[7] De 1987 a 1997, Macendale inicialmente solo ejercía la identidad y el armamento de Hobgoblin , pero el escritor del crossover Inferno de 1988-89, Gerry Conway, hizo que Macendale fuera imbuido de poderes demoníacos por N'astirh . Además del poder sobre el fuego del infierno y una mayor fuerza y velocidad mucho mayores que el Hobgoblin original, estos poderes también desfiguran a Macendale para que su cabeza sea aún más grotesca que la máscara de Hobgoblin, y finalmente altera su mente para que fuera engañado y pensara que su apariencia es normal. Macendale finalmente logra purgarse de sus poderes demoníacos y luego fue renovado nuevamente con implantes cibernéticos.

Sir James "Mad Jim" Jaspers es un personaje de los cómics estadounidenses que aparece en Marvel Comics . Fue creado por David Thorpe y Alan Davis para Marvel UK . Es un poderoso supervillano que fue el archienemigo del Capitán Britania y Excalibur , así como de algunos otros héroes, así como el principal antagonista de la serie Excalibur.
En la realidad de la Tierra-238, [8] James Jaspers, un político británico, libró una guerra política contra los mutantes. Había sido elegido para el cargo como miembro del Parlamento inglés debido a su postura y política antimutantes y antisuperhéroes, sin embargo, Jaspers era un mutante con poderosas habilidades para deformar la realidad. Su fachada política y sus motivaciones para la eliminación de sus compañeros mutantes y superhéroes eran esencialmente para asegurar su supremacía. Jaspers parecía un político talentoso y capaz de influir en la opinión pública popular, con frases como "si fueran honestos no usarían máscaras", pero ya sea que siempre estuviera loco o cayera en la locura con el advenimiento de sus poderes mutantes para deformar la realidad, Jaspers había perdido la cordura. Jaspers de la Tierra-238 estaba tan decidido a librar a su mundo de mutantes que comenzó a ir más allá de fomentar el sentimiento antimutante y construyó una construcción cibernética adaptativa increíblemente poderosa conocida simplemente como la Furia para cazar y eliminar a todos los seres con superpoderes.
Jaspers también había formado un grupo de trabajo militar equipado con tecnología avanzada encargado de eliminar seres con superpoderes, este grupo conocido como el Status Crew. Por lo general, el Status Crew reunía a seres con superpoderes para retenerlos en campos de concentración y exterminarlos allí poco después. El Fury se ocuparía de amenazas mayores. Tomaría menos de dos años para que los seres con superpoderes estuvieran al borde de la extinción. El Fury había sido programado por Jaspers para permitirle vivir como el único ser con superpoderes.
Sin igual en poder por ningún otro ser, cualquier amenaza potencial destruida sin piedad por la Furia, Jaspers adoptó la personalidad de Mad Jim Jaspers, un ladrón de bancos y delincuente que rinde homenaje al Sombrerero Loco de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas , además de continuar el tema del libro de Lewis Carroll con su propio equipo de ladrones de bancos, la Banda Loca. Fue en esta época que el Guardián Omniversal Merlyn se dio cuenta no solo de la versión de esta realidad del peligro de Jaspers para el multiverso, sino también del Jim Jaspers de la realidad 616, de quien Merlyn se dio cuenta de que poseía un poder de deformación de la realidad aún mayor. Merlyn teletransportaría a uno de los pocos superhéroes restantes de la Tierra-238, la Capitana del Reino Unido Linda McQuillan, a la realidad designada 616. Es importante destacar que también lo haría mientras ella estaba siendo observada por el mortal cibiote Furia. La Tierra de 238 caería en desorden debido a las locas maquinaciones y la deformación de la realidad de Jaspers. Se había hecho conocida como una tierra torcida. De igual preocupación fue que el Jaspers de 616 había iniciado su ascenso político, una señal preocupante de lo que vendría. [9]
Al regresar a la realidad convencional/616, el Capitán Britania descubrió que otro Sir James Jaspers estaba liderando una campaña anti-superhéroes, con la ayuda de Henry Peter Gyrich y Sebastian Shaw , miembros del Club del Fuego Infernal .
Jaspers logró obtener una victoria aplastante en las elecciones generales con su plataforma anti-superhéroe y se convirtió en Primer Ministro de Gran Bretaña. Los eventos comenzaron a reflejar los de la Tierra-238 y Jaspers desató la fuerza de la Disformidad de Jaspers sobre Londres, causando mucho caos y devastación. Sin embargo, Jaspers se encontró bajo el ataque de Fury, que saltaba de realidad, y los dos se involucraron en una batalla de deformación de la realidad a gran escala en la que Jaspers finalmente fue asesinado por Fury, quien lo teletransportó fuera del universo, donde no tendría realidad para controlar y, por lo tanto, quedaría sin poderes.

Master Izo is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. A superhero martial artist, he is associated with Daredevil, and first appeared in Daredevil vol. 2 #112. He was created by Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark.
The man who would be known in the modern age only as Master Izo was a member of the organization 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).[170]
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 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.[170] He is mentioned a number of times in the Book of the Iron Fist.[171]
Much later, following the death of the Skrull posing as Hand leader 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. Izo's purpose was in fact 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."[172][170] Subsequently, Izo fakes his own murder at the hands of Daredevil to trick the Hand into accepting Daredevil as their leader.[173] 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.[174]
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.

