Biography

Origin

Barbara "Bobbi" Morse

West Coast Avengers

One of the western team's most fateful adventures had Kang the Conqueror scatter them across time. They encountered an Old West vigilante gang consisting of the Phantom Rider, Two-Gun Kid, and Rawhide Kid, and joined with them to fight a large criminal outfit headed by the evil Iron Mask. (West Coast Avengers v2 #18) The Phantom Rider came to believe that Mockingbird was a goddess, and since he was one with the spirits, that she should be his mate. After they had vanquished Iron Mask's gang, the WCA decided to try going back to the time of Kang's reformed self, the Pharaoh Rama-Tut, in order to try and get themselves home. Just before leaving, the Rider kidnapped Mockingbird and rode away. (West Coast Avengers v2 #19) With the rest of the WCA in ancient Egypt, Mockingbird was given an Indian love potion and temporarily forgot her old life and fell in love with the Phantom Rider, who revealed his secret identity as Lincoln Slade. However, Two-Gun and Rawhide were on his trail, determined to recover Barbara. They found the two, but Mockingbird, under the influence of the potion, fought them alongside Lincoln, and she and the Rider escaped. (West Coast Avengers v2 #20) However, as time passed Mockingbird began to slowly fall out of the influence of the potion, and when Two-Gun showed up in a makeshift Hawkeye outfit to jog her memory, she finally broke free from Lincoln's influence. She implied that Lincoln had raped her — having had intercourse with her while she was drugged — and rode off to kill the Phantom Rider. Two-Gun and Rawhide were alarmed, knowing the good the Rider had once done and not wishing to kill him, only to see him brought to justice. Mockingbird told them the fight was hers alone, and Two-Gun reluctantly held Rawhide back from following her. (West Coast Avengers v2 #22) Mockingbird confronted the Phantom Rider on a mountain peak he held sacred and in the fight that followed, Lincoln Slade fell from a cliff. He managed to grip the edge of the cliff with his fingers, but in the slickness of the rain that was coming down at the time, he was losing his grip. Mockingbird stood and watched him fall, doing nothing to save him. There was some justice in this, but it also broke the Avengers' code of no killing. (West Coast Avengers v2 #23)

Secret Invasion

In reality, she was shown as being one of the many people that were abducted by the Skrulls and replaced with an infiltrator. (Secret Invasion v1 #8)

She remained unconscious in bed until the New Avengers shutdown Superia's operations where they recovered the mysterious formula she was studying. Nick Fury revealed that this was a variation of the Super-Soldier Serum mixed with the Infinity Formula but was untested though had the potential of saving Bobbi's life. Hawkeye insisted on using it on Bobbi leading to her injuries being healed and her waking from her coma. (New Avengers v2 #13)
