History: Born in late mid-November 1694 in Salem to the mortal Gregor and the immortal Lilith, Hunter was struck by a deadly illness before her first birthday. In a desperate bid to save her daughter's life, Lilith bargained with Chthon using the Darkhold, curing Hunter but turning Lilith into a demonic servant. Lilith's sister, Sara, interrupted the ritual, banished Lilith from the Abbey, and took Hunter in as her own child, joining forces with Agatha Harkness to raise and train her as a weapon against her mother. Protected from the darkness by an ancestral orichalcum collar, Hunter grew up alongside her loyal hellhound companion, Charlie, eventually taking her place among the Midnight Suns. In early November 1712, Hunter confronted Lilith as she wielded the Darkhold; touching the dark tome triggered a surge of mystical feedback that instantly killed both Hunter and her mother, leading to Hunter's burial on the Abbey grounds.
In 2022, after Hydra resurrected Lilith with enhanced modern technology and magic, Doctor Strange and Caretaker revived her child, Hunter, whose resurrection was completed by Nico Minoru using the Staff of One. Rejoining the newly assembled Midnight Suns, Hunter discovered centuries had passed and her memories remained fragmented. As the Suns fought to dismantle Lilith's operations, Hunter braved multiple deadly clashes, pursuing the corrupted Fallen Scarlet Witch, surviving an ambush by Sabretooth alongside Wolverine, and facing the fallout of Bruce Banner’s turn to Lilith after he destroyed Avengers Tower. Throughout her journey, Hunter suffered unstable mystical reactions between her collar and the Venom symbiote, which Lilith attempted to exploit by reaching into her dreams to coax her into joining forces. Armed with a newly crafted suit from Tony Stark and Doctor Strange designed to isolate Venom's corrupting energy, Hunter led the charge back to the Sanctum Sanctorum alongside her allies. There, she confronted Lilith and the enthralling power of Chthon just as Banner activated a gamma-infused device, destroying the Sanctum and unleashing a towering beam of dark energy into the sky.
After Deadpool is caught breaking into the Metropolitan Museum of Art to steal an artifact for Doctor Doom, he and the Midnight Suns uncover a plot by Sin and Dracula to create a daylight-walking Vampyre army using Morbius' stolen serum and a mutant named Dahlia as a blood filter. Joining forces with Deadpool, Venom (who makes a deal with Mephisto to cure his blood corruption), Morbius, and Storm, Hunter leads the team through a series of battles to destroy the Vampyre holy grail, recover the modified serum, and rescue Dahlia from Dracula’s lab. With the Vampyre threat mounting, the heroes launch a final assault on Dracula’s castle, where Storm dispatches Sin and Blade stakes Dracula directly through the heart, causing his castle to collapse and fulfilling the bargain struck with Mephisto.
During the crisis at the Quentin Carnival, Johnny Blaze, guardian of the Darkhold's final page, the Parchment of Power, was ambushed by Sabretooth and Crossbones, but Hunter and Wolverine arrived to assist; though Sabretooth escaped and Blaze stubbornly abandoned the cause, Wolverine returned with Hunter to the Abbey. As internal friction plagued the team, Caretaker convened a meeting where Captain America nominated Hunter to assume full leadership of the Midnight Suns. Soon after, Bruce Banner lured Iron Man and Hunter into a trap to steal his late father's gamma research, prompting Tony to destroy the equipment and later construct a Gamma Accelerator, believing supercharged gamma energy could destroy the Parchment of Power and thwart Chthon's prophecy. Meanwhile, Doctor Strange disguised Hunter as a demon using a captured Hydra Barghest, enabling her and Charlie to bypass a dark energy barrier at Banner's lab, where Hunter absorbed the corruption consuming Scarlet Witch and cured her using an ancient Egyptian incantation transcribed by Nico and Magik. As Hunter grappled with the dark entity fracturing her protective collar in her dreams, Blaze resurfaced and tricked Hunter and Ghost Rider into Limbo to bargain with Mephisto, though Magik intervened from her former throne to send her allies safely home. Finally, the team assembled at the Los Diablos Missile Base to power Tony's Gamma Cannon, but after Magik killed Sabretooth in combat, Blaze attempted to destroy the Parchment by riding into the cannon's blast beam; instead, Banner leapt into the energy wave and transformed into a corrupted Fallen Hulk, easily overpowering the heroes before leaping away to deliver the Parchment of Power directly to Lilith.
Following the failure of Avengers leadership, Nico addressed the Midnight Suns and declared it was their time to take charge, leading the team to venture independently to Lilith's Tomb where they witnessed Fallen Hulk claim the Darkhold before the structure collapsed. Back at the Abbey, after Hunter awoke from another dream of her mother, Wanda detected and eventually enabled everyone to perceive the spirit of Agatha Harkness, who was freed from Mephisto's possession during a risky binding ritual. Meanwhile, Captain America accepted Crossbones’ trade to save Transian civilians, leading to Crossbones’ death and the discovery of an encrypted drive that led Hunter and Wolverine to recover the "Godkiller" dagger from a Hydra vault, surviving an encounter with Fallen Hulk thanks to Magik's portal. Armed with this artifact, Hunter accompanied a newly empowered Scarlet Witch to the Temple of Chthon, where they successfully defeated Lilith's forces and used the Book of Thoth to restore Hulk back into Bruce Banner. With Chthon’s arrival imminent, the team donned matching uniforms and launched a final assault on Chthon's Realm, where Lilith revealed her true intention was to destroy the elder god rather than serve him. When Chthon briefly possessed Hunter after her collar was shattered, Lilith freed her allies and eventually sacrificed herself by plunging the Godkiller through the Darkhold, declaring "Only Chthon can kill Chthon", which saved the world and transported the heroes back while leaving Hunter and her mother to face the realm's collapse together in the hope that their bond would once again transcend death.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
While trapped in the Darkhold with her severely injured mother, Hunter had to use her powers to heal and protect her mother. Once her mother was fully healed, they went hunting for the Godkiller, they didn’t know if it came into the Darkhold as well but they were going to look for it because that was their only real defense against Chthon. It wasn’t long after they began their search they realized that there no time, no hunger, or decay inside the Darkhold, they could spend eons in here surviving without ever eating or growing old. They grew weary of the fighting and the running. When they finally get a chance to strike Chthold dead a portal opens, Lilith and Hunter made a last ditch effort to run out the clock so to speak. Hunter ran interference while Lilith took the Godkiller and ran straight for Chthon. They both knew but would never acknowledge that Lilith would die when Chthon died. Just moments before Chthon could exit the portal she plunged the Godkiller into Chthon’s heart. Hunter made her way to the portal before the Darkhold dimension she been trapped in collapsed.
