Originally one of those goofy, minor Ani-Men thugs from Marvel Comics. Later became an animalistic demonic undead no-goodnik, because it was a Tuesday.

Spear

A minor 1970s Cage enemy with a speargun. As of December of 2019 the illustrations were redone, the biography updated, and the text polished. I also wanted to add M&M stats but he already had those. Foiled again !

Slasher

A strange and likely robotic saboteur and enforcer. An agent of... the Assassin ! As of October of 2019, added sharp-edged M&M stats.

(Part #3)

The last third for our profile of the Doomsday Man and Kerwin Korman, who form an Avengers-class Marvel Comics villain. With links to the two previous bits, of course. He's obscure, but he's powerful. And he has an interesting history that is intertwined with Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)’s and has quite a few hooks.

Blackout

(Marcus Daniels)

That's the Marvel Comics one, specifically the one with the Darkforce powers. He's oddly cool, if underused. As of August of 2019, this profile received grimdark M&M stats, plus text and illustrations improvements. Excelsior!
