Maximillian Coleridge

Maximillian Quincy Coleridge is the Shroud, a Marvel vigilante who trained with the Cult of Kali after being blinded by a ritual branding, which paradoxically granted him a mystic 'darksight' and the ability to tap the Darkforce dimension to conjure and control living darkness.

Maximillian Coleridge is a Marvel Bronze Age creation who first stepped onto the page in Spider-Woman #13 in 1979, brought to life by the legendary pairing of Mark Gruenwald and Carmine Infantino. Over a remarkable span stretching from that debut all the way to 2025, this figure has carved out a quietly enduring niche in the Marvel Universe, racking up 60 catalogued appearances — three of them collector-recognized key issues — across titles like Vengeance of the Moon Knight, Shadowland: Blood on the Streets, and Spider-Woman itself. The company Coleridge keeps is genuinely impressive: Moon Knight, Tigra, Shroud, Captain America, and Greer Nelson are among the characters sharing his pages, placing him squarely in the gritty, street-level corner of Marvel that Bronze Age fans treasure. For collectors who love digging into the rich supporting fabric of that era, Maximillian Coleridge is exactly the kind of find that rewards a deeper look.
