Ord Zyonz

Debuting in the Bronze Age pages of The Incredible Hulk #247 (1980) under the creative hands of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, Ord Zyonz is one of Marvel's quietly enduring cosmic figures — a character whose 25 appearances stretch across an impressive 44 years and touch some of the publisher's most landmark cosmic events. Most at home in the sweeping, star-spanning pages of Silver Surfer, Secret Wars II, and Infinity Gauntlet, Ord Zyonz keeps extraordinary company, sharing adventures with the likes of Thor, Captain America, and the enigmatic Tryco Slatterus. With at least one key collector-significant issue to their name, this is exactly the kind of deep-cosmos Marvel character that rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig into the grand, galaxy-hopping Bronze Age tradition.
