Raleigh Lund was born in Simak, Lowengard, in the United States of the alternate Earth of the [[Squadron Supreme]]. Although he appears to be an adult male, his emotional and intellectual development is comparable to that of a child. Originally, he was a member of the criminal [[Institute of Evil]], the Squadron's arch-foes, although, lacking sincere criminal intent, he was mostly following the lead of team leader [[Ape-X]], who had been his friend "for years and years." After the Institute of Evil lost a battle against the Squadron,<ref name="Squadron Supreme #5">''Squadron Supreme'' #5</ref> all of the institute's members underwent behavior modification, their criminal records were pardoned, and they all joined the Squadron.<ref name="Squadron Supreme #5" /> Now, as a public crusader and adventurer, Shape helped supervise the manufacturing of force field belts.<ref>''Squadron Supreme'' #8</ref> He also helped his fellow superheroes and babysat for [[Arcanna]]'s three children, becoming especially close with Drusilla Jones.<ref>''Squadron Supreme'' #9</ref> Eventually the behavior modification was reversed by the Squadron's opponents the [[America Redeemers|Redeemers]], but the Shape, having never been a criminal at heart in the first place, still chose to side with the Squadron against [[Nighthawk (Marvel Comics)|Nighthawk]] and the Redeemers. After the battle, Shape helped get the pregnant Arcanna to the delivery room after she collapsed.<ref>''Squadron Supreme'' #12</ref>

Later, the Shape accompanied the Squadron in a futile struggle against the [[Nth Man]].<ref>''Squadron Supreme Graphic Novel''</ref> As a result, the Shape and the Squadron traveled to Earth. There, Shape and [[Haywire (comics)|Haywire]] were mentally coerced by the [[Overmind (comics)|Over-Mind]] to prevent [[Quasar (Wendell Vaughn)|Quasar]] from following the starship in which the Over-Mind had kidnapped the Squadron Supreme.<ref>''Quasar'' #13</ref>

The Shaper of Worlds was originally created thousands of years ago by [[Skrull]] scientists in the form of a [[Cosmic Cube]] for use by the Skrull emperor to enforce his rule. The Cube developed sentience, and because its mind had been imprinted by the emperor's personality, it lashed out and devastated a significant portion of the Empire before reaching maturity. It was after this that it started calling itself the "Shaper of Worlds" and assumed the form of a white-skinned Skrull with a metallic lower body mounted on tractor treads.<ref>''[[Captain America (comic book)|Captain America Annual]]'' #7 (1983)</ref>

In later appearances, the Shaper uses its powers to create worlds based on specific themes, such as the cultures of the 1940s and 1950s.

Stane is first seen attending a meeting with a large tobacco company after being hired to create a type of tobacco that enhances metabolism, resulting in weight loss. Stane reveals that he only took the job to use the company's resources to upgrade the biotechnology he placed in his body. He swiftly kills the company's board of directors before being contacted by [[Sasha Hammer]] about a group of African [[suicide bombers]] who were test subjects for his biotechnology.<ref name="IIM1">''The Invincible Iron Man'' (vol. 2) #1 (July 2008)</ref> Stane meets with Stark during a party moments before the suicide bombers attack, injuring [[Pepper Potts]].<ref>''The Invincible Iron Man'' (vol. 2) #2 (August 2008)</ref>

This excessive use of the body's energy has shown that Stane must constantly keep his body's blood sugar level high to make up for its rapid consumption. Stane does this by eating a high (20,000) calorie paste.<ref name="IIM1" />

After a fight between Spider-Man and Venom, the former emerged as the victor, using loudspeakers to neutralize Venom, who was taken to the lab for study.

Stunner was originally a video store clerk but she managed to get a job working for [[Lady Octopus|Carolyn Trainer]], a former student of [[Doctor Octopus|Otto Octavius]]. She immediately fell in love with Octavius, her devotion to him only increasing when he used his virtual reality technology to make Angelina powerful and beautiful, dedicating herself to him and everything he did.<ref>''Spectacular Spider-Man'' #221</ref>

She was first seen using her virtual powers to destroy a bar.<ref>''Web of Spider-Man'' #24</ref> While in her Virtual form she tried to resurrect Octavius (who was killed by [[Kaine Parker|Kaine]]) after a battle with Spider-Man. As her real body was tied down into the virtual reality machine, the explosion that followed Otto's resurrection knocked her true form into a coma from which it took her years to awake from.

