Skeeter MacPherra, Titania is to appear in the upcoming She-Hulk TV series for Disney+. The character created by Jim Shooter and Mike Zeck first appeared in Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #3 in 1984, alongside Marsha Rosenberg, Volcana. Two characters who weren’t chosen by The Beyonder to fight, but had their neighbourhood transported by the Beyonder to make up the Patchworld Planet, and who are experimented on by Doctor Doom to be given superhuman powers. Originally joining with the supervillains, in later years, she has reformed into more of an antihero. Titania will be played by actor Jameela Jamil in the upcoming show. And naturally, that means a little speculatory attention towards that first appearance of hers. Heritage Auctions have a 9.8 CGC slabbed copy up for auction, currently at $154.
