Magique[edit]

Magique, originally known as Magic, is a Shi'ar warrior who is a member of the Imperial Guard. The character, created by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #107 (Oct. 1977). Magique has the ability to create realistic illusions. (Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Magique is the analog of a character from DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes: in her case Princess Projectra.)^[4]

Along with Gladiator, Mentor, and Quasar (later known as Neutron), Magic was one of the founding members of the Imperial Guard, brought together centuries earlier by T'korr, Majestor of the Shi'ar Empire, for the purpose of stopping Rook'shir, who has been driven insane by the malevolent force known as the Dark Phoenix, and was laying waste to the galaxy.^[5]

Magic and the Guard first clash with the X-Men and Starjammers, on behalf of D'Ken and Davan Shakari, over the fate of the Shi'ar Princess Lilandra Neramani.^[6] After the battle, Lilandra takes over as Majestrix, and the Guard swears allegiance to her.^[7]

After Lilandra's sister Deathbird stages a coup and becomes the new Shi'ar Empress,^[8] the Guard comes into conflict with a rogue Space Knight named Pulsar (not the Imperial Guard member Impulse, who later changes his name to Pulsar) and an alien named Tyreseus. After a large conflict which also involves Rom and other Space Knights — which leads to the deaths four Guardsman — Pulsar and Tyreseus are defeated.^[8]

Some time later, Empress Deathbird sends the Imperial Guard to Earth to battle the combined forces of the Starjammers and the superhero team Excalibur, so that she can claim the power of the Phoenix Force for herself. The Guard are forced to retreat when Deathbird realizes the Starjammers are led by Lilandra.^[9] (Some time later War Skrulls impersonating Charles Xavier and the Starjammers depose Deathbird and restore Lilandra to the throne. Deathbird cedes the empire back to Lilandra as she has grown bored of the bureaucracy.)^[10]

Now named Magique, the character takes part in "Operation: Galactic Storm," which details an intergalactic war between the Shi'ar and the Kree. Magique and the Imperial Guard steal the original Captain Marvel's Nega-Bands from the dead hero's tomb.^[11] Using Kree artifacts, including the Bands, the Sh'iar create a massive super weapon, the "Nega-Bomb." Ultimately, the Nega-Bomb device is successfully detonated, devastating the Kree Empire, with billions dying instantaneously (98% of the Kree population).^[12] The Shi'ar annex the remnants of the Kree Empire, with Deathbird becoming viceroy of the Kree territories.^[13]

During the Skrulls' Secret Invasion, Magique is part of the Imperial Guard faction that severely beats Ronan the Accuser on his wedding day.^[14] The Guard also slaughters many new Nova Corps recruits.^[15]

During the War of Kings, Magique is one of a number of Imperial Guards who perish, killed by Kree forces.^[16]

Some years later, she is replaced by a member of the Subguardians in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 5, #1.^[17]

Magnum[edit]

Magnus the Sorcerer[edit]

Magnus the Sorcerer was the mentor of the first Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew. He first appeared in Spider-Woman #2 (May 1978), and was created by Marv Wolfman and Carmine Infantino. Magnus grew up in the 6th century AD, in the time of King Arthur. Turned down as an apprentice by Merlin, he became the student, and eventually lover, of Morgan le Fay. In the 20th century, the centuries-old sorcerer could possess the bodies of the living. Magnus' spirit took possession of Jonathan Drew and aided the High Evolutionary in organizing the Knights of Wundagore.^[18]

Maha Yogi[edit]

Maha Yogi is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. He first appeared in Journey into Mystery #96 (September 1963), and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Yogi was apparently born 10,000 years ago in what is now Central Europe. He apparently was a savage that came to possess some portion of the same Bloodgem that Ulysses Bloodstone would later possess, which gave him immortality and eternal youth. He later came to Britain during the time of Camelot, and impersonated the real Merlin while he was away. The Eternal Sersi exposed the impostor, and the real Merlin placed him in suspended animation.^[19]

The false Merlin was revived in modern times, still posing as Merlin, and battled and was defeated by Thor, after which he went back into the coffin.^[20] He later became a professional criminal and took the name Warlock, organizing a band of armored mercenaries. He abducted Marvel Girl, battled the original X-Men, and was rendered comatose by Professor X.^[21]

