Llan the Sorcerer

Few villains arrive with the kind of cosmic menace that Llan the Sorcerer brought to Marvel's Canadian super-team book when James D. Hudnall and John Calimee unleashed him in Alpha Flight #70 in 1989. A creature of the Copper Age at its darkest and most ambitious, Llan cast a long shadow over Alpha Flight during his brief but intense run, pressing Vindicator, Sasquatch, Talisman, and Heather Hudson to their limits. His appearances are few in the catalog, which only adds to the mystique — this is a villain who made every panel count, and for fans of that era's bold, boundary-pushing Marvel storytelling, tracking him down is absolutely worth the hunt.
