Who is Matthew Plunder?

Matthew Plunder is the son of Ka-Zar and Shanna the She-Devil, born and raised in the Savage Land — Marvel's prehistoric Antarctic wilderness — alongside the legendary sabretooth tiger Zabu.

Born into one of Marvel's most untamed corners of the universe, Matthew Plunder made his debut in The West Coast Avengers Annual #3 in 1988, a Copper Age arrival crafted by Steve Englehart, Al Milgrom, and Gerry Talaoc. Growing up in the pages alongside Ka-Zar, Shanna O'Hara Plunder, and the legendary sabretooth Zabu, Matthew is steeped in the wild, primal atmosphere of the Savage Land from his very first appearance. His modest but steady presence across 34 years — surfacing in titles like Skaar: King of the Savage Land and Ka-Zar — speaks to a character whose roots run deep in Marvel's most exotic territory. With a key issue already to his name and a lineage that places him at the heart of one of the publisher's most beloved adventuring dynasties, Matthew Plunder is a rewarding discovery for any collector who loves the untamed side of the Marvel Universe.
