Dark Beast
Dark Beast aka Black Beast is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. As an alternate reality version of Beast, he first appeared in issue #1 of X-Men: Alpha in 1995 and was created by Scott Lobdell and Roger Cruz.
In the "Age of Apocalypse" reality, Hank McCoy was a mad scientist and geneticist working for Mister Sinister in his breeding pens, intent on breeding more powerful mutants according to Apocalypse's "survival of the fittest" ideology. Because of Charles Xavier's death and without being taught ethical science while in the X-Men, McCoy became someone ruthless and evil. While Sinister was methodical and rational in his experiments, McCoy found sadistic delight in causing pain to his lab subjects. It was the cruelty of his experiments that caused him to be nicknamed "the Beast", both by prisoners and Sinister's Elite Mutant Force. McCoy also experimented on himself in order to further his mutation, and gained his ape-like bestial appearance. Any mutant that he deemed unworthy was turned into a component of a genetic stew that was used to create Apocalypse's army of Infinites.
Besides being one of the creators of the Infinites, the Dark Beast also experimented on
With the end of the Age of Apocalypse, the Dark Beast was able to escape into
The Dark Beast later kidnapped the real Beast and kept him a prisoner behind a brick wall. He infiltrated the X-Men in his place by altering his appearance to match the real McCoy's fur color, although he occasionally found himself at risk of discovery due to Hank possessing a broader range of knowledge than himself, requiring him to bluff his way through some of the questions he was asked.[27] He helped keep up the ruse by slaying many of Hank's childhood friends and teachers, although he found himself unable to kill Hank's parents. Angered at this emotional weakness, he decapitated a pedestrian as he left town. The Dark Beast was able to keep up his ruse until the Onslaught Saga, during which the Dark Beast joined Onslaught. Onslaught had, in fact, known from the beginning of Dark Beast's ruse and mentally shielded him from other telepaths at the mansion, intending to question him about the reality of his origin. However, upon learning what happened in Dark Beast's reality when mutants ruled, Onslaught decided to destroy both races rather than helping mutants take their place as the world's rulers, only just being defeated thanks to the sacrifice of the Avengers and Fantastic Four.
He also had a few run-ins with
Right before House of M, the Dark Beast was in Genosha where he joined Xavier's team after being offered parole. It was confirmed in The 198 Files one-shot that he stayed powered after M-Day.
Dark Beast returns and finally confronts his counterpart in the Endangered Species storyline, where he ambushes him in Neverland, the extermination camp ran by Weapon X, to offer his services regarding finding a cure for M-Day. The two form an uneasy alliance to tackle the impending mutant extinction, but part ways due to their drastically different moral approaches to science.[31] During a trip to the Guthrie household aimed at requesting samples of DNA from the mother and father of several mutant, and non-mutant, children – the Dark Beast (without warning Henry) poisons one of the un-mutated Guthrie boys, Lewis, in a quick scientific experiment. He then carries the dying boy's body back to the house, suggesting that they should try one of the girls next. Shocked and enraged with his actions, Hank attacks the Dark Beast who, disgusted with Henry's inability to do all that is necessary to save their mutant species, beats him almost unconscious. The fight is interrupted by Mrs. Guthrie, who fires a round from a double-barrelled shotgun into Dark Beast's left shoulder. After scolding Mrs. Guthrie for thinking a round of birdshot would put him down, the Dark Beast is knocked unconscious by Henry.
During the "Dark Reign" story-line, Dark Beast later appears as a member of the Dark X-Men (a team of X-Men put together by Norman Osborn). He serves as the team's scientist.[32] He constructs a device known as the "Omega Machine" to experiment on mutants in Alcatraz for H.A.M.M.E.R. and starts testing on Beast, causing him great pain and torment as it begins slowly eating him away. Osborn is not impressed with the test results of the Omega Machine and wants Dark Beast to make sure the machine works in removing powers from mutants, not killing them. Dark Beast continues to experiment with his Omega Machine, using Beast as his key test subject. Each use of the device causes Beast to look more decrepit and weak. Deciding to use a new subject to test the device on, Dark Beast goes to collect the newly captured Mindee of the Stepford Cuckoos.[33] When he reaches the holding cell however, he discovers that Mindee's capture was done to allow X-Force to follow.[34] Dark Beast is then attacked and stabbed multiple times by both Wolverine and Warpath.[35]
Dark Beast recovered quickly from his injuries suffered by the hands of Wolverine and Warpath as he was sent by Norman Osborn as well as Mimic, Weapon Omega and Mystique under Jean Grey's form, to investigate the cause of several inhabitants of a small town to dream-walk and continuously repeat "I'm an X-Man". As they investigate, both Mimic and Omega are overwhelmed by some kind of energies and go on a rampage, leaving Mystique and Dark Beast alone with a patient that they were examining. Shortly thereafter the energies takes a humanoid form, and Nate Grey, best known as X-Man, once more takes physical form, much to Dark Beast's shock and horror.[36]
Dark Beast has since returned to the Morlock's Tunnels after the fall of Norman Osborn. He was able to capture the Lizard and began developing a means of enhancing the Lizard's control of the reptilian parts of the human brain in order to turn human beings into humanoid lizards. Dark Beast had been abducting victims of bullying or abuse from the streets, until the X-Men and Spider-Man found his base. Dark Beast locks Spider-Man out of the room and triggers the mutation in Gambit, Storm, Emma Frost and Wolverine, although Emma comes through the 'attack' unharmed as she is in her diamond form,[37] giving her and Spider-Man time to escape Dark Beast's minions and release the Lizard to knock him out. Later the X-Men and Spider-Man reverse the process and take Dark Beast into custody.[38]
