Vulture

Few villains in the Marvel Universe carry the weight of history quite like Vulture — a Silver Age predator who first spread his wings in Marvelmania Magazine #1 in 1969, brought to life by the legendary Jack Kirby. Over more than five decades of continuous appearances, this airborne menace has proven himself one of Spider-Man's most enduring adversaries, haunting the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man with a persistence that has earned him four key-issue appearances worthy of any serious collector's attention. His 127 catalogued appearances stretch all the way to 2026, spanning titles as varied as Miles Morales: Spider-Man and Punisher War Journal, proof that his reach extends well beyond any single corner of the Marvel universe. If the company he keeps tells you anything — sharing pages with Peter Parker, Otto Octavius, Kraven the Hunter, Electro, and J. Jonah Jameson — Vulture belongs squarely among the heavyweights of Marvel's rogues' gallery, and he's absolutely worth tracking down.
