The most daring and welcome event in What If — ? Season Two introduced a new character with no prior connection to Marvel continuity. Voiced by Devery Jacobs, Kahhori lives in a previously undiscovered dimension, descended from Mohawks who fled Earth to create paradise. Of course, paradise never lasts, but Kahhori fights to restore harmony with nature.
While Jacobs also showed up in live-action as part of the cast of the underrated Echo, Kahhori had stayed in animation. Until now. This year, she will cross into Earth-616, the main Earth of the Marvel Universe in comics.
It’s about time. For now, it’s only a one-shot, but there’s room in the marketplace for more than one shots when it comes to underrepresented voices in comics. Maybe Jacobs herself would like to write an arc?
