Puller

Puller is a student superhero from the ensemble cast of Image Comics' Freshmen, a comedic series about college students who gain unusual powers. As the name implies, Puller's abilities contrast with teammate Pusher's, fitting the series' irreverent, character-pairing sensibility.

Emerging from Image Comics' mid-2000s wave of fresh superhero voices, Puller made their debut in the 2005 Freshmen preview, brought to life by writer Hugh Sterbakov and artist Leonard Kirk. Part of a colorful ensemble that includes the likes of Pusher, Puppeteer, and The Beaver, this character inhabits the irreverent, character-driven world of Freshmen — a Modern Age series with a distinctly offbeat sensibility. Puller's appearances stretch across the main series, the Summer Vacation Special, and the Freshmen Yearbook, making them a consistent presence in this compact but charming corner of comics history — well worth seeking out for fans who love discovering the hidden gems of early 21st-century Image.
