Unseen

Born in the Bronze Age pages of Rom Annual #2 (1983) under the creative hands of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, Unseen is one of Marvel's more intriguingly named figures — a character whose very title hints at mystery and shadow. Keeping rarefied company alongside the likes of Rom, Starshine, and Scanner, Unseen inhabits the cosmic, science-fiction-tinged corner of the Marvel universe that made the Rom series such a beloved cult classic of its era. With appearances stretching across an remarkable span into the mid-2020s, this is a character whose presence has quietly endured far longer than casual fans might expect. If you're diving into Rom back issues or the Rom Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years, keep your eyes open — sometimes the most fascinating discoveries are the ones hiding in plain sight.
