Scarlet Scarab

Emerging from the Bronze Age pages of The Invaders #25 in 1978 — courtesy of the legendary Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins — the Scarlet Scarab is one of Marvel's more intriguing international figures, a character whose very debut alongside the likes of Captain America, Namor, and Union Jack signals that they were built for high-stakes wartime adventure from the very first panel. With appearances stretching across an impressive 32 years and a collector-significant key issue to their name, this is a character whose footprint in Marvel history quietly outweighs a modest total page count. If you're drawn to Bronze Age gems with a distinctive flair and a roster of legendary co-stars, the Scarlet Scarab is absolutely worth tracking down.
