Virginia Dare

Virginia Dare is one of Marvel's most intriguing alternate-universe creations, stepping out of the Modern Age with a debut catalogued in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 — a fitting introduction for a character whose very existence signals something fascinatingly off-kilter about the Marvel cosmos. Conceived by the legendary Alex Ross, she inhabits the richly reimagined Elizabethan world of Marvel's 1602 universe, where she keeps remarkable company alongside the likes of Rojhaz, Sir Nicholas Fury, and a Steve Rogers who is very much not the one you'd expect. Her appearances across Marvel 1602: 10th Anniversary Edition and Spider-Man 1602 make her a treasured thread in one of Marvel's most beloved prestige projects, and for collectors who prize the strange and the singular, those handful of appearances carry real weight.
