Who is Suwan?

Suwan is the granddaughter of the villainous Yellow Claw and the love interest of FBI agent Jimmy Woo, torn between loyalty to her dangerous grandfather and her feelings for Woo as he pursues the criminal mastermind.

Suwan made her Marvel debut in the very first issue of Yellow Claw back in 1956, brought to life by the legendary Al Feldman and the incomparable Joe Maneely during the waning days of the Golden Age β€” a remarkable origin for a character whose presence in the catalog stretches all the way to 2023. She keeps genuinely fascinating company, sharing pages with the likes of Jimmy Woo, Plan Chu, and the Yellow Claw himself across titles like Strange Tales, Giant-Size Master of Kung Fu, and her home series Yellow Claw. With three of her sixteen recorded appearances flagged as key collector issues, Suwan is far more than a footnote β€” she's a quietly significant figure whose longevity across nearly seven decades speaks to an enduring place in Marvel's rich tapestry.
