Humus Sapien

Born in the pages of Fred Hembeck's beloved Bronze Age humor strip, Humus Sapien made their first appearance in 1980 before eventually finding a more serious home in Marvel's Thunderbolts — quite the character arc across 26 years of publishing history. With appearances alongside the likes of Clint Barton and Jolt, this Marvel curiosity occupies a genuinely unusual corner of the universe, bridging the worlds of comic satire and superhero action. Thirteen catalog appearances may sound modest, but earning a spot in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z signals that Marvel considers Humus Sapien worth enshrining in canon — and that key-issue distinction makes this one worth tracking down for the adventurous collector.
