Eliza Leonetti is a mutagen bomb victim lizard who encountered Nightwatcher following a traumatic encounter.
History[]
Eliza was an artist and a rising partner at a marketing firm. She was unfortunately diagnosed with skin cancer, and began taking an experimental treatment called Lazarynx. After the mutagen bomb, however, the insurance company dropped her, as they were cutting all mutants from their coverage to save money. Even outside of that, the M-Bomb victims' health issues were neglected overall.
As her mutation did not only not cancel out the cancer, but manifested a set of spikes all over her body that she couldn't control the retraction of, she began committing crimes in order to pay for treatment, in the form of theft and then running drugs for someone going by the name Lao Ban. Lao Ban also used his connections to get her the treatment directly, but began cutting her off, forcing her spikes to grow out of control again.
On April 2, while attempting to get away from a couple of Lao Ban's enforcers, she accidentally sliced up a few pedestrians and stabbed a man named Dan Fantasio. She became an infamous and wanted figure since then.
Finding from a police file that she was a painter with an uptown studio, Nightwatcher found her at that location and a fight ensued while Nightwatcher tried to get her to talk. Eventually, she persuades her, and Eliza tells her what happened. They formulate a plan, with Eliza broadcasting on the internet her statement, and then faking her death in an explosion triggered by Nightwatcher via remote. In exchange for the final bits of information about who's doing the drug running, Nightwatcher sends Eliza off to hopeful sanctuary on Mutant Island. Nightwatcher #3
