The Exiles is a fictional organization in the Marvel Universe.

Publication history

The Exiles first appeared in "Captain America" #102-104 (June-August 1968), and were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

The group subsequently appears in "Captain America" #115-117 (July-September 1969), and "Astonishing Tales" #4-5 (February-April 1971).

Fictional organization history

The Exiles were a band of war criminals, mostly German, from World War II, who were formerly allied with the Red Skull. They include:
*Baldini (an Italian who uses a scarf as a whip-like weapon)
*Cadavus (whose wheelchair can fire blasts)
*Ching (a Chinese master of the pistol)
*Gruning (who wields a whip)
*Iron-Hand Hauptmann (who has an iron hand)
*Krushki (an extremely strong Russian)

After the Red Skull recovered from suspended animation since World War II, he travelled to the Isle of the Exiles, where he was reunited with his old allies. He led them on unsuccessful campaigns against his old enemy Captain America, and even Doctor Doom.

Iron-Hand Hauptmann later also encountered Iron Man and the Black Widow, but was defeated. ["Iron Man" #6 (July 1998)]
