Who is Josephine?

Stepping out of the late-1980s Copper Age Marvel universe, Josephine made her debut in X-Factor #28, brought to life by the celebrated creative duo of Louise and Walter Simonson during one of the most electric periods in X-Men history. Over a surprisingly enduring stretch reaching all the way to 2024, she's kept remarkable company β€” sharing pages with icons like Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Warren Worthington III, as well as the memorable Infectia. Her appearances across X-Factor, X-Men, and even Marvel Platinum: The Definitive Shang-Chi hint at a quietly versatile presence in the Marvel tapestry, and for dedicated collectors hunting every corner of that rich Simonson era, she's exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through long boxes so rewarding.
