Bob Paine

Introduced in the pages of Marvel: The Lost Generation #12 in 2000 — itself a key collector's issue — Bob Paine is a Modern Age Marvel character brought to life by the legendary creative team of Roger Stern and John Byrne. His catalog footprint is compact but curated, spanning a quarter-century of Marvel history and touching titles as varied as Doctor Strange and the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Teams 2005, suggesting a figure quietly woven into the broader tapestry of the Marvel Universe. He keeps intriguing company — sharing pages with the likes of Black Fox, Oxbow, Pixie, and Positron — and for fans who love digging into the deeper corners of Marvel's continuity, Bob Paine is exactly the kind of discovery that makes the hunt worthwhile.
