Skull the Slayer (James Patrick Scully) is a fictional Marvel Comics character that debuted in his own book in
August, 1975. Skull the
Slayer is a trained soldier turned superhero who wears a Scorpion power belt
that enhances his strength and durability. The belt also has preservative
effects on his body's metabolism. On one occasion, Scully was able to funnel
energy into explosive force. The full capabilities of the belt are unknown.
Jim Scully was an adventurer
whose plane went through a time warp in the Bermuda
Triangle, marooning him and three companions in an alternate Earth where
dinosaurs, primitives, and aliens co-existed. Scully and his three companions
were eventually rescued and returned to their own world by the Thing of the Fantastic Four. He
served in Doctor Druid's team of
occult investigators the Shock Troop alongside Sepulchre and N'Kantu,
the Living Mummy. Skull
the Slayer found his way back to the alternate earth as the member of a
prospecting expedition, along with Lee
Forrester, and sent a message back to our earth
asking to be saved. The Future Foundation found the message buoy and contacted the X-Men (since Forrester, who had recorded the message,
had specifically asked for Cyclops and Magneto), and the two teams travelled through the portal to
the other world. The heroes discovered that time passes differently in the new
realm and the survivors had experienced three years passing since the buoy had
been launched. After an invasion attempt by the alien Emperor against both
groups' native Earth was thwarted by the efforts of the heroes, Skull and Lee,
who had fallen in love with each other, decided to stay behind and safeguard
two artifacts which would ensure peace between the alternate Earth's tribes.
Aleytys "Lee"
Forrester is a fictional character
appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Her first appearance was in Uncanny X-Men #143.
Forrester is a resident of Florida and the captain of the fishing
trawler, Arcadia. Cyclops of the X-Men, a.k.a. Scott Summers, hires himself aboard
the Arcadia during a leave of absence. Lee is targeted by the supernatural
being D'Spayre after her father, Jock, commits
suicide over the loss of his wife. D'Spayre is defeated by Cyclops and
D'Spayre's principal enemy, the Man-Thing.
Scott and Lee engage in a brief
romantic relationship. They are shipwrecked on an island inhabited by Magneto in the Bermuda Triangle, and Magneto reveals
Scott's identity as Cyclops to her. Lee eventually breaks off their
relationship, claiming she doesn't want to become involved in the X-Men's
dangerous lives,but becomes sexually intimate with Magneto after she rescues
him from a shark attack. However, she and Magneto drift apart when
duty compels him to become headmaster of Xavier's
School for Gifted Youngsters. After
this, she becomes interested in Cable,
but does not pursue it after she learns that he is the son of Cyclops,
from the future.
Lee returns years later as the
skipper for an expedition force which, after sailing through a dimensional warp
within the Bermuda Triangle, is
stranded in an alternate Earth, the same one the adventurer James Scully (who had been hired to join the
expedition as a guide) once traveled to. After three years, the only three surviving
members - Stanislaus, Forrester and Scully - send a message buoy through the
dimensional rift which brought them to this world. It is found by the Future Foundation, with whom the X-Men team up and travel to the alternate
world to retrieve the stranded. However, it had only been days for the
Earth-based heroes as time passes much differently in the dimension Lee and the
others were in.
In the meantime, Lee came into
contact and successfully negotiated with an unpredictable local tribe, the
Taddak, for their alliance against the more hostile tribes under the leadership
of the alien Emperor. In
the struggle which follows, Lee and Skull secure two artifacts which maintain
the delicate balance between the tribes of this Earth. In the time they spent
here, the two fell in love with each other, so Lee refuses the X-Men and the
Future Foundation's offer to return to her native Earth, instead staying with
Skull and safeguarding the two artifacts

Bishop is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, particularly titles
associated with the X-Men. He
first appears as a member of Xavier's
Security Enforcers (initially
called the Xavier School Enforcers), a mutant
police force from a dystopian future of the Marvel Universe. He travels to the
20th century and joins the X-Men, a team he knew only as legends. An example of
1990s anti-authority antiheroes,
Bishop experiences difficulty adjusting to the norms of the time period. In the
mid-2000s, Bishop took on an antagonistic role over the course of several
storylines. Bishop's mutant ability enables him to absorb all
forms of radiant or conductive energy that are directed towards him and to
release that energy from his body. This power is passive, allowing Bishop to
absorb energy at all times.
He can release this energy in
many different forms, usually as concussive blasts of biokinetic energy, even
amplified compared to the absorbed amount. Bishop can also store
absorbed energy within his personal reserves, whereupon the energy increases
his strength and recuperative abilities, as well as affording him a measure of
invulnerability.

in American comic books published
by Marvel Comics. Created by artist/writer Rob Liefeld and

appearance in The New Mutants and

whose real name is Wade Wilson, is a disfigured and mentally unstable mercenary
with the superhuman ability of an
accelerated healing factor and
physical prowess. The character is known as the "Merc with a Mouth"
because of his talkative nature and tendency to break the fourth
wall, which is used by writers for humorous
effect and running gags.
Weasel (Jack Hammer) is a fictional character appearing

occasions.

A cowardly young man, Bob was persuaded into joining the criminal

a stable career with a dental plan also appealed to Bob, though he was
disappointed to find out Hydra does not offer full dental like Advanced
Idea Mechanics (AIM). During Deadpool's assault on Hydra to rescue the captured Agent
X, he ran into Bob and coerced Bob into helping
him. Bob was hesitant, as Hydra would not allow him back into the organization
after having betrayed them, but Deadpool, at the time four inches tall, tortured
him with a security card until he relented. He then forced Bob to fly them to
safety in one of Hydra's jets, though Bob did not know how to pilot an
aircraft.

more. He love dogs and writing books. His dream is that one day he will go into
