During this time, Lorna acted as both second-in-command of the team and Alex's lover. While their early efforts at destabilizing Vulcan's rule were highly successful, partially due to the hatred of his own subjects towards him, the rebellion was forced to ally with the tyrant. A merciless alien force calling themselves the "Scy'ar Tal" assaulted the Shi'ar world of Feather's Edge.
Claiming vengeance for a Shi'ar attack that had killed many of their people centuries ago, the Scy'ar Tal destroyed the planet using a massive super weapon called Finality. They then declared their intention to recapture their former home planet, the World, home of the M'Kraan Crystal.
While the two sides allied with each other and successfully defeated the menace, Polaris and the rest of the Starjammers were eventually betrayed and captured by Vulcan's forces. As the insane mutant solidifies his grip on power, Polaris and the Starjammers are now his prisoners, cut off from the X-Men and any hope of rescue. Polaris is held under constant sedation while imprisoned, due to the Shi'ar's inability to deal with her powers.
With the help of Lilandra, Lorna and the other prisoners are eventually freed. She and the Starjammers escape to Kree-space, where Lorna discovers that her sister-in-law and good friend, Crystal, is being wed to Ronan the Accuser, a move meant to solidify ties between the Inhumans and the Kree.
When the wedding is disrupted by the invading Shi'ar, and Lilandra captured, Lorna participates in a rescue attempt which concludes with them freeing Lilandra and bringing the powerful Gladiator to their side. As the war between Kree and Shi'ar escalates, Polaris and the Starjammers participate in an attempted political coup by Lilandra on the throne world of Chandrilar. Polaris then becomes a horrified witness when Lilandra is killed in the ensuing chaos.
While in battle during the War of Kings, Korvus and Rachel Summers lose their connection with the Phoenix Force along with all others host to it. Briefly after this, the Starjammers head back for Earth after Rogue, Gambit and Magneto come to their aid. Wolverine then takes Lorna and Alex to rejoin their former team X-Factor. Lorna soon finds her home at X-Factor Investigations. She and Havok would lead and keep the team together.
It was during this time she learned of the true reason behind the death of her parents, causing her to once again become severely unstable. Lorna's sanity was restored when Banshee chose to end her own life as a mortal and underwent apotheosis, becoming the new Morrigan , Goddess of War and Death.
X-Factor further changed after Lorna's longtime partner Havok chose to leave and join the Avengers. After a long conversation about their relationship, they ultimately parted as good friends. Lorna was approached by CEO of Serval Industries , Harrison Snow , and was asked to lead a new corporate team of mutants to help people. Lorna agreed and began recruiting members for her team. The latter two were still very young and inexperienced and weren't meant to be on the team initially.
Georgia joined Lorna's team after they battled her father, Memento Mori. Luna returned to Earth to visit her father, Pietro, after the press conference the team held in which Pietro admitted to the sins of his past. At first, the team was a bit dysfunctional, but since its inception, Lorna has proven to be a very capable and very worthy leader. She was approached by her half-sister, Wanda Maximoff , who expressed interest in "hanging out".
Wanda, Lorna, and Danger indulged in a girl's day out, where they attended a Renaissance Fair in which they prevented the burning of a human female by her crazed boyfriend. Wanda later revealed that she believed Lorna would make a brilliant Avenger, and asked her to consider joining the Uncanny Avengers Avengers Unity Squad.
Lorna refused, saying that she could never be an Avenger. Her loyalty was with the X-Men and her mutant people. Wanda, believing that Lorna already knew, revealed that Pietro had joined the team to spy on Lorna for her ex-boyfriend Alex Summers, aka Havok , the former leader of the Avengers Unity Squad. They acted as a response unit, preventing "World War Hate" from escalating.
Lorna used her abilities to lift a large well of water - the White House's Reflecting Pool - which was large enough to put out the fire that was consuming the property in and around the White House. The team used implants given to them by fellow teammate Warlock to prevent the Red Onslaught's hatred from affecting them. Gambit was injured when he used his powers and began to attack Lorna.
He steadily gained the upper hand because Lorna was trying not to hurt him. Warlock reinserted the implant, while Danger continued to battle the crazed mobs. Meanwhile, Doug was attempting to protect Georgia and Luna who had decided to leave Serval to help calm things down.
Luna used her powers to calm down the people who had been affected, while Georgia drained the nearest attackers of a good portion of their body's moisture, incapacitating them. Quicksilver had been busy stealing the "football" from the President of the United States. The "football" was, of course, the platform from which the country's nuclear missiles could be accessed.
