Spec Op 30 Reward Hero: Spitfire
Bio – After being bitten by a vampire, Jacqueline Falsworth required a transfusion of artificial blood to save her life. The combination of artificial blood and the vampire bite granted her super speed, which she used to her advantage while working with the Invaders. Many years later, she was grievously wounded and given a second transfusion which once again reacted with the old vampire bite, granting her the regenerative powers, claws, and fangs of a vampire but with none of the normal vampiric weaknesses. Embracing her new life as a part-vampire, part-android, part-human, Spitfire seeks her place in the world as a member of MI:13.

New Lockbox Hero: Baron Mordo
Bio - With all the training of Dr. Strange and none of the morality, Baron Mordo is a fearsome master of the arcane. Trained by the Ancient One, Mordo had an unquenchable lust for power. The Ancient One rejected Mordo as his successor and trained Stephen Strange to be the Sorcerer Supreme. Jealous, Mordo pursued new opportunities to increase his power, often in conflict with Dr. Strange, and eventually became a servant of Dormammu. After attempting to usurp Dormammu, Mordo was obliterated by the Mindless Ones. Resurrected for a dark purpose by Umar, the twin sister of Dormammu, and freed by his archenemy, Dr. Strange, Mordo now serves as Strange's ally while their goals are aligned, but for how long.
