Sikorsky

Sikorsky is a small insectoid alien who first appeared as a medic aboard the Starjammer, the spacecraft crewed by the space pirates known as the Starjammers. Encountered by the X-Men in deep space, the diminutive creature serves as a skilled physician tending to crew and allies alike.

Born from the Bronze Age imagination of Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, Sikorsky made their Marvel debut in The Uncanny X-Men #156 in 1982 — stepping into a cosmic corner of the Marvel Universe teeming with interstellar adventure. With affiliations spanning the X-Men, the Starjammers, the New Mutants, and even the Brood, this is a character who has navigated some of the most wildly diverse corners of Marvel's galaxy. Across 41 years of publication in titles like The Uncanny X-Men, The New Mutants, and Cyclops, Sikorsky has kept remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Corsair, Ch'od, Hepzibah, and the Summers family themselves. A collector's key issue and four decades of appearances make Sikorsky a rewarding discovery for fans who love the cosmic, alien-tinged side of X-Men lore.
