Soul Man

Debuting in the milestone 400th issue of The Incredible Hulk in 1992 — a landmark moment bearing the legendary names of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko — Soul Man is a Marvel Copper/Modern Age figure who made his entrance in genuinely celebrated company. His corner of the Marvel Universe is a rough-and-tumble one, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Rhino and the scheming Leader, as well as edgier figures like Rock and Jailbait. Though his catalog footprint is modest, he earned a spot in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Hulk 2004, a mark of canonical recognition that serious collectors will appreciate. For fans who love hunting down the deeper cuts of Hulk lore, Soul Man is one of those intriguing background players that makes the Marvel Universe feel genuinely vast and lived-in.
