Skeleton Ki

A creature of the early '90s Marvel universe, Skeleton Ki made their bone-chilling debut in Marvel Comics Presents #125 in 1993, brought to life by Kelly Corvese and Dave Hoover at the height of the Copper/Modern Age's appetite for dark, edgy characters. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, elusive figure — the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes longtime Marvel readers feel like true detectives. Sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and Iron Fist speaks to the electric, anything-goes energy of Marvel Comics Presents, that beloved anthology where the unexpected always lurked around the corner. Skeleton Ki may be a fleeting presence, but for collectors hunting the corners of Marvel's rich tapestry, that's precisely the appeal.
