Veil

Stepping out of the early '90s Marvel universe in The New Mutants Annual #7, Veil is a Copper/Modern Age creation from the pens of Fabian Nicieza and Guang Yap — a character whose debut landed in a key collector issue and whose presence echoes across a surprisingly wide stretch of Marvel history, from 1991 all the way into 2013. Her most notable spotlight comes in Fear Itself: Avengers Academy, placing her squarely in the company of figures like Vance Astrovik and Robbie Baldwin — a roster that signals she moves in serious Marvel circles. With a profile substantial enough to earn a place in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z, Veil is exactly the kind of deep-catalog gem that rewards the curious reader willing to dig past the marquee names.
