She was created by Arnold Drake, Don Heck, Werner Roth and Jim Steranko, Polaris first appeared in The X-Men #49 in October of 1968. 
==Background==
For most of her publication history, she has been a superheroine, and a member of either the X-Men or one of its sister groups, such as X-Factor, though from 1987 to 1989, she was possessed by a villainous telepathic entity, and functioned as the supervillain Malice.
A mutant and recurring member of the X-Men, Polaris can control magnetism, similar to that of Magneto, whom she long suspected to be her biological father, a revelation confirmed in Uncanny X-Men #431 (November 2003). She has also had a complicated long term relationship her fellow X-Man Havok, to whom she was engaged to for a time. Another aspect of her character is her recurring struggles with mental-health issues, including infrequent but severe bouts of mental distress that cause her act erratically or have problems with her own powers and psyche. Polaris makes her live action debut in the television series The Gifted portrayed by actress Emma Dumont.
==Biography==
===Early Life===
thumb|alt=|250x250px
Lorna Sally Dane is the daughter of Max Eisenhardt, a mutant better known as "Magneto", whom had an affair with a woman named Suzanna. Though Lorna was born, Suzanna's husband Arnold later learned that she had an affair, and confronted her while flying a plane. Lorna attempted to stop her parents' argument, which caused the manifestation of her mutant powers and destroy the plane, killing Suzanna and Arnold. Lorna survived the plane crash, and Magneto had his associate Mastermind re-write Lorna's memories so she could believe her parents died in a plane crash. She was raised by Arnold's sister and adopted into their family, and didn't learn that they weren't her real parents until she was about twenty.
===Joining the X-Men ===
Lorna was found by the X-Men when they used Cerebro to identity mutants, and her magnetic powers emerged once again when she was controlled by Mesmero. Iceman provided evidence to Lorna that her biological parents died in a plane crash, and she turned against the Magneto android. After the incident, Lorna joined the X-Men and fell in love with her fellow teammate Alex Summers, who is code named "Havok". During her early career with the X-Men, she created the name "Magnetrix", but quickly dropped the name, and Havok would often call her that to annoy her. After battling against Krakoa island, Lorna and Havok left the team to pursue their interest in geophysics.
