Predator

Born in the Bronze Age Marvel universe, Predator made their debut in Cloak and Dagger #3 (1983), courtesy of creators Bill Mantlo and Rick Leonardi — a creative team with serious street-level credibility. With a compact but intriguing footprint across Strange Tales and The Mutant Misadventures of Cloak and Dagger, this character orbits some genuinely compelling company: Tyrone Johnson, Tandy Bowen, and even Doctor Strange himself share those pages. Seven appearances may be a tight run, but for collectors who love hunting the corners of the Bronze Age Marvel universe, Predator is exactly the kind of hidden figure that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
