Maxine Walters

A creature of Marvel's gritty mid-eighties street-level scene, Maxine Walters stepped onto the page in 1985 courtesy of Jim Owsley and Mark Bright, debuting in the pages of Power Man and Iron Fist — one of the Bronze Age's most kinetic and beloved team-up titles. Her handful of appearances keep her in seriously compelling company, sharing adventures with Luke Cage and Danny Rand themselves, as well as the enigmatic Tyrone King. She may be a compact presence in the catalog, but characters like Maxine are exactly the kind of find that remind dedicated readers why digging deep into Bronze Age Marvel is always worth the effort.
