Who is Misery?

Born into the gritty, chrome-edged world of early Image Comics, Misery made her debut in Cyberforce #0 in 1993 — a landmark moment brought to life by the formidable creative team of Marc Silvestri, Eric Silvestri, and Walter Simonson. She's a Copper/Modern Age creation through and through, emerging from that explosive era when Image was reshaping what superhero comics could look and feel like. Over nearly three decades, she's kept remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Ripclaw, WarBlade, and Robert Bearclaw across Cyberforce and even crossing over into the world of WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams. Rare enough to be a genuine collector's find with just 16 catalog appearances, Misery is exactly the kind of deep-cut Image character that rewards the devoted fan willing to dig into the era's rich, bold mythology.
