Frances Barrison
Frances Barrison, known as Shriek, is a mentally unstable Marvel villain with sonic-based powers and the ability to manipulate emotions. Emerging from a traumatic past, she became a dangerous antagonist in Spider-Man's world, most notably as a close ally of the symbiote killer Carnage.
Frances Barrison made her Marvel debut in the pages of Spider-Man Unlimited #1 in 1993, stepping onto the scene during a era when the Spider-Man corner of the Marvel universe was crackling with dark, symbiote-fueled energy. Over more than three decades of publication, she's kept some genuinely dangerous company β sharing pages with Spider-Man, Venom, and Peter Parker himself β and her appearances stretch from that Copper Age debut all the way into 2026. Turning up across titles like Fearless Defenders, All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider, and Venom War: Lethal Protectors, Frances Barrison is one of those characters whose staying power in Marvel's darker corners rewards the dedicated reader willing to track her threads through the web.
