Paul E. Dangerously

Fast-talking, suited, and always working an angle, Paul E. Dangerously made his Marvel Comics debut in 1992's WCW World Championship Wrestling #1, courtesy of creators Mike Lackey and Ron Wilson. Born at the dawn of the Modern Age, this slick manager-type brought his real-world wrestling persona to the page, keeping colorful company alongside the likes of Sting, Arn Anderson, Ron Simmons, and "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton across Marvel's short-lived but fondly remembered WCW comics line. With appearances spread across the main series, World Championship Wrestling, and the WCW World Championship Wrestling Annual 1993, he's a genuine piece of early-'90s comics history — a niche gem for collectors who love the crossroads where professional wrestling and four-color storytelling briefly, brilliantly collided.
