Creation

Acroyear is based off the Mego Micronauts toy Acroyear (1976) who is in turn a reconfigured version of the original Microman Acroyear II (1975). The comics character was created by Bill Mantlo and Michael Golden, and appeared first in Marvel’s Micronauts #1. Rather than follow the story of the original toy line wherein Acroyear is classically the enemy of the Micronauts, Marvel’s version of Acroyear is an ally and a trusted member of the Micronauts team. Mantlo and Golden gave the character a rich background, and delved deeply into his personal story, creating a solid homeworld and a rich history for him.
