Rebel

Rebel is a character from Dark Horse Comics' Comics' Greatest World initiative, a 1993 effort to build a shared superhero universe. Inhabiting the Arcadia region of that setting alongside characters like Barb Wire, Rebel was introduced as part of that interconnected world's street-level cast.

Emerging from Dark Horse Comics' early-1990s universe-building ambitions, Rebel made their debut in 1993 courtesy of the creative pairing of Jerry Prosser and Adam Hughes — a combination of storytelling and artistic talent that signals this was no throwaway introduction. Part of the rich Comics' Greatest World tapestry, Rebel shares the page with compelling Dark Horse figures like Barb Wire and Monster, placing them firmly in one of that era's most ambitious attempts to forge a unified superhero cosmos outside the Big Two. With a key-issue appearance among their slim but significant catalog and their own dedicated Comics' Greatest World title to their name, Rebel is exactly the kind of hidden gem that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into the Copper/Modern Age's most adventurous corners.
