Rufus Carter

Rufus Carter stepped onto the Marvel stage in 1981, born from the Bronze Age creative partnership of Doug Moench and Mike Zeck during their celebrated run on Master of Kung Fu — one of the era's most stylish and atmospheric titles. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, Carter is a rare find, the kind of supporting figure who shares pages with an intriguing cast including Shang-Chi, Black Jack Tarr, and Leiko Wu. His presence across a span stretching all the way to 2017 — including the handsome Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu Omnibus — means dedicated collectors hunting complete runs will cross his path, a small but genuine piece of Marvel's martial arts golden moment.
