Belladonna

Belladonna is a character from Marvel Comics.

Biography
Bella Donna Boudreaux first met Gambit while the two were children, and they quickly became friends. Unbeknownst to them both, they came from rival guilds (those of assassins and thieves, respectively). As they grew up and the rivalry between the guilds increased, their fathers arranged for a marriage between the two in the hopes that it would unite the guilds. Immediately after the wedding, Belladonna's brother Julien lashed out in jealousy and challenged Gambit to a fight to the death. Gambit won and, as a punishment, was exiled from New Orleans. Instead of taking Belladonna with him, he abandoned her.

Origin
Belladonna is a mutant, which is a human who exhibits a genetic mutation, called the X-Gene, on the 23rd chromosome. The activation of this X-Gene leads to the production of an unspecified protein which produces chemical signals that induces mutations in other genes. Due to the nature of this specific mutation, mutants are capable of manifesting any type of abnormal powers or abilities.
