Who is Hellstrike?

Hellstrike is a member of Stormwatch, the United Nations-sponsored superhuman strike force in the WildStorm universe. A volatile energy-based fighter, he can transform into a being of superheated plasma, making him one of the team's most dangerously unpredictable field operatives.

Born in the pages of Stormwatch #1 in 1993, Hellstrike is a Copper/Modern Age creation from the early Image Comics explosion β€” part of the bold, boundary-pushing wave that Brandon Choi, Jim Lee, and Scott Clark unleashed on the industry. Over roughly two decades, this striking figure carved out a presence across Stormwatch, Codename: Stryke Force, and WildC.A.T.s, sharing the page with the likes of Fuji, Jackson King, and Nikolas Kamarov in some of Image's most kinetic, high-octane storytelling. With a key issue already to their name, Hellstrike is a rewarding discovery for collectors digging into the rich, sprawling mythology that defined Image's early universe β€” a character whose longevity across 20 years speaks for itself.
