BEFORE
- Lin Li was a teenaged mutant whose powers manifested after the Decimation spell was lifted. Her eco-pathic abilities put her in tune with animals, plants, the weather and all aspects of the natural world. [Wolverine and the X-Men (2nd series) #1]
- Curse was an even younger mutant, first seen after the founding of Krakoa. People do NOT like her. [Marauders (1st series) #1]
- Karl Lykos was a non-mutant variant who changed into Sauron the Pterodactyl Man. A long-time foe of the X-Men, he was a scientist who embraced his reptile side and shunned humanity as a whole. [X-Men (1st series) #60]
- The Armageddon Man was an early mutant who destroyed a small town when his powers manifested. He spent decades in suspended animation thanks to the government’s Alamagordo project, until King Bedlam and the Hellions tried to release him and blackmail the country. X-Force managed to defeat the Hellions and put Armageddon Man back in stasis. [X-Force (1st series) #88-90] In the Age of Krakoa, Sebastian Shaw reportedly called in favors to have Armageddon Man stored discreetly and humanely, away from Krakoa, to keep his DNA from being exploited by Mr. Sinister.
- The Jackal was a Spider-Man villain and cloning expert who got a hold of Mr. Sinister’s genetic archives. He used Sinister’s equipment to create a tri-brid clone containing genetic material from human (Gwen Stacy), mutant (Scott Summers) and animal (Adriana Soria, the Spider Queen). The Superior Spider-Man helped the X-Men bring down the rampaging giant spider, who was brought back to the Jean Grey School as a student. [Avenging Spider-Man #16]
CHRONOLOGY
Nature Girl was increasingly sensitive to the suffering of animals and the environment in general while living on Krakoa. When a sea turtle washed up on the shore, choking on a plastic bag, Nature Girl sought out the grocery store where the bag originated. The manager on duty showed no remorse for the turtle’s death, and so Lin Li impulsively stabbed him in the throat with a nearby pair of scissors. This murder escalated into a stand-off with the Las Vegas Police Department, 
who sent in their K-9 unit “Jaws” to deal with the perpetrator. Instead, Nature Girl shared her pain and rage with the canine, and they bonded over the loss. They escaped the LVPD together and Nature Girl renamed her companion Saoirse, Gaelic for “freedom.” [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #5]
With the murder of a human, Xavier sent Wolverine to bring Nature Girl for violating the laws of Krakoa. Lin Li befriended a bear and outmaneuvered Logan, stealing his bike to return to the Krakoan gates. She gathered her things to leave at the Akademos Habitat, where she met a young mutant named Curse. The girl was mischievous and mildly sadistic, and she decided to go along with Nature Girl for the fun of it. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #6]
Nature Girl, Curse and Saoirse traveled to the Dakotas to confront Cynadine Oil Company’s drilling project. Calling themselves “X-Men Green,” Lin Li’s pack began murdering the refinery workers moved towards the heart of the facility itself. Nature Girl began changing physically as her hair fell out and her scalp took on a blood red color. The refinery was protected by Black Mamba
of Serpent Solutions, but X-Men Green found they had reinforcements in the form of Sauron the Pterodactyl Man. His laboratory was destroyed by Cynadine’s run-off, and so he was willing to take up Nature Girl’s quest to punish the mammals. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #7-9]
Cynadine was furious about Nature Girl’s ongoing wreckage and served Emma Frost with a lawsuit for damages. This prompted Xavier to telepathically instruct Lin Li and Curse to return to Krakoa for punishment, but Curse’s mind was immune to his compulsion and she jinxed him into stopping. Wolverine finally caught up with Nature Girl’s trail at the refinery, and the situation escalated drastically. Nature Girl set the refinery to explode before coming back out to face Wolverine. She thanked Sauron for his help but told him to flee before getting captured. Logan finally brought down Lin Li and Curse, taking them into Krakoan custody. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #10-11]
Nature Girl and Curse were brought before the Quiet Council for trial. Lin Li pled guilty and refused to apologize or show remorse for her actions. She explained how her body rejected visiting Arakko on the colonized Mars, and she knew this planet was the only world she had. The Council intended to sentence her to the Pit, but Cypher and Krakoa spoke up and objected to their judgment. When the Council insisted, Doug acted as if Krakoa deferred to the verdict. Instead, he and the island secretly paroled X-Men Green behind the Council’s backs.
Krakoa the living island felt strongly in its support for Nature Girl’s cause and provided her with a bespoke cudgel, forged as a link to its power. Krakoa the nation, however, disavowed them and X-Men Green were exiled from the mutant homeland to act as they saw fit in the outside world. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #12]
After reuniting with Sauron, X-Men Green focused on eliminating animal poachers. By 
commandeering ships, Nature Girl’s team intercepted whale hunters and other corrupt fishing boats. After murdering the crews, they fed the bodies to Giganto, an Atlantean war-fish, to cover their tracks and leave behind only “ghost ships.”
