Fictional Character Biography
Jerome Myers was born in Pittsville, Terranova, on the United States of "Other-Earth" or "Earth-S". As Quagmire, he became a criminal and member of the supervillain group the Institute of Evil. He was a recurring foe of Doctor Spectrum. Alongside the Institute of Evil, he held the Squadron Supreme's loved ones hostage, but was ultimately defeated by the Squadron. Like the rest of the Institute members, he was subjected to the behavior-modification process, and elected to full membership in the Squadron Supreme.
Later, on an assignment with Ape X and Blue Eagle, Quagmire was reprimanded by Eagle for inappropriate behavior. After saving thirty factory workers from a gas leakage in an industrial accident, Quagmire went into a coma. In the hospital, while in a coma, he interfaced with the Darkforce dimension. Vast quantities of Darkforce flooded the hospital, drowning Doctor Decibel, until the life support equipment was disconnected by Hyperion. Quagmire was sucked into the hole in his brain that is a portal into the dimension from which his dark matter originates, and was presumed deceased by the Squadron.
Quagmire eventually came through a portal into the mainstream Earth dimension which formed near the Nexus of All Realities in the belly of the Man-Thing. Quagmire's body passed through the body of a seemingly pregnant Man-Thing. This passage apparently reversed the effects of the behavior modification, restoring his old criminal, renegade personality, and he battled Quasar and Jennifer Kale. Quagmire was eventually contacted by the Chief Examiner while in the Vault, and was freed. Quagmire approached Kayla Ballantine and forced her through the Chief Examiner's black teleportal. He battled the tiny Antibody which secretly sought refuge inside his body.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Gentleness and delicacy of character are everywhere apparent in his verse. The simplest and humblest words come readily to his lips.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
