* TheCaptain: For a while in the 2000s, he served as the captain of the ''Starjammer'', leading the crew in a rebellion against his brother Vulcan after he became Shi'ar Emperor. He was exceptionally good at it, with [[FourStarBadass Major-General]] [[TheStrategist Ka'ardum]], Lilandra's chosen general, being genuinely impressed on his tactical acumen and surprised that Earth can spare someone with his talents. Alex just dismisses it as him being there to take down Vulcan and says that his father and older brother are the leaders, not him.



* DependingOnTheWriter: Havok's another one of those annoying Marvel characters whose basic personality traits are more or less a weathervane shifting to the needs of whoever the writer is that day. Sometimes he's honestly a better and more human leader than his brother (Chuck Austen's run and the Starjammers era), sometimes he's a weak-willed lackey content to serve as deputy leader (as a Genoshan, with Madelyne in ''Inferno'', X-Factor Alex at points) and sometimes he's a barely-controlled psycho with a serious mad-on about his brother (Brotherhood Alex, also X-Factor Alex at points).

The most consistent characterisation is that he's a very good leader, but he's got a lot of self-doubt relating to issues with/being overshadowed by his brother, so he tends to retreat from leadership unless circumstances force it upon him.



** His leadership skills qualify as this, since they tend to drop in and out. This is partly justified due to Alex's chronic lack of self-confidence, which itself comes from being in the shadow of his older brother, one of the finest generals in the Marvel Universe.

* TheQuisling: An uncharitable but not altogether inaccurate summation of Havok, as he is much more prone to trusting in the government and government regimes than Cyclops and has worked with several (X-Factor under Valerie Cooper, the Avengers Unity Squad under Captain America, etc).

Both characters were exceedingly uncomfortable with the situation, and Wolfsbane was eventually separated from this enslavement by the nominal villainess Haven.
* TangledFamilyTree: His introduction as a character is arguably the snowball that started the Summers family off into becoming the ur-example of this trope.
* TheUnfavorite: In contrast to Captain America above who prefers Alex to Scott, perennial Summers stalker Mr. Sinister much prefers Cyke and always treats Havok with barely-concealed disdain. Even during the Hickman era when he recruited Havok to his mutant team, it mostly just seemed to be an excuse for Sinny to have him on hand as a personal ButtMonkey.

A young woman ->''I often find a terrifying comfort in the possibility of evanescing. I never asked to exist. Or to be like this. This clumsy and fumbling congregation of flaws. I think there's something wrong with magnetic control powers me. I can still feel an itch in my head, like Saturnyne's not quite done with me yet... Sometimes I'm able to convince myself that there's no such thing as kindness in this world. No such thing as courage. I tell myself there's only redemption and penitence. There is only reticence and pain. I am -- thankfully -- often wrong on such things.''
-->-- '''Lorna Dane''', ''[[ComicBook/XFactor2020 X-Factor]]'' #4

Lorna Dane, better known as Polaris, is a Creator/MarvelComics character created by Arnold Drake and Creator/JimSteranko.

One of
the second daughter of Magneto. Although conflicted, she initially wants first new additions to side the X-Men after their founding lineup was established, Polaris has a long-rooted history with the villain until Iceman, who was romantically interested in her, provided apparently phony evidence team -- most prominently, that she's the only biological child [[note]]since the 2014 retcon involving siblings ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} and ComicBook/ScarletWitch[[/note]] of ComicBook/{{Magneto}}. Initially contesting his claim to her parentage, it was eventually confirmed to be true. Not surprising, since they both share the ''exact'' same [[MagnetismManipulation skillset]].

She's also known for her romantic relationships with various X-Men. After a brief flirtation with ComicBook/{{Iceman}} ([[ComingOutStory before he came out]]), she began a relationship with Alex Summers / Havok, the younger brother of stalwart X-Man ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}. They've spent the majority of their shared publication history in a state of "WillTheyOrWontThey" limbo, and almost got married at one point. Let's just say getting left at the altar didn't do wonders for her psyche.

