General Ching

General Ching is a Cold War-era villain who operates within A.I.M., the sinister scientific cartel, alongside dangerous figures like Franz Cadavus and Iron-Hand Hauptmann. A shadowy schemer rather than a physical threat, he thrives on espionage and global intrigue.

A shadowy operator lurking in the corners of Marvel's Silver Age, General Ching made his entrance in Captain America #102 back in 1968 — right in the thick of that era's globe-trotting Cold War intrigue. Affiliated with the sinister scientific cartel A.I.M., he's the kind of villain who thrives in the company of dangerous figures like Franz Cadavus, Iron-Hand Hauptmann, and Ivan Krushki, a rogue's gallery that tells you everything about the world he inhabits. His appearances stretch across nearly five decades and touch titles as varied as Astonishing Tales and even Brian Michael Bendis's Avengers run, making him a quietly persistent presence in Marvel's universe. With 12 catalog appearances and at least one key issue to his name, General Ching is a rewarding discovery for collectors who love digging into the espionage-flavored underbelly of the Silver Age.
