Styx

Styx is a gaunt, death-touched villain who can kill by draining the life force from anyone he touches. He typically operates alongside his partner Stone, the pair forming a mercenary duo who repeatedly clash with Spider-Man.

Lurking in the shadows of Marvel's Copper Age, Styx made a chilling entrance in The Amazing Spider-Man #332 in 1990, the creation of the legendary team of David Michelinie and Erik Larsen. This unsettling figure has haunted the pages of some of Marvel's most beloved titles across more than three decades, crossing paths with heavy hitters like Spider-Man, Venom, and even Deadpool. A rare and elusive presence with only a handful of catalogued appearances, Styx is exactly the kind of deep-cut villain that rewards the dedicated collector who loves discovering the darker corners of the Spider-Man universe.
