Who is Earth-Mover?

Origin The first person to be called Earthmover was a geologist named Jeanne Chretien. She was empowered with earth manipulation powers by the "firefountain", a device used by Loki to empower normal humans. Unfortunately, that empowerment took away their imagination in the process. Her powers were removed when Those Who Sit Above decided that Loki's gift was being forced on those who were empowered by the firefountain. Chuck Moss was invited by Shaman to train as a member of Alpha Flight. Shaman asked him to postpone his visit for a few days as he had business to take care of. That business was a former shaman that had come back in demon form to control the new mystic. Shaman, along with Wolverine, managed to free Sasquatch, Puck, and Snowbird from the demon's influence.
