Who is Magnum?

Moses Magnum is a ruthless arms dealer and mercenary whose criminal empire brought him into conflict with Carol Danvers (Ms. Marvel). He wields powerful seismic abilities, capable of generating devastating earthquakes, making him a formidable threat to heroes and governments alike.

Bursting onto the scene in the Bronze Age pages of Ms. Marvel #11 in 1977 β€” courtesy of the formidable creative trio of Chris Claremont, Sal Buscema, and Frank Giacoia β€” Magnum is a Marvel creation with roots in one of the most fertile eras of superhero storytelling. This villain has kept genuinely electrifying company over the decades, sharing adventures with Carol Danvers herself alongside the likes of Hellfire, Hydron, and Hecate. What's remarkable is that a character born in the late '70s was still turning up in Marvel books as recently as 2017, a span of roughly forty years that speaks to a stubborn staying power in the Marvel Universe. With appearances in both Ms. Marvel and Thor: Gods & Deviants, Magnum is a satisfying deep-cut discovery for the dedicated Bronze Age collector.
