Quasimodo is a supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe, a creation of the Mad Thinker.
Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Fantastic Four Annual #4 (November 1966).
Within the context of the stories, Quasimodo is a computer created and abandoned by the Mad Thinker. The computer is discovered by the Silver Surfer who, feeling pity for the computer's desire to be human, grants him a partly organic, semi-humanoid cyborg body. Quasimodo becomes enraged by his feeling of inferiority compared to the Silver Surfer's more perfect body, and battles the Silver Surfer. He is rendered immobile by the Surfer. Eventually regaining his mobility, Quasimodo comes into conflict with Captain Marvel, the Beast, Spider-Man and Hawkeye, the Fantastic Four, the Galadorian Spaceknight Rom, and finally the Vision, who expels Quasimodo's consciousness into space.
Quasimodo returns to Earth and sets up shop at a base in Cuba during the Dark Reign storyline. It is here that he was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. at the behest of Norman Osborn. Quasimodo enters Osborn's service as an analyst, compiling dossiers on numerous superhumans.
