[edit] History

Lorelei Travis is the name of a young girl who has "living" hair. She is one of the few mutants to retain her powers after the effects of M-Day, although a group of militant Purity members cuts all of her hair out of vengeance. Unlikely help comes in the form of Toad who, after saving her, escorts her to the X-Mansion to join the other members of the 198. Her hair is restored by the healing powers of Mr. M who she starts a relationship with not long after.
