Wipeout

Wipeout stepped onto the Marvel stage in 1988's Uncanny X-Men #236, born from the sharp creative minds of Chris Claremont and Marc Silvestri during one of the most celebrated runs in X-Men history. A card-carrying X-Men affiliate, this Copper Age figure shares their corner of the Marvel universe with heavy hitters like Psylocke, Storm, and Logan — serious company by any measure. With only a handful of catalogued appearances across a brief 1988–1991 window, Wipeout is the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig into those landmark late-'80s issues. For collectors who love unearthing the overlooked corners of the X-Men's rich mythology, Wipeout is a genuine hidden gem.
