Michael Berengetti

Peter David introduced Michael Berengetti in The Incredible Hulk #347 in 1988 — a Copper Age debut that dropped him right into one of the most beloved and distinctive runs in Hulk history. A figure tied to the Maggia, Berengetti inhabits the grittier, noir-tinged corners of the Marvel Universe, sharing pages with Bruce Banner, Joe Fixit, and Marlo Chandler across The Incredible Hulk, Joe Fixit, and Marvel Comics Presents. His 19 catalog appearances stretch a remarkable 35 years, including at least one collector-significant key issue, a quiet testament to how thoroughly Peter David's world-building took root. For fans of that era's sharp, character-driven storytelling, Berengetti is exactly the kind of supporting player who gives a legendary run its texture and soul.
