Who is Evo?

Evo is a member of DV8, the morally compromised counterpart team to Gen¹³ in the Wildstorm corner of Image Comics. Unlike the relatively heroic Gen-Active teenagers of Gen¹³, DV8's roster operates in ethically darker territory, making Evo a dangerous and volatile figure among similarly ruthless peers.

Bursting onto the scene in 1996's Gen 13 #7, Evo is a product of Image Comics' wildly creative Modern Age, when boundary-pushing concepts and edgy ensemble casts ruled the stands. This character carved out a niche across DV8, Gen 13, and DV8 vs. Black Ops, running with a dangerous crowd that includes the likes of Frostbite, Copycat, and Gem Antonelli. The DV8 corner of the Image universe was never exactly a safe neighborhood, and Evo fits right into that volatile, morally complicated world. A compact but intriguing presence in the catalog, Evo is a rewarding discovery for anyone diving deep into the overlooked gems of late-'90s Image.
