Other Info
Jane Foster was a nurse hired by Dr Donald Blake to assist him in his private medical practice. Jane eventually developed feelings for him and a superhero named Thor (she did not know that both men were actually the same person). Thor's foster brother Loki, knowing his feelings toward Foster, endangered her life in order to attack him. Afterward, Thor could not bear it any longer and eventually revealed his secret identity to Jane (against Odin's orders). The two were in love and wanted to be married, but Odin forbade it because Jane was a mortal. However, Odin decided that if Jane could prove herself, then she could marry Thor. In order to do this, Jane was briefly granted immortality and the power of the Gods. However, Jane failed to pass the tests of courage set forth by Odin when because she showed fear in battle. Odin then strips Jane of her new powers and returns her to Earth with no memory of Thor, or her time in Asgard.

Back on Earth, with amnesia forced onto her by Odin, Jane begins working for Dr. Keith Kincaid. This left Jane incredibly confused as Kincaid was very similar to the forgotten Dr Blake. However, she and Kincaid eventually began a relationship together.

Years passed and one day Jane became extremely ill and was on the verge of death. Thor discovered Jane was dying in a hospital and came to her bedside--his love for her undiminished. Sif seeing that Thor was still in love with Jane, used her life essence to revive Jane and restore her memories. This left Jane and Thor able to renew their relationship with each other. However, unknown to both, Sif's spirit was actually trapped in the Runestaff dimension. But, when Jane traveled with Thor to Asgard and was presented with Sif's sword, Jane and Sif switched places and Jane was trapped in Runestaff dimension now. Thor and Sif worked together and were eventually able to rescue to Jane; however, upon her leaving the dimension, Jane once again had no memory of her relationship with Thor or Donald Blake. (To learn about Sif, just click on her highlighted name above. Note: Beware of the very revealing outfit worn by Sif on her bio page.)

Back on Earth again, Jane Foster and Dr. Keith Kincaid were soon married and eventually had a son together named Jimmy. However, Jane continued to have selective amnesia from her time with Thor and of Asgard. But, Jane and Keith's marriage began falling apart. Jane eventually left Keith because of his focus on his work rather than his family.

During the next little while, Jane was able to complete her transition to Doctor and was taken on as the resident Doctor to the Avengers because of her position of trust to the team. (To learn about the Avengers, just click on the highlighted name above.)

Later, during the superhero Civil War, Jane took Captain America's side against the Registration Act, and joined his resistance group--the Secret Avengers. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the event, character, and/or team.)

After hearing rumors of the return of Dr. Donald Blake and Thor, Foster was soon visited by Dr. Blake at her work in a New York City hospital. Blake was in search of Sif, but he had mistakenly thought that Sif's spirit had been reborn in Foster since their spirits had been merged once before in the past. However, Jane later discovered that Sif's spirit had actually been reborn in the body of a dying elderly cancer patient. Jane alerts Dr. Blake of her findings and Thor ends up traveling to New York and was able to restore Sif, just before the patient died.

More recently, Foster has gone to Broxton, Oklahoma--the site of the resurrected Asgard. There, Jane and Donald Blake opened up a medical practice together.

Weight
260 lbs.

Eyes

Powers
None

Abilities
During his time with the Howlers Dugan became skilled on all Allied small weapons and gained experience in all forms of hand to hand combat, especially Judo. Due to his size, and his training as a circus strongman, Dugan has great physical strength, within human limits.

Other Info
During World War II, while working as a circus strongman, Timothy Dugan helped Nick Fury and Sam Sawyer escape the Nazis during a mission. Later, Dugan joins the British Army. However, after the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, Dugan and Sawyer were both transferred to the United States Army Rangers. (To learn about Nick Fury, click on the highlighted name above. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by one in the background on his bio page.)

Later, Sawyer was forced to retire from active duty; however, it was also this moment that he formed an elite squad of American Rangers known as the Howling Commandos. Nick Fury and Dugan were both assigned to the team--Nick Fury became the head and Dugan became his right hand man. Dugan's exceptional strength ended up saving the day in several adventures with the group. During his time with the Howlers, Dugan became skilled on all Allied small weapons and gained experience in all forms of hand-to-hand combat, especially Judo. With his trademark derby hat, "Dum Dum" Dugan frequently struck fear into the Nazi and Japanese enemies--such were the Howling Commandos feared by the Third Reich. Dum Dum faced off against many different foes during the war, including supernatural and super-human foes such as Baron Blood. In addition, during one of his stints as a Howling Commando, Dugan and most of his teammates found a strange chemical named the Infinity Formula, which greatly slowed their aging. (To learn about the team and/or character above, just click on the highlighted names.)

