Victor Chase Stein[1] (also known as Talkback[2]) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by author Brian K. Vaughan and artist Adrian Alphona, and debuted in Runaways #1 with most of the other main characters.[3] Along with every member of the original Runaways, he is the child of evil villains with special abilities—in Chase's case, mad scientists.[3] Chase tends to be viewed as the "wild card" in the series due to his shifting roles within the group (e.g. getaway guy, technical wiz, loose cannon).[4] Chase, 18 years old, is the eldest of the Runaways.[5] Chase possesses a signature set of gauntlets called Fistigons[6] and later shares a psychic and empathic link with the Deinonychus Old Lace, granting Chase the ability to command the dinosaur.[5]
Chase Stein was portrayed by Gregg Sulkin in the Hulu television series Runaways, which is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
