Powers
Ink has no powers of his own. Instead, he had access to a mutant tattoo artist, Leon Nunez, with the power of granting superpowers to other beings by tattooing iconic "power symbols" on them, evocative of the power he wants to bestow. Ink has been shown with the following tattoos and powers: the tattoo on his right palm in the shape of a biohazard symbol which causes his victims to become extremely ill; the tattoo on his left hand gives him super strength. The lines look similar to the banding on Colossus' flesh when he transforms, indicating a toughening of Ink's flesh also; the two lightning bolt tattoos on his head give him telepathy, but this can be blocked by psi-shields; the tattoos of wings on his back grant him flight; the "explosive" symbol tattooed on his right bicep allows him to blow up objects and punch through walls; the Caduceus symbol on his left hand grants him the power of healing others; the Phoenix symbol over his eye allows him to produce energies similar to the Phoenix Force.

Other Info
Eric Gitter was one of the founding members of the "Young X-Men" team formed by Cyclops. He went by the codename, Ink, due to his many tattoos. Ink was a loud-mouthed and rude teenager who didn't care what others thought about him. In fact, when he was getting a tattoo at his tattoo parlor, two police officers came in and tried to arrest him; however, Ink fought back by using new bio-hazard tattoo, which made one of the police officer instantly throw up. Despite this, Eric was arrested anyway and taken to jail. Not in jail long, Ink was freed by a guard who turned out to by Cyclops using an image inducer to hide himself. (To learn about Cyclops, click on his highlighted name above. Note: Beware of the form-fitting outfit worn by Emma Frost on Cyclops' bio page.)

Cyclops began recruiting members to his New X-Men, with Ink was one of the recruits. Cyclops took his new team to their former training simulator, the Danger Cave, built by Prodigy. There he trained Ink and the other members of the New X-Men on their first mission--to assassinate the latest incarnation of the Brotherhood of Mutants (which consisted of former New Mutants who had gone rogue). Ink and Blindfold were assigned to the "Blue team" and were sent to apprehend Dani Moonstar. The two were successful in their mission; however, just after knocking Moonstar unconscious, Ink then knocked out his own partner. Ink was paid to deliver both Blindfold and Moonstar to Cyclops, which he did. However, it was later revealed that this "Cyclops" was actually Donald Pierce in disguise with an image inducer. Pierce was trying to trick the Young X-Men into killing the former New Mutants. Upon discovering Pierce's plan, Ink switched sides and started fighting alongside the former New Mutants and his team of Young X-Men. They all went to Pierce's hideout, and eventually were able to subdue him. Unfortunately, during their mission, Wolf Cub was killed. This left Ink dealing with his own feelings of guilt over his involvement. (To lean about the above highlighted teams and/or characters, just click on their names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits worn by those on the New Mutants and Donald Pierce's bio pages.)

Soon after, during the team's next mission, it was discovered that Ink was not actually a mutant, but just gained powers through his tattoos by his mutant tattoo artist, Leon Nunez. Ink took this revelation hard and decided to quit the team.

Now, off on his own and depressed, Ink ended up getting drunk. He was then attacked by the Hellfire Cult--anti-mutant activists. However, Ink easily defeats them, and told them that they were wasting their time because he was not a mutant.

Not too long after this, Cipher showed up and told Ink that the X-Men were being attacked by the Y-Men (a group of gang members similarly empowered like Ink by his tattoo artist) and that they need his help. Ink was hesitant at first, but eventually decided to help, but goes to his tattoo artist first and forces him to give him two more tattoos--the caduceus symbol and a phoenix tattoo. Afterward, Ink arrived on the battlefield and healed Moonstar with the caduceus tattoo. He then defeated the Y-Men with his "Phoenix Force" tattoo by taking away the powers of all the Y-Men. (Click on the highlighted characters above to learn more about them.)

