Sometime later with her being immortal, Hippolyta decided to restart her Bacchae cult in order to advance her standing in modern day. She did this by initiating female street people and runaways, providing them with weapons and fighting skills. This modern day Bacchae also became former associates of the Golden Horde and once sought vengeance on the Invisible Woman for interfering with their affairs. They then formed a private New York club called Tartarus as a front based in the heart of Wall Street.

The Bastards of Evil are young supervillains who claim to be the disavowed children of some of the supervillains. They consist of Aftershock, (who claims to be Electro's daughter), Ember (who claims to be Pyro's son), Mortar (who claims to be Grey Gargoyle's daughter), Singularity (who claims to be Graviton's son), and Warhead (who claims to be Radioactive Man's son). They came together not only to rob a bank but to come up with plans to take over the world. The Bastards of Evil committed acts of terrorism and recorded it with floating robotic cameras. Warhead destroyed a part of Ohio which Gravity stopped, but Warhead escaped. The Bastards of Evil end up running afoul of the Young Allies. During the fight, Warhead exploded on Ground Zero (the former site of the World Trade Center) presumably killing himself and thousands of bystanders.[34]
The Bastards of Evil meet up with their mysterious benefactor. When Firestar and Gravity fight Electro, he ends up defeating them. He let them live so that they can spread the message that he doesn't endorse Aftershock and the Bastards of Evil's terrorism. Electro also says that they should look up how and when he got his powers on the internet and there no way a girl of Aftershock's age could have been conceived after he got his powers. It is impossible for him to be Aftershock's father.[35]
Aftershock informs the Bastards of Evil that they have orders from their superior to Araña and Nomad. When Firestar and Gravity arrive at the edge where Warhead exploded, they are ambushed by the Bastards of Evil.[36] During the Young Allies' fight with the Bastards of Evil, the Young Allies end up meeting their leader who calls himself Superior and claims to be the son of the Leader.[37]
It is soon revealed during the battle that the other Bastards of Evil members were originally teenagers who were kidnapped by Superior, exposed to various forms of radiation, given personal narrative implants, and false memories of their forgotten childhood as the children of those supervillains. When Araña and Nomad are kidnapped, the Bastards of Evil plot to kill them on national television. When the Young Allies arrived and convinced the Bastards of Evil members to in-fight themselves, Aftershock remembers her true identity of Danielle Blunt and causes her to attack Singularity who remembers his true identity of Devin Touhy. Singularity turns on Superior while the other Bastards of Evil members question their true identities. This gave the Young Allies the opportunity to defeat them after Superior uses his telekinetic abilities to rip Singularity in half. Superior and the remaining Bastards of Evil were incarcerated at the Raft. While in his cell, Superior plans to find a way to escape incarceration, wipe the memories of the remaining Bastards of Evil, and create "new siblings" to serve him.[38]
During the "Fear Itself" storyline, Aftershock and Ember were seen escaping from the Raft after Juggernaut in the form of Kuurth: Breaker of Stone leveled it.[39] Both were fighting against the students and teachers from the Avengers Academy alongside Icemaster, but were subdued by Jeremy Briggs.[40]

The Death-Throws are a team of supervillains that first appeared in Captain America #317 (May 1986) and were created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary.[86] Introduced as enemies of Hawkeye, the Death-Throws consists primarily of jugglers who each use various juggling props as weapons.
Bombshell and Oddball first appeared in Hawkeye Vol.1 #3-4 (1983) and battled the title character. They later joined the juggling supervillain team known as the Death-Throws to face Hawkeye in the pages of Captain America #317 (1986) and Avengers Spotlight #23-25 (1989). Oddball battled Hawkeye once again in Hawkeye: Earth's Mightiest Marksman #1 (1998). The Death-Throws later appeared in Union Jack Vol.2 #1-2 (2006) and had cameo appearances in Captain America #411-414 (1993) and Avengers: The Initiative #27 (2009).The Death-Throws have also had notable entries in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol.2 (Deluxe Edition) #3 (1985) and Dark Reign Files #1 (2009). The members of the Death-Throws have made various minor solo appearances. Bombshell has appeared in Captain America #388-392 (1991), Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #12 (1992), Web of Spider-Man Annual #8 (1992), New Warriors Annual #2 (1992) and Villains for Hire #1-4 (2011). Oddball has featured in Captain America #395 (1991), Guardians of the Galaxy #28 (1992) and Wolverine Vol.2 #167 (2001). Knickknack has had cameo appearances in Thunderbolts #53 (2001), Wolverine Vol.3 #26 (2005) and Dark Reign: The Hood #1 (2009). Crossfire's robotic army of Death T.H.R.O.W.S. have appeared in Hawkeye & Mockingbird #2-5 (2010) and The Heroic Age: Villains #1 (2011).
