Mordred

Mordred is a Marvel villain rooted in Arthurian myth, an ancient sorcerous schemer whose treachery connects him to Dane Whitman's legacy as the Black Knight. He has menaced both Captain Britain and the Black Knight across the ages.

Born into the Bronze Age with a debut in the pages of Hulk Comic #1 (1979) — courtesy of the legendary creative team of Lee, Lieber, and Kirby — Mordred is a Marvel villain steeped in the mythic tradition, a figure whose dark presence has wound through the publisher's output for over four decades. With key-issue appearances to their name and a roster of co-stars that reads like a who's who of Marvel's heroic elite — Dane Whitman, Captain Britain, Brian Braddock, Hank Pym, and The Black Knight among them — this is a character who has kept genuinely prestigious company across Hulk Comic, Avengers, and Knights of X. Twenty catalog appearances spanning from 1979 all the way to 2022 speak to a staying power that few Bronze Age antagonists can match, and any collector with a taste for Arthurian darkness woven into the Marvel Universe will find Mordred well worth tracking down.
