History

Persephone is the mysterious mutant leader of Soteira.[1] Through Soteira, she began amassing powers and influence from behind the scenes.[2] She also had Soteira steal the body of Wolverine and somehow resurrected him to commit atrocities for unknown reasons.[3]

When the search for Wolverine organized by the X-Men led the search groups to learn and interfere with Soteira's operations,[4] Persephone decided to send the X-Men a message. After distracting them with projectiles from space, she displayed the dead bodies of ten latent mutants she found in Mister Sinister's DNA database and warned the X-Men that there would even more deaths unless that they left her operations alone.[2]
