Who is Battalion?

Battalion is a superhuman operative who served with Stormwatch, the United Nations-sponsored team of empowered agents, working alongside teammates such as Jackson King, Fuji, and Hellstrike to handle threats beyond conventional military capability.

Battalion burst onto the scene in 1993's Image Zero #0, a debut that planted this character firmly at the ground floor of Image Comics' bold early era. Over a remarkable twenty-year run, Battalion became a recurring presence across titles like Stormwatch and Codename: Stryke Force, sharing pages with a compelling cast that includes Jackson King, Fuji, Hellstrike, and Nigel Keane. With two key-issue appearances to their name and nearly three decades of publication history, Battalion is exactly the kind of deep-catalog Copper/Modern Age figure that rewards the collector willing to dig into Image's rich, sprawling universe.
