Eli Bard, also known as Eliphas, is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Christopher Yost, Clayton Crain and Craig Kyle, Bard is a member of the Purifiers and an enemy of the X-Men.

Eli Bard was born "Eliphas" at the height of the Roman Empire. He was recognized as an outstanding soldier until a spear injury ended his military career. For a while he worked unsuccessfully as a poet until he met Aurelia, one of the most powerful women in Rome. He soon married her and achieved a position in the Senate. As a well-respected senator, he was known as a great orator and a friend to the army. His wife left him for a general named Mascius and conspired to give Mascius his seat in the Senate.^[26]

Left with nothing, Eliphas was approached by Selene, who offered him immortality in exchange for helping her kill and absorb every soul in Rome. Eliphas drew pentagrams and performed rituals at several locations in the city, but warned a small girl to get her family out. The girl's father alerted the authorities and Eliphas and Selene were captured before the spell could be carried out. Just before they were burned at the stake, Selene killed the guards. She cursed Eliphas for his perceived betrayal with an eternal life of torture, turning him into a vampire-like creature. Eliphas was buried alive for 700 years until a farmer discovered him in his field. Eliphas killed the farmer with a swift bite to the jugular. He spent the next several hundred years searching for Selene. He ran into the ancestral Apache tribe of Warpath. They recognized him as a vampire but could not stop him from wiping out almost the entire tribe.^[26]

Eliphas, der irgendwann seinen Namen in „Eli Bard“ geändert hatte, fand Selene schließlich in Nova Roma , wo sie als Göttin verehrt wurde. Obwohl sie auf ihm lastete, liebte Bard sie immer noch und erkannte, dass er ihr ein Opfer darbringen musste, bevor er sich ihr nähern konnte. Später schloss er sich den Purifiers an, einer Anti-Mutanten-Terrorgruppe. Während dieser Zeit arbeitete er eifrig an der Verwirklichung ihrer Ziele. Heimlich hoffte er, Tausende von Seelen der Purifiers mithilfe desselben Rituals aus Rom zu opfern, um Selenes Aufmerksamkeit zu erlangen. Er half bei der Wiederbelebung von Bastion , doch der Android misstraute ihm, da er keine Aufzeichnungen über ihn hatte. Nachdem er gesehen hatte, wie Bastion einen Nachkommen von Magus umprogrammierte, änderte er seinen Plan und erweckte stattdessen die Leichen auf dem Friedhof des Apachenstammes wieder zum Leben, den er Jahrzehnte zuvor mit dem Technarch-Transmode-Virus, den er von einem Nachkommen von Magus absorbiert hatte, dezimiert hatte . Unter den wiederbelebten Körpern befanden sich auch die der Mutanten Caliban und Thunderbird (John Proudstar). Er stellte Caliban Selene vor und erklärte, er beabsichtige, Calibans Fähigkeit, Mutanten aufzuspüren, zu nutzen, um verstorbene Mutanten zu finden und sie wiederzubeleben, um eine Armee für Selene aufzustellen – ein Angebot, das sie annahm. ^{[ 26 ]}

Als Bard zu Proudstars Grab zurückkehrte, um ihn und Caliban wiederzuerwecken, erhoben sich die Geister von Proudstars Stamm, um die dort Bestatteten zu beschützen. Bard griff sie mit Selenes mystischem Messer an und verwandelte sie in einen Dämonenbären . Nach der Flucht ließ Bard die Klinge zurück, ohne zu ahnen, dass sie für Selenes Pläne von entscheidender Bedeutung war. Er wurde daraufhin nach Utopia entsandt, um sie zurückzuholen, und nahm dabei Warpath als Geisel. Als er mit der Klinge und der Geisel zu Selene zurückkehrte, tötete sie ihn mit einem Stich ins Herz. ^{[ 27 ]}

Black Box ( Garabed Bashur ), ehemals bekannt als Commcast , ist eine Figur aus den amerikanischen Comics von Marvel. Er ist ein Mutant und tritt gelegentlich als Superschurke auf . Sein erster Auftritt als Bashur war in Deadpool : The Circle Chase #2, sein erster Auftritt als Commcast in #3 und sein erster Auftritt als Black Box in Cable & Deadpool #13.

Garabed Bashur, ein gebürtiger Inder , ist ein Technopath mit der Mutantenfähigkeit, Daten aus elektronischen Medien jeglicher Art telepathisch abzurufen, zu interpretieren und zu speichern (im Wesentlichen eine hochwirksame Form der Telepathie ) . Er wurde von Professor Charles Xavier in dieser Fähigkeit ausgebildet , doch dieser wies Bashur zurück, nachdem er von dessen kriminellen Neigungen erfahren hatte.

