## Famine

Famine is the name of different characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as one of the Horsemen of Apocalypse.

### Famine (First Horseman of Apocalypse)

Famine was the one of four children of Apocalypse and Genesis, born and raised on Okkara. He and his siblings grew up to be the first Horsemen of Apocalypse and fought against the Brood in Ancient Egypt. When the forces of the dimension of Amenth invaded Earth and split Okkara into Krakoa and Arakko, Famine, along with his mother, his siblings, all Okkaran mutants, and the newly created island of Arakko, was voluntarily sealed away in Amenth to stop the invasion while his father Apocalypse remained on Earth. After Genesis became Annihilation's new host, Arakko was subjugated and united with the forces of Amenth. Famine and his siblings were sent to Otherworld to destroy the province of Dryador and lay siege to the Starlight Citadel. When Summoner successfully lured Apocalypse to Otherworld, the Horsemen attacked and severely wounded their father. When Saturnyne intervened and arranged the X of Swords tournament, Famine traveled to Amenth with Death to recruit the White Sword and to retrieve Death's prophesied sword, the Black Bone of Amduat.
While War and Death participated in the tournament, Famine and Pestilence served as the regents of Dryador and later fought against the Krakoan mutants to invade Earth. Following the battle, Famine returned to Amenth with his siblings (excluding Death) and their parents, though he and Pestilence continued to act as regents of Dryador.
When Genesis incited a civil war on Planet Arakko, Famine fought on his mother's side. After the war ended, he joined his mother and War in exile on Phobos.

## Fang

Fang is the name of different characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

### Fang I

Fang is a Lupak, a wolf-like alien and member of the Royal Elite of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. Created by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, the character first appeared in X-Men #107 (October 1977). In recent years, the character has developed new abilities, including teleportation, flight, and energy projection/matter manipulation. Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Fang is the analog of a character from DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes: in his case Timber Wolf.
He joins the other Imperial Guardsmen in battle against the X-Men on behalf of Emperor D'Ken on a nameless Shi'ar Empire planet. He is attacked by Wolverine, who defeats him and strips him of his costume, using it to sneak up on the other Imperial Guardsmen.
Fang later becomes a "Borderer": a Guardsman stationed on one of the Shi'ar's conquered worlds to help its governor enforce Shi'ar law there. Fang and a small number of other Guardsmen become renegades and turn traitor, betraying the Shi'ar Empire by serving Deathbird in her attempt to overthrow her sister Princess-Majestrix Lilandra. This incident involves Lord Samedar attempting to use some of the outlaw Guard to attack the Earth. His faction is opposed by other Shi'ar and the X-Men, the renegade Guardsmen battling the loyal Guardsmen, and Fang fighting Nightcrawler during the conflict. The Brood interfere with a concussion-style bomb secretly hidden in the midst of the battle.
Soon after this incident, Fang is apparently slain when the Brood uses him as a host body for the egg of one of their young on the "Broodworld", former home-world of the Brood. His body is consumed and transformed by the Brood embryo implanted inside him, and the resulting Brood alien later fights Wolverine, who kills it.
When the original Fang is killed, another Lupak, named Nev-Darr, is enlisted to take the place of the original Fang on the Imperial Guard. When that one is killed, a third one takes his place.
In Untold Legend of Captain Marvel — which takes place before his first encounter with the X-Men — Fang, the Guard, Captain Marvel, and the Kree face an attack by the Brood. A small division of the Guard — Starbolt, Smasher, Fang, and Oracle — are selected to guard the personage of Deathbird, the current regent of the Shi'ar empire. They ally, then fight with the Kree, after the latter come to their assistance against a murderous attack from the Skrulls.
Fang is seen as loyal Shi'ar warrior when they go to war with the Inhuman-led Kree. One of many battles in this war leads Fang and many others to Knowhere.
Fang is one of the many Shi'ar soldiers assigned to team up with the Starjammers to investigate "The Fault," a space-time anomaly that not only threatens Shi'ar space, but all of reality.
Fang reappears years later on Earth. He comes to visit Wolverine, only to discover that his "old buddy" had died. Fang eventually reveals all of his history with Logan to X-23, revealing how he came back to life after being killed by the Brood. According to Fang, the Lupak reproduce through cloning and keep mental templates of their citizens on file. When one of them dies, a new one is made. He reveals to X-23 that while he is not the Fang Wolverine met back in X-Men #107, as a clone, he is still technically the one Wolverine knew.
Fang assists the Guardians of the Galaxy and X-23 in stopping a Brood infestation of a scientific facility.

