Prodigy

Bursting onto the scene in 1998 courtesy of J. M. DeMatteis and Luke Ross, Prodigy is a Marvel creation who made their debut in the pages of The Spectacular Spider-Man — right in the thick of the celebrated Identity Crisis era — sharing those pages with the likes of Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson-Parker, and Flash Thompson. Though the catalog footprint is compact, Prodigy's appearances are concentrated in some of the most storied Spider-Man titles of the late Copper/Modern Age, making them a genuine piece of that distinctive chapter in Spidey history. For collectors hunting the corners of the Spider-Man mythos, Prodigy is exactly the kind of character who rewards a deeper dig.
