Marvel’s Miss Minutes, the charismatic AI program featured in the Loki series, has undeniably charmed fans all around the globe with her endearing clock-faced persona. This character’s captivating quirkiness and one-of-a-kind design have turned her into a sensation, gracing everything from t-shirts to cuddly plush toys. However, one question has been lingering in the minds of fans: Has Miss Minutes ever graced the pages of a Marvel comic book?
Is Miss Minutes in the comics?
The appearance of Miss Minutes in the Loki series inspired readers to consider her place in Marvel’s comic universe. Given her importance in the show, this question is totally justified. Miss Minutes, after all, is not your typical character. But first, let’s get to the bottom of this.
Many Marvel fans have been wondering if Miss Minutes has made her way into the world of comic comics. Unfortunately, the answer is, at least for the time being, a resounding negative. Miss Minutes’ lovely face has graced variant covers and advertising materials, but she has yet to appear as a character in a Marvel comic book.
C.B. Cebulski, editor-in-chief of Marvel’s Avengers Assemble, addressed a fan’s question about Miss Minutes’ comic book potential during a panel at New York Comic Con. To say the least, his remark was enticing: “I can’t say for sure.” Darcy and Alligator Loki have both appeared. Never, ever say never. She’s appeared on magazine covers. Only time shall tell…pun intended,” according to Pop Verse.
Who Exactly Is Miss Minutes?
For those who might be new to the captivating world of Miss Minutes, she is an AI program equipped with a charming Southern accent, playing an essential role in assisting the Time Variance Authority (TVA) in managing the complexities of the multiverse. Initially introduced as a friendly guide, her character’s depth is gradually unveiled as the series progresses.
As the narrative unfolds, we discover that Miss Minutes is more than just a helpful guide. She is intricately connected to He Who Remains and the TVA’s malevolent variant, Kang the Conqueror. This dual role, functioning both as a guide and a hidden ally, adds a layer of intrigue to her character.
Moreover, Miss Minutes is acutely aware of her origin, having been created by He Who Remains. This knowledge highlights her manipulative side. She attempts to broker a deal between Loki and Sylvie through her creator, delaying her file searches for Renslayer and even altering the files, potentially hindering their interference in He Who Remains’ grand design.
While her cheerful and polite demeanor is her default setting, she undeniably reveals a more condescending and twisted facet when the Loki Variants reject her offer. “Welcome to the Time Variance Authority. I’m Miss Minutes, and it’s my job to catch you up before you stand trial for your crimes,” is her introduction in the series.
As it stands, Miss Minutes is yet to grace the pages of a Marvel comic book. However, in the ever-expanding MCU, where surprises abound, there is hope that her comic book debut might be just around the corner. While patience may be required, fans can eagerly anticipate more Miss Minutes adventures in the vibrant world of comic books in the future.
