Diamond Lil was an original member of Omega flight. She was one of the villains who killed Guardian in issue 12 of Alpha Flight.

Origin

Lillian Crawley was a recruited for Department H by the Canadian government. Little is known of her life prior to this. Lil was entered into Gamma Flight because while her powers were Alpha Flight level, her attitude was not. While with the group she started a relationship with Madison Jeffries. After the government stopped funding the group she laid low until she was recruited by Jerome Jaxon. During the battle with Omega Flight, Guardian was killed. Diamond Lil, along with the rest of her group, was sent to prison.

Some time later Lil rejoined Gamma Flight at the governments request in exchange for a full pardon. She was soon reunited with Madison Jeffries and received an invitation to join Alpha Flight shortly after. Diamond Lil found a lump in her breast but due to her mutation there was no way to biopsy it to test for cancer. During a fight Lil was cut by laser that was grafted to the attacking alien. She ripped the laser out of his body and brought it to the government so she could have her biopsy. The lump was determined to be benign.

During a battle with Diablo Madison Jeffries was seriously injured and Lil refused to leave his side. Facing certain death he proposed to her, the couple survived and were wed shortly after. Lil retired but her husband continued to help Alpha Flight and she threatened to divorce him.

The results of M-Day found Diamond Lil to still have her powers. She accepted the offer of sanctuary at the Xavier Institute but soon grew angry with their treatment and left with Mr. M.

Powers

Diamond Lil's mutant ability constantly generates an extremely strong force field around her entire body. The force field remains even when separated from her body, for example a piece of her hair is strong enough to choke someone even when removed from her head.
