Axecutioner

Few villains make an entrance quite like Axecutioner, who burst onto the scene in 1993's Sachs & Violens #1, brought to life by the formidable creative pairing of writer Peter David and legendary artist George Pérez. This Marvel Copper/Modern Age antagonist haunts one of the era's grittier limited series, sharing its pages with the hard-edged duo of J. J. Sachs and Ernie "Violens" Schultz. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Axecutioner is a rare, concentrated dose of early-'90s Marvel edge — the kind of deep-cut character that rewards fans who love digging past the mainstream into the darker corners of the era.