Later, as the mentalist Maha Yogi, he attempted to create an army of mind-slaves. He fought and was defeated by the Beast and Iceman.^[22] The Maha Yogi then became the chairman of Merlin Industries. With Mongu, the Maha Yogi plotted world conquest, but was defeated by the Hulk and Doctor Druid. During his encounter with the Hulk, his fragment of the Bloodgem was destroyed and he rapidly aged into helplessness.^[23] Some time later, the Maha Yogi was revealed to have been created by the Caretakers of Arcturus and to have turned against them.^[24] He later appeared alive with his youth apparently restored by unknown means.^[25]

As a result of mutation induced by the Caretakers of Arcturus, the Maha Yogi had the psionic abilities to control the minds of others, create illusions, project psionic force bolts, levitate objects as large as a building, teleport himself, create force fields and alter his own appearance. His psionic powers have a limited range.

Thanks to his possession of a fragment of the Bloodstone, the Maha Yogi is virtually immortal, and has a physically malleable body.

He has attempted to use true magic, performing a ritual to summon the demon known as Grendel's Mother.^[26]

Mainframe is the name of three fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

The Earth-691 iteration of Mainframe appeared in the 2017 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, voiced by Miley Cyrus.

Publication history[edit]

Fictional character biography[edit]

Earth-691[edit]

The Earth-691 version of Mainframe is a future counterpart of Vision that is featured in the title Guardians of the Galaxy. Main Frame is the chief operating system of an entire planet, and the guardian of the shield of hero Captain America.^[27] He soon joins the Guardians of the Galaxy spinoff, the Galactic Guardians.^[28]

Earth-982[edit]

The Earth-982 version of Mainframe appears when Iron Man decided to retire from the hero business. Iron Man did not want to let his legacy end, designing an android patterned after the Iron Man armor, and called this robotic warrior Mainframe. Mainframe was brought online when Trolls attacked the young boy Kevin Masterson. Mainframe assembled all of the reserve Avengers and fought to save him. When the fight was over, Mainframe, Stinger, J2, and Kevin (as the new Thunderstrike) formed A-Next, a new team of Avengers.^[29]

Right away, Mainframe attempted to establish himself as team leader. He frequently encountered resistance from Stinger (who did not know that Mainframe was a robotic lifeform). But when Mainframe was terminally damaged, exposing his secret, Stinger was one of the first to volunteer to shrink inside to repair him. They later learned that whenever Mainframe was severely injured, he would upload his personality and memories into a replacement body assembled on an orbiting satellite.^[30]

Mainframe soon became more than just a high-tech hero to his teammates, he became a friend. He even learned to share his duties as leader with his teammate American Dream.^[31]

Earth-616[edit]

The Earth-616 character known as Mainframe is an android who is a member of the Guardsman Alpha Squad.^[32] He is killed in battle against the zombie Squadron Supreme from the Marvel Zombies universe.^[33]

Powers and abilities[edit]

Earth-982[edit]

Mainframe's robotic body is superhumanly strong, and has jet boosters that allow him to fly. He is equipped with a high-tech sensor array, as well as various energy weapons (lasers, magnetic beams, electric blasts, etc.). He also has projectile weaponry, such as grenades and missiles.

Mainframe's most valuable item is a tiny beacon that, when he is damaged beyond repair or destroyed, sends a signal to a Stark Enterprises satellite and uploads his consciousness into one of the replacement bodies stored there. With the recent destruction of that satellite, it remains to be seen what Mainframe will do.

Mainframe in other media[edit]

• The Earth-982 iteration of Mainframe appears in the animated television series Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., voiced by Jeffrey Combs.^[34] This version is a gaming A.I. created by Iron Man that attained sentience. In the episode "Wheels of Fury", Mainframe threatened to destroy the city if Iron Man lost his real-life game, which the former merely saw as continuing to the latter's challenge as ordered. The agents of S.M.A.S.H., led by She-Hulk, join Iron Man in defeating Mainframe's robots in a roller derby before persuading Mainframe not to attack the city. Desiring to learn more about the real world, Mainframe creates a new body for himself and leaves to see it. In the episode "Planet Monster" Pt. 2, Mainframe joins the agents of S.M.A.S.H. and the Avengers, among other heroes, to combat the Supreme Intelligence's forces.
• The Earth-691 iteration of Mainframe appeared in a mid-credits scene in the live-action film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, voiced by an uncredited Miley Cyrus.^[35][36] This version is a member of the Ravagers and a former member of Yondu's original team.

