DRAGONFLY

 


DRAGONFLY

Real Name: Veronica Dultry 
First Appearance: The Uncanny X-Men (Vol. 1) #94, August 1975

Powers: Originally a baseline human with no superhuman powers, Veronica Dultry was hired by Count Luchino Nefaria to be a specimen for genetic engineer Kenneth Sturdy, who mutated her into a semi-humanoid being with insect-like features and hypnotic powers.

As Dragonfly, she has fly-like wings enabling her to fly at speeds up 45 miles per hour. She can release a hypnotizing ray through her forehead's antennae, rendering a single victim within 5 feet susceptible to all her commands. Due to her unstable genetic structure, her body absorbs radiation and uses it to further mutate her into a 12' long insect form with the power to control every insect within 200-foot radius. Excess radiation is slowly released (this is expedited in immersion in water), reversing any radiation-inducing mutations. The Consultant's battle armor rendered her bulletproof.
