History


Megan Gwynn is a Welsh teenager who's powers manifested in a near-miss road accident involving her bicycle and another car. She now attends the Xavier Institute for mutants. After enrolling at the Institute, Gwynn was assigned to the Paragons training squad under the tutelage of former New Mutant, Wolfsbane (Rahne Sinclair). When it was revealed that Sinclair had been in a romantic relationship with a student, Josh Foley (Elixir), she left the school, and was replaced by her former teammate, Magma (Amara Aquilla).

Gwynn as proven herself to be an amiable and cheerful student, and she fit in well with her squad. Following the events of House of M, almost all of the Institue's students were depowered, leading to the dissolution of the school's training squads. Gwynn is one of only 27 student, along with her fellow former Paragons, Trance, Wolf Cub, and Match, to have retained her mutant abilities.

Recently, 42 of Gwynn's former classmates were killed when a bus carrying several depowered students was ambushed. Among the confirmed deaths was Gwynn's fellow Paragon DJ.




Pixie, along with Anole, Loa, Wolf Cub, Gentle, Rockslide, and Match, were told a frightening "ghost story" by their fellow student, Blindfold, one night at the school. Pixie, frightened by the story, tells Blindfold that she doesn't like her anymore. Blindfold apologizes to her and told her, "I'm sorry for your loss". It soon turned out that this tale wasn't a story at all, but rather a vision of things past and of things to come. The group was soon sucked down into the realm of Limbo, where they were immediately attacked by a mob of demons. Pixie stays by Blindfold's side during the fight, and Blindfold cautions Pixie and the others that Gwynn must not "fall into darkness". She was shown using her powers for the first time, incapacitating several demons with her "pixie dust", causing them to suffer psychadelic hallucinations. After Magik saves the small group, she asks N'astirh to bring Megan to her. Despite her friends' trying to stop her, Megan gave into Magik's request for a soul to create a Soulsword which actually resembles a Soulknife. Illyana then explains that the knife is actually a portion of Pixie's own soul and that black magic has now filled the hole left behind in the knife's creation, leaving Pixie to no longer be an innocent personality as well as changing a great portion of her hair black instead of the previous pink.

Pixie is taught a teleportation spell by Illyana she teleports her and her friends to Belasco to stop him from torturing the rest of the team. She is then told that in order to save her friends she must use her knife to stab Belasco. Initially hesitant, Pixie follows through with her orders and loses more of her innocence by killing the villain. After defeating Belasco and escaping from Limbo, Pixie was officially made a member of the New X-Men.

Pixie is sitting in the medical lab along with Dust and Nezhno where she reveals that when she is of age, Dr. Strange will tutor her in magic. She also questions Sooraya about her religion and gushes over how Nehzno protected her in Limbo.

Later she participates in a training session with Wolverine where she makes him see unicorns. She is also questioned by Mercury about her age and Hellion assumes she is the youngest because she is the most immature.

Pixie, along with the other New X-Men takes part in a battle against the Acolytes when they attack the mansion seeking the Destiny Diaries. Blindfold later states that Pixie will soon be injured at the end of the arc.

When the first new mutant since M-Day appears, Pixie joins X-23, Hellion, Anole, Surge, Armor and Rockslide in attacking the Washington DC base of the Purifiers by teleporting them there. They are opposed by Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers. When Julian is injured and the Reavers are about to attack, Pixie panics and cannot teleport the team out until Rictor, who infiltrated the Purifiers as a spy, tells her to concentrate or else they'll all die. Pixie does so, but blindly teleports the team, scattering them between Washington, D.C. and the Xavier Institute. Injured, she mentally calls out to Emma Frost, breaking Emma's concentration on the fight between a group of X-Men and the Marauders.

Later, back at the mansion, she is with several other students and Beast when Predator X attacks several students outside, then changes tactics to go after the weaker wounded students in the infirmary. Pixie, realizing that X-23 had killed this type of creature before, attempts to teleport Predator X to X-23's location, but mistakenly takes the majority of the students and Beast along with her and the creature, dropping them in the middle of the X-Men's fight with the Marauders on Muir Island.

During the fight, Pixie is brutally beaten by the Malice-possessed Omega Sentinel, who taunts Pixie until Megan unexpectedly stabs her foe with her Soul-dagger, exorcising Malice from Omega Sentinel's body.

She is later seen being consoled by Mercury after Professor X is shot and mortally wounded.

With the X-men established in San Francisco, Pixie joins the team and as the Secret Invasion begins, Pixie joins in the fight to defend the city, being assigned her own team to battle the Skrulls.
