When she finally shook loose of his control, the damage was already done, and it was only a short time afterward, as the X-Men ware escaping the Hellfire Club, that the Phoenix Force emerged. After wrecking the team, she sailed off into space looking for more and more power, and took it in the form of the sun of the D'Bari system, killing all the inhabitants of the fourth planet.

At first the team was more loosely knit and the roster changed often (a concept that would come into Strange's second team, the Secret Defenders) and they worked out of his home in Greenwich Village. After the inclusion of Nighthawk, he began to use his financial powers for their benefit and had a hi-tech HQ built for them so they wouldn't have to keep imposing on the good doctor [DEF #17].

Defenders' HQ (destroyed) (Richmond Riding Academy) Once a remote riding academy on the Nassau/Suffolk border, purchased by newest member Nighthawk ostensibly as a boarding facility for the Valkyrie III's mount, Aragorn (while she left the team briefly to seek out the real identity of Barbara Norris), but he took it upon himself to equip it with the latest communications and monitoring systems and even had an Adamantium chair made for the Hulk. He said it was so the team didn't have to keep imposing on the good doctor at his Sanctum Sanctorum for a place to meet, but it was probably equally so because he was really enjoying the new super hero shtick. At first it was almost never used, but after Dr. Strange took leave from the team, they had to switch from his Sanctum to the riding academy for their full-time HQ [DEF #46]. It is destroyed by fire when the team was trying to subdue Foolkiller II, who tore the place apart with his energy weapon before falling to the might of Valkyrie III.

Taken to the gypsies by the Turk leader, he was turned into a vampire. As a vampire, he has all the strengths (increased strength and senses, ability to change form to the shape of a bat and as mist, hypnotic powers, invulnerability to conventional weapons and cannot be photographed) and the weaknesses (vulnerability to sunlight, running water, religious symbols-particularly the crucifix-silver-particularly when emblazoned with a cross-, garlic and wolf's bane, and wooden stakes through the heart, they are unable to see themselves in mirrors, and they need to feed on blood-preferably human-on a regular basis) of their kind. Over the centuries, he has made several attempts to raise he and his people to the dominant species of the planet and has always been foiled by the likes of Quincy Harker, Blade, Frank Drake, and Rachel Van Helsing. He and all vampires were killed by the Montessi Formula performed by Dr. Strange. REL: Husband of Maria, Domini. Father of Lilith and Vlad Tepelus. Brother of Mircea and Radu Dracul.

Dragon (deceased) The last survivor of an unnamed advanced peaceful race of aliens resembling dragons. Years before, he and his people were fleeing from their dying world when their sun went super nova, but the radiation from the dying star decimated their ships' power source, their Cazalyte Crystals. When they sought replacements on a seeming peaceful world (one once spared Galactus' appetite by the Silver Surfer) they intentionally gave the mineral Kortilon which caused a protonic reaction and caused their craft and all aboard to die in unquenchable fire, save one who had been on a hunting mission. He spent the next several years systematically wiping out the killers, using natural strength and his teleporter and cloaking device. Nearly done with his task, the Surfer returned, and, not understanding the truth of the matter, confronted the alien, and, because he didn't know the creature's physiology, he accidentally killed it.

Dragon's Breadth, Cult of A little known cult originating in Cambodia that believed by a process of selective breeding they could eventually produce beings with enough enhanced powers that they could seize control of the world. It received its name when, centuries before hand, the progenitors of the cult discovered the Well of All Things in the Jungle north of the Se Kong River, and they called the mystic emanations pouring forth the strength of Dragons. They spent decades building a temple around the Well, to protect and hide it's power from outside eyes, and then the wisest of the group devised a plan where they believed by selective breeding they could eventually produce disciples who could control the massive power pouring forth through the dimensional breach into this world. So, for centuries, the word was passed down, and mates were carefully chosen, and the whole isolated society worked toward the common goal laid out in those original prophesies, until, after ages of long planning, the final generation was born after WWII that must be mated, by the prophesies, with men from the west. It was about this time that Tai, a member of the previous generation, not wanting to share the power, killed the rest of Cult members who might oppose her and became the high priestess. In '66, when the daughters of the cult came of age, Tai forced a band of unwitting GIs, there during the Viet Nam war, into a Pact which would mate them with the daughters and produce the final generation of super powered offspring. Through the power of the Cult, she manipulated events that not only brought these offspring home to Kampuchea, but produced a second batch of heroes that she could use as sacrificial lambs to stopper the Well and allow her, through her avatars, siphon off the resultant energies and rule the world. Members of which: Tai (high Priestess) [first seen member], Miyami (Chord) [second seen member],

