Tempest

Born into the turbulent early days of Image Comics, Tempest made their debut in Cyberforce #4 in 1993, a product of the kinetic creative partnership between Marc Silvestri and Brandon Peterson at the height of the Copper/Modern Age's bold, boundary-pushing energy. This is a character forged in one of comics' most visually ambitious eras, appearing across Codename: Stryke Force, Cyberforce, and the crossover Strykeforce: Opposing Forces, sharing the page with a colorful roster that includes Morgan Stryker, Black Anvil, and the memorably named Percival "Poopsie" Wainwright III. With 23 catalog appearances spanning nearly a decade, Tempest is a rewarding find for collectors diving deep into Image's gritty, high-octane corner of the '90s — exactly the kind of character that reminds you how much richness is waiting just beyond the household names.
