Other Info 
Much of Zandow's life before the 1930's is unknown. It is then that Zandow joined Tiboldt's Circus (a small Austrian travel circus managed for generations by members of the Tiboldt family) as their hired muscle; thus, earning his nickname "Zandow the Strong Man." (To learn about Tiboldt's Circus, just click on the highlighted name above.)

Soon after, Fritz Tiboldt (then manager and ringmaster of the circus) became active in the Nazi Party activities. After World War II began, Tiboldt was asked by German intelligence to take his circus to the United States to tour and give performances in major cities; however, they were actually using the circus as a guise to murder high government officials. Zandow was one of the members who were loyal to their cause. (To learn about the character and/or team above, just click on their highlighted names.) 

Later, when agent Betsy Ross witnessed the murder of Commissioner Newsome, Zandow and the other members of the Tibdolt's Circus attempted to capture her. When Captain America (Steve Rogers) and Bucky Barnes arrived and tried to save Betsy, it was Zandow who actually ended up knocking both Captain America and Bucky out and took off with Betsy Ross. However, it wasn't long after, that Captain America came again for Betsy and this time Zandow was not as fortunate. The strong man was beat and the operations of Tibdolt's Circus was destroyed. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters.)

What happened to Zandow after this is a mystery. And his current whereabouts are unknown.

Jerome Zandow appears on the TV series Marvel's Agent Carter. Much like the comics, Zandow was hired muscle. And similar to the comics, Zandow used to be a sideshow performer.

Trained agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Other Info 
Agent Roger Dooley was a Level Four Special Officer of S.H.I.E.L.D. At one point, when Nick Fury was away, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Directors (who were actually Deltites--rogue Life Model Decoys) ordered the collection of the She-Hulk to determine if she could potentially become a threat similar to her cousin, the Hulk. Dooley convinced the S.H.I.E.L.D. Directors to allow him to run the operation of capturing and evaluating the She-Hulk. Therefore, he sent a squadron of Mandroids to attack and abduct her from the busy streets of New York. However, when the She-Hulk easily overpowered the Mandroids, Dooley ordered for her to be teleported on board the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. When he did so, the She-Hulk, Wyatt Wingfoot, and a few other bystanders were teleported as well. Once on board, they were all split up. Agent Dooley then threatened the She-Hulk by saying he would injury her boyfriend, Wyatt Wingfoot, if she didn't comply with his orders. She agreed and Dooley demanded she be submitted to a strip search in front of an entire squadron of agents. However, when Dum-Dum Dugan learned of what was happening, he immediately put a stop to it and yelled at Dooley for his abuse of power. (To learn about the above highlighted team, characters, and/or objects, just click on their names above. Note: Beware of the low-cut outfit worn by in the background of Nick Fury's bio page and the very revealing/skin-tight outfit on the She-Hulk's bio page.)

Soon after, Agent Dooley contacted the Directors and had Dum Dum Dugan ordered back to Washington D.C.; thus, leaving Dooley in charge once again. He then forced She-Hulk to be put through rigorous examinations, chained, and throw in a cell.

Later, when the She-Hulk broke out of her cell, Agent Dooely left his his quarters to try to recapture her. However, while searching for the She-Hulk, Dooley was ambushed and possessed by the Cockroaches (a countless number of cockroaches who had been exposed to vast amounts of radiation and had developed a collective intelligence). In fact, the Cockroaches were actually one of the "bystanders" who were teleported onto the Helicarrier. The Cockroaches took control of Agent Dooley. Now having possessed Dooley, the Cockroaches wanted to demonstrate their power to humanity; therefore, they forced Dooley into sabotaging the Helicarrier's thrusters and boobytraping the controls. 

Not long after this, Agent Dooley ran into the She-Hulk (who was seeking out Dooley herself). Dooley tried to transfer the Cockroaches into the She-Hulk's more powerful form; however, she swatted him aside. When she did this, his body ruptured, killing him--revealing thousands of cockroaches. (Also, Dooley during his time possessed by the Cockroaches is shown in the last picture posted.)

