Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Carl Burgos, he debuted in Strange Tales #123 (August 1964) as the original Beetle, a supervillain wielding winged armor who became frustrated with his ordinary job as an aircraft mechanic and deciding to turn to crime. Although in his first appearance he fought the Human Torch and the Thing of the Fantastic Four, later storylines established Jenkins as a recurring foe of Spider-Man, usually working as a henchman for various criminal organizations opposing the hero. Jenkins later formed his own criminal organization known as the Sinister Syndicate.
After abandoning his Beetle persona, Jenkins was recruited into the Thunderbolts—a supervillain team assembled by Helmut Zemo to pose as superheroes to gain access to the technology of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, groups which had both seemingly died while fighting Onslaught. Jenkins became known as "MACH-1", using a modified version of his Beetle armor that was designed for faster flight and higher altitude. The Thunderbolts were introduced in Incredible Hulk #449 (January 1997), and although they originally went along with Zemo's plan, later storylines depicted them as disobeying him due to enjoying the attention and adulation they received as heroes. Seeking redemption, Jenkins was convinced to give himself over to authorities to serve out an outstanding prison sentence in exchange for the Thunderbolts being granted immunity. During his time in jail, Jenkins helped the authorities out, which led to him working for the government after his release from prison. He later began working at the Raft prison as head of security and re-joined the Thunderbolts, now a team of reformed criminals trying to earn time off their sentence by working for the government. In the storyline Secret Empire, Jenkins is killed when Zemo attacks the Thunderbolts.

Created as a part of the group known as the Hellions, he exists in Marvel's main shared universe, known as the Marvel Universe. His first appearance was in The New Mutants #16.
Haroun ibn Sallah al-Rashid was born in the Rif Mountains in Morocco. As Jetstream, he was a student and operative of the White Queen and member of the original group of Hellions, the trainee group of mutants set up by the Hellfire Club to be a rival to the New Mutants. Haroun felt obligated to be part of the group; they gave him cybernetics to stop his powers from causing self-injury.
Jetstream and most of the Hellions were killed in an attack by Trevor Fitzroy, who uses them to fuel his powers. Jetstream resurfaces during the Krakoan Age, having presumably been resurrected by the Five.
Powers and abilities of Jetstream

