Swerve Strickland

Swerve Strickland is a comics adaptation of the real-life AEW professional wrestler, appearing as a fictionalized version of himself in DC's crossover universe where AEW stars interact with Superman, Batman, and other DC heroes.

A fresh face in the Modern Age DC universe, Swerve Strickland made their debut in 2024's AEW Presents Britt Baker, brought to life by the creative team of Steve Orlando and Laura Braga. Despite only arriving on the scene a year ago, this character has already racked up an impressive 49 catalog appearances, turning up across titles as prominent as Action Comics and Batman — serious real estate in the DC landscape. Sharing pages with a colorful roster that includes Darby Allin, "Timeless" Toni Storm, and Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland clearly moves in compelling company, and for collectors keeping their eyes on Modern Age characters with early momentum, this is one worth tracking from the very beginning.
