Regan is the daughter of the original Mastermind. Originally an agent for the Hellfire Club, she joined the X-Men after being captured by Pandemic. Shortly after, she betrayed the X-Men and joined the Marauders and eventually the Sisterhood of Mutants.

Origin and history

Origin

Lady Mastermind (Regan Wyngarde) is the daughter of Jason Wyngarde, also known as Mastermind when he initially controlled and then freed the Phoenix Force. Her half-sister is Martinique Jason, also known as the second Mastermind. She first appeared during an X-Men mission in Australia, where she killed Lifeguard's and Slipstream's father. She is far more powerful than her father, because her illusions stay on even if she loses consciousness. In her first mission she worked with the Hellfire Club in an attempt to get revenge on Sage. The plan went awry and Regan ended up in a coma in a coma for about a year after one of her illusions was abruptly shattered.

X-Men

Awakening from her coma

Lady Mastermind was one of the few mutants to retain her powers following the events of M-Day. She later re-emerged as one of the mutants who had been experimented on by Pandemic, who was trying to discover if mutation could be "caught" like a disease. She was eventually rescued by Rogue's team of X-Men and subsequently joined them as a temporary member and the fact that she had a useful power. The teams leader, Rogue, also stated that she was only wearing an X-Uniform because when they found her, all she had on was a sheet. During a brutal battle with the Children of the Vault, Regan proves to be a worthy teammate when she assists in their defeat. The X-Men then confront Pandemic, the man who had experimented on Lady Mastermind and several other mutants. He later gets a hold of team leader Rogue and infects her with a lethal virus that causes her powers to spin out of control. Later, Lady Mastermind gets revenge against the man who captured her and puts his mind into a permanent temporal mind maze. The X-Men take Rogue to Cable's home in Providence to give her treatment. There, Lady Mastermind seeks help from a mental facility for hypnotherapy after noticing a parasitic invasion in her mind. She uses her powers to threaten the people who work in order to acquire a quick session. Lady Mastermind tries to rid the creature, a mummudrai named Hetacomb, from her mind but ends up unleashing it on Providence. It later infects Mystique and attacks millions of citizens before it is absorbed by Rogue's virus-enhanced powers.

In the next arc, "Blinded By The Light", Lady Mastermind joins her teammate Mystique in betraying the X-Men to the Marauders, helping them sneak into Mystique's old house with her illusion powers to create a sneak attack.

When Lady Mastermind attempted to hide the Marauders from X-Force with an illusion, Wolverine sniffs her out and stabs her in the chest, leaving her for dead.

Sisterhood of Mutants

Emma beats Lady Mastermind

Although, Regan was not killed, she was not seen until she again until she was recruited by the Red Queen and her Sisterhood of Mutants. Regan agrees to join the group of female villains after the Red Queen agrees to resurrect her father. Although Regan holds nothing but disdain for her sister, Martinique, who has also joined, the two work together in order to help resurrect Kwannon, and later to infiltrate the X-Mansion in San Fransisco. She is next seen attacking Emma Frost, placing her in an illusion after the Sisterhood invade the X-Mansion, Emma seemingly frees herself of the psychic illusion and brutally beat Regan leaving her bruised and knock out. She then pick up by Spiral after the Red Queen aquired a lock of Jean's hair from Wolverine. When the Sisterhood is divided, leaving Regan with both Martinique and Psylocke. She is then seen getting savagely beaten by Emma once more until Spiral teleports her and the remaining Sisterhood members after the Red Queen defeat.

Powers and abilities

Trapping Emma in an illusion

Lady Mastermind is a mutant who possesses the power to project extremely convincing and realistic illusions into the minds of others. Although similar in nature to the abilities her father had, Regans illusions seem much more powerful since they do not dissipate after she has lost consciousness. Also, unlike their father, Regan and her sister possesses limited telepathic abilities, which they use to make their illusions all the more accurate.

Regan's illusions are hypnotic based and her victims tend to accept them as fact, even if the images and scenarios that are created involve sudden changes to the world around, are inconsistent and/or improbable. An example would be when, Rogue, under Lady Mastermind's control, did not question the sudden existence of a multitude of Vargas', or the random jumps in location and time she was experiencing. As a result, Regan's illusions can be used as a very effective brainwashing tool.

Regan's illusion powers are also capable of killing, as her victims' bodies will respond as if her illusions are real. When Regan confronted Viceroy with the illusion that he was drowning, and believing it to be real, he suffocated, despite having no physical injuries and being in a room with sufficient oxygen. Heather Cameron's body also responded in a similar way, bleeding through the pores in her back when she was under the illusion she had been stabbed. Her illusions are also capable of putting her enemies into a permanent coma like state iif she telepathically places her victims mind in a maze from which there's no escape, thus effectively trapping her victims mind in a psychic prison.

She also carries two handguns in the belt of her X-Men uniform.
