Grannz

Grannz is a member of the Imperial Guard, the elite warrior corps serving the Shi'ar Empire, who first appeared during the landmark Dark Phoenix Saga. This alien soldier stands among formidable intergalactic combatants defending Shi'ar imperial interests across the cosmos.

Grannz made their Marvel debut in one of the most celebrated single issues of the Bronze Age — The X-Men #137 (1980), a collector's cornerstone crafted by the legendary team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne. A member of the Imperial Guard and the vast Shi'ar empire's formidable forces, Grannz keeps rarefied company alongside cosmic heavyweights like Kallark, Smasher, and Oracle. Over 45 years of Marvel history, this intergalactic warrior has surfaced across The Uncanny X-Men, All-New X-Men, and even Guardians of the Galaxy — a quiet testament to the enduring reach of Shi'ar mythology through Marvel's cosmic landscape.
