St'vaan Jr.

A denizen of Marvel's alternate realms, St'vaan Jr. stepped onto the scene in 2000 with the launch of Avataars: Covenant of the Shield, a Modern Age miniseries conjured by writer Len Kaminski and artist Oscar Jimenez that carved out its own distinctive corner of the Marvel universe. With only a handful of appearances to their name — including a nod in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 — this is precisely the kind of rare, deep-cut character that makes digging through Marvel's back catalog such a rewarding adventure. St'vaan Jr. shares those pages with the likes of Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Captain Avalon, which speaks to the ambitious, fan-pleasing spirit of the series. A true collector's find for anyone drawn to Marvel's more unconventional, world-building storytelling of the early 2000s.
