Callisto was the bodyguard to Moira MacTaggert, the Reichsminister of genetics, on an Earth where the Nazis had won World War Two. During a train journey, she and MacTaggert had their places exchanged with the Callisto and Moira MacTaggert of Earth-616 due to a dimensional portal created by Widget.[1] The two women were taken into custody by WHO, where they rankled against their treatment. The Earth-597 version of Excalibur, Lightning Force were sent to rescue Callisto and Moira MacTaggert, and during the rescue attempt, Callisto overpowered and took hostage WHO's leader Brigadier Alysande Stuart, while Excalibur were apparently subdued by the Lightning Force. Excalibur turned the tables on their Nazi counterparts, however, Callisto was defeated by Meggan.[2] Callisto, MacTaggert and Lightning Force were eventually returned to their own Earth, as it was thought by the authorities that they couldn't be tried for their crimes on another Earth. As they were returned to their own Earth, MacTaggert tried to sabotage the portal by throwing a grenade.

When Callisto was young and beautiful, her life seemed so perfect, so enviable. But catastrophe struck her, as she learned that living as a mutant would not be easy. She was blinded in the right eye and was left horribly disfigured. Forced to hold up a mirror to her new reality, Callisto realized that society had little use for a mutant, especially one who was beautiful no more. Scared and alone, she rebelled against society and decided to go underground where it was safe and where she could escape prying, peering eyes. She quickly made a huge abandoned military tunnel called "the Alley" built underneath Manhattan in the 1950s her home. With help from the mutant-detecting Caliban, the devoted Sunder, and the treacherous Masque, she organized a community of mutant outcasts called the Morlocks who lived in the Alley. (Unknown to Callisto, the Morlocks' existance was orchestrated by the extradimensional sadist called the Dark Beast, a twisted alternate version of Hank McCoy.) In recent years, Callisto, apparently driven to irrationality by her responsibilities, abducted the winged Angel as a consort. Angel's X-Men teammates invaded the Alley but were captured as well. The team's leader, Storm, challenged Callisto to trial by combat, almost killing her and winning the mantle of Morlock leader.[4] Over time, the ties between the X-Men and the Morlocks grew closer, the two teams constantly confronted and helped each other.[5] Callisto's rivalry with Storm was changed as they teamed up to fight against Kulan Gath. Initially hating Storm, Callisto, de facto leader in Storm’s absence, grew to respect Ororo and the X-Men.[6] The Morlocks and the X-Men worked out an even higher sense of mutual respect when the X-Men founder, Professor X, had his life saved by Callisto after a beating by anti-mutant protesters.
