Baron Blood

Few corners of Marvel's mystical underworld feel as genuinely dangerous as the one Baron Blood inhabits — a Copper Age creation who stepped onto the scene in 1990 courtesy of Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and Jackson Guice, landing in the pages of Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme among some of the heaviest hitters in Marvel's occult hierarchy. Sharing those shadowed pages with Doctor Strange himself, Victor Strange, and the enigmatic Morgana Blessing speaks to the rarefied, supernatural company this character keeps. Over a publishing span stretching from 1990 all the way to 2021, Baron Blood has proven a persistent presence in Marvel's darker corners, appearing across the Doctor Strange line including its annuals and epic collections. Eleven catalog appearances may sound select, but in the world of sorcery and shadow, it's quality of company — not quantity — that marks a character worth seeking out.
