Gaea is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Gaea is one of the Elder Gods of Earth.

Gaia, also known as theGuardian of the Universal Amalgamator, is a superhero, depicted as possibly being amutant orextraterrestrial. Created byLarry Hama, she first appeared inGeneration X #37.

Not much is known about Gaia's origin besides her having spent thousands of years chained to the Universal Amalgamator at the end of Time, a device that would be used to merge all sentient consciousnesses into one being.^[1] Gaia was apparently the safeguard that was supposed to prevent the Amalgamator from being activated by malicious people. She even claimed that her entire galaxy was wiped out at one point for her refusing to activate the Amalgamator.^[2]

However, when M-Plate, the fusion ofEmplate andM, tried to haveSynch use his power to tap into Gaia's and activate the Amalgamator, Synch refused.^[2] The Citadel of the Universal Amalgamator began to crumble around them andGeneration X wanted to leave, but Synch went back, along withPenance, to save Gaia.Banshee thought him lost but Gaia knew of a secret portal that, coincidentally, led back near theMassachusetts Academy. With the Amalagamator destroyed, Gaia was freed from her responsibilities and decided to live freely on Earth.^[3]

When she was seen next, she had gotten into an accident with a sports car and had pink hair.^[4] The policeman who came to the wreck knew of the academy, and suggested that she be put into their hands.^[4] She lost some of her abilities to theShadow King's telepathic shockwave, and stayed with Gen X, hoping to sort out that difficulty with their help.^[5]

Gaia formally enrolled in the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters,^[6] but left after a short time, saying that she wanted to experience Earth, not just learn about it.^[7]

Gaia has been shown to have a degree of superhuman strength, limited invulnerability,telepathy,^[4]psychokinesis,^[8] and the ability to draw on an extra-dimensional source of matter and energy to create or reshape anything according to her will.^[4] She is capable of warping reality to a limited degree, although she is largely inexperienced with this power and its use requires great concentration.^[9] Gaia also appears to be either extremely long lived or completely immortal as she stated that she visited Earth 600 years ago and still has the appearance of a teenage girl.

Gamesmaster is a fictionalmutant character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. He first appeared inThe Uncanny X-Men #283 (1991).

Gamesmaster is a mutant with the ability to have omnipathy. In his life before becoming the Gamesmaster, he led a regular life with a wife and child; however, years of omnipathic exposure to other people's minds drove him to a point where he eventually forgot his own real name. At some point, Gamesmaster was contacted by the immortal sorceressSelene, then the Black Queen of theHellfire Club. Together, they organized theUpstarts, a competition for wealthy and powerful individuals with the sole purpose of killing mutants for points in a twisted game. He agreed only to provide a distraction from the constant chatter in his mind. By focusing on the ambitious and powerful thoughts of the Upstarts, Gamesmaster was able to drown out the rest of the world.^[19]

In his capacity as the referee of the Upstarts' games, Gamesmaster oversaw the Upstarts' activities, which included confrontations with the team of adolescent mutants known as theHellions and the team of superhuman mutant adventurers known as theX-Men. After Selene was removed from the game by the UpstartTrevor Fitzroy, Gamesmaster continued to monitor the competition.^[20] After the Upstarts captured several former young members of the mutant trainee team, theNew Mutants, and took them to Gamesmaster's base in theSwiss Alps, their teammates inX-Force and theNew Warriors attempted to rescue them. Gamesmaster would have defeated them if it were not for the intervention ofPaige Guthrie, the mutant sister ofX-Force'sCannonball, who argued that a greater game would be to compete withProfessor X, the telepathic founder of the X-Men, and others like him who hoped to find and guide the next generation of mutants. Gamesmaster agreed and disbanded the Upstarts after allowing the heroes to leave.^[21]

Later, Gamesmaster captured both Doctor Weisman of the Weisman Institute for the Criminally Insane and one of the patients, a young boy named Jeremy Stevens. The Institute had a history of involvement with Xavier, who sensed something was amiss and sentSiryn, the mutant daughter of former X-ManBanshee, to investigate. On arrival, Gamesmaster clouded Siryn's memories, but she was rescued by her ally, the mercenaryDeadpool. Unbeknownst to Siryn, Deadpool had been captured, but she eventually became aware of his predicament and, with the help of her X-Force teammateShatterstar, came to his rescue.^[22]

