Thermo the Thermatronic Man

Few characters carry a name as gloriously of-their-era as Thermo the Thermatronic Man, a Bronze Age Marvel creation who burst onto the scene in 1981's Marvel Team-Up #108, conjured by the combined talents of Tom DeFalco, David Michelinie, and Herb Trimpe. With only a handful of catalog appearances spread across Marvel Team-Up and Quasar, Thermo is the kind of deep-cut curiosity that makes longtime Marvel readers light up — a rare figure who shares pages with the likes of Spider-Man, Paladin, and Alison Blaire. He may not have the decades-long resume of his more famous contemporaries, but for collectors who love the weird, wonderful corners of the Bronze Age Marvel Universe, Thermo the Thermatronic Man is exactly the kind of find worth tracking down.