Fantasia was a member of the Supreme Soviets. The team had been sent by the Soviet government to capture the Soviet Super-Soldiers, who were attempting to defect to the United States. Fantasia disguised the team members with an illusion to appear as members of the Avengers: Red Guardian as Captain America, Perun as Thor, Crimson Dynamo as Iron Man, and Sputnik as the Vision. Eventually, the real Captain America defeated the Supreme Soviets and freed the badly wounded Soviet Super-Soldiers.
Fantasia later changed her name to Fantasma when the team became known as the People's Protectorate. Eventually the team broke up and merged with the Soviet Super-Soldiers to form the Winter Guard.
Fantasma is rescued from a time anomaly by the Winter Guard, with her former teammates of the Protectorate on her trail. It is revealed that Fantasma is a Dire Wraith queen, and she aligns herself with the Presence and fights the Winter Guard. She is defeated by banishing her into Limbo again.
Fantasia is a Russian soldier with super-powers. She is skilled in magic, especially in the use of illusions. She has also shown the ability to fly and certain mental abilities.

## Kat Farrell

Kat Farrell first appeared in Deadline #1 and was created by Bill Rosemann. A reporter for the Daily Bugle, Farrell is the co-head of The Pulse, a section of the Bugle which focuses on superheroes.
Initially, Farrell is interested in reporting on 'real' heroes, such as police officers and firefighters, and did not like being forced to cover superheroes.
Following six supervillain homicides, Farrell is led to murdered judge Michael Hart, who presided solely over superhero crimes. Hart's wife had also been murdered. The police suspect that it was a double homicide or Hart had killed his wife first. Farrell discovers that Hart had been murdered by the Tinkerer. He had returned, though, with supernatural powers. Paul Swanson, fellow reporter, breaks into her apartment and kills her fish in an attempt to scare her off the case. Undeterred, she nevertheless decides to drop the story anyway, to protect Hart.
Farrell also participates in the investigation of fellow journalist Teri Kidder's death, and was the first to interview Luke Cage when he brought the villain Green Goblin to justice.

### Other versions of Kat Farrell

In the "House of M" alternate reality, Farrell is still a reporter. She wants to write the truth but meets resistance because the ruling mutant class controls the newspapers. At one point she meets Hawkeye, who is aware that reality has been altered.

