Gaea

[edit]

Gaeais a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Gaea is one of the Elder Gods of Earth.

Gaia

[edit]

Gaia,also known as theGuardian of the Universal Amalgamator,is afictionalsuperhero, depicted as possibly being amutantorextraterrestrial.Created byLarry Hama,she first appeared inGeneration X#37.

Not much is known about Gaia's origin besides her having spent thousands of years chained to the Universal Amalgamator at the end of Time, a device that would be used to merge all sentient consciousnesses into one being.[1]Gaia was apparently the safeguard that was supposed to prevent the Amalgamator from being activated by malicious people. She even claimed that her entire galaxy was wiped out at one point for her refusing to activate the Amalgamator.[2]

However, when M-Plate, the synthesis ofEmplateandM,tried to haveSynchuse his power to tap into Gaia's and activate the Amalgamator, Everett refused.[2]The Citadel of the Universal Amalgamator began to crumble around them and Generation X wanted to leave, but Synch went back, along with Penance, to save Gaia. Banshee thought him lost but Gaia knew of a secret portal that was hidden underneath the altar that she had been chained to and—coincidentally—led back near the academy. With the Amalagamator destroyed, Gaia was freed from her responsibility and ran off to live a life that was now her own.[3]

When she was seen next, she had gotten into an accident with a sports car and had pink hair.[4]The policeman who came to the wreck knew of the academy, and suggested that she be put into their hands.[4]She lost some of her abilities to theShadow King'stelepathic shockwave, and stayed with Gen X, hoping to sort out that difficulty with their help.[5]

Gaia formally enrolled in the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters,[6]but left after a short time, saying that she wanted to experience Earth, not just learn about it.[7]

It is unknown if Gaia was one of the 90–95% of mutants who lost their mutant powers onM-Day.[8]

Gaia has been shown to have a degree of superhuman strength, limited invulnerability,telepathy,[4]psychokinesis,[9]and the ability to draw on an extra-dimensional source of matter and energy to create or reshape anything according to her will.[4]She is capable of warping reality to a limited degree, although she is largely inexperienced with this power and its use requires great concentration.[10]Gaia also appears to be either extremely long lived or completely immortal as she stated that she visited Earth 600 years ago and still has the appearance of a teenage girl.

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Gamesmaster is a mutant with the ability to have omnipathy. In his life before becoming the Gamesmaster, he led a regular life with a wife and child; however, years of omnipathic exposure to other people's minds drove him to a point where he eventually forgot his own real name. At some point, Gamesmaster was contacted by the immortal sorceressSeleneand then-Black Queen of theHellfire Club.Together, they organized theUpstarts,a competition for wealthy and powerful individuals with the sole purpose of killing mutants for points in a twisted game. He agreed only to provide a distraction from the constant chatter in his mind. By focusing on the ambitious and powerful thoughts of the Upstarts, Gamesmaster was able to drown out the rest of the world.[12]

In his capacity as the referee of the Upstarts' games, Gamesmaster oversaw the Upstarts' activities, which included confrontations with the team of adolescent mutants known as theHellionsand the team of superhuman mutant adventurers known as theX-Men.After Selene was removed from the game by the UpstartTrevor Fitzroy,Gamesmaster continued to monitor the competition.[13]After the Upstarts captured several former young members of the mutant trainee team, theNew Mutants,and took them to Gamesmaster's base in theSwiss Alps,their teammates inX-Forceand theNew Warriorsattempted to rescue them. Gamesmaster would have defeated them if it were not for the intervention ofPaige Guthrie,the mutant sister ofX-Force'sCannonball,who argued that a greater game would be to compete withProfessor X,the telepathic founder of the X-Men, and others like him who hoped to find and guide the next generation of mutants. Gamesmaster agreed and disbanded the Upstarts after allowing the heroes to leave.[14]

Later, Gamesmaster captured both Doctor Weisman of the Weisman Institute for the Criminally Insane and one of the patients, a young boy named Jeremy Stevens. The Institute had a history of involvement with Xavier, who sensed something was amiss and sentSiryn,the mutant daughter of former X-ManBanshee,to investigate. On arrival, Gamesmaster clouded Siryn's memories, but she was rescued by her ally, the mercenary known asDeadpool.Unbeknownst to Siryn, Deadpool had been captured, but she eventually became aware of his predicament and, with the help of her X-Force teammateShatterstar,came to his rescue.[15]

Gamesmaster later forced Shatterstar to return to the institute. Shatterstar's life had become intertwined with that of one of the institute's patients, Benjamin Russell, and Shatterstar merged with the body of Russell to live. As all of this occurred under the watchful eye of Gamesmaster, the full implications of these events are yet to be revealed.[16]Soon after, Gamesmaster attempted to control the minds of members of the X-Men by trapping them in a world of his own design to hide the fact that he had kidnapped the telepathicJean Grey.However, the X-Men learned of Gamesmaster's deception and confronted him. Gamesmaster subsequently revealed that it was part of a game he was playing with the X-Men to see how they would react to their perfect world, where mutants were no longer feared. He took Grey prisoner, as she was the only telepath among the X-Men who could challenge him. However, Gamesmaster had underestimated the X-Man Joseph, who was unknowingly a clone of the self-styled master of magnetism,Magneto.This error allowed Grey to break free and defeat Gamesmaster.[17]