A band of soldiers, the Half Fulls, during the Viet Nam war, were sent to the area to clear a landing base, but instead found themselves forced into the Pact by the high priestess, Tai, the intricate machinations of which led to her eventual death and the destruction of the Temple, leaving behind nothing but a crater where the edifice once stood. The Temple was guarded by trained warriors who were dressed in armor from which Night Thrasher's armor was designed.

First appearance: UXM #46

Drax the Destroyer (see: Arthur Douglas) A super powerful, nearly invulnerable, purple and green engine of destruction whose main purpose in life is the destruction of Thanos. He was created when Kronos, trying to stop the rampage of the mad Titan, Thanos, from destroying his home and people, extracted the soul of Arthur Douglas from the netherworld, and, combining it with a uncontrollable desire to kill Thanos, used it to animate a body he created from the earth of a barren world and imbued it with incredible strength. Unfortunately, his single mindedness often proved to be more of a hindrance to those also interested in stopping the mad Titan rather than the punishment to the errant Eternal that he was meant to be. Time and time again he failed to live up to his name, often teaming with the likes of Captain Marvel I or the Avengers, until finally Thanos was killed by Adam Warlock. Later, again working with the Avengers, he pitted his might against the telepathic powers of his one tome daughter, Moondragon, who had taken it upon herself to enslave the Ba-Bani. During the battle, she used her powers and destroyed his brain, killing him, but also shattered Moondragon's resolve to continue the conflict. Much later, when the mad Titan was resurrected by Death and began his plans to wipe out half the universe with the Infinity Gauntlet, Kronos again resurrected the Destroyer to track down Thanos, but, because of the brain damage from his last incarnation, his mental capacity was greatly diminished and his innate ability to track the villain impaired, but his physical strength was increased to compensate. After the fall of Thanos, Warlock, now in control of the Gauntlet, was ordered by the Living Tribunal to divest himself of godhood for the good of the universe, and he chose to separate the Infinity Gems among preselected individuals to keep them safe from future misuse, and Drax received the Power Gem. Now a member of an actual team, and through continued prodding from Moondragon, his memories as Arthur Douglas have slowly resurfaced. REL: Arthur Douglas was the father of Moondragon, husband of Yvette Douglas, and the uncle of Sundragon. GA: Infinity Watch.

Dynamo City A self contained city in space (18D-X-M Quadrant) where technology and power have reached their ultimate summit and is supposedly a paradise of science and commerce. What one learns upon actually entering the city is that there is no free energy that is allowed to penetrate the outer perimeter and the entrances and exits are guarded by huge, armored, robot City Guards and the streets are patrolled by robot Police. The next thing one notices is that pretty much everything is run by robots, and that their court system is an unjust farce of the worst kangaroo kind. The next on the list is that there is an exorbitant fee of 50 credits to exit the city, and that finding any source of income is almost impossible, particularly for an outsider and that all the businessmen are hideously crooked. Next, that there is a whole city (Tent City) of people who have been trying to earn the money necessary to leave, that there is a four strike rule, which if exceeded gains you instant execution. Next one learns that the city has a strong passion for entertainment, including the Stim-Network and a regular light show by freelance power casters. The last thing you learn is that the whole city is run by by a deaf, dumb, and blind giant eyeball (Great I) and that their form of execution involves being ejected into the vacuum of space. Silver Surfer made the mistake of entering the city to be questioned about the death of Thanos and spent days, without his power cosmic, trying to escape.

First appearance: SS3 #41

Dynamo City Stim-Network Short for Stimulation Network. Where the whole city revolved around entertainment, one of the favorites was a show called "Their Life" on SNET.

First appearance: SS3 #41
