Spotlight On...SOLO

[Monolith]

In the running for "The Most 90's Character Ever!", Solo was first introduced as a Spider-Man supporting character. A grim vigilante with a mysterious past, an anti-hero's attitude towards killing, and guns, guns, GUNS, James Bourne (re: James Bond / Jason Bourne) was certainly emblematic for the era. Over time, his war on terror dwindled and he began serving as a more traditional mercenary. Solo crossed into the X-Men's world several times as a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Six Pack or Deadpool's Mercs for Money. Nowadays a freelance counter-terrorist who takes merc jobs to fund his crusade and support his infant daughter, Solo may have found some balance as a character.

My first exposure to this character was the couple issues of X-Factor he was in. This was a great read as I never knew how much history he actually had.
