Bloodsword

Bloodsword carved out a place in Marvel's future-shocked landscape when Peter David and Rick Leonardi introduced the character in Spider-Man 2099 #15 in 1994, right in the thick of the Copper/Modern Age's bold world-building ambitions. Rooted in the dystopian 2099 universe, this character shares the page with the likes of Miguel O'Hara, Dana D'Angelo, and Gabriel O'Hara — a who's who of that visionary corner of Marvel's timeline. With appearances collected across Spider-Man 2099 Classic and the handsome Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus, Bloodsword has a tidy but genuine footprint in one of Marvel's most imaginative alternate futures. A compact presence with a cool name and serious pedigree, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes diving into the 2099 saga so rewarding.
