Arclight remains a memorable presence from the iconic Mutant Massacre storyline in Uncanny X-Men, where she debuted as part of the Marauders' brutal attack on the Morlocks. Her shockwave-generating powers and loyalty to Mister Sinister established her as a reliable enforcer in one of the X-Men's darkest chapters. While she's never been a top-tier villain, fans appreciate her consistent role as a dangerous team player in various Marauder appearances across X-Men continuity.
