She was a mutant who idolized Magneto , and used her own magnetic powers to emulate him. She offered J2 the chance to stand by her side against the forces of evil, a force they would attack proactively (as long as he pledged his blind obedience to her). When he refused, she attacked him. However, she ended her battle when J2's team A-Next came to find him. Later, she invited J2 to come with her to visit his father's old partner in-crime Black Tom , willing to forgive his past actions against her.
