Earth Lord

[edit]

Earth Sentry

[edit]

Earth Sentry (John Foster) was created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, and first appeared in A-Next #2 (1999) in the MC2 universe.

When John and his father Bill were investigating a UFO crash site, they discovered a Kree space probe. Upon nearing the ship, the automated defenses activated, and a robotic sentry was released. Bill activated a distress signal which was picked up by Mainframe and the rest of A-Next.

When the heroes arrived, a Sentry robot attacked them. Thunderstrike's sonic blasts and J2's superstrength were not slowing the attacker. Stinger was able to blind the robot's optic sensors with sting darts, providing an opening for John to enter the ship and try to turn off the robotic sentry. When John made contact with the ship's console, a strange energy surge ripped through the ship's computers and struck him. The energy wave reconfigured John's DNA, making him genetically similar to a Kree warrior. Finding himself clad in a green-and-white costume, similar to the original costume of Mar-Vell, John discovered that he had acquired great powers.

John confronted and defeated the Sentry, and stated that he would become an "Earth Sentry" to protect his planet from invaders.[1] He politely declined membership with A-Next, but when the team was later captured by the Revengers, Earth Sentry returned and used his powers to help A-Next defeat the invaders. He then accepted membership with A-Next.[2]

Earth Sentry possesses superhuman strength and durability, due to his altered human/Kree DNA. His costume has wrist-mounted blasters that can fire photonic energy blasts. Rocket boosters on his belt allow him to fly.[1]

Ebon Samurai (Kioshi Keishicho) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. His first appearance was in Alpha Flight #9 (2005) and was created by Scott Lobdell and Clayton Henry.

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Once assigned to the Imperial Guard of Japan, the elite branch of the National Police Agency responsible for protecting the Emperor, career police officer Captain Kioshi Keishicho was present years ago during an assassination attempt by the international terrorist organization Hydra. Although the Emperor was not harmed in the attack, Keishicho was killed by Silver Samurai (Kenuichio Harada), who was affiliated with Hydra at the time.[5]

Following his funeral rites, Keishicho's soul descended to Yomi, the Shinto nether realm, where he was confronted by Amatsu-Mikaboshi, the god of primordial evil. Sensing Keishicho's unsatiated thirst for vengeance, Mikaboshi offered to allow him to return to the mortal realm to exact revenge upon the man responsible for his death. Unaware of the strings attached to Mikaboshi's deal, Keishicho readily accepted. However, upon his return to the land of the living as a revenant, Keishicho was shocked to discover that he was permanently bonded to a suit of ebony armor modeled after that worn by the Silver Samurai. In addition, the katana sword he now wielded was mystically bonded to the essence of a shinma demon which subconsciously reminded him of the debt owed to Mikaboshi. Struggling to maintain a semblance of humanity and resist the shinma demon's corrupting influence, Keishicho began to investigate the whereabouts of the Silver Samurai, hoping to dispatch him as soon as possible so his soul could finally be at peace. Hearing that his target was affiliated with Big Hero 6, Keishicho infiltrated the team's Tokyo headquarters, only to learn that the Silver Samurai had since parted ways with the team and was presumed deceased. After a brief altercation, Keishicho explained his situation to Big Hero 6 and briefly operated alongside the team as the "Ebon Samurai", believing he had no other purpose to serve now that Silver Samurai was dead. He was among the team members present at the press conference where Big Hero 6 announced their intent to collaborate more closely with the Japanese government.[6] As member of Big Hero 6, Ebon Samurai and the rest of the team fell victim to a mind-control device secretly implanted within Baymax, prompting Big Hero 6 to travel to Canada and attack Alpha Flight.

