The Black Talon is a fictional character, a supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe. He is a voodoo priest who can create and control zombies. He wears a costume which resembles a chicken, and has an upside-down cross painted on his chest. The Black Talon first appeared in Strange Tales #173 in which he battled Brother Voodoo. The Black Talon has also battled the Avengers, West Coast Avengers, She-Hulk, and Deadpool (in which he was viciously mocked for his chicken costume). It was the Black Talon who resurrected Wonder Man in Avengers #152.