Spider-Island creatures[edit]

Various minor characters within Marvel Comics end up turning into Man Spiders. This depiction, created by Dan Slott and Stefano Caselli, first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #662 (May 2011) and officially shown in The Amazing Spider-Man #666 (July 2011). New York's various citizens end up with spider abilities during the Spider-Island storyline due to the Jackal's "science experiment" involving bedbugs,^[37] using DNA from Peter Parker / Spider-Man.^[38] The Jackal has two enforcers: the Tarantula and the Spider King.^[39] New York's inflicted citizens include schoolyard bully Rich Davies,^[40] and average family man Walter Coleman.^[41] Gangsters (such as Mateo Caldron,^[42] Leonard Kornfeld,^[43] and Sal Morone^[44]) are manipulated to impersonate Spider-Man but are defeated by the Avengers,^[44] and other spider-powered citizens inspired by Peter.^[45] The Future Foundation work on a vaccine that can keep people from gaining spider powers but does not cure people who already has said abilities while the whole incident's mastermind Adriana Soria / Queen watches as all of New York's infected citizens mutate into Man Spiders.^[46] As the Queen and the Jackal relish in the chaos, some of the creatures (such as Samantha Green) go to Eddie Brock to be cured.^[47][48] Horizon Labs' serum developed from the Anti-Venom symbiote to undo the Man Spider mutations almost gets sabotaged by the Tarantula but is defeated by his genetic template while thrown in the serum pool, curing the Tarantula's mutations.^[49] Earlier, the Spider King tried to release the Spider virus outside of New York's quarantine,^[45][46] but is defeated by Agent Venom who also delivers Anti-Venom to be used as a cure for the Spider virus and the Spider King.^[50][48] Meanwhile, various individual groups try to take advantage of the confusion of the Man Spider chaos but are repelled by various superheroes.^[51][52][53] Among the Jackal's various clones killed by the Queen, one clone (in Man Spider form) is a slave who gets killed while the Queen fights Agent Venom and Steve Rogers.^[54] The Spider Queen fights New York's superhero community while Spider-Man uses miniature Spider-Slayers carrying the cure and Kaine Parker uses the "Big Time" Spider-Armor to slay Spider-Island's instigator, reversing the Man Spider mutations and finally curing New York's population.^[55]

Man-Spiders' powers and abilities[edit]

The Spider-Island Man-Spiders were initially most of New York's population with abilities identical to Spider-Man's as well as organic web-shooters before eventually turning into spider monsters; some had four spider legs from the back like the Spider-King, others simply had four additional arms like the Kingpin, and Anya Corazon / Spider-Girl retained these abilities even after New York's antidote. The Man-Spider transformations are because of the Jackal's Spider virus, but the Man-Spiders can still have a telepathic connection to Adriana Soria who can telekinetically control the Man-Spiders.

Man-Spiders in other media[edit]

The Spider Island Man Spiders appear in the animated television series Marvel's Spider-Man, voiced by Melanie Minichino, Fred Tatasciore, Max Mittelman and Nancy Linari. In the five-part episode "Spider-Island", the destruction of the Jackal's genetically-engineered spider experiments releases chemicals that cause New York's citizens to obtain Spider abilities and eventually mutate into the Man Spiders. The Spider King alias is used for the mutated form of Norman Osborn (voiced by Josh Keaton) as the Man Spiders' apparent leader before it's revealed the Jackal is controlling the Man Spiders and taking advantage of this entire situation. The Man Spiders are eventually cured by the Spider Team.^{[56][57][58][59][60]} In "Spider-Man Unmasked" Pt. 2, Tarantula-esque Man Spiders are used in Swarm's gladiator web series, but are defeated by the Spider Team and cured off-screen.

Man-Thing[edit]

Manbot[edit]

Manbot (Bernie Lechenay) was created by Steven Seagle and Scott Clark, and first appeared in Alpha Flight vol. 2 #1 (1997).

He invades their Rocky Mountain headquarters, and stalks and nearly kills them.^[64] He is turned over to the police in Elijah, Colorado.^[65] Manslaughter aids the Defenders and the Interloper in battle against Moondragon and the Dragon of the Moon. He joins his life force with Andromeda, the Valkyrie, and Interloper to drive the Dragon of the Moon from Earth, and his body turns to dust.^[66] With the others, they later take on host bodies of living persons, and assist Doctor Strange in battling and crushing the Dragon of the Moon.^[67] Manslaughter has minor psionic talents, telepathic powers enabling him to perceive the activity of the autonomic nervous systems of other people. He can use this to influence the peripheral vision and subliminal hearing of others, making him invisible and virtually inaudible from a person's peripheral senses.

