Emperor Selim

A shadowy presence in the Marvel Modern Age, Emperor Selim made his entrance in 2022's Miles Morales: Spider-Man #38, brought to life by the creative team of Saladin Ahmed, Christopher Allen, and Alberto Foche. With a title like "Emperor," this figure carries an unmistakable weight of power and authority within the pages of one of Marvel's most celebrated contemporary series. His world is a compelling one — he shares the page with Miles Morales, Spider-Man, and intriguingly titled figures like General Ganke Lee and Captán Billie Morales, suggesting a richly layered corner of the Marvel universe worth exploring. Still early in his comics life, Emperor Selim is exactly the kind of character that rewards readers who get in on the ground floor.