Years later, Gamesmaster resurfaced, still in possession of his mutant powers following the events ofM-Day.He showed a strong interest in the mutantX-23and promised to watch her closely, even against her will.[18]

The Games Master is an omnipath, a superhumantelepathable to hear the thoughts of every being on the planet. However, he cannot block the thoughts out, and thus his mind is constantly filled with seven billion voices, unless he is able to intensely concentrate on a distraction. Gamesmaster also possesses the ability to manipulate the thoughts of others and has suggested that, in addition to controlling minds en masse (as he once did with Salem Center in New York),[19]he can manipulate the thoughts of the entire population of Earth simultaneously (though Jean Grey determined this to be a fallacy while in combat with him). To a lesser extent, Gamesmaster is also able to control the actions of other sentient beings. He was also shown to be capable of keeping other superhuman abilities in check, as he once did with the X-ManRogue.So far, only three people have proven to be immune to his powers: Jean Grey,Husk(although Husk was only able to resist his telepathy by "husking" into a certain form), andSpeedball.

MistakingSilver Surferfor a minion of Tyrant, Ganymede attacked him and the two fought until Tyrant's minions ambushed and kidnapped them both.

Ganymede, along with Tyrant's other hostages, Silver Surfer,Terrax,Morg,Beta Ray Bill,GladiatorandJack of Heartsescaped their imprisonment and attacked Tyrant together, only to fail miserably.Galactusarrived and ended the battle. After that, those involved went their separate ways except for Ganymede, who decided to stay with Jack of Hearts to help nurse him back to health after his selfless sacrifice that freed his fellow captives.

When the X-Men discover he is still alive (as he was presumed dead), Cyclops, Alex's brother, comes to collect him. Annie and her son soon move in.

While Annie is a normal human, her son,Carter Ghazikhanian,is amutant.Annie has some anti-mutant prejudices, but she tries getting over them. She developed a personal friendship with the X-ManNorthstar,and kept secret his romantic feelings forIceman.She is seen many times administering to wounded X-Men.

When Havok wakes from his coma he pursues a relationship with Annie, even after becoming engaged toPolaris.Havok later leaves Polaris at the wedding altar, further damaging the woman's already-shaky mental state.

Carter is the son ofAnnie Ghazikhanian,the former nurse at theXavier Institute.Since their move to the school, Carter struck up a friendship with the young aquatic mutant Sammy, alias theSquidboy.When Carter tries to help Alex Summers, the X-Man known asHavok,from his coma, something strange occurs which rendered Carter unconscious. His consciousness became ensnared by the essence of the evil counterpart of Havok from theMutant Xuniverse, but Carter and the real Alex were rescued byProfessor X.After the rescue, the Professor indicates he wants to talk to Annie about Carter's father, whose identity has yet to be revealed.

Annie later took him away from the Xavier Institute when she found it a too dangerous place for him. During their exit from the facilities, the newBrotherhood of Evil Mutantsled by the ex-AcolyteExodus,attack the institute. One of the Brotherhood's many victims is Sammy. Carter telepathically detects Sammy's brutal death.

Also, while they leave, theastral projectionof an undetermined person is shown next to Carter's face. Annie seems unaware of this projection.

Gibbon

[edit]

Gibbonis the name of two fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Martin Blank

[edit]

Martin Blankis a man who was seemingly born amutantwith anape-like build and agility. Gibbon later joins acircuswhere he does well as anacrobat.Martin Blank begins his career as a friend ofSpider-Man's while wearing agibbonsuit. He even wants to be his partner, but Spider-Man laughs at him.[25]Sick of being seen as a freak, Martin cannot take further ridicule and lashes out. He then catches the eye ofKraven the Hunter,who enhances the Gibbon's powers with a herb broth, also giving him a great animal rage. Gibbon was defeated by Spider-Man.[26]

Gibbon was one of the inmates at Ryker's Island.[27]Gibbon sought revenge on Spider-Man, trying to prove himself as good as his foe. He is caught in the middle of a fight with Spider-Man andBeetle.Eventually, Gibbon helps Spider-Man by punching out the Beetle.[28]Gibbon later joins up with other has-beens:Kangaroo,Grizzly,andSpotto form theLegion of Losers.[29]

This team falls apart when Spider-Man carted Spot and Kangaroo to jail for bank robbery.[30]He and Grizzly would later attempt to go hero, helping Spider-Man thwart a bank robbery byWhite Rabbitand eventually getting anaction figuredeal.[31][32]

The Gibbon has been shown as retaining his physical mutation followingM-Day,but showed no sign of his former mutant abilities.[volume & issue needed]

