Lorelei is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe whose first appearance was in X-Men vol. 1 #63.

[edit] History

Lorelei is a Savage Land native until Magneto turns her into a mutated siren, whose voice can put men into a hypnotic trance (X-Men #63) and she is placed in his Savage Land Mutates group. At the end of the comic, the machine that Magneto had used to empower his Savage Land creations is destroyed. As a result, Lorelei loses her siren powers.

Some time later, she was seen in Defenders #15–16 with her powers somehow restored. She made a further appearance with the Brotherhood of Mutants in Champions #17.

Years later, Lorelei was in Captain America (1st Series) #415–417. She appeared on a trading card in the Marvel vs. DC card game, and appeared briefly in the first New Avengers story arc.
