Harpon
Harpoon (Kodiak Noatak) is a mutant mercenary and member of the Marauders, a ruthless team of killers assembled by Mister Sinister. He wields the ability to charge physical harpoons with lethal energy, making him a deadly ranged combatant in the X-Men's rogues gallery.
Born in the pages of Spécial Strange #56 in 1988, Harpon is a Copper Age creation brought to life by the acclaimed team of Ann Nocenti and Arthur Adams, debuting through Editions Lug's beloved French Marvel publications. Over a surprisingly enduring 33-year presence across Spécial Strange, X-Men Extra, and X-Men - La Collection Mutante, this character has kept remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Ororo Munroe, Logan, Malicia, and John Greycrow, placing Harpon squarely in the thick of the mutant world's most charged stories. A character whose catalog footprint may be modest, but whose debut pedigree — Nocenti and Adams are no small names — gives any appearance genuine collector weight. For fans of the French Marvel publishing tradition and the rich Copper Age mutant era, Harpon is a fascinating piece of that distinctive comics heritage.
