Taegukgi (Tae-Won) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, created by Jed MacKay and Alessandro Vitti, first appeared in Taskmaster (vol. 3) #3 (February 2021).
Taegukgi is a South Korean superhero and field leader of the Tiger Division, the country's superhuman response team, and is regarded as its greatest national hero.[1]
Orphaned as a baby in 1950 during the Korean War, Tae-Won was adopted by a similarly orphaned young woman whom he saw as his ajumma. Despite her best efforts, a young Tae-Won fell in with a group of thieves, which eventually became a criminal gang as they got older. In 1978, when the gang broke into a government facility to steal valuable materials, Tae-Won was exposed to energies created by the Psylot Gem, an Asgardian artifact left behind in Korea by Loki many years ago, which was being experimented on by the South Korean government. Instead of harming him, the Psylot Gem granted Tae-Won superhuman abilities. After his ajumma helped him control his powers and showed him the pain and misery inflicted upon civilians by the gang he created, Tae-Won vowed to use his powers to help people in need and to atone for his criminal past, eventually becoming the nation's greatest superhero, Taegukgi.[2]
When Taskmaster infiltrates Tiger Division's base to copy White Fox's kinesic signature, he is forced to flee when Taegukgi intervenes and nearly kills him with his heat vision. Despite this, Taskmaster still succeeds with his objective.[3] As part of a coup, a criminal cult known as the Choi Faction employs Mongdal, a criminal with the ability to transfer his consciousness into the bodies of others, to possess Taegukgi and threatens to have him destroy Seoul unless their demands are met. However, Mongdal double-crosses the Choi Faction and has Taegukgi kill them before possessing him into taking over the country. The Tiger Division is nearly defeated until their ally Black Cat provokes Mongdal's consciousness into returning to his original body and kills him, freeing Taegukgi.[1]
Taegukgi and the Tiger Division are sent to recover the Psylot Gem when it is stolen from its storage unit and track the theft to the mysterious MTO Corporation. The true leader of MTO is revealed to be Min-Jae, Taegukgi's childhood best friend and former partner-in-crime, who reveals the truth behind the Psylot Gem. Despite the efforts of the Tiger Division, Min-Jae steals Taegukgi's powers and seals them back in the Gem. At this moment, Min-Jae's benefactor Doctor Doom arrives to take the Gem's powers for himself, but Taegukgi convinces Min-Jae to help fight against Doom. Taegukgi is able to reclaim his powers from the Gem, which is destroyed during the battle; Doom leaves empty-handed while Min-Jae flees. Taegukgi's relationship with his teammates becomes strained due to him not disclosing his past to them, but they forgive him when he opens up about his ajumma.[2]
Taegukgi travels to Santa Cruz, California, when the ghost of Wrenley Fischer, a telepathic serial killer who once terrorized Seoul until his death twenty years ago, resurfaces and begins killing again. With the help of Ghost Rider, Taekguki is able to exorcise Fischer's spirit.[4]
Powers and abilities
Due to exposure from the mystical Psylot Gem, Taegukgi possesses superhuman strength, durability, speed and stamina, flight, and the ability to shoot energy beams from his eyes.[3][1][5] Taegukgi's strength and powers are noted to be on par with Hyperion, Blue Marvel, and the Sentry.[1] Taegukgi also possesses superhuman longevity, as he still retains the health, appearance, and vitality of a young man in his prime well into the 21st century despite being born during the Korean War.[5] Taegukgi is fluent in both his native Korean and English.[4] Despite his strength and invulnerability, Taegukgi is highly susceptible to psionic abilities, including mind control, body possession, and psychic attacks.[1][4]

Tai is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Tai was like a mentor for the New Warriors in the first 25 issues of their first series.
