Marvel Teaser: Who is the New Man Without Fear?

A Major Change is Coming in Shadowland

Updated August 6th with Kraven image.

A major change is coming in the Marvel Universe during the Shadowland mini-series. And now Marvel Comics has released the first in a series of teaser images originally only shown at this year's San Diego Comic Con. The teaser images feature a Marvel hero or villain who may possibly be the new "Man Without Fear."

This one seems like a long shot. Kraven the Hunter has recently returned and terrorized Spidey in the Grim Hunt storyline. While Kraven will go toe-to-toe with anyone, it's hard to imagine him in this role.

The Falcon has recently helped Bucky, as the new Captain America, defeat the deranged 1950's Cap and they both currently have their hands full with the return of Baron Helmut Zemo. Sam is from Harlem, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him decide to protect New York as the "Man Without Fear."

Richard Ryder can currently be found in Ed Brubaker and Mike Deodato's Secret Avengers book as well as in DnA's Thanos Imperative. Thanos Imperative and the initial Secret Avengers story take place off of Earth, so Nova has quite a distance to travel if he is going to play a role in Shadowland.

Gambit has been dealing with the resurfacing of the powers given to him by Apocalypse. He was recently overwhelmed by demons in the X-Men: Second Coming Revelations - Hellbound mini-series and reverted back into the Horseman of Death. It seems like Remy's fate lies somewhere other than Hell's Kitchen.

Could the Black Panther be coming to the Concrete Jungle? T'Challa has recently upgraded his powers and has been battling Doctor Doom for control of Wakanda in Doomwar.

Check back during the week to see who else is a candidate
