Hound

Burst onto the scene in 2022's Avengers Forever #2, courtesy of the creative team of Jason Aaron and Jim Towe, Hound is a sharp Modern Age addition to Marvel's ever-expanding cosmos. With appearances across Avengers Forever, Avengers, and Avengers Assemble Alpha, this character inhabits some of the most ambitious Avengers storytelling of the era, sharing pages with heavy hitters like King Killmonger, Raven Darkhölme, Logan, Dark Phoenix, and Ghost Goblin — seriously striking company by any measure. Still relatively rare in the catalog at nine appearances, Hound carries that coveted early-issue mystique that makes completionists and Modern Age collectors sit up and take notice.
