Iron Butterfly

Iron Butterfly made her entrance in 1994's Shadow Cabinet #0, born from the creative powerhouse trio of Dwayne McDuffie, Robert L. Washington III, and John Paul Leon — architects of the Milestone Universe who knew how to build characters with real weight. A product of the Copper/Modern Age, she's part of that exciting wave of Milestone heroes who brought fresh perspectives and genuine diversity to superhero comics at a moment when the medium needed it most. Her catalog footprint spans a remarkable 28 years, touching titles like Hardware, Static Shock!: Rebirth of the Cool, and Justice League of America, and putting her in the company of figures like Curtis Metcalf and Blitzen. Eight appearances may sound modest, but for a Milestone devotee, each one is a find worth tracking down.