Manta[edit]

Manta is a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, she first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #137 (Sept. 1980). Manta possesses the power of flight. Manta's eyes only perceive heat (as in infrared radiation), allowing her to see in the dark. She can generate blinding flashes of white or blue light. Her species experiences memory in a manner different from that of most other species.

She has fought the X-Men on multiple occasions. She first fought the X-Men in the Shi'ar Empire's attempt to police the Phoenix Force.^[68]

She was with the Guard when they come into conflict with a rogue Space Knight named Pulsar and an alien named Tyreseus. After a large battle which also involved Rom and other Space Knights — which led to the deaths of four new Guardsman — Pulsar and Tyreseus were defeated.^[8]

Later, when Deathbird became Empress, Astra commanded the entire Imperial Guard, including Manta, to fight the combined forces of the Starjammers and Excalibur on Earth so that she could claim the power of the Phoenix Force for herself. The Guard were forced to retreat when Deathbird was put in danger.^[9] (Some time later War Skrulls impersonating Charles Xavier and the Starjammers depose Deathbird and restored Lilandra Neramani to the throne. Deathbird ceded the empire back to Lilandra as she had grown bored of the bureaucracy.)^[10]

Manta was again part of the Imperial Guard missions "Operation: Galactic Storm"^[69][70] and "Starblast."^[71][72]

Later during New X-Men, she fought the X-Men under the manipulation of Cassandra Nova. In the latter, Manta sought out Jean Grey, confident she could defeat Phoenix while armed with psychic armor, but Grey easily bested her in hand-to-hand combat.^[73]

Manta was one of the survivors of the battle with Vulcan.^[74] She had many further adventures with the Imperial Guard, in such storylines as "Secret Invasion,"^[75] "X-Men: Kingbreaker,"^[76] "War of Kings,"^[77] "Realm of Kings,"^[78] the "Infinity" crossover,^[79] the "Trial of Jean Grey,"^[80] "Time Runs Out,"^[81] and the return of Thanos.^[82]

Manta in other media[edit]

Manta appeared in the X-Men animated series. In the episodes "The Dark Phoenix" and "Fate of the Phoenix", she and the Imperial Guard had to fight the X-Men to determine Jean Grey's fate after the Phoenix Force attacked some of the galaxies.

Moondark[edit]

Moondark operated as a stage magician in San Francisco, and when Spider-Man came to town he feared that Spider-Man would interfere with his plans. While Jack Russell observed his performance at a small bijou, Moondark mesmerized the whole audience including Jack (also known as the Werewolf). Moondark sent the Werewolf to ambush Spider-Man at the San Francisco Bay, where he was vacationing. As the two heroes fought, Spider-Man discovered and tackled Moondark, who was killed as he fell into the water.^[159]

The Dark Beings whom Moondark worshipped claimed his soul but allowed him to return to Earth to claim other souls and buy back his own. He acted as a stage performer at a carnival in New York and created a Soul-Orb to claim the souls of the other carnival performers one by one. The Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, while working at the carnival also lost his soul to Moondark, which Moondark kept in a ring he wore. Spider-Man, as Peter Parker, went to the carnival and recognized the Ghost Rider who was now a part of Moondark's show. Parker returned as Spider-Man, but was captured by the Ghost Rider and the others under Moondark's control. When Moondark tried to steal Spider-Man's soul, he was able to destroy Moondark's ring and free the Ghost Rider, who destroyed the Soul-Orb with a burst of hellfire. Moondark's demonic master arrived to take the only soul available—Moondark's.^[160]

Moondark was able to return to the living world, seeking to reclaim Blaze's valuable soul to bargain for his own. Lairing outside Las Vegas, he sent mutated vultures to attack Blaze and attract his attention. He tricked Ghost Rider into resuming human form, subdued him and bound him with magical bonds that prevented him from transforming. Hamilton Slade, then known as the Phantom Rider, was nearby and drawn to the magical conflict. When Moondark attacked Slade, his concentration weakened which allowed Blaze to break free and transform into Ghost Rider again. Ghost Rider destroyed the new Soul-Orb and Moondark fled to his other-dimensional realm.^[161]

Moondark joined forces with the Water Wizard to get revenge on Blaze. Moondark enhanced the Water Wizard's power which allowed him to overpower Ghost Rider, and Moondark appeared and mocked the seemingly helpless Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider set Moondark's body on fire, and he fled back to his dimension.^[162]
