Nightshade (Tilda Johnson), formerly known as Dr. Nightshade and Deadly Nightshade is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. She first appeared in ''Captain America'' #164 and was created by Steve Englehart and Alan Lee Weiss. ==Fictional character biography== Tilda Johnson was born into poverty in New York City. At an early age, she discovered that she had a natural aptitude for science. As a teenager, she used her extensive knowledge to begin a career as a criminal scientist. The Yellow Claw helped her develop a method for turning normal humans into obedient werewolf-like creatures, and attempted to transform convicts into a werewolf army, but the pair were defeated by Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D.〔''Captain America and the Falcon'' #164〕 She later took control of a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, and used pheromones to force Captain America to battle the Falcon, but was defeated.〔''Captain America and the Falcon'' #189-190〕 Nightshade used robots to take over the Harlem protection rackets, but was defeated by Power Man and Iron Fist.〔''Power Man and Iron Fist'' #51-53〕 She later worked with the criminals Stiletto, Discus, Man Mountain Marko, and the Eel in an attempt to rob a debutante's ball, but they were defeated and captured by Power Man and Iron Fist.〔''Power Man and Iron Fist'' #110〕 She later sought to make the Hulk her pawn, but wound up fighting Power Man, Iron Fist, and Machine Man, and was imprisoned again.〔''Marvel Team-Up Annual'' #3〕 Nightshade later appeared as second-in-command of Superia's Femizons. She helped develop a serum to transform men into women which she used on Captain America and Paladin. She also helped Superia develop her sterilization bomb.〔''Captain America'' #389-391〕 She was also involved in a scheme with Dredmund Druid, though as a double agent for Superia. She used a serum to transform Captain America and the ordinary people of Starkesboro, Massachusetts into pseudo-werewolves. She is famous in both comic-book reading circles and supervillains for having turned Captain America into a werewolf known as "Cap Wolf" for a brief period of time.〔''Captain America'' #403-408〕 Nightshade joined MODOK's 11, with the main objective of stealing the powerful Hypernova. It has been revealed after her last battle against the Black Panther, she tried to start her life over without crime. However, as she was self-taught and had no official degrees - the only medical job she could get was as a receptionist at a hospital. After she pointed out a mistake by one of the doctors, she was fired immediately and contemplated suicide, until MODOK contacted her and hired her for the heist. She'd "used up all my second chances" and couldn't afford to turn MODOK down.〔''MODOK's 11'' #3〕 She developed a friendship with her team-mates Armadillo and Puma, and showed this strongly when backing up Puma in saving the Living Laser's life (and secretly giving him his Puma powers back through her "werewolf serum"). The three of them were the only villains to remain loyal to MODOK and get their cash (with a bonus); they appear to be sticking together, and she's offered to help Puma with his legal defense.〔''MODOK's 11'' #5〕 During the ''Shadowland'' storyline, Nightshade organized the Flashmob (a group of former Luke Cage enemies consisting of Chemistro III, Cheshire Cat, Commanche, Dontrell "Cockroach" Hamilton, Mr. Fish II, and Spear) in order to take on the new Power Man, Victor Alvarez. Although the Flashmob was defeated and incarcerated at Ryker's Island, Nightshade's solicitor Mr. Donovan mentions that he has plans to have them released from Ryker's Island.〔''Shadowland: Power Man'' #2〕 During the ''Spider-Island'' storyline, Nightshade is among the villains that have been infected by the bedbugs that bestowed spider powers on her. She alongside Chemistro III, Mr. Fish II, and Spear ended up fighting Heroes for Hire.〔''Spider-Island: Heroes for Hire'' #1〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nightshade (Marvel Comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
