Mallen is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He serves as the main antagonist of the Extremis storyline.

The character first appeared in Iron Man vol. 4 #1 (January 2005) and was created by Warren Ellis, and Adi Granov

Mallen's parents were killed in a shootout with the FBI over weapons violations in Texas. After being in a tragic farm accident as a child and forever being referred to as 'Miracle Baby', he grew up bitter, grew a sense of hatred for government and believed in white superiority aligning himself with a small cell of domestic terrorists. In Bastrop, they were given the experimental-Extremis drug (which was created by Aldrich Killian) by a supplier whose identity wasn't known yet. Mallen took it, and had a massive spasm, and was locked down by the other two. 2 days later, emerging from an external scab-like cocoon, he emerged as a superhuman threat.

Under Extremis, Mallen attacked the Houston FBI branch, with him slaughtering every one in the building, even scaring the terrorists themselves. While in a van, he was confronted by Iron Man who had the others arrested. In a fight, he badly injured Stark in his Iron Man's armor (shattering his right knee, cracking his chest plate, and crushing his right hand) and then set out to kill the U.S. leaders in Washington, D.C. He briefly stopped to talk with a protester, and ended up murdering her over her views.
