Bloodstorm

Born in the pages of Marvel's Mutant X in 1999, Bloodstorm is a creature of the Copper/Modern Age — a darkly compelling figure who has haunted Marvel's mutant corners for a quarter century. Created by Jay Faerber and Paschalis Ferry, this character carves out a distinctive niche in the wilder, alternate-reality edges of the X-Men universe, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Ororo Munroe, Havok, Hank McCoy, and Bobby Drake. With appearances stretching from 1999 all the way through 2024 and a presence across Mutant X, Mutant X 1999, and X-Men: Blue, Bloodstorm is a cult favorite for readers drawn to Marvel's stranger, shadow-tinged what-ifs — compact in total appearances but enduring in the imagination of fans who know where to look.
