The character first appeared without a name in Fantastic Four #13 (Apr 1963), and periodically reappeared in that title.

His origin was revealed in Tales of Suspense #52-53 (Apr-May 1964), and his name was revealed in Captain Marvel vol 1 #39 (Jul 1975).
The character has made many cameo appearances across the Marvel Universe since his debut, including Avengers,Uncanny X-Men,Hulk,Silver Surfer, Quasar, and Marvel Point One. He acts as the narrator in Marvel's What If? title.
