Michael Van Patrick

Michael Ian Van Patrick is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Dan Slott and Stefano Caselli. Although the character died in his debut appearance, he was cloned after his death and his clones continued to play roles within the ongoing '' Avengers: The Initiative'' series.

Michael Van Patrick's origins trace back to scientist Josef Reinstein, later retroactively changed to an alias of Abraham Erskine.''Captain America'' #255 (March 1981) On his death, Erskine left papers, which covered years of research and findings that the government had not seen fit to classify to his grandson Brian Van Patrick. Brian studied his grandfather's work, particularly his work on growing, preparing and serving the most wholesome and nutritional foods and a challenging experimental program of isometric exercises. Brian used the research during the early life and development of his son Michael, helping him achieve his potential.

The events of "Civil War" required all superpowered individuals to register with the American government, with at least some of these individuals being sent to the training camp Camp Hammond. Michael joined the program under the codename MVP, along with old and new characters to make up the cast of the ''Avengers: The Initiative''. During the first day of training at Camp Hammond, MVP demonstrated extraordinary speed and agility as he broke the camp's obstacle course record for users without super-speed on his first attempt. During a combat simulator exercise, Initiative trainee Armory panicked and fired blindly on the other recruits, killing MVP. Initiative scientist Baron Von Blitzschlag advocates cloning MVP, to chief administrator Yellowjacket's disapproval.

First clone of MVP

Though Yellowjacket disapproved the idea of cloning MVP, Secretary of the Superhuman Armed Forces Henry Peter Gyrich had ordered that MVP's death remain secret and sanctioned the cloning. As the clone was grown to its original's age, all of his original's skills and abilities were programmed into him. The first clone is sent to his family's farm in Liberty, Kentucky, with a false story that he had failed the Initiative program because of his lack of powers. The clone, who is coming to realize that his memories are not his own and that he will never be the real Michael Van Patrick, elects to stay with his family.

Scarlet Spiders

Three more clones, developed the same time as the first but with added genetic material donated from Blitzschlag, were programmed with MVP's skills and abilities along with those of Spider-Man. The three clones, Michael, Van and Patrick, were suited up in redesigned Iron Spider suits that Spider-Man had worn during the Civil War.

During their first appearance, they identify themselves as the "Red Team" and take down supervillains Shocker, Boomerang and Hydro-Man. Though War Machine identifies them by their official name Scarlet Spiders when contacting them, they identify themselves as Red Team One (Michael), Red Team Two (Van), and Red Team Three (Patrick) in the field. They are later revealed to be part of the Shadow Initiative black ops group under the command of Gyrich with Constrictor, Mutant Zero, Bengal, and Trauma.

KIA

The results of the previous clonings impressed Initiative administrators enough to attempt to fill places within the Fifty-State Initiative with further clones. In the ''Avengers: The Initiative'' first multi-part story; ''Killed in Action'' (starting issue #8), a new clone is fitted with the Tactigon, Armory's former alien weapon and sets forth on a murderous rampage through Camp Hammond in an attempt to seek revenge for MVP's death. In the second part ''First Casualties'', set before the events of the first, the clone, who is distinguished by his whited out eyes, is said to have had Armory's moves programmed into him in preparation to use the Omega-Level weapon that killed the original MVP. The Tactigon interfaces with this clone's mind activating latent memories of the real MVP's death. Hacking into the Initiative's computer, the clone learns of his "death" and gains a list of all those present at the time. The disturbed clone demolishes the cloning lab, attacking Blitzschlag and Yellowjacket and carving the initials "KIA" into his chest. KIA later joins the Assassins Guild.

Powers, abilities and equipment of Michael Van Patrick

In ''Avengers: The Initiative'' #2, Von Blitzschlag refers to MVP as an "Übermensch", a perfect human specimen, down to the cellular level. This perfection is displayed in his physical abilities. He reaches the highest possible standard for a human being without becoming an enhanced super-soldier. Yellowjacket (actually the Skrull agent Criti Noll), one of the chief administrators at Camp Hammond, ironically referred to MVP as "Captain America, Jr." in the first issue of ''Avengers: The Initiative''. However, unlike Captain America's enhanced condition, MVP's abilities were revealed in the ''Avengers: The Initiative Annual'' to have come as a result of the "revolutionary" diet and an "ultimate" isometric exercise regime he completed, rather than the super-soldier serum.

The first clone has those same abilities, with the Scarlet Spiders additionally having the skills, reflexes/reactions and moves of Spider-Man programmed into them to the limit of regular human ability.

Michael, Van and Patrick's Scarlet Spider suits, a redesign of Tony Stark's Iron Spider armor (previously used by Spider-Man), are supported by systems similar to that of Stark's classic Iron Man design. In the Scarlet Spider's first appearance, ''Avengers: The Initiative'' #3, the suit features several devices, including four mechanical spider-arms or " waldoes" on each suit, one more than on the original, along with cloaking devices and a short-range GPS microwave communication system. In ''Avengers: The Initiative'' #7, the suits display mechanical web-shooters while retaining the ability to change appearance to other versions of the Spider-Man costume or street clothes. In ''New Warriors'' vol. 4 #15 (Oct. 2008), it was revealed the suits have had their StarkTech removed, which prevented the suits being affected when all StarkTech was made inoperable by Skrull invaders. However, this is seemingly retconned in a line spoken by one of the Spiders: "should be StarkTech like ours, but it's so alien", in ''Avengers: The Initiative'' #22, when the Spiders interface with other technology.

