Character Biography

Jeanne-Marie mentally confronts Aurora. Art by John Byrne.
Aurora (real name Jeanne-Marie Beaubier) has suffered from dissociative identity disorder for some time: Jeanne-Marie represented her normal persona, while Aurora represented Jeanne-Marie's "darker" repressed personality traits. The personalities were later merged into one healthy personality, although her sanity has deteriorated in recent years and they resplit.

She was once manipulated by the Dark Beast into joining a short-lived incarnation of the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Recently, Aurora became a mind controlled agent of Weapon X, and was in an abusive relationship with the Weapon X director, who beat her. Aurora managed to retaliate against her mind-control by creating a third personality that wasnt affected. She beat the director up and managed to escape.

In addition, an alternate Aurora, from relatively early in her Alpha Flight career was recently brought to the present-day with her teammates (apart from Sasquatch). At last report, this group were continuing to act as Alpha Flight in the present day.

Powers

She has the powers of flight and superhuman speed. Originally, while in contact with her brother, the pair could emit bursts of light, but, at one point, she had her powers altered so that she could produce light independently, and touching her brother actually cancelled the ability. It appears that this may have become undone in recent years, returning this ability to its original state.
