Marvel Creates Variant Covers For National Bullying Prevention Month



Captain America (2012) #25 variant cover



October is National Bullying Prevention month and to raise awareness for it, Marvel has teamed up with bullying prevention organization Stomp Out Bullying to create special variant covers featuring some of its most popular superheroes.



“...bullying transcends race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation; in fact, some of Marvel's greatest super heroes were themselves bullied as kids and teens,” said Stomp Out Bullying on their collaboration with Marvel. “But just as Spider-Man, Captain America, and Marvel’s many other Super Heroes were able to triumph and go on to combat evil, so can every one of us be a Super Hero in our own right by standing up and joining the fight to eradicate bullying.”



The variant covers feature superheroes such as Captain America, Hulk and Star-Lord coming to the aid of bullied individuals.



Check out the brilliant covers below:
