Supernova

Fresh out of the Modern Age's relentless reinvention machine, Supernova burst onto the scene in 2023's Superior Spider-Man Returns #1, immediately landing in one of Marvel's most deliciously complicated corners — a world where Otto Octavius and the legacy of the Superior Spider-Man loom over everything. With just 11 catalog appearances spread across Superior Spider-Man and Superior Spider-Man Returns, this is a character whose story is still being written, sharing pages with a cast that includes Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus, and Anna Maria Marconi. Early days, yes — but in comics, a debut this charged with potential is exactly the kind of thing collectors circle back to when a star is on the rise.
