Eli BardakaEliphasis afictionalcharacter appearing inAmerican comic bookspublished byMarvel Comics.Created byChristopher Yost,Clayton CrainandCraig Kyle,Bard is a member of thePurifiersand an enemy of theX-Men.

Eli Bard was born "Eliphas" at the height of theRoman Empire.He was recognized as an outstanding soldier until a spear injury ended his military career. For a while he worked unsuccessfully as a poet until he met Aurelia, one of the most powerful women in Rome. He soon married her and achieved a position in the Senate. As a well-respected senator, he was known as a great orator and a friend to the army. His wife left him for a general named Mascius and conspired to give Mascius his seat in the Senate.

Left with nothing, Eliphas was approached bySelene,who offered him immortality in exchange for helping her kill and absorb every soul in Rome. Eliphas drewpentagramsand performed rituals at several locations in the city, but warned a small girl to get her family out. The girl's father alerted the authorities and Eliphas and Selene were captured before the spell could be carried out. Just before they wereburned at the stake,Selene killed the guards. She cursed Eliphas for his perceived betrayal with an eternal life of torture, turning him into a vampire-like creature. Eliphas was buried alive for 700 years until a farmer discovered him in his field. Eliphas killed the farmer with a swift bite to the jugular. He spent the next several hundred years searching for Selene. He ran into the ancestralApachetribe ofWarpath.They recognized him as a vampire but could not stop him from wiping out almost the entire tribe.

Eliphas, having at some point in time changed his name to "Eli Bard," finally located Selene inNova Roma,where she was worshiped as a god. Still in love with her despite her curse, Bard realized that he must make an offering to her before approaching her. Bard later joined the Purifiers, an anti-mutant terrorist group. During this time, he worked diligently to further the Purifiers' goals. Secretly, he had hoped to sacrifice thousands of Purifiers' souls using the same ritual from Rome to gain Selene's attention. He assisted in the resurrection ofBastionbut the android was suspicious of him, as he had no record on him. After seeing Bastion reprogram an offspring of Magus, he changed his plan and instead re-animated the corpses in the burial grounds of the Apache tribe that he had decimated decades earlier using theTechnarch transmode virushe had absorbed from an offspring ofMagus.Among the bodies reanimated were those of the mutantsCalibanandThunderbird.He presented Caliban to Selene and stated that he intended to use Caliban's mutant tracking abilities to track down deceased mutants and reanimate them to form an army for Selene, an offer which she accepted.

He uses the virus to resurrect a variety of mutants, includingCypher,Banshee,the originalHellions,Risque,Pyro,andDestiny.

When Bard returned to Proudstar's tribe's burial grounds to resurrect Caliban and Thunderbird, the spirits of the tribe rose to protect those buried there. Bard attacked them with Selene's mystical knife, transforming them into aDemon Bear.After fleeing the battle, Bard leaves the blade behind, unaware it was pivotal in Selene's plans. He is then dispatched to Utopia to retrieve it, taking Warpath hostage in the process.When he returns to Selene with the blade and the hostage, Selene kills him by stabbing him in the heart with the blade, reducing him to bones.

Elks miscalculates the security guards rounds and is caught and fired upon when he reaches for a weapon. The guard's bullet accidentally hits and shatters the gem, causing an explosion that transforms Elks into a humanoid reptilian—his skin becomes green and scaly and his eyes are now large and red.

Unfortunately, Weele lacks practice in using his new device and, in the heat of battle, the Big Wheel topples off a high rooftop and plunges into the Hudson River. Spider-Man tries to save him, but comes up empty-handed. He presumes Jackson Weele died when the Big Wheel vehicle sank to the bottom of the river.

Big Wheel did not appear in another comic book for more than twenty years. However, the story was picked up again by writer Cristos Gage. Weele survives his seemingly deadly encounter, turning up again with his Big Wheel vehicle while Spider-Man is in combat withStilt-Man.This time, Big Wheel attempts to help Spider-Man. However, due to his interference, Stilt-Man escapes. Confronted by Spider-Man, Weele reveals that, in the interim since their last meeting, he went to jail for embezzlement and joined Vil-Anon, an analog of Alcoholics Anonymous for super-villains. In fact, his attempt to help the hero was part of his twelve-step program. Out of pity, Spider-Man lets Big Wheel accompany him for the rest of the day. While foiling a bank robbery, the pair confronts theShocker.Although they defeat him, Jackson Weele finally realizes that he is not cut out for super-heroics. He now makes his living using his Big Wheel rig in demolition derbies and speaking at events for Vil-Anon.

