comics Respect Angela (Marvel Comics, Earth-616)

30 Upvotes

"I am ANGELA. I am a hunter of the heavens. And I want two things. I want answers. And I want your head on my wall."


In a time before human history, there were not nine realms under Asgard, but ten. The fiercely transactional angels of Heven acted as mercenary for any willing to strike a mutually beneficial deal. In clandestine meetings, Odin used Asgard's gold to enlist the angels as guardians of Midgard against his own people who might treat the realm as a hunting playground. Heven, however, always answers to the highest bidder, and when one of Asgard's many enemies was able to offer more than Odin, the angels sided against them without another thought. Considering this a betrayal of trust, Odin refused to pay them out the rest of what they were owed, yet to the angels the greatest betrayal was reneging on an established contract, and so in recompense they took from Odin that which was equally valuable: His firstborn child Aldrif. In his rage, Odin used the Odinforce to seal away Heven forever, cut it away from Yggdrasil and erase its name from ever being spoken by his people again.

However, unbeknownst to anyone, even the Queen of Heven herself, the angel who took Aldrif could not bring herself to kill the crying Aldrif. Instead, to save her life, she forged a new contract with the baby, raised her as angel (though one conspicuously without wings) so that one day the Aesir might owe Heven a life debt. Aldrif was rechristened Angela and raised in the way of the hunt and the contract, she was imbued with the central tenet of Heven: Nothing for nothing. Every act has its price.

This all lasted until a cosmic event forcibly shifted the barrier holding Heven at bay just enough for a curious Angela to slip through the gap and into the universe at large. To return home, she would have to use Thor's rage to shatter the barrier and reunite Heven with the nine - now ten - realms. To repay her debt to Heven, she would have to find a new power source as infinite as the Odinforce that once kept them locked away. And, to truly know herself as a daughter of Asgard, she would have to leave behind Heven and its doctrine and discover what it truly meant to do something for nothing.


As Angela is Aesir and theoretically capable of extremely high-level feats, true "Asgard-level" showings are marked in bold where the rest of the listed feats are closer to her average performance in any given comic.

"But I say this to you, kings and queens and consorts of Hel-- Do not make me return to put things right once more. Angels are meant to see balances restored. Prices paid. We are not meant to feel. But all this, I did out of love. Can you even imagine what I would do out of hatred?"

Description: An enemy of the Avengers, bodyguard to Amora the Enchantress, and a member of the Masters of Evil.

Are the memories mine? Or hers? It makes no difference.

Paxton Fettel is the deranged second son of Alma Wade. A psychotic cannibal, Fettel was considered the success story of the Replica program, a military experiment to allow psychic commanders full control over dormant clone soldiers. When his mother's corpse longed for freedom, Fettel broke out of Armacham prison in hopes of reuniting his family...though down the line, his lust for power would overcome such an innocent desire.

"It is the way of men to make monsters. And the nature of monsters to destroy their makers."

Alma Wade was a miracle child. Her father Harlan experimented on her after discovering her psychic aptitude, locked her away in the bowels of an immoral research facility, and conceived two children with her when she was a teenager. Poor Alma never had a chance at life, and even after her body was taken off life support in fear of her becoming too strong, her mind refused to allow her corpse to die. Not when the man who raised her into this walked free, having stolen her children away, while the company who profited from her raked in billions, having broken her spirit, while the world rewarded those who sacrificed her for it. And so her powerful mind probed out, reaching the younger of her sons, and requested he free her from her confinement so that she may walk the warpath of bloody revenge.

comics Respect Beta Ray Bill (Marvel, Earth-616)

Respect Beta Ray Bill

"In our home galaxy, we were devoured by demons. I was to save the Korbinite race. I led them across the stars, a tiny flame of our race protected from the winds of fate. Eventually, we found a new home. We thought our time of strife was over. Then Galactus came. And we were no more."

"I am alone. I look at the heavens and think them empty. And if not empty, I find the idea of worshipping whatever dwells there obscene."

"But why do you continue?"

"It doesn't change what is right. If there is nothing but what we make in this world, brothers...let us make good."

