Poundcakes (Marian Pouncy) is a supervillainess in the Marvel Comics Universe and former member of the female villain team, the Grapplers.
Marian Pouncy was born in Garden City, New Jersey. She began her career as a professional wrestler known as Poundcakes, until she was imprisoned for extortion. There, she met Screaming Mimi, and told her about her teammates in the Grapplers. After they escaped from prison, they rejoined Poundcakes' teammates Letha and Titania. The group was then contracted by the Roxxon Oil Company to become professional criminals, and given special powers by the Power Broker. Poundcakes was given superhuman strength along with her teammates, but also a pair of "seismatic boots", which gives her the ability to create tremors and minor earthquakes by stomping the ground.
One mission joined the Grapplers with Thundra, a powerful female warrior, with whom they wrestled in a practice match. The Grapplers were able to convince Thundra to aid them in smuggling the Nth Projector into Project Pegasus, but quickly turned on her and ran off to do their own thing. Poundcakes and Titania were confronted by Giant-Man. He was able to grab Titania, but Poundcakes launched him into a fiery pit of acid. He was able to climb back up, only to be attacked by both women. Poundcakes stomped on his foot, shrinking Giant-Man back down to size. Both Poundcakes and Titania grabbed one of Giant-Man's arms, planning to pull his limbs apart. However, using the last of his strength, Giant-Man grabbed the two mercenaries and smashed them together, knocking them out cold.
Poundcakes was next seen with her accomplices in Ryker's Island prison. After Dazzler is charged for the death of Klaw and sent to the same prison, the Grapplers kidnap her and attempt to find out how she killed him. Dazzler refuses to answer anything, which causes Poundcakes to beat her. Dazzler tries to stop the large woman from attacking her, but is unable to do anything. However, as soon as Screaming Mimi uses her powers on Dazzler, she is able to absorb the sound and use it against the Grapplers, defeating them.
