Mistress Illumine is another Earth's version of our hero, Silverfox. While Silverfox retained her sanity when she gained her powers, Mistress Illumine's brain was fractured, making her mildly insane.

Fueled by rage, Mistress Illumine caused the destruction of her world, and in the process was shunted to Primal Earth.

The event captured Arachnos' attention and they realized Mistress Illumine could be a great asset with the proper conditioning. Arachnos inducted Mistress Illumine into the Night Widow ranks where she made an excellent assassin.

Her fractured psyche allows here to hide her ulterior motives from the psychics that circulate through Arachnos...allowing her to bide her time until the moment is right for her to act upon her true plans.
