WarBlade

WarBlade is a founding member of the WildC.A.T.s, a covert superhero team that debuted in Jim Lee's 1992 Image Comics launch. A Kherubim hybrid with the ability to transform his body into razor-sharp metallic blades, he operates as a lethal close-combat fighter.

Born in the pages of Jim Lee's landmark WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams #1 in 1992, WarBlade arrived at the very moment Image Comics was rewriting the rules of superhero storytelling — and this character has been a fixture of that universe ever since. With a catalog presence stretching across three full decades and five key collector issues to their name, WarBlade is no flash-in-the-pan: 84 appearances across titles like The Razor's Edge and Cyberforce speak to a genuine staying power in the Wildstorm corner of comics. The company WarBlade keeps is extraordinary — sharing pages with Grifter, Zealot, Spartan, and Maul, they've been woven into some of the most kinetic, visually ambitious action comics the Copper and Modern Ages produced. If you're building out your Image/Wildstorm collection, WarBlade is exactly the kind of character whose debut issue you'll want to track down.
