A mutant whose visions of mutant futures made him fearful of mutants, Larry was born into the infamous Trask family and inspired his father Bolivar to create the legendary Sentinels. Making his own contributions to the mutant-hunting robots, it's fair to assume there will never be a Krakoan holiday named after... TRASK, LARRY!

A man with diamond hands and an ominous, psychic brain, Jack Winters was the first mutant to offer Scott Summers brotherhood. However, he was only interested in his own goals of power. Today we Spotlight the short-lived but (sorta) memorable... LIVING DIAMOND!

The Mad Merlin, the Warlock, the Demonspawn... this mentat has used many names throughout the centuries. The source of his power is questionable, but not his willingness to use it. He seeks the secrets of eternal youth and the opportunity to fulfill his every fantasy of power. Today we look closely at the man sometimes known as... MAHA YOGI!

Update on... the VIPER!

Another cross-site update, today we add the former Madame Hydra to MightyAvengers.Net's Spotlights on nefarious villains. Nihilist, terrorist... freedom fighter? The Viper is a militant foe to the common order of society, willing to give her own life (and more often the lives of others) in pursuit of her cause. Sometimes reasonable enough to cooperate with Spider-Woman or the X-Men, other times so insane that even the Red Skull had to reign her in, one should never trust the Viper or turn one's back on her for long.

Update On... WOLVERINE!

In 1986, Captain America had his first team up with Wolverine and swore afterwards that the feisty X-Man would never be an Avenger. Well, it wouldn't be the last time Cap was dead wrong about something. Today's update continues our All-New, All-Different X-Men Updates while also adding Wolverine to MightyAvengers.Net. Logan has certainly matured over the years, becoming a school headmaster, a team player, and a widely respected hero in the community. The one-time wild card and short fuse may still have a few berserker rages left in him, but on most days he can be trusted to act as the adult in the room or even babysit your children! How's that for character growth?

Article: LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING: A GUIDE TO THE COSMOS

As a companion article for this week's Captain Universe Spotlight, we delve deep into the mechanics of the Marvel Universe itself. The cosmic hierarchy of forces began with Steve Ditko, was expanded by Jim Starlin, Ron Lim, and Mark Gruenwald, and is currently the playground of Al Ewing. What came before this universe, what is the universe made of, and what will happen at cosmos' end? Read here to find out!

Spotlight On... LARRY TRASK!

Ever make a joke and then immediately get humbled by the universe? Our Monolith confidently announced Larry Trask as the LEAST likely mutant to ever get resurrected on Krakoa... mere days before the Sentinels limited was announced. Charles Xavier's record of good decisions led to a new Sentinel program in the aftermath of Krakoa's fall. Bolivar Trask's mutant son may have grown from "destroy all mutants" to "detain only dangerous mutants" but that only means he now struggles to make allies among humans and mutants alike. Back in action after 50+ years, Larry Trask wraps up this week of lame villains as a reminder than ANYTHING is possible on a long enough timeline...

Spotlight On... the LIVING DIAMOND!

Because the X-Men were introduced as an already-formed team, their individual origins came out later in a series of back-up stories showing how Xavier recruited them. Jack O'Diamonds was a criminal who tried recruiting the runaway Scott Summers as a partner-in-crime. Jack's madness soon became apparent, though, and the young Cyclops instead helped Charles Xavier fight against the Living Diamond. Jack seemingly died, but he reappeared in the Krakoan Era in a flashback story set shortly before Giant-Size X-Men #1, where... he died again. Okay. Cool.

Profile On... MAHA YOGI!

One of Marvel's oldest mutants, this villain debuted in Thor's feature the same month as X-Men #1 in 1963. However, he has struggled desperately to find a place ever since. The idea that Merlin was the first evil mutant didn't last, so he was renamed the Warlock and confirmed as an imposter of the real Merlin. He next used a stage name as the Maha Yogi...which somehow became his latest codename as well. Then his mutant powers weren't as important as his ties to the Caretaker of Arcturus (Remember them? Don't lie!) or his fragment of the Bloodgem, or Peter David losing a bet and having to write a story with Red Raven. Nearly 25 years later, "Merlin II" has yet to return from his last evil scheme.