Pietro stole it and hurried it away to Serval for protection, so that the President, in his altered state of mind, wouldn't do anything rash. He returned just in time to prevent Luna from being pierced by bullets. He whisked her away to safety, ordering Doug to take Luna and Georgia back to Serval. Georgia declared that she wanted a uniform. After realizing that they weren't making much of a dent, Lorna and the team pulled out and headed back to Serval, where the company's shields had been keeping "World War Hate" at bay.
However, a group of sentinels had soon amassed outside the shield. When Magneto started mentoring the young time-displaced X-men, he asked Lorna to join him. She became part of his group of tutors, including Shen Xorn, Bloodstorm and Daken. She joined them in some fights and reloacted with them to the island nation of Madripoor. There, Polaris also came closer to Magneto, whom now was evidently her true father.
Polaris mentored the children up until they eventually where brought back to their own time. Polaris eventually returned and helped out the X-Men team when she and almost every other X-Men where called upon to fight against a power-mad Nate Grey known as X-Man. During the battle, Polaris and most other X-Men where teleported into a strange warped reality known as the Age of X-Man.
In this reality, Polaris was a prisinor and knew nothing of her former self and her lives, just like all the other mutants. Luckily, the X-Men managed to regain their true memories and confronted Nate Grey.
Polaris joined the new mutant society and florished there. She came into contact with a few other mutants with whom she tried to solve the murder of the Canadian mutant known as Aurora. After she was ressurected, a new team consisting of Polaris, Northstar, Aurora, Rachel Grey and Daken became the new detective agency known, once more, as X-Factor.
Polaris rejoined the X-Men with its new version of the team. Polaris is seen in the Trial of Magneto as one of the mutants coming to detain Magneto after he was suspected of killing Scarlet Witch.
She had a confrontation with her father which impacted her emotionally and physically. Polaris once possessed the natural ability to manipulate magnetism. Although she had the potential to exercise all of the powers that Magento has, as yet she had only used powers involving the manipulation of magnetic, electrical, and gravitational fields. Moreover, she could not summon as great an amount of energy as Magneto could. The exact limits on the amount weight that she can magnetically lift at present have not been measured, but they are considerably below those of Magneto.
Since she has preferred not to use her powers in combat situations, she has not worked nearly as hard to develop them as Magneto has.
As with Magneto, it is unknown whether Polaris's powers were purely psionic or whether they derive from her physically. Polaris had been observed levitating metallic objects and creating force fields in which she can suspend persons or objects in the air and in which she can protect them from attacks from outside the fields.
She could also overload or short-circuit electrical systems. By concentrating, Polaris could perceive the world around herself solely as patterns of magnetic and electrical energy. She could perceive the natural magnetic auras surrounding living beings, as well.
At one time, when her magnetic powers were just temporarily inaccessible, Lorna possessed the ability to sense and feed off of negative emotions. She could then transduce those emotions into raw physical powers of strength, durability, and stamina.
She was de-powered by her half-siste r after M-Day, but almost immediately thereafter she was re-powered by Apocalypse when she was made into a horseman.
As his horseman, Lorna could assimilate and release all forms of disease and sickness. She was then cured of the plagues which she ingested as Pestilence, and in that respect seems to be back to normal.
It was then revealed that Apocalypse repowered her using Celestial tech and she again can manipulate electromagnetism. Polaris has stated that these new powers are more difficult to control compared to when she was a mutant and far more dangerous.
It has also been said by Emma Frost, that her powers are apparently mutating. Polaris also has green hair due to her X-Gene. She still has green hair now because like many other mutants she keeps her physical mutation after M-Day.
Reader Submitted Question: In War of Kings 2 it is stated that Polaris is a mutant again, but before that, it was unclear how the Celestial technology was repowering her. I was wondering what depowered mutants who have been repowered various ways are currently mutants again?
Marvel editor Tom Brevoort: I don't think this is a simply binary question--it'll be different in every case. It's still not been made clear precisely what the Celestial tech did to Polaris, and whether that amounts to reactivating her X-gene and returning her powers to her, or finding other ways of giving her similar abilities.
And I'd think this would be different for any other character who might have gotten their powers restored through some other means such as the return of Quicksilver's speed.
Some years later Rogue had permanently absorbed half of Polaris' magnetic powers. Some years later she is saved by Cyclops in disguised who she believed was her father.
In the Mutant X reality, Polaris was a long time member of the X-Men, assisting them on a number of missions before finally being killed after an intense battle with Madelyne Pryor and the Beyonder. In the Ultimate universe, Polaris was a student at the Academy of Tomorrow and was dating her fellow classmate Havok, after her previous relationship with his brother, Cyclops had ended. We first hear about her as being Alex Summers' girlfriend when the government is looking to recruit their own team of mutants.