Dugan had many opportunities to take command of the Howlers himself. On one occasion, trapped behind enemy lines during Allied bombings of a German town, Dum Dum took command and lead a demoralized team back across heavily fortified enemy territory with a wounded Fury in tow. His experience with the Howlers lead Dugan to being assigned to train the similar task force known as the "Deadly Dozen" by Sawyer. Promoted to sergeant, Dugan along with fellow Howlers (Pinkerton and Maneli) trained and fought alongside "the Dozen" on their first missions. Eventually, Dugan was reassigned to the Howlers just prior to the Battle of the Bulge where he fought alongside not only his Howler teammates, but also the Deadly Dozen with their new commander and Captain America and Bucky. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters.)

Due to his service with the Howlers under Fury during not only WWII, but also later during missions in Korea and Vietnam, Dum Dum was quickly chosen by Fury to be his second in command as sub director of S.H.I.E.L.D. During his service in S.H.I.E.L.D., Dum Dum battled with many foes, including HYDRA, AIM, Yellow Claw, and Scorpio. In addition, Dum Dum befriended many of the world's heroes, including the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Falcon, Black Widow, and Quasar. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the many characters and/or teams. Note: Beware of the form-fitting outfit worn by one on the HYDRA bio page and on Black Widow's bio page.)

In the late 1970's, Dugan took command of the special Helicarrier named Behemoth IV to track down the Japanese monster Godzilla, an assignment he became somewhat overzealous on in the opinion of others, including Gabe Jones. Nicknamed "The Godzilla Squad", the group headed by Dugan, and including Jones and Jimmy Woo, followed Godzilla across his many exploits in the United States, including along the Alaskan pipeline, Seattle, and San Francisco where the interference of the Champions of Los Angeles led to the crashing of the original Helicarrier. This mission to neutralize the threat of the beast left one of the few blemishes on Dugan's career, as he nearly lost S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mobile headquarters and was not able to apprehend the monster. In time, however, the creature returned to the sea on its own, having never been seen since. (To learn about the vehicle, characters, and/or team, click on their highlighted names above.)

Later on, Dugan was again at the front lines alongside Fury on a mission with to thwart the theft of a long-lost Soviet nuclear submarine. Together with the mutant Wolverine, Fury and Dugan put a minor dent in the growing HYDRA arsenal. (To learn about Wolverine, click on the highlighted name above.)

As Dugan began to become older in age, he started to serve more in an administrative roll, but still always staying close to Fury's side to offer consultation and advice. However, despite his age, Dugan was not opposed to some field work, taking a shot in the leg following his escorting of former KGB officer Dmitri Panshin, which eventually led to a rogue band of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents taking over the Helicarrier. (To learn about the KGB, click on the highlighted name above.)

Much later, after serving in S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than forty years now, Dugan retired from active combat roles and served in more administrative roles.

Later, following the savage attacks by HYDRA on S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury was injured and Dum Dum stepped up and served as acting commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. Under Dugan's command, S.H.I.E.L.D. launched an all-out assault on factions of HYDRA, AIM, and the cult known as the Hand lead by mutant Gorgon. (To learn about Gorgon and/or the Hand, just click on the highlighted names above.)

During the mutant Civil War, Dugan (along with several other SHIELD agents) was sent to capture his fugitive friend Captain America; however, the entire group was defeated. Dugan expressed regret to fellow agent Sharon Carter for trying to capture his friend. In addition, Dum Dum stated his concerns about losing faith in S.H.I.E.L.D. due to the war and the way the organization was run under Director Maria Hill. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about Maria Hill and/or the Civil War.)

