magnetosphere | 🧭 Lorna's timeline → MCU AU

last updated: Dec. 2021

EARLY
↳ Born in December 1988; roughly six months before Wanda and Pietro. Like other canon iterations of Lorna, this AU version is a child born out of an affair from Wanda and Pietro's father (Oleg Maximoff) and another woman, named Susan Dane.
↳ Lorna's mother (Susan) is American, and Lorna was born/raised in America. Specifically, Oregon.
↳ Oleg Maximoff is a pseudonym for Erik Lehnsherr. Lorna knows this; her half siblings don't.
↳ Lorna also knew about her half-siblings in Sokovia from an early age.
↳ She found out her father had been killed in in the late 1990s in an American-led attack in Sokovia, but didn't know the fate of her siblings until some years later.
↳ When she was 16 (2004), her magnetic powers manifested.
↳ In 2006, she started college in California, studying geosciences. She graduated a year early, in 2009.
↳ During most of her college years, she was in a relationship with a mutant named Esme Frost from 2006 to 2008.
↳ She got a job at the Environmental Protection Agency after graduation.
↳ She met another mutant in DC named Alex Summers; the relationship was on and off and lasted abut a year and a half, as they always broke up right before getting too serious.

LATER
↳ She'd been on a work trip when Loki and his alien army wrecked New York.
↳ When Hydra exposed itself as having overtaken SHIELD (2014), she caught wind of the human experiments they were running in Sokovia, ghosted the EPA, covertly went to Europe to try to see if there were any more mutants who were existing there, or were being forced into those things.
↳ She was a jobless mutant rebel for a hot second, then arrested by Krasnodar forces when she was in there to poke around Hydra's reach into Russia. She was in a very secluded, unknown, prison when Ultron and his metal minions tried to blow up the world; Hydra had the tech to keep her powers locked with a collar.
↳ She managed to break out shortly before the Sokovia Accords were introduced. That's when she found out through some catching up that Ultron had killed her brother, and her sister was an Avenger in New York.
↳ She hated the Accords then, and she still hates them now; she was hunting Ross while he was hunting Natasha Romanoff after she broke the Accords. She broke some enhanced people out of the Raft before she added 'domestic terrorist' to her resume when, during that hunt, in response to the Accords, she brought down a plane carrying U.S. State Department officials. That's when she went underground again, and went on a path much like her one in Europe.
↳ She wasn't killed in the 2018 snap, but she found her sister was one of the ones.
↳ Lorna spent those five years in space, having gotten hold of a ship to travel it in. She travels to other planets and places, helping to take care of threats she can, et cetera, and probably runs into Carol Danvers a time or two as she's doing much the same as Carol has been for decades.

LATEST
↳ By 2023, at 35, post-Snap reversal for everyone else, she's back from space and still hasn't met her sister. She has found a small group of about six other mutants, inhumans, and other not-baseline-human species to lead in her own little team (called Krakoans) based on the island of Genosha.
↳ She still hates Thaddeus Ross and wants to either get him out of power and ruin his name so much he can never even get within 100 miles of DC or any other government seat of power at any level, or kill him. Whichever comes first.
