Iris Green

Stepping onto the page in 1989's The Punisher #21, Iris Green is a Marvel Copper Age figure brought to life by the legendary Stan Lee and the brilliant Dwayne McDuffie. Her world is a gritty one — she shares those dark, tension-filled pages with Frank Castle himself, the resourceful Microchip, and others who orbit the Punisher's unrelenting corner of the Marvel Universe. Spanning an impressive stretch from 1989 all the way to 2021, she's a quietly enduring presence in titles like The Punisher, Classic Punisher, and Essential Punisher — a character worth seeking out for fans who love digging into the richer, deeper cast that gives Marvel's street-level stories their texture.
