Who is Kindred?

Kindred is a demonic figure who stalked Peter through Nick Spencer's run (2018–21), knowing his secrets and sins better than Peter did. Mephisto gave it immortality, great strength and command of centipedes, and it can raise the dead, enter dreams and lend power to others. It finally unmasked to Peter with Harry Osborn's face in Amazing Spider-Man vol. 5 #53. A last twist revealed there had been two Kindreds behind the mask all along.