While being transported, Dark Beast is approached by the Uncanny X-Force team, who wanted McCoy's help to find a cure for Archangel. As Warren succumbs to the darkness within him, Dark Beast confronted the team with the revelation that the only place left to turn for a cure is the Age of Apocalypse reality.[39]
They arrived ten years after the X-Men had defeated
Following the events of the Dark Angel Saga, Dark Beast has assumed command over the Clan Akkaba of Earth 616 and relocated off world alongside Ozymandias, Famine, War, a pregnant Pestilence, and a badly injured Earth 295 Blob. It also appears he retrieved Sugar Man from Steve Rogers' custody, and together they have rebuilt the dimensional portal technology and returned to the Age of Apocalypse, where the two are using the energies of the life seed to aid Weapon Omega to resurrect a number of fallen mutants in order to provide Weapon Omega an army of powerful mutants.[41]
At an undisclosed time, Dark Beast leaves the Age of Apocalypse and returns to Earth-616 Universe. He is soon approached by the AoA version of Nightcrawler, who wants to return to their home dimension.[42] Using the Celestial Dreamer, Dark Beast once again opens a dimensional portal and returns to the Age of Apocalypse along with Nightcrawler. There, he discovers Weapon Omega's defeat at the hands of the human coalition and the capture of the Apocalypse seed. However, returning to the Age of Apocalypse with the X-Men and X-Treme X-Men in tow resulted in the release of evil beings known as the Exterminator which were trapped in the walls between realities by their creators, the Celestials, and destroy anyone they touch.[43]
In order to defeat these cosmic beings, the X-Men and X-Treme X-men decided to imprisoned them within that reality forever, otherwise, the Exterminators would destroy the whole multiverse.[44] AoA Nightcrawler teleports them to Earth-616 one at a time and Dark Beast goes with them. Dark Beast arrives on Earth-616 but is knocked out by Gambit. After the Age of Apocalypse reality is closed forever with AoA Nightcrawler's sacrifice, Dark Beast is taken away by the authorities.[45]
Dark Beast was soon able to escape from the authorities and was revealed to be the mastermind behind the events that lead the Uncanny X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. to war. He started hunting the X-Men affiliated with Cyclops by hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D. using classified research sources to upgrade his work and find the X-Men. He was the one to infect Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magik, Magneto and Colossus with nano-sentinels, which is the reason for their broken powers after the incident with the Phoenix Force. Beast finally launches a coordinated attack using a hijacked S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier to launch a nuclear strike, and new indestructible sentinels that have adapted to all the X-Men's powers. The only thing he didn't account for was the new X-Man David Bond, aka Hijack, who can control any electronic device. Dark Beast's body has been so weak after experimenting on himself, that he needed a life support suit, so after a short battle his suit was eventually punctured, and he set a bomb that caused his apparent death.[46]
During the "Last Days" part of the "Secret Wars" story-line, it was mentioned months ago that Dark Beast was among the scientists that Magneto's right-hand person Briar tried to contact in order to make a special cocktail to augment Magneto's powers for the upcoming incursion between Earth-616 and Earth-1610. This occurred sometime before he began suffering from his own genetic experiments.[47]
During the "Secret Empire" storyline, Dark Beast turns up alive and no longer having health problems. He is shown to have set up a laboratory under an outhouse somewhere in the mutant nation of New Tian following Hydra's takeover. He used this lab to experiment on Inhumans. While searching for an Inhuman named Leer, Quake and the Secret Warriors found Dark Beast's hidden lair. Quake confronted Dark Beast on the whereabouts of Leer, but Dark Beast claimed that he didn't know who Leer was. He continued to profess his ignorance even when tortured by Quake and Karnak. Then a team of New Tian mutants entered the laboratory to remove the Inhumans for intruding into New Tian, and Dark Beast was taken into the mutants' custody.[48]
Dark Beast's apparent resurrection was later revealed to be Mister Sinister's doing, who saw fit to save Dark Beast's head and attached it to a brand-new body that appeared to be Dark Beast's old self, but with some technological improvements like cannons in his arms and the ability to alter his body at will. He was eventually defeated and held prisoner at Harry's basement.[49]
Faced with a lack of resources, Cyclops agrees to let Dark Beast work on an "anti-vaccine" to neutralize Callahan's current mutant 'vaccine', with Warlock monitoring the process of creating the cure to ensure that it does only what Dark Beast says, Dark Beast defining it as a simple airborne virus that will feed the mutant vaccine's virus before it can smother the X-Gene, leaving them free to activate. However, after the anti-vaccine has been dispersed worldwide, it is revealed that Dark Beast, with some help from Mister Sinister, had in fact 'tricked' the X-Men as the serum indeed shuts the virus of the mutant vaccine's and is harmless to those who already had their X-Gene activated, but in the presence of a still inactive X-Gene, it works as a catalyst, becoming lethal for potential mutant children. Dark Beast reasoning that this will 'test' humanity's hatred of mutants by putting them in a position where they will risk their children dying to prevent them becoming mutants. As Dark Beast continues mocking them, Magik executes him with her teleportation discs to send part of Dark Beast into the ceiling, killing him.[50]
During the "Sins of Sinister" storyline, it is revealed that Dark Beast's head was retrieved and secretly kept alive and preserved in a tube by Mister Sinister which he uses for advice. When Dark Beast asks for Mister Sinister to let him out, Mister Sinister informs him that he's not the "darkest beast" anymore.[51]

