Warbird

A proud and formidable Shi'ar warrior, this Warbird arrived at the newly founded Jean Grey School for Higher Learning as the personal bodyguard of Kid Gladiator, son of the Shi'ar Majestor Gladiator, tasked with keeping watch over the young Superguardian during his time among the X-Men's student body on Earth.

Warbird soared onto the scene in 2012, a Modern Age creation from artist Chris Bachalo debuting in the pages of Wolverine & the X-Men — a title that immediately placed her in extraordinarily prestigious company, sharing adventures with heavy-hitters like Wolverine, Beast, and Iceman. Over the following decade she carved out a presence across some of Marvel's most beloved X-corner titles, including Astonishing X-Men and Wolverine, proving she was no one-issue curiosity. With 35 catalog appearances spanning into the 2020s, she's a distinctive Modern Age figure worth tracking down for any fan who loves discovering the compelling characters that orbit Marvel's mutant universe.
