Later she was shot and only a blood transfusion saved her. The same blood transfusion, using the android Human Torch's blood saved her and gave her super powers of her own. She served with the Invaders until they disbanded and then accepted a place on Roger Aubrey's Penance Council until her brother died in a car crash. Later she married Lord Chricton, and retired from the superhero business. She got a son by Lord Chricton, Kenneth Chricton. Later an elderly woman, she helped Namor get away from people who had him kidnapped, she was badly wounded but got a new blood transfusion from the original Human Torch, thereby making her young again and given her back her superhuman powers. She chose to stay in retirement, and wears a wig to try to hide the fact that she is a young woman again.
