Creation
Hate-Monger was created by John Byrne and first appeared in Fantastic Four #279.
Character Evolution
Psycho-Man's construct is the third super-villain to name themselves Hate-Monger, after a subsequent Adolf Hitler clone and Man-Beast, and is the second Hate-Monger to fight the Fantastic Four. This version of Hate-Monger has no connection to the previous two, except in similar powerset. Psycho-Man's Hate-Monger also appeared in the crossover Secret Wars II and was killed as part of the Scourge crossover. Since the construct's death, Animus became the next person to assume the Hate-Monger identity before the original Hate-Monger returned. This Hate-Monger received an Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe entry in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z #5.
Powers and Abilities
Hate-Monger is a shape-shifter with the ability to instill hatred into those who hear his voice or come into physical contact with him.
