Raven Darkhölme

Few Marvel characters have proven as enduringly fascinating as Raven Darkhölme, who slipped onto the scene in the Bronze Age pages of Ms. Marvel #16 in 1978 — a Chris Claremont and Jim Mooney creation who has never stopped commanding attention. Nearly five decades and 441 catalog appearances later, she remains a fixture of the X-Men corner of the Marvel Universe, racking up 14 collector-significant key issues and headlining some of the most celebrated runs in Uncanny X-Men history alongside luminaries like Wolverine, Storm, and Cyclops. Her longevity is genuinely remarkable — from Bronze Age intrigue through to Immortal X-Men in the current era, she has outlasted trends, reboots, and generations of readers. If you're serious about Marvel's mutant mythology, Raven Darkhölme is essential reading.
