Fred (nicknamed Fredzilla) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a member of the superhero team Big Hero 6.

The character appears in the 2014 animated film Big Hero 6 and the video game Kingdom Hearts III, voiced by T.J. Miller and in the subsequent animated series by Brooks Wheelan. This version is a human who wields a fire-breathing dragon suit.

The character was created by Chris Claremont and David Nakayama and first appeared in Big Hero 6 #1 (September 2008). He along with Wasabi-No-Ginger were meant to serve as replacements for then-current members Sunpyre and Ebon Samurai.

Fred is descended from the Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, and spent part of his childhood on a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base. He later joins Big Hero 6 using his ability to transform into a dinosaur-like kaiju.

During the Ends of the Earth storyline, Fred and Big Hero 6 are among the heroes who assist Spider-Man in taking down Doctor Octopus' satellites. They battle Everwraith, a humanoid embodiment of those killed in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki who is guarding one of Doctor Octopus' facilities.

Fred can transform into a Godzilla-like Kaiju. In addition, he can generate an aura that manifests an image of the Kaiju without transforming.

In 2020, Comic Book Resources (CBR) ranked Fred 9th in their "Marvel Comics: Ranking Every Member Of Big Hero 6 From Weakest To Most Powerful" list.

Fred appears in the Walt Disney Animation Studios 2014 animated film Big Hero 6, voiced by T. J. Miller. This version is American and the mascot at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Speaking of Miller, co-director Chris Williams said "He's a real student of comedy. There are a lot of layers to his performance, so Fred ended up becoming a richer character than anyone expected."

Fred considers himself a "major science enthusiast" and is always asking his friends to build and design things that are outside the laws of probability. Fred has a blue dragon suit built for him by Hiro Hamada which allows him to leap great distances and shoot fire. During the film, Fred's friends learn that he is incredibly wealthy, resulting in him providing the financial support and necessary training for them to become superheroes. In the post-credits scene, Fred discovers that his father (voiced by and modeled after Stan Lee) is a retired superhero after he unexpectedly returns from vacation. As they embrace each other, Fred's father says that he and Fred have much to talk about.

Fred appears in Big Hero 6: The Series, voiced by Brooks Wheelan. He pushes the team to continue crime fighting and he comes up with the name "Big Hero 6." In the episode "Mini-Max", it is shown that Fred has an uncontrollable destructive side when no one is fighting crime with him, resulting in Hiro designing a "sidekick" (really a nanny of sorts) named Mini-Max.

In the second season, Fred gets a new chameleon outfit dubbed "Fredmeleon" which is equipped with an adhesive and elongated tongue and allows him to cling to walls and become invisible. In the third season, Fred gains a love interest in the form of Olivia Mole, the cousin of his archenemy Richardson Mole.

Fred makes a cameo appearance in Once Upon a Studio.