The Ringleader and the Healey brothers (Oddball and Tenpin) came together to form the juggling-themed supervillain group, the Death-Throws. Knickknack was later recruited as the fourth member of the group. Oddball, given to his eccentric behaviour, quit the Death-Throws and branched out on his own.[87] Oddball was hired, along with Bombshell, by Crossfire to battle Hawkeye and Mockingbird. The two supervillains subdued the heroes and delivered them to Crossfire. Later, when Hawkeye had managed to escape, Bombshell, Oddball and Crossfire were defeated and handed over to the authorities.[88] Bombshell and Oddball were broken out of prison by Oddball's brother, Tenpin, and became members of the Death-Throws.[87] Oddball was contacted by Crossfire to break him out of prison. The Death-Throws took the job and were successful in their mission. But when Crossfire couldn't pay them for their services, the Death-Throws held him for ransom to lure Hawkeye into an ambush. The team were later defeated by Hawkeye, Mockingbird and Captain America.[89] Sometime later, Crossfire placed a bounty on archer's right arm as he attempted to gain revenge against Hawkeye. The Death-Throws (along with the Brothers Grimm, Bobcat, Bullet Biker, Mad Dog, and Razor Fist) looked to cash in on the reward. The group, along with the rest of the supervillains, were defeated by Hawkeye, Mockingbird and Trick Shot.[90] Johnny Guitar and Doctor Sax, who were minor supervillains known for battling Dazzler, later applied for membership into the Death-Throws. However, the two music-themed supervillains were quickly rejected on the basis that they couldn't juggle.[91]
Bombshell underwent a genetic experiment to gain superpowers, gaining the ability to fire explosive energy blasts from her hands. Bombshell then joined an all female team of supervillains called the Femizons. The team were later defeated by Captain America. Bombshell's experimental new powers soon faded.[92] Justin Hammer hired a number of supervillains (including Bombshell) to battle Spider-Man and the New Warriors.[93] Justin Hammer and the supervillains then allied themselves with the Sphinx[94] When Sphinx revealed his true intentions of total world domination, Bombshell panicked and fled.[95] After being seen playing a game of pool with 8-Ball in the Bar with No Name,[96] Oddball was recruited by Doctor Octopus to join his incarnation of the Masters of Evil. The team were quickly defeated by the Guardians of the Galaxy.[97] Oddball was later hired by Albino and Taskmaster to once again battle Hawkeye. He was defeated by the archer and the young Avengers recruits Justice and Firestar.[98] Oddball was later killed while taking part in the Bloodsport competition in Madripoor. He was slain in the first round of the tournament by a tribal warrior called the Headhunter.[99] S.H.I.E.L.D. reported that Knickknack was killed and resurrected to serve HYDRA and the Hand as part of their supervillain army. All the supervillains involved were released from the Hand's control and returned to normal.[100]
Orville Bock was hired by the Death-Throws to become the new Oddball, adopting the original Oddball's costume and trick juggling balls.[101] The Death-Throws, along with Crossfire, were hired by R.A.I.D to take part in a terrorist attack on London. The team attacked civilians from the top of Tower Bridge, but soon come into conflict with Union Jack and Sabra. Despite gaining the upper hand early in the battle, the Death-Throws and Crossfire were soon defeated. Bombshell, the last member of the team left standing, defused her bombs and surrendered.[102] The Death-Throws were among the supervillains researched by Quasimodo, on behalf of Norman Osborn, as potential villainous recruits for H.A.M.M.E.R. and the Initiative.[103] Knickknack later appeared as a member of Hood's crime syndicate.[104] Bombshell, along with her previous employer Crossfire, was hired to join Misty Knight's Villains for Hire team in a battle against the Purple Man.[105] During the "Devil's Reign" storyline, the Death-Throws members Ringleader, Bombshell, and Tenpin were shown as inmates of the Myrmidon. When 8-Ball offered to sit with them, they turn him down.[106]

(Techno Hybrid Remotely Operated Weapons Systems) are robotic constructs that obey only his commands and each carry a small capable arsenal concealed within their armored shells.[108] Crossfire used his Death T.H.R.O.W.S. to battle his old enemies Hawkeye and Mockingbird.[109]
Originally, the robotic Death T.H.R.O.W.S. were known as 'Magnum Z's'.[110] The Magnum Z's were fully automated smart soldiers created for the United States. But the US senate ceased their development when they realised that the Magnum Z's abilities were in conflict with the Geneva Convention. Crossfire acquired some of the defunct Magnum Z's to use in a plot to conquer the Isle of El Guapo,[111] then later adapted them for his own purposes.[108]

[edit]- The Inner Demons appear in Insomniac Games' Spider-Man video game, first released on the PlayStation 4 in 2018.
Institute of Evil
[edit]The Institute of Evil is a fictional organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The Institute of Evil existed in the Earth-712 universe and served as the Squadron Supreme’s arch-foes. The known members of the Institute of Evil included Ape-X (the leader), Doctor Decibel, Foxfire, Lamprey, Quagmire, and the Shape.
