Wiz-Kid

Takeshi Matsuya, a young mutant inventor, possesses the ability to technopathically engineer and build advanced mechanical devices despite having no formal training — most notably constructing a flight-capable wheelchair for himself. He debuted as a resourceful teenage prodigy in Marvel's mutant corner.

Wiz-Kid made their Marvel debut in The New Mutants Annual #7 in 1991, a Copper Age arrival courtesy of writer Fabian Nicieza and artist Guang Yap, stepping onto the page at a moment when Marvel's mutant universe was crackling with ambition and expansion. Across a journey spanning more than three decades, this character has found their most prominent home in the pages of S.W.O.R.D. and the sprawling Reign of X and Trials of X eras, keeping remarkable company alongside the likes of Cable, Abigail Brand, and Frenzy. With 19 catalog appearances and at least one key collector-significant issue to their name, Wiz-Kid is a rewarding discovery for fans who love digging into the deeper corners of the X-Men's extended world — a character whose longevity quietly proves there's real staying power here.
