Michael
A figure born from the fractured, high-stakes world of Marvel's Modern Age, Michael stepped onto the page in 2000 within the pages of Bishop: The Last X-Man, a series that pushed storytelling into bold, dystopian territory. Sharing adventures with the likes of Lucas Bishop, Scorch, Jinx, and Link, Michael inhabits a corner of the Marvel Universe that rewards readers who love their comics edgy and atmospheric. With a footprint that extends to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005, this character carries the distinction of existing across some genuinely fascinating fictional terrain. Nine appearances make Michael a rare find — exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds collectors why hunting through early 2000s Marvel is always worth the effort.
