Following the failed assassination attempt during which a key component of the male genetic birthing matrix—stolen to replace an identical component of the Femizon's matrix—is destroyed, Lyra is dispatched back in time to the era of
Dark Reign on
Earth-616 in a last-ditch attempt to prevent the extinction of her people. Assisted by Boudicca, a digital wrist toy reprogrammed with Femizon technology, Lyra begins seeking the greatest hero of the era—by which she inevitably means a man, due to the word's definition male-specific curse in her culture. Due to many of the warring tribes of men having taken former heroes such as
Wolverine and
Sentry as symbols of worship to continue their war on the Femizons, Lyra hopes that by killing the greatest hero, the men will have nothing to worship and many Femizons will be spared. She comes into conflict with the original
She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters). In this fight, She-Hulk makes references to
Thundra and how she looks similar to Lyra, which angers Lyra. It is then discovered that Lyra becomes weaker as she becomes angrier. Before Jennifer can capitalize, the Sentry intervenes. Lyra tells the Sentry that she is looking for the greatest hero, and the name of that hero is
Norman Osborn. When Lyra finally manages to confront him, she reveals that her mission is not to kill him, but to breed with him. Upon kissing him, she recollects all the evil he will be responsible for creating in the future and refuses to go through with it. Norman and the rest of the Dark Avengers corner Lyra, but Jennifer Walters rushes to her aid. Both manage to escape by the aid of
A.R.M.O.R. Instead of returning to her Earth, Lyra decides to stay and become an agent of A.R.M.O.R. Lyra went out in search of Jennifer Walters, as only she could help her in orientation on Earth-616. However, she is attacked by the Gamma Corps, who were hired by Osborn to capture her and Boudicca to recover incriminating files she stole from Osborn and to gain knowledge of the future that would be beneficial to Osborn. Lyra, however, proves to be too difficult to capture. She is later seen in the company of
Red She-Hulk and M.O.D.O.K and has joined their ranks for unknown reasons. After Thundra betrays
Intelligencia to aid
Red Hulk, Lyra takes her position in the Frightful Four. It is later revealed that Lyra only joined The Frightful Four in hopes of getting information on Jennifer's whereabouts. She finds her in stasis on an Intelligencia base. Lyra manages to free her, but both are attacked by Red She-Hulk. After a brief fight with her, they manage to convince her to fight alongside them to stop Intelligencia. Following the defeat of Intelligencia, Lyra begins traveling with her father,
brother, Jennifer,
Rick Jones, and Betty Ross. During the
Fear Itself storyline, Lyra works with
Namor,
Loa, and
Doctor Strange to reclaim Atlantis from
Attuma. The group is even assisted by
Silver Surfer when he arrives to help. Following
Fear Itself, Lyra is seen as part of the new class of students when the
Avengers Academy moves to the former headquarters of the
West Coast Avengers. After her time at the Avengers Academy, Lyra later resurfaces on an environmental crusade against
fracking operations by large corporations. The Hulk, now controlled by his Doc Green persona, ambushes Lyra and attempts to defeat her as part of his plan to rid the world of
Gamma-powered superhumans. He plans to send her back to her original timeline, but the process is hijacked by Green's A.I., Gammon, who instead traps Lyra in a hellish alternate dimension. Randall Jessup and Daman Veteri (two of Green's assistants) track down Lyra, only to find that she has become the empress of the dimension she was banished to, subjugating the male population and even forcing some of them into her own royal harem of sex slaves. However, she formed a peaceful matriarchy like her home world and she would rather stay there than go back. The three are accidentally teleported back to Earth-616, and Veteri and Jessup agree to become Lyra's servants until they can find a way to get her back to her kingdom. Lyra is later shown to have left Earth-616 and reunited with her mother in
Weirdworld. ==Powers and abilities==