The Behavior Modification process invented by Squadron member Tom Thumb would prove to be the Institute of Evil's undoing. The Golden Archer used the machine to make fellow Squadron member Lady Lark obsessed with him. However, he couldn't stand her irrational behavior, so went for a walk and was captured by the institute. They tortured the Archer until he revealed the Squadron's new base of operations. They then kidnapped the Squadron's family members and attacked their headquarters. They began ambushing Squadron members and using the behavior modification machines on them as they returned from their missions. The Institute then brought the Squadron back to their lair where the Golden Archer and their captive family members were held. The Squadron attacked, revealing that Tom Thumb had designed the process not to work on Squadron members, and defeated the Institute completely.[153]
The Institute of Evil's members were subjected to the Behavior Modification process, altering their personalities. The former super-criminals all became elected to full membership in the Squadron Supreme and aided them in their efforts to conquer the world in order to forcibly turn it into a utopia.[154]
Some Institute members did not fare so well as members of the Squadron. Ape-X suffered from a psychotic withdrawal from reality and fell into a coma, due to her behavior modification process. After saving twenty factory workers from a gas leakage, Quagmire went into a coma. In the hospital, he was sucked into the hole in his brain that is a portal into the dimension from which his dark matter originates, and Doctor Decibel suffocated in Quagmire's extra-dimensional slime.[155]
In time, Squadron Supreme member Nighthawk objected to the extreme methods the Squadron was using to achieve its goals, and left the group. Nighthawk formed a rebel group, known as the America Redeemers, to oppose the Squadron's "benevolent" tyranny. The Redeemers included other enemies of the Squadron, expelled Squadron member the Black Archer, as well as unknown superheroes that infiltrated the Squadron to help take it down. With the help of Master Menace, the Redeemers were able to reverse the Behavior Modification of Foxfire, Lamprey, and the Shape and recruited them into his group. These three agents also remained in the Squadron as double agents.[156]
When the Redeemers finally confronted the Squadron Supreme, an all-out battle broke out. Lamprey tried to absorb Doctor Spectrum’s power, but Doctor Spectrum was able to overload Lamprey's power which killed Lamprey. Foxfire, who had long been in love with Doctor Spectrum, tried to gain his approval by betraying Nighthawk, to allow the Squadron to win the fight. She used her powers to kill Nighthawk by blasting his heart and causing a massive coronary. Foxfire was then killed by fellow Redeemer Mink, who had been in love with Nighthawk. The death of Nighthawk caused the Squadron members to realize that they had become the very thing that they had intended to oppose, and thus ended the fight.[157]
The Shape was the only former member of the Institute of Evil that eventually chose to side with the Squadron Supreme, finding happiness in his new calling.[158]

Nasty Boys
[edit]The Nasty Boys are a fictional organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are a group of mutants who serve as the strike force of Mister Sinister and consist of Gorgeous George, Hairbag, Ramrod, Ruckus, and Slab.
Self-proclaimed "Nasty Boy" Slab faced X-Factor member Strong Guy before the full team appeared.[175] The full team battled X-Factor in the next issue seemingly led by US Senator Steven Shaffran. Senator Shaffran (also known as Ricochet) was a mutant who has the ability alter probability in his favor. The Shaffran that appeared with the Nasty Boys was a disguised Mister Sinister who had taken the Senator's form in order to publicly discredit him as a mutant terrorist. Sinister tells Shaffran he did it because of the harm that would come to mutants if he became President of the United States. He also tells him that he has a personal interest in the safety of Havok and Polaris.[176]
The Nasty Boys were taken into custody following their first appearance and battle in Washington DC. Ramrod is subsequently deported from the US due to his immigrant status. Both Hairbag and Slab are rescued from prison by the Mutant Liberation Front. Sinister collects Hairbag from them, but Slab stays with the Mutant Liberation Front for several weeks to spend time with his sister Thumbelina.[177]
The five members of the Nasty Boys are reunited when Sinister orders them to capture and kill the former member of the Marauders, Malice. Malice interrupts the Hawaiian vacation of Havok and his girlfriend Lorna Dane (a.k.a. Polaris) in order to kill the latter mutant, whom she fears (at Sinister's request) she may be forced to bond to permanently. The Nasty Boys have a hard time controlling the situation, as Malice continues to jump back and forth between Alex and Lorna. She uses their considerable powers against anyone in her way. Both Alex and Lorna are willing to die in order to end Malice once and for all, and their combined willpower forces Malice to be stuck between them. This allows Sinister to trap her. The Boys get away, as their battle does not draw the attention of the local authorities until after their getaway.[178]
