Black King

A shadowy power player born in the thick of Marvel's Modern Age, Black King made a striking entrance in Jason Aaron and Carlos Pacheco's X-Men: Schism #1 in 2011 — a landmark issue that cracked the mutant world wide open. Over a run stretching into 2023, this figure moves through some of the X-Men line's most compelling corners, appearing in Marauders and the Trials of X alongside heavy hitters like Emma Frost, Iceman, and the enigmatic Kade Kilgore. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Black King remains a rare, intriguing presence — the kind of character serious collectors love to track down.
