List of Marvel Comics characters: S

Sabre
Sabre is a mutant super villain. His first appearance was in X-Men #106. Young and reckless, Sabre was chosen by Mystique to join her new Brotherhood of Mutants, though never actually participated in any missions. He had the mutant ability of super speed, and took the name of the deceased Super Sabre. It is unknown if he continues to serve Mystique behind the scenes, or if he even retains his powers after Decimation. Hyper-accelerated metabolism augments his natural speed, reflexes, coordination, endurance, and the healing properties of his body.

Sabreclaw
Sabreclaw, first seen in J2 #8, it is learned that he is half-brother to Wild Thing (Rina Logan) and thereby the son of Wolverine in the MC2 alternate universe. It is not known who Sabreclaw's mother is. Sabreclaw looks like a short version of Sabretooth, but with Wolverine's hair color. Sabreclaw has claws, or talons, similar to Sabretooth's claws, as well. He has a healing factor and enhanced physical capabilities basically similar to Wolverine's, and a violent temper to match. Sabreclaw inherited his father's healing factor, which rapidly regenerates damaged or destroyed areas of his cellular structure and affords him virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as enhanced resistance to diseases. He has superhuman strength and naturally sharp fangs and claws, and has reinforced his claws with adamantium sheaths.

Sack
Sack is a mutant supervillain created by Marvel Comics for their team called Gene Nation. His first appearance was in Uncanny X-Men #323. When the mentally unstable Mikhail Rasputin flooded the Morlock tunnels, many were believed dead.

In this dimension, time moves at a faster rate, and even though it was a manner of months in the main Marvel Universe, it had been between 10–20 years on the Hill. Sack is a being composed entirely of a gelatinous body that covers his skeleton. He is able to shift his liquid form to cover and control his host while virtually undetected. However, his form is not porous, causing his hosts to drown inside him. Because his body is not made of solid matter, he is resistant to injury.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius is the name of different characters in Marvel Comics.
 * Harlan Vargas is a founding member of the Zodiac, and his base of operations was Washington. The Zodiac Cartel was founded by Cornelius van Lunt (Taurus), handpicking the eleven other members; van Lunt concealed his own identity, while he was the only one who knew the identities of the others.

San is a member of the Inhumans and is an old friend of Alaris. He was also part of the delegation sent to Earth, which allowed him to attend human school at the University of South Alabama. There he dated a human girl named Stacey.

As an Inhuman, San grew up on Attilan, their home world on the moon. He believed that when he stepped into the gas, it would decide he should be a member of the Royal Guard, as his father and grandfather were (this belief was discouraged, as children usually did not try to decide on a career choice ahead of time, to save themselves disappointment). When he emerged from the gas however, he changed into a smaller, yellow-skinned creature who would be an artist. His disappointment was made greater when his friend, Alaris, turned into a member of the Royal Guard. As an artist, San could make beautiful sculptures. When Medusa decided to attempt to integrate the Inhumans back into Earth society, she handpicked several to spend at least a year there, including San and Alaris. On Earth, San faced discrimination for the way he looked. He got a job shelving books in a library and dated a girl named Stacey, deciding eventually that he wished to stay on Earth with her.

Saturnine is a demon and the Guardian of the Road of Lost Souls. He has a history with Zarathos; centuries ago he had spat upon Saturnine, thinking the demon beneath his notice. In time, his power increased. He was one of the entities set into the path of Johnny Blaze and Zarathos during an adventure they shared. His master, Asmodeus, had set the two on a race through hell, if they made it they would be separated forever. Saturnine, manifesting at a large size, shattered the bridge the two were on. The riders rode over his physical body. When attempting to attack his adversaries, he did not look where he leapt and impaled himself on a rocky outcropping.

However, Saturnine was eventually revealed to have survived, and had been left masterless when Mephisto destroyed Asmodeus. He sought to gain power by manipulating Pixie of the X-Men, but he was defeated when he impaled himself on a sword.

Several of the members of the Imperial Guard are at least partly based on members of the DC Comics' team Legion of Super-Heroes. (Dave Cockrum, co-creator of the Guard, also had a long run as artist on the Legion.) Scintilla appears to be an homage to LSH member Shrinking Violet.

Sikorsky resembles a very large dragonfly, or a very small helicopter. He is given the nickname Sikorsky by the Starjammer’s captain, Corsair for his resemblance to a Sikorsky helicopter. When he speaks, Sikorksy's words are usually captioned in a square box instead of a rounded word balloon, a technique that indicates an artificial or robotic voice. Whether this is because Sikorksy is somehow robotic in nature or simply requires advanced technology to communicate with other life forms has never been clarified.

Sikorsky can fly, can mentally scan the interiors of living beings’ bodies, and has high empathic ability. He has mastered medical science far more advanced than that of Earth. For example, he is responsible for moving Professor X's mind from a ravaged body into a freshly cloned, healthy one that could also walk.

