Who is Smasher?

Smasher is a Marvel hero who emerged during Jonathan Hickman's ambitious Avengers run, operating alongside heavy-hitters like Captain America, Captain Marvel, and Spider-Man during one of the publisher's most expansive cosmic-scale storylines.

Bursting onto the scene in 2013 courtesy of James Asmus and Clay Mann, Smasher is a Modern Age Marvel creation who has rubbed shoulders with some of the heaviest hitters in the Marvel Universe — Captain America, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, and Roberto Da Costa among them. With appearances anchored in Jonathan Hickman's sprawling, ambitious Avengers run and the high-stakes drama of Avengers: Time Runs Out, this is a character forged in one of Marvel's most epic storytelling eras. A key-issue appearance and a footprint stretching across twelve years into 2025 signal that Smasher is more than a footnote — this is a figure worth tracking down for any serious Modern Age collector.
