Jun Tenta

Debuting in the landmark New Mutants #100 in 1991 — one of the most collectible single issues of the Copper Age — Jun Tenta is a Marvel figure who emerged right at the explosive, high-energy moment when Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza were reshaping the mutant corner of the Marvel universe. A rare character whose appearances stretch across roughly two decades, Jun Tenta keeps striking company, sharing pages with the likes of Domino, Rusty Collins, and Sally Blevins across titles including Cable: Blood and Metal and Cable: Second Genesis. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Jun Tenta is precisely the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through early-'90s Marvel back issues such a rewarding hunt for the dedicated collector.
