== Mad Jim Jaspers ==
'''Sir James "Mad Jim" Jaspers''' is a character in [[American comic books]] seen in [[Marvel Comics]]. He was created by David Thorpe and [[Alan Davis]] for [[Marvel UK]]. He is a powerful supervillain who was the archenemy of [[Captain Britain]] and [[Excalibur (comics)|Excalibur]] as well as a few other heroes as well as the main antagonist of the Excalibur series.

In the reality of Earth-238,<ref>''Marvel Super-Heroes'' #377</ref> James Jaspers, a British politician waged a political war on mutants. He had been elected into office as a member of the English Parliament because of his anti mutant and anti super heroes stance and politics, however Jaspers was a mutant himself with powerful reality-warping abilities. His political façade and motivations for the elimination of his fellow mutants and superheroes was essentially to ensure his supremacy. Jaspers seemed a gifted politician and adapt at swaying popular public opinion, with lines such as "if they were honest they wouldn't wear masks" but whether he was always mad, or descended into madness with the advent of his mutant reality warping powers, Jaspers had lost his sanity. Jaspers of Earth-238 was so determined to rid his world of mutants, he began to move beyond drumming up anti-mutant sentiment and constructed an incredibly powerful adaptive cybernetic construct known simply as [[Fury (Marvel Comics)|the Fury]] to hunt and eliminate all superpowered beings.

Jaspers had also formed an advanced technological equipped military task force charged with eliminating super powered beings known as the Status Crew. Typically the Status Crew would round up powered beings to be held in concentration camps with their extermination there not long after. The Fury would deal with bigger threats. It would take less than two years for super powered beings to be on the verge of extinction. The Fury had been programmed by Jaspers to allow Jaspers to live as the sole powered being.

Unmatched in power by any other being, any potential threats ruthlessly destroyed by the Fury, Jaspers adopted the persona of Mad Jim Jaspers, a bank robber and crook paying homage to the [[Mad Hatter]] from [[Alice in Wonderland]] as well as continuing the [[Lewis Carroll]] book theme with his own bank robbing crew, the Crazy Gang. It was around this time that the Omniversal Guardian Merlyn aware of not just this reality's version of Jaspers danger to the multiverse, but the Jim Jaspers of the 616 reality who Merlyn realized possessed even greater reality warping power. Merlyn would teleport one of the few remaining super heroes of Earth-238, Captain UK Linda McQuillan, to the 616 designated reality. Importantly he would also do so whilst she was being observed by the deadly cybiote the Fury. The Earth of 238 would fall into disarray due to the mad machinations and reality warping of Jaspers. It had become known as a crooked earth. Of similar concern was that the Jaspers of 616 had begun his political ascension, a worrying sign of things to come.<ref>''Daredevils'' #7</ref>

Upon returning to mainstream reality/616, Captain Britain found that another Sir James Jaspers was leading an anti-superhero campaign, with the aid of [[Henry Peter Gyrich]] and [[Sebastian Shaw (character)|Sebastian Shaw]], members of the [[Hellfire Club (comics)|Hellfire Club]].

Jaspers managed to win a landslide general election victory on his anti-superhero platform and became Prime Minister of Britain. Events began to mirror those of Earth-238 and Jaspers unleashed the force of the Jaspers Warp upon London, causing much chaos and devastation. However, Jaspers found himself under attack from the reality-hopping Fury, and the two engage in a large-scale reality-warping battle in which Jaspers was ultimately killed by the Fury who teleported him outside the universe, where he would have no reality to control and thus be rendered powerless.

'''Maha Yogi''' is a fictional character in the [[Marvel Universe]]. He first appeared in ''[[Journey into Mystery]]'' #96 (September 1963), and was created by [[Stan Lee]] and [[Jack Kirby]].

Yogi was apparently born 10,000 years ago in what is now Central Europe. He apparently was a savage that came to possess some portion of the same Bloodgem that [[Ulysses Bloodstone]] would later possess, which gave him immortality and eternal youth. He later came to Britain during the time of Camelot, and impersonated the real [[Merlin (Marvel Comics)#Merlin of Legend|Merlin]] while he was away. The [[Eternals (comics)|Eternal]] [[Sersi]] exposed the impostor, and the real Merlin placed him in suspended animation.<ref>origin revealed in ''The Incredible Hulk'' (vol. 2) #210</ref>

The false Merlin was revived in modern times, still posing as Merlin, and battled and was defeated by [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]], after which he went back into the coffin.<ref>''Journey into Mystery'' #96</ref> He later became a professional criminal and took the name '''Warlock''', organizing a band of armored mercenaries. He abducted [[Jean Grey|Marvel Girl]], battled the original [[X-Men]], and was rendered comatose by [[Professor X]].<ref>''X-Men'' #30</ref>

Later, as the mentalist '''Maha Yogi''', he attempted to create an army of mind-slaves. He fought and was defeated by the [[Beast (Marvel Comics)|Beast]] and [[Iceman (Marvel Comics)|Iceman]].<ref>''X-Men'' #47</ref> The Maha Yogi then became the chairman of Merlin Industries. With Mongu, the Maha Yogi plotted world conquest, but was defeated by the [[Hulk]] and [[Doctor Druid]]. During his encounter with the Hulk, his fragment of the Bloodgem was destroyed and he rapidly aged into helplessness.<ref>''The Incredible Hulk'' (vol. 2) #210–211</ref> Some time later, the Maha Yogi was revealed to have been created by the Caretakers of Arcturus and to have turned against them.<ref>''Doctor Strange'' (vol. 3) #27</ref> He later appeared alive with his youth apparently restored by unknown means.<ref>''The Avengers'' Annual #22</ref>

As a result of mutation induced by the Caretakers of Arcturus, the Maha Yogi had the psionic abilities to control the minds of others, create illusions, project psionic force bolts, levitate objects as large as a building, teleport himself, create force fields and alter his own appearance. His psionic powers have a limited range.

Thanks to his possession of a fragment of the Bloodstone, the Maha Yogi is virtually immortal, and has a physically malleable body.

