Modred the Evil

Modred the Evil is a dark sorcerer from Arthurian legend reimagined in the Marvel universe, whose malevolent nature is announced by his very name. He has clashed with medieval-themed and supernatural heroes including the Black Knight.

Conjured from the Bronze Age imagination of Roy Thomas and Howard Purcell, Modred the Evil made his sinister entrance in Marvel UK's Hulk Comic in 1979 — a darkly compelling figure whose very name announces his nature. Despite a modest footprint in the catalog, his journey spans an impressive four decades, brushing up against some of Marvel's most storied adventurers including the Black Knight, Nighthawk, and Dane Whitman along the way. His appearances across Hulk Comic, Squadron Supreme, and the Captain Britain Omnibus mark him as a genuine curiosity of the British Marvel landscape — the kind of brooding, ancient-flavored villain that makes digging through back issues such a rewarding hunt.
