Klaw

Few villains feel as deeply woven into Marvel's Bronze Age fabric as Klaw, who first stalked the pages of Ka-Zar #20 in 1977, brought to life by the creative team of Doug Moench and Val Mayerik. Over a remarkable 45-year publishing span, this Marvel menace has kept some of the House of Ideas' heaviest hitters on their toes — sharing pages with Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Captain America, among others — and his appearances in landmark runs like Christopher Priest's celebrated Black Panther and Jonathan Hickman's Avengers speak to just how durable a threat he's proven to be. With a key collector's issue among his appearances and a legacy stretching from the Bronze Age into the 2020s, Klaw is a villain whose place in Marvel history is as persistent as it is formidable.