He has attempted to use true magic, performing a ritual to summon the demon known as Grendel's Mother.<ref>''Captain Marvel'' (vol. 5) #20–21</ref>

The man who would be known in the modern age only as Master Izo was a member of the organization [[The Hand (comics)|The Hand]] hundreds of years ago in Feudal Japan. Following the death of its founder, Kagenobu Yoshioka, and its transformation from a samurai alliance into a ninja cult in service to a demon, Izo chose to leave. At this time he put out his eyes, which enabled him to see the world, he claimed, as Yoshioka had (and as Daredevil later would).<ref name="daredevil500">''Daredevil'' #500</ref>

Izo would later found [[The Chaste]], a rival martial arts association situated atop a sheer cliff known as the Wall. However, his unhindered nature eventually led his students to vote him out, disgusted with his drinking and gambling. [[Stick (character)|Stick]] took his place as the leader of the Chaste. Izo was revealed to have been present shortly after the accident which gave Matt Murdock his superhuman senses, and reported this information anonymously to Stick. Later still, he became the trainer of the future supervillain and Hand assassin [[Lady Bullseye]], who he promised would one day become the Hand's leader.<ref name=daredevil500/> He is mentioned a number of times in the [[Iron Fist (character)|Book of the Iron Fist]].<ref>''Daredevil'' vol. 2 #114</ref>

Much later, following the death of the [[Skrull]] posing as Hand leader [[Elektra (character)|Elektra]], Izo journeyed to New York City, where the four remaining ninja-lords of the Hand were assembling to forcibly induct Daredevil as the new leader. Izo intervened to assist Daredevil in driving them off, which led them to switch their focus to the [[Kingpin (character)|Kingpin]]. Izo's purpose was to manoeuvre Daredevil into taking the position, as a means of reforming the Hand away from its corrupted state. He was also revealed to have placed [[Black Tarantula]] within the Hand as a mole, unbeknownst to Daredevil. Ultimately, Daredevil accepted the position, and ordered that the Kingpin and Lady Bullseye be banished. Her erstwhile ally's treachery exposed, Lady Bullseye vowed to kill Izo, who told her to "get in line."<ref>''Daredevil'' vol. 2 #111–119</ref><ref name=daredevil500/> Subsequently, Izo fakes his own murder at the hands of Daredevil to trick the Hand into accepting Daredevil as their leader.<ref>''Daredevil'' #501–502</ref> He later shows up in Shadowland to reveal to the heroes involved in the battle against Daredevil and the Hand to explain his discovery that Matt Murdock had been possessed by the Beast.<ref>''Shadowland'' #3</ref>

Master Izo is a formidable martial artist, one of the finest anywhere in the world, including being able to wield two katana at once. He has considerable stamina, enabling him to traverse the city by jumping on rooftops. Despite (or rather, as a result of) being blind, he has superhuman-radar senses, much as Daredevil does. He also evidently possesses some form of immortality or at least life-extending capability, as he is now somewhere in the area of 500 years old.

He appeared in the flesh for the first time in as an old man.<ref>''Wolverine'' vol. 2 #61</ref> He was supposed to be aging much slower than other humans due to an aging-suppression factor given to him at [[Weapon X]]. As the aging-suppression had somehow failed, he ultimately died of old age in [[Jubilee (character)|Jubilee]]'s arms.<ref>''Wolverine'' vol. 2 #62</ref>

=== Manuel Eloganto ===
The first one, '''Manuel Eloganto''', first appeared in ''Daredevil'' #5 (Dec. 1964), and was created by [[Stan Lee]] and [[Wally Wood]]. He was once the most famous bull fighter of Spain. However, his cruelty and brutality towards the bulls made the crowd hate him. When a riot broke loose during one of his performances, Manuel had to be rushed to the hospital. After his recovery, he swore revenge upon all mankind. From that moment on, he vanished from sight, starting to make evil schemes. Matador primarily crossed paths with [[Daredevil (Marvel Comics character)|Daredevil]] and fought him on numerous occasions. He even joined the [[Emissaries of Evil]] and teamed up with characters such as [[Electro (comics)|Electro]], [[Gladiator (Melvin Potter)|Gladiator]], [[Leap-Frog (comics)|Leap-Frog]], and [[Stilt-Man]]. He later ironically teamed up with [[Man-Bull]]. Despite being seen as something of a joke villain, he has managed to frequently pose a threat to Daredevil.

=== Juan ===
The second one, '''Juan''', first appeared in ''Daredevil'' vol. 2 #89 (Sept. 2006), and was created by [[Ed Brubaker]] and [[Michael Lark]]. As one of finest matadors in Spain, Juan was hired by [[Vanessa Fisk]], in a complicated plot against Daredevil, to carry out various ploys. Matador agreed, and learned he would be teamed up with Lily Lucca, Tombstone, and lawyer Alton Lennox.

'''Match''' ('''Ben Hamill''') is a [[fictional character]] appearing in comic books published by [[Marvel Comics]]. A [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]], Hamill attended the [[X-Mansion|Xavier Institute]] before its closing. While at the institute, Hamill was the field leader of the [[Paragons (comics)|Paragons training squad]].

===Publication history===
The character, created by [[Nunzio DeFilippis]] and [[Christina Weir]], first appeared in ''New Mutants'' Vol. 2 #7. DeFilippis revealed that while he and Weir created the character, he was based on a background mutant from ''New X-Men: Academy X'', #7. "We saw a cool bit of artwork in the background of a panel (I think it was Carlo Barberi who first drew him) and thought for a few seconds about a name, codename, and power set."<ref name="DeFilippisWeir" />

===Fictional character biography===
While spending time in his home town park, Ben Hamill suddenly manifested his mutant powers. Unable to control his powers, Ben set flame to the town's park.

After the manifestation of his powers, Ben was enrolled in the [[X-Mansion|Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters]]. While at the school, he chose the codename Match, where he was present at Xavier's special assembly head by the headmaster [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]] to inform the student body of an explosion that happened the night before caused by [[Magma (character)|Magma]], who had been awoken from a coma by [[Elixir (character)|Elixir]] and [[Hellion (character)|Hellion]]. Xavier preached about heroism being more than being brave.<ref>''New X-Men II'' #7. Marvel Comics.</ref>

After enrolling at the institute, Match is assigned to the Paragons training squad under [[Wolfsbane (character)|Wolfsbane]]'s tutelage.<ref>''New X-Men II'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> Though hot-tempered, Match is a natural leader, and consequently, was named as the field leader for his squad.<ref>''New X-Men: Academy X: Yearbook Special''. Marvel Comics.</ref> Following the "[[House of M]]" event, Match is one of the 198 mutants who retain their powers after the [[Scarlet Witch]]'s spell depowers most mutants on Earth.<ref>''[[X-Men: The 198 Files]]''. Marvel Comics.</ref> In "[[House of X and Powers of X|House of X]]", Match becomes a citizen of Krakoa shortly after it is established as a mutant nation.<ref>''[[House of X and Powers of X|House of X]]'' #6 (December 2019)</ref>

Ben's abilities are pyrokinesis, enabling him to produce and manipulate flame. In addition, he is seemingly immune to fire and high temperatures. As a side effect of his powers, Ben's head remains constantly aflame, though it appears that he can control the extent of the flaming; during a Danger Room session, he is able to maintain some level of stealth by lowering the intensity of his head flame.  Ben's body is always glowing, and emits heat, however it is not hot enough to burn his clothing.