Gamesmaster later forced Shatterstar to return to the institute. Shatterstar's life had become intertwined with that of one of the institute's patients, Benjamin Russell, and Shatterstar merged with the body of Russell to live. As all of this occurred under the watchful eye of Gamesmaster, the full implications of these events are yet to be revealed.^[23] Soon after, Gamesmaster attempted to control the minds of members of the X-Men by trapping them in a world of his own design to hide the fact that he had kidnapped the telepathicJean Grey. However, the X-Men learned of Gamesmaster's deception and confronted him. Gamesmaster subsequently revealed that it was part of a game he was playing with the X-Men to see how they would react to their perfect world, where mutants were no longer feared. He took Grey prisoner, as she was the only telepath among the X-Men who could challenge him. However, Gamesmaster had underestimated the X-Man Joseph, who was unknowingly a clone of the self-styled master of magnetism,Magneto. This error allowed Grey to break free and defeat Gamesmaster.^[24]

Years later, Gamesmaster resurfaced, still in possession of his mutant powers following the events ofM-Day. He showed a strong interest in the mutantX-23 and promised to watch her closely, even against her will.^[25]

The Gamesmaster is an omnipath, a superhumantelepath able to hear the thoughts of every being on the planet. However, he cannot block the thoughts out, and thus his mind is constantly filled with voices unless he is able to intensely concentrate on a distraction. Gamesmaster also possesses the ability to manipulate the thoughts of others and has suggested that, in addition to controlling minds en masse (as he once did with Salem Center in New York),^[24] he can manipulate the thoughts of the entire population of Earth simultaneously (though Jean Grey determined this to be a fallacy while in combat with him). To a lesser extent, Gamesmaster is also able to control the actions of other sentient beings. He was also shown to be capable of keeping other superhuman abilities in check, as he once did with the X-ManRogue. So far, only three people have proven to be immune to his powers: Jean Grey,Husk (although Husk was only able to resist his telepathy by "husking" into a certain form), andSpeedball.

• Gamesmaster makes non-speaking cameo appearances in theX-Men: The Animated Series.
• Gamesmaster is the main antagonist ofX-Men: Gamesmaster's Legacy.

Evan Sabahnur was created byRick Remender andEsad Ribić, and was first seen inUncanny X-Force #7 (June 2011) and fully appeared inUncanny X-Force #18 (February 2012).

Evan Sabahnur is a clone ofApocalypse raised byFantomex in isolation in a secret facility. When the Horseman of DeathArchangel ascends to replace the deceased Apocalypse, Fantomex unleashes Evan to defeat him. Evan is subsequently enrolled at theJean Grey School for Higher Learning, marking his first exposure to the outside world. He struggles with his identity, aware of the implications of his connection to Apocalypse. Many of his peers fear him due to his lineage, andDeathlok predicts that Evan may become one of theX-Men's greatest enemies. WhenDaken and hisBrotherhood of Mutants attempt to manipulate him into committing murder, he resists their influence and forms a close bond withDeadpool, who seeks to guide and protect Evan.^[37]

After spending several years as a student at the Jean Grey School, Evan is affected by the events of the 2014 "AXIS" storyline, in which a spell cast byDoctor Doom and theScarlet Witch inverts the moral alignments of many heroes and villains. As a result, Evan transforms to more closely resemble Apocalypse and leads the X-Men as his loyal enforcers. However, Deadpool is able to reach Evan and help undo the effects of the spell.^[37]

Evan adopts the codename Genesis and joins thetime-displaced X-Men. With them, he defeatsBlob andToad and even throws a party which his former classmates attend.^[38][39][40] While collaborating with the time-displacedBeast in a search for a time machine, he encounters and develops a friendship with a youngEn Sabah Nur. Despite his efforts, Genesis is unable to prevent the events that would lead En Sabah Nur to become Apocalypse.^[37]

During the 2019 "Age of X-Man" storyline, Genesis is one of many characters transported into the pocket dimension created byX-Man. In this reality, he is raised by Apocalypse and joins X-Tracts, a group of revolutionaries opposing X-Man's authoritarian regime. Genesis is mortally wounded byOmega Red in battle and subsequently dies.^[37]

• In 2020,CBR ranked the second Genesis third in its "10 Most Powerful Clones In Marvel Comics" list.^[41]

The third Genesis first appeared in a drawing inFree Comic Book Day 2020 (X-Men/Dark Ages) (September 2020) and made her full debut inX-Men (vol. 5) #12 (November 2020).

