:: '''''"My name is of no consequence, for you will be beneath the ground soon... Suffice to say that I am a humble man of knowledge, a self made king of men, formerly residing the London of your time.

+ | =the Mandarin= | ||
+ | the Mandarin (Zhang Tong) explores the forbidden "Valley of Spirits," where no one has dared set foot for centuries. There he finds the skeleton and starship of Axonn-Karr, an intelligent dragon-like alien from the planet Maklu-4, who had come to Earth centuries ago and died. Over the following years, the Mandarin studies Makluan science until he masters it. He also learns how to use the ten rings he found within the starship which were apparently its propulsion source, among other things. The Mandarin then subjugates the villages around the Valley, and, through his advanced science, rapidly becomes a power that not even the Chinese Army could successfully challenge. He then embarks on a long series of attempts to achieve world domination. | ||
+ | The Mandarin later schemes to turn the Great Vibranium Mound of Wakanda into Type II Vibranium which destroys the molecular cohesion of metals. He also tries to destroy China's entire rice crop in an attempt to provoke war. | ||

+ | =NATIVE AMERICANS= | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==WHERE== | ||
+ | The "Four-Corners" region of the United States: Where Marshal will always consider home. | ||
+ | The Four Corners is the intersection of the four U.S. states of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona and the high desert plateau region surrounding that point in the southwestern United States. This is the only point in the United States where four states touch. Three of the four state corners are on the Navajo Indian Reservation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Sarcee== | ||
+ | The Sarcee is a First Nation in Canada. Their territory is adjacent to the southwest city limits of Calgary, Alberta. The Sarsi or Sarcee, words which are believed to have been derived from a Blackfoot word meaning boldness and hardiness. | ||
+ | ===Shaman=== | ||
+ | (Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen) Twoyoungmen studied Sarcee magic, eventually becoming strong enough in his belief to draw mystical items from his enchanted medicine bag at will. He adopted the title and garb of Shaman. | ||
+ | Several years later, Shaman assisted in the birth of Snowbird, the product of a mystical union between a human and the goddess Nelvanna. Shaman cast spells to bind Snowbird to the Earthly realm. | ||
+ | a vision of Ranaq the Devourer, one of the Great Beasts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Moonhunter, Zachary=== | ||
+ | Former pilot, Avengers Crew. An occult investigator who specialized in hunting werewolves, Moonhunter was enslaved by the Druid and freed by Captain America. At roughly the same time, pilot John Jameson resigned from the Avengers staff and Moonhunter applied successfully to replace him, serving primarily as personal pilot to Captain America. Moonhunter assisted Captain America and several other Avengers associates in a variety of missions, but apparently resigned from the team's service when Captain America was believed to be dying. His current whereabouts and activities are unrevealed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Apache== | ||
+ | The Apachean tribes were historically very powerful, constantly at enmity with the Spaniards and Mexicans for centuries. The first Apache raids on Sonora appear to have taken place during the late 17th century. The U.S. Army, in their various confrontations, found them to be fierce warriors and skillful strategists. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Apache - Camp Verde, Yavapai County, Arizona, United States. It is in the Verde River valley. To the south lie the Bradshaw Mountains. Camp Verde is surrounded by Prescott National Forest. The head of the Verde River begins below the dam that catches water from the Big Chino Wash and Williamson Valley Wash combining to create Sullivan Lake in Yavapai County, Arizona. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===Thunderbird=== | ||
+ | (John Proudstar) possesses the ability to become a variety of North American animals (and seems to lack the strength, speed, and durability of the comic version), much resembling Alpha Flight's Snowbird in that respect. | ||
+ | Warpath (James Proudstar), | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Michael Redstone=== | ||
+ | the strength of the Earth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Puma=== | ||
+ | Thomas Fireheart, and he is of Native American descent. The tribe he belongs to (never named, but located in Hartsdale, Arizona) has had an ancient prophecy of the coming of a powerful being who might destroy the world for generations. Long ago, they began making preparations for this coming doom. They used mystic ceremonies and selective breeding to create a perfect warrior. Thomas Fireheart is the latest in this line of men. mastering his ability to turn into a powerful humanoid mountain lion werecat. | ||
+ | it was revealed that both groups were actually being manipulated by the shape-changing Space Phantom. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | =Warlock= | ||
+ | America has produced a number of home grown prophets. In the wilds of Utah, few are stranger than the man known as Adam Warlock. What his original name is, is anyone's guess, but the declared Messiah has such outlandish claims as having been born fully grown and possessed of a body of what the 'Unsullen Man' looked like. It's easy to see why the uneducated frontiersmen would believe it for Adam is a pretty sight with his golden skin and hair. While I wasn't able to see much of his faith healings or ability to cast out demons, I did get to hear some of his bizarre predictions for the future. In the words of the bizarre man "An ancient evil rests beneath our waves! Sleeping horrors untold in strange eons with the power to strip our planet clean of all life! An evil as ancient as dread Cthon or the horrid Shug-Niggarauth! Only the gemstone of power can banish it!" He even set a specific date for three months in the future. Somehow, I think that he's going to look very foolish when the world doesn't end. | ||

