Dorothy Walker

Dorothy Walker is a fictional character in Marvel Comics. She was created by Stuart Little and Ruth Atkinson and first appeared in ''Miss America Magazine'' #2 (November 1944). She was reintroduced in '' The Defenders'' #89 (November 1980) by David Michelinie and Mike Harris as a radical departure from her initial conception.

Dorothy Walker was introduced as Betty Walker, the typical doting mother of Patsy Walker. This existence was revealed to have been a comic book written by Dorothy and loosely inspired by the teenage Patsy's life. Because of this Patsy was cared for by their housekeeper Dolly Donahue. While Dorothy bathed in the success of her comic, Patsy loathed it and their relationship was heavily strained. When she divorced her husband, Joshua, she got custody of Patsy and her brother Mickey due to her wealth.

Dorothy did not approve of Patsy's marriage to Buzz Baxter and when the two ended up divorcing, Dorothy lost contact with her daughter. Years later, Dorothy was stricken with cancer and died before she got to see Patsy again. Patsy realized that despite her mother's sometimes cold attitude towards her, she was doing everything she could to forgive her. Unbeknownst to her, Dorothy attempted to make a deal with the demon Avarrish. In exchange for Patsy's soul, Dorothy would be restored to life without cancer. However, Avarrish failed and Dorothy remained dead.

The two briefly connect over the difficulty of handling their daughters, and Alisa tells Dorothy where Jessica lives afterwards. When Trish ends up in the hospital due to Dr. Karl Malus's experiments, Dorothy meets with Jessica and admits that she does not blame her for Trish's decisions as they are the only family left. Later, Alisa tries to attack Trish at the hospital, killing Detective Sunday in the process, at which point Dorothy goes back to blaming Jessica, even though she inadvertently revealed Trish's location on the news. She continues watching over Trish, but is called out by Detective Costa, allowing Trish to escape the hospital.

Warrior Woman

Warstar

Warstar is a warrior serving in the Royal Elite of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. The character, created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, first appeared in ''X-Men'' #137 (September 1980).

Warstar is actually two symbiotically linked sentient mechanoids, a small one named B'nee who can generate electricity and a large one named C’cil who is gigantic and immensely strong and durable. B'nee rides on C'cil's back.

Warstar joined in the Imperial Guard's trial by combat with the X-Men to decide the fate of the Phoenix. Warstar was then a traitor who served Lord Samedar, Deathbird, and the Brood in their conspiracy to overthrow Shi'ar Princess-Majestrix Lilandra, and battled the X-Men.''The Uncanny X-Men'' #157-158 (May–June 1982). After defeating the Brood and the renegades, Lilandra resumed her position as the head of the Shi'ar Empire. Despite most of the Imperial Guard having joined with Deathbird against Lilandra, the team members were pardoned for their actions.

Deathbird later assumed control of the Shi'ar empire, On her behalf, Warstar battled Ch'od of the Starjammers; he was defeated along with the other Imperial Guardsmen by the X-Men and Starjammers.

During ''Operation Galactic Storm'', Warstar fought Captain America in Arizona in an attempt to abduct Rick Jones. Warstar battled Captain America, Iron Man, and Wonder Man during the Kree-Shi'ar War. Warstar was defeated by Gilgamesh and She-Hulk.''Avengers West Coast'' #81 (April 1992). Incarcerated at Project Pegasus, Warstar comes into contact with fellow Guardsman Hobgoblin. Their teammates Nightside and Scintilla break into Pegasus and free Warstar and Hobogoblin. Hobgoblin impersonates the Kree geneticist Doctor Minerva, and induces the Kree Captain Atlas to accompany him aboard a Shi’ar ship, where the Kree are outnumbered by the Imperial Guard, who then claim Captain Marvel's Nega-Bands for themselves.

Years later, in the Maximum Security crossover, Warstar and fellow Guardsmen Hussar, Neutron, and Webwing were charged for their complicity in Deathbird's coup and sent to Earth, which had been turned into an intergalactic prison planet. The quartet joined with a rogue D'Bari in an attack on several X-Men, but were ultimately defeated. When the Maximum Security storyline resolved, all alien prisoners were removed from Earth, and Warstar, Hussar, and Neutron were later seen among the Imperial Guard again.

Warstar was ripped in half when the Guard fought for their new emperor Vulcan against the X-Men and Starjammers, but Warstar survived and were carried away by their fellow Guardsmen.

During the war between Vulcan's regime and the Inhuman-ruled Kree Empire, Warstar was seen menacing Nova Corps Centurions on the Kree planet Kaiphas, but was stopped by Nova Prime Richard Rider. Both B'nee and C'cil were apparently decapitated by the Nova Prime, with B'nee's head completely missing and C'cil's reduced to a smoking mass.

As a mechanoid symbiote, Warstar is difficult to actually kill, and he appears in a number of later Imperial Guard missions, including "Infinity," the "Trial of Jean Grey," "Time Runs Out," and the return of Thanos.
