The Foreigner is a fictional comic book supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe. He was created by writer Peter David, and first appeared in ''Web of Spider-Man'' #15 (June 1986) The Foreigner is a mercenary and assassin. Although he has no superhuman abilities, he has trained his body to be in absolute peak physical condition, is among the greatest martial arts practitioners in the Marvel Universe, and as a professional assassin, who has evaded detection by various international law enforcement agencies, is highly intelligent. He is often depicted as being exceedingly competent. The Foreigner was formerly married to Silver Sable. ==Publication history== Writer Peter David created the Foreigner as a master assassin character to be a nemesis for Spider-Man. According to David, the character was designed to bear a strong resemblance to Patrick McGoohan.〔David, Peter. ("Weird, Twisted, Reasonably True Comic Book Stories" ). peterdavid.net.

''Comics Buyer's Guide'' #1169 (April 12, 1996).〕 The character's voice was first heard on a telephone in a scene in ''Web of Spider-Man'' #15 (June 1986), which was written by David Michelinie, but did not make a full, visual appearance until later that year in ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' #116 (July 1986). The Foreigner was favored by editor Jim Owsley as the true identity of the Hobgoblin, but David objected and had the Hobgoblin unmasked as Ned Leeds instead.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Foreigner (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
