Hepzibah

Few characters in Marvel's cosmic corner carry the same swashbuckling mystique as Hepzibah, who burst onto the scene in The X-Men #107 in 1977, conjured by the legendary team of Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum at the height of the Bronze Age's most ambitious storytelling era. A proud member of both the Starjammers and the X-Men, she's spent nearly five decades adventuring alongside the likes of Corsair, Ch'od, and Cyclops — the kind of company that tells you everything about the scale of the stories she inhabits. With 75 catalog appearances stretching from 1977 all the way to 2024 and four key issues to her name, Hepzibah is no background player — she's a durable, genuinely beloved figure woven deep into Marvel's cosmic and mutant mythologies. If you love the wild, star-spanning side of the X-Men universe, she's absolutely worth seeking out.
