Lightning

A Modern Age Marvel creation who made their first appearance in the pages of Scarlet Spider #2 in 2013, Lightning has since kept remarkably distinguished company — sharing adventures with the likes of Captain America, Spider-Man, and Ororo Munroe across titles including Avengers and Avengers Assemble. With a presence stretching into the mid-2020s, this is a character whose staying power in the Marvel Universe quietly speaks for itself. Five catalog appearances may sound modest, but when your stories place you alongside some of Marvel's most iconic figures, every panel counts.