However, upon learning that the Silver Samurai was still alive, Ebon Samurai immediately left the team to continue the pursuit of his murderer. He then wandered the Japanese countryside, struggling to keep Mikaboshi's dark influence in check as he investigated every possible lead to determine the Silver Samurai's location.[5] Upon learning that Silver Samurai had become the bodyguard of the Japanese prime minister, Kiochi abandoned his quest for revenge, realizing that murdering Harada would constitute a betrayal of his country. He later accompanied his Big Hero 6 teammate Sunpyre (Lumina) to the Microverse to help her liberate her native planet of Coronar.[7]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

Ebon Samurai's primary weapon is his katana, a traditional samurai long sword, which is mystically bonded to a shinma demon whose dark essence engulfs the sword's blade. He can use the sword, so enhanced, to slice through any known substance except adamantium. However, the demon's presence also corrupts Ebon Samurai's soul whenever he wields the katana. His offensive arsenal also includes a shorter wakizashi sword and sharpened, hand-held shuriken blades. Ebon Samurai's armor is constructed of an unknown metal native to Yomi and has enough articulation in the appropriate areas so as not to impede his movements.[5]

Ebon Samurai is trained in investigatory procedure and bushidō (the samurai code of conduct), having learned both in Japan's National Police Academy. However, since his resurrection as an Earth-bound revenant, Ebon Samurai is prone to sudden outbursts of rage and violence whenever Mikaboshi's influence becomes too strong to repress.[5]

Reception

[edit]

In 2020, CBR.com ranked Ebon Samurai 5th in their "Marvel Comics: Ranking Every Member Of Big Hero 6 From Weakest To Most Powerful" list.[8]

Eduardo

[edit]

Eduardo (last name unrevealed) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, created by Brandon Montclare, Amy Reeder, and Marco Failla, first appeared in Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #1 (November 2015).

Eduardo is one of Lunella Lafayette's classmates who, along with Ali and Zoe, frequently interact with her despite not understanding her intelligence. Eduardo, recognizable for his Lisa Simpson-esque hair, became famous among the other students because he claimed to have seen Taylor Swift on Yancy Street. He usually filled out the role of being the one who stated the obvious about Lunella's exploits as Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and would sometimes be in the middle of the action, acting totally unfazed by what was happening around him. At one point, Lunella ended up in an alternate dimension where she encountered alternate versions of herself and Devil (fittingly named Devil Girl and Moon Dinosaur), and met an alternate version of Eduardo and Zoe, the former of whom claimed to be the smartest boy in the world.[9]

Eduardo in other media

[edit]

Eduardo appears in Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, voiced by Michael Cimino.[10] This version admires Lunella Lafayette, feeling that she is the only one who understands him. Following minor appearances in the first season, he develops a crush on her and starts to view Marvin Ellis / Mel-Varr as a rival for her affections in the second season. Later in the latter season, he confesses his feelings to Lunella, who politely turns him down. Nonetheless, Eduardo develops a crush on her alter ego Moon Girl.

Electro

[edit]

Electro is the name of multiple fictional characters from Marvel Comics.

Robot

[edit]

The first comics character using the Electro alias name was the robot super hero Electro, who possessed superhuman strength and could run at 100 miles per hour. He starred in a backup feature star in Marvel Mystery Comics, the flagship title of Marvel's Golden Age predecessor, Timely Comics. Created by writer-artist Steve Dahlman, Electro appeared in Marvel Mystery #4—19 (February 1940 – May 1941). His origin story described his invention by Professor Philo Zog, one of a group of twelve known as the Secret Operatives.[11][12]

In The Twelve by J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Weston (published in 2008 and 2012),[13][14] Electro is part of a cadre of heroes trapped in a secret bunker during the Battle of Berlin, seemingly for examination by Nazi scientists. After the fall of the Third Reich, the eleven heroes are left in suspended animation, with no one knowing of their final fate, and Electro is cut off from the telepathic mindwaves of Philo Zog.[15]

When, sixty years later, the Twelve are recovered and brought back to New York, in a safehouse for rehabilitation to modern times, the still inactive Electro is stored in a garage in the same safehouse, its property contended by Philo Zog's niece Elizabeth Zogolowski and the U.S. government, who are willing to disassemble Electro for the secrets of his telepathic interface. Zogolowski reveals how the telepathic bond between Philo and his creation was so strong that Philo died shortly after the war from an acute withdrawal syndrome.[16]

