Despite beginning during the Golden Age, Marvel didn’t become the powerhouse it is until Stan Lee and Jack Kirby rejuvenated the universe at the dawn of the Silver Age. In the decades since, it’s built up one of the most impressive rosters of superheroes ever assembled in print. While Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Captain America serve as the face of the 616, one character stands out for being neglected by the company.The population of characters in the Marvel Universe grows every year, adding new generations of heroes and unique villains to set up fresh stories. Boasting an industry-leading publishing schedule, the company always tries to keep its core heroes at the forefront of print. However, it’s no secret that even some of their most entertaining superheroes often fall into obscurity, sometimes just when fans are clamoring for them.While DC managed to keep its monsters relevant inside its universe, Marvel continues to show it simply doesn’t know how to handle its creatures. This is partially due to some feeling that, next to The Incredible Hulk, he’s somewhat redundant, with the company already serving the “tragic monster” genre well. One way they could distinguish Sallis from Bruce Banner could be to lean into the same cosmic horror that defined Alan Moore’s run on Swamp Thing. In 2017, R.L. Stine attempted to do this, but his five-issue limit sabotaged him from the outset. As companies continue to limit writers to only a handful of issues on characters who demand longer runs, this problem will intensify.
