Irene Merryweather
Irene Merryweather was an investigative journalist working for the Daily Bugle who became entangled with the time-traveling mutant Cable, ultimately chronicling his life and mission. An encounter with the psi-entity Alecto left her mind scrambled, rendering her thoughts unreadable by any telepath.
Irene Merryweather made her entrance in 1997's Cable #48, the creation of James Robinson and José Ladrönn, and she's been a quietly indispensable presence in Marvel's modern era ever since. Over nearly three decades she's kept some of the publisher's most volatile company — sharing pages with the likes of Cable, Deadpool, and Neena Thurman across titles including Cable & Deadpool — which tells you something about the kind of world she inhabits. With 49 catalog appearances stretching from the late nineties all the way to 2024, she's proven herself a genuinely enduring figure in corners of the Marvel Universe that don't always reward longevity. If you're diving into Cable's sprawling saga or the chaotic buddy-book energy of Cable & Deadpool, Irene is exactly the kind of character who rewards a closer look.
