Origin[]
Illyria was a high ranking spy for her unspecified nation, which was hostile to the United States. Her mission was to thwart the Americans and steal their secrets. She reported to a mysterious man named The Green Hood, until the Hood tried to have her whipped for her failure to destroy the hero Minute-Man, who thwarted her schemes on a regular basis. Minute Man eventually captured her, but she has escaped prison at least once before.
Illyria considered herself a patriot, and had a certain sense of honor. She was considered deadly, but she generally did not kill any more than was necessary to accomplish her goals.
Powers and Abilities[]
She was very clever and used her good looks to her advantage, often feigning weakness to get her opponents to drop their guard. She was a master of disguise and was an expert knife thrower. In addition to knives, she usually concealed a small gun on her person as well.
