Eel I (Deceased) (Leopold Stryke) A costumed criminal who, beyond increased agility, had no real enhanced powers, but did use a body suit that could deliver a lethal jolt of electricity. The body suit was blue and purple and covered him from head to foot except for the eye slits and acted pretty much as a second skin. He started his career as an agent for the Maggia clashing with the Human Torch II. Later, he was grudgingly teamed with the Porcupine and Plant Man (one of the Torch's former enemies). Shortly afterward, he and his cohorts decided to explore the new Celestial Mind Control when it promised greater power. His power wasn't increased, but it was made more focused by the mental therapy [DEF #37]. Soon afterward, he was hired by the Delazny Studios in Hollywood as a marine life advisor for a single episode of the Stunt-Master TV show to make ends meet while he figured out what to do with his Disintegration Ray. His secret ID was uncovered by Johnny (Ghost Rider IV) Blaze, and, after fighting with GR, he was killed by the Gladiator, who wanted to secure the device for his new employer, the Enforcer. GA: Serpent Squad I and II. Former agent of the Maggia. REL: Brother of Viper I.
First appearance: ST #112 Died: GHR #21

Eel I's Disintegration Ray A device which could reduce anything down to smoldering rubble in seconds. It is uncertain whether Eel invented the device or stole it himself, but while in his possession, it piqued the interest of a mob boss in Los Angeles, who hired the Gladiator to secure it from him. He was killed in the process of trying to escape with it, and the bulky device fell into the hands of the Enforcer, who had a scientist miniaturize it. He was able to reduce it to the size of a medallion and then finally down to the size of a ring, still with full power [GHR2 #22].
First appearance: GHR2 #21

Eel II (Edward Lavell) Ex-employee of the Maggia.
First appearance: PM/IF #92

Eelar An ordinary eel that was mutated into a propaganda spewing giant anthropomorphic version of itself from the emanations of a Badoon Mento-Programmer that had been lost in the Hudson River. Besides being huge and incredibly strong and interested only in attacking anything around it, it also had the ability to mentally control other sea life. Both the Defenders and the Guardians of the Galaxy were fought to a stand still by this beast, who was mindlessly busy tearing up the city, until Dr. Strange figured out the truth behind its origin. After the rest of the teams subdued it temporarily, he was able to transform the creature back to its original state.
First appearance: GS DEF #5

Egg-head (Elihas Starr, see: Prof. Carl Striker) (Deceased) A scientific genius who turns to a life of crime after he is fired by the US Atomic Energy Board for selling secrets to the enemy. His first job on he outside is to stop Ant-Man I, but is thwarted, which starts him down the road as a life long adversary of Hank Pym. After prison and many many failures, he is left down and out, living in a flop house, and after being refused money by his wealthy model niece, he set a bomb in her boy friend's car not to kill her but to disfigure her [GS DEF #4]. After securing his freedom from prison, he stole a space lab from NASA and put together the second team of the Emissaries of Evil expressly to help him steal the Star of Capistan to help him realize his dreams of world domination. The plan failed but he learned a very valuable lesson of how it's bad to use other people, from one of his henchmen, Cobalt Man, who got revenge on him by imploding right behind him with the hope of killing him [DEF #43]. REL: Uncle of Trish Starr. GA: Masters of Evil II, Emissaries of Evil II
First appearance: TtA1 #38 Died: AV1 #230

Egghead's Android Not a true android, this started as an ordinary clothing store mannequin which the evil genius coated in his special clay to bulk up the body and give it strength, and then bathed it in his Living-Cell Beam to give it life, and his Ultra-Beta Beam to make it grow to equal Giant-Man I in size and to give him full mental control over the creature. The final result was a huge humanoid automaton that he could control remotely with his Beta-Ray Mental Energy Transmitter and whose mass he could increase or decrease at will, and which he sicced on Giant Man and his partner the Wasp in a prearranged deathtrap. Unfortunately, the Transmitter worked both ways so that Egghead saw, heard, and felt everything that the Android was, so when Giant Man deduced that by spinning the almost weightless Android at high speed would have the effect on the controller as if he were actually being spun himself, Egghead was forced to release his mental hold over his creation. The guideless automaton eventually walked off a pier into the river.
First appearance: TtA1 #61

Egghead's Beta-Ray Mental Energy Transmitter A device with which the evil genius could command his Living-Cell Beam enervated constructs remotely by boosting his already established mental control. The device had one draw back, however. In giving him the ability to see, hear, and feel whatever his creation was experiencing, he could also be affected by the feedback from that sensory input. He used the helmet to control his Android creation against Giant-Man I and the Wasp, but was thwarted when he was made dizzy by the giant Avenger when he spun the avatar over his head.
First appearance: TtA1 #61

Egghead's Living-Cell Beam A machine devised by the evil genius to give seeming life to objects made from a special clay-like substance he uses to sculpt his automatons.
First appearance: TtA1 #61

