Fictional character biography

Lorelei is a Savage Land native until Magneto turns her into a mutated siren, whose voice can put men into a hypnotic trance ["X-Men" #63] and she is placed in his Savage Land Mutates group. However, the machine that Magneto had used to empower his Savage Land creations is eventually destroyed. As a result, Lorelei lost her siren powers.

Some time later, she was seen ["Defenders" #15–16] with her powers somehow restored. She made a further appearance with the Brotherhood of Mutants ["Champions" #17] .

Years later, Lorelei was seen allied with the High Technician in the Savage Land. She battled Captain America and attempted to hypnotize the Falcon, but was quickly defeated by Diamondback. Much later, she manipulated Ka-Zar to battle Deadpool.
