Cleopatra

Debuting in the tongue-in-cheek Marvel No-Prize Book #1 in 1983, this Cleopatra is a Bronze Age Marvel creation brought to life by a remarkable creative team that includes Steve Ditko and Roger Stern. With nine catalog appearances stretching nearly four decades, she's a compact but persistent presence in the Marvel universe, most at home in the mystical corners of the line — her strongest footprint falls across Doctor Strange titles, where she shares pages with the likes of Stephen Strange, Thor, and Spider-Man. Niche, yes, but any character with a key-issue credit and that kind of sorcerous company is absolutely worth a second look for the dedicated Marvel completist.
