Who Are 5 Superheroes Unique to Dark Horse Comics?

Dark Horse has produced some genuinely distinctive superheroes over the decades! Here are five worth knowing: Ghost (Elisa Cameron), a spectral vigilante who debuted in 1993 and became one of Dark Horse's most beloved characters. X is a brutal, near-mythic masked vigilante who targets criminals in the corrupt city of Arcadia — no mercy, no exceptions. Barb Wire is a tough-as-nails nightclub owner and mercenary operative from Steel Harbor, later adapted into a 1996 film. The Mask — yes, before the Jim Carrey movie, there was the original dark, ultraviolent comic antihero Stanley Ipkiss wielding a chaos-reality-warping ancient artifact. And Hellboy, Mike Mignola's iconic half-demon paranormal investigator, remains Dark Horse's crown jewel — a towering figure in independent superhero comics with dozens of miniseries to his name.
