Eventually, however, she learned that the Right was utilizing her technology to destroy mutants. Being a mutant herself, she was furious and tried to halt this use of her work.The Right, however, captured her and imprisoned her within an egg-shaped cyborg battlesuit that she had herself designed. They hoped to force her to work for them permanently. Apparently her sanity was somewhat damaged by the shock of what had happened to her.
