Isaac Newton

Few figures from history carry the weight of genuine legend the way Isaac Newton does, and Marvel's version — introduced in 1990's Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #21 by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and Jackson Guice — leans right into that mystique, placing the iconic name at the intersection of science, sorcery, and the stranger corners of the Marvel Universe. Over a publishing span stretching from the Copper Age all the way to 2025, this Newton has kept remarkable company: Leonardo da Vinci, Thor, Mephisto, and Brother Voodoo are among those who share his pages, signaling that his world is one of cosmic consequence and occult intrigue. His strongest foothold is in S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Doctor Strange corner of Marvel, where history and the hidden forces shaping it are very much the point. Seven catalog appearances may seem modest, but in Marvel's most esoteric corridors, quality of company counts for everything.
