Strongman

Few characters carry their name quite so literally as Strongman, who burst onto the Silver Age scene in The Mighty Heroes #1 in 1967 — part of Marvel's wonderfully offbeat corner of the universe populated by the likes of Dusty Storm, Diaperman, and the unforgettable Cuckooman. The Mighty Heroes franchise kept this powerhouse in print across an impressive stretch running all the way to 1998, a span of some thirty-one years that speaks to a devoted following for this particular brand of Marvel fun. With a catalog presence that's genuinely rare, Strongman is a collector's discovery — the kind of Silver Age gem that rewards the curious fan who digs a little deeper into Marvel's more playful, irreverent side.
