Powers
Typhoid Mary is a mutant and possesses a number of psionic powers. Due to her mental illness, Mary's powers differ on which personality is "in control."

She has telekinesis which allows her to levitate people and can project a telekinetic shield or force field. She can also release devastating force blasts. With this power she can fly at great speed. She can levitate small objects over short distances (such as weapons of under 10 pounds; knives, razors, etc., which her "Bloody Mary" persona often gathered and assembled into improvised battle-armor).

Mary is also a powerful pyrokinetic. This gives her the power to create, control, and absorb fire within line of sight.

She also posses telepathy. This allows her to implant mental suggestions in the minds of others. Mary can induce sleep in weak-minded individuals and most animals. She also has the power to seduce and make others fall in love with her using her mind. However, certain individuals are mentally resistant to her hypnotic powers.

Each of Mary's personas have a different heart rate and voice pattern; even Daredevil's super-senses were long unable to tell the different personas all belonged to the same woman.

As Mutant Zero, Mary appears to possess the same psionic powers utilized by both "Typhoid" and "Bloody Mary." It is unknown whether the powers possessed by this personality are stronger than those of the "Bloody Mary" personality.

Abilities
Typhoid Mary is in excellent physical condition. She has peak human reflexes and agility, and is highly athletic. She is also trained in martial arts, particularly Judo and Zen-Sword. She has exceptional skill in wielding and throwing bladed weapons, and is usually armed with a variety of machetes and smaller knives.

Other Info
Mary Walker is mentally ill and is not entirely responsible for her actions as a result. Suffering from dissociative identity disorder, Mary Walker has 3 other abnormal personalities in addition to her seemingly healthy one. Her "Mary" personality is a timid, quiet, and pacifist; her "Typhoid" personality is adventurous, lustful, and violent; and her "Bloody Mary" persona is brutal, sadistic, and hates all men. Mary once claimed that there was a fourth personality, who is "lost," but it has not since been mentioned. The Typhoid Mary personality seems to be the craziest and most lustful of all her personalities, where Bloody Mary seems to be the strongest and most unstable. (When the Typhoid personality takes over, Mary gets a high fever as though she was sick, however, she becomes far more athletic than timid Mary Walker. She can also unconsciously call upon all of her personalities at will, but Mary can not recall anything that "Bloody" or "Typhoid" do.) Bloody Mary says she only hurts men who hurt women; she sees herself as a feminist fighter that is fighting for the rights of women that can't protect themselves. (The forth picture posted is of the Bloody Mary persona.)

Mary's condition was accidentally caused by Matt Murdock (before he became
Daredevil). Matt had tracked a villain down to the brothel where Mary worked. He attacked the man, but to his surprise, the girls working there came at him. Panicking, Matt lashed out, knocking Mary out a window. It was at this moment Mary became Typhoid Mary, vowing no man would ever hurt her again. However, she would later imply that she was a victim of child abuse. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about Daredevil.)

Mary was soon hired as an assassin by the Kingpin to bring down Daredevil. Kingpin wanted to play a cruel game with Daredevil by have Mary charm him as Mary Walker and tormenting him as Typhoid.
Interestingly, her "Mary" personality had a romantic relationship with Daredevil, but her "Typhoid" personality had a romance with the Kingpin. During this time, she hired Bushwacker, Bullet, Ammo, and the Wild Boys to assist her in attacking Daredevil. This attack nearly killed Daredevil. (To learn about the above highlighted characters, just click on their highlighted names.)

Later on, through hypnosis, her abnormal and psychotic personalities were suppressed and Mary Walker's consciousness gained dominance. At that point, she had begun to lead a normal life, even becoming a soap opera star. However, she sometimes struggled to keep her multiple personalities under control. It was during this time that she befriended Mary Jane Watson. And at one point, her Bloody Mary persona resurfaced and battled with Spider-Man. During this time, Bloody Mary began killing men who committed domestic abuse. But, with Spider-Man's help, Mary was able to regain control and was able to voluntarily turn herself in to the police for treatment. (To learn about the above characters, click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the low-cut shirt on Mary Jane's bio page.)

