The newest superhero team from Marvel Comics, the New Champions, are leading the charge for the upcoming generation, comparable to the New Mutants in their awkward teenage years. The New Champions came together after managing to break free from a malicious Hydra-tech lab where they were held captive and brainwashed. Since then, they have regrouped on the outside with a desire for retribution. These young heroes are still learning to harness their powers while juggling their daily responsibilities like curfews. The New Champions present a new perspective on an old theme, with at least one character, Hellrune, who could potentially shine as brightly as DC’s renowned goth character, Raven from the Teen Titans. With her flock of death birds, enigmatic magical abilities, and a mystical spear, Hellrune has the potential to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Raven.
In the comic book series Spider-Woman (Volume 8, Issue 7), a character named Hellrune made her debut. Since escaping Hydra’s cruel experiments, this teenager has been exploring the boundaries of her emerging powers and navigating the challenges of adolescence. Living in a foster home after being orphaned, Hellrune grapples with feelings of abandonment. On her 13th birthday, she received an enigmatic spear that mysteriously appeared. This spear, with its vibrant purple hair, empowers Hellrune to summon a flock of magical ravens in search of her biological family. If they are still alive. Through the spear, Hellrune can unleash a stunning variety of supernatural spells, but she is still learning and understanding the full capabilities of this artifact. The spear-linked abilities such as teleportation, summoning lightning, flying, conjuring prismatic energy bands, and commanding spectral ravens are at her disposal. However, Hellrune’s teammate, Fantasma, suspects the spear is tainted with a curse. The true nature of the spear remains unclear, and many of its powers remain untapped.
Characterized by an enigmatic spear, cryptic spells, and an unknown origin, Hellrune stands out in the Marvel universe as a triple threat, setting her up for stardom in the world of comics. The untold tales of her past add intrigue, while the puzzle of her arcane abilities offers ample storytelling potential.
For instance, delving into the ancient tome, the Darkhold, could reveal more about her power or lead to its corruption. Hellrune may refine her magic under the tutelage of Doctor Strange or Victor Von Doom, and learning from Scarlet Witch could prove to be mischievously entertaining—given that she has a connection with Amaranth, her new teammate who is also a sorceress.
The mystery lies in Hellrune’s magic, unlike the dependable, advanced technology used by some heroes like Stark-tech. Magic can be unstable and capricious, as experienced by Stephen Strange.
In the creation of “New Champions”, led by Steve Foxe, Ivan Fiorelli, Ig Guara, and Arthur Helsi, we are presented with a fresh set of heroes brimming with potential for both adolescent struggles and optimistic futures. It’s evident that not all thirteen characters will ultimately be part of the main cast, while some may embark on more significant journeys. Among these characters, Hellrune captivates due to her enigmatic powers and the intriguing mysteries surrounding her obscure past. This intrigue has the potential to keep readers engaged and pave the way for further examination in a profitable mini-series. At present, Hellrune takes a break from “New Champions”, venturing into her occult talents and reconnecting with her druidic Aunt Veleda on an ancient Viking fortress situated off the Norwegian coast.
