Boris

Boris is a loyal servant of Doctor Doom, a trusted retainer who has served within Castle Doom and the Latverian royal household. Though an ordinary man with no powers, his unwavering devotion to Doom and connection to Doom's family makes him a rare constant in the villain's personal life.

Few supporting characters carry the weight of legacy quite like Boris — a Silver Age Marvel creation who made his quiet debut in Marvel Super-Heroes #20 in 1969, brought to life by the combined talents of Hank Chapman, Russ Heath, and Carl Burgos. Across a remarkable 55-year span stretching all the way to 2024, Boris has kept extraordinary company, sharing pages with the likes of Doctor Doom, Reed Richards, and Valeria in some of Marvel's most celebrated corners of the Doom mythos. His appearances cluster around prestige material — Dr. Strange and Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment, the Doctor Doom: Books of Doom collection — which tells you something important: this is a character woven into the serious, literary heart of Doom's world, not its fringes. With only 11 catalog appearances, Boris is a rare figure, the kind of deep-cut discovery that rewards the dedicated collector who wants to understand what truly surrounds one of Marvel's greatest characters.
