Talisman

History:

The daughter of Doctor Michael Twoyoungmen, Elizabeth was promised by her father that her mother would not die due to a severe illness she had contracted. When her mother eventually did die, Elizabeth resented her father and left home.

She eventually became an archaeologist, and whilst on a dig freed a trapped evil spirit. Calling on her father for help, it was discovered that she was destined to be the Talisman, a mystical guardian of Earth. She accepted the role, and donned the mystical circlet that marked the wearer as the Talisman, but quickly discovered that she could never remove it.

Elizabeth joined Alpha Flight but, during one of their adventures, became lost within her father`s mystical pouch. Freed later by the Beyonder, she became vengeful against her father for not freeing her himself and tricked him into birthing Snowbird`s baby within a place that held an evil spirit called Pestilence. She intended to defeat the spirit to show-up her father, but the spirit defeated her, ripping the talisman from her forehead. Passing out from the intense pain, her father donned the Talisman to defeat the spirit, becoming the new guardian against evil.

Elizabeth returned to her archaeological studies but, discovering an ancient cairn, she was contacted by the spirit of Snowbird that warned her of the coming of Dreamqueen. She contacted Alpha Flight, resumed her mantle as Talisman, and together defeated the Dreamqueen.

Elizabeth`s greatest challenge was against Llan the Sorceror, who was attempting to open the Gateway of Night to destroy the world. With the help of Doctor Strange, Talisman opened the Gateway of Day and the two cancelled each other out, defeating Llan.

Soon afterwards, she encountered the Master and, in an attempt to defeat his Remnant Men, had to filter through all of the magic within Shaman`s pouch, a feat which left her comatose. After a while she recovered and was used by the new Omega Flight to release a race of flesh-eating creatures known as the Ska`ar onto the Earth. Working with Beta Flight, she was able to battle the Master and Omega Flight and return the Ska`ar to their prison.

Talisman then became a member of Beta Flight, and served as a member until Department H disbanded both it and Alpha Flight. Her current whereabouts are unknown.
