Random

Marshall Evan Stone III is a mutant mercenary who first clashed with X-Factor before eventually becoming an uneasy ally to various mutant factions. His body can generate and project a malleable, liquid-metal-like mass as a weapon.

Peter David and Joe Quesada introduced Random to Marvel readers in 1993's X-Factor #88, and this Copper/Modern Age creation has kept genuinely intriguing company ever since — sharing pages with the likes of Havok, Polaris, and Marshall Stone III across X-Factor, X-Men, and S.W.O.R.D. over more than three decades. With a name like Random, there's an unpredictability baked right into the character's identity, and that restless energy has kept them circling the edges of the Marvel mutant world from the early '90s all the way through 2024. Thirty-plus years of appearances across some of Marvel's most beloved mutant titles is no small thing — Random is one of those characters that rewards the curious collector who digs a little deeper into the rich, sprawling tapestry of the X-universe.
