History
Valeria Richards' history is presumably similar to her Earth-616 counterpart's.
While their parents and the rest of the Fantastic Four went with the Avengers and the X-Men to investigate the corpse of Galactus, Valeria and her brother Franklin were watched over by Spider-Man. She played chess with Spider-Man while discussing the dangers her parents could experience of being in space.[1] She was also a friend of the Synthezoid Viv.[2]
When Earth was invaded by intelligent zombies called the Respawned, New York City became one of their targets. Valeria and Franklin fled with Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson in a Fantasti-Car, but it was knocked out of the air by a zombified Vulture and Human Torch. Mary Jane was nowhere to be found, but Valeria, Franklin, and Spider-Man were able to survive the crash. Then Valeria and Franklin were captured by the zombified Fantastic Four with plans to zombify them. Invisible Woman bit Franklin, but before she could bite Valeria, Spider-Man rescued the children and fled. Franklin was later saved from zombification by having Warlock creating a new body for him and Doctor Strange transferring his consciousness into it. Valeria and Franklin were unconsciousness at the time and didn't about the new body; Spider-Man chose to keep it secret from Franklin to spare further trauma.[3]
Eventually, the Respawned wiped out nearly all of humankind, leaving the world overrun with zombies. Years later, Valeria, Franklin, and Spider-Man fought to survive with the Flerken]] Chewie, the former villain Moonstone, and former X-Man Forge. Spider-Man also reprogrammed a Sentinel later named Nana to watch over Valeria and Franklin. While Franklin liked Nana, Valeria didn't.
After fending of a horde of zombies, Valeria and her group went to the abandoned Xavier Mansion for supplies, leading to a confrontation with a zombified Beast who proceded to kill Forge. Beast was then decapitated by Spider-Man with piano wire, but remained alive in spite of this. After Beast revealed that Valeria and Franklin's parents were alive and were waiting for them, Valeria and Franklin began discussing searching for their parents to cure them. Moonstone decided to leave the group so she wouldn't be dragged into what she believed was a suicide mission.
Valeria determined that because Beast was one of the heroes that went with their parents during their trip to Galactus' corpse, he was exposed to a kind of radiation that she could track and use to find the Respawned's hive mind. When Spider-Man tried to convince the pair to give up on the idea, Franklin and Valeria went off on their own to look for their parents. They were eventually knocked unconscious by a zombified Moonstone. Valeria and Franklin were found by Spider-Man, but he was attacked by Moonstone. Before Moonstone could bite Spider-Man, she was killed by Blade the Vampire Hunter who overheard Valeria and Franklin talking about finding the Respawned's hive mind and asked to join them.[4]
Spider-Man decided to help Valeria and Franklin search for the hive mind since they were determined to do so. While Valeria and her group were riding on Nana over the Phalanx Wall, they were attacked by zombified members of Alpha Flight, and Nana was knocked out the air, forcing it to crash. After being attacked by a horde of zombies, they were rescued by the Ennows, a community of robots and cyborgs that lived within the Phalanx Wall. Valeria and her group were taken into Ennow custody where Valeria reunited with her friend Viv, and they both revealed that they lost ones they cared about. When Valeria learned that the Ennows planned to turn her and her companions into techno-organic beings via the Transmode Virus, she tried to convince Viv not to do this, but Viv refused. This was stopped when a group of zombies successfully broke through the Phalanx Wall, and Valeria and her group were able to escape thanks to Viv fighting off a zombified Hulk, seemingly perishing.[2]
Valeria and her group tracked the hive mind to the underwater city of Atlantis. During the trip, Valeria worked on a mysterious bio-weapon. After arriving at Atlantis, Valeria and the others were attacked by a horde of zombified Atlanteans. They then entered Atlantis through an elevator shaft. After searching Atlantis, they found Wolverine who was believed to have died. While Spider-Man freed Wolverine, Wolverine warned that he and the others had fallen into a trap. Then a zombified Magik appeared and transported everyone to Limbo where the Respawned had moved so they could launch attacks upon the Multiverse.[5]
Invisible Woman attempted to zombify Franklin but discovered he had a techno-organic body that was immune to zombification. Now realizing that their parents were beyond rescue, Valeria and Franklin were motivated in stopping the Respawned. Valeria was tearfully forcing to destroy her zombified mother. After she and the others reached the corpse of Galactus after Nana sacrificed herself, which contained the Respawned's hive mind, Valeria planned to use her new bio-weapon to destroy it. Before she could, she was attacked by a zombified Silver Surfer who was quickly defeated by Franklin using Magik's Soulsword. Valeria then revealed that her bio-weapon harnessed the power of the mutant Gambit. Franklin used the Soulsword to transport himself and the others to safety while Galactus' corpse and the Respawned's hive mind were destroyed, putting an end to the Respawned.
A month later, Valeria and the others stayed at the Xavier Mansion. Valeria and her friend Viv who survived her fight with the Hulk worked to rebuild Nana.[6]Attributes