To enable him to use his power, the Hellfire Club provided Jetstream with a Frost Industries bionic system. Among these systems was a foldable backpack which contained computerized scanning devices and aerial navigation, and rockets in his thighs to help contain, focus, and control his power. Jetstream is a fair hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained at the Massachusetts Academy.
Jiang Li
Jiang Li is the hero Shang-Chi's mother who debuted in Shang-Chi (vol. 2) #4 (September 2021). The character was created by Gene Luen Yang and Dike Ruan, and is based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) character Ying Li, portrayed by Fala Chen in the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021). As a Qilin Rider, Jiang Li is blessed by the Xian with the power of innate archery and to psionically link with qilin. Jiang Li can also extend her psionic abilities to other individuals, including humans and aliens. She is also proficient in martial arts.
In the early 1970s, writer Steve Englehart and artist Jim Starlin developed the character Shang-Chi, a master of kung fu and a previously unknown son of Dr. Fu Manchu. Shang-Chi's mother was a white American woman, per mandate by then editor-in-chief Roy Thomas. She was selected by Fu Manchu to be the mother of his progeny for her genetics.
The name Jiang Li was originally used for Shang-Chi's mother in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, in which she is depicted as an Asian woman, although the name for the film character was ultimately changed to Ying Li. Following the film's release, Shang-Chi comic writer Gene Luen Yang incorporated several concepts introduced in the film into the Shang-Chi mythos, including the character Jiang Li as Shang-Chi's real mother, who was based on Shang-Chi's mother Ying Li, retconning Shang-Chi's white American mother and his mixed-race heritage; the heavenly realm Ta-Lo, which was previously introduced by writers Mark Gruenwald, Ralph Macchio and artist Keith Pollard in Thor #310 (1980); and the Ten Rings weapons. Refinery29 reviewer Leah Marilla Thomas praised the newer incarnation of the character for the "mythical (and devastatingly romantic) backstory", which makes her a "real character" as compared to the brief appearances in earlier comics.
Fictional character biography
Jiang Li was born into one of Ta-Lo's few communities of mortals known as the Qilin Riders who were appointed by the Xian as guardians of the gateway connecting Ta-Lo to Qilin Island in the East China Sea. While on patrol, Jiang Li rescued a shipwrecked Zheng Zu from pirates. Jiang Li nursed Zu back to health and the two fell in love. However, Jiang Li's father, Chieftain Xin, was outraged over her harboring an outsider and ordered her to return to Ta-Lo with Zu's head. Instead, Jiang Li and Zu fled to Zu's House of the Deadly Hand in Hunan, where Jiang Li discovered Zu's true identity as the leader of the Five Weapons Society, a criminal organization. Jiang Li attempted to leave him, but Zu pleaded with her to stay, promising to change his dark ways. True to his word, Zu rediscovered his own humanity from Jiang Li and the two married and had two children: Shang-Chi and Shi-Hua. However following an attack by Hydra against the House of the Deadly Hand, Zu became cold and distant towards his family, as he felt that his love for them made him weak. Out of loneliness, Jiang Li sent a letter to her father and a few weeks later was drawn to a confrontation between Xin and Zu in the latter's personal tower, where it was revealed that Zu had constructed a makeshift portal to Ta-Lo to steal the realm's sacred weapons to bolster the Society. While Zu fought his wife and father-in-law, Shang-Chi happened upon the scene, just as the portal's connection to Ta-Lo became disconnected and Jiang Li was accidentally pushed through to her presumed death.
Instead, Jiang Li was sent to the Negative Zone, where she used her psionic abilities to mentally link with the native mantid creatures, who protected and sheltered her. Jiang Li resided in the Negative Zone for many years, occasionally using her psionic abilities to reach out to her children. After Shang-Chi took over the Five Weapons Society following Zu's death and began reforming it as a heroic organization, he began receiving Jiang Li's messages through his dreams and travelled to the Negative Zone with his half-siblings to rescue her. While she recuperated at the New House of the Deadly Hand in Chinatown, Manhattan, she is secretly visited by her father. Despite claiming to being overjoyed to see her again, Xin is consumed by his rage towards Zu and his bloodline since his earlier confrontation with them and believes Shang-Chi to be as evil as his father, vowing to put an end to his grandson.
Due to being mentally linked to insects for many years, Jiang Li takes a while to recover her mental health but spends time with her son and his half-siblings. After she fully recovers, Jiang Li begins telling Shang-Chi their family history but the two are attacked by several enemies of the Society. Jiang Li uses her psionic abelites to realize that they are being led by Xin. Although Shang-Chi and the Society are able to defeat the would-be assassins, Jiang Li is taken hostage by them, forcing Shang-Chi to let them escape. Although Xin is outraged over their failure to kill Shang-Chi and for kidnapping his daughter, he allows his allies to escape with Jiang Li through a portal to Qilin Island and through the gateway to Ta-Lo. After failing to acquire Shang-Chi's corpse to complete his magic, Xin forcibly extracts Jiang Li's psionic energy to locate Shi-Hua for his ritual. Xin returns with Shi-Hua's severed right hand, which he uses to create taotie masks for himself and the Qilin Riders. Jiang Li escapes by psionically bonding with a nearby qilin and travels back to Earth to help the Society defend the House of the Deadly Hand from the mask empowered Riders. Jiang Li briefly faces off against her father, who is empowered by his own mask and several of the heavenly Ten Rings but helped by the arrival of Shang-Chi and his siblings. When Shang-Chi succumbs to his inner darkness to take the Ten Rings from Xin and defeats him and the Riders, he attempts to sever Xin's hand in retaliation for what he did to Shi-Hua but Jiang Li and his siblings talk him down, bringing him back to his senses. Jiang Li and Shang-Chi return to Ta-Lo for Xin to face justice and to return the Ten Rings to the Jade Emperor, who appoints Jiang Li as the new Chieftain of the Qilin Riders, which requires her to remain in Ta-Lo.