## Fatale

Fatale is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The fictional character appears in the comics featuring the X-Men family of characters. She is an assassin who usually works for Dark Beast.
Little is known about Fatale's youth. She is one of Europe's finest assassins and the Dark Beast's most trusted servant. When Dark Beast becomes interested in the X-Man Bishop, he places Fatale undercover as a waitress named Amy Johnson in Harry's Hideaway, a bar the X-Men often visit to gather information for him. There she is able to scan Bishop's mind to find information about his ideal woman and changes her appearance to match this image. She takes the name Pamela Greenwood, but fails to get any closer to Bishop. He notices something familiar about Pamela, but never pursues his interest in her.
After his visit to the Age of Apocalypse, Bishop begins having nightmares. He suspects that the character Pamela Greenwood is somehow connected and goes to her apartment to question her. Pamela reveals herself as Fatale and fights Bishop. However, Dark Beast, monitoring the fight, calls her off when Beast enters the fight. Seeing a new opportunity to infiltrate the X-Men, Dark Beast kidnaps Beast and takes his place.
Several months later in the story, Havok is losing control of his powers. Both Dark Beast and Sugarman order their respective agents Fatale and Scarlett McKenzie to kidnap Havok so that they can brainwash him. Scarlett is able to trick a dazed and confused Havok into coming with her as far as Tokyo, Japan, en route to Genosha, but they are intercepted by Fatale, who has hired the Tatsu clan's ninjas for their help in her mission. Havok is rescued by long-time X-ally Yukio and is reclaimed by X-Factor, who had followed the parties involved to Japan, driving off Fatale and Scarlett after a massive battle. Fatale later helps Dark Beast mask Havok's abduction by Random, by penning a letter to Polaris. They disguise it as a letter from Havok, who has supposedly taken an extended leave of absence from the time and their relationship to try to cope with his problems on his own. When Onslaught attacks the X-Men, Dark Beast reveals himself and offers his services to Onslaught. Dark Beast, Random, Fatale, and a brainwashed Havok form the Dark Descendants and fight X-Factor, but are defeated. Havok and Random escape, but Dark Beast and Fatale are sent to prison. Havok decides that Dark Beast's experiments might still be going on, and he allies himself with the telepath/teleporter Ever and forms a new incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, simply called The Brotherhood. Havok frees Fatale and Dark Beast from prison, telling them that he chose Fatale over Ever and that he wants both of them to join his Brotherhood. Both agreed but Havok disbands the group several weeks later when he discovers Dark Beast's hidden lab. Fatale sides with Dark Beast, but is defeated by Havok.
Fatale is de-powered during the "Decimation" storyline. She later resurfaces in the 2007 "X-Cell" storyline in X-Factor vol. 3, alongside fellow former mutant Blob as part of the terrorist group X-Cell. After Blob attempts to steal food from Multiple Man and Rictor, resulting in a fight between Rictor and Blob, she is forced to step in and attack Multiple Man, recognizing him only after the blow creates a duplicate, one with no moral or physical difficulty with breaking her arm. She stabs the dupe with a concealed poisoned blade, before fleeing. She is later repowered by Quicksilver and the Terrigen Mist, but when she begins to heat up from the effects of the Mist, Abyss flings her and Reaper into the Brimstone Dimension and then follows them. The explosion that would have resulted from the Mist is forestalled by the frozen nature of time in the Brimstone Dimension.
In the 2014 opening storyline of the fourth volume of X-Factor, which stars a new, corporate-sponsored incarnation of that team, it is revealed that A.I.M. scientist Terrance Hoffman managed to extract them from the Brimstone Dimension and capture them, draining them of the Terrigen Mist energies and leaving them powerless once again. He uses the mutants as guinea pigs, performing illegal experiments on them that they regard as torture. Serval Industries sends the new superhero team, X-Factor, consisting of Polaris, Gambit and Quicksilver to Hoffman's base to stop him and rescue the mutants, though they do not know that Fatale, Abyss, and Reaper are among them. Polaris frees Fatale, but Hoffman uses the energy drained from Abyss and Reaper to transform himself into a giant mutate of immense power. Quicksilver and Gambit manage to knock Hoffman unconscious and return him to normal, and when they prevent Reaper and Fatale from killing the unconscious Hoffman, Fatale cannot believe Polaris actually works with Pietro and lets him know about what he has done to her, Abyss, and Reaper in the past, they will never be even.
She soon enough turns her vow into reality, confronting the new X-Factor team during a conference press about the terrible things Quicksilver did under the assumption that it was a Skrull in disguise. Polaris has security take Fatale out, but Pietro holds them back, admitting his crimes in front of the media.

Feron went missing after a mishap with magic caused him to absorb Meggan's powers and he turned to water and went missing. He would reappear, disgruntled by the fact nobody on Excalibur seemed to search for him. He took on the guise of Executioner and turned the Crazy Gang against Excalibur.

The Fisher King, also known as the King of Nothing, was an Arakkii with no mutant powers. Born in the Abyssal Prisons of Amenth and tortured for refusing to submit to Annihilation, he had his name, identity, and memories psychically amputated at the age of six by Azazoth and became telepathically undetectable, which allowed him to evade the Vile School omnipaths of Tarn the Uncaring and conspire against Annihilation. The Fisher King met Zsora of the Spirit Flame after she stopped him from assassinating Tarn. They fell in love, married, and had two daughters, Khora and Zsen. The Fisher King, Zsora, and Zsora's sister Syzya of the Smoke secretly reformed the Night Table of the Great Ring of Arakko and worked to bring down Tarn and subvert Annihilation's tyrannical rule over Arakko. During an attack on Ora Serrata and the rest of the Great Ring, the Fisher King and Zsora were captured. Zsora was executed in front of their daughters and Zsen, believing her father a coward, subsequently allied with the Great Ring and joined the Inward Watch.

