The last thing I remember seeing him in was Marvel Team-up back in ... 2005 or 06. Something like that.

He was part of a story where a villain came from the future and killed EVERYBODY. The only heroes left to stop him where Speedball, Darkhawk, Dagger, Arana, X-23, Terror, Gravity, and of course Sleepwalker. They had to go into the future where they team up with somebody called Mutant 2099 (I have no idea where that came from) and stop him before he went back in time and killed everybody.

... Which also meant they were stuck in the future because they changed time and there was already a them in the past.

I belive the team was briefly shown again in an issue with Squirrell Girl, but that's the last actual story I remember him doing anything in.

I think that was his last appearance. That one, and a new version of Sleepwalker that appeared in the quickly cancelled Marvel Anthology, were both written by Robert Kirkman, as I recall. I didn't read that Marvel Team-Up: League of Losers story that Alan2099 references, but having read the story in Marvel Anthology (and having put down the first tpb of Walking Dead after finishing and then never picking it up again), I'd say avoid Kirkman's Sleepwalker like the plague.

Will do! Thanks for your insight!

Sleepwalker is a nice concept, I wish Marvel did a movie about him.
After all, for most of the people who go watch the movies, Sleepwalker, Starlord or Dr Strange, it's all the same "litteraly who".

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Agreed. You mentioned the comicbook character Dr Strange.

To me the MCU Sleepwalker is a perfect ally for the MCU Dr Strange were they to battle the MCU Nightmare in a Dr Strange sequel.

Sleepwalker and Nightmare look to me terrific on the page.

Sleepwalker was what I got started on in comics, I am disappointed that they can’t make this work for today’s age. I think there is a lot of potential with sleepwalker, but I am biased. I just read the CBR article on Kirkman’s sleepwalker, and while I see some disliked it, I might give it a shot to get my sleepwalker fix. I’ll keep my fingers crossed I see him in some upcoming marvel entertainment.

Fingers crossed marvel comics will do something with the character in 2018.

He most recently showed up in the Fantastic Four iirc, helping Franklin.

Yeah, he was in the final arc of Fantastic Four, including the "last" issue. IIRC, Sleepwalker helped Franklin save the day against the denizens of the "nightmare" Heroes Reborn universe.

To me, Sleepwalker is to accompany the Fantastic Four in 2018 when they return to the 616 Marvel Universe.

Sleepwalker was one of the better original characters created in the 90s.
He'd make my top 10 for sure and I'd like to see him given a shot at a solo again...but Darkhawk first. His Legacy #51 title was really good and should've served as a launching pad to full ongoing status but I digress.

The last story I recall that I read with Sleepwalker was Avenging Spider-man #19 (2013)

I think that was a new Avengers Story Cage went out in a gruesome way.