Speaking of which,
Lorna's real parents were dead. Her powers along struggles with the eventual confirmation mental health are another prominent aspect of her parentage characterization. While it's never been spelled out as being anything specific, many have interpreted her {{Yandere}}-ish tendencies and depressive states as UsefulNotes/BipolarDisorder. She was even manipulated into becoming the supervillain Malice for a few years, and once served as Pestilence in ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}'s Horsemen. What can we say -- [[ComicBook/HouseOfM it seems to run in the family]].

As a long-running character in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, Polaris has appeared in various other media since being introduced. She showed up in a few episodes of ''WesternAnimation/XMen: The Animated Series'', as well as ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009''. In live-action, Polaris features
as a daughter regular on Creator/{{FOX}}'s ''Series/TheGifted'', portrayed there by Emma Dumont. This version of Magneto have led the character emphasized Lorna's issues with mental illness, as well as make reference to her to be slightly mentally unstable. That, and the long string of horrific events that just keep happening to her.familiar parentage.

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: One of the side-effects of her brief run as Pestilence is she gained an immunity to being drugged. While a prisoner of Vulcan, his people kept trying to keep her unconscious, only for her immune system to fight off the drugs with increasing speed, at which point Lorna would get loose and start breaking things.

* BroughtDownToNormal: She lost her powers during Decimation by her half-sister, but soon got them back through Apocalypse repowered her using Celestial technology. It's [[ShrugOfGod not really known]] whether her X-Gene has been reactivated or it's simply the technology.
* CainAndAbel: With Zaladane, who ''might'' be her sister. "Might", because we've only got Zaladane's word for it, and nothing else has ever backed it up (Zaladane's protracted case of dead doesn't help).
* ClingyJealousGirl: Due in part to the "severe trauma" thing, she got very protective of Havok during Chuck Austen's X-Men run. Finding Annie standing over him, Lorna threatened her with several scalpels.
* CoolAunt: For her niece, [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zVgjfvfAOok/ThUSFBov7oI/AAAAAAAADnY/yjc4n0R8m5w/s1600/auntie.JPG Luna Maximoff]] (Quicksilver's daughter). [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/a16db42e7624dc1d7b6dac8e1c664472/tumblr_mi84k4um6S1ri9kvro1_1280.png She even allows the little girl to sit on her lap]].
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green eyes, green hair. Not to mention she usually wears green lipstick and often wears a green costume.
* DaddysGirl: DependingOnTheWriter, but of Magneto's kids, she's the one closest to him (though given the current retcon, she's currently the only one of his kids still alive).
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially when written by Peter David (in fairness, ''everyone'' written by Peter David is a snarker).
* DemonicPossession: Gets possessed by psychic entities a lot, and often for prolonged periods (years of publication, in one case).
* {{Depower}}: Zaladane once stole her powers. Lorna got them back after Magneto killed her.
* DiscardAndDraw: For a time, Lorna's magnetic powers were replaced by the ability to absorb negative emotions to increase her strength, endurance, height and mass. She regained her magnetism powers and then lost them again during M-Day. They were eventually restored.
* DrowningMySorrows: After the end of the "Hell on Earth" war and X-Factor being split up, Polaris is shown in a bar getting drunk. When the bartender tries to cut her off, she threatens to destroy the bar. This results in the police and Quicksilver getting involved and a brief fight where she actually pulls a gun on Quicksilver before she is subdued. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone She is horrified when she sobers up the next morning and realizes the magnitude of what she almost did]].
* EmotionEater: For a time she could feed on negative emotions to increase her physical abilities.
* ExtraOreDinary: Her most common method of using her powers is to manipulate metal.
* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: During the time they were siblings (2002 to 2015), she and Wanda didn't exactly interact much (though in fairness, Wanda spent 2005 to 2012 being on a bus, and Lorna was in space between 2007 and 2011), something Lorna even notes when Wanda suddenly shows up to hang out with her in ''All-New X-Factor''.
* FullFrontalAssault: During Grant Morrison's ''New X-Men'', she was found by the X-Men at ground zero following the total annihilation of Genosha completely naked and insanely raving about final electromagnetic messages sent by Magneto before violently lashing out at the team.
