Abigail Brand
Abigail Brand (Abigail Thanriaguiaxus) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Joss Whedon and artist John Cassaday, the character first appeared in Astonishing X-Men vol. 3 #3 (September 2004). Abigail Brand belongs to the subspecies of humans called mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities. She is the Commander of counterterrorism and intelligence agency S.W.O.R.D.
Abigail Brand debuted in Astonishing X-Men vol. 3 #3 (September 2004), created by writer Joss Whedon and artist John Cassaday. She appeared in the 2020 Empyre: Avengers Aftermath series. She appeared in the 2022 X-Men Red series, by writer Al Ewing and artist Stefano Caselli.
Abigail Brand is the commanding officer of S.W.O.R.D., an offshoot of S.H.I.E.L.D. that defends Earth from extraterrestrial threats. Almost no details about her personal life have been revealed, but she is known to be 28 years old as of the Skrulls' "Secret Invasion".
When the alien Ord comes to Earth due to being convinced that a mutant was destined to destroy his planet, Brand intervenes to avert interplanetary war. Brand acquiesces to Ord's plan to avert Earth's destruction by allowing Ord to create a 'cure' for the mutant 'condition'. It is later revealed that the mutant prophesied to destroy Breakworld was Colossus.
After her involvement in this plan is made known to the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury, Brand faces a board of inquiry to answer charges against her conduct. She defends her actions on the grounds that averting interplanetary warfare was a responsibility so great as to justify courses of action that would otherwise be considered immoral or illegal. This defense seems to have convinced the board, as Brand remains in command of S.W.O.R.D.
In a final attempt to draw Breakworld's forces away from Earth, Brand has the X-Men (including Colossus), Ord, and Danger teleport aboard a starship of S.W.O.R.D. and travel to Breakworld itself. Despite their past differences and Brand's continuing high-handed attitude, she attempts to work with the X-Men to find a solution to the crisis. After arriving on Breakworld, Brand and Beast become separated from the other X-Men, at which point they are forced to take shelter in a small cave to avoid a device that was altering weather to subfreezing temperatures. To Beast's astonishment, Brand demonstrates the ability to generate heat, allowing her to keep them both alive.
After meeting back up with the rest of the X-Men, Brand participates in an assault on Breakworld's doomsday device to stop it from destroying Earth. During the battle, Brand saves Beast from being hit by a laser and is severely wounded. While recovering, Brand admits to Beast that she is in love with him. It is also revealed that Brand is not her surname, but a sobriquet referencing her powers. Additionally, her father was an alien with a green, furry appearance similar to that of Beast.
Brand is present at the Peak, the headquarters of S.W.O.R.D., when it is destroyed by a Skrull posing as Dum Dum Dugan. Due to an emergency suit, she and a few other S.W.O.R.D. agents survive in space long enough to witness the arrival of the Skrull armada in Earth space. After boarding a Skrull ship, Brand witnesses the destruction the Skrulls are causing around Earth, which makes her shed a tear. Brand outsmarts the guards and kills every Skrull on board before freeing a captive Mister Fantastic, who returns her to Earth.