Fictional character biography
Tai is an elderly Cambodian mystic who was indirectly responsible for the formation of the New Warriors. She was born into a cult called the Dragon's Breath. Her people derive mystical energy from a well inside their temple that was a nexus into various alternate dimensions. The temple is constructed around the nexus point where vast amounts of mystic energy are constantly released. Throughout the centuries, Tai's people absorb the energy from the well. In a plan called 'The Pact', they devise a detailed program of interbreeding, the goal of which is to enable each successive generation to tap more energy from the well than its previous generation; eventually, one generation would use that power to rule the world. Tai's generation is actually able to harness the energies of the well, and is led to believe that they are the ones to rule the world. Tai refuses to share powers and slays everyone in the cult, except six maiden brides and a series of temple guards.[9]
During the
Chord, thinking his family is dead, becomes a mercenary and travels the world. Eventually, he arrives in Cambodia and renews his association with his mother-in-law. Together they return to America. Tai worries her son-in-law fears his place in the pact is moot now that his son is dead. Tai urges Chord to resume his friendship with army buddy Daryl Taylor (the one who rejected the pact). Chord does so and becomes godfather to Daryl and his six-year-old son Dwayne. Tai then demands Chord kill Daryl and his wife Melody; Chord does so, unwillingly, in front of Dwayne. Dwayne is then introduced to Tai and his memory is wiped.[11] Chord and Tai raise Dwayne and train him to be a crime fighter. They also manage Daryl's charitable organization, the Taylor Foundation, often using it to finance questionable activities around the world. Dwayne becomes Night Thrasher and is briefly part of a team with Tai's grandchildren Midnight's Fire and Silhouette. At the time, the three are unaware of the relevant biological relationship. Later, Night Thrasher finds the New Warriors. Tai influences the group from behind the scenes. In "New Warriors" #8, she bets the safety and security of the Warriors on a conflict with Emma Frost. Frost commands her own team of super-powered teens to bring back one of the Warriors, who used to be her student; however, Frost's team is defeated.[12]

Thorn (Salvatore "Sal" Carbone) is a fictional Marvel Comics character, primarily an enemy of the Punisher, created by writer Chuck Dixon and artist John Romita Jr. The character first appeared in The Punisher War Zone #1 (March 1992).
Fictional character biography
Wanting to eliminate the Carbones, a
Needing leverage to get Sal off of their backs, Mickey and the Punisher spy on him, and discover that he is consorting with rival Asian gangsters. Enraged by Sal's treachery, Julius orders Mickey and the Punisher to dispose of him, so the two drug Sal and drive him out to New Jersey. Due to his frequent narcotics usage, Sal is able to resist the drugs he was given and tries to flee, but falls through the ice on a frozen lake. Believing Sal to be dead, Mickey and the Punisher leave.[63]
Sal survives, and regains consciousness in a hospital, which he escapes from.[64] Recalling nothing about his past other than vague details about the people who tried to kill him, Sal robs and murders a man, and begins making his way to La Isla de Tiburones Durmientes, where Julius' daughter is about to marry a Sicilian mobster. When a motorist he flags down asked for his name, Sal, unable to remember, replies by saying "Thorn", a word he glimpsed on a billboard.[65]
After swimming to La Isla de Tiburones Durmientes, Thorn runs amok, killing his niece's fiancé and Julius, among others. The Punisher stops Thorn's rampage by shooting him repeatedly and knocking him into the ocean.[66][67] Thorn recovers, and later murders a trio of drug dealers for their car, which he drives to New York. Thorn finds and attacks Mickey and the Punisher, but the fight is interrupted by the boss of the dealers Thorn killed. After massacring the head dealer and his underlings, Thorn and the Punisher continue their brawl, which ends when the Punisher throws Thorn off of a bridge and onto a moving truck. The truck brings Thorn to New Jersey, and he is last seen wandering Newark.[68]
Powers and abilities
For unexplained reasons, nearly dying in a frigid lake left Thorn unable to feel pain, allowing him to sustain severe injuries (such as multiple gunshots) without being deterred. Thorn's brush with death also eliminated his need for basic human necessities such as food, water, air, and protection from the elements, and made him repellent towards animals such as sharks.