Demon Bear
The Demon Bear is a character appearing in New Mutants and X-Force connected to Danielle Moonstar and the formation of the New Mutants. Its powers include teleportation, super strength, shapeshifting, negative emotion empowerment, and corruption of human souls.
As a child, Danielle Moonstar unintentionally used her emergent psychic powers to foresee the deaths of her parents, William and Peg Moonstar, in a vision that showed them being slain by a bear. When the couple disappeared on a hunting trip a week later, Dani believed her vision had come true.[93] It was later revealed, however, that Dani's vision had been metaphorical; in truth, her parents had been captured and transformed into a demonic bear spirit.[94] The identity of the being responsible for this transformation was never revealed in story, but the letters page of The New Mutants #24 would state that it was the ancient mystical entity the Adversary.[95]
In the early days of her time as a member of the New Mutants, as depicted in The New Mutants #3, Dani experienced a vision of the Demon Bear. Initially, she believed it was simply a nightmare, born of the childhood fear that the bear which had killed her parents would one day come to kill her too, but when she attacked the bear with her hunting knife, she drew blood and realized that the bear was both real, and no mere animal.[96] Increasingly troubled by her dreams of the Demon Bear, Danielle Moonstar ran various Danger Room scenarios against bears and then confronted the demon alone; it mauled her and severely damaged her spine.[97] The New Mutants rushed her to the Mid-County Medical Center. The Demon Bear infiltrated the hospital, transported the team to the Badlands, and turned nurse Sharon Friedlander and officer Tom Corsi into demonic Native American warriors under his control. They later reverted to normal humans but still kept the appearance of Native Americans. Here, the New Mutants fought and defeated the Demon Bear, disrupting it with Magik's Soulsword. Danielle's parents leaped from its body, returning them to normal.[98]
X-Force member Warpath encountered a Demon Bear of his own while on his way to visit his brother Thunderbird's grave and would have been killed were it not for the intervention of Ghost Rider who offered his assistance against the demon. Defeating this bear, they discovered it was the corrupted form of the Apaches' animal spirits, who had been driven mad by Eli Bard, who used a dagger full of black magic to do so.[99]
The Demon Bear later appears in possession of Bishop, before being driven out by Psylocke.[100] Once Bishop is freed, Psylocke takes on the now docile bear as a companion.[101]
Demon Bear in other media
Demon Bear appears in The New Mutants.[102] This version was manifested by Danielle Moonstar after her mutant powers first activated and subsequently destroyed the reservation that she lived on. In the present, Moonstar summons the Demon Bear again after Cecilia Reyes attempts to kill her. Subsequently, she battles the bear in her mind and dissipates it after confronting her past.

