Pixie was a member of Paragons up until they disbanded following M-Day. She is currently a member of the X-Men.

Origin

The Paragons
The Paragons
Megan Gwynn is a Welsh teenager who attends the Xavier Institute for mutants. Her mutant powers activated after an accident with her bicycle in the road nearly hitting car. She got a scholarship to attend the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning. After enrolling at the Institute, Gwynn was assigned to the Paragons training squad under the tutelage of former New Mutant, Rahne Sinclair, Wolfsbane. When it was revealed that Sinclair had been in a romantic relationship with a student, Josh Foley, she left the school, and was replaced by her former teammate, Magma.

Gwynn has proven herself to be an amiable and cheerful student, and she fit in well with her squad. Following the events of House of M, almost all of the Institute's students were de-powered, leading to the dissolution of the school's training squads. Gwynn is one of only 27 student, along with her fellow former Paragons, Trance, Wolf Cub, and Match, to have retained her mutant abilities.


Pixie Before The Souldagger
Pixie Before The Souldagger
In the ' Quest for Magik' story arc, she was one of the young mutants taken into Limbo by Belasco. She and several other students were rescued by Illyana Rasputin. Illyana selected Pixie as an innocent soul from which to create a new Soulsword. The process was interrupted by Anole, and the end result was Megan holding a small Souldagger, since only a small portion of her soul was transferred and replaced with black magic.  Rockslide, newly reformed, then forced Darkchilde to tell them how to get their friends, and she tells him she has to teach Pixie a teleportation spell ( Sihal Novarum Chinoth), which she does and they manage to teleport to Belasco's castle. She would then use the Souldagger to incapacitate and seriously weaken Belasco, allowing Illyana to finish him off.

She later mentions that Doctor Strange was willing to teach her more spells once she turned 18, but only if she took a vow of silence (perhaps an indirect way of stating that she talked too much). An examination by Amanda Sefton and Doctor Strange indicated that despite the loss of a fifth of her soul, she had "plenty of soul to spare."  After talking to Dust, Beast and Gentle, Pixie talks to Surge, telling her how she thinks Surge and David make a cute couple.  They are stopped by Cyclops and Wolverine, Cyclops wanting to talk to Surge, and Pixie wanting to talk to Cyclops, but instead of that she gets to go and train with Wolverine.  She then flies through the kitchen behind Loa and Wolf Cub, with Wolverine in chase, cursing about the unicorns he's seeing as a result of her "pixie dust".

While Dust, Mercury, and Rockslide are taking flowers to the dead students, Predator X heads up to where the injured ones are but Gentle and Armor attack it so Pixie can teleport it to X-23 because she remembers Laura killing one of them, but she also teleports them all to where the X-Men are fighting.

Cyclops, sends the New X-Men to fight the marauders, then Omega Sentinel  (possessed by Malice at the time) starts attacking Pixie, hitting her in the face, she then tells her if the X-Men its now sending kindergarten students to fight and if she had brought her money, but Pixie takes out her souldagger and stabs Omega Sentinel in her chest, almost killing her.

Sometime later Pixie returns home to Wales.

Back Home

Following the events of Messiah Complex, Pixie returns to her hometown to find the N'Garai have plague the town and are kidnapping people to feed Kierrok the Damned, their leader. Pixie calls in the X-Men to help defeat the N'Garai and Megan has to face her fear of the mine in which her father was killed to defeat the demons plaguing her town. After defeating Kierrok, Cyclops and the rest of the X-Men take her back to America and joins the newly reformed X-Men in San Francisco.

Uncanny X-Men

After attending a Dazzler concert, Megan and her companion were brutally beaten by human extremists known as the Hellfire Cult. The men wore masks that made them invulnerable to her "Pixie Dust." In the heat of the battle, Pixie forgets how to teleport, and is left to fight the men hand to hand. Using skills learned from Wolverine, she attempted to fight back, but she was struck down by a club impacting on the back of her head. The incident ruined her wings as well. Somehow, Pixie managed to make it back to the Graymalkin Industries, the current home of the X-men. Wolverine is the first to see the brutally injured Pixie and finds out what happened to her. Later Pixie is Hospitalized for her wounds. When she awakes, Beast is at her side talking to her. After their chat he informs her of a special guest waiting to see her. With a glow of dancing Lights around her, Dazzler enters the room. Pixie is floored as her idol is laying eyes upon her at her absolute worst.

