Who is Pisces?

Pisces is a member of the Zodiac, a villainous criminal syndicate whose members each take on the identity of an astrological sign. Representing the fish sign, Pisces operates alongside fellow Zodiac members in schemes against the Avengers and other Marvel heroes.

Born from the imagination of Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema in the pages of The Avengers #72 (1970), Pisces is a Silver Age Marvel creation with a distinctly cosmic identity β€” one of the zodiac-themed figures who has swum through the Marvel Universe alongside fellow celestial characters like Leo, Taurus, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Aquarius. Though their catalog footprint is compact at seven appearances, two of those carry key-issue weight that collectors take seriously, and a presence spanning four decades β€” from the height of the Silver Age all the way to 2010 β€” speaks to a character who left a genuine impression on Marvel's mythology. Enshrined in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z, Pisces is exactly the kind of deep-cut Silver Age gem that rewards the curious fan willing to dive into the Avengers back catalog.