Zogolowski is able to obtain temporary custody over Electro, but lacks the wealth necessary to reclaim its possession: the Blue Blade steps in, offering her all the needed money in exchange for using Electro in his cabaret-like show.[17]

Electro influences the time-traveling adventures in the Avengers/Invaders crossover. As one of the heroes lost in an alternate-universe World War II, Iron Man uses his armor's holograms to disguise himself as Electro. This fails to work for the Red Skull has already slain Electro, along with most of the 'Mystery Men'.[18]

Ivan Kronov

[edit]

Marvel's next Electro was a Communist supervillain created during the unsuccessful attempt by Marvel's 1950s predecessor, Atlas Comics, to revive superheroes in that decade. This Electro, a Soviet citizen named Ivan Kronov, appeared on the cover and in the six-page story "His Touch is Death" in Captain America #78 (September 1954), penciled and inked by John Romita Sr. and almost certainly if not confirmably written by Stan Lee. Many years later, this Electro reappeared in What If? #9 (June 1978), "What If the Avengers had been Formed During the 1950s?" and, in flashback, in Captain America Annual #13 (1994).

First appearanceX-Men #107 (October 1977)
Created byChris Claremont and Dave Cockrum
SpeciesShi'ar
TeamsImperial Guard
Abilities
  • Magnetism manipulation
  • Projection of bolts of electrical energy

Electron is a Shi'ar who is a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. The character, created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Dave Cockrum, first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #107 (October 1977). Electron can manipulate magnetism and project bolts of electrical energy. Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Electron is the analog of a character from DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes: in his case Cosmic Boy.[19]

Part of the division of the Imperial Guard known as the Superguardians, Electron is amongst the first of the Imperial Guard encountered by the team of superhuman mutant adventurers known as the X-Men who sought to rescue the Princess-Majestrix Lilandra Neramani from her insane brother, then-Majestor D'Ken.[20] After the battle, Lilandra takes over as Majestrix, and the Guard swears allegiance to her.[21] Some time later, the Guardsmen again come into conflict with the X-Men regarding Dark Phoenix, this time at the behest of Lilandra.[22]

Lilandra's sister Deathbird becomes Shi'ar Empress in a coup. Electron is with the Guard when they come into conflict with a rogue Space Knight named Pulsar and an alien named Tyreseus. After a large battle which also involves Rom and other Space Knights — which leads to the deaths of four new Guardsman — Pulsar and Tyreseus are defeated.[23]

Empress Deathbird commands the entire Imperial Guard, including Electron, to fight the combined forces of the Starjammers and Excalibur on Earth so that she can claim the power of the Phoenix Force. The Guard are forced to retreat when Deathbird is put in danger.[24] Some time later, War Skrulls impersonating Charles Xavier and the Starjammers depose Deathbird and restore Lilandra to the throne. Deathbird cedes the empire back to Lilandra as she has grown bored of the bureaucracy.[25]

Electron has many further adventures with the Imperial Guard, including the storylines "Emperor Vulcan",[26] X-Men: Kingbreaker,[27] "Secret Invasion",[28] "War of Kings",[29] "X-Men: Kingbreaker",[27] "Realm of Kings",[30] "Infinity",[31] and "The Trial of Jean Grey".[32]

Mitchell Ellison

[edit]

Mitchell Ellison is a fictional character who originated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe television series Daredevil, portrayed by Geoffrey Cantor. The character, created by Marco Ramirez, first appeared in the episode "Rabbit in a Snowstorm".

Ellison is the editor-in-chief of the New York Bulletin. Known for his dry yet knowledgeable demeanor, Ellison believes in his employees' abilities to research and report a good story. He is long time friends with Ben Urich, whom he considers his most trusted reporter. Their friendship hits a snag with the appearance of the Devil of Hell's Kitchen and the rise in organized crime. As Ben insists on reporting on Wilson Fisk, Ellison wants him to work on meaningless fluff pieces to boost the paper's ailing circulation numbers.[33] Ellison still looks out for Urich, as he later offers Ben a promotion to a higher position that would guarantee Ben could pay for his wife Doris' medical bill, but Ben politely turns him down.[34]

