The Profile is a Marvel Comics character, created by writer Charlie Huston and penciler David Finch. He first appeared in Moon Knight (Vol. 4) #2 (July 2006) in the second chapter of "The Bottom."
[edit] Fictional character biography
In "The Bottom," The Profile has been hired by The New Committee to assist them in their plans to turn Moon Knight into their personal assassin. Detached and somewhat amoral, he seems dismissive of Moon Knight as a hero, saying "if by hero, you mean a borderline sadist whose entire sense of self-worth is bound up in his ability to inflict pain, kill, and generally &*%$ everything up? Then yeah, he was a hero. One of the unacknowledged greats."
More recently, Moon Knight has leaned on the Profile for help in finding his sidekick-turned-enemy Midnight (Moon Knight vol 2 #11) . The Profile has attempted to further curry favor with Marc Spector by giving him advice on how to win back Marlene Alraune.
[edit] Powers and abilities
The Profile is able to divine people's backgrounds and identify character traits and preferences simply by looking at them. This allows him to accurately predict their reactions to a variety of situations. Moon Knight (Vol. 4) #4 suggests that he might be a mutant and confirms that he is not immune to his own powers ("Sweetheart. What is it that I've said tonight that makes you think I have any interest in looking into a mirror?").
Although his powers are useful against mutants, "science experiments," and technology-powered superheroes, the Profile's accuracy is seriously compromised by genuine supernatural influence, such as that of Moon Knight's patron Khonshu.