===Match in other media===
Match makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Dark Phoenix (film)|Dark Phoenix]]'', portrayed by [[Lamar Johnson (actor)|Lamar Johnson]].<ref name="DeFilippisWeir">{{Cite web |last=Johnston |first=Rich |author-link=Rich Johnston |date=September 7, 2019 |title=When You Get Paid For a Character No One Realised Was in X-Men: Dark Phoenix |url=https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/09/07/character-x-men-dark-phoenix/ |access-date=September 7, 2019 |website=Bleeding Cool News}}</ref>

== Matthew Plunder ==
'''Matthew Plunder''' is a fictional character appearing in [[American comic books]] published by [[Marvel Comics]]. He is the son of [[Ka-Zar (Kevin Plunder)|Ka-Zar]] and [[Shanna the She-Devil]]. He lived with his family in the [[Savage Land]]. The character, created by Chris Claremont and Art Adams, first appeared in ''X-Men Annual'' #12 (June, 1988).

When [[Skaar (character)|Skaar]] accidentally unleashed The Designer from its prison, it possessed his mother Shanna and tried to kill Matthew. He escaped into the jungle, but after meeting up with Skaar, was captured by those working for the Designer, when Skaar deemed it more important to save his people than Matthew. He was placed inside the wormhole on the Savage Land and was rescued along with all the other trapped souls by Skaar. He then joined the army that was formed and was seen alive after the Designer was defeated.<ref>''Skaar: King of the Savage Land''</ref>

A much older Matthew saved the life of [[Valeria Richards]] with his [[Pterosaur]] Dax after she was dropped by one of the Swamp Men's Terror Birds in midair. After straightening out the situation with the alien Prah'd'gul, Valeria played small talk with Matthew about his age progression through a time traveling incident and flirted with him as they went their separate ways.<ref>''Fantastic Four: The Prodigal Sun'' #1</ref>

As part of this initiative, Maverick is selected for his unique genetic compatibility to undergo enhancement via the Hulk Plug-In, a device developed by Avengers Idea Mechanics, implanted in his wrist which allows him to transform into a Red Hulk form for approximately one hour every day and a half. Maverick retains his mustache and sunglasses in his transformed state unlike [[Thunderbolt Ross]] (the original Red Hulk). Maverick subsequently joins the [[U.S.Avengers]] as part of the organization's primary field team.<ref>[[Ewing, Al]] (w), Medina, Paco (p), Vlasco, Juan (i).

'''Mayhem''' ('''Brigid O'Reilly''') is a fictional character appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. The character of detective Brigid O'Reilly first appeared in ''[[Cloak and Dagger (comics)|Cloak and Dagger]]'' #1 (October 1983) and was created by [[Bill Mantlo]] and [[Rick Leonardi]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=DeFalco |first=Tom |title=The Marvel Encyclopedia |last2=Sanderson |first2=Peter |last3=Brevoort |first3=Tom |last4=Teitelbaum |first4=Michael |last5=Wallace |first5=Daniel |last6=Darling |first6=Andrew |last7=Forbeck |first7=Matt |last8=Cowsill |first8=Alan |last9=Bray |first9=Adam |date=2019 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1-4654-7890-0 |page=236}}</ref> In ''[[Cloak and Dagger (comics)|Cloak and Dagger]]'' vol. 2 #5 (March 1986), Brigid is killed and resurrected as Mayhem.

Brigid O'Reilly was originally a police [[detective]] in Manhattan when she learned that [[Cloak and Dagger (characters)|Cloak and Dagger]] were attacking criminals in her precinct. She at first wanted to bring the pair to justice,<ref>''Cloak and Dagger'' #1</ref> but she eventually learned to trust the young crime-fighters.<ref>''Cloak and Dagger'' #4</ref> Later, she took a squad of police officers to investigate a warehouse belonging to the same pharmaceutical company that was behind Cloak's and Dagger's powers. Some corrupt policemen, led by Roger Falcone, exposed the other police officers to a gas to asphyxiate them. With her dying breath, Brigid swore vengeance on Falcone. As Brigid lay dying, Cloak and Dagger found her, and though were too late to save the other police, Cloak surrounded her and Dagger with darkness, while Dagger tried to revive her with light. When this appeared not to work, the pair abandoned her body to search for those responsible.<ref>''Cloak and Dagger'' vol. 2 #1–4</ref>

Though O'Reilly died, she was reborn as Mayhem. In this new form, Mayhem helped Cloak and Dagger find and fight the corrupt police. She then killed Falcone as promised.<ref>''Cloak and Dagger'' vol. 2 #5</ref> She then became a vigilante, showing no mercy to the drug dealers and other criminals she pursues. Mayhem was considered as a "potential recruit" for the [[Fifty State Initiative|Initiative]] program, according to ''Civil War: Battle Damage Report''.<ref name="civilwarbattledamage">{{Cite comic |date=March 2007 |title=Civil War: Battle Damage Report |issue=1 |publisher=[[Marvel Comics]] |writer=[[Anthony Flamini]] & [[Ronald Byrd]] |penciller=[[Scott Kolins]] |inker=[[Scott Kolins]]}}</ref>

Mayhem exudes a green, venomous gas from her pores. If this gas enters another person's bloodstream, it paralyzes the person for a varying amount of time. Mayhem attacks people by raking their skin with her talon-like fingernails so that the gas will enter their bloodstreams.

