Who is Tempest?

Tempest is a member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, the elite military corps that serves the Shi'ar Empire's Majestrix. First encountered when the Guard clashed with the X-Men over the fate of Phoenix, Tempest wields wind and cold-based abilities in service of the empire.

Tempest made their Marvel Comics debut in the pages of The X-Men #107 in 1977, born from the legendary Bronze Age creative partnership of Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum at the height of their world-expanding run. That first appearance is recognized as a key issue by collectors, placing Tempest right at the heart of one of comics' most celebrated eras. Over nearly five decades, this character has kept remarkable company β€” sharing pages with cosmic heavyweights like Gladiator, Kallark, Starbolt, and Oracle β€” and has turned up across titles as varied as Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool: Badder Blood, proof of a quietly enduring presence in the Marvel universe worth tracking down.
