Sir James "Mad Jim" Jaspers is a character inAmerican comic books seen inMarvel Comics. He was created by David Thorpe andAlan Davis forMarvel UK. He is a powerful supervillain who was the archenemy ofCaptain Britain andExcalibur as well as a few other heroes as well as the main antagonist of the Excalibur series.

In the reality of Earth-238,^[8] James Jaspers, a British politician waged a political war on mutants. He had been elected into office as a member of the English Parliament because of his anti mutant and anti super heroes stance and politics, however Jaspers was a mutant himself with powerful reality-warping abilities. His political façade and motivations for the elimination of his fellow mutants and superheroes was essentially to ensure his supremacy. Jaspers seemed a gifted politician and adapt at swaying popular public opinion, with lines such as "if they were honest they wouldn't wear masks" but whether he was always mad, or descended into madness with the advent of his mutant reality warping powers, Jaspers had lost his sanity. Jaspers of Earth-238 was so determined to rid his world of mutants, he began to move beyond drumming up anti-mutant sentiment and constructed an incredibly powerful adaptive cybernetic construct known simply asthe Fury to hunt and eliminate all superpowered beings.

Jaspers had also formed an advanced technological equipped military task force charged with eliminating super powered beings, this group known as the Status Crew. Typically the Status Crew would round up powered beings to be held in concentration camps with their extermination there not long after. The Fury would deal with bigger threats. It would take less than two years for super powered beings to be on the verge of extinction. The Fury had been programmed by Jaspers to allow Jaspers to live as the sole powered being.

Unmatched in power by any other being, any potential threats ruthlessly destroyed by the Fury, Jaspers adopted the persona of Mad Jim Jaspers, a bank robber and crook paying homage to theMad Hatter fromAlice in Wonderland as well as continuing theLewis Carroll book theme with his own bank robbing crew, the Crazy Gang. It was around this time that the Omniversal Guardian Merlyn aware of not just this reality's version of Jaspers danger to the multiverse, but the Jim Jaspers of the 616 reality who Merlyn realized possessed even greater reality warping power. Merlyn would teleport one of the few remaining super heroes of Earth-238, Captain UK Linda McQuillan, to the 616 designated reality. Importantly he would also do so whilst she was being observed by the deadly cybiote the Fury. The Earth of 238 would fall into disarray due to the mad machinations and reality warping of Jaspers. It had become known as a crooked earth. Of similar concern was that the Jaspers of 616 had begun his political ascension, a worrying sign of things to come.^[9]

Upon returning to mainstream reality/616, Captain Britain found that another Sir James Jaspers was leading an anti-superhero campaign, with the aid ofHenry Peter Gyrich andSebastian Shaw, members of theHellfire Club.

Jaspers managed to win a landslide general election victory on his anti-superhero platform and became Prime Minister of Britain. Events began to mirror those of Earth-238 and Jaspers unleashed the force of the Jaspers Warp upon London, causing much chaos and devastation. However, Jaspers found himself under attack from the reality-hopping Fury, and the two engage in a large-scale reality-warping battle in which Jaspers was ultimately killed by the Fury, who teleported him outside the universe, where he would have no reality to control and thus be rendered powerless.

Master Izo is a fictional character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. A superhero martial artist, he is associated withDaredevil, and first appeared inDaredevil vol. 2 #112. He was created byEd Brubaker andMichael Lark.

The man who would be known in the modern age only as Master Izo was a member of the organizationThe Hand hundreds of years ago in Feudal Japan. Following the death of its founder, Kagenobu Yoshioka, and its transformation from a samurai alliance into a ninja cult in service to a demon, Izo chose to leave. At this time he put out his eyes, which enabled him to see the world, he claimed, as Yoshioka had (and as Daredevil later would).^[147]

Izo would later foundThe Chaste, a rival martial arts association situated atop a sheer cliff known as the Wall. However, his unhindered nature eventually led his students to vote him out, disgusted with his drinking and gambling.Stick took his place as the leader of the Chaste. Izo was revealed to have been present shortly after the accident which gave Matt Murdock his superhuman senses, and reported this information anonymously to Stick. Later still, he became the trainer of the future supervillain and Hand assassinLady Bullseye, who he promised would one day become the Hand's leader.^[147] He is mentioned a number of times in theBook of the Iron Fist.^[148]

