Binaire

Carol Danvers gained nearly unlimited cosmic power after Brood scientists unwittingly unlocked the full potential of her Kree-altered DNA, transforming her into Binary — a being capable of tapping the energy of a white hole and operating freely in deep space.

Debuting in 1986's Strange #194 under the hands of Roger Stern and John Romita Jr., Binaire is a Copper Age creation whose story has been carried across French-language comics from Editions Lug for an impressive stretch spanning into the 2020s. A figure whose nine catalogued appearances are spread across Spécial Strange, Titans, and Strange, this character moves in remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Carol Danvers, Colossus, Iron Man, and Scott Summers. Rare, distinctly rooted in the Franco-Belgian comics tradition, and connected to some of Marvel's most iconic names, Binaire is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back-issue boxes so rewarding.
