Payback

Payback made their entrance in the pages of Spider-Man 2099 #24 in 1994, born from the creative partnership of Peter David and Rick Leonardi during a era when Marvel was boldly reimagining its heroes through a futuristic lens. Sharing the page with the likes of Miguel O'Hara and Tyler Stone, this character is woven into the neon-lit, corporate-dystopian world that made the 2099 line such a distinctive corner of the Marvel universe. With appearances stretching all the way to 2023 and a place in the celebrated Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus, Payback may be a rare find in the catalog — but for dedicated fans of that visionary imprint, they're exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery worth tracking down.
