Who is Scavenger?

Scavenger is an alien creature that debuted as a threat faced by the Fantastic Four, a monstrous being driven by a consuming hunger to devour matter and energy, making it a destructive force the team struggled to contain.

Hatched from the imagination of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby at the height of the Silver Age, Scavenger made their Marvel debut in the pages of Fantastic Four #70 in 1968 β€” a collector-notable issue straight out of one of comics' most legendary creative runs. Over roughly thirteen years, this character carved out a modest but memorable corner of the Marvel universe, appearing across Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four Annual, and Marvel Two-in-One, sharing pages with icons like Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Susan Storm Richards, and the ever-blazing Human Torch. With a team affiliation tied to the First Family of Marvel themselves, Scavenger is a genuine Silver Age artifact β€” the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into the Kirby-Lee era at its most inventive and expansive.
