Manipulator

Debuting in the pages of Captain Britain #37 in 1977, Manipulator is a Bronze Age creation from the Marvel UK stable — that distinctive British wing of the Marvel universe that gave the iconic Captain Britain his earliest adventures. Crafted by Len Wein, Larry Lieber, and Ron Wilson, this character emerged from a wonderfully pulpy era of comics storytelling, sharing pages with Captain Britain himself, the roguish Highwayman, and a colourful cast of characters that made Marvel UK's output so memorably distinct from its American counterpart. With appearances stretching across an impressive 44 years and collected in the handsome Captain Britain Omnibus, Manipulator may be a figure of relatively few appearances, but that longevity — and at least one collector-significant key issue — makes them a genuine prize for fans digging into the rich, often underappreciated world of British Marvel.
