Other Info

The young and clean-cut Jasper Sitwell graduated at the top of his class at the SHIELD Academy, with particularly high marks in airborne jump school and underwater maneuvers. (To learn about SHIELD, just click on the highlighted name above.)

When first introduced to SHIELD Executive Director Nick Fury, Sitwell's new and eager-beaver attitude was met with initial mock (and occasionally real) frustration from Fury and second-in-command Dum Dum Dugan. However, soon afterward, Sitwell proved himself and earned his fellow agents' respect. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about Fury and/or Dugan.)

At SHIELD, Sitwell was mentored by Fury himself and was occasionally appointed interim director when Fury was on solo missions in the field.

Later, Agent Sitwell was assigned to Stark Industries as liaison between SHIELD and Tony Stark's company--which designed and manufactured much of SHIELD's equipment. During this time, Sitwell confronted many costumed assassins and terrorists such as Spymaster (who shot Sitwell and put him in a coma for a time), the terrorist group AIM, directly saved CEO Tony Stark's life at one point, and even had a short-lived romance with Whitney Frost; however, she turned out to be the leader of the Maggia. (To learn about the company, character, and/or teams highlighted above, just click on their names.)

Sometime later, Sitwell--like most of the SHIELD leadership at the time--was seemingly killed by a self-aware, renegade "Deltan" variety of SHIELD artificial-human "Life Model Decoys" (LMD). However, Sitwell later turned out to be alive after he was brainwashed by a faction of the terrorist organization HYDRA. The agent had been placed in suspended animation and was released as part of a plot against Fury. Fortunately, Sitwell was eventually deprogrammed. (To learn about the LMDs and/or HYDRA, just click on their highlighted names.)

After some time, Agent Sitwell became SHIELD's top interrogator and successfully discovered the crime chain to link Latveria and Lucia von Bardas. Stiwell was often paired with fellow agent Jimmy Woo. In addition, he also worked closely with G.W. Bridge--mainly in an attempt to neutralize the threat of the Punisher. (Click on the names above to learn about the highlighted country and/or characters.)

More recently, when HAMMER replaced SHIELD, Sitwell left with other SHIELD agents and formed their own mercenary operations. (To learn about HAMMER, just click on the highlighted name above.)

Powers

The Destroyer has superhuman strength that may have no limits since it has never been measured, it can travel through the air by means of self-levitation, and can project bolts of varying energies including magnetic and an unknown energy so powerful that it can shatter any known substance including uru metal. The Destroyer can also produce flames that can reach intense levels of heat and it can also transmute, rearrange and alter matter and its densities in order to convert it to its different forms: solid, liquid and gas. Aside from its other abilities, the most powerful weapon in the Destroyer’s arsenal is its disintegrator beam. The disintegrator beam is fired when the Destroyer lowers its visor and the energy builds up and projects, outward, from the top of the visor. It has been said that this beam is able to annihilate anything.

Other Info
Long ago, the alien race of beings called the Celestials conducted genetic experiments on humanity of the planet Earth. The gods that looked after Earth knew that when the Celestials would return to Earth, they would judge humanity as to whether they were worthy or not of life and would destroy Earth with found unworthy. Therefore, by the command of Odin, the Destroyer was created, by the finest craftsmen of Asgard, as a weapon to use against the mighty Celestials. (The Destroyer armor is made from an unknown metal found on Asgard and was enchanted by Odin to make that metal harder than uru--the metal Mjolnir is made of--or adamantium and almost totally indestructible.) Once the Destroyer was finished, Odin, Zeus, and all other leading Earth gods transferred a portion of their power into the construct which gave it superhuman strength and energy manipulating powers. Odin then had the Destroyer sealed within a temple within a plateau until the purpose it was designed for could be implemented. (To learn about the above highlighted race, characters, place, object, and/or metal, just click on their names.)