Upon hearing that her love, Otto Octavius, was dead again during ''[[Spider-Man: Ends of the Earth]]'', she swore vengeance on the one responsible for it: the [[Superior Spider-Man]] (not knowing that he was Otto's consciousness in Peter's body).<ref>''The Superior Spider-Man'' #20</ref>

Using Octavius' machine, Angelina once again took the form of Stunner and tried to hunt down Spider-Man, causing havoc in the city to draw the attention of his Spider-Bots and minions and lure him out. Otto, in Parker's body, tried to calm her down and almost revealed his secret (that he was Otto Octavius), but Stunner's blind rage prevented him from doing so. Seeing no other option, Superior Spider-Man engaged in battle, rendering Stunner powerless with his new and stronger web formula. He then sent a holographic transmission signal via his Spider-Bots and ordered them to shut down the machine Angelina was connected to. As "Parker" went to the university to meet his girlfriend Anna Maria, Stunner broke out of his web and pursued Spider-Man, throwing a bus at him. As he held the bus with his webs, his Spider-Bots managed to sever the connection to the Virtual Reality Machine, destroying Stunner and leaving Angelina unconscious. Upon getting to Angelina's apartment, Spider-Man took the V.R. Machine to his lab, where he created a virtual Otto Octavius back to his former glory to calm down Angelina and make her think Doctor Octopus was still alive. "Parker" used this opportunity to break up with Angelina, saying that he had found a new love with Anna, but would always care for Angelina. She was last seen in her apartment, crying on her knees, as the Virtual Otto Octavius left the scene.<ref>''Superior Spider-Man'' #21</ref>

Little is known of the past of the woman known as Superia, but she was first seen where she and a small army of female supervillains plotted to sterilize all other women in the world, making their reproductive capabilities valuable beyond measure. She was initially inspired to use her scientific knowledge to conquer the world when she discovered, via use of a "time probe", that a descendant of hers, [[Thundra]], would rule the world-spanning [[matriarchy]] of the "[[Femizons]]". Her plan was thwarted by Captain America and his allies ([[Paladin (comics)|Paladin]], [[Diamondback (Rachel Leighton)|Diamondback]], [[Asp (character)|Asp]] and [[Black Mamba (character)|Black Mamba]]).<ref>''Captain America'' #387–392</ref>

== Brenda Swanson == '''Brenda Swanson''' is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, created by [[Kaare Andrews]], first appeared in ''[[Iron Fist (character)|Iron Fist: The Living Weapon]]'' #1 (June 2014).

Brenda Swanson was born from an affair between [[Harold Meachum]] and a cleaner. When Brenda was child, Meachum promised to leave his family to be with her and her mother after returning from his trip to the [[Himalayas]] with his business partner [[Wendell Rand]] and Rand's family. In actuality, Meachum was traveling to [[Features_of_the_Marvel_Universe#Regions_and_countries|K'un-Lun]], where he murdered Rand and left Rand's surviving family for dead. When Meachum returned, he cut off all contact from Brenda and her mother, causing her to blame the Rands. Meachum left Brenda with a small inheritance after his death, and after her mother died, Brenda used her resources to train in martial arts and assassination, becoming a renowned mercenary in the process. After years of training and planning, she decided to enact revenge on Rand's surviving family, his son [[Iron Fist (character)|Danny]], the Iron Fist of K'un-Lun.<ref>''Iron Fist: The Living Weapon'' #12</ref>

Posing as a journalist, Brenda interviews and later begins a sexual relationship with Danny to get closer to him.<ref>''Iron Fist: The Living Weapon'' #1</ref><ref>''Iron Fist: The Living Weapon'' #12</ref> Despite her ulterior motives, she assists Iron Fist in his conflict with [[List_of_Marvel_Comics_characters:_O#The_One|The One]] and the [[Steel Serpent]] and looks after his student and ward, [[Pei (comics)|Pei]], whom she affectionally nicknames "Kung Fu Girl".<ref>''Iron Fist: The Living Weapon'' #1-5, 10-11</ref> After months of dating, Brenda makes her move to assassinate Danny while on a date and reveals her past to him. Realizing that Danny had genuinely fallen in love with her, Brenda finds herself unable to kill him and prepares to shoot herself in the head to punish him, but he catches the bullet; Brenda disappears afterwards.<ref>''Iron Fist: The Living Weapon'' #12</ref>