Gibbon is seen as a client for the law offices that employShe-Hulk.He steals her tuna melt lunch out of the fridge.[33]

Following the "Civil War"storyline, the Gibbon is a self-confessed loser at thewakeofStilt-Manthat is held at the Bar With No Name. Almost all of the supervillains at the wake are the victims of murder/attempted murder. Disguised as a barman,Punisherpoisons drinks and then blows up the bar.[34]It is later mentioned that "they all had to get theirstomachs pumpedand be treated for third-degree burns ".[35]

Martin is being considered as a "potential recruit" for theInitiativeprogram.[36]

Martin, nearly hairless, has spent his time since the bar attack plotting vengeance on the Punisher against the wishes of Martin's wifePrincess Python(who was apparently blinded in the explosion). When Martin finds the Punisher, however, he decides his revenge is not worth throwing away his life, and hands his gun over to the Punisher, returning home.[37]

Gibbon returns as the lead character in theMarvel Apesstoryline.[38]

The Gibbon wasn’t the perfect choice just because he’s a mainstream Marvel character who can easily "pass" in an ape-filled monkeyverse, but because he’s such alovable loser.Nothing ever goes right for him—he never gets a break, the girl, or the glory—and suddenly he finds the fate of an entire universe in his hands. In some ways,Marvel Apesis a sprawling epic likeLord of the Rings,and the Gibbon is ourFrodo— one small person dwarfed by the overwhelming forces that stand between him and his goal. He even has his ownSamwise— a spunky gal-scientist (human) named Fiona Fitzhugh who literally gets sucked into this adventure along with him.

Gibbon, apparently restored to his simian appearance with the related abilities, is left with his personal life in shambles. His attempts to side with the heroes are frustrated by his ineptitude, and even Princess Python, previously a caring and loving wife, has now become fed up with the meek loser Gibbon is reverting to. Out of boredom and depression, he replies to an ad posted on theDaily Bugleby Fiona Fitzhugh, a spunky and cheery young scientist hoping to study the nature of superpowered individuals. Her experiments fling both of them into a reality populated by simian version of the Marvel Heroes, and destroy the machines that could have been used to bring Gibbon back. Fiona supposes, due to Gibbon having his powers since birth, instead of gaining them in puberty as the majority of the mutants (thus making Gibbon more similar to mutants likeMultiple ManandNightcrawler), and being "drawn" to that particular reality, that Gibbon may be connected somehow to the Simian World.[39]While Fiona asks for help from the simian version of the Fantastic Four, Gibbon is inducted by Spider-Monkey into the Ape-Vengers. Despite their friendly facade, the Ape-Vengers are far more ruthless and bestial than their human counterparts. The Gibbon sets out to discover the truth, with the help of a cadre of dissident simian heroes: the Ape-Vengers are under the thrall ofBaron Blood,who in this reality stole the appearance and the powers ofCaptain America,using his influence to prey over villains' and dissidents' blood at his leisure.[40]Along withSpeedballandWolverine,despite being now pursued by Baron Blood and his followers, Gibbon manages to free Captain America from the iceberg in which he was entombed since the 1940s, gaining his help in battling the impersonator.[41]Eventually, he and Fiona make their way back home.[42]

Later while now resembling a man-sized Gibbon, he travels withGorilla Girl,Fiona, and several other allies asNorman Osbornseeks to exploit the potential of the now somewhat-accessible 'ape' universe.[volume & issue needed]Fiona works to provide the Gibbon with various means of disguise to hide his simian nature.[43]

During the "Hunted"storyline, Gibbon is among the animal-themed superhumans that were captured byTaskmasterandBlack Antfor Kraven the Hunter's Great Hunt that is sponsored byArcadeand his company Arcade Industries.[44]Vulturespoke to Gibbon telling him not to ally with Spider-Man. Vulture turned against Gibbon as the Hunter-Bots move in on Gibbon.[45]Gibbon was mortally wounded by a Hunter-Bot. As he laid dying, he reflected on his life while also coming to the conclusion that Princess Python never loved him. Spider-Man showed up and showed him some comfort by seeing to it that Gibbon did not die alone.[46]Vulture lied to the other animal-themed characters that Gibbon sacrificed his life for them until Spider-Man showed up and mentioned what really happened to Gibbon.[47]

Unnamed criminal

[edit]

Martin Blank later sold his costume toRoderick Kingsleywho gave it to an unnamed criminal. Gibbon was present withHobgoblin(who was actually Roderick Kingsley's butler Claude) when he led his forces into fighting the Goblin King's Goblin Nation. After Hobgoblin was killed by Goblin King, Gibbon was among the villains that defected to the Goblin Nation.[48]

Gibbon was seen with the other former Hobgoblin minions at the Bar with No Name where they encounterElectro.[49]

Gibbon later appears as a member of the Hateful Hexad alongside Bearboarguy,Ox,Squid,Swarm,and White Rabbit. During the Hateful Hexad's disastrous fight against Spider-Man andDeadpool,the battle is crashed by Itsy Bitsy who stabs Gibbon.[50]

