Bloodtide

Bloodtide surfaced in the pages of New Thunderbolts #1 in 2005, brought to life by the powerhouse creative trio of Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza, and Tom Grummett during Marvel's Modern Age. With a presence stretching across fourteen years of Marvel continuity, this aquatic-sounding villain has kept some remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Eric Brooks, Janet Van Dyne, and Sea Leopard across titles including Avengers and New Thunderbolts. Bloodtide's inclusion in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z confirms a character worthy of the completist's attention, a deep-cut Marvel figure whose legacy quietly endures beyond their modest page count.
