Marco Delgado (comics)
Harry Delgado (sometimes referred to as "Marco" in annotated materials- it is made unclear in the X-Men series whether he is in fact the same S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent who was hunting the Acolytes, or an individual with a different name) is a fictional mutant supervillain in the Marvel Comics Universe. He was created by Chris Claremont and debuted in X-Men vol. 2 #1
Fictional character biography
Harry Delgado was possibly a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. who was hunting the people who became the Acolytes that attempted to join Magneto aboard Asteroid M. Harry was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent who rejected the more brutal tactics of his partners, and a mysterious "Delgado" later appeared on the Acolytes themselves, utilizing mutant powers of size-alteration. Wolverine and The Beast question whether this is the same individual who later switched sides, a man with a coincidental name, or something else, but no answer ever comes. Delgado was often targeted by those Acolytes who were able to manipulate the abilities of their fellow brethren, such as the power-boosting Fabian Cortez and the molecule-altering Chrome.
