Meteor

Meteor burst onto the scene in 2012's First X-Men, a Modern Age Marvel creation brought to life by the legendary Neal Adams and Christos Gage. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, tightly focused character whose story unfolds in close company with heavy hitters like Logan and an eclectic cast including Yeti, Bomb, and Lyle Doome. The First X-Men miniseries itself is a collector's gem — a deep-dive into Marvel mutant prehistory — and Meteor is one of its intriguing pieces. If you love hunting the corners of the X-Men universe for figures who exist just beyond the spotlight, Meteor is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
