M-11 (Human Robot)

M-11 is a robot superhero. Originally known as the Human Robot, the character was given the name "M-11" in the 2006 to 2007 Agents of Atlas miniseries as an allusion to its first appearance in Menace #11 from Marvel Comics' 1950s predecessor, Atlas Comics. 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 ultimately falling off a pier into the sea and short-circuiting.
M-11 resurfaces as a member of the A.I. Army.

Other versions of M-11

In What If #9, the Human Robot is a member of a 1950s team of Avengers. After being retrieved from the sea, it is reprogrammed by Marvel Boy to prevent it harming the other team-members, although the Human Robot is still prone to responding aggressively to any actions that imply an attack. When the group battle a team of supervillains united by the Yellow Claw to kidnap the President, the Human Robot shields the group from an explosion and, when briefly believing the robot vapourised, 3-D Man admits that perhaps it was more 'human' than he had previously thought. Asked to disassemble in light of the paranoia of the time-period, this team of Avengers were destroyed when Immortus erased their reality in Avengers Forever.

Maha Yogi

Maha Yogi is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. He first appeared in Journey into Mystery #96, 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.
The false Merlin was revived in modern times, still posing as Merlin, and battled and was defeated by Thor, after which he went back into the coffin. He later became a professional criminal and took the name Warlock, organizing a band of armored mercenaries. He abducted Marvel Girl, battled the original X-Men, and was rendered comatose by Professor X.
Later, as the mentalist Maha Yogi, he attempted to create an army of mind-slaves. He fought and was defeated by the Beast and Iceman. The Maha Yogi then became the chairman of Merlin Industries. With Mongu, the Maha Yogi plotted world conquest, but was defeated by the Hulk and Doctor Druid. During his encounter with the Hulk, his fragment of the Bloodgem was destroyed and he rapidly aged into helplessness. Some time later, the Maha Yogi was revealed to have been created by the Caretakers of Arcturus and to have turned against them. He later appeared alive with his youth apparently restored by unknown means.
As a result of mutation induced by the Caretakers of Arcturus, the 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, the Maha Yogi is virtually immortal, and has a physically malleable body.
He has attempted to use true magic, performing a ritual to summon the demon known as Grendel's Mother.

Carlton Drake

Carlton Drake, created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane, first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #298. The Life Foundation's leader, he is a supervillain constantly at odds with Spider-Man and Eddie Brock. He hires Chance to steal European armaments. His men transport Chance to his survivalist facility Sanctum Maximus, and demand Chance's suit secrets. Spider-Man arrives to rescue Chance and the two destroy the facility while Drake escapes via helicopter. Drake next teams up with the foreign assassin Chakane in a plot to use enhanced, mindless mercenaries called Protectors for the assassination of Symkaria's king but his mercenaries are defeated by Spider-Man, Paladin and Silver Sable yet Drake's resources prevent any prosecution. Afterwards, Drake used the Tri-Sentinel for his clientele's protection, performing a "field test" against Spider-Man and Nova until being unresponsive to his controls and going on a rampage. With nothing else to lose, Drake has his men gather all the data and once again evade capture. Drake briefly team up with Justin Hammer and Jonas Hale in an effort to steal superpowers for their own nefarious purposes, but are stopped by Spider-Man and the New Warriors. Drake next uses the Venom symbiote to create five new symbiote "children" which he bonds to his employees. But his symbiote enforcers are defeated by Spider-Man and Brock, forcing Drake to once again flee while realizing that web-slinger is more troublesome than he believed. Drake next funds the Arachnis Project in an attempt to create a race of arachnids and cure his cancer with Roland Treece and Orwell Taylor as co-conspirators. He forced Professor Toshiro Mikashi to use Spider-Man's blood sample for the project. Drake injects himself with the serum, transforming himself into a Man Spider called Homo Arachnis. He lays waste to the entire facility, killing many of his former employees. However, the combined efforts of Spider-Man, Venom and The Jury send him falling beneath the facility. Drake later wakes up as a noticeably younger-looking human, swearing revenge against the ones who defeated him.

