The Enclave is a fictional subversive organization of dictatorially-minded scientists featured in comics published by Marvel Comics. The characters are a part of the Marvel Universe. The Enclave was founded by four scientists: Dr. Jerome Hamilton, an American medical biologist (now deceased), Maris Morlak, a Lithuanian nuclear physicist, Professor Wladyslav Shinsky, a Polish geneticist, and Carlo Zota, a Spanish electronics technician. They are responsible for the creation of Him/Adam Warlock and Paragon/Her/Kismet.

The Enclave once unsuccessfully attempted to conquer the Inhumans' Great Refuge.

Crucible is the supervillain identity used by Maris Morlak and Professor Wladyslav Shinsky, two members of the Enclave. Crucible went after Mister Fantastic in a plot to steal his inventive genius and kick-start the Enclave's genetics program. They wore identical suits of power armor, forged by the same monks who forged Doctor Doom's armor, which have the ability to transmute the shape and composition of materials.

In the Ultimate Extinction miniseries, it was revealed that a group of scientists rented a radio telescope, applied their own algorithms to it, and were able to see a 'processional entity' (the creature known as Gah-Lak-Tus, the Ultimate version of Galactus) which would arrive within 20 years. To fight the entity when it arrived, they hired Heather Moon, a contract killer (and the Ultimate version of the Avenger Moondragon), cloned her, and raised the clones to be an army against Gah-Lak-Tus. The clones refer to the scientists as 'the Enclave', but it also operates as the Paragon Corporation.