Much later, following the death of theSkrull posing as Hand leaderElektra, Izo journeyed to New York City, where the four remaining ninja-lords of the Hand were assembling to forcibly induct Daredevil as the new leader. Izo intervened to assist Daredevil in driving them off, which led them to switch their focus to theKingpin. Izo's purpose was to manoeuvre Daredevil into taking the position, as a means of reforming the Hand away from its corrupted state. He was also revealed to have placedBlack Tarantula within the Hand as a mole, unbeknownst to Daredevil. Ultimately, Daredevil accepted the position, and ordered that the Kingpin and Lady Bullseye be banished. Her erstwhile ally's treachery exposed, Lady Bullseye vowed to kill Izo, who told her to "get in line."^[149][147] Subsequently, Izo fakes his own murder at the hands of Daredevil to trick the Hand into accepting Daredevil as their leader.^[150] He later shows up in Shadowland to reveal to the heroes involved in the battle against Daredevil and the Hand to explain his discovery that Matt Murdock had been possessed by the Beast.^[151]

Master Izo is a formidable martial artist, one of the finest anywhere in the world, including being able to wield two katana at once. He has considerable stamina, enabling him to traverse the city by jumping on rooftops. Despite (or rather, as a result of) being blind, he has superhuman-radar senses, much as Daredevil does. He also evidently possesses some form of immortality or at least life-extending capability, as he is now somewhere in the area of 500 years old.

The first one,Manuel Eloganto, first appeared inDaredevil #5 (Dec. 1964), and was created byStan Lee andWally Wood. He was once the most famous bull fighter of Spain. However, his cruelty and brutality towards the bulls made the crowd hate him. When a riot broke loose during one of his performances, Manuel had to be rushed to the hospital. After his recovery, he swore revenge upon all mankind. From that moment on, he vanished from sight, starting to make evil schemes. Matador primarily crossed paths withDaredevil and fought him on numerous occasions. He even joined theEmissaries of Evil and teamed up with characters such asElectro,Gladiator,Leap-Frog, andStilt-Man. He later ironically teamed up withMan-Bull. Despite being seen as something of a joke villain, he has managed to frequently pose a threat to Daredevil.

The second one,Juan, first appeared inDaredevil vol. 2 #89 (Sept. 2006), and was created byEd Brubaker andMichael Lark. As one of finest matadors in Spain, Juan was hired by Vanessa Fisk, in a complicated plot against Daredevil, to carry out various ploys.

Match (Ben Hamill) is afictional character appearing in comic books published byMarvel Comics. Amutant, Hamill attended theXavier Institute before its closing. While at the institute, Hamill was the field leader of theParagons training squad.

The character, created byNunzio DeFilippis andChristina Weir, first appeared inNew Mutants Vol. 2 #7. DeFilippis revealed that while he and Weir created the character, he was based on a background mutant fromNew X-Men: Academy X, #7. "We saw a cool bit of artwork in the background of a panel (I think it was Carlo Barberi who first drew him) and thought for a few seconds about a name, codename, and power set."^[161]

While spending time in his home town park, Ben Hamill suddenly manifested his mutant powers. Unable to control his powers, Ben set flame to the town's park.

After the manifestation of his powers, Ben was enrolled in theXavier School for Gifted Youngsters. While at the school, he chose the codename Match, where he was present at Xavier's special assembly head by the headmasterCharles Xavier to inform the student body of an explosion that happened the night before caused by Magma who'd been awoken from a coma byElixir andHellion. Xavier preached about heroism being more than being brave.^[162] Match would later attend Parent's Week at Xavier's, although it is unknown if his parents for the week he seem to enjoy himself during the festive time.^[163] While in class withKarma, he was asked along with his classmates if they'd seen Josh, who was unknowingly out on a date withRahne Sinclair.^[164]