## Flashback

Flashback (Gardner Monroe) is a fictional mutant character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. His first appearance was in Alpha Flight #1.
Gardner Monroe was born in Manitoba Province, Canada. Possessing the mutant ability to summon duplicates of himself from future timelines, Monroe was recruited by Department H, a fictional branch of Canada's Department of National Defence concerned with training superhumans as government agents. Given the code-name Flashback, Monroe progressed through the initial Gamma Flight training program and had advanced to the second-tier Beta Flight team before Department H as a whole was shut down by the Canadian government. While the primary team, Alpha Flight, continued to operate without government support, the members of Gamma and Beta Flights, including Flashback, were dismissed.
Some time later, Flashback was recruited, along with other disenfranchised members of Gamma and Beta, by Jerry Jaxon and his robot assistant Delphine Courtney into Omega Flight, a team put together to gain revenge on Department H's founder and leader of Alpha Flight, James MacDonald Hudson. Though Omega Flight was defeated, the encounter ended with Guardian's apparent death. During Alpha Flight's second encounter with Omega Flight, one of Flashback's duplicates was killed by a construct created by Madison Jeffries after Courtney used it as a shield against the construct's attack, causing all other duplicates present to vanish. Upon the realization that his duplicate's death would mean his death in the future, Flashback fell to his knees in shock while Jeffries dealt with the remaining Omegans and destroyed Courtney. Flashback and his teammates were left under guard by Jeffries' construct until the police arrived to apprehend them.
Some years later Alpha Flight was informed that Flashback had disappeared from prison, and was presumed dead. Years later, Flashback resurfaced, and tried to redeem himself by destroying his costume, reasoning that if he didn't have his costume he couldn't be sent back to his death. Then one morning Flashback woke up to discover his costume hanging in the bathroom. This version however had the same design as the ones worn by his duplicates. Flashback soon discovered that no matter what he did, he kept on finding himself in the duplicate suit. In desperation, Flashback contacted Sasquatch and his Alpha Flight team and convinced them to help him. The Alpha Flight member Nemesis came to the conclusion that she would have to kill him with her enchanted blade to stop him from dying in the future. After much trial and error Alpha Flight managed to keep Flashback from being sent to the past.

## Flashfire

Flashfire, originally code-named Tempest, 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). Flashfire can generate and fire bursts of light and electricity. Like many original members of the Imperial Guard, Tempest/Flashfire is the analog of a character from DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes: in his case Lightning Lad. Flashfire's alter-ego is Grannz; Lightning Lad's is Garth Ranzz. At one point, Grannz was engaged to marry fellow Guardsman Oracle (an analog of Saturn Girl, to whom Lightning Lad was also romantically linked).
Part of the division of the Imperial Guard known as the Superguardians, Tempest 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. After the battle, Lilandra takes over as Majestrix, and the Guard swears allegiance to her.
Deathbird's second attempt at a coup is successful, and she becomes Shi'ar Empress. Tempest 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.
Empress Deathbird commands the entire Imperial Guard, including Tempest, to fight the combined forces of the Starjammers and Excalibur on Earth so that she can claim the power of the Phoenix Force for herself. The Guard are forced to retreat when Deathbird is put in danger. (Some time later War Skrulls impersonating Charles Xavier and the Starjammers depose Deathbird and restore Lilandra Neramani to the throne. Deathbird cedes the empire back to Lilandra as she has grown bored of the bureaucracy.)
Tempest is again part of the mission during Operation: Galactic Storm, an intergalactic war between the Shi'ar and the Kree. The Imperial Guard are integral to the Sh'iar creating a massive super weapon — the "Nega-Bomb" — using Kree artifacts, including the original Captain Marvel's Nega-Bands, which the Guard steals from the dead hero's tomb. This bomb is capable of devastating an area equivalent to that of the Kree Empire (which is supposedly located throughout the Large Magellanic Cloud). Ultimately, the Nega Bomb device is successfully detonated, devastating the Kree Empire, with billions dying instantaneously (98% of the Kree population). The Shi'ar annex the remnants of the Kree Empire, with Deathbird becoming viceroy of the Kree territories.
Tempest is renamed Flashfire in the first issue of the Imperial Guard limited series, because of the pre-existing DC character named Joshua Clay (Tempest).
Flashfire has many further adventures with the Imperial Guard, in storylines involving Ronan the Accuser and the Inhumans, and such storylines as "Emperor Vulcan," "Secret Invasion," "X-Men: Kingbreaker," "War of Kings," "Realm of Kings," the "Infinity" crossover, the "Trial of Jean Grey," "Time Runs Out," and the return of Thanos.

