Who Is Teddy Remsen? Origin, Powers and Key Facts

Teddy Remsen is a Marvel comic book character, the alter ego of Theodora Remsen, with over 15 comic issue appearances. Paralyzed from the waist down after a cowardly bomb attack, Theodore "Teddy" Remsen nonetheless developed dream powers like her brother's - if to a lesser extent - which she uses to help him in his revolutionary dream therapy at the Ballad clinic.

Who is Teddy Remsen?

Other than the bizarre mental link she shared with her brother Keith, Teddy Remsen was a perfectly ordinary young girl. She grew up with two wonderful psychologist parents, and was thinking of becoming one herself, just like her brother, who was going to Switzerland to study with her parents' instructor, Doctor Horst Kleinmann. This never happened, however. Kleinmann believed that Keith was being sent by his parents to spy on his new dream therapy techniques, and being quite mad, he arranged for a flunky to plant a bomb on them at the airport. Sure enough, the thing detonated (if early), and wiped Teddy's parents off the face of the earth. In addition, Keith dropped into a coma, and Teddy's ability to walk was forever lost. About two months later, Keith came out of his coma, doing so as the mysterious White Event occurred. It soon became apparent that Keith was changed by his ordeal (or alternately, because of the Event), as he was manifesting control over the dreams of other people.
