Queen (Marvel Comics)

Quagmire

Quagmire (Jerome Meyers), a villain from the Squadron Supreme universe and member of the Institute of Evil, first appeared in flashback in ''Squadron Supreme'' #4 and fully in ''Squadron Supreme'' #5, and was created by Mark Gruenwald.

The character is a mutant with the ability to manipulate the extra-dimensional Darkforce in the form of a thick, dark, viscous tar-like substance. He can open a dimensional interface anywhere within thirty feet of him, and can control the flow of Darkforce from a thin spray of globules to a thick torrent of oozing slime. His darkforce manifestation is extremely adhesive: a sufficient quantity can immobilize beings of significant superhuman strength. He can also apply small quantities of it to his fingertips and toes to scale walls and ceilings. He can shape the Darkforce into animated tendrils or whip them about his person in a psychokinetic tornado.

He and the rest of the Institute of Evil hold the Squadron Supreme's loved ones hostage but are defeated, put through a behavior modification process, and granted full membership in the Squadron.

Quagmire later goes into a coma saving civilians from an industrial accident. While comatose, he interfaces with the Darkforce dimension, drowning Doctor Decibel and flooding the hospital with Darkforce until Hyperion disconnects his life support. Quagmire is sucked into the dimension and presumed dead.

Quagmire eventually enters the mainstream Earth dimension through the Man-Thing's body. This apparently restores his criminal personality, and he battles Quasar and Jennifer Kale.

Quake

Quantum

Quantum is the name of different characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Dakkamite version

Created by Steve Englehart and Al Milgrom, the character first appeared in ''West Coast Avengers'' vol. 2, #12 (September 1986).

Within the context of the stories, Quantum is an alien soldier from the planet Dakkam, one of the platoon of superpowered Dakkamite troops known as ''The Elect''. The scientists of his race noted that exposure to Earth's sun had given one Dakkamite renegade superpowers - they sought to exploit this by placing a platoon of soldiers inside specially designed 'incubator capsules', which were then located close to the sun. Quantum wakes at the end of this treatment to discover that his powers have manifested - but that the rest of The Elect has already gone. Searching for his comrades, he becomes part of a supervillain team assembled by Graviton to resemble the Unified Field Theory. Halflife represents the weak force, Quantum represents the strong force, while Zzzax represents electromagnetism. Graviton himself represents gravity, and promises Quantum that he would help to locate the missing soldiers. Graviton and his allies are defeated by the West Coast Avengers. Quantum, no longer believing Graviton's promises, abandons the team and goes his own way.

Quantum finds another superpowered Dakkamite on Earth — the Aquarian, the now-pacifist whose powers originally inspired the plan to enhance Dakkamite soldiers. Quantum considers the Aquarian, the son of a renegade, to be a traitor to the fatherworld, so Quantum attempts to kill him. However, Quasar intervenes, saving the Aquarian and, using his abilities to distort Quantum's powers, traps him as a trio of intangible duplicates. The whereabouts of his fellow members of The Elect, imprisoned on the Stranger's laboratory world, are later revealed. Quantum reappears as one of the beings who have been subtly drawn to the planet Godthab Omega by the manipulations of Glorian. This planet is later assaulted by the Annihilation Wave, killing many of the inhabitants.
