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.
