Who is Poltergeist?

Poltergeist is a Marvel character who debuted in Spider-Woman #49 and later appeared prominently in the Beauty and the Beast limited series, operating in mutant-adjacent circles alongside Dazzler and Beast in that corner of the Marvel Universe.

Poltergeist made their Marvel debut in the Bronze Age pages of Spider-Woman #49 (1983), brought to life by the creative team of Ann Nocenti and Brian Postman — and from the start, this character moved in genuinely electrifying circles, sharing adventures with the likes of Dazzler, Hank McCoy, and Victor Von Doom. Most of their catalog presence is concentrated in Beauty and the Beast and the Dazzler Omnibus, placing Poltergeist squarely in that distinctive corner of the Marvel Universe where mutant glamour meets real danger. It's a compact but intriguing footprint that has persisted all the way to 2024, making Poltergeist a rewarding discovery for collectors digging into the deeper Bronze Age veins of the Marvel tapestry.
