::  At 88 tons, it has approximately 270 tons of lifting capacity. It will hang above a conveyor belt and pull iron and steel material. Put somewhat more visually, that is the equivalent of suspending 260 horseless carriages. <br> Electromagnets essentially consist of a conductor metal, such as copper of aluminum, wound around a steel core. Direct electrical current fed through the unit generates the powerful magnetic field.

'''The Avengers Battle the Space Phantom'''
 
:: '''So what happens?''':
 
::: As the Avengers have their monthly meeting a shape changing alien crash lands on Earth and takes the form of a bystander. His victim is sent into Limbo while he uses his form and the alien sets off to attack the Avengers.
 
::: The Avengers see him coming and the Hulk is sent to confront him. Taking the place of the Hulk he starts insulting the avengers when they ask what happened to the intruder. After starting the team fighting amongst themselves he smashes out of the mansion and starts tearing up first the NYC streets and then a missile base.
 
::: The Missile base had been testing a Stark design and Iron Man is sent to investigate. The Space Phantom becomes a passing insect and leaves Iron Man fighting the real Hulk. The Wasp and Giant-Man intervene but Hank gets dragged into the fight although they do manage to work out what is going on.
 
::: Jan flies to get Thor who breaks the battle up with a rainstorm which rusts Iron Man's armour shut. The Phantom decides that Thor would make a great host and tries to steal his form, he is surprised to find himself chucked into Limbo because he can't Thor
 
::: As the Avengers congratulate each other the Hulk is less than happy, he thinks that the Avengers were too quick to distrust him and that they must really hate him. He becomes the first member to quit the team.
 
:: '''So is it any good?''':
 
::: It isn't as good as #1 either artistically or as a story but it is ok. Reinman suits the Space Phantom very well adding a tinge of skulking menace to a pretty standard alien design but he is less suited to the actual Avengers.
 
::: The Space Phantom's powers dont really make too much sense, the man whose shape he uses to break into the mansion returns to the spot where he was copied when he is freed but the Hulk is dumped in the middle of the fight the Phantom has engineered. Thor also claims that the reason he was sent to Limbo was that he could only imitate humans but he had already imitated a wasp (an actual one, not Jan) and a meteorite.
 
::: The story is basically an excuse to have the heroes fight each other and Hulk vs Iron Man takes up a lot of the room just as in #1. Another echo of #1 is that Thor only turns up for the conclusion, maybe Stan had already realised that he could spoil the balance of the team.
 
:: '''Is it a landmark?''':
 
::: We see out first team meeting, get our first glimpse of Hank as Giant-Man, get the first villain to debut in the book and have the first member quit.

: involve the Golden Dawn, maybe replacing them with members of the Hellfire Club, Doom could end up in league with them in an effort to free his mother. This is all a ruse and he is being used so that the Dawns master Mephisto can manifest himself on earth. Dooms recognises his foolish error and attempts to redeem himself and work with the heroes, they have to venture into hell to close the gate and this results in Doom sacrificing himself and becoming trapped in hell....well till the next time!!!

: the Whole Alister Crowly thing and the Golden Dawn is kind of Bunk. So I say don't have him replace the Hellfire Club because that would be retarded, the Hellfire Club is a cooler concept then the Golden Dawn. Just have Crowly be that worlds version of Baron Mordo, and he could be regarded as a fool by most.

: A Prussian noble named Wolfgang Struker has decided to create an empire for Prussia which rivals the British empire. Aiding him in his quest are Baron Heinrich Zemo and Johann Schmidt, a disfigured mercenary who claims to have fought in the American Revolution (the validity of this is suspect, considering it would make him almost a hundred years old, and he carries himself as if he were a man of thirty, but few call him on it and live to tell the tale). Struker has assembled an impressive army, and the banner for the army is Struker's family crest: a Hydra.

: To make them even more of a threat, Struker has also enlisted the aid of a swedish scientist named Arin Zola, who has been studying Darwins theory of natural selection and has expanded greatly upon it. Rumor has it he is building a race of creatures which are half human, half rat.

This time helping the alien Kree government who are kidnapped Mutants for dissection. Perhaps thwarting them from stealing Professor Richard Reed's scientific time Machine.

: One only joins the Hellfire Society by invitation, and the club’s distinct silver ink on black stationary missives always seem to find their way into the recipient’s hand, without passing through normal post channels. Almost as if they were delivered by unseen ghostly hands. But such an invitation means the Hellions have been watching, judging, and assessing- and if you meet their peculiar standards, that ominous black envelope will find its way onto your nightstand or into your smoking jacket’s pocket.

: The Hellions tend to stick to the shadows, lurking in the darkest streets and social circles and political back rooms, moving through the dark places of the world and of society with the easy grace of nighttime predators. They partake of London’s rich and miserable underworld, managing vice and crime rather than trying to stamp it out in a moralist crusade, and they are known to keep scandalously close ties to some of the worst villains in London- though if truth be known, since the Club opened, the criminal underworld of London has been quieter, cleaner, better organized, and less obtrusive. Vice may still rule the slums, but no longer do evil men exclusively rule that vice.

