Ramona Napier

Stepping onto the Marvel stage in 1990's Captain America Annual #9 — courtesy of the creative team of Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and Jim Valentino — Ramona Napier is a Copper Age discovery whose path has crossed some of the heaviest hitters in the Marvel Universe, from Steve Rogers and Tony Stark to the villainous Johann Shmidt himself. With appearances spread across Iron Man and Avengers Epic Collection alongside that debut annual, she moves in genuinely rarefied company. Rare and intriguing, she's exactly the kind of deep-catalog character that rewards the curious collector willing to dig past the household names.