Daughter of District Attorney William "Bill" Hollister, socialite Lily Hollister was dating [[Harry Osborn]]. Lily found a hidden door in Harry Osborn's closet and found an old journal of his.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #545</ref> She uncovered the location of one of Norman Osborn's secret rooms in the journal. When she had first gone in, she found all of the Goblin's equipment along with some experiments. After accidentally knocking over some experimental Goblin chemicals, she absorbed them into her skin, and was now able to transform into her "Menace" form at will. Stealing a weapons cache of the original Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, Menace was later hunted down by [[Jackpot (character)|Jackpot]]. During her search, she met Spider-Man and reluctantly accepted his help. Menace attacked a council meeting and kidnapped councilwoman Lisa Parfrey, with Spider-Man and Jackpot working together to try and stop her. Menace's glider slammed into the rescued councilwoman, killing her, and Menace escaped the crime scene, but not before accusing Spider-Man of being responsible for the woman's death.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #549–551</ref>

Menace later tried to threaten Bill Hollister, her father and one of the candidates for the election, into dropping out of the race for mayor while she continued supporting him in her public identity. She was sabotaging his campaign for his own good against Randall Crowne, his opponent, and began destroying her fathers advertisements. She also broke into their home and tried to threaten him into backing out of the running. Menace then proceeded to threaten the supposedly 'redeemed' Norman Osborn who had come to town when her actions inadvertently revealed that Crowne had been operating an illegal sweatshop in the city and Crowne asked him for help. Menace recreated Osborn's original death by ramming him with her glider, however, Osborn survived the attack and Menace spared him, after accusing Osborn of being a fool for devoting all his time and assets to Spider-Man's destruction. During the [[Secret Invasion|Skrull Invasion]], Lily and Harry Osborn were attacked on the street, after getting away from Harry and changing into Menace she killed one of the invading [[Skrulls]], and then set her sights on Jackpot, believing her to be "Spider-Man's girlfriend". Their fight took her into the path of one of the Skrulls, with Menace's glider exploding on contact. Menace survived, though badly injured, and limped away from the scene.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #586</ref>

When Menace attacked a Hollister Rally, she managed to badly beat Spider-Man (who had earlier been shot through the arm) and claimed a "citizen's arrest" to the arriving police. Menace then flew into the Hollister party headquarters, and changed back into Lily Hollister, just before Harry walked in on her. She revealed to Harry that she was Menace. She then told Harry that she accepted his earlier marriage proposal.<ref name="amazingspiderman588">''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #588</ref> On Election Day, Menace attacked two police officers for arresting her former friend [[Carlie Cooper]] for a crime she didn't commit, then attacked Spider-Man when he appeared. Menace was about to finish him until Harry, as the Green Goblin, appeared and shot Menace with a serum, with Spider-Man giving her the full injection. This caused Menace to change back into Lily and was seen in a live broadcast, with her father watching in shock and in tears of this revelation. A few days after the event, with Bill Hollister as the new Mayor of New York, Lily was now in prison and was visited by Norman Osborn, who discovered the engagement ring given to her by Harry and welcomed her to the family.<ref name=amazingspiderman588/>

She is later seen released from prison and approaches Harry in her Menace form, telling him that she's "moved on". Harry believes that she has started a relationship with Norman and warns her that she will be disposed of once Norman's done with her.<ref>''Amazing Spider-Man Extra!'' #3</ref>

During the ''[[Dark Reign (comics)|Dark Reign]]'' storyline, Lily reappears in her Menace form to Harry Osborn in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #595 threatening Harry's life at first, but then showing Harry that she is pregnant. After this, Harry calls Norman Osborn to inform him that he will be accepting his invitation to work for the [[Dark Avengers]], which highly upsets Peter Parker. Harry's real reason for joining is to steal a cure for the serum to use on Lily and the baby so they can be healthy.

However, she pushes him away and reveals that it was all a ruse to make Harry become [[Iron Patriot|American Son]] so he could be used to die in a tragedy to engender sympathy and support for Norman. She also shows a new goblin form, with a decidedly more feminine figure, large full horns, and a green complexion. Lily reveals to Harry that Norman is actually the father of the baby.<ref name="AMS598">''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #598</ref> She then goes to work for Norman's Dark Avengers in an unknown capacity.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #599</ref> After Norman's [[Heroic Age (comics)|fall from power]], Lily is on the run from the law. It is also revealed that, due to the time of conception, there is a possibility that Harry is the father of her unborn child.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man presents: American Son'' # 1</ref>

In the "Origin of Species" storyline, Lily crashes into Harry Osborn's coffee shop and gives birth to a baby boy. Then a group of supervillains, hired by [[Doctor Octopus]], attack her and kidnap the baby.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #642</ref> Spider-Man manages to rescue the baby, but he is stolen again by [[Lizard (character)|Lizard]].<ref name="The Amazing Spider-Man #645">''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #645</ref> Spider-Man manages to track him down, only to have the Lizard willingly give the baby back to Spider-Man because his tests to determine paternity prove that Norman is not the father. Word of her child's safety (but not the paternity) gets back to Lily, who is relieved. She runs away because she feels she is unfit to raise the child.<ref name="The Amazing Spider-Man #645" /> Spider-Man later tests Harry's blood, revealing that he is in fact the father, and leaves the child in his care.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #646</ref>

As part of the ''[[Marvel NOW!]]'' event, Menace returns showing her allegiance to the [[Green Goblin|Goblin King]] as part of his underground Goblin Nation when it comes to preparing for the fight against [[The Superior Spider-Man|Superior Spider-Man]] (Doctor Octopus' mind in Spider-Man's body). Menace is ordered to disarm the prison truck that captured [[Phil Urich]] (the former [[Hobgoblin (comics)|Hobgoblin]]) before taking him to the underground and christening him as the Goblin Knight.<ref>''The Superior Spider-Man'' #16</ref>

Menace later kidnaps Carlie Cooper from Potter's Field after she finds that Doctor Octopus' grave is empty and brings her to the Goblin King. Menace then gives the Goblin King the journal revealing the secret about Superior Spider-Man.<ref>''The Superior Spider-Man'' #21</ref> During the Green Goblin's takeover of Manhattan, the real Spider-Man returns and defeats the Goblin Nation. In the process, he uses an antidote for the Goblin Serum on Menace, turning her back to a normal human.<ref>''The Superior Spider-Man'' #31</ref>

During the ''[[AXIS (comics)|AXIS]]'' storyline, Phil Urich tries to free Lily Hollister from police custody, blowing up the police car in which she was being transferred. She survives, but is rendered amnesiac and becomes the heroine Queen Cat under [[Roderick Kingsley]].<ref>''AXIS: Hobgoblin'' #1</ref><ref>''AXIS: Hobgoblin'' #2</ref>

'''Microbe''' ('''Zachary Smith Jr.''') is a fictional superhero appearing in [[Marvel Comics]]. The character, created by [[Skottie Young]] and [[Zeb Wells]], first appeared in ''New Warriors'' (vol. 3) #1. He is a [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] with the ability to communicate with [[Microorganism|germs]] and other microscopic [[organisms]]. He was a member of the [[New Warriors]].
 	
