Armada

A creature of the late 1990s Modern Age, Armada burst onto the scene in Spider-Man #6 (1997), conjured by the talented Dan Jurgens for Panini France's corner of the Marvel universe. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare and intriguing figure whose brief existence puts them in striking company — sharing pages with the likes of Ben Reilly and the notorious Quentin Beck, better known as Mystério. Scarce appearances can make a character all the more compelling to the dedicated collector, and Armada is precisely the kind of elusive find that rewards those willing to dig a little deeper into the international edges of Spider-Man's world.
