John Barnes

A Marvel creation born in the bold, boundary-pushing Heroes Reborn era of 1996, John Barnes stepped onto the page courtesy of the creative team of Rob Liefeld, Jeph Loeb, and Dan Fraga — a debut that planted him firmly in the relaunched, high-octane corner of the Marvel Universe. With just five catalogued appearances spanning an impressive 23 years, he's a rare and intriguing figure who keeps rarefied company indeed, sharing adventures with Captain America, Steve Rogers, and the menacing Red Skull himself. Collectors with a taste for the deeper cuts of Marvel's modern era and a passion for the Captain America corner of the universe will find John Barnes a genuinely compelling discovery hiding in plain sight.
