History: Not much is yet known about Lorna Dane's past, including her true parentage. According to statements made, she was adopted as an infant. It is known that she was born with green hair, and until she enrolled at the Xavier Institute kept it dyed brown at her adopted parents' insistence. Like many mutants, her powers manifested at puberty.
Lorna was one of the small army of Institute students recruited by Scott Summers to help rescue his brother Alex from the Cult of the Living Pharaoh who had abducted him. Not long after this, Alex also enrolled at the Institute, and the two started dating, spurred by their mutual interest in geophysics.
Lorna, now calling herself Polaris, was later seen assisting in the defense of the Institute when it was attacked by the Juggernaut. She has expressed an interest in joining the X-Men following her graduation next year.
A chance encounter with Magneto has both of them wondering if they're related, due to the similarity of their powers. Professor Xavier, headmaster of the Institute, has stated his belief that the two are not related, given his own history with Magneto.
Age: 17.
Height: 5' 7".
Weight: 115 lbs.
Eyes: Green.
Hair: Green (previously dyed brown).
Uniform: As a student of the Xavier Institute, she trains while wearing the black bodysuit with red and black circle-X shoulder pads, yellow boots, and yellow belt with a rectangular red buckle styled with a black X that are standard issue to students. When assisting the X-Men, she has worn a dark green sleeveless leotard with a wide neckline, light green leggings, light green cape, metallic green armbands, dark green boots, and a green tiara. (Presumably she owns a long-sleeved variation for colder climes.)
Strength Level: Polaris possesses the normal human strength of a woman her age, height, and build who engages in regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Polaris is a mutant who possesses the psionic ability to generate and control magnetic fields. Using these fields, she is able to lift up to ten tons of ferrous metal. Although not currently as powerful as Magneto, Polaris has exhibited greater range with her magnetic powers, due to her training at Xavier's. She is able to produce a force field which can protect her and those around her from attack, though powerful or repeated blows generate feedback which can cause her field to weaken. Thanks to her training, she is able to protect against energy attacks as well as against metals. By tapping into the Earth's magnetic field, she is able to fly; she has been observed flying at over 100 miles per hour. By concentrating, she is able to perceive the world around her as lines of magnetic force.
