Summary

In Episode 124 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning guest Patrick Sullivan swirl into space with the variable Amelia Voght! Created by Scott Lobdell and John Romita, Jr., Voght is one of the more memorable characters introduced to the X-Men franchise in the years immediately following Chris Claremont's departure.

She's a member of the Acolytes, a sect of religious zealots who worship Magneto as a messianic figure — but has a tragic past with Charles Xavier, the man she once loved. While she plays a significant role in many 90s storylines, since the destruction of Genosha in 2001 the character has mostly been off page. More recently, though, a memorable turn as part of the SWORD space program on Krakoa brought Amelia back to some prominence.

The CEREBRO character file on Voght begins at 1:56:32.

This is Part One of Two. The second half is coming soon! When it drops, Patreon subscribers will also get exclusive access to the combined Extended Aunt Amy Mix.
