TheVoid is a paradise. I can wield my power here without shame. Unfortunately, I had noCharles Xavier to teach me temperance.

Origins[]

Thisvariant of Cassandra Nova Xavier was an Omega levelmutant and the twin sister ofCharles Xavier, whom she tried to strangle in the womb with her umbilical cord. Not long after she and Charles were born, Cassandra was deemed a danger to themultiverse by theTime Variance Authority, and was banished to theVoid.

As she grew into an adult, Cassandra found the barren, ruined wasteland the ideal place to explore and perfect her telekinetic abilities and tactile telepathy without restraint, though her isolation and immense power made her cruel and greedy.^[1]

Reign in the Void[]

Over the course of several years, Cassandra amassed a community of variants, many of them mutants, who had been banished to the Void, and ruled over them with an iron fist with her powers, operating out of the enlarged corpse of anAnt-Man variant. She even amassed an army ofDeadpool variants known as theDeadpool Corps. A smallresistance was formed against her, but they could barely withstand her power and were sent to hide in the woods.

Cassandra eventually came into contact with rogue TVA agentMr. Paradox, who made a deal with her that she could rule the Void as she pleased, as a way of keeping her at bay. However, she came into possession of aSling Ring from aDoctor Strange variant, and so, unbeknownst to the TVA, could leave the Void any time she pleased.^[1]

Conflict with Deadpool and Wolverine[]

Eventually, Cassandra's scavenger convoy, led byPyro, brought to her theJohnny Storm variant who had worked with the Resistance against her, along with newly-arrived variants of theWolverine andDeadpool. After she killed Johnny, Cassandra took interest in Wolverine, given his connection to a version of her brother, and revealed she had a way to send them home. However, she refused to do so, and so the pair fought through her forces and managed to escape.

The next day, Deadpool and Wolverine returned with the rest of the Resistance, and together they stormed Cassandra's fortress. Wolverine managed to confront her face to face, but she entered his mind and saw all his pain and grief over having failedhis world and losing hisX-Men. Immediately after emotionally connecting with Wolverine, she was shot and nearly killed by Pyro, but saved by Wolverine and Deadpool. Out of gratitude, she used the Sling Ring to form a portal back to Deadpool's timeline,Earth-10005, and sent them through it.

Cassandra Nova was anOmega Level Mutant with the powers of:

• Telekinesis: Cassandra possesses the power to move, stop, and manipulate objects. She has reacted and stopped both Wolverine and Deadpool, who tried to kill her. Using this power, she removed all skin from Johnny Storm's body with only a gesture of her hand.
  • Intangibility: By manipulating her own molecular structure, Cassandra can move herself through solid matter. She is able to use this offensively, allowing her to phase through people to cause internal damage.
  • Regeneration: Cassandra can mentally stimulate her own body to heals faster than a normal human. Thanks to this superhumanly regenerative "healing factor", she has been able to completely recover from injuries which would prove fatal to most humans, even those with superhuman abilities.
  • Teleportation: By manipulating her own physical matter, Cassandra can displace herself to reappear in other locations within a certain range. This allows her to sneak up on people undetected, making it easier to attack them.
• Tactile Telepathy: While making physical contact with her victim, Cassandra can enter, manipulate, and alter people's mindscape with or without the targets' agreement, as well as telepathically experience their memories and thoughts.
  • Psionic Blasts: Cassandra can project a powerful psychic blast that can hit her target mentally or physically.

• Master Tactician

• Sling Ring: After killing a variant of Dr. Strange, she stole his sling ring and learned to manipulate Eldritch Magic, being able to open portals to other dimensions in the multiverse.

• Emma Corrin portrayed Cassandra Nova inDeadpool & Wolverine. In the same film,Morena Baccarin portrayed her when she disguised herself asVanessa Carlysle inside Deadpool's mind.
• Corrin researched their role as Cassandra through the Marvel Database.^[2]
