Taegukgi (Tae-Won) is a character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. The character, created by Jed MacKay and Alessandro Vitti, first appeared inTaskmaster (vol. 3) #3 (February 2021).

Taegukgi is a South Korean superhero and field leader of theTiger Division, the country's superhuman response team, and is regarded as its greatest national hero.^[1] Due to exposure from the mystical Psylot Gem, Taegukgi possesses superhuman strength, durability, speed and stamina, flight, and the ability to shoot energy beams from his eyes.^[2][1][3] Taegukgi's strength and powers are noted to be on par withHyperion,Blue Marvel, and theSentry.^[1] Taegukgi also possesses superhuman longevity, as he still retains the health, appearance, and vitality of a young man in his prime well into the 21st century despite being born during theKorean War.^[3] Taegukgi is fluent in both his native Korean and English.^[4] Despite his strength and invulnerability, Taegukgi is highly susceptible to psionic abilities, including mind control, body possession, and psychic attacks.^[1][4]

Orphaned as a baby in 1950 during theKorean War, Tae-Won was adopted by a similarly orphaned young woman whom he saw as hisajumma. Despite her best efforts, a young Tae-Won fell in with a group of thieves, which eventually became a criminal gang as they got older. In 1978, when the gang broke into a government facility to steal valuable materials, Tae-Won was exposed to energies created by the Psylot Gem, anAsgardian artifact left behind in Korea byLoki many years ago, which was being experimented on by the South Korean government. Instead of harming him, the Psylot Gem granted Tae-Won superhuman abilities. After hisajumma helped him control his powers and showed him the pain and misery inflicted upon civilians by the gang he created, Tae-Won vowed to use his powers to help people in need and to atone for his criminal past, eventually becoming the nation's greatest superhero, Taegukgi.^[5]

WhenTaskmaster infiltrates Tiger Division's base to copyWhite Fox'skinesic signature, he is forced to flee when Taegukgi intervenes and nearly kills him with his heat vision. Despite this, Taskmaster still succeeds with his objective.^[2] As part of a coup, a criminal cult known as the Choi Faction employs Mongdal, a criminal with the ability to transfer his consciousness into the bodies of others, to possess Taegukgi and threatens to have him destroySeoul unless their demands are met. However, Mongdal double-crosses the Choi Faction and has Taegukgi kill them before possessing him into taking over the country. The Tiger Division is nearly defeated until their allyBlack Cat provokes Mongdal's consciousness into returning to his original body and kills him, freeing Taegukgi.^[1]

Taegukgi and the Tiger Division are sent to recover the Psylot Gem when it is stolen from its storage unit and track the theft to the mysterious MTO Corporation. The true leader of MTO is revealed to be Min-Jae, Taegukgi's childhood best friend and former partner-in-crime, who reveals the truth behind the Psylot Gem. Despite the efforts of the Tiger Division, Min-Jae steals Taegukgi's powers and seals them back in the Gem. At this moment, Min-Jae's benefactorDoctor Doom arrives to take the Gem's powers for himself, but Taegukgi convinces Min-Jae to help fight against Doom. Taegukgi is able to reclaim his powers from the Gem, which is destroyed during the battle; Doom leaves empty-handed while Min-Jae flees. Taegukgi's relationship with his teammates becomes strained due to him not disclosing his past to them, but they forgive him when he opens up about hisajumma.^[5]

Taegukgi travels toSanta Cruz, California, when the ghost of Wrenley Fischer, a telepathic serial killer who once terrorized Seoul until his death twenty years ago, resurfaces and begins killing again. With the help ofGhost Rider, Taekguki is able toexorcise Fischer's spirit.^[4]

Tai is a character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. Tai was like a mentor for theNew Warriors in the first 25 issues of their first series.

Tai is an elderlyCambodian mystic who was indirectly responsible for the formation of the New Warriors. She was born into a cult called the Dragon's Breath. Her people derive mystical energy from a well inside their temple that was a nexus into various alternate dimensions. The temple is constructed around the nexus point where vast amounts of mystic energy are constantly released. Throughout the centuries, Tai's people absorb the energy from the well. In a plan called 'the Pact', they devise a detailed program of interbreeding, the goal of which is to enable each successive generation to tap more energy from the well than its previous generation; eventually, one generation would use that power to rule the world. Tai's generation is actually able to harness the energies of the well, and is led to believe that they are the ones to rule the world. Tai refuses to share powers and slays everyone in the cult, except six maiden brides and a series of temple guards.^[9]

During theVietnam War, a unit of American soldiers calling themselves the 'Half-Fulls' encounter the temple but are captured by Tai. Tai tells them the story of her people and that the six soldiers had to marry and procreate with the six maiden brides. All but one of them agree to do so (Daryl Taylor was already married).^[9] After their tour, the soldiers return home to America with their new brides, while Tai remains in Cambodia. Tai marries her only daughter, Miyami, to an African American soldier namedAndrew Chord. Miyami soon gives birth to two children:Silhouette and Aaron (Midnight's Fire). To prevent her children from being used as Tai's pawns, Miyami fakes their deaths as well as her own, and leaves her children to be raised in Manhattan'sChinatown.^[10]

