Radian

Stepping out of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's landmark Modern Age run on New X-Men, Radian made their debut in 2003 — one of the most celebrated and boundary-pushing periods in Marvel's mutant mythology. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, elusive figure whose very scarcity makes them a curiosity worth hunting down, especially given that one of those appearances carries genuine key-issue weight. Sharing pages with the likes of Scott Summers, Logan, Ernst, Glob Herman, and Phoebe Cuckoo places Radian squarely within the dense, imaginative world Morrison was building — a world that still resonates with collectors today. For fans who love digging into the corners of the Morrison New X-Men era, Radian is exactly the kind of hidden gem that rewards a deep dive.
