Angar the Screamer (David Alan Angar, also known as Scream) is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Angar first appeared in Daredevil v1, #100 (June 1973), and was created by Steve Gerber, Gene Colan, and John Tartaglione. Angar also appeared in issues #101 (July 1973), and #105-107 (November 1973-January 1974) of Daredevil.
The character subsequently appeared in Marvel Premiere #25 (October 1975), Iron Fist v1, #1-2 (February-March 1976), 5-7 (June-September 1976), Spider-Woman v1, #34-35 (January-February 1981), 50 (June 1983), Avengers Spotlight #26 (December 1989), 28-29 (January-February 1990), Marvel Comics Presents #97 (1992), Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD v2, #33-35 (March-May 1992), Captain America v1, #411-414 (January-April 1993), and Avengers Unplugged #4 (April 1996). Angar was killed in Thunderbolts Annual '97.
Angar returned a few years later, as an energy being named Scream, and appeared in Thunderbolts #49-56 (April-November 2001), and 58-59 (January-February 2002)
Angar the Screamer received an entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #1.
David Angar was born in San Francisco, California. He became a hippie and a radical social activist, who volunteered for an experiment that would give him superhuman powers. Moondragon provided a crooked lawyer named Kerwin J. Broderick with a machine built on Titan. The machine subjected Angar's vocal cords to a bombardment with hypersound. As a result, Angar could scream very loudly and cause people to hallucinate. Moondragon intended for Angar to be an ally against the mad Titan Thanos, but Broderick hired Angar as an assassin. In his first appearance, Angar tried to kill Daredevil and Black Widow. Angar was defeated and would fight many Marvel superheroes over the years. He tended to attack crowds of civilians for little or no reason.
