John Lopez

A minor but intriguing piece of the Marvel mosaic, John Lopez surfaced in the pages of Weapon X in 2003, born from the creative team of Frank Tieri, Keron Grant, and Pop Mhan during the Modern Age's darker, grittier take on mutant mythology. His brief run places him in genuinely compelling company — sharing pages with the likes of Marrow, Washout, and Christoph Nord in a corner of the Marvel Universe where things get decidedly dangerous. Noteworthy enough to earn a mention in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Wolverine 2004, John Lopez may be a rare find in the catalog, but for dedicated collectors, that scarcity is exactly the appeal.
