Black Tom

Stepping out of the Copper Age and into Marvel's mutant-soaked corner of the universe, Black Tom has been a persistent presence since debuting in Avengers West Coast #64 in 1990, courtesy of Terry Kavanagh and Chris Wozniak. Over more than three decades, this Marvel figure has kept remarkably fierce company — sharing pages with the likes of Wolverine, Colossus, Juggernaut, and Domino — placing them squarely in the thick of Marvel's most rugged, hard-hitting stories. With appearances spanning Wolverine, Deadpool: The Circle Chase, and X-Force by Benjamin Percy, Black Tom has proven a durable thread woven through some of the publisher's most beloved modern runs. Eighteen catalog appearances including one collector-recognized key issue make this a character worth tracking down for any fan who loves the grittier, wilder side of the Marvel universe.
