Marvel Character Spotlight - Snowbird


Marvel Spotlight for this week is the hero Snowbird, also known as Narya.

A long, long time ago, the goddess of the Northern Lights had a kid with a human. She was made to prevent the Great Beasts from returning to Earth, and the leader of the Gods had made a barrier that only a halfling could pass, so the child was necessary. Michael Twoyoungmen was there to help the baby be born, and then he took the girl in.

Too bad she weakens if she leaves Canada's borders.

So, anyway, this guy took her in and she aged really quickly, and they were both recruited into Alpha Flight. She got the name Anne McKenzie as well, so she officially had a secret identity.

She fell in love, had a kid, and died a bit later. But that's not the interesting part.

No, she pulls a Green Arrow on us and comes back from the dead!

She comes back with a new body (because her old one was given to her teammate somehow...) and is no longer restricted to Canada's borders.

Then her marriage crumbled too.

So, we have one sad half-goddess to take care of.

I don't know. I like her; she seems interesting.

Ah, well, that's the Spotlight of a character you don't hear about all too often.
