Herman (Marvel)

Herman is a supporting protagonist of the 2014 Marvel short All Hail the King. He is an inmate who is a fan of Trevor Slattery and acts as his butler and bodyguard until the events of the short.

He was portrayed by Lester Speight.

Role
Herman was arrested for an unknown crime he committed and was sent to Seagate Prison, alongside Slattery for his involvement with Aldrich Killian. Being aware that Slattery impersonated the infamous warlord Mandarin as part of Aldrich's plot, many inmates idolize Slattery, and Herman became his new butler and bodyguard, tasked in getting Slattery's lunch and protecting him from those who would threaten Slattery; he even saved Slattery from being beaten an inmate named White Power Dave by gathering several inmates to help him out.

Herman also informed Slattery of an incoming documentary of a reporter named Jackson Noriss. As such, Herman watches as Norriss is trying to detail Slattery's life as a washed-up actor until the events. However, things changed when Norriss killed the guards and revealed himself to be an assassin working for the Ten Rings and intending to kidnap and bring Slattery over to the real Mandarin for impersonating him. Herman tried to save Slattery by attacking Norriss, but the latter just killed Herman by stabbing him in the neck, much to Slattery's shock.
