Kevin Plunder

British nobleman Kevin Plunder discovered the hidden prehistoric land of the Savage Land as a boy after his father led an expedition there. Raised among its primitive peoples and bonded with the sabretooth tiger Zabu, he became Ka-Zar, the jungle lord of that Antarctic wilderness.

Born from the legendary minds of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in The X-Men #10 (1965), Kevin Plunder is a genuine Silver Age Marvel creation whose jungle-adventure spirit has kept him a fixture in the House of Ideas for an extraordinary six decades. His appearances span Astonishing Tales, Ka-Zar, and even Planet of the Apes, painting the portrait of a character versatile and compelling enough to roam across wildly different corners of the Marvel universe. He keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with Zabu, Spider-Man, Captain America, and Peter Parker — and ten of his appearances carry key-issue status, making his run genuinely rewarding for collectors to hunt down. With 235 catalog appearances stretching from 1965 all the way to 2026, Kevin Plunder is the rare Silver Age adventurer who never stopped mattering.