* FunWithAcronyms: Her middle name is "Sally", which means that her initials spell out [=LSD=], this has not gone unnoticed.
-->'''Gambit''': Your initials are [=LSD=]?
-->'''Polaris''': Explains a lot, doesn't it?
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Not often, but they have been known to glow when she's pissed.
* IBelieveICanFly: With electromagnetism.
* IJustWantToBeNormal
* ILetGwenStacyDie: She blames herself for Rockslide’s death as he died saving her, especially since his death in Otherworld forever corrupted his resurrection.
* LadyOfWar
* LeotardOfPower: Most of her outfits include some form of leotard with a cape, as well as a tiara.
* LoveTriangle: In the 60s, there was one between her, Iceman and Havok. It returned in the 00s, with the temporary inclusion of Nurse Annie.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Whether Magneto actually was her father was a long-running plot point for decades after her introduction. The early 00s eventually confirmed that she was.
* MagnetismManipulation: Lorna can sense and control magnetism, create magnetic energy pulses and magnetic force fields, and manipulate the Earth's magnetic field in order to fly.
* MostCommonSuperPower: It's very easy to see how she could be the Scarlet Witch's sister.
* NoSell: An alternate Malice tried possessing her during ''Blue''. Lorna was soon able to fight her off, but not before Malice killed several people.
* PoisonousPerson: During her period of time as Pestilence in Apocalypse's Four Horsemen.
* PowerLossDepression: Polaris was among the Mutants who lost their powers during M-Day. Issue #177 of X-Men Volume 2 opens with her lamenting how empty and lifeless she feels without her powers. For a time, she tries to keep her depowerment a secret before revealing what happened to her and leaving the team.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Some of her outfits over the years have included purple, and she's every bit as dangerous as her father.
* SelectiveMagnetism: As with her father, writers can never decide if her powers are derived from her physically or psionically.
* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Accidentally killed her mother and the man she considered her father at the age of 3, when her powers manifested whilst they were all flying a plane when she got upset due to a loud fight they were having over her mother's adultery.]]
* ShockAndAwe: Some writers actually have her using electricity, which is indeed part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
* TookALevelInBadass: After being repowered by Apocalypse, she got a significant power boost. She even managed to severely hurt Vulcan, who until that point had been an InvincibleVillain.
* TookALevelInJerkass: During Chuck Austen's run, though she did have the justification of being at ground zero for the total annihilation of Genosha, which drove her insane. And again during ''All-New ComicBook/XFactor'', after finding out the truth about her mother's death, mixed with experiencing hell on Earth.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Common for most X-Men, but Lorna had a very nasty one. [[spoiler:When she was three years old, her powers activated when she saw her mother and her mother's husband arguing about Lorna's real father and her mother's adultery. Her powers activated and took down the plane they were on. Magneto then showed up to rescue her, and had Mastermind use his PsychicPowers to block the memories of what really happened, which has been suggested as the root cause of her...less than solid mental health.]]
* UnstablePoweredWoman: She was in Genosha the day that Cassandra Nova launched a genocidal attack that killed nearly every mutant in the nation. This was the original start of her personality becoming unhinged. Later, when her long-time LoveInterest Havok decided to leave her at the wedding altar to be with a woman whom he just met, she went completely off the deep end, adopted a costume similar to her father ComicBook/{{Magneto}} and attempted to murder everyone there.
* WellDoneSonGuy: The 2019 ''X-Factor'' claims as such, despite it not being a tremendous part of Lorna's personality beforehand.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Alex, of course. She had a mental breakdown after Alex left her at the altar. After 2012, they broke up in part because of Lorna's sudden spike in bad-temperedness.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Like dear old dad, excessive use of her powers has made her a little nuts in the past.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds
* {{Yandere}}: When she found out that her boyfriend was dating with Nurse Annie, she was ''not very happy'' (In fairness to Lorna, she was suffering from horrific trauma, and Alex dumped her right at the altar).
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or green, in her case. It's connected to her powers, first activating when she first used her powers.

