Genii

Springing from the Copper Age Marvel universe in 1988, Genii made their debut in the pages of The Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #8, brought to life by the legendary team of Gerry Conway and Mark Bagley during one of comics' most creatively fertile periods. A figure whose catalog footprint stretches a surprising 23 years — from 1988 all the way to 2011 — Genii is one of those intriguing Marvel rarities who surfaces across eclectic corners of the universe, from Marvel Comics Presents to Eternals Annual, keeping company with characters like Gregor Buhkarov, Chi Lo, and the enigmatic Harvest. With only ten recorded appearances, Genii is a genuine deep-cut discovery — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader who loves to excavate the rich, sprawling margins of the Marvel cosmos.
