Who is Fang?

Fang is a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, the elite squadron that serves the Shi'ar Empire's throne. He first clashed with the X-Men when the Guard was dispatched to enforce the Shi'ar Emperor's will.

Bursting onto the scene in the pages of The X-Men #107 in 1977, Fang is a Bronze Age Marvel creation from the legendary team of Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum β€” the same visionary duo who were busy reshaping mutantkind forever. Connected to the vast cosmic tapestry of the Shi'ar and the Brood, Fang moves in rarefied company, sharing adventures with powerhouses like Storm, Cyclops, and the imposing Gladiator across the star-spanning corners of the Marvel Universe. With appearances stretching across nearly five decades β€” from Uncanny X-Men to Guardians of the Galaxy to Wolverines β€” and a key issue already to their name, Fang is a rewarding discovery for any collector who loves their Bronze Age cosmic Marvel with a little wild-side edge.
