Who is PowerHouse?

Few characters can claim to have been there at the very beginning of Erik Larsen's legendary creative journey, but PowerHouse is one of them — debuting in Graphic Fantasy #1 way back in 1982, a Bronze Age original who predates Image Comics itself. When Image rose to reshape the industry, PowerHouse came along for the ride, becoming a recurring presence in the sprawling, kinetic world of Savage Dragon across more than four decades of storytelling. With 80 catalogued appearances, three of them recognized as key collector issues, and adventures shared alongside the likes of Mighty Man, SuperPatriot, and Angel Murphy, this is a character deeply woven into one of indie comics' most enduring universes. If you're exploring the rich, wild history of Savage Dragon from its earliest roots to God War and beyond, PowerHouse is a name worth knowing.
