Coming this fall, Marvel Comics continues to break new ground as we welcome the newest character into the Marvel fold. Launching as part of the upcoming Marvel NOW! initiative, we are pleased to announce MOSAIC #1 – a brand-new ongoing series from American screenwriter and novelist, Geoffrey Thorne (Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man) and artist extraordinaire, Khary Randolph (Deadpool: The Gauntlet, Tech Jacket)!
“To say that Morris will have a long, hard road to travel to become a hero is an understatement,” says Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso. “One minute, Mosaic holds the world in the palm of his hand, the next, he has absolutely nothing, except for powers that will transform him into one of the Marvel Universe’s most complex characters — powers that , if not properly harnessed, will feel more like a curse.”
Mosaic centers on Morris Sackett – professional basketball player and celebrity. Loved by millions, hated by his teammates. Only Morris is secretly something else – something Inhuman. Coming into contact with the transformative Terrigen Mists has given Morris spectacular new abilities. Imbued with the ability to jump from person-to-person like a ghost, Morris can control the bodies and memories of those he inhabits. But these fantastic new abilities come at a grave cost. Recognized as an all-star athlete, Morris has worked his whole adult life to raise his body to peak physical form, but after his transformation, his living body is no more, and Morris must now rely on other bodies to survive.
“Morris goes from being one of the most famous people in the world to being no one,” says Executive Editor Nick Lowe. “Now he not only has to do time in the bodies of people he never even would have noticed, but also deep into Marvel Universe events!”
Fans eager to meet Mosaic won’t have to wait long – as the character’s highly anticipated first appearance comes to comic shops next week in UNCANNY INHUMANS #11. Plus, ahead of his ongoing series, fans can experience a 10-page Mosaic origin story from Thorne & Randolph which will be available for free on August 6th at all Barnes & Noble stores nationwide, as part of their Get Pop-Cultured event.
MOSAIC #1 comes to comic shops and digital devices everywhere this October!

Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Meh
Will this new Mosaic guy morph into our old GL John Stewart on the planet named Mosaic? THAT a book I would want to read.
uuuum not really hyped, hopefully I can get the #11 variant if hes on it and the book sparks a quick flip!
So he’s Deadman?
Oh. Good point.
Can we get a list of all the Marvel heroes stolen from the DC universe and vice versa? Happens all the time.. 🙂
Poyo, I’ll start with red tool who is stolen from deadpool who is stolen from deathstroke
And I only now realize that a stroke is something done in a pool….
I said the exact same thing over the weekend on reddit.
Here I will add: and he’s wearing multiplex’s costume!
I seem to remember Malice who took over Sue Richards and later Dazzler, in the X-men had similar powers !
Shadow King as well. I don’t think he had a physical body.
Malice in X-men was actually a different character than Malice in Fantastic Four. Malice in X-men was a “hidden member” of the Marauders, most notable for possessing Polaris for quite some time. Malice in Fantastic Four was a manipulation of Psycho-Man upon Sue Richards after she miscarried her second child (who we later learned was rescued & transplanted by Franklin, years later).
If we start naming them it will be a never ending list lol.
Add Jericho from Teen Titans. Anf Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap.
“Break new ground”…indeed.
I thought Marvel had given up on trying to make the Inhumans become, “A Thing.” I guess not if this guy is an Inhuman as opposed to a mutant or some other super-being.
I look forward to seeing this character take shape,I like that marvel is trying something new instead of a rehash of another Gwen Variant cover
I’m surprised no one else drew the same conclusion as me. I was immediately thinking of Captain Universe… the hero who could be You!
Lol. I had thought about that initially but Shadow King kept coming to the forefront of my mind. I think Marvel is going to push this character hard. Like they are fast tracking him to popularity.

Actually, he reminds me of Cardiac
New character reminds me of Deadman, resurrection man, Noman, and dial H for hero.
