Java

Java is a prehistoric caveman revived and kept as a brutish servant by the wealthy industrialist Simon Stagg, making him a recurring antagonist in Metamorpho's world. Loyal to Stagg and hostile toward Rex Mason, he represents a collision of ancient instinct and modern scheming.

A Silver Age curiosity with genuine collector appeal, Java made their debut in 1968's Super Comics #2401, brought to life by the celebrated creative team of Bob Haney and Ramona Fradon. Published by Classics/Williams, this character exists in a fascinating corner of comics history, sharing the page with the likes of Metamorfo, Rex Mason, and Simon Stagg across a compact but intriguing run. With only seven catalog appearances concentrated in Super Comics and a publication window of just a year or two, Java is the kind of rare, era-specific find that makes digging through Silver Age back issues such a rewarding adventure.
