Blackjack O'Hare is a fictional anthropomorphic hare in Marvel Comics. The character, created by Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #271 (May 1982).
Blackjack O'Hare is a mercenary and leader of the Black Bunny Brigade. He was hired by Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne to kidnap Lylla, the C.E.O. of Mayhem Mekaniks. He planned on betraying his employers by marrying Lylla and inheriting the company, but was found out. He was rescued by Rocket Raccoon and after a series of incidents that caused him to question his own loyalty, he aided Rocket in defeating the tyrants and left with his new friends to start a new life.[1]
All this appeared to be false when Rocket visited Halfworld and discovered that Blackjack, along with Lylla and
However, this story was immediately retconned as Blackjack returned as a mercenary and adversary to Rocket and Groot. Blackjack was once again working for Dyvyne with his next assignment being that he kidnap Princess Lynx. Rocket, Groot and Wal Rus arrived to defeat Blackjack, his brigade and Dyvyne, once again.[3]
He turned up again, disguised as an impostor Rocket and framing him for a series of murders.[4] He reveals his identity to Rocket and claims that the reason for framing him was that he ruined his chance to assassinate Princess Amalya and destroyed his reputation in the process. Amalya had become a "General" and arrived with Rocket's ex's in an effort to exterminate him themselves. Blackjack considered the possibility of assassinating her now, but was shot by Amalya because he was talking out loud. As a last ditch effort he fires a missile at Rocket, but it gets deflected and Blackjack is presumably killed.[5]

Having much changed, Grove took on the new name of Okkara. It was also revealed that when the Celestials arrived on Earth a million years ago to create the Eternals and Deviants, they also created the Great Machine, and just so happened to base its systemic design on Okkara, who by now was already a living island.

Omertà (Paul "Paulie" Provenzano) is a mutant appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is featured in the Eve of Destruction story arc in Uncanny X-Men.
Paulie first appears in the Eve of Destruction storyline, beginning in Uncanny X-Men #392.
After just being discharged from the
Jean Grey surprises and lectures him on the seeming waste of using his powers to take over the local mob. Paulie correctly guesses that she is here to recruit him into the X-Men and agrees to join if only to see her in her costume. Jean's intention is to recruit Paulie for a mission to Genosha, to rescue the rest of the X-Men from Magneto. (Uncanny X-Men 392)
Jean briefly leaves Paulie to enter the X-Mansion while she talks with
During the trip Genosha, Paul, and teammate Hector Rendoza receive a telepathic 'crash course' in their mutant powers, allowing them better control and understanding. Moments later, Paul suggests that he and Jean enter the cargo bay for 'privacy'. As a rebuttal, she makes him perceive her as elderly and overweight, an unpleasant visual. He also participates in a telepathic jaunt into Dazzler's mind, to see what had recently ravaged the dimension she had arrived from. The attackers were childlike versions of the alternate reality Age of Apocalypse villains. This Paulie is one of the few people in current continuity to have an inkling of what had gone on in said alternate reality.[volume & issue needed]
Paulie and the others end up in a Genoshan public square, attempting to rescue Professor Xavier. The makeshift team battles Magneto. Paulie is convinced that Magneto has slain Dazzler, though this is later proven untrue. After diversionary taunting, the villain launches Paulie toward space, but Northstar saves him. This results in Paulie offering an apology for his behavior to Northstar. Northstar accepts and Magneto is soon subdued by the X-Man Wolverine.[volume & issue needed]
Back at the X-Mansion, despite an offer to stay, most of the team, including Paulie, left.[volume & issue needed]

The One-Above-All was created by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo and first appeared in Fantastic Four #511. In his few appearances, he took the appearance of Jack Kirby, which may suggest he is the representation of the actual comic book writers inside the Marvel Multiverse.[18]
The One-Above-All is the sole creator of all existence in the Marvel Multiverse and, possibly, the Omniverse.[19] He is also the supervisor of the Living Tribunal.

