Madame Sapphire is a supervillainess from Amalgam Comics and a foe of Iron Lantern. Her first true appearance was in Iron Lantern #1, but in Amalgam continuity, she appeared in Showcase of Suspense #75.
Madame Sapphire was actually Pepper Ferris, a test pilot in Coast City for Hal Stark's aircraft corporation, who also yielded her strange powers when she was attacked by enchanted jewelry that took control of her body. The jewelry itself had been revived by Mandarinestro as a plot to destroy Iron Lantern.
Pepper secretly had a crush on Iron Lantern's alter-ego, Hal Stark, but knew the relationship couldn't work due to work relations. She is also the daughter of Senator Ferris, a snooty government official keeping tabs on Stark Aircraft.
After turning into Madame Sapphire once again in a plot by Mandarinestro, the possessed Pepper kidnapped Senator Ferris to give him lessons in "etiquette", and resurrected Great White to try and destroy Iron Lantern.
In the unpublished Iron Lantern #2, Madame Sapphire abandoned this plan after seeing Iron Lantern falling to Earth, Peppers' love for him surfaced, and used her sapphire-powers to revive him. Abandoning the Senator's lesson, she defeated Mandarinestro alongside Iron Lantern and Green Guardsman.
She is an amalgamation of Madame Masque from Marvel Comics and Star Sapphire of DC Comics. Her secret identity is an amalgamation of Pepper Potts from Marvel Comics and Carol Ferris of DC Comics.

Power cells are the main item in the Jak and Daxter game. They are the item Jak must collect throughout the entire game. They are acquired by collecting tasks or just finding them out in the wild. Some certain tasks are finding all the scout flies in an area. There are seven of these in each area. Each time you defeat a boss, you will get one from the boss except for Gol and Maia. Power Cells are yellow in color and float above the ground. When Jak picks one up, the four orbitting objects around it retract back into their respective holes.
Notables about Power Cells
* There is a large model of a power cell above the forbidden temple.
* Daxter does one of many dances each time you collect a power cell.
* The Power Cell song is played once in Jak II, in a parody of obtaining an important item (a flag from a tower).
* There are 101 Power Cells in the whole game, but you only need 100 of them to view the secret movie
* If you have all 100 when you beat Gol and Maia then you can view the real ending - a cliffhanger leading to the events of Jak II.
* On average, there are at least three power cells in each level, with A-grav Zoomer stages among the few with two.
Cameo
* The theme song for the Power Cell is used in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando.

Starhaven is a fictional planet in the DC Universe's future, near the core of the Milky Way galaxy. It was settled by Native Americans (referred to, in the stories, as "Amerinds") in the 23rd Century, and they have maintained their culture through the time of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th and 31st Centuries.
The people of Starhaven have experimented with genetic manipulation, adding abilities to themselves such as flight with feathered wings and the ability to survive in airless space.
Legionnaire Dawnstar, who has additional tracking and space-warp-flight abilities, is from Starhaven.
The planet was depicted most visibly in Legion of Super-Heroes v2 #305 (November 1983) and #311 (May 1984). These stories show the beginning and end of Dawnstar's ritual "grand tour of the galaxy," and also portray her parents and elements of their religion.

Lehtinen left Finland in March 1996 and moved to Brussels to begin a traineeship at the European Commission where he worked on anti- issues for some months. Later that year he joined , a large privately held public affairs (Lobbying) company.
