She is also a long time member of the guard and has served the Shi'ar through all of the leaders. She was one of the very few to survive Vulcans assault upon the Imperial Guard.

Age of Apocalypse

As in the regular Marvel 616 universe, Scintilla was a member of the Imperial Guard in this alternate reality. Along with Gladiator and the rest of the Guard, she confronted Gambit and the X-Force, mistaking them for enemies when they teleported to the M'Kraan Crystal. With the help of Rictor, Scintilla and the Guard attempted to capture the mutants, only to be killed by the M'Kraan's expanding crystal wave while Gambit and his team escaped.

It is not known what alien race Scintilla belongs to. She has the ability to change her size and mass, giving herself proportionately increased strength. She also can fly with the use of her "flight belt".
