The Crimson Avenger
Meet The Crimson Avenger, a Modern Age DC creation who made their first appearance in Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E. #9 in 2000, brought to life by the formidable creative partnership of Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins. Over a span of more than two decades, this character has carved out a niche in some of DC's most storied corners, appearing alongside luminaries like Green Lantern, Hourman, The Flash, and Courtney Whitmore — serious company that speaks to the character's place in DC's rich legacy landscape. Most at home in the pages of JSA and milestone events like Infinite Crisis Companion, The Crimson Avenger is the kind of figure that rewards the curious reader who digs deeper into DC's ensemble tapestry. Ten appearances may be a compact footprint, but every one of them lands in meaningful territory — this is a character worth tracking down.
