Midas

Born in the Silver Age pages of Iron Man #17 (1969) under the skilled hands of Archie Goodwin and George Tuska, Midas is one of Marvel's more intriguing figures — a character whose very name evokes ambition and excess. Sharing the page with the likes of Tony Stark, Madame Masque, and Giuletta Nefaria across appearances in both Iron Man and Ultimates, this character has brushed up against some of Marvel's most compelling players across a remarkable span stretching all the way to 2026. With a collector-significant key issue to their name and a legacy that quietly endures across nearly six decades, Midas is the kind of deep-cut Marvel character that rewards the curious fan willing to dig into the rich, sprawling tapestry of the House of Ideas.