More recently, after the events of Civil War, and as Tony Stark took over as director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Dugan turned in his letter of resignation, stating that he did not approve of the changes Stark had made, or of the way he ran the organization. Dum Dum's resignation was not accepted however, as he was too vital to S.H.I.E.L.D. Despite Dugan's disapproval of Stark's leadership, Stark trusted Dugan alone with the command of a weapon that could send an abandoned Manhattan into the Negative Zone, destroying the island and anyone inside during World War Hulk, citing that Hulk and the Warbound were too dangerous a global threat to leave Manhattan free. Stark trusted that Dugan would know the appropriate time to execute the plan, if at all--Dugan never used the weapon.

Other Info
Max Pressman was a man that murdered his wife. After killing his wife, Pressman attempted to commit suicide by jumping off a building with both of his children, Michael and Milinda, in his arms. However, before he could commit this horrible crime, a police officer shot him. The police officers were able to save the kids, but Max fell with his daughter's doll falling with him to his death. (Max in his human form is shown in the third picture posted.)

Years later, Max Pressman came back as the ghost-like entity named Wallow. He now has the face of Melinda's doll as his own. As Wallow, he has the power to induce fear and misery which he feeds off.

Once his children are in their adult years, Wallow tries to get his kids to kill themselves so that they can be with him in the after life. With Melinda, he tried to stir despair within her until she stepped from a ten-story building; however, she survived the fall, and Ghost Rider rushed her to the hospital. Wallow then pushed Michael off another rooftop; however, he survived too, and Ghost Rider was able to drive Wallow away. Soon after, Ghost Rider learned of Wallow's crimes and intent and ran to Melinda's bedside and prevented Wallow from murdering her. Ghost Rider was able to give his penance star to Wallow, which reduced the his ghostly form to ashes. (To learn about Ghost Rider, click on the highlighted name above.)

Instead of completely dying though, Wallow's essence was drawn to Blackheart's realm. Once there, Wallow meets with Blackheart and is Blackheart's first recruit into his self proclaimed Spirits of Vengeance. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about Blackheart and his Spirits of Vengeance.)

Later, Wallow appeared at Ghost Rider's wedding with Pao Fu and Black Rose which later ended in Blackheart's defeat and Ghost Riders becoming the ruler of Blackheart's realm. (To learn about the highlighted characters above, just click on their names.)

Abilities
Spacker Dave formerly had the ability to hang magnets from the jewelry in his face, indicating that they were made up of a ferrous metal other than stainless steel.

Other Info
Dave was a young tenant in the apartment building where Frank Castle (aka Punisher) lived for a time under the alias of "John Smith." (To learn about the Punisher, click on the highlighted name above.)

Dave is very strange looking to some due to his high amount of piercings all over his face. He didn't do much, but hang about on the building's doorstep. However, over time, Dave recognized his neighbor "Smith" as the infamous Punisher.

One day, one of Dave's neighbors named Joan (aka Mouse), found the badly wounded Punisher and brought Spacker Dave for help. Dave informed her about the Punisher and explained that they couldn't call the cops or even take him to a hospital, because he was a wanted man, and because the men who had injured him might come after him there. They would have to keep their cool and not say a word to anyone. Then, when two of the crime lord Ma Gnucci's men--posing as police officers--came looking for the Punisher, Dave took a few deep breaths, told himself to be cool, and opened the door. Gnucci's men forced their way into Dave's room, tied him up, and proceeded to rip out his facial piercings one by one trying to force him to tell them where the Punisher was. They even carved his name into his forehead. However, even with all that excruciating pain, Dave never betrayed the Punisher. But, during this, the Punisher heard Dave's screams and had Joan help him to the door where he then managed to go in and take out the two criminals. Castle then had Joan call one of his "doctor" friends, who patched up Dave's face and gave him some pain medication. (To learn about Joan the Mouse, click on the highlighted name above. Spacker Dave without his piercings and with his name on his head is shown in the fourth picture posted.)

Soon after this, Dave inspired an underground movement called the "Spackers" who had bandaged faces similar to his. (This is shown in the fifth picture posted).

Later, Spacker Dave reappeared, but he was longer wearing any piercings or bandages, and had taken up the hobby of "Super-spotting." (This is where enthusiasts checked off heroes they had spotted on cards.) He even met up with the Punisher again when he was battling Daredevil, Wolverine and Spider-Man. Dave was delighted because he was able to check-off all of the superheroes on his card. Eventually, when the Punisher unleashed the Hulk on the others, Dave was also able to check the Hulk off; however, Spacker Dave was badly injured in the rampage. He was left permanently paralyzed as a quadriplegic. But this did not stop Spacker Dave. He enthusiastically continues with his "Super-spotting" hobby. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different superheroes.)