First appearance: DEF #42

Egghead's Space Lab An orbiting station which he effortlessly stole from NASA and first used as his base of operations for the second Emissaries of Evil.
First appearance: DEF #42

Egghead's Ultra-Beta Beam A large device created by the evil genius that not only enervates the special clay-like substance with which he sculpts his special automatons, making the substance feed on itself and causing the construct to grow, it also establishes the mental link he has with his creations. Used to grow his Android to the size of his foe, Giant Man I and make the contact so he could use his Beta-Ray Mental Energy Transmitter to command it at a safe distance.
First appearance: TtA1 #61

Egghead's Vibration Ray A hand held device which allows the evil genius to alter the mass of any object and with it, somehow unlock doors.
First appearance: TtA1 #61

Ego, the Living Planet A sentient planet in the Black Nebula, threatened the Rigellian home planet until he was defeated by Thor. When the thunder god came again to that neck of the universe, this time to defeat Galactus, he aided the planet along with the nomadic Wanderers. The victory involved Ego allowing the alien race to take up residence on his surface. Later, he was revealed to be one of the Elders of the Universe (SS3 #4). Ego usually appears as an elderly man's face covering one whole hemisphere, but can produce a man sized anthropomorphic rendition of himself, connected by tethers to his surface. He has produced other of his Protozoid constructs mainly to defend himself, like the Anti-bodies. In another confrontation with Galactus, the devourer attached a propulsion unit to his south pole and sent him careening across the universe. He eventually gained control, but the extra output of energy necessary to maintain the control forced the living planet to consume other living matter to sustain himself, much in the way Galactus does.
First part. appearance: TH1 #132 First full: TH1 #133

Elder Gods The first incredibly powerful primal life placed upon the Earth by Demiurge. At first there were only three, Gaea, Chthon, and Set, (but later a fourth was added, the Wild One) and for millennia they ruled the globe, until it was brought to Demiurge's attention that their production of warring demons might destroy the other life placed upon the planet and placed under the protection of Mother Nature. Together, Gaea and Demiurge produced Atum, who rid the world of the demons as Demogorge, and forced Set and Chthon to flee to alternate dimensions. Only Gaea remained as an underlying force on Earth, but from their hidey holes, the other two keep watching and plotting their eventual return. Members include: Set (1st mention) [CON #7] (1st appearance) [SS3 AN #2?], Gaea [DrST2 #7], Chthon (in human host) [AV1 #185] (in true form) [AV1 #187], Wild One (1st mention) [IH1 AN #18] (1st appearance) [SS3 AN #5].

First appearance: GS DRAC #2

Elders of the Universe A 5 billion year old group of powerful beings who are the last members of their individual races and whose lives are ruled by separate singular obsessions, pretty much identified by their names. These obsessions have often caused them to have run-ins with many of the heroes over the years, but, unlike Galactus and the Celestials, they tend to step beyond the amoral to the immoral and the self serving. None of the Elders are actually related to any other, but they refer to one another as brothers. Later in their existence, the Grandmaster tricked Death, and they became immortal {AV1 AN #16). Normally they work individually or in small groups, but they did once collectively try to end the universe by killing Galactus with the six Soul Gems. They had seen everything and experienced everything in this reality and wanted to start over with their obsessions on a fresh universe, and it has been said that if the devourer should die, so would the universe. The plan of course, failed (SS3 #9). Their number consists of: Collector [1st seen member], Grandmaster [AV1 #69], Gardener [MTU #55], Contemplator [MTS #1], Possessor [TH1 #235], Runner [DEF #143], Champion [MTO An. #7], Astronomer, Trader, Obliterator, Ego [SS3 #4]

Usually identified by the electric bolt head piece of his costume. After being bested by Daredevil, Dillon went to great lengths to put together a team of his own made of of other costumed villains, each with a grudge against the man without fear, but even five against one didn't help their success when the others deviated from his carefully laid plans [DD AN #1].

On top of carrying a gun, he was able to assume the shapes of other, larger people to lull his intended victims into a sense of false security. Although he killed many people, including the Defender's paper boy, the threads of his story line were never resolved and simply dropped without coming to the point of his mayhem. His victims include: Tom and Linda Pritchett [first victims], Charles and Frances Lester [DEF #31], Stu and Sally [DEF #38], an unnamed woman [DEF #40], Patch, Greg [DEF #46].

When the team was assembled, they started the assault by attacking DD individually over a period of several days, and then finally having Leap Frog lead him into the ambush where all were waiting in a nearby power plant. Electro's plan for revenge came unraveled quickly when the other members decided to attack on their own, getting their butts kicked royally because of their carelessness and overconfidence.