Ellison and Ben finally have a falling out when Ben tries to print a story about Fisk killing his own father, but Ellison shoots him down citing a lack of proof. Ben begins to accuse him of being on Fisk's payroll, and such accusations get him fired as a result.[35] After Fisk kills Ben, Ellison attends his funeral and receives a cold stare from Karen Page. Ultimately, Ellison's secretary Caldwell turns out to be Fisk's informant as she is arrested by the FBI as part of a sweep orchestrated on Hoffman's testimony. Realizing he had failed Ben, Ellison could only put his head down in shame.[36]

In season two, Ellison aids Karen in looking into Frank Castle's background.[37] Seeing potential in her research skills, he offers her a reporter position at the Bulletin and gives her Ben's old office.[38] However, Ellison feels that Karen is getting too involved in the story regarding Frank and suggests that she get police protection. When Karen accuses him that he would not have done that to Ben, he states that he will not make that mistake again.[39] After Frank rescues Karen from the Blacksmith, she visits Ellison who is relieved to see that she is okay. Ellison even suggests writing Frank in a positive light after everything she has learned about him.[40]

Ellison reappears in The Punisher. Karen comes to him asking about any information regarding someone named Micro. Ellison revealed that he had received a story from Micro about possible corrupted government officials, but he was convinced not to publish it by Carson Wolf as it would hinder their investigation. However, he kept the story and information and gives it to Karen for her research.[41] He later tries to reason with Karen after she receives a letter from bomber, Lewis Wilson. When Frank's face is seen on camera and shown on the news, Ellison deduces that Karen was aware of him being alive.[42]

In season three of Daredevil, Ellison realizes that Karen is still concerned about the collapse of Midland Circle and has her take on another story that ironically exacerbates her concerns.[43] He later tries to set her up with his nephew, Jason, only for the two of them to learn about Fisk's sudden "freedom". Ellison reveals that his wife Lily is still somewhat traumatized by the events of the first season and that she would call him to see if he was okay despite Fisk's incarceration.[44] When Karen begins connecting Fisk to the Red Lion National Bank, Ellison congratulates her, but gives the story to someone else due to her past association.[45]

Ellison is later present when Matt and Karen bring in Jasper Evans, a convict paid by Fisk to shank him, and have him go on record about his association with Fisk. However, they are attacked by Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter, who has been sent by Fisk to the Bulletin to kill Evans and discredit Matt. Dex stabs Ellison in the stomach with a pencil, but he survives.[46] While recovering in the hospital, Karen hints that she knows that the Daredevil that attacked them was not the real one, causing Ellison to deduce that Karen knows Daredevil's identity. Angered over the loss of his coworkers, he forces Karen to resign when she refuses to compromise Matt's secret identity.[47]

Later, after Karen survives another attempt on her life from Dex, she is reunited with Ellison. While he is happy to see she is safe, still has not forgiven her for protecting the real Daredevil. She is able to convince Ellison to get in contact with several outlets so that she can hold an impromptu press conference while Matt and Foggy get FBI agent Ray Nadeem to testify against Fisk in front of a grand jury. The plan fails, though, as Fisk has anticipated their move and coerced all of the jurors into not indicting him.[48] Before being executed by Dex on Vanessa's orders, Nadeem films a dying declaration, which is handed down from his widow to Foggy, Karen, and finally Ellison, who hurriedly publishes the video on the Bulletin website, and which ensures that Fisk is sent back to prison. He is last seen attending Father Lantom's funeral, having now fully made amends with Karen.[49]

Mitchell Ellison and the New York Bulletin are mentioned in Kingpin (vol. 2) #4, cementing their existence in the mainstream Marvel Universe.

AbilitiesSuperhuman computational, analytical, creative reasoning and strength

Elsie-Dee is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is usually depicted as an ally of Wolverine. The character first appeared in Wolverine vol. 2 #37 in an inanimate state suspended in tank of gelatin. Elsie-Dee is a sentient android. Her name is a pun on LCD, indicating her artificial origins.

