Who is Miss Locke?

Miss Locke is a cunning, gun-toting operative who serves as the loyal personal assistant to the assassin-for-hire Arcade. Combining lethal marksmanship with extraordinary powers of seduction, she acts as his indispensable aide in his deadly schemes.

Debuting in the Bronze Age classic Marvel Team-Up #65 in 1978 under the legendary creative hands of Chris Claremont and John Byrne, Miss Locke is one of Marvel's more intriguingly persistent figures — a character who has kept remarkably dangerous company across a publishing history stretching all the way to 2023. Her world revolves around the pages of The Uncanny X-Men, where she shares adventures with heavy hitters like Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and the notorious Arcade, placing her squarely at the heart of some of the X-Men's most memorable Bronze Age encounters. With two key-issue appearances to her name and nearly five decades of comics history, she's the kind of character that rewards the deep-diving collector — a fixture of the X-Men corner of the Marvel universe whose staying power speaks for itself.

Identity

Powers. Miss Locke is skilled in using guns. She is also highly seductive and was even able to persuade the dragon Lockheed to let her escape from him by using her charm.
