Who is Marlo Chandler?

Marlo Chandler first appeared as a Las Vegas woman who became romantically entangled with Bruce Banner's alter ego Joe Fixit. She later married Rick Jones and, after a brush with death, became an unwitting host to the cosmic embodiment of Death itself, granting her a mysterious connection to the dead.

Marlo Chandler is one of the most enduring human presences in the world of the Hulk, debuting in Peter David's celebrated run on The Incredible Hulk in 1988 and proving compelling enough to share pages with Bruce Banner, Rick Jones, Betty Banner, and the Hulk himself across an impressive 35-year stretch. Created by David and Jeff Purves, she arrived in the Copper Age and became a fixture of Marvel's gamma-irradiated corner, her story woven through landmark collections like the Peter David Omnibus and the Epic Collection that fans return to again and again. Her unusual team affiliations β€” spanning the Pantheon, the Maggia, and the U-Foes β€” hint at a life that has brushed up against some genuinely wild corners of the Marvel Universe. With a key issue to her name and half a century of catalog appearances, Marlo is exactly the kind of richly developed supporting character who rewards readers who dig deeper into one of Marvel's most beloved runs.
