Ironheart

A rare gem from Marvel's early 2000s Modern Age, Ironheart made her debut in Avataars: Covenant of the Shield #2 in 2000, brought to life by the creative team of Len Kaminski, Oscar Jimenez, and Javier Saltares. This alternate-universe tale places her in vivid company — sharing pages with the likes of Iron Man, Prince Avalon, Witchfire, and Dreadlord — painting a world of high fantasy and Marvel mythology colliding in fascinating ways. With only a handful of catalog appearances, she's a genuine collector's curiosity, the kind of obscure find that makes digging through the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 feel like striking gold. For fans who love the roads Marvel didn't take, Ironheart is exactly the sort of intriguing footnote worth tracking down.
