Bloodbath

Bloodbath burst onto the Marvel scene in 1990, a product of that wild Copper Age energy when creators were pushing boundaries and populating the universe with fierce, memorable new faces. Debuting in Brute Force #1 — courtesy of the imaginative team of Simon Furman and José Delbo — this character shares their corner of the Marvel cosmos with a colorfully named crew including Wreckless, Armory, Uproar, Surfstreak, and Tailgunner. It's a compact but punchy legacy, and for collectors with a soft spot for that early-'90s Marvel flavor, tracking down Brute Force is a rewarding dive into a genuinely distinctive slice of the era.