Later, Ruckus appears at a speech given by Senator Kelly in an attempt to assassinate the senator. The X-Men stop Ruckus, and he is placed in custody.[179] Ruckus was apparently able to evade custody as he was seen attending the X-Cise clinic as a client in the hope of receiving the mutant cure, however this was all a scheme by the Red Skull. Joined with Ramrod, Ruckus later travelled to England and attempted to rob banks but both were arrested,[180] and saved by the X-Men from a Terrigen Mist cloud about to hit their prison.[181]
Meanwhile, Slab, Ruckus, and Gorgeous George established a drug lab, harvesting and selling mutant growth hormone, until Psylocke attacked their lab, defeated the three in combat and shut down their operation.[182] The Nasty Boys were later hunted down and killed by the Upstarts, in order to lure out Cyclops and his ragtag team of X-Men to Washington Heights. After a brief moment of words, the two groups engaged each other in battle with the X-Men gaining the upper-hand.[183]

[edit]Omega Clan
[edit]The Omega Clan is a fictional organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Following the demise of Omega Red, a secret organization known as "The White Sky" which is specialized in growing and programming unique assassins to meet all their clients' expectations, were hired to create three "clones" from the remains of the original Omega Red. Each of these clones have different abilities from each other and they passionately hate X-Force just for the fact they were implanted with false memories to believe that X-Force members had killed their father.[189]
The Omega Clan is composed by:
- Omega Black – A female clone of Omega Red, she goes by the programmed name of Sylvia Engel Rossovich.[190][191] Omega Black's chest is implanted with five retractable Carbonadium tendrils which she can use to affect people with diseases, such as cancer.
- Omega White – A male clone of Omega Red, he has the power to create energy constructs similar to Omega Red's coils which he uses to drain the psychic energy and life force from his enemies. He's also able to render himself intangible, thus becoming immune to physical attacks.
- Omega Red II – A male clone of Omega Red, in fact he is the closest member in terms of appearance and powers to the original Omega Red.
When Wade Wilson tried to infiltrate the White Sky facility, he was discovered and battle the Omega Clan.[189] He was quickly backed up by fellow X-Force members: Wolverine and Nightcrawler. Both of them were tortured by the three clones, until Deadpool managed to stop them by sending his own White Sky creation: Alpha Achromic.[190]
Soon after that battle, the Omega Clan revealed itself as part of Daken's Brotherhood.[192]
The whole Brotherhood hid for a time in an underwater secret base,[193] in order to push Apocalypse's clone Evan Sabahnur into the Brotherhood's own Apocalypse.[194]
When X-Force infiltrated the base, Omega Black was the one along Daken and Blob of Earth-295 to stop Deadpool while he was trying to extract Evan. After being captured, Wade was inspected by Sylvia in order to remove his telepathic dampening device, and once Farouk had probed his mind, Omega Black was asked to kill Wade by filling his head with cancer.[195]
Intent on doing what was asked of her, she tried to finish the job by beating him up with a wrench, only stopping when she was asked to bring Evan to see Wolverine drowning, in order to push him to wear the Celestial Armor and ascend as Apocalypse. As Daken was beating him to death to make him reveal his nature as Wolverine, Omega Black stopped him and brought the boy back to the torture room with Deadpool, and then left, while Evan wore the Celestial Armor to end this.[196]
With the Celestial Armor on, Evan fought back and freed his friends, seemingly killing Omega Red in the process. Omega White tried to avenge his "brother" but Psylocke mind-controlled him in order to absorb the Shadow King's, and then erased Omega White's mind, leaving the Shadow King trapped in a brain-dead corpse. With the Brotherhood tore apart Black Omega was somehow able to escape the base. Omega White's body was later entrusted to Brian Braddock's care.[197]
It was revealed that Omega Red was able to survive Evan's attack and started a mercenary career, working for Roxxon.[198] When he clashed with Deadpool, he tried to have revenge on him for the false memories implanted on him.[199] After clashing with Deadpool numerous times, the mercenary convinced him that the memories of his past were false, and that just like him, Omega Red needed to realize he wouldn't be controlled by those who transformed them into monsters. Both called a truce, and Omega Red left Deadpool alone, unless he discovered he had actually murdered his family.[200]
