Who is Chief Examiner?

A curiosity from Marvel's Bronze Age, Chief Examiner made their unlikely debut in the pages of U.S. 1 in 1984, courtesy of Al Milgrom and Frank Springer. What makes this figure genuinely fascinating is the rarefied company they keep — sharing pages with Spider-Man, Wolverine, Storm, and Ororo Munroe across appearances in Quasar and Marvel Fanfare. With a publishing footprint stretching all the way to 2023, this is a character whose quiet persistence in the Marvel universe rewards the dedicated deep-diver willing to hunt through some of the Bronze Age's most eclectic corners.
