Henry Bendix

Henry Bendix is the hard-edged, authoritarian commander of Stormwatch, a United Nations-sponsored team of superhumans. Introduced in Stormwatch #1, he directs the organization's operations with ruthless pragmatism, wielding political power and strategic cunning rather than superhuman abilities.

Henry Bendix made his entrance in the very first issue of Stormwatch back in 1993, arriving at the dawn of the Image Comics revolution alongside co-creators Brandon Choi, Jim Lee, and Scott Clark. A figure of authority and intrigue from the start, he's spent over three decades sharing pages with the likes of Jackson King, Hellstrike, and Nigel Keane across Stormwatch, Codename: Stryke Force, and Gen12 — a roster that speaks to the sprawling, high-stakes world he inhabits. With a key-issue appearance on his résumé and a presence that has endured well into 2025, Bendix is one of those Copper/Modern Age figures who rewards the collector willing to dig into Image's ambitious early universe.
