==History==
Goblyn and her sister, [[Pathway|Laura]] happened to be mutants. Unfourtanely for them their father, [[Dean Darby|Darby]]; who was a leading member of a Canadian organization opposed to superhuman mutants. As their mother, [[Dean Susan|Susan]] went through a parental screening revealing she was carrying two girls, and one was detected as a mutant with a non-human form. However, Pathway was also a mutant but the screens didn?t register her. The Deans agreed to undergo an experimental procedure, where the unborn twin would be bombarded with radiation that would kill her, while sparing the other fetus. During the procedure Laura still in her fetus sensed the danger for her sister and moved to intercept the radiation targeted at Goblyn. The Doctor realizing what was happening halted the experiment. Six months later, Laura was born, but there was no sign of what happened to the other twin. In reality Laura unconsciously activated her own mutant power to transport her sister to safety within another dimension, which she named [[Liveworld]]. She also called Earth, [[Deadworld]] as all they know is suffering here.

Laura was autistic in her adolescence and became a patient of the [[New Life Clinic]], which at the time was operated by [[Scramble|Lionel Jeffries]]. Lionel forced Laura to use her powers to release her sister back onto Earth. Whenever Goblyn came to Earth, Laura took her place in Liveworld. When Laura returned to Earth, Goblyn would be once again sent back to Liveworld. Later, [[Bedlam]] made Goblyn a member of his [[Derangers]] after Lionel was killed and put his Derangers against members of [[Alpha Flight]]. The battle cost all but Goblyn and Laura their lives.

It was [[Persuasion|Purple Girl]], who at the time was part of [[Beta Flight]] befriended both Laura and Goblyn and both were inducted into Beta Flight as well. Later, while Laura was in Liveworld, she was captured by the [[Dreamqueen]] the dimension?s ruler. Alpha Flight including Goblyn traveled to Liveworld, resuced Laura and battled the Dreamqueen, who then transported herself and all of them to Earth, which she intended to conquer. Hence, now Laura and Goblyn co-exist on Earth for the first time. During the battle, former Alpha Flight member [[Puck I|Puck]] seized the Dreamqueen, who stood between a dimensional portal between Earth and Liveworld. Realizing that she herself had mutant powers to open and close interdimensional portals, closed the portal trapping Dreamqueen within her own dimension

Laura and Goblyn both served on Beta Flight for a time assisting Alpha Flight on missions. Laura, Goblyn and Purple Girl left the team to try to lead a normal life, but were summoned by [[Talisman]] in a quest to rescue [[Northstar]] in [[Asgard]]. They succeeded and were also summoned to aid in the battle against [[Llan]]. After the completion of this mission, she became a member of Beta Flight again under a re-structured Department H. She struck a close friendship with most members, especially [[Persuasion]], [[Pathway]] and [[Witchfire]]. In a supposed training team, she found herself in battle on a number of occasions. During this time, she fought against villians such as [[Firebug]], the [[Jackal II|Jackal]], [[Omega Flight]], the [[Master]] and the [[Hardliners]]. Following the [[Master|Joshua Lord]] incident and the disbanding of Department H, nothing is known of Goblyn's activities, or if she is one of the mutants that still has her powers.
