Havok

Alex Summers, younger brother of Cyclops, was born a mutant with the ability to absorb ambient cosmic radiation and release it as devastating plasma blasts. He eventually joined the X-Men, struggling to control his destructive power and step out of his famous brother's shadow.

Meet Havok as preserved in the French Marvel universe — a Bronze Age figure whose 1980 debut in Spécial Strange marked the beginning of a remarkable 42-year presence across Editions Lug's beloved line of translated Marvel comics. With 43 catalog appearances spanning Spécial Strange, X-Men Extra, X-Men, and Les étranges, this is a character with genuine staying power in the Franco-Belgian collector's world, and two of those appearances carry key-issue status worth tracking down. Along the way, Havok shares the page with some of Marvel's most iconic figures — Tornade, Ororo Munroe, Alex Summers, Colossus, and Peter Raspoutine — making these issues a treasure trove for fans of the X-Men corner of the Marvel universe in its classic form.