: More troubling perhaps than the rumors of criminal ties, the Hellfire Society is said to be involved in all manor of occult goings-on- spiritualism, the worship of foreign gods, pagan mysticism, invoking the dead, and sorcery of the blackest sort. But despite this reputation for unseemly congress, the Club is still consulted regularly by Her Majesty’s officials on matters of the deepest state secrets. The Hellfire Society serves the empire like a keen-eyed helmsman guiding his ship through dark, shoal-torn waters. Without the Club’s guidance and uncanny insights, the ship would surely founder and break on unseen dangers.

Or perhaps even one of the Dead yourself. No matter how freakish, bizarre, unseemly, or scandalous, if your heart is sound, the Hellfire Society will welcome you.

Despite the grevious nature of his crimes, he seems unafraid of the hangman's noose. Perhaps more disturbingly are his confederates whom seem to have the strength of many men.

Scotland Yard is utterly baffled by the notes that claim responsibility for they are signed by Stephen Rogerson. A great British Patriot and Captain of the Armies whom disappeared while doing special work for her majesty not too many years ago. It is also covered in a special seal that is a Hydra.

: A little detective work and a narrow call to prevent the London Bridge from being blown up will note that most of London's underground is being recruited by Brock and his gang. They primarily focus on immigrants but the core is being recruited from the lower class with a mixture of nationalist rhetoric touched on with class warfare ideas (i.e. National Socialism but don't call it that). Either on the bridge or rescuing Brock they will confront the Mastermen whom fight to the death but may reveal the fact that they are only pretending to be English, they're KRAUTS!

Moran is also mentioned in His Last Bow as an example of those of Holmes's many adversaries who have futilely sworn revenge against him. Colonel Sebastian Moran was also the villain in Doyle's Sherlock Holmes play The Crown Diamond written in the early 1900s but not performed until 1921. However, when this play was adapted as the short story The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone, Moran was replaced by Count Negretto Sylvius.

: Bullseye grew up in The Bronx, where he lived with his brother and his abusive father. His brother's main form of recreation was playing with rifles, leading Bullseye to become an expert shot. When he was 10 years old, his brother started a fire in their home in an unsuccessful attempt to kill their father. Shortly thereafter, Bullseye was placed in a foster home, and became a baseball player in high school. Bullseye was an extremely talented pitcher, and was offered a scholarship, but instead opted to enter the minor leagues. After three games, he was called up to play a sold-out Major League game. He had surrendered no hits the entire game, and in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, he became bored and requested the coach pull him from the game. The coach refused, and insisted that he finish the game. The opposing team's batter mocked him, accusing him of cowardice. Bullseye threw the ball at his head, killing him. As the ball struck, he said only one word: "Bullseye". He was barred from professional baseball and convicted of manslaughter.

: His cold demeanor and unique skills, however, meant subsequent recruitment by the National Security Agency as an assassin was inevitable, and he was soon assigned to train Contras in Nicaragua. By the time he arrived, however, he claimed to have already been planning to leave the NSA. He had planned on robbing the Contras blind and fleeing, but soon discovered they were desperately poor. Bullseye made the best of the situation: within seven hours of being informed of their poverty, he had led the Contras in seizing a landing strip that the Colombian cocaine smugglers were using as a staging area before moving on to the United States. Without use of the airfield, the smugglers were unable to send new shipments. Bullseye set up Paolo, his hapless Nicaraguan translator, as the leader of the new force controlling the airfield, and let the word spread around. However, Paolo was nothing but a patsy. Bullseye planned to invite several organized crime heads to the airfield to broker a new deal with him as Paolo's supposed "right hand man". He would take their money and disappear, presumably leaving Paolo to suffer the wrath of the Mafia, Russian Mafia, Yakuza and various other criminal elements. This outcome is unknown, as before the deal could be finalized, the Punisher (Frank Castle) arrived.

This is lucky, because after Chen returns to work everyone around him begins to sicken and die, including his wife and two children. Chen is blamed and driven off by the surviving railroad workers, but their blame is justified: Chen is now giving off radiation, ten years before Marie and Pierre Curie would discover the concept. Now Chen is living as a hermit, bitter at the loss of his family and his freakish appearence, as well as his mistreatment in general, he has begun to lash out at nearby downs and at his former employers, endagering people with his rampages and even moreso with his radioactive aura.

