History: Veronica Dultry was an exotic dancer who supplemented her legitimate income by engaging in petty thefts, prostitution, and drug dealing. After being convicted once too often for her illegal activities and facing a lengthy prison sentence, Dultry was approached by one of the lawyers on the payroll of Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime, with an option to shorten her jail time in exchange for undergoing several scientific experiments. Dultry, against her own lawyer's objections, agreed to the procedure. The Kingpin's scientists were studying possible ways to give people superhuman abilities, and injected a number of test subjects with genetic retroviruses developed from animal DNA. Dultry's injections contained DNA culled from a number of insects, specifically dragonflies, wasps, and hornets.
Calling herself Dragonfly, Dultry joined with four other test subjects in escaping the lab, discovering themselves in the sewers underneath Hell's Kitchen. Dragonfly and her companions – Ape-Man, Bird-Man, Cat-Man, and Frog-Man – named their group the Ani-Men and decided to try and take over one of the gangs in the Kitchen. They were foiled by the costumed vigilante Daredevil in this endeavor and were sent to prison.
Some months later, the Ani-Men had either escaped or were freed from prison, and were hired by the criminal businessman Leland Owlsey, alias the Owl. Under the Owl's direction, Dragonfly and the other Ani-Men engaged in attacks on the Kingpin's businesses (the Ani-Men are unaware that the scientists who originally mutated them were in the Kingpin's employ), but were again foiled by Daredevil as well as the Kingpin's newest enforcer, Elektra. The Ani-Men managed to avoid capture by the authorities.
Dragonfly has since tussled with the adventurers Ant-Man and Wasp when she attempted to visit her daughter, Angelina, in the state-run facility where the girl was living. While Dragonfly was forced to flee the scene, Angelina managed to get hold of a number of Pym particle capsules accidentally dropped by Ant-Man. The girl later used those same capsules to sneak out and meet up with her mother; the two were last seen flying to meet up with the rest of the Ani-Men. Whether Dragonfly or Angelina still retains any of Ant-Man's Pym particle capsules is unknown.

Known Superhuman Powers: Dragonfly's powers are all derived from her genetic modifications. Most notably, she possesses four insect-like wings coming from her back which enable her to fly. Her eyes are multifaceted, giving her a superior peripheral vision; her eyesight has also been adjusted to see into the ultraviolet spectrum.
Dragonfly also possesses two antennae coming from her forehead. These antennae permit her to communicate with insects such as house flies, wasps, and hornets, and also give her a kind of vibration sense.
Other Abilities: As a former dancer, Dragonfly is very flexible, which she uses to her advantage in flight.
