Hiram Sheckerberg

Hiram Sheckerberg is a civilian supporting character in Marvel's Fantastic Four, known as a recurring presence in the lives of Ben Grimm and his allies, representing the ordinary New Yorkers who inhabit the margins of superhero adventures.

Hiram Sheckerberg is one of those quietly memorable faces that give the Marvel Universe its lived-in texture — a supporting character who debuted in the pages of Fantastic Four in 2002, brought to life by Karl Kesel and Stuart Immonen during the Modern Age. Over nearly two decades, he's turned up across a handful of titles, sharing pages with some of Marvel's heaviest hitters: Ben Grimm, Reed Richards, Johnny Storm, and even Spider-Man. Seven appearances spread across Fantastic Four, The Thing, and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl & the Great Lakes Avengers tells you this is a character with a knack for orbiting the extraordinary — a small but genuine thread woven into the fabric of Marvel's street-level, human side of superhero storytelling.
