Autumn Rolfson

Autumn Rolfson was a Marvel mutant whose uncontrollable power reduced organic matter — beginning with all food around her — to dust, leaving her unable to eat. Apocalypse exploited her desperate condition, recruiting her as one of his Horsemen under the guise of salvation.

Autumn Rolfson made her mark on Marvel's mutant universe when she debuted in X-Factor #12 in 1987, born from the creative partnership of Louise Simonson and Marc Silvestri right at the height of the Copper Age's bold storytelling ambitions. With ties to X-Factor, X-Force, and the X-Men, she moves through some of Marvel's most storied corners, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Scott Summers, Warren Worthington III, and Hank McCoy across X-Factor and The Uncanny X-Men. Her 34-year presence in the catalog — stretching all the way to 2021 — speaks to a staying power that outlasts many a flashier introduction, and with two collector-recognized key issues to her name, she's the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader digging deeper into the X-universe's rich ensemble. If you love the layered, interconnected world of Marvel's mutants, Autumn Rolfson is absolutely worth tracking down.
