Alternative Rock
Birmingham, Alabama, USA

Heather Bray/Heywood (MAP, Summer Darling, Kissing Cousins, Viscous Cousins) started Marvel in Birmingham, Alabama with her boyfriend at the time. The name came from a scripture verse, but they ran into various troubles because of Marvel Comics. Two of their songs were featured on an M&M Records compilation called Thirty-One Flavors. The band was in talks with Rescue Records at one point, but their main band P.O.D. signed with Atlantic Records and Rescue Records closed up right after that.

1996/1997 Independent

Heather Heywood mentioned on a Velvet Blue Music podcast that the band had recorded an EP.
