Who is Bentley-23?

Bentley-23 is a young clone of the villainous Wizard, created as his heir and potential successor. Raised among the Future Foundation — the school for exceptional children founded by Reed Richards — he struggles to define himself beyond his engineered legacy.

A pint-sized prodigy born from the pages of Jonathan Hickman's celebrated FF run in 2011, Bentley-23 is one of the Modern Age's most intriguing young Marvel characters — a kid with a legacy as complicated as any in the Marvel Universe. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Dragon Man, Leech, and Alex Power across FF and Fantastic Four, he's embedded in some of the richest ensemble storytelling Marvel has offered in recent memory. With appearances stretching into the 2020s and a debut in a title that collectors still seek out, Bentley-23 is a rewarding discovery for anyone digging into Marvel's modern era at its most ambitious and imaginative.
