Who is Javelin?

Javelin made their Marvel debut in the pages of Rom #20 in 1981, stepping onto the Bronze Age stage courtesy of the legendary creative team of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema — the very duo who made that series one of Marvel's most beloved cult runs. Sharing adventures alongside the likes of Rom, Starshine, and Hammerhand, Javelin is woven into the fabric of one of the era's most distinctive cosmic corners of the Marvel Universe. With appearances collected in both the Rom Epic Collection and the Rom: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus, this character is accessible to any fan ready to dive into that rich, strange, wonderfully ambitious Bronze Age saga. Eleven appearances may sound modest, but in a series this devoted and this beloved by its readership, every character carries real weight.
