Behind the scenes

Patrick Macnee's Steed as depicted on the cover of Boom! Studios's Steed and Mrs Peel #1.

John Steed was the main protagonist of the 1960s British spy-fi series The Avengers and of its numerous sequels, reboots and reimaginings. He was most iconically portrayed by actor Patrick Macnee.

The character has made numerous cameos in stories set in the Doctor Who universe, potentially suggesting that the events of the original Avengers also took place in the Doctor Who world rather than a separate universe. A version of Steed has also been shown to exist in the “main” Marvel universe, Earth-616, as a metafictional tip of the hat to the shared name between Steed's TV series and Marvel's iconic superhero team also known as The Avengers.