Heather first appeared when she barged into the apartment of Matt Murdock, thinking it was her ex-boyfriend Frankie. Not realizing that he moved out and that Matt had just bought the place, she was surprised, but not angered, admitting that Frankie was a "creep" and that she thought Matt was handsome. Due to still having spare keys to the apartment, Heather began to invite herself over and openly starts to flirt with Matt, revealing that her ex, whom she absent-mindedly starts calling "Freddy", is now married and happily begins to make out with Matt against his will.[51]Since then, she became something of a tagalong for Matt andFoggy Nelson,even becoming their new secretary. She starts off as a nuisance for Matt,[52]but she calms down before revealing that her father is Maxwell Glenn, CEO of Glenn Industries, and helps finance his and Foggy's storefront.[53]

Maxwell later became a suspect in embezzled funds, but Heather refused to believe the accusations.[54]Eventually, the embezzler turned out to be his assistant Mr. Stone, relieving Heather.[55]Despite this, her father is once again placed under investigation and arrested.[56]Matt continued to treat Heather like a child due to her scatterbrained behavior and she left their storefront, but Matt managed to bring her back. Unbeknownst to Heather, Maxwell is revealed to have been under the influence ofPurple Man.Soon after, Heather is hit with two major bombs: her father committed suicide in prison, and Matt is Daredevil. Angered over the truth, Heather breaks up with Matt.[57]

Purple Man would later lure Daredevil into a trap, using Heather as bait, and pit him against his rogues. Eventually, Daredevil was victorious and took Heather home.[58]Heather since came back to Matt, slightly more accepting of his double life as a crime fighter.[59]Though they would continue to have an on-again/off-again relationship,[60]with Heather finding herself in the middle of Daredevil's adventures.[61]She resumed running Glenn Industries, but could not help, but feel ignored by Matt.[62]He would later propose to Heather and while she accepts, she is unhappy with his intent for her to quit her position at Glenn Industries, especially when she discovers a conspiracy within the company.[63]To save both Matt and Heather's careers, Foggy andBlack Widowforge letters to both of them, causing the two to break up.[64]

Heather fell back into alcoholism and resumed her socialite lifestyle. She briefly datedTony Stark,before moving on to computer expert and Mayor's aid Tarkington Brown.[65]While under the influence, Heather accidentally revealed that Matt is Daredevil to him. She rushes to warn Matt, though the two of them are still some slight animosity between them. Nevertheless, Matt rescues Heather from Tarkington.[66]Ultimately, Heather could not pull herself out of her alcoholism and depression. She calls Matt to come and see her and while he talks with her, he leaves to stop a mugging. Believing that he was leaving her for good, Heather hangs herself, shattering Matt.[67]

When the chase nears a gas station with a cement mixer, the X-Men manage to surround Herman. They use the mixer to cover him with cement and the Beast uses water bottles from the station himself to put out Herman's fire. At that point, much of Herman's covering of bio-paraffin has burned away, and he is reduced to a skeleton with only a relative thin layer of wax. Later, Herman is seen, still covered in cement, being ferried back to the X-Mansion on a specialized truck.[72]For his crimes, the X-Men send him to help the needy in Africa.

Herman is later seen volunteering to assist mutants and their family members in need at the school.[77]Glob graduates to official X-Men status during his efforts to fight off a demonic invasion threatening innocent civilians.[78]As part of the X-Men, he is on a squad sent after six hundred mutant embryos.

Goblin King

[edit]

Goblin Kingis the name of different characters appearing inAmerican comic bookspublished byMarvel Comics.

Norman Osborn

[edit]

Norman Osbornis the first character to use the Goblin King alias. When the children that work for theVultureare discussing what to do after theSuperior Spider-Man(Otto Octavius's mind in Spider-Man's body) brutally defeats the Vulture, he approaches the children and tells the group that he will be the one that crushes Superior Spider-Man.[84]He is later shown having gathered a new gang of followers together in the sewers formed from discarded members of other villains' gangs like the Vulture, theOwland the thirdWhite Dragon's gangs; these henchmen escaped their organizations unharmed because Superior Spider-Man is more focused on the larger threats (where the original Spider-Man would focus on individuals).

