Aleytys Forrester first met Scott Summers, when he worked on her fishing trawler.^[1] After the believed death of his long-time love, Jean Grey, Scott quit the X-Men and signed-on as part of Lee's crew. Lee helped Scott work through his grief and the two began a crush. After an adventure in which Lee's father, Jock Forrester was possessed by D'Spayre and committed suicide, Scott and the Man-Thing fought D'Spayre.

Lee and Scott found themselves shipwrecked in the Bermuda Triangle, where they stumbled upon Magneto's new base of operations. Scott lost his visor and was powerless, when they soon met Magneto, but he aided the X-Men in defeating Magneto. Lee soon fell in love with Scott, but after meeting Madelyne Pryor, he left her.^[2]

The arrival of Warlock, crashing through his space station, sent Magneto plummeting to Earth. Magneto arrived in the ocean, where he was saved from a shark attack by Lee. Lee took Magneto to his old base in the Bermuda Triangle and nursed him back to health, despite his distaste for humans. Lee warmed Magneto's heart after saving his life and the two became lovers. On the following day, Lee was reminded of the monster that Magneto once was and left him.

Years later, Lee met Cable, who she seemed to like too,^[3] but when she learned he was the son of Scott, quickly ended the romance.

Scorpius

Lee later captained an expedition to an alternate dimension, led by George Stanislaus, that was eventually stranded, when their ship ran aground. After the Future Foundation found a distress call from Lee and James Scully, they learned that Lee and James had been trapped on the dimension, where time moved faster than in the mainstream reality, and enlisted the X-Men to rescue them. After arriving, the heroes learned that Lee had been there for some time and allied with a local tribe. The peace was shattered, after the arrival of the Scorpius, a group that began to attack and subjugate the locals and Lee set-out to find help. Another tribe, the Kaddak, were possible allies and Lee attempted to negotiate a treaty with them to defeat the Scorpius. Lee was reunited with Scott, a fact his new girlfriend, Emma Frost was not happy with and, with the help of the Future Foundation and the X-Men, Lee and Skull successfully defeated the Scorpius. After a power source was found to return them to the mainstream reality, Lee and Skull decided to stay and safe guard the power source.