===Space Phantom===
 
[[Image:Phantus.gif|frame]]
 
:  '''Origin Issue''':  Thor #281
 
:  '''Height''':  6' 8"
 
:  '''Weight''':  215 lbs
 
:  '''Eyes''':  Blue
 
:  '''Hair''':  Red
 
:  '''Distinguishing Features''':  Like all members of his race, the Space Phantom has webbed hands and feet
 
:  '''Occupation''':  Servant of Immortus, (former) military strategist
 
:  '''Place of Creation/Birth''':  Planet Phantus, Phalbo system, Milky Way Galaxy
 
:  '''Known Allies''':  Immortus, the Grim Reaper, HYDRA
 
:  '''Special Skills/Abilities''':  Knowledge of sophisticated alien technology far in advance of present day Earth; advanced knowledge of time travel
 
:  '''Superhuman physical powers''':  Ability to assume the appearance and powers of virtually any single mortal being.  At the point that he assumes the being's likeness, the model is automatically shunted to Limbo, and materializes exactly where he/she was when "shunted."  The Space Phantom has no difficulty imitating a number of people in rapid succession, nor does there appear to be a time limit on the period in which h can imitate someone
 
:  '''Special Limitations''':  The Space Phantom appears to not be able t duplicate beings who possesses magical enchantments (such as Thor); when he attempts to duplicate such a being he is himself shunted into Limbo
 
:  '''Source of Superhuman Powers''':  Bestowed upon him by Immortus
 
:  '''Origin''':  The alien who would become known as the Space Phantom was born on Phantus, a world whose people had mastered time travel before attempting space travel.  For the Phantoms, a bellicose race engaged in endless civil wars, the invention of time travel devices caused massive changes in strategy.  It was now possible to alter the course of battles by doubling back through time to either pre-empt an attack or add reinforcements to a defense.  A battle soon became a constantly-shifting event, as opposing forces altered its outcome by causing reality to diverge to encompass ever-increasing numbers of new factors.  Finally, at a particularly significant and massively mounted battle, so many divergences occurs that the local fabric of the space/time continuum briefly ruptured, generating an access point, or "hole" into Limbo.  Just prior to this calamity, the Space Phantom, a military strategist of high rank, foresaw what would happen and escaped in a chronal capsule.  The capsule, however, was damaged in transit and the Space Phantom was stranded in Limbo.  There he encountered Immortus, the master of Limbo, who offered to free him from the timeless realm if he would bring Immortus subjects to study.  To do so, Immortus granted the Phantom the ability to assume the form of virtually any being he encountered, thereby causing the being duplicated to be cast into Limbo where Immortus could then study him or her.  Although the Space Phantom despised Immortus, he agreed to his terms and was dispatched to the vicinity of Immortus's home world Earth.  The Space Phantom reasoned that if he could single-handedly defeat the Avengers, his people, once free of their temporal catastrophe, would have no problem conquering the Earth someday.  However, when he attempted to dimensionally displace the Asgardian god Thor, he himself was dispatched to Limbo since his power could not overcome Odin's various enchantments on Thor.  The Space Phantom slipped back to Earth through a magical interdimensional aperture created by Thor's half-brother Loki to send a mortal to Limbo.  The Space Phantom then took the place of the wounded Madame Hydra as head of a splinter group of HYDRA who survived the destruction of the main organization.  This deception was ended when the Phantom attempted to duplicate Rick Jones (who at the time was co-existing in the same body as the Kree Captain Mar-Vell).  Unable to assume both forms at once, he was shunted back to Limbo himself.  The Space Phantom remained in Limbo, with no means of escape, until Thor entered Limbo while attempting to make a journey through time.  The Space Phantom enlisted the Asgardians' unwitting aid in freeing his planet from its dangerous temporal predicament.  By depleting his hammer's time travel powers.  Thor was able to push the planet Phantus out of Limb into real space at a point in time after its temporal catastrophe.  The Space Phantom, however, has remained in Limbo, still subject to Immortus.
 
:  The Space Phantoms are the servants of Immortus, the Master of Time. For many years it was assumed that there was only one Space Phantom, but in the course of the Destiny War the Avengers discovered that there was more than one. During a journey back in time to 1873, a trio of Space Phantoms was caught impersonating the Gunhawks and the Black Rider.
 
:  Immortus traps individuals who become lost in Limbo, and due to the nature of that plane, they begin to forget their former lives and change into misshapen beings. Immortus conditions these into servants who can perpetuate his schemes and manipulations of historical events. The Phantoms can assimilate anyone, even to the point of torture and escaping notice of even mind-readers.
 
:  The first Space Phantom first appeared in Avengers vol. 1, #2, copying Giant-Man, Iron Man, and Hulk. During his battle with the Avengers, he attempted to copy Thor and was banished back to Limbo because his powers couldn't affect Asgardians. The Space Phantom was the cause of misunderstandings between the other Avengers and Hulk which led Hulk to quit the team (over comments and actions taken against him by the others).
 
:  The original Space Phantom is revealed to be disguised as Spider-Man in the Beyond! series.
 
:  '''Powers and abilities''':  A Space Phantom can assume the form of objects or living creatures, temporarily shunting them into limbo until he resumes his natural form or that of another object or creature. Assuming the form of certain powerful creatures (notably when he attempted to turn into Thor in Avengers (vol. 1) #2) can result in the Space Phantom being forced back into limbo instead. While in the form of another creature, the Space Phantom gains all the abilities of that creature.
 