Brenda later finds herself in the mystical dimension of Kamaloka, where she is forced to participate in gladiatorial matches. Pei and her classmate Jayce are also transported to Kamaloka, but despite her grudge against Danny, Brenda helps Pei in battle long enough for Danny to summon them back to Earth.<ref>''Iron Fist: The Living Weapon'' #5-6</ref>

Brenda forms an alliance with the Hierophant and agrees to collect the hearts of the dragons of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven in exchange for being granted power to kill Iron Fist. Taking on the name '''Yama Dragonsbane''', Brenda hunts down and kills the dragons and despite Iron Fist's and the [[Immortal Weapons]]' efforts, she provides the Hierophant with enough dragon hearts that empower him with their [[Qi|chi]]. Although the Hierophant empowers Brenda with dragon chi, they are defeated by the chi-empowered [[Okoye_(character)|Okoye]]; the resulting clash of chi results in the Hierophant's death and the hearts of the dragons Brenda slain being restored. In addition to losing her dragon chi, Brenda also loses her hands and is blinded, driving her partially insane and furthering her hatred of the Rands.<ref>''Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon'' #3-6</ref>

== Swarm == {{Main|Swarm (Marvel Comics)}}

== Sway == '''Sway''' ('''Suzanne Chan''') is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She first appeared in ''[[X-Men: Deadly Genesis]]'' #3 as one of the "Missing X-Men". She was created by writer [[Ed Brubaker]] and artist [[Pete Woods]].

Originally from [[Hong Kong]], David and Emily Chan became [[naturalized citizen]]s of the [[United States]] after living twenty years in California. They had a daughter named Suzanne, who, at 17 years old, wanted to attend [[Barnard College]] on the east coast of the United States and planned a trip to New York City to prove to her parents that she would be safe on her own after moving. During the trip, David and Emily were gunned down in a crossfire between gangs in [[Chinatown]]. Although standing a few feet from her parents, Suzanne was unscathed, which perplexed police detectives.

After the shooting, Suzanne entered a state of shock. She could only dwell on the fact that when the shooting started, she had somehow stopped the bullets in midair and was able to get herself out of the path of the bullets. In actuality, she had stopped time around the bullets, effectively freezing them in place. Unfortunately, she was unable to do the same for her parents and could only watch as the bullets tore into them.

The police placed the traumatized girl in a hospital for forty-eight-hour observation, during which she mostly slept and cried. When she was released, she was told that the police were looking into things, but they did not have any leads. Wandering the streets, she returned to the spot where her parents were killed. Suddenly, her mutant powers activated again, and she was able to see past events in the area, namely the phantoms of herself and her parents. After witnessing the shooting for a second time, Suzanne followed the phantom car, carrying her parents' murderers, throughout the city. She then realized that she somehow had chronokinesis (the ability to manipulate time), and she was making it replay itself for her.<ref>''X-Men: Deadly Genesis'' #3</ref> Suzanne later joins the X-Men, but is killed by a golem that was created by [[Krakoa]].<ref>''X-Men: Deadly Genesis'' #6 (July 2006)</ref>

When the X-Men establish Krakoa as a mutant paradise, they establish a means of resurrecting mutants, but Sway cannot be resurrected because she was killed prior to the completion of [[Cerebro]]. [[Vulcan (Marvel Comics)|Vulcan]] creates constructs of [[Petra (comics)|Petra]] and Sway, which he believes to be their real selves.<ref>''X-Men'' (vol. 5) #8 (May 2020)</ref><ref>''X-Men: Red'' (vol. 2) #2 (June 2022)</ref> The [[Scarlet Witch]] later upgrades Krakoa's resurrection protocols, allowing for those who died prior to Cerebro's completion to be resurrected. However, Sway is not shown to have been resurrected.<ref>''X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse'' #1 (August 2024)</ref>

Sway possesses the ability to decelerate, stop, and accelerate time around her body, as well as a form of [[retrocognition]] that allows her to replay the recent pasts as short bursts of ghostly images. By focusing carefully, Suzanne is able to slow down and stop objects entirely, enabling her to freeze projectiles in mid-air, immobilize her enemies, and various other effects. Suzanne's training honed her abilities to the point where she can target specific objects in her range or everything within a certain radius.