+ | |||
+ | =Marshal America's America= | ||
+ | young Steven's tribal name. The Subject would not give us it's true pronunciation, but said only that it translated into english as "Star Bearer." | ||
+ | |||
+ | Until he was ordered to suppress an uprising in the Oregon territories. What exactly occurred is unclear, Subject refuses to discuss the matter, or even communicate in any way when asked about it. The little facts we have, indicate that his unit was killed to the last man, only the Subject survived. The native population they had been sent to deal with had also vanished completely, only a burned out husk of an encampment remained. | ||
+ | Subject resigned in disgrace. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Sharon Carter -Aide to Nick Fury(?). Cap's had trouble focusing since the train back in issue #1.... ((Durn it)) | ||
+ | * "Cloudless Moon" -Cap's maternal grandfather. He passed on while Steve was still a young child, but he occasionally appears in dreams or if Steve really needs a hand, in a waking vision. | ||
+ | * Reginald "Buckshot" McClurg. -Every good Marshall needs a Deputy. Think of him as Bucky, with a shotgun. Note: Buckshot is still back in America, tracking down Tombstone, actually... | ||
+ | * Agent Smith -US Army Intelligence. 1880's equivalent of a CIA man. No sense of humor. Deadpan. You get the picture. He was Cap's source of intel and contact with the Government. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Tesla, Nikola: One possible creator, though he may not trust Argo as it is a known associate of Hank Pym. | ||
+ | * Edison, Thomas: American inventor and pioneer in phonograph and sound technology. Argonaut may seek him out in order to attain a "voice." | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==VILLAINS== | ||
+ | ===Confederate Skull=== | ||
+ | (aka Johnny Red, real name John Smith) - Confederate Colonel who was cashiered for needless brutality towards the end of the Civil War. Has a vast network of terrorists to draw upon called "The Army of the New Confederacy". The Skull is obsessed with the destruction of the United States and the rebirth of this New Confederacy (we call call them the NeoCons for short! ^_~). Of course, he views the Confederate economic model as nearly perfect, if too lenient. He believes the status of slave should not just apply to the black man, but to all who don't share his vision. Note: Based on the SECOND Red Skull: Johann Schmidt. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===Baron Karl Amadeus Mordo=== | ||
+ | Originally a Transylvanian nobleman (born in Varf Mandra), Mordo became a student of the Tibetan sorcerer known as the Ancient One. | ||
+ | arl Mordo was the son of Nikolai Mordo, a Transylvanian nobleman (or boyar) who was made “Baron” when his lands fell under the control of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Bitter over the Empire’s defeat after the war, its generals and politicians, and the encroachments of modern technology, Nikolai sought to restore Transylvania to its past glories via black magic. | ||
+ | Dr. Estrange is no longer a member of the Masons for he has indeed uncovered a secret sect within, lead by Lord Mordo. Estrange trusted him, his medical teachings & certain 'advanced surgical procedure' which Estrange took part in. Steven discovered that he wasn't helping people but making slaves for Mordo's sinister cult, which Estrange only knows that they worship some being called "Dormammu". Fury maybe the one who helped him learn the truth about Mordo. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | =NEWS= | ||
+ | ==C.A.T.U.== | ||
+ | (Church against the unnatural) a fringe Catholic sect that views the concept of A.I. as an abomination. Should they ever discover Argo's sentient nature, they would surely seek it's destruction. | ||