Sometime later, Mary was confined to a mental institution. At the institution, each personality hired a mercenary: Mary Walker hired Deadpool to kill her, Typhoid Mary hired Deadpool to break her out, and Bloody Mary hired Vamp/Animus to break her out to resume a killing spree. Because of the different requests, Deadpool ended up fighting and defeating Vamp/Animus, but refused to kill Mary Walker, allowing the Typhoid personality to become dominant. Following this, Typhoid and Deadpool had a few adventures together until Deadpool attempted to reform Typhoid. This did not go well and the two eventually separated. (To learn about the highlighted characters, just click on their names above.)

Later on, the abnormal personalities came back and Mary confronted Daredevil in his secret identity, Matt Murdock, and set him on fire. However, Dardevil's bodyguards (Luke Cage and Jessica Jones) managed to take Mary down. She was then imprisoned on the "Raft" (a maximum security prison for super-powered criminals). Later, Electro led an attack on the Raft, helping the prisoners break out. But, while the Avengers came on the scene and managed to stop some of the prisoners, Mary was one of the prisoners that managed to escape. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters, place, and/or team. Note: Beware of the form-fitting outfit on Jessica Jones's bio page.)

After the events of
M-Day, Mary was one of the few mutants to retain her powers. But, she was not initially included in the official record of the remaining mutants (the 198). (To learn about M-Day and/or the 198, click on their highlighted names above. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits worn by some characters in the main picture on the M-Day bio page.)

At some point after the events of the superhuman Civil War, Mary was found by Henry Peter Gyrich and was recruited into the Initiative program. (The reason why she actually joined the Initiative was later revealed that she couldn't merge or block out her four personalities, so she offered to join in exchange for a pardon and to help integrate her fractured mind.) Technically not existing in any official capacity, Mary's true identity was made classified and she was given the codename of "Mutant Zero."(As Mutant Zero, Mary was equipped with a suit of full body armor that appears to enhance her physical strength and given her an arsenal of weapons, including guns and various blades.) However, according to Dr. Leonard Samson, Mutant Zero was still mentally unstable and that referencing any of her other identities could lead to a period of instability. Eventually, Mutant Zero was inducted into the Initiative's black ops team (Shadow Initiative); but, due to her mental instability she could only be "activated" once per mission. (To learn about the different characters, programs, and/or event above, just click on their highlighted name. Also, the fifth picture posted is of Mutant Zero.)

Recently, Mary answered Daredevil's call for superheroes to join him and The Hand in providing martial law for an ever increasing area of New York City. She claims that her time as Mutant Zero appears to have finally joined all the aspects of her personality together, putting her completely in control of herself and her powers; however, Daredevil does not believe her. (To learn about the Hand, click on their name above.)

In the
Elektra movie, Typhoid does not have the same abilities as she does in the comics. In the film, her breath or touch kills whatever they come into contact with. Her poison touch spreads vastly throughout an area at will, killing life, and she can poison her weapons by breathing on them.

Other Info

Henry Peter Gyrich is a ruthless and dedicated government official known for his hardball tactics. Although he is very career minded, he once took a year off work to care for his father who eventually died of Alzheimer’s disease.

At one point, Henry Gyrich became the National Security Agency's (NSA) liaison to Canada's Department H. During this time, he met and had repeated issues with their agent, Wolverine. (To learn about the NSA and/or Wolverine, click on the highlighted names above.)