After this, the X-Men decided that even though he was not a mutant, Ink would stay and train with the X-Men (mostly because Cyclops was afraid of Eric running around unchecked with Phoenix-like powers). Soon after, Moonstar and Sunspot explained that inking powered tattoos sapped Nunez's willpower and that by adding the Phoenix Force tattoo to Ink, pushed Nunez too hard, leaving the tattoo artist in a coma. In this state, Nunez barely has enough conscious to maintain Ink's powers, because if he were to wakes up, Ink would revert to a normal tattooed human. (To learn about the X-Men and/or Sunspot, click on their highlighted names above.)

Recently, when Dust began dying from a hidden health condition, Ink attempted to heal her with his caduceus tattoo; however, it failed and she died. Her death upset him, causing the others to realize that Ink truly did care about the team. Ink even stated that Dust didn't deserve to die; therefore, despite knowing that his Phoenix tattoo was untested, Ink tapped in the his "Phoenix Force" and revived Dust from the dead. However, the immense strain left Ink comatose. Afterward, Beast, stated that Ink's mind still has activity, but it is subdued because it appeared to have been overcharged.

Powers
Blink is a mutant with the ability to create teleportation portals. Through these portals, she can move objects or groups of people for a variety of distances. In fact her limit is not known, but she has teleported as far as from Earth to the moon. She can also use her powers offensively by focusing her teleportation ability and creating spears which she can throw with high accuracy. The spears can expand into portals at her will, teleporting all or a portion of an enemy or object, or merely stunning them. She is very skilled with her powers, and has often defeated much more powerful opponents by redirecting their own powers back at them.

Abilities 
Blink is a very skilled hand-to-hand fighter, having honed her skills by training with Sabretooth. She is also extremely agile.

Other Info
Far before Clarice was born, the immortal mutant Apocalypse traveled the world, spawning innumerable offspring. The descendants of Apocalypse called themselves Clan Akkaba. Later, after a conflict with Dracula, the Clan Akkaba was nearly destroyed. However, Apocalypse's servant, Ozymandias, decided to revitalize the Clan himself. Therefore, he hired a woman known as Miss Ferguson to have intimate relations with Fredrick Slade--one of the last remaining survivors of the Clan Akkaba. Fredrick possessed a form of teleportation which was passed on to his great-great granddaughter, Clarice Ferguson. (To learn about the above highlighted characters, just click on their names.)

Clarice was a timid and scared teenager who lived in constant fear of her mutant abilities ever since her power first manifested quite tragically. When she first used her powers against someone, she was knocked unconscious. When she awoke, she found herself in a pool of blood. (Clarice could not properly control her powers, and apparently was unable to teleport anything in an intact form. Instead, any object or person caught in her teleportation field was shred instead of being teleported). From then on, she vowed to never use her powers against another living being again.

Later on, when the technological alien race known as the Phalanx attacked Earth, they stole Professor Xavier's list of mutants. Many mutants were then captured by the Phalanx so they could experiment on then and find out how they could absorb the mutants into their collective existence. Clarice was one of the captured, along with Husk, M, and Skin. Even though Clarice became friends with the other captives, they couldn't figure out how they could escape. Eventually though, they were freed from their prison when a rescue party consisting of Banshee, Synch, Jubilee, Emma Frost, and Sabretooth came looking for them. However, when one of the Phalanx named Harvest attacked, Clarice took it upon herself to defeat him. To do so, she teleported away half of the ship they were imprisoned upon. Then, she "cut-up" the villain with her space-altering powers; however, her portal swallowed herself as well, apparently killing them both. Because of her sacrifice though, the remaining captives were set free and soon became the Generation X team.  (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the race, characters, and/or team. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits one Husk, M, and Emma Frost's bio pages.)

Later on, it was discovered that Clarice had not died after all, but had actually transported herself somewhere else. Soon after, Clarice was put under a "spell" and recruited by Selene to join her Inner Circle (a personal army of deadly mutants who had either been raised from the dead or had deathly powers) on Necrosha (formerly Genosha). Alongside other mutants, Clarice had been groomed into a teleporting mutant who used her powers to kill. Due to the characteristic "blink" sound from her teleportation fields, Clarice began going by the codename, Blink. (Click on the highlighted character, team, and/or places above to learn more about them.)

