to Sentry, who withstood it with extreme ease.; During Knull's invasion of Earth, the Yggdrasil Staff was taken by Black Cat. Felicia used the Staff to destroy several Symbiote Dragons, while in her mind an avatar of the wild magic from Yggdrasil attempted to persuade Felicia into permanently becoming its conduit. Although tempted by the prospect of limitless power and revenge on her enemies, Felicia rejected the magic fearing what she would become. Afterwards, the Staff was used again by Doctor Strange to unleash a powerful blast of magic on the symbiotes during a coordinate attack lead by Jean Grey, and later on the last stand against Knull.; After Doctor Strange lost the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme to Doctor Doom, he traveled to Asgard with the intention of becoming its first Sorcerer Supreme, taking the Yggdrasil Staff with him. Following Thor's request, Strange went to consult Hulda to gain her approbation, as with Loki banished, she was Asgard's magical authority. Hulda asked for the Yggdrasil Staff back, so after Strange gave it to her, she hung it over the fireplace in her temple. However, Hulda was killed, and the Staff remained in Strange's possession. Some time later, Strange used the Yggdrasil Staff to fight an Yggdrasill empowered Aslak, Hulda's real killer.; Due to all links between Asgard and Midgard were sundered in the aftermath of the battle between the Asgardians and the Utgard-Gods, the Asgardians were forgotten and became myth. Doctor Strange, now the Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, tried in vain to use the Yggdrasil Staff to open a portal to Midgard.; ==Properties==; When activated, the Yggdrasil Staff imbues its wielder with the divine magic of Yggdrasill, causing them to temporarily apotheosize into a being similar to an Asgardian, a God of Magic. This power is capable of transmuting an entire dimension.; However, the staff's magic possesses an amoral will of its own that attempts to sway the user into making their apotheosis permanent, with only the strong-willed being capable of resisting without being driven mad with power. ============================================================ Xiphos Kind: item Page: Xiphos Formal name: Xiphos Other aliases: The Sword of the Stars Type: Sword First appearance: Age of Ultron Vol 1 10 Created by: Joe Quesada Reality: Earth-616 Current owner: Angela History: Xiphos, also known as the Sword of the Stars, was a legendary sword Angela acquired under unknown circumstances at some point of her life in Heven.

The pollen could be made into a greenish mist, or a yellow-greenish powder. The pollen of the Yellow Lotus could be delivered either by tossing it, or blowing it through a tube. An antidote existed to the Yellow Lotus powder. Trivia: In "Black Lotus and Yellow Death", the final chapter of the adaptation of the novel Conan and the Sorcerer by Andrew J. Offutt, there is no Black Lotus, but instead only Yellow Lotus. History: The Yellow Lotus of Khitai was used for its lethal pollen. Hisarr Zul tried to kill the young adventurer Conan of Cimmeria by blowing Yellow Lotus powder through a rolled parchment, but Conan blew the other end himself, causing Hisarr Zul to collapse almost instantly, preventing him from using the antidote.; Tatur, the Wigur shaman of the Turanian governor Veziz Shah, gave Thanara a pouch of pollen of the Yellow Lotus of Khitai to use as a last resort against King Conan of Aquilonia, allowing her to capture him and deliver him to King Yezdigerd at Aghrapur. ============================================================ Zero Defect Armor (Earth-38264) Kind: item Page: Zero Defect Armor (Earth-38264) Formal name: Zero Defect Armor Type: Iron Man Armor First appearance: Marvel's Avengers (video game) Created by: Shaun Escayg; Morgan W.

Whether or not this was originated from the Root or from Spider-Man's own powers is unknown. When Red Dot was transformed by the Yeren Root, his Yeren form retained his cybernetic enhancements and plating, which also gave him resistance to magic that was normally harmful to Yeren. History: While working as a servant for Zheng Zu in China, King Wild Man came across the corpse of a Yeren and from its DNA created the Yeren Root, when consumed, allowed its users to transform into yeren. Zu helped "King Wild Man establish a business in New York City's Chinatown to traffic the Root, using a medicine shop as a front.; Many years later, King Wild Man refused to accept Zu's son Shang-Chi as the new Supreme Commander of the Five Weapons Society and continued to traffic the Root, which also caught the attention of Spider-Man, who teamed up with Shang-Chi and Sister Dagger to end his operations. Dagger confronted King Wild Man in his shop, prompting him to consume a Root and attack her. Dagger defeated King Wild Man and brought him to her brother and Spider-Man who had just captured King Wild Man's workers at his warehouse. King Wild Man tricked Spider-Man into helping him up, subsequently placing a Root on him and fled when Spider-Man transformed into a Yeren. Shang-Chi and Sister Dagger were able to remove the Root from Spider-Man, reverting him back to normal.; When King Wild Man was later captured after a failed assassination attempt on Shang-Chi, he slipped a Yeren Root onto Red Dot, turning him into a Yeren and causing him to go on a rampage.; King Wild Man and his crew resurfaced in New York City, where they were defeated by Shang-Chi with the Ten Rings. ============================================================ X-Ray Camera Kind: item Page: X-Ray Camera Formal name: X-Ray Camera Type: Technology First appearance: Fantastic Four Vol 1 10 Created by: Stan Lee; Jack Kirby Reality: Earth-616 Lead designer: Mister Fantastic Place of creation: Baxter Building Current owner: Mister Fantastic History: The X-Ray Camera was a large x-ray device created by Reed Richards.

