Amparo

Stepping onto the page in Mark Waid and George Pérez's celebrated The Brave and the Bold in 2007, Amparo is a Modern Age DC character whose brief but memorable presence unfolds alongside some genuinely exciting company — Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes, Supergirl, and La Dama among them. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's the kind of discovery that rewards deep-dive readers who love unearthing the quieter corners of a landmark series. If you're working through Waid and Pérez's visually stunning run, Amparo is one of those characters who reminds you how richly populated even the margins of a great comic can be.