:  '''Significant Issues:'''
 
:*  Avengers #2:  first appeared on Earth, battled Avengers, shunted back to Limbo when he attempted to mimic Thor
 
:*  Avengers #106-108:  allied with Grim Reaper; impersonated Madame Hydra, and commanded a division of HYDRA in that identity, battled Avengers, shunted back into Limbo when he attempted to mimic Rick Jones who as then linked to Captain Mar-Vell
 
:*  Avengers Giant Size #4:  compelled by Immortus to impersonate Mantis to deceive Kang
 
:*  Thor #281-282:  attempted to trick Thor into freeing the planet Phantus from Limbo; allied with Thor to save Phantus
 
:*  Rom #19:  encountered Rom in Limbo
 
:*  Avengers #268:  encountered Avengers in Limbo
 
:*  Spectacular Spider-Man #168-170:  used as pawn by the Young God Calculus in scheme pitting Spider-Man against the Avengers
 
:*  Thor #281:  "This Hammer Lost!",  '''Synopsis''':  Thor dwells upon what he has learned about the Eternals and the Celestials (in Thor Annual #7).  He decides that he will travel back in time to when the Celestials first appeared on Earth.  But once in the time stream, Mjolnir vanishes and Thor is left in a land of fog and shadows.  He is then confronted by the Space Phantom, who tells him he is in Limbo.  He tells Thor of his planet, Phantus, and that his hammer is probably at it's core.  Thor agrees to help him save his planet, if he will help find Mjolnir.  Once on the surface, they are repeatedly attacked by the warring Phantoms.  The Phantom leads Thor to a complex containing a shaft that leads to the core.  Thor leaps in, but it was a trap.  The Phantom planned on using Thor's immortal body like a cork to keep Phantus from slipping completely into Limbo.  What he didn't know is that for half of Thor, 60 seconds have past, so one half of his body is Thor, the other half is Don Blake.
 
:*  Thor #282:  "Rites of Passage",  '''Synopsis''':  The Space Phantom realizes that his plan is not working and checks on Thor.  He discovers that he is losing his godly attributes and transports him out.  Thor returns to normal and confronts the Phantom.  He tells Thor that he does not know where Mjolnir is but he thinks he can find it.  He leads Thor to the castle of Immortus, where they are confronted by Tempus.  Thor and Tempus battle back and forth, until finally, using Tempus' own club, he is defeated by Thor.  Thor and the Phantom enter the castle and find Immortus holding Mjolnir.  He tosses it to Thor casually telling him that he wanted to investigate its temporal properties.  In return for the knowledge, he tells Thor the truth about himself.  With Immortus' help, Thor saves Phantus, but had to sacrifice every iota of temporal energy in his hammer.  Thor does so, but he will never again be able to travel through time.  Immortus then transports Thor back to his own time.

He could bring his fist down hard enough to smash through wood. Later, he had the hand modified by Dr. Enderle into a cybernetic replacement, strong enough to crush steel. The new hand contained a razor-sharp blade in its thumb, a poisoned dart in the index finger, a flame thrower in the middle finger, tear gas in the third finger, and a master key in the pinky finger. <br> Colonel Klaue was in charge of Festung von Furcht, where the jet-propelled plane Thunderer had been developed.  <br> To regain lost favour with Hitler, Klaue led a mission to Africa, but his plane crashed in the country of Wakanda, and Klaue was the only survivor. Klaue was nursed back to health by the chieftain Chanda, and Klaue befriended him. Klaue was fascinated by the sacred mound in Wakanda, and named the metal found there vibranium. He had the Wakandans build the Panther Totem icon, demanding that they worship it as a god instead of a brother spirit. When Chanda refused, Klaue opened fire on him, and killed Chanda's wife Nanali. Chanda escaped into the jungles, and returned as the Black Panther, and defeated Klaue, ripping off his steel hand. Klaue fled Wakanda.

