Black Queen Villain
Real Name: Selene Gallio.
Occupation: Socialite, sorceress.
Identity: Publicly known; however, the general public is unaware of Selene's criminal activities or her status as a mutant.
Legal Status: Citizen of Italy with no known criminal record.
Other Aliases: Black Priestess.
Place of Birth: Unrevealed, but presumably somewhere in Italy.
Marital Status: Widowed (possibly several times over).
Known Relatives: Husband (name unrevealed, deceased).
Group Affiliation: Hellfire Club Inner Circle.
Base of Operations: New York City.
First Post-Reboot Appearance: UNCANNY X-MEN #
History: The full origins of Selene, Black Queen of the Hellfire Club, are currently unknown. Indeed, due to her psychic vampirism powers even her exact age is unknown. She appears to be a woman in her late 20s, but she has hinted that she is several hundred, possibly several thousand, years old.
How long she has been a member of the Hellfire Club is uncertain, but she has only recently ascended to the rank of Black Queen. Since then, she has come into conflict with both the X-Men and agents of SHIELD's Sentinel program.
Age: at least 2000, possibly older.
Height: 5' 10".
Weight: 130 lbs.
Eyes: Red; usually wears brown-tinted contacts.
Hair: Black.
Uniform: None; when performing her duties as the Hellfire Club's Black Queen, Selene usually wears a front-laced black leather bustier, black leather bikini bottoms, upper arm length black leather gloves, knee-high black leather boots with 4-inch heels, and a black ankle-length cape secured by a gold brooch with a large ruby set in the center.
Strength Level: Selene possesses superhuman strength enabling her to lift (press) around 1,500 pounds under optimum conditions.
Known Superhuman Powers: Selene is a mutant with a number of psionic powers. Foremost among these is her ability to psychically drain the life force of a person, perpetuating her youth; due to this, she has been called a 'vampire', although she is not a supernatural creature like a true vampire. If she does not kill a being with her powers, she may choose to turn them into a psychic vampire like herself, albeit under her control. Her psionic powers also include lesser forms of telepathy and telekinesis, although not on the same level as Jean Grey or Emma Frost.
Selene is highly resistant to injury. She has been shown to be resistant to knives and small-caliber pistols, as well as able to walk through flames unharmed (although the latter feat may have been assisted by her sorcery).
Selene is also a sorceress of some skill, being reputedly ranked as one of the top twenty magical practitioners on Earth.
