Doctor Yes

A villain with a name that practically announces his pulpy, spy-thriller ambitions, Doctor Yes made his entrance in 1997's Venom: License to Kill #1, courtesy of Larry Hama and Derec Aucoin — a creative team that knew how to cook up a worthy antagonist. This Modern Age Marvel creation shares his pages with none other than Venom himself, alongside a cast that includes Agent Daryll Smith and the Yesenofsky brothers, giving the whole affair a deliciously Cold War-espionage flavor. Rare and niche with only three catalogued appearances, Doctor Yes is the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated hunter of 90s Marvel corners — a brief but vivid presence in one of the era's more stylishly titled limited series.