At one point, Selene sent her Inner Circle to Utopia to obtain a mystical knife that would complete a ritual of Selene to become a goddess. However, upon arrival, the Inner Circle battled the X-Men. During the battle, Blink and Senyaka fought against Angel. Senyaka ensnared him with his coils and Blink used her spears to obliterate his wings. After successfully finding the mystical knife, Blink teleported the Inner Circle back to Selene with a captured Warpath. After this, Blink and Thunderbird were ordered to keep an eye on Warpath; however, they failed when Vanisher came and saved him. When Selene finally achieved her goal of becoming a goddess, she ordered her Inner Circle to get her more souls to absorb. Therefore, Blink teleported all the zombie mutants and former mutants to Genosha. A battle soon ensued between all the mutants. During that final battle, Selene was killed, and Blink fleed from off Genosha. (To learn about the place and/or characters highlighted above, just click on their names.)

Afterward, Blink traveled to Eastern Europe, to Selene's birth place, and tried to resurrect her; however, she failed. It was here that the X-Men, with Dr. Strange, found Blink. Dr. Strange used his magic to free Blink from Selene's spell. Once she was free the spell, Blink remembered all of her victims and realized that she was a killer. Noticing this turmoil, Emma Frost invited Blink to join the X-Men; however, Blink refused. (To learn about Dr. Strange, click on his highlighted name above.)

Later on, Blink saved many people from some disasters which caused Cyclops to send the New Mutants to find her and and try to recruit her. Due to the Schism in the X-Men at the time, it was Dani Moonstar who offered Blink a choice to join Cyclops' X-Men in Utopia or Wolverine's team at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. In the end, Blink chose Wolverine's side and went to Westchester. (To learn about the characters, teams, and/or place above, just click on their highlighted names.) Note: Beware of Emma Frost's form-fitting outfit on Cyclops' bio page.)

Interestingly, Blink became so popular among comic fans that an alternate version of Blink (Earth-295) was created in the nightmarish reality known as the Age of Apocalypse. This alternate Blink became a founding member of the Exiles. However, this version of Blink is more confident, strong, and determined than her original Earth-616 counterpart. It is rare that an alternate version of a character from the Marvel Universe becomes more noteworthy than the original.

Abilities
Donald Menkin is loyal and, when the occasion calls for it, a ruthless businessman.

Other Info
Donald Menken was hired by Norman Osborn to work for Osborn Industries. As Osborn's personal assistant, Menken was unquestionably loyal to him. (To learn about the Green Goblin, click on the highlighted name above.)

Later on, during a meeting between Menken and Osborn, they were interrupted by a research scientist named David Lowell. He wanted to tell Osborn about his Photogenesis Process; however, Osborn told Lowell that his research was nonsense. In addition, Osborn called Lowell's his project to be shut down and for the scientist to be reassigned. Afterward, Menken was sent to oversee the destruction of Lowell's notes and formulas. But, Lowell struggled with Menken while trying to prevent him from going through with his orders. During the struggle, Lowell fell back and doused himself with a beaker full of liquid--ingesting the formula the beaker held (later this would allow Lowell to gain powers and become "Sundown").

After Norman Osborn was nearly killed during a battle with Spider-Man (he was impaled by his own glider), he secretly fled to Europe. While there, Osborn discovered and joined the Cabal of Scrier. Osborn rose through the ranks quickly and eventually usurped the leadership position through violent means. Menken was one of those recruited into the Cabal of Scrier. The team forged new alliances with other organizations such as A.I.M., Hydra, and the Hand. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the character and/or the teams.)

Later on, Donald Menken went to the New York State Penitentiary and picked up David Lowell who had be released after an accident his caused killed a young girl. While in the car, Menken tried to recruit Lowell back to working for Oscorp; however, Lowell refused.

At one point, Norman Osborn had be placed in a psychiatric ward. However, Menken, and other members of the Cabal of Scrier, broke in and freed Osborn. Afterward, they took him to a safe house, where Menken hired Dr. Albert Bendix to restore Osborn's sanity. As Menken was tending to Osborn, he soon became furious when a nurse named Kolina Frederickson began tending to Osborn as well. Soon after, Osborn and Kolina became romantically involved.

