Who is Anthony Power?

Anthony Power is a wealthy, embittered father who blames the U.S. government for the fate of his son, left comatose after serving in Vietnam. His consuming need for vengeance draws him into conflict with Marvel heroes including Spider-Man and Captain America.

Stepping out of the Bronze Age Marvel universe in 1982, Anthony Power made his debut in Marvel Team-Up #117, brought to life by the creative team of J. M. DeMatteis, Herb Trimpe, and Mike Esposito. Over a span of roughly three decades, this Marvel figure carved out a modest but durable presence across titles like Captain America and Essential Defenders, sharing pages with heavy hitters including Captain America, Logan, and Bobby Drake. With six catalog appearances and one recognized key issue to his name, Anthony Power may not be the most prolific character in the Marvel universe, but for collectors who love digging into the rich connective tissue of the Bronze Age β€” and the intriguing company he keeps alongside the enigmatic Professor Power β€” he's a rewarding discovery worth tracking down.