Smith has a rather tragic past. His biological father, a prominent medical researcher, thought he had discovered a way to cure previously incurable diseases. Instead, it turned out that Microbe had unknowingly used his mutant power and "talked" the diseases into acting out the results his father wanted.<ref>''New Warriors'' (vol. 3) #1</ref> Disgraced, his father disowned Microbe, leaving the teen heartbroken and alone. Out of compassion, [[Night Thrasher (Dwayne Taylor)|Night Thrasher]] adopted him and began training him to be a superhero, making him a member of the New Warriors.<ref>''New Warriors'' (vol. 3) #3</ref>
	
While tracking some escaped supervillains with the New Warriors, Microbe, alongside his foster father Night Thrasher, is killed in Stamford, Connecticut as part of the New Warriors reality show.<ref>''[[Civil War (comic book)|Civil War]]'' #1</ref> This event sparks the need for the [[Superhuman Registration Act]] and the ensuing [[Civil War (comics)|Civil War]], as well as making the surviving and former New Warriors members the most hated people in the US.

'''Midnight's Fire''' is a [[fictional]] [[supervillain]] appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. He first appeared in ''The [[New Warriors]]'' #2 (Aug. 1990), and was created by [[Fabian Nicieza]] and [[Mark Bagley]]. Midnight's Fire is a mutant.  His powers and his sister [[Silhouette (comics)|Silhouette]]'s powers are derived from their ability to tap into the extradimensional energy of the ''Universal Wellspring'', due to being descendants of the Dragon's Breath Cult which had based their cult around the base of one of the wells for centuries.

In 1966 during the [[Vietnam War]], an American recon patrol in [[Cambodia]] stumbled upon the ancient, hidden [[temple]] of a cult known as the '''Dragon's Breath''', which had remained hidden for centuries. It had been built upon a well-spring of raw, primal energy called the "Well of All Things". The inhabitants decided to breed a superior race that would one day unite with the ways of the west. They believed that this union would produce children capable of harnessing the power of the Well. The members of the recon patrol were to be the fathers of these children, one of these men was Andrew Chord the man who would become Midnight Fire's and Silhouette's father.<ref>''The New Warriors'' #22</ref>

Midnight's Fire and his sister [[Silhouette (comics)|Silhouette]] are the only children of Andrew Chord, former guardian of '''Dwayne Taylor''' ([[Night Thrasher (Dwayne Taylor)|Night Thrasher]]) and his wife Miyami (daughter of [[Tai (comics)|Tai]]). Silhouette, Midnight's Fire and Dwayne began an organized effort to take down various New York City [[street gangs]],<ref name="The New Warriors #2">''The New Warriors'' #2</ref> but their partnership ended when Silhouette was shot and paralyzed from the waist down. Midnight's Fire blamed Dwayne and became a cop killer and a [[druglord]] to lure Dwayne into a physical confrontation he could not possibly win.<ref name="The New Warriors #2" />

Diego Cassias, one of the other members of the recon patrol now calling himself the [[Left Hand (comics)|Left Hand]], stole the power of the Well from his own child, then gathered the other children of the pact including Midnight's Fire into a group called the '''Folding Circle'''. The Circle attempted to take control of the Well away from Tai. Members of the Circle, together with the New Warriors, managed to defeat Tai, but the Well was sealed, Cassias and Tai were apparently killed, and the surviving members of the Circle escaped in a stolen Avenger's Quinjet.<ref>''The New Warriors'' #21–25</ref> The remaining members of the Folding Circle later crashed in [[Madripoor]] and attempted to usurp the role of local druglord, which was then held by Aardwolf, a [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|Mutant]] crimelord. They succeeded, but were later taken down by Night Thrasher and Silhouette.<ref>''Night Thrasher'' #3–4</ref>

Midnight's Fire returned in the newest volume of 'New Warriors'. He has a face to face meeting with Night Thrasher, whom he still believes is Dwayne but is in fact Donyell, for the purposes of arranging an 'alliance'. Midnight's Fire leaves, telling Night Thrasher he would think about it. It's after the meeting that Midnight's Fire is working on behalf of another individual. He expresses displeasure at working with this entity.<ref>''New Warriors'' vol. 4 #7–8 (2007)</ref>

Midnight's Fire is a [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|Mutant]] like his sister [[Silhouette (comics)|Silhouette]]. His powers come from the Universal Wellspring.<ref>''[[Thunderbolts (comics)|Thunderbolts]]'' #107</ref>
*Midnight's Fire has subtle para-human abilities. Due to the energies of the ''Well of All Things'' his physical attributes are raised to slightly beyond the peak of human possibility. He thus possesses enhanced speed, strength, agility, endurance and sensory perception slightly superior to [[Captain America]]; and he may well surpass these abilities as he grows in age and power. Midnight's Fire also possesses a degree of superhuman resilience; able to at least briefly survive a plunge into a pool of acetone without harm; and to fight an armoured Night Thrasher barehanded without suffering significant harm.
*Midnight's Fire is also a skilled [[martial artist]].

Milan uses his powers to record various memories off Moira into the Acolyte computer systems. Moira is soon rescued by the heroic [[X-Men]].<ref>''The [[Uncanny X-Men]]'' #300 (May 1993)</ref> With the other Acolytes, Milan leaves [[Fabian Cortez]] thanks to [[Exodus (comics)|Exodus]], and rejoin [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]]; they appear at [[Magik (Illyana Rasputina)|Illyana]]'s funeral, where they recruit [[Colossus (character)|Colossus]].<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #304 (Sep 1993)</ref> The X-Men attack Avalon, and Milan assists the Acolytes in defending it.<ref>''X-Men'' #25 (Oct. 1993)</ref>

They travel to Magneto's old Arctic base to teleport to Avalon, but Cable finds that Omega Red has already been captured at the base by the Acolytes, who reveal the trap they have laid for Cable as well.<ref>''Cable'' #10 (April 1994)</ref> Cable escapes by ordering the lights to turn off; Milan and [[Joanna Cargill]] search for him, but Cable captures Milan. Cable is able to stop the Acolytes from using Omega Red in their plan to release his virus as a shield to keep humans from getting to Avalon.<ref>''Cable'' #11 (May 1994)</ref> Milan is later present at the trial of [[Neophyte (comics)|Neophyte]]. He talks about the recruitment of the young man in question. He and several other Acolytes had talked to the man through an abandoned church door for two days. This attempt works.

