She’s also the ex-wife of Bill Foster (Black Goliath), who tragically died during Civil War. Claire worked at a health clinic alongside Dr. Noah Burstein, the man responsible for giving Luke his powers. She and Luke shared a deep connection. Claire even left the East Coast to officially divorce Bill, signaling how serious things were getting. Ultimately, Claire walked away — not from love, but from the constant danger that came with being close to a hero. A powerful, historic spread — packed with emotion, legacy, and significance.
