Mei Igarashi

Fresh from the Modern Age frontier of Marvel's ever-expanding universe, Mei Igarashi made her entrance in 2024's Dead X-Men #2, brought to life by artist Lucas Werneck in what has already proven to be a collector-worthy debut. In just a handful of years she's racked up 53 catalog appearances — a remarkable foothold for such a new character — with two of those issues already flagged as key picks for serious collectors. Her adventures run through high-stakes titles like Ultimate X-Men, Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion, and Ultimate Endgame, placing her squarely at the heart of Marvel's boldest modern storytelling. She keeps extraordinary company too, sharing pages with the likes of Wolverine, Logan, Tony Stark, and Black Panther — a sign that Mei Igarashi is no background player, but a rising presence worth tracking from the very beginning.
