George Blair

Peter David and Larry Stroman introduced George Blair to Marvel readers in 1992's X-Factor #75, dropping him into one of the Copper Age's most celebrated mutant titles right alongside heavy-hitters like Beast, Cyclops, and the memorably named Gorgeous George. His appearances are collected in prestige volumes — the X-Factor Epic Collection and the X-Factor by Peter David Omnibus — which speaks to the lasting esteem in which that era of storytelling is held. With a publishing history that quietly stretches all the way to 2024, George Blair is a testament to how even supporting figures from that fertile early-'90s X-universe can endure in the margins of Marvel history, waiting to be rediscovered by dedicated fans digging deep into the omnibus runs.
