Prester John is a fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe, based loosely on the mythical Christian king Prester John.

Prester John first appeared in "Fantastic Four" Vol.1 #54 (September 1966). He has mostly appeared as a villain, opposing Thor and Deadpool as well as the Fantastic Four.

Prester John is a centuries-old explorer who once was an ally of King Richard the Lionhearted, and was once ruler of an unknown kingdom in Eastern Asia. He is the possessor of the Evil Eye, a mystic object of power which was bestowed upon him in the extra-dimensional land of Avalon, and which can project vast amounts of energy.

Prester John is allied with the would-be messiah Cable, serving as the "Head of Multi-Religious Studies" for the island nation Providence.
