Puishannt

Emerging from the Bronze Age Marvel cosmos in The Defenders #97 (1981) — courtesy of the creative team of J. M. DeMatteis, Don Perlin, and Joe Sinnott — Puishannt is one of those deliciously obscure figures that rewards the deep-diving collector. With a name that crackles with otherworldly menace, this character keeps genuinely remarkable company: sharing pages with the likes of Mephisto, Patsy Walker, and enigmatic beings like Unnthinnk, Fashima, and Hyppokri, Puishannt clearly inhabits Marvel's stranger, more mystical corners. Rare as they come with only a handful of catalog appearances stretching across an impressive 26-year span into 2007, including a slot in the arcane Mystic Arcana: The Book of Marvel Magic, Puishannt is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes Marvel's Bronze Age so endlessly worth exploring.
