Who is Arcanna Jones?

Arcanna Jones is a Marvel Comics superhero who debuted as a member of the Squadron Supreme, an alternate-Earth team of powerful heroes. A practiced sorceress, she channels mystical forces in service of her world's greatest super-team.

Arcanna Jones made her mark on Marvel's Bronze Age when she debuted in Marvel Age Annual #1 in 1985, the product of a remarkable creative team that included Jim Shooter and Kurt Busiek. A fixture of the Squadron Supreme corner of the Marvel universe, she's spent nearly four decades sharing adventures with powerhouses like Hyperion, Doctor Spectrum, and the Whizzer β€” a roster that signals just how high the stakes tend to run in her world. With appearances stretching from 1985 all the way to 2023 and three collector-recognized key issues to her name, Arcanna is the kind of character who rewards the dedicated fan willing to dig into Marvel's rich tradition of alternate-reality storytelling across Squadron Supreme, Quasar, and Avengers. Forty-seven catalog appearances and still going β€” she's a quietly enduring figure well worth tracking down.
