Angela is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Image Comics and Marvel Comics. Created by author Neil Gaiman and artist Todd McFarlane, the character first appeared in Spawn #9 (March 1993), in McFarlane's creator-owned series Spawn, and later starring in her own self-titled miniseries (launched in December 1994). She is an angel and a bounty hunter, working under the auspices of Heaven to oppose Spawn.

The character was later the subject of a legal battle between McFarlane and Gaiman over the rights to the character, which Gaiman won. Gaiman later sold the rights to the character to Marvel Comics; she was integrated into the Marvel Universe in the 2013 story "Age of Ultron",^[1] and her character was expanded upon in the 2014 storyline "Original Sin," where she was established to be Aldrif Odinsdottir, the Asgardian lost sister of Thor.^[2][3]
