A young mutant who ran away from her family and was taken in by Mystique and Destiny as foster mothers, becoming a member of the former's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and eventually leaving them to join the X-Men. Unable to control her powers for the majority of her history, she was forced to avoid touching others at all cost in order to avoid draining their energy, though when faced with a combat situation this power became a major asset, allowing her to temporarily absorb the powers and even memories of her adversaries. She would later go on to marry fellow X-Men member Remy "Gambit" LeBeau, though the two have currently separated.