## Flex

Flex (Adrian Corbo) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a former member of the superhero team Alpha Flight, but later got downgraded to Beta Flight.
Adrian and his older half-brother Jared (later codenamed Radius) were raised in the Hull House orphanage, which was actually a facility operated by the Government of Canada's secretive Department H. While Adrian became shy, reserved and bookish, Jared became athletically inclined, aggressive, and arrogant. Both brothers manifested mutant powers after puberty: Adrian gained the ability to transform parts of his body into blades, while Jared manifested a personal force field that could not be shut down. The brothers were recruited into a new incarnation of the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight.
This incarnation was being heavily mentally controlled by Department H, led by Jeremy Clarke. As part of this, the team was led to believe that Wolverine had murdered the ex-Alpha Flight member Box. Flex was one of the team sent to stop him, which they did on a heavily forested back road in New York. Wolverine initially faces down the team, discussing things and using his senses to check them out. Flex becomes very nervous, despite his brother's bravado. Despite the efforts of both sides, a fight breaks out and it is soon joined by several more X-Men. Flex is personally confronted by Cannonball and loudly declares his desires to talk, not fight. Cannonball, always willing to do the same, does so and the two manage to get the fight to end. The fact that Wolverine had no adamantium at the time they were tracking him made the entire Alpha Flight team recognize something was wrong with the entire scenario. Radius and Flex assist the new Alpha Flight in battling several foes, including the Zodiac and the Brass Bishop.
During the Brass Bishop incident, the team encounters a church full of zombified townspeople. Flex's teammate Man-Bot reports no life signs, other than the church-goers but a scared little girl emerges from the crowd. The team follows her directions, flying off to where the girl said all the people had gone. While mid-flight, Flex is the one to realize that Man-Bot did not register the girl's vital signs. His warning saves the team from flying nose-first into a mysterious, shielded structure. The team eventually fought the malicious, mind-controlling leader of Alpha Flight, Jeremy Clarke. He later died of radiation poisoning during a Zodiac raid on the Department H headquarters, to be replaced by a new, kinder administrator. A reorganized Alpha Flight team confronts several members of the original Flight and later team up with them to defeat a new Weapon X, who had been created by a rogue Department H scientist. Both groups of Alphas merge into a unified Alpha Flight following this adventure. The Corbo brothers and several other members of the new team were later reassigned to Alpha Flight's trainee team, Beta Flight.
After the events of M-Day, Corbo lost his mutant abilities. His current whereabouts are unknown.

## Flexo the Rubber Man

Flexo the Rubber Man is a robot created from a form of "live" rubber that was later retconned to have been a Symbiote all along and first appeared in Mystic Comics #1–4.

## Flint

Flint (Jaycen) is an Inhuman in Marvel Comics. The character, created by Charles Soule and Joe Madureira, first appeared in Inhuman #3 (October 2014).
Flint was Jason, a young African-born American boy who was adopted by Martin (a white man and his wife). Though Jason loved his parents, he felt out of place, mostly because in the community he grew up in he was the only black person. One day, the Terrigen mists arrived and Martin, who was actually an Inhuman, told Jason to embrace their destiny. Jason emerged from his cocoon and was immediately recruited by Lash. He is renamed Korvostax and forced by Lash and the rest of his team to fight the Royal Family, feeling that they were unworthy of being Inhumans. Lash was defeated by Medusa and Jason opted to join the Inhumans in New Attilan. During the fight, he discovered that he had geokinesis, the ability to control the earth and rocks, and could also encase himself in a rock-like body.
While in New Attilan, he learns that his biological family is still in Africa. Soon after he takes the Flint name, Jason finally visits his birthplace Utolan, and discovers his biological mother Irellis and sister Ikelli. Out of respect, Jason changes the spelling of his name to Jaycen. He also starts a relationship with fellow Inhuman Iso.
Flint accompanies Crystal's team in investigating the strange skyscrapers in China. When the skyscraper causes Collective Man to lose his powers and split into the five brothers, one is nearly killed by Flint.