She is amutant who ruled the ancient mutant island ofOkkara alongside her husbandApocalypse. Their four children (War,Famine,Pestilence, andDeath) go on to become the first incarnation of theHorsemen of Apocalypse.^[42][43] Genesis often severely beats her children whenever they display what she deems weakness.^[43] When Okkara is invaded by the entityAnnihilation of the dimension Amenth, Genesis leads the mutants of the island into battle against the Amenthi Daemons. After the island is split intoKrakoa andArakko, Genesis, obsessed with winning the war against Annihilation and strengthening mutantkind, elects to seal off herself, Arakko, and all of the Okkaran mutants in Amenth to stop the invasion while Apocalypse remains on Earth to build a mutant society strong enough to defeat the Daemons if they ever return.^[44][45]

After millennia of fending off the Amenthi hordes and a failed counteroffensive, Genesis is tricked by Annihilation into killing its host, forcing her to claim the Annihilation Helm and become its new host to stop the leaderless Daemons from destroying Arakko and its people. Possessed by Annihilation, she subjugates Arakko in the entity's name and marshals both Arakkii mutants and Amenthi Daemons to invade Earth by way ofOtherworld.^[45][46]

To facilitate her invasion of Earth, Genesis, under the corrupting influence of Annihilation, sends her grandson,Summoner, to Krakoa to contact and manipulate Apocalypse into constructing a portal to Otherworld. Simultaneously, she sends her children, the First Horsemen, to destroy the Otherworld province of Dryador and lay siege to the Starlight Citadel. When Apocalypse is successfully lured into Otherworld, the Horsemen attack and would have killed their long-lost father if not for the intervention ofSaturnyne, the ruler of Otherworld. Seeking an end to the fighting in her realm, Saturnyne forces the two sides into a ceasefire and arranges theX of Swords tournament in which teams from Krakoa and Arakko will compete to settle the conflict.^[46] Genesis sends her children and Summoner to recruit Arakko's swordbearers, personally leading them to Otherworld and later revealing herself as Annihilation's host to Apocalypse.^[43][47]

For the final challenge of the tournament, with Krakoa and Arakko tied, Genesis duels Apocalypse. Though they are evenly matched, Apocalypse manages to catch her by surprise and impales her with her own sword, winning the tournament for Krakoa. Genesis begs her husband to kill her, but he refuses. Unwilling to accept defeat, Annihilation seizes control of Genesis and summons the full force of Amenth's armies to Otherworld, intent on traveling to and conquering Earth.^[48] During the ensuing battle, Apocalypse is able to remove the Annihilation Helm from Genesis' head and claim it for himself. Overcoming Annihilation's influence, he uses the helm to compel the Amenthi forces to surrender. Saturnyne subsequently transforms the helm into a staff to lessen Annihilation's influence over the wielder and gifts it to Genesis. Per Saturnyne's demands, the two sides exchange prisoners. Genesis chooses Apocalypse to return with her to Amenth, while Apocalypse chooses Arakko itself (and by extension, all of its mutant inhabitants) to return to Earth.^[49]

After Planet Arakko is devastated by theEternalUranos, Genesis, still under Annihilation's influence, begins to believe that the Arakkii mutants have grown weak in her absence. She travels to Arakko and confronts theGreat Ring of Arakko and the island's new regent,Storm, causing a schism to erupt between its members and inciting a civil war, dubbed the Genesis War. During the war, Genesis revitalizes Arakko with her chlorokinetic powers. In the final battle, Storm destroys the Annihilation Staff, freeing Genesis completely from its influence. As penance, Genesis, with her children War and Famine, goes into exile onPhobos.^[50]

Genesis is anOmega-level mutant with the ability to control and communicate with plant life and fungi in her vicinity.^[51][52] Her power over them is so complete that she can even use it on the microscopic fungi within a person's body.^[53] Additionally, Genesis is very long-lived, born thousands of years ago on Okkara. She is an expert at sword combat, skilled enough to rival Apocalypse.^[54]

While wearing the Annihilation Helm, Genesis was possessed by the entity Annihilation and granted all of its powers, including complete control over the dimension of Amenth and its Daemons.^[55][43][45] Following the helm's transformation into the Annihilation Staff, these powers became more manageable and less corruptive.^[49] Genesis lost access to these powers after Storm destroyed the staff.^[53]

As Annihilation's host, she wielded the Twilight Sword, the blade used to split the landmass of Okkara into the islands of Krakoa and Arakko. The sword is capable of cutting through realities and creating dimensional rifts.^[42][44][47]

Genesis received aHeroClix figurine.

