Distingushing Features: Typhoid wears white make-up on the right side of her face.  

Superhuman Powers: Typhoid possesses limited telekinetic powers that enable her to levitate small objects (up to approximately 10 pounds) over short distances. She possesses pyrokinesis, enabling her to set objects in her immediate vicinity aflame. Typhoid can also implant mental suggestions in the mind of an unsuspecting individual. She can mentally induce human beings of low intelligence or animals to fall asleep.

In her Mary persona she usually cannot access any of theses abilities. Typhoid is able to manipulate Mary to some extent. Bloody Mary possesses the full range of Typhoid's powers.

Typhoid's heartbeat rate, alpha waves, electroencephalograhic patterns, biorhythms, and even her scent are different in each of her persona. As Typhoid she runs a continual fever. For unknown reasons (perhaps psychic interference), Daredevil cannot get a clear image of her as Typhoid with his radar sense, nor is he able to follow her heartbeat clearly.

Plus she discovered a new ability that is called "The Kiss of Death". Either by actual physical kissing, touch or to even to blow a kiss in the direction of her victim, induces a reaction within minutes. The victim becomes extremely to deathly ill. This ability she can use at will and not one she uses except for "special occasions."

Abilities: Typhoid has exceptional, though not superhuman, physical abilities (strength, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes), and she is highly formidable hand-to-hand combatant. She has some training in judo and has exceptional skill in wielding and throwing bladed weapons.

While Mary is timid, pleasant, and helpful, Typhoid is aggressive, lusty, and violent. The Bloody Mary Persona is the most violent of them all, possessing none of Typhoid's sexual lust, just a savage desire to slay and punish men. Her seldom seen Mary Walker persona seems to be a rational amalgam of her other three personae.

Weapons: Typhoid Mary is in excellent physical condition. She has peak human reflexes and agility, and is highly athletic. She is also trained in the martial arts, particularly Judo and Zen-Sword. She is a master in the use of edged weapons. She normally carries two machetes and a variety of small blades. As Bloody Mary, she typically uses her telekinesis to shield her body with various scraps of metal.

Weaknesses: Typhoid suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder or Split Personality), and her differing personalities sometime struggle for dominance or oppose each other. Mary has a form of epilepsy, causing intermittent seizures.

History

As Typhoid, Walker managed to escape her confinement and elude authorties. Eventually, Mary emerged as a successful stage actress, but she suddenly vanished, resurfacing in New York City as a prostitute named Lyla. One night, a masked Matt Murdock entered her brothel, attacking a customer involved with his father's killers. Believeing Murdock to be a police officer, the prostitutes attacked him. He panicked and lashed out, accidentally pushing Lyla through a window to the streets below. Mary survived the fall and swore never to be hurt by a man again.  

The fall changed Typhoid, even as she repressed the memory, she became increasingly violent toward men. She started a new career in Chicago as a master thief and blackmailer. At some point, she encountered and romanced the mercenary T-Ray for months in Belize, though they parted harshly. Subsequently, she came to Hell's Kitchen were she began wrecking gambling dens, destroying drug houses, and killing criminals. All of these operations were part of the Kingpin's empire, and her actions attracted the crime lord's attention. Impressed by her abilites, the Kingpin paid her one million dollars to launch a campaign of emotional warfare against Daredevil, revealing him to be Murdock as well.

The innocent Mary attracted the attentions of Murdock while Typhoid began to assault Daredevil. As Murdock's attraction to Mary grew, the Kingpin correctly suspected that Mary genuinely loved Murdock. Attracted to Mary himself, the jealous Kingpin ordered her to break Murdock's heart by revealing she was also Typhoid. However, Typhoid realized the Kingpin was right about Mary, and that Mary was growing stronger. To maintain control and to punish Mary, Typhoid recruited Ammo, Bullet, Bushwhacker, and the Wild Boys (Jet and Spit) to kill Daredevil. With the group Typhoid delievered a series of beatings that left Daredevil nearly dead. Mary, however, asserted her personality and brought Murdock to a hospital, which saved his life.

 

Daredevil recovered, but was badly disillusioned and left New York, while Mary became the Kingpin's chief assassin and lover. During this time, she encountered the monstrous Lifeform, narrowly surviving the experience. A Dr. Doom robot employed her to destroy the youthful adventurers Power Pack, but she merely used her powers to torment them. She stood by the Kingpin during the power struggle between the Kingpin and the Red Skull (Johann Schmidt). When Daredevil returned to New York, he began an assault against the Kingpin. Daredevil seduced Typhoid, deliberately driving her into the Mary persona, then left her to be taken to a psychiatric institiution.

