HistoryEdit

A young woman with a wide array of superhuman abilities (all her displays of power can safely be attributed to having an affinity for machines - which would not-so-obviously include the biological kind), Serafina is a valuable member of the Children of the Vault. She joined Sangre in the search for Sabretooth, but soon mind-controlled Northstar and Aurora into attacking the X-Men. When things weren't going her way, she sent her partner Perro back to the others and entered the mansion herself, where she confronted Cannonball.

Using Lady Mastermind's illusion abilities, Serafina created a world in which she was married to Cannonball, and took the name "Sarah." Cannonball eventually caught on to the unrealism of the world, and Serafina was confronted by Wolverine. She easily disposed of him by turning his adamantium skeleton against him, poisoning him. She then defeated Cannonball and left to return with her teammates.

The Children were upset that the X-Men had been made aware of their presence, but decide to launch an all-out attack on the superheroes. The X-Men took the fight to them, but they were soon subdued, but fought back, foiling the Children's plans to destroy the Xavier Institute. In the battle, Serafina was able to easily manipulate and defeat Karima Shapandar and Sabretooth, who had nano-sentinels in his blood, through her technopathic powers. However, Cannonball tried to reach through to her based on the illusion the two shared, but when she confirmed for him that she had absolutely no true feelings for him, he grabbed her, and blasted around the ship, driving her into its hull at full force, and left her seemingly lifeless body behind.

Powers and AbilitiesEdit

Powers

Mind-control: Was abilty to take over Lady Mastermind's mind and use her powers at will. She did the same thing to Aurora and Northstar.
Psychometry
Cyberpathy: she is able to disrupt the processes of advanced machinery, even nano-machines.
Cloaking: She infiltrated the X-Mansion undetected, both invisible to the naked eye and to telepaths. Whether she actually became invisible or used telepathy to erase her presence for the minds of others is unknown.

NotesEdit

Serafina is Spanish for "Seraphim," a type of angel.
Serafina's abilities seem to be closely related to Phantazia's.^{[citation needed]}
In an interview with writer Mike Carey, when it was asked if she had died or not, he replied: I’d say that Serafina was partially protected by Sam’s (Cannonball) blast field, so she was probably only knocked out rather than killed.^[1] The Children of the Vault appeared again, and sure enough, she was among their ranks.