Reception
In a 2009 interview with Comic Book Resources, illustrator Dale Eaglesham expressed fondness for the character, stating "I spent some time in the Punisher department from 93 to 95 and I really enjoyed working with Frank Castle. However, there's another Punisher-related character that I feel I have unfinished business with: Sal Carbone, the man they call Thorn. He went toe-to-toe with Castle and survived because he thinks he's already dead. He's insane, and he would actually make a great Punisher! Maybe I can talk Ed Brubaker into that one; I think he would love it."[69]
Thorn ranked #4 on The Robot's Voice list "The 8 Worst Punisher Villains Ever".[70]

Titannus is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Fictional character biography
Originally, Titannus was a Skrull who, lacking shape-shifting abilities, became one of the subjects of the Super-Skrull project, giving him enhanced strength and a healing factor that would allow him to recover from any wound. Leaving his world, he eventually arrives on the planet Trellion, whose inhabitants brainwash him to act as their agent. Believing that he was fleeing an oppressive ruler, he escapes with the woman he loves (against her will) and travels to Earth, seeking the aid of heroes to revolt against Trellion.[133] After his spacecraft crash lands in Japan, Titannus observes the heroes of Earth for several months and attempts to "gain their attention" by destroying Tokyo, defeating the premier superhero of Japan (Sunfire) and killing countless soldiers of the Japanese army.[134]
Sensing the disturbance, Doctor Strange assembles a new team of Defenders to oppose the alien, consisting of Spider-Man, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Nova, and Hulk. The team meets Wolverine in Tokyo, where he is already attempting to fight Titannus. Titannus attempts to befriend them by recounting his brainwashed story, claiming that he had merely lost his temper when attacked by Sunfire, but Doctor Strange senses little truth in Titannus' words. Ultimately, the superheroes are unable to stop Titannus, who defeats the Hulk by absorbing his empowering gamma radiation, as well as breaks She-Hulk's left arm. When Titannus' beloved is woken up by Strange and Nova, the truth is revealed and Titannus, having been so dependent on his love for her, is driven to suicide by her rejection—apparently killing himself by crushing his own head. Spider-Man later speculates that she was angry at the failure of her peoples' plan to attack Earth's heroes.[135]
However, Titannus' healing factor is so advanced that it allowed him to grow a new head, albeit giving him amnesia. Later, insane scientists from Tokyo take control of Titannus and order him to attack the United States, believing that Titannus had been part of a US attempt to conquer Japan. Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Ms Marvel, She-Hulk, Wolverine, Luke Cage, and Captain America assemble and defeat Titannus, who is taken in by S.H.I.E.L.D., thanks to the new arrival of Crusader, who distracts him by creating an illusionary reality where he killed all of his opponents. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange finds the people controlling him, and modify their technology to keep Titannus dormant.[136]

Judas Traveller
Dr. Judas Traveller is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in Web of Spider-Man #117 (October 1994).[165] He was created by writer Terry Kavanagh and artist Steven Butler. Judas Traveller was introduced in the infamous "Clone Saga".[166] The character's agenda is to analyze the true nature of evil. Taking interest in Spider-Man and his clone, Traveller with his ally Scrier and his Host (a group of 4 of his students) pit Spider-Man both teaming and against his clone in a test of motivation. He was described by Spider-Man writer Glenn Greenberg as a deus ex machina character with ill-defined powers: "no one – not the writers, not the editors – seemed to know who or what the heck Judas Traveller was. He was seemingly this immensely powerful, quasi-mystical being with amazing abilities, but what was the real deal with him? ... But to be honest, a character like Traveller didn't really fit into Spider-Man's world."[167] As such, Traveller's role would remain a mystery to readers for a while, as writers dropped him in and out of this saga.[168] It was eventually revealed that everything Traveller knew about himself is a lie. In reality, he is a criminal psychologist who suffered a mental breakdown, awakening his dormant mutant powers to alter perception. With these abilities, he often appears far more powerful than he really is. This is the truth that Chakra told Ben Reilly. During this story, Judas is betrayed by the Scrier, and rescued by Ben Reilly and his own love interest, Chakra. He is a pawn of Norman Osborn against Spider-Man, and is eventually betrayed by Osborn.[169][170]
Traveller is a creature who has walked the planet for ages, seeking the true meaning of evil and how it manifests within humans. His memories are filled with past events which he witnessed and studied to understand the human soul. He eventually set his sights on studying Spider-Man, as he could not yet comprehend if Spider-Man was the cause of evil re-presenting itself in his enemies or a beacon of good that would stand against evil.[volume & issue needed]
After an invitation by
