Prophet

A super-soldier engineered during World War II and placed in suspended animation, Prophet was eventually reawakened in the modern era, emerging as a powerful warrior operating in the Image Comics universe after debuting in Rob Liefeld's Youngblood.

Few characters embody the wild, boundary-pushing energy of early Image Comics quite like Prophet, who burst onto the scene in 1992 courtesy of creator Bob Schochet. Emerging at the height of the Copper/Modern Age — when Image was rewriting the rules of superhero publishing — Prophet has proven to be one of the imprint's more durable figures, racking up 97 catalog appearances across an impressive 33-year span that stretches all the way to 2025. His adventures have played out most prominently across the pages of Prophet, Brigade, and Bloodstrike, placing him squarely in the gritty, high-octane corner of the Image universe alongside the likes of Shaft, Supreme, and Jackson Kirby. With two key-issue appearances that collectors still seek out, Prophet is exactly the kind of deep-catalog gem that rewards the dedicated fan willing to dig into one of comics' most creatively explosive eras.
