Richard Rory is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. He initially was a sort of author surrogate or alter ego for writer Steve Gerber though Gerber is also shown to exist in the Marvel Universe. He was introduced in Man-Thing Volume 1 #2 a bit of a loner who rather easily befriended the nearly mindless monster. When in rural areas he was frequently belittled for having a college education and a rather left-wing perspective.