Annie Ghazikhanian is a fictionalnurse who worked with theX-Men. She first appeared inThe Uncanny X-Men #411, and was created byChuck Austen andRon Garney.

When the X-ManHavok is found in a comatose state, she is assigned to his care. Despite Havok's only real reaction being an energetic appreciation of the sunlight, she develops romantic feelings towards him. When the X-Men discover he is still alive (as he was presumed dead), Cyclops, Alex's brother, comes to collect him. Annie and her son soon move in.

While Annie is a normal human, her son,Carter Ghazikhanian, is amutant. Annie has some anti-mutant prejudices, but she tries getting over them. She developed a personal friendship with the X-ManNorthstar, and kept secret his romantic feelings forIceman. She is seen many times administering to wounded X-Men.

When Havok wakes from his coma he pursues a relationship with Annie, even after becoming engaged toPolaris. Havok later leaves Polaris at the wedding altar, further damaging the woman's already-shaky mental state. He and Annie have a romantic relationship (despite her occasional flirtations withIceman) until she leaves the mansion. She fears for her son's safety because of supervillain attacks upon the mansion.

Carter Ghazikhanian is a fictionalmutant character in theMarvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was inThe Uncanny X-Men #411, created byChuck Austen andRon Garney.

Carter is the son ofAnnie Ghazikhanian, the former nurse at theXavier Institute. Since their move to the school, Carter struck up a friendship with the young aquatic mutant Sammy Paré, also known asSquidboy. When Carter tries to help Alex Summers, the X-Man known asHavok, from his coma, something strange occurs which rendered Carter unconscious. His consciousness became ensnared by the essence of the evil counterpart of Havok from theMutant X universe, but Carter and the real Alex were rescued byProfessor X. After the rescue, the Professor indicates he wants to talk to Annie about Carter's father, whose identity has yet to be revealed.

Annie later took him away from the Xavier Institute when she found it a too dangerous place for him. During their exit from the facilities, the newBrotherhood of Evil Mutants led by the ex-AcolyteExodus, attack the institute. One of the Brotherhood's many victims is Sammy. Carter telepathically detects Sammy's death.

Also, while they leave, theastral projection of an undetermined person is shown next to Carter's face. Annie seems unaware of this projection. Carter's dialogue and expression at this time hint that he is under the control of this individual. The projection was later revealed by Austen as the intended return ofCassandra Nova, but on his departure from the books, the storyline was dropped.^{[citation needed]}

Carter Ghazikhanian is a mutant who possesses both telepathic and telekinetic abilities. The full extent of Carter's powers, however, are still undetermined.

InX-Men: The End, Carter is depicted as a deeply traumatized child, possibly as a result of the deaths of both his mother and Havok. His powers have evolved to the point of being able to create solid psionic constructs, as he is seen playing in a castle he created. He is killed, along with most of the student body, when Skrulls invade the mansion.

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

Martin Blank is a man who was seemingly born amutant with anape-like build and agility. Gibbon later joins acircus where he does well as anacrobat. Martin Blank begins his career as a friend ofSpider-Man's while wearing agibbon suit. He even wants to be his partner, but Spider-Man laughs at him.^[56] Sick of being seen as a freak, Martin cannot take further ridicule and lashes out. He then catches the eye ofKraven the Hunter, who enhances the Gibbon's powers with a herb broth, also giving him a great animal rage. Gibbon was defeated by Spider-Man.^[57]

Gibbon was one of the inmates atRyker's Island.^[58] Gibbon sought revenge on Spider-Man, trying to prove himself as good as his foe. He is caught in the middle of a fight with Spider-Man andBeetle. Eventually, Gibbon helps Spider-Man by punching out the Beetle.^[59] Gibbon later joins up with other has-beens:Kangaroo,Grizzly, andSpot to form theLegion of Losers.^[60]

This team falls apart when Spider-Man carted Spot and Kangaroo to jail for bank robbery.^[61] He and Grizzly would later attempt to go hero, helping Spider-Man thwart a bank robbery byWhite Rabbit and eventually getting anaction figure deal.^[62][63]

The Gibbon has been shown as retaining his physical mutation followingM-Day, but showed no sign of his former mutant abilities.^{[volume & issue needed]}

