History
Early Life[]
Amelia Voght is a mutant with the power to transform herself and other solid matter into vapor. Amelia hated her abilities and hid her mutation from the world. She became a nurse, and started working at a hospital in India. Here, she encountered Charles Xavier, a mutant telepath. Xavier had recently lost the use of his legs and was bitter and frustrated. Amelia helped nurse him back to health and made sure he did not give up hope. The two soon fell in love, and she returned with him to America.[1]
Xavier believed that mutants needed to use their gifts for the betterment of all mankind, and established the X-Men to train young mutants to use their powers and to fight for his dream of mutant-human co-existence. This became a growing source of conflict for Amelia and Charles, as she wanted him to live a private, sheltered life with her. She finally made Xavier choose between her and the X-Men, and when Xavier would not abandon his students, she left him.[1]
Amelia would come to resent Charles and his X-Men, believing they only made it more difficult for mutants to live quietly.[1]
Asteroid M[]

When Magneto created the mutant sanctuary of Asteroid M, Amelia joined him on the space station, believing that the X-Men had made it impossible for mutants to live on the Earth. She was reunited with Charles, who had come to see Magneto's vision in person. Xavier approached her, but a bitter Amelia rejected his attempts at reconciling.[1]
Another of Magneto's followers, Fabian Cortez, became dissatisfied with Magneto's leadership, believing that Magneto was too soft on the humans. Cortez seemingly succeeded in assassinating Magneto, and framed the X-Men for his murder. Charles and Beast escaped the asteroid, but Gambit remained behind to buy them time, and was captured. Cortez began torturing Gambit to force him to confess to Magneto's murder. Amelia soon grew dissatisfied with Cortez's leadership, turned off by his torture of Gambit and his reckless actions, which threatened to draw the ire of the world governments against Asteroid M.[2]
She visited Gambit in his cell, who sowed doubts about Cortez's lies. Resolving to learn the truth, she secured surveillance footage of Magneto's quarters, and learned the truth; that Cortez had killed him. She played the tape for the entire asteroid, exposing Cortez. Desperate to destroy humanity, Cortez attempted to launch Asteroid M's nuclear arsenal on Earth. Amelia helped free Gambit, and helped the X-Men stop Cortez. Magneto was revealed to have survived Cortez's assassination attempt, and returned just in time to disarm the missiles Cortez had launched, and to exact his revenge on him, as Asteroid M was destroyed.[2]
Amelia returned to Earth with the X-Men, questioning what would become of Magneto now that his dream had been destroyed. Xavier responded that he, like her, could find a place with his X-Men, and fight for the greater good of both humans and mutants. Amelia thanked him for his offer, but told him that she needed to discover her own dream. The two parted on good terms.[2]
Phalanx[]
Amelia continued her career in medicine, and worked to become a doctor. She travelled to Muir Island, where she became a first-year resident at Moira MacTaggert's facility. When the alien Phalanx invaded the Earth, Beast, Forge, and Mr. Sinister made their way to Muir Island, hoping to use Moira's labs to create a weapon that could destroy the Phalanx. Amelia helped them in their work, and when the Phalanx attacked Muir Island, she escaped with them, directing them to Magneto's hideout in the Arctic Circle. [3]
While Magneto was at first resigned to his fate and refused to help them, they managed to convince him after telling him that the Phalanx had captured his son. Together, they were able to defeat the Phalanx after launching an assault on their headquarters and infecting them with the virus.[3]
Genosha[]
After the attack on the newly recognized mutant nation of Genosha, Amelia aided in recovery efforts, helping treat the survivors.[4]See Also
