General Fist

A hard-edged presence from the waning days of Marvel's Bronze Age, General Fist made his entrance in The Defenders #144 (1985), brought to life by writer Peter B. Gillis and artist Don Perlin. With only a handful of catalog appearances to his name, he's a rare figure — the kind of deep-cut character who crossed paths with the likes of Iceman, Valkyrie, and Cloud during one of Marvel's most eclectic team books. For collectors who love hunting the margins of the Bronze Age, General Fist is exactly the sort of obscure gem that makes The Defenders back-issue bins such a rewarding dig.
