Dani Moonstar

Few characters from the Bronze Age have proven as enduringly vital as Dani Moonstar, who burst onto the Marvel scene in 1982's Marvel Graphic Novel #4 — a landmark debut crafted by the legendary team of Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod. Over an extraordinary 44-year publishing history spanning The New Mutants, New Mutants, and The Uncanny X-Men, Dani has grown from a fresh-faced new voice in the X-Men corner of the Marvel Universe into one of its most resilient figures, racking up 340 catalog appearances and 25 collector-recognized key issues along the way. She's kept remarkable company throughout — sharing pages with the likes of Sam Guthrie, Roberto Da Costa, and others who helped define a generation of Marvel storytelling. If you're tracing the rich lineage of the X-Men's world, Dani Moonstar is an essential thread running through decades of it.