The Big Wheel is discussed inThe Spectacular Spider-Man#21 (Jan. 2005) during a super-hero poker game. Spider-Man tellsReed Richardsthat the Big Wheel is one of the craziest things he has ever seen (along with a gang of mimes). TheHuman Torchsays he has met the man at the 'Rusty Nail' and he is working as a security guard. The Torch also claims the Wheel's first name is Axel, although he may be joking.

During theCivil Warstoryline, Big Wheel is shown being chased by the Harbor Patrol, implying that he returned to super-heroics despite the doubts he harbored inSpider-Man Unlimited.

Later, he is brought in by Spider-Man andIron Manconcerning black market connections that Iron Man believes may have aidedEzekiel Stane.

Jackson later returns in a more jagged version of his Big Wheel machine and joinsBlackoutand other villains in a mission to killGhost Rider.

As part of "Marvel NOW!",Big Wheel's original vehicle later resurfaces in possession ofOverdrive,who upgrades it with his technological powers and uses it as a personal vehicle during his tenure in theSinister Six.The Superior Spider-Man(Doctor Octopus' mind in Peter Parker's body) is later able to reverse the changes, restoring the Big Wheel to its intended appearance and power.

Big Wheel is later forced into committing crimes (such as stealing a prized pair ofalpacas) for Lady Caterpillar who had abducted his girlfriend Rebecca Townley.

Donald Blake is a construct ofOdin,created for the purpose of giving a weak and powerless identity for Thor. After removing his memory, Thor started his life as the crippled Don who chose to be a doctor after sympathizing with the sick. Don finds the hammerMjolnirand transforms into the God of Thunder. Later, Don regains his memory as Thor and soon learns the whole truth from Odin.The Blake identity has been used here and there before Odin opted to erase him from existence. After Thor was killed by the Serpent, Donald Blake suddenly came into existence as a separate entity fully aware that his whole life had been a lie. Under the alias of the Dragon, Blake conducted a deadly campaign against Odin, the former All-Father of Asgard, and targeted all those blessed by Odin's magic. After an epic battle, Blake is defeated, but demands that Odin kill him, declaring that he will never allow himself to be imprisoned again. While Odin is ready to carry out the deed, Loki and Thor work together to stop him, recognizing Blake as their brother and, like Loki, someone who has suffered from being brought into their dysfunctional family. Nevertheless, Blake caused a huge amount of suffering and remains dangerous, so Thor hands him over to Loki, who accepts the responsibility of dealing with the brother that their father forgot. Blake is chained in a dungeon, with a venomous serpent forever hovering above him, dripping its venom into his eyes, the same punishment that Loki has suffered in the past. Loki then officially renounced his title as the God of Lies, passing it on to Blake.

TheBlood Spider(Michael Bingham) is afictionalsupervillainappearing inAmerican comic bookspublished byMarvel Comics.He first appeared inThe Amazing Spider-Man#367 (October 1992), created by writerDavid Michelinieand artistJerry Bingham.

Blood Spider is a mercenary trained byTaskmasterunder contract by theRed Skullto create a team of mercenaries who would be capable of defeatingSpider-Man.The trio were patterned after the superheroesCaptain America,Hawkeyeand Spider-Man, and the characters were calledDeath-Shield,Jagged Bowand Blood Spider.

Solojoined the fray on the side of the wall-crawler and helps to defeat the three villains and thwart Red Skull's machinations who was using the mercenaries to guard private files sought by Spider-Man in reference to his parents.

Years later, Blood Spider appears with Death-Shield and Jagged Bow among the criminals vying for the multi-million dollar bounty that was placed onAgent Venom's head by Lord Ogre. The trio's attempt on Agent Venom's life is interrupted by competing mercenariesConstrictorand Lord Deathstrike.

Crime Master,with the help of Blood Spider, Death-Shield and Jagged Bow, later tries to steal a damaged Rigellian Recorder fromDeadpooland the Mercs for Money.

