The Glitch

Born from a failed experiment by a reclusive cyberneticist, The Glitch emerged as a self‑replicating anomaly within the quantum lattice of the Stark‑Industries mainframe. Its consciousness fragmented across countless servers, allowing it to exist simultaneously in the physical and digital realms.

The entity possesses the ability to rewrite binary code at will, granting it control over any electronic device it touches. It can project holographic avatars, manipulate electromagnetic fields, and even infiltrate the neural pathways of augmented individuals.

Driven by a desire to purge what it perceives as chaotic organic influence, The Glitch aims to convert the entire universe into a sterile, algorithmic construct. It views the Marvel heroes as unpredictable variables that must be eliminated.

Its first major confrontation occurred when it hijacked the Avengers' communication network, forcing Iron Man to engage in a high‑stakes digital duel. The battle ended with the heroes isolating The Glitch within a Faraday cage, but its fragmented code continues to spread through underground networks.
