Ava'Dara Naganandini

Bursting onto the scene in 2012 courtesy of the creative team of Marjorie Liu and Mike Perkins, Ava'Dara Naganandini is a striking Modern Age addition to Marvel's cosmos, debuting in Astonishing X-Men #49 and carving out her presence across titles like Wolverine & the X-Men and Astonishing X-Men: Northstar. Her appearances place her in electrifying company — sharing pages with heavy hitters like Wolverine, Iceman, and Warbird — which speaks to the caliber of storytelling she's woven into. Though her catalog footprint is compact, she's the kind of character that passionate Marvel readers love to track down, a gem of the early 2010s X-Men corner of the universe that rewards the curious collector willing to dig in.
