Sexy Mercenary

Written by Kal-El

Ever heard of the name Silver Sablinovia, or Better yet, Remember the name Silver Sable? She was a female mercenary, a hunter if war criminals, the leader of the Wild Pack, and CEO of Silver Sable International. Though a legitimate mercernary, her methods and motives have sometimes brought her into conflict with other superheroes. Read on as she's our Origin focus of the week.

The operations of Wild Pack and Silver Sable International drive the national economy of the fictional small European state of Symkaria. The name 'Wild Pack' had been used by the mercenary squad led by Sable for some time, until a legal notice forced them to change it to 'Six Pack'.The State of Symkaria is adjacent to Latveria, the nation that is ruled by Doctor Doom. Silver Sable and Victor Von Doom have an annual diplomatic dinner at Castle Doom, situated in Doomstadt. Apparently the friendship between these two states is deep-rooted and dates back to World War II.

The family of Silver Sable is composed of her father, Ernst Sablinova, her uncle Morty, and a young cousin, Anna. Silver's mother was killed by enemies of her father, who ran a Nazi-hunting group. Silver was married to the Foreigner, an international assassin and the head of the 1400 Club, but they “divorced” when she discovered his real work. Their relation today isn't completely clear, sometimes they treat one another as friends, sometimes they tolerate the presence of the other, sometimes they try to kill each other.

Uncle Morty functions as Sable's assistant. He organizes the missions, keeps track of the accounting part and many times tries to remind Sable to retain her focus and sense of judgement. Silver supports Anna's boarding school education and seemingly nothing more. Her feelings were betrayed when Hydra agents took over the school and killed Anna's best friend. Sable infiltrated the school, rescuing the survivors with the unwanted aid of Spider-man and the aid of some of her troops, against orders.

Silver has collaborated with various superheroes, including the aforementioned Spider-Man, the Punisher, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Venom, Captain America, Deadpool, and many others. Sandman, a reformed Spider-Man villain, was a mercenary for the Silver Sable International for a long time, heading the Intruders, the squad of superpowered mercenaries in the employ of the Silver Sable International. Other heroes and reformed minor villains work for Silver Sable International on occasion.

Like her father, Sable's squad focuses on bringing Nazi war criminals to justice, though they have taken on many other types of missions. Her group is loyal to a fault, often flagrantly disobeying orders if they believe it is for the greater good.

Sable's relationship with Doctor Doom would prove almost-fatal as the annual dinner happened to fall on the time when Doctor Doom's castle had been over-taken by an alien impersonator during the Infinity War crisis. The double did look different, something Sable put down to Doom's desires to change his look. During the dinner, Sable's driver is killed by Doom's robots and a human butler is killed by the Doom double. Sable protests the brutallity and is attacked herself, leading to a chase throughout the castle. Again defying her, her soldiers came to rescue her, despite Sandman himself also having been replaced.

[Ultimate Silver Sable]

In the Ultimate Marvel Universe, Silver Sable is a mercenary from Symkaria. Although she made her original appearance in the Ultimate Spider-Man game, she has appeared as the central villain in a recent story arc. She leads a mercenary organization known as the Wild Pack, and is skilled enough to best Peter in hand to hand combat. She had a troubled childhood, apparently ignored by her father and abused by her alcoholic mother. In reality, her father hunted Nazis, and she forgave him at his deathbed and decided to follow in his footsteps. While she has, so far, only appeared as an antagonist to Spider-Man, she is not actually a villain so much as a bounty hunter, and she holds no particular ill-will towards Spidey. She isn't necessarily a good person either, though, as in the Spider-Man game she threatened Peter Parker's family as a means of getting Peter to work with her to control Venom. Never having been told her real name, Spider-Man jokingly calls her "Crazy Lady" and, in the game, "Crazy Silver Hottie".

Silver Sable also appeared in two episodes of MTV's Spider-Man: The New Animated Series in 2003 and was voiced by Virginia Madsen. In "Spider-Man Dis-Sabled," Spider-Man encounters Sable attempting to assassinate the mayor of New York City and a European Union Guest. As it turns out, the European Union Guest is really an undercover assassin planning to kill the president when he gets the chance. When Silver Sable discovers that Peter Parker (Spider-Man) had caught her on surveillance when she had attempted to kill the European, she attacks Peter's apartment and kidnaps Mary Jane Watson, Harry Osborn and Indy. Peter later discovers that Silver Sable is also posing as the mayor's assistant, but before he can stop her from kidnapping the mayor and The European, he first has to save his friends, which gives her time to get away. Spider-Man eventually catches up to her, though, and the two have a final showdown on top of the mayor's limo. It ends with the limo crashing off the Brooklyn Bridge. Spider-Man saves the limo before it hits the water, but Silver Sable falls off and apparently drowns.

Sable later made her last appearance in Mind Games: Part One in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series. She joined Kraven the Hunter who wanted to kill Spider-Man when the super hero put the criminal in a Gulag. Sable was then caught by Spider-Man in a confrontation between Spider-Man and Kraven and Sable and she was taken to jail. But in the process, she told Kraven "There are other ways to get revenge on Spider-Man." Kraven used this information and killed Mary Jane Watson. However, this appearance of Sable was fake as it was merely a false scheme by the Gaines Twins when they hypnotized Spider-Man into thinking Kraven killed Mary Jane so Spider-Man can kill Kraven (they have grudge against Kraven when he killed their parents in the past). Be Sure to see this season 1 finale episode.

Well so the story ends here or shall i say goes on from here, Silver Sable could still be lurking around on high sky-scrappers, looking thru her bionicles, eyeing out on you, so becarefull out there true believers, Especially during this coming holidays. Stay Tune for more.
