Carina Walters

Carina Walters is the daughter of the world-devouring Collector, one of the Marvel Universe's immortal Elders of the Universe. She became entangled with the Avengers after falling genuinely in love with Michael Korvac, a powerful cosmic-level threat her father had tasked her with monitoring.

Born into the cosmic end of the Marvel Universe with The Avengers #167 in 1978, Carina Walters made her Bronze Age entrance under the hands of a remarkable creative trio — Jim Shooter, Roger Stern, and George Pérez — at a time when Marvel was pushing its storytelling to grand, galaxy-spanning heights. Her appearances stretch across a quarter century of Marvel history, touching titles from The Avengers to Fantastic Four Annual, and she keeps genuinely stellar company: Iron Man, Wonder Man, Wanda Maximoff, and the cosmic wanderer Starhawk have all shared her pages. With affiliations spanning both the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy, Carina occupies a rare and intriguing place where Earth's mightiest heroes brush up against the far reaches of the cosmos — a character whose modest appearance count only adds to her mystique for the dedicated collector hunting every corner of the Bronze Age Marvel tapestry.