Escaping, Mary was sought out by Wolverine, who suspected connections between her and the psychic surgery facility known as the Project (a.k.a. the Fortress), which created sleeper agents for the U.S. government. As they investigated, Mary sought to have them cure her of her dual personae, but Wolverine had to save her from sabotage and murder by immoral Project agents; she returned to Typhoid's perona before fleeing. Using medications to control her emotions, Mary worked with the Women's Action Movement and was present at a mall in upstate New York when it was assaulted by the demon Dusk. With the aid of the Ghost Rider (Dan Ketch), Typhoid drove off Dusk, though she literally entered his Realm of Madness in the process.

Returning to an institution, Mary was again recruited by Wolverine. The two were joined by Daredevil, Vengeance (Michael Badalino), and the Fortress's own agent Steel Raven in freeing the young metamorph/empath Jessie from the Fortress before they could perform psychic surgery on him. In the process, the Fortress had captured Typhoid and their psychic experimentation unleashed a third, more violent persona known as Bloody Mary. With Jessie's help, she also developed a fourth persona, Mary Walker, a seeming amalgam of her other three personae.

Still attempting pharmacologic regulation of her persona, she begain tracking down men with a history of abusing women. As Typhoid, she located and attracted the men, then slaughtered them as Bloody Mary. She attracted the attention of Spider-Man, who opposed her in both of her personae. Spider-Man talked her down and convinced Mary Walker to admit herself to the Ravencroft Institute for Insane superhumans.

Mary Walker was released into a halfway house where she began work as a private detective. She investigated the Westside Ripper, who actually turned out to be three sepearate people who were killing porstitutes. In the process she was captured and studied by a pair of would-be psychotherapists and film-makers, Quince Taranova and Trent, who had learned of her via a recording of her previous therapy given to them by an unethical doctor. Escaping the pair, Typhoid learned that Quince's mother was one of the killers, seeking vengeance on the prostitutes her husband visited. Typhoid excuted the othe two killers-Officer Racette and Detective Richards - but could not bring herself to kill a woman.

Back in another instititution, Typhoid's persona became dominant again and she contacted the mercenary Deadpool, hiring him to break her out. Deadpool and Typhoid later struggled and he kicked her through a window, rekindling memories of her previous trauma in the brothel. She confronted Daredevil, seeking vengeance as well as revealing their common past to him. Though regretful of his past actions, Daredevil fought back and subdued her. Deadpool took Typhoid away, but she then went on a killing spree that Deadpool was forced to stop. Typhoid then tormented and seduced Deadpool by posing as the mutant Siryn, with whom Deadpool was infatutated.

Typhoid continued to work as a mercenary, but her Mary persona took over again, retaining control via hypnotherapy and other means. Mary returned to her acting career, both in theatre and in a television soap opera, returing as Typhoid only long enough to attend Deadpool's funeral (though he later revived). Eventually, the Kingpin, reclaiming his lost empire, violently confronted Mary and brought Typhoid back to the surface. He sent her to kill Murdock, but with the aid of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, Daredevil defeated her once again.

Electro later led an attack on the Raft, helping the prisoners break out. While the Avengers came on the scene and managed to stop some of the prisoners, Mary was one of the ones that managed to escape.

To which, at some point, she had joined up with The Hand. This part of her life is shrouded in mystery. The Hand had been watching her even when she had gone up against them. During her time among them, Typhoid even in her drab Mary Walker persona, was able to strengthen her body more. But Typhoid made certain that Mary's mind would not get stronger to oust her as the dominant persona. Typhoid also discovered she had a "sleeper" ability. One that she nicked named "Kiss of Death". The ability to make those around her deathly ill through either a physical kiss or one blown. Only one person had died from this, an experiment to test her limits. The Hand exploited this new ability of her's and for a time, she reveled in their coddling of her. But time changes everything and once more, Typhoid was on her own to do as she pleased.

Fast forward a of couple years, and she returns to New York upon hearing that the Kingpin has been put behind bars, by Daredevil himself. Daredevil even being so bold as to take up the mantle of the Kingpin even and chasing most of the criminals out of Hell's Kitchen. But that would not deter Typhoid from seeking revenge still. She seduced a young mutant, named Jason Allison, whose own interesting abilites suited her rather well for her purposes. Even as Matt Murdock fled the United States with his current lover, Typhoid began to make moves in on the seemingly abandoned territory. She had a plan to put into effect and others to recruit.

It remains to be seen where Typhoid will turn up next, as well as whom she will plague, or even who she will be.