Joseph
Joseph is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Roger Cruz, he first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #327 (December 1995). The original Joseph is a clone of the X-Men's nemesis Magneto, possessing his magnetic powers, though he was originally intended to be an amnesiac Magneto.
First Joseph
While Magneto was recuperating from Holocaust's attack on Avalon, his follower Astra secretly created an amnesiac clone of Magneto to kill him only to flee when Magneto avoids him. Joseph was discovered near a South American orphanage run by a nun known as Sister Maria. After several run-ins with "The Colonel", Joseph opted to leave the orphanage to protect the children. It was shortly after this that he encountered Rogue and saved her from the first wave of Bastion's "Operation Zero Tolerance". Rogue believed Joseph to be an amnesiac and mysteriously youthful Magneto. During this time, the X-Men first encountered the entity Onslaught. Believing Magneto to be responsible, the Avengers sought Joseph out and figured out that he was not responsible nor was he like Magneto. Out of guilt for what he believed were his past sins, Joseph joined the X-Men in their war against Onslaught.
When Magneto caused an electromagnetic pulse in Earth, Joseph sacrifices his life to stop Magneto's plot, which briefly depowered Magneto. After being resurrected by Astra, Joseph forms a version of the Brotherhood of Mutants alongside Astra and clones of Blob, Mastermind, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Toad.
3K's Joseph

Josiah X
Josiah X is a character, the son of Isaiah Bradley, the black Captain America, and the uncle of Elijah Bradley, the Patriot. The character was created by Christopher Priest and Joe Bennett, and debuted in The Crew #1.
Josiah is a Nation of Islam minister. He replaced his last name Bradley with the letter "X". He has had many names including "Justice", the one he used as a hero. The "X" apparently symbolizes his allegiance to the Lost Tribe of Shabazz. Josiah runs a Nation of Islam Mission in the "Mog" (Little Mogadishu) in Brooklyn, New York.
As depicted in the series Truth: Red, White & Black, the World War II Super Soldier program of 1942 used African American test subjects in a beta phase. After a failed suicide mission to destroy the Super-Soldier efforts of the Nazis, Isaiah Bradley was court-martialed and imprisoned. While he was in prison, the government attempted to use his altered DNA to create another Super-Soldier. After 39 attempts they had a single success, which was Josiah. His surrogate mother smuggled him out from the government's watchful eye.
Josiah grew up alone in a Catholic orphanage outside of Boston. His powers revealed themselves when he lashed out at one of the orphanage nuns while in his early teens. Believing he had accidentally killed Sister Irenia, he fled. Under the assumed name of Josiah Smith, he entered the U.S. Army. After meeting his real parents, Josiah left the US and traveled abroad as a private military contractor and adventurer. It was in Africa that Josiah discovered the Islamic faith and decided to use it to find a purpose for his life.
Due to his unique genetic makeup, Josiah ages very slowly. Although he is well over fifty years old, he appears to be twenty-five. His genetic code was manipulated with great precision to compensate for the side effects of unrefined Super Soldier serum. Josiah is extremely strong (able to bench press over 1,100 pounds) and his body possesses phenomenal endurance. Because of his many years on the run from the U.S. government, Josiah has experience and training as both a soldier and mercenary. He also has decades of experience with a variety of martial arts styles, languages and weapons.
Josiah carries the scarred battle shield belonging to his father and predecessor Isaiah, similar to one used by Steve Rogers before receiving his vibranium-steel shield. It is an unpainted concave triangular metal shield with the Double V for Victory design. For protection he wears a loose chain mesh shirt over light padding. This mesh shirt is capable of blunting the impact of most small arms fire.

Urich (as Green Goblin) saves Ellis as Ben Reilly still fights the woman. Meanwhile, in Paris, El Toro Negro attacks Joystick's "monitor", seeking revenge against her.
Joystick attacks Ben Reilly when he invades a facility's installations. Soon after, when Ben stops an attempt on Jonah Jameson's life (courtesy of El Toro Negro), an all-out brawl happens between the three, Chance, and Cardiac. During a fierce melee battle, El Toro Negro unveils his role in the conspiracy to a beaten Joystick: he assumed the role of a rogue player in the game to divert attention to the hostile takeovers happening backstage.
