Khora of the Burning Heart

Blazing onto the scene in 2021's S.W.O.R.D. #5 under the pen of Al Ewing, Khora of the Burning Heart is one of Marvel's most intriguingly named Modern Age arrivals — a character whose very title crackles with mythic intensity. She moves through the pages of S.W.O.R.D., Trials of X, and X-Men: Book of Revelation, keeping remarkable company alongside icons like Storm and Wolverine. Still relatively rare in the catalog with just twelve appearances, Khora carries the allure of a character whose story feels genuinely unfinished — a gem for readers who love getting in early on a compelling new voice in the Marvel cosmos.
