Prudence Leighton

Born into the morally tangled world of Marvel's Mystique solo series, Prudence Leighton made her debut in the very first issue of that 2003 run — a Modern Age title crafted by the sharp creative team of Brian K. Vaughan and Jorge Lucas. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's a rare figure who orbits some genuinely compelling company: Raven Darkhölme herself, Forge, and Charles Xavier all share her pages, placing her squarely in a corner of the Marvel universe where espionage and moral ambiguity reign. For collectors hunting the overlooked corners of a beloved era, Prudence is exactly the kind of character who rewards a closer look.
