Who is Patch?

Patch is the undercover alias used by Wolverine (Logan) while operating in the lawless Southeast Asian port city of Madripoor. Donning a distinctive eye patch and forsaking his X-Men identity, he navigates the city's criminal underworld while maintaining a tenuous secret identity.

Debuting in the pages of Wolverine #2 in 1988, Patch is a Copper Age Marvel creation who has quietly persisted across an impressive 36 years of comics history. This intriguing figure shares their adventures with a compelling roster of characters β€” Logan, Wolverine, Jessica Drew, Lindsay McCabe, and Archie Corrigan among them β€” suggesting a world steeped in espionage, intrigue, and Marvel's shadowy corners. Turning up across Wolverine, Marvel Comics Presents, and Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Patch occupies a fascinating niche where the spy thriller and superhero genres blur together in the best possible way. For collectors who love digging into the texture of the Marvel Universe beyond the headline acts, Patch is exactly the kind of character who rewards a deeper look.
