Old Lace

Old Lace is a genetically engineered Deinonychus from the 87th century, provided to the Runaways member Gertrude Yorkes by her time-traveling criminal parents. She shares a telepathic bond with Gert, instinctively obeying her commands and mirroring her emotions.

Few Marvel characters make quite the entrance that Old Lace does — debuting in the very first issue of Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's beloved Runaways in 2005, this extraordinary creature has been a fan favorite from page one. A Modern Age original with genuine staying power, Old Lace has shared adventures across two decades alongside an unforgettable cast including Nico Minoru, Chase Stein, Molly Hayes, Karolina Dean, and Victor Mancha — the kind of company that tells you everything about the wild, heartfelt corner of the Marvel Universe she inhabits. With appearances spanning Runaways, Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways, and collected digests, plus a collector-significant key issue to her name, Old Lace is living proof that Runaways built something genuinely special — and she remains one of its most iconic and irreplaceable presences.
