Fictional character biography
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 sorceress Selene and then-Black Queen of the Hellfire Club. Together, they organized the Upstarts, 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 the
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 sent
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 telepathic Jean 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 of M-Day. He showed a strong interest in the mutant X-23 and promised to watch her closely, even against her will.[18]

Geist
Geist (Nikolaus Geist) was a supervillain in Marvel Comics. He was created by Archie Goodwin, and first appeared in Wolverine (vol. 2) #17 (November 1989).
Geist had been an adviser for Adolf Hitler during World War II, and gave Hitler ideas on how to run the concentration camps. To escape war crime punishment, he used German rocket scientists to help the OSS. He later participated in questionable CIA operations. During Wolverine (vol. 2) #17 and later issues, however, he was an adviser to President Caridad, of the fictional South American country Tierra Verde. Caridad wanted Geist to create a superhero and champion for Tierra Verde, much like Captain America. He was experimenting on humans with a special crop of cocaine, which drove the victims mad. His main guinea pig was Roughouse. Wolverine learned of this, and even though Roughouse had been his enemy, he helped him escape.
Wolverine cut off Geist's metal shell, leaving him to die.[21] However, Tierra Verde allowed CIA agents to bring Geist out of the country allowing subsequent repairs. Soon after that, Magneto caught up with him and brought him into an abandoned house, exacting his revenge for the death of Magnus' wife and supposedly killing him off-panel.
Geist was a cyborg, but had no superpowers. Due to his advanced age he was encased in a metal shell simply to survive.

Gibbon
Gibbon is the name of two fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Martin Blank
Martin Blank is a man who was seemingly born a mutant with an ape-like build and agility. Gibbon later joins a circus where he does well as an acrobat. Martin Blank begins his career as a friend of Spider-Man's while wearing a gibbon suit. 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 of Kraven 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.
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 by White Rabbit and eventually getting an action figure deal.[31][32]
The Gibbon has been shown as retaining his physical mutation following M-Day, but showed no sign of his former mutant abilities.[volume & issue needed]
Gibbon is seen as a client for the law offices that employ She-Hulk. He steals her tuna melt lunch out of the fridge.[33]

Martin is being considered as a "potential recruit" for the Initiative program.[36]
Martin, nearly hairless, has spent his time since the bar attack plotting vengeance on the Punisher against the wishes of Martin's wife Princess 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 the Marvel Apes storyline.[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 a lovable 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 Apes is a sprawling epic like Lord of the Rings, and the Gibbon is our Frodo— one small person dwarfed by the overwhelming forces that stand between him and his goal. He even has his own Samwise— 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 the Daily Bugle by 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 like
Later while now resembling a man-sized Gibbon, he travels with Gorilla Girl, Fiona, and several other allies as Norman Osborn seeks 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]

Gilded Lily
Gilded Lily (Lillian von Loont) was featured in the series Alpha Flight, first appearing in Alpha Flight volume 1 issue 20. She was an alchemist of great talent and a student of Diablo. Lily was initially seen to be a woman in a golden mask, golden gloves, and a fur coat that covered her slender body to her feet. She had lived for an inordinate length of time, her makeup (on her mask) and hair were very much in the style of the 1920s, particularly that of Louise Brooks.

Heather Glenn
Heather Glenn is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is a brief love interest to Matt Murdock, Daredevil. The character, created by Marv Wolfman and William Robert Brown, first appeared in Daredevil #126 (July 1975).
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 and Foggy 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 of Purple 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 and Black Widow forge letters to both of them, causing the two to break up.[64]
Heather fell back into alcoholism and resumed her socialite lifestyle. She briefly dated Tony 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]

- Heather Glenn makes a cameo appearance in Daredevil, portrayed by an uncredited actress. She leaves a message on Matt's phone, announcing that she is breaking up with him due to his enigmatic behavior.
- Heather Glenn will appear in Daredevil: Born Again, played by Margarita Levieva.[68][69]

Bulk and Glowworm were outcasts, not just for their mutant status or unusual appearance, but because both continually gave off toxic levels of hard radiation. The two sought shelter in a toxic waste dump in New Jersey, but upon hearing about the group X-Factor (who at that time were posing as mutant hunters), the pair decided to attack them to "protect mutants".

Norman Osborn
Norman Osborn is the first character to use the Goblin King alias. When the children that work for the Vulture are discussing what to do after the Superior 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, the Owl and the third White 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.
Upon
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 save Anna 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 own wisecracks.[94] In the duel that follows, Spider-Man unmasks the Goblin King, learning that he has undergone plastic surgery to change his appearance, acting as Alchemax's CEO and intending to re-establish himself as businessman Mason 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 through Liz 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]

Deciding to save the young Gog from his sinking ship, Kraven takes him with him and decides to raise him as a pet; much to Kraven's surprise, Gog rapidly grows to a gigantic size only days after being found.[103] Kraven, realizing how useful Gog can be, decides to use him in a plot to conquer the Savage Land. After kidnapping the visiting Gwen Stacy from a camp in the Savage Land, Kraven and Gog battle the heroes Ka-Zar and Spider-Man.[104] While Ka-Zar deals with Kraven, Spider-Man defeats Gog by luring him into a patch of quicksand, which he then sinks to the bottom of.[103] Gog would later be saved from dying in the quicksand by the Plunderer.

