Fictional character biography

Glynis Zarkov and her husband Ilya Zarkov lived in the quiet fictional town of Leonia, New Jersey, when the Vision and Scarlet Witch came to live there. When the superheroes moved to the town, local bigots burned down their house. Determined to stay in the town, they bought another house. The Zarkov’s befriended and helped the superheroes, fearing that they might become targets too.

During the 2004 storyline Witches, Glamor was attacked by a demon called a Hellphyr and went into a coma. She has not been seen since.

Powers and abilities

As Glamor, Glynis has the ability to control the density of her body’s molecules, either increasing or decreasing her mass much as the Vision can do. By reducing her mass, Glamor can become intangible. She also has the ability to separate her body into segments without harm to herself, and rejoin the segments to regain her normal form.
