Elizabeth Twoyoungmen (Earth-616)

Elizabeth was the daughter of Dr Michael Twoyoungmen, known to the world as Shaman. When Elizabeth was four years old her mother became deathly ill and her father promised Elizabeth that he would save her. He was not able to do so and Elizabeth hated him for it. She grew up with a neighbouring family, the MacNeils, not talking to her father for over fifteen years. She called on his aid then because she believed that she had seen a spirit escape from an archaelogical dig where she was working. She turned to him because she knew that he was Shaman, despite the spell he had cast to keep himself from being recognized, which he wrote off to the blood of many shamans over hundreds of years flowing through her veins.

Through the course of their adventure together though, it was revealed that she was in fact, a legendary figure, the Talisman. She soon joined Alpha Flight as the second recruit never to be trained by Department H. She soon left though, after Shaman attempted to save both her and Snowbird but was only able to save Snowbird and the Beyonder had to save her. She then became extremely vengeful to her father and called upon the spirits to trick him. She told them to direct him to a birthing place for Narya's baby which contained an evil spirit, Pestilence. She intended to defeat the spirit to show up her father, but it, instead, defeated her, and ripped her circlet of power from her forehead. Shaman grabbed the circlet and became Talisman II. Elizabeth went back to university to return to her studies.

While at a dig, Elizabeth soon stumbled onto an ancient cairn, with a mystic object inside. Before she could touch it, she passed out. She was contacted through her dreams by Narya, who told her of the Dreamqueen and that she was coming to earth and that only she as Talisman could stop her. The mystic object would allow the Dreamqueen to control her if she touched it. She contacted Alpha Flight and soon became Talisman again. She defeated the Dreamqueen but soon realized her greatest challenge was next.

She had to fight Llan, the Sorcer, a being who wanted to destroy earth. She and Alpha Flight were finally able to beat him with some help from Dr Strange. She soon went through a great trauma, when in an attempt to save the lives of several of the Master's experiments, she became a living filter for all the knowledge in Shaman's pouch. This was too much for her brain, and over loaded her systems and she very nearly went brain-dead. After a great deal of work though, she finally recovered and once again became Talisman.

After her recovery, she began to feel extremely odd, distant and thoughts of death clouded her mind. While wandering through a mall, she was attacked by the second Omega Flight. After they accosted her, she realized that something had happened to her. She contacted her father who helped her discover that the Ska'ar had escaped from thieir prison dimension. Working with Beta Flight, she was able to battle the Master and Omega Flight and return the Ska'ar to their prison. Talisman then became a member of Beta Flight and slowly moved towards active membership in Alpha Flight once again.
