From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Schizoid Man is the name shared by two Marvel Comics villains with no true relation to each other. One of them is a minor 1970s foe of Spider-Man from the main Marvel continuum, while the other is a member of Marvel's Ultimate Universe group, the Liberators.

The original Schizoid Man is Chip Martin, a graduate student who suffers from psychological instability and has the power of building and animating solid constructs with his mind. He made very few appearances, all of them in late 1979/early 1980 issues of Spectacular Spider-Man #36, #38 and #39. His father is Senator Robert Martin, who was once suspected of being the Hobgoblin. Afterwards, Schizoid Man joined Vil-Anon, a twelve-step program dedicated to helping individuals overcome their criminal tendencies.

[edit] Civil War

In Civil War: Battle Damage Report it is revealed that Chip and Lectronn engaged in a three hour fight over New York that ended in a stalemate.

[edit] Ultimate Schizoid Man

The Ultimate Universe's Schizoid Man is a mutate created by modifying a (presumably French) man using a cell sample from Jamie Madrox. This grants him similar self-replication powers. He is used to control a riot at least once, and eventually joins the Liberators. His team, leading a large army, invades and conquers the United States, leading to mass civillain deaths. He is defeated by Captain America who, after being released from his cell by the Wasp, defeats all of his bodies, which are later said to be "scattered all over the Triskelion."
