Mekano

A Silver Age curio from the earliest days of Marvel's mutant mythos, Mekano made his entrance in 1967's The X-Men #35, conjured by the legendary Roy Thomas and Werner Roth at a moment when the title was still finding its footing. His handful of appearances across thirteen years place him in genuinely storied company — sharing pages with Bobby Drake, Scott Summers, and Hank McCoy in their classic incarnations — which makes even a brief encounter with him a snapshot of Marvel history at its most formative. With appearances in both The X-Men and the British anthology Fantastic!, this rare figure carries the charm of a character who slipped through the cracks of comics history, making him a rewarding discovery for collectors who love the texture of the Silver Age in all its wild, experimental glory.