Gibbon is seen as a client for the law offices that employShe-Hulk. He steals her tuna melt lunch out of the fridge.^[64]

Following the "Civil War" storyline, the Gibbon is a self-confessed loser at thewake ofStilt-Man that is held at the Bar With No Name. Almost all of the supervillains at the wake are the victims of murder or attempted murder. Disguised as a barman,Punisher poisons drinks and then blows up the bar.^[65] It is later mentioned that "they all had to get theirstomachs pumped and be treated for third-degree burns".^[66]

Martin is being considered as a "potential recruit" for theInitiative program.^[67]

Martin, nearly hairless, has spent his time since the bar attack plotting vengeance on the Punisher against the wishes of Martin's wifePrincess Python (who was apparently blinded in the explosion). When Martin finds the Punisher, however, he decides his revenge is not worth throwing away his life, and hands his gun over to the Punisher, returning home.^[68]

Gibbon returns as the lead character in theMarvel Apes storyline.^[69]

The Gibbon wasn't the perfect choice just because he's a mainstream Marvel character who can easily "pass" in an ape-filled monkeyverse, but because he's such alovable loser. Nothing ever goes right for him—he never gets a break, the girl, or the glory—and suddenly he finds the fate of an entire universe in his hands. In some ways,Marvel Apes is a sprawling epic likeLord of the Rings, and the Gibbon is ourFrodo— one small person dwarfed by the overwhelming forces that stand between him and his goal. He even has his ownSamwise— a spunky gal-scientist (human) named Fiona Fitzhugh who literally gets sucked into this adventure along with him.

Gibbon, apparently restored to his simian appearance with the related abilities, is left with his personal life in shambles. His attempts to side with the heroes are frustrated by his ineptitude, and even Princess Python, previously a caring and loving wife, has now become fed up with the meek loser Gibbon is reverting to. Out of boredom and depression, he replies to an ad posted on theDaily Bugle by Fiona Fitzhugh, a spunky and cheery young scientist hoping to study the nature of superpowered individuals. Her experiments fling both of them into a reality populated by simian version of the Marvel Heroes, and destroy the machines that could have been used to bring Gibbon back. Fiona supposes, due to Gibbon having his powers since birth, instead of gaining them in puberty as the majority of the mutants (thus making Gibbon more similar to mutants likeMultiple Man andNightcrawler), and being "drawn" to that particular reality, that Gibbon may be connected somehow to the Simian World.^[70] While Fiona asks for help from the simian version of the Fantastic Four, Gibbon is inducted by Spider-Monkey into the Ape-Vengers. Despite their friendly facade, the Ape-Vengers are far more ruthless and bestial than their human counterparts. The Gibbon sets out to discover the truth, with the help of a cadre of dissident simian heroes: the Ape-Vengers are under the thrall ofBaron Blood, who in this reality stole the appearance and the powers ofCaptain America, using his influence to prey over villains' and dissidents' blood at his leisure.^[71] Along withSpeedball andWolverine, despite being now pursued by Baron Blood and his followers, Gibbon manages to free Captain America from the iceberg in which he was entombed since the 1940s, gaining his help in battling the impersonator.^[72] Eventually, he and Fiona make their way back home.^[73]

Later while now resembling a man-sized Gibbon, he travels withGorilla Girl, Fiona, and several other allies asNorman Osborn seeks to exploit the potential of the now somewhat-accessible 'ape' universe.^{[volume & issue needed]} Fiona works to provide the Gibbon with various means of disguise to hide his simian nature.^[74]

During the "Hunted" storyline, Gibbon is among the animal-themed superhumans who are captured byTaskmaster andBlack Ant for Kraven the Hunter's Great Hunt.^[75]Vulture spoke to Gibbon telling him not to ally with Spider-Man. Vulture turned against Gibbon as the Hunter-Bots move in on Gibbon, who kill him.^[76] As he dies, Gibbon reflects on his life while coming to the conclusion that Princess Python never loved him. Spider-Man appears and accompanies Gibbon as he dies.^[77] Vulture falsely claimed that Gibbon sacrificed himself to save the other superhumans until Spider-Man explains what really happened to Gibbon.^[78]

The Goblin King recognizes Hollister as the Queen Cat, but Lily does not recognize him. Following the attack, Missile Mate is convinced by the Goblin King that the Hobgoblin would soon abandon the heroes that were trained. Missile Mate goes to the Goblin Nation's headquarters and asks the Goblin King to join and be a supervillain. The Goblin King is reluctant, but Missile Mate shows him that he has also gathered all the supervillains that the Hobgoblin had "abandoned" (consisting of8-Ball,Killer Shrike,Melter,Tiger Shark, andUnicorn) after becoming a good guy.^[127] While the celebration of Hobgoblin Day is being held with a parade in Kingsley's honor, Missile Mate betrays the Hobgoblin and attempts to murder in the Goblin King's name. Kingsley, however, had already expected the betrayal and had been using a hologram decoy which took Missile Mate's blow.