::  Ulysses Klaw was working as a physicist at the Technical University at Delft when he designed a sound transducer that was able to convert sound waves into physical matter. However, he needed an element known as Vibranium, which only existed in a small African country known as Wakanda. In order to obtain the needed amount, Klaw hired a group of mercenaries and traveled to Africa in search of it. He found the Wakandan tribe and their leader, T’Chaka, guarding the vibranium, which was part of their sacred mound. Klaw demanded that they give up the mound, but they refused and he ordered his men to kill T’Chaka. They gunned the chief down in front of his young son, T’Challa, who had never before witnessed gunfire. Klaw then used his superior weaponry to massacre the tribesmen and burn down their village. In response, T’Challa stole Klaw’s sound-blaster from one of Klaw’s men and turned it on him, shattering his hand. <br> <br> Incensed by the Wakanda’s retaliation, Klaw returned to the Netherlands and vowed to return one day to exact revenge. To that end he created a sonic gun he called a force glove to replace his hand. Exactly ten years later, Klaw returned to Wakanda to find T’Challa in the guise of the Black Panther; ruling the tribe in his father’s place. With the help of the Fantastic Four and Wyatt Wingfoot, the Wakandans again repulsed Klaw. During the battle, the Panther fought Klaw face-to-face, eventually overloading his machines and left, believing him defeated. <br> <br> In frustration, Klaw leapt into his own sonic converter in the hopes of giving himself the power to defeat his enemies. It worked and Klaw’s being turned to pure, living sound. Klaw later came after the Fantastic Four, trying to force them to bring him the Panther; but after a fight with the group, Mister Fantastic defeated Klaw when he radioed the Panther who sent him vibranium knuckles to absorb Klaw’s power, which Reed used to beat him into unconsciousness. The Thing then crushed his sonic-gun arm to disable him and they handed him over to the authorities. Klaw was freed from prison by the Crimson Cowl and invited to join the second grouping of the Masters of Evil. The new Masters of Evil eventually fought and captured the Avengers, but then were beaten and Klaw was again imprisoned, only to be set free and returned twice more. <br> <br> Later, while traveling to Wakanda to attempt to steal a device that would strengthen the mental-disintegrating powers of Vibranium, Klaw was defeated by the Thing and the Human Torch, as well as the Black Panther. He was also briefly a member of the Frightful Four, invited by the Wizard. Klaw was defeated and thought destroyed many times afterwards, but every time he managed to rematerialize thanks to his body of living sound.
 
 
 
::  '''Origin'''
 
::  Ulysses Klaw is a Dutch physicist (born in Vlaardingen, Netherlands) working in the field of applied sonics at the Technical University at Delft, he designs a sound transducer able to convert sound waves into physical mass. The theoretical element necessary to make his device work is vibranium, a substance known to exist only in certain meteoric deposits in the small African nation of Wakanda. Desperate for a sample, Klaw organizes a team of mercenaries to help him seize the element from the African tribe who guarded it, the Wakandas. When T'Chaka, the leader of the Wakandan cult of the Black Panther, refuses to yield any of the metal from the sacred mound, Klaw orders his men to kill him. Witnessing his father's death, T'Chaka's adolescent son T'Challa seizes Klaw's sonic blaster weapon and aimed it at the marauders, shattering Klaw's right hand with one burst and scattering his troops with a second. <br> <br> Driven away, Klaw vows to return and wreak vengeance. When he reaches civilization, Klaw has his mangled hand amputated and fitted with a claw-like prosthetic device into which he built a sonic-force blaster. Ten years later, he mounts a second attack on the Wakandas and is opposed by the Fantastic Four and T'Challa, now the Black Panther, who has succeeded his father as ruler. Thwarted again, Klaw leaps into his massive sonic converter device (the vibranium for which he had acquired criminally on the open market), hoping to gain superhuman powers to combat his foes. His gamble was successful and Klaw was transformed into a creature whose body was composed of "living sound." In his new form, Klaw battles the Fantastic Four and is pummeled into unconsciousness by Mister Fantastic wearing vibranium knuckle guards and taken to prison.
 
::  Determined to prove that the rare mineral Vibranium existed, and needing the ore to power his sound transformer (which could theoretically turn sound into mass), Klaw led a mercenary force into the hidden African country of Wakanda, using his talents of geology to track the Wakandan Vibranium meteor, and demanded that King T'Chaka give up his people's rights to Vibranium. T'Chaka refused, and Klaw had his men gun him down, killing him. The mercenaries turned their guns on the people, scattering them. T'Chaka's young son, T'Challa, stole a sound-blaster and returned to the village, where Klaw and the mercenaries were scattering, pillaging, and burning things down. <br> Klaw sold some Wakandans, including N'Jadaka (who would become Killmonger) into slavery. <br>  hattered Klaw's right hand. Klaw retreated with his men, vowing to return for the Vibranium. Ten years later, Klaw, his hand replaced with a 'metal force glove', returned to Wakanda and set up his machinery in a deep cave near the Vibranium mound, his sound transformer now operating, and giving him the ability to create sound constructs and control them. He secretly used these constructs to terrorize the locals. He heard of the hero the Black Panther, but he believed him to be a myth. Klaw's prosthetic could tap into his machines and turn sound waves into solidified sound which Klaw could shape to his will. He began terrorizing the land with various sound constructs. <br>  reports of a giant predator, and came across Klaw's gigantic sound-gorilla. It attacked them, but exploded into energy when they shot it. Before they could recover, an enormous sound-elephant attacked them, and they ran for it. Another sound-gorilla charged at the Vibranium mound, absorbing the energy discharges fired by the locals and returning the fire. The cave exploded with Klaw inside, and all of his sound-constructs dissipated. Trapped in the cave and devastated, Klaw jumped inside his own sound transformer. Now a being of solidified sound. 
 
::  a new invention, the Vibrotron, which was capable of augmenting Vibranium.
 
