NOT REALLY MUCH TO SAY ABOUT VAL. SHE WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF MUTANT AFFAINR IN THE US GOVERNMENT. SHE, FOR A TIME, LED FREEDOM FORCE, A TEAM OF CONVICTED CRIMINALS INCLUDING BLOB AND TOAD. SHE EVENTUALLY CAME TO BE GOVERNMENT LIASON FOR X-FACTOR, A JOB LATER TAKEN BY FORGE. I BELIEVE SHE WAS THE ONE WHO PERSUADED HAVOK TO LEAD THE NEW X-FACTOR, AFTER THE ORRIGINAL X-MEN REJOINED THEIR TEAM.
