In Sabir Prizado and Francesco Mortarino’s Dark Web: Ms. Marvel #1, the Inventor has returned from the dead after a long absence to exact revenge on Ms. Marvel. The Goblin Queen, Madelyne Pryor, is starting her demon assault of New York City as the issue opens with the Inventor creeping from the debris of a Jersey City landfill. An antagonist like the Inventor feels entirely at home in the nostalgic anarchy of the Dark Web.
In Dark Web: Ms. Marvel #1 by Sabir Prizado and Francesco Mortarino, the Inventor makes a comeback to get revenge on Ms. Marvel after being dead for years. As Madelyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen, launches her demonic invasion of New York City, the issue’s opening scene shows the Inventor emerging from the debris of a Jersey City landfill. A villain like the Inventor feels right at home in the nostalgia-fueled mayhem of the Dark Web.
The Inventor Fits Into Marvel’s Dark Web Event Perfectly
The Inventor first crossed paths with Ms. Marvel in 2014’s Ms. Marvel #5 by G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona, creating an early impression as one of her oddest enemies. Gregory Knox’s attempt to clone famous Inventor Thomas Edison gave rise to the fictional character The Inventor. Knox’s pet bird accidentally combined Edison’s DNA with its pet cockatiel, resulting in a hybrid (or hybrid) sample. It produced an enormously clever humanoid clone of Edison with a bird-like head and other bird-like bodily traits.
Even though the enemy is weird, he is Ms. Marvel’s first adversary and gives her a fight for her money. The Inventor’s initial plan focused on the youth in the area of Ms. Marvel, urging them to act as human batteries by stoking their fears as children. In Ms. Marvel #11, The Inventor plunged to death and has since been declared dead.
The event’s reliance on nostalgia and its utter absurdity have been two key components of the Dark Web up until now. Dark Web references various iconic Marvel stories and events, including the X-Men Inferno event from the 1980s, giving Spider-Man more clone-related problems, and returning Venom to his earlier, more vicious incarnation.
It only makes sense to return the character to her first supervillain in a Ms. Marvel tie-in, reuniting the Jersey City hero with her original adversary from almost ten years ago. Dark Web has simultaneously maintained a deliciously chaotic tone since its debut issue, saturating New York’s streets with an absurdly high number of crazy demons and amusing threats. The evil hybrid clone of Thomas Edison and a bird merits a place in this event more than any other supervillain from the history of Marvel.
