Who is Tank?

Tank is a member of the DNAgents, a team of artificially created humans — clones engineered from synthetic DNA — who gained superhuman abilities through the process of their creation and were controlled by the Matrix Corporation.

Few characters capture the scrappy, creator-owned spirit of Bronze Age independent comics quite like Tank, who burst onto the scene in 1983 courtesy of the talented team of Mark Evanier and Will Meugniot at Eclipse Comics — a publisher that dared to do things differently. Across roughly fourteen years and multiple series including The DNAgents and The New DNAgents, Tank shared adventures with a colorful cast that includes Rainbow, Amber, Sham, Surge, and Crossfire, suggesting a world rich with distinct personalities and ensemble energy. It's a testament to the character's staying power that Tank endured well into the 1990s across several connected titles, a genuine rarity for an independent comics creation of that era. If you're a fan of Bronze Age indie comics with real creative heart behind them, Tank is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through Eclipse's catalog so rewarding.
