Darren Agonistes Cross is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the archenemy of Scott Lang (the second superhero to be called Ant-Man) and the cousin of Crossfire.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the character was portrayed in live-action by Corey Stoll in the 2015 film Ant-Man as Yellowjacket (a concept later integrated into the comics with the character as the third version of Yellowjacket in the Marvel Universe),[1][2] and in the 2023 film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as M.O.D.O.K. (Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing).[3]
