Super Sabre

Martin Fletcher is a World War II veteran who gained superhuman speed and eventually joined Freedom Force, the government-sponsored team of former mutant criminals. Partnering with fellow vets Crimson Commando and Stonewall, he honed a combat style that exploited his remarkable quickness.

A high-velocity Copper Age creation from the legendary Chris Claremont and Alan Davis, Super Sabre burst onto the Marvel scene in The Uncanny X-Men #215 in 1987 — and with dual affiliations to both the X-Men and Freedom Force, this character occupies a genuinely fascinating corner of mutant politics. Most of their appearances unfold across the pages of Uncanny X-Men and the New Mutants titles, sharing adventures with memorable figures like Crimson Commando, Pyro, and St. John Allerdyce. With 27 catalog appearances spanning an impressive 35 years and two key-issue credits to their name, Super Sabre is the kind of deep-cut Marvel character that rewards the devoted collector who loves the rich, morally complex ensemble storytelling that defined the Claremont era at its very best.