'''Havok''' is a Marvel character created by Arnold Drake and Don Heck.

[[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}

Alex likes the X-Men, but resents Scott's position, so is usually a reserve member.

Polaris, Polaris]], although the two eventually settled on being friends. Had his own series for several years, ''Mutant X'', which involved him being trapped in a parallel world.

Alex was selected by Captain America ComicBook/CaptainAmerica to lead the [[ComicBook/UncannyAvengers Unity Squad, Squad]], a team of Avengers which included mutants, in the aftermath of ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' in a position he bid to improve relations between humanity and mutants. He eventually resigned after having his personality temporarily inverted.

inverted during ''ComicBook/{{AXIS}}''. Alex rejoined his brother when most of the X-Men were thought dead and sacrificed his life buying Scott time to escape an army of O.N.E. Sentinels.

With the founding of the mutant nation of Krakoa, Alex was resurrected by the Five and joined his brother Scott in living at the Summer House in the Blue Area of the moon alongside the rest of the Summer's family, including his revived brother Vulcan. However, the traumas of the past several years have left Alex mentally unstable and a danger to others, resulting in him being placed on Mr. Sinister's ComicBook/{{Hellions}}, ''ComicBook/{{Hellions}}'', a team of mutants whose destructive or anti-social tendencies are being channeled for the good of Krakoa.




[[ComicBook/HavokMarvelComics See Here]]

to:

