ZALADANE

Real Name: Zala Dane

First Appearance: Astonishing Tales (Vol. 1) #3, December 1970

Powers: Zala Dane was the high priestess of the Sun God Garokk, the Petrified Man. She was highly knowledgeable in the arcane practices of her religion, able to use potions, incantations and rituals to endow Garokk with a living host body or summon her god from a distance to provide aid to his worshipers.

She was once able to artificially induce mutation in herself via transference technology. This allowed her to harness the magnetic powers of Polaris (her alleged sister), then Magneto himself, enabling her to manipulate surrounding magnetic fields to animate and direct ferrous metals, focus magnetic energy into concussive blasts or defensive force fields, and levitate herself through the air.
