Lukess

Lukess is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Nova #12, released in 1977, and was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Carmine Infantino. Lukess is an alien being from the planet Xylos.

In his initial appearances, Lukess was depicted as a member of a species with a unique biological composition, possessing abilities that set him apart from most inhabitants of Xylos. His planet was often portrayed as a technologically advanced but insular society. Lukess's motivations and background were explored as he interacted with Earth's heroes, particularly Nova, the Human Rocket. These interactions often revolved around interplanetary conflicts or threats that extended beyond the confines of his home world.

The character's role in the Marvel universe has been relatively minor, primarily serving to expand the cosmic scope of the stories he appeared in. His species and their homeworld provided a backdrop for exploring themes of alien cultures and intergalactic relations. While not a central figure, Lukess contributed to the rich tapestry of Marvel's cosmic characters and storylines. Information regarding Lukess's current status or any significant developments in his character arc is limited, with his appearances concentrated in earlier eras of Marvel's publishing history.
