Molecule man


The Molecule Man started out as a lowly laboratory technician who worked at the Acme Atomic Corp. But one day, while Owen Reece was bemoaning his position in life as a nobody, a cog in the wheels of the corporation, he became distracted enough to make a mistake that would forever change his life. The atomic machine he worked on blasted him with radiation, and he survived, but the accident gave him power over the very building blocks of existence. Without even knowing his name, the head of the corporation fired him, but Owen used his newfound powers to freeze him solid, using a wand that he believed he needed to focus his powers.

Steel Wind Ruriko Tsumura


Ruriko Tsumura was a gentle artist from Japan who was on a pleasure cruise when the boat exploded. She was washed up ashore, and was found by the Freakmaster, who replaced much of her mangled body with cyborg parts, and she was renamed Steel Wind. She felt honor-bound to serve the Freakmaster, who sent her to disrupt and ruin a series of carnivals. During the course of these missions, Steel Wind came into conflict with the demonic hero Ghost Rider. Steel Wind was subjected to Ghost Rider's hellfire and rendered comatose.
Ruriko's sister Sadae made a deal with Centurious to restore Ruriko, and in return was also turned into a cyborg, known as Steel Vengeance.

Steel Wind later showed up as a member of the all-female army of supervillains the Femizons, and helped attack the heroes Captain America and Paladin, who were investigating the group.
Later, Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance teamed up to attack a carnival, when they again clashed with Ghost Rider, but failed. In retaliation for this failure, Centurious killed Steel Vengeance.
Steel Wind later turned against Centurious, and was about to kill him when Ghost Rider convinced her not to. She rode off, to places unknown.
At some point, a Scourge of the Underworld failed in his mission to kill Steel Wind, and was executed by his employer the Red Skull as a result.

Face (Inferno Baby)


Face was one of the Inferno Babies used to open portals to Limbo and taken by Project Purgatory. Using information from Cameron Hodge, Ten mutant children were kidnapped, by N'Astirh's N’asteris, during the Inferno. The infants arrived in a cemetery, where the demon N'Astirh was attempting to create a permanent portal open between the demon infested dimension of Limbo and Earth.
The infants were teleported to Times Square, where the New Mutant, Magik, was opening a portal to return her teammates from Limbo and N'Astirh, using the babies as the points of an inverted pentagram (focusing beams of power because of their purity and openness to use them as natural, living conduits who could not block the flow of power and who would not know how to shut it off), kept the portal open. N'Astirh attempted to used them, and baby Christopher Summers, who later grew-up to become Cable, to open a portal from Limbo to Earth and was partially successful in merging the two realms. 
The X-Terminators and the New Mutants saved the children.

Meggan Puceanu



Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Born in a blizzard to a British Romanichal family near Fenborough Station in England, Meggan adapted to the cold by growing fur, to the horror of her family. Unfortunately, as an empathic metamorph, the more they saw her as a monster, the more monstrous she became, growing webbing upon her hands and feet, antennae on her head, claws, and patagia. The belief that she was some sort of monster was also affected by the fact that Meggan's birth took place near an ancient British fortress that was rumoured to be the site of dark magics. Meggan's family hid her away in their camper, where she watched television incessantly, totally immersing herself in the fantasy of the various British TV shows of the time (such as Gerry Anderson fare, Quatermass, Doctor Who and many more). Eventually, she met Captain Britain and fought him, but then befriended him. She fell in love with him, joining him as an adventurer. With him, she first encountered Gatecrasher's Technet.
After having been told by a telepath that her inner soul looked as beautiful "as an iridescent butterfly", during combat against a commando of R.C.X.-controlled "Warpies", she stabilized her powers on an attractive form that pleased Brian (and thus pleased her). Captain Britain fell in love right back, and the two began a romantic relationship. Together, they defeated Baba Yaga.
The two had a long and stormy courtship, marred by events both cosmic and mundane.
