Agent O'Donnell

A minor but memorable corner of Marvel's early 1990s landscape, Agent O'Donnell stepped onto the scene in 1990's Brute Force #2, courtesy of writer Simon Furman and artist José Delbo. Sharing those pages with an eclectic cast that includes Charlie Sutton, Wreckless, Surfstreak, Dr. Randall Pierce, and Hip Hop, O'Donnell is part of one of the more offbeat corners of the Copper Age Marvel universe. With only a handful of appearances to their name, this is the kind of character that rewards the dedicated hunter of deep-cut back issues — a small but genuine piece of a quirky, fondly remembered series.
