Jude the Entropic Man is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. Former A.I.M. member Victorius used the Cosmic Cube to create a being that would incarnate the nihilistic philosophy of the eccentric Cult of Entropists from the remains of their leader Yagzan (who had been killed by the Glob) and the soil, slime, and stone nearby. The result was Jude the Entropic Man, a semi-humanoid being with the hypnotic power to attract victims and the ability to turn them to dust with his touch. Captain America and the Thing traced the Cube's energy to the Cult and its leaders. Captain America fought Victorius, drawing the attention of the Man-Thing, in whose swamp the Cult was based. Jude engulfed the Thing, removing the Thing's powers. The Man-Thing had picked up the Cosmic Cube, and Victorius tried to wrestle it away from him. Jude, who had decided that humanity was not yet ready for his "gift", instead decided that Victorius would appreciate it much more so he reached our for Victorius. When Jude, Victorius, the Man-Thing, and the Cube were all in contact with each other, Jude and Victorius were transformed into a crystal whose radiations have life-enhancing effects.
