Quicksand
Quicksand is a fictional supervillain, created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, who first appeared in Thor 392.
A woman of Vietnamese descent, Quicksand was once a scientist working at a nuclear facility. An accident transforms her body into a sand-like substance (similar to Sandman). Pretty and selfish, she has a hard time adjusting to her transformation. She calls herself Quicksand and attacks the nuclear reactor in a rage, hoping to get revenge for the accident and shut it down. Thor confronts her and prevents disaster by using his hammer to transport the entire facility to another dimension, and Quicksand escapes.[23] She is later contacted by Mongoose on behalf of Count Tagar, who wants a cell sample from Thor to create a race of gods. She initially refuses, but is persuaded when Mongoose demonstrates a device which can temporarily transform her back into human form. She barely holds her own in battle, and escapes again once the sample is collected.[24]
Since then, Quicksand has apparently resigned herself to her transformation, even reveling in the power and profit she has enjoyed as a professional super-criminal. She serves for a time with

Quicksand's strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and durability have all been enhanced as a result of exposure to atomic radiation. Her altered body provides her with protection from physical and energy attacks. She has the ability to transform into a malleable sand-like substance which can be hardened, dispersed, or shaped according to her will. She can increase her size and mass to an unknown extent when in sand-form, and can manipulate it for various effects. She has used this ability to form hammers, elongate parts of her body, and fire sandblasts. Although Quicksand's body is capable of transforming to human form, she does not appear to be able to initiate this change without artificial assistance.

Meredith Quill is the mother of Peter Quill / Star-Lord and the wife of J'son. The Earth-791 version of the character, created by Steve Englehart, Steve Gan and Bob McLeod, first appeared in Marvel Preview #4 (January 1976).

Meredith Quill in Earth-791
While hiking, Meredith sees a spaceship crash near her. She investigates and discovers the human-like alien Jason of Sparta. After nursing him back to health and forming a romantic relationship with him, Jason leaves, not wanting to risk taking Meredith into dangerous territory, and erases her mind so she will not feel sad. A month later, Meredith rekindles her romance with an old acquaintance, Jake Quill, and marries him.[44] When Meredith gives birth to Peter, the planets, sun and moon are aligned, causing his appearance to be noticeably different from Meredith and Jake. Feeling that Meredith has cheated on him, Jake takes the baby from the weakened Meredith and tries to kill him, but suffers a heart attack. Meredith is unable to reach Peter for an hour due to her condition. She raises Peter by herself, living a relatively peaceful and uneventful life until Peter sees a spaceship land while out for a walk. He runs back to his mother and brings her to see the aliens, but they turn out to be evil and kill her, leaving Peter an orphan.[45]
Meredith Quill in Earth-616
When Star-Lord's story was updated, Meredith's history was also altered. After getting over a bad breakup with her ex-husband Jake, an alien by the name of J'son crashes in front of her house. She nurses him back to health and over time the two fall in love. J'son fixes his ship so he can return to war against the Badoon and leaves behind his element gun as a keepsake. Shortly after he leaves, Meredith realizes she is pregnant, eventually giving birth to Peter.[46] Meredith raises Peter with the help of her friend Lisa Chang, who would train Peter as an adult.[47] The Badoon, hellbent on destroying anyone from J'son's bloodline, return and kill Meredith, but are killed along with her.[46]
