Lockup

Born into the pages of The Uncanny X-Men #232 in 1988, Lockup emerged during the Copper Age under the creative partnership of Chris Claremont and Marc Silvestri — one of the most celebrated runs in Marvel history. With affiliations spanning both the Brood and the X-Men, this character occupies a fascinatingly complex corner of the mutant universe, sharing the page with heavy hitters like Storm, Logan, and Scott Summers. The catalog footprint is small but meaningful, with a key-issue debut that collectors still take note of — sometimes the most intriguing figures are the ones hiding in the margins of greatness.
