Who is Cruel?

Fresh out of Marvel's darkly charged Blood Hunt event, Cruel burst onto the scene in 2024 courtesy of the formidable creative team of Jed MacKay and Pepe Larraz — and has already racked up an impressive 16 appearances across Blood Hunt, Blood Hunters, and Blood Hunt: Red Band. This Modern Age newcomer keeps genuinely striking company, sharing pages with the likes of Spider-Man, Bloodstorm One, Smoke Eater, Unusual, and Damascene — a roster that signals Cruel is no background player but a figure woven right into the heart of Marvel's horror-tinged corner of the universe. With a debut in the red-band tier of one of Marvel's most visceral recent events, this is a character worth watching as their story is still very much being written.
