Dust

Born in the Bronze Age pages of Dazzler #38 (1985), courtesy of the sharp creative team of Archie Goodwin and Paul Chadwick, Dust is a Marvel character who made their entrance into a corner of the universe populated by the likes of Alison Blaire herself and the hard-edged O.Z. Chase. With appearances catalogued across nearly four decades, there's a quiet staying power to this figure that rewards the dedicated collector hunting through Dazzler back issues and the handsome Dazzler Omnibus. Slim in total appearances but rich in context, Dust is one of those supporting-cast discoveries that makes deep-diving into Bronze Age Marvel so endlessly worthwhile.