Omega Black has since reappeared too, with the revelation that she had become a vessel for Shadow King which the Crimson Pirates were supposed to give to Tullamore Voge.[201]
In the "Return of Wolverine" mini-series, Omega Red appeared as a masked sniper at a work camp owned by Soteira. A revived Wolverine sees him shooting a fleeing scientist. Upon Wolverine returning fire, Omega Red shoots out the front tire of Wolverine's motorcycle.[202] While on the ocean, Omega Red and a revived Daken attack the speedboat that Wolverine and Ana are on. Omega Red is shot off the boat by Ana using the speedboat's harpoon gun.[203]

In the midst of the war in Subterranea when Mole Man went missing, Kala left for the surface to find help in fighting Mole Man's forces and she ran into Iron Man. Mole Man sent the Outcasts to bring Kala back to Subterranea. In addition, the Netherworlders sought to kill Kala for her past actions. Digger and Landslide assisted Iron Man in fighting off the Netherworlders who wanted Kala to become their leader again. She turned them down as she is right now interested in finding Mole Man.[209]

[edit]The S-Men is a fictional organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Its members include the Goat-Faced Girl, Dancing Water (the illegitimate daughter of Avalanche), Dangerous Jinn, Insect, Living Wind, Honest John, Mzee, and an unidentified monk. With the help of Red Skull and Arnim Zola, these people have gone through lengthy and painful genetic alterations involving mad science and magical artifacts in order to gain the powers they now possess (though some may have been born with their powers and others, such as Dancing Water, may in fact be mutants themselves). They first appeared after the Avengers vs. X-Men storyline where they attacked Rogue and Scarlet Witch near the grave of Professor X. The S-Men defeated Rogue and Scarlet Witch and managed to make off with Professor X's body while taking Rogue and Scarlet Witch as their captives.[226] The S-Men held Rogue and Scarlet Witch as prisoners of Red Skull as he fused part of Professor X's brain with his own. Rogue managed to absorb some of Dancing Water's powers to escape and look for Scarlet Witch.[227] Red Skull used Honest John to take the form of Odin in order to get Thor to help the S-Men attack the mutant race. Red Skull even used the Goat-Faced Girl to negate Wolverine's healing factor so that Thor can land a cataclysmic blow on him.[228] Scarlet Witch and Havok assist Captain America in fighting Red Skull until Dancing Water got him out of there. Afterwards, Captain America and Havok search for leads on where to find Red Skull and the S-Men.[229]

The organization is led by Killmonger and consists of Ulysses Klaue, Madame Masque, Tiger Shark, Princess Zanda, M'Baku, and several Wakandan civilians.
Shadow Initiative
[edit]The Shadow Initiative is the name of a fictional organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
It has been revealed that there is a special "black ops" team within the Initiative, answerable only to Henry Peter Gyrich and known as the Shadow Initiative. This team comprises Bengal, Trauma, Constrictor, Mutant Zero, and, for a time, the Scarlet Spiders who wore copies of the Iron Spider armor.[237]
The Initiative program denies all knowledge of a special Black Ops Team. There is no pardon on file for the super-villain known as the Constrictor. No record of any dealings with the Vietnamese national codenamed Bengal. Tony Stark cannot recall what became of his designs for the Iron Spider armor. And, most importantly, the Superhuman Armed Forces wishes to dispel all rumors of a 199th mutant. We repeat, there is no Mutant Zero. Mutant Zero does NOT exist. That is all.[238]
This Shadow Initiative was sent out by Henry Peter Gyrich during the "World War Hulk" storyline to free the Initiative members Rage, Cloud 9, Ultra Girl, Thor Girl, Slapstick and Hardball who were captured by Hulk's Warbound. This assignment showed Bengal to be a perfect field leader of this Shadow Initiative. The black ops group successfully rescues these captured trainees, while Trauma, their "secret weapon" tries to use his powers to scare the Hulk (becoming the Abomination, Juggernaut, Brian Banner, and Bruce Banner). He cannot beat the Hulk as he has no fear and the Hulk beats him into unconsciousness, leaving Terrance alive to pass the message on to the others. Trauma is later seen recuperating in the Initiative's medical bay.
It is later revealed that the Scarlet Spiders are clones of Michael Van Patrick (MVP), a deceased initiative recruit accidentally killed.[239] The Scarlet Spiders are later taken off the Black Ops team after revealing themselves to the public and placed with the other trainees.[240]
Gyrich called them to protect him from K.I.A., but they lost and one of the Scarlet Spiders was killed, and Constrictor was badly maimed. Mutant Zero saved Gyrich and Scarlet Spiders continued the battle for their brother.[241] After KIA was defeated, the two remaining Scarlet Spiders left the Initiative to join Counter Force, a team of former New Warriors led by Justice, while Constrictor was healed with two bionic hands.