Elsie-Dee was created along with her counterpart Albert (a robot double of Wolverine) by Donald Pierce. These androids were designed to kill Wolverine. The Wolverine double was to act as the bait and Elsie-Dee (who outwardly appears to be a 5-year-old girl) was supposed to trap Wolverine in a burning building where she would detonate with sufficient force to kill him.

The plan fails because one of Pierce's henchmen, Bonebreaker, accidentally gives Elsie-Dee the maximum artificial intelligence one of Pierce's automatons was capable of, instead of the intended intellect of a 5-year-old. As a result, Elsie-Dee eventually finds a way to defuse her detonation sequence. She also enhances the primitive intelligence of her counterpart, giving him intelligence beyond even hers. They meet and battle Wolverine in the skies over New York. She and her counterpart decide that he was a noble person and did not deserve to die and consequently abandon their mission.

At one point Elsie-Dee is responsible for the resurrection of Sabretooth. The murderous mutant had been left for dead in the sewers and her casual misstep forced his neck back into place, allowing his healing factor to finish the job. The two robots risk their existences several times for each other and for Wolverine. At some point they travel in time and have several adventures, eventually gaining an AI stealth bomber and the companionship of the 'Hunter in Darkness'. Hunter is a wolf-like creature whom Wolverine twice rescues from confinement, which Elsie-Dee dubs "Puppy".[50] The trio help stop the murderous Adversary hundreds of years ago in the wilds of North America. Albert gains a leadership role with local Indians. They live there for some time and 'Puppy' leaves his new friends to go live with his own kind.[51]

During the "Hunt for Wolverine" storyline, Elsie-Dee is mentioned to be missing as Albert asks Daredevil what he did with her. Before Daredevil can answer, Albert is deactivated by the weapons used by Nur, Misty Knight, and Cypher.[52]

During the "Iron Man 2020" event, Albert arrived on Madripoor looking for Elsie-Dee. After meeting Tyger Tiger, Albert was directed to Donald Pierce's company Reavers Universal Robotics where he confronted Donald Pierce. Donald states that he sold Elsie-Dee's head to yakuza boss Kimura, the arms to the Jade Dragon Triad, and the legs to the Vladivostok Mafia. After he gets the parts from them, Albert puts Elsie-Dee back together. In light of Albert's actions towards them, the Reavers, Kimura, the Jade Dragon Triad, and the Vladivostok Mafia take action against Albert vowing that he will never make it out of Madripoor alive.[53] In Downtown Madripoor, Donald Pierce the Reavers are traveling through the vacant streets as they state that Albert and Elsie-Dee will have to travel through the Vladivostok Mafia's turf before they can engage them. Albert and Elsie-Dee engage the Vladivostok Mafia where they kill some members. Albert and Elsie-Dee then enter the Jade Dragon Triad's turf and fight its members. On the J-Town stretch of High Street, Kimura's men prepare for Albert and Elsie-Dee's arrival as Kimura informs Sachinko that they cannot let Elsie-Dee walk around with the account books' information in her head. As Albert and Elsie-Dee approach, Kimura's men open fire as they ram through the roadblock. Kimura stops the attack and informs Albert and Elsie-Dee about what Donald Pierce have planned for him at Madripoor Airport. As Kimura's limousine fools the Reavers into thinking that Albert and Elsie-Dee hijacked it and fire the railgun on it, Kimura smuggles Albert and Elsie-Dee out of Madripoor in a box claiming that it is filled with slot machine parts bound for Macao. Elsie-Dee states to Albert that they will get him upgraded.[54] Albert and Elsie-Dee were seen with the A.I. Army attacking the tentacles of the Extinction Entity as she cheers him on. It turns out that the Extinction Entity was a simulation and was the result of the disease that Arno Stark thought he cured himself of.[55]

