Who is Oddball?

Oddball is a Marvel villain and skilled juggler who uses razor-edged and explosive balls as weapons. A member of Batroc's Brigade, he debuted as an adversary of Hawkeye and has clashed with street-level heroes including Captain America.

Juggling chaos since 1983, Oddball is one of the Bronze Age's more delightfully offbeat Marvel villains, debuting in Mark Gruenwald and Eliot Brown's Hawkeye #3 before carving out a niche as a recurring thorn in the side of Marvel's street-level heroes. A member of both A.I.M. and Batroc's Brigade, this character runs in genuinely dangerous circles — sharing pages with the likes of Georges Batroc, Bombshell, and Steve Rogers himself across Captain America, Hawkeye, and beyond. With appearances stretching all the way to 2024, Oddball has proven surprisingly durable for a villain who might seem like a wild card, and any collector who loves the grittier, more grounded corners of the Marvel Universe will find this one worth tracking down.