Emissaries of Evil II A team of super powered criminals brought together by Egghead for the express reason of securing the Star of Capistan to allow him to realize his dreams of world domination. After getting out of prison for bombing his niece, he stole an orbiting space lab from NASA for their HQ and then recruited the other members, winning Rhino and Solarr over with the promise of riches, and taking advantage of the mental instability of Cobalt Man. When he believed the Star to be in the possession of Dr. Strange (supposedly put in his safe keeping by Omar Karindu the Star's current keeper) he had his henchmen attack the Sanctum Sanctorum, and, even when the search turned up bust, rather than admit a mistake, Egghead sent in Cobalt Man, who, in his defeat, started to go critical. When that failed, he had to admit that the Star might still be in the hands of the head of the Four Cult, and sent the others after him, but they were defeated by the Red Rajah. The rest of the team came to an end when Cobalt Man, his mind restored by Red Guardian II, took his revenge on Egghead by causing an implosion that supposedly killed them both.
First appearance: DEF #42

Emissary of the Overlord (deceased) One of the armored and ruthless guards of the Overlord.

When the Silver Surfer came to this alternate future, he was captured by barbaric humanoids who were bringing him as a prize to their master, but the Emissary killed them all so he would have the privilege of presenting the prize. When he tried to stop the Surfer from attacking his master, the Overlord killed him just because he didn't want to lose such an amusing foe.

In his natural state, he appears to be a simplified human with purple colored skin. An android, he was created with his ability to be more attuned to his humanoid hosts, but as time went on, he craved stronger and more violent emotions, and eventually outlived his creators, and their world became his prison until Morbius stumbled upon his world. The android melded with him and forced him to take him back to Earth, there he got a yen for Spider-Man and soon traded up. Spidey however, figured out his weakness, and brought him to a football game, and the amount and extremeness of the emotions overwhelmed him and he became inert.

Forever Yesterday A short lived alternate reality created by Sphinx II employing the power of the Ka where the Egyptian Empire remained one of the world powers with her in the seat of control and everything from our reality has been translated with an Egyptian twist. Its deviation from our reality began back when Moses confronted the wizard of Ramses II, but this time the wizard won and he became the pharaoh's most trusted confidant. Decades later, a peasant woman stumbled upon the Ka Stone and brought it to the wizard who uses it to become the Sphinx, and together they forge the Empire through the centuries and quietly guided the course of modern civilization. In the new world, dubbed the United States of Assyria, an uprising by the colonists led to the abolishment of slavery and freedom for the non-Egyptian races, and there was peace until the deadly culture clash between the Anglo-Slavic states of Europa and Slovakia led to the first world war. The Sphinx's involvement in the affair brought the War to and end, and he shifted his seat of power from Cairo to New Memphis City on Maqamam Island in hopes that it would prove a signal to getting the world back on his peaceful course. But a second world war erupted when the Egyptian, Assyrian, and Anglo Saxon forces were forced to join together against the common foe, the Pacific-Asian Union. The Pacasians developed the atomic bomb first and dropped them on the social hub of the planet and home of the Sphinx. With is great power, he was able to save the city by the outlying tri-state area of New Memphis, New Hebrides, and Aknatonicut were obliterated into an uninhabitable wasteland and millions died. The war was eventually declared a stalemate, but the Sphinx, exhausted emotionally and physically, relinquished his power, granting his immortality to his wife's cat and granting her the power of the Ka Stone. He died, leaving the second Sphinx as the supreme ruler, and hers was not a benevolent rule. The following decades saw the coming of the super powered beings, and she consolidated enough of them to remain on her throne; but many were against her tyranny and became rebels including a band of mutants led by the Magneto of that reality. In the end, four heroes, Marvel Man, Firestar, Nova, and Dwayne Taylor (Night Thrasher) used her beloved cat to force her to face the truth of Sayge, and, when she realized the error of what she had done, she changed reality back, removing everyone's memories of the event.

Foul-up, Clumsy (deceased) The awkward, uncouth alien member of Reptyl's Space Pirates, who, because of his amorousness toward the disguised Nova II, uncovered her and the Silver Surfer who had infiltrated their hideout looking for the Contemplator. Although basically humanoid, he has pendulous flaps on either cheek and he has a great deal of trouble with the English language which devolves quickly in just speaking in rhyme (although it is revealed that he does it purposefully to make himself seem more clever). The Cotati used his feelings toward the Herald of Galactus to get him to free her, and, even after his ship was destroyed, he claimed he would never forget her. He becomes the pawn of the Contemplator who manipulates him into being a Kree hero by killing his master, Reptyl, and eventually gets him put on the throne of the Kree Empire by the pink skinned Kree (SS3 #31). He immediately begins to alienate everyone and raises taxes time and time again to support his extravagant life style, but, when he doubles them to cover the loss in revenue from the missing Kree people during the Infinity Gauntlet affair, it lights the powder keg that gets him assassinated by a Silver Surfer Robot at the hands of Generals Ael-Dan and Dar-Benn.

In the fifties, he expanded his genetics knowledge working at Stark Industries under Howard Stark in their biochemical division and even had a hand in the education of Reed Richards.
