Brenda Drago

Brenda Dragowas forced by her father into what was supposed to be a life of crime, as he gave her a suit equipped with functional wings (created from technology used in the costume he had worn as the second Vulture). Brenda became a flying thief known as the Raptor. But her crime spree was stopped by the combined efforts ofSpider-GirlandThe Buzz.In a surprising twist of fate, Raptor actually became friends with Spider-Girl. She even began to use her flight-suit as a hero, joining with Spider-Girl and Buzz in the formation of a newNew Warriors.She even fell in love with Spider-Girl's friend Normie Osborn, and the two became engaged.

However, Raptor's luck went bad when she was held accountable for her previous crimes by a man named Agent Wheadon, who made Raptor join his crime-fighting team of "reformed" criminals, in exchange for a pardon. However, Normie bonded with theVenomsymbiote, and made a bargain with Wheadon, offering his new powers in helping Wheadon's team in exchange for Raptor's release.

In an attempt to remove Spider-Girl from her friends, theHobgoblin(later revealed to beRoderick Kingsley) savagely attacked Raptor and chained her body to a fence.In the following issue, she was taken to the hospital where she seemed to be recovering. She later marriesNormie Osborn.

Damon Ryder

Damon RyderinfiltratedMay Parker's engagement party in Boston. He had stalked her relatives, the Reillys, for some time in an attempt to findBen Reilly,who he claimed burned down his house and killed his family. He found Peter Parker, whom Ben was cloned from, and attacked him, believing him to be Ben. Peter was able to fend off Raptor's attack long enough to sneak off and change into his Spider-Man costume. The two battled, and Raptor was eventually defeated. However, he managed to escape while Peter was distracted at the shock of learning about Ryder's interest in Ben Reilly.

Ryder later tracked Peter down to New York, first attacking him at the Front Line office, then going to his apartment with the intent of leaving a message for Peter with his roommate, Michelle Gonzalez. He then went to May's house, where Peter's cousins andHarry Osbornwere staying, and took all the occupants hostage. When Peter arrived, Raptor threatened to kill them all unless Peter revealed his "true" identity.

Through flashbacks, it was shown that Ben Reilly once worked as lab assistant to Ryder. The two became close friends during their work searching for proof of dinosaurs being human ancestors, with Ben meeting Ryder's wife and children. However, Ben soon discovered that Ryder had experimented on himself withraptorgenes in an attempt to further their research. When he confronted him, Ryder grew angry and the two argued. Damon attacked Ben, but Ben managed to restrain him, hoping to bring in a geneticist to purge his system of the mutation. Damon managed to escape in the interim, and Ben followed him to his home, where Damon revealed that he was starting to mutate, thus become more susceptible to Ben's assistance. As they talked, both were unaware that Ben's fellow clone,Kaine,was hiding just outside the house. Kaine jumped in through a window and attacked Ben, with a fire starting during the ensuing battle. It was then shown that Damon had murdered his own family, though he did not realize it, having been driven insane by his mutation, his warped mind causing him to conclude that Ben had killed his family in 'protest' against his experiments. Furious, Ben beat him unconscious, with Kaine commenting that the events that unfolded would have drastic consequences.

In the present, Kaine broke into the Parker house, revealing that he was working with Raptor, under the promise of being cured of his cellular degeneration. During the fight, he exposed Peter's identity as Spider-Man, and Ben's identity as a clone. He encouraged Raptor to kill Peter, since anything Ben would do, so would Peter. Refusing to accept this, Peter affirmed both his and Reilly's innocence, proclaiming that neither of them would ever kill anyone, and beat Raptor unconscious, just as Ben had. However, Kaine managed to take Raptor and escape before the police arrived. Raptor later told Kaine that he lied about curing him to gain an ally. Enraged, Kaine then breaks Raptor's neck, seemingly killing him.

The Red King still ruled Sakaar when the Hulk was inadvertently exiled to their world. Initially the Hulk was enslaved and trained as a gladiator to fight for the entertainment of the Emperor but he quickly began to gain attention as the Green Scar and Sakaarson, a mythical figure prophesied to rule Sakaar and heal it.

The Red King grew concerned and tried to have the Hulk killed repeatedly to no avail until they entered into open war with one another. The Hulk led his friends theWarboundand others against the Red King, eventually gaining the support of the King's own bodyguard, Caiera the Oldstrong, who turned against him when the Red King unleashed the Spikes against the Hulk.

