Static

Stepping onto the scene in the landmark X-Men #100 — itself a collector-recognized key issue — Static made their Modern Age Marvel debut courtesy of the acclaimed creative team of Chris Claremont and Leinil Francis Yu. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, enigmatic presence in the X-Men corner of the Marvel Universe, sharing pages with the likes of Kurt Wagner, Colossus, and Neal Shaara. Brief but intriguing, Static is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through early 2000s X-Men back issues such a rewarding hunt.