There is nothing there, but the Marvel.com bio of Spacker Dave is at the following link, http://marvel.com/universe/Spacker_dave.

Spacker Dave was portrayed by Ben Foster in the 2004 film The Punisher. Interestingly, the actor also plays Angel in X-Men: The Last Stand. Once again, Marvel has doubled-up on actors/actresses playing different Marvel characters.

Powers

Abilities
Union Jack was a trained marksman and hand-to-hand combatant in his prime.

Other Info
During World War I, Lord Falsworth was recruited by the British army to become one of the first public superhero champions: Union Jack. His superiors decided to create a guise that would strike terror in their enemy's hearts in addition to rallying their troops. They had Falsworth appear as a personification of the British national flag. Union Jack fought valiantly throughout the war, eventually joining similar national heroes in a group called Freedom's Five. In addition to that, Union Jack also fought the vampire Baron Blood, a German agent, and the infamous Hellfire Club, which he prevented from awakening a harbinger of Apocalypse, Ch’Vayre. (To learn about the above highlighted characters and/or teams, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the women in scantily clad clothing on the Hellfire Club's bio page.)

When WWI came to an end, "Union Jack" was officially retired from active service by the British Government. Afterward, Montgomery Falsworth got married and eventually had two children, Brian and Jacqueline, and came to lead the life of a peaceful country squire. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about Union Jack's two children.)

Later, during WWII, Falsworth's son Brian, disagreed with Lord Falsworth's views concerning Nazi Germany. The arguments between the two grew more heated over time until finally Brian left home because of them. Shortly afterwards, the Germans released photographs showing Brian Falsworth and his best friend Roger Aubrey with Hitler himself. Lord Falsworth was appalled and saddened by this development. And soon afterward, war between Britain and Germany broke out, and his wife, Lady Falsworth, died in the Blitz of 1941, when a German bomb fell on a London hospital where she was doing volunteer work. (To learn about the Destroyer, click on the highlighted name above.)

Not much later, Baron Blood returned to the countryside near Falsworth Manor to begin a new reign of terror. Lord Falsworth's daughter, Jacqueline, was attacked by the vampire; however, she was saved by the original Human Torch, who drove the vampire off. Because of this, Jacqueline invited the Human Torch and his team, the Invaders, to dinner at the manor. As they were all gathered together, Lord Falsworth then revealed to his family and everyone present that there was one other super-hero in their midst--himself! Falsworth told of his career during WWI as Union Jack and volunteered the use of his mansion as a base of operations for the Invaders. (To learn about the character and/or team above, just click on their highlighted names.)

Shortly afterward, Lord Falsworth was even inspired to don the Union Jack identity to fight alongside the Invaders against Baron Blood. During the battle, Falsworth finally discovered that the vampire was his brother, John. However, realizing this did not stop his brother from crushing Lord Falsworth's legs with a boulder. Fortunately, Union Jack was able to pry the boulder off, which subsequently knocked Baron Blood onto a stalagmite, killing him.

Although now paralyzed from the waist down, Lord Falsworth still accompanied the Invaders on a mission into Germany, where he met and reconciled with his son Brian. (Lord Falsworth found out that Brian had been held as a prisoner by the Nazis; however, Brian was able to escape and became the superhero "Destroyer" and had been fighting against Hitler's Nazis.) Soon afterward, Lord Falsworth offered his son the mantle of Union Jack--passing on the legacy.

Years later, Brian died in a car crash. Now, growing ill with age, Lord Falsworth's daughter came to live at Falsworth Manor to help assist him. At this time, Lord Falsworth read about a series of murders, strongly believing that a revived Baron Blood was behind them. He contacted Captain America for help and devised a plan where Falsworth would don the Union Jack garb to draw the vampire out. Unfortunately, Falsworth suffered a heart attack before the confrontation, and his place in the trap was taken by his grandson's friend Joe Chapman. Chapman and Captain America together were able to defeat the vampire. The heroes burned Baron Blood's, at which time Lord Falsworth quietly passed away--knowing that his brother’s evil had finally ended.
