[edit]M-11
[edit]Originally known as the Human Robot, M-11 was renamed in the 2006 to 2007 Agents of Atlas miniseries as an allusion to its first appearance in Menace #11 from Atlas Comics (Marvel Comics' 1950s predecessor).[1] In an alternate reality from mainstream Earth, a scientist's newly created robot is programmed by the scientist's greedy business manager to murder the scientist. The incomplete robot, however, continues through with his directive to "kill the man in the room", and kills the business manager when the man enters. The robot then leaves the house, programmed to "kill the man in the room", but falls off a pier into the sea and short-circuits.[2]

Maa-Gor
[edit]Maa-Gor is a member of a tribe of Man-Apes from Savage Land.[4] After losing a battle with Ka-Zar, he walks into the mystic mist surrounding the Savage Land, which transform him into a superhuman with increased intelligence, and he renames himself Man-God. Later, he returns to the mist and encounters an alien machine which he realize is responsible for his powers. The machine then split him into two; a blue logic part and a red emotional part. The blue is killed by the red, but the machine interacts and fuse them again, turning him into his old Man-Ape self.[5]
The origin of Maa-Gor's unrelenting thirst for revenge, and insane hatred and rivalry toward Ka-Zar, stems from Ka-Zar's saber-toothed tiger companion, "Zabu's raking talons", taking Maa-Gor's left eye. During the incident, Maa-Gor and his tribe murdered Lord Robert Plunder, the English nobleman who discovered the Savage Land, which was witnessed by Ka-Zar (Kevin Plunder), his son, while the Hidden Jungle Lord was still a young boy. As an adult, Ka-Zar kills Maa-Gor's tribe by initiating a rockslide, leaving Maa-Gor the sole surviving Man-Ape.[6]

In the reality of Earth-238,[7] James Jaspers, a British politician and mutant with powerful reality-warping abilities, uses the robot Fury and an advanced technologically equipped military task force, known as the Status Crew to eliminate mutants and super-powered beings. Unmatched in power by any other being, with any potential threats destroyed by Fury, Jaspers adopts the persona of Mad Jim Jaspers, a bank robber and crook paying homage to the Mad Hatter. It was around this time that the Omniversal Guardian Merlyn, became aware of not just this reality's version of Jaspers' danger to the multiverse but the Jim Jaspers of the Earth-616 reality, who Merlyn realized possessed even greater powers. Merlyn teleports one of the few remaining superheroes of Earth-238, Linda McQuillan, to Earth-616.[8]
The Jaspers of Earth-616 wins a landslide general election victory on an anti-superhero platform and becomes Prime Minister of Britain.

Moses Magnum is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. A supervillain who first appeared in Giant-Size Spider-Man #4 (April 1975), he was created by Gerry Conway and Ross Andru.[25] He is an arms dealer and terrorist.
Magnum was born in Ethiopia, but sided with Benito Mussolini's occupying army against his own people. Magnum later became a naturalized American citizen. He became president of the Deterrence Research Corporation (DRC), the world's foremost independent weapons manufacturing firm. As an arms expert, Magnum battled Spider-Man and the Punisher. Magnum surprisingly survived after the Punisher exposed him to chemical weapons.[26] Then, he seemingly fell to his death after a battle with Luke Cage.[27] However, Magnum was rescued by Apocalypse and granted superhuman powers which Magnum dubbed his "Magnum Force".[28] His powers include superhuman strength and geologically based powers to cause earthquakes and sense disruptions in the Earth.
Re-establishing his company as Magnum Munitions, Magnum purchases classified Deathlok cyborg technology from Cybertek.[29] After the criminal High-Tech stole the technology, Magnum sent one of his agents in a massive Terrordome weapons platform to retrieve it, but was thwarted by Deathlok. Magnum subsequently bid against rival weapons manufacturers A.I.M. for a defense contract, destroying their world headquarters after they refused to withdraw their bid. Magnum used the subsequent profits to outfit a new army, conquering the African nation Canaan and seeking to restructure it into a homeland for African-Americans. Magnum then sought to ensure Canaan's economic independence by invading neighboring Wakanda, but Wakanda's king, Black Panther, foils the invasion with Deathlok's aid.[30]
Moses Magnum's body generates seismic force which amplifies his natural strength, gives him an unknown degree of durability and attunes him to seismic vibrations. He can unleash this energy to cause vibratory shockwaves, minor tremors or devastating earthquakes. These waves will emanate from his body in all directions unless he purposefully tries to channel them in a single direction, usually along the length of his arms and through the tips of his fingers.

Maha Yogi is a character in the Marvel Universe. He first appeared in Journey into Mystery #96 (September 1963), and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Yogi was apparently born 10,000 years ago in what is now Central Europe. He apparently was a savage that came to possess some portion of the same Bloodgem that Ulysses Bloodstone would later possess, which gave him immortality and eternal youth. He later came to Britain during the time of Camelot, and impersonated the real Merlin while he was away. The Eternal Sersi exposed the impostor, and the real Merlin placed him in suspended animation.[32] Yogi was revived in modern times, still posing as Merlin, and battled and was defeated by Thor.[33]
As a result of mutation induced by the Caretakers of Arcturus, Maha Yogi had the psionic abilities to control the minds of others, create illusions, project psionic force bolts, levitate objects as large as a building, teleport himself, create force fields and alter his own appearance. His psionic powers have a limited range. Thanks to his possession of a fragment of the Bloodstone, Maha Yogi is virtually immortal, and has a physically malleable body.
