Uncommon card · No. 178180

Rom the Space Knight is a superhero who was originally conceived as a toy and then a magazine lead. Rom was created by Scott Dankman, Richard C. Levy, and Bryan L. McCoy for Parker Brothers and is now a Hasbro asset. After the toy was licensed to Marvel Comics, Rom became a character that debuted in the eponymous American comic book Rom: Spaceknight (December 1979 – February 1986), by Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema. In 2016, IDW Publishing published a new Rom comic book series as part of the Hasbro Comic Book Universe. In 2023, Marvel reacquired the rights to begin publishing omnibus editions collecting the Rom material they had previously published in the 1970s and 1980s. In 2026, Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment acquired the publishing rights, with the character joining the Energon Universe.