Sterling finds himself trapped between two dimensions, able to return to Earth at will but only for a few hours at a time; furthermore, the mutation causes his skin to become chalk-white. He steals a pair of gloves from A.I.M. that give him a death-grip, and begins calling himself Death-Stalker.[110] He tries several times to kill Daredevil and build a new t-ray machine, but most of his battles with Daredevil end in a draw.

Sterling resumes the Death-Stalker identity and assembles a large gathering of criminals to take part in an undisclosed theft, presumably of t-ray components.

Seeing no point in battling Daredevil at this time, he teleports away.
Death-Stalker attempts to kill Daredevil while the crime-fighter is hospitalized, but is stopped by the Avengers.[117] He creates a new Unholy Three and has them kidnap Matt Murdock, whose secret identity as Daredevil he learned by observation from between dimensions. Daredevil is taken to St. Stephens Cemetery, where Death-Stalker kills two of the Unholy Three and attacks Daredevil. Unable to overcome Death-Stalker's superior abilities, Daredevil knocks out the nearby street light, thus enclosing the cemetery in darkness. Fighting blindly, Death-Stalker rematerializes while his body is phasing through a tombstone, which kills him instantly.[118]
Death-Stalker is, for a brief time, survived by his mother, Elizabeth Dawes Sterling. Lying on her deathbed, and in her hatred for Daredevil for the death of her son, she has her house converted into a deathtrap and builds child-like androids fitted with self-destruct devices constructed to lure him to his demise. Daredevil just barely manages to escape her deadly revenge, and she dies before Daredevil can be lured into the trap.[119]

Powers and abilities of Death-Stalker
Accidental exposure to an overdose of "t-radiation" alters Sterling's physiology, making it so that he normally exists in a dimension congruent to Earth. While in this realm, he can watch and listen to events on Earth without being observed from Earth by any means. By willing himself to do so, he can shift into Earth's dimension to varying degrees. He can become visible but intangible, or visible and tangible as he desires. He can shift from one state to the other instantaneously. While completely in his interdimensional state, he can cover distances more rapidly, enabling him to disappear from one Earth location and reappear at another far sooner than if he had traversed that same distance on Earth. Death-Stalker cannot continuously manifest in Earth's dimension for more than several hours at a time.
His "cybernetic death-grip" devices, stolen from A.I.M., are worn in his gloves, which emit a dose of microwave radiation when activated by mental command, crippling or killing (depending on the duration of contact) any living creature who comes into contact with them. This self-described "touch of death" energy has been described as microwaves, but seems to have properties of both lightning and intense cold. However, Death-Stalker has to fully materialize on Earth for the device to be effective – his "lone weakness",[111] which Daredevil learns he can exploit to attack Sterling. On several occasions Death-Stalker also appears to possess superhuman strength, although its extent is unknown and it is unclear whether it is a physical ability (via his radiation mutated form) or via his cybernetic death-grip devices. Philip Wallace Sterling is a brilliant criminal mastermind – running a global "espionage syndicate"[111] – in addition to being an accomplished inventor and scientist with extensive knowledge of advanced scientific apparatus.

