Gloriana

A creature of British Marvel mythology, Gloriana made her entrance in 2009's Captain Britain and MI13 Annual #1, conjured by the acclaimed team of Paul Cornell and Adrian Alphona at the height of that series' celebrated run. She moves through some of the most storied corners of Marvel's British Isles, sharing pages with the Braddock siblings, Meggan, and even Remy LeBeau across titles like Knights of X and Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain. Her appearances may be selective — seventeen across fourteen years — but that kind of focused, recurring presence in prestige British-Marvel storytelling speaks to a character who clearly resonates with the writers who know this corner of the universe best. If you're exploring the rich, fantastical side of Marvel's UK mythology, Gloriana is absolutely worth seeking out.
