Martynec

A minor but memorable piece of the late-'90s Marvel tapestry, Martynec debuted in X-Force #72 in 1997, brought to life by the acclaimed creative team of John Francis Moore and Adam Pollina during one of that series' most visually distinctive runs. With only a handful of appearances, this is very much a deep-cut character — the kind of background player who gives the world of X-Force its texture and density, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Warpath, Tabitha Smith, and Roberto Da Costa. For collectors hunting every corner of that gritty late Copper/Modern Age era of Marvel, Martynec is exactly the sort of find that makes digging through long boxes worthwhile.
