Justine Hammer

Justine Hammer is the daughter of the wealthy industrialist and arms dealer Justin Hammer, growing up immersed in the ruthless world of corporate power and villainy. Without any superhuman abilities, she relies on intelligence, ambition, and her family's criminal legacy to pursue her own dangerous agenda.

Born into the pages of Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley's Thunderbolts in 1997, Justine Hammer arrived at the dawn of the Modern Age with the kind of pedigree that demands attention — and she's been a fixture of Marvel's darker corridors ever since. Her world is one of power, ambition, and high-stakes intrigue, most at home in the Invincible Iron Man and Iron Man titles where she shares the stage with Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and Ezekiel Stane. Nearly three decades of appearances across nearly thirty years speak to a character with real staying power in Marvel's landscape, and her presence in Dark Reign: The Hood underlines just how comfortably she moves through the shadier edges of the universe. If you're diving deep into Iron Man's world and want to understand the full cast of players orbiting that corner of Marvel, Justine Hammer is absolutely worth your time.