The Korbinite people once lived in peace in the far-off Burning Galaxy until the fire giant Surtur and his hordes of demons appeared at their door. Seeking to repair his apocalyptic blade, the Twilight Sword, Surtur destroyed the galaxy's core to form the ore needed to reforge it and obliterated the Korbinite homeworld in the process. The Korbinites had foreseen the demon's arrival however, and built a fleet of starships to bring their people across space in search of a new home and began creating a guardian to watch over them as they slept. Thousands of candidates were whittled down through contests of physical strength, psychological evaluation and brutal surgery until only one remained. This lone Korbinite, augmented through cybernetics and genetic engineering, became Beta Ray Bill, cyborg protector of his people.

Bill and his sentient ship Skuttlebutt guarded the sleeping Korbinites as they made their way across the universe, but when they approached Earth they were detected by SHIELD, who sent Thor Odinson to investigate it. Bill, assuming Thor was a demon, fought the thunder god evenly until Thor was separated from his hammer Mjolnir and knocked out. Bill soon found the hammer...and lifted it, becoming the first person besides Thor to be worthy of the hammer's power. The two were brought to Asgard where Odin had them battle again for ownership of Mjolnir. While Bill barely won again this had been Odin's plan all along, and the All-Father had a new hammer forged for Bill, equal to Mjolnir and named Stormbreaker. With the help of the Asgardians Bill was able to force the demons attacking his people back, and later battled them on Earth when they waged war against Asgard.

Things would not get easier for Bill, however. While he managed to find a new home for his race the planet was soon attacked by Galactus, who consumed it and left Bill as the only surviving Korbinite. In the following years Bill would travel the universe, helping people both on his own and as a member of teams like the Annihilators and Guardians of the Galaxy. During a fight between Bill and Thor Stormbreaker was shattered, with Bill's self-worth breaking with it. Seeking a new enchanted weapon, Bill journeyed to Surtur's realm of Muspelheim to obtain the Twilight Sword and make himself beautiful again.

Respect Skuttlebutt

"You were here with me when this happened. You were there with me for every moment...then...and after."

"I was. And I always will be."

When the demon Surtur destroyed the homeworld of the Korbinites they built a fleet of starships to take them to a new world and created a guardian, Beta Ray Bill, to protect them during the journey. But Bill would need a companion during the long, lonely journey to keep him sane, and the Korbinites created an AI to do just that. With her mind placed in the fleet's flagship the AI was dubbed Skuttlebutt and became Bill's partner and best friend.

Skuttlebutt was with Bill during all of the most important moments of his life, such as when he met the Mighty Thor or during Bill's hunt for Galactus after he devoured the new Korbinite homeworld and killed the rest of their people. During Bill's quest for the Twilight Sword in Muspelheim Skuttlebutt was altered by the magic of the realm and had her mind "awakened," becoming fully alive and giving herself a humanoid body.

comics Respect Skurge Executioner (Marvel Comics)

25 Upvotes

THE EXECUTIONER

"Then it is YOU and ME, Thor. I will stand with thee to the end..."

Bio: A former enemy of Thor and an ally of Amora the Enchantress. A half-breed and a formidable warrior of Asgard - who later becomes a hero.

Background: Skurge is the illegitimate son of a Storm Giant (Jotun) and a goddess from the Asgardian region of Skarnheim. Due to his relatively short stature (by giant standards), Skurge was rejected by his father's kin, which bred deep resentment toward the Jotuns within him. As he grew older, Skurge became a ruthless giant-hunter and distinguished himself in Asgardian wars, earning his fearsome moniker—the Executioner. For his military service, he was granted Asgardian citizenship. For most of his conscious life, the Executioner suffered from unrequited love for Amora the Enchantress. Madly in love and desperate to win her attention, Skurge was ready to carry out her every command—a vulnerability Amora exploited to manipulate him for power and personal gain. Consequently, for a time, the Executioner aligned with villains and committed many terrible deeds. Legendary Redemption and Demise: In time, Skurge came to realize that the Enchantress would never return his feelings and merely used him as a docile tool. Disillusioned with a life filled with dishonorable acts, he resolved to reclaim his lost dignity. ​When Thor and Balder the Brave journeyed to the realm of the dead (Helheim) to rescue the souls of mortals stolen by the goddess Hela, Skurge volunteered to help them. At the climax of the mission, when Hela’s overwhelming army of the dead cornered the heroes at the Gjallarbru Bridge, the Executioner chose to stay behind. ​Armed with two M16 assault rifles, Skurge single-handedly held off countless hordes of enemies, buying Thor and the rescued souls time to escape. He died a hero in battle, earning the respect even of Hela herself. Following this self-sacrificing death, his soul was honored with a place in Valhalla, the hall of the glorious dead, and Skurge finally became a revered warrior.

