Hijacker is a fictional American comic book character owned by Marvel Comics who exists in that company's Marvel Universe.

Hijacker was a gimmick-laden villain who specialized in stealing technology for later resale in criminal auctions.

Hijacker first appeared in Tales to Astonish #40 (February 1963), and was created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby.

The character subsequently appears in Marvel Two-In-One #24 (February 1977), #96 (February 1983), and Captain America #319 (July 1986), in which he was killed by the Scourge of the Underworld.

Hijacker was first defeated by Ant-Man[1], and later by Black Goliath and the Thing.[2] He was good at last-moment “rabbits out of the hat” tricks that no one expected. He returned for vengeance on the Thing after the hero was hospitalized. He used a tank similar in appearance to his last one, but it was not as durable and Iron Man made quick work of it.[3]

Hijacker attended the “Bar With No Name” massacre. Without his gimmicks and protection, he proved easy prey for the Scourge of the Underworld.[4]

Hijacker was later among the seventeen criminals, all murdered by the Scourge, to be resurrected by Hood using the power of Dormammu as part of a squad assembled to eliminate the Punisher.[5] He carries over a dozen different kinds of gases in his backpack, and has his giant impenetrable tank.[6] Hijacker chases the Punisher in his tank, who uses Pym particles to shrink down and get into the tank; after taking control of the tank, Punisher crashes it into the building where Basilisk was holding G. W. Bridge and uses the gases on Basilisk.[7]
