[BIO: Zeppelin was taken in by Hank Mcoy and Charles Xavier when she was 13. A fiery and defiant child, she was always energetic. Learning from Hank (her father figure) studying with him, training with the X-Men etc. Yet when Professor Xavier shut down the school for gifted youngsters, in his drunken state he also kicked Zeppelin to the side. To which she lived in the school under Hank's watch, and even then she only slept there. Around her high school years, say about 17, she met Peter. Maximoff. And 90 percent of her time was spent with him. They became attached at the hip. Quicksilver and Necromancer, the duo who listened to RUSH and stole twinkies. But ever since they broke Magneto out of the Pentagon, she drifted even further from Charles. Eventually, she moved in with Peter after getting together at 19, and her relationship with Charles has been off and on.


Zeppelin faces plenty of conflicts in her regular life. Despite her already hectic life between being in the X Men and regular life, she's got another problem. Her two twin siblings. Baron and Vanessa Banks. Both were born of a short-term girlfriend their father had. The twins have an 11-year age difference with Zeppelin. When Charles and Hank took in Zeppelin, Charles and Hank had told Zeppelin he left the two twins with a close friend. What the two didn't expect was that close friend to hand off Baron and Vanessa to a mutant fighting ring for a handsome amount of money. Baron and Vanessa then were picked up by Stryker and thus were fueled by Stryker to be weapons with a burning hate for their older sister and the X Men. In their eyes, they had somewhere they finally belonged to. But once they kill the X Men, Stryker would have no real use for them anymore besides destroying other mutants. Their story inevitably comes to an end when Zeppelin and her two siblings come to a standstill. Stryker becomes infuriated when both Baron and Vanessa fail to kill Zeppelin in a short enough time, and thus Stryker sends an order for both Baron and Vanessa to be taken away and terminated.

Zeppelin desperately wants (wanted depending on time frame) to save her siblings. But in the end, both sides were to late at coming to terms on the battlefield. Because of her past and her family, she tends to have a lot of pent-up anger/anger issues, most prominent on the battle field. A lot of the time, Zeppelin turns to solitude in fear of committing to another family that will hurt her the same way.