Sometime later Wolverine catches Pixie sneaking out of the side door to the hospital. He asks her to where she is headed and she replies that she's going to Oakland. An obvious lie. Not pushing it too hard, Wolverine asks if Dazzler offered her a "gig." Pixie says yes and that she also declined working for her idol. Wolverine shrugs her off with a "Whatever girly girl" and Pixie begins inspecting his car. She asks if his car actually works and he dares her to ask that question again. Next thing you know the pair of them are in the car roaring down the road. Pixie begs him to slow down as they're going too fast. Seconds later they arrive in Oakland, the place Pixie was originally headed. Wolverine questions her intentions for wanting to go to Oakland. She tells him that it's because she thought she could start over with the X-men. But instead of the new life she was hoping for, she was badly beaten. Pixie exits the car saying she just wanted to be a normal girl. Wolverine reminds her of her wings to which Pixie points out they're broken because of that beating she received from the Hellfire Cult.  After a few hours of sitting on the street in her new home, Pixie realizes she's made a great mistake by leaving the X-Men. She borrows a scooter from one of her new friends and heads back to graymalkin industries.

A few words of Wisdom from Beast.

Pixie is later seen driving by on the Golden Gate Bridge, still on the scooter she borrowed earlier. She has some inner dialogue with herself. It's all mainly to pump her up and to try to keep her mind on things, just to keep things centered and in perspective. She stops along the way and makes a call to Beast. Beast informs her that the X-Men are pursuing a mutant named, Empath. He also cautions her not to try and help, to just stay out of it. Pixie reminds him that she is an X-man, and her teammates need her help. She plugs in Empath's coordinates into her GPS, and heads off. Beast later calls her back and proceeds to yell at the poor girl. He tells her that Empath is very dangerous and she should fall back. Pixie purposely drops her phone and continues on her way. She repeats to herself that they "beat her up, they broke her wings," And is further driven onward by her emotion.

Storm and Wolverine are confronting Emplate when Pixie arrives. Wolverine picks up her scent and acknowledges her presence with his signature "girly girl." Pixie Leaps off the scooter and yells at Empath, telling him to leave her friends alone. With one arm she elbows him in the nose and badly injures his face. Empath stumbles backwards and Pixie continues wailing on him. Empath tries to mind control at this point. He repeatedly tells her to "give up" and that she has a "dead dad." But they don't work on her and Pixie continues fighting him. He tries harder telling her that her dad is now in hell where the other dead dads are but still she resists him. After a moment she forms her souldagger and tells Empath that she herself has been to hell. Holding the blade over her head she also informs him that he wouldn't like it there, before plunging it into his forehead. Empath realizes he can't see and then passes out. Later Pixie and Dazzler are on stage performing together.

