Fictional character biography
Tildie's mutant abilities first manifested when she was asleep in her mother's bed and had a nightmare, from which a monster manifested and killed her mother. Her father rushed in to save Tildie, but was killed as well. The police were called to investigate, during which an Officer Hoyt was killed before Tildie was apprehended and taken to Benetech Labs, where she was used as a guinea pig for a "Cure" for mutants by Dr. Kavita Rao. During her time with her, Tildie lost her abilities[1] and was taken hostage by Ord before the X-Men rescued her and returned her to Benetech.[2]
