Her first appearance was in ''Wolverine'' vol. 2 #97. ==Fictional character biography== Chimera first encountered [[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]] whilst she was gaining information on him and his [[feral]] regressive state. She assisted the self-styled heir of [[Apocalypse (comics)|Apocalypse]], [[Genesis (comics)|Genesis]], with Wolverine's capture when Genesis wanted to [[brainwashing|brainwash]] Wolverine to be his first [[Horsemen of Apocalypse|Horseman]]. They attempted to re-bond the [[Adamantium (comics)|adamantium]] to Wolverine's skeleton which had been removed by [[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]] but the process failed. Wolverine's body violently expelled the metal, killing most of Genesis' followers, the [[Dark Riders (comics)|Dark Riders]]. [[Dirtnap (comics)|Dirtnap]]—one of the only Dark Riders to survive—teamed up with Chimera to get revenge on Wolverine. The two villains began to scheme and came up with a plan for vengeance. Chimera encountered Wolverine once again when he and [[Venom (comics)|Venom]] (along with some others, most notably [[Scream (comics)|Scream]]) were lured into a trap set by her by [[Dirtnap (comics)|Dirtnap]]. She and Dirtnap were both seemingly killed in an [[implosion]], but they survived and re-appeared in Emplate's dimensional nexus. Teaming up, the villains attacked the [[Generation X]] school in an attempt to kidnap the M twins, but to defend themselves the twins merged back into [[M (comics)|M]] and then merged with [[Emplate]], creating the being known as M-Plate. Chimera then captured [[Synch (comics)|Synch]] and fled along with M-Plate. Synch was later rescued by Generation X, and Chimera's current whereabouts are unknown. ==Powers and abilities== Chimera can generate [[ectoplasm]]ic flares to strike her enemies on various planes of being (i.e. physical, astral, etc.). ==Notes== *There are several other characters named Chimera in the Marvel Universe. These included a minor supervillainess, first seen as a member of [[Superia]]'s [[Femizons]], who has the ability to grow claws and bat-like wings at will, and a [[Skrull]], Commander Zuhn, who crashed on Earth in 1947 and disguised himself as the head of Winget Industries. ==External links== *[http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/characters/showquestion.asp?fldAuto=332 Uncannyxmen.net character bio on Chimera] *[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/femizons.htm#Chimera Chimera of the Femizons] *[http://www.lostgenerationhandbook.com/chimera.htm Commander Zuhn] [[Category:Marvel Comics mutants]] [[Category:Marvel Comics supervillains]]
