Polaris (Dr. Lorna Sally Dane) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Arnold Drake and artist Jim Steranko, the character first appeared in The X-Men #49 (October 1968).[1] Dane has also been a member of the X-Men and the X-Factor, in which she is frequently paired with her on-again off-again romantic interest Havok (Alex Summers).[2]
Like the other X-Men, Lorna Dane belongs to the subspecies of humans called mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities.[3] She can control magnetism in a manner similar to her father, Magneto, who served as the X-Men's main antagonist in early stories. Although it was speculated for decades, the fact that Magneto was her father was not revealed until a 2003 storyline, some 35 years after the character's debut.[4][5] Many of Lorna's stories involve her mental instability and mental health issues, particularly her bipolar disorder, which is exacerbated by the repeated brainwashing episodes and other traumatic events. Lorna's mental health has also been a factor in storylines where she becomes evil or loses control of her abilities. The character has been known as Polaris, Malice, and Pestilence at various points in her history.[6]
The character has been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including video games, animated television series, and merchandise. Lorna Dane made her live-action debut in The Gifted (2018), portrayed by Emma Dumont.
