Odessa Drake

A cunning presence in Marvel's modern era, Odessa Drake made her entrance in the pages of Black Cat #1 (2019), brought to life by writer Jed MacKay and artist Travel Foreman. She moves in rarefied, dangerous company — sharing the page with Black Cat, Felicia Hardy, Walter Hardy, Spider-Man, and even Vlad Dracula himself — which tells you everything about the electrifying world she inhabits. Her appearances across Black Cat and Marvel's Voices: Pride mark her as a character with real cultural weight for modern readers. Still early in her comics journey, she's the kind of figure worth getting in on the ground floor with.