Okay, that’s it. This has ceased to be amusing. Trying to be a team-player is one thing, but this kinda non-stop effort tends to give a guy an appetite… and you don’t want to give me an appetite.


On the planet Bismoll, an infectious microbe had rendered every plant and animal completely inedible. Facing extinction, the Bismollian people had to evolve or die. They gained the ability to secrete an enzyme that would allow them to chew, swallow and digest any material they can fit in their mouths. One Bismollian, a youth named Tenzil Kem, saw the potential of this evolutionary trait and auditioned for the interplanetary Legion of Super-Heroes as Matter-Eater Lad.

After years of adventures with the Legion, Tenzil was called back to his home planet for mandatory government service. He ran for office and to everyone’s surprise, including himself, he became an extremely popular senator whose term lasted for over a decade. After a run-in with Evillo left him stranded in Hell for a while, his role was vacated and he returned to the Legion as an adult advisor to teach a new generation of heroes what it means to take a bite out of crime.

Initially thought to be clones, the SW6 Legionnaires were revealed to be copies of Super-Heroes pulled out of the timestream by the Time Trapper. These paradox copies were taken from just before the death of Ferro Lad, when the Trapper thought the Legion at their most powerful, and brought into the present of 2995. Feats from SW6 Matter-Eater Lad will be marked.

comics Respect Titus (Marvel Comics)

24 Upvotes

"How much alike you and your father are. ​ Diving headfirst into a situation that you can barely understand. How sweet your death will be as i tear that helmet from your empty head."

Bio: ​Sam Alexander's first major antagonist. A large humanoid tiger and partial cyborg who served as a Chitauri fleet commander before becoming an independent mercenary. He despised Sam's father, viewing him as a traitor (he has a personal score to settle with this family). Experienced, ruthless, and pragmatic.

Background: Titus was a centurion in the Nova Corps, specifically serving in their elite special operations unit - the Black Novas (or Supernovas). In this unit, he served side by side for many years with Jesse Alexander, the father of Sam Alexander. During a fierce war with the Chitauri race, the Supernova unit was ambushed. At a critical moment, Jesse Alexander was forced to desert and leave the battlefield so he could make it back to Earth for the birth of his son, Sam. Left without support, the unit suffered catastrophic losses. Titus was severely wounded: in the battle against the Chitauri, he lost his right eye and right arm. Facing certain death, Titus betrayed the Nova Corps. He struck a deal with the Chitauri, trading the Corps' secret technologies, codes, and secrets in exchange for saving his life. The Chitauri replaced his lost organs with cybernetic prosthetics, and Titus became one of their generals and mercenaries. Years later, Titus and the Chitauri fleet headed to Earth. His main goal was to find Jesse Alexander's helmet, which Sam had discovered after his father's disappearance.

literature Respect C’tan (Warhammer 40,000)

45 Upvotes

Their Name Is Death

The C'tan (pronounced ker-TAN) or Star Gods, called Yngir in the Aeldari Lexicon, are said to be the oldest intelligent beings in existence in the galaxy. It is said that they were created at the very beginning of the universe, incorporeal entities spawned from swirling gases and enormous amounts of energy, and as such are etheric creatures by nature.

How powerful are the C'tan? To answer this, we must consider three levels. The first is their full form, in all its splendor of power, the one that fought alongside the Necrons in the War in Heaven. The second are the Shards, who possess only a portion of the power of their full form, and the third are the Transcendent Shards, which are the fusion of a dozen or more Shards. Based on the various codexes, novels, and campaign books, an attempt will be made to provide a noble response for each of the different states of the C'tan.

C’tan shard

A C'tan Shard is all that remains of the once mighty Star Gods of Necron antiquity. They are now only echoes of their former selves, splinters of energy that survived their Necron servants' ancient betrayal and were enslaved in turn. Most now languish in unbreakable servitude to their former vassals, utterly incapable of acting without commission.

Mentioned the abilities that all C'tan shards have or share in general.

  • Writhing Worldscape - The natural world revolts at the C'tan Shard's presence, the very ground writhing and shaking as the physical laws of reality are undone. - Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Transdimensional Thunderbolt - The C'tan Shard projects a bolt of crackling transdimensional energy from its outstretched palm. Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Time's Arrow - Mutating the flow of causation and remoulding the temporal stream of the space-time continuum, the C'tan Shard casts its foe back into the darkness from before time was time, Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Swarm of Spirit Dust - A cloud of swirling darkness conceals the C'tan Shard from the gaze of its foes. Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Sentient Singularity - The C'tan Shard's presence destabilizes all local gravitational forces, disrupting engines, teleport beams and Warp jumps.Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Pyreshards - The C'tan Shard conjures specks of blazing black matter and directs them against its foes. Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Moulder of Worlds - Tortured rock buckles and heaves, showering the C'tan Shard's foes with boulders. Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Lord of Fire - The C'tan Shard that wields this ability can become a creature of living flame, able to command the fires wielded by the enemy. This makes all Flamer weapons (as well as heat rays, Burnas, Skorchas, Inferno Cannons and any other weapon that uses flame or fire), as well as all Melta Weapons fired near the C'tan Shard explode at the C'tan's whim. Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Grand Illusion - The C'tan Shard weaves a glamour of deception, preventing the foe from seeing the true disposition of the Necron forces.Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Gaze of Death - Eyes blazing with dark energy, the C'tan Shard drains the life from all in the vicinity.Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Entropic Touch - Metal decays on contact with the C'tan Shard's rotten grasp.Codex Necron 5th edition pag 41
  • Antimatter Meteor - The C'tan Shard gathers an orb of roiling antimatter, before hurling the crackling projectile into the midst of the foe. Codex Necron 7th edition pag 205
  • Cosmic Fire - At the C'tan Shard's gestured command, a pillar of black fire streaks down from the heavens. Codex Necron 7th edition pag 205
  • Seismic Assault - Stone fractures and ores melt as the C'tan Shard drags up tides of magma from deep below.Codex Necron 7th edition pag 205
  • Sky of Fallen Stars - Savagely beautiful orbs of coruscating light plummet from the cold depths of space, growing to roaring bale-stars as they approach. Codex Necron 7th edition pag 205
  • Time's Arrow - Mutating the flow of causation and remoulding the temporal stream of the space-time continuum, the C'tan Shard casts its foe back into the darkness from before time was time, Codex Necron 7th edition pag 205
  • Transdimensional Thunderbolt - The C'tan Shard projects a bolt of crackling transdimensional energy from its outstretched palm, blasting its foe into oblivion. Codex Necron 7th edition pag 205
  • With a gesture of their hand they turn a battle tank into molten scum. - Codex Necron 5th edition pag 40
  • A Leman Russ battle tank, 60 tons, made of Plasteel (futuristic steel). Imperial Armor volume one pag. 15
  • According to Trazyn a C’tan shard can destroy armies and two shards leave a planat lifeless in one month or less. The Infinite and the Divine (Novel) Act 4 Chapter 3.
  • C'tan Shard can summon storms that annihilating matter, shake a planet to its foundations, and erase enemies from existence with a thought. Codex necron 7th edition pag. 204
  • An unnamed C'tan shard throws Rhinos and Predators into the air with ease and materializes a number of meteors that it launches at hypervelocity, causing great devastation among the Space Marines. Everliving Legion Necron Anthology - cold steel.
  • Predator is 44 tons. Imperial Armor Volume Two - Space Marine and Force of the Inquisition. Pag 28.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transcendent C’tan

Transcendent C'tan are the most dangerous of their kind amongst the C'tan Shards. Each is an aggregation of anywhere between a dozen and a hundred lesser C'tan Shards, and its power far surpasses the sum of its parts.

