Outrider is a fictional character appearing in Marvel Comics, primarily as an antagonist. They are genetically engineered beings created by Thanos to serve as scouts and shock troops.

Each Outrider possesses superhuman strength, speed, and agility, exceeding that of a normal human. Their most notable ability is their shapeshifting prowess. They can alter their appearance to blend into crowds and take on different forms, allowing them to infiltrate and gather information for Thanos.

Outriders typically operate in packs, launching surprise attacks and overwhelming their opponents with sheer numbers. Their primary function is to clear the path for Thanos's larger invasion forces. They are fiercely loyal and completely devoted to their creator's goals.

The Outriders played a significant role in the "Infinity" storyline, where they were deployed across the galaxy to conquer planets and retrieve the Infinity Stones. They also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film, *Avengers: Infinity War*, serving a similar purpose as Thanos's vanguard.