Gorr is a goldengorilla given human intelligence and greatly increased strength by theHigh Evolutionary.^[194]

Fearing thatGalactus was about to destroy his creationCounter-Earth, the High Evolutionary created Gorr and sent him to Earth to seek the aid of theFantastic Four.^[195] However, when he arrived on Earth, Gorr became inexplicably mutated into aKing Kong-sized monstrosity and went on a rampage through Manhattan, climbing to the top of theChrysler Building.^[196] When the Fantastic Four intervened, Gorr duped them into coming aboard his ship and transported them to Counter-Earth. The Fantastic Four, High Evolutionary, and Gorr were unable to convince Galactus not to destroy Counter-Earth, though Galactus challenged them to find a replacement within 48 hours. Gorr and theHuman Torch found an Earth-like planet, which turned out to be inhabited bySkrulls. The Skrulls abandoned the planet after an altercation with Gorr, leaving the planet uninhabited and thus worthless to Galactus. Ultimately, theImpossible Man convinced Galactus to devour his own planet of Poppup instead. Gorr remained with the High Evolutionary as a "valet."^[195]

Gosamyr is asupervillain turnedsuperhero appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. The character first appeared inTheNew Mutants #66 (August 1988), and was created byLouise Simonson andBret Blevins.

Simonson said she was considering having Gosamyr reform and join the New Mutants, depending on how much Simonson liked her.^[199] Gosamyr was written out of the series withThe New Mutants #74.

Gosamyr is a member of a rare, ancient race of alien beings. In line with her heritage, Gosamyr is a very beautiful and delicate humanoid creature in her early stage. Once they reach adulthood, members of her racecocoon themselves for several thousand years before finally emerging as large powerful monstrosities. If released too early they can be powerful enough to destroy planets, evensolar systems.^[200] The females of the species also haveempathic powers which, even without intent, can cause conflict between even the closest of friends to the point of destruction. Provoking such conflict has evolved into the cultural norm for the species as a means of vying for dominance.^[201] As part of this, Gosamyr used her beauty to seduce male humans. She even tries to chat up eight-year-oldJack Power, who resents her approaches.^[202]

Through some bad business dealings by her brother, Gosamyr and her family are forfeited to the evil alien businessman Spyder. Spyder keeps most of Gosamyr's family imprisoned while she herself is kept at the end of a leash as a pet.^[203]

Through similar arrangements, Spyder had also acquired "property rights" overLila Cheney. Lila is kidnapped by Spyder's men in spite of the efforts of her friends from theNew Mutants. While in Earth's orbit, Gosamyr gives Spyder the slip, steals a space yacht and goes to Earth to find the New Mutants and ask for their help to save both her family and Lila.^[203]

Gosamyr and the New Mutants follow Spyder to a planet where greed and the search for profit is the norm. On their space voyage, Gosamyr manipulates the New Mutants and causes conflict between them to establish herself as thealpha female of the group. OnlyWarlock, being aTechnarch, is immune to her manipulations and suspects that Gosamyr is a threat before it is too late, and her manipulations have exposedWolfsbane's repressed feelings for Lila's boyfriendCannonball, causedMagik to lose control of her demonic essence, and brought the New Mutants to blows with each other. Magik breaks the spell by striking Gosamyr with herSoulsword. Now with Gosamyr as their prisoner, the New Mutants break into Spyder's palace to rescue Lila, but are captured by Spyder, who has been monitoring their progress and using Gosamyr's nature to lead them into a trap.^[204]

Gosamyr frees the New Mutants by using a trick which makes her invisible. They then discover that Gosamyr's family are in their cocoon stage and Spyder intends to force them out and kill them to use their bodies to make valuabletextiles. Exiting their cocoons long before their time, the creatures grow with every passing minute and threaten to destroy the planet and its solar system. To prevent this, Lila apparently teleports them and herself into the Sun. Now orphaned, Gosamyr nonetheless accepts that Lila's killing her family was necessary.^[200]