After Osborn's inaugural address to his Order of the Goblin (a reorganized Cabal of Scrier), Menken joined him back to his private lab. After Menken complimented Osborn on his speech, the conversation quickly turned to Osborn's lack of an heir. However, Donald reassured Norman that he still had plenty of life left in him, but that either way, Norman could count on him. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about the Order of the Goblin.)

More recently, after Kolina discovered that Osborn was the Green Goblin, Menken began to panic. However, Norman shot back with a threat, telling Donald that he had plans to deal with her, so to leave him alone. Alarmed by Osborn's temper, Menken began contemplating his need to prove to Osborn that he was worthy of being his heir. Therefore, when Menken accompanied Osborn to Kolina's room, where Norman told Kolina about his past, Menken attempted to push Osborn into eliminating the nurse, saying that she knew too much to live. Soon, Osborn became furious, and grabbed Menken's throat and slammed him on the ground, almost killing him. Responding to all the commotion, the Order of the Goblin members came into the room as Osborn told them to tend to Menken's injuries and take him and Kolina to his Adirondack estate.

The current status of Donald Menken is unknown.

Donald Menken appears in the film, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, as one of Oscorps' board members.

Powers

Abilities 
Smythe has a genius intellect and is a skilled combatant. He is a very skilled engineer, creating his Biorganic Carapace full body armor, which gives him enhanced strength, speed, agility, reflexes, and durability. It also grants him the ability to walk again by interconnecting with his spine. The physical structure of the carapace also gives Alistaire bird-like talons for feet; a long, curved blade-like weapon jutting from each shoulder; a pair of smaller, jagged blade weapons on each forearm; and a specially made web-shooter that fires from the forearm area.

Other Info 
Alistair Smythe was the paralyzed son of Spencer Smythe, inventor of the Spider-Slayers (a series of robots designed to destroy Spider-Man). The first generation series of Spider-Slayers were created by Alistair's father and commissioned by J. Jonah Jameson. However, Alistair's father failed to kill Spider-Man, which resulted in his father's death. Thus, Alistair inherited the legacy from his father and gained a new-found hatred toward Spider-Man. (To learn about the above highlighted characters, just click on their names.)

At first, Alistair worked for the Kingpin. But, he soon parted ways with him due to a disagreement on how to deal with Spider-Man. (To learn about the Kingpin, just click on his name above.)

Soon after, Smythe was sent to an asylum. However, he escaped and took several other inmates along in order to build a new series of Spider-Slayers. After sending a series of slayers after Spider-Man, Alistair lured Spider-Man to his residence for one final battle. At this point, Alistair had modified his body with cybernetics and began to battle Spider-Man, now as the "Ultimate Spider-Slayer" himself. However, he was still defeated and taken into custody with the other asylum inmates as well.

Eventually, Smythe escaped prison and sought revenge on both Spider-Man and J. Jonah Jameson for the death of his father. Therefore, he threatened to kill Jameson's wife and son to force J.J. to alter the stories in the Daily Bugle. However, once Spider-Man discovered Smythe's trail, he followed it back to the Bugle where he met up with Smythe. But, this time, Alistair sent every series of Spider-Slayers to attack Spider-Man. At one point during the attack, Smythe gave Spider-Man the choice of either stopping them or preventing one of the slayers from destroying Jameson; however, Spider-Man was able to shut down all the Spider-Slayers at the same time. But, it was Jameson who knocked out the Ultimate Spider-Slayer (Smythe) with a baseball bat for threatening his family. (To learn about the Daily Bugle, just click on the highlighted name above.)

Later on, Alistair Smythe returned with a new metallic body armor and was hunting down all of J. Jonah Jameson's friends and family. However, he wanted to recruit others in his crusade against J.J.; therefore, Smythe infiltrated the Raft and kidnapped Mac Gargan (Scorpion). Afterward, Smythe turned Mac Gargan into a cyborg Scorpion, and convinced him to join him in his revenge against J. J. Jameson. Soon after, Smythe was able to get a small army of cyborg minions (the Army of Insects), including Fly-Girl and Shawna Tyron. The team attacked took John Jameson, and held him ransom. Smythe's new plan was to kill all those close to Jameson, but not to kill J.J. himself so Jameson could feel the same suffering that he did when he lost his father. This led to the Ulitmate Spider-Slayer's actions killing J.J.'s wife. (Click the highlighted place and/or characters above to learn more about them.)

