Stakar Ogord
Steve Gerber and Sal Buscema introduced Stakar Ogord to Marvel's Bronze Age cosmos in The Defenders #27 (1975), and this far-future figure has been lighting up the Marvel Universe ever since — racking up 71 catalog appearances across a remarkable fifty-year span that stretches all the way to 2025. Most at home in the pages of The Avengers, Marvel Presents, and Guardians of the Galaxy, Stakar keeps extraordinary company: Yondu, Martinex, and Nikki are among the cosmic adventurers who share his adventures, a roster that signals just how deep into Marvel's rich science-fiction mythology this character runs. With three key-issue appearances to his name and a publishing history that bridges the Bronze Age to the modern era, Stakar Ogord is exactly the kind of enduring, under-the-radar gem that reminds collectors why Marvel's cosmic corner rewards serious exploration.
