Vindaloo

Vindaloo is a minor Marvel mutant associated with the Acolytes, the fanatical followers of Magneto. Appearing alongside figures like Colossus, Scanner, and Katu Kath, Vindaloo operates in the morally complex world of mutant extremism explored in the Uncanny X-Men titles.

Vindaloo made their Marvel debut in the pages of X-Men #86 in 1999, brought to life by the acclaimed creative team of Fabian Nicieza and Alan Davis right at the cusp of the Modern Age. Affiliated with both the Acolytes and the X-Men, this character moves in genuinely charged company — sharing adventures with the likes of Colossus, Scanner, Seamus Mellencamp, and Katu Kath across titles like Uncanny X-Men and X-Men. With only a handful of appearances to their name, Vindaloo is a rare find for the dedicated completist, the kind of deep-cut Marvel figure whose scarcity makes every issue they appear in feel like a small discovery. If you love hunting the margins of the X-Men universe, Vindaloo is exactly the sort of character that rewards a careful eye.
