Tick Tock

A Bronze Age curiosity from the Marvel Universe, Tick Tock made their entrance in 1983's Spider-Woman #50 — a debut crafted by Ann Nocenti and Brian Postman that dropped this enigmatic figure into some genuinely compelling company, sharing pages with the likes of Sybil Dvorak, Jack Russell, and Needle. With appearances spread across Captain America, Spider-Woman, and West Coast Avengers, Tick Tock moved through some of Marvel's most action-packed corners of the mid-to-late '80s. Rare in the catalog with only four recorded appearances, this is exactly the kind of elusive Bronze Age gem that rewards the dedicated hunter — a small footprint, but a fascinating one.
