What Marvel's Jessica Jones Cast Look Like In The Comics
11. Michael Kozlov
In The Comics:
In line with Jessica Jones' penchant for re-imagining the most obscure characters from Marvel's titles, the character of Miklos Kozlov was taken from the earliest works of Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and Dick Ayers, from Strange Tales #83, in which he encounters an ancient dragon Grogg. He was a freedom fighter in Western Europe, who was forced by the Soviets to work on Atomic testing sites, after they found out he was also a scientist. He eventually escaped the dragon Grogg and the Soviet Union, and migrated to the USA, where he changed his name to Michael.
In The TV Series:
A little different from his classic comics counterpart, Michael Kozlov is a scientist involved with IGH and its experiments, creating combat drugs for soldiers like Will Simpson. Though he welcomed Simpson back into IGH in season one, Simpson defected with a number of the enhancing drugs, before being captured once more at the end of the season. Season two sees Jessica investigating Kozlov's involvement in the experiments that gained her powers, before finding out Kozlov died in a 'car crash', revealed to be orchestrated by Alisa Jones. He's portrayed by Thomas Kopache in season one.
