Ruriko Tsumura

Ruriko Tsumura made her Marvel debut in the pages of Ghost Rider #75 in 1982 — a Bronze Age introduction courtesy of J. M. DeMatteis and Bob Budiansky — and her story quietly stretched across a remarkable quarter-century of Marvel history. An Avenger by affiliation, she found her deepest roots in the world of Captain America, sharing those action-packed pages with a memorable roster that includes Steel Wind, Diamondback, and Rachel Leighton. With a codified presence in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z: Update, she's a character the Marvel universe itself thought worth documenting — a small but genuine piece of the Bronze Age tapestry that rewards the curious collector willing to dig.