The only differences were that Tibbets, nicknamed Flux, looked more misshapen, his forehead and joints significantly more pronounced, and his transformation was more erratic, parts of him sometimes transforming while the rest of him remained human. Convinced by Ryker that Bruce Banner was responsible for his condition, and had sold gamma technology to the Iraqis, Flux was sent after the Hulk, but the fight proved one-sided and Banner was able to talk him down. Tibbets underwent psychiatric evaluation thanks to Doc Samson, but he was subsequently recaptured and broken by Ryker. Regressed to a childlike mentality and vocabulary, apparently perceiving Ryker as his 'mommy', Flux was once again pitted against the Hulk, but the fight ended when General Ross forced Ryker to stand down. Without Ryker's commands, Flux stopped fighting and broke down, reverting to Benny as he wept for his mother.
Recently, Flux was revealed to be in A.I.M.'s custody, who experimented on him. However, he was killed by Grey of the Gamma Corps during a raid on the A.I.M. base.
During the "Damnation" storyline, Flux was cast down into Hell after his death and is one of the damned souls who Johnny Blaze and Zarathos encounter there alongside Elephantine, a Jack O'Lantern, and Richard Fisk.

She was among the Institute of Evil members who battled the Squadron Supreme in their final attempt to destroy the heroes. When the Institute of Evil was captured by the Squadron and its members mind controlled by the Behavior Modification device, Foxfire and the other former super-criminals became members of the Squadron, to assist them in their efforts to forcibly turn the world into a Utopia. Her criminal record was pardoned, and she became a public crusader and government superhero. She accompanied Hyperion to supervise the behavior modification process at a prison. She finally later began a relationship with Doctor Spectrum.
The hero named Nighthawk opposed the Squadron and formed a rebel group, the Redeemers. He undid the Behavior Modification of Foxfire and several others, and recruited them into his group.
During the final battle between the Redeemers and the Squadron at Squadron City, Foxfire, who was still in love with Doctor Spectrum, tried to gain his approval by betraying Nighthawk, thus allowing the Squadron to win the fight. She used her powers to kill Nighthawk by blasting his heart. Foxfire was then killed by fellow Redeemer Mink, who had been in love with Nighthawk, when she was stabbed through the heart by Mink's artificial claws. The death of Nighthawk caused the Squadron members to realize that they had become the very thing that they had intended to oppose, and thus ended the fight, though not in the way that Foxfire had intended.

## Freak
### Happy Hogan
### Spider-Man villain

A drug addict nicknamed the Freak is chased down by Spider-Man after attempting to steal from the poor at the soup kitchen where Spider-Man's Aunt May works. The Freak stumbles into a laboratory owned by Curt Connors and injects himself with animal gene fluids, thinking that they are crystal meth. A chrysalis forms around the Freak's body, and he later emerges as a skinless monster. After being shot at by police, he falls into the sewer and forms another chrysalis. Emerging as an animal hybrid and completely bulletproof, the Freak tracks Spider-Man by his scent. After a violent confrontation, the Freak gives in to his addictions and finds a meth lab. Spider-Man follows him. During the ensuing fight, the building is set ablaze. The Freak is caught under the flaming debris, but survives and creates a new chrysalis, which has made him fireproof and even stronger. The Freak emerges as an armadillo-like creature and again tries to kill Spider-Man. When Connors arrives with the quicklime that is necessary to incapacitate the Freak, Spider-Man tricks him into thinking that Connors has drugs. The Freak tears open the bags and is covered in the quicklime. He again forms a chrysalis, with Spider-Man pouring quicklime over it to permanently incapacitate him. The chrysalis is taken by a hazmat crew — which is later revealed to be an Oscorp research group.
The Freak is next seen cut open and hooked up to machines in an Oscorp lab where scientists are using his unique abilities to cure various diseases. Norman Osborn injects him with a sample of the anti-venom antibodies to create "super-venom", a virus capable of killing millions with a single drop. He then uses the super-venom to re-power Mac Gargan who was "cured" of his symbiote by Anti-Venom. Osborn also mentions that the Freak is incapable of becoming intoxicated because his body has adapted to his drug addiction by removing the pleasure center of his brain. In the confrontation between Spider-Man and Osborn, Osborn activates the building's self-destruction with the Freak still inside. A search afterwards by Oscorp reveals "no signs of life", which made the team reason that the Freak was killed, with Osborn immediately retorting, "Idiot. Think about it for a second."
During the "Origin of the Species" storyline, the Freak is invited by supervillain Doctor Octopus to join his team in exchange for securing some specific items for him. The Freak goes after Spider-Man for Menace's infant. He collides with the Vulture (Jimmy Natale) before the Rhino arrives.

