Arcanna is the name of two different fictional comic book characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The first character debuted as a member of the team of superheroes called the Squadron Supreme in The Defenders #112 (October 1982). The other first appeared in Supreme Power #18 (April 2005), later joining a team of super heroes also called the Squadron Supreme.

Squadron Supreme (Earth-712)

The origin of Arcanna's magical abilities is still unknown. Arcanna originally worked as a medium before becoming a professional crime fighter who captured criminals for profit. Phillip Jones was her husband who stayed home to raise their children Drusilla, Katrina and Andrew. She later accepted an offer of membership into the Squadron Supreme, making her the fifth recruit.

Midway through the Squadron Supreme maxi-series, Arcanna discovered she was pregnant. Fearing that the other members of the Squadron would curtail her duties as they had during her previous pregnancies, she kept her condition a secret. She and her family moved into Squadron City, the Squadron's new headquarters. She went into labor during the climactic battle with Nighthawk's Redeemers. At the end of the series she gave birth to her son, Benjamin Thomas Jones.
