Identity Disc is a 2004 five-part comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics. The story was written by Robert Rodi and penciled by John Higgins.
In the story, six Marvel villains "team up" to steal the Identity Disc, which supposedly contains data on every Marvel hero, including their relatives and credit reports. The plot is largely inspired by the film The Usual Suspects.[citation needed]
Synopsis
The story opens with a younger Adrian Toomes, pre-Vulture, being captured by police as his wife takes his daughter from him. Years later,
The remaining villains break into A.I.M headquarters to steal it. Deadpool separates from the rest of the group to draw off the assaulting A.I.M. agents (due to his advanced healing factor). Sabretooth descends down an elevator shaft only to be accidentally crushed by a plummeting Juggernaut (who was in turn tripped by Bullseye) as the two argued who would make a last stand against the advancing A.I.M. forces at the mouth of the shaft. The invulnerable Juggernaut locates the identity disc only to be gassed into unconsciousness by an unseen assailant. The A.I.M. lair collapses and the Vulture is taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Meanwhile, Sandman is revealed to be alive and enjoying a tropical vacation, having faked his own death at the behest of his real employer—the real Tristram Silver.
