Scorch

Bursting onto the scene in 2000 courtesy of Joseph Harris, Charlie Adlard, and Georges Jeanty, Scorch is a Modern Age Marvel creation who made their mark in the pages of Bishop: The Last X-Man — a series that pushed into darker, more dystopian corners of the Marvel Universe. With a catalog presence that includes X-Men Universe and a spot in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005, Scorch is very much a character shaped by the fringes and futures of Marvel's mutant mythology. Sharing adventures alongside Bishop, Jinx, Link, and others, this is the kind of compact, era-specific figure that rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig into the grittier side of early 2000s X-Men storytelling.
