Warning: contains spoilers for Blood Hunters #3!A former ing character within Spider-Man lore, Hallows’ Eve is quickly becoming a Marvel powerhouse - one who could rival the likes of Thor himself. Empowered by Limbo’s dark magic and a drive to prove herself, Hallows’ Eve has the spark to become one of Marvel’s most powerful beings. All that stands between her and godly power is the right Halloween mask.

Blood Hunters #3 - from Erica Schultz and Robert Gill – subtly reveals Eve's growing potential. In order to save Dagger, Eve reveals her witch mask - a tool which instantly grants her the ability to use magic, despite her lack of mystic knowledge.

Hallows' Eve gains new powers whenever she wears different masks, and the witch mask turns Eve into a powerful spellcaster. While Hallows' Eve is a relatively new character (at least in her costumed guise), her rapidly expanding abilities make her a truly powerful hero. While she has to select between one at a time, Hallows' Eve now has powers ranging from god-tier strength to literal magic. Eve's many masks include:

• The Ghost Mask - Grants both intangibility and invisibility
• The Hulk Mask - Grants Hulk-level physical strength
• The Captain America Mask - Grants super strength and Captain America’s shield
• The Spider-Man Mask - Grants all of Spider-Man’s powers and web-slinging abilities

Hallows' Eve Combines Magic Power With Hulk Strength

A love interest of Spider-Man's clone Ben Reilly, Janine's story originally ended with her turning herself into the police to make up for past crimes. Janine didn't show up in the comics for the next 25 years, but was eventually brought back by the Beyond Corporation to entice Ben Reilly to act as the company’s corporately endorsed Spider-Man. Sadly, Ben Reilly met with tragedy, transforming into the villainous Chasm. Desperate to find the power necessary to reclaim his humanity, the duo traveled to Limbo to make a deal with the Goblin Queen, Madelyne Pryor.

Madelyne, seeing a reflection of her early self in Janine and sensing Janine’s frustration at being unable to help Ben, offered her the same dark magical catalyst that originally gave the Jean Grey clone her mystical powers. Transformed to harness Limbo’s complicated magic, the newly reborn Hallows' Eve was gifted a bottomless bag of masks that grant her powers associated with the mask's visage. In Blood Hunters #3, it is revealed that a mask can impart Janine with not just the physical powers but also the knowledge of the mask's subject, including the ability to wield ancient magic.

Hallows' Eve Is as Strong as Limbo's Infinite Magic

Hallows' Eve using the witch mask to teleport the Blood Hunters to safety shows a new level to her power, suggesting there's no true limit on her abilities. While becoming strong or developing spider-powers is one thing, magic is near limitless in Marvel lore, depending on the 's personal knowledge and command of the mystic arts. If Hallows' Eve can summon this deep knowledge of magic at will, then there's little she can't accomplish. Hypothetically, Janine could pull a mask of Thor, or Chthon, or even Eternity and instantly possess their full strength.

As Hallows' Eve, Janine is still fairly new to Marvel's comics, only having made her rebranded debut in 2022. However, the current potential of her possibly infinite wellspring of transformative masks makes her a character that fans should pay attention to. Marvel has made great strides to resurrect other previous D-Listers like the Hood and 8-Ball, but Hallows’ Eve already stands above them all. While only time will tell what this magical antihero’s future will entail, Hallows' Eve's mystical potential has gone way beyond her current fame, making her abilities more in line with Thor than a rebranded '90s character.

Blood Hunters #3 is now available from Marvel Comics.
