Tarot

A member of the villainous group the Hellions, Tarot first appeared opposing Firestar, wielding powers tied to her tarot cards, which she could bring to life as solid energy constructs. She trained under Emma Frost at the Massachusetts Academy.

Born into the pages of Firestar #2 in 1986, Tarot is a Copper Age Marvel creation from the team of Tom DeFalco, Mary Wilshire, and Bob Wiacek — and from the very start, this character was woven into some of the X-Men corner of Marvel's most compelling, morally layered territory. With affiliations spanning the Hellfire Club, the Hellions, the Sentinels, and the X-Men, Tarot has moved through some of the most storied institutions in mutant comics history. Their adventures unfold most frequently across The New Mutants and Firestar, sharing those pages with a memorable roster including Marie-Ange Colbert, Catseye, Jetstream, and Jennifer Stavros — company that places Tarot right at the heart of a fan-favorite era of Marvel storytelling. With two key collector issues, nearly four decades of appearances, and a presence that stretches all the way to 2024, Tarot is a rewarding discovery for anyone digging deeper into the rich, sprawling world of Marvel's mutants.
