Stiletto
Sharp-dressed and dangerous, Stiletto cut onto the Bronze Age Marvel scene in 1984 courtesy of Tony Isabella and Greg LaRocque in Power Man and Iron Fist #110, arriving with the kind of menacing presence that keeps collectors hunting back-issue bins. Over a surprisingly durable 32-year span, this villain earned affiliations with both A.I.M. and the notorious Batroc's Brigade, running in genuinely rough company — sharing pages with the likes of Captain America, Sam Wilson, and Rock Python across titles including Captain America, Black Panther, and The Amazing Spider-Man. Thirteen catalog appearances and one key issue to their name make Stiletto a compact but rewarding deep-cut for fans who love the texture of Marvel's street-level and supervillain underworld — proof that not every memorable Bronze Age bad guy needs a household name to leave a mark.
