Marvel Crisis Protocol

Quentin Beck began a life of crime as a frustrated artist. A successful stunt man and special effects creator in Hollywood, he turned to criminal life after failing to gain the recognition he thought he deserved. Donning the mantle of Mysterio, Beck uses illusions, hypnosis, and trickery to enact his criminal schemes. A longtime rival of Spider-Man, Mysterio’s gadgets and intelligence allow him to tangle with his super-powered foe.

The killer Cletus Kasady shared a prison cell on Ryker’s Island with Eddie Brock, the human host of Venom. Kasady merged with an insane offspring of the original Venom symbiote, which bonded to his bloodstream, transforming him into the deadly and unpredictable villain Carnage.

Cable, the son of the X-Men leader Cyclops, was sent to the future to save his life when he was infected by the deadly techno-organic virus. Raised by Clan Askani, Cable was able to use his own incredible mutant powers to keep the virus in check, though the constant strain limits him from reaching his true potential. Granted incredible telepathic and telekinetic powers from his mutation, Cable is also equipped with advanced weaponry and technology from the 38th century. Having travelled back in time, Cable now seeks to change the apocalyptic future from which he grew up and ensure a better world for all.

Neena Thurman, a.k.a. Domino, was the product of an illicit government program whose goal was to create the ultimate mutant weapon. Unwilling to be a pawn of anyone, Domino escaped with the help of her powers and set out to find her own path in the world. With her ability to manipulate probability fields—ensuring things always go her way—and her extensive training in armed and unarmed combat, Domino became one of the most dangerous mercenaries in the world. Not long after, Domino found a new home and purpose as a hero as a mainstay member of X-Force.

Once, Nathaniel Essex was a biologist in Victorian London. Realizing that an increasing number of human mutations signalled the beginning of a new evolution, Essex put aside morality in his pursuit of perfecting the human race. A long road of unethical experiments on unwilling subjects eventually led him to incredible discoveries and even greater personal power. Becoming something far more than human, Nathaniel transformed himself into the nearly immortal being known as Mister Sinister. Mister Sinister views the mutant race’s eventual dominance over the world as a foregone conclusion, and that now we must look beyond the next step. Believing that certain genetic bloodlines possess greater mutant power than others, Mister Sinister has targeted members of the X-Men as potential experimental subjects. Regardless of the opposition, Mister Sinister will allow nothing to impede his quest for evolutionary perfection.

Once a brilliant surgeon, Doctor Stephen Strange was set upon a different path when he lost the use of his hands in an accident. Seeking mystical healing, Strange instead discovered a new destiny as a master of the mystic arts. As Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange wields arcane spells and mystical artifacts such as the Eye of Agamotto and Cloak of Levitation to defend the planet against interdimensional threats. Doctor Strange is aided by his faithful companion and friend Wong. Descended from a line of ancient warrior-monks, Wong is a potent sorcerer in his own right. Together with Doctor Strange he uses his power to aide and defend his allies and the world from harm.

Born with a power that is both blessing and curse, the mutant Rogue can absorb the powers and memories of anyone she touches. This remarkable but devastating power allows her to wield the abilities of her foes but leaves them depleted - or worse. Prolonged contact with her skin drains the vital energy from those she touches. Afraid to harm those close to her, Rogue fled her past life. A runaway from the American South, she started her career as a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants under Mystique before joining the X-Men to fight on the side of good.

Remy LeBeau is Gambit, a dashing scoundrel with the mutant power to accelerate the molecular energy of an object, transforming mundane items into kinetically-charged explosives. Raised by a gang of New Orleans street thieves, Gambit is a master thief and former member of the Thieves’ Guild. Forced into the employ of the Marauders, Gambit had an unwitting hand in the destruction of the Morlocks. Wracked by guilt, his life of wandering ended when he met Storm and him finding a new family as one of the X-Men. Now fighting to protect others, he dishes out punishment with his bo staff and trademark playing cards. With a little kinetic enhancement, Gambit always has the winning hand.

When disgraced reporter Eddie Brock bonded with an unearthly symbiote, the pair came together to form the terrifying antihero Venom. Possessing incredible strength and agility, Venom can also alter his shape at will, a power he uses to create all manner of brutal close-combat weaponry.

Just as often a foe of the famous wall crawler Spider-Man as an uneasy ally, Venom remains committed to his role as the “Lethal Protector,” using his fearsome powers to deal swift punishment to any who attempt to bring harm to the innocent.

Malekith, the thirteenth son of a thirteenth son, is the ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim and a bitter enemy of Thor, who uses magic and deception to bring his enemies down and wage war across all the Realms. He transforms mortals into his unwitting agents as a master manipulator with a silver tongue and the capacity to assume the form of another.

He is the Master of the Wild Hunt with the means to summon an army of voracious hounds to pursue anything he wishes.
