Cross

Barry Windsor-Smith brought Cross to life in the pages of Marvel Comics Presents #83 in 1991, right at the cusp of Marvel's Copper and Modern Age — a time when anthology storytelling was at its richest. With only a handful of appearances to their name, Cross is a rare, collector's gem, the kind of character whose scarcity makes each showing feel like a discovery. Sharing those anthology pages with heavy-hitters like Logan, Firestar, and Raven Darkhölme gives Cross some seriously distinguished company, and with Windsor-Smith himself as creator, even a brief existence carries genuine artistic pedigree.
