Donyell Taylor

Donyell Taylor is the half-brother of Dwayne Taylor, the original Night Thrasher, and eventually assumed that mantle himself. He has strong ties to the New Warriors, operating in the street-level corner of the Marvel Universe alongside heroes like Justice and Rage.

Donyell Taylor stepped onto the Marvel stage in 1999, a Modern Age creation from writer Jay Faerber and artist Steve Scott, debuting in the pages of New Warriors and carving out a niche in the scrappier, street-level corner of the Marvel Universe. He's kept genuinely compelling company over the years — sharing adventures with the likes of Night Thrasher, Vance Astrovik, Justice, Tigra, and Elvin Haliday — a roster that speaks to his deep roots in the New Warriors' world and eventual orbit around Avengers: The Initiative. His presence in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z confirms he's a character Marvel considered worth cataloguing for the faithful, and for collectors who love the late-'90s and 2000s era of street-tier heroes, Donyell Taylor is a rewarding deep-dive find.
