Charon (Charlie Ronalds) is a fictional villain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character made his sole appearance in X-Factor Annual #8 (May 1993).
Charlie Ronalds was orphaned at a young age after an unidentified mutant killed his parents. The mutant spared Charlie because he had "never killed a kid before" and would rather not start. Charlie is raised in several foster homes and grows up to be a bitter teenager with a hatred of mutants. His sole friend is Guido Carosella, who he later learns is a mutant. Enraged, Charlie picks up a large rock and prepares to attack Guido with it, only for Guido to accidentally smash the rock into him. Charlie recovers from his injury, but sustains a slight limp, requiring him to use a cane.
Charlie spends much of his adult life studying the occult arts and eventually makes a deal with the demon Cloot. According to the terms of the deal, he would be granted superhuman abilities to battle X-Factor in return for giving Cloot their souls. Realizing that Charon has no intention of honoring his promise of souls, the Devil promptly arrives and eats Charon, telling him that he would be reunited with his parents in Hell. [1] [2]
As an adult, Charlie Ronalds goes on to strike a deal with Cloot (the devil figure pictured above) and transforms into a monster named Charon.
