Publication history[ edit ] The character first appeared in the black-and-white magazine publication Marvel Preview 4 Jan Creator Steve Englehart had plans for the character that went unrealized. He later reflected on his website: I conceived something very large. My hero would go from being an unpleasant, introverted jerk to the most cosmic being in the universe, and I would tie it into my then-new interest in astrology. After his earthbound beginning, his mind would be opened step by step, with a fast-action story on Mercury, a love story on Venus, a war story on Mars, and so on out to the edge of the solar system, and then beyond.
