HistoryEdit

Stevie Hunter was brought into the world of the X-Men when Professor X was looking for a dance instructor to teach Kitty Pryde. Storm immediately had problems with Stevie, seeing her as a threat to her special bond with Kitty.

When Kitty invited Stevie and Ororo to a Dazzler concert, an outburst by the morlock Caliban caused the X-Men to reveal their mutant powers to Stevie. With their secret out, Stevie became more engrossed in the mutant world and joined the Institute as dance teacher and physical therapist.

After Mister Sinister's attack on the Mansion reduced it to rubble, Stevie returned to her private studio. When Shadow King began to possess various X-Allies, he took control of Colossus and forced him to attack her. Although escaping unharmed, she too was possessed by Shadow King and traveled to Muir Island. The combined forces of X-Factor and X-Men freed all of Shadow King's captives, and Stevie returned to the Institute when she was rescued.

When there was an assassination attempt on Xavier's life, Stevie nursed the wounded from the ensuing conflict. Currently, Stevie is back working at her dance studio.
