Stuart Clarke

Stuart Clarke is a Marvel Comics character who debuted in The Champions #5 (1976). A brilliant but embittered inventor, he clashed with the Champions after turning his engineering genius toward criminal ends under the alias Rampage, donning a powerful exoskeleton suit of his own design.

Stuart Clarke made his Marvel debut in the Bronze Age pages of The Champions #5 (1976), courtesy of creators Tony Isabella, Don Heck, and John Tartag — a solid origin for a character who would quietly accumulate nearly five decades of comics history. What's striking about Clarke is the eclectic, street-level company he keeps: his appearances span Punisher War Journal, The Champions, and Moon Knight, meaning he's rubbed shoulders with the likes of Frank Castle, Hercules, and Bobby Drake across some of Marvel's grittier and more adventurous corners. With 20 catalog appearances stretching all the way to 2023 and a key issue to his name, he's a rewarding deep-cut discovery — the kind of Bronze Age figure who rewards the curious reader willing to dig past the headliners.
