Black Talon
A voodoo-powered villain who debuted in Marvel's supernatural era, Black Talon is a sinister sorcerer with the ability to raise and command zombies, bringing him into conflict with mystical heroes like Brother Voodoo.
Born in the Bronze Age shadows of Marvel's Strange Tales #173, Black Talon is one of those deliciously sinister figures who emerged from the era when Marvel was leaning hard into the supernatural and the strange. Conjured by the legendary team of Len Wein and Gene Colan in 1974, this villain has haunted the margins of Marvel's mystical and superheroic corners for nearly five decades, crossing paths with the likes of Brother Voodoo and Captain America along the way. Appearances across Captain America, Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, and the Bendis Avengers collections speak to a villain versatile enough to menace both street-level heroes and cosmic heavy-hitters. A cult figure with a small but persistent footprint — exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes Marvel's Bronze Age so endlessly rewarding to explore.
