Scourge

A mysterious presence lurking in the shadows of Marvel's Copper Age, Scourge debuted in 1989's Captain America #351, brought to life by the legendary Mark Gruenwald alongside artists Kieron Dwyer and Al Milgrom. Sharing the page with heavy hitters like Captain America, Steve Rogers, Diamondback, and Dum Dum Dugan, this is a character who moves in serious company from the very start. Though their catalog footprint is small, the Captain America corner of the Marvel Universe is a rich and storied one, and any figure woven into that world across nearly three decades carries real weight. For collectors hunting the deeper cuts of Cap's rogues' gallery and supporting cast, Scourge is a name worth tracking down.