Alongside the Squadron, he falls under the influence of the Serpent Cartel. The team travels to the mainstream Marvel Universe and battles the Avengers. As there is already a Hawkeye in that universe, McDonald changes his name to the Golden Archer to "avoid confusion", picking a name that the Avenger Hawkeye had once used as an alias.[135][136] The Avengers eventually convince the Squadron that the Serpent Cartel is evil, and the team denounces them.[137]
Alongside the Squadron, he is mind-controlled by the Overmind. The team is freed by the Defenders, and the two teams battle the Overmind and Null, the Living Darkness.[138] To repair the global chaos wrought by the Overmind, the Golden Archer joins in the Squadron's decision to take control of the United States to implement the Utopia Program, and with the rest of the team publicly reveals his secret identity.[139] Wyatt was captured, and nearly executed by vigilantes.[140]

Gosamyr
Gosamyr is a supervillain turned superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in The New Mutants #66 (August 1988), and was created by Louise Simonson and Bret Blevins.
Simonson said she was considering having Gosamyr reform and join the New Mutants, depending on how much Simonson liked her.[152] Gosamyr was written out of the series with The 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 race cocoon themselves for several thousand years before finally emerging as large powerful monstrosities. If released too early they can be powerful enough to destroy planets, even solar systems.[153] The females of the species also have empathic powers 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.[154] As part of this, Gosamyr used her beauty to seduce male humans. She even tries to chat up eight-year-old Jack Power, who resents her approaches.[155]
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.[156]
Through similar arrangements, Spyder had also acquired "property rights" over
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 the
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 valuable textiles. 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.[153]
Magik then uses her own teleportation powers to get the New Mutants and Gosamyr away from the planet and into
Gosamyr helps out clearing the damage after a 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 from Power Pack reconcile 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.[155] (This "cover-up" was highly criticized in the readers' letters column.[citation needed])
Gosamyr and her companions decide to take up residence in the spacecraft
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.[153]

Grendel
Grendel, also known as the Symbiote Dragon, is a character appearing in American comic books for Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Venom vol. 4 #1 (May 2018), and was created by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman.
Symbiote Dragon
Grendel is a symbiote created by Knull billions 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 by S.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 by Eddie Brock / Venom.[162][163]
Tyrannosaurus
Tyrannosaurus is the first offshoot of the Grendel symbiote thanks to S.H.I.E.L.D. and bonded to soldiers in the Vietnam War as a black-ops super-soldier initiative. Tyrannosaurus was bonded to Rex 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.[164][165][166]
Dark Carnage
Dark Carnage, also simply known as Carnage, is another offshoot of the Grendel symbiote. It initially bonded with the damaged form of Cletus Kasady / Carnage due a cult worshiping symbiote using Grendel's remnants which was stolen from the Maker.[167] He consumed the various symbiotes for his own cult,[168][169][170] such as Lee Price / Maniac which is the Mania symbiote's host.[171] 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.[172] Dark Carnage fights Peter Parker / Spider-Man and Brock, but is surprised by the Hulk.[173][174] Caught off-guard by Parker's various allies, Dark Carnage tried to use Dylan Brock and Normie Osborn as hostages before Brock cut Kasady's corpse in half which also reawakened Knull in the process.[175] One of the splintered versions bonded to Miles Morales / Spider-Man as a unique six-armed symbiote.[176]
Afterwards, Devil Carnage assimilated Venom while tormenting Eddie and Dylan before beind separated and defeated yet bonding to a great white shark to escape.[177]
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.[178]
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 with

Greystone
Devlin Greystone is a fictional Māori character in the Marvel Universe, who was part of the second incarnation of X-Factor. He was created by Howard Mackie, and first appeared in X-Factor #140 (December, 1997).
Greystone is from the same alternate future as
When he was a child, Greystone lived with his mother in a type of mutant concentration 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 the Summers Rebellion which 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 teen Brian 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 joining X-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 and Havok, 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.

- Grotto, legal name Elliot Grote, appears in the Nesbitt. After Frank Castle attacks a Kitchen Irish meeting, of which Grotto is the sole survivor, Grotto flees to Josie's Bar, coincidentally while Matt Murdock, Karen Page and Foggy Nelson are there. Matt, tipped off by Grotto's adrenaline spike and observing that he is carrying a weapon, approaches Grotto, who in turn asks the Nelson & Murdock trio to get him witness protection. While Karen guards Grotto as he recovers in the hospital from a shrapnel wound he received in the shooting, Frank shows up and makes a second attempt to kill him, but Karen manages to get Grotto out of the hospital and to the 15th Precinct.[191] With Matt recuperating from getting shot in the head by Frank during the attack, Karen and Foggy are left to negotiate a plea deal for Grotto with District Attorney Smanatha Reyes and Assistant District Attorney Blake Tower. As part of the deal, Grotto will give up an associate in the mafia named Edgar Brass in exchange for witness protection. However, Reyes double-crosses Nelson & Murdock, instead using Grotto as bait for Frank, with "Brass" actually being an ESU officer. A firefight breaks out and Grotto flees the scene. He later calls Karen from a payphone to unceremoniously fire the firm, despite Karen's efforts to apologize for Reyes' double-cross.[192] He does not get far, as Frank captures him and takes him to a rooftop where he has already captured and chained up Matt. Frank gives Matt a gun, and the choice of killing either one of them. Matt shoots the chains securing him, but is unable to stop Frank from fatally shooting Grotto.[193] Out of guilt, Matt, Karen and Foggy hold a private funeral for Grotto at Matt's church. In his eulogy, the most positive thing Father Lantom can say about Grotto is that he went to and donated to the church, and he explains to Matt afterwards that if they ignored his criminal past, there would be no learning from it.[194]
