[edit] Fictional character biography
Nightside is a long-time member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. She possesses various abilities stemming from the Darkforce dimension, most notably the power to generate absolute darkness in an unspecified radius, and the ability to displace individuals into the Darkforce dimension, subjecting to a metaphysical sense of cold and fear, much like the power of Cloak. Her powers are apparently a natural attribute of her race. Though she wields her abilities with great skill, her greatest fear is that she will someday be consumed by them.
Nightside was one of the Imperial Guard members stationed on Earth for a time.[1]
Like Oracle, she was injured by Vulcan. Unlike several of her fellow Guardsman, Nightside survived and was seen soon after battling the X-Men and the Starjammers.
[edit] Inspiration
Several of the members of the Imperial Guard are at least partly based on members of the DC Comics team Legion of Super-Heroes. (Dave Cockrum, co-creator of the Guard, also had a long run as artist on the Legion.) Nightside is based on LSH member Shadow Lass.
