Mr. Rasputin

Few characters can claim a debut as seismic as Mr. Rasputin's — stepping onto the page in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975), one of the most celebrated key issues in Marvel history and the Bronze Age milestone that reshaped superhero comics for generations. Created by the legendary trio of Chris Claremont, Len Wein, and Dave Cockrum, Mr. Rasputin shares that landmark spotlight with some of the most iconic names in the X-Men's storied roster — Logan, Ororo Munroe, Scott Summers, and Bobby Drake among them. With appearances stretching across fifty years of Marvel publishing and a presence in Giant-Size X-Men and Wolverine and the X-Men Magazine, this is a character whose place in comics history is anchored to one of the hobby's most prized single issues. For collectors and X-Men devotees alike, that 1975 debut alone makes Mr. Rasputin a name worth knowing.