The Hulk led his forces on Crown City and personally fought the Red King, seemingly defeating him and stopping the destruction of Crown City caused by the King. At some point after his downfall, the Red King was found by the Wildebots and reconstructed as a Cyborg, leading survivors of Crown City to safety and coming to regret his past actions, feeling that the Hulk had helped him become who he should have been. The Red King followed the Hulk's sonSkaarup until the destruction of the planet. It remains unclear whether or not he survived the planet being consumed byGalactus.

Right-Winger(Jerome"Jerry"Johnson) is a veteran and superhero in theMarvel Comicsuniverse.

The character, created byMark GruenwaldandPaul Neary,first appeared inCaptain America#323 (November 1986).

Within the context of the stories, Jerry Johnson was born inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania.He was a veteran who had served 4 years in the U.S. Army with his friend,John Walker.Both became disillusioned and grew bored due to the lack of action during peace-time service. They both signed up for thePower Broker's strength augmentation process, and joined the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation. Later, John Walker approached him to form a team of superhumans, known as the B.U.C.s (Bold Urban Commandos) or "Buckies". This team consisted of Johnson,Lemar Hoskins,andHector Lennox,and they all wore variations ofCaptain America's costume.

Walker, now known as the Super-Patriot publicly spoke out against the original Captain America, and the Buckies pretended to be Cap's supporters. The Buckies staged opposition to Walker and pretended to attack him at a rally inCentral Parkas a publicity stunt. Walker defeated these protesters and proclaimed to Captain America that the people should decide who was worthy of being Captain America.Eventually, theCommission on Superhuman Activitiesselected Walker to replace Steve Rogers as Captain America, and chose Lemar Hoskins to become his partner Bucky (and later as Battlestar).

Lennox and Johnson were left behind, feeling betrayed and angered. They chose the names Left-Winger and Right-Winger respectively. They wore stolenGuardsmenarmor and battled Walker and Hoskins.The pair upstaged the new Captain America at a patriotic rally and press conference, attacking him and revealing Walker's identity to the press out of jealousy over his new-found success.As a result, Walker's parents were killed by the militia groupThe Watchdogs,nearly driving Walker into a mental breakdown. Walker blamed his former partners for his parents' deaths, and he stalked them. When he caught up to Left-Winger and Right-Winger, he tied them to an oil tank which was detonated by a torch-saber and left them to die.They barely survived the explosion due to their bodies' enhanced physiology, leaving them terribly burned and in critical condition.

Later, Walker became theU.S. Agentand joined theWest Coast Avengers.Left-Winger and Right-Winger, alongside several others, were plucked from different time periods byImmortusto serve in the thirdLegion of the Unliving.They battled U.S. Agent, who slew them again not believing them to be authentic.

Ringer

Ringeris the name of three fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Anthony Davis

A formerengineerforNASA,professional criminal Anthony Davis grew jealous of the wealthy Kyle Richmond. Designing a suit of battle armor that would be constructed by theTinkerer,Davis, calling himself the Ringer, broke into one of Richmond's buildings to rob it. Richmond confronted the Ringer in his guise ofNighthawkII, breaking several of Davis's teeth in the process. Davis was arrested and jailed, where it took a prison dentist several weeks to rebuild his broken teeth.

Humiliated by his defeat at Nighthawk's hands, Davis decided he was not cut out for a life of crime. He had previously designed an improved version of his old battlesuit, which remained in the Tinkerer's warehouse, which he planned to rent out to various criminal contacts as part of a get-rich-quick scheme. As Davis tested the suit, theBeetlebroke into the shop to retrieve his own equipment. Easily subduing the Ringer, the Beetle brought him back to his hideout, where he forced Davis to wear the suit to battleSpider-Man,tricking him into thinking a new ring the Beetle had added to the suit would explode if the Ringer did not obey. The Ringer, deathly afraid of battling another superhero, was dealt a humiliating defeat by Spider-Man, who broke his repaired dental work and left him webbed for the police. To add to Ringer's indignity, the explosive charge merely destroyed a recording device the Beetle had installed in his suit to obtain live combat data of Spider-Man.

Upon his release from prison, the Ringer avoided New York City and its super heroes and operated as a costumed criminal primarily in the Midwest, sinking into petty crime and being viewed as a loser in the supervillain community. On a visit to theBar With No Namein Medina County, Ohio, one of a number of similar secret meeting places for costumed criminals, the Ringer was contacted by Gary Gilbert, who was formerly the costumed terrorist calledFirebrand.Gilbert invited the Ringer to attend a meeting at the bar to discuss strategies for dealing withScourge,the mysterious vigilante who had murdered a large number of costumed criminals. The Ringer came to the meeting, but, unfortunately for him, so did Scourge, disguised as the bartender. Scourge slaughtered the Ringer and all the other criminals who were present, shooting them with explosive bullets.

