Harness

Harness is a mercenary operative who first clashed with the New Mutants and New Warriors, working alongside a companion called Piecemeal to harvest mutant energy for mysterious purposes.

Debuting in the pages of The New Mutants Annual #7 in 1991, Harness is a Copper/Modern Age Marvel creation from writer Fabian Nicieza and artist Guang Yap — a duo who knew how to craft figures that lingered in readers' memories. With appearances stretching across some thirty years and a footprint in the annuals of both the New Mutants and New Warriors titles, this character occupies an intriguing corner of early-'90s Marvel, sharing panels with the likes of Domino, Boom-Boom, Tabitha Smith, and Scott Summers. The catalog count may be modest, but one of those appearances carries key-issue weight — always a mark worth noting for the discerning collector hunting the full story of Marvel's annuals era.
