Criminal, also known as Philip "Phil" Sheldon, is a minor villain in Marvel Comics, primarily associated with Spider-Man. He debuted in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #48 (1980).

Sheldon's criminal career is largely defined by his incompetence. He's a small-time crook, often involved in petty thefts and scams. He's more of a nuisance than a significant threat, frequently foiled by Spider-Man's interventions. Despite his lack of skill, he persists in his criminal endeavors.

Criminal's lack of notable skills or powers beyond standard human abilities contribute to his low-tier status. He relies primarily on opportunistic crimes and rarely poses a serious challenge to established heroes. His appearances are infrequent, primarily serving as comedic relief or filler villains in Spider-Man stories.
