Soldier Zero

In the wake of a devastating alien crash-landing, wheelchair-bound war veteran Captain Stewart Trautmann is forcibly merged with a mysterious, living battle-suit—becoming Soldier Zero, a being of immense power he never asked for. Published by Boom! Studios from 2010 to 2011, this 12-issue series was co-created by Stan Lee, with writer Paul Cornell and artist Javier Pina exploring the dark, personal cost of wielding such alien technology. It stands as a thoughtful, character-driven sci-fi story that reimagines the superhero origin through the lens of disability, trauma, and reluctant heroism.
