Gwenny Lou Sabuki[edit]

Gwendolyne “Gwenny” Lou Sabuki was the second Golden Girl introduced by Marvel. She made her first appearance in 1978, but her World War II-era character predates the post-war Golden Girl, Betsy Ross. Created by writer Roy Thomas and penciller Frank Robbins in the Retcon series The Invaders #26 (March 1978), she had appeared, sans power, as Gwenny Lou. She gained her powers in the following issue, #27 (April 1978), and went on to appear as the Golden Girl in #28 (May 1978) and #38 (March 1979). A flashback story featuring her as one of the Kid Commandos is in All-New Invaders #6–7.

During World War II, teenaged Gwenny Lou Sabuki, daughter of Japanese American scientist Sam Sabuki, was present at a stateside battle in which sidekicks Bucky and Toro of the Invaders superhero team fought the supervillain Agent Axis. One of Dr. Sabuki’s inventions accidentally gave Gwenny Lou and her friend David “Davey” Mitchell superhuman powers. Gwenny Lou gained the power to generate light and energy and the ability to project golden force beams from her hands. Mitchell gained the ability to spin at superhuman speeds. She became Golden Girl, and he became the Human Top.^[2] The four youthful heroes defeated Agent Axis and later formed the Kid Commandos, who were allied with the adult Invaders.^{[volume & issue needed]}

In one incident, the Kid Commandos also fought the Invaders because they disagreed with the military’s use of a Tsunami Bomb, which would have caused too much collateral damage. The bomb was never used because the Invaders saw the testing site was populated with civilians.^[3]

Gwenny Lou later helped found the post-war organization known as the V-Battalion. Gwenny eventually changed her superhero name to Golden Woman before she died in 1961. Her son and her granddaughter became the superheroes Golden Sun and Goldfire, respectively, although Golden Sun died when his own daughter was five years old.^[4] Another of Gwenny Lou’s granddaughters eventually became the Japanese heroine, Radiance.^[5]

Savage Steel[edit]

Savage Steel is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Disillusioned by the justice system and what they viewed as its lenient stance on crime, a number of New York City Police Department officers came together to form an organization that would kill criminals, rather than simply jailing them. Calling themselves the “Cabal,” the group commissioned Stane International to give them an edge in their crusade. Stane’s company designed and manufactured a suit of powered armor, the “Savage Steel” battle-suit, based on technology stolen from Stark Enterprises. Different members of the Cabal all took turns wearing the suit, including Paul Trent and former members Harry Lennox, Johnny Leone, and Jimmy Zafar. Savage Steel was first seen battling Darkhawk and killed some drug dealers.^[10] Savage Steel then tried to kill the Punisher, battled the Punisher, Darkhawk, and weapons dealers.^[11] Savage Steel attacked Phillippe Bazin during his trial, and was revealed as Harry Lennox.^[12] The Cabal’s creation of the Savage Steel identity is discovered. Darkhawk defeats the Cabal and most, but not all, of its members are taken into custody.^[13]

Police van driver Arthur Vale then steals the Savage Steel armor and adopts the Savage Steel identity. Vale attempted to gain new weaponry but was defeated by Iron Man, who regains and deactivates his stolen…
