D is for December 2008! The Super Duper D-List Month thread!

Someone needs to do something with Gyspy Moth. Putting her on a new T-Bolts during Dark Reign would be nice. Seeing Slott & Gage have her in Avengers: The Initiative would be awesome, as well. She's wicked, and been drug-addled before, and is bisexual. I mean, how is this girl NOT being used in San Francisco with the X-Men, too? She and Karma could have a fun relationship that goes sour when she reveals she wants men, too! Do something with her, Marvel, damn you!

Co-signed! Damn I loved all of Drew's villains in the old series. And Gypsy Moth not appearing in X-Men really sucks.

I think Gypsy Moth is the first of the D-Listers that I out-and-out love. I am horrified by her hideous costume change. That titwear is ridiculous. When I am done with the D-Legion and I've gotten nudies from Mr Cakes I may do a Gypsy Moth redesign.

All I know is, if Beast and Cecilia Reyes end up together, I hope they don't have the wedding, or the relationship written by... I shall speak not the name, but he misses that certain chemistry the two had.

The Cecilia-centric issue with Daredevil (he goes to her instead of the Night Nurse! Scandalous!) and Pyro is one of Lobdell's best.

There's hope now for Cece yet. She isn't dead and she hates Trish Tilby!

my favorite part of doing the research on Gypsy Moth was that it seems in the 1970s all female superheros/villains were hanging out in cocktail parties. and of course there was her fetish for trying to drown folks in the pool.

ZOMG.... I have that issue !

#17 Gypsy Moth
Real Name: Sybil Dvorak
First appearance: Spider-Woman #10
Last appearance: Thunderbolts #75
Powers: Sybil is a telekinetic. She prefers to work almost exclusively with fabrics. She can also levitate and usually has a set of wings that she created that augments her mutant powers and allow for flight.
Status: Confirmed Powered – Work it Baby!
Creator: Mark Gruenwald and Carmine Infantino



Bio:

Sybil Dvorak was raised by gypsies in the town of Foscani, Romania. She spent most of her time alone tending to her gardens and mastering her mutant abilities. It was here in relative obscurity that she developed her fetish for telekinetically manipulating fabrics. She created wings for herself as delicate and soft as her beautiful supple skin (LOL with the Harlequin Romance angle).

Her quiet life was turned upside down when HUGE movie star Jason Reed came to her sleepy little villa to film a remake of the Dracula movie. He romanced and then seduced little naïve Sybil and brought her back to sunny California. They married shortly after their resettling, but she was a duck out of water and Jason was always away "Filming". So suspicious that Jason was tricking it on the side, Sybil did what any sensible girl would do in this situation. She created herself a costume and started attacking dinner parties. Yep. You read that right. She was convinced that she'd find her stray husband diddling a party guest. Yep. I said diddling. During one of these parties, Sybil ran into Jessica Drew, AKA Spider-Woman. Jessica changed into her costume real quick like, and the two fought. Gypsy Moth turned Jessica's costume against her binding her encased in her own outfit and tried to drown her in a swimming pool. Jessica managed to break free, but instead of turning Gypsy Moth in to authorities decided that they were gal pals and that Gypsy Moth and her had lots in common. Yep, I am not making this up.



Soon after her encounter with Spider-Woman, Jason Reed died of a mysterious blood clot in his heart. Sybil inherited everything and used her new riches and fortune to create a drug empire and a cult based on worshipping her beauty. LOLZ. I love this Bio! She created an identity named Sybarite to run her cult. She encouraged her followers to begin stealing for her. Jessica Drew began investigating the thefts and it led her to the mysterious Sybarite. She again went to a dinner party, which she knew Sybarite was hosting and was promptly drugged. She awoke to Gypsy Moth AKA Sybarite who promptly tried to drown her again. It was a thing. What can I say. Jessica escapes but before fighting, appeals to Gypsy Moth's conscience. Gypsy says she doesn't have one! Jessica has to save a cracked out friend and when she turns around Gypsy Moth is gone.

Soon after, Gypsy Moth gets kidnapped by Tick-Tock and Locksmith who used some high tech device to nullify her powers. The duo kidnapped Jessica Drew and Tigra as well. Jessica devises a scheme that MacGuyver would have been proud of and they all break free. Gypsy uses her powers on the villains to tie them up and leaves them to the police. Is our crazy mutie sociopath growing a heart? Or were there no swimming pools to throw them into? We'll never know.



Gypsy Moth did some time as a member of the Night Shift, Shroud's group of villains and tangled with Power Broker and The West Coast Avengers. She left the Night Shift for some work for hire under Crimson Cowl's Master's of Evil. When she found out that Justine Hammer, AKA Crimson Cowl, had laced all of her henchmen/women with a bio toxin, she joined Hawkeye's Thunderbolts and fought the the Cowl's Master's of Evil. She took down the Cowl by unraveling her weapon. She also changed her name to Skein and said she was a Thunderbolt for the "kicks". *hey!* When the original Thunderbolts returned, she decided to leave the team, stating that she'd only stayed with the team to try and seduce the female member Songbird. WTF? Alright for Bisexuality! When she realized that Songbird wasn't into the dirty leg, she left for greener pastures. She was confirmed as still powered in the 198 files.



Did you know?: Skein means either "a length of yarn wound in a coil" or "a flock of geese in flight." Either is totally inappropriate and Sybil will always be Gypsy Moth to me.

With A Tangled Skein.

Gatecrasher! We need moar scanz!


I never really knew Gypsy Moth, but anyone co-created by Carmine Infantio has my attention.

[jarrod]

Gatecrasher (and her Technet) in action!

[jarrod]

One moar!




CENTER YOURSELF THIS INSTANT!

[Swashbuckler]

I love that she's plus size but not afriad to show her mid-drift. Gatecrasher is a woman out of her time.

[jarrod]

Okay moar... with Phat Kitty bonus!

[XaviersMisprint]

She wants Songbird.

Only because I suspect she's shaken the cobwebs out of Jessica Drew, a time or two.

worstblogever, you have now done something personal to make you my favorite poster ever! thank God someone else wants Gyspy Moth around, instead of taunting me for loving her!

oh, and excellent bio, jack flash! i love gypsy moth :)

and i could not agree more that she should be in the thunderbolts post-SI, in her old school costume, too! i want the thunderbolts to be: venom, norman osborne, gypsy moth, whirlwind, collective man, bullseye, swordsman, and andrea von strucker. it would be perfect, plus it is rich with non-Xmen mutant deliciousness.