After this, Henry Gyrich became the first person to be given the title of U.S. Government Liaison to the Avengers by the NSA. After working with the Avengers for a time, Gyrich eventually revoked the Avengers priority status after taking issue with the team. Unfortunately, the Avengers had to accept Gyrich’s “suggestions” or they would be denied the use of their Quinjets, monitors, and data files. Gyrich also limited the Avengers’ active membership to seven members, forced the African-American Falcon to join the team (against Falcon's will) to satisfy equal-opportunity employment in accordance with affirmative action policies, and installed various security measures for the team. (To learn about the highlighted team, vehicle, and/or character above, just click on their name.)

Later, Gyrich took part in a Senate investigation involving the Avengers which claimed that the team was a threat to national security. However, after various testimonies, the committee concluded that the Avengers needed a certain amount of freedom to carry out their operations which were of proven value to the government. The Senate committee gave the Avengers new guidelines to follow, and they also named Raymond Sikorski (a much more reasonable man) as Gyrich's successor as liaison. (To learn about Sikorski, click on his name above.)

After he was forced to step down from his position, Gyrich continued to give the Avengers trouble as a seated member on the council that prosecuted them for treason (charges that proved to be false). He later continued to give them trouble when he served with the Commission on Superhuman Activities (CSA), who stripped Captain America of his uniform and title. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters and/or organization.)

Later, Gyrich requested for a transfer in his responsibilities and was made a special consultant to Project: Wideawake (a covert governmental commission to deal with the problems posed by the growing number of mutants in America). Project: Wideawake was headed by National Security Advisor, Judge Petrie, and its members include Frank Lowell of the Central Intelligence Agency, Raven Darkholme (Mystique in disguise) of the Defense Department, and Dr. Valerie Cooper, among other security department representatives. The project noted that America no longer had a virtual monopoly on superhuman mutants, and decided to investigate the feasibility of employing a special team of mutants to counter the threat of foreign mutants. Eventually it is Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants who were drafted to fill this position and were renamed Freedom Force. (To learn about the project/characters/teams above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits on Mystique's bio page.)

Sometime later, Gyrich became involved in war efforts against the alien Dire Wraiths. This time, he worked alongside Forge (a mutant who worked as a weapons maker for the U.S. government and S.H.I.E.L.D.). Gyrich took Forge's specially designed superhuman power-neutralizing gun to capture the mutant Rogue (she had broken into a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility). In an encounter with Rogue, Storm, and government forces, Gyrich accidentally shot Storm with this gun resulting in Storm's powers and abilities being neutralized (she regains them later). (To learn about the characters and/or organization, click on their highlighted names above. Note: Beware of the extremely revealing outfits worn by Storm on her bio page--block images if possible.)

Gyrich was also involved in hunting down the Hulk after the events of Onslaught. (To learn about Hulk or the Onslaught event, click on the highlighted names above.)

After sometime, Henry Gyrich is promoted to succeed Dr. Valerie Cooper as the head of the Commission on Superhuman Activities. Gyrich's dislike of superhumans made him the perfect target for Baron Strucker (who had designed nanites that could place any person under his control). Under the nanite influence, Gyrich used CSA resources to remold the vigilante Nomad into the assassin "Scourge" and devised a plot to destroy Earth's superhuman population. However, the Thunderbolts revealed Gyrich's involvement and ended his plot, freeing him from the nanites. (To learn about the characters and/or organizations above, just click on their highlighted names.)

Following that incident, he is reassigned to the U.S. State Department and is made the liaison for Black Panther as well as the Avengers’ new liaison to the United Nations. During this time, he redeemed himself in the eyes of the team when he refused to deliver information on the Avengers to the Secretary of Defense, Dell Rusk. Gyrich proved himself even more when he helped the Falcon unmask the Secretary of Defense as the Red Skull. Gyrich was a faithful liaison officer to the Avengers. But, Gyrich’s job comes to an end after the United Nations ends their relationship with the Avengers. (Click on the highlighted names to learn about the characters above.)

