Over the years, Dragon Man has transitioned from a villain to a more sympathetic character, often portrayed as a protector and ally to various superhero teams. His character development reflects themes of redemption and the struggle for acceptance.

Dragon Man has received mixed reviews, often seen as a secondary character in the Marvel Universe. However, his unique design and abilities have garnered a dedicated fanbase.
