Garabed Bashur

Garabed Bashur, also known as Black Box, is a mutant information broker who can cyberpathically absorb and process virtually any data, making him a coveted source of intelligence in the dangerous world surrounding mercenaries like Deadpool and Cable.

Garabed Bashur made his Marvel debut in the pages of Deadpool: The Circle Chase #2 in 1993, born from the creative partnership of Fabian Nicieza and a young Joe Madureira right at the dawn of Deadpool's solo career. Over the following three decades, he carved out a recurring presence in the chaotic world surrounding Wade Wilson and Nathan Summers, keeping company with some of Marvel's most irreverent and hard-hitting characters — Deadpool, Cable, and Domino among them. His longest home has been Cable & Deadpool, that wonderfully odd-couple series that proved two fan favorites are even better together, and the fact that Bashur has orbited that world consistently since 1993 speaks to a staying power that casual readers might overlook. For collectors tracing the full, gloriously messy tapestry of Deadpool's corner of the Marvel universe, Bashur is one of those rewarding supporting figures who rewards the deep dive.
