S.H.O.C.

Bursting onto the scene in 1997 courtesy of Howard Mackie and John Romita Jr., S.H.O.C. is a Marvel creation from the modern age who made their debut in the pages of Spider-Man #76 — a first appearance that puts them squarely in the company of some seriously heavy hitters. Their catalog trail winds through Spider-Man and Wolverine territory, meaning this character has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Logan, The Spot, and Gorgon. Rare enough to feel like a genuine find for the dedicated collector, S.H.O.C. is the kind of deep-cut Marvel figure that rewards the fan who loves digging past the household names into the rich, sprawling corners of the universe.
