Soar

Soar swooped onto the Marvel scene in 1990, part of the Copper Age's imaginative wave of high-concept storytelling, debuting in Brute Force #1 under the creative hands of Simon Furman and José Delbo. Sharing those early pages with a colorful cast including Hip Hop, Wreckless, Surfstreak, Lionheart, and Dr. Randall Pierce, Soar is one of those wonderfully offbeat characters that makes digging through early-'90s Marvel back issues such a rewarding adventure. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Soar is a genuine hidden gem — the kind of discovery that reminds collectors why Brute Force deserves a second look.