 
 
::  '''Global supervillain'''
 
::  Klaw is soon freed by the Crimson Cowl, an alias of Ultron, and invited to join the second Masters of Evil. The Masters of Evil manage to capture the Avengers, but they later escape. Klaw is subdued by his old foe, the Black Panther. Too powerful to be imprisoned by conventional means, Klaw escapes and frees some of his cronies from the Masters of Evil. A second foray against the Avengers is less successful than the first and Klaw was again subdued. <br> <br> Managing to escape custody again, Klaw journeys back to Wakanda where he helps steal a device capable of augmenting the metal-disintegrating property of a vibranium alloy. Encountering the Thing, the Human Torch, and the Black Panther, Klaw is defeated. <br> <br> Klaw later joins forces with the murderous Solarr and traps the Avengers within a solid sound barrier. Klaw threatens to execute them if the Black Panther does not abdicate the throne of Wakanda to him. The Panther manages to subdue Klaw and Solarr before he could make good his threat. <br> <br> Klaw is later freed from prison by a member of the extra dimensional race of Sheenarians, who wish him to use his sonic powers to help open a dimensional portal big enough for their invading armada to enter Earth. Klaw agrees and after a skirmish with Ka-Zar in London, travels with the Sheenarian to the Savage Land where there is a vibranium deposit large enough to create the portal. After Ka-Zar repulsed the invaders, Klaw flees into the Sheenarian dimension, and unable to salvage anything substantial from his allies, uses their technology to return to Earth. <br> <br> Materializing in the Nexus of All Realities located in the Florida Everglades, Klaw happens upon the wand of the Molecule Man. Helping the Molecule Man find a body to possess, Klaw and his new ally travel to New York to wreak revenge on their common enemy, the Fantastic Four. Klaw is subdued by the visiting Impossible Man. <br> <br> Klaw begins to realize that his sonic powers have been waning over the years and undertakes an elaborate scheme to manipulate a youth gang into restoring him to full power. Although the scheme works, Klaw is overpowered by the Black Panther.
 
 
 
::  '''Prisoner'''
 
::  Klaw's prosthetic device is recovered and taken to Project Pegasus, a government energy research facility, for analysis and safekeeping. When Solarr, another ward of the Project, is inadvertently freed from his containment cell, he seeks an ally to help him escape from the heavily-fortified facility. Finding Klaw's hand-blaster, Solarr thinks that the Project is responsible for killing him and throws the device angrily against the wall. The sonic vibrations of the impact provided the necessary energy for Klaw, whose mental essence had found refuge inside the prosthetic device, to reconstitute his solid sound body. The two criminals' attempt to escape is thwarted, however, and Klaw collapses back into his sonic device. <br> <br> Project scientists soon revive him again in order to study him. Weeks later, when the mutant Dazzler was at Project: Pegasus to have her sound-transducing powers tested, Klaw tricks the mutant into helping him escape confinement. Realizing her mistake, the Dazzler uses her body's sound absorbing abilities to siphon Klaw's energies totally into herself. Klaw's mental essence, rendered unconscious, is also transferred to the Dazzler. When the Dazzler expends the vast quantity of energy that is Klaw while aboard the starship of the world devourer Galactus, the advanced alien circuitry of Galactus's craft absorbs it and Klaw's mental essence.
 
 
 
::  '''Freed'''
 
::  Some time later, Galactus is among the many beings assembled for study by the omnipotent extra dimensional Beyonder. Needing to consume the energy of a planet-sized object, Galactus sends for his solar system-sized home base, to which his starship is docked. Doctor Doom, another of the beings abducted by the Beyonder, steals aboard Galactus's home base to find weaponry to battle first Galactus then the Beyonder. While trying to fathom the alien technology, Doom uses Galactus's machines to bodily resurrect Klaw, whose mental essence had been flitting through the circuitry of the base. Beginning with this resurrection, Klaw is entirely made of solidified sound, even his prosthetic weapon. As a result of his experience in disembodied form, Klaw is mildly insane when Doom restores his form. Doom nevertheless exploits the fact that Klaw's energy-form was attuned to Galactus's ship and carves up Klaw's non-organic body into special lenses. These lenses enable Doom to siphon the energy released when Galactus converts his home base into fuel. Succeeding in the audacious scheme, Doom attacks the Beyonder. Doom believes he has totally eradicated the Beyonder from existence, but the Beyonder instead takes refuge inside Klaw's now restored energy form. After witnessing how Doom handles his omnipotent power, the Beyonder manipulates Doom into returning it. The Beyonder then dispatches Doom and Klaw back to Earth. <br> <br> A crueler and no longer insane Klaw is among the villains assembled by the newest Crimson Cowl in the newest incarnation of the Masters of Evil, only to meet defeat by the Thunderbolts. <br> <br> During an attempted prison break, Klaw was attacked by Ms. Marvel. She absorbed his sound blast, causing his form to lose cohesiveness and be sucked inside his sonic claw. <br> <br> He has since appeared (Post-Civil War) as a (fifth) member of the Wizard's latest Frightful Four, restored by the Wizard via a sound file found on Bitorrent.
 