During Secret Invasion, the Shadow Initiative stayed at Camp Hammond while most others at Camp Hammond went to fight the Skrulls in New York. Later the Skrulls used Camp Hammond as a base, which Ant-Man discovers, having stayed behind out of cowardice. The Shadow Initiative tries to assassinate the Skrull Queen Veranke, but is defeated and captured, except for Ant-Man. During this story it was revealed Mutant Zero is a red-haired woman.[242]
After Secret Invasion, Taskmaster is added by Gauntlet to the Black-Ops team as their field leader. The Shadow Initiative, joined by Komodo, is assigned to take down a HYDRA cell, led by former Initiative member Hardball, in Madripoor. After the mission briefing, Taskmaster senses something familiar about Mutant Zero and later confronts her. A fight ensues and Taskmaster goads Mutant Zero into revealing her true identity: Mary Walker.[243]
The Shadow Initiative is dropped into Madripoor by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. During the mission, Taskmaster, Constrictor, Bengal, Typhoid Mary and Komodo are confronted by Hardball, Scorpion and HYDRA agents. Komodo is shot with HYDRA changed S.P.I.N technology by Hardball, forcing the Shadow Initiative into a hasty retreat. They escape, but are forced to leave a depowered Komodo behind. Taskmaster calls off the mission in the light of HYDRA gaining S.P.I.N Tech. But before they can pull out of Madripoor, the Shadow Initiative learns that S.H.I.E.L.D. has since become defunct, leaving the team alone with no way out of the country. They then infiltrate HYDRA, send a wire for help, and continue their mission to capture Hardball and shutdown the HYDRA cell. During the fight, Typhoid Mary relapses into her dangerous personality and escapes, leaving the rest of the Shadow Initiative in trouble. But then help arrives as Ant-Man and H.A.M.M.E.R. agents. Hardball then surrenders himself to the Constrictor, citing that everything that he has done was to protect Komodo. Constrictor understands, given his similar relationship with his daughter, and arrests Hardball.[244]
Batwing graduates from the Initiative program and is assigned to the Shadow Initiative.[245]
During the "Dark Reign" storyline, Butterball, Ringer, Doctor Sax, Johnny Guitar, Badd Axe, Firearms, Slaughter Boy and Heavy Mettle (Barracuda, Blackwing, Riot, Stronghold and Warbow) join Bengal, Komodo and Batwing in a new look Shadow Initiative.[246] But as Norman Osborn already has a covert team in the shape of the Thunderbolts, the Shadow Initiative is turned into a "cannon fodder" unit, purposely sent on suicide missions, a fact that is hidden from the Shadow Initiative members. Before their first mission to take back Prison 42 from Blastaar's alien forces, Johnny Guitar overhears the Taskmaster and learns the Shadow Initiative's true purpose. After some consideration, he bravely goes through with the mission. But not before guaranteeing his family's compensation in the event of his death and deliberately injuring his best friend, Doctor Sax, washing him out of the Initiative and saving his life. During the siege to take back Prison 42, along with several other members of the Shadow Initiative, Johnny Guitar is killed in action. Also confirmed to be killed are Blackwing, Slaughterboy, and Firearms. Bengal, Komodo, Batwing, Butterball and the surviving members of the Shadow Initiative fight against the odds and take back prison 42. They are aided by Hardball, a Prison 42 detainee forced to join Blastaar's army, who suggests to Dr. Arthur Nagan that they should release Dragon Man, knowing that the creature would side with Komodo. Taskmaster, Constrictor, Penance, Living Laser and Scorcher arrive shortly after to finish the enemy. Bengal and the rest of the Shadow Initiative realized the true nature of their mission.[247]
Osborn orders members of the Shadow Initiative (Badd Axe, Ringer, and Warbow) to attack the Heavy Hitters after they secede from the Initiative. They help the other Initiative teams to defeat and capture the Heavy Hitters' leader, Prodigy. The attack upon Prodigy is then uploaded onto YouTube by Telemetry and Non-Stop to show the aggressive tactics employed by Osborn.[248]
Several members of the Shadow Initiative take part in the Siege of Asgard. During the battle, Warbow of Heavy Mettle is apparently killed by a hail of arrows.[249] Badd Axe and Ringer are among those defending Camp HAMMER when it is invaded by the Avengers Resistance.[250]

[edit]The Sinister Squadron is an organization that appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The Sinister Squadron is a Multiversal team that was founded by a mysterious person to make sure the Spider-Society is never formed.

In addition, they also made use of a spy. When they ambushed the Spider-Society, Green Goblin tells the rest of the Sinister Squadron that their master wants them all alive as Green Goblin defeats Ghost-Spider as different spider-base heroes are either defeated or subdued. Madame Web shows up demanding that the Sinister Squadron leave her house. Lady Araña rescues Madame Web from Green Goblin. She then works to get Madame Web to safety as she states that Web-Weaver stored the Great Web of Life and Destiny somewhere safe. Minutes later, Lady Araña, Hunter-Spider, Spider-Punk of Earth-138, Web-Weaver, Weapon VIII of Earth-72, Spider-Woman of Earth-332, and Spider-Cat of Earth-339 demand an explanation from Madame Web on who the Sinister Squadron are. Madame Web states that she doesn't know who the Sinister Squadron are as somebody is preventing her from using her powers to their fullest as she claims that they are the strongest Spider-Man villains from across the Multiverse. When the remaining spider-based heroes find Spider-Man 2099 of Earth-2099 being tortured by Halloween Jack, he breaks free and restrains Halloween Jack as he identifies Hunter-Spider as their spy. Hunter Spider grabs Araña and states that the best hunters know when to hunt alone and when to "bring their pack" as the rest of the Sinister Squadron arrives.[254]
The Sinister Squadron's mysterious leader watches on the monitor the attacks of the Sinister Squadron attacking different Earths and capturing loved ones like an unidentified reality version of Raptor capturing Aña Corazon's family on Earth-315, two Brotherhood of the Scriers members attacking George Stacy of Earth-65, an unidentified reality's version of the Jennifer D'Angelo's Goblin 2099 appearance making off with Gabriel O'Hara of Earth-2099, an unidentified reality version of Spider-Slayer Mark XVIII and an unidentified reality version of Silvermane attacking Mattea Murdock of Earth-138, Jefferson Davis and Rio Morales getting confronted by another villain, and an unidentified reality's version of Carrion chasing after someone.