Publisher | Marvel Comics |
First appearance | Amazing Fantasy vol. 2 #16 (December 2005) |
Created by | Simon Furman James Raiz |
Publication History
The third version of Death's Head was introduced in 2005, the result of an online poll on the Marvel Comics website.
Death's Head creator Simon Furman stated that he contacted Marvel as soon as he became aware of the poll.[122] Amazing Fantasy vol. 2 editor Mark Paniccia had already intended to contact Furman to ask him some questions about the character,[121] and their conversation also led to Furman writing the initial Death's Head 3.0 story. The character's look was that of one of the Reaver cyborgs from the Incredible Hulk storyline Planet Hulk.[123]
The initial Death's Head 3.0 story also included a number of elements that tied it into previous Amazing Fantasy vol. 2 stories. Death's Head's sentience and power source come from A.I.M.'s attempts to first capture and then replicate the power that created Captain Universe. Issue #16 reveals the scientist that began the project was Monica Rappaccini, the mother of the new Scorpion, on the back of her attempts to capture the Uni-Power in other titles. Varina Goddard is revealed via A.I.M. records to be Monica's granddaughter.[124] Furman says he has "mixed feelings" about the story, as he likes it but feels that this is not Death's Head: "I always thought it strange that poll was to bring back one character and what readers got was another entirely... I'd have much rather done the original."[123]
While the Minion project is mentioned as the reason for Death's Head being given his name, no other ties to the previous Death's Heads were included. However, Simon Furman has stated that he would "work in a little retroactive back story to create a kind of unified Death's Head-verse" if the character was revived in the future at some point[122] and it has come out that he had originally intended to imply Death's Head 3.0 was the original, in an early form,[125] which the warlock Lupex would abduct and turn into Death's Head's body. Marvel rejected the idea, however.[123] In Nova #17, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning did their own version, depicting the Minion project as being originally based on a Death's Head "3.0" cyborg.[126]
Biography
The third version of Death's Head debuted in a five-part storyline within the pages of Marvel's anthology series Amazing Fantasy vol. 2, beginning in #16 (Dec 2005). Written by Death's Head creator Simon Furman and drawn by James Raiz, the story is set 100 years in the future and does not appear to be directly linked to the previous Death's Head stories.
A.I.M. are set to make peace with the UN and become a legitimate non-terrorist organisation. Hardliner A.I.M. Senior Scientist Patricia Goddard has decided to stop the peace treaty and force A.I.M. back underground by assassinating the UN Secretary-General, using a mysterious alien cyborg in A.I.M.'s possession code-named Death's Head. Powered and given intelligence by an artificial variant of the Uni-Power, the cyborg is sent out into the field with preprogrammed objectives, but the clash between its murderous inclinations and an instinctive desire to help people leave it unsure on which side it wants to be.
The final panel of the Death's Head 3.0 story concludes with an image of the cyborg with mouth horns, alluding to the original Death's Head.[127] Comic artist Simon Williams has said that Furman was going to end the story by having the character say "I'm Death's Head, yes?", to establish that Death's Head 3.0 was an early version of the original, but the "yes?" was cut off by the editor by mistake.[125]
Mechanoids with the same design as this incarnation of Death's Head went on to appear on Sakaar, during the Planet Hulk series,[128] and are used by the Hulk as soldiers during the World War Hulk event.[129] One is used as an A.I.M. courier by Monica Rappaccini in the five-issue miniseries Super-Villain Team-Up: MODOK's 11.[130] It is shown during Nova's Secret Invasion issues that the Hulk's Death's Head units have been handed over to Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. for study by a Dr. Necker under her "Minion" Project. After Norman Osborn's H.A.M.M.E.R. forces come in to shut the facility down, it is revealed that Dr. Necker is an A.I.M. double agent, explaining how Death's Head was in A.I.M. possession during the Death's Head 3.0 miniseries.
More recently, during the Enigma Force tie-in miniseries of the Incredible Hulks: Dark Son story arc, it is revealed that this model of Death's Head was built in the Microverse during a war with K'ai thousands of years ago. Sometime after the war, some of the warships they were aboard were sucked through the Great Portal of Sakaar, which is said to breach time and space.
Death's-Head
Dr. Paxton Page is a character who is a scientist who perfects the cobalt bomb. He later goes mad and fakes his own kidnapping and death so that he can assume the guise of the supervillain Death's-Head. He dresses in a glowing radioactive costume, riding a horse whose flesh is made transparent, and wields fireballs and scimitars of radioactive cobalt. Page's daughter Karen returns to her parents' home to investigate her father's disappearance, and Daredevil follows her. In the ensuing battle between Daredevil and Death's-Head, Death's-Head spills a vat of molten cobalt over Daredevil, but realizes that Karen is endangered. This brings him back to his senses, and he pushes Daredevil and Karen to safety. He appears to die in this act of self-sacrifice when he is covered in the molten cobalt.[131]

Johnny Dee (John D.) is a fictional mutant character who debuts in Son of M #1 (2005). Johnny has an octopus-like creature that protrudes from his chest with several tentacles. The creature has a brain of its own but cannot speak (although, it is suggested in The 198 that the latter could be false[volume & issue needed]), and can produce a voodoo doll of a person after Johnny puts a sample of their DNA (like a strand of hair) in its mouth. The creature spits out a clamshell that contains a tiny naked replica of the person, giving him the ability to control the person entirely. Johnny and the creature share the same nervous system, but Johnny cannot feel the creature's pain. This is evidenced in Son of M #1 when one of the creature's tentacles is slashed, leaving them both on the verge of death, but Johnny is oblivious to the actual extent of the injury.
Fictional character biography
Johnny is one of the few mutants who keeps his powers after Scarlet Witch's alteration of the world to remove the powers of the world's mutants. Living in Mutant Town, Johnny is about to be killed by mutant-hating thugs.[132] After being rescued by Spider-Man, Johnny agrees to move to the Xavier Institute for his own safety.

