Hank

Born from the visionary minds of Jim Krueger and Alex Ross in 1997's Earth X Special Edition, Hank is a Marvel character rooted in the ambitious, painterly reimagining of the Marvel Universe that defined the Earth X saga. Though his catalog footprint is compact — just five appearances across the series — he moves in rarefied company, sharing pages with titans like Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Iron Man, and Daredevil. That one key-issue appearance signals he's no throwaway face in the crowd; in the grand, apocalyptic tapestry Ross and Krueger wove, every presence carries weight. For collectors drawn to the late '90s Marvel renaissance and the prestige of Earth X's oversized storytelling, Hank is a quiet piece of a landmark puzzle worth seeking out.
