Gorgon
Gorgon Petragon is an Inhuman born on the hidden city of Attilan, who underwent the Terrigen Mist process that transformed his legs into those of a powerful beast — granting him hooves capable of generating devastating seismic shockwaves with a single stomp. A fierce and loyal warrior, he serves as both a member of the Inhuman Royal Family and a guardian of his people, standing among their greatest frontline defenders.
Few characters carry the weight of Marvel's Silver Age quite like Gorgon, who thundered onto the scene in Fantastic Four #44 in 1965, conjured by the legendary duo of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby at the absolute height of their creative powers. A proud member of both the Inhumans and the Fantastic Four's extended world, Gorgon has shared the page with royalty — Black Bolt, Medusa, Triton, and the full sweep of Attilan's finest — across titles like Fantastic Four, The Inhumans, and Amazing Adventures. With 11 key-issue appearances and a publishing history stretching an remarkable sixty years from 1965 all the way to 2025, this is a character whose staying power speaks for itself. If you're building a serious Marvel collection or simply want to trace the rich, sprawling history of the Inhumans from their very genesis, Gorgon is an essential piece of that magnificent puzzle.