In honor of his father's passion for playing cards, Jack adopted the moniker "Jack of Hearts" as he embarked on his journey to mete out justice and protect the innocent. Recognizing the immense energy coursing through Jack's body, he dons a specially crafted suit of armor designed to contain and regulate his powers. This armor serves as both a protective shield against external threats and a means of harnessing and controlling Jack's formidable energy output.; Throughout his crusade, Jack frequently collaborated with Ant-Man, who sought to find a cure for Jack's condition. In a heroic act, Jack sacrificed himself to save Ant-Man's daughter.; However, his resurrection by the Scarlet Witch resulted in a catastrophic explosion due to the overwhelming energy contained within him. This tragic event not only claimed the life of Ant-Man but also devastated the Avengers Mansion and its surroundings.; Department H's Dr. Horatio Huxley had managed to get his hands on some amount of the Zero Fluid and exposed it to the mutant Sunfire as part of his "Helios Project," causing the latter's right side to develop a blackish coloration like Jack's. While the fluid was active, his physical stats increased, and he was able to discharge "bio-energy" in addition to his plasma. His body eventually rid itself of the fluid's properties and he returned to normal.; } ============================================================ Yolgjörd Kind: item Page: Yolgjörd Formal name: Yolgjörd Other aliases: Belt of Endurance; Yolgjörd the enduring one; Yolgjörd the protector Type: Belt First appearance: Thor Annual Vol 5 1 Created by: Al Ewing; Martin Coccolo Reality: Earth-616 Origin: Magical; Asgardian Lead designer: Thor Place of creation: Land Without Suns Current owner: Thor Properties: Created using the power of Zeus as a mean to cage it, Yolgjörd is a belt of protection that, according to Thor, protects the most against itself and must be treated with care.

Previous owners: Aries; Capricorn; Death Sting; Nick Fury; Scorpio (Jake Fury LMD); Scorpio (Vernon Fury); Saddam Abed Dasem Notes: The Zodiac key has been credited with giving a unique sentience to the Nick Fury LMD: Max Fury as detailed in Secret Avengers Vol 1 5.; Technological replicas of the Key have been created. History: The Zodiac Key originated in another world called the Ankh Dimension where conflict, especially between the forces of good and evil, in which neither side entirely and permanently defeats the other, is prized above all else. However, when conflict had waned there over time, a cult of beings known as the Brotherhood of Ankh created the Zodiac Key and sent it to Earth, believing that the Key would perpetuate the struggle between good and evil, as the battle was more intense on Earth than in their own world.; The Zodiac Key is made of an unknown material. The holder may control vast psionic forces, enabling him or her to teleport and fire energy blasts. The key can also be used as an infinite energy source for machines. The key is capable of complicated matter manipulation as it was shown creating a restructuring LMD.; The key is capable of independent thought, and will sometimes resist its user's commands, especially when they would end conflict instead of initiating it. It once restored Jake Fury's body after he was grievously wounded without being commanded to do so.; After years of conflict, the Zodiac Key eventually fell into the hands of Jake Fury's grandson Vernon. Vernon's father had told him stories about the true purpose of the Key, and he set out to unlock its secrets. After finding the Zodiac Grand Orrery, Vernon, now under the alias of Scorpio, combined it with the Zodiac Key at the prime meridian in Greenwich, and revealed the existence of a secret passway underneath the earth. Scorpio entered the cave and opened the Zodiac Vault with the Zodiac Key, revealing a gateway to the Zodiac Dimension which thrusted a year worth of future knowledge directly into Scorpio's mind. Spider-Man interfered and pushed Scorpio further into the gateway, causing him to vanish and be teleported a year into the future.; Once Scorpio was dealt with, S.H.I.E.L.D. retrieved the Zodiac Key. Following S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dissolution, the Key fell under the protection of the Lock Box, an underwater storage facility. Once a year passed, the Key started acting up and broke out of the Lock Box on its own to reunite with Scorpio, who had just emerged from the Zodiac Vault. He took the key to the Big Ben, where his company had secretly installed a transmitter made specifically for the key to send a master code to every satellite system. Since the key was immovable and he couldn't pull it off the device, Spider-Man decided to exploit Scorpio's connection to the key. He threw Vernon off the tower, forcing the key to detach from the transmitter to rescue Fury. Once he landed safely on the ground, Scorpio was knocked out cold by Mockingbird. The key was contained by a containment field developed by Horizon University.; ==Alternate Realities==; ===Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999)===; In this reality, the Zodiac Key appears in a glass case in the Broker's shop. ============================================================ ZRT Pull Rifle Kind: item Page: ZRT Pull Rifle Formal name: ZRT Pull Rifle Type: Firearm First appearance: X-Men: Legacy Vol 1 237 Created by: Mike Carey; Greg Land Reality: Earth-616; Earth-80521 Origin: Technology Place of creation: Unknown location, year 2712 Previous owners: Hope Summers Properties: Used as any gun, the ZRT Pull Rifle project energy who blows up the target and propagates outwards on a large distance (even Rogue, standing next to Hope resent pain from the blast).
