Polaris

Polaris made her mark in 1997, stepping onto the page in X-Men #4 under the creative hands of Fabian Nicieza, Andy Kubert, Ron Garney, and Reinhard Schweizer — a Modern Age debut from Panini Deutschland that planted her firmly in the rich, sprawling world of mutantkind. Over nearly three decades of publication, she's kept extraordinary company, sharing adventures with the likes of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Rogue, and Scott Summers across titles including X-Men, Die furchtlosen X-Men, and Captain Marvel. With 27 years of appearances to her name, Polaris is a quietly enduring presence in this corner of the comics world — the kind of character that rewards the collector who takes a closer look.
