Fictional character biography
Veronica Dultry is endowed with superhuman powers by Maggia scientists in order to serve the crime lord Count Nefaria among the second group of Ani-Men. The Ani-Men take control of the NORAD base at Mount Valhalla, but are defeated by the X-Men, and imprisoned in the mutant research complex at Muir Island. She escapes shortly after when Erik the Red breaks into the complex.
She is later abducted by the alien Stranger to his laboratory world, where she and other abductees are manipulated by the Overmind into battling Quasar. After she returns to Earth, she mutates further due to the Stranger's experiments, but Ant-Man aids her in returning to her normal appearance.
Later, she joins Superia's Femizons and battles Captain America and Paladin. Dragonfly and several other former Femizons battle Captain America again during an A.I.M. weapons demonstration.
Much later, Dragonfly is invited to join the Crimson Cowl's Masters of Evil where she battles the Thunderbolts. They are defeated and sent to prison.
In new battle armor, she is sent to attack Jackie Dio alongside several other criminals. Dio quickly defeats the villains by blowing up the building they were in.
