(Formerly):

The Puppet Master (Philip Masters) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

As his name suggests, the Puppet Master uses "radioactive clay" to make puppets in the likenesses of real people, allowing him to control and manipulate them. Presumably, he has some sort of psionic ability that enables him to do this. He has a deep hatred of the Thing, who is romantically interested and married to his stepdaughter, Alicia Masters. He once tried to take over the world but was thwarted in this effort by the Fantastic Four.