For many years the Destroyer remained lifeless until Loki destroyed the plateau and revealed the temple inside. Loki then led a hunter to the Destroyer in order to use the hunter’s life essence to animate the weapon and send it against his hated half-brother Thor. (Since the Destroyer is not a living entity, it is not affected by Odin’s magic that anyone unworthy can’t use it as with Thor’s hammer, and it can absorb the life essence of anyone. In addition, the Destroyer is not a suit of armor that can be physically worn or disassembled. A life force must be projected into the armor in order to animate it which leaves the possessor’s body in a catatonic state. The Destroyer is linked to the body of the individual inside which is why the person does not die due to lack of life force, but if the person’s essence is put back inside its body by a powerful spell directed at the person, the Destroyer will become inanimate once again. By the same token, if the person’s body is killed, the life force will leave the Destroyer and revert it back to its lifeless state. Normally, a person has to be close to the Destroyer and a willing participant to have their life essence transferred into it, but a person’s essence can also be transferred if that person is not mentally guarded for such a transfer--however, Odin or Loki can make the transferals over great distances due to their proficiency with magic. Also, the Destroyer was given its own intelligence but has been programmed to destroy, so when a life essence is absorbed into the armor, the Destroyer normally takes over and the person inside has no choice but to go along with its programming unless the will of the person is the same as the will of the Destroyer.) In Loki's case, both the hunter and the Destroyer wanted to destroy Thor; therefore, the hunter's consciousness acted as one with the Destroyer’s. Thor and the Destroyer battled within the temple; however, Thor emerged victorious when he used the hunter's body as a shield and tricked the Destroyer into transferring the life force of the hunter back into his body. In addition, Thor rescued the hunter, and destroyed the temple in order to bury the Destroyer under it. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters and/or object. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by Loki in his "woman-form" on his bio page.)

Loki later transferred his own consciousness into the Destroyer. This has happened many times. In fact, on one occasion, Loki was able to use the life force of the goddess, Sif to animate the Destroyer. However, Loki was never able to be victorious in his evil schemes. (To learn about Sif, just click on her highlighted name. Note: Beware of the very revealing outfit on Sif's bio page.)

Later, Thor finally gave the Destroyer to Galactus to act as his herald, but Loki eventually stole it back to use against Thor in another sinister plot by first using Balder and then Thor to animate the armor. However, while Thor’s essence animated the Destroyer, he was able to gain control of the Destroyer through tremendous will power. Thus, Odin, Thor, and Loki are the only individuals that have been able to suppress the Destroyer’s consciousness. (Click on the character's highlighted names above to learn more about them.)

Eventually, the Celestials did return to Earth ready to pass judgment, and that is when Odin thought the time had come for the Celestials to do battle with the Destroyer. Odin transferred all of the Asgardians (except Thor’s) life essences into himself and then into the armor causing it to grow to a tremendous size. However, even wielding the Odinsword, the Destroyer could not do much damage to the Celestials, and the alien race returned the attack with firing bolts of energy that ended up melting the Destroyer into slag. Afterward, the Celestials were then presented, by Gaea, with twelve humans that possessed incredible powers as an offering to illustrate the potential of humanity. These "Young Gods" were taken by the Celestials to be trained in the use of their powers, and the Earth was spared. However, Thor and the other Earth gods, were eventually able to revive the Asgardians. (To learn more about the race, object, characters, and/or team above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits worn by some on the Young Gods bio page.)

Later, Loki sent the Destroyer’s melted form to a place where the Frost Giants would find it and tricked one of them into stepping on it. On impact, the Destroyer was immediately reverted to its normal form and began to attack the giants until it noticed the remains of Thor. At this time, Thor had been badly beaten and left in a horrible state after a battle with Jormungand (the Midgard serpent). In addition, Thor could not die because of a curse placed on him by Hela. The Destroyer thought that since Thor’s body could not be killed, his life force would be the perfect essence to animate it because none could threaten the body of Thor. However, upon taking in the life force of Thor, Thor once again was able to suppress the consciousness of the Destroyer and took control of the armor, invaded the realm of Hela, and forced Hela to lift her curse off Thor. After this, Thor trapped the Destroyer armor in a crystal in Hela's realm where it could not be used for evil. (To learn about the characters above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by Hela on her bio page.)

