Occupation: Former spy and research scientist. Identity: Secret. Legal Status: Naturalized citizen of the United States with no criminal record; secretly maintains his Slovakian citizenship. Other Aliases: None. Place of Birth: Bratislava, Slovakia. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: None Group Affiliation: None. Base of Operations: Mobile, formerly a research facility in Phoenix, Arizona. First Post-Reboot Appearance: (as Blonsky) INCREDIBLE HULK #1; (as Abomination) INCREDIBLE HULK #2. History: An immigrant from Slovakia (formerly part of Czechoslovakia) with a Western education in nuclear physics, Emil Blonsky was also secretly a spy for his native government. In this capacity, he was responsible for collecting information on classified projects and sending that information back to his native country. Blonsky was working as a researcher at the same institution as Dr. Banner when the latter first became the Hulk (see Hulk). Ironically, Blonsky was one of those whom Banner first confided in regarding his condition. Intrigued that such an intense dose of radiation had not killed Banner, Blonsky used an electron microscope to scan both Banner's DNA, the "genetic blueprint" encoded in a person's cells, and his own, ultimately determining that both Banner and himself had a gene sequence which permitted such a transformation to occur. A few days after discovering this, Blonsky increased the dosage of the gamma irradiator Banner had used to inadvertently trigger the mutation, and then turned it on himself, perhaps ironically unaware that the dosage Banner received had already exceeded the irradiator's design specifications. Blonsky was then transformed into a green-scaled creature which some people called an "abomination". Taking the name for himself, he rampaged through the facility, destroying months of research, before engaging in a battle with the Hulk. Despite being stronger than the Hulk in his "calm" state, the Abomination was overpowered by an enraged Hulk. The Abomination fled the scene, only to be followed by both Banner and by the United States Army, after the path of destruction he left in his wake tore through a nearby military base. At present, Blonsky is not known to be the Abomination. Banner suspects that Emil Blonksy and the Abomination are the same person, but is unaware of Blonsky's espionage activities. Height: 6' 6". Weight: 980 lbs. Eyes: Green. Hair: None. Skin: Green. Other Distinguishing Features: The Abomination has two toes on each foot, scaly skin, webbed ears, and a ridged brow. Uniform: None. Strength Level: The Abomination possesses superhuman strength, enabling him to lift (press) approximately 100 tons under optimal conditions. Known Superhuman Powers: The Abomination possesses superhuman strength that surpasses that of the Hulk at the Hulk's normal "calm" functional level. However, where the Hulk's strength is tied to his adrenal gland, with his strength fluctuating with the amount of adrenaline in his system, the Abomination's strength is "fixed". 3 Also unlike the Hulk, the Abomination's gamma radiation induced mutation has proven stable; while the Hulk is able to return to his non-mutated human state, the Abomination cannot. In addition to his strength, the Abomination's body possesses a high degree of resistance to injury, pain, and disease. His skin is capable of withstanding tremendous heat without blistering (up to 3,500°F), great cold without freezing (down to -175°F), and great impacts without injury; he has survived direct hits from 120mm tank cannon and explosive rockets without significant injury. His physiology renders him immune to all terrestrial diseases, and he is probably resistant or immune to most if not all alien diseases as well. Like the Hulk, the Abomination can use his superhumanly strong leg muscles to leap great distances. He has been observed covering close to 2 miles in a single bound. Other Abilities: Emil Blonsky was trained in a number of espionage arts, and has proven to be a skilled if unsubtle hand to hand combatant. He is also knowledgeable in physics and biology. 1,375 points Attributes: ST 33/320 (Size, -10%) [90*]; DX 12 [40]; IQ 11 [20]; HT 14 [40].

Identity: Publicly known. Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with a criminal record. Other Aliases: None. Place of Birth: New York City. Marital Status: Presumably single. Known Relatives: None. Group Affiliation: None. Base of Operations: Mobile. First Post-Reboot Appearance: THOR: GOD OF THUNDER # History: Crusher Creel was a small-time criminal serving a prison sentence for aggravated assault when he was made an unwitting pawn in one of the schemes cooked up by the Norse trickster god, Loki (see Loki). Posing as one of the inmates assigned to work the prison cafeteria, Loki laced Creel's food with a rare Asgardian herb, granting him superhuman powers. Creel used these new powers to break out of prison, after which he was manipulated into combat with the Norse thunder god, Thor (see Thor). He has since clashed with the thunder god on a second occasion. It has recently come to light that the idea to transform Creel into the Absorbing Man was Sif's; Loki simply implemented it (see Sif). Height: 6' 4" Weight: 265 lbs. Eyes: Brown Hair: Bald; has brown facial hair. Uniform: None. Strength Level: Without changing his body, the Absorbing Man has the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercises. When using his powers, he can increase his strength to many times that, ultimately possessing the ability to lift (press) over 50 tons. Known Superhuman Powers: By touching an item, the Absorbing Man can take on its physical properties. For example, by touching a steel bar, he can transform himself into solid steel. Creel has also proven to be able to reattach limbs which are severed while in his transformed state by holding the limb in place and changing back to human. Whether or not he would be able to reassemble himself following a massive dispersal of his transformed body – such as if he was to be shattered while in a state resembling crystal or glass – is currently unknown. Weapons: Creel wields his prison ball and chain, which he was wearing at the time of his first transformation, as a kind of flail. The ball and chain changes as he does, taking on the physical properties of whatever he touches, enabling him to wield it at his full enhanced strength. 930 points Attributes: ST 13 (25/213*) [30]; DX 11 [20]; IQ 9 [-20]; HT 12 [20].