Roger Dooley appears on the TV series Marvel's Agent Carter. In this version, he is the Chief of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) offices in New York City, and Agent Carter's boss rather than a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent.

Powers
Quake possesses the ability to generate seismic vibrations and direct them into objects or people, allowing for a variety of effects including earthquakes, tremors, and explosions. She is immune to any harmful effects of the vibrations she creates.

Abilities
Quake is a trained agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., tutored by Nick Fury to be his eyes and ears. She is a superb hand-to-hand combatant, skilled all-around athlete, and an excellent marksman. She was a leading espionage agent, adept at undercover assignments.

Other Info
Daisy Johnson was at first believed to be a mutant with a mutant gene. But, it was later confirmed that her powers came from her father, Calvin Zabo (aka Mister Hyde) and the experiments he performed on himself. Zabo had been taking his "Hyde Formula" which provided him enhanced speed and strength and mutated his genes. Zabo impregnated a prostitute named Jennifer Johnson, who gave Daisy up for adoption after her birth. At 7 months old, Daisy was named "Cory Sutter" by her adopted parents. Unaware of Daisy's true parentage, the couple raised Daisy as their own, not telling her that she was adopted. (To learn about the race and/or characters above, just click on their highlighted name.)

At one point when Daisy was a teenager, she stole a couple CD's. It was then that she got agitated and her powers were accidentally awakened; thus, causing an earthquake. Afterward, she was taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and interrogated by its long time executive director, Nick Fury. During this interrogation, Fury told Daisy of her true parentage. He also offered her to join S.H.I.E.L.D. so they could train her in proper use of her powers, in exchange for loyalty to him--she agreed. (To learn about the race and/or character above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the low-cut outfit worn by one in the background of Nick Fury's bio page.) 

Daisy was trained by Nick Fury and became an expert member of S.H.I.E.L.D. She showed a real aptitude, in-particular the black ops angle. Fury noted that she would have finished top of her class even without her powers. She also gained a "Level 10" security clearance by the time she was 17 years old--the only known agent aside from Nick Fury and Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) to do so. (To learn about Black Widow, just click on the highlighted name above. Note: Beware of the very form-fitting outfits worn by Black Widow on her bio page)

At one point, Nick Fury discovered that the Prime Minister of Latveria, Lucia von Bardas, planned to equip super villains with specialized weaponry. Therefore, he led a team of super heroes, including Daisy, into Lucia's castle in Latveria to attack her before she had the chance to put her plans into action. Once there, the group confronted Lucia and her troops, and Fury revealed his plan--to kill the Prime Minister and teach the terrorists a lesson. Daisy was instructed by Fury to bring the whole castle down in which Daisy complied--apparently killing Lucia. The rest of the group disagreed with Fury's actions, in particular using a young girl like Daisy to kill. However, afterward, Fury erased the team's memory of the whole event, except Daisy and Black Widow. Later, Lucia von Bardas appeared to have survived the attack and in retaliation assaulted Manhattan with an army of super villains whose combined technology created an anti-matter bomb. Fortunately, Daisy was able to use her powers to prevent the bomb from going off. After this, Fury was forced to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. after a number of international warrants were set out for his arrest for his unauthorized "Secret War" against Latveria. However, Daisy remained loyal to Nick Fury, as she had promised. Therefore, Daisy was taken off of active duty by Fury's replacement: Maria Hill. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the place and/or character.)

Later, during a three-way confrontation with the X-Men, Avengers, and the Collective, Daisy teamed up with the Avengers and helped them to defeat Magneto--who had be possessed by the Collective. It was Daisy that created a vibration in Magneto's brain that made him lose consciousness. It was after this, that Daisy thought up of the alias "Quake." (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the teams and/or characters.) 