Hunter and Doom exchanged pleasantries, with Dr. Doom trying to keep things from getting out of hand while he regroups since his plans were thwarted. Before their jockeying could lead to anything the Midnight Suns arrive. Dr. Doom backs away and lets Hunter leave. Before she leaves she takes the Darkhold. When Dr. Doom started to say something she all but threatened him with words to stop her. Dr. Doom let them leave with the Darkhold. Hunter with the help of all the magic users she knew destroyed the Darkhold for good. The Midnight Suns knew Dr. Doom wouldn’t just accept what happened they began preparing for him.
When the war started the Avengers joined the Midnight Suns to fight Dr. Doom. It was a long and bloody war. During the Doom War she watched as Robbie Reyes die, the flames just snuffed out. She became overwhelmed by rage, anger, and pain, she attacked Doom. She never once tried to use her light magic, not that she could have in that state. She had Doom pinned to the floor just as she raised her sword to end this monster’s life once and for all her hand was shot off by a Doombot.
She was to far behind enemy lines to be rescued the others take Robbie’s body and escape to fight another day. She was Doom’s captive for months. She endured humiliation after humiliation. Her rage never ebbed once, it kept growing. Then one day Sparky, Robbie’s Spirit of Vengeance comes to her and offers her a chance against Doom, both of them wanted no demanded that Doom pay for what he did to Robbie. She takes it without thinking. She taps into powers that even Robbie wouldn’t dare use. She tore through Castle von Doom not giving a damn about anything but vengeance. When they finally track down Doom they beat him mercilessly. They burn both of his hands off. They then impale him against a wall. They rip off his mask. They stare into his eyes and unleash the Penance Stare, they knew he felt nothing over the lives he ruined except for one day. They made him relive the guilt of his sins from the day he killed his own family and fiancee thousands of times, once for every victim of Doom. There was nothing left of Doom beyond his a pile of ash and molten metal. The Hellfire that they unleashed upon Castle von Doom caused the castle to collapse. They get out before it collapsed on them. Just as she was about to try and figure out how to contact the Abbey a portal opened for her. Before she could step through Sparky bid his farewell and left her. She returned to the Abbey, forever changed.
She was emotionally and physically exhausted once she reached the Abbey. She collapsed on her bed and slept for an entire day. When she woke up the next morning she found the gift Tony left for her a prosethetic hand, all robotic and red just like Iron Man’s. She visited Robbie’s memorial not his grave, because he was buried in Los Angeles. She felt like a failure, another hero lost in a war started by one of the Bloods, this time it was her fault.
The Midnight Suns kept operating but she stopped going on missions. She didn’t trust herself. It was afternoon. A year has passed since she left the Darkhold Dimension and her mother’s death. She was visiting the memorial for all those who had fallen leaving flowers at each when she reached her mother’s memorial a blinding bright white light illuminated the sky. For a brief moment she ceased to exist along with everything else then she woke up on Battleworld like nothing had changed, but her life was forever changed.
Once she woke up she searched for Agatha and Caretaker. Once she knew they were safe she tried contact the other Midnight Suns who were on a mission and their allies, but all she got was nothing. She went to the Forge to get her armor and swords, the Forge was a mess stuff strewn about. She stood up the mannequins with her armors but when she got to the Faithbreaker it attached to her like it was a fully symbiote which was supposed to be impossible, Dr. Strange and Iron Man saw to that. Once she was completely covered Faithbreaker spoke to her. It spoke of magical, antimatter, and multiversal chaos all bleeding together the convergence of those energies interacted with it causing it to evolve. The psychic resonance of billions upon billions of worlds dying awakened it. She reluctantly took Faithbreaker out with her. She left Charlie behind to help defend the Abbey from what she had no idea. Once she exited the Abbey she could clearly see they were no longer in Massachusetts. She began exploring it didn’t take long before she encountered zombies attacking people. She used Faithbreakers ability to generate tendrils to attack them from a distance. Hunter started to tell them to head to the Abbey when Faithbreaker interrupted and grabbed one of them. It said only the word infected then the person started screaming. When Faithbreaker let go of the person it said cured. Hunter sent them to the Abbey. Hunter and Faithbreaker constantly roamed the wasteland outside the Abbey looking for those in need of help. They came to the conclusion that more than five minutes after infection they were beyond help and curing them would mean death. People had started to call them Spark, Faithbreaker loved it and adopted the name. When S.H.I.E.L.D. started building a wall they hired Hunter and Spark to help defend the construction team in exchange S.H.I.E.L.D. upgraded the Abbey’s defenses also leaving weapons for the residents of the Abbey to defend themselves with.