Eventually, the Ulimate Spider-Slayer was caught and sent to the Raft as a prisoner.

More recently, Dr. Octopus transplanted his mind into the body of Spider-Man. Thus, retaining all of Peter's memories, and was able to fool Peter's family and friends as the "Superior Spider-Man." Therefore, when Mayor J. Jonah Jameson called in Spider-Man to help oversee the execution of Alistair Smythe to prevent any type of escape, no one knew that it was actually Dr. Octopus. Just as Smythe's execution was about to happen, a swarm of mini Spider-Slayers attacked, which allowed Alistair to attempt his escape. However, the swarm was counteracted by Dr. Octopus's Spider-Bots. The mini Spider-Slayers were then sent to the infirmary where they surround Boomerang, Vulture, and Scorpion. The mini Spider-Slayers healed and enhanced them, and then Smythe requested that they kill Spider-Man in return. Eventually, Smythe battled Spider-Man, and was taking the upper hand until he was shot down by Mayor Jameson. In fact, during the battle, "Spider-Man" tried to convince Smythe's allies that he was only using them, and was planning to take their enhancements back once he escaped. However, even though all of them agreed that it could happen, they decided they would make the best of the situation and continued on. Eventually, the Ultimate Spider-Slayer was able to shut down the power on the entire island; thus, allowing the Lizard to escape. However, soon after, "Spider-Man" succeeded in killing Smythe, but only physically. Smythe attempted to transfer his mind into Spider-Man and assume his life; however, he was unable do to do so because  Dr. Octopus had already done the process. Therefore, "Spider-Man" taunted him, and revealed his true identity as Doctor Octopus just before the Ultimate Spider-Slayer died. (To learn about the characters above, just click on their highlighted names.)

Alistair Smythe appeared in film, The Amazing Spider-Man 2. However, the movie version is an Oscorp employee and Max Dillon's boss.

Professional criminal, former linesman for Consolidated Edison
 
Citizenship
U.S.A.

Place of Birth 
Endicott, New York
 
Known Relatives
Norma Lynn Dillon (ex-wife), Jonathan Dillon (father, deceased), Anita Dillon (mother, deceased), unnamed sister

Powers 
Electro is a living electrical capacitor, powered by the micro-fine rhythmic muscle contractions that normally regulate body temperature. He can generate electrostatic energy at a rate of about 1,000 volts per minute and store up to 1,000,000 volts allowing him to emit lightning arcs from his fingertips at speeds of up to 1,100 feet per second, achieving a maximum distance of about 100 feet. In addition, he can override electrically powered devices and manipulate them mentally, travel along conductive surfaces (such as power lines) at speeds as fast as 140 mph, create electrostatic "bridges" to travel varying distances and disrupt Spider-Man's ability to cling to walls. Thanks to the electricity circulating through his body, his strength is augmented to the point where he can lift over 450 pounds. However, when fully charged, Electro becomes extremely sensitive to anything that can "short circuit" his abilities, particularly water. 

Abilities
None

Other Info 
Maxwell Dillon was born in Endicott, New York where his father was a struggling accountant and had difficulties keeping a job. Eventually, his father walked out on the family which resulted in Dillon's mother to become overprotective. In fact, when Max wanted to leave home to go to college to become an electrical engineer, his mother was against the idea and told him that he should work for the local electric company--Consolidated Edison. Max joined the company and became one of the best linemen. It was here that he also met and married a fellow co-worker, Norma Lynn. However, Norma left Max when she realized he wasn't ambitious enough to become an engineer. Unfortunately, his mother also died during his time with the company.

One day, while repairing a power line still connected to its spool, Max was struck by lightning. However, instead of being killed, the freak accident caused a mutation in his genes in his nervous system. This mutation allowed him to generate and control electricity. Fueled by greed, Max created a colorful costume and turned to a life of crime, calling himself "Electro."

