Goldberg

Bill Goldberg, the real-world WWE/WCW wrestling superstar, appears here as a fictionalized comic-book version of himself, placing the legendary undefeated-streak heavyweight champion into superhero-style adventures alongside other professional wrestling personalities.

Stepping out of the squared circle and onto the comic page, Goldberg made his four-color debut in 2000's S.L.A.M. Force #1 — a Modern Age Marvel release brought to life by creators Ruben Diaz, Bill Rosemann, and Michael Ryan that placed real-world wrestling personalities into comic book adventures. Over a surprisingly long publishing footprint stretching nearly two decades, Goldberg has turned up across titles like WWE: Then. Now. Forever. and WWE, sharing panels with a remarkable roster that includes Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Sting, Kevin Nash, Chris Benoit, and even Bruce Banner himself. It's a niche but genuinely fun corner of Marvel history where sports entertainment and superhero comics collide, and for fans of either world, tracking down these appearances is a rewarding little treasure hunt.
