Vakume

Vakume is a member of Salem's Seven, a group of supervillains who menace the Fantastic Four. As one of Nicholas Scratch's children, he possesses abilities tied to his witch-heritage and operates out of New Salem, Colorado.

Born in the Bronze Age pages of Fantastic Four #186 (1977) under the hands of Len Wein, George Pérez, and Joe Sinnott, Vakume is a Marvel creation with deep roots in one of comics' most legendary titles. A member of both Salem's Seven and the Fantastic Four's extended world, this character keeps wild company — sharing adventures with the likes of Hydron, Vertigo, Thornn, Gazelle, and Reptilla, a rogues' gallery that signals just how strange and thrilling their corner of the Marvel universe can get. With appearances stretching across nearly five decades and turns in series like Marvel Knights 4, Vakume may be a rarer find in the longbox, but that's exactly what makes tracking them down such a rewarding hunt for the dedicated collector.
