Jimmy Woo
Few Marvel characters carry a legacy quite like Jimmy Woo — a sharp, tenacious FBI agent who stepped onto the scene in 1956's Yellow Claw #1, making him one of the rare figures whose roots stretch all the way back to the Golden Age. Created by Al Feldstein and Joe Maneely, he's spent nearly seven decades proving his staying power across landmark series like Strange Tales, Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and even Godzilla, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, Venus, and Spider-Man himself. With 112 catalog appearances and four key issues to his name, Jimmy is the kind of quietly essential Marvel figure that serious collectors and continuity lovers alike have come to treasure. If you've never followed his long, winding path through Marvel history, now is absolutely the time to start digging.
