Nicknames: Girly-Girl; Hot Dragonfly; Little Moth, Pix, Winged Witch
Megan Gwynn, also known as Pixie, was raised by her grandparents in the small mining town of Abergylid in Wales. Her mutant powers manifested in a near-miss road accident involving her bicycle and another car. She could manifest rainbow-colored butterfly wings allowing her to fly with great maneuverability.
Paragon Squad
After enrolling at the Xavier Institute, Megan was assigned to the Paragons training squad under the tutelage of former New Mutant, Wolfsbane. When it was discovered that Wolfsbane had been in a romantic relationship with a student, Elixir, she left the school, and was replaced by her former teammate, Magma.
Gwynn proved herself to be an amiable and cheerful student, and she fit in well with her squad. Following M-Day, nearly all of the Institute's students were depowered, leading to the dissolution of the school's training squads. Gwynn was one of only 27 students, along with her fellow former Paragons, Trance, Wolf Cub, and Match, to have retained their mutant abilities. Forty-two of Gwynn's former classmates were killed when a bus carrying several depowered students was ambushed. Among the confirmed deaths was Gwynn's fellow Paragon DJ.
House of X
Like countless other mutants, Pixie joined the mutant nation of Krakoa following its foundation. As a representative of the nation, Pixie took part in a few international missions, encountering the Champions, the Children of the Atom, and the Runaways, with whom she had a special bond. In one of her missions to an Orchis anti-mutant museum, she discussed with her friends how she was one of the few mutants on Krakoa who had never died and been resurrected by The Five. Encouraged by her friends, she decided to use her powers to traumatize one of the guards by making him kill her, deeply concerning Nightcrawler with her cavalier attitude towards death and the fact that, when she came back, she had lost a day of memories.
She later joined Nightcrawler and Doctor Nemesis on a mission to rescue Legion, who she'd never met but heard a lot about from his late girlfriend Blindfold. When they found him in an Orchis base, he had been reduced to just a brain, so Kurt was forced to kill him so he could be resurrected by the Five.
She was possessed by Onslaught along with everyone on the island, but eventually freed from his control. She was then sent by Legion and Nightcrawler alongside Doctor Nemesis, Dazzler and DJ to deprogram everyone using her soulsword as Onslaught was making everyone commit suicide while Xavier deleted their backups preventing their resurrections. They took them through a gate into the House of L, a pocket dimension in Legions mind where their thoughts could be merged, turning them into something that could defeat Legion.
POWERS and ABILITIES
Powers
Pixie is a hybrid mutant and fairy and possess powers granted to her both by her mutation and inherent magical abilities, without a clear distinction regarding the source of each power. Her powers include:
-Wings: Pixie has insectoid wings protruding from her back that allow her to engage in flight and with great maneuverability. Her wings were formerly rainbow-colored and butterfly-like, and after losing a piece of her soul, they were monochrome for a while, but they have since settled on a pink and blue-ish appearance. Following her time in the Age of X reality, Pixie was haunted by her memories of Nightmare, her Age of X counterpart, occasionally swapping from insectoid wings to batlike wings. This shift was psychologically based, and initiated by Nightmare (as an alter ego) taking dominance. It is unknown if she still has this ability, as Pixie requested that most of Nightmare's memories be removed.
-Hallucinogenic Dust: Pixie generates a dust that causes powerful visual and auditory hallucinations in her victims. This dust affects others by being inhaled or through skin contact. Often the hallucinations are calming and pleasant images such as teddy bears, bubbles and unicorns.
-Spell Casting: Pixie has innate magical aptitude; Doctor Strange initially promised to teach her more spells once she turned eighteen. Pixie was one of the many possible candidates for the title of Sorcerer Supreme.
-Teleportation: After the creation of her Souldagger, Darkchylde taught Pixie a teleportation spell, "Sihal novarum chinoth!". With this spell, Pixie can transport herself and others over great distances instantaneously. She can also teleport inter-dimensionally. Even while inexperienced in teleporting, Pixie has shown a great amount of aptitude for it to the point where she is able to warp to and reach locations before her teleportation coach: Nightcrawler.
-Demons Banishment: Using the spell from the Cheyennes magic book, she was able to banish demons.
-Sleeping Spell: Scarlet Witch taught Megan a sleeping spell "Mists of Morpheus, go!"
She was deemed a Low Threat by the O*N*E.
