Who is Tower?

Tower is a mutant enforcer who can increase his size and mass to towering proportions. He operated as a mercenary-style threat against X-Factor, using his growth power to overwhelming physical effect in combat.

Stepping out of the Copper Age Marvel Universe in 1986, Tower made their mark in the pages of X-Factor #2 β€” a key debut issue brought to life by the creative team of Jackson Guice and Bob Layton. With six collector-recognized key appearances across a catalog that stretches all the way to 2024, this Marvel figure has proven quietly enduring, surfacing across X-Factor, The New Mutants Annual, and the Essential X-Factor collections. Tower keeps formidable company throughout those pages, sharing adventures with heavy-hitters like Scott Summers, Warren Worthington III, and Bobby Drake β€” which tells you something about the high-stakes corner of the Marvel Universe this character inhabits. A rewarding find for any X-completionist digging into the rich, layered world that defined Marvel's mutant era.
