Occupation: Inapplicable. Identity: Publicly known. Legal Status: Inapplicable. Other Aliases: Mistress Death. Place of Birth: The "big bang". Marital Status: Inapplicable. Known Relatives: Eternity ("sibling"). Group Affiliation: One manifestation is an associate of Thanos. Base of Operations: Inapplicable. First Post-Reboot Appearance: INFINITY QUEST # History: The cosmic entity known as Death came into being early in the universe, possibly nanoseconds after the universe was created, when the first living being perished. Because they were formed at the same time, she sees Eternity, the embodiment of the physical nature of the universe, as a sibling (see Eternity). For some reason, Death often manifests bodies in a feminine manner, so that most people across the universe speak of Death as a female, though as an embodiment of a cosmic abstraction Death does not have a defined gender as mortals would view such things. The exact relationship between Death and the various rulers of realms of the afterlife – such as Hela and Hades – and hell dimensions such as those ruled by Mephisto and "Satan" is uncertain (see Hades, Hela, Mephisto, Satan). Somehow, Death came to the attention of the mad Titan Thanos, who fell in love with her (see Thanos). For some reason, Death decided to manifest as his constant silent companion, appearing as a young humanoid woman of indeterminate species and variable appearance, and expressing herself through body language alone as Thanos attempted to show his love and win her favor. Death's motives for doing this are unknown. Death has claimed that when the universe comes to an end, she will be the last to go. Death has also claimed that she is the one being the Living Tribunal, the supreme multiversal authority, has no power over (see Living Tribunal). Height: Variable; primary manifestation is 5' 8". Weight: Variable. Eyes: Variable. Hair: Variable. Uniform: None; her primary manifestation wears a hooded black floor-length robe. Strength Level: Immeasurable; her most commonly manifested body has not been shown doing any physical action, so that body's strength – if any – is unknown. Known Superhuman Powers: She's Death. She has been shown being able to end a life at will, often with a touch. Her manifestations tend to vary between solid and ethereal. Stats: She's Death. Role-Playing Notes: When appearing beside Thanos, Death prefers to remain silent, speaking through body language alone. Other times, she will speak to those who meet her. Her motives are inscrutable, and her methods mysterious. The best that can be said is that she is patient, and will not claim a life before its time.

Occupation: Gladiatorial arena owner, gamesman. Identity: The Grandmaster's existence is known to the general populace of the galaxy at large, though he is currently unknown on Earth. Legal Status: Resident of Port Nowhere. Other Aliases: The Master of Games. Place of Birth: Unrevealed. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: None. Group Affiliation: Elders of the Universe. Base of Operations: Port Nowhere. First Post-Reboot Appearance: CAPTAIN MARVEL # History: Like those of all the Elders of the Universe, the Grandmaster’s origin is lost in early history of the universe (see Elders of the Universe). It is known that he is one of the oldest living beings in the universe; like other Elders, he is the survivor of one of the intelligent races that evolved in one of the first galaxies to form after the "Big Bang". Although his race became extinct and even his native galaxy died as the ages passed, the Grandmaster, like the other Elders, lived on, having become virtually immortal. As the relatively few survivors of the earliest period of the universe, the Elders regard each other figuratively as brothers. The Grandmaster has spent his extraordinary long life in pursuit of amusement through the playing of games. He has traveled throughout the known universe studying many civilizations' forms of games and playing them to the point of mastering them. He then began to devise his own types of tournaments and contests, challenging various opponents to games of skill and chance for high stakes. It is unknown how long the Grandmaster has been a resident of the interstellar free port known as Port Nowhere, but it's claimed that he has been there longer than living memory, which for some species can be a very long time (see Port Nowhere). At Port Nowhere, he runs a gladiatorial arena, which is not necessarily a deathmatch (though fatalities have been known to happen). He is also reputed to engage in various "contests of champions" with other Elders and certain other beings, pitting teams of chosen pawns against each other in various contests, including but not limited to "scavenger hunts" for powerful objects. At some unknown point in the past, the Grandmaster came into possession of a primordial gem of power, the Time Gem, one of the six Infinity Gems (see Infinity Gems). As the keeper of the Time Gem, he has come into conflict with the being known as the Magus as well as the aggressive Universal Church of Truth; the Magus was seeking to possess the Gem while the Church sought to destroy it (see Magus; Universal Church of Truth). He briefly aided the ragtag team brought together by Adam Warlock against the Magus, all the while deflecting the issue of where he kept the Time Gem (see Warlock, Adam). Height: 7' 1". Eyes: Red, no

His first act as Emperor was to order their combined forces to Earth to defeat their mutual enemy, the plantlike race known as the Cotati. Led by Quoi, the prophesied Celestial Messiah, and his father, the Swordsman, the Cotati plan to eliminate all animal life --starting with Earth. The united members of the Avengers and Fantastic Four have been defending the planet from the invading Cotati but were unable to stop them from planting the seeds for the Death Blossom. Once it blooms, the Cotati will have control of all plant life in the galaxy. Captain Marvel and the Human Torch teamed up with former Young Avenger Wiccan, who revealed he and Hulkling had recently married. He also exposed Emperor Hulking as R’Klll, the former Skrull empress, in disguise. But while Wiccan and his allies freed the true Hulkling from captivity, they were too late to stop R’Klll from activating the Pyre, a weapon that will end the threat of the Cotati forever--by detonating Earth’s sun! story Al Ewing & Dan Slott script Al Ewing artist Valerio Schiti color artist Marte Gracia letterer VC’s Joe Caramagna cover Jim Cheung & Jay David Ramos variant covers Jim Cheung & Jay David Ramos; Michael Cho; John Tyler Christopher; Tony Daniel & Frank D’Armata; Alexander Lozano & Wade von Grawbadger; Mike McKone & Morry Hollowell; Mike Mignola graphic designer Carlos Lao assistant editor Martin Biro associate editor Alanna Smith editor Tom Brevoort editor in chief C.B.

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository. 6086. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/etd/6086 This Dissertation/Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by Scholarship@Western. It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Established in 2008 with the release of Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a ubiquitous transmedia sensation. Its uniquely interwoven narrative provides auspicious grounds for scholarly consideration. The franchise conscientiously presents larger-than-life superheroes as complex and incredibly emotional individuals who form profound interpersonal relationships with one another. This thesis explores Sarah Hagelin’s concept of resistant vulnerability, which she defines as a “shared human experience,” as it manifests in the substantial relationships that Steve Rogers (Captain America) cultivates throughout the Captain America narrative (11). This project focuses on Steve’s relationships with the following characters: Agent Peggy Carter, Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), and Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier).