Hunter-Spider manages to attack Web-Weaver and Spider-Punk before being subdued by Spider-Woman of Earth-332 who locks the other Sinister Squadron members out. When Spider-Woman of Earth-332 orders Hunter-Spider to stay down, Spider-Man 2099 of Earth-2099 states that they need to retreat and regroup. Coming up with a plan, Lady Araña tells Web-Weaver and Weapon VIII to hit their opponents hard, tells Spider-Man 2099 to get into Halloween Jack's terminal to find anything useful they can use with Spider-Cat covering his back, and tells Spider-Woman of Earth-332 and Spider-Punk to come with her. Web-Weaver and Weapon VIII burst through the roof where they fight the J. Jonah Jameson version of Hobgoblin, a Mysterio Avatar look-alike, a full-armored version of Rhino, and Vulture. Spider-Man 2099 tells Lady Araña that he got into Halloween Jacks comm frequency which alerted him to when his cronies were coming. To buy Spider-Man 2099 some more time, Lady Araña, Spider-Woman of Earth-332, and Spider-Punk join the battle against the Sinister Squadron. With help from Lyla, Spider-Man 2099 gets into the comm systems and has Spider-Cat screech loud enough to make Hobgoblin, Lady Octopus, the Mysterio Avatar, and Rhino disoriented. At the ruins of the Simms Building, the Gwen Stacy version of Green Goblin speaks with her boss as they see their captive prisoners. Ghost-Spider calls their leader an off-brand Madame Web. While displeased from Green Goblin's status report that the rest of the Sinister Squadron hasn't captured the rest of the Spider-Society yet, Madame Web revealed that he had captured Ghost-Spider's dad and Miles Morales' parents. As those with Spider-Man 2099 and Lady Araña arrive at the ruined Simms Building to make use of a bunker, they learned that the Sinister Squadron has captured their loved ones. Arriving on Earth-71290 to meet up with its versions of Ashley Kafka and Edward Whelan who hid the Great Web of Life of Destiny at Ravencroft, the Spider-Society is confronted by Madame Web and the Sinister Squadron members Electro II, Green Goblin, an unidentified reality version of Grizzly, Lady Octopus, a Mysterio Avatar, and Venom 2099. As the spider-themed characters are getting beaten, Madame Web is revealed to be a variant of Aunt May. An unidentified reality version of Vermin arrives stating that the Great Web of Life and Destiny has been procured. As Madame Web and her Sinister Squadron escape with the defeated spider-themed heroes and the Great Web of Life and Destiny, Weapon VIII emerges from the rubble vowing that it will be his turn to hit hard.[255]
With all the Spider-Society members captured and placed in power inhibitor collars, Lady Octopus and the full-armored version of Rhino dump Miles Morales and Ghost-Spider in their cell. The Aunt May version of Madame Web sends Travesty of Earth-2099 to Earth-2099 where he captures Spider-Man 2099 and the Julia Carpenter version of Madame Web. As the Gwen Stacy version of Green Goblin states that they got what they wanted and move forward with the plan as part of the deal, Madame Web revealed that she pulled her and the rest of the Sinister Squadron "out of the gutters" and that only she says when it will be over. Madame Web then orders Green Goblin to round up their teammates as Travesty has caught Spider-Man 2099 and Madame Web. Weapon VIII shows up at the base where he fights the J. Jonah Jameson version of Hobgoblin and Silvermane. Then he is ambushed by Green Goblin. As Weapon VIII tries to reason with Gwen, she stated that she became Green Goblin after taking the Goblin Serum when Madame Web showed her how she would die. When Green Goblin stated that she doesn't want to betray the Sinister Squadron and that she wants to rule it, Madame Web shows up with Hunter-Spider, Lady Octopus, an unidentified reality version of Speed Demon, and Travesty with Madame Web voicing her disappointment in her. Green Goblin then goes on the offensive as Lady Octopus protects Madame Web from one of Green Goblin's Pumpkin Bombs. As Weapon VIII knocks Green Goblin down, the rest of the liberated Spider-Society members arrive to help fight the Sinister Squadron with Web-Weaver fighting Hunter-Spider, Lady Araña fighting Madame Web, and the rest of the Spider-Society fighting Lady Octopus, Speed Demon, and Travesty. Madame Web states that the Web of Life and Destiny's powers are hers and that the entire Spider-Verse will soon kneel before her as she shows the captive Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2099 of Earth-2099, and Madame Web.[256]
