Shakti

Born into the Modern Age of Marvel with a debut in Fantastic Four #25 in 2000 — courtesy of the legendary Chris Claremont and Salvador Larroca — Shakti is a compact but intriguing presence in the House of Ideas. Her handful of appearances put her in vivid company: she shares pages with the likes of Johnny Storm and an eclectic cast including Divinity, Lancer, and the ominous Technarx. Rare enough to feel like a genuine discovery for the dedicated collector, her inclusion in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z confirms she's earned her place in Marvel's sprawling tapestry — a small footprint with real mystique.
