I became Lady Lotus. And I waged war. I fought their heroes, time and again. The Invaders, the All-Winners Squad, the so-called Kid Commandos. And when my powers were not enough to reach my goals... I resorted to other skills. And I sought other weapons... Like the ancient gem that expanded and altered my gifts. But time afer time, I was forced to retreat. Until I found myself spent, my power drained. Possibly forever broken. But a lotus can be a hardy flower. It can be planted anew and thrive once again.

Solicit Synopsis
Who is Lady Lotus? Crime lord, super villain, saboteur…but that's just scratching the surface. Learn what makes her tick – her loves, her hates, her fears—and learn the startling secrets behind the Siancong War. Why it's not what it seems, and what's going on behind the scenes. A tour through a century of Marvel history, involving the Invaders, the Avengers, mayhem, monsters and the deepest mystery of all.
Notes
- Lady Lotus' new backstory is revealed in this issue, adapting elements of both her original backstory, as revealed in Invaders #39, and from the Lotus Newmark character, as told in Avengers Spotlight #36.
- The two characters had been revealed to be one and the same in Captain America: Forever Allies #1.
- Lady Lotus faced the Invaders in the pages of Invaders #41, indirectly fought the Kid Commandos in Invaders #38, and was seen fleeing the All-Winners Squad in The Marvels #1.