Later on, Fury learned about the Skrull's Secret Invasion in which they had infiltrated even the ranks of Earth’s heroes. Needing people he could trust, Fury recruited Quake to his "Secret Warriors" and gave her orders to recruit others to their team in order to fight against the Skrulls. Having officially taken the name "Quake" now, Daisy acted as field leader for the team and attacked the Skrulls during their invasion on Manhattan. In fact, her Secret Warriors team turned the tide of the battle--saving the Young Avengers and the Initiative from being killed by the Skrulls. Then, the team assembled with the world's greatest heroes and villains in Central Park to finally defeat the Skrulls. (To learn about the race, event, and/or teams, just click on the highlighted names above.)

In the aftermath of the Secret Invasion, the government assigned Norman Osborn to replace Fury as  S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Director. Osborn soon transformed S.H.I.E.L.D. into H.A.M.M.E.R. However, Fury kept his Secret Warriors together to combat H.A.M.M.E.R. and uncovered data alleging S.H.I.E.L.D. had been a pawn of HYDRA since its' beginnings. During this time, Quake continued to lead the Secret Warriors. It was during this time, that Quake became romantically involved with her teammate, Hellfire. However, after a mission, Fury informed the team that Hellfire did not make it out alive, Quake was devastated. (Fury did not mention that Hellfire had betrayed the team to HYDRA and he had let Hellfire fall to his death.) (Click on the highlighted names above to learn more about the characters and/or team.)

Later, Quake fought alongside the Avengers, Young Avengers, and the Secret Avengers, to take down Norman Osborn during his Siege on Asgard. It was during this time, that Quake and others were powered up by the Asgardian Norn Stones thanks to Loki. (To learn about the team, event, place, race, object, and/or character. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by Loki in his woman-form on his bio page.)

At one point, Quake traveled to Sweden to find and stop the Sin. Once there, she found a castle where Sin was staying. Quake ended up taking down the entire castle, not realizing that Captain America, Maria Hill, Sharon Carter, and Victoria Hand were inside battling inside. They were all able to escape the castle without harm due to Quake saving them. (To learn about the highlighted characters, click on their names above. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits worn by Sin on her bio page.)

Later on, Captain America recruited Quake to join the Avengers for a time. Afterward, he reactivated S.H.I.E.L.D., with Quake as Director and Maria Hill as Acting Director. In fact, Quake was the one that recruited Nick Fury, Jr. and Phil Coulson into S.H.I.E.L.D. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters.)

Recently, Quake led an unsanctioned operation to assassinate the Scientist Supreme (Andrew Forson), the supposedly leader of A.I.M. After they seemingly succeeded in killing Forson, Quake was suspended indefinitely for breaking protocol--as Forson was also the leader of a U.N. member nation. Subsequently, Maria Hill was put in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. once again. After this, Quake went under the radar, similar to what Nick Fury had previously done. Quake then recruited the Winter Soldier for a special mission. And they both eventually met up with Mockingbird who was trying to go under the radar as well. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the team and/or characters. Note: Beware of the low-cut outfit worn by Mockingbird on her bio page.)

Quake appears on the TV series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The character is initially known as "Skye" who gets recruited by Agent Coulson to join S.H.I.E.L.D. Over time, she learns that her real name is "Daisy" and that she is special. In this Marvel Cinematic Universe version, Daisy gains her powers due to her being an Inhuman, rather than mutated genes.

Mister Hyde

Real Name
Calvin Zabo

Occupation 
Criminal; former medical scientist

Citizenship
U.S.A.

Place of Birth
Trenton, New Jersey

Known Relatives
Daisy Johnson (daughter)

Group Affiliation
Formerly Hood's Gang, Masters of Evil, partners of Cobra

Education
Unspecified doctorate of medicine

Height
(Zabo) 5' 11"; (Hyde) 6' 5"

Weight
(Zabo) 185 lbs.; (Hyde) 420 lbs.

