Betty Brant
A Silver Age stalwart with real staying power, Betty Brant made her debut in Hit Comics #1 (1966) — brought to life by the legendary creative duo of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko — and has remained a fixture of Marvel's universe across an impressive six decades of storytelling. She moves in a wonderfully rich corner of the comics world, sharing pages with the likes of Tante May, Flash Thompson, J. J. Jameson, Frederick Foswell, and Anna Watson, a cast that speaks to the bustling, street-level drama she's always been part of. With 75 catalog appearances — four of them collector-recognized key issues — and a strong presence in series like Spider-Man Komplett and Marvel Origins through Panini Deutschland, she's clearly a character whose appeal has never faded. For fans who love the human heart beating beneath the superhero spectacle, Betty Brant is absolutely worth seeking out.