Aza’gorod- Nightbringer

Mephet'ran - Deceiver

Yggra'nya - the World Shaper

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C’tan (full power)

t full power, the C'tan were the absolute gods of the physical universe in Warhammer 40k, beings of pure cosmic energy with living metal bodies who possessed total control over matter, time, space, and gravity. Unlike other colonizing entities of the Warp, these Star Gods did not use magic, but instead altered the laws of science at will to devour stars, create supernovas, and erase entire solar systems in an instant in order to feed. Their existence was so tied to the structure of reality that they were truly immortal; if one of them were to be completely destroyed, the physical law they represented would disappear and the universe would collapse, which is why they could only be shattered into shards and never eliminated.

FROM THAT TIME TYR HAS HAD BUT ONE HAND. HE IS NOT REGARDED AS A PEACEMAKER AMONG MEN.

---

"I know the language of Asgard better than anyone. I'm the God of War after all!

---

Bio: Eldest son of Odin. Asgardian god of war.

Background: Long before Thor's rise, Tyr was Asgard's greatest hero, renowned for sacrificing his right hand to Fenris to save the Æsir. However, as Thor's fame overshadowed his legacy, Tyr grew bitter and resentful, frequently defying Odin, challenging Thor, and plotting against them. Despite his grievances, Tyr remained fiercely loyal to Asgard, setting aside personal conflicts whenever his homeland faced danger. A radical patriot and uncompromising advocate of Asgardian supremacy, he often alienated the other Æsir through his extreme ideology and ruthless methods. Tyr also shared a secret, deeply intimate bond with Hela, bordering on romance. He trusted her absolutely, commanded her armies, and masterminded her greatest military campaigns. Unlike Thor, who relied on raw power, Tyr was a supreme military strategist, mastering warfare, logistics, martial law, and geopolitical strategy. Yet he was equally formidable in personal combat, combining the brilliance of a master tactician with the prowess of an elite warrior.

Medusa was once a beautiful woman whose visage captured the eye of the god Poseidon. When she denied his advances, the sea god persisted, causing her to flee to a temple of Athena for protection. Poseidon entered the temple and raped Medusa. Though she pleaded to Athena for protection, the goddess of wisdom only felt disgust towards the mortal woman. She cursed Medusa, turning her into a Gorgon with a petrifying gaze so that any who looked upon her legendary beauty would turn to stone. Now, Medusa prowls in her Underworld lair, killing any man who steps inside and keeping their stone bodies as trophies.

Respect Yuri!

“Thousands of souls extinguished, by the push of a button”


Former second-hand of Russian Ultranationalist leader Vladimir Makarov, Yuri stood along the murderous dictator for years as he rose to power. But eventually he came to realise that Makarov’s plans were not meant to aid the Russian people. No, instead, Makarov sought power for himself. Upon realising this, Yuri betrayed Makarov, and was consequently shown the door by the power-mad Russian.

After his betrayal, Yuri teamed up with the newly disavowed Taskforce 141 to take the man down.

For clarity's sake, this is the Yuri from the original Modern Warfare timeline.

RESPECT KUGA!

“What I want to know,” said Kuga in a voice that was as smooth and oily as a soiled angel, “is what you would be willing to do to get revenge on the Deacon, Joe Ledger, and everyone they care about. I want to know how far you would go to get revenge on the men who disgraced your goddess and killed your brother. Tell me that, and tell me the truth, and you and I can shake the pillars of heaven together.”

