Sénateur Robert Kelly

Born from the creative partnership of Chris Claremont and John Byrne, Sénateur Robert Kelly made his Bronze Age entrance in Spécial Strange #30 in 1982 — a French-language publication from Editions Lug that brought Marvel's mutant universe to a whole new audience. Across nearly four decades of appearances through 2019, this politically charged figure has kept electrifying company, sharing pages with the likes of Tornade, Logan, Ororo Munroe, Peter Raspoutine, and Scott Summers in titles spanning Spécial Strange, Wolverine, and X-Men Saga. With at least one key collector issue to his name, Sénateur Robert Kelly stands as a fascinating thread woven through the fabric of the X-Men's world — proof that in mutantkind's ongoing saga, the corridors of power matter just as much as the battlefield.
