The Intoxicator

The Intoxicator is a member of the Freshmen, a group of college students who gained superpowers, debuting in Image Comics' 2005 preview issue of the series. The character exists within an irreverent, campus-based superhero ensemble alongside teammates like Renee Bellochio and The Beaver.

A product of Image Comics' mid-2000s college-set superhero scene, The Intoxicator burst onto the scene in 2005's Freshmen preview issue, conjured by writer Hugh Sterbakov and artist Leonard Kirk. Part of a memorable ensemble that includes Renee Bellochio, The Beaver, and Brady Lee, this Modern Age oddity carved out a niche across Freshmen, the Summer Vacation Special, and the Freshmen Yearbook — a tight but spirited run that captures everything irreverent and inventive about indie superhero comics of the era. With only 13 catalog appearances, The Intoxicator is a genuine deep-cut discovery, the kind of character that rewards fans who love digging into the quirkier corners of the Image library.
