ElectroCute

A striking newcomer from the mid-nineties indie boom, ElectroCute crackled onto the scene in 1995 courtesy of creators J. Smith and R. Haynes, debuting in the special American Entertainment Edition of The Phoenix Resurrection #0 from Malibu Comics. Though her catalog footprint is compact — spanning The Phoenix Resurrection and its Genesis chapter — she keeps genuinely electrifying company, sharing pages with Malibu mainstays Mantra and Prototype alongside Marvel luminaries Logan and Ororo Munroe in what was clearly a landmark crossover event of the era. For collectors hunting the overlooked gems of Malibu's ambitious Ultraverse years, ElectroCute is exactly the kind of rare, blink-and-you'll-miss-her discovery that makes digging through nineties back-issue bins so rewarding.