After enrolling at the institute, Hamill was assigned to the Paragons training squad under the tutelage of Rahne Sinclair.^[165] Though hot-tempered (even voted "Shortest Temper"^[166]), Hamill is a natural leader, and consequently, was named as the field leader for his squad.^[167] As a part of the field squads games, the Paragons participated in a Danger Room session where they had to fight aHulk construct. After the exercise, the New Mutants squad tried the same simulation and beat the record set by the Paragons' exercise. During a team meeting with Rahne, Ben and his teammates expressed their dismay at the New Mutants squad having had beat their time. Rahne then gave them a much needed a pep talk, trying to remind them that they would have save a lot of lives if the session had been real.^[168] Soon after,Cyclops andEmma Frost revealed that Sinclair had been in a romantic relationship withElixir, who was abruptly departed from the school, leaving the Paragons without an advisor. Ultimately, formerNew MutantMagma stepped in to become the Paragons' mentor.^[167]

Ben is still viewed as such by his former teammates after the dissolution of the squad system.^[169] Following the events ofHouse of M, only 27 of the school's students retained their powers. All squads were dissolved, and the remaining students were merged into one group. Ben and his fellow former ParagonsTrance,Wolf Cub, andPixie were revealed to be among the handful of still-powered Xavier students.^[170]

Match, along with several of his fellow students, is sucked down into the realm ofLimbo. When attacked by demons, he quickly joins the fight, killing several demons while trying to protect Pixie andBlindfold.^[171] Ben participates in the final fight againstBelasco and is returned to the school after Belasco is defeated.^{[172][173][174][175]}

Ben relocates to San Francisco along with the other X-Men.^[176] He reappears putting out fires started by rioting over Proposition X, an anti-mutant reproductive legislation being pushed by the anti-mutant organization "Humanity Now!"^[177] After the riots subside, theDark X-Men along with Norman Osborn declare a citywide curfew for all citizens prohibiting public activity after dark. InAvalanche's bar, Match, along with fellow studentHellion and other mutants angrily decide to cause a scene after curfew hours for all the world to see as a warning against the "fascism" of the Dark X-Men. As Match spreads fire throughoutUnion Square, the Dark X-Men come to arrest the troublemaking mutants.^[178] After a battle, they are taken into custody by the Dark X-Men.^[179] Eventually, Match and the other imprisoned mutants are freed by theX-Force and teleported to the island of Utopia.^[180]

Ben's abilities are pyrokinesis, enabling him to produce and manipulate flame. In addition, he is seemingly immune to fire and high temperatures. As a side effect of his powers, Ben's head remains constantly aflame, though it appears that he can control the extent of the flaming; during a Danger Room session, he is able to maintain some level of stealth by lowering the intensity of his head flame. Ben's body is always glowing, and emits heat, however it is not hot enough to burn his clothing. The flame on his head is also not as hot as normal fire and as such, it does not burn what it touches. This was confirmed by his creators, Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir.

Match makes a cameo appearance inDark Phoenix, portrayed byLamar Johnson.^[161]

Matthew Plunder is a fictional character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. He is the son ofKa-Zar andShanna the She-Devil. He lived with his family in theSavage Land. The character, created by Chris Claremont and Art Adams, first appeared inX-Men Annual #12 (June, 1988).

He was placed inside the wormhole on the Savage Land and was rescued along with all the other trapped souls by Skaar. He then joined the army that was formed and was seen alive after the Designer was defeated.^[181]

A much older Matthew saved the life ofValeria Richards with hisPterosaur Dax after she was dropped by one of the Swamp Men's Terror Birds in midair. After straightening out the situation with the alien Prah'd'gul, Valeria played small talk with Matthew about his age progression through a time traveling incident and flirted with him as they went their separate ways.^[182]

Some corrupt policemen, led by Roger Falcone, exposed the other police officers to a gas to asphyxiate them. With her dying breath, Brigid swore vengeance on Falcone. As Brigid lay dying, Cloak and Dagger found her, and though were too late to save the other police, Cloak surrounded her and Dagger with darkness, while Dagger tried to revive her with light.

