Created by writer Doug Moench and artist Don Perlin, the character first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #28 (June 1976). She is the daughter of archaeologist Dr. Peter Alraune. During an expedition to uncover the lost tomb of Khonshu, her father was killed by mercenaries attempting to loot the site. During the expedition, she met Marc Spector after he was mortally wounded and left for dead near a statue of Khonshu.