 
 
:: '''Powers and abilities'''
 
::  Klaw is a being composed of psionically "solidified" sound. He has superhuman strength, durability and endurance, and can normally lift approximately five tons. As a being of pure sound, Klaw does not need air, food or sleep and he is immune to diseases and most impacts. His form is resistant, if not immune, to telepathy. He is highly resilient and his body malleable, and he can reconstruct if sliced or discorporated. He can grow into a giant or shrink by absorbing or dissipating sound. He has also mixed other substances into his body, once adding water to become a kind of watery giant. <br> <br> The solidified sound generator that replaces Klaw's right hand accomplishes various tasks, most often projecting sonic blasts and dealing blows with waves of solid sound. Klaw can project deafening sonics or focused blasts that are powerful enough to obliterate solid steel. Klaw can manipulate sounds in numerous ways. He can sense his surroundings using sonar, absorb or manipulate area vibrations, and project various sonic frequencies. He can cause vertigo, hypnotism, and burst the eardrum of victims. He can deafen anyone in a .6 mile radius. <br> <br> Klaw can project solid sound constructs and creatures, called Sominals, under his mental control. They can speak if he wills it. The Sominals tend to have superhuman strength and durability, shown capable of matching an enhanced Thing during Klaw's brief membership in the Frightful Four, but not to be as durable as Klaw himself. He has also created bullet-proof walls, sonic armor, and even a baseball team. He has also made balls of solid sound that are capable of absorbing sound mass independently. Klaw can reabsorb his constructs at will. <br> <br> Klaw can transport himself by transforming himself into non-solidified energy. While propelling himself at the speed of sound he was able to smash through the hull of a battleship. Klaw has also transported himself and his various teammates inside his constructs. <br> <br> As an expert in physics, vibranium, and advanced weaponry, Ulysses Klaw is a bona fide scientific genius. <br> His prosthetic "sound claw" is now composed of solidified sound like the rest of Klaw.
 
::  Klaw's prosthetic hand can create sound waves of dangerous volume, fire concussive blasts of sound, and create sound constructs in any desired shape at his command. Due to his body being living sound, Klaw needs absolutely no sustenance or air, and is virtually indestructible. His body can be sliced or destroyed, and it will rematerialize again, whole, at his will. A prosthetic weapon, replacing his right hand, which acts as a sound converter.
 
::  Composed of solidified sound, Klaw does not need to sleep, breathe, eat, or drink, and is immune to diseases, impacts, and wounds. He can increase his size by converting surrounding sounds into mass and adding it to his form, and can decrease his size by discharging sound mass from it. Through unknown means, Klaw's prosthetic grows or shrinks in size with him. Klaw can alter his own shape, and has done so to form himself into a large sound train. He can also add other elements into his form as he grows larger, as he once mixed water in with his increased sound mass, appearing as a watery giant. Klaw is resistant, if not immune, to telepathic attacks. Klaw is super-strong, capable of lifting up to five tons. Klaw's form can be cut apart and fused back together without injury to himself. His form was once converted into a group of lenses before becoming corporeal again. Before his transformation, Klaw replaced one of his hands with a prosthetic sound converter, also called a sonic claw or sound horn, which can absorb sound and solidify it. When Klaw has been dissipated in the past, his form is generally absorbed by his own converter until a sound or vibration restores his form and sentience. Klaw, through unknown means, has attached his prosthetic to his sound form, and it has been known to increase and decrease in size with him. Though his prosthetic has at times been destroyed, Klaw has either reformed it or re-equipped himself with another. Klaw has occasionally upgraded his prosthetic, making it larger and once equipping it with a Vibranium lace (which ultimately proved unhealthy), but he has always returned to using his standard prosthetic. <br> <br> Klaw can create various constructs of solidified sound which he can mentally control and which maintain cohesiveness until Klaw dissipates it, either willingly or because distracted, or because the construct is disrupted. Klaw can maintain these constructs even at a distance. He generally prefers to create giant constructs of various jungle animals, usually gorillas, panthers, and elephants, and has been known to call these constructs his “Sonimals”. Klaw has also created solidified suits of armor, walls capable of shattering bullets, balls that will continue to absorb sound mass independent of Klaw, diagrams, and even a baseball team. Klaw's constructs are capable of speech if he wills it. Klaw can reabsorb any of his constructs at will. Klaw's constructs are almost always crimson, but he has been known to create black and gold constructs and while under the influence of the Beyonder, dozens of multi-colored monsters. Though non-sentient and less powerful than him, Klaw's constructs are capable of vast damage and usually possess enhanced strength. When Klaw's prosthetic is damaged, he is unable to create sound constructs. <br> <br> Klaw can manipulate sound vibrations to varying effects. He can amplify existing sounds up to an intensity of 170 decibels, capable of deafening anyone in a .6 mile radius. Klaw can utilize vibrations to cause vertigo in the inner ear of others, burst the ear drums of others, briefly hypnotize others, or drive animals into frenzies with high pitches. Klaw can mimic any sound, including music and others' voices. Klaw can fire concussive blasts of sound at others, sometimes referring to these blasts as his “immobilizer beam”, and can cancel out his other constructs with a “reversion blast” of sound. He can also fire steady streams of sonic pulses. <br> <br> Klaw can transform himself into pure, non-solidified energy. While propelling himself through the air at the speed of sound he can smash through the hull of a battleship. Klaw can also utilize his constructs to fly with him at this speed, even if those constructs contain living beings, and he has used this as a method of transportation for various teams he's belonged to. <br> <br> Klaw is extremely vulnerable to the vibration-absorbing ore Wakandan Vibranium which, when in contact with his, causes him to lose energy or parts of his corporeal form. Klaw has successfully been held in prisons with Vibranium bars or walls. Klaw was once briefly empowered by unstable Vibranium, which was weakened due to a “Vibranium cancer.” Klaw is also susceptible to the metal-disintegrating Antarctic Vibranium, which can destabilize his form. Klaw is vulnerable to sonics or vibrations that disrupt his own internal vibrations, and can be knocked unconscious by blows or blasts powerful enough to do this. Klaw cannot generally maintain his corporeal form in a vacuum, though he has been known to do so by drawing from the sound in his own body. Klaw's form or energy has been absorbed by super-heroes capable of doing so, such as Dazzler, Guardian (Heather Hudson), and Ms. Marvel. Klaw's ability to utilize his powers seems to depend upon his mental state, his inner vibrations harmonics, and his time spent recovering from wounds. Klaw's powers, when unstable, have caused his form to build to dangerously explosive levels.

