Ben Hammil

Ben Hammil is a student mutant at the Xavier Institute, part of the next generation of young mutants navigating life at the school alongside peers like Match, Anole, and Rockslide.

Ben Hammil stepped onto the Marvel stage in 2005, born from the creative trio of Nunzio DeFilippis, Christina Weir, and Aaron Lopresti in New X-Men #19 — right in the thick of the Modern Age's bold reinvention of mutantkind's next generation. Over nearly two decades, he's carved out a presence across Astonishing X-Men, New X-Men, and Wolverine & the X-Men, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Wolverine alongside fan-favorite student characters such as Match, Anole, and Rockslide. With 16 catalog appearances including one collector-recognized key issue, Ben is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the devoted reader — a genuine piece of the rich, sprawling tapestry that makes Marvel's mutant universe so endlessly worth exploring.
