Lily Cromwell

A creature of the Modern Age Marvel Universe, Lily Cromwell stepped onto the scene in 2004 courtesy of creators Allan Jacobsen and C. P. Smith, debuting in The New Invaders #3 among a genuinely striking cast that includes the likes of Baroness Blood, Meranno, and Axl Nacht. Her footprint in the catalog is small but notable — five appearances that stretch across The New Invaders and into Marvel's official handbooks, including the dedicated Horror 2005 volume, which says something intriguing about where she fits in the Marvel tapestry. Characters who earn handbook real estate tend to matter, and the horror-tinged company she keeps only deepens the mystique around this briefly-but-memorably glimpsed figure from a fan-favorite corner of the early 2000s Marvel world.
