The Answer is the name of three fictional comic book characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Aaron Nicholson first appeared in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #92.

After Aaron Nicholson's "death", S.H.I.E.L.D. agent David Ferrari took the name of Answer in Captain America vol. 3 #42.

Aaron Nicholson is a criminal genius and a former member of the Kingpin's criminal organization. He is also a former hitman in the Las Vegas division of HYDRA and was empowered by the laboratory machines of Dr. Farley Stillwell's brother Dr. Harlan Stillwell where he became the Answer.

The Answer studies Spider-Man's powers, and then attacks Spider-Man and the Black Cat to test the limits of their powers. He then kidnaps the Black Cat to misdirect Spider-Man's attention as he steals Silvermane's body from the police morgue, and assisted the Kingpin in partially restoring Silvermane's life. He then kidnapped Dagger in hopes that her powers would cure the Kingpin's ailing wife. Silvermane rampages mindlessly; to end the rampage, the Answer sacrifices his corporeal form and converts himself to energy to revive Dagger, who possesses Silvermane's life-force.

The Answer later telepathically contacts Doctor Octopus who restores his corporeal existence. The Answer ends up fighting with Octavius and is defeated by him. He later appears in the Raft where he escapes but is captured by Toxin.

It is later revealed that he had been feigning bad luck in order to reunite with his unrequited love Ruby Thursday, before her body is killed by Bullseye.
