Hate-Monger

Hate-Monger burst onto the Modern Age Marvel scene in 2007, conjured by the sharp creative pairing of Matt Fraction and Ariel Olivetti in the pages of Punisher War Journal — a series that put this villain in the orbit of Frank Castle himself, alongside the likes of Stuart Clarke and G. W. Bridge. With only a handful of catalog appearances concentrated in that hard-edged Punisher War Journal run, Hate-Monger is a rare and pointed figure, the kind of deep-cut antagonist that rewards readers who dig into Fraction's celebrated complete collection. For fans who love their Marvel villains mean, modern, and steeped in street-level grit, this is one worth tracking down.
