Who is Roma?

Roma is a powerful cosmic guardian and daughter of Merlyn, the omnipotent wizard. Dwelling beyond mortal reality, she oversees the multiverse and serves as protector of the Omniverse, guiding champions such as Captain Britain across countless parallel Earths.

Born from the Bronze Age imagination of Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe in the pages of Captain Britain Annual #1978 (1977), Roma is one of Marvel UK's most enduring mystical presences β€” a figure of cosmic authority whose influence has rippled through nearly five decades of storytelling. She keeps rarefied company, sharing adventures with Captain Britain, Brian Braddock, the enigmatic Merlyn, Opal Luna Saturnyne, and Betsy Braddock across landmark titles like Captain Britain, Excalibur, and Hulk Comic. Affiliated with both the X-Men and Freedom Force, Roma occupies a fascinating crossroads between the British Marvel universe and its wider superhero tapestry, and with four key-issue appearances to her name, collectors have long recognized her significance. For anyone drawn to the richer, stranger corners of Marvel's Bronze Age legacy, Roma is absolutely worth seeking out.
