Telford Porter

Telford Porter, known as the Vanisher, is a mutant born with the innate power to teleport himself and others instantaneously across distances. He first clashed with the original X-Men as a brazen solo criminal, using his gifts for theft and personal gain.

Telford Porter is a Silver Age Marvel original, stepping onto the scene in The X-Men #2 way back in 1963 — part of the very earliest wave of mutant storytelling conjured by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby at the dawn of something legendary. Over six decades of publication history, this figure has woven through titles like Fallen Angels, The X-Men, and X-Force, keeping remarkable company with the likes of Scott Summers, Warren Worthington III, and Bobby Drake along the way. With five key-issue appearances to their name and a presence stretching all the way to 2024, Telford Porter is a testament to how deep the X-Men corner of the Marvel Universe truly runs — a character who rewards the curious collector willing to dig beneath the headline names.
