Soldier Boy: A Marvel Universe chronicle

Benjamin Mercer was supposed to be an ordinary soldier.

Instead, he became a legend hidden from history.

Selected during the Vietnam War for a groundbreaking Super Soldier program, Mercer survived a procedure that transformed him into one of the most powerful enhanced humans on Earth. Gifted with incredible strength, near-invulnerability, and immortality, he spent decades serving in the shadows as humanity entered an age of heroes, mutants, aliens, and gods.

As the years passed, Benjamin witnessed events that changed the world forever-from the rise of the X-Men and Fantastic Four to the formation of the Avengers, the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the coming of Thanos.

Realizing that Earth would face threats beyond the reach of any single hero, Benjamin founded O.B.S.I.D.I.A.N., a secret organization dedicated to protecting the world from dangers no one else could see.

Now, as multiversal incursions, cosmic powers, and ancient enemies threaten reality itself, the man known as Soldier Boy must step forward and lead the fight for the future.

From Vietnam to Infinity War, from hidden battlefields to the edge of the Multiverse, one soldier has been watching it all.

The world knows the heroes.
It never knew the guardian in the shadows.
