Tyler Stone is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe.

Fictional character biography

Tyler runs the Alchemax corporation, one of the largest corporate powers in the dystopian 2099 future of Earth. When one of his promising young employees, Miguel O'Hara, develops a troubling conscience over human testings, he has him secretly addicted to the highly potent drug 'Rapture', that he, of course, controls. Miguel's successful efforts to rid himself of the addiction unfortunately create several spider-based powers.

Tyler's son Kron Stone, chronically neglected and physically abused by the family's robot nanny (it believed him to be a dog for a time), grew up to be an amoral murderer. His serial killings take the lives of Jake Gallows' extended family, resulting in his transformation into his era's Punisher. [the Marvel 2099 hero featured in the series "Punisher 2099"] Kron, like many other rich people, has the ability to simply purchase his way out of any legal punishment and does so. This does not save him from death at Jake's hands. However, Tyler has the technological resources to bring his son back to life and does so.

Miguel later infiltrates Tyler's building. He unexpectedly overhears his own mother conversing with Tyler. He then hears he is actually Tyler's son. [In the double-sized "Spider-Man 2099" #25]

Later, Miguel becomes head of Alchemax, just in time for undersea invaders to attack as the polar ice caps melt. Tyler and Miguel's mother perish together in the evacuation of New York

Stone's Mars Colony, called 'Project: Ares', becomes one of the last two outposts of humanity, the Savage Land being the other.