Dillon met his apparent end when his energies were drained by Frye during a confrontation, but he was later resurrected by to rejoin villainous schemes. Other incarnations of Electro include a robot version constructed as part of a villainous plot in The Amazing Spider-Man #312 (February 1989), a short-lived mechanical duplicate designed to mimic Dillon's abilities during a larger conflict involving the Green Goblin and Hobgoblin. In The Amazing Spider-Man #612 (October 2009), Ivan Kronov, a Soviet-era agent from the Cold War period, reemerged as an Electro variant, empowered through experimental enhancements to battle Captain America and later crossing paths with Spider-Man in modern storylines. The most notable evolution came with Francine Frye, a former "supervillain groupie" and associate of Dillon who accidentally gained his powers after an energy transfer incident; she first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #685 (November 2012) and fully assumed the Electro mantle, leading groups like the Savage Six and joining the Thunderbolts under Wilson Fisk's Devil's Reign initiative in 2021. Dillon's powers center on electrokinesis, allowing him to generate, absorb, store, and project electrostatic bolts with a maximum output of up to 30 million volts and 200 amps, effective at ranges of 100 feet. He can manipulate electromagnetic fields for flight at speeds up to 140 mph, lift objects weighing 500 pounds while charged, and disrupt electronic devices or overload circuits; his body is immune to , and his strength, speed, and durability increase when powered up, though his abilities are psychologically limited and can surge uncontrollably under stress, with a storage capacity of 20,000 coulombs. Variations exist across incarnations: the robot version replicated these electrical discharges mechanically without organic limitations, while Kronov's Soviet enhancements focused on sustained absorption for , and Frye's powers mirror Dillon's but emphasize leadership in team dynamics, including energy-draining that proved fatal to her predecessor. In other media, Electro has been portrayed in animated series with voices including in Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994–1998), where he joined the ; in The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008–2009); and in Marvel's Spider-Man (2017–2020). Live-action depictions feature as Dillon in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), reimagined as an Oscorp engineer empowered by electric eels, and reprised in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), where he crosses into the MCU alongside other multiversal villains.

He later partnered with the Water Wizard in an attempt to trap and destroy , showcasing his tactical acumen in coordinating syndicate assaults. Lacking inherent superhuman abilities, Delazny relied on his exceptional marksmanship and specialized armaments, including incendiary ammunition designed to ignite targets on impact. Delazny's criminal career ended abruptly when he accepted a from —acting on behalf of Obadiah Stane—to assassinate the low-level crook known as the . While pursuing the target in a seedy bar, he was ambushed and executed by the vigilante , who declared "Justice is served" as the fatal shot rang out. This killing marked the first public appearance of Scourge and inspired Delazny's brother to assume the vigilante's mantle in a quest for vengeance against the underworld. Decades later, the Enforcer mantle was revived by Mike , the nephew of Delazny Jr., who inherited his uncle's arsenal of weapons following the original's demise. Recruited by the Wrecking Crew on behalf of the crime lord known as the Hood, demonstrated his capabilities by training in the mystic arts and developing expertise in combating supernatural threats.

Eric the Red

Eric the Red is a recurring alias in , employed by different individuals in narratives centered on the and interstellar politics within the Empire.

His scheme began with mind-controlling mutants Polaris (Lorna Dane) and Havok (Alex Summers) to assassinate Professor Charles Xavier, escalating to the liberation of villains Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy for an assault on the X-Men. Shakari's intrigue peaked with the kidnapping of Lilandra from , forcing the X-Men to pursue him to the homeworld, Chandilar. There, Eric the Red allied with a de-aged Magneto—restored to adulthood via technology—and clashed with the and , culminating in the deposition of D'Ken and the safeguarding of the M'Kraan Crystal. These events formed a pivotal arc in the broader Phoenix Saga, setting the stage for subsequent conflicts. The powers and abilities tied to Eric the Red vary by wielder. For Shakari, the identity relied on advanced technology, including a battle suit granting enhanced strength, durability, flight, and energy projection, augmented by his innate physiology and access to mind-control devices.

He has been resurrected multiple times, including a revival in Valhalla where he aided Thor against demonic forces, and thwarted attempts by Amora to rebirth him through Yggdrasil's magic, underscoring his enduring warrior spirit. In modern stories, Skurge participates in Ragnarok cycles, such as battling Surtur's forces during Asgard's prophesied destructions, reinforcing his loyalty to Asgard amid cosmic upheavals—as detailed in broader Thor arcs involving the realm's cyclical ends.
