Biography

Sylvie Lushton was a female human born in the modern age where she had lived in Broxton, Oklahoma who lived in an all-American town. (Avengers Academy v1 #35) It was known that Loki was responsible for giving her power and making Sylvie believe she was an Asgardian. (Dark Reign: Young Avengers v1 #4) According to her, she simply went to sleep one night and the next day she found herself transformed with having magical abilities. She came to move to New York City with the goal of joining the rank of the Avengers. As part of her new superpowered identity, she began to refer to herself as the Enchantress. (Dark Reign: Young Avengers v1 #3)

When the original Young Avengers came across this new team, it was Sylvie who stopped the fighting. Desperately wanting to be a hero and join the Young Avengers, she used her magic to mentally manipulate her teammates into 'trying out' for the Young Avengers. (Dark Reign: Young Avengers v1 #2) Sylvie was paired with Wiccan and Hulkling during her audition, and she shared the truth about her origins with them. (Dark Reign: Young Avengers v1 #3) In the end, Sylvie was the only individual admitted to the Young Avengers, but she was quickly dismissed. (Dark Reign: Young Avengers v1 #4) After being shunned by the Young Avengers, Sylvie immediately returned to the Young Masters who joined with Norman Osborn and his Avengers to battle the Young Avengers. Ultimately, Sylvie teleported her teammates away from the fray and into hiding. (Dark Reign: Young Avengers v1 #5)

Later on, Sylvie, Coat of Arms, and Big Zero were recruited by Jeremy Briggs to his humanitarian foundation, Briggs Chemical LLC. (Avengers Academy v1 #34) Although Sylvie seemed to genuinely want to make the world a better place, Coat of Arms and Big Zero had not abandoned their violent and homicidal tendencies. (Avengers Academy v1 #35) Sylvie helped subdue the Avengers Academy during Jeremy's scheme to de-power the world, but ultimately she left when she realized she was being manipulated by Briggs. (Avengers Academy v1 #37)

The 'Enchantress' was hired by Caroline le Fay alongside a team of villains to find the Pandemonium Axles and awake them through magic as well as technology. This brought them into conflict with the Defenders and they were ultimately overwhelmed leading to their defeat at the hands of the superheroes. (Fearless Defenders v1 #9)

Sylvie along with the other Young Masters came to reside on Bagalia where they were part of the Shadow Council's Masters of Evil. During this time, she and her comrades were operating from the Constrictor's Snakepit. (Avengers Undercover v1 #6)

She then came to join the ranks of the Hood's version of the Illuminati where she claimed to be the original Amora the Enchantress. (Illuminati v1 #5)

Whilst in Greenwich Village, she lamented at her failure when she was confronted by the real Enchantress who was angered at Amora using her name. She banished Sylvie to the harshest of the Ten Realms that if she survived her experience then the two could be 'friends' but Amora did not believe Lushton would survive. (Illuminati v1 #7)

All Sylvie ever wanted was to prove that she was more than a dumb girl from Broxton and felt that she could do better with her believing she was owed this by life. Lushton had taken the name of the Enchantress thinking it would make others take her seriously. (Illuminati v1 #7) She had a tendency to try and speak like an Asgardian though some accused her of it sounding like she had a lisp.
