Alexander Gentry

Few villains from Marvel's Silver Age carry a name as memorable as Alexander Gentry, who burst onto the scene in Tales to Astonish #48 in 1963, conjured by the legendary team of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. A product of that era's wonderfully inventive rogues' gallery, Gentry has kept remarkably distinguished company across nearly six decades of Marvel history, sharing pages with the likes of Captain America and the Beast. With appearances spread across Tales to Astonish, The X-Men, and Captain America, and two collector-recognized key issues to his name, he's a genuine piece of Silver Age fabric — the kind of deep-cut character that reminds you just how richly strange and endlessly surprising the Marvel Universe has always been.
