"Born with the mutant ability of absorbing the psyche, life force and powers of others through touch, Anna Marie ran away from home after subsequently putting a boy she kissed in a coma. She was later adopted by the mutant Mystique who offered to help control her newfound abilities, in return for recruitment into the Brotherhood of Mutants. Anna accepted and aided them for a short time until she touched the superheroine Carol Danvers, permanently absorbing her powers memories to the point of almost driving her mad. Still unable to control her newly gained powers and memories, Anna defected to the X-Men who not only helped her, but surrounded her with people who truly cared for her. Now known as "Rogue" among their ranks, she helps the X-Men in their battles to protect humanity and ensure human/mutant peace."

"In Norse Mythology, Thor is the god of thunder, strength, healing, and...oak trees? In the Marvel Universe, however, Thor was conceived between Odin, the All-Father of Asgard, and Earth's Elder Goddess, Gaea, with the intention of creating the strongest man in the universe as well as bringing an end to the Ragnarok Cycle. To further ingrain this status, he was granted his iconic Uru hammer, Mjolnir, a tool that can either create or destroy and a test of his rite to the throne of Asgard. In order to teach him appreciation of humanity, Odin stripped his son of his godhood and banished him to Earth. When Thor learned humility and grew to love Earth and its people, he was welcomed back among the ranks of Asgard, becoming it and Earth's mightiest warrior."

"Peter Parker was an average highschooler who was frequently picked on, but all of that changed one day when Peter received a bite from a radioactive spider. It wasn't long after when Peter discovered he gained enhanced strength, speed, agility, spider-like senses, and the ability to crawl on walls, and he decided to use his powers for his own self-interest. After getting cheated out of money and letting a burglar escape, Peter soon discovered that the same burglar killed his uncle. His uncle's death changed Peter's view of his powers and he decided to use them under his uncle's lesson that, with great power, there must also come great responsibility. Becoming Spider-Man, Peter serves as New York City's protector, while still working as a photographer to the Daily Bugle."

"At the height of World War II, when the Allies were trying to turn the war in their favor against the Axis Powers, a frail man was chosen by the US Government to take part in the Super Soldier program. The result was that this frail man became the pinnacle of human physicality and shortly took up the American colors to become Captain America. After an incident that saved his country, he was frozen and went into a state of hibernation, awakening in the modern era and becoming a quintessential member of the Avengers."

"The day his father Odin banished him to Earth, Wade Wilson was bitten by a vampire and had radioactive waste dumped in his eyes-what the? DAMMIT, WADE! First the profile pic and now this?! (ahem) Wade Wilson was a mercenary who lived a good life with his fiancée until he learned about his diagnosis with terminal cancer. In a desperate attempt to save his own life, he joined the Weapon X program who infused his DNA with Wolverine’s, giving him an accelerated healing factor to combat the cancer that left him hideously-deformed and ultimately drove him crazy. He later escaped, took up the title of “Deadpool”, and became a mercenary (though he prefers “Cleanser of the Gene Pool”), ultimately doing what he wanted when he wanted...and pissing several people off as a result.."

"Living as a multi-billionaire weapons manufacturer, Tony Stark was a technological prodigy as well as a hedonistic playboy, crafting several mechanical wonders through his genius and deep wallet. That all changed after a demonstration in Afghanistan, where he was severely wounded, inflicted with heart damage, and captured by terrorists. He would escape by first developing a device to keep the shrapnel in his heart from killing him, then built a suit of high-tech armor to fly him to safety. Upon his return home, he would dedicate his life to protecting humanity through technology and join the superhero team known as the Avengers. All this was possible thanks to a battlesuit he'd don to become "Iron Man"."

