Harlequin

A legacy character in the tradition of the original Harlequin (Molly Mayne-Scott), this new Harlequin emerged in DC's Copper Age as part of the rich heroic inheritance surrounding Green Lantern's extended cast and the Infinity, Inc. era.

Stepping out of the vibrant Copper Age of DC Comics, Harlequin made her debut in the landmark Secret Origins #22 in 1988, brought to life by the creative team of Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and Howard Simpson. With appearances spread across Infinity, Inc. and the reference staple Who's Who Update '88, she's a character rooted in the rich legacy-hero tradition DC was so lovingly cultivating at the time. She shares her pages with a remarkable roster — Green Lantern, Molly Mayne-Scott, and Henry King, Jr. among them — placing her squarely within that interconnected tapestry of Golden Age echoes and next-generation heroes. A rare find with a tight but meaningful footprint in the catalog, Harlequin is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes DC's back issues such a rewarding treasure hunt.