Attached to the "KIA" Michael Van Patrick is Armory's former weapon, known as the ''Tactigon'', which was detached when she was expelled from the Initiative program. It is a multi-dimensional alien device that, once attached to a body, is able to shift into an infinite number of weapons and tools with a built-in safety designed to only enable the wearer to wield the specific weapons/tools needed to get the job at hand done.

Vanguard

Vanguard (Nikolai Krylenko) is a mutant in the Marvel Universe. Created by Bill Mantlo and Carmine Infantino, the character first appeared in ''Iron Man'' #109 in April 1978. Within the context of the stories, Vanguard is one of the Soviet Super-Soldiers and the son of Sergei Krylov. He is trained as a soldier and comes into conflict with Iron Man, Jack of Hearts, and other Avengers. After dying and being resurrected by his father during the Dire Wraith invasion of Russia, Vanguard becomes the new Red Guardian and leads the Winter Guard. As the new Red Guardian, he battles Weapon X, King Hyperion, and the Intelligencia. He was later present when the Winter Guard was reunited.

Krylenko is the brother of Laynia Petrovna / Darkstar. He is a mutant, capable of generating a body-wide force field that repels electromagnetic and kinetic energy. He typically focuses this field through a medium, such as the vibranium shield supplied to him by Executive Security Committee or through a sickle and hammer that he usually carries. He also directs this force against the earth itself to obtain flight. Krylenko wears a more advanced suit than previous Red Guardians, which is lined with circuitry that works in conjunction with the compact computer on his shield, not only enabling the guided flight and return of what he's using to focus his mutant energy through their digital connection, but the amplification of the effects of his own energy field.

Vanisher

Vapor

Vargas

Vargas is a supervillain in the Marvel Universe. The character, created by Chris Claremont and Salvador Larroca, first appeared in ''X-Treme X-Men'' #1 in 2001. Within the context of the stories, Vargas comes into conflict with the X-Men while searching for the diaries of Destiny and even managed to kill Psylocke. He's not a mutant, since he lacks the X-Gene in his DNA, but is not fully human either, much like Captain America is a relatively perfect human physical specimen. He is genetically perfect and claims to be "''homo superior superior''", humanity's "natural response" to the emergence of mutants, and possesses super-strength and speed in addition to highly advanced combat skills and an increased immune system that protected him from any disease or toxin and an elevated healing factor. After obtaining one volume of Destiny's journals he discovered that he would be killed by Rogue. Resolving to deny this destiny, Vargas faced her in Madripoor. Initially Vargas had the upper hand, but Rogue gradually absorbed his abilities each time he struck her until she was his equal, his superior considering her other powers. Poised to slay Vargas, she is seen preparing to stab him with his own sword when the video camera that was the sole witness to the event lost power at the critical moment, so the people that viewed the footage of the live invasion were under the belief that Rogue did in fact, kill him. However some time later its revealed that Rogue realizing that the diaries could trap you into doing what it stated, or into committing great atrocities to avoid the "prophecies", had in fact left Vargas alive to discredit the diaries, but since he had possessed one of Destiny's diaries and therefore had knowledge of future events, he was targeted by the Marauders, under Mr. Sinister's orders, and eliminated after being stabbed by one of Harpoon's eponymous weapons.

Salem's Seven

Savage Land Mutate

Vertigo is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Her powers enable her to render a person severely dizzy and even unconscious. Vertigo first appeared in ''Marvel Fanfare'' #1 (March 1982), created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Michael Golden.

In her first appearance, she was depicted as a member of the Savage Land Mutates, empowered by Magneto, with whom she first battled the X-Men and Spider-Man. Later, although not a mutant, she joined the Marauders, a group of mutants working as assassins for Mister Sinister.

Vertigo is an artificially enhanced mutate possessing the ability to project waves of psionic energy into her environment which affect the nervous systems of other living beings, distorting their physical perceptions and sense of balance. This power induces effects ranging from mild disorientation and vertigo to unconsciousness. Vertigo can focus her power on one or more individuals, or project it outward from herself in all directions, affecting everyone within her range of influence. Vertigo is not immune to her own powers, as she was thrown off balance when Thor reflected her psychic waves back at her with Mjolnir.

Ever since Doctor Doom had become Sorcerer Supreme at the end of the " Blood Hunt" storyline and used a barrier to seal of Latveria from the rest of the world, Victorious has been trying to get back into Latveria wanting to have words with him as her attacks are affecting the bordering countries. While Captain American and Shang-Chi go after the Serpent Society, the Avengers Emergency Response Squad members Hercules, Living Lightning, Photon, She-Hulk, and Wonder Man deal with Victorious.