Lily found a hidden door in Harry Osborn's closet and found an old journal of his.^[218] She uncovered the location of one of Norman Osborn's secret rooms in the journal. When she had first gone in, she found all of the Goblin's equipment along with some experiments. After accidentally knocking over some experimental Goblin chemicals, she absorbed them into her skin, and was now able to transform into her "Menace" form at will. Stealing a weapons cache of the original Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, Menace was later hunted down byJackpot. During her search, she met Spider-Man and reluctantly accepted his help. Menace attacked a council meeting and kidnapped councilwoman Lisa Parfrey, with Spider-Man and Jackpot working together to try and stop her. Menace's glider slammed into the rescued councilwoman, killing her, and Menace escaped the crime scene, but not before accusing Spider-Man of being responsible for the woman's death.^[219]

She was sabotaging his campaign for his own good against Randall Crowne, his opponent, and began destroying her fathers advertisements. She also broke into their home and tried to threaten him into backing out of the running.

Menace recreated Osborn's original death by ramming him with her glider, however, Osborn survived the attack and Menace spared him, after accusing Osborn of being a fool for devoting all his time and assets to Spider-Man's destruction. During theSkrull Invasion, Lily and Harry Osborn were attacked on the street, after getting away from Harry and changing into Menace she killed one of the invadingSkrulls, and then set her sights on Jackpot, believing her to be "Spider-Man's girlfriend". Their fight took her into the path of one of the Skrulls, with Menace's glider exploding on contact. Menace survived, though badly injured, and limped away from the scene.^[220]

When Menace attacked a Hollister Rally, she managed to badly beat Spider-Man (who had earlier been shot through the arm) and claimed a "citizen's arrest" to the arriving police. Menace then flew into the Hollister party headquarters, and changed back into Lily Hollister, just before Harry walked in on her. She revealed to Harry that she was Menace. She then told Harry that she accepted his earlier marriage proposal.^[221] On Election Day, Menace attacked two police officers for arresting her former friendCarlie Cooper for a crime she didn't commit, then attacked Spider-Man when he appeared. Menace was about to finish him until Harry, as the Green Goblin, appeared and shot Menace with a serum, with Spider-Man giving her the full injection. This caused Menace to change back into Lily and was seen in a live broadcast, with her father watching in shock and in tears of this revelation. A few days after the event, with Bill Hollister as the new Mayor of New York, Lily was now in prison and was visited by Norman Osborn, who discovered the engagement ring given to her by Harry and welcomed her to the family.^[221]

She is later seen released from prison and approaches Harry in her Menace form, telling him that she's "moved on". Harry believes that she has started a relationship with Norman and warns her that she will be disposed of once Norman's done with her.^[222]

Harry's real reason for joining is to steal a cure for the serum to use on Lily and the baby so they can be healthy.

However, she pushes him away and reveals that it was all a ruse to make Harry becomeAmerican Son so he could be used to die in a tragedy to engender sympathy and support for Norman. She also shows a new goblin form, with a decidedly more feminine figure, large full horns, and a green complexion.

Midnight's Fire is afictionalsupervillain appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. He first appeared inTheNew Warriors #2 (Aug. 1990), and was created byFabian Nicieza andMark Bagley. Midnight's Fire is a mutant. His powers and his sisterSilhouette's powers are derived from their ability to tap into the extradimensional energy of theUniversal Wellspring, due to being descendants of the Dragon's Breath Cult which had based their cult around the base of one of the wells for centuries.

In 1966 during theVietnam War, an American recon patrol inCambodia stumbled upon the ancient, hiddentemple of a cult known as theDragon's Breath, which had remained hidden for centuries. It had been built upon a well-spring of raw, primal energy called the "Well of All Things". The inhabitants decided to breed a superior race that would one day unite with the ways of the west. They believed that this union would produce children capable of harnessing the power of the Well. The members of the recon patrol were to be the fathers of these children, one of these men was Andrew Chord the man who would become Midnight Fire's and Silhouette's father.^[264]

Midnight's Fire and his sisterSilhouette are the only children of Andrew Chord, former guardian ofDwayne Taylor (Night Thrasher) and his wife Miyami (daughter ofTai). Silhouette, Midnight's Fire and Dwayne began an organized effort to take down various New York Citystreet gangs,^[265] but their partnership ended when Silhouette was shot and paralyzed from the waist down. Midnight's Fire blamed Dwayne and became a cop killer and adruglord to lure Dwayne into a physical confrontation he could not possibly win.^[265]