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 and fought him on numerous occasions. He even joined the Emissaries of Evil and teamed up with characters such as Electro, Gladiator, Leap-Frog, and Stilt-Man. He later ironically teamed up with Man-Bull.

As one of finest matadors in Spain, Juan was hired by Vanessa Fisk, in a complicated plot against Daredevil, to carry out various ploys.

Match (Ben Hamill) is a fictional character appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. A mutant, Hamill attended the Xavier Institute before its closing. While at the institute, Hamill was the field leader of the Paragons training squad.
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."[184]
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 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 Charles Xavier to inform the student body of an explosion that happened the night before caused by Magma who'd been awoken from a coma by Josh and Julian's involvement. Xavier preached about heroism being more than being brave.[185] Match would later attend Parent's Week at Xavier's, although it is unknown if his parents for the week he seem to enjoy himself during the festive time.[186] While in class with Karma, he was asked along with his classmates if they'd seen Josh, who was unknowingly out on a date with Rahne Sinclair.[187]
After enrolling at the institute, Hamill was assigned to the Paragons training squad under the tutelage of Rahne Sinclair.[188] Though hot-tempered (even voted "Shortest Temper"[189]), Hamill is a natural leader, and consequently, was named as the field leader for his squad.[190] As a part of the field squads games, the Paragons participated in a Danger Room session where they had to fight a Hulk construct. After the exercise, the New Mutants squad tried the same simulation and beat the record set by the Paragons' exercise. During a team meeting with Rahne, Ben and his teammates expressed their dismay at the New Mutants squad having had beat their time. Rahne then gave them a much needed a pep talk, trying to remind them that they would have save a lot of lives if the session had been real.[191] Soon after, Cyclops and Emma Frost revealed that Sinclair had been in a romantic relationship with a student, Josh Foley, who was abruptly departed from the school, leaving the Paragons without an advisor. Ultimately, former New Mutant, Magma stepped in to become the Paragons' mentor.[190]
Ben is still viewed as such by his former teammates after the dissolution of the squad system.[192] Following the events of House of M, only 27 of the school's students retained their powers. All squads were dissolved, and the remaining students were merged into one group. Ben and his fellow former Paragons Trance, Wolf Cub, and Pixie were revealed to be among the handful of still-powered Xavier students.[193]
Match, along with several of his fellow students, is sucked down into the realm of Limbo. When attacked by demons, he quickly joins the fight, killing several demons while trying to protect Pixie and Blindfold.[194] Ben participates in the final fight against Belasco and is returned to the school after Belasco is defeated.[195][196][197][198]
Ben relocates to San Francisco along with the other X-Men.[199] He reappears putting out fires started by rioting over Proposition X, an anti-mutant reproductive legislation being pushed by the anti-mutant organization "Humanity Now!"[200] After the riots subside, the Dark X-Men along with Norman Osborn declare a citywide curfew for all citizens prohibiting public activity after dark. In Avalanche's bar, Match, along with fellow student Hellion and other mutants angrily decide to cause a scene after curfew hours for all the world to see as a warning against the "fascism" of the Dark X-Men. As Match spreads fire throughout Union Square, the Dark X-Men come to arrest the troublemaking mutants.[201] After a battle, they are taken into custody by the Dark X-Men.[202] Eventually, Match and the other imprisoned mutants are freed by the X-Force and teleported to the island of Utopia.[203]
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. The flame on his head is also not as hot as normal fire and as such, it does not burn what it touches. This was confirmed by his creators, Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir.
Match makes a cameo appearance in Dark Phoenix, portrayed by Lamar Johnson.[184]
Matthew Plunder is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the son of Ka-Zar and Shanna the She-Devil. He lived with his family in the Savage Land.

When Skaar accidentally unleashed The Designer from its prison, it possessed his mother Shanna and tried to kill 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.[204]
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.[205]

The character of detective Brigid O'Reilly first appeared in Cloak and Dagger #1 (Oct. 1983) and was created by Bill Mantlo and Rick Leonardi.[206] She subsequently appeared in issues #2-4 (Nov. 1983-Jan. 1984) of the same series, and issues #1-5 (July 1985 – March 1986) of the second Cloak and Dagger series. In Cloak and Dagger vol. 2 #5 (March 1986), Brigid underwent a drastic transformation and became known as Mayhem. The character subsequently appeared, as Mayhem, in Cloak and Dagger #6–9 (May–Nov. 1986), Strange Tales #13–15 (April–June 1988), #19 (Oct. 1988), The Mutant Misadventures of Cloak and Dagger #1–2 (Oct.

