Fictional character biography
When the X-Man Havok was found in a comatose state, she took care of and fell in love with him. When the X-Men discovered he was still alive (as he was previously assumed dead), they took him to the mansion and Annie and her son moved in with them. While Annie is a normal human, her son, Carter Ghazikhanian, is a mutant. Annie had some anti-mutant prejudices, but she tried getting over them. She developed a personal friendship with the X-Man Northstar, and kept secret his feelings for Iceman. When Havok was awakened from his coma he pursued a relationship with Annie, despite being engaged to Polaris. Havok later left Polaris at the wedding altar, further damaging the woman's already-shaky mental state. He and Annie had a romantic relationship (despite her occasional flirts with Iceman) until she left the mansion, afraid the constant danger was unsafe for her son. Havok and Annie's relationship was apparently based on that of Chuck Austen's with his own wife. He often said he saw much of himself in Havok, and that Annie was based on his wife, leading to accusations of Annie being a Mary Sue. Perhaps this is the reason the couple went down so badly with fans, breaking up almost as soon as it had begun.
