Who is Cypher?

Doug Ramsey is a mutant gifted with the power to instantly understand and translate any language, written or spoken — including alien and computer codes. A member of the New Mutants, his seemingly passive ability proved deceptively vital to the team's missions.

Born in the fertile Bronze Age of 1985, Cypher made their debut in Titans #83 under the hands of the legendary creative duo Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz — a pedigree that alone signals something special. Published by Editions Lug across a remarkable 35-year span, this character keeps extraordinary company, sharing pages with the likes of Doug Ramsey, Dani Moonstar, Warlock, and Illyana Raspoutine across titles including X-Men Select and Spécial Strange. With 35 catalog appearances stretching from 1985 to 2020, Cypher is a quietly enduring presence in the French-market comics landscape — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig a little deeper.
