Who is Greg Salinger?

Greg Salinger is the second Marvel character to assume the Foolkiller identity, a disturbed vigilante who targets those he considers 'fools' using a disintegration ray. Driven by a twisted moral code, he wages a violent one-man crusade against what he sees as human foolishness and mediocrity.

Greg Salinger stepped onto the Marvel stage in 1977's Omega the Unknown #8, a Bronze Age debut courtesy of Roger Stern and Lee Elias that planted him firmly in one of that era's most offbeat corners of the Marvel Universe. Over nearly four decades he's kept genuinely electric company β€” sharing pages with Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Johnny Storm, and the Ringmaster β€” and his appearances across The Amazing Spider-Man and The Defenders speak to a character woven into the broader fabric of Marvel street-level storytelling. With 13 catalog appearances including one collector-recognized key issue, Salinger is the kind of deep-cut Bronze Age figure that rewards the dedicated fan who loves hunting beyond the household names.