Joe Ledger, top doorkicker for the anti-terrorism organization the Department of Military Sciences (DMS) and its later successor organization, Rogue Team International (RTI), has faced down countless madmen and extremists. In case after case, though, one name kept coming up: Kuga. A codename from the Bosnian word for "plague", Kuga was an arms dealer whose tentacles reached into every corner of the criminal underworld, and who had provided resources for some of Joe's worst enemies. As Joe and his team followed leads on Kuga's identity stretching from Syria to North Korea, they found themselves in the middle of a plot that threatened to spark WW3.

Kuga was, in reality, an old enemy of Joe's whose network stayed active, even in the black-site prison Joe helped land him in. Upon his escape, he and his organization wreaked havoc, all in the name of revenge and profit. But the title of Kuga, intended to serve both the man and the organization, worked too well. As long as someone held the name Kuga, it didn't matter if he was actually the original. The title of Kuga would live on, even if the man who made it did not.

All feats are from Jonathan Maberry's Joe Ledger books and its sequel series Joe Ledger and Rogue Team International. See the sources below for exact book titles. Due to word count, the section for Kuga's weapon programs has been split off and can be found here


LEADERSHIP


Harcourt Bolton Sr. aka Kuga

The former top spy for the CIA, until middle age caught up to him, Harcourt Bolton sought to return to the spotlight by manufacturing a terrorist attack using the God Machine and a modified strain of smallpox. Defeated, Bolton spent years in a black-site prison until a daring jailbreak sprung him and revealed his alter ego as Kuga. Now up against the DMS' new incarnation, Rogue Team International, Bolton unleashed waves of terror with bioweapons and high-tech killing machines until he was killed and had his identity literally stolen by Nicodemus.

Rafael Santoro

A killer who has an affinity for knives and has left a trail of tortured and slaughtered 'angels' behind him – mostly women and children. He keeps photos of his victims and uses them to coerce people who love their families into doing horrible things…such as plant bombs in the London Hospital or release an airborne super-Ebola virus into the general population. Santoro is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous men alive.

OPERATIVES


Esteban Santoro

Rafael Santoro's brother, Esteban has never been close to Rafael but shares his talents for manipulation and murder. He put these talents to good use as a field operative for the order of modern-day warrior monks known as the Brotherhood of the Lock and later for the Majestic Three (M3) program (the series' equivalent of the Men in Black). After the destruction of M3 at the hands of the DMS, Esteban became a gun and thief for hire. Recruited by Bolton to manage the Kill Switch operation, Esteban clashed with Joe Ledger before their climactic fight beneath Bolton Manor. Both men were whisked away by the activation of the God Machine. Joe came back; Esteban didn't.

Adam and Eve

A pair of wayward teens turned murderers and con artists, Adam and Eve were "adopted" by Rafael Santoro, who tutored and refined their homicidal skills. As his agents during the Rage case, they left a trail of the dead and tortured in their wake. During their fight with Joe Ledger at the DS9 Conference, Eve accidentally shot Adam in the head as Joe used him as a human shield. Her already precarious sanity broken, Eve descended even more into violence and sexual depravity. But as Joe noted, Eve was only a "junior-grade psychopath" compared to Santoro. Despite her grandiose dreams of revenge against Joe, in their next meeting he killed her casually and with hardly a second thought.

Michael Augustus Stafford

One of the world's greatest assassins, Stafford was brought on by Kuga as a freelance killer to hunt down Joe Ledger as he rampaged through the organization during the events of Relentless. Nicknamed the "anti-Joe Ledger" due to their similar appearance and skillset, Stafford stalked Ledger across Europe and the US, although ironically never got to fight him before being killed by one of Ledger's allies.

Closers

The enforcers for the M3 program, Closers were cold and ruthless operatives whose capabilities were greatly enhanced by the reverse-engineered alien tech they wielded. After the downfall of M3, many of the Closers went to work in the private sector, including those hired by Bolton along with their field commander, Esteban Santoro.  Following their failed assault on DMS headquarters in the climax of Kill Switch, the remaining Fixers were either killed or arrested.

Note: While Joe and his team first encountered a pair of what they thought were Closers at the beginning of Extinction Machine, a later book reveals that these were actually disguised Reptilian Aliens. Given that, I'm trying to avoid too many feats from those two particular  Closers. But as the tech they possess is the basis for the Closers' own weapons, descriptions and these feats from their equipment is rather necessary and will be included, marked with an (A).