At this point, the group is being led by [[Exodus (comics)|Exodus]], who taken over when Magneto was rendered mentally inert by [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]]. Milan studies the emaciated form of Holocaust and conveys to the group that what they have is indeed a mutant. Milan agrees with Peter Rasputin, [[Colossus (character)|Colossus]] that bringing the man aboard was not a good idea. For this doubt, he is assigned solitary guard duty on Holocaust. Milan ponders doubts that Exodus might not be the best leader. He receives a psychic flash from the captive and thus learns many details of the 'Age Of Apocalypse' universe, most notably that Magneto led the X-Men. Moments later, Holocaust consumes Milan from the feet up. [[Rusty Collins]], a fellow doubting Acolyte is sent to investigate Milan's vanishing. Holocaust consumes him as well.<ref>''X-Men'' #42 (July 1995)</ref>

Jealous of Opal's interest in Drake, as well as fearing that Drake may be seeking to harm her, Mole followed the two on their date. Mole grew angry as he watched Opal and Drake interact and inadvertently disintegrated a portion of a crane which dropped on the two. Drake fought back, believing it to be an attack from an evil mutant, but Opal stopped the fight as soon as she recognized Mole. The two explained their relationship to Mole. Mole felt sorry for himself and returned to the Morlock tunnels, where Sabretooth was waiting for him.<ref>''X-Factor'' #53. Marvel Comics.</ref>

It was later revealed that Mole survived by tunneling to safety and he later became an inhabitant of [[Krakoa]] when it was established as a mutant country. After Sabretooth escaped from the Pit of Exile, Mole thought he saw him and got weary.<ref>''Sabretooth'' Vol. 4 #1. Marvel Comics.</ref>

== Mondo ==
'''Mondo''' is the name of two characters which have appeared in the series ''[[Generation X (comics)|Generation X]]''. The first Mondo was a [[superhero]] later revealed to be a [[cloning|clone]] of the [[supervillain]] Mondo, who appeared years later. The first Mondo debuted in ''[[Generation X (comics)|Generation X]]'' #3.

Not much is known of the [[Samoans|Samoan]] mutant called Mondo. He was once friends with Cordelia Frost, [[Emma Frost]]'s younger sister.<ref>''Generation X'' #3</ref> In an attempt to make a bid for the position of White Queen of the [[Hellfire Club (comics)|Hellfire Club]], Cordelia had Mondo contained and handed him over to the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club. Cordelia's scheme backfired; the Hellfire Club kept Mondo but denied Cordelia membership. Cordelia went to Emma, headmistress of the Massachusetts Academy, for help and, soon after, Mondo was rescued by [[Generation X (comics)|Generation X]] and subsequently accepted an invitation to join the school.<ref>''Generation X'' Annual '95</ref>

Generation X later learned that the Mondo they had rescued was a plant-based clone created by [[Black Tom Cassidy]] who had infiltrated the Hellfire Club and rescued Mondo. After taking Mondo under his wing, Black Tom created a [[cloning|clone]] of him to infiltrate the Massachusetts Academy so that Black Tom could exact vengeance on his cousin, [[Banshee (character)|Banshee]], who was the headmaster of the academy.<ref name="Generation X #25">''Generation X'' #25</ref>

As Banshee and Emma Frost battled Black Tom, the Mondo clone began hunting down the members of Generation X. As the Mondo clone was about to attack [[Jubilee (character)|Jubilee]], he was killed by [[Bastion (comics)|Bastion]].<ref name="Generation X #25" />

Later, the real Mondo appeared alongside Black Tom and [[Juggernaut (character)|Juggernaut]]. Completely loyal to Black Tom, the real Mondo battled the members of Generation X. Generation X attempted to talk to Mondo into not fighting, but Mondo laughed at them, reminding them that he has never met them before. Generation X and their teachers were able to defeat their opponents, but the trio still managed to escape.<ref>''Generation X'' #60–61</ref>

Mondo was confirmed to be alive and powered as he appeared with the rest of Generation X during Cyclops' Million Mutant March in Washington D.C.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #600</ref>

Mondo is capable of taking on the properties of any organic or inorganic material with which he comes into contact. When using his power, Mondo is able to grow in mass with an assumed proportionate growth in strength to superhuman levels.Mondo can absorb matter into his body, gaining the mass, appearance, and other properties of the matter in question. This change will remain until Mondo's body "digests" the organic matter, which is then disintegrated. Mondo is also able to use his power to travel through organic matter, such as dirt, and can appear instantaneously in the immediate vicinity of where he entered the earth.

== Moondark ==
'''Moondark''' is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Moondark operated as a stage magician in [[San Francisco]], and when [[Spider-Man]] came to town he feared that Spider-Man would interfere with his plans. While [[Werewolf by Night|Jack Russell]] observed his performance at a small bijou, Moondark mesmerized the whole audience including Jack (also known as the '''Werewolf'''). Moondark sent the Werewolf to ambush Spider-Man at the San Francisco Bay, where he was vacationing. As the two heroes fought, Spider-Man discovered and tackled Moondark, who was killed as he fell into the water.<ref>''Marvel-Team Up'' #12</ref>

The Dark Beings whom Moondark worshipped claimed his soul but allowed him to return to Earth to claim other souls and buy back his own. He acted as a stage performer at a carnival in New York and created a Soul-Orb to claim the souls of the other carnival performers one by one. The [[Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze)|Ghost Rider]], Johnny Blaze, while working at the carnival also lost his soul to Moondark, which Moondark kept in a ring he wore. Spider-Man, as Peter Parker, went to the carnival and recognized the Ghost Rider who was now a part of Moondark's show. Parker returned as Spider-Man, but was captured by the Ghost Rider and the others under Moondark's control. When Moondark tried to steal Spider-Man's soul, he was able to destroy Moondark's ring and free the Ghost Rider, who destroyed the Soul-Orb with a burst of hellfire. Moondark's demonic master arrived to take the only soul available—Moondark's.<ref>''Marvel-Team Up'' #91</ref>

Moondark was able to return to the living world, seeking to reclaim Blaze's valuable soul to bargain for his own. Lairing outside Las Vegas, he sent mutated vultures to attack Blaze and attract his attention. He tricked Ghost Rider into resuming human form, subdued him and bound him with magical bonds that prevented him from transforming. Hamilton Slade, then known as the [[Phantom Rider]], was nearby and drawn to the magical conflict. When Moondark attacked Slade, his concentration weakened which allowed Blaze to break free and transform into Ghost Rider again. Ghost Rider destroyed the new Soul-Orb and Moondark fled to his other-dimensional realm.<ref>''Ghost Rider'' (vol. 2) #56</ref>

Moondark joined forces with the [[Aqueduct (comics)|Water Wizard]] to get revenge on Blaze. Moondark enhanced the Water Wizard's power which allowed him to overpower Ghost Rider, and Moondark appeared and mocked the seemingly helpless Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider set Moondark's body on fire, and he fled back to his dimension.<ref>''Ghost Rider'' (vol. 2) #59</ref>

== Melissa Morbeck ==
'''Melissa Morbeck''' is a fictional character appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. She is an entrepreneur and the arch-nemesis of [[Squirrel Girl]]. The character, created by [[Ryan North]] and [[Erica Henderson]], first appeared in ''[[The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl]]'' Vol. 2 #17 (February 2017).

