Doctor Nemesis
Born in the Golden Age heat of 1943, Doctor Nemesis first stalked the pages of Super-Mystery Comics #6 under the pen of Laurence Morgan — and somehow, this vintage creation has kept pace with Marvel's universe all the way to 2024, an extraordinary eighty-plus-year run that very few characters from that era can claim. With 69 catalog appearances and three key issues to his name, he's far more than a curiosity — he's a genuine survivor, the kind of character collectors love to dig into. His modern adventures have planted him firmly in the X-corner of Marvel, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Wolverine, Colossus, Psylocke, and Cyclops across titles like X-Force, Legion of X, and Cable and X-Force. If you love the thrill of a Golden Age original who somehow became part of Marvel's mutant landscape, Doctor Nemesis is absolutely worth your time.
