Cole

Stepping onto the cosmic stage in 2004's Thanos #7, Cole is a Modern Age Marvel creation brought to life by the formidable team of Keith Giffen and Ron Lim. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Cole is a rare find — the kind of deep-cut character who surfaces in truly rarefied company, sharing pages with the Mad Titan himself, Star-Lord, and the imperious Kallark, better known as Gladiator. That's a remarkable orbit for any character, and for collectors who love hunting the corners of Marvel's cosmic universe, Cole is exactly the sort of intriguing discovery that makes digging through a longbox so rewarding.