Melissa Morbeck comes from a long line of women who were obsessed with wanting to control animals. After having become a successful engineering entrepreneur, she went about amassing an army of animals from every zoo and animal shelter by selling them tracking chips. After having witnessed the exploits of [[Squirrel Girl]], [[Chipmunk Hunk]], and [[Koi Boi]], she manipulated the three into meeting each other and then attempted to turn Squirrel Girl into her protege by giving her enhanced equipment. Squirrel Girl's friend, Nancy Whitehead, deduced that Morbeck was a supervillain trying to amass an animal army and she revealed her true colors. The heroes eventually defeated Morbeck who was taken to prison after she pitifully tried to claim that Squirrel Girl was the villain. While in prison, she was visited by [[Ratatoskr (comics)|Ratatoskr]] who offers an alliance.<ref>''The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl'' Vol. 2 #17-20 (April–July 2017). Marvel Comics.</ref>

Morbeck plotted her revenge on Squirrel Girl, somehow recruiting major villains such as [[Taskmaster (character)|Taskmaster]], [[MODOK]], [[Dormammu]], and her idol [[Doctor Doom]]. She also outed her identity as Doreen Green and blew up her apartment, though luckily no one was injured. To make matters worse, Morbeck also managed to hack [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]]'s suit and took the name '''Iron Ring''', a name that Squirrel Girl admitted was cool, but hated that Morbeck was the one to use it. A giant battle in [[Central Park]] took place with numerous heroes and villains showing up from both sides. The battle finally ended when [[Galactus]], who previously formed a friendship with Squirrel Girl, showed up and sent all the villains to prison, Morbeck included.<ref>''The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl'' Vol. 2 #47-50 (October 2019-January 2020).

While working for the island nation of [[Genosha]], he developed a [[Brainwashing|mind control]] device which made [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] slavery possible. Moreau created the ''mutate-process'': all inhabitants of Genosha were tested at their 13th birthday for any presence of the ''[[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|X-factor gene]]''. If they tested positive, they were turned into ''mutates'': their memories were erased and their personality changed to become completely obedient, they were sealed in special suits and their powers were genetically changed to serve the needs of their country.

'''Moses Magnum''' is a character appearing in American comic books published by [[Marvel Comics]]. A [[supervillain]] who first appeared in ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man|Giant-Size Spider-Man]]'' #4 (April 1975), he was created by [[Gerry Conway]] and [[Ross Andru]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=DeFalco |first=Tom |title=The Marvel Encyclopedia |last2=Sanderson |first2=Peter |last3=Brevoort |first3=Tom |last4=Teitelbaum |first4=Michael |last5=Wallace |first5=Daniel |last6=Darling |first6=Andrew |last7=Forbeck |first7=Matt |last8=Cowsill |first8=Alan |last9=Bray |first9=Adam |date=2019 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1-4654-7890-0 |page=228}}</ref> He is an arms dealer and terrorist.

Magnum was born in [[Ethiopia]], but sided with [[Benito Mussolini]]'s occupying army against his own people. Magnum later became a naturalized American citizen. He became president of the Deterrence Research Corporation (DRC), the world's foremost independent weapons manufacturing firm. As an arms expert, Magnum battled [[Spider-Man]] and the [[Punisher]]. Magnum surprisingly survived after the Punisher exposed him to chemical weapons.<ref>''Giant-Size Spider-Man'' #4 (April 1975)</ref> Then, he seemingly fell to his death after a battle with [[Luke Cage]].<ref>''Power Man'' Annual #1 (1976)</ref> However, Magnum was rescued by [[Apocalypse (character)|Apocalypse]] and granted superhuman powers which Magnum dubbed his "Magnum Force".<ref>''Classic X-Men'' #25</ref> His powers included superhuman strength and geologically based powers to cause earthquakes and sense disruptions in the Earth.

Magnum next threatened to create earthquakes to sink Japan unless he was named the nation's ruler. His plan was foiled by an assault by the [[X-Men]] and [[Sunfire (comics)|Sunfire]] on Magnum's [[Kuril Islands]] headquarters. [[Banshee (character)|Banshee]] disrupted Magnum's earthquake beam, but suffered a long-term loss of his own sonic powers in the process.<ref>''X-Men'' #118–119 (February–March 1979)</ref>

Re-establishing his company as Magnum Munitions, Magnum purchased the classified Deathlok cyborg technology from Cybertek.<ref>''Deathlok'' (vol. 2) #11 (May 1992)</ref> After the criminal High-Tech stole the technology, Magnum sent one of his agents in a massive Terrordome weapons platform to retrieve it, but was thwarted by [[Deathlok]]. Magnum subsequently bid against rival weapons manufacturers [[Advanced Idea Mechanics|A.I.M.]] for a defense contract, destroying their world headquarters after they refused to withdraw their bid. Magnum used the subsequent profits to outfit a new army, conquering the African nation Canaan and seeking to restructure it into a homeland for African-Americans. Magnum then sought to ensure Canaan's economic independence by invading neighboring [[Wakanda]], but Wakanda's king, the [[Black Panther (comics)|Black Panther]], foiled the invasion with Deathlok's aid.<ref>''Deathlok'' (vol. 2) #22–25 (April–July 1993)</ref>

Later, Magnum's efforts to regain control of his power and destroy a floating resort using a stolen experimental seismic cannon were foiled by the combined efforts of the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]] and future Avenger [[Triathlon (comics)|Triathlon]]. His own powers opened a fissure beneath him, seemingly sending him falling to his doom.<ref>''The Avengers'' (vol. 3) #8–9 (September–October 1998)</ref> Magnum somehow survived the fall, though how has not been revealed. At that time, he was present at the Pan-African Congress on the Treatment of Superhumans.<ref>''Civil War: Battle Damage Report'' #1</ref>

He next encountered Spider-Man.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #577 (January 2011)</ref> During the ''[[Dark Reign (comics)|Dark Reign]]'' storyline, Moses escaped from prison through a plot by [[Norman Osborn]] to give [[Daken]] good publicity and was almost killed by a massive explosion intended by Osborn to clean up the resulting mess.<ref>''Dark Wolverine'' #78–80</ref>

Magnum next appeared in ''Iron Man/Thor'' attempting to sell a special satellite he invented.<ref>''Iron Man/Thor'' #1 (January 2011)</ref>

Moses Magnum's body generates seismic force which amplifies his natural strength, gives him an unknown degree of durability and attunes him to seismic vibrations. He can unleash this energy to cause vibratory shockwaves, minor tremors or devastating earthquakes. These waves will emanate from his body in all directions unless he purposefully tries to channel them in a single direction, usually along the length of his arms and through the tips of his fingers.

