Mark Verheiden is a respected and prolific television, movie, and comic book writer. He joined the production team and writing staff of the Re-imagined Series with the second season, initially as a consulting producer and then becoming a co-executive producer mid-way through the season. He continues to serve as a co-executive producer and writer as of the fourth season.
In addition to working on the Re-imagined Series, Verheiden has also contributed TV scripts for The Mask, Timecop, and Smallville television series.
His film work includes writing the story on which the 1994 The Mask film starring Jim Carrey was based, and the script for the original 1993 Timecop feature film starring Jean Claude Van Damme. [1]

Interestingly, it was probably his work on the Predator and Aliens comics that got a character (played by Tommy Flanagan) named after him in the 2004 feature film, Alien vs. Predator.
