Vaela is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Peter Milligan and artist Kelley Jones. Vaela first appeared in X-Statix #1 in 2001.

Vaela is an alien being who possesses a variety of extraordinary abilities. Her powers include superhuman strength, durability, and limited flight. She also has the ability to project energy blasts from her hands. Vaela's physiology is distinctly different from humans, contributing to her unique powerset.

Originally, Vaela was introduced as a member of the X-Statix, a team of mutants who operate as celebrities and superheroes. Her time with the team was marked by her distinctive personality and her struggles to integrate with her human teammates. She often displayed a detached and pragmatic approach to missions, which sometimes clashed with the more emotional dynamics of the X-Statix.

Throughout her appearances, Vaela's backstory and motivations have been explored, revealing her origins as an extraterrestrial seeking to understand or impact Earth. Her interactions with other characters, particularly those within the X-Statix, have been a significant aspect of her development. Vaela's unique perspective as an outsider has often provided a different lens through which to view the world and the mutant condition. Her presence in the Marvel Universe has contributed to the diverse array of alien characters and cosmic storylines.
