Who is Raptor?

Raptor is a Modern Age Marvel villain who targets Spider-Man's inner circle, with connections to both Peter Parker and Ben Reilly suggesting his grudge runs deeper than a typical supervillain encounter. His threat is intensely personal, reaching even Aunt May.

Bursting onto the scene in 2009 courtesy of the creative team of Mark Waid and Mario Alberti, Raptor is a Modern Age Marvel villain whose brief but memorable presence cuts right to the heart of Spider-Man's world. Appearing across The Amazing Spider-Man and its related titles, this antagonist shares the page with Peter Parker, Ben Reilly, and even Aunt May Parker — a roster that signals just how personally the threat lands for everyone in Spidey's orbit. With eight catalog appearances and at least one recognized key issue to their name, Raptor may not have a sprawling bibliography, but quality over quantity is very much the story here. For collectors chasing the sharp, character-driven corners of the Modern Age Spider-Man era, Raptor is exactly the kind of discovery worth tracking down.
