The puzzle pieces have come together.
Marvel starting asking who is Mosaic three months ago.
Now we know the new Inhuman behind the code-name.
Marvel announced Mosaic #1 first via Vulture by screenwriter and novelist Geoffrey Thorne and artist Khary Randolph. This new character will be part of the upcoming Marvel NOW! initiative.
We have seen now ordinary people have been turned into Inhumans but what happens when a celebrity becomes super powered?
“To say that Morris will have a long, hard road to travel to become a hero is an understatement,” says Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso told Marvel.com. “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.”
Here’s more on the new hero:
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!”
The character makes his first appearance comes in Uncanny Inhumans #1 next week. Fans can experience an free 10-page origin story from Thorne & Randolph available exclusively in select Barnes & Noble retail stores as part of the Get Pop Cultured Summer Event.
Mosaic #1 arrives this October.
