Isis

Isis is the Egyptian goddess of magic and motherhood as she appears in the Marvel Universe, where divine pantheons from across myth coexist. She debuted when Marvel's Bronze Age stories brought the Egyptian Ennead into contact with Asgardian mythology.

A figure of ancient mythological power transplanted into the Bronze Age Marvel Universe, Isis made her debut in Thor #239 in 1975, brought to life by the legendary team of Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema. As a member of Marvel's Asgardian Gods, she inhabits a corner of the Marvel cosmos where pantheons collide and divine politics run deep, sharing pages with the likes of Odin, Osiris, Horus, and even Daimon Hellstorm across titles as varied as Thor, Hellstorm: Son of Satan, and Rise of Apocalypse. Her 32-year presence in the catalog — stretching from the Bronze Age all the way into the 2000s — speaks to the enduring appeal of mythological grandeur in superhero comics. Rare in appearances but rich in company, she's a rewarding discovery for collectors who love the cosmic and mythological sweep that Marvel does so well.
