Topaz

Topaz is a mystical empath of uncertain origin who first appeared as a familiar bonded to the sorcerer Taboo, her formidable empathic and telepathic powers used to serve his will. She eventually broke free of that servitude, becoming an independent mystic ally to both Werewolf by Night and Doctor Strange.

Conjured into existence in the Bronze Age pages of Werewolf by Night #15 (1974) by the legendary team of Marv Wolfman and Mike Ploog, Topaz is one of Marvel's most enduring figures in the world of the supernatural — a character who has kept remarkable company across five decades of comics. Her journey through Marvel's mystic corners has seen her share adventures with Stephen Strange, Jack Russell, Wong, and Rintrah, appearing most prominently in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, Werewolf by Night, and Strange Tales — the very heartland of Marvel's occult storytelling. With 63 catalog appearances stretching from 1974 all the way to 2024 and four collector-recognized key issues to her name, she's proven herself far more than a Bronze Age curiosity. For fans who love Marvel's shadowy, supernatural side, Topaz is absolutely worth seeking out.
