Agent Galahad

Agent Galahad is the name of several fictional characters serving as the protagonists of the Kingsman franchise, part of the Millarworld, published by Marvel Comics under the company's imprint Icon Comics, and by Image Comics. The first two Galahads, Gary and Jack London, were created by artist Dave Gibbons and writer Mark Millar for the 2012 comic book miniseries The Secret Service, Jack being a gentleman spy who recruits his nephew Gary to become an agent of MI6; after Jack's death, Gary assumes the Galahad mantle and saves the world. In 2014, these characters were adapted by Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn as Gary "Eggsy" Unwin (portrayed by Taron Egerton) and Harold "Harry" Hart (portrayed by Colin Firth) in the feature film Kingsman: The Secret Service, changed in adaptation to be unrelated, with Harry having been a friend of Eggsy's deceased father Lee, recruiting Eggsy to the independent intelligence agency Kingsman; the characters return in the 2017 sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and will return again in the 2020s in Kingsman: The Blue Blood. Due to the success of the Kingsman film series, the comic book mononymous Gary was retconned to also be named Gary "Eggsy" Unwin in the 2017 one-shot The Big Exit, before again returning in the miniseries The Red Diamond (2017–2018) and Big Game (2023), in which he respectively partners up with SASS agent Kwaito and vigilante Mindy McCready.

The 2021 First World War-era prequel film The King's Man introduces the first Agent Galahad, Pollyanna "Polly" Wilkins (portrayed by Gemma Arterton), a founder member of Kingsman and the former maid and romantic partner of Kingsman leader Orlando, created by Matthew Vaughn and Karl Gajdusek.

The characters have received a generally positive critical reception.