While building an army to attack the Superior Spider-Man, he acts as the Goblin King.[85]TheHandninjas who evaded capture arrive at the sewers and join up with theGoblin Nation.The group revels in the news that, thanks to Superior Spider-Man's assault, the Goblin King now owns over half of New York's organized crime. He claims he now owns New York City as the Goblin Kingpin of Crime.[86]With the help ofMenace,the Goblin King later releases Phil Urich from a prison transport and upgrades the latter's Goblin armor and weapons, asking in return only that his enforcer's only identity from here on shall be Goblin Knight.[87]The Goblin King trains the Goblin Knight, anxious to confront the Superior Spider-Man.[88]The Goblin King later poses as theHobgoblinand is sighted by some of the Spiderlings.[89]

UponCarlie Cooperbeing brought to the Goblin King's lair by Menace, he receives Carlie's journal from Menace which reveals to him that Octavius's mind is in his nemesis's body.[90]The Goblin King douses Carlie with the Goblin formula, causing the woman to mutate into the new superhuman villain Monster. He demands to know Spider-Man's identity, but Monster first asks the Goblin King to reveal his own identity. The Goblin King assures Monster that he is Osborn, but refuses to remove his mask until Carlie has proven a loyal follower and dispatches Monster and Menace on a mission.[91]The Goblin King battles and kills the Hobgoblin, although the Goblin Knight discovers that it was the butler Claude withRoderick Kingsleystill in hiding abroad.[92]

Having staged a coup of New York after spreading his resources by exploiting the Superior Spider-Man's reliance on technology, the Goblin King directly confronts the Superior Spider-Man, angry that he was cheated out of the opportunity to defeat his nemesis, but offering the Superior Spider-Man the chance to join him and the former rejects the offer. With the Superior Spider-Man unable to win against Goblin King's resources, having had various allies abandoned, and with faith in his own abilities gone, Octavius sacrifices himself to restore the original Spider-Man's mind and saveAnna Maria Marconi.[93]Spider-Man arrives for the final confrontation to which the Goblin King quickly realizes that the original Spider-Man is back when responding to his nemesis' taunts with his ownwisecracks.[94]In the duel that follows, Spider-Man unmasks the Goblin King, learning that he has undergone plastic surgery to change his appearance, acting asAlchemax's CEO and intending to re-establish himself as businessmanMason Banks,now that Osborn has become too publicly known as a supervillain. Spider-Man defeats and strips the villain of his powers with a serum devised by Octavius, but Osborn manages to escape throughLiz Allan's discreet aid. In hiding once again, he reflects that the various heroes will be unprepared for him when he returns with his new identity and approach as a businessman, seemingly no longer afflicted by the mental illness associated with the Goblin formula.[95]

Phil Urich

[edit]

Philip "Phil" Urichis the second character to use the Goblin King alias. Following the conclusion ofThe Superior Spider-Manstoryline where the true Spider-Man returns, he now leads the Goblin Nation's remnants as the self-proclaimed Goblin King. He meets withMister Negativewhere they wait forEelto show up to divide the criminal underground following his predecessor's defeat. The meeting is crashed by theBlack CatandElectro.Black Cat mentions to the Goblin King and Mister Negative that Spider-Man had outed them and wants a share in their plans.[96]

During the "AXIS"storyline, the Goblin King attempts to rescue Lily Hollister from a police transport; this mission goes awry and Lily is rendered amnesiac.[97]When the Goblin King confronts Kingsley in the latter's headquarters, the Queen Cat comes to the defense. The Goblin King recognizes Hollister as the Queen Cat, but Lily does not recognize him. Following the attack, Missile Mate is convinced by the Goblin King that the Hobgoblin would soon abandon the heroes that were trained. Missile Mate goes to the Goblin Nation's headquarters and asks the Goblin King to join and be a supervillain. The Goblin King is reluctant, but Missile Mate shows him that he has also gathered all the supervillains that the Hobgoblin had "abandoned" (consisting of8-BallIII,Killer ShrikeII,MelterIII,Tiger SharkII, andUnicornIV) after becoming a good guy.[98]While the celebration of Hobgoblin Day is being held with a parade in Kingsley's honor, Missile Mate betrays the Hobgoblin and attempts to murder in the Goblin King's name. Kingsley, however, had already expected the betrayal and had been using a hologram decoy which took Missile Mate's blow. As soon as Kinglsey confronts Missile Mate, the Goblin King appears with his Goblin Nation and attacks the celebration. The Hobgoblin bests the Goblin King in combat and delivers him and the Goblin Nation members with him to the authorities.[99]

Having escaped prison under undisclosed circumstances during the "Go Down Swinging"storyline, the Goblin King raids an old gentlemen's club to acquire the Goblin weaponry stored there, but Norman Osborn- currently wielding theCarnagesymbiote's power- apparently kills Urich by tearing his heart out.[100]

Fictional character biography

[edit]
Gorr fromFantastic Four#171. Pencils byGeorge Pérez.

