Faarooq

Faarooq is a comics adaptation of the real-life WWE professional wrestler, appearing in the wrestling-licensed comic series built around The Undertaker and fellow WWE Superstars.

Stepping out of the squared circle and onto the comics page, Faarooq made his debut in Undertaker #6 back in 1999, brought to life by Beau Smith and Manny Clark in what was already shaping up to be a wild era for wrestling-licensed comics. Published under NBM, this Modern Age figure has kept remarkably durable company across more than two decades of comics history — sharing pages with titans like The Undertaker, Triple H, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose in titles spanning from WWE Superstars to WWE The New Day: Power of Positivity. It's a testament to the character's staying power that a catalog run stretching from 1999 all the way to 2022 keeps finding room for Faarooq alongside some of the biggest names in WWE comics lore. For collectors who love the intersection of professional wrestling and sequential art, this is a name worth tracking down.
