Biography
A student at the Algar University outside Chicago. She was one of many new mutants who received their powers after the Avengers Vs. X-men event. As a mutant who saw how Cyclops saved their race and brought about its reemergence, she watched his revolution intently. After the events of INFINITY where the Terrigen cloud was released and Secret Wars she watched Cyclop’s “death” and his branding as the “most hated mutant” after he tried to take the fight to the Inhumans for the fact that their Terrigen cloud was killing and sterilizing his race.
She joined Thirst and a handful of new mutants who branded themselves the “Ghosts of Cyclops” and terrorized and robbed humans. In a chance meeting, they ran into the young time-displaced Cyclops who engaged them in battle. After they escaped when the police arrived Young Cyclops tracked them down and she notified her team of his presence. In this new battle, they gained the upper hand and young Cyclops revealed his identity before passing out. Shocked they planned to take him with them before the All-New X-men arrived [All New X-men #1].
Hold up. A new Mutant in the X-Men? I thought it was an EDITORIAL MANDATE by Disney and Ike Perlmutter that no more mutant characters were to be created to avoid giving Fox more characters to use in their X-men movies. But this character premiered this month? What changed? Did Marvel do an about face, or did Mark and Dennis manage to get a new character past Marvel and Disney’s radar?
