Arani Caulder

Arani Caulder, also known as Celsius, debuted in Showcase #94 as a woman who claimed to be the wife of Doom Patrol founder Niles Caulder. Possessing thermal-based powers, she later led a revival of the Doom Patrol.

Arani Caulder made her entrance in the Bronze Age pages of Showcase #94 in 1977, brought to life by writer Paul Kupperberg and artist Joe Staton — a debut that launched a presence in DC Comics stretching across an impressive 35 years. Most at home within the world of the Doom Patrol, she's kept remarkable company over the decades, sharing adventures with the likes of Robotman, Cliff Steele, Tempest, and even Green Lantern, and her significance to DC's fabric is underscored by her inclusion in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe. With four key-issue appearances to her name and 40 catalog entries spanning from 1977 to 2012, Caulder is one of those Bronze Age discoveries who rewards the collector willing to dig — a character woven into the strange, enduring tapestry of one of DC's most beloved corners.
