History

Loa

Born in Hawaii, Alani Ryan quickly developed a talent for surfing. She was a mutant with the ability to move through solid matter by disabling binding forces. This caused the matter to crumble, or break down around as she passed through it. Loa's body was covered with unusual markings. It was unclear whether this was part of her mutant nature, or man-made tattooing.

She became a student at the Xavier Institute, and adopted the codename, Loa. Along with her fellow students, Anole, Rubber Maid, Kidogo, Network, and Indra, she was assigned to Alpha Squadron, the training squad advised by former Alpha Flight member, Northstar. When Northstar was apparently killed by Wolverine, advising duties for Alpha Squadron were taken over by Karma.

After the Decimation, she was one of the students Emma Frost placed in the fateful all-out brawl that would determine who would become the new X-Men trainees, but lost. Loa did not make the New X-Men team. Before the fight, she was seen threatening to "crumble" Anole's tongue if he touched her with it. Despite this, Loa remained close friends with Anole, as well as Rockslide.

Loa was seen as one of the students listening to Blindfold's tale and was sucked down into Limbo along with many of the other students. After the students landed on a rocky outcrop, they were soon attacked by a huge number of demons. A demon attempted to punch her in the stomach, and his hand went straight through, but was sliced to ribbons on the other side. She then moved to protect Anole as Magik decided she needed to take one of their souls to make a new Soulsword. When Magik went to confront Pixie, Alani jumped to attack her, but Magik blasted her to the ground with her. She participated in the final fight against Belasco, survived, and returned to the school with the rest of the students.

Later, Loa sought out Elixir. She went to his room and flat out asked him if he wanted to make out. Elixir replied with "um,sure."

In Manifest Destiny, Loa was seen at the new X-men headquarters in San Francisco trying to help Colossus recover from the loss of Kitty Pryde.
