Who is Scorpion?

A private investigator hired by J. Jonah Jameson, Mac Gargan underwent a dangerous experimental procedure that bonded him to a mechanical scorpion suit, granting him superhuman strength and a powerful tail — and an obsessive vendetta against Spider-Man.

Born in the Bronze Age pages of Strange #18 in 1971, this Scorpion from Editions Lug carries the creative fingerprints of a legendary trio — Stan Lee, Denny O'Neil, and John Romita — a pedigree that immediately signals something worth paying attention to. Over a remarkable span stretching all the way to 2024, this character has woven through more than five decades of comics history, turning up across titles like Miles Morales: Spider-Man and Marvel Méga in the company of heavy hitters including Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Captain America. With two key issues among their appearances, collectors have taken notice, and 22 catalog entries tell the story of a character with genuine staying power. If you're drawn to Bronze Age origins with long legs and serious company, Scorpion is absolutely worth a closer look.