Gorr is a goldengorillagiven human intelligence and greatly increased strength by theHigh Evolutionary.[158]

Fearing thatGalactuswas about to destroy his creationCounter-Earth,the High Evolutionary created Gorr and sent him to Earth to seek the aid of theFantastic Four.[159]However, when he arrived on Earth, Gorr became inexplicably mutated into aKing Kong-sized monstrosity and went on a rampage through Manhattan, climbing to the top of theChrysler Building.[160]When the Fantastic Four intervened, Gorr duped them into coming aboard his ship and transported them to Counter-Earth. The Fantastic Four, High Evolutionary, and Gorr were unable to convince Galactus not to destroy Counter-Earth, though Galactus challenged them to find a replacement within 48 hours. Gorr and theHuman Torchfound an Earth-like planet, which turned out to be inhabited bySkrulls.The Skrulls abandoned the planet after an altercation with Gorr, leaving the planet uninhabited and thus worthless to Galactus. Ultimately, theImpossible Manconvinced Galactus to devour his own planet of Poppup instead. Gorr remained with the High Evolutionary as a "valet."[159]

Much later, Gorr became a prisoner/research project of theStranger,held captive on his laboratory world alongside Stranger's other prisoners.[161]When theOvermindattacked the Stranger, he freed the Stranger's captives including Gorr who escaped.[162]

Gosamyr

[edit]

Gosamyris asupervillainturnedsuperheroappearing inAmerican comic bookspublished byMarvel Comics.The character first appeared inTheNew Mutants#66 (August 1988), and was created byLouise SimonsonandBret Blevins.

Simonson said she was considering having Gosamyr reform and join the New Mutants, depending on how much Simonson liked her.[163]Gosamyr was written out of the series withThe New Mutants#74.

Gosamyr is a member of a rare, ancient race of alien beings. In line with her heritage, Gosamyr is a very beautiful and delicate humanoid creature in her early stage. Once they reach adulthood, members of her racecocoonthemselves for several thousand years before finally emerging as large powerful monstrosities. If released too early they can be powerful enough to destroy planets, evensolar systems.[164]The females of the species also haveempathicpowers which, even without intent, can cause conflict between even the closest of friends to the point of destruction. Provoking such conflict has evolved into the cultural norm for the species as a means of vying for dominance.[165]As part of this, Gosamyr used her beauty to seduce male humans. She even tries to chat up eight-year-oldJack Power,who resents her approaches.[166]

Through some bad business dealings by her brother, Gosamyr and her family are forfeited to the evil alien businessman Spyder. Spyder keeps most of Gosamyr's family imprisoned while she herself is kept at the end of a leash as a pet.[167]

Through similar arrangements, Spyder had also acquired "property rights" overLila Cheney.Lila is kidnapped by Spyder's men in spite of the efforts of her friends from theNew Mutants.While in Earth's orbit, Gosamyr gives Spyder the slip, steals a space yacht and goes to Earth to find the New Mutants and ask for their help to save both her family and Lila.[167]

Gosamyr and the New Mutants follow Spyder to a planet where greed and the search for profit is the norm. On their space voyage, Gosamyr manipulates the New Mutants and causes conflict between them to establish herself as theAlpha femaleof the group. OnlyWarlock,being aTechnarch,is immune to her manipulations and suspects that Gosamyr is a threat before it is too late, and her manipulations have exposed Rahne's repressed feelings for Lila's boyfriendCannonball,causedMagikto lose control of her demonic essence, and brought the New Mutants to blows with each other. Magik breaks the spell by striking Gosamyr with herSoulsword.Now with Gosamyr as their prisoner, the New Mutants break into Spyder's palace to rescue Lila, but are captured by Spyder, who has been monitoring their progress and using Gosamyr's nature to lead them into a trap.[168]

Gosamyr frees the New Mutants by using a trick which makes her invisible. They then discover that Gosamyr's family are in their cocoon stage and Spyder intends to force them out and kill them to use their bodies to make valuabletextiles.Exiting their cocoons long before their time, the creatures grow with every passing minute and threaten to destroy the planet and its solar system. To prevent this, Lila apparently teleports them and herself into the Sun. Now orphaned, Gosamyr nonetheless accepts that Lila's killing her family was necessary.[164]

Magik then uses her own teleportation powers to get the New Mutants and Gosamyr away from the planet and intoLimbo,only to find themselves trapped there. Gosamyr remains on the fringes, using her emphatic power to keep the demons away from her. She no longer actively manipulates her companions, and though Warlock remains suspicious of her,[169]New Mutants co-leaderMiragehas forgiven her earlier misdeeds.[170]

Gosamyr helps out clearing the damage aftera demonic invasion of Manhattan.She uses her powers to help relieve the pain of male patients in a local hospital.[volume & issue needed]More controversially, she helps the kids fromPower Packreconcile with their parents who, in the course of fighting an enemy, discovered that their children had super-powers which they had kept secret from them. The parents suffered a nervous breakdown as a result, but Gosamyr convinces them that their children are still normal.[166](This "cover-up" was highly criticized in the readers'letters column.[citation needed])

Gosamyr and her companions decide to take up residence in the spacecraftShip,the ally and mobile headquarters ofX-Factor.Upon scanning Gosamyr, Ship recognizes her species and tries to kill her. Though the New Mutants fight Ship to a standstill in her defense, the incident convinces Gosamyr that her nature makes her too much of a danger to the New Mutants and their friends. Ship informs her of a planet ofmysticswho might be able to teach her to curb her nature and provides her with a spacecraft with which to go there. Resolved to not cause any more harm to her friends, Gosamyr takes Ship's suggestion and leaves Earth.[171]

While in the larval stage, Gosamyr possesses wings that allow her to glide over short distances. She can also become invisible once she wraps herself in them. She also possesses some empathic control over males, which she mostly uses to seduce or bring about conflict.