Mayhem received an entry in The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #8. However, some of the color plates were reversed in that issue; those pages, including Mayhem, were re-printed correctly in issue #9.
Brigid O'Reilly was originally a police detective in Manhattan when she learned that Cloak and Dagger were attacking criminals in her precinct. She at first wanted to bring the pair to justice,[207] but she eventually learned to trust the young crime-fighters.[208] 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.[209]
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.[210] She then became a vigilante, showing no mercy to the drug dealers and other criminals she pursues. Brigid was considered as a "potential recruit" for the Initiative program, according to Civil War: Battle Damage Report.[211]
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. The gas can also act like a truth serum, forcing a victim of Mayhem to tell her the truth. Dagger's "light-knives" dissipate upon contact with this gas. Mayhem can levitate herself and fly.
Brigid O'Reilly appears in the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series Marvel's Cloak & Dagger, portrayed by Emma Lahana.[212] Introduced in the first season, this version is a detective who formerly worked in Harlem before moving to New Orleans.[213] She grows suspicious of her partner, corrupt police officer James Connors, which she later confirms afterward with help from Tandy Bowen.[214] O'Reilly soon allies with Tyrone Johnson, who wants to avenge his brother's death at the hands of Connors.[215] They succeed in getting Connors to admit his guilt and see him arrested. However, O'Reilly discovers her boyfriend was murdered.[216] Additionally, Connors is released on suspension and proceeds to beat her in front of other officers to reinforce her outcast status among them.[217] O'Reilly joins forces with Johnson to stop a dark energy called the Terror from being released by the Roxxon company, but is shot by Connors, exposed to the Terror's energy, and falls into a swamp, though she later re-emerges with glowing green eyes.[218] In the second season, it is revealed that this O'Reilly, later named Mayhem, is a physical copy of the original with all of her memories and knowledge. However, Mayhem is a ruthless vigilante with no compunction about murder. In the opening episodes, Mayhem proceeds to kill a number of New Orleans underworld figures, and later assumes O'Reilly's identity to take a criminal investigation into her own hands. In the meantime, Johnson finds O'Reilly tied up at home, then teleports them to Bowen, who is at a crime scene with Mayhem.[219] Following this, Mayhem searches for Connors, killing his partner in the process. While examining O'Reilly, Roxxon environmentalist Mina Hess theorizes and later proves the former was split between two forms, with O'Reilly representing her fear and Mayhem her aggression. Amidst a criminal investigation into a prostitution ring, Mayhem attacks and nearly kills a criminal gang before Johnson uses his powers to send her to the Darkforce Dimension.[220] Bowen follows Mayhem, unwittingly depriving Johnson of his powers. Together, Mayhem and Bowen find evidence of Connors' presence and endeavor to leave the Dimension, but Bowen accidentally exits the Dimension with Connors, leaving Mayhem behind. Mayhem later finds Andre Deschaine's metaphysical record store and destroys his records, which held his victims' despair; freeing Johnson from Deschaine's spell and allowing him to rescue Bowen from Deschaine's prostitution ring.[221] After ending up in the Loa Dimension, O'Reilly encounters Mayhem, and the two agree to allow the latter to take control on certain occasions. Once they leave, they are fused back together.[222] Mayhem later defends Johnson's friend Evita from forces that threatened to foil Johnson and Bowen's mission to stop Deschaine and O'Reilly leaves Connors' dead body for her fellow police officers to see.[223]

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 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.[260]
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.[261] 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.[261]
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.[262]
During the 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 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.[263] She then goes to work for Norman's Dark Avengers in an unknown capacity.[264] After Norman's 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.[265]
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.[266] Spider-Man manages to rescue the baby, but he is stolen again by Lizard.[267] 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.[267] Spider-Man later tests Harry's blood, revealing that he is in fact the father, and leaves the child in his care.[268]

Menace then gives the Goblin King the journal revealing the secret about Superior Spider-Man.[270] 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.[271]

Lily's body drops into the river and can't be found by the police or Urich. Lily has survived the explosion and lives on the streets with no memory of who she was. She finds one of Roderick Kingsley's (who was now in the business of reinventing people into superheroes) ads in a newspaper, and goes to his base.[272] Over the next month, Roderick Kingsley turns Lily into the Queen Cat, a Black Cat-like heroine.

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.[303]

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.[304]
Diego Cassias, one of the other members of the recon patrol now calling himself the 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.[305] 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 crimelord. They succeeded, but were later taken down by Night Thrasher and Silhouette.[306]
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.[307]

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.[348]
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.[349]
Moondark joined forces with the 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.[350]

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 who offers an alliance.[369]

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. At this time, Moreau became known as the Genegineer (a portmanteau of "Genetic Engineer").[372][373][374]
Christian Davenport remarked that the atrocities committed by David Moreau are repeatedly related to the Holocaust and American slavery in the Genosha series of comics.[374]

Alyssa Moy is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. A former lover and colleague of 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 vol. 3 #5 (May 1998), created by Chris Claremont and Salvador Larroca.[412]
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 Ben Grimm to retrieve an essential item which a villain has tossed miles away. In another adventure, Alyssa and Franklin Richards face down the extra-dimensional threat of the War Wolves, 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.[413][414]
Moy and the others also face the other-dimensional bounty squad of Gatecrasher and her Technet. Everyone is transported to the Otherworld to face the entire Captain Britain Corps, which is controlled by 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.[415]
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 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."[416]
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.[417]
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.[418]
