Jonathan Swift

A Modern Age Marvel creation with a name that carries literary weight, Jonathan Swift made his comics debut in Heroes for Hire #3 in 2006, brought to life by the creative team of Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, Francis Portela, and Billy Tucci. Though his catalog footprint is compact, his appearances span a surprisingly broad stretch of Marvel history — from the mid-2000s through the 2020s — touching titles as varied as Valkyrie: Jane Foster and Venom, and sharing pages with a colorful cast that includes Tarantula, Humbug, and Valkyrie herself. One of his issues carries key-issue status, making him a quiet but collector-worthy corner of the Marvel universe worth tracking down.
