Isabel St. Ives

Isabel St. Ives is a supporting character from Marvel's Alpha Flight series who moves in dangerous circles, connected to the villainous Deadly Ernest as well as the mutant twins Northstar and Aurora in the darker corners of the Alpha Flight world.

A quietly haunting figure from Marvel's Bronze Age, Isabel St. Ives made her entrance in John Byrne's celebrated Alpha Flight #8 in 1984 — a debut that counts as a key issue for collectors. Her story unfolds in the orbit of some of Marvel's most compelling characters, sharing pages with Northstar, Aurora, and the ominously named Deadly Ernest, which hints at the dark, dramatic corners of the Marvel universe she inhabits. Though her catalog footprint is small, her appearances span a remarkable 37 years, a quiet testament to her staying power in the corners of Marvel continuity that devoted readers treasure most.