\n[[ComicBook/HavokMarvelComics See Here]]\n* AbortedArc: His romance with Janet van Dyne and his kidnapping of her after his inversion is never brought up after ''AXIS''.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Actually, Adventurer Geologist.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Mentions that he feels this way about his elder brother, Scott.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: His temper occasionally makes him come across as whiny and irrational (especially when he's fighting against his brother), something both Beast and Iceman have called him out on.
* BashBrothers: Does this with his actual older brother, Scott, a few times after the pair are reunited.
* BattleCouple: Originally with Polaris, and then with Janet van Dyne during his tenure on the Avengers.
* BettyAndVeronica: Veronica for Polaris.
* BigBadDuumvirate: During his inverted personality phase in ''ComicBook/XMenBlue'' he was one of the conspirators plotting to unleash Mothervine on Earth to make millions of new mutants and use them to take over the world.
* BigGood: In ComicBook/MutantX, Alex is the hero of the story and eventually becomes this, saving the entire universe in issue #32.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He falls victim to this trope. ''A lot.'' The most severe case was when his personality was inverted during ''AXIS'' and he was one of the few individuals who was not cured by the end of the event, leaving his evil side in charge.
* BackFromTheDead: After being killed by Robert Callahan in order to save his brother he was resurrected by the five on Krakoa.
** He was killed again by ComicBook/MisterSinister after a ComicBook/{{Hellions}} mission to Otherworld went awry and was just as quickly resurrected again
* ButtMonkey: Even by Summers family standards, he never seems to catch a break.
* CainAndAbel:
** Depends on the circumstances, though. Usually he and Cyclops get on well enough, but they have off days.
** Also with Vulcan. Vulcan is normally immune to Havok and Cyclops's energy blasts, but neither of them are immune to Vulcan's energy blasts.
*** Unless he gets thrown into a sun. Then he can smack Vulcan around like there's no tomorrow, indicating it's a power thing.
* TheCaptain: For a while in the 2000s, he served as the captain of the ''Starjammer'', leading the crew in a rebellion against his brother Vulcan after he became Shi'ar Emperor.
* EnemyWithin: Actually two different occasions.
** When he returned from the ComicBook/MutantX universe his counterpart from that world came with him and hijacked his body. He was eventually taken care of by [[ComicBook/{{Exiles}} The Time Broker]].
** While Emma Frost managed to restore his original personality as the dominant one over his inverted evil side, that personality still exists within Alex and can resurface in moments of extreme anger or danger.
* EnergyAbsorption: Alex an absorb ambient cosmic energy from the atmosphere and redirect it. For many years, he had to wear a special suit to help him contain this energy, but he has since learned how to control it.
* EnergyRingAttack: He provides the trope image. Havok can absorb ambient cosmic radiation and release it in the form of plasma beams with a tell-tale concentric circle pattern. These waves will emanate from his body in all directions unless he purposefully tries to channel them in a single direction, usually along the length of his arms.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: During the 'Inferno' storyline when he became the Goblin Prince to Madelyne Pryor (although the switch in question is really just his old suit reduced [[ShirtlessScene to tatters]] to match Madelyne's [[MsFanservice skimpy outfit]]).
* {{Flight}}: Using the energy he fires as energy bolts, he can flight at around the speed of sound.
* HandBlast: Havok can produce blasts of superheated plasma from his hands that are devastatingly powerful.
* HappilyMarried: Averted. Though it is implied that alternate!Havok and Maddie Summers are this, Alex does not find himself attracted to her at all, despite them technically being married and him having feelings for the Maddy of his Earth.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He had little to no interest in X-Men or mutant duties, preferring to just live a normal life. [[Podcast/JayAndMilesXPlainTheXMen Jay and Miles]] describe him joining mutant teams as Alex [[ResignedToTheCall ''giving up'']].
* TheLeader: Of x-Factor then Six and, later, of the heroes of Mutant X in general. He later becomes the leader of the Avengers Unity Division. Despite all these times, ComicBook/KittyPryde surmises that Alex is not fit for this position in ComicBook/AstonishingXMen2017.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Inherited command of the spacefaring vessel the ''Starjammer'' from his father Corsair, and led his father's old crew in a long-running battle against the forces of the corrupt Shi'ar Emperor Vulcan, just as his father had battled Emperor D'Ken before him.
* TheLoad: His penchant for getting kidnapped, brainwashed, and needing to be rescued has resulted in him feeling like Cyclops' load.
* LongLostSibling
* MissedTheCall: In regards to not being the leader of the X-Men.
** After ''Comicbook/AvengersVsXMen'', he's taken over as chief representative of the mutant race, although many of his fellow mutants and X-Men feel he isn't worthy of the position and disagree with him on a lot of issues. After his personality was inverted he resigned from the Avengers and joined Cyclops' mutant faction.
* NaiveNewcomer: As a newcomer to Earth-1298, Havok starts the series confused about the various differences between that universe and his own, though he quickly catches on.
* PapaWolf: Though at first he is weirded out by the idea of having a son in Mutant X, Alex later becomes extremely protective of Scotty Summers and even allows the boy to call him "dad."
* PowerIncontinence: The most obvious point of similarity with [[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} his brother]].
* ThePoweroftheSun: What fuels his plasma blasts.
* PragmaticHero: Is far more likely to kill than most of his teammates, particularly after he suffers a DespairEventHorizon.
* ReplacementGoldfish: For his adoptive parents' recently-dead son.
* TangledFamilyTree
* TookALevelInDumbass: When we first met Alex, he was graduating college with a degree in geophysics and he had a good head on his shoulders. His judgement and decision making skills has declined heavily since then with his geophysics knowledge rarely if ever getting mentioned, maybe all that brainwashing took a toll on him.
* TwoFaced: While stopping Kang the Conqueror from absorbing the power of a Celestial, the left side of Alex's face was badly burned and left scarred. It remained that way for several years until Elixir healed him after his inversion to an evil personality was undone in hopes of a fresh start.
* WhatTheHellHero: A major factor in his CainAndAbel dynamic with his brother is due to how Scott acts some times.
** He betrayed Scott for Madelyne Pryor because he was disgusted at how he treated her.
