Lilandra

Lilandra Neramani

Majestrix of the Shi'ar Empire and longtime love interest of Charles Xavier. Lilandra first came to Earth fleeing her brother D'Ken's mad quest for the M'Kraan Crystal, forging an alliance — and a psychic bond — with Xavier that would intertwine the fates of the X-Men and the Shi'ar for decades. As empress she has been both a powerful ally and a reluctant adversary, ordering the trial of Jean Grey during the Dark Phoenix Saga and later calling on the X-Men to defend the empire from threats like Vulcan and the Brood.
