Zoe Culloden

Zoe Culloden stepped onto the scene in 1997, introduced by Larry Hama and Adam Kubert in the pages of Wolverine — a title that was never short on intensity — and she carved out her niche in the Modern Age alongside some of Marvel's most formidable figures, sharing adventures with Logan himself, Storm, and Cannonball. Her appearances span both Wolverine and X-Men, placing her squarely in the thick of that era's most compelling mutant storytelling. She may be a compact presence in the catalog with nine appearances, but any character who keeps that kind of company and earns a place in those pages is well worth a second look for fans who love digging into the rich supporting cast that made the late '90s X-universe so vibrant.
