Who is Cecilia Reyes?

Cecilia Reyes is a mutant physician who long resisted joining the X-Men, preferring to use her medical talents to help people as a doctor rather than as a superhero. Circumstances eventually drew her into the X-Men's world, where her surgical skills made her uniquely invaluable among mutantkind's champions.

Cecilia Reyes stepped onto the Marvel stage in 1997, a fresh face in the Modern Age of comics who quickly found her place among the most storied roster in the publisher's history — the X-Men. Over nearly three decades of publication, she's shared pages with heavy-hitters like Logan, Beast, and Ororo Munroe across flagship titles including X-Men, The Uncanny X-Men, and Astonishing X-Men, which speaks volumes about the caliber of company she keeps. With four key collector issues to her name and a presence stretching all the way to 2026, Reyes is a character whose longevity proves she's far more than a supporting player — she's a genuine piece of the X-Men's rich modern tapestry worth tracking down.