Chord, thinking his family is dead, becomes a mercenary and travels the world. Eventually, he arrives in Cambodia and renews his association with his mother-in-law. Together they return to America. Tai worries her son-in-law fears his place in the Pact is moot now that his son is dead. Tai urges Chord to resume his friendship with army buddy Daryl Taylor (the one who rejected the Pact). Chord does so and becomes godfather to Daryl and his six-year-old son Dwayne. Tai then demands Chord kill Daryl and his wife Melody; Chord does so, unwillingly, in front of Dwayne. Dwayne is then introduced to Tai and his memory is wiped.^[11] Chord and Tai raise Dwayne and train him to be a crime fighter. They also manage Daryl's charitable organization, the Taylor Foundation, often using it to finance questionable activities around the world. Dwayne becomesNight Thrasher and is briefly part of a team with Tai's grandchildren Midnight's Fire and Silhouette. At the time, the three are unaware of the relevant biological relationship. Later, Night Thrasher finds the New Warriors. Tai influences the group from behind the scenes. In "New Warriors" #8, she bets the safety and security of the Warriors on a conflict withEmma Frost. Frost commands her own team of super-powered teens to bring back one of the Warriors, who used to be her student; however, Frost's team is defeated.^[12]

Tai hopes to sacrifice the New Warriors to the well instead of the super-powered members of theFolding Circle (the children born from the mating of the soldiers and the brides). Tai and Chord's illegal business dealings are exposed, and Chord attempts suicide rather than admit the truth. While in the hospital, his wife Miyami visits him. Tai discovers this and is enraged that her daughter had faked her death and the deaths of her grandchildren. Tai murders her daughter in a fit of anger. Tai also uses her power to heal Chord of his brutal injuries, though she is unable to completely restore him.^[13]

Tai later returns to Cambodia. She is soon followed by the Folding Circle, now led by theLeft Hand, a rogue-powered villain influenced by the energies of the well. The New Warriors also follow in an Avengers'Quinjet. Tai attempts to sacrifice both groups to the well. They work together to try and save each other, but it all comes down to Dwayne, who uses anUzi submachine gun to injure and seemingly kill Tai. Both she and the Left Hand are sucked down into the well.^[11]

Tai has appeared a couple times since her death in time travel storylines. In a storyline inDarkhawk, Tai's granddaughter Silhouette is sent back in time to stop Tai from murdering Miyami.^[14] In a storyline in theNight Thrasher comic book series, Silhouette is sent back in time to Tai's childhood, where she encounters Tai and her peers as children in the cult. The five-year-old Tai tells Silhouette she can send her home if Silhouette will murder one of her rivals. Silhouette refuses and murders her grandmother as a child.^[15]

Thus, Valentino created Talon, influenced bySteve Englehart's take on theBeast during his time with theAvengers.^[16] Valentino later stated that Talon "wasn't gay, as some people thought. I thought it would lighten things up to have a happy-go-lucky screw-up on the team since, when looked at properly, the Guardians were not a superhero team, but rather a light army."^[17]

Born ofAnnihilation's forced breeding of capturedArakkiimutants and Amenthi Daemons, the sadistic Tarn became a "genomic mage," using his powers to physically reshape other mutants and grant them new abilities, inspiring the fearful loyalty and worship of those that survived and forming the Locus Vile.^[28][29] Following Arakko's subjugation by the Annihilation-possessedGenesis, Tarn, aided by his loverIsca the Unbeaten and his Vile School omnipaths, monitored the Arakkii populace, detecting rebellious thoughts and imprisoning and torturing those who refused to submit to Annihilation.^[30][31] He also claimed a seat on theGreat Ring of Arakko and defended it from numerous challengers.^[32]

During theX of Swords tournament, Tarn and his Locus Vile encountered theHellions on their mission to Arakko to sabotage the Arakkii swordbearers. Discovering that their leaderMister Sinister had actually come to collect Arakkii mutant genes and subsequently enraged when Sinister stole samples from himself and his Locus Vile, Tarn and his allies attacked, killingWild Child,Nanny and Orphan-Maker, and Sinister (secretly a clone of the real Sinister). The remaining Hellions escaped with the stolen genetic samples.^[28]

Though he mutated and depowered her, Storm managed to get close enough to pierce Tarn's chest with a dagger. Tarn conceded the duel, restoring Storm and dropping the issue of revenge against Sinister.^[29]

To secure influence over the Great Ring,Abigail Brand convincedVulcan to challenge Tarn for his seat.^[36] Though they negated each other's powers, Tarn proved stronger and killed Vulcan. Immediately,Magneto challenged Tarn, whileSunspot secretly tricked Isca into wagering against him.

