Lorina Dodson

A wealthy doctor who became obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, Lorina Dodson used her fortune and scientific expertise to outfit herself as the White Rabbit — a whimsical yet deadly villain armed with an explosive umbrella, killer rabbits, jet boots, and her own zeppelin.

Lorina Dodson swung onto the scene in Web of Spider-Man Annual #5 in 1989, a Fred Hembeck creation who has quietly built one of the more durable résumés in Marvel's street-level corner of the universe. Over 37 years and 68 catalogued appearances — three of them collector-recognized key issues — she's proven herself a genuine fixture of the Amazing Spider-Man world, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Electro, Tombstone, Lonnie Lincoln, Janice Lincoln, and the Beetle. That's serious, dangerous company, and the fact that she keeps turning up alongside them, right through Zeb Wells' celebrated modern run, speaks to a staying power that rewards the attentive reader. If you've been sleeping on Lorina Dodson, her track record says it's time to catch up.
