Morgan Stryker

Few characters capture the raw ambition of Image Comics' explosive 1992 launch quite like Morgan Stryker, who burst onto the scene in Cyberforce #1 courtesy of Marc Silvestri and Eric Silvestri. A fixture of the Copper/Modern Age, Stryker proved substantial enough to headline his own series in Codename: Stryke Force while remaining a cornerstone of the Cyberforce universe, sharing pages with fan favorites like Ripclaw, Cyblade, and Boomer O'Shea across 77 catalog appearances spanning an impressive 32 years. Three of those appearances carry key-issue status, a testament to his significance in the early Image era, and his presence in the crossover Shattered Image shows just how deeply woven into that publisher's DNA he became. If you're building out your Image Comics history, Morgan Stryker is an essential piece of the puzzle.
