Lorna Dane was an early addition to the X-Men, along with her boyfriend Alex Summers AKA Havok, who is already an established mutant in the First Class era of films. Lorna has a number of interesting relationships in the X-Men universe, and has been romantically involved with both Havok, and Bobby Drake AKA Iceman. Of course, the most relevant relationship has to be the fact that she is one of Magneto's children, half-sister to Quicksilver (appearing in DoFP) and Scarlet Witch, and shares her fathers control of magnetism. Polaris has been a part of both the X-Men and X-Factor off and on, but is currently back with the newest iteration of X-Factor. Polaris was involved in Apocalypse's gathering of the Twelve, acting as the opposite magnetic force to her father Magneto, who was also one of the Twelve. After losing her mutant powers (along with most of the mutant population) in the event known as House of M, Lorna was taken by Apocalypse and transformed into an evil Horseman of Apocalypse known as Pestilence, who mechanically replicated her powers as he tried to release a meta-plague that would kill off the majority of humanity. He was defeated by the X-Men and the Avengers, and Lorna was restored to her previous self, although her psyche has been greatly affected by her time as Pestilence. Lorna has had many connections with Apocalypse, and her relationship with Havok would help bring her into the First Class fold easily. The troubled relationship between Magneto and Lorna offers limitless story potential, especially considering Lorna's history with Apocalypse as one of his Horseman. Talk about drama! We would love to see Polaris (and Havok) as central members of the team, adding to the X-Men's cinematic history just as they did in the original comics.
