Michael Carlin (b. October 6, 1958) is a comic book writer and editor. He worked principally for Marvel Comics and DC Comics in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, and is currently an executive editor at DC Comics. Mike Carlin started out in the business at Marvel Comics as a writer and artist on Crazy magazine. He later became an assistant editor under Mark Gruenwald, and also wrote a short run of stories in Captain America as well as the infamous Assistant Editors Month issue of Marvel Team-Up (Aunt May and Franklin Richards vs. Galactus). Carlin moved to DC in the mid 1980s, where he became Superman group editor. He is currently an executive editor at DC Comics. Carlin appears as "the Supreme Being" in Superman: The Man of Steel #75, bringing Mr. Mxyzptlk back to life. In The Batman Adventures — the first DC Comics spinoff of Batman: The Animated Series — Carlin appears as The Mastermind, leader of a screwball trio of incompetent super-villains that also includes Mr. Nice (a caricature of Archie Goodwin) and The Perfesser (a caricature of Dennis O'Neil).
