Cameron Hodge is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as an adversary in stories featuring the X-Men. Created by writer Bob Layton and artist Jackson Guice, he first appeared as a supporting character in X-Factor #1 (Feb. 1986),[1]

The original volume of X-Factor was a spinoff of The Uncanny X-Men featuring an eponymous team composed of the original five members of the X-Men, which was conceived by Hodge, the former college roommate of founding member Warren Worthington, and who served as its public relations agent.[2][3] Later, under writer Louise Simonson, Hodge was revealed to be secretly acting against X-Factor[4] as the leader of the anti-mutant terrorist organization known as the Right. He is decapitated in a confrontation with Worthington,[2][5] but his head is later revealed to have been attached to a large robotic body during the 1990 "X-Tinction Agenda".[2][6][7] The character is later revealed in a 1993 storyline to have merged with the extraterrestrial cybernetic race known as the Phalanx.[2]

The character has been adapted into animated TV series. He is voiced by Stephen Ouimette in X-Men: The Animated Series, and by Keith Ferguson in X-Men: Destiny.
