Dave Cannon

Dave Cannon is a mutant who discovered he could spin his body at extraordinary speeds, earning him the alias Whirlwind. He initially clashed with Ant-Man and the Wasp as the Human Top before embracing his full potential as a rotating powerhouse capable of generating tornadic winds and near-flight.

Born from the fertile imagination of Stan Lee and Larry Lieber in Tales to Astonish #50 (1963), Dave Cannon is a Silver Age Marvel creation who has spun through the decades with remarkable staying power — 114 catalog appearances across 61 years is no small feat. His strongest footprint falls across Avengers, Tales to Astonish, and Invincible Iron Man, placing him squarely in the orbit of some of Marvel's heaviest hitters: Tony Stark, Captain America, and the rest of that legendary company. With 10 collector-recognized key issues to his name, Dave Cannon is exactly the kind of deep-cut Silver Age figure that rewards the curious fan willing to dig past the marquee names.