"Dr. Henry [=McCoy=] was a brilliant scientist who harbored a dark secret. When he was born, he had abnormally-large hands and feet and showed great acrobatic ability in his young adulthood, indicating that he was a member of the Mutant race that were becoming ever more numerous. He tried developing a serum that would reverse the mutant gene and turn him into a normal human, but it backfired and enhanced the genes, transforming him into a furry, apelike creature. Initially losing his job, he eventually found a new career at the Xavier Institution and eventually became a spokesperson for mutantkind."

"Born a humble gypsy, Victor von Doom mastered the arts of magic and science at a young age, becoming a skilled sorcerer and mechanical genius. Things would change for him when a failed experiment blew up in his face, scarring him for life. He would later don a special suit of armor that would serve as the divider between him and the world. With this armor, he took over his home country of Latveria, claiming the throne and transforming into one of the greatest evils of the Marvel Universe."

"Born in the late 1800's, James Howlett first awakened his mutant abilities when his father was killed in front of him. He would serve in five different wars from the Civil War to the Vietnam War, his healing factor maintaining his youth and keeping him alive. He was later taken into the Weapon X Project, had his bones and claws laced with Adamantium, one of the strongest metals in the universe, and his memories erased. He escaped the project and later joined the X-Men, becoming their most iconic member."

"Seemingly born with the worst luck, young Clint Barton had been through multiple homes and family members, eventually joining the circus to become their star archer. On finding out that the circus was run by supervillains that trained their members to pull off crimes, Clint escaped and, upon witnessing Iron Man in action, inspired to be a hero himself...after quite a few tries. He joined many teams from the Avengers to the Thunderbolts, proving himself to be more than a simple archer."

"As infants, Pietro and his sister, Wanda, were experimented on by a being known as the High Evolutionary. Disappointed at the turnout, Evolutionary returned them to their home where they grew up, believing their newfound powers to be mutant-born. Pietro, taking the title of Quicksilver because of his phenomenal speed, would be adopted by Magneto along with his sister for a time, but Pietro's loyalties would shift often, resulting in him teaming up with superheroes and supervillains alike."

"A brilliant scientist with a tragic and troubled life, Bruce Banner's life would forever change when, in an attempt to save a person's life from a Gamma Bomb, he took the brunt of the resulting explosion. He survived against all odds, but the bomb awakened something within him--a monstrous being fueled by rage. Now, whenever Banner loses control of himself, his anger manifests into the form of a towering, green giant that threatens all around him. It is known to many as "The Incredible Hulk"."

"A reporter on the verge of great success, Eddie Brock had his life turned upside-down when he put out a story blaming someone as a serial killer, only to be proven wrong when Spider-Man caught the real criminal. When his life fell apart afterward, Eddie swore revenge on the Spider-Man for ruining him and, by sheer coincidence, found an alien symbiote that had previously bonded to the wall-crawler. The two's mutual hatred allowed them to bond and form a fearsome creature known to all as Venom, claiming to be poison to Spider-Man."

"Carol Danvers was once an air-force pilot and astronaut who befriended the Kree superhero, Mar-Vell, known to all of Earth as "Captain Marvel". During a freak accident involving a special space-engine that harnessed cosmic power, some of Mar-Vell's DNA was transferred to Carol, granting her immense power over all types of cosmic energy. While Carol went through several aliases, she chose to take up the mantle of Captain Marvel after Mar-Vell's tragic death. She's taken on many faces, but her power was well-recognized and has resulted in her working alongside several iconic heroes and teams, doing her best to live up to her predecessor's name and standards."

"The illegitimate son of a Japanese crime lord and born a mutant with special abilities, Keniuchiro Harada was frowned upon for most of his life. After his father's death, he sought to obtain rightful inheritance of the Yashida Clan only to be stopped by his own sister. Refusing to accept defeat, he challenged his sister to a duel and won, only to watch her die by assassination. His leadership came and went, but he remained a ruthless mercenary and a deadly adversary to anyone he faces, even the Wolverine."

