Mauler (an acronym for Mobile Armored Utility Laser-guided E-beam, Revised) is a name used by two fictional characters that appear in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The first version appears in Daredevil #167 (Nov. 1980) and was created by David Michelinie and Frank Miller. The second character first appears in Iron Man #156 (March 1982) and was created by David Michelinie; John Romita, Jr. and Pablo Marcos.

The Mauler debuted in Daredevil #167 (Nov. 1980) although the character died the same issue. The armour was stolen and used by a petty criminal in Daredevil #176 (Nov. 1981) before it reappeared (being used by a mercenary) in Iron Man #156 (March 1982).

The character reappeared with the armour in Marvel Team-Up #136 (Dec. 1983) and Spectacular Spider-Man #122 (Jan. 1987) before it was retrieved by Iron Man in Iron Man #225 (Dec. 1987). Other significant appearances included What If? #8 (Dec. 1989); Alpha Flight #113 (Oct. 1992) and Iron Man Annual #16 (1995). The Mauler also featured briefly in Civil War: War Crimes #1 (Feb. 2007) and Avengers: The Initiative #13 (July 2008).

Aaron Soames, the first Mauler, was an elderly, former employee of Cord Conglomerate deprived of his pension benefits by a computer error. Soames stole the prototype suit of Mauler armor in the hopes of punishing Edwin Cord, who was indifferent to Soames' plight. Soames had two skirmishes with the hero Daredevil, and after humiliating Cord by symbolically erasing his existence as well by destroying his driver's license, credit cards and other means of personal identification (he did not intend to do him any actual harm), he was killed with advanced weaponry by Cord's men. Daredevil was one of the few mourners at Soames' funeral.

Mauler has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
