Who is Scrapper?

Scrapper is a street-smart youth and member of the Newsboy Legion, the classic DC gang of kids who operate under Superman's wing. Introduced during Jack Kirby's run on Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen, he adventures alongside teammates Big Words, Gabby, and Tommy.

Born in the pages of Jack Kirby's legendary Bronze Age run on Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen in 1971, Scrapper arrives with serious pedigree β€” co-created by the King of Comics himself alongside Al Plastino. This DC character moves through some of the most storied corners of the Superman mythos, sharing adventures with Big Words, Gabby, Tommy, and the Man of Steel himself across titles like Adventures of Superman, Superboy, and Countdown to Final Crisis. With a publishing presence stretching nearly four decades to 2008 and two key collector issues to their name, Scrapper may be a compact entry in the catalog but carries the unmistakable weight of Kirby's touch β€” reason enough for any serious DC enthusiast to take notice.
