Professeur Phineas T. Horton

A fascinating figure from the edges of Marvel's Modern Age, Professeur Phineas T. Horton made his catalog debut in Thor #13 (2000), brought to life by the formidable creative trio of Roger Stern, Kurt Busiek, and Carlos Pacheco. His appearances — spread across roughly two decades in Panini France's imprint, including prestige collections like Marvel : Les Grandes Sagas and Marvel : Les origines — place him squarely in the world of Marvel's most iconic science-minded storytelling, sharing pages with luminaries such as La Torche Humaine, Jim Hammond, Giant-Man, Hank Pym, and Iron Man. With only four catalog appearances, he's a rare find for the dedicated collector, the kind of character whose scarcity makes each issue he graces feel like a genuine discovery.
