Melvin Potter

Melvin Potter is the Gladiator, a skilled costume designer and criminal who turned his craft into a deadly arsenal — outfitting himself with razor-edged spinning blades to battle Daredevil in the Marvel Universe.

Melvin Potter made his Brazilian comics debut in 1982 through Editora Abril's Superaventuras Marvel, placing him squarely in the Bronze Age of comics publishing in Brazil. Across a catalog run stretching some three decades, he keeps remarkably distinguished company — sharing pages with the likes of Matt Murdock, Wilson Fisk, Foggy Nelson, and even the legendary Conan. His appearances are concentrated in Editora Abril's flagship Marvel titles, Superaventuras Marvel and Marvel Série II, making him a figure tied to that beloved era of Brazilian Marvel publishing. With nine catalog appearances and three decades of presence, he's a rewarding find for collectors with a taste for the richer corners of Brazilian comics history.
