Jaine Cutter

Jaine Cutter made her entrance in the mid-1990s — that bold, boundary-pushing moment in comics when Marvel was expanding its universe in ambitious new directions — debuting in The Phoenix Resurrection (American Entertainment Edition) #0 in 1995, brought to life by J. Smith and R. Haynes. Her presence across The Phoenix Resurrection and a spot in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z signals a character Marvel considered worth cataloguing for the ages, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Thor Odinson and Mantra along the way. She may have a compact footprint in the catalog, but that handbook inclusion is the mark of a character with genuine standing in the Marvel tapestry — and for collectors hunting the corners of the Copper/Modern Age, Jaine Cutter is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
