—Phantazia

Eileen Harsaw, known publicly as Phantazia, is a mysterious mutant with control over the electromagnetic spectrum. She used her powerful abilities and brilliant intelligence to assist her teammates in Toad's incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

History

Brotherhood of Evil Mutants

Eileen Harsaw was recruited into Toad's reformation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. She first encountered Cable's team of mutants, X-Force and battled them. She proved immediately useful, using her powers to discover Cable's hidden base, and by causing Cannonball's superhuman powers to malfunction, which, in turn, allowed Sauron to kill him (or so it was believed). Though her team was defeated by X-Force, Phantazia escaped unharmed, abandoning her teammate Masque to be killed by Shatterstar.

Phantazia battles Cable

As a member of the Brotherhood, Phantazia battled numerous superheroes, including X-Factor, Sleepwalker, Darkhawk, and Spider-Man.

Sometime after, while vacationing at sea with her teammates, Phantazia was approached by Exodus, a member of Magneto's Acolytes and his second-in-command at the time. Exodus offered Phantazia a place on Magneto's asteroid base, Avalon, as she had been judged 'worthy'. Phantazia regretfully declined, however, opting to remain on Earth with the Brotherhood.

Phantazia out of costume

Eventually, Phantazia and the Brotherhood encountered the X-Men on the privately owned island of a mutant named Empyrean, who offered sanctuary for all mutants suffering from the Legacy Virus (he was, in fact, feeding off the increased energy levels of the infected mutants). It was there that Phantazia first showed concern for her teammate, Pyro, who was dying from the virus.

House of M

Phantazia disappeared from notice for some time, eventually reappearing during the reality warp called the House of M, as a member of Magneto's Elite Guard, and participated in the battle between the heroes who had realized the truth about the reality warp and those loyal to Magneto. After the Scarlet Witch re-warped reality back to its former state, Phantazia was one of the majority of the world's mutant populace whose powers were removed. She was one of the few who actually remembered, at least in part, the events of warp, and was apparently driven insane by the fractured memories. She was placed in the psychological ward of the government intelligence agency, S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fall of X

After the X-Men relocated to the mutant island of Krakoa, every mutant was invited to join them. With her powers restored, Phantazia chose to join Madelyne Pryor and several other mutants who were no longer interested in Krakoa in the Limbo Embassy. When asked about her interest in the Limbo Embassy by Havok, Phantazia replied, "My motivations are my own."

Powers

• Electromagnetic Harmonization: Phantazia is a mutant who possesses the ability to sense, manipulate, and disrupt various fields and wavelengths of electromagnetic energy (she has referred to her power as 'harmonizing'). Though the upper limits of her powers haven't been clearly defined, it is assumed that Phantazia can use her power to disrupt anything of an electromagnetic nature. The full extent of Phantazia's mutant powers have yet to be revealed.
  • Bio-Electrical Disruption: She is able to disrupt the bio-electric energy fields of other living beings, resulting in pain, paralysis, loss of physical coordination, and in the case of super humans; the inability to control their powers, causing them to fluctuate in strength, cease functioning altogether, or spew out uncontrollably.
    • Interference/Limited Technokinesis: By disrupting the electrical fields of machinery, Phantazia can short them out completely, or even control them to some degree, opening computer-locked doors, jamming weapon, and targeting systems, etc.
  • Levitation: She is able to generate some form of anti-gravity field, allowing her to levitate.
  • Invisibility: She is able to generate a masking effect as well, rendering herself and others near her undetectable to human senses and electronic surveillance.
  • Energy Senses: Her power also grants her the ability to sense various forms of energy in her environment, including electronics and atmospheric distortion that precedes a teleportation effect.
  • Teleportation: Phantasia possesses at least a limited ability to teleport.
