Anastasia Cisarovna

Few characters can claim they've been stirring up trouble since the very first issue of one of Marvel's most beloved Bronze Age franchises, but Anastasia Cisarovna made her entrance in G.I. Joe, A Real American Hero #1 in 1982 — crafted by the legendary Larry Hama and Don Perlin right at the series' explosive launch. Over more than four decades of publication, she's accumulated 123 catalog appearances and a remarkable 10 key issues to her name, a testament to just how deeply woven into the fabric of this universe she's become. She keeps genuinely electrifying company, sharing pages with icons like Cobra Commander, Destro, Scarlett, and Snake-Eyes — the very heart of the G.I. Joe mythology. If you're tracing the full sweep of one of comics' great long-running action sagas from its Bronze Age roots all the way into the present day, Anastasia Cisarovna is a name you'll want to know.