Father Francis Xavier Delgado is a fictional priest in Marvel Comics. The character, created by Bill Mantlo and Rick Leonardi, first appeared in Cloak and Dagger #1 (October 1983).
Father Delgado preaches at the Holy Ghost Church, which is located in the slums of
While thankful for being rescued, Delgado still fears that Cloak and Dagger's souls were corrupted by demons. Both the congregation and Daimon Hellstrom refuse to perform an exorcism for him, so he attempts to do so himself. He is stopped by Mayhem who ridicules him for his selfishness. Ashamed, Delgado prays.[142] When Dagger returns to the church, Delgado confronts Cloak and forces him to leave with holy water. His action inadvertently awakens the Predator, the demon responsible for Cloak's hunger, and resurrects the spirit of Jack the Ripper. When Dagger learns that Delgado turned Cloak away, she angrily leaves him. Delgado is later taken away to a psychiatric hospital by the congregation.[143] He is placed in a padded cell and tells Mayhem that he has lost his faith.[144] Dagger later visits Delgado and learns that he appears to be sane; however, it is quickly revealed that he is under the control of Mister Jip, who is keeping him alive and who he sees as his God. He is visited by Dagger's uncle, Michael Bowen, who has replaced Delgado at the Holy Ghost Church. As the two pray together, Delgado secretly prays to Mister Jip and plots to kill Dagger, who he views as a temptress.[145]
He soon leaves the hospital and tells Cloak that he is feeling better now, but in actuality he is working close with Mister Jip and his assistant Night.

Diatrice Alraune is a fictional character appearing in Marvel Comics. She is the daughter of Marc Spector and Marlene Alraune, and first appeared in Moon Knight #190 (December, 2017), by Max Bemis and Jacen Burrows.
After Marlene Alraune leaves her husband Eric Fontaine, she returns to Marc Spector, who once again operates as Moon Knight out of his Long Island mansion.[158] They stay together for a while, but soon agree to live separate lives, since Marc's lifestyle constantly endangers Marlene's life. Sometime later, Marc reappears to Marlene, this time in his Jake Lockley persona, and the two become romantically involved again, having conceived a daughter during this time. During her childhood, Marlene lets her daughter change her name to whatever she likes, so she chooses Diatrice. This is all hidden from Marc's other personalities, until Sun King and Bushman come to Marlene's house and discover the truth, using this secret to manipulate Marc.[159]
When Marc confronts Sun King and Bushman in Marlene's house, a fight breaks out. The villains escape while Marc is distracted protecting Diatrice, taking Marlene with them. Marc takes Diatrice to his apartment and bonds with her, additionally revealing that he is her father, since she only knew him as "Uncle Jake". Marc then has his friend Frenchie keep an eye on Diatrice while he goes to rescue Marlene.[160] During his final battle against Sun King, Marc finds strength in his love for Diatrice to defeat the villain.[161]
Diatrice's life is again threatened by the Société des Sadiques, whose leader Ernst wants to indoctrinate Moon Knight, and threatens to have Diatrice killed if he doesn't do as asked.[162] After Moon Knight kills Ernst, he joins forces with the redeemed Sun King to attack the Société's base to take them down before they can hurt Diatrice. When he returns home briefly before going into battle, Diatrice hands him a drawing called "Diatrice and Daddy" depicting her as a grownup superhero called "Moon Girl" and older versions of her father and mother, impressing him. After her father finally defeats the Société and The Truth, Diatrice is reunited with him and her mother Marlene.[163]
Sometime later, Khonshu, the Egyptian moon god, senses Mephisto's plans for world domination, which leads Marc to leave his family and fight by his god's side to prevent that from happening. When Khonshu succumbs to madness, however, Marc has to turn against him and help the Avengers defeat him.[164] Following Khonshu's imprisonment, Marlene takes Diatrice overseas and tells Marc to leave them alone, claiming he is dangerous.[165]

