Hornet

Buzzing onto the scene in 1998's The Sensational Spider-Man #27, Hornet is a Marvel creation from the dynamic duo of Todd DeZago and Mike Wieringo, born right in the thick of comics' modern era. With a catalog presence spanning all the way to 2012, this character carved out a niche across some of Spider-Man's most beloved titles, including The Amazing Spider-Man and the fan-favorite Spider-Man: Identity Crisis arc. Hornet keeps genuinely compelling company — sharing pages with Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson-Parker, the Vulture's Adrian Toomes, and Flash Thompson — placing this character squarely at the heart of Spidey's world during a rich storytelling period. A modest but intriguing figure for collectors who love digging into the layered corners of Marvel's web-slinging corner of the universe.
