Otherwise known as Mirage, Danielle Moonstar is a mutant born with incredible psychic abilities, but it’s her leadership skills and sheer tenacity that make her such an important part of the New Mutants. From her early origins to her latest adventures, this is the untold truth of Mirage.

Dani is one of the five founding mutants to first appear in 1982's original graphic novel The New Mutants. Ironically, considering she would eventually become one of the team's leaders, Dani is initially the least cooperative of Professor X's recruits.

Dani is first found in the mountains of Colorado with her mountain lion friend Ridge-Runner. When Dani's grandfather Black Eagle shows up, urging Dani to become Professor X's student, she angrily refuses. As a Native American, who is well aware of the betrayals her people have suffered, Dani is distrustful of anyone outside her own tribe. But Black Eagle insists, telling Dani that Xavier served in the Army with her father, and even became his blood brother.

It's soon revealed that Black Eagle has already sent a letter to Professor X, and he, Wolfsbane, and Karma show up in time to save Dani from the mutant-hunting forces of Donald Pierce. Sadly, by that time, the bad guys have already killed Black Eagle and Ridge-Runner. Dani agrees to help Xavier and his students, but only to seek vengeance on Pierce himself.

By the end of that first story, Dani has begun to forge friendships with the other New Mutants. She uses her powers to help save Sunspot from the Hellfire thugs who killed his girlfriend, and in the final battle, she even lets go of her chance to kill Pierce in order to help save the wounded Wolfsbane. Keep watching to see more of the untold truth of Marvel's Mirage.