After the superhero Civil War, Gyrich served as the Secretary of the Superhuman Armed Forces; his base of operations appeared to be Camp Hammond (the superhuman training facility in Stamford, Connecticut). Abusing his power, he created the Shadow Initiative which is a black ops team within the 50-State Initiative consisting of Bengal, Constrictor, Trauma, the Scarlet Spiders (Team Red) and Mutant Zero. (To learn about the event, place, programs, and/or characters above, just click on their highlighted names.)

After the Skrull invasion, Gyrich has now been appointed Co-Director of the U.N. space security agency known as
S.W.O.R.D. His focus is on potential alien threats already on earth. Gyrich has managed to kidnap several notable aliens including Noh-Varr, Adam X, Jazinda, Karolina Dean, Hepzibah, and he arrested Lockheed, all in his desire to send aliens home. (To learn about all the above highlighted characters and/or group, click on their names above. Note: Beware of the revealing and/or form-fitting outfits worn by Karolina Dean and Hepzibah on their bio pages.)

Henry Gyrich is in the first X-Men movie. In the film, he is Senator Kelley's assistant and is assumed to have been killed by Sabretooth--much different than the comics.

Stick

Real Name
Unknown

Occupation
Leader of the Chaste, Sensei, Pool Hustler

Citizenship
Unknown

Place of Birth
Unknown

Known Relatives
Unknown

Group Affiliation
Chaste

Education
Unknown

Height
5' 9"

Weight
135 lbs.

Eyes
Blue

Hair
White

Powers
Stick possessed a "proximity sense" that enabled him to perceive the shapes and locations of objects in his vicinity despite his blindness. The limits of his "proximity sense" are unknown, but it was more acute even than Daredevil's "radar sense." This sense may have possibly been psionic in nature. Stick's enhanced hearing enabled him to hear faint echoes that sounds created as they "bounced" off the objects around him. Stick's senses of taste, touch, and smell were also more acute than those of ordinary human beings. Stick claimed that he developed his senses to their heightened levels through training and practice. He also possessed the ability able to channel and use his Chi for various effects.In addition, he could communicate with others through telepathy. Stick also could mentally drain life energy from another person into his own body, thereby killing that person, causing the victim's body to dissolve. It is not known what other mental powers Stick possessed.

Abilities
Stick was a master of various Oriental martial arts. Despite his blindness, he was extraordinary in hand-to-hand combatant and would play in combat against both Daredevil and Elektra, as they could not gain an advantage on him. He can move in silence (even Daredevil's radar and enhanced hearing could not detect him). Currently it seems Stick can appear in spirit or ghost like form as he aids his students.

Other Info

Very little has been revealed about the past of the man known as "Stick." He was born blind, but developed the acuteness of his other senses to levels far beyond those experienced by most human beings. These heightened senses, including his so-called "proximity sense," compensated for his inability to see.

Stick became the master of an elite order of warriors known as Chaste (who made their base atop a mountain in an unidentified location). Apparently, Stick earned his name from the Bo staff (as well as a pool cue) that he utilized in combat. The Chaste's members also developed mental abilities of either a psionic or mystical nature, such as the power to communicate telepathically. It was required of the Chaste that they rid themselves of destructive emotions, such as hatred. For years, Stick's warriors battled against the Hand (a Japanese-based criminal organization of ninjas who acted as mercenaries and assassins and who served the demonic entity known as the Beast.) For centuries The Chaste and The Hand have battled one another in a legendary secret war that stretches back to feudal Japan. (To learn about the two groups above, just click on their highlighted names.)

Later on in New York City, a kid named Matthew Murdock was accidentally bombarded by radiation from a canister of radioactive waste materials. This unknown radiation blinded him, but also mutagenically heightened his other senses. Sometime after young Murdock was released from the hospital, Stick found him. Stick taught Matt how to control his newly heightened senses and guided him in mastering his so-called "radar sense," which resembled Stick's own "proximity sense." Stick also trained Murdock in methods of hand-to-hand combat. (To learn about Daredevil, click on the highlighted name above.)

