History

During the Club's failed attempt to take over London using a demon, she killed the Black King, who had been driven insane by the monster. She was apparently in contact with Onslaught as well, although their connection was never fully revealed. When Brian Braddock approached Steed about the chaos in London, she attacked him, but her blades bounced off his forcefield, which he then threw at her, nearly taking her head off. The Black Queen's current whereabouts are unknown, although she may have been arrested by the authorities.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Psionic Skinning: ability to psychically skin the layers of a person's brain, using psionic projections that look like long blades on chains. This form of telepathy can be very painful for the victims; it can warp their minds or igniting their pain centers. This offensive ability seemed to be her sole telepathic power, but it was very powerful, capable of killing even a strong telepath like the Shadow King.

Telepathic Immunity: immune to the psychic abilities of others.
