Dragonfly was the only female member of Count Nefaria's Ani-Men who clashed with the X-Men at NORAD in Cheyenne Mountain.^[1] After she was defeated, she was imprisoned at Muir Island, but managed to escape.^[2]

She was later a member of the army of super-powered women known as the Femizons who clashed with Captain America and Paladin.

Veronica was kidnapped and further mutated by the Stranger, and was imprisoned in the Stranger's Laboratory World for the alien to study her. She remained there until freed by the Over-Mind, eventually returning to Earth alongside several of the other specimens following a rescue by Quasar.^[3]

She worked with the reality-displaced Squadron Supreme and occasionally assumed the appearance of a giant dragonfly who could control insects. In this state, she was left mindless and manipulated into doing her sister's bidding.^[4]

Later still, Dragonfly was a member of the incarnation of the Masters of Evil led by the female Crimson Cowl who clashed with the Thunderbolts.^[5]

Dragonfly was briefly recruited into Baron Zemo's Army of Evil.^[6]

Dragonfly was among several animal-themed super-villains captured by the Taskmaster and the Black Ant to serve as hunting targets in Central Park for a host of wealthy participants controlling robotic drones, part of a plot concocted by Kraven the Hunter and Arcade.^[7]

• Winged Flight: Dragonfly has dragonfly-like wings, enabling her to fly at 45 mph.
• Hypnosis: Dragonfly can release a hypnotizing ray through her forehead's antennae, rendering a single victim within 5' susceptible to all of her commands.

Due to her unstable genetic makeup, Dragonfly's body absorbs radiation and uses it to further mutate her into a 12' long dragonfly with the power to communicate with and mentally control every insect within a 200' radius. Excess radiation is slowly released (this is expedited by immersion in water), reversing any radiation-induced mutations. Consultant's armor made her bulletproof.

Former Powers[]

• Communication with and Mental Control of Insects: After mutating into a giant dragonfly, Dragonfly was able to communicate with and mentally control several kinds of insects.^[4]

Flight under her own power. Vehicles of any team she is working with.

• Dragonfly's escape from Muir Island in X-Men #104 was intended to lead to the character's appearance as part of an all-female team called the Furies which X-Men penciler Dave Cockrum was planning. Despite the book being tentatively greenlit, Cockrum never finished the plot for the team's first story, and the idea eventually fell apart, so Dragonfly's escape from Muir Island was never addressed.^[8]
