Leoninus

A creature of Marvel's Bronze Age wilds, Leoninus prowled into comics in 1980's The Incredible Hulk #252, conjured by the formidable team of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema. With only a handful of appearances spread across The Incredible Hulk and Marvel Comics Presents, this rare figure keeps genuinely extraordinary company — sharing pages with the likes of Woodgod, Centaurio, Centauria, Minotaurus, and Viperus, a rogues' gallery of bizarre, mythologically charged Marvel beings that speaks to the era's delicious appetite for the strange and the savage. Leoninus may be a rarity in the catalog, but that scarcity is precisely what makes tracking him down such a rewarding hunt for Bronze Age devotees.