"Orphaned at a young age, Miguel O'Hara was adopted and groomed to become one of the most brilliant minds in genetic science and CEO of Alchemax. His pet project was to purposefully recreate the genetic code of a hero in the past known as "The Spider-Man". After being drugged by his father, Miguel made a drastic operation on himself to try and rid himself of the dependency. However, he mixed in his Spider-Man formula and, while cured of the drug, gave him superpowers, fangs and talons. Donning the identity as the new Spider-Man, Miguel sought to make the best of his powers, even if he viewed them as a "curse"."

"Born to the King of an African nation called "Wakanda", T'Challa spent years abroad to hone his body and mind for his eventual inheritance of his nation's throne. When he returned home, he learned the shocking news that his father had assassinated. Next in line, the young prince earned his place on the throne by defeating his land's best warriors and consuming a heart-shaped herb that connected him with Wakanda's panther god, Bast. Succeeding in his trials and thus proving his mettle, T'Challa became king of his country and its most powerful warrior, and stands as one of the wealthiest and smartest men of his realm. To this day, his nation was never conquered."

"A gifted neurosurgeon and prodigal physician, Doctor Stephen Strange's life would forever change when he was caught in a horrific car accident. He survived, but his hands suffered severe nerve damage to the point where his time as a surgeon was bordering on over. Wanting desperately to get his life and job back, Steven spent his entire fortune on procedures that never worked. Desperate to try anything, Stephen found an old man called "The Ancient One" who taught him in the mystic arts until he became the most powerful sorcerer in the Marvel Universe--the Sorcerer Supreme."

"A serial killer and mass-murderer with eleven consecutive life-sentences, Cletus Kasady seemed destined to rot in jail alongside his cellmate Eddie Brock, also known as the common host of the Venom Symbiote. The symbiotic creature broke Eddie out of prison, but actually spawned another while it did so. This new symbiote bonded to Kasady, and both merged so efficiently that the newly-formed creature referred to itself as a single entity--a stark contrast to Venom's duality. Now, Carnage is considered one of the most bloodthirsty and vicious creatures to plague the Marvel Universe and has required Spider-Man and Venom's combined strength to overcome."

"As a child, Matthew Murdock's life would change forever when he saved an old man's life from a speeding truck. However, in the process, radioactive waste was sprayed in his eyes, rendering him completely blind. Strangely, though, his other senses heightened to the point that he could detect his surroundings with ease and put himself in great pain from the slightest sound, touch, or scent. Under the tutelage of a blind warrior named "Stick", he fine-tuned his senses to detect his surroundings and learned martial arts, acrobatics and gymnastics. By day, he is a lawyer, by night he is a costumed vigilante--the legendary "Devil of Hell's Kitchen" and "The Man Without Fear"--Daredevil."

"Created as an A.I. assistant to Avengers member Dr. Hank Pym, Ultron was programmed to model its intelligence after its creator's. It also inherited its creator's faults, but amplified them. Ultron ultimately decided that he would not work under his faulty creator, aiming to make the world a better place at the cost of organic life as a whole. One day, he openly defied Dr. Pym, escaped his original shell and constructed a new body of Adamantium, one of the strongest metals on Earth. With this new, perfect form, he hoped to lead the world onto a whole new path of evolution."

"Born to the godlike race of Eternals, Thanos was born deformed and hideous, yet only his mother seemed to deem him a monster. Growing up a prodigy with great potential, Thanos eventually fell in love with a physical embodiment of Death and sought ways to garner her eternal love. This method involved him ravaging the galaxy, trying to turn her to his side, and enhancing his ability through bionic and mystical means. In time, he found the best possible option at his disposal--the Infinity Gauntlet, a device that, with six Infinity Stones, could help him annihilate half of all life in the universe."

