Who is Ebony Maw?

Ebony Maw is a cunning, manipulative member of Thanos's Black Order (the Cull Obsidian), serving the Mad Titan as a master of persuasion and psychological warfare rather than brute force. He operates among elite cosmic threats including Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight.

A silver-tongued schemer born into the Modern Age of Marvel, Ebony Maw made his comics debut in 2016's Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: The Black Vortex, arriving in the company of heavy hitters like Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight, and Carol Danvers β€” a debut that signals he runs in rarefied, dangerous circles. His catalog appearances stretch across titles like Avengers: Beyond and Phoenix, marking him as a figure who surfaces wherever the stakes are cosmic. With only eight appearances cataloged, he's a rare find for collectors who love a villain with presence and pedigree.