Eyes
Brown

Hair
(Zabo) Grey; (Hyde) Brown

Powers
By consuming different mixtures of his transformation potion, Calvin Zabo can transform back and forth from his alter-ego of Mister Hyde. The chemical process is hormonal in nature, causing the cells of his anatomy to instantly manufacture mutated hormones that induce a physical transformation encompassing his entire figure. Miraculously, over 200 pounds of bone and muscle tissue are added to Zabo's body, and his body’s dense flesh then provides him some degree of protection and he possesses vast superhuman strength and stamina. 

Abilities
Zabo was a brilliant medical research scientist, although these skills are lost in his Hyde persona. Mister Hyde, however, is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, though he has not had any formal training. He tends to rely on street fighting techniques that allow him to make full use of his great strength. 

Other Info
Calvin Zabo was a brilliant, but amoral, medical research scientist. One of his favorite stories was Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 classic, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Believing that the experiment in the story could actually be performed, Zabo obsessed over the idea that he too could unleash the beast inside himself. Thus, he dedicated his life to finding a chemical formula to enable him to do so; however, the research for it was incredibly expensive. Therefore, Zabo systematically robbed his various employers, avoiding criminal prosecution by simply changing employers before he got caught. However, his reputation caught up with him when Zabo applied for work with a noted surgeon, Dr. Donald Blake--the secret identity of Thor. He was turned away by Dr. Blake due to his history. Afterward, Zabo vowed vengeance upon Dr. Blake. Thus, months later, when he struck upon the formula, Zabo transformed himself into a Hulk-like creature--Mister Hyde--he immediately returned to Dr. Blake's office to get his revenge. However, Blake transformed into Thor and defeated him. (To learn about Thor and/or Hulk, click on the highlighted name above. Also, Zabo before he changed into Mister Hyde is show in the third picture posted above.)

At one point, Zabo began experimenting on himself, altering his genome. During this time, he impregnated a prostitute named Jennifer Johnson who later gave birth to a daughter named Daisy Johnson. Uninvolved with his daughter, Daisy was put up for adoption after her birth. (To learn about Quake, click on the highlighted name above.)

Later, to get revenge on Thor, Mister Hyde joined forces with Cobra. They were hired by Loki to kidnap Thor's love interest, Jane Foster. However, even with Loki increasing their powers, both Mister Hyde and Cobra were eventually defeated by Thor. Over the years, the partnership of Mister Hyde and Cobra crossed paths with many different superheroes, including Daredevil and Spider-Man. (To learn about the different highlighted characters above, just click on their names. Note: Beware of the Loki's low-cut outfit in his woman-form on his bio page.)

At one point, Mister Hyde briefly joined with Scorpion against Captain America and the Falcon, but ultimately failed in taking down the two heroes. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters.)

Later on, after yet another defeat from Daredevil, Mister Hyde and Cobra ended up in Ryker’s Island prison. Tired of their repeated failures, Cobra decided to sever their partnership. Eventually, Cobra escaped from the prison; however, he took the time to taunt Hyde on his way out, leaving his partner behind. Enraged, Hyde swore vengeance on his former partner. (To learn about Ryker's Island, just click on the highlighted name above.)

Some time later, Mister Hyde was seen teamed up with Batroc the Leaper. The two had succeeded in hijacking a Roxxon Oil supertanker and capturing Captain America--whom they chained to the ship. The tanker was filled with 50,000 tons of liquefied natural gas. As it cruised through the harbor, Hyde and Batroc set it on a collision coarse with the docks of New York City. The resulting explosion of the collision would likely lead to the total destruction of the entire city. Batroc only wanted a huge ransom for the ship and Captain America; however, Hyde, wanted to go through with the plan and cared nothing for the money--just revenge against Captain America and the rest of New York City's population (particularly Cobra) dead. When Batroc realized how insane Mister Hyde was, he secretly loosened the chains holding Captain America, who freed himself and dove into the harbor. As Hyde was busy steering the ship, Batroc turned against him and attacked Mister Hyde from behind. The two then began fighting one another. As Hyde began to squeeze the life out of Batroc, Captain America boarded the ship again and attacked Mister Hyde. During the fight, Hyde broke a pipe and was hit by a high-pressure stream of liquefied gas. Covered by a thick coating of the freezing liquid, Hyde fell off the ship and sank in the harbor. (To learn about the character and/or company above, just click on their names.)

