Monster Hunters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Monster Hunters was a fictional group in the Marvel Comics universe. The team was created as a retcon to explain some events in the history of the Marvel Universe that were no longer plausible due to previous retcons. They first appeared in Marvel Universe #4 (September, 1998).

The Monster Hunters consisted of Ulysses Bloodstone, who had a centuries-long history hunting monsters, Makkari the Eternal (who organized the group under the false identity of Agent Jake Curtiss of the N.S.A.), the psychic and mystic known as Doctor Druid, and Zawadi, a skilled huntress and warrior from Wakanda. They were later joined by Namora, cousin of the Sub-Mariner. Their adventures took place during the late 1940's and 50's, a time when (in real life) Marvel was mostly printing stories about strange monsters and alien invaders; the monsters they fought were almost all revealed to have been Deviant Mutates created and unleashed by Kro.
