Mordecai P. Boggs

Mordecai P. Boggs is a minor human supporting character who moves through the orbit of Mar-Vell and other Captain Marvel figures, a civilian eccentric whose unpowered, ordinary nature makes him an unusual recurring presence in that cosmic corner of the Marvel Universe.

A Silver Age curiosity with genuine staying power, Mordecai P. Boggs made his debut in the pages of Captain Marvel #18 in 1969, brought to life by the formidable creative trio of Roy Thomas, Gil Kane, and John Buscema. Over a remarkable span stretching from 1969 all the way to 2021, this Marvel character has kept rarefied company — sharing pages with the likes of Mar-Vell, Carol Danvers, Rick Jones, and even Drax the Destroyer across some of the most celebrated corners of the Captain Marvel corner of the Marvel Universe. With appearances in landmark collections like The Death of Captain Marvel Gallery Edition and The Life of Captain Marvel, Boggs is woven into genuinely historic storytelling territory. Five catalog appearances and a key-issue credit make him a rewarding discovery for the dedicated collector who loves hunting the deeper corners of Silver Age Marvel lore.