Upon hearing of his supposed death, the Ringer's wifeLeila Davisbecame a criminal herself, plotting to get revenge on the Beetle, who she blamed for her husband's humiliation, although she was thwarted by Spider-Man.When she joined a group of other villains in attempting to kill the wall-crawler, she was saved during the battle by her husband, who appeared as the cyborg Strikeback. Davis revealed that he had not actually died in the Scourge's massacre, but was barely alive whenA.I.M.agents investigated the murder, seeking information on the technology used by the dead criminals. AIM created a new cyborg body for him, and he worked for the organization for some time before striking out on his own. As Strikeback, Davis was a much more skilled fighter than he was as the Ringer, defeatingBoomerang,Swarm,theVultureandStegron.However, the dinosaur man badly damaged Strikeback's cybernetic systems during the battle, which caused them to slowly break down. During this time, he enjoyed a happy, if brief, retirement with Leila before dying. Leila herself would later perish in battle with the villainGraviton.

Arnim Zolalater created a proto-husk of him, butDeadpoolkilled it.

Keith Kraft

The designs for the Ringer battlesuit are later used by another criminal named Keith Kraft who re-establishes the Ringer persona. He would prove to be as inept as Davis initially was. The Ringer teams up withCoachwhipandKiller Shriketo attackMoon Knightduring the events of theActs of Vengeance,a plan to destroy superheroes. He is defeated quickly.He is later employed byJustin Hammer,alongsideBlacklashand Barrier. He attempts to trickThunderbolt IIinto stealing some experimental aircraft plans, but is foiled by theHulkand the ancient society known as thePantheon.

Kraft shows up atStilt-Man's funeral at the Bar with No Name where thePunisherpoisoned the drinks and blew up the bar. Only medical attention prevents the Ringer and other villains from dying.

The Ringer is shown as a new member of Osborn's Shadow Initiative.He accompanies the team to liberate the Negative Zone prison.Ringer later assistedHoodinto fightingCounter Force.He's then defeated by the Avengers Resistance in their last assault at Camp Hammer.

Ringer later appeared as a member of theShadow Council'sMasters of Evil.

Following Spider-Man's victory over the Goblin King, Ringer was among the former Hobgoblin minions at the Bar with No Name where they encounterElectro.

While Spider-Man andMs. Marvelare fightingDoctor Minervaduring theSpider-Versestoryline, the Ringer robs theDiamond Districtonly to be defeated by the new heroSilk.

In the Slide-Away Casino,MelterandKiller Shriketake Ringer to the back room.Black Catshows him various items and tells him that even she cannot steal everything and sometimes must pay for them and asks him how is she supposed to do that when nobodies like him do not pay her weekly cut. Ringer tells Black Cat he did not pay because he was captured by Silk, owed the Spot for getting him out of jail, and had to pay Tinkerer for new equipment. He tells her that they worked in some jobs before and remembers her having a heart and asks for compassion. Black Cat hesitates long enough for the Ringer to attack them, hitting Felicia in her arm before she takes him down. Black Cat tells Ringer he will make three times the cut and will also serve as an example, having Killer Shrike and Melter beat him up. Melter and Killer Shrike then bring in Ringer and Black Cat tells Ringer to spread the word that no one steals from her.

Roderick Kingsley later regains Ringer's services.

Dallas Riordanis a fictional character appearing inAmerican comic bookspublished byMarvel Comics.She first appeared inThunderbolts#1 (April 1997).

Dallas Riordan's comic book family had a long storied history of being police officers.Dallas was once anNYPDofficer and a soldierbefore she went into politics and became the aide to the mayor of New York.When theThunderboltsarrived on the scene after the disappearances ofThe Avengersand theFantastic Four,the mayor wanted to take advantage of the Thunderbolts publicity and chose to appoint Dallas as the liaison between his office and the new team of "heroes". Dallas was unaware that her new associates were super villains in disguise, plotting to use their newfound publicity to get security clearances that would allow them to take over the world.

Dallas quickly began a flirtation with Thunderbolt memberAtlasand the two were dating when the group became exposed as villains.The Thunderbolts, led by Citizen V (by nowBaron Helmut Zemoonce again), soon made an attempt to take over the world.To save face, the mayor chose to blame Dallas for leading him astray and promptly fired her.

