History
Logan Lewis was a bright young woman from Chicago who knew sign language and could read by the age of two. As a young adult, she was quite interested in the potential use of Iso-8 in the field of Biomedical Science and started doing a PhD on the subject under the supervision of Dr. Adrienne Brashear.[1] However, when Carol Danvers shut down the program,[2] Lewis was confident they were close to a breakthrough and subjected herself to the Iso-8 compound they were working on.[1]
She was quite scared at first, as she began losing control over her body, but Adrienne Brashear helped her get stabilized and later developed a special suit that would help her manage her new powers. Lewis laid low for a while, but, when a resentful student attacked her graduation ceremony, she stood up against him and used her temperature manipulation power to defeat him in front of everyone present. After this, her cousin Tilda Johnson came to her and told her she would like her to take her former codename, Nightshade.[1]Attributes