The pupal stage of Gosamyr's species lasts for millennia, during which they become exceptionally mature of spirit and gain great size and strength, enough to destroy a whole solar system. In adult form they are gentle and solitary.[164]

Grendel

[edit]

Grendel,also known as theSymbiote Dragon,is a character appearing inAmerican comic booksforMarvel Comics.The character first appeared inVenomvol. 4 #1 (May 2018), and was created byDonny CatesandRyan Stegman.

Symbiote Dragon

[edit]

Grendel is asymbiotecreated byKnullbillions of years in the past, sent out into the cosmos alongside its brethren to destroy and devour everything they came across. Arriving on Earth in the 6th century, it was subdued by Thor and imprisoned in a glacier, where it's exhumed byS.H.I.E.L.D.centuries later. Lying dormant for several decades, Grendel is indwelled by Knull and rampaged through New York, but is ultimately defeated byEddie Brock/Venom.[173][174]

Tyrannosaurus

[edit]

Tyrannosaurusis the first offshoot of the Grendel symbiote thanks to S.H.I.E.L.D. and bonded to soldiers in theVietnam Waras a black-ops super-soldier initiative. Tyrannosaurus was bonded toRex Strickland;it initially seized control of its host which it tried to corrupt before gradually being touched by Rex's compassion, nobility and goodness, and tried to shield Rex from an explosion but failed. Feeling guilty, Tyrannosaurus emulated its host's appearance/identity and personality for decades. Tyrannosaurus worked with Brock and helped Venom against Knull and Gendrel, revealing its true form and amalgamating itself with its ally before sacrificing itself in an attempt to immolate the superior symbiotes.[175][176][177]

Dark Carnage

[edit]

Dark Carnage,also simply known asCarnage,is another offshoot of the Grendel symbiote. It initially bonded with the damaged form ofCletus Kasady/Carnagedue a cult worshiping symbiote using Grendel's remnants which was stolen from theMaker.[178]He consumed the various symbiotes for his own cult,[179][180][181]such as Lee Price / Maniac which is theManiasymbiote's host.[182]His form as Dark Carnage is a thirteen-foot-tall skeletal monster with Knull's spiral on its forehead and a white dragon/spider emblem on his chest, and effectively is a demigod possessing power far beyond what a regular symbiote bestows its host, due to his connections to Chthon through the curse of the Darkhold and Knull through Grendel.[183]Dark Carnage fightsPeter Parker / Spider-Manand Brock, but is surprised by theHulk.[184][185]Caught off-guard by Parker's various allies, Dark Carnage tried to use Dylan Brock andNormie Osbornas hostages before Brock cut Kasady's corpse in half which also reawakened Knull in the process.[186]One of the splintered versions bonded toMiles Morales / Spider-Manas a unique six-armed symbiote.[187]

Afterwards, Devil Carnage assimilated Venom while tormenting Eddie and Dylan before being separated and defeated yet bonding to a great white shark to escape.[188]

Carnage bonded to a great white shark to escape from the Isla de Huesos, and prowled the ocean for several months as the "red king of darkness". Eventually it stumbled upon a boat full of whalers and seizing the opportunity, Carnage catches one of the whalers and bonds to him, climbs aboard and prepares to slaughter the crew, intent on taking its place as the Red Right Hand of the King in Black, however, Knull is killed by Brock which causes the symbiote dome encasing Earth to shatter into countless symbiotes. Through the symbiote hive-mind, Venom is the new god of the symbiotes and calls out to Carnage who snarls to get out of his head. As symbiotes rain from the sky onto the ship and into the ocean, they bond to the crew of the ship and state that they are Venom, leaving Carnage shocked and incredulous. Manifesting an arm-blade, Carnage snarls as Venom states that Knull is dead. As Carnage sinks back into the ocean, Eddie says Carnage is not welcome in the reformed Hive and sentences to execution. Countless symbiote-controlled sharks began swarming Carnage and devouring in a feeding frenzy until the symbiote completely disappears in the darkness of the ocean.[189]

Following the confrontation with the new King in Black, a piece of the symbiote survived and chooses a fish for a host and then attacks a shark. It eventually moves up the food chain and arrives on a fishing boat and begins again a killing spree. Inspired by what Eddie had done, Carnage formulated a new plan to make a comeback using the power Knull had bequeathed it to create a rival Hive with itself as its nexus. Carnage slowly made its way back to New York – restoring itself by devouring everyone it came across en route. Once back in Manhattan, Carnage bonded to Senator Arthur Krane to run a campaign to get Earth rid of aliens, both the good and bad type, and is working withAlchemaxand theFriends of Humanity.Carnage also began to infect many symbiotes, such as Phage, Lasher, Riot and Agony.[190]Once all his soldiers were in place, Carnage killed on live television at one of his rallies and directed his Hive to slaughter as many attending civilians as possible, but was opposed byFlash Thompson,Silence,Toxinand Sleeper. Carnage assimilated Extrembiote – a symbiote-dragon mutated by Extremis – while abandoning Krane, transforming into a symbiote-dragon and flew away while using Agony as a loyal pawn.[191]

Greystone

[edit]

Devlin Greystoneis a fictionalMāoricharacter in theMarvel Universe,who was part of the second incarnation ofX-Factor.He was created byHoward Mackie,and first appeared inX-Factor#140 (December, 1997).

