Candace Southern (Earth-616)

Candy was a childhood friend of Warren Worthington III. She was reunited with Warren and first met the X-Men at Bobby Drake's 18th birthday party. Candy and Warren then began dating. During this time, Candy learned of Warren's superhero identity as the Angel. While helping Cyclops and Jean Grey locate Warren, Candy pretended to be Marvel Girl to confuse Blob and Mastermind.

After Warren's second superhero team, the Champions of Los Angeles disbanded, Candy and Warren began living together.

Warren later joined the Defenders, and Candy began working for the team in a supporting role. She was subsequently named the leader of the Defenders in non-combat contexts. After Warren joined X-Factor, his relationship with Candy became strained. Candy broke up with Warren and left her job with Worthington Industries because she mistakenly believed Warren was having an affair with his teammate Jean Grey.

Candy was later kidnapped and killed by Cameron Hodge, a former friend of Warren and Candy who had betrayed X-Factor as part of an anti-mutant plot. Later, the Phalanx produced a cybernetic duplicate of Candy Southern. The duplicate died during a fight between Cameron Hodge, who had joined the Phalanx, and Archangel and Jean Grey.
