Nina Da Costa

Nina Da Costa stepped onto the Marvel stage in 1986, debuting in The New Mutants #43 courtesy of Chris Claremont and Steve Purcell — landing her squarely in the Copper Age, that fertile era when Marvel was pushing its mutant mythology in bold new directions. Her catalog appearances span a remarkable stretch from 1986 all the way to 2021, turning up across The New Mutants, Fallen Angels, and the comprehensive New Mutants Omnibus, which speaks to a quiet but persistent presence in Marvel's mutant corner of the universe. She shares her pages with some genuinely iconic company — Roberto Da Costa, Magma, Magik, Amara Aquilla, and Warlock among them — placing her right at the heart of that era's vibrant, character-rich storytelling. A collector with a taste for the deeper cuts of Marvel's mutant tapestry will find Nina Da Costa a rewarding thread to follow.
