So Jay, what's the deal with that flight attendant lady who shows up in the Colossus one shot?

She's mislocked in disguise.

Well, I mean, she's a robot mislocked in disguise, but same basic principle.

No, I mean, have we seen that lady before? I mean, she and Piotr seem awfully familiar.

Well, yes and no.

How so?

Okay, so the woman the mislock robot is pretending to be is Elizabeth Wilford,

who was a friend of Amanda Seftons.

Elizabeth first appeared in 1976 in X-Men number 98,

and went out a double date with Colossus alongside Amanda and Nightcrawler, some 20 issues later.

Oh, nice. How to go?

Not great. They were all kidnapped by Arcade.

Oh, which is why Arcade knows to have mislock impersonate Elizabeth?

Well, yes, except.

Except.

In X-Men 98, Elizabeth's first name is spelled Elizabeth with an S,

and in the Colossus one shot, it's spelled Elizabeth with a Z.

I'm not really seeing the problem. I mean, typos and spelling errors happen.

That doesn't mean it's a different character.

And normally, I would absolutely agree with you.

But the thing is, there is actually another character in the Marvel universe named Elizabeth

Wilford, who spells her first name with a Z.
