Morgan Le Fay, born in England, becomes a priestess
and a leader of the sixth century cult called Darkhold.
Later turns into the supervillain of Marvel Comics
and the nemesis of the original Black Knight.
Derived from her faerie genetic configuration,
she possesses natural affinity for magical forces,
that made her one of world’s greatest female sorcerers
who can mystically manipulate the earth’s ecosystem.
She can cast illusion to remove spirits from their bodies,
place them under her total control as an enchantress.
With the supernatural power to transmute things,
she can change people and animals into other forms.
Her schemes have crossed the limits of centuries,
the true power of the magician filled with ill will,
destroys kingdoms and challenges all the Avengers,
while her elven heritage grants her immortality.
She can control the astral space where she once existed
and descending on earth she tries to take it over.
Her feats earn her a place in Sanctum Sanctorium
as the world’s latest sorcerer supreme.

"You are an avenger"
"You are a spy"
I am those, but more
I am the Black Widow.
I have blood on my hands, my face
I have hunted people and betrayed.
I have run to relish my freedom but realised
No one escapes their past by fighting the devil
Your ghosts haunt you in your dreams.
Do not regret me when I am gone
This sacrifice is a selfish one for it will calm my soul
I will know I won when my demons are far
Perhaps in saving the world, I will save myself.
Death will bring me closure
I will have died in peace, not war
I will have washed off my sins
And my ledger will be clean.

In the depths of hellfire, his spirit ablaze,
Johnny Blaze rides out, the Ghost Rider's craze.
His penance, to serve vengeance on the guilty,
Flaming skull, chain whip, his methods filthy.
His roar echoes, through the night,
Burning sinners, till they're out of sight.
A force of reckoning, he leaves no trace,
The Ghost Rider's fury, you can't replace.
Beware his wrath, if you're a wrongdoer,
For he'll leave you, with your soul in the sewer.
A Marvel hero, with a demonic twist,
Ghost Rider's tale, can never be missed.

She shines like a diamond under the sun,
yet, so strong to be called a woman;
A demi-god with a matchless beauty,
with the strength of an almighty.
She has the power of a lightning charm,
and a beauty that seems to do no harm.
A mere flash of her smile is like a potion
that charms the hearts of a million.
She wields the lasso of Hestia
all the way from Themyscira.
The strength of Zeus flows through her fingers.
In hearts of men, her matchless charm lingers.
Should one love or fear her
for she has the strength of a god killer?
She's a gem with a gleaming emission
that saves the world from destruction.

It happens most nights
When evil is near
Something takes over
And I’m not here
Everything goes dark
And I lose my human desire
I turn to bone
I’m engulfed in fire
With my steel chain
And my Penance stare
The demons I’m hunting
Had better beware
The Devil cursed me
With a blood sealed stain
To vanquish the demons
And cause me pain
I’m the peacemaker
The evil decider
I walk this Earth
As the Ghost Rider
If you cross my path
And have done wrong
I will send you to Hell
Where you belong

They are a group of people with special powers,
They are a class of people with unique abilities,
Males and females with human frailties,
They are united in their pursuits.
Called to be defenders,
They stand against their contenders,
Who are unrelenting in staging their rage,
Putting the non-mutants into their cage.
They are a formidable team
Their unique powers beam
into every dark alley and sinister trail,
To expose every villain without fail.
A group founded by one man,
With a vision to teach and train every mutant,
To be justice and peace pursuant,
And to be a force for good.

Thanos wanted to bring
chaos to the world
He thought if he could
wipe out half of everything
it would bring balance
Thor tried to make sure
that Thanos didn’t get
the stone within the
tesseract but Loki
gave it right into his
hands and he snapped
his neck in the process
The Avengers tried every
way possible to keep
Thanos from getting the
Infinity stones
Thanos was always a step
ahead of the game
So many of the Avengers
lost to Thanos when
he snapped his fingers
with the Infinity gauntlet on
For 5 years they were
snapped out of existence
Thanos had gotten what
he wanted but was it
all it was cracked up to be
Thanos hid out on a planet
for 5 years after the snap
Eventually Thor, Ironman, Black Widow
and a few others caught up
With him
The Infinity gauntlet was permanently
fused to his hand and didn’t work
anymore. So Thor decided to cut
Thanos arm to get the gauntlet
so Tony Stark could find a way
to restore it
Then Thor beheaded Thanos.
That was not his end though.
That was not Thanos
end game yet
His name is Thor, the God of thunder,
the mighty son of Odin All-Father.
His matchless strength can make the ground tremble,
and make his enemies stumble.
His Godly look gives him appeal.
His lively zeal, no one could steal.
With the spell of his luster
he charmed the heart of Jane Foster.
In Asgard, he rules with his might,
for he's the bearer of the light.
Everytime he wields his hammer,
all his enemies stammer.
Everytime he goes to war,
may it be near, may it be far,
he brings home noble victory
with Lady Sif and the warriors three.

