Origin
Tildie’s powers manifested when she was asleep in her mother’s bed. She was having a nightmare that came to life due to her power. The nightmare killed her mother who was sleeping beside her. Her father rushed in to see what was happening and was also killed as a result. The Cops got calls about the incident and they came to her house to see what was happening. Officer Hoyt was killed in the same way as her parents.
Tildie was then aprehended and taken to Benetech Labs, where she was used a guinea pig for the “Cure” by Kavita Rao. Dr. Rao took pity on Tildie because of her ordeal but really wanted to make a name with her discovery. Tildie then lost her powers as a successful result and stayed at the labs with Dr. Rao as she was now an orphan.
One night, Ord of the Breakworld broke into Benetech Labs. Ord kidnapped Tildie and used her as a hostage hopefully to flush out the X-men. But his plans were thwarted and Tildie was sucessfuly taken by the X-Men and safely returned back to the Benetech Labs.
