List of Marvel Comics characters: M

'''Krystal M'Kraan' was originally introduced in The War of the Realms'' as a friend of Wiccan and a member of the drag House of Jumbo Carnation. She was depicted as a civilian dressed in a pink Phoenix Force costume. In ''Avengers Academy: Marvel's Voices'', M'Kraan was reintroduced as a new character separate from the M'Kraan Crystal, being created by future versions of Billy and Tommy Maximoff. M'Kraan is a living embodiment of multiversal convergence and nexus energy, who exists as a living nexus point between realities, rather than as an object or artifact. She is essentially the concept of the Nexus of Realities given form and awareness. She appears as a cosmic guide and stabilizing presence, interacting with the young heroes not through battle, but through meaning, reflection, and transformation. This version of M'Kraan conceptually aligns with entities like the Phoenix Force, which represents life and transformation, and with figures such as the Demiurge, who represents creation and destiny, and Kid Immortus, who represents the time axis of reality. == M-11 ==

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). 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. M-11 in other media M-11 appears in Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 via the "Agents of Atlas" DLC pack. == Maa-Gor ==

Maa-Gor is a member of a tribe of Man-Apes from Savage Land. 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. 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. In a later confrontation, as an adult, Ka-Zar would kill all of Maa-Gor's tribe by initiating a rockslide, leaving Maa-Gor the sole surviving Man-Ape. == Gideon Mace ==

Sir James "Mad Jim" Jaspers is a character in American comic books seen in Marvel Comics. He was created by David Thorpe and Alan Davis for Marvel UK. He is a powerful supervillain who was the archenemy of Captain Britain and Excalibur as well as a few other heroes and is also the main antagonist of the Excalibur series. In the reality of Earth-238, James Jaspers, a British politician waged a political war on mutants. He had been elected into office as a member of the English Parliament because of his anti mutant and anti super heroes stance and politics, however Jaspers was a mutant himself with powerful reality-warping abilities. His political façade and motivations for the elimination of his fellow mutants and superheroes was essentially to ensure his supremacy. Jaspers seemed a gifted politician, adept at swaying popular public opinion, with lines such as "if they were honest they wouldn't wear masks" but whether he was always mad, or descended into madness with the advent of his mutant reality-warping powers, Jaspers had lost his sanity. Jaspers of Earth-238 was so determined to rid his world of mutants, he began to move beyond drumming up anti-mutant sentiment and constructed an incredibly powerful adaptive cybernetic construct known simply as the Fury to hunt and eliminate all superpowered beings. Jaspers had also formed an advanced technologically equipped military task force, charged with eliminating super-powered beings, known as the Status Crew. Typically, the Status Crew would round up powered beings to hold them in concentration camps and exterminate them later. The Fury would deal with bigger threats. It would take less than two years for super powered beings to be on the verge of extinction. The Fury had been programmed by Jaspers to allow Jaspers to live as the sole powered being. Unmatched in power by any other being, with any potential threats ruthlessly destroyed by the Fury, Jaspers adopted the persona of Mad Jim Jaspers, a bank robber and crook paying homage to the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland as well as continuing the Lewis Carroll book theme with his own bank robbing crew, the Crazy Gang. 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 616 reality who Merlyn realized possessed even greater reality warping power. Merlyn would teleport one of the few remaining superheroes of Earth-238, Captain UK Linda McQuillan, to the 616 designated reality. Importantly he would also do so whilst she was being observed by the deadly cybiote the Fury. The Earth of 238 would fall into disarray due to the mad machinations and reality warping of Jaspers. It had become known as a crooked earth. Of similar concern was that the Jaspers of 616 had begun his political ascension, a worrying sign of things to come. Upon returning to mainstream reality/616, Captain Britain found that another Sir James Jaspers was leading an anti-superhero campaign, with the aid of Henry Peter Gyrich and Sebastian Shaw, members of the Hellfire Club. Jaspers managed to win a landslide general election victory on his anti-superhero platform and became Prime Minister of Britain. Events began to mirror those of Earth-238 and Jaspers unleashed the force of the Jaspers Warp upon London, causing much chaos and devastation. However, Jaspers found himself under attack from the reality-hopping Fury, and the two engage in a large-scale reality-warping battle in which Jaspers was ultimately killed by the Fury who teleported him outside the universe, where he would have no reality to control and thus be rendered powerless. == Mad Thinker ==
