Lourdes Chantel Returns To X-Men After 34 Years In July's Marauders
Lourdes Chantel was a mutant teleporter and lover of Hellfire Club's Black King, Sebastian Shaw. She tried to keep Shaw from the Hellfire Club but failed, as she was killed by Sentinels.
This all happened in the back-up strip to Classic X-Men #7 published by Marvel in 1987, a series which reprinted older issues of X-Men with new scenes written by Chris Claremont and, in this case, drawn by John Bolton.
And that was that. Until Krakoa and The Five started bringing mutants back from the dead.
Well, Lourdes Chantel is back in Marauders #22, in today's July 2021 solicitations, presumably resurrected from the dead. And I'm told that Marvel will be running her first appearance in the back of the issue as a bonus. We are also led to note Harry Leland of the Hellfire Club on play on the chessboard below, even as Sebastian Shaw is knocked down…
