Mal Donalbain

Mal Donalbain steps out of Marvel's early Bronze Age as one of the intriguing figures who helped launch The Cat #1 in 1972 — a debut crafted by the formidable team of Roy Thomas, Linda Fite, and Marie Severin. With a presence that has quietly persisted across fifty years of Marvel history, this character punches well above their slim appearance count, with two of those three catalog entries recognized as collector-significant key issues. Donalbain keeps genuinely distinguished company — sharing pages with the likes of Greer Nelson, Mister Fantastic, Susan Storm Richards, and Tigra across the halls of The Avengers and beyond — which speaks to a character woven into the fabric of Marvel's broader universe rather than confined to a single corner of it.
