Big Hero 6 #1

Big Hero 6 is a fictional superhero team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics and created by Man of Action.

Created by Steven T. Seagle and Duncan Rouleau, Big Hero 6 was first intended to appear in Alpha Flight #17 (December 1998). Instead, the team appeared in their own self-titled, three-issue miniseries by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Gus Vasquez. However, due to scheduling complications, the miniseries was published prior to Alpha Flight #17.

The team appears in Alpha Flight #9 (January 2005).

The team also appears in a subsequent five-issue miniseries, which was launched by Marvel Comics in September 2008.

The characters were licensed to IDW Publishing for Big Hero 6: The Series in 2019.

Team

In the original comics, the Japanese government needed a team of state-sanctioned superheroes, so they consulted the "Giri," a top-secret consortium of politicians and business entities. The Giri was formed to recruit and train potential individuals for "Big Hero 6," a team of superhuman operatives. Despite reservations by some members of the Giri, Silver Samurai was appointed as the team's first field commander.