Prior to the events of Planet Hulk, Lavin Skee was the bodyguard and lover of Elloe Kaifi, the daughter of Ronan Kaia, a member of a high-ranking family on the planet Sakaar. Although deeply loyal to the Empire ever since his grandfather was made a high-ranking imperial, Skee lost his titles when the Red King removed all high-ranking officials from the army and replaced them with Death's Head robots. This was to prevent chances of revolution. Outraged at this demotion, Skee quit the guards and became a mercenary. He was hired by Ronan Kaifi, a high noble and vocal critic of the emperor's court, to serve as his personal bodyguard, developing an almost brotherly relationship with Kaifi's daughter Elloe. Eventually, however, Ronan Kaifi's objections became too loud to be ignored, resulting in his titles being stripped from him and he, Elloe and Lavin being sent to the gladiator training school, the Maw. When Ronan protested at this treatment, he was killed by the guards. Shortly after, the training battle began, where Elloe and Lavin were two of the seven survivors. All still standing became a team that must now work together in future battles. Skee undertook training Elloe in the finer points of battle, and she became a skilled student.

Shortly after this, during the group's next match against a mass of Death's Head robots, Skee was mortally wounded when an Imperial Dreadnought dropped a bomb into the middle of the arena. Despite his injuries and a missing arm, he continued to fight on, helping his side to victory.

While standing over his body, Hiroim the Shamed, one of the original survivors, proposed that the other members of the gladiator team formed a Warbound pact in Skee's memory. This is a promise for all members of the pact to support each other to the death. Later on, having been ordered to kill Elloe — a violation of the Warbound oath, since Skee had once served her — the Warbound broke free. They are assisted in this by the Hulk's old friend the Silver Surfer, who had also been captured and forced to fight in the gladitorial games. The Warbound then began a revolution against the Red King.

When the X-Men came to "the Slash" in search of Debra Levin, who had been taken captive while investigating the club, Ransome Sole had Sketch create tendrils around the chair in which Levin was strapped, and Cable, Phoenix and Gambit were all quickly taken prisoner.

When Storm was turned over to Ransome Sole by Simyon Kurasov, Sketch was instructed to ensnare her and the other X-Men inside of metal shells while he auctioned them off as slaves to Tullamore Voge and the Shockwave Riders. However, the "Storm" Kurasov had given Ransome was a robot decoy, and when the real Storm attacked, Sketch quickly released the other X-Men to help her. Revenant threatened Sketch, but Phoenix defended Sketch. Ultimately, Sketch's captors were all either defeated or fled, and she was set free.

Sketch has the mutant ability to reshape reality by altering it upon her sketchpad; she can only affect non-organic matter with this power, fashioning metallic tendrils and metallic sheaths. She needs to be able to see an object in order to affect it. Sketch carries bags full of sketchpads and pencils with her at all times.

Slick was freed from Cassandra's control by the Stepford Cuckoos.

While studying at the Institute, Slick began a romantic relationship with fellow student Tattoo. He did not get along well with Quentin Quire, who would become known as Kid Omega. After hearing about the death of the mutant fashion designer Jumbo Carnation, Slick decided to write a song in tribute to him. While practicing some lyrics with Tattoo, Slick was confronted by Quire.

Slick was one of many mutants who lost their powers after the event known as M-Day.

Slick had a form of telepathic charisma which enabled him to communicate psionically, naturally draw attention and respect, and cast illusory self-images around himself.

Alec was also one of the first recruits to join The Flight, a precursor to Alpha Flight, and in their first mission, they stopped the terrorist known as Egghead from launching a thermonuclear missile at the United States. Later, after Hudson divided the team into three smaller groups, Thorne (as Smart Alec) began training in Gamma Flight. Later, the members of Gamma Flight were contacted by Jerry Jaxon to join Omega Flight in his bid for vengeance against Hudson. During the fight, Smart Alec was defeated when he looked in Shaman's magical medicine bag; the resulting mental shock shut down his mind, allowing Shaman to shrink him down to miniature size and stick him in the bag.

Snowbird was later forced to kill Sasquatch to vanquish the Great Beast, Tanaraq, who co-inhabited his body. This left Walter Langkowski mind to roam freely. Langowski's mind eventually entered Thorne's tiny body in an attempt to return to the human world. Thorne's body was finally killed when Langkowski merged his mind into the Box robot to defeat Pestilence, whose freed mind had inhabited the body of Snowbird (who was in the form of Sasquatch at the time), before Langkowski took over the Sasquatch body.

Thorne invented, and wore an encephala-helmet, which was used to increase his already super-genius intelligence level.

The Priests traded the information of the creature's sole weakness to the Kree Supreme Intelligence in exchange for freedom from their prison planet to prepare to fight the Star Stalker again. The Priests split up, taking their secret allies the Cotati away from Hala with them.

Years later on Earth, the Priests of Pama there were killed by a Vietnamese criminal named Khruul. The Star-Stalker sensed this and traveled to Earth and killed Khruul as well.

The military found them, and after a skirmish the mutants teleported away using Darkstar's powers. They sought out the Underground Mutant Safe-System on the Black Sea, to convince them to abandon the safehouse system, but Firefox found the safehouse. Firefox and his men killed all of their mutant allies until Vanguard finally defeated Firefox.
