D.P. 7

In the late 1980s, Marvel Comics launched D.P. 7, a 32-issue series written primarily by Mark Gruenwald and penciled by Paul Ryan. The story follows a group of ordinary people—including Dave Landers, Randy O'Brien, Charly Beck, Scuzz, Stephanie Harrington, and Dennis Cuzinski—who develop strange superhuman abilities and are pursued by a government agency. A grounded, character-driven exploration of power and paranoia, the series stands out for its focus on everyday individuals grappling with extraordinary circumstances, distinct from the company's more traditional superhero fare.