Spider-X

Spider-X, created by Mort Todd, first appeared in Midnight Sons Unlimited #3. As Spider-X was seen by many wearing Spider-Man's costume, he is initially believed to be Spider-Man himself, mutated by the Darkhold, until Mrs. Kornfield learned the truth and explained it to them. Kornfield grew up off Broadway in New York City, raised by his mother, his father having been killed at an unknown time period. He had a very active imagination and idolized all superheroes, even writing letters to as many of them as he could. His mother was brutally assaulted and mugged on the streets of New York. Brian became obsessed with becoming a super-hero, so he could find and take down her muggers. Brian was met by the Dwarf, an agent of the demon Chthon, who offered him the power to be like his idol Spider-Man via a page of the Darkhold. Brian accepted the offer and was transformed into Spider-X. His obsessive desire for vengeance was twisted even further by the black magic of the Darkhold and Brian saw himself as the ultimate arbitrator of justice willing to mete out punishment that no one else would. Spider-X first brutally slew the mugger who had attacked his mother. He then captured and planned to slay some other criminals, which brought him into conflict with the Ghost Rider and John Blaze when they crashed into a web Spider-X had spun across the entire street. Their conflict ended inconclusively when Spider-X fled from the Ghost Rider's penance stare. His eight eyes may have somehow diluted the stare's force, allowing him to break its hold. Another group of occult investigators/warriors, the Nightstalkers, came to New York and investigated a previous letter from Kornfield, which claimed there was an occult basis to the rise in crime in New York City. Spider-X attacked the three when they questioned his mother. His struggles escalated bringing in some of the Darkhold Redeemers summoned by the energy released by the use of a Darkhold page as well as Morbius, the Living Vampire and even Spider-Man himself. Still seeking to punish criminals, Spider-X continued to fight off the occult warriors, and traveled to the 14th Street power station where the mutant criminal Paralyzer was using the electrical energy to recreate the electrical monster Zzzax. Spider-X attacked Zzzax and the group of heroes fighting him poured their own powers into the conflict which caused an energy overload, apparently both killing Spider-X and dissipating Zzzax. When Brian first obtained his powers, he can tap into mystical power to achieve virtually limitless variations/amplifications of Spider-Man's powers. He also possesses a high degree of resistance to injury, including mystical assaults. He can recover from most attacks in seconds. He could climb walls and adhere to virtually any surface. He could form durable, adhesive webs which exuded a powerful acid. He possesses 4 extra spider-like limbs, 2 of which grew from his upper back and two from his waist. He had razor sharp fangs and could project bursts of destructive energy from his mouth. Brian Kornfield became a demonic Spider-Man after making a deal with the demon Chthon.

The character next appears as the supervillainess behind the "Spider-Island" storyline. She is the female benefactor to the Jackal in a virus to people involving Spider abilities while using Tarantula and the Spider King as enforcers. Their plan results New York's several hundred citizens having manifested Spider-abilities to which the Avengers defend New York City, despite Anti-Venom's abilities curing various Spider-powered individuals, and Carlie Cooper and Peter investigating this event's cause. Meanwhile, Soria has the Jackal use the Spider King to further their Man Spider virus. Mister Fantastic's vaccine for Spider-powered individuals can keep people from gaining abilities but does not cure anyone who already have the abilities while nearly everyone in New York slowly mutate into Man Spiders, to which Soria uses the Web of Life to control the Man Spiders. As Horizon Labs lead by Max Modell develop a serum via the Anti-Venom symbiote to kill/reverse the Man Spider mutations, Soria sends Tarantula to poison the serum, eventually resulting in her enforcer being cured of the Jackal's mutation. Meanwhile, she uses her sonic scream to kill the Jackal. Her enhanced powers evolves herself into the Spider Queen, an enormous Man Spider siphoning power from other Man Spiders when confronted by Steve Rogers and Agent Venom followed by Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson, and then New York's whole heroic community. Spider-Man uses Doctor Octopus's Octobots to carry the cure to reverse New York's mutation at once which made Soria lose most of her powers. Kaine Parker then uses the "Big Time" Spider-Armor to deflect her own sonic scream to slay Soria.

Spider King

The Spider King, created by Dan Slott and Stefano Caselli, first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #666. The Spider King is seen during the "Spider-Island" storyline.

However, the Spider King coughs out thousands of tiny spiders to spread the Man Spider virus, nearly killing Flash Thompson before the Venom symbiote's canine host interrupted which allowed Agent Venom to fight back before discovering that his original identity: Steve Rogers.