Verdant rage,
Lurking in the depths of his soul,
Gives rise to a hulking figure of green.
The anger builds as his muscles tense,
Ready to unleash his might
Against anyone who would dare to stand in his way.
His skin crackles and sparks with power,
As his strength increases with each passing moment.
His eyes are wild with fury,
His fists ready to strike.
Nothing can stand in his path,
Not even the mightiest of foes.
He is the lord of rage,
The king of the green,
The Hulk.

Natasha Romanova, the fair 'Black Widow',
In The Marvel Comis, is a superhero;
Surreptitious, specific, and snake-like deadly,
A one-woman army, when needed, self-medley...!
Adorned with the boundless power of hypnosis,
She made anyone, to act as per her gnosis;
With super reflexes, she functioned lightning-fast,
Saved Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson from bullet-blast...!
like Captain America, the peak strength she gained,
She turned her physique stronger or faster, unstrained;
Resurrection was her grand strange ability,
Getting killed, she soon rose in calm tranquility...!
Like light bats or cats or rats, she ascended on walls,
Midst her marvelous jumps, she escaped any falls;
Like Count Dracula, she could, often, shapeshift,
The mighty Mjolnir hammer she could freely lift...!
Her weakness of guilt or ego could not outweigh,
When her might, like gales or storms, made headway;
She sacrificed her life to save others, stories say,
In the Midwest, in a still grave, she calmly lay...!!!

A fictional facility created in mother’s memory
by Amadeus Arkham in an island off Gotham city coast,
Arkham Hospital is a unique asylum
for the criminally insane supervillains.
The asylum has a long and vicious history,
a part of which is dominated by Batman,
the comic book superhero at the top of physical ability,
having an agile expertise in various forms of martial arts.
He faces several mentally sick desperado inmates,
like enraged Bane and serial killer Victor, and finds
way out of hallucinating nightmares created by Scarecrow,
counteracts the nefarious designs of the formidable foes.
A fictitious leading institution for psychiatric research,
the asylum has special cells like the extreme isolation,
that accommodates a wide variety of insane evil patients,
whose wicked plots are dexterously wrecked by Batman.

I have a scramble on this individual.
He made a dress out of unoriginal.
His capacity to fly was conceived.
It is labeled as the sky has heaved.
In his glove, he hid a weapon.
Rockets raining down from his beckon.
We passed by as the aircraft flew by.
That was beyond his power to say.
Could swim the entire way to the bottom.
Might actually make a trip to far off scrotum
I would be there in no time flat with him.
My superhero is Iron Man, something I whim.

Wonder Woman, a beauty to behold
Her adventures something to be extolled
In a world where mostly men are superheroes
Like Jack Reacher and the Robert De Niros
Comes a woman who stands straight and tall
For right and justice and never takes a fall
So, I want to give her a place among the best
Since she’s head and shoulders above the rest.

Oh, mighty is the shield used by the man
Captain America. This great shield can
slice even through resistance of hard wind
and loss of it momentum can rescind
because of its concentric shape, and so
it is a weapon that the Cap can throw!
By accident this starred shield came to be
when its creator slept and did not see
the binding catalyst that made it great.
It was a substance none could duplicate!
Absorbing energy, it just makes more
and Cap can take a beating then from Thor!
The Captain merely stands on it, and he
is well protected by its energy.
Kinetic is this energy, and Cap
just stands on it, absorbing new impact!
It flaunts a star and stripes red, white and blue.
Not just a shield, it is a weapon too!
So many other spells does Captain use.
A legend of America is he whose
other hero friends are “Marvel”ous.
They battle villains with such fearlessness!
How frail did Steven Rogers use to be.
But now a warrior most brave is he.