Diego Cassias, one of the other members of the recon patrol now calling himself theLeft Hand, stole the power of the Well from his own child, then gathered the other children of the pact including Midnight's Fire into a group called theFolding Circle. The Circle attempted to take control of the Well away from Tai. Members of the Circle, together with the New Warriors, managed to defeat Tai, but the Well was sealed, Cassias and Tai were apparently killed, and the surviving members of the Circle escaped in a stolen Avenger's Quinjet.^[266] The remaining members of the Folding Circle later crashed inMadripoor and attempted to usurp the role of local druglord, which was then held by Aardwolf, aMutant crimelord. They succeeded, but were later taken down by Night Thrasher and Silhouette.^[267]

Midnight's Fire returned in the newest volume of 'New Warriors'. He has a face to face meeting with Night Thrasher, whom he still believes is Dwayne but is in fact Donyell, for the purposes of arranging an 'alliance'. Midnight's Fire leaves, telling Night Thrasher he would think about it. It's after the meeting that Midnight's Fire is working on behalf of another individual. He expresses displeasure at working with this entity.^[268]

Midnight's Fire is aMutant like his sisterSilhouette. His powers come from the Universal Wellspring.^[269]

• Midnight's Fire has subtle para-human abilities. Due to the energies of theWell of All Things his physical attributes are raised to slightly beyond the peak of human possibility. He thus possesses enhanced speed, strength, agility, endurance and sensory perception slightly superior toCaptain America; and he may well surpass these abilities as he grows in age and power. Midnight's Fire also possesses a degree of superhuman resilience; able to at least briefly survive a plunge into a pool of acetone without harm; and to fight an armoured Night Thrasher barehanded without suffering significant harm.
• Midnight's Fire is also a skilledmartial artist.

Alyssa Moy is a fictional character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics.

In some storylines, she acts as thede facto manager for theFantastic Four, responsible for generating their aliases and visual identities. She first appeared inFantastic Four vol. 3 #5 (May 1998), created byChris Claremont andSalvador Larroca.^[385]

Alyssa Moy's rare appearances have been associated almost exclusively with the Fantastic Four. In one instance, she lends her hover car to help Reed andBen Grimm to retrieve an essential item which a villain has tossed miles away. In another adventure, Alyssa andFranklin Richards battle theWarwolves, who pursue them through New York City. The wolves take on the form of civilians to try to entrap them. Alyssa witnesses the wolves killing at least one police officer, a sight from which she tries to shield Franklin. Alyssa and Franklin are soon rescued from the wolves by the Fantastic Four.^[386][387]

Moy and the others also face the other-dimensional bounty squad ofGatecrasher and herTechnet. Everyone is transported toOtherworld to face theCaptain Britain Corps, which is controlled byRoma. The incident has been triggered because Roma believed Franklin to be a threat to the multiverse.

Alyssa later returns to solicit Reed's help with 'Nu-World', a man-made planet designed to take refugees from our seemingly doomed Earth.^[388]

At some time in the far past, Reed Richards had proposed to Moy. Moy turned him down because she felt that they had a 'duty' to spread their genius-level genes as widely as possible rather than 'confine' themselves to each other. Reed did not reveal this to his wifeSue until some time after Moy had re-entered his life. According to the then-current Fantastic Four writer,Mark Millar, Moy will again play a role in the comic as he explores her relationship with Reed Richards in much more depth. Millar said: "It just always struck me that Reed would have had someone prior to Sue, since he's ten years older than she is. Also, Sue's so different from Reed and I felt the girl out there would be much more like he was, a female Reed Richards of sorts, and someone he'd have met at university. As luck would have it, Chris Claremont created exactly such a character and her name is Alyssa Moy. Her nickname in our story is Mrs. Fantastic and you'll see why when you read the first issue."^[389]

During a reunion, Alyssa suggested to Reed that both of them had married the wrong people, since neither of their spouses could fully understand their work. However, Reed informed Alyssa that he married Sue because he loved her.^[390]

The Alyssa of eight years into the future of 'Nu-World' is now a floating brain in a robotic body, still married to Ted Castle, helping to keep the planet from being destroyed.