Tarn's soul remained in the Waiting Room, opting to wait for resurrection rather than proceeding to true death in the Well Beyond Worlds.

Tarot is able to generate animated constructs composed of tangible psionic energy based on the two-dimensional figures on thetarot cards she carries. She can create multiple human-sized figures and even massive flying constructs without any apparent strain. Tarot's psionic constructs are superhumanly strong and durable, resistant to physical damage, temperature extremes, and certain forms of energy. She later developed the ability to apply certain characteristics on the images in her cards upon herself, such as Death's shroud and scythe, thereby increasing her effectiveness in battle. These constructs are completely under Tarot's mental control and will dissipate on her command or if she is rendered unconscious. It is unknown if she is completely reliant on tarot cards to fuel her generative power, or if she can create constructs from other imagery.

Tarot also apparently possesses some degree of precognitive ability, being able to accurately predict events in the near or distant future through reading of her cards.^{[citation needed]}

Thor is the name of several characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Thorn (Salvatore "Sal" Carbone) is a character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics, primarily as an enemy of thePunisher, created by writerChuck Dixon and artistJohn Romita Jr. He first appeared inThe Punisher War Zone #1 (March 1992).

Wanting to eliminate the Carbones, acrime family situated inBrooklyn, thePunisher infiltrates the group with the aid of a petty criminal namedMickey Fondozzi. The Carbones are led byJulius, whose second in-command is his brother Salvatore (Sal).^[73] While Julius welcomes Mickey and the Punisher (who had adopted the alias "Johnny Tower") into the organization, Sal dislikes the two, and is suspicious of their motives, correctly assuming that they are sabotaging the Carbones' operations.^[74]

Needing leverage to get Sal off of their backs, Mickey and the Punisher spy on him, and discover that he is consorting with rival Asian gangsters. Enraged by Sal's treachery, Julius orders Mickey and the Punisher to dispose of him, so the two drug Sal and drive him out toNew Jersey. Due to his frequentnarcotics usage, Sal is able to resist the drugs he was given and tries to flee, but falls through the ice on a frozen lake. Believing Sal to be dead, Mickey and the Punisher leave.^[75]

Sal survives, and regains consciousness in a hospital, which he escapes from.^[76] Recalling nothing about his past other than vague details about the people who tried to kill him, Sal robs and murders a man, and begins making his way to La Isla de Tiburones Durmientes, where Julius' daughter is about to marry aSicilian mobster. When a motorist he flags down asked for his name, Sal, unable to remember, replies by saying "Thorn", a word he glimpsed on abillboard.^[77]

After swimming to La Isla de Tiburones Durmientes, Thorn runs amok, killing his niece's fiancé and Julius, among others. The Punisher stops Thorn's rampage by shooting him repeatedly and knocking him into the ocean.^[78][79] Thorn recovers, and later murders a trio of drug dealers for their car, which he drives to New York. Thorn finds and attacks Mickey and the Punisher, but the fight is interrupted by the boss of the dealers Thorn killed. After massacring the head dealer and his underlings, Thorn and the Punisher continue their brawl, which ends when the Punisher throws Thorn off of a bridge and onto a moving truck. The truck brings Thorn to New Jersey, and he is last seen wanderingNewark.^[80]

For unexplained reasons, nearly dying in a frigid lake left Thorn unable to feel pain, allowing him to sustain severe injuries (such as multiple gunshots) without being deterred. Thorn's brush with death also eliminated his need for basic human necessities such as food, water, air, and protection from the elements, and made him repellent towards animals such as sharks.

In a 2009 interview withComic Book Resources, illustratorDale Eaglesham expressed fondness for the character, stating "I spent some time in the Punisher department from 93 to 95 and I really enjoyed working with Frank Castle. However, there's another Punisher-related character that I feel I have unfinished business with: Sal Carbone, the man they call Thorn. He went toe-to-toe with Castle and survived because he thinks he's already dead. He's insane, and he would actually make a great Punisher! Maybe I can talkEd Brubaker into that one; I think he would love it."^[81]

Thorn ranked #4 onThe Robot's Voice list "The 8 Worst Punisher Villains Ever".^[82]

Originally, Titannus was aSkrull who, lacking shape-shifting abilities, became one of the subjects of theSuper-Skrull project, giving him enhanced strength and a healing factor that would allow him to recover from any wound. Leaving his world, he eventually arrives on the planet Trellion, whose inhabitants brainwash him to act as their agent. Believing that he was fleeing an oppressive ruler, he escapes with the woman he loves (against her will) and travels to Earth, seeking the aid of heroes to revolt against Trellion.^[142] After his spacecraft crash lands in Japan, Titannus observes the heroes of Earth for several months and attempts to "gain their attention" by destroyingTokyo, defeating the premier superhero of Japan (Sunfire) and killing countless soldiers of the Japanese army.^[143]
