Stitch (Jodi Furman) is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe. Her first appearance was in "Alpha Flight Special #1".

Fictional character biography

Jodi was an extremely withdrawn young woman when she was found by James Hudson, who recruits her into Department H.

She became a member of the original Alpha Flight team named First Flight. While training, she is attacked by the then-feral Wild Child. Wolverine saves her from further injury.

Later, Wolverine notes that Stitch's first friendly gesture since arriving is a friendly hug for fellow team member Groundhog.

First Flight is sent to confront Egghead and his associates, who have claimed Canadian territory in order to aim a nuclear missile at New York city. During the battle, Stitch uses her powers to control the Swordsman. Despite this, the battles goes poorly. Flight member Saint Elmo sacrifices his life to destroy the missile.

After the mission she stayed with Department H for a time, but eventually leaves for parts unknown.

Powers and Personality

Diagnosed as an "egophobe" (someone who is scared of their own self and in her case, powers), Jodi is a mutant with the ability to control small pieces of metal with amazing precision, most commonly a needle which earned her the codename Stitch.