Traveller appears during the Clone Saga, infatuated with understanding every minute detail of Peter Parker's life. He is seen with a "Host": four people who are supposed to aid him in his journey of study (Medea, Mister Nacht, Boone, and Chakra), and Scrier (an enigmatic being who is seen as Traveller's confidante and has been with him through the ages). During this time, Parker's life is in disarray due to the passing of Aunt May, the charges of murder levied against him, and the potentially problematic pregnancy of his wife Mary Jane. Traveller struggles to understand what drives Parker to continue on this path of seeking justice when most humans would have broken under the stress. He approaches a stressed Mary Jane in an attempt to search her soul for answers, but Ben Reilly relentlessly fights past all of Traveller's obstacles to keep him out of her life. Seeing Reilly's resolve, Traveller agrees to leave her alone, but he also mentions that he has just as much interest in Reilly and would seek him out eventually.[volume & issue needed]
While Parker is imprisoned for crimes, Traveller sends Chakra to inform him that Mary Jane is being stalked by Kaine. He watches to see what Parker will choose to do, and eventually aids him by casting an illusion of him in his cell, allowing Parker to escape from prison. While Traveller admits to Scrier that both Parker and Reilly fascinate him, he assures him that not even Scrier is able to understand why.[172]
After Parker and Reilly switch places in prison and Parker dons the Scarlet Spider costume, Traveller follows him around the city and eventually confronts him, places Mary Jane unconscious, and gives Parker a choice to make his life better. He shows Peter the image of Aunt May in a crystal ball and suggests that he could bring her back to life and give Parker a world where he no longer has to worry about the clones or the charges now against Reilly. Parker refuses and fights back Traveller, claiming that everything is taking place in his mind, Traveller is not God and doesn't have the power to restore lives. Traveller responds by showing Parker a world twenty-four hours in the future, a destroyed city supposedly the result of Parker's actions. He claims that Parker can still stop this world from coming to pass if he can stop his Host from going through with their plans. As part of this test, Traveller agrees to use his powers to protect Mary Jane so, no matter what happens, she and the unborn child would be safe.[173]
Parker goes after the Host and manages to stop them from going through with their plan, but another anomaly arises from the point of origin where Traveller used his powers to show Parker the future. His misuse of that power causes a rift in the space-time continuum that attempts to correct itself through Traveller who can no longer control his powers. While Scrier refuses to help, Parker decides to pull Traveller from the rift before he causes the destroyed future he had witnessed only minutes earlier. Upon saving him, Scrier gathers an unconscious Traveller and leaves after telling Parker that Traveller would not be satisfied with the turn of events.[174]
While Parker (back in his original Spider-Man garb) fights Kaine in an attempt to clear his name, Traveller interrupts their fight. He teleports them to a sub-basement beneath Ravencroft and forces both of them into a "trial" where Spider-Man is charged for his entire life as a superhero, questioning that if Spider-Man no longer existed, his superpowered enemies would have no reason to exist.[175]
He chooses Carnage to be the prosecuting attorney (which allows him to have knowledge of Spider-Man's true identity), Kaine the defense attorney, and a number of Ravencroft inmates to be the jury. Kaine attacks Traveller and attempts to leave his "mark" on his face, but Traveller is unaffected and displays his power by holding Kaine in the palm of his hand. He lets the brief trial unfold the only way that it could, with all supervillains wanting Spider-Man dead. Traveller binds Spider-Man and allows the supervillains, led by Carnage, to carry out Spider-Man's death sentence. Kaine, however, jumps into the fray, determined to protect Spider-Man's life at any cost. Before Kaine could be killed by the mob, Traveller disperses the entire group and returns them to their cells as he had gotten the answer he wanted. The entire ordeal had only been to see how Spider-Man's actions (or lack thereof in this case) could motivate the actions of someone as corrupt as Kaine. As a result, he returns Spider-Man and Kaine to their previous place of battle, saying that his current investigation had been concluded for the time being. As his last act of ending the trial, he removed Spider-Man's secret identity from the minds of Carnage and all those who were previously aware.[176]
The mystery of Judas Traveller eventually reaches a conclusion just before the final arc of the Clone Saga. Judas's followers, the Host, betray him and lock him up inside a coffin in a pool. Chakra, the only one loyal to her master, joins forces with Ben Reilly and Peter Parker as they face a horde of Scriers and foil a possible alliance with New York crime boss the Rose and his personal assistant/assassin Delilah. After rescuing Judas, he and Chakra depart to regions unknown, but not before the man gives both Spider-Men a warning.[177]
Judas Traveller later became the head of the Culture and Narrative department of
