Scarlet Scarab

A mysterious hero who debuted in the supernatural Moon Knight: City of the Dead, Scarlet Scarab operates in the world of Egyptian mythology alongside Moon Knight and Layla El-Faouly — who herself once bore the Scarlet Scarab mantle in the MCU.

Bursting onto the scene in 2023 courtesy of writer David Pepose and artist Marcelo Ferreira, Scarlet Scarab is one of Marvel's freshest faces — a Modern Age creation who made an immediate impression in the atmospheric Moon Knight: City of the Dead. With only a handful of appearances so far, this character is still carving out their place in the Marvel Universe, doing so in extraordinarily compelling company: sharing pages with Moon Knight, Marc Spector, and Layla El-Faouly across both City of the Dead and Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu. For collectors who love getting in on the ground floor, Scarlet Scarab is exactly the kind of debut-issue discovery worth tracking — a new name etched into Moon Knight's world right as that corner of Marvel feels more vital than ever.
