Fictional character biography
Dictator
Opul Lun Sat-Yr-9 was a dictator who ruled Earth-794 with her lover Kaptain Briton. When he fled from her, traveling to Earth-616 where he knew he had an identical looking counterpart, Earth-616's Captain Britain, she sent armored troops to retrieve him. They mistakenly attacked Captain Britain twice, but were repeled on each occasion, the first time by Britain and his ally Meggan, the second by Britain's sister Betsy. Sat-Yr-9 next hired the interdimensional mercenary group, the Technet, but Briton swapped places with Britain, and the Technet took the wrong man back to Earth-794. Britain later convinced the Technet of their error, but Sat-Yr-9 tried to stop them departing with him; the Technet slaughtered her soldiers, and the already psychotic Sat-Yr-9 became completely unhinged. After they departed, she started slaughtering her subjects, leading to her overthrowal and imprisonment when Roma sent Captain UK on a mission to capture her. While Britain was on Earth-794, Briton was killed by Betsy when he tried to rape her.
Courtney Ross
Escaping to Earth-616 through a dimension gateway that had accidentally been opened by an unassuming civilian on Earth-616, Sat-Yr-9 killed her alternate reality counterpart, a businesswoman named Courtney Ross, and took her place. Coincidentally, Ross was Captain Britain's ex-girlfriend. As Ross, she tried to create a rift between Captain Britain and his current girlfriend Meggan. Sat-Yr-9 also knew about Jamie Braddock's reality warping powers before anyone else including himself did (since she presumably knew about the reality warping powers of Jamie's alternate reality counterpart in her timeline of origin) and arranged things so that Jamie's powers would be unlocked, at the expense of driving him insane. She had intended to use Jamie and his great powers as a living weapon against difficult adversaries. She used Jamie's powers to change her right-hand man, Nigel Frobisher, into a duplicate of the London Crime Vixen, while changing Vixen herself into a fox. With Frobisher as Vixen, Sat-Yr-9 took over the Vixen's crime syndicate. With her powerbase built, she attacked Excalibur, revealing her true identity to them. She tried to enslave Captain Britain, against Frobisher's advice. Frobisher rebelled and was killed by her. Excalibur managed to defeat Jamie, and Sat-Yr-9 and her troops were forced to flee. Captain Britain swore to avenge Courtney's death, but was unable to track Sat-Yr-9 down.
Hellfire
As of late, she has joined the Hellfire Club as its White Queen, with Viper, a former HYDRA assassin, as her self-proclaimed "White Princess" and bodyguard. She has been seen publicly appearing as Courtney Ross again, trying to convince Captain Britain that she somehow is the real Courtney Ross. So far Captain Britain remains unconvinced, but hasn't moved against her.
Notes
- Along with Courtney Ross, Sat-Yr-9 has another alternate reality counterpart; Saturnyne, the Omniversal Majestrix of Otherworld and a servant of Roma.
- An alternate version of Sat-Yr-9 appears in Paradise X: Heralds, where she displays the power to control men through pheromones. The regular Sat-Yr-9 never displayed this ability. This version is called Saturnyne, despite her appearance being that of Sat-Yr-9.
- Sat-Yr-9 can be distinguished visually from her alternate reality counterparts by a tattoo of her sylized knife emblem on her right thigh.
