Marvel Legends - LILITH!

Strange Tales (Blackheart Series) - Lilith Mother of All Demons - Hasbro 2024

In 1992, in the pages of Ghost Rider #28, the second character named Lilith was introduced into the Marvel Universe. The first Lilith was Dracula's Daughter and has been a fixture in Marvel's more macabre comics since 1974. But this new character was very different, both visually as well as her role in the comics. This Lilith is an ancient (Atlantean) deity known as The Mother of All Demons. She actually gives birth to demons who are forever obedient to her. I remember reading her first storyline as it was published. There was a random X-Men/Ghost Rider crossover (#26-27) that got me to read my first Ghost Rider comic, and the immediate next issue (which I decided to stick with) was the start of the Rise of the Midnight Sons arc that introduced her. She has always been a visually iconic character to me. But I won't lie, I had completely forgotten her name until this figure was announced. This action figure is a blast from the past and a really great Halloweeny character to revisit. Let's check her out below!




















Lilith comes with two sets of hands and a removable cape.
























Below is Lilith's first cover appearance (her third interior appearance)







Lilith comes with the Right Arm for the Build-a-Figure Blackheart (plus an alternate hand).






Lilith's hair is composed of a smoky-colored translucent plastic.




















Time for a Comparison Pic!




Cheers!
