Shumai

A creature of the shadows in Marvel's Bronze Age, Shumai surfaces in the pages of the beloved 1984 limited series Kitty Pryde and Wolverine — a fan-favorite corner of the X-Men world crafted by Chris Claremont and Allen Milgrom. With only four appearances to their name, Shumai is a rare, blink-and-you'll-miss-it figure who nonetheless keeps genuinely compelling company, sharing the page with Kitty Pryde, Wolverine, and the formidable Ogun. For collectors who love hunting the margins of a classic Bronze Age gem, Shumai is exactly the kind of elusive background character that makes deep-dive reading so rewarding.
