Marvel Comics

Arcturus Rann was a character created for the Micronauts series by Marvel Comics.

Development

Marvel Comics created Arcturus Rann for their Micronauts comic series in 1979.

In 2003 Palisades released a recolor of their Space Glider done as a nod to Rann in the Marvel Comics, although because Marvel Comics owned the character they could not use the name officially, calling him "Space Commander" Space Glider.

Fictional biography

One of the first of the space gliding Micronauts - Adventurers/explorers in suspended animation 1,000 years ago to the farthest reaches of the Microverse - Rann returned to a Homeworld vastly changed from which he knew! Yet he has spent 10 centuries telepathically probing the unknown and never much cared for the predictable, anyway!

Comics

1979 Marvel Comics

Space Glider, Commander Arcturus Rann, is the main hero in the Marvel Comics Micronauts series. One thousand years ago, Commander Arcturus Rann set out from Homeworld with his roboid co-pilot Biotron on a voyage to explore the Microverse.

After the second Marvel Micronauts series ended Commander Rann, Marionette, Fireflyte, Acroyear and Bug appeared in M'ndens Bar in New Mutants number 50.
