Knull is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with Venom and Carnage. He was later retroactively established as an unseen enemy of Thor and the Silver Surfer, as he was behind Gorr the God Butcher's mission to hunt down and kill various deities, in addition to having come into conflict with the Silver Surfer via a temporal black hole through time. The character is depicted as an evil deity who created the weapon known as All-Black the Necrosword and the alien races known as the Klyntar/Symbiotes and Exolons. The character would go on to play a more important role in the Marvel Universe.

Knull has been described as one of Marvel's most notable and powerful supervillains.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}

Knull will make his cinematic debut in the Sony's Spider-Man Universe film Venom: The Last Dance. The character was also loosely adapted as the Dark Shadow Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Thor: Love and Thunder, portrayed by an uncredited extra. In the animated series Spider-Man, Knull is voiced by Ben Pronsky.
