Fictional character biography
Dragonfly was originally a winged female member of the second group of Ani-Men. She and the other three Ani-Men were given their powers by scientists in the employ of the crime lord Count Nefaria. Dragonfly and the Ani-Men went up against the X-Men in her first appearance;[1] this was her only outing alongside the Ani-Men. She was later abducted by the alien Stranger to his laboratory world, where she and other abductees were manipulated by the Overmind into battling Quasar.[2] After she returned to Earth, she mutated further due to the Stranger's experiments, but Ant-Man aided her in returning to her normal appearance.[3] Later, she joined Superia's Femizons and battled Captain America and Paladin.[4] Not long after, Dragonfly and several other former Femizons battle Captain America again during an AIM weapons demonstration.[5] Much later, Dragonfly was invited to join the Crimson Cowl's Masters of Evil, where she battled the Thunderbolts. She, and the others, were defeated and sent to prison.[6] In new battle armor, she was sent to attack Jackie Dio alongside serval other criminals. Dio quickly defeated the villains by blowing up the building they were in.[7]
