Elijah Stern

A shadowy presence in the Marvel Ultimate Universe, Elijah Stern made his debut in Ultimate Spider-Man #90 in 2006, brought to life by the legendary creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley at the height of their celebrated run. Operating in the same corners of the Ultimate Universe as Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Tinkerer, Stern is the kind of character who makes the world feel richer and more dangerous simply by existing within it. With one key-issue appearance to his name and a presence stretching across the Ultimate Spider-Man titles into the early 2010s, he's a rewarding discovery for readers who love digging into the deeper cuts of one of Marvel's most beloved modern reimaginings.
