Whisper Hill[]
Whisper Hill is an old Victorian style mansion located in the Adirondack Mountains. It is the home of the aging witch known as Agatha Harkness, and her feline familiar, Ebony. Like Harkness herself, the house is mysterious and arcane and possesses innate mystical properties. The Frightful Four learned this to their utter dismay when they foolishly tried to attack the Fantastic Four at the house while they were visiting Harkness. Agatha spent some time as babysitter to Franklin Richards - son of Reed and Susan Richards. Franklin spent a great deal of his infancy at the house.
Whizzer[]
Robert Frank was a costumed superhero from the 1940s who called himself the Whizzer. As a child, Frank was bitten by a cobra, but his father managed to save him by injecting him with a formula made of mongoose blood. This serum caused Robert Frank to develop superhuman speed. As the Whizzer, Robert Frank adventured with the Liberty Legion and became romantically attached to Madeline Joyce, aka Miss America, whom he later married. Like many heroes of his era, Robert Frank went into partial retirement following World War II. Years later, Robert and Madeline had a son, Robert Frank, Jr., who became crazed villain called Nuklo. In the twilight of his years, Robert Frank suited up one final time to save his son from the nuclear radiation that was slowly killing him. Absorbing lethal amounts of nuclear radiation himself, Robert Frank had a heart attack and died.

Wladyslav Shinski was a scientist and a member of the Enclave. He was partially responsible for the creation of an artificial human being that they dubbed "Him". Him revolted against the Enclave and eventually evolved into the god-like being known as Adam Warlock.
