Silverback

Silverback prowls into Marvel's Modern Age with a debut in Amazing Spider-Man Family #7 (2009), courtesy of the legendary Spider-Girl creative team of Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz — a pairing that knew a thing or two about crafting memorable corners of the Spider-Man universe. This villain's brief but vivid existence unfolds across Web of Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man Family, sharing pages with Spider-Girl, Peter Parker, and the Parker family drama that made those titles so compelling. Six appearances may make Silverback a rare find in any collection, but sometimes the most intriguing characters are the ones lurking just at the edges of the spotlight.