Greystone is from the same alternate future asBishop,Archer,Fixx, andShard.He is a member of the Xavier Underground Enforcers (XUE), a rogue branch of theXavier's Security Enforcers(XSE) who wanted to travel back in time and change their future.

When he was a child, Greystone lived with his mother in a type ofmutantconcentration camp. As part of their punishment, each prisoner was required to have an "M" branded over their right eye to outwardly signify their status as a mutant. During his branding process by an evil man named Micah, Greystone panicked and – due to the large amount of stress – manifested his mutant power years before the traditional onset at puberty. This resulted in him breaking the machine (leaving him with only a partial brand), and trying to break out with his mother. Micah shot and killed her and was about to kill Greystone too if not for the incitement of theSummers Rebellionwhich ultimately led to mutant freedom. However, this was not as grand as it seemed, for Greystone became an orphan and a street urchin outside the confines of the camp.

Upon discovering that Shard was in the present, the X.U.E. managed to travel back in time due to the psionic link Fixx created between the members of the X.U.E. which Shard was also a member of, and inhabited the bodies of three recently deceased people. Greystone inhabited the body of the adolescent teenBrian Young.

While looking in the newspaper one day, Greystone happens to see the picture of a young boy named Micah. He immediately recognizes him as the same Micah who murdered his mother and concocts a plan to murder the child, thus averting his future and his mother's death. He, along with Fixx and Archer, track down the boy and Greystone tries to kill him. Archer and Fixx convince him that it is unethical to condemn the child for crimes he has not yet committed and the trio leaves. They had tried to change the future but instead ended up joiningX-Factor.

Greystone slowly developed temporal insanity, believing that his mission was accomplished, and he could go home to a better world and be reunited with his mother, who might theoretically be alive. In an attempt to return to his own time, Greystone built a flying time machine, but due to shoddy craftmanship and unsound theories, the craft exploded, seemingly killing Greystone andHavok,who was attempting to stop him.

Greystone can increase his body mass, density, durability, stamina and strength exponentially but at a price: the bigger he gets, the more deformed and horrific-looking he becomes. Greystone can appear as his host body or in his original body—humorously a small, white child—also carrying the memories from both bodies.

Melody Guthrie

[edit]

Melody Guthrieis the younger sister ofCannonball,Husk,andIcarus.Her father dies early in her life due toblack lung.Melody is seen in multiple issues of the New Mutants, living at theirKentuckyfarm, as her brother Cannonball is a featured character in that series. Many stories focus on his home life.

Melody sees her siblings develop powers one by one. Her brother Sam is the first, followed by Paige (aka Husk). Husk comes to the attention of the alien entities known as thePhalanx;they come to the farm, endangering the lives of the entire family, kidnapping Paige, and destroying the family home. Much later Josh/Icarus manifests his wings during a music festival; the resulting chaos draws all the Guthries into a brutal feud with another family. Melody then develops the ability to produce an aura that allows her to fly. After this manifestation, she becomes known as Aero. She then joins Xavier's team as a student during a time when Cannonball is one of the supporting staff. At one point he rebukes her for showing off in front of a helicopter news crew.

Due to the effects ofScarlet Witchgoing insane in the Marvel crossover event "Decimation",a majority of Earth's mutants lose their powers. Aero and her brotherJebboth lost their powers following the events of M-Day. She doesn't quite understand how this affects her. In an attempt to prove to one of her teachers,Emma Frost,that she still has her powers, she leaps off of a roof; another teacher,Hank McCoy,managed to save her from injury.

Melody moves back home with her mother, Lucinda, and her other siblings. She later appears as an astral projection caused by Emma Frost during a confrontation with Ms. Marvel. She and her mother later receive a call from Emma Frost concerning the death of Melody's brother,Joshua,who was killed in an attack on Xavier's.[224]

Melody was allowed to live in the newly created mutant-only nation of Krakoa because she was a former mutant and a member of the Guthrie family, known for their strong X-Gene. There, she became the first to undergo a novel ritual called the Crucible, a trial of combat against Apocalypse to earn the right to die and be resurrected by the Five, to regain her lost powers. In front of a large ensemble of mutants, she was brutalized by Apocalypse, who urged her to give up and ask to heal instead of persisting in the fight. Melody refused and was ultimately killed by Apocalypse, passing the trial of Crucible. She later claimed her prize when she was resurrected by the Five, with her former powers returned to her.[225]