Magik then uses her own teleportation powers to get the New Mutants and Gosamyr away from the planet and intoLimbo, only to find themselves trapped there. Gosamyr remains on the fringes, using her emphatic power to keep the demons away from her. She no longer actively manipulates her companions, and though Warlock remains suspicious of her,^[205] New Mutants co-leaderMirage has forgiven her earlier misdeeds.^[206]

Gosamyr helps out clearing the damage aftera demonic invasion of Manhattan. She uses her powers to help relieve the pain of male patients in a local hospital.^{[volume & issue needed]} More controversially, she helps the kids fromPower Pack reconcile with their parents who, in the course of fighting an enemy, discovered that their children had super-powers which they had kept secret from them. The parents suffered a nervous breakdown as a result, but Gosamyr convinces them that their children are still normal.^[202] (This "cover-up" was highly criticized in the readers'letters column.^{[citation needed]})

Gosamyr and her companions decide to take up residence in the spacecraftShip, the ally and mobile headquarters ofX-Factor. Upon scanning Gosamyr, Ship recognizes her species and tries to kill her. Though the New Mutants fight Ship to a standstill in her defense, the incident convinces Gosamyr that her nature makes her too much of a danger to the New Mutants and their friends. Ship informs her of a planet ofmystics who might be able to teach her to curb her nature and provides her with a spacecraft with which to go there. Resolved to not cause any more harm to her friends, Gosamyr takes Ship's suggestion and leaves Earth.^[207]

While in the larval stage, Gosamyr possesses wings that allow her to glide over short distances. She can also become invisible once she wraps herself in them. She also possesses some empathic control over males, which she mostly uses to seduce or bring about conflict.

The pupal stage of Gosamyr's species lasts for millennia, during which they become exceptionally mature of spirit and gain great size and strength, enough to destroy a whole solar system. In adult form they are gentle and solitary.^[200]

Grendel, also known as theSymbiote Dragon, is a character appearing inAmerican comic books forMarvel Comics. The character first appeared inVenom (vol. 4) #1 (May 2018), and was created byDonny Cates andRyan Stegman.

Grendel is asymbiote created byKnull billions of years in the past, sent out into the cosmos alongside its brethren to destroy and devour everything they came across. Arriving on Earth in the 6th century, it was subdued by Thor and imprisoned in a glacier, where it is exhumed byS.H.I.E.L.D. centuries later. Lying dormant for several decades, Grendel is indwelled by Knull and rampaged through New York, but is ultimately defeated byEddie Brock /Venom.^[224]

Dark Carnage, also simply known asCarnage, is another offshoot of the Grendel symbiote. It initially bonded with the damaged form ofCletus Kasady /Carnage due a cult worshiping symbiote using Grendel's remnants which was stolen from theMaker.^[225] He consumed the various symbiotes for his own cult,^{[226][227][228]} such as Lee Price / Maniac, who is theMania symbiote's host.^[229] His form as Dark Carnage is a thirteen-foot-tall skeletal monster with Knull's spiral on its forehead and a white dragon/spider emblem on his chest, and effectively is a demigod possessing power far beyond what a regular symbiote bestows its host, due to his connections to Chthon through the curse of the Darkhold and Knull through Grendel.^[230] Dark Carnage fightsPeter Parker / Spider-Man and Brock, but is surprised by theHulk.^[231][232] Caught off-guard by Parker's various allies, Dark Carnage tried to use Dylan Brock andNormie Osborn as hostages before Brock cut Kasady's corpse in half which also reawakened Knull in the process.^[233] One of the splintered versions bonded toMiles Morales / Spider-Man as a unique six-armed symbiote.^[234]

Afterwards, Devil Carnage assimilated Venom while tormenting Eddie and Dylan before being separated and defeated yet bonding to a great white shark to escape.^[235]

Carnage bonded to a great white shark to escape from the Isla de Huesos, and prowled the ocean for several months as the "red king of darkness". Eventually it stumbled upon a boat full of whalers and seizing the opportunity, Carnage catches one of the whalers and bonds to him, climbs aboard and prepares to slaughter the crew, intent on taking its place as the Red Right Hand of the King in Black, however, Knull is killed by Brock which causes the symbiote dome encasing Earth to shatter into countless symbiotes. Through the symbiote hive-mind, Venom is the new god of the symbiotes and calls out to Carnage who snarls to get out of his head. As symbiotes rain from the sky onto the ship and into the ocean, they bond to the crew of the ship and state that they are Venom, leaving Carnage shocked and incredulous. Manifesting an arm-blade, Carnage snarls as Venom states that Knull is dead. As Carnage sinks back into the ocean, Eddie says Carnage is not welcome in the reformed Hive and sentences to execution. Countless symbiote-controlled sharks began swarming Carnage and devouring in a feeding frenzy until the symbiote completely disappears in the darkness of the ocean.^[236]