Later, the Destroyer battled the Avengers. However, Thor showed up and banished the Destroyer to a remote place.

Later on, Thor sought out the Destroyer armor again in order to form a partnership that would set them, and others, against the Dark Gods. After Thor and his allies were victorious in their battle, Odin transferred the life essence inside the Destroyer back to its rightful owner leaving him with no memory of the incident. (To learn about the characters and/or teams above, just click on their highlighted names.)

In another instance, Loki brought the Destroyer back to Earth, animating it with the soul of Tarene (the cosmic being known as the Designate). In the end, however, the Destroyer was defeated and Tarene was restored. (To learn about Thor Girl, click on her highlighted name above.)

Much later, Dr. Doom attempted to create his own version of the Destroyer; however, the whereabouts of the original is currently unknown. (To learn about Dr. Doom, just click on his name above.)

Other Info
Margaret "Peggy" Carter is the daughter of Harrison and Amanda Carter, and the older sister of Sharon Carter. Peggy was idealistically dedicated to ending Nazi oppression and therefore joined the French Resistance while she was still a teenager. During he time with the Resistance, she proved to be a valiant and highly capable agent. She even served on several Resistance operations alongside Captain America. Peggy Carter and Captain America even fell in love with each other. However, they had to part when Captain America went on to other assignments. (To learn about Sharon Carter and/or Captain America, just click on the highlighted names above.)

Later, Peggy was captured by the Gestapo and was being held captive in Paris when it was liberated by the Allies. However, a shell exploded near her during the battle and the shock gave her amnesia. This left Peggy with no memory of her and Captain America's relationship. However, soon after, Carter was found and identified by Resistance colleagues and sent home to her parents in Virginia.

Once back in Virginia, Peggy began to recover from her amnesia; however, she was suffering from mental and emotional distress, and kept calling for Captain America. And when the Daily Bugle newspaper reported the rumor that Captain America had apparently been killed just before the end of WWII, Peggy withdrew from the world, refusing to speak, dressing in mourning, and requiring hospitalization. In addition, believing that any additional shock, even a happy one, might make her incurably insane, her doctors did not tell her about the later "reappearance" of Captain America. (To learn about the Daily Bugle, just click on the highlighted name above.)

In more recent years, Carter began treatments from the criminal Doctor Faustus. Captain America learned of Carter's whereabouts when he freed her and others from Faustus' clutches. Over time, Carter eventually regained her mental bearings, and despite still having feelings for Cap kept her romantic feelings for him to herself. However, the two remain close friends. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about Doctor Faustus.)

Later, Peggy joined the international espionage agency SHIELD and served for a long tenure. It was during her time in SHIELD that Peggy had a short romantic relationship with fellow SHIELD agent Gabe Jones. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the team and/or character.)

After some time, Carter joined the support staff of the hero team, the Avengers. However, when the Avengers disbanded after many of their number were believed killed, the support staff was similarly dismissed. (To learn about the highlighted team above, just click on their name.)

More recently, now being more aged, Peggy has ended up in a nursing home, apparently suffering from a form of Dementia--she did not recognize Sharon when she visited her.

There is nothing there, but here is the link to the Marvel.com bio of Peggy Carter, http://marvel.com/universe/Carter,_peggy.

In the original comic book continuity, Peggy was Sharon's older sister. But, she was later "retconned" (altering the storyline of a fictional character) as Sharon's aunt because of the unaging nature of comic book characters.

Other Info
The frail, dwarfish Arnim Zola was born in 1930’s Switzerland where he became the world’s leading biochemist. In his ancestral castle, Zola found some mysterious papers that were brought by his ancestors in the Crusades. (These documents originated from Deviants and contained secrets of genetic engineering that far surpassed even today’s level of technology.) Zola used the secrets to become one of the world’s first public genetic engineer. (To learn more about the Deviants, just click on their name above.)