Pixie and Nightcrawler are having a friendly race via their abilities to teleport. The race was to start at the Transamerica Pyramids and end at the Golden Gate Bridge. By the time Nightcrawler arrives, Pixie has already been there waiting on him. Nightcrawler is shocked that she had made it there so fast but even more shocked when she tells him her next piece of information. Pixie says that not only did she beat him, but she did it all in one "jump." Nightcralwer is floored as he had to take multiple "jumps" to reach the bridge. Nightcralwer reveals that he may be slightly jealous of the young girl and challenges her to one last race. Pixie tells him to name the place and Nightcralwer says the "Danger room." WIthout giving her any further warning, Nightcrawler teleports out of sight. Pixie clears the smoke he leaves behind and even says "that's not fair" before using her teleporting spell to chase after him. Even with his years of experience and slight trickery he just pulled, Nightcralwer still couldn't beat Pixie back to the Danger Room. Nightcrawler praises her and tells her that she's exceed all of his expectations and that they're done with their teleporting lessons. Moving gently forward, Nightcrawler asks Pixie if it's alright if they talk about her soul dagger. Pixie immediately becomes defensive and Asks Nightcrawler why he wants to know. He tells her that Cyclops wanted him to ask and that just further infuriates Pixie. Nightcralwer continues on, saying that when she uses it, she's not quite "herself." His comments throw Pixie into an emotional rant. She says, " Colossus ' crazy little sister stole a piece of my soul, do you know what that feels like, the emptiness? I HAVE A WHOLE IN MY HEART THANKS TO HER." Nightcrawler instantly feels bad and Pixie begins to tear up. A little lost in herself she recounts the moments up to when she was about to have her soul taken. They were just kids in Limbo, all alone. Mercury, Prodigy, and Elixir were all about to die until Illyana said she knew of a way to stop it. So Pixie did what she had to in order to save her friends. She gave up a piece of her soul. Snapping out of her thought Pixie begins to Summon her soul dagger to Nightcrawler's disbelief. He asks her what she's doing, but it's too late. She stabs him with her Souldagger with a devilish grin on her face. After a few moments she snaps out of the trance that she's in.

Mercury and Rockslide come running down to see what all has just transpired. Beast enters as well and notes Nightcrawler laying in the middle of the danger room with the souldagger in his chest. Pixie has no idea what she did and is shocked when Mercury, with the help of Rockslide, recount the events. Beast tells Pixie to pull the dagger out to which she hesitates. Mustering up some courage, Pixie pulls the dagger from Nightcrawler's chest and is shocked when something else comes along with it. In Pulling out the dagger, Pixie also managed to pull out the Soul Sword from Nightcrawler's body. In Limbo, Illyana Rasputin feels something inside her and smiles wickedly. She instantly teleports from Limbo to the X-men Danger Room, noting that they have something she was looking for.

Once again Illyana demands that Pixie return her her soulsword, but beat tries to reason with her. He fails and is knocked aside by Illyana while Pixie cowers with the sword clutched to her chest. Rockslide then jumps in and tells Megan to get behind her because he's immune to her attacks. He also fails as the last time he was put back together, it was with the surrounding rocks from Limbo. Mercury then tries her hand at harming Illyana. Illyana tells the girl that all she wants is her soulsword and no one will get hurt. Mercury pushes forward with her attack and succeeds in piercing Illyana in her right shoulder. Illyana applauds her impressive immunity to her attack but does a different spell to rid the girl from the fight. Turning her attentions back onto Pixie she demands the soulsword once again. Pixie looks at the Beatrice Medallion hanging around Illyana's neck and tells her she wants a piece of her soul back. Illyana says that if she wants it then she should come and take it. A battle starts between the pair of them but doesn't last too long. Illyana says "Gravata Sinova Clatorim" and beams of energy come shooting from her eyes. Pixie blocks them behind the soulsword and souldagger, but they are still too much for her to handle and she is defeated. Illyana reclaims her soulsword from the girl and is transformed into her human form. Illyana's transform isn't complete and she freaks out and then teleports to Limbo in a hurry.

Powers

Pixie: Creating the Souldagger
Pixie: Creating the Souldagger
Pixie possesses insect-like wings that allow her to fly with great manueverability. In addition, she produces a so called 'pixie dust' that causes hallucinations. At present, it has been hinted in a conversation between her and Blindfold that she cannot control the hallucinations caused by her power, though is usually causes visions of things such as unicorns, bubbles, and giant teddy bears. She has pink hair and pitch-black eyes.

After the Quest for Magik story arc, her hair color has changed to black, with pink streaks, and she can summon a Souldagger (a smaller version of Illyana Rasputin's Soulsword made from a fifth of her soul) which allows her to disrupt magic and harm magic creatures. Pixie also knows a teleportation spell, taught to her by Illyana Rasputin.

She has great magical potential, but has yet to recieve significant training.
