Angela is a superhero created by Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, and formerly in comics published by Image Comics. She first appeared in Spawn #9, published in 1993 by Image, and starred in a self-titled limited series published in 1994. The character is an angel and bounty hunter working on behalf of Heaven, and is a recurring adversary and occasional ally to the antihero Spawn. A legal dispute between McFarlane and Gaiman over ownership of the character concluded in 2013 in Gaiman's favor. Gaiman subsequently sold the rights to the character to Marvel, where she debuted in the 2013 comic series Age of Ultron. The 2014 storyline "Original Sin" retroactively established a new origin story for Angela as Aldrif Odinsdottir, the sister of the superhero Thor.
