Biography
Origin
The Demon Bear
Moonstar
With the Demon Bear destroyed and her family back, Dani continued her studies at Xavier’s and eventually joined X-Force. It was here that she crossed paths with a reality warping woman named Arcadia, who accidentally used her powers on Dani. Whilst the situation was sorted out quickly, the two women became strangely linked, sharing each other’s memories and powers. Whilst Dani struggled with a new powerset, Arcadia started to have vivid, terrifying dreams of a bear. Even Dani herself thought she saw the Demon Bear for a moment whilst in the park but dismissed the notion, as she simply wanted to forget the saga. Unfortunately for Dani, Arcadia’s incontrollable warping powers had created the Demon Bear in the middle of downtown San Francisco. Horrified by the appearance of her nemesis, Dani immediately attacked but quickly realized that something was amiss, as this version did not seem to have the same abilities and consciousness as the previous one. Both she and Arcadia were devoured by the bear but, once inside, they joined forces to try and destroy it. Finding the core of the Demon Bear, they discovered that it was made up of the energies that had been used to create it. By concentrating hard, the two women were able to reabsorb the energy back into themselves, causing the Demon Bear to dissipate once more. (X-Force v1 #99)
