Can someone tell me who is this beautiful young woman who look like Lorna Dane. Can this really be Lorna? I don’t remember where I got this, but it has no explanation whatsoever who she really is. I hope this is Lorna and if it is, where is that panel from? What issue? Thanks
I finally found confirmation of what I was very sure this is: it’s Aphrodite IX (EDIT: Apparently it’s Aphrodite IV according to lordtimeblogposts, my bad!).

Lorna’s been mind-controlled a lot of times, but it’s never been in this way where an entire organization is controlling her and talking about uploading mission parameters like she’s a robot. The government in Marvel had a plan to brainwash Lorna and use her as a weapon against Magneto during the 90s X-Factor, but it never happened.
Still, this is really good art. And it’s pretty common for people to see pictures of Aphrodite IX and think it’s Polaris, at least in my recent experience.
I think it says a lot in favor of Polaris and how Marvel should use her more if a headliner at a competitor that has her own title is often mistaken for an “obscure” character Marvel never promotes.
