Pretty Persuasions (Heidi P. Franklin) is a fictional Marvel Comics mutate character who first appeared in New Warriors vol. 1 #4. She was a member of Psionex.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Nothing is known about Pretty Persuasions's past before joining up Psionex. She used to be an exotic dancer until being operated upon by Genetech, a company that created super-beings. Genetech had trouble keeping her in line as she tended to seduce her minders, both male and female. She fought with and against the New Warriors many times, taking a particular interest in Nova. After their last battle, Pretty Persuasions had temporarily had enough of the super-villain/hero lifestyle and returned back to her life as a dancer.
[edit] Civil War
During the Civil War event, Pretty Persuasions was apprehended by Baron Zemo and forced to join the Thunderbolts for so far unclear reasons.
