Gloria Mundi

Stepping out of the Modern Age Milestone/DC universe with a name that practically announces her ambition, Gloria Mundi made her debut in Static Shock!: Rebirth of the Cool #2 in 2001, brought to life by the legendary Dwayne McDuffie and the atmospheric artistry of John Paul Leon. Her appearances are rare and choice — just five in the catalog — but the company she keeps speaks volumes: she shares pages with Hardware, Blitzen, Iron Butterfly, and other heavy hitters of the Milestone universe before turning up in Justice League of America itself. For collectors who prize depth over volume, a character this selectively deployed, born from McDuffie's meticulous world-building, is exactly the kind of hidden gem worth tracking down.