Later on, Mister Hyde appears alive and joining Baron Zemo's own incarnation of the Masters of Evil. Zemo systematically planned an attack on the the Avengers Mansion with his new team--Namor had taken a leave of absence to reclaim Atlantis; Captain Marvel was trapped in the Darkforce dimension by Blackout; Hercules had been beaten into a coma by Mister Hyde and others; and Black Knight, Captain America, and Jarvis were all captured. In addition, Blackout sent the entire Avengers Mansion in Darkforce dimension. This left Wasp as the only remaining active Avenger to retake the mansion. Meanwhile, Mister Hyde started beating Jarvis to death. Hyde almost succeeded in killing him, but Black Knight managed to free himself and Captain America. They then fought agasint Mister Hyde until a hastily-assembled squad of reserve Avengers arrived at the mansion and defeated Hyde and the rest of the Masters of Evil. (To learn about the above highlighted characters, team, and/or place, just click on their names.)

Meanwhile, Cobra had become the leader of the Serpent Society. As part of re-inventing himself for this new position, Cobra sought out the one person that he still feared: Mister Hyde. Eventually, when Hyde had escaped from the prison known as the Vault, he came face-to-face with Cobra. The two fought, but ultimately, Hyde lost to his former partner. Flushed with new confidence, Cobra renamed himself "King Cobra," and the long grudge match between the two seemed to be over. (To learn about the team above, just click on their highlighted name. Note: Beware of the low-cut outfits worn by many on the Serpent Society's bio page.)

Over the next little while, Mister Hyde found himself battling many different heroes and teams including Hulk, Alpha Flight, Ghost Rider (Daniel Ketch), Daredevil, Iron Man, and Spider-Man. At one point, he even received a head injury from an attack that actually limited his ability to transform into his Hyde persona temporarily. (To learn about the team and/or character highlighted above, just click on their names. Note: Beware of the form-fitting and revealing outfits worn by some on the Alpha Flight's bio page.)

For a time, Zabo was held in the prison known as the Raft. However, when a prison break out was caused by Electro. Zabo emerged from the Raft in his Mister Hyde persona and fought with the New Avengers. Ultimately, however, Mister Hyde was knocked unconscious by Luke Cage and put back in prison. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the place, characters, and/or team.)

Later, Calvin Zabo was seen selling a derivative of his Hyde Formula on the street as one of the various illegal substances known as Mutant Growth Hormone (a drug that gave temporary super-powers to normal humans). He distributed his drug through a number of dealers. His operation was prospering until he was tracked down by Patriot to Hyde's own headquarters. Mister Hyde captured the Patriot, but was surprised when the Young Avengers appeared--they were following Patriot. Mister Hyde was battling the Young Avengers by himself, so he eventually injected himself with his own Hormone and became even bulkier and stronger than before. Mister Hyde continued to wreak havoc on the Young Avengers until Patriot injected himself with the Hormone and used his increased strength to also attack Hyde. Noticing the effect of the Hormone had on Mister Hyde, Patriot decided to inject Hyde with an overdose of the drug. This resulted in Hyde's bulk became too much for him to handle, and he collapsed and was unable to move. (To learn about the character and/or team, just click on the highlighted names above.) 

Recently, many criminals, including Mister Hyde, joined the Hood's Gang of criminals who wanted to take advantage of the split in the superhero community (aka Civil War) caused by the Superhuman Registration Act. Mister Hyde and a few others were sent out on a mission to assassinate the Taskmaster. However, they ended up fighting the members of the Initiative. During the fight, Hyde was actually set on fire by Sunstreak, and the would-be assassins were forced to retreat. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters and/or team.)

Calvin Zabo appears in the TV series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The character is initially known as "The Doctor," but later reveals that his name is "Cal" and the father of Agent Skye--who he says her name is "Daisy."
