Wraith

Born in the thick of Marvel's Bronze Age, Wraith made their debut in Marvel Team-Up #72 in 1978, brought to life by writer Bill Mantlo and artist Jim Mooney. The company this character keeps is genuinely impressive — sharing pages with Peter Parker, Spider-Man, Steve Rogers, and the Green Goblin speaks to a debut that landed right in the heart of Marvel's most kinetic storytelling era. Turning up across titles like Iron Man Epic Collection and even the playful Spidey and the Mini-Marvels, Wraith has quietly persisted in the Marvel universe for nearly five decades — a testament to the staying power of a well-crafted Bronze Age creation worth seeking out.
