Pulse 8

Emerging from the late-1990s creative powerhouse that was Grant Morrison and Howard Porter's legendary JLA run, Pulse 8 is one of those intriguing figures who haunts the edges of DC's grandest stage. Debuting in 1998 alongside titans like The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern, this character carries the unmistakable energy of an era when DC was swinging for the fences with bold, ambitious storytelling. With appearances spanning JLA and JLA: Classified, Pulse 8 may not have the longest résumé in the catalog, but any character born from that Morrison-Porter collaboration and sharing pages with DC's finest is worth a second look for the serious collector.
