Century

Century is a composite being created from the memories and abilities of an entire alien race, forged into a single entity to serve as a living repository of his people's legacy. Armed with the mystical staff Parallax, he joined Earth's Force Works team after finding his way to our world.

Bursting onto the scene in 1994's Force Works #1 — itself a collector-recognized key issue — Century is a Copper/Modern Age Marvel creation from the acclaimed team of Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, and Tom Tenney, arriving at a moment when Marvel was pushing bold new directions. Sharing adventures with heavy-hitters like Spider-Woman, U.S. Agent, and Scarlet Witch, Century cuts a distinctive figure in the Marvel cosmos, most at home in the pages of Force Works and Marvel Comics Presents. With nearly three decades of appearances stretching from 1994 to 2023, this is a character whose quiet persistence rewards the curious collector willing to dig a little deeper into Marvel's rich modern era.