=== Moses Magnum in other media ===
Moses Magnum appears in the ''[[Iron Man: Armored Adventures]]'' episode "Panther's Prey". This version is a mercenary who lacks powers and killed [[T'Chaka]] as part of a [[Coup d'état|coup]]. After stealing [[Vibranium]] from [[Wakanda]] and traveling to the U.S., he plans to give it to [[Advanced Idea Mechanics|A.I.M.]], but is eventually stopped by Black Panther and [[Iron Man]] and taken back to Wakanda to face justice.

He is the [[supervillain]] half-brother of [[Shang-Chi]].

Moving Shadow was born to the criminal mastermind [[Zheng Zu]] and raised in secrecy while highly trained in martial arts and assassination. After Shang-Chi's defection from his criminal organization, Zheng Zu groomed Moving Shadow to replace him. Under Zheng Zu's tutelage, Moving Shadow embraced his father's teachings and served him loyally without question. To ensure the success of his Hellfire weapon, Zheng Zu dispatched Moving Shadow to kill Shang-Chi and his allies [[Black Jack Tarr]], [[Clive Reston]] and [[Leiko Wu]]. Eager to prove himself superior to his half-brother, Moving Shadow repeatedly clashed with Shang-Chi, who was previously unaware of his existence. Shang-Chi eventually emerged victorious after a vicious fight with Moving Shadow but refused to kill him. With his plains thwarted once again by Shang-Chi, an enraged Zheng Zu executed Moving Shadow for his failure.<ref>''Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu'' #1–6. Marvel Comics.</ref>

A former lover and colleague of [[Mister Fantastic|Reed Richards]], Alyssa works as a scientist and has a genius-level intellect nearly equal to that of Reed. In some storylines, she acts as the ''[[de facto]]'' manager for the [[Fantastic Four]], responsible for generating their aliases and visual identities. She first appeared in ''[[Fantastic Four (comic book)|Fantastic Four]]'' vol. 3 #5 (May 1998), created by [[Chris Claremont]] and [[Salvador Larroca]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=DeFalco |first=Tom |title=The Marvel Encyclopedia |last2=Sanderson |first2=Peter |last3=Brevoort |first3=Tom |last4=Teitelbaum |first4=Michael |last5=Wallace |first5=Daniel |last6=Darling |first6=Andrew |last7=Forbeck |first7=Matt |last8=Cowsill |first8=Alan |last9=Bray |first9=Adam |date=2019 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1-4654-7890-0 |page=249}}</ref>

Alyssa Moy's rare appearances have been associated almost exclusively with the Fantastic Four. In one instance, she lends her hover car to help Reed and [[Thing (comics)|Ben Grimm]] to retrieve an essential item which a villain has tossed miles away. In another adventure, Alyssa and [[Franklin Richards (character)|Franklin Richards]] battle the [[Warwolves]], who pursue them through New York City. The wolves take on the form of civilians to try to entrap them. Alyssa witnesses the wolves killing at least one police officer, a sight from which she tries to shield Franklin. Alyssa and Franklin are soon rescued from the wolves by the Fantastic Four.<ref>''Fantastic Four'' vol. 3 # 7; July 1998; Chris Claremont (plot), Salvador Larroca (pencils), Art Thibert (inks), Comicraft (letters), Liquid!

Moy and the others also face the other-dimensional bounty squad of [[Gatecrasher (Marvel Comics)|Gatecrasher]] and her [[Technet (comics)|Technet]]. Everyone is transported to [[Avalon (Marvel Comics)|Otherworld]] to face the [[Captain Britain Corps]], which is controlled by [[Roma (comics)|Roma]]. The incident has been triggered because Roma believed Franklin to be a threat to the multiverse. He uses his powers to save the group and the [[Human Torch]] convinces Roma that Franklin is better off with his family. Alyssa helps uncover mental manipulation that Reed has suffered. Her first clue to it is his failure to perform as expected during one of their long-running mental chess games. Alyssa also helps rescue the alternate-version [[Alysande Stuart]] from her extra-dimensional captors. Alyssa later returns to solicit Reed's help with 'Nu-World', a man-made planet designed to take refugees from our seemingly doomed Earth.<ref>''Fantastic Four'' #555 (May 2008)</ref>

At some time in the far past, Reed Richards had proposed to Moy. Moy turned him down because she felt that they had a 'duty' to spread their genius-level genes as widely as possible rather than 'confine' themselves to each other. Reed did not reveal this to his wife [[Invisible Woman|Sue]] until some time after Moy had re-entered his life. According to the then-current Fantastic Four writer, [[Mark Millar]], Moy will again play a role in the comic as he explores her relationship with Reed Richards in much more depth. Millar said: "It just always struck me that Reed would have had someone prior to Sue, since he's ten years older than she is. Also, Sue's so different from Reed and I felt the girl out there would be much more like he was, a female Reed Richards of sorts, and someone he'd have met at university. As luck would have it, Chris Claremont created exactly such a character and her name is Alyssa Moy. Her nickname in our story is Mrs. Fantastic and you'll see why when you read the first issue."<ref>Interview with Mark Millar in ''[[Uncanny X-Men]]'' # 495. Brubaker, Choi, Oback.</ref>

During a reunion, Alyssa suggested to Reed that both of them had married the wrong people, since neither of their spouses could fully understand their work. However, Reed informed Alyssa that he married Sue because he loved her.<ref>''Fantastic Four'' #557 (July, 2008)</ref>

The Alyssa of eight years into the future of 'Nu-World' is now a floating brain in a robotic body, still married to Ted Castle, helping to keep the planet from being destroyed. This world comes to interact with the modern Fantastic Four because time has become corrupted there. She is slain by her enemies.<ref>''Fantastic Four'' #573 (Jan 2010)</ref>