Bashur nutzte das durch seine Kräfte erlangte Wissen, um ein kleines Vermögen anzuhäufen und wurde unter dem Decknamen Commcast Anführer einer kleinen Söldnertruppe , der Executive Elite. Die Söldner wurden angeheuert, um Daten aus Deadpools Besitz zurückzuholen. Obwohl die anderen Elites im Kampf fielen, überlebte Commcast, da nur ein Klonkörper getötet wurde. Einige Zeit später erwog Professor X, Bashur einzusetzen, um Daten wiederherzustellen, die beim Angriff der Phalanx auf die Systeme der X-Mansion verloren gegangen waren . Es ist jedoch unbekannt, ob Bashur Xavier tatsächlich half. Später wurde Bashur dabei beobachtet, wie er einem Opfer von Sabretooths Mordserie half, jemanden zu finden, der ihn beschützen konnte; in diesem Fall war es Maverick .

Als seine Klonanlage ein Problem entwickelte, das ihn daran hinderte, weitere Klone von sich selbst zu erstellen, schuf Bashur die Identität der Black Box. Mithilfe der Roboterrüstung vermied er direkte Konfrontationen und begann, seine Informationen an den Meistbietenden zu verkaufen. Er traf auf Deadpool und versuchte, ihn dazu zu bringen, seinen zeitweiligen Verbündeten Cable zu töten . Black Box, Cable, Deadpool, BAD Girls, Inc. , die Katze und Weasel suchten nach dem mysteriösen Dominus-Objekt, einem Computervirus , der Bashur helfen sollte, die riesigen Datenmengen zu durchsuchen, auf die er dank seiner Kräfte Zugriff hatte. Nachdem das Objekt in die Rand Corporation gelangt war, kämpften Rand-CEO Iron Fist und sein Partner Luke Cage gegen Cable und Deadpool. Schließlich spürten Cable und Deadpool den echten Bashur auf, doch nach einem Kampf mit Hunderten von Klonen von Makeshift und Rive konnte Cable Bashur schließlich überzeugen, sich ihm anzuschließen. ^{[ 143 ]} Kurz darauf ließ er sich auf Cables Inselgemeinde Providence nieder und fungierte dort als Leiter der Überwachung und Datenarchivierer.

Garabed Bashur wurde offenbar von Sabretooth getötet, nachdem Providence verwüstet worden war, weil Rogues X-Men- Team Hecatomb bekämpft und besiegt hatte. ^{[ 144 ]} Bashur überlebte, hegt aber immer noch einen Groll gegen Deadpool. ^{[ 145 ]}

Bashur besitzt die Fähigkeit, alle Arten elektronischer Daten und Übertragungen aktiv zu empfangen und in seinem Geist zu speichern. Dies geschieht passiv, ohne die reguläre Übertragung zu stören, und er kann elektronische Signale über große Entfernungen empfangen; selbst die Isolation in einem ländlichen Gebiet konnte ihn nicht vollständig von den Informationen abschirmen. Die Black Box verfügt über eine unendliche Speicherkapazität in seinem Geist und enthält alle Informationen, denen er je ausgesetzt war. Leider strömen diese Daten viel schneller in seinen Geist, als er sie bewusst erfassen kann. Obwohl die Informationen in seinem Geist vorhanden sind, benötigt er eine Kombination aus Meditation, Anstrengung und eiserner Willenskraft, um bestimmte Informationen gezielt abzurufen. Die Umleitung des Dominus-Ziels durch seine Black-Box-Rüstung schuf eine künstliche „Dateisuchfunktion“, die es ihm ermöglicht, Informationen nach Belieben durch einfache Konzentration abzurufen.

Black Box wird als ehemaliger Mutantengefangener des Camps Angel vorgestellt und schloss sich Kitty Prydes Widerstand in der Ultimate Marvel- Reihe Ultimate Comics: X-Men an . ^{[ 146 ]}

Ich bin böse. Ich werde – für alle, die ‚Ghost Rider‘ gelesen haben – in Blackout verwandelt. Der Teufel verwandelt mich in ihn, um meine Aufgabe zu erfüllen. Das gibt mir die Stärke, gegen Ghost Rider zu kämpfen, und die übernatürlichen Fähigkeiten, es mit ihm aufzunehmen.“ ^{[ 196 ]} Carrigan ist ein Söldner, Drogendealer und Waffenschmuggler, der von Roarke angeheuert wird , um Danny, den Sohn von Roarkes Ex-Freundin Nadya, zu entführen.

While Odin is ready to carry out the deed, Loki and Thor work together to stop him, recognizing Blake as their brother and someone who has suffered from being brought into their dysfunctional family. Nevertheless, Blake has caused a huge amount of suffering and remains dangerous, so Thor hands him over to Loki, who accepts the responsibility of dealing with Blake.