Sometime later, after her father's death, Elektra Natchios went to Japan, to continue her study of martial arts. After achieving great prowess in the marital arts, the sensei told her about Stick's order in the hope that Stick could teach her how to achieve peace of mind and spirit because she was filled with hatred towards the world for the death of her father. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about Elektra. Note: Beware of the revealing and form-fitting outfit on Elektra's bio page.)

Stick accepted Elektra as a pupil, and she was trained by him for a year. During this time, she improved her combat skills even further and also began learning to develop and use the same mental powers possessed by the members of The Chaste. However, Stick eventually expelled her, since she was unable to rid herself of the destructive emotions that had filled her since the murder of her father. Almost prophetically, Stick feared that his decision to turn Elektra away may lead her to seek training with darker forces such as the Hand. Stick's fears proved to be true, because it was this expulsion that drove Elektra to join the the Hand, and afterward to become an independent assassin.

Sometime later, the concussive force of an exploding bomb caused Daredevil to lose his radar sense temporarily. Daredevil found Stick, who was operating as a pool hustler in New York City. Under Stick's guidance, Daredevil developed his radar sense once again.

Later on, the Hand had finally began to try to eliminate the Chaste once and for all. (At this time the Chaste consisted of seven members, including Stick himself). After successfully stopping an attempt by four members of the Hand to assassinate him, Stick summoned the other members of his order to meet with him in New York City. However, only three members met with Stick: Claw, Shaft, and Stone. (It is presumed that the Hand slew the other three members.) Together, Stick and his three followers battled and defeated Kirigi, who was perhaps the Hand's deadliest warrior. (To learn about the highlighted warriors above, just click on their names.)

Soon after, over forty ninja warriors belonging to the Hand attacked Stick, Claw, Shaft, Stone, and their allies Daredevil and Black Widow. Claw was killed in the course of the battle. During the battle, Stick realized that he and his allies could not possibly survive against such great odds using conventional means of combat. Therefore, to defeat the Hand's warrior's and to save the lives of Daredevil and the Black Widow, Stick resorted to a strategy that he knew meant sacrificing his own life. Stick and Shaft linked hands and presumably through mystical or psionic power, began draining the life forces of their enemies into their own two bodies. Once deprived of their life forces, the bodies of the Hand members dissolved away. Stone asked to join his master in performing this ritual, but Stick instead told Stone to take Daredevil and Black Widow to safety. Finally, Stick and Shaft's bodies filled with more human life forces than they could contain, and their bodies seemingly exploded. Thus Stick and Shaft each met a heroic demise. (To learn about Black Widow, click on her highlighted name above. Note: Beware of the form-fitting outfits on her bio page.)

Recently, Stick's spirit briefly aided Elektra in her attempts to calm Wolverine in his more feral form. (To learn about Wolverine, click on his name above.)

It is said that there is a new-born child that bears Stick's reincarnated soul.

Marvel Madness Update

I hope you all have enjoyed learning about different superheroes, villains, and other supporting characters in the Marvel Universe. I wanted to give you an update. When I began this blog, I mentioned that I will be getting most of my information from Marvel.com, due to there being many different "sources" out there about Marvel characters. While this is still true, it is becoming more and more difficult to find enough information on just Marvel.com for the lesser known characters. Therefore, in addition to Marvel.com, here is a list of a couple other websites that I have used, and will continue to use, for the Marvel Madness blog:

Thank you, everyone! And don't forget...keep up the Madness!

Powers
None

Abilities
Jameson is an accomplished reporter, editor, and businessman, knowledgeable in virtually every aspect of print publication. He demonstrates surprising fitness, though he is subject to fits of rage, has had multiple heart attacks, and is a chain smoker of cigars. His brusque behavior, capitalistic outlook, and obsession with Spider-Man frequently mislead people into believing him less principled and compassionate than he in fact is.

