Michael Engelschwert

A minor but memorable face in the gritty mid-90s Marvel Universe, Michael Engelschwert stepped onto the page in 1995's Venom: Sinner Takes All #1, brought to life by Larry Hama and Greg Luzniak. His world is a dangerous one — he shares those dark corners of the Marvel cosmos with the likes of Eddie Brock, Venom, Anne Weying, and the fearsome Sin-Eater, making for some seriously intense company. With only a handful of appearances, Michael is the kind of supporting player who gives a story its texture and grounding, the human detail that makes a Copper/Modern Age thriller feel lived-in and real.