Doctor Demonicus first appeared in Godzilla, King of the Monsters vol. 1 #4 (Nov 1977) and was created by Doug Moench and Tom Sutton.[170]
Fictional character biography of Doctor Demonicus
Douglas Birely was born in Culver City, California. As a scientist, he was studying the correlation between radioactivity and mutation when he was contaminated by a radioactive spill. As Doctor Demonicus, he is a criminal geneticist. His discovery of the Lifestone radioactive meteorite allows him to create immense kaiju-style monsters mutated from animals. These include Batragon, Ghilaron, Lepirax, and Centipor. Using his monsters and his Demon-Soldiers, he raids oil tankers from his secret laboratory located on one of the Aleutian Islands. The monsters are defeated by Godzilla and Demonicus is defeated by Gabe Jones and taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. When Jones confronts Demonicus, he is willing to tell Jones his background, and when referencing his monstrous creations says "Knowing of his nuclear radiation mutation, I took my cues from Godzilla himself". When Godzilla begins slaying the creatures he has made, Demonicus becomes unstable, even claiming he would battle Godzilla directly in order to save one of the creatures.[171]
Demonicus becomes an ally of the
He eventually captures, mentally controls, and further mutates Godzilla (however, the creature is deliberately not named as such, because Marvel's license to use the monster had, by that point, expired. To give readers a clue as to who the creature was, Demonicus refers to the creature as being both "the greatest living dinosaur" and "my once-greatest enemy", the latter referring to Godzilla's defeat of his original creations). The creature also, for unknown reasons, shrinks in size once Demonicus captures and enslaves him. He sets Godzilla against the West Coast Avengers, and also salvages Iron Man's original armor and uses it to attack the West Coast Avengers personally. He is defeated by Tony Stark,[173] and is later mutated by both the Lifestone and the demon Raksasa. His alter ego develops skin cancer, which is kept under control by devices in his costume.

Frank Drake is a former millionaire who had squandered his inheritance and had nothing more than an ancestral castle in Transylvania. Planning to sell it, he and his friends travel to the castle, and discover Dracula's skeleton. They accidentally resurrect him, and Drake narrowly escapes death. Drake eventually relocates to London.[230]

Quincy Harker eventually made the ultimate sacrifice by detonating a bomb concealed in his wheelchair which destroyed him, Dracula, and much of the castle in which they met for the last time. Drake and Van Helsing discovered Harker's wheelchair, and the supposed death of Dracula.[236] Quincy's final letter to Rachel and Frank urged the two of them to grow closer together and discover what they all knew was there all the time. As a result, Frank and Rachel attempted a romance but due to Frank's later account, Rachel was an empty shell without Dracula to fight. The two shortly parted but not without deep regrets. Rachel would eventually be turned into a vampire herself and died mercifully at the hands of X-Man Wolverine.[237]
After hearing of Dracula's return, Drake and teams up with Blade, Hannibal King, and Doctor Strange to defeat him. Drake, King, Blade and Strange battled Dracula and the Darkholders, and cast the Montesi Formula which destroyed Dracula and all vampires and banished vampirism from earth.[238] Drake, King, and Blade decided to remain together and become private investigators, founding the firm of King, Drake, and Blade. In their first appearance, Doctor Strange helped them battle the Darkholders.[239]
Drake, wishing for a more normal life, eventually left the firm. Apparently, the friendship between King, Drake, and Blade had soured. Drake moved to Washington, D.C., and married Marlene McKenna. During this time, Marlene seemed to come under the power of Dracula and scarred her face to resemble Rachel's facial scars. Drake, Blade and Katinka eventually aborted Dracula's resurrection again. This resulted in Blade's nervous breakdown and institutionalization.
With the weakening of the Montesi spell, Dr. Strange realized that not only were vampires returning, but also that there was an increased occurrence of supernatural invasions. On this realization, Strange arranged for the release of Blade and for Drake to meet him and King back at their old Borderline offices. Together, they formed the Nightstalkers; by day, they are private investigators, by night, they fight any number of supernatural villains.[

