Quote1 The power's gone. My father's gone. Without him, his empire will crumble. The world as I've always known it is finished. This was not one of our more successful capers. You got too greedy, Daddy, wanting the power of a god all for yourself. You should've known, you can't take the world in a day. You've got to do it the old-fashioned way... One golden bullet at a time. So begins... the New Midas Empire. Quote2
Exterminatrix[src]

History

Origin[]

Her father was the opportunist Doctor Midas who converted her mother into a "chemical hot-house of information-rich toxins", accelerating her development in-utero.[2]

Raised into a perfect environment with an oxygen-rich atmosphere in order to enhance her brain growth and her longevity, she was taught by Midas to kill every kind of being.[2] She claimed to have hunted and killed vampires, space monsters, and Greek gods,[3] and aliens,[2] among others.

Over the years, Oubliette was forced to wear a mask, as her father had told her she was scarred and disfigured (which wasn't true, except for a small scar on the left cheek).[2]

Meeting Marvel Boy[]

Oubliette unmasked

At some time, the Midas Foundation intercepted a Kree Spaceship crew from an alternate reality. All were killed except for Noh-Varr, who was able to escape.[4] Oubliette was sent to capture or kill him, but instead teamed-up with him against her father.[3] Soon, she befriended him and he made her discover that she wasn't disfigured after all.[2]

The duo battled a Mindless One, one of Doctor Midas' weapons, and defeated it, before turning it against Midas, who was newly further mutated into the Cosmic Man. He was seemingly killed but in reality was sent to the Subwhere, a dimension full of Mindless Ones.[5]

Cosmic Jihad & Incarceration[]

While Noh-Varr was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. and transferred to the Cube, Oubliette tried to raise the Cosmic Jihad, spreading his words to the world. She attacked Disneyland and transmitted videos to the world. A Cosmic Jihad internet group even gathered, but was seemingly dismissed by the US Government[5]

Tracked by S.H.I.E.L.D. telepaths,[5] Oubliette was eventually captured and imprisoned[6] in the Raft. Oubliette was targeted among others superhuman females by the Puppet Master, but his mind-controlled Chilean soldiers were stopped by S.H.I.E.L.D. guards, and the kidnapping failed.[7]

Original Sin[]

When the Orb contacted Midas into helping him rob the Watcher's citadel, the Exterminatrix accompanied them, and also got hold of one of the eyes of the Watcher.[8] The eye's influence caused numerous Mindless Ones in possession of the Orb to radically change, develop thoughts, and evolve. After one of the Mindless Ones escaped the Orb's lair and committed suicide following a battle against the Avengers, the heroes began investigating the connection between the Mindless One's behavior and the death of Uatu, who had died shortly after the assault on his base.[9]

When The Orb, Exterminatrix, and Midas were finally pinned down, she fought numerous heroes until her defeat. The Orb then revealed himself and activated the eye, unleashing the secrets of the Watcher.[10] In the confusion created by the blast, the Exterminatrix and Midas escaped.[11] They then activated a spaceship hidden in a secret location to get back to the Moon and get more from the Watcher's base.[12]

Once on the Moon, the Exterminatrix felt how the ambience of the citadel was slowly making them more powerful but also killing them. Oubliette decided to leave her father behind and return to Earth.[13]

Confronting Dario Agger[]

As the sole owner of Midas Foundation, Exterminatrix went to the Universal Bank, where the richest people met to discuss relevant matters to the world. The heads of various companies had came from across the globe to discuss Dario Agger and Roxxon's operations in the Ten Realms, which he had kept a secret from them. Exterminatrix arrived and quickly disposed of Agger's agents as they raced to back up their boss. Afterwards, Exterminatrix knocked Dario Agger out and declared herself a new member of the meeting.[14]

Judgment Day[]

During the events of Judgment Day Exterminatrix posed as a newly hired employee in the Baxter Building to infiltrate it, after hacking Roberta she brought into the building several mercenaries and Mindless Ones and raised a security force field to isolate the building and lock out the Human Torch, meanwhile the Mindless Ones attacked the Thing and caused a portion of the building to collapse on him. Left alone with Invisible Woman she revealed her plan: to steal Mister Fantastic's brain.[1]

She then tried to get rid of Invisible Woman by dispatching Space Boy, a clone of Marvel Boy, who after a brief battle was outsmarted and defeated by Sue who attacked him with the severed head of a Mindless One. Desperate to get what she wanted Exterminatrix threatened to kill some hostages to force Invisible Woman's surrender, who actually tricked Exterminatrix into letting her activate the H.E.R.B.I.E.s' security protocols. Exterminatrix wounded Invisible Woman in the fight and as she was ready to execute her she was interrupted by the Human Torch who had managed to break through the force field and the Thing who had been freed from the rubble. Sue analyzed a sample of Exterminatrix's blood and compared it to her father's, proving that they were not related, as his experiments with Cosmic Radiation had made him sterile. Devastated by the discovery Oubliette collapsed on the floor and started to cry telling them that all she did was because she just wanted to be seen by her father but Sue hugged her and consoled her, telling her that no one deserved to feel invisible.[15]
