[edit] History

[edit] The Mutant Daughter

The Leper Queen was five months pregnant with her daughter Lucia Page when a mutant passed by and her daughter started to move. When she was a few months old, Lucia could already create sparks. At two years old of age, she set fire to their house which resulted in her dying and the face of her mother being burned. It was then that the Leper Queen decided to kill all mutants.

[edit] Decimation

The day after M-Day, the Leper Queen attacked the Xavier Institute with the Sapien League. She was first seen attacking Mammomax, Erg and Peepers who were racing to Xavier's mansion for sanctuary. The Sapien League attempted to burn them to death by tying them to St. Andrew crosses. They were stopped by Wolverine and Colossus who had seen the smoke from their attacks. After this failure, she led an attack on the mansion itself. It was only by the combined efforts of the X-Men and the O*N*E* that the Sapien League were stopped. During the fight, Iceman was captured. When the Leper Queen tried to execute him, his sudden regaining of his powers causes her arm to freeze. This caused her to flee, attacking both Outlaw and Peepers in her escape.

After tracking Polaris and Havok (who have left the institute in search of Lorna's powers) to Puerto Rico, members of the Sapien League were attacked by Havok who stopped their assault on an old man. They then called the Leper Queen, who was visiting the grave of her daughter. She arrived to kill Havok and Polaris, but was stopped by Havok who had just killed Daap, an alien who had crash landed which bore a striking resemblance to former X-Statix member Doop.

[edit] Post- Messiah Complex

Previews to X-Force #3 reveal that the Leper Queen, alongside other prominent anti-mutant leaders, have been forcibly recruited into the ranks of the Purifiers. She's saved before being executed in the electric chair for the murder of two girls in Guatemala and infected with the Transmode Virus by Bastion.

[edit] Personality

During the Sapien League's attack on the mansion, it is said that she completely hates mutants and has been on many mutant hunts. Her mission in life is to kill all mutants in reparation for her daughter's death. It is also stated that she hides her burnt face with a mask and that if anyone sees it she will kill them.
