Any of you familiar with the FOX show The Gifted are already familiar with Lorna Dane, albeit a different version. Lorna was the illegitimate daughter of Magneto and inherited his magnetic superpowers, but with sweet green hair as a bonus. She was discovered by the X-Men and joined the team for a time, where she’d meet the love of her life, Alex Summers, who we’re talking about next.
She and Alex tried to retire from the X-Men numerous times but they just kept getting dragged back in by various superhero events. She would eventually give up and go superhero full time alongside her beau on the second iteration of X-Factor. Her powers were stripped during M-Day but Apocalypse gave them back with a heavy supply of “being a horseman of Apocalypseâ€. She bounced around a lot but usually found herself on the many incarnations of X-Factor, sometimes alongside Havok, sometimes not.
