Flambe

A creature of the Copper Age's wilder edges, Flambe made their Marvel debut in 1992 courtesy of the acclaimed Peter David and artist Larry Stroman in the pages of X-Factor — a series that was never shy about populating its world with genuinely strange and memorable figures. With a name that practically crackles with heat, Flambe shares the page with an intriguing cast including Wolfsbane, Briquette, and Tremolo, the kind of company that signals this character belongs to Marvel's more offbeat corners. Appearances stretching across nearly three decades — surfacing again in Reign of X — suggest Flambe has quietly endured where flashier one-offs have long been forgotten, making those six catalog appearances worth hunting down for any dedicated X-completist.