When Namor caught wind of their actions, however, he took issue with their intrusion, despite their agreeable intentions. The King of the Seas sent X-Men Green to hunt animal poachers on land, far from his domain. They interrupted an operation by Black Panther and Wakanda to entrap poachers on a game reserve, and King T’Challa tried to reason with them. However, a dying animal passed on its accumulated rage to Nature Girl, and she broke her restraints to rip the throat out of one of the captives. Curse used a Krakoan gate seed to make them an exit, but they had to leave Saiorse behind. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #29-31]
Curse’s “luck” brought them randomly through the Krakoan gate to the lair of Hordeculture, mad 
botanists with secret access to the gate network. They had recovered Nature Girl’s Krakoan cudgel when it was lost at sea and returned it to her for their mutual benefit. Lin Li’s horns were broken during the fighting with Namor, but touching the cudgel restored them and transformed her further, adding scaled hands and goat-like hooves. It also gave Nature Girl access to the Krakoan gate network, which Cypher and Krakoa had denied her. With Hordeculture’s support and influence, the X-Men Green no longer cared about keeping a low profile. They brazenly attacked an oil refinery in the Arctic Circle, killing numerous civilians. Nature Girl broadcast video of “the X-Men” taking credit for the massacre that followed. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #32-33]
X-Men Green’s public attack on the refinery had consequences, and Cypher had to talk fast with the Quiet Council to explain their absence from the Pit. Hordeculture had a new suggestion for 
Nature Girl’s quest and pointed her towards a powerful mutant called Armageddon Man, who was imprisoned by the U.S. government. A walking engine for natural disasters, Nature Girl quickly saw a kindred spirit in Armageddon Man. During X-Men Green’s raid of the prison and research facility where he was being held, however, Sauron crossed a line. His dreams of dinosaur supremacy over the mammals led him to slaughter the mammals being used as test subjects in the lab, which turned Nature Girl against him. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #44-47]
In the fight between Nature Girl and Sauron that followed, Curse was distressed and suddenly claimed she was responsible for all Lin Li’s crimes. Curse could bend probability and reality with her jinxes, wishing events into existence. However, she needed to curse others or else the negative consequences of her ability would affect her. Lonely and marked as “evil” for her power, Curse saw Lin Li mourning the sea turtle and “wished” for a friend. She believed her jinx had stoked Nature Girl’s anger to make her more like Curse, and a fitting friend for her. Lin Li rejected Curse’s attempt to take credit for her crusade, and her anger provoked Armageddon Man’s power, causing incredible devastation around them. Curse tried to wish away her previous jinx on Nature Girl, but the harmful feedback she suffered ended up causing her death before she could revert Nature Girl back to “normal.” [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #48-49]
With Curse dead and Sauron a traitor, Nature Girl and Armageddon Man went recruiting to swell the ranks of X-Men Green. They found Gwen Warren, a cloned mutant-spider hybrid created by 
the Jackal who fell through the cracks at the Jean Grey School. Nature Girl’s vendetta against humanity only grew stronger, however – she even targeted a community who tried to dredge and restore a polluted lake but didn’t succeed to her strict standards. Spider-Girl quickly recognized that Nature Girl valued her anger more than causing genuine change for the better in the world. Gwen managed to talk Lin Li down from attacking the lake community, this time, and so they moved on to get revenge on Hordeculture for causing Curse’s death (in Lin Li’s eyes, at least). [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #68-70]
Nature Girl brought the all-new X-Men Green to Hordeculture’s Substratum base and unleashed chaos on the hags. She grew cocky as most of Hordeculture’s weapons were naturally based, and therefore more susceptible to her control over theirs. However, the scientists had planned for Nature Girl betraying them instead of delivering Armageddon Man as they asked. Instead, their base was lined with active sensors that made a bio-spectral recording of his powers in action during X-Men Green’s tantrum. Since they no longer needed the original, Hordeculture zapped Armageddon with a genus compound that devolved him back to normal human. He unexpectedly took a second zap of the formula when he leapt to Nature Girl’s defense and devolved even further to a lemur-like creature. Hordeculture teleported to victory, and Nature Girl barely got her team out through a Krakoan gate before Armageddon Man’s now-uncontrolled effect brought the roof in. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #71-73]
Nature Girl, Spider-Girl and the now-lemur Armageddon Man lay low in Santo Marco with psi-blockers and the genus formula pilfered from Hordeculture. Nature Girl wanted to disseminate the 
genus formula throughout humanity, devolving them back into a form less harmful to the ecosystem. In her eyes, she was meeting Gwen halfway – a bloodless coup instead of more violence imposed on the humans. Nature Girl’s old friend Eye Boy tracked them down with his selective spectral vision and added his concerns to Gwen’s. Still, Lin Li refused to hear objections to her plan or worries about how she had changed. When Trevor reached out to touch her shoulder, Nature Girl ripped Eye Boy’s arm from his body. That was the last straw for Spider-Girl. Gwen tried to keep Nature Girl monologuing while she turned off her psi-blockers, letting the X-Men find them. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #86-87]
Nature Girl began using her insects to deploy drops of the genus formula at Niagara Falls. When the X-Men arrived, Lin Li realized she had been betrayed. She struck out at Spider-Girl and Armageddon in her rage. Marvel Girl and Synch realized Nature Girl was psionically driven by the anger of every animal on the planet. The primal lightning Lin Li called down against her foes struck Armageddon, killing the devolved mutant. Gwen tried to get Nature Girl to react to this mistake, but she was too far gone. Lin Li rejected the “reasonable” nature of her previous mutant name and christened herself Armageddon Girl. She raged out of control after that, and even an intervention by Gaea, Mother Nature herself, failed to convince her to change her ways. Her plans were thwarted and so she escaped, ready to act alone in the future so that allies wouldn’t impede her crusade. [X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #88-91]