As far as the public at large is concerned, AIM is a legitimate munitions corporation with a sizable research and development department for advanced experimental technology, albeit one that has a shady reputation for questionable ethics. In fact, the United States government agency SHIELD is a known client of theirs (see SHIELD). Secretly, AIM is the number one supplier of advanced technology to the criminal element. A number of costumed villains have purchased technology from them. First Appearance: SECRET AGENT NICK FURY # Game-Mechanic Details AIM is the primary supplier of TL 9 and 10 weaponry for a number of other subversive organizations and villains – and the occasional anti-hero. The average TL of the equipment used by AIM's soldiers is TL 9 with some TL 10 equipment (particularly weaponry), with the occasional TL 11 or even TL 12 experimental device. As such, the TL of AIM's personnel is TL 9. Typical AIM Soldier points Attributes: Secondary Characteristics: Languages: English (Native) (Native Language) [0]. Cultural Familiarities: Western [0].

Occupation: College student, no clear major. Identity: Liz Allen does not use a dual identity. Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record. Other Aliases: None. Place of Birth: New York City. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: Mark Raxton (alias Molten Man, stepbrother). Group Affiliation: None. Base of Operations: New York City. First Post-Reboot Appearance: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1. History: Liz Allen is a young woman attending Empire State University. Liz is on the school's cheerleading squad, and is enamored with Flash Thompson, who is one of the school's star athletes (see Thompson, Flash). She has also found herself involved in several of Spider-Man's escapades, and in fact once held her own against the Rhino, relying on her wits and gymnastic skills to avoid his blows while maneuvering him into a trap Spider-Man was laying (see Rhino; Spider-Man). Of all of her circle of friends, who seem to encounter Spider-Man on a regular basis, Liz has perhaps the most personal experience dealing with the superhuman: her stepbrother, Mark Raxton, is the criminal Molten Man (see Molten Man). Height: 5' 7". Weight: 115 lbs. Eyes: Blue. Hair: Blond. Uniform: None. Strength Level: Liz Allen possesses the normal human strength of a woman her age, height, and build who engages in regular exercise. Known Superhuman Powers: None.

Occupation: Warrior. Identity: Amphibius's existence is unknown to the general public. Legal Status: None. Other Aliases: None. Place of Birth: The Savage Land. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: None. Group Affiliation: Savage Land Mutates. Base of Operations: The Savage Land. First Post-Reboot Appearance: UNCANNY X-MEN # History: The origins of the creature known as Amphibius are currently a mystery. He is – or was – apparently a human who was born in the Savage Land, a hidden "lost world" in Antarctica, who was mutated to his current form in some as-yet unexplained manner (see Savage Land). He and the other Savage Land Mutates first clashed with the mutant adventurers known as the X-Men on the latter's first trip to the Savage Land (see Savage Land Mutates; X-Men). The Mutates' mysterious "Master" ordered them to attack the visiting X-Men, but they were defeated. Amphibius has since been seen with the other Savage Land Mutates in their subsequent clashes with the Avengers and the Brotherhood of Mutants (see Avengers; Brotherhood of Mutants). Of all the Mutates, Amphibius is perhaps the most angry and short-tempered, probably because he resents the inhuman form he has been given. Height: 6' (normally appears as smaller due to his stance). Weight: 145 lbs. Eyes: Black. Hair: None. Skin: Green with black spots. Other Distinguishing Features: Amphibius has the form of a humanoid frog. Uniform: White chest piece with water circulation tubes running to a water tank on the back; water tank is also held by a black belt around his waist. Strength Level: Amphibius has the normal human strength of a man of his apparent age, height, and build who engages in regular exercise. His leg muscles are stronger than his build would suggest, giving him superhuman leaping and kicking ability. Known Superhuman Powers: Amphibius possesses superhuman strength in his legs, enabling him to leap incredible distances and to kick with greater than human strength. In addition, his fingers and toes end in suction cups, enabling him to cling to most surfaces. His eyes have been adapted to see into the ultraviolet spectrum as well as the visual spectrum, enabling him to see fairly clearly underwater. His mutated form enables him to swim at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. Limitations: Amphibius requires near-constant contact with water to avoid dehydrating; his uniform enables him to exist in most environments by supplying excess water. Under normal circumstances, his uniform's water tank will enable him to be active for up to twelve hours before needing to be refilled. 330 points Attributes: ST 11 [10]; DX 13 [60]; IQ 10 [0]; HT 11 [10].
