Andromeda

Debuting in 1991's Legion of Super-Heroes #23 under the hands of Keith Giffen and Al Gordon, Andromeda is a DC Copper/Modern Age creation who entered the universe alongside some genuinely heavy hitters — Ultra Boy, Brainiac 5, and Laurel Gand among the luminaries sharing her pages. Her appearances stretch across a surprisingly broad span of titles, from Legion of Super-Heroes to Justice League United and Supergirl Annual, hinting at a character with reach beyond a single corner of the DC cosmos. Though her catalog footprint is compact, any character rubbing shoulders with Querl Dox and Jo Nah is clearly moving in rarefied company worth a curious collector's attention.