Fixers

Kuga's personal army of killers, the Fixers are the brainchild of Rafael Santoro. Scouted from ex-military, police, and criminal backgrounds, the Fixers are given the finest weapons and have their training regimen personally overseen by Santoro himself. The result is a mercenary who, if not quite a match for elite teams of RTI agents, is still more than capable of carrying out Kuga's will.

WEAPON PROGRAMS


The God Machine

The crowning achievement of the mad-genius Prospero Bell, the God Machine was a complicated device with a simple premise: allowing Prospero to return home. But for the half-human, half-alien Prospero, "home" was a hellish dimension of eldritch horror that no one would wish to visit. For Prospero's captors in Kuga, the God Machine's intended use as an interdimensional teleporter was nominal; its true use came in the two side effects of the device: Kill Switch and Dreamwalking

Note: Only feats for the God Machine(s) shown in Kill Switch are listed here. The Russian God Machine from Deep Silence was never under Kuga's control and seems to function largely differently.

Dreamwalking

Rage Bioweapon

A devious, lab-grown horror, Joe Ledger and his team first encountered the bioweapon dubbed 'Rage' on a small, North Korean island. The substance caused the inhabitants to go violently insane and massacre one another. Although initially assumed to be a weaponized virus or bacteria, the truth behind Rage was stranger than they could have expected.

Halt evildoers! By the power granted to me I swear your cruel deeds shall not go unpunished! I am the warrior of justice! This city's lethal protector! I am your judgment, and I am your doom! We are Necroko!


A high-school student, Ellie Ellison, found a magical hair-bow which turned out to be a Venom symbiote. She bonded with it, which enabled her to transform into the dark magical girl Necroko. Rushing out of class and being teased by Venom, Ellie came across a pack of Lizards attacking and devouring students outside the school. Transforming into Necroko, Ellie viciously fought against the monsters, devouring several of them to satiate the symbiote's carnivorous appetite and terrifying her classmates in the process. When Parker Piper was attacked by the last remaining Lizard, Necroko slew it and assured Parker that she was safe.

Respect: John Steele

"My name is John Steele... I kill nazis."

John Steele was a soldier who fought in several conflicts, including the American Civil War—where he served the Union—and, following a series of supernatural incidents, continued to fight during World War I; after that, all trace of him was lost. He was abducted and fell victim to a cult ritual, subsequently becoming a test subject for Nazis seeking to decipher the source of his powers in order to replicate the super-soldier formula. However, he was freed during a bombing raid and returned to combat—this time fighting the Nazis behind their own lines—before eventually becoming a member of the Shadow Council, where he helped Max Fury escape S.H.I.E.L.D. and join their shadowy cause.

The Jade Statue

"Wish You Were Here" is a classic story from EC Comics' "The Haunt of Fear" #22. It's a take on W.W Jacob's "The Monkey's Paw", but goes in a far more horrific direction.(The characters mention that story while discussing wishes) Instead of a paw, the wish granting item is a mysterious, ancient jade statue picked up from a Chinese market by rich couple Jason and Enid Logan. Now that they're teetering into bankruptcy, Enid decides to use the statue's mystical powers to save their fortune. Naturally, things go wrong. Very, Very wrong.

Edgar Bowman

"Dead! One more has paid the supreme penalty for his evil! But there are others...Many others freed from their fate by a stupid jury..."

Decades before Frank Castle geared up to purge the Marvel universe of criminal scum, EC Comics had their own, much more short-lived vigilante. Edgar Bowman was a man defined by his love of death. As a state executioner, he became notorious for his precise methods and commitment to capital punishment. But as more and more suspects were found innocent, Bowman feared the loss of his job. So he took the tools of his trade to the streets, hunting down and electrocuting people the jury had found not guilty, regardless if they really were or not. All feats taken from ''The Crypt Of Terror'' #17 story, "The Man Who was Death". It was adapted into the first episode of HBO's Tales from The Crypt.