Viper

Viper is the name of four supervillains appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The first version Jordan Stryke first appeared in ''Captain America'' #157 (January 1973), created by Steve Englehart, Steve Gerber, Sal Buscema and John Verpoorten. Ophelia Sarkissian is the second version, and a third version appears in recent years.

Jordan Stryke

Jordan Stryke (a.k.a. Jordan Dixon) is the first version of Viper. He was the brother of Leopold Stryke, also known as the costumed criminal Eel. They each formed costumed identities without the other realizing this fact. Viper concealed this fact by using the alias of "Dixon" as his everyday last name. Together they joined the Crime Wave of the Cowled Commander, and the Viper battled the Falcon and Captain America. During the course of the fight, Viper managed to poison his opponents with darts and escaped. Later, the Falcon discovered the Viper in his home after tracking his alias (through an offhand comment made by the Viper indicating that he was involved in advertising) and captured him. Escaping in an ensuing battle with Plantman and the rest of the Crime Wave, Viper's identity was discovered by his brother Eel. Soon after, the Crime Wave was defeated by Captain America and the Falcon, and they were sent to prison.

Later escaping prison with his brother and the help of the Cobra, the trio formed the original Serpent Squad and attacked Captain America at his girlfriend's home in Virginia. Despite new weapons added to his arsenal, including the Venom-Firer and prosthetic fangs, the Viper and his partners were returned to jail. While in custody, he was being taken to appear before a grand jury by U.S. Marshals. The van he was transported in was attacked by Madame Hydra, and his guards were killed. Believing himself rescued by his Serpent Squad, Viper rushed out of the van, only to be told by Madame Hydra that she wanted a new name – his name. Despite offering to change his moniker, the Viper was gunned down and killed, and Madame Hydra assumed the name and leadership of the Serpent Squad. Later, his soul fragment was discovered by Hell's Angel and the X-Men in Mephisto's realm and, with Jordan Stryke's usual luck, even this was destroyed.

As part of the "All-New, All-Different Marvel", Viper somehow turned up alive and has assembled the other snake-themed villains to join the Serpent Society under its new name of Serpent Solutions. Viper appears in the 2017 " Secret Empire" storyline where he and the rest of the Serpent Society are among the villains recruited by Baron Helmut Zemo to join the Army of Evil. During the " Hunted" storyline, Viper and his fellow Serpent Society members were captured by Taskmaster and Black Ant for Kraven the Hunter's "Great Hunt" sponsored by Arcade's company Arcade Industries.

When Black Mamba, Puff Adder, Sidewinder, and the Serpent Society's new member Tiger Snake return with a specific cask to their underground stronghold beneath Pawling, New York, Viper is told by Puff Adder that Tiger Snake took down the guards and doesn't know where Viper found him. Viper tells Puff Adder that he is now going by the name Pit Viper when asked where he found Tiger Snake. As Puff Adder mixes the aged whale oil with the Serpent's Tears, Viper states that it will please their backer. While noting that Set is not the only serpent, he mentions that the red serpent is Mephisto as he is the one who cried the Serpent's Tears.

Ophelia Sarkissian

Viper (Leon Murtaugh)

A third version of Viper appeared along with Sin's new Serpent Squad in the pages of ''Captain America''. His name is Leon Murtaugh. He breaks Crossbones out of jail and later attacked the White House, but he was stopped by Captain America. Following that, he and the rest of the Squad took part in a plot to use madbombs to cause rioting in New York City. After being captured, Viper asked to go into the Witness Protection Program in exchange for information. He had only been in the program for less than a month when he was targeted by the villain killer Scourge and killed after being shot twice in the head.

The siblings are sent to Alexander Hamilton High School, but assigned different schedules. Both children are attacked by Eric Williams (Grim Reaper), with Viv more seriously damaged than her brother.''Vision'' (vol. 3) #1 Vision repairs her with the help of Tony Stark.

When Viv learns that her mother killed a classmate she befriended, she becomes distraught and begins to resent her mother. When both her brother and mother die, she and Vision try to carry on with their family life.

She joins the teen superhero team the Champions, alongside Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan), Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Nova (Sam Alexander), Hulk (Amadeus Cho), and later Teen Cyclops.

She later apparently sacrifices herself to save Earth and counter-Earth, but is actually transported into another dimension. Believing Viv to be dead, Vision constructs a second Viv, dubbed Viv 2.0. The original Viv manages to return to reality, but not before the second Viv is activated. Later, Viv 2.0 attempts to kill the original but is damaged and becomes brain-dead. The original Viv transplants her consciousness to the other Viv's body, effectively restoring the character to her android state.

In time, she develops romantic feelings for her teammate Ironheart, surprising her with a kiss. Riri reacts with revulsion due to internalised homophobia, but after a later incident with Blackheart, who exploited several of the Champions' (including Riri's) own self-doubts and turned them against their teammates, it is Viv's affection (and a returned Viv 2.0, alive inside Viv) which snaps Riri out of his control and finally acknowledge her friend's feelings.

Viv possesses the same powers as her father, including super strength, intangibility and flight. She also possesses a jewel on her forehead that absorbs solar energy. When she was a human she had no special abilities.