A short time later, Dallas was approached byRoger Aubreyof theV-Battalionand was offered the role ofCitizen V(the original Citizen V was aGolden Agehero murdered by Helmut's father Baron Heinrich Zemo), their primary field agent.It turned out that Dallas's grandfather had worked for the original V-Battalion (the majority of which were slaughtered by Heinrich). He had served inWorld War IIbut stayed inEuropeto help recreate the V-Battalion with Roger Aubrey and various others, leaving his wife and son, Jim Riordan, behind.Jim raised Dallas to be tough and encouraged her desire to be a police officer. Jim did not like the V-Battalion, but he presumably wanted his daughter to be trained in combat so that she would be prepared if she ever accepted a role in the V-Battalion (as was her right, being a descendant of a member).

Furious over the way her life had been destroyed by the Thunderbolts, Dallas decided to join the V-Battalion and became Citizen V. She became somewhat of a super-hero herself, first fighting Baron Zemoand then going up against the threat of the Crimson Cowl, who after knocking Citizen V unconscious,framed Dallas for being the leader of the Masters of Evil, which was all a set-up to throw the Thunderbolts off the trail of the realCrimson Cowl(Justine Hammer).Dallas was then arrested. Dallas was rescued from prison by the V-Battalion.She soon tried to track down the Crimson Cowlbut instead found herself fighting theImperial Forces of America(ironically, but unknown to her, they were funded by Baron Zemo).The V-Battalion ordered Dallas to assassinateHenry Peter Gyrich(who would become her co-worker in theCommission on Superhuman Activitiesseveral years later) because Gyrich and the CSA had been compromised by the nanite conspiracy spearheaded by Baron Strucker ofHYDRA.Dallas refused and the V-Battalion sent their operatives to stop her from informing the Thunderbolts of their plans.

When Dallas returned to the United States, she tried to get help from the Thunderbolts but a battle broke out between the two groups and Dallas vanished in battle, kidnapped again by the Crimson Cowl.Dallas wound up in a prison base on the border ofSymkariaandLatveria.She managed to find a means of escape but chose to confront the Cowl instead. The battle ended with her falling off a bridge and into a river.Dallas washed up in Latveria(the country led byDoctor Doom) and her back was crushed, requiring her to use a wheelchair for mobility. Dallas soon began to get visitations from her ex-boyfriend Erik(who had been killed byScourge).Eventually Dallas was freed from Latveria by the Redeemers at which point she came back to the United States.

The Thunderbolts, who had previously disbanded, reunited during a battle withGraviton.Dallas reasoned that the ionic-powered Erik's visitations were similar toWonder Man's visitations of theScarlet Witch,who he used as an emotional anchor to tie him to the world after he had been killed. Erik did not have a body to come back to and instead channeled his ionic energy into Dallas. In their ionic state, Dallas's body could walk and had various superpowers. Atlas re-joined the Thunderbolts to fight Graviton but after the battle, Erik and Dallas found themselves and their teammates marooned on Counter Earth. When they returned, the ionic energy recreated a powerless Erik Josten and Dallas retained a portion of the ionic energy.Thanks to theFixer,Erik soon gained Pym Particle-related powers again.

Dallas joined the Thunderbolts as Vantage and chose to remain on the team to watch Zemo, who she could not trust. Eventually Helmut was scarred by a derangedMoonstonewhen trying to saveCaptain America.The Thunderbolts briefly disbanded and Erik askedHank Pymto strip him of his new powers. Dallas and Erik broke up and Dallas took a job working for homeland security.Erik soon re-joined the Thunderbolts despite being powerless.After an encounter withGenis-Vell,Erik became enraged and tapped into his ionic powers which somehow left Dallas paralysed again.

Dallas is currently a full-time member of the CSA and even helped organize the battle between the Thunderbolts and the new Avengers.Dallas and the CSA are apparently working with Zemo to save the world from the Grandmaster. Dallas does not trust Helmut, but gave him the benefit of the doubt.Altered again by the Wellspring, during a battle againstthe Grandmasterin which he had to surrender his powers temporarily to Zemo, Josten was left stuck in a giant form, too heavy even to move and communicate. However he was able to send back some ionic energy to Dallas, restoring her legs. She offered jobs toAbner Jenkinsand Fixer within the CSA.During theDark Reignstoryline, Dallas Riordan appeared as part of senate subcommittee questioningNorman Osbornabout the recentSkrullinvasion.

As Vantage, Dallas once possessed superhuman levels of agility and endurance. While sharing consciousness with Atlas, Vantage was charged with ionic energy and could grow to great heights, fire ionic blasts, create a protective energy field, and fly.
