Ray-Na

Ray-Na made her Marvel debut in the pages of Rom #6 in 1980, stepping onto the Bronze Age stage alongside some of that era's most memorable cosmic characters — including Rom himself, Starshine, and Brandy Clark. Created by Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, she's part of the rich tapestry woven through one of Marvel's most beloved cult runs, a series that has since been lovingly preserved in the Rom Epic Collection and the Rom: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus. With appearances stretching across an impressive 46-year span, Ray-Na is a testament to the enduring passion fans have for this corner of the Marvel universe — and if you're diving into those omnibus pages, she's exactly the kind of character who rewards a close read.
