Elena La Brava

A product of the mid-'90s Malibu universe, Elena La Brava made her entrance in 1995 courtesy of creators J. Smith and R. Haynes, stepping onto the page in the ambitious crossover event The Phoenix Resurrection. Her story unfolds across that saga's connected chapters — Genesis and the American Entertainment Edition among them — placing her in genuinely exciting company, sharing adventures with the likes of Mantra, Prototype, and even Marvel luminaries Ororo Munroe and Logan during that era's bold inter-publisher experimentation. Rare appearances make her a collector's curiosity, a fleeting but intriguing figure from a moment when Malibu was swinging for the fences.
