Metazoid

Metazoid is an alien creature encountered by Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) in the cosmic corner of the Marvel Universe, inhabiting a high-stakes, star-spanning world that also involves figures like Ronan the Accuser.

A creature of the Silver Age cosmos, Metazoid burst onto the scene in 1968 within the pages of Marvel's Space-Born Superhero! Captain Marvel #5, conjured by the imaginative pairing of Arnold Drake and Don Heck. This Marvel oddity shares its corner of the universe with some genuinely heavy hitters — Mar-Vell, Ronan the Accuser, and even Iron Man — which tells you something about the high-stakes, star-spanning world this character inhabits. Rare appearances make Metazoid something of a hidden gem for dedicated Silver Age hunters, the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds you how wonderfully strange and expansive the Marvel cosmos was in its early, boundary-pushing years.
