History

Lillian was recruited into Gamma Flight. She had a brief affair with Madison Jeffries after meeting him there, but the two would develop stronger feelings later.

Courtney Delphine recruited Lillian for Omega Flight using a mind control device. Madison returned to destroy Delphine while Shaman kept Lil distracted with illusions.

Lillian was pardoned for her actions as part of Omega Flight. She was angry at Jeffries' closeness to Heather Hudson, while Heather was angry at her for being part of the group that was reponsible for her husband James' death. Guardian has subsequently returned; Heather and Lil seem to have set aside their differences.

Lillian began secretly seeing Jeffries while he was engaged to Heather Hudson. The two reaffirmed their feelings while both were fighting Diablo.

Lillian had a breast cancer scare after feeling a lump while examining herself. This was especially difficult to deal with because her powers made normal removal impossible. While Alpha Flight battled aliens, she was harmed by a laser from one of them. She chased the being down, stole its laser, and asked Jeffries to modify it into a scalpel. She successfully had surgery; the lump was a benign cyst and she made a full recovery.

Madison and Lil married and agreed to retire from active duty. However, Madison continued to use his Box robot. She worried he had become addicted to adventuring. When Alpha Flight reformed, Lillian was angry that Madison joined the new team.

Lil was captured by Dr. Huxley of Department K and experimented on. Thetagen-24 was injected into her system. While the previous subjects died, Lillian's powers kept it contained around her skin. Alpha Flight managed to rescue her. However, she did not rejoin the team.

Lillian was captured by Weapon X and sent to Neverland. She and Random resisted when the guards began seperating prisoners into who was suitable for being made an agent and who was not. They were severely beaten by the Boxbot guards, their powers negated by a dampening field.

According to ONE's files Lillian survived and retained her mutant powers during M-Day and is one of the mutants who sought refuge at the Xavier Institute during the chaos.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Superhuman Durability: Diamond Lil’s body generates a bio-aura of nigh-impenetrable energy that permeates her molecular structure to grant her skin durability akin to that of diamond. Though able to deflect most forms of physical or energy-based impacts, Lil still feels the force of such blows. Similarly, Lil’s bio-aura also affords her protection against temperature extremes. Her nails and hair are similarly permeated, even after being removed from her body.

Abilities

Lillian is an excellent hand to hand combatant. Her natural hardness also enables her to use nearly any part of her body as a weapon. Even a string of her hair can be used like a whip or a garrote.

Strength level

Lillian possesses the normal physical strength of a woman of her height, weight, and build that engages in intensive regular exercise. Although she does not have superhuman strength none of the impact energy of her punches or kicks is absorbed into her body; instead it is all directed into her target, effectivly doubling the force of her blows.

Weaknesses

Lil’s bio-aura limits her sense of touch.
