Mole Man

Harvey Elder, a rejected and ridiculed scientist, retreated underground to become the Mole Man, ruler of Subterranea and its monstrous creatures. He first clashed with the Fantastic Four, whose earliest adventure brought them to Monster Isle and his hidden subterranean kingdom.

A fixture of Marvel's underground mythology, this Mole Man has been haunting the pages of Hachette's German-language editions since 1999, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards, Iron Man, and Tony Stark across titles including Die Fantastischen Vier, Marvel Origins, and Daredevil. Spanning over two decades of publication, he's a reliable presence in this distinctive corner of the Marvel world — the kind of character whose appearances collectors of German Marvel editions will find popping up in some genuinely interesting company. Fifteen catalog appearances may sound modest, but for fans of international Marvel publishing, tracking this version of the subterranean schemer through these editions is a rewarding hunt.
