Russel

Stepping onto the page in the Copper Age Marvel Universe, Russel made their debut in Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove's X-Terminators #2 in 1988 — a series that crackled with the youthful energy and high-stakes adventure that defined Marvel's mutant titles of that era. With appearances also in The New Mutants, Russel moves through some genuinely beloved corners of late-'80s Marvel, sharing pages with fan favorites like Boom-Boom, Skids, and Artie Maddicks. A rare find with only a handful of catalogued appearances, Russel is the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated collector hunting for every thread of that richly woven mutant tapestry.
