Notes[]

  • This wiki page and character's name, respectively, are named after the character's first appearance in X-O Manowar #3 – "X-Caliber" (real name "Gregor Latinev"). The character first appeared in the sixth issue of Steve Englehart's series CoyoteTM, originally published by Epic Comics in the mid-1980s hence the "Featuring the Return of X Caliber" on the front cover of the issue. Englehart believed he owned the rights to the character and sold the license to Valiant, however, Marvel somehow objected and by the time this story was collected as part of the X-O Manowar: Retribution trade, the character was renamed to "Sniper" (real name "Karl Breznoff") and the project was renamed to "Project Sniper" (instead of "Project X-Caliber) as well.[1]
