Maximillian Quincy Coleridge is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Steve Englehart and artist Herb Trimpe, the character first appeared in Super-Villain Team-Up #5 (April 1976). Coleridge, known under the codename The Shroud, set out to establish himself as the world's greatest hero. To maintain his guise as a villain, he assumed leadership of the supervillain team Night Shift, often manipulating its members into performing heroic acts without their knowledge. Inspired by his encounters with the West Coast Avengers—particularly Moon Knight—Coleridge later aspired to carry on Marc Spector's legacy by becoming the next Moon Knight.