Needing funds to continue his research, Zola presented his first invention--a device that would transfer someone’s essence to a cloned body--to Adolf Hitler, who agreed to become his patron. (This device, and partnership, allowed Hitler to actually survive World War II as the Hate-Monger). Arnim Zola also ended up using his invention on himself, not only allowing him to survive into modern times but to also replace his normally frail body with a stronger, android one. Arnim Zola's anroid body uses a ESP box in place of where the head would be which allows him to control his creations, emit powerful psionic blasts, animate inorganic material, or transfer Zola's consciousness to an available android body. Due to this, Zola is virtually immortal. In addition to Hitler and himself, Zola also found a patron in the Red Skull. Besides them, Zola has kept his existence a secret--performing experiments in a hidden fortress in the jungles of Central America. (To learn about the characters above, just click on their highlighted names above.)

Later, Zola created some intelligent creations, including Man-Fish, Primus, and Doughboy. And at one point, Zola used Doughboy and Primus to capture Captain America and the woman Donna Maria Puentes, who he wished to use for genetic experimentation. However, he was overthrown, by Primus who had fallen in love with Donna Maria. Captain America used this distraction and battled Arnim Zola. The fight ended with Zola's castle being destroyed and all those in it having to flee. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about the different characters.)

Later on, Zola was able to create a cloned body of Captain America for the Red Skull. The Red Skull was able to use this cloned body to rejuvenate himself after his body died of old age.

At some point, however, Zola severed ties with the Red Skull to embark on his own agenda of experimentation and villainy. Although he prefers to work alone and in secret, Zola has been known to take on others as assistants. Also, when working on his own, it is usually for the pure fascination of genetic research, no matter how cruel or unusual his means. At one time, one of his assistants, who was named Edward Whelan, objected to Zola’s use of human test subjects and ended up becoming one of Zola's victims himself--becoming Vermin). (To learn about Vermin, just click on his name above.)

One time, Zola assembled several wolf-related heroes and villains, including John Jameson (aka Man-Wolf). When Captain America was trying to track Jameson, he was briefly captured by Zola and transformed into a wolfman himself. However, Cap ended up escaping and managed to destroy Zola’s schemes and rescue Jameson and the other victims. (To learn about Man-Wolf, click on the highlighted name above.)

As part of another experiment, Arnim Zola used the DNA of various people to create a group of "Proto-Husk" (clone) versions of the deceased to use as servants to help fund his genetic experiments (this group was known as the Corpse Corp). Some of the these Proto-Husks included Basilisk, Ben Parker, Bird-Man, Bucky, Cheetah, Cyclone, Egghead, Mirage, Porcupine, Red Raven, Thornn, and Vamp. However, when Vamp (Proto-Husk) stole the contents of a safe that Deadpool had intended on stealing himself, Deadpool followed her back to Arnim Zola’s base to get the contents back to use for barter to help his friend. This lead to a confrontation between the Corpse Corp and Deadpool, which ended with Deadpool killing the entire group. (To learn about the different Corpse Corp, the different Proto-Husks, and/or Deadpool, just click on their names above. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by Vamp (Proto-Husk) on her bio page.)

Later, Zola re-created Doughboy to be used as his vehicle of transportation. He used it when he tried to capture the then-ruler of Madripoor, the Viper. However, this plan brought Arnim Zola into conflict with Wolverine and Cable. The two heroes battled Primus and others of Zola's creation, but Zola an many of his creations were able to escape. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters.)

More recently, Arnim Zola was killed by a mentally unstable Grand Director. However, it is believed that his mind was teleported to another android body somewhere. (To learn about the Grand Director, click on his name above.)

Arnim Zola appears in both Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. In the first film, Zola is in complete human form. However, in the second film, Zola appears more like the comic version with a computer face.
