Ferris

A card-carrying X-Men affiliate, Ferris stepped onto the Marvel stage in the pages of The Uncanny X-Men #350 in 1997 — one of the most talked-about issues of the Modern Age — rubbing shoulders with heavy-hitters like Magneto, Rogue, and Storm. Emerging from the creative team of Steve Seagle, Scott Lobdell, Joe Madureira, and Andy Smith during a era of bold, kinetic X-Men storytelling, Ferris pops up across Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, and even Magneto Rex, suggesting a presence woven into some genuinely consequential corners of the mutant universe. With only a handful of appearances to their name, Ferris is the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through late-'90s X-Men back issues such a rewarding treasure hunt for the dedicated collector.
