Polaris
Characteristics: Hero, Universal, Mutant, Operator, and X-Factor
Marvel Strike Force and the wonderful world of X-Force have teamed up to bring you the best of entertainment, excitement, zealous, and magical encounters that will keep you on your toes with none other than Polaris!
Polaris, aka Lorna Dane, has been a hero, a threat, and a reluctant participant in some of the most pivotal moments in mutant history, torn between embracing and attempting to escape her true calling—and her complicated heritage—as the emerald-haired mistress of magnetism.
Polaris can regulate electromagnetic fields of natural or artificial origin under normal conditions. Polaris may share all of her father Magneto’s abilities, but she has only shown the ability to control magnetic, electrical, and gravitational forces so far. Polaris can understand the natural magnetic auras surrounding living beings by concentrating and then witnessing the world around her solely as electromagnetic energy patterns.
As a member of X-Factor, Polaris is a high-health, high-resistance, and high-damage controller. She excels at suffocating enemy teams that depend on Regeneration for survival by using her Ultimate talent to turn Regeneration into Bleed. Polaris also has the ability to use Barrier to defend herself and her alliances from damage, which the Alliance War Offense boosts.