Siena Blaze is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character has appeared only in the X-Men line of comics. Her power is to manipulate the electromagnetic spectrum, but she has a very crude level of control, so every usage of this power causes an explosion massive enough to destroy a building. Introduced as a villain in the Marvel Universe, she later became a hero during her brief period in the Ultraverse. Following a long absence, the character returned in X-Force (vol. 3) #22.

Siena Blaze starts out as a member of the thrill-seeking Upstarts, a group of mutants who hunt other mutants for sport. She participates in a single confrontation with members of the X-Men, specifically Cyclops, Professor X, and Storm in Antarctica.^[207] She confronts Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and Rachel Summers of Excalibur.^[208] Blaze proves formidable in both encounters, fighting to a draw each time, before parting ways.

She attempts to kill the villain Reaper for the relatively small number of points it would bring her in the 'Upstarts' mutant-slaying competition. The fight is broken up by Amber Hunt, a being from another dimension. Her problems suck in Reaper and Blaze to her home world, where she discovers her powers have somehow been diminished to half of their normal strength. The two join up with the Exiles. Other members include the Juggernaut and Warstrike, a mercenary who dreams of the future.^[209] Blaze adapts to the role of hero. For example, she helps rescue two strangers from the grip of an energy entity.^[210] She feels a strong attraction to team leader Warstrike. Later, she participates in the battle against the Alien robot Maxis.^[211] When the Tulkan armada arrives to Earth, they reveal that they were the ones who caused the damage in New York attributed to the Exiles.

After the battle, the robot Maxis opens a portal and she, the Black knight, and Reaper return to the Marvel Universe, where Siena Blaze regains her full power.^[212]

Blaze is later captured and executed by Weapon X.^[213] In X-Force #22, Blaze is resurrected via the Transmode virus to serve as part of Selene's army of deceased mutants. Under the control of Selene and Eli Bard, she takes part in the assault on the mutant nation of Utopia.^[214]

Determined not to follow in her parents' footsteps, Washington turns her back on the music industry as a teenager and enrolls as a student at the Xavier Institute under the tutelage of Gambit. At the Institute, Washington carries a strong academic record and responsibility, and is more interested in improving herself and her mutant abilities rather than participating in the social conflict between humans and mutants, of which the X-Men are typically involved.

As a member of Gambit's squad, the Chevaliers,^[215] Washington is forced to deal with the arrival of a new student, Foxx, and her infatuation with their squad instructor, despite being attracted to Foxx herself, indicating that Bling! is bisexual (confirmed in the X-Men: The 198 Files handbook). Bling!'s attraction toward Foxx ends after Foxx is revealed to be the shapeshifting Mystique, attempting to sabotage Gambit and Rogue's relationship.

Bling! retained her powers after M-Day, an event in which the Scarlet Witch casts a magic spell depowering over 90 percent of the mutant population. She later assists Havok's squad when O*N*E, a squad of government-run Sentinels arrive to protect the remaining mutant population seeking refuge at the Institute. She is also called upon to assist the senior X-Men teams when Apocalypse returns, particularly due to a lack of senior X-Men at the time. Despite being highly recommended by Rogue and Havok and having been offered a position on the New X-Men squad, Roxy reveals that although she has a knack for field missions, she is intimidated by the idea of being a full-time X-Team member, feeling uneasy about the danger involved. She contemplated leaving the institute with fellow student Onyxx for fear that the O*N*E will soon be ordered to turn the school grounds into a mutant internment camp.^[216]

However, Roxy and Onyxx stay at the institute. Bling! is among the students captured by Belasco in Limbo during his attempt to locate Illyana Rasputin. She is returned to the school after he is defeated.^[217] When the school is shut down and the X-Men disband after the events of Messiah Complex, the X-Men move to San Francisco and set up a new base in California. Bling! follows and rejoins the school, helping to control rioting surrounding "Proposition X," legislature attempting to limit mutant reproduction that is being pushed by Simon Trask and his anti-mutant group, the Humanity Now! Coalition.^[218]

She later joins the mutant nation of Krakoa. She is a nominee in the 2022 X-Men vote, but lost to Firestar.^[219] She also joined the Fallen Angels.