Other Info
John Jonah Jameson was raised as a child by David and Betty Jameson. David was an officer of the United States Army, a war veteran decorated as a hero. However, at home, David regularly abused his wife and son. It was later clarified that David Jameson was in fact Jonah's stepfather, and the brother of J. Jonah Jameson Sr. (Jonah's biological father). J. Jonah Jameson Sr. had to leave his son behind for undisclosed reasons.

J. Jonah Jameson Jr. was a Boy Scout during his childhood. In high school, his interests were mainly boxing and photography. Jonah met a girl named Joan when they both joined their high school's photo club. When the school's three top athletes started bullying him, he fought back and beat all three. This impressed Joan, and they started dating.

J. Jonah Jameson began his journalism career as a paperboy, then copy boy for the Daily Bugle. Jonah quit high school after becoming a reporter. At twenty Jonah uncovered police corruption. After that, he became a full-time Bugle reporter, including a time as a war correspondent, criticizing most costumed heroes as glory-seeking vigilantes upstaging the common man. (To learn about the Daily Bugle, click on its name above.)

Later, Jonah married his high school sweetheart, Joan. Jameson rose to editor-in-chief and became renowned for supporting civil rights and opposing organized crime. When Daily Bugle owner William Goodman's heirs put the Bugle up for sale, Jameson tapped his last dollar and made the newspaper his own. He worked hard to support his wife and their son John, eventually becoming a millionaire member in New York's elite Century Club. Although earning a reputation as a notorious miser, he supported many charities and often helped employees in true need. (To learn about John Jameson, click on his name above.)

Still a reporter at heart, Jonah went to Korea for a story, but was crushed when his wife was killed by a masked gunman in his absence. This and other self-perceived failures contributed to his distrust of masked heroes and the heroic ideal.

After some time, when Spider-Man became a crime fighter, Jameson vowed to expose him as a publicity-seeking con. Even after his son, John, was rescued by Spider-Man in a space flight disaster, Jonah still had hatred for Spider-Man. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn more about Spider-Man.)

Jonah hired Dr. Farley Stillwell to mutate investigator Mac Gargan into the "Scorpion" to defeat Spider-Man; however, the debacle left Stillwell dead and the insane Scorpion hating Jameson. Plagued by guilt, the Jonah confessed his actions to his friend Norman Osborn. Scientist Spencer Smythe soon offered Jameson the first of many Spider-Slayer robots, with which he battled Spider-Man to a standstill before Spider-Man escaped. J. Jonah Jameson has been attacked and/or had made enemies with multiple villains. Including Scorpion, some of those are Venom, Kingpin, Grizzly, Fly, and Hobgoblin. (To learn about the many characters above, just click on the highlighted names above.)

J. Jonah Jameson has also been, ironically, saved by many superheroes. Some of those include, Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Punisher. (Click on the highlighted names to learn about the characters.)

After some time, Jonah had begun dating Dr. Marla Madison. Their relationship progressed and the two were eventually married. Jonah and Marla also adopted their niece, Martha "Mattie" Franklin, who unknown to them was Spider-Woman. (To learn about the Spider-Woman, click on his name above.)

J. Jonah Jameson pressured his staff into supporting the government's Superhuman Registration Act. When Spider-Man unmasked himself to reveal himself as Peter Parker, Jonah was shocked and felt betrayed. On top of the Parker revelation, he had to deal with his son Jon marrying the She-Hulk. Furthermore, it did not help when She-Hulk and Spider-Man sued Jonah for libel. (To learn about She-Hulk, click on the highlighted name above. Note: Beware of the revealing and extremely skin-tight outfit on the She-Hulk's bio page.)

Recently, things have become even worse because Jonah found out that his father, John Jonah Jameson Sr., was going to marry May Parker (Peter Parker's Aunt). This marriage technically made J. Jonah Jamson and Peter Parker cousins by marriage. (To learn about Aunt May, click on her name above.)
