Lady Lotus is a fictional character from Marvel Comics. She first appeared in Invaders #37 (February 1979).
Lady Lotus was a Japanese agent during World War II who possessed strong psychic powers, including telepathy, clairvoyance, illusion, precognition, and a form of hypnotic mind control. She posed as a shopkeeper in Chinatown, New York, where she used her powers to gather up several anti-American agents (including U-Man) to form a group called the Super-Axis. She also mind-controlled the Human Torch into briefly joining forces with them, but he soon regained his senses and turned against her, disrupting her concentration and thus freeing her mind-slaves.
It was implied that the villain U-Man raped her to get revenge for his enslavement, and that their daughter is Nia Noble, but these things have not been confirmed.
Lady Lotus makes her return once again to antagonize the new Captain America, who as part of the Young Allies (as Bucky) was brainwashed for a time by the villainess during World War II. Lady Lotus it seems is now after some form of cosmic power and it's up to Cap and the surviving members of the Young Allies to stop her.
Lady Lotus was a telepath, clairvoyant, illusionist, and precog. She possessed the ability to hypnotize others from miles away, forcing them to obey her will.
