Christopher Yost is a film, animation and comic book writer best known as the head writer of the Marvel animated series The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and co-writer (with his frequent collaborator Craig Kyle) of the comic book series New X-Men and X-Force.

Career

Yost began his career in 2002 as an intern in Marvel Comics' west coast office. His spec film scripts got attention from Marvel executives who hired Yost to write episodes of the TV series X-Men: Evolution. In 2003, Yost and Kyle co-wrote the episodes that introduced mutant character X-23, female clone of the popular X-Men character Wolverine. Marvel executives were impressed with X-23’s reception on TV, and asked Yost and Kyle to adapt the character into comics, first by writing a six-issue mini-series titled X-23: Innocence Lost, and then by taking over writing chores (as of issue #20) on the New X-Men title, bringing X-23 in as a regular character. Yost and Kyle also co-wrote a second X-23 six-issue miniseries, titled X-23: Target X.

Yost co-wrote X-Force with Craig Kyle after the New X-Men title ended at issue #46. Yost also wrote a five-issue mini-series titled Emperor Vulcan, a spin-off mini from the Uncanny X-Men story arc "The Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire", featuring the third Summers brother, Gabriel (alias Vulcan), in his quest to bring stability to the struggling Shi'ar Empire after his successful coup d'etat against previous empress Lilandra.^[1][2] He followed this up with the Kingbreaker mini-series,^[3] which sets the scene for the War of Kings storyline^[4] Yost also wrote Ender's Game: Battle School, the first in a series of adaptations of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game by Marvel.^[5]

Outside of Marvel, Yost has written several other comics including Red Robin from DC Comics^[6] and his own creator owned series Killer of Demons from Image Comics^[7]

Yost has also written for such animated shows as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Batman and was the story editor and head writer on the Fantastic Four animated series that aired on Cartoon Network in 2006 as well as Iron Man: Armored Adventures. He is the head writer of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes currently airing from on Disney XD from Marvel Animation.

Yost is currently working in the Marvel Feature Film Writers Program.^{[citation needed]}
