Who is Lorelei?

Lorelei is a Savage Land mutate gifted with a hypnotic singing voice that bends men to her will, created by the villainous Magneto as part of his mutate experiments in the hidden prehistoric wilderness of Antarctica.

A Silver Age creation born from the legendary partnership of Roy Thomas and Neal Adams, Lorelei made her Marvel debut in The X-Men #63 back in 1969 β€” a memorable entrance into a corner of the Marvel universe populated by luminaries like Magneto and Ka-Zar. Her path through comics has wound across decades and titles, from Captain America to The Defenders to X-Men: The Hidden Years, and she counts A.I.M. among her affiliations β€” which tells you something about the dangerous circles she moves in. With 55 years of publication history behind her, she's a rewarding discovery for collectors who love unearthing the rich, sometimes overlooked figures that give the Silver Age its enduring depth.
