Doctor Mayhem

A villain worth knowing from the early 1990s, Doctor Mayhem burst onto the scene in 1992 as the antagonist driving the action in Marvel's Defenders of Dynatron City — a wonderfully offbeat Copper Age series brought to life by the creative team of Gary Winnick, Steve Purcell, and Frank Cirocco. With a roster of heroes like Jet Headstrong, Buzzsaw Girl, Atom Ed, Toolbox, and Wendy Weedwacker standing against him, this is clearly a book with personality to spare. Rare and compact at just four catalogued appearances, Doctor Mayhem is a genuine curio for collectors who love the quirkier corners of Marvel's expansive universe.
