Black Lama

A mysterious robed villain who emerged as a shadowy antagonist for Iron Man, Black Lama wielded considerable menace through enigmatic identity and scheming manipulation, operating in connection with the Titanic Three while crossing paths with Tony Stark and his inner circle.

A mysterious villain who slithered out of the Bronze Age Marvel universe in 1974, Black Lama made his mark in the pages of Iron Man, conjured up by the creative team of Mike Friedrich and George Tuska. Affiliated with the Titanic Three, this enigmatic figure cuts a genuinely compelling silhouette against the backdrop of early-'70s Marvel storytelling, sharing those charged pages with Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan, and Iron Man himself. With only a handful of appearances to his name, Black Lama is precisely the kind of deep-cut Bronze Age mystery that rewards the dedicated collector — rare enough to feel like a discovery, and rooted in one of Marvel's most beloved titles.
