History:
(Marc Spector: Moon Knight#52) - Moon Knight encountered Glaze and Cubist in Central Park where they were devouring a horses from a Hansom cab. Moon Knight attacked the pair, driving them off and saving their human victims.

(Marc Spector: Moon Knight#53) - Moon Knight and the Werewolf (Jack Russell) traveled to Central Park to follow up on the attack by Glaze and Cubist and encountered them, along with Fizzure, Gnash, Lowdown, Tailspin, T.K.O., and Triplex. Werewolf shattered Gnash's teeth but was then grabbed by Triplex. When Moon Knight tried to launch crescent darts at Cubist, he missed due to Cubist's distortion effect, but when Lowdown slammed into Moon Knight, more darts were launched into Triplex, freeing the Werewolf, and knocking Triplex into TKO, who was unable to stop herself from pummeling Triplex into submission. Aiming for the center of the distortion effect, Moon Knight took out Cubist with his truncheon.

SECRET WARS III HAPPENED

(Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu II#2 (fb) - BTS) - Achilles Fairchild hired Cubist to send a message to Moon Knight.

(Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu II#2) - Wearing a containment suit Cubist tagged along with two of Fairchild's Glitter dealers. They were soon hunted down by Moon Knight, Hunter's Moon and 8-Ball. Cubist knew that Moon Knight was not there for the drug, but for Fairchild's men to capture and interrogate them. After 8-Ball flipped over their car, Cubist took off the containment and bombarded Moon Knight and his allies with his pheromones. 8-Ball went down and Cubist used his cue to beat up Moon Knight and then tossed around Hunter's Moon. While beating up his adversaries Cubist delivered Fairchild's message to Moon Knight. He told the vigilante that Fairchild was going to retaliate and come after Moon Knight's business after Moon Knight did the same to him. Cubist had the three at his mercy, but didn't kill them because it was not what Fairchild wanted. He was also not sure if he would even be able to kill them before they killed him. Cubist then left because Fairchild's other men were gone already.

This profile is an expansion of a sub-profile within the Hellbent profile.

Cubist's physical appearance is literally cubism given form. Pablo Picasso and his contemporaries would be proud.
