Marvel retained the same basic look, although little by little their version of Angela has started wearing more clothing. But it turned out the girl hadn't been slain after all the Angels had taken her as one of their own, bringing her up as "Angela." A Spawn character had made a remarkable transition into the Marvel Comics universe, and had actually become Thor's big sister. Angela slipped through the cracks from the Realm of Heven, which was ultimately revealed to have been cut off from the World Tree by Odin after the Angels of Heven killed his first-born daughter. She made her Marvel debut in the "Age of Ultron" event, which saw the entire time-space continuum shattered.

There's a rich degree of irony in all this, given Image had been founded in an attempt to give creators a stronger degree of ownership. Gaiman and McFarlane settled their dispute in 2012, and as part of the agreement Gaiman was given full control of Angela. But the two then got caught up in further legal wrangling over just how much money had been made from Angela, as well as some analogue characters McFarlane had created.
A jury granted Gaiman joint ownership of two issues of Spawn, an Angela spinoff miniseries, and the disputed characters. The two initially attempted to reach an agreement, but it soon fell through, and in 2002 Gaiman filed a lawsuit. McFarlane and Gaiman had a high-profile dispute over just who owned the character rights to Angela, with McFarlane insisting Gaiman had been on a work-for-hire contract.
