Who is Todd Arliss?

Bronze Age Marvel has no shortage of compelling villains, and Todd Arliss — who first surfaced in Super-Villain Team-Up #4 in 1976, courtesy of Bill Mantlo, Herb Trimpe, and Jim Mooney — has proven a quietly enduring presence across nearly five decades of storytelling. With 80 catalog appearances and two collector-recognized key issues to his name, Arliss has carved out a genuine niche in the Marvel universe, turning up most frequently in Punisher War Journal, Marvel Comics Presents, and Hulk — a range that speaks to his versatility as a threat. He's kept remarkable company along the way, sharing pages with titans like Captain America, Namor, Spider-Man, the Hulk, and Iron Man, which tells you everything about the weight class he operates in. For fans who love digging into the Bronze Age's rich vein of villainous character work, Todd Arliss is a rewarding discovery.
