Ranaq

Ranaq is a Marvel menace who slithered out of the Bronze Age in John Byrne's landmark Alpha Flight #18 (1985), a debut that collectors still flag as a key issue. Rare in the catalog but genuinely memorable, this entity has crossed paths with heavy hitters like Snowbird, Puck, and Elizabeth Twoyoungmen across both Alpha Flight and Amazing X-Men — formidable company by any measure. With appearances spanning nearly three decades from 1985 to 2014, Ranaq is the kind of deep-cut Marvel presence that rewards the curious fan willing to dig past the household names.
