Colin McKay

Born into the pages of Chris Claremont and Alan Davis's Excalibur #2 in 1988, Colin McKay is a Copper Age Marvel creation who emerged from one of the most beloved and eccentric corners of the X-Men universe. Across a modest but enduring 36-year presence — with appearances stretching into 2024 — he's kept remarkable company, sharing adventures with the likes of Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, and Meggan in titles like Excalibur and the collector-significant X-Men: Fatal Attractions. He may not be a household name, but with a key issue to his credit and the fingerprints of Claremont and Davis on his creation, Colin McKay is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through the Excalibur run so rewarding for devoted Marvel fans.