The Aunt May version of Madame Web orders the Gwen Stacy version of Green Goblin, Hunter-Spider, Lady Octopus, and Travesty of Earth-2099 to catch the spider-based heroes back into their cell. Spider-Punk lunges towards Madame Web only to be subdued by her. As the rest of the Spider-Society struggle against the Squadron Sinister members, Lady Araña and Spider-Woman of Earth-133 go to Spider-Punk's side as Madame Web mentions how she lost her Uncle Ben and her Peter Parker before she was approached by her world's Norman Osborn who helps to transform her into Madame Web. This enabled her to find candidates for her Sinister Squadron from across the Spider-Verse. At what's left of the Simms Building, Spider-Man, Spider-Man of Earth-2099, and Madame Web are in their imprisonment. Spider-Man 2099 tells Madame Web that her Aunt May counterpart is also destroying the Multiverse in the process as he instructs Lyla to interface with a certain tech and a certain individual. She instructs Lady Araña to interface with the tube that Madame Web is nearby as she dodges Madame Web's attacks. As Spider-Punk recovers and helps Weapon VIII get free from Travesty, Web-Weaver punches Hunter-Spider while Miles Morales and Ghost-Spider dodge Lady Octopus's tentacles. Spider-Cat helps Lady Araña by attacking Madame Web while Weapon VIII and Web-Weaver interface with the tube as the others fight the Sinister Squadron members where they discover that a Spider-Hero will have to sacrifice themselves to funnel the energy back into the Web of Life and Destiny. As Lady Araña starts to fade into the energy, Green Goblin turns against Madame Web as she throws herself and Madame Web into the energy as they start disappearing.[257]

Sons of the Tiger
[edit]The Sons of the Tiger are fictional characters, three martial arts heroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They were created by Gerry Conway and drawn by Dick Giordano and first appeared in The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1 (April 1974).
The Sons of the Tiger were three friends and martial arts students of Master Kee: Lin Sun, of Chinese ancestry, was the leader of the trio and adopted son of Master Kee; Abe Brown was an African American from the streets of Harlem; and Robert Diamond was a Caucasian Hollywood actor.
Lin Sun is returning from a martial arts tournament with his first place trophy when he is suddenly attacked by ninjas in front of his school in San Francisco. After defeating the villains, he goes into the "Tiger Dojo", which has been ransacked. He finds a dying Master Kee, who tells him that there are forces in this world which would destroy us and then points to a box on a shelf, after which he dies. In the box, Lin finds three amulets made of jade, a tiger's head and two claws: the symbol of the school. The inscription at the base of the box reads, "When three are called and stand as one, as one they'll fight, their will be done...For each is born anew, The Tiger's Son." They are later known as "the Amulets of Power".
Soon after, Lin meets up with his two friends, Abe Brown and Bob Diamond, who have also been attacked by ninjas. Lin recounts the story of Master Kee's death and gives each of them one of the jade tiger claw amulets. They soon discover that when they join hands and chant the inscription from the box they become mystically connected. Their martial arts skills combine to become one force and their physical abilities are tripled when they wear the amulets.
During the series' run, the trio runs up against "the Silent Ones", an evil organization with mystical ties attempting to gain world domination.
Beginning in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #19, entitled "An Ending", the trio breaks up and Lin Sun throws all three amulets in a trash can located in an alley. There, Hector Ayala finds the amulets and wears them to become the White Tiger. The Sons of the Tiger appeared in the next two stories, "A Beginning" and "To Claw the Eyes of Night", during the transition to the White Tiger stories. The character of Abe Brown is mostly seen periodically after that. The book continued using the title "The Sons of the Tiger", even though the trio had split up and power was transferred to the White Tiger.
Bob Diamond continued to make occasional appearances in Power Man and Iron Fist as Colleen Wing's lover.
The Sons of the Tiger appeared briefly with Luke Cage's Human Resistance after the Scarlet Witch altered the world during the House of M crossover, along with the Daughters of the Dragon, the Black Cat, Iron Fist and the Moon Knight. Lin Sun, Abe Brown and Lotus Shinchuko appeared in an issue of The Pulse as bodyguards for Luke Cage, who had been injured during the events of Secret War.[258] They also appeared alongside Spider-Man and the Human Torch in Marvel Team-Up #40 (Dec 1975).[259] In November 2008, they made an appearance in Manifest Destiny: Wolverine.[260] The Sons of the Tiger reunited in the 2014 Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu miniseries, where they aided Shang-Chi and his comrades.