The One Below All is the "dark reflection" or evil manifestation of the One-Above-All, created by
The One Below All resides in the Below Place, which is the lowest layer of Hell. It, as well as the Below Place, is kept behind a metaphysical 'Green Door'. This was first discovered by Brian Banner in a dream.[35] The One Below All is also assumed to be the reason Brian began to drink, lose his mind, and eventually kill his wife. When it came to the day of the first gamma bomb test, helmed by Bruce Banner, the One Below All's powers were released when the power of its detonation partially opened the Green Door and created the first gamma mutate, the Hulk.[36]
The One Below All possessed Jailbait of the Riot Squad who lost control of her powers. When she died, her brother Hotshot had to hold a church hostage in order to perform the last rites of Jailbait. He claimed that Jailbait was possessed by the devil.[37] Then the One Below All possessed Sasquatch after he was killed in a bar fight. This drove Sasquatch on a feral rampage until the Hulk defeated Sasquatch and drained the gamma energy out of him and Sasquatch regressed back to Walter Langkowski.[38] Through this absorption of Sasquatch's gamma energy, the One Below All then transferred into Banner, mocking the Hulk from within Banner's mind with the image of Brian Banner. Brian's ghost was able to regain some control of himself and told the Hulk about the One Below All's plan to enter and control a host body.[39]
The One Below All managed to gain control of the Absorbing Man's body through an experimental procedure using gamma radiation to make him strong enough to fight the Hulk. When his soul encountered the One Below All, the Absorbing Man was unable to comprehend its true form, so much so that his physical body was possessed and split in half, and made its way to the site of the first gamma bomb detonation. While fighting the Hulk, The One Below All absorbed a great deal of his gamma energy, rendering him weak and misshapen. The two reached a stalemate, with the Hulk reabsorbing energy only for the Absorbing Man to take it back again until Puck uses a specialized weapon to blast a hole through the Hulk's chest while the Absorbing Man escapes. Using the ambient gamma radiation from the gamma bomb's detonation, The One Below All uses the Absorbing Man to open the Green Door and plunges New Mexico into the Below Place.[40]
After the Hulk and Bruce Banner split apart, the One Below All appears in its 'true' green cloud form as it prepares to take over the rest of Earth. When the Hulk opposes its plan, the One Below All unleashes on him demons, shaped like the empty 'husks' of people, one, in particular, the husk of General Ross, which transforms into a husk of the Red Hulk to fight. With help from the Absorbing Man and Puck, the Hulk was able to reabsorb the Absorbing Man's gamma radiation and use his thunder clap to disperse the One Below All's cloud form and end his threat to the world.[41]
Doctor Strange later spoke to Mephisto about removing the One Below All's possession from the Hulk after the brief Defenders reunion. Mephisto, however, states that the One Below All is far stronger than he is.[42]
A flashforward to the end of the Marvel Universe shows the One Below All still controlling the body of the Hulk and consuming the sentience of the cosmos, forcibly taking on the same role as Galactus for the next iteration of the Multiverse and becoming the "Breaker of Worlds".[43]
During the "
In the final issues of The Immortal Hulk, as well as its one-shot Time of Monsters and spinoff one-shot Empyre: The Immortal She-Hulk,[45] it is shown how the One Below All brings anyone mutated with gamma radiation to the Below Place, with the first human to be so being Tammuz from Jordan, 9500 BCE.[46] Later, gamma-mutated scientists Brian Banner and Samuel Sterns (the Leader), both enemies to Bruce Banner, were transported to the Below Place via the Green Door where they both were merged into a being which Sterns was primarily in control of and called after his own alias, the Leader.[47] The being was tasked to destroy Bruce Banner.
After the Leader imprisoned the Banner persona (from his own mindscape) in the Below Place, the Hulk and Joe Fixit personas controlled his body and fought the Avengers. After that, he encountered the Fantastic Four, who transported him via the Forever Gate to the Below Place, where the personas separated and meet the Banner persona. They fight the Leader and destroy him, freeing Sterns. Finally, the two personas ask the One Below All about the reason for the Hulk's existence and demand to show his actual face behind the clouds. The One Below All agrees and the green clouds are replaced and outshined by a yellow glowing light coming from the One-Above-All, who reveals himself to be simultaneously serving as the embodiment of creation and all good and of destruction and all evil. The One Above All says the Hulk's existence is a necessity and that the latter serves as a counterweight to other, lesser good. He tells that the Hulk can be what it chooses to be: strong and ruthless, or forbearing and humane. In the case of what to do with Sterns, who lay on the ground beside him, the Hulk decides that he is to be forgiven. Afterward, the Fantastic Four brought all three personas, now together in the body of Bruce Banner, as well as Sterns, back to Earth.[48]

Emily Osborn (nee Lyman) is a supporting character in Marvel Comics. The character, created by J. M. DeMatteis and Sal Buscema, first appeared (as a photo) in The Spectacular Spider-Man #180 (September 1991). She was Norman Osborn's wife and Harry Osborn's mother.
She was apparently the only person that Norman ever showed love to, but their son's birth had weakened her with her dying sometime after.[72]
However, Emily turns up alive where she faked her death and poses as "Emma", a nanny hired by Liz Allan to be there for Normie Osborn and Stanley Osborn.[73] She later took blood samples of her grandchildren for unknown reasons.[74]
During the "Go Down Swinging" storyline, Emily finds out that the Red Goblin is coming after their grandchildren. To keep Normie and Stanley safe, Emily abducts the two.
