Der Schakal

Der Schakal is the German-language edition's presentation of the Jackal, the villainous alter ego of Miles Warren — a geneticist and Spider-Man foe best known for his obsession with cloning, which placed him at the center of the infamous Clone Saga storyline.

A creature of shadows and schemes, Der Schakal prowls the pages of Panini Deutschland's German-language Spider-Man line, debuting in 1997's Marvel Special #1 under the hands of Mark Waid, Reinhard Schweizer, and Ron Garney. Across a surprisingly durable twenty-year run through titles like Spider-Man, Spider-Man Special, and Der sensationelle Spider-Man, this figure keeps genuinely fascinating company — sharing pages with Peter Parker, Ben Reilly, Miles Warren, and the web-slinging Rote Spinne, a roster that places Der Schakal deep in the tangled, clone-haunted corner of Spider-Man's world. With 16 catalog appearances and one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Der Schakal is a rewarding find for fans who love digging into the rich tradition of localized Marvel publishing and the distinctive storytelling that flourished in the German market.
