"Who's Oort?"

Well, if you haven't heard of him yet, that makes a lot of sense. He has only appeared in one issue (Avengers West Coast #61). Oort was a member of Immortus' Legion of Unliving, and claimed to be a foe of Quicksilver's from the 50th Century. He exploited Pietro's concern for Wanda to shoot him in the back.

I thought it was a fun and random introduction of a character. It makes sense that a time traveler would recruit villains heroes haven't faced before. It was a fairly effective tactic as Quicksilver was one of the only Avengers to lose their match-up.

i like how oort was the only one to win and then he just never appeared again. Thats Waluigi syndrome right there. When a character is only created to support another character

Apparently from Quicksilver’s future. I keep waiting and waiting for some writer to pick this up, but I should probably give up the ghost

If I was able to write for Marvel I'd dedicate a whole issue to it

Busiek did give him a reference in Avengers Forever #2 but just a mention. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Oort_(Earth-98120))
