Crimson Dynamo

A Cold War-era armored threat stepping straight out of Bronze Age Marvel's most eclectic team book, Crimson Dynamo made their catalog debut in The Champions #8 in 1976, courtesy of creators Bill Mantlo and Bob Hall. With only a handful of recorded appearances, this is a rare and tantalizing figure — the kind of deep-cut character that serious Marvel collectors love to track down. Sharing those pages with the likes of Ghost Rider and Bobby Drake makes for some wonderfully offbeat Bronze Age company, and for anyone digging into the short-lived, lovably unconventional world of The Champions, Crimson Dynamo is exactly the sort of discovery that makes the hunt worthwhile.