Odessa Drake is a supervillain and thief who first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man vol. 5 #8. She was created by Nick Spencer and Humberto Ramos.
Odessa Drake was raised in New York City by her father, Castillo, as a member of a secret society of criminals known as the Thieves' Guild. After her father's passing, Odessa continued his search for immortality, which she obtain via a deal with the Gilded Saint. She became leader of the Thieves' Guild, which she sought to return to glory by killing anyone on debt with the Guild and stealing gear from superheroes. Fellow Guild member Black Cat was worried over the consequences stealing from superheroes would have on the world, so she contacted Spider-Man and the two tried to give back the stolen items. Odessa and the Guild attempted to stop them by fording them into the magic-powered vault where they kept the stolen items, but had to retreat when Spider-Man used Ms. Marvel's phone to contact reinforcements. Odessa was nevertheless pleased that the Guild has risen in infamy through their actions.
In the aftermath of the King in Black storyline, Black Cat revealed to Drake that her father Black Fox has stolen the Thieves' Guild's immortality by surrendering New York's deed to the Saint. Under the agreement of getting rid of the Black Fox, Odessa agreed to help Black Cat, and the two traveled to the Saint's world, where they convinced the Saint that Black Fox was going to scam him, so he brought Fox to his world as punishment. Later, the two discussed the possibility of a relationship in spite of their positions in the Guild, before havimg sex together.
Through the following months, she would refuse to help Black Cat's mother after being diagnosed with cancer due to not wanting to bend more Guild rules for her sake, and helped Black Cat escape from Nick Fury Jr.

Dreaming Celestial
The Dreaming Celestial (Tiamut the Communicator) is a
Fictional character biography
Tiamut the Communicator's function was to alert the Fulcrum of the findings of the Celestials during planetary examinations and to send a signal to the Horde to collect the planet's aggregate life-force. He was one of the ten members of the First Celestial Host when it visited Earth one million years ago. During this visit, Tiamut personally created the Eternal Makkari, designing him for speed and with several other interesting features in his DNA structure. It is said by some that the Deviant conqueror known as Lord Tantalus from the planet Arqa was created more than 25,000 years ago by the Dreaming Celestial but this has not been confirmed.
During the Second Celestial Host, the Deviants were the dominant force on Earth, and Tiamut was ready to call the Horde to begin the harvesting of the planet. However, Arishem had that order canceled, and had many of the Deviants culled, while not touching the other species. As this was a violation of their protocol, Tiamut deemed Arishem to be malfunctioning and tried to assume command by attacking Arishem. Although Tiamut defeated Arishem, he was then attacked by four other Celestials who had been working with Arishem, and he was imprisoned underneath the mountains. Why they did this though, is still not truly clear, and mention must be made of the fact that this account of events was given by the Dreaming Celestial itself and has not yet been rebutted or verified. It should also be noted that, by giving this account to Makkari, the Dreaming Celestial contradicted his account.
One of the Exterminators killed the Dreaming Celestial during their attempt to invade the Multiverse.
Powers and abilities
Tiamut the Communicator possesses the power of cosmic energy control with an unknown upper limit. His armour is able to easily withstand strikes from nuclear warheads and planetary impacts. Tiamut seems to be one of the most powerful Celestials as Galactus feared it and Uatu the Watcher could not see anything when it awoke.

Dryad (Callie Betto) is a fictional character appearing in
After Scarlet Witch's actions of M-Day, Dryad is de-energized and boards a bus with other depowered students leaving the Xavier Institute. She is killed when William Stryker fires a missile at the bus, killing the depowered students aboard.[262]
Powers and abilities of Dryad
Dryad had the mutant ability to communicate with plants, much like a telepath can with people, which allowed her to manipulate plant life. It was not a particularly strong connection in that she had to actively maintain a link (a plant cannot simply call out telepathically to her mind) for communication to occur. It is for this reason that she rarely used the power and tended to forget about it at times.
In the explanation that she gave at one point, she explained that when a plant communicates, it is not like humans or animals because plants do not have emotions. They cannot express fear, excitement, happiness, etc. Instead, Callie explained plants as “speaking” in senses. For example, if a plant needed water, Callie would receive wetness. When she did not understand (for example if the plant is being killed off by a certain chemical that she would not respond to) she could sometimes offer vague explanations about the general state of the plant, or she had simply no idea what was going on.
Callie could accelerate, decelerate, or reverse plant growth in a twenty-foot radius. The type of growth that occurred depended on each plant. Smaller, less complex plants would grow very quickly (for example vines, weeds, flowers, etc.) while for larger plants, such as trees, she could only control a section. For example, she could cause a branch of a tree to bend at an angle from the tree. It is not possible to grow a full tree in a single sitting. It requires a considerable amount of time and concentration to achieve it. After Decimation, Dryad lost her powers.
Alternate versions of Dryad

While Trask felt that America should fear them, Duncan thought it was best to work alongside them. Duncan's idea was approved, causing tension between him and Trask to the point that the latter suspected him to be a mutant as well.[269] He then teamed up with Wolverine to battle Lyle Doome who went by the name Virus.[270]
He met with Professor Charles Xavier and became the FBI's federal liaison with the X-Men. He was then provided a special headband so that he can communicate with Xavier whenever it was necessary.
