Petal

A minor but memorable face from the early 2000s Marvel universe, Petal surfaces in the pages of Emma Frost — the acclaimed Modern Age series that peeled back the origins of one of the X-Men corner of Marvel's most complex figures. Brought to life in 2004 by writer Karl Bollers and artist Carlo Pagulayan, Petal keeps vivid company alongside Emma Frost herself and a cast of characters including Winston Frost, Bazz, Milo, and Stu. With only a handful of appearances to their name, Petal is the kind of quietly intriguing background presence that dedicated collectors of that series will recognize as part of the rich, carefully textured world Bollers and Pagulayan built around one of Marvel's most fascinating characters.
