Manuel Ramos

Manuel Ramos stepped onto the Marvel stage in the landmark 1998 relaunch of Black Panther — a debut issue so significant it's earned genuine key-issue status among collectors — brought to life by the celebrated creative team of Christopher Priest, Joe Quesada, and Mark Texeira. His story unfolds across the pages of that acclaimed modern run, sharing the spotlight with some heavy hitters: Black Panther himself, the enigmatic Nakia, and even the infernal Mephisto. A compact but collector-notable presence in one of Marvel's most critically celebrated late-'90s titles, Manuel Ramos is a character whose modest appearance count only makes those few pages more worth hunting down.
