[edit] Fictional character biography
Chimera first encountered Wolverine whilst she was gaining information on him and his feral regressive state. She assisted the self-styled heir of Apocalypse, Genesis, with Wolverine's capture when Genesis wanted to brainwash Wolverine to be his first Horseman. They attempted to re-bond the adamantium to Wolverine's skeleton which had been removed by Magneto but the process failed. Wolverine's body violently expelled the metal, killing most of Genesis' followers, the Dark Riders. Dirtnap—one of the only Dark Riders to survive—teamed up with Chimera to get revenge on Wolverine.
The two villains began to scheme and came up with a plan for vengeance. Chimera encountered Wolverine once again when he and Venom (along with some others, most notably Scream) were lured into a trap set by her by Dirtnap. She and Dirtnap were both seemingly killed in an implosion, but they survived and re-appeared in Emplate's dimensional nexus.
Teaming up, the villains attacked the Generation X school in an attempt to kidnap the M twins, but to defend themselves the twins merged back into M and then merged with Emplate, creating the being known as M-Plate. Chimera then captured Synch and fled along with M-Plate. Synch was later rescued by Generation X, and Chimera's current whereabouts are unknown.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Chimera can generate ectoplasmic flares to strike her enemies on various planes of being (i.e. physical, astral, etc.).
[edit] Notes
- There is also another Chimera in the Marvel Universe, a minor supervillainess first seen as a member of Superia's Femizons, who has the ability to grow claws and bat-like wings at will.
