Night Rider

A Bronze Age Marvel creation who rode onto the scene in 1981 courtesy of Roger Stern, Jim Shooter, and Jim Mooney, Night Rider is one of those intriguing figures from the edges of the Marvel Universe whose small footprint only adds to the mystique. With just six catalog appearances spanning an impressive three decades, this is a character whose presence is felt in some genuinely collector-worthy corners of Marvel history — including the landmark Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions — rubbing shoulders with the likes of Firebird, Red Wolf, and Texas Twister. That key-issue recognition and the company Night Rider keeps make these appearances well worth tracking down for any serious Bronze Age enthusiast.