Of the trio, Blood Spider was the only character who displayed any superhuman abilities. He was able to shatter a solid concrete wall with a very powerful move, indicating he possessed some degree of superhuman strength. He was not as powerful as Spider-Man, and not nearly as fast. He carried a back pack and wrist devices capable of shooting webbing similar to that of Spider-Man, but much weaker. An ordinary human in peak physical condition, such as Solo, was able to tear through it, which would not have been possible with Spider-Man's webbing. Blood Spider's costume has several design elements that Bagley would later incorporate into the redesign ofBen Reilly's Spider-Man costume. The most prominent of the traits is the use of a larger, symmetrical spider emblem on the front and back, the legs of which meet on the shoulders.

Burglar

The Burglaris a character appearing inAmerican comic bookspublished byMarvel Comics.Created by writerStan Leeand artistSteve Ditko,the characterfirst appearedinAmazing Fantasy#15 (August1962).The character was left unnamed in most of his appearances. He is the first criminal faced bySpider-Man.The Burglar is the killer of the hero's uncle and surrogate father figureBen Parker.

Little of the Burglar's early history is known, but it is mentioned that even in his younger years he was a robber. Caught at some point in his life, the Burglar became the cellmate of an elderly gangster named Dutch Mallone. The Burglar learned from Dutch, who talked in his sleep, about a large possession of money the aged gangster had hidden in a suburban home, which the Burglar planned and schemed to get (ironically as Peter Parker'sUncle BenandAunt Maywould accidentally discover, the possession had since been devoured bysilverfish).

Wanting to find out the location of the home where Mallone's possession was, the Burglar successfully robs a television station for information. Peter Parker, who had become a minor celebrity as Spider-Man, did not bother to stop him despite having the opportunity to do so. Learning that the house where Mallone's money had been hidden was the Parker house, the Burglar breaks into it searching for the money, killing Peter's uncle Ben Parker when he surprised the Burglar. Fleeing the scene, the Burglar is chased by police to an abandoned warehouse. A police officer outside Peter Parker's house told Peter Parker what happened and that his Aunt May is with a neighbor next door. Upon being told where the Burglar is, Spider-Man heads to the abandoned warehouse. Wanting to avenge the death of his Uncle Ben, Spider-Man attacks and knocks out the Burglar. It is then that Spider-Man realizes that the man is the thief he had encountered earlier at the television station. The Burglar was later left to be captured by the authorities by Spider-Man who upon realizing that he could have prevented Ben's death by simple humanitarian behavior in the earlier encounter decided to use his powers more responsibly, never again ignoring a crime if he could help it.

Years later, the Burglar had served his time and was released from prison despite being deemed mentally unstable by psychiatrists.Still searching for Mallone's treasure, the Burglar rented the old Parker home. After tearing it apart and finding nothing, he instead decided to interrogate Ben Parker's widow May Parker who now resided in a nursing home. The Burglar partnered with the nursing home's owner and head doctor Ludwig Rinehart, who was actually the supervillainMysterio.The two took May captive and faked her death. The partnership later soured and the two criminals turned on each other, with Rinehart revealing his true nature before beating and imprisoning the Burglar. Escaping Mysterio, the Burglar retreated to the warehouse where he was first captured by Spider-Man—and where he has been holding May Parker captive. Spider-Man soon tracked down and confronted the Burglar to whom he revealed his true identity as Ben Parker's nephew. Believing that Spider-Man was about to kill him as revenge for murdering Ben, the Burglar suffered a fear-inducedheart attackand died.

The Burglar had a daughter named Jessica Carradine, a photographer who had a brief relationship with Spider-Man's cloneBen Reilly.She believed the murder her father committed was an accident—that the gun Ben Parker was shot with was his own, which went off by accident during a fight—and that Spider-Man had murdered him to stop him from revealing the truth about his "innocence". After learning that Ben Reilly was Spider-Man,she first threatened to expose him with a photograph she took of him unmasked. Having witnessed Ben risk his life to save innocent people in a burning skyscraper, Jessica decided against it and gave him the photograph. She later visited Ben Parker's grave to apologize for her previous poor perception of him.