Ejected, Dylan was unable to stop Alchemax forces from seemingly killing Venom.^[372]

Little of the Burglar's early history is known, but it is mentioned that even in his younger years he was a robber. Caught at some point in his life, the Burglar became the cellmate of an elderly gangster named Dutch Mallone. The Burglar learned from Dutch, who talked in his sleep, about a large possession of money the aged gangster had hidden in a suburban home, which the Burglar planned and schemed to get.^[429]

Wanting to learn the location of the home where Mallone's possession was, the Burglar robs a television station for information. Peter Parker, who had become a minor celebrity as Spider-Man, did not bother to stop him despite having the opportunity to do so. Learning that the house where Mallone's money had been hidden was the Parker house, the Burglar breaks into it searching for the money, killing Peter's uncle Ben Parker when he surprised the Burglar. Fleeing the scene, the Burglar is chased by police to an abandoned warehouse. A police officer outside Peter Parker's house told Peter Parker what happened and that his Aunt May is with a neighbor next door. Upon being told where the Burglar is, Spider-Man heads to the abandoned warehouse. Wanting to avenge the death of his Uncle Ben, Spider-Man attacks and knocks out the Burglar. It is then that Spider-Man realizes that the man is the thief he had encountered earlier at the television station. The Burglar was later left to be captured by the authorities by Spider-Man who upon realizing that he could have prevented Ben's death by simple humanitarian behavior in the earlier encounter decided to use his powers more responsibly, never again ignoring a crime if he could help it.^[430]

Years later, the Burglar had served his time and was released from prison despite being deemed mentally unstable by psychiatrists.^[431] Still searching for Mallone's treasure, the Burglar rented the old Parker home. After tearing it apart and finding nothing, he instead decided to interrogate Ben Parker's widow May Parker who now resided in a nursing home. The Burglar partnered with the nursing home's owner and head doctor Ludwig Rinehart, who was actually the supervillain Mysterio. The two took May captive and faked her death. The partnership later soured and the two criminals turned on each other, with Rinehart revealing his true nature before beating and imprisoning the Burglar. Escaping Mysterio, the Burglar retreated to the warehouse where he was first captured by Spider-Man—and where he has been holding May Parker captive. Spider-Man soon tracked down and confronted the Burglar to whom he revealed his true identity as Ben Parker's nephew. Believing that Spider-Man was about to kill him as revenge for murdering Ben, the Burglar suffered a fear-induced heart attack and died.^[429]

The Burglar had a daughter named Jessica Carradine, a photographer who had a brief relationship with Spider-Man's clone Ben Reilly. She believed the murder her father committed was an accident—that the gun Ben Parker was shot with was his own, which went off by accident during a fight—and that Spider-Man had murdered him to stop him from revealing the truth about his "innocence". After learning that Ben Reilly was Spider-Man,^[432] she first threatened to expose him with a photograph she took of him unmasked. Having witnessed Ben risk his life to save innocent people in a burning skyscraper, Jessica decided against it and gave him the photograph. She later visited Ben Parker's grave to apologize for her previous poor perception of him.^[433]

The Buzz (Jack "JJ" Jameson) is a character who first appeared in the MC2Spider-Girl comic book series. JJ is the grandson of J. Jonah Jameson and the son of John Jameson. First appearing in the aforementioned series, Buzz went on to have his own limited series.

Jack Jameson, or JJ to his friends, accompanied his grandfather, J. Jonah Jameson, C.E.O. of Jameson Communications (publisher of the Daily Bugle) to a demonstration of Project Human Fly. The project's goal was to create body armor that would grant the wearer superpowers. The staff of the project included Marla Jameson (Jonah's wife), biophysicist Dr. Sonja Jade and Robert Douglas, grandson of Robbie Robertson. It was then that JJ first met Buzz Bannon, a former Navy SEAL and the test pilot for the Human Fly armor. They quickly became friends. While JJ and Buzz were in the gym, Buzz received a message that he needed to attend a meeting about the Human Fly project, but it was a trap.

Sonja Jade turned out to be a traitor who took Marla, Jonah Jameson and Buzz Bannon hostage and was stealing the project files and armor. While her minions went to retrieve the armor, JJ and Richie Robertson discovered what was happening and triggered a fire alarm. Buzz used the distraction to overcome most of his guards, but he was shot in the abdomen during the fight, while Richie was beaten unconscious. Buzz and JJ manage to escape and get to the armor. A few moments later, the Human Fly rescues the hostages and went after the villains, but Dr. Jade got away due to an explosion. Later on that evening Buzz Bannon's body was discovered. JJ had donned the armor, but he could not tell his grandfather (who, in a fit of rage, accused the Human Fly of killing Bannon). JJ knew that the body armor was the only way he could avenge Buzz's death. He kept the armor a secret from his grandfather and, in memory of his friend, called himself the Buzz. Richie, having seen Buzz die, agreed to help JJ with his armor from an electronics equipped van. With Richie's help, the Buzz was able to find and defeat Dr. Jade. The Buzz soon met Spider-Girl, but she was leery of him since she read in the Daily Bugle that he was a murderer. Buzz managed to convince her that he was not, and later helped her form a new team of New Warriors.