:*  French island where the Count of Monte Cristo took place:  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_d%27If Château d'If], a fortress (later a prison) located on the island of If, the smallest island in the Frioul Archipelago situated in the Mediterranean Sea about a mile offshore in the Bay of Marseille in southeastern France. It is famous for being one of the settings of Alexandre Dumas' adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo. The château is a square, three-story building 28 m long on each side, flanked by three towers with large gun embrasures. The remainder of the island, which only measures 30,000 square meters, is heavily fortified; high ramparts with gun platforms surmount the island's cliffs.

* Teosophy had these ideas of Man evolving into stages both spiritually and biologically - current mankind is, what, the Sixth Race or something. "Mutants" could be the first signs of the Seventh Race, divided among those who thinks the Sixth Race should do as the Atlanteans and Lemureans and just up and die already, and those who think they have a White Man's Burden towards us plain lesser humans.
 
* Spiritism was really the psionics of its day - despite being seen as a new religion by many, it was also considered "scientific", with ideas that spirits must have something to do with electricity and so on.
 
* And "electricity" then was what "radiation" was in the sixties. It could do anything. Anyone worth his salt would get his powers from an electrified spider or whatnot.
 
* The Inhumans etc is just perfect - ancient civilisation of superhumans are so right for a Victorian setting.
 
* What would be the World War II of such a setting? Being American-centric, I'd assume the Civil War - but it could be the Napoleonic Wars, I assume. Or maybe the War of Independence - Captain America being given his powers by Benjamin Franklin (maybe through a bolt of lightning that unfortunately killed FRanklin)? The Redcoat Skull?

:*  '''"INVASION FORM THE CENTER OF THE EARTH!"''': this takes the classic ideas of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and mingles them with another invasion story of a couple original Avenger villains (from the early comics). Taking the "Lava Men" and giving them a leader in "the Mole Man". When we learn that the rock is seemingly growing out of the Earth and has been pushed to the surface by the Lava Men.

===Otto von Bismarck, 1889===
 
: The new Germany sees the formation of this League as another HMS Dreadnaught. Only instead of being made out of metal and plying the waves, it is made of unfortunate people being exploited for a distinctly military purpose that can go anywhere in the world, and even places outside... Other Powers are forming their own super teams in France, Spain, Russia, and even the backwards Americans and Japanese. Unfortunately few people with special abilities have come forward to safeguard our newborn Empire, for which we are ever grateful for. While other nations rely in divine providence, arcane powers, or simply the great unknown potentials of life, our future will be directly in our people's hands! With steel, steam, and gasoline shall we ensure that we do not fall behind in this new and terrible new arms race where men and women are the most devestating weapons in nations arsenals.
 
 
===Doktor Belivar Trask===
 
: a prodigy of the under appreciated genius Charles Babbage and continues his work on perfecting Difference Engine technology until he creates the Vorlagenverstand Engine, a massive steam powered computer that has an eerily human thought pattern. When his homeland starts searching for an alternative for a super team of their own, Trask comes forward with a miniaturized automaton that could be controlled by wireless Tele-type from the main engine. So this world's version of Sentinels would be less internal hunters of other super powered beings, but a foreign equivalent to the Avengers and other threats that the old Prussian tactics can not deal with. They would still be their usual size, mostly because he couldn't fit the mechanical computer into anything smaller, built of stark angles of steel and belching smoke from their backs.
 
 
===Vorlagenverstand Engine ===
 
: I also had the really weird idea that the core of the Vorlagenverstand Engine might be the brain of Lady Ada Byron or an equivalent that eventually starts to add a little bit of a 'maternal' instinct to the Sentinels.
