Xodar

Xodar is a Barsoomian character from Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter mythos, adapted into DC Comics. A Black Pirate of the Omean sea and later ally of John Carter, he inhabits the world of Mars alongside iconic figures like Dejah Thoris and Tars Tarkas.

A Golden Age original with roots stretching back to 1941, Xodar made their debut in The Funnies #52 and has endured across an impressive 76-year span in the DC catalog. This is a character who keeps genuinely storied company — sharing pages with John Carter, Dejah Thoris, Tars Tarkas, Thuvia, and Phaidor, the celebrated figures of Barsoomian adventure — placing Xodar squarely within one of comics' most beloved pulp-fantasy traditions. Their appearances across Weird Worlds and the Warlord of Mars Omnibus speak to a legacy that outlasted countless contemporaries. With only nine catalog appearances, Xodar is a rare find — exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Golden Age and beyond so rewarding.
