Smasher

Smasher is one of the Imperial Guard, the elite military force serving the Shi'ar Empire, who first clashed with the X-Men when the Guard was dispatched to enforce the will of Emperor D'Ken. Possessing superhuman strength and durability, Smasher has loyally served the Shi'ar across many cosmic conflicts.

Born in the Bronze Age cosmos of Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum's imagination, Smasher first stormed onto the scene in The X-Men #107 in 1977 as a proud member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard — one of Marvel's most gloriously alien fighting forces. Across nearly five decades of adventures, this cosmic warrior has kept extraordinary company, sharing pages with the likes of Gladiator, Oracle, and Scott Summers in the pages of Uncanny X-Men and even Guardians of the Galaxy. With two collector-recognized key issues to their name and a publishing history stretching from the Bronze Age all the way to 2024, Smasher is a testament to the enduring appeal of Marvel's sprawling interstellar mythology. If you love the grand, star-spanning side of the Marvel Universe, this is a character whose appearances are absolutely worth tracking down.
