LORELEI I

 

LORELEI I

Real Name: Lani Ubana

First Appearance: The Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1) #63, December 1969

Powers: Using untapped radiations in the Savage Land, the mutant named Magneto built a machine and induced artificial mutations in several of the local indigenous people there into super-powered beings known as the Savage Land Mutates (Amphibius, Barbarus, Brainchild, Equilibrius, Gaza, Lorelei, Lupo, Piper).

Lorelei can emit hypersonic frequencies through her singing voice, which have a hypnotic effect on men. By stimulating the inner ear, Lorelei's voice makes men become mesmerized by her presence and remain completely still in a trance. She can either leave them to remain in that state or compel them to carry out her wishes. Lorelei's influence seems to influence men into willingly devoted slaves who retain their full intelligence and cognitive abilities, but are simply swayed to doing her bidding.
