Answer: Rita DeMara

All of the names listed are or have been Avengers at one point in their crime fighting career. Janet Van Dyne, better known as the Wasp was a founding member of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Greer Nelson served aboard the West Coast branch of the Avengers as Tigra. Patsy Walker, aka Hellcat, fought with both the Defenders and Avengers. Rita DeMara, Yellowjacket II, began her young adulthood as a thief.

She served as a reserve member of the Avengers until her untimely death at the hands of Iron Man.

Answer: Aunt May's Maiden Name

Did anything good come of the Clone Saga? My answer to that question is always a resounding Yes. From the Clone Saga, Spider-Man's greatest villain return, Norman Osborn, the original Green Goblin. Osborn was found to be behind all of the plotting of the Clone Saga, even going as far as to kidnap Peter and Mary Jane's newborn baby, and replacing it with a stillborn child. Will the Spider-Baby ever return?

Answer: Black Knight II - Nathan Garrett

The second man to wear the mantle of the Black Knight in the Marvel Universe was that of Nathan Garrett, uncle to the third Black Knight, and Avenger, Dane Whitman. Garrett perished in battle with the Avengers when his robotic steed malfunctioned and fell to the ground. There is no fourth Black Knight, and Arthur Pendragon was the surname of King Arthur of Camelot.

Answer: Black Death

There is no character named Black Death. Black Mamba is a female member of the Serpent Society, foes of Captain America. Black Crow is a Native American avenging spirit in mystic warrior form of Jesse Black Crow, a disabled construction worker. Black Fox is an elderly thief who has been thwarted by Spider-Man on numerous occasions, but always let go because the ol' web head feels bad for the old guy. I think he needs to visit the Springfield Retirement Castle with Grandpa Simpson.

Answer: The Red Guardian

The Red Guardian was the Russian equivalent of Captain America. The Russian Government lied to the Black Widow and told her that her husband had perished while working for them. This led to her training and eventual espionage lifestyle as the Black Widow.

After years of believing her husband to be deceased it was revealed later that he was in fact alive, and with bitter irony included, he perished soon after their reunion.

Answer: The Red Ghost

Kragoff, a criminal genius, learned to control the brainwaves of apes and used them in his evil schemes. Sounds bad, but it's true.

Answer: Pheromone Production

The Purple Man's pheromones have proved to be quite powerful. They are absorbed by a victim via skin or nasal passage, rendering the individual(s) completely within Killgrave's control. Only a few people have been recorded to be completely unaffected by the pheromones namely Dr. Doom and the good ol' Ionic Avenger himself, Wonder Man.

The Purple Man's thugs use projective gas emitters to release what Killgrave has deemed his 'Purple Will-Deadening Gas'.

Answer: Jason Macendale

Jason Philip Macendale, a ruthless mercenary, first wore the guise of the Jack O' Lantern, and later the second Hobgoblin, but never wore the Green Goblin armor. Harry Osborn was the son of the original Green Goblin, and the second to wear the Goblin suit.

While being hospitalized for insanity, Harry's psychiatrist, Dr. Barton Hamilton learned of his dual identity and took up the mantle of the third Green Goblin for financial gain. Phil Urich, nephew to Daily Bugle star reporter Ben Urich, was the 4th to don the Green Goblin costume, with one exception, Urich's Goblin fought against crime.

Answer: The Grey Gargoyle

Duval, the Grey Gargoyle contracted his powers through the typical 'scientific accident'. Think about this true believers, how many heroes or villains gained their powers through scientific accidents? Interesting.

Answer: Bellboy

Johann Schmidt's position as a bellboy was the sole reason for him gaining entry into Hitler's Nazi Army. Hitler saw the utter hatred within the young man, who had committed his first murder in his teenage years and gave him an opportunity to strike fear into the hearts and minds of his Allied enemies as the Red Skull.

The Skull climbed the Nazi ranks quickly, eventually ascending to the second in command, only behind Adolph Hitler himself.