During the "Absolute Carnage" storyline, the Freak was freed from Ravencroft upon its destruction. Alongside the Will o' the Wisp and Conundrum, the Freak was bonded to a copy of the Grendel symbiote.

In the pages of the "Ruins of Ravencroft", the Freak turns up alive and appears as an inmate at Ravencroft following its rebuilding.

Knowing that he couldn't do anything to harm Unus, Xavier had Freakshow swallow the man whole. Because of Unus' natural force field he was unharmed, albeit shaken when Freakshow vomited him up later. He helps Wicked survive an attack by Magistrates, military forces who were once the murderous law-enforcement arm of the Genoshan government. During their efforts to rebuild Genosha, Freakshow takes on a worm-like form and digests the debris of many shattered buildings to turn it into arable land.
After the events of the House of M, Freakshow is revealed to be one of the many mutants to lose his abilities as a result of the Scarlet Witch's decimation. He has been seen with a number of Genoshan mutants, including Unus the Untouchable and Wicked. In Son of M #5, (June 2006) the traveling mutant Quicksilver convinces him to try the mutagenic compound called the Terrigen Mists, which had been stolen from the Inhumans. Freakshow regains his powers, but for some time, he is unable to change out of his large, monstrous form.

## Christian Frost

Christian Frost is the younger brother of Adrienne, Cordelia and Emma Frost. He was created by Grant Morrison and Phil Jimenez and made his first appearance in New X-Men #139 (June 2003).
Not wanting anything to do with the family business, Christian often clashed with his father Winston. When Winston learned that his son was gay, he threatened to disown him and forced Christian to dump his then-boyfriend and move into the family home with him. Christian refused and cut ties with his family, only remaining in contact with Emma, his closest confidante. In retaliation, Winston used his power to have Christian's boyfriend deported, leading Christian to develop a substance abuse problem as a way to cope with the resulting depression. As his addiction worsened, a concerned Emma asked their father to help him get clean and Winston gladly welcomed his son back before turning on him and locking him in a mental institution to "cure" him of being gay once Emma had left. Following the conversion therapy, Christian was released and reinstated as the heir to the Frost business. Christian subsequently murdered Winston as revenge for the years of abuse his father had subjected him to and took over his business empire.
After becoming suspicious that her father had appointed Christian as heir to the business, Emma visited his mansion and was greeted by her father. Demanding to see Christian, Winston refused and exhibited never-before-seen psychic powers to force her to retreat. Worried for her brother's safety, Emma approached Iceman and he agreed to help rescue Christian from her father. When they returned to the mansion, they fought through several psychic apparitions before discovering Winston's body in his study. While Iceman bought her time, Emma reached out and discovered that Christian was the one causing the apparitions, including that of their father. Emma's attempts to reach Christian's mind were in vain as, in the midst of a mental breakdown causing him to lose control of his powers, Christian was unable to hear her. As the Frost siblings were unable to directly infiltrate each other's minds, Emma created a telepathic link between Iceman and Christian, allowing them to communicate. Iceman, having recently been outed, empathised with Christian's homophobic experiences and managed to calm him down enough for him to regain control. Emma thanked Iceman and decided to stay with her brother to help him come to terms with what had happened and get him back on his feet.
After the mutant nation of Krakoa is formed, Emma re-establishes the Hellfire Club as the Hellfire Trading Company which aims to help distribute supplies in service of mutants, with Emma once again as its White Queen. Emma brings Christian into the fold, appointing him as her White Bishop. Christian begins to become closer with Iceman through his work for the Company and the two begin a casual relationship.

### Powers and abilities

Unlike his siblings, Christian's psychic powers did not emerge when he was younger and appear to have developed much more recently. He has the ability to draw upon and materialize energy from the astral plane and create Avatars of energy constructs or project it as a destructive psionic energy blast which causes both physical and mental damage. His newly manifested abilities are extremely powerful, as his projection of Winston was robust enough to convince Emma, herself a particularly advanced telepath, that it was her actual father.

The Futurist floated towards the Fantastic Four's headquarters, the Baxter Building, displaying his raw power along the way. Once there, Blastaar tricked the Futurist into making an alliance with him, convincing the Futurist that the Fantastic Four were dangerous and needed to be destroyed. Blaastar and the Futurist broke into the Baxter Building, placing the Invisible Woman into a deep slumber.
