Tiger Shark

Few villains have the staying power of Tiger Shark — a Bronze Age Marvel menace who crashed onto the scene in 1976's Super-Villain Team-Up #4, conjured by the creative team of Bill Mantlo, Herb Trimpe, and Jim Mooney. Over a remarkable fifty-year span, this predator has circled through the pages of Punisher War Journal, Marvel Comics Presents, and Hulk, racking up 80 catalog appearances and a pair of key issues that collectors keep a close eye on. The company he keeps is genuinely elite — sharing pages with Captain America, Namor, Spider-Man, the Hulk, and Iron Man speaks to a villain who operates at the very highest level of the Marvel universe. If you're building out your Bronze Age Marvel shelf, Tiger Shark is exactly the kind of deep-cut threat worth tracking down.
