Madeline Bass-Drake

A Silver Age original, Madeline Bass-Drake made her Marvel debut in The X-Men #44 back in 1968, courtesy of Gary Friedrich and George Tuska, stepping into a corner of the Marvel Universe already buzzing with mutant adventure. Her story is woven into the world of the X-Men, and with a surname like Drake she's clearly part of the personal orbit surrounding some of the team's most familiar faces — she shares the page with Bobby Drake, Professor X, and others at the heart of that mythology. Spanning an impressive arc from 1968 all the way to 2010, she's one of those quietly enduring figures whose presence across The X-Men, The Uncanny X-Men, and the Iceman series marks her as a meaningful thread in the tapestry of mutant history. For collectors who love the human side of the X-Men's world, Madeline is a rewarding discovery hiding in plain sight.