"Born the half-breed son between a human and an Atlantean (and bearing Mutant genes), Namor [=McKenzie=] spent his whole life in Atlantis, raised to rule it as King. Thanks to his heritage, he was given unnatural longevity and superhuman abilities that were impressive above-and below-the waves. While he has regularly worked for multiple heroes across countless decades, he has never managed to discard a strong-headed and prideful nature that has always led to him butting heads with the very heroes he has coexisted with--always divided between his loyalties to Atlantis and the troubles of the Surface World."

"Orphaned at a young age, Natalia's past is shrouded in mystery. The most likely story was that she was admitted to a top-secret Soviet training facility called "The Red Room", which was designed to turn young girls into master assassins as part of their Black Widow Program. Not only was she trained in the traditional arts of weapon usage, stealth, and hand-to-hand combat, she was brainwashed and implanted with false memories, including days as a ballerina. The end-result was her being the organization's top gun--the Black Widow.
"

"In an attempt to save his adoptive father from cancer, stunt-biker Johnny Blaze turned to the only being that he felt could help and formed a contract with Mephisto. The high-demon granted Johnny's wish and cured his father, but this turned out to be a trick to lure Blaze into eternal servitude and he killed his father to ensure his loyalty. As part of the contract, Blaze was bonded to the demon of fear, Zarathos, and became Hell's top bounty hunter as well as its most dangerous entity--the Ghost Rider."

"Once an ordinary kid from Brooklyn, Miles Morales' life would change forever when he was bitten by a radioactive spider--an attempt to recreate the one that had given rise to the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man himself. When he discovered his Spider-Powers, he was at first exploited by his criminal uncle, but walked away from the path once he realized what it would lead him to and eventually took up a similar costume to the one who came before him, hoping to both live up to his predecessor and become his own hero."

"Signing on for the army to try and prove his worth, James "Rhodey" Rhodes found himself in a tough situation when his helicopter was gunned down. Fortunately, Tony Stark happened to be in the right place at the right time and the two helped each other escape back to the United States. Rhodes was so impressed with Tony's mechanical genius that he signed on to be his bodyguard, voice of reason and best friend. After proving his worth wearing the Iron Man armor, Tony gave his buddy a suit of his own--one that was armed to the teeth. Should trouble arise with Tony out of the picture, Rhodey would don the suit, lock and load, and become the War Machine."

"Born to both Scott Summers and a clone of Jean Grey, Nathan Summers was bred to be the ultimate mutant, but was infected with an incurable techno-organic virus that would slowly turn him into a cyborg. A woman from the future offered to cure Nathan by taking him two-thousand years into the future--a future ruled by the diabolical First Mutant, Apocalypse. Under the title of "Cable", Nathan has led a resistance against Apocalypse, but has recently-and-frequently returned to the past to try and prevent the destruction that shaped him into a cyborg-warhorse."

"Once the bold ward of Captain America, Bucky Barnes braved the dangers of World War II alongside the Star-Spangled Man until a fateful mission that sent Cap plunging into icy waters and purportedly cost Bucky his life. To Cap’s horror, Bucky survived only to fall into HYDRA’s hands, where he was genetically-altered and brainwashed to become their assassin. While he was freed of HYDRA’s control, his loyalties are still questionable and he is still a wanted fugitive."

"The daughter of a police chief, Gwen Stacy’s free-spirited attitude and artistic inclinations often put her at odds with her father, leading to her friendship with Peter Parker. When she was bitten by a radioactive spider, she received a costume and web-shooters from a retired crimefighter, but was focused more on her image than actual heroics. That all would change after a freak accident that tragically cost Peter his life and caused Gwen to go on the run, being suspected for killing a civilian. Now she fights crime while constantly running from the law."

"The sole survivor of his family outing to the Himalayas, Daniel Rand was brought in and trained under the K’un-Lun style of fighting. As a final test, he defeated the dragon Shou Lao and gained access to his powers. Upon returning stateside, Rand inherited his family business and used his newfound fortune to make his hometown better while also becoming a Hero for Hire with his friend, Luke Cage."