Early in Electro's criminal career, J .Jonah Jameson began a smear campaign in the Daily Bugle stating that this "Electro" was actually just an alter-ego of Spider-Man. Intent on proving the him wrong, Spider-Man faced off against Electro. The criminal nearly killed Spider-Man by merely touching him. However, Spider-Man used a fire hose, and was able to defeat Electro. (Click the highlighted names above to learn about the characters and/or place.)

At one point, Electro broke into the Baxter Building (headquarters of the Fanastic Four), and surprisingly ran into Daredevil (Matt Murdock was at the building for legal reasons). The two battled and Electro was once again defeated. (To learn about the highlighted place, team, and/or character above, just click on their names.)

Eventually, Electro decided to take on Spider-Man as part of a team, instead of by himself. Therefore, he became a member of the Sinister Six, alongside Doctor Octopus, Kraven the Hunter, Sandman, Mysterio, and Vulture. Relying on their numbers, the team planned that each villain would face-off  against Spider-man in a different location which drew upon their respective talents until one of them was victorious; however, they all ended up be defeated. (To learn about the team and/or characters above, just click on their highlighted names.)

Later on, still believing that he could gain his revenge in larger numbers, Electro created his own team known as the Emissaries of Evil. This team consisted of Daredevil foes who all wanted revenge on the hero. They each paired up and tried attacking Daredevil; however, the entire team failed and each villain was incarcerated. (To learn about the highlighted team above, just click on their name.)

At one point, Electro derived a master plan to control the entire city of New York City's power supply. However, during his attempt, he was once again defeated by Spider-Man. Tired of being constantly defeated, Electro quit his criminal career. 

However, it wasn't too long until Electro resurfaced as a member of the next incarnation of the Sinister Six (this time with Hobgoblin replacing the deceased Kraven the Hunter). This time the team planned to hold the world for ransom under a cloud of poison gas. However, Doctor Octopus abandoned Electro and the rest of the team when he discovered he could sell the gas; thus, the team was disbanded. (To learn about Hobgoblin, just click his name above.)

After some time, Electro joined as a member of Mysterio's Sinister Seven--created to combat Spider-Man's insane, homicidal clone: Kaine. However, when Kaine disappeared, the team was no longer needed and was disbanded. (Click the highlighted team and/or character above to learn more about them.)

Later on, Rose offered Electro an experimental procedure that would enhance his abilities in exchange for Electro's services. He agreed, sensing the opportunity to rise above his past failures. After undergoing the procedure and dispatching several members of the True Believers (a faction of the Hand) at the request of the Rose, Electro returned to his original plan of attempting to take over New York City's power supply. However, once again, he was defeated by Spider-Man. At this point, a frustrated and desperate Electro threw himself into the Hudson River, apparently killing himself. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn more about the character and/or teams.)

Electro had actually lived, as he was seen as a member of the next few incarnations of the Sinister Six. However, the most recent incarnation--the Sinister Twelve--was gathered by the Green Goblin as part of a larger plan to enable his escape from prison and destroy Spider-Man. However, like many of the past incarnations of the team, they were defeated. This time by the combined efforts of Captain America, Iron Man, Daredevil, Yellowjacket, and the Fantastic Four. (To learn about the teams and/or characters above, just click on their highlighted names.)

At one point, Electro was hired by Brainchild to break Sauron out of the Raft (a maximum-security prison designed to hold supervillians). To do so, Electro initiated a prison break, releasing many criminals at the same time. However, his actions also brought together a number of the world's most powerful superheroes to contain the outbreak, including Captain America, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, Daredevil, Sentry, and Spider-Man. Electro, himself, tried to escape with his girlfriend, but was captured by these "New Avengers"--the very team he inadvertently helped create. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters and/or place. Note: Beware of the very form-fitting outfit worn by Spider-Woman on her bio page.) 

More recently, Electro was broken out of prison by the Kravinoff family to help revive Kraven the Hunter from the dead. After helping the Kravinoffs, Electro departed on his own way.