Following the confrontation with the new King in Black, a piece of the symbiote survived and chooses a fish for a host and then attacks a shark. It eventually moves up the food chain and arrives on a fishing boat and begins again a killing spree. Inspired by what Eddie had done, Carnage formulated a new plan to make a comeback using the power Knull had bequeathed it to create a rival Hive with itself as its nexus. Carnage slowly made its way back to New York – restoring itself by devouring everyone it came across en route. Once back in Manhattan, Carnage bonded to Senator Arthur Krane to run a campaign to get Earth rid of aliens, both the good and bad type, and is working withAlchemax and theFriends of Humanity. Carnage also began to infect many symbiotes, such asPhage,Lasher,Riot andAgony.^[237] Once all his soldiers were in place, Carnage killed on live television at one of his rallies and directed his Hive to slaughter as many attending civilians as possible, but was opposed byFlash Thompson,Silence,Toxin and Sleeper. Carnage assimilated Extrembiote – a symbiote-dragon mutated by Extremis – while abandoning Krane, transforming into a symbiote-dragon and flying away.^[238]

Born of a mixed French-Algerian heritage, she is the latest in her bloodline to inherit the sword. The character was conceived by writer Al Ewing and the full design was developed byKabam art director Gabriel Frizzera and artist Paco Medina.^[266][267] She first appeared in the second volume ofContest of Champions released October 7, 2015 (cover dated December 2015).^[268] Shortly after, she made her debut in the gameMarvel: Contest of Champions.^[269] In 2017, Guillotine was briefly featured in the titleU.S.Avengers.

Jebediah was a mutant like his siblings, with the power of producing blasts of electrical plasma out of his eyes. Unlike his siblings, he never associated with theX-Men and was depowered onM-Day.

Melody Guthrie is the younger sister ofCannonball,Husk, andIcarus. Her father dies early in her life due toblack lung disease. Melody is seen in multiple issues of the New Mutants, living at theirKentucky farm, as her brother Cannonball is a featured character in that series. Many stories focus on his home life.

Melody sees her siblings develop powers one by one. Her brother Sam is the first, followed by Paige (aka Husk). Husk comes to the attention of the alien entities known as thePhalanx; they come to the farm, endangering the lives of the entire family, kidnapping Paige, and destroying the family home. Much later Josh/Icarus manifests his wings during a music festival; the resulting chaos draws all the Guthries into a brutal feud with another family. Melody then develops the ability to produce an aura that allows her to fly. After this manifestation, she becomes known as Aero. She then joins Xavier's team as a student during a time when Cannonball is one of the supporting staff. At one point he rebukes her for showing off in front of a helicopter news crew.

Due to the effects ofScarlet Witch going insane in the Marvel crossover event "Decimation", a majority of Earth's mutants lose their powers. Aero and her brotherJeb both lost their powers following the events of M-Day. She doesn't quite understand how this affects her. In an attempt to prove to one of her teachers,Emma Frost, that she still has her powers, she leaps off of a roof; another teacher,Hank McCoy, managed to save her from injury.

Melody moves back home with her mother, Lucinda, and her other siblings. She later appears as an astral projection caused by Emma Frost during a confrontation with Ms. Marvel. She and her mother later receive a call from Emma Frost concerning the death of Melody's brother,Joshua, who was killed in an attack on Xavier's.^[272]

Melody was allowed to live in the newly created mutant-only nation of Krakoa because she was a former mutant and a member of the Guthrie family, known for their strong X-Gene. There, she became the first to undergo a novel ritual called the Crucible, a trial of combat against Apocalypse to earn the right to die and be resurrected by the Five, to regain her lost powers. In front of a large ensemble of mutants, she was brutalized by Apocalypse, who urged her to give up and ask to heal instead of persisting in the fight. Melody refused and was killed by Apocalypse, passing the trial of Crucible. She later claimed her prize when she was resurrected by the Five, with her powers being restored.^[273]
