's Hunters Moon 2021 for
Halloween there was a party next to an old graveyard. Things are
getting weird for my OCs and have been grabbed by some mysterious
force. It seems that even the dead are party poopers.Polaris (Lorna Dane) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Arnold Drake and Jim Steranko, Polaris first appeared in The X-Men #49 (October 1968). For the majority of her publication history, she has been a member of either the X-Men or one of its sister groups, such as X-Factor. In comics published from 1987 to 1989, she was possessed by a telepathic entity called Malice. In comics published from 2000 to 2001 she was a member of the Acolytes and Magneto's cabinet on Genosha. She was shown to be one of the few survivors of a genocide on the island carried out by Wild Sentinels.
A
mutant, Polaris can control magnetism in a manner similar to Magneto,
whom she long suspected to be her biological father. This relationship
was confirmed in Uncanny X-Men #431 (November 2003). She has also
had a complicated long term relationship with the X-Man Havok, to whom
she was engaged, and has been characterized as struggling with recurrent
mental health issues. Emma Dumont portrays Polaris in the television
series The Gifted.
Lorna Dane is a mutant, born of an
affair between her mother Suzanna and Magneto. Her mother's husband,
Arnold, later learned of this affair and confronted his wife while he
was flying her and Lorna on his plane. An argument erupted, upsetting
the infant Lorna whose desperation to make her parents stop fighting
caused an early manifestation of her immense magnetic abilities, which
caused a magnetic pulse that destroyed the plane and killed her parents,
as well as giving her hair its iconic green color. Lorna survived the
crash and was found by her true father, Magneto, who had been drawn to
the location by her magnetic pulse. Believing that she was not ready for
her abilities or the life he could offer her, he had his associate
Mastermind use his illusion powers to re-write Lorna's memories of that
day, leaving her to believe that her parents died in a plane crash when
she was an infant. Lorna was raised by Arnold's sister and her husband, and grew up thinking that they were her real parents.
When
Lorna was nearly 20 years old, she met Iceman after being identified as
a mutant by Cerebro. Lorna's magnetic powers emerged when she was
controlled by Mesmero and subjected to a 'mutant energy stimulator'
device. He then convinced Lorna that she was the daughter of Magneto
(unaware that this was in fact the truth), cohercing her to work with
him and her supposed father against the X-Men. Iceman, however, managed
to reach her and present "evidence" that convinced Lorna that her true
parents had died in a plane crash years earlier, making her turn against
Magneto, who was revealed to be an android double. Lorna returned home
with the X-Men and, eventually, joined the team. In the Xavier's School
for Gifted Youngsters, the X-Men were tutored by Professor Charles
Xavier and trained in the use of their powers in the Danger Room. For a
while, Iceman had a crush on her, but Lorna didn't truly reciprocate the
feelings. Lorna did, however, fall in love with her teammate Havok, the
brother of Cyclops. They both served for a time as active X-Men and
helped Professor X repel an invasion by the alien Z'nox. Later with the
X-Men, they met Ka-Zar in the Savage Land, where Lorna invented her
first "code name" Magnetrix. Even though she quickly dropped the
name, Havok continued to use it as a way to annoy and flirt with her.
When Lorna first encountered the real Magneto in the Savage Land, she
was surprised that he did not know who she was. They were, later,
targeted by the Promise, and met the Hulk. Later, the X-Men and a
number of mutants were kidnapped, by the Secret Empire, to harness their
energy to power an "Electron-Gyro." After Number One landed the saucer
on the White House lawn and defeated Moonstone, the Secret Empire was
defeated by Cyclops, Captain America, the Falcon, and Marvel Girl.
When
the old and new X-Men together fought the island Krakoa, it seemed
Lorna displayed her major power potential for the first time as she
disrupted the Earth's magnetic field, flinging Krakoa into deep space.
Years later, it was revealed that Prof. Xavier actually altered the
minds of everyone to cover-up the fact that his second team of X-Men
were all slaughtered attempting to save them. Following the X-Men's
battle against the island Krakoa, Lorna and Alex left the X-Men to
pursue their mutual interest in geophysics, attending graduate school in
Nevada.
Lorna received her Shi'ar designed costume when her mind
came under the domination of the Shi'ar Intelligence agent, Davan
Shakari, also known as Erik the Red. It was he who gave Lorna the code
name Polaris At the time, Shakari served D'Ken Neramani, the emperor of
the Shi'ar Galaxy, later deposed in favor of his sister, Lilandra
Neramani. Shakari kidnapped Alex and Lorna and subjected them to a
powerful form of mind control: they were turned against the X-Men and
attempted to assassinate Prof. Xavier. A massive battle ensued at
Kennedy International Airport, with the duo battling the X-Men.
Polaris was defeated by Storm, but Shakari managed to escape with both
her and Alex. Eventually, Prof. Xavier freed Lorna and Alex from
Shakari's contro and they stayed on Muir Island for their recovery.
