Link

A product of Marvel's bold Modern Age experimentation, Link debuted in 2000's Bishop: The Last X-Man #4, conjured by the creative team of Joseph Harris, Charlie Adlard, and Georges Jeanty. This intriguing figure carved out a niche in one of Marvel's more distinctive corners, sharing pages with the likes of Bishop, Jinx, Scorch, and Michael across a run that stretched into the mid-2000s. Rare enough to feel like a genuine discovery — with just nine catalog appearances and a notable entry in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 — Link is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into the wilder edges of the X-Men's extended universe.