They refuse to except her because her powers are too similar to Magneto, who was a known mutant terrorist. Polaris was among the students who had passed a field test, allowing her to assist local authorities from time to time.
During such a mission, Lorna's powers seemingly spiral out of control, killing dozens of humans before Havok is forced to subdue her. After being placed in the same prison that held Magneto, it is revealed that he had her set up when one of the Brotherhood members placed a magnetic device near her location. Magneto uses her imprisonment to his advantage, knowing that Havok and the other students will come to her aid. During the chaos that ensues, Magneto switches places with Mystique, and Lorna's name is cleared.
During the Ultimatum storyline, Magneto sends his brotherhood to destroy the Academy of Tomorrow and kill all of the students within, including Polaris. In the House of M reality, Lorna was a member of Magneto's royal family and had a close relationship with her father. This Polaris was plucked from her reality moments before being killed by Sentinels resistant to her powers.
She is now a member of the latest team of Exiles. In her original reality, many other mutants were dead, and fighting regularly by herself against greater odds has made her more experienced with combat and skilled with her powers than many other versions of her. This is seen very early in her first mission as an Exile, where she easily handles her counterpart due to the latter being a pampered Genoshan princess. She demonstrates her skill and power in fighting sentinels on the Exiles' second mission, defeating 4 sentinels by herself with barely any effort.
However, she is captured by Ultron, Machine Man, and Vision by drugging her with a sedative while she was asleep. At present, she is a captive of the machines of that reality and was witnessed by Blink to be in a seemingly dismembered and dissected state. Blink retaliates against Ultron, Machine Man, and Vision for doing what she sees as the brutal death of her teammate.
In the ensuing battle, she destroys Cerebro's remote unit in the lab. Lorna reveals that she is alive, and what Blink saw was only a Life Model Decoy made to look like her. The others are also shown to be alive and well.
The three robots, particularly Ultron who is shown to harbor the mind of Hank Pym , reveal that they have been spending time preserving the consciousness of humanity in Cerebro's robotic constructs while pretending to be on Cerebro's side.
Of course, things took a turn for the worse once more in X-Factor , by Peter David and Leonard Kirk, when Lorna was shown that she'd accidentally killed her adoptive parents. This revelation briefly sent Polaris into a catatonic state. Lorna's suffering didn't end, even after mutants settled on Krakoa. Lorna was horrified to see Rockslide cut down, a death for which she blamed herself. Even worse, Rockslide couldn't be properly resurrected , since his death on Otherworld complicated the resurrection protocols.
Polaris was also forcefully given the only clue towards the X-Men's Otherworld tournament inside her mind. With great pain, Polaris used Rockslide's remains to construct a casting circle, which would summon Krakoa's champions to Otherworld. Although she accomplished much, Lorna endured great pain just to make this tournament possible for the X-Men. Considering Polaris isn't often in the spotlight, or featured in her own stories, her suffering is abnormally higher than other X-Men. Lorna has often been overshadowed by Magneto, or the Scarlet Witch when she was still believed to be Magneto's daughter.
It's bad enough that Polaris hasn't been given much of a spotlight, but the time in the limelight that she has recieved has often given made Polaris endure a great deal of suffering. With all of the pain, death, and manipulation which Polaris has endured, she is certainly one of Marvel's most unlucky mutants.
While her role on Krakoa's new X-Factor team has given her a new purpose and a renewed sense of agency, only time will tell if her astonishing streak of bad luck continues on. Nabeel Gaber is a longtime follower of comic books, cartoons and anything sci-fi.
However, the Marauders are also there, stalking Polaris from out of sight, and she has to take on Sabretooth, Arclight, and Scalphunter singlehandedly! But in a shocking twist, the evil mutant known as Malice was in control of Polaris the entire time, and was testing her abilities against the Marauders.
When the original version of X-Factor consisting of the original X-Men disbands, the US government steps in to create its own mutant super-team! With recruits including Strong Guy, Wolfsbane and Multiple Man, and Havok and Polaris as the team leaders, the team is set to safeguard the country from any and all mutant threats! While still reeling from the loss of her powers in the wake of House of M, and anxious over recently revealing that fact to her teammates, Polaris encounters a mysterious being called Daap that only she could understand.
The creature transformed and carried Polaris off to the lair of Apocalypse, where the first mutant tempted her with the return of her abilities in exchange for becoming his Horseman of Pestilence. Looking to repent for her actions under Apocalypse, Polaris joins up with the ragtag team. In actuality, Lorna had accidentally killed her parents when her abilities flared up for the first time.
