Who is Tricephalous?

Tricephalous is a subterranean creature associated with Mole Man and his underground domain, sharing the page with the Fantastic Four and other Marvel figures connected to the world beneath the surface.

A lurking curiosity from the early Copper Age, Tricephalous debuted in 1990's Avengers West Coast #54, brought into existence by the inventive John Byrne. With only a handful of catalog appearances spread across titles like Avengers West Coast and Fantastic Four, this Marvel oddity is a rare find — the kind of deep-cut character who shares the page with luminaries like Mole Man, Harvey Elder, and the core members of the Fantastic Four, which tells you something about the strange, subterranean corners of the Marvel Universe this figure inhabits. Tricephalous may be a scarce presence, but for collectors who love unearthing the hidden and the singular, that scarcity is precisely the appeal.
