Hardcase

Hardcase is a superhero of the Ultraverse, Malibu's shared universe. A former Hollywood stuntman turned ultra (superhuman), he uses his enhanced abilities and combat experience to fight threats across the Ultraverse, often crossing paths with fellow heroes like Prime.

Malibu Comics' early-'90s superhero boom had no shortage of bold new faces, but Hardcase stands out as one of the imprint's most compelling figures — a character born in 1993 from the creative talents of Gerard Jones, Len Strazewski, and Norm Breyfogle, right at the heart of the Ultraverse. Carrying his own self-titled series while crossing paths with heavyweights like Prime and Kevin Green, Hardcase clearly occupied a central place in Malibu's ambitious shared universe. That eclectic publishing footprint — from his home title to the playful normalman - Megaton Man Special — hints at a character with real range and staying power within the line. For collectors hunting the Ultraverse's finest, Hardcase is exactly the kind of cornerstone figure worth tracking down.
